M56A AIRSOFT SHOTGUN
The UTG (M56A FIXED STOCK) M3 shotgun is modelled after the well-known Marui M3 Shorty which has been in service for several years. These unique pump action shotguns fire three BBs in one shot so these are actual airsoft “shotguns” and not just single shot airsoft guns that look like shotguns. This multi-shot capability is accomplished by three separate barrels inside of the shotguns main outer barrel. Other multi-shot shotguns use just one inner barrel so the velocity and range of the BBs are far from consistent. When the UTG M3 shotgun is fired it sends three BBs streaking towards your target in spread pattern capable of taking out multiple targets. The barrels are mated to a honeycomb of three pistons which are powered by dual overlapping main springs so each BB travels at the same velocity. They leave the barrel in a tight group no wider than a penny and gradually spread out for a real scattergun effect. Because of this they are not the best at long range engagements but will unleash havoc in close quarter scenarios. The tightness of the spread can be varied by changing the weight of the BB. For a widespread use 0.20g BBs and for tighter spreads use the heavier .25g BBs.
Constructed out of heavy duty ABS with metal parts this shotgun is extremely solid. They used very few lead weights in this gun so it may be lighter than you would expect however do not let this fool you. The M3 is built like a tank. The pump action fits closely to the guide rails and is anchored to two metal action bars so when you rack the forearm it goes straight back without any flex. The butt pad, forearm and pistol grip also have a nice rubber like coating on them for extra grip. Metal parts include the magazine tube, front sling mount, loading gate, trigger and rear sling mount.
Its magazine looks exactly like a 12ga shotgun shell and is good for 10 x 3 shots. The shell is inserted into the loading port just forward of the trigger. True to its real steel, fire spitting counterpart, the UTG M3 packs a serious punch. Each BB is fired at 275 fps with the combined kinetic energy of 2.1 Joules. Needless to say, this shotgun is devastating at close range.
Overall the UTG M3 is a solid, well-built shotgun. With its massive power and multi-shot capability, it is sure to become your next spring gun.

I am proud and happy to be working with those creative & inspiring people and am recommending each of them from the bottom of my heart.
Oscar is a filmmaker based in Canada. He graduated from television studies and specialises in wedding cinematography and corporate films. He produced my very first image video for Elemental Move. I felt confident and comfortable throughout the process and am truly amazed by the outcome. Working with Oscar is an ongoing exchange of creativity on a profound and professional level.
As you might know by now music is the source of inspiration for me. Therefore, it was very crucial to choose the right piece of music for my image video. I felt an instant connection with ‘Manannan’ and Piers Oak-Rind was so kind to let me use this wonderful track in order to enhance my message in the video.


text: Annie Balliro, Laurie Graff en Leigh Jackson are women who live and work in New York. They have divergent ages and careers, but they have at least one thing in common: they are single and (desperately) looking for a man. Not an easy mission in a metropolis where women have a majority in numbers and every man in the street can choose from a wide selection of beautiful and willing women. In a snazzily edited and conceived documentary, director Dree Andrea presents three portraits of these women. She follows them in their work, at home, going out and when they, sometimes with irony, reflect on their situation. This leads to sometimes painful outpourings and conclusions. She also spoke with friends and family of her protagonists. Mr. Right is also a portrait of the city of New York, which like a jealous and demanding mistress asks so much of its inhabitants that they lack the time and energy for discovering their true desires.

A church congregation in rural Nevada is continuing its 9-year legal fight over water rights with government agencies.
Ministerio Roca Solida, a small church located in Pahrump, Nevada, in 2006 purchased a 40-acre plot of land in the Amargosa Valley. The congregation used the property, which included a stream running through it, for baptisms and church retreats – “an oasis,” as Pastor Victor Fuentes called the property.
But in 2010 the church’s “oasis” changed when the the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service diverted a part of the same stream on nearby federal land. USFWS said the diversion was part of a restoration project that could help an endangered fish.
That diversion has caused flooding on the church’s property whenever it rains significantly, causing damage to the property, attorneys for the church say. They also claim that USFW diverted the water without doing the proper environmental assessments.
“It’s completely changed what [Ministerio Roca Solida] are able to do out there – their ability to help people and minister to people,” said Cody Wisniewski, an attorney for the Colorado-based Mountain States Legal Foundation, which is handling the case.
A federal court ruled that the water diversion and subsequent property damage didn’t constitute a taking or property, but allowed the church’s case to proceed on grounds of the flooding. Lawyers for the federal agency have argued that the water diversion didn’t cause the flooding on the church’s property and that flooding was not “reasonably foreseeable” when the agency began the restoration project.
The churchalso made its case in an administrative hearing last week before the Nevada State Engineer to establish water rights on its property.
While the federal court said the church doesn’t have established water rights, Wisniewski says the Nevada State Engineer can still determine water rights within the state.
The state’s engineer previously determined that the church had a plausible water right, but the church would like that right to be changed to allow for different usage.
The church submitted a proof of vested water rights that proves the property benefited from water use for irrigation prior to 1905, and asked the Nevada State Engineer to change its water right from irrigation uses to domestic and recreational uses.
“At the end of the day, the Nevada State Engineer has the ability to determine whether or not our claim is plausible,” Wisniewski said. “If it is plausible, then they can approve the change application, which would then require under Nevada state law a certain flow of water be delivered back to the church camp.”
It will likely be several months before the engineer makes a decision, Wisniewski said.
We now have a Date for our appeal hearing on our water rights claim before the Nevada State Engineer. We are excited to finally get here. The results of this hearing will have a significant impact on our Federal Court Case.
Please, if at all possible join us and show your support for getting this corrected.
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that pursuant to the authority set forth in NRS § 533.365, the State Engineer hereby sets a hearing to consider the matter of protested Application 88535 to commence at 9:00 a.m., on Tuesday, December 3, 2019, continuing through Wednesday, December 4, 2019, if necessary, to be held at the Nevada Division of Water Resources, Tahoe Hearing Room, 2nd Floor, 901 S. Stewart Street, Carson City, Nevada.POHWaterRightsHearing
Ellen M. Gilmer, E&E News reporter
The latest clash between federal land managers and Sagebrush Rebellion-style critics played out in tense but buttoned-up proceedings yesterday in a quiet courtroom in Washington, D.C.
There, government lawyers urged the U.S. Court of Federal Claims to toss a lawsuit from Nevada landowners who say a federal restoration project stole their water and flooded their land.
At issue is Patch of Heaven, a Christian camp on private land nestled within the Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge.
The Nevada church Ministerio Roca Solida bought the 40-acre site in 2006 for $500,000. At the time, a stream called the Carson Slough flowed across the property, feeding plants and a small pond and sometimes serving as a site for baptisms.
In 2010, the Fish and Wildlife Service, which manages all of the surrounding land, rerouted the channel in a restoration project to help the Ash Meadows speckled dace, an endangered fish that lives in the area’s warm springs.
Annette and Victor Fuentes, who own Ministerio Roca Solida, say the government owes them compensation for eliminating the stream from their property — except for a trickle of water the site claimed through a state permit — and rerouting it in a way that causes repeated flooding on another part of the parcel.
The couple teamed up with the conservative Mountain States Legal Foundation and attracted the support of Westerners opposed to federal land management, including the Bundy ranching family infamous for its conflicts with government agencies.
Speaking at a boisterous rally at Patch of Heaven last year, Ryan Bundy offered to demolish the FWS project himself (Greenwire, April 23, 2018).
The mood was decidedly tamer during yesterday’s hearing, where just five spectators — including one reporter and one court employee — listened to more than two hours of technical arguments involving property rights, water law and hydrology.
Judge Elaine Kaplan must decide whether to grant the government’s motion for summary judgment rather than allowing the case to proceed to trial.
The church’s claims are twofold: that the government’s elimination of streamflow on the land without payment amounted to an unconstitutional taking of vested water rights, and that the diversion project’s contribution to flooding was also a taking.
Justice Department lawyers yesterday disputed both claims. The government contends the landowners are not entitled to the water rights they claim, and, in any case, that issue should be adjudicated by the state of Nevada, not the Federal Claims court.
The two lawyers from DOJ’s Environment and Natural Resources Division also attempted to poke holes in the Fuenteses’ flooding claims, dismissing the plaintiffs’ expert testimony as unsubstantiated and noting that the broader area is prone to flooding.
“Plaintiffs would like this court to believe … that there was never flooding on that part of the property,” DOJ attorney Davené Walker said, adding that the area is part of a flood zone and has a well-documented history of such events.
Walker explained that to win a takings claim against the government for flooding, the plaintiff must show that FWS caused the flooding and intended or expected it to happen. Ministerio Roca Solida has offered no evidence to support either prong, she said.
Mountain States Legal Foundation lawyer Zhonette Brown, in turn, questioned the evidence presented by the government.
Kaplan, an Obama appointee, agreed with the government that Ministerio Roca Solida’s expert testimony appeared “a little thin,” but she questioned whether it would be appropriate to resolve the case in favor of the United States at this stage, without allowing the church to make its case at trial.
She also empathized with the Fuenteses on their loss of the stream, regardless of whether FWS’s project was lawful.
“I won’t say the word ‘screwed,'” she said of the landowners, eventually landing on the word “injured.”
The judge added that she’s never heard a water rights case or a flooding case before and will need some time to consider the competing evidence.
“Your Honor’s more than welcome to come out to the property,” Brown said, “so you can make your own conclusion.”

Resources for the Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment based
Proactive and Personalised Primary Care of the Elderly
Urinary incontinence (UI) is a treatable condition and intervention is cost effective both for the individual and for the wider healthcare community (Imamura M, 2010)
However, UI is also an undertreated problem that imposes a significant burden on a person's quality of life as well as that of their caregivers (Senra C, 2015).
The consequences of UI can be devastating; it is also associated with an increased risk of falls and fractures associated with toileting (Brown J, 2000), depression, social isolation, sleep disturbance, effects on skin resulting in moisture lesions, and increased risk of urinary tract infection (UTI) (Holroyd S, 2015).

Wondering why the AFLW clubs haven't been signing players for the 2019 season? The Collective Bargaining Agreement being developed by the AFL and Players' Association could be the reason.
The AFL and the Players’ Association group have been working tirelessly to try figure out the CBA for the AFLW competition.
An important factor is how the list payment models will be structured and the compensation which will be offered to clubs who have players join Geelong and North Melbourne.
Last season, tier one players were paid a fixed amount of $20,000 as part of the salary cap, while tier two players received $14,500 and rookies earned $8,500 for the season.
An ambassadorial payment was introduced last season which allowed clubs to spend up to $40,000 to two or more players.
Foxfooty.com.au have reported the AFL and AFLPA are expecting the list management and payment structure aspect of the CBA to be finalised in the next seven days.
The AFL have been looking at a model which would allow clubs more flexibility in what they pay their players as long as it is under the salary cap.
It is the more favoured model as it follows the more traditional system seen in the men's side of the game.

Glass exhibition Glass I by Kai Koppel
August 5 through August 31
Glass exhibition Glass II by Kai Koppel
Kai Koppel, a well-known Estonian glass artist, will celebrate her 60th birthday on August 7th, 2012. Since the artist chose Evald Okas Museum in Haapsalu to be the venue of the celebration, this idea smoothly developed into a more extensive exhibition project to be held in the same museum. According to the artist's present plans, her anniversary exhibition will be located on both floors of the museum.
Kai Koppel has decided to include pieces from her earlier work in order to form an extensive retrospective exposition - thus, the old large-scale glass pieces that have been packed for years will have a chance to see the daylight again.
In the 21st century, when the era of Soviet-time gigantic factories with craftsmen possessing specific glass making skills and large-scale sculptural glass forms has become a history and intimate small-scale forms have taken over, colourful glass and big forms of glass art in Kai Koppel's work since 1980s denotes an independent value in cultural history.
Koppel's present exhibition in Haapsalu involves about 200 pieces of glass art; a separate group of large-scale work is being compiled by the figures, vases and objects synthesizing natural forms, made of colourful glass and with the height of approximately 50 cm. This work represents a unique breakout from the rational consumer-based Soviet glass art. In 1980s, young glass artist Kai Koppel developed her own artistic style that was based on opposition while starting her personal rebellion towards the established values in conventional glass art. Koppel applied irrationality to her working method opposed to the rational, geometrical and functional style while allowing plenty of space to coincidence and the ability of expression of glass itself. The artist replaced consumeristic qualities with symbolic values when extensively following the examples taken from natural forms and archaic eras of architecture.
There is no equipotent Estonian glass artist surpassing Kai Koppel's bold treatments of colour, as there is no young artist who would use glass and colour with similar enthusiasm as Kai Koppel.
As being the first one intensively using colourful glass, Koppel had to invent experimental technologies in order to find the functioning interrelation between colours. According to the artist, when one's artistic vision is based on large-scale glass forms, the whole glass making process will become experimental. One has to take risks in such a process and to be ready for taking lots of broken glass our from the furnace.
Kai Koppel leaves the act of fetishizing of an object or an item to the buyers of glass - she has admitted that she is unable to follow such a pattern herself. What matters to Kai is the process, the various regimes and phases of glass making.
It has been 25 years since Kai Koppel last produced the large-scale forms out of colourful glass with glass blowing furnaces.
Since 1990, the artist has produced studio glass, as a new trend in her artistic career. She has built her own glass furnaces for this purpose. Studio glass forms a separate exposition line at the current exhibition, including engraved glass sculptures. Those are the objects that are rather addressed to the consumer - such as her rustic drinking bowls and cups. The third exposition line could be compiled out of Koppel's artistic experiments, including peculiar looking glass products that have been born as an additional value out of the glass making process where glass is being formed by itself and the result will be left open for coincidences.

Mangoes are not only delicious but also a nutritious fruit, making them a tempting option for a late-night snack. However, many people wonder whether it is safe and healthy to indulge in this tropical delight before bedtime. Let’s explore the potential benefits and drawbacks of eating mango at night to satisfy those midnight hunger pangs.
Is It OK to Eat Mango at Night?
Yes, it is absolutely okay to eat mangoes at night, provided you do so in moderation and consider a few factors. Mangoes are a rich source of essential nutrients like fiber and potassium. The high fiber content aids in digestion, and the presence of potassium supports heart health and helps regulate blood pressure.
One of the main concerns with eating before bedtime is the potential for weight gain, as the body’s metabolic rate slows down during sleep. However, mangoes are relatively low in calories compared to other late-night snacks like sweetened confectionery and junk food. Moreover, the fiber in mangoes helps you feel fuller for longer, reducing the chances of overeating during the night.
Mangoes also contain tryptophan, an amino acid that supports the production of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that promotes relaxation and sleep. This natural sedative effect could potentially help improve sleep quality, making it a suitable bedtime snack for those who struggle with insomnia or sleep disturbances.
However, it is important to remember that every individual’s body is unique, and some people may be more sensitive to consuming certain foods close to bedtime. If you experience any discomfort, bloating, or acid reflux after eating mangoes at night, it might be best to avoid them as a late-night option.
When Can You Not Eat a Mango?
While mangoes are generally safe to eat at night, there are certain situations when you should avoid consuming them, regardless of the time of day.
If you have a known allergy to mangoes or related fruits such as cashews or pistachios, it is essential to avoid them altogether, even at night. Allergic reactions can range from mild symptoms like itching and hives to severe reactions that require immediate medical attention.
Individuals with certain gastrointestinal conditions, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or acid reflux, may find that consuming mangoes at night exacerbates their symptoms. The high fiber content and acidity of mangoes can lead to discomfort, bloating, and heartburn in sensitive individuals.
Diabetes or Blood Sugar Issues
Mangoes are naturally sweet and contain natural sugars, which can cause a spike in blood sugar levels. If you have diabetes or struggle with blood sugar control, it’s essential to monitor your intake and consult with a healthcare professional before including mangoes in your diet, even at night.
Weight Management Goals
While mangoes are nutritious, they do contain calories, and excessive consumption, especially at night, can contribute to weight gain if not accounted for in your overall diet. If you are actively trying to lose weight or maintain a specific caloric intake, be mindful of your mango consumption.
Enjoying a juicy mango as a late-night snack can be a healthy and satisfying option, given that you don’t have any specific health conditions that contraindicate their consumption. Just like any other food, moderation is key, and listening to your body’s response is essential in determining whether eating mangoes at night is suitable for you. So, the next time you find yourself craving a snack before bedtime, consider reaching for a ripe and delicious mango to satiate your hunger and boost your health simultaneously.

If you are one of those out there that believe that Facebook has no place in the classroom, then, well maybe this post isn’t for you. But please first take a look at just a few reasons why you should reconsider:
The fact is, the majority of your students and their parents are probably already on Facebook
Even when schools have a policy against being “friends” online, there are tools you can use that won’t violate policy
Despite what you may hear, there are strong privacy options that you can set up so only those that you want can access your information
We have an obligation as educators to model appropriate online behavior and learn right along our students
An estimated 7.5 million children under the age of 13 are already using social networks. They are lying about their age and sometimes doing so with their parents’ encouragement. Often, children who have parents serving overseas in the military or grandparents in faraway states see social media as a chance to share photographs and life experiences.
Kids’ first interactions with the Internet and social media should not include deception. Facebook already provides increased privacy protections for children between the ages of 13 and 17, but in their haste to use the service, many teens lie about their age, missing out on existing safeguards. We don’t want to teach children to lie to their parents or to the services that they are using, but we also don’t want them to lose out on the chance to connect with others and to learn.
Instead, we should empower parents and children to engage together, to keep them safe and to help them successfully navigate the online world.

TEACHERS SHOULD not befriend their students on Facebook and other social networking sites, according to a new code of conduct agreed by the Teaching Council, the group that regulates the profession.
The new code is the first attempt to set down clear guidelines on use of social media for 70,000 primary and second-level teachers in the State. It comes amid growing concern in school communities about bullying of students and teachers on Facebook and Twitter.
Last month four students were expelled from a Dublin school after posting “vile sexual allegations’’ about their teachers on Facebook. An appeal by the four against their expulsion from Oatlands College, Stillorgan, will be heard later this month.

Over the last 8 years, Facebook has played a pivotal role in higher ed. While it’s beginning was just with current college students, Facebook now plays an influential role in a student’s transition from their high-school network and into their new college community.
In a recent sample of 163 colleges we found 50% of them are using a Class of 2016 community to allow students to meet one another, ask questions, and discuss life before they step foot on campus.
While this is a best practice for universities looking to build community and improve yield, rarely do we hear exactly what students are talking about, which conversations are most engaging, and how the medium affects the message.
In order to shed light on these qualitative aspects, we analyzed a dozen Facebook Pages and Groups for the incoming Class of 2016 at private universities in the U.S.

A Queensland primary school principal is threatening to expel students aged under 13 who refuse to delete their Facebook accounts, in a bold bid to stamp out cyber bullying at her school.
The policy has been applauded by cyber safety experts who say schools are grappling to deal with a surge in problems caused when children use social media sites designed for adults.

Should students and teachers ever be friends on Facebook? School districts across the country, including the nation’s largest, are weighing that question as they seek to balance the risks of inappropriate contact with the academic benefits of social networking.
At least 40 school districts nationwide have approved social media policies. Schools in New York City and Florida have disciplined teachers for Facebook activity, and Missouri legislators recently acquiesced to teachers’ objections to a strict statewide policy.

A new software tool will help journalists see breaking news tweets as they are happening. The program, called Seriously Rapid Source Review, is still under development — but will act like a sieve that pull tweets from key sources currently sharing reports, images and video from the ground. Researchers at Rutgers University and Microsoft developed Seriously Rapid Source Review to give journalists access to breaking news like never before. Reporters won’t have to comb the web — or Twitter’s 200 million tweets a day — for sources. Nick Diakopoulos, one of the project’s authors, stated in a blog post that the program was built to deal with how much news is breaking on social media these days. Its features should help journalists distinguish accurate and trustworthy sources. SRSR features include automatic identification of eyewitnesses with approximate 89% precision and will list users in various archetypes — journalists, bloggers, organizations or unaffiliated citizens. To avoid a false tweet problem, such as the preemptive report of Penn State football coach Joe Paterno’s death in January, SRSR will use context clues to assess the verity and credibility on sources based on their Twitter profiles. The program will determine where a person says they are, plus look at the locations of friends and followers within a source’s network. Another component will look at the top five most mentioned companies, people or places mentioned in someone’s feed. The SRSR culls data from Twitter profiles, user-provided descriptions, data from follower and following lists. A report based on a search term will compile the sources sharing tweets that match the search terms. SEE ALSO: How Whitney Houston News Broke — and Exploded — on Twitter The SRSR is still in its development stage.

Al Alam Palace
This royal palace in Oman is owned by the Sultan, who has retained the property through eight generations.
Presented in partnership with:
Upon entering the historic Central Library in Downtown Los Angeles, one might consider they have entered a spiritual place of worship due to its style of murals and architecture. Constructed in 1926 and designed by architect Bertram Goodhue, the complex is the third largest public library in the United States in terms of book and periodical holdings.
Designed with influences of ancient Egyptian and Mediterranean Revival architecture, the focal point of the historic library is the Rotunda where intricate murals by Dean Cornwell illustrating a mythological history of California covers all the walls. High above the grandiose space hangs a Zodiac Chandelier, representing the Earth surrounded by 48 light globes – the number of US states at the time.
The Central Library was extensively renovated and expanded from 1988 to 1993. According to the principle architect, Norman Pfeiffer, it was designed in partial mix of Modernist and Beaux-Arts. The plans included an eight-story atrium wing dedicated to former mayor Tom Bradley. Today, the library contains an area of 538,000 square feet, and has nearly 89 miles of shelves and seating for over 1,400 people.
The Library received the National Medal for Museum and Library Service, the nation’s highest honor, given to museums and libraries for service to the community. The award recognizes the library’s programs that help people on their path to citizenship, earn high school diplomas and access health and well-being services.

Kerry has announced its Explore Umami and Kokumi campaign, an initiative that invites food product developers to access the company’s extensive resources on these two intriguing tastes.
Related: Kerry Group to Reach Two Billion People with Sustainable Nutrition Solutions
The campaign includes a research report that explores umami trends in Asia, called Redefining Umami: An exploration of umami and flavour-building, which is a report that talks to chefs across Asia to gain their perspectives about consumer taste preference and hot trends in their culinary space.
The research showed four key areas:
- a move toward taste complexity
- consumer acceptance of sour, bitter and umami tastes
- increasing call for holistic taste experiences
- reduced public acceptance of processed, industrialized food production
These and other themes are examined in this exploratory report as it discusses building taste using traditional Asian ingredients. Topics discussed include dashi from Japan, tempeh from Indonesia as well as kimchi, jang and sikcho from Korea.
The campaign also includes articles that explain how umami and kokumi work synergistically to deliver authentic and complex taste possible. Together, the flavors ensure depth and roundness for savory products in a variety of applications, including prepared meals, soups, sauces, snacks, meat and meat-alternatives tailored to suit local markets.
In addition, Kerry has developed a taste lexicon for umami and kokumi, as well as a portfolio of clean label solutions in this space. The lexicon allows for a unified, agreed-upon language for Kerry and its customers to use when describing savoury notes in umami and kokumi.
Kay Marshallsay, Ph.D, Kerry’s global product director, fermentation said, “There’s an enormous emerging opportunity in savoury taste for chefs and product developers around the world to create new and exciting food innovations based on umami and kokumi. To assist in the process, Kerry first spoke to chefs across Asia about how they create umami and kokumi tastes, and then worked to develop ways to make these scalable and accessible to the food industry at large. This new research report provides an on-the-ground perspective that details the emerging global taste trends emanating from Asian cuisine.”

In a report published in March, Verdantix identified five security software companies that the analyst said are leading the market in their ability to integrate capabilities into their platforms. The report, Green Quadrant: Integrated Smart Building Security Software 2023, places software providers Everbridge, Genetec, Honeywell, Johnson Controls, and Siemens in the highest group—the green quadrant—for their standing on both axes of momentum and capabilities. Verdantix also analyzed the offerings of Bosch, Brivo, LenelS2, Motorola Solutions, and Schneider Electric, which continue to evolve and expand their platforms and capabilities.
The report, Verdantix explained, “highlights the ability and growing importance of solutions to unify security operations.” In a press release, principal analyst and report co-author Sandy Rogers stated, “Our research indicates that security-related software investments are top of mind for many organizations, with over half of facilities and corporate real estate executives planning to invest, replace, or extend their deployments in physical access and security software. As the role of security expands within the connected enterprise and building landscape, vendors need to be constantly innovating and adapting to changing client needs.”
“Our research indicates that security-related software investments are top of mind for many organizations, with over half of facilities and corporate real estate executives planning to invest, replace, or extend their deployments in physical access and security software."
Among other characteristics, Verdantix evaluated security-software vendors on the extent to which they are following—or leading—five trends in the space: integrating multiple security systems into a single platform, providing visibility into multiple building systems, transitioning to cloud-native administration, customer/occupant experience, and the inclusion of artificial intelligence and machine learning into the software.
Integration. Overall, security software providers are improving their platforms’ integration capabilities. Verdantix cited Genetec as an example. The latest version of the latter's Security Center platform, released in September 2022, provides access to modules that manage video monitoring, access control, intrusion monitoring, license-plate recognition, and intercom. Its out-of-the-box capability “simplifies the path to unification,” according to Genetec.
Cross-facility operations. In a similar vein, Verdantix recognized some security-software platform providers’ are streamlining cross-domain facility operations to produce greater insights into building operations. For example, Honeywell, Johnson Controls, Schneider Electric, and Siemens are “building out digital suites that can tie together various systems and sets of information, allowing organizations to capitalize on Internet of Things systems and innovations such as digital twin technology, and more readily incorporate third-party security solutions.”
Cloud-native transition. The continued rise of cloud-based security systems has driven evolution among some platforms, particularly including those from Johnson Controls and LenelS2, whose recent development efforts have focused on transforming their software to be cloud- and edge-native.
LenelS2, the physical-security business of Carrier, describes its Elements platform as “mobile-first and browser-based.”
Occupant experience. Verdantix’s report pinpointed Brivo as a provider whose platform ties into occupant-experience applications; for this capability, among others, Verdantix gave Brivo high marks for momentum. Earlier this year, Brivo published its annual report of security industry trends, which states that 84% of security professionals believe user experience with access-control systems is important or extremely important. And 65% of the more than 600 security professionals surveyed worldwide cited user convenience as a benefit of mobile access control, which Brivo says indicates the growing popularity of using an occupant’s mobile device for access control over a traditional plastic fob.
Brivo founder and CEO Steve Van Till said the “key takeaways” from this year’s trends report is “user experience and convenience are vital considerations for security professionals today.” Verdantix sees it similarly and lauded Brivo for its accommodation of building occupant experience.
AI and ML. The study also covers the nascent incorporation of artificial intelligence and machine learning into security-software platforms “to address analytical challenges, such as filtering out alarm noise or assessing potential threats.” Verdantix found that video analytics from some providers, including Bosch, Brivo, and Motorola Solutions, can be considered as a means of automating identification and forensics tasks.

Dwarf Gourami | Colisa lalia
Labyrinth Fish / Belontiidae / Dwarf Gourami
Profile: Dwarf Gourami
Synonyms: Colisa cotra, C. unicolor, Trichogaster lalius, T. unicolor, Trichopodus lalius, Trichopsis lalius
Physical description: The body is oval-shaped with strong lateral compression. The anal And dorsal fins begin in the frontal part of the body, and extend nearly to the fan-shaped caudal fin. The ventral fins are long and filamentous. Males are generally orange-red with numerous transverse strips which are light blue in color. The back is orange and the belly is silver-turquoise. The dorsal, caudal, and anal fins are orange with patterns of light blue markings. The ventral fins are also orange. Females are duller in color.
Size/Length: To 2.2" (5.5 cm)
Similar species: The Dwarf Gourami may resemble C. fasciata and C. labiosa, although it is rarely confused with these species.
Habitat: Inhabits vegetation choked floodplains of Bengal and Assam (of India) and Myanmar (Burma).
S: middle, top
Aquarium: A tank measuring 20" (51 cm) with a capacity of 10 gallons (38 L) is recommended. The substrate should be dark to bring out the colors of this pretty fish. Plant the corners and sides of the tank heavily and allow open swimming areas in the middle. A few floating plants are recommended to provide areas of shade.
Water chemistry: pH 6-7.5 (6.8), 2-18 dH (6), 73-82°F (23-28°C)
Social behavior: This timid species is peaceful towards other species. An excellent community fish for those tanks housing other peaceful fish. This species can be kept in pairs or in groups. At spawning times, males defend a large territory.
Suggested companions: Tetras, other Colisa species, danios, Corydoras
FOOD: Live; insect larvae, Tubifex, insects, crustaceans; flakes; occasionally algae; pellets; tablets
Sexual differences: Males are more colorful than the silvery females.
Breeding techniques: The male constructs a bubble nest of bubbles and plant debris in a shallow tank. The water should be soft to medium hard (2-6 dH) and slightly acidic (pH 6.2-6.9).
Each act of spawning (embracement) results in 50-200 eggs, until 400-600 eggs are laid. The male spits the eggs into the nest. Remove the female at this point. The male will care for the brood, although he should be removed when the eggs hatch 24 hours later. Start feeding the fry with infusoria and roftiers, then with Artemia nauplii. The fry must be frequently sorted according to size or else cannibalism will occur.
Breeding potential: 6. Breeding is not difficult.
Remarks: This is among the most popular of all Labyrinth Fish. Through selective breeding numerous color variations have been produced. Included among these are the Neon Dwarf Gourami, the Sunset Gourami, and the Fire Gourami.
Difficulty of care: 3. This hardy species is somewhat sensitive to poor water conditions, thus frequent partial water changes are recommended.

Man Charged With Murder In Death Of CPS Hoops Star
CHICAGO (CBS) -- Authorities have charged a Far South Side man with the murder a former star athlete last month.
As WBBM Newsradio's Keith Johnson reports, the victim, Michael Haynes, 22, was killed just months before he was set finally to achieve his goal of playing Division I college basketball.
LISTEN: WBBM Newsradio's Keith Johnson reports
Cinque Lee, 20, of the 11600 block of South Vincennes Avenue, was charged just after 6 p.m. Wednesday with one count of first-degree murder in Haynes' slaying, said Cook County State's Attorney's office spokeswoman Tandra Simonton.
Lee will appear at a bond hearing in Violence Court (Br. 66) at noon Thursday, Simonton said.
Haynes, 22, was shot dead while trying to break up a fight among several men over a stolen necklace near his home, said his cousin Kandice Blouin, 25.
Police said he was shot in the wrist, chest and lower back about 5:10 p.m. in the 11600 block of South Vincennes Avenue. Acquaintances dropped him off at MetroSouth Medical Center in Blue Island, where he was declared dead about 6:25 p.m., authorities said.
Blouin said several men were shoving each other when Haynes pushed the shooter, who pulled out a gun and shot him.
Hayes' basketball career involved a number of destinations. In May he committed to Iona College in New York and it looked like his dream of playing Division I basketball was finally coming true.
"He was an innocent victim, very loved by everybody," Blouin said. "He was our meal ticket. He was going to heal this hood and they took his life."
As a freshman in high school, he averaged 20 points and 10 rebounds at Corliss High School. Sophomore year, he teamed with Deandre Liggins at Washington and led the Minutemen to the city championship game at the United Center, where they lost to Simeon and Derrick Rose.
"When I got the news I was devastated. I was hurt," said Steve Dockery, who coached Haynes at Corliss. "I don't know what's going on anymore.
"I know he had just signed with Iona. He talked with my son [former Duke player Sean Dockery] last week and Sean told him he should get out of Chicago as soon as he could."
Hayes left Washington for Fenger after his junior year, but wasn't eligible to play. He wound up at Heat Academy in Virginia, then committed to University of Texas El Paso but never played there. Haynes eventually landed at Indian Hills Junior College last season, where he played well enough to get offers from a number of Division I schools.

Seminar on education policies in Pakistan
The Department of Education organized a National Dialogue and Book-Launch Seminar, which was attended by deans, faculty members, representatives of the Higher Education Commission and the Punjab Higher Education Commission, the Chief Executive Officer of Education in Rawalpindi, and students from various fields of education.
The Department of Education, in partnership with Oxford University Press, held a seminar and book launch event at Fatima Jinnah Women University Rawalpindi, called "Education Policies in Pakistan: Politics, Projections, and Practices."
The Department of Education organized a National Dialogue and Book-Launch Seminar, which was attended by deans, faculty members, representatives of the Higher Education Commission and the Punjab Higher Education Commission, the Chief Executive Officer of Education in Rawalpindi, and students from various fields of education. The seminar began with the recitation of the Quran and the playing of national and university anthems. In his opening remarks, Prof. Dr. Malik Ghulam Behlol, Dean of the Faculty of Education, discussed the major challenges facing educational policies in Pakistan from 1947-2022. The seminar included discussions on topics such as the single national curriculum, graduation and Ph.D. policies of the Higher Education Commission, literacy and primary education, madrassa education, language policy and medium of instruction, curricula, and textbooks, and the socio-political context of education policies and plans. Additionally, the seminar delved into issues such as the problem of massive borrowing without considering contextual realities, poor implementation mechanisms, insufficient funding for the education sector, lack of clarity in the vision and direction of education, the debate over the medium of instruction, and the absence of evidence-based decision making in education policy.
During the seminar, Dr. Syed Waqar Ali Kousar discussed how the education policies in Pakistan lack direction regarding the medium of instruction and the vision of Pakistan as a theoretical and liberal state. Professor Dr. Jumani, President of the International Islamic University Islamabad, stressed that the issue of a uniform curriculum cannot be solved by a single national curriculum without providing equal and sufficient resources throughout Pakistan. Prof. Dr. Nasir Mehmood, Acting Vice Chancellor of Allama Iqbal Open University, suggested that the Higher Education Commission should involve university faculty in the development of Ph.D. and graduation policies to promote institutional freedom and open dialogue among academia.
Dr. Naazir Mehmood, a prominent intellectual, emphasized that the government should prioritize education by fulfilling their financial allocation commitments instead of just paying lip service. Dr. Shahid Siddique, former Vice Chancellor of Allama Iqbal Open University and author of the book "Education Policies in Pakistan: Politics, Projections, and Practices," emphasized the importance of formulating policies based on reliable data, setting priorities, and building capacity and ownership among stakeholders. The participants asked questions from the speakers about various aspects and challenges of the educational system in Pakistan. The Vice-Chancellor, Dr. Saima Hamid, emphasized that the discussion should lead to conclusions and policy briefs for submission to the Higher Education Commission and the National Planning Commission of Pakistan to address the gaps in existing policy documents. She praised the efforts of the Department of Education for organizing the national dialogue, which was much needed. The dialogue was moderated by Dr. Salma Nazar Khan and administrative arrangements were handled by Dr. Frakhand Jabeen, Dr. Hajira, and Dr. Yasir. The seminar ended with a vote of thanks by Dr. Farhana Khurshid and a photo session.

The ‘Centrist’ has calmed his parties left as he starts his admin…
We’ll see how long this lasts as the reality of the political world intrudes….
Two weeks into his presidency, Biden has collaborated with the left, co-opted it and, for the time being, won it over. Progressives in Congress and across different policy organizations say Biden and his team aggressively reached out to them from the moment it became clear he’d be the Democratic nominee through his time in office. It could fall apart as Biden’s attention drifts toward more complicated issues that may require Republican buy-in. But, so far, what was once seen as a vulnerable flank for his presidency has been surprisingly secure.
“They’ve been very good at tending the garden,” said Sen. Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii). “I don’t know if that’s because the president is a creature of the Senate or that their team needs a lot from congressional Democrats, but they have been super responsive and done their politics with precision.”
It wasn’t expected to go this way. Biden’s 36-year career in the Senate was regularly attacked by progressives during the campaign. Biden’s penchant for moderation and deal-making with Republicans was seen as a harbinger for bad bills to come, liberals warned.
So far, those fears haven’t been realized. In fact, progressives say his eagerness to tend to Congress has made him more acutely aware of the populist impulses driving the Democratic Party right now. Biden’s White House is directly and frequently engaging the left in ways his former boss, President Barack Obama, never did.
Two weeks of a presidency is hardly much of a record. And one lingering question remains for progressives: When Biden can no longer pass wishlist items with only Senate Democratic votes, how much political capital will he expend to pass things like immigration reform, gun control, and police reform through an evenly split Senate….

Of Cops and Bumper Stickers: Notes Toward a Theory of Selective Prosecution
11 Pages Posted: 8 Jul 2008
Date Written: June, 27 2008
The author, Professor Richard Delgado, takes as his point of departure a remark by the chair of the University of Colorado committee that voted academic sanctions against Ward Churchill. This essay explores the role of retaliatory motives in academic misconduct cases. In Churchill's case, Colorado authorities delved deeply and painstakingly into Churchill's publications only when it appeared that the state could not fire him from his tenured position for his inflammatory remarks on the victims of the 9/11 tragedy. What bearing should the investigation's relation to the hue and cry that led to it have on its own legitimacy?
Professor Delgado examines various possible frameworks for analyzing cases like these and argues that the committee chair's way of seeing the matter was the incorrect framework.
Keywords: civil rights, academic freedom, academic sanctions, fair employment practice, freedom of speech, First Amendment, Ward Churchill, University of Colorado

The Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy group concentrates on the development and application of dedicated NMR strategies for the characterization of organic and polymer (hybrid)materials, including organic semiconductors for photovoltaic devices and bio-inspired materials for bio-electronics . Focus lies on the quantitative, non-destructive and non-invasive identification of the molecular structures (microstructure, end-groups, defects…) and of the molecular dynamics and phase morphology at the nanometer level. This in order to unravel the structure-property relationships of advanced materials by means of modern liquid-state and solid-state NMR methods, including dedicated relaxation experiments on almost all NMR-sensitive nuclei. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) methods can be applied to determine these molecular properties locally.
Attention is always paid to complement NMR strategies with other analytical techniques towards the understanding of complex structure-property relations.
The second key area of the group concerns the detection of metabolite biomarkers for early diagnosis, screening and treatment follow up of diseases (e.g. breast and lung cancer) by advanced NMR spectroscopy.
Furthermore, strong synergy is aimed between education and fundamental/applied research.
The NMR group also acts as a supporting unit to other IMO-IMOMEC groups and has also a longstanding tradition in joint scientific R&D and servicing with industry and research centers.

This is a big hit at my house and pretty cheap to make too!
- 1⁄2 cup raw spaghetti, broken into 1 inch pieces
- 3⁄4 cup raw white rice
- 14 1⁄2 ounces broth (any flavor)
- 2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
- In medium skillet saute' broken spaghetti pieces in butter, stirring constantly, until the spaghetti begins to brown.
- Add rice, stirring until the rice is well coated with the butter and the spaghetti browns a little more Carefully pour in broth.
- Simmer until liquid is absorbed.
If I didn't know it wasn't Rice A Roni, I wouldn't have known it wasn't Rica A Roni! We LOVED it! We usually eat the chicken and mushroom flavor, so that is what I attempted. I replaced the broken pasta with orzo because I already had it. I used 2 cups of water and a tablespoon of Better than Bouillon Chicken flavor, plus I added 2 or 3 dried shitake mushrooms (broken up) and some garlic powder and onion powder. Oh and a little dried parsley. I browned the pasta and rice together like the original, and cooked it for 20 minutes after adding the liquid. Also, when it was all done, I added a splash of Half and Half. It was AWESOME! Next time, I think I will add just a bit more bouillon. Awesome recipe! Thanks so much for sharing!
I made this tonight and it was sooooo good and easy!! I loved that I get to choose what i want in it. The only thing i did different was i added 1 clove of garlic and 1/4 onion chopped at the begining. My husband is pretty picky, so this is nice because i can make his (beef- will use beef instead of chicken broth) and mine (this recipe) without having to waste 1/2 a box of each. Thanks so much for sharing this! I will definatly have to make this again!
I've made rice this way many a time, and it's good to see that others enjoy it, too! I usually use thin angel hair pasta instead of of spaghetti. There are a lot of things you can add in to this recipe, as well, such as dried minced onion, chopped green onion, almond slivers... all sorts of things. Just as commercially-produced Rice-A-Roni is versatile, so is doing it the old fashioned way. :)

text: Jul 3, 2013 17:11 Marrero teen killed; shooter said it was accidental Marrero teen killed; shooter said it was accidental Advocate staff report July 03, 2013 Comments A teenager in Marrero died Sunday after being shot in what the shooter said was an accident. Christian Cardon, 23, told investigators he didn’t know there was a bullet in the chamber of his new AR-15 semi-automatic rifle when he pulled the trigger early Sunday morning. A single shot fired, striking 16-year-old Trey Stahl, of Marrero, in the neck, Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office spokesman Col. John Fortunato said. Stahl was pronounced dead at the scene, Fortunato said. Cardon, 23, 1718 Gulf Drive, Gretna, was booked into Jefferson Parish Correctional Center on one count of negligent homicide. Cardon told investigators that he had brought his recently purchased rifle to a friend’s house at 2026 James Drive in Marrero to show to a group of five people, including Stahl. Before bringing the gun inside, Cardon removed the magazine and left it in his vehicle, Fortunato said, but failed to realize there was still a live round in the chamber. He walked inside and, when he attempted to clear the weapon, it fired, striking Stahl, Fortunato said. It was the second time in a week that a child has been killed in what authorities are calling accidental shootings. Brandajah Smith, 5, shot herself in the head with a .38 caliber gun June 23 after her mother left her locked and alone in her house on North Galvez Street. Brandajah’s mother, Laderika Smith, 28, a convicted thief and prostitute, was booked with second-degree murder in the child’s death. The charge, punishable by an automatic life sentence, came after prosecutors and police believe Smith was grossly negligent in leaving her daughter alone with a loaded weapon in the house. Louisiana has the nation’s second-highest rate of childhood gun deaths, after Alaska. In 10 years, more than 1,000 children were killed by bullets in the state — 739 were murdered, 224 committed suicide and 89 were killed accidentally. Gunfire is one of the top three causes of death for children nationwide — killing twice as many as cancer, according to a report issued by the American Academy of Pediatrics. The rate at which children are inadvertently shot to death in Louisiana is three times the American average. Between 2007 and 2011, at least 89 kids in the state were killed in what is classified by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as the accidental discharge of weapons.
