Photos from Facebook from a guy who teaches a storm class here in Oklahoma.

Wrapping up Twisters opening weekend with one more behind the scenes memory.

In April, 2023, we were approached by the Twisters production office about doing a storm spotter class for the cast and crew. As we talked about the class, I asked them if they wanted 1) a storm spotter class; 2) a weather class with info to help actors with their roles in the movie; or 3) a tornado safety class to help everyone new to Oklahoma in springtime. The answer was yes - we want all three.

On May 3rd, 2023, we hosted nine of the cast and nine crew members for the training. It didn't really have a name, but I've heard someone refer to it as Tornado Bootcamp or Tornadoes 101. We started around 8am and it lasted two hours.

I covered Oklahoma tornado culture to illustrate how big of a deal tornadoes are to the people who live here, covering everything from Saturday siren tests to IPAs named after weather terms to TV meteorologist drinking games and bingo cards to storm anxiety and PTSD. I talked about the Twister effect, which saw meteorology school enrollments double or triple in some cases after Twister came out. I did some basic storm spotter training and a little severe weather meteorology, and wrapped up with tornado safety (including a slide illustrating how it was not safe to shelter under a wooden bridge or by strapping yourself to a pipe using screen grabs from Twister.)

The class was very interactive. Daisy Edgar Jones and Glen Powell sat front row center and Daisy had her notebook and took notes the entire time. I got really good questions from the class and I could tell they were genuinely interested.

We followed up the class with an extended tour/visit to SPC and the WFO, with a lot more great questions and discussion. We ended the visit talking vehicles and technology with Sean Waugh. I think some of them would have stayed all day if they had been able to.

[angria]

Damn, today was a day. A good day, but just a lot.

Had a surprise ICE drill at placement this morning (what we would do at the health center in the event ICE shows up for a patient). A told me later how impressed she was over how I took charge of the situation, blocking them (coworkers who were pretending) from entering the building (our office is on private property vs. at the front clinic so they legally need a signed warrant to enter). We joked how I jumped into action as a trauma response, but I said I feel protective. Once I go into that mode, I'm focused and will not let harm come to someone. But, it was definitely dysregulating, even knowing it was a drill.

Then had a good supervision after feeling bad from last week's meeting. Was able to talk it through with A about the internal dialogue that happened. Afterwards, she looked at me and said, "There is nothing you could ever do that would would disappoint me or change our relationship (other than driving into a crowd or something). We have a strong rapport and can work it together. I'm safe and will be here. I'm not going anywhere." I just started crying after she said that. And I handled the second RJ training much better than last week. Brought my playdoh and moved more so I wouldn't get dissociative and was able to stay present. So that made me feel better.

Last vestry meeting tonight (WOO) and W announced to the group that I'm the new admin at St. P's (hence why I'm stepping down from vestry). Everyone clapped and said this will be a good fit (apparently the current admin was let go?? I didn't realize she wasn't working out). I said I was telling spc tomorrow and they all wished me luck. Overall, a good last meeting.

And to round out the day....got my paper I was worried about back and did well on it! The prof even wrote, "Excellent job E. It was nice to read analysis that went beyond expectations and incorporated learning from your full studies. That's a mark of an excellent social worker!" Like holy shit?!? Was not anticipating that. Screenshot her comment so I can remember when I start cycling through the negative narrative of being incompetent and questioning who am I to be a social worker when I'm this fucked up. Like oh hey, I can actually do this....

SCP#: AJT

Code Name: Second Piece of the [data expunged]

Object Class: Neutralized

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-AJT remains where contained at Site-AA within one of the Keter Storage Units in the lower levels. Only Site Director James, Administrative Staff, and AFA-3 units to the design of Site Director James command are allowed in this level.

The remains of SCP-AJT are stored in a frequency isolation box that is placed inside a safe with a Cavafy Reality Concealment Engine to prevent anyone who is not within the Foundation from comprehending its existence. Only Site Director James and anyone she has approved is capable of comprehending its existence with a specialized drug that only lasts for 5 hours. Anyone not on her personal list that has this drug in their system is to be executed, there will be no exceptions.

Description: SCP-AJT at the time of activation was a strange blob-like monster that took on the form of a short and bald humanoid. However, it originally did not stand like a humanoid but instead placed its arms and legs at the ends of two cylinder-like stones. It seemingly uses these stones specifically to crush tiny creatures. What makes SCP-AJT even more anomalous is that despite being physical, it seems to be connected to another reality. Anyone in our reality can see, hear, and interact with it but none of our scanning technology is able to detect its existence. Not even a Hume level scanner can detect its presence. How this is possible is not well understood. 

Though it is believed to be related to its connection to the [Data Expunged by Order of the O5 Council], which is an Entity of Interest recently labeled as a Level 5 Threat. SCP-AJT was confirmed to be related to this entity when it was discovered to have great hostility to SCP-AEK. A notable trait to all entities related to the [Data Expunged by Order of the O5 Council] is their small size and great hostility towards SPC-AEK. 

SCP-AEK was discovered in 2004 after Site Director James took the SCP-AEK instances out for training. She took them to an area where there was an abundance of SCP-AEW-Alpha and Omega instances reported. She went there with a personal MTF security guard that seemed unnecessary but was insisted on by the O5 Council. Her SCP-AEK instances successfully managed to kill all the SCP-AEK instances however suddenly from the water SCP-AJT appeared and nearly wiped out the SCP-AEK instances due to no one paying attention and their scanners not going off. Shockingly all Site Director James had to do was stomp a lot and SCP-AJT was quickly weakened long enough for her security to take the cylinder stones SCP-AJT rolled on. Afterwards her SCP-AEK instances were able to easily kill what remained.

“Okay I know that was anticlimactic but let me remind you we have evidence that the [Data Expunged by Order of the O5 Council] exists and destroyed the world at least once. It started off weak but because everyone ignored it, it became something too big to handle. So I don’t care what anyone says, I’m not underestimating this thing or any of the anomalies it creates and if you guys do then your all, fucking idiots! Sorry, got a little too into it there, but seriously, I don’t know what the [Data Expunged by Order of the O5 Council] is yet, but I WILL destroy it even if it turns out to be just an angry screaming water drop.” -Site Director James.

How gym mats enhance your workout space naturally

When it comes to fitness equipment, gym mats are often overlooked in favor of weights, machines, and treadmills. However, gym mats play a critical role in providing a safe, comfortable, and effective workout environment. Whether you are setting up a professional gym, a home fitness area, or a yoga studio, gym mats are indispensable. In this article, we will explore the importance of gym mats, the different types available, how to choose the right ones, and maintenance tips to keep them in top condition.

Why Are Gym Mats Important?

Gym mats provide essential support and cushioning during physical activities. They protect your joints from hard surfaces, reduce the risk of injuries, and enhance overall performance. Without gym mats, exercises such as stretching, yoga, pilates, and weightlifting could put excessive strain on your body, leading to discomfort or long-term damage.

Safety is a primary concern in any fitness space, and gym mats significantly contribute to creating a safe workout environment. They prevent slips, cushion falls, and offer stability during dynamic movements. For children’s play areas, martial arts studios, and high-intensity gyms, gym mats are not just useful — they are essential.

Types of Gym Mats

There is a wide variety of gym mats designed for different activities and spaces. Understanding the types can help you choose the best option for your needs:

1. Exercise Mats

Exercise mats are versatile gym mats used for general workouts, including stretching, aerobics, and bodyweight exercises. They are typically lightweight and easy to move around.

2. Yoga Mats

Yoga mats are thinner gym mats that provide a non-slip surface for yoga practices. They offer just enough cushioning to support poses while maintaining balance and stability.

3. Weightlifting Mats

Weightlifting mats are heavy-duty gym mats designed to withstand the impact of dropped weights. They are thicker and denser, providing maximum shock absorption and protecting both the floor and the equipment.

4. Martial Arts Mats

Martial arts gym mats are designed to cushion falls and minimize injuries during practices like judo, taekwondo, and Brazilian jiu-jitsu. They are often interlocking foam mats that create a large, seamless surface.

5. Kids’ Play Mats

For children's gyms and play areas, special gym mats are made with soft, colorful foam to ensure safety during active play. These mats often come in fun designs to make fitness enjoyable for kids.

6. Folding Mats

Folding gym mats are convenient for small spaces. They can be folded and stored away when not in use, making them perfect for home gyms or mobile fitness trainers.

Materials Used in Gym Mats

The material of gym mats determines their durability, comfort, and suitability for different activities. Common materials include:

PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride): Durable, easy to clean, and water-resistant.

EVA Foam (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate): Lightweight, soft, and perfect for kids’ play mats and yoga mats.

Rubber: Highly durable, excellent shock absorption, and ideal for weightlifting areas.

Polyurethane: Comfortable and supportive, often used in thicker mats for gymnastic activities.

Choosing the right material is crucial depending on the usage of your gym mats.

How to Choose the Right Gym Mats

Selecting the appropriate gym mats involves considering several factors:

1. Type of Exercise

The kind of workouts you plan to do should dictate the type of gym mats you purchase. For instance, weight training requires thick rubber mats, while yoga benefits from thinner, sticky mats.

2. Thickness

Thickness is critical for comfort and protection. Thin gym mats are ideal for yoga and stretching, whereas thicker mats are necessary for impact-heavy activities like gymnastics and weightlifting.

3. Size

Ensure the gym mats cover the workout area adequately. Larger mats or interlocking pieces are better for full gym coverage, while smaller, individual mats work for personal spaces.

4. Grip and Stability

A good gym mat should offer a stable, non-slip surface to prevent accidents. Look for mats with textured surfaces that grip the floor and your body securely.

5. Portability

If you need to move your gym mats frequently, opt for lightweight or foldable designs.

6. Ease of Cleaning

Hygiene is vital in fitness environments. Choose gym mats that are easy to clean and resistant to moisture and bacteria.

Benefits of Using Gym Mats

Using gym mats provides numerous benefits beyond injury prevention:

Enhanced Comfort: Cushioned support reduces strain on joints and muscles.

Improved Performance: Stable surfaces improve balance and technique.

Noise Reduction: Thick gym mats absorb sound, making gyms quieter.

Floor Protection: Mats protect floors from heavy equipment and high-impact activities.

Aesthetic Appeal: Well-chosen gym mats can enhance the look and feel of your fitness area.

Maintenance Tips for Gym Mats

To ensure your gym mats last long and remain hygienic, follow these maintenance tips:

Regular Cleaning: Wipe down gym mats after each use with mild soap and water or disinfectant sprays.

Deep Cleaning: Perform deep cleaning weekly if mats are heavily used.

Dry Thoroughly: Allow mats to air dry completely before rolling or stacking them to prevent mold.

Proper Storage: Store gym mats flat or rolled up in a dry, cool place.

Inspect for Damage: Regularly check for tears or excessive wear, and replace mats as needed.

Setting Up a Gym Space with Gym Mats

When designing your gym space, gym mats should be a fundamental part of your layout. Here are a few tips:

Plan the Layout: Decide where different activities will happen and select appropriate mats for each zone.

Mix and Match: Use different types of gym mats for strength training, cardio, stretching, and kids’ play areas.

Secure Mats: Ensure mats do not slide by using adhesives, anchors, or interlocking systems.

Color Coordination: Choose colors that match your gym’s theme for a professional look.

Gym Mats for Home Gyms

Home gyms are becoming increasingly popular, and gym mats are a must-have component. They create a professional atmosphere while ensuring safety. Whether you are lifting weights in the garage or practicing yoga in your living room, the right gym mats will elevate your workout experience.

5. Superior Product Quality

Continuous integration, testing, and quality assurance are at the heart of SAFe. Certified teams are trained to catch defects early, reduce rework, and consistently deliver high-quality products and services that meet or exceed customer expectations.

6. Better Risk Management

SAFe’s structured approach to planning and execution allows organizations to identify and mitigate risks early. Enhanced transparency and real-time visibility into project progress help leaders make informed decisions and address issues proactively.

7. Higher Employee Engagement and Morale

SAFe empowers teams with autonomy and accountability, fostering a culture of ownership and continuous improvement. This not only boosts productivity but also enhances job satisfaction and employee retention.

8. Stronger Customer Focus

SAFe certification trains teams to prioritize customer needs and respond quickly to feedback. This customer-centric mindset leads to higher satisfaction, loyalty, and long-term business success.

9. Greater Return on Investment (ROI)

By reducing waste, improving efficiency, and accelerating delivery, SAFe delivers measurable ROI. Organizations see increased revenue, cost savings, and a decisive competitive edge as a direct result of SAFe implementation.

10. Future-Proofing the Organization

In a hyper-competitive, ever-changing market, agility is not optional. SAFe-certified organizations are better equipped to innovate, adapt to disruptions, and stay ahead of the competition by fostering a culture of learning and adaptability.

Conclusion

Implementing SAFe certification in your organization is a transformative step that drives alignment, accelerates delivery, and builds a resilient, customer-focused culture. The benefits are clear: higher productivity, better quality, improved morale, and a stronger bottom line.
