A large tame pig waiting for her ice-cream by the cafe

She is more athletic than she looks- crosses the street on zebra crossing by fish& chip shop- another regular treat for her. She even walks up and down the beach stairs by the clocktower

The pig’s name is Pumba and she is a well known and much likes Sumner local. She got her usual ice cream from Scarborough Fare today.

Hi Gary- Claude can now help a total non coder create that in React / ExpoSnack. However, if I had had access to a tutorial/ instructional I would have used it πŸ€“

This is really cool, and a great idea! I had no idea someone was selling this. The kit I looked at on their website is $3400, which seems a bit steep to me. Hopefully someone can get some use of the free stuff posted above!

Thank you for this thread. I’ve used Lego minifigures and a 45 degree corflute slope and fibrefill as snow- safer & easier for multiple avalanche burial rescue scenarios

Thank you! Since 2018, how did I not know that. Very popular here in Aotearoa New Zealand. Ski patrol, surf life savers, a few SAR teams and my disaster relief team .

Princess Aiko delivers first official address Princess Aiko delivered an address at the opening ceremony of the 23rd meeting of the World Association for Disaster and Emergency Medicine (WADEM) in Tokyo on Saturday. It was the first time the daughter of Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako has made an address as part of her official duty. The princess noted that Japan has overhauled and upgraded its medical system through its experiences with major disasters, such as the 1995 Great Hanshin Earthquake and the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake. 'I believe this meeting is a meaningful opportunity to pass on your rich experiences and knowledge to young

Have any of you tried the online cybersecurity simulation game β€œHackable Hospital”? It was a EUSEM and will be at WADEM or can be accessed through it’s website. After initial success I am now totally stuck- super frustrating. You would crush it in a blink of your eye @oplopanax.ca #medsky

Kia ora! If you follow me I apologise for lack of content recently. But I’d appreciate your input: Which is your preferred abstract submission portal? Oxford Abstracts, ConfTool , Google Docs , commercial organisers’ own version or any others that you would recommend. Thanks in advance #medsky

Conferences are amazing- people who present are usually passionate and leave you feeling invigorated and inspired. Conferences are expensive and time consuming but great fun- even better if you have a poster or an abstract to present! Choose wisely, some v boring ones too- I won’t say which publicly

Excellent, it sounds as you have a great plan worked out! Build as many personal connections you possibly can because as you may have figured out having people who know you and support you can make all the difference in what is now becoming a highly competitive field πŸšπŸ”οΈπŸ©Ί

You’re most welcome! Are you an ACEM? Currently only 2 spots each year with Auckland HEMS for their PHRM fellowship. Your other avenue is to become a rural PRIME responder. You probably know all of this already but feel free to reach out if I can be of any help πŸ€“

A high quality syllabus for β€œImmediate Self Aid for Lone Workersβ€œ appears to be nonexistent.Most first aid depends on a person other than the injured party delivering the first aid. There is a UK β€œ severely injured β€œ course which covers application of TQ but that’s all I can find.
