The Indecent Proposal: Susanna and the Elders, as seen by Tintoretto, Gentileschi and Benton
Susanna and the Elders by Tintoretto, 1557 AD
The apocryphal story goes like this: Susanna, a young, beautiful, married woman, was bathing in the privacy of her own garden when she was observed by two elder men. They approached her, saying they would accuse her of adultery if she did not have sex with them. She refused, was brought to trial, and almost convicted (death penalty to be applied), when the Prophet Daniel spoke up, saying that the men should be seriously questioned. The two men were separated and gave conflicting testimonies, proving themselves to be liars. Susanna was acquitted. Of course, who knows what shame the court of public opinion heaped upon her for having even been accused. (My suggestion: Move to Egypt and change your name.) Whether anyone ever learned anything by the incident, we do not know to this day; however, it became a popular theme for paintings. It is particularly interesting to see how a trio of painters, two male and one female, treated the subject. I'll start with Tintoretto (see painting above).
Okay, full disclosure, this is my favorite Tintoretto, more for the lush painting than for his representation of the story. In fact, this painting is more involved with the academic debates of the time: the Renaissance Paragon, about which was better, sculpture or painting, and the classic battle between Florentine drawing and Venetian color (disegno/colore paragone). Tintoretto, also known as Il Furioso, even had a sign in his studio saying, "The drawing of Michelangelo and the color of Titian." Obviously, it was his goal to combine the two. In this painting he does well at both, creating the lush, luminous beauty of the naked Susanna, the gleam of her vanity items (Vanitas representation was also a major concept at the time), the darkened closed feeling of her garden, and the brighter exterior beyond its confines. Tintoretto captures that private moment in which Susanna, her hair very stylishly braided, enjoys her solitary self-reflection (depicted literally by her mirror gazing), surrounded by her jewels, fine silk scarf, velvet bodice (tossed aside), pearls, and a gleaming silver pot, probably containing a perfumed ointment. As she is so consumed with her vanities, what she doesn't see, of course, are the two old men peering at her. I think Tintoretto uses that as the cautionary tale here about being too consumed with the vanities of life when there are more imminently important things to notice. In terms of the old men, the one in the front is a peeping Tom for sure, while the old man at the back has his eyes downcast, perhaps seeing a mother duck and her babies. That can be seen as a clue to what ideas might be in his head. So we leave Susanna in imminent peril, though still at least on her own property, her house nearby.
Susanna and the Elders by Artemisia Gentileschi, 1610.
In Artemisia Gentileschi's version of the story of Susanna and the Elders (1610), we see a very different approach. There is no suggested commentary on the conceptual aspects of art being debated, no paragons, and no moral judgments about vanity. Gentileschi cuts to the chase. The bathing woman clearly does not want anything to do with these two old men. Her head is down and turned dramatically away from them. Both her hands are raised in protest, and the left one has splayed fingers indicating shock at what is being said to her. Sneakily, one guy is whispering to the other what to suggest to Susanna, but not saying it directly to her himself (plausible deniability of guilt?) That raised left hand with fingers spread out also is an indication of fear. Yes, fear, and if you have ever seen Hitchcock's Psycho, you know what I mean. Gentileschi's very direct approach to what is going on doesn't focus on the spying, but on the indecent proposal and potential indecent act, the things that form the center of the trial that was to come.
Self Portrait of Artemisia painting as the Allegory of Painting, 1638-1639.
At this point it is necessary to look at a bit of biographical information on Artemisia Gentileschi (1593-1656). She was the daughter of a famous painter, Orazio Gentileschi, who encouraged his talented daughter, even hiring a colleague, Agostino Tassi, to tutor her. Unfortunately Tassi raped her, then continued to have sex with her under the guise that he would marry her and thereby protect her reputation. When it was discovered that he was already married, Orazio took him to court, where it was found that Tassi had had numerous affairs, planned to murder his wife, and steal some of Orazio's paintings. He was banished from Rome, though the sentence was not carried out. Artemisia, however, had suffered having thumbscrews applied to her fingers to prove she was telling the truth. Can you imagine painting after that?
Judith Slaying Holofernes by Artemisia Gentileschi, 1610
But she did, and with a direct ferocity when telling tales of women who took their revenge, like in her Judith Slaying Holofernes. So it is understandable that she would deal with the issue of the indecent proposal and not just the peeking.
Susanna and the Elders by Thomas Hart Benton, 1938
However, even dealing with the peeking can be done in a way to create a sense of menace. For that we can go to the 20th century and Thomas Hart Benton's version of Susanna and the Elders (1938). This is a Depression Era version, set like many of Benton's works in the middle of nowhere prairie, with the old men being probably two farm hands. Again we see them conspiring with one another, as they stand behind a tree. The focus, however, is on Susanna, here a nicely rendered, young woman with a 1930s hairdo and wedding ring, having undressed in a secluded spot in nature to bathe herself in the water. Unlike in the tale itself, she is not apparently in her own garden, hence not having her house nearby. Given that this is the 1930s, she might probably not even have a fixed address, and finding a secluded place to bathe might have been looked upon as a blessing. The key thing I see is that she has no where to run to should these men do more than just propose something indecent. How would she defend herself against the two of them? The shadowy, and beautifully rendered seclusion of this glen makes the two old men hiding behind the tree much more of a physical threat. Ironically, there is a church in the background, but in the distance. I can remember looking at this painting years ago when I would visit the museum in San Francisco, and I was always "creeped out" by the implication of what might happen.
In looking at these three painted versions of the tale, the storytelling in the paintings varies with the concerns of the times and the lives of the painters. Artemisia goes right for the important act in the story, the indecent proposal and Susanna's reaction to it. She pulls no punches about this being something that Susanna wants no part of. In Thomas Hart Benton's piece, Susanna is as yet unaware of the danger, and in Benton one feels that because of the setting, this could indeed turn out badly for her. A feeling of menace is present. And the Tintoretto? I almost wonder if this robust Venetian lady wouldn't have given these two old guys a piece of her mind, Italian style, before gathering her things, marching into her house, and slamming the door.
One final note: In the Biblical tale, the two old liars, who might have caused Susanna's execution, were themselves put to death for their misdeeds.

The Black Dove of Dodona
July 27, 2017 in pigeons, prophecy, Trees, Uncategorized | Tags: ancient, Dodona, dove, Greek, Herodotus, Oracle, prophecy, prophetess | by Wayne | Leave a comment
Everyone knows about the Oracle at Delphi—one of the most important sacred places of the classical world. Delphi was sacred to Apollo and it is where (in mythology) he slew the ancient giant python which vexed he and Artemis and donned the mantle of god of prophecy. However there was a much older oracle sight in the classical world. According to Herodotus it dated back to the second millennium BCE and Aristotle regarded it as the birthplace of the Hellenes (which is to say the origin point of the Greeks). It was arguably the second most important place of prophecy in the ancient Greek world. This was the great oracle at Dodona in Epirus. Archaeologists indeed date cult activity at the site back to the Mycenaean age. I found pictures of the great theater at Dodona (above) which is certainly awe-inspiring, and of the council house, where affairs of state were adjudicated, however I could not find pictures of the oracle. Perhaps it was a victim of Christian zeal, or maybe it just doesn't photograph so well after 4000 years.
The prophetesses of Dodona were known as peleiades ("doves) and they were priestesses of Zeus. Herodotus relates the myth of how their cult originated in the ancient depths of time:
"…two black doves [came] flying from Thebes in Egypt, one to Libya and one to Dodona; the latter settled on an oak tree, and there uttered human speech, declaring that a place of divination from Zeus must be made there; the people of Dodona understood that the message was divine, and therefore established the oracular shrine. The dove which came to Libya told the Libyans (they say) to make an oracle of Ammon; this also is sacred to Zeus. Such was the story told by the Dodonaean priestesses, the eldest of whom was Promeneia and the next Timarete and the youngest Nicandra; and the rest of the servants of the temple at Dodona similarly held it true."
Long-time readers know I am interested in dove iconography: it is one of the shared aspects of Hellenic pantheism and Judeo-Christian imagery (sharp-eyed readers will also note that a sacred oak appears into the story). I wish I could have found an ancient vase with the Dodona story on it–but maybe it just didn't translate into pottery. At any rate we will keep featuring these prophetic stories–they are leading up to an exciting surprise at the end of summer!
The Birth of the Scyths

Thanks MS Paint!
To celebrate the spooky season, we have been recounting the various fates of the brood of monsters descended from Echidna. While doing so, one aspect of the story has become glaringly apparent: more than half of the family of monsters was defeated by Hercules. Cerberus, Ladon, Orthrus, the Nemean Lion, the Hydra, the great Caucasian Eagle…the demigod bested them all as he bludgeoned and ripped his shining path through the world. (I haven't told the tale of Orthrus, the two headed dog who was best friend to the three-headed monster Geryon: suffice to say, during his tenth labor, Hercules killed the poor pooch.) One would expect a devoted mother to be enraged and thirst for vengeance. However there is a story about Hercules and Echidna meeting, and it seems the mother of monsters desired something very different from revenge. I'll turn the storytelling over to Herodotus. It is worth remembering that while people call Herodotus "the father of history", historians call him "the father of lies". He tells a great many thrilling stories but he probably made them up while he was binge drinking in his library…. Anyway, here is the passage from Book IV of the Histories of Herodotus (translated by George Rawlinson):
Hercules came from thence into the region now called Scythia, and, being overtaken by storm and frost, drew his lion's skin about him, and fell fast asleep. While he slept, his mares, which he had loosed from his chariot to graze, by some wonderful chance disappeared. On waking, he went in quest of them, and, after wandering over the whole country, came at last to the district called "the Woodland," where he found in a cave a strange being, between a maiden and a serpent, whose form from the waist upwards was like that of a woman, while all below was like a snake. He looked at her wonderingly; but nevertheless inquired, whether she had chanced to see his strayed mares anywhere. She answered him, "Yes, and they were now in her keeping; but never would she consent to give them back, unless he took her for his mistress." So Hercules, to get his mares back, agreed; but afterwards she put him off and delayed restoring the mares, since she wished to keep him with her as long as possible. He, on the other hand, was only anxious to secure them and to get away. At last, when she gave them up, she said to him, "When thy mares strayed hither, it was I who saved them for thee: now thou hast paid their salvage; for lo! I bear in my womb three sons of thine. Tell me therefore when thy sons grow up, what must I do with them? Wouldst thou wish that I should settle them here in this land, whereof I am mistress, or shall I send them to thee?" Thus questioned, they say, Hercules answered, "When the lads have grown to manhood, do thus, and assuredly thou wilt not err. Watch them, and when thou seest one of them bend this bow as I now bend it, and gird himself with this girdle thus, choose him to remain in the land. Those who fail in the trial, send away. Thus wilt thou at once please thyself and obey me."
Two of Echidna's human children by Hercules proved to be disappointments and were sent away, but Skythes, the youngest son was indeed capable of wielding Hercules' bow. Skythes stayed in the land, became its king, and fathered the race of the Scythians, a (real) tribe of people whom the ancient Greeks regarded as being descended from union of the the greatest Greek hero and a primordial monster! People who are familiar with the Scythians will be yelling and punching the air right now (because Scythians are just completely awesome), however, to quickly summarize; the fearsome Scythians were nomads of the Pontic-Caspian steppe. They were renowned for their formidable prowess at mounted warfare and for being general badasses. Roman historians described the Goths as Scythians. The Scottish even called themselves Scythians! in the 1320 Declaration of Arbroath, an open letter to the pope, the elite aristocrats of Scotland claim Scythia as their former homeland. It goes without saying they were binge-drinking in a library when they wrote that puppy.

Speaking of puppies, tomorrow, we wrap up this series with everyone's favorite child of Echidna…

What can students learn about viruses, virus mutation, vaccines, and the human immune system from this year's flu season? A free Lesson Plan for a middle school classroom activity helps teachers lead STEM exploration with real-world connections.
We are approximately midway into this year's flu season, and it is stacking up to be the most severe in several years in the United States. In a recent CDC Update (Jan 20, 2018), Dr. Dan Jernigan, Director of the CDC's influenza division, confirmed that the 2017-2018 flu season is similar in severity to the 2014-2015 season. Dr. Jernigan also noted that incidence of the flu has been high across the country simultaneously this year, which is different than in years past when outbreaks spread across the country, different areas seeing higher incidence at different times.
Looking at the bar chart above, students can observe and talk about the relative numbers of confirmed cases of different types of flu this year. It is important, too, to understand how these numbers are obtained. Do these numbers indicate every instance of the flu? Does everyone who has the flu go to the doctor? Why or why not?
Fighting Infections with Your Immune System: model the processes of the immune system to find out how the body responds to bacteria or viruses that cause diseases and to investigate the role of memory cells.
A great deal of data is available to the public on the CDC website, but does the data give a complete view of the flu season? Why or why not? Talk with students about the ways in which data is collected and generalized. What has to happen for a patient to be "counted" in a flu statistic? How might this alter the data? What changes might help create an even more accurate picture of a flu season or other health epidemic? What problems might arise with other methods of data collection?
All of these are great questions to stimulate classroom discussion. For additional hands-on exploration, have students make their own infographics to represent and explain the impact of this year's flu season.


Sliced champagne diamonds on a dramatic Y-shaped chain give this necklace an extremely delicate silhouette. Freshwater pearls and multi diamond rondelles strung throughout add a subtle interplay of texture and volume. Wear it as a stand-alone piece or pair it with our Champagne Diamond and Freshwater Pearl Bracelet to complete the look.

Tim Blacklock from Keystone Church in Saline, MI brings us this stage design you'd buy fresh mangos from on the side of the road.
They were heading into a series called Fruit of the Spirit, and in Tim's head, he went to a fruit stand. A search of CSDI found the Farm Fruits design from Ada Bible Church and that supported the concept. Craigslist listed some apple crates that would be scattered around the stage to be used as a podium, to hide music stands, monitors and keyboards and to just folksy it up a bit. The split rail fence was salvaged from a staff member who just happened to be removing theirs the week the new design was being put up.
Tim grabbed a couple of wooden barrels, a pedal tractor, and a tractor seat stool he made for his man cave for some filler. For a little color, a couple of plaid tablecloths were added. With nine weeks to the series, each fruit would be showcased by placing a placard under the U-PICK sign, hung by cup hooks. The rest of the signs would hang from the fence rails. The signs were made of rough sawn cedar with dry-brushed tempera paint lettering. The lighting on the back curtain was a blue wash from the top and green from the floor (sky/grass) from 10 LED bars. This went with the graphic used for the slides and their paper 'Keynotes' bulletin.


It has come to my attention that once you hit a certain age … *cough* 30 *cough* … it's harder and harder to get together with your girlfriends.
A few times over the past year, it was like the stars and our schedules aligned and we were all free on a Friday night.
Peter Smit (interviewed here) is the owner, operator and wine lover/expert. He is such an amazing community supporter.
I was so excited to sit down and talk to Peter Smit.
He's an interesting man with a true love of this City and, ahem, wine. I took the little bit of knowledge and tried to impress him over our brief chat. I failed when I couldn't pronounce "Pouilly-Fuissé" correctly.
Enjoy the interview and enter the giveaway!
Tell me about yourself and what you do!
I loved that you said: "Happinez is not about the wine".
Happinez is in many ways like all venues people come to when they go out for a night. In my opinion people go out to socialize first and foremost…therefore we have tried to make happinez a small, cozy and comfortable space, where people can chat, and meet other people. Wine certainly plays a role, it is seen around the world as a social drink and we are still the only wine bar in Saint John (although there are now a total of 4 wine bars in Atlantic Canada, since we opened in 2005).
Happinez has won countless awards.
Why do you think your little bar is so popular?
It is rather unique, because it is so small and cozy (the comment we get most often is "oh, it is like my living room"), but it is not just that…you have to make all the components of a good bar business work (ambiance, product, price point, service and also market your venue well) and we have worked hard at this.
How did you end up in Saint John? Why do you stay?
You are so involved in the local community.
Tell me about your involvement!
It is special and rewarding to be involved in your community, and that also means that you give back to people who are less fortunate as well as to organizations that make a difference.
I serve on boards of various organizations and we give a lot of "treats" to organizations that are fundraising, as well as do wine tastings to raise funds for the same.
Start the day with a half hour meditation, and after breakfast off to work (mostly things involving happinez, from cleaning happinez to picking up wine, bookkeeping, ect.), usually have lunch at the City Market or in one of the Uptown venues, and continue the day working. Usually three times a week, take a break for an hour long walk in the Uptown or at Irving Nature Park. Usually make dinner at home and do some more work and often spend time with my partner Kim.
What is your dream day?
…from the summer patio design by Monica Adair and Stephen Kopp to the replica "Come a Little Closer" bench.
Tell me about why you chose to go in this direction!
Love original ideas and am maybe influenced by lots of travelling and working all over the world before settling in Saint John. My home town of Amsterdam certainly has a lot of small cafe's which were an inspiration for happinez. Judith Mackin certainly also deserves credit for helping with the design in happinez, we had a wonderful way of working together and getting things done.
Quite often you will have wine tastings at Happinez.
Tell me about that! How can people "sign up"?
Usually every month we have a wine tasting with a particular theme, sometimes country, region, grape variety…sometimes film (like Side Ways and Bottle Chock). Most of the times Craig Pinhey, sommelier and wine writer is our guide and these tastings are a lot of fun, very social and we sample a variety of wines fitting the theme and usually paired with some nibbles..
What's your favourite thing to do on a Saturday?
What type of wine is on the go in your house right now?
Always on the go for keeping it happy and working on our next event "the wines of New Zealand" with Craig Pinhey (who just returned from there).
A $25 Gift Certificate to Happinez!
You can win a gift certificate courtesy of Peter at Happinez Wine Bar!
What a lovely chance to kick back and enjoy (almost) an entire bottle of wine on the house. If that's not up your alley, put the gift certificate in with your Christmas gift to a friend.
Have your entries in by Wednesday, December 14th 2011 at NOON!

Every time I reread my blog posts, the same thought comes to my mind – "man, I buried the lead again".
I learned about leads from "Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die" by Chip and Dan Heath. It is a short book, but one that influenced me deeply. Every blogger out there should read it.
"Burying a lead", in the jargon of journalists means boring the reader before getting to the juicy part. A "lead" or "lede" is the first sentence of the story.
I am having a huge problem with writing in "inverted pyramid" style. The juicy parts of my posts are usually at the bottom.
Think about it, most blog readers, especially the ones that matter suffer from add, and often do not get to the bottom of the article. This means they won't link to it, won't digg it.
I am trying to improve, but writing is a difficult art to master. I just wish I took more writing classes.


The Don't Touch My Computer cartoon screen saver is cute and fun. A guy walks into an office, carrying a little dog. He sets the dog down and hangs up a sign ("Watchdog on Duty"), then exits the frame. The dog sits there, chases its tail, and scratches--until someone touches your keyboard or mouse. Then it goes into attack mode, jumping at the screen and barking. (Pressing Esc gets you out of the screen saver.) Installation was simple--just download the executable and click on it. Clicking Settings in Display Properties lets you silence the dog's barking (probably good to do in an office).
Don't Touch My Computer is free, but it's designed to get you to the vendor's Web site. The vendor's logo appears at the bottom right of the screen with a link to its online offerings--which include a news feed, astrological advice, and so on.

Pot Plant Owl: Day 2 - 4 Oct and is there another chick?
No sooner had we confirmed that there was only one chick in the nest, and taken the picture below, then PPO started 'dancing'.
From left to right she shuffled, her head dipping to the silent beat of Motherhood in her soul. We've seen this 'dance' before, and we suspect (but can't yet prove) that the cause of this 'John Travolta' behaviour comes in a package that is white, tiny, fluffy and adorable.
You guessed it - the arrival of the second chick!
A short while later, viewers noticed eggshell on the side of the pot, and at one stage, PPO picked up a piece of (presumably) eggshell, and ate it.
Very exciting and can't wait to confirm Chick no.2 tomorrow.
Very cool!! Very exciting!! Mom is so Beautiful!

Surfs Up! This Virginia Beach Surf Park Idea Started as a College Thesis Project
Facebook to build $1 billion data center in eastern Henrico County
By MICHAEL MARTZ Richmond Times-Dispatch
Facebook Inc., the California-based social media and networking giant, will build a $1 billion data center in eastern Henrico County, according to multiple sources familiar with the project.
More details on Facebook's $1 billion data center in Henrico County
The project would create thousands of jobs during construction and more than 100 full-time jobs in a data center of more than 970,000 square feet that represents the first phase of the company's plans for property in White Oak Technology Park, the sources said.
Gov. Terry McAuliffe will make the announcement on Thursday at the state Capitol with state and local lawmakers.
The technology park, about 4 miles from Richmond International Airport, is home to a 1.3 million-square-foot data center operated by QTS, which acquired the former Qimonda computer chip plant in 2010.
The park, now owned by the Henrico Economic Development Authority, was created in 1996 for a $1.5 billion joint venture by Motorola Inc. and Siemens AG to build a plant to manufacture memory chips for semiconductors.
The plant became part of Infineon Technologies and then Qimonda, but closed in early 2009, laying off thousands of workers.
The Henrico Planning Commission voted last month to approve a development plan for a data center at White Oak of up to 2.5 million square feet, but the details were shrouded under the code name Project Echo.
It would be built in phases, with the first being a 1 million-square-foot data center on a 328-acre site on the northeastern and northwestern corners of the intersection of Technology Boulevard and Portugee Road, the Richmond Times-Dispatch reported in mid-September.
Future phases would include three buildings totaling 1.5 million square feet.
The planning documents do not indicate who the user of the facility would be for Project Echo. The developer is listed as Scout Development LLC and the project engineer is Northern Virginia-based Christopher Consultants.
The occupant would have 100 employees and contractors in the first phase and about 240 at full build-out, according to Henrico planners.
The county has taken steps this year to attract other data centers by dramatically reducing its tax rate on computers and equipment related to data centers, which store and process vast amounts of digital information.
In April, the Board of Supervisors cut the tax rate by nearly 90 percent — from $3.50 per $100 of assessed value to just 40 cents per $100. The new rate went into effect July 1

Palestinians demand Israel to return bodies of their loved ones
Jerusalem, Aug 27 (EFE).- Relatives of the over 330 Palestinians killed in clashes with the Israeli army and buried in military cemeteries held by Israel, are demanding for the return of the bodies of their loved ones as the territory marks the National Day for the Recovery of Martyrs.
The life of the Erekat family, who live in a suburb of East Jerusalem, was turned upside down in June last year when one of seven siblings was shot by Israeli forces at a military checkpoint.
The family has not been able to recover young Ahmad's body since Israel requisitioned the corpse, denying him what his loved ones call a dignified burial.
This is the case for hundreds of Palestinian families since 1960, when Isreal confiscated all bodies under a controversial policy that human rights groups say violates international law.
Israel adopted the policy under emergency regulation from the British Mandate for Palestine that was formally validated by the Supreme Court in 2019.
THE ERAKAT FAMILY
Members of the Erakat family are challenging Israel's policy by appealing to the Israeli justice system to demand their brother's body be returned, but have not succeeded.
The judge rejected the family's appeal last week, but Ahmad's siblings are not giving up.
"What they are doing is against international law," Faisal Erakat, brother of Ahmad, told Efe.
"What we are seeking is just to give us my brother's dead body, to bury him," he added.

But today I want to look at things a bit differently. I want us to start thinking in terms of outcomes, and creating E-Learning initiatives that fulfill business needs.
Many times our tendency is to sit down with a topic or idea and build our lesson plans from there.
I want us to flip this script. Instead of sitting down with a topic, I want us to have a goal. As in, what should this training session accomplish.
Before you start creating an E-Learning solution from the ground up you first need to ensure that the problem is one that can be fixed by training. This is done through research.
Is the problem one that stems from too few personnel? Or is it a facilities issue? If so, then this is not something you can fix with a training session, no matter how good it is.
However, if the problem is based around employee decision making, leadership skills or any one of a million other topics then it absolutely can be fixed through training. Diagnosing the problem effectively is the key to success.
Once you determine that the problem is training based, then you move on to the next step.
Now it's time to isolate the solution to the problem. In other words, what would you like for this particular E-Learning initiative to accomplish?
This is your outcome. Your end goal. This is what you want your participants to be able to do once the training has finished.
You aren't trying to just teach them a theory or idea, you are showing them how they can use these skills in their daily lives to make a difference in their behavior or performance.
In other words, when your participants have finished this session or sessions they will be able to do "X".
Knowing the outcome allows you to build the course effectively. Now instead of creating a course around a topic or idea, you are building it around a business goal.
One that is recognizable and one you can solve through training. And, if you know the outcome you are looking for right from the beginning, then you are much more likely to succeed.
So think in terms of outcomes.
How can I help my participants to succeed?
These are the types of questions I want you to ask right from the beginning.
Doing so will change the way you look at course creation and help you build more effective and lasting solutions.

Warhammer 40k Forum Tau Online » Games Workshop/40K Related » Terrain » Dark Eldar Haemonculus Base!
Well, after looking on the front of the Ravager box I got for Christmas, I saw those awesome little spiky things, and was instantly inspired to do something awesome for my Haemonculus model (also recieved for Christmas). Tell me what you guys think of the base, and if anyone wants me too I can write up a tutorial.
The last one is pretty blurry, but the rest look pretty good.
Re: Dark Eldar Haemonculus Base!
are they crystals? or like huge barbed metal spikes?
other than that it looks great! I think I know how you did some of it though...still nice!
Will do King. And I now have Primer! I can paint models without making myself really mad once again!!!


It would be interesting to know how people are designing their ESX / Virtual Connect environments.
In my team we've been going for active/active with 2 SUS and an active/active NICs in the vSwitch. This maximises throughput (no idle paths), but does potentially increase the amount of traffic that may have to go via the upstream switch for traffic between ESX hosts.
You are correct Nick. If the active NICs in the 2 servers are connected to the same vNet (and that vNet is not marked Private), the traffic will be switched internally in Virtual Connect. Otherwise it will go out of the enclosure. This is true whether you're using dedicated vNets, VLANs on a SUS, active/passive, active/active, even tunneled networks. There are indeed more chances to have the 2 NICs connected to different vNets in an active/active design, but that depends on the vswitch config.
Keep in mind that in an active/standby VC network just because one bay's uplink is in standby does not mean that the nics connected to that bay are not usable. With TLB teaming (both nics active on a vswitch) the nics on the module in standby will use the cross connect and work just fine. The difference is that all traffic will be using one uplink not 2 as it would in active/active.
I have a two chassis VC domain with two different ESX 4.1 clusters. One 5 node cluster and one 3 node cluster. For VM server traffic I have two networks setup using VLAN Tunneling. All ESX servers have a NIC configured for each of the networks.
Is it true that communication from one VMware guest on one ESX server to another VMware guest on another ESX server will stay within the VC domain and not go out the uplink ports? Both VMs are connected to the same networks that are using VLAN tunneling.


Ensuring patients have access to needed medicines is critical, but the importation of unapproved medicines, whether from Canada or elsewhere in the world, is the wrong answer.
The United States is the gold standard when it comes to regulating the safety of our medicine supply. Importing medicines from countries that do not have our same strong standards could taint our medicine supply. Without proper Food and Drug Administration oversight and enforcement of laws designed to protect patient safety—which importation schemes would undermine—there is increased potential for counterfeit or adulterated products to infiltrate the U.S. pharmaceutical supply chain, with life-threatening consequences.
In 2003, the Medicare Modernization Act gave the Secretary of Health and Human Services the power to allow the importation of drugs from Canada, if the Secretary could certify the imports would both 1) pose no additional risk to public health and safety, and 2) generate cost-savings for American consumers. To date, not a single Secretary, from democratic and republican administrations, has been able to make this certification.
Over the years, a handful of states have piloted drug importation programs as a way to provide access to drugs from outside the United States, but there has yet to be a successful program. For example, six states tried a contracted importation program with a Canadian operator of online pharmacies that cost $1 million to implement. Four years later, the program was deemed a failure and terminated.
Importation schemes have been proposed at various times as an approach to reducing drug costs. However, these schemes fail to acknowledge that the resources required to ensure the safety and efficacy of any drugs being imported from or passing through other countries into the United States would outweigh any potential savings. They also ignore that generics comprise more than 90 percent of the U.S. market today and are widely available lower-cost alternatives for patients. Not to mention, the exponentially higher risk of counterfeit, adulterated and substandard products entering the United States and harming patients would be playing Russian roulette with patients' lives.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, matcha powder and 1/2 cup of sugar. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, oil and extracts. Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Fold in the white chocolate chips. Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, sprinkle the tops with the remaining tablespoon of sugar and bake for 16-18 minutes, until the tops are lightly browned.

According to the local paper, the woman swept off the rocks to her death was from a photography group out shooting in wild weather. It's a timely reminder that nature has to be respected.
From my club, she was a very talented photographer.
Sorry to hear that. What group was she with?
How very sad. Her poor family. What a shock. Yes a reminder to us all of the dangers.
A timely reminder for us all to take care when out and about. No image is worth losing your life for. Whilst stormy weather is often chased by the seascapers it circumspection might in some cases be wise.
Very sad indeed, I'm sorry to hear this.
How terribly sad. Such a tragedy.
I must admit I've been astounded at times by the risks some people take to get a picture - mostly those with phones though to be fair, not serious togs.
I can fully understand. Usually these things are just a subtle reminder to ourselves to be careful, but then in our small world when one of our members has close knowledge it impact more.
Thoughts for you and her family.
Timely reminder of how powerful nature can be.
I used to go sea fishing and some anglers took liberties, one big wave and you're gone.
Very sad news. Some of our club were there a couple of weeks ago. Terrible thing to happen.
I live on the coast near many beaches and unfortunately it is very dangerous.
The coastal rescue team are busy people so take care if doing photography of this type.
I thought Mr Heatons recent video was a poor example though I guess he knows that bit of beach well.
Some types of swell are very unpredictable and will suddenly send a much deeper wave far higher than the rest.
If caught on rock or slipway you could be knocked over by a foot of water and dragged out with very little chance of getting back.
Confirmed that the lady was on an organised photography trip being run by Guy Edwardes.
I thought the bit he showed at the start of the video on the slip set a bad example too.
When I was at Reynisfjara beach in Iceland, I got caught out by a wave.... I was stood on the water edge for a while taking photos with the tide just reaching my feet. All of a sudden I was up to my waist in water. I later found out how dangerous and unpredictable that area can be so I consider myself lucky to just get wet.
Yes, this was demonstrated on the BBC, maybe country file, when I guy went and stood in the water running from a damn. It was a constant flow and he was roped up. He couldn't keep his feet once it was about 18" up his legs. It's such a dangerous thing; rock fisherman in Australia often find this out to their cost [and of course, to the people that care about them].
Just to give an update on this tragedy, the BBC website has a little more on the lady herself, but also a number of her wonderful photos taken around the world.
Wonderful photos and a terrible loss for her family & friends.
It will be interesting to hear the circumstances around this sad incident.
I was in Lewis & Harris last week and there was very high winds. The waves come in with an incredible force and it was interesting to watch but from a distance. I was with a friend and we managed to find a spot whereby we were protected from being blown anywhere we shouldn't have.
As @momoka says, it will be interesting what exactly happened and I guess we'll hear in the coming months.
I am a friend of Guy Edwardes and I know that he is, as you would expect, very upset by it.
It's still too soon to ask him questions about exactly what happened but I will see him next month in person and no doubt hear.
She really was an excellent photographer as her website illustrates and clearly loved to travel taking photographs.
Just to be clear and clarify things, I wasn't suggesting things like asking him but Guy has already said he will talk about what happened later.
I have already heard what had happened second-handed from someone who was there.
.... Indeed very sad and tragic.
Sorry about the 'suggestions' aspect but I hadn't interpreted your earlier post to be making any suggestions.
As you say, Guy may talk about what happened exactly in due course. I would prefer to hear it firsthand next month if he wants to share.
For those living locally to SW London - one of her clubs, the Richmond and Twickenham Photography Society, is holding its annual exhibition at the Landmark Arts Centre in Teddington. And as Agnes made such an impact in the club since she joined in 2016 the RTPS has dedicated panels as a tribute to her (one being her ARPS panel I believe - I just saw her images being hung this afternoon). Her loss is still deeply felt. I also feel for Guy and the other workshop participants.


How to get a green card is often the question you hear a lot from many Nigerians. Of course, there is nothing like U.S green card lottery and the U.S immigration is strict when you think about applying for a U.S.A visa in Nigeria.
American lottery or DV lottery is not a thing the country (Nigeria) is allowed to submit an entry anymore, thus many people in this country are frustrated every day.
However, getting an American green card is possible, even without an immigration lawyer or through a green card marriage. If you need a green card for yourself or family, read on to find out how you can get that if you have the money.
The normal requirement of getting a U.S. green card according to investment in a U.S. business is $1 million. However, the amount of money with the investment might be reduced to $500,000 under specific conditions, namely if the business is located in a rural area or even in an urban area having a high unemployment rate. How high? It must be at least 150% from the national average.
Some state governments will identify the parts of that particular state/area that are considered high in unemployment, and definitely will send U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) a summary of which locations qualify.
What if the intended investors know part of the U.S. which they would like to invest has a higher unemployment, but it's not on the USCIS list? You can submit a letter from an authorized state agency confirming that the location of the business may be designated an increased unemployment area.
You may also contact the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistic's Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) office to get your hands on one of its published technical bulletins showing the unemployment rate in that area. USCIS will likely accept other statistical documentation, if it's from your reliable source.
Rural areas are understood to be any location outside of the official metropolitan statistical area or the outer boundaries of any city populated by 20,000 or more people.
It comes with an EB-5 visa designed for investors within a "regional center." To attract in investment, virtually all regional centers are employed in rural or high-unemployment areas, so that the minimum investment is held at $500,000.
Regional centers are designated by USCIS, but run privately, and work to promote economic growth through increased export sales, improved regional productivity, new job creation, and increased domestic capital investment. For example, real estate development projects, such as office and retail developments, shops, and resort hotel developments, are popular projects for regional centers.
Investors in regional centers do not need to prove that they themselves provided new jobs for ten U.S. workers, instead show only that the regional center created ten or higher jobs, directly or indirectly, or it increased regional productivity.
Some immigration attorneys report that regional centers offer probably the most desirable methods to pursue an investor visa, since they allow a wealthy investor to produce a cash investment without creating or managing a new enterprise.
The key, however, is to be sure that you are registering with a highly-managed regional center. The real fact that USCIS has designated the center doesn't protect the investor from potential risk of losing in investment.
Before you make a move to invest, you must confirm through the regional center that it's operating in a rural or high unemployment area to confirm that your $500,000 will qualify you for the EB-5 visa.
And keep in mind the regional center program is not permanent. It's going to end on September 30, 2016, unless Congress votes once more to renew it (just like they did in late 2015).
It is possible to become a permanent resident through consular processing living outside the USA. Consular processing occurs when USCIS works with the Department of State to issue a visa on an approved Form I-526, Immigrant Petition by Alien Entrepreneur, petition when a visa is available. For additional info on consular processing, visit the Consular Processing page.
You can become a conditional permanent resident through adjustment of status living in the United States. As soon as the Form I-526 is approved and a visa number can be obtained, you'll be able to submit an application for conditional permanent residence on Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status. To find out more about this, you can visit the Visa Availability & Priority Dates and Adjustment of Status pages.
Generally, when you have a pending Form I-485, it's possible for you to make an application for authorization to work in America and also to seek advance parole (advance permission to travel and become admitted to the USA upon your return). For more information, visit the Employment Authorization Document and Travel Documents pages.
If you have any questions, you can leave your comment below. We'll be glad to provide an answer to you as soon as possible.
When is the $500,000 made available to the investor.

The Parish Choir's participation at Mass is very important to the liturgy and comes with its own reward "Those who sing pray twice". Raheny has been blessed with a dedicated choir and musical directors over the past decades. The members had a common interest in music and a deep concern for one another. They turned up every Monday night for rehearsal, rain or shine and gave of their best every Sunday morning.
The support and appreciation from the parishioners was a great source of encouragement. It was a privilege to sing at the ordinations and first masses of a number of young men from the parish. One of our treasured memories will be of the day spent at "Sli an Chroi" Kiltegan under the guidance of Fr. Seamus Whitney a Kiltegan Father. This day was proof of the feeling of oneness between the members and a day to remember.
A number of the members of the choir have moved on to their eternal rest where they are now, no doubt, part of the heavenly choir. We remember them with fondness, also the former musical directors, Mrs. Cahill, Mr. McElroy, Matt White and the energetic Patti O'Donohue.
The choir is now ably directed by David Doyle who continues the wonderful tradition of presenting beautiful music in our church liturgies.

About Raheny
Raheny is a modern suburb on the northside of Dublin City, formerly it was a compact rural village, surrounded by private estates, small farms and labourers' cottages. It remained largely unchanged until the spread of Dublin City began in the 1950s when new housing estates crept over the green countryside, with schools, churches and shops built to cater for the growing population. However, with its remaining eighteenth and nineteenth century houses, churches and railway station, it still retains its village atmosphere more than many suburbs of Dublin City.

Our thoughts on Citrix's workspace and identity strategy
Identity management is a key part of the modern workspace. Now that Citrix has it, where do their offerings fit in the market?
Jack Madden
Last week I shared initial impressions of Citrix Synergy 2018; today I'm taking a closer look at the Citrix workspace and identity strategy.
While "workspace" may seem like the buzz of the day, really, it's nothing too new. We've been talking for years about how the enterprise EUC experience—once bound together by the Windows desktop—has gradually expanded to include modern web apps, SaaS, file sync, mobile apps, and new devices. To deal with this new world, we have tools like EMM, EFSS, and identity federation. "Workspace" is simply the idea that all of these experiences (and the tools to manage them) should work together in a cohesive way.
Citrix has been working on this for a long time. To me, this goes back to the ShareFile acquisition, CloudGateway 2, the Zenprise acquisition, and the various ways all these products came together. (Incidentally, Citrix was selling "Workspace Suite" bundles at least by 2014.) A friend noted that this goes back earlier, to NFuse and Citrix's acquisition of Sequoia in 2001. (This lead me down a hole reading old articles about MetaFrame Secure Access Manager, Malibu, and Citrix's "Access" strategy. But I digress...)
By 2015/2016, it was becoming clear that a key part of delivering workspace is identity management. A few things were happening: SaaS apps were getting very real; cloud-based identity offerings like Okta were getting a lot of attention; SAML was growing rapidly (according to Okta, the number of apps with SAML support increased 600% from 2013 to 2015); and conditional access was starting to trend.
Subsequently, it was becoming clear that identity and SaaS app management—at least in their most modern forms—were a bit of a hole in Citrix's offerings. In contrast, VMware announced Identity Manager (which was based on some earlier products) in 2015; and Microsoft was starting a big Azure AD push. Citrix had some identity capabilities in NetScaler, but they didn't compare, nor were they emphasized.
So I was very pleased when Citrix put a lot of emphasis on SaaS apps and SSO in their Workspace Experience demo at Synergy 2017. The big question was how they were going to deliver on this. Citrix said they would build some of their own IDaaS capabilities, as well as enabled integrations with other providers, such as Azure AD or Okta. I was eager to see the final products, and considering the security push at Synergy 2017, we also wondered what other products they would reveal.
What did Citrix deliver?
We finally got to see everything at Synergy 2018. In case you need the review:
NetScaler Gateway Service (which was actually revealed in April) is Citrix's cloud-based identity provider; it supports SAML; has templates for common SaaS apps (plus you can add apps manually); it has several MFA options; it can support on-premises web apps via NetScaler Connecter; and it supports XenApp and XenDesktop.
NetScaler Unified Gateway also got some new features, including the same SAML templates; and support for OpenID Connect.
The new Citrix Workspace App is the latest version of the "bring everything together" concept; it now includes an embedded browser.
Citrix Access Control is the new cloud offering for SaaS app security; it includes identity capabilities from the NetScaler Gateway Service; uses the Workspace App as a client (with the embedded browser or the remote browser service); does URL filtering; and incorporates Citrix Analytics. (Really, all of these products will use Citrix Analytics in some way or another.)
So, what do we think? As I mentioned, this is the latest step in the long evolution of workspace (and portal and "access") efforts.
It's telling that the Citrix Workspace App got a lot of attention at Synergy 2018. Looking back, this is a common trend in Citrix's succession of efforts, but either way, it makes for good, compelling demos. By the way, don't listen to the folks grumbling about how it has the same name as VMware Workspace One—my position is that "workspace" is now solidly an industry term.
An important thing to remember is that you don't have to access everything from the Workspace App. The whole point of the workspace concept is that there are a lot of different ways to deliver apps and data to users. For example, the SAML federation capabilities in NetScaler Gateway Service and Unified Gateway will allow users to login directly SaaS app web pages, instead of just going via the Workspace App. (In the identity space, this is known as a service provider (SP) initiated login, versus an identity provider (IdP) initiated login.)
One smaller note—Citrix does need to ensure that other EFSS apps get first-class integration to the same degree as Sharefile (we've said this before), but I was assured that this is on the road map.
I think having an embedded browser in the Workspace App is genuinely interesting—using it as a way to apply security policies to SaaS apps on un-managed desktops is an obvious and useful approach. I've liked this idea ever since I first saw it in Moka5 Project Skynet and Good Technology's Windows and Mac apps, and of course this is what MAM products have been doing on mobile for years. (I also like this as a use case for remote browsers, too.)
In general, SaaS apps are emerging as a top area for EUC to get a handle on; besides identity and conditional access, also witness the proliferation of cloud access security brokers (CASBs). Citrix Access Control addresses this exact issue, but has a fairly different approach from most CASBs, so it will be interesting to see how the industry takes note.
Moving on to the IDaaS components, many customers likely already have or are considering products like Okta or Ping, or they're getting Azure AD with their Office 365 migrations. So where does Citrix fit in this picture?
For one thing, all this identity work is effort they had to put in no matter what—Citrix Cloud and the Workspace App needs its own identity services to do things like make SaaS apps first class citizens, or to work with other MFA solutions (and many of these services existed in Citrix Cloud already). By offering NetScaler Gateway Service for as an IDaaS, Citrix isn't entering a new category from scratch—it's just another step on top of what they were already doing.
Certainly, Citrix's IDaaS capabilities will be competing against other IDaaS vendors in some situations, and Citrix can tout their portfolio integration as an advantage. The competition is certainly a long ways ahead with things like automatic user provisioning and more complex SaaS app integrations, but in a Synergy breakout session, Citrix's Chris Fleck and Steve Wilson emphasized that this was just the beginning of their identity road map. Plus, for conditional access, you'll want your IDaaS to be as close as possible to your endpoint management and other workspace tools, so there's another argument for Citrix customers to also use their IDaaS.
But what about Citrix in conjunction with other IDaaS products? Indications are that we'll hear more about this down the road, and as I wrote a few weeks ago, hopefully Citrix validates use cases and offer plenty of guidance on how to do this. Assuming that NetScaler Gateway Service acts like other standard identity providers, there will be a lot of different ways to use it in combination with other IdPs serving various roles.
It's telling that the biggest theme of Synergy was arguably the Citrix Workspace App, SaaS apps, and web apps—it's a sign of the times for cloud offerings and the state of EUC in 2018.

Home Africa Live Biden urged to back appeal to waive vaccine intellectual property rules
Biden urged to back appeal to waive vaccine intellectual property rules
WILMINGTON, DELAWARE - NOVEMBER 06: Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden addresses the nation at the Chase Center November 06, 2020 in Wilmington, Delaware. The winner of the 2020 presidential election has yet to be declared, as vote counting continues in the key states of Pennsylvania, Georgia, Nevada, Arizona, and North Carolina.

Ten U.S. senators are urging President Joe Biden to back India and South Africa's appeal to the World Trade Organization to temporarily relax intellectual property rules so COVID-19 vaccines can be manufactured by nations that are struggling to inoculate their people.

The lawmakers, in a letter delivered to the White House on Thursday evening, wrote that Biden should "prioritize people over pharmaceutical company profits" and support the temporary waiver of the rules. A waiver could pave the way for generic or other manufacturers to make more vaccines.
The letter was led by independent Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, along with Democratic Sens. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin and Sherrod Brown of Ohio. Democratic Sens. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, Chris Murphy of Connecticut, Edward Markey of Massachusetts, Jeff Merkley of Oregon, Chris Van Hollen of Maryland and Raphael Warnock of Georgia also signed the letter.
"Simply put, we must make vaccines, testing, and treatments accessible everywhere if we are going to crush the virus anywhere," the lawmakers say in the letter, which was obtained by The Associated Press.
More than 100 nations support a temporary waiver, which could help vaccine manufacturing ramp up in poorer countries that are struggling to acquire vaccine supplies. The Biden administration has said it is studying the issue.
Opponents, including pharmaceutical companies, worry that it would set a dangerous precedent in allowing scientists around the globe to copy American and European companies' research — some of which was funded by the U.S. government — long before patents expire. The Trump administration had opposed calls for the waiver.
The White House did not respond to a request for comment on the lawmakers' letter.
The lawmakers' appeal to Biden came after a group of 170 former world leaders and Nobel laureates earlier this week sent a similar letter to Biden urging him to support a temporary waiver of the WTO's intellectual property rules.
The pandemic has seen 3 million people lose their lives globally, including more than 170,000 in India and more than 50,000 in South Africa, according to figures compiled by Johns Hopkins University.

This is the actual 1.126 km route, I have taken. It is been generated by the files of my GPS Device (Garmin Edge 1030). Click on it for a large version.
After such a trip, the screws are often very hard to loosen. That's why I looked for a real instrument. Thankfully, the tool-shop in Corleone could help.
Now, I could continue my last ride. I came by Borgo Schirò, an abandoned village built during the agricultural reforms of Mussolini.
Palermo Airport - the Bags and the bike is packed - I am ready to fly home.
Two days left until I will fly back to Frankurt and one destination is still on my list: Corleone. This village had seen very bad times and gave the name to Vito. It needs some climbing needed to reach it.
It rained from time to time. Often, I made it to some Bar and had a Cappuccino.
Climbing higher, the rain changed to hail and the mountains had some white toppings.
Finaly, I made it to Corleone. I will stayed there for the night.
Tomorrow, I will drive back down and straight to the airport.
It´s not far to Palermo. I do not have to take the short way. Last year, on the trip from Palermo to Barcelona, I rushed through the rain. Leaving the big rock in the distance on my list.
and that seemed to be the perfect time for my first puncture.
The sun came back and with it, the 1.000 km mark.
The day was planned to be short. Out of the Gate of my Guesthouse and onto the road.
Only 55km to Cefalù was the plan.
But was not even 2pm, so rode on. The weather was ok, just headwind and big clouds.
I made it to Termini Imerese, but the Hotel, I booked seem to not like the bicyclist, thy wanted 5€ to store the bicycle. There was some kind of bad vibrations that made me go away (the owner screamed that he will call the police (don't know why). By the time, I went back on the street, it was already dark .
The Schmidt-Family light system (SON28 and Edellux II) is incredible effective.
I continued a little further and found a nice boutique Hotel. Double the price, but once in a while the right thing to do.
After 10 nice km of rolling, a hill waited.
I wondered where all the people on the racingbikes where going. I followed them up the hill to a monastery. They welcomed me and got me on their picture.
Lots of sun at the beautiful Sicilean cost.
So I rode my bicycle at natale - der erste Weihnachtsfeiertag. Very little traffic and tons of men on their racing bicycles.
I started this morning in the sun, but clouds darkened the sky to the North.
Fortunately the clouds went within the first hours letting me enjoy the ride.
and more km for Rapha #Festive500, a challenge to cycle 500 km between Christmas and End-of-year.
After noon, nothing goes in Italy at the 25th of december. I had a hard time to buy water. I needed to search for my accommodation quite early and only one Pizzaria was open in town.

I have a toy job coming up and I need to track a 1.5 inch car around a loop that is approx 18" in diameter.
Would the Frazier Lens work for this? Perhaps the Revolution. I am shooting 16 as well. Likely a HS SR. I would love a motorized rotational 90 degree lens down at the end of a relay tube, however, what ever that is I would like to find it in N.Y. City.
As you'll see from my website I shoot a lot of small toys.
I've learned from past messages not to mention product names! They were all shot with either the Innovision Probe 2 or the Revolution.
It's horses for courses. Sometimes one is right, sometimes the other.
On a "bang for the buck" basis as you're shooting 16 I assume that this is important, then the Innovision is a clear winner.
>I would love a motorized rotational 90 degree lens down at the end of a >relay tube. And what ever that is I would like to find it in N.Y. City.
NYC is home to Revolution inventor/developer at Cine Magic Int'l.
See if you can get a hold of Peter or Max, both great guys.
Usual Disclaimer : I don't work for Cine Magic... etc.
and you can get the specs there.

Current: The Trust Landscape
The Trust Landscape
Mar 10, 2019 | by Rohit Ghai
The 2019 RSA Conference theme celebrates our successes and urges us to continue improving the security of our digital world.
In last year's opening keynote I also celebrated our successes with Cybersecurity Silver Linings. I challenged us to double down on those silver linings...to get better. In this year's opening keynote, co-presenter Niloofar Razi Howe and I told the story of a great future for all of us in the Bio-Digital Era. We talked through the difficulties we overcame (the Trust Crisis) to arrive at this bright new era...this better time and place. Celebrating our successes.
While the keynote took us on a fictional journey, there are many key truths in the story. There are actions we can take now to help bring about our better digital world – our Bio-Digital era where we win with Trust.
Humanity has transitioned through four distinct eras: Agricultural; Industrial; Internet; and Digital.
Each era brought its own flavor of disruptions and organizations have had to adapt to win. During the agricultural era, it was all about quality. Scale became important in the Industrial Era, followed by Speed in the Internet period. The Digital era brought billions of people online with tens of billions of connected devices running on multiple clouds connecting everyone to everything, and Experience is the winning formula. In the not too distant future, we will enter a new era where digital technology will truly be everywhere; even inside us. To win in this brave new world we must have trust. Trust in our technology. Trust in our industry.
We find ourselves in a perplexing paradox of trusting complete strangers. We invite them into our cars, our homes, and our businesses using platforms like AirBnB, Uber, Turo, TaskRabbit, LendingClub and KickStarter. These platforms form the basis for a trust network between individuals. But as this peer-to-peer trust between individuals rises, trust in institutions and organizations is plummeting.
Interference in democratic elections around the world are causing people to lose faith in their political and social institutions. In order to sow widespread chaos and discord, individuals are becoming the target of nation-state attacks and their influence campaigns.
Americans are struggling to maintain belief in democracy as an ideal form of government.
The constant dissemination and amplification of fake and biased news, combined with the prevalence of deep fakes littering cyberspace, is causing individuals to lose faith in the independence and veracity of news sources as the line between fact, opinion and misinformation blurs.
The rapid rise of social media platforms drove such political polarization that fact-based rational discourse will all but disappeared from the public domain – in turn, causing individuals to question if their governments will or can solve our most important societal problems.
As a community of security and risk professionals we can stop the Trust Crisis before it takes further hold. To do so, we must have an epiphany.
We should continue to worry about the threat landscape.
But what we should really do is...Begin to obsess about the trust landscape.
Risk and Trust Coexist
Restoring trust in the digital world is not about eliminating risk, but about understanding, prioritizing and managing it.
We must learn to manage risk to our political and social institutions, not by eliminating bad actors but by teaching information literacy so that our citizens can no longer be targeted, manipulated and misled.
We must learn to manage risk from social media platforms, from fake and biased news sources, and to discern deep fakes when they appear. Not by undoing the first amendment, but by sharing information so that people understand the actors and motives behind these polarizing voices and make better choices about how they consume information.
We must learn to manage cyber risk to our businesses. Not by locking down our networks, but by ensuring reliability and resiliency through risk management.
As the concept of the perimeter evaporates, along with the ability to keep things in or out of the network, we must manage risk. Not only by understanding the likelihood of a potential loss event, but more importantly, by understanding the business impact of these events to take a risk orientation and protect what matters most. Risk practitioners need to recognize cyber risk and digital risk as the largest facet of risk going forward. The domains of cybersecurity and risk management are converging and making each other better.
An organization's digital risk is more a function of its ecosystem than its own digital footprint. In the digital world, 3rd through Nth party risk is far greater than first party risk. It's like when you trust your home to your teenage kids, it's the friends of their friends you should worry about the most.
Owning, managing and reporting on Risk must simply become our new normal.
Trustworthy Twins
Humans are not trustworthy in certain areas. We suck at remembering passwords. We struggle with processing vast amounts of data. And yes, some of us still click on dancing cat videos.
AI is getting exponentially better than humans at most tasks. While riding a supercharged Moore's law AI is becoming the lightning rod of mistrust with technology because it displaces jobs and suffers from biases inherent in the data fueling it.
AI, in fields like medicine and law, is hampered because it lacks empathy and concerns around ethics. In the field of cybersecurity, it's not designed to work in adversarial environments.
Then there is "the explainability challenge". Machines are super human at getting to better and faster answers, but they cannot explain how they got those answers. Would you trust a robot doctor telling you that you need brain surgery? Even if you knew that it was probably right? "Trust me!" – the machine said. But it is so hard to.
So who do you trust? The human who can be manipulated with emotion? Or the machine that can be manipulated with data and is vulnerable to cyber-attacks? Do we even need trust?
Applying pair programming, an early software engineering idea from the early days of software engineering, we can pair humans and machines together for better outcomes.
Embracing pair programming here can lead to an age of augmentation, where we can place more trust on human and machine together than on either individually.
But we must remember that our adversaries are doing the same.
In the SOC, digital twins work together to save trust and fight the adversary on the other side. – also a human paired with a machine. It is a battle between Twins vs. Twins. One set working to erode trust.
The other fighting relentlessly to preserve it.
Chain of Trust
An organization's reputation is the most valuable currency that matters when things go wrong and will determine how and whether it survives a serious misstep.
Reputation works like a distributed ledger recording deposits and withdrawals. You make a deposit when you do the right thing, especially when it's the hard right. You make a withdrawal with every wrong choice, especially when it's an easy wrong.
Whether or not there is a run on your Reputation Bank during a crisis depends entirely on your perceived trustworthiness. Trust does not require perfection. Trust requires transparency, accountability, honesty and reliability.
We share breach and attacker information within closed networks of trusted peers, but do not celebrate our successes enough. We are not making enough deposits in the Reputation bank
As the Digital Era unfolds we must learn the value of sharing information, sharing attacker techniques, and disclosing breaches.
Information living in walled silos must become useless.
These three key ideas will lead us to a world worth fighting for. A world where we unshackle innovation; allowing it to move at the speed of thought and drive incredible economic and humanistic gains.
By effectively managing digital risk, we will be able to embrace new waves of technology and use it to make our businesses efficient, our transactions trusted and secure, and our workers productive – resulting in a new world.
A trust enabled world.

For many of us, dogs are more than merely pets, they are best friends and members of the family. However, owning a dog includes risks, including the chance that your furry friend may cause property damage. There is also the possibility that even the most well-behaved dog could hurt another person. Luckily, there are ways to insure yourself against damage or harm caused by your dog. Read on to learn more about renters insurance coverage of dog bite incidents.
Renters insurance is a type of home insurance that protects those who rent a home against theft, loss, and liability. It typically covers your personal property, and will pay to replace items that are stolen, damaged, or destroyed. Renters insurance will also shield you from liability if a person is injured while in your rental home.
This coverage sometimes will include coverage of injuries resulting from a dog bite that occurs within your apartment. Dog bites are typically covered under the personal liability section of renters insurance policies. Your personal exposure to damages resulting from a dog bite can be significant. Initial injuries from dog bites can be devastating—even domestic breeds have been known to kill tenants in apartment buildings.
The extent of dog bite injuries can also be difficult to discern based on the initial bite. Even minor injuries can lead to infection or nerve damage, and result in extensive treatment and even multiple surgeries. For this reason, it's not uncommon for dog bites to result in personal injury lawsuits. Each state has its own laws regarding dog bite lawsuits, and some states hold dog owners strictly liable for dog bite injuries, regardless of relative fault.
Does Your Policy Cover Your Type of Dog?
If you own a larger dog, check with your insurance policy to determine if your dog is covered. If your particular dog is excluded by your renter's insurance policy, you may have to purchase additional insurance coverage to remain adequately protected. A good option to consider is an umbrella policy, which is an optional policy that extends your liability coverage. An umbrella policy can cover unanticipated medical bills or litigation costs associated with a dog bite. These sorts of policies will also cover you while you're at home, or in any other location, so you are protected against injuries that could occur while you're walking your dog, in a dog park, or injuries that are caused if your dog runs away.
If you've been injured due to a dog bite, then you understand how devastating these types of injuries can be. Depending on your circumstances, you may be eligible to file a personal injury lawsuit against the owners of the dog or other responsible parties. A great first step is to speak with an experience personal injury lawyer near you.
