Major General Samuel Helland briefed the BENS members and gave them a tour of Camp Pendleton's immersive training facilities, including an Iraqi village simulation. The simulated village uses advanced technology like projected images, sound effects, and actors to create realistic training scenarios for Marines. It allows Marines to experience conditions like they would in an actual Iraqi village, preparing them for potential situations involving improvised explosive devices, rocket propelled grenades, and encounters with locals before deployment. The village and its buildings can be reconfigured to provide different challenges during training exercises.

The document discusses the emerging technology of Second Life and its potential applications for nursing simulations. It describes what Second Life is, how to access it, and some of the costs and requirements. Some benefits identified for using Second Life include addressing current needs, adaptability, accessibility, cost-effectiveness, student engagement, and fidelity. Potential challenges include faculty and student hesitation and the need for technical support and integration into curriculum. The document concludes that promoting Second Life's adoption for nursing simulations will require addressing issues related to its relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, opportunities for trialing it, and potential for others to learn from its use.
An excavator fell into a river in the Amazon while working on a gas pipeline project for Petrobras. The operator broke the glass of the excavator to free himself but cut his hand in the process. The blood in the water attracted piranhas near the excavator.

The document summarizes the 2009 NCAA Coaches Tour organized by Morale Entertainment and Armed Forces Entertainment. The tour took 7 NCAA head football coaches on a trip visiting US military bases and troops deployed in Iraq and other regions. At each stop, the coaches met with troops, signed autographs, taught football skills, and participated in question and answer sessions. Some key events included visiting wounded soldiers at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany, playing a flag football game in Iraq, and staying at one of Saddam Hussein's former palaces in Baghdad.
World Record Inaugural Flights Thomas M. Lee Pictorial History - 2016Zodiac Aerospace
Thomas Lee holds a world record of flying the most inaugural (first commercial flights) on brand new aircraft types spanning 50 years. This presentation covers this half century record including maiden flights on the B747, A380, B787, A350 and CSeries aircraft.
The document summarizes events from the Snowball Express charity, which provides wounded military families with a week of activities around Christmas. It describes families arriving at airports to sing carols, being greeted by support groups, and taking charter flights decorated with silly string. The week included visits to historic filming locations, rodeos, shopping, parades, and activities at Cowboys Stadium with NFL players and performers like Gary Sinise supporting the families.

Student Perspectives On Videoconferencing In Teacher Education Final AtLynn Senette
The document summarizes a study examining student perspectives on using videoconferencing in a teacher education program. Students found benefits like increased access and cost-effectiveness, but challenges with technology issues, less flexibility, and inferior lecture delivery compared to in-person. Students engaged more when teachers were experts, tasks were relevant, and technology worked properly. Social presence was higher during on-site interactions than between remote sites. The study confirms prior findings on videoconferencing issues and provides new insights for supporting remote Gaelic teacher training.
Auscultation Of Heart Sounds 4.5 FinalLynn Senette
This document discusses auscultation of heart sounds. It identifies the equipment, anatomical landmarks, and proper technique for listening to heart sounds. Key points covered include using the diaphragm of the stethoscope for high pitched sounds and bell for low pitched sounds. Four main areas are identified for auscultation - the aortic, pulmonic, tricuspid, and mitral regions. Common normal and abnormal heart sounds are also described.
