Project Background. The Florida Arts to Competitive Integrated Employment (ArtCIE) Project’s primary goals are to increase the number of adults with disabilities transitioning from subminimum wage employment to competitive integrated employment and the percentage of students and youth with disabilities contemplating subminimum wage employment that enter competitive integrated employment. ArtCIE will offer opportunities to at least 1,000 individuals with disabilities; create a dual customer career exploration model with innovations in peer mentoring, work experience, virtual reality modules, and business engagement; and provide training for 14(c) certificate holders, individuals, families, school personnel and employers. ArtCIE will expand partnerships with Florida’s WIOA core partners, Employment First partners, the University of South Florida, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Center’s VSA Arts, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇, The Able Trust, PolicyWorks, The Arc of Florida Chapters, ServiceSource, and the Institute for Community Inclusion.

Project Background. End-to-end network functionality is best conceptualized using the 5 layer OSI model, that naturally splits the complete functionality into well-defined layers, where each layer is responsible for a well-defined set of tasks. SDR functionality typically focuses on the lowest layer of the OSI, model, emulating a full or partial physical layer on a reconfigurable platform. The advantage of SDR over “off-the-shelf” technology is that it enables a full and open implementation of all low layer functions, enabling innovation everywhere. The disadvantage is however that implementing a full PHY layer is quite complicated, and for a very long time the real-time execution of the PHY layer functionality was only possible for the slowest and simplest technologies, such as IEEE 802.15.4. Recently, SDR technology is improving, and more and more HW-accelerated SDR functionality is becoming available. As a result, SDRs can even be used for some very high throughput and advanced 5G technology, such as Massive MIMO or mmWave. In parallel, open, reconfigurable and real-time MAC protocols are emerging. As a result, SDR PHY and MAC layer technology is becoming mature enough to start considering the concept of networked SDRs. The ultimate goal of the ORCA project is to enable wireless experimenters to unlock the potential of reconfigurable radio technology, by setting up complex experiments involving end-to-end applications that require control of multiple novel technologies or cooperation between multiple networked SDR platforms within 5G (or beyond 5G) performance constraints on latency, reliability or throughput, well before new radio technologies become available on the market in commercial off-the-shelf products.

Project Background. The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO/WHO) and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) have a long history of partnering their efforts with the aim to strengthen health priority areas in the Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) Region. In 2007, PAHO and USAID signed a new three-year US$4 million regional partnership agreement to strengthen health systems in the context of Primary Health Care (PHC) and to improve the quality of services. The objective of the component on strengthening health systems in the context of PHC is to improve the steering role capacity of the National Health Authority (NHA) to develop policies and implement strategies that reduce fragmentation in health through the integration of services, public health capacity building and the creation of synergies between programs and systems. Outcomes focus on the following areas: improving the leadership of the NHA; strengthening health information systems; implementing comprehensive policies that promote universal access and effective interventions; and improving maternal and child health within the context of the continuum of care approach. The objective of the second component on improving quality of health services emphasizes the strengthening of national capacity to organize and develop appropriate and accessible quality health care services that are evidence-based and reflect recognized standards and best practices. Outcomes focus on the following areas: PHC accreditation processes; improved capacity for increased coverage of HIV, malaria and TB prevention, treatment and care among vulnerable populations; strengthening of communicable disease surveillance and response capacity, and the implementation of a Neonatal Regional Plan of Action. The PAHO-USAID collaboration contributes to four Strategic Objectives (SO) from the PAHO Strategic Plan 2008-2012, which are: • SO 2: To combat HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria; • SO 4: To reduce morbidity and mortality and improve health during key stages of life, including pregnancy, childbirth, the neonatal period, childhood and adolescence, and improve sexual and reproductive health and promote active and healthy aging for all individuals;

Project Background. The Moresby Lake Hydro Project (Project) is a storage hydro project serving one of the Non-Integrated Areas located in Haida Gwaii off the north coast of British Columbia. The Project serves the southern grid1 of Haida Gwaii, which includes the communities of Skidegate, Queen Charlotte City, Tlell and Sandspit (Sandspit Non-Integrated Area). The Project has a plant capacity of 6 MW and is backed up by BC Hydro generating station in Sandspit, B.C. A 49 km, 69 kV transmission line interconnects the facility to the point of interconnection at BC Hydro Sandspit substation. The Sandspit Non-Integrated Area has peak loads of approximately 6.4 MW and the annual average load of the communities served is approximately 27 GWh/yr. The 1 Haida Gwaii also has a northern grid, the Masset Non-Integrated Area, which includes the communities of Old Masset, Masset, and Port ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. The northern grid and southern grid are not connected and have separate generation-distribution systems.

BC Hydro owns and operates the diesel generating station in Sandspit for backup and reliability purposes and as a supplemental resource when the generation is not sufficient to meet the electricity needs. Total annual energy supplied by the Project to BC Hydro has averaged approximately GWh/yr and BC Hydro generally has the exclusive rights to the energy output of the Project.
