- First Oakville Toastmasters
Fiat justicia*
Sometimes our business sessions can seem overly pedantic and technical. This is especially true when we're debating a contentious or even provocative motion.
So why do we practice parliamentary procedure?
Right now, two school boards in the GTA (Peel and York) are embroiled in heated controversy and meetings of the boards have been chaotic with disorderly protests resulting in police being called.
The disruption of public meetings (or private meetings of company boards, clubs and organizations) by unruly protestors doesn't just affect the contentious matters at hand but are an affront to the democratic process itself.
In other words somebody thinks that outshouting or threatening people with whom they disagree is an okay thing to do. It isn't at least it isn't in a democratic society.
Why should you care? And, what does this have to do with Toastmasters?
As a member of a club you have a duty to participate in the business of the club. You'll find the rules for parliamentary process in a book called Robert's Rules of Order.
Certainly we vote in an executive (a topic I will return to soon) to serve the club and is trained by District to handle the day-to-day work of keeping our club running but the executive isn't empowered to be a decision-making group. Decision-making is up to you, the individual club member.
Your vote in club issues is of vital importance to the health of your club.
Past president Adrian Scott got me thinking about due process after he sent me an email with an attachment from Food Allergy Canada that outlines the organization's concerns with a forthcoming decision by Toronto City Council that affects its members.
Here's a link to the statement on the group's website.
You'll notice that Food Allergy Canada is advocating action to help influence the Toronto city council vote on the adoption to stock epinephrine in Toronto restaurants and other public places. In the email the author describes the process of how this particular motion was deferred to a committee and then returned to council with a recommendation and now is ready for a vote.
This is politics at its best.
First, you convince an elected member of a decision-making body to make a motion that supports your interests. (At our club any member can make a motion.) Then, as the issue requires input from a technically informed committee, the motion is sent to them for a specific period of time.
As the report from the committee is returned and the issue is scheduled to be debated again, you and your organization reach out to the committee members asking them to support your point of view.
The motion is again brought forward for debate which will now include the report from committee and it will be either adopted or lost depending on the vote of all members of council.
The alternative is either anarchy or rule by imperial fiat neither of which are desirable or fair.
A chairperson who neglects to court the assembly's support of any decision (If there be no objection I declare…) will find themselves unable to proceed as calls of "objection to consideration" will force immediate votes of confidence by the members.
While it is true "a chair gets away with what a chair gets away with" there is a limit to the goodwill and willingness of any assembly to go along with decisions they have not been invited to debate and vote upon.
The minority have a right to be heard (and heard fully) while the majority have the right to rule. You may not like it but it is fair and applies to when it be the king (or chair) or the lowest, most aggrieved and humble citizen.
*Let right be done.

As a complentary tool, iridology can lend insite into the health and functioning of many of your body systems. This is done by observing apects of the iris, correlating to parts of the body.
What does Iridology do?
The iris is the greenish-yellow area surrounding the transparent pupil (showing as black). The white outer area is the sclera, the central transparent part of which is the cornea.
Some of the things that an iridologist can determine from your irises include:
- Toxins accumulating in tissues
- Under-functioning or over-working organs or tissues
- Inflammation in the body
- Stress levels and how you're handling them
- Genetic weaknesses and predispositions – by knowing these in advance, you can take appropriate action to avoid illnesses
- Past injuries and how well they've healed
- Digestive and eliminative systems and how well they're functioning
- Muscle cramps and their locations
- Lymphatic system performance
- Spinal health
- Blood circulation to different areas of the body
What does Iridology NOT do?
Note that there are also some things that cannot be determined from the iris:
- Pregnancy
- Cancerous tumours
- Sex of individual (this is only relevant when viewing an iris photo. Otherwise it's usually obvious from looking at a person what sex they are!)
- Disease diagnosis
The last point is very important. Iridology is a tool to gather information about the tissue state of the body. It does not provide a diagnosis.

Thanks to the public cloud, which has amassed around $150 billion in annual revenues, the software as a service model has grown tremendously. In fact, it's grown by approximately 20 percent a year for the past five years. The public cloud currently houses over a third of all applications used worldwide, making it a significant contributor to the success of software as a service (SaaS). Has your Phoenix business begun to take advantage of this phenomenon?

You can never know whether or not that app you just downloaded to your smartphone can expose your data or identity to risk. While Google Play and the iTunes store certainly put efforts into ensuring that users can safely browse their app stores, it's unlikely that they can find every single malicious app out there before it infects someone's device. Therefore, you need to consider the following measures to ensure that you don't put your business at risk by downloading unsecure apps.

There is a ongoing discussion here on implementing SES integration for the newsletter.
Most people do not really want just SES, they also want the dkim facility.
This really is the simplest way to do it.
Go to wp-config.php and put in the following
* WordPress SMTP server – Configured at Amazon SES
define('WP_SMTP_HOST', 'email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com':wink:;
define('WP_SMTP_PORT', 465); // obligatory – default: 25
define('WP_SMTP_ENCRYPTION', 'tls':wink:; // obligatory: 'tls' or 'ssl' – default: no encryption
define('WP_SMTP_USER', 'SES Credentials':wink:; // obligatory – default: no user
define('WP_SMTP_PASSWORD', 'SES Credentials':wink:; // obligatory – default: no password
This ensures that wordpress now uses your Amazon SES credentials to send out emails.
Change your nameservers to use AWS servers. Once this is done you will have to setup dkim settings. The help is out there for everyone.
Once the DKIM settings are verified by Amazon(usually within 24 hours) all your emails from your wordpress install will automatically be dkim signed and no other setting is necessary.
you may use similar settings for newsletter plugin

9/1/2016 (PRESS RELEASE JET) — Amidst the fanfare around the potential impact of Zika Virus on the Rio Olympics, Scientific Animations, a Los Angeles based medical animations studio, has released a full-hd 3D animation – Zika – Mechanism of Action. The video describes how the Zika Virus affects the human body and its potential adverse effects on fetuses in pregnant mother.
The video summarizes major research breakthroughs around this enigmatic virus, predominantly transmitted through the saliva of Aedes Aegypti, when the mosquito probes for a vein in the human body.
In addition, the video touches upon other medical conditions, such as Microcephaly and Guillan Barre Syndrome, linked to Zika. It depicts how Zika invades the nervous system of fetuses inside the womb and builds a compelling link to Microcephaly in infants.
Check out the video below: https://www.youtube.com/embed/TBCUDkg2Ejk
"Concerns over Zika are mounting at an exponential pace as close to millions of people going back after attending the Rio Olympics. In this situation, we felt our visuals could help a larger audience understand the complex emerging Biology behind the Zika Virus", said Girish Khera, MD Scientific Animations.
Of late, Scientific Animations has added another feather to its cap by bringing 360-degree immersive video, commonly known as Virtual Reality or VR, production into its array of services. Among other benefits, the technology could enable medical students and even practicing surgeons develop a more accurate mental map of a patient's condition before a procedure. They can simulate a 360-degree live view of inside a vein, a cell or other complex organ systems, and learn surgical processes based on that.

I have been giving the Visual Studio 2008 Beta 2 a whirl and the first thing I wanted to do was to open my existing project targeted for .Net Framework 2.0 in Orcas beta. The good thing about the conversion wizard is unlike the the 2005 conversion wizard which converts all projects to use the new framework, this one actually prompts and asks if you want to continue with the existing framework or upgrade to the .Net framework 3.5. Sweet, as I just wanted to test the IDE and not the framework. I am more interested in the IDE capabilities like the JavaScript debugger and Split mode design and code view (just like in Adobe Dreamweaver 🙂 amongst others.
So, I fired up the IDE and opened my existing solution which contained about 6 projects in them including a Website and the rest as class libraries. It opened up the conversion wizard and asked me if I would like to create a backup. I said yes and proceeded. That is where my trouble started. Once the conversion was done I tried building the solution and the compiler threw the following error:
Error 46 It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level. This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS.
I was using the development server and no IIS. And no clue about how to configure a website in the the development server as an application. After scavenging through tons of Google Results I came across a post that mentioned the following:
I don't understand why, but when I have a web.config file defined within the individual application directories, I receive the error described the the person initiating this thread. Removing the web.config file fixed the problem for me. With that said, it is also important to define the applications virtual directory as a web app, the the last forum post explained.
Hmmm.. having read that the backup I created on conversion came across my mind. It was inside the website folder like this:
The backup folder also had a copy of the Web.Config file inside it. That was it. I moved the backup folder elsewhere and tried rebuilding the solution and voila,
========== Build: 6 succeeded or up-to-date, 0 failed, 0 skipped ==========

Paul O'Dette, lute
Few instrumentalists establish themselves with such firm authority as Paul O'Dette has on the lute. In fact, one writer described him as "the clearest case of genius ever to touch his instrument." In fact, O'Dette helped define the technical and stylistic standards to which twenty-first century performers of early music aspire. In doing so, he helped infuse the performance practice movement with a perfect combination of historical awareness, idiomatic accuracy, and ambitious self-expression. "I remember when I first started playing the lute," O'Dette once recalled, "the common perception of Renaissance music was that it was kind of pre-expression — that people didn't use dynamics, they didn't use tone colors…. [But] the more we've learned, we've realized that in fact all of these expressive devices were being used throughout the sixteenth century." O'Dette deserves much of the credit for bringing this aspect of early music to the fore of performance practice.
Performance Date: October 13, 1985

RE: Connecting to Database
Connecting to Database
Just discovered the Asgard CMS and anxious to start using it ASAP to build a couple of things. However, I'm reading a major stumbling blog - namely connecting to my database. Based on what I've reading this SHOULD be a very simple matter. For example. using MAMP, set up a db called 'testing_asgard'. In the command line:
composer create-project asgardcms/platform testing_asgard.
Then: localhost, tesing_asgard, root, root. (it doesn't get any more basic)
And each time: "Please ensure your database credentials are valid.".
I also tried this logging via the command line, creating a database in a non-MAMP directory. Same result.
However, I was able to install Wordpress with the same credentials with no problems, ditto OctoberCMS. I've tried setting this up manually in database.php but it throws up too many errors.
Any idea what could be happening here?
Thanks. CMS looks great otherwise.

Fabgrandpa had an appointment with his endocrinologist in Decatur yesterday. It is 75 miles from our camp host spot to the doctor's office, and the Dekalb Farmer's Market is just a couple miles from the doctor, so we took Gary and Faye with us and set out for our journey. Georgia 400 is a road that is very busy with traffic MOST of the time, but yesterday was a horrible mess. In addition to the normal traffic and construction going on , there was a SUV overturned on the southbound side, which backed up traffic for miles. It took us a half hour to go about 5 miles! OK, so we get through the jam on 400, and get on 285 eastbound, and find the traffic crawling there, too. There had been some kind of bad accident on I-85 north, and the state patrol had closed the ramp from I-285 east to I-85 north. Fabgrandpa's appointment was for 1:30 p.m., and we left home at about 11:15 a.m., and we were still late getting there. Does anyone wonder why we like working in Urbanna, Virginia???
Dr. Singh was as pleasant as ever, and seemed happy to see us. He remembered that we were the couple who lives in an RV, and told us about his parents going in their motorhome to Tempe, Arizona to visit the Cubs training camp. He also told us about his children, who are 3 years old and 6 months old. He is just a very personable guy. He gave s a 20% discount on our office visit bill and the bloodwork, so that was a good thing. He also wrote Fabgrandpa's prescription for 100 pills instead of 30 AND gave us some coupons from the manufacturer for $10 off a prescription of 100 pills. What a guy! Since he did not have the bloodwork results, he actually gave us 2 prescriptions and told us to wait until he calls us to tell us which one to get filled.
Finally, after many hours of traveling (it seemed), we got to the farmer's market. They have a cafeteria there, where they cook the items that are for sale that day at the market. Has anyone ever eaten braised fennel? Or goat stew? Well, I passed on the goat stew, but we all tried a fab soup called Corn and Poblano Pepper Soup. Wow!, that stuff was great! Oh, if you ever go there, keep in mind that they sell the food BY THE POUND, so make your selections carefully.
After we ate, I got the ingredients for bruschetta; Mexican Seafood Soup; and Basil Pesto. Fabgrandpa got a bottle of Portugese wine, some beef pastrami from the deli, and some delish Red Raspberry Jam. Oh, and we got some blueberry muffins and some rye bread. I just love that store.
After we got all our shopping done, we drove down Ponce De Leon to Peachtree Street, sort of a little driving tour of downtown Atlanta. We passed by Becky's condo at 923 Peachtree, and drove all the way down to Phipps Plaza. Got on I-85 north, and you guessed it, sat in traffic, again. We were so glad to get back home to the mountains. I hope we don't have to go down there again any time soon.

A week ago when Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf mended fences with Jamaat-e-Islami followed by a press conference, one saw the Amir of JI and Imran Khan going gaga over each other. It was quite a sight for sore eyes to see tightly shaved Khan sitting with staunchly bearded Sirajul Haq issuing infatuated statements like, 'JI and PTI share similar ideologies' and 'JI fully supports PTI in the war against the status quo.' What else could be more pleasing than seeing a humanly – albeit ci-devant – adulterated and angelic – albeit baleful – pureness in a single frame? What could be more soothing than to see Khan's brusqueness subdued and awed by Haq's irenic courtesy?
Lest the picturesqueness of the entire event drift us away from the substance, let me go back a tad in annals and indicate a bit what the Jamaat has historically stood for. May be our change mongers are able to see through the horrors their current honeymoon with the hoyden could bring.
Haq's benign politics aside, he has never pronounced digress from the path paved by Jamaat's founder. While today's Jamaat might be more willing for political compromise, it has never expressed willingness to do away with the principles and goals laid down by Syed Abul A'la Maududi, the founder. Having coined the terms 'Islamic Revolution' and 'Islamic democracy' in 1941 (in his books Islamic State and its Introduction; The Islamic Law and the Constitution), he was not a big fan of western liberal democratic form of government currently in practice in Pakistan.
When a PTI MNA in a recent TV talk show called every non-Muslim a Kaafir, he was simply professing the teachings of Maududi who had been given approval ratings by the former's party leader in the presser with Sirajul Haq. Big deal? Didn't Maududi write umpteen times that every human being who does not believe in Allah or worships multiple deities is a kaafir? Why get embarrassed about spelling out what your 'closest ally' stands for?
While answering questions in the court of inquiry under Justices Munir and Kayani in 1954, Maududi had expressed his thoughts on who is Muslim, what is an Islamic state, what should be the status of non-Muslims etc. The report that documented these responses told a disturbing story about Maulana's definitions. In 1953, Jamaat was a leading member of Majlis-e-Amal formed by Muslim Parties Convention that sanctioned direct action against Ahmadis in January that year. The bloodshed that followed is, as they say, history.
When the Commission asked Maududi about the status of minorities, he said the religious minorities were to be secondary citizens in an Islamic state like Pakistan and had no right to be part of government, government machinery or even of preaching their religious beliefs. When reminded of Quaid-e-Azam's address to the first Constituent Assembly of Pakistan on August 11, 1947, Maududi said that kind of confused state had ceased to exist when the Objectives Resolution was passed from the same Constituent Assembly. In short, Jinnah's Pakistan had died in March 1949 giving birth to Maududi's Pakistan. Let Imran Khan decide if he wants to resurrect that good old Pakistan that Jinnah founded or wanted, apparently, to found.
About women, Jamaat-e-Islami is still following its founder's views, i.e., mandatory veiling totally covering hands and feet with complete segregation between sexes. Wonder what would Maududi be thinking while listening to the Haq-Khan presser wherein they declared PTI and JI to have the 'same ideology'. Khan should be proud to have defeated the segregation principle, at least in the Islamabad sit-ins. Same ideology? Well, may be. Because looking at girls' educational institutions within Khyber Pakhtunkhwa – Khan's territory of reign – the segregation principle appears to have overruled all the youthful modernization PTI manifests in the rest of Pakistan. Same ideology, yes.
Go a little backwards and you would find Maududi arguing on the concept of state, completely rejecting the idea of Pakistan, disparaging Jinnah as kafir-e-azam etc. That changed after Jinnah was able to get the 'moth-eaten' territory and tore people. Maududi quickly turned towards the new-born country, hurried to migrate from his native Pathankot (India) and embraced Pakistan as his principle ambition of transforming into Islamic state. Prior to this point, Maududi had always argued that Jinnah's idea of Pakistan was a 'state for Muslims' or a 'Muslim state' rather than 'Islamic state', hence his fierce opposition to it. As soon as he came to Pakistan after partition, his and his party's stance also changed. They started saying, and still say, that Pakistan came into being in the name of Islam. May be Khan is able to resolve this now when he has found his soul mate in the Jamaat.
Maududi's stance on nationalism was equally disturbing. He rejected the idea of a state based on nationalistic identities. Anyone supporting such statehood was, in Maududi's view a Kaafir. Indian Muslims, as per Maududi, were obliged to support Pakistan in case of war between the two countries. If they failed to do so, they would automatically become kaafirs. For him Pakistani nationalism was secondary to Islamic nationalism. Something that Pakistan's textbooks continued stuffing in young minds since Zia's time. Decades after Maududi, we were reminded of this ideology by Jamaat under Munawwar Hassan who rendered martyr-hood to Islamic militants fighting the Pakistan army. Wonder if it bothers our marionette.
It is interesting to look at Jamaat's allies when Maududi and his comrades were sanctioning direct action against Ahmadis in 1953. Tehrik-e-Khatm-e-Nabuwwat, which was an offshoot of Majlis-e-Ihrar was Jamaat's main ally in anti-Ahmadiya movement of those years. Majlis-e-Ihrar, for starters, was a collaborator of Indian National Congress and was anti-Pakistan to the hilt. Even after embracing the idea of Pakistan. Maududi could not isolate himself from these elements.
Wondering why the 'patriotic' establishment of Pakistan did not notice such anti-state elements? This is the same establishment that never delays accusations of treason over slight ideological disagreements. You might get the answer if you look at how Jamaat-e-Islami was used in the Afghan 'Jihad' during the 1980s, in East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) and in 1965 (1948 too) when Maududi gave a fatwa that fighting to get Kashmir was jihad.
Even in recent years, Mansoora does not stand cleared of the reports of terrorists arrested from its premises or the compounds of its ardent followers / members. Jamaat has yet to answer why its Amir discouraged women to raise their voices against rape and to report rape if they didn't have witnesses. The Jamaat has yet to answer why Dr. Usman, who attacked GHQ, lived in Mansoora. It has yet to answer what its workers like Arshad Waheed were doing in Wanna when attacked by US drones. It has yet to answer why Al-Qaida leader Khalid Sheikh Mohammad was present in one of its leaders' house. But to get answers to all these questions, someone from the state institutions will have to quit supporting Jamaat. Guess who?
Imran Khan is the best person to get these answers, as he has openly consented to have the 'same ideology' with the Jamaat.

2013 PCI SSC European Community Meeting Wrap-Up
November 04, 2013, Andrew Barratt, Managing Director, Europe
Matt Getzleman – PCI Practice Director, Dan Fritsche – Director, Solution Validation, Andrew Barratt - Managing Director UK, and Brian Pennington – Regional Sales Director, discuss the recent PCI SSC Community Meeting in Nice, France.
Matt: For our regular readers, we should introduce our European management team: Andrew Barratt and Brian Pennington. Andrew recently took on the role of our European Managing Director and Brian is our European Sales Director; both are well known faces in the information security world due to their regular involvement in the various communities that support the industry.
Matt: Andrew, the community meeting seems to have been a great success here showing off the breadth of standards the SSC is managing now as well as the cooperation with EMV Co.
Andrew: It has. The assessor pre-meeting is a great way to be able to catch up with the wider QSA community and to be able to discuss the standard directly with the PCI Security Standards Council (SSC). The SSC is hugely receptive to feedback from those of us at the conference and it was great to hear the future updates to the current draft of version 3 are based directly on community feedback.
Matt: Brian, the new revision of the standard and the SSC briefings gives us a lot to talk to our clients about and as we see them focusing on making the standard more business as usual and discuss common breaches.
Brian: It does, the changes and clarifications provide opportunities for our clients in both the merchant and service provider communities – technical solutions are becoming more mature and merchants have a much greater choice when it comes to implementation. The role of our QSAs and P2PE QSAs are hugely important, especially when we look at our global reach. Unfortunately the cyber criminals are adapting all the time and so the security standards must do the same.
Matt : Dan, I've not forgotten about you! As you and Andrew hold the PCI-P2PE badges, what did you think about the difference between the U.S. and the European markets?
Dan: Well, first, it's great to see the impact that EMV chip and pin is having on reducing fraud rates out here but as Jeremy King mentioned in his speech, EMV is often very misunderstood. It's just one part of the equation and has no impact on ecommerce/card not present trasactions, which is a much bigger concern in the fraud area in the U.S. The P2PE standards are complex and multi-faceted but complement both the chip and pin and swipe payment options very well. When we are helping our clients with their P2PE road maps, it's vital we take the lessons learned in Europe back to the U.S. since during the EMV progress there's a good opportunity to implement and accredit PCI-P2PE solutions.
Matt: What about the P2PE solution provider listing announcement?
Dan: Well, I'm sure everyone is glad to see confirmation that it can be accomplished! P2PE is certainly a clearer fit in Europe since EMV is well in place, so it's not surprising to see that a European company was the first to achieve this. Larger and more complex P2PE solution providers still face some challenges, but just as previous go-to-market standards continued to mature, we will see more solutions getting listed and eventually this excellent program and better technology will be available to more and more merchants.
Matt: And what about your continued passion for PA-DSS, anything interesting there?
Dan: Always! There are a few more technical changes than there were when 2.0 came out, so more merchants are likely to need to make changes than last time. Many clarifications on the various requirements were covered that should help software vendors understand what they need to do better, and help PA-QSAs do their jobs better as well. As with the DSS, I think we should all be on the lookout for another round of improving the detail and quality of how the software works and meets the requirements. This basically means that software vendors will need to be prepared to do more explaining and better documentation of how their applications work and how they are secured.
Matt : The SSC picked a great location this year, and it has given us a good chance to catch up with our European teammates. When the final revision of version 3 is released we will keep you up to date with all the changes and what they mean.
Dan: Yes, it's hard to complain much about being here! I hope others took advantage of the great availability of so many staff from both PCI and the various card brands, they need everyone's direct input, and not only do they take it seriously, they also have great insights to share!
Coalfire started in 2001 with a simple idea – cyber threats are increasing, compliance mandates are getting more complicated, and a well-designed cybersecurity program can help fuel your overall success.
Coalfire helps organizations comply with global financial, government, industry and healthcare mandates while helping build the IT infrastructure and security systems that will protect their business from security breaches and data theft. The company is a leading provider of IT advisory services for security in retail, payments, healthcare, financial services, higher education, hospitality, government and utilities.
The Coalfire Board of Directors provides invaluable guidance for the organization and reflects Coalfire's dedication to achieving success for our customers.
Coalfire's executive leadership team comprises some of the most knowledgeable professionals in cybersecurity, representing many decades of experience leading and developing teams to outperform in meeting the security challenges of commercial and government clients. With diverse backgrounds in IT systems security, governmental security, compliance, and reducing risk while implementing the latest enabling technologies (such as the Cloud and IoT), our leaders understand the challenges customers face.
Security is a team game. If your organization values both independence and security, perhaps we should become partners.
With a passion for quality, Coalfire uses a process-driven quality approach to improve the customer experience and deliver unparalleled results.
Created in honor of the late co-founder of Coalfire, the Richard E. Dakin Fund at The Denver Foundation is supporting scholarship programs at several universities for promising college students studying cybersecurity and related fields.
The increased need for cyber security has become a common enterprise priority across the globe. However, industry requirements for effective cyber risk management are as distinct as the individual entities under fire. Enterprises and government organizations need more than an off-the-shelf audit to provide an effective threat assessment. They need industry- and organization-specific insights, tools and processes to protect digital assets and ensure compliance.
Coalfire can help cloud service providers prioritize the cyber risks to the company, and find the right cyber risk management and compliance efforts that keeps customer data secure, and helps differentiate products.
"Success" at a government entity looks different at a commercial organization. Create cybersecurity solutions to support your mission goals with a team that understands your unique requirements.
The financial services industry was built upon security and privacy. As cyber-attacks become more sophisticated, a strong vault and a guard at the door won't offer any protection against phishing, DDoS attacks and IT infrastructure breaches.
The continuum of care is a concept involving an integrated system of care that guides and tracks patients over time through a comprehensive array of health services spanning all levels of care. Interoperability is the central idea to this care continuum making it possible to have the right information at the right time for the right people to make the right decisions.
Maintaining network and data security in any large organization is a major challenge for information systems departments. However, in the higher education environment, the protection of IT assets and sensitive information must be balanced with the need for 'openness' and academic freedom; making this a more difficult and complex task.
When it comes to cyber threats, the hospitality industry is not a friendly place. Hotels and resorts have proven to be a favorite target for cyber criminals who are looking for high transaction volume, large databases and low barriers to entry.
The payments industry is undergoing rapid changes and unfortunately, an increasing risk for data breaches. Cyber criminals are growing increasingly businesslike, and payments leaders need to move quickly to cover their cyber risk.
The global retail industry has become the top target for cyber terrorists, and the impact of this onslaught has been staggering to merchants. To secure the complex IT infrastructure of a retail environment, merchants must embrace enterprise-wide cyber risk management practices that reduces risk, minimizes costs and provides security to their customers and their bottom line.
Private enterprises serving government and state agencies need to be upheld to the same information management practices and standards as the organizations they serve. Coalfire has over 16 years of experience helping companies navigate increasing complex governance and risk standards for public institutions and their IT vendors.
Technology innovations are enabling new methods for corporations and governments to operate and driving changes in consumer behavior. The companies delivering these technology products are facilitating business transformation that provides new operating models, increased efficiency and engagement with consumers as businesses seek a competitive advantage.
Cybersecurity has entered the list of the top five concerns for U.S. electric utilities, and with good reason. According to the Department of Homeland Security, attacks on the utilities industry are rising "at an alarming rate".

Southsea Coastal Scheme: Pre-planning survey
Your thoughts about our updated proposals
The Southsea Coastal Scheme stretches for 4.5km from Old Portsmouth to Eastney, and will help to reduce the risk to 8,077 homes and 704 businesses from major flood events. The existing defences are at the end of their useful lifespans and will not protect the area from predicted sea level rises.
Following our major consultation in summer 2018, we have revised our plans further in response to your feedback. We now want to know what your think about the updated proposals before we submit our planning application in the spring.

I had seen this pretty card on Pinterest, using a different companies stamps and I thought ohhh I wonder how I can make this with my stamps... and here it is:
Cute hey! I have to admit it was nice to step away from Christmas for a minute and remember all the lovely stamps we still have in the Annual Catalogue. But in saying that I do think this card design may appear in my next Christmas card!
The pattern paper gave me the colour combo for colouring in my flower and I used our Blends in Highland Heather and Mint Macaroon, with some Crumb Cake for the leaves and a little Pineapple Punch for the centre.
STORE and place your order. Oh and don't forget to you my Hostess Code, as it helps me to be able to give away freebies and offer specials.

Like Emily Blunt's magical nanny, "Mary Poppins Returns" is disappearing again, this time from theaters.
Rob Marshall's original musical has transitioned to the eternal world of home viewing (available on digital platforms now, Blu-ray on Tuesday). But less certain is where it will land in movie history.
Will Blunt's portrayal stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Julie Andrews' performance in 1964's classic "Mary Poppins"?
Somewhere along the way during the film's theatrical release and the politically charged awards season that followed, "Mary Poppins Returns" lost some of its luster, going home empty-handed on Oscar night.
"Momentum ebbs and flows with movies. But 'Mary Poppins Returns' is a huge and gutsy undertaking and enormously successful follow-up," says Ben Mankiewicz, film historian and host of Turner Classic Movies. "It's an incredible task to make a movie nostalgic and new at the same time, which they did. … They're bold, knowing that the first conversation people would have afterward is, 'I really like it but it's not as good as the original' – which happens to be one of the classic musicals of all time.""Mary Poppins Returns" had all goodness going into its release with the musical pedigree of Marshall, the most exquisitely suited modern Mary Poppins in Blunt and the hottest musical talent in "Hamilton" star Lin-Manuel Miranda as lamplighter Jack.
Marshall shot the $130 million project over eight months on eight elaborate soundstages and some of the most iconic locations in London (Big Ben, St. Paul's Cathedral, Buckingham Palace), and recruited Dick Van Dyke to reprise his role as Mr. Dawes, who danced on a desk at age 91.
Critics reviewed "Mary Poppins Returns" positively (though not with the universal acclaim of the original), giving it a 79% "fresh" rating on aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes. The National Board of Review and the American Film Institute placed the movie on their top 10 list for the year, important historical markers. Audiences embraced the family musical, not overwhelmingly, with a healthy $347 million worldwide box-office haul.

By David Byrnes, Courtney Jacquin
In Chicago's Rogers Park, the more things change, the more they stay the same.
The community surrounding the Morse Red Line stop knows its small business population to be highly mercurial, with different institutions coming into and running out of money almost with the seasons. However, other businesses in the same area, like The Heartland Cafe, Red Line Tap and Lifeline Theatre have stood for decades, with no sign of shuttered doors anytime soon.
So why have these businesses flourished for so long, while others seem to live on borrowed time?

I was just surfing around on route 105 and then I found this weird circular island with this rock in the middle, and rocks surrounding it except for an entrance. Is there anything special about that island?
I think this is the island you're talking about.
On this island is the Island Cave, which can be accessed by completing the puzzle of the Sealed Chamber. You can find Regice in the innermost chamber.

Animal Totem
Odds are that even if you know something about guides you are a bit confused over the scores of terms for them. So what exactly is the difference between a totem animal, an animal guide, a spirit guide and a familiar? Well that all depends on where you look for the definitions….. Not quite what you were hoping to hear? Well I have found that animal guides tends to be a pretty general term, referring to either physical or spiritual manifestations and either individualized or more general viewpoints. Familiars tend to be viewed as involved with witchcraft and magical circles, in fact, they are said to heighten the energy of a circle. They are often seen as physical creatures, but can be non-physical as well. Often a person's "pet" that has a very close connection with them is considered a familiar. They tend to be very individualized, addressed with personal names rather than as "Cat" or "Raven Spirit". Totem animals are connected with shamanic teachings. They tend to be viewed more formally that familiars. They are addressed as "Wolf" or "Bear Spirit" with physical wolves and bears seen as manifestations of the singular wolf or bear spirit. Spirit guides is an even more general term than animal guide. It can be used to encompass totems spirits, familiars, animal guides and other various and sundry spirits such as "ghosts", and "angels". Basically an non-physical creature that serves as a protector and guide can be called a spirit guide. These are just some of the commonly used terms. You will also see spirit totem, power animal, spirit animal. Basically it boils down to a very simple definition. "An entity often an animal, either physical or non-physical, that acts as a guide and protector. The spirit nature of guides gives you the chance to interact with animals and beings you might not get to in real life. For example very few people can keep a lion in their backyard, a shark in their pool or a unicorn in their apartment. So people choose to keep the specific nature of their guides to themselves. It is believed that this can serve as a form of protection, keeping others form having power over you.
Do You Know Your Animal Totem?
Begin the process of discovering your animal totems by examining the animal you have been most interested in and the times in your life that interest was peaked. Use the following questions to help determine which animal are probably totems to you in your life:
1) Which animal or bird has always fascinated you?(we are drawn to that which most resonates with us. Those animals which fascinate us have something to teach us.)
2)When you visit the zoo which animal do you want to visit first or the most? (especially children)
3) What animal(s) do you see most frequently when you are out in nature? Have you had encounters with animals in the wild? (The animals we encounter, in their city environments or in the wild, have significance for us. We can learn from them, even if only about survival within the environment.)
4) Of all the animals in the world, which are you most interested in now? (our interests in animals change, Yes, we usually have one or two that are lifetime, power animals, but others become prominent when there is something of importance or specific to teach us).
5)What animal most frightens you? (That which we fear the most is often something we must learn to come to terms with. When we do that, it then becomes a power. Some shamans believe that fears will take shape as animals, and only when we confront them without fear do their power/medicine work for us instead of against us. Such animals become shadow totem.)
6) Have you ever been bitten or attacked by an animal? (Historically, if a shaman survived an attack, it was believed that the animal was the shaman's spirit totem and the attack was the totems way of testing the shaman;s ability to handle the power.)
7) Do you have dreams with animals in them or are there animal dreams you have never forgotten? (This is especially important if the dreams are recurring or if at least the animal image in the dream is a recurring one. Children often dream of animals , & attention should be given to these animals. They will often reflect specific spirit totems of the child.)

Hi Ceel,
I tried too to update an old ISO, and it fails too (Erkan Yilmaz forced me to do it ☺).
The update process was long, and during it, first, LXPanel's menu stops to work, then LXPanel itself, TazWeb fails, then all hangs :-(
I can only guess (because I'm too slow on things I not very interesting) that old ISO version has different Glibc and/or some very base packages (toolchain). Can you compare the versions of toolchain in that original ISO and that the link say?
It looks for me now, two solutions are exists: say old ISO is un-upgradeable and make new one; update (rebuild) all the packages contained in the ISO, maybe somewhere old dependency not updated (we have no tools currently to check this).

Today was a park day. We took the girls and one of their cousins to the park for some outside playtime before the fall weather starts to turn and the equipment gets buried by the snow. The older girls immediately went for opportunities to climb the play structures as high as they could go. Our two year old started out with lots of climbing up the stairs and sliding down the twirly slide.
Then she discovered other ways of getting up to the slide. She ditched the stairs and starting climbing up other ways.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Each afternoon in September, in honor of the 50th anniversary of the Wilderness Act, we're spotlighting three of Arizona's 90 wilderness areas. For more information about any of the state's wilderness areas, visit Wilderness.net, a collaboration between several wilderness-related organizations. The information here comes from that site and the wilderness areas' managing agencies. Always contact the managing agency before visiting a wilderness to learn about any restrictions that may be in effect. To see our entire Wild Arizona series, click here.
Paria Canyon-Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness
One of the most photographed wildernesses in Arizona (or anywhere), this area includes "The Wave," a geologic formation visited by only a handful of people per day. Paria Canyon, meanwhile, is one of the world's best backpacking destinations. Check weather forecasts before entering the canyon, as flash floods are possible.
