New freely available international guidance is being launched today at COP29 by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) to better enable organizations to navigate the complex Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) landscape, comply with disclosure requirements, and accurately measure, report, and communicate their activities. With ESG regulations reportedly having risen 155% globally in the last decade, including the EU's Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), the UK's Modern Slavery Act, and the ISSB's IFRS S1 and S2 disclosure requirements, the ISO ESG Implementation Principles aim to enhance understanding, providing actionable guidance to enable more consistent reporting applicable to organizations of all sizes and sectors, from small businesses to multinational corporations including ESG consultants, academia, research institutions, and NGOs. The principles are designed to support effective and transparent sustainability practices through a standardized structure that provides organizations with all the information needed to achieve their ESG ambitions, regardless of where they are on their journey. The document facilitates the integration of ESG principles into organizational culture, enabling a more effective system for performance and reporting. By addressing environmental impacts such as carbon footprinting and waste management, social considerations like diversity and human rights, and governance practices, organizations can apply a truly holistic approach. This encourages a balanced, sustainable growth strategy, helping to accelerate progress toward a more sustainable world. Developed through a collaborative cohort of national standards bodies including the British Standards Institution (BSI), the Standards Council of Canada (SCC), and the Brazilian Association of Technical Standards (ABNT), these principles incorporate input from over 1,900 industry experts across 128 countries. They provide a high-level structure to help organizations integrate existing ESG requirements, establish measurable Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), and assess their maturity in ESG practices. The publication comes in the wake of enhanced scrutiny around ESG performance, and concern being voiced that ESG disclosures globally have suffered from being inconsistent and vary widely across jurisdictions, company sizes, and sectors. As a result, the landscape of disclosures can make it difficult for organizations to navigate diverse frameworks, resulting in reporting inconsistencies and hindering comparability across sectors. The ISO ESG Implementation Principles are designed to: Support management of ESG performance Bolster measurement and reporting under existing disclosure frameworks to enable consistency, comparability, and reliability of ESG reporting and practices globally Facilitate interoperability by aligning with existing reporting standards, creating a harmonized approach to ESG compliance across borders. Promote global consistency, enabling clear communication of sustainability efforts worldwide. Sergio Mujica, Secretary-General, of ISO, said, "ISO's ESG implementation principles will foster a lasting culture of ESG that will bring real value to organizations, governments, investors, and consumers. These guidelines will help accelerate the adoption of sustainable business practices, which benefits diverse communities and the environment." "Importantly, these guidelines can be used by all organizations in all sectors and could particularly benefit SMEs and organizations in developing countries. We are proud of this initiative, and to be launching it today during COP29." "This is an important opportunity not to be missed by organizations worldwide - to engage key stakeholders, and particularly those responsible for existing and evolving voluntary and regulatory frameworks for ESG reporting and disclosure." Susan Taylor Martin, Chief Executive, of BSI, said, "As world leaders gather at COP29, there...

In a recent interview on F+L Webcast, Michael Holloway, president of Fifth Order Industry, highlighted the importance of global collaboration in developing and applying industry standards on fuels and lubricants. Holloway is recognised as a subject-matter expert in failure analysis, reliability engineering, and designed experiments, holding 16 professional certifications and a patent. He has a Master's degree in Polymer Engineering and a Bachelor's degree in both Chemistry and Philosophy. Over his 40-year career, he has held roles in research and product development with companies such as Olin Chemical, WR Grace, Rohm & Haas, and GE Plastics. Additionally, he has specialised in reliability engineering and failure analysis for companies like NCH, ALS, and SGS. Fifth Order Industry, based in Houston, Texas, U.S.A., provides training and consultancy. Holloway discussed how international standards, such as those established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), create a shared foundation for industries worldwide. “Standards allow industries to speak a common language,” he explained. “They are essential not only for compliance but for creating opportunities for innovation and collaborative problem-solving.” Holloway believes that this unified approach enhances safety, quality, and environmental practices, benefiting industries and consumers alike. Holloway further underscored the need for flexibility in implementing these standards. He noted that while standards offer a foundational framework, they must be adapted to meet regional and operational specifics, ensuring that they are effectively applied rather than serving as mere compliance checklists. This adaptable approach, he argued, is crucial to fostering genuine operational improvements and advancing innovation. With industries becoming increasingly interconnected, Holloway sees global standards as the key to meeting today's challenges and paving the way for future sustainable practices. As companies adopt and refine these collaborative standards, Holloway envisions a future where international partnerships drive the next wave of industrial growth and innovation.

In February 2024, the ISO and IAF issued an unprecedented change to 31 commonly adopted ISO Standards, such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 27001.  This change saw the addition of a new ‘Climate Change Amendment', which was applied in part due to the ISO's resolution in support of the ISO London Declaration on Climate Change. So what does this mean for ISO certified businesses?  Join Mel as she discusses what this new ISO Climate Change Amendment is, why it was introduced, what are the consequences if you don't address it and the benefits of its introduction. You'll learn ·      What is the ISO Climate Change Amendment? ·      Why was it introduced? ·      What are the consequences if you do not address the change? ·      What are the benefits of the Climate Change Amendment?   Resources ·      Isologyhub ·      ISO Climate Change Amendment Workshop   In this episode, we talk about: [00:30] Join the isologyhub – To get access to a suite of ISO related tools, training and templates. Simply head on over to isologyhub.com to either sign-up or book a demo. [02:30] Episode summary: We break down the new ISO Climate Change Amendment, including why it was introduced and why you should address it ahead of your next Certification Body visit. [02:55] Join our Workshop– If you're not sure where to start with addressing this amendment, join our interactive workshop taking place on the 20th May (14:00 – 16:00 GMT). There we will explain how you can integrate the new changes into your existing ISO Management System. Register your place here.   [04:30] What is the new ISO Climate Change Amendment? – A key clarification before we go into more detail, this is not a new version of a Standard i.e. ISO 27001:2022, where you must transition to a new version. So, what is it? In February 2024, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) introduced a groundbreaking amendment to integrate climate change considerations into various management system standards. The amendment doesn't assign specific actions. Instead, it adds text to existing clauses in 31 standards (including ISO 9001, 14001, 27001) requiring organizations to consider: ·      Relevance of climate change: Organizations must assess if climate change is a relevant issue for their operations and context (Clause 4.1). ·      Stakeholder expectations: Note added: Relevant Interested Parties can have requirements related to climate change (Clause 4.2). As we've learned from our sister company, Carbonology, it is often Stakeholders driving forward that need to verify a business's carbon footprint and take steps towards Net Zero. [09:30] Why was this change Introduced? – This change was in part due to ISO's resolution in support of the ISO London Declaration on Climate Change. The aim is making climate change considerations an integral part of management systems, their guiding policies and practises – not simply as an afterthought. As we all know, climate change will affect everyone, and should be a concern that every business fully considers to ensure they are resilient and adaptable enough to deal with climate related risks. This amendment means businesss will need to address these risks where relevant, and integrate them into strategic objectives and look what can be done from a risk mitigation perspective. The global business community will be one of the driving forces for paving a way to a more sustainable future – It all starts with changing the way we work, making the shift towards embedding environmental consciousness into the very heart of your business. ISO Standards are widely adopted, and this change offers a catalyst for meaningful climate action on a global scale.

Simply head on over to the isologyhub to sign-up or book a demo. [13:20] What are the consequences for not addressing this change? - Certification bodies will be asking you about these amendments effective immediately. If you've not addressed them ahead of your next certification body visit, you could run the risk of getting a non-conformity. The amendment added to Clause 4.1 especially states ‘Must' – so there's no getting away with simply ignoring it. [14:50] What are the benefits of this change? – Some of the benefits will likely already be felt by those with existing environmental standards such as ISO 14001 and ISO 50001 in place. So, let's take a look at how you can benefit from addressing this amendment:  ·      Reduced Environmental Footprint: By integrating climate change considerations, businesses can identify and implement practices that lower their carbon emissions and resource consumption. ·      Enhanced Sustainability: Addressing climate change demonstrates a commitment to sustainability, which is increasingly important for attracting environmentally conscious customers and investors. ·      Cost Savings: Climate-conscious practices can lead to cost savings through improved resource efficiency, reduced waste, and potentially lower energy bills. ·      Resilience and Risk Management: By considering climate-related risks (e.g., extreme weather events, resource scarcity), businesses can proactively develop strategies to mitigate these risks and ensure operational continuity. ·      Innovation: Focusing on climate change can lead to innovation in areas like cleaner technologies or sustainable product development, giving businesses a competitive edge. ·      Positive Brand Image: Demonstrating proactive action on climate change can enhance a company's brand image and reputation among environmentally conscious stakeholders. This is a particularly important issue to younger generations who are becoming the dominant buying power from a commercial perspective. ·      Stronger Stakeholder Relationships: By considering stakeholder expectations around climate change, businesses can build stronger relationships with customers, investors, and regulators. ·      Holistic Approach to sustainability: Integrating climate change considerations strengthens a businesses' overall management system by fostering a more comprehensive and future-proof approach. ·      Continual Improvement: The amendment emphasizes continual improvement, encouraging businesses to constantly seek ways to reduce their environmental impact, leading to long-term sustainability benefits.

The Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model is a fundamental framework for understanding networking systems, breaking down their functions into seven distinct layers. It is vital for ensuring interoperability and compatibility across different technologies. By familiarizing themselves with the OSI model, IT and networking professionals can enhance their ability to communicate complex network problems and solutions more effectively, thereby streamlining collaboration and innovation in the field. This model serves as the cornerstone of network theory, enabling professionals to adapt to new technologies and protocols while maintaining a solid foundation in networking principles. OSI Model Layers Created by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) towards the end of the 1970s, the OSI model simplifies the intricate task of communication between computers by segmenting it into seven unique layers. Each layer is assigned a particular role and interacts with the layers immediately adjacent to it. The layers, arranged from the lowest to the highest, include Physical, Data Link, Network, Transport, Session, Presentation, and Application.

There's no escaping it, AI is here to stay. Over the course of 2023 we've seen more general and public use of popular AI tools such as ChatGPT and Gemini (previously Google Bard). It's now even being integrated into everyday applications such as Microsoft Word and Teams. There is no doubt that there are a lot of benefits to using AI, however, with new technology comes new risks. So how do we address the growing concerns around AI development and use? That's where the new Standard for AI Management Systems, ISO 42001 comes in! Join Mel this week as she explains exactly what ISO 42001 is, who it's applicable to, why it was created and how ISO 42001 can help businesses manage AI risks. You'll learn ·       What ISO 42001 AI Management Systems is ·       Who it's applicable to ·       Why it was created ·       How ISO 42001 can help businesses manage AI risks   Resources ·       Isologyhub ·       ISO 42001 Webinar registration   In this episode, we talk about: [00:30] Join the isologyhub – To get access to a suite of ISO related tools, training and templates. Simply head on over to isologyhub.com to either sign-up or book a demo. [02:05] Episode summary: Today we're touching on a very topical subject – AI, and more specifically the brand new AI Management System Standard – IS0 42001. We'll also be exploring who it's applicable to, why it was created and how it can help businesses manage AI risks. [03:30] What is AI? – AI – otherwise known as Artificial intelligence, as it's most simplest description is the science of making machines think like humans. We've seen a lot of AI tools be released to the public over the last year or so, tools such as ChatGPT and Google Bard. It's already being integrated with some of the most commonly used apps and programs like Microsoft word and Teams. In short, AI integration is here to stay, so we may as well get to grips with it and make sure we're using it responsibly. [05:10] What is ISO 42001? – , ISO 42001 is the first International Standard for Artificial Intelligence Management Systems, designed to help organisations implement, maintain, and improve AI management practices. It was jointly published in December 2023 by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). The emphasis of ISO 42001 is on integrating an AI Management System with an organisations existing management system – i.e. ISO 9001 or ISO 27001 compliant management systems. Interestingly, a lot of the specific mentions of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are within the Annexes rather than the body of the Standard. The Standard itself is very similar to ISO 27001 in that it's mostly about what organisations should be doing to manage computer systems regardless of any AI components. [08:00] The 4 Annexes of ISO 42001: Annex A: This acts as a Management guide for AI system development, with a focus on trustworthiness. Annex B: This provides implementation guidance for AI controls, with specific measures for Artificial intelligence and Machine Learning – if you'd like to learn more about the difference between the two, go back and listen to episode 135. Annex C: Which addresses AI-related organisational objectives and risk sources. Annex D: This one is about the domains and sectors in which an AI system may be used. It also addresses certification, and we're pleased to see that it actively encourages the use of third-party conformity assessment. This just ensures that your AI claims have more validity. [09:15] Who is ISO 42001 applicable to? – Those annex descriptions may have you assuming that this Standard is only applicable to organisations developing AI technology but in actuality it's applicable to any organisation who is involved in developing, deploying OR Using AI systems. So if you're a company who is only utilising AI in your day to day activities, it's still very much applicable to you! [10:20] Join the isologyhub and get access to limitless ISO resources  – From as little as £99 a month, you can have unlimited access to hundreds of online training courses and achieve certification for completion of courses along the way, which will take you from learner to practitioner to leader in no time. Simply head on over to the isologyhub to sign-up or book a demo. [12:25] Why was ISO 42001 created?: ·       To address the unprecedented rapid growth of AI and all the risks that come with this new technology. ·       To ensure that AI development and use are trustworthy and above all, ethical. ·       The public are also reasonably wary of this new technology, so ISO 42001 aims to help build more public trust and confidence in the future use of AI . ·       ISO 42001 acts as guidance for organisations on exactly how to integrate AI Management controls with their existing systems. [14:05] AI risks you should be aware of – This isn't an exhaustive list, as the technology develops, more risks will become known. However, as of the start of 2024, you should be aware of: Inaccurate information – Many of the chat bots and public AI tools are trained on publicly available information, and as we all know, not everything on the internet is true. So the output from these chat bots will need to be checked and verified by a person before being used or published. AI bias – Studies have proven that AI results can still be bias. As all the data fed into it is all based on existing information, it still presents the issue of a lack of information from underrepresented groups, or existing bias based on existing data. Time sensitivity – Not all AI use live data sets. Google Bard does, however Chat GPT is only accurate up until 2021. So double check whichever tool you're using to make sure the information it produces is up-to-date. Plagiarism – Data gathered using AI came from somewhere! If you simply copy and paste information provided by AI platforms, there's a chance you may be plagiarising existing content. Be sure to just use AI as a starting point! Security risks – Use of AI can expose you to additional security risks, For example, malicious actors could send someone an email with a hidden prompt injection in it. If the receiver happened to use an AI virtual assistant, the attacker might be able to manipulate it into sending the attacker personal information from the victim's emails. Data Poisoning – AI uses large data sets to train its models, and we currently rely on these data sets being relatively accurate. However, researchers have found that it's possible to poison data sets – so in future, AI may not be very reliable if preventative measures aren't put in place by AI developers. [17:45] How can ISO 42001 help business manage these risks? – Above all, it provides a structured approach to identify, assess, and mitigate AI risks. ISO 42001 includes the guidance needed to put this in place from the start to ensure you don't fall prey to the risks mentioned, with a view to monitor and update to address new risks in future. It promotes transparency and accountability throughout the AI life cycle. It helps ensure fairness, non-discrimination, and respect for human rights in AI development and deployment. It will help minimise potential legal and ethical liabilities associated with AI. The UK's current GDPR and Data Protection Act can loosely cover aspects of AI, depending on how the terminology is applied, but there are already dedicated AI based regulations being developed within the EU which will likely be adopted by the UK.  It can foster innovation and accelerate adoption of responsible AI practices. And lastly, it provides a common language and framework for collaboration on AI projects.

Article: Federal Information Processing Standards. The Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) of the United States are a set of publicly announced standards that the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has developed for use in computer systems of non-military, American government agencies and contractors. FIPS standards establish requirements for ensuring computer security and interoperability, and are intended for cases in which suitable industry standards do not already exist. Many FIPS specifications are modified versions of standards the technical communities use, such as the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). Supporting Article: FIPS General Information. FIPS are standards and guidelines for federal computer systems that are developed by National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in accordance with the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) and approved by the Secretary of Commerce. These standards and guidelines are developed when there are no acceptable industry standards or solutions for a particular government requirement. Although FIPS are developed for use by the federal government, many in the private sector voluntarily use these standards. Article: G502 HERO High Performance Gaming Mouse.

The weighty, metal wheel delivers confident, smooth and satisfying control for either mode. General KeePassXC Information.   Why KeePassXC instead of KeePassX? KeePassX is an amazing password manager, but hasn't seen much active development for quite a while. Many good pull requests were never merged and the original project is missing some features which users can expect from a modern password manager. Hence, we decided to fork KeePassX to continue its development and provide you with everything you love about KeePassX plus many new features and bugfixes. Why KeePassXC instead of KeePass? KeePass is a very proven and feature-rich password manager and there is nothing fundamentally wrong with it. However, it is written in C# and therefore requires Microsoft's .NET platform. On systems other than Windows, you can run KeePass using the Mono runtime libraries, but you won't get the native look and feel which you are used to. KeePassXC, on the other hand, is developed in C++ and runs natively on all platforms giving you the best-possible platform integration. Why is there no cloud synchronization feature built into KeePassXC? Cloud synchronization with Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, ownCloud, Nextcloud etc. can be easily accomplished by simply storing your KeePassXC database inside your shared cloud folder and letting your desktop synchronization client do the rest. We prefer this approach, because it is simple, not tied to a specific cloud provider and keeps the complexity of our code low. KeePassXC allows me to store my TOTP secrets. Doesn't this alleviate any advantage of two-factor authentication? Yes. But only if you store them in the same database as your password. We believe that storing both together can still be more secure than not using 2FA at all, but to maximize the security gain from using 2FA, you should always store TOTP secrets in a separate database, secured with a different password, possibly even on a different computer. How do I use the KeePassXC CLI tool with the AppImage? Starting with version 2.2.2, you can run the KeePassXC CLI tool from the AppImage by executing it with the cli argument: ./KeePassXC-*.AppImage cli Additional Information. What Is Infinite Scrolling?

Greg Gianforte enacted a bill last week that would bar financial institutions from requiring that retailers in the state apply a special code to track firearms purchases. Last year, a committee on the International Organization for Standardization (ISO)—a Switzerland-based organization that sets and monitors quality standards for a variety of industries—voted to establish a new merchant category code (MCC) for firearms. The firearms-specific MCC would allow financial institutions to track gun sales separately from the “general merchandise” category on other retail products. Gun rights advocates have pushed back against the firearms-specific MCCs, and lawmakers in several states have begun pursuing legislation to block the gun-purchase tracking agenda.

After it was reported this week that Iran had more than 18 times the amount of enriched uranium it was allowed to have under the Obama-era Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), the Biden administration claimed Iran would need less than two weeks in order to finalize enrichment to produce the material needed for a nuclear bomb. https://twitter.com/i/status/1 630679650249654273 - Play Video Calling Iran's nuclear progress "remarkable," Defense Under Secretary for Policy Colin Kahl told the House Armed Services Committee on Tuesday that "it would take about twelve days" for Iran "to produce one bomb's worth of fissile material." Recent evaluations by the International Atomic Energy Agency found that Iran has managed to enrich some of its uranium stockpiles to 84 percent, just shy of the 90 percent enrichment needed for fissile material in a nuclear bomb. Kahl, as with everyone else in the Biden administration, sought to place blame for Iran's nuclear progress on the Trump administration's decision to withdraw from the JCPOA — blame the mainstream media quickly repeated — but the 2015 nuclear deal was flawed and mostly served as a massive payday for the murderous regime. What's more, the Biden administration has wasted years trying to negotiate a new deal with Iran, while Biden's own State Department has admitted Iran played the United States by using lengthy and unserious negotiations to continue ramping up its nuclear efforts as it feigned good faith efforts. While President Biden and his administration were apparently content to continue pursuing diplomacy despite Iran using negotiations for its latest kabuki theater production, Israel is taking the threat more seriously and calling for international deterrents to Iran's nuclear ambitions. To that end, Israel's "Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer and National Security Council chief Tzachi Hanegbi are set to fly out early next week to Washington for talks on progress made in Iran's nuclear program," the Jerusalem Post reports. The situation is even more concerning given the deepening ties between Iran, Russia, China, and North Korea, and the fact that the United States' reaction to all this is being decided by Joe Biden — who has bungled multiple international incidents and hasn't shown himself able to present the United States as a powerful deterrent to bad actors on the world stage. https://www.breitbart.com/2nd-amendment/2023/03/02/discover-to-track-gun-purchases/ Discover Card to Begin Tracking Gun Purchases in April Beginning in April 2023, Discover will become the first credit card issuer to track gun purchases made by their cardholders. On September 11, 2022, Breitbart News noted that Visa caved to pressure from gun control groups and New York Democrats, agreeing to flag gun and ammo purchases via a new sales categorization. The Associated Press observed that Mastercard and other major credit cards also agreed to flag gun sales. On March 2, 2023, the Independent Journal Review (IJR) reported that Discover will be first among credit card companies to track gun sales, inasmuch as the company will begin doing so in April. IJR explained, “Anyone using a Discover card to make a purchase in a gun store will have that purchase tracked, beginning in April.” There are over 55 million Discover cards in usage, so a lot of information on gun purchases can be gathered via that one company. Reuters pointed out Discover Financial Services was ahead of Visa and Mastercard in February 2023, noting that Discover would “allow its network to track purchases at gun retailers come April, making it the first among its peers to publicly give a date for moving ahead with the initiative, which is aimed at helping authorities probe gun-related crimes.” Discover told Reuters, “We remain focused on continuing to protect and support lawful purchases on our network while protecting the privacy of cardholders.” The code for tracking gun purchases was approved by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in September 2022, and an ISO representative indicated, “The decision to use the new merchant category code is eventually left up to the users in the industry.” https://www.foxnews.com/us/nyc-spends-nearly-100-million-house-migrants-hotels-after-out-state-busing?intcmp=tw_fnc NYC spends nearly $100 million to house migrants in hotels after out-of-state busing New York City’s public hospital system will spend more than $90 million to house migrants at hotels in the Big Apple through the spring, local reports found.

Katz approved $40 million to go to the four-star hotel Row NYC near Times Square, another $28 million to the four-star Stewart Hotel near Madison Square Garden, $20 million to the three-star hotel the Watson in Hell’s Kitchen and another $5.8 million to the two-star Wolcott Hotel near the Empire State Building, the Post and online publication The City reported this month. All in, the cost for housing the migrants through the spring of this year sits at $93.8 million. At least 47,600 migrants have inundated the city since last year, including when Texas Gov. Greg Abbott began sending buses of migrants to the city in August amid the ongoing border crisis. There are a total of seven "Humanitarian Response and Relief Centers" in the city, including the four hotels, housing at the Wingate by Wyndham Hotel in Long Island City, one at the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal and another at the Holiday Inn in the Financial District. "Since the beginning of this humanitarian crisis, New York City has mounted a multi-agency response to ensure we are meeting our moral obligations and providing compassionate, comprehensive care to those arriving in our city," a spokesperson for Mayor Eric Adams told The City, "and NYC Health + Hospitals has been key in that response from the start." The housing plans have come with a series of issues, including Row NYC found to throw out nearly a ton of food each day, according to a hotel whistleblower who previously spoke to the Post. While late last month, a group of migrants who were staying at the Watson Hotel in Midtown Manhattan refused to leave the hotel – and even protested by sleeping in the streets – after city officials said they would be housed at the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal. Adams even slept at the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal on the coldest night of the year earlier this month in an effort to fend off criticism that the facilities were lackluster. The mayor has meanwhile pleaded with the White House for more assistance from the government as the migrant population grows "I have a Republican governor dumping on my city," Adams said last month. "I have a Democratic governor dumping on my city. That is where the national government should have stepped in and said, ‘Wait a minute, let's coordinate this effort.’" Democratic Colorado Gov. Jared Polis had also bused migrants to New York City and Chicago as the migrant crisis swelled in Denver and other areas, but announced a halt to the busing program last month after outcry from Adams and Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot.

The institution, Mid-Vermont Christian School forfeited their first-round state tournament game against Long Trail because the team didn’t believe it was fair to play against a transgender athlete. They explained that their decision not to compete was based on concerns for player safety and fairness. Vermont state law permits transgender females to play in girls’ sporting leagues and prohibits discrimination based on gender identity. “We believe playing against an opponent with a biological male jeopardizes the fairness of the game and the safety of our players,” a statement from MVCS head of school Vicky Fogg said. “Allowing biological males to participate in women’s sports sets a bad precedent for the future of women’s sports in general.” The state acknowledged the school’s decision and thus, their self-elimination from the postseason proceedings. Vermont’s policy regarding transgender athletes has led to other controversies recently. In October, a middle school soccer coach from Randolph Union High School was suspended after he allegedly ‘misgendered’ a trans student. This action came in the course of him defending his daughter, who said she was uncomfortable with the individual being in the girls’ locker room. Also that month, administrators at the school banned members of the girls’ volleyball team after they also objected to sharing it with a fellow student who is biologically male. That situation lit a fire of controversy surrounding the Randolph school, which lies in a community with a population of fewer than 5,000 people. There were several verbal taunts exchanged, some even leading to threats of violence.

Current NCAA rules state that transgender women are allowed to participate in women’s sports after undergoing one year of testosterone suppression. During an April 2021 survey in the United States, 17 percent of male respondents and 24 percent of female respondents strongly supported allowing transgender girls to compete against other female athletes at the high school level.

After it was reported this week that Iran had more than 18 times the amount of enriched uranium it was allowed to have under the Obama-era Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), the Biden administration claimed Iran would need less than two weeks in order to finalize enrichment to produce the material needed for a nuclear bomb. https://twitter.com/i/status/1 630679650249654273 - Play Video Calling Iran's nuclear progress "remarkable," Defense Under Secretary for Policy Colin Kahl told the House Armed Services Committee on Tuesday that "it would take about twelve days" for Iran "to produce one bomb's worth of fissile material." Recent evaluations by the International Atomic Energy Agency found that Iran has managed to enrich some of its uranium stockpiles to 84 percent, just shy of the 90 percent enrichment needed for fissile material in a nuclear bomb. Kahl, as with everyone else in the Biden administration, sought to place blame for Iran's nuclear progress on the Trump administration's decision to withdraw from the JCPOA — blame the mainstream media quickly repeated — but the 2015 nuclear deal was flawed and mostly served as a massive payday for the murderous regime. What's more, the Biden administration has wasted years trying to negotiate a new deal with Iran, while Biden's own State Department has admitted Iran played the United States by using lengthy and unserious negotiations to continue ramping up its nuclear efforts as it feigned good faith efforts. While President Biden and his administration were apparently content to continue pursuing diplomacy despite Iran using negotiations for its latest kabuki theater production, Israel is taking the threat more seriously and calling for international deterrents to Iran's nuclear ambitions. To that end, Israel's "Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer and National Security Council chief Tzachi Hanegbi are set to fly out early next week to Washington for talks on progress made in Iran's nuclear program," the Jerusalem Post reports. The situation is even more concerning given the deepening ties between Iran, Russia, China, and North Korea, and the fact that the United States' reaction to all this is being decided by Joe Biden — who has bungled multiple international incidents and hasn't shown himself able to present the United States as a powerful deterrent to bad actors on the world stage. https://www.breitbart.com/2nd-amendment/2023/03/02/discover-to-track-gun-purchases/ Discover Card to Begin Tracking Gun Purchases in April Beginning in April 2023, Discover will become the first credit card issuer to track gun purchases made by their cardholders. On September 11, 2022, Breitbart News noted that Visa caved to pressure from gun control groups and New York Democrats, agreeing to flag gun and ammo purchases via a new sales categorization. The Associated Press observed that Mastercard and other major credit cards also agreed to flag gun sales. On March 2, 2023, the Independent Journal Review (IJR) reported that Discover will be first among credit card companies to track gun sales, inasmuch as the company will begin doing so in April. IJR explained, “Anyone using a Discover card to make a purchase in a gun store will have that purchase tracked, beginning in April.” There are over 55 million Discover cards in usage, so a lot of information on gun purchases can be gathered via that one company. Reuters pointed out Discover Financial Services was ahead of Visa and Mastercard in February 2023, noting that Discover would “allow its network to track purchases at gun retailers come April, making it the first among its peers to publicly give a date for moving ahead with the initiative, which is aimed at helping authorities probe gun-related crimes.” Discover told Reuters, “We remain focused on continuing to protect and support lawful purchases on our network while protecting the privacy of cardholders.” The code for tracking gun purchases was approved by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in September 2022, and an ISO representative indicated, “The decision to use the new merchant category code is eventually left up to the users in the industry.” https://www.foxnews.com/us/nyc-spends-nearly-100-million-house-migrants-hotels-after-out-state-busing?intcmp=tw_fnc NYC spends nearly $100 million to house migrants in hotels after out-of-state busing New York City’s public hospital system will spend more than $90 million to house migrants at hotels in the Big Apple through the spring, local reports found.

Ian Spaulding, Chief Growth Officer at LRQA, examines climate action as part of a wider set of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) issues. Data-driven ESG has a crucial role to play as a framework for businesses to drive trust and transparency in their climate protocols and in facilitating their journey to the new standard of risk management. The need for trust and transparency in global supply chains The new standard of risk management There has been growing recognition that there are large global challenges for society, from climate change to the aftermath of Covid-19, which global governments cannot solve by themselves. The challenges are much bigger than one country, one government, or one company, and this is where the private sector is stepping in to help deliver a solution. Financial institutions and governments are regulating and legislating, but there is now a movement of companies taking responsibility for themselves and their supply chains in a more proactive way. Motives for addressing ESG issues may vary between organisations, from reputational to legal compliance, but a core component must be identified as consumer expectation. Whether we take global warming or gender disparity, there is greater expectation on how companies should manage themselves and their products, at a time where societal trust is in decline. It has now fallen to the private sector to set standards and targets to move the dial. Businesses need to address these issues and offer solutions to protect the public in the absence of consistency. As a result of engaging with ESG principles and data, they can build trust through being transparent with stakeholders. Building trust To establish trust, independent assurance is essential. Building credibility through independent assurance can help demonstrate an organisation's commitment to openly tracking progress against its goals and values. Standards set by bodies and charities such as CDP and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) have long been established as marks of trust and integrity. In the world of sustainability, verification and assurance, standards such as World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) and World Resources Institute (WRI)'s Greenhouse Gas Protocol, plus international standards such as ISO 14064, SASB, SMETA and TCFD, are widely recognised by investors and stakeholders and support the comparability and transparency of reported ESG data. International initiatives are also underway to tackle regional and corporate variations in ESG reporting requirements. For example, the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) was launched at COP 26 as an independent, private-sector body to develop and approve Sustainability Disclosure Standards. Transparency In order to leverage the value of data (ESG metrics), it is not just important to measure the right things; it is also necessary for the data (and insights) to be made easily available for all stakeholders. Without transparency it is difficult to report on risk exposure associated with all aspects of ESG, from waste management, to wage underpayment, to tax transparency. Supplier transparency is therefore vital for the effective mitigation of risk. Some say “numbers don't lie” but in reality, people use numbers to ‘prove' all sorts of points, so the way for organisations to ensure that their numbers tell the absolute truth, is to make sure that they are disclosing the right numbers – relevant, key metrics, and most importantly, if they want people to trust their numbers, they have to be checked and validated by an independent third party. Engaging global supply chains Whilst companies may start to invest in their ESG performance, extending this work to their global supply chain can add a layer of complexity. It can be perceived as easier to manage ESG objectives in your owned facilities, buildings and operations, but those mandates need to be applied further. Businesses need to find ways ...

Don't give up on risk management. It's the backbone of the product development lifecycle and human factors is one of its most important activities. It serves as a tool to guide development, allowing you to improve your products by turning risk into a value-add type of activity.In this episode of the Global Medical Device Podcast, Jon Speer and Etienne Nichols talk to Shannon Hoste, President of Agilis Consulting Group and former lead for the FDA's Human Factors Team.Shannon explains her philosophy and approach on how the pieces of human factors, risk management, and product development come together. It's all about user-related risks and making the right design decisions early on during product development.Some of the highlights of this episode include:Human factors is a risk management activity that the FDA and International Organization for Standardization (ISO) requests. It's all about use-related risk.Risk management helps make design decisions around safety and efficacy, and human factors provide a focused view on user- and use-related risks.The main contributor that companies come across are deficiencies and questions regarding the human factors process, including the use-related risk assessment.Probability and occurrence is challenging for most people. To understand product risk, understand risk is probability and disparity. To know what's driving human factors, understand what could lead to high-disparity harm or kill someone.Based on user needs and human behavior, risk management helps companies understand users, how they interact with your product, and what can go wrong.Step-by-step process of risk assessment is to identify all tasks, identify what can go wrong, stay focused to build information, and then identify solutions.Product development engineers want their product to be safe and work. Embrace human factors to improve that as a likelihood. Do not resist it.Memorable quotes from Shannon Hoste:“Human factors at its core, at least the regulatory aspect of human factors, is a risk management activity. It's all about use-related risk.”“All of it is a tool to guide development.”“I need to look at anything that could lead to high-disparity harm, regardless of if it doesn't happen that often, if it's going to kill someone, then I want to understand it.”“Engineers really like to solve problems. We're going to jump in and look for solutions, and I think that the human factors, the user needs work, as well, is all about understanding the problem and not solving it.”Links:Shannon Hoste on LinkedInAgilis Consulting GroupPathway for Patient HealthFDA - Medical DevicesFDA - Human Factors ConsiderationsFDA - Human Factors and Medical DevicesISO 62366 - Medical Devices — Part 1: Application of usability engineering to medical devicesThe Greenlight Guru True Quality Virtual SummitGreenlight Guru YouTube ChannelMedTech True Quality Stories PodcastGreenlight Guru

Summary of the response article titled On the difficulty of agreeing upon a universal logic for city standards from 2019 by James Merricks White, published in the City – analysis of urban trends, culture, theory, policy, action journal. This article is the response to the last research episode's debate article, by Schindler and Marvin which was about three standards for the future of cities, and I highly encourage everyone to check that as well. But I thought it would be interesting to hear the contra arguments. This response article investigates and corrects Schindler and Marvin's mistake of leaving out the system in which the chosen three ISO standards were conceptualised. You can find the article through this link. Abstract: In a paper published within the Debates section of City last year, Schindler and Marvin laid out an agenda for the study of city standards, which they argued impose a universal logic of control. While they described three published standards and situated city standards within the context of smart cities, their failure to consider the institutional setting of the International Organization of Standardization (ISO) led them to overemphasise the coherence and unity with which city standards are actually developed. In this response piece, I correct this omission by excavating the origins of TC 268, the technical committee dedicated to city standards. This reveals not a universal logic of control, but a body of expertise in contentious and contingent emergence. While ultimately, I agree with Schindler and Marvin that city standards are deserving of greater attention from critical urban scholars, I argue for a more situated response to their politics that leaves open the possibility of them having positive effects on urban equity and social change. The transcript is available through this link. What wast the most interesting part for you? What questions did arise for you? Let me know on twitter @WTF4Cities! I hope this was an interesting episode for you and thanks for tuning in. Music by Lesfm from Pixabay

This is your HR News Flash, your briefing on talent management and the world of work from HRCI. Global standards are necessary, yet present many challenges. This is particularly significant for HR practitioners, as standards and terms concerning employment laws, social and cultural norms and business processes- including ethics are the backbone of a thriving organization. Let us review the International Organization for Standardization ISO initiative, ISO 30415 standard. It was created by a team of international HR experts from 14 countries regarding the implementation and sustainability of global diversity and inclusion practices. Maintain sustainable development goals. Inclusive workplace cultures support fundamental human rights. This ISO 30415 was built for the United Nations sustainable development goals based on the 2030 agenda. It identifies and incorporates three human rights: reduced inequalities, decent work and economic growth and gender equality. Incorporate diverse perspectives. Drafts of the ISO 30415 were open to comments from global HR professionals from 33 participating countries. This allowed diverse feedback during the development process as the committee worked towards a consensus for an international standard. Building consensus by reconciling comments. The last draft of the ISO 30415 received almost a thousand comments from global HR professionals. Enabling these voices and leveraging critical thinking helped the committee incorporate diverse ideas that are clear and actionable into the standard.  This concludes your HR News Flash. HRCI prepares HR leaders for the digital age. Thanks for listening. Check back soon for the workplace news you need. Learn more at HRCI.org.

CEO Kobi Simmat explains, what it means to be ISO 27001 Certified. ISO 27001 is an information security management system (ISMS) standard published in October 2005 by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The certification ensures that effective security controls and policies are in place. The certification process is a measurement of the performance of best security practices and identification of opportunities to improve those practices. It basically involves testing the existence and effectiveness of the information security controls at any given institution.

In this episode of Rethinking Supply Chain, Venzee CEO, John Abrams, and Diana Chen are talking about standards in Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). John begins by explaining how organizations such as Global Standards 1, known as GS1, set the guidelines for product information communication across the world. Given the varied systems of measurement in different countries, GS1, together with other bodies like the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), provide common measurements for the effective communication of product data. However, while standardization is necessary for communication, John argues that so far, it hasn’t been able to cope with the flexibility that distributors and consumers require today. John then talks about informal standards. A large retailer may want to report a certain product aspect and may note that their suppliers aren’t reporting the data through the Global Data Synchronization Network (GDSN). This can result in retailers requiring suppliers to manipulate their data sets with false information, thus destabilizing the entire GDSN dataset system. This practice is more and more frequent as consumers demand more information that suppliers and retailers may not have anticipated. So how can standardization organizations keep up with consumers’ growing needs for information? Digitalization of data will be key as standardization evolves and develops.

This CX Mini Masterclass provides clarity on the difference between user experience (UX) and customer experience (CX). Show host and customer experience expert, Julia Ahlfeldt, provides a definition of each and then explains the roles of CX vs. UX teams and how their work can complement one another. If you are looking to understand the distinction between UX and CX, then this episode is for you.       Navigating the buzzwords User experience (UX) is a buzzword in the business world. It's sometimes confused with customer experience. As the field of customer experience continues to gain momentum, it’s important to understand how other disciplines like user experience fit into the picture, so that CX professionals can effectively collaborate with these teams and help business leaders understand what’s what. Customer experience and user experience are related. We could think of them as cousins and good friends. Related, but still different. If we want to make a comparison between customer experience and user experience, the most logical place to start is with a definition of each.   Understanding CX On CX Day, the CXPA released a great video with a definition of customer experience. The definition that I use is similar to the CXPA. I cover this in detail in episode 14, but as a quick refresher, we can think of a brand’s customer experience as all the ways that a consumer interfaces with that particular brand. Customer experience is the combined effect of things like touchpoints, products, service support, communication, plus a whole bunch of other things. While the definition of a brand's customer experience is all encompassing, we must remember that as customers move through their lives, their individual journeys will include experiences beyond the confines of just one brand. Customer journeys don’t happen in a vacuum, they happen in the real world where people talk with their friends, read online reviews and interact with any number of other entities before or after they interface with your brand.   Defining UX I'm pleased that the CXPA has provided some clarity around the definition of CX. The professional community needed this clarity, and it's probably safe to say that the UX community could benefit form the same. There are a wide range of definitions out there. One of the most commonly referenced definitions is from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). They've defined UX as a person’s perceptions and responses resulting from the use and or anticipated use of a product, system or service. We could also interpret this as how a customer feels about every interaction they have with what’s in front of them while they’re using it.   CX vs. UX While UX and CX both pertain to a person’s interactions and their responses, user experience tends to look at this through the lens of an interaction with a particular system or touchpoint. And in practice, user experience assessment or user interface design normally hone in on an individual’s interactions with a specific thing. This makes UX essentially a subset of CX, and it explains why user experience maps often feel like a zoomed in look at a particular facet of the customer journey. In the business world, UX has gained notoriety as a practice for improving user experiences in the digital space. The definition of user experience isn’t necessarily restricted to the digital realm, but this is why people so often associate user experience design with developing tech solutions. It’s obvious that UX plays an important role in CX. With more and more of our experiences happening in the digital world, it’s crucial that UX and CX teams for work together. We don't always need to think of things in terms of CX vs. UX. In fact there are many opportunities for the two fields of work to collaborate and complement each other. For example, CX teams can help UX teams understand the bigger picture by incorporating customer experience principl...

This is your daily roundup for Tuesday, September 24, 2019.  Kik messenger is shutting down, CoinShares urges customers to lobby against the UK’s FCA regulations, and the head of Japan’s central bank is calling for international cooperation in regulating stablecoins. ☕ Buy Me A Coffee: https://glow.fm/mota Kik Messenger Shuts Down Kik has announced that it is shutting down the Kik messaging app, reducing the team size to 19, and will focus on converting Kin users into Kin buyers. According to Israeli news site Calcalist, Kin has laid off 70 employees. Kik has been in an 18 month long dispute with the SEC over the 2017 KIN ICO which raised $100 million. The SEC claims the KIN ICO was an unregistered securities offering. Kik Interactive CEO Ted Livingston stated “After 18 months of working with the SEC the only choice they gave us was to either label Kin a security or fight them in court. So with the SEC working to characterize almost all cryptocurrencies as securities we made the decision to step forward and fight.” CoinDesk originally reported that Livingston would be stepping down as CEO, but it turned out to be fake news. The remaining core team, including Livingston, is pivoting toward further developing the KIN token. BSDEX Opens Bitcoin Spot Trading Germany’s second-largest stock exchange has opened a regulated trading venue for digital assets. Boerse Stuttgart Digital Exchange (BSDEX), a fully regulated digital asset exchange under the German Banking Act, opened a  bitcoin-euro trading pair. The exchange plans to add ethereum, litecoin, and XRP euro trading pairs later this year. BSDEX will open for German retail and institutional investors slowly followed by the entire EU. The exchange has partnered with SolarisBank on the initiative, Solaris will process payments and custody euro funds. CoinShares Against FCA Regulations CoinShares is urging customers to lobby the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) over fear that regulations will restrict retail investors from it’s premiere product exchange-traded notes (ETNs). In the letter to investors, CoinShares wrote “We believe that the FCA has not provided sufficient evidence to justify the proposed ban. Through its consultation, the regulator makes little attempt to genuinely evidence its claims and instead ‘cherry picks’ data sets in order to illustrate its perception of crypto assets,” Similar to a bond, ETNs provide investors with returns based on a market benchmark such as the S&P 500. CoinShares offers exchange-traded products for bitcoin, ethereum, litecoin, and XRP. Released this past July, the FCA consultation paper claimes that “retail consumers cannot reliably assess the value and risks of derivatives and exchange-traded products that reference certain crypto assets.”  The proposed ban is scheduled for ban Oct. 3rd. Binance Receives Security Accreditation Binance has been awarded an information security accreditation after meeting standards set out by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). To receive the accreditation, Binance was examined  on 114 criteria across 14 categories by DNVL and the United Kingdom Accreditation Service, including security policy, asset management, operational security and information systems. Binance CEO CZ stated “Obtaining the ISO certification is one significant aspect of our security commitment to the industry and our community” The accreditation shows that Binance meets the international ISO/IEC 27001 standard, providing users with some trust in the platforms security. Japan’s Central Bank Calls For Libra Regulation The head of Japan’s central bank has called for international cooperation in regulating stablecoins like the Facebook-led Libra. According to Reuters, Haruhiko Kuroda, governor of the Bank of Japan, stated “If Libra is introduced, it could have a huge impact on society.” Japan previously set up a working group this july to discuss the potential ramifications of Libra on fiscal policy.

Rathinavani 90.8 Community Radio Broadcast - Oct 14 2018 | World Standards Day & Freedom Artist Special Album Song by Rathinam Viscom Students | Neeyum Illama Song with the artist interview. World Standards Day (or International Standards Day) is celebrated internationally each year on 14 October. The day honours the efforts of the thousands of experts who develop voluntary standards within standards development organizations such as the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), International Organization for Standardization (ISO), International Telecommunication Union (ITU), Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). The aim of World Standards Day is to raise awareness among regulators, industry and consumers as to the importance of standardization to the global economy. 14 October was specifically chosen to mark the date, in 1946, when delegates from 25 countries first gathered in London and decided to create an international organization focused on facilitating standardization.Even though ISO was formed one year later, it wasn't until 1970 that the first World Standards Day was celebrated. உலகத் தர நிர்ணய நாள் (World Standards Day) என்பது ஆண்டு தோறும் அக்டோபர் 14ம் நாளன்று உலகளாவிய முறையில் கொண்டாடப்பட்டு வருகிறது. சீர்தரத்துக்கான அனைத்துலக நிறுவனம் (ஐ.எஸ்.ஓ.), அனைத்துலக மின் தொழில்நுட்ப ஆணையம் (ஐ.ஈ.சி.), அனைத்துலகத் தொலைத்தொடர்பு ஒன்றியம் (ஐ.டி.யூ.) ஆகிய நிறுவனங்களின் வழிமுறைகளுக்கு உட்பட்டு உலகத் தரங்களை உருவாக்கப் பாடுபடும் தொழில்துறை வல்லுநர்களின் சேவையைப் பாராட்டவும் பொருள்கள் மற்றும் சேவைகளில் விளங்க வேண்டிய சீர்மைத் தன்மையின் அவசியத்தை உலகளாவிய ரீதியில் வலியுறுத்தவும் இந்நாள் கொண்டாடப்பட்டு வருகிறது. ஒவ்வோர் ஆண்டும் ஐ.எஸ்.ஓ. மாநாட்டில், பல்லாயிரக்கணக்கான நிபுணர்கள் பங்கேற்கின்றனர். பல தொழில்நுட்பக் குழுக்களும், துணைக் குழுக்களும், பணிக் குழுக்களும் அமைக்கப்பட்டுப் பல்வேறு தொழில்களுக்கான தர நிர்ணயங்களை அந்நிபுணர்கள் வகுத்தளிக்கின்றனர் அல்லது மேம்படுத்துகின்றனர். IEC, ISO மற்றும் ITU என்பன சந்தைகளை உருவாக்கல், சுற்றுச் சூழல் பாதுகாப்பு, சுகாதாரம், பணக்கார மற்றும் வறிய நாடுகளுக்கிடையேயான வேறுபாடுகளைக் களைவது, போன்ற பல நடவடிக்கைகளில் ஈடுபட்டு வருகின்றன.
