Among the common types of people that work are those that are content with the work they are doing, those that want to climb up the ladder, and those that are a combination of both. Susan McGalla happens to be the combination of both. While she was always content doing the work that she was doing, she has always wanted to climb the ladder and make a successful name for herself. It has shown in the type of work that she has done. She did not believe that just because she was a woman, she had to just barely skate by and accept nothing but low level positions.
One thing that is common in any industry are people that do just what it takes to barely get by. Some people are content with that. However, they are also vulnerable to a lot of problems in the case that their work runs out. As a result, they have to act fast in order to get the type of job they need. At least when one climbs up the ladder, she will get the extra room for failure. Susan McGalla has chosen to move forward with her career choices. She has looked for the types of companies that she is passionate about and has decided that she wanted to hold a specific position. As a bonus, she had more room being a higher level worker.
Susan McGalla has shown that she does have the drive and the ambition. This is not because she just worked hard. She has also done a lot of research on what it would take to run a successful business. She has felt that she could be a leader. One of the reasons that she is a good leader is that she is always an example of what to do. She does not just bark orders. Susan also understands the importance of working smart and having a way to enjoy all of the results of her efforts. As a result, she has learned how to generate passive income for her efforts. This is one of the ways that she has achieved financial independence.

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is rapidly becoming an integral part of our everyday lives. The system, created by the United States Department of Defense in 1973, has gone through many changes since its introduction to the public in 1995. GPS uses the concept of trilateration to provide your location, but relies on Differential GPS and atomic clocks to vastly improve the accuracy. With such precision, GPS is being used in myriad applications including personal navigation and military missile guidance systems. And as this technology continues to decrease in price, GPS will likely be used in increasingly more exciting applications such as digital file security. First, though, the U.S Government must address the issue of privacy as it pertains to GPS.
We've all been there: you are cruising down the street, desperately trying to peer out your window and read the street numbers. Did you make a wrong turn? Soon, you come to a realization that you have been dreading: you're lost. In the past, this was a very common occurrence. But since the advent of the Global Positioning System (GPS), an increasing number of people are able to easily navigate to their desired destination. GPS technology allows users to pinpoint their exact location through a small GPS receiver. Today, GPS receivers are found in cars, boats, planes, laptop computers, tractors, and countless other applications.
In order to fully appreciate the importance of this technology, it is important to understand how GPS works, its current applications, potential problems associated with GPS, and expected future applications. First, however, one must understand the motivations behind the creation of GPS.
GDK/Wikimedia Commons
In 1973, the idea of a Global Positioning System, initially dubbed NAVSTAR, was developed by the United States Department of Defense. Originally, the technology was intended solely for military personnel and transportation units to obtain their location [1]. Five years later, in 1978, the first four GPS satellites were launched into space by the U.S. Department of Defense. GPS did not reach full operational capacity until July 17, 1995, because a minimum of 24 satellites are needed to provide full coverage.
Before the commercial release of GPS, the Department of Defense announced that two different GPS services would be developed: Standard Positioning Service (SPS) and Precise Positioning Service (PPS). SPS, eventually activated eight years later, was to be released to the public while PPS was to be reserved for use by the U.S military. The essential difference between SPS and PPS was that a deliberate random error was used in SPS to prevent civilians from obtaining exact coordinates through a technique called Selective Availability (SA) [2]. SA degraded the signal by roughly 100 meters by slightly altering the satellites' clocks [3]. The DOD felt that this change was necessary to protect the security interests of the U.S. and its allies by denying the full capabilities of GPS to potential enemies.
President Bill Clinton ended the SA service on May 1, 2000. He explained that "worldwide transportation safety, scientific, and commercial interests could best be served by discontinuation of SA" [4]. Because they are still able to selectively deny GPS signals regionally in the case of threatened national security, the DOD felt that SA could be eliminated without making the U.S or its allies vulnerable. While SPS is still not as precise as PPS, the termination of SA increased its accuracy fivefold.
How It Works
To understand how GPS can display your location on your PDA, it is necessary to examine four key areas: the concept of trilateration, how distance is measured, atomic clocks, and how error is diminished through differential GPS.
Trilateration is the basic concept that drives GPS. Each of the 29 satellites in the GPS network circles the earth twice daily. The total of 29 (24 operational, 5 backups) was reached because, with this number, it was determined that at minimum four satellites are visible from any point on Earth [5]. The following discussion demonstrates the necessity of always having four satellites visible at any time.
A single satellite essentially relays one critical piece of data: the distance between itself and the inquiring device. Let us call your distance from the satellite D. The circular area around that point represents everywhere on the surface of the earth a distance D from the satellite (Fig. 1).
Obviously, this alone is not very helpful. To better understand this concept, imagine telling someone that you are 150 miles from Las Vegas. All this means is that your location can be found at any point within a 150 mile radius from the center point of Las Vegas.
Choosing a second point and determining the distance from that city greatly narrows the possibilities. If you tell your friend that you are also 150 miles from Los Angeles, you can be one of the two places, where the circles overlap over each other (Fig. 2).
Giving your friend yet another distance from a new location will pinpoint your location. If you tell your friend that you are 100 miles from Fresno, the circle with a radius of 100 miles and center point of Fresno will intersect with one of the two intersection points created by the circles surrounding Las Vegas and Los Angeles. The intersection of the three circles is your location: Telescope Peak in the Death Valley National Park (Fig. 3).
If the Earth were either flat or a perfect sphere, perhaps this would be enough information. Our terrain, along with the fact that the inquiring device may not be on the surface of the Earth (e.g. in an airplane), requires that a fourth distance is given in order to obtain elevation. This distance is calculated in the same way as the other three distances. In order to imagine the addition of a fourth distance, we must envision the above figures as featuring spheres rather than circles. Adding a fourth sphere to the above example would then give the precise three-dimensional location: 11,049 feet above sea level at Telescope Peak in the Death Valley National Park (Fig. 4).
Measuring Distance
With the preceding discussion in mind, it is clear that the critical task of GPS is to determine an exact distance between a satellite and receiver. To understand how this is done, we need to look at the interaction between one satellite and one GPS receiver. The satellite constantly streams a "digital radio signal which includes its own position and the time" [1]. The receiver then decodes this information and subtracts its own time from the time sent by the satellite. From this, the receiver is able to compute the distance between the two by solving for x in the following equation:
186,000 miles/1 hour = x/calculated time(1)From this, it is apparent that increasing the accuracy of the time difference will increase the accuracy of the distance.
The most accurate clock in the world is the atomic clock. Measuring to a billionth of a second, an atomic clock can give the most precise time, which is very useful with GPS. Atomic clocks keep time by using the regular oscillations (or vibrations) of atoms as a metronome [1]. In order to get the most precise value, both the satellites and GPS receivers would need to have atomic clocks. Atomic clocks, though, are quite expensive; they range from $50,000 to $100,000 [5]. Because of this, only the satellites are equipped with atomic clocks. This is a good compromise, as there are a small number of satellites compared to the large number of GPS receivers. Currently, receivers utilize simple quartz clocks similar to those found in a wristwatch [1]. Less accurate atomic clocks that are 1,000 times more accurate than quartz clocks have recently been developed. GPS receivers will likely employ the use of these clocks in the near future as they become less expensive [6]. The current configuration inevitably leads to error because the quartz clock is over 300,000 times less accurate than the atomic clock [7].
Differential GPS
Differential GPS (DGPS) is a technique used to increase the accuracy of a receiver's location. DGPS was originally created to help overcome the error caused by Selective Availability (as discussed earlier) in the receiver's measurement. Although SA has ended, DGPS is still used because its purpose of diminishing error is still useful. It works by using stationary GPS receivers at known locations all around the world. These GPS receivers continually calculate their own position based on information received by the satellites and then compare this position with their actual location. The difference between the two then allows these receivers to compute the error. This information is then passed along to DGPS enabled devices. Using this information, your GPS receiver (if able to accept the DGPS corrections) can adjust its own calculation based on the current error of the region to increase its accuracy. A GPS receiver receives data from the satellites as well as signal correction data from local GPS stations. GPS receivers that are able to accept DGPS corrections are most commonly found in planes, but they are slowly becoming more common as prices continue to drop.
Current Applications
GPS technology is currently being used by the military as well as transportation, science, and agriculture. Since a discussion about every use of GPS would be excessive, we will simply focus on a few. We will discuss personal navigation, which is currently the most common application. Next, we will look at how farmers are utilizing GPS to streamline production. This application will provide the framework to understand how GPS can be used in automation, which is becoming increasingly important. First, though, it is key to understand the application for which GPS was developed: military use.
Since GPS was designed by the United States Department of Defense, it is comes as no surprise that the predominant use of GPS is in the military. Along with having GPS receivers in many vehicles, the military has found that GPS can aid in aerial strikes. Missiles such as the Tomahawk cruise missile are equipped with a GPS receiver. If the precise location of the target is obtained, it can be loaded into the software [8]. Then the missile with the embedded GPS receiver is launched towards the target. The receiver continually calculates its distance from the target, which is then used by other software on the missile to adjust its trajectory mid-flight [8]. This results in increased precision and decreased collateral damage.
Because of the decreasing costs of GPS receivers, the general public is increasingly utilizing GPS technology. The most common application is personal navigation. Typically, the GPS receiver is installed in a vehicle or on a computer and the data is used by a software program to show the current location on a map. From there, the software can map to a destination, track progress, show current speed, and provide countless other useful functions [9]. Airplanes use GPS in a similar fashion.
Farmers have also found a creative use for this technology. By installing a computer and GPS receiver on a tractor, a field can be autonomously tilled, sprayed, harvested, or planted. When the tractor is first programmed, the GPS receiver continuously calculates and records its position. Once the operator of the tractor completes the desired route, the route is saved by the software [10]. Then on each subsequent trip, the GPS receiver on the now unmanned tractor calculates its position and sends it to the software, which then relays directions to the tractor.
Potential Problems
Of course, with the many benefits that it provides, GPS also has its share of problems. Given that GPS lends itself to myriad uses, some of those uses are bound to be problematic. Moreover, the lack of laws governing GPS use is likely to cause trouble. Lastly, the lifespan of GPS satellites is short enough to cause concern for the system's future. Unfortunately, GPS can be used for immoral purposes (a debate about the morality of military applications is beyond the scope of this paper). GPS is being used by some to stalk unknowing victims. By simply hiding a GPS receiver on a vehicle, a stalker can record the vehicle's whereabouts [11]. This is not only a problem because it is so simply performed, but also because legislation regarding questionable uses of GPS to invade others' privacy has not kept pace with the developing technology.
At present, there are no laws governing the data received from GPS receivers. There are laws that protect one's general privacy, but there is nothing that specifically addresses the GPS issue [12]. This will become an increasingly important issue as GPS receivers continue to decrease in price. It is becoming quite easy, as discussed in the previous section, to track people unknowingly, so legislation is needed to remedy this problem.
One other concern that has been raised recently involves the lifespan of GPS satellites possibly adversely affecting the future of GPS. On average, the GPS satellites have an expected lifespan of roughly seven and a half years, but many are still in use after more than 10 years. While some see this as a problem, the author of "Grim outlook for GPS?" in The GPS Repository does not [13]. There are four types of GPS satellites (Block 1, Block 2/2A, Block 2R and Block 2F) and the author divulges that the lifespans of the newest satellites (Block 2R and Block 2F) are far superior to the lifespans of the older satellites.
Future Applications
GPS technology has seemingly endless possibilities, and we will cover two of the most exciting potential applications. The first is the concept of an electronic fence, which would be used to enclose digital data. The idea is similar to the "invisible fence" that defines the area of a yard in which a dog may roam by inducing a mild shock through a collar when the dog gets near the boundary. The vision is that companies or other entities that are concerned about their data would be able to ensure that their documents could not leave their physical boundaries [14]. For instance, a confidential document could be encoded so that it would only be accessible within the coordinates of Company X.
The second potential application is the concept of email delivery based on one's physical location [14]. This means that an email could be addressed to any and all Company X delivery trucks within a given radius of an address. Of course, both of these applications are dependent upon more widespread GPS use, but with the decreasing costs of GPS receivers these applications are unlikely to be cost prohibitive.

House Speaker DeLeo Letter - Summer 2016
Dear House Speaker DeLeo,
I was interested to read in the recent Boston Globe article that you are looking for ways to address our education crisis by exploring the early childhood realm more fully. I applaud your efforts and encourage you to really look closely at what is happening in early childhood programs across the state. Creating a task force of early childhood educators, child development specialists, researchers, theorists and practitioners would go a long way in informing your decision-making as you go through the planning stages.
As you noted in your statements to the reporter, the first five years are critical in brain development and in developing a capacity for lifelong learning. Children need and deserve quality early childhood programs and parents need help affording the cost of early care and education. What does quality look like, though? You are going to hear a great deal about quality in the coming months, as you begin to tease out what you want and how you are going to get it. I would like to invite you to Acton to see our innovative childcare program--- a model for best practices in infant, toddler, and preschool education.
The Infant Toddler Children's Center (ITC) is a not-for-profit, full year care and education program for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and after-school care for kindergarten through 3rd grade. ITC was started in 1981 by an educator, Faith LeBaron, and a nurse, Leslie Hill, in two tiny rented rooms in a local church. We grew over the years, eventually building our own state of the art facility where we took up residency in January of 1997. We've never forgotten our roots, however, and continue to hone our care and education practices based on research, hands-on experiences, and keeping informed of the work of theorists and practitioners alike. We have 10 lively classrooms, a space for gross-motor play and development, 4 developmentally appropriate play yards, and our own nature trail. Our commitment to play-based, child-centered practices is well-known in the communities we serve and among early childhood professionals in eastern Massachusetts, who frequently travel great distances to participate in our annual teacher conference and our seasonal workshop series.
ITC embraces early education and care as a serious profession---there isn't more important work, in our mind. Come meet our teachers, observe our classrooms in action and see what is possible in early education settings when commitment, community support (we have a very strong board and a dedicated parent population), and tried and true pedagogy underscore clear mission and vision. We are so pleased that you are truly ready to make early education a priority and we urge you to investigate what is currently happening in high quality programs like ours. We're out here, doing the work you're looking for. Come see for yourself!
Cindy Heaney

Some companies will indicate that they want you to submit a CV rather than a resume. A CV and a resume are not the same. CV stands for "curriculum vitae" and is meant to be an expansion of your resume. It is much longer than a resume, often three pages or more, and focuses mainly on your academic and professional accomplishments, with a particular focus on education.
When you're working on your brain dump, make sure to include the name of the company, its location, dates of employment, and several bullet points describing your role and responsibilities for each position you list. Although you may need to expand on the bullet points later on, you'll need this information at the minimum.

Get ready for Round 2 on Gitmo.
Though President Obama failed in his high profile attempts to close the detention facilities at Guantanamo Bay during his first term -- let alone within his first year per White House executive order, his Democratic allies in the Senate are raising the issue once again.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, Chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee has stirred up the latest Gitmo closure rumors by ordering a Government Accountability Office report identifying all U.S. mainland detention facilities that might be suitable to taking in its 166 detainees.
The senior California Senator seemed to be a Gitmo supporter at the outset, noting on a Jan. 2002 visit with Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld that its tropical breezes "sure beat lockdown at Folsom," the notorious prison a couple hours drive from her native San Francisco. However in the years to follow, Feinstein became one of the chief proponents of closing Gitmo, introducing legislation in 2007 to shutter its doors, prompting fanciful discussions in the halls of Congress and the Pentagon about moving detainees to Alcatraz.
The latest trial balloon floated by Democrats has about as much chance of resulting in Gitmo's closure anytime soon as sending some of Al Qaeda's finest to Alcatraz did then.
Why's that?
First, though the GAO report identified 6 military facilities and 98 Justice Dept. facilities that could house detainees, there would have to be potentially billions of dollars spent on things like security upgrades, prison modifications, guard force training, and shuffling around military and/or civilian prisoners for a variety of laws and prison regulations.
And more importantly, Congress has already outlawed transferring Gitmo detainees to the U.S. mainland, in large part to avoid scenarios where a myriad of judges could set them free on Main Street U.S.A. With a House of Representatives still dominated by Republicans, overturning such laws seems highly unlikely.
Feinstein's point of all this however, is predictably political. The first quote of her press release issued on Wednesday says it all "This report demonstrates that if the political will exists, we could finally close Guantanamo without imperiling our national security."
Like just about everything in Congress, it's more complicated than meets the eye.
Though ordered years ago, Feinstein's GAO report has arrived just in time for the Senate to debate the Defense Department's authorization bill for next year. As Democrats have been unhappy with their hands tied on closing Gitmo through past authorization bills, their timing is perfect for conveniently newsworthy excuses on reasons to cut military spending. The report cites Gitmo's cost at over $114 million a year, thus making an easy target for showing why defense budgets need trimming.
And wow, are the Democrats ever looking for reasons to cut defense spending these days.
With $480 billion in cuts already programmed from President Obama's first term, plus the White House-Congressionally mandated "sequestration" that kicks in automatically on Jan. 2nd for an additional roughly $500 billion - a grand total of $1 trillion will be slashed from the military and defense industry over the next decade. Should those budget reductions go through as planned, we'll see the smallest and weakest military we've had since the 1970's. Horses and bayonets notwithstanding.
Significant defense cuts are familiar territory for Democrats, especially of the Northern California variety. Literally. San Francisco used to host a hub of military bases, now it's a virtual military ghost town. Should sequestration go through, we can expect a lot more places around the country to follow suit.
But back to the timing of GAO report. Putting this backburner issue in the public spotlight this week seems to be an awfully convenient way of distracting from more newsworthy controversies – like Benghazi, for instance.
And speaking of Benghazi, with the worst intelligence community failure in exactly 11 years in not anticipating the terrorist attack, then botching the public explanation dragging down U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice's shot at Secretary of State, doesn't Ms. Feinstein have more pressing things to do right now than worry about 166 Al Qaeda-linked detainees and if they'd be more comfortable in Gitmo, Kansas or Colorado?
I'd be more comfortable if her priorities were on asking the hard questions on where the next Benghazi-style attack might happen so we can prevent it. I'm sure we'd all be better off.

Always Greener, a new musical which seeks to re-define and re-imagine the disability experience, seeks a Composer / Lyricist.
We are a strong, passionate, and earnest team of artists comprising people with and without disabilities. Together, we are creating Always Greener, a musical that foregrounds abilities of people with disabilities, and uses adaptive and inclusive casting, design, and direction. Our musical will entertain and increase solidarity and inclusion.
We have been working together on this project with Tellin' Tales Theatre for the last two years and are excited to continue the script development process. Currently, we have an outline of the story that we are very excited about and are in search of a composer to collaborate with our head book writers Tekki Lomnicki and Erin Austin.
We are specifically seeking a composer with a disability, or from the disability community, broadly defined.
While payment is available, we are seeking individuals who truly believe in the mission of this work and are prepared to make a bold commitment toward this end. This is a collaboration, not a work-for-hire.
If you are interested, please send us a brief note about why, along with a music sample.
We look forward to hearing from you,
The Always Greener Team
(Tekki Lomnicki, Erin Austin, Jacob Watson, Thrisa Hodits, Carol Jungman, Judy Bergh, Molly Wiesman, and Megan Elk)
Imagine a community that is perfectly suited to the physical and emotional needs of its citizens. Now imagine that world is a place that was created to house people with disabilities. Now imagine that world was created and protected by people who had disabilities themselves. This is Greenfields, an idyllic gated community that is completely accessible. Here, there is no discrimination. The streets are clean. Everyone is satisfied...except Terri.
Terri is a woman, who in our world might be considered disabled. But in Greenfields, a fully accessible place for all, she's just another 30-something year old gym teacher who longs for something more beyond her gated community, her arranged romantic partnership, and her carefully arranged life.
But leaving is no easy task. The outside world is inaccessible and when she finally leaves, she enters a world that is not so different than the one we live in. It's not very accommodating. Obstacles bombard Terri, but she somehow she finds her way.
Always Greener is about growing up, once you are already grown. It's about taking chances, finding love, embracing our fears, and challenging our individual and collective mindsets.

Today as we drove home from a soccer game, M3 thought about one of his friends and said from his booster seat, "Mommy, will you text him and see if he can play?" This simple question caused us to pause and reflect: two years ago today we won the technology jackpot when we became Family #39 in Panasonic's Living in HD program.
An Open Letter to Panasonic on Our Second Anniversary:
Dear Panasonic,
I never dreamed I would win all of this equipment. I certainly never imagined that when I did, I would still be as excited and enthusiastic about it two years later. I never dreamed Panasonic would be responsible for shifting the thinking of myself, my wife and my family about the role of technology in our lives opening us up to seemingly endless possibilities.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for choosing us to be in the Living in HD program. This amazing program continually grows and changes. I know it was designed to do this, but I don't know if anyone could foresee the long- term impact it would have on us: the participants. This technology is more than just a great prize, it is a conduit for us to connect with people and share our experiences. This year was the year of sharing our technology with others.
As a family, we love our technology. Every pizza night, our amazing plasma tv, Blu-Ray player and surround sound system provide a viewing experience unmatched by even our local theaters. As the most used computer in the house, our Toughbook is proving to be as tough and reliable as promised. Our digital cameras and HD video cameras accompany us on all of our wacky adventures.
This technology allows us to record and share our evperiences with others. In the past year, we have taken over 9,000 photographs, 19 hours of video, have created 8 animoto slideshows, 1 DVD bithday invite, 80 blog posts, several thousand tweets and facebook posts, shared photos and videos on Facebook and YouTube with friends all over the world, and have participated in Panasonic's photo contests online.
Since last October, we have developed deeper friendships with other Panasonic LiHD members- people we would never have met if we hadn't been selected. We have eaten with them, laughed together, worried about and comforted each other. We share pictures and video, and have spent vacation time together. These people are now our friends and we are planning ways to connect with them in real life to go beyond our digital connection.
At our annual Christmas party for charity last year, Panasonic surprised us by sending a full HD 3D truck to our house to get the reactions of our guests who got to experience full 3DHD, and give their input on it. Thanks to Panasonic, all of our guests got to experience something truly unique and got to join us in Living in HD.
In Januay of 2009, my wife met the woman who is now her boss throughPanasonic. In October of last year she started her job with MomCentral as "Chief Mom Connector" and she is excellent at it. Because of her experience with our Panasonic equipment and all of the wonderful people she met since we joined the progam, she has embraced technology and used it to forge relationships with people all over the world. As a result of her being excellent at her job, our family has been provided with opportunities we didn't even know existed two years ago.
As we learn more about social media and marketing, I am amazed Panasonic even started this program. I am surprised we were ever chosen. We had no blog, no ties to any major advertising agencies, just our regular circle of friends. I was just a guy who wanted a really nice tv and saw that Panasonic was giving away all of this cool stuff. I never thought we would win. We, like many of the other families, were not "inluencers" just normal families who were given a phenomenal opportunity through technology to live in HD.
Now these families are a group of people with a common story- one that affects our lives in ways we never imagined. We are evangelists for Panasonic. We all got outstanding equipment and we influence the development of the products people buy today. We are creative and connected, but most of all, we are a community who care about each other because we share with each other. We are truly LIVING in HD.
Technology opened doors for us. Technology removed miles between us. Technology brings us together and lets us share who we are with each other.
Thank you, Panasonic for great equipment and the opportunity to Live in HD. Thank you for opening us to possibilities and adventures beyond our wildest dreams. And thank you for being an integral part of two truly incredible years in the life of the Calandro Clan.
John Calandro on behalf of The Calandro Clan, LiHD family #39

To this day Fjällräven stays true to Åke's vision of offering functional equipment for journeys in the outdoors. Fjällräven develop environmentally friendly fabrics and co-operate with partners to improve the environment and support biodiversity.

Meter Reading with Sensor Networks – Wireless and Economically
During every single counter needs a GSM-modul to read out electronic household meter so far, every meter can be equipped henceforth with a sensor node by the VERISM-Solution of the Veraut GmbH.
These transmit the data wirelessly via Multi-Hop communication to a master node, which again forwards all collected data via power line communication or GSM/GPRS to a central server. Also control commands can be sent to every single reader from the back office.
Adaptable Hard- and Software
Software basis of these smart systems is a power saving protocol, the so-called »Slotted MAC« of the Fraunhofer IIS. The Fraunhofer scientists also optimized the hardware: The sensor node is small in dimension, extremely power efficient and can be adapted to custom-tailored sensor network solutions.
The main features of our combined hardware and software kit are:
- small sensor node platforms and hardware designs
- extremely power efficient protocol for bidirectional multi-hop communication
- self organizing network
- optimized data transfer over the network
This innovative technology was licensed by the Austrian company VERAUT in order to develop their VERSIM product portfolio. The Linz-based company manufactures data loggers and communication equipment for gas, water and heat meter. VERAUT utilizes the Fraunhofer technology in pilot projects for OÖ Ferngas, Linz AG and Wien Energie GmbH.
Features of the VERISM Solution
The battery-powered VERISM – RF module is a wireless, cost efficient Meter Reading solution for reading the meters of household customers via license free 868 MHz RF mesh-network technology, transmitting data via radio frequency (868MHz) to a master node from where it is centralized transmitted via PLC or GSM to the back office.
The main features are:
- VERISM RF modules can be used as stand alone Repeater/Router (battery-powered) whenever point2point connections are not available
- each VERISM module (e.g. integrated in meter) works as a routing point, therefore almost each and every meter is readable remotely (nearly 100% coverage)
- with Fraunhofer IIS licensed »Slotted MAC« power saving protocol, the battery-lifetime can be extended up to 12 years within a mesh-network under normal conditions
- solution allows also for bidirectional communication – so instructions or commands can be transmitted to the meters via the radio nodes
Service That Meets Your Requirements
The innovative for wireless sensor networks of the Fraunhofer IIS is a basis to custom-tailored sensor network solutions for wireless data collection, monitoring, positioning and control.
We will work with you from conception to product launch, utilizing our expertise in radio-frequency circuit design, protocols, and system design for wireless and self-organizing sensor networks.

The Translational Immunology department is interested in developing and studying study novel approaches in data-driven immunology and microbiology research to discover new methods for prognosis, diagnosis, theragnosis, and treatment approaches to cancer. Our research focuses on investigating physiologic antimicrobial mechanisms of innate and adaptive immunity in humans as a model to develop novel approaches against cancer. The department is divided into three main divisions: microbial, breast cancer research and melanoma research. Our research utilizes cellular immunology, microbiome/molecular biology/genomics, and systems biology methods. The mission of this department is to work together to make important advances in our understanding of effective immune responses so that we may develop therapies to encourage improved host defense against infectious diseases and cancer.
We welcome postdoctoral fellows who have a strong interest and/or prior training in immunology or cancer biology. To apply for a postdoctoral fellowship in the laboratory, please send the following information to the attention of Dr. Delphine Lee.

Over the past five years or so a swathe of companies have appealed directly to income starved savers, in launching retail bonds. Juicy yields, some of which have been in excess of 7 per cent, have been on the table.
But in more recent times the income on offer has started to become less generous, perhaps a reflection that the current low-yielding and low-interest world is rumbling on much longer than anyone ever anticipated.
A new retail bond launch by LendInvest, however, has bucked the trend, offering interest of 5.25 per cent, which will be paid to investors twice a year. Not since April 2016 has a retail bond offered a coupon of over 5 per cent.
The bond has a five-year term; as is common with other retail bond issues, small investors are being targeted, with the minimum investment standing at £2,000. The offer, which is currently open, will close at midday on 4 August.
LendInvest (lendinvest.com) lends money to landlords to buy property, mainly in London, on short- to medium-term loans of one to three years, and also for bridging finance products lasting between one and 12 months.
Should I invest?
Investing in bonds requires just as much scrutiny of company balance sheets as investing in shares. Three things to examine are cash flow, debts and profits.
Those who put money into any retail bond are essentially taking a view on whether the issuer will grow as hoped, in order to pay the interest payments. If the issuer fails, investors face the prospect of losing all their capital.
Another thing to bear in mind is that neither retail nor mini-bonds are covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. Mini-bonds differ from retail bonds, as they cannot be traded so therefore must be held to maturity.

Water at new DND headquarters now safe to drink
The almost 1,000 federal workers at the former Nortel campus on Carling Avenue can now drink the water.
A drinking-water ban for the Department of National Defence campus had been in place since April 27 after tests found higher than acceptable levels of lead and other chemicals. Bottled water was passed out to the DND employees and the Tim Hortons coffee shop at the headquarters complex in the west end of Ottawa had temporarily suspended its service.
However, a new series of tests has determined the water is now within the acceptable limits, according to Public Services and Procurement Canada and the Department of National Defence.
"Water samples obtained on 2 May were tested and the results confirm that the water is clear and meets Health Canada drinking water quality guidelines," DND employees were told in a May 8 message obtained by the Citizen.
The drinking water advisory was issued as a precaution to occupants of buildings 8 and 9 at the DND Carling campus. The former Nortel facility is to be the new headquarters for the DND. So far, about 980 DND employees are working at the site, almost all in buildings 8 and 9.
The DND has tried to reassure its employees about the water issues. "Short-term exposure to drinking water that contains levels slightly higher than the Health Canada guidelines for drinking water quality is not expected to have health effects since the drinking water guidelines are based on a lifetime of exposure," it added in its message to workers.
But John MacLennan, president of the Union of National Defence Employees, said his organization has its concerns.
MacLennan, whose union represents DND workers, noted that before the water ban became public, his staff were already hearing concerns from employees questioning the environmental safety of the Carling Avenue site. Some workers there were complaining about headaches and stomach issues, he added.
The previous water quality results indicated that low water demand in the campus buildings resulted in standing water in the pipes, which, in turn, led to the higher levels of contaminants. The lines were flushed twice to clear them of any stagnant water.
"A plan is in place to ensure the water system is flushed on a regular basis in order to avoid any future accumulation of standing water in the pipes," the DND message noted. "Water testing will remain ongoing as needed, and Canadian Health Services Centre (Ottawa) Preventative Medicine will interpret the results to ensure safe drinking water guidelines continue to be met."
The federal government spent $208 million to buy the Nortel complex; at a December 2013 briefing for journalists, defence officials said it will cost another $506 million to refit the buildings and $41 million in "transition costs," which are the costs of existing DND leases at other sites throughout Ottawa and Gatineau.
DND will consolidate its 40 facilities across the national capital region into a small number of locations, with more than half of its 16,000 local staff stationed at the Carling Avenue headquarters.
Senior government officials maintain the move will save taxpayers $750 million over the next 25 years.
The project, however, has fallen behind schedule. The DND had originally wanted around 3,400 staff at the campus by March 31, 2016. It is estimated there should be about 1,500 staff in buildings 8 and 9 by this summer.

Reckless Driving Charges Dismissed on Virginia Law TypoPosted on Dec 24, 2010
Mendez hired an attorney because reckless driving carries stiff fines and can be punishable by jail time. Mendez's attorney studied the Virginia bus safety statute and found the word "at" to be missing in the state law. The law reads, "A person is guilty of reckless driving who fails to stop, when approaching from any direction, any school bus which is stopped on any highway, private road or school driveway for the purpose of taking on or discharging children." Mendez's attorney argued that the way the law reads is that it is making it illegal to fail to stop a school bus, instead of "fail to stop at a school bus." This very little but important word changed the entire case for this Northern Virginia man.
The attorney's argument led to the acquittal of Mendez's reckless driving charge in Virginia. A Fairfax County Circuit Court judge found Mendez not guilty because there was no evidence that the man failed to stop a school bus. Joe Morrissey, State Delegate, also found the man not guilty of reckless driving after he reviewed the Virginia law and found the typo in the law.
Another version of this school bus safety law has been submitted and will be corrected in the 2011 General Assembly session.

Our friend Lou Bank , a favorite fermenter and co-presenter for our two mezcal events, introduces his love affair with agave spirits…..
I thought I understood how to make liquor. I had, after all, launched the craft distillery for Rogue Ales back in 2003. But Eduardo Angeles opened my eyes to a whole different spirits world, and changed my life in the process. And it was not the last time that Lalo — as his friends call him — would do so.
By the time my wife and I visited Oaxaca, Mexico, in 2008, I had been drinking mezcal for three years. But it was an interest, not a passion. You have interests, right? Things you do, that you like doing, but that you know will one day be eclipsed by something else? And you'll wind up tossing those dusty jars of artisanal mustards to make room for your new interest in bottle-conditioned beers? That's what mezcal was for me.
But on that theoretical one-and-done trip to Oaxaca, I met maestro (master) mezcalero Lorenzo Angeles, the Don of the family behind Mezcal Real Minero (a brand). We'd tasted Real Minero the evening before, and it was an epiphany — so much more complex and rich and delicious than anything available back home. The maestro invited us to visit his palenque (distillery) for a tour. We had no time, we told him, so he said we would have to visit when we returned.
We never imagined we'd go back, but kept Don Lorenzo's contact information … just in case. And good thing we did, because as much as we loved Real Minero when we tasted it in Oaxaca, our appreciation grew as we drank it back home. That's the thing about artisanal mezcals: they're so complex that it takes a while for your palate to truly understand what it is tasting.
Once enlightened, we made arrangements to go back and visit Don Lorenzo. Now, I've been on plenty of distillery tours — I know the formula. You get the 45-minute walk-and-talk, followed by a 15-minute tasting. So I figured I knew what I was in for when we arrived in Santa Catarina Minas, a rural community some 45 minutes southeast of Oaxaca City.
We were there for eight hours — eight hours! — with Don Lorenzo's son, Eduardo, himself a maestro who shared the responsibility of making the family mezcal with his father.
Those eight hours changed the trajectory of my life. It was on that tour that I saw the oddest still I'd ever seen, a brick-and-clay contraption that looked like one of those backyard "fireplaces" called chimeneas dropped into a wood-fired pizza oven. How did they come up with this? I wondered. And a few days later I had my answer.
I was wandering through used bookstores in Mexico City when I found a set of farmers' guides from 1849. Paging through the books, I came to the section on distillation, and in that section I found … a blueprint for the very still I had seen at the palenque. They hadn't invented this odd still — they were using technology that was 150 years old. Or older! Was this state-of-the-art in 1849?
That revelation was just the tip of the iceberg for me. After years of learning from Lalo Angeles, and years of hosting tastings of agave spirits at Fermentation Fest as a way to introduce everyone to Lalo's brilliance, I'm excited to be able to finally introduce everyone to Lalo himself, so you can appreciate still more of that iceberg. He started his own palenque a few years back, producing spirits under the brands Lalocura and Sacapalabras (not yet available in the US, though should be within a year). Lalo will pour you his eye-opening spirits; share how they are made; and explain how they are improving the quality of life in his small community in rural Mexico.
Please join us for the mezcal dinner on Saturday evening, or the mezcal tasting on Sunday afternoon, to taste the genius of Lalo Angeles; toast his father, Lorenzo, who passed last year; to strengthen ties to our brilliant neighbors to the south and to ignite your own passion for mezcal!
Lou Bank, S.A.C.R.E.D

Note: "Choices" By George Jones Is On Leonard Cohen's Jukebox was first posted March 10, 2012 at 1HeckOfAGuy.com, a previous incarnation of Cohencentric – well before the Canadian singer-songwriter began covering the song at the April 26, 2013 Winnipeg show. Some material about Cohen's cover of "Choices" has been added to the original content. Videos of and information about Leonard Cohen's performances of "Choices" can be found at Leonard Cohen – Choices.
Leonard Cohen's Jukebox
Biggest Influence on My Music – The jukebox. I lived beside jukeboxes all through the fifties. … I never knew who was singing. I never followed things that way. I still don't. I wasn't a student of music; I was a student of the restaurant I was in — and the waitresses. The music was a part of it. I knew what number the song was.
– Leonard Cohen (Yakety Yak by Scott Cohen, 1994)
Leonard Cohen's Jukebox: Over the years, Leonard Cohen has mentioned a number of specific songs he favors. Leonard Cohen's Jukebox is a Cohencentric feature that began collecting these tunes for the edification and entertainment of viewers on April 4, 2009. All posts in the Leonard Cohen's Jukebox series can be found at The Original Leonard Cohen's Jukebox Page.
Leonard Cohen On George Jones – "I love to hear an old guy laying out his situation"
"Choices" is the third George Jones song to make Leonard Cohen's Jukebox. "Cold Hard Truth" and "The Grand Tour" have also been specifically lauded by Cohen.
I listened to country as a kid. I could get WWVA from West Virginia, late at night. Have you heard George Jones' last record, Cold Hard Truth? I love to hear an old guy laying out his situation.1 He has the best voice in America.2
Q: What music would you have played at your funeral?
A: The Grand Tour by George Jones. He's showing somebody round this empty house and he's saying here's the nursery, she left me without mercy. 3
In his February 24, 2009 New York Times article, On the Road, For Reasons Practical and Spiritual, Larry Rohter, describes Leonard Cohen's response to an interviewer's inquiry into the music in his laptop's iTunes:
He [Leonard Cohen] played a klezmer-style Hebrew hymn, then followed it by singing along with one of George Jones's weepy country morality tales.
"I've had choices since the day that I was born,/There were voices that told me right from wrong," Mr. Cohen crooned in his stern baritone. "If I had listened, no, I wouldn't be here today,/Living and dying with the choices I've made."
The "weepy country morality tale"on Cohen's playlist is "Choices" by George Jones. Jones won a Grammy for Best Male Country Vocal Performance for the song "Choices," which was released on his Cold Hard Truth album, on June 22, 1999.
The personal background of the song is elaborated in this excerpt from the CMT George Jones biography:
Famed for excessive drinking throughout most of his career, Jones set something of a record in 1979 when he missed more than 50 concerts and picked up the nickname "No Show Jones." He battled his addiction with varying degrees of success throughout the 1980s and appeared to have conquered his drinking problem in the 1990s. Then, in 1999, he was seriously injured when he wrecked his car near his Nashville-area home. Police called to the scene found a partly empty bottle of vodka in the car. He was convicted of impaired driving, fined and sentenced to undergo treatment. There have been no such incidents since. In the wake of that final car crash, Jones released a powerful ballad called "Choices" …
George Jones – Choices
At the beginning of this video, Jones says "We're gonna do this one all the way through." This is a reference to the refusal of the CMA to allow Jones to sing the entire song, which received a CMA nomination for single of the year, on the broadcast of the awards show, citing time constraints. Rather than comply, Jones boycotted the event. During that show, Alan Jackson cut his performance of his own song short and broke into a full version of "Choices," earning a standing ovation from the audience and gratitude from Jones.4

- I also love to hear an old guy laying out his situation. Incidentally, George Jones was born September 12, 1931, making him only 3 years older than Leonard Cohen, who was born September 21, 1934. It was because Jones began his professional career at 16 and was singing on Texas stations in the 1940s that his songs could possibly have been available on radio while Cohen was still an adolescent. I haven't been able to track down when Jones began singing at WWVA, but, according to allmusic, the first George Jones recording (a single called "No Money in This Deal") was released in early 1954, just after Jones returned from a stint in the Marines, on a local Texas label where it received no attention. At that time, Leonard Cohen would have been 19 years old. [↩]

Fifty years ago, the Pacific coast of Central America was a wild coastal jungle. The tiny Mono Titi monkey ranged freely from Panama through Costa Rica. Today, the Mono Titi is restricted to two small, disconnected scraps of habitat, Manuel Antonio National Park, north of Playa El Ray, and Corcovado National Park to the south. Every day, the Mono Titi's habitat diminishes, and so do the Mono Titi. During the middle of the last century, Costa Rica emerged from third world impoverishment through a national agricultural development program. Devastating deforestation made way for alien crops like bananas, rice and cattle. Developers imported their visions of a tropical paradise by erecting modern resorts surrounded by coconut palms, also non-indigenous to Costa Rica and unsupportive to native wildlife. Thus, the Mono Titi are left with nowhere to go. They are trapped in two small islands of habitat amidst an inhospitable landscape, no biological corridor connecting them and no hope for survival without substantial intervention.
Saving the Mono Titi requires the restoration of a biological corridor between the Naranjo River and the Savegre River. Not an easy undertaking. The project requires removing and reversing the negative effects of non-native plants, such as deep-rooted grasses, sea almond and coconut palms. Then natural mangrove colonies must be re-established, using native varieties of mangrove, ferns and other salt-tolerant species. Ultimately, a biological corridor connecting the two separate Mono Titi habits would spare the monkeys from extinction and provide additional habitat for other indigenous Costa Rican animals.

Trent Myers
Greetings loved one. I'm donating $100 in your name to help fight the extinction of the mono titi. There are only 1,700 of these creatures left in the world and development in the Manuel Antonio area is the chief threat to their demise. I'm hopeful that this species can be brought back from the edge of extinction to a once again thriving population. Love you, trent. 5 years ago
