If truth be told, no matter how much you think you know that special someone, or yourself, not every holiday gift is a guaranteed smash hit.

We found that the most logical approach would be to address aspects of their livelihood.” JGI recently completed the pioneering Sustainable Livelihoods Project in Western Uganda, with a goal of reforesting riparian corridors between two forest patches where chimps live – while improving the livelihoods of rural villagers....

Almost every organization I have been a part of—big and small—has created a cybersecurity office, division, center or group that has brought the cybersecurity staff together, frequently in the same physical location. Away from everyone else. A consequence: the cybersecurity crew is isolated: people don’t know the crew and the crew doesn’t know them.
