Values-Based Leadership: How Our Personal Values Impact the Workplace

As an individual’s personal values ostensibly impact others and influence their actions, values-based leaders can benefit greatly by exercising their own values to develop vision and to inspire others

Damping device limits spring surging in delicate instrumentation subjected to shock loading to tolerable limits. The device consists of a spiral formed plastic member interleaved between the spring coils in the same helix configuration

The New Testament Teaching on the Doctrine of Entire Sanctification as a Second Crisis Experience

Excerpt: Any true study of the doctrine of entire sanctification must begin with the fact that God is a holy being. A study of this nature, except as it is related to the demand of God, has very little meaning. Dr. H.O. Wiley said that in the Father, holiness is original and underived, and in the Spirit, holiness is imparted. Holiness is a relative term when applied to man. An unbiased study of the Scriptures has shown that God has demanded that man be holy, and that man in his natural condition is not holy in God\u27s sight. The problem resolved into a Biblical study of the doctrine of entire sanctification, rather than a study of the teaching of various schools of theology. It has not been the purpose of this work to ignore the views held by various theologians, but to use them as supplementary to the teaching in the Word. The problem then, was to show the New Testament teaching of entire sanctification that is, whether it is included in regeneration or whether it is a second crisis experience

Results of tests of MTA-2 TPS on the SRB hold-down bolt blast container

The four solid rocket booster (SRB) hold-down posts are fastened to the mobile launch platform (MLP) with four large nuts. At liftoff the nuts are split with explosive changes to release the SRB/Shuttle. A blast container is placed over the nuts to protect the vehicle from flying debris. The blast container is a reusable part and has to be protected from aerodynamic heating during flight. The thermal protection system (TPS) used to protect these blast containers is cork. Fitting the flat cork sheet to this hemispherical shaped blast container is both time consuming and expensive. Another problem is removing the charred cork and epoxy glue from the blast containers. Replacements of this cork with another TPS material such as MTA-2 was examined. Heating rates along the centerline of the forward facing areas of the blast container were determined. The feasibility of using 1/2 in. MTA-2 on the SRB blast containers for protection from ascent, plume impingement and reentry heating is demonstrated
