Security and IT business intelligence
Your CIO uses security and IT business intelligence to make decisions. Shouldn't you?
Andrew Briney
Quick: Your job as a security manager is to secure the:
B. Applications
C. Data
D. Users
Actually, it's a trick question. The answer is none of the above. Your job is to secure the business.
No problem, you say. I've got firewalls, DMZs, IDSes, authentication servers. Wrong answer. Securing the business isn't about point technologies or security architecture. It's not even about policy. It's about presenting security-relevant data in a business context. It's about cost-justifying decisions based on risk models, not unpredictable threats and arbitrary vulnerabilities. It's about framing the security message in a way that motivates the stakeholders who drive business strategy and sign security PO's.
In short, it's about security business intelligence (BI).
BI is the latest management catchphrase for next-generation data warehousing. Where data warehousing focuses on data integration, BI is concerned with data governance -- the practice of using integrated data to make strategic business decisions about expenditures, workflow and product quality.
To see how BI works in the enterprise, look no further than the CIO, to whom 70 percent of security managers report. For the CIO, BI is primarily about aligning all technology initiatives with business strategy. In fulfilling this role, the CIO's chief weapon is the ability to quantify decisions based on facts, not intuition.
Unfortunately, most security teams have a long way to go before they can productively contribute to corporate BI. The good news is that security has plenty of information: reams of firewall logs, IDS events and policy exceptions. The bad news is that none of it is organized or presented in a way that lends itself to business intelligence. Making matters worse, in the past most security decisions have been based on intuition: back-of-the-envelope estimates of what it will cost to protect the organization from a future risk based on a past incident.
Achieving security BI begins with the procedures you've heard a thousands times: assigning a value to information assets; obtaining timely information about relevant vulnerabilities; assessing threats given the target environment and the potential for exploit code; and responding appropriately should an attack occur.
One way to build security BI is to create a "criticality scorecard" prioritizing risks you need to address. The scorecard is where all your risk management work comes together. Each risk is rated according to threat severity and vulnerability relevance with respect to asset value, existing security defenses and applicable standards or regulations. You can build this type of scorecard through a relational database, or you can buy automation software from any number of security vendors (some vendors call it a "dashboard"). Either way, it takes a lot of elbow grease to produce the desired results.
By ranking each identified risk in relation to all the others -- let's say on a scale of 1 to 10 -- you can develop a workflow in which the IT team is addressing the most serious risks (those ranked 9 or 10) while ignoring or delaying the others (those ranked 1 or 2). The criticality scorecard should track the time and resources it takes to address high-priority risks.
The primary goal of the scorecard is to produce an executive report that illustrates how security is focused on the organization's most critical risks; how deficiencies in the time-to-patch for critical vulnerabilities can result in security breaches; and how the consequences of failing to devote adequate time and money to mission-critical risks leads to unnecessary exposure and reactionary spending. This is just the type of business intelligence your CIO needs to make fact-based security decisions.

Wind turbine meeting entices crowd
Posted By National Wind Watch On January 28, 2016 @ 11:44 am In Oklahoma | Comments Disabled
Wind turbine construction will begin in Stephens County early in the spring, according to a NextEra Energy representative.
Last Thursday, a large crowd swamped the Rush Spring Lions Club to get a first-hand look at maps showing the placements of the turbines as well as find out more about the project in general.
Several NextEra employees were on-hand to answer questions.
"We're still finalizing some of the land issues, but our hope is we will start construction in the spring, and it will be done by the end of the year," Steve Stengel, NextEra communications director, said. "That's been the plan all along, and we're right on the timeline we originally set out."
Stengel said the wind farm would include 120 turbines spread over properties in northeastern Stephens County and part of Grady County.
"At the height of construction, we will have about 200 construction workers, and once the facility is operational, up to 12, will live in the area and maintain the facilities," Stengel said. "Over the lifespan of the project, we estimate $30 million in property taxes will be paid, and $60 million in landowner payments."
While many people at the community meeting seemed to be interested in finding out how close the closest turbine was going to be to their property, some property owners were not pleased with the turbines making an appearance at all.
Not all the questions asked were answered, and others answered were not to the satisfaction of opponents.
A main concern of opponents was property value going down for not only those who owned land with turbines, but also for neighboring properties.
They questioned the reasoning behind a 24-page agreement landowners must sign. They also noted if a landowner sells his property, the new owner must abide by the same contract.
One opponent was concerned about the appearance, saying he did not want to see blinking red lights across the skyline at night.
Another opponent said a special interest group is behind the measure in order to get government subsidies for producing clean energy.
Stengel said he deals with concerns on a regular basis.
"One of the main things we hear about is the decrease in property value," Stengel said. "One of the pieces of literature we have is about a property value study by an independent lab, so people can look at that and draw their own conclusions."
Addressing the question of how they look, Stengel said there is really not much they can do about it.
"The old saying is 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder,' so if you tell me, 'I don't like the way that wind turbine looks, there's nothing I can do to change your perception," Stengel said. "If I don't like blue cars, for example, there's nothing you can do to make me like blue cars. That's a difficult issue, because there is nothing we can do about the size of the turbines."
He went on to say there has been a lot of scientific research that has gone into the issues people have the most concerns about.
"We share that information with people," Stengel said.
Another concern, and one that can be particularly troublesome in this area is ice storms. Turbines have been known to ice over during ice storm and throw ice from the spinning arms.
"We have a lot of farms in the Midwest and several in Oklahoma," Stengel said. "We watch the weather closely, and if the there is a chance of an ice storm we don't want them running, and if there is ice accumulation, they shut down. It's something we know how to manage."
Another issue was wildlife could be detrimentally affected.
"There are some risks with any source of energy," Stengel said. "If you look at wind side-by-side with other sources, wind stacks up well against the others."
Stengel said the company has Owens Corning and Equinix, a data storage company, lined up as customers. Both are out of state.
"They are really buying the renewable energy, and the attributes that come along with the project," Stengel said.

A Bubble-Blowing, Rotten Plant-Eating, Gas Mask-Faced Picture-Winged Fly
Posted on October 2, 2018 by Chris Helzer
Please join me for a moment to appreciate a fly that eats rotting vegetation and looks like it is wearing a gas mask while doing it. Oh, it also has gorgeous decorative wings and likes to blow bubbles. Yep, you read that correctly.
Delphinia pictaon a sunflower at Lincoln Creek Prairie – Aurora, Nebraska.
Delphinia picta, a picture-winged fly, comes across as eccentric, to say the least. Its appearance, alone, is remarkable. The wings are distinctively shaped and patterned, and its long face really does look like it's wearing a gas mask. Though small (about 7mm in length), it's a species that will catch your eye if you glance its way.
Both the adults and larvae of D. picta feed on rotting vegetation. Mama flies lay their eggs in rotting vegetation, the larvae hatch out and feed on the same rotting vegetation, and after they pupate and become adults, they keep feeding on that same rotting vegetation – or a suitable subsitute. It must taste good. Oh, adults have also been documented eating the fermenting poop left behind by tree-boring long-horned beetles. You know, for a change of pace.
Delphinia picta can be distinguished from other similar species by the pattern on its wings, the dark-colored top of its abdomen, and its long gas-mask-looking face.
The aforementioned bubble blowing behavior appears to be a result of the fly regurgitating a little of its most recent meal (likely rotting vegetation) and holding it as a bubble protruding from its mouth. This might be used as part of a mating ritual (hubba hubba) or as a way to evaporate some of the liquid from its food for easier digestion. Or maybe both.
I looked all over online for a common name for this terrific species, but I couldn't find anything besides Latin. That seems unconscionable to me. If there ever was a fly that deserved a nickname, this is it. Let's see if we can come up with one, shall we?
Since picta means painted, that seems like an obvious component of any name we choose. Since it prefers (did I mention this already?) to eat rotting vegetation, we could potentially call it the "Painted Compost Fly", but I don't love that.
Any fly with a face like this deserves a good nickname.
I guess we could just go with "painted fly", but that's too plain for such an interesting species. I think we've got to include something about its diet. I have a suggestion, but I don't know if it'll catch on. I looked up synonyms for rotting and decaying and one of the more fun options is putrefying. That's a word we can work with. See what you think of this option:
The Painted Putrefly.
Yes? No? Can you do better?

Thank you for this informative entry!
I've always wanted to know more about this kind of insect but didn't/couldn't find any info- especially since I didn't know it's name.
I called it a Paddle-wing fly since its wings looked like boat paddles.
I think they're one of the cutest insects in my garden. :-)
Thanks, again, for the terrific info!

John Brazner on October 4, 2018 at 12:58 pm said:
While I really like the alliteration and sentiment of "Painted Putstule-Popper", the "painted" part doesn't stand out for me and pustule-popper seems misleading and possibly a bit scary for some. This little fella looks to be several shades of brown which doesn't say, "painted" to me. How about the glass-winged putrefly or maybe spitting putrefly?

Unfortunately I don't think "putrefly" works in this case. It may be just me, but my impression about "putrefy" is that it is most often associated with flesh, whereas one of the many attributes that distinguishes this bewitching fly is that it does not eat rotten meat. Too bad, because it's a great word and I have none other to offer. However I notice that because you are such an elegant and precise writer, even you avoided connecting "putrefy" with vegetation in your completely delightful and captivating text.

I've been seeing these all over my yard in MI and wondered what they are. So glad I found this resource. I think for the name perhaps something like "painted paddle-wing fly"? I think the ends of their wings look like they fan out into a paddle.

Virginia welcomed Amazon with open arms. Should local leaders have stepped up earlier? Kevin Lamarque/Reuters
Mayors Should Take a Stand Against a Future Amazon HQ2
Calling on federal government to regulate economic incentives is a cop-out. It's time for America's big cities and mayors to stand up to companies like Amazon.
Richard Florida is co-founder and editor at large of CityLab.
In the wake of the incentives bidding war over Amazon's HQ2 comes a new round of calls to action. Should the federal government limit or ban the reverse-Robin Hood practice of state and local governments offering taxpayer money as big corporate subsidies? The logic is simple: These bidding wars place cities and states in an unenviable prisoners' dilemma, where they compete with incentives and have little reason to cooperate. Some say a higher level of government needs to intervene and stop the madness, as the European Union has done, but I believe there is no way the federal government would do that for us.
I am all for ending incentive insanity, but the federal level of government under Trump is even more dysfunctional than ever: American's faith in the presidency and Congress is near record lows; Congress remains divided and dysfunctional. Since it's not likely that the U.S. government will end this incentives race, mayors need to step up and agree to end these corporate subsidies on their own.
I understand full well the pressures which have made mayors reluctant to take the lead on limiting or banning business incentives. I personally know and respect a good deal of the progressive mayors who lead the HQ2 finalist cities. I reached out to them and other state leaders in January when I organized my HQ2 petition, or mutual non-aggression pact, calling on local leaders to stop the incentive madness and compete on merits. Most said they could not do it, because of the backlash they would receive from both local business leaders and voters. As Nathan Jensen pointed out, political leaders believe they are better off giving it their best shot and losing, rather than not entering the game at all.
Amazon played this process, and these mayors, like a proverbial fiddle. By setting an aggressive deadline for the its first-round submissions, it pressured cities to respond very quickly, setting in motion a competitive dynamic that was hard to arrest from the get-go. But now the "competition" is over, and it is plain to see that Amazon gamed them and their cities.
It's time to hold mayors accountable and make them forge an agreement to end or limit extreme incentives, especially when more HQ2-like competitions and even bigger handouts may well be in the future. We urbanists like to point to the pragmatic, non-ideological outlook of mayors. We'd all be better off, we like to say, if only "mayors ruled the world." They are addressing inequality, imposing new and higher minimum wages, and working hard to upgrade jobs. They are developing new strategies, like inclusionary zoning, to generate more affordable housing. They are holding the line on sanctuary cities. So why give them a pass when it comes to business incentives?
Amazon HQ2 and the 'Gentrification of Jobs'
Sarah Holder
Amazon's HQ2 Spectacle Isn't Just Shameful—It Should Be Illegal
What New Yorkers Really Think of Amazon HQ2
I'm not talking about just any mayors. The mayors who willingly participated in the HQ2 debacle are a veritable who's-who of the nation's liberal and progressive elite—the likes of Bill de Blasio (New York City), Eric Garcetti (Los Angeles), Rahm Emmanuel (Chicago), Muriel Bowser (Washington D.C.), Marty Walsh (Boston), Bill Peduto (Pittsburgh), and others—who are on record about fighting inequality and building more inclusive economies. Yet, at the same time, they are willing participants in a competition that ultimately handed over billions of taxpayer dollars to one of the world's most successful companies and its richest man.
Participating in this game is not without political risk. Backlash is mounting, especially in progressive circles. Representative-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has publicly denounced the deal. State Assemblyman Ron Kim plans to introduce a bill to use the billions New York would spend on Amazon's subsidies, to repay student debt. In today's charged political climate, handing out huge sums of corporate welfare to large companies and billionaires can be, and should be, a career ender.
Let's hope the experience of serving as such easy marks in the HQ2 game will be a much-needed wake-up call to mayors and public officials. The odds of players—even prisoners—cooperating increase when a game is played over and over again. Seeing how the HQ2 process ended up, and realizing that the game was rigged from the start, should spur mayors to cooperate. It's not as if these mayors are strangers, after all: they know each other and work together in groups like the U.S. Conference of Mayors. They have the personal relationships and the institutional venues needed to build such cooperation.
There is plenty of precedent for collective action. When America's national government failed, a group of progressive American mayors stepped up to continue the fight against climate change. Across the world, nations have worked together to manage and regulate trade; even enemies come together to regulate nuclear arms. It's time for the leading progressive mayors of the bluest cities to put an end to the insanity of economic incentives, which are wholly unnecessary and transfer a huge amount of wealth from the taxpayers to large corporations and the super-rich.

Q: Using UIScrollView with Autolayout I am trying to get a simple scroll view to work with autolayout. My SuperView has a Scroll View. Inside the Scroll View is a ContentView and then a ButtonsView.
View (320x480)
  |
  |__Scroll View(320x480)
          |
          |__ContentView(320x556)
                 |
                 |__ButtonsView(320x175)

The ScrollView constraints to the SuperView are 0,0,0,0 for Leading, Trailing, Bottom and Top. The ContentView constraints to the Scroll View are 0,0,-96,0 for  Leading, Trailing, Bottom and Top. The -96 is because my content view height is 556. I have a ButtonsView inside the ContentView. The ButtonView constraints to the ContentView are 0,0,238,64.35 for Leading, Trailing, Top and Aspect Ratio.
I am getting Missing Constraints and Scrollable Content Size Ambiguity errors on my xib.
I do not want to to hardcode the width and height for either my ContentView or ButtonsView as I want the xib to work for iPad as well.
Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong and how I can get this fixed?

Thanks
This is not a duplicate question. The question above has a scrollview which doesnt work as intended. My question is more about how autolayout rules can be applied to the scrollviews.

A: You should let the inner contents of your ScrollView to determine its content size. Whether by indicating fixed height and width (which you don't prefer). Or by putting constraints to determine the sizes of inner contents related to the View. So in your specific case, you can add an Equal Widths Constraint for ContentView and View. To adjust height, you can add an Equal Heights Constraint for ButtonsView and ContentView with multiplier of 175/556

A: You just need to add a Bottom constraint in your ButtonsView to the ContentView. With those constraints, now the ContentView can guess its height, and so the ScrollView, too.

Q: Create Posts using Import>RSS/WXR/XML and pass values to Custom Fields My problem is simple. I need to make a lot of posts containing image url's for a "photo gallery" page. I've read up a lot on creating posts from RSS feeds and imports. I've been successful at creating posts but can not somehow pass a value into a custom type. The gallery needs two url's, one for the image thumbnail and one for the full size. The code I'm using looks like this;

I confirmed the meta_key's when I exported posts and reviewed the xml file generated. So I know I've got to be close! Evidently I'm missing something.
One question to go along with this; if I understand this correctly a Custom Field are the individual "meta-key's"? Is this right?
I have almost 1000 images I need to create individual posts for, complete with descriptions and categories. If I were able to "batch" them then I'd save myself a lot of time and remove the high probability of human error.
I'd really be grateful to any help or a steer in the right direction.

A: I relentlessly searched and read until I found an answer! Turns out, the right thing to use is actually MetaWeblog API and XMLRPC, which you'll have to activate as it is disabled by default.
First thing, visit the Settings menu in your admin panel and navigate to "Writing". Scroll down until you see the XML-RPC check box under "Remote Publishing". Once this is saved your pretty much all set.
You'll have to export posts and then read through that xml file to get the meta-names of your specific custom fields.
Here's the code I used:
<?php
$BLOGURL = "your.wordpress.root/folder";
$USERNAME = "your_uesername";
$PASSWORD = "your_password";

function get_response($URL, $context) {
if(!function_exists('curl_init')) {
die ("Curl PHP package not installed\n");
}

/*Initializing CURL*/
$curlHandle = curl_init();

/*The URL to be downloaded is set*/
curl_setopt($curlHandle, CURLOPT_URL, $URL);
curl_setopt($curlHandle, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
curl_setopt($curlHandle, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array("Content-Type: text/xml"));
curl_setopt($curlHandle, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $context);

/*Now execute the CURL, download the URL specified*/
$response = curl_exec($curlHandle);
return $response;
}

/*Creating the metaWeblog.newPost request which takes on five parameters
blogid,
username,
password*/

/*The title of your post*/
$title = "Sample Post Title with Custom Fields";

 /*The contents of your post*/
 $description = "a collection lorem ipsums";

/*Forming the content of blog post*/
$content['title'] = $title;
$content['description'] = $description;
$content['categories'] = array("Uncategorized");
/*Pass custom fields*/
$content['custom_fields'] = array(
    array( 'key' => 'your_custom_feild_meta-key', 'value' => 'place whatever value your custom field requires here' )
    );
/*Whether the post has to be published, false means it will be created as a draft*/
$toPublish = false;
$request = xmlrpc_encode_request("metaWeblog.newPost",
array(1,$USERNAME, $PASSWORD, $content, $toPublish));

/*Making the request to wordpress XMLRPC of your blog, you may have to change this to the correct path for your xmlrpc.php file*/
$xmlresponse = get_response($BLOGURL."/xmlrpc.php", $request);
$response = xmlrpc_decode($xmlresponse);

/*Printing the response on to the console*/
/*If it works, you'll see a number followed by :Post ID*/
echo ":Post ID"; print_r($response);
 echo "\n";
  ?>

This is it! Now you can easily automate the creation of this file with some php, javascript, perl... whatever you want! Theres only a few variables to change.

U.S. energy giant Chevron is offering up for sale its entire gas block stake in Myanmar, valued at an estimated $1.3 billion, Reuters reported in an exclusive earlier this week. Chevron has purportedly already started working with an American investment bank with regards to a potential sale.
If the deal goes through, it would mark the biggest sale involving Myanmar's assets, eclipsing the previous record of Singapore's Sea View Hotel Ltd's $1 billion purchase of a hotel property in 2005. Analysts have argued that it could set the tone for future deals in Myanmar, boosting claims that the country is now more open for business under the new democratic government led by the National League for Democracy (NLD). In that vein, the deal is likely to be watched closely by state, institutional and corporate investors alike.
The Chevron assets that are up for grabs include a 28.3 percent ownership in the Yadana and Sein gas fields and a 99 percent stake in exploration Block A5 in the Rakhine Basin. These are designated as non-core assets by Chevron. Sources say that buyers would be keen to acquire all three assets bundled together.
Chevron's move to pull out of Myanmar is not at all an indication of the latter's dampened economic prospects. Rather, it is better understood as a bid to boost cash reserves and retreat from non-core assets in the wake of sliding oil prices. Prices of brent crude have declined by over 60 percent since June 2014. Depressed prices are also not likely to rise anytime soon since the OPEC producer cartel recently failed to reach an agreement to halt the glut in oil supply by freezing production at January levels.
More broadly, Chevron's asset sell-off in Myanmar should be seen in light of the company's strategy to sell off assets for hard cash and focus on high-risk high-return exploration projects. Chevron put up its geothermal energy blocks in Indonesia and Philippines, valued at about $3 billion, for sale in early April 2016. The sale, managed by Citigroup, saw the usual suspects – Japan's Marubeni, a Chinese sovereign wealth fund China Investment Corp, as well as Malaysian (Malakoff), Filipino, and French companies (Engie) – expressing interest in bidding. In recent years, Chevron has also sought to sell its 50 percent stake in Caltex Australia as well as its assets in Hawaii.
Despite the doom and gloom in the oil market, Myanmar's assets remain attractive not just because of export markets like China and Thailand, but also a growing internal domestic market, according to Singapore-based analyst Adrian Pooh at energy consultancy Wood Mackenzie. Australia's Woodside Petroleum, Thailand's PTT Exploration and Production, Japanese trading houses, and Chinese companies, among others, may feature in the potential buyer list.
Woodside, which already has 20 percent of its exploration acreage in Myanmar, has recently discovered gas in block A-6 of the Rakhine Basin near Chevron's A-5 block and thus would reasonably be interested in enlarging its holdings. Power plants in Thailand primarily get their energy from the Yadana and Sein gas fields currently operated by French company Total SA, hence the Thai interest in vertical consolidation. The Japanese, flush with cheap capital, will be looking for more ways of securing energy. As for Chinese companies, some say they may hesitate to invest for various reasons including weak demand and corruption investigations which have slowed business decision-making. More generally, Chinese firms have also become more selective in recent years, preferring core assets.
Either way, the Chevron-generated buzz over energy-related M&A in the region has already been read as a positive signal of economic sentiment in general and a boost to Myanmar's investment climate in particular. Some also hope that it might further encourage the new NLD government to move toward more investment-friendly reform, though that remains to be seen.

While it's true that professional athletes need to fuel their bodies with enhanced drinks, your kids are likely better off without them. Whether your child is exercising outdoors or actively involved in recreational activities, the truth is that when it comes to sports drinks, the bad often outweighs the good. Here's why you should encourage your kids to put the Gatorade down and replenish with other forms of hydration instead.
The dog days of summer are here, which means your kids will probably be spending a lot more time outdoors, running around, exercising, or gearing up to play sports for the upcoming school year. While they're busy breaking a sweat, you may be tempted to curb dehydration and replenish electrolytes lost with energy or sports drinks and vitamin-enhanced waters. If these drinks work for performance athletes during practice and at games (and they're certainly marketed that way in television advertisements and in athlete and celebrity endorsements), then they should be perfectly healthy for adolescents, right? Well, not exactly.
According to a study published in 2011 by the American Academy of Pediatrics, parents should take caution when choosing a beverage for their children before, during, or after exercise. In fact, the AAP suggests only small amounts of energy and sports drinks may be appropriate for children who participate in high-intensity physical activity in hot weather for more than one hour. However, for kids who engage in routine or moderate physical activity for less than three hours in normal conditions, these beverages aren't suitable.
Not only do energy and sports drinks provide very little nutritional benefit, they also leave less room in your kids' diets for the good stuff, like water, fruits, protein, and vegetables. These drinks also cause tooth decay and erosion, which means your child might as well eat a Snickers bar or drink sugar water during Little League practice or while running around in the park. Yikes!
Minus the pretty colors and sweet taste, quite simply, these sports drinks aren't beneficial for school-age children, unless they're engaging in prolonged, strenuous activities or exercise for more than an hour (such as basketball, soccer, or long-distance running).
Sports drinks contain carbohydrates, which is a quick source of energy when your body is depleted of stored and usable energy. Although they do contain electrolytes like sodium and potassium which are lost through sweat, they're often high in sugar and calories, which could lead to weight gain.
Don't be fooled by the word "water" in its title. These drinks are enhanced waters that contain supplemental vitamins or minerals and are available in different flavors. But what's often not mentioned is that vitamin waters often contain extra calories, sodium, artificial sweeteners, and caffeine. Instead of drinking vitamin-enhanced water to accommodate nutrition gaps, it's best to provide healthy meals, beverages, and snacks for your children or doctor-recommended multivitamin supplements created for kids.
Most of these drinks guaranteeing improved performance and lasting energy are labeled as unsuitable for children, but some have slipped through the cracks. The silent, dangerous culprits in energy drinks are the high doses of sugar and caffeine. Similar to sports drinks, energy drinks can contribute to weight gain and dental problems. And this study conducted in 2014 demonstrates that the effects of caffeine may differ between boys and girls, but the stimulant does decrease heart rate and increases blood pressure in young children.
Even though your kids may be playing hard outside and sweating, they can stay hydrated with healthier alternatives like infused water combinations, watermelon juice, and coconut water. Not only is coconut water a natural source of electrolytes, it's also refreshing and low in calories. Of course, you can't go wrong with plain old H2O. When in doubt, water is the healthiest form of hydration for adolescents and teenagers (adults, too). The amount your child needs to consume will vary depending on their age and weight, as well as the level of intensity during physical activity and weather conditions.
The bottom line: For elite athletes and kids alike, nothing beats a healthy, balanced diet and staying hydrated with water to increase natural physical energy and achieve success both on and off the field.

Syracuse Needs a Marshall Plan to Address Poverty Crisis
Howie Hawkins, the Green Party candidate for Mayor of Syracuse, called today for a state–and county–funded Marshall Plan to rebuild the city's high poverty neighborhoods.
The U.S. Marshall Plan rebuilt a devastated Western Europe after World War II. The National Urban League has been calling for a domestic Marshall Plan to rebuild inner cities every year since 1964 in its annual State of Black America reports.
The plan would include a public jobs program in public works and services, with investments in affordable housing, transportation infrastructure, and community services.
The public service jobs would include programs for youth, seniors, disabled people, child care, parks and recreation, and arts and culture. They would enable at-risk youth and people returning from incarceration to build a job resume that will help their entry into the larger labor market. The initiative would support business incubators for employee-owned businesses in depressed residential business districts, including the site of the closing Nojaim's grocery store.
Hawkins said the plan should be financed in part through the state's $500 million Upstate Revitalization Initiative (URI), which set aside 10% of the funding for anti-poverty initiatives. $20 million of that $50 million has already been allocated to Say Yes to Education. Onondaga County has set a deadline for proposals for the remaining $30 million of November 3 this year. Hawkins called on the county to extend the deadline until after the next mayoral administration takes office so it can develop a coordinated program proposal in consultation with city residents and agencies.
Most of the $500 million URI fund has been allocated to for-profit companies like Sunoco, Saab Defense and Security, and Welch Allyn and big non-profits like Syracuse University and Crouse Hospital. Hawkins said the benefits of these kinds of subsidies to established entities do not trickle down to Syracuse's high-poverty neighborhoods. He said his Marshall Plan would take a bottom-up approach of directly assisting poor and working-class people.
"The three perennial issues in Syracuse – crime, schools, the economy – are best addressed by focusing resources and policies on uplifting and desegregating poor and working-class people," said Hawkins. "Reducing and de-concentrating poverty will reduce crime and improve schools. This in turn will make the city more attractive to middle-class and businesses and create a sustainable prosperity for all."
Poverty is a pervasive crisis in Syracuse, which has steadily gotten worse. Syracuse's poverty rate was the 13th worst among U.S. cities in 2016, increasing to 32.1%. 47% of children are living in poverty. Among the 100 largest U.S. metropolitan areas, Syracuse has the highest concentration of black and Latinos, and the 5th highest concentration of whites, in high-poverty census tracks. The number of high-poverty census tracks has quadrupled since 2000.
Hawkins held his news conference at the Main Gate of the New York State Fairgrounds to highlight how the state and county have poured $120 million in and around State Fairgrounds in last few years while investing nothing in high-poverty areas of Syracuse. These investments include $50 million from the county for the Lakeview Amphitheater; $50 Million from the state for a new Exposition Center and Aerial Gondola to the Lakeview Amphitheater; and $20 Million from the Upstate Revitalization Initiative for a new on-ramp to I-690 West and parking improvements.
"Our city is in need of upgrades, not unlike the fairgrounds. If Governor Cuomo can do this with the stroke of a pen, imagine what would happen if he landed on poverty in Syracuse with both feet," Hawkins said.
Hawkins said short-term he would bring more jobs to low-income city residents and minorities through city-funded jobs in city departments and with city contractors, including contractors supported by city's various economic incentives. He would overhaul the city's 1973 Equal Employment Opportunity Program ordinance to expand coverage to all jobs supported with public funds and strengthen compliance, including sanctions for non-compliance. The city and its contractors need to have affirmative action hiring plans with goals and timetables to increase resident and minority hiring.
Hawkins would increase the new city requirement for resident hiring on contracts to 50% from 20%, as is the standard in other cities such as Newark, NJ. Data on minority hiring by city contractors that was published by the city/county Human Rights Commission until 2008 showed that minorities were getting less than one-fifth of their proportionate share of jobs with city contractors.
The old Equal Employment Opportunity Program did not apply to city departments. But the city is under 1980 federal consent decrees to hire minorities in the fire and police departments. The city Police Department is still 90% white and the Fire Department is 83% white in a city that is now half people of color.
Longer term initiatives proposed by Hawkins includes support for worker-owned businesses and a reversal of the race and class segregation in schools and housing. He would start a municipal development bank to plan, advise, and help finance worker-owned cooperatives to create living-wage jobs and build assets and wealth for workers in high-poverty neighborhoods.
Hawkins said that the next mayor must lead the movement for desegregation. "Martin Luther King warned us in 1965 speech at Syracuse University that if it didn't address de facto segregation, it would fail to properly educate generations of children. That's what happened. We can't wait another 50 years to address school segregation," said Hawkins.
School consolidation for desegregation by race and economic classes must be part of the city-county consolidation and shared services discussion, according to Hawkins.
Hawkins supports inclusionary zoning to desegregate and address the housing affordability crisis. The city should mandate mixed-income units in all new and rehabbed housing, including both affordable units for low-income renters and market rate units for more affluent renters. Hawkins said current policies, which have permitted the building of exclusively upscale housing in the Inner Harbor and targeted low-income housing for the already high-poverty neighborhoods, are increasing housing segregation.
Two-thirds of Syracuse residents are tenants and over half of them spend 30% or more of their income on rent, the federal standard of affordability. 29% of renters pay more than 50% of their income on rent.


Bulgari fragrance and perfume list.
Shop for perfume: Bloomingdale's | Saks | Nordstrom | Sephora - Free Shipping on orders over $50. Plus, 3 free samples with every order!
The most celebrated fragrances often inspire nostalgia. But perfumers themselves travel in a very different direction: They forge ahead, coaxing fresh ideas out of classic techniques. ... It's a recipe that transcends scent. Risk takers may fail on occasion, but the moments they succeed are the ones that make the world spin.
In the early 1990s, Ellena combined two synthetic materials that recalled the aroma of green tea. Bulgari commissioned a perfume out of the scent, intending it just as a gift for clients. The result, Eau Parfumée au Thé Vert, was so well received that the brand started selling it. With green tea, citrus, and a smoky wood accord, it had a broad, indefinable appeal. It even provided the blueprint for CK One, the first successful unisex fragrance.

The Darkest Hour – The Three Years and Eight Months That Changed Hong Kong
To expand its influences both politically and militarily across Asia in order to gain both natural and human resources, the Japanese military invaded Manchuria in 1931, sparking what historians call the Second Sino-Japanese War.
By 1938, Japanese forces occupied Canton (now known as Guangzhou) in the south, effectively surrounding Hong Kong. The coastal city was a British colony at the time, so attacking it would be considered declaring war on the British Empire. However, that no longer became a deterrent when the Japanese effectively declared war on Allied forces when it attacked Pearl Harbor in the US on December 7, 1941.
The very next day, Japanese forces attacked Hong Kong. Despite stiff resistance from Allied Forces, the Japanese outmanned and outgunned them. The Battle of Hong Kong lasted 17 days, ending with the governor of Hong Kong surrendering to Japanese forces on Christmas day.
Thus began the tumultuous period of Japanese occupation that Hongkongers call "Three Years and Eight Months." Faced with limited food supplies and other resources, 600,000 residents returned to China while Japanese forces forcibly deported others. Essential food supplies such as rice and oil were rationed. Many died from starvation, and there are even accounts of people resorting to cannibalism to survive. Hong Kong's population went from 1.6 million in 1941 down to 600,000 in 1945, when Japan's surrender ended the occupation.
Ann Hui's biopic "The Golden Era" used this period as the backdrop of writer Xiao Hong's final days, when medical negligence resulted in her death in a temporary hospital. Hui's follow-up, "Our Time Will Come", takes place practically right after the end of "The Golden Era".
"Our Time Will Come" isn't Hui's first film about "Three Years of Eight Months." In 1984, she adapted Eileen Chang's novel Love in a Fallen City, which was based on Chang's own experiences of studying in occupied Hong Kong. "Our Time Will Come" is a relatively more ambitious film, drawing a wide canvas depicting the harsh life under the control of foreign invaders.
The creative starting point of the film for Hui and writer He Jiping is the Dongjiang guerilla force, a Communist Party-backed resistance group that was based in the outskirts of Hong Kong. The film used real characters from the forces, namely Blackie Lau, played by Eddie Peng, and Fang Lan, played by Zhou Xun. While the film's main arc follows Fang's transformation from an ordinary schoolteacher to spy, the real Fang actually began participating in anti-Japanese activities before the occupation began and joined the Communist Party in Hong Kong in 1938.
Nevertheless, Hui says that roughly 80% of the film is based on true events, including the evacuation of Chinese cultural figures from occupied zones seen in the film's first act and the sacrifice that Fang's mother made for the war effort.
However, "Our Time Will Come" is more than a war film. In her typically restrained approach, Hui paints a portrait of everyday Hongkongers keeping up appearances despite being under siege. Scenes such as the humorous wedding banquet scene and the displays of neighborly spirit displayed by local police force members who were forced to serve the Japanese are arguably more interesting than the espionage aspect of the story, and they set "Our Time Will Come" apart from the countless number of Chinese television series and films about the Sino-Japanese War.
We do get brief glimpses of the Japanese's brutalities towards Hongkongers, but Hui isn't interested in reminding us of that. Instead, it's a humanistic tribute that celebrates the resilience of Hongkongers even when our way of life is under threat. The message is subtle, but it's no coincidence that Hui chooses to end the film with a shot of contemporary Hong Kong.

Q: Creating a function to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius I'm new to python and have started learning about functions. I am having trouble with homework to create my function to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius. Please see my code below.
def convert_f_to_c(temp_in_fahrenheit):

    celsius = float(temp_in_fahrenheit - 32.00) * float(5.00 / 9.00)

    return round(celsius)
convert_f_to_c()

The arguments is that we have a float representing a temperature, that returns a float representing a temp in degrees Celsius, rounded to 1dp.
I receive one of these errors when I run the test
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for -: 'str' and 'float'

I have tried to create a function to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius and I keep getting errors. Unsure how to proceed with this question.

A: It seems like temp_in_fahrenheit is a string when it should be a float. Just change how the float function is called.

#wrong
float(temp_in_fahrenheit - 32)

#better
float(temp_in_fahrenheit) - 32

A: Make sure to pass a float to your function, not a string, then you won't need to construct floats (incorrectly, as it happens) in your function.  Your function should focus on the formula for conversion, not conversion of the parameters or rounding.  Leave that to the input and printing.
def convert_f_to_c(temp_in_fahrenheit):
    return (temp_in_fahrenheit - 32) * 5 / 9

tempf = float(input('Fahrenheit? '))
tempc = convert_f_to_c(tempf)
print(f'{tempc:.1f} degC')

Output:
Fahrenheit? 70
21.1 degC

University of Chicago gets $100M for global conflict center
Flickr | Luiz Gadelha Jr.
CHICAGO (AP) — Citing a migration crisis that has displaced more people this year than at any time since World War II, entrepreneur brothers Thomas and Timothy Pearson said Wednesday their family foundation is giving $100 million to the University of Chicago for a research institute aimed at using big data to study and resolve global conflicts.
University President Robert Zimmer said the donation from the Pearson Family Foundation matches the second largest gift in the school's history. The funding establishes an institute at the Harris School of Public Policy, which will use data-driven research approaches to evaluate the effectiveness of public policy. It will be called the Pearson Institute for the Study and Resolution of Global Conflicts.
The Islamic State organization and other militant groups pose challenges that defy Cold War solutions, said Richard Haass, president of the Council on Foreign Relations, who hailed the announcement as "extraordinarily important" during an event on the Chicago campus.
The new institute will recommend strategies based on quantitative social science research on the interaction of military, economic, political and cultural factors. A yearly forum convening scholars and policy experts will be part of the effort.
"I applaud and marvel at the scale of the undertaking," Haass said. Saying that the United States and other nations have made global conflicts "in many cases worse," Haass encouraged researchers to remember that "not acting is just as consequential in any situation as acting. The option of not acting ought to be analyzed and assessed with every ounce as much vigor as the option of doing things."
Thomas Pearson, 61, a leading member of private equity firm Cohesive Capital Partners, said the gift highlights his family's belief that non-state conflicts, from drug cartels to insurgent organizations, have become increasingly significant.
"There is no more important challenge of our time," he said at the Chicago event, which also featured his twin brother Timothy Pearson, a marketing and advertising executive. "We can think of no more important legacy for our family."
Data analysis can challenge assumptions about what's working in conflict zones, university officials said. For example, most terrorist operatives are neither poor nor uneducated, according to research cited by the University of Chicago in background materials. That suggests education programs should be coupled with investment in new jobs and economic opportunities, the university said.
This story has been corrected to show Thomas Pearson is a leading member of a private equity firm called Cohesive Capital Partners, not Alliance Holdings.

The Robinson High School Auditorium-Gymnasium, also known as the RHS Gym was a historic gymnasium located on the campus of Robinson High School in Robinson, Illinois. The gym was constructed in 1939 using funds granted by the Public Works Administration. The Art Deco building featured fluted columns around its entrance, glass-block windows at the entrance and east and west sides, and curved metal awnings. Both high school athletic events and public events were held in the building, as Robinson had no other large public space suitable for hosting community events at the time.

The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005. The building was demolished after the construction of a new gymnasium in 2006.  It was removed from the National Register in 2020.

Hanukkah 1988 in Israel
Posted on June 27, 2021 by Sherwin Wine
The Jewish Humanist, December 1988, Vol. XXVI, Number 5
Hanukkah time 1988 is crisis time for the state of Israel – and massive anxiety time for the Jews of the world who support it.
As far as world opinion is concerned, the Jews have become the persecuting Greeks. And the Palestinian Arabs have become the Maccabees fighting for their freedom. The roles have been reversed.
Israelis are confronted with overwhelming problems. The intifada rebellion of the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza continues. The PLO has accepted UN resolution 242 (with its implicit recognition of the right of the state of Israel to exist) has renounced terrorism, has proclaimed a Palestinian state in the occupied territories, and has called for an international conference where issues can be resolved. The militant orthodox continue to grow in number and power and are threatening to "steal" the state from the secularists who established it. And world public opinion, which overwhelmingly supported Israel before 1967 is increasingly turning against the Jewish state and isolating it.
The happy vision of the Zionist pioneers has turned into a nightmare.
Now all these crises have been aggravated by the recent Knesset election. The dovish Labor party and its leftist allies have been defeated at the polls. The ultra-orthodox religious parties have substantially increased their representation and are energized by victory. The right-wing extremist parties (despite the taming of Meir Kahane's Kach) have recruited more supporters and stand confident against concessions.
It is quite clear that any future government will have to be a coalition government, since neither of the two major parties commands a majority. If the conservative Likud unites with the religious parties, repression of the Palestinians will become more severe and Israeli Jews will be forced to endure more and more theocratic intrusion. If the Likud unites with Labor again, Labor will lose the power to push for territorial concessions and will be compromised by association.
At this time it is very important that both Israelis and we, as American Jews, accept the realities at this crisis. American Jews need to accept the following facts.
1. The Israel of 1988 is very different from the Israel of 1948. The secular, liberal, Ashkenazic state of David Ben Gurion is gone. It has been replaced by a nation that is gradually becoming more religious, more conservative and more Sephardic than ever before. The forces in Jewish life that had repudiated Zionism are now the arbiters of its fate.
2. Israel public opinion is deeply divided. On both the peace and religion issues extremist opinions are on the rise. It is often difficult for Israelis to talk to each other about politics and stay cool. Each group simply withdraws into its own corner. The old centrist consensus is collapsing.
3. The intifada is beginning to concern Israeli society. Repression tends to elevate military virtues and to lessen concerns for civil liberties. HaHate and paranoia become respectable.And a wartime survival mentality takes over public discussion and makes compromise difficult.
4. The youth of Israel is growing more conservative. Occupation duties, with his confrontation with rebels and rock-throwers, has turned young soldiers bitter and resentful. Dovish and liberal sentiments are hard to retain when you are dealing with violent rejection and hostility.
Israeli Jews need to face the following realities.
1. American Jewry, the most powerful Diaspora support of the Jewish state, is finding it more and more difficult to identify with Israeli government policies. If a Likud regime yields to the Orthodox political parties and revises the Law of Return to turn over the determination of Jewish identity to Orthodox rabbis, then Israel will lose the effective support of American Jews, both (sic) Conservative, reform and secular.
2. Israel cannot hang on to the West Bank and Gaza without destroying itself. A state that will ultimately have an Arab majority will not be a Jewish state. Nor will it be able to tolerate democracy. Nor will it be able to provide security for its Jewish citizens. A hostile population of violent Palestinians cannot be repressed without the terror that will cost Israel the support of the West. And without the support of the West she cannot survive.
3. The only Palestinian Authority that Israel can negotiate with is the PLO. No other authority presently exists. And the PLO has won much of world public opinion by its dramatic concession. If the PLO is willing to recognize the right of the state of Israel to exist (even though it is only implicit) and to renounce terrorism, on what moral ground will the Israelis resist talking? Talking does not mean giving up Jerusalem or surrendering all of the West Bank and Gaza. After all (sic) final boundaries are a matter for negotiation. But it doe imply that Israel recognizes the right of the Palestinian people to some kind of state of their own.
The beliefs that peace can come without territorial concessions and without talking to the PLO is a dangerous illusion. An isolated theocratic Israel, feeding on fundamentalist passions, will arrange for war and national suicide. To avoid this catastrophe requires courageous statesmen. It also requires bold public pressure by the Israeli government by Diaspora Jewry and by Western governments, to respond positively to the Palestinian initiative.
Without peace the stranglehold of the militant Orthodox will never be broken.

Are you sure you're an Ohio non-resident? Bright-line residency effectively muted: Ohio Supreme Court rules taxpayers must satisfy the burdensome common-law domicile test for Ohio income tax even when residency affidavit filed.
The Ohio Supreme Court delivered a significant blow to individuals claiming nonresident status for Ohio personal income tax under the bright-line residency statute. Cunningham v. Testa, 2015-Ohio-2744. The Ohio statute provides that an individual is irrebuttably presumed to be a nonresident if the individual satisfies three requirements: (1) maintains an abode outside Ohio for the entire year; (2) satisfies the contact period test (recently increased to less than 212 Ohio contact periods); and (3) files an affidavit verifying domicile is outside Ohio. R.C. 5747.24(B). Bright-line residency, originally enacted in 1993, is intended to streamline residency determinations which under the common-law domicile test are extremely fact intensive.
In Cunningham, the taxpayer signed a homestead exemption application for his Cincinnati residence under penalties of perjury attesting that he was domiciled in Ohio. This contradictory statement meant his residency affidavit contained a false statement – that he was not domiciled in Ohio. Due to the false statement, the non-residency presumption was no longer irrebuttable and actually required the taxpayer to meet the common-law residency test. The Court then considered a bevy of additional facts in concluding the common-law test was not met – that the taxpayer voted in Ohio; held an Ohio driver's license; was born, raised, and educated in Ohio; was married and raised a family in Ohio; and generally had mailed delivered to Ohio.
Quoting the Board of Tax Appeals' decision, the dissent points out this decision "essentially renders the 'bright-line' non-residency status… moot, as the commissioner could always challenge the veracity of the statement that the taxpayer was not domiciled in Ohio." The question now becomes what constitutes a "substantial basis" for disputing the affidavit's non-residency statement and how specific must the Tax commissioner's information be to support this basis. Does it require a contradictory statement sworn to under penalties of perjury, as in Cunningham, or is any fact supporting non-residency, such as registering a vehicle with Ohio, sufficient? The only certain protections taxpayers have are those facts which the Tax Commissioner cannot consider under O.A.C. § 5703-7-16(A).
This decision is contrary to Governor Kasich's policy to reduce Ohio individual income tax obligations through reduced rates, minimizing tax on small-business owners, and increasing the permissible presence under the bright-line residency statute. It will have significant implications for taxpayers claiming non-Ohio residency, but having multiple residences, such as retirees with significant investment / intangible income that split time between Ohio and another state. We will post a follow-up article with planning tips that individuals should consider to increase the likelihood their non-resident status will be recognized under this new interpretation of the bright-line statute based upon our substantial experience supporting non-resident status under the common-law domicile test. If you have any questions, contact Steve Dimengo, Rich Fry, or Casey Davis.

Under the estate transformation approach, it would appear that any after acquired asset would not become property of the estate unless that property would be necessary to complete the terms of the plan. As an example, if a Chapter 13 plan was filed to repay priority tax claims and the debtor was later wrongfully terminated any chosen action necessary to complete the terms of the plan would become property of the estate to the extent necessary to repay those priority claims.
In addition, the trustee would have the option of attempting to modify the plan under section 1329 to increase the dividend to unsecured creditors if the trustee felt there was additional disposable income available. However, if the asset is not necessary to the fulfillment of the plan (and it is not property of the estate) does it need to be disclosed? Clearly if the asset is a cause of action, it must be disclosed regardless of whether the asset is property of the estate, otherwise the debtor may be barred from pursuing that action through judicial estoppel.
The estate trustee, of his own agreement, abandoned the property and returned it, fully encumbered, to the debtor. The property was no longer part of the estate.
A couple of years later, the home was sold at a tax sale because the debtor wasn't paying the taxes on it. At a tax sale, investors bid on properties. You, as an investor, if the home is worth $100,000, have to bid at least the amount of the owed taxes, or higher if bidding against another investor.
For investors, it is a great deal to bid at a tax sale because one of two things is going to happen. In this case, if no one redeems the property, the investor buys a $100,000 piece of property for $40,000, which is a very good deal. If the property is redeemed, the investor gets his money back, plus a 10% return on the investment ($4,000), which is not quite as profitable, but is still a very good short-term ROI.
The results were: the investor bid $40,000; the debtor didn't want the property and was out of the picture; and the mortgage company, for whatever reason, never paid the $10,000 tax bill (and the 10%). The mortgage company never started foreclosure proceedings, so the investor received the property, for $40,000, free and clear of any liens whatsoever, and owned it 100% outright. The county treasurer retained $10,000 to cover the taxes due, which left an additional $30,000, called an overage, which went to the current property owner – the investor. The overage did not go to pay any liens, because those were wiped out when nobody redeemed the property, so the county treasurer sent the $30,000 back to the homeowner.
When the estate trustee was informed about the overage refund, his reaction was, "Uh, uh, that's property of the estate." The trustee's position was that this was property of the estate at the time of filing and that the debtor apparently misstated the facts by claiming there was no equity in the house. But, in fact, there was equity in it because, as stated earlier, property of the estate includes any unforeseen, speculative contingent, and it is the debtor's responsibility to have listed it. We disagree with the trustee's position and have submitted a brief in an effort to settle through an even split of the $40,000.
In the case, Cowling v. Rolls Royce Allison (S.D. IN Case No. 1:11-cv-01719-JMS-TAB, Oct. 5, 2012), the court held "[a]t the outset, the Court must determine whether the claims Mr. Cowling asserts in this lawsuit should be included in his Chapter 13 bankruptcy estate. The clear answer is 'yes'. Under the Bankruptcy Code, a debtor must schedule as assets 'all legal or equitable interests of the debtor in property as of the commencement of the case.' 11 U.S.C. § 541(a)(1).
Additionally, causes of action which the debtor acquires while the bankruptcy is pending are also considered property of the bankruptcy estate. 11 U.S.C. § 1306(a)(1) ('Property of the [Chapter 13 bankruptcy] estate includes…all property of the kind specified in such section that the debtor acquires after the commencement of the case but before the case is closed, dismissed, or converted…')." The District Court simply dismissed the case without prejudice due to the debtor's lack of standing to bring the cause of action and thus did not need to even rule on the issue of judicial estoppel. The District Court also held that the debtor has an ongoing duty to schedule newly acquired assets while the case is open. Sections 1307 and 1330 allow for revocation of confirmation and dismissal in limited circumstances where the confirmation order itself was procured through fraud.
