Sunshine! We even has lots of sunshine this week too. Window whiffies and sunshine, wow! At first I wasn’t really sure what it was because it has been so long since we’ve seen it. I thought it looked familiar though and sure enough I realized what it was. Hey sunshine, we’ve been missing you and we’re glad you finally remembered where we live. Now I have a favor to ask please. There are lots of my friends who haven’t seen you in a very long time too, would you please go visit them as well? I would appreciate it because all of my friends are special and they would just love it if you would stop by and warm their furs…and melt some snow.
Adopt cats, we deserve it!!! Purrrr! Zip! Later!

South Korea is one of the most digitally connected countries in the world. Like other digital societies, it is vulnerable to cyber attacks. These attacks can wreak havoc on institutions, disrupt the economy, and erode social trust. Cyber attacks suspected of originating from North Korea, in particular, have become increasingly sophisticated. North Korea has used cyber attacks to achieve its political goals in South Korea (hereinafter Korea or the Republic of Korea—ROK) by stealing information and millions of dollars, sowing a sense of vulnerability in Korean society. Attacks from North Korea and other malicious actors have disrupted information and communications technology (ICT) systems in the ROK government and the country’s private sector. In response, over the last three decades, Korea has developed better and more comprehensive cybersecurity policies aimed at ensuring the capability to prepare, respond, and recover in both the public and private sectors. However, much more remains to be done.
Korea’s cybersecurity effort began in earnest in the 1980s when the government first began to actively promote informatization of the economy, government, and society.1 Furthermore, the government focused on improving e–civil service and enhancing national competitiveness through the implementation of e-government services. Yet, until the early 2000s, this effort was primarily focused on document security and physical security, aimed at providing a blanket of information protection or information security. These cybersecurity-enhancing goals were defined by Korea’s National Intelligence Service (NIS) for the public sector and by the Ministry of Science and ICT (MSIT) for the private sector. But rather than developing a proactive, comprehensive, and nationwide cybersecurity policy or strategy, these agencies mostly limited themselves to responding to malicious activities and working to develop practical countermeasures.
However, the cyber threat had grown exponentially. Actors supposedly associated with Pyongyang had become capable of routinely launching successful attacks on information technology (IT) systems in South Korea. As the damage and disruption from these attacks intensified, public awareness of the need to improve cybersecurity put new pressures on both government and the private sector to develop a more robust set of tactics and tools.2
In 2009, the government at last made its first attempt to publish a national cybersecurity strategy. Three subsequent attempts followed, but these were more like lists of policy action items rather than strategic vision documents. By this point, however, Korea was also engaging in international efforts to address cyber threats and joining intergovernmental partnerships in cybersecurity. For example, South Korea participated in the first and second United Nations (UN) Groups of Governmental Experts (GGE) on information security, was part of the London Process, and hosted the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Ministerial Meeting on the Future of the Internet Economy in 2008, which produced the Seoul Declaration.3 Particularly, because of the links between cyber threats and national security, the government in Seoul held discussions with other countries through the framework of both ad hoc multinational and bilateral mechanisms and channels. One result was the Seoul Conference on Cyberspace, held in 2013, which was an important opportunity to reflect on the importance of digital issues in the diplomatic and security fields. The Seoul Framework and Guidelines for an Open and Secure Cyberspace and Best Practice was produced by that conference.4
An attempt was made in 2009 to establish a single, national cybersecurity strategy, and cyber attacks were identified as a serious threat in the National Security Strategy published in July 2014.5 It was not, however, until 2015 that the government announced comprehensive measures to strengthen Korea’s cybersecurity posture and appointed a cybersecurity officer in the National Security Council directly under the president of Korea. With this position, the government tried to provide a focal point for better cybersecurity policymaking and coordination. However, three consecutive officers were not fully effective in that role for varying reasons: from their expertise with cyber issues to political differences on who should have overarching authority on cyber-related matters. In the years since 2015, the role of the independent presidential officer of cybersecurity has been merged with that of the secretary of information convergence.
Despite increased awareness of the importance of cybersecurity, there has been very little research by Korean social scientists about how institutions and practices related to cybersecurity have evolved in the country. Instead, the research on cybersecurity has been mostly limited to the writings of a few jurists on narrow legal aspects and the highly technical discussions of cybersecurity practices shaped by engineers, technologists, and security practitioners. This narrow focus on technological solutions has meant that much policy work needs to be done to ensure that such solutions will be effectively deployed and managed.
Different Korean agencies have pushed different messages and competing tools and programs to address cybersecurity. The result has, until very recently, been a lack of effective strategy and institutionalized policy practice. The Korean-convened Global Cyberspace Peace Regime (GCPR), a major platform facilitating highly professional track 1.5 discussions, embracing academic and governmental experts from the Asian region and around the globe, is a step in the right direction.6 Still, contributions from the social science community are lacking. This chapter aims to fill that gap and share lessons learned from Korea’s more recent experience.
Interministerial competition for cybersecurity oversight has been an additional challenge in Korea. Government policies have helped make Korea a high-growth, high-income economy, so the economic ministries have a good deal of clout. But their views of digital issues and particularly cybersecurity are very different from the security agencies. Their priorities and even their cybersecurity language sometimes differ. That said, it is encouraging that internal efforts have started to develop a common terminology or lexicon in this field. It should lead to more coordinated policymaking and action in the future.
The evolution of Korean institutions, policies, and practices and the country’s experience as a target of malicious cyber activity can inform an understanding of its own experiences with cyber defense and data resilience. It can also aid other countries in their approach to cybersecurity.
For more than two decades, major cyber attacks have triggered new initiatives meant to reduce the likelihood of future attacks and reduce the damage and disruption they can cause. After attacks such as the distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack in 2009, the attack on broadcasting systems in 2013, and the ransom attack on Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power in 2014, the Korean government responded by announcing new comprehensive measures.7
Over the years, the Korean government’s statements about cyber attacks raised awareness among policymakers and the public about the need for more government action to address the threat. Cybersecurity governance was composed of three agencies: the National Cybersecurity Center (NCSC) under the National Intelligence Services for the government and public sector; the Ministry of Science and ICT for the private sector; and then individual response systems for a diverse group of agencies, such as the one at the Ministry of National Defense for the military sector. The NCSC, established in 2004, was named as a general manager, and the National Cyber Safety Management Regulations enacted in 2005 defined each organization’s roles (see figure 10).8
Korea has, in recent years, made significant changes to its framework for cybersecurity. The National Security Council (NSC), which reports directly to the president, has been coordinating cybersecurity since 2015.9 Under the NSC, the NCSC leads practical efforts for cybersecurity across the national government and the public sector where more than 70 percent of the nation’s critical information infrastructure facilities are located.10 Within the NCSC, the Ministry of Science and ICT and the Cyber Command of the Ministry of National Defense are responsible for the private sector and the military sector respectively.
This system has made a positive contribution to the overall improvement of the initial cybersecurity capabilities. There is no doubt as to the effectiveness of many of the measures that were first introduced by public institutions. The state and public sectors actively led the cybersecurity technologies policies and expanded the application to the private sector, supporting the improvement of technical and managerial capabilities. For example, Korea has cybersecurity regulations that provide the basis for strengthening cybersecurity for both the central government and public institutions. With that, for example, collecting and sharing information needed to strengthen cybersecurity is specified as a unique duty of the NIS. The NCSC is establishing and operating a National Cyber Threat Information–sharing system for incident investigation and information sharing in public institutions.11 But some have pointed out that a reexamination of the effectiveness of the existing system is necessary due to the recent technological development and expansion and convergence of cyberspace.
To protect critical information infrastructure from cyber threats and attacks, Korea enacted the Critical Information Infrastructure Protection Act (hereafter CIIP Act) in 2001, which has been subsequently amended. Under the CIIP Act, Korea established a Critical Information Infrastructure Protection Committee under the Office of the Prime Minister to coordinate CIIP-related activities among several governmental authorities. The CIIP Act mandates that the NCSC, for the government and public sector, and the Ministry of Science and ICT, for the private sector, have key roles in CIIP activities in each sector. The NCSC, which has developed advanced technologies and trained experts, has taken the lead in the government’s CIIP-related activities and coordinated the activities of other ministries.12 As a result of the CIIP Act, more than 400 facilities, including nuclear power plant systems, transportation systems, and commercial bank networks, have been designated as critical information infrastructure (CII).13
National Cybersecurity Strategy and National Cybersecurity Basic Plan of 2019
In 2019, the publication of a new National Cybersecurity Strategy by the presidential National Security Office was widely regarded as the most important and effective policy document on cybersecurity produced in more than thirty years in Korea.14 It led to redoubled efforts to strengthen the resiliency of Korea’s digital infrastructure and was followed by the establishment of a basic plan and an implementation plan. The strategy identified 5G design and deployment and anti-drone measures as the most critical areas of government focus, both of which were new issues for priority emphasis in Korean cybersecurity and national security.
The goals of this 2019 strategy are to ensure stable operations of the state, respond to cyber attacks, and build a strong cybersecurity foundation in Korea. For this purpose, the strategy sets out three basic principles: balance individual rights with the need for better cybersecurity, conduct security activities based on the rule of law, and build a system of participation and cooperation among domestic stakeholders and foreign counterparts. The strategy encourages individuals, business, and the government to participate in cybersecurity activities, and pursue close cooperation with the international community. It outlines how Korea will ensure it can continue reaping the benefits provided by ICTs while minimizing risks. The strategy is built around six strategic pillars: secured national critical infrastructure, enhanced cyber attack defense capabilities, trust- and cooperation-based governance, cybersecurity industry growth, fostering a cybersecurity culture, and strengthened international cooperation.
The strategy was followed by the National Cybersecurity Basic Plan, which outlines 100 tasks to be accomplished over the next two to three years.15 The strategic tasks and detailed tasks of the strategy are included in the 2019 National Cybersecurity Strategy. Those 100 tasks have, in turn, been categorized as either policy tasks or technological tasks. Policy tasks make up almost 70 percent of the whole plan and include international collaboration, international norm setting, CIIP, crisis management, and information sharing. In addition to the National Cybersecurity Basic Plan, each agency contributes to an annual National Cybersecurity Implementation Plan.
It is very encouraging that various efforts are being made to achieve the vision presented by the strategy through the basic plan and implementation plan. However, revising and refining the plans will require more research in some key areas. For instance, it is necessary to develop deterrence strategies to discourage cyber attacks, but the strategy does little to make headway in this area. In particular, in-depth discussions with the national security agencies should reflect the scope, intensity, and impact of the increasingly serious cyber attacks—in both military and economic terms. In this regard, the strategy needs to more clearly articulate goals and define terms, as well as explain how responsibilities are assigned to government agencies as well as to private sector organizations. An improved strategy should start with a thorough threat analysis, which would be then be updated as necessary, to enable well-informed, data-driven decisionmaking.
Revision of the National Intelligence Service Act
Since 2006, the ROK has worked to implement the so-called Cybersecurity Basic Law to make clear each agency’s role and responsibility and the nationwide cybersecurity framework. The National Intelligence Service, in particular, has pushed for the enactment of the Cybersecurity Basic Law, revised the National Intelligence Service Act, and established the basis for its role regarding cybersecurity. On that basis, the government revised the National Intelligence Service Act in 2020 and enacted the Cybersecurity Business Regulations in 2020 that stipulated the National Intelligence Service’s role in cybersecurity.
The revision of the National Intelligence Service Act that established the scope of the NIS’s cybersecurity operations, Article 4 of the National Intelligence Service Act, defined three main tasks: collection, analysis, and distribution of cybersecurity-related information; countermeasures related to cybersecurity performance; and preventing and responding to cyber attacks and threats against government agencies and public sector institutions.
In addition, the name of the National Cybersecurity Center was changed from “cyber safety” to “cybersecurity” in Article 3(3) of the Cybersecurity Business Regulations.16 The National Intelligence Service Act emphasized that the security of cyberspace is an important national security issue. The act therefore defined cybersecurity as one of the key tasks of the National Intelligence Service (NIS). Therefore, the name of the center was changed to the same as the name of the NIS task. In addition, when the National Cybersecurity Center was established (in 2004), the term “national security” was often translated as “safety” in Korea, but more recently it has been generally translated as “security.”17
The basis for establishing and implementing basic measures for cybersecurity led by the NIS in the consultation of National Security Council and other central government agencies was provided in Article 8 of the Cybersecurity Business Regulations. The National Security Research Institute was designated as a research-and-development (R&D) specialized institution for cybersecurity affairs to expand its work to develop the strategies, policies, and technologies necessary to improve cybersecurity (in Article 17).
Nevertheless, much like the national cyber strategy, the NIS law and the enforcement ordinance of the law also have room for improvement. First, some terms are not defined under these regulations in a consistent way—not least, the very definition of “cybersecurity.” The National Cyber Safety Management Regulations defined this as encompassing three things—cyber attacks, cyber safety, and cyber crisis—but the revised NIS law and the newly enacted enforcement ordinance have no clear definition of “cybersecurity.”18
It is also necessary to clarify the duties of the different offices and agencies involved in cybersecurity and cyber resilience. For instance, the NIS can collect, create, and distribute “cybersecurity-related information including information on international hacking group and state-sponsored group” according to the law’s Article 4.19 But the scope of “international and national hacking groups” has not been defined in the law.20
Korean New Deal
Various fields in Korea, including ICT and cybersecurity, have changed due to the coronavirus pandemic that hit in 2020. With the explosive growth of telecommuting and online services such as telemedicine (which some Koreans refer to as “untact”—a new word combining “un” and “contact”), Korea’s dependence on ICT technology is expanding more rapidly than ever before. The government announced the Korean New Deal in July 2020 to overcome the economic recession after the pandemic and to change the paradigm across Korea’s economy and society.21 The Korean New Deal applies to both the public (excluding the military) and the private sectors and consists of three projects: the Digital New Deal, the Green New Deal, and the Strong Safety Net. Cybersecurity is included in the Digital New Deal project.
The Digital New Deal is a policy aimed at promoting and spreading digital innovation and dynamism across the economy by expanding the digital divide based on ICT, such as e-government infrastructure services. Cybersecurity is mainly related to the first project on “stronger integration of DNA (data, networks, and artificial intelligence) throughout the economy.” That project consists of four subprojects, and two of them deal with cybersecurity.
The first subproject is focused on “making a smart government that utilizes 5G and AI.” The government will implement pilot projects based on blockchain technology, establish 5G at all government complexes, and transition to cloud computing for public information system by 2025. Systems for citizen services, such as homepages for public disclosure, will be transferred to a private cloud center. And systems for public administration are scheduled to be relocated and integrated into a public security cloud center with enhanced security functions.
And the second subproject is focused on “advancing cybersecurity.” Cybersecurity threats are becoming more sophisticated and causing widespread damage due to digitalization and the spread of untact services. So, the goal of the project is to make the digital environment safer, enable untact services in daily life, and to foster the security industry.
The “advancing cybersecurity” initiative is divided into three domains: firms, people, and industry. First, for firms, the government helps unprepared SMEs make the security investments needed to strengthen cyber defense, diagnose threats, and improve response. In addition, special emphasis is put on addressing vulnerabilities in untact services. For people, the government supports major public facilities for software and website inspections, remote security checks, and safety measures to enhance cybersecurity for people’s daily lives. Lastly, for industry, in order to revitalize the cybersecurity industry ecosystem, the government is promoting the application of new technologies such as blockchain and fostering promising AI-based security companies.
The Evolution of Korean Cybersecurity Policy
Notions of cybersecurity—and the challenges it presents—have evolved significantly in Korea over the last twenty years. This is reflected through the development of concepts and terminology used to describe digital technologies and cyber threats.
Research and Development Trend Analysis (by Keyword Comparison)
This chapter’s analysis of keywords in cybersecurity-related academic journals demonstrates how research trends in cybersecurity have changed during the last two decades in response to new threats and to the increased attention being paid to this issue.22 The papers analyzed are limited to highly respected Korean-language journals registered in the Korean Citation Index (KCI).23 The National Research Foundation of Korea, which manages research journals (including papers published by domestic academic societies), does an annual ranking of journals to determine which will be recognized as KCI-registered journals.
To analyze research trends, the authors divided the catalogue of published papers into four time periods based on when major cyber attacks hit Korea after 2001. The major cyber attacks during this period were the 2003 internet disruption, the 2009 DDoS attack, and the KHNP hacking in 2014.
From 2001 to 2003, keywords related to the information society, laws, ethics, and passwords frequently appeared. Information security terms began to be used in the 2004–2009 period. For example, keywords and phrases such as “personal information protection,” “privacy,” “self-regulation,” “government regulation,” “RFID,” “risk analysis,” and “biometrics” began to creep into Korean academic and policy discussions. It was during this period that the Korean government began to regulate the internet. Measures such as an online identification system were implemented, but this led to controversy about freedom of expression on the internet. As a result, the need for self-regulation emerged and the Korea Internet Self-Governance Organization was established in 2008.
For 2010–2014, as in previous time periods, “information protection,” “information security,” and “personal information protection” appear at the top of the rankings. But keywords such as “security policy,” “information protection governance/management system,” and “cybersecurity” appear at the top for the first time, suggesting a further evolution in Korean thinking. Finally, from 2015 to September 2019, the top keywords were “information protection,” “information security,” “and “cybersecurity.” Related keywords such as “security,” “basic law,” “cyber terrorism,” and “cyber crime” were also widely used.
This study shows that terms with similar meanings to cybersecurity, such as “information protection” and “information security,” were incorporated into the research over time. Such terms often lacked clear definitions. Part of the reason for this is that due to interministerial competition, a cyber glossary was not (and still has not been) clearly defined by the government. The development of a cyber glossary, drawing on U.S. and other international research, is essential for the future development of Korea’s cybersecurity policy.
Strategic Training and Competition
In South Korea, the Cyber Conflict Exercise (CCE) is a competition sponsored by NIS and NSR and includes a so-called strategy game.24 During the CCE, situation report procedure and media response training are part of the strategy game to highlight the importance of comprehensive crisis response capabilities during a cyber crisis, and to improve not only technical response capabilities but also policy response capabilities.
Situation reporting is an activity that promptly “reports a summary of the current situation and related response activities accurately.”25 It is essential in the event of a cyber crisis. Quick, accurate analysis is needed to identify the cause of the accident and establish countermeasures, support rapid recovery, prevent further spread of damage, and promote coordination and cooperation in response with related domestic organizations.
Media response refers to the activities of participants in the competition to analyze trends in media such as newspapers and social networking services, and to respond to direct inquiries from media parties. In order to limit the cascading effects caused by attacks and minimize social confusion in a crisis, participants need to create content and prepare efficient and consistent communication measures that build and maintain the trust of the public and the media in peacetime as well as in crisis situations.
The policy training scenario consisted of a cyber attack on government agencies and infrastructure in a virtual city called Hope City, Korea, and simulated the response of government officials and other key players. A status report provided a cyber warning at each stage of the exercise. Participants briefed the “media” in the middle of the competition process, and via inquiries and answers on social media.
Most of the participants had no history of work related to situation reporting or media response, but they received positive evaluations, having gained experience in crisis communication and policy decisionmaking through strategic games. These games and simulations helped participants realize the need to improve policymakers’ ability to respond to a cyber crisis.
In 2021, the ROK joined the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s Locked Shields exercise.26 Korea’s participation in the exercise was led by the NIS,27 which combines technical exercise and strategic exercise, and the government placed great significance in participating in strategic exercise.28
Strengths and Weaknesses of Korean Cybersecurity Capabilities
Korea is among the most connected economies in the world. This is expected only to intensify with the arrival of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) and its expansion of machine learning and artificial intelligence. Many Koreans view the 4IR as a new driving force for innovative growth in one of the world’s most innovative economies. Better cybersecurity will be a prerequisite to the success of the 4IR. That is why Korea is investing, including in international cyber partnerships, to promote better cybersecurity policies and practices at home while offering its distinctively Korean contributions to other countries.
K-Global Cybersecurity Capability Assessment and Applicability
Korea has developed a tool to make basic data available for cyber-related decisionmaking: the Korea Global Cybersecurity Capability Assessment (GCCA) tool.29 It assesses the national competency level through comparison and analysis with other countries according to selected criteria.
As interest in the GCCA has increased and research has continued, the scope of the project has expanded. Initially, the main purpose of the GCCA was to focus on understanding the current state of cybersecurity and suggest new directions for policy development and capability-building measures. Recent additions to the GCCA can help foster global cooperation, information sharing, and awareness raising. These additions facilitate sharing of policies, technical standards, and best practices between countries. Due to the global nature of cyberspace, the boundaries between countries are blurring and attacks using cyber infrastructures in other countries are easy to carry out and harder to attribute. For that reason, Korean government officials and corporate leaders tend to emphasize how international security is affected by cyber attacks to critical national infrastructure. Through capability assessment, Korea aims not only to strengthen cybersecurity, but also to lay the foundation for strengthening cybersecurity through cross-border cyber defense programs with international partners, enabling cooperative responses to global cyber threats. This trend is well reflected in the International Telecommunication Union’s Global Cybersecurity Index 2018.30
The GCCA was developed by the NSR using a national cybersecurity assessment methodology that reflects Korea’s own unique and distinctive characteristics. The assessment is conducted through expert surveys, with seventeen assessment criteria in five categories: policy, legislation, organization, technology, and education/training.
The policy category provides an assessment of the will and direction to strengthen cyber capabilities at the national level, and consists of five criteria, including cybersecurity policy and infrastructure protection policy. The legislation category provides an assessment of the legal basis for policy promotion, and consists of four criteria, including the level of development of cybersecurity regulations and critical infrastructure protection legislation and regulations.
The categories of organization, technology, and education and training assess the level of implementation of national cybersecurity policies and laws. In the organizational category, there are four criteria, including the level of development of the Korean organizations responsible for cybersecurity and the role of critical infrastructure protection organizations. In the technology category, there are three criteria: the level of development of cybersecurity R&D programs, the establishment of standards, and technology adoption. In the category of education and training, there are three criteria, including education programs for training professional manpower.
As assessment result indicators, rankings by country were derived for comparative analysis with leading countries. This helps decisionmakers to identify the strengths and weaknesses of each country. In comparison to other countries that have used the assessment tool, Korea was assessed relatively high in terms of the establishment of infrastructure protection standards and implementation of cybersecurity technologies. However, it was assessed to be relatively low with respect to governance and cybersecurity R&D education programs.
Strengths and Weaknesses of Korea’s Cybersecurity Capabilities
To analyze the strengths and weaknesses of Korea’s cybersecurity capabilities, therefore, the authors conducted an importance performance analysis (IPA). The IPA is a method that sets priorities by using the importance and performance of an analysis target.31 It has been used in various social science fields, such as public administration, policy studies, and business administration.
The IPA displays the results in a quadrant centering on the average value of importance and performance. In the GCCA, the x-axis was defined as the importance of each criterion and the y-axis was defined as the score for each criterion. The IPA matrix was derived by crossing the two axes using the median value for the x-axis and the average value for the y-axis as the origin. Quadrant I (“Keep up the good work”) are criteria with high importance and high scores, and it is desirable to maintain the current status. Quadrant II (“Possible overkill”) are criteria that scored higher than their importance and require passive management. Quadrant III (“Low priority”) reflect both low importance and performance, requiring mid- to long-term improvement. Quadrant IV (“Concentrate here”) includes criteria that have a high importance but a low score, so they involve items that need intensive improvement in the future.32
The importance of each criterion for the IPA was scored by surveying domestic experts in Korea. The IPA analysis of GCCA results for Korea show that the elements that need to be improved to bolster its cybersecurity capabilities mainly include national crisis management policies and legislation, and cybersecurity regulations. Criteria that need improvement in the medium to long term include cyber crime regulations, standards establishment and implementation, and education programs.
The Korean government announced its National Cybersecurity Strategy in 2019 and soon afterward announced its associated implementation plan, including eighteen key tasks and 100 detailed tasks in the National Cybersecurity Basic Plan. However, the government failed to assign priorities to each task in the strategy and the basic plan. In the future, according to the analysis of Korea’s global cybersecurity capability evaluation, it will be important for the efficiency of the implementation of each task to be improved by identifying the assessed criteria that need to be given a priority focus (quadrant IV).
Key Features of Cybersecurity Governance and Best Practices in Korea
The ROK has continuously encountered cyber attacks. Cyber attacks have occurred at various scales—from simple phishing attacks to infrastructure paralysis. Therefore, the ROK has clarified the responsibilities of organizations addressing cyber threats and established laws and policies to prevent and respond to cyber attacks in both peacetime and crisis periods.
Most components of critical infrastructure in the ROK, including energy, water, and transportation, are designated as public institutions and are operated centrally by the state (almost 70 percent). So, the role of the private sector in strengthening the cybersecurity of critical infrastructure, while essential, is smaller than in many other countries. The state leads the collection and sharing of threat information regarding infrastructure, and the response to cyber attacks on critical infrastructure. Therefore, the establishment and implementation of cybersecurity policies for critical infrastructure could be quickly accomplished with active cooperation without significant opposition or extended negotiations.
Lastly, cybersecurity governance in the ROK involves the public sector, the private sector, and the military, with the National Security Council as the control tower. There is a cooperation framework covering the three sectors. In particular, the NIS, an intelligence agency, has been central since the beginning of the nation’s cybersecurity policy establishment in the early 2000s, and the Joint Cyber Threat Response Team (representing the three sectors) is also under the NIS. The NIS viewed cyber attacks as a national security issue and actively collected threat information. On the other hand, the illegal collection of information using software by the NIS has led to its role in cybersecurity being contentious and led to public distrust.
Over the years, the ROK has taken several measures to prevent recurrences of the damage caused by cyber attacks.
After the 2003 internet disruption, Korea established a mandatory system for constant backup.33 The central government introduced a backup solution near the end of 2003, and it became mandatory for local governments in 2004. After other incidents, countermeasures were focused on the development of defense technologies, such as a proactive response system for DDoS attacks that was established after the 2009 DDoS attack, as well as improving a rapid cyber treatment system for zombie computers following the 2011 DDoS attacks.34
In response to these incidents, the government also acted to strengthen information protection in the private sector. In January 2004, the government revised the Information and Communication Network Act to make safety checks of information protection mandatory.35 The safety check evaluates whether every provider of information and communications services and every business operator of agglomerated information and communication facilities complies with the government’s information protection guidelines to prevent intrusion incidents in the private sector.36 There were complaints from target companies regarding the burden of costs, but the government saw this as an opportunity to raise the security awareness and security level of internet-related companies overall.37
Given Korea’s extensive history with DDoS attacks, the network environment is well equipped with a DDoS attack response system. DDoS response solutions are installed throughout the network infrastructure, and regular simulation exercises are conducted to prepare for attacks. Also, the government distributes DDoS attack response guides to the public and private sector actors and provides blocking measures tailored to the type of attack.
In addition, the network separation system was introduced in central government ministries in 2006 and the network separation of the public sector was completed in 2010. The necessity of network separation in the private/financial sector emerged after the DDoS attacks in 2011, and the scope of the network separation regulations was expanded. The regulations are defined in relevant legislation by sector. According to this legislation, the public sector should separate internal and external networks, and companies, which have more than 1 million personal information records, should separate the computer network where personal information is stored.38 It further states that financial companies should block internet access from their business computers, and ensure that computers for system operation, development, and security are on separate networks.39
Cyber attacks can occur anytime. So thorough preparations are carried out when hosting large-scale events at the national level, such as the Olympics. Despite that, when Korea hosted the Winter Games at PyeongChang in 2018, information systems related to the Olympics were damaged and most services were stopped due to an attack by an advanced persistent threat (APT) that had been carefully prepared for a long time.
The organizing committee for the Olympics considered the possibility of a cyber attack during preparation and strengthened security when designing the system. In addition, high-intensity hacking exercises, penetration testing, training, information protection pre-diagnosis, and personal information impact assessments were also conducted.40 In particular, the committee installed a very advanced defense system against DDoS attacks, which are the main type of attack. The committee organized and operated on an information protection system that cooperated with government departments such as the NIS, the Cyber Police Agency, and Cyber Command, as well as an advisory organization composed of private companies and white hat hackers.
A quantitative evaluation of the effectiveness of various cybersecurity policies of the Korean government has not been conducted. However, the results of an annual survey targeting public organizations and private companies in charge of information protection show that the number of cyber attacks that cause damage is decreasing, and activities for preventing and responding to accidents are being strengthened.41
The National Intelligence Service annually surveys the number of cyber attacks in the public sector targeting 130 central administrative agencies.42 According to the survey, the number of cyber attacks that caused damage is continuously decreasing even though the number of cyber attacks is increasing.
The Ministry of Science and Technology also annually surveys more than 9,000 businesses to establish and implement information protection policies.43 According to this survey, the ratio of system and network security check and backup of important data has been increasing (see figure 18).
The ROK’s experiences could be useful for other countries to refer to when establishing cyber attack prevention and response systems. Until the last few years, the ROK has been a follower, adopting the cybersecurity policies of other advanced countries, but it is increasingly positioned to become a pioneer.
Due to Korea’s tendency to focus on defense technologies and the fact that different agencies are responsible for different aspects of cybersecurity, the need for a systematic, national cybersecurity strategy was not given high priority. For years, there was no long-term plan or high-level coordinator capable of overseeing an effective national cybersecurity initiative. Instead, after each attack, narrow policy changes were adopted to improve incident response, based on the analysis and experiences with the recent attack.
But preparing to fight the last war does not provide better defenses against new and different threats. And in Korea, it has often seemed that the new policies were aimed primarily at responding to public sentiment and public opinion and showing that policymakers had learned from the postmortems after the incidents.44 Policies and institutions focused only on recovery and defense from severe attacks, not on fundamental improvements to the legal base or addressing related constitutional issues. The establishment of a basic cybersecurity law or strategy to specify essential elements for cybersecurity functions for national security purposes has not been promoted, leaving uncertainty about the direction of cybersecurity policy at the national level, who coordinates cybersecurity policy, the roles and responsibilities by each department, the authority and resources available for rapid response and prevention against cyber threat, and the scope of information collection and sharing.
After recognizing the problem, the NIS, which has a key role in cybersecurity in public institutions, promoted the Basic Cybersecurity Act in 2016, but it was not enacted due to disagreements with other ministries about their roles and responsibilities, and public distrust of the intelligence agency. It wasn’t until 2019 that the government established the first National Cybersecurity Strategy.
The NIS also promoted the preparation of related legislation but encountered opposition and ended up focusing on countermeasures. Time after time, there would be a push for new, far-reaching legislation, but the process would get bogged down, and momentum was lost. This is because there was a culture of “development first, security later,” since IT development was judged to be more important, and policymakers had questions about whether cyber attacks were really serious or threatened national security. Worse, because the various strategy documents were not useful, after each new attack, the narrowly focused policy solutions and systems created resulted in a patchwork of overlapping policies and systems.45
Finally, there has been no response to instigators of cyber attacks. Through government-led investigations, the reason and background of attacks are evaluated, and if the culprit is North Korea, it is ROK practice to have it be publicly attributed. There are few cases of public attribution in the event of attacks from other countries. Indeed, to date, in cases unrelated to North Korea, no prosecution or separate sanctions have been imposed on the attackers. For example, South Korea has not publicly confirmed that the PyeongChang Olympics incident was due to a cyber attack originating from Russia. Nor have there been cases of public attribution or sanctions to help deter frequent cyber attacks originating from China.
There are various reasons specific to Korea for the absence of public attribution.46 One is that the reliability of the results from investigations has been low because the technology to conduct these investigations has not been available in Korea and/or the Korean government has been unwilling to hire foreign computer forensics experts. Another is that there is simply no standing procedure in Korea for public attribution, especially when it comes to foreign actors other than North Korea. However, the ROK has shown willingness to take countermeasures in national cybersecurity strategy and is currently making efforts to identify culprits and prepare procedures for disclosure to deter cyber attacks.47
How Korea Can Improve Cyber Security Policy and Data Resilience
Korea clearly needs to overcome gaps in its cybersecurity policy in light of these challenges to its current policy approach and governance. Indeed, recent cyber attacks show the strengths and weaknesses of Korea’s current cybersecurity capabilities.
The government needs to begin by changing its posture both to deter and to respond to future cyber attacks. Even though Korea has been the target of several large-scale cyber attacks, an analysis of twenty years of major cyber attacks reveals no evidence of active responses against the attackers. In the case of an attack that caused anxiety to the entire nation, such as the attack on KHNP, there was no diplomatic response or action taken to respond to the attackers at all, even though a government joint investigation team analyzed the malicious code and Internet Protocol data used in the attack and found the source.
This should change in the future. The Korean government has announced its willingness to actively respond to attacks that undermine public trust. And the goal of ensuring a proactive deterrent against cyber attacks was included in the National Cybersecurity Strategy in 2019. As part of this, the government announced plans to actively respond to all cyber attacks that infringe upon national security and national interests by concentrating national capabilities and acquiring effective means to analyze causes of cyber attacks and identify the culprits.
Such a proactive response to cyber attacks would be welcome: it can contribute to raising awareness of cybersecurity among decisionmakers—in both the public and private sectors—and to raising the priority of cybersecurity when crafting future policies.
Second, it is necessary to expand the government’s effort to address issues of economic and security threats caused by cyber attacks. The Korean government’s established policies focus on political and military security in response to cyber attacks. However, cyber attacks on Korean cryptocurrency exchanges to steal financial profits are increasing, as demonstrated by the recent attacks on of Coinrail (2018), Bithumb (2018), and Upbit (2019).48 In addition, it was revealed that Korean universities were included in the cyber attacks when China took over IT systems used for marine science and technology research at three universities around the world in 2019.49 Chinese cyber attacks to steal intellectual property from other countries are also increasing.50
This shows that although cyber attacks are not equivalent to war or armed attacks, they can still cause billions of dollars of economic harm or lead to the theft of critical intellectual property in peacetime, threatening Korea’s economic security. For this reason, policymakers need to focus on economic, political, and military security in tandem. They must recognize that the internet and the cloud have become a space for military operations and that better defenses against cyber attacks are needed. In Korean cybersecurity policy, expanding the priorities for securing economic security and establishing cybersecurity policies that consider economic security seem to be ways to pursue effective benefits in establishing a cybersecurity framework.
Ultimately, Korea needs a national cybersecurity risk management system and many more concerted efforts to strengthen cybersecurity resilience in national public institutions. According to research by Specops Software, Korea ranked fifth in the world in terms of the number of cyber attacks between 2006 and 2020, and these attacks are occurring more and more frequently.51 Korea is also highly dependent on electronic government, ranking second in the UN’s 2020 Global E-government Development Index.52 Since cyber defenses will never be bulletproof, it is necessary to build tolerance and strengthen resilience against cyber attacks in order to prevent and respond to cybersecurity at the national level.
Backup systems are essential to minimizing damage. A key part of improving cyber resilience of national public institutions is expanding the introduction of cloud solutions through the Cloud Service Assurance Program (CSAP). The CSAP supplies public institutions with private cloud services that have verified safety and reliability, and it has a similar purpose to the United States’ Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program. The scope of certification covers all cloud services for public institution work and services including assets (such as ICT systems, facilities, and so on), organization and management, operations, and support services. There are fourteen categories of control for certification, including cybersecurity policy and organization, supply chain management, and incident management.
If the cloud service is expanded in government agencies, high-quality security solutions (such as antivirus, intrusion detection, and response systems) can be made available at a low cost. In addition, strengthening the security of cloud computing systems can prevent damage and destruction of important data, which will contribute to resilience. This will help the Korean public sector ensure a more rapid response in the event of a future cyber crisis.

11 The NCSC investigates the causes and attack vector of cyber incidents that occur in the national computer network and shares information to prevent and respond to cyber attacks in the public sector.
12 Most critical infrastructure in the ROK is owned by public institutions and is operated by the government. In fact, the Korean government continued to promote the privatization of public enterprises to enhance the competitiveness of public institutions, and as a result, some infrastructure such as finance, power generation, telecommunications, airports, and transportation were privatized. However, due to various problems such as resistance from stakeholders and lack of information on the privatization of public enterprises, partial privatization happened rather than absolute privatization, and in many cases, the ownership could not be transferred. As a result, the company manages and operates the infrastructure, but the government budget is injected and the government can intervene in the management. As a result, the government is leading efforts for infrastructure cybersecurity, but management and operating companies are also actively participating in the development and implementation of government policies.

45 In order to address the lack of a single point person to lead responses to cyber attacks, the NCSC was designated as a “control tower” by the National Cyber Crisis Comprehensive Countermeasures (2009) and the National Cyber Security Master Plan. Nevertheless, criticisms of the lack of coordination continued until the National Cyber Security Comprehensive Measures (2013) designated the Blue House National Security Office as the “control tower.”
46 Public attribution in its most elementary form is the blaming of a particular actor as responsible for a cyber incident. It can be done by a variety of actors, including governments, companies, and NGOs. But public attribution by the government is mainly considered in this chapter because government action to assign blame is an inherently political act. Florian J.

Jodi, we have known each other for a few years now and have had the pleasure of working on a few project together. You are an accomplished and talented Improv actor, workshop leader and the artistic director of the Improv group Bake This. In our radio play, you had exactly one line as the mother of a little girl who was waiting in line to ask Santa for roller skates. Aside from being able to watch your daughter Silvia amaze all of us, what stood out for you as you watched the rehearsals and recording?
I absolutely loved the positive energy in the room. Jim, the director, was just so excited and practically jumping up and down with joy the entire day! That made me smile. A lot of my theater, workshop and Improv life has been unpaid, or underpaid. After years of working for exposure, I’ve finally gotten to a point where I can really pick and choose what I charge and what projects I take part in without expectation of payment.
I have always wanted to be more involved with Entity, and the only things which have been holding me back are my responsibilities as a parent, the distance from where I live to the rehearsal spaces and main theater, and my slight fear of learning lines. Therefore, when I saw that Entity was holding auditions for a radio play, I immediately thought, “no memorizing lines … my daughter Silvia could audition too … I don’t have to travel too far on a daily basis…I really miss the theater experiences I had as a child …. let’s do this!!”
It is really fun, people are so incredibly supportive, and there is nothing like the feeling you get having been a part of such a production! It is like being one of many puzzle pieces that helps create a beautiful picture in the end.
It’s quite interesting that the Christian tradition of Santa Claus and the Jewish celebration of Hanukkah both began in a deeply religious context. In a previous post, we briefly discussed the role of St. Nicholas in the formulation of the Nicene Creed. What was the historical origin of the “Holiday of Lights”?
Hanukkah, or Chanukah (both spellings are acceptable) is indeed a holiday of lights. More than 2000 years ago, the Greeks had banned all Jewish rituals. King Antiochus tried to make Jewish people bow down in front of a statue of him that had been put in the Jewish temple, and pray to Greek Gods, but they refused.
I have read that studying the Torah in this time was often punished by death. Children, determined to study the Torah, would hide in caves. If they were discovered, it would mean that they would be killed. The children would therefore take a dreidel with them. If they were caught by the Syrian-Greek soldiers, they would pretend to be playing a game with it *.
After a successful 3-year revolt against the Greeks in the Maccabean War, the Jewish people attempted to rebuild their temple, which had been destroyed. Thanks to a miracle, oil that normally would have only lasted a day, burned bright for 8 full days, giving them enough light and time to clean and rebuild. This is why the Hanukkah festival lasts for eight days and why light is really important in the celebration.
The giving of gifts became a way to both honor St. Nicholas’ generosity and to celebrate Christmas as the time of the “greatest gift.” What are the Jewish traditions concerning gifts, especially to children, during Hanukkah?
I really don’t think it is possible to speak of “Jewish traditions.” There are many different religious movements within Judaism, and each with their own traditions. I can only answer from my perspective which is that of a cultural, non-religious Jew, meaning that I did not go to Hebrew school, nor was I Bat-Mitzvaed. I did, however, live in a part of Pittsburgh that was 75% Jewish. We had school days off for Jewish holidays and streets and stores were decorated for Hanukkah just as they are for Christmas.
The gifting traditions vary greatly between countries and even within families. Many North American Jews give their children small gifts on each of the 8 nights of Hanukkah. My family has a very special tradition. We put out all the wrapped gifts shortly before the first night of Hanukkah. Each gift has a little clue to help the children guess what might be inside. It might also warn them to save the gift for a weekend, as school nights don’t allow for much playtime.
What role do gifts play during the Hanukkah celebration? Are they used to encourage good behavior and diligence in the weeks leading up to Hanukkah as in the Christian tradition?
No…I have never heard of Hanukkah gifts being used to encourage good behavior the way that Santa or Niklaus do. In some traditions, children receive a small amount of money (Hanukkah gelt) and are encouraged to give part of it to others who are more needy.
In our family, we play the dreidel game, which is a gambling game, and we play it with chocolate coins. In the end, no matter who wins or loses, we split the chocolate up evenly, so everyone can enjoy!
Candy canes, chocolates, and pastries are favorite indulgences at Christmas time. Are there special treats that your family can look forward to during Hanukkah?
Fried foods are a HUGE part of Hanukkah. Being that the original story is about oil, and the miracle of it lasting for 8 days, oil plays a central role. We fry potato pancakes called Latkes and eat them with applesauce or sour cream. Many make fried donuts called Sufganiyah as well.
Santa Claus is portrayed today to young children as a jolly old man with a white beard. It is usually only when the children get a bit older that the deeper meaning of the “spirit of Christmas” becomes understandable. Is there a comparable “simple” version of Hanukkah that young children first experience?
Hanukkah means ‘rededication’. I’ve always looked at it as a chance to rededicate my love and attention to my family. Every night at sundown, we light a new candle to celebrate the 8 magical nights. Each evening, we say or sing a short prayer in unison, in Hebrew. After the prayer, in my family, it is tradition to hug each of the people celebrating and wish them individually, “Happy Hanukkah!” This has not changed for us over the years, but of course the messages that come along with it, “The importance of family, miracles do happen, enjoy every moment, fight for your rights”, become clearer and more meaningful with age.
The celebration of Advent and the significance of each candle, together with the way that it is lit, is an important part of the ritual in Christian households. What are the comparable meanings and rituals in lighting the Hanukkah candles?
A Hanukkiah, is a menorah or candelabra with 9 branches. The candle in the middle is known as the Shamash, the helper candle, and is always used to light the other candles. We like to think of it is the good luck candle. Each night, you first light the Shamash and then continue from right to left (as Hebrew is read), one candle for each day, until the final evening, when all 9 candles on the menorah will be glowing beautifully.

* “The dreidel, known in Hebrew as a sevivon, dates back to the time of the Syrian-Greek rule over the Holy Land—which set off the Maccabean revolt that culminated in the Chanukah miracle. There is a Hebrew letter embossed or printed on each of the dreidel’s four sides. These four letters form the acronym of the phrase Nes gadol hayah sham, ‘A great miracle happened there’—a reference to the Chanukah miracle that transpired in the Land of Israel. Learning Torah was outlawed by the enemy, a “crime” punishable by death. The Jewish children resorted to hiding in caves in order to study. If a Greek patrol would approach, the children would pull out their tops and pretend to be playing a game. By playing dreidel during Chanukah we are reminded of the courage of those brave children.” – Chanukah FAQs

Why is it so difficult to take time off in our day and age? While there are exceptions, it seems that many people in the Western World find it difficult to consistently take a sabbath. Now I know some will immediately say that the sabbath was for the Jewish people and we no longer have to follow all those Old Testament regulations. But I am not talking about taking every Saturday off as the Torah describes, rather, I am using the word “sabbath” to denote the very real and binding principle going all the way back to creation where mankind was commanded to rest one day in seven. Of course, this was reiterated in the fourth commandment and also by Jesus in Luke 6:1-5.
On a Sabbath, while he was going through the grainfields, his disciples plucked and ate some heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands. 2 But some of the Pharisees said, “Why are you doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath?” 3 And Jesus answered them, “Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him: 4 how he entered the house of God and took and ate the bread of the Presence, which is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and also gave it to those with him?” 5 And he said to them, “The Son of Man is Lord of the sabbath.”
Notice what Jesus does not do and say. He does not say that the sabbath is no longer binding in any way because He is present. Rather, He seems to indicate that the sabbath observances were always supposed to point to the one who gave them, “the Lord of the sabbath.” This would indicate that the sabbath is still a good thing. More to the point, Jesus never, either in this passage or any other, repudiates the creation principle of resting one day in seven. But, of course, we quickly recognize that Christians struggle just as much as anyone in this regard and often completely ignore this principle from Scripture. But before getting to the spiritual aspects of this problem, what are the pragmatic, cultural elements that make it so difficult to take off the proper amount of time? There are at least four cultural reasons that many of us find it difficult to take the proper amount of time off from our jobs:
- Jobs are insecure. We feel we must work harder to keep our job security. In the Western World especially, there is so much competition that many will change jobs multiple times and sometimes even change career paths multiple times in their working lives. The days of my grandfather working the same job for over forty years and then retiring are long gone.
- There is an expectation that the more money you make the more hours you must put in. If you make more money than someone else, the odds are you are expected to work more hours than that person. As our work-load increases, our amount of rest decreases. This reality is seen in a recent study which found that we sleep 1-2 hours less, on average, than people did sixty years ago.
- We can work from anywhere because of technology, and so we work everywhere. We all know the pull of checking work emails when we are supposed to be relaxing. Most employees feel compelled to keep their phones on at all times and constantly check their emails – even on their days off. While some of this is self-induced, some of this pressure can also come from the employer.
- Perhaps most significantly, we have linked our identity and meaning with our work. We encourage young people to decide what they want to be and then we judge their entire lives on whether they accomplish that one goal. This cultural emphasis can be easily seen when we are introduced to a new person. After finding out their name, one of the next questions will almost always be: “What do you do?” Of course, what we mean is “What do you get paid to do?” Why do we feel the need to ask this question? Because we tie a person’s identity and value to their jobs. We do this with others and we do it with ourselves. This is why we might realize we need more rest but are completely unable to get more rest. We have so linked our meaning and self-worth with our job performance that we cannot shut off our phones, emails, or our minds long enough to get sufficient rest.
For these reasons, among many others, the full physical rest we require alludes us. Probably everyone has experienced those nights where they are physically tired but cannot get to sleep because their mind is churning far too fast. What we need it not simply more physical rest, but deep spiritual rest. Often, only if we can find spiritual rest will the physical rest follow.
If this is the problem and these are some of the contributing factors, what is the solution? That will be the subject of the next blog post. Stay tuned.
It should be noted that the Jewish people were required to take off more than the 52 Saturdays that occurred each year. They also had feast days and celebrations as well as being a more agricultural nation in which there was much more ebb and flow to the seasons of work.
For further considerations, see the book RESET, by David Murray. Kindle edition: Loc 707.

Websites aren’t for nerds or big businesses anymore!
More and more “regular” professionals and small business owners are focusing on building a web presence to keep a professional leg up on the competition.
Before you say, “I don’t have the time or technical skills” to create a website, let me assure you that there are several companies that offer easy to use drag and drop templates to create a professional-looking site in minutes. And for less than $75 a year.
Alright, so now you know that it’s quick, easy and cheap to build a website the big question is: Do you really need one? Yes.
And here’s why:
1. To Control The Information Available About You Online
When was the last time you “Googled” yourself?
Take a few minutes to see what others see when they search for you. You are probably listed on several “people search” sites that you never registered for (such as Healthgrades.com or MyLife.com) or sites that you did register for but don’t necessarily want everyone to see (like your wedding site from TheKnot.com).
It’s time to take matters into your own hands and decide exactly what information searchers will come across first when people look for you. You can add a bio, photo, preferred contact information or any additional you want. It’s your website; you’re in control of the information.
2. To Market Your Own Private Practice
Do you already have a private practice or are you considering starting a private practice? Whether you have a free-standing brick and mortar practice or treat your own private clients “on the side” building a web presence should be an important part of your marketing plan.
With the yellow pages quickly becoming extinct, people are searching for therapy services online. Make sure you have a website so that your future clients can easily find and set up an appointment with you!
3. Share Information With The Community
Having a website to share information on therapy techniques, discoveries, recommended strategies, suggested treatment tools, etc. is a fantastic way to give back to the community. Parents, family members and professionals are constantly looking on the Internet to find ways to improve lives.
If you’re not interested in having a website that showcases YOU consider starting with a blog as a vehicle to share your insight and expertise.
4. Showcase Your Resume
More and more people are securing a domain name using their own name and using it to post their resume. While yes, it is important to have paper versions to hand out in interviews, in this digital age, having a resume that is easy to direct people to is very impressive.
Remember to add a professional headshot or images – even videos- of yourself in a professional setting. Most online resumes are just like the paper versions (i.e. dull.) Adding images can help viewers envision you, which builds rapport right away.
5. Portray a Professional Image
I used to think of having a business card as a major identifier that someone was in fact “in business.” Nowadays, having your own website gives you not only a leg up on the competition but it is still quite impressive to the general population.
Having your own website tells potential clients, referral sources or employers that you’re serious about what your doing and proud of your accomplishments.
And how cool it is to say, “Check out my website…”

Approximately 80% of all arrested youth are diverted from detention and supervised in the community through probation, specialty courts and other community-based diversion efforts. Justice-involved youth have greater psychiatric impairment, substance use and sexual risk behaviors than their non-justice-involved peers. Family-based interventions to address mental health, substance use and recidivism have been successful in improving these youth outcomes; but the lack of integration of HIV/STI prevention is notable given the co-occurrence of substance use, delinquency and sexual risk-taking behaviors among justice-involved youth. Moreover, emotion dysregulation may be an important and understudied underlying construct of these co-occurring risk behaviors for justice-involved youth. Study participants were 47 caregiver-youth dyads enrolled in a juvenile drug court program. As part of a pilot efficacy trial, dyads were randomized to a 5-session family-based integrated substance use and HIV/STI prevention intervention that relied on affect management strategies for risk reduction or an adolescent-only psychoeducation condition matched for time and attention. Data collected at baseline and 3 months post-intervention suggest that a family-based integrated affect management substance use and HIV prevention pilot intervention may lead to justice-involved youths’ enhanced motivation to change their marijuana use, decreased marijuana use and decreased risky sexual behavior over time. Future research is required to replicate these pilot trial findings and should also examine family-level mediators and moderators of treatment response, particularly with respect to HIV prevention efforts for these youth.

About Quarantaine Cafe
Quarantaine Café is an online café
Here’s how i solved the problem
So many things has changed since the corona virus. I was teaching from home.
During the May holiday we stayed home.
It was a beautiful spring with so much sun… and we were still staying home.
King’s Day was also during the Holiday and normally I would be out and about, and at the end of the day head for a cafe to celebrate.
Annnnnd it’s was birthday in April… where I would at least meet up with friends and share drinks.
I was missing connection…
So what to do?
Indulge in Netflix? TikTok? Insta? Decided instead to do what I most love to do, which is to create… create what I was missing, and play while learning.
I launched the Beta version in April on my birthday and invited people to celebrate with me in the online cafe, called “Quarantaine Café”, (the site is in Dutch) where people can drop by, see and chit chat with each other, meet new friends and share your favourite music with the whole cafe…. all online.
Quarantaine Cafe is created with Divi WordPress, BuddyPress & Jitsi Integration… all with love.
This is the Betaversion launched on my Birthday.
From the Beta version to an updated version.
I launched the beta version of Quarantaine Cafe on my birthday in April.
The beta version had a login page and different cafe options. With some great feedback, I quickly realized that it was way too much work for the user to do just to enter the cafe! So that had to end – I simplified it. Now it is only one click on a button and they are in the online Quarantaine Café. Creating a fun and seamless experience is paramount. And now, I have already met some wonderful people who have stopped by for a hello and chat with others. Very exciting.
In May I got a phone call from the journalist Tom Grosfeld, from the Dutch newspaper Het Parool, for a little interview. Here is the article. So excited. The article got also shared in the Dutch newspapers Algemeen Dagblad, Eindhovens Dagblad and the Gelderlander.
Article in Dutch newspaper ‘Het Parool’
“This morning I come across the Dutch online newspaper ‘Algemeen Dagblad’, that a teacher / artist in Amsterdam has started a quarantine café in the cyber ether. I had a great time with a lot of fun and curiosity with a dozen people, some of whom kept breathing gently behind their virtual lens cap. The eccentric in me had a blast, giving attention, tasting and receiving from sympathetic strangers who, like me, want to satisfy social hunger with eye contact and storytelling. We all have fun, compassion and attention to each other. Fast forward to what deeper layers of our shared human existence and how I have been meaningfully and warmly healthy here in Arizona for 34 years. And so also in this beautiful virtual room today! Thank you Maike, I’ll hope see you soon in the digital pub again!”
See you in the online quarantaine cafe!
Get In Touch
Always happy to hear from you!

On 17th August 2016 at the Tinsley Islam Centre, Sheffield more than three hundred ladies attended an event held under the banner of MWL to mark the Independence Day. There were fun, games, activities for all.
Pakistan Independence Day is a landmark celebration which was celebrated with traditional fervor. The money raised from the event went to the local centre in which we hold our weekly Halqat-e-Durood.
The event commenced with Sister Nasreen Akhtar, MWL Tinsley Dawah Secretary, reciting Tilawat. Then all the children gathered to sing along to patriotic songs, namely, "Lab pe aati hay dua", "Dil Dil Pakistan" & the all-time favourite "Jeevay Jeevay Pakistan".
Every child had a Pakistan flag in his/her hand and waved their flags on the anthems.
Sister Abida Parveen, a member of the local community, gave a short speech on the history of Pakistan with the main focus being on Pakistan Independence Day.
The speech was concluded with the Pakistan National Anthem. Various stalls of food, clothes and accessories were opened to the public.
There were various activities for the children including mehndi, face painting and a bouncy castle. Minhaj Women Leagues Sheffield and Rotherham attended the event. Overall the event was a success and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it.

Bye bye, Centaur!
|Soon, Nariman Point will say goodbye to one of its most beloved and long-standing landmarks — the blue Centaur on top of the Air India building.
The logo was adopted after Air India International was formed in 1948. Denoting Sagittarius the archer — which is also a constellation and thus a Zodiac sign — the logo was adopted by the airline to personify speed.
It was meant to be a rotating logo, but has long since stopped working. And after Air India’s merger with Indian Airlines in June 2007, the new Indian has adopted a flying swan with the Konark Chakra as its emblem.
This logo will now replace the Centaur on top of the building.
Jitendra Bhargav, public relations officer of Air India says, “We were waiting for the monsoon to end to replace the logo. The work of dismantling the old logo will start soon.”

It can be very exciting to start a new job. However, progressing in your job can often be slow since you are still learning and getting to know the new job. Fortunately, there are ways you can fast-track your success.
If you want to be successful, you need to know what it takes to do well in your job. The best way to find out is to simply ask questions. You can talk to coworkers or even your employer and ask them about what your role requires, the expectations your employer has, the policies you need to follow, etc. Asking questions will allow you to quickly learn the ropes of your positions and begin doing your job successfully. Additionally, asking questions can demonstrate your eagerness to your employer which can help you impress them.
Get Friendly with Successful Coworkers
Making friends with coworkers can be a great way to help you feel comfortable in a new workplace. Of course, making the right friends can also bolster your success. As you begin your new job, keep an eye out for who the most successful coworkers are. Your successful coworkers can be a valuable resource that you can use to help you create your own success. By making friends with them, you can learn from them and adopt the strategies they use to do well in their job. You can also see a positive impact in your work simply by being around successful people. You are more likely to imitate what’s around you, so working with successful people can urge you to be successful as well.
There are many ways you can succeed in your new job, and one important thing to do is get organized and stay organized. To do this, you should map out some goals for yourself. Once you understand your position, you can make goals to help you stay on track and even go above and beyond expectations. Staying organized also includes making a clear schedule. This will allow you to keep track of all your responsibilities and stay on top of them. Proper organization is essential to doing well in any job.
When starting a new job, it can be overwhelming. You have a lot to learn and grasp and often it can take quite some time before you get into a steady rhythm. However, it doesn’t need to be a long process. The right strategies can help you fast-track your success so you can start performing well at your job.

Research into cardiovascular variabilities intersects both human physiology and quantitative modelling. This is because respiratory and Mayer wave (or 10 s) cardiovascular oscillations represent the integrated control of a system through both autonomic branches by systemic haemodynamic changes within a fluid-filled, physical system. However, our current precise measurement of short-term cardiovascular fluctuations does not necessarily mean we have an adequate understanding of them. Empirical observation suggests that both respiratory and Mayer wave fluctuations derive from mutable autonomic and haemodynamic inputs. Evidence strongly suggests that respiratory sinus arrhythmia both contributes to and buffers respiratory arterial pressure fluctuations. Moreover, even though virtual abolition of all R-R interval variability by cholinergic blockade suggests that parasympathetic stimulation is essential for expression of these variabilities, respiratory sinus arrhythmia does not always reflect a purely vagal phenomenon. The arterial baroreflex has been cited as the mechanism for both respiratory and Mayer wave frequency fluctuations. However, data suggest that both cardiac vagal and vascular sympathetic fluctuations at these frequencies are independent of baroreflex mechanisms and, in fact, contribute to pressure fluctuations. Results from cardiovascular modelling can suggest possible sources for these rhythms. For example, modelling originally suggested low frequency cardiovascular rhythms derived from intrinsic delays in baroreceptor control, and experimental evidence subsequently corroborated this possibility. However, the complex stochastic relations between and variabilities in these rhythms indicate no single mechanism is responsible. If future study of cardiovascular variabilities is to move beyond qualitative suggestions of determinants to quantitative elucidation of critical physical mechanisms, both experimental design and model construction will have to be more trenchant.

Background: Temozolomide (TMZ) is widely used in Europe and the United States. For the safe use of TMZ in the Japanese, as representative of Asians, the pharmacokinetics of TMZ was investigated in Japanese patients and compared to that in Caucasians.
Methods: The pharmacokinetics and safety of TMZ following oral administration of 150 and 200 mg/m2 per day for the first 5 days of a 28-day treatment cycle were investigated in six Japanese patients with relapsed gliomas.
Results: The time-to-maximum plasma concentration (tmax) of TMZ was about 1 h and the elimination half-life of terminal excretion phase (t 1/2lambda z) was about 2 h. A dose-dependent increase was observed in maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) and AUC, while values for t 1/2lambda z, apparent total body clearance (CL/F), and apparent distribution volume (Vz/F) were independent of dose. After administration for 5 days, changes in pharmacokinetics and accumulation were not observed. The plasma 5-(3-methyl)1-triazen-1-yl-imidazole-4-carboxamide (MTIC) concentration changed in parallel with the TMZ plasma concentration, and the Cmax and AUC of MTIC were about 2% of those of TMZ. The pharmacokinetic parameters of TMZ and MTIC in Japanese patients in this study were comparable to those previously determined in Caucasian subjects. Adverse events occurred in all patients, but toxicities were mostly mild or moderate, and continuation of administration was possible by adjusting the dose and by delaying the start of the next treatment cycle.
Conclusion: The pharmacokinetic and safety profile of TMZ in Japanese patients was comparable to that in Caucasians. The treatment regimen used in Europe and the United States will be suitable for Asian patients, including Japanese.

Mathematicians at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology shocked the math world with the announcement that 1 equals 2. This discovery has wide implications for math, science and commerce. MIT Professor Lou Snut provided United Press the following proof:
The shock waves from this remarkable discovery have spread beyond the halls of academia and are affecting the lives of people all over the world. At a local McDonald’s restaurant, we interviewed Ms. Bee Gass who had just finished paying for her double Big Mac, extra large fries and chocolate shake. “I can’t believe that McDonald’s has been giving me the wrong change all these years.”
Mathematicians are scrambling to resolve this problem. Possible solutions include returning to the Roman numeral system, outlawing algebra and counting on your fingers. This last suggestion is gaining momentum since counting on your fingers is considered a very reliable method. One possible problem with this approach is that people are now reluctant to count using 1 and 2, which have lost all credibility. “We are considering returning to an even earlier counting system which has none of the disadvantages of the current logically inconsistent method, ” said Professor Snut. Holding up his fingers, he counted, “this little piggy went to market, this little piggy stayed home, this little piggy had roast beef, this little piggy had none…” In this system, you might say “I got this little piggy had none tickets to the Lady Gaga concert” or “I’d like this little piggy stayed home eggs over easy”.

Location: Weekly Seminar, Zoom
Title: Pipeline Interventions
We introduce the pipeline intervention problem, defined by a layered directed acyclic graph and a set of stochastic matrices governing transitions between successive layers. The graph is a stylized model for how people from different populations are presented opportunities, eventually leading to some reward. In our model, individuals are born into an initial position (i.e. some node in the first layer of the graph) according to a fixed probability distribution, and then stochastically progress through the graph according to the transition matrices, until they reach a node in the final layer of the graph; each node in the final layer has a reward associated with it. The pipeline intervention problem asks how to best make costly changes to the transition matrices governing people’s stochastic transitions through the graph, subject to a budget constraint. We consider two objectives: social welfare maximization, and a fairness-motivated maximin objective that seeks to maximize the value to the population (starting node) with the least expected value. We consider two variants of the maximin objective that turn out to be distinct, depending on whether we demand a deterministic solution or allow randomization. For each objective, we give an efficient approximation algorithm (an additive FPTAS) for constant width networks. We also tightly characterize the “price of fairness” in our setting: the ratio between the highest achievable social welfare and the highest social welfare consistent with a maximin optimal solution. Finally we show that for polynomial width networks, even approximating the maximin objective to any constant factor is NP hard, even for networks with constant depth. This shows that the restriction on the width in our positive results is essential.
This is based on joint work with Sampath Kannan, Aaron Roth, and Juba Ziani.
Eshwar Ram Arunachaleswaran is a PhD student at the University of Pennsylvania, advised by Professors Sampath Kannan and Anindya De. He is interested in problems from Algorithms and Complexity, with a focus on Algorithmic Fairness.

When you’re in the midst of buying a property, it can feel like money is going out left, right and all ways in between. This is one of the most common realisations I have from buyers who are on the property buying circuit for the first time, when things start getting to the pointy end of their purchase.
YEP, IT CAN FEEL LIKE A DRAIN ON THE OLD FINANCES, BUT THE REALITY IS, YOU KNEW THIS WAS COMING.
It probably just didn’t feel real until the deposit had to be paid, and then the building and pest inspection needed to be booked; the solicitor asked for their fees upfront and last but not least, the big chunk at settlement to finalise the purchase was handed over, and wallah! now you’re feeling broke, exhausted, depleted, BUT HUGELY EXCITED all at the same time!
Because now, you’re the proud owner of your very first home.
Despite the sudden drain on what feels like a lifetime of savings, the first home buyers who I have worked with seem to move past this phase pretty quickly and begin focussing on life in their new home, rather than all the money that went out of their account to buy the place.
But what happens when you haven’t planned the finance side correctly?
What happens when (heaven forbid) you miscalculate what you need money wise and all of a sudden, you’re having to find extra funds (somehow) to complete the purchase.
Lets run through a few of the unlikely things buyers miss when they go to buy their first property.
1.FIRST CAB OFF THE RANK IS STAMP DUTY
is, but don’t know how to calculate it correctly. Remember, stamp duty is paid ON TOP OF the purchase price of the home. You can always google “Stamp Duty Calculator” and plug your purchase information into one of the many online calculators available, but I always recommend having the figures confirmed by a solicitor before you move ahead.
2. Foreign buyers.
Have you ever heard of the Foreign Investment Review Board? If you’re not an Australian citizen or resident and you’re trying to buy your first home, you may have to jump through some extra hoops under Foreign Investment legislation when it comes to buying property in Australia. Additional stamp duty and restrictions on the type of property you can buy come into play if your purchase is subject to foreign investment review. Again, look up the links at Foreign Investment Review Board Australia or talk to a solicitor about where you stand when it comes to Foreign Review.
3. Additional Searches.
You might have budgeted your solicitors fees but did you allow enough funds in the kitty for searches? What many first time buyers don’t realise is that searches are an ADDITIONAL cost on top of the solicitor’s professional fees. Some solicitors have a “standard searches” component included in their fee, but many do not, and if you want additional searches, you may need to pay extra. This can easily run into a few extra hundred dollars coming out of your pocket.
There may be some additional property searches your solicitor recommends you do, depending on the type of property you decide to buy, so having the funds readily available for all necessary searches is critical if you want to get your purchase right and perform due diligence correctly.

DuPont recently announced the opening of its cellulosic biofuel facility in Nevada, Iowa, with a ceremony including Iowa Gov. Terry Brandstad and many other officials. This biorefinery is reportedly the world’s largest cellulosic ethanol plant, with the capacity to produce 30 million gal per year of clean fuel that can offer a 90% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions as compared to gasoline.
The raw material used to produce the ethanol is corn stover, which comprises the stalks, leaves and cobs left in a field after harvest. The facility intends to demonstrate that non-food feedstocks from agriculture can be the renewable raw material to power the future energy demands of society at a commercial scale. Cellulosic ethanol will further diversify the transportation fuel mix just as wind and solar are expanding the renewable options for power generation.

Until now, laser tattoo removal has been very painful and ineffective, often causing scarring, “ghost” tattoos and other side effects for patients while rarely removing all ink colors. TattX™ is the next generation in laser tattoo removal which will revolutionize tattoo removal in North America. The TattX technology has been proven to remove all ink colors on any skin type, including large and complex tattoo designs, with very little pain. TattX delivers on the promise of a safe, gentle and effective way to finally remove those unwanted tattoos completely. Whether you’ve outgrown your tattoo or just want to make room for better art, TattX™ is simply the most advanced solution to removing unwanted tattoos on the market. While other laser systems often require ten or more treatments, the TattX technology provides gentle and complete removal in a fraction of the treatments.
TattX™ is a new tattoo removal process that gently, effectively, and completely removes black and color tattoos as well as: permanent make-up, port wine birth marks, age spots, café au lait pigmentations, and hard to remove dirt “tattoos” from injuries. TattX is an FDA-approved technology that uses the Asclepion TattooStar Effect Laser to remove tattoos and other skin lesions without scarring, bleeding, or changes in skin pigmentation.
To remove the tattoo with TattX, a specific wavelength of the color of ink is matched with the same laser wavelength and applied to it. This particular wavelength is quickly absorbed by the targeted ink, turning the tattoo ink clusters into white grey micro-particles. The split particles are metabolized in the epidermis and in the lymph system.
TattX™ is different from other tattoo removal lasers because:
1. Much less pain- the proprietary fiber optic bundle creates an even distribution of the energy pulse that targets JUST the ink, and doesn’t damage the skin or skin pigmentation which results in a much gentler process.
2. Effectiveness- the exclusive TattX™ process micro-blasts JUST the ink encapsulated in the skin. As a result, your body’s natural metabolic activity is able to more quickly remove the ink particle debris. This translates into fewer treatments than the current laser tattoo removal technology on the market.
3. Complete Results- the combination of full-spectrum tattoo color removal, absence of scarring and no long term pigmentation damage results in a full and complete restoration of the skin to its original state.
Since the process is non-ablative, meaning it does not break the skin and there is typically no bleed, there is very little side effect or pain, so recovering from tattoo removal is quick and requires little to no down time. It is recommended to wait 6-8 weeks between treatments to allow the body to naturally remove the inks.
So are you ready to safely and gently remove your tattoo? Give us a call today and schedule your COMPLIMENTARY consultation! Consultation and procedure can be done same day!

Big data for catastrophes sounds like an oxymoron. It’s precisely because of the lack of historical data that actuaries have left catastrophe modeling and loss estimation to external third parties specializing in model development. The catastrophe model vendors have developed proprietary techniques for extrapolating from the limited data using statistical analysis, scientific opinion and expert judgment.
Executive SummaryCatastrophe modeling is the antithesis of big data analytics. Hurricanes and earthquakes that produce major losses are rare phenomena, so there's not a wealth of scientific data for estimating the frequencies of events of different magnitudes in specific locations. But when a significant event occurs, the tens of thousands of resulting claims provide the big data surrounding catastrophes, and this data is very valuable for improving catastrophe models. Here, Karen Clark explains how insurers can leverage their own claims data for more credible catastrophe loss estimates and for competitive advantage.
But when a major event occurs, there’s a wealth of claims information that can be used to improve the models. In particular, claims data can be analyzed to fine-tune the damage functions in the vulnerability module—one of the four primary model components. In order to fully leverage this valuable information, insurers require the right tools and processes in place.
Historically, insurers have not put too much emphasis on the efficient collection and analysis of their catastrophe claims data for modeling purposes because it was not possible to directly leverage this information in the third-party models. At best, insurers could give their loss data to the model vendors to help the vendors improve their generic or “industry average” damage functions. In general, the data available to the modeling companies has been limited in scope and the resolution and quality has varied widely.

All our cheeses are produced and are aged in our dairy mainly with raw milk coming from the pastures of the Territory and other areas of the Ligurian-Piedmontese Apennines
close to us.We are very attached to seasonal cycles and we try to keep artisanal production practices solid and alive, but we also love to look at the tomorrow and in our cheeses, tradition
and innovation find a meeting point. Attention to a genuine, ethical and quality raw material is an indispensable condition in order not to betray
the philosophy with which we carry out our work. Working mainly raw milk, from pasture to your
tables, the entire supply chain is always strictly controlled and monitored.
The Montébore Slow Food Presidium is undoubtedly the most well-known and sought-after cheese, but it is only one of the products of the dairy.
We also produce other cheeses linked to the history of the territory in which we find ourselves, plus others the result of conscious experimentation and savoir faire that we have acquired over time, thus creating cheeses such as Cadetto (di Mont ébore), Ruè, Mongiardina, Mollana della Val Borbera and Grattone, which takes the name from the
surname of our family. We also produce soft and delicate ricotta, blue cheeses and delicious goats.

Legitimacy does not flow from the barrel of a gun, from the banking industry, nor from governments, or such is the feeling of the average Bitcoiner. However, it’s nice when the technology behind the world’s first cryptocurrency gets some respect in traditional banking sector.
Top Banking Software Vendor Utilizing Block Chain
Today it was announced that one of the top banking software providers, Infosys, is considering the implementation of the block chain into its core product, Finacle. Finacle is the front-end to bank databases used by employees to manage accounts, open accounts, and so forth.
Last year, the company was rated as having the best online banking suite in terms of customer experience. Presumably, the integration of blockchain technology into the back-end will make the company more efficient, producing faster, more accurate results than traditional database technologies have been able to produce.
There have widely been murmurings throughout the financial world, now that it appears Bitcoin is here to stay, that the real value of the technology is the block chain. Many Bitcoiners feel sullen about such sentiments, believing them to be counterintuitive, since the reward in bitcoins is what promotes the securing of the block chain by the miners.
It is unclear at present what a private implementation of a block chain would look like, or how it would be secured sans mining. It can be assumed that if the only goal is to keep the ledger as it is meant to be, this can be done without the massive effort that is required to mine bitcoins. Simply having all the computers in the network agree that amounts and totals are correct could be all it would take.
Bitcoin is open-source software, so unless Infosys builds their block chain set up from scratch, their implementation will be available to the world after they implement it later this year.

Cornwall's most informed surf reports and information
Cornwall's location, jutting straight out into the Atlantic Ocean, makes it a magnet for swell. Combine this with its milder climate and a plethora of excellent beaches and you have the UK's premier surf destination. Until very recently Cornwall was pretty much unchallenged by anywhere in the British Isles for the quality of surfers it has produced over the years. This is gradually changing as spots in the North East, Northern Ireland, South Wales and Scotland gain in reputation, but it is hard to imagine any of these places have the unique combination that makes Cornwall the surf capitol of the UK.
To further cement the county's reputation it is the location for one of the biggest pro-surf competitions in Europe. The Fistral Boardmasters (as it is currently known) has been running under various names for over 10 years, attracting some of the biggest names in the surfing world.

ACT, American College Test is one of the most popular standardized tests in the country. It is often taken as an alternative to SAT and is accepted across thousands of colleges in the US. Is it better than SAT? Will it be the right test for you? Well, let’s find out.
ACT Vs SAT
ACT and SAT are both accepted by colleges at the time of admissions. So, you can take any or both of them to get a seat in your preferred college. What makes them different? ACT and SAT have different testing formats. ACT is based on the subjects and topics that you have studied at school while SAT tests your IQ along with your academic performance.
There is no saying which one is better for college admissions. You have to take a call based on crucial points such as your dream college’s admission criteria, your comfort level with the exam format, and your ACT testprep.
5 Reasons to Take the ACT
Every year, thousands of students take the standardized college admission tests and it won’t be wrong to say that all of them must have compared the ACT exam with SAT and made a choice according to their preferences. So, if you think you are the only one who is having a hard time making a choice, you are wrong. ACT and SAT are both popular and most of the colleges in the country accept both their scores.
Here are 5 reasons to take the ACT that will help you decide with a clear mindset.
- College Admissions
The first and foremost reason to take the ACT is college admission. Its scores are accepted in colleges and universities in the US and even in some 225 colleges outside the country. When you have the scores in your name, you can rest assured that you will get admission to a college of your choice. Of course, how high you go with your scores decides the range of colleges that you can target.
- School Curriculum Based
ACT is based on the school curriculum. This means, ACT tests you for your college readiness by testing the lessons learned in School. It does not require you to study anything else other than your school lessons. And that saves you a lot of time and effort. If you perform well at school, you automatically do well in the test.
- Convenient Format
ACT does not make it compulsory for you to take the writing test. You can decide to take it or skip it based on the admission requirements of your preferred colleges. If they need a writing score, take the test or else you can focus on the other sections and do well in them. Furthermore, ACT test does not have negative marking for wrong answers. This gives you a chance to guess the answers to questions you are not sure about. Who knows you may get lucky and score some extra points with just guessing?
- Multiple Attempts
Like SAT, ACT can be taken multiple times and you can choose which score you would like to share with the colleges. This point gives you a chance to improvise your score and your chance of getting into the top colleges. You can take ACT a total of 12 times. A study suggests that most students take it 2-3 times before seeking take admission to a college.
- Scholarships and Career Planning
ACT scores are commonly considered for scholarships by colleges and universities. Needless to say, top scores get the highest scholarship. So, your ACT score can help you save on your tuition fees. Isn’t that an awesome reason to take ACT exam while prepping for college admissions? ACT also has a career planning section that guides you in the selection of future subjects, majors, and more.
Several colleges in the US have made ACT test-optional, that is, they will consider your application even if you have not taken the ACT. But, experts believe that you should not bypass this test because the test-optional rule may be removed once the pandemic settles down. Furthermore, your ACT score will always come in handy when applying for scholarships and other financial aids.
So, these were the top 5 reasons to take the ACT test on October 23, 2021. Yes, it is test-optional at the moment, but consider taking it to improve your chances of finding a seat in top colleges in the country. It is like having extra cash while traveling to a new place, you never know when you will need it to turn around a situation in your favor.

Licenses are distinctive. A license is a seal of acceptance from the organization that issued it, and, of course, distinct licenses have unique standards. For case in point, an Australian gambling license may employ a entirely various established of rules than the licenses issued by the Malta Gaming Authority or the Uk Gaming Commission.
All licenses serve as an added safety layer. All licenses indicate substantial benchmarks for data stability, which is why all accredited casinos use encryption algorithms and anti-fraud tactics to assure the optimum possible degree of knowledge protection.
The a lot more licenses, the superior. There are really a several respected licensing jurisdictions ‘the Kahnawake Gaming Commission, the United kingdom Gaming Commission, the Malta Gaming Authority, the Gibraltar Betting and Gaming Affiliation, the Isle of Gentleman Gambling Supervision Fee, and a several more’. Nonetheless, it’s generally harder to comply with the demands of diverse licensers. Thus, global casinos with various licenses are usually a lot more responsible.

Can the Bulls make it a hat-trick or will it be third time lucky for Sharks?
Share this article:
CAPE TOWN – The 2022 Currie Cup kicks off next weekend in a revamped South African domestic rugby season, which will in future run from September to the end of June.
The Currie Cup will be played from January to June going forward.
And while the Bulls won two titles in a single year in 2021, they won’t necessarily be the outright favourites to make it a hat-trick this season… for the provincial competition.
The Bulls have brought in a heavyweight mentor in Gert Smal, a former Springbok and Ireland assistant coach, who has also been in charge of the Stormers, Western Province and Border, and coached at a Japanese club.
The Bulls were able to bolster their squad for the previous two tournaments with some big-name signings such as Duane Vermeulen, Morné Steyn, Johan Goosen and Marcell Coetzee, but with the URC being played at the same time this season, they will have to rely on their impressive crop of youngsters to carry them through the Currie Cup.
Having lost the last two finals, the Durban side may look to juggle their significant resources carefully between the Currie Cup and URC in order to bring a trophy to Kings Park.
They have invested heavily in their squad over the past 12 months, with big-name Springboks such as Siya Kolisi and Bongi Mbonambi joining the likes of Lukhanyo Am and Makazole Mapimpi on the east coast.
With that kind of depth, their Currie Cup team should be a formidable outfit as well, with someone like Scotland international flank Dylan Richardson probably turning out in this competition when the likes of Kolisi, Phepsi Buthelezi and Sikhumbuzo Notshe are available for the URC side.
The Sharks have also chosen a separate coaching group for the Currie Cup, with former Bok prop Etienne Fynn partnered by ex-wing JP Pietersen.
The Lions have showed encouraging signs in the URC already under the new coaching staff on Ivan van Rooyen’s watch, with Jaque Fourie, Ricardo Loubscher and Albert van den Berg as the assistants.
The Johannesburg-based union have also gone the route of a specialist Currie Cup coaching group, with Mziwakhe Nkosi as the head coach, supported by
Wessel Roux, Philip Lemmer and Wynand Ellis. But while their big guns will feature mainly in the URC, Nkosi will be calling on the stars of the victorious Under-20 side that won the national title last year to make an impact in the Currie Cup.
They will look to play exciting, attacking rugby, although they will be lacking the experienced campaigners that the Bulls and Sharks will be able to call on.
The Cape side had a difficult start to the URC, but will hope to put a competitive team together that could be considered Currie Cup title contenders.
Veteran coach Jerome Paarwater has been roped in once more to take charge of the WP side, with Stormers boss John Dobson concentrating on the URC tournament.
While the likes of Evan Roos, Salmaan Moerat and Angelo Davids will be the young bright lights in the Stormers set-up, Paarwater will look to bring a new brigade of junior stars through their first full senior season.
Flyhalf Sacha Mngomezulu has already made quite an impression in Cape Town, while the pack won’t need to take a step back to the other teams’ forwards, with flank Marcel Theunissen and hooker JJ Kotze having already featured at senior level.
The Cheetahs are usually the best equipped of the provinces to cause an upset against the franchise teams, while the Pumas and Griquas showed last season that they won’t be pushovers either.
Cheetahs coach Hawies Fourie has formed a formidable squad in recent months, with the likes of Bok centre Frans Steyn, full-backs Clayton Blommetjies and Cohen Jasper, as well as tough forwards like Rynier Bernardo and Aidon Davis around.
With the Bloemfontein side not part of any international competition at the moment, they will want to prove a point by reaching the semi-finals at least.*

To help educate children, budding scientists, and others about nanotechnology, Dr. Moon Kim of UT Dallas could have published a simple e-book, "but that wouldn't have been fun," he says. Instead, he collaborated with Sun Kim, a science writer and journalist, and members of the Arts and Technology program at the university, to create a complete multimedia experience. "Hello, Nano" was launched on Apple iTunes and is now available as an iBook for the iPad. It will be available for the Kindle and other tablet devices in the future.
“Hello, Nano” blends technology and simple language to create a fun, interactive, and informative experience. More than just looking at words and pictures on a page or screen, readers can swipe, tap, pinch, and expand images to see the finer details and understand how and why nanotechnology is used in medicine, advanced materials, and electronics. (See a video on YouTube.)
A cheerful cartoon character named ‘Nano’ gives simple explanations throughout each chapter, but more serious readers can follow his lead or choose to launch into more detailed explanations illustrated by video(s) and multimedia images. The goal was to make the information "visually appealing but not overwhelming." says Moon. Originally published in Korean as a paperback, the book was named one of the top science books of the year in 2010.
As Director of the Science and Beyond Lab at UT Dallas, Moon uses microscopy - specifically TEM - to investigate nano-electronic materials, nano-scale devices, and solar cells. He also has a "keen interest" in nano-robotics. His lab uses a JEOL JEM-2100F field emission TEM and the JEOL ARM200F atomic resolution microscope.
His vision is anything but nanoscale. He has extended the learning experience by offering three-week internships in his lab and at UT Southwestern Medical Center. This brings in students who learn firsthand about nanotechnology research. In addition, he has hosted JEOL seminars for fellow TEM users.
Moon sees a very real need for the type of outreach that "Hello, Nano" provides. This is his third book co-authored with Sun Kim, and they co-founded 2Lux Media, Inc. “Lux” means light in Latin, and “2Lux” refers to their aspiration to illuminate important but hard to understand areas of science and technology for both kids and general readers."
"The reason we do so much of our research is to make everyone’s lives better, and we need public support for that. As a professor, education is a big part of my job. Educating the general public is part of that. So the more that both kids and their parents understand and support what we do, the better it is for everyone.”
Read more on how the University of Texas at Dallas is using JEOL instruments for their investigations.

John Lewis Partnership has snapped up Tesco’s 1 million ft2 warehouse at Fenny Lock in Milton Keynes.
It has secured the facility on an 11-year lease to meet growing customer demand for online orders. Since the start of the pandemic, online sales have grown from 40% to over 60% of John Lewis’s total sales.
Andrew Murphy, Partner and Executive Director of Operations for the Partnership said; “This one-of-a-kind distribution centre represents a fantastic opportunity to power the continued growth of out online website, ensuring that we can keep pace with customer demand – both for our products and for our wide range of fulfilment and delivery options.
“We will invest in the site’s automation capability to support future growth and, over the next two years, we will recruit 500 new Partners to work at the distribution centre, which we plan to start operating during summer 2022.
“We will use the Fenny Lock site to fulfil customer orders for fashion, small home furnishing items and technology products. The proximity to our Magna Park campus will enable us to combine more customer orders, reducing both the number of packages we create by approximately one million per year, and the number of lorries on the road, helping us to meet our target of being net zero carbon by 2035.”
The warehouse, will be the retailer’s second largest distribution centre after its 2 million ft2 campus just four miles away, at GLP’s Magna Park Milton Keynes site.
Last year Logistics Manager reported that the property, known as Tectonic 620, was reoccupied by Tesco temporarily as it sought to mitigate short term demands put upon its supply chain due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Despite the re-occupation the property remained on the market in the long term before being let to John Lewis.
The property has a floor plate of some 617,393ft2 but the addition of fully fitted mezzanines provides an excess of 1 million ft2. It has 13.75m eaves and is partly racked with a 19,800 pallet capacity. It has 80 dock and seven double height dock doors with parking for 300 HGV and 585 cars. Letting agent was JLL.
John Lewis is investing £50m in its online website and the its app, with a further £100m+ committed to growing its online growth over the next five years.
The company has also signed a three-year lease agreement for a 300,000ft2 distribution centre at Bardon, Leicestershire to be operated by Clipper Logistics. It will have the facility operational in time for Black Friday this year.
John Lewis currently uses ten distribution sites across the UK to fulfil online and shop orders: Magna Park sites 1, 2, and 3 in Milton Keynes, Blakelands in Milton Keynes, Brackmills in Northampton, Grange Park in Northampton, Corby in Northamptonshire, Redditch in Worcestershire, the Waitrose National Distribution Centre in Milton Keynes, and an ancillary site in Northampton where it processes customer returns and technical repairs to reduce the number of items which get sent to landfill.

Vein Center FAQs
If you have any other questions, please contact us. If you have a medical
emergency, please dial 911.
How long before I can resume normal activities?
You will be able to walk immediately after the procedure. You may return
to work on the day after the procedure. You will be wearing prescription
stockings, which will apply gentle pressure to the veins that were treated,
in order to fully close them. These stockings must be worn for 3 weeks.
During this time, you should take it easy and refrain from heavy exertion,
such as running, skiing, weight lifting.
How much pain is involved?
Very little pain is involved. During the procedure, we will administer
local anesthesia injections, similar to when a dentist numbs your gums
before working on them.
What causes Bulging veins?
Veins begin to bulge when the valves inside the veins give out and begin
to leak. This allows blood to "leak" back down to your legs
and feet when you stand up, due to the effect of gravity. Over time, this
large volume and pressure of blood in the leg veins causes them to bulge
and become "varicose".
How long after the procedure should I see results?
Typically, you should see improvement within 2-4 weeks, but results do
vary from person to person.
What are the risks and side effects?
Vein procedures are extremely safe and risks/side effects are rare. Risks
and side effects include bleeding, infection, scarring, nerve damage,
persistent numbness, skin pigmentation.
Does insurance cover the procedure?
Varicose vein procedures are covered by Medicare and most PPO insurance
plans. You are advised, however, to check your individual plan. Spider
vein treatments are considered cosmetic and generally are not covered
by insurance plans.
Percentage of success verses failure?
Most patients (greater than 90%) have significant improvement of their
symptoms and varicose veins after completing a treatment course. Note
that, depending on the severity of disease, often more than one session,
and sometimes multiple sessions, are required.
What is the long term satisfaction?
In general, long term results are good. Keep in mind, however, that varicose
veins and chronic venous insufficiency are chronic conditions and do have
a tendency to recur in other areas of the leg. If you have varicose veins
now, then you will always have a propensity for getting them again in
the future. Also, varicose veins tend to be hereditary.
What type of procedure is needed?
There are several types of procedures that we perform at our vein center.
These are: Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA); Ultrasound-Guided Chemical
Ablation, also known as "Foam Sclerotherapy;" Ambulatory Phlebectomy;
Sclerotherapy. The type of procedure you will need will largely be determined
by the results of a complete Ultrasound Vein Mapping Study. This ultrasound
study, done in our Vascular Lab, examines the deep and superficial veins
in your legs and assesses for blood clots and for venous reflux (leaky
vein valves). It gives important information about the location and severity
of your vein disease.
Why do I need to wear the stocking post procedure?
After the veins are ablated, gentle constant pressure is required to keep
them closed as the healing process occurs. This is accomplished by prescription
compression stockings. Without this constant pressure achieved with the
stocking, the veins may not completely close, and the varicose veins may
not all go away. The typical strengths of compression hose used after
vein ablation are 20-30 mmHg or 30-40 mmHg. Knee-high or thigh-high hose
may be required, depending on the location of the treatment.
What is pigmentation and why does it sometimes occur after vein procedures?
When the veins are treated, blood often leaks out of them and into the
surrounding tissue and skin. This gives an appearance much like a bruise
(It is, in fact a bruise). The bruised area gets its brown/purple color
by the bilirubin in the blood cells. Your body eventually digests away
and removes this pigment. The rate at which the pigmentation resolves
differs from person to person, but can take anywhere from weeks to months.
Pigmentation is particularly notable in light-skinned individuals. Excessive
sun exposure in the weeks following your vein treatment can cause increased

The “For the People Act” (also known as H. R. 1) is a multifaceted pre-eminent bill that effectively restores anti-corruption reforms within the currently scandalous electoral system. The “For the People Act” was primarily introduced in 2019. The bill failed to pass through the Republic-led Senate at the time, however, with the Democrats’ current dominance, chances of the bill being passed are significantly higher. This bill could potentially modernize voter rights, abolish extreme corruption and gerrymandering (the process of altering a voting district in favor of one party), and increase focus on important issues. Enforcing imperative voting rights and increasing accessibility to ballots would essentially make a larger number of American citizens’ voices heard. Interferences such as dark money (funds from unknown sources that manipulate the results of elections), and weak enforcement of current laws could perpetually be eliminated with the H. R. 1. If passed, it could possibly be a game-changer for democracy in the United States.
Why exactly should people care about this? Well, H. R. 1 has the power to transform the United States’s democracy, and is the most effective anti-corruption reform that could be approved in generations. While it cannot solve every single problem within the complex electoral systems, it has solutions to numerous critical issues, and policies that could redefine society. If ballots are more accessible to citizens, more diverse groups have the ability to participate, and when people of all communities have the opportunity to vote, we offer them the chance to be well represented. Not only does it fix current voting discrepancies, but it benefits future elections.
It’s important to understand the implications of different policies. The For the People Act promises citizens voting rights reforms that are exceedingly significant, and the H. R. 1 institutes Automatic Voter Registration. Automatic Voter Registration allows Voter Registration Forms to be sent out to all eligible electorates by default, with the exception that an electorate could opt out of the procedure. The United States’s current system makes registration encumbering, which is why many people do not actually vote. With opt-out voter registration, more people have the platform to vote, which empowers and amplifies the voices of American citizens.
Voting by mail is also a part of the comprehensive strategy. This allows citizens to send in their forms without waiting in long lines. This is a secure way of handing in a ballot, and it prevents cyberattacks that overturn votes. The paper ballots that are physically mailed in are counted in one central location, and the entire process is overseen by a judge. To ensure that a vote is secure, the For the People Act also cogitates the option of Same-Day Voter Registration. This is crucial because it can safeguard a vote from cyberattacks, or mistaken voter purges (voter purging is the process of cleaning out voter rolls, and this process deletes names from registration lists when people pass away, move, or become ineligible due to complications. However, there can also be an error in data collection, and this can unethically erase an eligible voter’s name off the registration list, prohibiting the electorate from voting). This would allow an electorate to both register and vote on Election Day. Voter Rights Reforms in the H. R. 1 not only make registration easier, but also increase accessibility to ballot boxes. Additionally, the H. R. 1 necessitates each state to create a secure online portal for voter registration, rectification, or withdrawal. The For the People Act also reestablishes the right to vote for previously incarcerated individuals that have completed their sentence. Additionally, the H. R. 1 will mandate a minimum of 15 days in-person early voting.
Big money and dark money unfortunately play a dominant role in current politics, however the H. R. 1 works on eradicating it with its DISCLOSE Act. Any organizations that are a part of political campaigns, or are involved in political activity and are being funded, are obliged to disclose their donors if the donation amount is more than $10,000. Apart from these efforts, H. R. 1 also includes small donor public financing. These donations can amount to a minimum of $1, and a maximum of $200. These donations can be made by regular eligible citizens that want to make their political influence further supported. Another benefit of this is that, for every dollar donated, the federal government multiplies it by 6! Therefore, a donation of $20 finally sums up to $120. Conversely, when millions and billions of dollars are flooded in by elite people, the elections can be unjustly influenced by only a few powerful individuals and this tacitly leads to underrepresentation of minorities.
There are three prime reasons this is a positive addition to campaign financing. Firstly, this empowers an array of diverse candidates that cannot connect themselves to ethical big money donors. Secondly, it comes from the people of America, and the size of the donations required per person isn’t huge. When it comes from the people of America, we know that they are donating for purposes they truly believe in, allowing fair representation. Thirdly, the program is not funded by taxpayer money! It is funded by extra charges on criminal penalties of corporate offenders.
H. R. 1 also introduces ethical screening processes.To confirm a presidential and vice-presidential candidate’s clean record, candidates must undergo a number of ethics checks. The primary requirement is that the candidates must disclose their tax returns for 10 years prior to their running. Moreover, members of the Congress will not be allowed to settle sexual harassment accusations with taxpayer money. The Government of Ethics will also be permitted to introduce “lobbying registration requirements” so that special interests cannot hire lobbyists that specifically influence politicians in morally reprehensible ways.
These are merely a few of the solutions and policies this 800-page document suggests. The H. R. 1 was already passed by the House of Representatives on March 3rd of 2021. The Senate must now pass it to make it effective, and throw out barricades embedded in electoral structures. Unfortunately, there is a filibuster that is delaying Senate action on this bill (which puts it in slight danger of failing). Nevertheless, citizens need to push for immediate action and eliminate the unnecessary filibuster. You may text the word RESIST to the number 50409 and tell them that you want the H. R. 1 to be past, and you want to eradicate the filibuster. Visit weall.vote/forthepeople to urge Senators to support the For the People Act. Citizens need to pass this bill right now because it affects the welfare of the people of America, and democracy. With more transparency, ethics, and representation, this bill reestablishes the depth and importance of a government that is “Of the people, By the people, and For the people”.

"In just one week we had become a virtual law firm servicing clients from our homes, thanks to the first-rate support Richard and the Seriun team have provided, allowing us to continue business as usual during these difficult times.
They worked around our team with early starts and late finishes to get the job done. The partners and I have been extremely impressed and incredibly grateful for the support the Seriun team have delivered."
Karl Mannering | Finance Director, Myerson
Established in 1982, Myerson Solicitors provide first class legal advice to hundreds of clients worldwide. The firm has grown organically and now has an expert team of over a hundred, and still remains independent today.
Going from strength to strength, in 2017 they relocated into the prestigious Grosvenor House in Altrincham Manchester, and they were crowned Medium Law Firm of the Year at the Manchester Legal Awards in 2018.
The global pandemic of 2020 changed working arrangements dramatically, forcing businesses to come to a standstill – if they could not support a working-from-home environment. Myerson needed to keep business running as usual to ensure they continued to deliver their essential client services.
Myerson’s current remote environment was designed only for a small number of users, and they did not have enough resources to allow their entire team to work from home.Download case study
Myerson required a whole new infrastructure to be created that was flexible to enable scalable remote working. To ensure business continuity during the build process, we installed a temporary server with high capacity – capable of allowing a significant increase in remote working – so the team could continue operations from their homes, while we designed and implemented the new infrastructure.
The process involved the installation of three new servers with larger storage and an upgrade to server 2019. We also deployed Remote Desktop Services (RDS) which provided secure and easy access to business applications and resources that could not previously be accessed at home.
For greater security, we set up cloud-based Azure site recovery to allow data replication. Additionally, we enabled two factor authentication (2FA) for remote desktop to secure the connections from home.
We also helped Myerson achieve Cyber Essentials Plus accreditation, which demonstrates their commitment to protecting their cyber security systems, while keeping their customer data safe.
The new tech infrastructure has enabled the Myerson team to work from home. It is also delivering a higher quality, more streamlined performance, both in and out of the office. In turn, productivity has naturally increased.
Azure provides high availability and increased security – protecting against potential data loss and ensuring access to current data, while decreasing the liklihood of downtime – therefore promoting business continuity.

At Shore, our Christian vision of wellbeing is to cultivate all members of the community to flourish. As Jesus said,”…I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full”. (John 10:10) When a community enjoys life to the full, God is glorified and there is a deep love of serving each other.
Shore values and promotes wellbeing as it is at the core of what we wish to achieve. It involves the wider Shore community including students, staff, parents and old boys.
At Shore we believe that faith, character, virtue and the moral dimension of life is central to human flourishing and that human beings make more sense of life in community than they do as individuals.
Our School provides a sense of belonging to students, staff, parents and old boys. The School will nurture its members to strengthen its community and provide an environment where positive wellbeing can be achieved and valued.
Shore considers wellbeing to fall into the following domains as provided by the Australian Psychology Society.
• Physical Wellbeing: the ability to carry out daily tasks with vigour
• Social Wellbeing: the ability to have satisfying relationships and interactions with others
• Emotional Wellbeing: the ability to control emotions and express them appropriately and comfortably
• Spiritual Wellbeing: a guiding sense of meaning or value in life
• Intellectual Wellbeing: the ability to learn, grow from experience, and utilise intellectual capabilities
• Vocational Wellbeing: having interests, employment, volunteer work or other activities that provide personal satisfaction and enrichment in daily life
These domains provide a framework for the School to assess its competency in addressing each area of wellbeing.
Shore has worked extensively with Dr Greg Wells in developing a model for wellbeing based around five key elements:
Connecting wisely relates to the broad but inter-connected domains of emotions, relationships and meaning. Wellbeing is most likely to occur when a person is connected to their own emotional state, to a caring community, and to a set of beliefs or principles that provide purpose and meaning in life.
At Shore our Christian beliefs and practices are foundational to all that we do and we are intentional in providing opportunities for our community to ‘connect’.

In addition to these classroom activities, a number of other wellbeing initiatives are used to support the boys. Some of these include the use of mindfulness activities, healthy canteen choices, opportunities during break times to be physically active and a pastoral approach that fosters strong interpersonal connections between the boys and the staff.

Home goods retailer Tuesday Morning filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Wednesday and plans to shut a third of its nearly 700 stores, saying the coronavirus pandemic has crippled its business.
The Dallas-based company joins a growing list of retailers that have landed in bankruptcy court during the crisis, including department store chains Neiman Marcus, Stage Stores and J.C. Penney, and apparel maker J.Crew.
“The prolonged and unexpected closures of our stores in response to COVID-19 has had severe consequences on our business,” CEO Steve Becker said in a statement.
Tuesday Morning said it plans to permanently shut about 230 stores and exit Chapter 11 in the early fall with roughly 450 locations. It added that it plans to attempt to renegotiate a “significant” number of its existing leases with landlords during the restructuring process.
For more business updates sign up for newsletters from CNBC.
Tuesday Morning said it has secured $100 million in debtor-in-possession financing from its lenders to help it through bankruptcy. As required by its DIP agreement, it said it must obtain a commitment for up to $25 million of additional financing, which it is currently negotiating.
The company said it has reopened more than 80% of its stores that had been shuttered during the pandemic, with over 7,300 people returning to work. The number of workers who will be affected by the bankruptcy and store closures was not announced.
More retail bankruptcies are expected to be on the way, as many businesses’ sales have shrunk drastically during the crisis, with stores forced to shut and consumers holed up at home.
The chairman of mall owner Related Cos., Stephen Ross, told CNBC on Tuesday: “You are going to have such a flood of cases going to the bankruptcy court. ... And these aren’t really the type of bankruptcies that were induced by bad practices. It’s really all driven by the pandemic.”

Baking brings us SO much joy, anchoring, processing and grounding. We have been baking and cooking our way through quarantine and we are not stopping anytime soon.
There is something so soothing and cathartic about baking.
We can watch the lizards and dogs tear through our gardens yet we can still create something from scratch with our hands. Knowing that we can physically manifest something for ourselves and our families to eat brings us so much comfort. The smell of freshly baked breads, cakes and buns is one of the most calming things in quarantine right now.
If you have a lot of time on your hands and you’re craving comforting, gooey, baked goods with a spicy Ayurvedic twist, this is the time to make the ultimate Yoga Girl® Cardamom Buns!
One positive thing about quarantine is that we all have the time to bake! We have the time to put in the preparation, time to wait for the dough to rise, time to put our heart in our hands and create loving, nourishing food for ourselves and our loved ones.
As we have time to slow down and to make healing foods for ourselves, take the time to put some love into the nourishing food you are creating to sustain yourself and your family.
Listen to your favorite song, playlist or mantra while prepping and cooking. Set the loving intention to nourish yourself and your family with the comforting, healing food from the heart of your cozy kitchen.
One of the most liberating things about staying at home is the fact that we are indulging in cooking and creating delicious, heartwarming food. We love to add spices to increase healing and balance as well as add a colorful, fragrant element to the dish.
Cardamom is an Ayurvedic healing spice, it supports digestion, the liver, kidneys, and heart.
Integrating spices into your baked goods is a great way to incorporate healing properties to indulgent foods. Cardamom also helps to increase metabolism and activates digestion!
Cardamom has a spicy, sweet, soothing and calming fragrance. It helps to balance all of the Doshas and bring the energetic body into balance. Drop into the process with this yummy, sweet and oh-so-satisfying recipe!
Vegan Cardamom Buns from the Yoga Girl® Kitchen
- 1 packet yeast
- ½ cup melted vegan butter
- ½ cup coconut sugar
- 2 cups plant-based milk (almond, hemp, oat, etc.)
- 5 ½ cups flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup softened vegan butter
- 2 Tbsp cardamom powder
- 1 cup coconut sugar
The Garnish: (Simple Syrup)
- ½ cup coconut sugar
- ½ cup water
- Sprinkle a packet of yeast over the melted butter, sugar, and milk, and let it sit until it’s weird looking and the yeast is activated (you’ll know when the mixture starts to bubble).
- Add in flour and salt and mix until the mixture is combined. You might start with a spatula and then move to combining by hand. Then, cover the dough with a towel and leave in the warmest part of your house to rise for 1 hour.
- While the dough is rising, prep the cardamom filling. Take the softened butter, cardamom powder and 1 cup sugar and mix together in a large bowl. This will make a lot of filling, but - bonus - it spills out onto the tops of the buns, creating a gooey, buttery, spicy and sweet pre-garnish.
- After one hour has passed, preheat the oven to 350 F (200 C) and roll the dough out into a ½ in. (1cm) thick rectangular shaped sheet. Spread the filling on top of the dough, then roll and slice into 24 equal pieces. You can use muffin tins or place the rolls on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until nice and golden (32 mins if you’re like me and you are watching #blackAF on Netflix and end up forgetting to take them out).
- While the rolls are in the oven, prepare your simple syrup by combining 1/2 cup water + 1/2 cup coconut sugar in a medium saucepan over low-medium heat (not too high otherwise it could burn). Stir regularly until sugar is completely dissolved, then take off heat to let cool. Be sure to let it cool a bit before brushing onto warm rolls otherwise it will just slide off.
- When you take the buns out, garnish with a brush of your newly made (but not hot!) simple syrup then add a sprinkle of ground cardamom and sugar!

Downward Facing Dog is a great pose except if you have wrist, knee or other similar issues. There are ways to modify Down Dog. During Chair Yoga we stand at the back of the chair and step back into a position similar to a table, feeling an extension from our heads to hips.
We can also modify Down Dog by leaning onto our forearms instead of our hands.
Check out the following website for some great pics and descriptions.
The YouTube video below guides us to head placement while practicing Down Dog using a chair.

I enjoy yoga as it brings peace to my life. Teaching yoga has brought joy to my life and given me a chance to encourage others in learning yoga.

Berlin, January 1st 2020 – After a challenging 2019, we greet the new year with revitalized roster, hungry to claim back our place in the Counter-Strike world. Bolstering our active line-up moving forward will be Florian “syrsoN” Rische and Nils “k1to” Gruhne.
After the events of the last quarter, our coaching staff around Tobias “tow b” Herberhold & Fatih “gob b” Dayik as well as team captain Johannes “tabseN” Wodarz sat down to analyze our situation, and find a solution to our consistency and in-game issues so we can head into the 2020 tournament season with a team capable of delivering results.
The solution starts with the addition of two domestic talents who have already proven themselves as a force to be reckoned with. Florian “syrsoN” Rische, who is undoubtedly Germany’s best awper will be joining us to man the big green gun, alongside his former teammate Nils “k1to” Gruhne, whose aggressive rifling as a playmaker will be a testament to our conviction of becoming a world-class team.
With their arrival comes the departure of Owen “smooya” Butterfield and Johannes “nex” Maget from our line-up. Both Owen Butterfield and Johannes Maget have played a key role in our competitive efforts & successes over the past years, which we thank them for from the bottom our heart.
Besides the line-up, we also make changes to our CS:GO coaching team. Fatih “gob b” Dayik will take over the role of Head of CS:GO, once again supporting the team with his wide breadth of knowledge and experience. Fatih will be replacing Nikola “LEGIJA” Ninić, who will be departing from the organization. We would like to thank Nikola for his hard work as both a player and part of our coaching staff. Our achievements together are undeniable.
Statement Daniel Finkler, CEO
It’s our ambitious goal to strengthen our team and build a consistent and steadily improving roster, which is able to attack the top ranks in 2020. Based on the experiences from the past periods, Tobias “tow b” Herberhold, Fatih “gob b” Dayik as well as team captain Johannes “tabseN” Wodarz analyzed all results and performances and decided to change our existing roster to have a fresh start into the new year. We fully support their choices and I am more than happy that we were able to convince syrsoN and acquire k1to. Both players showed their tremendous potential during the last tournament season and kept improving continuously. Welcome to BIG!
Statement Tobias “tow b” Herberhold, Head Coach:
The rumours of the last weeks turned out to be true. We happily announce our latest additions Florian ‘syrsoN’ Rische and Nils ‘k1to’ Gruhne, who are replacing Owen ‘smooya’ Butterfield and Johannes ‘nex’ Maget. I want to thank both for their efforts. We had a good start and some promising results but in the end it didn’t work out as wanted. Furthermore I’m happy to announce that Fatih ‘gob b’ Dayik will join the coaching staff at my side. Future additions in that field will follow. We are looking forward to 2020 heading into our first bootcamp that will start in some days.
Statement Nils “k1to” Gruhne:
I’m very excited that I get the chance to play with these experienced players in BIG. It will not be easy in the beginning, but I think if we work hard enough we can become a really good team. It’s also an advantage for syrsoN and me that we already worked with tow b together this year. I´m looking forward to all our upcoming tournaments. Let’s do this #gemeinsam!
Statement Florian “syrsoN” Rische:
2020 starts with a new chapter for me. Joining BIG means also I’m finally reunited with my former teammate Tizian “tiziaN” Feldbusch, whom I’ve already played with during my time in ALTERNATE aTTaX. I have high goals for this year, such as winning tournaments and qualifying for ESL One Cologne. I’m sure we can reach these together and with the support of our fans!
Our Counter-Strike: Global Offensive roster moving into 2020 will be:
Tobias “tow b” Herberhold (Head Coach)
Johannes “tabseN” Wodarz
Nils “k1to” Gruhne
Florian “syrsoN” Rische
Tizian “tiziaN” Feldbusch
İsmailcan “XANTARES” Dörtkardeş

Why is the approval of Truvada for prevention so significant for Kenya? According Kenya AIDS Indicator Survey of 2012, serodiscordant couples contribute 44% of all new infections, while men who have sex with men and female sex workers contribute a third. HIV prevalence is highest in the population 20-29 years, and young women 20-24 years are four times more likely to be HIV positive compared with young men the same age. The recent approval by the Kenya Pharmacy and Poisons Board of the drug Truvada for prevention of HIV by uninfected persons deemed at risk — pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrPEP) — reflects commitment from the regulatory authority to fast-track the review of drugs of public health importance.

Just Another Railway is a website dedicated to the building of a model railway; it will be built during my spare time using the resources I have available.
By recording a journal of progress, you can learn as I learn, avoid the mistakes I make and by using the videos and photos, hopefully be inspired to create your own layout - or at least, have a go.
Recently conducting research I came across a number of videos and guides on the internet; the videos were of mixed quality and many I found frustrating - vloggers commenting mid-way through reviews about the weather, one video on how to make a Control Board started listing alternative colours you could spray your panel... 5 minutes I'll never get back. The aim therefore of this website is to be brief and concise. I hope that it doesn't take up too much of your time!
To create a new layout and then build up the scenery and accessories to have the model railway dream!
The layout has been designed by myself and is using 00 gauge, Hornby e-Link control coupled with RailMaster. Check out The Plan on the menu for more details.
Well, for a start, I have nothing! My track was 200 miles away in storage when I started planning and it was last used when I was about 16. I've since learnt that a good way to get dirt and fluff into trains and rolling stock is to run the railway on a carptet; let's see what damage I've done when I get the crate from storage. I was fortunate that my Dad bought me some baseboards to run on later but I suppose, the damage is already done!
Limited space. I have only just boarded the loft space - there is limited headroom and no electricity. The hatch up to the loft is about 2ft by 3ft and the ladder has quite an incline.
I'm not brilliant when it comes to craft skills, soldering, model making and very good at starting projects but never completing them - this website is to try and keep the project rolling.

Happy 50th Birthday to the Royal Garden Hotel in Kensington, London. From hosting England's World Cup winners back in 1966 and being part of the Beatles frenzy in 1968, to Justin Bieber hysteria in 2012, the Royal Garden Hotel has witnessed half a century of Kensington's thrills and spills. 1st August 2015 marked the start of their year-long anniversary celebrations.
The hotel is commemorating its 50 years with, amongst other things, a limited edition cupcake. Created by the award-winning executive head chef Steve Munkley and executive pastry chef Nicholas Hollands, the confectionary masterpiece brings to life the hotel’s golden moments from the last half a century – from its sporting and music heritage to the celebratory book and branded taxi especially commissioned to mark this milestone.
The limited edition cupcake will be available with the hotel’s Park Terrace restaurant afternoon tea menu.
Jonathan Lowrey, general manager at the Royal Garden Hotel says: “We pride ourselves on offering friendly and intuitive five star service, and so to reach this milestone is a real achievement for the hotel and its staff. This, along with our stylish and luxurious rooms, restaurants, and of course great Kensington location, has all contributed to our success over the past 50 years.”

On Monday night I had the privilege of attending a Bloomberg Sports event at their headquarters in midtown Manhattan. Back in January they held a similar event to introduce their new baseball products. The program began with an overview of the baseball offerings and the improvements since the launch in January. I wasn't at the baseball product launch so the demonstration was new to me. The tool for baseball teams lets scouts analyze hitters and pitchers by displaying all hits by a batter or all pitches from a pitcher, scattered across the strike zone. Click and drag across a selection of pitches and a new menu appears with each pitch or hit on video. A broadcast product provides ready-for-TV graphs of player statistics, with the ability to overlay them on whatever background the TV network has in stock. The most popular part of the fantasy baseball product has been the trade analysis tool. It shows an aggregate value for each player in a potential trade, so that the casual user can just drop in a trade and get a quick answer. There are in-depth analysis options for the hard-core users as well. Based on what I saw, I think I'll invest in the fantasy baseball tools for next season. I need all the help I can get.
After dinner, they gave us a demonstration of the new fantasy football offering. Bloomberg is putting all of their statistical analysis knowledge into a sit/start tool. It breaks down an individual player's stats over time and gives you a head-to-head look at which player at a particular position is the better option to play that week. Bloomberg provides a “safe play” number and a “longshot” number. The safe number is how that player usually performs. It's based on factors like that player's individual performance, his team support, how well that player matches up against his opponent (the inverse of the team support factor), and weather. The longshot number takes into account the wide variations in a player's performance. In other words, if a quarterback's usual production is two touchdown passes and one interception against a team in favorable weather, those stats factor into the safe number. But if that player has had a four-TD pass day against that team, then that becomes part of the longshot number. As an overview, the tool is easy for a casual player to see who is the better option that week. But the system allows a manager interested in deeper analysis to drill down into the different factors and see the numbers that went into the calculation. It sounds like a more detailed version of what my fantasy football system does now in providing managers with a projected score for each player every week. Now we can see what kind of information goes into that projection.
Bloomberg Sports is launching the fantasy football tool as part of the NFL's fantasy football league system on nfl.com. It will be free to anyone using nfl.com for fantasy football. For everyone else, the tool will be $7.95 for the season, which I think is a steal. I'd easily pay twice that much for this kind of analysis. There's a possibility that Bloomberg will provide a fantasy draft kit package for next season, which would increase the value of the product even more. For the moment, I'm eager to let Bloomberg's analytic system tell me who is the best bet to start each week and see if that makes a difference in my fantasy football performance this year.

We each one have a path to tread,
Sometimes we choose, sometimes we’re led.
Some take us through some rough terrain.
The way at times we can’t explain.
Sometimes it seems a lonely trail.
Who’s there to catch me if I fail?
I value those who call me friend,
Who walk with me around the bend,
Who lend a hand when I’m in need,
Sometimes in word, sometimes in deed.
I’ll have a chance along the way
To offer help some future day.
When no one’s there to take my hand,
I know the Lord who always can.
He’s always there close by my side,
And in His love, I can abide.

Krabi Islands, the mesmerizing land surrounded by the sky blue water, is a treat to the eyes. Every visitor wishes to dwell on this beautiful land forever. The beauty of nature embraces Krabi island’s corners no matter wherever you choose to go. With so many things to do, see and experience in this vast natural island, you will never have enough time in the world. We are here to guide you around Krabi islands, all of the fun things you could do here and get the best out of your trip to Krabi island.
The top five Krabi islands you should check out are mentioned below:
Twenty-Five Kilometers Longtail boat ride from Ao Nang, Koh Poda is the most thrilling and breathtaking island of the Krabi province.
Every corner of the Koh Poda island is covered in greenery, a perfect tropical island view that you would expect. Enjoy the palm trees as they sway when the sweet wind blows while you relax on the white sand beach. Apart from winding down, you could get involved in some fun water activities such as kayaking and snorkelling. You could stay at the Poda Island resort, a tidy hotel for visitors to take rest in.
Unlike Koh Poda, Koh Phi Phi is a large island consisting of several other small islands as a part of the land. You could reach the Phi Phi islands by ferry or speedboat from Krabi or Phuket easily.
The Phi Phi island offers everything you have seen in the movies or on Instagram. The picture-perfect tropical land awaits you at the Phi Phi islands. It is known as the most popular vacation destination, and it still stands true to its term. The turquoise waters, the coconut trees, the glittery sand on the shore is nothing like you have seen before. There are endless options to try when it comes to sports and activities such as snorkelling, diving, rock climbing and so much more. When the sun comes down, enjoy some nightlife and dining experience around the province.
Koh Lanta, a vast tropical island but not a popular one like the Phi Phi island. This island is perfect for the ones who wish to spend time being lowkey and enjoy less crowd.
There are many exclusive resorts on the Koh Lanta island where you and your family could stay peacefully along the beach. The tropical land offers all the beach-perfect vibes you have been looking for. Be it green jungles, sandy shores or peaky mountains, Koh Lanta has it all for you to explore and have some adventure.
Koh Hong, also known as the Room Island lies seven kilometres from the Phang Nga Bay of the Krabi coast.
The most adventurous thing about Koh Hong is that this tiny piece of land is only accessible through a narrow channel. The limestone cliffs and breathtaking lagoons make the Koh Hong island a must-visit attraction. However, there is less crowd on this island compared to other islands near Krabi coast. You will be not allowed for overnight stays. Thus this beautiful location is a day trip’s opportunity for visitors. The breathtaking land is perfect for swimming, kayaking, sunbathing or just steaming off beside the waves.
Koh Tup-Koh Mor-Koh Kai
Another small island near Ao Nang, Koh Tup- Koh Mor – Koh Kai is a wonderful destination for nature lovers. The islands offer some of the best photography spots for every visitor to make new memories. The island is thirty kilometres away on a long tail boat from Ao Nang.
The island is well known as snorkelling point for adventure seekers for the crystal clear water the land offers.
The island consists of two tiny islets connected by sandbars that could be crossed over.
Krabi, one of the most well-known parts of Thailand offers a perfect vacation for steam down from a busy life. A trip to this mesmerising coast where there are several islands will give you the experience of life that you could never forget. Take your beloved one or your family members along with you to spend some halcyon days under the sun. Explore the beauty the land has to offer, go swimming or climbing in the limestone cliffs and live life at the amazing Krabi Province.

The proper use of relationship tags is a vital part of SEO. Most people first learn the concept when inserting text links within a blog post or page. But, there are also times when it may be beneficial to use nofollow tags in your navigation menu links.
When to Consider Using Nofollow Tags in Menu
Naturally, you likely do not want to nofollow tag any menu links that lead to your main posts or pages. But, there are many times when a link shouldn’t be followed by Google. Some of these may include:
Links to Curated Stores – A lot of bloggers like to design curated stores, either located on an external site, such as Amazon stores, or as a page of collections. Since these are either flat out affiliate links or lead to a selection of affiliate links, you may want to consider adding a nofollow tag.
Affiliate Links – Any navigation link that is affiliate based should have a nofollow or one of the other appropriate relationship tags. Most bloggers know to do this within the text, but your menu items should also follow proper protocol.
Password protected posts – Password protected posts are often freebies or items that you wouldn’t want just anyone to be able to access. Therefore, it is very likely that you wouldn’t want Google to follow the links to those posts.
Contact Forms – Contact forms have absolutely no purpose for Google. As such, you can noindex them. But, you also don’t want to waste any juice on these. Normally, we use nofollow on textual links. We also use a nofollow when we place these in navigation menus.
How to Nofollow Navigation Links in WordPress
If you are using WordPress (and I highly recommend that you do), you are in luck because WordPress makes it so incredibly easy to add relationship tags to your navigation menu links.
To set these up, you will need to head over to your dashboard. Then, scroll down the left side and click to open Appearance. Beneath Appearance, you will see the Menu tab. Click that to open and view your navigation menus.
At the very top of the menu page, you will see a tab that says, Screen Option. Click on it to display all the options. Then, check the box for Relationships. FYI – You may also want to check the box for Link Target if you want the option to open any links in a new tab.
Now, scroll back down to your menu. Open any menu item that you want to change to nofollow. In the field box labeled Relationship, add the text “nofollow.” If you want the link to open in a new tab, checkmark the box for that.
And that’s it! Easy, peasy! You can now add nofollow links in your navigation menu anytime you want.

Returning Home, Returning the Favor
Long-time Kansas philanthropists Gerald and Phyllis Greene each grew up on farms in different areas of the state — Gerald near Jewell, and Phyllis near Emporia. They met while Gerald was working towards his master’s in entomology at Kansas State University.
After Gerald earned his Ph.D., the Greenes lived and worked in various places around the country before finally returning to Kansas in 1976 when Gerald was offered a job in Garden City with the K-State Southwest Research-Extension Center.
In the mid-1990s, talk about starting a community foundation in Garden City was circulating. A friend encouraged the Greenes to get involved with what would become the Western Kansas Community Foundation (WKCF).
“Becoming involved with the community foundation, we began to understand the importance of leaving a legacy where you live, rather than see those dollars leave the area permanently. I was very impressed with that kind of an opportunity,” Gerald said.
“People comment to me that their kids are going to get a lot of their money. My response is that my kids have done well, and they will do as well or better than we have. So our kids have no problem with us donating through the foundation and helping others.”
“We began to understand the importance of leaving a legacy where you live, rather than see those dollars leave the area permanently. I was very impressed with that kind of an opportunity.”
– Gerald Greene
The Greenes were big supporters of the WKCF’s participation in the GROW I program offered by the Kansas Health Foundation. This opportunity offered matching dollars for donors who set up permanent funds with the foundation and helped build endowments that would offer grants back to nonprofits and charities within the community.
“One of the reasons for being part of a community foundation is that you’re pooling your money with other people’s money, which in the end will make the impact a lot bigger,” Phyllis said.

Does Steampunk Promote Violence?
In the wake of the trial of George Zimmerman and the verdict, which was disheartening and disappointing for many – not me, I expected it to go just the way it did, but that’s another story, for another time – we feel a desperate need to know why, so we can understand how – how can we keep this from happening again? When someone shoots up a school, a mall, office building, or a child many of us blame lax gun laws, and recommend those laws become stricter. Others blame it on cultural factors – violent video games and films have sickened our culture, glorifying wanton violence and desensitizing our youth to its effects.
So, where do we draw the line?
Do we wrest firearms from the cold, dead fingers of the American public (and they will, most certainly, have to be dead because people are not just giving up their guns in the U.S. of A)?
Do we wrest wireless controllers from the sweaty, dead palms of the players of Call of Duty, and Halo (and they will, most certainly, have to be dead because game geeks are not giving up their COD)?
Should we ban violent films and books like Braveheart or Homer’s Iliad? Should we edit out the kills from Shakespearean plays?
In truth, violence is a great – perhaps the great – staple of the entertainment industry.
We gorge ourselves on violence in television shows, novels, films, sporting events and video games, but a half century search for real-world consequences of violence in the media has found no conclusive evidence of any link. Hundreds of millions of people watch violent television and play violent games and never develop the slightest urge to kill.
Most Steampunks and Steamfunkateers insert their personas into imaginative scenarios in which they play the role of a hero who bravely confronts the forces of chaos and destruction. When we play most video games, role playing games or cosplay we aren’t training to be mass murderers or serial killers; we are emulating the good guy who races to place himself between evil and its victims.
The same applies when we engross ourselves in more traditional fiction formats like film, television, and novels.
Almost without exception, when the villain of a story kills, his violence is condemned. When the hero kills, that kill is righteous. Fiction preaches that violence is only acceptable under defined circumstances – to protect the good and the weak from the evil and the strong. What Steven King says of horror stories in his book, Danse Macabre, applies to all forms of imaginary violence: “The horror story, beneath its fangs and fright wig, is really as conservative as an Illinois Republican in a three-piece pinstriped suit…It’s main purpose is to reaffirm the virtues of the norm by showing us what awful things happen to people who venture into taboo lands. Within the framework of most horror tales we find a moral code so strong it would make a Puritan smile.”
Resist the urge to find and torch a scapegoat – whether in the entertainment industry or the gun lobby.
And remember that the portrayal of heroes armed with steam-powered rifles, aether pistols, or gear-driven retractable claws are just portrayals. We Steampunks and Steamfunkateers are – in general – friendly, mannerly and relatively sane.
Now those anime cosplayers? They’ll kill ya’.
Just kidding! *looks around nervously for a teenager with disheveled blue hair and a wildly oversized sword*

- November 28, 2016
- Civic Engagement
In 2015, crime in New York City fell once again, reaching its lowest level in recent decades. New Yorkers are now safer in the city than they have been in years, and yet tensions between police officers and the communities in which they work have continued to mount. The challenge facing the New York Police Department (NYPD) today is to maintain safe streets while ushering in a new era of mutual respect between officers and local communities.
In the last two years, William Bratton has served for a second term as Commissioner of the New York Police Department. In this time, he led the NYPD away from aggressive tactics used to crack down on street-level crime, embracing instead a strategy that balances crime prevention and community engagement. In Bratton’s words, his second term was focused on moving the NYPD from a “warrior” to a “guardian” policing mindset.
This attempt at cultural change involved new policies regarding training and recruiting, neighborhood policing, and, perhaps most visibly, the adoption of social media platforms throughout the NYPD. A recently-published case study, co-authored by Harvard Law School Professor Susan Crawford and me, chronicles these organizational changes, drawing from dozens of interviews conducted by Professor Crawford starting in 2015. The full white paper, published by the Berkman-Klein Center for Internet and Society, is available here.
The paper shows that, upon beginning his second term with the NYPD, Bratton saw the need for a new type of policing focused on fostering communication and mutual respect. New avenues of communication took the form of street-level engagement through the Neighborhood Coordination Officer program and online interaction, first through Twitter and then through two-way communication platforms including Facebook and a crowdsourcing platform called IdeaScale. These technological initiatives relied, in turn, on a general modernization of the agency’s woefully out-of-date technology infrastructure.
Neighborhood Coordination Officers: Changing policing in the streets
The Neighborhood Coordination Officer (NCO) program, which began as a pilot in 2015, gets police officers out of their cars and into the community. The program requires officers spend 20 percent of their time “off radio;” rather than responding to 911 calls, they are expected to move through the neighborhood and engage informally with citizens. On the basis of the program’s success, it has expanded from an original set of five pilot precincts to 44 precincts across the city—over 50 percent of all precincts and all Housing commands.
The first step in forging more meaningful relationships was to assign officers to unified neighborhoods, rather than disparate parts of precincts. Where once cops would be responsible for many small areas scattered throughout the precinct, under NCO, the same cops are consistently patrolling a continuous, recognizable neighborhood, allowing them to become familiar with residents. By redrawing sector boundaries and assigning dedicated neighborhood officers, the program created, for the first time, a true “geographic responsibility” for officers, encouraging them to not only respond to emergencies, but also follow up on minor complaints or concerns expressed by residents.
The NCOs are also expected to engage in formal interaction with their communities through involvement in community groups. NCOs typically attend community meetings and are expected to develop working groups with less publicly-engaged demographics, especially young men. Through these intentional forms of public interaction, officers become familiar with and to their constituents. Whether or not this strategy will result in more effective crime prevention remains to be seen, but the NCO program is not aimed primarily at reducing crime. Rather, it is focused on building trust in communities at a time when it is urgently needed.
Twitter: Embracing social media, relaxing “command-and-control” culture
While the NCOs focused on increasing face-to-face communication, Commissioner Bratton was also embracing Twitter as a tool for engaging with New Yorkers online. Starting in early 2014 with the Commissioner’s personal account and five precinct pilot command accounts, the NYPD Twitter program has grown to over 100 separate accounts, including all city precincts, housing commands, and many department heads. By enabling open interaction between officers and the public, Bratton took a radical step away from the “command-and-control” culture that had dominated the NYPD for decades, empowering officers throughout the organization to find their own public voice.
The Twitter program began with Bratton’s first tweet in January of 2014, which many officers view as an important milestone. His first tweet was, as one commander remarked, “very important, very unique to this department that you see something that’s not a press release coming out of the NYPD, that’s a personal voice and has a photo attached… you can relate.” Despite the initial novelty of this direct, personal communication, the program quickly expanded, and more than one hundred NYPD chiefs and officers were tweeting by the end of the year. One officer put it succinctly when he said, referring to the previous police chief, “Commissioner Kelly was a great man, but he spoke, and now all of the sudden all are speaking.”
While some officers embraced the new opportunity with enthusiasm, others were wary of engaging in open conversation on such an unmediated platform. As one officer explained, “I said, ‘I don’t want to tweet.’ First of all, I’m not on Facebook because I feel like a public figure. I don’t need to be involved. I’m not out there. I don’t want to be out there. This was the last thing I’d want to do.”
They were right to feel apprehensive. Within a few months of going online, the NYPD suffered a minor scandal after launching a hashtag, #myNYPD, that was quickly taken up by activists critical of the department’s treatment of poor and minority residents. While this might have prompted another Commissioner to shut down the Twitter program altogether, Bratton demonstrated his commitment to the new openness. As one officer explained, the tone set by Bratton was, “‘Look, this happened. No one is getting fired… We’re going to do damage control [and] we’re going to move forward,’ and I think that set an example… [Officers felt that] this ground is maybe a little less dangerous because you know you have the support of 1PP [headquarters].” By weathering the storm, Bratton signaled his support for officers throughout the organization as they experimented with their new public voice.
Building infrastructure for modern policing
When Commissioner Bratton took office, the NYPD’s information technology infrastructure was woefully out of date. Precincts used outdated Internet connections provided by Verizon, which would have been a larger problem if precinct officers had access to the Internet at all: few officers had a desktop computer and fewer still had computers with any kind of connectivity. Most officers had no phone number or voicemail.
In two busy years, the NYPD has replaced its data centers, started construction on a redundant citywide fiber optic network, invested in smartphones for all officers and in-vehicle tablets, and set up email, phone numbers, and voicemail for most officers in the street.
Perhaps the most exciting technology initiative, and the one most closely linked to the implementation of social media, is the department-wide rollout of smartphones. Using $140 million awarded to the NYPD by the Manhattan District Attorney from a settlement with international banks, the department invested in 41,000 mobile devices, including 35,000 smartphones and 6,000 tablet computers installed in police vehicles. Initially, the department planned a two-year rollout, but after piloting smartphones in four precincts, they saw the massive benefit of the equipment and accelerated deployment.
Limitations and opportunities
Building a local audience: Although the NYPD has quickly built a local following, the department’s reach is not large. By the end of 2015, the 111 NYPD Twitter accounts collectively had almost 750,000 followers, but in a city of eight million, such a following is still too limited. As one officer explained, “We still struggle with the general public awareness of the fact that they can tune into us online.” Cultivating a local audience is particularly important. Many non-local Twitter users—especially journalists—follow NYPD accounts, but the department gets the most benefit by engaging with local residents. Building broad interest among community members has proven difficult, as some are not on social media and others may not see the benefit of following NYPD accounts. However, the department’s bureaus are working to expand awareness in the streets through flyers and face-to-face communication.
Two-Way Communication: The greatest potential of social media is its ability to facilitate two-way communication. Organizations like the NYPD have always had the ability to broadcast through press releases or public service announcements. Unlike these old media, Twitter allows the NYPD to listen, as well as to speak. To date, however, the department makes limited use of this capability. Listening is critical, not only because it can provide the NYPD with valuable information, but also because communication is a two-way street—people are more likely to listen if they can also be heard. Early efforts at online “listening” through a platform called IdeaScale gained limited traction, prompting the NYPD to explore supplementing the program with platforms residents already use, such as Facebook. As NYPD expands its use of social media, it will benefit from learning how to harness the ability to hear from its communities online.
Measurement: The recent initiatives implemented by the NYPD all point to a desire to improve the responsiveness and community engagement of the department. However, the city has established few metrics or benchmarks to track the success of the initiatives, creating a barrier to meaningful change. The NYPD will only know how close it is to reaching its goals if data is regularly collected, analyzed, and measured against targets established in advance. The administrators of these programs know that this is a shortcoming of both the technology and the organizational initiatives, and steps are being taken to establish measures and targets. However, nothing can beat knowing your data, establishing a baseline, and tracking progress from the outset.

It's late may now. It's Dragon Boat Festival soon. Do you know how many days the Dragon Boat Festival will be off this year? What are your arrangements for the Dragon Boat Festival holiday? Do you want to have a self driving tour? After all, with these three-day holidays, many people have time to go out for tourism. At this time, people are more concerned about the issue. What is the specific time of Dragon Boat Festival holiday? Is Dragon Boat Festival express free?
How many days can I play on Dragon Boat Festival at most?
Many people may have known about the holiday arrangement of the Dragon Boat Festival in 2019. June 7 is Friday of the Dragon Boat Festival, which is a three-day holiday with weekends. The specific holiday dates are June 7 to June 9, 2019, June 3 (Monday) to June 6, 2019 (Thursday) for four days, which can be combined with nine days of small and Long Dragon Boat Festival holidays. Is Dragon Boat Festival express free? A list of freeway free time in China
Is Dragon Boat Festival express free?
It should be noted by self driving friends that the Dragon Boat Festival expressway is not free, and the Dragon Boat Festival is not within the scope of high-speed free passage stipulated by the state, so the friends who go on the expressway need to pay the toll. According to the analysis of the railway department, due to the influence of high-speed non free, the passenger flow of the small and long holiday railway will be more concentrated. During the year, the expressway is in the Spring Festival, Qingming Festival, may day and national day The bus with seven seats or less is free for four holidays!
The friends who choose to travel by car during the Dragon Boat Festival must pay attention to the fact that the high-speed is not free. This must be understood clearly. Because the high-speed is not free, many people may choose public transport to travel, so the friends who plan to travel must purchase tickets in advance.

Field Notes: Making Sense of Atlanta
By Agnès Browning – Lab Atlanta
October 25, 2016
My favorite topic of conversation with people who relocate to Atlanta is to find out how they make sense of it. This is not an easy task in a city that pretty much moves around the clock and offers a cornucopia of things to do to keep you entertained and informed. With time though, newcomers gradually build their own experience of Atlanta through the places in the city where they live, work, and play. Some people fall in love with it forever, some for a while, and some can never get used to it.
This idea of making sense of a new place is fascinating because it forces us to wire our brain connections differently in order to map it. Over the past six months, I stumbled on three wonderful examples of people who, intentionally or not, made visible the process of mapping Atlanta or a space in Atlanta in creative ways…

Amidst the joy of Christmas, the lights, the music, the presents, the family events, I want to pause and consider part of the dark side of Christmas… which only the lonely understand (as Roy Orbison said).
Now Christmas is a time of hope and a time for families, but that in itself can drive people into loneliness. Factors like family breakdown can drive many into loneliness, and dealing with extended family members can also ramp up the pressure at this time of year, but Christmas itself is not the cause for loneliness.
You can become lonely for many reasons… the loss of a relationship through death or separation, loss of friends, sickness, hard times and many other reasons. Often when we face difficult times we pull away, we isolate ourselves and add loneliness to our list of burdens.
Whatever the cause, Christmas is just an amplifier that causes feelings of loneliness that are there all the time to seem greater and more powerful for only the lonely.
And strangely you can be lonely even in a crowd. One of the great paradoxes of modern life is that you can have 700 Facebook friends and be the loneliest guy in the world. You see social media, as social as it might be, is no substitute for social interaction and close friends.
And Christmas just makes feelings of loneliness stronger.
For my days pass away like smoke,
and my bones burn like a furnace.
My heart is struck down like grass and has withered;
I forget to eat my bread.
Because of my loud groaning
my bones cling to my flesh.
I am like a desert owl of the wilderness,
like an owl of the waste places;
I lie awake;
I am like a lonely sparrow on the housetop.
The KJV translates desert owl in its literal sense, meaning a pelican. So what the Psalmist is saying here is that he feels like a pelican, a coastal bird, in the desert… we might say a fish out of water.
And loneliness is like that… you feel like you just don’t belong, and especially at Christmas, where everyone else seems to be having such a great time, right?
Les Carter said, “Loneliness is a feeling of separation, isolation or distance in human relations. It implies emotional pain, an empty feeling and a yearning to feel understood and accepted by someone.”
Tim Hansel observed, “Loneliness is not the same as being alone. It’s feeling alone, no matter how many people are around you. It’s feeling disconnected, unplugged, left out, isolated.”
Today I want to consider only the lonely, how you should respond to it and how you should respond to others who are struggling with loneliness.
MODERNISM MAGNIFIES THE MISERY
Loneliness has always been with us.
Then the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.”
However, our modern society escalates loneliness on a scale never seen before.
Albert Schweitzer said, “We are all so much together, but we are all dying of loneliness.”
The fact of the matter is, and if you have experienced loneliness you will understand this well, lonely people often feel left out. They feel unwanted or rejected, even when they are surrounded by others – whether it be friends, family, or a congregation of a church. With loneliness, not only can there come this feeling of being left out, but a sense of worthlessness – in other words, people reason within themselves: ‘Well, since nobody wants to be with me, I guess I’m not worth being with’.
It is important that we realise that loneliness is one of the greatest problems that 21st century society faces. And Christmas is one of the most common times to feel lonely, even in a crowded service or a family gathering.
Contrast this with developing countries, where they may not have much in the way of money, possessions or even food… but they have each other! They have extended families, they have friends, they often leave doors open and share meals together, and loneliness, while still present, is not as extreme as here in our country. We’ve got big screen TVs, cars that work, the NBN, Centrelink and huge malls, but our society tends to isolate us.
So again, loneliness is not worse at Christmas, it’s there all the time, but only the lonely know it is simply amplified at this time of year, when others seem to have what we do not.
Doesn’t matter who you are, how successful you are, how famous you are, everybody experiences loneliness…
Jack Nicholson, after years of philandering and womanising, described himself recently as single, lonely and likely to die alone. After the death of her husband Albert, Queen Victoria said these words: ‘There was no one left to call me Victoria’.
There was once an advertisement in a Kansas newspaper that read like this: ‘I will listen to you talk for 30 minutes without comment for five dollars’. It sounds like a hoax, doesn’t it? But it wasn’t long before that individual who had placed the advertisement in the newspaper was bombarded by about 10 to 20 calls a day.
The pain of loneliness for some is so sharp that they were willing to try anything for half an hour of companionship. The scourge of loneliness is something that hits all of us at some time in our life. It can last from a moment to a lifetime.
Loneliness is the painful awareness that we lack meaningful contact with others. It involves within it a feeling of inner emptiness which can be accompanied by sadness, discouragement, a sense of isolation, restlessness and anxiety – and even an intense desire within to be wanted and needed by someone.
ONLY THE LONELY KNOW YOU’RE IN GOOD COMPANY!
Many people in the Bible faced loneliness. Joseph alone in prison, Jacob miles from home. King David often felt all alone…
Turn to me and be gracious to me,
for I am lonely and afflicted.
The troubles of my heart are enlarged;
bring me out of my distresses.
The Apostle Paul was abandoned in prison, 2 Timothy 4:9-11,, and John was alone rotting on the Island of Patmos.
Jesus hung alone on a cruel cross for your sin and mine. Even His Father turned His back on Him. Jesus understands what it’s like to be lonely, to feel abandoned and isolated.
Loneliness is and always has been common in human experience, and in our 21st century lifestyle, it’s exacerbated. People turn to drugs, alcohol, free sex, workaholism and even suicide to cope with feelings of loneliness.
So as we face Christmas 2016, and the possibility that many of you will feel intense loneliness, even in a crowd of relatives, I want to have a look at the voices you will hear in your head when you’re intensely lonely, and contrast that with what God says about you.
LONELINESS… THE VOICES IN YOUR HEAD
When we feel lonely we become subject to those dreaded voices in our head. You know the ones that show up when you’re trying to sleep. The ones that, if you’re not busy doing something, pervade your consciousness and nag your mind into believing things.
These little voices, seemingly so innocent, can kill you… figuratively and literally. So it is in our interest to deal with them before they start affecting us. And remember… they strike and strike hard when we are lonely.
So what do these voices say, what are their lies and how does God’s truth counteract them?
1. I AM ALL ALONE
THE LIE: Loneliness means I am all alone
THE TRUTH: Loneliness can strip away my dependence on others and let me find true fulfilment in Jesus Christ alone.
2 Corinthians 1:3-4
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
Being alone should be looked at not as a negative, but as a positive that only the lonely know.
Sometimes God allows us to feel alone for a season, and if we choose to we can use this experience to drive us closer to the Lord. We can choose to get into the Word of God, to pray or to get involved in church activities.
Jesus alone is the only true and lasting source of comfort. Seeing us chase after relationships with people rather than Him must break his heart, so sometimes He will lovingly remove these from our lives to drive us into His arms of comfort.
So if you are feeling lonely at Christmas time, rather than getting despondent about it, turn things around and say thank you Lord for realigning my priorities and driving me into your arms!
2. NO ONE UNDERSTANDS
THE LIE: I’m the only one who ever suffered like this, so no one will ever understand my pain and loneliness.
THE TRUTH: Many have gone through similar or harder roads, and Jesus Himself promises He understands because He’s been there and done that.
For because he himself has suffered when tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.
Very often within our circle of friends and acquaintances we are not aware of someone who has gone through what we are struggling with. Even if they have, they would have handled it differently and done things differently. So we often tell ourselves that no one really understands what we face.
The danger of this type of thinking is that the devil uses it against us. When he convinces us that no one understands, we tend to shut others out, even those who love us and who God has placed around us for support and encouragement.
So if we feel alone, we often isolate ourselves further, moving away from the very ones who could help us, and moving us towards bitterness, depression, hard-heartedness, regret and ultimately, paralysing our life. When we become so alone, so isolated, we are useless to the Kingdom of God, and ripe to be attacked and even used by the enemy!
So we must remind ourselves of this…
2 Corinthians 1:5-6
For as we share abundantly in Christ’s sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too. If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; and if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which you experience when you patiently endure the same sufferings that we suffer.
Jesus is the only one who fully understands our pain, our heartache and our loneliness. He gets our fears, insecurities, emotions, needs and desires. In short, He understands!
Behold, the hour is coming, indeed it has come, when you will be scattered, each to his own home, and will leave me alone. Yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me. I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”
So when you feel alone, fight the temptation to withdraw further by recognising that Jesus understands and cares, and that He offers the only true comfort for the lonely. People, friends, relatives, loved ones, can never fully meet our expectations.
Here’s the thing… once we release people from our expectations, once we look to Jesus Christ alone for comfort, then we suddenly see others in a different light. We see them as God’s provision for our lives.
If you lower your expectations of others, everything positive they do and say is a bonus… it’s a blessing!
And remember that Jesus doesn’t try and comfort us from afar, He is with us closer than a brother. He fills us with the Holy Spirit, He gives us strength, courage and joy. He gives us each other to love and support, to reach out to us in our loneliness.
3. GOD JUST DOESN’T LOVE ME
THE LIE: A loving God would not let you be alone like this. If He really loves me He’d give me friends who understand me, who support, encourage and care for me.
THE TRUTH: this loving God sent His own Son on the loneliest road of all for you!
Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted.
Loneliness is not fun, it’s miserable as only the lonely know. Outside of the grace of God, any suffering here on earth is miserable and makes no sense! Outside of Christ, suffering has no purpose, no value and offers no hope for the believer. But when we consider Christ, when we think of the gospel, suffering suddenly has meaning!
One of the darkest periods of our lives was when we lost all our money in the Storm financial crisis. 20 years of work wiped out in one week, and we went from being millionaires to being debt millionaires! It was a horrible, painful, frustrating and very lonely experience. Many people we counted on just went on with their lives, and no one seemed to care. We felt isolated in our misery.
Now I look back on that troubled time and realise God had a plan, for our lives, our family, our ministries and our future Pastoring. Out of that pain, and loneliness, I can now care for others in a way I never could.
In the middle of it, I saw pain and devastation… looking back, I see the loving hand of the Father working all things for good!
I remember praying and saying to God, my life is a frustrated, angry, fear filled mess. But I choose to see this moment as my opportunity to shine for Jesus. Matthew 5:16.
So if you’re lonely this Christmas, rather than thinking it’s a curse, start to see it as a privilege, a calling, even a blessing to walk the same lonely road as your Saviour walked for you! The rewards are not for now but for eternity!
Feeling lonely? This could be your moment to shine!
4. I DON’T HAVE ENOUGH FAITH
THE LIE: If I feel alone, I mustn’t have enough faith
THE TRUTH: Your feelings should not and do not represent your faith.
This is a modern Pentecostal, hurtful lie that has been propagated far and wide… that if you feel discouraged, alone or sad, your faith is lacking and you need to muster some more faith.
As people, we tend to rely on our feelings. If we feel good, if we feel joy, if we feel connected at Christmas, then we must have faith. If we feel lonely, sad or miserable, we mustn’t have enough faith.
2 Corinthians 4:7-9
But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;
How do you reach this point, when everything seems against you and yet you stay so positive and full of faith? Paul did not get this from watching preachers on the God channel, or by calling a 1800 number with a donation!
We’ve talked about this in recent weeks, how even a mustard seed of faith in an infinitely huge and powerful God trumps all the faith you can muster in an idol.
I’m sick of hearing people kicking those who are down and saying they lack faith. If you base your faith on how you feel, you’ll have a roller coaster ride of emotions, and always doubt that you have any faith at all. But if you base your faith on the Word of God, on His promises, on His Spirit and His power, then regardless of how you feel, you will discover faith you never knew you had! Faith in an infinite God, faith in the One who loves you and gave Himself for you.
The better you get to know God, the more faith you will have!
So if you are feeling alone and sad this Christmas, then turn things around and see your loneliness not as a curse sent from God, but as an opportunity to grow in maturity. This growth doesn’t happen by accident, but by a deliberate decision to see joy in your pain, and Gods loving hand upon you rather than His affliction, judgement or curse.
5. I’M JUST NOT IMPORTANT TO ANYONE
THE LIE:If you were important enough, famous, successful, attractive, rich enough you wouldn’t be lonely like this.
THE TRUTH: Everybody experiences loneliness, important or not.
This is a ridiculous lie from the devil, and I only have to mention names like Amy Winehouse, Kurt Cobain, Whitney Houston, Heath Ledger, Phillip Seymour-Hoffman and Marilyn Monroe to shoot it down.
Being famous or important does not make you not lonely, it actually often makes you more lonely and isolated. Don’t believe the lie that successful people have lots of friends and aren’t lonely. Behind the money, the fame, the big cars and houses in Beverley Hills, they’re often the most lonely of all!
Things, fame or money doesn’t buy happiness. I’ve seen beggars in the gutters of Kolkata laugh, eat together and have fellowship. Some of them are rich in ways we don’t understand.
Listen, I know many poor, mistreated and less than attractive people here who have friends and are not lonely.
Doesn’t matter who you are, there are people who love you, if you let them near! This church has people who will love you if you let them, so stop trying to be someone you’re not and just let genuine people start to love and accept you.
“Do two walk together,
unless they have agreed to meet?
If you are lonely, at least make yourself agreeable! If you’re nice to others, someone will be nice to you. If they reach out to you and you behave like a pig in return, don’t be surprised if you’re lonely! Be agreeable, be open, and no matter who you are, what your situation is, God will bring someone into your life to care.
So if you are feeling lonely this Christmas, open yourself to someone. Yes there’s a risk, they might reject you, but nothing ventured is nothing gained. They might accept you, you never know. You don’t need to be successful, rich or famous, you just need to be agreeable!
CLOSER THAN A BROTHER
Loneliness hurts, and especially at Christmas when everybody is talking about their families and friends. If you have poor relationships in your family, or no friends, it hurts even more.
A man of many companions may come to ruin,
but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
Loneliness is painful, but today I challenge you to turn your perception around. Loneliness is not hopelessness if you don’t let it become that, instead it can empower you to know Christ more, and to make Him known. He is the friend who sticks!
The choice it yours… all of these voices in your head require you to choose between the lie and the truth. You can choose to believe the lies, or you can choose the truth. At this time of year the devil uses loneliness to entrap you, to ruin you, to get into your head and depress you. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
Take your eyes off your circumstances, off the family mishaps, off the lack of friends, and open your eyes to see things Gods way.
Habakkuk Rejoices in the Lord
Though the fig tree should not blossom,
nor fruit be on the vines,
the produce of the olive fail
and the fields yield no food,
the flock be cut off from the fold
and there be no herd in the stalls,
yet I will rejoice in the Lord;
I will take joy in the God of my salvation.
God, the Lord, is my strength;
he makes my feet like the deer’s;
he makes me tread on my high places.
Today in the loneliness that many of us face at Christmas time, Jesus is calling you to tread in high places. You can feel lonely, all of us do at times, but there is a friend who calls to you right now in your loneliness. His arms are open to you, His heart is reaching out to you. This Christmas you may be alone, alone by yourself, or alone maybe in a crowd of relatives, but none of us is exempt from loneliness.
In our church I am thrilled to say I’m seeing people reaching out to each other in genuine love. You might be alone, but don’t be lonely. There are people here who would love to reach out to you. There are people who care, and there a Saviour who wants to wrap His arms around you right now.
I look behind me and you’re there,
then up ahead and you’re there, too—
your reassuring presence, coming and going.
Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

I released Key Level in 2008.
Key Level is a medium-term trend trading methodology.
It looks to enter the market following a retracement.
Key Level is 100% objective and 100% mechanical.
All the trading rules for set-up, entry, stop and exit are fully explained. There is no discretion used with Key Level. It’s a systematic strategy.
Key Level is a simple pattern based methodology that contains only 2 variables. One is for its 200-day moving average. The other is only known to owners of Key Level. Key Level uses the same variable values for all markets and for all buy and sell setups. Being simple ensures its free of “curve fitting”, one of the twin evils faced by all strategy developers.
I originally designed Key Level to trade the currency markets.
However, due to its robustness, I trade Key Level over my diversified portfolio of markets including;
- Interest rates
- Softs and
Key Level’s success across a diversified portfolio of out-of-sample markets under scores the soundness of its methodology and demonstrates the absence of “data mining”, the second twin evil faced by strategy developers.
Key Level’s simplicity, absence of both curve fitting and data mining, and continuing positive performance since its release in 2008 demonstrates both its effectiveness and robustness. Two commodities which are very rare in the business of trading education and system development.
Whether you trade Forex, Spot FX, Margin FX, Currency CFDs or Currency Futures or a diversified portfolio of markets (either Futures or CFDs) Key Level will give you the edge you’re looking for.
This strategy represents a complete methodology and is a revolution in trader education. The revolution comprises two elements:
– the theory and
– practical live trading.
The theory is contained within the Key Level manual where traders will learn the complete methodology for finding set-ups, identifying entry, stop and exit levels.
Practical Live Trading
The practical live trading occurs via the Key Level Daily Study Guide. When traders purchase Key Level they will receive a complimentary 30 day subscription to the Daily Study Guide. On expiry owners can subscribe for as long or for as short they like. They control the tempo of their learning. The Daily Study Guide allows traders to watch me live 24/7 consistently review, analyse, apply and trade Key Level across a portfolio of diversified markets.
They watch and learn as I apply the methodology live in the markets. They learn by watching me make real trades, with real money, in real markets, in real time.
This is a revolution in trader education.
Please click on the link opposite to learn more about Key Level’s Daily Study Guide.
Traders are able to learn at their own pace. Experienced traders will only need the e-manual. For new and struggling traders they can subscribe to the Daily Study Guide for as long or for as short as they like. They set their own pace for their own learning. They can even choose to subscribe indefinitely and use the Daily Study Guide as their constant trading companion.
I can’t think of an easier, or more transparent, or more honest and flexible form of trader education available to people wishing to learn a real methodology used by a real trader in global markets.

"Behold, I come as a thief, Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
And He gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue called Armageddon"
Bearing in mind, the testimony is based on traditional understanding, not modern historical wisemind.
'armageddon': thought to represent the Hebrew words 'Har Megido' meaning Hill of Megiddo

_The stillness of the night
The stillness of the night
A Poem by Coyote Poetry
We need places where we know peace and we can be who we are truly are.
Real love come to us in a hurricane of uncontrolled passion.
Sweet melodies of the words of love sending us soaring and ascending to
new places and heights.
Bashful woman revealing soft and tender places.
Surrendering and shedding fear, allowing the wholly kisses to bring to life
turbulent emotion and want.
When love is safe and free. Two hearts can commit and believe.
The splendor of true love is alive and well.
Love is fair. We will play master and slave. Slave and master.
Real lovers can be mild and tame. Savage and wild.
The midnight hour where lovers are besieged in the flame of the
splendor of skin against skin, confessing secrets and rejoicing in touch
and play. Become the keepsakes and needed places the lovers must return again.
The stillness of the night.
Where no garments are needed to cover the beauty of soft skin.
Where lovers dance freely and unbounded.
Where immortal love become the corridors where passion and want is given without
Lady midnight allowed voiceless lovers to give and receive.
True love don’t need words. They need evident of embrace and gentle
touch when the night is lonely and cold.
