As American as Apple Pie: Chanukah at the Stadium

The Atlanta Hawks had just finished their basketball game when Jewish music pounded through the speakers, and rabbis and fans got up to dance around the menorah in the center of the basketball court. For Emily Hanover who organized on behalf of the Hawks with Chabad of Atlanta, last year's event, "was one of the proudest moments of my career."
Over a dozen sports stadiums will be hosting Jewish Heritage Nights during the Chanukah holiday, an event that has become popular with sport fans. Given the enthusiasm generated by last year's event, the Hawks decided to place Chanukah center stage at halftime and have a Jewish Heritage Night experience. Over one-thousand locals are expected to join the event.

"We are really pumped, super excited," said Hanover, whose family is coming to attend the event from Baltimore. This year's Chanukah ceremonies will include special lighting with the court looking like a menorah, videos produced for the occasions and a Family Fun Zone with live Chanukah entertainment, crafts, games and Judah the Maccabee.
Michael Berenbaum, Professor of Jewish Studies at the American Jewish University and Executive Editor of the Encyclopedia Judaica, has looked at the way Chabad relates to American culture. "I think Chabad has learned more about America, far more about America than virtually every other Jewish organization," he said. "It has learned to speak in American idiom. It also seeks to take part in American culture."
The author of eighteen books and scores of scholarly articles, Berenbaum observes that Chabad shluchim, themselves steeped in Jewish tradition and practice, are savvy in their use of technology to promote Judaism.
"Chabad has understood how to market in American culture, in its use of technology, even technology they don't particularly encourage," he told lubavitch.com.
Over Herring and Football
It all began in 1987 when the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, put out a call to reach more Jews and engage them in the Chanukah holiday's celebrations. Rabbi Raphael Tennenhaus had been hosting an annual Chanukah event that attracted several thousand locals in Miami, Florida. "I wondered where is a good place to reach more Jews than we are already reaching," Tennenhaus said.
It dawned on him to ask Billy Robbie, a good Christian who enjoyed attending the services at the Chabad of South Broward in Hallandale, Florida, with his university friend Abrahum Weisman. He especially enjoyed the pickled herring at the Shabbat meal. Billy Robbie was the son of Joe Robbie, the then owner of the Miami Dolphins.
Robbie liked the rabbi's idea of making a grand event at the Joe Robbie Stadium. He setup a meeting with the president of the team. "They were excited, but they let us know that the game is going to be live on ESPN and we needed to keep our program in halftime to five minutes. If we went over time, we'd be fined $5,000 for every minute," the rabbi says.
Tennenhaus went for it. The stadium was covered with bold signs: "NFL: Night of the Festival of Lights," and at half time, a grand Menorah was wheeled into center field. Live on ESPN, the cantor bolted out the blessings, lit the Menorah, the Chabad rabbis danced and Tennenhaus spoke.
It took 13 minutes. The fines would add up to $40,000.
The ever energetic Tennenhaus says that the fines he'd accumulated didn't matter. "There were hundreds-of-thousands of proud Jews watching the scene and 15,000 of them in the crowd." The opportunity to share Jewish pride, openly, in an American sports arena, was a rare, gratifying experience.
While waiting for the bill from the NFL, Tennenhaus met a local Reform rabbi, who told him that he and his colleagues have been preaching the idea of not exhibiting one's Jewish identity in the open. "You just killed it," he told Tennenhaus.
Tennenhaus, who had since given four invocations at the stadium, says that he still has not received the bill from NFL.
From Israel to Atlanta
Soon Chabad centers began working with their local stadiums. This year in Israel, activities at sports stadiums will be accelerated. "Every basketball game will have a Chanukah menorah lighting," says Rabbi Yaakov Gloiberman, a Chabad representative in Lod, Israel. Not much of a sports fan himself, he is known as the "Basketball Rabbi" in Israel for bringing Judaism to sports games. The Israeli Basketball Association produced special kippah head coverings and candles for fans to take home with them and light their own menorah.
Back in Atlanta, the event, says Rabbi Levi Mentz, a local Chabad representative, fosters feelings of unity and cohesiveness among the Jewish community.
For Hanover who has already consulted several other sports teams on making their own Jewish Heritage Night with Chabad, including the Denver Nuggets and the Washington Wizards, "it is all about the community, doing things that inspire people and having a great day to celebrate Chanukah with lots of fun," Hanover said.

Heirs to the Rebbe's Legacy
To anyone familiar with the Rebbe's teachings, the principles of positive psychology that are so popular today echo the Torah-based ideals that the Rebbe advanced: training our eyes, our thoughts, our speech, and our actions toward the positive. In his countless interactions—often with people who were philosophically or ideologically in disagreement with the Rebbe—we observed this principle at work.

Poway Rabbi Addresses UN Session on Anti-Semitism

He discussed recognizing the value of every human life, using social media as a platform for love and flooding the world with practical good deeds.

Tennis Capital Gets New Center and Scores "Advantage Chabad"
It's a little over thirty years in the making, but Chabad of Wimbledon now has its very own center!

I think it is human to suffer and to experience joy and connection and transcendence to. There are times in everyone's life where we feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unhappy. Counselling offers understanding, new perspectives and clarity. Coaching offers focus, energy and inspiration. Both offer the possibility of change.
Often we feel like we are on the same old hamster wheel, or even that life is drudgery. We know we are not looking to the left or right and we are in tunnel vision. These are the times coaching can really help by cracking us open to new ideas and fresh insights. Then there is a possibility to live a more purposeful and conscious life. We can learn from our experiences and live more wisely.
Many times in our lives we are repeating moods, emotions, behaviours, arguments, relationships or addictions. We can feel trapped and unable to see a way out. This mindset can drag us down but counselling can help energise us – whereas left on our own the energy for change can peter out. Counselling equips us with the truth so we can make wise decisions. It can facilitate a change in our outlook, unhelpful beliefs and behaviours.
Sometimes events or difficult circumstances bring us to counselling. Crises happen in all our lives: bereavements, divorce, serious illness and job loss to name a few. Or we have to face transitions and changes: parenthood, new jobs, menopause, retirement and new relationships for instance. Or we may have experienced particularly difficult times in our childhood which we know is affecting us. Counselling can help us understand these crises, changes and childhood experiences so that we can move on in less pain and sadness.
My philosophy stands on the shoulders of the greats. The existential philosophers, the spiritual thinkers, the psychotherapists and psychoanalysts of the last 2500 years. Other teachers along the way include my clients, my students and my own experience of living and loving.


CSX is doing maintenance work on the rail crossing in front of the plant at the intersection of River and Witmer Roads, closing off the most-used means of entering our driveway. According to CSX officials, the crossing will be closed 24 hours a day through Wednesday, August 24th. Some folks (specifically commuters) shoul…d plan to enter our main driveway from the north, taking Witmer Road from Niagara Falls Boulevard. Others, who typically come from River Road (which is most of our commuters and all of our truckers) can access Witmer Road by taking Ward Road north, turning left onto Warner and then left onto Witmer.
None of those are designated trucking routes…if a truck driver is pulled over, he/she is to explain the situation to the police.
To the community: We apologize for the inconvenience (our trucks will be traveling on residential streets on 1st and 3rd shift for the next week) but this unexpected closure of the main drag forces our hand. Between our trucks and incoming/outgoing trucks, there will be 40 trucks coming through a day. The only way to stop the traffic would be to layoff 200 people for a week…I won't do that.
And, this last note is for CSX: This is not the first time you neglected to tell us you were closing this absolutely critical crossing for what is the largest employer in the City (besides the school district). We were unaware of the repair and it's duration (hours? days?) and we did not get an answer about the duration of the repair until our team navigated FORTY minutes of phone calls to CSX and various city offices. Next time, please be a better community partner.

Louisa May Alcott Essay
Louisa May Alcott, or more commonly known as the author of the classic novel, Little Women, was born on November 29th, 1832 at Germantown, Pennsylvania. She was the second of four daughters born to Bronson and Abigail "Abba" Alcott. She had an older sister named Anna, and two younger sisters: Elizabeth and May. Through her writing and her novels, she managed to create a name for herself and achieve financial security for her family. She was truly a successful American author. Though the Alcott girls, including Louisa, never received any sort of formal education, they were taught by their father.
The family's friendship with Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau provided many opportunities as well. For example, Emerson allowed Louisa full access to his library. Louisa grew up at the Wayside Inn during a period called the "American Renaissance". The era was defined with major literary figures and philosophers such as Ralph Waldo Emerson and Nathaniel Hawthorne. Also in this era were women such as Margaret Fuller, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Lucretia Mott. Louisa also admired women writers such as Rebecca Harding Davis, the author of Life in the Iron Mills.
Louisa described her delight in meeting with Davis in one of her many diary entries. Growing up, Louisa's family moved frequently. In 1834, the family moved to Boston, where Bronson established the Temple School. The Temple School was a transcendentalist institution that failed in 1838 when it was attacked as 'religiously unorthodox'. Afterwards, the family moved to Concord, Massachusetts. During the years of 1849 to 1852, the Alcotts lived at various addresses in Boston. Eventually, when the rest of her family returned to Concord, Louisa decided to remain in Boston.
The frequent changes in her environment did not inhibit Louisa's writing. Even as a child, Louisa had a talent for writing. She has a vivid imagination, and was constantly encouraged by her father. She wrote often, and sisters would act out Louisa's stories for friends. It wasn't until early adulthood, however, that officially marked the start of Alcott's writing career. At the age of sixteen, Alcott produced a collection of fairy tales called Flower Fables. Though it wasn't published until 1854, Flower Fables was one of her earliest works.
She produced her own income by writing stories to submit to magazines, as well as doing a variety of jobs, from tailoring to housekeeping. The stories that she wrote were both sentimental and sensational, and were published in magazines such as Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper and The Flag of Our Union under the pseudonym of A. M. Barnard. She also spent much of her time writing Gothic Romances – stories with sensational plots, romantic settings, and horrifying themes. The year of 1858 marked many important events and changes in Louisa's life.
The events included the death of Louisa's beloved sister, Elizabeth "Lizzie" Alcott. More joyous things included the marriage of May Alcott to Ernest Nieriker. Now, Louisa, at the age of 25, decided to finally return to her family, now currently residing at the Orchard House in Concord. It is the Alcott's first permanent home, and it is there that the family would spend the rest of their lives. Louisa, however, still spent much of her time in Boston, where she continued to write. When the Civil War started, Alcott wanted to contribute to the war efforts. In 1862, she enlisted as a nurse at the Union Hotel Hospital.
Yet, within six weeks, she returned home after contracting typhoid. She was treated with a toxic mercury compound that was commonly used at that time. While she did recover, the effect of the compound permanently weakened her. Louisa never fully recovered. Her experiences were published in 1863 in a book, Hospital Sketches. It was a collection of letters to her family during the six weeks that she served as one of Dorothea Dix's nurses. Moods, Alcott's first acknowledged novel, was published in 1864. Like Hospital Sketches, it was a book intended for adult audience.
The novel was about a girl who married a man whom she was fond of, but not loved. After its publication, Louisa traveled through Europe by working as a lady's companion. The idea of Little Women came to be after the Civil War. In the September of 1867, Thomas Niles, Louisa's publisher, urged her to write a 'girl's story'. At this time, Alcott was working as an editor at Merry's Museum, an illustrated children's magazine. She had no problems writing the Little Women. Though she did it reluctantly, it was finished in six weeks. It was published in 1868, and gained great success almost instantly.
By transforming Anna, Elizabeth, May, and herself into Meg, Beth, Amy, and Jo March, Alcott managed to captivate thousands of girls with a story about her own family life. After the success of the first Little Women volume, Alcott wrote a second volume to Little Women in a mere two months. She published it as Little Women or, Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy, Part Second in 1869. The success for the book allowed Alcott to travel to Europe in 1870. The success of Little Women finally achieved the financial success she had long craved ("Alcott, Louisa May (1832–1888). ). She became a respected and successful novelist, and in 1870, her work was in demand. Sequels soon followed: Little Men, published in 1871, and Jo's Boys, published in 1886.
Aunt Jo's Scrap Bag, Eight Cousins, and A Garland for Girls were successful as well. While her works for children became very popular, her adult novels, such as Work, and A Modern Mephistopheles, were less so. Even with the success, Alcott never stopped doing what she loved most: writing. The year of 1877 marked the death of Louisa's beloved mother, Abigail May Alcott. My duty is done, and now I shall be glad to follow her. My only comfort is that I could make her last years comfortable, and lift off the burden she had carried so bravely all these years," she recorded in her journal (Kort). Louisa looked up to her mother, and Abigail was the emotional anchor for the Alcott family. After Bronson's stroke in 1882, Alcott moved to Louisburg Square with him. Also living there were her elder sister Anna (a widow by that time); Anna's two sons; and Louisa (May Alcott Nieriker's daughter, whose mother died in 1879).
On March 4th, Bronson Alcott died, and Alcott died two days later, supposedly of the long term effects of mercury poisoning, from when she contracted typhoid. She was buried in Concord's Sleepy Hollow Cemetery in the family's plot. During her lifetime, she wrote over 270 different works, and most memorably, Little Women. She never stopped writing. When she was young and well, she wrote almost feverishly. Even when she got sick, she never stopped writing. It was not until her death that she finally put her pen down. Even so, her stories lived on in our hearts.

The NBA's Amended Collective Bargaining Agreement Gives the Best Advantage to the Worst Teams
The NBA and the player's union agreed to an amended collective bargaining agreement ("CBA") early last week, following the conclusion of the 2019-2020 season in October. Both parties were forced to barter over and arrive at an amended agreement well before the expiration of the current agreement because the 2019-2020 season had been unexpectedly prolonged due to Covid-19. While the 2019 NBA season started on October 16th and ended on June 13th, this year's season ended on October 20th, nearly a week after the 2020 season should have started. Instead of simply moving next season back nearly a full calendar year to align with the usual schedule, the 2020-2021 season will begin December 22nd, a little before this post goes live on the JLA Beat. In an effort to return to a more typical timeline next season (i.e. the 2021-2022 season) and reduce travel, both parties agreed to reduce the number of games in the season from 82 to 72.[1] Yet although this agreement seems to favor the players by reducing the number of games played (and retaining the same salary cap and luxury tax as last year), this amended CBA creates stark imbalances in terms of team preparation and gives the worst teams from last year the best chance to succeed.
Like many other sports leagues, the NBA suspended its season in March due to Covid-19. However, by July, the NBA and the player's union had created a plan to resume play. To take utmost precautions against the virus, the NBA constructed a bubble campus in Florida and invited the teams with the best records in to play. These teams would finish the regular season to accommodate player salary requirements, finalize the seeding for the playoffs, and then determine a champion for the 2019-2020 season. The final regular season games were played on August 15th. Then, from August through October, a full slate of playoff games were played to determine the 2019-2020 NBA champions. This year, the Miami Heat and the Los Angeles Lakers competed for the title, with the Lakers winning it all on October 20, 2020 to end the season.
In a typical year, the average NBA offseason is nearly 27 weeks, or about seven months if a team doesn't make the playoffs.[2] In 2017, the two teams competing for the NBA championship had about 18 weeks between the end of the NBA finals and the beginning of the next season. This year, the two teams competing for the NBA championship will have approximately 10 weeks to rest, relax, and then suit up again for the next season. Teams that traveled to the bubble but didn't make the playoffs will have about 18 weeks between seasons. However, the teams that didn't make it to the bubble will have approximately 41 weeks, or close to 9 months, to prepare for the upcoming season. Resuming play a little over two months after the end of the season gives a clear advantage to the teams that were not invited to the bubble, did not play in the playoffs, and did not compete in the NBA Finals. Even the teams that didn't make the playoffs this year will have the same amount of rest as teams that went through an entire playoff run just three years ago. This amended CBA favors the teams that weren't good enough to be in the bubble and therefore didn't travel to the bubble and compete through the remainder the season. They have had almost double the time to recuperate, train, and prepare for the upcoming season as compared to the teams that competed this year, earned spots in the playoffs this year, and fought for a chance to compete for the championship this year. The league, the player's union, and the amended CBA rewards the worst teams in each conference for their inability to compete and punishes the competitive teams that sacrificed to come to the bubble and finish the season. To the victors usually go the spoils, but this year it seems that everyone, even the losers, have reason to celebrate.

Opus Trust Communications acquires Adare Sec
By The Editor - November 08, 2021
Opus Trust Communications, the omnichannel communications specialist will become a £110m turnover business as it announces the acquisition of Adare SEC for an undisclosed sum from its private equity owners, Endless LLP.
With sites in Huddersfield, Redditch and Nottingham, Adare SEC is an integrated communications provider specialising in very similar sectors to Opus Trust.
The deal, completed on Monday 1 November, will take the headcount at Opus Trust Communications from 180 to 530, exemplifying the size and scale of the agreement.
Following the strategic acquisition of Critiqom in 2019 and DocCentrics in 2020, the company will once again strengthen its capabilities and geographic footprint within the transactional communications market.
The deal reinforces Opus Trust Communications' credibility as a preferred partner in digital transformation and customer experience, building on the strides taken by Adare SEC in this area.
Furthermore, integrating the skill set of the companies will deliver even stronger market leading talent and enhanced expertise as Opus Trust continues to meet with the evolving needs of its customers.
The complementary nature of the businesses, underpinned by a shared commitment to deliver service excellence, is expected to accelerate the company's vision to be the leading trusted communications partner in the UK market.
The combined production power and enhanced digital and CX offering will ensure that clients have access to industry leading capabilities, whilst its increased reach and market positioning will deliver significant opportunities to colleagues as the business continues to flourish.
Chief Executive of Opus Trust Communications, Tony Strong (pictured), comments: "This acquisition is a significant moment in our story, and we look forward to welcoming both colleagues and clients from Adare SEC to the Opus Trust Group.
"While the market is contracting, we are investing to allow us to grow at scale and pace. We made the commitment to become a £100m business within five years and have achieved that in under three.
"With complementary specialisms, we are now a much larger and more resilient business, but we don't want to lose sight of our values or our wider ambitions. Our focus is to become the largest and best transactional communications partner in the UK market.
"As an acquisitive organisation we are already looking at further opportunities, however the relationships we have with our customers and the way we work so closely with them will remain our point of difference."
Rachael Nevins CEO of Adare SEC comments: "When we began the sale process of Adare SEC, we wanted to ensure that the business found the right new ownership. We are delighted that Opus Trust is that new partner who shares our vision of the future of the industry, our culture and our values."
As part of the sale, Ms Nevins will be stepping down from her role as CEO.
She continues: "It has been an honour to lead Adare SEC and its fantastic workforce over the last four years. All of our colleagues had to go the extra mile in recent times, dealing with impact of the pandemic, and I am humbled to have had the opportunity to represent them all".
James Woolley, Partner at Endless added: "The sale to Opus Trust today represents the culmination of five years of work to transform the business into a leading digital and integrated communications company in this industry. It has been a pleasure to work with Rachael and her executive team and I wish them, and all of our colleagues at Adare SEC, a bright future as part of the Opus Trust Group".

Do you ever have problems finding the perfect go-to blenders to match back with your main fabrics when creating your quilts? I am a print girl all the way but sometimes you need a solid or blender to mix into your quilt to truly appreciate all the beautiful prints and to add contrast to make your fabrics shine. If you are a Pat Bravo fan like me and already have prints from her previous collections then you definitely need to get your hands on her new collection called Matchmade! This collection was meticulously curated to work back with all her previous fabric collections. Of course, Matchmade fabrics also work well on its own or mixing with other various prints you may have.
What I love most about Matchmade is there are five different designs coordinated into four welcoming color groups, berry, gold, foliage and midnight! These tonal prints are just marvelous to sew with. I had the privilege of whipping up the free quilt pattern for this collection and these fabrics against the black solid background is just out of this world.
I can't wait to see what you all make with Matchmade fabrics for inspiration make sure to check out our new Fabric Project Catalog.


The Interim Budget presented by Piyush Goyal is being criticized by the opposition parties and has been named another 'jumla'.
Calling it a disappointment for the public, BSP chief Mayawati said in a statement that the Budget is a "jumlebaazi" which is far from finding solutions to existing problems.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal termed the Budget BJP's "final jumla", saying that the ruling government didn't earmark anything for Delhi.
While BJP leaders are unhesitatingly praising the Interim Budget, presented by Piyush Goyal.
Meanwhile, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that all sections of the society "including farmers, middle class, poor and women have been mentioned in this budget. This budget will help achieve the dream of a New India".


Cruises are a great vacation for families, though it can be difficult and there are some things you need to know before you leave.
Some cruise lines offer for kids to sail for free. There are also teen and kids club where your kids can hangout while you get a quick break.
A cruise is a great vacation for couples, but it's also a fantastic option for families, as the same great value proposition applies to multiple generations. Plus, what parent wouldn't appreciate the convenience of unpacking their family once and having their hotel (or ship, in this case) travel to several destinations with plenty of food and entertainment at their beck and call? That said, here are some things you should know before taking a cruise with the whole brood.
Before progressing too far ahead in planning, it's worth noting that not all children will be allowed onboard. There are even limitations for pregnant women joining the cruise, if they are too far along. (Generally, if you are at week 24, it's best to verify with the cruise line.) Some cruises don't allow babies younger than six to 12 months, while others have a no kids policy altogether, in order to maintain a certain decorum. Viking Ocean Cruises is one such line that only permits adults, but the bulk of the industry is very family-friendly.
It's worth asking which amenities will be sold onboard. In many cases, cribs can be requested and diapers and other child necessities can be purchased ahead of time and delivered to the stateroom. This often eliminates the need to pack any heavy extras in suitcases. Some, however, lack tubs, requiring parents to bring inflatable tubs or drain stoppers for showers.
One of the greatest benefits of a cruise is its supervised children's facilities, which allow parents to enjoy some alone time. What's more, most of the youth clubs are complimentary, with nurseries for the youngest generally being the only to charge extra. While there are plenty of activities for families to enjoy together onboard, kid-exclusive spaces often have children not wanting to leave, and parents are likely to feel the same of their adult-only venues as well. Some authorization can be granted by parents for certain aged children to check themselves out periodically, but otherwise they remain supervised.
These days, cruise ships are not only conducive to juvenile and mature tastes, but they are also very attentive to allergies and special diets. Kids will be able to enjoy macaroni and cheese while adults partake in surf and turf plates. Gluten-free and peanut-free options are also available. It's best to notify the cruise line of any dietary requirements ahead of time, so they can prepare accordingly, but most can accommodate on the spot, too. Those with infants, however, should note that not all cruises offer baby food or can mash food upon request, although some do.


Select the cell or range of cells that contains the numbers that you want to format as text.
Click the arrow in the Number Format box, and then click Text.
When you enter a number that begins with a zero—for example, a product code—Excel deletes the zero by default. If this is not what you want, you can create a custom number format that forces Excel to retain the leading zero. For example, if you're typing or pasting ten-digit product codes in a worksheet, Excel changes numbers like 0784367998 to 784367998. In this case, you could create a custom number format consisting of the code 0000000000, which forces Excel to display all ten digits of the product code, including the leading zero.
Occasionally, numbers might be formatted and stored in cells as text, which later can cause problems with calculations or produce confusing sort orders. This sometimes happens when you import or copy numbers from a database or other data source. In this scenario, you must convert the numbers stored as text back to numbers.
You can also use the TEXT function to convert a number to text in a specific number format.


By Nebraska State Senators Jeremy Nordquist (7) and John McCollister (20)Everyone agrees the nation's immigration system is a mess. Whatever the cause, it is time to adopt new strategies and focus on creating common-sense policies that embody our values and move our economy forward.
Nebraska is the only state in the nation that denies driver's licenses to Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) youth. Our legislation, Legislative Bill 623, attempts to rectify this situation, which occurred when former Gov. Dave Heineman directed the Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicles to deny driver's licenses to DACA recipients.
In our view, our state's policy of withholding a driver's license from a select category of deferred action immigrants is arbitrary and capricious, and it jeopardizes public safety. Public safety would be enhanced by making certain all drivers hold valid driver's licenses.
In 2012, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security established deferred action for certain undocumented young people who came to the United States as children.
To qualify for DACA status, a youth must: Have entered the U.S. before the age of 16, reside in the U.S. continuously since 2007, be enrolled in school, obtain a high school diploma or GED certificate, or be honorably discharged from the U.S. Coast Guard or Armed Forces; and not have a significant criminal history or pose a threat to national security.
DACA youth are not allowed to vote.
There are 2,700 DACA youths in Nebraska who have been issued Social Security cards and work permits. These young adults aren't citizens yet, but according to the Department of Homeland Security, they have lawful status.
Nebraska allows many other deferred action immigrants to have driver's licenses, including asylum seekers, victims of domestic violence and certain victims of human trafficking.
Many of these young immigrant Nebraskans were only infants or toddlers when they came to the U.S. and have lived nearly their entire lives in this country. Nebraska is the only home they know.
As Nebraska taxpayers, we have invested thousands of dollars in their K-12 and higher education. These well-educated young adults speak English and make significant contributions to their local communities and local economies.
The personal stories of DACA youth are compelling. Kimball resident Laura Flores is a DACA recipient and is studying pre-law and political science at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Flores, in her testimony in favor of LB 623, said not having a driver's license creates barriers for her to perform her daily routines such as attending class, reaching her job, attending church and meeting medical appointments.
Denying licenses to DACA youths makes it difficult for them to meet even their basic needs, especially in our state's rural communities.
It should be noted that Gov. Pete Ricketts, with a stroke of a pen, could rescind the previous order to the DMV to withhold driver's licenses to DACA youth. The current executive order also puts Attorney General Doug Peterson in the position of having to divert resources to defend Nebraska in a lawsuit. A similar policy in Arizona was recently held to be unconstitutional.
Nebraska's motto is equality before the law. However, this policy unfairly targets DACA youth while granting driver's licenses to the other deferred-action immigrants.
There is widespread support for LB 623. A majority of state senators have added their names to the bill as co-sponsors, and Omaha Mayor Jean Stothert is also supportive. LB 623 is supported by the Nebraska Cattlemen, Nebraska Dairy Association, Nebraska Catholic Conference, Nebraska Restaurant Association, Nebraska Retail Federation, Nebraska Fraternal Order of Police, League of Nebraska Municipalities, Nebraska Appleseed, Heartland Workers Center and ACLU of Nebraska.
Nebraska should have sound public policy consistent with a vision that our state truly welcomes the talent and energy that immigrants bring to our community.
Allowing educated young immigrants with lawful status to legally drive will help us achieve this goal.

Yoga is a great form of exercise that not only incorporates stretching, but also mindful awareness of your body through movement.
There are many schools of yoga with a wide variety of different poses. One of the most common schools of yoga is hatha yoga. The movement sequences, or flows, in hatha yoga incorporate exercises where you need to put body weight through your wrists. For example, downward-facing dog is one such pose.
It's not uncommon for some people to experience wrist pain when doing these wrist-loading exercises. Wrist pain when doing body-weighted yoga poses can be a result from an old injury, a muscle imbalance or overtraining. Although you may feel your yoga practice is limited because of this, don't fear!
In this article, Innovation Physical Therapy & Yogalife are teaming up to bring you a complementary perspective on this issue.
There are a variety of yoga poses that can load the wrists. Downward Facing Dog, Upward Facing Dog, Plank and Chaturanga are among the most common poses especially in a Vinyasa style class.
There are quite a number of bones that make up the wrist joint. 13 in fact! These bones work together to provide flexibility and stability to the wrist. Wrist pain can occur in a number of places, but the most common would be just below the thumb in the small divot that shows up when you spread all your fingers. As well, pain can commonly be experienced on both the front and back of the wrist.
When starting out in yoga, there is a common tendency to grip like a bear into the yoga mat. This can end up causing pain at the base of the wrist. When you're in the plank position lowering down to Chaturanga (or half push up), your elbows need to stay close to your body. Your legs should remain engaged while you lower down to the floor. This will keep your weight distributed throughout the body rather than using only your hands to lower your body.
One of the main instruction cues that yoga teachers remind students during a weighted wrist pose is to focus on pressing down into the base of the thumb and index finger. This helps to take the pressure off of your wrist. When you're starting out in yoga, it's easy to lift your thumb and index finger off of the matt which causes excess tension and body weight to be translated through your wrist.
Another important strategy to reduce wrist pain is to activate your core a little more so your body weight shifts away from your wrists. It's also important to not forget your legs. Activating your legs in any pose (even a handstand) will help you lift your weight out of your hands and spread it more throughout your body.
It can also be helpful to stretch your wrist muscles as well as opposing movement to help relieve any of the repetitive strain you may feel when practicing yoga.
If yoga students need to reduce or avoid weight bearing through their wrists then yoga instructors can adapt poses to help reduce wrist strain. This could include weight bearing through the forearms as opposed to the wrists (e.g.baby cobra instead of upward facing dog for instance) or using a closed fist (e.g. during chaturanga) to help maintain the wrist in neutral alignment.
Finally, it may be necessary to look at transitioning to a more gentle class style that has fewer wrist loading poses.
As physiotherapists, we focus on understanding the root of your pain and it's no different if you are experiencing pain in your wrists during yoga.
It is hard to say what could be causing your wrist pain since we have not physically examined your wrists or upper body. But assuming no specific injuries, there is one foundational concept we find helpful in those with wrist issues during yoga.
The concept we want to share is the importance of opposing muscles sharing an equal amount of tension and length. Let us explain.
You have muscles on the front of your forearm (that let you grip) and muscles on the back of the forearm (that let you extend your fingers). These muscles cross the wrist. When one group of muscles tightens more than the other, the unfortunate result can be increased strain through your wrist joint.
We do a lot of gripping in life (writing, holding things, opening doors, lifting weights, etc) so it's likely that your wrist flexors will become shortened in relation to your wrist extensors. This can strain your wrist and you may find yourself experiencing pain with yoga poses.
The solution: Start working on strengthening your wrist extensors. This Youtube video walks you through what this looks like. Low weights are ok (typically 1-3 pounds) and focus on working up to 3 sets of 15.
It goes without saying that getting assessed by a physiotherapist is important to understand what is going on. There are many other reasons for wrist dysfunction! Also you may experience numbness and tingling in your hand and fingers. This is something not to ignore and should be looked into.
Need to dig a little deeper? We'd recommend you give Innovation Physical Therapy a call to get an in-depth assessment of your movement challenges. They have 6 physiotherapy clinic locations throughout Edmonton & Sherwood Park including Riverbend, Meadowlark, Belvedere, Namao, Sherwood Park and West Henday (January 2018).

Simply, provide your Yogalife member number at time of booking. Call (587) 524-8200 to book an appointment.
Anyone who suffers from hayfever will be as qualified as possible to attest to having a healthy and robust immune system. If you've got a seasonal allergy to the pollen of plants and grass, you'll be well aware of your immune system going to work. Of course it's not pleasant as you sneeze heartily and repeatedly and your eyes water incessantly, but it's still good to know what your body is guarded against invaders and will dispatch histamines at a moment's notice when a transgressor is detected.
Rather a shame that those pollen particles are a false alarm, but the immune system's taking no chances!
For the rest of us, you're probably not going to be aware every time you've got neutrophils on the march taking on bacteria, viruses, and the like but they go into action pretty darn often. Having a healthy immune system is very important for every human, and there's natural ways you can improve the function of your immune system. Let's have a look at them.
While there are no scientifically proven direct links between lifestyle and enhanced immune function, there's plenty of evidence suggesting that making the following diet / lifestyle choices can help you have improved immunity, with the diet changes being particularly highly recommended by Sherri Danrin, a naturopathic doctor specializing in immunology and a regular contributor at YesWellness.
A very telling fact is that scientists have long determined that people who live in poverty and are malnourished as a result are more vulnerable to infectious diseases. This increased susceptibility is a result of micronutrient deficiencies, and in particular not getting enough zinc, selenium, iron, copper, folic acid, and vitamins A, C, B6, and Vitamin E. If you have reason to believe you're deficient in any of these vitamins (click here for an easy quick-reference chart for vitamin deficiency syndromes) you can address them via dietary sources or quality supplements.
Getting regular vigorous exercise – which means getting your heart rate up and breaking a sweat – is so beneficial for improving cardiovascular health, lowering blood pressure, controlling body weight AND supercharging your immune system to defend against viruses and disease. A large part of this is due to the fact that it promotes improved blood circulation, which allows cells and the different substance components of the immune system to move through the body freely and complete their job with maximum efficiency.
Important note; do not push yourself too hard when aiming to exercise vigorously. Know your limits of exertion, and if you need to take a break then take one. If you ever feel faint or can't handle the strain, stop immediately.
This point is added here immediately following exercise because one promotes the other, and they're both helpful ways to improve your immune system naturally. And yes, that's in large part because your circulation will be much improved when your hearts' not working nearly as hard to pump blood throughout your body as it was before you lost body weight.
The important thing to understand here is that there is a relationship between prolonged stress and high blood pressure (hypertension), which in turn limits your immune system's ability to product T-cells, which it uses to fight infections. Maintaining a low blood pressure will prevent your adrenal glands from being hyper stimulated and producing too much adrenaline and noradrenaline, which leads to a rather vicious cycle where the weakened immune system promotes more stress, which promotes more hypertension, which promotes further weakening of the immune system.
You get the idea, keeping your blood pressure at healthy levels and regulated is highly advisable here.
By getting sufficient AND quality sleep, we mean a) getting enough of it (most people need 7 hours a night) and b), making sure you go through all of the 4 stages of sleep. As regards the second point there, the importance of getting through all of these stages is important as the N3 (3rd) stage is where you get your deepest and most restorative sleep and cellular energy is provided to the different systems of the body, including the immune system.
In order to establish a good circadian rhythm and get the best and most thorough sleep, try to establish consistency with the time you go to bed and wake up each day. Sleeping in on the weekends or days off may be appealing, but it's best not to.
This one will likely be fairly self-explanatory for you. Drinking alcohol heavily damages your liver, and the liver works to filter contaminants out of the body. When that's not occurring effectively, the buildup of toxins and the like affects your immune system. And most of the many harmful chemical in cigarette smoke work similarly.
There's a thousand reasons why you shouldn't drink excessively or smoke, and this is just one more very valid one like all the other ones.
This involves being smart and wary of know ways that viruses and pathogens are commonly transmitted to people. Wash your hands frequently, cook meats thoroughly, etc. Being very cleanly will keep you in good stead and boasting a nice tip-top immune system.
Many products on store shelves state that they will boost or support immunity, but in reality there really are not 'quick fixes' for boosting your immune system via under-the-counter supplements. Further, boosting the number of cells in your body — immune cells or otherwise — isn't necessarily advisable. To put that in perspective, consider this; athletes who pump blood into their systems to boost their number of blood cells and enhance their performance run the risk of suffering a stroke. There's no concrete definition of how many cells or what mix of them allows the immune system to function at its best.
No one likes to have their weekend wasted by the flu, being laid up for a month by mono, or anything of the sort. Your immune system is the last line of defense against all of these misfortunes, so make sure you do all that you can to ensure yours is primed to combat at full force all the time.

Млада Германия () е литературно движение на млади, либерално настроени писатели в Германия през XIX век.

Окрилени от Юлската революция във Франция, представителите му активно публикуват свои творби след 1830 г., но по решение на тогавашния Германски Бундестаг произведенията им са забранени.

Името "Млада Германия" за първи път се споменава от Хайнрих Лаубе, но става популярно благодарение на Лудолф Вийнбарг, чийто "Естетически поход" през 1834 г. започва с програмните думи: "На тебе, млада Германия, посвещавам тези слова, не на старата".

Представители
В решението на Германския Бундестаг от 10 декември 1835 г. движението "Млада Германия" или "Млада литература" е наречено "книжовна школа", към която официално са причислени Хайнрих Хайне, Карл Гуцков, Хайнрих Лаубе, Лудолф Вийнбарг и Теодор Мунт. Но такава школа или група фактически не съществува. Назованите автори са свързани по-скоро само от своята либерална позиция. В бързината дори е забравено да се спомене името на Лудвиг Бьорне. Но по-късно литературната историография разглежда тези шестима автори като ядрото на това движение.

Към "Млада Германия" се числят още писатели като Георг Бюхнер, а към по-широкия кръг спадат Вилибалд Алексис, Адолф Гласбренер, Густав Кюне, Макс Валдау и Георг Хервег.

Самият Бюхнер се дистанцира от "Млада Германия" в писмо до семейството си, което пише на 1 януари 1836 г. от изгнанието си в Страсбург:

Въпреки това между Георг Бюхнер и писателите от "така наречената" "Млада Германия" съществуват редица общи черти, което се изразява в протеста им срещу политическата реставрация. Освен това Бюхнер – подобно на авторите от "Млада Германия" – се застъпва за литература, която не одобрява идеализма на Класиката (Шилер) и възгледите на Романтизма.

Обзор
Общото между поетите от "Млада Германия" е несъгласието им с реставраторската и реакционна политика на Метерних и князете от Германския съюз. Те защитават демократичните свободи, социалната справедливост и преодоляването на отживелите религиозни и морални представи. Отхвърлят идеализма на Класиката и Романтизма като аполитични и назадничави. И двете литературни направления са за тях прекалено чужди на действителния живот. За представителите на "Млада Германия" литературата не бива да е елитарна, а трябва да насочва вниманието към социалните и политически проблеми на времето. Те виждат себе си като наследници и продължители на Просвещението и стават литературни първопроходци на буржоазно-либералната Мартенска революция от 1848/49 г.

Светогледът на поетите от "Млада Германия" е повлиян от учението за саморазвитието на Хегел и утопичния социализъм на
Сен-Симон. По отношение на националната политика повечето от тях очакват да се постигне Единството на Германия под формата на република и така да се преодолее феодализмът.

За разлика от съвременници като Георг Бюхнер или по-късното поколение поети около Георг Хервег, Фердинанд Фрайлиграт, Хайнрих Хайне и Аугуст Хайнрих Хофман фон Фалерслебен поетите от "Млада Германия" не желаят политически преврат. Стремят се много повече към създаването на ново, либерално общество, в което никой авторитет да не бъде приеман безусловно. За тях политиката е само една област наред с други като морал, религия и естетика.

Q: Spring Webflux CSP not taking affect in React website Hey Stackoverflow geniuses. I have a problem that is causing me some trouble that I am hoping you can help me out with. I have defined a Content Security Policy in my server code which uses Spring Boot Webflux. The CSP is being sent up to the client and can be seen in the Response Headers. However, the CSP does not appear to be getting applied to the site. This is the configuration:
/* http is a ServerHttpSecurity object */
http.headers().contentSecurityPolicy("default-src 'self'; script-src 'self'; img-src 'self';" +
"media-src 'self'; object-src 'self'; connect-src 'self'; worker-src 'none'; form-action 'self';" +
"frame-src 'none'; child-src 'none'; style-src 'self'; frame-ancestors 'none';")
.and()
.frameOptions().mode(XFrameOptionsServerHttpHeadersWriter.Mode.DENY);

and this is what I see in my response headers:
ache-control: no-cache, no-store, max-age=0, must-revalidate
connection: close
Content-Encoding: gzip
content-security-policy: default-src 'self'; script-src 'self'; img-src 'self';media-src 'self'; object-src 'self'; connect-src 'self'; worker-src 'none'; form-action 'self';frame-src 'none'; child-src 'none'; style-src 'self'; frame-ancestors 'none';
content-type: application/json
Date: Mon, 30 Aug 2021 16:33:28 GMT
expires: 0
pragma: no-cache
referrer-policy: no-referrer
transfer-encoding: chunked
Vary: Accept-Encoding
x-content-type-options: nosniff
x-frame-options: DENY
X-Powered-By: Express
x-xss-protection: 1 ; mode=block

A couple of these setting when applied should block my site from being loaded in an i-frame but even with the header containing these values, an i-frame can still load it. Also, I am able to inject unsafe scripts and styles.
I am testing in the most recent version of Chrome. The fact that I see the CSP in my response headers but it doesn't block these security risks tells me I'm missing something. Is there a step I need to take to apply the CSP to the front end when it receives the response? Again, this is a React front end and a Java/Spring Boot back end. Just in case this matters, the front end and back end are separate projects.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to help me out here.

A: Firstly make sure that no plugins like Noscript, Disable Content-Security-Policy, etc. are installed in the browser.
There is no difference what software you use on the frontend and on the backend - the browser doesn't know anything about the backend, it just gets an HTML page with HTTP headers and renders it. If the browser has received a CSP HTTP header, it will apply it.
The CSP you show (line breaks added for readability):
default-src 'self';
script-src 'self';
img-src 'self';
media-src 'self';
object-src 'self';
connect-src 'self';
worker-src 'none';
form-action 'self';
frame-src 'none';
child-src none;
style-src 'self';
frame-ancestors 'none';

abundantly clear disallows embedding into iframe (by frame-ancestors 'none';), inline styles (by style-src 'self';) and inline scripts (by script-src 'self';). There is one syntax error: child-src none; the 'none' should be single-quoted, but this does not matter in this case.
To make sure of this, it is enough to create an HTML page with your CSP:

<meta http-equiv="content-security-policy" content="default-src 'self'; script-src 'self';
  img-src 'self'; media-src 'self'; object-src 'self'; connect-src 'self'; worker-src 'none';
  form-action 'self'; frame-src 'none'; child-src none; style-src 'self'; frame-ancestors 'none';">

is is red? Click me!

and open it in a browser with the console (Dev Tool) enabled. You will see the blocked inline styles and the script.
Meta tag works the exactly same way as HTTP header just frame-ancestors directive is not supported in meta tag.

As a part of our contribution to the EU-Russia Civil Society Forum, we co-organised "Europe Lab", Forum for Young Professionals, in Lithuania. Some 100 people from Russia, Eastern Europe and the EU participated in the event.
During these few days there were organised panel discussions with experts and politicians, along with workshops for participants. Nearly 20 people took part in our workshop, dedicated to cross-border cooperation, migration and visas.
The aim of the "Europe Lab" was networking of young professionals, interested in similar issues (like historic memory or cross-border cooperation) but working and living in different parts of our continent. Outcomes will consist of group project, presented at the EU-Russia CSF annual General Assembly in Budapest this December.
"Europe Lab" replaced "Pilorama Lab", organised in former concentration camp in Perm and discontinued following increasing repressions against Russian NGOs.

SIS Alumna Writes to Showcase Modern Challenges in U.S. Identity
By Karli Kloss | May 8, 2014

As a writer and playwright, Carla Seaquist, SIS/BA '67, strives to give space to the complicated political, cultural, and ethical-moral issues facing our country. She began her career in civil rights activism, helping to organize the women's caucus at the Brookings Institution from 1972 to 1976.
She then moved to San Diego where she served as the city's equal opportunity officer from 1977 to 1983, successfully moving women and minorities into nontraditional jobs. For this work she was awarded NOW's Susan B. Anthony award "for courage and hard work on behalf of women and minorities."
The shift from civil rights to writing was a logical progression, Seaquist says. She began working as a freelance writer until she moved on to playwriting.
During the siege of Sarajevo, Seaquist reached out to the manager of a Bosnian radio station. They built a unique relationship over the phone. She turned their conversations into a play, Who Cares?: The Washington-Sarajevo Talks, a universal drama about the saving power of human connection in chaos. This play has had three productions, including at Washington's Studio Theatre. Seaquist has written three other plays.
The shift from playwriting to more direct commentary happened on September 11, when she witnessed the Pentagon on fire. As a result, Seaquist became a contributing writer for The Christian Science Monitor and, now, The Huffington Post.
Seaquist published her first book of commentary, Manufacturing Hope: Post-9/11 Notes on Politics, Culture, Torture, and the American Character, in 2009. Her forthcoming book is titled Can America Save Itself from Decline?: Politics, Culture, Morality. She also published Two Plays of Life and Death.
"I have found the SIS take-away tool–the need to develop a conceptual framework–very useful," Seaquist states. "International relations made me a world citizen, providing me with an outlook that's global, not parochial, and a keen interest in history and other cultures–all very helpful in writing commentary."
Seaquist lives in Washington state with her husband Larry, a state legislator, and is working on a play titled Prodigal.


Remembering playing the good old Doom and Doom 2 back in the 90s? CodeImp have put together a nice tutorial on how to play Doom and Doom2 online using an app called Skulltag.
I can still remember playing Doom, which was actually my first first person 3d shooting game. It wasn't long after that Id came up with Quake and followed by Sierra's Half Life (and ConunterStrike!) that we start to experience just how great 3d shotting games really are. Man, thinking abou it, games had really come a long way to what it is today!


Dear friends, you may ask, why the name Earthpaste? It's a simple answer, really.
All the ingredients in Earthpaste are from the earth. Earthpaste won't be what you are used to because it is completely natural with very few ingredients. Redmond doesn't add titanium dioxide to make it white, nor do they add any foaming agents. Earthpaste is natural in colours - it's how toothpaste should be.
Remond keeps it real! As a company they have looked for a great toothpaste but they never found one - so they made their own.
Redmond uses real salt, and hydrated Redmond Clay and have added Xylitol and essential oils. That's it. Nothing more. Redmond hopes you enjoy their Earthpaste as much as they do! Earthpaste is safe to eat. Rinse or swallow at your discretion - either would be fine. Wet brush before applying. For best, stand tube update.
Ingredients: Purified water, food grade redmond clay, xylitol, wintergreen essential oil, menthol, redmond real salt, tea tree oil.

The race is on. At Mobile World Congress, Sprint, T Mobile, Verizon and AT&T all made announcements about their commitment and focus on rolling out 5G. This is going to be exciting. Over the coming years, we're about to see an explosion in wireless bandwidth, and new capabilities atop it.
We're talking about a quantum leap in wireless throughput and performance. Amid the Mobile World Congress frenzy, Qualcomm disclosed a simulation in San Francisco where median browsing speeds approached 1.4 Gbps, capable of 8K, 120 frame-per-second video streaming. That's crazy fast, and it portends new fixed wireless and mobility applications.
Wireless speeds at these levels unlock new possibilities. Sure, increased bandwidth will eventually enable evolution of the buzzwordy stuff like autonomous vehicles, drones and augmented reality (AR) interfaces. That's coming, but much of it is predicated on development of things like edge computing and new wireless architectures.
More pragmatically, the new throughput levels will feed higher quality video consumption and new video applications. In fact, Ericsson estimates traffic levels will grow 8x by 2022, driven heavily by expansion of video.
New capacity levels will also expose other possibilities such as: New, dynamic energy applications and the balancing of modern grids. New services for traffic management, city operations, disabled-citizen support and safety from diverse real-time feeds and sensors. New enterprise and industrial productivity applications.
When instruments and sensors all become seamlessly connected at very high capacity, and with very low latency, we expose a new palette of colors for our developers, entrepreneurs and cities.
Operational efficiency and innovation will be driven by the coming wireless networks. That understanding underscores the importance for property owners to deploy high-speed wireless to avoid living in data deserts. That's true across both cities and enterprise. These entities' prospects and competitiveness will ultimately be correlated to networking of their environs and working areas.
The balance is shifting in conversations between property owners and wireless network operators. Historically, cities, businesses and neutral hosts have extracted sizable rents from carriers to situate equipment on properties. In many cases, those rents are well over $1000 per month.
With the proliferation of small cells - which are highly distributed radios that enhance network capacity - and 5G, economics at those levels aren't scalable. More importantly perhaps, the need and expectation of property owners (and their tenants) for connectivity is outpacing the value of the rents they can reasonably extract.
Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) systems will give way to cheaper, more performance-based small cell architectures. With costs declining, businesses and employees are starting to look at in-building wireless connectivity as a necessary amenity, spending to enable indoor small cell architectures for tenants.
The trend doesn't stop at the front door of the office. The entire fabric of the city is in play. We're seeing cities in aggressive conversations to significantly reduce the cost and complexity of deploying wireless infrastructure. These cities include Little Rock, Minneapolis and Indianapolis. Sure, the carriers have a dog in that fight, but so do the constituents. Those living in data deserts will endure economic strain, or at least forego many benefits of the modern world.
New norms, considerations and operating models will emerge. We'll see greater pushes around virtualization, open architectures and resilience as trades for wireless ubiquity allowances.
The emerging buzz around edge computing is part of that. An entirely new industry will evolve around solution providers who expose edge compute architectures (and development platforms) in enterprise and municipal networks. Companies like Vapor.io and EdgeMicro are ahead of the game there. Amazon and Azure are on the path, but they have not yet architected highly-localized extensions to their platform that are broadly exposed to the development community.
At the same time, we're witnessing a drive toward network virtualization, which will have large scale consequences and shift competitive maps. Marc Andreessen likes to say that software is eating the world, and VRAN (virtual radio access networking) is a great example of that. One can imagine highly localized servers (edge compute) running in street lights or traffic lights that provide prioritized network orchestration for carrier radios in the vicinity.
As things like Augmented Reality (AR) and autonomous vehicles drive the need for lower latency transactions that must operate across network providers, we may see architectures where that same described server, provides VRAN services across operators and exposes local compute for latency-sensitive applications.
That's where things get really interesting. Entirely new, tiered architectures. The city becomes the data center.
There's a lot there, and notably, I've ignored security as a topic up to this point. To continue the conversation without addressing security would be a mistake. It should be addressed from the earliest point in the conversation.
The network operators and their partners have massive opportunity on this front. They can offer a myriad of security services (such as secured virtual networks, data management services, traffic monitoring and intrusion detection) to cities and business that will be hungry for those services. Network security services will be an expansive market.
Indeed, software is eating the world, and the coming evolution of 5G wireless feeds that beast.
To the cities and businesses out there contemplating strategy: Engage in active conversation now about your wireless networking strategy. It'll be a determinant of your future prospects. Choose wisely but don't take too much time pondering the decision.
