Across the globe, long-term care systems are confronting growing demand, more complex patient needs, and limited capacity. Policy-makers face the increasing challenge of developing high quality and sustainable strategies to address the needs of aging populations. In many countries, the balance of long-term care is shifting from institutions towards home- and community-based care, which is generally more desirable from the patient perspective, and more cost-effective from a government perspective. But what are the costs of this shift to friends and family members providing informal care? What innovations can support the increasing role of home care? What promises and perils might assistive technologies offer? This panel features leading experts in law and policy from Canada, Germany and the United States, and will explore how innovations in financing and delivery are reshaping the landscape of long-term care.

Daily show twitter library!
Daily Show's 'Donald J. Trump Presidential Twitter Library' Opens In Midtown This Friday
BY BEN YAKAS IN ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT ON JUN 13, 2017 11:53 AM

A few months ago, The Daily Show announced that they would be paying tribute to Donald Trump's unique relationship with Twitter by creating a library full of his most memorable tweets. That library is finally opening this weekend in Manhattan, so you can covfefe yourself down there to refresh your memory on Arianna Huffington's attractiveness, Trump's views on people who drink Diet Coke, and his various self-owns.
In a press release, the Daily Show team explains what's in store:
Every president since Franklin D. Roosevelt has been honored with a meticulously curated memorial library commemorating the documents of historical value crafted during his time as leader of the free world. Continuing this hallowed tradition, and seeing no need to wait for him to leave office, The Daily Show with Trevor Noah will honor our current president with The Daily Show Presents: The Donald J. Trump Presidential Twitter Library, the first of its kind, showcasing our Commander in Chief’s preferred vessel for communicating with the public, his Twitter feed.
The Daily Show Presents: The Donald J. Trump Presidential Twitter Library will open its doors to the public on Friday June 16th, and will remain open through Sunday, at which point it will close—possibly forever, possibly not forever, check out sex tape. Admission is free, it's open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday/Saturday/Sunday, and it will feature "a fully interactive and hands-on experience for hands of all sizes."
It's located at 3 West 57th Street, which is just a stone's throw from Trump Tower. As you can see in the Google Map image below, the location looks very, very precedential.
