Logbook of Captain Emiliano Bruni

The penguin's Teramo and is still alive. This is shown by the last general meeting of Teramo Linux Users Group, held in the space is now becoming the preferred meeting place for those of TeLUG, the restaurant La Rusticana City Sant'Angelo.

First is a duty for an explanation of why the LUG of Teramo meets at a local Pescara. The explanation is simple, though Teramo, the TeLUG includes members throughout the region and Pescara appears to be a midpoint equidistant to all those who participate in these returnees.

For this occasion there were five

but it does hurt to think what is decisive is the quality. Between a pizza and a beer many things were put on fire and, in particular, it was decided to introduce an event to be organized in Controguerra for primary schools, along the lines of 'event Crecchio, our participation in' OpenDay and the reorganization of the site of TeLUG to make it more "portal" with a CMS to make it easy to update content by all members.

A margin is the final step of hand

the TUX Case got to TeLUG during LUGConference 2006 and held until now by good Heber.

Excellent opportunity to meet, discuss and fun. A brief info about our new initiatives.

Other photos of the evening be found here and have all been made by Maury.

Yesterday I had the authority from chiefs to publish all photos, high-resolution simulation held by the civil protection in a pine forest that tell you briefly my previous article.

Eye, as in the previous article, here too there are pictures of simulated injuries of course, being very realistic, may not be suitable for highly sensitive people.

I managed to download nearly three hundred pictures, all at high resolution, you can see, zoom and download individually from my site on Flickr.

If you prefer you can instead view them all in full screen, in sequence as a presentation machine.

The same sequence automatically, in miniature, is available below.

First, a premise. All photographs of wounds in this article are obviously being very realistic simulated but may be not suitable for highly sensitive people. In case of illness the number to call is 118.

Yesterday there was a Pineto simulation coordinated between civil protection and health training project within the regional associations belonging to 'ANPAS.

The simulation provides for the intervention at the town hall where there was a fire in place and involved principally the top field of civil protection with regard to the coordination of rescue operations and the management and eventual removal of the fire itself. The emergence then proceeded, in health, with the identification, management and transfer of the wounded event. A second event also included an incident in which he was involved a van full of boys.

But, as we usually go with order.

The appointment, for men and women of the Green Cross of Villa Rosa Martinsicuro is at 06.30 am for the preparation of resources and facilities and the scheduled departure Pineto at 07:00.

It starts with a Jeep and a half later. Here's our exit a14 at Pineto right on time at 07.57.

Unfortunately the other 16 groups are not well-off and then get a little 'piece-meal in the next two hours including the white cross of Alba Adriatica, the white cross of Teramo, the prose of pine forest, the Angolan Montesilvano and so on in addition to a small representation of the City of Castle.

Almost the last to arrive in large civil protection Mosciano Sant'Angelo with their powerful pieces including un'autoscala of over 30 meters wide.

Just enough time for a quick briefing and a group photo (you can enlarge by clicking on the picture below)

and we are ready to go. Obviously leaving before the civil protection assets delegates to check the situation on the ground, secure the scene and then alerted the emergency vehicles.

Unfortunately, early communication is a bit 'confused you too discreet distance from the location of ambulances than the event location and the lack of a radio link up hill, but when the ambulance approached everything becomes clearer. From the operations center there is a general demand for all ambulances sent to the area for the management of the wounded.

Your captain with the other brown Green Cross (now nicknamed "The twins are different") were placed in a health club with friends from the cross Angolana

We then slingshot sirens on the fire: the town hall of Pineto. We are the first or perhaps the second ambulance on the scene and then when we enter the scene is still quite a virgin. In turn people wounded and bruised. We travel, coordinated by the officer-in-chief of civil protection to the most seriously wounded and immediately treated in particular on the landing of the second floor, a young man unconscious with a deep wound on his left cheek and, in particular, an amputation of a phalanx of left index finger. Note, in the photo below, the index on the cloth, and note also my first mistake was not put your finger in the ice. On the right, your captain in the act of placing the Saturimetri for the evaluation of the patient's vital signs.

We continue however the treatment of the patient

immobilization until the spoon stretcher and ambulance transport to the ground and advanced medical posts (PMA) prepared by the civil protection

Sbarelliamo and, leaving the patient with advanced treatment, back again on the scene. This time we expect the third floor, a girl polytraumatized

with various head injuries and head trauma with probable probable fracture to the radius / ulna and tibia sinist right.

Here, the treatment of wounded is a bit 'longer. The longer it would have been anyway because the patient is then brought ashore through the hoist mounted sull'autoscala and then the procedure of transport is already perceived as slower, but the devil takes his own.

We climb it with a handbag in three emergency oxygen but omit the splint indispensable in this case. Also the nurse on the scene explicitly require spinal board although, personally, we could put a spoon quietly on the stretcher. The driver arrived shortly after us must get back three flights of stairs to get to and to bring cord spider and steccobbende.

Pending the driver is also the time to provide emergency assistance to a rescuer who has felt ill and fainted before my eyes.

Then leave the rescuer in the hands of a new rescue team and, with the arrival of the driver, place your steccobbende and we are preparing to place the spinal procedure with the log-roll. First, I should have much to say on a log-roll without it there is someone in the head to stabilize the cervical spine but do not. Then I'm going to position the spider or the better we feel. Apparently, in fact, the nurse does not agree on the positioning of the spider because, according to her, I'm putting it in reverse. A little 'indulge in the flask. Final result: a beautiful cord with spider backwards and photos and sfottò appendages. Oh, and what about a patient on a cord that was NOT put any cervical collar?

Apart from anything else the patient is sent down with the litter and we, in waiting for the girl you get there, the sky, on the stretcher

At this point we carry "the package" to the PMA and completed the first part of the simulation.

In the second part, a van full of kids had an accident and inside is a hell.

We arrive on site and carry a patient on polytraumatized cord. Time collar and spider are the right place. Once past but two would be ridiculous.

Also, before you go away, because I'm in a splint idle hands, seized the opportunity to block the right leg of the poor Letizia, she also involved in the incident on

This time the simulation is truly over. Happily collect our things before having tasted a hearty dish of tortellini cooked in the form prepared for the occurrence of an association of the Marche.

and to have complimented the chef of an encore.

Ultimately we go home happy and with the knowledge they have learned and thorough procedures in the field and putting them into practice is assimilated only live with the hope that this will remain always and only just a simulation.

A special mention to the municipality of Pineto, all'ANPAS regional and especially the talented makeup artists who were able to make truly effective the wounds of patients. Here's a rundown of wounds in art, starting with a right hand with a severe burn of II degree

to proceed with a "beautiful" fracture

and always in the arms issue, fue pretty bloody wounds

gladness and the poor disfigured by an injury to his left temple lacerocontuso

and, finally, a photo "positive", but glad wounds.

Now I ask you: "do not seem real?

On November 20, 2009 I attended, along with colleagues from the Green Cross of Villa Rosa, a local civil defense exercise on the search for missing people. The simulation took place at the border between Alba Adriatica and Martinsicuro and, specifically, at the mouth of the river Vibrata.

Participating in the simulation, in addition to the mentioned Green Cross of Villa Rosa is within the area "civil protection" is within the area "health", including the protection of civil Mosciano Sant'Angelo, the White Cross in Alba Adriatica and a detachment of the army Italian.

I am part of the fourth course, the research team called "Team Delta". With me, who plays the role of rescuer of the group and then fitted with the backpack of emergency

is the foreman and another "veteran" of the Green Cross. Completing the group two new elements which have just completed the course of civil protection.

Here is the account of the operation as experienced by myself and my team.

[20:30 Zulu Time]

[21.00 Zulu Time]

We reach the roundabout and look, by radio, the positioning of the other teams and the way of operations

[21:10 Zulu Time]

Got the green light, we begin the reconnaissance of the beach equidistanziandoci with each other and began research on the ground to comb. We begin to find various clothing possibly belonging to two missing; sweaters, men's pants, a hat and then a bag lady. Indeed, in a real situation I would almost think that played to nine and a half weeks along the beach. COM Comuque communicating continuously with the various findings and points where the garments were found.

[21:30 Zulu Time]

[21:45 Zulu Time]

We have now risen more than halfway river before the bridge of Via Roma. On the way is the Delta / A that the Delta / B have found several traces refer to the two missing. The fact of the COM that we are finding stuff is on the north side than on the south bank became suspicious the operator. Oh yes, it is now clear. The information received in the initial briefing was not accurate. The Delta team was not in fact divide. Directives are therefore of COM is obviously impossible to meet before reaching the bridge in Via Roma. Then continue along the river to rejoin the team.

[22:00 Zulu Time]

[22:10 Zulu Time]

[22:20 Zulu Time]

Subsequent requests to the COM to understand that the ankle problem is in the Mail Beta team embankment south of vibrato. The ambulance team to reach this part.

[22:30 Zulu Time]

Bored by the fact that things are happening elsewhere and we are still catering to ask the COM guidelines about what to do. Apparently, once again, someone has misunderstood or someone has explained badly. Did not have to stop. The control unit then communicates to return. Then take Via Magenta to return to base camp.

[22:35 Zulu Time]

At the intersection of Via Balbi and Via del Pineto, we meet a civil defense volunteer who asks us if we saw several ambulances because, just along the country road before they crashed a car with two people on board who have applied for assistance but still nothing has arrived. We understand at this point that both ambulances went to help the volunteer with the ankle and that none has arrived here. Decide to continue as health care, along with Team Delta, along the country road to help relief efforts.

[22:45 Zulu Time]

As you approach the car crashed with the ambulance. There is then requested from the central return to base camp. Inclined to believe that the road we are traveling to reach the promenade continue.

[22:50 Zulu Time]

The road continues to deteriorate to a close, less than thirty meters from the seafront Italy. For those who are watching the map on Google Maps. The last stretch of road that on Google joins the promenade on "La Villa Srl" simply does not exist. We decide to continue along the campaign by making its way through weeds and shrubs.

[22:55 Zulu Time]

We are now about five meters from the road. A separation, a deep ditch about five feet and a hedge. We reach a point where the hedge is sparse, we descend into the ditch and not easily able to reach the road and return to the car.

[23:20 Zulu Time]

What can I say to conclude and sum up the record of this experience. Surely something very beautiful and educational. I never imagined that one day I went up the creek at night Vibrata and still be left with no problems is already perceived as a victory marked by the fact that for over half an hour, I was still in charge of a mini -team with two novices, and even then nothing happened irreparable.

A little 'disappointed rethinking the work done by other clubs compared with the marginal operated by us. Surely the problems of communication during the briefing and during the entire event have weighed on this, but on the other hand, practice does just that. Also if you really wanted to criticize the COM communication during the briefing, we can not forget that if at the time of the division's team had informed the COM our intention to divide us as instructed, surely would have been immediately corrected the misunderstanding and we would then continued exercise by following the correct guidelines of the COM and maybe things would have unfolded differently.

But as said, practice does just that, to improve and reduce the error margins entire operation.

Ultimately it is therefore an experience to repeat as soon as possible and in fact I will be Sunday, December 13th, all day, a new civil defense exercise, this time seems on the hydrogeological instability. Expect then tumbler, any direct live and, of course, a new report.

Yesterday big night game in Green Cross Villa Rosa (TE), starring the legendary Wii that has always made me laugh, entertain, and especially those who have had the patience to sweat to put the nose outside the home and visit us.

So many games to begin the ever proposed version Tennis Wii Sports, and more evolved Grand Slam in the fun as Mario Power Tennis.

Obviously the highlight had to be one dedicated to Mario Kart with real fun and laughter to creapapelle

But obviously there have been tough moments with harsh challenges thanks to Wii Box. If you do not believe me look at the legendary duel between Artemio and Silvano.

Fantastic in the video, my phrase "it ends at points" and after a few seconds Artemio knocks Silvano.

Other important challenges to Wii Box, Mariano Vs Antonella surprisingly won by the latter and Paul (author of the photos) Vs Melanie.

The evening ends around 1 .00 not before he can try a bit 'of Bowling, Baseball and especially archery.

By many to respond to the request for the event have their revenge for that, surely, before Christmas, expect a Green Cross Party Wii Resort

A bit 'of days ago I noticed that the street maps of the territory of present Controguerra on OpenStreetMap were very scarce as to be practicable only through the SP2 and a piece of the ring

For those who do not know, OpenStreetMap is a free editable map of the world, built largely from scratch using GPS traces, and released under a free license.

The OpenStreetMap License allows free access and use of images of the map and all the data used to create it.

In the final version is an "open" and "non commercial" of the various maps such as those present on the waterway, or Google Maps. The difference is that, being free, anyone can use it to create, for example, a navigator, or to insert a map on its website.

Because OpenStreetMap provides all the tools to edit the world map, I decided, in my small way, to add any information of my country.

Behold, as it is now the map of the same area

Sure, there is still much, like the whole street that leads to Tronto and Colonel, now, does not exist and there are still a bit 'narrow streets controguerresi but if you go to see the live version Enlarge definitely notice many more details than the photo above.

Therefore if you see a fool around the streets of Controguerra without any goal, Never mind, he's just doing a little 'healthy GPS tracking

Thanks to Maury, added more photos of LinuxDay. All Photos can be found here, in particular, here's the group photo at the end of the event.

Great day yesterday for the operating system Linux, the fulcrum of a series of events dedicated to him in over 120 cities. In Teramo we celebrated appropriately at the Auditorium of the 'Istituto Tecnico Commerciale and Programmers "Blaise Pascal" of Teramo.

Big turnout of the public, especially in the morning with over 300 appearances.

Very concerned, given the location, to talk sul'E-learning held by Paul Gatti and Paul Piersanti

Equally interesting for those of Raffaele Dell'Aversana the likely successor to Java, Scala

Boys tired and noisy than that of the undersigned on Perl

The afternoon devoted to an audience closer to home use with seminars on the use of Firefox (Valeria Durante), aware and safe use of electronic mail messages using encryption technologies and kstar, a global open source really catchy (Mauritius Antonelli).

This year, much attention has been given to the event by the press with a recovery by the TG3 Repubblica.it region and that in his article on national LinuxDay quotes so our event:

Ultimately, an event fully managed by the joint organization of TeLUG and teachers of the school that our hosts, excellent speakers and the attentive audience.

A big thanks especially go to all the speakers, which I believe is unique in the world, have remained largely on schedule by their actions allowing early closure of the morning session of almost 40 minutes and closing on time that afternoon.

Thank you all and see you at LinuxDay 2010 in Teramo.

I read from Repubblica.it, in relation to damage caused by the weather today, a scoop extraordinary. I thought it Giulianova in the province of Teramo and instead

I discover that, unbelievably, a referendum has requested annexation to the province of Ancona.

Well, if Lily is in the province of Ancona, then my house can safely be considered in the province of Rimini.

Update: Christian I am right in saying one thing on which I had not thought about it. Perhaps the bad weather has caused much more damage than expected and the tornado carried Giulianova Ancona. Well, i will be happy Teramo . I am a bit 'less because now, to take the train, I have to go to Ancona

Saturday afternoon dedicated to spinning than in Teramo, at the gym, "Club Interamnia. A Long Ride spinning, 120 minutes of hard physical effort on the bike fixed accompanied by instructors of the caliber of Tiziana Di Fabio (JGSI star 1), Antonio Merletti (JGSI star 1), Mirko Levers (JGSI star 2) and Massimo Notarantonio (JGSI star 2).

Before proceeding to summarize the event held a note of credit must be given to the location that hosts the event. A really nice gym. Parking with a lift that descends directly inside the gym, floor -1 for the part of fitness and floor -2 for the pool. A location very clean locker rooms with huge and flawless.

The place where you kept the Long Ride was covered with a cozy annex covering wooden parquet floor and glass doors to close the premises. With sliding doors, generously opened the event had all the advantages of indoor workout without suffering heat stroke, and the inevitable effects of foul air of a classic ride for two hours in a closed room.

Excellent bikes, new and in perfect condition for which there was no question of choice and having arrived well in advance of the event, allowed me to move the front row.

Start looking around the long ride and I realize that we were yes and no 20/25 bikers. However, taking into account the number of bikes that were prepared and the small number of empty ones, taking into account the size of the space devoted to the ride that was so big boy but it could contain up to 30/40 bikers. Based on these considerations, I suppose it was more or less the target estimated by the organizers.

First thirty minutes spent on heating and the increase in heart rate under the pressure of Tiziana Di Fabio.

An instructor from the tone clear and decisive. Each change in technique was previously described and all the essential moments, released in a jump, falls into the saddle, changes of technique were all perfectly understandable.

His session, apart from the obvious first part devoted to heating was characterized by the jump. Jump to eight times, jump and then jump to four times to eight times.

The only known about this cute instructor, his involuntary tendency to do the echo with the microphone. Indeed it was often heard expressions like "eph ... .. eph eph eph ..." and the like.

Second session, accompanied by Antonio Merletti, Marcantonio a belief over a six feet high.

First few minutes a little 'subdued but then recovered to a great session and as a technique is really good at theatrical with him often in front of us to urge them to bring out the best in the effort we were making.

Una prima sessione molto veloce in sella e poi diciotto minuti di montagna con tornanti in sella, uscite in terza posizione e alcuni brevi accellerazioni fuoritempo veramente sfiancanti.

Una sessione veramente molto bella e concentrata.

La seconda ora inizia con, ai comandi, una nostra vecchia conoscenza: Mirko Leve, già presente alla long ride di Controguerra .

Come li anche a Teramo Mirko ci ha proposto dei jump 4 tempi intervallati da momenti di recupero. Un primo loop di 8 serie per poi crescere a 16 e infine per giungere a 24 jump 4 tempi consecutivi che hanno spezzato il fiato a molti. A completamento della sessione, lunghi tornanti in terza posizione.

Ultima mezz'ora con l'accompagnamento vocale di Massimo Notarantonio, patron della manifestazione.

Una prima sessione in pianura, in sella, con delle accellerazioni fuori tempo dopo un duplice incremento di resistenza, quindi rientro in tempo, un decremento e un uscita in jump per recuperare, il tutto ripetuto 4/5 volte.

Quindi un tratto centrale con vari jump e poi un ultima parte in salita con delle accellerazioni fuori tempo in terza posizione dopo un duplice incremento, un recupero del tempo e un decremento con rientro in sella. Veramente esaltante.

Ultima nota, sembra che a fine evento sia stato offerto una coppa di frutta a tutti i partecipanti. Io purtroppo sono andato via prima della doccia e quindi non posso dirvi come sia stata questa parte. Spero che qualcuno che ha vissuto anche la conclusione di questa ride possa raccontarvi, nei commenti, quest'abbuffata di frutta.

Per quanto mi riguarda, il ritorno a casa è stato caratterizzato dalla consueta diretta per i commenti a caldo che trovate qui sotto.

Sabato 24 ottobre è la giornata nazionale del LinuxDay 2009 con lo scopo di promuovere Linux e il software libero a cui, ad oggi, hanno aderito oltre ottanta città.

Nella provincia di Teramo, l'evento viene organizzato dal Teramo Linux Users Group , di cui mi onoro di essere presidente, e si svolge dalle ore 09.00, e per tutta la giornata, presso l' Istituto Tecnico Commerciale e per Programmatori "Blaise Pascal" di Teramo, in via Andrea Bafile, 39 .

Ovviamente tutti gli amanti, gli utilizzatori e gli appassionati di computer sono invitati a partecipare.

Se poi qualcuno avesse un argomento interessante di cui vorrebbe parlare relativamente al mondo di Linux e dell' Open Source o avesse fatto esperienza su un particolare strumento relativamente a questo mondo e volesse condividere la propria esperienza con gli altri allora lo invito a proporre un seminario per il LinuxDay partecipando al Call for paper e diventando relatore del LinuxDay.

Per tutte le altre informazioni, vi invito a visitare la pagina dell'evento ea registrarvi per avere un posto in prima fila. Il programma definitivo sarà pubblicato dopo il 18 ottobre per permettere a tutti gli interessati di proporre un talk.
