Report on Forensic NGS Landscape and How to Enhance it

Five years ago, DNA analysis was on the verge of a revolution with the advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology. NGS has since significantly impacted forensic laboratories, aiding in advanced DNA work and investigations. However, a new report from the NIJ’s Forensic Technology Center of Excellence at RTI International states that NGS is still in its early stages of adoption, and…

If black musicians were fond of Janis it was in part because she always credited performers who had influenced her. Odetta was the first singer Janis tried to imitate. “Every time Janis and I were in the same area,” she says, “Janis made a point to thank me profusely.” Janis even picked up half the cost of providing Bessie Smith’s grave with a proper headstone. Fiery Etta James was initially angry about all the attention Janis received, but she, too, was won over by her. “She gave me respect, and I began feeling proud to be her role model. When I heard her sing, I recognized my influence, but I also heard the electricity and rage in her own voice. She had balls. I loved her attitude.

I just spent 430 words infodumping about the etymology of the name of a Dutch-Austrian-French-German town which isn't even close to Montreuil-sur-Mer in a Les Mis fanfic, I hope Victor Hugo would be proud

Personality

Ciella is a very quiet, but friendly young woman, always doing her best to be as polite and approachable as possible upon initial meetings. …After she’s done staring off in silence, that is. She is highly observant with others as well as her surroundings, showing herself to be a generally patient and resourceful individual. She’s also a humble person for the most part, shown in a lot of her behaviors. She brushes off her talent as unnecessary upon inquiry, and down-plays any great acts of assistance or otherwise as being ‘not much’. She enjoys being helpful, as she wants to see others happy and thriving, with her mind-set being one of group harmony. If it seems that outcome is impossible, however, then she knows to back away and let things run their course. Ciella’s drawn to the frightened and meek, wanting them to feel included and cared about. She sees herself in that part of them, causing that attraction. Though, she knows to back off if she needs to.

Alternatively, she has a tendency to drop the polite and quiet schtick at times in favor of a more mischievous side. However, this is only around those she trusts most. Otherwise, she is awkward and slow in conversation. Even with that in mind, however, Ciella is no push-over. She’s not the type to sit quietly when there’s trouble afoot, and she’s more than willing to intervene if someone is causing problems. She can be very out-spoken and bold depending on the situation, molding her actions to each circumstance as best as she can. She prefers avoiding conflict if possible.

Though, that mind-set will go out the window if someone gets on her nerves enough or triggers a meltdown. Stubborn folk who cause unnecessary issues and quarrels irritate her to no end, and if someone ignores her attempts at mitigation long enough, she can become brash, fussy and rather annoying. Or, on the worse side of things, can become explosive and abruptly aggressive in short bursts, matching and even surpassing the chaotic energy in whatever moment it occurs in. At this point she can be childish and petty, doing things such as trying to intimidate the aggressors or even trying to pick physical fights. Though, even in her agitated state, she’s smart enough to pick and choose those fights wisely.

During her Hope's Peak Days, she attended the Academy as a transfer student from America, being scouted specifically as part of an experimental Global Program.

De Troubadour

Hij zat zo boordevol muziek, hij zong voor groot en klein publiek Hij maakte blij, melancholiek, de troubadour Voor ridders in de hoge zaal zong hij in stoere, sterke taal een lang en bloederig verhaal, de troubadour Maar ook ‘t werkvolk uit de schuur hoorde zijn lied vol avontuur; hoorde bij ‘t nachtelijke keukenvuur, de troubadour, de troubadour En in de herberg van de stad zong…

In the article "Premier Body Armor Fortis Level III+ Loadout Review — One LEO’s Take" on The Armory Life, veteran police officer and firearms instructor Alan M. Rice reviews the Premier Body Armor Fortis Level III+ Loadout, focusing on its effectiveness for protection against rifle threats. He highlights that many officers, especially in rural areas, must provide their own gear and that while ballistic vests are usually supplied, rifle-rated plates often are not. Rice praises the Fortis plates for being lightweight yet providing substantial protection, and he outlines his personal testing experience, noting the gear's comfort and ease of use during extended wear on a training course. With insights on the integrated Medical/Admin/Assault Pouch (MAAP) and Premier’s advanced trauma mitigation technology, the article serves as a comprehensive evaluation of the Fortis Loadout's value for law enforcement officers.
