SummaryWhat's problematic about philanthropy in the ways the sector has practiced it for many decades?Are there limits to trust-based philanthropy?How do boards of grant-making philanthropies such as the Global Fund for Children have to change their composition, mindset, and oversight practices to lessen a compliance and upward accountability lens and to make themselves more responsive to actual needs? In this NGO Soul+Strategy podcast episode, I interview John Hecklinger, President and CEO at Global Fund for Children, on how we can practice philanthropy that's less colonial in mindset and practices.John's Bio:President and CEO, Global Fund for Children (GFC)Co-Chair, Alliance for International Youth DevelopmentChief Program Officer, Global GivingBusiness development director, Global GivingDirector of Data Acquisition in the private sectorPeacecorp volunteer (US volunteering program) We discuss: Global Fund for Children acts as an intermediary in on-granting philanthropic resources from family and corporate foundations to child and youth-focused, local civil society organizations. It also facilitates peer cohort capacity strengthening among grantee partnersWhat John learned from working at Global Giving in terms of its innovative role in introducing crowdfunding to the nonprofit and citizen-giving sector The risks when well-intentioned philanthropic organizations reinforce a mindset of compliance and upward accountabilityGFC stimulates homegrown philanthropy because communities have assets that can be leveraged How GFC's board had to evolve in composition, mindset and practices composition to be liberated from simply approving ‘pre-baked' dockets of prepared projects and to move to an approach that allowed GFC to become more flexible and responsive to needsWhat does the future of philanthropy look like, beyond grantmaking, when on-granting organizations such as GFC have taken themselves out of the picture?

We were delighted this week to have Dr. Tarek Razek (https://twitter.com/Trazek) on the podcast with us. Dr. Razek is a trauma surgeon at McGill University and really a major figure in global surgery in Canada, and he pondered with us the questions with us of how we can best make an impact in global surgery without repeating the colonialism of the past. His approach is beautifully summarized in his piece published in the Lancet in 2015, where he wrote, “However, now that increasing attention is being paid to surgery in public health, we must also capitalise on this opportunity to move beyond descriptive studies.” Please enjoy our conversation with Dr. Razek.

In this episode of the Futurum Tech Webcast, I was joined by my colleague, Fred McClimans, to take a look at the Russian government hack of the multiple government agencies, likely some Fortune 500 companies including telecoms and global accounting firms — and counting. We explored the timeline as we know it today, how the hack happened and the role Texas-based SolarWinds software played in the hack, how it was discovered, and the role the Three As: acquisition, aggregation, and activation of data play in a cyberattack. For starters, it's safe to say the U.S. in general has been stunned by this attack, and with good reason. This is easily the biggest crises the NSA has encountered and the threat and risk of exposure for critical information, security, and infrastructure is high. Early assessments point to a state actor, Russia's S.V.R., a successor to the KGB, as the mastermind behind the cyberattack. The hackers, known by the nicknames APT29 or Cozy Bear are part of the SVR and are the same group that hacked the White House email servers and the U.S. State Department during the Obama administration. Our discussion included: The timeline of the attack, first discovered by FireEye, a global cybersecurity firm, about a week ago. After reviewing some 50,000 lines of source code, the FireEye team discovered the culprit — a backdoor vulnerability in a product made by SolarWinds, a software provider serving all five branches of the U.S. military, the Pentagon, the State Department, NASA, the National Security Agency, the Department of Justice and the White House. Also 10 leading U.S. telecoms companies and top five U.S. accounting firms are SolarWinds customers, along with many other of the Fortune 500. The Treasury Department and Commerce Departments were the first breaches discovered, and we now know those affected includes the State Department, the Department of Homeland Security, whose Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is in charge of — well, cybersecurity, and there are no doubt more targets that will be discovered as the investigation continues. FireEye said that its investigation had identified “a global campaign targeting” governments and the private sector that, beginning in the spring had slipped malware into a SolarWinds update. This malware gave hackers remote access to a network, making everything visible. SolarWinds estimates some 18,000 users, both private and government entities, unwittingly downloaded the Russian-tainted malware as part of a routine software update. The attack was “the day you prepare against” said Sarah Bloom Raskin, the deputy Treasury secretary under the Obama administration, and it's safe to say there are cybersecurity experts the world over who've been operating on little sleep since the hack was discovered. We talked in depth about the three As of a hack (this one or any cyberattack) as being very simple: it's all about data. Data Acquisition, Data Aggregation, and Data Activation. Getting it, organizing it, and then figuring out how best to use it to achieve your goals, nefarious or otherwise. The CISA issued an emergency directive this past Sunday to power down the SolarWinds software. While that is a logical, and important move, what it means is that a whole lot of very large organizations are likely “flying blind” without the use of software they've long relied on for access and visibility into their systems. This hack is a direct hit to the digital supply chain and is an example of what happens above the operating system. It no doubt will be a security event that will likely have far-reaching impact, and we're certain there are many interesting discoveries still ahead. We've done research on security and the role it plays in the enterprise and in governments for both Dell and Cisco in recent months. If you're interested in security and what business leaders are thinking about their organizations' security, we encourage you to download and read this research.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.09.24.294983v1?rss=1 Authors: Bouvette, J., Liu, H.-F., Du, X., Zhou, Y., Sikkema, A. P., Rezende E Mello, J. D. F., Klemm, B., Huang, R., Schaaper, R. M., Borgnia, M. J., Bartesaghi, A. Abstract: Tomographic reconstruction of cryopreserved specimens imaged in an electron microscope followed by extraction and averaging of sub-volumes has been successfully used to derive atomic models of macromolecules in their biological environment. Eliminating biochemical isolation steps required by other techniques, this method opens up the cell to in-situ structural studies. However, the need to compensate for errors in targeting introduced during mechanical navigation of the specimen significantly slows down tomographic data collection thus limiting its practical value. Here, we introduce protocols for tilt-series acquisition and processing that are simultaneously consistent with high-throughput and high-resolution imaging. We achieve this by using beam-image shift to multiply the number of areas imaged at each stage position, by integrating geometrical constraints during imaging to achieve high precision targeting, and by performing per-tilt astigmatic CTF estimation and data-driven exposure weighting to improve final map resolution. We validated our beam image-shift electron cryo-tomography (BISECT) approach by determining the structure of a low molecular weight target (~300kDa) at 3.6 [A] resolution where density for individual side chains is clearly resolved.

What's the difference between PLC SCADA & DCS? A PLC, Programmable Logic Controller, reads inputs, executes logic, and writes to outputs. A SCADA, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition connects to a group of PLC's and provides remote monitoring, control, and alarming. A DCS, distributed control system, has both SCADA and PLC functionality. The PLCs are sometimes called RIO or RTU units often run proprietary or application-specific code, such as a rolling mill DCS. SCADA can then connect to a DCS using drivers such as Kepware Technologies to integrate the DCS system with other applications across your plant/enterprise. Hope this answers your question!

Moving forward to 2010, we have a virus that was thought to be in development since 2005. With a virus that’s been in development for this long you’d think this virus caused some serious damage right? Well you would be. While this malware worm didn’t target typical users, Stuxnet did target SCADA systems. SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) is a high-level supervisory operating system. It was also the system that an Iranian nuclear program used. A program that people believe Stuxnet is responsible for sabotaging. Looking further at this malware though, Stuxnet actually targets programmable logic controllers or PLCs. These are systems behind automation and controlling specific machines. Because of this Stuxnet was a worm that only affected a handful of specific computers. Unlike other malware I’ve talked about, this heavily targeted Iranian computers (with a study showing Iran got the brunt of the attack with 58.85% of reports stemming from them. Indonesia was second with 18.22% of reports.) that had specific criteria. Many people look at this and say this was clearly a focused attack since it had designated targets and even behaved in a conservative manner. The worm in question often went undetected and had measures to prevent the worm from spreading en mass. It had a cap os spreading to up to three other systems. It even would erase itself by the 24th of June 2012. While this virus didn’t impact many people it created a lot of political tension. People from both Israel and United States made subtle nods to this worm suggesting they were indeed behind it. These acts were then countered by various attacks from other countries. In fact the damage Stuxnet caused sparked foreign countries attacking US banks. At the same time though, Stuxnet is a clear example that countries or individuals these days are fully capable of creating cyber weapons. Likely not in their basement all by themselves obviously, but a group could easily pull it together. I don’t know about you but that’s frightening.
Igor Kvasov, engineering manager at Google and co-founder of SeismoTrack, joins host Andrew Geary to discuss his new book, Numerical Modeling of Seismic Responses from Fractured Reservoirs by the Grid-characteristic Method. Igor and Andrew discuss just what is the grid-characteristic method and its advantages, the future of data acquisition and seismic surveys, why numerical modeling should be used more in survey planning, and Igor's challenge to the geoscience community on numerical modeling. Get your copy of Numerical Modeling of Seismic Responses from Fractured Reservoirs by the Grid-characteristic Method today at https://seg.org/shop! Visit https://seg.org/podcast/Post/8688 for the complete show notes. This episode is proudly sponsored by TGS. BIOGRAPHY Igor Kvasov graduated from Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT), Russia, in 2008 (physics and applied mathematics). Having successfully completed his thesis on numerical simulation of wave processes in heterogeneous solid elastic bodies, Kvasov received his Ph.D. in physics and computer science from MIPT in 2011. During 2006–2015, he served as an associate professor at the MIPT Computer Science and Computational Mathematics Department. Currently, he works as an engineering manager at Google in California. As part of his research in the numerical simulation of wave processes, Kvasov has made significant improvements in and broadened the abilities of the grid-characteristic method (GCM), including the ability to handle hundreds of thousands of fractures, which corresponds to the conditions of real fractured reservoirs, and the ability to model such 3D fractured prospects using unstructured grids. His research on the properties of seismic responses from fractured reservoirs helps solve the problem of their direct detection.

A fundamental and frequently overlooked aspect of animal learning is its reliance on compatibility between the learning rules used and the attentional and motivational mechanisms directing them to process the relevant data (called here data-acquisition mechanisms). We propose that this coordinated action, which may first appear fragile and error prone, is in fact extremely powerful, and critical for understanding cognitive evolution. Using basic examples from imprinting and associative learning, we argue that by coevolving to handle the natural distribution of data in the animal's environment, learning and data-acquisition mechanisms are tuned jointly so as to facilitate effective learning using relatively little memory and computation. We then suggest that this coevolutionary process offers a feasible path for the incremental evolution of complex cognitive systems, because it can greatly simplify learning. This is illustrated by considering how animals and humans can use these simple mechanisms to learn complex patterns and represent them in the brain.

Using basic examples from imprinting and associative learning, we argue that by coevolving to handle the natural distribution of data in the animal's environment, learning and data-acquisition mechanisms are tuned jointly so as to facilitate effective learning using relatively little memory and computation. We then suggest that this coevolutionary process offers a feasible path for the incremental evolution of complex cognitive systems, because it can greatly simplify learning. This is illustrated by considering how animals and humans can use these simple mechanisms to learn complex patterns and represent them in the brain.

Paulo Sant’anna recebe pela primeira vez Marcelo Branquinho, fundador e CEO da TI Safe Segurança da Informação, para uma conversa sobre SCADA e automação industrial. Qual o significado do termo SCADA? SCADA é o acrônimo para Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition, ou seja, sistemas de controle e supervisão e aquisição de dados, que embora não estejam visíveis ao grande publico são utilizados na gerência de infraestruturas críticas muito importantes para as cidades como energia elétrica, purificação de água, sinalização de trânsito, tráfego aéreo e outros. Qual a importância da preocupação com segurança em sistemas SCADA? Esses sistemas controlam serviços fundamentais e muitos deles são antigos, criados nos anos 90, sem a preocupação com segurança lógica, somente com a física. Porém com o advento da internet, os riscos de ataques se tornaram mais visíveis, aumentando a preocupação com a segurança. Há um outro agravante: aqueles que deveriam ser os sistemas mais protegidos, são os mais negligenciados, colocando em risco a vida de milhares de pessoas, em caso de comprometimento. Alguns exemplos reais de ataque dados por Marcelo Branquinho: o incidente em uma usina de energia, que deixou milhares de pessoas sem luz na Ucrânia durante seis horas e o envenenamento de água de uma cidade norte-americana através da invasão do sistema de distribuição. Seguranca-de-Automacao-Industrial-e-SCADA Quais foram as motivações para escrever o livro “Segurança de Automação Industrial e SCADA”? Branquinho diz que o livro procura descrever o que são esses sistemas de automação e a sua importância para a sociedade. Hoje, os sistemas SCADA são vitais para o funcionamento das grandes cidades, porém o nível de segurança ainda precisa melhorar, especialmente em tempos de guerra cibernética – que já foi tema do episódio 21 do SegInfocast, através do livro “Guerra Cibernética – A próxima ameaça à segurança e o que fazer a respeito“. Quem deveria ler esse livro? Security Officers, profissionais de TI, Segurança da Informação e de Tecnologia de Automação são o público alvo do livro. Marcelo Branquinho é Engenheiro Eletricista com especialização em sistemas de computação e MBA em Gestão de Negócios. É fundador e CEO da TI Safe Segurança da Informação, além de ser especialista em sistemas SCADA com mais de 15 anos de experiência no ramo de infraestruturas críticas. É também o coordenador da formação em segurança em automação industrial. Membro sênior da ISSA Internacional.

Free Cooling Map for North America (Compliments of the DOE & The Green Grid): Air-Side economizers bring outside air into a building and distributes it to the servers. Instead of being re-circulated and cooled, the exhaust air from the servers is simply directed outside. If the outside air is particularly cold, the economizer may mix it with the exhaust air so its temperature and humidity fall within the desired range for the equipment. The air-side economizer is integrated into a central air handling system with ducting for both intake and exhaust; its filters reduce the amount of particulate matter, or contaminants, that are brought into the data center.

Background: Asthma in children is an emerging public health problem in South America. So far, research in this part of the world is limited. This paper presents the methodology and description of the data acquisition of an asthma case-control study conducted in the Central South of Chile. Methods/Design: A hospital-based case-control study about asthma (188 cases, 294 controls) in children (6-15 years) was carried out in Valdivia, Chile between November 2008 and December 2009. Data on asthma risk factors were collected by computer-assisted personal interview using validated questions from e.g. ISAAC phase II. Data on household dust exposure (endotoxin, allergen analyses), skin prick tests to most common allergens, stool examinations for parasitic infection, and blood samples (total IgE, genetics) were collected. Additionally, 492 randomly chosen blood donors were recruited in order to assess allele frequencies in the population of Valdivia. Discussion: Overall 1,173 participants were contacted. Response was 82% among cases and 65% among controls. Atopic sensitization was high (78% among cases, 47% among controls). Cases had a statistically significantly (p < .0001) increased self-reported 12-month prevalence of symptoms of rhinitis (82% vs. 51%) and wheeze (68% vs. 16%). The study is well placed to address current hypotheses about asthma and its correlates in the South American context. Results of this study might help develop novel, innovative and individualized prevention strategies in countries in transition with respect to the South American context.
