There shouldn't be any doubt about who released this album. I think the title leaves little doubt as to who the artist is. I kid. Tasjan! Tasjan! Tasjan is Aaron's fifth full length release and shows some serious growth related to recording, composing, and arranging. Although Aaron is known primarily as a live musician, and rightfully so, he is becoming very adept at working in the studio. Tasjan! Tasjan! Tasjan! is a difficult album to describe as far as genres go. His influences are broad and you get little glimpses of those influences throughout the album. Some of the names that come to mind include The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, T Rex, and Tom Petty. Aaron is able to use synthesis, or the combination of ideas and influences, to create something unique to him and his music. And it works extremely well.
On the track Up All Night, the Petty influence leaves an indelible mark throughout the entire song. The use of electronic processes is in full swing. Any additional knob twisting would have been excessive, but Aaron was able to strike the perfect balance between technology and the music. This is such a perfect pop song. Infectious melodies abound. Even some profound lyrics: "Broke up with my boyfriend to go out with my girlfriend. 'Cause love is like, love is like, love is like that."
Aaron proves that pop is not one dimensional and can change and morph depending on the instruments and the subject matter. Feminine Walk is a song that explores gender roles and sexuality. It does it smartly without being too overt. If you pay attention to the lyrics, it will reveal lots. Aaron throws multiple stories and vignettes in this number, similar to the Dylan style of weaving many plots in one song and somehow makes it work brilliantly.
Glam rock is clearly near and dear to Aaron's heart. Dada Bois is a perfect representation of this genre. It has big, beautiful blasts of instrumentation and has the perfect mix of loud & soft and fast & slow. It also has a strong, harmony laden chorus that ties the song together in a perfect little holiday package. This package is made to be opened over and over again. The use of technology is present but again adds to the song and really accentuates the vocals in a way not often heard. Aaron likes to experiment with psychedelics and this comes through the music. It is tastefully done and helps add finishing touches.
It is said that the third time is the charm, but on Tasjan! Tasjan! Tasjan!, it is the fifth time. It is easy to hear the progression and maturity from the first release to this one. Aaron is clearly a student of writing, composing, and mixing. Like any great artist, he does not rest on his laurels and continues to challenge himself and push the envelope. It may be time to get a new envelope because this one is busting at the seams.
Listen and buy Tasjan! Tasjan! Tasjan! here.

Zero Trust Security
Trust is the belief in the strength, truth, and reliability of other things. The things that are trusted could be people, processes, or objects. Trust in the context of computers and IT means that the users and software trust that their actions will have their intended consequences and no harm will occur.
The traditional model assumed that after a person or software is authenticated and joined the network, they can interact with other processes and access data. Threat actors continually try to take advantage of the trust of people and processes to accomplish their goals. Eliminating the default trust between the people, processes, and technologies in a network describes Zero Trust.
Principles of Zero Trust
There is no single Zero Trust solution or product that an organization can simply install and then enjoy the benefits of the concept. Certain core principles and concepts guide organizations seeking to adopt Zero Trust in their cybersecurity. Common principles include:
- The least privilege required should be given to users.
- No asset or resource is inherently trusted.
- All data sources should be considered in planning.
- All communication should be secured in the highest way available.
- Access should be authorized or denied each subsequent time it is requested.
- Monitor the activity in the network to ensure proper setup.
- Segment the network to create places where authentication can be given.
Zero Trust in Action
Zero Trust can be manifested in different cybersecurity use-cases. Endpoints can run software that employ Zero Trust concepts which block certain actions action or processes from happening. Blocking malicious acts at the endpoint means EDR systems will not need to issue an alert in the first place. The identity and access management processes and guidelines can use Zero Trust concepts when handling logins, access, and other functions.
Zero Trust Architecture describes how whole networks and systems can be built using the concept. NIST 800-207 is an informative document from the government agency that describes the topic in detail. "A zero trust architecture is an enterprise cybersecurity architecture that is based on zero trust principles and designed to prevent data breaches and limit internal lateral movement," according to NIST. The document also makes the point that Zero Trust is not a single thing, but rather a set of guiding principles.

Tech Focus: Networked Audio, Part 2 —Where Live Sound Is Now
Sports venues' sound systems are getting smarter, benefiting from IP
Story Highlights
Live sound in the venue is undergoing the same tectonic transition that broadcast audio is experiencing: the migration from analog and digital point-to-point transmission to being fully hosted on IP-based networks. Venue sound systems have inherent limitations when it comes to this paradigm shift — signals generally go back to analog for their "last mile," from amplifiers to speakers (although active/powered speaker systems can have a very short last mile) — but, from source through DSP processing and amplification, most new sound systems and major system upgrades feature signal transport over IP.
Click here for Tech Focus: Networked Audio, Part 1 — Where Broadcast Sound Is Now
Ben Cating, senior consultant/VP at A/V consultancy Idibri, which has worked on such venues as Angels Stadium and U.S. Bank Stadium, says most new sports-venue sound systems encompass some degree of dedicated audio networking. The transition happened quickly, he adds, propelled by manufacturers' integration of various networking protocols. These included AES67 and AVB standards when they became available, but, by far, Dante compatibility spurred the effort.
"It happened very fast, and Dante drove a lot of that, though AES67 and AVB also pushed it along," he says, noting "alternatives, including QSC's Q-SYS network, that are widely used. We're also still designing in analog backup to major parts of systems. That will also be around for a while."
Paul Murdick, GM, audio/video, integrator TSI Global, whose sound systems are in Busch Stadium, Citi Field, the Edward Jones Dome, and Target Field, sees IP as a de facto standard for venue sound. However, it's up to individual venue owners and managers to determine how deeply those systems go into networked domains.
"Is it going to ride on a separate network, or will it be part of the existing VLAN inside the venue?" he asks. "Those are the kinds of things that are being decided now. The idea of using a network at all is less of a question: a network will be involved to some extent. When networks were operating at 100 Base-T, sound needed to have its own network, which could add to the cost of the overall system. But now that we're routinely at 10 GB and higher levels of broadband, existing network infrastructures can have enough bandwidth on them to allow audio to share them."
Networked audio for live sound in venues is adding flexibility to system design and implementation. For instance, as venues strive to make the experience consistent between the bowl and the concourses around it, point-source and line-array systems covering the playing field can easily be integrated with distributed systems better suited for back-of-house coverage.
Networked systems offer certain efficiencies, such as lower maintenance costs, remote access for monitoring, repairs with software able to flag potential failure points, more-precise zoning allowing better coverage, and elimination of analog-cabled problems, such as ground loops and other artifacts.
However, Murdick points out, the IT skills that broadcasters are leveraging for audio-over-IP applications aren't completely fungible when it comes to live sound, which has aural nuances that cannot always be precisely quantified.
"You cannot replace human hearing and what a trained and experienced ear can discern, when it comes to audio quality and things like artifacts," he stresses. "You can turn a sound person into an IT technician with training, but doing the reverse is a lot harder. As IP gets deeper into live sound, it argues for a hybrid set of skills."
Kieran Walsh, director, application engineering, EMEA, Audinate, parent company of the Dante IP format, believes that, although the incremental steps that have led to the current level of AoIP in sound have been challenging, IP clearly washed over the industry remarkably quickly.
"When you're dealing with bringing it on in the moment, on a day-to-day basis, you really feel the pain," he says. "But, looking back, it was certainly less so than going from analog to digital."

Glowing Results
How It Works
LaseMD™ Ultra, from Lutronic, is the cutting-edge technology behind the skin rejuvenation treatment that's changing people's lives.
This powerful medical device uses a non-ablative, fractional laser. Essentially, this means that, instead of painfully puncturing your skin with needles, LaseMD Ultra creates a column of heat which gently stimulates collagen growth in your skin. All of this, without damaging or harming your skin.
The best part about the LaseMD is that it's fully adjustable to meet just about any need. With settings that go from gentle to a more aggressive approach, the LaseMD Ultra Laser provides the skin rejuvenation answer for all women and men, of all ages, and all skin types.
Because this treatment works to encourage collagen growth, you can expect to see improvements for up to 6 months after your last treatment. In the end, you get the beautiful, smooth, glowing results that you've been looking for without the pain and discomfort that comes from other skin rejuvenation methods.
What To Expect
- Because LaseMD Ultra is so gentle on the skin, no anesthetic or numbing agent is needed.
- The treatment itself is fast enough to be done over a lunch break, depending on how gentle or aggressive it is.
- After your treatment, expect to see some redness for 4-6 hours, or longer if you went with a more aggressive treatment.
Length of Procedure
10 – 20 minutes, depending on the treatment.
Recovery Time
There may be some redness immediately after, but that typically disappears by the next day. Downtime depends on how aggressive the treatment is, but patients can usually go right back to their daily lives.
Expect to enjoy smoother, healthier, and more beautiful skin within 10 days of the treatment, improving for another 12 or more weeks as new collagen production continues.

When someone experiences an opioid overdose, the part of their brain that tells their body to breathe stops working, so breathing is either slowed significantly or stops altogether.
Narcan® (Naloxone), part of the standard of care for Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) programs, comes in the form of a nasal spray that temporarily blocks or reverses the effects of opioids almost immediately; usually within about 30 seconds. While the effect is only temporary, administering Narcan® can mean giving someone that has overdosed enough time for emergency medical intervention and a life saved. It is important to note that once administered the patient is still at risk of overdosing. The Narcan® merely buys someone some extra time for an ambulance to arrive that they would not have had without it.
Narcan® is not addictive
Since one cannot experience a "high" from Narcan®, there is no potential for abuse. It cannot affect someone if it is administered to a person mistakenly believed to be experiencing an opioid overdose, nor if self-administered by someone who believes it can provide a euphoric feeling like an opioid or even a child that ingests the medication.
Project HOPE in Alaska offers Narcan® Overdose Response Kits free of charge to individuals and through various organizations throughout the State. SEARHC pharmacies as well as our Front Street Clinic in downtown Juneau receive the kits from Project HOPE and makes them available to anyone requesting one. The requester will not be asked to provide any personal information and does not need to be a SEARHC patient. The only requirement is for the individual receiving the kit to obtain brief training on how to recognize an overdose and how to properly use the kit. The training takes just a couple of minutes.
Traci Gale, SEARHC Director of Pharmacy, says, "The goal is to get as many out into the public as possible and train anyone to use them."
You never know when you'll need it
People requesting Narcan® kits may be opioid users that wish to ensure someone they spend much of their time with has doses of Narcan® handy, or non-users concerned about someone close to them or that wish to be prepared should they randomly find themselves in a situation Narcan® could save a life.
Sasha Moore, Clinic Manager at SEARHC's Front Street Clinic, estimates they distribute 15-20 Narcan® Overdose Response Kits each month and believes its availability is saving lives that would be lost otherwise.
Traci Gale, PharmD reviewed the information presented here.

Every year Disney Channel releases a bunch of TV movies that are sometimes a hit and sometimes a miss. And sometimes they get sequels. Or even two sequels like the Descendants series. And Z-O-M-B-I-E-S will soon follow after with the cliffhanger they dropped in this movie.
We begin Zombies 2 with another history lesson that goes back even further than the incident with the factory. In the earlier days of Seabrook, settlers fought off a group of werewolves from a stone that contains an unknown energy source. The settlers used it as their main power source and it now lies hidden deep beneath the power factory. In the present time, some time has passed since Seabrook and Zombietown came together and some positive changes have been made. Only Bucky still holds some grudges. During cheer camp, he divides the cheerleaders into two groups: the A-team and the Z-team with the latter consisting out of new people, zombies and people who accept zombies. He wants to become the school president, the leader of the winning team could become cheer captain. Their final challenge is an obstacle course which is won by the Z-team.
When the bus is on its way back, Zed has a brilliant idea to ask Addison to the Prawn. Along the road, he has hung up signs to ask the big question, but he is too late and the bus crashes into the nearby forbidden forest. Addison goes into the forest to find Zed but is greeted by a group of werewolves and werewolf Willa howling to the moon. Short after she is found by Zed, punches him again and tells to all the cheerleaders about her encounter with the werewolves. Meanwhile, the local werewolves are getting sick. They have moonstone necklaces which give them the werewolf abilities, but they are losing their power; without them, they die. A prophecy states that a girl with white hair, called the Great Alpha, will show them where this moonstone is. Because they saw Addison in the woods, they begin to suspect that she is the Great Alpha.
Back in Seabrook, the entire town freaks out and the mayor reinstates the anti-monster laws. This means that the zombies cannot go to Prawn. Zed realizes if he runs for president, he can change those laws for the zombies. During this first debate, the werewolves enter the school to take Addison, but the football team protects her. To get closer to her, the werewolves enroll at Seabrook High. When the werewolves are in Zombietown. Zed tries to get the werewolves to vote for him to win the election, but they do not see the point of changing who they are to fit in. At cheer practice, the werewolves join in. Eliza suspects that werewolf Wyatt has a thing for Addison and Zed and Addison get into a fight because of it.
The werewolves eventually bring Addison to their den, where they tell her the prophecy, and Addison accepts it and changes her style into something more werewolf-like. Because of a misinterpreted text to Bree, Zed, Bree, Eliza, and Bonzo track down Addison to the wolf den. Zed thinks she is in danger and loosens his Z-Band but the moonstone necklaces cause his band to be removed completely and he goes full zombie. Addison puts on his Z-band again and tells him she wants to be there and that she has finally found her pack. The werewolves give her a full charged moonstone necklace, which they have saved for the Great Alpha. If she puts it on and is truly a werewolf. Zed protests this and doesn't want her to become a monster since he knows what it's like. The werewolves give Addison a day to decide. Then they feel an earthquake as the explosions for the destruction of the power plant are tested. Addison notes that the building is fueled by a mysterious energy source and if the power plant gets destroyed, it will crush and destroy the moonstone along with it.
The next day, Addison finds Zed and tells him she is going to put on the moonstone. This means she will miss his presidential debate against Bucky. When Zed hugs her she doesn't notice that Zed takes the moonstone from her. When she realizes this in front of the werewolves they are very disappointed that she could lose such a precious item. During the debate, Zed wins over the humans, but when his Z-band shorts out due to Addison's moonstone, Zed becomes a full zombie and he loses the election.
Meanwhile, the werewolves head to Seabrook Power to find the moonstone, but they trigger the alarm and the Zombie Patrol shows up. The werewolves are arrested and kept in order by silver gas. Addison arrives with the cheerleaders and can stop the demolition for now. They all go outside to celebrate when Zed reveals to Addison that he took the necklace from her. She gets mad at him and puts on the necklace, but finds out that she's not a werewolf. The power plant does get destroyed as the remote control shorts out. The werewolves become even sicker because of this. When Zed visits them in the den later, he is proud that they do not change who they are.
When Prawn night comes around, the zombies and werewolves show up, regardless of the anti-monster laws. Zed and Addison make up. Then the ground starts to shake and splits in half, revealing a tunnel that leads to the moonstone. The werewolves go into the hole to find it, with the humans and zombies behind them to help. They try to get the moonstone out when a huge boulder blocks their exit. Zed removes his Z-band and uses his zombie strength to lift the boulder and allows the others to bring the moonstone out safely. The werewolves charge their necklaces and Zed and Addison share their first kiss. Later, a blue glowing rock falls from the sky at night. This causes Addison's radio to briefly short out. When she wakes up her hair glows bright blue for a short moment.
I think that this movie was a lot better because than the previous. Where the first movie was very cliché, this movie was less focused on the relationship between Zed and Addison and the relation between humans and zombies. But more about finding a place where you belong and that you should be proud of who you are and don't change yourself just because someone else thinks you should change. I like the addition of the werewolves, but some lines in the movie were too cringy and even too offensive to be funny. Like the 'that dog ate my homework' line and Wynter getting scratched behind her ear. I also think they could've given Wynter more time to shine in the movie, especially during the songs.
I found the songs much better and catchier than the previous movie, with the werewolf songs being the best.

I think it's a very nice movie, but it remains to be a Disney movie, including some plot holes or things that just happened without explanation. For a 1,5h movie, a lot happened, maybe even too much. But with Disney's love for trilogies and the cliffhanger, maybe more will be explained during Z-O-M-B-I-E-S 3. I give this movie 4 out of 5 moonstones.

I Spy Spain
Building a Brand with a New Take on Travel.
As a brand-new business, I Spy Spain was still in the process of building its entire brand foundation and needed to craft a brand identity that would capture the imagination of its target audiences – families and couples seeking unique, custom-made vacations in Spain. The owner, Teresa, wanted her business to stand out as a more personalized approach to travel, an alternative to big, "one-size fits all" vacation packages. That required a unique brand strategy and some creative direction, which we were happy to provide. She also needed a website, but to keep within her small business budget, Teresa requested that we provide beautiful design and build the website framework. She would then write, populate and manage her own website content.
Brand Strategy
Tagline Ideation
Brand Identity

Project Link:
Making Dreams Happen within a DIY Budget.
We don't usually suggest too much DIY, but we really wanted to help this small business take flight. Starting with a simplified version of our Brand Discovery process, we made sure we captured the essence of this brand. We got creative with colours and photos, crafted a clever tagline, custom logo, brand palette, mini brand guide, and a branded travel template in Word that Teresa can customize for each traveller's itinerary. We also created a web design concept that would fit her distinctive style.

Amazing Photo Effects. Most of us like the idea of 'picture-perfect' image. For this, we use different photo editors that are available in plenty these days. With each passing day, new photo editing software is introduced so that the users can give professional editing touch to an image. Other than uploading pictures on social media platforms, images are of great importance for the Ecommerce industry. To showcase products, a brand needs to use a high-quality image that is blemish-free.
If you wish to get professional editing, Fotor is a free photo editor that can be considered as an excellent option to try. From basic editing of the image to add professional filters, Fotor does it all in just a few clicks. Below are mentioned some of the benefits of using this photo editing software.
What are the benefits of using the tool for photo editing?
Different types of photo effects are available when using this software, and you can get professional touch with the image easily.
Enhance photo's texture
Photo blurring can give a special touch to an image, and you can use it even if you do not know the techniques that a professional photographer uses. Using the above-said tool, it is easy to apply the blur effect on the image. You need to focus on the part of the image that you wish to blur. In this, one can get easy professional results by following some simple steps.
Apply different blur effects
The application offers different blur effects and you can use it based on your needs. The three effects are 'Title shift,' 'Linear' and 'Title-shift Brush.' Depending on the effects, you can use the blur brush as per the dimension of the image which you wish to blur. So, based on your requirements, apply the interesting effects to make the image look amazing.
Combine photo with text
Gone are the days when applying blur background on an image was only the forte of professional photographers. To highlight an object best in a frame, this photo effect is widely used and one of the best. With the help of the blur image tool in Fotor, it becomes easy to apply the effect in just clicks. But you need to place the blur tool in the correct position on the image to make it look like professionals.
With the help of the blur tool, it is easy to soften the image and then focus on the image to blur it. While adding blur effects, you can add other images and text, making the original image look great with a professional touch.
Therefore, as already mentioned, if you wish to touch up images for social media promotions, it is important to use a top-quality image. With this, it would be easy to catch the attention of the target customers. The overall impact of the image should be alluring for the consumers. You can use both normal mode and the brush mode to apply a blur impact on the image.

Michael Gold, associate director in the Center for Agroforestry in the School of Natural Resources, has been appointed education facilitator for Mizzou Advantage. He joins Mike McKean, director of the Reynolds Journalism Institute Futures Lab, who was named facilitator for the Media of the Future area.
The appointments are designed to enhance Mizzou's collaborative, interdisciplinary culture. Since 2010, four key areas of strength have been collectively known as the Mizzou Advantage: One Health, One Medicine; Sustainable Energy; Media of the Future; and Food for the Future. Nearly 100 research projects involving approximately 400 faculty members and hundreds of students across campus have been spearheaded by a facilitator in each of the four areas in addition to a facilitator that oversees an educational component.
As the education facilitator, Gold will work with MU faculty to develop new interdisciplinary instructional programs for each Mizzou Advantage area, add value and position graduates for professional success, develop courses for the certificate programs while complementing the traditional academic majors, and align Mizzou Advantage instructional activities with the University's mission, including the exploration of alternative delivery methods such as hybrid and 100-percent online courses.
"It's an important turning point for Mizzou Advantage as we move into a new academic year," said Brian Foster, MU provost. "We have hired people who can help move Mizzou Advantage to the next step, including applying for grants from government agencies and focusing on the most rapidly changing jobs in our economy's future. We want to prepare our students for tomorrow's jobs and give our faculty the tools to solve the problems of the future."
Currently, Mizzou Advantage has seven interdisciplinary courses available to students. Undergraduate students also have the opportunity to get involved in interdisciplinary research teams to solve societal problems. Past projects have included economic development of rural communities, social computing for health organizations, and erosion and storm water management. Mizzou Advantage also supports the MU Graduate Peer Mentoring Program that enables senior graduate students to share experiences and perspectives to newly admitted graduate students.
A Passion for Mizzou
"Michael Gold has a passion for Mizzou Advantage and understands the big picture," Foster said. "He has a dynamic understanding of how the education component fits with Mizzou Advantage. In the future, we would like to have a set of educational elements that will prepare our students to be successful in the ever-changing areas of Mizzou Advantage. We need students who can be adaptive in these environments, and I believe Michael can help our students achieve that goal."
"Overall, we want to maximize MU's potential by bringing together resources and innovative educational materials, reaching beyond the borders of Columbia to include students and adult learners worldwide via online courses," Gold said. "Currently, we're hoping to expand our educational opportunities and reach out to the business sector for funding, especially since many industries will benefit from the end results of Mizzou Advantage."
As the facilitator for Media of the Future, McKean will be responsible for developing interdisciplinary projects that involve journalism and bringing together faculty from other disciplines, on and off campus.
Gold received his bachelor's degree in forestry with honors in 1975 from Michigan State University (MSU). He received his doctoral degree in forestry from MSU in 1984. After receiving his degree, Gold become a forestry professor at MSU in 1984 and taught there until he left for MU in 1998. Gold has been teaching agroforestry at MU for 15 years and has won awards for his research and outreach efforts, including the USDA NCR-SARE Paula Ford Professional Development Program Proposal of the Year in 2013. In addition, he serves as the associate director of the MU Center for Agroforestry.

2023 Day 166 – Psalms 134, 146-150
Have you ever been let down by someone that you trusted? The Psalmist tells us who we can and cannot trust. "Put not your trust in princes, in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation. When his breath departs, he returns to the earth; on that very day his plans perish. Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD his God," (Psalm 146:3-5) The Proverb writer points out that the Lord is to be trusted even more than our own selves. "Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths." (Proverbs 3:5-6)
Today's reading: Psalms 134, 146-150

@JitnaughtI do not mean if I am a verified author of modifications. I already have a few mods that have passed the positive verification and added two more to the sound of charging the game. The fact is that the modifications I added later passed the verification and these two fashions are still waiting for verification.I will add that the songs are entirely authored by me personally because I am also responsible for creating music and I have full rights to these works.

RE: Modifications and copyright
RE: Modifications and copyright
@ReNNie now from a different barrel, a few days ago I threw 2 more songs as the sound of charging and have not yet been verified, why? I would add that these songs are my own created from scratch and to which I am as full as possible
RE: Modifications and copyright
ok, I only understand why since the song is generally available on the web does not pass verification and reserved trademarks yes?
Modifications and copyright
Hello, I have a question about copyright when creating modifications. As it is with the addition of mods, I recently had a case where my mod on the sound of loading the game was not accepted even though the song is generally available on the net. As it is with mods acceptance since mine rejected and, for example, fashion where there are registered trademarks pass verification positively? From what I know such signs are also protected by copyright.
RE: Radio station mods, copyrighted music and moderation
@GTA_5_Maniac I have the same problem, although the song is generally available on You Tube has not been accepted by the moderator
RE: is it possible to add a new radio station?
that is, from what you wrote is such a possibility, now only a question of type or after the creation of such a station and the addition of music files will not be rejected for violation of copyright to the songs used in it.But, however, it requires a little sacrifice and the inability to share with the community would be annoying.
is it possible to add a new radio station?
I would like to create a completely new radio station for GTA V, is there any possibility or will I only have to swap files in existing stations?

Clark University Masters of Information Technology
The most effective skill that an IT manager can possess is the ability to take a holistic approach, think critically and creatively, and, thus, mesh disparate elements so that they work together smoothly. Thus, Clark University's Master of Science in Information Technology is designed to prepare professionals to meet this need with confidence. In the M.S.I.T., students learn the strengths and weaknesses of each technology, how all of the technologies interface, and the ability to envision the totality of this new industry.
Evan is a part-time instructor in this program. He has developed a special topics course that focus on issues in information security that help to prepare these future information technology leaders for their part in protecting organizations. The Information Security Risk Management course ran for the first time in the summer of 2008, and another session just completed during the 2009 summer semester.
The next session of this course will be offered in the Spring of 2010 at Clark's Worcster campus. Starting this Spring Evan's class becomes one of the few MSIT courses to be offered to the Graduate School of Management MBA and MSF students as well.
Find more information about this graduate program here: Master of Science in Information Technology.
Special Topics Course: MSIT3440 - Information Security Risk Management
Semester: Spring 2010
Schedule: Wednesdays, 6:30pm - 9:30pm
Campus: Worcester, MA
Course Site: Course Listing
Course Description:
Functional, performance, and economic considerations used to dominate the IT environment, however, security criteria have now emerged as another primary concern for decision makers. It is essential for any IT professional to understand the risk management lifecycle and the various frameworks which have evolved to model proper information security management. This course will explore each phase of the risk management lifecycle, focusing on policies and assessment processes that should be used to properly mitigate and assess risk. Students will learn techniques to perform risk assessments for new IT projects, how to measure security ROI, and how to quantify the current risk level for presentation to executive level management. A common case study will be followed throughout the course to provide a holistic view of how to properly use tools to calculate the costs and benefits of any security investment.
Textbook: T. Peltier, 'Information Security Risk Analysis', Auerbach, 2005.
Course Approach:
Weekly exercises will be assigned to students individually or to be completed in small groups according to the week's topic. The assignments will follow a progression of the typical risk management lifecycle showing students how to complete each step in a real world scenario based on a single case study that will be used throughout the semester. Assignments will be based on an assessment of a fictional government agency and other instructor provided information. The final project will be based on one of three hypothetical scenarios to be assessed using the FRAAP approach.
The midterm exam will consist of several individual exercises to be completed outside of class by students individually based on a fictional government agency case study. Students will receive feedback on individual assignments and should make revisions before turning in the completed midterm deliverable. This deliverable will resemble several sections of a typical risk analysis report.
By the end of the semester, student groups will have completed an entire risk analysis report which is a compilation of the various weekly assignments and midterm exam. This final report will be presented by each group to the class as if they were presenting the results to an executive management group. Students will be graded on the content of the report and the manner in which it is presented.
Course Format:
Every other week, the class period will begin with a short quiz for extra credit based on the assigned reading or last week's lecture material. The answers to the quiz will be reviewed after completion.
Lecture will cover topics related to the reading, but will not just review or summarize the reading. When articles are assigned, the lecture will include class discussions. The topics covered in lecture should help the student apply the reading materials to practical situations and advanced topics. The format will vary based on the week's topic.
When available, guest speakers will come in to present their perspective on a special area related to the week's topic and provide real world examples for students. This also provides a great networking opportunity for students to meet active professionals in the field. When speakers are not available, lecture or hands on activities will be substituted.
Hands on activities or demonstrations will be used to illustrate real world applications of the week's topics. This may involve demonstrations of risk assessment tools, interactive group exercises, or instructor lead hands on exercises to illustrate pertinent concepts. Completion of in class activities and participation in discussions on Cicada (http://cicada.clarku.edu) will comprise the participation portion of your grade in addition to participating in class discussions.

Dreams really do come true. That's the message from a wondrous week in our crazy sport. For Alastair Cook, England legend, bowed out in the most appropriate of ways. A glorious, gritty and gargantuan 147. Not only was back to his best, but Jimmy Anderson became the greatest fast bowler of all time. Two mates. Forever legends. Finally a fairytale ending.
Not only are we weeping for Cookie, but also because England's summer of cricket is over. What a scintillating test at The Oval to finish on. It had everything, a sumptuous feast of golden ducks, crunchy meringues and shelled peas. Therefore the fairytale ending to a princely summer! Consequently Whitto attempts a fitting and funny tribute to the past four months. Judge for yourself if he succeeds or not. We think he may…
What helps is a cacophony of Disney tunes. Like the regularity of Hollywood's handshakes on 'Bake Off' there's far too many. Hence if you find yourself whistling while you work next week, you'll have us to thank. Above all we thank Cookie. And Jimmy. The latter of whom will be pining for his mate over the long, lonely winter nights. Just as Dan Stevens' beast does in Disney's adaptation.
Wait for it… Surely no podcast would ever attempt a sing-a-long?
We aren't just any podcast though are we?!
This is your funny cricket show and Whitto knows how to deliver!
Certainly like a postman on crack, we shovel those parcels away. Plus there's the infamous 'Golden Bail Awards.' The Golden Globes of funny cricket podcasts. Who'll win the award for 'Most Likely To Save His Side At 86-6?' Seriously this show has it all…
So what are you waiting for? There's 13 minutes of random, satirical, insane, wacky and mildly factual moments right below. Have a listen and enjoy.
Dreams really do come true.

The Primary School in Lutindi is an old building in need of renovation. Nevertheless, the school serves its purpose and is still in an acceptable condition compared to other schools in Lutindi Ward (the umbrella term for the five villages that make up Lutindi). However, the condition of the school furniture was such that it was time to replace it.
Thanks to donations from MSV fans and a large donation from MSV fan Peter Schürer, we were able to commission new chairs and new tables for a total of two schools here in mid-February 2021 (140 tables and chairs in total). These were completed in August 2021. Half of these went to the Secondary School, as the headmaster's call for help drew our attention to the lack of school furniture. There were more pupils than workplaces. The other half went to the Primary School.
The discarded chairs and desks of the Primary School were completely refurbished (by the residents themselves) and given to another school in Lutindi Ward in the village of Tamota after we became aware of the dramatic school situation there. The situation is so dramatically bad that we see great dangers for the integrity of the school children (more on this in the submenu "Situation Tamota Primary School").

Michael Cullen
Michael Cullen (1946-2020) was born in Wicklow, Ireland in 1946, Michael Cullen studied at the Central School of Art and Design, London in 1969 and attended the National College of Art and Design in Dublin from 1970 to 1973.

In the latter phase of his career he set up his studio in the Malaga hills in Spain, where the light and colour played a large role in his paintings. His works are in many important collections including the National Gallery of Ireland, the Ulster Museum, the Arts Council of Ireland and under several collections in IMMA, the Irish Museum of Modern Art. An extremely collegiate artist to his fellow artists, Cullen often hung the RHA annual show with great precision. He was also an accomplished printmaker, and loved the alchemy of etching. He made many editions in Graphic Studio Dublin working side by side with master-printers James McCreary, Tom Phelan and Robert Russell.

Potosi Mine may be the site of the oldest lode mine in Nevada. The mine and camp was discovered in 1847. Very little mining took place until 1861 when serious mining began and the town of Potosi came into being. A camp of 100 formed, but mining ceased in 1863. The mine sat idle until 1906 when zinc mining began. During ensuing years, Potosi was Nevada's largest producer.
The photos here are of the old mine foundations. I have not hiked up to the actual mine, which I understand is posted.

text: As we approach a year since the descent of the coronavirus and its scarifying transformation of our lives, it seems natural that we attempt to make sense of what happened and what it means. We expect that for many of us this work will last us the whole rest of our lives. There also may be a concomitant sense of weariness, an intellectual fatigue, a desire to look away from the rolling, all-enfolding disaster, if only for a little while. These two impulses can co-exist within one person, one community, and (we hope) one literary journal. The letters in this issue are direct, unmediated documents of life during COVID-19; they hew to the sturdy, if unimaginative, format of the virus diary. The essays include one piece, by Matt King, that explicitly asks us to look forward to post-corona life and its as-yet-unseen changes. The others—by Patricia Matthew, Emmeline Clein, and Kion You—are less specifically topical but they, too, are absorbing and even disturbing testaments to our contemporary realities.

Four Virtues Barrel Aged Cabernet Sauvignon
Four Virtues Cabernet Sauvignon Aged wine is full of body and it has flavors of dark berries, sweet oak, and spice. The finish of this wine is smoky and firm with refined tannins. Its vibrant aroma consists of blackberry, cherry, and dark chocolate with notes of cinnamon, roasted coffee beans, and toasty oak. It is made in new heavily charred Bourbon oak barrels that imparts nuanced layers of caramel, vanilla, and toasty oak to the "naturally intense dark berry character" of this wine.

Sacramento Party Bus Rental Near Me - Renting A Party Bus
Transportation for big groups tends to be a nightmare, especially when you are all traveling separately. With a party bus, however, the entire group can travel as a single unit. Instead of staring into traffic, renting a bus will allow you and your friends to have fun throughout the trip.

Allowing you to play your favorite music via the AUX/iPod connection and dance to the beats, our party bus rental Sacramento, CA will be more like a club on wheels.
Renting a bus eliminates the risk of getting a ticket on your fun night out. Having a personal chauffeur (or a designated driver), you get to have maximum fun, enjoy alcoholic drinks, and still get to all your destinations worry-free and on time.
Party bus rental Sacramento is ideal for both formal and non-formal events. You can use a sprinter bus for that special night out on the Sacramento, CA town, proms, weddings, bachelor/bachelorette parties, and even company events.
Renting a party bus Sacramento, CA is not as complicated as most people assume. With various options being readily available, you can easily choose the one that suits your needs. Our party bus fleet features vehicles that can fit from as low as 8 people to as high as 50 passengers. It does not matter whether you have a small or a large group, you will always get something to ensure your comfort.
Since you will be traveling together with your friends, paying for the party bus will be more affordable – all you will need to do is pool-in the needed money together with the other riders.

We want everyone, irrespective of his or her financial background, to have the ability to explore Sacramento stylishly and enjoyably. This is why we make sure that our Sacramento, CA Party Bus prices are affordable. That said, the cost of renting a party bus Sacramento, CA varies depending on several factors. The main factors include:
Length of Your Ride
Our party bus rentals are offered in 4-hour time blocks. This means that even if you need a Sacramento, CA Party Bus for a single hour, you may have to pay a rate that covers the 4 hours. If you need the bus to drive you to and from the event, you may need to pay for the wait time even if the bus won't have any passengers in it.
The more the number of hours you need the vehicle, the higher the cost will be. Still, for transporting large groups to those special events – such as bachelor parties and weddings – the marginal extra cost will be worth it to keep the entire group together.
Business Location
Where the bus rental destination is located in relation to the customer's pick-up location does affect the rental cost. Prices will generally increase if the party bus has to travel for more than 30 miles to get to the pick-up location. If the business location does have parking charges and other fees, these could increase the cost of renting a party bus Sacramento, CA.
Time of the Day
The prime time for party buses starts after 5 p.m. This means evening reservations may have a higher cost. If the special event extends into the wee morning hours, the company may charge a higher fee after midnight.

What is financial capability?
Financial capability refers not only to the knowledge needed to make sound financial decisions, but to a combination of financial knowledge, skills, attitudes, and confidence that leads to positive financial behaviours and money management decisions that fit the circumstances of one's life.
- Financial knowledge is an individual's awareness and understanding of money and financial concepts, products and services, and their own financial situation.
- Examples of financial knowledge include understanding financial concepts such as inflation, interest and risk, as well as knowing where to get advice and support.
- Financial skills are hard and soft skills that give an individual the ability to use relevant knowledge to manage financial risks and opportunities. Financial skills are supported by general skills such as literacy, numeracy, problem‑solving, communication and critical thinking.
- Relevant skills include an individual's ability to compare financial products and avoid financial pitfalls such as scams.
- Financial attitudes refer to an individual's mindset and opinions about finances.
- Examples include an individual's motivation to engage with their finances, financial impulsivity and their levels of stress associated with making financial decisions.
- Financial confidence is the belief an individual has in their own abilities to access and use financial products and services, make financial decisions and accomplish financial goals.[1]
- For example, being comfortable talking about money and being comfortable managing their own finances.
- Positive financial behaviours refers to actions that an individual takes to improve their financial outcomes, and can be broadly divided into those involving managing money day‑to‑day and those related to planning for the future.
- Some positive financial behaviours include managing debt and credit use, making savings goals and tracking spending.
An improvement in each one of these elements improves an individual's financial capability. They also build upon each other: knowledge enables skills, skills enable better attitudes and confidence, and they all may lead to the ultimate goal of behavioural change. There is a feedback loop in the development of these attributes – the development of each positively reinforces the others.
Why is financial capability important?
Financial capability is linked to better individual outcomes, by equipping individuals to be able to make choices that suit their personal circumstances and act towards their goals. A range of positive financial behaviours, attitudes and capabilities are associated with improved financial wellbeing and less financial stress. For example, the 2021 National Financial Capability Survey found that people who report keeping a close watch on their financial affairs are less likely to report experiencing stress when thinking about money (29 per cent), compared with those who do not keep an eye on their finances (48 per cent). It also found that people with a three‑to‑five year financial plan are more likely to report that they are either 'doing alright' or 'living comfortably' (83 per cent) compared with those without one (64 per cent).
However, in many specific situations, the most appropriate decisions and behaviours will be highly contextual to the individual, guided by the choices available to that individual and their financial circumstances.
Empowering individuals with sufficient knowledge, skills, timely and trusted sources of information, and the right tools at the right time, can encourage attitudes and behaviours in line with one's own best financial interests. Enhancing financial capability can enable individuals to better understand the risks involved in financial decisions, information asymmetries and the incentives of financial providers. It also enables individuals to be more adept at identifying scams or financial products which are not appropriate for their individual circumstances. Financial capability is also essential to enable Australians to respond and adapt to new challenges and opportunities presented from social, economic and technological change.
Drivers of financial capability
The complementary and enabling factors which can impact individual capability are relevant in considering how to build individual financial capability through targeted initiatives. The primary focus of this Strategy, as outlined in the objectives, is the attributes of an individual which drive their financial decision making. Broader complementary factors, including issues of financial access, consumer protection or financial system regulation are not the primary focus of this Strategy.
A range of factors can influence an individual's financial capability both directly and indirectly. Some of these are captured in Figure 1 as enabling factors. For example, an individual's education, community, access to support and personal financial circumstances will all have an impact on an individual's level of financial capability. Many of these same factors can also separately affect an individual's outcomes. For example, someone's access to education will affect their financial capability, but also impact other factors such as their employment potential which have an overall effect on individual outcomes.
It is important to recognise the impact that broader social and cultural factors have on individual financial behaviours and decision making. Observations of families, peers, community norms and values all naturally shape an individual's financial values and goals[2]. Social, cultural, legal and economic factors can also result in financial exclusion and reduce individual opportunity to access financial education, all of which can have a direct impact on a person's ability and willingness to engage with their finances.
Specific factors will affect the components of financial capability differently and understanding these relationships will help to effectively target initiatives. For example, financial knowledge will be affected by education and access to financial advice and support. Financial attitudes may be most affected by an individual's community, including their friends and family.
[1] Financial confidence is only effective if supported by proficiency in the other aspects of financial capability. Over‑confidence can reduce financial capability, for, by example, leading people to invest in products they do not understand or become susceptible to scams.

Sir Labatt, the message you gave us for The Global Filipino Bloggers Slam book – OFW Edition added strength to me so I may continue my earnest inclination to social media and my advocacy for fellow Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs).
For your belief that books are instruments of knowledge that can transform a person, thank you for sharing the reality that however simple a book may be, its content is immeasurable in worth.
Lastly, for taking time out to share the special occasion of our book launch and signing last August 21, 2015, we felt that the Philippine Overseas Labor Office (POLO) understands OFW bloggers like myself and the other book contributors.
