The first step in establishing a cyber ethical culture is to ask the really tough questions, the answer to which may be politically incorrect. HR (Human resources), legal, security and top management need to work together to set the tone they wish to flow through gaming; other times off-site meetings will work.

The second step is to include cyber ethical components in corporate security awareness campaigns to keep employees clued in.

The last but most important step is to be ready to make changes rapidly when cyber ethics becomes a component of information security efforts. We cannot predict how they will change tomorrow or next year – but we need to be prepared.

Santos and Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) Commander Rodrigo Londono, also known by his nom de guerre Timoshenko, will signed the 297- page agreement in a ceremony in the colonial city of Cartagena attended by world leaders including UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and US Secretary of State John Kerry.

Representatives for both sides finalised the deal on August 24 (2016) in Havana after nearly four years of negotiations.

The treaty includes provisions for political participation by the FARC and transitional justice for war crimes, as well as rural reforms and reintegration of demobilised guerillas into civilian life.

In 2017, about 8000 remaining FARC fighters will relocate to 23 designated regions of the country to turn over their arms in a process to be overseen by the United Nations.

In order to take effect the peace accord must be approved in a national referendum. Recent polls showed in 2016 more than half of likely voters support the deal.

ACOG Wants To Make Vaginal Birth After C-Section Available To Way More Moms

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists announced new guidelines on Tuesday that aim to make Vaginal Birth After Cesarean — or “VBAC” — far more available to interested women.

For years, the group has supported VBAC as a safe choice for mothers who have had a prior C-section and who want to attempt a subsequent vaginal birth, provided they work with their care providers to carefully weigh the individual risks and benefits. Between 60 and 80 percent of women who try for a VBAC are able to have a vaginal birth, ACOG says.

However, following an uptick in VBACs between the late 1980s and early 1990s, the VBAC rate in this country has dropped, in part because of physicians’ fears over liability and malpractice. Women who have a VBAC are at increased risk of uterine rupture, in which there is tearing along the scar on their uterus, though estimates suggest it occurs in less than 1 out of 100 women who have a subsequent vaginal birth.

[…]

But the group’s goal is to reach a point where women who are good candidates for a vaginal birth are at least given the option.

“The message is that while [VBAC] is not right for every woman, which is really, really emphasized in the ACOG guidelines,” Rosner said. “It is something we can offer safely to many women who want it.”

Unexpected effects of nutrition

In the late 1960s, a team of researchers began distributing a nutritional supplement to families with young children in rural Guatemala. They were testing the assumption that providing enough protein in the first few years of life would reduce the incidence of stunted growth.

It did. Children who received added nutrition grew 1 to 2 centimetres taller than those in a control group. But the benefits didn’t stop there. These children went on to score higher on reading and knowledge tests as adolescents, and when researchers returned in the early 2000s, women who had received the supplements in the first three years of life completed more years of schooling and men had higher incomes.

“Had there not been these follow-ups, this study probably would have been largely forgotten,” says Reynaldo Martorell, a specialist in maternal and child nutrition who led the followup studies. Instead, he says, the findings made financial institutions such as the World Bank think of early nutritional interventions as long-term investments in human health. Since the Guatemalan research, studies around the world — in Brazil, Peru, Jamaica, the Philippines, Kenya and Zimbabwe — have all associated poor or stunted growth in young children with lower cognitive test scores and worse school achievement. A picture slowly emerged that being too short early in life is a sign of adverse conditions — such as poor diet and regular episodes of diarrhea — and a predictor for intellectual deficits and mortality.

Counting Stars

ONE REPUBLIC

Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep

Dreaming about the things that we could be

But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard

Said no more counting dollars

We'll be counting stars, yeah, we'll be counting stars

I see this life, like a swinging vine

Swing my heart across the line

And in my face is flashing signs

Seek it out and ye' shall find

Old, but I'm not that old

Young, but I'm not that bold

And I don't think the world is sold

On just doing what we're told

I feel something so right

Doing the wrong thing

I feel something so wrong

Doing the right thing

I couldn't lie, couldn't lie, couldn't lie

Everything that kills me makes me feel alive

A French art expert believes a charcoal drawing kept in a collection for more than 150 years may be a preparatory sketch made by Leonardo da Vinci of the Mona Lisa.
The black-and-white drawing of a woman, nude from the waist up, known as the Monna Vanna, was previously attributed to Leonardo’s studio, suggesting it was done in his style by a pupil or follower, not by the master himself.
But after preliminary tests at the Louvre Museum, experts believe the sketch may well have been drawn by Leonardo.
Among the signs, according to curator Mathieu Deldicque, are the fact the drawing was made during the same period as the
Mona Lisa, the paper is from the same region of Italy, and the technique is very similar to that of the Mona Lisa.
“We know the drawing was made during the lifetime of Leonardo da Vinci, we know that the paper was made in Italy, between Venice and Florence, and the third discovery is the high quality of this drawing in the face of the Monna Vanna and in her arms,” Deldicque told reporters.
“That’s very interesting because the arms are the same as the Mona Lisa‘s.” Leonardo, who lived from 1452 to 1519, was an engineer, scientist, inventor and sculptor, as well as one of the finest artists of the Italian Renaissance.
He painted the Mona Lisa, also known as La Gioconda and regarded as the world’s most valuable artwork, at the beginning of the 16th century. It is believed to depict Lisa Gherardini, the wife of a successful merchant.
EXCITING
The charcoal portrait, in which the woman is holding a similar pose to the Mona Lisa but with her body more side-on and her head turned further over her left shoulder, has been held in a collection at the Conde Museum at the Palace of Chantilly, north of Paris, since 1862.
The Mona Lisa and Monna Vanna hold their hands in very similar ways, the right hand across the left and resting on the forearm, the fingers gently extended. Deldicque said that while it was exciting to think the charcoal drawing was created by Leonardo, there were more tests to be done.
“We have one more month of analysis and then a very slow process of history of art with a collection of analysts and advice by specialists,” he said.
It is possible that process will determine that the authorship is the same. But it may also be inconclusive, he said, adding: “Maybe the mystery will remain.”

Increasing CPR training to save lives
[1] In August, Jeffrey Feig, a 50-year-old financial executive in
Manhattan and father of three young sons, became one of
the more than 350,000 Americans who each year suffer a
sudden cardiac arrest. His heart went into an erratic and
[5] ineffective rhythm and he stopped ________________.
But unlike 90 percent of people similarly afflicted,
Mr. Feig not only lived to tell the tale but survived his
near-death experience without any damage to his heart
muscle or his brain, an outcome rarely seen following an
[10] out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
