Within this assessment, the red team (also referred to as ‘the team’) gained initial access through a web shell left from a third party’s previous security #assessment.

Today's #security measures therefore tend to reduce security rather than increase it. 🤔😖

Lord #TrumpVirus the "stable genius" is now spouting off challenges to compete with him for cognitive clarity.
As long as he can choose the 'test'; so his opponent must be prepared to out-do a 'perfect' ID of woman-man-person-camera.....

What I know from decades of teaching, researching, and doing cognitive assessment is that "thinking" is multi-dimensional and that people do have different patterns of strengths and weakness; some are better at spatial reasoning & memory, some are verbally oriented. Some can plan and see cause/effect, others don't do so well. Some grab concepts quickly, verbal &/or nonverbal, others no.

So I'm left pondering how the guy with "all the best words" would do on test of word use and conceptual reasoning.

On one of the earlier Wechsler (IQ) tests, a favorite item (no longer asked) was: "What does this expression mean: "Shallow brooks are noisy". I would love to see Drumpf's answer! (Or on any item tapping 'concept formation' or categorization'.)

Of course I smile at the thought of his taking any sort of formal thinking / 'emotional' / 'projective' test. I'd do the testing for free!

I'm pretty sure one of the old classics would end up like this.

US Wind Commits to Environmental Research Partnership With UMCES


US Wind Inc. has declared $11 million in funding over 10 years to the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science (UMCES) for three research projects aimed at understanding the potential effects of offshore wind development on marine mammals, fish and birds. The research will take place in US Wind’s 80,000-acre federal lease area off the coast of Ocean City, Md.

IPCC Sixth Assessment Report ~ 09August2021

' #Climatechange includes both #global #warming driven by #human-induced #emissions of #greenhouse #gases and the resulting large-scale #shifts in #weather #patterns.'
According to the new #IntergovernmentalPanelOnClimateChange #IPCC #climatereport, the #carbon #budget that gives us the best odds of staying below 1,5°C runs out in less than 5 and a half years at our current #emissions rate. The new report contains no real surprises. It confirms what we already know from thousands of previous studies and reports - that we are in an #emergency. It’s a solid (but cautious) #summary of the current best available science. It doesn't tell us what to do. It is up to us to be brave and take decisions based on the #scientific #evidence provided in these reports. We can still avoid the worst #consequences, but not if we continue like today, and not without treating the #crisis like a crisis.
