About two dozen members of the Nebraska Army National Guard and Nebraska Task Force One, Urban Search and Rescue conducted structural extraction training, May 23, 2019, at the Camp Ashland Training Site in Nebraska. The training incorporated flight and hoist rescue methods using Army National Guard helicopter crews who supported rescue personnel from civilian partner agencies. The purpose of this training was to simulate conditions both crews encountered during March of this year, when historic flooding swept across the state. Camp Ashland buildings – damaged by the floods when 5-10 feet of river water rushed into the military camp, and now slated for future demolition – were used to simulate residences for the training. A rescue team was first lowered onto the roof of one building by a UH-72 Lakota helicopter. The Task Force One first responders then used a chainsaw to cut a hole in the roof to gain access to the interior. Once inside, they located and secured the victim, and then hoisted him safely into the helicopter. For the second task, a UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter hovered over a building surrounded by trees and near powerlines to extract a victim from an open second-story window. The first responder was lowered from the helicopter near the window, and was expected to reach the window, pull himself inside and then secure the victim for extraction. This task was repeated twice for affect. This was a unique training experience for both the Nebraska National Guard aviators and Nebraska Task Force One crew members. Both teams anticipate the joint training to become standard practice. (Nebraska National Guard photo by Spc. Lisa Crawford)
A while back I took a series of orthogonal photographs over a lava field, roughly 100' off the ground. Lots of nice detail in the photos, and lots of data to experiment with.
Among other things I made a couple of fairly large composites using Microsoft's Image Composite Editor, and stuck all of the images into Photosynth to make a fly-through of the site:
photosynth.net/view.aspx?cid=f363450f-3e05-479b-aebf-64d3...
But what I was really after was a 3D model or a digital elevation map of the site, created from my data. I'm still not there, but I'm pretty darned close.
Once the point cloud was extracted, there were a number of stray points to be dealt with. These were edited out in a 3D modeling package. Once the point cloud was deemed relatively clean, it was converted into a mesh surface.
The resulting surface is visible here. It's got gaps. It's got holes. It's not perfect, but it's not bad!
To the left is a relatively smooth area of bulldozed lava rock. Moving right, there's a lava slope going up to an undisturbed a`a lava flow. A service road cuts through the map, and on the other side is another undisturbed lava flow. The terrain really is quite rough on that side, and the model is quite accurate. But the rough terrain made spotting and removing stray points in the point cloud difficult at best.
Nonetheless it does work. I'd love to see tighter filtering on the point cloud from within Photosynth, and an option to extract the point cloud as a CSV file. It may not be perfect, but it's not bad!
So this morning I had a wisdom tooth pulled out. Our dentist is pretty good so I didn't really feel anything. Out in 30 mins with a few stitches only but no shortage of blood.

This canine had to be extracted as there was a gingival lump associated with it. We have collected a biopsy of the gingival lump to ensure it is not a nasty tumour.

We like to mess around with liquor extractions. On the left we have my all-time favorite to date: gin with rhubarb. On the right, my second favorite, gin with sour cherry.
I had this wisdom tooth pulled today. On the advice of my dentist, I went ahead and had it done professionally.
To recoup some of the expense, I am passing this along to my niece with the hope she can broker some sort of deal with the tooth fairy on my behalf. I am assured her 30% cut is industry standard.

www.elkgrovevillagedentist.com/general-dentistry/tooth-ex... - At the time of extraction, the doctor will need to numb your tooth, jawbone, and gums that surround the area with a local anesthetic. You feel the pressure without pain as the anesthetic has numbed the nerves stopping the transference of pain, yet the nerves that transmit pressure are not profoundly affected. If you do feel pain at any time during the extraction please let us know right away. For more information visit Schumer Family Dental Care.
