NAVSYS Awarded James S. Cogswell Outstanding Industrial Security
Colorado Springs, CO – June 13, 2016 – NASVSYS Corporation announced today it has received the 2016 James S. Cogswell Outstanding Industrial Security Achievement Award for its facility located just north of the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
The Cogswell Award is given for outstanding achievement in matters related exclusively to a facility's security program and is the highest honor the Defense Security Service (DSS) presents to cleared industry partners.
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Cogswell Awards, and Daniel Payne, Director of DSS, presented this year's awards at the 52nd Annual NCMS Society of Industrial Security Professional's National Seminar on June 8, 2016, in Nashville, Tennessee. Established in 1966, the Cogswell Award represents the need for a true partnership between industry and government to ensure the greatest protection for the U.S. warfighter and our Nation's classified information.
The Cogswell Award selection process is rigorous, and is given to a select few who have a proven track record of excellence in maintaining a top notch, comprehensive security program at their facility. A DSS Industrial Security Representative may only nominate facilities that have at a minimum two consecutive superior industrial security review ratings and which show a sustained degree of excellence and innovation in their overall security program management, implementation and oversight. The criteria include building and maintaining a security program that far exceeds the National Industrial Security Program (NISPOM) requirements and providing leadership to other cleared facilities to establish best practices while setting the highest standards for security.
This year, DSS presented the James S. Cogswell Outstanding Industrial Security Achievement Award to only 42 of more than 13,300 cleared defense contractors that are subject to recurring assessment; only a fraction of one percent of facilities. NAVSYS has had three consecutive superior ratings for their facility security program and have assisted other small businesses, including their partner GPS Source, in establishing a security program for their GPS products, NAVSYS President and CEO, Dr. Alison Brown, commented "We are thrilled to be awarded this prestigious award for our facility security program and being recognized for our efforts working with our government partners to assure the greatest security protection for our Assured Positioning Navigation and Timing (PNT) programs."

Transitioning to a Commercial Business Model GPS World, June 18, 2013
Transitioning to a Commercial Business Model - GPS World - June 18, 2013 - By Tony Murfin
How Navsys Leverages Military Expertise for Business
The financial landscape is changing in a number of ways for a lot of GNSS businesses due to the U.S. government sequester and to a larger extent due to the U.S. reduction in military spending. The larger multinationals and prime contractors may have achieved pretty well diversified scope for their operations, and most have existing commercial products or operations where they can pump up resources and investment to improve their commercial market and product positioning. But a number of small businesses have discovered that their military and government clients of the past no longer have the same level of funding available for key projects. So their search is on for commercial opportunities, and the transition to a commercial business model may present a significant change in the way they operate.
Navsys Corporation in Colorado Springs is located just outside the gates of the U.S. Air Force Academy, so it's not unusual that its customer base reflects a close association with the U.S. military and its prime contractors.
When someone in the military had a challenging GNSS or related technology problem in the past, it was often Navsys who was able to offer an innovative solution, through a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) proposal — and the company was actually awarded nine SBIR Phase II contracts over the last five years. Phase II SBIR contracts are designed to transition mil technology into commercial products either via government organizations or commercial outfits. Often in the past, prime contractors responding to a larger mil-spec requirement would also roll Navsys into their response when part of the requirement involved a GNSS navigation or related solution. So since 1989, the development of GNSS technology and products, and the publication of papers describing those technologies and products, have been pretty continuous at NAVSYS:
Extended wide area differential GPS
WAAS bent-pipe signal generator (SIGGEN)
GPS/inertial video registration
Digital beam-steering GPS receiver
JLOC Jammer Detection and Location system
Indoor location
GPS phased sensor array
Software-defined receiver
JLOC has been a long-term active government project for more than 10 years. SIGGEN technology has been part of Japan's MSAS system for more than 10 years, and is an example of a successful product that has transitioned from government research into the commercial sector. And, of course, the first GPS-enabled cell phone, developed by Navsys Corporation, is now on display at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum's Time and Navigation exhibition in Washington, D.C. Developed for the Colorado Department of Transportation's Emergency Vehicle Location System Mayday platform in 1995, this important step in GPS history paved the way for positioning to become an integral component of today's communications technology.
The complement of professionals on staff at Navsys has changed throughout the years, driven largely by how many projects were contracted at any one time, but the group has always had a very high standard of qualifications and experience and has inevitably exhibited a large degree of flexibility and creativity. Nowadays, moving to better align with commercial opportunities, Navsys helps companies solve challenging problems relating to GNSS, inertial, and simulation/testing. Cultivating business-to-business partnerships allows the company's technical expertise to compliment and strengthen end-user products or applications. So companies are able to use Navsys as a technical resource for product development at a lower cost than developing their own in-house navigation solutions. And many of the technologies and core capabilities that they turn to stem from prior research and development into government and military applications. As projects mature, they transition into industry-leading products and services. Navsys' industry partners and customers then go on to customize these capabilities into commercial applications in the marketplace.
One of the key technology/products that Navsys is pursuing includes InterNav modular GPS/inertial embedded software. It provides a real-time tightly coupled GPS/inertial solution that can be precisely aligned with additional sensors, including digital video products and laser rangefinders.
InterNav software provides geo-registration for SAFIRE.
InterNav software may be embedded into OEM applications including commercial-off-the-shelf GPS/INS systems, unmanned platform navigation and stabilization systems, and remote sensing geo-registration. The above graphic shows how InterNav provides highly accurate geo-registration for FLIR's Star SAFIRE electro-optic imaging system.
With other key customers such as KVH also using InterNav in some of its integrated inertial products, Navsys appears to be well on its way to penetrating a market segment that has previously been a space occupied by companies such as Applanix, Teledyne, and iMAR.
Another area where Navsys has had some success is GNSS simulation and test. The GNSS Signal Architect product suite includes Simulation and Toolbox software and test-set hardware.
Simulations of GPS or GLONASS are created based on static or dynamic scenarios. Users specify a complete set of simulation parameters, including receiver/satellite profiles and delay/noise error modeling. Playing back the simulation as an RF signal provides accurate and repeatable signals for GNSS receiver testing.
Signal architect user.
Toolbox includes a number of GNSS MATLAB utilities, including geographical, satellite geometry and receiver design/analysis tools. Test set is made up of a signal control unit computer and a software-defined radio and includes a wideband transceiver daughterboard.
Navsys has in the past provided extremely accurate GPS scenario generation software for end-user GPS simulator products, and the SatGen GNSS signal generator has also been released by Racelogic using Navsys Signal Architect Signal Simulation software.
Other technology/products currently in the works include Precision Geo-Registration and Remote Sensing, Geo-Referenced Imagery, Video-Aided Inertial Navigation and GNSS/Inertial Simulation.
GPS/inertial InterNav technology has been used to develop Precision Geo-Registration and Remote Sensing, which extracts precise coordinates from video imagery without requiring any known data points. The key technology advantage is a precision GPS/inertial alignment technique that enables accurate camera alignment and aiming (<1 mrad attitude) using only low‐grade inertial sensors.
Video-Aided Inertial Navigation uses an algorithm update technique that leverages image aiding from tracking ground points to further refine alignment accuracy. When combined with the GPS/inertial alignment algorithm, significantly improved alignment accuracy can be achieved over current GPS/inertial integration approaches.
So, as defense spending continues to contract, Navsys and other similar companies with an existing "treasure chest" of technology created for previous military programs are successfully adapting. Not only are skillfully modified, repackaged or even further advanced technologies and products being brought to the commercial marketplace, buttheir approach to business development, marketing and sales is beginning to take on the face of commercial operations. Business plans, carefully chosen projects and internal investment are beginning to replace responses to Commerce Business Daily (CBD) and Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOpps) as a way to conduct business. It's a brave new commercial world out there and Navsys amongst others is ready, prepared and able to adapt and succeed.

NAVSYS GPS Cell Phone on Display at Smithsonian
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The first GPS enabled cell phone, developed by NAVSYS Corporation, is now on display at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum's TIME and NAVIGATION exhibition in Washington, D.C. This device marks an important step in GPS history that paved the way for positioning to become the integral component of communications technology that exists today.
NAVSYS, recognized as a leader in navigation solutions and technologies, assisted in the development of the Colorado Department of Transportation's Emergency Vehicle Location System Mayday platform in 1995. To address the need for faster notification and responsiveness during emergencies, NAVSYS was contracted to integrate GPS positioning into a cell phone so that location information could be sent to a communications center for mobile 9-1-1 calls.
One of the enabling technologies NAVSYS developed for this system was LocaterNET. When activated by a user's In-Vehicle Unit (IVU), LocaterNET collects a snapshot of raw GPS information. That information is then sent to a remote processing system to determine the user's location. This technique allowed for low power consumption and processing requirements for the IVU, which is vital for small form factor personal navigation and communication devices.
"We are honored to be a part of this exhibition and for the awareness it creates for how GPS technology has advanced many other technologies we use today," said Alison Brown, President and CEO of NAVSYS.
The Smithsonian exhibition covers a multitude of navigation and timing innovations and opens on April 12, 2013. More information on the exhibition can be found here: http://timeandnavigation.si.edu/multimedia-asset/emergency-vehicle-location-system. A detailed description of the LocaterNET Mayday platform can be found here: http://www.navsys.com/papers/95-10-001 Mayday in the Rockies.pdf.

NAVSYS CEO Dr. Alison Brown shows girls the fun in STEM Education Press Release, Oct 12, 2012
NAVSYS CEO Dr. Alison Brown shows girls the fun in STEM Education
Colorado Springs, CO – October 12, 2012 – Dr. Alison Brown, President and CEO of NAVSYS Corporation, joined with other Colorado Springs leaders in business, technology and education to promote Girls STEM Day at the University of Colorado in Colorado Springs.
Girl STEM is a program of the Pikes Peak Community Foundation. The goal of the event is to spark the interest of young girls in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math and provide support to young women in pursuing education and careers in these areas. AAUW reports that only 20% of girls pursue degrees in STEM fields – a result of bias toward girls in studying in these fields and a lack of confidence the girls have in their own capabilities. The event is designed to introduce the girls to women who have made successful careers in STEM fields and hear from them that they can do it too.
The event attracted over 350 middle-school girls for hands-on science and math activities. Dr. Brown led three workshops titled: "Do you like clues? GPS and Geocaching: How to use GPS technology and mathematics to find hidden treasures on a geocaching expedition". This is Dr. Browns second year as a STEM volunteer.
NAVSYS Corporation is a research and development small business, focusing on global navigation technologies. A woman-owned business located in Colorado Springs, the company specializes in global positioning systems, inertial navigation systems, and communication systems for both military and commercial applications.

March 9, 2012 by The Central Resource
Contributed by Jill Webb, Director of Business Development, Central Bancorp
As home to a growing defense industry and military presence, Colorado Springs has the honor to host a number of technical conferences each year that discuss the nation's defense capabilities–present and future.
I had the pleasure this past week to attend one such gathering of minds at the Wide Area Sensing and Communications (WASC) Conference, which brought together some tremendous defense experts and officials including General Michael Hayden, the former director of the CIA; General William Shelton, commander of the Air Force Space Command; Lieutenant Governor Joe Garcia; and several other Department of Defense officials and industry experts.
These professionals from the commercial and military sectors were here in Colorado Springs to share the latest and greatest in communication and technology platforms that our military and government are using and developing to keep this country safe.
While most of what I saw seemed futuristic and unimaginable, the most interesting aspect of the conference, in my opinion, is that a lot of the technology showcased came from local small businesses right here in Colorado Springs, and they should be commended for their achievements in advancing defense technology.
The following companies were at the conference along with their CEO's, who shared their latest successes:
Navsys Corporation: Provides technical products and services in GPS hardware design, systems engineering, systems analysis, and software design
SkySentry: A national leader in the investigation and development of high altitude operations
Imprimis Inc: Supports government and private organizations in achieving operational excellence with the effective use of technology
Global Near Space Services: Designs and develops unmanned aerospace systems
Colorado Springs is known for its many great industries, outdoor offerings, and quality of life. Through the work of these industries and more, it has also become the second largest defense industry market in the United States. We should be proud of that accomplishment and celebrate these businesses who are making it happen!

NAVSYS Corporation President Offers Testimony to Congress NAVSYS Press Release, Dec 06, 2011
NAVSYS Corporation President, Dr. Alison Brown, offers Testimony to Congress at a Women's CEO Panel on Jobs and the Economy
Colorado Springs, CO – December 6, 2011 – Dr. Alison Brown, President CEO of NAVSYS Corporation, joined a panel of six female CEOs to advise congresswomen about the challenges their respective companies and industries face and how current economic policies and regulations affect business growth and job creation. Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers (WA-R), moderated the panel hosted by women members of the House Republican Conference in Washington D.C. on Monday, December 5. Rodgers, Vice Chair of the Conference, explained that the event's goal was to bring female industry leaders together to share their perspectives on how to revive the economy, which has suffered 34 consecutive months with an unemployment rate higher than 8 percent.
Dr. Brown kicked off the panel, presenting the issues faced by NAVSYS as a small business specializing in GPS high technology and defense, which is facing delays in contracts that save the military millions of dollars. These delays are resulting in a hiring freeze. "The Air Force is drawing down their costs so rapidly this year that there is no time for them to perform any analysis on the effect of some of their cost cutting measures."
Brown points to DoD and small business contracting restrictions, access to capital and economic confidence as key issues which need to be addressed to help her and other high tech small businesses.
Brown urged that congress "put teeth into the congressionally mandated small business contracting goals (23%) which have continued to be ignored by the DoD and other agencies, and remove barriers to small business contracting, such as unfair Federal Acquisition Regulations, that are being used to prevent small business competitions. In FY11, the DoD fell short of their small business contracting goals by $12B. This was a 7-year low for the contract dollars
awarded to small businesses and a 28% drop from recent years. These contracts are important to help small businesses grow."
"Another area of critical concern to me," added Brown "is the challenge in getting access to working capital. As a result of the Wall Street financial crisis, restrictions have been put on banks that are causing Main Street to suffer. Five years ago, I could invest in a new product development with reasonable certainty that when I started receiving customer orders I could get access to a working line of credit sufficient to pay for bringing onboard new employees and purchasing materials. This is no longer the case. This is a serious problem for any small business planning growth."
Brown's final Christmas wish relates to economic climate confidence. "Restore confidence to the business community," Brown advised the Congresswomen. "Having no plan in place to get out of the debt crisis is hurting business far more, in my opinion, than any of the flaws that opponents have pointed out with each other's plans for recovery. The worse case situation for businesses, in developing our own strategic plans for growth, is the "no plan" condition that currently exists due to Congressional dead-lock and the inability of the super committee to come up with resolutions."
Other CEOs testifying on the panel included:
Ms. Catherine Heigel – President, Duke Energy South Carolina
Ms. Lisa Hook – President & CEO, Neustar, Inc.
Ms. Barbara Martin – President & CEO, Vista Health System
Ms. Sandra Parrillo – President & CEO, Providence Mutual Fire Insurance
Ms. Janet Trautwein – CEO, National Association of Health Underwriters

When it's frosty and -20 Celsius outside, all you want to do is find comfort in a delicious hot soup and hibernate at home. This soup is the best, don't let the 'cleansing' label fool you, it still has all the qualities of a soothing and filling soup where each sip feels like it nourishes you through out. It is thick and velvety, despite having no cream. The combination of kale, spinach, zucchini, mint, garlic, celery is rather magical that explodes with vitamins from the dark green leaves, plant protein and fibre.
This soup happened a little by accident as I was combining my favourite leftovers from the fridge after a freezing walk with our dog. It really makes an easy healthy lunch or quick supper if you are in need of an extra boost. I had just taken a walk outside with Bella, the sea was fogging that was a piercing blue colour while the stones were covered in pure ice. The air was frosty, but ever so beautiful and at that moment I wish I would have had my camera with me. When I came home, I searched my fridge for all different greens and began making a hot soup! This is a definite must share recipe and it's extra delicious served with some avocado either on top of the soup or on the side as a toast.
Anyways, this soup is quick and easy to make, suitable also for a vegan diet. All you really need to do is chop, heat and blend and you have a fabulous green soup! It really needs no cream to make it delicious, of course you can tweak it as much as you like and make it more glamorous. You can add parmesan, crispy parma ham on top or what ever you like! It will have a great impact on your body as it is filled with minerals and vitamins, especially calcium. The ingredients are clean and good for your body, a natural cleansing remedy. This healthy soup is a great addition to January's healthier lifestyle and it is made for these frosty chilly days. Eating like this, will help you stay away from the winter flu and raise your immune levels. Enjoy everyone!
Chop the celery, shallots, zucchini, garlic and heat in a sauce pan with a bit of butter. Gently stir and let them sweat under the lid for about 7 minutes. Stir in the chopped kale and spinach and let them wilt. After a couple of minutes, add in enough vegetable stock so almost all ingredients are just covered. Simmer gently for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the kale is tender.Remove from the stove and blend the mixture into a smooth paste in a food processor, add a pinch of salt. Place it back onto the stove and heat. Ready to serve: garnish the soup with a generous amount of ground black pepper, light sesame seeds and finely chopped parsley. A small dollop of creme fraiche is great with the soup too!


Winjama: Matthew - Lucky Thirteen?
Not that I'm particularly religious, in fact, far from it, but it is curious that in the Gospel of Matthew, he talks about flooding other disasters and the need for preparedness. Ok, maybe he's not necessarily talking about a tropical storm or hurricane, but it's certainly appropriate for today anyway.
Also, not being overly superstitious, Matthew is the thirteenth named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season. Each time I look at the updated projected track from NOAA's National Hurricane Center, it looks a smidge more favorable for us. I think we're still going to get a soaking out of the whole thing.
So, taking Matthew's words on preparedness to heart, and the fact that preparedness was my game for many years, we spent most of yesterday, doing just that - getting prepared. We moved the bed and futon we had in storage downstairs in the house over to the guesthouse.
We've moved bottles of water in, we have our solar-powered radio, lantern, flashlights, books, computers, important papers and records, supplies, kitty and dog stuff, and a whole bunch of other stuff in the guesthouse as well. In short, following our Hurricane Preparedness Checklist.
We're looking at this as, more or less, a test of our preparedness process. So, after the fact, we'll let you know how we did.
If Matthew makes it to hurricane strength, I'll more than likely take down the dishes. If that occurs, I won't be making any more posts till I restore them after the storm. We'll see.
We've had rain off and on throughout the night. I just heard a car go by and the road sounds pretty sloppy, so walkies for the dogs is doubtful today. Which means we can get right to it and continue with preparations.

Also, congrats if you can spot the arrow in "FedEx".
The Nuggets would be a great team to try new things with. I loved the 2004 redesign and the emphasis on baby blue and medium blue, but they gave up on the medium in favor of navy and did way too much tinkering over the years. As long as you include some shade of gold for gold nuggets, you can go in any number of directions with them. I'm ready to see the 1993 logos retired for good, for one thing.
Agreed, that font is beyond date I think, and I liked this set when it came out in 1993-94 even the colors, though royal blue might of worked better with the maroon and gold. I still think using copper would be a nice new twist.
I just wish they'd go back to their '90s color palette of navy, deep red, and actual GOLD....you know, since they're the Nuggets and all.
There's an arrow in FedEx? Get outta here. Since when?
Bonus points if you can spot the FedEx spoon.
Gonna guess next Monday or Tuesday for the reveal.
I hope they go back to some sort of skyline. Colors baby blue, gold and silver (ice mountain).
It was a nice combo, but the Pelicans pretty much have that color palette..
Good point -- in my opinion the Pelicans should never have had that color palette, though. Mardi Gras or black and gold like the Saints both make far too much sense for them not to utilize one or the other. So I guess in a perfect world I'd have the Pelicans switch to either of those and then the Nuggets switch back to their '90s color palette!
Has no one assumed that FedEx may randomly be the sponsor for the Nuggets?
I really like the way the skyline pattern looks on the gold alternate. I'd be very fine with something like that in the same colors all across the board.
I've always assumed they would sponsor the Grizzlies' jerseys before another NBA team.
Man, "Memphis Express" would have rocked in the right hands. Do some Stax Records-style imagery (like the D-league team) and don't call any attention to FedEx. Another mistake David Stern made with this franchise, like establishing it at all.
As a lifelong fan of the team, I wouldn't be surprised if this is nothing more than just nothing. Josh Kroenke and Stan Kroenke are always behind when it comes to identity. The mountain logo should have been dropped 8 years ago, and the beautiful secondary should have smoothly replaced it. The newer unis were poorly marketed. Most fans didn't even notice the change, in fact, you go to a game and 90% of people still wear the jerseys from a few years ago. What this team needs is a concise branding plan and to get away from their lazy approaches in marketing. A color change is much needed. I pray for a better plan going forward.
I don't know how I feel about this teaser. I feel like I'm seeing a tease from the Pacers or offshoot from Grizzlies.
The numbers look to be the same as last year...the trim switched from light blue to navy..
Edited. I deleted the pic. The collars clearly don't match. I'll trust the nuggets themselves over Darren Rovell. Sorry for jumping the gun.


Natural-gas futures turned lower Thursday after the U.S. Energy Information Administration reported that natural-gas supplies rose by 76 billion cubic feet for the week ended May 1. Analysts surveyed by Platts forecast a climb of between 72 billion cubic feet and 76 billion cubic feet. Total stocks now stand at 1,786 trillion cubic feet, up 742 billion cubic feet from a year ago and 67 billion cubic feet below the five-year average, the government said. June natural gas was at $2.75 per million British thermal units, down 2.6 cents, or 0.9%. It was trading around $2.79 before the data.


I am trying to figure out my schedule for SDCC. Just out of curiosity, which panels last year passed out either tickets or swag? I can usually count on HBO for at least one goody bag, but with their absence this year I was looking to attend at least one panel that might provide some goodies, even if its just buttons promoting the show.
Of the panels I went to last year I got items/tickets from Kingsmen and Legion.
I attended Hall H on Saturday last year and got swag from Westworld (drawstring backpack and promo poster) and Marvel (Thor and Black Panther posters). Unfortunately, both are absent this year.
Which are kind of hard to get. Well at least last year. They handed them out at the offsite. But instead of waiting for the people attending the panel to get there, they handed them out to anyone that walked by so by the time that many of the people from the panel got there, they were gone. Which lead to a lot of consternation. They told people to stop by the booth and pick one up. You could but it was a very limited number whenever they opened the line back up and there was a lot of pushing and shoving.
I got a ticket for a t-shirt from Legion and another item from a different FX show. I don't remember which one as I don't watch it. It was just a keychain thing though.
A lot of stuff seems to be given at booths or offsites now.
Archer usually gives stuff out. . Last year, the shirts worked with the AR filters in the Archer App so you got some cool animation.
We got posters from a Marvel games panel I think it was (it was Spiderman) and the Call of Duty Zombies panel I think? LOL, I don't play either of those so they are still in their tubes in my closet. We got tshirts from Miraculous Ladybug, and either a poster or a comic book from Voltron, i don't remember which.
I got a pineapple pin from the Psych panel. A rad t-shirt at the Supernatural panel with a timeline on it. Numerous posters which I quickly give away since I'm just not equipped to be carrying a rolled up poster around all day. And of course a Viking drinking horn.
Of course, what would be key to the OP's question is if there was a list of all the panels that will be in the premiums room. That's where people trade in the tickets they get at certain panels for swag.
My brother got a T-shirt and a gigantic poster of Terry Crews from the crackdown panel. I also saw some funko pops for some of the DC panels.
I agree that this was very confusing and messy last year. And, it was made worse by the confusion associated with the Vikings funeral procession through the Gaslamp (which I did) instead of the Panel. Those who participated procession were allowed to walk in first and got tickets for lamps at the end which were handed directly to us by those leading the procession. There was also a giant line people just waiting for the offsite that they did try to control. I think they wanted to wait for the panel and announced that a few times - but then then people from the general line started jumping in the procession line at the very end. If I remember right - the panel ran a few minute late. It got crazy confusing and yeah - the people at the panel got shorted.
I do wonder if they will give out horns at the panel given they are in B20 - or will they limit it to a few at the booth as they have done in years past. But frankly - my favorite swag of all time is the time-lapse video Vikings created from the year they did bludgeon booth.
We got T-shirts from The Orville panel last year. We also got The Tick posters from the Tick panel, and a mini Lego Avengers Quinjet and poster from Lego Marvel.
Only a bite-sized poster for Death Note/Bright that IMO wasn't even worth the walk to the fulfillment room.
In previous years Vikings had given out horns at their panel, but not last year.
The Call of Duty panel gave out posters the past 2 years. Its pretty good quality ones as well. 2 years ago it was a Mondo poster by Jock.

Washington State head strength and conditioning coach Dwain Bradshaw steps down from post
Dec. 2, 2022 Updated Fri., Dec. 2, 2022 at 4:01 p.m.
By Colton Clark coltonc@spokesman.com(208) 627-3209
PULLMAN – Dwain Bradshaw, the head strength and conditioning coach for Washington State's football team, announced Thursday over Twitter that he is leaving the program.
Bradshaw didn't reveal his next stop or the reasoning behind his decision to depart.
"I want to thank everyone at Washington State for an amazing 3 years," he tweeted. "Our journey has made us family for life! Keep climbing! See you at the top! #Mywatchhasended."
Bradshaw spent the past three seasons at WSU. He joined the Cougars in early 2020 as part of coach Nick Rolovich's staff, then was retained when Jake Dickert took the helm last year. Before WSU, Bradshaw worked under Rolovich at Hawaii as the team's director of athletic performance.
Bradshaw also made stops at Texas Tech, USC, Auburn and Arizona State – he played safety and linebacker for the Sun Devils in the early 2010s.
"I really appreciate Dwain and all his hard work, his character, his work ethic and what he poured into the guys was never a question," Dickert said Friday. "He built real relationships that are really special and he's served us through a hard three-year span, and kept us together."
Dickert considers the strength and conditioning position to be the "most important hire in the program," because WSU's success hinges on its ability to develop players, rather than signing immediate-impact recruits.
"We're going to take time and we're going to do it right. A lot of people are interested in this position and doing it at a good place and doing it the tough way," Dickert said. "We gotta create tough people and it starts there. … Development is everything, then retention is everything. That'll be the name of our program as we keep trying to build it and doing it the right way here."

A Home Care Package is a government-funded package of care and services that helps you live independently in your own home. It is designed to meet your personal needs – whether that involves a lot of support or a little.
Setting up your Home Care Package can be a confusing process, but we can guide you through it and help you access the services you need. Simply call us on 13 BAPTCARE (13 22 78).
What is the process for setting up a Home Care Package?
To get the process started, you will first need to contact My Aged Care.
Once you have done this, you'll receive a series of letters from My Aged Care as your application is processed. The following is a brief explanation of these letters and what will happen at each step.
You'll receive this letter after you have registered with My Aged Care to apply for a Home Care Package.
This letter is important because it includes your unique aged care ID. Whenever you speak to staff at My Aged Care or a home care service provider (such as Baptcare), this ID will be used to confirm your identity.
You will receive a visit from the Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT), also known as the Aged Care Assessment Service (ACAS) in Victoria. The purpose of this visit is to assess what kinds of services you need to help you live independently at home.
You'll receive this letter after your ACAT/ACAS assessment, if you're eligible for a Home Care Package. Be aware that this may take up to 8 weeks following your assessment.
May contain a list of referral codes for aged care services, which you'll need once your Home Care Package is ready to access and use.
You're now on the waiting list for assignment of a Home Care Package.
While you are waiting, you have the option of accessing our self-funded home care services. Call 13 BAPTCARE (13 22 78) for more information.
You'll receive this letter around 90 days before the expected assignment of your Home Care Package. The purpose of this letter is to encourage you to prepare for your package assignment, e.g. by finding an approved care provider and arranging an income assessment with the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS).
This letter will also ask you to opt out of the waiting list (by contacting My Aged Care) if you no longer want to receive a Home Care Package.
Home Care Packages are income-tested, so you will need to have a formal income assessment. Contact DHHS Victoria (or DHHS Tasmania) to arrange this. Please note that you will only be asked to pay an income-tested fee if your income exceeds the pension amount.
To discuss how we can meet your care needs as an approved provider, call 13 BAPTCARE (13 22 78).
This letter confirms that you can now use your Home Care Package, and explains the level of package you have been assigned. There are four package levels, ranging from Level 1 (basic care needs) through to Level 4 (high-level care needs).
IMPORTANT: Once you receive this letter, you will have 56 days to start using your package. If you don't start using your package within this time, your funding will expire. However, you can request a 28-day extension by calling My Aged Care – or we can do this for you.
Now that your funding is approved, you need to enter into a home care agreement with your chosen provider.
We can make this easy for you. Call 13 BAPTCARE (13 22 78) and we'll arrange a visit to your home to set up a care plan that meets your individual needs.
If you need a 28-day extension, call us on 13 BAPTCARE (13 22 78) or contact My Aged Care. This will ensure that you don't lose your funding.
Need help with your Home Care Package?
We have more than 20 years' experience in Home Care Package services, so we'll work with you to understand your options and get the most out of your package.
Call us on 13 BAPTCARE (13 22 78) – we'll guide you through the process and help you access the home care services you need.


Finance is the mother of all human systems. In order to meet the challenge facing us, from shifting to renewable energy and implementing regenerative agriculture, we have to change finance.
Kathy Hipple, Professor of Finance and Accounting at Bard MBA, believes we can play a role in this. But we have to learn how.
Kathy, who once sold bonds to Japanese institutions at Merrill Lynch and founded and ran Ambassador, a large media company in New York City, stresses that all her students in the rigorous two-semester Bard MBA Finance sequence master financial and managerial accounting, financial statement analysis, behavioral finance, and corporate finance. A module on impact finance and investing then allows students to showcase their hard-earned finance skills in real-life projects. While all her material is presented through the lens of sustainability, Kathy ensures that students know the core principles of finance.


"I wouldn't change a single thing. I would do it 100,000 times again."
The transgender woman who went viral in December for cussing out and threatening an Albuquerque GameStop employee for allegedly calling him "sir" is wholly unapologetic for the incident, saying he'd do it 1,000 times over again.
"Yeah, I could have reacted a whole lot better," Tiffany Moore told KOB-TV n Monday. "But you know what, I look back at it and if I could, I wouldn't change a single thing. I would do it 100,000 times again. I would kick over that display 100,000 times again. Because my actions were justified. I mean, it was blatant and malicious hate. It was blatant and malicious misgendering."
In the viral video, Moore becomes belligerent with the employee, dropping cuss words and threatening to "take it outside" with the young man. "Ma'am! Once again: 'ma'am!" Moore screams. "Mother f***er! Take it outside! You wanna call me 'sir' again? I will show you a f***ing sir!"
"I was so angry at that point because, literally, five or six times he had called me 'Sir.' He got me so fuming angry and I was cussing," Moore told the news station.
The viral clip is "bringing so many bigots out of the woodwork," said Moore.
"We're humans just like you," Moore said. "We're people just like you. We have kids. We have parents. We have brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins, we're just trying to live," he added.

Racial Identity in Ghost In The Shell (2017) **Contains Spoilers**
By Luke | April 4, 2017 - 8:30 pm | July 3, 2019 Essay, Movies
44% on Rotten Tomatoes and $18.6 Million on the opening weekend. With these numbers, it is safe to say that the adaptation of Ghost In The Shell is an utter failure, both financially and critically. So why did I love this movie so much? Am I stupid for loving this racially-insensitive Hollywood cash-in or am I seeing something that everyone has missed or ignored? As amusing as it would be to make an article of me facing my own cognitive dissonance to realign my thinking to popular views, I think I'm going to do the dangerous thing: Have my own unpopular opinion and defend it. So here's why Ghost In The Shell (2017) was great and why everyone missed the point of the movie.
Let's start with the problem that many people have with this movie: the casting of Scarlett Johansson as Major Kusanagi, a Japanese cyborg counter-terrorist. Hollywood has had a lot of issues of racially insensitive casting for movies throughout its whole history. Blackface, yellowface, and redface were all commonplace for decades where white actors were put under make-up to play roles that are for other races. This allowed for the spreading of negative racial stereotypes that still continue to this day. While many improvements have been made in our current media, there are still examples of Hollywood whitewashing traditionally ethnic characters like in the live action The Last Airbender and The Lone Ranger. This article is not to defend such practices by any means. Minorities are extremely under-represented in popular culture, even today. However, in the context of the themes, story and world of Ghost In The Shell the casting of Scarlett Johansson was not only justified, but it also allowed the movie to take a self-aware look into how capitalist-driven corporations seek to change our identity for profit.
So in the movie, the plot is primarily driven by Major's desire to find out who she is. The dilemma of that is faced with being a human-like cyborg but not completely human. In the world of Ghost in the Shell, many people have cybernetic implants. Some like the Major, have a completely synthetic body. So the way that many people retain their humanity is by having a "ghost." A ghost is a mind, so the identity of a person is linked to the mind or their "ghost." Both the new and the original movies show the problem with this as memories are hacked and altered by both cyber-terrorists like the Puppet Master or mega-corporations like Hanka Robotics. In both films, Major struggles with their own identity as she's unsure if her memories are her own or are artificial like her body is. The animated film doesn't seek to answer questions as to the truth of Major's identity, rather it ends with her finding her humanity by ironically evolving into a higher and completely technological being by merging with The Puppet Master. This is where the live-action version differs.
In the live-action version, the central focus is on finding out Major's identity. In the film, she is introduced as a (presumably American) refugee that survived a terrorist attack, thus giving her the motivation to hunt down terrorists in the anti-terrorism unit Section 9. However, after meeting with hacker Kuze, her identity is put into question and she seeks answers. She finds out that not only is the terrorist attack that killed her parents a fake memory implanted by Hanka, but her real identity (or ghost) is a Japanese runaway named Motoko Kusanagi (surprise!). So yes, The Major in the live-action movie is, in fact, Japanese, or specifically, she is a Japanese Ghost in the American Shell.
So does this justify white-washing Major's character in the first place? Or, as some of the critics claim, a sloppy means for the filmmakers the hop around a sensitive issue? First of all, the story antagonizes the corporation that kidnaps children, brainwashes them with a new identity and then gives them a new body as a means to get profit. I don't think the film is trying to say that changing a person's race and identity for your own gain is okay. I'm happy that the filmmakers were ballsy enough to even attempt to be a mirror at Hollywood's own race problem. Do you know how many actors and actresses needed to change their name to make them sound less ethnic? Charlie Sheen was born Carlos Irwin Estevez, his father's name is Ramon Antonio Gerard Estevez, you know him as Martin Sheen. That is an example of only one actor out of many that had to change their name. The closure for The Major in the live action movie comes from discovering her real name: Motoko Kusanagi. Only then she is able to connect to the world around her, using not her American shell but through her Japanese ghost.
By the way, I asked two friends of mine, both of whom are Asian American, how they felt about the movie. Both of them enjoyed the movie and weren't bothered by the casting. One of them even said that Scarlett Johansson did the character justice. The anime doesn't even address her ethnicity so her race doesn't affect her characterization at all. Ironically the one time it does is the American adaptation because it's part of her character arc. The big irony in all this though is how everyone is upset that Hollywood changed the identity of the protagonist, and the movie agrees with you wholeheartedly.
If the plot itself isn't enough to convince you, then I will start talking about the themes of the original animated classic and the cyberpunk genre as a whole. The opening text in the Ghost in the Shell (1995) says that "The advancement of computerization, however, has not yet wiped out nations and ethnic groups." The key word in that statement is 'yet'. The implications are important to understanding the multicultural themes in both cyberpunk and Ghost in the Shell. The original movie, Major does, in fact, transcend race and nation by merging with The Puppet Master and evolving into a computerized ghost without age, gender or ethnicity. The world of cyberpunk is filled with multiculturalism. Blade Runner is a world full of different ethnicities (primarily Chinese) even though it takes places in a future Los Angles. Ghost in the Shell is a Japan full of multiculturalism as well. Here's an excellent video essay by The Nerdwriter about how Ghost in the Shell does this.
One of the themes in Ghost in the Shell is developing a world that is truly uni-cultural by the use of technology. When all differences are removed by uniting the world on a global network and controlling our appearance via synthetic bodies. However, this may present a problematic dilemma in the current discussion on race. Does this uni-culturalism mean that we should be color blind? What I mean by that is, does the mixture and evolution of multiple cultures mean we must lose our past in order to make a future where no race exists? I think the movie makes that clear when The Puppet Master says this:
"All things change in a dynamic environment. Your efforts to remain what you are is what limits you."
The difference between the original animated film is that the live action film is about embracing your cultural identity. The ending is Major accepting her past and reuniting with her mother. This is ultimately what I loved about the live-action version is that is it not the same as the original. It is not a remake but an adaptation, which I think it did well for the current discussions on race which promotes the acceptance of one's heritage, promote diversity and the tolerance toward other's ethnicity.
So it would make sense for the cast of the new Ghost in the Shell to be multicultural. Many of it's supporting characters are Chinese, Japanese, Black, and White. It reflects the multiculturalism found in America and (increasingly) in other countries around the world. It may not focus attention on the ethnic characters as much as I'd like but none of them I would say are stereotypical. I mentioned in my review that "Chief" Aramaki, a Japanese character played by a Japanese actor (the great Beat Takeshi Kitano) that speaks Japanese throughout the whole movie, is one of my favorites (pictured below). I think the movie did try to show a world of people of different colors to work together in a much more optimistic way than your typical cyberpunk movie.
The new Ghost in the Shell is not here to mimic what made the original anime great. Instead, it took the source material and adapted to a more international and contemporary audience. It's okay with me if the new Ghost in the Shell didn't work for you. But I feel like I have to explain myself, why I seem to be a minority in how I feel about this movie. I just feel that people are watching the film without reading what it's trying to say, or worse, not watching it and judging it based on the opinion of others. It isn't a perfect movie, but it at least got me to not only think about the depiction of race in pop culture but also be a fun and visually stunning movie to watch. I have to give credit to a movie that does that for me.

Touring exhibition shows retrofits in 11 historic buildings
In October, Vienna became the first venue for the new touring exhibition Historic Buildings Energy Retrofit Atlas. At the European Congress on the Use, Management and Conservation of Buildings of Historical Value held in Austria's capital, 12 roll-up banners showed the positive impact that energy retrofits had on historic buildings in different countries.
Publication: Impact of climate change on indoor environment of historic libraries in Mediterranean climate zone
NZEB Project Partners at the Izmir Institute of Technology have recently had an article published in the International Journal of Global Warming. It describes analysis of conditions in an historic library and how that might change with future climate change trends, and measures by which conservation conditions are maintained. Find the article via www.inderscienceonline.com/doi/abs/10.1504/IJGW.2019.101083
Appropriate refurbishment of traditional buildings
Historic Environment Scotland have agreed a partnership with the UK Government's Energy Saving Trust (EST) in Edinburgh to assist in the dissemination of information about appropriate refurbishment of traditional buildings. The EST are sponsored by government to deliver advice on energy efficiency and renewable options for homeowners in Scotland. This initiative will be a programme of education for the EST energy advisors who interact with the public, as well as a series of outreach events around Scotland for Architects, Building Professionals and Homeowners. We will also be working with the EST in developing their online building assessment tool for use with older buildings. Please visit www.energysavingtrust.org.uk/home-energy-efficiency for more info.
Collaboration on advising landowners and farms on energy efficient upgrades to traditional rural cottages in Scotland
Historic Environment Scotland are working with Scottish Land and Estates (SLE) to advise landowners and farms on how to upgrade traditional rural cottages in Scotland. Often such buildings are remote, have no access to gas, and achieve poor assessment ratings, due to low insulation levels and restricted fuel types. However, on the positive side, there is often access to biomass and there are many opportunities for solar and wind power. HES will be delivering a series of outreach events in Scotland to farmers and contributing to a special edition of the magazine featuring upgrade options for older cottages. Please follow www.scottishlandandestates.co.uk/news for more information.
Reducing energy consumption in historic buildings
A meeting in mid-April, Copenhagen, Denmark, gave members of IEA SHC research platform Renovating Historic Buildings Towards Zero Energy (Task 59) the opportunity to meet researchers working on the EU Horizon 2020 project Robust Internal Thermal Insulation of Historic Buildings, or RIBuild, and prompted a fruitful exchange between experts in historic building refurbishment.

Lemon Twigs Will Rock First Ave On Saturday, January 26th
January 22, 2019 Vito Ingerto Previews 0
Brothers Brian and Mark D'Addario will be bringing the rock to the First Ave Mainroom as they tour the world in support of their latest release Go to School. Supporting the young brothers will be Jackie Cohen.
Do Hollywood, The Lemon Twigs' 2016 debut LP, was an invigorating, much-needed blast of fresh air that whipped across the arid landscape of contemporary rock. If that stunningly accomplished recording, which flew in the face of current musical trends, wasn't surprising enough on the face of it, the fact that Do Hollywood was the handiwork of two teenagers—brothers Brian and Michael D'Addario—rendered the achievement utterly mind-boggling. Now, with the follow-up full-length, Go to School (4AD, out 8/24/18), the siblings, now 21 and 19, respectively, have set the bar dizzyingly high even by their own lofty standards, and proceed to soar over it into the stratosphere. Listening to this wildly ambitious album is like entering and inhabiting a parallel universe.
Go to School's subtitle is A Musical, and that turns out to be an accurate description of the 15-song extravaganza, which tells the tale of the pure-of-heart chimpanzee Shane, who's adopted by a childless couple—played by the brothers' musical hero Todd Rundgren and their mom, Susan Hall—and raised as a human boy. Michael describes Go to School as "a fairy tale with a dark edge," as Shane is ostracized, bullied and rejected by the girl he falls for, erupts in an extreme act of retribution for being robbed of his innocence. The libretto is played out in a series of intricate, wildly eclectic musical settings ranging from spot-on throwback rockers to traditional Broadway-style production numbers.
