Perspectives: Thinking Strategically, Acting Expediently to Improve LTSS in California
The time to improve California's long-term services and supports system (LTSS) is now. The state has a growing aging population, opportunities for innovation have emerged through the Affordable Care Act, California's Senate Select Committee on Aging and Long-Term Care will soon make its recommendations to the legislature, and finally, the state is digging out of years of recession.Date Updated: 10/06/2014
In 2014, The SCAN Foundation hosted its 4th Annual LTSS Summit to bring together advocates, community-based providers, health plans, and state administrative and legislative staff to build their knowledge and skills for developing a stronger system of person-centered care for all older Californians. The Summit was grounded in California's ranking on the State LTSS Scorecard released by the AARP Policy Institute, with support from the Foundation and The Commonwealth Fund, earlier in the year. The state ranked 9th overall. Dr. Bruce Chernof's Perspectives explores California's rank and opportunities to improve the state's system of care.

(AZT Records, CD)
It's official: The Queen City is in the middle of a hip-hop boom. Over the last couple of years, Burlington's rappers and DJs have raised the bar for homegrown "urban" music. Make room for The Aztext, whose excellent Haven't You Heard is destined to become a local hip-hop classic.
Featuring the microphone talents of Pro and Learic, The Aztext trade in alliterative rhymes with more twists and turns than 89 South.
Following an obligatory introduction, the disc kicks into gear with "It's True," a track also featured on the recent compilation Greetings From Vermont. Tough yet tuneful, the song boasts bluesy, sampled piano and an articulate flow.
"Breakthrough" is loaded with good-natured braggadocio. In keeping with hip-hop tradition, the duo spends plenty of time cataloguing their skills. But their rapid-fire lyrics break from the norm, glorifying musical integrity over commercial success.
"Learn to Talk," looks at self-identity through a Québecois lens. "Growin' up a half-American/Canadian kid, I never knew home sweet home, that's just the way that it is," Pro states. "Thinkin' in French, speaking in English and playin' with kids / Who did the opposite, and know what they was sayin' and shit." It isn't your average street narrative. But, as the advice goes, write what you know.
"You Is You" takes president Bush to task for the administration's response to Hurricane Katrina. "We got a crisis in the making, lots of lives are being taken / I'm sorry the president had to return early from vacation," the rappers chide. "Where were you when they needed you? / Oh, you can send 18-year-olds to Iraq to get killed but can't protect your own red, white and blue?" Sadly, the questions are still relevant.
"Better Act Like You Know" is a ready-made club banger. Again, the lyrics reflect the ethics of the underground. "Soon as you're major then they say, 'don't go against the grain' / So I decided if it happens, I'll just let it rain," the MCs proudly declare.
Indie hip-hop star Wordsworth pops by for the title track, a spicy cut with a coarse guitar sample and ball-busting beat. Things (literally) go south on "This Right Here," which features a slow-motion groove straight out of cough syrup-happy Houston.
Chances are The Aztext won't be asking Haven't You Heard? for much longer. Their CD release party takes place at Nectar's on Tuesday,
May 9.

At this year's State of the Black Union, Dick Gregory apologized to President Bill Clinton on behalf of Blacks for our role in allowing Clinton to believe that he was Black.
In that same spirit, I feel compelled to apologize to Charles Knipp on behalf of gays for allowing him to think that he's one of the Black women that he unsuccessfully tries to emulate. I also want to apologize to Black women on behalf of gay America for Charles Knipp. Knipp's latest cry for help involved superimposing my head on some other Black woman's naked body (link NSFW) and then tactlessly posting it on his website for my continuing to expose his constant mockery of the Black woman.

Review: Toshiba Camileo X-Sports HD camcorder
The Camileo X-Sports is Toshiba's answer to a GoPro camcorder. At £180 (US$300), it lines up against GoPro's entry level Hero3, which itself retails for £199 ($330). Gizmag took a look at the Camileo X-Sports' specifications and how it performs.
Although this isn't a comparison article, it's useful to look at the device's figures alongside those of the GoPro to start with, in order to provide a bit of a context. GoPro, after all, is somewhat of the benchmark in this area.
The Camileo will match the Full HD resolution of the Hero3 at 1080p, but will give a better frame-rate of 60 fps compared to the GoPro's 30 fps. Indeed, the Camileo can actually be stretched to 1600 x 1200p at 60 fps and offers a maximum of 12 MP for still photos compared to the Hero3's 5 MP.
At 94 g (3.3 oz), the Camileo is a little heavier than the GoPro, which comes in at 74 g (2.6 oz), but it's more compact, measuring 5 x 7 x 3 cm (1.9 x 2.9 x 1.2 in) against the GoPro's 10 x 25 x 10 cm (3.9 x 9.6 x 3.9 in).
Toshiba is pushing a number of main features with the Camileo. It comes with an extensive mounting kit so that it can be attached to a number of different things, such as bike handlebars or compatible helmets. A waterproof case allows it to be used at depths of up to 60 m (197 ft), or just to provide a little extra protection to the device. A remote control and mobile app also extend the functionality of the camera.
Unfortunately, there were a few pieces missing from the mounting kit of our review unit, but there was a wide enough variety that we were able to improvise. The range of parts actually mean that you can attach the Camileo to pretty much anything you choose and in a number of different ways. The kit includes all sorts of clips, brackets and adhesives that mean you should have everything you need.
One thing to note is that the mounting kit attaches to the case, not the camera itself, so it's likely that much of the use you'll get out of the camera is while its enclosed in the case. For anyone who's used a digital camera before, the Camileo is easy to operate and the buttons and menus are pretty self-explanatory. Once you've added the case though, the buttons become less responsive, as you'd expect. The screen is also less visible once it's enclosed, especially in bright sunlight, although casting a shadow over it with a hand resolved the problem for us.
As you'll see in our test footage (below), the video quality kicked out by the Camileo is excellent. It's so sharp and clear (when static) as to pick out individual blades of grass. The real trick is being able to mount the camera in such a way as to minimize shudder when doing activities such as mountain biking. We found that we were able to improve the quality by adjusting the way in which we mounted the device and that's probably something for which users will have to go through a bit of trial and error.
We found the remote to be a particularly useful part of the kit. It's nothing sophisticated – just a couple of large, plastic buttons that can be strapped to the user's arm – but it meant the camera could be easily operated when it was out of reach or out of sight without accidentally moving it's direction of focus or blindly pressing the wrong button.
By far and away our favorite feature was the mobile app available for iOS and Android, to which the camera connects directly and relays a thumbnail video image. The user can then control the camera remotely via their smartphone. This functionality is especially useful when you want to position the camera for a shot out of reach or for when you're filming alone. We didn't stretch the range too much, but we did get a comfortable 10 m (33 ft) without any issues. Naturally, there was a slight lag, but nothing that affected our use of the device.
One other handy piece of functionality was the "beep" that alerts the user when filming has started or stopped. This is particularly helpful when the camera is mounted on handlebars or on a helmet and it's difficult to see if an action has been registered. Unfortunately, the alert was far less audible once the camera was inside its case and it became difficult to tell if filming had been started or stopped as required.
The only other real qualm we had with the Camileo was its battery life. Our device lasted for about 1 hr 15 min on constant use, which seems very low. Granted we didn't switch the device fully off – we were just toggling the record function on and off – but this felt like the most natural way to use it. If we could have had 2-3 hours out of the Camileo we'd have been satisfied. As it is, this is an area that could perhaps be improved.
When all's said and done, we were mightily impressed with the Camileo. It comes with a fully loaded kit and its specs compare favorably against the comparative (entry level) GoPro device. Not only that, it's also cheaper. This may be Toshiba's only offering in this market at the moment, but it's a great first attempt – and one we'd be hard pressed to overlook at this level.
The video below shows some of our test footage shot with the Camileo X-Sports.

Hello, Project Eve!
I am going on vacation from August 5th through August 19th. I will be back on the case August 26th.
However, I don't want you to be bored, so I am leaving you with a summer reading list.
ANNACOLIBRI's Summer Reading List
Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion by Robert B. Cialdini, Ph.D.
This book is, I have to admit, a little heavy but the information is very well-researched and valuable. You will never look at your decision-making process the same way again.
Story: Substance, Structure, Style, and the Principles of Screenwriting by Robert McKee
A contemporary non-fiction classic in the making, this book teaches you to tell a story — an important and timeless, really — trend in marketing and branding. In addition to the book's practical value, it is a thought-provoking treasure.
The Art of Closing the Sale by Brian Tracy
For those of you who understand the importance of sales but aren't sure how to get started, this book sells you on selling and also provides TONS of practical information on how to close a deal.
Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy
Perhaps my favorite book of all time, the central message of this book is that we cannot achieve happiness at the expense of other people and that theme is intricately explored across characters. If you ever read a novel that explores the inner workings of the human heart and mind better than this one, please email me ([email protected]) right away.
The Notebook by Agota Kristof
Although mostly unknown to US readers, I personally loved this book because of its Hemingway-esque simplicity (French style) but also because of its surprise ending. A quick read.
Bringing Up Bébé: One American Mother Discovers the Wisdom of French Parenting by Pamela Druckerman
Although my direct experience belies some of Ms. Druckerman's assertions, she makes a couple of very important points, namely: Discipline is very important for children and families benefit when mothers remember that, first and foremost, they are women with desires and needs.
The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali — any version
This is the basic text of yoga. Before you step into that hot yoga class, take an hour or two to read this foundational text. It will brief you on yoga's true purpose.
If you can read all of this in 3 weeks while your children are on summer break, more power to you!
Have a great summer and I'll look forward to reconnecting August 26th.
Your Turn
Any books to recommend to me? I'm always learning.

It's my favorite time of year again, that magical holiday of fandom and geekiness, of cosplay and panels and running into celebrities on the street…of buying too many toys and pieces of art you don't need (and comics and books you do), of late nights and early mornings, of aching backs and aching feet, of braving the dreaded Hall H line just to say you were there when Loki demanded you kneel before him or when Misha Collins bought pizza and coffee for the line. It's the holiday they call San Diego Comic Con. Unfortunately, for the first time in twelve years, I found myself unable to make the trek down to San Diego…mostly because the trek is over 1,500 miles longer now that I don't live in California.
Comic Con has been a family tradition since my parents took me for the first time when I was twelve. To be honest, I don't remember much about my first Con. I remember seeing the exhibit hall for the first time and having my little head explode from the sheer enormity of the place, from far too many things to see and do in the single day our badges allowed. But beyond that, the specifics of that day all get blurred together with the first few years I went to the convention, I couldn't begin to tell you what I saw one year or the next. I do remember the first year I tried to go to a panel–a Psych panel because of course it was–and learned that one does not simply walk into Ballroom 20 twenty minutes before the panel begins. The year after that I learned you don't do it an hour before either. I remember the year we finally did make it into Ballroom 20–getting up at the crack of dawn to get in the already absurdly long line for panels that wouldn't even start for six or so hours (later I'd learn that six hours in line is in fact nothing)–and camping out there all day seeing panel after panel after panel with my parents. It was glorious. And exhausting.
A ton of amazing memories have been made at Comic Con over the years—especially once we started going for multiple days and got to enjoy more parts of the Con outside of the exhibit hall. There was the year Mom and I went to the Psych the Musical premier, standing in line for hours, getting free Psych themed swag, watching the cast pull up in the Weiner Mobile and walk the line to greet fans, and getting to see the two-hour long musical episode in the theater a full six months before it aired on TV. Or the year I ran into Misha Collins outside my hotel. For those who don't know, Misha Collins plays my all-time favorite character Castiel on Supernatural and is generally my favorite celebrity. I somehow managed to hold it together long enough to get a picture with him but the second he was gone my friend Michelle practically had to carry me away from there as my legs were basically noodles at that point. That was also the year I tried cosplaying for the first time and went as Scarlet Witch from Avengers: Age of Ultron for a day. Another great year was the year I went to a Supernatural fan party and made two new Supernatural-loving friends and—later in the weekend—ended up spending the night in the Hall H line with them for the Supernatural panel—a major rite of passage for Comic Con attendees I hadn't actually done before. So many great memories, and I'm sad that I didn't get to make even more this year but although it might be a while before I make it back, I'm confident that last year was not my last year attending San Diego Comic Con.

No to austerity and mobilising for alternatives argues EPSU at ETUC MidTerm Conference
As recovery from the pandemic is taking place several finance ministers have started to argue we have to go back to balanced budgets and reduce state debts. EPSU and many other unions argued at the ETUC mid term conference that we can not go back to austerity.

EPSU team wishes you all a very good and combative 1st of May
One year on the pandemic is still raging across the globe. India and Brazil are very sad testimonies of governments that failed to put workers' and peoples' interests before narrow, ideological and corporate elite interests.

Thanks! Attached find some patches over yours, please comment. In particular the crash one should have shown up in your testing. In case you want to apply them, I've applied your patch with [apply] whitespace = strip in my ~/.gitconfig which removed some trailing whitespaces.

For the first residency in 2011, CeRCCa selected Liliya Lifanova, a multi media artist from Kyrgyzstan based in NYC, Yun Jeong Hong, an installation artist from Korea and Vivek Chokalingam, a product designer from India.
Together they developed different projects that ranged from a community art workshop to public interventions and a design installation. Their work was exhibited at Espai d´Art Les Quintanes at the end of April 2011.
Born in South Korea, Yun Jeong Hong received her BFA from Seoul Women's University in 2005, and her MFA from the University of Illinois in 2010. Her works involve sculpture, installation, painting, drawing, curating, writing, video and performance.
In the last years, Yun Jeong's works have been shown internationally. Some of her more celebrated exhibitions are PLAYTIME, at Culture Station Seoul 284, 32nd JoongAng Fine Arts, Hangaram Art Museum at the Seoul Art Center and Mouthing (the Sentient Limb), at the Hyde Park Art Center in Chicago. Her sculpture was awarded the first prize of The Manifest, Manifest Gallery, Cincinnati (U.S.A).
The work of Yun Jeong Hong proposed a labyrinthical pathway through memory. The installation consisted of a collection of objects in which Yun Jeong Hong expressed her interest towards the object as a container of experiences. Playing between reality and fiction, the artist used wool, textiles and domestic objects, transforming them into an immobile landscape through the obsessive and omnipresent use of cement as a unifying element. Memories, framed in the structure of a bed aged by time, breathe powerlessly, stuffed and heavy. The monumental sculpture was accompanied by a collection of pieces of both a subtle and disturbing nature that worked as laborious transformations of traces of fictitious pasts by using delicate materials, such as glass, copper, weaved textile and old photographs.
One day before the opening of the exhibition, Yun created a public installation that traced the path between CeRCCa and Espai d´Art Les Quintanes. The public installation consisted in creating a mirror like effect using the pipe holes of the houses as a symbol of connection between the inside and the outside of the buildings.
Liliya Lifanova is a Kyrgyzstan-born American artist. She received her MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and has been awarded the Fulbright Fellowship for Installation Art. Her work has been exhibited both nationally and internationally, most recently at Gridchinhall in Moscow, Russia, and at the Parrish Art Museum in Southampton, NY.
'My work explores notions of nostalgia, identity and dislocation, often using a binary scheme. Based on extensive research, I engage in a period of fastidious fabrication of parameters (spatial, narrative or costume), which I use to direct and define my video and performance projects.'
The art practice of Liliya Lifanova emanates a feeling of impermanence and fantasy. The Flying Carpet project was the result of a collaboration between the artist, the 5th grade students of the local school, Les Cometes de Llorenç del Penedès, and a group of local stitchers. Inspired by the myths and the nomadic traditions of her native Kyrgyzstan, the artist held a workshop where the children were involved in the creation of a felt carpet.
The workshop was not merely a didactic activity but an experience where the children could share with the artist the location of their magical, real and imaginary places at Cal Figueres, the farmhouse where the workshop was held. Through careful production of costumes, props and staging, Liliya Lifanova created a dream-like scenario where the children were urged to access their inner wizards so as to imbue their work with magic. The felt pieces made by the children were then sewn together by a group of women from the village to create a flying carpet. In the Espai d'Art Les Quintana, Liliya exhibited the carpet and other materials made for the workshop as well as a video piece documenting the whole project. That video piece was the result of the collaboration between the artists and Xavier Mitjan's editing studio, 'Solucions Audiovisuals' in Llorenç del Penedès.
Along with The Flying Carpet project, Liliya Lifanova presented 'Untitled. Newspapers from January-March 2011. Robert family, a work based on meditative repetition. It comprised over 5000 pieces made with rolled newspapers that the Robert family accumulated in their home between January and March 2011. The result was a spectacular landscape-archive where the patient, dedicated and healing action of the artist was displayed.liliyalifanova.com
Vivek Chockalingam is a Bangalore-based artist, creator and sculptor. After graduating with a degree in Product Design from Srishti School of Art, Design and Technology Chockalingam worked on several commissioned design projects centered on environmentally friendly themes. Bottled Kalamari, his installation at Sunburn Goa 2011, was an interactive sculpture comprising a metal framework, upon which discarded plastic bottles found at the festival were incorporated. The sculpture, created in collaboration with artists Nachiappan Ramanathan and Shanti Ganesha, was large enough to be experienced from the inside and grew as the festival progressed, as attendees could stick their empty plastic bottles into the sculpture to help complete it. Another recent installation The Cyclic-bug was commissioned by Puma's sustainable store in Bangalore, and is made up of discarded bicycle parts.
Vivek's project rested in an intermediate indefinite state. This uncertainty was present not only in his methodology, which was going through different creative disciplines, but also regarding the materials used and the concept of the piece. The origin of the expression 'Ojala', a Castilianism of common use in our country is interpreted by Vivek through the concept 'Insha'Allah,' an expression popularly used in Arabic countries that could be translated as: 'If God wills.' This concept is defined by the artist as 'used when something is intended to be done in the future, but not as a certainty but as an uncertainty. That is: beauty lies in the acceptance that nothing is certain and whatever ultimately happens is the way for you to find truth and happiness.'
His installation rested then in a state of transitoriness by transforming a chair in a cosmology of possibilities and impossibilities that materialized both 'Ojala' and 'Insha'Allah.' These areas of uncertainty are understood by the artist as unique opportunities to undertake new challenges. Vivek was inspired by this concept to create a multifunctional and ambiguous structure that reflects upon the possibility to become something that is located between art, craft and design.vivekchocka.com

A large portion of Tabor House Road in Chilmark will be closed for several days this week due to a repaving project.
The road will be closed from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday from the North Road intersection to the town landfill. Residents will be able to access Tiercel Lane and Middle Line Road from Middle Road until the paving reaches those roads.
Paving is expected to begin from the North Road intersection, moving toward Middle Road. Both lanes will be paved to eliminate a risk of a center seam cracking, the Chilmark highway department said in an announcement posted on the town website.
Voters approved $200,000 for the repaving of Tabor House Road at the annual town meeting in April. A paving schedule for Menemsha will be discussed at the Chilmark selectmen's weekly meeting on Tuesday night.

HealthDay News — Certain metabolites whose levels decline over time appear to have an effect on the circadian clock, according to a study published in Cell Metabolism.
Ziv Zwighaft, from the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel, and colleagues used mouse models and cell cultures to assess polyamines. Circadian locomotor activity was assessed by monitoring wheel running activity. RNA transcription was assessed with real-time polymerase chain reaction.
The researchers found that polyamine levels oscillate daily. The daily accumulation of key enzymes in polyamine biosynthesis is regulated by both clock- and feeding-dependent mechanisms, such as the rhythmic binding of BMAL1:CLOCK to conserved DNA elements. In cultured cells and animals, polyamines control the circadian period by regulating the interaction between the core clock repressors PER2 and CRY1. The longer circadian period associated with the decline in polyamine levels with age in mice can be reversed with polyamine supplementation.
"Our findings suggest a crosstalk between circadian clocks and polyamine biosynthesis and open new possibilities for nutritional interventions against the decay in clock's function with age," conclude the authors.

For property brochures, you have two options:
- Upload your own brochure
- Create a brochure using the system
Upload existing brochures
Many agencies produce their own very professionally branded property brochures for marketing purposes using either dedicated publishing software or through a third-party designer. These can easily be attached to the property record for reference, and are shown on the property overview if available for ease of access.
- On the property marketing overview page, click Options > Brochures.
- On the brochures page, click Upload.
- Select the brochure file from your local computer in either Word or PDF format.
- Provide an optional title or description, if appropriate. Generally if you're only uploading one brochure a title is not necessary.
- Click Save.
- The brochure will be shown on the brochures page, along with the ability to download or delete it.
Create a brochure within the system
The brochure system within Elevate is fairly basic due to the fact that everyone wants their own style and it's very complex for us to generate this level of customisation. We've found that in these cases agents are often quite happy to create more detailed brochures separately and then upload them (see above).
If you have a particular style of brochure that you would like the system to generate for you, please send it to us in a support request and we'll see if there's anything we can do for this, but we can't make any promises. This could also involve some design fees, but we will let you know at that time and you certainly will not incur any fees that you haven't agreed to in advance, so don't worry.
You can improve the look of your brochure by applying your own agency's branding.
- On the property marketing overview page, click Options > Brochures.
- On the brochures page, click Create Brochure.
- In the pop-up box, you can choose your own branding style, if you have defined one, and also the type of brochure you wish to create.
The Elevate Brochure is the default brochure style, and is fairly basic but includes description, images, key details such as price, features, etc.
The Unstyled option isn't a brochure as such but collates all marketing information into one PDF document which can be used to easily copy and paste details into a separate document, which is much handier than copying from all the individual fields.
The Window Card is a one-page compact marketing option suitable for window display.
- The brochure is generated in PDF format in a separate window and you can then save this and upload as in the first section above.
Brochures will be included in the feed to the property portals.

Coachella 2011: Animal Collective weirds out the teletransported aliens from Mars -- and Burning Man scribe Brian Doherty
This article was originally on a blog post platform and may be missing photos, graphics or links. See About archive blog posts.
At Animal Collective's set Saturday night, a man stood next to me in a vest, tie and sports coat, not the usual Coachella get-up. He turned to me with a question.
'If we teletransported someone from 50 years ago to this moment now, would that person think we've gone insane, based on this show?'
We both agreed: Yes.
For the last 20 minutes, Animal Collective had been assailing the crowd with video footage from fellow experimental noisemakers Black Dice. Three giant cubes hovered over the band, slaves to a sequence of color-saturated imagery that veered from pixels soaked in LSD to nature imagery soaked in LSD to some rippling coil shape that might've been your colon on LSD. The two screens on either side of the band projected the same. It was basically meant to melt your mind.
Coachella 2011 in photos: The acts and scene | 360° Panoramas | The faces
Musically, the mission was the same. Animal Collective does have actual songs with beginnings, middles and ends, but you wouldn't have known it from Saturday night. Verse-chorus-verse sticklers were out of luck. Then again, you don't see Animal Collective with the hope that it'll cover a Mumford and Sons song.
Sometimes a song would start, only to transport into the next by way of burbling passage, as if being ferried from one stalagmited cave to another.
'Didn't these guys used to do stuff with their voices that was, um, pretty?'
It was the businessman with another good question. His name, by the way, is Brian Doherty, a journalist who wrote 'This Is Burning Man,' a definitive guide to Coachella's wayward Nevada sister, an anarchic festival that makes Coachella look like something conceived by Barbara Bush. He also writes essays on politics as the senior editor at Reason magazine.
Doherty knows his festivals, and has been to Coachella several times since its start. For fun, he works on the Tesla coil at the festival every year, operated by his friend Syd Klinge. 'Last night, we blew up a capacitator by accident,' Doherty said. 'Literally, it exploded.'
Doherty, Klinge and the rest of the Coil crew stay in an offsite area where all the crew members for the various contraptions stay, partying with each other late into the night.
Occasionally, Animal Collective did burst into the kind of vocal harmonies that earned it comparisons to the Beach Boys, if the Wilsons had been reared by a pack of wolves. After the video screen barfed up more supervivid imagery cut with the words 'IRRESISTIBLE POWER,' the group led into the most clear-cut song of the night. 'Summertime Clothes,' a sweat-covered tale of wandering New York -- probably on drugs. The marbled, bright synth layers hit the audience like glare on a windshield; the harmonies shadowy and sunlit at the same time.
Earlier in the day, I had been bemoaning, though only to myself, the lack of weirdos at this year's Coachella, the kind of performers who, once they arrive and claim their contorted stake on reality, you wonder how you didn't see it before. Call it the Die Antwoord effect.
'We came to bring the weird a little bit,' Avey Tare said at one point in the set. 'And to have fun.' Done and done, Animal Collective. If you can entertain and weird out the guy who knows Burning Man inside and out, you've successfully planted your freak flag.

KVH Technology Powers
Precision Autonomous Solutions
KVH high-performance fiber optic and photonic technology is the cornerstone of safe, successful autonomous navigation
Blazing the Trail for Successful, Safe Autonomy
Twenty years of autonomous expertise makes KVH one of the world leaders developing and manufacturing advanced gyros and inertial systems for autonomous navigation, positioning, and platform stabilization.
Inertial is Critical for Autonomous
Successful, safe autonomous navigation relies on the fusing of different types of sensors and systems to create multi-sensor solutions, as no single navigation solution is robust or reliable enough to accomplish precision autonomous navigation on its own.
KVH's high-performance gyros and inertial systems are designed for easy integration with other components such as cameras, radar, and Lidar. Unjammable, precise, and reliable, KVH inertial systems fill the gaps when other technologies fail. They improve the navigation solution's performance as a whole.
Innovation Defines KVH
KVH revolutionized marine navigation with the invention of the first commercial digital fluxgate compass in 1982 and then reinvented tactical navigation in 1991 by introducing the TACNAV system for military vehicles.
The recent introduction of KVH's photonic integrated chip (PIC) into fiber optic technology promises to reinvent how high-performance, precision FOG-based gyros, and inertial systems are made.
Renewing an established technology with improved reliability, repeatability, and automated manufacturing, KVH continues its legacy of innovation.
Patents and Proven Results
KVH's commitment to innovation is illustrated by the numerous patents awarded to the company for four decades. Among the most revolutionary is patent 10,274,319 for new photonic integrated chip technology replacing individual fiber optic components with a groundbreaking integrated planar optical chip and improving reliability, manufacturability, and repeatability.
Read more details on KVH's Photonic Integrated Chip Technology
Other company patents include a new method for incorporating optical material into an optical fiber, an apparatus and method for electronic RIN reduction in fiber optic sensors utilizing a filter with group delay, optical fiber composite devices, and a system and method for closed-loop gyroscope stabilization.
Autonomous Expertise
Precision autonomous navigation can't be achieved by any single navigation solution, as none is robust or reliable enough to accomplish this demanding task on its own.
That's why KVH's high-performance gyros and inertial systems are designed for easy integration with other components such as cameras, radar, and Lidar, and GNSS.
Filling the gaps when other systems' fail due to weather, are unavailable, or not accurate enough, KVH's inertial systems are unjammable, precise, and reliable. They improve any navigation solution's performance so that the result is improved accuracy, navigation precision, and dependability.
Extensive Fielded Platforms
Since the 2005 DARPA Grand Challenge self-driving vehicles competition, KVH has been the go-to choice for developers of autonomous platforms. KVH FOG-based inertial navigation solutions are the preferred navigation sensors for vehicles that have driven millions of autonomous miles.
KVH knows well the challenges of autonomy. Its outstanding record of producing high-performance, reliable, and precise gyro and inertial navigation technologies are helping to make advanced autonomous platforms a reality.

From Fitting in to Flying Out (Pop-Up Conversation)
February 13, 2018 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm EST
Do you believe that you will be an employee from graduation until retirement? Do you know what it means to be employed? The changes in the conditions and patterns of employment are shifting so rapidly that it is virtually impossible to plan for your entire work-life.
The speed of automation and robotization indicates that many jobs (blue-collar and white-collar) will disappear. In fact, that is happening now with many jobs reaching their expiration date! Many experts contend that the lifespan of companies is also shifting, leaving employees and clients the need to learn how to continually adapt.
It is time to wake up to this emerging reality and start preparing for a working life that will be a mix between temporary jobs, being an entrepreneur, participating in both the sharing and the gig economy, volunteering, and having no work and using that time to study. Arnold Beekes, will lead an important discussion on his current work, From Fitting in to Flying Out, how to develop a new mindset to resurface critical and often suppressed capabilities like creativity, critical thinking, complex problem solving and collaboration.
Arnold Beekes [Human-Centered Innovation] is a founder/CEO of startups, certified trainer/coach, speaker, author, futurist, and previous leader in Corporate ICT.

Having the audacious goal to be a millionaire by the age of 25 seems like a crazy goal when you are 15 living in a trailer park, but to then accomplish that goal is even crazier. Sean Moudry gained incredible momentum in the real estate industry at a very young age including closing 72 transactions in his first year of brokerage, being admitted into Remax's Hall of Fame his second year, and being a titan investor with over 86 multifamily units and 26 single family homes.
Then, in 2009 the recession hit and Sean, who just years earlier was making over 7 figures a year, lost it all. He owed over $440,000 in debt after being forced to short-sell all of his real estate investments. Instead of declaring bankruptcy and giving up entirely, Sean took it as an opportunity to reinvent himself and truly rise out of failure. However this time, he wasn't interested in building for the money – he wanted to prove that you, and you alone, are in charge of your outcomes of your life.

According to the CDC, approximately 4.5 million dog bites occur in the United States every year. About 900,000 of those bites become infected. Victims of dog bites frequently know the dog that attacked them. The head and neck are the most common site of bites in children up to age 10 years. This is probably because a child's head is close to the level of a large dog's mouth. The arms and legs, particularly the right hand, are the most frequent site of injury for older children and adults. A dog bite can lead to a range of injuries, including scratches, deep open cuts, puncture wounds, crush injuries, and tearing away of a body part. Dog bites rarely cause death. However, it is important to get help at urgent care for dog bites.
After being bitten by any animal, it is important to quickly and carefully clean the wound thoroughly with soap and a large amount of water; this can help to prevent infection. If there is bleeding, a clean towel or gauze should be pressed to the wound to slow or stop the bleeding.
Do I need treatment for dog bites?
Adults or children who have been bitten by a dog should see a healthcare provider if:
●An animal bite has broken through the skin and bleeding does not stop after applying pressure for 15 minutes
●A bone may be broken, or if there is other serious injury
●A bite victim has diabetes, liver disease, cancer, HIV-infection, or takes a medication that could weaken the immune system
It is best to see a doctor as soon as possible after a dog bite. This can help reduce the chance of developing an infection. The most common complication of a dog bite is infection. Antibiotics can help prevent infection in people with high-risk wounds, facial wounds, wounds involving a bone or joint, and for people with other health problems, such as a weak immune system or diabetes, which could increase the risk of serious infection.
Tetanus is a serious, potentially life-threatening infection that can be transmitted by an animal or human bite. Consequently, if you are not up-to-date with your tetanus vaccine, you will need a booster.
If a dog bit you, and it could potentially have rabies, you MUST seek medical attention to determine if you need a series of injections to prevent rabies.
Remember: Rabies is almost always fatal. Therefore, it is important to go urgent care for any dog bite.

I got these 2 dogs from the C.S.P.C.A. Titan is in the first picture he is a black Boxadour. I got him last year 18/03/11. He was approx one year old when I got him, he got too big for his first owners and was a bit too giddy. With a bit of training, which he caught on to fast,he is a calm dog but still great fun. He gets on great with my other 2 dogs but I am still working on the cat! The kids love him he is a great addition to our family.
If I was ever to get a dog in the future I would get one from the C.S.P.C.A.

Researchers at the Swedish Umea University revealed that semiconducting polymers, placed on a layer of graphene, transport electrical charges more efficiently than when the same polymer is placed on a silicon substrate.
The researchers say that graphene enhances the charge transport through the polymer film, making it potentially useful for producing more efficient electronic devices like organic solar cells, OLEDs and more.
The scientists in this study used synchotron X-ray diffraction to learn how crystals are formed in a thin film of semiconducting polymers atop a layer of graphene. The results showed a much enhanced vertical charge transport compared to films on silicon. Another interesting result was that that the charge carrier mobility of a thicker polymer film (50 nanometers) was about 50 times higher than that of an ultra thin one (10 nanometers) deposited on graphene. The scientists state that the results of this study can assist in making efficient graphene-based organic devices by control of the crystallinity of the semiconducting film.

When President Bush named North Korea as a member of the "Axis of Evil" in early 2002, many critics saw it as a dangerous sign of counterproductive foreign policy. It was called a strategic blunder, the only fathomable effect of which would be to instigate the sensitive regime of Kim Jong Il. Last week, North Korea said it successfully detonated a nuclear weapon, and the escalation that allowed for it has been blamed in no small part on the president's offensive epithet. It is therefore worth examining exactly how the president's policies and rhetoric might have pushed North Korea to the brink.
Criticisms of President Bush's attitude usually go something like this: Before he became president and began aiming hostile oratory at North Korea, the latter's nuclear program had been consigned to the past. The Agreed Framework of 1994, in which North Korea agreed to suspend its illegal nuclear program in exchange for domestic energy assistance and partial normalization of relations, was in place. More negotiations were potentially on the horizon. When President Bush was elected, however, he evinced no desire to seek cordial relations, instead choosing to criticize the Kim regime and conflate it with the enemies of modern civilization. As a result, Kim lost hope in the possibility of attaining leverage in the future and decided to relaunch a secret nuclear program later in 2002.
On its surface, the case looks bleak for Bush. It is made even worse when one notes that by 2002, the construction of two light-water reactors in North Korea — a construction promised by the United States in the Agreed Framework — was years behind schedule. In a nutshell, then, George Bush antagonized the North and neglected the paramount agreement it had signed. U.S.-North Korean relations spiraled into years of suspicion and iciness, during which the North developed its nuclear programs as American antagonism repeatedly impeded negotiations. The president's view of a black-and-white world had fomented danger.
But not so fast. First of all, it was North Korea who violated the spirit of the Agreed Framework, not the United States. Though the sluggishness of the reactor production was an unfortunate setback for the North, it was prompted by Kim's own provocative actions, and it was a minor problem when one considers that the United States was largely upholding its end of the Framework bargain. Furthermore, North Korea exposed its backward way of thinking by responding in the way it did: by implementing a secret uranium-enrichment program. It's not as if North Korea's response was simply an innocent way of making up for the power lost as a result of the light-water reactor delay. It was merely returning to its status quo of breaking international law and seeking to profit from it.
Another strike against North Korea is that it is unknown for how long the secret uranium-enrichment program had been in place. It's unlikely that potential U.S. non-compliance with the Agreed Framework even influenced Kim's decision to conduct the program. Blaming the United States for destroying the Framework was merely a facade, a purely ostensible excuse meant to legitimize the uranium program when it was finally revealed. This became even clearer when, after the program was uncovered, North Korea asserted its right to self-defense through nuclear weapons, a right it had curiously renounced in writing in 1994.
Given these circumstances, can't we still blame George W. Bush for his aggressive labeling? This line of thinking leads to a perverse standard of diplomacy. There is a paradox in assuming that North Korea would respond amicably if it received only respectful, reasoned overtures. If we label North Korea "evil" because of its intentions, and as a result it fulfills our prophecy and breaks the law, why should we try to avert this fate by speaking falsely and giving it credit where it deserves none? Kim's needs and desires eclipse what can be provided by international agreements. Actually obeying these agreements would bring Kim economic benefit, but he would invariably cede international influence and maybe even domestic political power. Given his reluctance to do this, a more forceful impetus will be necessary — a reality many of us want to deny. Kim understands this situation, which is precisely why he has been unceasingly hostile and unreasonable, coaxing the world into holding him to a lower standard of legality. His father understood it, which is why he started a secret nuclear program in 1962 and used it in 1994 to squeeze resources out of countries that played by the rules. And George W. Bush understood it, which is why he was so hard-hitting in his diction from the beginning. We would do well to consider, in weighing how to cope with the latest phase of this nuclear crisis, that a power-hungry autocracy, by any name we choose to call it, is just as evil.

This personal loan calculator figures your monthly payment and total interest cost...show more instructions
Save hundreds---even thousands---by using a personal loan instead of a credit card for large purchases or to consolidate existing debt. Check your rate instantly with Lendingtree.
How Much Will Your Personal Loan Cost You?
Before you take out a personal loan, it's important to calculate the costs.
What will your monthly payment be? How much interest will you pay?
This Personal Loan Calculator helps you answer these questions. All you do is input the four required variables – the loan amount or purchase price, down payment, annual interest rate, and the number of monthly payments – and the calculator does the rest by making the complicated math easy for you.
Below are helpful tips about personal loans so you can decide if one is right for your situation.
Personal Loans 101
A personal loan is an unsecured loan, which means that the borrower does not have to put up any security or collateral to guarantee the repayment of the loan.
Personal loans are commonly used for a number of different purposes including:
- Education
- Vacations
- Vehicles
- Weddings
- Debt Consolidation
- Home Improvement
You can use a personal loan for just about any need you have.
Personal loans can be easy to get but usually come with high interest rates. Before you apply for a personal loan, ask yourself if you really need the money and if you'll be able to pay back the debt.
This Personal Loan Calculator can give you much of the information you need to make the best possible choice for your situation.
Tip: Try adjusting your down payment to see how it affects your monthly payment and total interest cost. What if you used some of your savings as a down payment instead of borrowing the full amount you need? How much money would you save?

When Should You Use Personal Loans?
Personal loans are helpful during times of financial stress when you don't have an emergency fund. They usually don't require guarantors and the approval process is fast – but remember, the price you pay for this convenience is a high interest rate.
Interest rates for personal loans can rise up to 15-25% per year. However, this can be better than credit card interest rates. This is one of the reasons why personal loans are often used to pay off credit card debt.
When Should You NOT Use Personal Loans?
The problem with a personal loan is the high interest rate.
For this reason, you should pursue alternative lending sources that result in lower financing costs before taking out a personal loan.
For example, mortgage financing secured by your principle residence is usually more affordable than a personal loan. Similarly, auto financing secured by the title on your vehicle is usually a better deal than an unsecured personal loan.
Since personal loans usually are taken in response to financial emergencies, it is better to plan ahead and build an emergency fund for these "unexpected" events rather than incur the high costs of paying later at very high interest rates.
However, if you're already past that point and in financial stress right now then at least make sure you shop aggressively for your personal loan to get the best deal.
Another tip for personal loans is to never use them to fund discretionary purchases. After all, what is the point in having a luxurious gadget if you cannot enjoy it without worrying about how you'll repay the debt? Stated simply, if you cannot pay cash for your luxuries, it simply means that you cannot afford them. In this situation, a personal loan is no solution.
Final Thoughts
Let's summarize some of the key points regarding personal loans:
- Personal loans are usually issued for a fixed amount – You can borrow anywhere from $500 to $100,000 depending on needs and lender terms.
- Personal loans usually have fixed interest rates – No need to worry about variable rates that can affect your ability to pay.
- Personal loans have a fixed repayment period – Loan periods are typically stated in months.
- Personal loans are unsecured – You won't have to put up collateral in order to borrow.
Keeping these qualities in mind, use the Personal Loan Calculator to wrestle with your personal loan options and make a smart decision for you and your family.

Back to white
Oh what a night - not sure what was wrong, but I didn't sleep all that well last night.. I was sort of awake from around half two, so decided at 5.30am to get the laptop and talk to my Sis in Canada.. she was just off to bed, so all I can do now is upload a card.. ha ha.
So. What have I got for you today? A clean and simple, one layered embossed card. Is that okay?
This is the theme for this weeks challenge over at the Simply Less is More blog (I love that blog!) and I love the challenge of keeping things nice, simple, fresh and clean-looking. I opted for dry embossing with a brass stencil, but you could go for heat embossing if you'd prefer.
Here you go.. my card for today.
The daisies on my card have always been a firm favourite with me since Docrafts bought out their brass stencils years ago. They always emboss so well, and I love the fact that there are different sizes. I started off by drawing two lines on the back of the card with pencil, and embossing random daisies along the centre and also upto the lines, making sure I didn't go over the edges. I then put the card onto my XCUT score board and embossed two lines, top and bottom.
I finished the card off with the Tiny Tags from Stampin' Up {I haven't used these for aaaaages!!} and a little bow. I even broke out the silver peel offs to add a border to the embossed edge.
I hope you like it.. I do have another to show you tomorrow.. as I couldn't decide between the two designs. So check back soon. xx

The fountain of youth isn't so far off.
Scientists have discovered a revolutionary molecule that could be crucial to the health and survival of Mars astronauts – and crucial to helping us look young forever.
Our cells have the ability to repair themselves, but that declines with age – and scientists finally discovered why. The breakthrough comes after six years of DNA research from scientists at Harvard Medical School and University of New South Wales. Their findings were published Friday in Science.
Researchers found that DBC1, one of the human body's most abundant proteins, binds itself to the protein that are in charge of mending damaged cells, screwing up the healing process.
Then the team found a molecule called NAD, which stops DBCI – and other proteins – from getting in the way of cell repair. The older we get, the less NAD+ molecules we have.
In trials, researchers had mice drink water with a NAD+-boosting enzyme. "The cells of the old mice were indistinguishable from the young mice after just one week of treatment," David Sinclair, lead author of the study, said in a statement. Not to mention the treated mice showed improved kidney function, regrown fur and the ability to run twice as fast as their untreated mouse friends.
NASA has already expressed interest in the miracle drug for their Mars astronauts, since radiation on the red planet almost guarantees they'll develop cancer. It could also be used to help childhood cancer survivors, 96 percent of whom develop a chronic illness by 45 – a sign of accelerated aging.
"This is the closest we are to a safe and effective anti-aging drug that's perhaps only three to five years away from being on the market if trials go well," Sinclair said.
Human trials of the treatment are set to begin within six months.

Egyptian Government Must Live Up To Its Human Rights Commitments in Geneva
Freedom House calls upon the Egyptian government to live up to its human rights commitments by revoking the emergency law and holding transparent elections with local and international observers present for the entire electoral process.
|Tuesday, February 16,2010 12:08
"Egypt could be a leader of democratic reform in the Middle East, but its poor human rights record raises alarms," said Paula Schriefer, advocacy director at Freedom House. She continued, "the Egyptian government's plan to keep emergency law in place only prolongs its ability to use it as a justification for violating citizens' rights to freedom of expression and association."
Egypt's official report to the UN, which was submitted to UNHRC last November, was somewhat encouraging because it mentioned many human rights grievances inside the country. However, the Egyptian government's response ahead of the review session next week was disappointing. Dr. Mofid Shehab, the Minister of Legal Affairs and Parliamentary Councils, announced in a press conference yesterday that the Egyptian Government will "have to" extend emergency status, despite previous promises to abolish it, and that the Government will not allow international election monitors to fully observe the election process, which goes against international standards.

My Tribe is a cute and adventurous game that revolves around a tribe of people who inhabited a splendid city where there was complete peace and prosperity. However, these people had an adventurous spirit, and so they set out in search for faraway lands across vast oceans. One day a crew from this tribe set off to discover something, but luck was not in their favor and they hit a deadly storm that wrecked their ship onto an unknown island. Do you have what it takes to take the role of a leader and lead these people to find a home for themselves on this island?
The island that you have been stranded on has a lot of mysteries and potential for a civilization. Your task is to help your tribe set up their homes here by helping them find the necessities that they are looking for and assign them various quests and tasks that they will have to accomplish. Some of the task will be searching for basic necessities like food and water, after that you will have to look for wood in order to make a fire, look for materials needed to build comfortable homes and things like that. As and how your villagers work, they can turn some of the tasks that they do well into a specialty and then live to a ripe old age.
You will have to explore the island and collect various items like moon dust and star dust besides looking for various stray boxes that are drawn to the island. However, you must be careful before you approach these boxes as they can sometimes be dangerous. The best thing about My Tribe is that the game keeps going ahead even when you have logged off from the game. You can also choose various layouts in the game that can be associated with the game.

The week of 18-22 October saw a building company threateniang Baku citizens, an economic growth and welfare analysis and Azerbaijan-Iran tensions rising on the border.
Construction company Donush1-LLC threatening citizens; potential involvement of MP
Residents of Gurban Abbasov Street in Bayil settlement are
complaining they are receiving threats from the building company Donush-1 LLC
, who plans to build a high-rise residential building in the area.
The threats are carried out by the company's employees, who tell the residents they will cut off electricity, gas, water, and be faced with eviction. There are also tractors and bulldozers working day and night to induce collapses of the houses. In a few cases, compensation is offered, but the amount offered is too low and does not even cover the losses.
It is not known who owns Donush 1 LLC. Several names are mentioned in the local press, including of MP Ulvi Guliyev. Meydan TV was not able to reach him for comment.
Economic growth must support social policies, specialists say
Official figures say the Azerbaijani economy is growing, but there are likely no positive effects on social policies in general.
The economic growth will not be reflected in the welfare of the population,
since monthly wages barely grew and, at the same time, there was a high increase in inflation and poverty rates. Likewise, COVID-19 global economic consequences will raise the prices of goods, especially food.
Economist Gubad Ibadoglu believes that the minimum wage and other social benefits must be raised, otherwise,
there will be serious social tensions and the possibility of social protests
. Assistances of this kind were last reviewed in 2019.
Azerbaijan-Iran: trucks banned and detained at the border
Tensions between Azerbaijan and Iran can now be sensed on the roads.
Iran banned trucks from private companies from traveling to Nagorno-Karabakh and Lachin
, as the road they travel will over 20 km on Azerbaijaini territory. Since September, the State Customs Committee of Azerbaijan began to collect fees from drivers of Iranian cars for crossing the country. The ban was a reaction to this regulation.
Besides that,
Iran claims trucks are detained in Astara (Iran) while the Azerbaijani Customs Committee denies the allegations
. According to the Committee, a computer system crash on the Iranian side of the border failed to ensure the passage of trucks, as well as registering loading and unloading activities in Astara. This resulted in long queues that led to overcrowding and great delays.
