Tennessee?s Largest Rural Water Utility Calls on Multi-Media Solutions Inc in Plan to Keep Drinking Water Safe from Terrorism
The Department of Homeland Security has focused on the safety of our nation's drinking water as an area of concern. Steps must be taken to reduce the vulnerability of our water supply to the threat of terrorism. Multi-Media Solutions, Inc., headquartered in Alcoa with an additional office in Brentwood, is a big part of the steps that Tennessee's largest rural water utility is taking to be prepared, aware, and responsive to situations from Mother Nature's fury to deliberate vandalism, or worse.When the Consolidated Utility District of Rutherford County, TN, began to pioneer its efforts to ensure the security of the public's drinking water supply against intrusion and contamination, they executed an infrastructure security plan using state-of-the-art technology. The core of the plan was the design and construction of a centralized command center, operating 24/7 to continuously monitor the reservoirs, pump stations, flow meters, pressure zones, storage tanks and distribution lines.Audio visual system integrators Multi-Media Solutions, Inc. are headquartered in Alcoa, with a Brentwood office headed by George Gates.
The MMS team designed and built the display system in the new command center to integrate and display system-wide visuals from surveillance and data, to be visible to personnel on a central video wall with 3 large screens. Maps, data, surveillance camera feeds and more are continuously displayed, including a system-wide map which depicts every reservoir, distribution pipe, valve, pump station, pressure monitoring station, water meter and even service vehicles! Live status data, plus GPS transmissions from the vehicles is updated and displayed, ensuring the ability to respond to system defects, disruptions, damage and potentially threatening incidents quickly and efficiently. The entire system can be monitored, controlled, and coordinated by one person. Any image can be resized, zoomed, and panned for greater detail and focus. Multi-Media Solutions' years of experience and expertise in cutting-edge technology integration allowed them to rise to the challenge of designing a system that was described by Larry McElroy, General Manager of the Consolidated Utility District, in this way: "The center's innovative display capabilities gives us a quantum leap in preparedness, situational awareness, resource coordination efficiency and response capability.".
Mike White, President of Multi-Media Solutions, Inc. states "The challenge was to integrate a myriad of incoming data and visuals of varying types. The system specifications required true real-time display of all signals, and the ability to manipulate the size and position of these images on the screens."Multi-Media Solutions, Inc. is a 15 year old design and integration company offering audio visual technology solutions for commercial, industrial, education and government markets. MMS is a member of the national USAV Group consortium, and has recently been awarded a GSA contract for a comprehensive array of audio visual technology and components.
MMS's corporate headquarters are in Alcoa, with an additional sales office in Brentwood, TN..

Get Radiant Skin Fast
Winter is a tough experience for any skin type. Even if you have an oily skin, you may suffer from severe skin dehydration due to prolonged exposure to central air heating, contrasting temperatures, and harsh winds. People with acne can hardly balance the act, torn between the need to calm down those nasty pimples with alcohol-based toners and pimple-drying masks and desperate need to slap on that comfy moisturizer. And those with sensitive skin suffer most of all. No matter what skin type you have in warmer seasons, winter skin care is all about care .
This means putting aside those oil-stripping toners, mattifying gels, face washes with scrubbing particles and face powder. In winter, you have to be mindful and adapt your skin care regimen accordingly. First of all, in winter your skin needs moisture to keep it supple and healthy. Humectants (to attract and retain moisture) and emollients (for a smoothing and softening effect) are essential, the more the better. That doesn't...

Monster Hunt: Ledge Lunker Blues
Summertime angling for trophy-sized blue cats on huge reservoirs can be tough. Peer across an expansive lake and the sheer vastness will seemingly swallow you whole. Where do you start? Do you just go out and look around with a good locator and hope to see some arches and begin fishing? Based on past experiences you know two things. Sometimes you have to drift. Other times you'll have to anchor.
How do you know which to do first and what types of structure are you looking for that will hold big burly blue cats? Procat pro-staffer Jeff Williams ardently targets big blues on Truman Reservoir and Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri. A lifetime of big-lake catfishing has taught him a thing or two about catfish behavior in reservoirs, and according to Jeff you can put more fish into the boat if you learn a few keys to summertime blue cat location. Before we get into the fishing part let's look at the two lakes Jeff fishes. Lake LedgesMany lakes around the country have different bottom styles...

LOVE is the Real Thing!!
Love was designed by GOD for relationships between himself and his angels & humans, and between each other. You cannot "love" yourself...that is why masturbation, with all its fantasies, is sin...it is self-centered (which is the fallen sin condition that Eve & Adam caused)! When we are saved by the Holy Spirit, we become others-centered like GOD is, and He begins to re-create us from the inside out (unlike "religion" which tries to change people from the outside in...the core is still spiritually dead and is just a fake "veneer"). People use the soulish "masturbation" excuse that they have to "love themselves first before they can love others"....'self-love'?.[they usually never get around to others, in their life]....and real love wasn't designed to do that...it was only designed to be spent on others, like a water cycle! Real LOVE is what you do for ALL others that is in their highest or best interests, anytime, anywhere, selflessly (24/7)! C. S. Lewis wrote in MERE CHRISTIANITY that...

Breeding Crayfish
In the text below I shall try to give a short overview of some of the basics when breeding crayfish. Particular species may have other behaviours and demands. It should be said that my main experience as an aquarist is with relation to fish, but I shall try to convey what little knowledge I have. Sexing Crayfish Sexing crayfish isn't always easy. The genital openings are located in different places on the body depending on whether it's a male or a female.
Males have their genital openings behind/under their posterior pair of legs. Females have their genital openings under the third pair of legs counted from the posterior. However, many individuals have a male as well as a female genital opening, making the sexing much more complicated. But these are always either male or female; usually male but you can't be sure. Mating and egg carryingIn aquariums, spawning is possible any time of year.
The male makes a little sperm packet and places it on the female's stomach. The female...
