PHP-DI in Slim 3
Slim 3 is a micro-framework for web applications and APIs. This framework has been one of the first to integrate container-interop in its core. That means that Slim can work with any container out of the box.
Replacing Slim's default container with PHP-DI is thus easy. However this bridge provides several additional features on top of that:
- controllers as services, allowing dependency injection in controllers
- intelligent parameter injections in controller
Controllers as services
While your controllers can be simple closures, you can also write them as classes and have PHP-DI instantiate them only when they are called:
class UserController
private $userRepository;
public function __construct(UserRepository $userRepository)
$this->userRepository = $userRepository;
public function delete($request, $response)
$response->getBody()->write('User deleted');
return $response;
$app->delete('/user/{id}', ['UserController', 'delete']);
Dependencies can then be injected in your controller using autowiring, PHP-DI config files or even annotations.
Controller parameters
By default, Slim controllers have a strict signature:
$request, $response, $args. The PHP-DI bridge offers a more flexible and developer friendly alternative.
Controller parameters can be any of these things:
- the request or response (parameters must be named
- route placeholders
- request attributes
- services (injected by type-hint)
You can mix all these types of parameters together too. They will be matched by priority in the order of the list above.
Request or response injection
You can inject the request or response in the controller parameters by name:
$app->get('/', function (ResponseInterface $response, ServerRequestInterface $request) {
// ...
As you can see, the order of the parameters doesn't matter. That allows to skip injecting the
$request if it's not needed for example.
Route placeholder injection
$app->get('/hello/{name}', function ($name, ResponseInterface $response) {
$response->getBody()->write('Hello ' . $name);
return $response;
As you can see above, the route's URL contains a
name placeholder. By simply adding a parameter with the same name to the controller, PHP-DI will directly inject it.
Request attribute injection
$app->add(function ($request, $response, $next) {
$request = $request->withAttribute('name', 'Bob');
return $next($request, $response);
$app->get('/', function ($name, ResponseInterface $response) {
$response->getBody()->write('Hello ' . $name);
return $response;
As you can see above, a middleware sets a
name attribute. By simply adding a parameter with the same name to the controller, PHP-DI will directly inject it.
Service injection
To inject services into your controllers, you can write them as classes. But if you want to write a micro-application using closures, you don't have to give up dependency injection either.
You can inject services by type-hinting them:
$app->get('/', function (ResponseInterface $response, Twig $twig) {
return $twig->render($response, 'home.twig');
Note: you can only inject services that you can type-hint and that PHP-DI can provide. Type-hint injection is simple, it simply injects the result of
$container->get(/* the type-hinted class */).
composer require php-di/slim-bridge
Instead of using
Slim\App, simply use
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
$app = new \DI\Bridge\Slim\App;
You can then use the application just like a classic Slim application:
use Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface as Request;
use Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface as Response;
$app->get('/hello/{name}', function (Request $request, Response $response) {
return $response;
You may notice the
DI\Bridge\Slim\App class is very simple. You can very well create the container yourself and pass it to the constructor of
Slim\App. Just don't forget to register the
src/config.php file in the container.
Configuring PHP-DI
If you want to configure PHP-DI, simply extend the
DI\Bridge\Slim\App class and override the
configureContainer() method:
class MyApp extends \DI\Bridge\Slim\App
protected function configureContainer(ContainerBuilder $builder)
$builder->addDefinitions(__DIR__ . 'my-config-file.php');
$app = new MyApp;
Or if you are using PHP 7 you can use anonymous classes:
$app = new class() extends \DI\Bridge\Slim\App {
protected function configureContainer(ContainerBuilder $builder)
$builder->addDefinitions(__DIR__ . 'my-config-file.php');
Have a look at configuring PHP-DI for more details.
Configuring Slim
// my-config-file.php
return [
'settings.responseChunkSize' => 4096,
'settings.outputBuffering' => 'append',
'settings.determineRouteBeforeAppMiddleware' => false,
'settings.displayErrorDetails' => false,
// ...
In order to get you started easily, here is how you can install the Twig extension for Slim:
install the Twig-View package:
composer require slim/twig-view
configure the
Twigclass in PHP-DI (taken from the package's documentation):
class MyApp extends \DI\Bridge\Slim\App { protected function configureContainer(ContainerBuilder $builder) { $definitions = [ \Slim\Views\Twig::class => function (ContainerInterface $c) { $twig = new \Slim\Views\Twig('path/to/templates', [ 'cache' => 'path/to/cache' ]); $twig->addExtension(new \Slim\Views\TwigExtension( $c->get('router'), $c->get('request')->getUri() )); return $twig; }, ]; $builder->addDefinitions($definitions); } }
You can now inject the service in your controllers and render templates:
$app->get('/', function ($response, Twig $twig) {
return $twig->render($response, 'home.twig');

Syracuse is located in the heart of the state of New York. Under Chief Hiawatha, it was once considered the capital of the powerful Iroquois confederacy. Also known as the "Crossroads of New York State," the city was strategically founded as a central port for transportation. Syracuse is also known as a strong contender among other major cities for its exceptional education, cultural and recreational opportunities. In the 1960s, the downtown area was transformed into a lively commercial and residential center thanks to several large urban renewal programs. Syracuse is also recognized by several large magazine publications as one of the "Greenest Cities" in America.
Bordering Onondaga Lake, Syracuse lies on what the Iroquois claimed to be the most beautiful land ever created when the Great Spirit left his handprint. That area is now known as the Finger Lakes. The city's name is derived from a city on the eastern coast of Sicily, called Siracusa.

Safety Assessment of Aircraft Systems

Latest News
By Roger Rapoport
PARIS - After six turbulent years the Air France 447 criminal investigation has moved to a new "mass disaster" court division with a long name, Pôle Santé Publique et Accidents Collectifs du Tribunal de Grande Instance de Paris"
Two well qualified judges, Nicolas Aubertin and Emmanuelle Robinson, may order further investigation of the Airbus 330 crash. Alternatively they could rule that a detailed 700 page technical report filed with Investigative Magistrate Sophie Zimmerman in 2012 is sufficient to recommend manslaughter prosecution of Airbus and/or Air France.
The new investigative judges could also rule that there are insufficient charges to prosecute the case in a French criminal court.
Parties to the case, including families of the 228 victims, Airbus, Air France and the pilots' union, SNPL, are all expected to file new motions shortly in the mass disaster court.
The original 2012 technical investigation report on the June 1, 2009 Airbus 330 crash was based on thousands of pages of documents and interviews in Europe, Africa and South America. It paralleled a thorough French government Bureau d'Enquêtes et d'Analyses Pour la Sécurité de l'Aviation Civile (BEA) analysis.
The 2012 BEA report attributed the worst crash in Air France history to multiple causes including incorrect flight director indications, loss of angle of attack protection and display to pilots, lack of training on how to handle abnormal air speed indication, absence of any visual information to confirm approach to stall after the loss of limit speeds, erroneous airspeed messages from the electronic centralized aircraft monitor (ECAM) and an obsolete high altitude stall recovery procedure.
Some recommendations based on the BEA's analysis have been implemented. Many others, such as airline adoption of standby Angle of Attack indicators found on most military aircraft around the world, have languished.
After the first investigation by court appointed experts, Airbus sought a rebuttal called a "Contre-Expertise" with a new team of experts including just one French aviator. Lawyers representing Air France and the Association of Families of Victims of Flight 447 wanted to appoint another expert of their choosing from a court approved list.
Their request was rejected by investigative magistrate Zimmerman. She ruled that adding one more expert would slow down the "urgent" case and lead to further delays triggered by translating proceedings into all languages spoken by victims' families residing in 32 countries from China to Brazil.
After the technical experts filed their "Contre-Expertise" highly favorable to Airbus in 2014, the Family Association and Air France moved to overturn it. They argued that exclusion of airline and family chosen experts from a special Airbus 330 check ride attempting to simulate Flight 447 violated French criminal code.
The plaintiffs argued that their experts were entitled to ride along on the plane with the "Contre-Expertise" team. In addition the Family Association sought additional technical investigations on unanswered questions about the Airbus's performance after certain anti-stall protections were lost.
This request and a motion to dismiss the "Contre-Expertise" was turned down in early 2015 by Zimmerman's successor, Investigative Magistrate Sabine Kheris. Air France and the Family Association, which includes members currently suing the airline for damages, appealed.
The 42 page appellate court decision released last week overruled Kheris's order on the "Contre-Expertise." The new decision held that Judge Zimmerman violated the right of Air France and the Family Association to include an expert of their choosing.
In addition to nullifying the "Contre-Expertise," the ruling struck from court records all evidence, testimony and exhibits gathered from the date of the overruled order. All this research is inadmissible in further proceedings. Airbus lawyers, highly critical of this decision, have said they may appeal. The Family Association applauded the decision.
"We are pleased that the court has annulled the 'Contre-Expertise" because it "did not comply with legal requirements," said Danièle Lamy president of Entraide et Solidarité AF447. "The families expect a fair trial that establishes responsibility and sanctions the perpetrators without delay."
The Family Association is expected to ask the new judges to close the investigation, arguing that the original 700 page technical report adequately covers the matter. If Robinson and Aubertin agree, they could move the case to a trial court
Airbus can also move for a new "Contre-Expertise" in the mass disaster court. Lawyers for the Family Association would oppose this action.
If a move for a new "Contre-Expertise" is rejected, Airbus could appeal. If their attorneys prevail, a new team of experts might include investigators selected by opposing parties. As one of the attorneys representing victim's families explains:
"Given the appellate court's decision, the Family Association and Air France would be expected to select their own experts from a court approved list to join the "Contre-Expertise" team. That means we would become a party to this investigation with all the rights enjoyed by Airbus. We'd also be able to include an expert of our choosing on any check rides or test flights. In addition we could potentially challenge the manufacturer on every point."
Anticipating this possibility, the family association's technical expert, former Airbus 320 captain and union leader Gerard Arnoux, has already prepared a five page list of new questions for the mass disaster court and future experts. Some of these key issues have not been previously explored by the BEA or previous court investigators.
It's possible that all of these new issues could become part of a second "Contre-Expertise". This would open the door to new testimony, exhibits and research. Portions of this review would challenge Airbus's position that technical difficulties outlined by the BEA report did not contribute to the crash.
"If a new 'Contre-Expertise' goes forward", explains the plantiff's attorney, "we will have the opportunity to includeour expert,, submit new facts, request additional research and ask any questions we want. None of this happened on the first rejected 'Contre-Expertise.' Only Airbus was a party to that investigation."
Should judges Robinson and Aubertin reject a new "Contre-Expertise" and order the case to trial, Airbus would not have the right of appeal. If the judges move to dismiss the entire case, the Family Association can appeal.

Air Force researchers hope to develop a system that can automatically detect hypoxia in pilots. Photo by Angelo Giampiccolo/Shutterstock
DAYTON, Ohio, Oct. 28 (UPI) -- Researchers with the U.S. Air Force may have found a way to detect hypoxia in pilots in real-time during flights by measuring volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, in their breath, according to a new study.
Hypoxia is a deficiency of oxygen reaching the tissues. A sudden loss of cabin pressure, speeding up the lack of oxygen flowing through the body, could result in a pilot losing consciousness before being able to take actions in the cockpit for both passengers and to keep the plane in the air.
Researchers at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base think an automatic system may be able to detect hypoxia based on pilot's breath, allowing either the pilot or systems on the plane to take action.
"Despite the myriad of advances in aerospace technology, many modern, high-performance aircraft still rely on the pilot to recognize the symptoms of hypoxia in order to initiate appropriate procedures in the event of a malfunction," said Dr. Claude Grigsby, a technical advisor in the Human Signatures Branch in the 711th Human Performance Wing, in a press release. "This research provides the basis for both the utility of exhaled breath monitoring to monitor for hypoxia as well as targets for future solid state senor development."
The researchers worked with eight pilots, simulating a "fairly standard" hypoxic event while in flight. The volunteer participants were exposed to five minutes of reduced oxygen levels to simulate higher altitudes, and then were given five minutes of oxygen "recovery," a typical in-flight response to the condition.
For each of the participants, VOC levels were measured before and after the simulated hypoxia and recovery, as well as every minute during the simulations. Although the results showed VOC levels drop after a hypoxic event, researchers are unsure how this works.
"We are working to better understand hypoxic episodes mechanistically to validate our findings and to improve our non-invasive chemical sensing platforms," said Dr. Sean Harshman, a research scientist in the 711th Human Performance Wing at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. "Our future and ongoing studies seek to confirm the data presented in this manuscript, develop a flight worthy chemical sensor, and begin further mechanistic studies of respiratory hypoxia."
The study is published in the Journal of Breath Research, see http://www.upi.com/Health_News/2015/10/28/Scientests-develop-quick-way-for-pilots-to-detect-hypoxia-symptoms/3391446040788/
The technology exists to physically take command away from a pilot to save an aircraft from imminent collision with the ground and is in operation with the U.S. Air Force.
Developed by NASA, the Air Force and Lockheed Martin, the Automatic Ground Collision Avoidance System (Auto-GCAS), entered service in September 2014 and is already credited with saving at least two F-16s and their crews. A similar automated GCAS system has also been developed by Saab for the JAS-39 Gripen fighter.
The system works by constantly comparing the aircraft's trajectory with that of a terrain profile generated from an onboard digital terrain database (DTED). If the system detects a threat an evasion command is issued and, if no action is immediately taken by the pilot, the system automatically assumes control. As soon as the aircraft is on a safe trajectory control is returned to the pilot.
While not considered 'bullet-proof', the system is provided as a last resort in case of spatial disorientation, loss of situational awareness, gravity-induced loss of consciousness, and gear-up landings.
In military applications pilots have the option to disarm the system, though for other uses it is conceivable a system that cannot be disabled could be considered.
NASA is working to expand the use of Auto-GCAS to lower-performance general aviation aircraft and unmanned air systems, and has demonstrated its effective use in a UAV equipped with a smartphone in which detailed terrain data for the whole world was compressed into a single sim card.
The Air Force is also developing a related system to automatically prevent air collisions (Auto-ACAS) which will ultimately be combined with Auto-GCAS to provide a fully integrated collision avoidance system.
NASA says the payoff from implementing this technology, designed to operate with only minimal aircraft modifications, could result in billions of dollars and hundreds of lives and aircraft being saved.

U.S. air-safety regulators and aviation industry officials continue to clash over reducing fuel-tank explosion risks on some widely used cargo jets, seven years after such federal fixes were mandated for some 3,000 Boeing and Airbus passenger planes.
See http://www.wsj.com/articles/faa-and-industry-continue-to-grapple-with-fuel-tank-fixes-for-some-cargo-jets-1424575690

Civil aviation authorities must adapt to the latest SMS practices embraced by aviation service providers.
The worldwide implementation of safety management systems (SMSs) by aviation service providers signals a shift from traditional reactive and compliance-based oversight to a new model that includes proactive and performance-based tools and methods. Such a shift, however, introduces a parallel need for civil aviation authorities (CAAs) to perform their safety oversight functions in a similar way. This means accepting performance-based oversight (PBO) as the upcoming challenge in enforcing safety regulations.
See http://flightsafety.org/aerosafety-world-magazine/november-2014/performance-based-oversight
FAA has issued a final rule requiring all US commercial airlines to establish a safety management system (SMS), which uses data analysis to identify safety risks, by 2018.
Both passenger and cargo airlines are required to submit an SMS implementation plan to FAA within six months. Each airline will be required to have an "accountable executive" to oversee its SMS. FAA said each carrier will be allowed "to design an SMS to match the size, complexity and business model of its organization," adding, "An SMS does not take the place of regular FAA oversight, inspection and audits to ensure compliance with regulations."
At a press conference Wednesday in Washington DC at US Department of Transportation (DOT) headquarters, US transportation secretary Anthony Foxx described a SMS as "predictive safety management" that uses "technology, data, analytics" to identify potential hazards. Airlines for America (A4A) president and CEO Nicholas Calio appeared at the press conference alongside Foxx and FAA administrator Michael Huerta to give the industry's endorsement of the rule, saying airlines had already been taking steps to implement SMSs and share safety data with each other.
"A4A members are fierce competitors, except when it comes to safety," Calio said. "We've long endorsed a risk-based approach to both safety and security." He added that "data helps drive better decision making" and "we think [a SMS is] a very good program."
Huerta said, "The carriers are embracing this approach." He added, "This is an incredibly safe industry, but this is a best practice to make it safer."
Huerta said the sharing and analysis of routine data can identify "patterns" that wouldn't be seen otherwise. "Let's say we are seeing, at a particular airport, a very small number of an activity, such as a rejected takeoff," he explained. "If we start to see this across carriers and the airport is the commonality, do we have an operational procedure that needs to change? Without the SMS, the data would be fragmented" and the pattern could go unnoticed.
Huerta said SMSs are increasingly being used by airlines and aviation authorities around the world. "This has been adopted as a best practice through the ICAO framework," he said. "This specific [FAA] rule is being applied to carriers under FAA jurisdiction, but [the SMS approach] is being widely deployed around the world."

(Inside Science) – The increasing amount of automation in airliners' cockpits has simplified the job of piloting. Automatic systems are particularly desirable during long cruise phases at steady speeds and altitudes.
But they may have a dark side. A new study indicates that pilots who rely too much on cockpit automation can lose the critical thinking skills that make them able to adapt to unexpected situations.
"Automation has created new opportunities for mistakes to be made, by pilots who don't understand what the machine is doing and are not necessarily paying attention," said Stephen Casner, a research psychologist at NASA's Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California, who headed the project.
The study differentiates between the manual skills that pilots use to operate airplanes' controls and cognitive abilities that they need for such tasks as troubleshooting and maintaining awareness of their planes' position.
"Hand-eye skills are implicit skills that we learn by simply doing them over and over – the no-brainers like tying shoes or riding a bike; once you learn them well they tend to stick around," Casner said. "Cognitive skill requires you to stop and think about the situation and your prior experiences; it's more cerebral."
Casner's team reports its conclusion in the journal Human Factors.
To explore the difficulty, Casner's team recruited 16 airline pilots to fly routine and non-routine flights in a Boeing 747-400 simulator. During their "flights," testers seated behind them varied the level of automation in the cockpit, introduced failures into the aircraft systems, and graded their performances. And every two minutes the testers asked the pilots what they were thinking about. Pilots responded by indicating that their thoughts did or did not involve the task at hand.
Changes in the level of automation included turning off the autopilot, which forced the pilots to obey the computer's instructions; turning off the flight director, leaving pilots to determine their directions from readings on their instruments; and shutting off everything.
That last action required flight crews to keep in their heads the picture of where they were, where they were going, and where they should be going.
"You have to build that picture, rely on it, and update it," Casner said. "That's flat-out intellectual work. That's where we saw more significant problems that worried us and need to be addressed."
"While pilots' instrument scanning and aircraft control skills are reasonably well retained when automation is used, the retention of cognitive skills needed for manual flying may depend on the degree to which pilots remain actively engaged in supervising the automation," the team states in its paper.
"When things go to plan, pilots get invited into the lull – thinking about other things, staring at a piece of automation that's doing just fine," Casner explained. "So what happens when a situation arises that the automation cannot deal with? Computers may have some sort of plan that the pilot may not fully understand. The more capable the automation gets, the worse the problem gets, as the pilot is pushed farther and farther away from it."
"The study and conclusion make sense," said John Hansman, director of the MIT International Center for Air Transportation.
Modern airliner cockpits bristle with automation.
"We have support in planning the flight, an autopilot system to follow the route, systems that warn us about any kind of component failures, traffic, terrain, and support for pretty much everything there is," Casner said.
In theory, an airplane can fly itself from one airport to another. But because of the volume of flights around typical airports, the original flight plan must change as the plane nears its destination. That's when pilots need to understand what the automated system is doing.
"We have this odd paradox that this system, designed to make it easier for us, bizarrely makes it harder, as we program and reprogram the computer," Casner said.
Pilots' reactions to the failures that the testers introduced during the study showed that pattern.
"We really just did pretty simple failures, such as air speed, altimeter, and heading indicator. We wanted to look at their process – how they reacted to something that didn't look right," Casner said. "Pilots had pretty good awareness of problems, but their [troubleshooting] process was not so good. We're not really teaching how to plan for investigating and troubleshooting."
Hansman applauded the study. "Its quality is good for this type of operational human-in-the-loop experiment," he said. "It is very expensive and difficult to run high-fidelity simulator studies, so it is common to have to use a relatively small study pool. The use of 16 pilots in this group is reasonable."
To overcome the erosion of cognitive skills, Casner's team recommends additional practice, during actual flights or on simulators. Another possibility is teaching active monitoring of cockpit automation during long flights. Indeed, some airlines now encourage their pilots to turn off the autopilot and other automation systems occasionally.
"To keep these reasoning, thinking, and troubleshooting skills, we have to practice them," Casner said. "It's use it or lose it."
Meanwhile, his team is extending its studies from air to land. "We're now looking into automobile driving as cars get more automated," he said.
Airlines have been ordered to replace or modify the cockpit display units fitted to hundreds of Boeing jets.
The US air safety regulator said that tests had indicated that mobile phone and computer signals could cause the screens to go blank.

The UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has launched a series of template risk models, highlighting a number of specific safety scenarios, which air navigation service providers can use as part of their own safety management systems (SMS).
The models will allow organisations to assess their current risk controls and evaluate their exposure to each particular scenario

'Specific risk and standardised criteria for conducting aeroplane-level safety assessments of critical systems'
This Notice of Proposed Amendment (NPA) addresses a safety issue, as well as a regulatory coordination issue related to safety assessment of critical systems at aircraft level.
The specific objectives are to maintain high safety and regulatory harmonisation through:
definition of a standardised criterion for conducting aeroplane-level safety assessment of specific risks that encompasses all critical aeroplane systems on large aeroplanes (i.e. in particular update AMC to CS 25.1309), based on the results of the ARAC ASAWG;
amendment of AMC 25.1309 to take into account of the latest updates of industry documents, such as ED79A/ARP4754A; and
updating CS 25.671 on safety assessment of flight control systems, based on the results of the ARAC FCHWG.
In general terms, the approach proposed in the present NPA is based on the results of the FCHWG (Flight Controls Harmonisation Working Group) on the subsequent results of the ASAWG (Airplane-level Safety Analysis Working Group) report (together with the dissenting opinions expressed) to which the Agency and the FAA participated.
Through this NPA the Agency is seeking to acquire the views of the stakeholders on the proposed amendments to CS-25 (Book 1 and Book 2), before amending Decision No 2003/02/RM of the Executive Director of the European Aviation Safety Agency of 17 October 2003 on certification specifications, including acceptable means of compliance, for large aeroplanes ('CS-25').
he International Civil Aviation Organization's (ICAO) new Annex 19, Safety Management Systems (SMS) becomes applicable in mid-November, and regulators such as the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) already have clarified that SMS implementation will be required in Europe over the next few years. Risk-management policy and procedures of an SMS allow a structured way of identifying and handling all risks, particularly those that are unacceptable under all circumstances.
Risk management as a business practice distinguishes between all risks and those that can be kept under control by the organization, and only the mitigation of the latter is worth expending significant resources. Risk management, with cost-benefit analyses, allows for a measurement of the returns on investment from alternative control and mitigation options and so allows for efficient allocation of resources.

The FAA today announced that it is working with the Academy for Model Aeronautics (AMA), the largest organization for model aircraft enthusiasts in the U.S., to create safety guidelines for model aircraft and drones.
Many model aircraft hobbyists already belong to the AMA or at least know about its guidelines (don't fly higher than 400 feet, don't fly within three miles of an airport, etc.). Recently, however, the advent of relatively affordable, easy-to-fly model aircraft – GPS-enabled quadcopters that can easily fly up to a thousand feet and even autonomous drones — has added a large number of new users. In addition, the FAA notes, some high-end model aircraft can now have wingspans over 20 feet and have multiple jet engines.
Given that the FAA has started its work on integrating commercial drones into the national airspace system, working with enthusiasts to create safety guidelines for how they can safely fly is a sensible move. Many of the potential commercial drones, after all, are essentially the same machines that today's hobbyists play with.
As part of the agreement between the FAA and AMA, the AMA will "establish and maintain a comprehensive safety program for its members, including guidelines for emerging technologies such as model UAS."
While the FAA doesn't have authority to regulate model aircraft, it's clearly in the best interest for both organizations to work closely together. The AMA knows that it just takes somebody with a ready-to-fly drone who flies too close to an airport and hits a plane, or somebody who crashes a quadcopter into a group of people and hurts somebody to get the government to mandate regulations. Part of the AMA's mission is to work with the government to promote its members' mission. The organization says it has over 150,000 members.
According to Jim Williams, the head of the FAA's UAS Integration Office, "Safe model UAS operations will help to ensure that this industry continues to grow and bring the joy of recreational or hobby flying to more people than ever before."

A tropical carnivorous plant – the pitcher plant – which traps its prey inside its body with a virtually frictionless surface is inspiring a new generation of coatings capable of repelling liquids including blood, oil, honey and even ice on aircraft.
Nature is well-known for its ability to repel liquids with lotus leaves, rice leaves, butterfly wings, mosquito compound eyes, cicada wings, red rose petals, gecko feet, desert beetles, and spider silk all having the ability to remain dry.
However, the pitcher plant or Nepenthes, which is found in countries including Australia, Malaysia and Madagascar, has a special adaptation which creates a near frictionless surface with unique self-healing properties.
The ability to repel liquids and contaminants has important applications to industry and everyday life. Coatings are needed to help stop the formation of life-threatening bacteria on medical instruments, ice build-up on aircraft, fouling on ship hulls, anti-corrosion and the efficient transportation of products like crude oil by pipeline.
The pitcher plant is different to some other nature-inspired adaptations by 'locking-in' a lubricant layer onto the surface of its skin which cannot be penetrated by another liquid and is more damage tolerant. The result is also fatal to the plant's prey – insects and small frogs – which are unable to climb out of its smooth, deep, tubular-shaped body.
A team at Harvard University have now been able to mimic the pitcher plant's inner skin design to produce a transparent coating capable of being economically applied to almost any object – large or small.
The multi-stage coating process involves attaching a thin, but rough layer of porous silica particles which are used to lock-in a lubricating layer onto the surface to be protected. Its diverse applications could include acting as an anti-graffiti coating on walls or on medical implants to aid blood flow.
This latest development in coating technology reached the finals of this year's Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) Awards in the UK, which recognises excellence and innovation in the chemical and process industries worldwide.
IChemE's chief executive, Dr David Brown, said: "Some existing coatings have limitations including contamination and degradation by contaminants, lack of self-healing capabilities and damage tolerance.
"By mimicking the pitcher plants skin structure, Harvard University's new coating self-heals almost instantly, even if scraped with a knife or blade. It is capable of operating in extreme temperatures and high pressure, and can be applied to surfaces ranging from metals and semiconductors, to paper and cotton fabric.
"It is a very clever solution by the team at Harvard University and another excellent example of how chemical engineering is being used to improve the features and performance of products we need and rely upon every day."

Airline crew members will be shielded from reprisals when they report incidents to air safety authorities, according to new legislation agreed by all EU institutions yesterday (17 December).
See http://www.euractiv.com/transport/eu-agrees-improved-air-safety-pr-news-532414
The European Parliament's transport committee endorsed a compromise text yesterday (17 December), negotiated with EU member states earlier in December, on new EU rules aimed at strengthening air safety and accident prevention, also known as the regulation on "occurrence reporting".
"The agreement reached between the Parliament and the Council is a true progress for air safety in Europe," said centre-right MEP Christine de Veyrac (European People's Party, France), the rapporteur on the dossier. "The negotiations were difficult but it was essential to ensure that the strengthening of air safety is above any other consideration," she said.
The inter-institutional compromise tackles both technical issues and what is known as the "Just culture" dimension, "the core objective" of the proposal, which lays more solid ground for protection of employees and crew members who report safety incidents.
The agreement will introduce an appeal mechanism for employees who find themselves punished in some way for reporting an incident related to air safety as well as penal protection for the whistleblower in all 28 EU member states.
The regulation also foresees a mandatory closed list of examples of incidents that must be reported if they occur, while safeguarding the possibility for a voluntary based mechanism of reporting incidents not included in the list. In both cases, the reported problems will have to be relayed to the competent national authorities, the airline company, the manufacturer of the plane or the European Air Safety Authority (EASA) depending on the nature of the problem.
More importantly, the text will make it possible for whistleblowers in countries where legal protection is lower or people who are employed in small airlines where fear of self-incrimination tends to be greater, to directly notify the problems to the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) if they are afraid of repercussions at home.
As an example, in France there are 42,000 reported incidents per year, while in Slovenia the number drops to two a year, a difference which is "obviously due to fear of repercussions and self-incrimination."
The rapporteur hailed the outcome of the negotiation, saying that "the person that reports an incident to safety authorities only to strengthen air security will no longer have to fear that their reporting can be sanctioned by the hierarchy or the justice."
The other novelty concerns the exchange of information between member states.
So far, if a company faced a problem in the airspace of a foreign country, the host country was not informed about the details of the incident. Under the new rules, member states will be obliged to notify each other about all the details surrounding the problem (the nature of the incident, plane type, etc.). However, all elements that could lead to the identification of the company facing the incident will be protected (time, flight origin, company name, etc).
The proposal of the European Commission for a regulation on occurrence reporting was presented a year ago. EU transport ministers had initially watered the text down, notably the confidential "just culture" environment provisions.
However, during subsequent trilateral talks between the European Commission, Council and Parliament, MEPs succeeded in imposing their views, notably due to the "weakness of the Lithuanian presidency", a Parliament source told EurActiv.
"The Lithuanian presidency didn't deliver anything on transport policy, this is the only agreement they reached, all the rest is left to the Greeks. So the Parliament took advantage of the presidency's weakness in the negotiations, we managed to get a quick agreement and to impose everything we wanted," the source explained.
The three institutions started negotiations on the occurrence reporting regulation on 30 September and concluded them on 25 November this year.
European pilots and air traffic controllers welcome the agreement reached by EU institutions over the new Occurrence Reporting Regulation.
"As safety professionals we know that a genuine, far-reaching Just Culture environment, based on trust, is a key ingredient for improving aviation safety. This regulation sets the scene for a pro-active approach to prevent air accidents and loss of life in Europe," said Nico Voorbach, the President of the European Cockpit Association.
"We welcome the deal struck by the European Parliament and the Member States on this important piece of legislation. This regulation will provide the tools for controllers and pilots to report - in line with our professional commitment to safety - honest mistakes or mishaps in an open, "no-blame" environment. It is now crucial to work together and put these new rules into practice at the national and organisational levels," said Alexis Brathwaite, the president of the International Federation of Air Traffic Controlers' Association (IFATA).
For the first time in 30 years, ICAO are set to release a new Annex - Annex 19 - that pulls together current safety management practices and future expectations for facilitating safety risks that exist in our lands and skies.

Flight safety experts studying recent high-profile plane crashes found sudden autopilot disconnection to be a design flaw that creates unnecessary emergencies by surprising pilots during critical, high-workload episodes.
"The sudden disengagement of autopilot is analogous to a pilot suddenly throwing up his or her hands and blurting to the copilot, 'Your Plane!'" says Eric E. Geiselman, lead author of a recently published two-article Ergonomics in Design series, "Flight Deck Automation: Invaluable Collaborator or Insidious Enabler" (July issue) and "A Call for Context-Aware Logic to Improve Safety" (October issue).
Eric E. Geiselman, along with coauthors Christopher M. Johnson, David R. Buck, and Timothy Patrick, have combined expertise as pilots, crew resource management instructors, and human factors researchers. They studied the 2009 Colgan Air crash in Buffalo, New York, and the 2009 Air France crash off the coast of Brazil with a focus on how humans and machines can best communicate on the flight deck.
The authors recommend that autopilot systems transfer controls following the same protocols crew members use -- with acknowledgment by the receiving pilot that he or she has assumed control. FAA regulations require a visual and auditory warning to occur following autopilot shutoff, but Geiselman et al. emphasize that such warning should occur before -- not after -- autopilot is disengaged.
Geiselman et al. report on many other design-level safety issues in these articles and offer prototypes featuring solutions that can be affordably implemented with available technology. They believe better design of automation technology on planes can prevent future accidents and that more pilot training shouldn't be the only solution pursued by the industry.
The NBC Bay Area Investigative Unit explores how automation can sometimes lead pilots into a "trap," where they can be misled into thinking the airplane will do one thing, but because of the specific mode of automation, it doesn't do what pilots expect.
Veteran pilots say the recent crash of Asiana Flight 214 might have involved pilots falling victim to what insiders call Flight Level Change Trap.
The trap that can catch even long-time pilots by surprise if it's not closely monitored on an airplane's final approach raises the question: Is automation meant to improve safety in the cockpit instead sometimes putting safety at risk?
Pilots who have flown using FLCH settings on an airplane's auto-pilot system say the "trap" can mislead them into thinking the plane's auto-throttle is giving power to a plane's engines, when actually, the engines are idle. If the wrong settings are entered into a plane's computer, the FLCH trap can also make it impossible to increase speed when a pilot needs it.
NBC Bay Area's Investigative Unit has been examining the growing concern of what one researcher calls "Automation Addiction" in the aviation community: pilots over-relying on auto-pilot, auto-throttle and other forms of automation in the cockpit.
NTSB chairman Deborah Hersman has publicly acknowledged that investigators are exploring the relationship between automation and the pilots in Asiana Flight 214 which crashed landed at San Francisco International Airport back in July. NTSB investigators want to know what role, if any, automation may have played in the inputs and reactions by the three pilots in the cockpit during final approach to runway 28L.
And it's an issue the NTSB and NASA are both researching in order to find solutions in cockpits to prevent pilots from losing control in flight.
NASA has funded a $1.2 million study of the relationship between pilots and automation in the cockpit at the University of Iowa's Operator Performance Laboratoy (OPL.)
NTSB investigators have also said publicly they are looking into confusion over automation that the black boxes showed occurring in the cockpit of Asiana Flight 214 when it crashed.
Asiana pilots told NTSB investigators they thought the auto-pilot was engaged at the time of the crash. The plane's black boxes show the airplane dropped below the minimum speed for a safe landing and stayed there for 26 seconds before the pilots started to react, which proved too late to save it from crash landing
NBC Bay Area put veteran commercial airline pilot, Doug Rice, at the controls of a 737 simulator at Flightdeck in Anaheim to show how he thinks auto pilot and automatic computer functions on airplanes can at times be more harmful than helpful.
Rice also demonstrated other instances of how auto pilot and automatic computer functions on airplanes can at times be more harmful than helpful.
"Sometimes the airplane will literally lie to you," said Rice, a pilot with 35 years of experience.
"It's automation overload but it's also become an automation trust," Rice said. He emphasized pilots can trust the autopilot, as long as they know how to verify it is accurate.
Data shows the Asiana 214 flight started its final approach to land high of the typical final approach glide path. The NTSB also said the plane was unstable on final approach. Data publicly released shows Asiana's engines remained in idle most of the way down the glide path and that as the plane loss airspeed it dropped below the line of a typical final approach.
NTSB investigators are still piecing together all this data to arrive at a official determination about what happened. That official determination about what factors played a role in the crash is expected to be released within the next 12 to 18 months.

OSHA will be able to enforce some safety and health standards not currently covered by FAA oversight.
The Federal Aviation Administration and OSHA have jointly issued a final policy for improving workplace safety for aircraft cabin crew members, agreeing to share enforcement in the skies. FAA's aviation safety regulations take precedence, but OSHA will be able to enforce certain safety and health standards FAA currently does not cover.
"Safety is our number one priority, for both the traveling public and the dedicated men and women who work in the transportation industry," said Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx. "It's important that cabin crew members on our nation's airlines benefit from OSHA protections, including information about potential on-the-job hazards and other measures to keep them healthy and safe."
His DOL counterpart, Secretary Thomas Perez, said the policy "shows the strength of agencies working together and will enhance the safety of cabin crew members and passengers alike. "It is imperative that cabin crew members have the same level of safety assurances they provide the public."
The FAA news release said aircraft cabin safety issues that fall under OSHA standards include information on hazardous chemicals, exposure to bloodborne pathogens, hearing conservation programs, recordkeeping, and access to employee exposure and medical records. The agencies will develop procedures to ensure that OSHA does not apply requirements that could harm aviation safety. "Our cabin crewmembers contribute to the safe operation of every flight each day," said FAA Administrator Michael Huerta. "We're taking an important step toward establishing procedures for resolving cabin crew workplace health and safety concerns."
"We look forward to working with the FAA and through our alliance with the aviation industry and labor organizations to improve the safety of cabin crewmembers," said Dr. David Michaels, OSHA's assistant secretary.

A new hiding place for Spike
Other than having a prime view of hubby on the couch, I am not sure what else makes this an appealing spot. Underneath Spike is one of my work binders which can't be that comfortable. And now there is some "floof" wafting around which I will have to capture and dispose of. Oh well...maybe tomorrow!

The UNB Varsity Reds would like to announce the addition of two forwards to their program - Shea Kewin (Guelph, Ontario) who will join the program immediately and Rob Mignardi (Richmond Hill, Ontario) who will red-shirt this year and join the Varsity Reds for the 2014-2015 season.
Kewin is a 6'2, 210 lb power forward who has played the past four years with the Dalhousie Tigers when his career best season was 12 goals and nine assists for 21 points in 28 games played. Prior to that he had played with the QMJHL Saint John Sea Dogs (GP 29 12-8-20 pts) and the OHL Oshawa Generals (GP 97 21-21-42-184) and Ottawa 67's (96 15-5-20-133) He is a former teammate of V-Reds Tim Priamo and Mike Thomas. He will join UNB's MBA entrepreneurship program.
"Shea will be a welcome addition to our program, and will certainly bring size, speed, physicality and plenty of spirit. He was always a respected and hard to play against opponent," commented coach MacDougall.
Rob Mignardi has played AHL pro hockey for the past two years (Manchester/Houston) and finished last year with the Orlando Solar Bears (53 11-12-23-63) in the ECHL. He was a four year OHL veteran who had a break-out 20 year-old season and helped lead the Owen Sound Attack to the OHL championship and a berth is the Memorial Cup. As their captain, Mignardi had 15 goals and 9 assists for 24 points in the 22 games he played in the OHL playoff and was named OHL play-off MVP. In four years in the OHL with Kingston and Owen Sound he has a 99-138-237 251 record in 256 games played including two consecutive 30 goal seasons. He will study Kinesiology at UNB and rejoin former teammate Matt Petgrave.
"Rob is a huge addition to our team; he plays the game the right way and will have an immediate positive impact with his relentless work ethic and two-way play," commented MacDougall.
Mignardi will play the 2013-2014 season with the Newfoundland Senior League.
The Varsity Reds are off to Denver, Colorado where they will play three games against top quality NCAA opponents, including Colorado College, University of Denver and Air Force Academy. UNB will open the 2013-14 season on Friday, October 18 with the CIS banner raising vs the StFX Xmen.

|RoyOMartin OSB at Oakdale marks tenth anniversary; earns Health, Safety award
|RoyOMartin's oriented strand board (OSB)-manufacturing plant in Oakdale, Louisiana, on January 31 celebrated its tenth anniversary of operations. Construction began in 2005 on the Allen Parish OSB facility, which continues to be one of the largest of its kind in North America. Its first southern yellow pine OSB panel was pressed on January 31, 2007, with the official plant-opening coming three months later on April 23, 2007. Shown in this photograph with the 2016 Health, Safety, and Environmental Chairman's Award are (left to right): Chairman Jonathan E.

Ms Poure:
When your friend comes up to you and shrieks in a high pitched tone that only hyenas can understand, you generally want to cover your ears. When, however, this kind of reaction is followed by her showing her you a new ring on her left hand and you start shrieking just as loud as her: WE (the 'we' in this picture is her and all of her close friends) are having a wedding! Yes, she and the fiance are getting married but WE GIRLS are having a wedding!
After the excitement and the yelling, the bride then pops the question, "Will you be my bridesmaid?" Let the shrieking begin all over again!
I love weddings but better yet I love wedding receptions. The food, the decor, the music, the dancing, and to many THE OPEN BAR! Going to wedding receptions are fun but being part of the wedding party, that is a whole another level! A whole another level that is going to leave you BROKE!
There are bridesmaids that complain about how much money they have to shell out for this type of event. But when you are asked, remember your role is already stated in your job's name. You will be a BRIDESMAID, as in "maid of the bride." So expect to be told what to do, what to wear, where to go, what to eat for months before, right through the day of the event. Then, after you have safely walked your boss, I mean the bride, down the aisle your will be told bluntly, "Thank you for all your hard work. Your services will no longer be needed." If you feel you can't hack it – or afford it – you should bow out now because you know the saying, "Hell hath no fury like a Bridezilla scorned."
I have been a bridesmaid three times. Whenever I am asked the procedure is always the same. I start making mental calculations as to how much I am going to spend. The dress, the bachelorette party, the bridal shower gift, the hair, the makeup, the accessories, the wedding gift. Break out the hives! How am I going to pay for all of this?
I know what I must do. I run over to the mall and fill out an application for a part time job! When asked, "Why do I want to work at such and such?"
"Because I just became a bridesmaid!"
I do know that on my friend's wedding day, the look on her face and how beautiful she will be in her wedding attire will be worth the sacrifices I will make. Even the lime green suede shoes I am forced to buy/wear/keep in a closet for the rest of my life because no one on Ebay wants to buy them and the Goodwill refuses to accept them as donations.
Ms Dephicit:
Weddings are scary. Brides and mother-of-the brides even scarier. The cost of being in a wedding: priceless (as in so high there is no numerical number to represent its cost.)
But still its fun and we do love our friends and family and the open bars they provide!

The first clip from the upcoming "Resident Evil: Degeneration" movie has appeared online, featuring a group of special forces trying to fight back a mutated monster. For even more on this movie, check out the first
twelve minutes
Plot: The "Umbrella Incident" that took place in Raccoon City ended with a missile attack ordered by the government intended to wipe out the deadly zombie virus. Following this catastrophe, the Umbrella Corporation's stock plummeted. This serious blow to the business giant resulted in its complete dissolution. 7 years later, at an airport somewhere in the United States, on an ordinary autumn afternoon, a zombie is unleashed. Now, in an airport beginning to fill with the undead, the horrific disaster is about to repeat itself.
The CG-animated feature film will hit stores on DVD and Blu-ray Disc on December 27th.

Clip? But I already own the movie. WTF?
on December 12th, 2008 at 3:07:49 AM
This is what Resident Evil was supposed to be.
on December 12th, 2008 at 9:02:19 AM
I have to say- the voice talent is sketchy at times. but this CG flick kicks ass and really does feature a plot that we really wish we saw when we were disappointed by the live action. At least it sticks to the Resident Evil formula- which was a success...why they deviated from successful premies I have no idea. oh yeah...PA directed it
on December 18th, 2008 at 11:26:23 PM
Ok writers and directors you see this movie? take a look and turn the CG parts of the movie and make it live action see what I'm saying to you. A great resident evil movie can be made without gold guns and stupid karate zombie fighting.

'Supergirl' star is 'coming home' to Broadway
MARK KENNEDY Associated Press
NEW YORK – To get ready to play legendary songwriter Carole King on Broadway, Melissa Benoist had to learn her lines and complicated stage directions. Lyrics, not so much.
The actress, who stars on the CW series "Supergirl," has been listening to King since she was a kid, fed a steady diet of classics such as "So Far Away" and "It's Too Late" from the landmark album "Tapestry" by her parents.
"We would take road trips a lot as a family when I was a kid and each member of the family got to pick the music for an hour. My mom always put on Carole King or Linda Ronstadt or Joni Mitchell but mostly Carole King. So I definitely had a relationship," Benoist said. "Needless to say I didn't have any memorizing to do when it came to learning the songs."
Benoist made her Broadway debut Tuesday in "Beautiful: The Carole King Musical," which concentrates on King's early years. The role Benoist is stepping into earned Jessie Mueller a Tony Award.
"It's like a roller-coaster every day because I'll have moments – high highs where I'm like, 'I got this!'" she said. "And then I have other moments where I'm watching someone else do it because I've been trailing backstage or I'm looking at the script and I think to myself, 'Why did I ever agree? Why did I ever put myself in this position?' "
Benoist is closing a circle in a way. She grew up doing musical theater in Denver and sang during the last two seasons of "Glee."
"I never expected to be wearing a cape and in a flying rig and playing a superhero. That was just not on my radar. But I never, at the same time, gave up the idea of theater. It was always something that I wanted to come back to," she said. "So I almost feel like I'm coming home in a way."
Benoist actually accepted the offer of spending two months on Broadway without first seeing the musical she was joining. She sought advice from Broadway veteran and "Supergirl" cast member Jeremy Jordan, and trusted her ears.
"Who else could you say yes without seeing it but Carole King? You know the music," said Benoist, laughing. "I would never forgive myself if I didn't say yes."
Producers Paul Blake and Mike Bosner said in an email that they were "absolutely ecstatic" to invite Benoist to lead their show. "Then we saw her first performance and were completely blown away! She lights up the stage whenever she walks on."
Benoist's stint on Broadway is limited since she's due to return to film Season 4 of "Supergirl," but Benoist said she'll go back to a far different set environment than a year or so ago.
Warner Bros. suspended Andrew Kreisberg, an executive producer and show runner of "Supergirl," after sexual harassment and misconduct allegations were made against him. He has denied any wrongdoing.
Benoist calls the new set environment "really conducive to equality and everyone has a say and that is something that I felt change and going in the right direction," she said.

Enterprises not confident they can protect mobile data traffic
vendredi 13 octobre 2017, 12:28 , par BetaNews
While companies are becoming increasingly dependent on mobile workers and distributed offices, a new survey reveals that IT staff are not confident they can protect remote workers. The study by distributed gateway platform supplier iboss also finds that senior (CEO, CIO, CISO, and CTO) respondents are more confident in their organizations' ability to secure mobile traffic than more junior IT executives. 56 percent of CIOs, CISOs, and CTOs were not confident they could secure mobile traffic compared to 80 percent of subordinate IT executives. Among other findings are that 43 percent of business-to-business (B2B) IT executives are not confident they… [Continue Reading]

Indians dominate as engineers, doctors, lawyers, venture capitalists and entrepreneurs. According to Wikipedia*, "India holds the highest number of Miss World winners, only to be tied with Venezuela." (*That feels a little like citing The National Enquirer but I am going to go with it.) Most Indians are innately gracious, social creatures; they highly value friends and family and have a calendar filled with various holidays and occasions to celebrate, which they typically do with gusto. Some safe, attractive possibilities: Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Hrithik Roshan and Amitabh Bachchan. I hope Laxmi, Goddess of Prosperity, smiles on you as you endeavor to date one of her people.
And in general, I imagined that my twenties would more closely resemble the articles in There is, however, one fantasy that did not fall short of my delusions.
As I personally discovered recently, hanging out with a bunch of firemen while they cook you dinner in the station and let you tag along as they handle minor crises is as awesome as you would imagine.
Every lovable stereotype about these professional heroes is true.
In between saving lies, they just kind of hang out, watch TV, play pool, and apparently cook elaborate feasts and do chores all together like taller, studlier versions of the seven dwarves. So here's my advice to anyone who has wanted to meet and potentially date a fireman.
The most important being that it's a helluva lot easier to get a date with a fireman (if you're into that sort of thing) than I originally thought.
I mean, it's not like they're hard to spot: They ride around in huge, red trucks with blaring sirens.
Chances are that someone will be around to greet you at the station. Maybe bring a baked good so you can pretend that you're just a friendly local who wants to thank them for their tireless service.
Do that if you're shy and don't want to admit that your motives are actually driven by clichéd sexual fantasies. It also says "I'm the type of girl who would love to be invited to your fire station for a meal." This is exactly how my roommate and I ended up eating tri-tip and polenta with firemen.
You should do this anyway for obvious reasons, but also know that a nice perk of being a good samaritan is that firefighters will show up when you call.
One thought on "dating for firefighters"
This package includes an invitation with editable text and a festive "Happy Summer" banner to hang up on party day!
That way, you can increase your chances of finding someone that you'd be more interested in chatting with because they match the demographic that you're looking for.
So if you are looking to promote your music to a latin audience or discuss news of the day with other latin people or to meet a beautiful latin woman or a strong latin man, Migente is the original and still the best website for it all.
