“Two people per parking space” is one of those default fire engineering inputs that we are very used to place into a model without really thinking much of it. But it is one of those defaults that show a huge richness once you dig deeper. Are all parking spaces taken? Are people in their cars? What are they doing? How long have they been there concurrently... We take that simple rule and pull on the thread until it turns into a full conversation about evidence, uncertainty, and what “credible maximum” should mean when you are designing for real-world risk.Dr Mike Spearpoint from the OFR joins me to explain how occupant load values end up in codes, why they are so hard to interpret, and why “maximum possible” can push designs into unrealistic corners. Then we get practical: we build a static, risk-based method for car park occupant load using distributions for car park utilisation and people per vehicle, run it through Monte Carlo simulation, and talk about selecting percentiles like the 95th or 99th for design. If you work with evacuation analysis, performance-based fire engineering, or fire safety assessment, this is the kind of reasoning you can reuse anywhere.In his consideration, Mike reaches something he calls the dynamic model: people are only briefly “in the car park” as they park, unload, walk to the destination, and leave. Because published data on “around-the-car” activity time is scarce, Mike measures it directly using public CCTV observations and turns it into a usable distribution. Why did he do this? This is a part of a larger project on adequate fire resistance periods in car parks. We also connect utilisation to vehicle-to-vehicle fire spread and why those assumptions can ripple into design fires and structural fire resistance decisions for open-sided car parks.If you are looking for the report itself with all the details, look here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/fire-safety-open-sided-car-parksI'll make it easy for you, it starts at page 218 ;)----The Fire Science Show is produced by the Fire Science Media in collaboration with OFR Consultants.

「渡邊凌磨か！浦和レッズ側の肉声をDAZN拾う！危険タックル水戸DFに「お前…」」　　浦和レッズは9日に行われたJ1百年構想リーグ戦で、水戸ホーリーホックに4-1で快勝。田中達也暫定監督の就任以降、4連勝と一気に調子を取り戻しているが、この試合ではMFマテウス・サヴィオ（浦和）に対するDF佐々木輝大（水戸）が背後からタックルを見舞っているが、このプレーに対する一部選手の”苦言”が話題になっている。　問題のシーンは48分。サヴィオが左サイドで縦パスを受けてワンタッチでボールをはたいた直後、佐々木が背後からスパイクの裏を見せながらスライディングタックル。主審は佐々木にイエローカードを提示したが、VAR（ビデオアシスタントレフェリー）、OFR（オンフィールドレビュー）の結果、レッドカードとなった。　映像を見れば、判定の妥当性は明白だ。ボールはすでにサヴィオの足元から離れており、スパイクの裏が向かう先はブラジル人アタッカーの足首。「危険なプレー」と判断されたVARの介入は当然の帰結とも言える。　だが、この試合でより注目が集まっているのは、プレー直後にDAZNの音声が拾った”肉声”だ。　「どうやったらお前それスライしようと思うの？」　インターネット動画配信サービス『DAZN』の中継内で拾われた声。浦和MF渡邊凌磨の発言とみられるこの一言が、ネット上で急速に拡散している。またDAZNで解説を担当していた浦和OBの福田正博氏も、佐々木のプレーに対して「印象が悪い」と苦言を呈している。主審の判定の妥当性以上に、佐々木のプレー判断そのものに対する批判が集中した格好だ。

https://www.elcristoenti.com/eventosEste encuentro consta de dos partes. En la segunda parte de la sesión, David Hoffmeister invita a los participantes a su "silla caliente" para una discusión profunda. En la primera parte, Jason Warwick dirige sesiones de Niveles de la Mente sobre el amor y la paz, mostrando cómo la mente los confunde con el miedo y la lucha. Él enfatizó que los miedos sobre las relaciones y los errores percibidos están arraigados en el pasado; estos pierden su poder una vez que reconoces que provienen de tu propia mente.La proyección determina la percepción, lo que significa que ves aquello en lo que crees. Si crees que tienes que trabajar duro para ganarse la vida, eso es lo que obtienes. Si crees que alguien a quien amas está sufriendo, tú también sufres, incluso si no estás involucrado directamente. Ofréceles paz y amor, porque lo que das es lo que recibes. Como Jesús refuerza una y otra vez en el Curso, esto se debe a que solo somos Uno, pero darse cuenta de ello requiere entrenamiento mental y buena voluntad. Si te abres a ellos, eso es lo que esta sesión puede ofrecerte.Involúcrate: https://www.elcristoenti.com/Si deseas saber más sobre David Hoffmeister y los eventos de Living Miracles, visita: https://www.elcristoenti.com/eventosFecha de grabación: Domingo, 3 de mayo de 2026Follow us on:YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/DavidHoffmeister https://www.youtube.com/@LivingMiraclesFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/ACIM.ACourseInMiracles Learn more about David & Living Miracles:https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/eventsLearn more about A Course in Miracles:https://ACIM.bizDavid's Spanish YouTube Channel is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP9Gw00CldPUmiu43y7fdWwDavid's Portuguese YouTube Channel is:https://www.youtube.com/@davidhoffmeisterucem

From the SFPE Performance Based Design Conference in Singapore, we sit down with Jonathan Hodges and Mark McKinnon (UL Research Institutes) and Christian Rippe (Jensen Hughes) moments after their case study presentation to break down a modern parking garage fire engineering workflow with a huge does of performance based and probabilistic approaches.We talk about what changes when today's vehicle fleet makes multi-vehicle fire spread more plausible, and why picking a single car fire curve can quietly bake bias into an entire performance-based design. The team shares how they use real incident data, vehicle size distributions, ignition location categories, and percentile-based heat release rate curves to build design fires that are transparent and defensible. We also dig into EV charging as an initiating mode, what the data can and cannot support, and how a “gap analysis” mindset helps practitioners avoid false precision.Then we get into the risk machinery: scenario binning, frequencies, sprinkler reliability assumptions, and how CFD (FDS) fits when you cannot simulate 100,000 possibilities. Finally, we go structural with concrete spalling, thermal finite element modeling in Abaqus, and a scripted workflow that iteratively removes damaged concrete to understand how exposure evolves during long-duration multi-vehicle fires.For this episode, there is a ton of resources.

「日本国籍取得報道も。日本代表入り期待されるカイケ・ケンジ、元Jリーガーの危険タックルで重傷か」　　ブラジル代表OBクレーベルを父に持つU20ブラジル代表MFカイケ・ケンジ（クルゼイロ）が、11日に行われた同国1部リーグ戦で負傷。すでに日本国籍取得の可能性が報じられ、将来的な日本代表入りが期待される有望株に対して、元栃木SC・横浜FC所属MFユーリ・ララ（ミラソウ）が強烈なタックルを見舞い、一発退場となっている。　カイケは2-2で迎えた89分からプレーしていたが、後半アディショナルタイムの90＋5分、パスを出そうとした際にユーリからスライディングタックルを受けて転倒。その際、右足首をユーリの右脚に巻き込まれている。主審はこのシーンをOFR（オンフィールドレビュー）で確認した後、ユーリに対してレッドカードを提示した。　現地メディア『スポーツセンター・ブラジル』によると、カイケは試合後、右足を固定し、松葉杖姿で試合会場を後にしたとのこと。怪我の程度は現時点で不明だが、靭帯損傷で長期離脱の可能性もあるとみられる。　現在19歳のカイケはサンパウロ州出身であり、日本国籍を有するアタッカー。日本での生活経験はなく、2022年のU17チーム加入からクルゼイロ一筋のキャリアを歩んでいる。2024シーズンはU20リーグ戦11試合のスタメン出場で9ゴールと結果を残すと、同年11月20日のコリンチャンス戦でトップチームデビュー。2025シーズンはトップチームで公式戦7試合に出場したほか、U20リーグ戦では3ゴールをマーク。2026シーズンはここまでトップチームの公式戦5試合の出場で1ゴールを挙げていた。　カイケの今後については、ブラジルメディア『ge』が2024年7月時点で「日本国籍取得に向けての手続きを行っている」と報道。2025年にクルゼイロのトップチームへ昇格するなど、同国内屈指の有望株として期待されているが、2026年1月時点で国際Aマッチでのプレー歴がないことから、日本代表入りは可能だ。

Ella era triste y llenaba su vacío entregándose a los hombres. Ya había tenido cinco maridos y últimamente estaba teniendo una aventura amorosa.Como Isabel, hay mujeres inteligentes, excelentes profesionales, bien vestidas, con el cabello impecable, que por detrás del maquillaje esconden el dolor y la amargura. Viven relaciones frustrantes, porque sus pesadas cargas o ahuyentan a sus compañeros o las hacen elegir mal. Cristo tiene algo especial para ellas.Jesús venía de Judea, donde había sido rechazado por los sacerdotes y rabinos, y pasó por Samaria. Al mediodía llegó al valle de Siquem. En la entrada estaba el pozo de Jacob. Mientras los discípulos iban a comprar alimento, se sentó junto al pozo, cansado y sediento. Ella llegó absorta en sus dolores, sin notar a Jesús. Llenó el cántaro y ya se estaba yendo cuando Jesús le pidió agua. En Oriente, es una cuestión de deshonra negar ese tipo de favor. Otro factor importante es que ella era samaritana, por lo tanto, era odiada por los judíos.Sorprendida, ironizó la valentía de Jesús en pedirle agua. Con palabras bondadosas, él le mostró que, incluso siendo judío, tenía algo grandioso para ofrecerle.Isabel percibió algo solemne en aquel sediento viajero. Cuando le dijo que solo él tenía el agua que podía llenarla, le pidió de esa agua. Pero, antes de recibirla, debía reconocer su pecado y a su Salvador. "Llama a tu marido y ven", le dijo Jesús.Jesús la abordó de manera progresiva: no tocó directamente en sus heridas. Primero se acercó, conquistó su confianza y, en el momento oportuno, le señaló el remedio, antes de señalarle su pecado. Inicialmente, Isabel evitó hablar de sí misma; pero, con la conciencia despertada hacia aquel que leía sus secretos, alivió la sed del alma: nació de nuevo, renovó su mente y purificó su corazón. ¡Una misionera acababa de nacer!Dejando el cántaro, corrió a la ciudad, para comunicar a otros la luz recibida. Estos corrieron para escuchar a Jesús, creyeron en él y lo invitaron a ir a su ciudad. Entonces muchos más creyeron en él.Isabel "demostró ser una misionera más eficaz que los propios discípulos, [...] Pero por medio de la mujer a quien ellos despreciaron, toda una ciudad llegó a oír del Salvador. Ella llevó enseguida la luz a sus compatriotas" (Elena de White, El Deseado de todas las gentes, pág. 166).¿Ya bebiste de esa agua? ¡Ofrécela a los demás!

「川崎vs福岡の清水勇人主審に林陵平氏指摘「熱くなりすぎ」橘田健人にイエロー」　　明治安田J1リーグ第25節の川崎フロンターレ対アビスパ福岡は、8月9日に開催。DFフィリップ・ウレモヴィッチ、DFファン・ウェルメスケルケン・際と、前半終了までに川崎が2選手を退場処分により欠くという珍しい試合展開になったが、後半のとあるシーンを巡り、元Jリーガーの林陵平氏が清水勇人主審の振る舞いに言及している。　川崎は前半15分にウレモヴィッチが退場処分を受けると、前半アディショナルタイムにはウェルメスケルケンが2枚目のイエローカードを貰い退場。2-2で迎えた後半28分にはMF橘田健人が自陣ペナルティエリアでファウルを犯し、PKを献上。勝ち越しを許すと、その後も2点を奪われて敗れた。　試合展開に大きな影響を与えるジャッジが相次ぐなか、VRA（ビデオアシスタントレフェリー）が介入し、清水主審がOFR（オンフィールドレビュー）を実施した後、橘田のファウルがとられて福岡にPKが与えられたシーンでは、同主審が橘田にイエローカードを提示した直後、インターネット動画配信サービス『DAZN』で解説を担当していた林氏は「ちょっと熱くなりすぎちゃうところがあるんですよね、清水さん。ちょっと我慢してほしいですよね。今、早かったですよね。歯向かったら、すぐイエロー出る」と指摘。清水主審に対して冷静さを望むようなコメントがネット上で反響を呼ぶ一方、川崎2選手を退場処分としたジャッジについては適切との見解を示している。　また、主審との判定確認の際に、キャプテン以外の選手による主審への取り囲みなどを防ぐ新競技規則「キャプテンオンリー」が第25節から適用されているが、これに関連して林氏は「だけども、選手からしたらっていう…難しいところですね」とコメントしている。　なお、川崎は福岡戦での黒星により、10勝8分7敗。首位のヴィッセル神戸から勝ち点8差の8位と、上位との差を縮めることはできなかった。一方、福岡は9勝8分8敗で勝ち点35。川崎から勝ち点3差の9位と、直近5試合無敗で勝ち点を積み重ねている。

Four years ago, what began as a mission to preserve valuable fire safety engineering conversations has grown into a fairly large platform connecting professionals across 170+ countries. The journey to 200 episodes and nearly 200,000 downloads has been both challenging and deeply rewarding – in this episode, I share a bit about my journey, the state of things and the near future of the podcast. *** Important notice: at the end of the show notes is a survey, and I would be thrilled if you participated in it. Back to the news post ***Behind every weekly episode lies 10-12 hours of preparation, recording, and editing. From coordinating with international guests across time zones to balancing out the technical depth and accessibility, producing the Fire Science Show has become a finely-tuned process. Some recordings happen at 5 AM, some late at night, all to bring the most valuable fire science conversations to your ears.This special anniversary episode pulls back the curtain on what makes the podcast work. You'll discover how episodes are created from concept to publication, learn about memorable moments (like the great LEGO collapse catastrophe during an interview with my podcasting idol Pat Flynn), and hear about challenges faced along the way. The most popular episodes – including fundamentals with Rory (2,500 listens) and timber fire safety with Danny Hopkin (1,800 listens) reveal what resonates most with our community of listeners. But all episodes are important, as they together create a space where complex fire science becomes accessible and engaging for professionals worldwide.As we look toward the future, your input is essential. What topics should we cover? What format works best for you? The listener survey linked in our show notes is your chance to help shape the Fire Science Show's next chapter.

Episode 200! And for this special episode,  I've travelled to London to interview Prof. Guillermo Rein and Dr Matt Bonner on a piece of research carried out at Imperial College London, with the experiments performed in our laboratory at the ITB.In this episode, we discuss the concept of flammability of the building facades and how this flammability is assessed with different testing methods available in the world. You could argue that every country has their own method, and in some cases, they use those methods even with varying criteria of acceptance. Even though the methods are as different as they can be, they all claim they test for fire safety of the external façade and are used as the basis for local regulatory regimes. Knowing that so many methods exist, we approached this with a question: Will they agree on ranking different facades? Will they show us the same results, or will each show us something else? And this question is inspired by Prof. Howard Emmons, who in 1968 went into a similar endeavour with building materials. Back then, Emmons said:“Such profound disagreement between serious attempts to measure combustibility points out better than any argument that we really don't know what we are talking about when we say, ‘this is more combustible than that'; ‘this is a more safe building material than that'”.In this podcast episode, we discuss a series of 25 experiments: testing five facades, two ETICS and three rainscreen facades with a varying degree of use of combustible materials. All the material combinations were built by us in the same way, and then assessed using five test standards: The Polish method PN-B-02867, The international screening method ISO 13785-1 (smaller corner configuration), The German method DIN 4102-20, The American method NFPA 285, also used globallyand the British BS 8414, also highly influential over the world and the basis for the new harmonised EU approach.We go into the background and rationale of the experiments, an overview of the testing methods as well as into qualitative and quantitative findings of the study.Once the paper is published, I will update the shownotes with a link here :)For now, you may also want to revisit previous episodes of Fire Science Show discussing the fire safety of facades – It all started with episode 4 with Matt Bonner: https://www.firescienceshow.com/004-facade-fires-and-ai-with-matt-bonner/An overview of current Issues with Eleni Asimakopoulou: https://www.firescienceshow.com/124-advancements-in-fire-safety-of-facades-with-eleni-asimakopoulou/And some interesting facts about SBI method with Rudolf van Mierlo (and their development of façade testing method): https://www.firescienceshow.com/140-development-and-implementation-of-the-sbi-test-with-rudolf-van-mierlo/This research was funded by The Berkeley Group. The experimental part was performed at the Building Research Institute ITB, with a group of tests with the Polish method performed as part of our statutory research NZP-130.Thank you for being with the Fire Science Show for 200 episodes!

We know a whole lot more about mass timber in fire than we did a few years ago (even when I've just started the podcast 199 episodes back …). But is this knowledge widely used in engineering practice? Is it used in the same way by different stakeholders? Definitely not.This is why to move timber into something we would consider “new normal”, we need more than research. We need a consensus on how to apply the outcomes of our research in practice. And this is this podcast episode.Built by Nature, with a group of investors, property owners, and managers, funded a grant led by Elliot Wood to write a “consensus” guideline on using mass timber in office buildings. A large part of the book covers fire, which we also cover in this podcast episode. I've invited prof Danny Hopkin and Luis Gonzalez Avila from OFR to walk me through the story of the guidebook, its contents of it and we also jump deep into the design philosophy of the book.https://builtbn.org/knowledge/resources/commercial-timber-guidebook/In this podcast episode, we try to stay away from explaining how timber burns (sorry!). But if you want to know more about physics, the Fire Science Show has you covered. Check out the timber section of the podcast!

「元清水GK権田修一にイエロー…PK判定で主審批判噴出「軽い気持ちで…」」　　2024シーズン限りで清水エスパルスを退団し、デブレツェンへ加入した元日本代表GK権田修一は、4月26日に行われたハンガリー1部リーグ戦でフル出場もPKから失点。同選手のファウルをとり、イエローカードを提示した主審のジャッジが現地で物議を醸している。　0-0で迎えた53分、権田は自陣ペナルティエリア内での浮き球に反応。相手選手が右足で空振りした直後、前に飛び出してボールをキャッチしたが、その際に相手選手と接触している。このシーンにVAR（ビデオアシスタントレフェリー）が介入すると、主審はOFR（オンフィールドレビュー）の末、権田にファウルがあったと判定。同選手にイエローカードを提示するとともに、対戦相手にPKを与えた。　このPKで決勝ゴールを許し、0-1で敗れたデブレツェン。試合後、地元メディア『HAON』はPKのジャッジについて、こう指摘している。　「VAR判定により、非常に軽い気持ちで与えられたあのPKにより、試合結果が決まった。典型的なケースだが、主審は最初の判断ではPKを取らなかったのに、VAR介入後にペナルティスポットを指さした。U15（15歳以下）の試合ですら、あの程度の接触ではPKを与えないはずだ。選手たちのリアクションは、リプレイ映像よりも雄弁にすべてを物語っている。ルール通りではあるが、PKになるとは限らない。現地にいた人々も、PKに値しないと感じたはずだ」　リーグ戦残り4試合で12クラブ中11位と、依然として1部残留争いを強いられているだけに、この一戦での敗北の影響は大きい。PK判定を巡り、主審に対する批判が相次いでいるが、権田としては残り試合でベストパフォーマンスを発揮するための準備に集中したいところだ。

The devastating impact of waste and recycling industry fires costs approximately $2.5 billion annually in the US and Canada alone, with lithium-ion batteries causing roughly 50% of these incidents. In this episode with Ryan Fogelman from Fire Rover, we discuss:• Understanding the scale of waste facility fires and why traditional fire protection methods often fail in these environments• How lithium-ion batteries have created a "hockey stick" rise in fire incidents since 2015• The "vape effect" - how 1.2 billion single-use vapes with no proper disposal options are contributing to the fire crisis • Why remote monitoring and response systems can detect and fight fires faster than traditional sprinkler systems• The importance of early intervention - FireRover's systems respond in seconds rather than minutes, and targeted suppression uses 88% less water than traditional methods while providing more effective control, reducing the contaminated water spill• Why waste and recycling operators are victims of consumer disposal habits and regulatory gaps• The need for more convenient battery drop-off locations to prevent improper disposal• How innovative fire solutions are changing the approach from "water, water, water" to targeted remote responseVisit firerover.com to learn more about remote fire suppression solutions for waste facilities or contact Ryan Fogelman on lnkd for a free PDF copy of the latest "Waste & Recycling Facility Fire Annual Report"Thank you to the SFPE for recognizing me with the 2025 SFPE Fire Safety Engineering Award!

「柏レイソル垣田裕暉ハンドの他にも…湘南戦・大橋侑祐主審の判定に批判続々」　　明治安田J1リーグ第11節の湘南ベルマーレ対柏レイソルが4月20日に開催。ハンドの判定によるFW垣田裕暉（柏）のゴール取り消しが話題を呼んでいる一方で、MF熊坂光希（柏）とFW福田翔生（湘南）の接触シーンにおける大橋侑祐主審のジャッジも議論の対象になっているようだ。　0-0で迎えた前半途中、ボールを保持していた熊坂に対して福田が後方からスライディングタックル。この時、福田の右足が熊坂の足に当たると、熊坂は転倒。大橋主審は柏にフリーキックを与えたが、福田にカードを提示することはなかった。　Xでは、インターネット動画配信サービス『DAZN』の中継映像から当該シーンを切り取った動画が拡散。福田のスライディングタックルが危険行為に当たると認識したサポーター等からは、ノーカードという大橋主審のジャッジに対する批判が相次いでいるほか、同主審への誹謗中傷コメントも湧き起こっている。　また、このシーンではホイッスルが吹かれた後に福田が不満げな表情を覗かせていた。この福田の振る舞いに対しても、一部では否定的な意見が噴出。誹謗中傷と解釈可能なコメントも散見されるなど、ファウルを巡り議論が白熱している。　なお、この試合では0-0で迎えた前半44分、垣田が敵陣でDF舘幸希（湘南）と競り合いながら、ボールを収めると、ペナルティエリアからの浮き球のシュートでゴールネットを揺らした。しかし、ビデオアシスタントレフェリー（VAR）が介入すると、大橋主審はオンフィールドレビュー（OFR）の末、垣田にハンドがあったとジャッジ。湘南のフリーキックで再開された。　DAZNの中継映像では、両選手が競り合う際、舘が垣田の左肩を右手で引っ張っているように見えるほか、ボールが垣田の肩に当たっているようにも見えるだけに、このジャッジに対する異論も相次いでいる状況だ。　複数のジャッジで批判を浴びている大橋主審。不満をぶつけるファン・サポーターの気持ちに理解を示す声が多い一方、Jリーグは誹謗中傷行為に対して法的措置を含め厳正に対処する姿勢を打ち出しているだけに、過激なワードを用いた投稿が法的措置の対象となる可能性は十分考えられる。

The UK's Building Safety Act requires high-risk buildings to maintain comprehensive fire safety cases - living documents that identify hazards, mitigate risks, and establish clear accountability for building safety. This is the subject of my discussion with Chris Mayfield and Martyn Ramsden from OFR.• Safety cases differ from fire strategies by being owned by the building's accountable person rather than consultants• The Principal Accountable Person must take responsibility for preventing fire spread and structural failure• Safety cases must document hazards, protective measures, and management systems• The approach draws from lessons in high-hazard industries following disasters like Piper Alpha• Safety cases should follow a logical structure: building description, safety management, hazard identification, safety measures, emergency procedures, and conclusions• Bow tie diagrams help visualise threats, consequences, and barriers in a way all stakeholders can understand• For new buildings, safety cases integrate with the "gateway" approval system• Existing high-risk buildings (over 18m/7 stories with 2+ dwellings) must have safety cases ready for inspection• When properly implemented, safety cases create cultural change by helping everyone understand their role in safety----The Fire Science Show is produced by the Fire Science Media in collaboration with OFR Consultants.

Jet-fan systems effectively control smoke in car parks by creating directed airflows that transport smoke from one point to another, similar to how longitudinal ventilation works in tunnels. These systems offer cost-effectiveness and simplicity by eliminating ductwork while providing powerful smoke management capabilities when properly designed and understood.• Jet Fans create momentum transfer through air entrainment rather than directly moving smoke• Two distinct operational modes exist: smoke clearance (reducing thermal stress) and smoke control (maintaining clear firefighter access)• Systems require careful balancing of extraction capacity with Jet Fan thrust force• Optimal design typically requires CFD modeling followed by hot smoke testing for verification• Jet Fan activation timing presents challenges for evacuation - usually delayed until occupants exit• Systems excel in tunnel-like geometries but struggle with complex layouts (the "Tetris rule")• Particularly effective against heavier-than-air gases like LPG or EV battery fire emissions• European standards now available through EN 12101 family for design guidanceIf you need design assistance with Jet Fan systems for your projects, email me directly at w.wegrzynski@itb.pl. Further reading:- Jet-Fan Systems in Car Parks Design Methods: an Overview and Assessment of Performance- Our in-depth multiparametric study on car park ventilation- A.

This episode explores the invaluable contributions of community participation in fire safety technical committees. Joining committees is not just about sharing expertise; it's a journey that transforms careers and fosters growth. Our guests, Birgitte Messerschmidt and Kees Both, reveal how their experiences in various committees, including the NFPA, ISO, ASTM and CEN, have shaped their professional paths. As we dive deeper into the intricacies of committee politics, our guests candidly share the challenges and rewards of engaging in this important work. They emphasize how participating in committees enhances one's career and contributes to the greater good by improving fire safety standards. This is an essential discussion for any engineer, especially those starting their careers, as they navigate the complexities of working with diverse stakeholders.If you just felt inspired to join a committee, please look here:https://www.sfpe.org/membership-communities/standingcommitteeshttps://www.nfpa.org/for-professionals/codes-and-standards/standards-development/technical-committees/committees-seeking-membershttps://www.cencenelec.eu/get-involved/small-and-medium-enterprises-smes/tools-for-smes/getting-involved/Or just shoot us an email, or reach out at LinkedIn.

One could argue full-scale experiments on fire phenomena are the most enriching for our knowledge as the fire community. The costs associated with them and logistical nightmares of organizing them make them an uncommon sight. However, in an instance where we reach the boundaries of our knowledge, they are necessary to progress further. That was the case of the research programme carried out by the OFR, in the umbrella of Structural Timber Association Special Interest Group (SIG) - CLT compartment fire behaviour, including the industrial partners: Binderholtz, KLH and Stora Enso, Henkel and Fermacell. Two large experimental packages of that collaboration ended up in my laboratory, and we got to test our hypothesis and progress our approach to designing mass timber through experiments.In this podcast episode, Dr Danny Hopkin makes a comeback to the show to give us insight into the observations and conclusions of those very large research programmes. We focus on how findings relate to the current design paradigm, and in which areas the approach has shifted. Following the evolution of the experiment itself, we discuss the changes in the fire behaviour as less and less surfaces were encapsulated, and some problems with partial protection that emerged as a consequence. Finally, we cover topics such as delamination, self-extinction and external flame from mass timber buildings – all important considerations for a designer.If you would like to learn more about the experiments we have done, please go to the research papers:Hopkin D., et al.

Ofrecer. 1) Cumplir la ley: Sabemos que todos estamos sujetos a una ley y, por lo cual, debemos reconocer y respetar los límites. Cuando no aceptamos que tenemos límites nos toma el libertinaje y no la libertad en sí. La madre de Dios y san José asumen la responsabilidad y cumplen con la ley de la religión Judía. Qué ejemplo nos da Dios. Cumplen las leyes aquellos que tranquilamente pueden escapar a la ley. Y pensar que nosotros objetamos hasta el ir a misa los domingos. Jesús nos enseña que uno no puede andar en la vida haciendo siempre lo que se le canta las ganas. Debemos saber que en nuestras vidas también hay límites. 2) Ofrecer: El ofrecimiento es clave en nuestras vida cristiana, pues estamos llamados a vivir y ofrecer a Dios todo lo que vivimos en el día a día. Ofrécele a Dios todo lo que hagas y realices. Encomienda tu día y tu tarea. Basta con que digas a Dios en tu amanecer: «todo lo que hoy realice, Señor, te lo ofrezco» y basta decir a la noche: «gracias Señor por todo lo vivido». Eso es ofrecer. 3) Una espada: Como a María, a todos en esta vida nos atraviesa una espada. La espada de la incomprensión, o la espada de la impotencia. Son esas cosas que nos hieren en lo más profundo y sentimos que se nos escapan de las manos. Vos que me estás leyendo o escuchando, seguro que tenés esa espada que aún hace doler tu corazón, porque sentís que no podés y, encima, te duele. Pero, como María, ten ánimo porque tendrás vida en abundancia y vida eterna. Algo bueno está por venir. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/misioneros-digitales-catlicos/support

Si Dios nos dio dones y talentos, porque no ofrecerlos. Si Dios dio su vida cuanto más puede dar. Cuando tú das, Dios te da más porque Él no se deja vencer en generosidad. Cada día hay más necesidad a todo nivel. Ofrécete. El Padre Willie nos hace reflexionar, examínate, ¿cuánto recibí, cuánto di hoy?

El tiempo pasa y las generaciones que Yahvé sacó de Egipto murieron, dejando a sus decendientes en la tierra prometida. Las generaciones nuevas, que no vieron la gloria de Dios, se alejan de Su camino e idolatran falsos dioses. Yahvé se encolera y da sufrimiento a Israel. Yahvé también se apiada de Su pueblo al escuchar sus gemidos y decide poner jueces que vigilen la fe de Su pueblo. Mientras los jueces viven, Israel prospera, pero en cuanto mueren, Israel se aparta del camino de Yahvé. Se cuenta la historia de los jueces Otniel, Ehúd y Sangar. En Rut, leemos cómo Yahvé dio sufrimiento a Noemí. Noemí pide a Orfá y a Rut que se vayan y la dejen sufrir a solas. Ofrá se vuelve a su pueblo pero Rut se queda con Noemí y acepta seguir a Yahvé... Hoy leemos Jueces 1-3; Rut 1; Psalm 133.A partir de enero del 2023, Fray Sergio Serrano, OP leerá toda la Biblia en 365 episodios.

This is one tasty episode. We went to Salluhallen to try some of local food and beer offers. Of course we had to grab a reuben sandwich from Poms Mackor. They have best sandwiches and beer choices in Malmö. The smokey, tangy pastrami sandwich pairs perfectly with the two beers selected. Ofrälse Cloud Juice is a hazy IPA made with nelson sauvin, mosaic and cryo citra. This nanobrewery is just getting started and hopefully we'll see more in the future. We follow that up with one of Omnipollo's Pleroma sour beers. This one is raspberry peach creme brulee.

If you want to design a suppression system for a certain application, you have a lot of technical solutions to choose from and most likely a handful of codes to follow. It seems pretty straightforward for most applications, right? Well, it certainly was not like this for my today's guest and his application. The guest is Ulf Lundström of the Swedish Road Administration and his application was for road tunnels. But it is not that he just needed a sprinkler for that - he had a very specific section parameter in mind, limited water availability and precise expectations towards the system use and maintenance. Something that did not exist on the market. In normal cases, customers and lawmakers would not agree to not follow the book, and Ulf would have to adjust his expectations... But being the administration - the law and a customer - he had the privilege to just try and build up a system for his needs.And boy, he did just that. This is an odd story. A story of someone thinking purely in performance-based objectives, willing to accept the shortcomings of his technology as long as his primary goals are met. He is someone who has placed a lot of faith in fire science and believed that through careful testing and experimenting they can get the exact solution he is looking for. And someone, who truly succeeded with this, and his tech is now present not only in his tunnels but available worldwide.You can read about the developed system here:- https://tunnelingonline.com/new-system-developed-combat-tunnel-fires/- Water sprays and spillage in tunnels - full report- Large Scale Tunnel Fire Tests with Large Droplet Water-Based Fixed Fire Fighting System - research paper- System presented to Polish professionals in 2019Fire Science Show is sponsored by OFR Consultants.OFR Consultants is a multi-award-winning independent consultancy dedicated to addressing fire safety challenges.

There is no universal answer to the question of how law and testing regimes should be set up. Sometimes, we build up our law after a huge tragedy, making sure that the same cause will not be of harm in the future. Sometimes, we act proactively, trying to build robust solutions so that all foreseen threats are minimized... But it is never without a flaw. And even if the system is flawless, one can hardly expect today's solutions to answer the problems of the future world.  But we need those laws, tests and methods in place, so how to create them in the best way? This is the theme of today's episode with Birgitte Messerschmidt. We venture through the creation and emergence of the Single Burning Item method (read more in this report) and reaction to fire Euro-classes. The challenges they were supposed to solve (and largely solved), as well as aspects that went out of the scope of this new ladder. It is an amazingly rich case study, filled with a bit of out-of-science issues like fighting for power, maintaining the status quo within some nations or maybe even simple lobbying (which you can read more about in this amazing paper).What we hope to achieve with this talk is to make engineers reflect a bit more on the applicability of the test methods used every day to ran products. From understanding differences between material, assembly and product tests to questioning if a method is truly representative of the end use of the tested product, and is the threat is representative of the conditions the product will be exposed to. It is not about a revolution and tearing down existing codes and rules, but curiosity and a science-driven quest to ensure, that what we know is the fire characteristics of products installed in our buildings.This is not the first Fire Science Show episode with doubts about the system. These talks are difficult, and I would also like to highlight:029 Busses, flammability and an unknown force holding good solutions back... with Anja Hofmann-Böllinghaus038 Fire resistance is not always enough for timber with Daniel Brandon070 Fire resistance is whatever you want it to be with Piotr Turkowskiand for the very end, one recent episode with Ruben van Coile, where a decent pathway forward is presented.

Performance-based engineering or the use of probabilistic methods in building design are not inventions of Fire Safety Engineering. But we sometimes tend to act like we need to 'discover' and work out everything on our own. I strongly believe this is not the best way forward. And certainly not the cheapest one...Where I see a lot of potential is the adaptation of methods and models that work in other parts of civil engineering, that could act as solutions to issues related to fire. Such a case is with The Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research (PEER) Center's Performance-Based Earthquake Engineering (PBEE) - brought to the fire safety engineering community by David Lange (a previous guest on the show) and Asif Usmani in 2014, and now is championed by my today's guest Dr Negar Elhami Khorasani. Negar gives us a very in-depth view of the status of Structural Fire Safety Engineering and shows an inspiring framework in which probabilistic inputs at different stages of the analysis can be used to build up a model of safety in a building, that is much more informative than whatever we assume through design with prescriptive rules. A step up from the structural fire safety engineering framework, but one that feels very smart and natural. The best part of this episode is reading this framework between the lines. Yes, it is adopted for structural design. But it does not have to. It can be adapted to many different areas of fire science, and in my case, we will definitely seek an implementation in wind-fire coupled modelling. So, no matter if you are dealing with the most impressive structural designs crafted for fire, or if it is something not very relevant to your current tasks, please have an open mind and try to understand the workflow and ideas behind this framework, it seems really worth it!And here are some resources I received from Negar, that may be relevant to you, if you find this topic interesting:  2014 paper by Lange et al. on the application of performance-based earthquake engineering framework to structures in fire2014 paper on a probabilistic model for fire load2015 and 2020 papers on probabilistic material models2016 paper on fire fragility curves2020 paper on probabilistic models for permanent and live loads2022 on the reliability of US prescriptive standard for steel column Fire Science Show is sponsored by OFR Consultants.OFR Consultants is a multi-award-winning independent consultancy dedicated to addressing fire safety challenges.

Would you rather do 20 published experiments and take your impact factors, or make one that truly changed the world of fire science? Or maybe a different way, would you pursue something that is quick, easy and gives immediate credit over something hard, stressful and requiring maybe years to really change mainstream engineering? Sure, we all like to see ourselves as heroes, but in reality, very few of us have the courage and vision to pursue these hard-to-achieve goals. But it seems worth it. Today's episode is a statement of that. An experiment designed to investigate a single, most impactful variable. A chain of research, from small, through intermediate, to then full scale, designed with every detail in mind, to truly reveal the physics of a fire in a way we have never seen in a controlled experiment. Finally, a great finish with impactful papers, changing the standards worldwide and the tunnel fire engineering practice for decades to come.This is what happened in the Runehammar tunnel in Norway. And I am joined today by prof. Haukur Ingason from RISE - the mastermind of this work, and dr Anders Lönnermark, also from RISE, then a PhD student tasked with assisting and processing the findings of the study. The experiments were carried out by SP (now RISE), SINTEF, TNO and industrial partners. In this episode, you will learn their path to these experiments and the environment in which this happened. You will learn how the previous experiences of my guests have been pivotal in understanding the outcomes of the test (truly, fire science is blessed with having just the right people, at the right time at the right place...). We will also try to understand the impact of this research, and dream a bit about 'how would we do this today'. And on top of that, you will learn a ton of technical details of the tests, sprinklered with a bit of tasty fire science. If you want to learn more about these experiments, the single best piece you can find summarizing it is here.One of the outcomes of the project is still ongoing - Haukur organized a seminar to disseminate the experimental findings, which eventually turned into the ISTSS conference series. This year, they invite you to the 10th edition of this event at Stavanger in Norway. It is a nice opportunity, as this conference happens just after Fires in Vehicles event, held at the exact same place.

Three months ago I saw a video of some sort of an electric scooter going off in someone's residential building. That person had absolutely no chance of controlling that fire. I guess they have escaped, but it must have been severe fire damage to their home. Then, I listened to an excellent webinar by IFAB (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vir4_1qSSc) where for the first time I've seen useful measurements of HRR in such a fire... and they are horrifying. A fire in a range of ¬1 MW is in many cases all you need to place your compartment on a trajectory to flashover. A fire that grows that quickly means you have no chance to really react. And these devices are located in people's homes! To learn more about those threats, I've invited dr Adam Barowy of UL FSRI. Adam has thorough experience in testing and experimenting with these exact types of fires, and is a priceless source of knowledge on such incidents. I am not able to summarize all the amazing information shared by Adam - you really have to listen to the episode. It is absolutely worth it. But what is also worth your time, is to go through amazing UL FSRI resources:Online course - Fire Service Considerations with Lithium-Ion Battery ESS https://fsri.org/resource/fire-service-considerations-lithium-ion-battery-essExamining the Fire Safety Hazards of Lithium-ion Battery Powered e-Mobility Devices in HomesThe Impact of Batteries on Fire DynamicsAnd the most important resource - Safety tips for devices with lithium-ion batteriesFire Science Show is sponsored by OFR Consultants.OFR Consultants is a multi-award-winning independent consultancy dedicated to addressing fire safety challenges.

In my first episode, I mentioned that I'm doing this podcast to preserve some amazing conversations and share them with a larger audience, as sometimes it is a huge waste of interesting thoughts that remain just between the few people participating in a talk. This part of the podcast mission is what I'm trying to achieve with today's episode. I had the privilege to be a part of an amazing discussion between fire science giants Steve Gwynne from Movement Strategies and Mike Spearpoint from OFR, who also happen to be amazing amateur philosophers. I throw them some difficult questions on why the industry is driven to do science. How is the industry doing science? Does it differ from the world of academia? What are the metrics the industry would measure the value of research? And they give me simply amazing answers, based on their very long practical experience. This is a little different episode than the usual fire science, but it shows a lot of 'why' we do fire science. I think understanding how and why we do science is as important as the science itself, and some of the thoughts in the episode such as that the biggest impact is entering the building code with your research or the scrutiny and reputation related to research, are just profound. I think it is critical to understand how the world of science works if we are to trust the research that comes from that world. I'm aware this episode is not for every fire engineer, but I hope that those who find it interesting will find a lot of value within it. Just as I did.This episode is also historical, as it is the first episode created in partnership with OFR Consultants, who are the diamond sponsor of the podcast for the year 2023.

PenelOp starts this episode with a big fat apology tour for Jimmy Woods and Jonny Voight. She neglected to mention them during her prior devotional, highlighting the stellar lineup of celebrities that the MAGA's have representing them, including Ye, Scott Baio and Kid Rock. Out of pure devotion to this great theocracy, those two old MAGA Farts tweet like mad, feverishly attempting to remain relevant atop the dusty ash-heap of primordial, white, conservative men. Meanwhile, the DEMwits got everybody from ADele to Queen-B to Jay-Z. Meanwhile, Ofr. Mike Fanone calls Rep.

Dans ce nouvel épisode, Alexandre Thumerelle nous ouvre les portes de sa librairie. Il est le co-fondateur avec sa sœur Marie de cet espace inédit en plein cœur du Marais. Véritable lieu de rencontres artistiques, Ofr. Paris ne se limite pas qu'à une librairie, c'est aussi une galerie, un studio d'édition et depuis peu, une production de films. C'est entre la boutique au charme singulier et leur grand studio que naissent les projets autour desquels ils fédèrent les talents de la scène contemporaine. Connue des habitués du quartier et les amateurs d'art, cette librairie pas si secrète est une mine d'or pourvue de magazines et de livres sur le design et la mode. Une sélection pointue qu'il n'a pas hésité à exporter dans certaines capitales étrangères. Avec Alexandre, on a parlé des rencontres d'artistes, des modèles économiques des magazines, du digital et de la liberté d'expression dans les médias. Il a fait de son indépendance sa plus grande richesse au quotidien. À l'heure où la place des librairies est questionnée, Alexandre nous livre un discours honnête sur la diffusion de l'art et la culture. « Les objets restent, ils se relisent, ils se consomment d'une autre manière. J'aime bien le moment de lecture. Ce que je préfère, c'est de voir un magazine sur papier, de le lire à mon rythme et de le regarder comme je veux. Il n'y a pas la déconcentration que l'on peut avoir quand on lit depuis un écran. » Ce que vous allez apprendre dans cet épisode: Alexandre se présente La genèse d'Ofr. Le studio d'édition Ofr. et ses activités Sa ligne éditoriale Ses premiers pas dans l'édition Qu'est-ce qui fait un bon magazine Le modèle économique d'un magazine La diffusion L'équilibre entre digital et imprimé Son avis sur la mode Être un libraire indépendant Ses futurs projets « On est les plus riches et les plus libres. On a très peu d'argent mais on a tout l'espace que l'on veut et on fait ce que l'on veut. C'est une liberté qui est rare. » « Une ville sans mode, c'est une ville sans libido et sans personnalité. La mode permet de s'affirmer dans un style et dans une sexualité. C'est un geste qui est poétique. On pourrait juste être sapé comme on en a envie et ça suffirait. » « Tu peux aller loin dans tes envies et dans tes voyages. Tu peux rêver beaucoup plus loin quand tu sais que tout est possible. » N'oubliez pas de vous inscrire à la newsletter de Entreprendre Dans La Mode, les industries créatives et l'art de vivre sur www.entreprendredanslamode.com Aussi, si vous souhaitez me contacter ou me suggérer de nouveaux invités, vous pouvez le faire sur Instagram sous le pseudonyme @entreprendredanslamode Enfin, le plus important : laissez-moi un avis sur Apple Podcast ou iTunes, 5 étoiles de préférence ; cela m'aide à faire connaître le podcast à plus de monde et me motive à faire de meilleures interviews !

El ángel de Dios le aseguró: —Esperaré aquí hasta que regreses. v. 19 Gedeón se fue a su casa. Preparó un cabrito, y con diez kilogramos de harina hizo panes sin levadura. Luego puso la carne en una canasta y el caldo en una olla. Lo llevó todo hasta el roble y se lo ofrendó a Dios. v. 20 El ángel le ordenó que pusiera la carne y los panes sobre una piedra, y que echara el caldo encima. Y Gedeón obedeció. v. 21 Por su parte, el ángel, con la punta del bastón que tenía en la mano, tocó la carne y los panes sin levadura. Enseguida salió fuego de la piedra y quemó toda la carne y los panes; luego el ángel de Dios desapareció. v. 22 En ese momento Gedeón se dio cuenta de que se trataba del ángel de Dios, y lleno de miedo exclamó: —Dios mío, de seguro moriré, pues he visto a tu ángel cara a cara. v. 23 Pero Dios le dijo: —No tengas miedo, no te vas a morir. Al contrario, he venido a darte PAZ. v. 24 Entonces Gedeón edificó allí un altar a Dios, y le puso por nombre «Dios es paz “JEHOVA SHALOM”». Hasta el momento en que este relato se escribe, este altar todavía está en Ofrá, ciudad del grupo familiar de Abiézer.”

El tiempo pasa y las generaciones que Yahvé sacó de Egipto murieron, dejando a sus decendientes en la tierra prometida. Las generaciones nuevas, que no vieron la gloria de Dios, se alejan de Su camino e idolatran falsos dioses. Yahvé se encolera y da sufrimiento a Israel. Yahvé también se apiada de Su pueblo al escuchar sus gemidos y decide poner jueces que vigilen la fe de Su pueblo. Mientras los jueces viven, Israel prospera, pero en cuanto mueren, Israel se aparta del camino de Yahvé. Se cuenta la historia de los jueces Otniel, Ehúd y Sangar. En Rut, leemos cómo Yahvé dio sufrimiento a Noemí. Noemí pide a Orfá y a Rut que se vayan y la dejen sufrir a solas. Ofrá se vuelve a su pueblo pero Rut se queda con Noemí y acepta seguir a Yahvé... Hoy leemos Jueces 1-3; Rut 1; Psalm 133. A partir de enero del 2022, Fray Sergio Serrano, OP leerá toda la Biblia en 365 episodios.
