"Rice seed sale sprouts furor"
The sale of a top-grade rice seed to Spain has outraged the farm community and forced consideration of patents for new varieties developed by the Rice Research Station in Biggs.
Some Butte County growers affiliated with the Butte County Rice Growers Association sold approximately 50,000 hundred-weight of pure long-grain seed, or L-202, … enough to plant 25,000 to 50,000 acres. … The transaction was private and legal.
… Other growers were upset because the seed"s development was financed by the 5-cent-a-hundredweight assessment on growers to pay for research activities, primarily at the Research Station.
L-202 was developed in Biggs with varieties from Texas and the Philippines.
… If Spain successfully grows the long-grain, growers fear it will force them out of European markets and add competition to California markets.
… Howard Carnahan, retiring director of plant breeding at the Rice Station, who developed L-202, said many varieties grown in California can be traced to other countries.

"Men Students Lead Coeds 2-1 On CSC Campus"
A Chico State College admissions office study completed recently looked at who is going to the college, where they come from and what they"re after.
The study on the fall enrollment for 1962 indicates that 23 percent of regularly enrolled students were married, with married men outnumbered by married women 2-1.
Divorced women students outnumbered divorced men students by 150 percent
Of the 3,823 enrollment, just over 53 percent were men. This is in sharp contrast to the fall 1961 enrollment, when 43 percent were men.
… A total of 23 states and 15 countries are represented. There are 29 foreign students. Out-of-state students were 3 1/4 percent of the total population. …
Students planning to teach, and those planning on entering non-teaching fields are about evenly split.

RIC to LHR
AA Ref# 1-26024307730
I am writing to express my disgust and frustration about my most recent trip from RIC to LHR on December 30th. This trip was ticketed on June 18th, as first class/business class tickets. Over the last four years, I have travelled the route of RIC to LHR flying first class or business class. The checked bagged allowance has always been 75lbs. On December 30th, when I arrived at RIC, I encountered one of the rudest ticket counter employees employed by American airlines. While waiting in the priority line an employee by the name of Spencer who barely acknowledge me, and managed to squeeze out a dry can I help you, and assisted me. Based on his noticeably rude demeanour, I began recording our interactions. When the time came to weigh my first suitcase the weight was 72lbs, to my surprise Spencer advised me that the bag was over the limit. I disputed this fact and advised him that international first class flights have a baggage allowance of 75lbs. Spencer asked me to show him where that was posted online. At this point, I asked for his manager. His manager came over and Spencer explained my complaint. The manager advised me that the baggage allowance changed on December 15, 2017? I responded that since my tickets were purchased in July, as a customer I should not be held to new restrictions which were implemented less than two weeks ago.
Needless to say, my second bag weighed 77lbs, Spencer and his supervisor"were not attempting to accommodate me, so I had to unpack both suitcases, to bring the allowance down. I even questioned being able to check a third bag since I was flying first class, Spencer advised me that was not an option. During this back and forth exchange, passengers waiting in the line began making comments to myself that the workers were hassling me unnecessary. As I turned to comment to one of the passengers, Spencer picked up my suitcase and threw it on the luggage belt. Instantly, everyone heard a loud crack. I was still recording our interactions, but had briefly turned away from the counter to comment to the passenger, but the loud crack could be heard on the video, as well as my confrontation with Spencer for throwing my suitcase.
Prior to Spencer picking up the suitcase, my mother and I were struggling to place the suitcase on the scale. I asked Spencer twice for help and he just stared at us. I mentioned to him that one of the legs on the luggage was weak due to previous damaged caused by AA, despite being informed about that, Spencer decided to throw my suitcase, as a result, the weakened leg is now completely cracked and hanging off. After removing some of the garments from my suitcases to bring them down to the 70lb limit, I placed some of the items in a garment bag( which would be used as a carry on), and the other items I had to give to my mother to keep, in the hopes that she could ship them to me in the UK . While walking to the departure gate, another passenger who witnessed Spencer throwing my suitcase, approached me and apologised for what I experienced. The shear horror of this experienced, was magnified because multiple passengers witnessed the harassing and rude behaviour I as subjected to. I have a video of the interaction with Spencer, and once I turned away from the counter, a loud crack can be heard on the video after Spencer threw my luggage. I immediately confronted him on camera and he denied it and walked away.
Secondly, Spencer lied about me being unable to check a third bag considering I was in first class. If he had been honest about me being able to check a third bag, I would have utilised a suitcase my mother had in the trunk of her vehicle, but instead, I had to leave a lot of my items due to them not fitting in the garment bag. Lastly, the appalling behaviour displayed by Spencer was unacceptable, and should be of concern for your airlines. He purposely threw my suitcase damaging it, and then attempted to minimise his actions. His supervisor, was basically useless, she did not intervene to help resolve this situation nor did she apologise for Spencers actions. She failed miserably as an individual in supervisory position who should have acted as a buffer during this exchange. Due to Spencers actions, the leg of my suitcase is now completely hanging off, and a set of 3 candles I received as a gift were completely destroyed.
I spoke with Issata and a baggage claim manager, they agreed to pay for my damaged bag, but not for the damaged items. I then spoke with another rep Brett, who advised me that AA would send me a $150 voucher for future travel?? What? Why would I want to continue to patronise a business who allows their employees to damage customers items without being held accountable for it? Brett responded, Well if we lose you as a customer its just one of those things.
I spoke with Ceasar Romero, Baggage claim manager, who advised me that he viewed my video and the employee could not be seen throwing the luggage. I advised Ceasar that I never advised him that my video showed Spencer throwing my luggage, but rather the loud crack of my luggage was audible. Moreover, I advised Cesar he could look at the surveillance video from the counter, and see that Spencer threw my luggage. To my surprise, Cesar responded: We are not going to do that. It is appalling that this is the manner in which AA treats their loyal passengers. I have flown with this company for over 15 years, but never again! I have emailed corporate 6 times about this issue; no response.

Research and Development by Janet L. Szumal, Ph.D. and Robert A. Cooke, Ph.D.
"The M/I assessment goes right to the heart of the matter. Many managers have the best intent, but don't understand how their actions impact others' behaviours. The M/I provides targeted and specific feedback that managers can turn into immediate actions."
An M/I Accredited Client
Designed for managers, front-line leaders, and others who are responsible for motivating, organising, and guiding the efforts of other people, Management/Impact® is a unique assessment that can be used to align management practices and impact with the organisation's visions, values, and strategies. Specifically, M/I provides managers with the information they need to successfully inspire the people around them to behave in a predominantly Constructive manner. Managers who participate in M/I learn how their management approaches create the impact that they have on other people and the culture of their organisations. Feedback from M/I enables them to see how their use of a Facilitating approach to various management responsibilities (e.g. "give people autonomy in carrying out their work assignments") leads to a noticeably more Constructive impact and significantly higher levels of effectiveness and success than use of an Inhibiting approach (e.g. "dictate rather than delegate the details for carrying out assignments"), which tends to make the people around them behave in a more Defensive, less effective way.
M/I feedback is based on information collected from two forms of the Management/Impact® inventory. The M/I Self-Report Inventory identifies the manager's own perceptions of his/her management approaches and ideal impact. The M/I Description by Others Inventory measures other people's impressions of the manager's effectiveness, impact on their behaviour, and approach to various responsibilities common to the jobs of most managers. Results are presented to managers in a comprehensive, confidential, and highly visual feedback report that includes Circumplex-based profiles and tables describing the manager's ideal and current impact; barcharts and tables summarising the manager's approaches to various responsibilities and effectiveness along task, people, and personal criteria; detailed text; suggested resources; and recommendations for using the feedback to improve management effectiveness.

The model and celebrity Katie Price is set to walk down the aisle for a third time.
The 33-year-old mum-of-three will marry her Argentinian boyfriend Leandro Penna though a date for their nuptials has not been announced.
Her spokesman said: "I can confirm they are engaged."
The former Page 3 girl - who shot to fame as glamour model Jordan - was first married in 2005 to pop singer Peter Andre, with whom she has two children, Junior, six, and Princess, four.
After the couple split up Ms Price went on to marry cross-dressing cage fighter Alex Reid in Las Vegas in August 2010.
Their whirlwind romance was quickly over and she went on to meet Mr Penna, 26.
Responding to well-wishers, Ms Price wrote on Twitter: "Woooo hoooo so excited," and: "Thank you for all your nice tweets!I'm gonna enjoy the sunshine where I've just landed x".
Ms Price also has a son Harvey, aged nine, by footballer Dwight Yorke.

Who killed Floribert Chebeya, the president of the leading DRC human rights group La Voix des Sans Voix, and his driver, Fidèle Bazana, in June 2010 in Kinshasa? A few runaway police officers, according to the military tribunal that judged the case and issued its sentences one year later. A few bad apples, who acted on their own, without any order from their hierarchy.
Although four of the eight indicted policemen were condemned to the death penalty and one to life imprisonment for the murder of Floribert Chebeya, the victims' widows were stunned by the verdict. Their lawyers were outraged. Virtually no one in the DRC or the international community believed that justice had been done.
Neither did Thierry Michel. A prize-winning independent Belgian journalist and film producer, Michel has carried his camera for decades all around the Democratic Republic of Congo, exposing the megalomaniac and brutal regime of former President Mobutu Sese Seko (who ruled from 1965 to 1997), filming the daily life and struggles of the population, capturing the majesty of the Congo River, and investigating corruption and oppression in the Katanga mines.
He has paid a price for his doggedness: in 1993 he was arrested by thugs of the Mobutu dictatorship, jailed, and expelled from the country. Many officials today continue to see his passion for Congo as a threat to the web of corruption and arbitrary violence that sustains the current regime. "I am regularly arrested and interrogated by the police, the military, or the intelligence services," he told CPJ. "But I also know that as an international journalist I can do things that would be too risky for local reporters."
His new documentary, "L'affaire Chebeya, un crime d'Etat?" (The Chebeya affair: A state crime?) will not endear him to Joseph Kabila's government, which had been expected to bring some democracy and respect for human rights following elections in 2006. "In fact, Chebeya's murder marked the end of the democratic hope raised by the 2006 elections," Michel said Thursday in Brussels.
Following investigations at the crime scene and the court proceedings, interviewing the victims' widows and their lawyers, Michel's cameras reconstruct what happened on June 1, 2010, when Chebeya and his driver went to the Kinshasa police headquarters to meet with General John Numbi, the chief police inspector, and disappeared. Chebeya's bruised body was discovered the next day in his car in a staged position that sordidly implied that he had died during sexual intercourse. Bazana's body was never found.
The film records the many flaws of the investigation, the disappearance of evidence, the failure to detain key suspects and a cascade of false statements. But above all it exposes Congo's "deep state" -- the murky interaction between the security services, the police, and the judiciary that guaranteed the impunity of those that ordered the crime. "Truth is at the bottom of the well," Thierry Michel said. "The trial was a tragedy for the Congolese society but it was also in a theatrical sense a comedy." By closing in on the indicted policemen -- as well as on their superiors, who were summoned to the bar as "renseignants" (witnesses not under oath) -- Michel's cameras reveal their coarseness but also apparent indifference, as if they knew they would eventually enjoy impunity.
Michel describes the attempts of some Congolese officials to approach the truth, but he also sketches a heavy atmosphere of raw manipulation and intimidation. "The camera can act as a lie detector," he said. "And there have been many lies during this trial, with probably the revelation of a state lie. The trial was locked from the start to the extent that the main suspect, John Numbi, could not be prosecuted because he was a three-star general, effectively shielding him from the reach of military justice."
Chebeya - the name of whose human rights group, La Voix des Sans Voix, means "The voice of the voiceless" -- had been a resolute adversary of Mobutu. And he was a constant thorn in the side of the Kabila dynasty --Laurent-Désiré Kabila ruled from 1997 until his murder in 2001, when his son Joseph succeeded him -- investigating abuses, exposing massacres, and mobilizing people. Over the years he became one of the most vocal and well-known human rights defenders in the DRC. The killing of such a prominent figure could not be swept under the carpet of total impunity that suffocates the country. As Michel's film makes clear, the outraged reactions of DRC's civil society and of the international community -- ambassadors, NGOs -- were instrumental in forcing the authorities to hold a trial. Although the trial was deeply flawed and protected the alleged sponsors, it was unprecedented. "Under Mobutu it would never have taken place," Michel said. "Now there is vibrant civil society, critical and inquisitive journalists. The Congolese society has matured."
Michel dedicates his film to four slain DRC journalists: Serge Maheshe, Franck Ngyke Kangundu, Bapwa Mwamba, and Didace Namujimbo. "Now unfortunately I have to add two other names to the list: Patrick Kikuku and Kambale Musonia," he told CPJ. "The press is supposed to be the guardian of the rule of law and in DRC it has paid a heavy price."
But "L'affaire Chebeya. Un Crime d'Etat?" does not end on a note of desperation, because it highlights the awakening of a Congolese civil society that refuses to be intimidated and dares to speak truth to power. The film gets beyond the somber depiction of an arbitrary and brutal state. It shows that the "voiceless" who Chebeya had fought so much to defend are standing up. The victims' widows, Annie Chebeya and Marie-Josée Bazana, the lawyers that took up their husband's cases, the demonstrators in the streets of Kinshasa, Christian communities, and a few crusading journalists have been using all the interstices of Congo's deeply flawed justice system to seek the truth and attain justice.
They are keeping a close watch on the case, not only to prevent the convicted policemen from winning the appeal that they have submitted in June 2011, but also to ensure that those convicts who have fled the country - three of them were convicted in absentia -- are arrested. They campaign for complete reform of the country's judiciary, in order to stop the cycle of impunity that feeds violence against journalists and human rights defenders.
The documentary has become a key tool in this fight for justice. It is currently being shown in European cities, where it serves as a basis for panel discussions on the state of human rights in the DRC. In July, Michel will tour the Democratic Republic of Congo for three weeks to hear the "voice of the voiceless" that Floribert Chebeya vowed to protect and empower.

text: Share SHARE PRINT Cyber insurance for the Telecommunications sector Telecommunication companies' cyber and technology related exposures are real and ever-increasing: global in nature, acting without regard to geography, sector or business size. The frequency and scale of reported breaches suggests a traditional technology-centric approach to security is no longer working. One of the primary reasons for this is that telco providers are under attack on two fronts. Their network infrastructure is a key target while their systems hold valuable personal data. Cyber criminals want to be where the people are and today the people are on their mobile devices. As recent events have shown, even sophisticated telco groups are not immune to technology failures and cyber-attacks causing significant business impact. JLT provides bespoke cyber risk management solutions and cyber liability insurance across the telecommunication industry. Whatever the cyber attack or threat is, our team of experts will work with you to find the right multi-dimensional cyber security solution for your telecommunication business. WHAT WE DO The greatest risks facing the telecommunication providers include: The loss of theft of sensitive data such as the names, addresses, email accounts and the payment details of thousands of customers The movement of data amongst telecommunication companies increases the possibility of a data loss that may leave a firm in violation of the regulatory authorities Ransomware and external malicious attacks A system outage or technical glitch resulting in significant business interruption. We can provide bespoke cyber risk management solutions and cyber liability insurance across all telecommunications. Our team of experts will work with you to find the right cyber security solution against data breach and cyber attacks. CYBER Q&A What are the risks with the convergence of IT and OT systems? Information Technology (IT) generally refers to all things computing. Less familiar is Operational Technology (OT), the software and hardware used to monitor and control physical devices. OT is typically found in industry and critical infrastructure, where electron systems operate equipment (such as sensors, valves or controls) in pipelines, refineries and nuclear power plants. These Industrial Control Systems have been used for decades (and can trace their origins to the beginnings of computing and automation in the 1950s) in a wide range of sectors, such as energy, utilities, manufacturing, chemicals, transport and scientific research. They can collect data, control processes and machinery, as well as measure and manage environmental factors, like temperature, pressure etc. OT is becoming more and more important with the march of Industry 4.0 and increased levels of automation in industry. Smart systems are being developed for power and utilities, transport and manufacturing that will see more and more industrial control systems and equipment connected to networks, including the cloud. And with the Internet of Things (IoT), OT will increasingly move beyond the industrial environment, as more and more technology is used to monitor and control devices in other sectors, such as logistics, medicine, building management, telecommunications and entertainment. However, OT and IT are quite different beasts, and are usually treated separately within organisations. But, according to Gartner, developments in IoT, smart systems, machine learning and automation will see IT and OT systems become more integrated. But OT and IT systems currently have conflicting priorities. While IT services are primarily concerned with data protection and security, OT has so far prioritised accessibility over security. Many industrial control systems were not designed with security front of mind, but awareness of their vulnerabilities and the potential consequences of cyber attacks have been increasing.</p.> One of the most high profile attacks using OT involved a steel mill in Germany, where hackers accessed the plants control systems, taking control of the blast furnace. Iranian hackers were also said to have taken control of flood gates at a US damn in 2013. OT systems are also harder to protect than IT. Many are known to run on unsupported or unpatched operating systems. Such systems are also vulnerable to human error – hackers used targeted emails and social engineering to infiltrate the German steel mill systems. As cyber criminals and other protagonists increasingly look to target industrial systems, the security of OT is set to become as important as it is in IT. Does a cyber policy cover system failure? Companies are becoming increasingly dependent on IT systems - to manage supply chains, communicate with customers and trade - and are therefore exposed to the risk of significant disruption from IT system failures. Cyber insurance has evolved over recent years and broad forms of system failure coverage are now available. However it is important to examine wordings as significant differences exist between policies. Cyber insurance can cover business interruption losses from a wide range of systems failures, but will not generally cover outages caused by power supply or telecommunications failures. Depending on the policy, other exclusions may also apply, such as the failure of new software roll-outs or upgrades. System failure cover typically falls into one of two camps: all risks or named perils. All risks provides the broadest cover, but the market is more limited in terms of insurer options and capacity, and the pricing is frequently higher. Underwriters are also likely to require more information from insureds. For companies that require system failure it is critical to be aware of the type and scope of cover under their cyber insurance policies. It is also important to work with a specialist broker to understand the implications of wordings. Are you a target for cyber espionage? Cyber espionage is one of the murkier aspects of cyber risk. Few organisations will admit to having been victim of cyber espionage, but many are concerned for a cyber attack that seeks to steal confidential information, like trade secrets or client data. Cyber espionage topped the list of major threat concerns for global business, according to a survey by Trend Micro. One in five global organisations surveyed ranked cyber espionage as the most serious threat to their business while 20% of US companies were said to have suffered a cyber espionage related attack in the last year. Cyber espionage is a broad term to describe the theft of information related to individuals, companies and governments, using hacking techniques. Foreign governments, state-affiliated hackers and even business rivals will all potentially have an interest in stealing valuable data, such as military secrets, technology or research. In its broader sense, cyber espionage can also refer to attempts to disrupt critical infrastructure or services by foreign governments or state-backed hackers. For example, a cyber attack in Ukraine targeted power stations in December 2015, causing wide-spread outages. As more and more critical data and intellectual property moves online, cyber espionage is likely to become a more pressing issue. At the same time, nation states and state backed hacking groups tend to be better resourced and use more sophisticated methods than cyber criminals. A recent report from Lloyd's identified energy, telecommunications and the public sector as the three sectors most susceptible to cyber espionage, followed by manufacturing and professional services. Foreign governments and their agents target these sectors as they seek to steal sensitive information on politically exposed persons, intellectual property and key infrastructure. How important is patching? Patches are software updates, usually released to improve the performance or fix bugs and security vulnerabilities in software already installed on computers, IT systems and devices. Software is far from perfect and glitches and vulnerabilities are readily exploited by hackers who use them to carry out cyber attacks, spread viruses, malware, ransomware and to create armies of botnets. More sophisticated cyber attacks use unknown vulnerabilities – called zero-day exploits – but the majority rely on known vulnerabilities. Analysis suggests that zero-day vulnerabilities account for as little as 1% of vulnerabilities in Microsoft software. In fact most exploits involve vulnerabilities that were patched more than a year ago. According to Fortinet's recent Threat Landscape Report, 90% of organisations recorded exploits for vulnerabilities that were three or more years old. Some 60% of firms were still seeing attacks for vulnerabilities dating back 10 years or more. The WannaCry and Petya ransomware attacks in 2018 earlier this year demonstrate the extent to which not-patching can leave companies vulnerable. Both used known vulnerabilities to spread through networks and encrypt data, and despite the availability of a patch, the malware infected hundreds of thousands of computers. Regular patching is known to be an effective form of defence against cyber attacks, and yet companies take on average 100 days or more to update their systems. In an ideal world, every organisation would apply the latest security patches and updates to their IT systems as soon as they are released. But in reality there are many good reasons why companies do not keep software up-to-date, not least because of the complexity and interdependencies of software and the reliance on critical IT systems. Installing patches can create more problems than they solve, and are known to have caused systems to crash catastrophically. In 2015, trading ceased on the New York Stock Exchange for nearly four hours after a technology upgrade went wrong, while a failed upgrade left thousands of banking customers unable to access their accounts at Australia-based St George's Bank. What is silent cyber? Silent cyber refers to potential cyber exposures contained within traditional property and liability insurance policies, which may not implicitly include or exclude cyber risks. Unlike specialist standalone cyber insurance, which clearly defines the parameters of cyber cover, traditional insurance policies were not designed with cyber exposures in mind. In many cases, traditional policies will not specifically refer to cyber and could theoretically pay claims for cyber losses in certain circumstances. This is particularly true for all risk property coverages that do not exclude cyber risk - also known as 'non-affirmative' cyber - and is particularly relevant for marine, aviation, transport and property lines, although it is also present in some liability covers. For example, a study by the UK's Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) in 2016 found that the aviation insurance sector has to date been comfortable providing implicit cyber cover and the market has not witnessed a move to introduce exclusions. Similarly, there are currently no widespread cyber exclusions in the property market. However, underwriters have acknowledged the potential for cyber aggregation resulting from cyber attacks on high-profile commercial or industrial targets, or from smart-house technology, the PRA said. Casualty lines may also have significant exposure to silent cyber losses, reflecting the fact that exclusions are not widely used or because some policies cannot exclude cyber losses, such as mandatory coverages like motor. Directors and officers, professional indemnity, financial institutions and general liability products are likely to be exposed to various degrees to 'silent' risks due to a lack of use of effective exclusions, the PRA said. How the market approaches silent cyber exposures will have a direct impact on coverage and the way in which the market reacts to very large and systemic losses. How can an attack on your supply chain affect your organisation? Cyber-attacks against digital supply chains are on the rise. Supply chain compromises typically seek to introduce security flaws or exploitable features into hardware, software, or digital services, which are then passed on to customers. 2017 saw some significant examples of supply chain attacks, including the compromise of managed service providers (MSPs) and several software products. In 2017, suspected Chinese hackers compromised several global MSPs, which deliver outsourced IT, HR and business services. It is thought that the attackers obtained commercially sensitive data from the MSPs and their clients, which included government agencies. According to the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), MSPs represent a particularly attractive target as they have links to thousands of customers worldwide. Even if a client has strong cyber security, it may find itself vulnerable if a trusted network link to an MSP is compromised. Between 15 August and 12 September 2017, downloads of a free computer clean-up tool known as CCleaner were infected with malware. The incident is thought to have affected over two million downloads by both individuals and businesses, and resulted in further attacks against large technology and telecommunications companies in the UK, Taiwan, Japan, Germany and the US. NotPetya, the global malware attack that caused major disruption in June 2017, was also a supply chain attack. Attackers managed to introduce malware into MeDoc, a legitimate software application widely used by businesses in Ukraine for handling tax returns. The compromised MeDoc update infected users of the application, while the malware was then able to spread itself within networks. Supply chain cyber attacks are seen as an increasing threat by cyber security agencies and cyber security firms. Analysis from Symantec identified a 200% increase in attacks where hackers injected malware into the software supply chain. This equated to one attack every month last year, compared to four attacks in all of 2016. How can cyber war games prepare your organisation for a cyber attack? Cyber war games simulate the experience of a real cyber-attack, enabling organisations to test their cyber response procedures, capabilities and governance in a safe and controlled environment. Cyber war games differ from traditional penetration testing, which typically looks for vulnerabilities in IT systems, networks and websites. Cyber war games are a much more involved exercise, aimed at testing an organisation's overall response to a cyber incident, including the decision making of senior managers and the effectiveness of communications. War games use specially developed scenarios – like a malware or spear phishing attack – to simulate an attack. Simulations can be a simple 'table top' exercise or a full-blown simulation. The former would see participants briefed on the attack scenario, whereas participants in a simulation are given very little information and have to work through problems as they arise. The exercise should, however, be cross functional, involving IT, risk management, business continuity, legal, corporate communications, marketing and customer care. This helps build relationships in advance of a cyber incident and tests the flow of information, including an organisation's ability to share information effectively and quickly, both internally and externally. Companies can employ a third party to design and run the war game on their behalf. War games can involve an organisation's key business partners, suppliers and contractors; while incorporating third party services, including breach response, crisis management and even insurance.

CYBER LOSSES TELECOMMUNICATIONS DATA BREACH In October 2015 a UK telecommunications company was severely destabilised by a data breach. The hack resulted in the attacker accessing the personal information of more than 150,000 customers of the service provider, including sensitive financial data for more than 15,000 people. The attack cost the network in the region of GBP 60 million and led to more than 100,000 subscribers leaving in the aftermath. The UK regulatory body, The Information Commissioners' Office, fined the telco GBP 400,000 for its negligence in securing clients data. The impact to the organisation hit on many levels. The clearly measurable costs include defending lawsuits from customers for the loss of their personally identifiable information and the provision of identity-protection services to those customers. The forensic investigation costs into the cause of the data breach along with public relations costs required to communicate with the company's customer base would have also been incurred. Less easily quantified impacts include the loss of reputation and business interruption caused. RANSOMWARE ATTACK A Spanish telecommunications firm was one of the largest organisations hit by the Wannacry virus in May 2017. The attack took aim at the Windows operating system by encrypting all its archives and all the connected units inside the network, and infecting the rest of the Windows systems inside the network. The incident did not affect customers as only internal computers were corrupted and no data was compromised. However it resulted in serious business interruption issues. Costs to the company above will include the ransomware demand and the associated investigatory costs to determine its source and validity. Harder to quantify but likely of greater financial significance is the business interruption loss incurred by the company due to the unavailability of its systems. This can have a serious material impact on the company's bottom line. Cyber policies can cover for loss incurred by the insured following a security failure (usually after a waiting period and subject to a monetary retention). The insurable costs can include extra expense caused by the interruption and lost revenue.

Clay Matthews signed a one-year endorsement deal today. It's with Unilever's Suave brand. Matthews' "marketing agent" Ryan Williams said it involves pre- and post-Super Bowl appearances. And a whole lot of groovy questions about Troy Polamalu's mane as well.
"The idea behind Suave is that men need different products than women," Williams said.
The more you know.
Anyway, the announcement comes a day after Matthews said, "I don't know what it is ... America, I'm looking for a hair deal."

GCH CH Vogelflight's "Honor"
As we give you these results from last week's Seminole Kennel Club and Mid-Continent Kennel Club Of Tulsa shows in Tulsa OK, we take a moment to send our prayers and thoughts to the residents of Moore OK and the Oklahoma City metro area. We occasionally get tornadoes here in Memphis, but nothing like they do in the Great Plains.
The SKC hosted days one & two and started with judge David Krogh mulling over the Irish setter, GCH CH Bellary N Beaubriar Dazzler, the Borzoi, CH Promises Crown Jewel Nicholas, the Boxer, GCH CH Winfall I Dream of Style, the Staffordshire Bull terrier, GCH CH Cumhill Hellraiser, the Maltese, Affair White Star Of Eternity, the Bichon Frise, GCH CH Vogelflight's "Honor" to Pillowtalk, and the Cardigan Welsh Corgi, GCH CH Aubrey's Tails of Mystery. Day one belonged to the Bichon, Honor, and the Boxer, Macey. It would be the first of two BIS that Honor and handler Lisa Bettis would collect over the weekend.

At the SKC's day two show Dr Sophia Kaluzniacki would also go with Macey and Honor, making the Boxer BIS and the Bichon RBIS. Rounding out her final were the Pointer, CH Chesterhope State Of T Art, the Saluki, GCH CH Sandstorm Blue Nile Bubbles of Jatara, the Smooth Fox Terrier, CH Sayo's Jai Ho, the Havanese, CH Peluito's Papi Chulo, and the returning Corgi, Libby. Macey handler Michael Shepherd now have four BIS and 22 Working Groups this year, good enough to make Macey the Number One Boxer and the Number Seven Working Dog.
GCH CH Aubrey's Tails of Mystery
At the MKCT's day one show on Sunday Espen Engh would prefer Honor to the previously seen Corgi, Libby, whom he preferred to the previously seen Pointer, Miley, the Whippet, CH Harmony Midnight Lace At Aeolus JC, the Boxer, Macey, the aforementioned StaffyBull, Ollie, and the returning Havanese, Papi. Honor is the country's Number One Bichon and Number Three Non-Sporting Dog with seven BIS in 32 final appearances.
The seven dogs who stayed all the way to the end at Monday's closer were the Pointer, Miley, the now familiar Saluki, Bubbles, the Boxer, Macey, the Norwich Terrier, GCH CH Skyscots Texas Hold'Em, the Italian Greyhound, GCH CH Voici Where there's Smoke There's Fire, the Bichon, Honor, and the Corgi, Libby. Peter Green's BIS was the Corgi, Libby, and his RBIS, was the Bichon, Honor. Libby is the US' Number One Cardigan Welsh Corgi and Number Two Herding Dog with five BIS and 25 Herding groups.

Triad school system to unblock social media in classroom
For years, the thought by many was to block all social media from the classroom.
But with so many people and employers using sites like Facebook and Twitter on a daily basis, the Guilford County School System says it's time for a change.
"Yes, there's some inappropriate content on the Internet, but there's also some really, really good content that would be very helpful as teaching lessons," said district spokeswoman Norah Carr.
That's the idea behind a move to start unblocking social media sites from school computers across the district.
WXII's Ericka Miller said it will happen first for teachers, starting after spring break. Students will eventually be able to log on to social media sites as well.
Last year, the district allowed computers in school to access YouTube.
Carr said the latest move is one more step in a digital direction.
"To say that we want our kids to be college and career ready, and then not let them use the very tools that everyone in business and admin are starting to use, would not be doing a service to our students," she said.
Carr said there are social media guidelines in place to make sure students and teachers are using the sites appropriately.
She said while it's important to get students using these new tools, they also want everyone to be safe.


text: The cats over at Dark Roasted Blend have put together a collection of some forgotten leviathans of transportation history - steam powered trucks. Ranging from modified steam tractors with a deck on top, to full-on, four axle workhorses. We're loath to admit we never even heard of any of these makers; Fowler who? Sentinal what? How about a Mann Wagon? This is especially embarrassing since a few summers of our youth were spent putzing around with 90 year old Case steam tractors and still not a peep about steam trucks. Could be they were mostly built in old Blighty. Could also be that the possibility for hooning in an 80 year old steam powered truck is pretty low. We're wondering if they should become part of our ever expanding product range.[DarkRoastedBlend.com</>]

They say the mullet hairstyle is business in the front but party in the back. But there isn't much of a party where the ironically-named Samuel Mullet, Sr. is concerned: The leader of a breakaway Amish group in Ohio is facing life in prison for forcibly cutting off the beards of Amish men and the hair of Amish women who had left his compound.
Violent Shearings
A Cleveland jury on September 20 convicted Mullet, who is 66, and 15 of his followers for five separate religiously-motivated assaults on other Amish practitioners last fall. Some of the defendants were also convicted of assault, kidnapping, concealing evidence, conspiracy, and making false statements to the FBI, according to the Department of Justice.
They were prosecuted under the Matthew Shepard-James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act, which "prohibits any person from wilfully causing bodily injury to any person, or attempting to do so by use of a dangerous weapon, because of the actual or perceived religion of that person."
In the assaults, the defendants reportedly "sheared them almost like animals, leaving them bloodied, bruised and beaten," according to Steven Dettelbach, U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Ohio. "These were no mere haircuts. These were violent attacks . . . [leaving victims] so shaken and scared that they felt compelled to call on local law enforcement."
"The assaults all entailed using scissors and battery-powered clippers to forcibly cut or shave the beard hair of the male victims and the head hair of the female victims," according to the DOJ. "During each assault, the defendants restrained and held down the victims. During some of the assaults, the defendants injured individuals who attempted to intervene to protect or rescue the victims."
Don't Let the Name Fool You
As the bishop of an Amish community outside of Bergholz, Ohio, Sam Mullet ruled with an iron fist; according to the DOJ, he took in wives of other men and dispensed corporal punishment to community members as discipline. The community, which lives on an 800-acre compound, broke away from a larger Amish population and consists primarily of Mullet's relatives.
The Amish believe that men's beards and women's long hair signify their faith. The victims had tried to flee Mullet's community, but he and his vigilante group were having none of it. The shearings were part of their religious dispute, according to the DOJ.
Sentencing is scheduled for January 2013. Mullet and his followers face life in prison under the federal hate crimes law, but a spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney's Office reportedly said federal guidelines in this case call for about 17 and a half years.

Krispy Kreme Is Selling a Reese's Pieces Doughnut
Last fall - just in time for trick-or-treaters - Reese's released the Outrageous bar, which our staffers basically declared the best chocolate candy of all time. The near-perfect confection is built with a peanut butter and caramel center covered in milk chocolate and Reese's Pieces. It can't get better than that, right? Wrong.
For a limited time only, Krispy Kreme is offering its own version of the treat using some of the same ingredients in the form of a chocolate doughnut. The crazy confection features chocolate yeast dough dipped in Hershey's fudge icing. It's then topped with mini Reese's Pieces and a drizzle of peanut butter and gooey salted caramel sauce. The brand-new treat will be offered at select Krispy Kreme outposts throughout the U.S.Things are getting innovative across the pond, too. According to Sora News, Krispy Kreme Japan launched a limited-edition line of doughnuts called "Tasty Asian Sweets," inspired by popular desserts from different parts of Asia. From now until early September, customers in the Land of the Rising Sun will find Hong Kong Almond Tofu, Thai Mango Cheesecake, Vietnam Chè, Taiwan Pineapple Cake, and Thai Spicy Green Curry doughnuts on the menu. A Taiwan Tapioca Milk Tea will also be offered.
Tasty Asian Sweets probably won't make their way to America, but that's OK. Krispy Kreme is always giving us the limited-edition desserts we need and desire. Most recently, we saw birthday-themed confetti doughnuts, and before that came chocolate-glazed, Chips Ahoy and Nutter Butter, Reese's Peanut Butter Egg, and Hershey's Gold. For more on the company that once tried to sell doughnuts through car windows and sunroofs at an intersection in California, here are 15 things you didn't know about Krispy Kreme.

We discussed Sony's E3 announcement of the pricing and details of the Vita portable console (hands-on report), but they also made a stronger push into the 3D space, revealing a 24" display specifically designed for 3D gaming. Most notable about this display is that two players wearing 3D glasses can use it to view separate images on screen. This means that when playing with a friend, you need not sacrifice 50% of screen real estate to accommodate the other player. The Guardian has a good run-down of Sony's other E3 announcements.

Though we pretty much already knew he was onboard, Paramount and New Regency announced today that Russell Crowe is officially set to play Noah in Darren Aronofsky's Biblical epic Noah. The film is "a close adaptation of the Biblical story of Noah's Ark, in which the titular Noah is given a divine mission of building an ark to save creation from the impending flood. Aronofsky wrote the screenplay alongside Ari Handel, and John Logan (Gladiator, Hugo) performed revisions. Interestingly, the press release notes that production will begin this July in New York and Iceland. Hit the jump for more.
According to scripture, Noah's Ark came to rest in the Mountains of Ararat, which is today located in Turkey. I'm not incredibly familiar with the geography of Iceland, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't look like Turkey. It's possible that Aronofsky is still firming up other locations, or maybe they'll do a bang-up job changing Iceland's climate.
The film's release date is set for March of 2014, so it's also possible that the long post-production schedule means Aronofsky is utilizing a great deal of visual effects to bring the Biblical tale to life. Whatever the case, I'm incredibly excited to see that Noah is moving forward. Liam Neeson has been mentioned in connection with the other lead role in the film, but he has yet to official come onboard. Read the full press release below. Noah opens on March 28th, 2014.
HOLLYWOOD, CA (April 22, 2012) – Paramount Pictures and New Regency Productions jointly announced today that Academy Award®-winner Russell Crowe has been cast as Noah in Academy Award®-nominated director Darren Aronofsky's feature film of the same name. Paramount will release the film on March 28, 2014.
Said Aronofsky, "I'd like to thank Paramount and Regency for backing my team's work to breathe new life into the biblical epic. I rejoice that Russell Crowe will be by my side on this adventure. It's his immense talent that helps me to sleep at night. I look forward to being wowed by him every day."
NOAH is a close adaptation of the Biblical story of Noah's Ark. In a world ravaged by human sin, Noah is given a divine mission: to build an Ark to save creation from the coming flood. The screenplay was written by Aronofsky and Ari Handel and revised by Academy Award®-nominated screenwriter John Logan (GLADIATOR, HUGO).
Scott Franklin and Aronofsky of Protozoa Pictures, along with Mary Parent of Disruption Entertainment, will produce the film. The film will be executive produced by Ari Handel (BLACK SWAN), Arnon Milchan of New Regency and Chris Brigham (INCEPTION, ARGO).
The movie will begin shooting this July in Iceland and New York.

You may have heard a lot recently about electric vehicles (EVs). Sales of EVs are up, manufacturers are beginning to offer a variety of EV models – from sportscars to sedans – and our recent analysis found that 42 percent of American households with a vehicle could use an EV.
So, why are car buyers getting more enthused about EVs? Since I'm not an EV owner myself (I continue to rely on my 25 year old Panasonic "collectors" bicycle – and by "collectors" I mean rusting hunk of Japanese steel), I asked UCS members who drive EVs what they like about driving on electricity. Read on to hear their stories and find out the top 7 reasons to consider an EV. Read more >

Welcome to the Faculty of Agriculture
Welcome to the Faculty of Agriculture.
Since 1934 the Faculty of Agriculture, formerly the historic Poppelsdorf Agricultural College, has enriched the spectrum of teaching and research available at the Friedrich-Wilhelm University of Bonn. The faculty not only offers traditional agricultural subjects but also covers agricultural and food systems sciences and geodesy, resulting in institutes within the faculty that provide a valuable complement to the six other University faculties.
Today, the faculty effectively collaborates across faculty boundaries, encourages innovation and creativity and enables the establishment of scientific research in our daily lives.
The problems faced today, such as global shortage of energy and raw materials, competing use of land for energy or food crops as well as the need to develop sustainable alternatives can not be solved without the meaningful interaction of fundamental and applied research.
Overproduction in industrialized countries on the one hand, and underproduction or malnutrition in developing countries on the other hand, have to be fought effectively. The provision of high quality, safe food in a fair value chain is an important contribution to a healthy environment.
Our University has been undergoing a profound structural change for several years due to the changing study requirements for European Universities (i.e. the Bologna Process) and changing conditions in the national organization of teaching and research. The University and the Agriculture Faculty have used the opportunities these changes have provided to optimise the institutional structure of the Faculty and achieve the targets set. Research-oriented and research-led BSc and MSc degree courses were introduced throughout the faculty, supported with strong research departments. Furthermore an innovative program of study and research incentives have been introduced. The scientific spectrum of our nutrition and food sciences and geodesy have been optimised to emphasise the synergies between these subjects.
This website aims to inform school-leavers, graduates, potential research partners and, of course, opinion leaders in politics and society about the unique profile of our faculty and its future.
Food – Feed – Energy (FFE)
Resources for life
Renewable resources are the basic requirement for human life. At a time of increasing world population, changing consumer habits and an ever increasing demand for food and energy , it is crucially important that resources are used in a sustainable and environmentally sound manner.
Under the motto "Food-Feed-Energy," the Agriculture Faculty is dealing with: the establishment of nutritional concepts, the sustainable production of energy and the competing use of land as well as the impact of climate. Through the combination of natural, economic and social sciences and technical disciplines, we explore solutions to conserve resources for future generations. With innovative research, individual teaching and interdisciplinary work - we aim to achieve this goal. We want to maintain our broad subject base but concentrate in the future specifically on selected interdisciplinary topics.

On my personal desktop at home, I like to see the statistics at least once a day, for what was installed, what was run with sudo and other such details like kernel errors.
Running this monotonously every day is quite boring, so comes to rescue is logwatch. I have Fedora installation so I will talk about the location with respect to that so for your distribution it might be a little different.
First install logwatch using 🙂 yum install logwatch
and you are done.
If you need to do more configuration and want to see something different in the mail that is sent( BTW sendmail is assumed to be default mail client), the keep reading.
First open the file /etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf
The contents for my distro is just one line 🙂
# Local configuration options go here (defaults are in /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/logwatch.conf)
So, open the file /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/logwatch.confbr
I will highlight the important lines in the file here:
LogDir = /var/log — This is the directory for all the log files
MailTo = root — Whom should the mail be sent to
Print = If this is set to true then there will be no mail sent and the output will be displayed on the stdout.
Detail = The level of details you want to see in the mail or the output on screen.
Thats pretty much it.. If you want to further modify the details in the mail you can configure the services. For more advanced usage you can even go to /usr/share/logwatch/scripts/services and configure the individual scripts.

The Galileo spacecraft begins to heat and disintegrate as it plunges into the atmosphere of Jupiter in this artist's concept. The entry ended an eight-year reconnaissance of Jupiter on September 21, 2003. Although hampered by the loss of its main radio antenna, the craft transmitted thousands of pictures of Jupiter and its moons, along with data on their composition, Jupiter's magnetic field and radiation belts, and much more. Galileo was intentionally targeted at Jupiter to prevent the dying craft from accidentally hitting the moon Europa, which could have a subsurface ocean of liquid water, and contaminating it with terrestrial bacteria. [NASA/JPL]
You are here
Journey's End
After eight years and 35 looping orbits around Jupiter, the Galileo spacecraft was worn out. Its cameras had been destroyed by radiation, its tape recorder was cranky, and it was just about out of fuel. To eliminate any risk that it might crash into one of Jupiter's icy moons and contaminate it with Earthly bacteria, engineers gave the craft one last command. They told it to slam into Jupiter, where it would burn up in the planet's thick atmosphere. It did so on September 21st, 2003.
Galileo was a good-news/bad-news type of mission. Its launch was delayed, and its path to Jupiter lengthened, by the loss of space shuttle Challenger. The delays created mechanical problems that kept the craft's main radio antenna from opening, severely limiting the amount of data it could transmit to Earth.
On the "good-news" side, Galileo became the first spacecraft to fly past an asteroid, and it discovered the first asteroid moon. And after it arrived at Jupiter, in 1995, it dropped a probe into the planet's atmosphere.
After that, Galileo conducted extensive studies of Jupiter and its moons. It found evidence that oceans of liquid water are hidden beneath the icy crusts of three moons. It measured the composition of the Jovian clouds, and mapped the structure of the planet's magnetic field.
Despite its problems, Galileo provided the most extensive view yet of the solar system's largest planet — a mission of exploration that ended 10 years ago today.
