Preemption of Local Laws in Maine
See our Preemption of Local Laws policy summary for a comprehensive discussion of this issue.
Preemption Statute
The Maine Legislature has adopted an express preemption statute. Section 2011 of title 25 of Maine Rev. Stat. provides:
1. Preemption. The State intends to occupy and preempt the entire field of legislation concerning the regulation of firearms, components, ammunition and supplies. Except as provided in subsection 3, any existing or future order, ordinance, rule or regulation in this field of any political subdivision of the State is void. 2. Regulation restricted. Except as provided in subsection 3, no political subdivision of the State, including, but not limited to, municipalities, counties, townships and village corporations, may adopt any order, ordinance, rule or regulation concerning the sale, purchase, purchase delay, transfer, ownership, use, possession, bearing, transportation, licensing, permitting, registration, taxation or any other matter pertaining to firearms, components, ammunition or supplies.
The adoption of express preemption rendered invalid many local ordinances regulating firearms.1 In addition to affecting regulations by cities and counties, section 2011 preempts firearms regulations by municipal agencies or authorities.2
Political subdivisions in Maine are allowed to enact ordinances that:
Conform exactly with state law3
Regulate firearm discharge4
Law enforcement agencies also retain the authority "to regulate the type and use of firearms" issued to its employees.5
As of the date this page was last updated, Giffords Law Center is not aware of any significant case law interpreting these statutes.
Other Statutory Provisions
Maine also limits local regulation of shooting ranges. A municipal noise control or other ordinance may not require or be applied so as to require a sport shooting range to limit or eliminate shooting activities that have occurred on a regular basis at the range prior to the enactment date of the ordinance, as long as the range conforms to generally accepted gun safety and shooting range operation practices or is constructed in a manner not reasonably expected to allow a projectile to cross the boundary of the range.6 Subject to some limitations, local governments are allowed, however, to regulate the location and construction of new sport shooting ranges or substantial change in use of existing ranges on or after September 1, 2016.7
Further, a 2017 law prohibits local governments (as well as state agencies) in Maine from keeping, or causing to be kept, a list or registry of privately owned firearms or firearm owners within their jurisdiction.8
For state laws prohibiting local units of government (i.e., cities and counties) from filing certain types of lawsuits against the gun industry, see our page on Immunity Statutes in Maine.
See, e.g., Hilly v. City of Portland, 582 A.2d 1213, 1215 (Me. 1990) (holding that section 2011 preempted a Portland ordinance prohibiting the carrying of guns at night).[↩]
See Doe v. Portland Housing Authority, 656 A.2d 1200, 1203-04 (Me. 1995) (finding that section 2011 preempted a municipal housing authority's leasing provision that prohibited the possession of firearms on the leased premises).[↩]
Me. Stat., 25, § 2011(3).[↩]
Id. Though section 13201 of title 12 (relating to inland fisheries and wildlife) precludes a political subdivision from enacting "any ordinance, law or rule regulating the hunting, trapping or fishing for any species of fish or wildlife," the statute specifically provides that the restriction does not prohibit the enactment of "any ordinance generally regulating the discharge of firearms in a municipality or any part of a municipality." Any municipality adopting or amending a firearm discharge ordinance, though, must consult with the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife during the process and must use "clearly defined physical boundaries" as points of reference to describe the area or areas in which the discharge of firearms is prohibited. Me. Stat., 30, § 3007(5).[↩]
Id. at (3) and (4).[↩]
Me. Stat., 25, § 2014.[↩]


Debra did such a wonderful job for us at on our wedding day. She had wonderful suggestions, especially for me as I was a little unsure going into the day for how I wanted my hair. I showed her a couple of ideas and she captured what I wanted exactly. She is clearly very experienced and was a joy to work with. She was very professional and upfront and I would suggest her to any bride/bridal party.
It was such a pleasure working with you! I wish you both much joy and happiness!
Deborah was very punctual, professional, and most of all took pride in her work. She took the time to re-do the brides hair when she felt it could look better, not because the bride thought anything was wrong. Deborah was able to duplicate all the unique up dos that each bridesmaid requested and made modifications for the weather conditions that day to ensure the updo would last the entire event. She did not overuse hair pins to secure the up dos and did a great job making sure those pins were concealed and not visible. So many previous stylists stick pins everywhere and it becomes not only uncomfortable but the pins are no concealed properly. Deborah's background and experience makes her a great candidate for any bride. You won't be disappointed.
It was a joy working with you!
Deborah was so easy to work with - she was flexible with payment options, arrived on-time for our appointment, and gave me exactly what I was looking for with hair and makeup. As someone who uses a moderate amount of makeup normally, having professional airbrush makeup was a little nerve wracking - Deborah made sure that I was happy with my makeup application every step of the way. She was quick and precise and was really down-to-earth. I would definitely recommend Deborah to my family and friends!
Deborah Lira and her team were fantastic from start to finish. I could not have asked for a better team for my special day. I'm not typically a big hair and make-up person so she took the lead and the results were perfect. My groom said it literally took his breath away. Thanks, Deborah!
Exquisite and. Deborah handled a near meltdown with a miscommunication like a pro! All the maids loved their styles...each was unique to their personifies. Makeup artist listened well, revised as I asked and I was satisfied with results. Deborah's team worked well under stress and tight timelines. I would highly recommend their services.
Thank you Deborah for your hair and makeup service for our Texas wedding!! I appreciated all your flexibility and communication via email up until the day we met for the wedding! My hair and all the hair of my bridesmaids was breath taking! I know it was a hectic day prior to the ceremony, on my part, but you were so sweet and comforting and I cant thank you enough for being you and for being so understanding, patient, and kind. My mama looked stunning as well! I loved her makeup! Im so glad our wedding was featured on Ruffled for all to see what an amazing job you did! Thank you so much!
Deborah and her team did hair and make-up for my wedding and my bridal portrait. I was extremely pleased with the quality of their work, and they provided these excellent services at a price point that was competitive with other stylists located in the Austin area. Deborah was so easy to work with and extremely flexible throughout the entire planning process. Any time I had a question, she was quick to respond and her responses demonstrated her extensive knowledge about hair and make-up. Her team styled hair for my bridesmaids, my mom, the mother of the groom, my cousins, and myself. Her team also did make-up for the mothers, several bridesmaids, and myself. Her team really listened to what each girl was wanting for individual hair and make-up, and her team definitely delivered. Everyone's hair and make-up was flawless! I highly recommend Deborah and her team for any hair or make-up services needed in the Austin area.
Deborah Lira and her associates did the hair and make up for my wedding this November at Hideout on the Horseshoe in Canyon Lake, TX. Deborah did a fantastic job. I was a bit of a scatter brained bride and Deborah was so easy going with everything. We spoke on the phone and emailed multiple times but I never actually did a trial with Deborah before the wedding weekend. Let me tell you, my hair and makeup turned out absolutely gorgeous. I had 10 bridesmaids, a mother of the bride, mother of the groom, and a flower girl that all needed hair and makeup services done. Throughout the day a couple other ladies added in services and Deborah just rolled with it and made time to beautify everyone. The airbrush make up was phenomenal and an absolute must have for an outdoor wedding. I cannot say enough good things about Deborah and her associates. I would highly recommend her to any bride!
I stumbled upon Deborah Lira on WeddingWire and I cannot begin to say how happy we were with her services. Deborah has the credentials and impressive resume, professionalism, and positive attitude my wife and I were looking for to make us (and our bridal party / parents) beautiful on our wedding day. Deborah was always extremely responsive and easy to get a hold of through emails or by phone, she was also very flexible. To top it off she actually listened to us when we explained what we wanted for our special day, and most impressively she doesn't hike her prices WAY up at the mention of the W-word. Not only did Deborah help us for our wedding but we also did a trial run the day of our engagement photos (both turned out beautifully). We live in San Francisco and happened to have a short notice trip to Texas for engagement photos and Deborah fit us in even on her day off with last minute notice! The day of our wedding Deborah and her assistant were early to arrive at our venue (The Texas Federation of Women's Clubs) and came ready to go with a plan and timeline. They did mine and my wife's hair, air brush make-up, as well as several members of our bridal party. All were beautiful.
This woman is top notch and I would recommend her to everyone.
Amanda it was truly a pleasure working with you two! Best Wishes for a wonderful and blessed life together.
Deborah is wonderful!! Couldn't recommend her highly enough. She did my hair, my mom's, my grandmother's, and all eight of my bridesmaids' hair. Everyone was happy!
Simply put it was the prettiest day of my life! I felt beautiful!!! My hair and makeup were perfect. Deborah and her team were prompt, stayed on schedule and extremely professional yet friendly.
Words cannot express how much I loved Deborah and her team! They did an incredible job on the three bridesmaids (11 yrs old, 15 yrs old, and 19 years old) finding an age appropriate look for each of them. My mother-in-law and stepmother looked amazing. I was even happy with my look and that's never happened for me before after having my hair and makeup professionally done. I'm very particular and she exceeded my expectations. They were a blast to be around all day. They kept us laughing and relaxed on a crazy, hectic day. I would definitely recommend Deborah!
Deborah and her team were amazing! The airbrush makeup looked beautiful. I especially loved my hair too. I told Deborah that I wanted really soft, loose waves but she explained that she would have to make tighter curls so that they would still look decent by the end of the night. She was so right. By the time we did photos after the ceremony, the curls had loosened a bit and were gorgeous. Very romantic hair - just like I wanted. She and her team came to my house and even showed up a few minutes early and finished ahead of schedule. My bridesmaids and I had a lot of fun talking to them as well. Highly recommended!
Very Flexible and willing to listen to my opinion. Whenever there was something I did not like she was very helpful in fixing it or helping me decide what I wanted to change. Outstanding - would go back for any future event, absolutely loved her. Have recommended her to friends and will continue to do so.
She was great to work with and did a wonderful job on my hair and my bridesmaids hair!
Funny and fun to work with! We did a trial run a few months before the wedding so that I could decide on a style. On the actual day, she brought a team to the venue site for me & my bridesmaids. Everyone's hair and makeup was beautiful!


… you will be taught how to fly.
Inspired by beautiful ancient Egyptian jewelry, I wanted to paint my beautifully be-jeweled eagle, soaring above (the mundane) pursuing her dreams, into the unknown, yet her soul knows, she is drawn irresistibly, no matter what. Once you have captured but a mysterious glimpse of glory, you must see more, savoring the nectar of life.

Homeboy Sandman with Xero God @ New Mountain SOL Bar > 9/8
Homeboy Sandman New Mountain's SOL Bar hosts a night of hip hop, wordsmithing, and deep beats on Tuesday, September 8th. The intimate venue is ideal for an up close and personal night with some of the best emcees and DJs in Asheville and beyond. The unmissable Homeboy Sandman will be gracing us with his mesmerizing presence, and the night's electric talent is even more exciting because this is the debut performance of Xero God, the combined forces of Musashi Xero and Panther God. It's an evening of hip hop and electronic music from some of the best producers and artists making music right now. Headliner Homeboy Sandman hails from New York City. His music is intelligent, soulful, political, and melodic. Laid over smooth beats, his vocals shine. It's a culturally aware brand of hip hop that invites discourse as well as dancing. Homeboy Sandman's work has been acclaimed since early in his career. He has been named "Best Hip Hop Act in NYC" after the release of his album Actual Factual Pterodactyl (2008). His most recent LP, Hallways (Stones Throw, 2014) has been praised as "as class-conscious as alt-rap gets" by music critic Robert Christgau. Songs like "Refugee" are poetic manifestos critiquing the music industry and looking honestly at his own rise to notoriety. The video, shot in California's eerie Salton Sea, is worth a watch. Also check out the utterly charming "Not Really." Xero God is Musashi Xero and Panther God. This duo joined forces and is about to release their first album, a self-titled tour de force that brings together Panther God's electric beats and Musashi Xero's smooth poetry. As Xero God, they are an unstoppable force. The beats are smooth and sleek, steeped in jazz and hip hop and with a pure edge of innovation. The vocals come in cascading waves of dark verse that fall effortlessly on top of the layered tracks. The music manages to convey both vulnerability and swagger, easy confidence and deep reflection. Xero God is truly a union of two visionary artists who have created something wholly new together. Xero God hasn't released any tracks from the album yet, but I can tell you that it's freaking awesome. You can check out Panther God: Golden Changes LP And Musashi Xero: Underground Kill Wave EP The Last Word Benders, photo by Tempus Fugit Design The Last Word Benders is an infectious band of marauding steampunk dirigible captains who have arrived to sweep you off your feet with erudite rhymes over infectious beats. Midiboss and Jeshua Morningstar are known for their exuberant performances of nerdcore hip hop. Their quick, witty, and reference-filled lyrics will have you shaking your hips and nodding your head. It's a physical and a mental experience as the Word Benders transport you, steamship-captain style, into the world of their dreams. Listen to Last Word Benders "Like A Sir" by Dub Walker. DJ Kutzu hasn't stopped laying down old-school turntable beats as long as I've been in Asheville, and it's clear he's going to keep finding new places for scratching to go. Kutzu's commitment to the craft roots him deeply in the satisfying sounds of analog expression, and from this foundation he soars to new frontiers of sonic mastery. Kutzu's performances are always amazing, and you should snatch any opportunity to catch him live. The show is at Sol Bar at New Mountain on 30 N French Broad Avenue in downtown Asheville and gets started at 10 pm. Tickets are $10 and are available in advance here. It's a rare opportunity to see world-class hip hop in Asheville. Don't miss it.

En præsteslægt er en slægt, hvor der er tradition for, at en stor del af slægtens medlemmer, antager hvervet som præst. Oftest vidergives præsteskabet fra faderen til sønnen, og tit flere generationer i træk.

Flere danske slægter har præstelig oprindelse, hvorfor disse betegnes som præsteslægter, på trods af at deres nulevende medlemmer, ikke nødvendigvis antager hvervet som præst.

Danske præsteslægter

Pakistan and India: Liberal trade policy stressed
LAHORE: In efforts to liberalise business and trade between the neighboring countries, the third meeting of the Pakistan India Joint Business Forum concluded in Lahore this year.
The forum was facilitated by The Pakistan Business Council (PBC) and the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), which have been appointed secretariats by the governments of the two countries.
The Indian delegation was led by Hero Motors India Chairman Sunil Kant Munjal, with Nestle Pakistan Chairman Syed Yawar Ali, leading the Pakistan side.
Over 50 delegates from Pakistan and India attended the joint forum, covering a wide range of trade-related issues and concluded with a list of recommendations identifying areas of potential cooperation, as well as outlining specific steps to bolster bilateral trade in sectors such as agriculture, automotive, energy, and SMEs.
The joint agriculture taskforce proposed a bilateral agreement to create better trade links and identify mutually beneficial ground for cross-border trade.
The taskforce also recommended the urgent opening-up of the Wagah-Attari border for items such as farm machinery, equipment, and agri-inputs.
The automotive taskforce advised that trade in the auto sector be initially boosted at the component level, while encouraging cooperation between the two countries in terms of technical and skills development support.
The energy taskforce emphasised the importance of business-to-business collaboration and government support, specifically in renewable energy projects.
It was also advised that the two governments move forward in facilitating cross-border sale of power. The SME taskforce recommended that more items of small medium enterprises be added to Pakistan's 'Wagah-Attari Allowed List', as well as creating warehousing facilities, simplifying documentation and custom procedures, along with creating a robust finance infrastructure framework for SMEs to facilitate smoother transactions.
The forum concluded that it was essential to liberalise the existing visa regime, removing entry-exit and city-specific restrictions, and recommended that this be prioritised by the two governments.
Other key recommendations included the opening up of more land routes; ensuring that the ICP (Integrated Check Post) at the Wagah-Attari border is operational on both sides and facilitating phone communication.
The members further emphasised the need for a dispute resolution mechanism and proposed the immediate implementation of the Redressal of Trade Grievances Agreement, ratified by both countries in September 2012.
Commenting on the occasion, Yawar Ali said that liberalisation of trade would impact the people of both countries. "Liberalisation of trade will not only benefit industries and businesses, it will have a definitive impact on the people of both Pakistan and India," said Ali. "Implementing the recommendations of the joint forum will not only prove economically advantageous, but will precipitate overall improved relations between the two countries."
Sunil Kant Munjal was pleased with how the discussions moved forward. "I am happy to say that the discussions held during joint forum were extremely robust," said Munjal. "I am confident that opening up trade between Pakistan and India, and following on the outcomes of the forum, will ultimately result in a win-win scenario for both countries."

Karamanti Shoots Video For Her Trending Single "Walkout"
The official video for Karamanti's latest single, Walkout, is now being edited.
It was shot by recording artist Mackamilli, from the popular Innocent Kru, approximately one week ago in the Seaview Gardens community (Kingston, Jamaica). Editing is being done by Maria Jackson, and is expected to be completed by the end of August.
Walkout was released in July, on both Rebel Sound and Karamanti's own, Blakkwuman22 Music.
Since the song was shared, it has been getting strong support from dancehall selectors worldwide; so much so that it prompted the shooting of the video immediately.

Home BC Blog Industry News New York Jets Partner with 888 Becoming the First NFL team to Deal with Online Gambling Site
New York Jets Partner with 888 Becoming the First NFL team to Deal with Online Gambling Site
Staff Writer Industry News, 888 Casino 1,465
The New York Jets have become the first National Football League team to ink a sponsorship deal with an online gambling operator, 888 Holdings.
Although the 888 signage have been visible at the Jets' MetLife Stadium for weeks now, the deal was confirmed by the betting company on 6 November.
The New York Post reported that "the fruits of the deal" were on full display outside the MetLife Stadium when the Jets played the Chicago Bears on Sunday in the form of "several three-story-high, bright-orange banners emblazoned with '888.com.'"
Yaniv Sherman, 888's head of group commercial development at 888, sees the deal as a huge step forward for the company that will strengthen the 888 brand in the US market.
"This exciting deal between the New York Jets and 888.com is a significant moment for both 888 and our industry as it marks the first ever sponsorship agreement between an NFL team and a global online operator."
"888 has a unique position across the three regulated states for full online gaming. This will support the successful delivery of our growth strategy to be a leading operator in the developing and potentially significant US online gaming market."
The Controversy
The MetLife Stadium is located across the Hudson in East Rutherford, North Jersey, where online gaming is legally regulated and this deal is the first of its kind and has already caused a lot of controversy.
The banners at the stadium do not specifically identify the betting brand of 888.com but they direct players to the online company's website with football graphics and direct links to 888sports.
The NFL explained that the deal would relax its long-running ban on casino advertising before the start of 2018-2019 season, following pressure from team owners. The step is huge for the NFL but the fact that 888 casino also runs a sports betting operation has risen some questions if this agreement exceeds the limits of what the NFL allows teams to do.
When the Supreme Court overturned PASPA in May, advertising casinos and other gambling companies became allowed but the NFL rules still prohibit the direct advertising of sports betting. While the Jets believe that avoiding specifically naming 888sport should be enough to follow the law, others believe that the sponsorship deal breaks the rules. We expect the official explanation later this week.
Jets also signed an official gaming partnership with MGM Resorts that previously signed NBA, NHL and WNBA agreements. NBA became the first US major sports league to take advantage of the federal law change and scooped a multi-year partnership worth $25 million.
The Dallas Cowboys and The Baltimore Ravens also seized new opportunities and took advantage of the relaxation on the regulations and have partnered with WinStar World and Caesars Entertainment respectively.


Oh well, what to say… It was a S-N-O-W-Y winter!!!
Today, closing day for steamboat, we got up ready for a sunny spring day… but no, it was snowing again… 489 inches of wonderful snow fell on "The Boat" this winter! great!


Heron Lakes Golf Club is home to two championship courses designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr, the Great Blue Course and the Greenback Course. Both utilize the rugged natural terrain in different ways, offering challenges that will appeal to both low and high handicappers. The Greenback Course is a versatile parkland layout that is gentle enough for beginners to approach with confidence. It is a less demanding design than the Great Blue but it still has plenty of challenges in store. There are 86 bunkers framing the elevated greens and six ponds come into play throughout however the mature trees present the most prominent threat. The par 3s on this golf course can be especially tough. The more challenging elements are nicely balanced by large, inviting greens and generous landing areas.
Designed by: Robert Trent Jones, Jr., Robert Trent Jones, Sr.
Greenback is a great track. It differs from Great Blue in that you have to maneuver the ball much more if you are going to score well. From the blues of both, Greenback is a more demanding course. The extra length is the only thing, in my opinion, that makes Great Blue rate tougher. My scores from the blues are almost identical, from the whites I score better on Great Blue. Go figure. We are very fortunate to have two terrific muny tracks next to each other for the prices.
Not has hard as the "Great Blue" course.It does demand proper shot choices.

Patrick de Zeeuw
Patrick de Zeeuw is an assistant professor at the NICHE Neuroimaging Lab, and a psychologist in clinical training towards the Dutch healthcare psychologist (GZ-psycholoog) registration, both at the Developmental Disorders Unit within the Department of Psychiatry. He completed his MSc in Clinical Neuropsychology (specialisation: Child Neuropsychology) at VU University Amsterdam in 2005. Afterwards, he worked as a teaching/research assistant with the departments of Clinical Neuropsychology at both VU University Amsterdam and Leiden University. He joined the NICHE lab in October 2006 as a PhD student where he investigated brain development and neuropsychological factors in childhood ADHD using a combination of MRI, cognitive, genetic and questionnaire approaches. In October 2011, he received his PhD with a dissertation entitled Neurobiological Heterogeneity in ADHD.
The main research interests of dr. De Zeeuw are the neurobiological and neuropsychological background of developmental disorders. He has been involved in a broad spectrum of clinical and basic research into ADHD since 2003. The main focus of his current research within the lab of prof.dr. Sarah Durston, continues to be on brain development in ADHD. In addition, together with PhD students in the lab, he works on the hypothesis that deviations in separable brain networks that are crucial to cognitive control, temporal processing and sensitivity to reward, may independently be associated with ADHD. He is also a strong advocate of integration of basic research into clinical practice and of combining both clinical and research activities to a broader and fuller understanding of developmental disorders.
Longitudinal structural MRI and DTI in children with ADHD
The aim of the project is to integrate sturctural neuroimaging, cognitive performance data and genotypic information in ADHD. To achieve this, a large group of children with ADHD and controls will be scanned using both structural Magnetic Resonance Imaging (sMRI) and Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI). Additionally, tests tapping cognitive functions which are known to be deficient in ADHD will be administered. These include tests of cognitive control, sensitivity to effects of stimulus timing and sensitivity to reward. DNA will be obtained from participants and their parents for genotyping. Candidate genes that will be investigated are genes which have been associated with ADHD and have been subsequently replicated, thus covering multiple (neurotransmitter) pathways. Of main interest in this large cohort study is describing brain development in ADHD, as well as the influence of genetic vulnerability and presence of cognitive deficits on brain development in ADHD.
The SCORE! study: on ADHD, reward sensitivity and behavioral therapy
Group behaviour therapy is a frequently used element in the treatment program for children with ADHD. A characteristic of behaviour therapy is that positive reward strategies are used to support the learning process and help establish new skills. The accompanying parent-training program also teaches parents how to employ positive reinforcement strategies effectively at home. However, research has shown that on average, children with ADHD are less sensitive to reward than children without ADHD. As such, a reduced sensitivity to reward might explain why some children with ADHD do not benefit as much from this type of therapy than others. Research is now also beginning to show substantial differences between children with ADHD: not every child diagnosed with ADHD has the exact same difficulties. Therefore, some children with ADHD might have very typical levels of sensitivity to reward, while others do not. We will conduct a pilot-study to investigate whether reward sensitivity measured before treatment can predict the effectiveness of such a group behavioral treatment.

Zyston CyberCAST – A Game Changer For Cybersecurity
Industry-First Solution Evaluates Security Program Maturity And Business Risk To People, Processes, and Technology
October 15, 2020 (Dallas, TX, AND Atlanta, GA) — Zyston, a managed security service (MSSP & MDR) provider, today announces the availability of its new CyberCAST security assessment. With a focus on evaluating security program maturity, Zyston's CyberCAST combines a technical penetration test with an industry-leading security assessment. As cybersecurity breaches become more paramount and widespread, Zyston is prepared to help its customers reduce the threat of dangerous cyber-attacks with its new CyberCAST offering.
"Recently, the FBI reported a 300% increase in cyber attacks since the start of the COVID-19 health pandemic*," said Craig Stamm, CEO of Zyston. "As organizations move to cloud-based services to accommodate remote employees, organizations are at higher risk for security breaches."
Zyston's CyberCAST offering provides a quantitative security risk score along with industry comparative benchmarks, and both a strategic and tactical roadmap to improve that score to a desired state maturity score over a defined period of time. The penetration test component focuses on evaluating findings based on business risk, categorizing vulnerabilities based on systemic and process-related issues.
"Zyston is disrupting the security industry with our CyberCAST assessment," continued Stamm. "Traditionally, Security Managers have had to procure a penetration test if they want technical findings, and a security assessment if they want a more holistic understanding of their security program, and often the findings are extremely technical or lacked business context. Our CyberCAST solution is the first of its kind to focus on true business risk in the areas of people, processes, and technology."
The goal of the CyberCAST security assessment is to provide an organization's CIO or CISO with a report that they can share with senior executives that explains the state of maturity of the organization's security posture in a business language they can easily comprehend. As a client's information security partner, Zyston can both execute the CyberCAST assessment and help facilitate the communication of the CyberCAST assessment findings among the client's leadership team.
In September 2020, Zyston was listed among the top global 250 MSSPs of 2020 by MSSP Alert, an exclusive research and news publication. Zyston was also recently named an industry leader by Forrester in the midsize cybersecurity services space, and the full Forrester report is available for download on Zyston's website.
For a limited time, Zyston is offering an introductory CyberCAST security assessment called the Zyston CyberCAST Snapshot. In just 15-minutes, organizations can establish a benchmark of their security program's maturity and get a sense of where they sit compared to industry benchmarks.

This time of year always seems to be extra busy for many us of with all the holiday parties, baking, shopping, entertaining, and other festivities.
Inevitably, many of us will feel like we have more requests for our time than we have hours in the day. We'll be "pulled" in too many different directions; and in order to stay sane, we'll need to make some conscious decisions as to how we will (and will not) spend our time.
Over the years, I've gotten SO much better at saying 'no' to things, people, activities, and opportunities that don't align with my goals, that aren't fulfilling to me, and that don't fit with my family's current stage of life. It's never easy or fun to say no, but from my experience, it's 100% necessary… unless you want to feel overly busy, rushed, and stressed all the time.
The tricky part about deciding when to say "yes" and when to say "no" is that it is a decision that will be different for every person… and even for one person in different situations.
For example, there might be times when Dave says "yes" to helping with an extra activity at school because it fits well with his schedule that week. However, the following week might be a busier week for me, so Dave might decide to say "no" to the exact same activity so he can leave school earlier and help me at home.
Similarly, I might say "yes" to helping at Nora's school for a morning because my sister has the day off and can watch Simon and James… but I'd say "no" to the same request for my time if I couldn't find a sitter for the boys.
There are SO many different variables that affect how we spend our time, it's essentially impossible for me to give advice as to the "best" way to spend your time, or the "most efficient" way for you to make time management decisions.
However, I can share a few things I think about when I'm making my own time management decisions.
Basically, I mentally divvy up my daily to-dos into multiple different categories based on importance and urgency.
For me, this category includes things like work deadlines, pre-scheduled appointments, picking children up from various places, getting gas when the light is on, making sure the bills are paid on time, etc.
These tasks are often my "Top 5 List", which means I will move other things around in my schedule to make time for these activities and obligations. If we can't make time for the MUST DO items on our list, we need to reevaluate how we are spending our time!
The SHOULD DO tasks are those that come "next in line" to the MUST DO tasks. They are important and do need to be completed at some point in the near future, but they are not as urgent as the MUST DO tasks.
For me, things like cleaning the house, pulling weeds, working on my digital photo albums, meal planning, freezer cooking, and replying to non-urgent emails would fall in this category. They are tasks that I want to do soon, and tasks that need to be completed at some point in the near future, but they don't necessarily have to be done right now, or even today.
If I put these activities off for too long, they will eventually become MUST DO items, so my personal goal is to do a few of these every day so I stay on top of things.
The COULD DO tasks are optional. They aren't necessarily super important or urgent (at least not for me), but they are usually enjoyable tasks.
For me, this category includes things like various re-organization projects around the house, watching Netflix, reading, exercising, hanging out with friends, running non-urgent errands, or updating older posts and pages on my blog.
They are all worth-while activities that I usually enjoy, but when my time is limited, these are some of the activities I can push off until a later time without causing too much chaos.
These "could do" activities rarely ever make my Top 5 list, but they are always in the back of my mind for days when a grandparent comes unexpectedly to play with the kids and I have a little extra free time!
The WOULD LIKE TO DO tasks are some of my favorite — because I'm naturally a dreamer and a planner. Just like it sounds, these are tasks and activities that I "would like to do" some day.
They definitely aren't on my high-priority list right now, and nothing is lost if I scratch them and decide I don't ever want to make time to do them, but they are fun to think about.
Dave and I have lots of house and yard projects on our "would like to do" list, and I'm always coming up with cool ideas to grow my blog and my business — but they will all have to wait for when I decide to make the time to put them on my SHOULD DO or MUST DO list. For now, they are just things I would like to do some day in the future.
I should note that although I usually don't have plans to immediately pursue any of my "would like to do" items, by simply knowing they are on my "would like to do" list and thinking about them every now and then, I'm much more inclined to jump at opportunities that allow me to do these activities.
The WON'T DO tasks are tasks that I consciously decide NOT to spend time on at this point in my life. It doesn't mean any of these activities are bad or wrong or useless, it just means we don't want to use up our time on them right now.
My WON'T DO tasks include things like extra committee involvement and meetings for activities I'm not super excited about. Also, pretty much anything that requires me to be gone in the evenings or go out of town is on my WON'T DO list for now.
I have a feeling that as my children get older, some of these things will make their way back up to my COULD DO and SHOULD DO lists, but for now, I try not to feel bad saying no to these opportunities because I know it's not the right timing for me.
After reading this, it might sound like I spend all day simply contemplating how I'm going to use my time or what category my tasks would fall under. However, I can assure you that my mental lists require very little thought or energy now that I've developed the habit of actually thinking about how I spend my time.
And honestly, I think that's the most important point of this whole post.
In order to improve our time management, you need to start thinking about how YOU spend YOUR time.
It's so easy to say "yes" to every opportunity that comes our way, and before we know it, we're overworked, over-committed, over-tired, and ready to quit everything.
However, by taking a few seconds to think through the tasks and activities we have on our to-do list and mentally categorize them, we can then prioritize our to-dos, say "yes" when we have time, say "no" when we don't, and (hopefully) make the time for the things that are most important to us right now.
As you enter into a very busy and full time of year, try to think through your days and weeks in terms of "must do", "should do", "could do", "would like to do", and "won't do". I have a feeling it will make your time management decisions seem less overwhelming!
This very simple time-management system has worked extremely well for me over the years.
I hope it helps some of you as well!
Andrea – is there anyway you can email me this in a Word format? We are doing The Best Yes bible study by Lysa TerKuerst and I'd love to share your ideas. Thank you!!
you can actually just click on either the "Print" or "Email" link in the top right corner of the post (right about the yellow clock photo) and that should do the trick.
Otherwise, you can copy and paste it into a Word document.
Hi Andrea. I am always impressed on how organized you are. But now with a newborn I am extremely impressed. How can you manage your activities with the baby? I have a 1 month old and 4 years old and I don't even now where to start. I am exhausted all the time and overwelmend.
Start with grace. You have a new baby and a healing body. At your point I would choose 1 or 2 small things. When my babies were new, I even started doing smaller loads of laundry because folding and putting them away was less overwhelming and quicker (think toddler loving to spread clean laundry all over.) 🙂 I also made a top 5 and then chose 2 that must be done, with a new one. You will get caught up, it just takes time.
Speaking of toddlers and laundry… I taught mine to give the laundry a pat pat. He thinks he's helping and the piles mostly stay in place!
I have one little question I as myself. After I get those must do things done (make beds start laundry figure out what is for dinner and clean up the daily detritus) which I have on a list that acts like an unpleasant boss nagging me, I think about what to do next and I ask myself, what will happen if I postpone this. Like you know you should get gas before groceries and if you don't it'll have to be squeezed in on the next outing and you will forget right up till its time to leave for something only to discover there is no time left.
What if I postpone washing the drapes? Absolutely nothing.
Walking the dog early? Having to do it when it's 90 out.
I trained myself to think in terms of rewards and consequences. Like you are saying, if it is something that gives you joy say yes but if not, feel free to decline. And if the something is a task like picking up the dry cleaning, chances are, if postponed husband will need a certain garment the next day, or the karate moms will have taken up the entire parking lot and the cleaners will be a 1/4 mile walk with very heavy stuff. Or it may not be raining now but could be if I put this off.
So for those annoying jobs that cannot be shuffled off into "whenever land" I put them on the calendar on my iPhone reminders app as a repeating appt. Takes the decision making out of equation.
I love how the reminders app lets you prioritize and slide things up and down.
My one off list is called Immediate Action and I try to keep it to 5 things. The rest of the to do stuff must be done daily so it is just an automatic routine. Done 7 days a week. No brain needed. That's always good, making beds on auto pilot right? I do my best thinking in the shower, while mopping or making up beds with clean linen.
Using my phone instead of pen and paper has a lot of advantages. The stuff is typed and looks more bossy plus I can stick it in my pocket.
this is great Liane. Thanks for sharing what works for you!
I don't seem to manage my time very well and I recently heard about block scheduling, so I've loosely been trying it. It seems to really help me.
yes, I've used that system successfully at times in my life — glad the block scheduling is working for you!
I really like this post, and how you break up things in your mind. It really spoke to me. With my first baby on the way, I've been a little overwhelmed with how to prioritize things and where to spend my time. I've now been starting to create mental – and sometimes written – lists of different things that need/should/want to get done. Very timely post for my life! Thank you!
I like to use a legal pad and list all the things I need to accomplish for the week. Then I mark them off as I get them done. The list includes the must do, should do, and could do type of things. I don't number them or list them with A, B, C for priority as I have read in some time management books. I can see which ones are the must do for the week. I make every effort to wipe out the whole list, but it doesn't bother me to bring forward some of the should dos and could dos to the next week. This summer has been filled with so many must do type of things that I am taking off today and doing as little as possible.
Really love your should do, could do, would like to do, won't do. I feel like that is the way I prioritize too, just not in those exact words. 🙂 I try to get a mixture of the first three (should, could and would do) in each day to keep it balanced, although some days it is primarily the should do when my children or I am not feeling well.
