March 9, Jean Murray came to Cordova to spend four weeks with her daughter. Three months later, that four-week visit is still going on, as Cordova has become a refuge from the coronavirus outbreaks and civil unrest that have manifested in parts of the Lower 48.
For Murray, the last few months have furnished an unexpected opportunity to connect with Cordova’s natural environment and its people…
WASHINGTON, D.C. — House Democrats are in Washington Thursday readying a vote on what they describe as “sweeping” policing reform legislation. But this comes after the Senate Republicans failed to pass a bill of their own, throwing a wrench into congressional policing negotiations. Yet both parties have the same goal: to pass one of the most ambitious policing overhauls in decades.

And as long as liberal-run cities continue instructing the police to stand down, expect to see more unconscionable episodes like the one that played out recently in Fredericksburg, Va…
| The NENA 3D GIS working group will produce a document that will define requirements and guidelines for handling of expression of caller location in three dimensions (X/Y/Z coordinates), including confidence and uncertainty. These guidelines will include methods to convert a height above ellipsoid (HAE) value to height about ground level (AGL) or floor level, so that the information is more meaningful in the field, as well as guidelines to construct GIS datasets that can handle three dimensional location data, such as road or building geometry… |
