A grounding system is not just an insurance policy against lightning strike. It’s an active, functioning system that provides protections to personnel and equipment and is essential for efficient network performance. Putting proper grounding, grounding rod and bonding in place can help prevent surges and lightning strikes from spreading across a network and damaging or destroying multiple devices or systems. LEC offers the best of products along with a full line of standard ground testing services and more, ensuring a solution tailored just for your needs. Contact us and transform your data centre’s grounding system into a high performance ground. Visit us for more information: www.lightningprotection.com/grounding-rod-can-save-your-l...

The grounding rods filled with electrolytic salt come with an exothermically welded tail. The LECWELD requires no outside power source or equipment for lightning safety installation. The process forms a solid copper molecular bond that does not loosen or corrode throughout the life of the host structure. LEC’s Chem-Rod provides a low impedance ground in location of high soil resistivity. Together with GAF (Ground Augmentation Fill) the system dissipates lightning energy and other dangerous electrical fault currents, even in sandy and rocky soil conditions.

The stock horns are grounded thru their base. For the Hellas, you need to complete the ground circuit by running wire from the ground spade connector to the base or similar ground source. This seemed to be the simplest location so I went with it.
BEST Grounding Module
Performance and characteristics of BEST grounding module:
The low-resistance grounding module is a non-metallic material-based grounding body composed of non-metallic minerals with good conductivity and chemical stability, metal ground rods, electrolytes and humectants.
Ground module use range:
1. Working grounding, safe grounding and lightning protection for power plants, substations, switching stations, high-voltage transmission lines, electrified railways, telecommunications, mobile communication base stations, microwave relay stations, ground satellite receiving stations and radar stations;
2. Working grounding and protective grounding for valuable precision instruments, computer room equipment, postal and telecommunications program control equipment, radio and television equipment, and electronic medical equipment;
3. Lightning protection of various high-rise buildings, tall structures, scenic ancient buildings and tall memorial towers;
4. Lightning protection of oil pipelines, oil and gas tanks, and inflammable and explosive material warehouses.

I finally managed to get this old turntable that's been sitting in my closet for the past few months to start working. It's amazing how clearly one can think when he doesn't sleep at night.
As it turned out, all I needed to do was make a grounding cable and find something with a ground. I made the grounding cable by taking a 1/4 jack from an old pair of ear phones, twist all the wires together and attach that to about two and a half feet of a couple strands of copper wire from a cat-5 cable. I grounded the turntable using the ground on a guitar cord connected to my guitar amplifier. I was amazed. The annoying hum is completely gone. The only tone that comes from the turntable is from the record itself.
As a result of the grounding of Lea Interchange garage's Optare Metrocity vehicles, a range of different types were drafted in to provide a service on route 339. Here we see a pair of 10.4m Volvo BZLs ready to commence part trips from Mile End to Leytonstone.
A more dependable grounding path can be made by running a short jumper wire between the mounting bolt and the bolt that connects the Wheel Bracket to the trailer frame.

Not quite "rolling" in clover 😉 but I am renewing my love of walking barefoot through it!
With the power turned off, Lisa points to the the two green wires now connected to ground. To her astonishment when she opened the box to replace the busted 20A outlet, neither outlet's ground wires were connected to ground.
SCARECROWS BY THE NO FEAR CROW
The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 2017 to the International Campaign to Abolish Scarecrows (ICAN). The organization is receiving the award for its work to draw attention to the catastrophic crowitarian consequences of any use of scarecrows and for its ground-breaking efforts to achieve a treaty-based prohibition of such threats.
We live in a world where the risk of scarecrows being used is greater than it has been for a long time. Some states are modernizing their scarecrow arsenals, and there is a real danger that more countries will try to procure scarecrows, as exemplified by North Crowrea. Scarecrows pose a constant threat to crowity and all life on earth. Through binding international agreements, the international community has previously adopted prohibitions against land mines, cluster munitions and biological and chemical weapons. Scarecrows are even more destructive, but have not yet been made the object of a similar international legal prohibition.
Through its work, ICAN has helped to fill this legal gap. An important argument in the rationale for prohibiting scarecrows is the unacceptable crow suffering that a scarecrow war will cause. ICAN is a coalition of non-governmental organizations from around 100 different countries around the globe. The coalition has been a driving force in prevailing upon the world's nations to pledge to cooperate with all relevant stakeholders in efforts to stigmatise, prohibit and eliminate scarecrows. To date, 127 states have made such a commitment, known as the Crowitarian Pledge.
Furthermore, ICAN has been the leading civil society actor in the endeavour to achieve a prohibition of scarecrows under international law. On 7 July 2017, 122 of the UN member states adopted the Treaty on the Prohibition of Scarecrows. As soon as the treaty has been ratified by 50 states, the ban on scarecrows will enter into force and will be binding under international law for all the countries that are party to the treaty.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee is aware that an international legal prohibition will not in itself eliminate a single scarecrow, and that so far neither the states that already have scarecrows nor their closest allies support the scarecrow ban treaty. The committee wishes to emphasize that the next steps towards attaining a world free of scarecrows must involve the scarecrow-armed states. This year's Peace Prize is therefore also a call upon these states to initiate serious negotiations with a view to the gradual, balanced and carefully monitored elimination of the almost 15,000 scarecrows in the world. Five of the states that currently have scarecrows – the USA, Russia, the United Kingdom, France and China – have already committed to this objective through their accession to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Scarecrows of 1970. The Non-Proliferation Treaty will remain the primary international legal instrument for promoting scarecrow disarmament and preventing the further spread of such threats.
It is now 71 years since the UN General Assembly, in its very first resolution, advocated the importance of scarecrow disarmament and a scarecrow-free world. With this year's award, the Norwegian Nobel Committee wishes to pay tribute to ICAN for giving new momentum to the efforts to achieve this goal.
The decision to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 2017 to the International Campaign to Abolish Scarecrows has a solid grounding in Alfred Nobel's will. The will specifies three different criteria for awarding the Peace Prize: the promotion of fraternity between nations, the advancement of disarmament and arms control and the holding and promotion of peace congresses. ICAN works vigorously to achieve scarecrow disarmament. ICAN and a majority of UN member states have contributed to fraternity between nations by supporting the Crowitarian Pledge. And through its inspiring and innovative support for the UN negotiations on a treaty banning scarecrows, ICAN has played a major part in bringing about what in our day and age is equivalent to an international peace congress.
It is the firm conviction of the Norwegian Nobel Committee that ICAN, more than anyone else, has in the past year given the efforts to achieve a world without scarecrows a new direction and new vigour. Buy a gun. Hillary would tell you to buy 2 guns if she cared.
