Physical Agility Tests – Purpose and Procedure

Being a State Park Peace Officer is a physically demanding profession. In accordance with Government Code 18930, all candidates will be required to successfully complete a physical agility test (PAT). The purpose of the PAT is to ensure that applicants who are eventually hired and assigned to a training academy will be able to meet the physical requirements of the job. Per the department's discretion, the test battery may be subject to change.The department's PAT is part of the selection process, and is scheduled in both Northern and Southern California. Please note, however, that all Cadet (Lifeguard) applicants are scheduled to attend testing in Southern California only.PAT elements are listed below. Each of these physical tasks is designed to simulate physical abilities required at entry to the class of State Park Ranger or Lifeguard.

Resultados científicos revolucionarios en la estación espacial de 2023 - NASA
Es posible que se necesiten diferentes niveles gravitacionales para sustentar la adaptación muscular en las misiones futuras.
Mejores imágenes de ultrasonido

El astronauta de la JAXA Akihiko Hoshide utiliza el dispositivo de ultrasonido de la estación para obtener imágenes de la arteria femoral de su pierna derecha.
NASA

Eco vascular, una investigación de la CSA (Agencia Espacial Canadiense), examinó los cambios que se producen en los vasos sanguíneos y el corazón durante y después de los vuelos espaciales, utilizando ultrasonido y otros métodos de obtención de medidas. Los investigadores compararon la tecnología de ultrasonido 2D con un ultrasonido 3D motorizado, y descubrieron que el 3D es más preciso. Mejores mediciones podrían ayudar a mantener saludable a la tripulación en el espacio y la calidad de vida de la gente en la Tierra.
Este es tu cerebro en el espacio

La investigación Brain-DTI de la ESA (Agencia Espacial Europea) llevó a cabo pruebas para saber si el cerebro se adapta a la ingravidez mediante el uso de conexiones entre neuronas previamente desaprovechadas. Las resonancias magnéticas de los miembros de la tripulación antes y después de los vuelos espaciales demuestran cambios funcionales en regiones específicas del cerebro, lo que confirma la adaptabilidad y plasticidad del cerebro en condiciones extremas.

Slow down, make time for "Awe Walks"

By Stephen Nett
At Gualala Point Regional Park, when a sunset unrolls its colors over the vast Pacific, the view can be so amazing it can make you stop to watch. In fall, the leaves of the ancient bigleaf maples in Shiloh Ranch Regional Park turn school bus yellow before drifting into blankets beneath the spreading trees.

HHS/CDC System of Records Notices

As data retention policies vary from system to system, please check that system’s policy or their individual SORN for more detailed information.
Top of PageDigital Outreach through Geofencing TechnologiesCDC may work through third-party vendors to use geofencing technologies to reach individuals with critical health information at a specific place and time. These technologies can be particularly useful during a public health emergency. Geofencing technologies are location-based services in which an application (app) or other software program uses a mobile device’s global positioning system (GPS) to prompt a specific message, push notification or mobile advertisement (e.g., on web browsers or apps) when that device enters or exits a defined “geofence” or shortly thereafter. A geofence is a virtual perimeter around a real-world geographic area, which could include an airport or land border, school, shopping mall, stadium, or other geographic area.
To receive a geofenced message from CDC, you must have certain apps downloaded and either have background location sharing enabled on your device or be actively using those apps while passing through a geofenced area. A geofence does not track your location or your phone number; it is solely used to detect devices that may enter a specific geographic area at a point in time so they can receive a CDC-sponsored message. Messages may be delivered multiple times within a few days after crossing through a geofenced area, though CDC will limit the number of times an individual would receive a message. Additionally, CDC requires that individuals always have the option to opt-out of messaging, including any ads that are delivered in real-time and shortly thereafter.
CDC may get aggregated data from third-party vendors about the number of times a message is shown, the number of people who see the message, and the number of comments, likes, shares, and clicks a message receives. CDC may also receive aggregated data about the basic demographic groups reached by messages, such as the distribution of ages and gender ranges. CDC does not receive any personally identifiable information (PII) about individuals reached through geotargeted health messages.
