The Roosevelt Island cable car, a unique mode of public transportation, efficiently shuttles passengers between different points in New York City.

The city's well-connected public transportation system, including trains, buses, taxis, and rideshares, offers a convenient and reliable way to get around. This accessibility is a crucial reason why many residents in the five boroughs, myself included, opt not to drive.

We Are All Sheepdogs!

Jeff Cooper, a US Marine, codified a set of color codes to indicate someone’s state of mind while operating in the world. His color codes were widely adopted both in the military and law enforcement world, as well as in the cybersecurity profession.

His codes described four states of mind and alertness, as shown in the graphic below. These levels of awareness certainly apply to personal security but also perfectly map to cybersecurity.

If you are in condition White, you’re totally unaware. You are busy on your cell phone - you have very little alerting or monitoring of potential threats and attacks on your network.

Condition Yellow means you’re watching what needs to be watched and ready for any alerts that might come in.

Once you get an alert, you go into condition Orange - there is a potential threat. You start to investigate, and you engage your Incident Response Plan if the attack is likely.

That mindset means all your faculties are focused on stopping that threat so you can recover from it.

Many people think of Emancipation Day (the end of American slavery) as Jan. 1, 1863, the day President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, declaring "all persons held as slaves ... shall be then, thenceforward and forever free."

But it wasn't until June 19, 1865 — 2.5 years later — that news of the proclamation finally reached the quarter-million slaves living in Texas. That's when Union General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston to announce, reading, "The people of Texas are informed ... all slaves are free. This involves an absolute equality of personal rights and rights of property between former masters and slaves...”
