Knight Cap has returned for a new athletic year and it is good to be back.
For first-time readers, the purpose of Knight Cap is to keep the UCF community informed of all the happenings within the world of UCF sports, including sports that can go under the radar.
This past week (and some change) of UCF Knights sports saw Soccer enjoy its time in the limelight as the only UCF fall sport in action, followed by Cross Country joining the fray. Plus, we name the Knight of the Week and the Knights Play of the Week in your latest Knight Cap for Wednesday, September 6th, 2022
#13 Ole Miss Hands Women's Soccer First Loss
The UCF Knights Women's Soccer team's season-opening unbeaten streak came to an end Sunday night after a 2-1 loss to No. 13 Ole Miss.
The Rebels took control of the match in the first half, converting two goals in the 18th and 25 minutes separated by a lightning delay. However, the Knights came out quickly in the second half, scoring a goal in the 47th minute off the foot of forward Anna Henderson, with assists from Katie Bradley and Dayana Martin:

The Knights out-shot Ole Miss in the second half, 8-3, and orchestrated some late chances to equalize. On one occasion, Martin set up forward Mallory Olson for a header, but Ole Miss goalkeeper Ashley Orkus blocked it. Then, Ellie Moreno ricocheted one off the left goalpost.
Due to head coach Tiffany Roberts Sahaydak's assistant coaching duties with the U.S. Women's National Team, the Ole Miss game was the Knights' first game without either Amanda Cromwell or Sahaydak on the sideline for the first time since 1998.
In her absence, associate head coach Tim Sahaydak, her husband, assumed head coaching duties.
The Knights are now 2-1-2 as they travel up to Chapel Hill, North Carolina for a 1 p.m. Sunday afternoon match with the Tar Heels.
Men's Soccer Starts 2-1
The Men's Soccer team got above .500 on Labor Day with a 3-0 win over UC Riverside.
Forward Gino Vivi got the scoring underway early with a 6th-minute goal off an assist from Mauricio Villalobos.

Villalobos would add another assist later on in the game, setting up forward Lucca Dourado for his first (official) goal on the season in the 48th minute (Dourado had scored a goal in the game with Florida Gulf Coast on Friday, but it got wiped when that match was ruled a No Contest due to inclement weather.

The Knights added an insurance goal in the 68th minute from midfielder Josiah Ramirez, a redshirt junior playing in his first match of the season. It was also Ramirez's second goal of his UCF career, the first one coming just over a year ago against North Florida.

The Knights will take their 2-1 record out to the west coast on Friday at 9 p.m. ET to seek their first road win of the season against another school from the Big West, UC Irvine.
Cross Country Begins Season at Home
The UCF Cross Country team got its season off and running Friday evening by hosting the UCF Invite.
True freshman Isabella Richardson, a New Zealand native, led the Knights with a second-place finish in her first 5K on American soil, posting an 18:28.9.
The Knights brought home second place as a team, just 28 points behind first-place Florida.
Elsewhere in the field, true freshman Sofia Lantz droppedher 5K personal best by some 10 seconds, to 19:54.8 time. Sophomore Paige Kelly also set a new 5K personal best by nearly a full minute to 20:36.2.
The team heads to Huntsville, Alabama to compete in the North Alabama Showcase at 8:15 a.m. on September 16th.
For more about the team, check out our Cross Country preview, featuring special guest Anne-Marie Blaney.

Knight of the Week
Mauricio Villalobos, Men's Soccer
Take what's yours, captain #ChargeOn pic.twitter.com/hQqfgDQbug
— UCF Men's Soccer (@UCF_MSoccer) August 30, 2022
The captain of the men's soccer team returned for one more season and has exploded out of the gate in 2022.
Villalobos scored the game-winning goal against North Florida, taking advantage of an Ospreys mistake to snatch possession and send the ball into the back of the net.
With the FGCU match ruled a no contest, Villalobos officially followed that up with a two-assist performance against UC Riverside.
Play of the Week
This save from goalkeeper Caroline Delisle during the UCF Women's Soccer team's match against LSU got the No. 4 spot in the SportsCenter Top 10 for a reason:

'I Wouldn't Watch It': John Wick's Ian McShane Slams The Continental Prequel Series About His Character Winston
Although the John Wick franchise was able to expand beyond the core film series prior to 2023 thanks to some video games and a tie-in comic book series from Dynamite Entertainment, last year marked its entry into the television realm. Peacock subscribers were able to watch the three-episode limited series The Continental, which explored Winston Scott's origins in the 1970s. Colin Woodell starred as Winston in the prequel, but it turns out that Ian McShane, who plays the older Winston in the John Wick movies, is not remotely interested in watching this series.
McShane slammed The Continental while promoting his new movie American Star in an interview with MovieWeb, not mincing words by calling this John Wick tie-in project a "cash grab." He explained his feelings about it thusly:
No, I wouldn't watch it. I have no intentions - nobody - I don't think Keanu watched it, neither has Chad. It had nothing to do with our movies. It's just a question of a TV company cashing in on the series and taking the option to [air?]. They never asked us about anything so why would I be interested in seeing it? I'm afraid their arrogance in getting the show out is beyond me so I wish them well. I think it's come and gone, hasn't it?
Next to Keanu Reeves' John Wick, Ian McShane has been the second most important character in the John Wick film series. As the owner of the New York branch of The Continental hotel up until John Wick: Chapter 4, he proved to be one of John's closest allies, so of all the characters to score their own spinoff story, it's not surprising he was the first to be picked. But as Ian McShane shared, neither he, Reeves nor director Chad Stahelski have watched The Continental, with the Deadwood alum specifically seeing it as just trying to cash in on the success of the John Wick movies, and being disappointed that he and his cohorts weren't consulted for it.
Unlike the critical acclaim the main John Wick saga has earned, The Continental was met with mixed reviews from critics, boasting a 63% Tomatometer on Rotten Tomatoes and a 78% Audience Score. Between that, Ian McShane's prior issues with the production and there not being any plans for Season 2, I don't blame the actor for not wanting to check it out. One John Wick spinoff he doesn't have issues with, though is Ballerina, which is slated for a July release on the 2024 movies calendar. That's because he's a member of Ballerina's cast alongside Keanu Reeves and the late Lance Reddick, with the movies taking place between John Wick: Chapter 3 and Chapter 4.
Although The Continental is seemingly done for good and it's unclear if John Wick: Chapter 5 will ever be made, more projects for the franchise beyond Ballerina are either in the works under consideration, including another live-action TV show and an anime-style series. While we wait for news on that front, read through the 2024 TV schedule to learn what new and returning shows are lined up this year.

We've talked about the benefits of a healthy diet and lifestyle for your skin. But there's one simple thing you can do to get great skin: take smart supplements!
That's because the right nutritional supplements not only keep your skin look young and healthy, they can also help it perform crucial roles that impact your entire body.
And you need to supplement, even if you eat a healthy diet. I tested a group of my colleagues who don't supplement – they're all experts in health, nutrition, and fitness who know how to eat right. Every single one of them had vitamin or mineral levels that were less than optimal.
The lesson? If you want to look and feel your best in today's world, you have to supplement. Our environment and daily habits are just too toxic to rely on clean eating alone.
In Defense of Your Skin
Even if you do take nutritional supplements, chances are you don't consider how they affect your skin.
We tend to think about skin purely based on its appearance: Is it wrinkled? Is it dry? Do you have breakouts or dullness? But it's important to remember how many vital roles your skin plays to protect your entire body!
One of those jobs is defending against the threats in today's world, including UV rays from the sun, air pollution, and other toxins and chemicals. These common dangers trigger the production of harmful molecules that can damage your cells, leading to aging and other skin and health issues.
In fact, studies have shown that 80% of the signs of facial aging are due to exposure to UV rays from the sun!1That shocking statistic is why it's important to make sure you have the optimal nutrients and antioxidants to fight those damaging molecules and keep your skin healthy.
How to Supplement for Healthy Skin
The 3 supplements below provide the building blocks you need for young, vibrant skin, plus pack a powerful punch against the everyday stressors that can affect your skin.
Read on to find out my top 3 supplements for your skin…
- Fish oil. You've probably heard me rave about the amazing health benefits of fish oil, and those advantages don't stop with your skin!
Your skin cell membranes are partly made up of essential fatty acids like those in fish oil, which help create a barrier to water loss through the skin. When your body is lacking those fatty acids, more water can escape from your skin, leaving it dry and dehydrated.2,3
Supplementing with fish oil can help build up that barrier, keeping your skin soft and smooth. Not only that, the omega-3s in fish oil have been shown to improve inflammatory skin conditions and help reduce the risk of acne.3,4 Those are all great reasons to include a superior-quality fish oil supplement like Omega Ultra in your daily routine!
- Complete Multivitamin. The Complete Multi in my Daily Essentials Packets is loaded with an impressive list of nutrients that can improve the health of your skin.
It contains the power of antioxidants like vitamins C, E, and alpha-lipoic acid, to name just a few, that shield your skin cells from damage caused by the sun's UV rays and other hazards. Given that sun exposure is the leading cause of skin aging and skin cancer, protecting yourself isn't just about looking young – it's a matter of life or death!
Vitamin C deserves another shout-out for its role in the production of collagen, an important protein that provides stability and support for your skin and speeds up wound healing.6,7 To top it all off, studies show that vitamin C is linked to less skin wrinkling and younger-looking skin, too!8
My Daily Essential Packets include both fish oil and a complete multivitamin, making them the most convenient way to take great care of your skin.
- Digestive Enzymes. When you eat a balance of clean, lean protein, healthy fats, and slow-low carbs, you reap the rewards of those nutrient-rich foods… but only if your body can digest them.
Digestive enzymes hold the key to unlocking the nutrients in your food, including the protein and vitamins you need for healthy, glowing skin. But your body makes fewer digestive enzymes as you age or experience stress.9-12
That means your food doesn't get completely broken down, and you're not benefitting from all the healthy nutrition it contains. (Want to know more about why? Check out this article.)
Adding in a quality digestive enzyme supplement is a great way to give your body the boost it needs to break down your food more efficiently, so you can absorb all the good things it provides.
I told you it was going to be easy! When you include these 3 supplements in your daily routine, your skin has everything it needs to look and perform its best for years to come!
Thanks so much for reading this post! If you're interested in finding out more about how to dial in your diet and health, please check out my online programs. They're science-based and have already helped thousands of people feel better fast and lose the weight.

Spirit Fitness MT200 Medical Treadmill
Gait training treadmill for rehabilitation and physical therapy
MT200 Medical Treadmill combines many versatile features a clinician needs to make patients feel confident towards rehabilitation and improvement. Healthcare providers can utilize essential features as well as many adjustable options. For clinicians whose patients suffer from gait imbalances, both left and right side step lengths can be measured to document progress. Clinicians can refer to both graphical and numerical measurements provided on the display for precise reference.
The removable parallel bars offer handrail support for added patient safety. Adjustments can also accommodate users of various heights and fitness abilities. Bars adjust 25 to 35 inches in height, 20 to 31 inches in width, and the length extends to the full length of the deck. The removable step provides a lower step-up height for people who need a bit more stability getting on and off the treadmill. This is ideal for individuals who cannot make a big step - such as individuals with balance limitations, smaller range of motion, or older adults.
With many features, this easy-to-use console displays and downloads important workout data. Workout data can be downloaded directly to a computer via USB connection. Feedback windows display METs, symmetry, cadence, stride lengths, steps, and pace. You can easily select either preset or programmable modes for diverse, versatile routines. Programs can interactively adapt to patients' characteristics, using input info such as weight and gender as the basis to maximize their rehabilitation.
With two lift motors - one in front and the other at the back - clinicians can create uphill and downhill walking for patients. An overhead harness can be used for patients for less strenuous unweighted exercises. This type of exercise allows improved lower body movement training without the patient bearing his or her whole body weight on the treadmill. The deck can be elevated to accommodate unweighted exercises. The 3.0 horsepower continuous duty speed motor goes forward from 0 to 10 mph and reverse up to 3 mph. Reverse walking is helpful to train muscles not normally exercised during forward walking alone. Small speed increments can be easily adjusted for patients of all conditions and ages.
Features and Benefits:
- Parallel bars adjust up, down and in width for safety
- Multiple default and customizable programs are available
- The step makes access to the deck easier
- Data captures patient performance
- Motors create a platform for uphill and downhill walking
- The belt and deck are low-maintenance
- A powerful motor is bi-directional
- The program measures step length on right and left sides

Trojans retain the belt with a win over South Alabama
Published 10:39 pm Saturday, November 6, 2021
The Troy Trojans knocked off South Alabama 34-21 on Saturday afternoon, giving them their fourth consecutive win over their in-state rival.
The win gives the Trojans their fifth win of the season and they now sit 5-4 on the season and 3-3-2 in conference play.
The Trojans trailed briefly on Saturday, but scored 31 consecutive points to pull out the win.
Both starting quarterbacks were forced to leave early due to injuries on Saturday.
Trojan quarterback Gunnar Watson left in the first half after sustaining a head injury. He finished the game completing 11-of-14 passes for 121 yards. Taylor Powell finished the game, completing six of his 11 passes for 80 yards to go along with an interception.
South Alabama lost their starter Jake Bentley early in the first half, forcing backup Desmond Trotter into the game.
After falling behind early 7-0, Brooks Bruce got the Trojans on the board with a 22-yard field goal.
With 56 seconds remaining in the opening quarter, Jamontez Woods rumbled his way for a three-yard touchdown, giving Troy a 10-7 lead.
The Trojans increased their lead with a little trickery early in the second quarter. Tez Johnson took a surprise handoff and raced for a 31-yard scored and Troy led 17-7.
Woods scored his second touchdown of the half when he took a handoff and ran it in for a three-yard score.
The Trojans closed out their scoring late in the first half when KJ Robertson picked off a Trotter pass and returned it 32-yards for the score, giving the Trojans a 31-7 heading into halftime.
The Jaguars scored 17 unanswered points in the second half. The Jaguars got the ball back with 4:14 remaining in the fourth, trailing by seven. The Trojan defense held the Jaguars out of the endzone to preserve the win.
The Trojan offense rushed for 107 yards led by B.J. Smith who had 49 yards on 12 carries. Johnson led the receivers with four catches for 46 yards.

GOP senator: Ram tax bill through final stages so nobody figures out what's in it
West Virginia Republican Sen. Shelley Moore Capito is pushing her party to ram through its unpopular tax scam bill before more Americans discover what's actually in it. Appearing on the right-wing propaganda network Fox News, Capito revealed the cynical strategy she is advocating now that the House and Senate are working on a final version […]
Appearing on the right-wing propaganda network Fox News, Capito revealed the cynical strategy she is advocating now that the House and Senate are working on a final version of the bill.
The legislation enshrines giant giveaways to major corporations and the idle rich and is loaded with unpopular provisions. Capito tacitly admitted this fact, saying, "The more time that goes, I think the more nitpicking and the more likelihood that one member or another may find a certain thing they don't like."
Instead of favoring a calm and reasoned approach to legislation that seeks to rewrite the rules for millions of people, the entire economy, and by virtue of America's size, the world's economy, Capito said Congress needed to shove the bill through "as quickly as possible."
DOOCY: What's your biggest concern?
CAPITO: Well time is always a problem, and the more time that goes, I think the more nitpicking and the more likelihood that one member or another may find a certain thing they don't like. So, I think we need to be compact here, we need to have a good conference, listen to ideas and move it forward as quickly as possible.
Americans don't want the Republican bill. Ever since it was introduced, after being drafted in secret, the bill has been historically unpopular.
The legislation paints a target on the backs of the middle class and raises taxes on 87 million working families — families that some Republicans believe would waste their tax cut money on "booze or women." And it gives the ultra-wealthy a package of breaks and loopholes that further imbalance America's economic system.
It also works to erode the advances made in health care coverage thanks to Obamacare.
That's what happens when a bill is crafted by thousands of lobbyists representing special interests, not the citizens of the country.
Capito's comments reveal that the bill just cannot stand up to scrutiny, and the best Republicans can hope for is passage via a party-line vote under the cover of darkness.
Democrats are preparing to make them pay for this massive giveaway to wealthy donors at the literal expense of everyone else, while Republicans hope nobody notices. But it's too late for that.

text: (b. 1981, Lima, Peru) Jose Luis Carranza works long and strict hours, with work days varying from 2 to 16 hours, depending on the intensity required to fulfil the instinctive need that drives his practice. He completed his artistic studies during a time where it was believed that an artist should 'justify' his ideas, which he now seeks to destroy with his work. He does not enjoy painting, nor takes pleasure in it, but the need to control his anguish through the creative process is greater than the burden painting causes him. The artist works spontaneously, evoking memories of his childhood and early contact with life experiences. Despite the strong surreal imagery of his work, Carranza doesn't aim at creating an imaginary world, in his own words, he describes it as: "I don't escape reality, on the contrary, I move parallel to it". Carranza has had over a dozen of individual exhibitions, most recently "Historia Natural" in 2017 and "La celebración de las cenizas" in 2019 at Enlace Art Gallery, Lima, Peru.

Kiev should plan to sever all ties with Russia & only contact Moscow through 3rd parties, says former Ukrainian ambassador to US
Ukraine should be ready to completely cut all diplomatic relations with Russia. That's according to Valery Chaly, the country's former ambassador to the US, who believes Kiev should only communicate with Moscow through proxies.
Speaking to Ukrainian channel Espreso TV on Monday, Chaly said Kiev should be ready to break off all communication with Moscow at a moment's notice, and called Russia an "aggressor."
"It is necessary to prepare for this decision and, in case of further steps, to take it immediately," Chaly said.
In this case, Kiev would turn to another country to represent Ukraine's position and act as an intermediary between them. The diplomat did not name any particular country he had in mind.
Also on rt.com Biden administration wastes no time in provoking Russia with more military aid to UkraineIn response, the spokeswoman for Russia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maria Zakharova, said that the former ambassador's words "indicate a desire to find justification for the war unleashed by the Kiev regime against its own people," while the Kremlin envoy for Crimea, Alexander Molokhov, called Chaly's statement "a road to nowhere."
"Various madmen have gone on the offensive in the vain hope of cutting the umbilical cord still linking Ukraine to Russia with blunt scissors," he said, referring to the former ambassador and others.
Relations between Moscow and Kiev have deteriorated since March 2014, when Crimea was reabsorbed into Russia after a referendum. The vote is not recognized by most of the world, which views it as an illegally-occupied Ukrainian peninsula.
In the years since, things have continued to worsen, against the backdrop of the conflict in Donbass. In eastern Ukraine, two regions have declared themselves as independent, in a move which has not been recognized by any UN country, including Russia. Kiev has accused the Kremlin of interfering in its internal affairs, which Moscow denies. According to Russian authorities, the conflict in Ukraine is an internal matter.
Last week, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told journalists that Russia is "profoundly" concerned at the increasing tensions in Donbass. In recent weeks, reports from both sides of the conflict have noted an increase in violence.
"We are carefully analyzing the situation," Peskov said. "We hope that the leadership of Ukraine will manage to keep these formations and units … from further provocative actions and from building up tension."

Property operations and maintenance is not a one-person gig, then why does traditional CMMS treat it that way, asks Rajavel Subramanian, Co-founder & Head of Product.
While the technician is typically the one performing the maintenance, they are hardly the only stakeholder. For every property, there are occupants/employees, tenants/clients, vendors, technicians/field teams, managers, and executives. Each of them is invested in the operations of the building but sorely left out of the maintenance management process by existing CMMS platforms.
Let's look at the state of affairs with a typical CMMS, which is designed for just one stakeholder: The field technician.
On a typical day, the field teams perform maintenance and update the CMMS. This information is also shared via email, WhatsApp, and other communication tools. In fact, in one of our webinars, 47% of the audience said that their teams spend more than four hours a week on tools outside of their CMMS for collaboration/stakeholder engagement. The problems don't end there.
From these disparate systems, operations teams manually collect updates to notify occupants/tenants. They gather data and make reports manually. Managers and executives wait for anywhere between a week to a quarter to see portfolio-level reports. This results in:
- Occupants/customers being dissatisfied because raising service requests is tedious and updates are sparse
- Tenants losing trust in the property management teams due to poor service experience
- Vendors losing time and efficiency merely communicating updates
- Executives blindsided without the insights needed to make business decisions
A good Connected CMMS should give all stakeholders what they need and want — at the click of a button. It should go beyond maintenance to bring together people, processes, and systems. It should meet every ops stakeholder—from vendors to tenants to clients and executives— right where they are. With a good Connected CMMS, this is how your building operations might look.
1. Occupant experience: Improved comfort and satisfaction
Occupants are the ones who interact with the property, they are the end consumers. Yet, existing CMMS tools don't prioritize them. They don't offer anything by way of 'occupant experience' at all. So, there is no easy way for occupants to raise service requests, track issue status, interact with stakeholders in real time, etc. All of this happens outside the CMMS, mired by manual follow-ups over emails and phone calls. Even for the ops teams, current CMMS tools don't offer automated ways to send these updates, creating an overall sub-standard experience.
A good CMMS should eliminate these challenges. The occupant/employee portal should empower them to help themselves in the following ways:
Book spaces: Reserve conference rooms, parking spaces, lockers, etc., from their mobile app/kiosk. In the world of hybrid work, this is even more important for managers and executives to forecast occupancy, but we'll come to that.
Manage visitors: Occupants should be able to invite visitors, approve their entry into the building, share WiFi passwords, etc., frictionlessly. In the post-pandemic world, this should be touchless too.
Control comfort requirements: Turning up the heat or dimming the lights should happen right from their seat. More importantly, the CMMS must track their comfort requirements and automate them over time.
Raise service requests: While passing by the conference room and noticing that the projector isn't working, no occupant should wait to return to their desk and send an email. They should be able to raise a service request right from their mobile phone as they walk along.
Be updated: For all their requests, they need to get real-time notifications and the ability to give feedback.
A Connected CMMS is not just convenient, it also makes business sense. Our clients have seen a 13% increase in workforce productivity with the Facilio Connected CMMS platform.
2. Tenant experience: Better visibility and service experience
Tenants want to optimize employee/occupant experience to inspire collaboration and innovation in the workplace. Yet, the existing legacy CMMS platforms lack the features needed to make this happen. They do not offer a dedicated app/portal for tenants, push notifications/alerts, or social features like chat/comment. A good connected CMMS should enable that by filling gaps in visibility, communication and strategic interventions.
Visibility: The tenant portal must offer complete real-time visibility into occupant experience and compliance posture. It should allow them to raise requests, track status, monitor package delivery, etc.
Communication: Tenants need on-time notifications about events, security drills and other announcements. They must also have easy interactions for administrative tasks like giving approvals, responding to queries, etc.
Strategic interventions: They need a dashboard that gives them a real-time view of occupant experience — how many service requests are pending, what's the average resolution time, what's the occupant feedback etc. A Facilio client saw an 83% reduction in tenant escalations within months of implementing our connected CMMS.
Beyond that, they also need KPI-driven metrics to make organizational decisions. For instance, occupancy rates can empower them to redesign their space to improve returns; air quality metrics can help improve the health and wellness of their employees.
3. Contractor experience: Quick TAT and improved SLAs
Vendors and field technicians are evaluated based on how quickly and well they attend to service requests. To do this, some vendors use their own mobile apps, leaving ops teams dangling for updates. Others manage these service requests through emails, WhatsApp messages, and phone calls, forcing ops teams to spend inordinate amounts of time 'processing' paperwork instead of attending to customer needs. A good connected CMMS platform can change this.
Automating basics: Vendor portals must automate critical processes like insurance documentation, permits, contracts, billing, etc., freeing up vendors to handle customer relationships. This would also make it easier for ops teams to track/assign currently active vendors
Streamlining workflows: Field teams should be freed from the burden of using multiple tools to complete small tasks. They need automated work order management, technician assignment, status updates, notifications, feedback, etc., adding efficiencies at every step.
360-degree visibility: Across technician activity, SLA adherence, service request statuses, and escalations, having real-time on-demand visibility is the first step to optimizing turnaround times and minimizing inefficiencies.
A good connected CMMS must allow vendors to do their jobs, eliminating the inefficiencies of updates, communications, reporting, etc., from their desks.
4. Executive visibility: Real-time KPIs and control at scale
Managers and executives need organizational-level visibility into operations for enterprise-level optimization capabilities. Existing CMMS systems don't collect enough data or cover every process to enable this. So, the Tableau or Power BI dashboards that executives get are built using data gathered manually from disparate sources over time. This is often inaccurate and almost always delayed.
On the other hand, a connected CMMS can offer real-time visibility at the portfolio level. This enables leaders to:
- Get on-demand insights on assets, systems and team performance
- Measure ROI on key decisions
- Gain integrated view from across ERPs, ESGs, CMMS, etc.
- Benchmark property performance on custom KPIs
- Increase Net Asset Value (NAV) by improving performance and lifecycle at scale
A connected CMMS can also enable significant cost savings and new revenue streams. For instance, with simple IoT integrations with the connected CMMS, executives can have real-time access not just to occupancy but also to visitor movement. Based on these insights, they can forecast usage and perform demand-based HVAC management. They can track energy metrics to identify inefficiencies in the use of their assets and optimize them in real time.
Today, most existing CMMS is designed for maintenance management — to manage PPM, work orders and asset repository. This is not enough.
To thrive in the highly-competitive post-pandemic business landscape, you need a connected CMMS which adds value to every stakeholder.

Body & Brain
Knights' bodily burden, go-to-sleep nerve cells, rat empathy and more in this week's news
By Science News
It's hard being a knight
Knights decked out in battle gear use twice as much energy to storm the castle as their less shiny counterparts. Scientists from the U.K. and Italy tested energetic demands using fight interpreters wearing replicas of 15th century armor, which added roughly 40 percent to the interpreters' body weight. Metal-clad fighters took shorter, shallower breaths and used about double the energy they used when unarmored, whether walking or running on a treadmill, the team reports online July 20 in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B. Swinging metal-encased limbs required 63 percent more mechanical power. The authors suggest that heavy suits of armor may explain why French knights were walloped by the British during the Battle of Agincourt. —Nadia Drake
Sleep-inducing nerve cells
A sandman made of orange light can bring sleep to mice. Scientists engineered mice so that a small number of sleep-related nerve cells could be shut down by a beam of orange light. A zap of light silenced the nerve cells and put the animals to sleep. This effect worked only toward the end of the day, when nocturnal mice are naturally sleepy. The results could lead to a better understanding of narcolepsy, in which a similar group of neurons may malfunction, an international team of scientists reports in the July 20 Journal of Neuroscience. —Laura Sanders
Tired muscles, tired brain
Workout buffs know that exhausted muscles make the last rep in the gym sloppy, but new research shows that physical exhaustion tires the brain, too. In the study, participants held a weight with their arm extended for as long as they could. Immediately afterward, they were asked to imagine pointing at three targets while researchers timed them. When the arm was tired, participants imagined themselves speeding through the task, suggesting that physical exhaustion had crept into the brain. The results may help sports trainers design more effective techniques, French researchers write in the July 20 Journal of Neuroscience. —Laura Sanders
Untangling the brain's mess
A new study identifies the developing brain's cleanup crew. As brains grow, nerve cells form an excess of connections, many of which need to be culled. In newborn mice, cells called microglia infiltrate the brain and remove these superfluous connections, called synapses, Italian researchers report online July 21 in Science. These cells are known to slurp up debris after brain damage, but their new role in the developing brain is a surprise. The results may help researchers understand certain neurological disorders in which a brain has too many synapses. —Laura Sanders
Rat-to-rat empathy
There's little love lost between humans and rats, but rats show at least some signs of empathy toward their furry brethren. Female rodents who had experienced a foot shock in the past were more likely to freeze in fear when they witnessed a fellow female rodent get zapped, scientists in Portugal and the Netherlands report online July 13 in PLoS ONE. Rats who had never been shocked didn't vicariously freeze when they saw a cagemate receive a shock. Though the researchers don't know the emotional state of the rat, this contagious behavior may offer a way to study some aspects of empathy, the researchers suggest. —Laura Sanders

Delta Air Lines has launched a deceptive campaign against the federal government's Export-Import Bank alleging a variety of offenses detrimental to U.S. airlines. The gist of its complaint is that Ex-Im, as it is called, helps finance exports of Boeing widebody commercial transports that might be used to compete against U.S. carriers on international routes. The argument sounds plausible until you realize that it's cheaper for most foreign airlines to just secure financing from commercial banks, and the companies that actually do tap Ex-Im services could just as easily buy planes from Boeing's chief rival Airbus using European export credits. The closer you look at the details of Delta's campaign, the more it seems like a self-serving effort to improve one airline's competitive position at the expense of the nation's biggest exporter and the thousands of aerospace workers who might lose their jobs if Delta succeeds. I have written a commentary for Forbes that you can read here.

SASOD says legislative reform needed to help vulnerable communities fight HIV/AIDS
SASOD'S Managing Director Joel Simpson has identified gaps in legislation limiting LGBT+ persons' access or utilisation of HIV services.
Last week a historic meeting was held for the establishment of Guyana's first ever National Multi-stakeholder group on HIV-related stigma and discrimination.
This event focused on HIV as a social issue and achieving the 10-10-10 targets by fighting social barriers, such as stigma, which limits access to healthcare by vulnerable groups.
The 10-10-10 targets, call on countries to repeal punitive laws/policies that target key populations and to implement supportive laws/policies that combat stigma, discrimination, and gender-based violence as it relates to HIV.
For instance, in Guyana persons who wish to become members of the police force are now allowed to do so if they test positive.
As work continues toward this between the Society Against Sexual Orientation Discrimination (SASOD) and the National AIDS Programme Secretariat (NAPS) in collaboration with relevant stakeholders, SASOD'S Managing Director Joel Simpson notes that lack of legislative reform continues to limit progress on these issues.
"What are some of the other barriers that still exist in the laws to stigma and discrimination, particularly against key populations. For men who have sex with men in particular, we still unfortunately have laws which criminalise gross indecency in section 3.51 in the criminal law offences act."
Simpson acknowledges that certain societal stigmas still exist from the time when HIV first appeared in Guyana decades ago when there was a strong public perception that only men who have sex with men were susceptible to the virus.
Key findings globally show that the AIDS response was less successful in countries with laws that criminalise same-sex sex, sex work, and drug use.
Simpson further stated that offences surrounding sex work also limit sex workers, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity, from being open about what they do out of fear of being arrested.
These legislations further influence societal discrimination against LGBT+ persons, which will make persons in that high risk group more fearful to come forward to get tested. This leads to less persons knowing their status and thereby unable to access treatment. It also means that more persons are diagnosed later in life when treatment is less effective.
Simpson noted even laws and policies relating to the health sector should be revised, while calling for LGBT+ inclusive education in medical schools.
"It states in section 7 that every health professional shall observe the principles of respecting the dignity, rights and choices of the patient and among other things delivering healthcare without discrimination on the grounds of sex, age, race, ethnic origin, culture, spiritual and religious beliefs, lifestyle, or any other irrelevant consideration. So we see we need even with some of these regulations we need some updating to the language. We don't have sexual orientation or gender identity covered but I really don't think it could be referring to people's sexual identity."

A 2-Phase Strategy to Improve Diversity and Inclusion Practices
Diversity refers to the representation of races, ethnicities, and other minority groups inside an organization. Inclusion, on the other hand, refers to the extent to which the contributions, presence, and viewpoints of other groups of people are appreciated, as well as their level of integration within a setting.
McKinsey's examination of the companies it has evaluated since 2014 confirms the Business Case for gender and ethnic/cultural diversity in executive teams.
Despite evidence of a solid case for D&I, the majority of companies fail to adopt D&I in some manner. This is true regardless of the type of company in question — whether Leaders, Fast Movers, Moderate Movers, Resting on Their Laurels, or Laggards.
Despite the rising strength and clarity of the case for diversity, a number of organizations appear incapable of overcoming considerable obstacles to achieve stable and continuous growth.
Implementing a planned and self-assured approach to D&I and pursuing Inclusion with commitment is the most effective method for overcoming these obstacles.
Companies who are willing to take the initiative and undertake the essential measures to achieve real D&I success have tremendous performance potential.
Insights from a study of Diversity leaders and profound knowledge from research and experience on Diversity & Inclusion have contributed to the identification of effective measures and methods.
Effective D&I measures correlate to a two-phase, five-step strategy:
Phase 1: Systematic Business-led Approach to D&I
1. Guarantee representation of diverse talent.
2. Build up Leadership accountability and aptitude for D&I.
3. Facilitate fairness of opportunity.
Phase 2: Bold Steps to Strengthen Inclusion
4. Foster openness and confront discrimination.
5. Nurture belonging.
Let's go a bit more into a few of the steps.
1. Representation of Diverse Talent
In addition to making a business case for D&I reform, leaders typically explain their own representation goals. Particularly for senior, line-management, technical, and board jobs, hiring a diverse workforce is a top priority. In addition to addressing Leadership selection, these strategies address hierarchical gaps within the company.
2. Leadership Accountability and Aptitude for D&I
Essential to the establishment of an Inclusive culture, diversity leaders place their senior business executives and managers at the center of their D&I initiatives. The organization's inclusive leadership and accountability abilities are crucial for the placement of important executives. Both capabilities must reach middle management, where D&I is generally demoted due to the emergence of more pressing corporate objectives. Leaders in Diversity must surpass standard, mechanical bias training, and they do so.
3. Fairness of Opportunity via Impartiality & Openness
In order to create Inclusion, keeping and increasing Diverse talent is essential to consider equality and fairness of opportunity. Regarding Leadership attitudes, behaviors, and talents, diversity leaders guarantee Opportunity Equality and Fairness.
This is assured by the impartiality of the process for obtaining, selecting, and maintaining talent, especially in terms of professional progress and equal remuneration.

The purpose of Human Resources (HR) is to ensure our organization achieves success through our people. Without the right people in place — at all levels of the organization — we will never be able to execute our Strategy effectively.
This begs the question: Does your organization view HR as a support function or a strategic one? Research shows leading organizations leverage HR as a strategic function, one that both supports and drives the organization's Strategy. In fact, having strong HRM capabilities is a source of Competitive Advantage.
This has never been more true than right now in the Digital Age, as organizations must compete for specialized talent to drive forward their Digital Transformation Strategies. Beyond just hiring and selection, HR also plays the critical role in retaining talent — by keeping people engaged, motivated, and happy.

Proposition 15 outlined a split-roll property tax system in California, with commercial proper - ties being reassessed to market price every three years while residential property would continue to be taxed under the rules of the 1978 Proposition 13, which restricts increases on assessments to no more than 2%. Owners with less than $3 million in total commercial property would be exempt from the initiative, which was scheduled to go into effect in 2020. Supporters of Proposition 15 argued that increasing property taxes on commercial real estate would encourage the conversion of these properties into residential developments, thus alleviating the state's chronic housing affordability problems. Research by the Urban Institute determined that many commercial parcels in four major markets—Berkeley, Chula Vista, Fresno, and Los Angeles—were eli - gible to be converted from commer- cial or industrial use into homes. The Urban Institute study, lead-authored by Sarah Strochak, a research analyst in the Urban Institute's Housing Finance Policy Center, concluded that "long- term incentives for owners and developers to build/convert to residential uses are much stronger than for municipalities to rezone under medium and high price appreciation scenarios." Furthermore, supporters of Proposition 15 argued that higher commercial property taxes could be used to help fund public services, raising between $10.3 bil - lion to $12.6 billion annually. The trade journal EdSource predicted that 40% of those funds would be used to finance operations at K-12 schools and California's commu - nity colleges. California Gov. Gavin Newsom and President-elect Joe Biden supported Proposition 15 and the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, the philanthropic organiza - tion funded by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Dr. Priscilla Chan, donated $7.1 million to the campaign that promoted the referendum. However, commercial prop - erty owners were opposed to Proposition 15, arguing that it would force businesses to leave California while companies that remained would be forced to pay higher leases and other real estate- related costs, including insurance and maintenance fees. The San Francisco Examiner reported op - ponents to the measure raised $30 million to sway voters. "It would punish everybody that owns real estate and every tenant that has to occupy real estate," said John Kilroy, CEO of Kilroy Realty Corp. in Los Angeles, at a trade conference in September. "It would be one of the most insidious taxes, particu - larly at a time of great economic uncertainty and recession."

Le cœur d'un géant
Cœurs sains
Nous nous efforçons de construire Heureux, en sécurité Fort, informé Sain, équitable Résiliente, inclusive Un cœur sain Les communautés.
The Boston Public Health Commission recently found that 25% of Boston adult residents–one in four– reported having high blood pressure (hypertension). The percentage of hypertension was higher for the following groups; Black (36%) and Latino (27%) adults, as compared with White adults (20%). The prevalence rates ranged from 34% to 42% in neighborhoods with predominantly Black people.
Multiple studies have proven that in addition to regular doctor visits, a home-based BP control program run by non-physicians can provide efficient, effective, and rapid control (suggesting an innovative paradigm) for hypertension management. In addition, such programs are effective, sustainable, adaptable, and scalable to fit current and emerging national healthcare systems.
In response, Heart of a Giant's Healthy Hearts Program is set up to empower program participants to better manage and facilitate the prevention of high blood pressure through a culturally responsive, community-based, and technology-driven approach that provides comprehensive care tools, community-centered healthcare support, education, and guidance that engage and guide participants towards better health outcomes.
The mission of the HGF is to achieve better health outcomes for heart diseases and related chronic health conditions in our communities and enhance the quality of life through health education, care support, and connection to community resources.
Le site Programme "Healthy Hearts Communities" (2HC) est une initiative visant à aider les individus et les familles à gérer et à prévenir l'hypertension. Nous voulons y parvenir par le biais d'une adapté à la culture, fondé sur la communauté et basé sur la technologie approche, fournit un soutien complet en matière de soins de santé, d'éducation sanitaire et de coaching.
At HGF, we are driven by the African philosophy of Ubuntu, which emphasizes humanity, compassion, and social responsibility. We believe that instilling the philosophy of Ubuntu ("I am because we are") as a core principle of our organization will significantly help improve our communities' overall health and well-being.
Our Program incorporates successful and customizable Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) to monitor Blood pressure and other vital signs through monitoring devices and services to monitor related cardio-metabolic conditions. In addition, we may provide blood glucose monitoring for participants at risk of or living with Diabetes.
We collaborate with local healthcare providers and centers to recruit and support their patients and caregivers. In addition, we provide healthcare providers services to help the following outcomes for the participants.
See below for more information about the delivery methods and expected outcomes for each of the four pillars of the Healthy Hearts Program.

Dynamic resistance exercises, if done correctly, also contribute to lowering both systolic and diastolic blood pressures. The aim is to help participants whose medical providers have cleared them to begin participating in physical activity regularly, increase their physical endurance and muscular strength, and improve their mood by reducing the risk of hypertension and other heart diseases.
Healthy Diet and Nutrition
A healthy diet and nutrition play a significant role in sustaining a healthy weight, healthy emotional state, and well-managed blood pressure. The goal is to help our participants with the tools to help them eat better. Our Community Care Team supports participants in following a heart-healthy diet and eating plan. In addition, participants will receive complimentary grocery vouchers to promote healthy shopping and be presented with nutritional lessons and cooking classes.

They can also get free, confidential coaching through a telephone quitline. Lastly, the team will guide them to their medical team if needed.

In addition, the program utilizes available screening tools to assess the participants' mental health and well-being to identify opportunities to support them and their relatives.
Our Education and Coaching offer thematic health lessons. In addition to the core topics of high blood pressure, heart disease, and diabetes, this component will cover self-care management, self-advocacy, nutrition, and appropriate physical activity. The sessions are designed to meet the needs of community members regardless of educational achievement and health literacy levels. The classes will include: controlling blood pressure, eating heart-healthy, heart attack, stroke, and risk factors, knowing diabetes, learning hands-only CPR, heart health advocacy, and more.

HGF believes that social support and network characteristics are important in the onset and management of hypertension. As such, behavioral change interventions should consider participants' social networks.
Awareness of patients' social support and social network can help to develop effective and tailored interventions based on the network characteristics for improving treatment outcomes and lifestyle behaviors. For example, regarding behavioral adherence, they found that patients with more practical support from friends were likelier to adhere to behavioral recommendations.
A key component of social enhancements is linking program participants to peers, program alums, and local health and public health professionals. A community to promote and facilitate peer support and engage in hobbies, community, and cultural activities to promote their overall well-being and health outcomes goals.
Methods of Delivery
