Working Hand-in-Hand With HUD-VASH
The week of Veterans Day, Veterans Matter housed its 850th veteran. Including spouses and children, we've now housed 1,321 people, 25 percent of whom are children!
With donations still coming in from the 80+ 11/11@7 Exchange Club rallies held across the nation on Veterans Day and from the generosity of our Giving Tuesday donors, we'll soon be housing many more. We are so proud and thankful to celebrate each milestone, but of course there is still much work to be done.
However, we couldn't do what we do without the compassion and tireless leg work of VA case managers across the country. HUD-VASH social workers do the bulk of the heavy lifting when it comes to locating homeless veterans and following up with them after they are housed.
Veterans Matter has a 100 percent success rate in housing homeless veterans into a HUD-VASH long-term supportive housing program, which has a 91 percent success rate in keeping them housed.
Every formerly unhoused veteran has a story. Here are just three.
Mickiela's story
What's it REALLY like to lose everything and live on the streets?: Hear George's and Ann's stories
Powerful stuff.
By the time Veterans Matter receives a request from a HUD-VASH social worker, he or she has already screened the veteran for legitimate homelessness, confirmed his or her military service, determined his or her capability to be housed in the sustained HUD-VASH housing, found a home and negotiated a contract with the landlord. The veteran is now ready, willing, and able to sign the lease if they have the deposit.
That's where we come in. The moment a veteran is ready to sign the lease, the HUD-VASH social worker can log into our cloud-based referral system from any device anywhere and complete our simple referral form requesting the deposit and veteran's share of the first month's rent. Usually within minutes we can approve the request and immediately email the social worker and landlord the notice of approval and our commitment to send the check the same day.
Because we are backed by John Mellencamp, Dusty Hill, ZZ Top, Katy Perry, Kix Brooks and others in the music industry, the landlords often allow our email notification to act as the deposit and allow the veteran into their new home immediately.
Our only interest and only priority is helping get veterans off the streets TODAY. We must take care of our own.

Should we sack Steve Walsh?

Re: Should we sack Steve Walsh?
How the fuck anyone on here can answer this I don't know.
Walsh didn't make the decisions at Chelsea. Allardyce made them at Newcastle. At Hull, Pearson was the one deciding. At Leicester it was Pearson and then Ranieri.
Our recruitment structure is so opaque that assessing anything like that is difficult. He's getting a lot of stick for not bringing in a target man to replace Lukaku, but he tried to bring in one in January and one of the reasons Belfodil didn't come through was because Koeman wouldn't sign off on it without meeting the player.
Honestly, who is in a position to know?

This is my point too.
Not getting a centre forward is obviously a major failing, but there are just too many plausible explanations.
Why didn't we bring one in?
Could we not convince players to join? Did our valuation not meet the selling club/player's wage demands? Our search seemed to focus on target men, was Koeman unwilling to compromise on that? Did Walsh suggest a number of players but couldn't convince Koeman of their worth? Did we ultimately decide that a strike force of Rooney, Sandro, Calvert-Lewin (and Niasse?) was enough to see us okay? Did we decide that developing Calvert-Lewin was a better option than signing the target man 8th down our list? Could we not afford one? Did we dwell too long on our number one choice when it might have been more prudent to wrap up a young potential target man early on as a back up just in case?
We can probably answer a couple of those from interviews and journalist mutterings, but most of them haven't been addressed at all.

The fact they both joined the club at the same time led to the strange dynamic.
I think there are probably parallels to when Ferguson and Gill both left Man Utd at the same time too.
In hindsight, having both a new manager and a Director of Football, both with little experience of conducting transfers, was a disaster waiting to happen. As @Rhys suggested the other day, with a more experienced DoF the dynamic might have been a lot more successful.
Empathetic to the idea that Koeman was knocking back some of Walsh's suggestions.
A first recommendation of Allardyce is probably grounds for sacking alone though.

Quote from: Ross on November 25, 2017, 05:41:57 PM
We don't know who or what Walsh was responsible for though. Seemingly almost everyone loves Vlasic and Sandro and rates them, do you think Koeman knew about them and requested them? Or even that lad we've parked in Belgium? Same with Lookman as well.
We do know Koeman wanted Rooney and Sigurdsson (and most likely Klaassen given his connections) as he was very vocal about it, previously Schneiderlin and Bolasie, players Walsh or anybody in his position wouldn't have to scout. We also know Koeman wanted more "productivity" from the team, ie Goalscores and to be less reliant on a forward, hence the recruitment of multiple players who perform the same attacking role, and we know Koeman wanted Giroud and only Giroud (no point in options 2,3 or 4 etc etc).
Walsh could be a goldmine of knowledge given the freedom to operate properly, only time will tell, but he's clearly been handicapped by Koemans influence over Moshiri in the past and the squad imbalance isnt down to him.
The whole Walsh witchhunt is odd given nobody actually knows his role, responsibilities or remit are.
All that could be true, but his first suggestion for the most important job at the club was his old mate Sam Allardyce.
Well for a start that's only a rumour. But if it's true maybe he was asked who he thought could come in now right away and steady the ship until the end of the season, and he'd probably be right wouldnt he.
Well it's not only a rumour is it? Allardyce has said himself that Everton didn't show the commitment he would like. There's fairly substantive reports that Moshiri met with Allardyce which hasn't been refuted in the slightest.
We don't shy away from offering managers over £100k p/w and we're one of the few clubs willing to pay hefty compensation for them. I like Allardyce. I'm one of the bigger fans of him. Having Allardyce as your first port of call though is nothing short of negligent.
Quote from: brap2 on February 08, 2018, 02:10:55 PM
Thank you, but sponsorship & advertising =/= commercial performance. And that was the year we signed our new shirt sponsors and introduced a sleeve sponsor, so you would expect a big jump in spon. Would be interested to see other clubs % growth for each new sponsor.
For commercial to have grown 66% last year would represent a stunning turnaround, as since 2013 commercial has grown by just £8m (as of 2016 accounts), and by those accounts profit from commercial had dropped between 15-16.
In fact, if you look at our EBITDA for that account period, the only clubs worse than Everton at proftiable revenue generation are Swansea, Sunderland, Stoke, and Villa.
Relative measures like the 66% aren't very helpful really because they lack context. How did that £8m increase compare to the clubs above us or to clubs like Leicester, West Ham and Southampton?
If a £1 bet returned you £1.66 that's a 66% increase too, but it's also nothing to write home about.
Quote from: Ridge on February 08, 2018, 08:23:53 PM
If you have commercial activities overall, then you end up saying about how West Ham have new stadium, Leicester have recent success, they are not comparable situations. 66% was just to highlight stagnant is not an accurate summary. Feel free to pick the bones out of the new deals.
On shirt sponsor, Leicester are getting around £4m a year because it's the owner's brand and old deal. West Ham £8m, Southampton about £6m. But would expect similar or better results from commercial operations at stadiums due to locations and facilities.
In the main, I don't really think you're wrong about Elstone's performance. I do think having figures for those "less fashionable" clubs though is important. For all of their advantages, we'll have some of our own, so it will average out somewhat. (Also, the use of relative figures is just a big bug bear of mine. )
So, if we're comparable with Leicester, West Ham, Southampton and West Ham, you won't really get all that much argument from me at this stage.
There definitely are areas related to him I'd pull up though. He's been CEO (or deputy CEO) during two failed stadium moves. He presided over the new badge fiasco.
There may also be an argument that he's a little short termist in his deals. As you said earlier, well only improve revenues when we sign new contracts. So given that, 5 years for SportPesa and 10 years for Kitbag feel like they could bring in a little more money now but with less relative to our potential down the backend. (There have certainly been suggestions that this sort of thing has hindered Arsenal.)
I don't really think he's the figure of failure he's painted though, no.
Yeah been wrestling with it myself. Don't rate Walsh at all, but if Henry and Lookman develop how I think they should - he's potentially got 4-6 hits on his CV.
I don't think the two views are necessarily inconsistent with each other though.
Of the players you and @Mick 1995 have mentioned, Sigurdsson, Onyekuru and Lookman all look to be talented players. In isolation, they're all decent signings. But they've also all spent large parts of their career playing down the left as attacking players. (You could possibly throw Bolasie and Sandro into the mix there too.)
Or the whole 'three number 10s' (plus Davies and Vlasic...) thing.
Building a balanced squad is a huge part of the DoF role. It's inevitable that some players will be viewed as donkeys if they've got that much competition, there's just no way they'll get the minutes to prove otherwise.
Quote from: Bluedylan on March 05, 2018, 04:47:29 AM
Can we change the thread title and remove the conditional element? 'When should we sack Steve Walsh?' seems more appropriate.
Or maybe 'please God, will someone fucking sack Steve Walsh now' for something more direct.
If we're going to sack him, it should be now.
If we're still debating it, we risk ruining our summer's deals.
I'd like to think Moshiri appreciates the importance of the timing - particularly after Walsh's initial appointment - but I'm not certain he does.

A mother who killed her two daughters in a frenzied knife attack to 'wreak havoc' on her ex-husband's happy life has been jailed today for a minimum of 31 years.
Rekha Kumari-Baker, 41, stabbed Davina, 16, and Jasmine, 13, a total of 69 times with kitchen knives she had purchased two days earlier.
Indian-born Kumari-Baker remained emotionless at Cambridge Crown Court as she was given an automatic life sentence and told she should not be eligible for parole until 2040, when she will be 72.
This is 33 years in total but takes into account the two years and 92 days she has spent on remand.
During her trial a court heard how she had become jealous of her former husband, David Baker, 44, a successful businessman who had found love with a new partner since their 2003 divorce.
Kumari-Baker, on the other hand, had just been ditched by her long-term lover, Jeff Powell, and had quit her waitressing job.
She had admitted manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility due to an 'abnormality of the mind' and evidence was heard about how she had complained of suffering from depression.
But a jury took just 35 minutes to reach unanimous verdicts in two counts of murder.
'Most people will find it inexplicable that a mother could kill her own children, and you have given no explanation for it,' Mr Justice Bean told her.
'You were certainly upset at the breakdown of your relationship with Jeff Powell. I think this mild depression was probably combined with a wish to retaliate against David Baker and destroy the happiness in his life.
The sisters were butchered in the small hours of June 13, 2007, as they slept in their rooms in Kumari-Baker's house in Stretham, Cambridgeshire.
Davina, who was often at loggerheads with her mother, was living with her father at the time but had been lured to the house by the offer of a shopping spree.
In a victim impact statement read out in court, the girls' heartbroken father, who was too upset to attend the hearing, said since the killings he struggled to sleep, had lost his job, and been forced to move away from Cambridgeshire.
'To have them taken from me in such a brutal way and by the woman who was their mother and charged with their care has had an incalculable effect on me,' he said.
'I suffer from strong feelings of guilt that I didn't see it coming and helplessness that I have not been able to do anything about it.
'I remain haunted by the horror of that night and probably will remain so for a very long time.
'Rekha Kumari-Baker always believed her children were an extension of herself, existing to further her own life ambitions.
Speaking outside court after Monday's verdict, Detective Inspector Jim McCrorieof Cambridgeshire Police said the case was the worst he had seen in 25 years of service.
A serious case review was launched by Cambridgeshire Local Safeguarding Children Board after the killings to investigate whether the social services, teachers, doctors and police could have done anything to prevent the double tragedy.
Staff at the school had told police Kumari-Baker was 'volatile, excitable, erratic and could become aggressive'.
And social services began monitoring the family after she complained of suffering from depression and was referred to a counsellor by a GP.
The reports conclusions have been postponed to take into account the court's findings.

Jeffrey Epstein's estate agrees to pay US Virgin Islands $105 million
Jeffrey Epstein's estate has agreed to pay the US Virgin Islands more than $105m (£86.8m) as part of a settlement in a child sex trafficking and exploitation case.
As part of the deal, the estate will also pay US territory half of the proceeds from the sale of Little St James, the private island Epstein bought in 1998 and allegedly used for many of his sex crimes.
It will pay another $450,000 (£372,000) to deal with damages on a separate island owned by the disgraced financier – with NBC quoting the US Justice Department as saying it has "razed the remains of structures history of enslaved workers to make room for its development" there.
The settlement — which does not include any admissions of wrongdoing — includes the return of more than $80 million ($66 million) in economic development tax benefits that Epstein and others had "fraudulently obtained to fuel his criminal enterprise."
Virgin Islands Attorney General Denise George said in a press release, "This agreement restores the faith of the people of the Virgin Islands that their laws will be enforced, without fear or favor, against those who violate them.
"We are sending a clear message that the Virgin Islands will not serve as a haven for human trafficking."
In a statement reported by NBC, Epstein's real estate attorney Daniel Weiner said, "The co-executors ultimately concluded that the settlement is in the best interests of the estate, including its creditors and plaintiffs, to avoid the weather, the expense and inherent uncertainties of protracted litigation.
"The settlement is consistent with the stated intent and practice of the co-executors since their appointment to those roles: to resolve grievances relating to any misconduct by Jeffrey Epstein in a sensitive manner to those who have suffered harm ".
Ghislaine Maxwell Sued By Law Firm Saying She Owed More Than $878,000
Settlement between Prince Andrew and Virginia Giuffre: what do we know and what happens next?
Mr Weiner also said the estate intends to "wind up its remaining businesses" in the islands "as soon as practicable" and that $121m (£100m) has been paid in compensation to 136 people for Epstein's activities.
The Virgin Islands filed a civil lawsuit against the Epstein estate in 2020, alleging it was behind a criminal enterprise through which young women and girls were trafficked, raped, sexually assaulted and held captive at Little St James.
Epstein was 66 when he committed suicide in a Manhattan prison in 2019a month after his arrest on sex trafficking charges.
This came more than a decade after his conviction for soliciting prostitution by a minor, for which he became a registered sex offender.
Last year, his former partner Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted of recruiting teenage girls to sexually abuse them between 1994 and 2004.
She was sentenced to 20 years in prison.

Silver Spring has had a few detours in its development as a thriving DC suburb, but today it has come into its own. With its large number of residents, dynamic mix of global cultures and ethnic eateries, and a sophisticated arts and entertainment district, this neighborhood has become a gold standard for affordable suburban living with urban amenities.
Convenient neighborhood living with a downtown destination.
Manageable city living with quiet residential retreats.
Much of Silver Spring still feels like what it was first intended to be, a convenient suburb away from urban noise and hassle.
Exploring new arts and culture and making new friends.
The affordable prices and mix of modest houses and apartments make Silver Spring an accessible and diverse place to call home. Residents tend to be socially conscious and get involved in local issues and community initiatives. From the AFI Theatre to Roundhouse and the Fillmore, there are also fantastic arts options that would be right at home in the District.
Small business in a walkable downtown.
Despite being a suburb, there are no big box stores nearby, leaving you to run your errands at small, locally-owned businesses. Though street parking is challenging, there are several large parking garages, and many residents just walk to their destinations. Whether you have a car or would rather rely on public transportation, you're in close proximity to everything you might need.
A range of homes from affordable to expensive and ample downtown condominium options.
There is a wide selection of single-family homes, from colonials to bungalows, right outside downtown and further north toward the Beltway. Major new condo projects combined with retail and luxury amenities have added new flair to the older apartment stock.
The options for nature and nurture.
Neighbors know neighbors here, and a general friendliness and casual vibe permeate the town. There is still a surprising number of outdoor parks and wooded trails to get away from it all and appreciate natural beauty. But when you want to be part of society and close to amenities, you can easily mix with your entire community in Silver Spring's walkable and vibrant public square.

I spent three months this summer interning for Brooklyn based designer Tara St. James. Since it was such a short period of time to keep four interns (two of which flew in from overseas) busy and interested, she came up with Study Hall. She gave us the opportunity to design mini collections to be produced and sold under her label, Study. Working closely with Tara we learned how things work behind the scenes. She gave us access to her resources including everything sustainable and organic like textiles manufacturers, buttons, trims, hangtags, and dead stock items. Tara also introduced us to her contacts in the industry from her sample maker, photographers, retailers, wholesalers to her favorite makeup artist who even uses organic beauty products. It was a great exercise in learning the NYC garment trade as well as facing the inevitable problem of coping with tradeoffs in design and production.
For my collection, "Emily Amorello for Study" I further developed designs that were inspired by the Gulf lifestyle and infused them with an urban NYC twist. The collection consists of one look in two color ways. I worked with Brooklyn based knitwear designer Lauren Jones of My Dear Thing to develop the origami blouse into a sweater made from silk tape yarn. I was also encouraged to think outside the box so I decided to design my own pattern to be printed on silk twill and silk jersey. In addition to my custom print and yarn, I employed a PET/ Hemp twill, a soy/organic cotton and a tencel/organic cotton blend. As I am committed to working responsibly and ethically Study Hall was an equally awesome and difficult experience that has brought me one giant step closer to my career and design goals.
If working in sustainable/ethical/eco design is important to you too I encourage other students to find one of the many designers forging ahead in this industry and offer to intern for them as they are erecting a platform for us to build on in the future. I have since returned to Dubai for the Fall semester and so I can also highly recommend FSH 699 Sustainability for Fashion Design.
What is your favorite thing about NYC? As a designer, my favorite thing about NYC would have to be access to so many resources! Here in Dubai I have to be very careful how I design as everything is imported and manufacturing is limited to working with local tailors. It was also amazing to live with my brothers in the East Village and catch up with friends and family. Living an expat life means only seeing your family every 24-36 months so every moment counts so I had to strike a balance between work and family.
How is NYC different from Dubai? I can't even begin to count the differences but this trip back I learned what it is to hustle in NYC. Between the heat and urban planning, there is very little walking done in Dubai. However, in New York the fastest way anywhere is on foot or bike, both of which were my daily commute around lower Manhattan after which I'd hop a train. You have to be savvy and fit to make it all happen in NYC.
Tell us about something funny or silly that happened to you this week: An air hostess called me "sir" to get my attention away from the window. She quickly, replaced it with "madam". First time in over of year of rocking super short hair that was mistaken for a dude — at least that I know of.
What is your dream job? To design for an ethically minded, sustainable fashion house, preferably my own.
What is the most embarrassing item in your closet? Anything with the price tag still on. oops!
What is your must have item? Thai fisherman pants.
Where have you found inspiration lately? Nature.
What is your most valued possession? My family — pups included.
List a person (dead or alive) whom you would like to have coffee with: That's a toss up between my grandparents and Bob Marley.

Me Before You Summary and Analysis of Chapter 13-14
We start at the track where Patrick is training. Lou has visited him and invites him to her birthday dinner, which will be at home with her family. Lou chooses this celebration over a night out, in spite of Patrick's protests, partly to cheer her mom up. Treena and Thomas have just moved out so that Treena can go back to college, and Lou's mom is having trouble adjusting. Lou hasn't been home much, though. When she's not at work she goes to the library and uses the computers there. She explains how this habit began. After going to the orchestra, she'd wanted to write a thank-you note with Will, to thank his musician friend for getting them tickets. Will's dismay at the prospect of having to dictate a letter sent Lou on a search for products and technologies that might let Will write on his own. He actually embraces the voice-recognition software she suggests, and writes her a short, funny note of thanks with it. Lou is feeling motivated generally. She moves into Treena's old room and redecorates it completely, which makes her dad observe that "This job has been the making of (her)." At work, she and Will have developed a routine of driving to secluded places around town. During one of these trips, Lou invites Will to her birthday dinner, partly because Patrick wants to meet Will. On the night of the dinner, Nathan drops Will off at Lou's house. Lou's parents are nervous about having Will over. Her dad meticulously designs a ramp to get him inside, and panics when he realizes they can't shake hands. But in the end, Will charms everybody at the dinner. Even Lou's mom seems distracted from how much she misses Treena and Thomas. Will has also brought along a bottle of champagne. Patrick tries awkwardly to open the bottle, and Will can't resist correcting his technique, which makes Patrick defensive. In fact, Patrick seems to be the only person at the dinner who doesn't love the new guest. He certainly reacts strangely when he sees his girlfriend feeding Will, though it's such a normal part of her routine that she hardly thinks about it. Things get more awkward when Patrick insists on talking about his personal-trainer career and his ideas for how to cure Will's disability, in spite of Lou's attempts to make him stop. Will responds graciously and answers Lou's dad's questions about his former career, which reveals to Lou just how big of a deal he used to be in his professional life.
Then the presents come out. Lou's parents, who are pressed for money, have made her a lovely scrapbook of her life so far. She's moved by the gift, but saddened by her parents' financial insecurity. Patrick has gotten her a beautiful necklace, though it doesn't suit her very well, since she never wears jewelry. Will, meanwhile, remembered Lou's story about her yellow-and-black striped tights, and has had two pairs made for her using his new voice-recognition software. Lou is delighted and puts the tights on right away. Will has also included a card, which he tells her to open later. Everything is perfect except for the strange competitiveness between Patrick and Will, which peaks when Will makes a comment, just before heading out, about Lou giving him bed baths.
Patrick confronts Lou about the comment later, and is visibly upset. He frames his dismay as concern about Lou's job requirements. After all, she wasn't supposed to have any medical responsibilities. He even suggests that she sue the Traynors. Louisa finds this absurd, since tasks like bathing Will and changing his catheter are by now routine to her. She finds his personality far more interesting than his body. Lou accuses Patrick of being jealous of Will, which seems accurate. When they finally have sex that night, after many days of Patrick acting uninterested, he seems strangely competitive, as if he wants to show off his strength. Lou suspects it's all "for Will's benefit." After, unable to sleep, Lou opens Will's card. It includes a lot of money—five hundred pounds in cash. The short, no-nonsense note tells her it's a "birthday bonus."
We soon come down from this high note. May arrives and brings with it a wave of stories related to assisted suicide and Dignitas, including one about a former athlete whose parents allowed him to commit assisted suicide. Lou reads about his story at the library, and though various articles denigrate the athlete's parents, others describe how much he wanted to die after his injury and how desperate his parents felt. Will doesn't talk about these cases, but Lou catches him reading about them. This worries her, especially because her plan to get Will out and about hasn't gone very far. A few important things happen in quick succession. Back at home, Lou's dad has lost his job. He has trouble finding a new one because of his age, which puts Lou's parents in a pretty tough financial situation. Lou tries to help by leaving Will's birthday bonus in the kitchen, but her parents return it to her wordlessly. In the meantime, Lou spots Mr. Traynor in town with his arm around a strange woman. Next, Will gets an invitation to Alicia and Rupert's wedding. He acts as if he doesn't care, but Lou suspects he does, and puts the invitation in a folder where he won't have to see it. Instead, Will insists on talking to Lou about books. He is particularly interested in a book called The Red Queen which is about genetics. Lou dislikes the book and worries about Will's interest in it, since it talks a lot about women's natural preferences for genetically superior men. Lou feels that this might be Will's way of confirming his belief in his own physical inferiority.
Lou's narration skips rapidly between her work and home lives for several pages. First, Treena comes home for the weekend, and seems happy and a bit unfamiliar to Lou. They talk about Lou's progress with Will, and Lou's mom is thrilled to see her younger daughter, though she doesn't let on just how much financial trouble the family is in. Thomas wakes Lou a few times that night with his crying, and he ends up sleeping in her bed. Back at work, Lou and Will talk and eat lunch on the castle grounds. Will tells Lou about his favorite travel destinations, and says that he wishes above all he could go back to Paris. Getting a bit carried away, Lou suggests that the two of them actually go, but Will shoots her down. He doesn't want to go back to any favorite destinations in his wheelchair. That might blunt the treasured memories of his time there back in the good old days, when he could get around independently. Will bugs Lou a bit about doing the castle maze, but backs down when she refuses without explanation.
That night, Lou finds her parents sleeping on the floor. They admit reluctantly that they have to sleep there so that Treena and Thomas can have their room, since the small bedroom isn't big enough for them. They don't want to take Lou's bedroom, since she's the only person in the family bringing in money. Shortly after, back at Granta House, Lou and Mrs. Traynor have a clandestine conversation. Mrs. Traynor wants to hear about whether Lou has made any progress in convincing her son to live. She seems skeptical but also as if she has no choice but to trust Lou, especially after confessing that she and Will have always had a distant and conflict-ridden relationship. The chapter ends with Lou revisiting the case of Leo McInerney, the athlete who died using Dignitas. As sad as his case is, his parents seem to be relieved, telling reporters that he looked like himself again afterwards.
Just as Will's moods swing unpredictably between good and bad, the mood of the novel itself tends to swing, with highs and lows following each other rapidly. This reflects the situation that Will finds himself in. Like him, we, as readers, don't have much control over the narrative, and must simply accept the abrupt shifts it entails. The sudden mood shifts also keep us on our feet and keep us interested in the story. Every time things seem either totally perfect or completely hopeless, it all starts to turn around. So the liveliness of Lou's birthday party is offset by her fight with Patrick, and the worsening of her family's finances contrasts with the profundity of Will and Lou's conversations.
One of the major functions of this part of the novel is that it starts to blur the neat lines between Lou's life at work, with Will, and her life at home. When she first took a job as Will's caregiver, all we saw were the contrasts between these two parts of her life. Granta House felt quiet, uncomfortable, hostile, and wealthy, while her home felt familiar, noisy, loving, and impoverished. Suddenly, they're no longer so separate. That's in part because she's grown so comfortable around Will and no longer dreads going to work, but it's also true on a more literal level. She brings Will out into the town, and together they have started to share places like the castle grounds. And, now, she's introducing him to the other important people in her life—her family and her boyfriend.
This comes with positives and negatives. Will gets along so well with Lou's parents that all of his troubles, and all of the differences between him and Lou, seem to be minimized. At the same time, Patrick's negative reaction reminds us that this isn't going to be a fairytale. For one thing, Lou has a jealous boyfriend. More broadly, Patrick's response to Will is emblematic of a broader attitude towards Will's disability. He sees Will as a threat, but also believes that he can and should be cured, even though Will knows that a cure isn't possible. Though Patrick has a more personal reason to dislike Will, he's not the only person who acts simultaneously pitying and fearful. The moment in which Lou feeds Will, prompting stares from Patrick, perfectly sums up the complexity of the situation. Lou is, from one point of view, simply doing her job, and it's not exactly Will's fault he needs help eating. Yet Patrick's not entirely wrong to be suspicious, since Lou and Will's relationship is clearly more complex than a typical client/caregiver one. In other words, things have gotten very complicated.
Just as Will goes out into the world in this chapter, meeting people and exploring the town with Lou, the world starts to creep in on the safety of his and Lou's cloistered relationship. Moyes is more or less reminding readers that, for all the joys of their time together in private, our main characters can't stay inside the annex forever. With the rush of news stories about assisted suicide, we start to see more directly how Will's problems are linked to a bigger-picture set of ethical, medical, and political issues. These stories also serve as parallels to Will's showing what the stakes of his suicide might be for the living. Leo McInerney's trajectory is fairly similar to Will's, and his parents face not only grief but negative press and legal consequences after letting him go to Dignitas. Lou has been completely focused on changing Will's mind, and remains so, but these stories offer a glimpse at how she might feel, and how the Traynors' lives might be affected, if Will follows through with his plan.

It's true that everyone has to start somewhere, but in a creative field like music and sound engineering, it's easy to get lost in the abundance of possible routes that can be taken to get the same result. And, with the amount of resources that are available at your disposal, picking the right step is important to achieve the desired result. Everyone learns from their mistakes and gradually and eventually, once you get hold of the topic, there's nothing stopping you!
In this case, we'll talk about Mixdowns. Having a nice and clear mix is essential in today's industry and while everyone can't get pro at this art quickly, there are some steps that you can take in the beginning to avoid taking on any bad mixing habits that might hurt you. And, because there is no right way, you can always come up with steps that works best for you.
These are the 3 things you should avoid at all costs when you're starting out to give your mixdown a better shape.
This is hands down one of the biggest mistakes you'll make when starting out, i.e using way too much of the same thing without knowing how actually the sound is being affected.
Overprocessing can be anything really, too much compression, saturation, reverb or any time-based effect etc. and as they say, too much of anything is a bad thing.
For example, It's easy to go all out with OTT just because it makes your stuff sound "phat," but in the long run and when the track is played as a whole, it might not sound good due to excessive feedback from the OTT. So, the best bet is to A/B, how the element is being affected once you add anything to it and how does it react with rest of the track. You do have to get a bit critical of your choices, but hey, it's only gonna help you out.
When you watch a tutorial on YouTube, it's understandable that you end up doing the same thing that Youtuber was doing, but keep in mind that he/she did what was required by that sound. So, the best thing is definitely pick up any knowledge that you can and fully listen to what those guys are saying and once you're through with that try experimenting with different sounds and different effects and over time you'll get a hold of what has to go where.
Training your ear is super important too. You can line up effects on effects that are doing nothing but making that element sound muddy and dull just because that YouTuber was doing so, or you can add moderate amount of effects and turn that sound into a monster. You definitely can add a line of effects but just make sure they work together and are placed correctly, otherwise you're destroying more than you're treating!
One of the best ways to get your tracks loud like the pros is by having each element having a space of its own and nothing competing with each other. You must have heard big producers say that you should "learn to mix in mono" and this actually is a pretty neat advice. So basically, if you can get your mix sounding nice and clean in mono and you can make sure that there is no phase cancellation going on, you can then start putting elements in the right place and basically sculpt the stereo image of the track. For example, Kick, Snare and Vocals should be in mono, different cymbals can be panned to left and right, synths and mid basses can be given some stereo widening using stereo expansion tools like Dimension Expander by Xfer Records, Ozone's Multiband Imager or the new stand-alone imager etc.
The more you practice, the more you will get good at it. Do remember, to compete with others you have to be at your level best. It will take time but you'll certainly get there. We hope you learned something new from this and it helps you out!
Strong mono signal is super important to make sure you're track translates well!
Small things can have a big overall effect on the output!


A little bit late this month but there is still a lot of June competitions and opportunities to enter for, with many deadlines coming up at the end of the month. Here are our pick of five of the best which are open to all types of photographer/artist and offering prizes ranging from photo kit to exhibition opportunity, holidays and hard cash. The Luxembourg Prize and The ipa International Photography Award do have an entry fee but when you have a look at the prizes and scale of the competitions they are worth it.
This annual competition is open to international photographers whether they are professional, amateur or even student. The focus is on finding new and existing talent and excellence in the medium and the shortlisted photographers will be invited to a ceremony at Carnegie Hall in New York to compete for the grand prize of $10,000 and the Lucie statue (which, if you don't know, is a bit like a mini photo Oscar). There are several other significant cash prizes and also numerous categories you can enter in including photography books, editorial, wildlife and advertising photography. Best in the shortlist will also be included in a show which will travel to various venues and art fairs worldwide. There are entry fees which range from $35 for a single image to $60 for a series and many different options in-between. The video below gives you an idea of 2014's prize and finalists.
Always a good opportunity. The Guardian invite submissions through its Guardian Witness platform from all UK-based photographers. No categories this year, just your best travel shots. The prize is a seven-night self-drive holiday through Iceland and a professional print of your work produced by us here at Point 101!
The My Memory blog has been running this monthly photography competition which invites entries from photographers anywhere in the world over the age of 18. You upload your images on the theme of 'Light' and then followers of the blog vote for the winner. The prizes for the monthly competitions are fairly small – this month including Samsung products such as portable/flash drives – but if you enter multiple competitions over 2016, you can accrue points resulting in cash prizes of £1000 (for the winner) and a second place prize of £250. You can enter up to 30 images per calendar year.
The Luxembourg Art Prize invites artists working in a broad range of media (including digital art, photography, video and mixed media) to submit work regardless of nationality or age. The prize seeks to provide opportunities for unknown or emerging artists with a group gallery show in Luxembourg, one artist from which will then be selected and awarded a solo exhibition and a prize of approximately £19,610. It does cost £35 to enter but, if you get through, all the expenses of the artists will be covered by the prize – transport, shipping, accommodation, insurance. Also the opportunity to have your work, even in the group stage, exhibited at an international gallery is very good for your CV. You just have to create a Candidate Space profile through the prize's website and upload images and info about your work.
This is a monthly competition run by Psychologies Magazine which focusses, of course, on all element of psychology, health, wellbeing and also touches on art, culture and travel. Photographers are invites to submit an image along the theme of 'Adventure' which will then be printed in the magazine and also be featured online. Simply send your image along with 75 words about your photograph through the website and you can also check out the previous winner's gallery here to get a feel of what they tend to go for.

Dana Lewis
Dana Lewis is a creator of the "Do-It-Yourself Pancreas System" (#DIYPS), founder of the open source artificial pancreas system movement (#OpenAPS), and a passionate advocate of patient-centered, -driven, and -designed research.
Dana first created #DIYPS in December 2013 as a solution to make her own continuous glucose monitor (CGM) alarms louder. She iterated on this tool with Scott Leibrand, leading them to develop a simple (but effective) predictive algorithm that forecasts hours into the future and creates personalized recommendations for any necessary actions. Dana actively shared online about #DIYPS and engaging others from the #WeAreNotWaiting community in collaboration, including around development of the Nightscout Project. Within a year, they realized that Dana would be able to "close the loop" and create a hybrid closed loop artificial pancreas system to automate microadjustments of insulin delivery, by using the basic algorithm from #DIYPS and pairing it with off-the-shelf hardware and other open source code and tools to communicate directly with her insulin pump. Not satisfied with being one of the few people in the world with a DIY AP, Dana looked to the open source world as a way to pay it forward and enable others to self-build their own systems, too. Thus, #OpenAPS was created in February 2015, and the rest is history. There are now more than (n=1)*1,300+ (see the latest up to date count here) individuals around the world who have also built their own DIY artificial pancreas using a variety of tools and technology from the open source, "DIY diabetes" community.
Rather than coming from a traditional engineering background, Dana brings together a mix of technical and communication skills and a unique perspective to focus on bringing together individuals regardless of their traditional "role" in healthcare. She is an experienced community builder and facilitator, after first creating and then successfully moderating the #hcsm (healthcare communications & social media) Twitter community that spanned six continents and ran for 9 years. (#hcsm was used as the model for most healthcare Twitter communities such as #bcsm, #dsma, and more). She combines this community experience with a deep understanding of communication and the tools and technologies that drive collaboration in social media or offline.
As a result, Dana has taken a leadership role in a number of research projects that bring together diverse perspectives (academic, industry, government, and patient communities, to name a few). She served as Principal Investigator for a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation funded grant project to work to scale patient-led innovation and scientific discovery in more patient communities, and is PI or co-PI on numerous other diabetes data science and APS-related grant projects. These teams bring together computer and data scientists, healthcare providers, economists, social and behavioral scientists, and others alongside patients to study the different ramifications of projects in the open source, patient-led research communities.
Dana frequently writes and publishes on topics specific to DIY diabetes work and the broader implications of patient-driven and -designed research. Dana also authored the book, "Automated Insulin Delivery: How artificial pancreas "closed loop" systems can aid you in living with diabetes", to help more people understand automated insulin delivery systems. Her work has been referenced or featured in Nature, The Lancet, WNYC's "Only Human" podcast, The Wall Street Journal, Popular Science, WebMD, Diabetes Forecast, USA Today, and other mainstream media publications. Her own writings frequently appear elsewhere, ranging from publication such as Clinical Diabetes and Journal of Diabetes Science and Technology to being cited in books like Free to Make. She was invited numerous times to the White House under the Obama administration to participate in workshops related to the Precision Medicine Initiative, in addition to being invited by the White House to speak on stage at the White House Frontiers Conference. Additionally, Dana collaborates actively with HHS, NIH, and FDA officials on a regular basis in the U.S., in addition to sharing insight with government officials in other countries interested in patient-driven innovation. Dana serves on the Board of Directors for the Open Humans Foundation and for Life for a Child USA, as well as serving as a member of the International Steering Committee for Life for a Child. She also travels and speaks worldwide on the topics of patient DIY-ing, OpenAPS, and the changes coming to health and healthcare as a result of patients having easy access to technology and collaboration tools in their pockets. Dana has keynoted at conferences ranging from the O'Reilly Open Source Conference (OSCON) to a convening at European Parliament. She has been honored with the Edison Foundation's "Best Use of Intel Edison" Award (2017); one of Fast Company's "100 Most Creative People in Business" (2017), and Red Hat's Women In Open Source Community Award (2018).
Dana is continually working to scale the impact of the DIY/maker/(n=1) movement in healthcare, and actively supporting patients from other communities in their work to scale their own impact. She is open to supporting and collaborating with others in the patient or traditional research communities to further this body of work. (Please reach out if you are a fellow patient-designer/-researcher looking for support, or a traditional researcher/scientist looking to collaborate. Dana can be reached by email at Dana@OpenAPS.org.)

Learning Grove Opens Childcare Facilities for Emergency Personnel
Funded by Greater Cincinnati Foundation & United Way of Greater Cincinnati's COVID-19 Regional Response Fund.
Just 90 days after Cincinnati Early Learning Centers and Children, Inc., merged to form Learning Grove, COVID-19 swept through our country and changed how they serve children and families in our community.
A longstanding partner of United Way Success By 6, Learning Grove had to promptly close several childcare centers, cancel college and career readiness programs and home visitation appointments and modify their support network for childcare providers.
The support of the COVID-19 Regional Response Fund, activated by United Way of Greater Cincinnati and Greater Cincinnati Foundation, allowed them to transition all of those programs into virtual experiences.
Learning Grove also opened two childcare facilities for emergency personnel in response to the pandemic. Following the guidelines of the CDC and government officials, they have continued to provide affordable, high-quality education with low student-to-teacher ratios.
"Financial support from the fund has been instrumental in helping Learning Grove operate two emergency response childcare sites in Ohio and Kentucky for our community's health care workers and other essential employees during the pandemic," said Helen Mattheis, Learning Grove VP of Advancement. "Those funds have also allowed us to distribute critical supplies to families including emergency food, diapers, health and hygiene items and educational materials through our outreach services. We are deeply grateful for this support to help our families during this time."
The rapid-response fund has distributed more than $2.5 million into the community and will continue to support relief and recovery efforts for those who are most disproportionately affected by – and most vulnerable to – the health, economic, education, housing and social impacts of the crisis.

How Entrepreneurs Can Navigate the Crisis of Trust
The past two years have heralded a massive shift in trust -- one that veers away from larger institutions, government, the media and specific industries, placing that trust into the hands and voices of individuals.
Trust in institutions has plummeted. We have reached an unprecedented crisis in confidence with major, long-lasting ramifications. Facebook, punctuated by recent cardboard cutouts of the CEO emblazoned with the phrase "Fix It," is a symptom of the larger problem. There needs to be a renewed focus on restoring faith in what people see and read because the public doesn't know what to believe anymore.
The signs are everywhere. This year's Edelman Trust Barometer revealed the greatest drop in trust levels in the United States in the poll's history. The shrill cries of "fake news" have resulted in a majority of peoplenow doubting the veracity of mainstream media outlets. It's reached existential proportions: People no longer trust themselves to correctly identify truth over falsehood. David Brooks, of The New York Times,recently wrote: "The last few decades have been a social trust apocalypse. The only remaining bonds of trust are local and particular."
While we may no longer have faith in institutions like government and the media, there is someone we still do trust -- other people. I trust my colleagues, my friends, my family. And this is where I do agree with Brooks. Trust remains an incredibly powerful force when it's local and specific. When trust in institutions falters -- and it is faltering -- trust in individuals becomes ultimately more important.
Even transactions that are seemingly peer-to-peer or consumer-to-consumer are fraught with complications. Regardless of Amazon's long-standing ban on paid reviews, fake reviews run rampant, making it difficult for sellers to be successful unless they pay for fraudulent ones.
When we talk about trust in business, it's generally viewed through the lens of either corporate ethics or adhering to consumer expectations. But that narrative misses a fundamental truism about the American workplace -- companies are truly made up of the people behind them. The drum has been beat to death about the importance of trust when it comes to external branding, but there is not enough discussion on the significance of fostering and developing trust to your employees.
Teams that trust each other run circles around teams that don't. Workers that trust each other are proud to be a part of a team and motivated to do their best work. They don't fear gossipy colleagues or overreactions to simple mistakes. They feel seen, heard and understood.
My company, Dynamic Signal, has had a front-row seat to this massive crisis of trust. We help organizations connect with all of their workers. And, if both the company and workers desire it, we also empower employees to become influential advocates for their companies. Part of our role has become to help our customers navigate this terrain of profound mistrust and show them that employee advocacy, when done appropriately, can be a crucial vehicle to do so.
Our message is simple. Be authentic. Be truthful. Be honest. The basis of every meaningful relationship is trust. Organizations must start by building credibility with their most valued assets -- their people -- by communicating relevant information that demonstrates the organization trusts and values the employees. When employees believe in the mission of their company, they will share that belief with the people in their own social networks in order to help achieve that mission.
Trust is not something that's given. It must be earned. There needs to be faith in both the original source of the information as well as the person who is sharing it. Our view is that organizations hoping to encourage employees to share legitimate messages first must be authentic and transparent in how they communicate with their people. That's the only way employees will want to share those messages with those who, in turn, trust them. It becomes a virtuous circle.
And it happens because authenticity matters. We are witnessing a historic crisis of trust. The foundation of your customer relationships are your people, and your people are the ones who can build trust in your organization.
At the end of the day, if you're a communicator or a marketer or an executive, you want to be on the side of being trustworthy. Without that, you really have no brand.

Cousins finds his receivers; Vikings find well-deserved win over Chargers
INGLEWOOD, Calif .– The Vikings had lost two in a row, traveling west after perhaps their most tumultuous week of the season, and had to play the Chargers without Anthony Barr, Michael Pierce, Danielle Hunter, Harrison Smith or Patrick Peterson.
The fact that they have Justin Jefferson on their roster means that there is always an avenue available where attacking football gets a little easier. They took full advantage of it during the most important moments of their 27-20 victory at SoFi Stadium on Sunday.
The last three passes Kirk Cousins threw to Jefferson, one day the receiver caught nine for 143 yards, came on third downs. The former shot an 11-yard pass interference penalty on Chris Harris, keeping a practice alive that put the Vikings in front for good. The second helped them avoid a three-and-out on a TD workout that put them 10. And the last – a 27-yard grab on Tevaughn Campbell who withstood a challenge from the Chargers – meant the Vikings would extend a practice that started with their third detention penalty of the day, to finish with Cousins in victory formation after finding Adam Thielen for 18 yards on third and 20 and Dalvin Cook gained 4 yards on a fourth toss .
Yes, things can be simpler than the Vikings have been in recent weeks, when their two Pro Bowl receivers combined for 13 catches in a straight loss to the Cowboys and Ravens. Coach Mike Zimmer said he knew Jefferson "was very frustrated" with his lack of targets, adding that he dismissed the receiver this week and promised to get him involved.
"I said to him, 'You have to do something for me, and that's come here and train really hard and do the things that you're supposed to do, and study and be precise in your routes, and we're going to t 'have the ball,' Zimmer said.
It would seem like an obvious part of the Vikings' game plan each week (although Zimmer criticized offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak for admitting it at his press conference on Thursday), but on Sunday the Vikings launched their attack on the third in the league. -better pass defense just by trusting Jefferson and Thielen.
The cousins found both receivers with midfield strikes against the Chargers' split safety looks, and trusted Jefferson in particular to make contested catches along the sideline. He landed two 27-yard jumping catches against Campbell, screaming and pumping his fists after the fourth quarter catch. Replays showed he kept his hand under the ball as it fell to the ground, which cost Los Angeles coach Brandon Staley a time-out when his challenge failed.
"I didn't think they were going to cancel it," Jefferson said. "I knew I had caught it."
Jefferson said the Vikings made a "big adjustment" this week by focusing on handing the ball over to their best players, adding that Cousins knew he could throw the ball at him anytime the ball was thrown. Chargers' defense gave them a certain look.
If it's confusing that it took the Vikings so long to get there, they couldn't have afforded to wait any longer.
The victory – the Vikings' first since their week off and the second on the road this season – moved them to 4-5, held them tied for last place in the NFC playoffs, and changed the tenor of the game. 'a week that could have involved some troubling questions. they entered a home game with the Packers at 3-6.
The Vikings beat the Chargers 194-98 total in yards in the first half, but were flagged eight times for 93 yards, including a Christian Darrisaw penalty that erased a Cousins touchdown pass to CJ Ham and turned the drive into a field goal.
BOXSCORE: Vikings 27, LA Chargers 20
They gave up on a Chargers touchdown with 1.5 hours left in the half, bringing the points they allowed in the final two minutes of the first half to 52, the worst in the NFL. After burning their three timeouts in an effort to reclaim the ball, the Vikings ran Cook for a 3-yard loss on the first down. The cousins threw incomplete shots under pressure on the second and third downs, and the Vikings punted after holding the ball for just 19 seconds.
Only a Xavier Woods break in Justin Herbert's third shot against Jared Cook prevented the Chargers from getting a second goal in the dying minutes, and the Vikings led 13-10 at halftime.
Herbert led a 75-yard touchdown to give the Chargers the lead early in the second half, and Los Angeles forced a three-and-out on the Vikings' next drive. By the time she had to stand up, the Vikings' defense was at its best.
Rookie security Camryn Bynum, walking away with Harrison Smith on the COVID-19 roster, sacked Herbert in a third-down blitz to force a punt. This led to the Vikings touchdown, when a pressurized Cousins passed to Tyler Conklin on the fourth and the 1 goal – the tight end's second TD of the day, doubling his career tally to four.
The Vikings affected Herbert with two-fail pressure on the next drive, then went up 10 on Cook's 1-yard touchdown run with 9:29 left in the game.
Herbert's 195 passing yards were his low this season; The Chargers' 253 offensive yards were their second shortest of the season.
"I really think the corners did a good job challenging these guys. They are two very good receivers. [Keenan Allen and Mike Williams], and the tight end [Jared Cook]He's a good player too, "Zimmer said." So I think we did a good job. "
He also called Eric Kendricks 'interception a "big time" in the second quarter and saluted his sack on the Chargers' first pass attempt.
When the time came to close the game, Zimmer said he didn't want the Chargers to get the ball with a chance for Herbert to tie the game. Ahead of 27-20 with 2:32 to go, they chose to go (a day they also tried a false punt for the second week in a row before officials blew the game up).
Cook arrived in the right corner in the toss, and the Vikings' offense – who spent so many weeks frantically trying to come back, or nervously watching the defense attempt to stop a late rally – were able to end their game. day in victory training.
"It's the best formation in football," said Conklin, who also had a 5-yard touchdown in the second quarter. "Every week you have your Saturday visit and you're training for victory, and that's what you want to be at the end of the day on Sunday."
It's so much simpler that way.

Partnership between America and Israel deepens as cyber threats proliferate
"This is a derivative of technological development and the development of the threat. I think six years ago, the word ransomware wasn't in the daily dialogue. Today, everyone knows what it is," said Lt. Col. O, a senior officer from the Israel Defense Forces Joint Cyber Defense Division.

(December 1, 2021 / JNS) Cooperation between the United States and Israel in the cyber arena is growing more intense with each year, an Israel Defense Forces source has told JNS.
The source spoke days after the head of the IDF's J6 and Cyber Defense Directorate, Maj. Gen. Lior Carmeli, awarded a service medal to the U.S. Cyber Command's liaison officer in Israel on Nov. 23.
The liaison officer, named Mr. M., was awarded in recognition of his ongoing work for "promoting strategic operational cooperation in the cyber arena," the IDF said in a statement. "Since the establishment of the U.S. Cyber Command, Mr. M. has been leading and promoting cooperation with Israel."
"There is strategic cooperation between the J6 and Cyber Defense Directorate, and the [U.S. Department of Defense's] Cyber Command, Lt. Col. O, a senior officer at the IDF Joint Cyber Defense Division, told JNS.
The collaboration has been in place since the Cyber Command and the Cyber Defense Directorate were set up, he added. "I can say that it is congruent with the strategic partnership that exists between Israel and the U.S. The cybersphere is another layer, which is developing."
In recent months, both the United States and Israel have experienced unprecedented cyber attacks, including the ransomware attack on the U.S.'s Colonial Pipeline company, an American oil-pipeline system that originates in Houston; and a ransomware attack on Israel's Hillel Yaffe Medical Center in Hadera.
"There is an entire battle taking place in this sphere. In the U.S. and Israel, we can see a similarity in a big part of the events. This is a strategic challenge," said Lt. Col. O.
Even cyber incidents that are perceived as civilian ones can take on a strategic influence due to their ability to undermine national stability, he cautioned.

"These are civilian incidents, with minor military involvement, but militaries can be dragged in because in both countries, the military is the strong, large cyber organization," said Lt. Col. O.
The decision to award the liaison officer in November came after the IDF's General Staff decided to recognize the extraordinary partnership in place.
"Since the beginning, we [and the Americans] have been dealing with conceptual issues, and advanced to more significant issues that cannot be detailed," said Lt. Col. O.
The award ceremony is the first time that a medal was given to a liaison officer, he noted, and is intended to "show appreciation" for the cooperation in place.
"If you put it on a graph, the cooperation is intensifying from year to year," he stated. "This is a derivative of technological development and the development of the threat. I think six years ago, the word ransomware wasn't in the daily dialogue. Today, everyone knows what it is. As the technology and threats develop, the result is that cooperation develops, too."
'Exercises are a means, not an objective'
The cooperation is quiet, in the shadows and is highly significant to the defense establishments of both countries.
"We're talking about strategic cooperation in all spheres of military activity," said the officer.
It also includes joint training, with the largest common cyber exercise, Cyber Drome, occurring virtually in 2020 due to the global pandemic.
In the 2019 drill, tens of Israeli cyber defenders from the Joint Cyber Defense Division, along with cyber defenders from the Intelligence Directorate, Israeli Air Force, Israeli Navy and its ground forces, flew to the United States.
"In recent years, we've been holding more than a few joint exercises," said Lt. Col. O. "But the exercises are a means, not an objective. Ultimately, they are a way to improve capabilities and do more things together."
