The Hans Egede was a three masted schooner built in Denmark in 1922 and named after a Norwegian Lutheran missionary known as the Apostle of Greenland after he travelled there and converted Innuit people to Christianity. The ship saw varied service, including work as a coal/grain hulk on the Medway. Eventually, while being towed, the weakened structure began taking on water and, after grounding on Blythe Sands, it was beached adjacent to Cliffe Fort to avoid it sinking in the middle of the river.

I learned of this method of grounding a SON dynohub from a photo in JP Weigle's Flickr:

My mechanical skills are very primitive and I know next to nothing about electronics.
The funny looking pliers are called safety wire twisters. Safety wire is stainless steel and comes in different diameters; I used 0.025" and it was very easy to work with.
Sinking and grounding, following and guiding the energy, movement and stillness - basic Qi Gong practice.

from "eat, taste, heal". really good for vata imbalances. the nuts, seeds, and sweet sugary dates are very grounding and delicious!
The last few days we have had severe flooding in most parts of the U.K. and in North Wales
We live up on a bit of a hill, But we still had minor flooding at the rear garden! This provided excellent HF Grounding around my Aerial system and i managed to work a station on CW shortwave in Antarctica!

Went to the fortune teller - To have my fortune read
After an unexpectedly happy day at school, Paradise is walking into the boardwalk district with Amber.)
Paradise: I hope Champagne's not too mad that I couldn't get a ride with her. My mom said I had to walk straight to the gallery after school, and I don't need another week of grounding.
Amber: It's good for Champagne to get a taste of actual family life now and then. Hey, let's cut across Green Dive.
Paradise: What if we run into a drunk?
Amber: We'd probably knock him down if we did.
Paradise: (giggles) You're stupid.
Amber: (grinning) Come on. If we make good time we might be able to grab ice cream on the way.
Paradise: Okay, but I'm getting a dish, not a cone. I don't want anything happening to this dress.
(The friends hurry up the stairs and onto the pier where the Green Dive perches.
999 on the Oldies station: And she looked into her crystal ball)
Amber: Hey, what's that?
(She points to their left, where the pier ends, overlooking the narrow arm of water that curves in from the bay . Sunlight sparkles brightly on the water, backlighting a tall rectangle of darkness standing just before the ropes that would, theoretically, prevent someone from tumbling into the water.)
Paradise: Looks like a big box. (as they approach it) Maybe a packing crate?
Amber: I wonder if it's a delivery for Green Dive? Hey, we could get our drink on.
Paradise: (makes a face) We're not stealing booze, and we're not drinking it either. I've seen too many vids of girls passing out and puking on themselves, peeing themselves, and getting groped by pervs. My mom says that losing control means giving control to the people around you. So, unless you trust them with your dignity and your life, don't lose control.
(999 on the Oldies station: Much to my big surprise)
Amber: Your mom just ruined a lot of things, for me. So did you, with that whole, peeing, puking thing. I mean, gross mental image.
Paradise: It's not a shipping crate. Oh, hey, it's a arcade game.
Amber: (standing beside Paradise, reads aloud the stylized logo) Holo Fortuna. (and below, in small letters, inscribed in the wood) Secrets Revealed.
Paradise: It's one of those coin fortune tellers. Listen to this; (reading from a bronze plate below the window) The first A.I., hologram fortune teller. Holo Fortuna sees all. Do you dare to have your secrets revealed? Insert a quarter and speak your question. One question per quarter, please.
Amber: (standing on tiptoe and peering into the curtained booth) There isn't even one of those mechanical dummies inside. Maybe it's not all put together yet.
Paradise: It's a hologram. There wouldn't be a mannequin. (she gets a quarter from her change purse)
Amber: You're not seriously going to try this thing? They're total rip-offs.
Paradise: I think I can afford to throw away a quarter. (she lays the quarter on the slide tray and pushes it into the slot)
(999 on the Oldies station: The fortune teller told me lies
There's a click, a whir of well-oiled machinery followed by a tinkling of wind chimes -- inside the booth, a mist seems to form, and out of the mist, the shape of a woman appears, Holo Fortuna. But she doesn't look like the stereotypical gypsy, she's clad in a leather or vinyl bodysuit, sporting a short, mod bob.)
Amber: Cool effects.
HF: (her mouth moves and her voice emerges from a speaker) I'm sorry, Holo Fortuna did not understand your question.
Paradise: (makes a shushing motion to Amber) Will I marry Tyler Griffin?
Amber: (rolls her eyes) You're seriously going to ask--
Paradise: Shh!
HF: Yes. (and she vanishes)
Paradise/Amber: What?
Amber: Where's the mumbo jumbo? The mystic prophecy that can be interpreted a hundred different ways?
Paradise: She said, yes!
Amber: You can't just say, yes.
Paradise: But she did!
(999 on the Oldies station: How she made a fool out of me)
Amber: Calm down, this thing is just a machine, and it's probably not working right.
Paradise: Why don't YOU ask it something?
Amber: I will. (shaking her head and inserting a quarter) Just blurting out, yes, like that. Stupid.
HF: (there's a click, a whir of well-oiled machinery followed by a tinkling of wind chimes -- inside the booth, a mist seems to form, and out of the mist, the woman appears again) Speak your question and Holo Fortuna will speak the answer.
Amber: Will I become a successful artist?
HF: (blinks) Monetarily, yes. Emotionally, no. (and she vanishes)
Amber: What the hell did that mean?
Paradise: I guess you're going to make a lot of money.
Amber: That should make me happy. So, why didn't it sound like I was going to be happy? (she knocked on the glass) Hey! What was that emotional crack about?
(999 on the Oldies station: At last something shook me)
Paradise: Amber, it's a machine, remember?
Amber: Yeah, but that's not cool to say. Tourists aren't going to like hearing bad things. And drunk tourists will like it even less.
Paradise: Well, we can't go inside the bar and ask. Why don't we ask my mom about it? Maybe she knows who set it up, and if it's malfunctioning.
Amber: Yeah, okay. (glares at the fortune telling booth) Money WILL make me happy.
(999 on the Oldies station: And now the fortune teller - And I fell in love)
Thank you to the cast!
Paradise: Kes R
Amber: Kes M

The MTR West Rail Line links urban Hong Kong to the New Towns located in the western half of the New Territories.
4470. Debris still swirls through the sky above the distressed frigate. She is now on the West Beach sandbanks but daylight shows the remaining crew's efforts during the wild night to secure the ship upright have been met with success.
In the circumstances it looks like a quite seaman-like effort.

Crigglestone All Blacks defenders about to prevent an Odsal Sedbergh opponent grounding the ball over their line during a Division Four fixture in amateur rugby league's Yorkshire League. Hosts Odsal, playing in the first half down Odsal Village Green's prodigious north-south slope, led 22-0 after 29 minutes. Torrential rain and high wind, which had eased before kick-off, then returned, affecting adversely the quality of the rugby. Three players, two from Odsal, visited the sin bin during an ill-tempered second half. Odsal ran in seven tries and kicked four conversions as they recorded a third league victory of 2019. Defeat in a third-bottom versus bottom encounter leaves Crigg without a win in any of the nine league games they have played this season.

The "Longone" already stripped four days after it's grounding on the rocks of Spirit's Bay, NZ.
According to the Northland Ages report on January 28th, 2010:
While the owner of this yacht tried to deliver people to the Spirits Bay Beach, gusty winds and a large swell sealed the fate of "The Longone".
And to add insult to injury, only one person on the beach offered assistance. No sooner was the yacht grounded on the rocks, did other by-standers immediately start looting. Taking anything from electronics to clothing and food. The paper goes on to compare the looters like locusts grabbing everything.
No one was injured and the yacht was insured and this is the important thing.
Another story was published in the same newspaper on February 7, 2010 with another side to the story from people on the beach. There is now contradiction to the original story and the chain of events.
Both stories can be read at the following links, you can decide for yourself.

Engine failure followed by grounding on a deserted island !!! They must have thought that they were shipwrecked with the prospect of being marooned there for weeks but help was at hand and the drama was quickly resolved !!!

Buttom Loading Systems has the function of static discharging and overfill prevention and is to be used in the loading system of liquid chemical products. It can be interlocked with automatic control system, when the liquid level reaches the sensor or there is ineffective grounding, it will give out acousto-optic alarm and output signal to stop the valve and pump to prevent overfill and ensure static grounding
