Six Flags Magic Mountain, in Valencia, Calif., announced plans for the world’s tallest single-track roller coaster: Wonder Woman Flight of Courage, set to open this summer, will run on a 3,300-foot track and treat riders to an 87-degree plunge. Everyone wants to brag on a billboard or TV ad about having the tallest, fastest attraction (right now, that’s Kingda Ka at Six Flags in Jackson Township, NJ, reaching 456 feet high and 128 mph).īut competitors are always racing to catch up. Superlatives are the name of the game in amusement park competition. But the question is this: At what cost in terms of safety? My concern is that the G-force race can lead to higher safety concerns.” On March 25, Tyre Sampson, 14, fell to his death, after slipping out of his seat on the FreeFall, an attraction at ICON park in Orlando, Fla. “Fastest, tallest, scariest are effective marketing gambits. “You have rides competing against each other in an amusement park arms-race, which, really, is a G-force race,” a former Capitol Hill staffer who had focused on issues related to dangerous thrill rides, told The Post.

![]() The typical noise emissions occur when TDI engines are idling above all due to the noise generated by the unit injectors, not due to the combustion. This allows more precise control of the injection phases and flexible control of the injection quantities. As a result, the emission levels are improved and greater performance is possible.Īs the new piezo valve switches approximately four times faster than the previous solenoid valve, it is now possible to close the switching valve and open it again for each injection phase. The extended injection pressure range (130-2200bar) has allowed a further change in this area. For example, the pilot injection phase requires a lower injection pressure and the main injection phase a very high injection pressure. The power required to drive the unit injector is therefore also lower.Įach injection phase has different requirements in terms of injection pressure. ![]() The mechanical noises transferred by the drive are reduced by the smaller pump plunger diameter. In future, the new unit injectors will be used in the new 2.0l-125kW 4V TDI engine and later in other 4-valve TDI engines. This new type uses the same fitting as the unit injector with solenoid valve (PDE-P2) and is also secured with 2 screws to avoid additional engine assembly costs. It has therefore been possible to reduce the high-pressure volume in favour of efficiency.Ģ00 employees are currently working on the production of the new unit injector. Furthermore the mechanical control of the varying injection pressures within the unit injector has been improved so that there is no need for a retraction piston. As the name says, the solenoid valve has been replaced by a faster and more controllable piezovalve. The unit injector with piezo valve (version: PPD 1.1) is a further development of the solenoid-type unit injector. The new production site is located in Stollberg in Saxony. KG has been founded for production of the unit injector with piezo valve in collaboration with Siemens VDO Automotive AG. Improved mixture, higher efficiency and lower noise emissions are the innovative results. It also allows new flexibility in the configuration of the pilot, main and secondary injection phases. In collaboration with Siemens VDO Automotive AG, we have developed a unit injector with the same or even greater advantages. The introduction and ongoing development of unit injectors has created considerable competitive advantages in the areas of injection pressure, injection precision and efficiency. Customer satisfaction, environmental protection and the fulfilment of legal requirements are always at the forefront and can only be achieved through continued development. Nevertheless the targets for diesel engines in terms of emissions, driving comfort and engine performance are also being raised constantly. Low consumption and excellent performance have made the rise of the diesel engine unstoppable.

Police stand guard the hotel where drummer Taylor Hawkins was found dead. The Foo Fighters backed out of their scheduled Friday performance at the Picnic Stereo Festival in Bogotá shortly after announcing the death. “Today we took her drums to play in front of the Sheraton and look who came out at her call,” her father posted on Twitter, alongside a picture of Emma and Hawkins.

He overdosed on heroin in 2001 and spent a week in a coma, just four years after joining the Foo Fighters, according to The Sun. Hawkins, an electrifying performer with a stage presence that projected from behind his drum kit, had a history of known drug use. “To his family and friends, to the Foo Fighters and all of his fans we send a hug and condolences.” “The world of music and Bogota are in mourning over the death of the great Taylor Hawkins,” Bogota Mayor Claudia Lopez said in a release. “Colombian authorities found: an empty beer can, an opened bottle of vodka, a Coca-Cola bottle, and some ‘other articles’ being analyzed by authorities,” Velez reported.

![]() The legacy of Alfred AdlerĪlfred Adler died in 1937, but his ideas have had a great echo. The break between Alfred Adler and Freud, then, had a lot to do with the degree to which the former gave importance to the conscious side of thought, which makes us unique people with the capacity to build original goals. Although all of them had a history of similar limitations, some were consumed by their inferiority complex when compared to other people, while in others the physical limitations they experienced acted as a motivating factor that led them, according to Adler, to self-improvement That is to say, that on the one hand it stops considering the past acts as a burden that inevitably conditions us, and on the other it gives more importance to our way of interacting with what we feel and think in the here and now (in addition to recognizing the importance of the context in which we find ourselves at each moment).Īdler forged the foundations of this new Individual Psychology focusing on his disabled patients. Yes for Freud the unconscious it is everything that acting from the shadows keeps us tied to a series of patterns of behavior and thought according to what we have done in the past, Alfred Adler placed more emphasis on the power that each individual has when it comes to structuring the functioning of his mind according to what happens in the present. The second has to do with the role of the unconscious. He did not believe that neither sex nor the way in which it is symbolized was an essential regulator of human behavior from the first years of life. The first is that Adler gave much less importance to sexuality compared to Freud. One could talk at length about the discrepancies that caused Alfred Adler and Sigmund Freud to split, but the main reasons were two. This new school is called Individual Psychology. Simply, he created another psychological school similar in many points to which Freud defended. This was the first major break experienced by the circle of Viennese psychoanalysts, although others would follow: shortly after Carl Gustav Jung would also definitively distance himself from Freud's orthodox psychoanalysis.īut Adler did not cease to be interested in the creation of ideas about the functioning of mental processes. In addition, that same year Alfred Adler left the Vienna Psychoanalytic Association. This caused that in 1911 the opposition to the ideas of Freud prevented him to continue working in the magazine. ![]() However, shortly after this foray into the publishing world, Alfred Adler began to question fundamental pillars of Freud's theories, such as the sexual theory. In fact, there came a point where Adler became director of the Journal of Psychoanalysis ( Zentralbaltt für Psychoanalyse), a publication of which Freud was editor and that, of course, had a lot of relevance in his field. The notoriety of Alfred Adler in the world of the emerging psychoanalytic world grew very fast, partly because of his closeness to Freud but also because of the vehemence with which he expressed his ideas. , and this exposure to the theoretical proposals of Freud and his disciples contributed to Alfred Adler making his theories more and more complex. There, the fundamental ideas with which psychoanalysts tried to explain the human mind were debated and developed. From then on, Alfred Adler began to introduce himself in the ideas about the functioning of the psyche that the Freudian theory proposed.Īdler's enthusiasm for psychoanalysis and psychology in general led him to become the first president of the association of psychoanalysts in the city, the Psychological Society of Wednesdays (which later would receive the official name of Vienna Psychoanalytic Association), created in 1902. ![]() After college he meets FreudĪfter graduating from medical school in 1895, he married and began to come into contact with psychoanalysis in the hands of Sigmund Freud, whom he met personally in 1899. Career that, in his youth, he studied successfully at the University of Vienna. Īdler had a series of health complications that are commonly referred to as the start of the Austrian's interest in medicine. Biography of Alfred AdlerĪlfred Adler was born into a Viennese Jewish family in the year 1870, a couple of decades before psychoanalysis began to take shape through the works of Sigmund Freud and Josef Breuer. This article deals with the latter, who, in addition to being one of the first to question the ideas of the father of psychoanalysis, was the creator of the Individual Psychology. In fact, psychotherapy based on the fundamental ideas of psychoanalysis has three great founders: Sigmund Freud (of course), Carl Gustav Jung and Alfred Adler. Neither psychoanalysis nor psychodynamic psychology can be explained by knowing only the work of Sigmund Freud.

Years ago, when I first started blogging, I made the large PEACE sign as a Pottery Barn Knockoff for the holidays – you can read about the process here (though don’t judge my early post and photo quality!). Both of these add a fresh and crisp pop of colour that works beautifully with our cheery Christmas porch decor. I made the U-Cut Christmas Tree sign using a similar process, but with a surprising item (you might not believe it’s not actually a wooden sign!). I just enjoy the process of DIYing and then feeling the pride of creating something unique and your own. ![]() I’ve seen Christmas signs all over this year at big box stores like Walmart, so if you are short on time you can always buy one. The natural, rustic wood of the old crate adds to that collected and unique feel of our Christmas porch display.Īnother favourite that I love to add to our Christmas porch is signs that I have made myself. I also have a vintage wine crate that looks super cute with winter greens displayed in it. ![]() And because the color scheme is quite classic with a mix of black, white, red, and blue it feels crisp and fresh rather than overwhelming or tacky. These thrifted and collected pieces add a festive winter feel and great pops of colour that really up the cuteness and cheer factor on the porch. I have amassed a small collection of items that I love to display on our front porch each Christmas season, including a vintage sled (that I picked up on Facebook Marketplace), two pairs of slightly broken cross-country skis (that I got free from the side of the road), and some thrift store ice skates (which I forgot to put out this year!). I hung a large (faux) wreath (that I already owned) from the scones on either side of the garage and added cheery and dramatic black and white buffalo check ribbon and bows.ĭressing up the front of garage made quite a difference to the overall festive feel of our house and helped balance out all the holiday touches on the porch.Ĭollect Thrifted Wintery Items like Sleds, Skis, and Skates I followed a similar plan and added lots of Christmas greenery, sticks, pine cones, and ornaments to the pots on either side of our garage. It was nice to have the extra pots already done for me, and they are really cute! I also added natural cedar garland around our front window and two natural wreaths hanging from the scones on either side of it.Īlthough I normally make my own Christmas greenery pots, this year I also purchased two through my son’s school as they were doing a fundraiser for PAC. I also usually cut my own greenery from the forests around our home, though you can often buy it at local farm markets or grocery stores. I keep my Christmas porch items like these from year to year and store them in a bin in the shed or garage so that I don’t have to buy new ones each holiday season. I also had a couple of large empty pots on either side of our pew that I stuffed with natural greenery, wooden sticks and branches (saved from year’s past), as well as berries and pine cones. Because our porch is covered they will be fine to weather the holiday season outdoors. Normally, I would stuff cuttings of cedar and pine right into the soil of my large pots, but this year I just laid the cedar and pine boughs on top and capped them off with some fabric ornaments and antlers that I wasn’t using indoors. I have two big pots either side of our front door that have an evergreen shrub in them to last throughout the seasons. Christmas greenery is often the simplest and most thrifty way to add a merry, joyful feel to your outdoor decor. The key items that I like to add each year to make our front porch cheery and festive for the holidays is pots full of Christmas greenery, a live Christmas wreath and natural cedar garlands around our front door and windows. And, to me, a bright and cheerful entry porch starts with Christmas greens!
