LOS ANGELES Valentina Shevchenko was not pleased in May when Amanda Nunes got physical with her during a staredown.

At the UFC Summer Kickoff press conference in May, Nunes, the UFC womens bantamweight champion, put her fist on Shevchenkos cheek and pushed her with it. Nunes said Shevchenko, out of sight of the camera, touched her first. Shevchenko denies that.

The whole incident, Shevchenko said, shows her something about Nunes emotions going into their big main event clash at UFC 213 on July 8.

I think she was out of control and she could not control all this nervousness, Shevchenko said Thursday at a media day in Downtown LA. Its a big event, media, all this stuff. You have to be very strong to control it. A person who cannot control it, shes acting like she acts.

The two women have met in the Octagon before. Nunes defeated Shevchenko at UFC 196 in March 2016. It was a relatively close decision victory, with Nunes winning the first and second round and Shevchenko taking the third.

With that victory, Nunes earned a title shot against then-champion Miesha Tate, who Nunes beat by rear-naked choke submission at UFC 200 last July. Nunes went on to defend the title against Ronda Rousey via knockout in just 48 seconds at UFC 207 back in December.

Shevchenko (14-2) is confident this time around she will get the better of Nunes and walk away with the title. This fight will be a five-round affair, unlike the three-round bout last time. The Kyrgyzstan native believes that will be an advantage for her.

Its very sad that I could not finish that time because of time, Shevchenko said. Maybe one minute more, it would be different. But Im pretty sure this time I will finish her as soon as I can.

Shevchenko, 29, defeated Holly Holm by unanimous decision last July at UFC on FOX 20 and submitted Julianna Pea at UFC on FOX 23 in January. The latter, she said, helped her prepare for Nunes pre-fight antics. Pea also did some trash talk.

If I dont say nothing bad about my opponent, it doesn't mean that my opponents never say it, Shevchenko said. Because I had that experience when Julianna Pea was talking some kinds of the same things.

It doesnt matter. It doesnt matter for me nothing. Because really the one thing that matters is fight. And when the door is closed, no one will help her.

Shevchenko, something of a nomad who calls Peru home and trains a great deal in Thailand, stormed onto the scene with a win over division stalwart Sarah Kaufman on short notice in Dec. 2015. She had the one hiccup against Nunes, but has looked like an elite bantamweight in her 18 months in the UFC.

That is not a surprise to her. Shevchenko is a decorated former Muay Thai and kickboxing world champion. She also has a black belt in Taekwondo. This is nothing new to her, she said.

Im in martial arts more than 20 years, Shevchenko said. Its not like I started yesterday, like, Wow Im here, whats happened? No, its not like this. I was prepared all my life to be where I am now.

Nunes (14-4), meanwhile, shrugged off the suggestion that she was nervous or scared in Dallas when the physical altercation with Shevchenko occurred. After all, she has become accustomed to the spotlight over the last year.

How am I gonna be nervous? Nunes said. Ive been here so many times in the big show, bigger than this. Like [UFC] 200 was huge. My fight against Ronda was amazing. Its not nervous no time for that. Im ready for her. And nothing is gonna change the result. I will walk out of the cage with the belt.

Shevchenko, of course, disagrees. She believes Nunes emotional behavior will give her an advantage in the fight.

I know how to control and I know how to react in the right moments in the right place, Shevchenko said. Its like a key for the victory. Im never starting first, but I will not be quiet when somebody offends me. Last time, I said with that push I will respond with 10 times more punches.

WOBURN, Mass., June 30, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ARC Informatique, the publisher of PcVue Solutions for Building Management Systems (BMS), and its worldwide affiliates in the ARC Group, are involved in a collaborative project known as Facility Using smart Secured Energy & Information Technology (Fuse-IT). Fuse-IT is addressing the need of sustainable, reliable, user-friendly, efficient and secure BMS in the context of critical intelligent facilities. The primary focus of this project is to provide a Smart Building and Security Management System that addresses the often incompatible objectives of the Facilities Manager and the Security Manager for critical sites. Such a system will improve the energy-efficiency of the building while strengthening its security.

WHAT: The FUSE-IT project will be presented as part of the Trusted monitoring and intelligent consumption data management for smart buildings panel at the IEEE Power and Energy General meeting. http://www.pes-gm.org/2017

The IEEE PES GM attracts professionals from every segment of the electric power industry. It features a comprehensive technical program with paper presentations, poster and panel sessions, a number of technical tours, a student program and companion activities. This years theme is energizing a more secure, resilient, and adaptable grid.

Ed Nugent, COO of PcVue Inc., will participate on the panel. He will present the research and development performed by ARC Group in support of the FUSE-IT project. The complete abstract is shown below.

Intelligent buildings have to tackle the challenges of smarter energy management, enhanced automation and connectivity. Facing environmental policies and cost-reduction objectives, building managers are asking for adequate solutions to predict, monitor, control, command, and optimize energy consumption, in the context of all the energy transactions and service provision opportunities. The trend toward smart building is enabled by the growing integration of Information Technology and Operational Technology. An unwanted consequence of this is the growing exposure to cyber-attacks. Legacy automation systems have been traditionally thought secured by isolation and physical protection. Now, they are exposed to fast-expanding cyber-threats, targeting their availability, integrity and confidentiality. A joint initiative, gathering engineers and researchers from energy, automation, information and communication technology, and security backgrounds, is working to deliver the innovative intelligent building system architecture and a set of advanced technological capabilities to solve the dilemma of efficiency and security in intelligent buildings.

MEDIA ALERT: PcVue, Inc. presents Trusted & Unified Monitoring ... - GlobeNewswire (press release)

Twitter is considering giving users the ability to flag tweets as fake news, according to a report on Thursday.

Sources told the Washington Post that Twitter is prototyping a feature that lets users flag tweets with "misleading, false or harmful information" and "it could look like a tiny tab appearing in a drop-down menu alongside tweets."

Social media platforms have faced pressure to better control or flag misleading or incorrect stories that can spread quickly over online platforms without methods to verify their integrity. Twitter has also faced an influx of "bots," which are automated users that can rapidly share false information.

Other social media groups like Facebook have found it difficult to find a balance between protecting free speech and removing hateful and harmful content.

Twitter is "moving slowly" on the function, the report says, because "there are concerns that people could use the new button to game the system, the way other aspects of Twitter have been manipulated."

The company didn't deny that it is working on a fake news button, according to the report. "There are no current plans to launch any type of product along these lines," Twitter spokeswoman Emily Horne told the Post.
