A PERFECT 10: GREAT SHORT STORIES
Review by Pat Black
Just for jolly – and before I change my mind - here are my favourite short stories.
No particular genre, no specific length.
10. The Nine Billion Names of God by Arthur C Clarke
Sometimes, when you finish a big book, you feel a sense of relief. Even if you really enjoyed it, it's nice to get it over with and start something fresh.
With Arthur C Clarke's Collected Stories, I only felt regret that I had finished it, and seriously considered starting it again.
Ignoring "The Sentinel" and its cinematic advantage, "The Nine Billion Names of God" is possibly Clarke's most famous short story. Set deep in the Himalayas, it sees a group of scientists using a computer to calculate the name of god. The 300-year project has been spitting out endless streams of text, using every possible letter combination in existence. The boffins hypothesise that once their machines uncover god's actual name, the big guy in the sky will consider humanity's purpose as complete, and get in touch with us.
Written in 1953, the story betrays a key aspect of early computing which we tend to forget now that these devices are everywhere: they are counting machines, to a greater or lesser extent, even if it's calculating "1" or "0". The plodding, clunky, systematic nature of the task in "The Nine Billion Names of God" recalls Borges' Library of Babel, its books stuffed with every possible combination and sequence of letters into infinity. The task seems so meaningless and futile, I'm surprised no-one has produced a computer program to replicate it in our gilded age.
Lots of people find Clarke boring, and denigrate his characterisation skills as well as his slightly tin ear for dialogue. But he packs loads of atmosphere into this one, as his scientists peer out into the stars from the roof of the world.
Clarke occasionally showed religious flashes in his stories, leaning more towards Buddhism than the Christian tradition of his homeland as he grew old in Sri Lanka. But this tale evokes a decidedly Old Testament sense of awe and dread as we turn our faces towards an almighty presence completely relaxed at the prospect of turning out the lights.
9. Cathedral by Raymond Carver
During my dim and distant undergraduate days, I recall a lecturer reading out this whole story to a class and suffering some kind of breakdown near the end of it. "I make no apology for this," the guy said, wiping the tears away, "I'm not ashamed. This story affects me like no other."
Whether this was a literature-induced breakdown or, as I now suspect, the poor guy had a panic attack, I'll never know. What I do know is, I mocked the lecturer for his emotion, braying pitiless laughter as I recounted the incident later on to anyone who would listen. I was just sixteen years old, and a fool. Education is indeed wasted on the young.
Carver is justly hailed as a great late-20th century American voice. His characters and the problems they face are prosaic; the execution of his stories is anything but.
"Cathedral" sees a wife inviting a blind friend home for dinner. The husband, who narrates the story, is jealous to start with, after the wife reveals she once allowed the blind man to touch her face.
The sequence of events is, "blind man comes for dinner; they have dinner; they get stoned; they draw pictures". But a sublime communion starts to develop between the three as they embark on a great feast, consumed by a fit of the munchies. "We ate. By god, we ate."
Epiphany lurks on these pages, an insight into that higher plane where great art can send us. I think that's what the lecture was about. The story was certainly on a higher plane to my 16-year-old self; it whooshed far overhead.
Perhaps now, more than 20 years since I first encountered "Cathedral", I can understand why a soft-spoken Australian man, or anyone, might crack up in the reading of it.
As a weird post-script to my Raymond Carver experiences, I remember someone once setting up a "Raymond Carver tribute" near a run-down garden in the shadow of some Glasgow tower blocks. This bizarre collage sitting in the middle of a residential street even made the BBC Scotland news. My recall is hazy but I think it might have been the work of an art student on some project or other.
But I like to imagine that it was the tearful lecturer.
8. The Monkey's Paw by WW Jacobs
A beloved stand-by of scary anthologies the world over, this is the classic Edwardian horror. No dark fiction collection feels complete without it. That would be like the Eagles not playing Hotel California, or more appropriately, Iron Maiden eschewing Run To The Hills.
"The Monkey's Paw" is an English variation of the Aladdin folk tale from the 1,001 Nights, but it has become famous in its own unique way.
You surely know it. The old general visiting the couple and their son, a domestic situation as mild and homely as hot buttered toast… then the horrid object in the title, the three wishes it bestows, and the terrible price that must be paid for them.
But more than that, there's the simple fear of the unknown. What in god's name is behind that door?
7. Weekend by Fay Weldon
As jarring as any horror story, Weldon's "Weekend" looks at the trampled, taken-for-granted world of an exhausted wife and mother. She's a functionary of her household's lives, an essentially unloved factotum. Her status and existence is threatened when a friend of her husband comes to visit for a weekend, bringing along with him a younger girlfriend - a trade-in deal on his own long-suffering wife - and all the potential horrors she represents.
I've seen this misery inflicted on tired, ground-down women so many times, and you'll certainly recognise elements of the mother at the centre of the drama. I'll quote my own words, from one of our reviews from a few years ago: "Weldon sustains a terrific pace, and portrays the tragedy of a woman who has become a doormat, part of the furniture, an uninteresting fixture. It was the most disturbing story in the book, and it didn't rely on bloodshed, sex or death to draw this reaction."
6. Abject Misery by James Kelman
A Glasgow man gets through his day as best he can. He's down to the fluff in his pockets. He's not thinking too much beyond what's happening there and then. There's not a great deal in the way of good luck to be had. But he laughs in the face of his misfortunes, as only those at the bottom can.
The title is a misnomer, as this story indulges a certain insouciant glee in the face of poverty - poverty of means, poverty of ambition, poverty of circumstances. But as Kelman's fellow Glaswegian (and mine) Paolo Nutini sang: nothin's gonna get him down.
5. The Tower by Marghanita Laski
In a tournament I devised one feverish Sunday afternoon on these very pages, I judged "The Tower" to be the greatest horror story ever written. It might be the best one you've never heard of. It features an English woman visiting a tower in rural Italy. She comes across a spooky painting. Then she makes her way downstairs…
This story works hard to be weird and unsettling. What's her husband's problem? And who is the guy with the evil eyes in the painting? On top of this, it has a perfect finish, leaving us with a horrible last-line shock.
"The Tower" blends subtle dread and nasty surprise to an extraordinary extent, frightening us despite not a drop of blood being spilled. It's quite hard to find; the JA Cuddon-edited Penguin Ghost Stories is your best bet. But it's well worth the search.
4. Story of Your Life by Ted Chiang
I had no idea before researching this story that it had won quite so many awards, but it didn't surprise me.
Part of Brian Aldiss' Penguin Science Fiction Omnibus, this story sees a linguist handed the ultimate challenge: to help translate an utterly alien language after humans make contact with beings from beyond the stars. Through this task, the linguist painstakingly unravels our assumptions about speech, communication and its written representation, building something completely new and reaching a fresh understanding about existence while she's at it.
In the midst of these dense philosophical concepts there's a personal drama taking place, as the linguist gets close to one of her fellow scientists. She also addresses her daughter in the narrative, speaking to her in the second person…
Gradually, our assumptions of time and experience are challenged, our knowledge boosted, and our philosophical understanding of the universe turned upside down.
Great literature is like taking a long drink after a hike on a hot day. This is a very special story, and, if printed out and rolled up, could make a perfectly weighted weapon with which to clobber people who don't consider SF to be serious literature.
3. Solid Objects by Virginia Woolf
The prime example of a great story in which nothing of note happens.
A parliamentary candidate diverts his energies from campaigning towards finding treasures in his daily life – "treasures" meaning things like broken china, pieces of glass worn smooth on a beach, flakey iron bars. Like the people in his life, we wonder what the hell this man is doing. Doesn't he realise there's an election coming up?
Woolf shares her protagonist's sheer delight in what AS Byatt called "the thingyness of things" in the introduction to The Oxford Book of English Short Stories. She describes the man's objets trouve with the attention to detail and brio of the great visual artists. Woolf revels in her main character's carefree, childlike joy in discovery - and because of that, so do you.
I wouldn't say this year's Westminster election hopefuls should be made to read "Solid Objects" before polling day, but I might be more prepared to vote for one who had enjoyed it.
2. The Snows of Kilimanjaro by Ernest Hemingway
Uncle Ernie could be such a sourpuss.
Here, the classic Hemingway protagonist slowly dies of gangrene in a tent; while he goes grumpily into that good night, he can't help but take a swipe at his fretting woman.
Despite its grim scenario, this story is joyous, a rampage through the untold stories that fizz inside us all. "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" portrays storytelling as the stuff of life. It shows how the recollection of experience becomes fuel for our own tales, which then go on in turn to inform experience for others. As it bursts into sudden, startling bloom, "Snows" has a freewheeling sensation you wouldn't normally associate with Hemingway's famously staccato, sometimes stolid delivery.
The author's reputation has taken a dreadful beating in recent years, with his machismo – and in particular his bloodlust, as he blunderbusses rare and beautiful animals out of existence – badly out of step with the modern world.
"What was the leopard doing so far up the mountain?" Probably trying to avoid being shot by you, mate.
At times, Hemingway seems the most horrid boor, like that friend you know to say goodnight to before he's had one too many pisco sours. He's almost certainly who you'd want to take on in Literary Fight Club.
But "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" is a monumental achievement, and stands tall to this day.
1. The Fog Horn by Ray Bradbury
Two lighthouse keepers stare out into thick fog as the great beam slices through the night. Somewhere out there, a monster lurks.
What a classic premise. There are many ways Bradbury's monster mash could have gone to schlock – and indeed, the lighthouse gets a thorough monstering by the end. But it's the sense of loneliness that makes this tale, as chilly as the fog that enshrouds the mysterious creature as it returns to the surface, hoping to find what it has been searching for all its life.
We feel sympathy for the monster's terrible predicament, its loneliness, and perhaps, in our heart of hearts, its ultimate rage. Whoever said unrequited love is the best kind obviously never got on the wrong side of a randy sea monster.
But "The Fog Horn" could be history's greatest love story; it's certainly history's greatest monster story. So for that reason, I reckon it's the greatest story, period.
I hope the monster found what it was looking for, out there in The Deeps.
Pleas in mitigation:
:: I've only ever read one John Updike story, one James Thurber story and two Graham Greene stories. I have never read anything by John Cheever.
Where the women at?
:: It should be a fifty-fifty split between the boys and girls, really, and I was thinking about slicing it that way. But I must be honest about which stories I enjoyed best.
Katherine Mansfield, Maya Angelou, Ali Smith, Kate Chopin, Margaret Atwood and Flannery O'Connor could have appeared here, but didn't. That's to say nothing of Anais Nin: the Elvis Presley of erotic writing.
Perhaps this says more about publication and critical regard being more heavily weighted towards men throughout history. Or maybe I simply haven't read enough women.
But I fully accept: three out of ten's a fail.
Hey, why didn't you include..?
:: I had to be brutal. On another day I might have put Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Roald Dahl, William Trevor, MR James, JG Ballard, Martin Amis, Alan Sillitoe, James Joyce of course, EF Benson, HG Wells… the list is practically endless (and all male so far!)... Argh, how could I forget about Saki?!
But here's a comforting thought: there's so much more wonderful work still to discover, and yet more still to be written. In ten years' time, my top 10 could be totally changed.
I'll meet you back here in 2025.

Every time an economic bubble develops, many will tell you how "this time it's different," how "this time the rules have changed." The lie of the Web 2.0 bubble is that free is the way to succeed in the new economy. That's not true. The rules of economics have not changed. The best way to make money in the new economy, in the Web 2.0 economy, comes down to the same fundamental business model that has always existed: create something of value for people who will pay for it.
However, the reason there's a huge gap between people paying you nothing and people paying you something is because that's where you go from hobby to business. Between zero revenue and positive revenue lies your business model. Going from zero pay to a penny is where you've discovered how to make money–and that's what businesses are about. The penny gap separates the winners from the losers, economically speaking.
"Free is a great way to make money. You just have to know how you are going to get paid for being free."
That's the key to having a business: getting paid, not whether you offer free samples in the morning newspaper to convince people your shampoo smells really great.
Free is a great tactic towards getting paid in other ways: through advertising, or by premium services, or maybe even through being acquired by a company with a large wallet. Free is only a tactic, though, NOT a business model.


This is a letter I posted a long time ago.
It instantly puts gratitude and appreciation back into life.
I will put the main points up top that are also at the end.
That way, those of you who don't want to read the whole thing, can just enjoy the net net. The rest of you, savor the full letter to you – the human.
It's not a dangerous world. You live in a purposeful universe.
Uncertainty is not something to resist; it's the gateway to possibility.
Loss is a natural part of life and can initiate you.
We are all ONE, and you are never alone.
So go forth, dear human, and fear not. You are loved. You are enough. And finally, in this present moment, you are FREE.
I hate to break it to you, but you are not in control of your life. This is not meant to frighten you. On the contrary, it's meant to liberate you. Do not worry. You're not at the mercy of a random, chaotic universe flouncing you around like a yo-yo on a string. This is not a dangerous world always threatening to hurt you. No, dear. You live in a purposeful universe, in which every moment is infused with meaning and richness. You may not understand the meaning right away. You may feel victimized. Life might seem unfair. But when you look back, you will see that it all makes sense that even times of tragedy were filled with purpose that your soul grew even as you grieved.
I know you yearn for certainty. You want guarantees. You long for forever. But you forget that by guarding against uncertainty, you close yourself off to possibility. When you don't know what the future holds, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE. This invites mystery. Awe and wonder might be yours. Within the uncertainty lies potential.
Yet it also holds the threat of loss, and this is why you fear it. I know you think you can't handle losing what you cherish, so you cling to the illusion of control. But the reality is that life is impermanent. Even this very moment will be gone one second from now. Yet loss need not be something to resist or fear. Fearing loss only wastes your energy, because you can't prevent it, no matter how much you cling. While nobody wants to lose that which you hold dear, if you shift your perspective, you'll see that loss can initiate you. It can separate your life into two parts- life before the loss; life after. When you let loss initiate you, it strengthens you. Your soul walks through a doorway, and the doorway is one way. When loss initiates you, what you gain is permanent.
I know it feels safer to try to control your life. Of course you cherish that which you love. You crave stability, security, and certainty. You long to protect what you don't want to lose. You grasp it with both hands and pull it to your chest. But what you grasp is made of sand. It slips through your fingers no matter how you grip it.
I understand that this thought it intolerable. You think you can't handle losing what matters to you. But you sell yourself short, dear human. You've forgotten your capacity for infinite change. The way you cling to the illusion of certainty limits you. You stagnate. You resist change, and yet change is inevitable. How do you expect to be happy when you're always resisting what is? Why can't you just be with what is? Accept what is happening right now. Accept what happened in the past. Accept that you can't predict or control the future. Accept this moment and pay no attention to any other moment other than RIGHT NOW. In this moment, you will find peace.
As long as you need certainty, you won't take risks, and joy requires risk. You have to risk your heart. You must risk loss. Because you are human, you'll be asked to stand in a rush of love so potent that you can barely breath; yet, in that moment, you will be crushed with how vulnerable you are, because nothing you can do will guarantee that you can keep that which leaves you so vulnerable. To stand there and experience love that deeply without pushing it away or grasping it to you is WHY YOU ARE HERE. To learn to be that vulnerable, that brave, to leave your heart that open is the ultimate life test. This test is pass/fail. You can't do it halfway. The minute you armor against that vulnerability, you lose the joy. It's your choice- your path to follow. Nobody will judge you either way. No one cares whether you pass or fail the test. You have free will, and just like the birds don't mind and the forest doesn't judge, you can do as you please.
But as a doctor who has been at the bedside of a lot of dying people, I can vouch for the fact that the dying rarely regret not having enough control over their lives. They regret that they didn't risk more. They regret not loving enough and not opening their hearts all the way so that love spills out like a broken coconut. They regret love unspoken, ways in which they held back, the armor they wore in order to protect themselves from the vulnerability of love. They regret failing to forgive those who hurt them. They regret not making compassion their #1 value. And in those final moments, when they feel the pain of how much their desire for control led them to sacrifice the opportunity to truly love, they find that the person who needs the most compassion is themselves.
Dear human, don't be one of those people who dies with regret. It's not too late. There's still time. It's your choice. Instead, you can be one of those people who die with a wide-open heart, with no love left unexpressed, with a heart fully spent from loving expansively, with a litany of people who will be initiated by the loss of you. You can be God consciousness in human form and love all the way, all the time. Your heart is this capacious. Why don't you know this about yourself, darling? You bumble around, thinking you're the one human whose heart isn't big enough to love like this. But it is. I promise. You have no idea how massively you can love.
I know life is hard. Life hurts. You've suffered deeply. You've lost so much already. You can wallow in the pain, or you can shift everything in an instant. Today can be the first day of the rest of your life. We are boundless beings, connected to each other, infused with spirit, bonded by the suffering we all share, and liberated by the choice we can make, right here, right now, to wake up from the illusion that we must control life.


Sometimes it´s not the outside world that needs to change -- it´s us! Here we´ll look at ways to re-design our thinking and actions as they relate to money, wealth and abundance.
Does Money Make You Feel Fulfilled?
Understanding what makes us feel "fulfilled," and how we use money to get to that place, gives us tremendous control over our financial lives.
Facing realities around money, and our personal finances in particular, can make us anxious, confused, and sometimes leave us feeling hopeless. Answer these two questions and you will be well on your way to designing a life of abundance and prosperity.


New Beverages market report from Canadean: "Pakistan Soft Drinks Review 2012"
Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/27/2013 -- A competitively priced comprehensive overview of the key categories in the soft drinks market.
Soft Drinks Review 2012 reports provide a comprehensive overview of soft drinks markets. Compiled from Canadean's extensive global soft drinks database, the reports offer a cost effective way of quickly gaining an understanding of the industries dynamics and structure.
Current economic environment remains gloomy in western markets and Eurozone countries are having a particularly turbulent ride.
Soft drinks growth in developing market continues to be boosted by an expanding consumer base and rising disposable income levels. In developed markets there is a trend towards natural and local products.
The 2012 Soft Drinks Review reports comprise of data tables, charts and supporting text. The reports are compiled from Canadean's extensive global soft drinks databases which are researched individually by country using our specialist researchers 'on the ground'. Soft Drinks Reviews provide an invaluable guide to latest trends.
Data includes consumption volumes (million litres & litres per capita) for key soft drinks categories from 2006 to 2011 plus forecasts to 2015.
Percentage markets shares are provided for key soft drinks categories including segmentation data, packaging data and distribution (2010 and 2011 actuals, plus 2012 forecasts.
Leading companies' market shares for 2010 and 2011 are provided by soft drinks category.
A market valuation is provided for each soft drinks category and, where applicable, new products in 2011 are identified.
Global economic turbulence affects soft drinks market as consumer purchasing power remains low in many markets.
Rising commodity costs are leading some producers to look at ways at lowering costs, e.g. by producing lower juice content drinks.
Consumer environmental concerns affecting beverage choices such as packaged water.
Price promotions and marketing activity were strongly in evidence towards the end of 2012 in Europe and this is expected to continue in to 2013. The climate of heavy promotional activity is expected to raise pressure on Private Label brands and producers.
Key sporting events in 2012 such as the London Olympic Games and UEFA Championships provide an opportunity for soft drinks.
Innovation keeps energy growth lively, with the flavours and packs emerging.


U.S. Rep. Paul Kanjorski Tuesday night voted against an energy bill he co-sponsored and praised earlier this summer. He then voted for a bill that includes provisions he had opposed.
Kanjorski signed on as a co-sponsor of House Resolution 6709, a bipartisan bill called the National Conservation, Environment, and Energy Independence Act, on July 3. The bill, which would have lifted the ban on offshore drilling, had broad bipartisan support and Kanjorski was one of its 138 co-sponsors.
H.R. 6709 would repeal the offshore ban and allow drilling beyond 25 miles from shore, with states having complete authority from 25 to 50 miles off their coastline. Kanjorski, D-Nanticoke, voted against that measure on Tuesday, which subsequently failed .Minutes later, he voted for H.R. 6899, which passed. That bill bans offshore drilling within 50 miles of shore.
In a prepared release Friday, Kanjorski explained why he voted against the energy bill he co-sponsored and in favor of the other version.
Kanjorski said legislation enacted in 2006 placed a moratorium on drilling in much of the eastern Gulf of Mexico to protect military areas off the coast of Florida from oil development. After much debate on the House floor on Tuesday, Kanjorski said he became aware of the importance of the moratorium for the military areas, which the Peterson-Abercrombie bill did not protect and could therefore hurt national security.
In a prepared release, Kanjorski's opponent in the 11th District Congressional race, Republican Lou Barletta, said Kanjorski's vote will do nothing to reduce the price of gasoline, heating oil or natural gas.


A new discrete stiffener model (DSM) analysis capability is available in HyperSizer. Using this analysis capability, unique stiffener buckling, crippling, strength, and local buckling margins of safety may be reported for each skin and panel segment component. This provides the flexibility for designing stiffened panel bays with stiffeners that have varying dimensions and materials. Additionally, the discrete techniques will capture the effects of having non-uniformly spaced stiffeners and stiffener terminations. During the analysis, HyperSizer determines how the stiffener and skins fit together to form a stiffened panel. The software will automatically determine the stiffener spacings, heights, and how to map the loads to perform stiffener analysis like stiffener crippling and flexural torsional buckling.
HyperSizer provides six steps to help design and optimize laminates simultaneously for strength, stability, and manufacturability. It begins by generating composite laminates, defining optimum layup areas and end-of-ply transition zones on the part surface, solving for ply count compatibility across the zones, and then sequencing the actual ply ordering while reducing weight and minimizing ply drops. Factors are provided for controlling which plies to drop, plies to maintain continuous across transitions, and the amount of interleaving. The last step provides convenient ways to perform final edits to the laminates and to export and import from Excel spreadsheets, FiberSIM, and CATIA.
This six-step process establishes a common active laminate sizing variable that works across multiple groups and components of different panel concepts. This common active laminate sizing variable will sequence layups of a stiffened panel skin, sandwich panel facesheet, or a solid laminate simultaneously. The result is laminates that are weight optimum for both stress margins and manufacturing ease.
New analysis predictions are provided for stiffened panels to capture failure modes such as flexural-torsional buckling (FTB), compression, and shear incomplete diagonal tension (IDT) postbuckling based on NACA TN 2661. FTB is frequently the controlling failure mode for airframes, rocket launch vehicles, ship hulls, and rail cars. Postbuckling is a weight-reducing technique that allows the skin of a stiffened panel to initially buckle before reaching the required limit load and is allowed if reserve strength in the panel can be proven by analysis. However, postbuckling analysis is difficult and time consuming to do manually or with nonlinear FEA.
Effective width is computed and displayed for the applied load and failure load. The effective width will always be smaller at the collapse failure load resulting in the most reduced stiffness.
The angle of the diagonal tension and the K Factor (degree of tension field vs. shear resistant behavior) is also computed and displayed for the applied load and failure load.
HyperSizer automates bolt bearing and BJSFM analysis and provides a form to enter data and visualize analysis results. Recent improvements to the bolted joint capability include the automatic extraction of bearing and bypass loads from the FEM without requiring a discretely meshed hole in the laminate. Then the extracted fastener forces are automatically passed to the bolted joint analysis methods to provide a fast, robust solution to reporting bolt bearing and BJSFM margins of safety for every fastener and load case in a global FEM.
DirectX graphics features allow HyperSizer users to post-process analysis results such as margins of safety, controlling failure analysis, controlling load case, and ply-by-ply stresses and strains for the controlling ply and for the outer and inner most plies. Also included is the ability to interactively change the component, group, and assembly definitions by selecting regions on the FEM. Many graphics enhancements have been developed and included in HyperSizer to provide frequently used and unique stress analysis features such as free edge forces, FEM connection joints, and cross-sectional EI, GJ properties.
Three new composite structural panel concepts have been added to the HyperSizer library. The first concept is a rod/bulb stiffened with integrated frame. Boeing, NASA, and the Air Force Research Labs are developing this structural concept known as PRSEUS for innovative airframes that require biaxial strength and stability. The second concept is a reinforced core foam sandwich with an integral web stiffener. The third concept is a circular tube with integrated tapered ends.
Native sizing optimization and specialized failure analyses are conveniently performed for these concepts without FEA if the loads are known. For vehicle applications that do require FEA for quantifying internal loads, sizing and analyses are conveniently performed for the application using a coarsely meshed, single plane of shell finite elements. Discretely meshed models for the individual panel objects such as the rods, webs, core, and skins are not needed.
This concept has 21 unique cross-sectional dimension and material laminate sizing variables, the most of any HyperSizer panel. In addition to stiffener and skin variables, it has the advantage of including frame specific sizing variables (spacing, height, width, flange width, cap width, foam material, and laminates). Unlike other concepts where the frames of--for example--an airframe fuselage or rocket barrel interstage/intertank are modeled with separate bar elements, the optimum frame spacing can be sized concurrently with the stiffeners and skins. Frame spacing is an important weight-sensitive variable that is highly coupled with skin and stiffener sizing.
The specific Boeing implementation of this concept is stitched flange to skin joints which provide improved damage tolerance and out-of-autoclave curing for reduced manufacturing costs.
This concept is also of high interest due to its improved damage tolerance and out of autoclave curing for reduced manufacturing costs. Common usage is in wind turbine blade and civil construction industries. A commercially available version of this structural panel is Tycore (R) from the Webcore corporation. The internal web provides increased out-of-plane shear load carrying capability in the Qx direction.
This composite concept can be sized using FEA loads or with an integrated spreadsheet that computes loads closed form for the overall truss structure. Extreme lightweight aerospace applications include struts of NASA's lunar lander. Other applications include bicycle frames.
More test data has been added to the test database and three additional failure analyses are fully populated with test data. They are composite crippling analysis, compression and shear post buckling, and stiffened panel flexural-torsional buckling. These failure modes are now validated. Additionally, major simplifications have been made to the test database correlation visual display.
The term validation, as used in HyperSizer, refers to correlating an analysis failure prediction with a test result. With HyperSizer, you can validate analysis methods using the same process used to perform an analysis. Once the part dimensions, materials, layup, applied loads, and boundary conditions have been entered into HyperSizer to perform the analysis prediction, the only additional step is entering the test failure load. Once established, the data resides in a Workspace project in the HyperSizer database and is easily maintained and retrieved for decades to come and can be exported to a detailed stress report with equations included.
Existing data contained in the HyperSizer test database may be all that your design project needs for certification of a particular analysis method.There are over 500 unique tests covering several different failure analysis modes. However, you can easily add your own test data to supplement existing data or use only your own test data to certify a unique concept or fabrication process.
A new simplified view of the correlation is available for users requiring quick and easy access to correlation data.
Once predicting average test failure load is achieved, the next step is to establish correction factors for required conservatism such as B basis design-to allowables. This same data correlation process is used to establish consistent conservatism and certification documentation for all other analyses such as crippling, panel buckling, etc.
The software now identifies and controls ply drop/add boundaries for defining the best laminate transitions and ply patterns. This includes automatic assignment of finite elements to optimum laminate zones to achieve light weight and manufacturability. The number, shape, and size of the sizing components (zones) is now part of the design optimization process.
A designer or analyst will not know the optimum layout of areas where the laminates should be the same or be allowed to be different. The issue is trading lightest possible weight versus manufacturability. Typically, the analyst will make the initial definition of which elements of the model are assigned the same laminate property. FEM preprocessors such as Femap, Patran, CATIA, and NX are currently used for this tedious manual assignment. Now the process is automated with HyperSizer and both minimum weight and manufacturability are achieved.
The image below is the root section of a wind turbine blade. The colors represent different laminate stacking zones. Most of the plies are continuous across laminate transition boundaries. Overall, the number of ply drops are substantially reduced for the part. This process is useful for nearly all composite structures including airframe wings and fuselages, engine ducts, cowling, fixed structures, etc.
Twelve new analysis methods documents have been added to the documentation library. The methods and equations documents explain the theory and list the governing equations. Verification and validation documents compare the methods with published solutions, finite element analysis, and test data.

Is it over for Bird w/ the #Yankees?
In recent years the #Yankees have passed on opportunities to acquire Scherzer, Verlander, Cole, and Corbin. But at least they reset the luxury tax so that they could sign Harper or Machado. Wait, what?
Bird needed this season to prove he could stay healthy and be a productive hitter. #Yankees needed LH bat with Gregorius and Hicks out. Harder and harder to believe it is ever going to work for Bird in NY.

In the words of Major Cleo Bigwood: "Many of us are working tirelessly to make things better for you."
Date: Thursday, May 31, 2018
Major Cleo Bigwood. Photo: Lt Cdr R F Abbey RN.
Major Cleo Bigwood is the Force Gender and Child Protection Officer at the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO). She participated at a UN Women training on 'Mainstreaming gender in UN Peacekeeping to End Conflict Related Sexual Violence', which took place in New Delhi in February 2018, funded by the Royal Norwegian Embassy. The course trained 41 military and police officers and humanitarian actors from ten Member States on strategic, operational and tactical approaches to end conflict-related sexual violence.
"For as long as I can remember, I dreamed of working in the field of humanitarian action as a UN Peacekeeper. I joined the British Army in 2011 and today, I am doing my dream job by serving with the UN Peacekeeping Mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo (MONUSCO), protecting women and children, trying to strengthen their voice and agency.
I have always found it striking that there is so little meaningful engagement between protection officers, such as UN Peacekeepers, and members of the community in which they serve, especially with women in the community. I believe that in fragile societies there is an even greater need to build trust and strengthen communication between UN peacekeepers and members of the most vulnerable sections of the society. It is unrealistic to expect that this broad engagement can be achieved by male peacekeepers alone.
At present, only 4 per cent of UN peacekeeping troops are women. The primary challenge is to deploy more female peacekeepers with the ability and the skills to engage with community members and to develop responsive strategies.
Another key challenge is for governments to make their troops more aware about the massive limitations and risks that are prevalent in UN peacekeeping contexts. This can be achieved through thorough, systematic and repeated training on critical topics, such as prevention of conflict-related sexual violence, protection of civilians and how gender relations matter in all this.
UN Women organized a course that I attended in New Delhi, which had three significant features.
First, it focused on the importance and integration of women's voices, as well as their specific protection needs, into peacekeeping. It also provided knowledge and skills on critical gender issues such as conflict-related sexual violence and interaction with survivors of violence, which is particularly useful for me in my role as a Gender and Protection Advisor. The course created a space where members of the military, police and humanitarian agencies from major troop contributing countries could meet, engage with and learn from each other. The training showed us what a UN Peacekeeping mission should be like. As a result, I felt better prepared to return to MONUSCO and continue to serve my mission.
I strongly feel that governments have a critical role to play here. By supporting the United Nations, by deploying more women and financing relevant training for peacekeepers, they can achieve much more.
We may come from different cultures, but all of us at UN Peacekeeping have the same goal that we must strive for—to end crimes against humanity, advance gender equality and contribute towards lasting peace. To all the women and girls in fragile contexts, I want to say, please know that there are many of us working tirelessly to make things better for you."

I recently wrote an article titled "Franchise Organization Joins Forces to Help Hurricane Victims" that featured the power of the collaborative effort of a franchise network to help others.
Franchise organizations are very different from any other company structure due to the individual owners serving their respective communities under one common brand. This unique structure puts boots on the ground like no other business model.
These networks of entrepreneurial business owners create many benefits that make sense for business, such as pooled marketing dollars, shared technology platforms, buying power, support and training as well as best practices and strategies to fast-track business growth for the franchise owners. These networks also have tremendous power to make a difference by using their collective efforts and resources to help others.
Most brands encourage their franchise owners to participate in their communities and to give back whenever possible and practical. Some franchise brands have initiated formal programs to streamline the participation efforts of their franchise operators.
I interviewed franchise operators and franchisors to get a snapshot of the types of initiatives that are taking place in our current marketplace.
Ann Windell is a Chem-Dry Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning franchise owner in Southern Indiana. She has been with Chem-Dry for 25 years and reported that she loves the tremendous support that she receives from their corporate office. She also enjoys the relationships that she has forged over the years with other franchise owners and always looks forward to their annual convention.
Ann mentioned that Chem-Dry has aligned with the Best Friends Animal Society to create the Cleaning for the Paws program. This program encourages the adoption of rescue pets from animal shelters and promotes healthier homes for families and their pets. Ann and her three employees participate in local events and fundraisers and by doing so join forces with their network of over 2,000 U.S. locations to make a real difference. Chem-Dry exceeded its 2017 fundraising goals, donating over $28,000 to Best Friends, and have its sights set on breaking that record for 2018.
Bio-One is a crime and trauma-scene cleaning franchise based out of Denver. It has been growing steadily over the last few years and have recently been ranked #344 in the Entrepreneur magazine's Franchisee 500. Their motto is "Help First, Business Second." Director of Operations Sandi Edds told me about their brand-new initiative to reward law enforcement officers, called Bio-One Backs the Blue. Bio-One is awarding at least four franchises to officers that have been wounded in the line of duty but still want to serve their communities and work side-by-side with their brothers and sisters in blue.
LIME Painting is a new franchise opportunity that delivers coatings and contracting services for new construction, repaints and complete restoration projects for high-end custom homes and commercial buildings. LIME founder and CEO Nick Lopez pointed out that LIME is all about doing "Business As Mission." This philosophy known as BAM is to give back and to help others.
Nick started a nonprofit called LIME Light Outreach, Inc. that focuses on LIME Light's Four Pillars of Knowledge: Faith, Family, Patriotism and Prosperity. These initiatives bring resources to their communities tailored to the youth. LIME Light is leveraged by the franchise model as each franchisee partners with LIME Light within their local communities to empower the youth through knowledge. A current campaign at the LIME Painting-Denver location is geared toward building a church in Ethiopia.
Franchise organizations are having a huge impact on communities around the world by collaborating and working together to bring muc- needed resources to people (and pets) in need. The strength of these innovative companies and the people that make them up is tremendous.
As a member of a franchise organization, you have the opportunity to create or participate in initiatives and programs to help others in your community. You can begin by finding a cause that is near and dear to your heart and then identify resources, systems and people to get the ball rolling.


Coady explores the challenges that morality poses to politics. He confronts the complex intellectual tradition known as realism, which seems to deny any relevance of morality to politics, especially international politics. He argues that, although realism has many serious faults, it has lessons to teach us: in particular, it cautions us against the dangers of moralism in thinking about politics and particularly foreign affairs. Morality must not be confused with moralism: Coady characterizes various forms of moralism and sketches their distorting influence on a realistic political morality. He seeks to restore the concept of ideals to an important place in philosophical discussion, and to give it a particular pertinence in the discussion of politics. He deals with the fashionable idea of "dirty hands," according to which good politics will necessarily involve some degree of moral taint or corruption. Finally, he examines the controversial issue of the role of lying and deception in politics.
C.A.J. Coady is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Melbourne. He also founded and became director of the Centre for Philosophy and Public Issues, the first centre in Australia to be concerned with broad issues of philosophy and public affairs.
