BLACK SEA, July 17. 2018. Mine Hunter TCG Anamur currently deployed with Standing NATO Mine Countermeasure Group Two, sails in the vicinity of Burgas, while participating in the annual Bulgarian-led exercise BREEZE 18. BREEZE is designed to enhance the interoperability of the participating units and strengthen cooperation by practicing different warfare techniques in a multi-dimensional scenario. Multinational participating forces and their crews will be tested in a wide range of warfare tactics focusing on regional security. This year participants include 25 ships, 1 submarine, 9 aircraft, and 2340 military staff out of 11 countries (Bulgaria, Belgium, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Netherland, Poland, Turkey, Romania and the United States ).

I have GOT to get more cardio in. But this doesn't entirely reflect my effort, because I've been doing high-intensity intervals. (One-minute bursts at roughly 95 percent of maximum heart rate.)
I had a session with a personal trainer on Thursday (thanks, Jen!) and she wants me to do free weights instead of the weight machines, so I guess that won't be reflected on these reports.

Exercise lightly related to the Strobist post strobist.blogspot.com/2007/07/lighting-102-unit-21-appare.... I was firing a flash on the wall with different settings, just to observe the type of light it produces.
The left column is the bare flash (Canon 430EX II) with different zoom settings: max value 105 mm, min value 24 mm, and using the diffuser plate to make it 14 mm (not 12 mm, as erroneously written in the image - thanks for noting, petepixxx). I was amazed how broad the light pattern is even when zoomed to 105 mm! The orange "bar" at the bottom is about 1.5 m long, and the flash-to-wall distance was about 1 m.
The middle column has the flash restricted with self-made stuff: a grid, a snoot, and two "barn doors". The grid gives a beautiful spot, except that this has the extra accidental pattern of Saturn's ring. I should build these more carefully… With the "barn doors", the flash was zoomed to 105 mm. Obviously, if you'd want a wide and narrow light beam, you should block the other sides of the flash.
The right column shows the pattern on the wall created by a reflective umbrella and a shoot-through umbrella and a test with a self made "gary fong light sphere". I was surprised of how much light these three eat! Forgot already exactly how much I had to pump up the power, but it was considerable. The pattern left on the wall from the silver umbrella is also surprising. Would you want such pattern on a face??? Would it be normal to get these patterns - I am new to shooting with umbrellas, I would not know. Are they the metallic parts that reflect and create the pattern? The shoot-through umbrella gave much softer light, that should be my first guess for portraits.

Added later: This is actually directly related to this Strobist exercise: strobist.blogspot.com/2007/11/lighting-102-41-restricting.... Somehow I had missed this in Lighting 102, I was reading through Lighting 101 to do this.
The first stage of a simulated terrorist attack at intu Trafford centre finished this morning.
The exercise, codenamed Exercise Winchester Accord, began at midnight on Monday 9 May 2016 at intu Trafford Centre. Greater Manchester Police officers and other emergency services, including Merseyside Police, Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service and North West Ambulance Service, were deployed in the staged exercise, to test and evaluate the emergency services response to a major terrorist incident.
The first stage of the exercise at intu Trafford Centre took place whilst the centre was closed to the public, and ran from midnight and into the early hours.
Over the following two days the exercise will continue in locations in the North West, including Redbank Community Home, in Newton-le-Willows, Merseyside on Wednesday 11 May 2016.
Assistant Chief Constable Rebekah Sutcliffe said: “Stage one of the exercise finished this morning and will continue until Wednesday.
“Residents in the area may have heard loud noises and noticed emergency services around intu Trafford Centre in the early hours of this morning and I would like to thank them for their patience whilst this first stage of the exercise took place.
“Our priority is to stop terrorists from planning and orchestrating attacks and with exercises like this, we can put our response to the test in a safe environment, so we are fully prepared for a time when it may be critical.
“I want to make it clear that this is not linked to any specific terror threat or attack, but is an opportunity for us to make sure we are in the best position possible, should a terrorist attack happen in the North West.
“I would like to thank everyone who took part in the exercise and intu Trafford Centre for following us to use their centre. Their support in the planning of this exercise demonstrates their commitment to test their response to a major incident and protect their staff and customers.”
Richard Paxton, General Manager of intu Trafford Centre, said: "This exercise was a unique opportunity to test both intu Trafford Centre and the emergency services’ working practices on such a large scale. It was a great success and a worthwhile experience for everyone involved.”
Any suspicious activity or behaviour can be reported to police via the confidential Anti-Terrorist Hotline by calling 0800 789 321. Extremist or terrorist content online can be reported at www.gov.uk/report-terrorism.

On Tuesday 21st June 2022, Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service hosted Exercise Mitchell, a large-scale training exercise at their Bury Training and Safety Centre.
The exercise focused on testing the multi-agency operational response to a CBRNE incident by working with partners and volunteers.
Volunteers were on hand to play the part of casualties following a chemical incident on a tram. Greater Manchester Police (GMP), Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS), North West Ambulance Service (NWAS), Transport for Greater Manchester (TFfG) and other partners responded to the incident.
The exercise commenced with joint working between emergency service control rooms in the early stages of the incident, with several calls being made on 999 calls reporting an incident had occurred on the tram.
It took the form of a multi-agency response to the incident in the morning, working with GMP and NWAS. Later in the afternoon crews also set up and tested the Mass Decontamination Unit, helping volunteers through the process.
This training helps to reinforce understanding of different agencies roles and responsibilities during the response to such an incident and validate learning from the response to previous Major Incidents in Greater Manchester. The exercise also reinforced JESIP principles and procedures to help embed multi-agency working amongst Greater Manchester and regional partners.
Further elements of the exercise will take place later in the year, focusing on the Strategic Coordinating Group (SCG) and Tactical Coordinating Group (TCG) elements of a Major Incident.
The overall exercise helped to test the multi-agency response at the Strategic, Tactical and Operational levels including looking at the operational response, Local Resilience Forum procedures and interoperability between organisations.
You should call 101, the national non-emergency number, to report crime and other concerns that do not require an emergency response.
Always call 999 in an emergency, such as when a crime is in progress, violence is being used or threatened or where there is danger to life.

A Swedish Army conscript takes a break during training. Sweden has played host to an exercise involving 26,000 personnel from Sweden and various NATO countries. Exercise Aurora 23 was aimed at helping Sweden defend itself in case it was ever to come under attack. The exercise took place throughout Sweden, but primarily in the southern parts of the country and on Gotland.
NATO Allies that took part included Estonia, Finland, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Poland, Portugal, UK and US.
They trained alongside the Swedish Army, Swedish Navy, Swedish Air Force and Home Guard. Exercise Aurora 23 ran from 17 April to 11 May 2023.
The major incident capabilities of West Midlands Fire Service were put to the test.
The emergency planning exercise – codenamed Morpheus – saw 15 fire engines travelling in convoy from Birmingham to the National Fire Service College at Moreton-in-Marsh, Gloucestershire.
A total of 110 staff took part in the training.
Adrian Baldock, Station Cmdr, said: “The exercise proved to be an excellent test of our staff and procedures for dealing with major incidents... It is difficult to simulate the “real thing” .
“The complete simulation involved a major breathing apparatus search and rescue exercise at the Fire College Moreton in Marsh, Gloucestershire. The day also included special “convoy training”.
