I learned the basics of market research and consumer behavior. I do wish the courses were more applicable vs university like where it's a lot of info but not all of it's necessary. I want real world examples of how to apply the information. Stuff you would learn on a job and not a university.

I do not understand when gettin your certificate why it has you check a box but you can't check the box if you are from Cuba, Iran and a few other places. Is this a racist thing? People in those countries should be able to take this course too! You shouldn't just offer it to certain countries.

It heps us to Gain the tools and techniques to translate a decision problem into a research question in the Market Research module. Further help us to learn how to design a research plan, analyze the data gathered accurately interpret and communicate survey reports, translating the results into practical recommendations. You will then focus in on the consumer decision-making process, highlighting the key moments from identifying a need to buying and consuming a product. Adopting a true "consumer focus" in your managerial decisions by analyzing how consumers make decisions, what happens (in their hearts and minds) at different stages of the decision making process,

If you were a Junior Market Researcher or Analyst, this course is absolutely perfect for you. Because I am not a market researcher, so the Statistical part lost me quite a while. But it's just me. Really like the part where daily life example was involved when Shamik explained about Customer Behavior. Another suggestion to Shamik - can you please review the English subtitle? There was a few typo error for example "Within subject variation" was typed as "Wooden subject variation" in the subtitle. Thank you!

With the real estate market hotter than ever, it's hard to imagine any home sitting too long without a buyer. Nationwide, November 2017 existing home sales reached their strongest pace in almost 11 years, according to the National Association of Realtors®. And in Lane County, the Regional Multiple Listing Service reported that November 2017 pending sales were 12 percent higher than pending sales during the same month in 2016. Definite growth. But what about those homes that just don't seem to sell? If you or someone you know hasn't sold a property, one of the following reasons might be why:
The home needs too many improvements. It might be tempting for a potential buyer to make an offer on a property needing a little more TLC than planned—especially amid a shortage of choices—but the bottom line often wins the deal. With Lane County's median home sales price up almost ten percent from 2016, buyers are paying much more these days, and that ten percent rise in value may have just eliminated cash available for a kitchen makeover or new roof. If you have the funds to spare, you may just sell faster and at the price you'd like by making a few important improvements. Consider some of the fixes suggested in this HGTV article.
It's just too personal. Many home stagers and realtors will tell you to take down your personal photos and mementos before putting your home on the market. Heed this advice. No one wants to come into a potential family room and focus on the 8 x 10 photo of Aunt Charlotte holding her pug Mini. Just take it down. Also, consider repainting any bright- or bold-colored rooms with more neutral tones. Non-neutral colors may limit a buyer's ability to imagine options in the room he or she is viewing.
You have the wrong realtor. If you need to find a new agent thanks to an underperforming one, ask friends, family and colleagues who they've hired previously. Ask potential agents how they plan to market your home, as marketing plays a critical role in the type of offers you'll receive and the length of time your home sits on the market. Research each agent online. Does he or she participate in community events? Have active social media accounts focusing on real estate? Ask about commission too, but don't make this one of your first questions.
You're asking too much. It might be a seller's market, but that doesn't give you the right to price your home way above the median and expect to sell it in a week. Be honest about your asking price instead of overpricing with the hopes of turning a profit. If your house needs a major improvement, don't price it like a comparable home that doesn't need the repair. Be fair, and be realistic. The best advice: look up comparable homes and what they've been selling for. Price accordingly.

Over the past year, Western Local Land Services and a number of its stakeholders have partnered to tackle the ongoing threat that introduced rabbits pose to the values of the Willandra Lakes Region World Heritage Area and at the same time, reduce the impact that rabbits have on primary production in the Western region.
Project partners who include the Willandra Landholders Alliance, Western Landcare NSW, and the NSW National Parks and Wildlife World Heritage team, met to evaluate the progress of the project and develop an adaptive rabbit management plan to coordinate management efforts within the group and share knowledge about past lessons.
"So far we had some great success, the project has incorporated landholders, Western Local Land Services staff, volunteers and local Aboriginal community members working with National Parks and Wildlife Services World Heritage staff on country," Western Local Land Services Communities Team Leader, Ben Slingsby said.
"Landholders, volunteers from SuniTAFE, Local Landcare Coordinator Thel O'Shea and Western Local Land Services staff used FeralScan to map nearly 6,500 rabbit warrens across the region.
"We have so far carried out mechanical control measures on over 12,000 ha.
"We still have a long way to go, but given the dry conditions and relatively low rabbit numbers, we think it is important to continue working with our partners to have a lasting effect on the impact rabbits have in the region."
Community members wanting more information on the project should contact Mr Slingsby on (03) 5021 9408.
The Willandra Lakes rabbit control project is supported by Western Local Land Services through funding from the Australian Government's National Landcare Program.

White-Box Testing in Python
Before starting this part, I would recommend you guys to go through Python Basics.
For basic concepts of Python, kindly visit series– Python Chapters
However, if you already did that, then just skip it and move forward.
Testing in Python – A Must Know Guide
Here are some previous parts of this series-
White-Box Testing
In short we can define White-Box Testing as..
White-box testing is a method of software testing that tests the code and interanl functionality of an application."
What Is It?
– It directly uses the code to design the test cases.
– This type of testing is path complete. That means if every potential path through the code is tested at least once.
– Sometimes in this type of testing we do miss a path that tends to some bugs.
– This type of testing is also called glass box testing.
Procedure (Pseudo)
1. Suppose, we want absolute value functionality. So-
→ def absValue (x):
2. Now for this functionality, our assumptions will be like..
→ Assume the value is of int type
→ x >= 0 then return (x)
→ otherwise (-x)
3. Now, we have logics ready. So let's make a list of all possible paths for detailed specification.
→ Test Suite of {-2, 2} will be path complete.
→ But, in that way we'll miss absValue(-1), which incorrectly returns -1. (It's a bug).
→ Some cases like empty list, singleton list etc.
→ List down all the boundary cases.
Rules for White-Box Testing
1. Go through all branches of all if statements.
2. Make sure that each clause is executed.
3. For each For Loop, have tests where.
→ Loop is not entered.
→ Body of loop executed exactly once.
→ Body of loop executed more than once.
4. For each While Loop.
→ Loop is not entered.
→ Body of loop executed exactly once.
→ Body of loop executed more than once.
→ Cases that catch all ways to exit the loop.
5. For Recursive Functions.
→ Test with no recursive calls.
→ One recursive call.
→ More than one recursive call.
Suppose we have a code snippet that finds out biggest of the three numbers.
def maxOfThree(a,b,c): """ a, b, and c are numbers returns: the maximum of a, b, and c """ if (a > b): bigger = a else: bigger = b if (c > bigger): bigger = c return bigger """ Now can you sum up some test suite paths for this snippet? """ """ (Take your time before going through the answers.) """
Explanation and Test Suite Path
Am presenting some of the test case here. Just go through them and try to relate them with the code. Most importantly don't forget to check yours too.
→ maxofThree(2, -10, 100)
→ maxofThree(7, 9, 10)
→ maxofThree(6, 1, 7)
→ maxofThree(0, 60, 30)
→ maxofThree(-1, 1, 0)
That's all from Black-Box Testing in Python. Keep visiting for more PY stuffs.

Following on from the news that the gesture control development company Thalmic Labs has just secured $120 million thanks to a successful Series B funding. Details of a new gesture control device have been the this week revealing a little more about why investors have provided the company with more funding.
High profile investors such as Intel Capital, the Amazon Alexa Fund, and Fidelity Investments Canada have all added money to the Thalmic Labs development fund to "realize our vision for the next era of computing, where the lines between humans and digital technology become increasingly blurred" says Thalamic Labs.
The latest gesture control device follows on from the company's first product the MYO armband which has received a lukewarm response since launch, and allows you to control applications and other hardware by rotating and moving your arm. The Road to VR website explains a little more about the leaked wristband.
According to this source, who provided the previously unseen rendering (above), the new device is a wristband that senses a much finer level of gesture detail, seemingly able to detect individual finger-based gestures. The source claims that the core technology behind the new device is based on this patent, filed in June of last year by Thalmic Labs under the title "Systems, articles, and methods for wearable human-electronics interface devices".
Unfortunately no weather information has been officially released as yet by Thalmic Labs. But as soon as it is we will keep you up-to-date as always

Arsenal boss Emery anticipating 'difficult' test against Sheffield United
PUBLISHED: 15:21 17 October 2019 | UPDATED: 15:21 17 October 2019
PA Wire/PA Images
Arsenal boss Unai Emery is expecting a difficult clash with Sheffield United when his side travel to Bramall Lane for Monday night's Premier League fixture.
The Gunners return from the international break looking to continue their positive start to the season which sees them sit third in the table.
Emery is aware that their opponents on Monday will be no pushovers though, with Chris Wilder's side having beaten Everton, drawn with Chelsea and tested title favourites Liverpool.
The Spaniard insists his team are ready though, saying: "It really is amazing their performance with the manager and the atmosphere in Sheffield.
"They are playing a lot of players who have come up from the Championship and have had good performances since the start of the season.
"They're a difficult team and they have a big motivation playing this season in the Premier League, and giving good performances.
You may also want to watch:
"With their supporters, they are going to push us a lot but we're ready and we're going to prepare for the match as well as possible.
"It's a big challenge in each match and for the three points. We want to give our supporters there a good 90 minutes, and also try to win the game."
The international break was also kind to Arsenal, with Emery having no fresh injury concerns, although some players are still to return from duties with their respective nations.
"They are coming back tomorrow, the last players," he said.
"Our preparation with them is to give them two days after their last game with the national team, two days off to rest. Then they will come back.
"The last players played on Tuesday, so have Wednesday and Thursday off. Then they come back in with us.
"Some players arrived yesterday, some today, but then the last ones come back tomorrow."

A Comparative Analysis of the Biomechanics and Biochemistry of Cell-Derived and Cell-Remodeled Matrices: Implications for Wound Healing and Regenerative Medicine
Faculty Advisor or Committee Member
Kristen L. Billiar, Advisor
Faculty Advisor or Committee Member
George D. Pins, Committee Member
Daniel Gibson
The purpose of this research was to study the synthesis and remodeling of extracellular matrix (ECM) by fibroblasts with special emphasis on the culture environment (media composition and initial ECM composition) and the resulting mechanical integrity of the ECM. This was investigated by culturing fibroblasts for 3 weeks in a variety of culture conditions consisting of collagen gels, fibrin gels, or media permissive to the self-production of ECM (Cell-Derived Matrix), and quantifying the mechanics of the resulting ECM. The mechanical characteristics were related to the biochemistry of the resulting ECM, notably in terms of collagen accumulation and collagen fibril diameters. The ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of the collagen gels and fibrin gels at the end of the 3-week period was 168.5 ± 43.1 kPa and 133.2 ± 10.6 kPa, respectively. The ultimate tensile strength of the cell-derived matrices was 223.2 ± 9 kPa, and up to 697.1 ± 36.1 kPa when cultured in a chemically-defined medium that was developed for the rapid growth of matrix in a more defined environment. Normalizing the strength to collagen density resulted in a UTS / Collagen Density in these groups of 6.4 ± 1.9 kPa/mg/cm3, 25.9 ± 2.4 kPa/mg/cm3, 14.5 ± 1.1 kPa/mg/cm3, and 40.0 ± 1.9 kPa/mg/cm3, respectively. Cells were synthetically more active when they produced their own matrix than when they were placed within gels. The resulting matrix was also significantly stronger when it was self-produced than when the cells rearranged the matrix within gels that corresponded to a significantly larger fraction of non-acid and pepsin extractable collagen. These studies indicate that cell-derived matrices have potential both as in vitro wound healing models and as soft connective tissue substitutes.

I was born near the end of WWII and raised in a small town in New Jersey, just a little more than a 30-minute drive from NYC. It was a wonderful place to be brought up, feeding ducks and canoeing on the river that meandered through the town in the summer, and ice-skating on that same river in the winter.
My two brothers and I were privileged to be raised in a lovely town that was safe to explore on foot, but close enough to NYC to be taken there on day trips to see the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Baily B & B circus, museums, Chinatown, street fairs in the spring and Broadway shows as we grew older. But we thought nothing of it.
Later as teens, we would go into NYC to buy a couple of beers (the drinking age in New York State was 18, and 21 in New Jersey) and hang out in Greenwich Village where we saw singers such as Bob Dylan who were on the first rung of the ladder on their way to fame.
The sixties were a time of speaking out and creating change. I decided to do my part by joining the Peace Corps, an innovative cold war program established by John F. Kennedy in 1961. I arrived in Brazil at the end of 1966, and after an adaptation period, was sent to serve in Porto Nacional, in what was Goias at that time. I can't say I changed the course of the country, especially as I was immediately called upon to teach English in the local high school.
I have been teaching ever since; high schools, college literature, college language pedagogy, financial English and everything in-between. I married a wonderful Brazilian from Rio and we had 3 boys and moved around some, as he was an engineer who worked on hydro dams. Nowadays I am a widow and live in BH with 3 cats, one of which has extraordinary powers, and I have 4 wonderful and uniquely different grandchildren nearby. Thus far, I have had an interesting life, and this new endeavor called a blog should make it even more interesting.
Baby came to live with me when she was only 8 months old. Before that, she had belonged to a woman who had Alzheimer's disease. As a matter of fact, she had been adopted specifically for the lovely woman in the photo, Dona Magali, who named her Baby. Pets, especially older ones, can have a calming effect people with dementia and can help them to keep connected when they sleep on an elder's lap. Cats sleep as much as 16 hours a day, and are happy to sleep near their human or even on their laps, reducing the feeling of loneliness a sick person often has. And when they are awake, they don't require their human to run with them or throw a ball for them. They are self-entertaining, just like a teenager with a smart phone. Of course, other household members need to like the pet as the elder with dementia cannot be expected to take care of the animal.
Baby is a calico cat, and calico cats are always tricolor. Almost all calico cats are female, and that is something to do with their chromosomes. Every once in awhile a male calico is born, but they are almost always hermaphrodites and are sterile. There are only 3 cases worldwide of a male calico cat breeding, and in those cases they produced orange kittens.
Baby came to live with me the same weekend that Reggae did, and they spent the first week outwardly ignoring the presence of the other and exploring our apartment. I never saw them even sniff each other. But when they settled into a comfortable routine with me and with their new home, Baby was already pregnant. I don't like to say they were sneaking around behind my back, but they were without a doubt keeping their sex lives very secret. During Baby's pregnancy I did two things: I worried a lot and I had Reggae neutered. I worried that she was so young that she wouldn't be able to take care of her kittens. Sometimes very young mothers reject their offspring.
But there was no need to worry. After a normal pregnancy of a little over 2 months, she gave birth to a litter of 5 males, none calico, of course – nobody here was interested in having little hermaphroditic kittens running around. She hadn't even been living with me for 3 months. But she had accepted me enough that when she decided to hide her kittens from my overly enthusiastic grandchildren, she chose to hide them in my bedroom. It turned out that Reggae was a great father, and always stood by her when she nursed, and cleaned the kittens right alongside of her. He was very protective and probably did not yet understand that he had been neutered and would never be a full time mate for her.
After a little over 2 months of little kittens running all over and mewing to be fed, both Baby and I began to grow tired of them and I printed out signs offering free mixed breed kittens with their cute pictures, and hung them in a few pet shops. Humans love free stuff, even if they are cats, and Baby and Reggae's love kittens were easy to give away.
But Baby wasn't happy to live with a male companion who couldn't/wouldn't have sex with her, and began to taunt Reggae frequently. Poor Reggae was embarrassed and confused. So I had my oversexed Baby spayed, and harmony returned to our home. (The harmony lasted only until I adopted Charlie, but that is another story for another time.)
When Baby was young, she went through a phase of kleptomania, but after I found her hiding place, it wasn't hard to deal with. She stole earrings, pen drives, reminder notes and anything else small and guaranteed to irritate a human. But she always placed them in one of my Crocs, and never placed two things in the same Croc. She outgrew this.
Baby is about to celebrate her 8th birthday and nowadays she is a sedate queen cat who enjoys family TV time, sleeps in a sophisticated doll crib, and occasionally grooms the two male cats she cohabits with as if she were their mother. She is discerning and shows this by disapproving of some visitors I have, and greeting others with total approval. We have a strong bond as we both eat a little too much and sleep a little too much.
Reggae was given to me when he was 14 months old, on the very same weekend Baby was given to me. I had recently lost my husband and also a Siamese cat that had shared our home for 18 years, and I wasn't in an emotional state to say no. I probably would have agreed to adopt any cat that appeared at my door. Fortunately, I live in an apartment, and stray cats are unable to appear at my door.
Reggae, like Baby, already came with a name. As a kitten, a single young man who lived alone in an apartment and knew that cats were lower maintenance than dogs had adopted him. Of course cats, like dogs and most humans, need routine, fresh water, and kibble regularly, plus a clean litter box. I think Reggae's original owner used to hold a lot of parties, because Reggae is comfortable in noisy social situations, unlike the other cats that cohabit our apartment. Not only did Reggae come with a name, he also came with his own perch (which the young man called a battle station) and he enjoyed sparring with humans from atop his perch. He must have been the life of those parties of his youth. You can see Reggae on his perch in the above picture.
Reggae is a tabby cat, and that is not a breed. A tabby cat is the most common kind of mixed breed cat in the world; they can be many colors, but usually have stripes or swirls and a mark resembling an "M" on their foreheads. Reggae is mostly grey, with white mitts, a white bib and has that "M". If you observe the streets of BH, you will see hundreds of Reggae look-alikes roaming around.
Reggae was neutered right after his fling with Baby, as there isn't a big market for common grey and white kittens. I think that if he had been allowed to keep up a committed relationship with Baby, he would have made a good husband, in particular because he helped so much with their kittens. He seems almost sentimental, and that leads me to believe that he never would have forgotten an anniversary or the birthdate of their kittens. But life as a gib doesn't seem to bother him and he has kept his weight low and his energy high. (neutered=castrated, in the case of a male cat it means the removal of his testes)
He is slightly insecure, which is unusual for a tomcat. But he is the most affectionate of my three cats. If I let him, he gets onto my lap about once a day and stands up to hug me around my neck with both front legs as if he were a child and had arms. He sleeps at the foot of my bed every night, and doesn't mind if a grandchild shares the same bed. As a matter of fact, he appreciates the smells they bring from their busy days. The other two cats are highly disapproving of grandchildren sleeping over. The three cats have an unwritten rule because the other two never, ever get up on my bed before Reggae does. After he curls up, they sometimes jump onto the bed, but they never stay long. Reggae likes having Charlie around, another guy cat, and they roughhouse a lot. They are pretty good at boxing, but only train after nightfall. Charlie might be stronger than Reggae now, but Reggae has the moves, probably from his experiences on his "battle station" before he came to live here. Baby never roughhouses, but she occasionally slaps one of the guys, always with her right paw. Reggae doesn't have a favorite toy like the other two cats, but he is the only one who dares to get into the cabinet that holds the container of cat treats and knock it onto the floor, signaling that it is time for a treat. The other two come running eagerly, but never take the initiative to demand a treat. Charlie is the fastest runner of the three and gets there first, but he never eats treats. He just likes the excitement and I guess he just doesn't eat what he considers junk food because of his special powers and endless obligations.
Reggae is also well informed, because he is always there when I sit down to read the daily newspaper, and disapproves if I read electronically. He really appreciates the crinkle of paper. Unlike Baby, he is respectful of keyboards in general and doesn't walk across them or lie on them. I would have to say that Reggae is the most companionable of my three cats.
Betsy and I worked together as teachers in an English School many years ago. The need of keeping my English fluent and updated inspired me to have classes with her, so, 3 other teachers and I formed a group for these classes. Betsy's classes were always fun, full of new, challenging and interesting vocabulary, focusing on what was happening in the world and many times, with suggestions for our own classes. I still keep the material she prepared for us at that time and, surprisingly they are still fitted for my students. The environment where she teaches is so cozy that we believed we were abroad; this also contributed to the charm of the classes. Apart from that, Betsy and I have developed a strong friendship that has been kept alive up to now. I still turn to her whenever I need something and she never lets me down.
Betsy is my little sister, and I am very proud of her for her amazing language capabilities. When she was just a small girl, she would sometimes make up new words when she needed to, to avoid being slowed down by not knowing the "mainstream" word. Example: her word, "benext", a combination of "beside" and "next to", which simple meant "do lado" (but long before she ever encountered Portuguese, of course).
Fui aluna da Betsy há muitos anos atrás em uma escola de idiomas em BH e quando descobri que ela continuava dando aulas, entrei em contato e já agendei meu horário semanal. Até retornar a ser aluna da Betsy, não tinha muita motivação para ir a aulas de inglês, porém, atualmente, digo que estou indo para a minha terapia em inglês. A Betsy é uma pessoa divertidíssima, muito culta e interessada. Sua curiosidade me impressiona. As aulas com ela fluem, abordamos os mais variados assuntos e de uma maneira leve consigo aprimorar meus conhecimentos em inglês e aprender novos vocabulários. Pode acompanhar suas aulas e publicações online vai ser sensacional!
A melhor novidade para 2017 será, sem duvida, o BLOG da Betsy. Excelente professora da Língua Inglesa, Betsy tem com seus alunos uma relação de amizade espontânea, acolhendo sugestões de temas atuais, abrindo caminho para que suas aulas sejam proficientemente dinâmicas e divertidas. Para mim, sua aluna e amiga, para todos os seus alunos, tenho certeza, serão de grande valia as consultas que faremos em busca de novos esclarecimentos.

By Chriselda Mashaba- Senior Reporter
Resembling a pilgrimage to Mecca or to Zion city in Moria, on Sunday ECGians flocked to Pretoria for the Financial Revival Sunday Service.
Both main and overflow tents were filled to the brim by Saturday midnight ready to soak in the Prophet's wisdom in finances.
Strutting a beautiful leopard print shirt, Prophet Shepherd Bushiri (Major1) said "God told me that he is restoring prosperity to the church this August and It doesn't matter which church."
Major1 listed and and decoded to over 35 000 worshippers, the different types of revivals; the word, prayer, worship, ministry and financial revival.
The sales points were inundated by the financial Magnet Anointing Oil seekers throughout the morning till early noon. They formed long and winding ques long before sunrise as they understand that having the Anointing oil means carrying Major 1's Anointing wherever one goes.
"I wasn't going to miss this service for anything, nor was I going to go home without this special Anointing oil" said Mary, who arrived at 3:am but found both tents full and sat at the overflow outside till the end of service in the evening.
Upon ministering the limited edition anointing oil, financial miracles began to spring forth and only a woman who had a breakthrough in real estate was afforded the chance to share her testimony.

The Centenary of the end of World War One is being marked at The Hive with a series of special events.
Worcestershire World War One Hundred is a four year programme of events and activities commemorating the role Worcestershire played in World War One.
Remembrance at The Hive this Friday (9) from 10am until 7pm will feature a performance by Bishop Perowne School the free screening of The Battle of the Somme film with a specially commissioned score by composer Laura Rossi.
Then on Saturday (10) from 10am until 4pm, the People's Collection exhibition will be open and also visitors can see the WWW100 Bell Tent at The Hive.
On the same day, The Story of a War Memorial will feature the story of the All Saints Worcester War Memorial, just one of the thousands of war memorials erected after the end of the Great War.
Using the rare surviving papers from the committee which organised it, the fascinating story of how a parish went about commemorating their dead, how they decided what to do, how they raised the money and the stories of some of the men remembered will be told.
Dr Adrian Gregson, Collections Manager, said: "This year the Remembrance period is particularly poignant with it being 100 years since the end of end of hostilities in 1918.
"Over these two days we have a number of events highlighting different aspects of the war, including films screenings, talks, and the World War One bell tent in The Hive atrium over the two days."
All the events are free.

SMB23 - Social Gaming and the Evolution of Business
Thursday, April 28, 2011 from 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM (EDT)
Event Details
Boston's Social Media Breakfast is organized by Bob Collins with Human 1.0 and brings together business leaders, marketers and entrepreneurs for a morning of networking and sharing of ideas and innovation.
SMB23: Social Gaming - The Evolution of Business
More than ever we are seeing the term "Media" becoming disassociated with the "Social" online movement of today - and that's a good thing. Social is not a marketing media channel as it has been overly referenced. The real power of Social is its ability to build worlds of engaged communities on a scaleable basis.
One of the most vibrant examples of Social today is within the rapidly expanding Social Gaming industry. It has become the one of the fastest growing market sectors and expected to increase fivefold to $5 billion between now and 2015.
SMB23 will feature presentations by some of the most advanced thinkers and executives in Social Gaming - bringing a fresh variety of first hand experiences, insights and stories to share. From social gaming platform developers to online social game communities - our group of speakers will share a full spectrum of perspectives on the state of the movement.

Facts At Your Fingertips
When you find yourself in need of assistance, either for yourself or perhaps an aging loved one, in-home care is often your best and most economical alternative, offering you both flexibility and simplicity. It also allows an enhanced level of comfort and peace of mind not available in outside facilities.
With HomeCare Services of Connecticut, there is no long-term commitment, no large up-front financial investment, and no need to start with more care than is actually required. We have provided answers to some of your obvious questions below, and will be happy to respond to other specific questions if you call us at (860) 395-9595.
How does in-home care differ from institutional care?
View/Hide Answer
Most seniors receiving care would agree that in-home care is their preferred option. And the reasons are fairly obvious - such as the emotional value of remaining in familiar surroundings - but there are other benefits that are not always so well understood.
The one-on-one attention of in-home care is not available in an institutional setting. Our caregivers get to know our clients, leading to a more comfortable relationship and an improved ability to meet their needs. Caregivers can devote 100% of their attention to preventing falls, wandering, bed sores, and kitchen injuries, and present to call 911 within seconds of an emergency.
Home care prolongs independence. The inability to accomplish the basic activities of daily living should not condemn a senior to dependence on an institution. In-home care delivers huge benefits to the physical and mental wellbeing of our clients by taking care of their fundamental desire to remain independent at home.
Care at home is safer. Institutional residents are at high risk for developing acute illnesses such as pneumonia, dehydration, gastroenteritis, and even antibiotic-resistant staph infections. With a single caregiver attending to many people, it is harder to control cross-contamination from one infected resident to another. The one-on-one personal attention by an in-home caregiver greatly lowers the risk of such illnesses.
Home care can improve the quality of life. By remaining in their home, with proper care, seniors are able to maintain the lifestyle and amenities to which they are accustomed. Keeping all their own possessions and familiar surroundings, home care clients are able to visit the same stores, restaurants, neighbors and other places they already know.
How do I find out if this is the right option for me?
View/Hide Answer
A telephone conversation is the easiest and quickest way for you to explain your needs and quickly determine if in-home care is the right option. Call us at (860) 395-9595
Do you charge for an initial in-home consultation?
View/Hide Answer
No. Following a phone conversation to determine whether our services may fit your needs, we will schedule a free in-person, no-obligation consultation with our Executive Director and Patient Care Manager. We will meet you at a location most comfortable for you - typically at the home of the person to receive care. This meeting normally lasts 30-60 minutes in order to gain full understanding of your requirements. This consultation is crucial because it leads to the development of the HCSC Care Giving Plan.
How do you insure that care being provided remains consistent with my wishes?
View/Hide Answer
Together we create a comprehensive HCSC Care Giving Plan document that outlines the wishes of our clients to all HomeCare Services of Connecticut employees involved in the care process: the Executive Director, Patient Care Manager and In-Home Caregiver. All information regarding the consultation and HCSC Care Giving Plan is included in the HCSC Care Giving Folder which is reviewed with any assigned caregiver(s) and remains conveniently accessible in your home at all times.
Ongoing monitoring and documentation of care provides the means to make sure we are meeting your objectives and to ensure that care is properly supervised. We provide weekly recaps that are used as a means of communicating about activities and if desired, as documentation for Long-Term Care Insurance policies.
Will my health insurance or Medicare pay for your services?
View/Hide Answer
Unfortunately at this time, non-medical in-home care is not eligible for health insurance benefits or Medicare. However, some long-term care insurance policies will pay for these services. Each policy is different so you should check your specific policy or contact your insurance agent to determine the limits of your coverage. If your policy does afford you home healthcare benefits, we can provide documentation and recaps to assist you in filing for reimbursement.
Why should I use HomeCare Services of Connecticut instead of hiring a caregiver directly?
View/Hide Answer
There is more to obtaining qualified, consistent, and reliable care than one might think. Recruiting, interviewing, reference checking, background screening, legally employing, scheduling, monitoring and obtaining replacements for ill primary caregivers takes significant time and financial resources. We believe you will quickly discover that the benefits of using our services more than outweigh any additional cost.
Using HomeCare Services of Connecticut also provides substantial legal and financial protection. The State of Connecticut has enacted significant laws and regulations to protect in-home geriatric caregivers. These regulations stipulate a variety of requirements related to compensation, overtime, work breaks, workers compensation insurance, unemployment insurance, minimum wage and other related issues. The rules and regulations evolve over time and unfortunately continue to become more complex and onerous. Using our services helps shield you from liabilities related to back taxes, workers compensation insurance fees and other related penalties, which can easily amount to thousands of dollars in a relatively short period of time.
We are a resource for a variety of services beyond in-home care. Seniors and their families often need related services that HomeCare Services of Connecticut does not directly provide; healthcare, hospice, financial and legal assistance, and a variety of others. We are available to explain what options might be available in your area either on a free or private pay basis. We concern ourselves with these other areas because they affect our clients' effective overall care.
Do I have to make any long-term commitment or sign a long-term contract?
View/Hide Answer
No. You are under no obligation to continue services for any period of time. However, in the State of Connecticut, you are required to sign a contract in order to do business with us because we are registered with the State as a private care agency.
We do ask that you provide us with 24 hours' notice for cancellation of an upcoming caregiving visit.
How am I billed by HomeCare Services of Connecticut?
View/Hide Answer
We request a deposit upon signing the contract and prior to commencement of services. This deposit is credited to the first week of care, and the client is billed weekly thereafter. Invoices are sent out weekly, and we accept private payments by check or credit card.
Please contact the office with any questions, comments or concerns.

Is there a minimum hour requirement on a daily or weekly basis?
View/Hide Answer
Our minimum consists of 3-hour shifts, although 2-hour shifts may be accommodated if we have a caregiver in the area. If you need just one shift per week or per month, we can schedule that for you.
How do you select your caregivers? Are they bonded and insured?
View/Hide Answer
As a certified home care agency licensed by the State of Connecticut, we meet requirements for a range of criteria including pre-employment background screening, workers compensation insurance, liability insurance, and bonding. All of our caregivers are bonded, insured, employed by HomeCare Services of Connecticut, and covered by workers compensation and unemployment taxes, and are rigorously screened.
Am I protected from liability for workers compensation, unemployment taxes, or employment taxes?
View/Hide Answer
Yes. One of the primary benefits of utilizing HomeCare Services of Connecticut is our client protection from these types of liabilities and penalties which can be quite substantial.
Do you provide services in hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, or other locations?
View/Hide Answer
Yes. HomeCare Services of Connecticut caregivers are available to provide services where you need them, when you need them.
Can my caregiver provide transportation?
View/Hide Answer
Yes. With your authorization, our caregivers can drive you or your loved one to whatever destination you desire such as doctor's appointments, shopping, recreational activities, errands, etc. Driving arrangements may be accommodated with your or your loved one's vehicle, or in a caregiver's. This is determined on a case by case basis.
Can my caregiver assist with medications, injections, medical advice or assistance?
View/Hide Answer
For your safety and protection, as well as our adherence to the law, our caregivers CANNOT administer medical services. Your caregiver can remind you to take your medications; however, they cannot physically administer any medications to you including injections or other similar treatments.
What happens if my caregiver is ill or cannot make an appointment due to an emergency?
View/Hide Answer
In the event of a caregiver illness or other conflict, we will provide a comparable temporary replacement. Restoring services from your primary caregiver is our highest priority once their illness has subsided such that they are safe to provide care.
What happens if I want to switch caregivers?
View/Hide Answer
Your satisfaction is our most important objective and we strive to match personalities and create good relationships the first time around. If you are not satisfied for any reason, we will continue seeking the ideal person to satisfy your needs. If we are unable to find the right fit, we will work with another organization in an effort to find a suitable caregiver. We are here to serve you, whatever it takes.
What is respite care?
View/Hide Answer
Respite care is meant to offer some temporary relief for a family member or close friend who is providing primary care. Primary caregivers often need a break from caregiving to rest and replenish their energy, as well as avoiding the depression and burnout commonly associated with continuous care. Respite care arranged through HomeCare Services of Connecticut allows the primary caregiver peace of mind that their loved one's care is in the hands of a qualified professional.
Do you provide 24-hour care?
View/Hide Answer
Yes. 24-hour care can be arranged.

Last month, we wrote about how Colorado was described as one of country's new hot spots for venture capital after venture capital professionals from across the country met with some of the state's top entrepreneurs at the Colorado Venture Summit.
Venture capital investments on the rise in Colorado
Colorado new hot-spot for venture capital?
While Colorado isn't exactly considered the epicenter of venture capital investing, talented entrepreneurs and unique companies are beginning to draw more investors in.
Seed funding used to jumpstart e-commerce business
Seed funding occurs when to encourage investment an investor ends up purchasing a portion of the business in return for the money it contributes. This seed money is generally needed in the very early stages of an organization when funds may in particular be in short supply.
Colorado Springs short on venture capital investments
The inability to raise venture capital has plagued Colorado Springs in recent years. Few startup companies have been able to raise funds in recent years and the city would have to look back to the first quarter in 2013 to find a computer storage manufacturer securing $2 million. This and another $25 million investment in 2012 have reportedly been the only venture capital that any local company has received during the past four years.
Colorado bio-tech firm gives IPO a second try
The initial public offering for companies does not always pay-off the first time around and sometimes subsequent IPOs are required. One Colorado firm is now attempting to raise $35 million through an IPO. It had attempted to raise $75 million in 2012, but those plans fell through when the firm could not locate buyers.
Signpost is raising venture capital to expand on Denver office
Signpost is a company that produces marketing automation software used by small and medium-sized businesses. It now would like to expand by relocating its Denver office to an 8,500-square-foot location near the downtown area.
Visiting venture capitalists talk to Colorado group
At The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs, Front Range entrepreneurs hoping to attract capital heard from the venture capitalists themselves on important steps to take. Venture capital provides money to startup companies in Denver and across the state. The investors had come from states ranging from California to Texas.
Avoid these traits when pitching to potential investors
One of the most crucial steps in starting a business can be identifying and seeking the funding that is often necessary for startups. Whether a person is reaching out to angel investors or venture capital firms, the goal should be on closing business transactions and securing the financing that can be vital to the initial success of a business.
What is happening to new Colorado businesses every 3 days?
We have previously discussed how popular Colorado is becoming with entrepreneurs on this blog. Based on a number of factors unique to the state, business owners have been flocking to parts of Colorado to launch their startup business. But a new study confirms just how many startups began last year.
What 4 factors attract venture capital for startups?
Starting a business in Colorado can be a very exciting experience for eager entrepreneurs. However, this is not to say that it is ever an easy or straightforward process. There are a number of challenges that a business owner will face throughout the life of the business, but one of the first obstacles that many people arrive at is securing venture capital.

Abstract and Keywords
Toothed whales and dolphins, odontocete cetaceans, produce very loud biosonar sounds in order to navigate and to locate and catch their prey of fish and squid. Underwater biosonar was not discovered until after 1950, but the initial experiments demonstrated a unique sensory modality that could find small targets far away and distinguish between objects buried in mud that differed only by the metal from which they were made. Dolphins determine the distance to their prey by evaluating very small time differences between the outgoing signal and the echo return. The type of outgoing signal varies greatly from low frequency, explosively loud sperm whale clicks, to frequency modulated mid-frequency beaked whale sounds, to very high frequency (over 100 kHz) harbor porpoise signals. All appear to be made by specialized pneumatic phonic lips closely connected to sound projecting fatty melons that focus sound before sending out narrow echolocation sound beams. The frequency of most hearing is matched to echolocation, with the areas of best hearing of the animals being the areas of principal outgoing signal frequency. The sensation levels of hearing are under the animal's control with "automatic gain control" operating to assure the best hearing of the echo returns. Angular localization of the bottlenose dolphins, for discriminating the minimum audible angles of clicks, is less than one degree in both the horizontal and vertical directions. This remarkable localization performance has yet to be fully explained, but new hypotheses of gular pathways, shaded receiver models, and internal pinnae may provide some explanations as a theory of auditory localization in the odontocetes develops.

The Cretaceous Sea - Far West QLD
Where I am at the moment is not very spectacular in scenery or wildlife at the moment. However, 100 to 10 million years ago I would have been underwater. My heading seen in red is to get to Townsville; however, at the moment I am in Australia's national dinosaur capital, and I am going to spend this week exploring the great inland sea at the time, known as Euromanga.
The Cretaceous period was is most iconic with all of the most recognisable dinosaurs from this region being land dwelling. Monsters such as the T-rex and herbivores such as the Triceratops and the Brontosaurus. But what lies beneath the waterline?

Internet retailing is still an emerging channel in Nigeria and is facing challenges such as a lack of consumer confidence due to fraudulent activities and the supply of inferior products. However, the option of payment on delivery for most products has served to boost consumer demand and confidence in the channel.
The growing number of smartphone users with internet access will be vital to the further growth of internet retailing. Many consumers are using their smartphones to purchase products and services, with this supported by the growing ease of making online payments.
A convenient shopping experience which gets products to the doorsteps of consumers always comes at a price and the sluggish growth of the economy contributed to the relatively slow growth of the channel in 2018 when compared to earlier years. Low consumer purchasing power also impacted growth in 2018.
In 2018, Jumia Nigeria remained the leading internet retailing platform thanks to a strong presence and financial situation, which give it a competitive advantage over other players. The company's focus on third party sales, rather than its own, has also contributed to its strong position.
In 2018, more internet retailers also sold goods in the offline channel due to Nigerian consumers finding it important to feel and touch products when buying them. The slow growth of the economy also pushed consumers to seek affordable products through various store-based channels.
Internet retailers in Nigeria faced increasing competition from cross-border operators such as Amazon and eBay in 2018 due to some consumers having greater trust in these platforms and recognising the fact that they offer a much wider range of goods, with many domestic platforms still struggling to gain the trust and loyalty of a significant number of Nigerians, who remained more comfortable with store-based retailing. To counter cross-border trade, retailers such as Jumia are offering products which are shipped from abroad, with this giving consumers greater confidence in the quality of the products they are purchasing.

Norwich animal activist with muscular dystrophy tells university: "Shut your dog lab down"
PUBLISHED: 11:37 26 September 2018 | UPDATED: 11:37 26 September 2018
A Norwich animal activist with muscular dystrophy has urged a US university to shut down its lab which researches into the disease.
The lab, at Texas A&M University (TAMU), uses dogs for its research.
Earlier this month, Johnathon Byrne flew to the US to condemn the lab and confronted TAMU president Michael Young.
He carried a banner showing an image from a billboard used by PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals).
PETA US senior vice-president Kathy Guillermo said: "For nearly four decades, an experimenter at TAMU has been tormenting dogs out of view of the public, with no cure or successful treatment for human MD patients in sight. PETA is joining forces with Johnathon Byrne to call for an end to these horrible experiments on sensitive dogs."
TAMU said that the dogs are "already affected by the disease" and are "treated with the utmost respect and exceptional care".

There have been different forum posts and questions coming up with ways to organize and customize the toolbox. People often times talk in solutions without actually stating their problem, but I think these are the two situations people want to improve:
- The toolbox take too much space on smaller screen sizes which robs people of more working room. Some tablets even have less space because people use bigger buttons to allow for touching (like the Surface Pro and its 10.1 inch size).
- Some people only want to see the few tools that they use instead of having to look through all of them
- Are there any other reasons why people want to change the toolbox?
Some Suggested solutions
Some things people have suggested from IRC, forums, and bugzilla (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=396226) that could help with this situation.
- Option to show/hide each tool (shown in wireframe)
- Potentially condensing some tools so there are less of them
- grouping options to put multiple tools in one area like other applications
- Do nothing. Are we getting enough complaints and people wanting this to even bother? If it is a small minority, might not be worth the time
- any other solutions to these problems?
