Allana is pleased to announce that drill hole DK-11-16 intersected significant potash mineralization of 29.80% KCl over 4.00 metres starting at a depth of 125.20 metres. Hole 16 intersected two strong zones of potash mineralization which are interpreted to correlate with the Sylvinite Zone and Kainitite Zone in a previously unexplored part of the basin. The Sylvinite Zone returned 6.50 metres of sylvinite which graded 24.79 % KCl and includes a 4.00 metre interval that returned 29.80% KCl. Further down the hole, 5.00 metres of kainitite was intersected which returned 20.29% KCl.
Farhad Abasov, President and CEO, commented: "We are very pleased with the identification of new potash mineralization in the southwestern part of the property. This region was previously unexplored with no previous drilling. Management intends to incorporate data from Hole 16 in the Company's new National Instrument 43-101 technical report, expected to be issued on or about the end of May, 2011."
Hole 16 was collared approximately 1,000 metres southwest from Hole 8 and was drilled vertically (see attached figure). Hole 16 intersected the Sylvinite and Kainitite zones of potash mineralization as defined by the Parsons drilling in the 1950s and 1960s. The Sylvinite Zone returned 6.50 metres grading 24.79% KCl starting at a depth of 125.20 metres. A high grade core of 4.00 metres of sylvinite returned 29.80% KCl. A robust Kainitite Zone was intersected at a depth of 168.20 metres and returned 5.00 metres grading 20.29% KCl.


Every 2016 combined rates mentioned above are the results of Arizona state rate (5.6%), the county rate (1.1%), the Arizona cities rate (2.4%). There is no special rate for Apache Junction.
The Apache Junction's tax rate may change depending of the type of purchase.
There is 2 out of 7 zip codes in Apache Junction that are being charged city sales tax for a ratio of 28.571%.

Different coffes
Ethiopia (naturally processed)
For many, naturally processed Ethiopians (also called "dry-processed") are a gateway drug into specialty coffee. Just grinding this coffee fills the room with blatant blueberry aroma, and that flavor comes through in the cup as well. The blueberry flavor in naturally processed Ethiopian coffees is the most unmistakable flavor characteristic in the world of coffee, you cannot miss it. In addition to blueberry, look for strawberry, artificial grape flavor (like a purple ice pop), muffin, and cream cheese. Another thing that sets natural Ethiopians apart is the creamy texture and the fact that this coffee packs tremendous fruit flavor without overwhelming acidity. People who are into coffee generally think of acidity as a good thing, average coffee drinkers… not so much. Natural Ethiopians are a win for everyone.
That's right, Ethiopia has the first AND SECOND most identifiable coffee flavor profile of all the coffees on Earth. 🏆🎉 Surprisingly, washed Ethiopian coffees taste completely different from naturally processed coffees, even from the same farm. They have three dominant flavors. Tea, lemon citrus, and florals, with every coffee presenting these flavors in different proportions. The dry aroma is striking, and after smelling it once or twice you should be able to recognize it 85% of the time (assuming it's not too dark). Some of the best washed Ethiopians also present secondary flavors of peach, bergamot, Froot Loop lime, and honeysuckle. This coffee is very light, and some people dismiss it at first saying "I didn't come here to drink tea". To which I say "good, more for me". If you don't like your first one, try a few. It will grow on you.
Right next door to Ethiopia, Kenya has an exceptionally distinct flavor profile all its own. Almost always, Kenyan coffee has a syrupy thick mouth coating quality with dominant flavors of tomato stew and raisin (or other dried fruit). Some of the best Kenyan coffees will also offer grapefruit and bubblegum. This coffee is divisive though, as the acidity/sourness is very prominent, especially in the higher quality offerings. Chocolate is also not uncommon, which combines with the raisin for a really nice Raisinette flavor.
Burundi, Rwanda & the rest of Africa
Generally speaking, coffee from the rest of Africa tastes like it's from Kenya, but not as distinct. While there are some standouts which really wow us with interesting flavors like ginger and winter spice, it's a more challenging region to buy coffee from.
There's one variety of coffee grown in Panama called Geisha (or Gesha). It's generally the most expensive coffee in the world, and particularly favored by coffee professionals competing in barista competitions. Production is evenly mixed between natural and washed, but the dominant flavors are generally floral, with honeysuckle and bergamot standing out the most. Other coffee from Panama is not like Geisha, and Geisha from other countries is not like the product of Panama. But because it's so expensive, you're probably best off waiting for a special occasion to try this one. It's too expensive to have every morning.
Indonesia (ex Papua New Guinea)
Indonesian coffee is known for its heavy (almost sandy) body, and an earthy, woody flavor. It is very distinct, but not a go-to choice for most coffee people because acidity and complexity can be lacking. However, we have had some recently that present really nice tropical fruit flavors, cinnamon, and cola. So it's worth trying given the opportunity!
All coffee from Yemen (that's we've seen) is naturally processed, and so it has a certain wildness to it. The region has a bad habit of producing coffee that tastes like a barnyard. But when they get lucky and produce good coffee, it's exceptional. Dominant flavors are probably sandalwood, nutmeg and cinnamon spice, and berry.
Colombia is our favorite growing region in the Americas. There isn't necessarily one flavor profile that really stand out, but the best coffees from colombia have cola, cherry, orange, vanilla, chocolate, florals, and maybe even apple flavors. It also can have excellent sweetness and balance. If you're getting a ton of complexity but don't think the coffee is from Africa, chance are Colombia is a good guess.
Coffees from Nicaragua stand out for almost always having a very pleasant tobacco flavor. I'm assuming that's because tobacco is grown nearby.
Brazil & Mexico
In the Americas, the further away from Colombia you move, the more complexity is lost. What's left behind is usually chocolate and nuts (mostly peanut). Brazil is as far south as coffee production goes, and Mexico is as far north. Both regions produce somewhat similar cups. The best examples will have decent sweetness and acidity, with a chocolate and peanut combo reminiscent of peanut butter cups. They can be really nice. But they can also taste like cardboard or newspaper. Many are used as fillers for dark roasted espresso blends.
Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, & Costa Rica
Coffee from these regions are very difficult to tell apart. I sometimes get miso or seaweed as a flavor, which is a giveaway, but usually they just taste like they're somewhere between Colombia and Mexico. It's all a blur.

This winter, I went on exchange as part of my undergraduate studies. I spent four months studying, working and travelling in Europe, with Paris being my home-base. Outside of being extremely excited to see Europe for the first time, I was also eager to connect with the art centre of the world and practice photography.
Having overcome some personal challenges just prior to leaving, I felt hopeful that exchange would bring a positive change to my life and help me to find a sense or purpose, or direction. Not surprisingly, both of these things happened. While it is hard to distill all my experiences, I have tried my best - here are the realizations that changed and guided me.
Here are two stories that taught me to value second-guessing myself. Having experienced these two fortunate events, I now take it upon myself to say yes more often.
I made a good friend on exchange - Boss. Boss and I would regularly visit museums and scout for different places to shoot photos. I could count on him to have my back more than my own roommate. But I almost never gave Boss a chance. When I first met Boss I thought he was a pretentious rich kid. He had 300€ loafers and his hat on backwards. What kind of name is Boss anyways? Still, he offered to hang out and I hesitantly agreed. I'm glad I didn't shut Boss down. The time we spent together accounted for some of the most interesting things I've done on exchange, that I would have never considered doing on my own.
I also had a very rewarding internship during my exchange. I worked from the American Library in Paris, helping to host evening events and photograph their speakers. Once, while traveling through Italy, I got put on assignment to photograph in the kitchen of celebrity chef David Lebovitz. I was ecstatic. But I almost never made it out to the Library (funny enough, I also got lost on the way there). My school had arranged a Saturday tour and no one signed up to go. I was interested in seeing the Library, but didn't want to miss out on whatever activity the other students were doing. In the end, I reassessed my priorities and went anyways. I'm glad I made that first trip. The time I spent working at the Library helped me integrate with the local community and gave me a sense of purpose to my time on exchange.
learning to manage my feelings when there was no one to turn to. When we live with our family or our partner, we can depend on them to give us affirmation and physical touch. Without this, it's easy to turn on ourselves or others for not knowing how to address negative emotions. Whenever this happened, I found it useful to think along these lines: in difficult situation, the only variable you have control over is yourself, so do your best to stay positive. If I am sad tonight, tomorrow I can start fresh and try to move past whatever it was that saddened me. If not, I can learn to coexist with these unpleasant feelings and still say yes experiencing new things. it's important that once you have gotten into the habit of thinking positively, to stay positive. It felt rewarding to know that my positivity benefited the people around me on exchange, as others looked to me for advice.
* living alone is used loosely in context here. I had a roommate who was also my classmate and we had a good dynamic together.
While this is far less serious in scope that the previous two, I am really proud of this one.
In Toronto, I proudly identify myself as a commuter. As such, walking has never fazed me but travelling put that to the test. What started out as walking everywhere out of necessity eventually became walking everywhere by choice. The pedometer app on my phone was going off the charts. Walking long distances daily helped me become more confident in my physical abilities and more self-sufficient. I felt challenged to be more active, and found inspiration in all the people exercising in the beautiful parks and public spaces in Paris. Having returned from exchange, I took the next step and started running. While it is not much, it is a big deal for me. I had never enjoyed running up until now. With the early stages of training behind me, I am feeling quite accomplished to participate in my first 5k this month.

Why Our Healthcare System Must Make Prevention a Priority
Dec 28, 2010 | News | 0 comments
From The New York Times:
It Was Benign, but Almost Killed Him
By JENNIFER S. CHANG, M.D.
William Siewert almost died from an enlarged prostate.
Not prostate cancer, just a "benign" enlarged prostate. He is yet another example of the people who fall victim to our currently broken health care system. He agreed to share his story in the hope that someday cases like his would be rare exceptions.
Mr. Siewert, a 61-year-old native of San Francisco, had been living in Idaho for the past 10 years to care for his disabled girlfriend. He had to give up his job as a truck driver — and along with it, his medical insurance — but he did so willingly so his girlfriend could remain in her home as long as possible.
He had started noticing urination problems five years after he moved to Idaho. His urine stream had gotten weaker, and he had to get up frequently at night. Finally he went to see a urologist, who told him that he had benign prostatic hyperplasia and that his prostate would need to be "cut out."
Unable to come up with $10,000 for surgery, he was given a rubber tube and instructed to insert it into his penis twice a day to empty his bladder.
He left the urology clinic dejected and never returned. Instead, he found a small free clinic two hours away. There he was given a drug to try to shrink his prostate.
The medicine seemed to help, but because of the long drive he had trouble returning for follow-up visits. He continued to empty his bladder with the rubber tube. He was constantly nauseated, so much so that he lost 50 pounds.
Click here to read the rest of the story.
Unfortunately, William Siewert's story is an all too familiar one. His story exposes everything that is wrong with a healthcare system that doesn't help every American seek treatment for illness before it becomes horribly unmanageable or worse. When people are forced to put off treatment or forgo it altogether because they can't afford it, care becomes much more expensive later on.
But what happened to Mr. Siewert and millions like him shouldn't happen in the wealthiest nation on Earth. The collective health of Americans is worse off because many of our neighbors can't get the care they need in a timely fashion. We would save more money and more lives if we treated preventive health care as a right available to everyone.


Born 1888 in Seine-Maritime -FRANCE. Died 1965.
Joseph-Albert-Alfred Moindre was a commercial real estate broker in Paris. He got married in 1911. He soon became interested in metaphysics, and through his research got to visit a number of churches. He was initiated to spiritualism and developed a passion for ancient Egypt. He loved reading books about this civilization and soon refered to himself as an Egyptologist.
His personal life changed, he became despotic and authoritarian. His wife and friends abandoned him one after the other. He found himself alone.
In 1942, at the age of fifty-two, he started drawing sights of Paris, then scenes inspired by his own metaphysical beliefs. He brought together Christian, Jewish and Egyptian themes : temples covered with hieroglyphic inscriptions, interspersed with representations of Moses and Christ, pharaohs and mysterious figures with three heads. Labyrinth like temples with unusual perspectives, stairs leading nowhere, they are all a testimony of his free style which goes beyond the themes he represents. At the age of sixty-eight, left with no money, Moindre moved into a home for ex-service men. He became weak and could no longer paint. He died in a hospital in 1965.

The Opposition: Houston looks to get back in the win column against USF
By Armando Yanez November 10, 2020

Coming off a tough 38-10 loss to No. 6 Cincinnati last week, Houston will look to get back in the win column when it hosts USF Saturday afternoon at TDECU Stadium.
The Cougars' (2-3, 2-2 American Athletic Conference) last two games have shown their defensive struggles to hold off high-powered offenses both through the air and ground, having allowed 500 or more total yards in each game.
Houston now catches a break playing against teams in the top half of the conference as it prepares to face an inconsistent USF team sitting at the bottom of the AAC standings.
This is what the Cougars have to look forward to come Saturday:
The Bulls' season so far
The Bulls (1-6, 0-5 AAC) are coming off a heartbreaking loss, losing a hard fought battle late in the fourth quarter 34-33 on the road against Memphis.
USF started its season on the right foot, picking up a 27-6 victory over The Citadel in its first game of the season under first year head coach Jeff Scott.
Since then, the Bulls are winless through six games, having been outscored 239-114, including being shutout 52-0 by No. 2 Notre Dame in their second game of the season.
Just as the USF defense has had its issues stopping its opponent, the Bulls' offense has had their difficulties as they rank last in the conference in scoring offense, second-to-last in total offense and third-to-last in passing and rushing offense.
USF started the season with sophomore quarterback Jordan McCloud, who has thrown for 757 yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions through the first six games of the season before being benched early in its 42-13 loss against Tulsa.
Scott has now handed the keys to the offense to senior quarterback Noah Johnson, who saw the field several times early in the season before starting last week against Memphis.
Johnson has thrown for 459 yards, three touchdowns and one interception in six games for the Bulls this season.
Despite its losing record, recent weeks have shown that USF is capable of competing through four quarters, having lost two of their last three games by two points or less.
However, USF has yet to pick up a conference victory this season, making the Bulls the only winless team in the AAC.
What to watch for
As for matchups, this game favors the Cougars' defense who, after facing two of the top four offenses in the AAC, will meet a USF offense that has struggled heavily with getting consistent production from its quarterbacks.
The Bulls offense will try to take advantage on the ground as the Cougars have allowed a combined total of 695 rushing yards and seven rushing touchdowns over their last two games.
Before struggling against UCF and Cincinnati, Houston junior quarterback Clayton Tune had thrown for 300 yards or more in each of the Cougars first three games to go along with seven touchdowns with two interceptions.
Tune will look to get back on track but will face a USF pass defense that ranks third in the AAC, holding its opponents to 220 passing yards per game this season.
Overall, this will be a matchup between two struggling offenses and defenses, although the numbers could lie in favor of the Cougars, especially at home.
This conference matchup is set to kick off at 2:00 p.m. CT at TDECU Stadium and will be aired on ESPN+.

Microsoft unveils cloud-mounting SQL Server
'New generation' of Visual Studio tools promised
By Gavin Clarke 9 Nov 2010 at 16:45
The next installment of Microsoft's SQL Server story starts Tuesday, with plans for easier-to-use programming apps for on-site servers and the cloudy SQL Azure.
Microsoft is scheduled to make available for download the first preview of Denali, the code name for the next version of SQL Server, to subscribers on MSDN and TechNet. The Community Technology Preview will be released at the annual Professional Association for SQL Server conference in Seattle, Washington.
Denali introduces Juneau, what Microsoft is calling a "new-generation" Visual Studio development tool for SQL Server that will bridge the gap between building and deploying apps for on-site and on cloud.
Quentin Clark, general manager Microsoft SQL Server Database Systems Group, said the goal is to make developing for SQL Azure and on-site SQL exactly the same, and to do so as soon as possible.
"We have this surface area of T-SQL, but in Danali we are starting to add very specific model and build capabilities in the development tools to let people develop to one surface area that's deployable on and off premises," Clark told The Reg.
SQL Server and SQL Azure share a core relational database management system (RDBMS), but programming apps for them is slightly different. If you are very prescriptive in how your SQL Server app should work, it likely will hit problems in SQL Azure.
If you use Data Definition Language (DDL) to specify where a log file should go in SQL Server on premises, for example, your app likely won't work in the Azure cloud because SQL Azure already takes care of where log files should be deployed. That's because Microsoft has tried to abstract away such details to make programming for its cloud easier.
Juneau — which will be demonstrated at PASS on Tuesday — will let devs do offline validation of apps, and will feature a table designer and query function that'll work with Visual Studio's Intellisense. Developers will be able to tell in real time as they build or package an application what potential problems they might hit when moving their app to the cloud, Clark promised.
Juneau will initially ship as a set of plug-ins to Visual Studio 2010, and will be folded into the next edition of Microsoft's development environment.
Denali chucks in some other cloud wrapping, but the real meat is in improved mission-critical performance for apps and some new business intelligence (BI) capabilities.
There's new columnar technology called Apollo, which Clark claimed could boost certain queries by between 10 and 50 times. Apollo puts algorithms into the database engine from the VertiPak storage engine used in Excel to compress and manage millions of rows of data in memory.
And then there's Crescent, a web-based data visualization and presentation feature to let the suits easily built interactive charts, graphs, and reports. It provides a reporting element to the work done in SQL Server 2008 R2's Project Gemini for "self-service" BI, which became SQL Server PowerPivot for SharePoint 2010 — an Excel plug-in for SQL Server 2008 R2.
A new service. SQL Server AlwaysOn, is an online support and analysis tool that provides best practices and is designed to help SQL Sever users troubleshoot configuration problems. It covers high-availability and disaster recovery, spanning reliable secondaries, multiple secondaries, faster failover and better reconnect and retry.
Also, Microsoft has announced a planned service codenamed Atlanta that will allow users to oversee their SQL Server configuration to — Microsoft said — ensure best operational practices.
While it looks to Denali, Microsoft is also finishing up on the most recent release of SQL Server. Microsoft will announce general availability of its SQL-Server appliance, SQL Server R2 Parallel Data Warehouse edition, targeting customers with hundreds of terabytes of data running on pre-configured iron from server giants. Coming with Data Warehouse edition is Microsoft's Critical Advantage Program, which provides dedicated support.

At the age of seventeen, Omar knew that he wanted to make a difference in the hair industry; that is what inspired him to go to NYC. Even then, he knew that solid training was what he needed to be a success. His first job was on Fifth Avenue, working for Sergio Valente. It was there that he learned that Frederick Fekkai was the leader in the hair industry. It wasn't long before Omar made his way to the Frederick Fekkai Salon at Bergdorf Goodman.After years of working on many celebrities, and doing many fashion shows such as SEVENTH ON SIXTH, and much editorial work, it was no surprise that he was ready to take on yet another challenge. He was introduced to Jose Eber' of Beverly Hills and was asked not only to lend his talents as a top stylist, but also to take on the role of Salon Director at his first East Coast salon in Westchester. Nine years and much success later, Omar was ready to take on the ultimate challenge … opening a business of his own.
"I like stylish, but natural looking hair," Omar says. "Women have such a natural beauty; all I have to do is find out what motivates them and bring it out, not only in their hair, but also in the way they feel about themselves". With Omar "it is a package deal", so it's not unlikely for him to tell you that "you have to soften up your hair color", or that "your lipstick isn't working for you". It all has to look beautiful, soft and sophisticated. He starts his journey with each client by listening to their needs and concerns. "It's not about me, it's about my client," he says, and "while I execute my job, I never lose sight of what their needs and concerns are". The same applies to Omar's male clientele. Bringing out the best in someone is what it's all about, whether you are a man or a woman. Omar gives everyone the chance to look their best all the time. There simply is no reason not to.
Rocco, aka the Ray Donavan of hair, began his career working for celebrity hair stylist Jose Eber, where he became an integral part of the team at just 18 years of age. Over his 9 years there, Rocco became widely known for his precision cutting skills and signature wash and wear haircuts for men and women. What sets him apart is his attention to detail and masterful eye for proportion and beauty. Passionate about his work, he is adamant about keeping up with the latest trends and cutting techniques. Traveling to Paris, Spain, and Italy with the creative forces behind L'Oreal, he studied hands-on with the best in the world. In 2005, Rocco joined forces with Omar Roth to open Salon O in Greenwich, CT. Ten years strong, Rocco and Omar lead a team of over 30 of the most talented people in the beauty industry, and have recently expanded to meet the demand of their ever-growing clientele.

Books that will delight, make you think, and yearn to travel.
Have you ever wondered what it's like to solo travel, to travel while Black, or to live in Sweden as a person of color? Those are just a few of the topics explored in the fascinating titles below. Also delved into are the many joys of Italy, life lessons after the pandemic, and how to take a point-to-point civil rights history tour of our southern United States.
As you will see, few authors have approached these subjects from quite the same angles or with the matching accuracy and delight as these marvelous writers. The books are bound to augment your end-of-the-year reading lists. They will also work as gift ideas for friends or even yourself. So, enjoy, and happy traveling.
'Catch Me if You Can' by Jessica Nabongo
In October 2019, Nabongo, a travel writer and photographer, completed a journey as the first Black woman on record to travel to 195 countries around the world. In this lively and captivating memoir, she reveals her top 100 global experiences from that tremendous undertaking, which begins in Detroit, Michigan, where Nabongo was born.
From Motor City, the author takes us everywhere, from dog sledding in Norway and swimming with humpback whales in Tonga to sunbathing in Venezuela and hanging out in Cuba's Old Havana. One of the key insights Nabongo gathered from her excursions was that "neither race, gender, social class, religion, sexual orientation…nor nationality makes you better than the next person."
'In Every Mirror She's Black' by Lọlá Ákínmádé Åkerström
In this nuanced and often funny novel, Åkerström delves into the lives of three Black women in America and Sweden: Muna is a Somali immigrant who dreams of becoming an accountant, despite the loss of her entire family and her being a janitor in an office building; Kemi, whose dating life "reads like a dossier of shame," is a Nigerian-American who works in a marketing firm; and Brittany-Rae is a beautiful ex-model and Black American flight attendant who catches the eye of a Swedish multi-millionaire.
The author laudably explores the challenges that this trio of smart and resolute women sometimes have to face in Swedish society. Åkerström also expertly brings food into her pages, such as those succulent-sounding "freshly baked brioche buns" at a Washington, D.C., restaurant or a woman enjoying "pan-fried root vegetables and broccoli rabe" in the first-class section of a plane.

'Be the One You Need: 21 Life Lessons I Learned While Taking Care of Everyone but Me' by Sophia A. Nelson
Nelson, an award-winning writer and leadership trainer, offers nearly two-dozen "life lessons" that she has learned in these often perplexing, post-pandemic times. In her splendid introduction, Nelson speaks about the importance of self-care and how it makes us happier and better spouses, employers, lovers, and neighbors.
Some of her advice is run-of-the-mill ("Control Your Anger Before It Controls You"), but others, such as "Trust Your Intuition—It is Rarely Wrong" and "Protect Your Peace—It is the Passport to Your Soul" are practical and insightful. Nelson reads the audio version of this book herself, and it is especially engaging. The Virginia local writes for The Huffington Post and Newsweek and appears regularly on MSNBC.
'Traveling Black: A Story of Race and Resistance' by Mia Bay
Bay gives us an insightful history of travel segregation for Black people from the late 19th century to the 1960s. Segregation was a shameful aspect of American history and Bay's research shows how there were those rare individuals and businesses (whether in Vermont, South Carolina, or Alabama) who treated Black travelers with normalcy and even compassion.
You'll come away from Bay's book with the realization that for every Rosa Parks, who courageously refused to give up her seat to a white man on a Montgomery, Alabama bus in 1955, there were countless and unknown Black men and women in segregated America who lived and traveled with determination, resistance, and dignity. The author is the Roy F. and Jeannette P. Nichols Professor of American History at the University of Pennsylvania.
'Traveling Freedom's Road: A Guide to Exploring Our Civil Rights History' by John J Hanrahan
In this 500-plus page work, Hanrahan delivers a superb guide to visiting numerous historic Civil Rights sites throughout the southern United States. Though massive and multi-layered, the book reads conversationally, as Hanrahm gives us encyclopedic, five-state loop tours from Atlanta, Georgia (the birthplace and burial place to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.) to Selma, Alabama, with its "Bloody Sunday" church bombing on March 7, 1965.
Additionally covered are less-known but no less important places such as Daytona Beach, Florida, which was the home of philosopher Howard Thurman, educator McLeod Mcthune, and baseball legend Jackie Robinson. Parents will undoubtedly want to check out the section near the beginning of the book on "Preparing Children and Teens" for the journey. Hanrahan and his wife, Lisa, are retired and live in Charlottesville, Virginia.
'I'm a Pretty Little Black Girl Traveling 'Round the World' by Azalea Jordan
Jordan is a young entrepreneur and traveler. She wrote this book because she "wanted to show people how fun traveling can be." Indeed, she is simply amazed that some people "never leave their city." It is little wonder that Jordan has travel fever—her parents got her her first passport when she was eight weeks old!
The book's 70-pages have easy-to-read laid outs, with plenty of pictures and informative captions of each locale ("the grapefruit originated on Barbados" and Cattewatch Beach, which is also on the island, is "known for its healing properties"). Some of the other places that the intrepid young Jordan has journeyed to include South Africa; Amsterdam, Netherlands; Okinawa, Japan; Dubai; and Albuquerque, New Mexico. Here are Jordan's two favorite things about airplanes: "personal television screens and the food."
'Traveling While Black' by Roobens Fils
This is an intriguing book on traveling as a person of color. Fils (who lives in France) points to the possible hidden messages behind such questions as "What country are you really from?" or "How long will you be staying?" Are concerns always warranted in those situations? As a frequent Black traveler, I can attest that such questions from the locals are—more often than not—for information, not menace.
Still, it pays to be alert to your intuition and surroundings, whatever your train ticket or passport takes you. Fortunately, the book is a mostly positive one, with plenty of anecdotes and humor. Regarding the latter, a Black acquaintance once told Fils that he would never go to China because "they are all racists over there." Fils quickly and marvelously replied, "Are you serious!? We are talking about a country of 1.5 billion inhabitants, 15 times bigger than France!"
'Solo Travel: Try It at Least Once' by Marilene Shane
This is an excellent, step-by-step guide to solo traveling, especially if you are not white, a woman, and heading to an international location. Shane covers everything from selecting a destination and the financial aspects of your trip to what to look for when you arrive and (yes!) how to address those inevitable moments of loneliness.
The author has traveled to over 25 countries over the past four years, with 11 being solo trips—which Shane prefers because "I am completely in control of what I do." She provides awesome tips for ensuring your safety, which should always be a concern when doing any global explorations. Shane is an international school leader, author, and speaker based in Dubai, United Emirates.
'The Black Girl's Guide to Living, Loving & Traveling Abroad' by Candice Adewole
While sitting at a cafe in Paris and drinking wine at 3 p.m. in the afternoon, Adewole, who's from California, felt that she had "found her place in the world." She also journeyed to, among other places, Madrid and Barcelona, Spain. She felt the same kind of peace in both locales. She then knew that "living in America just wasn't cutting for me anymore." With the help of an immigration attorney, Adewole promptly arranged for extended stays in Barcelona and Rome, Italy.
In this delightfully informative book, the author tells you how to do many of the very same things that she accomplished. Adewole provides cool travel hacks, shows you how to travel with children, clues you in on "where the fellas" are, and gives you practical information on what to do "when life happens abroad."

But do we really need to copy dst from first fragment.

You�ll see your usual $30 monthly charge and an adjustment to reflect the portion you�d used before you made the change to your account. Since you used your old plan for 15 days, the adjustment will be -$15 ($30 x 15/30 days).


In late 2018, the remit of the Senior Managers and Certification Regime (SM&CR) was extended to cover insurers. This saw insurance brokers and intermediaries transitioning away from the Prudential Regulation Authority's Senior Insurance Managers Regime and the Financial Conduct Authority's (FCA) Approved Persons Regime, which had previously driven their employee screening activities.
In line with other businesses across the financial services sector, it is the SM&CR that now guides insurers on the regular 'fit and proper' checks that they are required to undertake for employees performing regulated roles. Such checks are expected to consider an individual's honesty, integrity and reputation; their competence and capability within their role; and their financial soundness.
This move has also led to a shift in the balance of responsibilities between regulators and firms. Previously, the regulators were responsible for approving anyone involved in regulated activity. Now however, they are focusing their resources solely on individuals designated as Senior Managers or "material risk-takers".
For the other Certified Persons within a firm (previously known as Approved Persons), responsibility now falls on the firms themselves, meaning they will be expected to certify an individual's fitness and propriety for performing a role. After their initial certification, employers must continue to monitor whether their certified employees remain fit and proper, undertaking at least one review per year to determine whether the FCA would have any grounds for withdrawing an employee's certification. Employers will therefore become a de facto regulator, tasked with ensuring the appropriateness of their own regulated workforce.
Insurance distributors also need to be aware of the Insurance Distribution Directive (IDD), a relatively new European directive designed to provide consistent standards of conduct across the industry. In a similar vein to the SM&CR, this requires that all staff involved in the distribution of insurance be of good repute and with appropriate knowledge and ability. With the definition of insurance distribution extending to work undertaken on preparing or administering insurance contracts, law firms involved in this area will also be subject to this directive.
Returning to the subject of fit and proper checks, full details of the employers' regulatory requirements can be found in the FCA's 'Fit and Proper' sourcebook. It covers the requirements for recruiting new staff and for the ongoing assessment of the fitness and propriety of approved Senior Managers and all staff employed in Certification Regime functions.
The sanctions for non-compliance include publicly censuring a firm or imposing a financial penalty. The intention in both cases is to promote high standards of market conduct, to deter individuals from breaching the regulations and to demonstrate the benefits of compliant behaviour.
In terms of other checks employers may consider running, a search of the Cifas Internal Fraud database is often cited as a best practice check. Although only available to members of Cifas, this allows employers to check whether an individual's name appears on this database of people known to have been involved with internal fraud in the past.
Also, the FCA's "Guidance on financial crime systems and control", released in December 2018, highlighted annual open source internet searches (more commonly known as social media screening) on all staff as an example of good practice for ensuring ongoing compliance with regards to fitness and propriety and risk mitigation.
And finally, as with many sectors, we're seeing firms are moving away from accepting copies of candidate documentation as proof of address and identity for screening purposes. Instead, they're opting for more reliable and insightful electronic data checks and identity validation solutions.
Criminal record checks: We'll undertake the appropriate level of UK criminal record checks, subject to strict eligibility guidelines (Standard for senior management and controlled functions; Basic for certification functions and most other roles). We're also able to obtain overseas criminal records for candidates with an international background.
Employment history: We can verify a candidate's work history and references for the past six years, including checks on the existence and authenticity of all listed employers. We will also pursue FCA regulated references for SM&CR roles. Using our CV comparison service, we can also check for any discrepancies between the CV used to secure an interview and the subsequent findings of the full background check.
Financial Services Register check: We'll check an individual's status with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA), establishing their permissions, disciplinary history and waivers.
Cifas internal fraud database search: We'll check to see whether a candidate appears on the Cifas database of employees known to have committed fraud in the workplace.


Most are dark or dull cocoa, yet some are yellowish in shading. Small—0.5 to 5.5 mm. The curved thorax of the grown-up gives them a humpbacked appearance.
Distinctively short and flighty flight. Grown-ups have an impossible to miss propensity for quickly running crosswise over windows, television screens, tables, dividers and plant foliage. These flies are every now and again confused for "gnats."
A few animal groups feast upon organisms, while others are parasites of different creepy crawlies.
Hatchlings create in wet zones where natural material and standing water are available. Phorid hatchlings likewise create in creature matter. The whole life cycle keeps going 25 days or all the more, contingent upon the ecological conditions and the accessibility of nourishment.
The most evident indication of phorid flies is the grown-up flies. They frequently are watched humming around rooms and hastening crosswise over counters or different surfaces.
Phorid flies are otherwise called "sewer flies." To the stripped eye, phorid flies look like normal organic product flies in appearance, with bodies measuring 0.5 to 5.5 mm long. Phorid flies are frequently called "humpbacked flies." They are portrayed by their bumped thoraxes. Body tinge ranges from dark to cocoa to yellow. They are discovered everywhere throughout the world, yet support warm, tropical areas.
The phorid fly is likewise referred to locally as the leave and casket fly in light of the fact that it favors rotting, damp natural material as both a wellspring of sustenance and a prime site for laying eggs. They are additionally enamored with rotting fragile living creature and are known not dead creatures over decaying vegetable matter. Phorid flies are equipped for making manageable groups in boxes and are in this manner of enthusiasm to the measurable group Certain types of phorid flies are utilized as organic control specialists of flame subterranean insect.
Like most flies, the phorid fly experiences a complete four-stage life cycle including egg, larval, pupal and grown-up stages. Contingent upon species, temperatures and the friendliness of the earth, the phorid fly burns through 11 to 22 or more days to wind up grown-ups.


Dichroic Glass dates back to at least the 4th century A.D. It can be seen in the Lycurgus cup, a Roman glass beaker in the British Museum. This glass is made by using multiple ultra-thin layers of different metals (gold,silver), metal oxides (titanium, chromium, aluminum, zirconium, magnesium) and silica, giving the glass dichrooic optical properties. Then each piece is vaporized by an electron beam in a vacuum chamber. The vapor condenses on the surface of the glass in the form of a crystal structure. This scientific process results in gorgeous jewelry with unbelievable shine and reflections of vibrant colors in the glass. No two pieces of this handcrafted jewelry are ever exactly alike, making each piece uniquely your own.

The High Requirements for becoming a Realtor
Five Incredible Houses in the USA
There are thousands of incredible houses in the United States. They are famous, gigantic, beautiful, historical, and expensive, to name a few categories. Here are some of the best examples:
The Famous: The White House
The White House in Washington DC, where the President of the United States lives, is the country's most famous house. First occupied by John Adams in 1800, every US President has lived there since then. The Oval Office in the West Wing is the President's official workplace. The Vice President's office is in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. Blair House is for guests. Designed by architect James Hoban, the White House has six floors and a two-story basement, so there's plenty of space!
The Gigantic: Biltmore
George Washington Vanderbilt II erected Biltmore in the late 19th century. Descendants of the famous Vanderbilt family still own the enormous mansion. Modeled on the Château de Blois in France's Loire Valley, it has a floor area of 175 000 square feet. There are more than 250 rooms. Biltmore also contains a fabulous collection of art. It also has beautiful tapestries dating back to the 16th century. It is one of the biggest houses in America, and some say it's the best!
The Beautiful: Fallingwater
Many consider Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater the most beautiful house in America. The house is in the Laurel Highlands in Pennsylvania. Part of the house straddles a waterfall at Bear Run. The building was completed in 1935. Fallingwater has been a National Historic Landmark since 1966. The American Institute of Architects heaped praise on the house. In 1991 they said it was the best example of American architecture.
The Historical: Hearst Castle
In 1865, George Hearst bought 40 000 acres ofland around San Simeon in California. In 1919, his son William inherited it. He bought even more land until he owned about five times more of what his father left for him. Julia Morgan and Hearst built La Cuesta Encantada, "Enchanted Hill" in Spanish, on the land. Hearst moved away in 1947 because of ill health. Although the house was unfinished, it had 165 rooms, 123 acres of gardens, terraces, pools, and walkways. It is now known as the Hearst San Simeon State Historical Monument. A popular tourist attraction, it draws visitors from around the world.
The Expensive: The One
A property nicknamed "The One" hit the market in January 2021 at $340 million. An article in the Architectural Digest said it was the most expensive house in the United States. Developer Nile Niami's 105 000 square foot mega-mansion in Bel Air, California, is half a mile long. It has 21 bedrooms, 42 bathrooms, five swimming pools, a 30-vehicle showroom, a 30-seat movie theater, and a hair and beauty salon.
Have these incredible American homes inspired you?
If so, there are thousands of affordable but still beautiful and exciting houses that might interest you to buy. And think how much you'll save on maintenance costs! This is something you can think about when you are planning your trading on Fxforex.com.

A recombinant virus may occur naturally or be produced by recombining pieces of DNA using recombinant DNA technology.

Synthetic recombination

This may be used to produce viral vaccines or gene therapy vectors.

Natural recombination

The term is also used to refer to naturally occurring recombination between virus genomes in a cell infected by more than one virus strain. This occurs either by Homologous recombination of the nucleic acid strands or by reassortment of genomic segments. Both these and mutation within the virus have been suggested as ways in which influenza and other viruses evolve. An example of a recombinant virus is Western equine encephalitis virus (WEE), which is a recombinant virus between two other closely related yet distinct encephalitis viruses. In addition, reassortment is most important for pandemic influenza viruses.

One of the suggestions for a possible purchase motivation came from the website The Bachelor Guy, who suggests that this auction would make a great publicity purchase for a big company, or individual, who wants some big international exposure. The Bachelor Guy references the story of Barry Bonds, Matt Murphy and Marc Ecko, and the famous home-run ball.
Bonds' accomplishments place him among the greatest baseball players of all-time. He has a record-setting seven Most Valuable Player awards, including a record-setting three consecutive MVPs. He is a fourteen time All-star, eight time gold glove-winner and he holds numerous Major League Baseball records. He currently holds the all-time Major League Baseball home run record with 762, and is also the all-time career leader in both walks (2,558) and intentional walks (688). He holds numerous other records, including the single-season Major League record for home runs (73), set in 2001.
The hype surrounding Bonds' pursuit of the home run record escalated on May 14, 2007. On this day, Sports Auction for Heritage (a Dallas-based auction house) offered US$1 million to the fan that caught Bonds' record-breaking 756th-career home run. The million dollar offer was rescinded on June 11, 2007 out of concern of fan safety.
On August 7, 2007 at 8:51 PM PDT, Bonds hit a 435 foot (133 m) home run, his 756th, off a pitch from Mike Bacsik of the Washington Nationals, breaking the all-time career home run record, formerly held by Hank Aaron.
The fan who ended up with the ball, 22-year-old Matt Murphy from Queens, New York, was promptly protected and escorted away from the mayhem by a group of San Francisco police officers.
The record-setting ball was consigned to an auction house on August 21, 2007, and sold with a winning bid of USD$752,467 on September 15, 2007. The high bidder, fashion designer Mark Ecko, created a website to let fans decide its fate.
In September 2007, Ecko was the winning bidder in the auction for Barry Bonds' record-breaking 756th home run ball, paying $752,467 for it. To determine the fate of the ball, he started a website, www.vote756.com, which let visitors vote on what they think should happen to it. Visitors' choices were giving the ball to the Hall of Fame, branding the ball with an asterisk before giving it to the Hall of Fame, and putting the ball on a rocket to be launched into space. Over 10,000,000 votes were tallied in all.
On September 26th, 2007, on The Today Show, Ecko revealed that the public, voting with a 47% plurality, wanted to brand the ball with an asterisk and send it to Cooperstown. 34% wanted the ball sent to the Hall of Fame without an asterisk and only 19% wanted the ball to be shot into space.
I believe there was some controversy over alleged steroid use, hence the asterix and space options, read more at either of the Wikipedia links below.
The thing that truly amazes me is $750,000, for a baseball!! I have a soccer ball, an Aussie Rules football, and quite a few golfballs here too. I might go out to the sports store and buy a baseball too, assuming they stock them here!
Are you reading this, Marc Ecko?

Q: If $a$ is an element of a group and $|a| = n$ , prove that $ C_G(a)= C_G(a^k)$ If $a \in G$ and $|a| = n$, prove that $C_G(a)= C_G(a^k)$ where $\gcd(k,n)=1$. $C_G(a)$ refers to centralizer of $a$ in the group $G$.
Attempt : $x \in G$ and $x \in C(a) \iff  a x = xa ........ (1)$
Pre operating by $a^{k-1}$, we get : $a^k x = x a^k ........ (2)$
From $(1)$ and $(2)$ , we get that $C(a) \subseteq C(a^k) ..... (3)$
Now, since, $\gcd(a,k) = 1 \Rightarrow |a^k| = n$ and
$\langle a\rangle =\langle a^k \rangle$.
From here how do  I prove that $C(a^k) \subseteq C(a)$.
So that from $(3)$ and above statement I can conclude that $C(a) = C(a^k)$
Thanks

A: More generally, for any group $G$ and subset $S \subseteq G$, $C(S) := \bigcap_{s \in S} C(s) = C(\langle S \rangle)$. Since $a, a^k$ generated the same subgroup if $k$ is relatively prime to $|a|$, this gives the result you want.
An interesting question to think about is: what are necessary and sufficient conditions for $C(x) = C(y)$, for any $x, y \in G$? Or more generally, for two subgroups $H$ and $K$, when is $C(H) = C(K)$?

A mystery figure appears in New York of the future and finds himself at the ruins of the Xavier Institute walking among the corpses of dead X-Men. In the present, the young X-Men, stuck in the present, rescue a mutant boy and girl who can't seem to remember who they are, where they came from or how they ended up in an alley in Chicago speaking French. After taking them to the Institute, they decide to break up for the evening and enjoy the city. With Bobby at a show and Bloodstorm and Cyclops on a date, everything is fine until Ahab attacks the couple and severely wounds Bloodstorm.
Bobby is also attacked and is rescued from the mystery figure from the opening of the issue by Cable. It looks like the young X-Men are the target in this issue and the mystery figure is willing to do use whatever force it wants to stop Cable and secure Bobby. The force used and the tragedy that follows brings out the young X-Men, Rachel Summers, Nightcrawler and an angry adult Jean Grey who is determined to find out who murdered her son. It's a pretty intense moment for all of the characters, especially Scott, both Jeans and Rachel. The moment doesn't let up when the next scene shows who actually took Bobby and what his plan is for the rest of the mutants.
I tend to be worried about X-Men events, especially recently. They can be hit or miss as far as achieving something new and interesting story wise as well as something that can be character building for the mutants. At their best, they affirm what we love about the characters and expands them in a way that adds a new dimension to their story. At their worst, it's another mutant vs mutant conflict that doesn't do anything other than showcase a new or forgotten villain and lead to a "shocking" death. Brisson does a good job of drawing the reader in with this first issue and its story. I like that he gave characters moments to connect with what is happening from a family level. It makes me interested in how the Summers' deal with what happened together.
The art is great and I loved pretty much every panel in this book. There are some great shots that give the reader a visceral reaction and some subtle ones that allow for emotional connection. My favorite ones are the subtle ones like Scott kneeling next to Cable, Rachel breaking down and Jean's determination. A really good book that has a lot of potential in front of it.

PK to begin with a success
December 20, 2014 December 22, 2014 Admin1 0
The controversial and the most awaited movie, PK, was released yesterday on 19th of December, 2014. It has created an intrigue of another level and has made the audience to think to their wits.
The movie starring Aamir Khan and Anushka Sharma, has something unique in its name itself. The characters, plot, story, getup and everything in this movie is a bit different from the typical Bollywood movies.
This movie, even before its release, had always in the headlines because of the various controversies and delays. The controversy regarding its poster, where Aamir Khan stood nude, is one of them. However, these controversies kept the interest of the audience in the movie and its success can be well gauged from the opening that it got in the box office. There is a strong condemnation over its presence that most Bollywood movies have made but most of them have at receiving end.
Here, the director, takes similar subject and treats it in satirical and amusing mode, without dissecting the issue, the director effortlessly gives an outcome, which none of us would have ever thought of.
The Director of the movie, Raj Kumar Hirani, and the Producer, Vidhu Vinod Chopra, also launched a PK mobile game yesterday. Actor Aamir Khan and Anushka Sharma were also present at the time of launch. The game seemed very engaging and entertaining. Aamir and Anushka also tried their hands on it. The world of PK has been depicted in an adventurous form in the game that allows you to play as several roles of Aamir Khan that are being showcased in the movie. The game was launched yesterday at the Relaince Digital Store in Juhu, Mumbai. The main attractions during the launch were Raj Kumar Hirani, Vidhu Vinod Chopra, Siddharth Roy Kapur, Managing Director, Disney India and Sameer Ganapathy, amidst a huge fan crowd.
The movie, amidst the controversies, was successful in gathering the audience on the first day. Aamir Khan's work is being praised by the audience. The movie brings with itself a variety for the audience. The movie hopes for its bright future and its success. It will be interesting to see the heights which it can achieve.

Nel ciclo feniano della mitologia irlandese, Bébinn (talvolta scritto Bebhionn) è una bellissima gigantessa dal portamento aristocratico, che cerca protezione dai Fianna quando un brutto gigante la insegue.

Il nome Bébinn, piuttosto comune nell'antica Irlanda, è, nella stessa mitologia anche a quello di una divinità associata al parto, ma si tratta probabilmente di un personaggio distinto.

OPM Break-In an Object Lesson for CIOs
OPM Break-In an Object Lesson…
There are days when your only consolation is that someday, somewhere, your mistake might help prevent someone else's. The Federal government's Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has been having a bunch of days like that recently, which gives us all an opportunity to learn what to do differently.
It may have started as long as a year ago when hackers first broke into OPM systems, using credentials from a contractor, and installed malware that would enable them to steal data in the future.
"Hackers obtained a credential used by KeyPoint Government Solutions, a Colorado-based contractor that OPM uses to conduct background investigations of applicants for federal jobs that require a security clearance," explains Erin Kelly in USA Today. KeyPoint doesn't know how the employee's credentials were compromised, she continues. And multifactor authentication wasn't implemented.
The upshot is that personally identifiable information from anywhere from 4.2 million to 21 million Federal employees, job applicants, and contractors was stolen. That includes names, Social Security numbers, addresses, fingerprints, and so on. Apparently the data wasn't encrypted, in part because the hardware on which it was stored was so old—on the order of three decades—that encryption software for it didn't exist.
It turns out encryption wouldn't have helped much anyway, because the administrators responsible for managing the records had root access to the system, writes Sean Gallagher in Ars Technica.
And we only assume that data on employees was taken. "What if records were not only taken, but some were added as well?" writes Steve Ragan in CSO Online. "Would the OPM be able to tell? The attackers had at least a year of unchecked access on the network—plenty of time for someone to do whatever they wanted."
To make matters worse, the hackers apparently also stole data from Standard Form 86 and similar data, called "adjudication information." What is Standard Form 86? It's what you fill out when you have a security clearance, so they ask you all sorts of personal information looking for things that could potentially be used to blackmail you in the future. So the OPM databases included information on employees' friends and family as well.
"This did not have to happen," says Dr. Stan Stahl, president of the Los Angeles Chapter of the Information Systems Security Association (ISSA-LA) and the founder and president of Citadel Information Group, Inc., an information security management firm. "This was mismanagement. For that to have been allowed to happen, there's no excuse."
If the data actually got stolen as much as a year ago, apparently nobody's tried using it yet. Or if they are, nobody's talking about it.
It's even possible that data on classified employees was also stolen, because there was an effort after 9/11 to merge databases to make them easier to search—even though the classified agencies didn't want to do this because they were concerned about security. If that's the case, nobody's talking about that, either.
Altogether, 65 percent of OPM's data was stored on 11 major systems that had not been properly certified as secure and were run by OPM's own IT department, out of a total of 47, Gallagher writes. (Some systems were run by contractors.)
This has been a developing story for the past several weeks, which is why the number of people affected keeps rising. In fact, there are those who contend that 32 million people were actually affected—basically, anyone who's applied for a Federal job.
That's essentially 10 percent of the US population, writes Steven J. Vaughn-Nichols in Computerworld, going so far as to suggest that compromised people should all receive new Social Security numbers. "Any way you cut it, fixing this is going to take a minimum of tens of billions of dollars," he writes.
Another part of how the story has developed is how the break-in was discovered in the first place. The first story is that it was through EINSTEIN, a system run by the Department of Homeland Security to record, detect, and block cyber threats. Then a security vendor, CyTech Services, reportedly discovered the malware while it was doing a demo for OPM. Then OPM said, they'd discovered it themselves a few days before that, using a different vendor's product.
It does seem like, in one way or another, changes are likely at OPM. There have already been a series of Congressional hearings on the issue, and director Katherine Archuleta has resigned. Though finding out whom to blame isn't necessarily the most important part of this incident.
"Instead of hearings in D.C. that are focused on blame and attribution, perhaps there should be hearings to address budget cuts and the lack of proper security staffing in critical areas of the government," Ragan writes.
"Clearly, OPM long knew they had a major problem on their hands due to their reliance on out-of-date equipment and software," agrees Vaughn-Nichols in a piece for ZDNet. "They knew their obsolete IT infrastructure made them more vulnerable to hackers. And, they knew what the answer was. It's just too bad they couldn't get Congress to pay for it."
So now we get to the part where we talk about what we've learned to do differently.
If you've got a lot of personally identifiable information about people, encrypt it.
If it's on hardware that is too old to support encryption, put it on different hardware.
If you can't afford different hardware yet, at least don't hook the hardware up to the Internet.
Similarly, ensure that your records management software is up-to-date to support modern security techniques—and if it doesn't support them, find new software.
Limit the people who have access to passwords into the system.
Especially limit the people who have root access.
Log the times when that access is used, so you can see if they come at an odd time or from an odd place.
Implement multifactor authentication, so someone can't break in by just having a password.
Periodically run scanners looking for malware on your system.
If you need a cybersecurity expert, hire one right away.
To do this, CIOs—working with CISOs if they are separate positions—need
to talk to boards about security, Stahl says. "The most important thing is
that CIOs have got to find their way up to the executive office, the
boardroom," he says. "They've got to be able to explain security in ways
that management can understand. Boards need insight."
Look at the bright side: This is probably a great time to get that security budget line item funded.
