| Startup Phantom Space wants to head into orbit against the grain Posted: 26 May 2021 02:41 AM PDT dWeb.News Article from Neel V. Patel  Jim Cantrell calls himself "one of the intellectual fathers of the small-launch business." It's hard to disagree. When Elon Musk founded SpaceX in 2002, Cantrell became its first vice president of business development. His expertise was critical to the development of the company's first rocket, the Falcon 1. Cantrell later founded Strategic Space Development (StratSpace), which has worked on projects like NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission to asteroid Bennu and the Planetary Society's demo of solar-sail technology in space. He was a cofounder and CTO of Moon Express, a company that wants to one day mine the moon for resources. He's also well versed in the hazards of an industry where failures can be literally explosive. Moon Express, a finalist for the Google Lunar X Prize (a $30 million competition to land a rover on the moon that was later canceled), has yet to actually make it to space, let alone the moon. Cantrell's latest focus is Phantom Space, one in a sea of new launch startups seeking to take advantage of the explosion of smaller, cheaper satellite designs and build rockets that can meet the growing demand to launch these payloads into orbit. But as is par for the course with Cantrell, Phantom is trying to find success by swimming against the current. One of the hottest trends in rockets right now is ride-share launches, where customers buy available spots for their payloads on a midsize or large rocket with a specific departure date. This is usually a cheaper way than single launches for customers to get a payload into space—with SpaceX's ride-share program, it costs $1 million to launch a 200-kilogram payload (its Falcon 9 rocket can take 22,800 kg total into low Earth orbit). The company launched a dedicated ride-share mission on January 21, deploying a record 143 satellites into orbit. It's following up with a similar mission in June. In a surprising about-face in March, Rocket Lab, which has long resisted the idea of building larger rockets, unveiled the Neutron for the precise purpose of doing ride-share launches and competing with the SpaceX Falcon 9. Ride shares aren't Phantom's cup of tea. The company wants to establish its space footprint by mass-manufacturing small rockets and launching a hundred a year. "We want to be the Henry Ford of space," says Cantrell. "We're taking a contrarian view of how we develop this." Just as Henry Ford didn't reinvent the car but the way it was built, Phantom isn't out to reinvent rockets—just their production. How so? When SpaceX started, the supply chains for aerospace companies going into orbit were enmeshed in the financial system of the US Defense Department. To stay independent of that system, SpaceX decided to build everything itself, relying on Musk's fortune and a ton of investment to stay afloat during years of losses. It was a long-term gamble that paid off. But Phantom's founders decided they didn't need to follow suit. Even in just the last five years, aerospace supply chains have become more fluid and competitive, which means Phantom can just buy the specific parts it wants rather than build everything from scratch. It buys 3D-printed engines from Ursa Major in Colorado. The design of the flight computer was licensed from NASA, and it uses a BeagleBone Black boardthat some distributors sell for around $50. Other components, like batteries and telemetry systems, are bought through the missile defense supply chain. The Henry Ford analogy isn't just an aspiration—it's a model for the company. Cofounder Michael D'Angelo says the car and rocket businesses follow similar growth curves: doubling production leads to certain economies of scale also associated with greater efficiency and fewer production errors. Computers and mobile devices followed a similar path. And he argues that the supply chains nowadays are mature enough to allow for the kind of speedy manufacturing Phantom wants. Right now, the company is pursuing two types of rockets. There's the 18.7-meter-tall Daytona, which should be able to lift about 450 kilograms into space. It's perhaps on the larger end of what might be termed the small-rocket class, but according to Cantrell, the company's analysis estimates this to be an optimum size for profitable activity. Then there's Laguna, a 20.5-meter-tall rocket that can lift payloads of up to 1,200 kg. Phantom is developing a version of Laguna with a reusable first-stage booster, like a SpaceX Falcon 9 (with a similar vertical landing process). An artist's rendering of the Daytona rocket flying into space. PHANTOM SPACE Phantom is hoping to fill a gap in the market. While ride shares are cheap, customers have less control over how the mission goes. A ride-share mission, like a train, is on a fixed route. If you want your satellite to go a different orbit or trajectory, you need to install expensive thrusters that can take it there. Otherwise, you have to redesign its function for the new orbit, tolerate a less favorable orbit, or simply buy a ticket for a different mission. And you better hope your satellite can fit snugly with all the other payloads it's going with—these flights are fully booked. A small-rocket launch might cost more, but it gives control back to the customer. If you have a mission with very specific requirements—like replacing a particular satellite in a constellation, launching sensitive equipment, or running an expensive tech demo—you'll probably want a dedicated flight rather than a ride share. "There's definitely an interest and demand for these small-rocket launches," says Ryan Martineau, a space system engineer at the Space Dynamics Laboratory in Utah. Cantrell thinks Phantom can meet this demand without blowing its budget. He estimates that the company's approach can actually offer launches for a third the price of the ride-share model. First, though, the company has to actually get to space. The aim is for Daytona to make its first spaceflight in 2023. Classically, says Cantrell, there's a 50% reliability rate for the first four flights of a new rocket. Phantom's plans more or less assume that at least one of its first four flights gets to orbit. It recently signed a lease from the Air Force for a launch site at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, and it is currently looking for permission to launch from Cape Canaveral, Florida, as well—important initial steps if 100 launches a year is truly the goal. Phantom also wants to build satellites and become something of a one-stop shop for customers. Its acquisition of Cantrell's StratSpace this week is supposed to be a key part of this side of the business. The company is working on constellation prototypes for customers and is part of a group developing a commercially funded $1.2 billion science mission (specific details won't be disclosed for several months). And it has been quietly working on a communications network it calls Phantom Cloud, which is essentially a mesh network other satellites can use to communicate with each other or with systems on the surface. Cantrell calls it "satellite internet for space." In reality, Phantom doesn't exactly need to beat SpaceX and the other large rocket makers—it just needs to hold its own. "As the small-launcher market matures, I think you'll see a wider variety of customers taking advantage of that capability," says Martineau. "I think it's unlikely that one will become dominant and edge out the other." Coexistence is fine, says Cantrell: "We recognize that SpaceX has magnificently developed this large reusable space transportation system, but we think that is but one of at least two—maybe more—fundamentally different economic systems in the space transportation ecosystem." He hopes it's Phantom that pioneers the other. Jim Cantrell calls himself "one of the intellectual fathers of the small-launch business." It's hard to disagree. When Elon Musk founded SpaceX in 2002, Cantrell became its first vice president of business development. His expertise was critical to the development of the company's first rocket, the Falcon 1.

| ‘Better Than the Hospital’: Pandemic Boosts Care for Serious Illnesses at Home Posted: 26 May 2021 02:40 AM PDT dWeb.News Article from Stephanie O'Neill  Late last year, Janet Yetenekian was one of the thousands of people in Southern California whose case of covid-19 was serious enough to send her to the hospital. But Yetenekian's recovery was not typical: She received hospital-level care in her own home in Glendale. "It was even better than the hospital," Yetenekian said, laughing. "They were constantly reaching out — it's time for you to do your vitals, or it's time for you to take your medications." Yetenekian contracted the virus that causes covid in December, after friends invited her family to an afternoon barbecue. It seemed like a safe antidote to the isolation caused by the pandemic. But the day after the gathering, the host came down with a fever. A test confirmed it was covid. Within two weeks, Yetenekian's husband and two teenage children developed mild symptoms. She came down with a more serious case, however, and her blood oxygen plummeted to dangerously low levels. She went to the hospital at Adventist Health in Glendale, where doctors told her she would need an intravenous infusion of the antiviral drug remdesivir and constant monitoring. And it surprised Yetenekian when her doctor offered to move all her care home to be monitored virtually. Doctors and nurses at a command center nearly 200 miles away in the San Joaquin Valley town of Hanford, California, managed Yetenekian's care as part of a new federal effort aimed at freeing up hospital beds during public health emergencies. Under the model, about 60 illnesses — including covid — qualify for home treatment. "Heart failure, pneumonia, skin infections — those are all patient populations we can safely care for in the home," said Dr. Margaret Paulson, who leads the Mayo Clinic's new home-based care program in rural Wisconsin. Hospital care at home is nothing new for patients with low-level health needs. But since the pandemic began, a growing number of health systems, including Adventist Health, the Mayo Clinic and Kaiser Permanente (which is not affiliated with KHN) are offering people with more serious health conditions hospital-level treatment in the comfort of their homes. Paulson said that, once her patients understand home care does not mean less care, they eagerly embrace it. "Especially for patients who have been in the hospital a lot, to know that they can actually go home and sleep in their own bed and be with their family and have their pets by their side, it's just really reassuring," Paulson said. And studies suggest at-home care provides better outcomes for patients and costs less to provide than traditional inpatient care. "This is actually a higher level of touch from physicians and advanced practitioners," said Dr. Kavita Patel, a physician and health policy fellow at the Brookings Institution. Regular video conferencing and 24/7 monitoring is augmented by twice-daily, in-person visits by nurses and other health workers who provide basic care — such as antibiotics — that can't be given virtually. "This isn't just sending Mom or Dad to the bedroom," Patel said. The technology infrastructure is key, Patel said, for patients and doctors. It includes Wi-Fi phones that ring directly into a hospital's command center, iPads that allow videoconferencing with health professionals and wearable devices with emergency call buttons. Raphael Rakowski is co-founder of Medically Home, a Boston-based technology company that supports at-home programs for Adventist Health. Mayo Clinic and Kaiser Permanente announced on May 13 a combined $100 million investment in Medically Home to help expand the service to other health systems. Rakowski said another selling point of the at-home care model is that there are no facility transfers as patients heal. "We stay with the patient until they're fully recovered, and that averages anywhere from 20 to 30 days, sometimes longer," he said. "So, we substitute not just for the hospital, but for all the care that follows." Still, the program is not a good fit for every patient. To be eligible for care at home, patients must live within 30 minutes of emergency care; they also need high-speed internet and, said Patel, they can't be too sick. "This can't be something where it's so complicated that you are monitoring a patient, worried that they could crash and need to be in the ICU within minutes," she said. But for moderate covid and dozens of other conditions, acute hospital care at home is likely to become a more common option as more health systems adopt the program and even more diseases are included. It is offered now in 30 states. This story is part of a reporting partnership that includes NPR and KHN.

| Minneapolis Police Injured Protesters With Rubber Bullets. The City Has Taken Little Action. Posted: 26 May 2021 02:40 AM PDT dWeb.News Article from Dennis Wagner, USA TODAY  (Editor's note: This is a follow-up to last year's joint investigation by KHN and USA Today finding that police in several cities violated their own crowd-control policies during protests over racial injustice and police brutality.) As police in riot gear approached the demonstrators, Soren Stevenson raised his hands like scores of others and called out, "Hands up, don't shoot." This story also ran on USA Today. It can be republished for free. Suddenly, tear gas canisters and rubber bullets rained down. The demonstrators had gathered for a sixth straight day to decry Minneapolis police officers' use-of-force practices after the slaying of an unarmed Black man named George Floyd. On May 31, 2020, the protesters were under fire. Stevenson, a graduate student at the University of Minnesota Humphrey School of Public Affairs, lost his left eye after an officer fired a plastic-tipped round at him — even though Minneapolis Police Department policy bans the use of those munitions against nonviolent people. According to a federal court complaint that cites video of the incident and witness accounts, Stevenson was unarmed, had committed no crime, posed no threat and was not in a chaotic crowd. It wasn't an isolated event. Dozens of people were seriously injured during the protests last summer, leading to lawsuits, promises of reform and calls to ban the use of rubber bullets for crowd control. "This is a moment in time where we can totally change the way our Police Department operates," Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said when the City Council banned chokeholds soon after Floyd's death. "We can quite literally lead the way in our nation enacting more police reform than any other city in the entire country, and we cannot fail." Nearly a year later, there is scant evidence that Minneapolis has changed how its police officers use less-lethal weapons or strengthened its oversight. Instead, the city may be a study in stymied reform, unenforced policies and a lack of transparency. The Minneapolis Police Department still has not given the public or the City Council a full accounting of how it responded to last summer's demonstrations. The department has failed to disclose basic facts such as the number of protesters arrested or wounded. No officers have been disciplined for their actions during the protests. The only discipline related to the protests was meted out to an officer who described the department's toxic culture in a GQ story, despite not being authorized to talk to the media. "I'm appalled by the behavior of our police during the protests," City Council President Lisa Bender said. "For this to be the department in our city with the least amount of transparency is the opposite of what it should be." From New York to Portland, an investigation by USA Today and KHN last year found that police violated their own crowd-control policies during protests over racial injustice and police brutality. Michelle Gross, co-founder of the nonprofit Communities United Against Police Brutality, said she's seen no reform or accountability regarding Minneapolis officers' conduct, including their use of rubber bullets. "I call it 'cop exceptionalism,'" she said. "They do what they want." The Minneapolis City Council passed a resolution last month calling for an end to the use of rubber bullets, tear gas and other less-lethal rounds. It was merely a "statement of values" with no legal force. Police Chief Medaria Arradondo rejected the resolution as "unhelpful and uninformed," according to the (Minneapolis) Star Tribune, saying if officers can't use less-lethal weapons they would have only guns and batons to combat demonstrators "who are here to strike harm and chaos and destroy our city." Council Member Says Police Escalated Tensions Floyd was killed May 25, 2020, by police during an arrest that was captured on video and seen worldwide. In a city raw from complaints of officer abuses, outrage exploded into street demonstrations. Police responded with riot squads armed with tear gas and less-lethal firearms that launch 40-millimeter projectiles tipped with hard foam or plastic, commonly called rubber bullets. For six days and nights, some peaceful demonstrations escalated into arson, looting and chaos, making it difficult for outsiders to sort out whether protesters or police triggered violence. Steve Fletcher and other City Council members contended officers inflamed crowds with tear gas and rubber bullets. "The community gathered Tuesday night to mourn and express their outrage, peacefully," he tweeted May 28 amid the violence. "It was bad choices by Minneapolis police officers that escalated the situation to the point that it turned into a prolonged week of action," he said later, according to the Star Tribune. Officers used about 5,200 less-lethal munitions over six days, according to records provided to USA Today. Frey told USA Today that officers faced unprecedented conditions in which violent provocateurs mixed with peaceful protesters. "Distinguishing between those two became increasingly difficult," he said. At least 57 people were injured so severely by less-lethal projectiles that they required urgent care during protests in Minneapolis from May 26 to June 15, 2020, according to the University of Minnesota's medical school. Of those, 23 were hit in the face or head. Ten were blinded or suffered severe eye trauma. Sixteen suffered traumatic brain injuries. Minneapolis policy defines a less-lethal weapon as one that "does not have a reasonable likelihood of causing or creating a substantial risk of death or great bodily harm." The policy says officers may use less-lethal weapons against individuals posing a threat but "shall not deploy 40mm launchers for crowd management purposes." It says shots to the head or neck are potentially deadly and should be avoided. The study concluded, "Projectiles are not appropriate for crowd control." Years ago, other researchers reached a similar conclusion. But the devices have been marketed for crowd control and, last summer, that's how police across the country used them. Frey acknowledged seeing videos of officers shooting nonviolent civilians and journalists — sometimes appearing to target the head. Though such conduct is "unacceptable," he said, efforts to enforce policies have been thwarted by procedural requirements, union resistance and litigation. Asked whether any Minneapolis officer has been disciplined for violating use-of-force policies during the protests, Frey said in April "quite a few cases" were under investigation, but he declined to say how many. Mychal Vlatkovich, a spokesperson for Frey, said Saturday no discipline has been finalized, and the city can't comment on open investigations. 'We're Getting Hit' Terry Hempfling, 39, an artist who was raised by activist parents, said protesting injustice is a patriotic duty. On May 29, she and her friend Rachel Clark joined a crowd near the 3rd Precinct police station. Around 11:30 p.m., police ordered protesters to disperse. Hempfling said she and Clark walked away and were unlocking their bikes when tear gas swirled in the darkness. They were trapped between two lines of police. Hempfling said she was disoriented, eyes and throat stinging, as Clark blurted out, "We're getting hit." They climbed a fence to escape but not before Hempfling was shot in the back, breast and leg, leaving an expansive bruise that is still discolored. Hempfling and Clark, who was hit by three projectiles, are among hundreds of plaintiffs in an American Civil Liberties Union of Minnesota lawsuit alleging Minneapolis and state police have "a custom or policy authorizing the deployment of crowd-control weapons and/or less-lethal munitions in an unconstitutional manner." The ACLU complaint contends departmental restrictions on the use of rubber bullets are not enforced, so officers ignore them with impunity. At least a dozen other lawsuits contain similar allegations. Stevenson, who seeks $55 million in damages plus court-ordered policing reforms, claims in his suit that a rubber bullet fired by a Minneapolis police officer fractured facial bones, ruptured an eye and caused brain damage. As blood streamed from the wound, at least a half-dozen officers allegedly did nothing to render aid — behavior his lawsuit says was not just a violation of policies but inhumane. "MPD has allowed its officers to get away with policy and constitutional violations without fear of repercussion for decades," the complaint says. Ethan Marks alleged he was at a demonstration May 28 with his mother when he was "shot in the eye with a tear gas canister from several feet away." It hit him so hard he was knocked out of his shoes. Andrew Noel, an attorney who represents Stevenson and Marks, said police have yet to identify the officers who shot his clients, even though they tracked down suspected rioters with video and social media. "If you can locate those folks, you'd better be able to identify the officers involved," Noel said. Hempfling said she has taken part in more than 100 demonstrations and thought she understood how to exercise her First Amendment rights safely. "I left feeling like I had no clue what a police officer might do to me, regardless of whether I'm being peaceful," she said. Attorneys for the city sought to dismiss the ACLU case based in part on a claim that officers faced a "rapidly evolving, violent, and dangerous situation" that required less-lethal force to repel and disperse "unruly individuals." A federal judge rejected the motion in March, ruling that plaintiffs plausibly allege city officials tacitly authorized police abuses or were indifferent to them. ACLU attorney Isabella Salomão Nascimento said the Police Department remains in dire need of reform. "We really hope this litigation will serve as a vehicle for that," she said. "This was an outrageous use of force." Limited Reforms In early June 2020, Minnesota's Department of Human Rights filed an emergency action accusing the Minneapolis Police Department of discriminating against people of color. The city promptly agreed to a restraining order. As part of that deal, the use of rubber bullets against demonstrators is prohibited unless authorized by the police chief or someone he designates. Vlatkovich, the mayor's spokesperson, said Arradondo authorized use of less-lethal weapons during demonstrations in August. The court agreement included a provision requiring timely and transparent discipline for officers who violate use-of-force policies. Despite repeated requests from USA Today, neither police nor Frey identified any officer punished for misuse of less-lethal munitions. Citizen complaints of misconduct and abuse by Minneapolis police nearly tripled during the second quarter of 2020, when the demonstrations took place, according to the Minneapolis Office of Police Conduct Review. Gross, the community activist, said the data is almost meaningless because residents don't believe police officers are held accountable and seldom bother to report wrongdoing. She serves on an advisory council with the Minnesota Peace Officer Standards and Training agency. She said she witnessed an officer shoot a nonviolent protester in the face with a tear gas canister during last year's demonstrations, but there was no point in lodging a complaint. A nurse by profession, Gross referred to the conduct review office as "the place where complaints go to die." The city has an appointed Police Conduct Oversight Commission, described on the municipal website as an "independent body which assures police services are delivered in a lawful and nondiscriminatory manner." The commission conducts audits but has no power over citizen complaints, officer discipline or law enforcement policies. An analysis by the Minnesota Reformer, a nonprofit news site, found that fewer than 3% of the commission's cases from 2013 to 2019 resulted in significant discipline of officers. It took an average of 18 months to resolve each case. The news outlet concluded that the Minneapolis Police Department "is notoriously ineffective at removing bad cops from its ranks" due to a "pattern of mismanagement." A City Council bid to reorganize the roughly 800-officer Police Department is caught in a power struggle. The council and activists are pressing to let voters decide whether the department should be replaced by a public safety agency under council control. Frey opposes those efforts and insists he is changing police customs and rules from within. For example, he said, one new policy says only SWAT units can use rubber bullets for crowd control. It makes an exception if no tactical squad is available. Frey said he made "overture after overture" to City Council members, asking for suggestions on what to change without receiving any. Bender, the council president, said she's seen no significant reforms under Frey's leadership. "There is public debate about the use of less-lethal force for crowd control," she said, "but no public decision-making. The mayor and chief make those decisions behind closed doors." City Won't Say Whether Officers Followed Reporting Policies The Minneapolis Police Department's policy manual requires officers to file a report each time they discharge a less-lethal projectile. If someone is injured, an officer is required to notify a supervisor, which prompts an inquiry that must be documented. It is unclear whether officers complied with those policies during May and June 2020. In response to a public records request from USA Today, the department supplied no records other than a spreadsheet summarizing how many munitions were discharged. Frey said Arradondo compiled "a whole lot of data" about enforcement efforts during the protests. Asked in early April where that information has been disseminated, he said, "I am trying to get it right now, and we're expediting the requests." Attorneys for shooting victims said the city has turned over few documents in response to their lawsuits, and it has secured protective orders to keep disclosures about police behavior out of public view. Among the records that Minneapolis lawyers want sealed: bodycam videos, internal investigative reports, misconduct reviews and personnel files. Police agencies commonly seek independent reports that evaluate performance and tactics after major events. Minneapolis did not commission an after-action review of the George Floyd demonstrations until February. In an email, city spokesperson Casper Hill said the review was delayed because there wasn't money in the budget. The $250,000 study will not be completed until later this year. Police Officers Nationwide Fired on Protesters A nationwide survey by the nonprofit Physicians for Human Rights counted 115 demonstrators who suffered head wounds from less-lethal projectiles during last summer's demonstrations. That tally, based on news and social media reports, is believed to be a fraction of the total. The organization concluded that rubber bullets "are not an appropriate weapon for crowd management" and recommended cities ban such use. Minneapolis police were particularly aggressive, according to the study, firing more neck and head shots than officers in any other city except Los Angeles, which has roughly 10 times the population. Though laws and regulations are important, policing experts stress that culture is crucial. Mike Tusken, chief of police in Duluth and an executive board member with the Minnesota Chiefs of Police Association, said crowd control is difficult because civil disturbances are dynamic and there's no playbook on how to respond. Though policies set a framework, Tusken said, proper decision-making requires a "culture of discipline" that emanates from training and leadership. As he watched news across the country last summer, Tusken said, he saw some officers de-escalate tensions, even showing kindness to protesters. A small minority fired on nonviolent protesters. "Why are they still in policing? Why are they not being held accountable?" Tusken asked. "I'm outraged to see it. The narrative becomes 'All cops: bad.'" State Rep. John Thompson said the cycle never seems to end. In 2016, a close friend, Philando Castile, was pulled over by an officer in a Minneapolis suburb and shot five times as his girlfriend's 4-year-old daughter looked on. The officer was acquitted. At Castile's memorial viewing, Thompson said, he vowed to change things. Four years later, as an elected official, he witnessed officers firing less-lethal projectiles at protesters outside the 3rd Precinct station. "There were peaceful people there exercising their rights," Thompson said. "There's this big bang from a canister, and rubber bullets are flying everywhere."

| Lady Gaga and J.Lo Sell ‘Well’ Building Seal, But It’s a Payday, Not a PSA Posted: 26 May 2021 02:40 AM PDT dWeb.News Article from Michael McAuliff  Viewers could be excused for thinking Robert De Niro was just being a good fella in an ad promoting safe buildings amid the covid pandemic, along with the likes of Jennifer Lopez, Lady Gaga and Michael B. Jordan. This story also ran on The Daily Beast. It can be republished for free. They would be wrong. De Niro and the other A-list celebs are backing something called the Well Health-Safety seal, offered by the International Well Building Institute. The organization, a for-profit subsidiary of a decade-old real estate service company called Delos, is piggybacking on post-pandemic anxiety to profit by popularizing its healthy building certification program. "Feeling safe should be a right for all, not a privilege for some," De Niro says in one spot. What the ad doesn't tell viewers, though, is that the seal itself is something of a privilege that must be bought. Companies pay — sometimes a lot — to be judged on a range of categories. Some relate directly to covid (such as air quality), but others are less easily measured and have little obvious link to the pandemic (community "connectivities"). And De Niro, plus Venus Williams, Wolfgang Puck and even New Age guru Deepak Chopra, is being well paid to endorse the Well seal in a carefully planned and executed campaign. "We compensated them for their time," IWBI President and CEO Rachel Hodgdon confirmed in an interview, explaining that the effort was modeled on a green schools campaign she ran several years ago at the U.S. Green Building Council. She declined to specify how much it cost to harness all that star power, or how much the company is spending to air the ads. A spokeswoman said the spots have run nationally since late January on more than 30 networks, including Bravo, MTV, TBS, FX, Paramount, CNBC and CNN, but said the dollars spent "are confidential." The cost is certainly substantial. Data from the ad-tracking firm iSpot.tv shows that the institute has spent nearly $500,000 to air six ads. "What I wanted to do with this campaign was make it very much in the style of a public service announcement," Tony Antolino, the chief marketing officer at Delos, told Ad Age. But the effort very much services the bottom line of Delos. Not to be confused with the diabolical corporation of the same name in the HBO series Westworld, Delos was founded in 2009 by former Goldman Sachs partner Paul Scialla with the aim of linking real estate to the health and wellness industry. The company has raised $237 million from investors, including Bill Gates, according to Forbes. In interviews, Scialla describes himself as an "altruistic capitalist." He told the Los Angeles luxury lifestyle publication Dreams that he saw "a unique opportunity to merge the world's largest asset class — the $180 trillion worth of real estate — with the world's fastest growing industry — wellness." Putting together an all-star cast for a for-profit venture took some doing. "It wasn't a fast process, because each of these celebrities and influencers has a rigorous process through which they filter any opportunity," said Hodgdon, who also got director Spike Lee to ask questions of the famous "ambassadors." "We went through a pretty intensive process of educating the celebrities and the teams that work with them on why there was heft and legitimacy behind what we were putting out there," she said. She recalled Lady Gaga saying in one interview, "Look, I really believe in what you all are doing. I said yes to this because I think that this is really important." Having clean, healthy buildings is undoubtedly important for many. It's especially so for the International Well Building Institute, which is using its seal as a gateway into its broader building certification services. "What's been exciting for us is that a lot of our customers who are entering in through the Well Health-Safety Rating are now beginning to upsize their commitment to achieve a full-on wellness certification, which is so important," Hodgdon said. The price for the health seal starts at $2,730 and rises to $12,600. Getting seals for multiple locations or franchises can run up to $166,000. Starter costs are cheaper if a property owner already buys the broader certification service. That starts at about $9,000 and rises to just over $100,000. Additional testing services start at $6,500. Delos launched the certification standard in 2014 after what the institute says was a rigorous peer-reviewed process. The program is modeled on the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED program, and uses the Green Building Council to verify its work. Hodgdon worked there for a decade before moving to the IWBI, along with the Green Building Council's founder, Rick Fedrizzi. The certification covers 10 categories, including such easily measured things as air and water quality, sound and temperature, and harder-to-pin-down items such as mental health, community "connectivities," movement and nourishment — all backed, Hodgdon said, by science and study. Whether meeting all the standards in those categories will also lead to a building's occupants becoming healthier and fulfilled probably will take a long time to prove. The company points to case studies — some done by its own workers and clients — that suggest the holistic approach pays off. Independent experts — scientists, doctors, engineers, mental and physical health experts, and others — who helped evaluate the initial standard described the concepts as sound. "They asked provocative questions. They were interested in what experts had to say. I thought it was a pretty good process," said Ellen Tohn, an assistant professor of epidemiology at Brown University who runs an environmental engineering firm and is listed as a peer reviewer. Still there's no guarantee it actually works. Even the well-regarded LEED program often doesn't live up to its hope and hype. "It seems rather obvious: Skepticism is in order," said John Scofield, a physics professor at Oberlin College in Ohio who has extensively studied the LEED program. Scofield noted that there is very little empirical data that can be used to verify the effects of certification programs, since landlords often refuse access to researchers. "Owners have little to gain by allowing someone to study the performance of their building. They have already garnered the green publicity and marketing that goes with the label," he said. "In the end, all of these programs, no matter how well-intentioned, turn into marketing and money." While Delos' program appears to be the most ambitious attempt to create an independent arbiter of building health, there are others, including some run by nonprofits. Another option for builders less focused on the mind-body connection and more on just air quality is the Environmental Protection Agency's Indoor airPlus certification program. It's free. KHN (Kaiser Health News) is a national newsroom that produces in-depth journalism about health issues. Together with Policy Analysis and Polling, KHN is one of the three major operating programs at KFF (Kaiser Family Foundation).

| Posted: 26 May 2021 02:40 AM PDT dWeb.News Article from  Technology Leaders Say Government Should Follow Existing Commercial Preference Rules for Software WASHINGTON – May 26, 2021 – (Newswire.com) The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) should ensure that government agencies are applying well-established commercial preference regulations when it comes to purchasing software, 44 leading technology companies and three alliances wrote in a letter to President Joe Biden today. The signatories point out that federal law already requires federal agencies to prioritize procuring commercial software, but those rules are not always followed to the detriment of taxpayers and government effectiveness. Companies including Salesforce, Palantir, Splunk, DataRobot and associations including the Alliance for Digital Innovation, the Alliance for Commercial Technology in Government and the Silicon Valley Defense Group are among the organizations calling for the change. Too often, departments and agencies fail to apply commercial existing preference regulations to software and technology procurement. Instead, the government opts to build systems internally or contract out for complicated bespoke systems. This is contrary to private sector best practices, and with good reason: software development efforts fail upwards of 90% of the time according to some estimates. When these efforts do fail, it is the taxpayer who pays the price. In contrast, cutting-edge software and technology companies offer superior off-the-shelf products that have already been proven in the commercial sector, take advantage of private sector innovation, and, in many cases, can be deployed quickly. “It isn’t a secret that enterprise software is incredibly hard to build and usually fails before it succeeds — especially when the government tries to build software itself,” said Matthew Cornelius, the Executive Director of the Alliance for Digital Innovation. “When federal agencies procure commercially available software, they buy something that already works, allowing agencies to leverage innovative solutions more quickly. The Biden Administration must double down on commercial solutions as a key to their agenda. Our message to the Administration: buy, don’t build.” “For years, we’ve heard a lot of rhetoric about the urgency of preparing for great power competition. If it is really urgent, and I think it clearly is, the government has to act like it,” said Mac Thornberry, former Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee and member of the Silicon Valley Defense Group’s board of advisors. “That means acquiring systems now that are tested and proven and can be readily adopted, rather than waiting — sometimes for years — to build systems from scratch that may never work and are likely to be outdated if they do.” Technology companies are asking for the OMB to correct this practice by sending clear guidance to agencies and departments that long-standing requirements to procure commercially available solutions also apply to software and technology acquisition. “The most innovative technology in the world is being developed by the U.S. private sector but, too often, federal agencies are missing out,” said Dave Vorland, the Executive Director for the Alliance for Commercial Technology in Government. “You find out during a crisis what technology works and doesn’t work and it is consistently commercial software that responds best when government efficiency is most critical — as we have seen during the COVID-19 pandemic.” In their letter to President Biden, these companies “specifically request the Office of Management and Budget provide clear guidance to federal agencies to ensure the existing statutory requirements for commercial preference are followed. We also encourage the Administration to require any software or technology acquisition to include the opportunity for the private sector to participate in live technology demonstrations alongside any custom-built options. Ultimately, the best solution should always win.” About The Alliance for Digital Innovation The Alliance for Digital Innovation (ADI) is an association of commercial companies helping to shape innovation in government. ADI’s mission is to enable American innovation. The coalition was formed to serve as a unified voice for commercial innovators interested in driving existing and emerging commercial technology into the public sector. ADI is focused on driving IT modernization with a focus upon innovative commercial technologies. About The Silicon Valley Defense Group The Silicon Valley Defense Group seeks to ensure the U.S. and its allies achieve a durable advantage in the global techno-security competition. To achieve this goal, we create the nexus of pioneering ideas, people, and capital that will unlock new sources of innovation for national security and power the digital evolution of the defense industrial base. About The Alliance for Commercial Technology in Government The Alliance for Commercial Technology in Government is a new trade association representing innovative commercial tech startups across the nation, advocating for policy changes to improve how the government does business and leverages modern technology. The Alliance will serve as a representative voice to policymakers, advocating for funding, procurement processes, and other policies and regulations to make the federal government operate as effectively and efficiently as the modern commercial marketplace, obtaining cutting-edge technologies at the speed of relevance. Success will strengthen our commercial technology sector and the capacity of our government to solve big problems and regain our lead on the world stage.
