major disaster

I have been watching disaster documentary recently, and I have increased my household food supplies. Fear has gotten the best of me, and I just want to be prepared. My worst-case scenario is a major regional disaster. In a regional disaster (think Hurricane Katrina or larger) you will have no telecom, little electricity, and little to no heat or air conditioning.

Watching the disaster videos, people often will become desperate and commit crimes. For your household, often you want to basically be able to survive with some food and water. And number 2, you want to be able to scare away criminals looting for food.

All business, including hospitals, fire and police, will be affected. Your staff, the ones that decided to come to work instead of defending the home, are hungry and haven’t had a hot shower in a week. No one is happy. These things can happen.

Public safety and hospitals have become very reliant on electronic systems. These organizations need to practice what happens if the internet is down and all their systems are down. What do they do? How does the hospital work? Hospitals need to prepare for these disasters!!!

Hospitals rely on the Electronic Health Record. Although no one wants to discuss the features of paper charting, the fact is, in a regional disaster, you better be good at paper charting and managing patients, in some way. You will have to do it, without the sacred, all knowing, ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD.

margin of safety

The psychological margin of safety, perhaps call it PMOS. This way it comes as a safety margin, not a safe thing. Say you hear this:


“Hey your team is lacking in the progress report. The team, maybe it needs to increase its psychological margin of safety, so that more people will comment on each project.”


This is a better way. PMOS = Psychological Margin of Safety. Because we all know, safety is something we want to improve. Safety, it’s just a moving line, a margin record of how bad we did this year compared to last year. Phycological safety really does not exist. You can see it? Rarely, you might find it being tried to be done in some organizations, struggling to get people to talk about problems.

Can you fight this? Not really. People want security and so they do not want to bring up problems. You can only improve or make it worse. You can not fix it. My opinion. There is some hope, see my answers 😀 below!!

You can pay people for innovation. I know of a contractor organization, down the hall, I could hear them talk about innovation awards. This caught my attention and I had to discuss it with them, and yes, it was true, they paid people to innovate. Great idea, pay for innovation!
😀 Answer: Those innovations can solve problems. Create a new process to kill the problem process, and you may never have to discuss the problem.

Where is their no PMOS? The worst example of this is military organizations, pick any country, go to their military projects. What do you see in those failing projects or those projects that are completely useless? You will see PMOS levels undetectable. No margin of safety can be seen regarding speaking up. No one will dare speak up or discuss the problems. Sometimes, they only discuss the options. The peer pressure in military ordered organization is incredible and creates high risk. Yet there is a way! Discussing options, this is convenient way to hide the fact that we need to speak up about problems.
😀 Answer: Discussing options does work in some scenarios. I led a group to discuss options about various technologies, without focusing on the difficult problems some of those technologies inherited.

Game of heavy things

To play: Play the game on a raquetball court or get flat area and measure distances of 8 feet, 24 feet and 32 feet.

Use two heavy balls, prefer one 8lbs and other 15 lbs. See photo.

RULES: as a player take one of the balls and throw it as far as you can. Like bowling bowl must be thrown with one hand. Stay within the eight feet of your play area. Take one of the other balls (lighter ball preferably) and again throw it, trying to hit the other ball where it landed. You get points if the balls touch each other, or bounce off each other.
You get one point if the balls touch each other within 24 feet to 32 feet. You get double points (2 points) if the balls touch each other at all, if past the 32 foot mark.

Play with partner until one tires out. Or set a number of rounds. One with the most points win. Strong people might have to use 20 or 25 lbs balls to get a good workout and have fun simultaneously.

Fyi, A standard regulation racquetball court measures 20 feet wide, 40 feet long, and 20 feet high. In many courts will have the a eight feet.The sections are already marked, as wall board is 8 feet long. No marking are measuring needed on those! La fitness gyms are like this.

Trx heavy balls are loose weighted and do not roll well, making the game more challenging.

book “Red planet leadership”

read most of the book, red planet leadership.  Thank you for the motivation, author.

Go to mars and make a colony? With some more thought on the subject, I think that my mind is changed a little bit, that perhaps a man mission to mars could be worthwhile. It would be nice to see the united states work better with China, in the space frontiers.  They cannot be our enemy and our science partner at the same time.  To make mars an outpost, the effort must be global, truly global in nature and more so even than the international space station is.  

  I have significant doubts that the united states could do it alone.  

  I don’t have elon musk excitement about going to mars.  I think there are things more exciting on earth. I think there’s more exciting discoveries on earth.  

But I think you’re right, that we really would learn a lot. We could learn a lot by doing it. And I think the most we could learn is that we could understand our own biology and ecosystems better.  The mysteries of our own biology are significant.  There’s four (4) different theories on how a specific part of cell  mitosis works! You would think we would know that by now, but we don’t. We are amateurs at our own biology.

solar city inverter e050

E050 ARC FAULT

I got this on the neighbors solar city inverter. I CALLED TESLA, AND THEY CONFIRMED THE THIS IS THEIR UNIT, AND THAT IT WAS NOT FEEDING POWER TO the house or to THE GRID. With the owners, okay, I just go went ahead and hit the escape key.And the unit unlatched and did the test again.And this time it was okay, and appeared to go back into operation. With a ladder, I will check the cells, if the alarm comes back.

i believe these units are made by abb. A similar unit’s technical manual is here if you want to read on it regarding error codes.

same house.They have another set of solar panels by another provider. Vivint solar.

solarEdge electronics. It appears to me that vivint, the company monitors this through the communication hub that they install on the side of the house. This communication hub has a moxa computer. It appears to me. It communicates to the solar edge system via Ethernet and then probably connects through cellular or the Wi-Fi back to their system. Probably using a v p n is my guess. No two factor security that I see? Any tpm? I open the box and took a picture of the system.This is what it looks like. Uc-8112 moxa.

At a large solar installation, I see Canadian Solar and mesquite solar.

Good to see some US company making solar cells. Snip from the company ies site below.

no power, no civilization

European Council President António Costa warned Monday that the targeting of energy facilities would be “illegal and unacceptable” after US President Donald Trump threatened to hit Iranian power plants if the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened.

Without directly referencing Trump’s comments, Costa said the “targeting of civilian infrastructure, namely energy facilities, is illegal and unacceptable.”

The escalation of this war is not for any peaceful ending, it is so that Iran an be dissolved as a country, no matter how many children, widows and elderly die in the process. It appears clear that is the roadmap, as infrastructure bombing of the country continues. This is a crime and needs to stop.

sick

Live updates: Iran war; Trump says ‘entire country’ of Iran could be taken out if no deal is reached by tomorrow | CNN

This guy does not represent what most people in the United States think. He is an eccentric billionaire who has a distorted and sick view of war. He said about the war in Ukraine “Maybe let them fight it for a while”. Now he vows for a destruction of a entire countries infrastructure. Why? Greed. Evil. Sick. You name it.

liar

There comes a time when taking a stand for what is right, stop saying excuses. We are all tired, low on money, and stretched thin.

You can speak up and take time to take a stand.

The voices need to speak and it is essential for a functioning Democracy. I see our Democracy slipping off the edge of chaos into the abyss of fascism.

History shows that leaders who lie and act like they are for peace, while getting ready for war. The USA discussed and negotiated with Iran just recently, and started bombing the country during the negotiations. More history? Prime Minister Chamberlain of England returned with a presumed “peace treaty” signed by Hitler; which as we all know; was a ruse to buy more time to increase the war machine the Nazis were building. Donald Trump is a liar, a sick person, and a war monger. He schemes with other countries like Israel to form war plans and aggression. It is plain and simple! His hate-speech racist rhetoric has made that quite clear; as well as his declaration that he’s a “nationalist”.

The playbook has been clear. Lie to the people about peace, to get the vote. Get into office, then lie about making peace and dealing peace with other countries. Lie that you might even get the Nobel Peace Prize. Then make excuses on why we attacked another country for no reason. It’s only obvious if you look at the big picture, the whole thing is a scam. The man is a liar.

Honor them with peace.

CBS news today spreading hate

c b s news this morning is spreading haye and bigotry. Discussing the war in Iran, they get some armchair analyst guy who’s probably never seen a day of combat in his life. They get this guy to comment on the iran war.

He says:

” iranians are hostage takers by their very nature”. That is pure hate and bigotry.

what we’re seeing is an aggressive assault on a foreign country. This is also an assault on reason. There’s really no reason anyone needs to attack that country, so there’s a media assault on reason. Is it the government tat’s pushing the media to say these things? It’s an assault on your intelligence. When someone tells you that by nature, a certain type of people are evil or are hostage takers. It’s a disrespectful to your intellect. For this assault, on reason to create fake reasons on why these people need to die. Why they need to be why they need to suffer. There are no reasons, so they create fake reasons. Fake reasons like the the people by nature , are bad people. Give the media reasons to stop doing this. Stop watching TV, don’t watch certain publishers and media outlets that make fake reasons on why people are evil and why people should be attacked.

i won’t watch cbs news. I WILL NOT, won’t partake in any part of c.B s news if I see anything with c.B.S news in it I will turn it off. You can take your hate and bigotry and spread it somewhere else. Look into the child’s eyes. Come on, c b s look into the child’s eyes and tell me by very nature that girl is a hostage taker. You need to believe the words that you spread to the world. You believe by her very nature that young girl is a hostage taker. And by the way, how many children have died in this war? Alrighty, I believe it’s over a hundred so far. It’s okay that a hundred children have been killed because they were hostage takers. Those children by very nature were hostage takers. CBS you are evil by nature, your sick lies and propaganda. Fuck you cbs.

kers

i am sure this child born in iran was born with the very nature to take people hostage. If c b s told me this, I should really believe it.
