A degloving injury is a type of avulsion in which an extensive section of skin is completely torn off the underlying tissue, severing its blood supply. It is named by analogy to the process of removing a glove.

The causes of degloving can vary, but they often occur when someone's hand or arm gets stuck in a machine or when they're involved in a car accident. Treatment for degloving injuries can vary depending on the severity of the injury, but often includes surgery and skin grafts.

All sorts of things can lead to this type of injury. Car accidents, falls, or getting caught in machinery are all common causes. But there are also less obvious things that can cause degloving injuries, like contact with chemicals or extreme weather conditions.

Effects
Typically, degloving injuries affect the extremities and limbs; in these cases, they are frequently associated with underlying fractures. Any injury which would induce degloving of the head or torso is likely to be lethal. However, controlled facial degloving is often featured in plastic surgery.

Degloving injuries invariably require major surgical interventions. Treatment options include replantation or revascularization of the degloved skins, or when these are not possible, skin grafts or skin flaps. While the preservation of the extremities and limbs is normally preferred, in some cases amputations may be advised or required. Post-operative physiotherapy is of particular importance for degloving injuries involving the hand.

Other animals
Many small mammals are able to induce degloving of their tails to escape capture; this is comparable to tail autotomy in reptiles.

FlexiGroup has appointed a former media executive at REA Group to the position of chief revenue officer.
Publicly listed non-bank lender FlexiGroup Limited has announced that it has appointed Elizabeth Minogue as its chief revenue officer, overseeing the group's sales growth in Australia.
Ms Minogue was most recently the executive general manager of media, content and marketing at REA Group, where she was responsible for the creation, delivery and management of REA's Lifestyle consumer experience.
Her efforts to drive sales to REA's media and content business reportedly resulted in a 250 per cent year-on-year surge in revenue and 20 million visits to the site in 2018.
Ms Minogue was also previously the director for integration and content partnerships at Multi-Channel Network and currently serves as a non-executive director at Tennis Australia.
Commenting on the appointment, FlexiGroup CEO Rebecca James said Ms Minogue's experience with "using data, digital and content to truly understand and appeal to the end-consumer will play a vital role in driving greater sales for retail partners and volume growth for FlexiGroup.
"She has a proven track record in building and leading large, high-performance teams and brings with her an enviable network of Australia's best known and loved retail brands," Ms James continued.
The new chief revenue officer said she looked forward to making a "meaningful impact" at FlexiGroup as the lender "embraces a new direction and purpose".
"It's rare to find a company like FlexiGroup whose products span a broad price range, meaning that it can legitimately own lifestyle financing across a wide demographic," Ms Minogue added.
Last month, the non-bank lender announced the pricing of $300 million asset-backed securities (ABS), supported by pool of unsecured, retail, "no interest ever" payment plans originated by its subsidiary Certegy Ezi-Pay, which allows customers to buy products and services on instalments.
The transaction included a third "green tranche" of notes (i.e. the Class C-G notes), backed by solar receivables.
Commenting on the ABS, Ms James said: "FlexiGroup has always taken an innovative approach to funding, and the inclusion of a third green tranche of notes in this transaction is a testament to that.
"There has been good appetite amongst current and new investors to support green initiatives and industries.
The CEO also noted at the time of the announcement that the ABS transaction would give the lender "substantial headroom" to grow its receivables book through the launch of its new 'buy now, pay later' product, called humm, as well as accommodate increased demand for its other products.

Is Apple intentionally removing erotic novellas from iBooks charts in the UK?

He has held management positions at a number of tech companies in the US and China. Check out his personal blog to connect with him or follow him on Twitter (if you dare).
The Telegraph reports that a number of erotic novels have been mysteriously removed from the top selling list of iBooks in the UK, including such titles as "Blonde and Wet, the Complete Story".
The books apparently disappeared from the charts overnight according to the Telegraph, which, with Apple's history of keeping it's devices PG-13, has the Telegraph asking if this is intentional on Apple's part. The paper reached out to some analysts as well:
"Book chart analysts said it was unlikely that all the erotic titles could have dropped out of the list at the same moment without being deliberately removed."
Just to be 100% clear, erotic books, including "Blonde and Wet, the Complete Story" are still available through iBooks (at least in the US, we're checking to 1000% sure for the UK): the story, if true is that the books are no longer on the top charts in the UK.
Apple declined to comment to the Telegraph. Let's for a second say that Apple were to start to intentionally remove erotic content from either the iBook charts and/or altogether (which we're not saying it is or will do either, but just for argument's sake based on its past actions of banning certain apps): this could become a very large issue.
Aside from outright censoring of books, what would it mean for other ebook apps on iOS devices? Does Apple plan to ban the Kindle app because of the kinds of books it sells? And if it doesn't, why wouldn't consumers just buy their erotic novellas from Amazon instead, skipping iBooks all together?
On the other hand, there is the flip side of this story, that Apple is trying to shield children from certain content, and perhaps its solution is to simply not promote these titles on their Top Charts lists without outright banning them from iBooks. Whether or not this is happening (or whether you agree with this approach if it is), again, is all speculation.
We'll certainly keep an eye on this story moving forward and update if anything new comes in.
Notes: We're not 100% sure if this Top Charts was UK specific or not, as the Telegraph wasn't specific. The UK does have it's own list, however, which does not match up the Top Charts in the US.

MHI to Collaborate with Reykjavik Energy of IcelandIn Developing Geothermal Energy Opportunities Worldwide-- Executives of Two Companies Sign MOU in Tokyo --
MHI to Collaborate with Reykjavik Energy of Iceland
In Developing Geothermal Energy Opportunities Worldwide
-- Executives of Two Companies Sign MOU in Tokyo --
Tokyo, April 15, 2010 - Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) and Reykjavik Energy (Orkuveita Reykjavikur: OR), a geothermal electricity producer and multi-utility provider in Iceland, have agreed on joining forces in the development of geothermal energy opportunities globally. Guðlaugur Sverrisson, Chairman of OR, Hjorleifur B. Kvaran, the Icelandic company's CEO, and Ichiro Fukue, Senior Executive Vice President of MHI, today signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) in Tokyo.
OR, one of the world's leading geothermal power generation companies, is looking to promote geothermal energy use globally and has already begun development activities in Africa and elsewhere. With conclusion of the MOU, MHI, the world's foremost manufacturer of geothermal power generation equipment, will now participate in OR's initiative and jointly explore geothermal power generation projects worldwide. Specifically the two companies will collaborate in activities involving identification and verification of geothermal power generation potential, project launch support, development and supply of major equipment, preparation of power plant operation and management guidelines, etc.
The two companies also agreed to collaborate in green energy projects within Iceland, including production of synthetic fuel as a clean alternative fuel for transportation such as ships, and the establishment of an infrastructure for verification testing of electric vehicles (EV). These projects are part of Iceland's various undertakings to realize a zero emissions society, i.e. 0% hydrocarbon fuel emissions, by 2050.
MHI decided to contribute to Iceland's clean energy policy and, together with Mitsubishi Corporation, signed an MOU with the Icelandic government in September 2008. Since then MHI has cooperated in studies of dimethyl ether (DME) production from gas associated with geothermal power generation and the establishment of an EV verification testing infrastructure. The latest MOU on collaboration will further accelerate these initiatives.
OR is the largest geothermal electricity provider in Iceland, the nation ranked No.1 in per capita geothermal power generation worldwide. Through its operation of the country's largest and second-largest geothermal power plants, the company has accumulated vast expertise in the development, planning, operation and management of geothermal power plants.
MHI has enjoyed a solid relationship with OR for two decades as a dependable provider of geothermal power generation equipment. To date MHI has delivered or received orders for a total of 15 geothermal power plants for Iceland, including 13 units to OR, and has delivered more than 100 units globally.
Going forward the two companies will further strengthen their activities to promote utilization of geothermal energy by combining their technologies and know-how.

Hi there and welcome to our career training series. I'm Alex a team member here at myCNAjobs.
In today's caregiver training video, I'm going to share a few best practices to help your patients and clients maintain healthy gums and teeth. We're going to talk about dental hygiene!
Proper care of the mouth and teeth can help prevent things like eating difficulties, digestive problems and extensive dental procedures down the road. However, brushing can sometimes be challenging with seniors and can be a tough part of a caregiver or CNA job.
Sometimes, your clients just don't want to do it, sometimes they don't remember the importance of doing it, and sometimes it just hurts.
So, here's what YOU can do to help.
Instead of saying "hey – go brush your teeth". Help walk your patient through the process. Say things like "hold your toothbrush", now "let's add the toothpaste", and then "let's start with your bottom teeth". Often times breaking up the process will be easier and result in a job well done. The more your client can do themselves, the better. It's tough to lose your independence so your job is to help your client keep it.
Best practice is to brush teeth or dentures after each meal. Gums, tongue, and roof of the mouth should be very gently brushed once per day.
Part of any caregiver job is monitoring for health changes and documenting any changes you see. After each brush, check the seniors teeth and gums to check for bleeding or any unusual bumps. If you see something change, it's important to document it. If you're working for a home care agency, often times, the agency will have forms for you to complete at the start and end of each shift.
Ensure your client gets to the dentist at least every 6 months and more frequently if advised by their dentist. It's important not to miss an appointment as dentists play a critical role in overall good senior health.
Well, that's it folks. Best of luck and I hope this video was helpful. If you like what you saw here and you'd like to access more caregiver training or you're looking for a caregiver or CNA job, you can find free resources at myCNAjobs.com.

Hi there and welcome to our career training series. I'm Autumn and on the team here at myCNAjobs.
We've been getting a lot of questions lately on tips to bath a senior that is suffering from Alzheimer's or Dementia. So in today's training session I'm going to share a few best practices that we've compiled from others in the industry.
Bathing can be one of the most difficult personal care activities that a caregiver does in their job each day. Because bathing is so personal, it can be a hard situation for both the caregiver and the patient. I'm hoping to leave you with some new thinking to make things a little easier.
First, it's important to put yourself in your client's shoes. Many dementia patients are resistant to bathing as they don't remember what bathing is for or it just makes them uncomfortable. Loss of independence can be very difficult so it's important to approach each bath with empathy. If you encounter a senior that is angry and combative, don't take it personally and approach the situation with kindness.
When possible, allow your client to do as much as they can. Have them help you gather bathing supplies, hang towels, turn the heat to a comfortable temperature, and set the water temperature. The more you can prepare your client and involve them in the process, the more smoothly the process is likely to go.
Do you prefer to take a bath now or in 15 minutes?
Do you prefer 4 inches of water or 5?
Do you prefer this shampoo or that shampoo?
The more you power you can give to the patient, the more buy in you'll get in the process making it easier to complete a successful bath.
If the patient becomes agitated, have music ready to play or a song ready to sing. Talk about a topic that is known to make the patient smile or calm down. These are great things to talk about with the patient's family. With some memory loss patients, removing the mirrors in the bathroom can be helpful as it makes the experience feel more private.
When possible, have the client wash where they can. Help coach the client on what and where to clean, guiding them through the process. Talk through the areas that you're going to clean so there are no surprises. Be gentle in your touch and if the client becomes agitated, stop for a moment to control the agitation before continuing.
After the bath, check for rashes and sores as you help get your client dressed. After helping the senior get comfortable, document the bath including things like how the senior did, concerns you have, and if you found anything unusual. If you're working for a home care agency, you'll often have formal documentation to complete after each bath to provide to your employer and the client's family. After your documentation is complete, go have fun! Bathing can be stressful so try to find an activity that is soothing to your client to help them transition.

Hi there and welcome to our career training series. I'm Ruby and I'm one of the recruiters here at myCNAjobs.
Today's training session is to help those exploring a career as a home care caregiver to better understand what a caregiver is, a day in the life of a caregiver, and typical caregiver job duties.
There's never been a better time to explore a career in home care. This is one of the fastest growing professions in America. Our Baby Boomers are aging and more seniors want to age in their home. This means they need caregivers to help care for them.
If you have a caring heart and like caring for other people, being a caregiver can be a very rewarding career to earn a living AND make a difference in the world.
What Is A Homecare Caregiver?
A caregiver that works in a home care setting helps seniors age in place and provide comfort to those that need care. Caregivers may work under the supervision of a RN or LPN to provide care according to a patient's care plan. People that have a love for caring for others, have experience babysitting, or caring for friends and family tend to make great caregivers. If this is you, keep watching!
Where Do Homecare Caregivers Work?
Homecare caregivers work directly in the home of someone needing care. Many caregivers work directly for a homecare agency. The agency helps connect caregivers to people in the local community that need care, manages payroll, scheduling, and overall career development path for a caregiver. Many agencies have job openings for caregivers without any experience as they are willing to train the right people on-the-job. If you want to explore local home care agencies in your area, visit myCNAjobs.com and click on JOBS. You can enter your zip code and search agencies closest to you to get an idea of the opportunities closest to you.
What Do Homecare Caregivers Do?
Homecare caregivers provide one-on-one care to a senior, disabled, or other types of individuals that need short or long term care in their home. Sometimes a patient will just have one caregiver and sometimes a patient may have a few caregivers if they require around the clock care. Here are a few caregiver duties.
Help people with BLS – that means basic living activities. These are things like getting around the house, eating a meal, brushing teeth, going to the bathroom, bathing, combing hair, and staying active. One of the most fun parts of a home care job is getting to know your clients — hearing their stories, taking them to bingo, and joining them in the world for fun activities!
Document your care. Depending on the patient you're working with, you may or may not have a care plan. If you do have a care plan, this will be your guide of what you should do on any given day with your patient. All caregivers typically report on any health condition changes to let your company or the patient's family know what happened that day.
Maintain a tidy environment. An important part of a home care job is helping your patients maintain a tidy living space. It's helpful to the patient and their loved ones if you can help with common chores like making beds, sweeping the floor, and cleaning out the fridge. It's tough for those that are old and sick to do these things so often it's part of how a caregiver can help provide great care for their patient.
Help your clients get around. Some patients need help getting in and out of a wheelchair, to be taken to the salon to get their hair done, or driven to a doctor's appointment. Caregivers helps their patients get to where they need to go. Sometimes this means that caregivers drive a client in their own care, sometimes in a client's care, and sometimes it may mean accompanying them in a rideshare program like uber. The amount and type of transportation you will do will depend on your specific clients.
How Much Do Caregivers Make?
Pay for home care caregiver jobs varies based on your experience, where you live, and where you work. Typically, pay ranges from $9 per hour to $17 per hour. Some companies offer live-in caregiver jobs that allow you to work a few days and earn a full salary. For live-in jobs, we see companies paying $1,000 – $1,300 per week. If you want to learn more about what companies are paying in your area, search jobs at myCNAjobs.com. You can enter your zip code and then see specific companies and pay rates. Our prediction is that caregiver wages will start to increase even more as the demand for certified nursing assistants increases. Also, if you decide to get your CNA license, you typically earn a couple of dollars more per hour.
How Do You Become A Home Caregiver?
To get started, you need to connect with local home care agencies. Each agency is unique and will have different requirements. If you don't have experience, most agencies provide on-the-job training to help you learn basic skills. We've also seen agencies create job shadow programs to allow you to get familiar with what the job is and how you can become excellent at it. Additionally, you can take free caregiver courses online at myCNAjobs.com. After you complete the course, you'll get a certificate to print to bring to an employer to show them all of the new skills you're learning.
How Do You Find A Caregiver Job?
This one is easy. Look online and get out in your community! Chances are good that there are at least a dozen agencies in your backyard. We have a directory you can use at myCNAjobs as well. Visit myCNAjobs.com to search companies by zip code. You can also just call our recruitment team and ask — we can share more about current openings in your area and potentially book you for an interview! Our recruitment number is 312-275-3959.

Hi there and welcome to our career training series. I'm Alex – one of the recruiters here at myCNAjobs.
I talk with hundreds of caregivers each month and I'm asked all the time about how to find local CNA classes. So, in today's training session, I'm going to give you a few tips on how find a good CNA program near you to help grow a career as a certified nursing assistant.
When researching classes to become a CNA, it's critical to check the website for your state's nursing board to ensure the school is state approved. Sadly, there are many CNA programs that are not state approved and if you find yourself at one of these programs you could pay a lot of money and NOT get your license! It's quick and easy to check the state website and an important part of your search to find the best program.
Visit the school, meet their staff, and review their history. You want to find a school that has a rich history in teaching certified nursing assistants. Ask about how long they have been teaching CNAs and who teaches the classes. Get an understanding of the professor's certifications.
Look for a school with high job placement rates. Some CNA schools have a dedicated career counselor to help you navigate your job search. You can ask a school what their placement rate is to get a sense of what to expect. You can search schools that partner with myCNAjobs by visiting myCNAjobs.com and clicking SCHOOLS. Typically schools that partner with us have high placement rates as we're working with them to help place their students in jobs before, during, and after school.
Costs for CNA classes can vary from a few hundred dollars to nearly two thousand dollars. Evaluate your top choices and then look at cost to determine what's in your budget and where you feel you'll get the best education.
If you want to learn more about CNA classes near you, visit myCNAjobs.com. If you want to learn more about working as a caregiver before you attend CNA school, you can give us a call at 312-275-3959.

Hi there Caregivers and welcome to our career training series. I'm Ruby and I'm one of the recruiters here at myCNAjobs.
Today, I'm pleased to talk about best practices when interviewing to help give yourself a leg up in not only getting a job offer, but the job offer you WANT!
I have the privilege of talking with hundreds of caregivers each month and learning what employers like, don't like, and ultimately why they choose to make the hiring decisions they do.
So whether you're watching this for your first caregiver interview or you've been a caregiver for a long time, my goal is to provide you with 8 quick tips to help you land the job you're looking for.
Make sure you have all the logistics squared away before you leave for the interview. Know the address of where you're going, how to get there, how much travel time you need, the parking situation, research the company website ahead of time to learn more about them, get an understanding of the documents the company wants you to bring to an interview, and lastly, know whom to ask for when you arrive.
All of your work history — but keep your resume to no more than 2 pages and ideally 1 page is best. It's best to show little or no gaps between jobs. If you have gaps in work, be prepared to explain how you were progressing your career during those times. If you don't have a lot of experience working as a caregiver or CNA, list personal caregiver experience if you have it — any experience that can show how you've cared for others can be helpful in highlighting why you'd make a great caregiver for a company.
Create a skills section outlining specific skills that are relevant to being a caregiver. Things like: CPR training, hoyer lift experience, being bi-lingual, the ability to cook diabetic friendly meals, or experience bathing a senior. A strong list can help an employer understand exactly what you know how to do today for their clients and patients.
And lastly, a good resume includes 4 to 5 strong references. The best references are past employers or clients that can speak to your work. All references should include the references full name, phone, email, and a brief outline of how you know the person.
Once you have a resume in place, have someone review it to ensure there are not any spelling or grammatical errors. Then, print two copies and go to your interview prepared to talk through it. If you want more resume advice, there are free resources available at myCNAjobs.com.
Arrive to the interview 5 to 10 minutes early. Companies tell us that many caregivers arrive a late for an interview and it turns them off. Many companies rely on caregivers to care for their clients in their homes or in a facility setting, meaning that getting someplace on time is critical in providing great care. So, show up 5 to 10 minutes early and wait in the parking lot if you're earlier than this. It's also bad to be too early. Map out directions the night before and always check traffic so you allow enough time to commute. When you arrive, indicate that you excited to be interviewing and let the receptionist know who you'll be meeting with. Be sure to be warm and kind to everyone you meet — this is your opportunity to shine and make a first impression.
When the interview starts, let the interviewer know that you're excited to be there. Share that you have researched their company and you're happy to learn more about their opportunities. Ensure that the employer gets to know you, your background, and what you can bring to the table before you start diving into your questions.
Answer each question to the best of your ability, honestly, and show your passion. It's important to talk about why you got into caregiving, why you are choosing this as a career, and why you think you'd be a great candidate for the job. Employers want to hire caregivers that a have a true passion for the industry. Sometimes interviews can be stressful and your passion for what you do can get buried. It's important to show your excitement about caring for seniors and to come prepared with stories of how and why you feel you can positively impact a seniors life through your work.
There are a lot companies in the area that do what you do — how are you different?
How long do your caregivers typically stay on board with you? It's important for me to find a company where I can stick around for awhile.
Can you share details on your starting wage, opportunities to grow wages, and your benefits package?
Do you have any clients or patients right now that you feel I'd be a good fit for?
When you leave the interview, say thank you! Let the interviewer that you appreciate their time. And always remember to get the business cards of everyone you meet with. After the interview, drive straight to a computer and send a follow-up email! You're much more likely to get hired and get the cases you want with a prompt follow-up message. Companies love this and it shows your commitment.
Well that's it folks. Thanks for attending our session today. If you want more tips on how to become a caregiver or take your career to the next level, you can find additional videos and resources on myCNAjobs.
Until next time – best of luck in your job search!

Hi all – today, we're taking a tour of Mississippi. Here's the downlow on everything you need to know related to becoming a CNA.
In order to work at any facility as a CNA, a Mississippi state approved certification needs to be obtained. The Mississippi State Department of Health, Bureau of Health Facilities Licensure and Certification, requires all nursing assistants to complete training and the competency exam before they can be employed and listed on the nurse aide registry. Mississippi follows the federal regulations which allows a grace period of 120 days (4 months) where a nurse aide can provide direct care services while being in the training program.However, you must meet the requirements for training and testing within four months of being hired as a nurse aide.
1. Enroll in a state certified school.
2. Complete the training. Take practice CNA exam(this step is optional and may be included within certain CNA courses).
3. Register to take the state CNA exam.
4. Once you pass the exam, apply for desired jobs!
In order to attend CNA training in the state of Mississippi, the individual needs to be able to understand, read and speak English. Mississippi CNA students must be at least 18 years old. CNA also must be able to pass a criminal background check and have up to date immunization records. Nurse Aide Training in Mississippi costs between $800 and $2,500. The pre-certification training requires a minimum of 75 hours of training.
The written exam is comprised of 70 multiple-choice questions, which you must complete in 120 minutes. You can request the oral exam when you apply. The oral exam contains 60 multiple-choice questions and 10 reading comprehension English questions to test your understanding of common English words.
The 25-minute skills evaluation tests your performance of 5 skills; hand washing and four other skills assigned at random. You must successfully complete all five skills in order to pass the exam. The nurse evaluator will expect you to perform the critical steps in each skill.
If you're an out-of-state CNA, you can transfer your license to Mississippi through reciprocity. You're eligible for reciprocity only if your prior training and competency requirements in your old state are in line with OBRA '87 regulations.
The DOH will disapprove your application if there are findings of neglect and abuse on your record.

In order to attend CNA training in the state of New Hampshire, you'll need to understand, read and speak English and have a naturally compassionate nature. Programs require for you to be at least 16 years old, able to pass a background check, have a medical exam, and have proof of immunization as well as government-issued ID card. An individual can work as a CNA while waiting for the state exam for up to 120 days. CNA training program costs can range from $200 and up.
If you are a current RN, LPN or have a CNA certification within a different state you are able to simply take the CNA exam without training.
CNA training includes a written competency test as well as a skills evaluation test. You can take this test after completion of CNA classes. New Hampshire's Board of Nursing has three approved competency testing agencies: Pearson Vue, Excel Testing, and the American Red Cross. The written exam contains 70 multiple-choice questions written in English. Candidates have 120 minutes to complete all questions. If you have difficulty reading English, you can request the oral exam at the time of application. The oral exam contains 60 multiple choice test questions and 10 multiple choice questions that test your understanding of common English words.For the skills assessment, your performance will be rated on the completion of five (5) skills. One of the skills will be Hand washing, and the remaining four will be assigned at random from the list of nursing assistant skills.
Provide proof of at least 200 hours of nurse assistant service within two years prior to the application.

minimum of 80 hours of classroom and 75 hours of clinical training for CNA I certification.
Graduating from a state-accredited training program does not imply automatic state certification – students must first pass the state's written and skills exam with a grade of 75 percent or more to obtain a listing on the registry.
Community colleges and private institutions account for more than 75 percent of the programs approved by the OSBN. The cost of training at these institutions is approximately $1000, but there will be associated costs such as reading tests, lab fee, textbook, CPR certification, uniform, certification fee and other costs. Unlike other states, Oregon has several approved online programs, which have variable costs.
-Fingerprinting, immunization, and a drug screen may be required for clinical placement.
Submit the endorsement application along with the required documents.
In order to become a nurse aid in Rhode Island you must complete state-approved nurse aide training programs. The state will then test your knowledge and evaluate your skills via the competency evaluation. Nurse aides who pass both the written and skill components receive their license to work and a listing on the Rhode Island Nurse Aide Registry.
The Rhode Island Competency exams is administered by Pearson Vue – the administering body for the state exam. The exam will test your knowledge and competency skills, and you must pass both components in order to obtain your license. The two-part test consists of a written examination and skills evaluation both administered on the same day.
The skills evaluation tests your skills in a mock-healthcare setting. The center provides all the equipment to perform the assigned tasks, and you must complete all 5 skills within the allotted time. The testing center selects 4 skills at random and will ask you to demonstrate your hand washing techniques (for the fifth skill).
Submit proof of your certification. The training in your home state must cover at least 100 hours of training.
Hi all – today, we're taking a tour of Vermont. Here's the downlow on everything you need to know related to becoming a CNA.
In order to work at any facility as a CNA, a Vermont state approved certification needs to be obtained. Vermont let's nurse assistants work for a period of 4 months, without a license while pursuing training and state certification. The 4-month period is non-renewable, so you must successfully pass the state exam during this initial period. Nursing students (enrolled in state-approved programs), foreign nurses, and military-trained personnel can apply directly to the Board for exemption from training and take the state certification exam for placement on the registry.
In order to attend CNA training in the state of Vermont, the individual needs to be able to understand, read and speak English. A high school diploma is not required to enroll in most CNA training programs. However, the school reserves the right to request a copy of your high school transcript or GED equivalent. Many schools will administer a pre-enrollment exam before admission to evaluate your reading, comprehension, and basic math skills. You must be at least 16 years old, pass a criminal background check, and attend a mandatory information session before classes begin. Vermont's Board of Nursing approved training programs provide at least 75 hours of training divided into classroom and hands-on lab and work in a clinical setting. The tuition at Vermont's colleges, universities, and private institutions costs an average of $650.
Pearson Vue administers the two-part nurse aide competency evaluation to Vermont's candidates. First-time testers must take both components of the exam, written (or oral) and skills evaluation, on the same day. Candidates have up to two years after training or three attempts to pass the exam for placement on the registry. The written exam contains 70 multiple-choice questions written in English. If you have difficulty reading English, you can request the oral exam. The oral exam contains 60 multiple-choice questions and 10 reading comprehension questions to test your understanding of common English words. The duration of the written exam is 2 hours.
The second part of the exam is the 30-minute skills evaluation tests your performance of 5 nurse assistant skills; handwashing and 4 others selected at random. You must perform the critical steps in each skill in order to pass the exam.
If you wish to transfer your license to Vermont, you must complete an application for endorsement.
Note: If there are findings of abuse or neglect on your record, the registry will deny your application for transfer.


Kawasaki, Japan, September 19, 2018: Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd. today announced that it has developed an ultra-high capacity wavelength-division multiplexing system that considerably expands the transmission capacity of optical fibers in optical networks connecting datacenters. The new technology achieves this without the deployment of new transceivers dedicated to new wavelength.
Previously, in order to expand transmission capacity between datacenters, operators had to either increase the number of optical fibers being used, or they needed receivers supporting each band of wavelengths. Now, Fujitsu Laboratories has developed the world's first broadband wavelength conversion technology that can batch convert C-band(1) optical signals to new wavelength bands, including L-band and S-band, reconverting them back to the original C-band when received. Upon development of a system that converts optical signals in C-band to L- and S-bands before multiplexing and transmitting them utilizing this innovative technology, Fujitsu Laboratories successfully demonstrated in principle that transmission capacity could be tripled.
This allows datacenter operators to use existing equipment as-is to raise the efficiency of optical fiber utilization and thereby expand transmission capacity. This promises to eliminate the kind of network bottlenecks that could pose challenges for high-volume users that need to store, back up, or perform parallel analysis on large volumes of data distributed between multiple datacenters. This includes cases that many expect to increase dramatically in the near future, such as transfers of unstructured data including 8K video material and device log information connected through 5G networks.
Expanding transmission capacities between datacenters can be accomplished by increasing the number of optical fibers, however, additional fees would be assessed based on the number of optical fibers used, presenting a significant cost burden for operators.
On the other hand, what could also be considered is the simultaneous use of new wavelength bands outside the C-band. Optical networks generally use the C-band for its good transmission performance, but for medium-distance transmissions of several dozen kilometers between datacenters, the impact of transmission loss with the use of other wavelength bands, such as the L-band or the S-band, is seen as quite small, and consideration may also be given to using these wavelength bands. However, this method would necessitate the separate development of transceivers that could support each band.
To address these challenges, Fujitsu Laboratories developed an ultra-large transmission capacity optical wavelength-division multiplexing system (a patent application was filed) that batch converts C-band optical signals output by a transmitter into new wavelengths for transmission, and then converts them back to the original wavelength band before sending them to the receiver.
First, the C-band optical signal is combined with two pump lights(2) , generating a signal with mixed wavelength. The pump lights change the signal's refractive index of a nonlinear optical medium which the signal passes through and outputs converted signals at a different wavelength. A similar principle is used on the receiver side to return the transmitted optical signal to the C-band.
With this newly developed technology, it becomes possible to convert an optical signal to an arbitrary wavelength band efficiently by choosing the wavelengths of two pump lights, based on the chromatic dispersion characteristics of various nonlinear optical media. Additionally, this technology can reduce the noise superimposed on the signal after wavelength conversion by synchronously controlling the pump lights. This means it can simultaneously convert the signal's wavelength efficiently while maximizing the quality of the optical signal.
Using this technology, Fujitsu Laboratories created a prototype system to convert an optical signal in C-band to L- and S-bands, and then multiplexed them for transmission, successfully confirming in principle that this technology could triple available wavelength without the use of transceivers for each new wavelength band. Using this technology, transmissions using an even greater variety of different bands become possible, allowing for the expansion of transmission capacity from two to 10 times, as needed.
In addition to this technology, datacenter operators can immediately make use of new C-band transceivers that will be developed going forward in wavelength bands outside the C-band.
 C-band - A wavelength band used for optical transmissions defined by ITU-T, the Telecommunication Standardization Sector of the International Telecommunication Union. The C-band refers to wavelengths of 1,530-1,565 nm, while the L-band covers 1,565-1,625 nm and the S-band covers 1,460-1,530 nm.
 Pump light - A light that induce modulation on optical signal through refractive index change in nonlinear optical media.

I read the blog title as "Hidden Surprise Inside".
I do enjoy most of your work.


Have you ever looked at a vacation property, knew it would appreciated in value over time, plus felt confident you could fill it with renters most of the year?
For example, I once knew an unassuming Puget Sound couple who were early investors in several high-tech start-ups. On the weekends, they bought fixer investment properties, remodeled them and held them for long-term rentals.
One day, the couple attended a wedding near the historic mission in Santa Barbara. A representative at the reception venue—a large home within walking distance from the mission—told the couple the venue was booked every weekend and most mid-week nights during the summer and much of the spring and fall. The representative said the demand for the place was so great, she wished she had access to several more homes.
The couple shopped and bought a similar home, refurbished it, rented it out and it is now the cornerstone of their real estate investments. They have never spent a night in the house.
Savvy investors buy assets because they foresee significant potential. Often, the "upside" is considerable, be it an undervalued stock, unpopular bond or unknown baseball player waiting for an opportunity to help a new franchise.
While you cannot purchase a baseball player with an individual retirement account, you can buy stocks, bonds and real estate. In fact, you can even finance a real estate IRA if you have a sizeable down payment and can document monthly income from tenants.
The challenge with real estate IRAs has been lack of funds to make a meaningful purchase. Historically, real estate IRAs have been purchased with cash and the trust then held the property free and clear. One way to crack a huge financial nut was to get several investors to buy shares in one property.
Now some banks are discovering the real estate IRA niche and granting a "non-recourse loan" to the trustee for specific properties. Non-recourse means if the loan goes into default and the lender needs to foreclose, the property would be the only asset the lender could claim. It's similar to a non-judicial foreclosure where the property becomes the lender's only focus.
North American Savings Bank (www.nasb.com) is one national lender offering loan programs specifically designed for the non-recourse financing requirements for purchases and refinances of rental properties. Representatives from the bank say they continue to get requests for customers seeking financing to purchase investment properties, allowing for diversification without tying up other retirement funds.
The bank has provided mortgages for single-family homes, multi-family dwellings, commercial properties – even an RV park. Raw land loans are problematic because there is no income from monthly rents.
Non-recourse loans typically are available for both purchasing and refinancing properties – including "cash-back" refinances that are structured to pull money out of one property for investment in another. Fixed-rate loans are the most common, yet three- and five-year adjustable rate-mortgages also are available.
The only advantage generally associated with judicial foreclosure is that it may be possible to obtain a deficiency judgment against the owner if the proceeds from the sale of the property are insufficient to satisfy the debt. A judicial foreclosure is usually more costly and time consuming because it requires court proceedings.
The typical customer of an IRA leveraged loan usually has significant other assets. However, the lender is not making the loan to an individual; it is making it to the IRA. It's a different twist with different possibilities and guidelines.
Where the loan absolutely makes sense is with a small, traditional investment property like a duplex, tri-plex or four-plex in a good location. Unlike a vacation destination, income is not dependent upon seasons. Rents would flow to a self-directed program administrator who would then make the monthly mortgage payment to the IRA-leveraged loan lender. The administrator also would make payments on taxes and insurance.
As mentioned previously, you cannot use IRA money to buy your own residence or any other property in which you live. It must be investment property. But when you retire, you can direct your IRA to turn it over to you as a distribution at the current market value.

V2.0 (November 17, 2017)
The following is a sketch depicting a possible keyboard interaction for the Faraday's Law simulation (link to Faraday's Law Simulation at PhET). Understanding speed of magnet movement as it relates to flux is an important learning outcome, and this sketch aims to minimize the dexterity / motor function required to successfully gain the learning outcomes.
In the current simulation, the speed of which the magnet moves is directly correlated to the user's physical ability to manipulate the input device. This requires significant dexterity and motor function to accomplish.
In this design sketch, once the user as chosen a direction, the magnet will move in that direction on its own (continuously) like an object floating through space. The user can then choose to increase or decrease the magnet's movement speed (like a throttle), stop, or immediately reverse direction. By allowing the magnet to move on its own, this enables the user to focus on direction and speed without requiring significant motor control or dexterity.
NOTE: Text descriptions of images currently being updated.
Image 1 above: The initial screen for Faraday's law.
Image 2 above: Keyboard focus placed on the magnet.
Image 3 above: Enter is pressed and the user can begin to move the magnet in a direction they choose.
Image 4 above: User has pressed the left arrow key once, and the magnet begins creeping to the left by itself. A single arrow appears in the direction the magnet is moving that indicates it direction and speed.
Image 5 above: User has pressed the left arrow again, and the magnet increases its speed. Two arrows now appear in the direction the magnet is moving to indicate its direction and moderate speed.
Image 6 above: User has pressed the left arrow again, and the magnet is now moving at its maximum speed. Three arrows now appear in the direction the magnet is moving to indicate its direction and maximum speed.
Image 7 above: The user can stop the movement of the magnet any time by pressing ESC, Enter, or any direction key other than the direction they are moving in. The intention is to make it easy to stop movement and give control to the user.
Image 8 above: The user has tapped the right arrow key three times, so the magnet is now moving right at a fast speed by itself.
Image 9 above: The user can reverse the direction any time by pressing the spacebar. This way the student can experiment with speed and movement easily with the spacebar (easy to press) and a few taps of the arrow keys.
Image 10 above: To summarize, the arrow keys control the direction of travel. Once the magnet begins to move, it will continue to do so on its own. It can increase its speed with subsequent presses of the arrow key, switch directions, or stop.
Possible Design issues
The "Wild Ride" phenomenon
How many steps in the throttle?
Instead of stopping the magnet if a different direction key is pressed, what if the magnet continued moving in the new direction at the same speed?
What would it be like to have two modes for keyboard interaction: standard cursor control style of interaction, and this "throttle" control scheme?
Evolving Design Idea
Idea is to have a control scheme inspired by 80's video games like Snake and Asteroids.
Controlling Movement and Direction:
Movement and speed is controlled by the direction keys.
Once a direction key is pressed, it will continue to move on its own in that direction.
Direction can be changed at any time by pressing any of the other direction keys
Changing directions does not change its speed - it continues at the speed it was traveling at.
Controlling Speed:
Speed is controlled by dedicated keys like CTRL and ALT to increase and decrease, or 1 - 2 - 3 to change speeds to slow, moderate, and fast.
Stop is controlled by space bar (or some other key)
Unlike the v2.0 sketch above, this evolving design idea uses the direction keys to control just the direction - making it simpler to understand and control. Speed is mapped to another set of keys making it easier to just focus on movement once you have a speed you like.
Image 1 Above: Initial view
Image 2 Above: User has pressed tab and focus is moved to the magnet.
Image 3 Above: User has pressed Enter, and the magnet is now able to be moved using keyboard.
Image 4 Above: User is in a move state and is also pressing a modifier key, the magnet moves in larger steps. The arrows on the magnet change to visually indicate the change.
Image 5 Above: User is holding a different modifier key, the magnet moves in smaller steps. The arrows on the magnet change to visually indicate this change.
Image 6 Above: Describes a possible issue with keyboard interaction and speed of moving the magnet.
Current is related to the speed of magnet movement.
Faster the magnet moves, the greater the current.
Slower the magnet moves, the smaller the current.
In this scenario to the left, it will take a keyboard user 4 keystrokes to move to the other side of the coil (as indicated by the green dots).
If the user has sufficient motor acuity, they can move the magnet quickly by holding down the modifier and repeated tapping of keys.
If the user does not have sufficient motor acuity, it will be difficult"


After many years of lobbying by Icelandic and international experts from WCPA, the Icelandic Minister for Environment and Natural Resources, Björt Ólafsdóttir has just announced the enhanced protection status of one of the most important ice caps and adjacent wetland areas in the highlands of Iceland, embracing the Hofsjökull icecap and outlet glaciers and the wetland of Thjorsarver (Þjórsárver).
The Order for the change in status of the protected area explains that "The objective of the enhanced protection is to ensure an extensive and effective protection of the nature of Þjórsárver as a whole, natural habitats of the wetlands, palsa mire habitats, nesting areas of pink footed geese, wilderness, extraordinary landscape as a whole and cultural artefacts, as well as educating the public on the value of protecting the area. This designation should protect natural diversity, water flow and wetlands stemming from the glacial meltwater, including the vegetation mosaics and habitats of Þjórsárver which are the largest, most diverse and continuous natural oasis of the highlands and an important habitat for animals and plants. Cultural artefacts, for example goose roundup enclosures and ruins of shelters built by outlaws, are also strictly protected."
Particular emphasis is to be placed on the strict protection according to the laws of nature for the area as a whole and especially for the sensitive palsas (ice-cored blister with limited vegetation cover).
The area is governed by a committee representing the local municipalities who have traditional rights and current responsibilities in the area, scientific experts from the national agency and from the university, and is headed by the national nature agency.
"The protection now afforded, including restriction on access and bans on hunting, fully accords with IUCN protected area management Category II status" says Roger Crofts, former IUCN WCPA Vice Chair for Europe. He adds that "although many of us wished for a much larger area to be proteccted, we accept that the current area is better than previously and we will work with the authorities to extend it."

Q: Computing $\sum_{i=1}^k{i\cdot c^i}$
I would like to compute the following sum :
  $$\sum_{i=1}^k{i\cdot c^i}$$
  where $k$ and $c$ are any real numbers.

I know how to compute $i$ and $c^i$ separately but I don't know how to do it when they are multiplied together.
Thanks a lot for the help!

A: Hint:
Do some analysis:
$$\sum_{i=1}^k ic^i=c\sum_{i=1}^kic^{i-1}=c\Bigl(\sum_{i=0}^k c^i\Bigr)'. $$

A: Let $Z=\sum_{i=1}^kc^i$, then (derivative with respect to $c$), $Z'=\sum_{i=1}^kic^{i-1}$. When multiplied with $c$, we get your question, i.e. we want $cZ'$. You can easily substitute $Z=\frac{1-c^{k+1}}{1-c}-1$.

A: Hint: Let $a,q$ be real numbers with $q\ne 1$:
$$a + aq + aq^2 + \ldots +aq^{n-1} = a\frac{q^n-1}{q-1}.$$

Q: Mimicking iOS 6 camera rotation I have been doing some experiments with a custom camera using AVFoundation and so far everything's been great. The AVCam example got me very far and I am quite happy with the results.
However, one thing I still don't get is how the iOS default Camera app handles rotations. It seems like the background does not rotate at all but all the overlay controls do.
This is probably not a camera-specific question but how could I achieve this behaviour?
TLDR: Have a background camera layer, controls on top, how to rotate controls without rotating the background layer?

A: I've been wondering on the same...
My guess would be that the native Camera viewController doesn't rotate using the UIViewController rotation mechanism

*

*no status bar rotation

Q: Hibernate Code Generation Eclipse: using the property hibernate.default_catalog different code generation in case of id autoincrement I'm using the Eclipse tool to generate the code.
My database has a table with primary key "id" int(11) auto_increment.
The tool generates an id like this:
...
@Table(name = "USERS", catalog = "myDatabase", uniqueConstraints = @UniqueConstraint(columnNames = "mail"))
...
    private Integer id;
...
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = IDENTITY)

    @Column(name = "id", unique = true, nullable = false)
    public Integer getId() {
        return this.id;
    }
...

Needing to remove the reference to the database ("catalog" in the "Table" annotation), I insert the "hibernate.default_catalog" property in the hibernate.cfg.xml file. Regenerating the classes, the id of the table is considered of type int and the resulting code is the following:
...
@Table(name = "USERS", uniqueConstraints = @UniqueConstraint(columnNames = "mail"))
...
    private int id;
...
    @Id

    @Column(name = "id", unique = true, nullable = false)
    public int getId() {
        return this.id;
    }
...

How do I have a class with the id of type Integer and not have the database reference ("catalog" in the "Table" annotation)?

Album Review: Neal Schon - 'Vortex'.
Neal Schon needs little introduction. A former member of Santana, and co-founder of AOR legends Journey, the guitarist has achieved incredible success in the last forty years. With Journey still active and showing no signs of slowing down, 'Vortex' then is then a labour of love for its creator. Roping in, among others sometime Journey-man Steve Smith on drums as well as keyboardist Jan Hammer, the band have recorded what Schon says is not one, but two album new albums. With eighteen tracks spread across two CDs, it's a release that certainly delivers value for money.
Musically, 'Vortex' doesn't stray too far stylistically from the Journey template. What Schon does is paint the instrumental equivalent of Journey's music; creating catchy, melodic songs that you can hum in the shower, only with the vocals being replaced by guitar wizardry. This may give Schon room to flex his not inconsiderable musical muscle, however it doesn't mean that 'Vortex' is an album of endless, needless over the top soloing. These tracks are sonic vistas, widescreen aural tapestries, and sounds of space and depth. Covering a wide variety of styles from acoustic to jazz to flamenco and of course, rock, it's an album of surprising variety.
The first half of the album really showcases Schon's ability to cover all these bases convincingly. Kicking off with the eastern-flavoured 'Miles Beyond', its hypnotic intro lulls the listener into a false sense of serenity before being hit full force with a riff as heavy as anything the guitarist has ever recorded. With some thrilling playing, it sets the scene deceptively for what is to come. 'Awakening', which follows, opens in complete contrast, with dream-state acoustic picking giving way to some truly soaring soloing. Changing tack again, 'Cuban Fly Zone', and lead-off single 'El Matador' meanwhile focus firmly on Schon's Latino influences. While the former concentrates firmly on the electric guitar, the later adds flourishes of Spanish-style acoustics, which really hammer home the overall Flamenco affect.
It may be a solo album, but it's not only Schon who gets the chance to shine. Bringing with it a change of pace, the solo piano piece 'Eternal Love' – played by Igor Len - is achingly beautiful, carrying with it the essence of classic Journey ballads. 'In A Cloud' continues in this more relaxed vein, ebbing on the kind of pulse that could send the listener into a trance. It's a mood that resonates throughout the album, not least on centrepiece 'Tortured Souls'. With a running time of ten minutes-plus, it's 'Vortex's hazy, melodious epic.
Disc two might be where some artists would choose to bury their weaker material. However, it's far from the case here, as the breath-taking 'Unspoken Faith' proves. Unaccompanied by percussion, the keys and guitars soar, over yet another wondrous melody. With melody never taking a back seat to technique throughout the album, it all makes for a very enjoyable listening experience.
With memorable hooks, dazzling technique and a production reminiscent of 'Extremist'-era Joe Satriani – a genre high-water mark - 'Vortex' is as good an instrumental guitar album that anyone is likely to make all year. There may be plenty for instrumental guitar fanatics to enjoy, however those who are not might be surprised at how much there is to enjoy. A different type of journey, but a remarkable one.

WellPoint is most difficult to work with, hospital execs say
Bad news strikes WellPoint again--after its CEO Angela Braly's management has been scrutinized, the nation's second largest insurer now also is the least popular insurer, according to a survey of more than 400 hospital executives.
Of the six largest for-profit insurers, WellPoint came in last place as hospital execs gave it low marks for rejected claims and wrongly-denied bills. Only 27 percent of execs viewed WellPoint favorably, representing WellPoint's worst showing in the survey's six-year run, reported Bloomberg.
Conducted by ReviveHealth, the survey asked hospital leaders to rank insurers on such topics as image, reputation, contract negotiations and claims-processing.
"Hospitals say WellPoint is just exceptionally difficult to deal with," ReviveHealth President Brandon Edwards told Bloomberg. "Even though they're only present in about one-third of the states, they were still rated the absolute worst overall."
WellPoint took the title of worst-ranked insurer from UnitedHealthcare, which has slowly been improving its relationship with hospitals and providers. For the second straight year, UnitedHealth improved to a 44 percent overall approval rate, but it still scored lower than WellPoint in many individual categories, including honesty and candor, timeliness and responsiveness, and processing and paying claims, ReviveHealth said.
"We continue to strengthen our relationships with care providers across the country," Unitedhealthcare Spokesman Daryl Richard told Bloomberg. "Productive, collaborative relationships between physicians and companies like UnitedHealthcare are important if we are going to make progress together."
On the flip side, the survey found Cigna had the best reputation, with 71 percent of hospital execs liking the insurer. It also was considered "the best payer to deal with" for the second year in a row.
"Cigna's continued strong performance in the ReviveHealth study reflects the company's commitment to becoming the partner of choice for hospitals and health care professionals by listening to and acting on their needs, pursuing continuous improvement, and making significant improvements in technology and claims payment processes," Julie Vayer, Cigna vice president for Total Health & Network Operations, said in a statement to FierceHealthPayer.

The Algorithmic Justice League might not get a Marvel movie anytime soon, but they are the (s)heroes our AI-driven world needs right now. Artificial Intelligence is already inextricable from our daily lives, influencing what we buy (and how much we pay), who we vote for, even whether or not we are stopped by police. After MIT Media Lab's Joy Buolamwini revealed the racial and gender biases built into facial recognition software, she teamed up with other concerned academics to impact legislation before these algorithms do further damage. Aided by other forward thinkers that include Harvard's Cathy O'Neil and Silkie Carlo of the UK's Big Brother Watch, documentarian Shalini Kantayya follows Buolamwini's quest, along the way demystifying the esoteric material with easily digestible, if chilling, real-world illustrations. Clips from familiar science-fiction movies sprinkled throughout add pop culture levity to the warning that AI's dystopia is not some distant future to be dreaded. For most of us, it is already here.
Filmmaker Shalini Kantayya's Coded Bias premiered at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival. She directed for the National Geographic television series Breakthrough, executive produced by Ron Howard, broadcast globally in June 2017. Her debut, Catching the Sun, premiered at the LA Film Festival and was named a NY Times Critics' Pick. Catching the Sun released globally on Netflix on Earth Day 2016 with executive producer Leonardo DiCaprio, and was nominated for the Environmental Media Association Award for Best Documentary. Kantayya is a TED Fellow, a William J. Fulbright Scholar, and an Associate of the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism.

Winning The West
Street Date: June 1, 2015
Style: Pacific North West Rock
Official Site: www.ergorexmusic.com
Ergo Rex has been making their brand of rock music for about half a decade now, starting with a 2010 album called The Risk of Tragedy. It had a lot of promise, but was ultimately underwhelming. Their follow-up album, Breathe in the Roar was a step in the right direction, and that trend continues with their 2015 EP, Winning the West. The fourpiece is in full creative force and has presented their best work yet.
Ergo Rex finds themselves on the more creative side of the spectrum this time around, and it shows from the very beginning. "Empires of Venus" features some atmospheric guitar licks, but also bears a resemblance to the one-album wonder Strange Occurrence. The song sounds other-worldly, as lead vocalist Preston Carmack lets his dreams pour out into the lyrics, as he does occasionally throughout the EP. "East of the Sun, West of the Moon" is a little more vague: it's an encouraging song ("Little birdy you're brave, you're a lion in a feather suit"), but it's not readily apparent where the band is referring to in the titular line "I know a place where we can run, east of the sun, west of the moon." However, a little crypticism isn't necessarily a bad thing. On the other hand, "cryptic" is the last word I would use for the following track, "A Swiftly Tilting Planet," which is directly aimed at the devil. Ergo Rex calls him out in the mild rocker, reminding him that, when our Lord Jesus comes back, he will be held accountable for all the evil in the world, and that he can't hide from it.
"Majestic 12" seems to be the only weak spot on Winning the West; I do enjoy some of the rockier aspects, but it also seems as if the band was crawling through the shadow of bands like Red and Kutless and Thousand Foot Krutch and picking up inspiration along the way. The idea is solid, but the end result is weak, and it doesn't really fit well with the other five songs. Fortunately, the clear cut highlight of the EP comes up next, "The Man With The Morning In His Eyes." I adore the tranquil waters of the verses, and the melody and falsetto in the chorus are simply moving and comforting. Ultimately, the song deals with the loss of a loved one, but the it focuses more on the wonderful legacy left behind as opposed to the grief often associated with death. "Whisper and Roar" brings the EP to a close, focusing on the Lord and His love. From loneliness and despair and begging God for forgiveness, to responding to God's invitation to spend time in prayer, it's an honest and heartfelt song that is a perfect way to cap it all off.
After lending my ear to all of Ergo Rex's past albums, it's become clear that these guys have found themselves. In an age of the music industry where high quality bands are finding it easier and more tempting to sell out for fame and money, it's a breath of fresh air to come across a band that is actively seeking to improve their craft. Kudos to Ergo Rex for never giving up on becoming the best band they can be, and for releasing a solid and surprisingly - albeit relatively - experimental album. Check out Winning the West (which is currently free on their website!), and hopefully you'll enjoy it as well.

How to continue with this?
Thanks!

A: The easiest way is to run your application under debugger, then most recent android studio is really good at debugging c++ code. For instructions how to debug jni code, find Create Hello-JNI with Android Studio in google code labs.
Other solution is to look into logcat, you might find there reason for the crash. For example you can find lines like
I/DEBUG   ( 8704): signal 11 (SIGSEGV), fault addr deadbaad
...
...

which will contain call stack for the location where crash happend. With that information you can use ndk-stack - tool (see here ndk-stack), to turn frame addresses into symbolic names.
Android will put into logcat other warnings/jni error that might help you find a location of the problem.
