Global Cybersecurity Leader Raytheon|Websense Taps DWA As Media Agency for Forcepoint Brand Launch
DWA Responsible for Global Media in Launch of New Technology Brand Forcepoint
Feb 25, 2016, 08:00 ET from DWA
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 25, 2016 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- DWA, the leading global media agency specializing in the technology sector, today announced that global cybersecurity leader Raytheon|Websense has chosen DWA as their global media agency to power their brand launch under the new name Forcepoint.
To spearhead the brand launch, Forcepoint chose media agency DWA and creative agency Landor, after a thorough search. DWA was chosen to lead communication of the new tech brand to the market via emerging and traditional media methods. DWA is responsible for both the campaign's media strategy and execution.
The media campaign created by DWA uses data to weave together a powerful experience for Forcepoint's audience across screens and channels including display, content, email, print, radio and search, as well as out-of-home and geo-targeted mobile, to engage always-on-the-go technology buyers. The campaign launched on January 14th and initial results have exceeded best-in-class metrics.
"We're thrilled to help communicate to the world the value of a great technology brand like Forcepoint, who's changing the face of cyber security," said Bob Ray, President Americas, at DWA. "With 20 years experience as the only advertising agency exclusively focused on technology companies, we pride ourselves on applying our tech experience to campaigns and delivering measurable results."
On the creative front, Landor developed a world-class brand strategy and materials that showcase Forcepoint as a leader in its field for its ability to constantly adapt to evolving cybersecurity threats and aggressively meet those challenges head-on. In a separate press announcement, Landor details their development of collateral template designs, a business system, signage system, experience and environmental designs, brand launch video, and brand guidelines showcasing a vibrant and bold color palette and an overall style that conveys action, intelligence, and a heroic brand statement.
"A great message needs an audience. DWA's world-class integrated media strategies and programs ensure that we are reaching our audience and making a strong impact where it counts," said Neville Letzerich, CMO of Forcepoint. "To launch and grow our brand, we need a company that understands our technology-buying audience and who can leverage both emerging and traditional advertising - and DWA gives us that in spades."
Forcepoint is a combination of Websense, Raytheon Cyber Products and recently acquired Stonesoft—a next-generation firewall business. The name Forcepoint was inspired by the company's solid background in cybersecurity and financial strength, along with its unyielding quest to develop innovative solutions for identifying risk. Forcepoint was created to empower organizations to drive their business forward by safely embracing transformative technologies such as the cloud, mobility, and the Internet of Things (IOT).
The new brand will provide a unified, cloud-centric platform, which eliminates the inefficiencies that come from managing numerous security products. The solution will defend against attacks, detect suspicious activity sooner and give the context needed to decide what actions to take to defeat attacks and stop data theft.

The Artnap Project
`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
So, although my father often wanders around the house reciting bits of the Jabberwocky, and although I'm mildly obsessed with other works of Lewis Carroll, this opening gambit pretty much shut my brain down, and I never really took to the Jabberwocky as anything more than the fantastic sound it makes when bellowed aloud. Then I came across this word in The Daily Figaro: Portmanteau.
"Originally, a portmanteau carried a nobleman's luggage. Later the word referred to a bag slung onto a horse, which evolved into a suitcase that opens like a book. Then Lewis Carroll analogized it. In Through the Looking-Glass, Humpty Dumpty explains that slithy combines lithe and slimy, mimsy hybridizes miserable and flimsy, and so on. 'You see it's like a portmanteau — there are two meanings packed up into one word.""
Carroll explained it a bit more in his own introduction to The Hunting of the Snark:
"Humpty Dumpty's theory, of two meanings packed into one word like a portmanteau, seems to me the right explanation for all. For instance, take the two words "fuming" and "furious". Make up your mind that you will say both words, but leave it unsettled which you will say first … if you have the rarest of gifts, a perfectly balanced mind, you will say "frumious"."
There are plenty of portmanteaus in everyday speech, like smog: a mix of smoke and fog. Or motel: motor and hotel. Or brunch: breakfast and lunch. Everyone remembers "Brangelina?"
A more interesting one is "flabbergast," the history of which I found on http://www.word-detective.com/
"Dating to the 18th century and most likely a combination of "flabby" or "flap" and "aghast," the logic underlying "flabbergast," meaning "extremely frightened or surprised," is a bit obscure. My guess is that "flabbergast" was originally intended to conjure up visions of someone so terrified or astonished that they trembled like a bowl of Jell-O. "Flabby," incidentally, is closely related to the old word "flappy" — to say someone is flabby is to say that they "flap" when they move, which is enough to send anyone to the gym."
Vesna and I have been on a vocabulary binge, lately, for a project I won't go into here, and one of the products of it is the following portmanteau:
Artnapping: Art + nap (sleep) + nap (nab/ kidnap). She is in the process of writing a story, of which some elements are "spotlit" here. There is, of course, a detective—but with his trusty phonograph, a much more useful tool than the usual detective carries. And there is, of course, a cat—securing the perimeter, already fully aware of the scallywag who tries to breach it….
After some consideration, I decided the painting would be of a different scene. I tried out various ideas, using some maquettes.
Painting on its way!

Dwindling petroleum supplies and growing environmental concerns are significantly impacting the cost of petro-fuel and its infrastructure. The search for alternative fuel sources has led to ethanol, a gasoline substitute that is already in the marketplace as Gasohol and E-85. But large-scale production of corn-based ethanol is controversial as it threatens the world's food supply. There are alternatives, however: Brazil uses sugar cane, which is up to six times more productive in energy conversion.
After the energy crisis of the 1970s, there was a lot of misinformation about the cost of individual ethanol production. In order to achieve energy independence from gasoline, ethanol lends itself to small-scale production, and especially to cooperative ventures in rural communities, often using 'waste' feedstock.
Alcohol Fuel is a practical, grass-roots book that will give readers all the information they need, covering every aspect of making and using ethanol for fuel, including:
The practical, user-friendly information on basic equipment needs, fermentation recipes and distillation designs will be of interest to readers looking for information as well as those ready to make the switch.

Inside, you'll find step-by-step instructions accompanied by helpful illustrations for such projects as building and properly using a homemade biodiesel reactor, which enables you to drive your car on vegetable oil purchased at a fraction of the price of gas (or even on free, secondhand oil obtained from restaurants). Run Your Diesel Vehicle on Biofuels also includes a list of international parts suppliers and various manufacturers' warranty statuses regarding vehicles converted to biodiesel.

072 VIRGINBLUE TEXT SPECIFIC SUCCESS_ :: ANTARCTICA: THE GLOBAL WARNING By Sebastian Copeland (The Five Mile Press, RRP $75) In 1990, it took polar adventurer Will Steger one month to cross Antarctica's imposing Larsen Ice Shelf. Over the past five years, the floating ice shelf has lost more than half its mass – or 720 billion tonnes of ice – meaning a similar journey today would take less than a fortnight. The detrimental effects of climate change are at their most evident in Antarctica. Despite the recent loss of ice mass, an incredible 90 per cent of the world's fresh water is still locked away in the continent's glaciers – a vast frozen dam that, as polar melting continues, has the potential to raise ocean levels by up to 60 metres and displace up to 80 per cent of the planet's population before your great- grandchildren are out of nappies. So it's just as well photographer Copeland has captured this vanishing treasure in haunting images that serve as a great conversation starter. ABOUT THE AUTHOR An award-winning photographer, Copeland also serves on the board of directors of Global Green USA – an environmental organisation committed to slowing global climate change. Noted for his celebrity portraiture, he left behind a successful career as a television commercial director to embrace his dual passions of photography and the environment. THE PROS The stunning imagery is accompanied by insightful perspectives from politicians, celebrities and scientists including Mikhail Gorbachev, Leonardo DiCaprio and Dr Stephen Schneider. THE CONS While there are some strong climate change arguments included in the book, photo captions may have helped provide a greater context for many of Copeland's beautiful images. STORY SHORT THE :: HOW TO REDUCE YOUR CARBON FOOTPRINT by Joanna Yarrow (Duncan Baird Publishers, RRP $14.95) It may seem like a riddle without a solution, but the battle against climate change starts at home. Printed on recycled paper with vegetable-based ink, this is a guide to making small lifestyle changes that will save the planet. :: THE GOOD GIVING GUIDE by Lyn Amy & Mary Pearce (Penguin, RRP $26.95) While 87 per cent of Australians gave to charity in 2005, the majority of us had to be asked first. Consider this your official written invitation to a life of quiet philanthropy, complete with fascinating insights into the lives of those most in need. :: CLIMATE CHANGE: WHAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT by Paul Holper & Simon Torok (CSIRO Publishing/ Pan Macmillan, RRP $29.95) More than 10 years after Kyoto, the wheels of change are starting to gather momentum. Here, Holper and Torok set out the environmental cost of our consumption and explain what we can do keep those wheels turning. TEXT :: SHANE CONROY MELTDOWN THE FINAL IF THERE'S ANY DOUBT THAT CLIMATE CHANGE IS REAL, JUST LOOK AT THE CHANGING – AND MELTING – LANDSCAPE OF ANTARCTICA.

Michigan GOP Primary
February 28, 2012 by staff
Michigan GOP Primary, Here's what Michigan Republicans are hearing over and over as they prepare to vote Tuesday in the state's crucial GOP presidential primary: Mitt Romney's an elitist insider who loves Wall Street. Rick Santorum is a fake who talks one way but voted another.
The candidate-bashing by the rival campaigns and their allies has been relentless, as the race between Romney, a former Massachusetts governor, and Santorum, a former U.S. senator from Pennsylvania, remains too close to call.
"It's going to be a real nail-biter," said Bill Ballenger, the editor of Inside Michigan Politics, a nonpartisan newsletter.
Romney has a 1.5 percentage-point lead in an average of surveys conducted Sunday, according to the website RealClearPolitics. Arizona also holds a primary Tuesday, and Romney has a comfortable lead in polls there.
But Michigan is the pivotal battleground. Romney, who grew up in the Detroit area, has touted himself as a hometown candidate. He's been trying hard, through advertising and stump speeches, to define Santorum as unfaithful to his core principles.
But it's not clear that his negative, scorched-earth strategy, which played a big role in toppling Newt Gingrich, a former speaker of the House of Representatives, in Florida's primary Jan. 31, is working in Michigan.
Santorum has gained a following with his strong conservative social-values message and down-to-earth style. In a state where the December unemployment rate was 9.3 percent and the auto industry has been ailing for decades, Santorum gets cheers by branding Romney as an out-of-touch patrician.
Everyone is going negative.
Texas U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, who's been waging a spirited campaign in Michigan in recent days but is running third in polls, has an ad that tars Santorum as a "fake" fiscal conservative.
"Is this dude serious?" a narrator asks. "Fiscal conservative? Really?"
Romney and his backers push the same theme. Restore Our Future, a group formed by his wealthy donors, is running a spot that ends by calling Santorum a big-spending Washington insider.
Its evidence: five Santorum votes to raise the debt ceiling. Support of budget legislation that included family-planning funds and earmarks, which are local projects that lawmakers insert into spending bills. Santorum has said that such projects are vital to his state, but tea party activists abhor them as evidence of out-of-control spending.
Santorum has had help making his case this week, from supporters in the Red White and Blue political action committee – and President Barack Obama's campaign.
Santorum is running ads with a reminder, "Romney adviser admits Romneycare was blueprint for Obamacare." In his speeches, Santorum blasts Romney as an elitist who used to be a moderate.

Salute 2015 is the biggest independent one-day wargaming and gaming event in the UK. It took place this past weekend and Beasts of War, the popular wargaming portal, was there with their impressive Battle of Hoth gaming table. They even ran a contest to create a set of rules for the game and the winner, Grant Ennis, was sent to Salute to run it.
The massive table top scene is completely modular since it needed to travel from Ireland to London. The structure is made from mat board and carved Styrofoam for easy assembly. And the figures and terrain consist of a variety of gaming minis, Star Wars toys, and terrain pieces from other gaming systems.
The details are unbelievable. Check out more views and a video after the break.
