using pipe wrenches on valve stemps is a pretty normal thing on lovely rental tanks with all the valve handles missing. on small 4 inch valves and stuff at least.

It's probably a dummy in the hammock.

It could also be CGI. There's a computer animation school in Montreal and one of the projects is to try and make a video which will go viral online and they create videos just like this every year. They were the source of the eagle snatches child in park video from a few years ago.

quote:

Normand Archambault, Loïc Mireault and Félix Marquis-Poulin, students at Centre NAD, have come forward to claim responsibility for the overnight sensation.

The video "Golden Eagle Snatches Kid in Montreal" shows a large bird swooping down from the sky above Mont Royal Park and pick up a child with its talons. The bird travels several metres before dropping the toddler and flying away.

The camera then zooms in on the child, who is crying but seems to be uninjured.

The video garnered over five million views in one day.

Archambault said his team came up with the perfect equation to get people to talk about their work.

"We brainstormed some ideas of what is viral online," said Archambault. "Everything that is animal related and baby related are super popular so we tried to bring both together and make something extraordinary that wouldn't happen every day."

The video took the students 400 hours to create.

The school grades the project according to the amount of views each video receives. Videos that exceed 100,000 views get a perfect score.

hahahhahah

http://www.king5.com/news/local/hanford/tests-show-hanford-workers-inhaled-radioactive-plutonium/461574180

quote:

On June 8 approximately 350 Hanford workers were ordered to “take cover” after alarms designed to detect elevated levels of airborne radioactive contamination went off. It was quickly determined that radioactive particles had been swept out of a containment zone at the plutonium finishing plant (PFP) demolition site. The work is considered the most hazardous demolition project on the entire nuclear reservation.

At the time Hanford officials called the safety measure “precautionary.” Officials from the U.S. Dept. of Energy, which owns Hanford, and the contractor in charge of the demolition, CH2M Hill, downplayed the seriousness of the event with statements including, it appeared “workers were not at risk”, “(the alarm went off) in an area where contamination is expected” and there was “no evidence radioactive particles had been inhaled” by anyone.

The KING 5 Investigators have discovered those statements are incorrect. An internal CH2M Hill email sent to their employees on July 21 was obtained by KING. It states that 301 (test kits) have been issued to employees and of the first 65 workers tested, a “small number of employees” showed positive results for “internal exposures” (by radioactive plutonium).

Sources tell KING the “small number of employees” is twelve. Twelve people out of 65 is 20 percent. Still outstanding are 236 tests.

yes, the roof can be opened and closed (for another year or two before it's closed permanently like all other retractable stadium roof designs)

I'm the ceiling tile that got blown up by the displaced air as the cart sailed by.

I almost forgot to remove a necklace with a (civilian) steel dogtag on it. The set-up tech didn't notice it.

I haven't had another since a heart surgeon installed a titanium ring in my left atrium. I know, intellectually, that titanium is non-ferrous. On an instinctual level, however, I harbour a small degree of trepidation about my next trip through the doughnut.

The magnets in an MRI are more than powerful enough to cause minor inductive heating in a piece of metal placed in the field, ferrous or not. theoretically those induced currents could create reactive fields of their own that would subtly interact with the machine field.

Is your body sensitive enough to detect the small amount of heat and microscopic tugs on the metal parts? Think about that instead.
