Virginia National Guard Soldiers and Airmen provide search and extraction, decontamination and medical support July 10, 2019, as part of Operation Highball, a multi-state special focus exercise at the River Road Training Center in New Castle, Delaware. The Soldiers and Airmen are assigned to the Richmond-based 34th Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and High-Yield Explosives Enhanced Response Force Package, one of several agencies participating in the multi-day exercise simulating a train derailment. The event, which focused on CBRN response, included contingents of the Delaware and Pennsylvania National Guard plus several civilian agencies. More than 300 personnel practiced coordinating efforts to secure the scene, and rescue and treat civilian victim role players. The exercise included a visit from some distinguished visitors including Col. Todd Hubbard, VNG director of operations, and Brig. Gen. Michael Berry, the Adjutant General of Delaware.(U.S. National Guard photo by Mike Vrabel)
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)
Bristol Indiana Fire Department's Agricultural Extraction Event on Sat., June 25, 2016. Indiana has a number of farms, especially in Elkhart County, Working with a variety of complicated machinery and other equipment, accidents do happen where persons are trapped and require extraction. The Bristol Indiana Fire Department (BFD) Chief Fred Genslinger explained that the BFD sponsors a special training event every 2 years or so on the recommendation of Dr. Jason Bailey. On Saturday, June 25, 2016, the event was an hands-on Agricultural Extraction training using real farm machinery at the Bailey Farm in Bristol on C.R. 108. A classroom training was held from 8 to 11am, conducted by Troy Kerckhove of the South Bend Fire Department. After lunch, Beacon Health System’s Memorial Hospital MedFlight helicopter landed at the Bristol Fire Station for attendees to view and talk with MedFlight personnel.The afternoon was spent at the farm working on actual scenarios with live patients and/or lifelike training manikins with realistic looking injuries with moulage. Demonstrations on emergency equipment was held by some suppliers. Nearly 3 dozen attendees represented Indiana departments from Bristol, Albion, Concord, Harrison, Hobart, Jefferson, Lagrange, Leesburg, New Paris, Osolo and Syracuse.
My good friend from the lab next to me was shaking the extraction funnel. I found the movement of this yellow liquid very beautiful and wanted to share this with you.
Camera used: Nikon D90 with a Tamron 28-75 mm f2.8 lens.
Manipulations: Cropped the image a bit, increased contrast, intensified the color a bit.
Paula put some effort into capturing the spinning on pixels. A little person could put a lot of G forces into the extraction.
Messing around with Lensbaby again (double glass optic f/8 aperture disc). Pictured here: These pipes go up to the bridge and are joined to dust extraction machines - presumably for Asbestos removal or the like.

“The Extraction”
This short film was created for the “48 Hour Film Project”, and was directed by Kimberly Scott and Chris Pichado. It’s successful completion could not have been accomplished without the help of the entire Hidden Track Films crew!
I had the privilege of being part of the team that helped complete the film from start to finish! Each person played an important part: the story development, props, lighting, shooting, audio, directing, producing, editing. All this was done within 48 Hours.

Family decided to stay and finally called for help when the water was rising. This is about 1/2 mile from the shelter.

Researchers extract juice from sugarcane that has been engineered to produce oil for biodiesel in addition to the plant's sugar that is used for ethanol production.
Plants Engineered to Replace Oil in Sugarcane and Sorghum (PETROSS) is a research project transforming sugarcane and sweet sorghum into dual-purpose bioenergy crops to ensure a sustainable source of biofuel.

I overheard Abby telling Joe about the garter... apparently it was forgotten somewhere, so Abby's parents went out and got her one - from an adult store. This is logical and all that, I guess, it's just... heh. :p

After the ‘90s, there were about 45,000 coal miners working in the Jiu Valley. That is no longer the case today. As it is no longer profitable to extract coal, the European Commission recently proposed to closed most of them down and lay off the miners.
The remaining “lucky” 8,700 miners who made it through this restructuring exercise, continue to go 2,000 meters underground every day, working with rudimentary equipment and puting their lifes in danger.
The ones that were not so “lucky” continue to be un-employed, with limited chances of finding employment elsewhere...
The rusty entry of the old business, is wearing with stained letters a caste wishes “Good Luck”. 862 people read it at Petrila mine coal every day.
In the cage - so tell the elevator - a group is already formed. An iron box with two metal walls and floor crooked, leads people into the deep. They began to come to mine at 4.30 a.m, before dawn. The first turn is at 6.00 a.m. They gathered first at the table. Languages are freed quickly, without censorship. Who to beware? Then go to change. No one enters underground without special dark blue equipment. And without making timesheet. A brand of aluminum, which is scratched a number - their new identity while their are undergroung-, an entry in the register the lamp and auto save mask. Now, everyone knows who is and who works in the mining sector. In case something happens ...
