Media Messages
In the aftermath of the September 11 terrorist attack, Americans need to be particularly mindful of messages which contain bias. Historical and contemporary images often contain hidden messages about us, about others and about our world. These subtle messages lie just beneath the surface. As a nation of media consumers, we need to ask questions about what we see and why we perceive things as we do. We need to teach our children to question and to reflect upon words and images to which they are exposed.
Questions when looking at images:
With any group, select a picture from a newspaper or magazine and remove all captions. Examine the image and respond to the Questions When Looking at Images. The range of responses should produce a lively discussion and reveal some hidden biases.
While there has been a movement toward more diversity, most magazines still favor very slim Caucasian models, sending a quiet message about "beauty." Advertisements for cosmetics and certain articles of clothing often suggest attention to one's makeup, hair or dress have less to do with self image and more to do with attracting the opposite sex.
Web sites provide a fertile ground for extremist groups. Often, a site incorporates symbols and graphics in its pages. A confederate flag or a particular religious symbol send messages which we need to recognize. We need to ask,"What is the intended audience for this page?" "What is the intended visual appeal of the layout?" "What do the symbols represent?" "Do the symbols / images exclude a particular group or narrow the audience to a targeted few?"
Questions when looking at words:
An often used expression, "as American as apple pie," provides a good example of an expression which has no true meaning but evokes an image of an ideal American reality which is characterized by a food associated with a particular racial group. Aren't black eyed peas characteristicallyAmerican?
At home and in the classroom, we need to be media literate.

Google and Twitter may be next in line for a Capitol Hill grilling on privacy after Facebook co-founder and Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg spent the better part of this week being questioned on the company's data collection and management practices, as well as their relation to the industry as a whole. In a statement given to CNET, Democratic Senator Mark Warner from Virginia referred to the existing state of data protection practices in the sector as "a huge issue" that both Twitter and "Google and YouTube as a single entity need to address."
Alphabet's subsidiary, Twitter, and Facebook already met with lawmakers in November when they discussed their efforts to combat online misinformation campaigns such as the one certain foreign actors from Russia ran during the 2016 presidential election in the United States. To date, Special Counsel Robert Mueller indicted thirteen Russian nationals and three entities from the same country for illegally interfering with the U.S. democratic process. The Cambridge Analytica controversy that prompted Facebook's stock to plummet and placed the company under massive regulatory scrutiny is also partially related to the case, with the American political consulting firm being accused of buying improperly harvested data of some 87 million Facebook users in order to support the Trump campaign during the last election. While the firm worked for the campaign, it repeatedly dismissed using the data obtained in 2014 through a personality quiz that asked users to log into it with their Facebook accounts and has already agreed to a forensic audit of its servers meant to prove it deleted the controversially mined data in 2015 after Facebook asked it to do so.
Google's business model is relatively similar to that of Facebook in that it offers largely free services to consumers, collects their data, then uses it for the purposes of targeting advertisements it sells. Many industry watchers are already speculating about the Mountain View-based tech giant being targeted by the new privacy probes being ordered by Capitol Hill and any regulations that may stem from the Cambridge Analytica scandal are likely to apply to the Silicon Valley as a whole and not just Facebook.

In 1890 the Woodland Park Railway street car line starts running from Fremont to Guy Phinney's residence, subdivision, and private park called Woodland.
In early 1889, real estate developer Guy Phinney (1851-1893) purchased a large tract of land west of Green Lake in the wilderness north of Seattle. He had big plans for this tract of land. With about 200 acres of mostly old growth trees, he planned to develop for his family's personal estate -- a mansion, an English park, a ballpark, a bandstand, a small herd of deer, and a menagerie of other animals.
He developed the rest of his land in a flurry. In just four days, beginning May 17, 1889, he took major steps. Phinney, with Daniel Jones and Benjamin F. Day, incorporated a company called Woodland Park Electric Railway. King County commissioners gave permission to construct a streetcar line from the town of Fremont to his estate. And he completed a plat with about 175 lots he called the Woodland Park Addition to the City of Seattle, located north and west of his estate.
Phinney then started laying tracks for the Woodland Park streetcar line that ran north from Fremont along 5th Street and ends at Pine Grove Street which was the entrance to his private park, which he named Woodland Park. Later, 5th Street was renamed Fremont Avenue and Pine Grove Street was renamed N 50th Street. The area would later be called Phinney's Ridge. The two streetcars started running between Fremont and the park in 1890.
The 1893 death of Guy Phinney at the age of 42, and the beginning of a four year depression, destroyed his plans. By about 1899, the Woodland Park street cars stopped running and Nellie Phinney, Guy's widow, sold the private park to the City of Seattle. The tracks remained unused until 1906, when the Seattle Electric Company reestablished the route.

This tube-shaped bead is created from natural white mother-of-pearl. Its iridescence and linear design make it an ideal choice for both vintage and contemporary necklace and bracelet designs. String several beads together to create a bold, monochromatic effect, or alternate tube beads with other bead designs to create a texture-rich strand.
Named for its resemblance to the finish and color of pearls, mother-of-pearl beads are made from the hard, iridescent material that forms on the inside of some shells and shellfish.
• Bead sizes and hole sizes are approximate and may vary slightly from bead to bead.

Grow4Vets has been handing out cannabis to military veterans for about a year in Colorado.
Now, after a ruling by the Colorado Medical Board to not recognize marijuana as a treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder, High there! and Operation Grow Four Vets and Incredibles have teamed up to host an impromptu rally on their Save a Million Vets Tour.
"We started this summer in Portland," said Todd Mitchem CEO of High There! "But with the negative ruling — in such a pot-friendly state — we decided to make a stop here before heading to Los Angeles, Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico.
"Our goal is to make sure these everyday heroes get medication, which will actually help ease their stress and pain, while getting them off prescribed drugs, which in fact can lead them to higher stress levels and even suicide."

Spectral control of the emissivity of surfaces is essential for efficient conversion of solar radiation into heat. We investigated surfaces consisting of sub-wavelength V-groove gratings coated with aperiodic metal-dielectric stacks. The spectral behavior of the coated gratings was modeled using rigorous coupled-wave analysis (RCWA). The proposed absorber coatings combine impedance matching using tapered metallic features with the excellent spectral selectivity of aperiodic metal-dielectric stacks. The aspect ratio of the V-groove can be tailored in order to obtain the desired spectral selectivity over a wide angular range. Coated V-groove gratings with optimal aspect ratio are predicted to have thermal emissivity below 6% at 720K while absorbing >94% of the incident light. These sub-wavelength gratings would have the potential to significantly increase the efficiency of concentrated solar thermal systems.

Poor old action stars. They've got to stay in shape constantly, do dangerous stunts and somehow look cool delivering terrible one-liners.
What they don't often get enough credit for is their actual acting.
But, if the entries on this list are to be believed, there is the potential under all of those muscles to deliver knock-out performances. (Not everyone, of course – Steven Seagal was never going to make this list.)
Whether or not they get awards recognition for them, well, that's another story...
1. Sylvester Stallone - Cop Land (1997)
Two-time Oscar nominee (for Rocky, and Creed) Stallone's finest performance received hardly any awards acclaim, despite being warmly received by critics and audiences alike.
Perhaps Stallone's other '90s efforts, which included Cliffhanger, Judge Dredd, Assassins and Daylight, convinced awards circles he couldn't possibly be worthy of shiny acting trophies.
It's a shame, especially when you consider Stallone piled on the pounds for James Mangold's crime drama Cop Land, which was probably as tough for him as it is for us to go to the gym.
Still, he may not have won all the awards for his efforts, but he didn't feel out of place in a cast that included Harvey Keitel, Ray Liotta and Robert De Niro, which is reward enough.
2. Jean-Claude Van Damme - JCVD (2008)
Best known for martial-arts movies including Bloodsport, Universal Soldier, Hard Target and Timecop, Jean-Claude Van Damme was the last person we expected to star in an existential arthouse film deconstructing his career and personality.
But JCVD, titled after Van Damme's nickname, was exactly that – a fictionalised biography, which contained a six-minute single-take monologue which was basically a brutally brave account of some of the problems he's faced in his own life.
Experimental, odd, but with a brilliant dramatic performance at its centre, JCVD is essential viewing whether you're a fan of Van Damme's "interesting" take on Guile in Street Fighter (1994) or not.
3. Arnold Schwarzenegger - Maggie (2015)
In 2015, Arnie turned in a performance critics called "delicate", "heartfelt" and "moving" – putting down his Uzi and picking up his Ozu boxset, for a zombie film with a difference, the intense grief drama Maggie.
And he enjoyed the experience.
"I hope to get more dramatic pieces like this," Arnie said, "because I really enjoyed doing this film, and to do something small like this, where you concentrate on performances and on scene development, rather than just rushing through those type of scenes and then shooting days and days of big action, blowing things up – which is great!"
"After this movie, I did Terminator 5, where we blew up enough stuff, and had enough chase scenes and action scenes and flipping buses through the air and those kind of things. But you don't spend as much time on those kind of movies on scenes like in a dramatic piece like this. It's a totally different kind of film, and I'm looking forward to doing more of this kind of work."
Sadly, Maggie was a bit of a flop, and Schwarzenegger's next dramatic attempt, Aftermath, flopped too. Looks like audiences aren't ready for single-titled dramas with a bearded Arnie on the poster.
4. Bruce Willis - The Sixth Sense (1999)
Probably best known for Die Hard, Willis has headlined numerous action flicks, from films you've seen (RED) to ones you probably haven't (Marauders). But he's woven several interesting dramatic performances into a varied CV too, with standouts including 12 Monkeys, Pulp Fiction and Unbreakable.
But it's his turn in The Sixth Sense that's really impressive. Heavy with a subtle sadness that gives cinema's most talked-about twist HE'S A GHOST YOU GUYS added impact.
5. Channing Tatum - Foxcatcher (2014)
Whether it's in straight-up action flicks like GI Joe and White House Down, or action-comedies like 21 Jump Street, Channing Tatum has been known to occasionally run around waving a gun over the course of his career (when he's not dancing).
Despite his jock-esque looks potentially typecasting him, Tatum has managed to turn his strength into a, um, strength, in body-based dramas such as Magic Mike and our favourite, Foxcatcher.
Foxcatcher features a startling central turn from Tatum as Mark Schultz, the 1984 Olympic gold medalist with hopes to compete again in '88, who gradually brings the character's vulnerability to the surface in a smart, patient performance.
6. Sonny Chiba - Kill Bill Vol 1 (2003)
We would have gone for Battles Without Honor and Humanity: Deadly Fight in Hiroshima (which is AMAZING) but most people are more likely to have seen Kill Bill Vol 1, so let's talk about that instead.
Chiba first became a household name in the west after his Street Fighter series was referenced in Tarantino's True Romance script, so we were glad when Tarantino cast him in Kill Bill, and were even more happy when he turned in such a powerful performance as sword maker Hattori Hanzo.
He's both delightfully playful (when we first meet him), and moving when the plot requires him to turn serious (when The Bride reveals she knows who he is). Memorable stuff, and if Tarantino wants to make a Hanzo spin-off movie, we're ready to start queuing now.
7. Pam Grier - Jackie Brown (1997)
Pam Grier first found fame in '70s blaxploitation action flicks such as Coffy and Foxy Brown. But she got a late renaissance following her stunning performance as the title character in Tarantino's brilliant Jackie Brown, which was underrated on release, but increasingly feels like Tarantino's greatest film.
It's a layered, world-weary turn, brilliantly delivered – how Grier wasn't even nominated for an Oscar will forever baffle us.
8. Jackie Chan - Shinjuku Incident (2009)
In the Japanese underworld, a simple Chinese immigrant takes on gangsters while in search of his girlfriend. According to Variety, "[it] defiantly establishes a new dramatic frontier for Chan".
Following an epic career playing variously supertough action gods and supertough action-comedy clowns, Chan dialled it down impressively to address issues of racism and social injustice.
9. Danny Trejo - Sherrybaby (2006)
He's a real-life ex-con (armed robbery and drugs offences) with a face that could freeze a waterfall. He is not shy about playing badasses for anyone who offers him petrol money and a free lunch (his words, not ours). But the guy can act, too. In Laurie Collyer's Sherrybaby, he plays a reformed addict who helps Maggie Gyllenhaal's ex-junkie. Given that Trejo has himself been a narcotics counsellor, he clearly brought his own experience to bear in his surprisingly kind, gentle performance.

Omni-Lite earns $1-million (U.S.) in 2006
Omni-Lite Industries Canada Inc.
May 1, 2007
For the year ended Dec. 31, 2006, Omni-Lite Industries Canada Inc.'s revenue increased 15 per cent over fiscal 2005. This is the first year that the company has exceeded $5-million in revenue. These results are largely the effect of growth experienced in the aerospace, military and specialty automotive divisions. All financial amounts are reported in United States dollars, unless otherwise indicated.
"In 2006, Omni-Lite focused on several difficult projects that increased expenses significantly. These projects only began to add to revenue in first quarter of 2007. In addition, in 2006, the company had to consolidate the financial results of California Nanotechnologies Inc., a partially owned California corporation set up to conduct research into the commercialization of nanocrystalline materials," stated David F. Grant, chairman and chief executive officer. "The implementation of our vision 2010 plan has led to a significant increase in production capabilities, tooling support infrastructure, quality control systems and world-class laboratory facilities. This progress is evident in the increase in the number of components manufactured in first quarter 2007. In first quarter 2007, approximately 16.9 million components were manufactured versus 6.8 million components manufactured in first quarter of 2006. On a quarter-to-quarter basis, the production in the company increased by 2.5 times. These results were evident in the 61-per-cent increase in revenue in first quarter of 2007."
Revenue in the fiscal 2006 period was $5,007,061 ($5,840,236 (Canadian)). Cash flow over the same period was $1,490,916 ($1,739,004 (Canadian)) down 24 per cent for the year. Net income was $1,001,312 ($1,167,930 (Canadian)), a decrease of 20 per cent for the year. Gross margins for the year were 65 per cent and net margins were 20 per cent.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS (in U.S. dollars) Year ended Year ended Dec. 31, Dec. 31, 2006 2005 Total revenue $5,007,061 $4,360,046 Cash flow from operations (1) $1,490,916 $1,961,678 Net income $1,001,312 $1,249,416 Earnings per share ($U.S.) $ 0.094 $ 0.127 Earnings per share ($Cdn.) $ 0.110 $ 0.148 Note: at Dec. 31, 2006, $1 (U.S.) equalled $1.1664 (Canadian); Dec. 31, 2005, $1 (U.S.) equalled $1.1660 (Canadian))
(1) Cash flow from operations is a non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) term requested by the oil and gas investment community that represents net earnings adjusted for non-cash items including depreciation, depletion and amortization, future income taxes, asset writedowns and gains (losses) on sale of assets, if any.
Earnings per share were 9.4 cents (11 Canadian cents) compared with 12.7 cents (14.8 Canadian cents) in 2005, based on the weighted average shares outstanding of 10,693,164, compared with 9,854,497 in 2005. Due to the exercise of warrants and stock options in 2006 the weighted average number of shares increased by approximately 9 per cent. In 2006, Omni-Lite repurchased 339,000 (2004 -- 150,000) common shares through the normal course issuer bid. In 2006, a total of $370,260 (U.S.) was paid out as a semi-annual dividend to the shareholders. This represented a total dividend of four Canadian cents per share for shareholders on the published record dates. The company has continued to diversify its revenue stream. The aerospace division now accounts for 31 per cent of revenue. The military division represented 26 per cent of sales. The sports and recreation division reported 23 per cent of revenue and the automotive division reported 18 per cent. Commercial activities accounted for 2 per cent of revenue.

In this 2013 collection of essays, edited by NYU media historian Lisa Gitelman, contributors discuss the cultural history of the concept of data, and elaborate on its past and possible future impacts in fields from science to finance. One essay probes the disagreements that arise in attempting to "reduce" various social scientific variables to data, and another details the prehistory of modern databases in the form of index card systems.

|A mid-sized pharmaceutical company with a large contracting organization not confident that its activities were bearing fruit.
|Company Objectives
|The client was concerned that their approaches to contracting with payers might not be correct, in terms of gaining the most value from contracting and assuring that the contracts were aligned with the goals and strategies of each product.
|Project Description
|MME first evaluated each of the contracts for the client's lead products, comparing contract terms and costs with the outcomes achieved. We discovered that most of the contracts were not performing in terms of achieving their desired goals. Moreover, there was ample evidence to show that the contracts themselves were in conflict with the product strategy, as outlined by the brand team. Rather than growing the market, which was the stated goal of the brand team – the contracts were actually restricting the market, but delivering high share. The result was that competitors, feeling squeezed out of the market, were beginning to offer deep discounts to payers and coupons to patients. These actions would reduce the value of the market greatly.
|Project Outcome
|Working with the brand and contracting teams, MME developed a new set of contracting principles and guidelines which helped the brand team to achieve its goals of market growth and avert a potential disaster by ensuring competitors would not retaliate in a way that hurt the overall market.

Innovating new models to both generate and provide access to clean energy that will foster economic development.
Cars today can drive 300 miles with no gasoline, yet in rural Asia and Africa children are choking from kerosene lamps, women risk danger walking unlit roads, and families are trapped in poverty all because they don't have access to electricity. But as we see more families and businesses using solar panels and neighborhood micro-grids, we believe it's possible to bring electricity to the 1.2 billion people who live without it. Just as we created a market for investments that make impact, not just money, we must create a new market for bringing energy to the developing world – extending a key ladder to opportunity for hundreds of millions living in poverty.
Building off the global momentum to bring sustainable energy to all, The Rockefeller Foundation is working with governments, the private sector, technologists, and other advocates to catalyze an energy transformation by accelerating electrification in environmentally and economically sustainable ways. Through our Smart Power for Rural Development initiative, our aim is to spark long-term economic growth and power opportunities for those left behind in the modern economy— empowering and bringing dignity to the lives of millions.
Our Current Initiatives
Smart Power for Rural Development
More than one billion people across the globe are locked out of the modern economy because they lack sufficient access to electricity to power their homes, communities, and businesses. If we provide access to reliable electricity, we can power social and economic development and transform lives.
2 billion people are still living without access to reliable, affordable electricity, and nearly half of them do not have access to electricity at all. Together with UMass Amherst, Columbia University, Carnegie Mellon University and Colorado School of Mines, we are committed to building the data tools of the future that can help end energy poverty today.
Global Commission to End Energy Poverty
The GCEEP is comprised of heads of development banks, utilities, and off-grid firms, along with senior academics, industry leaders and investors. Throughout the course of the year ahead the Commission intends to forge a robust, actionable consensus that lays out viable pathways for providing electricity services to hundreds of millions of under-served homes and business more quickly and more cost-effectively than the current trajectory.

"I like to have my book shelf organized from the largest to the smallest book. I must have OCD – LOOOOOOOOOOL"
"OCD has nothing to do with mental health. Besides everyone has a bit OCD because in the end, we all need a routine in life".
Hearing statement likes, and unfortunately I do too often, makes my heart sink.
It's pretty clear that OCD is still seen as a joke and highly misunderstood.
I have suffered OCD from a young age.
My room was always clean, but quite unorganized.
My dad joked once about how my alarm clock wasn't positioned in a straight line.
I started paying attention to it and I think that's when it started.
From that moment on, EVERYTHING has to positioned parallel to each other or a neat line.
I started cleaning the house thoroughly on Saturdays, which, initially, made my mum very happy.
But I didn't take too long for her to notice that something in the way I was cleaning seemed obsessive.
I would freak out if I'd find out the later that someone had changed something.
It were no longer the Saturdays that I was cleaning.
It could easily happen that I would feel the urge in the middle of the night.
After a visit at the dentist, I was advised to brush my teeth more often or better.
That marks the years that I brushed my teeth 20 times a day.
My gums were bleeding.
A boy in my class was teased a bit because he wet his pants during school.
This couldn't happen to me, ever.
I started going to the toilet even if there was no urge.
The nights were the worst as I was scared going down the stairs at in the dark.
Mum and dad got very little sleep as they had to guide me.
I started counting things, but some specific numbers would mean bad luck.
I had to be really careful.
I was raised quite religiously and started blaming God for shaping me this way.
Immediately after I would feel guilty and need to do a number of rituals to prove that I didn't mean it.
I always thought that acting, chess and the dance school I was in marked my youth.
But writing this post and thinking back to those moments, I realize that my OCD has taken most of my time.
And yes, I am tearing up.
I've spend a large amount of my youth with psychologist, but nobody ever detected my OCD until I brought it up myself after reading an article in the newspaper.
From that moment on, a label was put on me which I was never going to be able to remove.
Living with OCD is not easy, but certain steps have made it more bearable for me.
The first big improvement was when I moved out of my parent's house.
My OCD became a large part of their lives too.
Living on my own gave me the freedom to create my own rules without others getting into my way.
Or I in theirs.
Changing of scenery also helped.
I would always make sure I saved enough money for travels a couple of times a year.
Not only being on a vacation spot, but also the looking forward to it has made is easier for me.
Informing your partner about it.
If you think you can keep it a secret from someone you life with, you can't.
And you shouldn't do that to yourself either.
It helped me a lot telling Jasper about it.
We celebrate the baby steps together and look for continuous improvements.
Keep busy
Watch your favorite childhood cartoon. Draw. Write. Read. Listen to your guilty pleasure songs. Hug someone.
Do whatever makes you focus on something else for a while.
The long commute to work and back home are becoming very annoying, but it makes me very sleepy. By 8:00 in the evening I'm already struggling with keeping my eyes open.
Which means, there is less time to concentrate on my rituals.
Seeking for professional help might not be for everyone.
Unfortunately, for me it has never been successful.
People around me keep pushing in to that direction.
But I simply don't have the energy or mental state of mind to start up a heavy process like that.
I know I, or this post, might not make the difference towards more OCD awareness, but I hope people realize that OCD is NOT joke.
It is a huge obstacle for living your life in happiness.
And if anyone every feels the need to talk about, I'm very happy to do so.

Oral endoscope
The oral endoscope is a specially constructed camera lens that can be extended into the entrance cavity to display clear and magnified images on a computer or TV screen. With the help of the endoscope system, the dentist can better detect the lesions that occur on the soft and hard tissues. It also allows patients to intuitively and comprehensively understand the dental stains, plaque, calculus, and gingivitis on the surface of their teeth, which are usually not visible to the teeth and tooth defects.
There are three main points in the main functions of oral endoscopy:
First, the dentist sees it with the mouth mirror, the patient can't see it, the patient is fixed at a glance, and the dentist can easily communicate with the patient.
Second, the use of software storage function, the maximum extent of the patient's oral conditions, is conducive to long-term patient dental information, if accompanied by telephone return visits, it is more possible to retain long-term patients, the same three-dimensional medical endoscope The mirror is equipped with a key capture function, which can instantly capture the real picture of the T912 medical oral endoscope and display it clearly.
Third, the use of the software's annotation function, marking the patient's original image, can maximize the number of doctors and patients disputes.
Clinical significance
Physicians can further discover the patient's oral lesions with the aid of clear and intuitive images, and the various treatment measures taken in time: abnormal signs caused by diseases, such as redness and swelling of the oral mucosa, blisters, ulcers or spots. Need to check the crowd: the mouth has abnormal color, pain, ulceration, smell, etc.
Inappropriate crowd: no special instructions. Note before inspection: Do not eat spicy, heavy food.
Requirements for inspection: Meet the doctor's request.
Inspection process
Using the software's storage function to maximize the patient's oral condition, it is beneficial to have long-term patient dental information. If the telephone is used to return to the long-term patient, it is more possible to retain the long-term patient. With a button capture function, you can instantly take a picture and display it clearly.

Digitalization is changing the world – amount of the components in the network is growing exponentially. One of the unpleasant side effect is that hacking is also a growing business area. 90% of breaches had a financial or espionage motive. The sad stats on cyber security: 70% attack go unchecked.
Companies have invested in security enforcement and detection tools and business systems are migrated to highly secured cloud environments where the service providers are responsible for security enforcement and detection. However response to security incidents is not well covered and it cannot be fully the responsibility of the service provider as they do not have the business knowledge and thus cannot analyze whether confidential data is compromised or not.
To really grasp the case, lets use a simple metaphor, companies have invested in locks and alarm systems, but not in the process of managing the alarms. In case of breaking in to your house, you can always call the police, but in the digital world that rarely helps. Instead the company should organize by themselves efficient security incident response process to ensure the "housebreaker" doesn't have enough time to steal or destroy business critical information.
Controlling your home base, securing & remediation
Base 1. Define Your Process
Same as in Itil, for security incident response there is a de-facto best practice process provided by NIST. With the following steps: Draft, Analysis, Contain, Eradicate, Recover, Review and Closure. Ensure that the process inputs, activities and outputs have been aligned for your organization with clear responsibilities to ensure ensure efficiency of the process. Service Management tools provide a great platform for defining workflows that ensure process compliance, provide transparency and automation capabilities (i.e. business criticality assessments and automated remediations).
Base 2. Know Your Environment.
It makes a huge difference whether someone is entering your yard, living room or safety deposit. To ensure the security incidents are dealt correctly and prioritized by business impact it is important to ensure your business services are well documented with relations to other components, to ensure you can analyze the impact from the affected component towards the application services that describe whether or not they contain confidential information.
Base 3. Proactively manage vulnerabilities and threats
Rather than having to look several excel sheets from different vulnerability and threat sources (i.e. Firewalls/IPS/IDS/TAXII), it is recommended to combine vulnerabilities (i.e. door without a lock) and threats (i.e. burglar breaking via front door) into a holistic view. Utilizing service management platforms enables prioritizing vulnerable assets based on the business impact and it leads to efficiency in both IT and security team as end-to-end processes can be managed where security identifies items and IT patches them via change management.
Home Run. Automation
Protection and detection systems are in use in all companies, but how many companies remedy immediately when vulnerability or attack is identified? Average fix time after security incident is more than 200 days without automation.
Automation can be orchestrated on two levels – with structured workflow and system management capabilities. Example of automation of structured workflow is defining if a data breach has happened and in case of a data breach creating and assigning relevant tasks automatically (such as "Notify Law Enforcement", "Create PR response", "Removing malware" etc.). System management capabilities can be utilized for example to automatically launching patching to resolve a vulnerability related to a specific asset (e.g. database server hosting confidential data).
As a summary we can identify that there is a lot that many companies can do to improve Security Operations and also it is important to notice that IT Service Management practices and tools can help in the process. We recommend to improve the security operations processes iteratively and start from the first base.

Whether you're the bride or a part of the bride tribe, the months and weeks leading up to the big day can be stressful, but if you and the girls are ready with all the must have items, you'll be one step ahead of any wedding day mishaps.
We all know what we need to remember – the dresses, the shoes, the jewellery…but it's the little things that will make a big impact when they're needed. We've put together a list of the most essential supplies to put in your wedding day kit.
Wedding days are a lot of work, you'll all be running around from morning to night, so don't forget to keep your tummies full with high protein snacks. Bridesmaids, a personal touch would be to pack some of your bride's favourite snacks and surprise her when she gets a bit 'hangry'.
Pocket Tissues
You can never have too many mini packs of tissues, and they can be used for tears, of course, but also for correcting make up.
Hair Ties
When it's time to step out on the dance floor and let loose all the day's stresses, it's also time to let loose the locks, but sweating it out will mean wanting to tie your hair back when you take a break.
Today's Newspaper
Surprise the bride with the day's newspaper and suggest incorporating it into the photo shoot, seeing as it will have the date of the wedding and will leave a lasting memory with a uniquely propped photo.
Starlettos Heel Protectors
The bride and her bride tribe will last all day with Starlettos heel protectors, and be able to walk around on all terrain. The soon to released Gellies gel inserts will act as a cushion and also alleviate any aches from the day's walking.
Pain killers
There's nothing worse than getting a throbbing headache on the big day, especially when no one can afford to be cranky!
White Chalk
Odd? Yes. Essential? Yes! It's great for covering up smudges on the bride's dress, of which there will be many – who knew?
Phone Chargers
A long day ahead means making sure your mobile is topped up, so ensure your charger is in your kit – with all the photos you plan to snap, it's definitely an essential.
Bridal Party Contacts
Keep everyone's phone numbers handy just in case someone gets lost, you have a question to ask, or need to get to them urgently.
In today's modern world, cash is rarely used so be sure to have some spare change available for things like vending machines, and those quick trips to the shop for one item but you find yourself being told there's a minimum $10 spend to use eftpos.
Handful Of Straws
Straws?! Well, you don't want any of the girls to get their lipstick smooched off on a cup or bottle, do you?
Earring Backs
Now here's one that a lot of brides and the bride tribe wouldn't think about. Don't leave everyone on their hands and knees looking for the back of an earring, when you've got a couple spares handy!
Sure, this comes under the 'snacks' category, but a couple bite sized pieces of delicious chocolate might be all that someone needs to stave off the 'hangry'.
When you have all these essentials in your wedding day kit, for the bride and the bride tribe, you'll be prepared for anything thrown your way.

Americans watched in horror last night when two bombs exploding near the finish line of the annual Boston Marathon killed three people and injured at least 144 others.
As the country puts on a display of solidarity and strength, K-pop stars including Jay Park, f(x)'s Amber and 2PM's Taecyeon have joined those offering support and prayer during this difficult time.
"#prayforboston stay strong, stay strong," Amber tweeted. "The world is a dark place, lets [sic] be the light #prayforboston."
Aziatix posted a group message after the tragic news: "Our prayers go out to Boston and everyone affected by this tragedy #prayforboston RIP. Please take every precaution possible."
2PM member Taecyeon, who grew up in Boston, said he was "praying for boston". Nichkhun added: "Boston. We are all praying for you."
Korean-American singer Eric Nam posted: "My condolences and heart go out to everyone in Boston. Praying for you all." Epik High's Tablo offered a similar message of support: "a prayer for everyone affected by the boston attack."
SM Entertainment, who represent the likes of SHINee and Girl's Generation, send their message out via Facebook, writing: "Our thoughts and prayers are with those affected by today's tragedy at the #BostonMarathon."
Other celebrities who tweeted their support included G-Dragon, Brian Joo, Yoon Mi Rae, miss A's Jia, Lydia Paek, EvoL's Say and Hayana.
The American Red Cross asks people – particularly those in Boston – to visit the Safe and Well website to let loved ones know they are safe.

With everyone talking about how to reach higher, fulfill your dreams, live your best life, etc., taking a less-than-perfect job can feel like giving up. But if you've been out of work for a while and the bills are piling up, you may have to.
Is this such a bad thing?
Sometimes, the job you have to get is the one that surprises you. For instance, a few years back when business was slow I got a job working the front desk at the local JCC every Sunday and Wednesday to supplement my income. I didn't make much more than minimum wage, and the job wasn't exactly challenging (swipe customer card, greet customer with a smile, hand them a towel, repeat), but I had a blast. I met lots of interesting people, moved around a lot, and enjoyed a free gym membership as well as tickets to events.
My walk to and from work gave me time to think. The job was never stressful. I left feeling refreshed and ready to challenge myself in other ways. Did I break any records? No. Did I add valuable skills to my experience? Not really. But I had fun, and had that extra $300 per month which made me feel safe enough to take more risks in my business and happily put energy into what I love to do, without guilt or worry.
There's a ton of pressure, particularly in the Bay Area and other urban centers, to snag a high-profile (or at least high-tech) position where you work long hours and make a six-figure salary. There is very little focus on quality of life and too much on the quality of your resume. Yes, as a resume writer, I just said that.
Someone very wise once told me that if you don't like the culture you live in, make your own. Our culture defines us by how much money we make and what we do to make it. Create your own culture where you aren't defined by your work, but instead are defined by the way you treat others, what you give to the community, your passions, and your willingness to learn. The money, in time, will follow. And you may wind up on an adventure you never could have dreamed up if you had stuck to your original path.
The road to success isn't a straight line. And the detours are often more fun and eye-opening than you might think. Love pizza? Go ahead, take that job at the local pizzeria. Do you like fashion? Apply for a sales position at a department store. If these aren't aligned with your most lofty career goals, that's okay – give yourself permission to take a break and re-focus while learning some new skills. Your new job might not have bells and whistles, but it might just change your life.


text: I think I have said this before, but I will say it again! My favorite part of doing photography is seeing a family grow and getting the opportunity to capture different stages of their life together. I had so much fun last year with Tim and Becky as the were waiting for baby, and now baby girl is here! Britta made her appearance in May. Isn't she beautiful? This is such a wonderful family, I love spending a few hours catching up with them as we walked around the Lily Pond at Lincoln Park Zoo.

Disclaimer: This blog post was written by Joe our last day in Uganda, but the delay in posting was due to travels!
Today is our final day here in Uganda.
The wells were completed and fresh water flowed. Both communities had ceremonies with local, tribal, and government officials present.
Now my thoughts are slowing turning to the life I left behind for two weeks. Here in Uganda, the pace of life is much slower, everything runs on Africa Time meaning, nothing is urgent. I now see where CP TIME (Colored People Time) originally started from. LOL….
Here in Uganda, you hear birds chirping, you see wild animals walking across your hotel lawn, knowing that you are there but aren't afraid of you… At night, you can see the stars light up the Uganda night….. it's absolutely beautiful.
Also, here in Uganda, there's a silence that's so deafening at times. For a few days, I couldn't go to sleep because it was simply too quiet. I'm use to hearing police and ambulatory sirens, gun shots, people having loud disagreements, cars on the road, trucks back firing and dogs barking, loud music blaring from someone's vehicle, and very loud neighbors. Ah! There's nothing like city living. LOL…..
The flight home from Dubai was delayed about twenty minutes due to wrong luggage being placed on our flight home. But its all good, after our 13 hour flight home we landed safely at Dulles right on schedule.
We went through customs, picked up our luggage and headed towards the exit for our ride home.
We hugged everyone and said our goodbyes… But you could tell within our team that thoughts about our everyday life here in america were slowly creeping back into our thoughts.
Uganda we miss you……

So normally when I need a new pair of socks or underoos I just mention it to the wifey and she takes care of that sort of thing for me. But recently we stopped at Target to get the boys some new clothes and I told myself, "Self, why don't you just mosey on over to the unmentionables section and pick up some new unmentionables so your pretty bride doesn't have to do it for you?"
So I did. I mosey'd on over to the unmentionables section for guys….or so I thought…. Read More

Hidalgo County, Texas is on the southern border of our great country, just this side of the Rio Grande from Reynosa, Mexico. Hidalgo County has roughly 806,000 residents and 47% of the children in Hidalgo County live in poverty. The poverty that exists in Hidalgo County is real. It's not the "I'm poor, but I drive an Escalade to pick up my Blue Santa Christmas presents" kind of poor. It's the "I live ten miles down a dirt road, in a house with cardboard walls and have no electricity or running water" kind of poor. It's conditions that you'd expect to see on the other side of the river.
Surprisingly though, 44% of the children in Hidalgo County suffer from childhood obesity. When I first heard that statistic I imagined skinny, emaciated kids living in boxes in the south Texas brush while chubby little rich kids played video games all day in town. But that's not the case. Read More

LIKE A 9 YEAR OLD!!!!!! Oh yeah!!!
Last night we celebrated KickTheBall's ninth year of survival. And by all measures he's not only surviving, but thriving; Which is a good thing for those of us entrusted with ensuring his survival and thrivation. Go me, right?
Birthdays can be a weird thing (just like how the doors on a DeLorean open).

Today I helped KickTheBall build a bird house. Pretty simple, huh? I mean, I've built entire houses from rough sketches on a sheet of graph paper. People houses. That people lived in. And they were awesome. So I assumed that I could take my boy out to the garage and throw a bird house together. Wrong. Read More

Bottle cork lion
Bottle corks
Franz Anton Bustelli was a brilliant sculptor. He was also a master of observation. The facial expressions of his figures are so accurate, modern, and timeless that Nymphenburg selected some of his character heads to turn into bottles corks. A cavalier, a pretty girl, and the harlequin provide an illustrious accompaniment to a good bottle of wine. So let's raise our glasses to the superb sculptor, who still shapes the spirit of the porcelain manufactory today as he did 250 years ago.

The Colorado Department of Human Services is an organization that brings together a number of different programs to make them accessible to the general public of Colorado. These programs are helpful when it comes to creating a healthy and sustainable life for an individual or a family. There are a number of agencies that are affiliated with the Colorado Department of Human Services; each one of them provides special assistance for those who require it. You can also contact Colorado lawyers for legal advice and assistance.
Two of the largest concerns that are addressed by the Colorado Department of Human Services are how to apply for various programs and how to report specific issues. In terms of applying for various programs, individuals or families that require assistance can find information on how to apply for food assistance, housing assistance, and health care programs such as those regarding disabilities, or those for individuals who need long-term health care. These are all very important when it comes to keeping families on their feet and functioning through difficult circumstances of either a temporary or permanent nature.
The Colorado Department of Human Services also has resources for individuals who want to report serious health issues, such as instances of abuse or endangerment. They also have links to help individuals who want to report issues of fraud as well. The Department of Human Services is a variable resource of information that can help individuals acquire assistance or can help them to report wrong-doing in order to help themselves and others who might have fallen victim to these issues. This makes the Colorado Department of Human Services one of the most important organizations found in Colorado regarding welfare.
