A diplomatic role-playing game about the outbreak of WWI

Brig. Gen. Timothy Trainor, U.S. Military Academy Dean, portrays the president entering Congress to address the legislative branch on immigration reform. In his speech, the president asks both houses to reach an agreement which best reflect his vision on immigration or else he will use the power of veto. The Congressional Simulation Exercise on April 4 was designed to give about 120 West Point cadets in the SS202 and SS252 (American Politics) courses a hands-on, real-world simulation of government in action. Participants absorb the role of legislators, journalist, lobbyists and presidential advisers in a daylong capstone exercise to see who could best use political capital to create the best outcome for their group.

pretty interested to see where this goes....the simulation is pretty slow so we won't know for many hours

Dissipative Particle Dynamics (DPD) simulation of liposome formation. One lipid molecule has been tagged to better illustrate lipid dynamics during the self-assembly process. This video shows a cut through the center of the vesicle illustrating the existence of the double layer structure.

 

The video is a bit off center (made quickly for testing & checking the system), but it still clearly demonstrates the formation of a double layered structure.

Simulating Startups

 

'You may have someone with a very high IQ but has low interpersonal skill .. cannot relate to other people very well. Cannot understand other people. This can be a real liability for organisations who are looking for leadership .. looking to promote people with high intelligence' [1]

 

Interesting. I posted a similar post this week on the characteristics found in entrepreneurs ~ http://news.ycombinator.com/comments?id=7459

 

'... all we'll care about is one measure: how close one comes

to the best founders. We don't care what atoms are in that

molecule ...' [2]

 

But testing for characteristics of 'high achievers' then correlating test scores against potential applicants is fraught with problems. Is the correlation against the best enough? [3]

 

I'm sure you might get some correlation but it's pretty unimaginative [4]. So what could be a better tool? What about direct testing of skill? Wouldn't a better technique be simulation? Why not build a 'startup simulator' where applicants are given tools to simulate tasks they actually will have to do? Then you have a controllable scenario where you really can measure results against successful founders.

 

You could test

 

* the conception of an idea

* the building of a (simple) prototype

* quickly find an audience

* find a way to make money off it

 

Wrapped up in a framework [5] where you test the execution of these tasks you could get a better grasp of the

 

* skills

* determination

 

* entrepreneurial audacity

* passion

* humour

* leadership skills needed to succeed.

* risk taking, emotional intelligence

 

There is a long history of simulators in testing & refining of skills, competency and execution are required. Even Captain Kirk at Starfleet Academy trained, passed (and cheated) on simulators.

 

Who knows it might even be fun.

[3] But I do like the simplicity of just looking at a simple set of parameters to make a Gladwellian decision.

 

[4] In a competitive environment the difference between getting the attention of the right candidates could be the tools used to measure how they stack up against the best .. but actually doing something, learning and getting some feedback.

 

[5] The framework could be a game, or simply a panel of dials. The key thing is you can have a back room with founders, past entrepreneurs twiddling the dials checking to see in RT how candidates handle things like a person leaving, stressing system etc (like the LEM tester in the Apollo missions). It also allows for candidates to learn from failure with less risk & pass on the best decision making skills to candidates that have passed.

  

The Morning shot above shows the first bees on a Grevillea Superb in flower (hybridisation of Grevillea banksii and Grevillea bipinnatifida).

 

I can tell the bee is starting the day because the legs are not yet laden with pollen. Later in the day bees are almost always fully laden.

Unfortunately trees and clouds prevented me from seeing Comet McNaught for myself, and now it's only visible from the southern hemisphere. Bummer. This picture is NOT McNaught, it's an Orbiter screen shot of a simulated comet moved (by text editing) into Earth orbit so I could make it visible over Cape Canaveral.

 

The "coma" shown here is a large "spacecraft" from an Orbiter add-on by Brian Jones, simulating the ESA Rosetta mission to comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, found at www.avsim.com (search for file rosetta2.zip). The comet itself is set up as a new small "planet" in a special purpose solar system configuration file, and the Rosetta spacecraft is defined, along with a number of scenarios for different parts of the mission. Brian also defined what he called "an unrealistic symbolic coma" to make it look somewhat like a comet (Orbiter doesn't model any comets by default). The coma was formally defined as a large, translucent spacecraft that could be "landed" on the comet's core (which is defined as a small planet orbiting the Sun, as a comet actually does) so it would move with the comet (i.e., Orbiter is not physically modeling the process that produces the comet's tail). I "borrowed" the coma "spacecraft", placed it in Earth orbit, and modified its orbital elements (with the scenario editor) to make it visible over Cape Canaveral. Just for the heck of it.

Indonesia. The simulation is part of a health and

disaster management programme funded by

Australia that aims to teach the community about

disasters and how to minimize risk when they strike.

Nabire was struck by an earthquake in 2004 that

killed over 130 people, injured hundreds and left

over 1,000 residents homeless.

Dans le cadre de la Semaine nationale de la prévention de la noyade, les sauveteurs de la piscine la Joie ont pris part à une simulation d’un cas de colonne afin de faire de la prévention auprès de la population face aux dangers en piscine. Sous la supervision de la chef-sauveteur Laurie Gardner, l’équipe de sauveteur est intervenue afin d’effectuer un sauvetage simulé d’un baigneur ayant malencontreusement plongé dans la partie peu profonde de la piscine. Après avoir sifflé l’évacuation immédiate de la piscine, les sauveteurs ont travaillé de pair pour effectuer la sortie de l’eau de la victime blessée à la colonne vertébrale.

 

En cette Semaine nationale de prévention de la noyade, les ambulanciers d’Urgence Bois-Francs et les pompiers du Service de la sécurité publique de Victoriaville ont eux aussi participé à la simulation, et ont pris en charge la victime blessée à la colonne après la sortie de l’eau effectuée par les sauveteurs. Une communication efficace et le calme de tous ont contribué à faire de cet exercice de sauvetage un réel succès.

 

À la suite de cette simulation, des ateliers d’éducation au public ont été organisés avec la collaboration de Victoriaville en santé, et ce, tout au long de l’après-midi. Les personnes intéressées à connaitre quelques techniques de sauvetage et de réanimation cardiorespiratoire (RCR) ont pu se rendre sur place lors de cette journée de prévention.

 

La prochaine activité d’éducation au public portant sur les ateliers de sauvetage et de RCR est prévue le jeudi 31 juillet à 14 h à la piscine des Forges située sur la rue de l’Académie.
