ETSI is announcing the establishment of a new Software Development Group, called OpenCAPIF. OpenCAPIF is developing an open-source Common API Framework, as defined by 3GPP, allowing for secure and consistent exposure and use of APIsBeyond 3GPP APIs, OpenCAPIF can be leveraged for third-party APIs and will support other standardization activities by enabling PoCs, Plugtests, and API testing, in order to contribute feedback to standardization work. For instance, OpenCAPIF can support NFV deployments by enabling consistent API exposure by Network Functions, and it can also contribute to network automation scenarios in ZSM. Plus, at the edge, it can be used not only to expose MEC APIs but also to validate the mapping between ETSI MEC APIs and those defined for the Edge Computing Enabling Layer specified by 3GPP. SDG OpenCAPIF will collaborate with other ETSI software and open-source projects, such as Open Source MANO, TeraFlowSDN and OpenSlice, in order to share best practices and find synergies, joint activities, and opportunities for component reuse. The code developed by SDG OpenCAPIF will support specifications from 3GPP SA6 and SA3 Release 17, and it will seek to align and provide feedback for future releases. The newly-created ETSI group will enable developers to test their network applications using CAPIF to publish and consume APIs, reducing the friction and accelerating time-to-market for the deployment of these applications in 5G Networks. ETSI OpenCAPIF builds on code seeds developed by European Research. The OpenCAPIF community will find synergies and collaboration with external fora and open-source projects developing and exposing APIs such as TM Forum, GSMA, CAMARA, and LFE Sylva. For example, the code developed by SDG OpenCAPIF can be used as CAPIF Core Function (CCF), a cornerstone for the facilitation and testing of interactions among various functions and applications exposing and consuming APIs. This would be key to ensure alignment between the Linux Foundation and GSMA-backed CAMARA project and 3GPP Specifications. SDG OpenCAPIF will find collaboration and code reuse with CAMARA, in order to minimize code duplication and potential misalignments. “ETSI SDG OpenCAPIF represents a pivotal enabler that empowers network applications to seamlessly interface with 5G networks through APIs. It will significantly enhance service innovation and ecosystem diversity” says David Artuñedo, Telefónica, convenor of ETSI SDG OpenCAPIF. The founding members of the OpenCAPIF group include Fogus Innovations and Services, Keysight Technologies, Motorola Mobility, National Centre for Scientific Research Demokritos, Telefónica SA and University of Málaga. https://www.eenewseurope.com/en/etsi-new-software-development-group-for-common-api-framework/

Following a successful launch of NASA’s SpaceX 29th commercial resupply mission, scientific experiments and technology demonstrations, including studies of enhanced optical communications and measurement of atmospheric waves, are on their way to the International Space Station. SpaceX’s uncrewed Dragon resupply spacecraft, carrying about 6,500 pounds of cargo to the orbiting laboratory, launched on the company’s Falcon 9 rocket at 8:28 p.m. EST, Thursday, Nov. 9, from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The cargo spacecraft is scheduled to autonomously dock at the space station on Saturday, Nov. 11 at 5:21 a.m. and remain at the orbital outpost for about a month. Live coverage of the arrival will begin at 3:45 a.m. on the NASA+ streaming service via the web or the NASA app. Coverage also will air live on NASA Television, YouTube, and on the agency’s website. Learn how to stream NASA TV through a variety of platforms including social media. The SpaceX Dragon will deliver NASA’s ILLUMA-T (Integrated Laser Communications Relay Demonstration Low-Earth-Orbit User Modem and Amplifier Terminal), which aims to test high data rate laser communications from the space station to Earth via the agency’s LCRD (Laser Communications Relay Demonstration), as well as the agency’s AWE (Atmospheric Waves Experiment), which studies atmospheric gravity waves to understand the flow of energy through Earth’s upper atmosphere and space. The spacecraft will also deliver the following: Respiratory Health Research Gaucho Lung, sponsored by the International Space Station National Lab, studies how mucus lining the respiratory system affects the delivery of drugs carried in a small amount of injected liquid, known as a liquid plug. Conducting this research in microgravity makes it possible to isolate the factors involved, including capillary or wicking forces, mucus characteristics, and gravity. Understanding the role of these factors could inform the development and optimization of targeted respiratory treatments. Water Filtration Technology Aquamembrane-3, an investigation from ESA (European Space Agency), continues evaluation of replacing the multi-filtration beds used for water recovery on the space station with a type of membrane known as an Aquaporin Inside Membrane. These membranes incorporate proteins found in biological cells, known as aquaporins, to filter water faster while using less energy. Results could advance development of a complete and full-scale membrane-based water recovery system, improving water reclamation and reducing the amount of material that needs to be launched to the space station. This water filtration technology also could have applications in extreme environments on Earth, such as emergency settings, and decentralized water systems in remote locations. Additionally, the cargo spacecraft will deliver hardware to the orbital outpost including: replacement parts for the spacecraft atmosphere monitor, which checks the quality of the cabin atmosphere space tissue equivalent dosimeter, which collects data on radiation exposure and characterizes the space radiation environment Plant Habitat-06, which will evaluate the effects of spaceflight on plant defense responses using multiple genotypes of tomato combustion integrated rack and a fluid oxidizer management assembly calibration unit, which are used to maintain proper calibration and operation of the combustion experiment workstation’s gas system These are just a few of the hundreds of investigations currently being conducted aboard the orbiting laboratory in the areas of biology and biotechnology, physical sciences, and Earth and space science. Advances in these areas will help keep astronauts healthy during long-duration space travel and demonstrate technologies for future human and robotic exploration beyond low Earth orbit to the Moon and Mars through NASA’s Artemis program.

Two-time Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein announced Thursday she plans to seek the party’s nomination for the White House in 2024. “The political system is broken. The two Wall Street parties are bought and paid for,” Stein said in a video posted on social media announcing her candidacy. “The Democrats have betrayed their promises for working people, youth and the climate again and again, while Republicans don’t even make such promises in the first place,” she said. https://edition.cnn.com/2023/11/09/politics/jill-stein-green-party-2024-election/index.html

When Anna DeLaittre talks about animals, she simply lights up. She is a walking encyclopedia of animal facts and know-how, revealing in a single conversation some of the dog breeds that have webbed feet – otterhounds and retrievers – and the best diet for a hen to ensure her eggs have a strong shell. Anna’s home in Minnesota Lake, meanwhile, houses a veritable zoo of animals. Apart from roughly 40 hens, Anna and her father, Mark, care for two roosters, a goat named Coconut – who is expecting – a duck named Nibs, and Pepper the Siamese cat. Then, there are the DeLaittres’ three heelers: Lady, Charcoal and Tippy. Anna recently demonstrated the strong connection she has with her dogs at the 4-H State Dog Show, which was held at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds on Sept. 23 and Sept. 24. Her senior year performance at State was a success. Anna brought home red ribbons in Intermediate Agility, Agility Jumpers 1B and Beginner Obedience. She also collected a blue ribbon in Rally. Despite all the ribbons, Anna says, “I didn’t care what I placed – I just had fun with my dogs.” Mark agrees, adding, “If you’re not having fun, you shouldn’t be (at State). It’s all about the kids, and the connection.” This was actually Anna’s third trip to the 4-H State Dog Show. She qualified with Lady for the first time in 2019, and then, after taking time off during the pandemic, she returned to the competition last year and this fall. Anna’s route to State began with eight days of training with a professional trainer, followed by participation in the Faribault County Fair 4-H Dog Show. Participants who are named Grand or Reserve Champions at the county level, like Anna, then earn a slot in the 4-H State Dog Show. Showing a dog through 4-H involves several different components, each of which is designed to demonstrate different skills possessed by both dog and handler. Obedience, Anna explains, focuses on the dog’s ability to respond to commands. “You can’t touch (the dog),” she adds. “It’s more judged on what the dog knows.” Rally, meanwhile, is an event where signs are posted along a course. The handler and dog stop at each sign and perform the task it asks of them. Agility is a dynamic obstacle course including jumps, tunnels, weave poles and a teeter totter. Finally, Agility Jumpers involves a course made up exclusively of jumps and tunnels. “You turn a lot, so you have to have a good connection with your dog, and good body language,” Anna explains. She is set in that department. Anna’s dogs are quite literally family, as Charcoal and Tippy are both Lady’s descendents. Anna has been deeply involved in all three dogs’ lives – from birth, in the case of Charcoal and Tippy. Lady, the eldest of the three dogs, joined the DeLaittre family in 2017 when Mark bought her as a birthday gift for Anna. Later, Lady became a mother, and Anna helped birth and raise her puppies. “If you get dogs when they are puppies, you protect them,” Anna observes. “Then, they grow up, and they protect you.” Anna kept one of the puppies – Charcoal – and she is able to list the homes the other puppies found when they were old enough to leave Lady’s side. One puppy lives just down the street from Anna and Mark, for example, while another has found a happy home on a dairy farm. “We’re always in touch with our dogs,” she explains. Another litter produced Tippy, Anna’s third dog. Tippy is still quite young, but she made her debut at State this year in the Obedience category. “We expected to bomb,” Anna admits, “but she just blew us away.” Anna worked with Charcoal in the remaining three categories – Agility, Agility Jumpers and Rally – as Lady is retired from the 4-H Dog Show circuit. At home, Anna and her trio of dogs are inseparable. “They know exactly what time I’ll get home every day,” Anna says, adding that all three dogs, along with the chickens, duck, goat and cat, give her a warm welcome whenever she pulls into the driveway. However, following her graduation from Maple River High School this spring, Anna will be leaving her home in Minnesota Lake to pursue her dream of becoming a veterinary technician at Ridgewater College in Willmar. “It’s the oldest vet tech school in Minnesota,” she says. It seems a fitting career for an animal lover. When asked what she likes most about animals, Anna replies, “They’re not humans. They don’t judge you.” She adds, “That’s why I want to be a vet tech. I’ve always had a connection with animals.” https://www.faribaultcountyregister.com/news/local-news/2023/11/12/minnesota-lake-teen-shows-dogs-at-4-h-state/

An out-of-control car has caused a major scare at the Port Adelaide Christmas Pageant. Participants had to be treated for shock after the sedan ploughed through a barrier, missing them by metres. Paramedics were called to Baynes Place at Port Adelaide where a car breached a barrier at 11am just as the Christmas pageant was about to begin.9News has been told the driver of the car suffered a medical episode in a nearby car park. Her vehicle suddenly travelled under under a railway bridge, through a barrier, through the crowd and eventually into a fence. Witnesses said marchers from the Royal Society for the Blind were metres from the car as it reached speeds of up to 60km/h. https://www.9news.com.au/national/port-adelaide-christmas-pageant-car-accident/9ec24c90-4a0b-4b7d-b57f-c927599305d1

ow to live longer? It’s a question that’s occupied us throughout the ages – from the ancient Pharaohs to today’s tech bros – but never before have we had so many answers. A growing body of research has identified a handful of lifestyle choices associated with longevity – from healthy diets to regular social contact – plus a host of habits that are likely to cut your life short. Adding to the evidence is a new US study, which looked at the lifestyles of 700,000 veterans. After adjusting for factors like age, socioeconomic status and race, it found that men who practiced eight healthy habits at the age of 40 would on average live 24 years longer than men with none of the habits. For women, it was 21 years. Those eight habits are: being physically active, having a good diet, sleeping well, having positive social relationships, managing stress, not smoking, drinking in moderation and being free from opioid addiction.We were really surprised by just how much could be gained with the adoption of one, two, three, or all eight lifestyle factors,” said lead researcher Xuan-Mai T Nguyen, a health science specialist at the US Department of Veterans Affairs. The findings coincided with some altogether less cheery research, which forecast that on current trajectory one in five adults in England would be living with a major disease by 2040. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Prof Rose Anne Kenny, a geriatrician at Trinity College Dublin who was not involved in the US study, told Positive News: “Eighty per cent of the ageing process is within our control, and I find that incredibly heartening. The earlier you start, the better – but it’s never too late.” Eight lifestyle habits to help you live longer https://www.positive.news/lifestyle/how-to-live-longer-eight-habits-that-could-add-years-to-your-life/

SHENGJIN, Albania (AP) — When the leaders of Albania and Italy announced a contentious agreement earlier this week to jointly process some asylum applications of migrants arriving by sea, some in the Western Balkans country saw it as reciprocation. Italy had welcomed thousands of Albanians fleeing poverty after the fall of communism more than three decades ago, and Albania’s current government wanted to pay back the Italians’ hospitality. On Monday, Albania said it agreed to shelter thousands of migrants while Rome fast-tracks their requests seeking asylum in Italy, up to 36,000 a year. A memorandum between the countries says Italy would agree to remove migrants whose applications are rejected. The European Commission has requested more details.The deal, which must be approved by Albania’s parliament, already has been criticized by rights organizations and other groups, and it could backfire against Albania as it aspires to EU membership. Italy’s left-wing opposition parties are protesting the deal. https://apnews.com/article/albania-italy-refugees-centers-6d3076a37945d68be90316841c492e7c

As businesses continue to suffer from a digital skills gap, it seems that software development is the most badly affected area. Thanks to the rapid development of new technologies, such as AI, the Internet of Things (IoT), and Big Data, it is believed that businesses need to adapt by plugging the gap - but this can be challenging. Now, a new study has identified some of the key elements that are contributing to the shortage in skills and what can be done to solve the problem.The main challenges for firms are "finding qualified candidates and keeping up with ongoing technological advancements," says Jim Cassidy, CEO of Code Institute, adding, "the evolving nature of technology often exceeds traditional education and training programs, creating a disconnect between the skills employers demand and the qualifications candidates hold."Code Institute says by not having the rights skills, firms start to fall behind, and also find it hard to even know what talent they should acquire, let alone the struggle to actually hire them. "This, in turn, places heavier workloads on existing employees, leading to heightened work-related stress levels, ultimately preventing the smooth execution of digital transformation initiatives," noted the CEO. With the expansion of AI tools in the workplace - the market for which is expected to grow by 40% each year until 2028 in Europe alone - talent is needed to "design, implement and maintain these technologies," says Cassidy. One solution is for firms to introduce flexible upskilling with training programs for current employees. These should be tailored to their individual requirements, and will allow for firms to "foster resilience and agility amongst their employees by investing in the professional development of their workforce." Upskilling in this way will also benefit employees themselves, as they will "remain competitive in an ever-changing job market, enhancing their overall job security," the study says. In turn, this helps the long term success of companies, as it "cultivates an adaptable workforce capable of navigating various industry challenges and innovations," claims Cassidy. In addition, collaboration with vocational partners is also a must, in order to find the right outside talent and train their existing workers effectively. Lifelong learning programs, boot camps, and part-time online courses should also be offered to maintain ongoing development. Failing to bridge the gap can be dangerous not just for companies themselves, but for the wider economy as well. Cassidy concludes that "flexible upskilling, careful recruitment, and continuous career development," are the ways to bridge the gap. https://www.techradar.com/pro/the-skills-gap-is-bad-news-for-software-development-heres-what-can-be-done
