Rhinos have faced immense violence at the hands of humans and desperately need our help. Estimates show only 27,000 rhinos are still alive today. Help us protect this amazing animal before it’s TOO LATE. Help Us Save Animals Like Rhinos From Extinction → There are five different species of rhinos: White rhinos, Black rhinos, Javan rhinos, Sumatran rhinos, and Greater One-Horned rhinos. As a whole, people have wrought havoc on rhino populations with some subspecies being affected more severely than others (there are only two Northern White rhinos left in the world)! Humans are at fault for much of the hardship facing rhinos. ➤ Rhinos are often massacred as part of the international wildlife trade as poachers hope to sell their horns. ➤ Across Africa, more than 9,000 rhinos have been killed by poachers in the last decade. ➤ Rhinos need large habitats through which they can roam, but human activity has forced them to live on smaller and smaller areas of land. These are amazing creatures. A black rhino has skin that can be as thick as 5cm. White rhinos, despite being the second largest mammal on land, can run 40km/hour. There are so many incredible facts about rhinos, but one thing is absolutely clear: We do not want to leave future generations a world without rhinos. And we don’t have to...

 Netquette typically refers to emails and, less frequently, texting and Twitter. But all online communication has a need for Netiquette. the following article is the best I have seen.

 

Is your Zoom Netiquettette lacking?

By Riva Gold, Editor at LinkedIn News

Updated 8 hours ago

As the pandemic keeps millions around the world at home, video conferencing is taking on a more important role in the workplace. (Zoom, for example, saw daily meeting participants jump from 10 million pre-pandemic, to a peak of over 300 million.) But a few months in, barking dogs and background spouses aren’t cute anymore, etiquette experts warn. Here are some simple rules they suggest to maintain your professional credibility:

• Don’t be late — if you’re clicking to join the meeting at the exact time your meeting starts, you’re already late.
• No chewing — a cup of coffee or some water is OK, but don't eat on a video call. Especially crunchy foods.
• Be present — when you’re multitasking, it’s more obvious than you think.

Women’s Suffrage Historical Facts

• Susan B. Anthony (1820 – 1906), a pioneer in the women’s suffrage (right to vote) movement in the United States, founded the National American Woman Suffrage Association with fellow activist, Elizabeth Cady Stanton.  In addition to fighting for a woman’s right to vote, she worked to end slavery and participated in the abolitionist movement. https://www.susanbanthony.net/;  https://www.nps.gov/people/susan-b-anthony.htm
• Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815 – 1902) was a fellow suffragist, abolitionist, and an early leader of the woman’s rights movement.  She co-authored the “Declaration of Sentiments” which set forth the rights of American women and compared their struggles to those of the Founding Fathers fighting for colonial independence from Great Britain. https://www.history.com/topics/womens-history/elizabeth-cady-stanton; https://www.nps.gov/wori/learn/historyculture/declaration-of-sentiments.htm
• Prior to the 19th Amendment’s adoption, Virginia Minor (1824 – 1894), battled all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court for her right to vote and lost in 1874. https://www.nps.gov/jeff/learn/historyculture/the-virginia-minor-case.htm
• A mom convinced her son to let women vote!  To amend the U.S. Constitution, three-fourths of the state legislatures must ratify the proposed amendment.  In 1920, 36 states needed to sign on.  On August 18, 1920, Tennessee became the 36th state to ratify the 19th amendment, thanks to Harry T. Burn, a 24-year-old legislator who followed his mother’s advice to “be a good boy” and cast the 50th vote out of a possible 99!  https://www.history.com/news/the-mother-who-saved-suffrage-passing-the-19th-amendment; http://www.msn.com/en-us/lifestyle/did-you-know/20-things-you-had-no-idea-happened-in-1920/ss-BBXNFFE?ocid=ientp#image=3; https://www.archives.gov/federal-register/constitution
• On August 26, 1920, the 19th Amendment was added to the U.S. Constitution, finally guaranteeing women the right to vote.

Remote Access lookingFor a Job?

remote access

Remote access is the ability for an authorized person to access a computer or a network from a geographical distance through a network connection. Remote access enables users to connect to the systems they need even though they are physically far away. This is especially important for employees who work at branch offices, are traveling or are telecommuting to work. Technical support professionals also use remote access to connect to users' computers from remote locations to help them resolve issues with their systems or software. One common method of providing remote access is through a virtual private network (VPN) connection. A VPN creates a safe and encrypted connection over a less secure network, such as the internet.  Enterprises can also provide remote access by using remote desktops. Remote desktop software allows apps that run on a network server to be displayed locally on network clients at the same time. Continue reading...

Every year millions of Americans find themselves unable to vote because they miss a registration deadline, don’t update their registration, or aren’t sure how to register.

Our partners at Vote Forward have made it easy to contact historically under-represented, not-yet-registered voters living in key 2020 swing states to provide them with everything they need to register to vote.

air gapping

Air gapping is a security measure that involves physically isolating a computer or network to prevent it from connecting directly or wirelessly to other systems that can connect to the Internet. Air gapping is used to protect many types of critical systems, including those that support the stock market, the military, the government and industrial power industries. To prevent unauthorized data extrusion through electromagnetic or electronic exploits, there must be a specified amount of space between the air-gapped system and outside walls and between its wires and the wires for other technical equipment. In the United States, the U.S. National Security Agency TEMPEST project provides best practices for using air gaps as a security measure. For a system with extremely sensitive data, a Faraday cage can be used to prevent electromagnetic radiation (EMR) escaping from the air-gapped equipment. Although such measures may seem extreme, van Eck phreaking can be used to intercept data such as key strokes or screen images from demodulated EMR waves, using special equipment from some distance away. Other proof-of-concept (POC) attacks for air- gapped systems have shown that electromagnetic emanations from infected sound cards on isolated computers can be exploited and continuous wave irradiation can be used to reflect and gather information from isolated screens, keyboards and other computer components. As of this writing, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is awarding grants for prototype hardware and software designs that will keep sensitive data physically isolated. The grants are made possible under the Guaranteed Architecture for Physical Security (GAPS) program. Enhancing air-gapped security measures The problem with physical separation as a security technique is that, as complexity increases in some system or network to be isolated, so does the likelihood that some unknown or unauthorized external connection will arise. Perhaps the most important way to protect a computing device or network from an air gap attack is through end user security awareness training. The infamous Stuxnet worm, which was designed to attack air-gapped industrial control systems, is thought to have been introduced by infected thumb drives found by employees or obtained as free giveaways. The software-defined perimeter (SDP) framework is another tool network engineers can use to create a type of "virtual air gapping" through policy enforcement. SDP requires external endpoints that want to access internal infrastructure to comply with authentication policies and ensures that only authenticated systems can see internal IP addresses.

In my books, noted below, I often lament about the lack of civility, deterioration of written communication and abuse of the power of the Internet. Electronic communication, in my opinion, breeds negativity and behavior which does not exist in direct communication. 

The following is an except from my first book which addresses angry email replies.
