The Department of Homeland Security is pushing cyber modernization across civilian agencies through CISA programs such as zero trust implementation, Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation, and Trusted Internet Connections 3.0. Budget requests have kept CISA funding near $3 billion, supporting multi-year investments in detection, response, and workforce. Leadership from Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, CISA Director Jen Easterly, and DHS CIO Eric Hysen emphasizes joint defense, binding directives, and cross-component coordination. Workforce constraints persist despite the Cyber Talent Management System, prompting greater use of training and managed services. Acquisition relies on vehicles like FirstSource III, PACTS III, GSA MAS, NASA SEWP, and CDM DEFEND task orders. Compliance requirements now center on OMB secure software guidance, NIST control baselines, FIPS 140-3, and FedRAMP. Vendors that map capabilities to CISA's Zero Trust Maturity Model and prepare attestations and authorizations can better align to agency buying priorities.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

Send us Fan MailThis week Mike discusses elevated backgrounds in ICP-OES when analyzing high total dissolved solids (TDS) samples such as brines, digests, excipients, salts, and starting materials. TDS increases free electron density in the plasma, producing Bremsstrahlung (braking) radiation and recombination radiation, which raise a broad continuum background across the spectrum. The elevated background degrades signal-to-noise, increases blank standard deviation, and worsens detection limits, especially for elements with poor ICP-OES sensitivity. Mitigation approaches include dilution, matrix-matched calibration or standard additions when dilution isn't feasible.
Simon Beaumont on 6PR Mornings gauged public opinion on whether Western Australia's $35 million shark mitigation policy is effective following the recent tragic spear-fishing deaths of Stephen Motherwell and Daniel Turpin. Fisheries Minister Jackie Jarvis joined the program to defend the state's real-time data tracking, scientific tagging, and active relocation protocols, while listeners strongly debate personal ocean safety risks versus the demand for shark population control.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The full post by Alejandro Cerón can be read at https://blog.castac.org/2026/06/outbreak-mitigation-at-the-crossroads-technical-expertise-political-imperatives-and-the-myth-of-john-snow/. About the post: This essay analyzes the role of myth and narrative to analyze the tension between technical expertise and political imperatives in the work of mitigating outbreaks. The author draws upon ethnographic fieldwork with Guatemalan epidemiologists and their reflections on John Snow's intervention on cholera to show how this tension can be understood through the use of myth and narrative in society.

A foot of stormwater in your home, and a contractor saying "Let's dry it in place?" That was the scenario explored in Courtney Makris' PLRB Presents talk "When the Storm Hits Home: Courtney's Personal Journey through Hurricane Helene," and today Mike & Brennan will look at that scenario through the lens of the Categories & Classes of water, with the help of a PACE Program exercise. Notable Timestamps [ 00:06 ] - The episode introduces a real-world water loss scenario tied to a major storm, highlighting how widespread damage and contractor recommendations can complicate mitigation decisions for adjusters. [ 01:05 ] - The discussion draws from a hurricane case study and shifts focus to how water "categories" and "classes" relate to the standards guiding mitigation decisions. [ 04:24 ] - Water losses are a major focus in claims education, covering issues like pipe breaks, backups vs. overflows, and wind-driven rain—showing how varied and complex water damage scenarios can be. [ 05:11 ] - Not all water is equal; category classifications depend on contamination levels, meaning the source and exposure history of water directly impact risk and required remediation. [ 06:02 ] - Category 1 water can be clean and sanitary, Category 2 introduces contaminants that may cause illness, and Category 3 can be highly hazardous, often containing toxic or pathogenic substances. [ 07:25 ] - Practical examples like dishwasher discharge illustrate how the same appliance can produce different water categories depending on whether the source is incoming clean water or outgoing waste. [ 10:36 ] - Even seemingly clean sources like rainwater can shift categories based on contact with materials or time sitting stagnant, emphasizing that context and exposure matter. [ 12:20 ] - Floodwater is nearly always Category 3 due to contamination from ground contact and stagnation, making it especially dangerous despite common public perceptions. [ 14:46 ] - Water "class" differs from category by focusing on how much water is present, how deeply it's absorbed, and how difficult it is to dry. [ 19:01 ] - Mitigation strategies vary widely: clean water may allow simple drying, while contaminated water often requires removal of materials like drywall and insulation.

This episode covers a Sacramento Transportation Authority meeting where staff and consultants presented options for a countywide Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) mitigation program, including VMT banks and exchanges, governance choices, costs, and coordination with SACOG and a new statewide bank. Board members and stakeholders also reviewed the Stockton Boulevard Safety and Transit Enhancement Project (Stockton STEP), exploring bus rapid transit alignments, complete-streets designs, safety improvements, and community outreach plans. Finally, a citizen-led Sacramento Safe Streets and Affordable Transit ballot initiative was introduced, proposing a half-cent city sales tax split between road repair and transit, with oversight, performance audits, and dedicated housing funds; supporters discussed polling, signature gathering, and potential impacts. The meeting concluded with discussion of next steps, coordination with SACOG, contract scope and costs, and requests for further analysis and community engagement.
One of the biggest fears for residential investors moving into commercial property is the "horror story" of business rates. The idea of being liable for a significant bill regardless of whether your building is occupied or performing well is enough to put many people off the asset class entirely. In this episode, Jerry breaks down the 2026 Business Rates Revaluation to provide clarity on the current "direction of travel." We explore how rates are actually calculated, why the system often feels disconnected from reality, and what the recent changes in England, Scotland, and Wales mean for your portfolio. What you will learn: The Fundamentals: How rateable value is determined and how the "multiplier" actually works. The 2026 Revaluation: Why your bill might be changing and the specific valuation dates being used across the UK. Transitional Relief: A breakdown of the tapering systems in England, Scotland, and Wales that "soften the blow" of increases. Mitigation & Appeals: Practical steps for managing rates, from small business relief to the "Check, Challenge, Appeal" process.

In this episode, Tom Fox welcomes former Wall Street trader Joseph De Gregorio, who was federally convicted and now applies a “compliance rebuild” methodology to demonstrate genuine remediation under legal scrutiny. This is Part 1 of a two-part podcast series. Using the Matthew Bowyer illegal sports betting case, Joseph explains the federal pre-sentence interview and pre-sentence report (PSR) process, emphasizing that the probation officer's credibility assessment and PSR narrative heavily influence sentencing and downstream treatment across the federal system. He describes submitting a 3,500-word personal narrative before the PSR interview, which was attached in full and cited by the judge as mitigation, resulting in a one-year-and-a-day sentence rather than the government's four-year request. Joseph maps DOJ's seven corporate compliance program dimensions to individuals via a personal compliance manual, independent accountability structure, credentialed education, verifiable monitoring, documented transparency, voluntary discipline actions, and a post-sentencing continuous improvement plan centered on victims-first accountability.

Send me a messageWhat if voluntary carbon markets are either a vital climate tool... or a polished excuse to delay real decarbonisation?In this episode of Climate Confident, I'm joined by Dr Jennifer Jenkins, Chief Science Officer at Rubicon Carbon, to unpack one of the most contested questions in climate tech and net zero strategy: what role, if any, should voluntary carbon markets play in real-world emissions reduction? At a time when companies are under pressure to decarbonise, prove integrity, and navigate fast-moving policy shifts, this debate matters more than ever.We dig into why some firms see carbon credits as a practical way to close the gap between ambition and operational reality, and why others see them as a dangerous distraction. You'll hear why quality, additionality, MRV, and long-term offtake agreements are becoming central to the future of the market, and why high-integrity supply may be far tighter than many buyers realise.Jennifer also explains how buyers like Microsoft are shaping demand, how voluntary and compliance markets may be starting to converge, and why policy tools like CBAM could reshape the market faster than most people expect. You might be shocked to learn that one of the clearest ways to think about this space is as outsourced mitigation, a framing that makes the economics easier to grasp, but also exposes the credibility problem at the heart of the whole system.
This week Peter Neill is spending time with his library of books, sharing three titles that quietly evoke the emotion of loss, and the paradox of things lost. “An Exaltation of Larks”, by James Lipton; “A Calendar of Saints for Unbelievers”, by Glenway Wescott; and “The Atlas of Remote Islands” by Judith Shalansky each sit light in the hand, the mind, and the heart.About World Ocean Radio World Ocean Radio is a weekly series of five-minute audio essays available for syndicated use at no cost by college and community radio stations worldwide.

Cybersecurity in healthcare is no longer just an IT issue. It is a leadership, operations, and trust issue that can disrupt care, expose sensitive data, and test whether an organization is truly prepared for a crisis.In this episode, Zach Lewis, CIO and CISO at the University of Health Sciences and Pharmacy in St. Louis, shares how AI is changing the cybersecurity landscape and reflects on the real-world ransomware attack that shaped his new book, Locked Up. He explains how threat actors are using AI to accelerate reconnaissance, sharpen phishing attempts, and exploit fundamental weaknesses more quickly, while defenders still need to focus on the basics: identity, access, data protection, patching, and segmentation.Zach also walks through the moment his organization realized it was facing a LockBit ransomware attack, the decisions that followed, and the hard lessons learned from the response. He discusses why tabletop exercises matter, how security culture must be built through relationships rather than fear, and why data governance is becoming even more urgent in the age of generative AI. The conversation closes with a practical and hopeful look at where AI could create real value in healthcare, from smarter clinical support to more personalized health insights.Tune in and learn why resilience in healthcare cybersecurity depends on strong fundamentals, transparent leadership, and a clear understanding of how people, data, and technology intersect.ResourcesConnect with Zach Lewis on LinkedIn here.Visit the Homesteading CISO website.Get a copy of Locked Up: Cybersecurity Threat Mitigation Lessons from a Real-World LockBit Ransomware Response here.

ITRC's Vapor Intrusion Mitigation training is a series of eight (8) modules, presented over two sessions. If you took the ITRC VIM series previously, the content has stayed the same, but the new course directs people to the Vapor Intrusion (VI) Toolkit resources published in January 2026 by ITRC. The Vapor Intrusion Mitigation training series provides an overview of VIM and presents information from the 2026 ITRC VI Toolkit (which includes fact sheets, technology information sheets, and checklists). Session 1:Introduction & Overview of Vapor Intrusion Mitigation Training TeamConceptual Site Models for Vapor Intrusion MitigationCommunity Engagement During Vapor Intrusion MitigationRapid Response & Ventilation for Vapor Intrusion MitigationRemediation & Institutional Controls Session 2:Active Mitigation ApproachesPassive Mitigation ApproachesSystem Verification, OM&M, Curtailment and Shutdown When certain contaminants or hazardous substances are released into the soil or groundwater, they may volatilize into soil vapor. VI occurs when these vapors migrate up into overlying buildings and contaminate indoor air. The ITRC VI Toolkit combines the previous ITRC VI-related guidance documents (VI 2007, PVI 2014, VIM-1 2020), along with updates, into one comprehensive resource toolkit (including fact sheets, technology information sheets and checklists) published in January 2026. After the Vapor Intrusion Mitigation series, you should understand:How to locate and utilize the relevant document, fact sheets, technology information sheets, and checklistsThe importance of a VI mitigation conceptual site modelHow community engagement for VI mitigation differs from other environmental mattersWhen to implement rapid response for VI and applicable methodologies The differences between remediation, mitigation, and institutional controlsAvailable technologies for active and passive mitigation, and design considerations for various approachesHow/when/why different mitigation technologies are appropriateHow to verify mitigation system success, address underperformance, and develop a plan for curtailment of a mitigation system and shutdown We encourage you to use the ITRC VI Toolkit and these training modules to learn about VI mitigation and how you can apply these best practices to improve decision-making at your sites. For regulators and other government agency staff, this understanding of VI mitigation can be incorporated into your own programs. While the training makes every effort to keep the information accessible to a wide audience, it is assumed that the participants will have some basic technical understanding of chemistry, environmental sciences, and risk assessment. As with other emerging contaminants, our understanding of VI mitigation continues to advance. This training provides the participants with information on areas where the science is evolving and where uncertainty persists.

Tell us what you think of the show! The energy landscape has entered a volatile era of climate disruption. Regions once considered safe now face the devastating reality of escalating wildfires and extreme weather. In this episode, we sit down with Don McPhail, VP of Market Development at eSmart Systems, to discuss why traditional, asset-focused mitigation is no longer enough for utilities across the United States.We explore the critical shift to community-first resilience models, where protecting life-sustaining infrastructure takes priority over mere compliance. How exactly are digitization and AI-powered digital twins transforming grid safety? What does it mean to use high-resolution imagery to identify minute defects like upside-down cotter pins in a way that creates quantifiable value? Don provides a roadmap for utility leaders ready to trade siloed data practices for predictive insights that save time, money, and lives.Want to make a suggestion for This Week in Cleantech?

(Lander, WY) – The KOVE 1330 AM / 107.7 FM Today in the 10 interview series Coffee Time continued today with host Vince Tropea, who recently spoke with Darren Clifford. Clifford runs the Caught the Fire Bug website, which aims to provide wildfire news across the country, largely with employees who have been firefighters themselves, like Clifford. The CTFB mission is to “tell wildfire stories, spread awareness, and educate the public about the wildfires that threaten our landscapes.” Clifford, who now lives in Riverton, shares his story of moving from structure firefighting to wildland firefighting, and then to wildfire news reporting, for which CTFB was a major contributor during the Wyoming wildfires Fremont County experienced in the summer of 2025. Additionally, Clifford discusses the other fire mitigation services CTFB provides, what folks should be on the lookout for during the upcoming fire season following a mostly moisture-less Winter, a mini-lesson on what fire containment means, and more. Check out the full Coffee Time interview with Clifford below! Be sure to tune in to Today in the 10 and Coffee Time interviews every morning from 7:00 to 9:00 AM on KOVE 1330 AM / 107.7 FM, or stream it live right here.

ITRC's Vapor Intrusion Mitigation training is a series of eight (8) modules, presented over two sessions. If you took the ITRC VIM series previously, the content has stayed the same, but the new course directs people to the Vapor Intrusion (VI) Toolkit resources published in January 2026 by ITRC. The Vapor Intrusion Mitigation training series provides an overview of VIM and presents information from the 2026 Vapor Intrusion (VI) ToolkitITRC VI Toolkit (which includes fact sheets, technology information sheets, and checklists). Session 1:Introduction & Overview of Vapor Intrusion Mitigation Training TeamConceptual Site Models for Vapor Intrusion MitigationCommunity Engagement During Vapor Intrusion MitigationRapid Response & Ventilation for Vapor Intrusion MitigationRemediation & Institutional Controls Session 2:Active Mitigation ApproachesPassive Mitigation ApproachesSystem Verification, OM&M, Curtailment and Shutdown When certain contaminants or hazardous substances are released into the soil or groundwater, they may volatilize into soil vapor. VI occurs when these vapors migrate up into overlying buildings and contaminate indoor air. The ITRC VI Toolkit combines the previous ITRC VI-related guidance documents (VI 2007, PVI 2014, VIM-1 2020), along with updates, into one comprehensive resource toolkit (including fact sheets, technology information sheets and checklists) published in January 2026. After the Vapor Intrusion Mitigation series, you should understand:How to locate and utilize the relevant document, fact sheets, technology information sheets, and checklistsThe importance of a VI mitigation conceptual site modelHow community engagement for VI mitigation differs from other environmental mattersWhen to implement rapid response for VI and applicable methodologies The differences between remediation, mitigation, and institutional controlsAvailable technologies for active and passive mitigation, and design considerations for various approachesHow/when/why different mitigation technologies are appropriateHow to verify mitigation system success, address underperformance, and develop a plan for curtailment of a mitigation system and shutdown We encourage you to use the ITRC VI Toolkit and these training modules to learn about VI mitigation and how you can apply these best practices to improve decision-making at your sites. For regulators and other government agency staff, this understanding of VI mitigation can be incorporated into your own programs. While the training makes every effort to keep the information accessible to a wide audience, it is assumed that the participants will have some basic technical understanding of chemistry, environmental sciences, and risk assessment. As with other emerging contaminants, our understanding of VI mitigation continues to advance. This training provides the participants with information on areas where the science is evolving and where uncertainty persists.

In this episode of Revolutionize Your Retirement, host Dori Mintzer talks with gerontologist, author, and longtime positive aging pioneer Rick (Harry R.) Moody about his latest book, Climate Change in an Aging Society. Rick describes how he came to link two topics many people avoid, aging and climate, and why he believes older adults have a unique role to play in responding to the “four horsemen of the climate apocalypse”: fire, flood, drought, and heat.Rick and Dori discuss how climate realities are already affecting decisions about where and how to live, home insurance, health, and the ability to “age in place.” Drawing on stories from New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, wildfire survivors in Paradise, California, and his own move from Boulder to the Bay Area, Rick underscores that relocation is not a full solution, as almost every region now faces some climate risk. Instead, he argues that the key is to move from paralysis and denial toward action—mitigation and adaptation—rooted in a sense of legacy and intergenerational responsibility.The conversation highlights Rick's core message: “Here, now, you, hope.” He explains why hope is not naïve optimism but “a verb with its sleeves rolled up,” and outlines three powerful roles for individuals at any age: citizen (voting, marching, contacting elected officials), consumer (choices about energy use, travel, food, and purchases), and investor (shifting money away from fossil fuels and toward more sustainable options). About the Guest – Rick (Harry R.) Moody, PhDRick (Harry R.) Moody, PhD, is a pioneering gerontologist, educator, and author whose work has helped shape the modern conversations on positive aging, ethics, and the spiritual dimensions of later life. He is the former Vice President for Academic Affairs at AARP, visiting faculty in the Creative Longevity and Wisdom program at Fielding Graduate University, and visiting professor at Tohoku University in Japan.Rick previously served as Executive Director of the Brookdale Center on Aging at Hunter College and as Chair of the Board of Elderhostel (now Road Scholar). He has written or co-written numerous influential books and articles, including the widely used gerontology textbook Aging: Concepts and Controversies (now in its 10th edition), Ethics in an Aging Society (the first book on biomedical ethics and aging), and The Five Stages of the Soul, which has been translated into seven languages.Key Topics We CoverWhy climate change and aging belong in the same conversation, and why the title “Climate Change in an Aging Society” matters.The difference between fear, despair, and what Rick calls real hope (not optimism), including reflections from Václav Havel and David Orr.Mitigation vs. adaptation and what each means for older adults deciding whether and where to move, downsize, or age in place.How dreams can mirror climate anxiety and also point toward personal action and awakening in the second half of life.Connect with Rick MoodyMind-Body Website: https://cmbm.org/governance/Books: Five Stages of the SoulAging What to do next: Click to grab our free guide, 10 Key Issues to Consider as You Explore Your Retirement Transition Please leave a review at Apple Podcasts.

Is the browser quietly becoming the most powerful and dangerous interface in modern work? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sat down with Karim Toubba, CEO of LastPass, to unpack a shift that many people feel every day but rarely stop to question. The browser is no longer just a window to the internet. It has become the place where work happens, where SaaS lives, and increasingly, where humans and AI agents meet data, credentials, and decisions. From AI-native browsers to prompt-based navigation and headless agents acting on our behalf, the way we access information is changing fast, and so are the risks. Karim shares why this moment feels different from earlier waves like SaaS adoption or remote work. Today, more than ever, productivity, identity, and security collide inside the browser. Shadow AI is spreading faster than most organizations can track, personal accounts are being used to access powerful AI tools, and sensitive data is being uploaded with little visibility or control. At the same time, attackers have noticed that the browser has become the soft underbelly of the enterprise, with a growing share of malware and breaches originating there. We also explore the rise of agentic AI and what happens when software, not people, starts logging into systems. When an agent books travel, pulls data, or completes workflows on a user's behalf, traditional authentication and access models start to break down. Karim explains why identity, visibility, and control must evolve together, and why secure browser extensions are emerging as a practical foundation for this next phase of computing. The conversation goes deep into what users do not see when AI browsers ask for access to email, calendars, and internal apps, and why convenience often masks long-term exposure. Throughout the discussion, Karim brings a grounded perspective shaped by decades in cybersecurity, from risk-based vulnerability management to enterprise threat intelligence. Rather than pushing fear, he focuses on realistic steps organizations and individuals can take, from understanding what data is being shared, to treating security teams as partners, to using tools that bring passwords, passkeys, and authentication into one trusted place as browsing evolves. As AI reshapes how we search, work, and make decisions, the question is no longer whether the browser matters. It is whether we are ready for it to act as the front door to both our productivity and our risk, so are you securing your browser for the future you are already using today?

Today, Hunter was joined by Max Miner the Founder of Executive Treatment Solutions. At one point in his life, Max hit rock bottom. Suffering with drug addiction, he reached the point where it thought it would be a good idea to get into a shootout with police officers. In a moment of clarity, he put down the weapon and started his road to recovery. Thanks to the work of an attorney who understood the power of pre-trial mitigation work, Max was able to get sober and avoid jail time. Now, Max works with people, who like him, need non-carceral treatment plans to help them escape the criminal legal system.

In this episode, we discuss public distrust of politicians and the realities behind presidential approval polling before turning to the math of lotteries and why people continue to play despite the odds. We examine Maryland's proposed reparations commission, including questions of eligibility, funding, legal responsibility, and the practical challenges of tying modern policy to historical injustice. We're joined by Phil Magness to explore the economic history of slavery, the claim that capitalism was built on slave labor, and why slavery is fundamentally incompatible with free markets. We cover Adam Smith's opposition to slavery, misconceptions about profit incentives, the global history of forced labor, and the moral and economic failures surrounding emancipation, closing with a broader discussion of capitalism, socialism, and historical accountability. 00:00 Introduction and Overview 00:44 Presidential Approval Ratings and Polling Reality 02:38 Why Americans Have Always Hated Politicians 03:35 Powerball, Probability, and the Math of Dreaming 06:51 Maryland's Reparations Commission Explained 08:12 Who Pays and Who Gets Reparations? 10:03 Mitigation, Law, and the Reparations Problem 14:24 Introducing Phil Magness 15:02 Was Capitalism Built on Slavery? 17:59 Slavery as an Ancient Institution 19:50 Adam Smith's Case Against Slavery 23:05 Why Slavery Is Anti-Capitalist 24:50 Pro-Slavery Economics and Feudalism 26:16 Founding Fathers, Hypocrisy, and Moral Failure 30:21 Slavery's Global History and Misconceptions 32:06 Incentives, Profit, and Economic Naivety 34:53 Would Slavery Have Ended Without the Civil War? 37:59 Gradual Emancipation and Historical Alternatives 40:47 Socialism, Capitalism, and the Plantation Model 44:01 Final Reflections and Closing Thoughts Learn more about your ad choices.
