Amazon Alexa Care Hub update helps in caring for family members
– Advertisement – Amazon Alexa is introducing a new feature called Care Hub, designed to make help people to care for aging family members.The company said it has been hearing from customers for years about using Alexa’s voice assistant to monitor aging relatives, who are increasingly looking to stay in their residences rather than move to a nursing home. The shift has created a more than $30 billion market for assistive technology, according to the Consumer Technology Association.- Advertisement – Amazon has been looking into the aging space for years, at one point discussing a potential collaboration with AARP, a lobbying group that represents the interests of people over 50. Reid acknowledged that it’s “day one” for Amazon moving into the space, and that there’s a lot more the company can do to help seniors age in place.Reid said the company has been working on the product for about 18 months, but it has taken on a new importance given that so many people are staying at home with Covid-19 and unable to see their relatives in person. The company has been beta testing the product with Amazon employees and their own loved ones in the past few months, before opening it up to its broader population of users.
As of Wednesday, customers with an Alexa voice assistant can link their account to an aging loved one’s Alexa account. If the family member accepts the invitation, their caregiver can send alerts and view their relative’s activity feed. That feed is more of a high-level summary that includes basic information such as lights being used in the home rather than a way to spy on parents.There’s also an emergency contact feature where the loved one can simply say “Alexa, call for help.” Alexa will then send an immediate push notification to the caregiver.“Once that connection is established, the care recipient doesn’t need to do anything and can go about their day as normal,” said Toni Reid, vice president of Alexa Experiences and Echo Devices. “What the caregiver gets is some peace of mind.”- Advertisement –

NIH responds to worries about Boston biodefense lab
The agency said it has set up an internal committee to guide its efforts to address safety concerns and also has named a panel of independent experts to review existing risk assessments and provide technical guidance. The lab is partly funded by the NIH. Mar 6, 2008 (CIDRAP News) The National Institutes of Health (NIH) today announced the appointment of two committees to help address public worries about the safety of a biodefense laboratory under construction in Boston, 3 months after the National Research Council (NRC) sharply criticized an NIH risk assessment of the project. The NRC also said the NIH had glossed over environmental justice concerns related to the lab’s inner-city location. The lab is a biosafety level 4 (BSL-4) facility, meaning it can handle the most dangerous pathogens. It will focus on developing diagnostics, treatments, and vaccines for both naturally occurring and intentionally introduced infectious diseases, according to the NIH. The facility is being built at Boston University Medical Center. Today the NIH said it has set up an internal coordinating committee “to guide the agency’s efforts to address safety concerns raised by community representatives and other members of the public,” as well as the NRC review of the supplementary risk assessment. Last November the NRC, an arm of the National Academies, asserted that an NIH risk assessment for the lab was “not sound and credible.” The NRC faulted the modeling in the risk assessment for “lack of transparency” and criticized the selection of pathogens for the scenarios in the risk assessment, saying the NIH should have chosen agents with higher transmission rates. The pathogens used in the assessment included Ebola hemorrhagic fever virus, monkeypox virus, Sabia hemorrhagic fever virus, and Rift Valley fever virus. Ellen Berlin, a spokeswoman for Boston Medical Center, welcomed the NIH’s announcement today, according to a report by the Boston Globe. “We are confident that the lab will be safe, and this third-party examination is an important step in the public process,” Berlin said. “NIH is doing everything necessary to minimize the potential risks to the surrounding community,” Zerhouni said. “We will not compromise the public’s safety in our pursuit of the public’s health.” The NIH also said it has named a 16-member blue-ribbon panel to “review current risk assessments and provide independent technical expertise and guidance.” In particular, the group will advise the NIH on the scope of any additional environmental risk assessment. The panel is chaired by Adel Mahmoud, MD, PhD, of Princeton University and includes experts on infectious diseases, public health and epidemiology, risk assessment, environmental justice, risk communication, biodefense, biosafety, and infectious disease modeling. Serving as a working group of the Advisory Committee to the NIH Director, the panel will hold its first public meeting Mar 13, officials said. Dec 5, 2007, CIDRAP News story “Panel faults NIY risk assessment for Boston biodefense lab” See also: “All of the analyses conducted to date indicate that the risks posed by this lab are extremely low,” NIH Director Elias Zerhouni, MD, said in an agency news release. “We recognize that the community has remaining concerns, however, and we will address those concerns rigorously, objectively, and comprehensively.” Mar 6 NIH news release Earlier, Massachusetts state officials had concluded that the NIH’s draft environmental impact report on the lab was adequate, but a court ruling invalidated the state finding. The state then asked the NIH to prepare a supplementary risk assessment addressing additional worst-case scenarios and other questions. That assessment was the one criticized by the NRC.
H1N1 FLU BREAKING NEWS: Rising public concern; next year’s wave; infected Canadian pigs; UK, France get vaccine; why separate flu vaccines
Aug 28, 2009Poll suggests rising flu concern in US publicA new USA Today/Gallup poll suggests Americans are becoming more concerned about getting sick with the pandemic flu virus, USA Today reported yesterday. Of 1,007 adults who were polled, 1 in 3 believe they or a family member will get sick with the virus, up from 1 in 5 in May. Compared with the earlier poll, slightly more accept the government’s risk assessment, and 55%, up from 46%, now say they will get the vaccine. The poll’s margin of error is 4 percentage points.http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/2009-08-27-swineflu_N.htmAug 27 USA Today storyExpert warns about next year’s pandemic flu waveThe fall wave of pandemic H1N1 flu in the northern hemisphere will likely resemble the spring spread of the virus, but a more deadly outbreak could strike next year because of natural selection pressure, virologist John Oxford told Agence France-Presse (AFP) yesterday. Once the virus infects a third of the population, it will find fewer susceptible individuals, which may give mutant viruses a selective advantage, he said. He urged governments not to let down their guard after the next wave.Manitoba finds novel flu virus on pig farmsManitoba’s chief veterinary officer recently announced that the novel H1N1 virus has been detected on various pig farms in the province, according to a post today on ProMED-mail, the Internet-based reporting system of the International Society for Infectious Diseases. No deaths were reported, but the animals showed mild flu-like symptoms. Movement of the pigs was limited to curb transmission, and veterinarians have been asked to help identify and report further outbreaks.http://www.promedmail.org/pls/otn/f?p=2400:1001:3074652114656689::NO::F2400_P1001_BACK_PAGE,F2400_P1001_PUB_MAIL_ID:1000,78977Aug 28 ProMED-mail postBritain, France get first H1N1 vaccine shipmentsBritain and France have received their first novel flu vaccine shipments, but they await regulatory approval and likely won’t be administered to patients until October, AFP reported today. British officials said they received 100,000 doses of a vaccine made by US-based Baxter, but French officials didn’t specify the number of doses they received or the manufacturer.http://www.smh.com.au/world/britain-france-get-first-batches-of-swine-flu-vaccine-20090828-f1i2.htmlAug 28 AFP storySeveral factors tipped US decision for 2 separate flu vaccinesIn response to reader questions about why US officials didn’t combine the novel flu vaccine with the seasonal flu vaccine, Columbia University virologist Vincent Rancaniello, who authors a virology blog, posed the question to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The agency responded that factors weighing against inclusion were lack of clinical trials for tetravalent vaccines, different high-risk populations for seasonal and pandemic flu, production timing, and ease of safety tracking.http://www.virology.ws/2009/08/26/no-tetravalent-influenza-vaccine/Aug 26 Virology Blog post

Schedule of Sell Croatia workshops for 2018
Slowly but surely, the tourist story for next year is coming together and the time of various workshops, conferences, fairs and business meetings is starting.One of the very important and valuable workshops is certainly Sell Croatia, organized by the CNTB, because regardless of the achievements of technology, direct meeting and contact is still very important and crucial for long-term and quality cooperation. You can learn a lot from every conversation, meet new people who will lead us to new opportunities, which is why networking is the strongest entrepreneurial tool today, and I hope it always will be.Business workshops called “Sell Croatia” (B2B workshop) are held between Croatian tourism entities and foreign partners, and characteristic of the concept of “Sell Croatia” is the maintenance of emitting markets. Most of the workshops are organized by the CNTB representative office abroad, ie organized by the CNTB DG if there is no representative office on the relevant market. The aim of the workshops is meetings of representatives of the Croatian tourism industry (hotel and tourism companies, travel agencies and DMC) with foreign partners as well as business meetings with partners and negotiations on the purchase of services and / or packages.The CNTB points out that, as far as distant markets are concerned, where the Croatian National Tourist Board does not have its representative offices, cities where workshops will be held have not been defined yet because we are still examining the interest of the Croatian economy. . “We plan business workshops in Shanghai and Guangzhou in China in May, in Pyeongchang in South Korea during the Winter Olympics and then in Tokyo, Japan in cooperation with the Slovenian Tourist Board. Also, in April, we are planning a business workshop in Dubai, UAE before the ATM Tourism Fair. If there are not enough companies interested in a business workshop in South Korea and Japan, we will organize a presentation in South Korea during the Olympics, in cooperation with our longtime partner, the Slovenian Tourist Board and in Tokyo at the end of the year.”Point out the CNTB.For all information and expression of interest for the mentioned workshops / fairs and proposals for the organization of workshops in some other distant markets, you can contact the CNTB directly by e-mail. dive.kovacevic@htz.hr .

Small tourist destinations show the greatest interest in interpretive guidance
The only male student and a great lover of the garden of his village was Claudio Grbac, a versatile Šišanac who, in addition to working in a bank and growing olives, is extremely active in the Italian Community as a singer and dancer in folklore and a member of the choir, as well as a dancer in Medulin folklore. and a member of the Pula klapa. “I am extremely glad that the first such course was organized in our area, because I think that this is a great way to discover the unknown heritage. We all know about the Arena, St. Euphemia and the Euphrasian Basilica, but with this course the focus is on the hidden part of Istria and proves that even the smallest place can be heritage-valued and promoted. I am proud as a Šišanac that the heritage I grew up with has become important and recognized. Wanting to join the efforts of the Tourist Board of the Municipality of Ližnjan, I intend to become a guide because I want it to be well valorized. All guests who come to us and stay in apartments should get to know better the destination they came to Said Grabac. In our country, it is held by the first Croatian certified trainer, Iva Silla, who is also the author and leader of narrative and gamma tours of Zagreb called Secret Zagreb. The recently completed course in Šišan is the fifth in a series of courses organized mostly in small tourist destinations in which more than 40 guide interpreters have grown up. New courses follow that confirm the importance of interpretive guidance in heritage valorization and the creation of innovative tourism products The Tourist Board of the Municipality of Ližnjan is the first Istrian tourist board to recognize the value of the five-day course “Certified Interpretation Guide” of the Interpret Europe association. Tečaj “Certificirani interpretacijski vodič” kroz 5 dana i 40 vrlo zahtjevnih sati, u kojima je čak 70% praktičnog rada, suočava vodiče (i sve one s iskustvom u vođenju) s redefiniranjem dosadašnjeg načina rada i strukturiranja tura te im daje nove alate za rad. Poticanje brige o zajedničkoj baštini, pretvaranje predmeta i pojava u iskustva, poticanje stvaranja dubljih, emocionalnih veza s naslijeđem, otkrivanje puta do dubljeg značenja sve su to postulati interpretacije baštine koje treneri praktičnim radom prenose na polaznike. We consider the course an investment in the creation of innovative tourist products – Natali Palko Zirdum, director of the Tourist Board of the Municipality of Ližnjan Thanks to field work and valuable study of Šišan’s heritage, the hitherto neglected potential of Šišan has been put in the focus of numerous guides who will henceforth include it in their guides and thus provide it with richer tourist facilities. ”We are very happy that Šišan, as well as the entire municipality of Ližnjan, was the most studied place in Istria during two weekends in March. By organizing this course, we have made a big step forward in the research and tourist evaluation of our heritage, especially Šišan and Ližnjan, which have shone with numerous, hitherto hidden, heritage stories. Considering that almost all participants came to us from all over Istria and that we had four local participants, including me, in addition to education, a great synergy was achieved, which is why we are optimistic about the future. We consider the course an investment in the creation of innovative tourism products with an emphasis on greater involvement of the local community, which is the foundation for the preservation of our heritage”Emphasized Natali Palko Zirdum, director of the Tourist Board of the Municipality of Ližnjan.
Trenerica Iva Silla izuzetno je zadovoljna proaktivnom grupom polaznika u Šišanu, a o daljnim koracima kaže: “Sljedeći tečaj počinje ubrzo u Vrsaru, organizira ga TZ Grada Vrsara u sklopu slovensko-hrvatskog projekta Uživam tradiciju. Nakon ljetne pauze u kojoj su vodiči zauzeti vođenjima u Hrvatskoj i izvan nje, kreće sljedeći ciklus tečajeva za koje su zanimanje pokazala i kontinentalna odredišta. Razvoj interpretacije baštine u punom je zamahu što me kao trenericu izuzetno raduje. Raznovrsna i bogata baština naše zemlje fantastična je osnova za kreiranje kreativnih i održivih turističkih sadržaja, a ovaj tečaj predstavlja kvalitetan i odmah primjenjiv alat za postizanje tog cilja” concluded Iva Silla. Why wouldn’t a similar story be told in Ližnjan tomorrow? Certainly possible, it’s up to the people. After Žumberak, Bakar, Šibenik and Kastav, for the first time in Istria this course was organized in mid-March by the Tourist Board of the Municipality of Ližnjan, which confirmed the fact that small destinations best recognize its potential. More space was required for the course, and the participants, in addition to the locals, arrived in small Šišan from Rovinj, Pula, Medulin, Fažana, Novigrad and Zagreb. Those who want market development, who are proactive and who break the status quo, no matter how “small or big” it may be, are growing and developing. If someone had said 5 or more years ago that people from Zagreb would get in a car and come to Baranja on weekends just for gastronomy, they would laugh and declare him crazy. But that is the reality and one “small” Baranja has positioned itself as a TOP destination in Slavonia. The European Heritage Interpretation Association Interpret Europe, which has over 800 members from 50 countries, has so far designed and conducted a series of courses to educate professionals in the field of heritage interpretation (guide, host, writer, planner, revived history). The longest-lasting and most elaborate education is certainly the course “Certified Interpretation Guide”, which, for almost a decade, has been conducted throughout Europe by trainers of the Interpret Europe association.
