Ladder fall accident and injury - safety talk

2025/08/20

Safety Talks. Ladder fall incident. Here I discuss a recent accident that occurred to me. It was a fall and injury caused by a series of unsafe actions. I was in a hurry, stressed, with too many activities scheduled for one day, and under the influence of caffeine and sugar. I took several unsafe decisions, including the unsafe practices during elevated work, standing on furniture, using a ladder on a slippery floor, and using a ladder in an unsafe manner. These bad decisions resulted in the ladder

Here I focus on the top 3 suspects of the Jonbenet Ramsey case, the Ramseys. Burke, John and Patsy. There is some suspicion that Burke accidentally killed Jonbenet and it was covered up by his parents. I present this theory and the evidence for it here. John is suspected from many to be a top suspect. He acted in a way many believe are evidence of guilt. As he apparently took steps to evade and derail the police investigation. Finally, Patsy Ramsey was suspected of accidentally killing Jonbenet,

Behold my first comic series since 2000, The Woozfolk. A comic book story about a family that live in isolation from our world. They are part of a greater network of outcasts that have quit our society for all the right reasons. Sickened with the unfairness and suffering of our world, the Woodzfolk have valiantly and secretly separated into a world of surprisingly clever methods to thrive. Welcome to The Woodzfolk series.

Earth based rocket system are wholly inadequate to launch star bound ships. Their size and complexity make it prohibitively resource intensive. So, in orbit structures are necessary to build and launch interstellar ships. Sadly, we are hopelessly unable to even begin building such structures. Our current energy production and other requirements keep us far short of the mark. Interstellar travel will likely require protection from space debris. At slow speeds protection from intercepting bodies is

Challenges with Interstellar Travel. Anti-radiation and gravity systems. In this episode I discuss the biggest problems with interstellar travel: 1. Our inability to block cosmic radiation, and 2. our inability to generate gravity. These two are absolute show stoppers for even nearby space missions, let alone interstellar travel. We absolutely must solve these problems if we want to even consider deep space human crewed travel. Radiation is lethan to people, and it must be blocked. Never mind

Welcome to part 1 of Aircraft and Flight. This program is a collection of articles, primarily from wikipedia.org, about the history of aircraft and flight. On this first part, I discuss the history of flight beginning in pre-history and ancient times. Then, I move on to the first kites of China, hot air balloons and rigid airships in Europe. Then it moves to heavier than air flying machines in America, Europe, and Oceania. This first part of this rich history focuses on pre-1903, the era prior to

Info-Pres. Collection of articles, commentary, and posts about Shivkar Bapuji Talpade. Talpade is said to have constructed an unmanned, heavier-than-air aircraft called Marutsakhā ("friend of the air") and flown it over Bombay's Chowpatty Beach in 1895. There are no contemporary reports of a successful flight, and no reliable historical records document its existence. Talpade's aircraft was said to have flown to an altitude of 1,500 feet (460 m).

Tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King Junior on January 20, 2025. To me MLK was a hero, moral leader, and a messiah figure. I believe he may be all of these literally. And he went deep into our past, and current, ills in American society. His teachings, ideas, and thought are relevant today. We are still a very greedy, violent, and racist nation here in the U.S. And can learn much from his published work. The I Have a Dream speech goes far in telling us the America we were, are, and where we may go. But

Challenges with interstellar travel - propulsion

The New Period Chat Radio ·

2025/01/15

The current technology we have for interstellar space travel is very limited, with slow speeds and outdated rockets. Our fastest rocket, Saturn 5, could only reach speeds of about 25,000 km per hour, which means it would take 188,000 years to reach the closest star system, Alpha-Centauri. Nuclear propulsion, either through fusion or fission, is not yet feasible for interstellar flights. Fission reactors have slow escape velocities and pulse nuclear thrusters have technical challenges to overcome,

The vacuum of space presents navigation and habitation challenges for interstellar missions. It takes a lot of energy to slow down, and a livable pressurized atmosphere must be maintained throughout the mission. This is costly, and beyond our current capabilities. Space has much matter in the form of dust, particles, and larger bodies. These can easily collide with any speeding spacecraft, and avoiding such fast-moving bodies is currently impossible. Especially when considering high speeds

Challenges with interstellar travel – Radiation, gravity and temperature. Discussion on the challenges of interstellar travel specifically as it relates to radiation, low gravity, and temperature. Radiation is a major problem to any space crew. Exposure to ionizing radiation can cause diseases and cancer. Low gravity can cause muscle and bone density loss over time. And the extreme low temperature of space requires massive energy and protection. These are challenges, some daunting, others not so

The vastness of space between Earth and Alpha Centauri poses numerous challenges for space missions. These challenges include the long duration of interstellar travel, extreme crew isolation, and logistical problems such as the supply of fuel, power, and supplies. Alpha Centauri, the closest star system to our own, lies at a distance of 4.37 light-years of travel, which is equivalent to about 276,000 astronomical units (AU) or 2,760 kilometers on a scale of 1 AU = 1 meter.

It is mentioned that they would surpass the efforts of great empires and modern megaprojects. Two methods are proposed to be able to travel to nearby star systems. The first method consists of arriving extremely quickly, limiting the time needed to arrive and minimizing the harmful effects on the crew.

Jonbenet Ramsey case - top intruder theory suspects. Michael Helgoth was considered a suspect in the JonBenét Ramsey case for several reasons: Proximity: Helgoth lived a few miles from the Ramsey family in Boulder, Colorado, making him a potential suspect due to his close geographic location. Footprints: A private investigator claimed that Helgoth's boots matched footprints found in the Ramsey home, specifically in the basement where JonBenét's body was discovered.
