Georgetown University School of Foreign Service in Qatar held a conflict resolution and negotiation simulation titled “Afghanistan in 2015: Chaos in Kabul.” The simulation, organized in conjunction with Georgetown’s Institute for the Study of Diplomacy (ISD) in Washington, D.C., included 25 student participants from the Georgetown Qatar and D.C. campuses, the Academic Bridge Program, as well as local high school students. Canadian Head of Mission to Qatar, Gary Luton, played the role of UN Secretary General in the exercise.
“It’s always useful for practitioners to engage with students on important issues, and to hear their opinions on and reactions to some of the international community’s most vital concerns,” said Luton.
The exercise, a blend of real-world events and fictional elements that help facilitate learning objectives, was designed to help students think about and experience domestic and international efforts towards reconstruction and development after international military forces have pulled out of a country, the power struggle within Afghanistan in particular, and how the UN, foreign governments, the Afghan government, tribal leaders and the Taliban can interact constructively.
Students received a set of “confidential” instructions outlining each team’s initial position on developing a road map for Afghan reconstruction and development several days before the simulation began. During the simulation, students engaged in a series of bilateral and multilateral meetings which culminated in a final session presided by the UN Secretary General, played by the Canadian Head of Mission to Qatar, Gary Luton.
“The value of simulations for students studying international affairs, is that they get to immerse themselves in very difficult topics and learn about the subject matter. They then get to play the role of the people in the real world who are trying to do something about that crisis,” said Jim Seevers, the ISD’s Director of Studies and Training who created the exercise in conjunction with ISD Associate Lt. Colonel Mike Shortsleeve. “The students love the process of actually being the negotiator. When you’re being asked, not just to understand a subject, but to negotiate with a party that you know has a different view, you begin to see issues from different parties’ perspectives,” added Seevers.
During the exercise, students formed several teams representing the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, the Taliban, the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, the United States, the People’s Republic of China, and the U.N. Assistance Mission in Afghanistan. A “control room” of faculty and policy practitioners played the role of the Afghan Tribal Leaders and ISAF/NATO.
Ysa Chandna, a Georgetown University student, commented, “Crisis Simulation is perhaps the best thing at Georgetown University; this is my third time taking part in it and I’m very glad I did because I learned a lot from it.”.

View from the cockpit of the simulator. Multiple screens provide a view similar to what one would see in a snowplow on the road.
Nothing like a photo to summarise your recent activities. I had a great time in Chile working with the Army on Simulation and Training Systems - they were keen, technically proficient and enthusiastic to work with.
They were also excellent hosts!
I hope I get the chance to work with them again.

The focus of cosmology today is on its two mysterious pillars, dark matter and dark energy. Large-scale sky surveys are the current drivers of precision cosmology and have been instrumental in making fundamental discoveries in these areas. This INCITE project focuses on two main areas in computational cosmology, both of which rely on the Hardware/Hybrid Accelerated Cosmology Code (HACC): the generation of Cosmic Emulators, precision prediction tools for different cosmological observables spanning a large range of cosmological parameters;and the construction of sophisticated synthetic sky maps from very large high-resolution cosmological simulations.

This is how I see Machine To Keep A Feather In The Air working (if it works at all). The simulation is not that accurate of course, and there is a lot more code that needs to go into it still, the outer fans should do more to keep the balloon in the middle for instance.
The idea is that the "balloon" here will later be replaced by a vision system that tracks the object in real life and passes the information along to the simulation, some of the same rules should apply with tuning that system, such as for instance "don't blow on the object if it is moving upwards" and "ignore the object unless it is below a certain height".
Also, I'll be wanting to use as few (pan/tilt servo pairs + fan) as possible, 5 seems like a good number.
SGMC EMTs participated in a drunk driving awareness demonstration at Valdosta High School. Students Against Drunk Driving and first responders reenacted a car crash in which drunk drivers were arrested and multiple injuries and causalities resulted. Everyone did a great job at showing students the importance of safe driving during this prom season. **Remember that this was a simulation, no one was actually injured during this demonstration.

Simulation day at #CityCollegeFTL! We conducted a scenario involving a mass casualty situation with five victims, in which students from several programs participated. The results were outstanding! The medical assisting students came to the aide of one victim and called the EMS team to take over. The most severe patient was taken to the operating room for surgery, with the anesthesia and surgical technology students. Amazing work was done by our students.

Epidural Anaesthesia simulation model. ESA prize 2016. The complex skills involved with administering epidurals, such as locating optimal insertion point and needle angle, can only be learned by practice. However it can be dangerous for novice anaesthetists to practice their first epidural procedure on real patients. This simulator provides a training scenario whereby novice anaesthetists can practice needle insertions and visualise bony structures.
