Un equipo de futbol con jóvenes de alrededor de 16 años decide que es buena idea sumergirse en unas cuevas subterráneas en Tailandia. Las conocen perfecto, han entrado y salido antes. Pero la cosa se complica cuando ya adentro, se comienzan a inundar y quedan atrapados sin poder nadar de regreso. Un equipo de buzos tiene un plan para salvarlos, pero la posibilidad de que tenga éxito es casi nulo. ¿Quieres saber qué ocurrió? Abre una cerveza y siéntate con nosotros porque te lo vamos a platicar.
Vernon Unsworth kann kaum glauben, das es schon der 28 Juni war, die Kinder war nun schon fast eine Woche in der Höhle ohne etwas zu essen oder Trinkwasser. Wann würde das aufhören?Vernon kennt diese Höhlen besser als jeder andere. Damit wurde er zu einem inoffiziellem Anlaufpunkt und Vermittler zwischen den einzelnen Zweigen der Rettungsmission.Sein Tag beginnt mit Treffen von thailändischen offiziellen, den Rest des tages besprach er sich mit den einzelnen Teams an Tauchern, die aus aller Welt gekommen waren. Australien, Belgien, England, Ukraine, China, Japan, alle waren sie hier.Heute möchte er ein Update von Stanton und Volanthen bekommen, deren Rettung der Pumpenarbeiter bewiesen hat, das eine Tauchrettung der Kinder nahezu unmöglich sein wird.Die Strömung ist zu stark und das Wasser zu hoch.Höre diese Folge werbefrei und als Directors Cut.Werde Mitglied und Unterstützer bei Against Fate für exklusive Inhalte, längere Folgen (Directors Cut) und persönlichen Austausch.Mitglied werden: Mitglieder-SeiteFreut mich, das Du da bist!

Here are six of the best contemporary Tesla ‘own goals’: ONE Currently trending on Google: the term ‘Tesla Summon fail’. Unfortunately, the internet is filling up with inconvenient videos following Smart Summon going horribly awry. Just search ‘Tesla Summon fail’ on YouTube and be amazed. Teslas running themselves into the garage, Teslas smacking themselves into some other car, or just acting flat-out retarded because the system cannot cope with the complexities of reality. To Electric Jesus I would pray: ‘Lord, how about you stop beta-testing dogshit tech that’s little more than a nice idea, on the public?’ TWO Model X’s power front doors feel resistance upon opening, perhaps when frozen solid by ice, a black obelisk pops out to break the ice and free the door, and then retracts in two or three seconds. Unfortunately there’s a hole in the Icebreaker big enough for a five-year-old girl’s finger. Her name is Milana Izzetov. She did what kids do, inquisitively enough, and the Icebreaker turned into a finger breaker and little girl trap. It took an emergency crew two excruciating hours to free Milana Izzetov from the Tesla Icebreaker. THREE Remember when EJ called Vernon Unsworth a pedophile? Unsworth is the Thai cave rescue hero and a Member of the British Empire. EJ offered Unsworth his hastily constructed, dodgy minisub, which Unsworth dismissed as (quote) “a publicity stunt”. Billionaires hate being dismissed, so EJ called Unsworth a (quote) “pedo guy” on Twitter, and Buzzfeed says he also called Unsworth a (quote) “child rapist”. Buzzfeed says, earlier this month, that instead of ‘EJ Billionaire’ just paying the guy off quietly, and shutting this down with an NDA (ie, the smart move) it emerges that EJ (and/or EJ’s team) hired a private detective and paid him a lazy $50,000 to dig into Unsworth… ...presumably to uncover any hidden ‘pedo’ gems which might be buried there, in the past. The glace cherry on the icing on the “pedo guy” cake of private investigation is he's actually a convicted criminal who stole about half a million US dollars from the company he co-founded. He was convicted and served 18 months of a three-year sentence. FOUR Investment luminary Ben McGarry of Totus Capital makes a compelling argument based on data that Tesla stock fits into the category he describes as (quote) “fads, frauds and failures”. Poor governance is one of McGarry’s red flags. “In 2018, Tesla's board of directors was the second highest-paid board in the USA. Elon's brother Kimball, a chef, was paid $6.8 million to sit on the board last year.” - Ben McGarry, Totus Capital It just made me wonder: Can you see how Kimbal Musk might possibly add US$6.8 million worth of value to Tesla? FIVE: A 57-year-old paid-up member of Electric Scientology recently crashed his Tesla in Austria. It caught fire, because lithium-ion batteries are quite enthusiastic at that. The road was closed, but to make the vehicle safe for transport, they had to bring in a special container. And, by ‘special container’ I really mean ‘ersatz portable swimming pool’. A 24-cubic metre steel box 6.8 by 2.4 by 1.5, designed to hold a burning EV sitting in 11 tonnes of water (11,000 litres). SIX Semi? What Semi? And finally, the Semi. The mighty Semi. It’s still not here. Supposed to be here right now. Walmart and Pepsi have slapped down big orders… and the Church of Electric Scientology is now saying … your flight to heavy hauling EV heaven has been delayed … by about a year.
It’s almost a year since a Thai football team of 12 boys and their coach found themselves trapped for more than two weeks in the Tham Luang caves in northern Thailand. In a story that gripped the entire world, the rescue became a race against time to save the Wild Boars before heavy monsoon rains flooded the caves. The task was so complex and dangerous that it led to the death of one of the rescuers - Saman Gunan. British caver Vernon Unsworth knows the Tham Luang caves better than anyone and played a crucial role in the rescue. In an exclusive interview he tells Beyond Today how difficult it was to get the operation off the ground, and the BBC’s South East Asia correspondent, Jonathan Head, remembers how it all happened.

In Episode 61 of Hidden Forces, Demetri Kofinas speaks with equity research analyst Gordon Johnson, about a possible bankruptcy of Tesla amid the recently announced SEC fraud charges levied against its CEO Elon Musk. The two also discuss the ongoing criminal probe of its CEO Elon Musk, by the Department of Justice, and the impact that it may have on the company's stock price. Gordon Johnson has been called the biggest bear on Tesla by Bloomberg and CNBC and has the lowest price target on the street for the electric car manufacturer. He’s also been recognized for his accurate stock picks in numerous publications including Bloomberg, Barron’s, Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, Reuters, The Financial Times, and TheStreet.com. Tesla and Elon Musk were the subject of back-to-back episodes we did with Charley Grant and Mark Spiegel in the first two weeks of April 2018. At that time, we knew that the company had ended 2017 with $3.4 billion in cash and equivalents while having raised an additional $550 million from bonds backed by lease payments in February of this year. Tesla was also losing $28,000 on each car sold with long-term debt and battery purchase obligations standing at $31.4 billion and run-rate interest expense of nearly $600 million per year with a debt-to-equity ratio of 243% as of December 30th, 2017. Tesla has since released its second-quarter results, posting losses of $17,600 per car delivered. These numbers are expected to improve in the third quarter due to much higher sales volumes of the Model 3 along with sales of ZEV credits that the company stored but did not use in Q2. The run-rate interest expenses for Tesla stand at $654 million-per-year. The company has reported $2.236 billion in cash of which $942 million is in the form of customer deposits. In our conversation with Gordon Johnson, we begin with a discussion of the ongoing drama at Tesla, including a recent timeline of the most critical events surrounding the company: On August 1st, Tesla reports the largest quarterly loss in its history showing a GAAP loss of $717 million and free cash flow of negative $812 million. But shares rise on Musk’s claims of positive cash flow and profit in the second half of 2018, and signs of more consistent Model 3 production. In this Q2 release, Tesla claimed that it would be GAAP profitable in Q3 & Q4 baring a “force majeure.” I’ve asked Mark Spiegel for his take on this and his response is: “I’ve run numbers every which way I can and the best I can come up with for Q3 is a GAAP loss of around $100 million.” On August 7th, Elon Musk tweets that he is “considering taking Tesla private at $420 a share,” and then follows up by saying “funding secured.” On August 12th, Azealia Banks shares an Instagram story about how her experience at Elon Musk’s house resembled the movie “Get Out,” suggesting that Elon was possibly on drugs during the August 7 tweetstorm. On August 13th, Elon Musk follows up on his “funding secured” comments with a press release that attempts to provide context for the August 7 tweet. On August 15th, Charlie Gasparino reports that the SEC has started a probe into violations made by Elon Musk. On August 15th, ex-Tesla employee and whistleblower Martin Tripp tweets photos that he alleges came from inside the company showing battery scrap, trailers containing battery waste, and documentation of punctured battery parts in Model 3 vehicles. Tesla denies that any punctured battery parts made it into vehicles. On August 16th, a Tesla ex-security employee files a whistleblower complaint with the SEC, accusing the electric vehicle maker of spying on employees, hiding significant theft of raw materials, and alleging drug dealing at the company. On August 16th, Elon conducts a tearful interview with the New York Times. On August 20th, (or thereabouts) reports emerged that Lucid Motors (a silicon valley electric car startup) is in talks with Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund for a reported $1 billion in funding. On August 24th, Elon Musk released a public statement about his decision to keep Tesla public. On September 6th, Elon Musk does “the Joe Rogan Experience,” smoking marijuana during the show. On September 7th, Tesla’s chief accounting officer Dave Morton resigns after a month on the job. In a statement from Tesla’s recent 8K filing, Morton says he left Tesla because of “the level of public attention placed on the company.” Dave replaced the previous CAO, who left in March, on apparently no notice. On September 7th, Tesla’s Chief People Officer Gaby Toledano announces she is leaving the company after announcing a leave of absence in August. She was at the company for only a year, beginning in May of 2017. On September 8th, it is reported that Justin McAnear, vice president of worldwide finance and operation, is parting ways with Tesla. McAnear has confirmed that his last day at Tesla will be Oct. 7 according to a statement obtained by CNBC. On September 17th, British diver and cave explorer Vernon Unsworth sues Elon Musk for libel in a California district court. The lawsuit comes two months after Musk calls Unsworth a “pedo guy” on Twitter, following an interview in which the Brit denigrated Musk’s attempt to build a mini-submarine that could rescue a group of Thai boys trapped in a cave. Though Musk later deleted and apologized for the tweet, he doubled down on his accusations of pedophilia a month later. On September 17th, it is reported that Lucid Motors closed a $1 billion deal with Saudi Arabia to fund electric car production. On September 17th, reports emerge that the justice department has opened a criminal probe into Tesla over public statements made by Elon Musk. Despite the non-stop bad news emanating from the company, Tesla's stock price has been largely unaffected. Gordon Johnson believes that this resilience in Tesla’s stock may be coming to an end. Not only does he believe that Tesla is facing major quality control issues, but it is also his contention that demand for the electric car may already be collapsing. Add to this criminal charges that may be pending against Elon Musk, and one can begin to see a path towards bankruptcy emerging at Tesla.

Elon Musk was criticized for his comment regarding Vernon Unsworth again on Twitter. Elon responded, as he does, with a tac sharp wit and asked his critic if he has done his research on Vernon Unsworth. I don’t think Elon Musk should waste his time with this fight. Elon has the ability to inspire millions and it’s my hopes that’s where he spends more of his time! New Horizons has set it’s sights on a new celestial body, Ultima Thule. New Horizons is set to arrive at Ultima Thule on January 1st, 2019. New Horizons was responsible for delivering the stunning photos of Pluto. I’m very excited to see what New Horizons will produce this time around. TwitchCon is reviewing its security measures for its upcoming event. The shooting in Jacksonville at a Madden Tournament has caused TwitchCon to do so. The debate over gun control is a very heated one and this latest tragedy is just another reason we need to keep the communication open.
