Adafruit PiTFT - 2.8" Touchscreen Display for Raspberry PiImad Rhali
Is this not the cutest little display for the Raspberry Pi? It features a 2.8" display with 320x240 16-bit color
pixels and a resistive touch overlay. The plate uses the high speed SPI interface on the Pi and can use
the mini display as a console, X window port, displaying images or video etc. Best of all it plugs right in on
top!
In 2014, a new suit called the Exosuit was unveiled. The "one atmosphere" design lets divers descend up to 1,000 feet underwater -- and this suit could help scientists in the search for a cure for cancer.

Former Steve Jobs and Board of Directors of Apple Inc. Sued by Shareholders -...Stephane Beladaci
The board of directors of Apple Inc. was hit with a derivative lawsuit in a California federal court filed by a putative class of shareholders who allege the board harmed Apple by engaging in illegal antitrust conspiracy.
“Corporate officers and directors owe the highest fiduciary duties of care and loyalty to the corporation they serve,” the lawsuit says. “These members have formed incestuous relationships with other corporations and used these relationships to suppress innovation and employee pay. By allowing this behavior to continue, the Board not only violated California and federal law, they also violated their own company’s ethical standards and guidelines.”
The suit names current and former directors William V. Campbell, Apple CEO Timothy D. Cook, Millard Drexler, Arthur D. Levinson, Walt Disney Co. head Robert A. Iger, Andrea Jung and Fred. D. Anderson and the estate of Apple founder Steve Jobs — who the suit says was central to the antitrust scheme.

In the following report, we analyze the online conversation around 20 major chemical businesses. Specifically, we uncover:
- The Chemical Social Index: ranking each brand according to several key metrics.
- How brands and audiences communicate online.
Which Facebook posts resonate best with audiences.
- A comparison of Dupont and Dow Chemical conversation.
Uncertainty and change will likely dominate the post-pandemic world of travel. While security and
terrorism have been constant concerns for tourists, broader issues of personal safety, risk and crime will
understandably infuse travel decision making in the wake of COVID-19. This chapter explores the
multitude of definitions and expressions that make direct comparisons of security between places
exceptionally difficult. In this chapter, context, hyper-specific location, travel security and crime
prevention techniques are introduced. The chapter also explores the relationships and overlaps of
international security, safety, terrorism, crime and risk. Complete with a series of systematic literature
reviews specific to each sub-topic, large data sets, expert analysis and evidence-based decision making,
this chapter offers practical tips for travellers at all levels of experience. The curated, practical advice will
empower tourists to contribute to their own personal security by better understanding the complexities
summed up with simple, practical guidance no matter where they venture. Overall, the consolidated
security and terrorism work within this chapter presents an updated base for tourists and the travel
industry to relaunch travel in the wake of one of the world’s most significant travel disruptions. Tourists
should be better informed and equipped for new travel challenges and adventures.
Throughout, and in the wake of a global pandemic, many countries have re-evaluated what exactly constitutes critical infrastructure and the importance of this infrastructure or systems of state/national significance. This reflection has also reconsidered exactly what critical infrastructure, facilities or systems of national significance mean to the country, community, and national security. Australia is no exception. However, not only has Australia informally re-evaluated the nature and status of its critical infrastructure but it has also broadened both the definition and legislation mandating greater security and risk management.
The context and impact of Australia’s reflexive security risk management actions and legislation have yet to be considered in full, especially as it relates to public/private security, and more importantly enterprise security risk management. That is, aside from the considerable change in critical infrastructure legislation, what does it mean for the information, knowledge and practice of security management and risk management within an organisational, infrastructure context? More specifically, when and where security and risk are conjoined as siloed functions? As a result, this discussion and information paper seeks to introduce the topic of critical infrastructure and systems of national significance as a contemporary challenge or mature consideration for security and/or risk management practices.
While focused on Australia primarily, the critical infrastructure discourse has security risk management implications for most countries and jurisdictions. This paper explores global opinions, prior research and explicit public security guidance from national agencies and authorities about security risk management and critical infrastructure. It is therefore hoped, this initial summary and supporting observations spawns and supports a new age of security and risk sciences within the protection and resilience of critical infrastructure, systems of national significance and enterprise security risk management.
This information and discussion presentation offers the first step in unpacking and understanding the change, requirements and demands of security and risk management practices and processes within the critical infrastructure and systems of national significance. Moreover, this presentation explores the technical and professional nuances of security management and risk management and how it is inadequately defined or communicated in legislation and practice. Posing the greatest question for governments, operators, and security/risk practitioners. Security for who, when, how, to what standard and in what context? In addition to the reality that if ‘risk’ management was inadequate and unable to self-regulate or evolve to face the evolving and changing threats, what changed? In short, changing laws, rules and expectations fails to raise the bar of security and risk management practices without a commensurate increase in the underlying information, knowledge, education and experience of security and risk representatives. This deficit will not be corrected nor rectified overnight, with the subsequent ‘gap’ likely evident for years after the new threat and legislation. For now, the current individual and collective risk profile is likely that of fragility and vulnerability, not resilience, with the greatest liability that of humans, not infrastructure.
Travel risk ratings: The risk is not the advance forecast, it is the reckless and negligent recalibration once events become past, past becomes data and data become evidence. It is the proof of specific, contextual numbers that makes drunk driving, untested medicines and random guesses SAFER than travel risk ratings because before the event and data was uncertainty, after the accumulation of numbers, there is a certainty.
