Deputy Commissioner Townsend testimony before the Board of Correction
April 23, 2019
Good Morning. My name is Sarena Townsend and I am the Deputy Commissioner of Investigation & Trials for the Department of Correction. I am pleased to speak with you today to provide information and updates to the Department's efforts to become PREA certified, the strides we have taken to address concerns previously raised by the Board and the City Council, and our collective efforts to increase sexual safety across the Department.
Update from Last Year
Since April 2018, the Department closed over 1300 PREA reportable cases, which includes the 1,216 cases previously identified as the PREA backlog. There are currently 400 open, PREA-reportable cases that comprise the secondary backlog, which again was an expected outcome of focusing on older cases and all of which we anticipate having closed by August 2019. As of last week, the Department did not have any PREA reportable adolescent cases older than 90 days.
When the Department last discussed its PREA operations, we reported that our case substantiation rate was similar to the national average. While we have reason to believe this will continue to be true of current cases, the closing out of lower priority cases from 2015 and 2016 has resulted in a lowered substantiation rate for this review period. The PREA backlog was created as a result of deprioritizing closing paperwork on cases that had been identified by investigators as unlikely to be substantiated. It should not be surprising, then, that focusing on these cases led to a lower substantiation rate. Finally, I would like to note that the current national substantiation rate was produced in 2017 using data from 2015. We anticipate the Bureau of Justice Statistics will announce an updated PREA case substantiation rate in 2020 using data from 2018. We believe that upcoming figure will ultimately be more of a relevant comparison for evaluating the Department's substantiation rate than one based on 2015 numbers.
Description of the PREA Department
As the Commissioner described in her remarks, the Department has greatly expanded its PREA Investigations Team. In the last year, the unit has nearly doubled in size, comprised of an Investigations Director, a Trials Director, a Deputy Director, 6 Supervising Investigator and 1 Agency Attorney, 30 Investigators, and 2 Data Analysts. Expanding the PREA unit has allowed the Department to have the resources to investigate, review, and close cases in a timely manner. Although every case is investigated within 72 hours, we know that the additional effort necessary to administratively close cases is a critical and meaningful aspect of delivering justice for victims of sexual violence and building institutional trust in the Department's commitment to sexual safety. Beginning in September 2019, we anticipate that all PREA cases will be fully closed within 90 days of an allegation, unless there is an open external investigation that bars the Department from doing so.
Addressing the Board's Audits
In advance of this hearing, the Board audited the Department's unannounced PREA rounds and the PREA investigation team's closing memos. PREA unannounced rounds are a critical component of institutional sexual safety and we are pleased that the Board's audit found that, in compliance with minimum standards, these rounds are happening and happening at unpredictable hours. While I will leave additional details and questions regarding the unannounced rounding practice to my colleague Assistant Commissioner for PREA Faye Yelardy, I do want to share that we have reviewed the Board's three recommendations from this report and I'm proud to say that all three are either already enacted or underway.
In the weeks leading up to this hearing, I was pleased to have the opportunity to speak with the Board's staff several times about the closing memo audit. I thank you for reviewing the 18 pages of notes we sent over on your initial draft; I was glad to see some of the Department's notes incorporated into the final draft. I appreciate the spirit of collaboration with which the Board approaches these reports and the Department shares your collective goal of accurate and transparent reporting.
Before we move to the questions phase of this hearing, I would like to take a minute to discuss several key findings from the Board's audit and offer additional explanation about the Department's practices:
The Department continues to work hard at improving the quality of its PREA investigations. The unit has thrived under a team of leaders and supervisors who have sexual assault investigative background – both on the criminal and administrative level. Moving forward, we will continue to refine our PREA investigative practices and look forward to the integration of PREA cases into the case management system which we anticipate will be ready for use next year. I am proud to be joined this morning by AC Faye Yelardy and we are prepared to discuss any questions you may have regarding the Department's continued compliance with PREA Investigations at this time.

Notes Display Latin text | Nero, Chapter 1: Nero's ancestry | Next chapter Return to index |
Of the Domitian family two branches have acquired distinction, the Calvini and the Ahenobarbi. The latter have as the founder of their race and the origin of their surname Lucius Domitius, to whom, as he was returning from the country, there once appeared twin youths of more than mortal majesty, so it is said, and bade him carry to the Senate and People the news of a victory which was as yet unknown. And as a token of their divinity it is said that they stroked his cheeks and turned his black beard to a ruddy hue, like that of bronze. This sign was perpetuated in his descendants, a great part of whom had red beards. After they had attained seven consulships [122, 96, 94, 54, and 32 BCE, and 32 CE], a triumph, and two censorships, and were enrolled among the patricians, they all continued to use the same surname. They confined their forenames to Gnaeus and Lucius, and used even these with a noteworthy variation, now conferring each one on three members of the family in succession, and now giving them to individual members in turn. Thus the first, second, and third of the Ahenobarbi, we are told, were called Lucius, the next three in order Gnaeus, while all those that followed were called in turn first Lucius and then Gnaeus. It seems to me worth while to give an account of several members of this family, to show more clearly that though Nero degenerated from the good qualities of his ancestors, he yet reproduced the vices of each of them, as if transmitted to him by natural inheritance. |

Ruines du temps réel
(Ruins in Real Time)
July 1–September 25, 2016
CRAC LRMP Sète
26 quai Aspirant Herber
34200 Sète
Hours: Wednesday–Monday 12:30–7pm,
Saturday–Sunday 2–7pm
Yan Pei Ming, the Chinese painter, is widely considered to be one of the most important contemporary artists of his generation.
Yan Pei Ming will return to Sète to celebrate the 350th anniversary of the creation of the city's harbour, just as his previous exhibition in Rome heralded the 350th anniversary of the Villa Medici. In mid-2016, the Villa invited the artist to present a set of his works which had never been seen before.
At CRAC, the exhibition, Ruines du temps réel, will present a selection of his most recent works, including portraits, landscapes, historical paintings, as well as paintings produced specifically for the project.
Yan Pei Ming, who is more interested in humanity than in individuality, transcends the everyday life. Very much a man of his time, his paintings reflect his era and evoke our contemporary reality.
The opening of the exhibition Ruines du temps réel (Ruins in Real Time) at the CRAC coincides with the unveiling of the restoration of Yan Pei Ming's trio of wall paintings—Têtes (Heads)—at the Lycée Charles de Gaulle. The two projects bring together two key periods: the beginning of the artist's career and his latest works.
Conservation and restoration of the wall paintings—Lycée des métiers Charles de Gaulle
Têtes is composed of three wall paintings which Yan Pei Ming produced in the summer of 1988 in one of the rooms at the Caserne Vauban, which, unused at the time, was adapted for the exhibition at the Villa Saint Clair, the site of the artists'residencies in Sète. These three in situ paintings are representative of Yan Pei Ming's earliest works, and are the only wall paintings produced by the artist to date. The faces depicted are types of "anti-portraits" which the artist refers to as "anonymous."
The Languedoc-Roussillon Midi-Pyrénées Region fully appreciates the artistic worth of Yan Pei Ming's work and recognises his international importance. It is commited to ensuring the successful restoration and conservation of the wall paintings. The project has been entrusted to Thierry Martel and his company, and will make sure that the works are restored and preserved, ensuring their longevity and protecting them from deterioration, while endowing the space with a new cultural importance.
For many, but particularly generations of school children at the Lycée Charles de Gaulle, these works will provide an introduction to and an appreciation for contemporary creation.
(Preview: 5pm at Lycée Charles de Gaulle - Sète)

Keep your information and data secure.
REQUEST A QUOTECybercrimes can be extremely difficult to solve. This is mainly due to how hard it is to find the criminal. Cybercriminals are excellent at covering their tracks and, without the ability to find them, it's impossible to take them to court and press charges. In order to find the criminal and hold them responsible, you'll want to hire a cyber investigation company in Clearwater.
For the highest level of cyber investigation services in Clearwater, look no further than The Counter Surveillance and Cyber Team. Our expert team of cyber investigation specialists utilizes proprietary software, databases, and specialized techniques to provide real results for our clients. We are able to uncover the cybercriminal, so you can go after them for damages and press charges.
Some of the cyber investigation services we provide include:
If you would like to know more about hiring a cyber investigator in Clearwater or cyber investigations in general, contact The Counter Surveillance and Cyber Team today. We are happy to provide you with a consultation where we can discuss the cyber attack and how we can help you to bring the online criminal to justice.
Whether you've had your business email compromised, you are being blackmailed, you are a victim of wire fraud, or you are otherwise being targeted by a thief, hacker, or blackmailer, you are in a difficult situation. Cybercriminals hide behind a maze of sophisticated tech that makes it difficult for the average person to find them.
If you've recently had your banking or private information compromised, contact a cyber investigation company in Clearwater to resolve the issue.
Below are some of the most common cyberattacks (in which you may be a victim):
In order to remove compromised information, receive damages, and bring the cybercriminal to justice, hire a cyber investigation firm like The Counter Surveillance and Cyber Team. We have specialized tools, software, and knowledge that allows us to identify online criminals and build a case against them. We will support your attorney, testify in court, and provide assistance to law enforcement.
In order to address any cybercrime, it's necessary to find the person or people behind it. That is one of the key benefits offered by The Counter Surveillance and Cyber Team. We are able to identify the criminal that is behind the cyberattack. This allows you to press charges and receive economic and non-economic damages.
There aren't many companies that are able to identify cybercriminals and track them down. To stop the crime from reoccurring and prosecute the criminal, they must be identified. With the help of a top-quality cyber investigator in Clearwater like The Counter Surveillance and Cyber Team, you'll be able to find the person behind the hack. From there, you can have the criminal prosecuted. If you've had money stolen, we can also track where the money went.
If you have had information stolen and it is being held for ransom or your information has been leaked, we will help you to uncover the person behind the information theft. We can also help you to build a legal case against them by working closely with law enforcement and your attorney.
The Surveillance and Cyber Team is able to identify names, social media, phone numbers, and more. We can also unmask wire transfers, financial information, and even cryptocurrency exchanges.
We will build a strong case with the information we uncover to stop the problem from continuing and ensure no one else is a victim of the criminal's actions.
For a lot of crimes, the police can help. For others, though, they aren't as useful. While you should still file a police report, don't expect to get a lot of results from your local police department. They don't have the expertise or resources to hunt down a cybercriminal…
If you are thinking about reaching out to the federal government instead, this is also a waste of time. Unless there are millions of dollars on the line or there is a national security threat, they probably aren't going to do much to help. They just don't have the manpower or resources to take on smaller cases.
Instead, contact The Counter Surveillance and Cyber Team. We have government-level capabilities, and we put the needs of our clients first. We will provide you with the support you need when you need it most. We'll help you to find the criminal and put together a case. From there, we will work with law enforcement to press charges.
Are you vetting a politician and need some additional information? Is there a business you want to research? Maybe you have a job candidate you want to learn more about. Whatever the case may be, The Counter Surveillance and Cyber Team is here to help.
With the use of specialized tools and software, we are able to find out what you would like to know about the business or person you are looking into. We use legal and ethical means to gather data, and we never "hack." Instead, we use lawful tools and our years of expertise to uncover the info you are looking for.
The Counter Surveillance and Cyber Team is made up of highly-trained counter-surveillance experts and cyber investigators. We are committed to helping our clients and meeting their needs. We are able to provide services for businesses, individuals, and attorneys. We provide actionable intelligence that can be used to build a court case where there is a criminal involved, and we help with building the case.

Compared to traditional casinos, online casinos are much more accessible. Players can play anytime, anywhere. Online casinos are also much more user friendly and feature a wider variety of games. You can play poker, blackjack, and roulette in these casinos. Some online casinos even have lottery style games such as bingo.
The most popular type of casino game is poker. Poker is a classic card game that combines elements of strategy and luck. The rules are relatively simple. You have two cards dealt to you and then you try to make the best hand using your cards plus the community cards. The best hand is the hand you win.
The old saying goes that the best casino game is the one you are playing. In fact, most online casinos offer a number of different table games. For example, there are poker tables, slots, roulette, and even bingo. Some even offer a live dealer option. A live dealer is a real person who runs the game. The dealer is also responsible for dealing cards and placing bets. The live casino may also feature a gameshow or two.
The big question is whether online casinos are able to compete with the live experience. It is a good question. A live casino provides a more authentic experience. Live casinos are often set up in areas where casino gambling is a pillar of the economy. These casinos are also usually regulated. Some even offer extra funds in the form of a welcome bonus.
Although online casinos have many games to choose from, the best games usually involve a human dealer. The games are usually streamed live to your computer screen. This gives you the feel of a traditional casino while providing you with the convenience of playing from home. You can also play multiple tables at once. If you want to play for real money, you should look for VIP tables that have higher betting limits.
The best live casinos will also feature high-quality HD cameras and real-time video transmission. You can even interact with the dealer in a live chat window. Some online casinos even have a virtual reality experience. A virtual casino will allow you to watch other players, or move around to see how the game is played.
The best live casinos are regulated, and you should be sure to check out their customer service. You can also sign up for their email updates to learn about promotions and special events. The live casino is also a great way to socialize with other players. Unlike a physical casino, there is no dress code to contend with. You should also keep in mind that online players are a bit more aggressive. If you are looking to play for real money, be careful with your bankroll. You may want to play in the smaller bet increments for the best experience.
The best live casino is a combination of the best features of both the traditional and online casinos. The best casinos will have a variety of gaming options and a user-friendly interface.

Urijah Faber explains why TJ Dillashaw vs. Aljamain Sterling is the fight to make
Urijah Faber has explained why TJ Dillashaw vs Aljamain Sterling is the fight that needs to be made at bantamweight.
Following on from Aljamain Sterling's win over Petr Yan at UFC 273, fans have been wondering who the champion will defend the belt against next. The division is as stacked as it's ever been but in terms of top contenders, the two in the running right now are TJ Dillashaw and Jose Aldo.
Dillashaw, in particular, has been tipped for a shot at gold due to the fact he never actually lost the belt prior to his two-year USADA suspension.
Now, his former friend and coach Urijah Faber has said he believes Dillashaw should be the next man in line.
"I don't think that T.J. needs to show that he's not there yet, Cory Sandhagen could very easily be the champ, or a title contender himself. He's an amazing fighter, they had a close fight and some people thought Sandhagen won. Right now, for relevancy, I think T.J. vs. 'Aljo' is the fight to make, and then Aldo gets the winner of that. I think a T.J. vs. Aldo fight would be huge as well, but you don't have the hunk of metal on the line so it's dulled down a little bit, and then Aldo lost to Petr Yan, so I think the story is still a T.J. vs. 'Aljo' fight, or an Aldo-'Aljo' fight because Aldo is somebody that has taken that loss from Yan and it really lit a fire and he's looked better than he ever has, so I'd like to see that, too."
"I would say T.J. [gets the shot]," Faber said.

Learners could relate to the "hand wash" instructions outside washrooms in the school and posters displaying "How to wear a mask?" They also planned and created a poster on "How to make a lemonade?" and tried out activities like how to blow bubbles and bubble painting to understand that instructions must be in the right order to get the required result.

Kiradech Aphibarnrat stuck three balls into the water en route to a tournament-ending 12 on the par-5 18th in round two of the Dutch Open at Bernardus Golf Club.
Aphibarnrat, 32, was on the cut mark at 1-under par when he stood on the 18th tee but he would end up at 6-over par after making his worst career score on the DP World Tour.
The four-time DP World Tour winner drove into the water hazard and then took his drop before sending his third shot way right and out of bounds.
Aphibarnrat then sent his fifth shot into the water short of the green.
He strode up the fairway to the drop zone some 70 yards short of the green, and chunked his seventh shot once again into the ripples.
With balls running low in his bag, Aphibarnrat had another go from the drop zone and sent his ninth shot through the back of the green.
He then putted up from long range to around five feet and missed the putt.
Aphibarnrat then tapped in for a 12 and headed for the checkout desk.
Since winning the Thailand Masters at the end of 2021 on the Thailand Golf Tour, Aphibarnrat has struggled badly so far this year with five missed cuts in 11 starts.
As a result, he has slumped to 248th in the Official World Golf Rankings.
Aphibarnrat last won on the DP World Tour in 2018 at the ISPS Handa World Super 6 Perth tournament.

Healthcare Advice For New Parents
Mother's day is a special time of year for many, but can be a stressful time for fresh mom's who have a newborn in the household. Having a newborn comes with a lot of change and can cause a mother or father to worry or stress about several things. A good source to look to for guidance is your healthcare provider, Northwest Health Services.
Healthcare Topics For Newborns
Medication – According to the FDA, certain medications may not be appropriate for your baby, so you should ask your healthcare provider before giving your child any medication, says Snyder. If he or she has recommended a medicine for your infant, ask questions to be sure you use the right dose.
Be sure you're storing your medications safely and out of reach of children in your household. Babies usually start crawling at 5-6 months of age and can start reaching places in the household that would be unexpected.
Give the appropriate doses of medication to your baby. Read all labels, measure the amount of medicine to give and ask your healthcare provider or pharmacists about any questions you may have.
If You Take Medication, Seek Breastfeeding Advice
"If you are taking medications, it's important to ask your healthcare provider whether it's okay to breastfeed," says Leyla Sahin, M.D., an obstetrician with the FDA's Division of Pediatric and Maternal Health. You should ask about any prescription or over-the-counter products, including supplements. Stopping a medication can be dangerous for some women with chronic health problems, Sahin notes, but some medications can pass through the breast milk and may not be safe for your baby. So check with your healthcare provider if you are breastfeeding, or plan to breastfeed, and you are taking any medication.
Consider Yourself
As being a new mom or dad can be very rewarding, it can also be very taxing on your mind and body. Make sure you're catching enough sleep throughout the day when you can. Lay down for a little while during your baby's nap. Eat food with the nutrition you need for energy and take time for yourself to read a book, get outside for a walk, visit with a friend etc. The more you take care of yourself, the more your baby will be taken care of too.
Helpful App
According to Dr. Amber Brown-Keebler, MD at Northwest Health, new mom's can download the app "text4baby" to stay up-to-date on the latest information for babies. The app features several safety topics for babies, appointment reminders etc, to help you stay informed and educated while raising your children.
Happy Mother's Day
As always, have a wonderful weekend and a very happy mother's day to all the great mom's out there from your friends at Northwest Health Services.
Corey Myers is the Outreach & Enrollment Specialist for Northwest Health Services and works with healthcare professionals to provide important health information.

I miss the simple days of social media, don't you?
You know what I mean – the days where we'd snap a quick picture (using Instagram's awful filters), and just upload it, because we wanted to. The days before worrying about grid curation, hashtags and algorithm changes, or whether or not we could take a few days away from posting, without being punished.
Somehow, social media platforms like Instagram transformed from being the fun, connection-oriented spaces we knew and loved, to becoming the ultra-competitive and growth-oriented business requirements that they are now.
Well, I believe that it's possible to still achieve those same joyful, carefree feelings while using social media, no matter the algorithm, time of year, or trend! As with all things in life, though, it might take a little bit of practice and preparation. So, I've got 4 tips to help you avoid social media overwhelm once and for all!
Change your thinking + look for opportunities to support and uplift others
I used to mindlessly scroll social media while looking for inspiration – but all that did was make me feel inadequate, and want what other people had (thanks Instagram). While I considered my "scrolling time" as a way for me to inspire my own creativity, it actually hampered it. I was looking for inspiration from others, instead of looking within!
A few years ago, I totally changed my mindset to thinking of social media as a place to support and uplift others while creating and expanding my community. Now when I open the app, I think more about how I might be able to make someone else's day, by supporting or encouraging them, or creating a connection. A bonus from this mindset shift? Some great friendships have come out of it! I'm talking about real life friendships, where we actually hang out and see each other in person. Who'd have thought, right?!
Just think about how much it means to you when you read a kind comment or when someone actually takes the time to respond to your question with a thoughtful answer. With the right shift in your thinking, you can be that source of encouragement and joy for other people! And as a side benefit, you might find that more people do that for you as well!
(But remember: it defeats the purpose to expect anything in return. Try those changes with no expectations, and see how much better you feel afterward!)
Turn off notifications
Please tell me that you've already done this!
There is absolutely no reason for you to be notified whenever someone comments on one of your posts or sends you a message. Literally none! Even if it seems like a momentary distraction, that notification will take your focus away from whatever you're doing, and will train you to keep looking at your phone – and if we're honest, we all need a lesson in being a bit less dependent on our phones.
Don't let social media dictate your day. YOU get to decide when to log in, and when to check your notifications. When you're in the right mood to build your community and uplift others, YOU can choose to show up and be available. You get to make social media fit into your day, schedule and life, not the other way around!
Preschedule your posts & content
Writing captions can be exhausting. But doing so everyday? That's enough to make anyone want to skip social media forever!
I schedule my posts 1-2 weeks ahead of time using Planoly. I like to batch create content so that I only have to be in the caption writing or content creation frame of mind a few days out of every month. Now, I've found a rhythm that works for me (Mondays, during my "office day"), but you might need to play around with your own schedule to find a cadence that suits you and your creativity best.
I've found that if I schedule my content too far in advance, it can have the tendency to lose the relevancy or urgency it once had – in that window of time, I might have done multiple photoshoots that I want to share instead! Case in point: feel free to experiment. It's just social media!
Oh, and as a visual person, I've found that scheduling my content ahead of time allows me to see how all the photos fit and flow within my feed. Because I want potential clients to experience a certain feeling when they come to my page, scheduling my posts ahead in Planoly allows me to ensure that all of the colors, white space, and visual elements line up just right.
Take time away without telling anyone
Why do we feel like we have to tell people when we're taking time away from social media?
We guilt trip ourselves into saying things like:
"I know I've been gone for a while." (Read: I'm feeling guilty for not doing this thing that some random person says I should be doing every day.)
"I'm taking a break for a few weeks." (Read: I feel like you should always know what I'm doing because if I don't post here for a few days, I'll become irrelevant.)
All because we feel as if our audience will desert us if we choose to come up for breath. But if we're being honest with ourselves, no one notices!
Every single person that follows you has a life, family and list of priorities to get to. People go through so much more than they show in their feed – chances are, most people will likely not notice your absence at all. (Which is why we don't want to draw attention to our absence by announcing it on social media, am I right?!)
Only you can let yourself feel guilty for not posting, sharing or "showing up." Don't do it! You don't have to be accountable to social media – take a break when you need it, and come back when you're ready. And do yourself a favor and relieve yourself of the guilt trip – social media will always be waiting for you.
I'm here to serve as living proof of the fact that you can take a step back from social media and create better boundaries, all while reigniting your love for the reason why we all joined these apps in the first place: to cultivate connection, and build better friendships.
I hope you find your happy place, both on and off that social media feed!

San Marino
An enchanting landSan Marino is one of the oldest republics in the world, and the fourth smallest state in Europe. The territory of the Republic is extended for a surface of 61 sq.km, where 30.000 citizens live and offers a landscape of amazing beauty.
The Republic of San Marino is a Sovereign State which is governed by two Captains Regent. They are appointed by the Great and General Council and remain in charge for six months. The evocative investiture ceremony takes place every year on April 1 and October 1. The two Captains Regent represent the State and act as the major guarantors of the constitutional system.
Legislative power is vested in the Great and General Council. It is made up of 60 members and has the same functions of any other parliamentary assembly. The general elections take place every five years. Executive power (government) is exercised by the State Congress, whose members are called State Secretaries (ministers).
A bit of History
The veneration of the Saint who, according to the legend, founded the Republic is widespread and truly deep-rooted.The legend narrates how this stone-cutter left his native Arbe Island, in Dalmazia and came to Titano Mount to establish a small community of Christians persecuted because of their faith, at Emperor Diocleziano times.
San Marino benefits from an exceptional hospitality tradition. This free country has never refused asylum and help to those persecuted by misfortune or tyranny, whatever their conditions or ideas. During the last World War, San Marino hosted more than 100.000 refugees.
Today the Republic of San Marino which is independent, democratic and neutral, is the most ancient Republic of the world. Although it continues to be faithful to its ancient traditions, it is also sensitive to the call of the progress.
San Marino World Heritage
On July 7, 2008 UNESCO's Committee, whose members gathered in Quebec, Canada, decided to include the old towns of San Marino and Borgo Maggiore and the nearby Mount Titano in the prestigious List of World Heritage Sites. This recognition plays a fundamental role for the Republic of San Marino, the oldest republic in the world which still retains its original values of authenticity and identity. This fascinating City-State, a charming medieval jewel which rises on the top of Mount Titano, has been given the universal role to bear witness to the big efforts local inhabitants made in order to achieve democracy through parallel institutions.
San Marino stands out as a perfect balance of ancient traditions, like the fact the small State is governed by two Captains Regent, and outstanding artworks, such as the sumptuous palaces which still host ancient traditional ceremonies and rituals. San Marino's fascination is complemented by the outstanding natural beauty of Mount Titano, which gathers enchanting landscapes and scenic wonders.
The small portion of territory which was included in the list covers an area of approximately 55 hectares. It comprises San Marino's Old Town, the three towers (Guaita, Cesta and Montale), Mount Titano, Borgo Maggiore's Old Town and the rock (an enchanting natural area which develops on the slopes of Mount Titano). Not to be missed are the outstanding monuments and buildings which punctuate the City-State, such as the Basilica of the Saint, the monasteries of St. Francis and St. Clare, Palazzo Pubblico, Titano Theatre, the fortified city walls and the historical palaces which command the city's most characteristic quarters.

Review Of The Fragile
Originally published in People Magazine on October 1, 1999
Returning from a five-year absence, Nine Inch Nails auteur Trent Reznor discovers a sunny pop landscape beyond the once angry seas of the alternative rock he helped mold. As fans know, the anti-pop maestro is a Backstreet boy of a different stripe, and on this much anticipated new double CD, he dwells where the sun rarely shines. With more than 100 minutes of uneasy listening packed into these 23 tracks, Reznor maps an aural universe that is positively hellish -dense with static and all the manner of dissonant and chaotic electronic noise. But Reznor, who sings numbers like "Somewhat Damaged" and "The Wretched" in a voice pinched by anguish, finds freedom from torment in the complex, propulsive polyrhythms, ringing piano chords and wisps of melody that burst like divine light onto the dark sonic mix.

Harmony rich folk music, influenced by Irish traditional music, Appalachian singing, and the 1960's folk revival.
Brothers Brían and Diarmuid Mac Gloinn grew up playing music together around their hometown of Carlow, a small town in the southeast of Ireland. After moving to Dublin in 2012, they quickly became a staple of the live music and session scene in Ireland, playing their own original songs as well as folk songs from Ireland, Scotland, England and America.
In 2014 they came to the attention of Arbutus Yarns' music filmmaker Myles O'Reilly, whose videos gained international attention for the brothers for the first time.
After a chance meeting at Electric Picnic in September 2015, the brothers performed onstage with Glen Hansard, who invited them to open for him on his European tour the following October.
Their debut EP Rose & Briar was released in October 2015. Since then, they have been busy touring Ireland, the UK and Europe, opening for acts such as Villagers, Roy Harper and Lisa Hannigan (whose band they played in for her Irish tour, June 2016). They have played sold out headline shows in Ireland, France, Switzerland and the UK.
They have made numerous television and live radio appearances in Ireland, and were also part of Imagining Home, a live broadcast concert in the National Concert Hall of Ireland, 2016, curated by Glen Hansard, Philip King and Gary Sheehan.
In October 2017 they launched their debut, self-titled album to great acclaim. Ye Vagabonds comprises of harmony rich folk music, influenced by Irish traditional music, Appalachian singing, and the 1960's folk revival. It includes ten mellow tracks weaved with thoughtful lyrics, thickly layered with strings and droning harmonium.
Their second album The Hare's Lament was released on River Lea Records in March 2019 to critical acclaim.
Winner of Best Traditional Track BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards 2019
Winner of Best Group, Best Album and Best Traditional Track at RTE Awards 2019.

"They remind me of my first days at 'Les Cousins' in Soho in 1965... Ye Vagabonds are a modern expression of a tradition that is truly robust and important to these islands."
Roy Harper
"In an age where styles have a limited shelf life, and musicians so often live by definition of their sell-by date, Ye Vagabonds make music that honours timeless sincerity with acoustic fireside storytelling that will sound as current a hundred years from now as it has a hundred generations past. "

We have been doing WFH from March 16, 2020. There are two segments of our business, i.e., domestic and export. In domestic, all transactions which are possible from home like sending quotations and other correspondence are being done. We also have an extremely active WhatsApp group of our company which is now being used as a primary communication tool among all the team members. A lot of communication and meetings which used to happen one-to-one in the office are now being done over call or WhatsApp.
Any additional business that has to be generated by personal visit like a visit to customer or distribution center has been put on hold till further notice. This move has put a lot of things on hold since unfortunately; stone is a commodity which a customer really wants to see before booking an order. It cannot be sold after sending a picture. B

Security management allows you to establish a link between business priorities and technical implementation, such as architecture, standards, and policies. Total security managment teams monitor to maintain and improve the security posture. These teams also produce compliance reports for regulators.
Business goals and risks allow you to choose the direction for the development of security. This direction ensures that security is focused on what is important to the organization. In addition, risk owners are informed about risk management based on familiar terms and processes.
Compliance and reporting
Compliance with and reporting on external security requirements, and sometimes internal policies, is a must for any industry. Complying with mandatory requirements is like feeding a bear in a zoo. If you don't feed the bear every day, he will eat you.
Architecture and standards
Architecture, standards, and policies enable business requirements and risks to be translated into a technical environment. We recommend using a single view across your organization instead of separating cloud and on-premises environments. Attackers do not care about your internal processes, they follow the path of least resistance to the goal. For example, they use a horizontal offset between cloud and on-premises environments. Most modern enterprises use a hybrid environment:
On- premise: Includes multiple generations of software and hardware technologies, many of which are outdated. Some operating technologies manage physical systems that pose a potential threat to life and safety.
Clouds: includes several providers of the following solutions:
SaaS applications (software as a service).
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
Platform as a Service (PaaS)
Security State Management
You can't just hope nothing happens and report problems. The management system in the cloud era must contain an active component that constantly interacts with other teams. Security State Management is a new feature. It represents a step forward in the long-term process of convergence of safety functions. These features help you determine how secure your environment is, including vulnerability management and security compliance reporting.
In on-premises environments, the security management system depended on the environment data that could be found. This method of obtaining data required time for which the data lost relevance. Cloud technologies provide the ability to track the current state of security and resource coverage on demand. These tracking capabilities support the transformation of the management system into a more dynamic organization. This approach allows for closer communication with other security teams to monitor security standards, provide recommendations, and improve processes.
Ideally, the management system promotes continuous improvement. This improvement extends to your organization, allowing you to improve security.
Basic principles of success for the management system:
Continuous discovery of resources and resource types. Static inventory is not possible in a dynamic cloud environment. The organization should focus on continuous discovery of resources and resource types. New types of services appear regularly in the cloud. Workload owners dynamically start and stop application and service instances as needed, requiring a dynamic inventory management approach. Management teams must continuously discover resource types and instances to keep up with this pace.
Continuously improve the security status of resources. Governance teams should focus on improving standards and applying those standards to keep track of the cloud and attackers. IT organizations must respond quickly to new threats and adapt their systems. Attackers are constantly developing their methods, so you need to constantly improve the means of protection. It is impossible to provide complete security right away, in the initial configuration.
Policy based management. This control enforces consistent execution through a policy change that is automatically propagated to all resources. This process eliminates the need to waste time doing repetitive tasks manually. It is often implemented using Azure Policy or third party policy automation frameworks.
For flexibility, it is better to use an iterative approach. This approach processes small pieces of information from multiple sources to create a complete picture and continually make small adjustments.
Control and protection disciplines
Security disciplines include access control, resource protection, and innovation security. The Security Management Team provides standards and guidelines to ensure consistent implementation of security recommendations and management practices.
Ideally, protection teams apply these controls and provide feedback on what is working, such as problems applying controls. The teams' then work together to find the best solutions.
Control system and security operations
Security management and security operations work together to provide complete visibility. They ensure that lessons learned from real incidents are incorporated into architecture, standards, and policies.
Control and security operations provide additional types of visibility.

Tom Kristensen is one of motorsport's most successful drivers, with nine wins at Le Mans — six of them in a row.
And now you can read about his exploits in The Book, which takes the reader on an exciting journey through four decades full of emotions.
It stretches from his parents' petrol station in Denmark to champagne showers in front of 250,000 fans at the world's greatest motor race.
Born in 1967 in Hobro, Denmark, Kristensen began his career in 1984, winning several karting titles.
He is one of the most successful racing car drivers of the modern era, with record tallies of victories in the Le Mans 24 Hours (nine) and the Sebring 12 Hours (six) and FIA WEC World Champion.
In April 2007, he was involved in an accident while racing on the Hockenheimring race course in Germany, escaping death thanks to a new type of collar that may have prevented a broken neck.
In November, 2019, Kristensen announced that he was retiring from motorsport at the end of the current World Endurance Championship season.
Private and never-seen-before pictures, untold stories, new facts and personal insights as told by Kristensen himself make The Book unique.
Published in a very large, sumptuous format to best display the superb photographs, The Book will be treasured by the Danish hero's legions of fans and all motorsport enthusiasts captivated by the Le Mans 24 Hours.
The Book is written in collaboration with Lars Krone.
Key content
- Early years: growing up in Denmark; a close-knit, happy, supportive family, huge success in karting; from penniless talent to Formula 3 champion, in Germany in 1991.
- Four successful years in Japan: a second Formula 3 title, with the Tom's team in 1993; starring in Formula 3000; showing his versatility in touring cars; living a different life in Japan.

Relationship between explosive and effusive volcanism in the Montes Apenninus region of the Moon
Lunar Pyroclastic Deposits (LPDs) are sites of explosive volcanism and often occur in areas of effusive volcanism on the Moon. On Earth, it has been observed that most volcanism has both effusive and explosive phases, whereas on the Moon, these two types of volcanism have typically been considered separately. We hypothesize that the relationship between explosive and effusive volcanism on the MoonAuthorsLori M Pigue, Kristen A. Bennett, Briony H.N.

Glen Torridon is a topographic trough located on the slope of Aeolis Mons, Gale crater, Mars. It corresponds to what was previously referred to as the "clay-bearing unit", due to the relatively strong spectral signatures of clay minerals (mainly ferric smectites) detected from orbit.

It's hard to believe the calendar reads October already. Where did summer go? Or better yet, where did September go? Wasn't it just Labor Day? I swear, time flies when you're having fun, and for us, more so when we are super busy like we have been lately. But since the calendar says it's so, I'll embrace it. See, for me September is still too close to summer to really be considered fall. Yes, I start to feel the chill in the air in the early morning, and I begin the transition to all things autumn, but when October hits, I go into high gear towards fall! Maybe it's because the first weekend of the month we always enjoy one of our favorite fall activities, The Apple Festival. Maybe it's because for our family the house has been decorated for Halloween since before Monkey's birthday (he always asks me to have it done for his special day, and I'm happy to do so). Or maybe it's simply because by October 1st I've finally come out of my end of summer denial and begin to embrace the next season. Whatever the reason is, for me, today is the first day of autumn. So in celebration of that, I've got a great fall inspired snack that your kids will love. These would be perfect for an after school snack, or a packed lunch, or even crumbled on top of some yogurt for a delicious and nutritious breakfast. Apples are something that scream "use us" in this beautiful season, and I'm happy to have found yet another way to oblige! Happy Autumn!!!
Baked Apple Chips
2 Red Delicious Apples, sliced very thin, seeds removed
1/2 TBS sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
Preheat oven to 200. In a small bowl combine sugar and cinnamon. Mix well. On a lightly greased cooking sheet (or use parchment paper) place apple slices. Sprinkle with sugar mixture. Flip over and sprinkle other side. Bake for 1 hour. Carefully lift with a spatula. Continue baking for up to 3 hours until completely dried and crisp. Check every 45 minutes to ensure no burning.
*NOTE* Mine took almost 4 hours. Depending on how much moisture your apples have and how thick the slices are, will effect cooking time.
