ParablesThe SowerLuke 8:4-15This parable ultimately lays out the work of the parable. The parable reveals how readily our hearts are to receive God's word. Jesus tells the story but then he actually explains the story. He doesn't always do that. And he only lets the disciples understand this story - which is interesting because it's recorded for us - so it makes clear God's desire for US to also understand the truth Jesus expresses in this story. The average public wouldn't have heard the explanation since the disciples were the ones to ask, "What does this story mean?"Jesus expresses just how important our ears are... ears take words in and they make their way to our hearts. THEN, what we do with those words (understanding and practice) MATTERS.The footpath, the hard heart - because of how hard the ground is, the seed lays on top of the ground and the enemy snatches it up.The rocky soil, the ears hear and get excited, but the second trials come, the temptation to go back to our ways, rather than God's ways - becomes too great and there is loss.The thorns and weeds... the seed is planted, but because it's among weeds and thorns there is a competition for nutrition. The person who is looking for life won't find it because of their obsession with money and the cares of this life - as long as we think they will nourish us... we will starve. Our time and care is placed on things of this world and the seed does not produce.The good soil... the heart that is hearing (beyond just listening but understanding), BUT CLINGING TO God's words... over time produces a harvest.This parable would have frustrated the disciples. In their minds, the kingdom should come in power and outward displays - restoring Israel in power. A story about a kingdom and seeds would have seemed absurd. BUT, the story describes how the Kingdom comes AND how the King of that Kingdom comes. In order for fruit to be produced, the seed has to die so that the germ can grow and produce, that takes time... but it produces more than we could ever expect or ask for.Where is our heart when it comes to hearing? Are we "leaning in" to hear and understand Jesus' words? Are we hard and disinterested? Are we "emotional" response people - easily excited but anti-commitment? Are we still chasing money and the cares of this world and disregarding the One thing that could truly nourish us? Do we long to be the heart ready to receive, cling to, and produce fruit?

Women in labor are com[pletely occupied with giving birth. They are not thinking about defending themselves. They cannot strategize about how to escape from danger. They are focused on one thing: giving birth. The process of giving birth is a colossal struggle for life. The whole of a woman's mental energy, emotional strength, and bodily power are focused on what seems impossible and is nothing short of miraculous. A human being is about to come into the world out of her body, and the baby seems bigger than the birth canal. It looks impossible. It is a miracle of frantic human determination and astonishing divine design.“Can you imagine anything more frightening or threatening than a huge dragon? Let me suggest a way to make a dragon even more dreadful: give it seven heads. Now put a horn on each head, and three of the heads have two horns; so there are seven heads and ten horns.“Put the two images together and you have a powerful drama. A pregnant woman is in the process of giving birth, and she is threatened by a massive dragon who wants to eat her baby the moment he is born. She cannot run. She cannot hide. What hope does she have?“Do you want to heighten the desperation and urgency of the situation? The child about to be born, sure to be eaten by the dragon, is the world's last hope.

In this episode of Wine, Women, and Revolution, Heather is joined by Derek Black author of “School House Burning”. They talk about the concept that public education has been an integral part of American democracy through the earliest days of the founding of the country. As much as racism has attacked these ideals, the idea of a public education for all is so ingrained in America that is has even survived racism. Public education is under attack from both sides of the aisle these days from Betsy Devos and Chris Christie to Cory Booker and Obama’s appointees. The push for charter schools is a new form of racist attack but Derek shows us how much we can learn from studying the history, so we can move forward with an even deeper commitment to protect our education system. Education is the true path to citizenship and without it, we have nothing resembling a democracy. Transcript Auto Generated Derek Black 0:00So we had three things Common Core, teacher evaluation systems, and charter schools being pushed out on public schools during the Obama administration. Heather Warburton 0:15This is Wine Women and Revolution with your host, Heather Warburton. Hi and welcome to Wine Women and Revolution. I’m your host Heather Warburton coming at you here on Create Your Future Productions. Create Your Future Productions is the only place you can find new episodes of Wine, Women and Revolution. And you can find us online at YourFutureCreator.com follow us on all the social medias and get us wherever you get your podcasts from. Today I am going to be talking about education, which you know, is a topic I’ve covered a few times here. But I’ve got with me today the author of “School House Burning: Public Education and the Assault on American Democracy”. Derrick Black, welcome to the show. Derek Black 1:01Yeah, thanks for having me on. It’s a pleasure. Heather Warburton 1:03So I guess you know, the most important thing to talk about is when we’re recording this, Betsy DeVos is kind of going to be on her way out soon. By the time people listen to this. She may be in our last few weeks of torturing American education. So that’s kind of exciting. Derek Black 1:20Yeah, it is. I had a post I put up the other day and said after watching the, you know, the the results come in. People were enormously excited for the end of the Trump presidency and the end of him as President, but running a close second, I think was the end of Betsy Devos as Secretary of Education. I mean, if you were, if you were looking at things, they were immediately articles going up, and I actually got one of the biggest responses I’ve had and Twitter, in the last few weeks at least, and it was just mentioning that Betsy was on her way out. And certainly folks are looking forward to that. Heather Warburton 1:56Absolutely. But we can’t just pretend that all the attacks, the recent attacks on public education just started under the Trump presidency. It’s been a while now that the public education has been under attack. And whart you sort of laid out in your book is that you talk about the current political climate a little bit and dove in to the history, which that’s kind of what we’re going to do here today is a little bit of talk about how it kind of where we are and how we got to right now. And you said, you know, under Obama when he appointed Duncan, that was a pretty bad sign for how they were going to be dealing with public education. Right. Derek Black 2:35Yeah, I mean, already, Duncan had been superintendent in Chicago public schools, and had been part of a pretty massive expansion of charter schools there. And there was also clearly a divide at that moment, a lot of folks were talking about Linda Darling Hammond as being the Secretary of Education. Her name
Jesus told his disciples this parable: “A man who was going on a journey called in his servants and entrusted his possessions to them. To one he gave five talents; to another, two; to a third, one—to each according to his ability. Then he went away.” Matthew 25:14-15This passage begins the Parable of the Talents. In the end, two of the servants worked hard using what they had received to produce more. One of the servants did nothing and received condemnation. There are many lessons we can take from this parable. Let’s look at a lesson about equality.At first, it may strike you that each of the servants were entrusted with a different number of talents, a reference to the monetary system used at that time. In our day and age we tend to be fixated on what many call “equal rights.” We get envious and angry if others seem to be treated better than us and there are many who become quite vocal about any perceived lack of fairness.How would you feel if you were the one who received only one talent in this story after watching two others receive five and two talents? Would you feel cheated? Would you complain? Perhaps.Though the heart of the message in this parable is more about what one does with that which is received, it’s interesting to note that God does appear to give different portions to different people. To some He gives what appears to be an abundance of blessings and responsibility. To others He appears to give very little that is considered of value in this world.God does not lack justice in any way. Therefore, this parable should help us to accept the fact that life may not always “appear” to be fair and equal. But this is a worldly perspective, not a divine one. From the mind of God, those who have been given very little in the view of the world have as much potential to produce an abundance of good fruit as those who have been entrusted with much. Think, for example, about the difference between a billionaire and a beggar. Or about the difference between a bishop and an ordinary layman. It’s easy to compare ourselves to others, but the fact of the matter is that the only thing that matters is what we do with that which we have received. If you are a poor beggar who has been dealt a very difficult situation in life, you have just as much potential to glorify God and produce an abundance of good fruit as anyone else.Reflect, today, upon all that God has given you. What are your “talents?” What have you been given to work with in life? This would include material blessings, circumstances, natural talents and extraordinary graces. How well do you use what you have been given? Do not compare yourself to others. Instead, use what you have been given for the glory of God and you will be rewarded for all eternity.Lord, I give to You all that I am and thank You for all that You have given to me. May I use all that I have been blessed with for Your glory and for the upbuilding of Your Kingdom. May I never compare myself to others, looking only to the fulfillment of Your holy will in my life. Jesus, I trust in You.Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2020 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved. Used with permission via RSS feed.

William Wiggins, Virginia Mason Medical Center 0:26Good afternoon everyone, this is William Wiggins, coming to you from CareerXroads. In our series, that we're called Moments That Matter. moments that matter are experiences that we're communicating to our public that have been recorded or remembered by black, brown and people of diversity, where they first experienced, we're calling it woke moments in the workplace, it would be an experience that they've had, or something that they have had done to them or set them where they realize, hmm, not in Kansas anymore. And my experience is very different from that of the people that I work with. I interviewed just three weeks ago, Shelia Grey from quadron. And we had a really, really good conversation about moments that matter, I hope you tuned in. And I hope you enjoy what we have to say. And this week, I have the pleasure of interviewing my wife, Carmen Hudson, who has experienced many moments that matter as well. I'm hoping that this will be a good and fruitful interview for everyone, because Carmen and I have been together for 25 years. And we have experienced each other's moments that matter. She's been there when I've come home cursing or almost in tears, about things that have happened to me and I have been there for her as well. And so today, I hope you enjoy what we have to say and more importantly, I hope that you can gather, get something from what we have to say.

I think I know a couple but I want to hear from you, I want you to give us an incident where you first realized that this is going to be a struggle. Give us a story something that is your unique experience where you you it was a woke moment for you woke in terms of them. When I say woke, woke in terms of you realize, like I said you're not in Kansas anymore, my experience is going to be very different here than someone else's experience is going to be. And I'd like to hear from you what that is or what those are. Carmen Hudson, Recruiting Toolbox 3:05I think for me, my very first, or at least the first woke moment that I remember, was probably after college, and I moved from Detroit to Chicago went to school, in outside of Chicago, then I moved home for a little bit and then I moved back and I was excited to move back and start my life as an adult. And I partied, of course and use up all my money until very last moment. So I had to go and get a temp job. That's that's where it started. So I went to my my temp assignment, I signed up and I gotten an assignment. I'm very excited because I got to my first assignment was at an architectural firm,

“If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have won over your brother.” Matthew 18:15This passage above offers the first of three steps Jesus offers to reconcile with someone who has sinned against you. The steps Jesus offers are as follows: 1) Speak privately to the person. 2) Bring two or three others to help with the situation. 3) Bring it to the Church. If after trying all three steps you are not able to reconcile, then Jesus says, “…treat him as you would a Gentile or a tax collector.”The first and most important point to mention in this process of reconciliation is that we should keep the sin of another quiet, between them and us, until we have sincerely tried to reconcile. This is hard to do! So often when someone sins against us, the first temptation we have is to go forth and tell others about it. This may be done out of hurt, anger, a desire for revenge, or the like. So the first lesson we should learn is that the sins another commits against us are not details we have a right to tell others about, at least not at first.The next important steps offered by Jesus do involve others and the Church. But not so that we can express our anger, gossip or criticism or to bring them public humiliation. Rather, the steps of involving others are done so as to assist another in repentance, so that the person in error sees the gravity of the sin. This takes humility on our part. It requires a humble attempt to help them not only see their error but to also change.The final step, if they do no change, is to treat them like a Gentile or tax collector. But even this must be understood properly. How do we treat a Gentile or tax collector? We treat them with a desire for their continued conversion. We treat them with continued respect, while at the same time acknowledge that we are not “on the same page.”Reflect, today, upon any relationship you have that requires healing and reconciliation. Seek to follow this humble process given by our Lord and continue to remain hopeful that the grace of God will prevail.Lord, give me a humble and merciful heart so that I may reconcile with those who have sinned against me. I forgive them, dear Lord, just as You have forgiven me. Give me the grace to seek reconciliation in accord with Your perfect will. Jesus, I trust in You.Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2020 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved. Used with permission via RSS feed.
Who is the finest rock band to come out of Winnipeg, Canada? That's right, The Guess Who. In January 1970 they released their sixth studio album, American Woman, and were riding the wave of one of their most commercially successful albums in March. This album took a harder rock direction from their formerly psychedelic and pop sound, and would produce their only number 1 hit in the US, making them the first Canadian band to top the American Hot 100 chart.The Guess Who got their name in 1965 when their record label, Quality Records, released a single under the name “Guess Who?” They were attempting to build a buzz that the song might be a famous band recording incognito, but the name stuck. At the time of recording American Woman, the group consisted of Burton Cummings on lead vocals, keyboards, and harmonica, Randy Bachman on lead guitar, Jim Kale on bass, and Garry Peterson on drums. All band members contributed backing vocals to the strong harmonies of the group. This album would be Randy Bachman's last with the group (until rejoining in 1983), as he would go on to form Bachman-Turner Overdrive.Friend of the show Bill Cook stands in for the vacationing Brian Dickhute as we look back on one of Canada's greatest rock bands. No TimeThis first single off the album is a reverse “Dear John” letter. The song was originally on their album “Canned Wheat,” but made a reappearance on this album with a faster tempo. “Seasons change and so do I, you need not wonder why. There's no time left for you.”American WomanThis title song may be their best known of The Guess Who songs. Randy Bachman started this riff while tuning his guitar during a concert after breaking a string, and turned it into a chart-topping hit. The lyrics reflect the differences between girls in the States and girls in Canada. American women were considered “dangerous” by the band. 8:15This deeper cut is talking about meeting at a place at 8:15. We enjoyed the jangley guitar and the drum break in this one.No Sugar TonightThis track was the B-side from the American Woman single. Randy Bachman had written a song called “No Sugar Tonight,” and Burton Cummings thought it was too short. They added a Cummings song that was “New Mother Nature” to lengthen it. “No Sugar Tonight” was inspired when Bachman saw a tough biker berated by his wife, and she shouted out the final line “And one more thing...you ain't gettin' no sugar tonight!” ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:The Intro to ABC's “Wide World of Sports”The event that came to be known as “the agony of defeat” occurred this month when Vinko Bogataj crashed during a ski jump attempt. STAFF PICKS:Celebrate by Three Dog NightBruce's staff pick peaked at number 15, and is off Three Dog Night's second studio album called "Suitable for Framing." There are three vocalists for Three Dog Night, and they're all taking lead on this song. Danny Hutton is on lead in verse 1, Chuck Negron is on lead in verse 2, and Cory Wells is on verse 3. The song also features the Chicago horn section.Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes) by Edison LighthouseWayne features a group with Tony Burrows on lead. Burrows would have three hits fronting three different bands - Edison Lighthouse, White Plains, and Brotherhood of Man.Let It Be by The BeatlesFriend of the show Bill Cook brings us this timeless epic song from the final days of The Beatles. McCartney wrote this song during a time when the rest of his band members were moving on with their lives, and Paul wasn't sure where his life was going. In a dream his mother - named Mary - comes to him and says, "let it be."(editors note: it looks like Bruce was wrong about Ringo Starr living in Atlanta. He has homes in London, Los Angeles, and Monte Carlo, so don't look for him in Buckhead!)Always Something There to Remind Me by R.B. GreavesRob's staff pick was authored by Burt Bacharach and Hal David. R.B. Greaves recorded this version at Muscle Shoals, and took it to number 27. Most people are probably more familiar with the Naked Eyes version from 1983, which took the song to number 20. LAUGH TRACK:Do the Funky Chicken by Rufus ThomasNothing finishes off a great podcast quite like doing the funky chicken!

“If you forgive men their transgressions, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you do not forgive men, neither will your Father forgive your transgressions.” Matthew 6:14–15This passage presents us with an ideal we must strive for. It also presents us with the consequences if we do not strive for this ideal. Forgive and be forgiven. Both must be desired and sought after.When forgiveness is properly understood, it is much easier to desire, give and receive. When it is not properly understood, forgiveness can be seen as a confusing and heavy burden and, therefore, as something undesirable.Perhaps the greatest challenge to the act of forgiving another is the sense of “justice” that can appear to be lost when forgiveness is given. This is especially true when forgiveness is offered to someone who fails to ask forgiveness. On the contrary, when one does ask for forgiveness, and expresses true remorse, it is much easier to forgive and to abandon the feeling that the offender should “pay” for what was done. But when there is a lack of sorrow on the part of the offender, this leaves what can feel like a lack of justice if forgiveness is offered. This can be a difficult feeling to overcome by ourselves.It’s important to note that forgiving another does not excuse their sin. Forgiveness does not mean that the sin did not happen or that it is OK that it happened. Rather, forgiving another does the opposite. Forgiving actually points to the sin, acknowledges it and makes it a central focus. This is important to understand. By identifying the sin that is to be forgiven, and then forgiving it, justice is done in a supernatural way. Justice is fulfilled by mercy. And the mercy offered has an even greater effect on the one offering mercy than the one it is offered to. By offering mercy for the sin of another, we become freed of the effects of their sin. Mercy is a way for God to remove this hurt from our lives and free us to encounter His mercy all the more by the forgiveness of our own sins for which we could never deserve on our own effort. It’s also important to note that forgiving another does not necessarily result in reconciliation. Reconciliation between the two can only happen when the offender accepts the forgiveness offered after humbly admitting their sin. This humble and purifying act satisfies justice on a whole new level and enables these sins to be transformed into grace. And once transformed, they can even go so far as to deepen the bond of love between the two.Reflect, today, upon the person you most need to forgive. Who is it and what have they done that has offended you? Do not be afraid to offer the mercy of forgiveness and do not hesitate in doing so. The mercy you offer will bring forth the justice of God in a way that you could never accomplish by your own efforts. This act of forgiving also frees you from the burden of that sin, and enables God to forgive you of your sins.Lord, I am a sinner who is in need of Your mercy. Help me to have a heart of true sorrow for my sins and to turn to You for that grace. As I seek Your mercy, help me to also forgive the sins that others have committed against me. I do forgive. Help that forgiveness to enter deep into my whole being as an expression of Your holy and Divine Mercy. Jesus, I trust in You.Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2020 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved. Used with permission via RSS feed.

As they approached Jesus, they caught sight of the man who had been possessed by Legion, sitting there clothed and in his right mind. And they were seized with fear. Mark 5:15This short passage comes after a very dramatic story. A young man, who lives out among the tombs, is fully possessed by many demons. The demons identify themselves as “Legion” stating that there are many of them. It’s clear from the story that this man is wild, out of his mind, and fully under the control of these demons. As the story goes on, Jesus addresses the demons, rebukes them, and casts them out, sending them into a herd of swine. The swine go running down a slope and drown in the lake. Afterwards, the man is totally transformed as he sits there conversing with others.One interesting thing to note in this story is that, when the townspeople came out and saw this man sitting there “in his right mind,” they are shocked and are “seized with fear.” They do not know what to think about this situation. Why is that?Perhaps there are a number of reasons. Let’s look at one of them. This young man was so dysfunctional, being possessed by a legion of demons, that the townspeople had written him off. They gave up on him and most likely wanted nothing to do with him. They were afraid of him. But when they see this man completely transformed, sitting there looking normal and rational, the people don’t know what to think. They are shocked. And their shock takes on a form of fear in that they are afraid of what they do not understand.This reveals something interesting to us. It reveals that, if we fail to understand the power of God, we will actually find ourselves fearful of His power when confronted by it. The townspeople should have been filled with great joy and excitement at the total transformation of this man. However, instead of great joy and excitement, they were fearful. They were fearful because they did not understand God’s almighty power.Reflect, today, upon the power and glory of God. He desires to do great things and to bring total transformation to your life. He desires to cast out the evil one lurking within our world, bringing instead His mercy and peace. As you reflect upon God’s power, allow yourself to more clearly understand Him. If you understand Him, you will be more fully ready to rejoice in His good works.Lord, I rejoice in Your almighty power. I rejoice in Your greatness and glory. Help me to see the many ways that You are at work in our world and in the lives of those around me. As I see Your transforming power at work, fill my heart with gratitude for all that You do. Jesus, I trust in You.Source: catholic-daily-reflections.com
Listen to the recording of this sermon on our website: https://www.casperwels.com/sermons/what-does-it-look-like-when-our-savior-goes-after-a-lost-sheep/It is often not a sheep that you would want in the flock, but that sheep is made valuable to the shepherd and to the flock, and God is glorified by His grace to His sheep.12I give thanks to the one who empowered me, namely, Christ Jesus our Lord, that he treated me as trustworthy, appointing me into his ministry. 13He did this even though formerly I was a blasphemer, a persecutor, and a violent man. But I was shown mercy, because I acted ignorantly in unbelief. 14The grace of our Lord overflowed on me along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. 15This saying is trustworthy and worthy of full acceptance: "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners," of whom I am the worst. 16But I was shown mercy for this reason: that in me, the worst sinner, Christ Jesus might demonstrate his unlimited patience as an example for those who are going to believe in him, resulting in eternal life. 17Now to the King eternal, to the immortal, invisible, only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
Podcast: Risky BusinessEpisode: Feature Podcast: Inaction is escalatoryPub date: 2019-08-15This podcast is brought to you by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, and it’s the second in a series of podcasts we’re doing that are all about cyber policy. The Foundation funds a lot of interesting people and work in the cybersecurity space. So the idea behind this podcast series is pretty simple: we talk to Hewlett’s grant recipients, or experts in Hewlett’s network, about pressing policy issues and turn those conversations into podcasts. The whole idea is to get some policy perspectives out there among the Risky Business audience, which, funnily enough, includes a lot of policymakers. In this podcast we’re speaking with Katherine Charlet. She currently serves as the director of the Technology and International Affairs Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Prior to joining Carnegie, Kate served as the deputy assistant secretary of defence for cyber policy, where she managed the development of US Department of Defence cyber policy and strategy, its development of cyber capabilities, and the expansion of its international relationships. This conversation essentially covers what the state of affairs is when it comes to militaries and their actions in the cyber domain. It was only a few weeks ago that reports claimed the United States government launched a cyber attack against Iranian weapons systems. We’ll hear from Kate about what she thinks that all means, and then we’re going to talk about all sorts of stuff really – the blurring of the line between what warrants a law enforcement response versus a military response, what the path to this situation looked like, so on and so on. But I kicked things off by asking Kate to tell us what this concept of “defending forward” actually means. In the last couple of years we’ve heard that term bandied about by all sorts of people, but everyone seems to have a different definition. Here, Kate shares her more definitive definition.The podcast and artwork embedded on this page are from Patrick Gray, which is the property of its owner and not affiliated with or endorsed by Listen Notes, Inc.
Prosperity and happiness are guaranteed if you obey this simple command. Here are the ancient writings I used during this talk.Genesis 1:26-28The God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."And God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.And God blessed them; and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it.John 15:12-15This is my commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you. No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you.

Podcast: Unsolicited Response PodcastEpisode: Enterprise SOC or IT SOCPub date: 2018-03-15This was a great debate from S4x18. Many owner / operators have an Enterprise Secure Operations Center (SOC), and they are considering how best to handle OT incident detection and response. There are two main approaches: Add OT data and incident response capabilities to an Enterprise SOC or Set up and run a SOC dedicated to the OT environment Dan Scali of FireEye took the Enterprise SOC side and debated with Rob Lee of Dragos, who argued the OT SOC side. The great thing was these two guys are friends and respect each other, so they didn't hesitate to argue directly and strongly. It's set up as a classic debate with opening statements, rebuttals and then questions to each other. Take a listen and let me know what you think about the issue in the comments.The podcast and artwork embedded on this page are from Dale Peterson: ICS Security Catalyst and S4 Conference Chair, which is the property of its owner and not affiliated with or endorsed by Listen Notes, Inc.
Podcast: Unsolicited Response PodcastEpisode: Interview with Steve Bitar of Exxon Mobil on Open Process AutomationPub date: 2017-08-15This episode begins with a 10 minute monologue from Dale Peterson on why demonstrations of insecure by design, no SDL and modifying physical processes is not particularly interesting for the advanced ICS security audience ... and why it is still important. Then we play Dale Peterson's interview with Steve Bitar of ExxonMobil on the Open Process Automation (OPA) initiative. If the OPA is new to you, you will learn how OPA is trying to get away from single vector lock in and be able to choose the best of breed and have it work together. The more interesting part of the podcast for most will be Steve's addressing the hard questions that everyone is thinking but don't come up when you get the OPA presentation. For example: Why would a DCS vendor who has control of the account / market every want to support this? Speaking of support ... who would be responsible for the rigorous global support that ExxonMobil requires when the solution comes from many vendors? What business model changes would be required for OPA to work? Steve took on all the tough questions, because clearly they have come up behind closed doors before. As always I welcome comments and suggestions, send them to s4@digitalbond.com.The podcast and artwork embedded on this page are from Dale Peterson: ICS Security Catalyst and S4 Conference Chair, which is the property of its owner and not affiliated with or endorsed by Listen Notes, Inc.
