In this video, we are going to go over the problems with today's modern #space #suits and why the leading manufacturer for the #Artemis missions pulled out. We will be reviewing a few comments that were made about this.
#moon #moonhoax was an #insidejob
We will then take a closer look at shadows changing direction 180 degrees within the same number of frames which is impossible on a reasonably flat surface when the sun is suppose to be the only thing that is illuminating the entire area.
Lastly, we will be reviewing #how the rover's sun dial functions and the fact that it is not a #compass as some have indicated.
We hope that you will enjoy this presentation!
As it's a #BankHoliday #weekend, we went on a hike on #Dartmoor. I planned it to be a visit to somewhere I hadn't been before but starting off from a familiar location. In total, the excursion was 18 km of walking and took the best part of 6 hours with all the stops and breaks. As anyone who has walked here before knows, it's not to be done without preparation and having a good #map and #compass with you is vital. Mobile phone reception is patchy at best and so I rely on a paper map and the tried-and-tested method of #DeadReckoning. Essentials include a pair of good quality #WalkingBoots, #WaterProof clothing available and you should always prepare to be colder than you would be in town. As the terrain is quite rough and the vegetation can be thorny along with the presence of insects, #Shorts are not recommended unless you're happy to have grazes and bites by the end of the trip. The elevation is between 400-500 m above sea level and it is one of the wettest places in #England. It is also exposed to high winds.
The start of the journey was easy enough, just a short climb up to a #Cairn.
Until you join a #path or #bridleway, you have to negotiate #gorse which, if you're not careful, could easily mean a twisted ankle. However, the wild #flowers are very colourful. You can also see part of #FernworthyForest in the background, which is where we were headed.
On the way to our first target, there were some #Neolithic artefacts such as these #StandingStones. There are some wild #DartmoorPonies in the background and I took a zoomed-in image of one of the ponies -- it's best not to get too close to them.
The first destination on the itinerary was #FernworthyReservoir. It has a #MasonryDam, which is not a common form of #Dam, most being concrete or earth (embankment) dams in the #UK. There is a another one in Dartmoor and so I'm guessing there was a trend to build such types at the beginning of the twentieth century, which is when I happen to know the other one was built. Neither the dam nor the #reservoir are very big but they do provide water for nearby populations.
The surface of the reservoir was quite choppy owing to the windy conditions. Also, the level was near the maximum and right up to spillway at the centre of the dam.
Fernworthy Forest is a #conifer forest, which I think is not natural, rather being there to provide timber. There are many track through it but none are marked and so the only way to find out which way you're going is to use a compass. I was uncertain of my precise location after a while but I knew that if we kept heading in a westerly direction, we'd eventually get to the other side.
Once out of the forest, it was a matter of heading south towards the main road. The weather forecast was spot on and it started to rain right on cue. Once over a rise, eventually we found a bridleway down.
Once we passed this #StoneCircle, I knew we were on the right track as it's marked on the #OSMap. The journey from there was quite straightforward, although still another 5-6 km to go.
The last leg of the journey was on a main road, without a separate footpath but just before getting onto that, I looked at the path we'd taken and also to the other side of Dartmoor.

De Inspectie beschermt vooral de minister, niet de patiënt
Follow the Money
Duidelijk. Onafhankelijk. Eerlijk. Zo vat de Inspectie Gezondheidszorg en Jeugd haar toezicht op de zorg samen. Die onafhankelijkheid blijkt in de praktijk een wassen neus, want achter de schermen heeft het ministerie van VWS verregaande invloed op de dienst. ‘De werkwijze is erop gericht de minister niet in de problemen te brengen.’
Dit stuk in 1 minuut
- De Inspectie Gezondheidszorg en Jeugd (IGJ) bewaakt namens de overheid de veiligheid en kwaliteit van de zorg. De toezichthouder claimt onafhankelijk te oordelen, maar achter de schermen heeft het ministerie van VWS allerlei manieren om invloed uit te oefenen.
- Zo bepaalt VWS de hoogte van het inspectiebudget en moet het de plannen van de Inspectie goedkeuren. Op belangrijke rapporten geeft het ministerie commentaar en vraagt om uitstel of afstel van publicaties. In hoeverre de Inspectie buigt onder politieke druk, is niet controleerbaar.
- Volgens oud-medewerkers van de Inspectie prevaleren politieke belangen boven die van de patiënt. Zij beschrijven hoe de onafhankelijke cultuur bij de Inspectie in de loop der jaren plaatsmaakte voor een ambtelijke slaafsheid. Het werk richtte zich steeds meer op het uit de wind houden van de minister.
- Ook andere inspecties, zoals de Arbeidsinspectie of de NVWA, hebben een innige band met ‘hun’ ministeries. Ruim een jaar geleden stemde een meerderheid van de Tweede Kamer om onafhankelijkheid wettelijk vast te leggen. Er is nog niets veranderd: de overheid lijkt geen afstand te willen doen van haar toezichthouders aan de lijn.
