Physical Layer / The OSI Model

Physical Layer
As the job of the link layer is to move entire frames from one network element to an adjacent network element, the job of the physical layer is to move the individual bits within the frame from one node to the next. The protocols in this layer are again link dependent and further depend on the real transmission medium of the link (for instance, twisted-pair copper wire, single-mode fiber optics). For instance, Ethernet has many physical-layer protocols: one for twisted-pair copper wire, another for coaxial cable, another for fiber, and so on. In each case, a bit is moved across the link in a different way.
The OSI Model
After discussing the Internet protocol stack in detail, we should mention that it is not the only protocol stack around. Particularly, back in the late 1970s, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) proposed that computer networks be organized around seven layers, called the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model [IS0 2009]. The OSI model took shape when the protocols that were to become the Internet protocols were in their infancy, and were but one of various different protocol suites under development; in reality, the inventors of the original OSI model perhaps did not have the Internet in mind when creating it. However, beginning in the late 1970s, many training and university courses picked up on the ISO mandate and organized courses around the seven-layer model. Because of its early impact on networking education, the seven-layer model continues to remain on in some networking textbooks and training courses.
The seven layers of the OSI reference model, shown in "Protocol Layering" figure (b), are application layer, presentation layer, session layer, transport layer, network layer, data link layer, and physical layer. The functionality of five of these layers is approximately the same as their similarly named Internet counterparts. Therefore, let's examine the two additional layers present in the OSI reference model - the presentation layer and the session layer. The role of the presentation layer is to provide services that allow communicating applications to interpret the meaning of data exchanged. These services contain data compression and data encryption (which are self-explanatory) as well as data description (which, as we will see in "Network Management", frees the applications from having to worry about the internal format in which data are represented/stored - formats that may differ from one computer to another). The session layer provides for delimiting and synchronization of data exchange, including the means to build a checkpointing and recovery scheme.
The reality that the Internet lacks two layers found in the OSI reference model poses a couple of interesting questions: Are the services given by these layers unimportant? What if an application requires one of these services? The Internet's answer to both of these questions is the same - It's up to the application developer to decide if a service is important, and if the service is important, it's up to the application developer to build that functionality into the application.

Heather B Swann, Karen Woodbury Gallery, Level 1, 167 Flinders Lane, until 21 September
Standing almost two metres high, a large and blunt horn curves forward. With the title *Husband*, this black eminence seems something between a rock from Stonehenge and a human figure, but very phallic, like an archaic fetish, let us say Bonehenge.
Created by Heather B Swann at Karen Woodbury Gallery, the extravagant big-boy has an unsettling little window at the bottom with a face set into it. It seems like a tasteless rupture for the grandiose formal integrity of the sculpture. But on symbolic grounds, the physiognomy at the lowest part of the colossal erection is a challenge to your nerve.
If it's the husband's face—and you can't tell for sure—then it suggests that the male headspace is all penis, overblown and overbearing. If it's a female face, which is likelier, it might suggest that the woman is oppressed by the overpowering marriage tackle. But the way I see the female face is that it marks the point of contact with the clitoris.
Men and women don't really line up. During intercourse, they overshoot one another, so that his sweetspot doesn't act upon hers. The part of greatest pleasure to her is independent of the greatest thrill to him. It makes sense, then, that that the phallus would make a failed monument: it needs to have a mod, another face put in lower down, to acknowledge its use to the female.
But according to Swann, it isn't just the penis that needs two faces. A branch can sprout several faces. Called *Bachelor*, a horizontal trunk is populated by male heads, perhaps each the progenitor of a scion, as if making a Tree of Jesse that has tumbled. Or perhaps, given the title, it's a gentleman on the look-out, multiplying his head to gaze at prospects from every branch.
Swann's most uncanny invention is *The dream of Hans*, which is a girl-spider, a headless human trunk suspended by a eight legs. This nightmarish fiction proposes that four women have been sacrificed to yield the eight legs and one body.
As a biological fantasy, the creature would be dysfunctional. Leaving aside that she lacks a head, the legs are arranged to thrust perpendicularly to the spine. Rather than carrying the body forward, the two pairs of legs could only push the body to the side; and even so the one side would counteract the other.
Perhaps *The dream of Hans* caricatures the male tendency to carve up women in the imagination and to isolate their body parts for visual consumption. The feet, for example, only touch the ground at the pads, as if their shape is conditioned by unseen stilettos. Compared to any Freudian spider, it is fashionably sanitized, without a black hairy volume in the middle.
In all events, the process of dismembering and reconstituting the fetishized body parts, free of a head, is extrapolated grotesquely. It has resulted in a hideously stimied erotic monster, a human queen of insects, let us say insex, as creepy as they come, a girl-cockroach with neither brain nor groin.
This phantasm can be compared to other figures whose head is absorbed into the torso and arms. Bearing the title of *Lump and sticks*, these figures bury their heads either by standing on it, driving it into the wall or doubling it over and clutching it with their arms. The body becomes "lump and sticks", a depressing lump that comprises head, torso and arms, and then desperate or compromised sticks for legs.
If it's all too unflattering compared to the titanic dong with the face, other readings are possible, as with all symbolically inflected art. Swann is fascinated by the shape of ancient barrows or *tumuli*, burial mounds that make a lump of the figure and are also about the generations spawning one another.
But putting a face to the barrow, literally, is left to Ichwan Noor in *Crossing contemporary cultures* at MiFA (278 Collins St) with a wheel-barrow, whose aluminium tray is a huge human face. The face itself has little substance but the shell must carry a lot of dirt. Sculptors, it seems, are reclaiming the symbolic with a vengeance.

Launched in 2014 with over 8000 pieces, Jewellery Box really has something for everyone. You can shop by metal, type of jewellery piece, occasion and recipient. Their aim is to offer real, quality jewellery at affordable, costume jewellery prices. The lovely Gemma chose three different rose gold pieces for me to try out and they arrived super quick in beautiful packaging. I love when companies put in that little bit of extra effort when wrapping products and JewelleryBox.co.uk definitely don't disappoint from the traditional brown paper to the cute little gift tags and even some super cute pastel pegs.
The first piece I received (and quite possibly my favourite piece) was the Rose Gold Arrow Necklace Chain (£7.35). This really pretty necklace comes on a super fine 16 inch chain with a delicate little arrow charm at the end, it goes perfectly with my rose gold arrow ring from Coconut Lane. This is really the kind of piece you can wear with anything and on me it hangs just off my neck so will look perfect with something a little lower cut.
I was also sent this beautiful Fine Belcher Infinity Bracelet (£3.87), this goes perfectly with the two other pieces I received and is the perfect daytime bracelet, beautifully understated, again on a super fine rose gold dipped chain. I love this different take on the infinity symbol, having the two hoops linked together. I think this would make the perfect friendship bracelet and at such an affordable price, you could get one for each of your friends!
The final bracelet is very similar to the last piece with a chain of the same length. The Rose Gold Tree Branch Bracelet (£6.85) is another really simple yet elegant piece. I think this would look really beautiful on its own or layered up with a few other pieces and the rose gold just adds that really pretty feminine touch. Personally I'd wear this in the daytime and then paired up with a few other accessories for a night out.

Slapped with his third drunken driving charge in nine months, beleaguered County Commissioner Jerry Owens announced his resignation on Monday, then checked into a hospital to treat his drinking problem.
``Jerry acknowledges that he has an alcohol problem, and has entered the alcoholic rehabilitation program at Lake Hospital in Lake Worth,`` Owens` attorney, David Roth, said at a news conference Monday. ``He feels a lot of remorse. He feels like he let the public down.``
Owens, 34, plowed his county-owned car into a van stopped at a red light at Congress Avenue and Forest Hill Boulevard, west of West Palm Beach, late Sunday night, sheriff`s deputies said. The collision injured a West Palm Beach couple on their way home from a bingo game.
Owens, who refused to take a blood-alcohol test, was charged with careless driving and driving under the influence of alcohol. If convicted of drunken driving for a second time, Owens would face a mandatory 10-day jail term.
As news of Owens` impending resignation spread Monday, eager Republicans were already setting their sights on his commission seat. At least 10 hopefuls had expressed interest in the job by 6 p.m., when Roth announced that Owens would resign effective today.
Gov. Bob Martinez, a Republican, has not decided when he will appoint someone to complete Owens` four-year term, which expires in January 1989.
Owens` colleagues, while sympathetic, seemed to think it was best that Owens step down.
``I think each of the commissioners has to answer for his own behavior and I think he`s answering for his,`` Commissioner Dorothy Wilken said. ``I just feel really sorry about it. I`m just glad no one was killed.``
Owens` sudden departure ends a stormy period of nearly nine months, during which he was charged with drunken driving three times.

Parent's Association
August 1, 2017
Welcome to all new and returning MSSM families!
We are approaching the beginning of a new year at MSSM. The Parents' Association (MSSM PA) enters this year with a returning group on the Executive Committee (EC). The team is enthusiastic and energized to build on a growing and positive parent community..
This year we will face some new challenges and opportunities especially in the residential setting. The increase in Triple and Quad rooms for students means that we as a community will need to be supportive of our students, staff, and faculty. Mental and physical health is going to be of paramount importance in order to create a successful environment for our students.
I welcome each of you to join in the community through the many opportunities the MSSM PA provides. To list but a few:
-In October, during Parent's Weekend we will be holding an MSSM PA meeting. We will be discussing some key issues, opportunities and voting on items such as our By-Laws.
-We have an active Facebook group that is open to members of the MSSM PA. You can find us by following this link and requesting to join:
-We will be holding regional parent meetings throughout the state this year, which is a relaxed opportunity to connect with both new and returning families.
-Consider joining the Parents' Association Executive Committee (EC) for next year. The current members are all parents of seniors and will need to be replaced. We welcome you to join us throughout the year to learn what it is like to be on the EC.
In addition, we, the EC, are always open to hear from you on a more personal level. Below are the names and contact information for each of the MSSM PA Executive Committee. Please feel free to contact any one of us if you have any questions, comments or compliments.
A packing list and a tips/FAQ sheet is posted on our FB page as well as attached to this welcome email/letter. A useful list and place to begin planning for the year ahead.
I look forward to seeing you and your students in the halls and around the state this year. I wish you all an exciting and adventurous year.
Tom Gilley
MSSM PA President

Ughhhhh I am finally beginning this whole "blogging" process. First of all I have to be very honest and tell you that I do not consider myself a writer, let alone a blogger, in any form or fashion. Trust me, my grade school report cards speak for themselves in the "Language" category.
Nonetheless my graphic designer has convinced me that this is something I need to and CAN do! So, like most everything in my life, I'll give it a try!
The first thing that is near and dear to my heart and what really actually inspired me to start blogging is YOU. The BS opened doors on Tuesday, April 7th and I was welcomed to Midtown with open arms, lots of hugs and numerous visits from dear friends.
The following Saturday, April 11th was the Grand Opening Party! I really wanted to throw this party because - who doesn't like a party??? - and as a way to show the store to my family and friends who had been supporting me for the past several months. With a few posts to social media and word of mouth, the rsvp's began rolling in to the website. I was so thrilled when 100 of you rsvp'd! Keep in mind these were people I didn't know! We all know our own family and friends don't rsvp to our own events ;). But with each email alert going off, my anticipation and bewilderment grew. The reservations continued to flood in even minutes before the party actually started!!
Thirty minutes before opening the doors to the party, a guest tried to come in. She was so excited to be there, but I told her we just weren't ready. She was very understanding and trotted around the corner of the building. I thought she simply went to go wait in her car until opening time. Twenty minutes later my photographer for the event (Rachel Apple) came and found me to tell me that a line of guests had formed outside! I started laughing because I knew that she was just being goofy . . . until my dad went outside to take a look. He came back in and informed me that there were 75 people waiting outside!!! I was in disbelief! We quickly finished pulling together the last finishing touches and opened those doors.
You all began to stream in one right after the other. Each and every guest was so happy and excited to be in MY little store. I can not tell you how touching that moment truly was. The kind words, encouragement, smiles, and laughter from the minute those doors opened was truly infectious. A person expects to hear those types of things from their family and friends, however, I did not expect to hear that from guests I didn't even know.
As a dreamer/designer I plan for hours on end and overanalyze every detail until I annoy myself. I've stayed up countless nights exhausting my brain about the most ridiculous things: reflected ceiling plans, the perfect shade of white, how to best display a ring or my beloved tissue paper drawer. But in the end none of it means anything if YOU don't visit the store or don't enjoy your experience.
The party was scheduled to end at 10pm and because there were nearly 400 guests in attendance, the party did not end until nearly 11! All week leading up to the event I thought the place would probably die down around 9, we'd clean up a little and then go on our way. So when I looked at the clock and saw that people were still enjoying themselves way past ten, I was once again shocked!
As Oklahoman's we all know the numerous benefits of supporting local businesses. I wanted my first blog to be a thank you to each and every one of you that not only attended the grand opening party, but to those of you who have visited my little store, follow the BS on social media, have left sweet comments and have told your own friends and family about the store. To me THAT is supporting local businesses. I have personally been an avid supporter of the "keep it local" movement for years, however, I never thought what that would look and feel like from a business owner's perspective. Owning your own business is never easy, but doing that in this state is the BEST feeling imaginable. I am beyond grateful for the overflowing show of love and support.
Thank you to all of our wonderful tote bag donors!

Sultry is the word that defines the long, hot "dog days" of summer. And when it comes to sultry, no one ever did it better than such movie stars as Sophia Loren and Brigitte Bardot. That's why everyone from stars to stylists still copies their looks. You can too, whether it is for a week at the beach or for a hot, summer afternoon.
If you are feeling sophisticated and want to look like you came straight from the Italian Riviera, take your cue from La Loren. That is what Dolce & Gabbana did when they designed their summer collection.
Keep your skin clean and flawless. The beach is no place for heavy makeup. Protect your skin with Avène High Protection Tinted Compact SPF 50. It comes in two golden shades and covers flaws naturally. Apply winged eyeliner in black or brown. Brown looks softer if you are not a dark brunette. Use Rimmel Scandal Eyes Mascara or Mary Kay Waterproof Mascara, if you need a waterproof formula. I find Rimmel regular stays on even in steamy weather, but if you are getting wet, it also comes in waterproof. I love this mascara. The brush is fabulous and looks like a department-store mascara, designed to give you big lashes. Wet N' Wild H2O Proof Liquid Eye Liner ($3.99) has staying power and a thin brush. L'Oreal Waterproof Intense Eye Liner can make it easier to get the correct "cat-eye" shape because the pen format makes drawing easier for beginners.
Make up For Ever makes the best stay-put lip colour. Aqua Rouge in Pink will give you that natural, soft pout look that La Loren and Bardot always wore. It is a little more intense than a natural lip and a lot sexier. You can control the shine and it stays on forever.
Brigitte Bardot was the ultimate bikini beach girl. Her look was sexy but still young and playful. The key to her look – besides a knockout bikini body – was high volume hair, doe or winged eye liner and pale lips. On the beach, try giving your hair a boost with dry shampoo to pump up the volume. This stylist trick will give your hair lasting oomph. Then copy Brigitte and pull it into a high or low ponytail – or even cute pigtails. Sophia Loren liked big hair too, but on the beach she wrapped her hair in a silk scarf. If you decide to try this look, practice so you look like a movie star and not a cleaning lady.
Apply waterproof liner in a winged line. To get Bardot's look, apply your eye in a thinner line from the inner corner of the eye. Let the line get thicker from the middle of the eye out. Start the "wing" from the bottom corner of the eye. Then join and blend it with the upper line into a soft doe-like shape. Try Rimmel London Scandal Eyes Waterproof Gel liner or Revlon Colorstay Crème Gel Eye Liner. Both of these eyeliners are easy to work with and are as good as many pricier liners. Keep cotton buds and remover handy until you get the hang of it. Work the liner into your lashes, and then add mascara.
Another soft, sexy lip colour to try is Clinique Long Last Lipstick in Dubonnet Soft Shine.
A sunless tan or bronzer will help you get a safe but chic glow.
If you always streak, here are the products our own "golden girls" swear by:
Fake Bake Air Brush Tanning Spray and the Flawless Bundle with: Flawless Face, Body Polish, Oil-Free Lotion and exfoliating brush. Both give that perfect glow and make it easy to get professional results every time. The spray makes touch-ups easy.
Australian Gold sun care products smell great and are well priced. The line contains a special super anti-oxidant from down-under. They make face and body sunless tanners as well as sunscreen with bronzers. Australian Gold sunless tanners have high SPF values, making them good for the beach.
St. Tropez Gradual Tan Daily Face Moisturizer has no unpleasant tanner smell. It contains Aloe Vera and Vitamin E; it will moisturize as it gives you a glow. Gradual tanners are great if you tend to get streaks from sunless tanners because you cannot misapply them.
And for those, like me, who don't tan, a hint of bronze and shimmer can work magic in summer's bright light.
Josie Maran Bronzing Argan Oil is a luxurious, natural way to get a little glow. Maran's Bronzing Argan Oil is contains Argan oil which is rich in vitamin E and essential fatty acids. You can apply touch where you need a lift. The sheer colour can be applied for different levels of intensity. Buy it from QVC and get a travel size of Josie's Argan Color Stick in Pink Peony, a gorgeous, wearable pink for lips and cheeks perfect for this look.
If you are looking for pure shimmer at a bargain price try Wet N' Wild Coloricon Bronzer SPF 15. The compact has added sunscreen ingredients to help protect skin from harmful UVB rays. But be aware that you will still need an additional sunscreen. The quality of the powder is amazing. It feels like silk and looks very natural. At only $3.99 the Coloricon bronzer comes in three shades. Reserve Your Cabana is a light pearlized bronzer.
Darlings, summer is the time to amp-up the volume and enjoy the sexy vibes stirred up by long sunny days and hot sultry nights. So go ahead and free your inner movie star.

Are Incentives Corrupting? The Case of Paying People to be Healthy.
Written by Dr Rebecca Brown
Financial incentives are commonplace in everyday life. As tools of states, corporations and individuals, they enable the 'tweaking' of motivations in ways more desirable to the incentiviser. A parent may pay her child £1 to practice the piano for an hour; a café offers a free coffee for every nine the customer buys; governments offer tax breaks for homeowners who make their houses more energy efficient. Most people, most of the time, would probably find the use of financial incentives unobjectionable.
More recently, incentives have been proposed as a means of promoting health. The thinking goes: many diseases people currently suffer from, and are likely to suffer from in the future, are largely the result of behavioural factors (i.e. 'lifestyles'). Certain behaviours, such as eating energy dense diets, taking little exercise, smoking and drinking large amounts of alcohol, increase the risk that someone will suffer from diseases like cancer, heart disease, lung disease and type II diabetes. These diseases are very unpleasant – sometimes fatal – for those who suffer from them, their friends and family. They also create economic harms, requiring healthcare resources to be directed towards caring for those who are sick and result in reduced productivity through lost working hours. For instance,the annual cost to the economy of obesity-related disease is variously estimated as £2.47 billion, £5.1 billion and a whopping $73 billion (around £56.5 billion), depending on what factors are taken into account and how these are calculated. Since incentives are generally seen as useful tools for influencing people's behaviour, why not use them to change health-related behaviours? Why not simply pay people to be healthy? Continue reading
Animal suffering and the pointlessness of moral philosophy
(Above image here) Consider the infamous Chinese dog market. Dogs are rounded up, sometimes beaten while still alive (ostensibly to improve the flavour of their meat), killed, and eaten.
Everyone I know thinks it's obscene, and that the suffering of the dogs cannot possibly be outweighed by the sensual satisfaction of the diners, the desirability of not interfering, colonially, with practices acceptable in another culture, or by any other consideration. It's just wrong.
'It's just wrong' is the observation that moral philosophers exist to denounce. They draw their salaries for interrogating this observation, exploding its naivety, and showing that the unexamined observation is the observation not worth making.
But what can the moral philosophers bring to the discussion about the Chinese dogs? Alone, and unaided by science, not much. The philosophy turns out to be either (a) reheated science or (b) a description of our intuitions, together with more or less bare assertions that those intuitions are either good or bad.

Should vegans eat meat to be ethically consistent? And other moral puzzles from the latest issue of the Journal of Practical Ethics
Should vegans eat meat to be ethically consistent? And other moral puzzles from the latest issue of the Journal of Practical Ethics
By Brian D. Earp (@briandavidearp)
The latest issue of The Journal of Practical Ethics has just been published online, and it includes several fascinating essays (see the abstracts below). In this blog post, I'd like to draw attention to one of them in particular, because it seemed to me to be especially creative and because it was written by an undergraduate student! The essay – "How Should Vegans Live?" – is by Oxford student Xavier Cohen. I had the pleasure of meeting Xavier several months ago when he presented an earlier draft of his essay at a lively competition in Oxford: he and several others were finalists for the Oxford Uehiro Prize in Practical Ethics, for which I was honored to serve as one of the judges.
In a nutshell, Xavier argues that ethical vegans – that is, vegans who refrain from eating animal products specifically because they wish to reduce harm to animals – may actually be undermining their own aims. This is because, he argues, many vegans are so strict about the lifestyle they adopt (and often advocate) that they end up alienating people who might otherwise be willing to make less-drastic changes to their behavior that would promote animal welfare overall. Moreover, by focusing too narrowly on the issue of directly refraining from consuming animal products, vegans may fail to realize how other actions they take may be indirectly harming animals, perhaps even to a greater degree.
In defence of drinking alone
By Rebecca Roache and Hannah Maslen
Yes they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
But it's better than drinking alone
– Billy Joel, Piano Man
Drinking alone is often frowned upon. Those who do it can be quite defensive about it—as illustrated by a Reddit thread entitled 'Why do people think drinking alone is sad?', a recent Wall Street Journal article by Lettie Teague called 'Drinking alone: a bad idea or a toast to oneself?', and a monologue on drinking alone by the American comedian Peter Holmes. Enjoying several glasses of wine at a dinner party, sharing a case of beers with a friend while watching the football, or toasting an achievement with a round of cocktails, are all considered acceptable. Less socially acceptable, however, is to do any of these things in solitude. Even holding the amount of alcohol consumed constant between settings, drinking alone rather than with friends is often seen as a more troubling activity. Continue reading
The moral limitations of in vitro meat
By Ben Levinstein and Anders Sandberg
Almost everybody agrees factory farming is morally outrageous, with several billions of animals living lives that are likely not worth living. One possible solution to this moral disaster is to make in vitro meat technologically and commercially viable. In vitro meat is biologically identical to real meat but cultured in a tank: one day it may become cheaper, more efficient and safer than normal meat. On animal welfare grounds, then, in vitro meat seems like a clear win as it has the potential to eliminate or greatly reduce the need for factory farms. However, there is a problem…
Is this really me? Parasites and other humans' cells in our brains change our psychology
Many people are suspicious about being manipulated in their emotions, thoughts or behaviour by external influences, may those be drugs or advertising. However, it seems that – unbeknown to most of us – within our own bodies exist a considerable number of foreign entities. These entities can change our psychology to a surprisingly large degree. And they pursue their own interests – which do not necessarily coincide with ours.
Guest Post: Why isn't the world going vegan?
Written by Catia Faria
Universitat Pompeu Fabra
Last month, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, one of the world's most influential organizations in its field, published an updated version of a paper concluding that animal-free diets are absolutely healthy (Cullum-Dugan & Pawlak 2015). The article presents the official position of the Academy on this topic, according to which, when well designed, vegetarian and vegan diets provide adequate nutrition for all stages of the life cycle, including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood and adolescence.
It would be reasonable to expect that such conclusion had a significant impact on people's dietary choices. If adopting a vegan diet imposed great costs on the health of human beings, then doing it might not be what we are required to do. Yet the health argument has been, again, debunked. So, why aren't people going massively vegan? Continue reading
Strange brew: opiates from yeast
A recent series of papers have constructed a biochemical pathway that allows yeast to produce opiates. It is not quite a sugar-to-heroin home brew yet, but putting together the pieces looks fairly doable in the very near term. I think I called the news almost exactly five years ago on this blog.
People, including the involved researchers, are concerned and think regulation is needed. It is an interesting case of dual-use biotechnology. While making opiates may be somewhat less frightening than making pathogens, it is still a problematic use of biotechnology: millions of people are addicted, and making it easier for them to get access would worsen the problem. Or would it?
Smoking, Ice-Cream and Logical Progressions: Why We Shouldn't Ban Smoking in Outdoor Public Places
It's a beautiful warm sunny day, and you have decided to take your children to join a group of friends for a barbecue at the local public park. The wine is flowing (orange juice for the kids), you have managed not to burn the sausages (vegetarian or otherwise), and there is even an ice-cream van parked a conveniently short walk away.
An idyllic scenario for many of us, I'm sure you will agree; one might even go so far as to suggest that this is exactly the sort of thing that public parks are there for; they represent a carefree environment in which we can enjoy the sunshine and engage in recreational communal activities with others.

Fort Belvoir force protection exercise recap
Today myself, Andrew Levy of CERT 15 and Sherry deVries of Alexandria CERT participated in Fort Belvoir's force protection exercise. We were CERT victim volunteers today; in two different scenarios. This force protection exercise involved assets from the Department of Defense; the FBI, DHS,and the Virginia Department of Emergency management.The military district of Washington graded the exercise.
The first exercise started about 9am in the parking lot of the Fort Belvoir PX. The first scenario was a truckload of chlorine which was exploded in the parking lot. Andrew, Sherry and I (and 21 other government employee and soldier victims) were scattered across the parking lot with symptoms of difficulty breathing, vomiting, skin irritation and dizziness. We were moulaged to simulate the skin irritation; we all looked like we had severe sunburns!
When the "accident" was called in, fire police and EMS all showed up and began to triage us. We were scattered all over the parking lot and it took Ft. Belvoir Fire dept. about 50 minutes to find all 24 victims. (they used triage tape to tag us; and they use the exact same red,yellow, black and green tags we did in the older classes. Neat, huh.) The rescue services had no prior knowledge of the event; they clearly looked stressed when they came to the site only to see victims everywhere screaming, crying, vomiting and falling on the hoods of the MP police cars.....We stressed them more :)
I was at the bottom end of the parking lot with 3 other victims; we were triaged there and red tagged by the fire dept. and asked if we could walk to the decontamination station.(Although we were red tagged.) We had to walk through the middle of the hot zone; Folks, you remember the concept of decontamination; with hot, warm and cold zones? We could walk, but I "collapsed" about halfway up the hill. The firemen were making us walk near the truck that was "exploded"; they were hosing down the truck with water. The firemen came up and asked if I could walk; I couldn't (hey, I collapsed).
Derek showed us in a recent CERT refresher a really unique rescue method.This is the one where you drag a victim out of a danger zone using rope or webbing wrapped through the victim's arms and around the back. The firemen wrapped a strap between my arms and round my back in this manner. But, they kept my spine straight as they rolled me over; although I was walking I did collapse hard onto the pavement. And they started dragging me out of the danger zone.
Derek mentioned that this rescue method is "rough on the body". I was dragged about 150 feet or so to the decontamination station using this method; and I can TELL you it's rough. My back is scraped up; my butt got scraped up.I was dragged across asphalt; and in this 150 feet the back of my shirt got holed and shredded; the rear waistband of my pants got shredded and the swim trunks underneath got holed.(and my butt got scraped up too... )Folks, I got chewed up....But; Derek was RIGHT. When your'e in a hurry to get someone out of danger quickly this is a VERY effective method. Just make sure the victim is unconscious; otherwise they're in for an unpleasant time.......
I saw Andrew at the decontamination station; they did a "gross contamination" on all red tagged victims. I.E they did not disrobe us; they just hit us with 2 inch fire hoses. Andrew was up to his victim antics; running round tormenting the rescuers and going to the ambulance and pulling OUT ! medical supplies bags; and taking them over to the decon station to "help save" the victims. He gave the rescuers an oscar winning victim performance! He unloaded the ambulance of about half of the supplies, then he went to command asking if he could help; it was great! Sherry from Alexandria CERT had a "heart attack" and was decontaminated on the stretcher she was hauled out on. The firemen and police on scene overall did a decent job; one eye opener was the fact that the military police on post carry biohazard suits and masks with them in the cars.
Once this part of the exercise was over, we were bussed over to another building for the second part of the exercise. We played victim family members; a "plane crash" had occurred and we were to torment the family assistance center staff by being well, distraught, upset, potentially violent family members. We were asking for information; these centers are set up after an airplane crash or mass casualty event to disseminate a managed flow of information to the family members and the media. Again, this was another oppurtunity to play victim; the volunteers running this family assistance center were for the most part brand new and they were stressed out badly. The "fist fight" between two victim family members was interesting; but it was the distraught family member that pulled a "gun" and took one of the assistance center volunteers hostage that took the cake. The MP's were called in to "take out" the hostage taker; this was occuring while we were being evacuated from the building and while still tormenting the volunteers for information.This was an utterly chaotic part of the exercise; the family assistance center on Fort Belvoir needs work; LOTS of it. They got a valuable education today.
The exercise was over at this point; I stuck around post for the 3 pm "hotwash"("informal" debrief, although it took two hours) held by the post commander and his staff. This was a 2 hour recap of the entire force protection exercise; and the CERT volunteers were given special recognition by the command staff, the post commander, the people who ran the family assistance center program and the medical referees. We were recognized by the commander for our enthusiasm, our creativity and our initiative in making the exercise more realistic. Fort Belvoir has tried on three seperate occasions to try and set up a CERT program on post; for whatever reason all 3 attempts have failed. The post commander, Col.Lauritzer really appreciated the CERT effort we showed today; and mentioned it in the "hotwash"
Folks, our CERT program got some major "face time" today. Thanks to Andrew and Sherry for helping make the volunteer portion of today's program such a success.

Talk about a fun filled day.ReplyDelete
Terry covered the majority of the first exercise. Unlike him who knew where he got his scrapes. I had to state "This is not a drill, I am in pain"... three times in a row before they listened. They were really caught in the moment of the exercise.
During the second exercise, as I was going to check in to get information about my "family", I saw employee badges on the table. I took one, put my name on it. And was given access to the "drill" facility. I went over to the Volunteer Checkin area and received my briefing, while still playing my sad/upset/where is my family role. After being training in the Call Center, they brought me over there to answer the phones. But at that point, I got exteremly upset and they decided to have me fill out paperwork for my family.
I kept getting more and more upset. Even tore up the family information form and made a scene.
I just wanted someone to talk to me and not tell me what to do. Like I have said before in CERT classes, I act out in the exercises when I am ignored. The more ignored, the worse I get. As soon as one of the instructors (who participated) spent some time with me at this exercise, I immediately calmed down.
Another interesting part of the exercise was that the entire exercise ended up out in the street and we were not sure really what happened. Everyone was waiting around for the call.
We were interviewed for the Eagle newspaper and will post a link with photos when it becomes available.

We were attacked tonight
These kids were looking for trouble tonight. Mike and I thought we should go outside for some "fresh" air after filming inside the hospital. The moment we stepped outside the hospital door around twenty kids approached us and wanted to hang around and play. We had lots of fun with these kids. When they see a camera they want you to take their picture and show it to them, over and over again!

I´ve already had my personal horror trip of more or less fake vampires, pain and illness before Halloween even started but none of that today! Second part of kitchy Halloween at Disney Resort^^
I went there with Santa (I call him Santa not because he gives me lot of presents but because he has an extremely deep, calm voice and when he laughs it sounds like Santa. As you may recognized already I like nicknames for boys.).
Before we actually entered we already discovered a unique attraction: A probably pretty crazy big guy talking to himself the whole time who knew the Disney staff. Santa nicknamed him "Japanese Bear" after I jokingly asked if he is a special Japanese thing to Disney like Pu-Bear. XD
It was a pretty stormy day so it payed off to have someone who is tall, muscular with brought shoulders with you to hide behind (Not only on stormy days that pays off, of course. ;D)
My glasses are my favorite mirrored ones. i have them in silver and metallic blue.
A little bit of fake Mexico
My favorite non-scary ride
Big ship with a bit Halloween-flavor
Discovering my inner-child
My favorite place, the Mermaid Lagoon!I always thought it would be the perfect place for a rave/club, wouldn´t it?
3rd time I saw the big show at the harbour but I still like it; water-y woman
and fire-y monster-man
...together at last
There was a special Halloween firework which I tried to capture but failed
And after the firework I received a self-made present. If you can understand a bit German you will get the meaning
Romantic, romantic.
I tried a sort of 60s hair style and make-up but it was pretty destroyed at the end of the day.
Hope you all had/have/will have a great halloween!^^

Jones new tune really shows off her mega voice, as she belts her way through this heartfelt song, accompanied by a strong beat, making this the perfect pop ballad. Be sure to check...more

So this week I have a new WIP to show you... I have changed pace this week and pulled out my "ABC Chats" from Les Brodeuses Parisiennes.

Come to Pogue Pool Spa for New Spa Pumps
Spa pumps along with the components that they consist of are essential for the functionality of any spa. They are the driving force behind the spa and without them, there is no way for the spa to work effectively. People often fail to realize how important these parts are and that they may need to replace them from time to time. Investing in new parts for a spa is the best way to ensure that the system runs properly and it is reliable for several years to come. The components serve the critical purpose of creating circulation in the water and this enables the water to move in the system for filtration.
The water needs to be filtered first before it is released into the spa where it can then be used for a relaxing and memorable spa experience. When spa pumps fail in regards to their functionality, it is not possible for the rest of the system to work. The only way to resolve the situation is by replacing the defective parts with new ones. Spa pumps play the role of taking the water that is produced by the wet end.
The impeller moves the water that is contained in the spa. Suction and discharge part form the wet end and this is how water is able to move around the spa with ease. The water goes through the system that facilitates its filtration. This process precedes the release of the water into the spa. At this point, the water is ready and one can use it. This process requires control and the motor in spa pumps is responsible for running the process from the dry end.
Problems that affect spa pumps consist of impellers that are blocked as well as bearings that freeze or leaking that results from seals on the pump that fail. The spa pump comprises of a number of components that are all necessary for the efficiency of the entire spa system. The basic construction of the pump is the wet and dry ends that make it a complete structure.
The pumps are available in a range of quality brands that can be changed depending on what one's needs and preferences are. A spa is a worthwhile addition to any home as well as for commercial purposes. Maintenance involves replacing the parts whenever the need arises to ensure that it remains in good working condition. Spa pumps are affected by different problems that can be detected when the system is analyzed.

You've got in all probability heard the identical admonitions - renovation horror stories are so plentiful, it's a wonder anyone even embarks on home enchancment plans except they have limitless time and money to burn. Because the cost of a kitchen transform can range, we recommend working with a licensed Las Vegas transforming contractor At Copper Creek not only will who may also give you a kitchen renovation value estimate, but we will work with to create a spot to cook that you'll by no means need to depart.
Their paperwork displaying where every numbered cupboard and Ikea panel goes had been invaluable, as was their customer service. We changed out the doorways, drawer fronts, and external hardware and obtained a like-new kitchen. When speaking about a kitchen rework , I sometimes refer to three ranges: entry-stage, midrange and high-finish. Then you can take a closer have a look at the small print that may affect your general price. Having gone by a major kitchen transform 5 years in the past in my very small house, your estimates seem very low. The unique kitchen featured tile counter tops, a shallow sink, a single-pane window and little counter house. And there's always some electrical and plumbing work to be performed in a kitchen remodel.
Just be sure you get a second opinion on the planning as the standard work triangle shouldn't be the only consideration for a purposeful kitchen. The peninsula feels larger than I imagined and hyperlinks the kitchen to the household room in way I'd at all times hoped would happen.
Unless you are planning to maneuver your oven and stove cooktop to a wholly differently place in your kitchen - which shouldn't be crucial in most remodels - you need to be capable to keep away from this cost. It is difficult to estimate ballpark costs with out making a design to find out the scope of work.
They added touches like an installed wine rack and open bookshelf at the end of the peninsula that made this really feel like a customized kitchen. The elapsed time required to complete the kitchen rework may be significantly longer than steered by the overall work hours.

I asked a guy friend for a topic today, hoping to get a peek inside the mind of a man. His suggestion, not too surprisingly, was a discussion about the differences between men and women. This is a topic that rolls around in my brain on a daily basis, so not a problem! No matter what my relationship status is at the time, I'm always trying to figure men out. Why do they do what they do, think what they think, and seem incapable of understanding the little things?
"How do you merge the sexual male ego with the romantic female need? Do men and women need separate date nights?" he asked.
I asked for a little clarification, and when he answered I choked back my laughter. "Men need to have sex to feel loved. Women need to feel loved after sex." he said.
For a moment I dug through my mental purse and fished for my Wo-man Card. "Huh? After sex I just want to sleep... or shop." I replied. I'd almost lost my card, but snatched it back at the last moment.
Who in the hell told men that women need romance in their sex lives? Flowers, candy, diamonds, candles, and scented oils are always nice. However, none of those things make me want to have sex. Keep in mind that I wouldn't turn those things down any sooner than the guys I've dated would turn down a gift with an engine, electronics, a juicy steak, or tickets to watch their favorite team play.
Most women I know will tell you that romance and sex do not usually go hand in hand. Some will even tell you that romance does not belong in the bedroom. Romance is that thing couples do before the sex. It's the small note before work. It's the call at noon to say "I love you". It's the hug in the kitchen when you're cleaning up at the end of the day. Romance can even be cooking him that perfect meal he loves, or buying her those white roses (make a note) that she makes last for 2 weeks.
Do you know what makes me want to have sex? Attraction and hormones. Presents don't make me want to take off my pants. Do you know who needs a present to have sex? Hookers. If you feel you have to buy me a present to coerce me into having sex with you, you might as well just give me the cash. You probably don't know what flowers I like anyway.
So I pose this question to you, dear readers:
Who is responsible for this continued notion that women need presents and romantic love to feel sexual? Is it that men cannot accept that women are sexual creatures? Do women perpetuate the idea? Who can we blame? Let's pick someone who isn't here. I find that to be the easiest way.
