9/20/2023 0 Comments Jbidwatcher safeFrom discovering a “new command” for speeding up your installation (thus breaking something) to installing some random deb packages. Your browser is a portal to all sorts of random stuff. It’s my opinion that your web browser is the single greatest threat to your Ubuntu installation out there. Remember, keeping up with your updates is one of the easiest ways to harden your Ubuntu installation. Because a malicious user or script can use software to look for a way in and test the waters to see if an exploit is possible – desktop or server. So I go back to my previous point about securing your ports. After all, the common belief is that a desktop won’t ever see the number of IP address specific visits that a server would. Now I realize the above paragraph sounds scary and perhaps even a little over the top. By ignoring these updates and not patching your system, you’re unnecessarily exposing yourself and potentially others to harmful intent should you fall victim to an unpatched exploit. These security patches are designed to address vulnerabilities in the code running on your computer. Included with Ubuntu updates are critical security patches. The only price you’ll ever pay is failing to update your system with these updates. In addition to being awesome, it also provides you with a lifetime supply of security updates at no cost whatsoever. You’re running a powerful free operating system. Let this following statement sink in for a second. Whether that risk is due to an open port or worse or an unchecked vulnerability. And while it does offer a layer of protection, adding to that protection ensures you’re not going to end up dealing with a great risk. It’s a common assumption that if we have a NAT router that we’re secure enough. If an application or protocol doesn’t have a good reason to be connected, then it’s best to play it safe and block that connection. The idea behind setting up your firewall to block unwanted connections is simple commonsense. If you’re seeing an increase in brute forced attacks, I’d also recommend increasing your key strength just to be safe. To further secure your computer, do an audit of which users are authorized to use SSH. And while merely changing the default port to common applications isn’t a solution by itself, doing so with SSH and using secure keys helps protect access to your computer. Some common ports you would want to allow access to (and this varies from user to user) include ports for email, web browsing and application-specific needs.Įven something like SSH (Secure Shell) can be exploited because the default port is being used and root is accessible via password authentication. It’s important to make sure ufw is set to block any ports that aren’t being used on a regular basis. Chances are your computer will report back with Status: inactiveand that’s dangerous. This means taking the time to run sudo ufw status verbose in order to see if your computer is protected from outside attacks. If you truly want to keep your Ubuntu installation safe from harm, mind your ports. And for obvious reasons a Linux anti-virus software isn’t going to protect you in this area. The truth is, you’re far more likely to run into trouble by running commands or bash scripts you don’t understand. Best bet is to let the Windows user run the software and leave the security suites to the Windows fans. You’d have to manually “share” the infected file and have the Windows user execute the file for it to be a threat. Outside of this, it’s completely pointless at this point to bother with it. So if you’re networked with a Windows box, using said software is useful as it prevents infect files from being accidentally sent over to a Windows user. This is the best focus for this type of software, despite it also being able to scan for Linux threats. The fact is, Linux anti-virus software actually helps to deal with Windows malware threats. Anti-virus software isn’t neededįor most Ubuntu users the idea of using an anti-virus on their desktops is a waste of time. In this article I’ll share my essential Ubuntu security hardening techniques. Yet sometimes in our haste, we forget to address important security measures early on. Ubuntu security isn’t difficult: Hardening your Ubuntu installation is usually a straight forward process.

9/20/2023 0 Comments Becca prismatica face paletteThe performance of each highlighter is very similar, so there isn’t a dud included which is great. If your skin tone is darker than mine all of these shades will work well. Champange Pop gets too dark for me very quickly, so I have to be very careful with how much product I apply. Rose Quartz and Vanilla Quartz work best for me because I’m very pale. Plus, sets like this offer a great opportunity to try multiple shades. I like having these smaller products that I will be able to completely use. There’s so much product included that even if I used the same one everyday it would take forever to finish. So, I’m trying three shades for the price of one, that’s a good deal in my book. With that in mind, I was stoked to see this set offering three shades for $35.00USD/$47.00CAD.Ī full sized Becca highlighter contains 0.25 oz/7g of products. Becca does sell mini highlighters individually, but even those are a sizable $22.00USD/$29.50CAD. Build your own palette, create a color combination, or discover look ideas to try. Get a free full-size face scrub, mini de-aging duo, or 7-piece kit with eligible 45 order. I had always wanted to try a Becca highlight, but I didn’t want to pay the $38.00USD/$50.00CAD for one highlighter shade. Becca Prismatic Amethyst is a very cool-toned. I wasn’t interested in the this set because of the name on it. Not going to lie, I don’t know who Barbie Ferreria is. I don’t usually apply highlighter with my finger, but it can easily be done with these shades.Įach mini highlighter contains. I could easily apply these highlights with a brush or with my finger. The texture of the highlighters is very nice. I could easily apply one light layer or add more product to get an intense glow. Rose Quartz and Vanilla Quartz are very easy to build up. Vanilla Quartz has similar wear time to the other two shades at 7+ hours. Vanilla Quartz was more similar to Rose Quartz and was not as sparkly as Champange Pop. Like the other highlights in this set Vanilla Quartz blends well and has lovely pigmentation. Vanilla Quartz is also beautiful! I’m so happy with shade. Vanilla Quartz – creamy, light-golden with pink pearl. It lasted very well on my face, wearing for 7+ hours. It blended well into my skin and didn’t enhance texture. Rose Quartz wasn’t as intense as Champagne Pop. Rose Quartz gave my cheeks the most stunning glow and it worked so well with my skin tone. This highlighter is so gorgeous! I love a pink highlight and this one is nearly perfect. Rose Quartz – neutral, pale pink with soft, golden pearl. Champagne Pop is very sparkly and lasted for 7+ hours on me. It applied smoothly and didn’t enhance the texture of my skin. I’m super pale, so this shade is dark for me, but it’s so pretty. The shade is very warm toned, shiny and beautiful. This highlighter is so pigmented! I applied this highlight to my face and it was a ray of light. Add Prismify onto high point of cheek.Champagne Pop – soft, golden with pinky-peach pearl. Build Hued onto the outer corner of eye using soft strokes.įace: Sweep Glimmer onto cheek blending towards temple using a large fluffy face brush.

However, just because you’re fed up with BioShock Infinite - Season Pass doesn’t mean you are ready to try a completely new type of gameplay or genre. We either reach every single achievement, explore every single corner of the map, or get tired of the game trying. Good things in this world come to an end, even the longest, most replayable installments. In your case, you started looking for games like BioShock Infinite - Season Pass and found a perfect source. Sometimes we just can’t get enough of certain titles, even after we finish them through and through. End rant.What games to play if you like BioShock Infinite - Season Pass? Not really fair to jump down someone's throat for making a horde mode for cheap, when they are still offering two large, I would guess large seeing how it is 15 a piece. Just trying to be fair to the publisher, who in my mind, hasn't given us any crappy product. It's just some added fun for when you are bored and want to play bioshock, minus the story. Even Alan Wake has a horde mode in the new Nightmare game, and that was also story based. 5 dollars doesn't get you a lot anymore, but seems Irrational made it worth 5 dollars. Even for five dollars, I think it is 4 horde maps for 5 dollars?Īnd the museum aspect? That's pretty nifty. I just find the fact people are upset with one piece of cheap DLC to stop them from buying a season pass, yet people are willing to pay for other DLC passes, for only map packs for other games. Even then, if it wasn't, the museum may give eve more information on characters. Could have been a publisher request or something like that. Which, no one is even sure if Irrational had a complete choice in making Clash a DLC. So basically, you save 15 dollars, making the clash basically free. And even with Clash in the Clouds, and the two Buried Under the Sea, episodes, i got a great deal. I, personally, bought the season pass early on and expected that I will get my moneys worth of DLC from Irrational. So, after reading a few of the comments on the new Infinite DLC, I am a little upset with gamers. How do I extract sounds/textures/models from the game? Is the Season Pass / Ultimate Rapture Edition worth it? What order should I play the games / Do I have to play all the games to understand BioShock Infinite or Burial at Sea? How do the remastered versions of the games in BioShock: The Collection compare to the originals? New to the BioShock series? Unsure if your question has been answered already?

Both presenters used the results of their non-invasive technical examinations – infrared reflectography (IRR) to investigate the underdrawing, UV reflectance spectroscopy and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) for pigment identification – to better differentiate technical properties and ultimately to find new arguments to support the attribution of the miniatures to different masters already established by art historians. The study is part of the larger research project MINIARE, dedicated to the technical analysis of illuminated manuscripts at the University of Cambridge its results will be presented to a broader public in a large exhibition at the Fitzwilliam Museum in 2016. The first part of the morning session was opened by the curator Stella Panayotova and her scientific research collaborator Paola Ricciardi, both of the Fitzwilliam Museum, who presented their research on the Grandes Heures of the duke Philip the Bold (ms. The wide attendance of both manuscripts conservators, art historians and students has proven that the subject did not only touch questions of general relevance for all the disciplines but also revealed the need for a broader and more accessible presentation of methodologies and appropriate means of communication between science and humanities to fruitfully link both specialties. Marina Van Bos (KIK-IRPA), Lieve Watteeuw (Illuminare) and Anne Dubois (KU Leuven & UCL) organized the study day held at the KIK-IRPA in Brussels, which turned into such a large success that it could have well filled a much broader conference program. The interest in the technical study of illuminated manuscripts has long been neglected outside the conservation studios and, for a long time, was only rarely a point of interdisciplinary discussion between conservators and art historians. The increasing knowledge about material properties is considerable and can help in many ways not only to determine the condition of a work of art but also to better understand aspects of its creation, its alteration throughout time and the artists’ working methods. Investigation techniques such as X-radiography, infrared reflectography and various methods of pigment analysis and molecular identification belong to the standard procedures of painting examination and are also used by curators in modern museums today. The first interdisciplinary studies in the field of panel painting such as the conference series Le dessin sous-jacent dans la peinture, which was first held in 1977, have brought attention to new methods and questions of research. It was first and foremost pursued by conservators and used for object-based analysis carried out in the curatorial departments of museums all around the world. Art technical research on works of art has been a major field of interest for more several decades now. 9/20/2023 0 Comments Coffee cup password wizardThe instructions to do that are included above.

Well first of all, there isĪ whole managerial structure within the executive branch, but on top of that, you Is roughly 2.8 million people, and we talk about that in other videos. When we think of the executive branch, we often think of the President or maybe the people who work around the president. Now what we're going to do in this video is dig a little bit deeper in terms of how does Congress have oversight Now what we're going toįocus on in this video is in previous videos we've talked about that the executive branch is inĬharge of running the government while the legislativeīranch, they're the folks who either write laws With the President at the head of the executive branch.

Request that these special representations be highlighted and explained by management.ĭiscuss the status of the external auditors’ work before the earnings release.Įxternal auditors may indicate that they are “comfortable” with the results the company is about to release, but the reality is that auditors cannot provide final approval until their work is completed-so understanding what work is left to be completed is important.Īssess the risk that some event or finding could come to light before the actual filing date that could impact the preliminary results to be reported in the earnings release.Īudit committees should consider the company’s history, management experience, and the facts and circumstances.- In multiple videos already, we have talked about the In addition to normal ongoing representations, external auditors sometimes add nonstandard items to address unusual transactions or events that occurred during the period. Understand any nonstandard representations in management’s letter of representation to the external auditors. Have management describe significant transactions or events that were discussed in the quarterly meeting. If the company maintains a disclosure committee, understand how it functions and who attends the meetings. But recent focus and interpretive guidance by the SEC staff warrant additional focus to ensure management’s use of non-GAAP measures is appropriate. In particular, audit committees should ensure that both positive and negative adjustments are included. Transparent disclosure of non-GAAP measures can be useful to investors. Pay attention to “special items” and non-GAAP measures - particularly in the earnings release. Request schedules quantifying the impact of both unusual transactions and significant changes in estimates impacting the current period. Consider having management highlight these areas within the draft filing document(s) as well. Have management prepare a summary memo highlighting areas of change (e.g., risk factors, disclosures, accounting policies, new events and developments) from the prior period. Ask management for help in better understanding what has changed in the current filing. This ability makes KIPP more efficient through cutting-edge technology."Īccording to the Department of Healthcare and Human Services, most HIPAA breaches are due to lost or stolen devices and media containing Protected Health Information (PHI)1. Sookasa will enable us to utilize cloud storage to allow all employees of KIPP Houston to access our data from anywhere, on any device, universally synchronized, that is HIPAA compliant. We have employees of varying ranges of technical expertise so we wanted a HIPAA compliant tool that anyone could use. We moved to Dropbox because of its user friendliness and Sookasa offers that same benefit. "Sookasa's ease-of-use impressed us, and we wanted something that could easily and seamlessly integrate into Dropbox. See accompanying company launch announcement issued by Sookasa today at: "The combination of Dropbox and Sookasa allows us to take advantage of the unlimited space provided by Dropbox and the HIPAA compliance provided by Sookasa," said Son Han, Director of Accounting and Compliance at KIPP Houston Public Schools. With today's introduction, Sookasa also announced its formal company launch and latest round of funding led by Accel Partners. Sookasa's technology of centralized access control and distributed encryption uniquely positions it to address many of these fundamental security challenges." The accelerating Bring Your Own Technology (BYOT) trend is expanding data leak and breach challenges, since sensitive data is being shared across a plethora of cloud-connected devices on a massive scale. "Businesses of any size can easily support even external data sharing at an affordable cost with minimal setup and maintenance. "Sookasa is challenging the traditional security notion that you have to trade usability for security by offering compliance ready, on-demand, enterprise-grade data encryption, access control, and tracking to users in any business vertical using the native application interface and experience," said David Monahan, Research Director, Security and Risk Management at Enterprise Management Associates. After a quick installation process, Sookasa users enjoy the natural user experience of their favorite cloud services without ever noticing their files are being encrypted and decrypted in the background. Sookasa controls and audits file accesses across devices and users according to HIPAA and FERPA standards. With Sookasa, files are encrypted anywhere they are placed, including on the cloud, mobile devices and desktops, and remain encrypted even when shared externally. With today's launch, for the first time, organizations have a self-service turnkey encryption and compliance solution that enables their employees to safely use their favorite mobile devices and cloud services. Current encryption solutions require heavy IT resources, restrict user freedom and significantly hurt user experience, and are therefore not suitable for smaller agile businesses. This creates a significant challenge in regulated industries such as healthcare, education, legal and finance because the loss of a single device that is connected to a cloud account can cause a catastrophic data breach and significant legal liability. Sookasa enables professionals to natively use their favorite cloud services, such as Dropbox and Gmail, and mobile devices, while transparently encrypting sensitive data and addressing regulations such as HIPAA and FERPA.Ĭloud services such as Dropbox, Box and Gmail scatter and duplicate files across multiple devices and shared folders. Sookasa, Inc., an innovator in compliance for popular cloud applications and mobile devices, today introduced Sookasa Cloud Compliance Service™, the industry's first Compliance as a Service™ solution that radically simplifies the protection of sensitive files across popular cloud services and mobile devices. 9/19/2023 0 Comments Download midipipeWe will collect all comments in an effort to determine whether the MidiPipe 0.9.7 software is reliable, perform as expected and deliver the promised features and functionalities.
