On May 31, more than 50 Southern Nevada wildland firefighters from BLM, U.S. Forest Service and National Park Service were joined by Mercy Air for medical extraction training exercises.
In the first scenario, two separate heat related injuries of a fellow firefighters were reported. And it couldn’t have happened on a more appropriate day as it was 106 degrees.
Firefighters worked together to provide shade to the patients, record vital signs, provide initial treatment, provide interventions by administering oxygen, hand carrying them and finally fully extracting them from the injury site when medical gear arrived.
In the second scenario, a fellow firefighter fell and reported no feeling below his waist. This time, air transport was requested, a helispot was created, the patient was carefully guided down a steep hill with full c-spine immobilization on a litter, a BLM helicopter landed, the patient was loaded into the BLM helicopter, and finally transferred and loaded into a MercyAir medical helicopter.
After both scenarios, an After Action Review was held to discuss the extractions and lessons learned.
Special thanks to Ian McQuery, Las Vegas Helitack’s Assistant Crew Supervisor, for spearheading the training!

Guide at the three - Revolution Exhibition museum in Pyongyang - North Korea
The exhibition shows the achievements of the people who are carrying out the Three Revolutions of ideology, technology and culture. It is situated in Ryonmot-dong area, Sosong district, Pyongyang.
It is North Korea's answer to the America's Epcot Centre. The sprawling complex details the 'three revolutions' Kim Il Sung brought about in post-war Korea: ideological, technical and cultural. The six halls detail advances across the board in electronics, heavy industry, agriculture and technology. There's also an interesting display of vehicles produced in North Korea.
The planetarium can be found within the electronics industry hall, which looks like a silver replica of Saturn.
Leather Kilts are most often worn on formal occasions and sports events, it has also been adapted as an item of informal male clothing in recent years, returning to its roots as an everyday garment.These kilts are made of genuine leather material.Particularly in North America kilts are now made for casual wear in a variety of materials.

An amusing guided tour around a stately home that once was owned by Led Zeppelin.
The owner and tour guide was dancing around, getting most excited about geek gods and comparing society against the behaviour of his dogs, he preferred his dogs.
For my own amusement I cut his head off and left him hanging from the frame as though in noose.

Well, I’ve totally freaked out in this shot!
My mind told me to write this:
“this is a picture from a history book. Long time ago there was a war in a far away planet. The skeletons invaded the winged horses planet. There was a blue sea on this planet but the skeletons poisoned it and made it black and dead. All the other animals in the planet died because life was connected to the sea. Some winged horses survived and started to fight against the skeletons that were using one-horned horses like slaves in the battle. Without those horses the skeletons wouldn’t have been able to win but the one-horned horses couldn’t hear the winged ones telling them they were just slaves. They couldn’t know they were losing their freedom while killing that planet….”
Have a natural day my friends!

Watching this adult with her flipper over the pup's back, it was difficult not to ascribe human characteristics to the activity.
Like some kind of guiding light the sun was shining down at the end of this path so I stopped to take a shot. I was pleased with the result but decided the path needed further investigation. Another hundred meters or so and the sun was clearly visible behind the trees, an opportunity too good to waste.

Guided walking tour of Assisi
Assisi (Italian: [asˈsiːzi]; from Latin: Asisium) is a town and comune of Italy in the Province of Perugia in the Umbria region, on the western flank of Monte Subasio.
It is generally regarded as the birthplace of the Latin poet Propertius, born around 50–45 BC. It is the birthplace of St. Francis, who founded the Franciscan religious order in the town in 1208, and St. Clare (Chiara d'Offreducci), who with St. Francis founded the Poor Sisters, which later became the Order of Poor Clares after her death. The 19th-century Saint Gabriel of Our Lady of Sorrows was also born in Assisi.
View from Piazza Santa Chiara.
To the far right is the Torre del Popolo. Part of the Temple of Minerva in the Piazza del Comune.
Palazzo del Capitano del Popolo and Civic Tower
Palace of the Captain of the People
The building that forms a corner on the upstream side of the square is the Palazzo del Capitano del Popolo. In 1275 the Municipality bought some houses next to the Torre del Popolo to build a new headquarters for the Captain's judiciary. In 1282 the construction was already completed and Captain Guido de' Rossi from Florence had his coat of arms walled up between two shields with the cross symbol of the Municipality. In 1926 the building underwent a radical neo-14th century restoration based on a design by the architect Ruggero Antonelli (Perugia 1888-1974). The rooms on the ground floor are decorated with paintings by Adalberto Migliorati (Rome 1902 – Perugia 1953) with representations of medieval trades.
People's Tower
Close to the Temple of Minerva stands the very high Torre del Popolo (47 m.). The tower was built for the magistracy of the Capitano del Popolo, of which there is news in Assisi in the year 1267. The building was partially completed in 1274, the date once legible above a bell, and housed the Captain's family, as it results for the year 1279. An inscription placed at the base of the tower states that the construction was completed in the year 1305, at the time of Captain Cabrino da Parma. On the occasion of the seventh centenary of the death of St. Francis (1926) the crowning with Ghibelline merlons of the summit was built.
Torre del Popolo – Plaque with the municipal forms and measures
In 1349 the Capitano del Popolo Angelo di Latero da Perugia had a red stone plaque from Subasio walled up at the base of the Tower, with the measurements and thickness of the bricks made in Assisi – bricks, flat tiles, squares and roof tiles – plus three iron rods with the length of the barrel, the step and the palm, followed for wool, silk and linen cloths. The municipal statute of 1469 prescribed the use of these models applied to the base of the tower, as well as regulated times and places in the exercise of the craft professions and in the sale of goods, due to smells and noises.
Torre del Popolo – Portal
In 1501 the rooms on the ground floor of the Torre del Popolo were sold to the Collegio dei Notai to allocate the Audience hall. In 1524 the stonemason Massimo di Puzio sculpted the stone portal, based on a design by the painter Cecco di Bernardino (Assisi doc. 1511-1547). On the key of the arch is a stone shield with the work tools of notaries: book, pen and inkwell. The motto of the Art is carved on the architrave: Unica mundi fides. The coat of arms and the initials visible on the right jamb are those of the notary Francesco Bovi. In 1531 the wood master Paolo di Jacopo da Gubbio executed the door in imitation of the shutters of the Collegio del Cambio in Perugia.
Torre del Popolo – Audience Hall
In the second decade of the sixteenth century, the room on the ground floor of the tower was furnished for the Guild of Notaries with a back court, decorated with candelabra and inlays with ancient letters and figures, according to the model presented on 7 November 1515 by Lorenzo di Paolo, Florentine master woodcutter residing in Assisi. The wooden furniture has been lost. Instead, a battered fresco dating back to the final decades of the 16th century has been preserved, which depicts the Assumption of the Virgin into heaven in the presence of the patron saints Giovanni Evangelista and Rufino, Chiara and Francesco. From here there is access to a courtyard which leads to the back of the Temple of Minerva.
Chiesa Nuova di San Francesco Convertito
The Chiesa Nuova is a church in Assisi, Italy, built in 1615 on the site of the presumed birthplace of St. Francis, the house of Pietro di Bernardone. It was then called Chiesa Nuova because it was the last church to be built in Assisi at that time.
It was erected because, during a visit to Assisi in 1613, Antonio de Trejo, the Spanish Vicar General of the Franciscans, was saddened when he saw the original home of St. Francis becoming dilapidated. With the help of the Spanish Embassy in Rome and through a donation of 6,000 ducats by King Philip III of Spain, he was able to buy the house.
Pope Paul V authenticated this purchase on 10 July 1615 and blessed the first stone. On 20 September 1615 this foundation stone was then brought, in a solemn procession, from the Cathedral of San Rufino to the building site. The church was built under the supervision of brother Rufino di Cerchiara, who was perhaps also the architect.
The church, built in late Renaissance style, features a high dome divided in coffers, with lantern and a drum. Such a caisson ceiling is a feature of Renaissance architecture. The plan is a Greek cross one, with nave and transepts of the same length, inspired by the church of Sant'Eligio degli Orefici in Rome, one of the few churches designed and built by Raphael. The church is decorated with frescoes by Cesare Sermei and Giacomo Giorgetti (17th century).
The high altar was set over the room of St. Francis. One can also visit the shop where Francis sold his cloth and the stairwell in which Francis was imprisoned by his father. This is the place where Francis decided to answer the divine call and to renounce worldly goods.
The adjoining friary houses a museum and an important Franciscan library with many codices and rare books.
Sabato 3 dicembre si è celebrata la Giornata Internazionale dei diritti delle persone con disabilità, istituita nel 1981 dall’Assemblea Generale dell’ONU per promuovere una più diffusa e approfondita conoscenza sui temi della disabilità, per sostenere la piena inclusione delle persone con disabilità in ogni ambito della vita e per eliminare ogni forma di discriminazione.
Per l’occasione a Desenzano, per il secondo anno, i ragazzi dell'Anffas sono stati “guide speciali” per portare i visitatori del Museo archeologico “Rambotti” alla scoperta della vita quotidiana in un villaggio palafitticolo di 4.000 anni fa.
L’iniziativa è stata promossa dall’Amministrazione comunale e da Anffas onlus di Desenzano in collaborazione con la Cooperativa la Melagrana e con il patrocinio di Regione Lombardia e Rete Musei Archeologici.
Al mattino alcune persone che frequentano i servizi Anffas hanno fatto da tutor nei laboratori didattici per le scuole in cui sono stati illustrati, e fatti provare, alcuni giochi di moda nell’antica Roma.
Le visite guidate aperte a tutti sono state programmate per il pomeriggio alle ore 15, 16 e 17.
