title: ISO/IEC 27040

text:
ISO/IEC 27040 is part of a growing family of International Standards published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) in the area of security techniques; the standard is being developed by Subcommitee 27 (SC27) - IT Security techniques of the first Joint Technical Committee 1 (JTC 1) of the ISO/IEC. A major element of SC27's program of work includes International Standards for information security management systems (ISMS), often referred to as the 'ISO/IEC 27000-series'.

The full title of ISO/IEC 27040 is Information technology — Security techniques — Storage security (ISO/IEC 27040:2015)

Overview and introduction
The purpose of ISO/IEC 27040 is to provide security guidance for storage systems and ecosystems as well as for protection of data in these systems. It supports the general concepts specified in ISO/IEC 27001.

This International Standard is relevant to managers and staff concerned with information security risk management within an organization and, where appropriate, external parties supporting such activities.
The objectives for this International Standard are to:

 publicizing the risks,
 assist organizations in better securing their data,
 provide a basis for designing and auditing storage security controls.

ISO/IEC 27040 provides specific, detailed implementation guidance relevant to storage security for the general security controls described in ISO/IEC 27002.

This International Standard is not a reference or normative document for regulatory and legislative security requirements as they vary by country.

History
Work commenced on ISO/IEC 27040 in the fall of 2010, following the SC27 meeting in Redmond, WA. The project was placed on the extended timeline, allowing up to 48 months to develop the standard rather than the normal 36 months. The ISO/IEC 27040 standard was published on January 5, 2015.

Throughout the development of ISO/IEC 27040, organizations such as the Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA) with its Storage Security Best Current Practices (BCPs), the Trusted Computing Group's (TCG) Storage Working Group with its work on self-encrypting drives, and INCITS' storage-oriented Technical Committees (T10, T11, and T13) provided important comments and contributions.

Eric Hibbard served as the ISO Editor throughout the development of ISO/IEC 27040.

Structure of the standard

27040:2015 has seven short clauses and three annexes, which cover:

1. Scope of the standard
2. A list of other standards that are indispensable to understanding and using ISO/IEC 27040
3. Terminology that is either imported from other standards or defined in this standard
4. A list of used abbreviations and acronyms used in the standard
5. An overview of key storage and storage security concepts as well as information on the associated risks
6. Describes the controls that support storage security technical architectures, including Direct Attached Storage (DAS), storage networking, storage management, block-based storage, file-based storage, object-based storage, and security services.
7. Provides guidelines for the design and implementation of storage security (e.g., design principles; data reliability, availability, and resilience; data retention; data confidentiality and integrity; visualization; and design and implementation considerations)
Annex A. Media-specific guidance for sanitization, including cryptographic erase (parallels NIST SP 800-88r1)
Annex B. Tables for selecting appropriate security controls based on data sensitivity or security priorities (confidentiality, integrity, or availability)
Annex C. Descriptions of important security and storage concepts (mini-tutorials)
Bibliography. A list of standards and specifications that had an influence on materials in ISO/IEC 27040

It is worth noting that the bibliography is one of the more comprehensive lists of references on storage security.

Supporting controls for storage security
A major element of the ISO/IEC 27040 standard is focused on the identification of security controls for different types of storage systems and architectures, including the following:

 Recommendations to help secure Direct Attached Storage (DAS)
 Broad coverage of security for storage networking technologies and topologies with an emphasis on Storage Area Networks or SAN (e.g., Fibre Channel, iSCSI, FCoE, etc.) and Network Attached Storage or NAS (e.g., NFS and SMB/CIFS)
 Identifying important security issues and guidance for storage management
 Security for block-based storage systems with Fibre Channel and IP interfaces (above and beyond the storage networking materials)
 Security for file-based storage systems with NFS, SMB/CIFS, and pNFS interfaces (above and beyond the storage networking materials)
 Security for cloud storage, object-based storage (OSD) and Content Addressable Storage (CAS)
 Recommendations for storage security services (sanitization, data confidentiality, and data reductions)

Design and implementation guidance for storage security
Despite the increased power of personal computers and departmental workstations, there continues to be a dependency on centralized data centers due to needs for data integration, data consistency, and data quality. With the enormous growth of critical data volumes, many organizations have adopted storage-centric architectures for their ICT infrastructure. Consequently, storage security plays an important role in securing this data, and in many instances, it serves as the last line of defense from both internal and external adversaries.

The design of storage security solutions is guided by core security principles while considering data sensitivity, criticality and value.  Section 6 of the standard (Supporting Controls) provides guidance on applying storage-relevant controls in implementing the designed solution. The materials in this section are further divided into:

 Storage security design principles (Defense in depth, Security domains, Design resilience, and Secure initialization)
 Data reliability, availability, and resilience (including Backups and replication as well as Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity)
 Data retention (Long-term and Short to medium-term retention)
 Data confidentiality and integrity
 Virtualization	(Storage virtualization	and Storage for virtualized systems)
 Design and implementation considerations (Encryption and key management issues, Align storage and policy, Compliance, Secure multi-tenancy, Secure autonomous data movement)

Media sanitization

"Sanitization" is the technical term for assuring that data left on storage at the end of its useful life is rendered inaccessible to a given level of effort.  Or to put it another way, sanitization is the process that assures an organization doesn't commit a data breach by repurposing, selling, or discarding storage devices.

Sanitization can take many forms depending on both the sensitivity of the information and the level of effort a likely adversary would invest in attempting to recover the information.  Methods used in sanitization range from simple overwrites to destruction of the cryptographic keys for encrypted data (the technique is known as cryptographic erasure) to physical destruction of the storage media.  This standard provides guidance to help organizations select the proper sanitization methods for their data.

The specific details on sanitization are provided in a series of tables in Annex A, which were based on NIST Special Publication 800-88 Revision 1. The tables were designed so that vendors can make specific references to them, based on the type of media, instead of using obsolete sources such as DoD 5220.22-M (from 1995).

Selecting appropriate storage security controls
The developers of ISO/IEC 27040 did not intend that all of the guidance had to be implemented (i.e., all or nothing). Consequently, Annex B was created to help organizations select the appropriate controls based on either data sensitivity (high or low) or security priorities, based on confidentiality, integrity and availability. To support this selection, all of the storage security controls in ISO/IEC 27040 are listed in 13 different tables along with information that shows how each control is relevant from both data sensitivity and security prioritization perspectives.

It is worth noting that although Annex B is informative, it is very likely that auditors will use it as a basis for checklists when reviewing the security of storage systems and ecosystems.

Important security concepts

One of the challenges in developing ISO/IEC 27040 was that there were two distinct target audiences:  1) storage professionals and 2) security professionals. To help both communities, Annex C was populated with useful tutorial information for the following:

 Authentication
 Authorization and access control
 Self-encrypting drives (SED)
 Sanitization
 Logging
 N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV)
 Fibre Channel Security
 OASIS Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP)

title: Metarbelidae

text:
The Metarbelidae are a family of the Cossoidea also called the carpenter or goat moths, and is sometimes treated as a subfamily, Metarbelinae of the Cossidae. No synapomorphies are shared with the Cossidae based on adult morphology. The family Metarbelidae was first described by Embrik Strand in 1909.

Distribution
The family Metarbelidae is most diverse on the African mainland (occurs only south of the Sahara). The family is absent in the New World, Europe, northern Asia, Australia and have a very scattered occurrence on Madagascar and in the Oriental Region through the southwestern and southern Arabian Peninsula.

title: Defence Force Merit Decoration

text:
The Defence Force Merit Decoration was instituted by the State President of the Republic of Bophuthatswana in 1982, for award to officers for distinguished service of high quality and utmost devotion to duty.

The Bophuthatswana Defence Force
The Bophuthatswana Defence Force (BDF) was established upon that country's independence on 6 December 1977. The Republic of Bophuthatswana ceased to exist on 27 April 1994 and the Bophuthatswana Defence Force was amalgamated with six other military forces into the South African National Defence Force (SANDF).

Institution
The Defence Force Merit Decoration was instituted by the State President of Bophuthatswana in 1982. It is the senior award of a set of three decorations for merit, along with the Defence Force Merit Medal and the Defence Force Commendation Medal.

Bophuthatswana's military decorations and medals were modeled on those of the Republic of South Africa and these three decorations are the approximate equivalents of, respectively, the Southern Cross Decoration and Pro Merito Decoration, the Southern Cross Medal (1975) and Pro Merito Medal (1975), and the Military Merit Medal.

Award criteria
The decoration could be awarded to officers for distinguished service of high quality and utmost devotion to duty.

Order of wear

Since the Defence Force Merit Decoration was authorised for wear by one of the statutory forces which came to be part of the South African National Defence Force on 27 April 1994, it was accorded a position in the official South African order of precedence on that date. The position of the Defence Force Merit Decoration in the official order of precedence was revised twice after 1994, to accommodate the inclusion or institution of new decorations and medals, first in April 1996 when decorations and medals were belatedly instituted for the two former non-statutory forces, the Azanian People's Liberation Army and Umkhonto we Sizwe, and again upon the institution of a new set of honours on 27 April 2003.

Bophuthatswana Defence Force until 26 April 1994

Official BDF order of precedence:
 Preceded by the Distinguished Gallantry Cross.
 Succeeded by the Distinguished Gallantry Medal.
Bophuthatswana official national order of precedence:
 Preceded by the Police Cross for Bravery (RYGT).
 Succeeded by the Decoration for Merit in the Prisons Service.

South African National Defence Force from 27 April 1994

Official SANDF order of precedence:
 Preceded by the Pro Merito Decoration (PMD) of the Republic of South Africa.
 Succeeded by the Distinguished Service Medal, Gold of the Republic of Venda.
Official national order of precedence:
 Preceded by the civilian version of the Sandile Decoration (SD) of the Republic of Ciskei.
 Succeeded by the Decoration for Merit in the Prisons Service of the Republic of Bophuthatswana.

South African National Defence Force from April 1996

Official SANDF order of precedence:
 Preceded by the Star for Conspicuous Leadership (SCL) of the Azanian People's Liberation Army.
 Succeeded by the Distinguished Service Medal, Gold of the Republic of Venda.
Official national order of precedence:
 Preceded by the civilian version of the Sandile Decoration (SD) of the Republic of Ciskei.
 Succeeded by the Decoration for Merit in the Prisons Service of the Republic of Bophuthatswana.

The position of the Defence Force Merit Decoration in the order of precedence remained unchanged, as it was in April 1996, when a new series of military orders, decorations and medals was instituted in South Africa on 27 April 2003.

Description
Obverse
The Defence Force Merit Decoration is an inverted five-pointed star, struck in silver, to fit inside a circle 38 millimetres in diameter, with three rays between each pair of star points and with a silver leopard head on a light blue enameled roundel in the centre.

Reverse
The reverse displays the Coat of Arms of the Republic of Bophuthatswana.

Ribbon
The ribbon is 32 millimetres wide and cobalt blue.

Discontinuation
Conferment of the Defence Force Merit Decoration was discontinued when the Republic of Bophuthatswana ceased to exist on 27 April 1994.

Lines

Line 1

Its first phase opened on 27 August 2015. The 7 km route runs northwest from El Goli to Ostad Shahryar with four intermediate stations, including three in a tunnel excavated using TBMs. Services are operated with coupled pairs of five-car trainsets. There was free-of-charge services from 11:00 to 13:00 for 3 months starting from Saturday 29 August 2015. The first phase was 7 km long and had 6 stations from El Goli Station to Ostad Shahriar Station. The frequency of the services was every 20 min. The second phase opened in summer 2016 and extended to the west from Ostad Shahriar Station to Meydan-e Sa'at Station. The line finally completed in February 2020 with another western extension and now runs for 17.2 km from El Goli to Nur with 12 stations; 6 intermediate stations are to open yet.

Line 2

Line 2 which is currently under construction is approximately 22.4 km long, consisting of 20 stations starting from the quay lands (organic fertilizer plant), through Wahdat and Jaramalek Square (the first station) and passing under Akhouni Street, Qods Street, Amin Road, Maidan. Daneshwara goes into Abbasi Street and extends to Shahid Fahmideh Square.

Line 3

Line 3 is currently in the planning stage. It will have a mostly north–south route, running from Tabriz International Airport to South Terminal (next to Kasaei highway). Along the way it will connect major passenger nodes such as North Terminal, central park,  Bazaar District, Stadium military medical, Academia centers, and Yadgar-e-Emam Stadium.

Line 4 of Tabriz metro will encircle the old city centre and intersect with all the other 3 lines. Tramway, with a length of 15.4 km, including 18 stations, starts circularly from the Azarbaijan field and crosses the Tabriz Highway to the Pasdaran Highway after crossing the Jihad and Abrasan Square. This line connects the other three lines.

Tabriz-Sahand Commuter Line (Line 5)

Line 5 of Tabriz metro is planned as a light rail train that connects Tabriz to its satellite city, Sahand. Tabriz-Sahand: At station 1, line 1 will have a common station and continue across the tractor to Sahand.

Of all these routes, only a portion of Line 1 is currently operating between El Goli Station and Nur Station.

Also a tram line has been proposed to feed the metro.

title: Hastings Bridge

text:
The Hastings Bridge is a free standing tied-arch bridge that spans the Mississippi River in Hastings, Minnesota, United States. It was designed by Parsons and was built in 2013 by Lunda Construction Company for $119,830,000. The Hastings Bridge replaces the former Hastings High Bridge, which was built in 1951 and demolished in 2013 when the replacement bridge was completed. The Hastings High Bridge had been scheduled to be torn down and replaced in 2019, but after the I-35W bridge collapse in Minneapolis, the MNDOT re-prioritized the replacement and construction of the new bridge started in 2010.

Following the August 1, 2007 collapse of the I-35W Mississippi River bridge, the Hastings High Bridge was inspected between August 20 and August 31, 2007. An executive summary of the inspection report was released on January 15, 2008, questioning whether the bridge was capable of sustaining its 40-ton posted capacity, and calling for a load analysis to be performed immediately. Because the existing bridge was obsolete and average daily traffic exceeded 30,000 vehicles, MNDOT accelerated the new bridge project to begin in 2010. Three design-build teams submitted proposals on June 30, 2010, and the contract was awarded to the joint venture Lunda/Ames.

In June 2013, two of the four lanes of the new bridge were open for traffic, and in November 2013 all four lanes opened. The new bridge cost $130 million and is the longest free-standing tied-arch bridge in North America, at a length of 545 feet. The main span is composed of arches, girders, beams, stringers, and roadway, offering four lanes of traffic plus twelve feet of mixed use pedestrian and bike path. The new bridge has an anti-icing system. Other features include: a public art mural on the south abutment wall, a scenic overlook incorporated near Levee Park, additional parking beneath the bridge, and lighting. The new bridge is expected to have a 100-year lifespan.

title: Anthony Friedkin

text:
Anthony Friedkin (born 1949) is an American photographer whose works have chronicled California's landscapes, cities and people. His topics include phenomena such as surf culture, prisons, cinema, and gay culture. Friedkin’s photographs have been exhibited in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the J. Paul Getty Museum. His photographs are included in major Museum collections: New York's Museum of Modern Art, The J. Paul Getty Museum and others. He is represented in numerous private collections as well. His pictures have been published in Japan, Russia, Europe, and many Fine Art magazines in America.

In 2014, The Gay Essay, which documents Californian gay culture during the late 1960s and early 1970s, was featured in San Francisco's deYoung Museum.

He has over forty years experience as a professional photographer. Anthony Friedkin has lived and worked out of his apartment studio in Santa Monica.

Early life and photojournalism

Friedkin was born in Los Angeles, California in 1949. At age 8, he started taking photographs, and by the age of 11, he was developing photos in a darkroom.

In 1968-99, he attended Santa Monica City College as a liberal arts major. During 1969-1970, he moved on to the Art Center College of Design with a concentration in photography. During 1971-1972, he attended the University of California, Los Angeles as a photography major. In 1971, he attended the Royal College of Art as a visiting student. In 1972, he attended an Aperion Workshop in Millerton, New York.

In 1975, he started working as a still photographer for the film industry. For a time, he worked as a photojournalist working as a stringer for Magnum Photos in Los Angeles. During his career he taught photography at both UCLA and California Institute of the Arts.

Accomplishments
He received a National Endowment of the Arts grant in 1977 and was given a special commendation by Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley for his contribution to Fine Art Photography in 1980.

Bodies of work
Together his completed photo essays are:  "The Gay Essay," done in San Francisco and Los Angeles in 1969 and 1970; "The Beverly Hills Essay," shot in 1975; "The Hollywood Series," which was inaugurated by a special commission in 1978 and continues to this day; and "The Ocean-Surfing Essay," which explores Friedkin’s intimate, intensely personal relationship with the sea and its magnificent waves. A historical set of photographs on "New York City Brothels," includes genuine studies of prostitutes in their work environment. A special set of pictures on "California Prisons"and their inmates, includes sensitive portraits of incarcerated teenagers. For most of his life he has been photographing  "Los Angeles," creating an unparalleled body of images, which comes from his love of the diversely visual and cultural town.Of all his major photographic series, only one documents life outside the Golden State (New York City Brothels).

The Hollywood Essay

In 1978, Friedkin began work on a series of photographs showing the behind-the-scenes realities of the cinema industry. These photographs challenge viewers to step back from the illusion of real life that Hollywood movies create, instead showing the artifice and business behind the illusion. In a 2014 interview, Friedkin indicated this work is still in progress.
In 1985, a subset of costume photography from the essay was displayed at the Nicola gallery in Los Angeles. In 1986, The Hollywood Essay was featured at the Min Gallery in Tokyo, Japan.

California Prisons: Incarceration: Images from Folsom Prison

In 2004, the work was displayed at the fine art gallery of Los Angeles Harbor College. California Prisons includes sensitive portrait shots of incarcerated teenagers, as well as the many typical representations of machismo and gang affiliated men.

Ocean View: The Depiction of Southern California Coastal Lifestyles

In a series of photographs titled Ocean View: The Depiction of Southern California Coastal Lifestyles, Friedkin examined the mythology of California that has enticed people, industries, and money to the state over the past century. Many of the photographs document surf culture, showing it in the wider context of the imagery of the California Dream.

He made the twenty black-and-white photographs of his Wave Portfolio between 1977 and 2006, printing them in his own darkroom in Santa Monica. They show waves at Zuma Beach, Venice Beach, Hermosa Beach, La Jolla, Carmel, and Santa Monica.

Friedkin is a lifelong surfer and self-styled “disciple of the sea.” In the Wave Portfolio he brings to his images a sense of both the power of the waves and their beauty as abstract forms. “Waves are like liquid sculpture,” he has written. “They move with dynamic force and ethereal beauty . . . I do believe the ocean, with its jewel like waves, is where we came from; and when I’m in the water, I feel like I’m connecting to something so mighty and so primordial it’s amazing. All the mysteries of life and death, light and darkness, space and time, are to be found there. By photographing the ocean waves I hope to reveal their secrets within.”

The Gay Essay

In 1969, when Friedkin was 19, he began to chronicle gay life in Los Angeles and San Francisco, hoping to increase its visibility and gain a better understanding of gay culture there. The photo essay was captured in the years of sexual revolution, around the time of the Stonewall riots. While taking the portraits in informal settings such as hotels and bars, he often developed close relationships with his subjects.
In 2014, Friedkin released The Gay Essay, a book containing 75 portraits from the series, published by Yale University Press. The publisher announced that the book is intended to be the first of several books containing photos from the series.

Friedkin began his work on the “Gay Essay,” when he was only nineteen years of age, and set out “to depict [the] struggles, humiliations, and [the] triumphs [of queer culture]". Friedkin’s goal was to document what it meant to defy the grain when it is wrong, that is to show the courage it takes to define one’s own freedom and individuality.

“The Gay Essay” was not shown in America for a long time due to the sensitivity of the images Friedkin produced and a less than receptive society whose mainstream was overwhelmingly homophobic, simply put, but was exhibited in Europe and East Asia and was received well.

From June 2014 to January 2015, San Francisco's DeYoung Museum exhibited the 75 prints to coincide with the 45th anniversary of the Stonewall riots. The exhibit also included materials from the artist's archive that convey the historical context of the work.

Ragnarok Online: Valkyrie Uprising was a free MMORPG developed by Gravity and published by NEOCYON for iOS and Android in 2013. The game's servers have been closed since 2018. In 2022, a sequel named Ragnarok V: Returns was released.

Plot
After a 100-year war with the Demons, the humans of Midgard forged a fragile truce with the scourge of the Underworld. Valkyrie Randgris threatened the human world using a powerful item stolen from the Underworld, the Cursed Stone. Monica, from the Celestial Land of Valhalla, defeated Randgris and was able to seal her away, never to be seen again. At the time of the game's setting, a mysterious woman broke the seal and disappeared. This releases the dark powers of Randgris and her Cursed Stone, and she is free to terrorize the human world once again.

title: Minerva Armored Car

text:
The Minerva Armoured Car (, ) was a military armoured car expediently developed from Minerva civilian automobiles by Belgium at the start of the First World War.

Background

At the beginning of the twentieth century, the first military armoured vehicles were manufactured by adding armour and weapons to existing vehicles. The first armoured car was the Simms' Motor War Car, designed by F.R. Simms in response to the Second Boer War and built by Vickers, Sons & Maxim in Britain

Another early armoured car of the period was the French Charron, Girardot et Voigt 1902, presented at the Salon de l'Automobile et du cycle in Brussels, on 8 March 1902. The vehicle was equipped with a Hotchkiss machine gun, and with 7 mm armour for the gunner although it, too, was only a prototype and never used in warfare.

History
The Minerva's use in combat in August 1914 made Belgium the first Nation to employ armoured cars in World War I, though Italy had previously been the first to use armoured cars in a theatre of conflict, in the 1911–1912 Italo-Turkish War. Also the armoured Canadian Automobile Machine Gun Brigade was formed on August 24, 1914 and close to being assembled by that September.

During the war those that could afford to rode into battle on their own horses, much like this (in 1914) Lieutenant Charles Henkart arranged for two of his civilian Minerva Motor Works tourers to be armoured at the Cockerill Works in Hoboken. The initial armoured cars were ad hoc but soon Minerva had created a standard design. American papers were reporting the use of the armoured car by September 1914. The crew was partially exposed to gunfire with the open top. This would prove fatal to Lieutenant Henkart when on September 6, 1914 he was killed by gunfire after the armoured car he was in was caught in a German ambush. Before the Minerva factory was captured during the German invasion and occupation of Belgium about thirty Minerva armored cars were built. In 1916 the design of the original armoured car was completely revised. The open top was now fully enclosed and the machine gun under an armoured cupola. The Belgian Army used the cars as motorised cavalry units with three-car platoons. The armoured car units were mostly used for reconnaissance, infantry fire support and missions behind enemy lines. After the Western Front became bogged down in trench warfare some of the cars were sent to the Eastern Front with the Belgian Expeditionary Corps in Russia.

Gallery

The Germans were able to capture three of the cars and modified them for use during the invasion of Romania with at least one being used during the 1919 troubles.

title: Politics of Telangana

text:
The Indian state of Telangana was founded in 2014. Its territory had formerly been part of Andhra Pradesh. The Telangana movement was instrumental in the creation of the new state, and Telangana Rashtra Samithi, a party which led the Telangana movement after 2001, forms the government in the Telangana Legislative Assembly under Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao.The political landscape of Telangana is primarily shaped by the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS), which has held power since the state's establishment in 2014. Founded in 2001 to champion the cause of a separate Telangana state, the TRS is a regional party led by the charismatic figure Kalvakuntla Chandrashekar Rao (KCR), who enjoys strong support among the people of Telangana.

In addition to the TRS, there are other noteworthy political entities in Telangana, namely the Indian National Congress (INC), the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), and the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM). While the INC and TDP were once dominant forces in the region, TRS has overshadowed them in recent years. The AIMIM, a party with a Muslim-majority following, wields significant influence in Hyderabad and other urban areas of Telangana.

Telangana movement

In the early Telangana movement, Marri Chenna Reddy formed a party called Telangana Praja Samithi to lead the Telangana movement. In November 1969, there was a major split in the party and as a result the movement declined. After two years the Telangana Praja Samithi was dissolved and its members rejoined the Congress.

A successor party, Telangana Rashtra Samithi, was formed in 2001 by Kalvakuntla Chandrashekar Rao (KCR). On 29 November 2009, KCR  started a fast-unto-death, demanding that the Congress party introduce a Telangana bill in Parliament. Student organisations, employee unions, and various organisations joined the movement. As general strikes shut down much economic activity in Telangana, Telangana Bill was passed in  Lok Sabha on 18 February 2014 and in Rajya Sabha on 18 February 2014. On 4 March 2014 the Government of India declared that 2 June would be the Telangana Formation Day.

Elections
The 2014 Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly election was held in united Andhra Pradesh state shortly before the formation of Telangana, on 30 April 2014. The results were declared on 16 May 2014, with Telangana Rashtra Samithi having won an overall majority within Telangana. This party went on to lead the first Government of Telangana when the Telangana Legislative Assembly was established, and won an increased majority in the 2018 Telangana Legislative Assembly election. Chandrashekar Rao has been Chief Minister throughout. The leading opposition party has been the Indian National Congress, and other challengers include the Telugu Desam Party and the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen, Bharatiya Janata Party.after 2018 assembly elections in the year of 2019 formed a new political party named India Janshakti Party founded by Awadesh Panty ,Nilesh takhar from Uttar Pradesh and Telangana Activist and contested independent Karimnagar assembly 2018 candidate (Pot symbol)Bandi Srinivas, present he was Telangana state President

Monroe E. Evans is an American politician who served as the mayor of Fayetteville, North Carolina, from 1965 until 1969. He was the city's first Jewish mayor. Evans helped to lead Fayetteville's desegregation reforms during the 1960s.

The Evans family are the descendants of Lithuanian Jews who immigrated to the United States. Monroe Evans's father, Isaac Evans, was born in a shtetl in present-day Lithuania in 1877. Evans's brother, Mutt Evans, served as the mayor of Durham, North Carolina, from 1951 to 1963. His nephew, Eli Evans, is the author of The Provincials: A Personal History of Jews in the South.

As mayor, Evans helped to lead Fayetteville's desegregation during the Civil Rights Movement. He worked with various city community and civic leaders to work on the transition. In 2001, Monroe told the Fayetteville Observer, "It was a rough time... But I got a lot of good people to work with. It worked here in Fayetteville." On February 1, 2001, Fayetteville State University (FSU) honored former Mayor Evans and three others for their efforts during the Civil Rights Movement.

Evans later served as an appointed member of the Fayetteville Airport Commission circa 1990 with former mayor Beth Finch.

title: Ozy Media

text:
Ozy Media (styled as OZY) was an American media and entertainment company launched in September 2013 by Carlos Watson and Samir Rao. It was headquartered in Mountain View, California, with an additional office in New York City.

On September 27, 2021, The New York Times reported a series of scandals at Ozy involving fraud and executive misbehavior. On October 1, after significant negative media attention, Ozy's board of directors announced that the company would cease operations. On October 4, Watson announced that the company would remain in operation with a significantly reduced board of directors. The Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission opened investigations into the company. On February 23, 2023, The Wall Street Journal reported that three executives, including both founders, had been charged with fraud.

Ozy announced on March 1, 2023, that it would cease operations. Its website went offline the same day.

History

Financing
Ozy was launched as a digital magazine and daily newsletter in September 2013. The company raised a $5.3 million seed round of funding in December 2013 backed by Laurene Powell Jobs, founder of Emerson Collective. Additional early investors included Louise Rogers and Ron Conway.  Powell Jobs became a board member.

In October 2014, Ozy announced that German media giant Axel Springer had invested $20 million in the company.  In January 2017, Ozy announced a $10 million Series B round of fundraising, led by Michael Moe's GSV Capital.  In November 2019 Ozy announced a Series C round of $35 million, led by businessman Marc Lasry. Ozy also received funding from the Ford Foundation.

In January 2021, Watson said that the company had reached profitability for the first time. He stated that Ozy brought in $50 million in revenue in 2020. Several major news outlets questioned the legitimacy of these claims, and investors subsequently sued, alleging fraud and concealment. The company also said that it had received acquisition offers from unnamed media companies.

In March 2021, Ozy and Dentsu announced a multi-year partnership as part of Dentsu's investment in "meaningful media" focused on millennial and Gen Z consumers. In October 2021, Variety announced that such media-buying agencies were no longer willing to do business with Ozy in light of its duplicitous and alleged illegal behavior. WPP's GroupM, which makes buying decisions for advertisers including Ford Motor, Unilever and IBM, wrote in a statement, “We suspended all campaigns with Ozy Media on behalf of our clients … We have also terminated our agreement with Ozy Media at this time.”

Partnerships
From OZY's launch in September of 2013 until the summer of 2014, Watson (or sometimes authors of recent articles in OZY) appeared in a weekly installment of NPR's All Things Considered called "The New and the Next," in which he would lay forth on "People, places and trends on the horizon" appearing in OZY articles.

In 2014, the company announced a content syndication partnership with National Geographic.

In 2015, Ozy had a newsletter partnership with The New York Times and Wired. Ozy claimed that these partnerships helped the company secure a number of new newsletter subscribers. However, Ozy employees allege that the company lied about the nature and success of these partnerships, stole email contacts from these partners, and violated data privacy laws throughout the duration of the partnerships.

In 2019, Ozy produced a television show that aired on the Oprah Winfrey Network and won an Emmy for Outstanding News Discussion and Analysis. That same year, the company produced a show for PBS that won an Imagen award for Best Informational Program.

In 2021, the company co-created a podcast with the BBC. It had 33 episodes, the last of which aired in April 2021. Ozy also partnered with Lifetime, The History Channel, and with the History Channel's channel's parent company A&E Networks.

Allegations of fraud and closure
On September 26, 2021, the New York Times reported that Samir Rao, COO and a co-founder of the company, had impersonated a YouTube executive on a conference call with Goldman Sachs. The meeting was an attempt to secure a $40 million investment. Goldman Sachs contacted Google, YouTube's parent company, and confirmed that no YouTube executives participated in that call. As a result, Goldman Sachs did not go forward with the investment. Google referred the matter to federal law enforcement. The New York Times report also discussed inflated traffic numbers, which BuzzFeed had reported on in 2017.

Following media coverage of Rao's impersonation, Ozy's board of directors asked him to take a leave of absence and announced that they had engaged the law firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison to undertake a review of the company's business practices. Upon the company's relaunch, Watson said he doubted that the review would happen. Elsewhere it was reported that the board members who had requested the review were no longer with the company.

A number of prominent people and organizations distanced themselves from Ozy following the publication of the Times article. Television journalist Katty Kay, who had joined just three months prior, resigned from Ozy Media. SV Angel announced it would give up the shares it had acquired in Ozy in 2012. A&E canceled the broadcast of a documentary it had produced with Ozy. The company's chairman Marc Lasry resigned after three weeks on the job and said in a statement, "I believe that going forward Ozy requires experience in areas like crisis management and investigations, where I do not have particular expertise."

Shortly after the Times article was published, Sharon Osbourne responded to a request by CNBC to verify a statement Ozy CEO Watson had made in a 2019 interview with them that Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne, after having sued Ozy over infringement on their Ozzfest brand, "decided to be friends and now they're investors in Ozy." Osbourne denied that she or her husband had been investors, saying, "This guy is the biggest shyster I have ever seen in my life", adding that during their legal battle she had declined shares in Ozy that Watson offered her. On October 4, 2021, Watson said that he had described the Osbournes as investors because they had been granted shares of stock in Ozy as part of a legal settlement.

On October 1, 2021, Watson, who had just been re-elected to a second three-year term as a corporate director of NPR, resigned immediately before a governance committee was planning to meet to determine his future. The same day, Ozy edited its website to remove Samir Rao's staff page. The board announced the company's closure, saying, "It is therefore with the heaviest of hearts that we must announce today that we are closing Ozy's doors." A majority of the staff were laid off.

Relaunch

On October 4, 2021, Watson said that Ozy would remain active. In an interview on NBC's Today, he announced the company is open for business, saying, "This is our Lazarus moment, if you will, our Tylenol moment." The next day, LifeLine Legacy Holdings, a fund management company that invested more than $2 million, filed a lawsuit claiming Ozy “engaged in fraudulent, deceptive and illegal conduct.” On June 13, 2022, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California dismissed LifeLine's lawsuit.

Axios noted the company would continue to face multiple issues in its attempted recovery, including investigations by the U.S. federal government and by outside law firms. They also noted that it remained unclear how much cash Ozy has on hand, and that the board of directors now includes only Watson and venture capitalist Michael Moe. The publication was skeptical about Watson's claims, noting that it was unclear how many employees still worked at Ozy and that Ozy's team page still listed "many people who are long gone" from the company.

Ron Conway, an early investor, was highly critical of Watson's decision to reopen. Conway said that he did not think the company should spend any money on a relaunch and that, instead, Ozy should have used its remaining cash to pay two weeks' severance to about 75 former Ozy employees. Conway subsequently surrendered his shares in Ozy and hired law firm Wilson Sonsini to represent the ex-employees in a suit against the company. In late November 2021, Ozy  reached a severance settlement with most of its former full-time employees. It included final paychecks, requested reimbursements, accrued but unused PTO, and other owed wages such as commissions.

In November 2021, it was reported that the Justice Department and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) had opened investigations into the company. Watson confirmed that he had heard from the SEC.

In February 2022, Watson tweeted a link to an article that quoted him at length and that described the future vision of "Ozy 2.0" without mentioning any of the controversies that had led to the original Ozy's closure. Vice World News observed that the article's author, "a journalist with the suspicious name of Hugh Grant", was depicted with a stock photograph. Tech Bullion, the news site that ran the Ozy 2.0 article, charged money for publishing articles, according to a reporter at The Information. Watson deleted his original tweet and followed up by tweeting, "I gave an interview. Shared all of the exciting things happening at OZY.  I had the expectation the interview would be published in a mainstream business news outlet. It wasn’t and the author used a pseudonym. The content is all true. Great content, wrong delivery." The Tech Bullion article has since been deleted.

Fraud charges and second closure

On February 23, 2023, the Wall Street Journal reported that multiple Ozy executives had been charged with fraud. Samir Rao pleaded guilty to fraud charges in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. Suzee Han, Ozy's former chief of staff, pleaded guilty to fraud conspiracy charges on February 14, and told a magistrate judge that she falsified financial information about the company at the direction of two unidentified executives. Carlos Watson was arrested and pleaded not guilty to fraud charges. Rao, Watson, and Ozy also face a civil lawsuit from the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, which alleges that the executives and the company lied to investors.

On March 1, 2023, Ozy posted on its Twitter account, "In light of its current operational and legal challenges, the Ozy board has determined that it's in the best interests of its stakeholders to suspend operations immediately." The company's web site became unreachable on the same day.

Content

Following the various allegations of fraud and illegal behavior in September 2021, the company ceased most all operations across its media channels. It produces no new podcasts, articles, or videos but does continue to produce a newsletter.

Magazine
Ozy's digital magazine focused on profiles of rising stars and trends, often rehashing stories covered previously by other media without any original interviews or reporting. Reporters were given budgets as small as $150 per story and were instructed not to cover topics covered by other mainstream media outlets. This led to the publication of some articles focused on issues of very narrow interest.

In 2017, Ozy reporters visited all 50 U.S. states for a project called "States of the Nation." The year after that, Ozy produced a series called "Around the World" in which they committed to report on three stories in every country. CNN reported that both series were largely delivered as promised, although the latter grouped some smaller countries together.

Television
In 2016, Ozy's first television series, The Contenders: 16 for '16, aired on PBS. It later produced three additional series for PBS.

The four-part show Black Women OWN the Conversation aired in August and September 2019 on the Oprah Winfrey Network. The episode "Motherhood" won the Outstanding News Discussion and Analysis award at the 41st News & Documentary Emmy Awards in 2020. The show featured conversations with an audience of 100 black women.

In January 2020, Ozy announced a partnership with A&E Networks to co-produce at least two additional television shows. By September 2020, the number of titles announced under the partnership had grown to five, including two scripted shows, a dating show, and a re-editing of the company's first TV show, The Contenders, updated for the 2020 election.

In July 2020, Ozy announced The Carlos Watson Show, a new daily talk show focused on long-form interviews, which would be distributed on YouTube. Brad Bessey, executive producer of The Carlos Watson Show, told The New York Times in September 2021 that he had been misled to believe that the show would air in prime time on A&E when he was hired. Talent bookers provided similarly misleading statements to guests on the show. Bessey resigned after learning that the show would instead be produced by the company for YouTube distribution. In his farewell email to Watson and Ozy COO Samir Rao, Bessey wrote, "You are playing a dangerous game with the truth. The consequences of offering an A&E show to guests when we don't have one to offer are catastrophic for Ozy and for me."

Podcasts
Ozy produced several podcasts, beginning with history podcast The Thread in 2017, an episode of which was featured as one of the 25 best podcasts of 2017 by The Guardian.  The company also produced a science and technology podcast The Future of X, and Ozy Confidential, an interview podcast.

Ozy Fest

In 2016 an event dubbed "Ozy Fest" was launched, which until 2018 was held in Rumsey Playfield at Central Park in New York City. The name of Ozy Fest sparked a lawsuit from Ozzy Osbourne's Ozzfest in 2017. The festival featured appearances from Wyclef Jean, Issa Rae, Katie Couric, and others.  Laurene Powell Jobs interviewed Hillary Clinton.

Ozy Fest 2019 was canceled, which was blamed on a heat wave. It later emerged that Ozy had been grossly inflating crowd projections and was ill-prepared for the event itself, with one employee saying "It was going to be Fyre Fest."

In 2021, Ozy Fest aired a two-day virtual event to raise funds for the United Negro College Fund.

Ozy Genius Awards
Ozy has hosted an irregular scholarship program since 2015, awarding 10 college-aged applicants with a $10,000 grant to pursue a "genius idea". Among the 2017 class of Ozy Genius Award winners was poet Amanda Gorman, who later rose to fame for reading "The Hill We Climb" at the inauguration of Joe Biden in 2021.

Organization
Axios described Ozy as one of the few U.S. digital media companies that was founded and is run by a person of color. CEO Watson said, "More than half of our company is people of color, more than half of our leadership team is female." According to employees, Ozy demanded very long work hours and high output. Employee turnover was high; employees have described executives as mercurial and abusive.

Reception
The Daily Telegraph described OZY as "a left-wing media company". Variety profiled Ozy favorably.

Ozy Fest 2018 was criticized as a "neoliberal nightmare" by Rolling Stone, a "sizzling hot festival for folks who love Coachella and neoliberalism" by GQ, and "a progressive alternate reality" by The Washington Post.
