Citizens Academy U.S., a nonprofit dedicated to helping Americans understand the U.S. Constitution’s Preamble, has officially released The Guide to Complete Understanding of the Preamble to the United States Constitution in celebration of Constitution Day, September 17. The organization is hosting a free online event, “The Day ‘We the People’ Appeared,” on September 13, 2026, exploring the Preamble and its six purposes.

The Preamble Guide Simplifies Understanding of the Six Purposes of the U.S. Constitution

In celebration of Constitution Day, September 17th, the Citizens Academy U.S., a nonprofit organization with the goal to help hundreds of millions of Americans understand the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution, just made their official public release of The Guide to Complete Understanding of the Preamble to the United States Constitution.

Citizens Academy US is making the official public release of their Preamble Guide, a free download on their website with hardcover and softcover editions available

As noted on their website, the Preamble lays out all six purposes of the U.S. Constitution, and they are working to restore clarity and shared understanding of the Preamble and thus these six purposes. They do not explain or interpret what it means, they provide an enjoyable and easy way to completely understand it, so people can make up their own mind as to what it means.

Constitution Day is celebrated annually across the U.S. every September 17th as it is the day when 39 delegates signed the United States Constitution at Independence Hall in Philadelphia in 1787. In addition to the official release of their Guide, Citizens Academy US is hosting a free online event on Sunday, September 13, 2026, at 11am PT/2pm ET, entitled, The Day “We the People” Appeared. The event is expected to run for 1.5 hours and is open to free public registration at this link.

Academy officials have observed that many Americans who have attempted to read the Constitution have difficulty in understanding it. They attribute this to the fact that languages change over time, and many words do not mean what they meant when the Constitution was drafted. “Definitions from the late 1700s vary drastically from today’s definitions,” said Academy spokesperson Steven Ferry, “and it is vitally important that the Constitution is read with reference to the original definitions in use at the time it was written.”

To help people overcome this challenge, Citizens Academy US provides definitions in their Guide based on those from Noah Webster’s 1828 American Dictionary of the English Language. This early dictionary reveals what the words meant to the Founders and the people at the time the Constitution was written.

As an example, the definition of “welfare” in the Guide, based on Webster’s 1828 dictionary is: “the enjoyment of peace and prosperity, and other benefits of society, such as protection of rights, public safety, justice, and liberty.” Today’s Oxford Learner’s Dictionary includes an additional definition which people often refer to: “practical or financial help that is provided, often by the government, for people or animals that need it.”

Academy officials have also observed that when the Preamble is read with the original definitions in mind, understanding the six purposes of the Constitution becomes simple and the results are profound. The principle that forms the basis of the Guide is a quote by best-selling author L. Ron Hubbard, who wrote, “Complete understanding depends upon freedom from misunderstood words.”

By visiting the Citizens Academy US website, you can view the Guide and download it for free or purchase the hardcover or softcover in their bookstore.

The goal of the Citizens Academy US is to have 100’s of millions of Americans understand the first sentence of the United States Constitution, which is called the Preamble. The Preamble contains the six purposes of the Constitution and understanding the Preamble enables Americans to grasp what the Constitution is meant to achieve.

CZUR, a technology company specializing in smart office solutions, has announced the launch of its dedicated StarryHub website, providing a central resource for businesses exploring its meeting-room collaboration technology.

The website introduces the StarryHub Core Series, a range of meeting hubs designed to simplify video conferencing, wireless content sharing, and hybrid collaboration. Visitors can explore product capabilities, compare available models, review technical specifications, and access official information to evaluate solutions for meeting spaces of different sizes.

Addressing Common Meeting-Room Challenges

As organizations continue to support in-person and remote collaboration, meeting-room technology often involves multiple devices, complicated connections, and varying audio and video requirements.

Traditional setups may require separate cameras, microphones, speakers, computers, and display equipment, creating additional installation and management considerations for IT teams.

The StarryHub Core Series addresses these challenges by combining essential conferencing components into a single meeting hub. Designed to connect with an existing HDMI-compatible television, monitor, or projector, the system allows businesses to upgrade their meeting rooms without necessarily replacing their current display equipment.

Introducing the StarryHub Core Series

The StarryHub Core Series integrates video conferencing cameras, microphones, speakers, wireless screen sharing, and meeting software into compact meeting-room devices.

Powered by the built-in StarryOS 6.0 operating system, the hubs support conferencing applications including Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet. Users can launch and manage supported meetings directly through the device or connect their computers when needed.

The series offers two primary operating modes:

Host Mode: Enables users to conduct meetings through the hub’s built-in operating system without requiring a dedicated computer. This approach can simplify routine conferencing and reduce dependence on separate room PCs.

Bring Your Own Meeting (BYOM) Mode: Allows participants to connect a compatible laptop and use the hub’s conferencing peripherals with their preferred meeting software. This provides flexibility for organizations using different collaboration platforms.

Both modes require an external HDMI-compatible display to present meeting content to participants.

The Core Series includes three models designed for different meeting environments:

StarryHub Core20 : For Small Meeting Rooms

Designed for huddle spaces and smaller teams, Core20 combines a 4K wide-angle camera, 360-degree audio pickup, wireless screen sharing, and built-in conferencing capabilities. It provides a compact option for businesses seeking to introduce hybrid meeting functionality into smaller spaces.

StarryHub Core30: For Medium-Sized Conference Rooms

Core30 adds a dual-camera system featuring wide-angle and telephoto views, alongside AI-assisted speaker tracking and extended audio pickup. Its wireless casting and dual-display capabilities support presentations and collaboration in standard conference rooms.

StarryHub Core50: For Larger Meeting Rooms and Boardrooms

Core50 is designed for larger meeting environments requiring more advanced collaboration controls. It features dual 4K cameras, extended audio coverage, and an integrated touchscreen for meeting management, whiteboarding, and annotation. The touchscreen functions as a control and collaboration interface, while external HDMI displays present meeting content.

Across the series, features such as AI-assisted framing, noise reduction, and wireless content sharing aim to improve meeting accessibility and reduce setup complexity.starryhub.czur.com

CZUR’s approach to meeting-room technology emphasizes simplicity, flexibility, and the ability to work with existing office infrastructure.

Kang Zhou, Founder and CEO of CZUR, has previously emphasized the company’s vision of using artificial intelligence and integrated hardware and software to simplify workplace technology.

This philosophy is reflected in the StarryHub Core Series, which aims to make advanced conferencing capabilities more accessible while minimizing unnecessary equipment and complex installation requirements.

By offering different models and operating modes, CZUR seeks to accommodate the evolving collaboration needs of businesses and organizations.

Hire Virtue Introduces Adult Literacy and Employment Readiness Initiative

The Woodlands, TXThe Light & Literacy Bridge by Leslea Scott would help Texas adults strengthen reading skills and prepare for meaningful work.

The Light & Literacy Bridge by Leslea Scott would help Texas adults strengthen reading skills and prepare for meaningful work.

Hire Virtue LLC is introducing the concept for The Light & Literacy Bridge by Leslea Scott, a proposed adult literacy and employment readiness initiative that the firm intends to sponsor. The initiative would support Texas adults seeking greater confidence in reading, writing, everyday communication, and the practical skills involved in finding and navigating employment.

Engineered by Leslea Scott, President & Chief Talent Officer of Hire Virtue LLC, the concept connects adult literacy instruction with useful workplace and job search activities. The proposed program would help participants understand job postings, complete applications, organize their work history, prepare for interviews, use basic digital tools, and interpret workplace information.

L. Scott Headshot 1 9.2.26 Hire Virtue Introduces Adult Literacy and Employment Readiness Initiative

The initial program design calls for a small, 12-week pilot combining instruction from a qualified adult literacy educator with guided practice and career preparation. Individual learning goals would recognize each participant’s existing strengths, experience, and priorities. Hire Virtue’s proposed contribution includes career guidance, recruiting expertise, and community and employer relationship development.

The Light & Literacy Bridge is grounded in the belief that adults deserve learning opportunities that preserve their dignity and recognize their potential. Its faith-rooted purpose would be expressed through compassionate service and respect, with participation open regardless of religious affiliation. The program’s guiding message is “Elevating confident readers, one human, and one word at a time.”

The initiative remains in the planning stage. Its operating structure, initial service location, funding commitments, instructional team, enrollment process, and launch date have not been finalized. The announcement introduces the idea and invites conversations with adult literacy educators, community organizations, potential host sites, and employers interested in contributing to its development.

Organizations and individuals interested in discussing the proposed initiative may contact our Press Manager at [email protected].

PepperBall® Puts Use-of-Force Results and Patrol Readiness at the Center of IACP 2026

Lake Forest, ILVisit PepperBall at IACP 2026 Booth 1775

Visit PepperBall at IACP 2026 Booth 1775

A PepperBall analysis of a major metropolitan police department in the western United States found that reported use-of-force incidents declined, including a reduction in deadly-force incidents, following adoption of the PepperBall non-lethal system. PepperBall will highlight these findings at IACP 2026 in Orlando, Florida, October 24–27, alongside the TAC-PATROL™ and VKS PHANTOM™ launchers introduced earlier this year at SHOT Show. Attendees can meet the PepperBall team at Booth #1775.

What the Data Means for Patrol

For chiefs evaluating ways to reduce uses of force, those numbers deserve attention. They show why giving patrol officers access to non-lethal tools belongs in the conversation about response options, training and accountability.

Patrol officers are often first to arrive at calls involving armed individuals, barricaded subjects or escalating behavior. Giving those officers a means of responding from a distance can create more time to assess conditions, communicate and make decisions about the level of force needed. PepperBall continues to work with agencies to bring these capabilities into everyday patrol, backed by training and practical equipment choices.

The complete use-of-force analysis will be available at the PepperBall booth.

Two Launchers Built Around Patrol Needs

PepperBall will also feature two launchers brought to market at SHOT Show 2026. The TAC-PATROL and VKS PHANTOM offer different configurations for agencies considering how non-lethal tools fit into their patrol response.

PepperBall TAC-PATROL™

Designed specifically for daily patrol, the TAC-PATROL combines a compact, lightweight design with features that make it easier to carry, access and operate from a patrol vehicle. Its push-button folding stock allows officers to maneuver in tighter spaces, while a 60-round hopper and lightweight 4500 PSI carbon fiber air tank support extended use. The semi-automatic .68-caliber launcher was developed with the realities of patrol work in mind, providing a readily accessible non-lethal option for officers responding to changing conditions.

PepperBall VKS PHANTOM™

The VKS PHANTOM offers a compact, magazine-fed alternative for situations where mobility and maneuverability are priorities. Featuring a six-inch barrel, compatibility with both standard PepperBall round projectiles and VXR™ projectiles, and a maximum range of 150 feet, the VKS PHANTOM gives officers and tactical teams another option for operations in confined spaces. Its lightweight construction and flexible air-source configurations support a variety of operational requirements.

Both launchers expand the choices available to agencies looking for equipment that fits the way patrol officers work.

Supporting the Officers Who Respond First

“The numbers matter because chiefs need to know whether the tools they put in officers’ hands are making a difference,” said Michael Lee, Vice President of State and Local Sales at PepperBall. “We see an opportunity to keep building on these results by making non-lethal options more accessible to patrol. When an officer can address a threat from a distance, there may be more time to communicate, reassess and avoid a more serious outcome. The TAC-PATROL and VKS PHANTOM reflect the practical side of that commitment. They give departments more ways to equip the officers who respond first.”

Attendees can visit PepperBall at Booth #1775 during the IACP Exposition, October 25–27, at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida.
