Observing Abell 2151: The Hercules Cluster
Jul 01 2009 10:38 AM | admin in Observing Skills
The area in Hercules bordering Serpens Caput has always interested me due the remoteness of many of the visible galaxies in that area, many of which are members of the Hercules Supercluster over 500 million light years away.

Deep Sky Tools: 5800 Free Mini-maps
Nov 06 2005 06:51 AM | admin in Observing Skills
Everybody knows that for catching faint deep sky objects, one has to know exactly where to look at. We need a detailed star atlas to succeed, showing very faint stars. Imagine for a moment an atlas reaching the 12.5 magnitude. It would plot millions of stars and would include thousands of charts filling several volumes. Too bulky to carry with us, isn't it? However, what we really need to know in detail is only the neighbourhood of the deep sky object we are looking for. Why charting then with high detail "empty" areas which we are not really interested in? Think in how we do starhopping. First we use our finder, and with the only assistance of our favourite sky atlas (Herald-Bobroff, Sky Atlas 2000) we gradually move to the area. Then we look through the telescope to enlarge the area, look back again to our atlas, and... ops... our atlas does not plot anything of what we can see in the eyepiece field.

Free Mag 7 Star Charts
Apr 24 2005 09:30 AM | admin in Observing Skills
I hope beginner's and experienced observers alike might find some use in these charts -- as a first atlas, as a bridge atlas between planishere and a deeper atlas, as a binocular atlas, as printable charts for outlining observing plans and/or recording small field notes, or to make wallpaper for your outhouse. At the very least, when you take family or friends on an observing outing it is easy (and affordable) to ensure everyone has an atlas of their own to refer to.

Flocking Materials Test -stray light reduction
Mar 12 2005 11:47 AM | admin in Observing Skills
Stray light reflected off inner tube walls in Newtonian & Dobsonian telescopes has been a subject of increasing concern in recent years by Amateur Astronomers. Small portions of this light finds its way to the image plane, where it can significantly diminish resolution and contrast. The degree of image deterioration is directly determined by the degree of reflectance at the inner tube surface. Therefore, in order to achieve the best possible performance, it is critically important to have this reflectance reduced to a possible minimium, particularly in unbaffled tubes. Current methods to reduce this stray light have been to flock the inside walls either

ET Goes On Set With New Moon Clip, Robert Pattinson Interview, Taylor Lautner Interview
Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart Say Edward Will Be In New Moon "More Than You'd Expect"
We had a peek earlier this week and now here's the segment from this evening's Entertainment Tonight! There are two segments, the first of which gives us a look on set but the second is where things get juicy. Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner talk about Edward, Bella and Jacob's onscreen love triangle that is at the heart of New Moon. Plus there's a split second shot of the hot Edward and Bella steamy scene we already love. Most of you want to wait until after this movie comes out to decide if they should stick with one director going forward, so here's a taste of what we can expect from the hotly anticipated Twilight sequel.

I don't go to Legend Cinema anymore. They also stop providing me any free premiere ticket. But it's OK. Even they continue to send me the tickets, I will not be able to go and watch movie anymore.
But I am using Digi Internet Provider. I used to admire them for the reliable connection and speed. Now it's a bit hard for to say but I just renew the subscription for another 5 months. I hope they will improve their speed.
Their CEO contacted me to thank for the article I wrote about them. At the same time, he also mentioned Digi is facing some challenges with a huge increasing of the subscriptions and I believe they also faced some technical issues.
The best part of the Digi is that we can download movies for free and with a very high local speed. I love that since I am a fan of movies.
Yesterday I watched "New World". It's a Korean movie. This movie is for men to watch. I mean it. It's a gangster movie. But I like it.
What is all about?
It's a war between gangsters and polices. In order to get the inside information, police sent many undercover agents. Ja-sung played by LEE Jung-jae spent 8 years of his life to be an undercover agent. He didn't want to continue anymore but his supervisor didn't allow him to quit.
One day the big boss of the gangsters died. Policed started a new operation under the code called "New World". Gang's members are fighting each other to be the big boss. This is a perfect opportunity for police to interfere into internal affair of the gang.
What I like about the movie
It's hard to find a good movie to watch these days. What I like about Asian movies is that we make the movie more personal. "New World" is one of my latest good quality Korean movie. The opening scene will keep your eyes open and pay attention to every move of the characters.
All the actors are well known in Korean movie industry. They performed very well. You won't regret it.
Things to take away
The decision of the undercover agent at the end might surprise you a lot but it will give you a moment of reflection to yourself.
He needs to pick a side. Being as a gangster for 8 years, he has a lot of brothers. One of them decided not to kill him even he know he is a undercover police.
It's the real value of the friendship.
The result of the "New World" operation didn't turn out according to the plan. We need to keep the principals. If we don't follow the principals, bad things will happen for sure.
Don't try to fake things in order to win. All those things will come after you. You can't run from the reality. It will kill you at the end.

Robin Van Persie has confirmed Arsenal's north London derby clash with Tottenham Hotspur will carry an extra edge by insisting it is a game that Arsene Wenger's side simply cannot afford to lose.
Local rivalry ensures the visit of Spurs to the Emirates Stadium is always highly charged. But for the first time in many years, Harry Redknapp's side go to the home of their rivals as clear favourites to win, and with the Gunners' season in danger of imploding.
Wenger's Arsenal team face their near neighbours having exited the FA Cup at the hands of Sunderland and been all but eliminated from the UEFA Champions League after losing their last-16 first-leg tie with AC Milan 4-0.
That means a top-four finish, and with it a place in next season's Champions League, is Arsenal's only realistic chance of salvaging something from the season. But with a ten-point gap between Wenger's men and third-placed Spurs, and Chelsea, Newcastle United and Liverpool all challenging strongly for fourth, Van Persie knows there is no margin for error.
"They're above us for the first time in many years but it's in our hands to change the way things are going, win the game and start moving closer to them," Van Persie said. "A draw will not be a good result for us [on Sunday], either in our bid to catch up with Spurs or in our efforts to fight off our other challengers for a Champions League place."
Wenger admits every game counts now and said: "I don't know if this is my most important derby. It is the most important game because it is the next one. That is what top-level sport is like. For us it is important because we have an opportunity to come back closer to Spurs and strengthen our position in fourth place, which is a very important target."
The Arsenal manager has not given up hope of overhauling Spurs, though. "You judge at the end of the season," he added. "The only thing you can say is that in the last 15 years Spurs have finished behind Arsenal."
Redknapp, meanwhile, made it clear that finishing above Arsenal, and Chelsea too, would be a major achievement. "It's the most important thing this year to be honest," he said. "I really want to be the top London club and at least keep that third place if we can.
"It can all change very quickly so we have got to keep it going and keep playing the we are playing to do that, but finishing as the top London club would be the key, anything above that would be a bonus." Then, of course, the hard work to maintain that status would begin.
"Chelsea are not going to lay down and neither are Arsenal if they don't make it this year," Redknapp added. "You have got to keep improving and it's about how ambitious you are. The chairman is ambitious here and there is no reason why we can't keep pushing on."

I remember first reading about this place on Geoff Wrights Ronda page, and first of all thinking how lovely it looked but as I dont like heights at all never thought I would ever go here. But when the opportunity arose as we were staying in Gibraltar and had hired a car we decided to visit here, I was so glad we did.
- Pros:So much to see
- Cons:Didnt like the drive up there!
- In a nutshell:Glad we went

We were in Ronda in February 2009 and loved it. The drive was winding but the scenary was beautiful. One regret I have is not purchasing a coat that I really liked. Unfortunately, I don't remember the name of the shop that sold men's & women's coats. I haven't been able to find it online either. Hope to make it back there in the near future.
Ronda is amazingly beautiful as illustrated from your outstanding images. Tomas Eriksson :)
Excellent information on Ronda...very helpful and informative...thanks!
Lol. Ronda in my language means ugly. But this place isn`t ugly at all! On the contrary. The town with all those bridges, the environment look stupendous! Thank you for these great tips and pics!
Hi Diana, what a refreshing page. I loved reading your tips ;-)
I enjoyed your Ronda pages and was wondering where you got the information about Dona Margarita of Austria being the widow of Don Jaun. I was so fascinated I have been searching the 'net' for information. But without much luck.
Hi Dianne, you brought back fond memories of Ronda to me this morning! Enjoyed your pages and photos, thank you. Greetings from West Cork.
Dianne, I just had to say that this is a superb page on Ronda. I have been here twice and just can't get enough of this beautiful place. Your tips and pics are awesome. Well done.
A very comprehensive and interesting page - brings it all back to me - now I must find my photos of our visit from a few years ago.
Hope you have a wonderful New Year and may all of your travel dreams come true. Enjoy life with all that it has to offer.

Non-lethal laser defends against pirate attacks
BAE Systems has demonstrated a prototype laser for use by commercial ships to defend against pirate attacks, without causing lasting effects to the assailants.
The laser provides a visual warning to pirates at distances of 2km and beyond and disorientates them at close range, so that weapons cannot be targeted effectively.
Piracy worldwide is on the rise according to reports from the International Maritime Bureau, with 430 attacks worldwide reported last year, up from 406 in 2009. As pirates increase their range and capabilities, commercial shipping agents are looking for ways of preventing attacks whilst avoiding armed guards on their ships.
Bryan Hore, BAE Systems business development manager and the lead for programme, said: 'The whole concept of the anti-piracy campaign that BAE sytems are undertaking is how we might be able to take military technology and employ it in a commercial environment.
'That means first of all simplifying the technology, because of the type of people that would be operating it, but also making it a cost effective.'
The researchers developed a bespoke Neodymium Yttrium Aluminium Garnet (Nd:YAG) laser which is an effective deterrent at relatively low power levels. By utilising targeting systems and changing beam patterns, the distraction effect can be made more pronounced and be used against multiple targets.
The laser was trialled during night and day in varying weather conditions at the Pershore Trials Range in Worcester. Cameras were placed at the target location to demonstrate the level of beam intensity and divergence produced by the test runs.
When fitted on commercial ships the laser distraction system could utilise its own targeting capability or integrate with existing ship radar and sensor systems to control the direction and power of the beam. It could therefore work semi-autonomously and would also include security features to ensure it could not be used by pirates if they boarded the ship.
While the trials have proved successful Hore admitted there are there are several hurdles to overcome.
'Our next step is to look at things like multiple targets, the remote use of the system and further safety aspects. We are also driven by the interests of the customer - we are taking what we've done out to interested parties and looking at what their specific requirements would be for this sort of capability,' he said.

BAE announce their new laser well done. There are some hurdles to overcome, could one of them be that possibly China or India will sell the pirates lab glasses for protection????
I find it strange that they feel the need to fit a security system to stop the pirates using the laser if they "board the vessel." they dont seem to have much faith in the effectiveness of their own system.
The biggest deterrent this device will have is its cost.
Trying to fight unscrupulous pirates armed with an assortment of weapons with a device that will not cause lasting effects to the assailants is not going to be much of a deterrent. I suspect many of the ships crews would rather have some proper weapons to fire back at the pirates. If however hi-tech is the way, what about a short range electromagnetic pulse weapon focused to a beam say 300m designed to knock out their electronics including their vessels engine management and navigation systems.
This seems like a good idea on first reading but I'm ultimately left wondering how effective it would be. If I have 20 armed men to take an unarmed vessel what's to stop me deploying 5 men to fire on the vessel during the approach with the rest under cover. Then as those firing become dazzled I could transfer fresh men in to take their place. Also, how effective is this against welding glass? So long as I'm facing the right way and can see the source point of the laser to aim at then it doesn't really matter if I can't see the rest of the ship. Finally, if I was on a vessel under attack I'm not so sure that I would prefer weapons being fired erratically in my general direction rather than aimed. I can only presume that, if you will forgive, there's more to this than meets the eye.
How a high pressure water jet with liquid air to pepper the incoming boats with ice ?
Or 30000 psi air jet to blast unwanted guests?
Or generate a lot of air bubbles underneath of the incoming boats? Boats float on water but not in air.
Sounds a bit like an upgraded and polished version of the Channel Light from WWII. A high powered Carbon Arc light with a shutter in front of it. Blinds your opponent nicely. OK, it doesn't work well during the day, but I wonder how well this laser functions when your average pirate has some RayBan's on his face during the day.
Could be a cost saving alternative. A nightvision camera coupled to a PC with image recognision doesn't cost the world. For the rest you'll need a motorized light support (searchlight pedestal with remote control) and a bunch of powerful LED floodlights with bundling lenses. Some electronics to turn them on and of in a fast interval and you're in dazzling business.
A laser is a good idea, but make it so that it blinds and burns the enemy not just disorient him-her. The real deterrent is the generation of casualties that the other pirates can see, causing fear. How many of us would go up against a merchant ship if we know that we will be blind afterwards. These guys make millions, the deterrent has to be strong.
'make it so that it blinds and burns the enemy'
This is banned by Protocol 4 of the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons - which prohibits Laser Blinding Weapons.
Laser Dazzling Weapons are permitted, however.
A difficult issue however, as the difference between dazzling and blinding is just power density, which could be varied...

BISHOP — Rock carvings that graced a sacred American Indian site in California's Sierra Nevada for thousands of years have fallen prey to modern thieves armed with power saws.
At least four petroglyphs — some 2 feet wide and located 15 feet above the ground — were hacked from lava cliffs in the Eastern Sierra, the Los Angeles Times (http://lat.ms/Q3YdXQ ) reported Sunday.
Visitors to the area, known as Volcanic Tableland, discovered the theft and reported it to the federal Bureau of Land Management on Oct. 31.
"This was the worst act of vandalism ever seen" on the 750,000 acres of public land administered by the BLM field office in Bishop, BLM archaeologist Greg Haverstock told the newspaper.
The thieves must have used ladders, electric generators and power saws. In addition to the four carvings that were stolen, one was defaced with deep saw cuts on three sides, and another was removed but apparently broke during the theft and was left propped against a boulder near a visitor parking lot.

300 U.S. Representatives cosponsor Horse Soring Legislation
From: Humane Society Press Release
WASHINGTON (July 10, 2014) —A federal bill to protect Tennessee walking horses from the cruel practice known as "soring" reached a congressional milestone by earning its 300th cosponsor in the U.S. House of Representatives. The Prevent All Soring Tactics (PAST) Act, H.R.1518, now is cosponsored by 114 Republicans and 186 Democrats. The parallel Senate bill, S. 1406, has the bipartisan support of 57 cosponsors (see full cosponsor list).
Keith Dane, vice president of equine protection for The Humane Society of the United States, said: "This critical legislation has more bipartisan support than nearly any other bill in Congress. We strongly urge House leadership to bring this bill to the floor for a vote and pass the PAST Act. The abuse of Tennessee walking horses has gone on long enough, and so has Congress' delay in acting on this bill."
The legislation is endorsed by a broad coalition of major horse industry and animal protection groups.

CDC Gun Violence Study's Findings Are Not What Obama Asked For
On the Second Amendment, Business as usual at the Obama White House
The White House asked the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) "to research the causes and prevention of gun violence." I appears sure that what the CDC found was not what the White House wanted.
The Democrats, and their media allies, obsess over a few shootings while ignoring most others.
Kill innocents in a school or theater in large numbers, and the media fixates on the tragedy while Democrats wail about America's "gun culture."
Shoot a minority who is wearing a hoodie and the left twists the story into something it is not, while the media turn the shooter into a "white" man, though he, too, is a minority, and an Obama supporter with a mixed ethnic background.
It was under these raw and highly charged circumstances that US President Obama asked the CDC last January to perform the study, looking to manufacture a crisis that he could take advantage of.
What that study revealed, though, does not fit in with the media-Obama/Democrat message.
"Almost all national survey estimates indicate that defensive gun uses by victims are at least as common as offensive uses by criminals," says the report, which was completed in June and ignored in the mainstream press.
The study, which was farmed out by the CDC to the Institute of Medicine and National Research Council, also revealed that while there were "about 300,000 violent crimes involving firearms in 2008," the estimated number of defensive uses of guns ranges "from about 500,000 to more than 3 million per year."
Here are a few more relevant points from the study:
"Whether gun restrictions reduce firearm-related violence is an unresolved issue."
"Studies that directly assessed the effect of actual defensive uses of guns have found consistently lower injury rates among gun-using crime victims compared with victims who used other self-protective strategies."
One "body of research" (Kleck and Gertz, 1995) cited by the study found "estimated annual gun use for self-defense" to be "up to 2.5 million incidents, suggesting that self-defense can be an important crime deterrent."
"There is empirical evidence that gun turn-in programs are ineffective."
The Big Q: Have any readers seen this study getting extensive media coverage or the administration plugging its Key findings?
The Big A: of course not, as it does not support their anti-Second Amendment, anti-gun ideology. The Report is therefore ignored as if it never happened.
Business as usual at the Obama White House

Members of the Baldwinsville Women's Garden Club teamed up with Bartlett Tree Experts this past Saturday to clean up Canal Park on Marble Street in the village.
The effort was a combination celebration of Arbor Day and Earth Day with garden club members tending to the gardens as Bartlett volunteers raked, chipped and pruned the park trees.
The park has been the pet project of the women's garden club since 1969.
"The park looks great," said Joy Swenson, a member of the club. "It was quite warm to be working in the sun all morning."
Baldwinsville resident Mike Gorham, who is a certified arborist with Bartlett Tree Experts, his family business, volunteered his time and expertise as a way to give back to his community. Arborists Sean Miller and Tony Iannello (of Bartlett Tree Experts) joined Gorham, along with his wife and their two sons in the clean up effort.

It's not clear where Giambi is going to get at-bats given Colorado's glut of infielders. Todd Helton will be back, and the Rockies also have Ty Wiggington, Jose Lopez and Mike Jacobs as options at first base. He could be just a spare kept waiting in the wings in case Helton breaks down again, but it's tough to see Giambi, a 40-year-old who has made more than $130 million, toiling in the minors.
Giambi played in 87 games for the Rockies last season, batting .244 with 35 RBI and six homers.
Also Monday, the Rockies gave reliever Matt Lindstrom a two-year deal worth $2.8 million next season and $3.6 million for 2012. The club has a $4 million option for 2013, which would be his first year of free agency.
UPDATE: The Post spoke with general manager Dan O'Dowd, who said the Rockies could make a spot for Giambi on the big-league roster by going with four outfielders, which they have the flexibility to do because Wigginton can play in left and right field if needed.

This school does keep kids safe in an area where violence and school trouble is a big problem. However, there are not many extracurricular activities, the teachers have been there so long they seem to have lost there zeal for teaching, and even though I love the thought of a private christian school, they spend a lot of time practicing for sunday's choir, and not enough time studying math or reading.

Your guest Fixer today is Darren Everson: Somehow, the first round of the NBA playoffs has managed to be compelling without being competitive. Seven of the eight series stand at 2-0 (the Detroit Pistons/Philadelphia 76ers matchup being the lone exception), and none of the Game 2s last night were tight.

Great recipe! However, instead of using 1 full cup of sugar over the blueberries, I only used 1/2 cup. I think I might use 1/4 cup next time as it was still quite sweet for me. I loved it!
So I would call this a cobbler. I usually love the biscuit-like topping of a cobbler, but this topping was tough and had little flavor, perhaps because you don't cut in the shortening/butter, an...

I had to use butter instead of shortening and it was ridiculously delicious. Easy, tempting and scrumptious.
This was awesome! Just like we had on honeymoon in Atlantic Canada! I had to use frozen blueberries, as good ones are hard to find this time of year, but it still turned out well!
Delicious! Used 2/3c sugar + 2 tsp lemon juice with my blueberries, and I used buttermilk in place of milk for a extra rich crust. It was fantastic! Baking time was 35 minutes at 350.
I really enjoyed this! I used splenda instead of white sugar and it tasted great!
Baked up just perfect in a little under 40 minutes! Hailing from the Annapolis Valley in NS, this dessert is a must at blueberry season! Served it up with some whipped cream! Wouldn't change ...

I don't look too big for him, do I?
I was showing off pics of me riding my boy Gaylen, and someone said I looked too big for him and that he looked like he was in pain. What do you think?
28 Attachment(s)
It's hard to tell from those photos. He could just be having an appy moment!
How is his bone structure? Back long or short? I'd like to see more muscle and weight on him from what I can see... How long do you ride and what kind of riding? Fitness is key but he looks pretty sturdy and appys are a strong sort, he's handsome!!
Posted via Mobile Device
He was a little pissy in the pics because he wanted to go into the barn like everybody else but I made him wait so I could get some photos. It was my first time riding English.
I do Western pleasure twice a week 30-60 minutes, depending on how much time I have. And I have a 1 hour English lesson once a week (this is my first week, obviously lol).
I think you look fine. And even with the sour puss look on his face, he is really quite handsome! Btw, just because he isn't "smiling" it doesn't mean he's in pain, lol
Posted via Mobile Device
A side on picture or a video would help. He does look a little pissed, but that could be anything, it's not necessarily because of you! :)
My biggest concern would be the saddle. A short backed horse often carries weight better than a horse with a long back, but then there's the saddle problem; you can only fit a short saddle on it's back and that probably wont fit a very plus sized rider's bum. If your bum goes over the cantle, you're off balance and putting bad bad pressure on his back in the wrong places.
I would be more concerned with saddle fit then your weight. In your 1st set of photo's the angle of the tree is too wide and the top of the tree looks to be putting pressure on his withers. That would be painful and the weight would not be evenly distributed.
I'm not being rude but I think half of the problem in those photos are your breasts! You don't look too big but you're rather top heavy (you lucky cow lol)
I don't like the saddle. Do you feel squashed in? Does it fit him well?
He is one cool looking nag. Get some more photos :)

Justin Rose has a four-shot lead at the Arnold Palmer Invitational in Orlando, Fla. He ran off four straight birdies late in his round to help create the cushion.
ORLANDO, Fla. - Justin Rose started out as another guy in Tiger Woods' group Thursday at Bay Hill. He wound up in the lead.
Rose put on a clinic with the putter and ran off four straight birdies late in his round of 7-under-par 65. That gave him a four-shot lead in the Arnold Palmer Invitational among those who played early in a chilly breeze.
Woods had two sloppy bogeys from greenside bunkers and didn't hit it as well as he did when he won Doral two weeks ago. But he made enough key par saves and manhandled the par 5s to scratch out a 69, a reasonable start as he tries to win Bay Hill for the eighth time and return to No. 1 in the world.
John Rollins quietly went about his business for a 68.
Woods was joined at 69 by Ryo Ishikawa of Japan, Nick Watney, Sean O'Hair and Charley Hoffman.
No.1 Serena advances at Key Biscayne
KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. - Playing again at No. 1, Serena Williams routed Flavia Pennetta of Italy 6-1, 6-1 in the second round of the Sony Open.
Williams is playing her first tournament since she regained the No. 1 ranking at the Qatar Open.
Williams trailed 40-0 in the first and fifth games in the first set but went on to hold serve both times.
Williams is trying to break the tournament record of five titles she shares with Steffi Graf.
Sloane Stephens rallied to beat Olga Govortsova of Belarus 0-6, 6-4, 6-4. Stephens is ranked 16th, the highest-ranked American after Williams.
2 FSU sprinters arrested after poolside shooting
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Two of the nation's top sprinters were suspended by Florida State officials, hours after the athletes were arrested following an early morning poolside shooting incident.
A police report stated that Ronell J. Mance, who won a silver medal in the 2012 Olympic Games in the 1,600 relay, and Stephen Newbold, the MVP at the recent ACC indoor track and field championships, were arrested moments after Tallahassee police were alerted that the shots were being fired at an off-campus student apartment complex at about 3:30 a.m. No injuries were reported.
Bledsoe seeks change in wine law in Massachusetts
BOSTON - Former New England Patriots quarterback Drew Bledsoe is urging Massachusetts lawmakers to end a ban on direct wine shipments to consumers.
Bledsoe, who operates a winery in Washington state, said the prohibition on direct wine shipments has prevented him from selling bottles of his wine to fans in the Bay State.
Other news
? Former Miami Dolphins wide receiver Mark Duper was released from jail Thursday, charged after police say he beat his 17-year-old son during a series of fights at their Jacksonville, Fla., home.
Duper, who starred for the Dolphins from 1982 to 1992, spent a night in jail after his arrest Wednesday on one count of felony child abuse. He was released after posting a $5,000 bail, police said. Authorities say Duper attacked his son, Marcus, three times and knocked him out twice.
? Chicago Bears fullback Evan Rodriguez faces charges after Miami Beach police say he refused to cooperate with officers when a car he was riding in crashed.
Jail records show Rodriguez, 24, was arrested early Thursday. He was booked into the Miami-Dade County Jail on charges of disorderly intoxication and resisting an officer at 5:32 a.m. but released several hours later on $1,500 bail.

The Proposed Contagion Effect of Hopeful Leaders on the Resiliency of Employees and Organizations
Norman, Steve, Luthans, Brett, Luthans, Kyle, Journal of Leadership & Organizational Studies
Hope has often been misunderstood and underestimated as a potentially powerful human capacity. Traditionally, hope has too often been dismissed as a whimsical and abstract concept that could not be well defined, let alone measured, developed, and applied to the workplace. However, the recent emergence of positive psychology and positive organizational behavior has now clearly shown that hope is a strength that has many important implications for today's embattled organizations--both in terms of effective leadership and employee retention and performance. The purpose of this article is to not only give the background of the positive approach and define hope as an important strength in positive organizational behavior and authentic leadership, but to also propose that hopeful leaders can have a contagion effect on the resiliency of employees and organizations undergoing traumatic change.
Recently there has been considerable focus on the negative events swirling around the business world. Although the stock market has held fairly well, there is still much skepticism, suspicion, and downright negativity on the part of employees, customers and the general public concerning today's business organizations. The Enron's and Worldcom's are thought to be just the tip of the iceberg of the moral decay of today's organizations. In addition, companies are still downsizing or "right sizing" at alarming rates. What do these events do to the hope of today's organizational leaders and their associates? How can leaders and their associates stay hopeful where trust is tested to ever higher limits? Can leaders maintain their hope and transfer that hope to their people through some type of contagion effect? If so, what is the benefit of such hope? Can organizational leaders develop hope within themselves and their associates and as a result enhance overall organizational resiliency?
This paper attempts to answer these questions by first providing a theoretical grounding from positive psychology, positive organizational behavior, and authentic leadership, then carefully define both hope and resiliency within this positive theoretical framework, and finally propose that hope can have a contagion effect through organizational leaders to associates and in turn result in resiliency at the employee and overall organizational levels. Figure 1 shows our proposed contagion model for resiliency and our seven propositions. Practical implications and future research needs conclude the article.
In these turbulent times, resiliency at the employee and organization levels has taken on urgent importance. Resiliency as a psychological and organizational strength is receiving increased attention by both organizational behavior scholars and professional managers. Both have indicated there may be a resilience gap. That is, as the world around us changes more quickly then ever before, employees, leaders, and overall organizations are struggling to keep up and maintain their resilience. This is not only the case with companies that have been on the fringes of success, but it is also occurring with companies that have been successful over the years such as Disney, Motorola, and Ford to name but a few of the most visible. In addition, large organizations that we might have once thought of as immune to such forces are failing at accelerative rates. We all know that of the 100 largest firms a century ago only a couple are left, but as Hamel and Valikangas (2003) recently pointed out, of the 20 largest U.S. bankruptcies in the past 20 years, half of these have occurred in the past two years alone.
These are very telling statistics that highlight the severe challenges facing today's organizational leaders, and the very survival of organizations. To weather this "perfect storm" resiliency is needed at all levels--individual employees, leaders themselves, and overall organizations (Youssef & Luthans, 2003). …

Not very soundproof. Rooms definitely need to be updated.
Quiet,clean motel,nice shower
No Restaurants near,no pool
Stayed at this hotel for a music festival right next door in Heritage Park. Room was very clean, staff was very friendly and helpful. Had no problem getting extra towels, etc. Air conditioning worked great and was able to keep the room exceptionally cool.
Walls were a little thin, could hear anyone walking out in the hall, water running next door, etc. Breakfast was a little skimpy, but adequate. Would have liked to see some fresh fruit, maybe some bagels.
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
