“…Accordingly, hope has been conceptualised as a cognitive set which is built on the importance of goals (Snyder, 2000c, 1998, 1996, 1994, 1991; Snyder, Ilardi, Michael and Cheavens, 2000; Snyder et al , 1997; Lee et al , 1989; Pervin, 1989). Hope has often been seen as a unidimensional construct related to a general perception that goals can and will be met (Cantril, 1967; Erickson et al , 1975; Farber, 1968; Frank, 1973, 1968; French, 1952; Gottschalk, 1974; Lewin, 1938; Menninger, 1959; Melges and Bowlby, 1969; Mowrer, 1960; Stotland, 1969).…”

Design/methodology/approach -Based on the concept of the ideal self from intentional change theory, the paper examines a variety of theoretical foundations, from psychoanalytic to positive psychology. Each views the ideal self and its components as deficiencies needing therapeutic intervention or the heights of human experience and intrinsic motivation. Findings -The ideal self is a primary source of positive affect and psychophysiological arousal helping provide the drive for intentional change. Many current frameworks or theories examine only portions of this model and, therefore, leave major components unaddressed. The ideal self is composed of three major components: an image of a desired future; hope (and its constituents, self-efficacy and optimism); and a comprehensive sense of one's core identity (past strengths, traits, and other enduring dispositions). Originality/value -Intentional change is hard work and often fails because of lack of sufficient drive and the proper intrinsic motivation for it. This model of the ideal self creates a comprehensive context within which a person (or at other fractals, a group or system) can formulate why they want to adapt, evolve, or maintain their current desired state.

“…Traditionally, people think of hope in terms of hoping for the best or hoping things will turn out okay in times of trouble. This view of hope as the perception that one can reach a desired goal received scholarly attention in the early work on hope many years ago (Cantril, 1964; Farber, 1968; Frank, 1975, Menninger, 1959; Schachtel, 1959). Although shared by many, to date there is evidence that suggests this traditional view does not fully capture the rich, positive psychological process of hope (Snyder et al , 2002).…”

The significant challenges faced by South Africa at present are well known. How to deal with the problems from a political and economic perspective abound, but taking a psychological approach has been neglected. This paper proposes a positive approach to South African organizational leadership based on the psychological capacity of hope. After giving a brief background on the context surrounding South African organizations, the theory, research, and application of hope relevant to organizational leadership in the "Rainbow Nation" are presented and analyzed. Such an overlooked positive approach represented by hopeful organizational leaders seems needed at this juncture of South Africa's present and future.

“…Research performed by Dr. Eric Farber and Wallace Boggs [41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48]79 indicates that a finite amount of liquid fuel and oxidizer can be mixed before auto-ignition occurs, known as the Farber limit. Their work "confirmed that autoignition occurs and prevents the mixing of more than the 'critical mass' and therefore limits the explosive yield to several thousand pounds…" In the case of LOX/LH 2 , the Farber limit is approximately 2,300 lbm.…”

In an effort to increase crew survivability from catastrophic explosions of Launch Vehicles (LV), a study was conducted to determine the best method for predicting LV explosion environments in the near field. After reviewing such methods as TNT equivalence, Vapor Cloud Explosion (VCE) theory, and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), it was determined that the best approach for this study was to assemble all available empirical data from full scale launch vehicle explosion tests and accidents. Approximately 25 accidents or full-scale tests were found that had some amount of measured blast wave, thermal, or fragment explosion environment characteristics. Blast wave overpressure was found to be much lower in the near field than predicted by most TNT equivalence methods. Additionally, fragments tended to be larger, fewer, and slower than expected if the driving force was from a high explosive type event. In light of these discoveries, a simple model for cryogenic rocket explosions is presented. Predictions from this model encompass all known applicable fullscale launch vehicle explosion data. Finally, a brief description of on-going analysis and testing to further refine the launch vehicle explosion environment is discussed.
