Re: Biological Polymers: Crash Course Organic Chemistry #49

"You might think a self regulating factory sounds pretty unbelievable,
but that's pretty much exactly how our bodies work! Our bodies are
full of regulatory mechanisms that keep all the organic molecules we
need to live in balance. In this episode of Crash Course Organic
Chemistry, we'll look at the building blocks that form these
biological polymers, including carbohydrates, proteins, and DNA!"

watched this a 2nd time - it is probably at the level of 2nd or 3rd
year in college chemistry - lots of concepts here

I would still recommend watching this - let the big words bounce off
you - and see what you can pick up

Everybody wants to know how RNA and DNA works - right? And its all
right here in 15 minutes

Biological Polymers: Crash Course Organic Chemistry #49

https://youtu.be/3Pp1AY_lmR4

this is pretty cool - you want to know what rna and dna are all about
- here ya go!

if you have not been in college for 50 years - then this might go
slightly over your head - but the graphics are super great - so you
can sorta turn down the volume and just watch the show - but listen to
the first couple of minutes so you get the intro

bottom line - in 15 minutes you will see stuff that no one has known
for millions of years

note - the carbon ring diagrams are 2 dimensional representation of
complex 3D molecules - and they also account for right handedness vs
left handedness - which is the idea that 2 molecules can be identical
- except that one has the thumb pointing to the right and the other
has the thumb pointing to the left - you know what I mean - your hands
are mirror images of each other - just put them together and check out
the differences - one is right handed and one is left handed - by
definition - and the same thing happens with molecules - you can go to
the vitamin store and buy r-alpha lipoic acid or you can buy l-alpha
lipoic acid - r is much better for you - but we are veering way off
into the weeds now

Re: game plan for memphis

We have asked from the beginning that the Memphis Police Department be
transparent with the family and the community — this news seems to
indicate that they haven't risen to the occasion," attorneys Ben Crump
and Anthony Romanucci said in a statement. "It certainly begs the
question why the white officer involved in this brutal attack was
shielded and protected from the public eye, and to date, from
sufficient discipline and accountability."

ems operating requirements + ems response times

Ione had 2 calls in 2022 - maybe is QRT not amb

QRT can respond with 1 first responder - must have bp cuff +
stethoscope + oxygen

seems they have 1 staffed unit that hits the road in 1 minute - but
turnout times for other units are 5 to 7 minutes - even with 1 call
per day

keywords - response times

even the smallest of ambulance services has extensive quality control
procedures - as required by oregon state law apparently

many medevac services are "joint ventures"

many rotor wing medevac services in the usa are joint ventures -
several different companies or corporations or agencies can be
involved

sometimes a medevac is a "sole proprietorship" - my words - one
company owns and operates the entire operation - like AEL + Reach +
?NW LifeFlight? etc

but many medevac services are far more complicated

the underlying pieces are -

program ownership - who is in charge overall and who holds the "brand"
name / marketing name - who makes a "profit"

helicopter ownership - many are owned by large holding corporations -
maybe some are jointly owned by hospitals - maybe some are solely
owned by hospitals - (need to check faa records for thst info)

pilots - many / most are paid / hired / trained / directed / scheduled
by aviation firms

hangar / crew quarters - many are owned by holding corporations - many
are rented or leased - some are owned by medevac program or hospital I
imagine

mechanics - hired by aviation companies usually

dispatch / communications - some by large companies - some are inhouse

medical staff - mostly employed by hospitals - some are employed by
medevac firms - some are employed by governmental agencies (ie south
florida - couple of counties have medics on private helos)

billing - multi

npi number - many by large holding corps - some by medevac programs -
some by hospitals

admin - varies - meeting state and local regulations - making all the
various parts of the program play nice together - public relations /
web presence - etc

part 135 certificate - aka filling out the FAA paperwork for the
medevac program - usually done by pilot provider - sometimes done by
hospital - FAA tries to keep helos from crashing into things

payroll - probably by whoever hires the staff

supplies and fuel and insurance - ????

quality control - whoever does the hiring

research - ??? - no one ???

===================

note - some helos probably stay on an open helipad and only move to a
hangar for bad weather or maintenance or winter - mostly in the south
we presume

note - some dispatch operations are also joint ventures - AirCom from
Air Methods does joint dispatching with at least one hospital transfer
center - in recent years many large hospitals have set up 'transfer
centers' to coordinate the arrival of patients from outlying hospitals
- they might or might not be colocated with the medevac program

comment from husband

"Our marriage was wonderful and diametrically grew stronger as her
condition rapidly worsened."

(apparently something was going on before the incident - maybe ? post
partum depression ? - or some sort of mental health issue - obviously
it is very rare for a parent to kill a child on purpose)

2020 report on fire volunteers in Minato in Tokyo in Japan

https://www.city.minato.tokyo.jp/chiikibousai/documents/siryoumatome.pdf

next to the pictures of the radios possibly it says the radios are on
the same wavelength as the paid FD

there are 580 volunteer firefighters in Minato approx - around 50 are
women or students - 25 of the women quit - there are only 1 or 2
retired firefighters amongst them

there are 4 volunteer fire brigades in Minato Ward - Shiba has 220
volunteers - Azaba has 120 volunteers - Takanawa has 110 vols -
Akasaka has 130 vols

the total population of Minato Ward is 243,00 as of 2015 per
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minato,_Tokyo - area is 28 square
kilometers - there are many embassies there

the 4 volunteer bridges apparently are based on the ward boundaries
that existed in 1947 - all of the older wards were merged in 1947 to
form the Minato Ward

that is a healthy number of volunteers in a small area - pretty sure
that they only respond during earthquakes or tsunamis or typhoons etc

next to the picture of the mini fire engine and pump cart it says
something about the pump is pretty much permanently affixed to the
mini cargo truck - not sure how the cart fits in - maybe they have 2
portable pumps at their little volunteer stations - 1 on the cart and
1 on the mini cargo truck - or maybe they just have 1 pump; that goes
on the cart; which goes on the mini cargo truck

The Alternative - But the real issue is there are no jobs for high

https://nypost.com/2023/01/28/nyc-man-shot-during-dispute-on-manhattan-subway-nypd/

my guess is - 2 guys shot each other

let see what NYT says -
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/28/nyregion/subway-shooting-lower-manhattan.html
- no mention of a 2nd victim here

I need to change my guess - 1 guy shot by a perp who fled - and 1
associated victim - maybe the associated victim saw the shooting and
started puking - the 2nd guy on the stretcher did not seem to be
receiving any medical care

even with 2 cops in every car and 5 cops in every station - could you
prevent this?

historical info on NZ forest fire engines

Companies with large plantation assets have had to maintain their own
suppression resources, including fleets of fire engines. The 1990
photo on right shows the Kinleith fleet of NZ Forest Products,
including 3 Isuzu 4WD fire engines.? In 1990, Tsman Forestry was
looking after forests valued at $1.6B. For this, it had over 400 staff
and contracters trained in fire suppression, and 15 monsoon buckets,
five 4WD Mercedes Benz engines (3600 litre tanks), two 12,000 litre
slip-on tanks, and an ex-dairy tanker. NZ has been fortunate in that
several companies (Mills Tui, Wormald, Fraser Fire & Rescue, SPEL)
have been capable of building fire engines to high specifications, and
have done so for the NZ Fire Service and rural authorities. In 1989,
Mills Tui completed delivery of 18 Hino GT175 trucks built for
Defence. These had 2900 litre tanks with 2 portable pumps mounted on
the rear deck. Some of these Hino have since been sold to RFAs. And
the Department of Conservation has had a number of engines based on
Hino trucks built to replace the vehicles that were inherited from the
Forest Service.

Post-Forest Service, the requirement of RFAs to meet suppression
responsibilities has seen an upsurge in modern engines and tankers,
usually built to RFA specification on second-hand chassis's by local
engineering firms. This has ensured both innovation and a diveristy in
design. Unlike Fire Service appliances, there are very few with PTO
pumps, with most relying on mounted portable pumps. Water capacities
tend to be larger, and 4WD fire engines are much common.

Canterbury NZ - ESB band radio channels

https://www.john.geek.nz/scannerfreq/Frequencies/Canterbury/esb-band.html

in fact - here you can see that police and fire share a low band
channel in many areas -

radio channels? is it possible that there has been a huge overhaul of
the dispatch systems for the rural fire forces?

New Zealand - nationwide fire radio channels

https://www.radiowiki.org.nz/index.php/Fire_National_Frequencies

this is for the nationwide structural FD

=========================

this lineup is cool

Nationwide CH 1 - Operations
Nationwide CH 2 - Command
Nationwide CH 3 - Logistics
Nationwide CH 4 - Aerial Appliances
Nationwide CH 5 - Safety
Nationwide CH 6 - BASO - ? breathing apparatus safety officer ?
Nationwide CH 12 - Additional Operations

no ch 8,9,10,11 is listed

===============================

not sure what the various zones are - but they have 3 zones and we
know they have 3 fire comm centers - so we can guess that they have 1
zone per comm center

Dept of Conservation has repeaters at 143 mhz - so maybe most forest
fire ops are done there

note - these channels do not totally jive with the aerial fire
channels that we saw in the Otaga plan recently

note - military + industrial + private forestry fire units probably
operate on their own private channels

this website is pretty good - this national fire channels page was
updated in Dec 2022

Trump and Barr lose as ‘deep state’ bomb goes off: Failed DOJ plot revealed in exposé

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-and-barr-lose-as-deep-state-bomb-goes-off-failed-doj-plot-revealed-in-exposé/vi-AA16Ot9M

A New York Times bombshell investigation exposes new details and
"ethical" breaches in the failed effort by Trump Attorney General Bill
Barr to tarr the DOJ, and find a "deep state" bias against Donald
Trump. Barr's handpicked prosecutor failed to find supporting evidence
or win the few cases he filed, and the Times reports intelligence
agencies contradicted Barr's theories -- and ultimately his "strained
justification" for the probe fell apart. MSNBC Chief Legal
Correspondent Ari Melber analyzes the story on the day it broke, and,
while carefully noting there were no alleged crimes, the account
raises other questions of ethics and abuse of power by Barr.

info on NZ wildfire aircraft

https://www.tracplus.com/blog/international-trends-and-the-future-of-aerial-firefighting-in-new-zealand/
- tried to save this at archive.org - unknown if successful

seems they mostly use private aircraft

tourism is big in NZ - maybe that have lots of tourist helicopters
that can be used to fight fires - since the tourists probably dont
want to pay to be smoked out

"In NZ we don't really have large aircraft, but we have a hugely
varied fleet with over 260 off-contracted aircraft, ranging from
400-litre to 2000-litre buckets. If we put three average helicopters
and a fixed wing aircraft in a circuit, with a 5 minute turnaround for
the helicopters and 15 minute turnaround for the fixed-wing water
bomber, we can lay down 40,000 litres an hour with that circuit. So if
you have 3 circuits running, that's a lot of hitting power." - thats
10,000 US gallons per hour approx

Info on NZ fire aircraft tracking system

NZ emergency air ops plan for Otago area

https://web.archive.org/web/20230000000000*/https://www.otagocdem.govt.nz/media/1570/otago-aviation-emergency-support-plan-aesop-v4.pdf

around 40 pages - lists radio channels and airports etc

have NEVER seen any plan like this for the USA - note that they have
even more local plans that list all of the local capabilities

this is not a medevac plan, SAR plan, or a wildfire plan - this is for
general emergencies

===============

for the USA - maybe the plan should be - any aircraft already over the
affected area should circle in a "right hand pattern" at ?2,000? feet
and talk on 121.50 - if there are no aircraft already in the air -
then anyone within 100 to 500 miles should go airborne - circle in a
?right hand pattern? at ?2,000 feet? and talk on 121.50 - possibly
carry a HT on 154.28 or 155.34 or 155.37 or 453.4625 or 851.0125 etc -
hopefully CAP or DOD could get an aircraft up and on 121.50 to relay
comms back to Washington DC or the state capitol or someone

maybe in rural areas 122.75 or 122.70 or 122.925 or some such aviation
channel would be better than 121.50 - but 121.50 seems to be the most
widely known radio channel in the aviation world

What a tragedy, yet where is the Governor proposing building more
secure mental health facilities with the rainy-day fund or increasing
the budget for outpatient facilities? Where are the state
representative, the Senator and Congressman from that district and
where are Senators Warren and Markey to get something done while this
tragic story is fresh in everyone's minds? Two weeks from now this
will be a non-story, and nothing will be done and the money needed.to
deal with this problem will be flowing to defense contractors with
kickbacks to Biden and his crime family. Wake up America, our
priorities are all wrong and innocent children are being slaughtered.

and how - iirc in Psyche 101 in 1976 we were taught that sometimes
people have a "psychotic break" - you will see news reports from
neighbors and friends who say that the person was totally normal - and
then they just loose it - and kill a bunch of people - this must be a
very well known phenomena / situation among psychiatrists

with cal fire and usfs in the hills and the mountains - and the cities

12 pm must be midnight - we count from 1 minute after noon to midnight
- the time goes from 1 minute to 12 hours and 0 minutes

or is 12 pm at noon? - do we count the afternoon as 1200 1201 1202
1203 to 1158 1159 then midnight

maybe it depends if we are using military time or standard time - one

Re: Duxbury MA - MCI at a house

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mKpDta0Cpg0RqvAJ2fDcPe3K9zHvIHYL/view?usp=sharing

radio recording for duxbury fd - call announced at 2000 on the tape -
1 ambulance and 1 engine and 1 suv sent - nothing on the tape from
0000 to 2000 - initial call for jumper with knife and neck wounds - no
mention of kids till 2604 ish on tape - and then crap hits fan

cops were probably yelling like crazy on their channel

If I told you .....

If I told you that 99% of the fire dispatchers in the USA have
absolutely no idea that anyone hears them when they dispatch a call -
would you believe me?

I might be off by 9% - but unless there are some automatic fault
detection schemes - and some automatic call receipt schemes - then my
statement is 100% correct

think about it - the dispatcher has to activate speakers in fire
houses or to activate pagers via radio - 99% of the time there is no
way for the dispatcher to know if anyone has heard the dispatch
message - until the station or unit pushes a button, answers the
phone, or calls in via radio - and this can take anywhere up to 5
minutes

Duxbury MA - MCI at a house

https://www.wcvb.com/article/duxbury-massachusetts-summer-street-crime-scene/42645654

the best case response to the 911 call would have been 4 ambulances
and 4 or 8 paramedics and 4 EMTs and 4 medevacs - there is only 1
hospital nearby - it is 5 to 7 miles away iirc - they probably have 1
MD on duty in the ER plus 2 or 3 RNs - a medevac helo is only 10 miles
away - they would have 1 pilot and 2 medics onduty

the actual response might have been 1 cop + 1 ambulance with 2 medics
+ 1 fire engine with 3 EMTs

duxbury does have 3 FWD ambulances - https://massfiretrucks.com/FD
Info Pages/DUXBURY FIRE.htm

duxbury usually has 5 people on duty - 3 at sta 1 plus 2 at sta 2

duxbury has a total of 23 ff/medics + 8 FF/EMT - per the fd website -
all but 3 are fulltime - if they all live in duxbury and they all have
pagers or phone apps - and if a page went out immediately when the 911
call was received - then it is possible that they had 3 ambulances and
10 medics on scene in 5 to 9 minutes (depending on the locations and
calls in progress) - which would have been very impressive

lets check the tape and see what actually happened

samu ambulances have a doctor onboard

any hospital with an emergency room must have 2 operating rooms that
are staffed at all times

fire departments can bill for ambulance calls - most people have
insurance to cover the cost

not sure if I believe all of that - it would mean that every hospital

of them

https://youtu.be/rH3qA01CGgs - 5 minute video

crash trucks meet plane on runway for small leak

looked like a Alert 2 - just the airport units responded plus 1 red
pumper and 1 red ambulance - maybe Sta 95

FD units on AM called "R1" "R2" etc

do you want 1 or 2 engines shut down? yes

openness - live scanner audio

we have never actually heard fd to aircraft comms on AM before - you
have to be very close to hear them

the firefighter on the runway probably just had a 800 HT

Portland OR FD - 64 page union contract

https://www.portland.gov/sites/default/files/2021/portland-fire-fighters-association-labor-contract-07-01-2019-to-06-30-2023.pdf

the word "radio" does not appear in the document anywhere - same for
the word "golf"

ergo - no requirement that every firefighter have a working portable
radio with a working emergency button that actually works in the
workplace while working - interesting

there are all sorts of crazy stuff in the 64 pages - 6 hours pay for 1
hour work - labor days off - approx 50 different pay levels - etc etc
etc

no minimum staffing requirements either
