Hajar Ali is the definition of a world traveler. A founder of luxury travel company Urbane Nomads, she has seen more places than most people can name, and isn't big on taking the easy route for herself. In March, she became the first woman to cross the Rub Al Khali, also known as the Empty Quarter, the largest sand desert in the world, stretching between Saudi Arabia, Oman, and United Arab Emirates and Yemen.
Not content with that desert adventure, Hajar is already planning an even more ambitious trip, to go by foot to Antarctica's Pole of Inaccessibility, the most remote point on the frozen continent. Discovery sat down with Hajar to find out what inspires her to go places so few have been before, and how exactly she pulls it off.
Discovery: What led you into your current career?
Hajar Ali: It's quite complicated. My last degree was in strategic studies, in international relations. Had I not gone into travel, I would probably be in that line of work. I imagine if I wasn't in this, I would have been a war correspondent, something like that. Something that incorporates a lot of travel. It's related somehow.
D: What sets Urbane Nomads apart?
HA: We specialize in luxury travel to remote places. We try to incorporate adventure into an otherwise touristic trip. Where we feel we excel is providing luxury accommodations in unusual places. Let's say you want to go hunting in Western Mongolia, the hotels there are miserable. We set up the gers [Mongolian dwellings similar to yurts], with portable showers. We get the best guides, the best cooks.
D: What drove you to cross the Rub Al Khali?
HA: I was researching the Empty Quarter as a destination. The more you research, the more you get involved. I noticed that there was no woman who had crossed it; I wanted to be the first.

D: What made that journey especially challenging?
HA:Where [Sir Wilfred] Thesiger's route [in the 1940s] was dictated by water wells, a contemporary crossing today is dictated by the presence of oil wells. Most of the water wells are no longer functioning as these well have not been maintained. There is much less life in the Empty Quarter now than there used to be. We brought our own water and did not need the water wells.
Today, if you cross the Empty Quarter, your journey is dictated by the location of oil wells. Once you see an oil well, you're not supposed to get close to it. You cannot get access to maps of the wells for security reasons. Someone did get a copy of the maps once we were in Oman, though we couldn't keep it or make a copy. We had to change quite a bit of our journey to fit the locations of the oil wells.
Then there are places that aren't safe to go to, because of political concerns.
D: How will the Antarctica expedition compare to the Empty Quarter crossing?
HA: The Rub Al Khali is a sand desert, and Antarctica is the world's largest desert. Other than that, they're completely different worlds. The logistical planning is different. Antarctica is the longer journey. It's mentally challenging, because the landscape is going to be monotonous; it'll just be the same thing, day in and day out.

D: How has the Empty Quarter crossing prepared you for the Antarctica trip?
HA: The landscape will be different, but I've been taught to expect the unexpected. There are so many things that could change while you're doing the expedition itself. There's a lot going on in the Empty Quarter in terms of political, cultural things. Antarctica is more logistical things. It's so long, and I'll be dependent on resupplies, so bad logistics will completely damage the entire trip.
D: What are your favorite places to visit?
HA: I love Western Mongolia, I love the Burmese Himalayas. In terms of cities, my favorite is Istanbul, followed by Buenos Aires and Beirut.
D: Where haven't you been that you'd like to see?
HA: Lots of places. I'd like to see more of Africa; I'd like to see Ethiopia, for example. I'm curious about the Congo, Southern Sudan as well. Africa is at the top of the list.

In computer networking, broadcasting refers to transmiting a packet that will be received (conceptionally) by every device on the network. In practice, the scope of the broadcast is limited to a broadcast domain. Contrast unicasting and multicasting.
Not all computer networks support broadcasting; for example, neither X.25 nor frame relay supply a broadcast capability, nor is there any form of Internet-wide broadcast. Broadcasting is largely confined to local area network (LAN) technologies, most notably Ethernet and Token Ring, where the performance impact of broadcasting is not as large as it would be in a wide area network.
Both Ethernet and IPv4 use an all-ones broadcast address to indicate a broadcast packet. Token Ring uses a special value in the IEEE 802.2 control field.
Due to its "shotgun" approach to data distribution, broadcasting is being increasingly supplanted by multicasting. For example, IPv6 supports neither directed broadcasts nor local broadcasts.

There are multiple components to note when you first unpack an iPad, from the device itself and a power adapter, to the user manual and a USB cable, but a keyboard isn't one of them. The iPad's functionality has grown since its initial inception in 2010, yet many users still find Apple's tablet somewhat incomplete despite all the critical acclaim and the perpetually-swirling rumors.
As Apple's signature tablet line outgrows its reputation for being simply a device to consume entertainment, there's a growing need for a physical QWERTY keyboard for the iPad. Thankfully, there are tons of great keyboards designed to connect to your iPad via Bluetooth for increased mobile productivity.
Related: Want to type on that tablet? Here are our favorite Bluetooth keyboards and cases
We admit, finding the perfect keyboard can be exhausting, given the fact that most third-party keyboards are poorly designed or overly expensive, but there are some quality options, if you know where to look. Here are our nominations for the iPad Keyboard Hall of Fame (if there is such a thing).
Best Keyboards for iPad Pro (12.9-inch)
Apple Smart Keyboard for 12.9-inch iPad Pro ($170)
What better keyboard for your shiny new iPad Pro than the keyboard specifically made by Apple for the iPad Pro? In classic Apple fashion, the Smart Keyboard features a slim and sleek design with keys that are well-spaced and easy to type on. You won't get much travel or feedback, though. It doubles as a stand for your device, and doesn't add too much extra bulk, which makes it perfect for when use on the go.
It's important to note that this keyboard does not connect via Bluetooth, however. Instead, it uses Apple's new proprietary Smart connector, located on the side of the iPad. This means that you'll never have to manually charge the keyboard — it draws power straight from the iPad. How convenient!
Buy it now from:
Logitech Create Keyboard Case ($140)
Why use Bluetooth if you have the Smart connector anyway? The Logitech Create also makes use of the Smart connector on the iPad Pro, meaning you won't have to charge it. It also offers a backlit keyboard, one that features buttons for making light adjustment and controlling media. Because of the size of the iPad Pro, Logitech was even able to squeeze in an extra line of keys for shortcuts. While this case was not designed by Apple, the look of the Logitech Create fits in line with Apple's design language. It's slim, simple, and beautiful.

Vermont Land Link is managed by the Vermont Farmland Access Task Force organizations and agencies:
Why this website? This site was created to help Vermont's farm seekers and farm property holders find each other. For many new and established farmers, simply finding available land is a huge challenge. On the other side of the equation, more and more private, public and organizational landowners want to make land available for farming. They want farmers to find them.
This site makes it easy for properties to be posted, and for farm seekers to search for them. The site's format is similar to "for sale by owner" sites or classified listings. Because it is free, simple, state-wide, automated and constantly current, it can serve as a friendly portal for Vermont property holders and farmland seekers.
Linking to agricultural support services. Seekers and property holders need information, skills and support to be successful, whether as tenants and landlords, buyers and sellers, managers and owners, or through other arrangements. Vermont Land Link is primarily a clearinghouse for farm properties, but it is also a gateway to educational resources and support services. The organizations that created this website believe that comprehensive property lists are necessary but not always sufficient to ensure successful transactions to get farmers on the land. For example, some organizations help screen properties and seekers, and pre-sort for potential matches. Others connect specific farmers and properties, educate and support seekers and owners, help craft agreements, and assist with transfer planning. Please visit our Resources page to access many other service providers and educational resources covering options and considerations in sustainable farmland tenure.
Raising money for farmland education. Underwriters' fees for Vermont Land Link are used to cover website operating costs and sponsor educational events for farm seekers and farm landowners.100% of underwriters' sponsorships are tax-deductible donations to non-profits who assist farmers and landowners with farmland access. Please contact email@example.com for more information.
Vermont Farmland Access Task Force. We are organizations and programs that focus on farmland access and stewardship in Vermont. Together, we work as a network to uncover farmland tenure and business opportunities that might or might not be exposed on the open real estate market. We work directly with farm seekers to improve their chances for success once on the land. We work directly with landowners and retiring farmers searching for next generation farmers to continue Vermont's farming legacy.
As a consortium, we refer farmers and landowners to Vermont Land Link. This endeavor is a work-in-progress. The site's success depends in large part on its widespread use.
You can help. Use the site. Encourage others to post properties and conduct searches. Let us know how to improve the site. Thank you.

The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.

Cruising with Kids-Top things you can't live without?
We're in the planning stages of cruising with the girls ages 6 and 4. This will be our first time with family. Originally it was going to be to Spain, now due to complications, I think we'll stick from the Great Lakes to the Intracoastal Waterways. Keeping open to ship the boat to the Med or travel to the West Indies when we get to Florida and beyond. Flexibility is #1 thing we can't live without.
From a family cruisers perspective, please reply with a list of things you brought with you that make time sail smoothly and frankly, that you can't live without. A list of things to leave behind will be great as well.
Thank you,
A sense of humor is very necessary with children either ashore or at sea.
Child size safety equipment.
Assorted toys & games that they really enjoy... Don't carry anything that they don't want to play with. And keep those to a minimum if you can get away with it...
Lots of reading materials for them.
The top of the line First Aid Kit. Along with the training necessary for it.
First Aid training for Sea-Going personnel is much more intense than the basic Red Cross First Aid training course. It is more on par with EMT's skills.
The appropriate clothing for the weather you know that you will encounter in your voyages. But keep it basic as much as possible.
Did I mention Child size safety equipment?? Be sure that their lifejackets & harnesses are comfortable for them to wear. and when they are in the cockpit or on deck, always hooked up to a jack stay line.
Netting along the lifelines. To make it harder for people to go over the side when at sea.
Look into home schooling. So they may keep up with their peers in education. Calvert(?) has good courses for children voyaging with their parents.
I'm sure that there are other items that I have missed but some one else may have a better input on this subject.
I will try and write some stuff up for you before too long. I am finishing up an article right now. I have a bunch of stuff and ideas. You might also chekc in some of the old threads. I think I did some pretty extensive write-ups on this in the past... but it could be many months. If we cannot find it, I will try and get some more stuff out to you.

The Mansion property on the estate of the Winterthur which serves as office space
Raven 1 was a valuable asset to Winterthur Garden and Museum. We were able to complete projects that had been set aside for years because they required larger numbers than available before we arrived. The team entered the project during the most pivotal time of the year and was able to help prepare for not only its most active season, but also for Point-to-Point, a steeple race that is the largest event of the year for Winterthur. This was critical for the health of the surrounding environment and also necessary in preparing for the special event.

Speed Dial
Love it but can't use it Rated 3 out of 5 stars
I've used this for over a year now, but it doesn't work in FF 18. The "open a new tab" function doesn't work (the "+" on the tab bar). I don't know if other extensions conflict with it, but I have all my usuals enabled & everything works fine in 18. When I enable Speed Dial, I can't open new tabs. I hope this gets fixed soon so I can resume using it.This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.9.6.12.1-signed).
Keeps disappearing Rated 4 out of 5 stars
I like it & when it shows up, I'm very happy! But it keeps disappearing from the location that I set it up on. I have to uninstall it, then reinstall. It shows up for awhile, but disappears again. Even when I go change options & change locations, it won't show up. So I'm having to use 1-Click Weather for now. I like Weather Bug better, but can't put up with its disappearing act.This review is for a previous version of the add-on (184.108.40.206).

Career Choice: Motorcycle Drag Racer
By Valerie Thompson
As part of an ongoing series where we profile nontraditional careers for women, SMW takes a look at how one woman entered the male-dominated field of motorcycle drag racing. Without a doubt, it's a fascinating, exciting profession. But what gives motorcycle drag racer Valerie Thompson hope is perhaps even more inspiring.
Here, in her own words, is Valerie Thompson's story.
I am a single-minded woman in a man's world who straps on a helmet and leathers and hits the quarter-mile racetrack at over 190 miles per hour in 7 seconds.
When I started racing in 2006, I was not taken seriously. People thought I was a pretty girl just showing up to race. In my second year, heads started turning as I placed third in the nation out of 52 racers.
I was more than just a racer—I was a one-woman show. I drove my own truck and 20 ft. trailer across the country, loading and unloading my equipment at the racetrack (with some help from my crew with the heavy stuff). I also did my own marketing, which I had to learn. In 2005, I knew nothing about marketing. Today, I know a lot and I'm still learning. My business savvy and marketing ability continue to grow, and they are partly responsible for my success.
In less than three years, I earned my way into motorcycle drag racing's most elite class. It is my work on and off the track, my determination, and the belief that I will never give up on my dream that drives me to the finish line.
Support from others has also helped get me to where I am. People who made a difference in my career were my first sponsors: Hacienda, Harley-Davidson, Monster Energy Drink, and GoDaddy.com.
How I Got on Track
I was a professional banker for 13 years, got laid off, and bought my first Harley-Davidson in 1999. My friends always said that when I was on my bike I had the pregnant glow. That statement has always been in the back of my mind, but little did I know then that riding motorcycles was my passion.

Before then, the white suit was seen as the de facto badge of office of the British colonial official. Armed with a white suit, a pith helmet, a fly whisk, the complete works of Kipling, a faithful manservant and little else, District Officers had enforced the rule of British law from Malaya to Madras and beyond.
The white suit survived the moral ambiguity of Graham Greene novels and the ousting of Batista from Havana (once, one of the great white suit capitals of the world).
Even during the Sixties, a white suit could still be used without a hint of irony as cinematic shorthand for a whole raft of colonial values. When, for the last time, Strangways leaves the bridge four at the Queen's Club in Kingston, Jamaica, at the beginning of Dr No, he wears the obligatory pale suit, pressed to perfection. His outfit positively reeks of ceiling fans, rum swizzles and rattan chairs. Even his last act, before the bullets from the silenced pistols rip into his body, is typical of a white suit wearer: with patrician condescension, he flips a coin to the assassins disguised as beggars who kill him.
Quite how we got from Strangways to Saturday Night Fever is still unsure. Perhaps it was the innate hubris of wearing a white suit that finished it off; perhaps it was its impracticality; or maybe it was simply the diminishing number of colonies where one could actually swagger about in a white suit without getting laughed at, or worse, ending up like poor old Strangways. As with the demise of the dinosaur, the changing status of the white suit remains something of mystery.
But its reputation collapsed when more "wrong" than "right" people started wearing it. A working-class Italian Stallion discovering his epiphanies in the suburban discotheques of Seventies' New York would have been unlikely to have founded his personal style on the look of British colonial officialdom.
No, the white suit of the Seventies owed more to gangster styling. And, these days, if we see a man on film in a white suit, the chances are that he is portraying the ruthless leader of a cocaine cartel. It is significant that John Travolta redeemed his career, and won his second Oscar, as a man in a black suit in Pulp Fiction.
The most famous recent appearance in real life of the white suit has been in politics. If Martin Bell - a lone, middle-aged, slightly corpulent, white-suited paladin, all at sea in an ocean of sleaze - is the best friend that the white suit has, then white suit wearers this summer will require one accessory above all others: a good sense of humour White single-breasted, crease- resistant suit, pounds 728 , by John Richmond, available from Selfridges, Oxford Street, London WI, and Flannels, 3 Brazil Street, Manchester; white rib, V-neck T-shirt, pounds 26, by 2(x)ist, available from Liberty, Regent Street, London W1, Carl Twigg, 61 Bridge Streeet, Manchester, and Fenwicks, Northumberland Street, Newcastle-Upon- Tyne.

National player of the year awards are not won in the preseason, let alone in an intrasquad scrimmage. But Kentucky forward Terrence Jones managed to provide a reminder to those who may have overlooked him in the preseason discussion by scoring 52 points and grabbing 16 rebounds in the Wildcats' Blue-White scrimmage on Wednesday.
Jones was 24-for-31 from the field and added six assists, two steals and a blocked shot the day after coach John Calipari indicated who he felt was the best player in the country.
"Terrence Jones right now, I'll tell you, if there's a better player in the country, I've got to see him," Calipari told reporters. "Maybe that guy's in our gym. I don't know. But if there is somebody better than Terrence, I've got to see it."
Jones, a 6-foot-9 sophomore, had declined to enter the NBA draft even after averaging 15.7 and 8.8 rebounds in a year when the Wildcats went to the Final Four. He hopes another year at Kentucky will put him into the top 10 in next year's draft, and tonight's performance was a strong opening statement.
The game doesn't count in the standings, and playing against friendly faces, defense isn't always the main focus in games like these. But the 52 points Jones scored is still 52 points. His intangibles were also on display, according to the Kentucky Kernel.
More importantly than the stats, though -- this is a scrimmage, after all -- was the mentality he displayed in constantly attacking the rim. He didn't settle for jump shots. With his performance, Jones established himself as the clear leader of this team, as he should be.
Even while playing among the top recruiting class in the country, Jones found a way to stand out. Little is guaranteed on the road to becoming the national player of the year or a top NBA draft pick, but for tonight, Jones and his stats certainly stood out.

You might think that you know your partner, and that they know you. Your relationship might sail along on a wave of mutual understanding and reciprocal affection, your romantic gestures acknowledged and stored away in a special chamber of your hearts. And then Valentine's Day comes along and screws everything up.
The pressure to exchange meaningful gifts to symbolise our love for one another is overwhelming. Our brains have become scrambled. The insight that we thought we had into each other's wants and needs is shattered by an onslaught of adverts for cuddly toys and power tools. Panic sets in, and in the heat of the moment we spend our money on something that, when eventually unwrapped, has all the romantic allure of a council-tax bill.
We're bombarded with gift suggestions – the same ones, year after year – and however well-meaning their intent, they're all potential sources of bad advice. They presuppose things about our relationship that couldn't possibly be known, yet we find ourselves bowing meekly to them; we're seduced by the idea of seeing that light in our partner's eyes, but we're more likely to see a furrow in their brow.
The gift ideas on these pages aren't inherently bad; there are many situations where they're just perfect. But it's not a given. So let's just all think for a second. Assess whether we're being oversold something that's unnecessarily festooned with lovehearts. Act now to avoid trouble later. Because no one wants to receive that look that says: "You've got no idea who I am – and now I'm not really sure who you are."
Nothing says "I've spent a ludicrous amount of money on this so you'd better like it" as much as ludicrously priced jewellery. Its expensive presence within a neatly wrapped presentation box ratchets up the tension in the room unnecessarily, like Jeremy Paxman. Blinded by the misconception that the price of a gift is a measure of affection, we blow oodles of cash to make up for the fact that we have no better ideas. We push the boat out, buying ornate trinkets for people who don't even wear jewellery. And as a result, thousands of people are currently walking around Northampton wearing something they don't like but are too polite to say so, while thousands of others in Cardiff are trying to handle the simmering resentment they cause every time they leave the thing in a bedroom drawer.
Some gifts come with superstitious warnings attached (not literally). Giving a wallet or purse may lead to abject poverty. A clock may be indicative of time running out on the relationship. That new chef's knife might be used to stab you when you're not looking. Shoes also carry a caveat; so the superstition goes, said shoes could be used by that person to walk away from you… for ever. Slippers, which appear with alarming frequency on lists of Valentine gift suggestions for men, could also be used by someone to walk away from you… across the room and into the kitchen, mumbling, "I can't believe you got me a pair of sodding slippers," as they go.
Men supposedly like gadgets. But the kind of man who would appreciate a gadget as a gift thinks about gadgets a lot. Any idle moments are spent comparing subtle feature distinctions between the MZ-240-C and the MZ-240-CS. He maintains a to-buy list of gadgets which he rearranges regularly, according to subtle shifts in his gadget priorities. And then someone gets him a remote-controlled quadcopter for Valentine's Day. Not quite the remote-controlled quadcopter he was intending to buy, a slightly inferior remote-controlled quadcopter, and it was something like seventh on his gadget list in any case, and he'd rather have had some noise-cancelling headphones, but he appreciates the gesture and so he says, "Thank you for the remote-controlled quadcopter, it's just what I wanted." But it wasn't. Not really.
"Ohio Wife Torches Husband's Truck After Getting Cheap Lingerie for Xmas" ran a headline in an American newspaper just over a month ago. That particular husband didn't understand lingerie – but few men do. You only need to hang out in a branch of Victoria's Secret for 10 minutes to see the expressions of terror on the faces of men who have tasked themselves with buying some. "This stuff just isn't practical," think these men to themselves as they pick up a bustier, not realising that that's kind of the point.
Helpful lingerie advice for men usually begins with a reassurance that this is a bold, adventurous move that will yield fantastic rewards. It then tells you to furtively search through her underwear drawer to find out what size she is – an act which, if interrupted, makes men look anything other than bold and adventurous. Dare to skip the drawer search and you risk buying her some massive pants. Dare to purchase lingerie at all, and you may end up restaging that scene in Annie Hall where Diane Keaton holds up a negligée and says to Woody Allen, "Are you kidding? This is more like a present for you."
Sex toys
Bondage gear, fake tongues, Vertical Turbo Strokers and leather handcuffs might make great gifts within the context of a sexually adventurous relationship, but surprises are not always necessarily a good thing. Outside failing bilateral talks over nuclear weapons reduction, there is no silence more strained and toxic than one where an unwanted dildo is now lying on top of wrapping paper in the corner of a chilly room. You've got to think very carefully about giving a gift that has to be accompanied by a second, more innocuous gift in order to lessen the unsettling impact of the first. "Is that really what you think of me?" "No, I also got you this pot plant."
In the same way that printer cartridges make a truly disappointing gift for the person who doesn't own a printer, it's important that everyone be wary of the issues surrounding cufflinks. Cufflinks are a great gift if the person who's receiving the cufflinks owns a shirt that requires cufflinks. Check to see if their shirts require cufflinks. If their shirts don't require cufflinks, don't get them any cufflinks – or, alternatively, get them a shirt that requires cufflinks and also some cufflinks. Or just don't get cufflinks.
We're frequently informed, particularly around the time of year leading up to Valentine's Day, of the close link that supposedly exists between chocolate and sex. On paper it looks no more likely than a link being established between margarine and 10-pin bowling, but people in white coats who supposedly know what they're talking about insist that chocolate releases a flood of pleasure-related chemicals into the brain. And then, presumably, we have sex. And if said chocolates were selected from a heart-shaped box, the sex would presumably be even better. But ultimately chocolate is just food. You're giving each other food. "Eat this. It's fuel. It makes you go." And bear in mind that if you melted down the expensive stuff that contains horny goat weed, dong quai, shilajit and fo ti, it basically looks the same as a melted-down Snickers. So maybe just give each other a Snickers. At least that would be funny.
A monthly subscription to a men's health magazine
Health mags are hugely popular with many men; their pursuit of the perfect set of abdominal muscles is as burning and intense as any woman's quest to rid herself of cellulite. But to be given what amounts to an instruction manual for shaping up can be demoralising. Every month, the doormat thuds with a reminder that your abs are not even in the lower divisions of the same league as the bloke on the cover of the magazine. Then your partner's eyes say, beseechingly, "Are you yet able to perform a one-armed chin up?" and you'll reply, mournfully, "No, I am not."
Bodycare products
"Darling. Remember how much you liked the thing I got you last year? Well, good news – I've got it for you again." The sheer lack of imagination contained within a bodycare gift set from a high-street chemist that also sells corn plasters is, quite frankly, off the scale. The lower end of the scale. Self-reproducing lifeforms dwelling on the sea bed could do better. These products are purely functional; it's like buying someone some scouring pads. "Here you go – clean yourself with this."
Browsing the higher end of the market, a man might accidentally hit on a winner – but again, men don't understand these products. It's not their territory. They're generally mystified as to why the word "serum" is taken seriously. And when they see that a product is suitable for "dry" skin or "oily" skin, they're beset with anxiety, worried that when they hand it over to their partner, they're basically saying: "Happy Valentine's Day, Oily."
Without wishing to make a sweeping generalisation, men have fridges. Without wishing to make another, they don't need a small fridge for their lager any more than they need a tiny washing machine for their socks. The Valentine's Day industry that exists to claim otherwise is, frankly, baffling.Reuse content

Businesses Increasingly at Risk From Insider Threats
More than half of organizations regularly experience unusual behavior by privileged users, such as administrators accessing data they should not.On average, organizations experience 5.1 incidents each month in which an unauthorized third party exploits stolen account credentials to gain access to corporate data stored in a cloud service, according to a report from Skyhigh Networks. The study, derived from analysis of actual cloud usage across more than 23 million employees, found 89.6 percent of organizations experience at least one insider threat each month, which is up from 85 percent for the same quarter last year. In addition, 55.6 percent of organizations experience unusual behavior by privileged users, such as administrators accessing data they should not, each month. "While small businesses may consider themselves too small to be targets, almost all businesses have documents that are considered sensitive – like customer data or business information they want to keep from competitors," Kamal Shah, senior vice president of products and marketing at Skyhigh, told eWEEK. "Small businesses are much less likely to have a chief information security officer or other form of IT security leadership. They're also less likely to have a plan of action in place to respond to a data breach."
Shah says the first step is education, and he explained security education functions best when it is a seamless part of the user experience, which he called just- in- time training.

Such fun and great way to see all the sights of this beautiful city! Loved it, highly recommended
The highlight of my days in Budapest! Great fun, covered lots of territory, and the guide was charming and informative.
Excellent seaway experience with lots of local information
Tomas was an excellent tour guide--very knowledgeable and fun! This was one of my favorite Segway rides. Thank you for a great time!
You have to do this. This was the most fun ever. After a shaky start on the Segway I soon got the hang of it. We had an excellent teacher and guide in a guy called Balint. He took us all over the city and had lots of interesting historical information to impart. It's a bit breezy so wear a long-sleeved top or something appropriate unless it's baking hot. It's a really good way to get your bearings around the city and you can cover far more distance than you can on foo. Do this. Don't even think about it. I can't wait until I can get on a Segway again!!!
One of the highlights of our time in Budapest. Not only was it fun riding around the city on the Segways, the tour was very informative and interesting. Balint, our guide was very knowledgeable and provided just enough history to be informative yet not too much to become boring. We had a great time.
Lazlo who was our group leader was very knowledgable and informative. His love for his home town of Budapest was very evident. I highly recommend Viator/Yellow Zebra and Lazlo.
Excellent tour and guide. A wonderful way to see the city.
A very fun way to see the city! Our guide Balint was very knowledgeable.He told us lots of interesting details and stories about the places we've visited. Definitely a highly recommended tour!
It was a fun and informative activity. Tamas, our guide, provided a bit of history, was great fun, and ensured that this was a safe event. It was our first experience on Segways and it turned out to be better than we expected.

Kanga was our guide and she was fantastic. It is a great way of getting an overview of Budapest, and helps orientate you to this remarkable city.
Great tour!
This tour was amazing! Our tour guide Balint was very helpful and interesting. Would definitely recommend the tour!
I did the evening Segway tour and the whole experience was amazing. The guide is excellent and it was nice to see the sights with fewer tourists around and also go to an island in the middle of the Danube river.
Great fun. A little slow to start with the actual sightseeing portion due to operation explanation.
Great tour guide , covered a lot of history and ground ! Very fun way to see some of Budapest !
Sandy United States of ...
My husband and I are over 70 and we were very apprehensive about doing this. But, Christy was a fabulous guide and did a great training with us. She was a fantastic tour guide as well...very knowledgeable and a l to of fun too. Highly recommend this tour over the bus or walking. later we went back to several of the sights. A must do in Budapest.
Really great way to take in Budapest. Tour operator was very organized and efficient. Our guide, Balint, was exceptional. I highly recommend this tour.
One of our favorite things we did during our visit! The tour guide was phenomenal answered all of our questions, gave us some great history and current perspective of the city, and provided excellent details and demonstrations to safely ride the Segway, yet still have a good time and go faster than the snail pace I've been on other tours. If/when I go back, I will go on this tour again.
Excellent tour guide Ferenc
you have to try this. And get Lazl as guide - lot of fun and informative too
Had a really enjoyable time exploring the sites of Budapeset on a segway! It was my first time on a segway and the instructions and briefing at the start definitely helped to put my mind at ease. The sights were beautiful and our tour guide was very informative and helpful. Overall a fantastic morning!

Excellent! So much fun, and the only way to see a city. We covered so much more ground than we could have done in foot. Our guide, Adam, was knowledgable and entertaining. Definitely recommend!!!
