Using live virtual disk merge in Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V
Live virtual disk merge, a new feature in Windows Server 2012 R2, allows snapshots to be restored without downtime. Expert Brien Posey explains how.
How does the live virtual disk merge option work in Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V?

One of the most useful features in Microsoft's Windows Server (WS) 2012 R2 Hyper-V is the ability to create snapshots, which have been renamed checkpoints in WS 2012 R2. Snapshots allow you to roll an entire virtual machine (VM) back to an earlier point in time without having to do a traditional restoration or a backup. One big change Microsoft will be implementing in WS 2012 R2 Hyper-V is a feature called live virtual disk merge. To understand the benefit of this feature, you have to know a little bit about the way Hyper-V snapshots work.
When you create a snapshot in Hyper-V, you are not actually creating a backup copy of your data. Instead, Hyper-V is creating a differencing disk and establishing a parent-child relationship between the differencing disk and the parent virtual hard disk (VHD). When this happens, the original VHD becomes read-only, and all write operations are directed to the new differencing disk. This allows the original VHD to remain in a pristine state. If a snapshot needs to be restored, the differencing disk is simply removed, and all read/write operations are redirected to the original VHD.
Obviously, Hyper-V does not limit you to creating only a single snapshot. Within reason, snapshots can be created on an as-needed basis. Each time a new snapshot is created, a new differencing disk is also created. Each differencing disk has a hierarchical relationship to the differencing disk that was created before it.
Creating multiple snapshots gives the administrator the option of rolling the VM back to one of many different points in time. The problem is that the accumulation of snapshots can dramatically impact the read performance of the VM.
When data needs to be read, Hyper-V is smart enough to know that the most recently created differencing disk contains the most recent data. As such, it will check the most recent differencing disk first. If the requested data is not found on that differencing disk, Hyper-V will then backtrack through the hierarchy, checking one differencing disk at a time until it finds the data it needs. As such, the impact on the read performance is directly proportional to the number of differencing disks.
The key to restoring a VM's performance is to get rid of unnecessary differencing disks. Hyper-V has always had an option that you could use to delete an unwanted snapshot. Deleting a snapshot does not actually remove it; it simply merges the snapshot data with either the parent VHD or with another differencing disk (depending upon the location of the differencing disk in the hierarchy).
However, differencing disks can only be merged when the VM is off-line. If a company wants to clean up its Hyper-V snapshots, it will have to reboot the VM to complete the process. Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V addresses this problem through a new feature called live merge. As the name implies, live merge will allow differencing disks to be merged together while the VM remains online. This will give organizations with mission-critical VMs a new way to restore performance without having to take the VM offline.

The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to all the cars, trucks, and SUVs in today's marketplace. Obviously, you bought your Breeze because you understood you would be getting efficiency and fun both rolled up into one vehicle. While it's not hard to buy replacement parts for Plymouth vehicles, these days only the highest quality are required to repair your automobile. You purchased your Breeze because its dependability and economical pricing agreed with your nature; so why would you settle for second rate when it comes to the highest quality auto parts?
Your fuel-injected engine requires constant communication between the engine control module and the throttle position sensor to maintain the best balance between power and gas mileage. The throttle position sensor on your Plymouth Breeze reads how far open the butterfly plates are inside the throttle body and reports this to the ECU. At wide open throttle it may downshift and flood the fuel injectors for more power, or reduce fuel consumption when you let off the accelerator. Either way, your engine's performance really depends on the Plymouth Breeze throttle position sensor.
Don't let a broken Throttle Position Sensor bring about the demise of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't risk lowering its resale value by installing anything but the best replacement parts. Given all the hassles associated with installing a part to fix your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the number one store you go to make purchasing it easy. At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members here with enough expertise to help you purchase the appropriate Plymouth Breeze part for your needs. Need 2000, 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996 Plymouth Breeze Throttle Position Sensor parts? We've got them right here.

Eighth-grader ready to lead at OLMC
Even at the tender age of 13, Emily Rose Marshall knows where her priorities lie.
The eighth-grade student at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel School was recently elected president of her school, an honor she has worked hard to achieve. Previously, she served as vice president and secretary.
"The kids in this school are so friendly and cooperative," says the daughter of Wayne Marshall of Bristol, and Jody Benevides of Warren. "This is my ninth year at Mt. Carmel School and I've enjoyed every minute of it."
Soon to be 14 on Dec. 20, Emily is the classic example of a young, progressive student who has achieved much recognition during the brief time she has spent in and out of the classroom. She has led by example. Her classmates know it and her teachers applaud her efforts.
"Emily is a responsible young lady whom I have watched grow not only academically, but also emotionally," said her teacher, Jessica Carlson. "She is a pleasure to have in class. She is very helpful and creative. She takes her time in completing her assignments as well as her projects.
Ms. Carlson continued, "Emily is very active in her school as well as outside of school. She is currently Student Council president at OLMC. She is a fine Catholic leader for our students. She is at every Mt. Carmel event and tries to get other students involved as well. I have known Emily for nine years. I hope that she accomplishes all her dreams. I will miss her when she leaves Mt. Carmel, however I know that she will do great in high school."
And speaking of high school, Emily has her sights set directly on St. Mary Academy Bay View.
"I really hope I can go to Bay View next year," she said with a smile. "I've visited there several times and love the atmosphere. It's a great environment for me to meet new people, learn new things, and do great things. I really want to continue my Catholic education."
Emily's dad, says his daughter has been such a wonderful young girl to bring up.
"She's a great kid," Mr. Marshall said. "She has never given us any problems. She's very well-liked and she really enjoys doing volunteer work."
"Emily is a very kind girl and extremely dedicated in everything she does," said her mother. "Wayne and I have been blessed. She's an honor student, and very thoughtful and sweet. She always worries about others instead of herself."
Over the years, Emily hasn't been afraid to get involved in a number of community events and school activities. She has danced at Shannon's School of Dance (2003-2004) in Bristol, and performed at Extensions School of Dance Studio (2006-2008). She also was a cheerleader for the Bristol-Warren Mustangs.
In 2008, she began riding horseback at Windswept Farm, and in 2010 she started playing volleyball for her school team. Emily continued to take part in sports activities from 2007-2010, competing in gymnastics at East Bay Gymnastics. At the same time, she joined the Barrington Bayside YMCA and followed her true love...swimming.
"Swimming is my favorite sport," she said, without hesitation. "I love this sport better than anything." She now swims on the Kingfish certified junior USA swim team at Roger Williams University.
In addition, Emily has been a Girl Scout for five years, earning her Bronze Award. She is currently working on her Silver Award.
"Through Girl Scouts," she said, "I've helped with several community service projects including cooking for the Ronald McDonald House and local community service groups." She's assisted in the cleanup of several beaches, and helped out younger and older people of the community.
"I love being involved with the community and children," she said. "Last year, a girl with autism was enrolled in my school. This really had a big impact on my seventh-grade year because my teachers and principal personally asked me to be her guide and counselor for the year."
At Our Lady of Mt. Carmel School, the only parochial school in Bristol serving students in grades Pre-K through eighth-grade, Emily has also participated in activities such as parties, dances, fundraisers and choral events.
"I have been in the school chorus since 2009 and sang in the church choir and also played piano," she noted. "In fifth-grade, I joined the cross country team, which lead me to running many other races."
Emily has also had a passion for theater. For the past two years, she's been active at Footlights Rep in Swansea, and has acted in four plays. She recently auditioned for Willy Wonka Jr. and was cast in three separate roles.
Asked if she has to study hard to attain good grades in school, Emily responded in a positive tone. "Things come easy for me. They come naturally. I love the teachers at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. If you don't do things right, they get on you. But, that's a good thing."
For the time being, Emily says she doesn't have time for boyfriends. She enjoys watching movies like "Titanic" (her favorite), and has a passion for all types of food, especially Italian. She's just a normal teenager who has created a perfect balance between education and community and social awareness.
"I'm going to miss Our Lady of Mt. Carmel School when I leave here next spring," she said. "But, I'm looking forward to the challenges ahead. Someday I'd like to be a nurse. That's my goal."

I have the same difficulty. I never used Evolution before but after upgrading to 13.04, I decided to install Evolution. However, I am unable to receive and send emails. The configuration I use is pretty standard and still I have no access to emails. Please help!
Below are the settings I have used:

Old TV Channels May Ease Data Crunch
Making use of unused TV frequencies could help alleviate the forthcoming wireless data crunch when millions more devices are connected to the "Internet of things."
The amount of wireless traffic is going to rocket in the next few years, says Luke D'Arcy, business development manager for wireless at Cambridge Consultants. We are in their Cambridge Science Park HQ to celebrate the company's 50th anniversary.
It is not just because of the demand for smartphones — currently only 10% of phones are "smart" but each one uses eight times as much data — but the future demands of a plethora of devices such as smart gas meters, remote sensors and the like, each one connected to the net.

The Swiss civil engineering and road construction company, Tozzo AG, demonstrate how they are using an asphalt paver with on-board precision to give a perfect new finish to a stretch of motorway between Berne and Zurich with a solid four-layer asphalt cover.
In many other countries, the surface of motorways comprises of three layers of asphalt, but the Swiss even add a fourth layer. Tozzo AG has applied that method on a nine-kilometre-long section of the A1 motorway between Berne and Zurich where the concrete cover developed cracks after 45 years of constant stress. The concrete cover was replaced with a solid four-layer asphalt cover and the heavily traveled section widened to six lanes.
Together with other partner firms, Tozzo was responsible for a large scope of services ranging from the removal of the concrete pavement, to the earthworks and grading, all the way to the application of the new asphalt cover. However, the company dispensed with conventional surveying and staking entirely. Instead, its construction machinery performed nearly all of the work with on-board precision instruments.
Surveyor, Roger Sprenger, explained in detail how the concept worked: "We don't use iron and cord anymore at all, but rather we use the fixed-point grid created by the owner together with the digital planning data. The drivers operating our machinery receive all of the Geo-data and planning information via the measurement and control systems. This offers huge savings in terms of personnel and man-hours."
One after another, the hydraulic excavators form the rough sub-grade, and the tracked bulldozer pushes the sub-base and does the fine grading. Then, three asphalt pavers make their appearance. The lead paver in the middle of the trio, a Vögele Super 1900-2 from Tozzo's fleet of machinery, was specially equipped for the motorway project.
Its new fixture – a single LPS unit for elevation adjustment with additional GPS support for controlling the direction of travel – provided the required precision and kept system costs reasonable. "With the machinery control system, we install only the foundation layer and the base course of the asphalt cover," added Sprenger. "The thickness of the layers formed in this way is already so precise that we can then lay the binder course and the surface course as a floating installation."
Sometimes, such as on rainy days when the asphalt installation had to be suspended, the project partners used their trio of pavers to form the fine grading. Since all of the Geo-data, positioning data and scheduling data were available, the pavers could switch from one section of the construction site to another very rapidly. That made the overall operation more flexible. Separate tasks can be coordinated with one another on short notice and adverse weather conditions caused fewer delays in the progress of the project overall.
At the time of writing this case study, an interim review showed favorable results. That was the halfway point for the main work of the motorway project. Up to that point, everything had gone according to schedule and all asphalt samples measured within the specified tolerances. Despite high investment costs, Tozzo was confident that the machinery technology used would ultimately reduce the cost of performing the work, because the higher quality reduces the risk of deductions.

BRITISH star Mike Conway is teaming up with a living legend in a bid to get
his career back on track.
The IndyCar ace has signed to drive next season for the team run by four-time
Indianapolis 500 winner AJ Foyt.
Conway, 28, won at Long Beach this year for the top Andretti Autosport team
but endured an otherwise disappointing season that saw him finish 17th in
the championship standings.
It left doubters wondering if he had truly recovered from his dramatic
back-breaking crash in the 2010 Indy 500.
But Foyt, 76, is clearly keeping faith with the Brit, believing his road
course experience will stand the team in good stead as IndyCar moves further
away from oval track racing.
However, it won't be easy for Conway.
Tough Texan Foyt who holds the all-time record for US championship race
wins is known as a hard task-master who does not suffer fools gladly.
But Conway is looking forward to his new challenge.
He saidd: "Hopefully we can hit the ground running with off season
developments and be quick out of the box.
"I'm counting the days until the first test and the start of the season."
Foyt, who also won the Le Mans 24-hour sportscar classic for Ford back in
1967, said: "With the IndyCar series having twice as many road courses as
ovals, we looked for a driver who is fast on those tracks.
"And Mike has certainly proved himself in that area."

I sighed as I walked into the house, shutting the heavy front door behind me. Being home felt so good, the familiar smell of vanilla, fresh flowers, and apple Lysol. Country music was blasting through the bottom floor; my mother is home early. I walked through the cluttered living room and into the kitchen, right away I saw the quarter empty bottle of vodka sitting on the light brown kitchen table.
"Mom," I called out taking the bottle and putting it back in the cupboard above the refrigerator.
Her auburn colored hair came tearing down the stairs, her face was stained with tears, her mascara smudged all over her face. I caught her in my arms as she threw her arm around my neck holding me tight.
"What's wrong?"
She ignored my question pulling back to look at me. "I want you to do something for me Rylee. I want you to at least consider this as an option for you."
I looked at her, very confused but willing to make whatever was wrong with her better. I nodded and my mother opened her hand to a variety of different colored and shaped pills. My jaw dropped and I slapped her open palm down, letting the pills fall down to the floor.
"I am not going to kill myself!" I exclaimed backing away out of her arms.
The tears reappeared in my mother's eyes, she started blubbering, "Please, Rylee I'd rather lose you this way then lose you to vampires!" my mother was getting hysterical, she was close to near hyperventilation.
"No, I can't believe you'd even suggest it mom!"
"You are my only daughter, I won't be able to sleep at night knowing that your father and I gave you up to immortal leeches" her face distorted to show her pure disgust.
"Forget it, they aren't taking me, I promise, and if they do, I won't be there long. I'll kill myself after the first day if I have to. Okay? Now you better go for a run and work off that alcohol before dad gets home and sees what a mess you are."
My mother whipped nervously at her eyes again, and nodded. "I love you Ry."
I pulled her into a tight comforting hug, "I love you too momma."
After that talk with my mother I had no real incliniation to go downstairs and eat. My father came upstairs to talk to me about what my mother suggested and highly disagreed with the way she brought it up but he isn't very willing to let me just go off in the morning to my death. For any father I think it would be hard to see their only child walk away with her possible murders. Unfortunately he stayed quiet calm and collected about the whole thing. Daniel Jacob Morgan has never been the type of person to show his emotions about anything, and that conversation was no exception. Finally at about 9 pm he left me alone. Only 20 hours until tomorrow's sunset.
I took a long, hot shower before I decided to finally climb into bed, by that time it was about 3 am; 14 more hours. I put on a pair of black sweat pants and my favorite red graphice t-shirt before climbing under my navy blue comforter and snuggling in. It was stupid to think that I would just instantly fall asleep, so instead I just stared at my cieling letting memories of my friends and family run wildly through my mind.
The count down is on, might as well remember the good times.

Sometimes, it's better to miss it.
I stand, watching the 2347 to Horsham leave the station. It is the last train. And I've missed it.
It didn't leave early. I wasn't stuck in traffic. I missed it.
I think back over the last half-hour. The dawdling over the last pint. Walking to the station instead of getting a taxi. I must have known, right?
Then thinking forward. Well, an alternative forward. What would have happened. I would have reached Crawley in an hour or so and then walked the quarter-mile home. In the door just close to one o'clock. The house would be in darkness. It would feel empty, even with the car in the driveway and her shoes in the hall telling me that it wasn't.
I would enter the room silently and listen to her sleeping breaths as I undress in the dark. And then lie there on my back staring up at the ceiling. A couple of inches, a couple of miles between us.
But instead, I'm here. Standing on a cold concourse in Victoria watching the two red lights get smaller before disappearing into the soupy darkness.
I call home - not home actually, my wife's mobile - she always keeps it by the bed, there's no phone in the bedroom. But it's turned off. I leave a message, telling her what's happened and that I'm thinking of getting a taxi home. I'll get in trouble for doing that, of course. Now that we have the house - a mortgage, BT, water-rates - we can't afford luxuries like hundred-quid taxi journeys. I mention our friend Jamie who lives in Shad Thames, I can stay with him maybe. I'll call when I sort things out, I say.
After I hang up, I stare at my phone for…I don't know how long. Not for the first time, I notice that my wife's name and her name are next to each other. But they're not just consecutive names, not merely alphabetically adjacent. One is English, the other is its Russian equivalent, but essentially they're the same name.
I stare some more, my thumb hovering over the call button.
A middle-aged man rushes past, momentarily knocking me off balance. I sigh and, once again, curse the city. I watch him as his run slows to a walk. Then he stops altogether and raises his arms in desperation. With a desolate look on his face, he walks back towards me. We have something in common, it seems.
"The Horsham train?" he says. "It's gone?"
"Yep," I say, more relaxed than I probably should be.
"Ah, for f...," he mutters. "I just spent twenty quid on a taxi from London Bridge."
Something occurs to me.
"Isn't there a train from London Bridge to Horsham?"
"Whole station is closed. Some poor sod fell under a train. Just what I need today."
I am about to remind him of the 'human tragedy' and all that, but I can see from his face how little effect it will have. He walks off, mumbling something about how bad things always happen to him.
My phone is still in my hand and look at the screen again. This time, I press the button.
I turn and head towards the steps to the Tube.
The sound of her voice makes me catch my breath.
"Hello?" she says again.
"Katarina?" I say. "Hi, it's me. I…I missed the train."
"Oh, you missed the train, did you? I told you you would."
"Well, yeah, I – "
"Maybe if I had not offered an alternative solution, you would have made more of an effort, yes?"
That accent. I just love that accent.
"Maybe. So, is that offer still…" I fight the almost-overwhelming guilt. I now know what I am about to do.
"Of course. I have just arrived back at the hotel now. But I will be leaving very early in the morning. I have that flight back to Moscow so –"
"That's okay," I say quickly. "I can go for an early breakfast or something."
"Okay, then. Well, see you when you get here."
As I hang up, I veer right, towards the taxi rank on Terminus Place. A tube just won't get me there fast enough.
"Park Lane Hilton, please," I say to the driver and notice the shortness of my breath. Anticipation is a powerful thing.

Emergency medical services in Austria
Emergency Medical Service (Rettungsdienst or more frequently just Rettung) (EMS) in Austria is a service of public pre-hospital emergency healthcare, including ambulance service, provided by individual Austrian municipalities, cities and counties. It is primarily financed by the Austrian health insurance companies.
In Austria the individual Austrian states (Bundesländer) are legally responsible for the provision of emergency services, but typically delegate these responsibilities to the individual community level. Municipalities, including both smaller communities (Gemeinden) and cities (Städte) are given responsibility by the State for operating EMS. Austrian law mandates the provision of rescue and fire services, including EMS, staffing and equipping according to levels which correspond to local population. Apart from Vienna, which operates its own EMS organisation (Wiener Berufsrettung, also called Magistratsabteilung 70), all communities and cities delegate the responsibility to provide EMS to NPOs. Unlike other countries EMS in Austria is never provided by the fire department, the city of Admont being the only exception to this rule.
Apart from the Austrian Red Cross some other organisations provide EMS such as the
- Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund Österreichs (Labor-Samaritan-Alliance),
- the Malteser Hospitaldienst Austria (the Austrian organisation of the Order of Malta Ambulance Corps),
- the Johanniter-Unfall-Hilfe (the Austrian organisation of the St. John Ambulance) or
- the Grünes Kreuz (Green Cross).
As in many other places, in Austria, the EMS system performs two major functions:
- Emergency Services - Responding to all calls concerning immediate danger to the life and/or health of a person. This is the core component of the service, which is called Notfallrettung or Rettungsdienst in German. This service addresses acute onset illness and injury conditions, such as myocardial infarction, or accidents with severe injuries, to name just two. In severe cases the EMS-Crew is accompanied by an emergency physician (Notarzt). While these physicians are employees of the individual Austrian states and not the EMS organisation itself, they work together closely, sharing equipment, vehicles and uniforms.
- Non-Emergency Services - Arranging and performing the transport of non-emergency patients (i.e. transfer to, from, and between hospitals). This service is called Krankentransport or Sanitätseinsatz in German, and provides service to non-ambulatory patients with low-acuity or chronic conditions, or to those who are recovering from acute care situations, and who lack the ability to use other means of transport (i.e. by taxi, own car or public transport).
In addition to regular emergency and non-emergency services, there are Mobile Intensive Care Units MICU stationed in most of the major cities. These units correspond to the Critical Care Transport function found in other places. They are brought into action whenever a patient with a serious and complex medical condition, requiring advanced levels of support during transit needs to be transferred between hospitals. This service usually applies to intensive-care unit patients, hence the German name Intensivtransport.[1]
While not formally affiliated with the EMS system, the General Practitioner(GP) frequently interacts with that system. In Austria, it is still commonplace for physicians to make house calls for those patients who are not able to visit a medical practice. Additionally, most cities and counties run a service called Ärztefunkdienst or Ärztenotdienst (Physician Home Call Service), which provides a GP to make housecalls for all people in the specific area. The physician will not only respond to patients from their own practice, but will also visit and treat patients all over the area. The GP service is usually only used for minor illnesses (i.e. fever, common cold), where a hospital stay is not necessary but the intervention of a Physician may be advisable. The availability of this service provides a better treatment option to those patients who, in other EMS systems, might generate low-acuity ambulance calls or emergency department visits. Occasionally, the visiting GP will contact the EMS dispatcher and order a Krankentransport, should it be determined following medical assessment, that the patient could be cared for in a safer and better manner in a hospital.
Telephone numbers[edit]
Emergency telephone numbers[edit]
The nationwide emergency number for emergency medical services in Austria is 144. This number can be called toll-free from any phone (fixed-line, mobile or phone booth). This also applies to all the other emergency and most of the non-emergency numbers mentioned below. Alternatively the European emergency number 112 can also be used but by calling it one will end up at the nearest police station (which is nationwide available by calling 133) which will then pass the information to the EMS provider. In most cases it thus is advisable to call 144 as the call will be taken by a professional emergency medical dispatcher and help will be on its way more quickly. The European emergency number, however, must not be confused with the 122 which in Austria is the fire department. Dispatchers speak German and at least an intermediate level of English with focus on medical terms and issues.
Non-emergency telephone numbers[edit]
Apart from the emergency number there also is a huge variety of non-emergency numbers which should be used in non-emergency cases such as Krankentransport, for example. These numbers differ from region to region and provider to provider. Even though the Austrian Red Cross operates ambulances all over Austria there is a huge variety of non-emergency numbers such as 14 844 for Styria, 1484 for Carinthia or 01 52 144 for Vienna.[2]
As already described above, in addition to the emergency and non-emergency services provided by the different organisations there is also a service called Ärztefunkdienst or Ärztenotdienst (Physician Home Call Service), which provides a GP to make housecalls for all people in the specific area and can be reached by dialling 141 everywhere in Austria.
Land Ambulance[edit]
The Austrian EMS system's vehicles come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. All of its vehicles must conform to most aspects of the requirements of European standard CEN 1789. The visual identity requirements of the European standard are deliberately not being followed, as they contradict to the traditional Austrian ambulance colours white and red (derived from the colours of the Red Cross' logo). Some organisations such as the Grünes Kreuz, however, have started to paint their new ambulances according to the requirements of the new standard. The five major types of vehicle are:
- The Krankentransportwagen (KTW), a van-type ambulance used for non-emergency transport.
- The Notfallkrankentransportwagen (NKTW), a multi-purpose vehicle serves a dual role as patient transport vehicle and as backup for emergency responses.
- The Rettungswagen (RTW), a larger van used for emergencies.
- The Notarztwagen (NAW), basically the same as a RTW but staffed with an emergency physician in addition to the other personnel.
- The Notarzteinsatzfahrzeug (NEF), a station wagon or small van. Its purpose is to bring the Notarzt (emergency physician) to the scene of the emergency, when required.
Other vehicles that are also employed include helicopters for the performance of air ambulance services or off-road vehicles to be able to access remote and impenetrable places.
In rural areas the most commonly used vehicles are NKTWs as they can be used for both, Krankentransports and emergencies. In bigger cities, however, a combination of RTWs and NKTWs is used to respond to emergencies. If a RTW or a NKTW is used to respond to an incident depends on two factors: The severity of the reported incident and the proximity of the vehicle. Both vehicles are staffed with similar personnel (at least two Rettungssanitäter, more commonly one Rettungssanitäter who acts as the ambulance driver and one Notfallsanitäter which takes care of the patient during the transport). If a severe incident such as, for example, a myocardial infarction is reported the dispatcher always sends the closest NKTW or RTW and a NEF to the scene. (See rendezvous system below for more information.)
The basic equipment of the above-mentioned vehicles are obligatory and are minimal requirements:
- Basic First Aid kit.
- Dressings and Bandages
- Gurney and blankets
- Flexible stretcher, also called a Reeves stretcher.
- Rigid or collapsible transport chair, called a stair chair in the United States
- Mobile medical ventilator
- Basic diagnostic equipment, like blood-pressure cuffs.
- Portable defibrillator
Depending on the type of the vehicle, there are numerous items which have to be on the ambulance, among them are:
- An ECG monitor
- Rescue equipment
- Immobilization equipment like Cervical collars or spine boards
- Equipment for intravenous therapy
Additionally, several different kinds of drugs are found on an Ambulance, typically a selection of analgesics, anaesthetics, cardiac stimulants, substances for circulatory problems and antidotes. Narcotics are not widely carried on ambulances. Usually only the Notarzt will carry a small amount of Morphine, Fentanyl or Piritramide and closely guard them.
All emergency calls, regardless of the emergency number on which they originate, are routed to Dispatch Centres; in German Leitstelle. Until the year 2000 it was very common that every district had its own dispatch centre which, in a way, was quite ineffective. At present more and more trans-regional dispatch centres are being built. That means that all 144 calls in Styria, for example, are routed to the same dispatch centre in Graz no matter where in Styria the caller is located. The same trend can be seen in other federal states. A system similar to the U.S.-based 9-1-1 Public Safety Answering Point concept is not being used due to the significantly different nature of the calls for EMS, the fire brigade or the police.
Once a call via the local emergency number is placed, a call taker will answer and ask the caller about the nature of the emergency. While the caller is being interviewed about call specifics, the call taker is already working on the computer, which will provide prompt questions, provide advice, and suggest response resources for this emergency. Whilst the call taker is still talking to the caller a dispatcher will already look up the ambulance which is the closest to the scene and dispatch it. This computer system, while operating in German, is more or less similar to the AMPDS algorithm used by Emergency Medical Dispatchers in the United States but varies from one federal state to the other.
To illustrate, a call is received in the dispatch center about a possibly unconscious person. The call taker will immediately identify the call location, and will then ask further questions, in order to assess precipitating symptoms, specific location, and any special circumstances (no house number, a neighbor is calling, etc.). While this interview is occurring, the call taker will enter the command Bewusstlose Person (unconscious person) into the dispatch computer, resulting in an automatic suggestion to dispatch of a RTW (emergency ambulance) or NKTW and a NEF (emergency physician car). Upon entering the address of the patient, the computer will look for the emergency vehicles closest to this address. Now the dispatcher can send the whole package over the air and those two vehicles are alarmed, similar to Computer-assisted dispatch (CAD) in the United States. Whilst the vehicles are being alarmed by the dispatcher, the call taker may remain on the line with the caller, providing telephone advice or assistance until the EMS resources arrive on the scene. While still on the line with the caller the dispatcher is able to guide the ambulance to the scene and provide the crew with additional and more precise information about the incident. This, of course, happens without any notice of the caller and will help to get the EMS resources on scene more quickly.
Average response times[edit]
Apart from Burgenland the maximum response time (the maximum time in which an ambulance must be on scene) is not governed in Austria. The Red Cross, however, follows the self-imposed policy that every place next to a street has to be reached in at least 15 minutes in 95% of all cases.[3] These requirements are met in most cases but one has to keep in mind, that response times differ very much depending on whether the incident occurred in a rural area or in a city as EMS stations are mostly located in cities. In cities the average response time is between five and ten minutes, in rural areas it is about eight to 15 minutes.

I have a great deal of respect for Condoleezza Rice. She is smart, diplomatic, and experienced. I believe she has the potential to be a strong and effective leader of this nation. These are some of the qualities I personally look for in a presidential candidate and I would welcome seeing her name on the ballot.
Condoleeza Rice is exceptionally intelligent and is one of the few faces of the Republican Party that shows firm resolve, a record of accomplishment, and a strong sense of character. Rice would bring a level of consistency that no member of the Republican Party brings. She would be a consensus builder in true fashion and can stand on her own two feet in a way few other can.
Condoleezza Rice could attempt to run for President, but it would be political and professional suicide. The bad things she supported while working for Bush The Lesser while he was President will be used against her. And let's face it, hardcore conservatives are the most bigoted creatures on earth. They'd never for a black woman.
Condoleezza Rice's career was ruined when she took the fall for authorizing torture. Although she merely passed the message along to the CIA, he actions are looked down upon by many Americans and running for president would more than likely drudge all of this up again. She wouldn't have a chance at winning.
Although she is a canny politician and a strong, intelligent woman, she does not have the breadth of experience that a presidential candidate should have. She also served as Secretary of State during some of the most contentious and ugly occurrences in modern American history. She is part of a gropu that has been too divisive and too partisan to garner enough middle-of-the-road votes to win the election.
Condoleezza Rice lacks the experience required to be President. She also lacks the broad appeal and recognition that is necessary to be elected in our current system (electoral college). Additionally, as the former Secretary of State under George W. Bush, she would have a hard time distancing herself from one of the least popular presidents in recent history.

Instinct. [Not your Average Vampire Tale] X Twenty Six.Mature
Absoloute silence awaited me as I stood before the front door; I hadn't expected it to be this easy. But then again, my last escape hadn't been influenced by knowing how to get around.
No, I'm not escaping. What I'm doing isn't illegal - I think. No, it isn't! It's not like I'm never coming back. I just want to know; investigate, to see what's out there. I deserve that at least, as the Vampire community is also a part of me now.
Half of their heritage is running through my viens, I have their benefits, their powers. Which means that I have the full right to open this door.
Why don't you quit babbling on and turn the stupid handle?
I'm getting to it ...
Closing my eyes tight, before I could chicken out and run back to bed, my fingers gripped onto the handle, turning.
They are sure to hear me - this is why I have to do it quick. As I lurched forwards, my feet landed on hard stone. A sigh of relief passed my lips - I guess I can cross off a moat from the list. Inch by inch, my eyelids lifted, allowing me my sight back. It took a minute for them to adjust to the darkness.
My eyes delivered no pure justice to what they saw.
Strange scent. Such a strange smell that wafts through my nostrills; rural, honeysuckle, pounding, sweet aroma of blood.
Blood. Muscles, Bones, Organs.
Human, the word caused the deadly tips of my canines to indent my quivering lip. But, there is something different. Something wrong. Why does it smell familiar? Not a scent recognised before yet my senses do not defy me.
It cannot be.
I could not contain the growl that erupted from the base of my throat, sending my control into a dashed frenzy. She's here. Master said she can't be, but best to be on the safer side and to patrol the forests and outskirts of the Vampire City.
She's here. Oh, he will be very pleased.
The house was so isolated; the arms of trees, hooked and contorted, were the only thing above that I could see. Why was this building safer than any other? The answer was mind-boggingly obvious now that it was presented; Because nobody else would be able to even see it properly. Greenery protected the entire area, rocks and boulders rolled into a particular space, which was what I had landed on in the first place.
That wasn't all that my sight caught. My feet, without me acknowledging it, walked towards the hardly noticable, dim light. A fire, maybe? Are others here? Leaves crunched annoyingly under my toes and I had to hold back the urge to whisper, shhhhh.
Oh, what am I doing. As I moved closer and closer, brushing branches out of the pathway, wincing slightly as small thorns pricked my back, the light became brighter. It became a hold on me, willing me onwards. Light is good.
Hold on, that wasn't the plan. You wanted to see where you were, you've done that now. Go back. Go back to Luke and the boys. Go.
I shoved the voice into the lowest depths of my mind, muffling its queeries. I had to reach the light; The marvelous, glowing white light. What on earth could it be ...
It was the growl that broke me free of the unexplained trance.

Mount Mary University will host "Crime and Responsibility," a panel discussion and luncheon with three area crime experts to examine the causes of crime, the victim's perspective, and the role of moral choice, on Thursday, March 20, 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
The event also features an exhibit of written work of participants in the fall 2013 "The Stories We Tell" writing workshop which is part of Mount Mary's "Untold Stories" series for survivors of sexual assault and human trafficking.
Response artwork created by local teens from Wauwatosa East High School coincide with the written pieces to deepen understanding of the effects of sexual and domestic violence and human trafficking in our communities.
"It's important to delve into the statistics of crime in order to understand the contributing factors of crime, the impact on victims and the community, and examine where responsibilities reside," says Rachel Monaco-Wilcox, J.D, chair and assistant professor of the Justice Department at Mount Mary University. "Insight helps inform restorative justice and what can be done in the community to prevent the cycle of crime and victimization."
The panelists include:
Distinguished Professor of Law and former Supreme Court Justice Janine Geske
Author James Galezewski formerly of Milwaukee Police Department
Mallory O'Brien of the Milwaukee Homicide Review Commission
The cost is $30 per person and registration is available at http://untoldstories.bpt.me.

Russia's largest oil company Rosneft and its influential head Igor Sechin have won the battle for one of the country's most attractive domestic hydrocarbon assets, and will acquire 50.8% of Bashneft by year's end, despite both being state-controlled companies.
The deal is expected to be closed in a matter of weeks, helping the cash-strapped government to finance the widening hole in the 2016 federal budget, while consolidating Rosneft's control of more than 50% of Russia's entire production of crude.
According to a newly signed government decree that was reported on October 6 by Interfax, Reuters, and Bloomberg, Rosneft will pay RUB330bn ($5.3bn) in the largest privatisation deal since 2006, when the $10.7bn IPO of Rosneft was held.
"The sum of RUB330bn is above the valuation range of Bashneft of RUB297-RUB315bn and corresponds to RUB3,709 per share," BCS Equity commented on October 7, adding that there is an upside potential of 18.7% for share price in case of a minority buyback.
However, governance concerns likely contributed to Bashneft's preferred shares sinking by 7.4% after the confirmation of Rosneft's acquisition eligibility, while the common shares reversed their previous gain with a 2.7% decline.
Rosneft previously argued to the government that by allowing two state companies to merge, the subsequently planned privatisation of 19.5% in Rosneft would yield as much as $11bn, generating a total of over $16bn for the budget.
Rosneft got the green light to bid following "very strong pressure from Igor Sechin", an unnamed source in the government told Vedomosti daily. And while the approval confirms Sechin's extensive influence in both the government and Kremlin, it remains unclear how easily the privatisation proceeds will trickle down to the budget.
"In reality this is a way to extract badly needed money to cover the budget deficit from Rosneft," another unnamed official told the newspaper. He noted that previously Rosneft did not comply with a requirement to pay 50% of IFRS net profit in dividends due to a complicated ownership scheme implemented through the Rosneftegaz holding.
A major risk for shareholders is that instead of the privatisation of 19.5% of Rosneft for $11bn the company will buy back the shares from the state on its own, as some unconfirmed reports already suggested, BCS Equity warns.
The acquisition of TNK-BP for $44.4bn in cash and 12.84% of its own shares enabled Rosneft to consolidate 40% in Russia's crude output, making it the world's largest traded oil company. The Bashneft deal is now set to push Rosneft's market share yet further, according to previous estimates.
While back in 2013 TNK-BP acqusition resulted in alarming leverage for Rosneft, this time it seems the major can afford to finance Bashneft acqusition.
"At the end of 2Q16, Rosneft's cash and bank deposits totalled RUB1.1 trillion ($17bn) and securities as part of short-term assets made up RUB220bn ($3.4bn)," UralSib Capital commented on October 7.
The bank also reminds that in addition to getting prepayments on future oil deliveries to China, Rosneft's cash position will be boosted by at least another $4bn in cash from sales of Vankorneft and Taas-Yuriakh oil fields to Indian companies.
But many questions remain about the form the corporate structure of Bashneft, based in Russia's republic of Bashkortostan, will take after the sale.
"It is possible, due to the 25% stake Bashkortostan owns in Bashneft, that the company will keep operating as a separate business, distributing profits to shareholders via dividends," UralSib Capital suggested on October 3.
Another possibility is that minority shareholders will be bought out at a premium of about 20% to the current price. But the analysts are concerned with the risks of a management change and "a less generous dividend policy" carrying risks for minorities.
Rosneft's shadow was already hanging over Bashneft in 2011 when the state behemoth was reportedly competing for the major Trebs and Titov oil fields, auctioned to a joint venture of Bashneft and Lukoil. Private oil major Lukoil was also the only serious contender competing for Bashneft's privatisation in 2016.
Bashneft was privatised in the early 2000s by AFK Sistema by consolidating oil and gas assets in Bashkortostan, and was effectively renationalised in 2014 by court order after Sistema chief Vladimir Yevtushenkov was placed under house arrest.
As the controversial case of re-nationalisation was unfolding, many commentators feared that extracting Bashneft from Sistema was the new "Yukos case", referring to the jailing of oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsky and the ensuing firesale of the company's assets, said to have been orchestrated by Sechin and marking the rise of Rosneft's domination of the sector.

Where is the best place to have a picnic on the I-5 corridor between Portland and Salem?
What a fun question! Here are my top recommendations. Memorial Park in Wilsonville. This would be a really easy stop for getting on and off I-5 and a great place to get out and stretch your legs. Heading south from Portland, you'd just take exit 283, then head east for 1 mile. Memorial Park is in the middle of the Portland suburb of Wilsonville but the park itself is big (126 acres) with picnic…

Therefore, following the holy fathers, we all teach that with one accord we confess one and the same Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, the same perfect in human nature, truly God and the same with a rational soul and a body truly man, consubstantial with the Father according to divinity, and consubstantial with us according to human nature, like unto us in all things except sin, [cf. Heb. 4:15]; indeed born of the Father before the ages according to divine nature, but in the last days the same born of the virgin Mary, Mother of God according to human nature; for us and for our deliverance, one and the same Christ only begotten Son, our Lord, acknowledged in two natures,' without mingling, without change, indivisibly, undividedly, the distinction of the natures nowhere removed on account of the union but rather the peculiarity of each nature being kept, and uniting in one person and hypostasis, not divided or separated into two persons, but one and the same Son only begotten God Word, Lord Jesus Christ, just as from the beginning the prophets taught about Him and the Lord Jesus Himself taught us, and the creed of our fathers has handed down to us.After all that, I travelled to central London for a meeting of the Society of St Catherine of Siena which was addressed by Fr Sebastian Jones on the new St Bede's Hall.
On returning back to the ranch, I discovered that the Mulier Fortis was celebrating her birthday as an Octava Simplex with copious amounts of cake provided by various well-wishers.

Hopefully George at www.Madogre.com doesn't get mad at me for linking this one.
This guy is lucky. .50 BMG at 100 yds and it bounces back and tags him in the forehead. He is being advised to buy lottery tickets right now because he is obviously on a REALLY BIG GOOD LUCK STREAK.
Check out the blog for the full story.
I will support gun control when you can guarantee all guns are removed from this planet. That includes military and law enforcement. When you can accomplish that, then I will be the last person to lay down my gun. Then I will carry the weapon that replaces the gun.
Holy cow that is one lucky dude. I love the guys comments, "we're no gonna do that no more", well I'd hope not.
Heck, if he were a cat I would think he used up eight of his lives on that one....I'm guessing he also used up all his luck for the next 20 yrs.
At least his companions were smart enough to be way behind him.

Why did they not show his wound? It seems they purposely kept the camera away from his face. Call me cinical, but the video just leaves me with the feeling of it being staged.
I shoot steel all the time and though we do have occasionally have bounce back, it's always been a result improper target angle and the bounce back is never strait back as shown. YMMV.
I checked out his sight. Very interesting stuff. It will give me another place to kill time when thing are slow.

I guess I'm just a pessimist, but to me it seems incredibly UNLUCKY to get hit in the head from a ricochet at 100 yards. Lucky would be NOT getting hit at all, right?
I had a friend in HS that shot himself along the crease of his palm while trying to clear a jam in a little POS .25 Auto. He went on and on about how lucky he was that he only received a minor flesh wound. I could only imagine how lucky I must be to not have shot myself at all
A man fires a rifle for many years, and he goes to war. And afterward he turns the rifle in at the armory, and he believes he's finished with the rifle. But no matter what else he might do with his hands - love a woman, build a house, change his son's diaper - his hands remember the rifle.
Hehe, well at least he made the shot...
I too am highly skeptical of the video. .50 BMG was designed /used for light armor penetration. Lots of power and punch in the round. Must be some thick metal to make it deflect back.

I cal bull! We have shot AR 550 steel at less than and over 100 yards and have never failed to have complete penetration.
As for shooting steel, we shoot steel all the time and as long as you practice good safety (not shooting steel at less than about 12 yards or so), good eye protection and hearing protection you won't have anything serious happen.
Using frangible ammo you can get up really close and have fun.
Ken Forbus Owner of FIREARMZ
I'm not. I beleive it. I've had some .50 API bounce back from hitting a rock over a hundred yards away and drop right in front of me while staying lit and spinning like a top shooting red fire everywhere in a circle.I too am highly skeptical of the video
The bullet hit the ground in front of him first.By the sound of it, it was spinning. No way is that staged.

"In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock." Thomas Jefferson
Nemo Me Impune Lacesset
I don't think it was staged. I think that too many people jump to the "staged" label whenever an interesting video appears on the internet. Sure a lot of them are fakes...and that's why many people automatically assume that something is bogus. Here's my take on it.
I say that it was either a) not the bullet flying back to hit him (piece of target or something else maybe) or b) only part of the bullet came back. All things considered I say that it was a one in a million event caught on tape. Heck stranger things have happened. I'm a believer until shown otherwise.
People are more violently opposed to fur than leather because it's safer to harass rich women than motorcycle gangs.
This caught me as a bit humorous . . . the first statement is obviously false in light of the second statement, but definitely more dramatic. Watching the video it is obvious that the bullet did not come straight back, but took a rather high ballistic arc. The fact that it did hit the ground and dissipated energy first is probably what saved him. I'm curious what the target actually was and if the bullet didn't strike a rock buried in the backdrop causing a rock/bullet fragment to go flying in the air.The bullet comes straight back and hits him in the head. You can see it hit the dirt about 15 feet in front on him before it clobbers him.

- The USAGE survey shows side effects and cost are the paramount concerns for patients who stop taking their statins: 2
- Side effects (62%) and cost (17%) emerged as the leading reasons why survey respondents stopped taking their statin, with lack of treatment efficacy (12%) cited as third most important.
- While 85% of respondents cited their doctors as one of their two most valuable sources for health information, 34% discontinued their statin without consulting their doctor.
- While 81% of patients surveyed report being satisfied with their doctor's explanation of treatment, there is still room for improvement in the doctor-patient dialogue: 2
- Recollection of cholesterol levels is poor—respondents were more likely to remember their pant size from high school than their most recent cholesterol level (64% vs. 46%).
- The average respondent uses three prescription and/or non-prescription products with drug-drug interaction potential; yet only 38% of all respondents stated they were concerned with potential drug interactions.
- Importantly, four out of ten respondents (42%) who are concerned about DDIs but did not speak with their doctor about it say they rely on their pharmacist to identify potential interactions. While discussions at the pharmacy are important, it is also critical for doctors to be a part of this conversation to address concerns about potential DDIs.
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Results from the USAGE survey, the largest known cholesterol survey in the U.S. involving more than 10,100 statin users 1, were presented today at the American Heart Association's Annual Scientific Sessions, the leading gathering of cardiovascular disease experts in the country. John O'Hurley, Seinfeld and Dancing with the Stars actor and high cholesterol patient, is dedicated to educational efforts in support of the USAGE survey. As a result of the USAGE survey key findings, tools and resources were developed to help improve physician-patient dialogue and are available at www.statinUSAGE.com. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121105/NY03300LOGO ) (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120213/NY51527LOGO ) (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120531/NY14919LOGO ) The USAGE survey "Understanding Statin use in America and Gaps in Education," is the first survey of its kind to uncover the reasons why patients stop taking their cholesterol statin medications. 1,2 High cholesterol is one of the leading risk factors of heart disease, the number one cause of death in the U.S. 3 "When I was first diagnosed with high cholesterol, I struggled with understanding the seriousness of my health condition," said John O'Hurley. "Thanks to in-depth conversations with my doctor and a personalized treatment plan including diet and exercise, I have lowered my cholesterol levels and am taking control of my health. It is my hope that the USAGE survey tools and resources help patients to understand the importance of managing high cholesterol and give them clearer direction on how to address concerns with their doctor." While doctors write more than 200 million prescriptions for statins each year, adherence to treatment remains a significant issue. 4 Previous studies indicate that nearly 75% of new statin users stop therapy by the end of the first year. 5 Problems with statin adherence are associated with an increased risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes—including heart attack and death 6— and contribute to the rising costs of heart disease; expected to reach $818 billion by 2030. 3 "Many patients ignore their doctor's concerns about high cholesterol levels, or fail to take their statin as prescribed," said Dr. Eliot Brinton, spokesman for the National Lipid Association, who also serves as Director of Atherometabolic Research at the Utah Foundation for Biomedical Research. "It is important for doctors and patients to work together as a team to make sure the appropriate treatments—diet, lifestyle and a statin, if needed—are prescribed and followed properly. The USAGE survey results can help educate healthcare providers and the general public about the importance of cholesterol management and will empower patients to take action against this critical health issue." The USAGE survey explored patient perceptions, attitudes and behaviors about statins, from reasons why patients stopped treatment to education around therapeutic lifestyle changes and the high incidence of potential drug-drug interactions (DDIs).
