Another biz jet pilot becomes unconscious and crashes. Memories of Payne Stewart.

Not just pilots! – young flight attendants and passengers having heart attacks or collapsing inflight – recent incidents happening on an almost daily basis!

Some comments from Dr. Makis:
I find it interesting that EU’s top court has just ruled, two weeks ago, that co-pilot sudden deaths are now considered “normal” because “any person may, at any time, unexpectedly fall ill or die.” That’s quite the legal argument from EU’s top judges.
In the past three months there have been at least ten pilot incapacitations inflight and at least five pilot deaths. The timing of this court decision is very suspect, as it normalizes the sudden deaths of co-pilots just as these deaths are skyrocketing.
The push for artificial intelligence to co-pilot planes is new and the idea of AI “replacing at least one of the humans in the cockpit” is frightening and not something that I’m looking forward to.
I also find it curious that the US Army has already been testing AI flights earlier this year.
Pilot shortages are not surprising, especially since COVID-19 vaccinated pilots are collapsing with heart attacks inflight, in airports or in hotel rooms between flights. Pilots who were mandated COVID-19 vaccines are also likely suffering from all kinds of other post-vaccination injuries we are seeing in the broader population.
Southwest Airlines has had to ground 40 of its aircraft and American Airlines has parked around 50 mainline jets and 150 regional aircraft, due to lack of pilots. The United States currently has a shortage of over 10,000 pilots.
Each of the mainstream media stories on pilot shortages avoids any mention of the elephant in the room, which is pilot cardiac damage or other injuries caused by COVID-19 vaccine mandates that were forced on them by the airlines.

So JCIII you are saying that Payne Stewart was a ground breaker in more ways than one?
40
Who?
Oh golf…
Good pun there GI. 😁
30
Yep, likely failure to pressurise, love how the meeja report the plane as a ‘light plane’, ah no, it was a private jet, a light plane is a Cessna or similar, and all the waffle about a sonic boom.
40
It is possible for pressurisation to fail, but it should not be possible for the pilot to be unaware. For starters an oxy mask is supposed to deploy automatically and hang in the pilot’s face.

Okay then, want to hear something weird?
You know that I have now been keeping the data for wind generation on a daily basis for, well, 244 weeks, so four years and eight months give or take.
Okay, this last week was a week of relatively large power generation for wind power, so, with more than two thirds of all wind generation concentrated in that one area so affected by the passage of those prevailing weather systems, then this week saw high winds in that area, hence increased power generation.
Firstly, here, note the irony when I mention that wind generation had a ‘good’ week for power generation, and by a good week, that meant that the Capacity Factor for this week was above average, and here, that was still only 35.3% for the whole seven day week, and that’s something that does not happen all that often, for a whole week. There were actually three days when it was 44% to 54%. (and today also looks huge, also around 50%+)
Even so, the long term CF for the last 12 Month Year dropped a little, because the corresponding year last year (which now drops off that data, replaced by this week, the same corresponding week this year) was also a week of high power generation for wind.
That caused the curious part of my mind to perhaps wonder, and that’s where having all the data in the one book (well, two now, as that first one is full) means I can easily check back.
I looked at the same corresponding week the year before that, then the year before that, and then the year before that. So five corresponding weeks, 52 weeks apart, the same week in each year.
Each one of those weeks was a week of higher than usual power generation for wind, and here, note that above I mentioned that 35% CF is a ….. GOOD week, and each of those corresponding weeks was a good week, all of them at, or as was the case last year, a little higher than that 35%.
I know it’s just anecdotal, (because after all, I’m only an ‘amateur’, with no actual standing when it comes to power generation, like, umm, you know, economists) but it is a little puzzling to see it, not once but five times for the same week in the year.
And there are not many weeks when wind does average 35% or higher, so this is a rare thing.
We all know that weather is cyclical, but this looks to be pretty close to exactly cyclical if you ask me.
Tony.
290
Thanks Tony. I took a look at OpenNEM and for the last 6 years Q3 has been the highest wind generation quarter each year, generally more than 1,000 GWh above Q2.
100
Tony, Also anecdotally, but from my family having lived on the Central NSW/Newcastle coast for generations back to the 1850s, this part of the coast is particularly known for East Coast Lows during May/June that do an enormous amount of damage every 8-10yrs. Ours is a family of sailors, fishermen and surfers who have always paid attention to wind and weather systems, and local newspaper and historical records bear this out.
60
Whereas in the UK the wind drought continues for another week with less than 10% of electricity demand being generated. The backup batteries must still be flat /s.
Apparently under a Labour government their manifesto says that they would ban further licences for drilling for oil and gas, and they would massively increase the number of wind generators but how and where and at what cost?
A large proportion of the components of a wind turbine are sourced from overseas produced using fossil fuels by foreign firms. So where are the multitude of green jobs coming from? Are the raw materials available? Are the grid connections in place let alone the need to ‘beef up’ local grids to supply heat pumps and EVs.
What is their operating life and how is the next generation going to be produced (presumably from green energy)?
A wise comment I have seen recently is that renewables can charge iphones and defibrillators but they cannot be made without the use of oil and fossil fuels.
When are China and India going to go renewable? Anything we do is pointless otherwise.
We look to be on a course to crash our economy and well-being, and our politicians are being willfully head in sand as to the direction they are forcing us to go.
And renewables are supposed to provide cheaper electricity and save the planet!
Sorry for the rant, but I get more despondent as time passes and am at a loss as to who to vote for in the coming elections.
70
If you had a coal or gas power plant that could only do 35 to 50% CF, you’d shut it down and fix it.

My uncle ran fishing charters to the GBR when I wore a younger man’s clothes and this time of the year was usually a washout.

Beware, the banks are coming for us.
A week ago I had an unnerving experience while trying to pay for my goods at the self service big C checkout.
Tried to insert my card to withdraw the cost from savings and was refused entry.
Then, the AI device asked me if I wanted a receipt.
What?
Spoke to the supervisor, then the manager who checked and found that money had been withdrawn from my credit account without my input.
Today, at the bank, I was told that transactions under $100 are automatic tapps.
They switched this function off.
Grrrrr

In the UK the use of contactless cards is skyrocketing, and some people are keeping their cards on Faraday cage wallets.
There is usually a limit of £100 that can be withdrawn at any one transaction, and it is possible to set a lower by arrangement with your bank.
Contactless car keys are also being cloned so some people are keeping them in Faraday boxes.
40
Keyless entry fobs for your car should be kept in a metal wastebasket, or the microwave, it’s perfect. Amplifiers are available which increase the range of the radio connection. Once started it doesn’t matter if the car drives out of range, it doesn’t stop.
10
In some cases in Aus the limit is now $200 for which you don’t need to enter a PIN to authorise the transaction. It’s just a tap.
In some cases it’s $100, which it has been for a long time. Haven’t figured out why the different amount in different places.
The card payment keypad devices are not particularly sensitive and the card insertion point is usually at or near the opposite end of the device to where you tap the card. So accidental taps wouldn’t normally occur while inserting the card.
Don’t think it’s an example of “the banks coming for us”.
Where is Big C? The devices must be far more sensitive there than the ones here.

Well, at least you amused yourself. 🤪

I was trying to avoid spelling out the banks name for legal reasons.
00
are forbidden by our bank to do tap and Go payments. When you tap and go your pin is transmitted at the same time as your card details. When you insert your card the details are sent and then when you enter pin manually the time frame between both actions separates the actions. We have been scammed for nearly two thousand by some Canadian accessing our pin and info at the same time by tapping. They start off by charging small amount per month , and with the likes of our account she thought it was me and I thought it was she. We got together when they got up to one hundred and eighty per month, and discovered the ruse. We were only refunded on the last months amount by visa. and they schooled us on the problem with tap and Go
60
Thanks for that background.
It looks cool to just tap but after experiencing the slack bank approach in recent years I’ve begun to use cash now for most transactions.
Banks don’t care about our financial security so it’s hard currency from now on.
Never used tap.
50
Don’t read too much into it KK, the banks are into saving cents per transaction and the stores are into convenience and saving time.
I’m sure the cost of making good your loss to fraud at <$100 would be well covered. Ya get that in big biz.
I'm sure fraud at retail checkouts is a piddlin' percentage that they can swallow.
11
A couple of years ago I haad about $400 of payments in small amounts (sub $100) on one of my cards, all in an area of about 15km in SW Sydney. The bank refunded to me the loss. I suspected a renting neighbour might have intercepted a replacement card in the mail and that there may be an established market for such things. Basis of suspicion was visible means of support. i.e. not appearing to match the narrative.
Recently around $2,000 was paid out by a card I don’t use much, including overseas transaction fees for an airline ticket. The bank (NAB) picked the fraud up before I did. The bank refunded the fraudulent transactions and changed the card..
10
Not sure about the pin being transmitted. I have a debit card which almost never has >$100 in it so I never set up a pin. I can tap it anyway.
10
I’m late to this conversation, but you are correct. As to using card shields, words fail me. Time for folks to research smart card transaction techniques.
00
Yes there are so many contactless high $$ usage points (and if the family has multiple accounts/cards) it is quite possible to forget (or transpose digits) on the card when you actually need to enter one.

The truth about transgender surgery… in numbers: Just 16% of gender dysphoria patients go through with the operation, but up to half suffer life-threatening complications.
The truth about transgender surgery… in numbers: Just 16% of gender dysphoria patients go through with the operation, but up to half suffer life-threatening complications.
Sex change operations have been at the center of political debate in recent years amid concerns that patients who get them are vulnerable and not fully aware of the risks.
For example, studies suggest those who are transgender are six times more likely to suffer from autism, and up to 70 percent of trans youths are depressed.

I’ve seen the skin removal for “constructive surgery” photos and anyone who’d inflict that on children needs to be prohibited by law from ever going near kids.
110
I wish they wouldn’t call them.”sex change operations”. Changing sex is a biological impossibility and reinforces the lie that a person can become a functional member of the opposite sex.
Such a procedure doesn’t change their sex and in a vast majority of cases doesn’t make them happy either.
Unfortunately large numbers of cases of transgender surgery regret and even regret about hormonal treatments are censored by Leftist-controlled media.

One would have thought life-destroying surgery to treat psychiatric conditions went out of fashion with the prefrontal lobotomy.

A few years ago we were all concerned with Somali genital mutilation – life changing surgery that prevented women from having sexual satisfaction, but now we are encouraging confused/manipulated young children to have life changing surgery that prevents them from having sexual satisfaction.

Never been a fan of politicians getting awards for doing their job. Regardless of the side of politics they’re on. They are well financially rewarded and generally about half the population doesn’t particularly like their version of politics.
Rewarding someone with an honour for basically doing their political job well implies it’s either unexpected or unnecessary for politicians to do so.
Maybe it could make a bit more sense to me if we’re willing to give a title reward to someone who supposedly did a good job that we could equally punish politicians that do a rubbish job. But I guess the judging is a bit too subjective. Unfortunately it’s not as simple as saying punishment for a bad job is getting voted out. Some are in very safe seats. Plus some get voted for based on how their leader performs. But mostly, some can really set a country or state on it’s knees or waste a lot of money etc and walk away with good rewards.

I wouldn’t even pay the fkers, they never used to be paid! Maybe give them a percentage based on the median wage of the previous year, so if they can grow the peoples’ wages they get paid, if they can’t they can starve.

The World Economic Forum is planning a major power grid and cyber attack that will cause widespread power loss, disconnecting the vast majority of Americans from the power grid and the internet, plunging the nation into unprecedented chaos for years
While the majority of the population will be left to fend for themselves in a desperate fight for survival that most will lose, those who have been designated “upgraded humans” by Davos will be saved by what the WEF is calling their “Technological Noah’s Ark.
According to the WEF, the power grid attack will leave most of the country in darkness for years, and the cyber attack will be so vast it disconnects the internet for all except those with satellite phones, plunging the nation into chaos.
It is from this chaos that a phoenix will rise from the ashes, according to the WEF insider, who explained exactly how the global elite plan to seize control of the US, removing our fundamental freedoms, and ushering in the Great Reset.

-‘ITWORLDCANADA’:
‘Diia – Ukraine implements world leading digital government in the middle of a war. What’s our excuse?’ ,
Jim Love, 16-10-2022
Ukraine has managed to implement an astonishingly comprehensive set of digital government services, with 70 key public services available, half the adult population participating, and a goal of digitizing all government services by 2024 – despite the fact that the country is fighting for its very existence in a war with Russia.
This remarkable achievement was presented to a special meeting of the CIO Strategy Council, a group of Canada’s leading CIOs and industry leaders.
Lessons Learned:
What can we in Canada learn from Ukraine?
Having the political will to overcome resistance to change by even the most powerful is something we can learn. Governments have traditionally found many reasons why they cannot simplify a process. What COVID taught us was that things we “couldn’t do”, could be done if we had the will to do it.
Security can not be an excuse for inaction. We need to demand creative solutions to enhance security without losing convenience.
Make it easy and make it entertaining. Having Eurovision finals on the government portal was entertainment, but it helped build a huge user base who were were not just engaged, they were fans.
Don’t be afraid to use large numbers of participants and legislative powers to ensure that companies and stakeholders accept the app and the standards so that more value and convenience is given to citizens.
-The Guardian:
‘Meet Diia: the Ukrainian app used to do taxes … and report Russian soldiers’ Lisa O’Carroll 26-05-2023
The app is now installed on 19m devices, 70% of all smartphones, and has become a model for governments all around the world trying to digitise services.
-‘USAID’ : 23-05-2023
‘At Diia in DC Event, U.S. Highlights U.S.-Ukraine Innovation Partnership and Launches First Phase of Countries in Digital Transformation Initiative’
“I am proud of Visa’s work with Vice Prime Minister Fedorov and Ukraine’s Ministry of Digital Transformation, in developing Diia into the groundbreaking platform it is today, and credit our collective success to USAID’s partnership and Administrator Power’s leadership in supporting e-government innovation globally,” said Alfred F. Kelly Jr., Executive Chairman, Visa.
“We believe Diia can be a model for how governments approach digital transformation, effectively leveraging public and private partnerships – and putting Visa’s unrivaled technology to work – to help bring digital access to more citizens, small businesses, and government partners around the world.”

The Financial Times:
‘Ukraine is already looking to a postwar digital future’ , Gillian Tett, 26-05-2023
This week Mykhailo Fedorov, the youthful T-shirt-wearing vice-prime minister of Ukraine, delivered a passionate speech to a packed audience in Washington. But unlike most Ukrainian delegations, he was not pleading for more aid. Instead, he had an idea to sell: a piece of digital innovation, known as DIIA, short for “state and I”.
And investors should take note. Three years ago, the digital ministry headed by Fedorov launched an app to enable citizens to perform private sector and government services on their phones. Initially, it looked like a modest tool to “fight corruption and turn Ukraine into a digital state”, as Fedorov says. During the Covid-19 pandemic, for instance, the app let Ukrainians verify their vaccination status. But its use has mushroomed to a startling degree.
The app is installed on 70 per cent of all Ukrainian phones and 19mn citizens, about half the population, regularly access the 100-odd services found on it. These include tools that give citizens the world’s first digital passport, enable them to get digital driving licences, organise construction permits, register new babies, pay taxes, make digital signatures and do banking.
More recently, features have been added that teach Ukrainians how to fly drones (and shoot them down), receive refugee payments, report the activities of Russian troops and apply for reconstruction funds when bombs destroy their homes. Indeed, the app is so effective that the US Agency for International Development, which funded part of its development with the British government, is working with Kyiv to export it.
-‘EURASIA Foundation’: 31-05-2023
‘USAID, Ukraine Ministry of Digital Transformation, and Eurasia Foundation Introduce Groundbreaking e-Governance App Diia to U.S. Audiences at Diia in DC’
At the event, Administrator Power announced that countries around the world will soon follow Diia’s lead.

Frightening.
40
Is that the 50% of Ukrainians still left in Ukraine?
40
Silly comment. Ukraine is a big country. Severe damage is limited in area.
05
“Silly comment.” 12million of 40million displaced so far, 7million have left and probably will never return.
However, apart from the usual rapists who will suck money from taxpayers everywhere to pretend to rebuild Ukraine, it will be a wasteland and unlikely to see 40million again in the foreseeable future.
Are they likely to fill it up with African and Arab immigrants?? Are there still members of Azov battalion around?
The lack of damage is testament to Putin’s restraint, he has always said he doesn’t want to destroy his brothers.
41
And whose fault is this?
Don’t answer: We all know it’s the Americans.
03
One of the many contradictions of the Left is that they claim there is no difference between mens and womens brains.
And yet, while denying there is a difference in male and female brains, contrary to what biology suggests, they are pushing the transgender agenda very heavily and thus implying that there must be a difference in brains.
141
I am 100% sure women have different circuitry, and different equipment. The trans have short circuited their system but their equipment doesn’t change naturally

Microparticle therapy reverses MS in 100% of mice, cures one third
A new study using microparticle therapy to boost the number of ‘good’ immune cells has reversed the nerve cell damage in mice with multiple sclerosis-like symptoms and cured more than a third. The finding has the potential to lead to new treatments for not only multiple sclerosis but other autoimmune diseases like type 1 diabetes.
The researchers plan to confirm the effectiveness of their novel microparticle treatment for MS with further studies, with a view to tackling type 1 diabetes, another autoimmune disease, in the near future.
The researchers believe that their treatment has the potential to treat a number of autoimmune diseases.

1. Don’t trust them. Ever. The Left can NEVER be trusted. And should never be befriended for the same reason.
2. The fact that they are suggesting to you things you want to watch (and the same is happening to me) probably means they are lulling you into a false sense of security. In critical political times such as near elections or political debates, they will subtly alter your feed to ensure you don’t see important things and you mightn’t notice the difference because you might think they have “fixed” their algorithm. Plus they will reduce the video quality to unwatchable for live feeds of conservative political events (e.g. streaming from Trump events) you are interested in.
The ONLY thing the Left are good at, apart from destroying civilisation, is propaganda, of which they are masters. Specifically they are experts at psychological warfare. The US Department of Defense definition is:
(In this case replace “hostile foreign” with “citizens'” and “national objectives” with “Leftist objectives”.)
3. Patronise non-woke, non-Leftist, free speech video and other platforms.

Interesting page. It shows the earth at various times in history.
You can fix a location and time period (0 to 750 Million years ago) and visualize the location and continents. The visualization also accounts for continental drift.

While we worry about-
“he appointment of a chief regulator who will be empowered to decide whether online content – including social media posts – is “harmful.” To do so, he will be empowered to make up his own “guidelines” without the input of parliament. The proposals will also allow fines exceeding NZ$200,000 to be levied on those who don’t comply with his ideas.”
the reality will be that bureaucratic incompetence (or unimportant bureaucrats with a grudge or a sharp sense of humour) does give us-
“Kiri Allan, Minister of Justice, reading the wrong speech to a nodding Parliament this week says it all. She was supposed to be speaking in support of the third reading of the Freedom Camping Bill, instead, she read from a speech in support of the second reading of the Self-Contained Motor Vehicles bill. Only two opposition MPs noticed the error. Minister Allan was oblivious. Her eventual excuse given to the NZ Herald: “I was handed the wrong speech.””

Australia state police commissioner apologizes to Indigenous people for police harm
Sophia Richards | Newcastle Law School, AU
MAY 9, 2023 09:53:24 AM
Chief Commissioner of Victoria Police Shane Patton Monday apologized to the Indigenous people of Victoria, Australia for harm they have experienced at the hands of Victorian police. At the Yoorrook Justice Commission (the Commission), Patton recognized and apologized “formally and reservedly” for the long history of racism, discrimination, and trauma directed towards Indigenous people by the police, including the Stolen Generation, high levels of incarceration and deaths in custody.
Patton stated he hoped this would be a “watershed moment” for police and called for “transformative,” “urgent, effective” and purpose-driven change for Victoria. In the position of chief commissioner, Patton stated he would “not tolerate bias, racism or unequal exercise of discretionary powers towards Aboriginal people.”
The creation of the commission follows the Victorian government’s announcement in July 2020 that they would create a “truth and justice process to formally recognise historic wrongs – and address ongoing injustices” in the wake of a resolution being passed by the First Peoples’ Assembly for such a process. The commission will explore both past and present injustices through a formal truth-telling process. It will then make recommendations on “healing, system reform and practical changes to laws, policy and education.”
It was also advised during Patton’s speech that Victoria police are going through official records to discover the extent of police involvement in the Stolen Generations so that accountability can be assured.

Ouch- This Canadian company-

are building this bridge in India- Complete with flash computer graphics and wonderful drawings
https://www.mcelhanney.com/project/sultanganj-bridge/
over the Ganges, one of the longest with 30 spans… and while still under construction, cracks were found in the concrete so they wanted to demolish part of it. That didn’t work as planned-

Which is the SECOND time it has collapsed.
“Under-construction Aguwani Sultanganj Ganga bridge collapsed for the second time in Bihar’s Bhagalpur. A portion of the same bridge was also collapsed in April 2022. The bridge was being built at a cost of over Rs 1700 crores.” ($AU300million)
That’s an expensive embarrassment, I’m amazed they still have it up on the McElhanney website!
