ELEGANT AND UNDERSTATED SIMPLICITY
Compilation and photos by team iand; bruce damonte; with permission from v2com studio Vara takes an unimaginative white box of a loft in San Francisco and imbues it with coziness, a contemporary and roomy personality, and expansive character… The two-story soma loft apartment is a gorgeous white box that is twelve years old. It has amazing views of the harbor and bay bridge, but it has been split up into a large number of uninspiringly little rooms. After collaborating with the homeowners on the construction of another home in the Carmel Valley, the designers are tasked with giving this property a personality that is analogous in terms of being warm, modern, and spacious, while also highlighting the view and providing two-bedroom suites for overnight guests. The designers reimagined the space as a composition of planes and volumes in warm materials such as concrete, wire-brushed and waxed european white oak, gunmetal grey panels, and gallery white walls. They did this by removing the walls and soffits to expose concrete and by reducing the number of elements in the space to the bare minimum. These planes meet in the flat’s open-concept, double-height living area, which serves as a pivot point from which the rest of the apartment radiates outward. The kitchen activities have been tucked away within a small and minimalist white wall of white lacquer cabinets, which opens up to panoramic views over a large stone island with bar seating. A sleek blackened steel staircase with white wood steps and a frameless glass guardrail has been installed in its place as the room’s main point. The former staircase was bulky and made of oak. The neighboring guest bedroom has a movable wall that is made out of hanging panels that can be stored away, which enables the living room’s size to be smoothly increased by the same amount. In the master bathroom located on the top level, you’ll find wire-brushed waxed wood floating vanities along with bespoke back-lit steel mirror frames, travertine slab flooring, and travertine shower walls. A wall of handcrafted cabinets that serves as both a media unit and a wardrobe separates the media loft from the rest of the top level. The media loft has a view of the living area and is located above it. All of the windows are aligned along a single side, similar to the layout of many double-height loft residences in San Francisco. Studio Var, in collaboration with lighting designer Marissa Tucci, brightens the darkest portions of the space by accentuating architectural aspects with warm-toned led strip lighting. The kitchen cabinets, the built-ins in the media loft, as well as the along the shower walls and backlit floating mirrors in the bathrooms are brought to the forefront by the lighting strategy. Furniture and artwork were chosen to match the natural material palette, utilizing a colorful stark carpet as a starting point. The carpet was acquired by the owners before construction began. These one-of-a-kind items include a dining table handcrafted from steel and wood as well as an upholstered bench. The whole of the endeavor is guided by a process-driven approach, as well as a profound dedication to architecture as both a material craft and a discipline anchored in ideas, including human-centric experiences at a variety of sizes. IIDA has selected soma loft apartment as a finalist for their 2017 Global Excellence Award. Studio Vara was responsible for the building, and Tony Ambus was in charge of the interior design. strandberg engineering is responsible for the building’s framework. Luxurious construction carried out by a general contractor San Francisco is the site. Please visit globalhop.indiaartndesign.com in order to see the photographs.
ESENTIRE HAS BEEN INCLUDED IN THE MANAGED DETECTION AND RESPONSE SERVICES MARKET GUIDE FOR THIRD QUARTER 2018 BY GARTNER.
For the third year in a row, Esentire has been listed in the managed detection and response services market guide published by Gartner. The only pure-play mdr service currently available on the market is provided by the innovative cybersecurity company. Ontario city of Cambridge – june 15 , 2018 – Today, esentire, inc., the world’s biggest pure-play managed detection and response (mdr) provider, made the announcement that the company has been included as a representative vendor in gartner’s 2018 market guide for managed detection and response services. Since it was first introduced in may of 2016, esentire has been listed in the guide for three years in a row, making this the third year in a row that it has done so. Demand in the industry is steadily increasing, and a primary driver of this growth is the need for turnkey managed threat detection and response services by medium-sized organizations. According to research conducted by Gartner, “approximately 25 percent of all inquiries in 2017 related to acquiring security event monitoring services were specifically about mdr.” Furthermore, Gartner forecasts that “by 2020, 15 percent of organizations will be using mdr services, up from less than 5 percent today.” According to kerry bailey, the chief executive officer of esentire, “digital change is exceeding the capabilities of conventional preventive and protection security approaches.” “dispersed assets and an increasing danger surface continue to speed up the acceleration of business risk.” Traditional preventative measures, in conjunction with identification and reaction, are required. When we consider the development of MDR, having full insight into a customer’s environment serves as a crucial building block. It is difficult to identify and react to an attack in a timeframe that is anything close to real-time without having access to enhanced signals and in-depth forensic information from many endpoints, the network, the cloud, and other log sources. In the end, it comes down to preventing your competitor from causing a business-changing event by causing them disruption. According to the guide, “gartner clients state that they want more comprehensive threat detection and response services than are typically provided by many mssps.” Furthermore, “gartner clients state that they see the value in mdr services that include advanced detection and containment tools like managed endpoint detection and response” (edr). The use of covert methods that are directed at the endpoint is becoming more common. According to a report by esentire threat intelligence, 91 percent of critical security events that occurred in the first quarter of 2018 were the result of endpoint events. These endpoint events retrieved and executed malicious code from remote sources through known, legitimate binaries, such as powershell or mshta. Both opportunistic and targeted attacks make advantage of these processes, which enable them to evade fundamental protections in order to transmit and install malware. Late in the month of January 2018, an esentire advanced threat analytics operation (named “blue steel” and powered by machine learning) discovered an adversary using an unknown exploit in kaseya’s virtual system administrator (vsa) product to deploy cryptocurrency miners across the infrastructure of a select group of esentire customers. The assault was designed to compromise a wide variety of trusted systems, including msps and cloud platforms, by using kaseya vsa endpoint agents to get initial access and then delivering malicious scripts. esentire was the one who uncovered the danger and informed kaseya about the incursions; as a consequence, many security flaws were patched. esentire mdr is able to aggregate and integrate all signals across the full danger surface at scale, and it does so with the assistance of expert analysis that is reinforced by machine learning. The business claims that it has reduced the number of false positives by 99.97 percent by increasing the effectiveness of its security analysts and using automated event suppression. Visit the following website to learn more about esentire mdr: https://www.esentire.com/what-we-do/managed-detection-and-response/ . about esentire: esentire® is the biggest pure-play managed detection and response (mdr) service provider in the world.

A NEW SERVICE, THE WELL BEING PROGRAM, IS NOW AVAILABLE THROUGH LIFESPAN.
On Thursday, June 28th, as part of the festivities commemorating the 35th year of existence of lifetime, a free seminar entitled “where is the pleasure? putting joy back in your life as you age” will be offered. The 16th of May, 2018, in Santa Cruz, California – lifetime, an organization that specializes in the care of elderly people and was established in Santa Cruz County 35 years ago, has announced the launch of a new service. The wellness program acknowledges the fact that as individuals become older, many of them become socially isolated and lose the capacity to participate in activities, either in the past or in the present, that may offer them pleasure. In many cases, people become estranged from their community as well as their family and friends. It is all too common for a person’s access to activities that have previously provided them pleasure and satisfaction in their lives to be limited as a result of social isolation, restricted mobility, or migration to a new town. Through its new well being program, lifespan seeks to reintroduce local seniors to their communities and help them rediscover the pleasure of living. Regardless of a person’s age or how their abilities are thought to be changing, the goal of this program is to improve involvement in life as well as a feeling of satisfaction, connection, and pleasure. At the very beginning, a professional in the field of lifespan development will meet with the elderly person to discuss their desires. These desires may include rekindling or exploring a creative outlet, reestablishing connections with family members or old friends, pursuing a spiritual path, or taking part in outings into the community. After the individual has determined their personal objectives, a specialist personal assistant from lifetime is assigned to them, and the two of them then begin the process of arranging activities together. On thursday, June 28th, from 5 pm– 6:30 pm, a free class entitled “where is the joy? putting joy back in your life as you age” will be presented at the la posada senior residence in Santa Cruz, which is located at 609 Frederick Street. This event is being held in celebration of the 35th anniversary of lifespan. Participants will get knowledge on how to make their lives more fulfilling as they become older by rediscovering old hobbies, discovering new ones, and rekindling relationships with former companions, members of their families, or new experiences. Send an rsvp to marci@chatterboxpublicrelations.com if you would like to attend the class. The main speaker will be cathy cress, msw, who is recognized as a prominent national authority in the administration of geriatric care and living in later years. Cress is well recognized as a leading expert on the baby boomer demographic and the dynamics of the aging household. The fourth edition of her manual on the administration of geriatric care is now available. She graduated from UC Berkeley with a master’s degree in social work and currently works as a consultant on aging problems, including life enrichment. About length of life lifetime is an all-inclusive aging care management service that is committed to offering the finest level of care to clients in the comfort of their own homes or in any other environment of their choosing. The compassionate care that is person-centered is the means by which lifetime intends to achieve its mission of maximizing the clients’ health, safety, comfort, and independence. Since its founding in 1983, lifespan has been helping individuals who need assistance by offering comprehensive home care as well as expert geriatric care management services. lifetime was one of the very first organizations on the west coast to offer this mix of care, and it is still the only agency of its sort in santa cruz county. lifespan is a pioneer in the field of senior care services, and it is also known as an industry leader. Professional care management is provided by registered nurses and social workers with a master’s degree. These individuals conduct assessments of client strengths and unmet needs, and then assist the client and their family in deciding on a plan of care. lifespan is a company that provides this service. In addition, care managers are able to organize a wide range of resources and collaborate with many experts, including health care providers, fiduciary agents, and others, to ensure that all requirements are satisfied even as situations evolve. Additionally, medication administration and management is provided by registered nurses via lifetime. Aide de maison provides essential assistance with activities of daily living, such as light cleaning, shopping, laundry, food preparation and clean up, personal hygiene, mobility, and medicine reminders. In addition to this, they provide protective surveillance for those who have cognitive impairments. Depending on the number of available caregivers, care is provided for up to 24 hours per day. To guarantee the highest quality of care, the experienced care managers, registered nurses, and social workers oversee all of the home care assistant services. lifespan is in full compliance with the 2015 California Home Care Services Consumer Protection Act, which is administered by the California Department of Social Services and mandates that all employees meet the requirements to be registered as home care aides. This law requires that all employees at lifespan be qualified to provide home care services. This entails validating the individual’s original and continuing professional training in addition to conducting in-depth screenings and obtaining a criminal background check (fingerprinting) from both the Department of Justice and the FBI. Both the worker’s compensation policy and the general liability bond that lifespan maintains protect all workers, regardless of their status. There are about 2 million professional home care workers in the United States who provide care and assistance to aging people and persons with disabilities in home and community-based settings. These individuals work in settings such as nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and private homes. The number of people working in home care has increased by a factor of two in the previous decade, and it

THE CLARITY OF LARGE-SCALE DISPLAYS AND VIDEO WALLS IS SIGNIFICANTLY ENHANCED BY ATEN, WHICH ALSO SIMPLIFIES THEIR CONSTRUCTION.
Aten increases the sharpness of large-scale screens and video walls while also making their buildouts easier. irvine, California and Las Vegas, Nevada – April 9, 2018 – 2018 red dot design award winning 4k hdmi over ip extender launched at nab show irvine, California and Las Vegas, Nevada – aten technology, inc., the industry pioneer and worldwide maker of kvm and pro av connection solutions, has officially announced its 4k hdmi over ip extender solution today at the nab show in las vegas. The “ve8950,” which consists of a receiver (ve8950r) and transmitter (ve8950t), is a digital signage system that is efficient, simple to use, and cost-effective.

ATEN HAS JUST RELEASED THEIR NEW THUNDERBOLT 3 DOCKING STATION.
Aten has just released their new Thunderbolt 3 docking station, which will define the next generation of workplace connection. irvine, California – The 13th of March, 2018 – aten technology, inc., a pioneer in technology and a worldwide provider of solutions for kvm and pro av connection, has just unveiled the uh7230, which is a thunderboltTM 3 multiport dock solution. The uh7230 was developed to facilitate the creation of a simple but highly productive 4k workplace. It does this by providing additional multiport connection and charging capabilities to macbook or windows laptops via the use of a single thunderbolt cable. The uh7230 thunderbolt 3 multiport dock allows for the rapid connection of accessories as well as the display of video information taken from a laptop. The Thunderbolt 3 Multiport Docking Station makes it possible for users to connect a second monitor to their system, regardless of whether they are at work, school, or at home. This enables users to perform enhanced multitasking, such as graphic design while also viewing high-definition movies or photographs. The docking station is ideal for creative professionals and those who work with high-resolution, graphic-intensive images, video, and cad drawings. Some examples of these types of professionals include video producers, graphic and web designers, architects, and any other field that requires optimal quality displays and USB devices. Thunderbolt 3 is a single form factor that combines high speed data transfers, strong performance, and lightweight design. Therefore, even though more laptops, such as Macbooks and Ultrabooks, are adopting the interface, many users are still faced with the challenge of connecting multiple devices with legacy interfaces due to a lack of the appropriate port. This is the case even though more laptops are adopting the interface. “dongles can be used to transfer the interface; however, for mobile workers who use a variety of legacy usb type a gadgets, the multiple dongle approach can be very inconvenient,” said rojin liao, senior product marketing manager, aten technology, Inc. “the aten thunderbolt 3 multiport dock provides the necessary power to charge multiple devices, daisy chains multiple thunderbolt devices, drives dual 4k monitors or displayport, and provides easy access for flash Among the primary characteristics of the uh7230 are: • the ability to enable graphics at multiple resolutions of either 4K or 5K -intensive multitasking enables customers to connect either one 5k monitor or two 4k displays (by one displayport and one thunderbolt 3 usb-c port), providing users with roughly 16 million more pixels than standard HDTVs. Users will reap the benefits of astounding resolution, contrast, and color depth regardless of whether they are engaged in the process of editing video or digital material, developing graphics, or utilizing programs that need high-definition visuals. • blazing fast speed to enhance productivity – with up to 40gbps bandwidth, users can transfer files quicker (a 4k movie takes less than 30 seconds), reducing the amount of time spent waiting, which frees up more time to do other work. • Usb power delivery 2.0 for mac and windows laptops – enabling up to 85w of power delivery, the uh7230 is an intuitive central hub that not only expands connection but also charges a laptop and other usb accessories. This feature is only available on laptops running mac OS X and Windows. The uh7230 is able to provide power to matching USB-C laptops that run Microsoft Windows or Apple macOS and have pd profile parameters of 20v/4.25a, 15v/3a, 9v/3a, or 5v/3a. • Simplified workspace through the use of a single cable – With the use of the single thunderbolt 3 cable that is included, the docking station expands connectivity to a maximum of 8 ports. These ports include audio, gigabit ethernet, displayport, thunderbolt 3 usb-c, and usb 3.1 gen 1 ports. These ports are designed to meet the most demanding computing needs of a user.

INVESTMENT IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF INFRASTRUCTURE FOR TESTING DEFENSE EQUIPMENT IS NECESSARY FOR THE FUTURE OF THE SOUTH KOREAN DEFENSE INDUSTRY
Because South Korea is one of the leading economies in Asia and because it faces a significant number of security challenges, the country has to adopt a robust security posture. In response to the challenge posed by a nuclear threat from north korea, the requirement to replace obsolete military equipment, and the growing necessity for restructuring and modernizing the military, south korea has introduced the defense reform plan 2020 (drp 2020), which has the goal of transforming the military into a smaller but more capable force. During the period of 2014–2018, south Korea’s military expenditures increased at a compound annual growth rate of 5.72 percent, although the country’s defense budget remained relatively stable in contrast to rising GDP. According to a research report titled “future of the south korean defense industry – market attractiveness, competitive landscape and forecasts to 2023,” it is anticipated that the amount spent on defense will increase at a compound annual growth rate of 4.90 percent between 2019 and 2023, ultimately amounting to $48.5 billion in the United States. Other elements that effect the dynamics of south korea’s defense spending include a decrease in the number of military personnel, the purchase of new technology, and a reduction in the dependency on imports. It is anticipated that the nation would concentrate on creating capacities to create new weapon systems, with a particular emphasis placed on projects such as laser weapons, unmanned ground vehicles, and unmanned surveillance vehicles, amongst other things. Additionally, it is anticipated that the nation would spend in the development of specialized infrastructure for the testing of various high-tech weapon systems and military equipment. boosting technology transfer (spin-offs) from the military to the country’s private industries and vice versa in order to achieve a level of synergy between the two spheres is one of the primary objectives of south korea’s efforts to improve the effectiveness of its defense industrial complex. this objective will be accomplished through the promotion of robust cooperation between the commercial sector and the rest of the country. Additionally, South Korea intends to provide financial support in order to facilitate the organization of a variety of market exploratory activities including military shows. in addition to this, it intends to increase its assistance for growing the country’s exports of military equipment. It is anticipated that the spending on homeland security (HLS) in south Korea would continue to increase throughout the course of the projected period. The cyber and defense danger posed by north Korea and China highlights the necessity for the purchase of advanced security technology together with the coordination of that technology and reinstates the rising need for cloud-based security solutions. significant issues discussed during the course of the report research on the international military industry research conducted by the south Korean military industry expenditures on defense made by south Korea expenditures on capital for the defense of south Korea spending on defense relative to the population in south korea the magnitude of the market for missile systems in south Korea fighters and multi-role aircraft belonging to South Korea imports and exports of military hardware by South Korea market for the south Korean Air Force market for military vehicles in south Korea the market for aircraft components in south Korea infrastructure supporting South Korea’s military industry facilities used for the testing of military equipment in South Korea Government spending on South Korea’s defense industry Click on the link that follows for more information: https://www.kenresearch.com/defense-and-security/defense/future-south-korean-defense-industry/143769-16.html reports that are connected The future of the Danish military sector in terms of market attractiveness, the competitive environment, and projections until the year 2023 ken research ankur gupta, head of marketing and communications sales@kenresearch.com +91-124-4230204 is available for interviews on the future of the libyan defense sector in terms of market attractiveness, competitive landscape, and forecasts until the year 2023.
