Detroit Lakes Rotary Clubs to Host Free Internet Safety Seminar on Monday at DLHS

Posted: 26 Nov 2021 06:00 AM PST

If you want to learn how to “be smart on the Internet,” the Rotary Breakfast and Noon clubs of Detroit Lakes have teamed up to present a free public information seminar on cybersecurity and digital citizenship this Monday, November 29.

Anyone from grade 6 through adulthood is welcome to attend the 7 p.m. event, which will be held in the brand new common area of ​​Detroit Lakes High School. Teachers can even earn continuing education credits for doing so, according to Kent Mollberg, who will present the seminar.

Mollberg, a retired teacher and media specialist who has worked in Detroit Lakes public schools for nearly 30 years and holds a master’s degree in information technology, says he developed this seminar “after seeing from his own eyes some of the dangers of the Internet that students face on a daily basis. “

“I have witnessed serious cyberbullying and identity theft that children use against each other,” he explained in an interview on Tuesday.

A member of the Breakfast Rotary Club of Detroit Lakes, Mollberg said he has presented Internet safety seminars at more than 200 schools and professional conferences, to an estimated audience of more than 50,000. He said the two local Rotary clubs were looking to present a common event when they approached him about it.

"The Detroit Lakes Breakfast and Noon Clubs are sponsoring this event to support the education of not only the youth in our community, but also those who may be vulnerable to cybersecurity risks," said Travis Stone, president of the Noon Rotary Club. “This event supports Rotary’s guiding principles, which focus on the truth, the best interests of all, and aim to create goodwill and better friendships.”

Stone also noted that the seminar should be of particular interest to members of the Detroit Lakes Interact Club, who are considered "junior" Rotarians.

"The interlocutors are the young people of our community who seek to improve their community through their good deeds and their volunteer spirit," he said. “This event helps show Interact members an area in which they are vulnerable and how to be safe in a world that is evolving to include more and more digital forums for communication and connectivity.”

Mollberg said his seminar “will cover anything you can imagine” – from cyberbullying and harassment and sexting, to tech addiction and identity theft.

"I use the media to teach media safety skills," he added. "The Internet is the new Wild West. No one is in charge.

"Children think of social media as an extension of their life that ‘lives’ outside of their body. Technology now belongs to adolescents. When your cell phone is not working, what do you do? You give it to your son or daughter and say, ‘What’s wrong with that?’ and they know! “

Mollberg said that when he attended school as a child, the main discipline issues in school were “talking (in class), chewing gum, making noise, running down the hall, move in the queue, wear inappropriate clothes and do not use the recycle bin. “

The main school discipline issues today, on the other hand, are “drugs and alcohol, sexual harassment, theft and assault, social media, cyberbullying and school shootings.”

"On top of that, the schools are nothing like the schools we attended when we were young," he said. “Plus, today’s students are the first generation who can’t trust everything they read and hear.”

Mollberg also noted that there are over 780,000 registered sexual predators in the United States, and that approximately 100,000 of them have been “lost in the system,” that is, the forces of the order do not know where they are.

"Still, one of the six teens is ready to meet someone he has only spoken to online," he said. “The predators are real and they are looking for our children.”

Mollberg noted that the most common bad choices children make in school that cause them problems include:

  • Take pictures in the school toilets or changing rooms;
  • Threatening to harm the school or other students;
  • "Like" a shooting incident on social media or post "hate groups" on the Internet.

“Sharing a picture of a teacher or administrator is another big mistake,” he said, “but by far the most common mistake is inappropriate research using school technology.” .

And it’s not just kids who can get in trouble, he added.

"Every time you touch your phone or device, someone is following you," Mollberg said. "They monitor every move you make. Plus, your actions online have real-world consequences. Once you post something online, you can’t take it back. What you post might have more audience. wide than you might think. “

Another growing concern is online identity theft.

"If you use the web for commerce, there’s a good chance you’re a target," Mollberg said. "Someone rarely goes to jail for Internet theft, because most thieves come from other countries and are never prosecuted, let alone wanted. “

Cyberbullying is another problem that can affect both children and adults.

"We’re much more willing to write something in a text or an email than we would ever say in person," Mollberg said. “Text messages and emails are forwarded all the time. Oral conversations are not. When you write something, it is permanent and can be used against you.”

Mollberg added that although it is free and open to the public, Monday’s seminar is aimed at people of school age and older, as some of the topics “are not suitable for young children.” He also noted that all public school teachers and other educators who wish to participate can also receive continuing education credits for doing so.

Posted: 25 Nov 2021 11:16 AM PST

Nov. 25 (Reuters) – UK robotics software firm Blue Prism (PRSMB.L) has accepted a final takeover bid of 1.22 billion pounds ($ 1.63 billion) from the US capital firm -Vista Equity investment, the parties said Thursday, going beyond a proposal from SS&C Technologies (SSNC.O).

The increased cash offer of 1,250 pence per share from Bali Bidco Ltd, a company indirectly owned by Vista, comes amid objections from activist investor Coast Capital, who backed the US-based SS&C proposal.

Bali Bidco said it would fund the deal from existing cash resources.

Blue Prism directors have unanimously recommended that shareholders vote in favor of the Vista deal at meetings scheduled for December 9.

Last week, SS&C made a £ 1.16 billion takeover offer from the UK software company.

Blue Prism, which counts automaker Daimler (DAIGn.DE), eBay (EBAY.O) and Britain’s National Health Service among its customers, initially agreed to be acquired by Vista in September for £ 1.09 billion. Read more

U.S.-based Coast Capital, which owns an estimated 2.8% stake in Blue Prism, opposed Vista’s proposal, saying the sale process was flawed. Blue Prism defended the deal, saying it was better than continuing as a stand-alone business. Read more

Blue Prism shares ended up about 0.6% at 1,215 pence on Thursday, before Vista’s revised offer was made after the market closed.

Exclusive Networks signs with Alkira

Posted: 25 Nov 2021 05:28 AM PST

Alkira appointed Exclusive Networks to showcase its Cloud Networking as a Service (CNaaS) platform. This makes Alkira’s Cloud Services Exchange (CSX) available through Exclusive’s partners in 40 countries on five continents.

The artificially intelligent CSX system is so intelligent that it allows service providers to solve major network problems with “a few mouse clicks,” the distributor said.

Access to CSX empowers system integrators and service providers to solve serious network problems caused by aggressive cloud growth.

Lack of networking expertise and control is costing the industry billions of pounds, wasted resources and security compromises are just two of many issues, according to Alkira founder and CEO Amir Khan. As a result, networks cost too much, are easily hacked and are difficult to defend.

The problem is, there are too many variables and not enough time to configure. IDC’s analysis puts the value of solving these problems at $ 1.3 billion by 2025.

According to Khan, CNaaS is networking’s answer to web services. After selling pioneer SDN Viptela to Cisco, Khan spent two years designing a system to solve the next big problem: controlling networks as the cloud began to eclipse everything else. This work resulted in CSX, which uses artificial intelligence (AI) to keep control of millions of network management variables – ranging from capacity provision to firewall settings – and hand control back to network managers. .

"We are making networking easier in the cloud age," said Khan, adding that his new channel partner, Exclusive Networks, has the same vision and has been appointed to upgrade their service provider partners to CNaaS.

Exclusive’s Global Service Integrator (GSI) partners are the first step, said Denis Ferrand-Ajchenbaum, Exclusivities Vice President of Global Vendor Alliances and Business Development, as companies are doing the most to accelerate public cloud adoption.

"These guys are speaking at the C level of the Global 2000," he said. "We are taking a step-by-step approach in Europe, starting with the leading countries of the UK, France and Germany, but keeping an eye on the Benelux, the Nordic countries and Spain. “

Exclusive sold € 2.9 billion of cybersecurity, network and cloud infrastructure in 2020 for vendors such as Fortinet, Nutanix, Palo Alto Networks, Rubrik and Sentinel One.

Now service providers can reduce the complexity and costs of building and operating networks for their customers, said Ferrand-Ajchenbaum. "Many companies have not been prepared for the challenges of working in public cloud environments and the technical issues of interconnecting different clouds," he said.

Andy Travers, Executive Vice President of Global Sales and Marketing at Exclusive Networks, said: "With just a few mouse clicks, Alkira’s CNaaS enables secure hybrid and multicloud cloud networks to be set up in hours rather than in months, and puts customers, not the big cloud providers, in the driver’s seat.

Exclusive aims to make this technology more accessible. "The dominant position of public cloud providers has worked against some of our smaller partners," said Ferrand-Ajchenbaum. "For example, it is not possible to make more than about 7% margin on AWS Marketplace, which is very poor for this industry.

Global service partners are the top priority, according to Ferrand-Ajchenbaum, but Exclusive plans to roll out Alkira service to other resellers in the new year.

Boy Scouts will lobby bill to curb tactics used in bankruptcy proceedings

Posted: 24 Nov 2021 01:12 PM PST

With Daniel Lippman

PROGRAMMING NOTE: We will be off Thanksgiving this Thursday and Friday, but we will be resuming our normal schedule on Monday, November 29.

THE BOY SCOUTS WILL RELEASE ON THE BANKRUPTCY INVOICE: The Boy Scouts of America hired the former Democratic representative from Alabama. Bud Cramer and Jefferies Murray of Group 535 lobby for bankruptcy reform legislation to curb a settlement practice that would free troop sponsors, including tens of thousands of churches and civic groups; local councils; and the national Boy Scouts organization for responsibility for sexual abuse complaints filed against the organization.

– The House Judiciary Committee this month approved the law prohibiting the release of non-debtors. The bill targets what Democrats describe as a loophole in the bankruptcy code that “helped the Sackler family, the people and institutions that made it possible Larry Nassar, and others like them escape responsibility for wrongdoing through bankruptcy proceedings. ”

– The bill would restrict the use of third party, or non-debtor, discharges in bankruptcy proceedings, except with the express consent of creditors. The practice, which has divided federal courts, protects affiliates, officers or other stakeholders who may be accused of wrongdoing but who have not themselves filed for bankruptcy – in exchange for settlement payments and, in the case of Boy Scouts, signing rights insurance. The tactic has been used in the bankruptcy settlements of several high-profile cases in recent years, including that of the opioid maker Purdue pharma, United States Gymnastics and the dioceses of the church.

– The bill would also place restrictions on the ability of bankruptcy courts to stay lawsuits against third parties while a repayment plan is negotiated, and allow courts to dismiss Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization cases if a debtor was formed in a divisional merger that took place within the last decade. Critics of the bill, which was approved by parties, argue that the legislation could disrupt bankruptcy proceedings in favor of lengthy litigation that may result in less collection or no resolution at all, while empowering a small number of recalcitrant creditors. .

– "The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) have engaged Group 535 to help explain our proposed reorganization plan to lawmakers and demonstrate how the current structure is the best way forward for Scouting and for Survivors, with this plan on. the point of establishing the largest sexual abuse compensation fund in US history, “a spokesperson told PI, adding that the organization has” spent nearly two years working on a restructuring funding to reach a resolution that will fairly compensate survivors of past abuse and ensure that Scouting’s mission continues. . ” The Associated Press reported this fall that ballots to endorse the Boy Scout reorganization plan and proposed $ 1.6 billion trust fund are being sent to the more than 82,000 men who say they were assaulted as Boy Scouts.

Good afternoon and welcome to PI. I’ll be out for Thanksgiving tomorrow and Friday, but PI will be back in your inboxes on Monday. Until then, keep sending these tips, and I hope you have a relaxing vacation: [email protected]. And don’t forget to follow me on Twitter: @caitlinoprysko.

THE PANDEMIC PREPAREDNESS GROUP RELEASES: Guarding against pandemics, an advocacy group that calls for more investment in preparing for the next pandemic, is stepping up its lobbying operations as it seeks to increase the amount of funds included in the Democrats’ reconciliation bill or by other ways.

– According to disclosures filed this week, Varun Krovi, a former House Democratic collaborator and former lobbyist at Invariant, registered as an internal lobbyist for the group in September. The group hired a team of more than a dozen lobbyists to Ogilvy Government Relations a month later, according to another disclosure dossier. The group, which is funded in part by crypto billionaire and donor Biden Sam Bankman-Fried, already hired Van Scoyoc Associates in August.

– Guarding Against Pandemics fought for Democrats to provide $ 30 billion for pandemic preparedness in their reconciliation bill, a number initially requested by the president Joe biden this spring. He then reduced that figure to $ 15 billion, and the amount included in the version passed by the House last week was further reduced, to $ 3 billion, according to figures from the Kaiser Family Foundation. Another $ 16.2 billion would be used to build public health infrastructure.

– Responding to previous reports that pandemic preparedness funding could be cut as Democrats seek to lower the price of the bill, Guarding Against Pandemics called the suggestion “unthinkable.” The group also applauded the pandemic preparedness provisions in the legislation introduced by representatives. Diana DeGette (D-Col.) And Fred upton (R-Mich.) Last week, although this bill faces a high chance in a tightly divided Congress.

Priyanka Chopra Ends Shared Rumors, Shares “Jonas Brothers Family Roast” Music Video

Posted: 23 Nov 2021 10:11 PM PST

Actress Priyanka Chopra Jonas took to the rumors of her breakup with popstar husband Nick Jonas by sharing a clip from their Netflix comedy special ‘Jonas Brothers Family Roast’.

On Monday, Priyanka deleted her last name, along with her husband’s last name, from all social media.

Her move led to speculation that the 39-year-old actor was separating from the American singer-songwriter, whom she married in 2018.

Speaking to Instagram on Tuesday night, Priyanka shared a clip from the show, where she was seen roasting Nick (29).

” I brought my husband and his brothers a nice roast for dinner. The perks of being a Jonah, ” she wrote with a cheeky, mute emoticon.

In the clip, the ‘Dil Dhadakne Do’ star is seen poking fun at the duo’s 10-year age gap.

Priyanka said the couple were learning a lot about each other: As Nick showed her how to use the TikTok social networking service, she joked, “I showed her what a successful acting career looked like.” She also joked that she was the most famous Jonah in the family.

"Plus, have you noticed the amount of content the Jonas Brothers are posting online? Like, they’re forever on Instagram, still on their phones. This is so cute. I will tell you why. Because all of them combined have even fewer followers than I do.

“So I guess the most popular Jonah is @PriyankaChopra on Instagram.” The actress is currently awaiting the release of her highly anticipated Hollywood film “The Matrix Resurrections”, which is slated for release in theaters around the world on December 22.

Hollywood star Keanu Reeves stars as Neo in the Warner Bros. Pictures backed film series, which also stars Carrie-Anne Moss, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Jessica Henwick and Neil Patrick Harris.

Social Selling: Strengthening Online Relationships for Business Visibility and Success | New times

Posted: 23 Nov 2021 02:15 PM PST

When a business uses its social media channels to connect with potential customers, engage and develop a connection with them, it’s called social selling.

Distinct from social media marketing, social selling goes beyond creating and sharing content on social media networks. It goes even further to reach and connect with potential customers.

The goal of social selling goes beyond marketing and branding goals, its emphasis is on building established relationships with customers.

Social Selling leverages social media channels to interact directly with buyers. sharp photo.

This form of marketing is done by sellers for the purpose of leveraging social media channels to interact directly with their buyers.

Importance

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, most businesses have moved their services online. It is therefore imperative that networking and relationship building be moved online and prioritized – this is where social selling comes in.

Social selling creates opportunities to connect with new potential customers on social media, where they are already active and engaged in conversations.

Studies have found that leading social selling companies create 45% more selling opportunities than brands with a low social selling index.

Additionally, companies that prioritize social selling are 51% more likely to meet their sales quotas, while 78% of companies that use social selling sell more than companies that do not use media. social.

David Kwizera, an entrepreneur, says that when you understand the role of social selling, it has vast benefits.

He explains that the difference between social media marketing and social selling is that this tact is mostly used by those with sales skills.

This, he notes, plays an important role when it comes to generating higher quality leads and other important deals for an organization.

"As an entrepreneur, I think this is a crucial element for any organization. And when done right, the benefits are far better than other tactics and skills used in a business, "he says.

Kwizera goes on to note that while this form of marketing is mostly done by salespeople, it is also ideal to impart skills to the whole team as everyone needs to be engaged for tangible and massive results.

For Emmy Rwagasore, entrepreneur and saleswoman, adopting the social selling aspect in any business will increase the visibility of your brand.

It would be even better if all employees were trained on how to share organizational content, as it will help reach a large number of consumers, he says.

To support Rwagasore’s sentiments, various sites and online studies also note that, naturally, companies gain the most from having most or all of the employees active in social selling. But, employees in various departments also reap the benefits by becoming active social salespeople as well.

Additionally, increasing quality leads can help sales; Social selling is a great way to increase business transactions and improve success rates.

"It would literally mean an increase in the number of clients and customers of a business. And above all, more income for the organization, "he says.

Marie Chantal Umunyana, an entrepreneur in a digital health start-up, believes that social selling also creates leadership between colleagues or employees.

If everyone is supposed to play a role in making their organization known in different ways, it certainly means that these people have taken on a role of guiding others, which is no different from being a leader, he explains. she.

“In other words, these employees can become the go-to source of information, which means they are now a trusted resource for buyers and customers, making them good leaders to follow or emulate.” , she says.

Disabled Military Couple Fight Scam Coaches And Business Networking Events To Help Protect Victims |

Posted: 23 Nov 2021 05:44 AM PST

GREEN VALLEY LAKE, California, 23 November 2021 / PRNewswire / – Assuaged, a charitable vegan lifestyle brand owned by military veterans, is fighting back fraudulent business coaches and networking events designed to amplify the scam experience.

"The trip here has not been easy; we burned through $ 550,000. Instead of buying a house, our disability funds were used to start our businesses and fund fraudulent coaches after they were the victims of their schemes at networking and brainstorming events, "said Thane Murphy, CEO of ‘Assuaged. "I can’t express how humiliating it was to pitch in front of a large audience and become the laughing stock. We were even ridiculed by a former NFL character. As a disabled veteran of the USMC, I felt exhausted and defeated; after surviving multiple suicide attempts, I still wanted to give up. “

Various scams and events organized by fake gurus, mentors and life coaches generate substantial profits from their members. The disabled founders of Assuaged continually educate potential victims about these types of mind-manipulation scams. These masquerades force people to fund a mentoring friendship, quickly leaving once the funds run out. "The coaching industry is unattractive full of charlatans, that’s why I left," said Todd radus by GS Hydro.

The Murphys were linked to another victim by a “finder” they both worked with. This fraudulent individual is breaking securities laws. “The birds of a feather come together,” said Chris Martin hemp farms. The Murphys provided fair warning to the Martin family after receiving a request for more “money” or “equity” with no results obtained from the contractually promised funding.

The deception was uncovered after their venture capitalist (VC) took a deep look at the contract. Many “finders” in this industry are deceptive, which makes a business uninvestable because the finder is not legitimate. In addition, the payments were made to an “entertainment company”.

Fake mentors, coaches, and scheming book authors use the "get-rich-quick" principle to fraudulently manipulate people into believing they need them to be successful. Some of these business coaches are famous people. These imposters deceive people by spending massive amounts of money on false principles using their “mind” and “power” to manifest money.

Cynthia Cherise Murphy, a disabled serial entrepreneur and Chief Financial Officer of Assuaged, reacts to deceived people into giving away their hard-earned money. “Using the imagination to manifest financial success is deceptive. Counterfeit NLP coaches and mentors promise the impossible at huge costs. They defraud and manipulate honest and hopeful entrepreneurs. It must stop.” She added, “Success comes by working hard to grow, making wise investments and learning how to fail quickly. Many lawsuits are on the rise because these scammers are exposed.”

Assuaged has a long list of famous mentors, and they mark a milestone in its success as a start-up fueled by the enthusiasm of its network of over 400 student interns. "We provide an atmosphere for students to learn and develop their skills," said Mercedes Monita, director of public health and military veteran. “We are a community of people who are building a meaningful brand that aims to create thousands of jobs.”

Assuaged has used a variety of creative ways to help people without asking them to open their wallets.

  • Treacher Collins Syndrome Survivor Cynthia Cherise Murphy strutted and rocked the beauty status quo for the 8th time to benefit FAO celebrities Schwarz Kiss the Monkeys. After recruiting four disabled models to join her on the catwalk, she began creating a virtual student internship program using their monthly disability funds.
  • The Murphy’s actively sponsor several charitable causes. They collected 2,000 pounds of Arnel’s Originals Gluten Free Flour and donated it to various causes for the homeless. The Murphy’s also donated four Cochlear hearing aids worth $ 20,000 to craniofacial families refused by medical insurance.

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. (KTXL) – Pacific Gas & Electric received two citations from state regulators on Monday for several safety failures.

The California Public Utilities Commission has issued citations, totaling $ 7.5 million, for what it said was PG&E’s failure to properly inspect and repair transmission lines from 2009 to 2018 , as well as tens of thousands of distribution poles in the utility area of ​​the power company.

The first quote of $ 5 million relates to a notification sent by PG&E to the CPUC in 2019 warning that an inspection of the Ignacio-Alto-Sausalito transmission lines revealed “high priority deficiencies” on 21 transmission towers. These issues included rusted and damaged tower parts, gaskets and “C” hooks, which are used to connect power lines to towers.

These deficiencies posed “an immediate risk of high potential impact on safety or reliability” and required immediate correction, the CPUC said.

Although PG&E started what they called the Sausalito Emergency Project to correct these problems, the CPUC said the company had failed to address the shortcomings within the time frame set by rule 18 of the ordinance. General 95 of the CPUC. PG&E completed the project in April 2020.

The other quote, totaling $ 2.5 million, relates to another notification sent by PG&E in 2019 to regulators identifying 54,755 distribution poles that required routine inspections. These poles had been inspected as part of the Forest Fire Safety Inspection Program, but this program did not meet all of the criteria set out in the CPUC General Order.

PG&E was instructed to work quickly to inspect the poles and update their records, but that work was not completed, CPUC said.

The CPUC said the quotes came from an incident in 2020 – when a distribution pole ran aground in a customer’s yard in Danville. CPUC found that PG&E inspection procedures for these poles failed to assess their structural integrity and identify dry rot.

In response to the quotes, PG&E released this statement to FOX40:

The safety of our customers and the communities we serve is PG&E’s most important responsibility.

From 2019 to 2021, PG&E discovered issues with some of our equipment inspection findings and processes. In our commitment to transparency, we reported these issues to the California Public Utilities Commission. PG&E also created corrective action plans to resolve issues safely and as quickly as possible, including completing missed inspections and performing high priority transmission line replacements.

These actions do not change the fact that we did not live up to our commitment to our customers and our communities in every case.

In November 2021, PG&E received two citations, with financial penalties totaling $ 7.5 million, and a directive letter from the California Public Utilities Commission Security and Enforcement Division regarding auto -company statements.

PG&E will also continue to implement a strong suite of corrective actions, and we are working hand in hand with the Security and Enforcement Division of the CPUC to show how we continue to improve our processes.
