Students at Ohio State University are returning to class, still shaken by a Monday attack that left eleven people wounded and a suspect dead. Callers to 911 describe the frightening moments after Abdul Razaq Ali Artan drove through a crowd, then began slashing at victims with a butcher knife. (Published Tuesday, Nov. 29, 2016)
Kerri Strausbaugh, a victim Monday's bloody attack at Ohio State University, was on her way to class that morning when she was suddenly surrounded by people screaming and running for their lives, NBC News reported.
After turning around to see what was happening, she says she locked eyes with Abdul Razak Ali Artan, the 18-year-old student who attacked several students on the OSU campus. Strausbagh said he told her, "I'm going to kill you," before slashing at her left arm and slicing through her skin.
She ran away from the attacker, finding safety in a nearby locked computer lab. Once inside, someone used a scarf to create a tourniquet for Strausbaugh's bloody arm, which needed 12 stitches.

What is Tagua?
From the rainforests of Ecuador, natural and sustainable beauty.
Treats Designs jewelry features tagua ("TAG-wuh") beads to create modern and sophisticated designs that don't cost the earth.
Tagua has the scientific name Phytelephas, meaning "plant elephant" because, after being dried and polished, the creamy white, smooth nuts are incredibly similar to elephant ivory. That's why tagua is often called vegetable ivory.
The tagua palm grows in the lowland rainforests of Ecuador and other South American countries. Tagua nuts grow in clusters on the palm, and fall to the forest floor when ripe. Growing and harvesting tagua is one way of preserving rainforest land.
It takes up to 15 years for the tagua palm to produce its first nuts. Each tree produces 20-50 lbs of nuts per year. The nuts take up to 12 months to ripen, until they are the colour and hardness of bone ivory. Once mature, a tagua palm will produce nuts for up to 100 years.
The nut clusters are gathered by people in rainforest communities, then dried for up to six months in the equatorial sun. Harvesting tagua causes no harm to any animals or the forests where it is gathered, and provides an economic incentive for local communities to protect the rainforests.
I work closely with artisans in the small village of Sosote, Ecuador, as the source of my tagua beads. In their workshops, the tagua is carved and handcrafted into a variety of bead shapes. Natural dyes bring beautiful bright colours and the beads are polished in a tumbler until they shine.
My designs are inspired by the rainforests of the world, from the temperate forests of my British Columbia home to the energy and atmosphere of the tropics.
2018 Holiday Season is just around the corner!
I made a bit of time for a break from the worktable, making new Treats for the upcoming holiday season, to share my upcoming fair schedule. Hope to see you at one...

Deleting Ada Lovelace from the history of computing
August 24, 2013 May 30, 2017 ~ vaurora
This post originally appeared on the Ada Initiative blog and was copied to this blog with minor updates.
Ada Lovelace (full name: Augusta Ada King, Countess of Lovelace) is a familiar figure in the history of computing. She is the world's first computer programmer, writing the instructions to carry out a computer program on what would have been the world's first computer if it had been built – the Analytical Engine, designed by famous inventor Charles Babbage.
Lovelace published the first computer program in a paper in 1843. Her paper was presented as "notes" on a previous, less complete paper on the subject which she also translated, but her "notes" were longer than the original paper and were considerably more insightful. She spent many months perfecting the paper, writing letters back and forth with Charles Babbage to check her work.
The depressing part? Some people argue that Lovelace did not write the first computer program, that Charles Babbage wrote it for her and she took the credit. Despite ample contemporary evidence in the form of Lovelace's letters to Babbage while she was writing the Notes, people have many arguments (often tinged with anger and contempt) for why she didn't write or even understand the first computer program.
Ada Lovelace: stupid, arrogant, and insane?
Arguments against Lovelace's authorship include: Lovelace made mathematical mistakes when she was learning mathematics, Lovelace failed to correct a mathematical error introduced by a printer in a reprint of someone else's work, Lovelace was literally insane, Lovelace had too high an opinion of herself, etc.
Interestingly, these arguments are rarely used to question men's authorship of joint works; indeed mental instability or difficult personalities sometimes seems to add to the reputation of male scientists and mathematicians (Nikola Tesla, John Nash, and Isaac Newton, to name just a few). Certainly I've personally never seen a single published mathematical error (actually, in her case merely failure to correct someone else's error) used as an argument against a male scientist's competency as a whole.
As another example of the lengths to which Lovelace's critics will go, Charles Babbage's biography, written long after Lovelace's death, has this statement on Lovelace's paper:
I then suggested that she add some notes to Menabrea's memoir, an idea which was immediately adopted. We discussed together the various illustrations that might be introduced: I suggested several but the selection was entirely her own. So also was the algebraic working out of the different problems, except, indeed, that relating to the numbers of Bernoulli, which I had offered to do to save Lady Lovelace the trouble. This she sent back to me for an amendment, having detected a grave mistake which I had made in the process.
People argue that "the algebraic working out" of the numbers of Bernoulli means that Babbage wrote the program to calculate the numbers of Bernoulli. Yet the paper contains an actual algebraic equation for calculating the numbers of Bernoulli – separate from the computer program – which would seem much more likely to be what Babbage is referring to.
Babbage's Difference Engine No. 2, CC BY-SA Canticle
More contemporary evidence in Lovelace's favor includes her extrapolations of what a general purpose computer could do, which stretched far beyond Babbage's ideas for its use (printing mathematical tables, mostly). She even proposed that computers could make music – definitely not Babbage's idea, since he was famous for his passionate hatred of music. The Computer History Museum's biography of Ada Lovelace says:
The idea of a machine that could manipulate symbols in accordance with rules and that number could represent entities other than quantity mark the fundamental transition from calculation to computation. Ada was the first to explicitly articulate this notion and in this she appears to have seen further than Babbage.
On balance, the evidence would suggest, if anything, that Babbage was the person who did not fully understand the computing capabilities of his invention and Lovelace had the greater knowledge.
Émilie du Châtelet
In the end, most arguments that Lovelace did not write the first program only make sense in the context of a common assumption: in any partnership between a man and woman, the man did the important work and the woman assisted and polished. Look at Voltaire and Émilie du Châtelet. Du Châtelet was a pioneer in the new discipline of physics, publishing several seminal papers in physics, a physics textbook, and a translation of Newton's Principia Mathematica. Voltaire and du Châtelet were long-term collaborators in the areas of physics and mathematics, working closely on many works, as well as lovers. However, Voltaire's primary or sole authorship of many of their joint works is rarely questioned.
As one example, only Voltaire's name appeared on a book he published, of which he later wrote, "Minerva dictated, and I wrote." Voltaire often referred to du Châtelet as Minerva (interesting in itself as it suggests that du Châtelet was a channel for the goddess of wisdom rather than the originator of her ideas). Is there any serious contention that Voltaire was not the primary author of his publications during the time he collaborated with du Châtelet? No. Was there plenty of evidence that she contributed significantly to his published works? Yes.
"How to Suppress Women's Writing" by Joanna Russ shows the patterns in how people dismiss women's writing: "She didn't write it. She wrote it but she shouldn't have. She wrote it but look what she wrote about. She wrote it but she isn't really an artist, and it isn't really art," ad nauseum. The exact same arguments are used by people trying to dismiss Lovelace's programming, right down to "She wrote it but she isn't really a programmer, and it isn't really a program."
Lovelace's current Wikipedia page reflects the effect of thousands of people arguing against giving credit to Lovelace: "[…] She is often considered the world's first computer programmer" – unfortunately, probably the most positive statement we can reasonably expect. But what Lovelace needs is not a better Wikipedia page, but a better biography.
The most evidence-based biography, "Ada: The Enchantress of Numbers," by Betty Alexandra Toole, quotes heavily from Lovelace's letters, but is written by someone without a deep understanding of computing. Other biographical works are written by people who appear to be heavily biased against Lovelace, often making extremely critical personal judgements and sweeping statements contradicting contemporary evidence without citing evidence to the contrary.
We're beginning to make progress, though: the first Ada Lovelace conference is scheduled for October 18, 2013 at the Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, New Jersey. Created by Dr. Robin Hammerman, this conference will celebrate "Lovelace's many achievements as well as the impact of her life and work, which reverberated through the sciences and humanities since the late nineteenth century. This conference heralds a recent resurgence in Lovelace scholarship thanks to the growth of interdisciplinary thinking and the expanding influence of women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics." Ada Initiative executive director Valerie Aurora will be giving a keynote address, "Rebooting the Ada Lovelace Mythos."
We should not be denigrating women's accomplishments in science based on specious arguments about personality, occasional errors, and collaborations with men. That's one of the purposes of Ada Lovelace Day: to bring recognition to women who have had credit for their accomplishments stolen from them.

Suicide and society: Where does responsibility for preventing suicide lie?


This year we travel to NE Oregon to begin our annual 5 day backpacking trip. This year I have 4 other men joining me and we will be hiking in the Eagle Cap Wilderness through the Wallowa Mountains. The trip is based on a loop but incorporated a few days for side loops.
The wilderness beauty was beyond what I expected. All five of us started from Two Pan Trailhead heading up the Minam Lake Trail, spending 2 nights at Minam Lake with a day trip over to Blue Lake. Minam lake provided swimming, fishing and serious relaxation. We were even treated to a sunset on the second evening.
Three of us continued over over the 8548′ Carper pass on the Ivan Carper Trail #1661 into the Lakes Basin. The climb is challenging and mostly exposed.
We passed by Mirror Lake and ended up camping at Moccasin Lake planning on a few nights with days hikes and more fishing. We hiked the Basin Lakes loop over by Douglas Lake and back.
My buddies were tired but I felt like I needed to see Glacier Lake up above in front of Eagle Cap. This solo climb to Glacier Lake was the ultimate highlight for me. Here is a glimpse.
You could incorporate a loop up past Glacier Lake down to the Frazier Lakes and back around to the Lakes Basin area.
We ended this awesome trip by hiking out along the East Fork of Lostine Trail #1662.

"And you shall be secure, because there is hope; yes, you shall dig about you, and you shall take your rest in safety" (Job 11:18).
Hope is my favourite word. It has helped me survive and not give up looking for meaning during hard times when all appeared lost. It gave substance to the other great words which I needed to trust in: love, faith, and prayer. Why do we place such confidence in these profoundly spiritual expressions of life? I think one of the reasons is because of our 'expectation', that not only are these movements into grace possible, but also do-able. Outside the living-out of hope, this longing for delivery and restoration, how else are we to put into practice those other hope-inspired acts which give purpose and meaning to our lives? Hope is the opposite to despair. It means refusing to surrender or to believe there is no way out. Hope can change everything, and it usually does. Hope is "to bend your ear over your almost shattered lyre," recollecting George Frederic Watts's evocative painting "Hope" (1886), "to catch the music from the last remaining string." Needless to say, hope can be experienced in different ways, like our unique reaction to the ringing of a doorbell past midnight.

Homeschooling - poking the Beast in the eye with a big stick - Part 3
Posted On: Monday - January 29th 2018 6:43PM MST
In Topics: Immigration Stupidity US Police State Liberty/Libertarianism Orwellian Stupidity Anarcho-tyranny Educational Stupidity
This post is to wrap up some thoughts about homeschooling from the writing about it last week here and here and to add a tie in with the Immigration Stupidity topic key. Let's do that in reverse order though:
Banned from America - too white, too Christian, and too family oriented
Yeah, the family above, a regular (that means man and women to the readers in Yuerba Buena) with their 6 kids had tried to immigrate from Germany to the US due to being persecuted for trying to raise their kids themselves. NEIN! ISS VERBOTEN! You must turn ofver der kindervolk to zie STADT! (American version: This is highly irregular! How can your kids be properly indoctrinated socialized with out government schools? Unheard of. It can't be done!) This story is now four years old, and though the Peak Stupidity blog does not normally link to the Lyin Press (even "Red" version), we did here because the headline (even the URL) tells the story: Team Obama wins fight to have Christian home-school family deported.
This was back in the worse old days of the Øb☭ma presidency. I would hope President Trump's Dept. of Justice with executive Jeff Sessions would do good people like these right ... but you can't ever tell with them.
They wanted to live in a country where they could raise their children in accordance with their Christian beliefs.
The Romeikes were initially given asylum, but the Obama administration objected – claiming that German laws that outlaw homeschooling do not constitute persecution.
"The goal in Germany is for an open, pluralistic society," the Justice Department wrote in a legal brief last year. "Teaching tolerance to children of all backgrounds helps to develop the ability to interact as a fully functioning citizen in Germany."
On Monday, the Supreme Court declined to hear the Romeike's appeal – paving the way for the Christian family of eight to be deported.
"I think this is a part of the Obama administration's overall campaign to crush religious freedom in this country," said Michael Farris, chairman of the Home School Legal Defense Association. His organization is representing family.
"The Obama administration's attitude toward religious freedom, particularly religious freedom for Christians is shocking," he told me in an exclusive telephone interview. "I have little doubt that if this family had been of some other faith that the decision would have never been appealed in the first place. They would have let this family stay."
Had the family stayed in Germany, where homeschooling is illegal, they would have faced the prospect of losing their children. Like the Pilgrims, they fled their homeland yearning for a place where they could be free.
Farris said the religious bias perpetrated by the Obama administration is "palpable."
"It's a denial of the essence of America," he said. "The Pilgrims left England to go to Holland to seek religious freedom. They came here to seek religious freedom and parental rights for their children. Had this administration been waiting at Plymouth Rock, they would've told the Pilgrims to go back home."
It's some sick, sick stuff that's being done to replace the American civilization. Read over that 3rd short paragraph again about the "pluralistic society" and "tolerance". There is NO tolerance for anyone like these good white Christians to live the way they would like to. The kids must be taught to accept ANYONE and EVERYONE who DIE STADT decides will live in Germany - only that way the kids will be good Germans. Orwellian there, and do you see why Peak Stupidity has written about that country as Bizarro Germany yet? (read further here.)
Yes, America has Germany beat still in freedom and respect for freedom of parents to raise their own kids. It is only inside the schools where things go all to hell. Even as well meaning as most of the teachers may be and as well-educated as, what, 10% ? of 'em may also be, they don't run these places. I've seen this business up close, as was explained in latter part of Part 2.
Just the idea of sticking it to the system appeals to me, as homeschooling does in 2 ways. First, the school system loses money when fewer students attend, saving the taxpayers money in the long term and hurting BIG ED. More importantly, for the family involved, raising independent-thinking bright kids is something they can be proud of the rest of their lives, but for the rest of us, puts fear into the eyes of the elite globalists that run things, along with their underlings.
Yes, it is more of a sacrifice than cutting the TV cable, already pretty hard for most Americans. However, it's not quite as big a project as some make it out to be without knowing how much time is really wasted in government schools. Once the kids can read, 3 or 4 hours per day can be enough time for them to learn, more than get taught, more than kids learn from BIG ED. The rest of the time at home can be one big-ass field trip.
What do you think Americans did 100-200 years ago, before this Prussian-influenced crap? Oh, you say they were stupid back then? Best look on-line for one of those 8th grade tests from 1910 or whenever. I think the level of stupidity was much lower then than it is today.
Do you not like the way things are going in this country? Joined Ross Perot's Reform Party way back, then the Tea Party, then went to Trump rallies? Written lots of letters, have you, and made phone calls to "your" congressional staffers? Listen, good on ya', and I'm not knocking any of that. Having 20 million instead of 2 million children in homeschooling would just beat hell out of all from everyone put together. The parents that keep their children out of the government indoctrination camps are the true "think globally/act locally" folks that represent the spirit of America.

Leslie Crouch is a mother of three girls who range in age from 17 to 22. As most mothers, Leslie has actively contributed in her girls outside activities while working in several fields. Her background in business ranges from restaurant management to the Director of Marketing at a toy company. Realizing that there were Bunco groups and clubs dating back to the early 20's Leslie saw an opportunity to box this popular pastime and bring it to market. Leslie's interest in games started in the mid 90's as she found herself drawing on butcher paper the template for "It's Bunco Time, Instant Party in a Box". And, so.. the story begins how Leslie acquired the family of Bunco trademarks.
I am in a bunco group that has lost all of its' original members except 2 and we ran into a discrepancy on the rules pertaining to the head table. We were on our first go around on at the head table and the 3rd person to roll rolled a bunco and no extra points. The 4th person then rolled since they had not rolled yet and rolled a couple of points and then a bunco. The way we have played for years is that the 3rd person's team would have won because they rolled a bunco first, however the 4th person believed that they won because rhe only points were scored by 3rd and 4th rollers only and the 4th persons was more regardless that the person before them rolled the bunco first. They justified it because at the losers tables it doesn't matter who rolls a bunco because we have to wait on the head table so the score is what counts. I hope you can tell me who should have won at the head table because I can see both sides of the argument.
If everyone at the head table had a turn rolling then the 4th person and partner would be the winner. There would be no sense in everyone getting an even amount of turns rolling if you were not going to take the (4th person in this case) last roll into account.
Wheeeew. I hope that helps.
RECIPES TO ADD TO YOUR BUNCO NIGHT!
Slice the shrimp slightly to tail and stuff with a mixture of cream cheese seasoned with the wasabi.
Dippers- focaccia bread cubes, Italian bread cubes, mozzarella or provolone cubes, or cooked tortellini or ravioli.
In a large skillet, cook the sausage, onion, and garlic until meat is brown. Drain off fat. In 3 1/2 or a 4 quart crock pot, combine spaghetti sauce, mushrooms, pepperoni or Canadian style bacon, and basil or oregano.
Stir in the meat mixture. Cover, cook on low heat setting for 3 hours. If desired, stir in ripe olives and sweet pepper. Cover, cook on low heat setting for 15 minutes more.
To serve, spear the dippers with fondue forks and dip into the fondue.
Mix ingredients together, refrigerate, and enjoy!

Effective July 1, 2015, legislation (SB 113) removes several impediments to direct wine shipping to Indiana consumers, including the requirement that all consumers must have made a one-time face-to-face visit to the winery prior to placing any subsequent orders. Instead, licensed direct shippers are allowed to use standard age verification procedures to ship off-site sales to Indiana consumers. The new law also removes the surety bond requirement and increases the total amount of wine a direct shipper may sell into the state from 3,000 to 5,000 cases per permit year. SB 113 also changes permit fee to a tiered structure based on the amount of wine sold to consumers during the previous calendar year– all wineries shipping 1,000 cases or less into the state pay a $100 fee. Those shipping more than 1000 cases will face a tiered structure that tops out at $500 for those shipping up to 5,000 cases in the permit year.
A winery that is licensed as a Primary Source in Indiana may not also hold a Direct Wine Seller permit or a Farm Winery Permit.
Direct Wine Seller applicants must register with the IN Secretary of State and name a "Registered Agent" in the State of Indiana.
Stamp, print, or label on the outside of the shipping container the following: "CONTAINS WINE. SIGNATURE OF PERSON AGE 21 OR OLDER REQUIRED FOR DELIVERY.".
Wineries wishing to both sell to an Indiana wholesaler and ship direct to Indiana consumers can apply for a Farm Winery permit and a Direct Wine Seller permit. Out-of-state wineries applying for both a Farm Winery permit and a Direct Wine Seller's permit can apply for both permits simultaneously, but applicants must complete a separate New or Transfer Permit form for the Farm Winery permit.


The sonnet below is based on two lines from Sonnet I -Are Daddy's Words the Truth or Does He Lie?, "With hope, I shift my eyes and look above/The bed. Escape and find relief again." Dissociation is a common occurrence for traumatized individuals. We escape to a safer place. The new sonnet is written from the point of view of the source of my escape and relief, Jesus Christ. While He did not stop the abuse, He was always there to provide comfort and relief. Why He didn't stop what was happening to me is a topic for another day.
Of knowing that he will not be denied.
Your eyes fill with tears when he comes again.
If you are asleep, maybe he won't stay.
He is not deceived that you are serene.
I want to shout to make him go away.
But I can only gaze upon the scene.
Frantic, you seek a way to find relief.
Finally, you understand that I am here.
He does not know I take away your fear.
To shield your soul and wipe away your tears.

Q: What does LAN/traffic congestion mean? While talking about UDP I saw/heard congestion come up a few times. What does that mean?

A: congestion is when you are trying to send too much data over a limited bandwidth, it cannot send the data faster than the incoming amount so additional packets are dropped.
When congestion occurs, you can see these effects:

*

*Delay due to the queue at one end of the connection being too big, so it takes time for your packet to be transmitted.

*Packet loss when new packets are simply dropped, forcing connection resets (and often causing more congestion).

*Lower quality of service, protocols like TCP will do a cutback on the transmission rate, so your throughput will be lowered.

*Blocking, certain networks have protocol priorities, so your UDP packets may be dropped in favor of allowing TCP traffic through.
Its like a traffic jam, imagine right after a sports game where a parking lot full of cars is trying to empty out into a small side street.

A: It means that network-connected devices are attempting to send more data across the network than it can handle, e.g. 20 Mbps of data across a 10 Mbps link.
In context of UDP, it's your main source of lost datagrams under ordinary circumstances.

A: Most LANs use some sort of a collission detection/avoidance system. A congestion typically means that the amount of data which is being transmiited on the medium is causing enough collissions to deteriorate the quality of service defined for that medium.
You may want to read up CSMA/CD at wikipedia.
As UDP packets can often be broadcasted, congestion can occur more often.
Kind regards,

A: For instance, Ethernet is a broadband protocol. Once a message is sent, every node receives it but ignores if the packet are not sent to them. What happens when two nodes send a packet at the same time? It will cause a collision and data loss.
So, both of the nodes will have to resend the message. To avoid more collisions, nodes are designed to wait a random number of milliseconds. Otherwise they keep going on sending messages simultaneously and packages will collide forever.

New studies weigh costs, tradeoffs of boosting city's environmental standards for buildings.
Toughening the city's building-related environmental policy could modestly reduce citywide greenhouse gas emissions, but also would require modest to significant costs, according to recently released reports.
City Council established the Green Building Policy Update Task Force last fall to advise on ways to reduce public and private buildings' environmental impacts. This relates to a larger two-year effort, currently underway, to modernize the city's 2009 Environmental Action Plan. While the plan addresses several issue areas (open space, solid waste, etc.), the council-appointed commission overseeing the modernization emphasizes combating climate change. That involves mitigating the impact of buildings, which the commission says account for about 40 percent of carbon dioxide emissions nationwide — more than both industry and transportation.
The city hired Integral Group and WSP, consultancies, to analyze potential benefits and costs of stricter standards and enhanced incentives for green development.
Stricter standards, as opposed to "business as usual," could reduce annual greenhouse gas emissions of new construction by 20 percent, according to Integral Group's report. That would contribute to an citywide reduction of 3 percent.
Stricter city standards could also reduce water consumption in new construction by 29 percent, and citywide by 9 percent.
WSP's estimates suggest largely negative impacts on costs and financial returns, often minimal but sometimes substantial.
Increasing the certification requirement for new private development to LEED Platinum, the top rating on one industry-standard scale, would raise upfront costs by an estimated 1-8 percent. Building to even higher "net zero" standards (onsite energy generation offsets consumption) could yield between a 2-percent upfront cost savings and a 13-percent cost increase.
The report suggests generally less pronounced effects on upfront costs for new public development, like schools and fire stations. Even so, "an increased standard for public buildings has the potential to increase city capital costs by $25 to $40 million over the next 10 years." For comparison, last year's capital improvement budget estimated $18 million to replace a fire station; $35 million to overhaul city hall; $46 million to rebuild George Mason Elementary School.
No certification upgrade would budge a leasable residential or commercial project's yield-on-cost, a measure comparing project cost to the revenues a building generates, by more than one percent. That means higher building costs would more or less offset utility savings.
For for-sale residential, increasing to a LEED Platinum certification would reduce a project's estimated return-on-investment by about two percent.
WSP's study also considers potential incentives for green building, such as property tax breaks or density/height "bonuses." The latter, which permit bigger buildings than what zoning otherwise allows, in exchange for greener construction, would be among "the most cost efficient" options for the city. Arlington has employed a bonus density program since 1999.

IT pros need to weigh in on that 'sassy' security model
Secure-access service edge (SASE) model developed by Gartner ties into SD-WAN, edge computing and SD-Branch, so it warrants attention from networking teams
Credit: Dreamstime
Lee Doyle (Network World) 29 January, 2020 16:00
Cloud services that provide both network and security intelligence are gaining popularity because they are easy to consume and they improve agility.
Similarly, a model known as SD-Branch is providing network and security functionality at the WAN edge on a single platform.
Both of these trends have contributed to the development by Gartner of a network architecture known as the secure-access service edge or SASE, which "converges network (for example, software-defined WAN) and network security services (such as [secure web gateways], [cloud access security brokers] and firewall as a service)."
SASE (pronounced "sassy") would primarily be delivered as a cloud-based service, Gartner says.
This model is gaining awareness among enterprise IT leaders, and it has the potential to become a leading architecture at the edge during the 2020's, but these leaders should be cautious about jumping immediately on the SASE bandwagon.
The status of SASE
Today, SASE is an intellectual discussion; it is not a market, and comprehensive solutions are not currently available.
The breadth of technology required to deliver SASE means that suppliers have incomplete offerings, often with limited integration between elements such as LAN,WAN and security. Dozens of vendors are positioning themselves as SASE suppliers, but none is likely to emerge as a clear leader in the next two years.
How to deliver SASE remains in flux, with traditional network hardware, network software, services and cloud-based solutions all part of the equation. Most IT organisations will need the help of strong partners to implement SASE fully, and these potential partners have work to do.
Large suppliers have broad technology capabilities but are slow moving. Innovative smaller suppliers have limited resources and are likely acquisition candidates.
Managed service providers, communications service providers and channel partners will need to greatly enhance their converged edge solutions to meet this demand.
Why SASE?
Cloud and SaaS adoption by enterprises has changed network traffic patterns, requiring fundamental change in network and security architectures.
As Gartner notes, the role of the enterprise data centre has changed dramatically. More user traffic goes to cloud services than to those data centres, and more workloads run in IaaS than the data centres. Cloud services contain more sensitive data than enterprise data centres.
The use of the enterprise network has also changed, with more user work done off the network than on, and more applications accessed via SaaS than the enterprise, Gartner says.
So, controlling access and applying security policies based on the user, device and application that are connecting to the network makes more sense than focusing access control on the data centre.
Advances in network/security software and cloud intelligence have enabled new solutions which are quick to deploy, scalable, flexible and simple to manage such as SD-WAN, SD-Branch and CASB.
Edge computing and IoT applications require distributed, low-latency networking and security that are likely to be delivered as cloud-based services.
Impact of SD-WAN
SD-WAN is the leading network technology to watch with regards to SASE. SD-WAN is gaining significant traction as distributed organisations are looking to improve application performance at their branch locations.
The SD-WAN market has dozens of suppliers, highly fragmented market share and lacks a dominant vendor.
The SD-WAN market will continue to see dynamic innovation, especially with regards to cloud-based intelligence, native security functionality and security partnerships. Leading SD-WAN platforms, over time, will be able to deliver SASE-like functionality.
Security trends affecting SASE
Network security markets remain highly competitive, and, as is the case with SD-WAN, have dozens of suppliers, fragmented market share and no dominant player. Network security intelligence is moving to the cloud (i.e. CASB) and solutions are increasingly being delivered as a service.
Leading network security providers are adding network functions including routing and SD-WAN. Over time, leading network security platforms with these improved networking capabilities will start to offer SASE functionality.
Impact of IoT and mobile edge computing
IoT and other edge applications may require low-latency network and security services. The SASE architecture, with its distributed, cloud-based intelligence, can meet the demanding latency requirements of edge-computing applications.
Organisations with existing or planned IoT deployments will benefit from SASE technology trends by improving IT intelligence at the edge/branch.
SD-Branch, which combines LAN, Wi-Fi, SD-WAN, routing and security functionality in an integrated solution, is a prime example of what SASE solutions might look like.
Suppliers are will improve their SD-Branch solutions by providing better functional integration between technology elements and offering IT end-to-end quality of service, security policies and unified management.
IT, security silos complicate SASE
Deployment of SASE architectures will be strongly influenced by existing network and security organisational structures, whose silos have hampered deployment of software-defined data centres. Deploying SASE will require approval from a full range of IT and security teams.
Large organisations with dedicated security and IT teams will likely take significant time to evaluate SASE offerings. Each team will have its own biases with regards to technology and each will have preferred suppliers.
Those organisations with lean IT teams or no dedicated security personnel are leading candidates for SASE adoption. These organisations lack the expertise to integrate the wide range of network/security functionality from multiple vendors.
SASE, with its all-in-one cloud model, should be well suited to small and mid-sized organisations to consume as a managed service because they are least likely to have dedicated teams.
Evaluating SASE
IT and security leaders should educate themselves on the coming SASE technology options becoming available over the next few years. The convergence of network and security with cloud-based intelligence will dramatically alter the architectural options they have for delivering secure IT services.
While the trend is clear enough today, the timeframe for mainstream deployment of SASE solutions may extend out five years or more.
As with any nascent technology, the initial SASE solutions will have significant drawbacks in terms of functionality and integration but will improve greatly over time.

Labour must take stock of Muscat legacy
The Labour Party keeps paying the price of being associated with people like Keith Schembri, which the party has never disowned; much as it will never disown Joseph Muscat for the political crisis that befell the nation when Yorgen Fenech was arrested in 2019
21 March 2021, 9:18am
Keith Schembri was yesterday charged in a raft of accusations that include corruption and money laundering.
He was not in the dock because he was a Bormla boy done-good-for-himself; or because he was such a central part of the Muscat administration; or because the "establishment" was hunting him down, supposedly to make him an example for the Moneyval adjudicators that are yet to pass judgement on Malta's greylisting (a situation to which the Muscat administration contributed no end in the first place). Schembri has been the establishment for the past decade, a businessman in his own right with a keen eye for tax avoidance, for drawing friends-of-friends into his business network, and for turning the seat of Maltese political power into his personal fiefdom. It is this kind of establishment that employs a total control of political life and the instrumentalization of weak governance structures for their personal gain, that hollowed out the Muscat administration of the good will it manipulated in its quest for power.
Whether or not the accusations that were yesterday read out to him in court will subsist, is a matter left to the prosecution; he may be innocent before proven guilty, but his central role in a string of scandals, the Panama Papers, his connection to 17 Black which he had dared deny, his ties to Yorgen Fenech, the alleged mastermind in the Caruana Galizia assassination, as well as his reported efforts in allaying the fears of assassination middleman Melvin Theuma before his arrest, have long consigned Keith Schembri to the dustbin of Maltese political history.
But Schembri persists in instrumentalising that very dedicated following of loyalists who treat him as a party stalwart or, as he himself fashions it, a victim of the 'establishment', a buzzword employed by the Labour administration and which now risks becoming Schembri's own keyword.
Yesterday marked an important stage in Maltese political life. The charges themselves are a sign of a functioning police force. The Abela administration has been clear-cut on restoring national credibility in an area where the previous administration seems to have wantonly taken Malta to the brink. Yet Labour keeps paying the price of being associated with people like Keith Schembri, which the party has never disowned; much as it will never disown Joseph Muscat for the political crisis that befell the nation when Yorgen Fenech was arrested on suspicion of being the mastermind in the Caruana Galizia assassination. But the names of Keith Schembri, and more recently former Labour minister Chris Cardona, never seem to be too far away from this assassination. How long until this country will have to make amends with the political machinations that enabled the assassination of a journalist?
Without an internal process that clearly re-evaluates the legacy of both Muscat and Schembri, the average Labour voter will regard these people as heroes and victims, rather than persons who have a lot to answer for, in terms of both political judgement and possibly direct or indirect involvement in the scandals which rocked his administration.
When the Enemalta-Montenegro scandal was linked to Yorgen Fenech's 17 Black, the same company identified as a target client of the Panama companies, Robert Abela rose to the occasion by calling on the party's national executive to remove Konrad Mizzi from Labour MP. Already then, that was an action that could have inspired an internal process leading to a re-evaluation of the legacy left by Muscat in office. It is clear that even today, there is a need for an internal party inquiry that gives Labour clear recommendations, similar to those held after election defeats, on the scandals its administration has presided over.
The politically astute Schembri, as evidenced in the lengthy Facebook post in which he attempted to once again influence the news cycle, knew then that by painting himself as a child of Labour hunted down for his public service or political beliefs, stands a chance of being seen as a victim. He knows that without meaningful political change, especially inside Labour but also in government, he can foment some form of pressure on those who are trying to close the circle around him. It is the same tactic he used in a court testimony last year in which he dismissed the circumstantial evidence linking him to a plot to kill Caruana Galizia, by using it to delegitamise critics and journalists… always politically effective enough to rally Labour supporters to his side and muddle public opinion.
Still, even Labour voters should note that while the government is obliged to respect the presumption of innocence, including Schembri's, Robert Abela's administration should be sending out a strong message of political atonement. The normal functioning of the police force and justice on the Caruana Galizia assassination and so many scandals that plagued the Labour administration, are indeed the first steps.
Only then will Abela prove he does not owe anything to his predecessor.

Senior Showcase: Haley Uttley
Uttley and debate partner Hawn during a tournament.
Haley Uttley, senior political science and communications major and member of the debate team, has a laundry list of impressive achievements from her four years on the William Jewell College team. Just this year, she and her debate partner, Ethan Hawn, senior political science major and international relations major, won the I-70 Championship Cup and first place Part 1 and second place in the Texas Two-Step tournament, were quarterfinalists at the Georgia Bowman Invitational tournament, semi-finalists at the Rice University Classic, finalists at the Bearcat Classic, finalists at the Hunsaker Invitational and finished as a top five team out of 458 ranked teams in the year-long National Parliamentary Tournament of Excellence (NPTE).
"The national rankings compile results from each regular season tournament to display how teams rank up against each other heading into the National Championship tournaments. Four years ago, David Hansen and Katelyn Johnson, the 2016 NPDA National Champions, also finished 5th in the season-long rankings. This consistency is telling of the competitive strength of the debate program at Jewell," said Uttely.
Individually, Uttley won awards for being the top speaker at the Texas Two Step tournament, top speaker at the Missouri National Warmup, second place speaker at both the Steve Hunt Classic Invitational and second place at the McKendree University Swing. She ascribes her success to the supportive community at Jewell.
"Ethan and I made it our goal to become an elite debate team. Over the past four years, we have climbed the national rankings due to an incredible amount of support from our coaching staff and teammates, and the ability to attend nationally competitive tournaments afforded to us by Jewell," Uttely said.

Uttley decided to debate in college for a variety of reasons.
"I wanted the chance to debate for a national debate championship coach and team that I knew had the expertise to elevate my development. I fell in love with debate in high school and knew that I was not done. Being a collegiate debater is not easy, but it has been the most formative part of my college experience. Debate pushed me to compete with some of the top students in the country from Universities such as Rice and Berkeley, taught me how to formulate a well-warranted argument and exposed me to ideas and subjects I otherwise would not have encountered," said Uttely.
Uttley describes the process of preparing for a round of debate as the most rewarding part of her debating experience and is appreciative of the quality of competition the debate community has provided her. In reflecting upon her Jewell experience, she expressed appreciation for the role faculty have played in her education and development.
"My professors often go out of their way to support my academic and personal development. Having the opportunity to sit in the classroom with Jewell faculty is a privilege I am extremely grateful for. Not only are they great academics, but they are also great people. I think there is an obvious consensus among Jewell students that what makes Jewell great is the faculty," Uttely said.
After graduating, Uttley plans on attending the University of Missouri-Kansas City law school as a member of their class of 2022. When starting at Jewell, she was already considering pursuing a career in law.
"I greatly look forward to the privilege of purposing my skills to advocate for people who need someone in their corner," said Uttely.
Participating in debate guided her further along this path and fostered the skills necessary for law.

"Kyle Dennis, [director of debate], always emphasized to me that one of the end goals of debate was to get into a graduate school that I wanted to attend… One of the great things about debate is that you have the ability to work closely with a few coaches, or one coach, during your entire college career. That student-coach relationship is unique to debate and is instrumental in ensuring students are supported [and] thriving," Uttely said.
Uttley is grateful to Jewell for the opportunities provided by her courses and by debate, especially in fostering her desire to pursue law.
"Choosing to attend graduate school, especially directly after college, is a big decision. Without debate and my course work at Jewell, I do not know that I would have been adequately prepared to pursue law. At Jewell, I have taken three courses taught by adjunct professors with law degrees [Chief Justice on the Missouri Supreme Court Zel Fischer, Kate Noland and Beth Hazels]. Most of these courses are structured like a law school classroom, and I anticipate they will help me to succeed in my courses next year at UMKC. I love Kansas City and am extremely excited to begin studying law here and transition to after-college life in a few months," said Uttely.
Uttley wants to thank the College for supporting the debate team and for making exceptional student experiences like hers possible. She also thanked Dennis for his role in fostering her experience on debate.
"[Thank you] for putting in an impossible amount of work over the last four years to make Jewell debate a home and a team that demands excellence in debate and in life."

Are you working your 'S' off?
The Trust Equation is a deconstructive, analytical model of trustworthiness. It includes four variables: credibility, reliability, intimacy, and self-orientation.
When you increase credibility, reliability, and intimacy (the factors in the numerator) your trustworthiness increases. The flipside is that when you increase your level of self-orientation (the denominator), you decrease your trustworthiness.
Self-orientation is about focus. If your partner can say of you, "I trust that she cares about me and how this project will impact my career," then your focus is on your partner, not on yourself, and your self-orientation is low. Paradoxically, self-awareness helps reduce self-orientation; the better you know your own fears and foibles, the more you can manage them and focus on others.
This week, turn blind spots into insights. How?
