Separatists led by Admiral Trench battle Republic forces led by Anakin and Mace Windu for the Republic shipyards on Anaxes. Rex has an idea of why things are going badly: analytics; the droids know Rex's strategies too well. They plan to take a small squad to the enemy Cyber Center, where intel is processed, to see if they can figure out what's happening. Before leaving, Rex and Cody chat about losing Fives, Echo, and Hevy during the war, which makes me feel bad for Droidbait and Cutup. Rex thinks Echo is alive, because their battle plans are old ones he and Echo drew up, and also because he has to remind us that Echo died several seasons ago.Rex and Cody leave to meet up with their squad for the mission: Clone Force 99, AKA The Bad Batch! Hunter, the leader! Tech, the smart one! Crosshair, the sharpshooter! Wrecker, the big one! These guys seem cool enough to have their own show. They join up with Rex, Cody, and 501st clones Kix and Jesse to find what the Separatists are using to outwit the Republic. Their gunship is shot down, and with a large number of droids incoming, the Bad Batch goes to work showing off their cool skills, which involve Wrecker lifting things, Hunter stabbing things, and Tech saying numbers while Crosshair shoots.The team infiltrates the Cyber Center, break into the computers and discover that the algorithm they've been looking for is a live signal from the planet Skako Minor. When they try to find out who is sending the signal, they get the answer 'CT-1409'. As the clones escape from the facility, Rex reveals that CT-1409 is Echo. Rex is trying to get support for Echo's rescue mission and Anakin suggests highlighting the goal of finding out how the Separatists are predicting their strategy. Did Anakin sexually contract politics from Padme? Then Anakin changes subjects and says that he and Rex need to do that ‘thing'. Rex excuses himself and follows Anakin.Rex watches the door while Anakin Space Times Padme who is positively glowing. Anakin and Padme have an actual conversation and look like they genuinely regret being apart. I think those two kids are going to make it. Anakin is worried about Rex being too attached to personal attachments, Padme suggests that Anakin has made the same mistakes once or twice and Anakin actually cops to it.Obi-Wan rolls up on Rex and makes him sweat trying to find excuses for Anakin's chatting with his wife. Obi-Wan lets him them the hook and says that he hopes Anakin told Padme he says hello. Anakin hasn't grown too much because he looks pissed rather than embarrassed. Is Star Wars allowed to do ‘show don't tell', because that was a great scene. While on their way to Skako Minor Wrecker is working out with a G0NK droid. We told you Dave Filoni was a fan of this podcast. The clones land and are accosted by the aliens from Crystal Skull riding small dragons. Anakin is snatched and taken to their village. Anakin is rescued and it turns out the locals don't want the war to come to their planet.Meanwhile Admiral Trench calls Wat Tambor to tell him the clones are on their way. Wat thinks that the Techno Union has corporate neutrality, but Trench suggests that a black-ops squad might not have a JAG officer to advise them on rules of engagement here. The clones infiltrate the Techno Union base, Wrecker goes absolutely nuts on some droids, suggesting that some Gronkowski DNA might have been involved in his personal mutation. That party cruise is wild. The clones find a Vault-Tec stasis pod and it was Echo all along.https://twitter.com/ClosingCrawlhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/closing-crawl/id1530133296https://www.closingcrawl.com/Merch at: https://bit.ly/spacetimetm

Tech-related business insurance is evolving fast and Anthony Dolce, our guest on this episode of Chattinn Cyber, is a thought leader at the forefront. As head of Professional Liability & Cyber Underwriting at The Hartford, he brings 25 years of industry expertise to the myriad issues shaping policy development and recommended coverages for businesses – whether tech giants or third-party users of technology. Anthony explains the differences between Cyber and Tech Errors & Omissions (E&O) policies – as well as who needs which and in what combination. He also highlights for Host March Schein, National Co-Chair of the Cyber Center for Excellence, the confluence of factors that make tech companies such attractive targets for threat actors. You'll learn about the most common – and damaging – cyber liabilities out there; things like network attacks, ransom ware assaults, data breaches, business interruption, data restoration costs and third-party vulnerabilities. And don't miss our guest's comprehensive list of best practices to control risk for companies of all kinds, whatever their core business. “Nothing's a silver bullet, but you can help mitigate potential exposure,” says Anthony, whose Connecticut-based career began in claims before migrating to underwriting. Find out what differentiates The Hartford's Tech E&O and Cyber insurance solutions and how their team of experts guarantee insureds the best possible outcomes when privacy breaches, data hacks or other negative events occur. (Hint: specialized expertise and preparedness are key!) Key Takeaways: Why taking a leap and moving to the business side at The Hartford was one of those pivotal choices that changed the course of Anthony's career – and all too the good! From claims to underwriting: How Anthony made the jump and why it has shifted his focus. About the collaborative, social elements that define much of the underwriter's process and goals. What's a Cyber Policy? If you're doing business of any kind on the internet, then you probably need some form of coverage. What's a Tech E&O Policy? If you providing a tech service of some kind, then you probably need some form of coverage. At the intersection: A look at insurance policies that simultaneously cover exposures in the realms of both Cyber and Tech C&E exposure. About the evolution of Tech E&O + Cyber and coverages required in an internet economy full of data transmittal, management and risk exposures. Why large technology companies are such high-value targets for threat actors eager to double-dip by accessing downstream secondary client information. How The Hartford differentiates itself as an established carrier with a wide array of solutions for any business eventuality: Stand-alone Tech E&O coverage. Tech E&O coverage + cyber coverage. A wide variety of mix-and-match options. Specialized tech expertise to ensure optimal insurance outcomes. About potential cyber liabilities unique to technology firms: Network cyber-attacks. Ransom ware attacks. Data breaches (and related extortion). Business interruption. Data restoration costs. Professional/product exposure due to third-party contractual, regulatory or subrogation issues. Supply chain and systemic risk: A closer look at the variety of vulnerabilities passed down to companies impacted by global industry events. Recommended best practices to note: Perform regular software composition analyses. Deploy tools to track vulnerabilities. Undertake regular code reviews, including both static and dynamic scans. Implement regular in-house or third-party security and resiliency testing. Develop a solid IRP (Incident Response Plan). Ensure that your cyber insurance carrier is an integral part of your IRP. Stage incident response table-top exercises to align all stakeholders. Establish a roll-back plan to close vulnerabilities and limit negative events.

Today: We highlight a local nonprofit: the My Why Foundation. We talk to founder John Travis and enthusiastic supporter Chris Willox about how the nonprofit came to be and how they try to accomplish their mission: to help close the wealth gap and get people invested in their futures - literally. They're currently providing classes that teach people how to get started with investing AND they're giving away free money to the people that do so! Not only that, but they are also working to improve our school curriculums to promote financial literacy. Support them today!

Today: We catch up with an old friend. When we interviewed Jason Craig in 2019, he was an up and coming artist with an awesome story and a really cool plan. Now, after he has become, in his words, a one-man-agency, it's probably safe to say that he exceeded his own expectations. We talk about his murals around the city, his mural camp that was an incredible hit, his worldwide work, his accolades (he doesn't love to share these so we made him talk about it all), and his vision for making Augusta a better place in his own way.

Today: Davis Branch with Song Shape Studios. Davis has somewhat of a non-traditional story for DropTheDis, as he is not a local business owner that one might recognize from their signs on the street, and he does a lot of his work with clients outside the city, but he is helping to put Augusta on the map - the music map. He works with local artists like Mackenzie Blake all the way to artists in Norway, as well as a few celebrities whose names you'll likely recognize. After Covid, Davis moved to Augusta, where Song Shape Studios, well...took shape. He currently produces incredible music from his own home.
