I was thinking about Mimes and hosts and remembered that you said Mimes dies when their host dies if they're in it (a gift of life or something)

what if a Mime takes the host of a Dead!Mime's host? (

The host is still considered occupied, and cannot be hosted. More specifically, that occupation is non-conductive. Mimes cannot host other mimes, alive or dead, because their systems do not harbor electricity/life in the first place. They only have the ability to trigger new energy in something that does harbor such a system.

A dead host!Mime, in this case, is considered still to be a mime, and has hogged all of the space in the body, and has taken over all of it's vitals. It is rendered useless and non-conductive.

On the morning of Monday 29 July, a contingent of Israel’s military police – the agency responsible for policing the security forces – showed up at Sde Teiman, an Israeli military base in the Negev Desert that now serves as a prison camp for Palestinians from the Gaza Strip. The military police had come to arrest nine of the soldiers – apparently all reservists – who serve at the camp. They were wanted for their involvement in the gang rape of a prisoner who was subsequently taken to the camp’s infirmary with severe rectal injuries.

(Normally I would add something about innocent until proven guilty, but on those exceedingly rare occasions when the Israeli authorities arrest an Israeli in uniform for offences against Palestinians, this can be considered incontrovertible proof they are guilty as sin). The soldiers resisted arrest, and a stand-off between them and the military police contingent erupted.

Almost immediately, Israeli politicians took to the airwaves to denounce the arrest operation, proclaiming the rapists to be heroes – precisely because they had gang-raped a Palestinian prisoner – and called upon their supporters to flood Sde Teiman to prevent the soldiers from being taken into custody.

After protracted negotiations the soldiers agreed to be led away by the military police and were transported to the Beit Lid detention facility near Tulkarm in the northern West Bank.

But no sooner had the military police and their detainees left than a mob broke into the prison camp to protest the arrests. Not just any mob, but one that included government ministers, members of parliament, soldiers in uniform, and various others.

Later that day similar scenes were repeated at the Beit Lid prison. Although breaking into or out of a prison is considered a serious violation of the law, thus far not a single individual has been arrested.

The Sde Teiman prison camp has elements of both Abu Ghraib, the US torture center in Iraq, and a Gestapo interrogation center.

Among the documented abuses, based on testimonies of both former prisoners and prison staff, are torture, including electric shocks, severe beatings, and various forms of disorientation; severe malnutrition and dehydration; amputations after the very prolonged use of zip-ties that have been deliberately tightened to block circulation to hands and feet; denial of basic medical care; denial of toilet facilities; surgeries without anaesthetic; surgeries performed by unqualified medical students to gain experience; and very much else.

You may have read the highly credible accounts emanating from Sde Teiman or seen images/videos of former prisoners incarcerated there. Several dozen Palestinians have been killed at the camp, through torture or denial of basic needs. It bears recollection that the war crime of torture is considered a legal practice in Israel, and has been confirmed as such by its supreme court, most notably in 1987.

Secondly, Israel considers Palestinians to be unlawful combatants who are not entitled to the protections offered by customary law on such matters.

And additionally, Israel’s most senior leaders have engaged in a systematic campaign of demonization and dehumanization of Palestinians, and of those suspected of membership in Hamas in particular, which amounts to a license to torture, rape, and kill. The arrested soldiers were essentially told to do as they please with Palestinians and assured that, per standard practice, there would be no consequences of any sort.

At one level one can therefore understand the astonished response of the rapists when told they would be arrested for conduct that has been officially sanctioned on a systematic basis.

The case also reflects deeper changes within Israel. Its military has, to put it mildly, admittedly never had a reputation for discipline, but it functioned as the central institution of Israeli state and society. Israel has on this basis been described as an army with a state rather than a state with a military. But that is beginning to change.

As Geoffrey Aronson has argued, recent years have seen the emergence of a new class of Israeli politicians, most notably National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, who in contrast to many of their predecessors did not enter and succeed in politics on the strength of a military career, but rather built successful careers through opposition to and delegitimization of Israel’s security establishment. Their preferred armed force is not a regular army, but rather militias and mobs of brownshirts. And that’s what we saw on 29 July.

It’s not so much a turning point as visible evidence that the process is alive, well, and rapidly gaining momentum. That it should burst onto the scene in defense of gang rape should therefore not come as a particular surprise.

There are many other notable elements to this issue, not least of which would be the observation that every accusation is a confession. Another would be that Government ministers and members of parliament rank somewhat higher in the pecking order than falsely-accused UNRWA staff.

Yet one angle that is particularly interesting has to do with Israel’s concerns about sustaining its impunity with respect to its dealings with the Palestinian people.

As @reider has pointed out, Israel’s Chief of Staff, Herzi Halevi, in his condemnation of the riots asserted that military police investigations are essential to protect Israeli soldiers “at home and abroad”.

“Abroad”, @reider points out, “obviously meaning The Hague” where the International Criminal Court (ICC) and International Court of Justice (ICJ) are based.

Thanks to efforts initiated by the United Kingdom, which argued that the ICC should only prosecute Palestinians, the Court is now permitting multiple challenges to its jurisdiction over Israeli crimes perpetrated in the occupied Palestinian territories.

A particularly specious set of arguments has been put forth by Germany, arguably the most experienced state when it comes to the crimes enumerated in the Rome Statute.

One of Berlin’s arguments is that the ICC should not pursue arrest warrants until Israel has completed the commission of its crimes against the Palestinian people and considers its business concluded.

The other argument concerns “complementarity”, the principle according to which the ICC can and will only pursue prosecutions where national judiciaries fail to conduct such procedures themselves

In its paeans to Israel’s judiciary, Berlin conveniently neglects that every independent study of Israel’s judiciary with respect to crimes committed by Israelis against Palestinians has concluded that the primary role of this apparatus has been to enable, legitimize, and whitewash the crimes concerned. Even were this not the case, the way ICC complementarity works is that the national judiciary would have to credibly investigate and, if appropriate, prosecute and convict the same individuals for the same crimes they stand accused of by ICC.

In other words, Germany’s desperately furious efforts to defend that other genocidal regime will prove of little use to Netanyahu and Gallant.

But Halevi, a representative of Israel’s traditional military elite – let’s call him an Israeli Prussian – sees the writing on the wall, and he and his fellow officers don’t want to share Netanyahu and Gallant’s fate. So they are creating an argument for complementarity.

In a rational society Halevi would be hailed for his foresight and criticized for waiting so long to act.

But a society where government ministers, members of parliament, uniformed soldiers, and a mob of brownshirts riot at two separate locations on a single day in defense of gang rape cannot be considered rational.

[spot-the-antisemitism]

Hey, genuine question here because I’m really confused about the phrase “anti-zionism is antisemitism.” Why do you think that? After spending over a year now watching the Israeli Government: 

Admit to intentionally depriving the entirety of Gaza of food, water, and electricity. (Israel: Starvation Used as Weapon of War in Gaza | Human Rights Watch)

Engage in Collective Punishment and various other heinous war crimes. (Same source as above)

Target civilian infrastructure under the guise of them being fronts for Hamas. Which even if they were (something there is no definitive evidence of) would still be vile. (Security Council Debates Israeli Attacks on Hospitals Allegedly Misused by Hamas, as UN Rights Chief Urges Independent Probes | Meetings Coverage and Press Releases)

Actively claim via government funded video that there are “no innocent civilians in Gaza” despite the fact that 44% of the reported casualties have been children. (Yes I acknowledge that the Ministry of Health is run by Hamas, however Israel is actively banning journalists from entering Gaza to confirm those statistics. Therefore forcing us to take them at face value because we have no other source.)(Israel posts video saying ‘there are no innocent civilians’ in Gaza)(Nearly 70% of Gaza war dead women and children - UN - BBC News)(More Than 13,000 Children Reported Dead in Gaza as Famine Nears | UNICEF USA)

Allow the IDF to do literally whatever the hell they want, allowing unjustified use of lethal force. We have reached a point where IDF soldiers literally are posting on tiktok bragging about bombing civilians. I’ve seen a nauseating amount of people calling Palestinian children “little Hamas members” or “future terrorists” to justify slaughtering them. (Open-Fire Policy | B'Tselem)

Killed more than 250 aid workers while purposefully targeting shelters and aid worker convoys. (Gaza: Israelis Attacking Known Aid Worker Locations | Human Rights Watch)

Labeled certain areas as “Safe Zones” and proceeding to bomb them anyway. (Urgent need for ceasefire as Israeli forces attack ‘safe zones’ in Rafah | Doctors Without Borders - USA)

Ignore their long history of massacring Palestinians decades before Hamas was founded. (ccrjustice.org)

So please, seriously, please do not tell me you genuinely think my hatred for the Israeli Government is antisemetic. I will condemn Hamas until the day I die but just as Israelis are not a monolith neither are Palestinians, and it is unfair to place sole blame on the Palestinians Tyrannical Government for the deaths of the innocent.

Dear thanks,

I think that because entitled goyim like you still think thry can trot out some conspiracy theories like “genocide real” and “Israel caused the famine” with some propaganda ass source to justify why they hate Jews instead of just goosestepping honestly like most of y’all and demand I treat you will respect

you want respect you come off anon and give some actual ass sources with WORKING LINKS and dropped the “now that everyone hates will you stop playing hard to get and admit my goysplaining trumps your lived experience ” attitude, THEN we’ll talk

GrabPack People AU ideas/stuff since @smallturtlebomb wanted em xD

So the starting thought for these five was: ‘what if the GrabPack hands were human/humanized?’ Which I then ran with as you could see-

The main thing for them (rn) is that they were meant to help the workers who used the GrabPacks at the factory learn what they did and how they worked!

Red and Blue were mainly on the top level, green on the same level as the Game Station, and Purple and Orange on the same level as the Playcare (I based this on when/where you get each hand during the chapter/area)

(They also did physical labor and stuff since they were good for that)

All of them have the basic GrabPack abilities, but Green, Purple, and Orange have the same abilities as their game counterparts (Red and Blue just have better versions of the basic GP abilities :D)

Blue and Red are close because they were normally kept together

Green was normally on her own (apart from the other experiments) since she was the lone GrabPack member near the Game Station and is pretty used to that

And Orange and Purple are also pretty close since they were also kept together

(Every once in a while tho they would be brought back together)

They didn’t take part in the Hour of Joy, instead opting to find places to stay safe and hide, and they’ve pretty much just been doing that ever since

As for what they’re like themselves:

Blue: Blue is the calm and collected leader (most of the time at least), he’s the one that makes sure everyone is alright and taken care of, along with being the voice of reason and one to go to in a time of need. (The kid they used for Blue would’ve gotten along with Matthew let’s be honest-)

Red: Red is the chaotic gremlin who’s ready to jump into any situation xD. They’re a hot head but one who will defend the others with their life (I’d like to think that the kid they used for Red would’ve gotten along with Kevin lmao), but they can also be calmer when needed and are good to go to when you need someone to pick ya up

Green: Green is the stoic and logical one of the group, always thinking of plans to get out of problems the group might stumble upon. But she can also be very sassy and sarcastic (she and Purple butted head at first-) along with also being caring, mainly with Orange. Green is probably the most agressive when they can’t find a way out logically, being the one with the electrical system they can just shock their opponent(s)-

Orange: Orange is the youngest of the group (and therefore the one the others protect the most /hj) but can handle herself just fine! She often accidentally shoots flares at things she doesn’t mean to but she’s trying! Green often helps her out with that kind of thing. She’s often the closest to Purple physically, and likes to hang around them.

Purple: Purple is the confident and cocky one of the group, often coming off as aloof and rude. Green and them did not get along well at first (since they reminded her of some of the scientists and workers, while they thought that she was too apathetic to care about anyone (which was not true)). But once you get to know them, you can see the kinder person underneath. They have a soft spot for Orange, often showing that side much more around her.

I’m still not sure what to do with their story just yet, like if they’re their own thing or if they help the Player or smthin, but I like em a lot and they’re gonna be sitting in the corner of mah brain :]

(…I just realized how much I wrote sooo uhh, have fun with all that XD)

A Meta on Crowley's Miracle Meltdown

gif by phaxxion via Tenor

What exactly is happening in this moment? Why is it happening? Why is it included in this story?

I don't mean "Why does Crowley have a frustration meltdown after a huge argument with his partner about helping their former abuser Jeff Bezos?" We've all been there. But not all of us discharge a huge bolt of red infernal energy when we lose our temper, and more to the point, Crowley doesn't usually do that either. What gives?

And, as ixi of Fuck Yeah Good Omens asks and illustrates, why does some of the infernal energy Crowley discharges travel sideways into Give Me Coffee?

Here's my proposal for answers to these questions.

Insofar as angels and demons were created expressly for the purpose of channeling miracle, maybe to angelic stock refraining from miracles is a bit like holding one's breath is to a human. Human bodies move air in and through and out of themselves as an automatic process. They can refrain from that process, but because breathing is the default, refraining takes a positive sustained effort.

And if you're holding your breath when someone punches you hard in the gut, you don't just lose track of holding your breath, you gasp, you make sounds, you breathe hard. You move a lot of air through your respiratory system for a few seconds until you regain your equilibrium.

Since coming to "a sort of generalised understanding" with Hell, Crowley hasn't been doing many miracles. Aziraphale says he thinks Heaven would notice if he "performed even a minor miracle," and Crowley agrees, "I don't want Hell taking an interest either"; this implies that they've both been trying to keep their miracle usage minimal. (From his continued abuse of London's traffic lights we can infer that Crowley, as usual, has somewhat more latitude in this regard than does Aziraphale.) But he's so freaked out by the appearance of Jeff Bezos Jimbriel and so angry about Aziraphale's line-in-the-sand insistence that the two of them help Jim instead of protecting themselves that Crowley feels approaching a loss of the ability to hold his breath, miraculously speaking.

So before he accidentally curses the bookshop, he goes out into the street away from everyone and tries to get control of himself. If he's not successful, then he's at least away from everyone and able to discharge miracle into the sky where it can dissipate, just like the spiritual smog of evil produced by the M25 dissipates without affecting any one person or thing.

Crowley channels the miracle into the form of lightning, but Crowley's lightning behaves like miracle, not like lightning. Lightning is a huge shock of static electricity, i.e., the sudden mass movement of positively and negatively charged ions toward each other; it does not come up through a person's body from Hell, and it doesn't damage mobile phones.

It takes a direct lightning strike to damage a mobile phone, and when that happens it doesn't just fry the phone, it burns it. An arc of circuit electricity strong enough to fry an unplugged mobile phone would be strong enough to shock and burn the person holding it as well. Nina and Maggie both have their phones on them when the lightning hits Give Me Coffee, but neither woman gets struck by lightning or electrocuted. Their phones get bricked because that is how Crowley thinks lightning works and therefore his lightning works that way.

And it is for this same reason that the "lightning" Crowley puts out hits Give Me Coffee: because it's not lightning, it's miracle. Miracle depends on the miracledoer's familiarity with the thing the miracle is acting upon.

When Crowley has his frustrationgasm, he doesn't have perfect control over where he's aiming miracle in that moment and/or he's concentrating on keeping it away from the bookshop and Aziraphale and the Bentley, so a tongue of miraculous "lightning" (which behaves the way Crowley thinks lightning behaves) slips sideways towards the next most familiar thing on the street to him: Nina's coffee shop. Crowley went there just a few minutes before this scene.

As far as I can tell, this moment serves two functions in the story. Firstly, as many others have pointed out, it establishes the color of Crowley's miracle to be red (continuing the motif of red as the color that represents him) in order to indicate the importance of the Supreme Archangel's purple and the purple of the miracle plume Crowley and Aziraphale's joint miracle produced.

But maybe it's also included because it explicitly establishes a mechanic we see repeated on a smaller scale in 1827: that an angel or a demon's control of the miraculous power they channel isn't always perfect. It can slip if they get really upset.

[adultingwhileautistic]

New research by a UT Dallas neuroscientist at the Center for BrainHealth has established a link between autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and pain sensitivity. The study, led by Dr. Xiaosi Gu, outlines alternations in pain perception faced by people on the autism spectrum and how those changes can affect them in social functions. “This provides some of the first evidence that links pain perception to social function in ASD. Most experiments on ASD focus either on the social dysfunction aspects or the sensory dysfunction aspects. But very few studies have looked at them both,” said Gu, assistant professor in the School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences. Published in the European Journal of Neuroscience, the study focused on a very specific aspect of sensory processing — pain perception, with a goal of determining what happens in the brains of high-functioning adults with ASD when they anticipate and feel pain sensations. The researchers used a stimulation device to deliver mild electrical shocks to the participants, who decided how much pain they were willing to tolerate. The shocks were delivered while the subjects were inside an MRI scanner, so that researchers could measure brain activity and physiological responses when participants anticipated pain and when they experienced it. One of the areas in the brain known to encode anticipation of pain is the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC). As participants waited in the scanner before receiving a pain signal, researchers could see this part of the brain light up. Gu said there were three main findings from the study:

It confirmed that people with ASD are hypersensitive to pain, a finding that has been documented in previous studies.

In a new finding, the study showed that when people with ASD anticipate painful stimulus, their brains generate greater neural responses in the ACC, compared to those without ASD.

In addition, the research indicated that the more brain activity the participants show during pain anticipation, the less they score on an empathy quotient questionnaire.

Gu said people with autism often are poor at empathy, which is the ability to understand what another person may be feeling. This result indicates that pain anticipation is related to social impairments faced by those with autism. She said that a withdrawal from interactions may be a way of protecting oneself. “The risks of encountering pain are part of daily life and are normal for non-ASD individuals, but may be overwhelming for autistic people,” Gu said. “Therefore, one possible explanation of our finding is that to protect themselves, individuals with ASD may not engage in social interactions as much. You reduce the risk of encountering pain or other sensory experiences that are very normal for non-ASD individuals, but not for those with ASD.” Based on the study results, Gu said that therapists and experts who work with people with ASD should consider developing interventions and treatment options to help with sensory processing, particularly pain. Other authors of the paper include researchers from City University of New York, Boston University, the University of Toronto, the Icahn School of Medicine in New York and Rush University in Chicago. The research was funded by the National Institutes of Health.

Autistic spaces are getting so much more hostile towards people with low empathy, and it sucks

There was a subreddit I really liked, people were chill, and then there was a sudden influx of people making posts like ‘Autistic people have empathy! Saying we don’t makes us seem like monsters! Thats not a symptom!’ And people making posts explaining that no, actually, some of us do have low empathy got attacked and told they were wrong or ableist? And it sucks, because its just so hard to find a place to exist where you can be seen as not evil? I don’t know, it just hurts a lot to be told that

A Developing City with Changing Requirements:  Choosing Electrical Safety Inspection in Geelong

Regular electrical safety inspection in Geelong can assist in guaranteeing that all systems adhere to the most recent safety standards and laws as buildings change ownership or undergo renovations. The city and its electrical needs are growing as a result of new housing construction, population expansion, and increased investment in the commercial and industrial sectors.

Electrical switchboard upgrade in Geelong assist in identifying these risks before they develop into significant dangers; therefore, they are not only important for code compliance. Old switchboards may not have safety switches, wiring insulation may deteriorate, and prior repairs may have been done incorrectly.

Preserving Property and Lives

In Australia, one of the main causes of home fires is electrical problems. The effects of an electricity outage may be disastrous in Geelong, where residential areas are heavily inhabited and bushfire hazards are still present in the surrounding areas.

Hidden issues, including exposed wiring, rusted connections, and antiquated safety systems, can be found with an electrical safety examination. Early detection of these problems lowers the chance of electrical fires, electric shocks, and other hazardous situations by enabling prompt repairs or improvements. For homeowners, business owners, and landlords alike, the assurance that a house or place of employment is electrically safe is priceless.

Compliance with Law and Insurance

Regular electrical safety inspections of rental premises are mandated by law in Victoria. Tenant protection and landlord maintenance of secure living conditions are the goals of these rules. Maintaining compliance with these regulatory requirements is essential for Geelong property managers and investors in order to prevent penalties and possible responsibility.

Evidence that electrical systems were maintained in compliance with safety standards may be needed by insurance companies. In the case of damage or injury, having current inspection records helps with insurance claims and shields owners from large financial damages.

Why Regular Testing of Vacuum Circuit Breakers is Essential for Power Systems

In this era of speed, power systems are the key pillars of industries, houses, and businesses. Their safety and reliability are paramount so that there is no restraint in providing electricity and there may not be any disconnection. A vacuum circuit breaker (VCB) is an extremely crucial component in maintaining the stability of power systems. Vacuum circuit breakers need to be tested at routine intervals so that they are at their best performance and reliable. We are going to describe below why the testing of vacuum circuit breakers is very critical to the functioning and safety of power systems.

What is a Vacuum Circuit Breaker?

Vacuum circuit breaker (VCB) is among the electric switches used in switching off electric current when it finds a fault. VCB uses vacuum to suppress the arc of electricity that has been formed when de-energizing the current. . Compared to other circuit breakers, where air or gas is applied when they are de-energizing the arc, VCB applies vacuum and therefore it is an effective and efficient device in the power system.

How Does a Vacuum Circuit Breaker Work?

If a fault is experienced, the vacuum circuit breaker will isolate the flow of current by opening the contacts. Upon opening of the contacts, the arc connecting the contacts gets extinguished within a vacuum chamber in a manner that the apparatus is not damaged. Due to the vacuum having high dielectric strength, it is more appropriate for use in such applications as the vacuum is highly effective in insulating voltage at high values.

The Importance of Circuit Breakers in Power Systems

Power system circuit breakers are very important in the operation of power systems. They are protective devices that are used to avert system overloading and safeguard humans and equipment against power system faults. It is easy for a circuit breaker in a power system to cut off power when a fault is detected to prevent further damage.

For power systems to be effective and secure, these breakers need to operate as required. To make this possible, vacuum circuit breaker testing will be required, and this will lead to rapid and efficient switching off of current flow by the breakers during faults. Non-testing will lead to equipment failure, system breakdown, and even electrical hazard to be highly likely.

Key Benefits of Circuit Breakers in Power Systems:

Fault detection and isolation: Avoids faults in the circuit in a short time for overall system stability.

Avoids damage: Avoids transformers, generators, and other massive equipment from fault-incurring damage.

Safety of personnel assured: Avoids electrical shock possibilities and fire hazards, protecting the workforce and buildings.

Why is Regular Testing of Vacuum Circuit Breakers Essential?

1. Ensures Reliability and Performance

Periodic testing of vacuum circuit breakers avoids breaker failure at a time when it is most needed. VCB parts can fail or degrade over a period of time. Without testing, there are chances that the breaker may not interrupt the fault current, and it incurs system down time as well as costly damage. Testing avoids early faults to go undetected, and maintenance or replacement can be done before the system fails.

2. Prevents System Failures

The function of the circuit breaker in power system is critical in preventing system failure. Poor performance during high-voltage levels could result in causing system-wide failure or catastrophic accidents. VCB testing helps in preventing the failure of the breaker in meeting high-voltage fault levels and cascading power grid failures.

3. Enhances Safety

VCBs are also important in making equipment and personnel associated with electrical systems safe. Defective circuit breakers can cause electric shock, fire, or explosion under adverse conditions. Testing guarantees VCBs will perform their safety function and minimize risks to employees and facilities.

4. Compliance with Standards and Regulations

All the regional power system operators must adhere to some level of operation and safety, i.e., either International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) or ANSI. Vacuum circuit breaker test on a regular basis ensures regulatory legislation compliance of such systems so that instances of legal disputes don’t arise and the system becomes extremely reliable.

How Does VCB Testing Improve Power System Reliability?

Vacuum circuit breaker test provides valuable information regarding its performance and service behaviour. It is utilized for the following purposes:

Identification of wear and tear: Testing after a sequence of regular intervals may identify signs of wear, such that the defective elements are replaced prior to their becoming a cause for failure.

Contact performance testing: Testing can identify if the breaker’s contacts are in a good condition and open and close when necessary.

Dielectric strength test: Maintains vacuum chamber of the breaker with high holding capacity and prevents arcing.

Periodic testing of VCBs will allow power system operators to maintain all the breakers in healthy working conditions and hence improve the reliability and stability of the system.

Conclusion

Vacuum circuit breakers need periodic testing in order to determine the safety and quality of power systems. VCBs are a worthy addition to electrical equipment protection, system stability, and human life protection. Faults are determined before occurrence, preventing system failure and ensuring fault-withstanding capability by breakers. Compliances, operation performance, or safety factors, testing ensures that VCBs operate effectively in order to reduce the risk of sudden blackouts or accidents.

The Vital Role of Safety Helmets in Preventing Workplace Injuries

In any workplace, the safety and well-being of employees should be at the forefront of any business operation. Among the various types of personal protective equipment (PPE) available, safety helmets play a pivotal role in minimizing the risk of head injuries. Whether it's a construction site, a factory floor, or any high-risk environment, safety helmets are essential to ensuring workers' protection from a wide array of potential hazards. This blog will explore the critical role of safety helmets in preventing workplace injuries and how they contribute to a safer work environment.

Why Safety Helmets Are Crucial in the Workplace

Head injuries are among the most severe and potentially life-threatening injuries in the workplace. The human skull is not designed to withstand significant impacts, and even a minor injury to the head can lead to devastating consequences, including concussions, brain injuries, or fatalities. That’s where safety helmets come in.

A safety helmet acts as a protective barrier between the head and potential hazards such as falling objects, debris, machinery malfunctions, or accidental impacts. The primary function of a safety helmet is to absorb the shock of an impact and distribute the force across a larger area to minimize the injury's severity. Without these essential helmets, employees would be at an increased risk of serious accidents that could be easily prevented.

The Role of Safety Helmets in Compliance with Workplace Safety Laws

Workplace safety regulations are enforced to protect workers from injuries that may arise from common hazards in various industries. In many countries, organizations are required by law to provide appropriate PPE, including safety helmets, to employees working in dangerous environments.

Regulatory bodies such as OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) in the United States and the HSE (Health and Safety Executive) in the UK set strict guidelines about where and when safety helmets must be worn. According to these regulations, workers in construction, demolition, mining, electrical work, and other high-risk sectors must wear safety helmets to reduce the risk of head injuries from accidents like falling objects or slips and falls.

Companies that fail to adhere to these regulations can face fines, penalties, and even lawsuits, not to mention the potential harm to employees. Therefore, ensuring the proper use of safety helmets is crucial not only for employee safety but also for legal and financial reasons.

How Safety Helmets Protect Workers

The technology behind safety helmets has evolved significantly over the years, providing workers with enhanced protection that allows them to perform their jobs with greater confidence. Here are the key ways in which safety helmets help protect workers:

Protection from Falling Objects: In industries like construction and warehousing, falling tools or debris pose a significant risk to workers. A safety helmet serves as a protective shield, reducing the likelihood of serious injury if an object were to fall from a height.

Impact Absorption: A well-designed safety helmet is equipped with an inner foam lining that absorbs the shock from impacts, reducing the amount of force transferred to the skull. This impact reduction can make the difference between a minor injury and a life-threatening one.

Protection from Electrical Hazards: For workers in electrical or power industries, safety helmets made with non-conductive materials can prevent electrical shocks in case of accidents involving power lines or equipment.

Minimizing Risk of Falls: Slips, trips, and falls are common workplace accidents, and a safety helmet can help protect workers from head injuries caused by falls from ladders, scaffolds, or uneven terrain.

Environmental Hazards: In workplaces with extreme weather conditions or high temperatures, safety helmets can help protect workers from heat-related injuries or provide ventilation to reduce overheating.

Different Types of Safety Helmets for Different Work Environments

Not all safety helmets are the same. Various work environments require specific types of helmets to address particular hazards. Here’s a breakdown of the most common types:

Standard Hard Hats: These are the most commonly used safety helmets, designed for general protection in industries like construction, manufacturing, and warehousing. They are lightweight, durable, and ideal for protecting workers from falling objects or accidental impacts.

Electrical Safety Helmets: These helmets are specially designed for workers who deal with electrical systems. They are made from non-conductive materials to prevent electrical hazards from injuring the wearer in case of electrical contact.

Climbing Helmets: Climbing helmets are lightweight and have a more snug fit, providing protection for workers in industries such as tree maintenance, rescue operations, and climbing activities. They are designed to protect against falling debris and head impacts during vertical movement.

Bump Caps: These provide less protection than hard hats but are useful in low-risk environments where the primary concern is preventing minor bumps and scrapes. Bump caps are ideal for workspaces with limited head clearance.

Employers' Responsibility in Promoting Helmet Safety

Employers are responsible for ensuring that safety helmets are provided to workers and that these helmets meet the required safety standards. Employers should take the following steps to foster helmet safety in the workplace:

Ensure Helmet Compliance: Make it a workplace policy that all employees must wear safety helmets in high-risk areas. Supervisors should enforce these policies consistently.

Provide Proper Fit: A helmet that doesn’t fit properly is ineffective. Employers should ensure that helmets are adjustable and that workers know how to wear them correctly to maximize protection.

Regular Inspections and Maintenance: Helmets should be inspected regularly for any signs of wear or damage, such as cracks or dents. Damaged helmets should be replaced immediately to ensure continued protection.

Training and Awareness: Provide workers with regular safety training that includes proper helmet usage, inspection, and maintenance procedures. This ensures that employees understand the importance of wearing helmets and are knowledgeable about safety protocols.

Conclusion

Safety helmets are essential in preventing head injuries and promoting a culture of safety in the workplace. These helmets help to protect employees from falling objects, impacts, electrical hazards, and even minor bumps that could lead to serious injuries. Adhering to workplace safety regulations and providing the right kind of helmet for the job is crucial for maintaining a safe environment.

For employers, investing in high-quality safety helmets and promoting their consistent use is an investment in their workers' health, safety, and productivity. By ensuring that employees are well-protected, businesses can create a safer, more efficient workplace where accidents are minimized, and workers can focus on their tasks without fear of injury.

The need for Rare Earth Minerals, especially Lithium, took a big nose dive this past week, with China's announcement that it has developed a means to recharge Lithium batteries "indefinitely".

This means that instead of having to buy new Lithium batteries to power electric cars and other machinery, and therefore mine new Lithium for these new batteries, the need for new Lithium has been rendered obsolete in the near term.

So there is no longer the "critical need" for Lithium.

Please note that although a great deal of attention has been focused on Ukraine's five percent (5%) of the world's Rare Earth Minerals, no intelligent discussion has been devoted to the vast amounts of Rare Earth Minerals that both Russia and America already possess.

Neither Russia nor The United States need Rare Earth Minerals, and if they did, they could easily obtain them from Africa. So the whole focus on the Ukrainian Rare Earth Minerals deal is another Red Herring; rather, Trump was trying to recoup some of the money that Joe Biden wasted on the Ukrainian War, and bring about the one thing that Britain never wants ---- peace.

Here is a fairly good recount of the situation to date:

Throughout, remember that this country doesn't need Rare Earth Minerals; all we have to do is overturn Teddy Roosevelt's Natural Resource Conservation Plan and start mining --- and maybe we should do so anyway.

The Resource Conservation Plan hasn't substantially changed since 1908. It has served us well, but like any "Rainy Day" provision, the heirs have to recognize rain and dip into the savings bank when appropriate.

A more interesting issue has surfaced in the disparity between the U.S. and Ukrainian claims regarding the amount of U.S. Aid that Ukraine has received.

Congressional appropriations and additional aid through Non-Governmental Organizations indicate that around $500 Billion in aid was sent to Ukraine during the Biden Administration, not counting loan guarantees and other benefits.

To this, Zelensky says he has received only $77 Billion and it was in military equipment stockpiles -- not cash, which is fairly credible, as large amounts of this surplus military equipment wound up on the international black market and was resold to countries in the Middle East.

Sounds like -- as usual -- "Foreign Aid" to Ukraine was derailed and laundered back into the pockets of the Usual Suspects, in which case, we should be collecting from George Soros and the DNC, instead.

What about Europe's role in all this? Mr. Starmer and other EU government officers have misled Zelensky to think that they have and will deploy the resources to protect Ukraine -- when they don't and won't -- without The United States.

Of all the commentaries, perhaps Jeffrey Sachs' evaluation of the situation in the most correct and balanced way to look at it all, beginning with the eastward expansion of NATO in direct contravention of American promises not to expand NATO "one inch" to the East:

But so everyone understands:

It isn't that we learned everything from the British; it's that the British have been using us as a storefront.

They commandeered our bureaucracy and unlawfully converted our military to serve as a Mercenary Force in 1861. We've been their Bitches ever since.

That's why there has been such a stunning similarity. Until now.

Contrary to Mr. Starmer and Mr. Merz, Ukraine is no longer a matter of urgent concern to us.

If the European people wake up and look around, they will see that the same Players have done the same thing to their unique National Governments --- overtaken the bureaucracies, dismantled the militaries, leveraged the courts and universities --- and quietly installed commercial police states in preparation for imposing their brand of Corporate Feudalism.

Notice to Principals is Notice to Agents; Notice to Agents is Notice to Principals.

An effective electrical earthing system is crucial for safety in any electrical installation

With electrical appliances and installations constituting the primary whips for our daily activities, the core aspect that should be met is electrical safety. Among the most effective measures in achieving electrical safety is a strong system for electrical earthing. Such a system plays a protective role, both in protecting the devices involved and human subjects from the hazards found in cases of electrical faults.

An electrical earthing system therefore serves a range of purposes. Firstly, and most importantly, it offers the safe dissipation path for current into the earth during fault occurrences, such as short circuits and surges, through a minimal resistance path. If earthing is not established in electrical installation, the chances of getting harmful electrical shocks may occur, also damage equipment parts and even induce fire. Because of this risk, the demand for an efficaciously conceived and properly kept earthing system cannot be minimized.

Why an Effective Earthing System Matters

1. Protection against Electric Shock: One of the primary functions of an earthing system is to minimize the risk of electric shock to personnel. When an electrical fault occurs, a properly grounded system prevents dangerous voltages from remaining on equipment enclosures, reducing the risk of injury or electrocution.

2. Equipment Protection Lightening strikes may also be able to cause terrible surges. Other causes also can have harmful effects on sophisticated electronic equipment; therefore, good electrical earthing ensures protection of equipment from dangerous surges hence it will make equipment operate nicely and increase longevity.

3. Fire Risk Reduction: The electrical faults lead to overheating and may trigger fires. Therefore, an effective earthing system helps in the reduction of the risk of fires associated with electrical installations by allowing excess current safely to be sent to the ground.

4. Regulatory Compliance: Every country has specific rules and standards on electrical safety, with a defined specification on earthing systems. Thus, by strictly following the regulation, not only would the process ensure safety but also immunity against lawsuits and even possible fines.

The Importance of Electrical Factory Acceptance Testing

To ensure the efficiency of an electrical earthing system, several tests must be conducted at regular intervals. One of the most important practices is Electrical Factory Acceptance Testing, which is a series of evaluations and inspections conducted before equipment is deployed. EFAT checks that the earthing system is correctly installed and functions as intended, ensuring all aspects meet the required safety standards.

During EFAT, the earth resistance, insulation resistance, and continuity of earthing connections are tested. This helps in detecting faults or weaknesses that may cause costly problems, ensuring safety from the very beginning.

Use of Electrical Test Equipment

Specialized electrical test equipment is important for the effective installation and maintenance of an earthing system. Such devices enable electricians and engineers to conduct in-depth analyses of the performance of the electrical earthing system. Devices like earth resistance testers, insulation testers, and circuit analyzers can verify that the earthing system is working optimally.

With advancement in technology, these tools are much more sophisticated, allowing quicker and more accurate measurements. It is possible that deficiencies in the earthing system are addressed as quickly as possible, further improving safety and operational performance.

Discussing Electrical Test Equipment Rental

Electrical test equipment hire is, therefore, a viable alternative for organizations that may not need to buy electrical test equipment permanently or for those constrained by budget. Hiring electrical test equipment offers an easy way of acquiring advanced testing equipment without being faced with massive capital costs. With hired equipment, flexibility in ensuring that the project is done at the right time with the appropriate tools can be achieved.

As such, an electric earthing system, in essence, is the safety bedrock for any electrical installation. Electrical Factory Acceptance Testing practices, plus bespoke electrical test equipment, must be performed regularly to ensure a reliable and safe environment. With electrification growing to create an increasingly electrified future, no trade-off on safety standards should be offered—to quote a phrase your ground is safe!
