A340-600: Rejected Take-Off test One of the tests to be undertaken for the certification of a new aircraft is the accelerate-stop with "maximum energy braking" test. This was undertaken for the A340-500/600 on February 12, 2002 in Istres using MSN360, the prototype aircraft. This test, which is based on brakes already close to their wear limit, is always one of the last to be performed and it is not unusual for unexpected events to occur. The test is in general a destructive test for the brakes, wheels and tyres, with occasionally some risk of local damage to the airplane. In this particular instance the test proceded normally, with the target braking distance and brake energy levels being obtained during the deceleration. However, several minutes after the aircraft had come to a stand, damage occurred to a number of wheels. The cause of the wheel damage, which is consistent across affected wheels, has been identified as an insufficient margin in the design of the wheels to withstand the extreme heat transfer from the brakes and the associated increase in tyre pressure after the aircraft had stopped. The results were reviewed with the component manufacturer and modifications defined. They consist in local reinforcement of the wheels and modifications to the thermal shield between the brake assembly and the wheel. [Mas+detalle]

Tg2 motori prova la nuova Lamborghini Reventon (F. Moscarini). Per i 20 esemplari della Reventón i designer di Sant'Agata Bolognese hanno creato una tonalità del tutto nuova: il Reventón, un grigio-verde opaco medio, esente dalla consueta lucentezza. In virtù di determinate particelle metalliche, tuttavia, questa tonalità cromatica presenta al sole una sorprendente profondità. [Mas+detalle]

Extract from the 30/01/2008 podcast of Gilles Peterson (download the whole at http://www.gillespetersonworldwide.com/podcasts.php). In this podcast Gilles Peterson tells about how he compiled his latest album "in the House" on which this track features. Because it's a radioshow-like podcast, the man himself can be heard talking through the music, sorry about that. If you want the music without the comments, I suggest you buy the aforementioned album. It's been released 6th februari '08, so it shouldn't be hard to find... This track got my attention 'cause it's deep and soulful; the way I like it. [Mas+detalle]

Upshot-Knothole Grable was a nuclear weapons test conducted by the United States as part of Operation Upshot-Knothole. Detonation of the associated nuclear weapon occurred shortly after its deployment at 8:30am PDT (1530 UTC) on May 25, 1953, in Area 5 of the Nevada Test Site. The codename Grable was chosen because the letter Grable is phonetic for, G, stands for "gun", since the warhead was a gun-type fission weapon. It was in the form of a shell, or artillery-fired atomic projectile (AFAP), the first of its kind. Grable was only the second gun-type warhead ever detonated (the first was Little Boy, the weapon used against Hiroshima; all other atomic weapons were and are implosion-type weapons). The shell, designated a Mark 9 nuclear weapon, had a diameter of 280 mm (11.02 in), was 54.4 in. (138 cm) long and weighed 803 lb. (364 kg) The gun it was fired from had a muzzle velocity of 2,060 ft/s. (625 m/s), for a nominal range of 20 miles, and weighed 85 t (77 metric tons). The detonation of Grable occurred 19 seconds after its firing.[1] It detonated over 11,000 yards (over 6.25 miles, 10 km) away from the gun it was fired from, over a part of NTS known as Frenchman Flat. The explosion was an air burst of 524 ft. (160 m) above the ground (24 ft./7 m above its designated burst altitude), 87 ft. (26 m) west and 136 ft. (41 m) south of its target (slightly uprange). Its yield was estimated at 15 kilotons, around the same level as Little Boy. An anomalous feature of the blast was the formation of a precursor, a second shock front ahead of the incident wave. This precursor was formed when the shock wave reflected off the ground and surpassed the incident wave and Mach stem due to a heated ground air layer and the low burst height. It resulted in a lower overpressure, but higher overall dynamic pressure, which inflicted much more damage on drag sensitive targets such as jeeps and personnel carriers. This led strategists to rethink the importance of low air bursts in tactical nuclear warfare. [Mas+detalle]

AN ISSUE THAT LIBERALS AND CONSERVATIVES CAN AGREE WITH!!! Mike Huckabee is a supporter and a leader in the FAIRTAX(tax reform) and that is why John McCain should pick Mike Huckabee for Vice President!!! Call McCain's office at 703-418-2008 and let him know you want the FAIRTAX and Mike Huckabee for Vice President! A MUST READ!!! A brief summary of the FAIRTAX A. The FAIRTAX will eliminate income taxes, withholding, self-employment taxes, bonus taxes, overtime taxes, social security taxes, medicare taxes, alternative minimum taxes, estate taxes, gift taxes, corporate taxes, capital gain taxes, small business taxes, and replace it with a 23% sales tax. Plus it will give each American household that are citizens a rebate check based on the poor necessities of life. It will also abolish the 16th admendment and prevent the government from taxing us twice! B. Its Fair because for example if you are rich and you buy a $20,000 rolex watch you pay more in taxes but the same percentage as someone buying a $95.00 fossil watch so it is fair for the rich and the poor that may one day become rich. C. The FAIRTAX is Fair for the poor and middle class because of the rebate check. Under the FAIRTAX there is no taxes on necessity items (food, clothing, water etc), but it is not a necessity to have a party and to buy lots of food or to go on a shopping spree and buy lots of cloths. That is the purpose of the FAIRTAX rebate checks, and the size of the rebate check depends on the size of your household. For example base on 2004 estimates: Single person Annual Consumption Allowance(ACA) is $9,310 and will receive a rebate of $2,254 per year / a Couple ACA is $12,490 and will receive a rebate of $4,508 per year/ Couple with one child ACA is $16,090 and will receive a rebate of $5,290 per year/ Couple with two children ACA is $19,350 will receive a rebate of $6,072 per year. The FAIRTAX will untaxed the poor and allow the poor and middle class to make money without being penalize for making to much money. The current tax system penalize your ability to make money when you work overtime, receiving a bonus, move up from one tax bracket to another, working two jobs etc. D. The FAIRTAX will give all Americans the ability to pay down debt faster. With the FAIRTAX you will keep your full paycheck and you only pay taxes only when you buy something. HAVING YOUR FULL PAYCHECK WILL ALLOW YOU TO PAY OFF DEBT FASTER! E. The current tax system tax you base on your income and quadrant (if you are an employee, small business owner, investor, corporation). The employee and small business owner get hit the hardest in taxes, and it puts are government in a powerful position that chooses the winners and losers of the tax system. That is one main reason why there are 34,000 lobbyist that lobby 535 congressmen in Washington. Are Elected officials are acting like kings that receives gifts from lobbyist in exchange of relief in the tax system for their corporation, and OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS EXPOSED TO BE REPRESENTING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE NOT THE LOBBIST IN WASHINGTON. The FAIRTAX will eliminate the confusion that our elected officials have on who they should be representing F. The FAIRTAX will remove all the tax loop holes that millionaires and billionaires enjoy because they are able to pay for the best tax lawyers, the best tax accountant and the best lobbyist that remove their tax burdens every year. The current tax system taxes based on income produce not wealth assets. I am a Capitalist but it is not capitalism when the government can choose who the winners and losers are going to be and it is not capitalism when the current tax system taxes one group of people better than another. For one example Bill Gates is worth over $47billion if he does not produce an income this year in the eyes of the current tax system Bill Gates is just as poor as the homeless living under a bridge! The FAIRTAX will remove this nonsense. If the FAIRTAX was implemented than Bill Gates will be taxed based on what he buys no more loop holes. For more info on the FAIRTAX and to sign the petition goto www.fairtax.org for more info on the candidates goto www.mikehuckabee.com and www.johnmccain.com To make a difference call John McCain's office at 703-418-2008 and let him know you want the FAIRTAX and Mike Huckabee for Vice President! MIKE HUCKABEE FOR VICE PRESIDENT!!!! [Mas+detalle]

JREF DVD #354 BBC Horizon performs the ultimate test of Homeopathy. This is the complete 1 hour episode which gives accounts of the first test of homeopathy done by Nature Magazine at Jacque Benveniste's lab in the 1980's. Also included is BBC Horizon's test in which they attempted to take the James Randi million dollar challenge. More information on Homeopathy (water memory): Water memory is a scientifically unsupported speculation that water is capable of retaining a memory of particles once dissolved in it, even after being diluted so much that the chance of even one molecule remaining in the quantity being used is minuscule. Shaking the water at each stage of a serial dilution is claimed to be necessary for an effect to occur. The concept was proposed by Jacques Benveniste to explain the alleged therapeutic powers of homeopathic remedies, which are prepared by serially diluting aqueous solutions to such a high degree that no molecules of original solute remain in the final preparation. Benveniste sought to prove this as the basic foundation of homeopathy, by conducting an experiment to be published "independently of homeopathic interests" in a major journal.[4] However, while some studies, including Benveniste's, have claimed such an effect, double-blind repetitions of the experiments involved have failed to reproduce the results, and the concept is not accepted by the scientific community More information on Homeopathy (water memory) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_memory More Information on James Randi: http://www.randi.org [Mas+detalle]
