Suspect arrested in connection to shooting of ex-NFL player, celebrity chef
Nearly eight months later, police in Maryland arrested a suspect in connection to the "senseless" shooting of a former NFL player turned celebrity chef and a woman. The shooting took place in the city of Hyattsville, part of the Washington, D.C. metro area. Devin Demetrius Spivey, one of five suspects wanted for targeting the pair, was booked into jail for the Nov. 5 double shooting, the Hyattsville Police Department announced on June 30. Police said the suspects attempted to rob the pair as they returned to dinner in Prince George's County. The victims survived and were treated at a hospital, police said. While police did not identify the shooting victims, Prince George's County Council member Wanika Fisher issued a statement confirming that the man who was shot is Tobias Dorzon. U.S. Marshals took Spivey, 21, into custody at a home on the 9100 block of Cherry Lane in Laurel, Maryland on June 27, police wrote in a post on Facebook. "We hope this provides some relief to the victims and everyone involved,' police Chief Jarod Towers released in a statement after the arrest.

Dog trainer exposes dangerous mistake many pet owners make
A British dog trainer has issued a grim warning to pet owners who practice a common, yet potentially fatal act. Adam Spivey, founder of Southend Dog Training, revealed 'one of the most dangerous things you can do with a dog' is to feed them a meal just before exercising. Mr Spivey alerted pet owners in a video posted online, explaining how vigorously exercising a dog immediately after meal time 'can cause a life-threatening condition known as bloat, which can be fatal.' If you'd like to view this content, please adjust your . To find out more about how we use cookies, please see our Cookie Guide. According to Perth Vet Emergency's website, bloat, also known as stomach torsion or twisted stomach, happens when gas, liquid or food fills the stomach causing it to twist or swell. 'This twisting disrupts the blood flow to internal organs, including the stomach and spleen, by pressing the distended stomach onto large blood vessels,' the clinic explains. Bloat can happen when a dog eats or drinks too quickly, consumers too much food or has genetic predispositions, the website states. Mr Spivey urged dog owners to feed their furry companions after going out for a walk to avoid the serious condition. 'You want to give them at least 45 minutes to an hour to let that food go down,' he said. Adam Spivey's Instagram video.

'That's a different story, you're not giving your dog a whole meal in one go and then vigorously exercising them,' he said.

New council leader to consider more 20mph zones
The first female leader of Gloucestershire County Council says she will look at rolling out 20mph zones in towns and villages. Lisa Spivey is also the first Liberal Democrat to be voted in as the council's leader following the local elections earlier this month. At her first full council meeting on Wednesday, Ms Spivey made three pledges, which included the quick clear up of signs following road works and bringing children in care back into Gloucestershire. The third pledge made by Ms Spivey, also a councillor for South Cerney, was to reduce speed limits in some areas to 20mph, to improve "road safety" and make residents feel more "comfortable". More news stories for Gloucestershire Listen to the latest news for Gloucestershire Ms Spivey claimed some residents would respond "very positively" to 20mph speed limits, but said she would not introduce a "blanket" speed reduction, similar to Wales and Oxfordshire. "This isn't just about road safety, it's also about creating environments where people feel more comfortable and they want to walk and cycle," she said. She claimed "every single parish council" in her South Cerney division would support the speed limit reduction. "I'm sure that within some communities there will be [pushback] but it's about how we deal with that and balance it all out," she said. "But I think the data we've seen from the likes of Wales is that, after a year, not one town or parish asked for that 20mph limit to be reversed." In addition to her pledges, Ms Spivey said she wanted to improve communication between the public and council during her time in the top job, which is something she is "really excited" to have been voted in for. "It's a huge honour, a great privilege and a fantastic opportunity to shape the future of Gloucestershire," she said. Follow BBC Gloucestershire on Facebook, X and Instagram.

Enesfere Technologies Develops New Tool for Automated Commissioning & Fault Detection
LAFAYETTE, Calif., May 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Enesfere Technologies, Inc., a provider of building data analytics, today announced the launch of a new automated commissioning and fault detection tool and is inviting building owners and operators to participate in pilot deployments. The software performs continuous monitoring and rigorous checks of HVAC controls and hardware to find operational issues and dramatically save time for operators and commissioning agents. Unlike other options on the market, the Enesfere platform configures its algorithms to the specific control sequences and physical arrangement of each HVAC system. It then provides fault detection and diagnostics (FDD) for all operating conditions and all control modes. The tool supports ASHRAE Guideline 36 control sequences, warranty-period tuning for new construction, and streamlined maintenance at existing buildings. "Our service was borne out of a commissioning need to remotely diagnose controls issues for a school district that had 106 malfunctioning boiler plants," said Edward Spivey, PE, Enesfere's Vice President of Engineering and co-founder. "We then extended that foundation to cover all HVAC system types and screen for hardware malfunctions, sensor issues, programming errors, and operator overrides," he said. The tool is informed by Mr. Spivey's four-decade-plus mechanical engineering career, including his time as chief engineer and partner of Cogent Energy, a commissioning firm that was acquired by EnerNOC in 2009, and later as an HVAC data scientist at EnerNOC. "Operations and maintenance is typically the single most powerful lever for improving occupant comfort, lowering utility costs, and extending equipment life," said Ryan Swanson, PE, Enesfere's president and co-founder. "The facilities teams that we talk to are often understaffed and undertrained. They're also flooded with nuisance alarms. Our service helps them save time, focus on what truly matters, and understand why it matters," he said. About Enesfere Technologies, Inc. Enesfere Technologies provides cloud-based software and advisory engineering services to make buildings more productive, maintainable, and efficient.
