Public policies that should reflect the definitive body of science that show significant positive Health Impacts that companion animals have on human health. The va says it doesnt have enough evidence to support Service Animals for veterans who have pts, we disrespectfully disagree and thats why we support hr4764. We believe there is significant Scientific Evidence to support the efficacy of service dogs for veterans who have pts. We funded the first systematic review on research of animal assisted gervention that was conducted at Purdue University dr. Fallonsal ma matter and it was published less than a year ago and what it found was preliminary evidence that animals provide unique elements to address pts symptoms and i think its also really important to note because mr. Diamond said whats the harm. This systematic review of published and Unpublished Research found no negative effects from any of these studies, so no harm was found in any of the research that we looked at. So, we thin
That nationwide the continues to see the effect break havoc in this country. What will you do to improve the voting and there it is again. I would like to see open primaries everywhere. Federal voting holidafederal vor registration in 18 years of age we have joel here to join us. You will hear it again. And the automatic voter registration.

Multifaceted interactions of humans and Autonomous Systems and complex with the technical systems. I have conducted driving research and provided future Technology Recommendations to automotive manufacturers for more than a dozen years including ford, nissan, toyota, google x, and i was the Program Manager for 100 million Navy Robotics helicopter that carries the very same sense or sensors that you see on cars today and im on the interaction of selfdriving cars and pedestrians. While i enthusiastically support the research and development of selfdriving cars im less optimistic of what i perceive to be a rush to field systems that are really not ready for widespread deployment. Here are a few scenarios that highlight the scenarios of selfdriving cars. Bad weather, including standing water on roadways, drizzling rain, sudden downpours and snow. Coupling this these limitations to follow a traffic policemans gestures especially on a rainy day in a poncho, means selfdriving cars should not
What is on path and technology and i the Computer Science degree. I ended up being a photographer doing underwater pictures. I have been stuck back into technology recently. I am jonathan downey, the founder and ceo of airware. I started at boeing working on helicopter systems. I was briefly an airline pilot. I started airware to address some problems that i saw as an undergrad at m. I. T. In developing drones for specific applications. We develop platform of software and hardward that power drones. One thing we dont do is actually build the drones ourselves. I am the founder and ceo of skycatch. We build fully economist ground robots for collecting data. Some of our clients use these robots to collected all across their job sites. My goal is to help all of these companies with logistics. Help them optimize process and safety. I am very thankful to be here. First question is for chris where are we today with the underlying technologies that make these possible and where is it heading .
