JonBenét Ramsey's Murder Site

At around 1:00 p.m. on December 26, 1996, the lifeless body of JonBenét Ramsey was discovered by her father in the basement of their family home. The 6 year old pageant queen had been violently struck in the head resulting in a shattered skull, then strangled with an apparatus created from a cord and the broken handle of a paintbrush. While no overt signs of sexual assault were uncovered, it was noted that JonBenét’s vagina had been wiped with a cloth of some sort. The official cause of death was determined to be “asphyxia by strangulation associated with craniocerebral trauma.”
Upon investigation of the home, detectives found no signs of forced entry. What’s more, evidence suggested that the 2 1/2-page ransom note discovered by JonBenét’s mother — Patsy Ramsey — had not only been composed within the household, but was preceded by a draft found in a nearby wastebasket. Despite the letter’s request for $118,000 (a number almost identical to the bonus JonBenét’s father had recently received) and the instruction to refrain from contacting police or family, no one ever surfaced to claim the ransom money and Patsy Ramsey notified authorities and family & friends almost immediately.
Although more than 1,600 persons of interest had been documented by 1997 — JonBenét’s mother and father included — her murder remains unsolved today. However, several sturdy theories do exist. One of which points at JonBenét’s brother Burke as the murderer (he was never formally considered a suspect), ostensibly making JonBenét’s parents responsible for both the ransom note and the majority of the cover up.
The Ramseys purchased the house, then known as 755 15th St., for $500,000 in 1991. In 1998, the Ramseys sold the house for $650,000 to a group of investors. Tim Milner and his wife, Carol Schuller Milner, the daughter of “Hour of Power” televangelist Robert H. Schuller, purchased the home for $1.05 Million in 2004 and they tried to sell the home numerous times from 2011 to 2016 with the price being between $2.3 Million and $1.9 Million. It was relisted in March 2023 for $7 Million.

The Table Mountain National Radio Quiet Zone (NRQZ), located north of Boulder, Colorado is designated as an area where the magnitude of undesirable radio waves is restricted to minimize radio frequency interference on highly sensitive research projects.
Transmissions observed at Table Mountain include radio emissions from satellites, solar noise, and other radio astronomical sources. Work performed at the site provides information on radio propagation factors affecting the use of radio systems. The emphasis of the research work at Table Mountain is on long-range radio transmission problems and wave propagation studies.
The facilities at the site include two 60-foot satellite dishes. These structures are designed to accommodate temporary research projects, including radio astronomy and reception of weak satellite signals.

Kugel ball globe

By: daggerwell.
A Kugel ball is a sculpture consisting of a large granite ball supported by a very thin film of water. Water flows beneath a very heavy, perfectly spherical rock from a spherical concave base with exactly the same curvature. A Kugel ball can weigh thousands of pounds, but because the thin film of water lubricates it, the ball spins.
