Send us a textIt's been a while since we last talked about cross-border data transfers, but that does not mean that all issues have resolved themselves. And while the focus may still largely be on the EU-US relations for data transfers, the core developments actually relate to the Global Cross-Border Privacy Rules. Therefore, on this week of Serious Privacy, Paul Breitbarth, Ralph O'Brien of Reinbo Consulting, and Dr. K Royal connect with Noël Luke, chief assurance officer at TrustArc. She joined TrustArc in 2015 and is responsible for overseeing and enhancing TrustArc's robust assurance programs, which include certifications under the Global and APEC cross-border privacy rules, as well as verifications under the respective Data Privacy Frameworks between the US and the EU, UK and Switzerland.

Jennifer Alvarado, is redefining what it means to be a country artist in today's music scene. With a sound that fuses the heartfelt storytelling of 90s country with the raw, unfiltered honesty of alternative rock, her music has been described as “Deana Carter meets Alanis Morissette.” But Jennifer isn't just another artist blending genres—she's a truth-teller, a fighter, and a voice for those who have ever felt out of place. Her songs are unflinchingly personal, yet universally relatable, tackling love, loss, trauma, and redemption with a fearless honesty that sets her apart.Born and raised in Hickory, North Carolina, Alvarado's love for music was sparked at the age of four when her grandfather first placed a guitar in her hands. Growing up, she found her voice singing in church and school performances, but a devastating loss and relentless bullying in middle school silenced her for years. While others saw her talent, she struggled with crippling performance anxiety, choosing instead to write in secret. It wasn't until her mid-teens, when she picked up the guitar again and began leading worship, that she slowly reclaimed her confidence.Alvarado's path to music wasn't a straight shot. Despite earning a music scholarship, she ultimately pursued a degree in Political Science and Family Ministries, preparing for a future in law and ministry. She worked as an Intellectual Property Paralegal, led worship at two churches, and taught guitar and ukulele on the side. But music never stopped calling. In 2020, facing a crossroads, she decided to take a chance — submitting her music to Indie Star Radio. The response was immediate and overwhelming, leading to her being named Country Artist of the Year in 2021. From that moment, there was no turning back.Since then, Jennifer has become one of the most relentless independent artists in country music, performing over 200 shows a year across the country. She's played legendary venues like The Viper Room, intimate clubs on the California coast, and countless stages across NC, TN, GA, VA, SC, CT, KY, and TX. Her goal? To play all 50 states and bring her music to international audiences. While she's been told she's “not redneck enough” for country music and “too old” to chase a dream, she refuses to let the industry define her. Instead, she writes and sings on her own terms, creating music that resonates with those searching for something deeper than another whiskey-soaked party anthem.Beyond the music, Jennifer is deeply passionate about using her platform to make a difference. She is actively involved in Celebrate Recovery, prison ministry, and organizations supporting women overcoming addiction and homelessness. She volunteers at the Asbury Resource Center, Safe Harbor, and Meals on Wheels and is helping launch Breaking the Darkness, a Christian music festival designed to reach those who may not feel welcomed in traditional church spaces.Jennifer Alvarado is more than a musician — she is a storyteller, an advocate, and proof that resilience and faith can carve out a space where none seemed to exist. She isn't chasing fame or fortune. She's chasing meaning, moments, and the chance to remind others that their voice, their dreams, and their stories matter.#jenniferalvarado #countrymusic #singer #songwriter #recordingartist #chrispomay #livewithcdptalkshow #barrycullenchevrolet https://beacons.ai/chrisdpomayhttps://www.jenniferalvarado.com/Want to create live streams like this?

Der Datentransfer zwischen der EU und den USA steht erneut auf wackeligen Beinen. Nachdem der Europäische Gerichtshof (EuGH) bereits die Vorgängerabkommen "Safe Harbor" und "Privacy Shield" gekippt hatte, droht nun auch dem aktuellen "Transatlantic Data Privacy Framework" (TADPF) ein jähes Ende. Im c't-Datenschutz-Podcast erläutern Holger und Joerg Heidrich zusammen mit Dr. Stefan Brink die komplexe Gemengelage. Brink war bis Ende 2022 Landesdatenschutzbeauftragter in Baden-Württemberg, leitet nun das Wissenschaftliche Institut für die Digitalisierung der Arbeitswelt (wida) und kennt die Problematik aus nächster Nähe. Das TADPF sollte den Datentransfer eigentlich endlich auf eine solide Basis stellen. US-Präsident Biden erließ dazu 2022 die Executive Order 14086, die den Zugriff von US-Geheimdiensten auf EU-Bürgerdaten einschränken und Beschwerdemöglichkeiten schaffen sollte. Doch die Umsetzung ist fragil. Brink erläutert, dass die Executive Order jederzeit von US-Präsident Donald Trump wieder einkassiert werden könnte. Zudem ist das vorgesehene Kontrollgremium PCLOB faktisch lahmgelegt, da ihm die Mitglieder fehlen. Die EU-Kommission versucht nach Beobachtung von Holger, die Probleme auszusitzen, doch im EU-Parlament wachse der Druck, den Angemessenheitsbeschluss aufzuheben. Auch sogenannte Standardvertragsklauseln als Alternative stehen auf tönernen Füßen, da der EuGH hohe Anforderungen an "Transfer Impact Assessments" stellt. US-Gesetze wie der CLOUD Act ermöglichen weiterhin den Zugriff auf Daten bei US-Anbietern. Für EU-Unternehmen ist es kaum leistbar, sich komplett von US-Diensten zu lösen, da eine digitale Souveränität Europas fehlt. Die Aufsichtsbehörden in Deutschland und Europa sitzen nach Brinks Schilderung zwischen den Stühlen: Sie wissen um die rechtlichen Mängel, schrecken aber vor harten Maßnahmen zurück – auch aus Furcht vor wirtschaftlichem Chaos. Stattdessen setzen sie auf Dialog und hoffen, dass Unternehmen zumindest Alternativen prüfen. Die Diskutanten sehen die Gefahr, dass der Datentransfer zum Spielball im Handelskonflikt zwischen den USA und der EU werden könnte. Am Ende bleibt die Erkenntnis: Der transatlantische Datenverkehr ist in schwere See geraten, und Unternehmen täten gut daran, sich nach Alternativen umzusehen.

Adam Zurn, Executive Director of Uncharted Lancaster offers kayak tours to see the petroglyphs at Safe Habor. The petroglyphs are so significant because they are probably one of the oldest artifacts in all the Susquehanna Valley. There used to be thousands of petroglyph sites in the Lower Susquehanna, but with the buildings of dams they have been submerged. “There's a series of about six rocks with like significant carvings on them. The two big standouts are little Indian rock and big Indian rock. This cluster of rocks represents one of the two largest concentrations of petroglyphs in the northeast United States, which is cool.” Little Indian Rock is said to have the best panel rock art east of Mississippi. Zurn says this rock is really unique as it is full with all sorts of carvings. “There are three serpent carvings on the rock, and so there is a single carving a serpent and it lines up with the solstice sunrise. And so, you can go out there on the first day of summer and the first day of winter and the sun will come up right where its tail is, it is pointing. And then at a slightly different angle are two squiggly lines, again, representing serpents and those two squiggly lines, the on the equinox or the first day of spring and the first day of fall, the sun rises directly between those two.” The rock tells a story about their natural environment. “They know where the sun is going to be on, you know, very specific days. And they're and they're marking these things on the rock. And so, for me, that's just one of the things that make little Indian rock so special. You can go out there and you can see, you know, that these carvings are somewhere between 800 and 1200 years old.”Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A memorandum of law in support of a motion to dismiss a complaint is a legal document prepared by an attorney that outlines the legal arguments and authorities supporting the dismissal of a lawsuit.When a defendant files a motion to dismiss a complaint, they are essentially asking the court to throw out the case against them. The memorandum of law serves to explain to the court why the complaint should be dismissed based on legal principles, statutes, regulations, and relevant case law.Typically, a memorandum of law in support of a motion to dismiss will:Outline the Legal Standard: It will begin by stating the legal standard for dismissing a complaint in the jurisdiction where the case is being heard. This often involves citing relevant rules of civil procedure or case law.Present Legal Arguments: The memorandum will then present the specific legal arguments as to why the complaint fails to state a valid claim for relief. This might include arguments that the complaint lacks legal merit, fails to establish jurisdiction, or is barred by a statute of limitations.Cite Case Law and Precedent: The attorney will cite relevant case law and legal precedent to support their arguments. They may show how similar cases were dismissed by courts in the past under similar circumstances.Address Counterarguments: If there are potential counterarguments that the opposing party might raise, the memorandum may also address these and explain why they do not undermine the motion to dismiss.Conclusion: Finally, the memorandum will conclude by summarizing the key points and reiterating why the court should grant the motion to dismiss.A reply to a motion to dismiss a complaint is a legal document filed by the plaintiff (the party who filed the complaint) in response to the defendant's motion to dismiss. In this document, the plaintiff addresses the arguments made by the defendant in their motion to dismiss and presents counterarguments or additional evidence to support the validity of their complaint. The reply typically highlights legal authorities, precedents, and factual assertions to persuade the court to deny the defendant's motion to dismiss and allow the case to proceed. It's crucial for the plaintiff's reply to be well-researched, articulate, and legally sound to effectively counter the defendant's arguments.In this episode we hear from Tyrone Blackburn who is responding to the UMG corporate defendants motion to dismiss the claim filed against them and Diddy.(commerical at 7:02)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

With the nomination of the pro-crypto Paul Atkins to be the next SEC chair, the crypto industry is potentially facing a 180 from the agency. As co-chair of The Digital Chamber's Token Alliance initiative and a board member of Securitize, Atkins is not only pro-crypto, but also against the type of “regulation by enforcement” strategy of current Chair Gary Gensler. In this episode, Cody Carbone, president at The Digital Chamber, explains why Atkins is likely to start reassessment of the agency's lawsuits against crypto firms, why Trump might break with protocol to fill one of the commissioner seats that would typically be filled by a Democrat, and who he thinks might make for a good “crypto czar.” Show highlights: Why Cody that Atkins leading the SEC would be a massive transformational shift What can be expected from Atkins given his prior experience What crypto cases might be dropped under his leadership Whether Atkins could provide rulemaking before Congress passes legislation Cody's hard criticism of Gary Gensler's modus operandi Why Cody thinks Trump could surprise people when it comes to replacing Democratic Cmr. Jaime Lizárraga How long it could take for Congress to confirm Atkins Why Cody believes that Atkins will support Hester Peirce's Safe Harbor proposal Whether the CFTC will be the primary regulator of the crypto industry in a Trump administration Whether the U.S. will have a crypto czar and who it could be What crypto legislation Cody thinks is likely to be passed in 2025 Visit our website for breaking news, analysis, op-eds, articles to learn about crypto, and much more: unchainedcrypto.com Thank you to our sponsors!
