PRUETT: Cool shirts or ballast, take your pick
It's time for IndyCar to add a line to its rulebook that will make life easier for its drivers and teams: Cool shirt systems or ballast, take your pick.
Devised independently by its teams in response to the spike in cockpit temperatures since the aeroscreen driver safety devices became mandatory in 2020, the NTT IndyCar Series has welcomed the use of the cool shirt systems as an elective method to bring the core temperatures of its drivers down on hot or humid days.
But the decision to cool comes with a weight penalty of approximately eight pounds when the system, which is comprised of a cool shirt, water, hoses, ducting, and the cooling pump, are combined and installed at the front of the Dallara DW12 tubs.
And that's where undue interference from some team leaders and race engineers has placed a higher priority on weight savings – running eight pounds lighter than the competition – than the cooling of its drivers. The sacrifice is often, but not always, made to gain upwards of 0.1 seconds per lap by keeping the eight pounds off the car. And that's also where we've reached a point where IndyCar needs to intervene.
The recent event in Nashville was the latest example where select teams chose to forego driver cooling to gain a competitive edge; climbing from their cars on Friday, the difference between those who had the cool shirt systems installed and those who went without was alarming as the uncooled looked like they spent 75 minutes roasting in an oven.
Visuals of those who were overheating and needing to make a beeline for ice baths to bring their body temperatures to a safer place was yet another reminder that nobody, other than the drivers, should have the ability to make a decision in the name of performance that places their pilots' health at risk.
As we've learned, some drivers don't need the added cooling because their bodies are more capable of heat rejection than others, and in the case of Team Penske's Scott McLaughlin, past failures of the cool shirt system – in his former career in the Australian Supercars series – has led to his willful decision to run without it in IndyCar. A few drivers have also taken it upon themselves to skip cool shirts to make use of the eight-pound advantage, and while admirable, it's not the type of gamble that should be allowed to continue.
IndyCar can balance the scales in favor of its drivers by adding a basic rule that says if the ambient conditions are above a threshold for temperature or humidity, team must install their driver cooling system or eight pounds of ballast to compensate for running without the system in the car. One way or the other, every car will have the extra eight pounds installed by take the teams out of the decision-making equation and remove the possibility of exploiting a weight break. It's that simple.
For a series that goes to extraordinary lengths to protect its drivers, this rule adjustment falls in line with all of the other regulations created to protect the series' most precious commodity.
IndyCar devised the same exact rule for use of the overhead air scoop which mounts to the aeroscreen; using a threshold it sets for high temperatures/humidity, an email will go out to all teams from the series mandating the installation of the scoop. If the series has established a precedent and temperature-based trigger for the topside scoop to be installed, a cooling system-or-ballast precedent would seem to be an easy one to enact.
The system adopted by most IndyCar teams is made by Rini and promises to deliver cooling to the driver that's approximately 10 degrees below ambient. Speak with those who make regular use of the system and they say it's quite powerful and makes a significant difference in their ability to drive on the limit without heat-related fatigue setting in.
In explaining why they haven't acquired the driver cooling units, one or two teams have points to costs. It comes with a price tag of $7800 per system, which isn't exactly inexpensive, but for the sake of comparison, the specialized wheel guns made by Paoli also cost $6900 apiece, and between four and six of them can be found in each pit box.
If teams are able to spend $27,600-$41,400 to keep the wheels on the car, spending the value of a little more than an extra Paoli to keep the driver below the boiling point inside the car seems like an expenditure that can be justified. And if, for whatever reason, a team wants to hold firm and save their money, get that eight pounds ready to bolt onto the car.
The problem of high cockpit and driver temperatures isn't going away anytime soon. The first opportunity to incorporate a purpose-built cooling solution will come when the successor to the Dallara DW12 is commissioned, and at the moment, there's no specific date in place for its arrival.
Until we reach a point in the future where cooling systems can be designed into the next-generation cars, the series can level the playing field with a new line in the rulebook that brings an end to the eight-pound reward. This one's a no-brainer.

Iraq: Hague to reveal UK-Iran talks
The latest developments in the UK's relationship with Iran will be set out by William Hague today as the West prepared to look to Tehran to help resolve the crisis in neighbouring Iraq.
Mr Hague spoke to his counterpart in Iran on Saturday and was told there was a "case for a further step forward in our bilateral relations".
The UK has had no diplomatic presence in Tehran since a mob ransacked the British embassy in 2011, but a senior envoy appointed as a non-resident charge d'affaires visited last year and the relationship between Iran and the West has thawed since the election of Hassan Rouhani as president.
US secretary of state John Kerry has indicated that the Obama administration is willing to talk with Iran over the deteriorating security conditions in Iraq.
The president announced last night that around 275 US military personnel could deploy to Iraq to provide support and security for the US embassy and its staff in Baghdad.
Mr Hague, who updated MPs yesterday on the insurgency by militants from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isis), will return to the Commons today for the scheduled session of Foreign Office questions.
During yesterday's Commons appearance he was asked by shadow foreign secretary Douglas Alexander about the "urgent case for ensuring an effective British diplomatic presence in Tehran".
Mr Hague said he had discussed "a number of matters, including the situation in Iraq" with Iranian counterpart Mohammad Javad Zarif.
"He said that there was a case for a further step forward in our bilateral relations. I have discussed that with him, and I shall have something more to say about our discussions imminently," Mr Hague told MPs.
"However, our work on that is distinct from discussions on Iraq, which is partly why I shall address those separately."
Mr Kerry said in an interview with Yahoo! News that Washington is "open to discussions" with Tehran if the Iranians can help end the violence and restore confidence in the Iraqi government, and would not rule out military co-operation, and a senior US official revealed American and Iranian diplomats have already discussed the Iraq issue during nuclear talks in Austria.
Mr Kerry said: "We're open to discussions if there is something constructive that can be contributed by Iran, if Iran is prepared to do something that is going to respect the integrity and sovereignty of Iraq and ability of the government to reform."
On military co-operation, Mr Kerry said: "At this moment, I think we need to go step-by-step and see what in fact might be a reality. But I would not rule out anything that would be constructive in providing real stability, a respect for the constitution, a respect for the election process and a respect for the ability of the Iraqi people to form a government that represents all the interests of Iraq.
"We are open to any constructive process here that would minimise the violence."
But the Pentagon says it has no plans to co-ordinate with Iran on possible military action in Iraq despite Mr Kerry's comments about engagement with Tehran.
In a sign of Iran's deepening involvement in the Iraqi crisis, the Associated Press reported the commander of the country's elite Quds Force is helping Iraq's military and Shiite militias respond to the insurgency.
The Iranian general Ghasem Soleimani, has been consulting in Iraq on how to roll back the al Qaida breakaway group, according to Iraqi security officials.
In his Commons statement yesterday Mr Hague acknowledged that Britons will "inevitably" be fighting alongside the extremist group which has overrun large parts of northern Iraq.
Mr Hague said it was possible that Britons who had travelled to Syria to fight in the country's bloody civil war could have joined Isis , which the Foreign Secretary called the "most violent and brutal militant group in the Middle East".
The Foreign Secretary repeated his position that there was no prospect of a British military intervention, but said counter-terrorism support could be offered to the government in Baghdad and a Ministry of Defence (MoD) team had been sent to the country to assist embassy staff in contingency planning.
He said: "We are taking action in three areas: promoting political unity among those who support a democratic Iraqi state and stability in the region; offering assistance where appropriate and possible and alleviating humanitarian suffering.
"We have made it clear this does not involve planning a military intervention by the United Kingdom."
Giving further details of what UK involvement could be, Mr Hague said: "We are discussing with the Iraqi government areas for co-operation, including the possibility of offering counter-terrorism expertise.
"We are also providing consular assistance to a small number of British nationals who have been affected. For this purpose a UK MoD operational liaison and reconnaissance team arrived in Baghdad on Saturday to help assess the situation on the ground and assist the embassy on contingency planning."

Dhaka: Bangladeshi author Taslima Nasreen on Tuesday reacted to the Supreme Court verdict abolishing triple talak, saying while it was "definitely not women's freedom" there was a need to go beyond by doing away with "1400 yrs old Quranic laws".
"Abolishing triple talaq…is definitely not women's freedom. Women need to be educated and (should become) independent," Nasreen tweeted. "Abolish 1400 yrs old Quranic laws. (We) need modern laws based on equality," she said.
In a series of tweets, Nasreen said: "Why only triple talaq? Whole Islamic law or Sharia law should be abolished. All religious laws should be abolished for the sake of humanity." "Religions including religious laws and rituals are anti-women. Period," she said.
The Supreme Court held triple talaq being practiced by the Muslim community as "unconstitutional", "arbitrary" and "not part of Islam". A five-judge constitutional bench, by a 3:2 majority judgement, said there is no constitutional protection for triple talaq.

By the end of the 20th century, the geology of the Moravian part of the Vienna Basin was fairly well known from hydrocarbon exploration; nevertheless, recently acquired seismic data have provided important new information. Some of the most interesting geological features derived from 3D seismic interpretation are presented in this article. The main focus is on the Badenian deposits which comprise the most important sedimentary succession in terms of thickness, rock volume, tectonic evolution, and hydrocarbon accumulations. Examples from other Neogene stratigraphic stages are also presented. 3D seismic data analysis has contributed to a better understanding of the basin's geological development in terms of the temporal and spatial relationships between tectonics, depositional environment, and sedimentation. The 3D data have enabled interpreters to identify new potential structural, stratigraphic, and combination hydrocarbon traps, some of which have been confirmed by wells.

China expands sub fleet
War_Conflict
China's military is engaged in a major buildup of submarines that includes five new strategic nuclear-missile boats and several advanced nuclear-powered attack submarines, according to the Office of Naval Intelligence.
The new nuclear-powered missile submarines (SSBNs), identified as Type 094s, will be outfitted with new 5,000-mile range JL-2 missiles that "will provide China with a modern and robust sea-based nuclear deterrent force," the ONI stated in report made up of written answers to questions on the Chinese submarine buildup.
The ONI report was first disclosed to Sea Power magazine, and a copy was obtained by The Washington Times. It was the first time the Pentagon has identified the number of new Chinese strategic submarines under construction.
The five new missile submarines will "provide more redundancy and capacity for a near-continuous at-sea SSBN presence," the ONI said, which noted that sea trials for some of the submarines are under way and the first deployments could begin as early as next year.
The buildup is raising new concerns among senior Pentagon planners already worried by Beijing's broader strategic nuclear-forces buildup, which also includes several new long-range land-based nuclear missiles and a land-attack cruise missile similar to the Tomahawk.
"This is a troubling development," Richard Fisher, a specialist on the Chinese military with the private International Assessment and Strategy Center, said of the submarine buildup.
The five missile submarines, each equipped with 12 JL-2 missiles, shows that China is working to achieve a force of 120 long-range nuclear missiles over the next decade, about half of them to be carried on the submarines, Mr. Fisher said. The other half would be the 60 land-based DF-31 missiles that current deployment rates will give China by then, he said.
The 120 missiles also could have multiple-warheads, since China is known to have acquired all the needed technology from the U.S. during the 1990s.
Retired Vice Adm. Michael McConnell, commenting at a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on Tuesday, said China's nuclear missiles pose a threat.
"It's a matter of they're building their military, in my view, to reach some state of parity with the United States," said Mr. McConnell, the new director of national intelligence. "So they're a threat today, they would become an increasing threat over time."
Little is known about China's nuclear forces and efforts by Pentagon officials to engage Chinese military leaders about their strategic weapons and forces has not been successful. China's government has insisted its current modernization is part of a peaceful development, but the contrasting strategic nuclear-forces buildup is worrying, defense officials said.
Chinese Gen. Zhu Chenghu told reporters in 2005 that China would attack U.S. cities with nuclear weapons in response to any conventionally armed U.S. missile strikes against China during a conflict over Taiwan. Years earlier, Gen. Xiong Guangkai threatened to use nuclear weapons against Los Angeles if the U.S. helped Taiwan defend against a Chinese invasion of the island.
The missile-submarine buildup would provide Beijing with a major upgrade on current capabilities. In 1983, China built one Xia-class nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine, reportedly with 12 1,000-mile range JL-1 missiles. But that solitary submarine has only twice test-fired its missiles and never ventured beyond China's regional waters.
"Although the range of the JL-1 limits the Xia's utility as a deterrent platform, targets throughout the region, including U.S. military facilities, could be targeted with the JL-1 from launch points inside traditional Chinese navy operating areas," the ONI said.
On China's new attack submarine, the ONI stated that China already has launched and is performing sea trials on an unspecified number of Type 093 nuclear-powered attack submarines. Published reports in China have said two Type 093 attack submarines are deployed and use "foreign technologies" and advanced anti-ship missiles and torpedoes.
The new advances are part of China's efforts to bolster its anti-ship weapons to permit strikes at greater ranges from the Chinese coast than its current diesel-powered submarine force offers, the ONI said. China currently is upgrading its current force of about 55 attack submarines - most of them easy-to-track diesel boats - with more-advanced and harder-to-track vessels, including Russian-made Kilos, and its own Song- and Yuan-class submarines.
"Each of these submarine classes, which are quiet platforms with anti-ship cruise missiles, is an integral part of China's regional anti-access strategy," ONI said. "The quieting incorporated into these submarines is required for successful operations in the open ocean operating areas which could facilitate the [Chinese navy's] wartime mission of keeping enemy combatants outside of strike range of the theater of operation."
A Song-class submarine surfaced undetected within five miles, well within firing range, of the aircraft carrier USS Kitty Hawk in October.
The ONI stated that China's maritime strategy is focused on blocking U.S. or Japanese intervention in a future conflict over Taiwan. To that end, Beijing has begun equipping its medium- and short-range ballistic missiles based on shore, hundreds of which are deployed across the Taiwan Strait from the island that the communist regime views as a renegade province, with maneuvering warheads.
These radar-guided or heat-seeking weapons "provide the accuracy necessary to attack a ship at sea," ONI said.
But China's rise in international trade and commerce, plus its growing dependence on imported foreign oil, also has expanded Beijing's maritime strategy from a mostly submarine force to one of building surface ships to "defend sea lines of communication" (SLOCs), because protecting sea-lanes with submarines is difficult.
ONI also said that in addition to new destroyers, "by 2020, China is likely to operate an aircraft carrier, the initial unit of which may be the refurbished ex-Varyag, acquired from Ukraine in 2000, to further support SLOC protection."

"Such an announcement is not the stuff of a well-operated FTSE-100 organisation … Clearly there can be no suggestion of impropriety on behalf of the new CEO to our minds, who has been in the job less than a month. However, this development may raise, indeed must raise, much more fundamental questions over the chairman's position and the nature, composition and extent of the board, which to our minds has been lopsided between executives and NEDs [non-executive directors] for far too long. Such matters, of course, are for shareholders to decide.
"This revelation should be interpreted as a sign of distress. Tesco has essentially tried to recognise revenue too early and delay the recording of costs until a later date. Accounting is not a hard science and some of this behaviour is acceptable, within limits. What Tesco appears to have done is push the boat out a bit too far, ending up with revenue that hadn't really been earned yet and costs that probably should have been booked earlier.
"History is littered with companies that have timed their income and costs to make profits look higher. It is a classic accounting game to play. But what has happened at Tesco is very unclear. Is the allegation that the previous CEO used an accounting convention that made the numbers look better to try and stay in the job? Is it that Dave Lewis is trying to engineer a recovery by making the existing position worse? Or is it that two different CEOs have entirely different views on accounting policy – both of which are legal?
"In November 2013, [we made] a morning comment entitled 'A desperate move?' and in October 2013 we published a research note entitled 'It's Just An illusion' – in both we questioned how Tesco was supporting 5.2% UK trading margins with falling sales and rising costs. We believed Tesco had been overstating its UK commercial gross profit by £200m+ per annum via deducting monies from suppliers' trading accounts or extending payment dates without notice.
"Tesco's commercial profit overstatement and deferral of costs seems to have led to the new management declaring a £250m shortfall in H1 UK trading profits. We suspect Dave Lewis was aware of Tesco's actions while at Unilever and from comments across the UK/global supplier base, so we expect he already had several questions for Tesco's commercial team when he joined. Tesco has already indicated a major reduction in the interim dividend by 75% … The read across is that Tesco may now have to sell assets across its UK and international portfolio to pay for this behaviour.
"The new chief executive's baptism of fire continues as Tesco adds a profit warning to a profit warning.
"A combination of an overstatement of income and an understatement of costs has led to a material shortfall to the previously announced profit figure. Whilst this does not come close to jeopardising overall profitability, it follows last month's announcement when the market had assumed that, at least, the bad news was out in the open and being dealt with.


But what kind? Since I'm cutting back on the amount of carbs I eat, anything with grains, beans, or pasta was out. My options were limited.
Thankfully, this is the reason the internet gods gave us Pinterest. You can plug in just about any ingredient or dietary restriction and get back dozens of good choices.
That's how I found this recipe from A Spicy Perspective. It's packed with veggies and flavored with ginger and turmeric. Both spices are loaded with antioxidants and known for aiding digestion and reducing inflammation.
I made a few tweaks to the original recipe to sub in my preferred vegetables and cut back on the carbs a bit more. The result is spicy, delicious, and so damn good for you. I'll happily be eating this for lunch all week.
Heat olive oil in a large stock pot over medium heat. Add celery, carrots, shallot, garlic, ginger, salt, red pepper flake, and turmeric. Sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and sauté another 3 minutes.
Add chicken breasts, chicken broth, and apple cider vinegar to the pot. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
Use tongs to move chicken breasts to a cutting board. Add broccoli and cauliflower to the pot and continue simmering. Meanwhile, shred the chicken breasts with two forks.
Stir shredded chicken back into the pot, along with the baby spinach. Simmer 5 minutes until spinach is wilted and broccoli and cauliflower are tender. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Benchmark Best Practices: Departmental Leadership
(2014). Benchmark Best Practices: Departmental Leadership.
The COACHE surveys of college faculty produce data that are both salient to full-time college faculty and actionable by academic leaders. The survey items are aggregated into 20 benchmarks representing faculty satisfaction. This white paper examines departmental leadership and faculty satisfaction with chairs' or department heads' pace of decision-making, stated priorities, and fairness in evaluating faculty work.
COACHE's 2010 pilot study of tenured faculty found that faculty desire from the administration a clearly articulated institutional mission and vision that do not change in ways that adversely affect faculty work. Faculty also wish for clear expectations for the mix of research, teaching, and service or outreach; support for research and teaching; and a sense that their work is valued. Deans and department chairs can improve faculty morale through communication, and particularly by involving faculty in meaningful decisions that affect them. Deans and chairs are also responsible for supporting faculty in adapting to any changes to mission and institutional priorities.

Academic nursing administrators' workplace satisfaction and intent to stay
Emory, J., Lee, P., Miller, M. T., Kippenbrock, T., & Rosen, C. (2017). Academic nursing administrators' workplace satisfaction and intent to stay. Nursing Outlook , 65 (1), 77-83.
In nursing education, the academic administrator is critical given the multitude of challenges associated with program delivery (e.g., shortages of faculty, strict and changing regulations for program accreditation, and the sheer demand for more nurses). Unfortunately, with the focus on recruiting and retaining new novice faculty to teach students, academic nursing administrators have been overlooked in recent studies. As such, this study, which uses data from the Collaborative on Academic Careers in Higher Education, aims to explore the workplace satisfaction and intent to stay of academic nursing administrators by considering their relation to a variety of demographic and work related variables. Results indicate that several modifiable work factors positively relate to both job satisfaction and intent to stay.
Benchmark Best Practices: Appreciation & Recognition
(2014). Benchmark Best Practices: Appreciation & Recognition . The Collaborative on Academic Careers in Higher Education.
The COACHE surveys of college faculty produce data that are both salient to full-time college faculty and actionable by academic leaders. The survey items are aggregated into 20 benchmarks representing faculty satisfaction. This white paper examines appreciation and recognition for faculty teaching efforts, student advising, scholarly/creative work, service contributions, and outreach.
Focus group research conducted by COACHE showed that while many tenured faculty members feel valued by undergraduate and graduate students, they do not receive much recognition from other faculty and upper-level administrators. The degree to which appreciation/recognition themes appeared in our 2010 study of tenured faculty far surpassed their appearance in our pre-tenure faculty research. In our recent study, tenured faculty felt that extramural service that increases the reputation of their colleges, while expected of them, is not recognized and goes unrewarded. This gap between expectations and appreciation discouraged many faculty from serving their institutions in this way.

Work life balance and job satisfaction among faculty at Iowa State University
Mukhtar, F. (2012). Work life balance and job satisfaction among faculty at Iowa State University. Iowa State University.
This study utilized the existing database from the Iowa State University 2009-2010 Faculty Job Satisfaction Survey to explore faculty work life balance and job satisfaction among academic disciplines. This research sought to determine if (a) work life differs by academic discipline group: (b) job satisfaction differs by academic discipline, and (c) there is a relationship between faculty work life and job satisfaction and whether this relationship differs by academic discipline group, and (d) if academic discipline has a unique effect on faculty work and life balance.
The results indicated that there is a significant relationship between work life and job satisfaction. When controlling for demographic and professional experience, the result also indicated that age and climate, and culture were significant predicators for work life balance. The results also showed that female faculty have lower job satisfaction, and indicated that the level of job satisfaction was lower for hard pure disciplines than soft pure disciplines.
International Faculty Perceptions of Departmental Climate and Workplace Satisfaction
Mamiseishvili, K., & Lee, D. (2018). International Faculty Perceptions of Departmental Climate and Workplace Satisfaction. Innovative Higher Education , 43 (5), 323–338.
Although the variability in the definitions and immigration status of international academics makes it challenging to provide the exact number of foreign-born faculty members teaching and conducting research in U.S. postsecondary institutions, all data accounts have pointed to a steady growth in this segment of the professoriate. This study used data from the 2011-2014 Faculty Job Satisfaction Survey to examine international faculty members' satisfaction with autonomy, interactions with colleagues, departmental climate, and recognition and the effect of these elements upon the overall workplace satisfaction of international faculty members relative to their U.S. citizen peers.
This study helps identify factors that can enhance international faculty members' satisfaction in order to aid institutions in their efforts not only to recruit the best talent but also to support and retain such talent.

These charts present data from the 2013 Faculty Job Satisfaction Survey, focusing on results across seven public universities. The charts represent the arithmetic mean, by academic area and by rank and tenure status, of select COACHE survey results. "NTT" faculty are full- time, non-tenure-track faculty. All items were rated by respondents on a five-point scale of satisfaction, agreement, etc. Thus, for example, faculty were asked not to report the number of courses they teach, but to rate their satisfaction with the number of courses they teach.

Cape Town - Looking to erase the disappointment of the Confederation Cup final defeat, SuperSport coach Eric Tinkler is set to ring the changes when his side play Ajax Cape Town on Wednesday.
Matsatsantsa ended their nine-month African adventure when they drew 0-0 with TP Mazembe in the second leg of the CAF Confederation Cup final in Pretoria on Saturday night, allowing the club from the DR Congo to claim a 2-1 aggregate victory.
With concerns that the defeat could take it's toll on his players, Tinkler is expected to make significant alterations to his team for their domestic Absa Premiership match against Ajax at the Mbombela Stadium on Wednesday.
"I am looking for a positive response. We'll see if we can get that when we play against Ajax. Then you will know how it has affected the team, emotionally and psychologically," he said.
"Obviously we plan to make quite a few changes for that game because we have brought in quite a number of new faces into the squad.
"I think that we need to refresh this squad a little bit. Now we can really start focusing on our league campaign. That becomes the main objective right now."
The Tshwane club will be playing catch-up in the league - to date they have only played five matches, while their Absa Premiership rivals have played between nine and 12 games.
The 2017 MTN8 champions are in 13th position on the table, with 10 points, nine points behind leaders Baroka FC who have played seven games more.

Cequence Security Raises $60M in Series C Funding to Meet Surging Demand for its Innovative API Security Platform
15.12.2021 17:00:00 EET | Business Wire
Cequence Security, the leader in API security, today announced it has closed $60 million in Series C funding led by new investor Menlo Ventures. Additional participation comes from new investors ICON Ventures, Telstra Ventures and HarbourVest Partners. Existing investors Shasta Ventures, Dell Technologies Capital and T-Mobile Ventures also participated in this funding round. The latest round of funding brings total investment in the company to $100 million.
This new financing comes on the heels of record growth for Cequence, driven by advancements in business applications in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Across multiple industries, companies have accelerated their digital transformation projects and deployed a growing number of new APIs, but in the process, they have overlooked traditional security reviews and governance best practices.
Cequence's API security solution is the most comprehensive platform on the market and its success in protecting 2 billion API transactions per day is unmatched by competitors. Cequence works tirelessly to help organizations protect their APIs and their businesses with API inventory tracking, risk assessment and threat prevention—all performed natively and at runtime.
This hard work has proven fruitful, as Cequence services over 85 brands worldwide, including several Fortune 500 and 100 companies in markets ranging from banking and beauty, to retail and consumer mobile apps.
VP Analyst at Gartner, Mark O'Neill and Jeremy D'Hoinne, emphasizes in 2021 Gartner® "Hype Cycle™ for Application Security, 2021" report.
"Many organizations lack visibility of their APIs, as many APIs are used as part of web or mobile applications and not published directly. This means that a key requirement of API threat protection is API discovery, since, as every security professional knows, you can't secure what you don't know." 1
"As an active cybersecurity investor, I've looked at countless API security vendors, but I'm placing my bets on Cequence—as is the market. Among their impressive roster of customers, you'll find several household names and Fortune 500 organizations, which speaks to their ability to meet the API protection demands of the largest and most demanding enterprise businesses," said Venky Ganesan, partner at Menlo Ventures. "Part of the appeal is superior product architecture. Cequence can stand alone: It is the only solution that provides visibility and inline response mitigation to attacks on APIs. It's the only solution out there that doesn't need to signal other products for mitigation."
The funding will support new enhancements to Cequence's API security solutions and the expansion of its product offerings. It will also help the company break into new regions in the United States and Europe, as well as new markets in Asia and Australia. In turn, Cequence will be looking to aggressively hire and grow its team within these geographies. As part of the transaction, Venky Ganesan of Menlo Ventures will also join the company's board.
"From social networks to online shopping and financial services, so many aspects of our lives and digital experiences are tied to APIs. That's why it's critical to be able to manage your entire API inventory to address security gaps and protect against rising API threats that may lead to fraud and data loss," said Larry Link, CEO of Cequence Security. "We're thrilled that our new and existing investors recognize this growing market need and are eager to support our mission to protect organizations—and users—in this digital-first world."

LONG BEACH – More area job seekers found employment in June than they did the same time a year ago, according to the latest figures released Friday.
The jobless rate in June in the Greater Long Beach area fell between 0.5 percentage points and nearly 2.5 percentage points when compared with the same time in 2011, according to the Employment Development Department.
Long Beach's unemployment rate dropped 1.6 percentage points from 13.8 percent in June 2011 to 12.2 percent last month, while cities with higher jobless rates, such as Compton and Paramount, reported the biggest drops.
Compton's rate fell 2.2 percentage points, from 21 percent in June 2011 to 18.8 percent in June 2012, while Paramount's fell 2 percentage points, from 18.1 percent in June 2011 to 16.1percent in June 2012.
Cyndi Karapogosian, senior regional vice president for Robert Half International, a staffing services firm, said more companies are hiring than a year ago.
She added that industries in demand include financial services, transportation, logistics, hospitality and even construction.
Meanwhile, the U.S. unemployment rate remained at 8.2percent in June, while California's unemployment rate fell slightly in June to 10.7 percent, as the state added more than 38,000 jobs.
It marked a slight drop from May, when state unemployment was at 10.8 percent.
State officials say trade, transportation and utilities posted the largest job increases since May.
California's decline is a dramatic drop from a year ago, when unemployment in the state was 11.9 percent. In the past 11 months, the state added 279,000 jobs for a growth rate of 2 percent over the same period in 2011, EDD spokesman Kevin Callori said.
"That's the strongest year-over-year growth in number and percentage since June of 2006," he said.
California has now added 475,300 jobs since the recovery from the recession began in September 2009. Still, nearly 1.8 million Californians remain unemployed.

Advertising slogans are an integral part of consumers' everyday life across the world. When it comes to slogans, Coca-Cola takes the cake with some really great slogans though its 132 years of history. Since its inception in 1986, Coca-Cola has had a number of memorable slogans over its journey of 100 plus years. Depending on the generation you belong to, you may be familiar with few of them.
Ever wondered how the 1st official slogan for Coca-Cola came into being? Well, Dr. John S. Pemberton, the founder of Coca-Cola, along with Frank Robinson – his partner and book keeper, ran the first newspaper ad for Coca-Cola in the Atlanta Journal, two weeks after it began selling. The ad described Coke as "delicious and refreshing" and these two words went on to become one of their longest running slogans, for almost 34 years!
In the 1920s, Coke focussed more on appealing to thirsty consumers and this is well reflected in its slogans from those years that subtly called out to its consumers to quench their thirst through "Thirst Knows No Season," "Enjoy Thirst" and "Refresh Yourself." It was not until the 1970s that Coca-Cola evolved into a brand synonymous with fun, friends and good times. One of its catchiest slogans came forth in 1971 in the form of a song – "I'd like to buy the world a Coke". The 1979 "Have a Coke and a Smile" slogan from the Coca-Cola commercial featuring a young fan giving Pittsburgh Steeler, "Mean Joe Greene", a refreshing Coke, is fondly remembered by many. Not to miss the1980s when Coca-Cola gave the world memorable slogans such as "Coke is It!", "Catch the Wave" and "Can't Beat the Feeling".
In 2009, Coca-Cola coined its "Open Happiness" slogan based on the company's core values of simplicity and humility. It was intended as an invitation for people around the world to pause, get refreshed with a Coke and enjoy the smaller pleasures of life. "Open Happiness" gave the world some truly heart-touching campaigns with the messaging present everywhere from Billboards, TV spots and print media t o social media. However, Coca-Cola being the ever evolving brand, transitioned from this celebrated tagline to "Taste the Feelings" in 2016, putting the product at the centre in an attempt to win over consumers in the currently struggling soda category.
Needless to say, these are not the only slogans used by the company over the years. In fact, there have been hundreds and hundreds of Coke slogans formulated over the years, which may or may not have been used in their major marketing campaigns. Some may have been used over a very short period of time, on limited media channels and geographies. What stands out here is the journey of Coca-Cola's branding efforts that has given the world, some of the greatest slogans of all times.


I love the company that I am keeping these days with all those fun names up there! I am in love with Betsy's most recent line!! I was able to snag a bundle this last trip to Quilt Market. It was Eliza's Indigo. The yellow was just spot on mixed with all the delicious browns. It was beyond beautiful!!! I would love to design fabric one day and bundles like hers just make me drool and feel inadequate at this point. Her quilt patterns are so classy and they just make me drool too. Next is Jeni Baker, she is a designer for Art Gallery and has just fabulous pattern designs too. She has a fresh color palette and I have even caught a glimpse of a new book she is releasing highlighting Half-Square Triangles. The few quilting patterns I have peeked at were just stunning. I have her book on my list of books to add to my library. The last two ladies I had to research a little and it was exciting to see what they have been up to. I think that the pod cast will be fun to unveil their fun little adventure. A little tease would be to say that it involves a quilt design that doesn't include batting/thread/or fabric. Pretty Cool.
And then there is me. Quilting is my life and my love and my grace at times. I just enjoy it so much. In my life I have wrapped myself up in so many different quilting adventures that it keeps it so fresh/exciting/challenging/fulfilling. I mentioned above that I have really enjoyed quilting for all these fabulous sweethearted piecers and I am also having a blast pattern designing (aka really sewing for myself, lol). If I could think of any one thing right now that I would change it would be finding some way to add a secret extra 24 hours to each day to only sew. Wouldn't that be the best! Also, I really enjoy studying fabric. I have been doing that for quite some time now. I think that I should get some kind of college accreditation for all the studying that I have been doing. There should be tests because I could pass them. The second best thing to a degree is an Etsy store with all my favorite picks. So there is just LOVE. LOVE for the industry and LOVE for the hobby and LOVE for all that I get from the fact that we can work with precious beautiful fabric in a myriad of designs/colors/textiles. WOW. Of course I am going to have to tone this LOVE down for the podcast because I don't want to sound too crazy, right?. Because it is a big part, but I do still have my cute little family and friends that I LOVE even more and I'm just so lucky that they support me in this passion. I also need an extra secret 24 hours to spend with them doing fun non-quilty-stuff. How in the world can I get more time?
If you get a chance to listen come back and tell me what you thought? Did I sound crazy, lol? So much quilting and so little TIME.
Sometimes following your heart means loosing your mind.
Isn't it funny how day by day nothing changes but looking back everything is different.
That is so awesome about the podcast. I will have to listen!


European Muslims are not embracing Western culture, and Italy's plan to give all 18-year-olds $500 to spend at museums and concerts is not going to help. Cutting welfare might.
Italy has a new plan to push back against Islamic radicalization of European youth. It wants to give them European culture. This month, Italy will begin offering all 18-year-olds a voucher worth approximately $500 to use on concerts, movies, and museum visits. The premise is that cultural exposure can counter Islamic terrorism. Although this is perhaps a well-intentioned effort to wage an ideological war against Islamism, Italy's program is unlikely to work.
Italy is correct to want Muslim youths to embrace Western culture as an alternative to turning to radical Islam; however, it's mistaken in thinking this cultural shift can be forced or that mere exposure to Western culture will have the desired effect.
Italy's new program, which will run through the end of 2017, will cost the country approximately $300 million. It was first announced soon after the attacks last November on the Bataclan theatre in Paris, where Islamic terrorists killed 130 people. Although its fundamental purpose is to counter radicalization, the vouchers will be available to all 18-year-olds, regardless of religion or ethnicity.
Italy is not the first European country to engage in an ideological battle in an attempt to dissuade youth from radicalizing. Britain has a program called "Prevent" that targets "at-risk youth"—those from Muslim families—and offers them counseling. This program has been criticized for stigmatizing and ostracizing Muslims, and for being a pathway for police surveillance of the Muslim community in Britain.
Germany has a number of counter- and de-radicalization programs, based on similar programs from the 1980s and '90s for neo-Nazis. These have had dubious outcomes. Earlier this year, a 16-year-old student threw a bomb into a Sikh temple. These types of programs have also been considered with skepticism because, as one former Salafist notes, "You can't get anyone out unless he wants it." So how do you make them want it?
Although Italy is trying to think outside of the box with its hybrid financial-cultural incentive, its plan is destined for failure. To begin with, most 18-year-olds are far more likely to use such a voucher to head to a movie or concert rather than a museum. In that case, how do movies and concerts, essentially vacuous pop culture, help influence young Muslim men not to radicalize? What values do they hold that would persuade a young man looking for a sense of identity not to take refuge in an extreme religious sect?
Furthermore, are movies and concerts really at the heart of the culture that Italy wants its people to engage in? What about encouraging support for and engagement of principles like freedom of expression and democracy? These are certainly more crucial for preserving European culture than going to see an action movie.
Even if Muslim youth did choose to use their vouchers for museums, it's not clear this would produce any positive effects, either. In Paris, all students have free admission to public museums, but this has hardly slowed North African youth from turning to Islamism and launching terrorist attacks in France.
The fact is, exposure to Western culture—not insulation from it—has a history of inspiring some Muslims to turn to Islamic extremism and terrorism. Sayyid Qutb, a leading member of the Muslim Brotherhood in the 1950s and '60s, spent time as an exchange student in the United States, and partly this experience helped push him toward radical Islam and indicting the West.
What's more, financial assistance in whatever form is just as likely to hurt as help. Europe's welfare state has been proven to subsidize terrorism, not counter it. Several of the terrorists involved in the Brussels and Paris attacks had been receiving various kinds of stipends and financial aid from the Belgium government. This money helped sustain them while they were planning their attacks.
Financial subsidies help make it possible for Islamic extremists to engage in terrorist activities. In fact, in its 2015 guide titled "How to Survive in the West," ISIS encouraged followers in Europe to take advantage of any financial aid they can to help fund their plots or trips to Iraq and Syria.
Regardless of the drawbacks of the specific plan, Italy has succeeded in identifying a key problem involved in combatting Islamic radicalization: the Muslim population in Europe is largely not embracing Western culture. Unless they do, there will continue to be a gap between Muslim and non-Muslim Europeans, and Islamic extremism will continue to take hold. This is the central problem facing Europe.
The government official in charge of the voucher program, Tommaso Nannicini, says its purpose is to send a message and a reminder of "how crucial culture is, both for personal enrichment and for strengthening the social fabric of the country." Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi called it a "cultural battle" that must be won. They are both right.
The ultimate goal of encouraging engagement with European culture is to protect and preserve that culture. But, as I've written previously, this is precisely what Europe has been reticent to do for a variety of reasons. How can European countries possibly ask their Muslim citizens to assimilate to a culture that the countries themselves are too ashamed to defend? Italy's recognition of what Europe must do is a good sign, even if its voucher program is fraught with problems.
The idea of encouraging appreciation of European culture is apt to offend some who don't like the idea of asking immigrants to adjust or change. These people think immigrants should be able, and even ought, to live in cultural enclaves while taking advantage of the economic benefits of their new home. Italy's new program is, therefore, bound to find resistance and criticism, and is unlikely to be replicated in whatever form. This is an unfortunate reality of our politically correct age.
Italy's cash-for-culture program is likely to produce little fruit. But the fact that they understand the importance of culture and its role in the battle against Islamic extremism is a positive sign in these dark days for Europe.

Biden Inaugural Committee Sets Cross-Network Primetime Special Hosted by Tom Hanks
5:50 AM PST 1/13/2021 by Alex Weprin
"Celebrating America" will air across ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and MSNBC, while also streaming on the PIC's YouTube and social media channels.
President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris' Presidential Inaugural Committee on Wednesday announced a primetime special that will effectively serve as the conclusion to the day's events.
The star-studded special, Celebrating America, will be hosted by Tom Hanks and will air from 8:30 p.m.-10 p.m. across five TV networks and online. The participating networks are ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and MSNBC, while also streaming on the PIC's YouTube and social media channels. Amazon Prime Video, Twitch and NewsNOW from Fox will also stream the event.
The special will feature performances by Jon Bon Jovi, Justin Timberlake, Demi Lovato, Ant Clemons, Bruce Springsteen, Foo Fighters and John Legend, with Eva Longoria and Kerry Washington on board to introduce some of the segments and be joined by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Dolores Huerta, Founder of World Central Kitchen Chef José Andrés and the first woman MLB general manager Kim Ng. Biden and Harris will also make remarks.
Timberlake will perform "Better Days," a collaboration he wrote during lockdown with Clemons to "encourage everyone to stay hopeful and to keep working towards a better future." Timberlake shared a clip of the song to his social media, adding, "We have a long way to go to fix, undo, and rebuild this country … but I hope now, despite the past four years, we're on our way."
Lin-Manuel Miranda will also join to recite a classical work during the program.
The special, which the PIC says is the "capstone" to the day's events, was developed in part because the COVID-19 pandemic is forcing many traditional inauguration events — such as live concerts and the inaugural parade — to be canceled. As a result, the organization is turning to less traditional ways to engage with Americans for the inauguration, including a public art display in Washington and a memorial to lives lost due to the disease.
For past inaugurations, networks have carried concerts and other performances hosted by the inaugural committees, so the special is effectively replacing that coverage.
"This inauguration presents a unique opportunity to spotlight the resilience and spirit of an America United," said PIC CEO Tony Allen in a statement. "We have witnessed countless heroes this past year step up to the frontlines and serve their fellow Americans, so we are telling their stories, spreading their collective light, and celebrating the best of our country and its people with this prime-time program. Our first priority is safety — so while many of us will be watching safely from our homes, we are creating real moments of connection that highlight a new inclusive American era of leadership that works for and represents all Americans."
The PIC is also continuing to fundraise for its efforts, including hosting a panel with castmembers from Scandal, The West Wing and Designated Survivor on Friday; as well as an "America United" event on Saturday and Monday's "United We Serve: A Celebration of the National MLK Day of Service."
Jan. 15, 4 a.m.: Updated with additional performers, events.
Jan. 14, 6:57 a.m. Updated with additional appearances.

When it comes to the most common bad habits in the world, there is no doubt that you have been told by your parents to never ever try getting on them as you will just be putting yourself in a lot of trouble.

Market Rasen and Louth RFC registered their fourth win in five matches as they demolished a below-par Ilkeston on Saturday.
The Red and Greens opened the scoring in the 20th minute following a five-metre scrum when Dan Robinson's lunge was just enough to reach the line for the opening try.
Robinson added the conversion before suffering a reverse of fortune five minutes later when his kick was charged down by Ryan Gee.
The Ilkeston flanker gathered the ball and surged in under the posts, leaving a simple conversion for Joel Haigh to level.
But the visitors then took a firm grip of the match and restored their lead when Nick Harvey sprinted up the touchline to score in the corner after good work among the forwards created field position.
A strong charge from workhorse Chris Mills then caused panic in the Ilkeston ranks with would-be tacklers brushed aside as he careered upfield.
Smart recycling retained possession before unleashing the backline where Paul Gutteridge was held up over the line after an incisive run to give Rasen another attacking five metre scrum.
From there Robinson repeated his earlier score, followed by the conversion to give Rasen a 19–7 half-time lead.
Full of confidence and now playing down the slope, it took Rasen just three minutes to score again and secure a try bonus point.
Put into a scrum deep in their own 22, Ilkeston just managed to keep the ball as their creaking pack went backwards.
But the Red and Green pressure on was too much and a turnover saw the ball spun wide for Tom Stephens to score in the corner.
Robinson was revelling in the steady stream of possession as he ran from deep and chipped over the advancing defence only to be brought to a halt prematurely with a tackle from Joe Marsden before he had reached the ball.
This earned the Ilkeston winger 10 minutes in the sin bin as Robinson drilled the penalty into touch within sight of the Ilkeston line.
The catch and drive almost effortlessly secured possession as Peter Everton came into the line from full-back to wrong-foot the defence and scamper in over the whitewash.
Another gaffe for Robinson ensued, despite his glittering display, as the youngster somehow missed the simple conversion as the ball skimmed the underside of the crossbar.
The sides were evened up four minutes later when Adam Dearden's ill-advised tip tackle earned the centre a yellow card, but Rasen's dominance was not diminished.
A further penalty kick to touch launched another catch and drive assault which saw Mills emerge from the maul to power his way over the line.
Robinson overcame his earlier embarrassment with a superbly struck conversion to extend the lead.
The Ilkeston forwards were visibly crumbling against a Rasen eight in full command with a scrum turnover setting the platform for Ben Chamberlin to pick up from the base.
The number eight drove into the heart of the home defence to pave the way for Gutteridge to cut through the wilting cover and get his name on the scoresheet.
Robinson added the conversion as the game slipped further away from the Elks.
As Rasen continued to play a more expansive style, quick ball off the top of a lineout sparked a training ground move, executed to perfection.
Young Spencer Holvey marked his first team debut from the bench with a perfectly timed run to enter the line from his blindside wing position.
Keeping a cool head, he delivered a wobbly, but accurate, pass for Everton to take in his stride and put Stephens away in the corner, much to the delight of coach Matt Sutton.
Three minutes later the referee ended the game a full seven minutes early following an Ilkeston injury.
This was a very encouraging performance with a clear will to play a more expansive game, resulting in all but one try scored by the backs.
With players to return from injury, Rasen should go from strength to strength and banish the misery of last season's relegation struggle.
Rasen: C. Starling, Alldridge, Southwell (Haig), Pilkington (Grant), Inman, Mills, Pryer, Chamberlin, M. Starling, Robinson, Stephens, Dearden, Gutteridge, Harvey (Holvey), P. Everton.
* Ninth-placed Rasen return to Willingham Road on Saturday for a stern test of their improvement against third-placed Kettering. Kick-off 2.15pm.


More than 900 women and men attended the biannual convention of Hadassah, the Women's Zionist Organization of America in Atlanta this past week--and several hundred of them attended sessions run by the Hadassah Foundation.
On Tuesday, the Foundation moderated a panel--"To be young, Jewish, female, and a Leader"--that featured several of our grantees. On Wednesday, Foundation Director Rabbi Ellen Flax led a study session on strong women in traditional Jewish texts. Both programs examined women's leadership, which is the main focus of the Foundation's grants in the United States.
Pictured above: top row, Foundation Directors Phyllis Silverstein, Lonye Rasch, Helaine Ohayon, Debbie Minkoff, and Liz Alpert. Bottom row: Panelists Rachel Glicksman, AVODAH; Rachel Wasserman, the Jewish Women's Fund of Atlanta; Noam Green, the Jewish Women's Archive; and Rabbi Ellen Flax, the Hadassah Foundation.
Chana German (above, right) runs a new Hadassah Foundation grantee--the Lookstein Virtual Jewish Academy. Many of the skills she needed to develop and run a successful nonprofit were honed as a Dual Investment Fellow at the Joshua Venture Group, a program for outstanding social entrepreneurs. Chana just finished the two-year program earlier this month, which concluded with a celebratory luncheon for the Fellows and funders in the Jewish community. During the luncheon, Chana told the crowd how the program helped her become a better nonprofit manager and learn the "business side" of running an enterprise--in her case, an organization that develops virtual Judaic studies classes for day schools and religious education programs. With her new grant from the Foundation, Chana will create (along with another JVG Fellow in her cohort) an online course on women's leadership for high school girls that fuses classical text study of Biblical women leaders with practical leadership skill building.

Heimat (parola tedesca che indica la casa o il luogo natio) è una serie di film diretti dal regista tedesco Edgar Reitz.

Introduzione
A partire dalla fine degli anni settanta Reitz, regista appartenente alla scuola del cosiddetto Nuovo cinema tedesco (movimento a cui appartengono tra gli altri Wim Wenders, Rainer Werner Fassbinder e Werner Herzog), iniziò un progetto che voleva ricostruire la storia del Novecento tedesco. Da qui nacque il progetto Heimat, partito nel gennaio 1979 con l'inizio della stesura del soggetto da parte del regista, e proseguito fino al 2013, con l'uscita del prequel Die Andere Heimat - Chronik einer Sehnsucht, raggiungendo così la durata complessiva di circa 59 ore.

I film
 Prologo - Storie dai villaggi dell'Hunsruck (Geschichten aus den Hunsrückdörfern, 1981) è un documentario realizzato da Reitz durante la pre-produzione di Heimat. Viene considerato un prologo della trilogia.
 Heimat (Heimat - Eine deutsche Chronik, 1984) affronta, attraverso la famiglia Simon di Schabbach, un arco di tempo che va dal 1919, cioè dalle macerie della prima guerra mondiale, al 1982. È composto da 11 episodi, per una durata totale di 15 ore e 40 minuti.

Copre il periodo che va dal 1960 al 1970. È composto da 13 episodi, per una durata totale di 25 ore e 32 minuti.
 Heimat 3 - Cronaca di una svolta epocale (Heimat 3 - Chronik einer Zeitenwende, 2004) racconta il ritorno di Hermann Simon a Schabbach, l'invecchiamento e il problema dei figli che crescono senza un futuro certo, nel periodo che va dal 1989 al 2000. È composto da 6 episodi, per una durata totale di 11 ore e 39 minuti.
 Epilogo - Heimat-Fragmente: Die Frauen (2006) è incentrato sul personaggio di Lulu Simon; attraverso i suoi ricordi si ripercorre la storia di tutta la saga, con particolare attenzione alle varie figure femminili. È un unico episodio, della durata di 2 ore 26 minuti.
 L'altra Heimat - Cronaca di un sogno (Die Andere Heimat - Chronik einer Sehnsucht, 2013) è ambientato nel XIX secolo ed è incentrato sulla storia di due fratelli che sognano di andarsene dal villaggio di Schabbach.

Urbana University was founded in 1850 by followers of the 18th century Swedish philosopher and scientist, Emanuel Swedenborg. The university was the second institution of higher learning in Ohio to admit women; the first was Oberlin College. The groundwork for the founding of the university was in part laid by John Chapman, better known as Johnny Appleseed, who became the inspiration for the Johnny Appleseed Museum founded for his extraordinary history. While more famous for spreading apple seeds throughout the East, Chapman was also a Swedenborgian missionary and helped spread this faith among the early settlers around Urbana. Chapman encouraged his friend and fellow Swedenborgian, John Hough James, to donate the land on which Urbana University was built. To this day, the University maintains an informal relationship with the Swedenborgian General Convention of the Church of the New Jerusalem in the United States of America. The university is also home to the Johnny Appleseed Educational Center & Museum to honor John Chapman.
