Electromechanical technologist Gilbert Gonzalez and mechanical engineer Megan Tribble, both in the Explosives Engineering Operations Dept., test configurations for the Explosive Destruction System, or EDS. The Sandia-designed system was developed in the 1990s and is the only successful technology that doesn’t use incineration to destroy munitions. Over the years, the basic operation of EDS has remained the same. At its core is a leak-tight vessel in which munitions are placed. An explosive shaped charge opens the metal shell, exposing the chemical agent and burster, a small explosive that disperses the agent. The burster explodes or deflagrates safely inside the vessel. A reagent is then pumped into the chamber to neutralize the chemical agent. The chamber is heated and rotateded to mix the chemicals and speed the reaction.

Draw By Night #42 (Oct '15) - The Skookums
What happens when you mix a roomful of artists, giant pieces of paper, and a crazy theme? If you’re Interactive Technologist and Instructor Christopher Quine, you turn those ingredients into Vancouver’s only bi-monthly drawing party. At Draw By Night, artists can work collaboratively on pieces, or by themselves on their own section. The only emphasis is on getting everyone drawing. Participants are encouraged to use Twitter or other social media to discuss the event and post pictures, allowing real-time engagement with the drawing community. They can also post ideas and comments that are often integrated into the next event.

Priyanka Rani Das, 28, works as a medical technologist at the Narayanganj-based Sajida Foundation hospital’s isolation unit for coronavirus-infected patients. Mother of an 8-year old son, she hasn’t been able to meet him since the Covid-19 outbreak. She resides in the hospital-directed dormitory for frontline healthcare professionals. Asked if she was afraid of getting infected with the virus, she said nothing happened so far in the last few months. “It is about how effectively I use my personal protective equipment (PPE). It is heartbreaking not to meet my son in such a long time. But when I visit patients to collect their samples, they bless me, which is gratifying. For these sacrifices, I believe God has planned grand rewards for me.” Photo:

The work of digital listening falls primarily upon the analysts, technologists, and strategists who are gathering the data and rendering them accessible.
It is (to borrow a concept from Personal Democracy Media’s Micah Sifry) an atomistic form of engagement: we watch alone, we take action alone, we even share inspirational stories alone, clicking away at a laptop screen or mobile interface.
Atomistic engagement can move fast and can be harnessed by smart, nimble nonprofits. But a deep, committed supporter base provides heft and force. The mightiest organizations in the years to come will harness both.

The department of Biosurgery and Surgical Technology at Imperial College first entered Second Life in 2007.
Initial work focused on the development of social platforms that would inform health policy within London's National Health Service (NHS). The aim was to create health infrastructure and treatment pathways of the future that patients and medical professionals could experience virtually. This quickly expanded into consultation meetings and the creation of the Second Health islands (www.secondhealth.org.uk). As the pace of real world health reform quickened, so did the project. We are now working on creating virtual care networks across a simulated london borough.
Surgical simulation and education have formed the basis for much of the research within the department. Therefore, reserachers are now exploring the feasibility of Second Life as an educational platform for training medical professionals. This has initially focused on team training within the operating theatre environment, but it is seeking to explore the unlocked potential of virtual worlds in the fields of patient safety and undergraduate education.

Game-based learning for virtual patients in Second Life
++++++++++++
This project aims to develop an effective model for the delivery of virtual patients following a game-based learning approach in Second Life.
The four-dimensional framework described by De Freitas and Martin (2006), plus the learning types described by Helmer (2007), as well as the different aspects of emergent narrative described by Murray (1997) have provided the basis for the design of these game-based learning activities for virtual patients under two different categories: context and learner specification, and narrative and modes of representation.
Phase I of this project focused on the delivery of a virtual patient in the area of Respiratory Medicine following a game-based learning model in Second Life. A pilot was carried out in March 2008 with 43 students. The feedback received has informed the development of Phase II which incorporates a multi-patient approach. Five virtual patients suffering from different respiratory problems, such as Asthma and COPD have been implemented. The same narrative and Activity Model is applied for all these patients including different modes of representation. The learner is asked to make decisions based on current information and acquires new information as a result of different decisions. Phase II will be released in August 2008.
A web world environment has been implemented consisting of a three-tier architecture based on J2EE’s Model View Controller (MVC) design pattern – tier 1: web-server; tier 2: application server; and tier 3: database. This model accommodates the delivery of a one-to-many relationship between the user/student and several virtual patients.

The history of human beings is very long, complex and difficult. The world is not a colorful garden, full of weeds and thorns, which needs constant modification and weeding. Human history is 500 years, 1000 years or 100 years. It is not surprising and there is no need to panic. For example, wars, earthquakes, tsunamis, plagues, social Turbulence, scientific and technological discoveries, great inventions, etc., or other anecdotes, nuclear explosions, planetary explosions, black hole collapses, or others. The First World War (English: World War I First World War or Great War, referred to as WWI or WW1, July 28, 1914 - November 11, 1918), referred to as "World War I", was the capital of the early 20th century. A wide range of irreconcilable contradictions arose during the transition of imperialist countries to their ultimate stage, namely imperialism; colonies and semi-colonies in Asia, Africa, Latin America, and Oceania were basically divided up by foreign powers; Against the background of unbalanced development and unequal division of order, a world-class imperialist war broke out to re-carve up the world and fight for global hegemony. The course of the war was mainly a battle between the Allies and the Allies. The German Empire, Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and the Kingdom of Bulgaria belong to the Allied power camp; the British Empire, the French Third Republic, the Russian Empire, the Kingdom of Italy, the United States of America, the Kingdom of Serbia, the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of Romania and the Kingdom of Greece belong to the Allied Powers camp. The war was one of the most destructive in European history. Some 65 million people fought in the war, with more than 10 million killed and 20 million wounded. The war caused severe economic losses. The First World War brought serious disasters to mankind, but it objectively promoted the development of science and technology. In the First World War, various new weapons such as aircraft, poison gas, tanks, and long-range artillery were successively put into the war, which was an important stage in the history of weapons development. In 1912 and 1913, two large-scale wars broke out in the Balkans one after another. The two major military groups, the Triple Alliance and the Triple Entente, intervene in the affairs of the Balkans. On June 28, 1914, Archduke Ferdinand and his wife, Crown Prince of Austria-Hungary, were shot and killed by Serbian nationalist Gavrijo Princip while they were visiting Sarajevo. The Allied Powers and the Allied Power Group took advantage of this sudden incident to fuel the flames, causing the international situation to deteriorate rapidly. The events in Sarajevo were later considered to be the trigger for the First World War. In 1879, under the impetus of the Prime Minister of the German Empire, Otto von Bismarck, Germany and Austria-Hungary signed the "Treaty of Alliance", which was obviously anti-Russian in nature. Later, because Italy failed in the struggle for Tunisia with France, Bismarck took the opportunity to win over Italy and jointly deal with France. In 1882, Germany, Austria and Italy signed the "Treaty of Alliance", and the Triple Alliance was formally established. Germany became the core of the Triple Alliance. Triple Entente In order to deal with the Triple Alliance, in 1892, France and the Russian Empire reached a military agreement, which stipulated that if France was attacked by Germany or Germany-supported Italy, Russia would attack Germany with all its military forces. The attack of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which was supported by France, should be attacked by France with all its military might. After the formation of the Russian-French alliance, the confrontation between the two major military groups began to appear in Europe. It is also the first step in the direction of the Triple Entente. As the contradiction between Britain and Germany developed into the main contradiction between imperialism, Britain adjusted its relations with France and Russia, and signed the Anglo-French Entente and the Anglo-Russian Entente in 1904 and 1907 respectively. form. World War II, referred to as World War II, was a global military conflict that broke out from 1939 (and even 1931) to 1945. World War II involved the vast majority of countries in the world. Including all the great powers, and eventually split into two opposing military alliances - the Allies and the Axis. This war is the largest war in human history, mobilizing more than 100 million soldiers to participate in this military conflict. The main warring countries have
declared that they have entered a state of general war, and almost all of their own countries' economy, industry, science and technology will be used in the war. Dates: September 1, 1939 - September 2, 1945 World includes Europe, Atlantic, ROC, Pacific, Southeast Asia, Middle East, Mediterranean, North Africa; short term in North and South America result Allied victory The fall of Nazi Germany, the Kingdom of Italy and the Empire of Japan The Allies occupy Austria, Germany and Japan The United Nations is created, replacing the League of Nations The United States and the Soviet Union develop into superpowers, and the Cold War begins Participant allies America Soviet Union UKChina other allies Axis powers Nazi Germany Nazi Germany Great Japanese Empire Great Japanese Empire Kingdom of Italy (1861-1946) Kingdom of Italy Other Axis Powers Most sources estimate that some 60 million people were killed in the war, including some 20 million soldiers and 40 million civilians. (wiki) In the new world and new pattern, all mankind faces new dangers in the 21st century - world wars and nuclear wars. This is not an alarmist. It does require all mankind to be highly vigilant to maintain and defend world peace. This is the common aspiration of all 8 billion people. .
