WASHINGTON, June 21, 2015 — Most of America's economic problems can be directly traced to President Obama's policies, which have directly resulted in a prolonged period of virtual economic stagnation characterized by economic growth rates barely above normal population growth rates. This is the stark reality of Obama's "lack of opportunity" economy.
When Obama was sworn into office as president, the economy was in the midst of a deep recession. Economists have strong ideas about how to minimize both the depth and the length of recessions, although they often disagree about specifics. They will agree, though, that it is essential for policy makers to set economic growth as the nation's top policy priority.
Because Obama's primary concerns were to provide benefits to the bottom 15 percent of the population, correct perceived social injustices, and to fix some environmental problems, in the last 6 ½ years he has done little to stimulate economic growth, resulting in our current lack of opportunity economy.
Economists had advised him that to minimize both the depth and length of the recession, all actions taken in the short term should be geared toward economic growth. For their part, the Federal Reserve vastly increased the money supply and dramatically reduced interest rates. This should have created a large increase in demand, which would have stimulated growth.
But Obama insisted that Congress correct a perceived social injustice by passing laws to reduce predatory lending. Unfortunately, the resulting Dodd-Frank bill reduced all lending. Because monetary expansion depends on banks lending money, the Fed's move to increase the money supply provided little economic stimulation, little growth and little opportunity as a result.
Economists advised Obama that he could also stimulate demand by cutting taxes, increasing government spending, or both. But Obama believed that Federal taxes were already too low, so he held the income tax rate constant except for top income earners: those who contribute the most to economic growth. He raised their marginal tax rate by 10 percent.
Further, since his top priority was to provide benefits to the poorest 15 percent of the population, he then raised a taxes on everyone else to help fund his health care bill.
Lost on Obama was this simple fact: raising taxes has the opposite economic effect as cutting them. It reduces demand.
Obama liked the idea of increasing government spending to stimulate demand. He increased benefits to the bottom 15 percent by providing hundreds of billions of dollars for extended unemployment benefits, food stamps, welfare payments and health care. These spending increases did little to stimulate demand.
Obama spent government money on projects he deemed of social benefit, like solar panel companies and alternative energy startups. Unfortunately, few Americans wanted or could even afford those products. A number of such taxpayer-subsidized companies folded without making a single contribution to to the nation's economic growth and without creating the new opportunities Obama had promised.
Making matters worse, Obama created conditions that made it difficult for business to respond to increases in demand, essentially nullifying the multiplying effect that demand growth should have on overall economic growth. He did this by imposing burdensome and costly regulations on numerous industries without regard to cost or to their effect on a company's bottom line. His single-minded focus on the environment, rather than on economic growth in the short term, severely restricted businesses' ability to expand and provide jobs.
Under his new healthcare law, Obama required virtually all businesses to provide health insurance for all of their full-time employees or eventually pay a fine of $3,000 per employee per year. His healthcare law also stated that a full-time employee was any worker who worked at least 30 hours per week, even though the national industry standard has long been 40 hours per week.
Businesses responded by substituting part-time workers (less than 30 hours per week) and capital for full-time workers. They began to hire a historically disproportionate number of part-time workers who worked less than 30 hours per week. This destroyed opportunity for many hard-working American workers who needed genuinely full-time jobs to make ends meet.
Expanding by using capital goods instead of workers also became difficult for businesses, since businesses' supply of capital was reduced. Obama had raised businesses' marginal tax rate to almost 40 percent. He also increased the marginal tax rate on capital gains from 15 to 23.8 percent. This created a capital shortage for small business, which historically have created the majority of new U.S. jobs.
Obama's little-growth economy has wiped out opportunity, causing most of our economic problems, exacerbating many of our social problems, and causing a general feeling of helplessness and despair for many Americans. Instead of these current trends, this country need opportunity from an economy that should supply good, full-time jobs and higher wages.
But instead, Obama continues to concentrate on correcting perceived social injustices, solving alleged environmental problems by issuing additional growth-slowing executive orders and providing free benefits to the bottom 15 percent of the population, causing them to become dependent on the government for individual lifetimes and even generations to come.
It's high time to turn "lack of opportunity" back into the "land of opportunity."

One of Austria's leading commercial and investment banks has opted for BearingPoint's software solution to meet the MiFID II/MIFIR, EMIR II, MMSR and SFTR reporting requirements
Management and technology consultancy BearingPoint announced that Raiffeisen Bank International (RBI) has decided on its ABACUS/Transactions software solution to fulfil several transaction-based reporting requirements. With ABACUS/Transactions, RBI will submit the daily reports according to the revised Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID II) and the accompanying Markets in Financial Instruments Regulation (MiFIR). BearingPoint, one of the leading providers of Regulatory and Risk Technology (RegTech/RiskTech), also offers the option to meet the reporting obligations under the ECB's Money Market Statistical Reporting (MMSR), the revised European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR) as well as the Securities Financing Transactions Regulation (SFTR) with ABACUS/Transactions.
"As an important player in the financial market, we need to meet the whole range of transaction-based reporting requirements. With ABACUS/Transactions, we have found a software which can be used for various reporting types. This is time-saving, cost-effective, and will make our work much easier in the future, since we have to prepare and deliver the data only once," says Fariborz Nourani, Head of Division Head Office Operations at RBI.
"We are proud that one of Austria's leading commercial and investment banks has opted for ABACUS/Transactions. Regulatory requirements for banks are constantly changing, and when coupled with the growing complexity of financial products, our software solution helps customers successfully master these challenges. With the RBI project, we continue to drive our international growth strategy," says Robert Bosch, Partner at BearingPoint.
ABACUS/Transactions is an established standard software solution for transaction-based reporting. The product offers synergies by using one software solution consisting of several modules to support different types of transaction-based reporting. The layer structure gives the customer the flexibility to use the modules individually or in combination with other ABACUS/Transactions modules. The product is based on the proven Abacus platform, which has been successfully used for a wide range of regulatory reports for many years.

The makeup world can be a confusing one, when new trends flood the limelight and previous cult products fade back into the shadows. But BB and CC creams are here to stay - so what is the difference? And where does foundation fit into all of this? And what about tinted moisturisers?!
BB (beauty balm) creams and CC (colour correcting) creams are quite alike, but have subtle differences.
A BB Cream is like a light foundation, with skincare benefits - think ingredients like Prickly Pear, Pomegranate, Avocado and Jojoba Oils to moisturise and hydrate skin. If you've got oilier skin, you may be able to get away without a moisturiser when you use a BB cream, but most skin types would still moisturise as well.
A CC Cream has been designed to help correct skin issues, such as sallowness or redness, and will often contain light diffusing particles to help with this. It also tends to offer a little less coverage than foundation.
Tinted moisturisers contain more hydrating skincare ingredients than a foundation and have less colour, so they are a great everyday option if your skin doesn't have much discolouration or you don't want much coverage. A tinted moisturiser will also generally offer less coverage than a BB or CC Cream.
Foundation will always provide the most coverage; especially if you are using a loose mineral powder, which is highly pigmented and easy to build layers of coverage where desired.

As strange as it may seem ethics and the economy have something in common, besides starting with the letter e. They are both ways of understanding a certain aspect of society, some part of its functioning, and its relation to individuals. Economics describes how wealth is created and distributed within a society, and thus it describes some of the macroscopic patterns that structure society, and thus that structure the individuals that make up society. Similarly ethics describes another fact about society, in this case the rules that govern how an individual is related to other individuals. Or, in other words, how an individual is related to society.
Of course ethics and economics aren't the only ideas that we use to understand society. But to try to understand society as a whole by understanding these pieces is methodologically backwards. To try to manufacture an understanding of society from our ideas about certain parts of it is a recipe for error. Our concepts may be confused, ambiguous, or mistaken, and putting them together isn't going to fix these problems. Instead we need to take a top-down approach. First we try to understand why society exists, what its point is. Then, with that knowledge, we can understand what society must do in order to accomplish that purpose. I will call the things society must do to fulfill its purpose its functions, with the understanding that society will have more than one function, in this sense. Each of these functions will correspond to one of the concepts we use to understand society, like economics and ethics. And, by understanding the role each them plays in furthering society's purpose, we can improve our understanding of them, and, more importantly, have a better understanding of what the best implementation of each of these functions might be.
So why do societies exist? When you think about it the answer is relatively obvious: societies exist because they benefit the individuals that constitute them. If society didn't benefit its members then societies wouldn't have formed in the first place, we would have remained a primitive people forever. Of course then need to understand how people are benefited by society, because obviously the details will be relevant in determining society's functions. There are certain needs, shared by all people, such as food, water, and shelter that society can aid in fulfilling, and thus society might be beneficial by meeting these needs. But people can satisfy these needs on their own, so society must do something more as well. This something more is, I think, satisfying peoples' other desires; although you can survive on your own you won't have the resources to do much of anything else but survive. But, unlike basic needs, the desires of people are not uniform; different people desire different things. Thus the purpose of society can't be to deliver some specific good or service to people, but rather to give them the ability to satisfy their desires, whatever those may be.
This is an idea I have discussed before, so I won't go into any more detail. Instead let me address the question of what society must do in order to benefit people in this way. But before I start listing the functions of society let me first mention that there are two kinds of functions: those that directly aid people in fulfilling their desires (the primary functions) and those that exist to maintain society (the support functions). There are only two primary functions of society: to give people opportunities and to make people wealthy. Here I am using wealth in the sense meant by ecumenicists, which corresponds roughly to personal power and not to the monetary value of our assets. For example, if every computer was to suddenly double in speed (magically) we would have all become wealthier, in this sense, even though our assets would have the same value (since all computers doubled in speed they would retain the same market price). I don't mean anything special by my use of the word opportunities; to have more opportunities is to have more options as to how you can spend your time. We can get more opportunities by being wealthier (I have more opportunities than people in the 1900s because I can fly to anywhere on the globe while they could not), by being constrained less by society (being restricted by only as many laws as is absolutely necessary), and by being able to spend more of our time as we wish without diminishing our wealth to the point where we can't pursue the opportunities that we want. The concepts that correspond most closely to these two primary functions are economics and liberty. The ways in which society increases our wealth we describe as economic facts, and the ways in which society increases our opportunities we describe as liberties,
Although there are only two primary functions for society there are many more supporting functions; I'll just cover the most important ones here. For a society to even exist individuals must work as a group; a bunch of people who are related to each other simply by living in the same area do not constitute a society. A society exists because the people who compose it act as if it exists, which means following the rules, acting for the good of the whole, etc. A society must also be able to resolve internal conflicts, to create and sustain some kind of harmony within itself, otherwise no matter how well intentioned the individuals making it up are society will come flying apart. And finally society must have the ability to coordinate its members for certain projects, since even well-intentioned individuals who are able to get along won't spontaneously organize themselves. These three functions correspond to ethics, justice, and law/politics. I say the first supporting function corresponds to ethics primarily because of the analysis of ethics that I have given elsewhere; I describe as ethical those actions that are in the best interest of society as a whole. And the process by which the members of society are coordinated seems natural to describe as politics or law. The most questionable description here is probably my claim that justice is that which promotes harmony in society. In this modern day and age we have very strong intuitions to the effect that justice involves equality of some kind. Of course given our modern attitudes equality is what creates harmony; people are unhappy when they perceive their treatment as unequal. Since the matter is partly a question of what we choose to call things there is nothing I can say to definitively show that we must call that which promotes harmony justice. However, I can point out that equality is not needed if the individuals who make up a society are satisfied with a social order that treats some people better than others (on the basis of wealth, merit, or whatever). So if you equate justice with equality then in some societies justice may not be needed, or may even be detrimental (if harmony is better promoted by some system of inequality). And I don't think many find the conclusion that justice is superfluous acceptable. So if you think that in our society justice entails some kind of equality, and you think that justice is something that should be a part of all societies, then the only option is to accept that justice is what makes a society harmonious; but I can't say anything against a rejection of one of those premises.
As I final note I would like to mention an interesting effect that the structure of society has on itself. The point of society is to satisfy peoples' desires. But the existence of a society changes peoples' desires. It gives them new desires and motivates them to re-evaluate their previous desires. For example, any successful society does its best to give everyone the desire to be ethical. This may very well be an extra hidden condition for society's success; not only must it perform its functions well, but the culture of that society must promote the right desires, the desires that society can fulfill, desires that fit with the current principles of justice that the society has. But perhaps that is a topic for another time.
[Methodological Note: This analysis of society was initially motivated by the need for an analysis of justice. As I mentioned previously every theory, including philosophical theories, starts with ostensive definitions and then turns them into categorical ones. A theory of justice then needs to start with an ostensive understanding of justice, namely in the form: justice is the thing that …. But our intuitive understanding of justice is very closely tied with notions of equality, and we can't develop a satisfactory theory of justice in general that begins with an understanding of justice as some kind of equality. Thus I was led to question what the purpose of justice was, how it fit into society, which led me to the above analysis of society in general. I am satisfied with the understanding of justice that fell out; the work of many other philosophers can be seen as approximating this understanding of justice. For example, Rawls understood a just society as one that everyone would agree upon from behind the veil of ignorance. He saw this as just because to him it seemed to guarantee some form of equality. However, developing the structure of society from behind the veil of ignorance can be also seen to be guaranteeing harmony, because you are trying to structure society so that everyone is satisfied with their place in it. And that only requires equality if the people who will find themselves in that society value equality.]

This looks like a fantastic novel. The book cover really captures the eye and the beholders imagination. This has been added to my #mustread list. I feel it could be worth taking a closer look.
Marie Reinhart is an NYPD detective on the trail of a serial killer. When she sleeps, though, she dreams of other lives; she dreams of being a knight, in strange wars and strange worlds. On the other side of the city, Nessa Roth is a college professor trapped in a loveless marriage, an unwilling prop in a political dynasty. She's also a fledgling witch, weaving poppets and tiny spells behind closed doors.
When Marie's case draws her into Nessa's path, sparks fly. What comes next is more than a furtive whirlwind affair; it's the first pebbles of an avalanche. Nessa and Marie are the victims of a curse that has pursued them across countless lifetimes; a doom designed to trap them in a twisted living fairy tale, with their romance fated to end in misery and death.
They aren't going out without a fight. As they race to uncover the truth, forces are in motion across the country. In Las Vegas, a professional thief is sent on a deadly heist. In a Detroit back alley, witches gather under the guidance of a mysterious woman in red. Just outside New York, an abandoned zoo becomes the hunting-ground for servants of a savage and alien king. The occult underground is taking sides and forming lines of battle. Time is running out, and Nessa and Marie have one chance to save themselves, break the curse, and demand justice.
This time, they're writing their own ending.

Family Dentistry
At Dr. Kurt Gibson, DDS, we pride ourselves on treating every member of the family. Family dentistry is focused on preventing potential complications, rather than treating them. If you and your family are in need of professional dental services, we can help!
The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends a routine check-up up roughly twice a year. A routine appointment with Dr. Kurt Gibson, DDS will typically include a professional cleaning and a detailed examination of your teeth, gums, and other oral tissues. We may also recommend an oral cancer screening for our older patients.
Read more about dental cleanings.
Dentistry for Kids
Professional dental care is a crucial part of your child's oral health. Be sure to schedule your child's first appointment by the time their first teeth erupt, or before their first birthday. Scheduling regular appointments allows us to monitor the development of their oral health. Developmental problems are easier to treat in the beginning stages.
As your child grows older, we can establish a strong foundation for their oral health, one that will ensure a lifetime of healthy, beautiful teeth.
Read more about the importance of dental care for your children.
Periodontal Care
Your periodontal (gum) tissues are just as important as your teeth. Periodontal disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in the United States. Periodontal disease is the result of an infection in the gum tissues, connective ligaments, and eventually the alveolar bone.
The disease is characterized by gums that are swollen, red, and tend to bleed during brushing and flossing. Luckily, periodontal disease is easy to prevent and treat if it is caught early enough. If we notice signs of advanced periodontal disease, we may recommend a scaling and root planning procedure. The goal is to return your gums to a pink, healthy state.
Read more about caring for your gums.
Types of Mouthguards
If you participate in physical activities that put you at risk for dental trauma or injury, we strongly recommend a mouthguard. A mouthguard will protect your teeth and prevent dental emergencies. If you suffer from bruxism (teeth grinding), we may also recommend a night guard. Many patients with bruxism tend to grind their teeth during sleep. A night guard acts as a barrier that prevents enamel wear.
Read more about the importance of mouthguards.
Clear Aligners
We offer clear aligners as a discrete alternative to traditional orthodontic treatments, such as braces. Aligner treatment involves a series of trays that gradually move your teeth to a more proper position. We often recommend clear aligners for adult patients who do not want their treatment to get in the way of their personal or professional life.
Read more about clear aligners.
Sleep Apnea/Oral Appliances
If you have obstructive sleep apnea, you may benefit from an oral appliance. An oral appliance will keep your jaw in the proper position during sleep. This opens your airway and improves your breathing during sleep. With an oral appliance, you may find yourself feeling more well-rested, alert and happy, thanks to a full night's sleep.

It's therapeutic to express your emotions, mood, feelings, and thoughts through drawings and journaling. I'm not sure why it's so freeing and makes me feel so happy, but it does. I love to draw girl faces, I guess because I have 3 beautiful girls that inspire me. Sometimes I break out the acrylic paints, colored pencils, watercolors, and scrapbooking embellishments, but sometimes I just make pencil sketches. Regardless, I always find it relaxing and a great way to renew my spirit.
I love keeping an art journal because it can be anything I want. It's a reflection of me on any given day.

I decided to create one Tumblr for the Systems Overload blog as well as the DC Heron Family blog. I thought that it didn't make sense to maintain two Tumblrs. While I will often have links in my posts, this allows me the opportunity to put many of this in one area where you can navigate through them quickly. I can also put links to sites that are related to posts that I have done or that I thought might be of interest to you. You can get to our Tumbr by clicking on the Links tab found near the top of our blog (I have highlighted this with a yellow box in the screenshot of our blog below).
At the bottom of the page are buttons that will allow you to go to the next page or the previous page. In this case the next page is actually items that that were posted earlier, while the previous page brings you to the items that are newer, the opposite of how previous and next work (in my mind anyways). You can also "Browse the Archive". When you open up the archive, it will show you all the pages in our Tumblr, so you can go right to the page you wish to see, bypassing the next and previous buttons. "Subscribe via RSS" allows you to subscribe to our Tumblr via RSS feeds, so you would receive an RSS feed whenever we update our Tumblr. "Powered by Tumblr" brings you to the Tumblr homepage, where you can learn more about Tumblr and even create your own if you wish.
Looking in our Tumblr archive, you'll probably notice that it was actually created in November 2007. Last weekend I finally got it into a condition that I could accept publishing. While the nature of a tumblelog is always changing, our Tumblr is a work in progress, so don't be surprised to see other changes from time to time.
We're excited about our Tumblr being up and running. We hope that you'll enjoy it.

In other words, the height of The Great Pyramid of Giza is 0.160 times 82,800 centimeters.(a.k.a. Pyramid of Khufu, a.k.a. Pyramid of Cheops) (Cairo, Egypt) (estimated original height)
The Great Pyramid of Giza has an estimated original height (without loss due to erosion) of 13,000 centimeters. The Pyramid was the tallest structure in the world for almost 4,000 years — from its construction ca. 2551 BCE until it was overtaken by the Lincoln Cathedral in Lincoln, England, built in the year 1300.
It's about one-tenth as tall as Mount Elbrus.

The highest mountain peak in North America, Denali's South Peak measures 619,300 centimeters above sea level at its peak.

According to NFL specifications, an American football field should measure 10,972.80 centimeters from end to end. Because each team's goalpost is located at the far end of the scoring area (end zone), a ball on a scoring play may need to travel as many as 914.40 centimeters farther when kicked into the scoring area than when run (rushed) or passed into it.

Invoice Factoring Calgary, Edmonton & More!
Helping Companies in Alberta Grow!
Calgary is recognized as a Canadian leader in the oil and gas industry as well as for being a leader in economic expansion. Its high personal income, low unemployment and high GDP per capita have all benefited from increased sales and prices due to a resource boom, and increasing economic diversification. The Calgary Edmonton Corridor, is also one of the fastest growing regions in the country. It is the head office for many major oil related companies, and many financial service businesses have grown up around them. Small business and self-employment levels also rank amongst the highest in Alberta. It is also a major distribution and transportation hub with high retail sales. Many of these growing businesses need assistance when it comes to cash flow and cash flow planning and that's where Express Business Funding can help!
Edmonton is the major economic center for northern and central Alberta and a major center for the oil and gas industry. Edmonton traditionally has been a hub for petrochemical industries. Supply and service industries drive the energy extraction engine, while research develops new technologies and supports expanded value-added processing of the massive oil, gas, and oil sands reserves. Despite the apparent focus on oil and gas, Edmonton's economy is one of the most diverse in Canada. Popular within this industry is the use of invoice factoring companies in Alberta. Express Business Funding is a Canadian business finance company who has had a presence in Alberta for over 13 years.
What is Invoice Factoring?
Invoice factoring services are the process in which a firm sells an invoice which is due to them in the future to a vendor, who pays them money for that bill today. The process is similar to a cash advance; it is designed to assist new or growing businesses create predictable cash flow.
Here is how it works. Let' assume you own a temporary staffing company which has provided $50,000 of staffing services to XYZ Manufacturing. The payment term for this $50,000 invoice is net 45 days, meaning XYZ Manufacturing has 45 days from the date the invoice is issued, to pay the full bill amount.
It is now your busiest time of year and you are growing rapidly. You are short on the cash needed to pay your growing number employees and just can't wait 45 days (or potentially longer) to receive the money from XYZ Manufacturing. If you were to work with a factoring company in Calgary, they will purchase the bill the day it is created and advance you the money you need now. The vendor would advance you (for example) 80% of the invoice now. You can use those funds to pay your employees and cover off other obligations. When XYZ Manufacturing pay the bill in full, the vendor remits to you the 20% balance (minus the fee earned for providing the service). In return for the initial advanced payment you assign the bill and debt owed by XYZ Manufacturing to the factor.

When you choose to work with a trusted and innovative invoice factoring company in Alberta, such as Express Business Funding, your business receives numerous benefits focused on helping you grow your business.

Victoria Real Estate Market at a Standoff as Prices Remain Steady
Posted by Ron Neal on Wednesday, October 3rd, 2012 at 12:25pm.
Ron's candid thoughts on today's market in Victoria: Following is our Victoria Real Estate Board News Release which in my opinion gives a sugar coated outlook of reality. The market is anything but steady with sales numbers down significantly and prices too, driven down buy distressed sellers competing for the few predatory buyers who are seizing the opportunity. Statistics are misleading and the 64 average days on market does not include the prior listings of the same properties or those that have not sold. By my estimate the average days on market is closer to 180 days including just the successful sales. Furthermore, the average sale price reported as 96% of list is based on the final listing price, not reflecting the original price or prior listing attempts. My quick review of the numbers shows more like a 85% of list price on average based on the original asking price. This is NOT all doom and gloom though. It is an excellent time to buy, especially to trade up! For a personal consultation of your options in this market please call today! Victoria Real Estate Market at a Standoff as Prices Remain Steady October 1, 2012 VICTORIA BC - REALTORS® across Vancouver Island are experiencing a "wait and see" attitude amongst buyers and sellers alike. The result? Prices remain steady but sales numbers are down in some categories. Total MLS® residential sales for September 2012 were 400 compared to 435 in September 2011. During the month, 216 single family homes sold throughout the Victoria Real Estate Board's region, just 28 fewer than the 244 sold in September 2011. The average price for single family homes sold in Greater Victoria last month was $589,361, down from September 2011's average of $622,393. The median price is down by $16,500 to $517,500 over September 2011. There are 5,025 active listings. "We are at a bit of a standoff in the Greater Victoria real estate market," says Carol Crabb, President of the Victoria Real Estate Board. "Buyers are waiting for prices to go down, but there are no economic indicators to show that will happen. Sellers are pricing their properties reasonably for the current market, which is reflected by the fact that single family homes are selling for an average 96% of list price and the average days on market remains 64. "The median price of a single family home is only 1.5% lower than last year and that number has held steady for the last five months," Crabb says. "Interest rates are also holding, but should they increase by as little as 1%, that would negate a 10% drop in purchase price. People shouldn't wait for prices to drop, because we never know when interest rates will be increased to stimulate the economy." Condominium and manufactured home sales are virtually unchanged over September 2011 (approximately 1% each), while townhomes sales have declined 10%. Total Waterfront Single Family Dwellings sold: 18, up 7 sales from 2011 Total Non-waterfront Single Family Dwellings sold: 198, down 35 sales from Sept 2011 Single Family Dwellings sold over $1 million: 14 (0 over $2 million) Stats quick reference

How Workplace Violence Policies Can Be the Foundation for Insider Threat Programs
In the last 10 years as the Senior Vice President of Threat + Violence Risk Management at Hillard Heintze, as well as during my prior career as the Special Agent in Charge of the U.S. Secret Service National Threat Assessment Center, I have become increasingly aware that insider threat and workplace violence concerns and prevention strategies are similar in many ways.
We are now receiving clear guidance from experts and the U.S. government on how to combine insider threats and workplace violence into a cohesive prevention strategy in public and private sectors. In addition to recognizing that both categories have their own consequences and warning signs, we need to remain aware of the financial and emotional impact these incidents have on our society.
What Are the Definitions?
Targeted violence in the workplace is defined as "any incident of violence where a known or knowable attacker selects a particular target prior to their violent attack."[1] As stated by the Combined Defense Services, an insider threat "is someone who will use their authorized access, wittingly or unwittingly, to do harm through espionage, terrorism, unauthorized disclosure of information or through the loss or degradation of resources or capabilities."
What's the Damage from an Insider Threat?
Workplace violence is often extremely visible and tangible; when we watch the news and see overhead footage of the aftermath of an active shooter in a corporate building, we are witness to the irrevocable damage to the victims and their families. Insider threats, while still promising great harm, are often invisible to innocent passerby and include actions that can be as quiet and solitary as sending an email. For this reason, insider threats may not immediately come to mind when developing security prevention methodology.
However, several years ago we collectively witnessed an exception. In 2013, a National Security Agency (NSA) contractor, Booz Allen Hamilton, hired Eric Snowden after his previous employment with Dell and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Later that year on May 20, 2013, Snowden flew to Hong Kong after leaving his job at an NSA facility in Hawaii and in early June he revealed thousands of classified NSA documents to select journalists. Snowden came to international attention after stories based on the material appeared in The Guardian and The Washington Post. Further disclosures were made by other publications including Der Spiegel and The New York Times. These disclosures revealed numerous global surveillance programs, many run by the NSA with the cooperation of telecommunication companies and European governments.
The damage Mr. Snowden caused by divulging these documents was clearly detrimental to the security of the United States. In June 2014, the NSA's recently installed director, U.S. Navy Admiral Michael S. Rogers, said some terrorist groups altered their communications to avoid surveillance techniques in response to the leak and described how this had a material impact on the NSA's detection and evaluation of terrorist activities worldwide.
In June 2015, the United Kingdom's Sunday Times reported that Russian and Chinese intelligence services decrypted more than one million classified files in the Snowden cache, forcing the UK's MI6 intelligence agency to move agents out of live operations in hostile countries. A former director of the UK's intelligence gathering agency described it as "a huge strategic setback that was harming Britain, America, and their NATO allies." The Sunday Times said it was not clear whether Russia and China stole Snowden's data or whether Snowden voluntarily handed it over to remain at liberty in Hong Kong and Moscow.
How the Federal Government Responded
The federal government now requires companies to develop an insider threat program plan and designate a senior official in the company to endorse and oversee it. Contractors must also periodically submit self-reviews of their insider threat programs to the Defense Security Service (DSS).
More than 7,749 officials now fill this role, according to the DSS. As companies become increasingly aware of insider threat risks — and the requirements to mitigate them — we have an opportunity to discuss how to develop an effective program and how existing resources can serve as a valuable foundation.
Integrating Workplace Violence Prevention and Insider Threat Programs …
Companies that had workplace violence policies and procedures in place used that infrastructure to establish their insider threat programs. Companies that did not have workplace violence policies and procedures, but are now required to have an insider threat program, integrated a workplace violence procedure. Columnist, journalists and authors have been writing about this phenomenon, including my longtime friend and colleague Dr. Michael Gelles.
Dr. Gelles is a Managing Director with Deloitte Consulting LLP. I first met him over 20 years ago when I was with the U.S. Secret Service and he was the Chief Psychologist for the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS).I was honored to be acknowledged by Dr. Gelles in his book on insider threat entitled, Prevention, Detection, Mitigation and Deterrence, published by Butterworth-Heineman.
In the book, Dr. Gelles provides a historical review of workplace violence and how the foundations associated with workplace violence lay the groundwork for insider threat programs today. Similarities between the two serve as a strong base to develop a thorough and preventative detection program.
Building and maintaining the organizational capacity to prevent an insider threat at the corporate and local levels takes careful conceptualization, planning and oversight by experienced security professionals. Establishing an annual budget for an insider threat program is also critical to its success. Dr. Gelles' book will serve as a key component of a comprehensive prevention program for years to come.
… and How To Do It
Establishing an effective, combined workplace violence prevention and insider threat program has become a new global standard for corporations and government agencies and is required by law in some industries and countries. Such a program generally incorporates the following components, each of which must be carefully coordinated and systematically applied:
- Collection of policies
- Procedures and guidelines related to those policies
- Cross-functional, collaborative threat assessment and management efforts
- Training and awareness of policies, procedures and guidelines at all levels of the organization
Training, Training, Training
However, any newfound program, even if built on an existing one, requires intensive training to make it effective. In June, Hillard Heintze, myself included, conducted comprehensive workplace violence prevention threat management team training for clients under the umbrella of their insider threat programs.
On June 14, 2018, we instructed a major Department of Defense federal law enforcement agency at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) in Charleston, South Carolina. The insider threat program at this agency hosted their agents from all over the world for this critical course with an emphasis on preventing an incident of targeted violence. The agency, following the guidance of the Department of Defense, established their insider threat program to also include workplace violence prevention.
On June 20, 2018, we provided similar training to one of the world's largest Department of Defense contractors' threat management investigators using our behavioral simulation method. The company's insider threat program, within which its workplace violence prevention program resides, hosted the training. We redesigned our curriculum to focus on their threat case intake system by simulating a call-in scenario and threat assessment interview.
Where to Start With Workplace Violence Prevention Training
Like the threats it attempts to mitigate, workplace violence prevention and insider threat training is always evolving. For this reason, we continue to develop and train on workplace violence prevention policies and procedures. To accomplish these objectives, we believe in a phased approach to standardization.
Phase I
- Continue to build a culture that emphasizes reporting behaviors of concern and the fact that there will not be punitive consequences for reporting information, unless warranted.
- Continue to standardize workplace violence prevention processes to be adopted across the organization.
- Establish a standard process for managing orders of protection.
Phase II
- Deploy appropriate levels of training throughout the organization, including the interdisciplinary team, managers supervisors and the general workforce.
- Provide training to the interdisciplinary team on employee behaviors or situations of concern with realistic scenarios and interviewing techniques.
Incorporating workplace violence and insider threat programs as an aide to the public and private sectors is the key to investigating, evaluating and managing individuals who are a danger to our national security. In discussing the issue on Federal News Radio, subject matter experts stated:
"The newness of the [insider threat program] rule is going to be more on the human element and the internal training within the organization, the requirement for the organization to dedicate senior management resources to not only oversee the organization's implementation but then to certify, to be the person who's going to say, yes we have this process in place and this is what we are doing on a day-to-day week-to-week basis to prevent the threat and to detect the threat and then to report the threat when we find it."
Last year the Office of the Director of National Intelligence published an interesting video on insider threat. Watch how one employee struggles to deal with his stressors…and how a co-worker responds to a potential insider threat.
All of us share the task of protecting our fellow citizens as we identify, assess and manage individuals who wish us harm, either by targeted violence or insider threat. We will continue to enhance these trainings and educate the workforce. It is the key to our fellow citizen's safety and security. Combining these programs into one seamless effort is a start.

"This new technology is beginning to open the eyes of more mechanical contractors, builders, architects, designers and homeowners in the Midwest," said Gregg Turley, vice president of sales and marketing with the company.
Larson recently provided training for 500 mechanical contractors from Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Indiana, North and South Dakota and Michigan. Led by hydronic specialist Phil Hrenak, the company said it is committed to more training to support this growing technology.

I'm in a library! I'm in a library! I'm in a library! I'm in a library! I'm in a library! I'm in a library!
I'm in a library! I'm in a library! I'm in a library! I'm in a library! I'm in a library! I'm in a library!
So recently I had a nearly catastrophic computer cock-up, which coincided nicely with me taking a few days off to recharge my creative batteries. With both of those now sorted, I can finally get back to work on SNIDE.
It always feels a bit like a copout to take a few days off writing. I set myself a quota, and when I don't meet it, it does tend to feel like I'm slacking. Once I get back to work though, that notion is gone. It's hard to explain, but I can feel a change in the writing, like a great pressure has abated. Once that pressure starts building, so it feels like every word you type is being forced, that's when you know it's time to take a breather. Writing, for me, always feels a little like that anyway — usually because I get myself so caught up in jesus, I have so many words left — but when you start running dry it gets so much worse.
But now the reservoirs are full, and I can get back to it.
Also, in other news, I'm holding in my hands right now a printed copy of Lore and Order. It's the preview copy to make sure it all looks good in book form, and I am pretty happy with the result if I'm honest. Hopefully you will be too, once you can get your hands on it. I'll have more information about that in the nearish future I should think.
Finally, still planning on doing audiobooks on both Diplomancer and Lore and Order when I get a minute. Reading your own stuff aloud is quite daunting actually, especially with regards to something you wrote so long ago like Diplomancer, just need to psych myself up for that.
We all know that we're not supposed to judge a book by its cover, and we all do it anyway. And quite right too – you might not get a completely accurate impression of the book from its cover, but you get an inkling. If, say, it's done in MS Paint, you can be reasonably assured, for instance, that the author may not have taken the correct care and attention.
Whether this is true or not doesn't matter, it's the perception. This is why I like my covers to look good. I couldn't release Diplomancer without a cover that I thought stood out – which, if statements from many people are to be believed, it does – and the same is true of Lore and Order. The book is ready to go, but it needs the bow atop the package. I've got the same guy who did Diplomancer's cover working on it, and I'm excited to see what he comes up with.
So excited, in fact, that this entire blog post is really just a clandestine way of nagging him.
It's not necessarily wise to believe everything you are told on twitter, but I'm only little so I don't have to be wise. When someone says they're going to put your book in a library, you tend to believe them.
I'm not going to speak for all writers, because that would be daft, but I will say that I hold a library as more or less the ultimate form of acceptance that, yes, you are a proper writer now. I'm very much on the "libraries are good" bandwagon, as you might guess.
The news also came at the perfect time to re-motivate me to work on SNIDE. I'm writing a lot of dialogue right now, and I always find it difficult to want to do that. It is extremely important that dialogue flows well, which tends to mean lots of rewriting as I go, which I am not happy about. My preferred method is to get it all down and then rewrite it at the end.
But, well, if Diplomancer is going to be in a library, I had better get to work on more things to join it. Can't have it being all lonely on the shelf now, can we?

Labour's North East heartland will next week begin assessing a Ukip wake up call after a ballot box scare.
The UK Independence Party failed to break through in any of the region's the local elections, but managed to show it can take votes off the Labour Party even in the North East.
With the European count due to take place tomorrow night, Ukip's local results suggest the party will have an MEP by Monday morning.
The elections are the last national poll before the 2015 General Election and come after Ukip leader Nigel Farage told an audience at the Sage in Gateshead that he was determined to start taking Labour Party votes.
The party made no election gains in the five Tyne and Wear councils, but came second in the vast majority of seats contested, often while standing in seats not previously challenged by Ukip.
For Labour there were only minor gains in Newcastle, South Tyneside and North Tyneside. In Gateshead the party barely shifted, while in Sunderland Labour lost two seats, including one to a Conservative.
The Tories failed to make a breakthrough in many part of the region. The party's hopes had rested in North Tyneside, but Labour increased its number of councillors by two despite a challenge by former elected mayor Linda Arkley.
For the Liberal Democrats the election can be seen as something of a success. While there was no outright election victory, the party appears to have stopped its losses, defending most of its seats in the North East.
Last night Labour leaders said they must face up to the challenge from UKIP in the north - and win back working class voters by promising a crackdown on immigration.
Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls has said his party must respond to the threat from the maverick party in Labour's traditional heartlands.
It follows a surge in support for UKIP with the party giving Labour a shock in Sunderland, where it came second in 16 wards, although it failed to gain any seats.
Mr Balls suggested Labour should move on to Ukip's territory and take tougher approach to immigration and the EU - and attack the Government for failing to keep immigration down.
Asked for his response to Ukip's success in Sunderland and the Yorkshire town of Rotherham, where the party won ten seats, Mr Balls said: "We are actually doing better than people are expecting us to do across the southern seats but there is now a challenge for Labour in the north, especially in the areas where we are clearly the majority party or in areas where you have tight Tory/Labour fights, where the Tories have gone to Ukip.
"So we have to understand that challenge. People want to know we will have tough controls on immigration, that you're not going to be able to come here to work in our country and send benefits back to families at home, that we're going to make sure we tackle zero hours contracts and enforce the minimum wage."
Gateshead Labour MP Ian Mearns said: "I have a funny feeling though that there has been a drift from the Lib Dems towards us, and a drift from us to Ukip.
"And from my perspective, that's people telling us that it doesn't matter which policy basket is offered to them, they are not willing any more to be offered crumbs off the table."
It was a day that promised much for UKIP with rumours of winning a seat in Woolsington early on.
The party did come second in a number of seats, registering particularly highly in Walkergate with 843 votes and Benwell and Scotswood with 823, however outright victory eluded it.
In all 27 seats were up for grabs at Newcastle City Council, 16 previously held by Labour and 11 by the Lib Dems.
At the end of the count it was almost a case of "as you were" with Labour winning 17, the Lib Dems nine and Independent candidate Bill Corbett landing a spectacular success in Westerhope, taking the seat from Labour.
In some wards the Lib Dem vote collapsed but overall party leaders were visibly relieved that its support held up well compared to other parts of the country.
However its Chief Whip Tom Woodwark was the major casualty of the day when he lost out to Labour in South Jesmond.
Overall Labour won 45% of the vote, the Lib Dems 21.7%, UKIP 13.5% and the Tories 9.9%.
Labour mayor Bob Heron provided the biggest shock in Wearside, losing his seat to an Independent by just 75 votes.
Visibly upset to be ousted in the Copt Hill ward by Anthony Allen, the party stalwart said: "I expected it to be close but I didn't expect to lose."
Despite fears UKIP could woo working class parts of Sunderland, Labour maintained its grip and the anti-European party failed to capture a single seat. It did, however, win a remarkable 30% chunk of the overall vote from rival parties.
Tory stalwart Shirley Leadbitter took Labour's Steven Bonallie St Peter's seat in the sole blue gain.
Of the 25, Labour has 21 seats, the Conservatives 3 and Independent 1.
The Lib Dem vote collapsed, recording less than 100 votes in some wards.
North Tyneside
North Tyneside's former elected mayor Linda Arkley failed to make a civic comeback after losing in the Tynemouth ward to Labour's Sarah Day.
The seat was one of the most hotly contested and the Conservative candidate missed out on being elected by just 37 votes.
Current mayor Norma Redfearn said she was "overjoyed" Labour had managed to retain overall control of the council as well as gaining two additional seats in Wallsend and Chirton.
She said Labour had weathered many a protest vote in the past and were not worried about UKIP coming second in nine wards.
Their surge was down to the current Government's record on job creation and the bedroom tax, she added. UKIP gained a 20% share of the vote overall although failed to win a seat.
Party member Marianne Follin, who also stood in Tynemouth, said: "It's been said we are the fourth political party and we've proved that now."
The council is now made up of 44 Labour councillors, 12 Conservative and 4 Lib Dems.
Labour remained in control of Gateshead Council despite a strong UKIP showing.
Leader of the council, Mick Henry, thanked the public for their support to his party despite the Government cuts his borough currently faces.
He said: "Nothing has changed. Considering that we are suffering a 37% cut in the budget and we have had to take actions as a council, I am pleased that the Gateshead public have shown support for us in the circumstances."
When asked about the number of votes secured by UKIP, Mr
Henry said: "Next year will be different.
"The European elections have helped them on this occasion and we are hoping it will be different next year.
"It's the Liberal Democrats we need to worry about, and the actions of the Government."
South Tyneside
Labour retained control of South Tyneside Council as it gained one seat but lost another.
The party held 16 of the 18 contested seats and gained Fellgate and Hedworth from Ukip with a victory from Geraldine Kilgour.
Labour's Norman Dick won the seat in the West Park ward which has been vacant since the death of Labour veteran Coun Bob Watters in January.
Labour's one loss came in the Bede ward, which went to Lee Hughes, the Independent - Putting People First candidate.
The new political make-up of the council sees Labour having 49 seats, Independent one, Independent - Putting People First two, Conservative one and Ukip one.
Though it didn't make any gains on the night, Ukip did see a surge in votes and came second in 14 of the 18 seats contested.

Imam Ammar Shahin of the Islamic Center of Davis, California, drew national attention last month when he called for Jews to be annihilated during a Friday sermon. Now it has been revealed this is not the first time he has encouraged extremism.
In his speech he called on Allah to "liberate Al-Aqsa from the filth of the Jews" saying "Oh Allah, count them one by one and annihilate them down to the very last one. Do not spare any of them."
His comments sparked a wave of outrage. The CEO of the Anti-Defamation League, Jonathan Greenblatt, issued a statement condemning the sermon as "anti-Semitic and dangerous."
Local Muslim activist Shireen Qudosi launched a petition to demand Shahin be fired (sign the petition below).
His mosque initially tried to portray his comments as being taken out of context, but he was eventually forced to issue a public apology.
Qudosi rejected Shahin's apology as not good enough and is continuing to call for his departure.
The Middle East Media Research Institute, which initially publicized the translation of the incendiary parts of Shahin's sermon, has investigated further into Shahin's record as imam.
What they have found is troubling:
On July 14, Imam Shahin delivered a sermon about Jerusalem in which he said "Oh Allah, liberate the Al-Aqsa Mosque from the filth of the Jews. Oh Allah, show us the wonders of Your ability that you inflict upon them. Oh Allah, show us the black day that You inflict upon them… Oh Allah, count them one by one and destroy them down to the very last one. Do not spare any of them. Oh Allah, destroy them and do not spare their young or their elderly… Oh Allah, turn Jerusalem and Palestine into a graveyard for the Jews."
This indicates that, contrary to his apology, the sentiments expressed were not isolated in any sense and were part of his longstanding ideology.
In January 2017 Shahin hosted a talk at the Islamic Center of Davis by Sheikh Muhammad Rateb Al-Nabulsi.
However Nabulsi previously expressed support for the death penalty for homosexuality.
"Homosexuality involves a filthy place, and does not generate offspring," Nabulsi said in 2011 on Hamas TV. "Homosexuality leads to the destruction of the homosexual. That is why, brothers, homosexuality carries the death penalty."
In November 2016, Shahin delivered a sermon calling democracy idol worship.
"These things, these matters, democracy, constitution, all of these things that people make today, are like the idols that the infidels used to worship, which were made from dates," he said. "The infidels used to worship idols from dates. They'll make their own date idol that looks very nice. But when they get hungry, what would they do? They eat it. This is what happened. They eat their gods."
His past statements are in keeping with his sermon of July 21 and indicate a preacher with a longstanding commitment to extremist views.
