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)

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.

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 ...

Sequence of three shots in early morning golden light. I still haven't processed this day's shots yet. This is nearly two years old. Ouch.

Between the sink and wall, amongst the plaster and purple paint stains - a creature plays with a bubble caught on its fingertip.

The big guy sucking the insides out of his peas, and of course, leaving empty pea shells everywhere!
Egads! I really need to clean his bottom shelf. He likes to sit on that shelf and do all of his eating :))
On another note, we're supposed to be getting another winter storm tomorrow!
They are calling for snow, sleet, AND freezing rain! The Explorer won't go out in ice :))
“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.
As of the posting of this blog we had just received news that our film had been selected as part of the “Best Of” awards. We wont find out the categories until this coming Tuesday!
Stay tuned for the video link! : )
Thanks, RJemal
A shout out to my friend Rod Guajardo for linking me up with the crew at Hidden Track Films.
