L'incredibile storia di William Rankin, l'uomo che fu costretto a lanciarsi dal suo jet militare ad una altezza mai sperimentata prima, senza alcuna protezione. Non solo: sotto di lui, una delle tempeste più violente mai registrate negli Stati Uniti fino a quel momento...Chi era il tenente colonnello Rankin, e perchè si trovava lì? Per quale motivo dovette lanciarsi? E cosa accadde durante e dopo il lancio?

William Rankin was flying an F-8 Crusader jet fighter on July 26th, 1959.  During the flight, the engine stopped, and a fire warning light flashed.  He was forced to eject and parachute into a cloud, where he got stuck in a thunderstorm.  He suffered severe decompression which casued his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth to bleed.  William was stuck in the storm for 40 minutes, but he survived the experience.Website: https://www.drinkingthecoolaid.com/Linktree: https://linktr.ee/drinkingthecoolaidSupport the show: https://paypal.me/mhawk7?country.x=US&locale.x=en_USRESOURCESThe Man Who Rode the Thunder: Rankin, William H.: 9780135482711: Amazon.com: Books Pressure suit - Wikipedia HEROES: The Nightmare Fall - TIME Support the show

Welcome to SEASON 2 of AirSpace! We’re back with more stories that defy gravity, and in this exciting episode, we’ll hear about one man’s terrifying ordeal trying to get back down to the ground. Longtime listeners know that bailing out of an airplane is a last resort that pilots take very seriously. But what happens when you unwittingly eject straight into a thundercloud? The already-harrowing journey to safe ground becomes a rollercoaster of howling wind, pounding hail and deafening thunderclaps. Emily, Matt, and Nick will talk to experts who know just how dangerous cumulonimbus clouds can be, and explore the story of William Rankin, who found out firsthand.

Andrew Webb meets teachers, thought leaders, scientists and students and explores the future of education, making and technology. Episode 1 is about 'change' in the classroom, both the rate of it, and lack of it.

Policymakers and the public clamored for maps throughout the first half of the twentieth century. Indeed, maps were a necessity for war, navigation, and countless other activities. Yet by the 1960s and 1970s, interest in maps waned while electronic coordinate systems emerged. But this was not solely a shift in technology, as William Rankin writes in After the Map: Cartography, Navigation, and the Transformation of Territory in the Twentieth Century (University of Chicago Press, 2016). The shift from maps to coordinate systems, and then eventually to GPS produced novel geographical subjectivities, navigational experiences and geopolitical arrangements. It was a shift in the meaning of territory itself. By day, William Rankin is an assistant professor of history at Yale; by night, he is an award-winning cartographer, whose work you can find here. Rankin has also set up a website to accompany the book, at which readers can see the books images, data, and bibliography.

William Rankin, assistant professor of the history of science at Yale University, explores the links between roadside surveying markers, nuclear missile targeting, and new forms of mapping in the twentieth century. His talk will focus on the grid-like alternatives to latitude and longitude that were created during and after the World Wars, especially the global system installed by the US Army. For soldiers, engineers, and homeowners alike, these invisible but now ubiquitous technologies blurred the line between the paper map and the real world and made it possible to treat the spherical earth as perfectly flat. This was part of the Trent Dames Lecture series.

How will education adapt to a world where using powerful, always-connected, mobile devices like iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad is becoming increasingly instinctive for both students and faculty? In this short exploration, Abilene Christian University's Dr. William Rankin presents not only a rationale for embracing these devices as educational tools, but also a description of how they're reshaping teaching and learning at ACU.

It's easy to see books as an essential tool for education, and easy to be concerned as new technologies challenge our understanding of the role they play in teaching and learning. In this brief presentation, delivered prior to Apple's recent announcement of iBooks 2 and iBooks Author, Abilene Christian University's Dr. William Rankin presents a brief history of books, working to explore some of the challenges, opportunities, and possible future directions presented by a new generation of digital texts.
