Mystery author Rachel Goldman is getting used to the idea that her fictional creation Duffy Madison has somehow taken flesh-and-blood form and is investigating missing person cases not far from where Rachel lives. Wait. No. She’s not getting used to it at all, and the presence of this real-life Duffy is making her current manuscript—what’s the word?—lousy. So she doesn’t want to see Duffy—the living one—at all. To make matters worse, when he shows up at her door and insists on talking to her, it’s about the one thing she doesn’t want to do: Find a missing person. But the man Duffy seeks this time around might be able to solve Rachel’s problem. He might just be the man Duffy was before he became Duffy five years ago. The only problem is she could be letting Duffy lead her into danger yet again… Entertaining and witty, the second in E.J. Copperman's Mysterious Detective Mystery series Edited Out will delight his fans, both new and old.

Este documento es parte de una consultoría del IFPRI con el Banco Mundial para apoyar al gobierno de Argentina, y en particular al Ministerio de Agricultura, Ganadería y Pesca (MAGyP), en el análisis de los derechos o impuestos de exportación (DEXs), llamados también retenciones en la Argentina. Este es un tema con importantes implicaciones políticas, económicas y sociales.

América Latina y el Caribe es un importante protagonista en la producción y el comercio de productos agroalimentarios, ya que es el principal exportador neto de estos productos. La región cuenta con los recursos naturales (tierra, agua y energía renovable) y la capacidad necesaria para producir alimentos de manera sostenible y para satisfacer sus necesidades y abastecer al mundo. Sin embargo, durante 2021, la inseguridad alimentaria moderada o grave afectó al 40,6% de la población en la región (267,7 millones de personas), cifra considerablemente superior al promedio mundial (29,3%).

In this episode of the IoT Insider podcast, Bernard Montel provides a brief history of the evolution of the Cloud and the challenges of securing it.

Tenable®, the exposure management company, today announced new risk prioritization and compliance features for Tenable Nessus, the #1 vulnerability assessment solution in accuracy, coverage and adoption. Nessus supports new and updated vulnerability scoring systems – Exploit Prediction Scoring System (EPSS) and Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) v4 – to help customers implement more effective prioritization for risk reduction and maintain compliance.

Due to evolving threats and expanding attack surfaces, organizations rely on multiple risk scoring systems, which are not effective risk qualifiers on their own to determine criticality. With Tenable Nessus, customers can take advantage of the latest industry-adopted vulnerability scoring systems – EPSS and CVSS v4 – and Tenable Vulnerability Priority Rating (VPR) to identify and take action on the vulnerabilities that pose the greatest risk specific to their environment. Leveraging an advanced data science algorithm developed by Tenable Research, Tenable VPR combines and analyzes Tenable proprietary vulnerability data, third-party vulnerability data and threat data to effectively and efficiently measure risk.

“EPSS and CVSS are single variables in the risk equation – context around exposures delivers a deeper level of understanding around true risk,” said Shai Morag, chief product officer, Tenable. “Recent Tenable Research found that only 3% of vulnerabilities most frequently result in impactful exposure. We’ve optimized Nessus to meet the evolving needs of our customers, empowering informed vulnerability prioritization strategies to address these critical few.”

Key features in this release include:

• EPSS and CVSS v4 Support enables users to see and filter plugins by EPSS and CVSS v4 score, further informing prioritization strategy. This feature enables security teams to remain compliant with organizational policies that require the use of EPSS or CVSS as the primary scoring system.
• Nessus Offline Mode addresses challenges with conducting vulnerability scans offline in air-gapped environments. Building upon existing offline scanning capabilities, Nessus runs critical services only, removing unwanted traffic generated by functions that rely on an active internet connection, thereby ensuring the security of sensitive data within a secure environment.
• Declarative Agent Versioning On-Prem enables users to create and manage agent profiles in Nessus Manager for Tenable Security Center. Users can specify a product version for an agent deployed in an environment, thereby reducing disruptions in day-to-day operations and enabling users to adhere to enterprise change control policies.

Tenable Nessus is available as a standalone product and is included in Tenable Security Center and Tenable Vulnerability Management. More information on Tenable Nessus is available at: https://www.tenable.com/products/nessus

Organized By: Sessions @ Michigan

Join us for an engaging "Lunch and Learn" event hosted by the Eileen Lappin Weiser Center for the Learning Sciences. As part of our inaugural series celebrating the theme of curiosity, we invite you to a thought-provoking conversation featuring Kishonna L. Gray, Professor of Information and Matthew Solomon, Professor of Film, Television, and Media, facilitated by Professors Natalie Davis and Jon Wargo.

In this session, each of our panelists will delve into how curiosity intersects with learning in their fields, from curiosity-driven research to innovative teaching practices. Panelists will briefly share multimedia examples to complement the storytelling and discussion.
Then we’ll open up the conversation, asking how fostering curiosity can lead to deeper knowledge and broader perspectives? How can these insights be applied to create more equitable and dynamic learning environments?

Bring your lunch, your questions, and your curiosity! Please register due to limited space.

Presentations:

Kishonna L. Gray - “We got next!” Getting Curious with Others in Gaming

This interactive experience centers on what we’ve learned from youth cultures in gaming. Youth are full of curiosity and imagination and engage gaming in truly innovative ways. So by exploring how they play, make, and create, we can develop better tools for gaming.


Matthew Solomon - Getting Curious and Collaborative with the Canon: From Archival Research to New Media

Sometimes, there can be a sense that there’s “nothing more to be said or done” with certain works that have prominent places in the canon of the arts and humanities. The film Citizen Kane (Orson Welles, 1941) is one such canonical work, but my feeling has been that there is always more work to be done, although inevitably new approaches are needed. In my presentation, I will discuss the collaborative and pedagogical work I’ve done since 2017 at the University of Michigan examining Citizen Kane through the Welles papers in the Mavericks & Makers collections in the UM Special Collections Research Center; co-creating the “VR Citizen Kane” teaching and learning tool with Dr. Vincent Longo (Western Michigan University) in collaboration with the Emerging Technologies Group at the UM Duderstadt Center with generous grant support from LSA Technology Services; and teaching a course exclusively devoted to Citizen Kane, FTVM 307 (Film Analysis for Filmmakers), in which students have examined archival sources while rethinking the film from the inside out through virtual reality, virtual production, and reenactment.

Virtual Event: June 12, 2024 at 10:00am-11:00am EDT. In this webinar, we will demonstrate how RIAPA has been used to identify priority agricultural value chains that most effectively contribute to development outcomes.
