Las Vegas has amazing dog parks. Many parks have incredible desertscaping designed to keep you and your pooch as comfortable as possible. There's plenty of land for your dog to cover at these two park favorites.
Iggy Pop, a sweet stray rescued by Nevada SPCA adopted at the young age of 12. Young at heart and a super sweet Lab/Curly Coat mix.
One of the most impressive dog parks I came across for the sheer space is Dog Fancier's Park located just East of Boulder Highway on Flamingo. Dog Fancier's Park sits next to Horse Fancier's Park, both parks can be followed from their Facebook page. Dog Fancier's Park sits on an incredible 12 acres of land and has 5 off leash areas for your dog. All areas are fenced in and offer those picnic tables under shady trees and awnings. It's an incredible experience to drive in on a day when rodeos are going on next door.
Walk your dog at Sunset Park, you'll need to keep your pooch on a leash per Park requirements. For some off-leash time go to the dog park on E Warm Springs Road off of Eastern Avenue.
This dog park is next to the baseball field and has three separate dog runs designed for small, medium and large dogs.
This corner of Sunset Park is a favorite because of the open green space between the dog runs and baseball fields. Despite the constant traffic on Eastern Ave there is a quiet zen to the area. Walking along the old historic rail tracks is a plus. As a bonus, get an amazing coffee, sweet or sandwich at a new coffeeshop across from the park, Pour Coffeehouse.
DogGoes is a website for finding dog parks across the country and they also offer an app through the Apple Store. It was a great help when I kept coming across out of date Yelp reviews on dog parks and I didn't have a clue to the way city of Las Vegas was laid out. Now you can drill straight down to a page on DogGoes to a map of the dog parks are making it easier to research the area these parks are in.


MADISON – Wisconsin Attorney General Brad Schimel announced Monday he is investigating the hacking of credit rating agency Equifax.
The Republican attorney general said in a news release that his Department of Justice had issued a subpoena asking Equifax to explain what happened and why it took so long to alert the public to what happened. The state is also seeking the names of Wisconsin residents affected by the breach and what is being done to help them.
In a letter last week, Schimel and other attorneys general asked Equifax to stop offering fee-based services in response to the security breach at a time when it is also providing free services in response to it.

Stevie Wonder - "Sir Duke"
When I was in first grade, I heard black soul music every Sunday morning at the church my family attended . . . complete with hand clapping and a little bit of dancing in the aisles (it was a Pentecostal church).
This was a far cry from the Lutheran church we had previously attended, that had a quiet liturgical service. My parents were adventurous, and they were excited about this new worship style. Me? Well, it was a bit confusing and unsettling to have such a radical change . . . but I carry in my heart some wonderful memories from this Pentecostal church with lots of African Americans and lots of hippies (it was the 60's after all . . .) My favorite thing about this church, when I look back, is "the music." That's also my favorite thing about the liturgical Lutheran service -- lol!
So in the 70's when Stevie Wonder hit the music scene full force with his own blend of blues and jazz, there was a familiar ring to his sound, to me. I bought his album, Songs in the Key of Life, in the early '80's and sometimes would turn it on in my cassette player. My very favorite song from this album is one that was also a favorite for LOTS of people-- it was #1 in the US Billboard Hot 100 songs chart for 14 (nonconsecutive) weeks in 1977. That song was a tribute to some influential giants of jazz-- Count Basie, Glenn Miller, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, and one he called "the king"-- Duke Ellington.
Wonder is not Stevie's real name; Stevie isn't, either-- his name is "Stevland Morris." His first stage name was "Little Stevie Wonder"-- and he was truly a wonder; an amazing harmonica player and singer, he was signed as an artist with Motown Records at age 11. Little Stevie Wonder was the youngest artist in history to take first place in the Billboard Hot 100-- at age 13, with his song "Fingertips" (1963). If you'd like to see and hear a short video of this incredible song, see this YouTube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3ubgVjp3CY
The song I'd like to feature here was recorded 14 years and 22 albums later . . . "Sir Duke."
A few months ago, I had the privilege of helping with refreshments at a jazz concert at my daughter's college, and got to hear an instrumental version of this song. You could see people all over the room moving to the music and toe-tapping (including me). After they finished the piece, the director said, "If that song doesn't make you happy, you need to check your pulse." And he was right. So, for your listening happiness, here is a video with
"Sir Duke." This one has no images-- just the words to the song (the video was created by Kieran Heatley-- thanks, Kieran!) I found it interesting to follow along while listening; when I've heard it before I haven't understood all the words. Also, since Stevie Wonder has been blind since just after birth, maybe this is more how he would experience the song (just a dark background-- he wouldn't read the words, but he already knows them ) . . .
Mary Agrusa
Love it!!! That song has always been a favorite of mine. Thanks for sharing.

Het arrest Niet behandelde longinfectie (HR 25 juni 1996, NJ 1997/563) is een arrest van de Nederlandse Hoge Raad dat betrekking heeft op het criterium van 'redelijke toerekening' bij het leerstuk van causaliteit in het strafrecht.

Samenvatting
Verdachte heeft zijn vriendin met een pistool in haar hals geschoten, met een dwarslaesie en kort daarna een longinfectie tot gevolg. Gezien het vooruitzicht op een leven met een (hoge) dwarslaesie, ziet het slachtoffer bewust af van verdere behandeling. Ze overlijdt aan een niet behandelde longinfectie. Verdachte wordt veroordeeld wegens doodslag. De Hoge Raad oordeelt, op basis van het criterium van redelijke toerekening, dat verdachte opzettelijk zijn vriendin van het leven heeft beroofd.

Casus
Na een woordenwisseling met zijn vriendin heeft verdachte een pistool gepakt en op haar geschoten. De kogel, die in haar hals is binnengetreden, heeft een halswervel beschadigd met een 'hoge dwarslaesie' tot gevolg, zodat ze vrijwel totaal verlamd is. Ze kon haar handen en benen niet meer gebruiken, had geen gevoel meer, was incontinent, en kon zelfs niet meer zelfstandig ademhalen. Als gevolg van het letsel kreeg ze bovendien een longinfectie, die medisch gezien wel te behandelen was, maar dat heeft zij bewust geweigerd. Zelfs met maximale medische ondersteuning had zij een verkorte levensprognose (ongeveer tien jaar) en zou de kwaliteit van haar leven niet zijn aan te merken als een menswaardig bestaan. Als gevolg van de niet behandelde longinfectie is zij enkele dagen na de schietpartij overleden. Verdachte wordt aangeklaagd wegens doodslag.

Procesgang
Verdachte wordt door het hof veroordeeld voor doodslag. Hij gaat in cassatie bij de Hoge Raad. Het cassatieberoep wordt verworpen.

Rechtsvraag
Verdachte voert aan dat de beslissing van het slachtoffer om niet te worden behandeld aan de longinfectie de causale keten heeft doorbroken. De rechtsvraag is:
Heeft verdachte zijn vriendin opzettelijk van het leven beroofd?
Oftewel: Kan haar overlijden redelijkerwijs nog als gevolg aan zijn gedraging (het pistoolschot) worden toegerekend?

Hoge Raad
De Hoge Raad bevestigt het arrest van het hof:

De Hoge Raad liet hier meewegen dat het slachtoffer door toedoen van de verdachte buitengewoon ernstig letsel had opgelopen.

Belang
Het belang van het arrest schuilt in de manier waarop het criterium van 'redelijke toerekening' wordt toegepast.

Niet behandelde longinfectie

WUS 'n Boots Beer Mile-ish Feeding the Beast
By martha On March 17, 2014 · 1 Comment
You never know what kind of weather you're going to get in March in DC. The Monday before Catawba it snowed. By the time Saturday rolled around it was sunny T-shirt weather in the 50s/60s. There was still some slushy snow at Catawba's higher elevations, but the weather was glorious and I actually came away with a sunburn. Aaron and I enjoyed the day with Seanie and Ryan P., our new Finnish pal, who stuck with us through to the end. You can totally tell Ryan is a Finn from (a) his giveaway last name, and (b) how content he is to quietly trot along, joining in conversation when called upon, but otherwise perfectly happy to run in silence. I had a friend from Sweden who told me his buddies' idea of a night out was to go to a bar, sip vodka, and say nothing.
Catawba is a great run for me to do because it's so sneeeeeeeaky. Sure, 35 miles, I can do that. Eight hours later when I realize I've been on my feet for way longer than I ever have in my life, I discover that we've been running super-extra-Horton miles. But it's a good way for me to crack open my vision of the possible. If Catawba was advertised at 45 or 50 miles, you'd never get my doubting self to show. I have to be tricked into doing a 35-miler that runs like a 50. It's all about the sneaky mind games. But it's good, now I can imagine completing a 50 miler. Which is a darn good thing now that I've signed up for the Bull Run 50 in April! I know, I'm such a baby ultra runner, I haven't even done a 50 miler. I still haven't quite wrapped my head around the fact that I'm supposed to run 50 miles in a month. But having Catawba under my belt helps heaps, especially since it was *fun*. Why was it so fun? (a) the sun was out and spring was singing; (b) have you ever known anyone who loves the trails more than Sean?? his beaming was absolutely contagious on McAfee's Knob and Tinker Cliffs; (c) it was great to see Aaron finally having a great day out there after all his battles with Lyme and bursitis; (d) did I mention the sun? I also tried out arm warmers and gators for the first time — sold!
I had a bit of a low after Sean dropped out and we had to endure that interminable North Mountain PUDs (pointless ups and downs), which I nearly turned into a disaster when I mega-crashed on the final descent down to the aid station. My foot's come a long way, but I can't bomb down the descents like I used to, and I haven't quite adjusted my feet. I went down so hard and so fast, I had blood spurting out of four spots. It was the kind of fall that leaves you dizzy and shivering. Given how my knees have a nasty habit of always connecting with rocks, I felt real lucky to be able to walk away and continue the rest of the run.
Overall, I gave my foot a PASS at Catawba, which was good enough to let myself join Robin, Boots, and Alisa on a Bull Run women's team. All four runners have to finish, and it will be my first 50 miler, so I wouldn't have let myself join a team if I wasn't confident I could finish. We submitted our name as WUSsies with Pussies, but they made us change it to WUSsies with Kittycats. We're trying to convince the men's WUS team to be WUSsies after Kittycats. I did a lot of team sports as a kid and teen (soccer, basketball, field hockey), so a major appeal of Bull Run is the team part. Wussies with Pussies — best team name ever!
On the drive home on Sunday, Aaron and I stopped and strolled along the first miles of the Hellgate course, the closest I will ever get to running Hellgate. I've tried to tempt him away with proposed trips to run this awesome Kepler 50k in New Zealand that's right around Hellgate time, but that race has a fierce hold.
If you're wondering where the pictures are for this blog, I can only say that Keith's camera is the giant black hole of race photos. It's where smiley runner faces go to die. For all the pictures I've seen that camera snap, they hardly ever make a public appearance.
One Response to Return to Catawba
Sorry we missed it, my foot did NOT hold tight. 🙁
Glad you are healed up. You will do WUSsies with PUSsies proud. I'll be out there cheering you on and sending you home from FH.
I'm with you on Hellgate. Nooooooo.
LOVE that you called out the dicktease of a photographer Keith is. HA!

British Advance Into Sinai
By Erik Sass
Huffington Post / Huffington Post
Erik Sass is covering the events of the war exactly 100 years after they happened. This is the 257th installment in the series.
November 15, 1916: British Advance Into Sinai
Fighting in the Sinai Peninsula in 1914-1916 was unusual by the standards of the First World War, in large part because – unlike the nose-to-nose stalemate on the Western Front – the two opposing sides were separated by a "no man's land" consisting of an inhospitable desert stretching hundreds of miles. Although both sides staged raids and larger attacks in this huge arena with scant success, in between these encounters ordinary troops might not see the enemy for months at a time.
This situation finally began to change – albeit very slowly– on November 15, 1916, when the British Egyptian Expeditionary Force under commander-in-chief Archibald Murray made its first foray into the desert with an eye to permanent occupation, rather than reconnaissance or harassing raids. Above all, the long delay in the British offensive reflected the enormous logistical difficulties attending modern desert warfare.
The first and most challenging obstacle was also the simplest: water. With the British planning to bring a force numbering hundreds of thousands of men across the desert, the small brackish wells scattered across the Sinai Peninsula for use by Bedouin tribes were obviously going to be totally inadequate. The British decided to overcome the obstacle by building a pipeline to carry water from a base near the Suez Canal, at Qantara, across the northern Mediterranean coast of the peninsula to Palestine.
The pipeline, and an accompanying railroad (top), were the main target of the failed Turkish campaign against the British in front of the Suez Canal at Romani in August 1916. That fall the pipeline and railroad continued to advance east, while the British received additional valuable information from Jewish Zionists who knew the terrain in Palestine, including the location of wells for when the invaders were forced to leave their pipeline behind.
In mid-November the British began their gradual pursuit of the Turkish force they'd first defeated at Romani, which had now retreated to a position at Bir Lahfan, leading to another British victory at El Arish in late December 1916 and Rafah in January 1917. But here, as in Mesopotamia, anyone expecting a colonial walkover was in for a surprise: following these early successes, Turkish resistance mounted once the British arrived in Palestine, stiffened by German officers and the prospect of a threat to the empire's core territories.
For ordinary British soldiers, the slow advance across the Sinai alternated with long periods of tedium, broken up by occasional leave to Cairo or Alexandria as well as a grudging appreciation of the desert's natural beauty. Oskar Teichman, a junior medical officer serving with the British Army in Egypt, recalled the dramatic natural setting near the Suez Canal in early November:
The landscape was grand and austere; the enormous vista of endless desert, here and there interrupted by gigantic sand mountains – fashioned into fantastic shapes according to the caprices of the wind – and by occasional palm-studded Hods nestling in tiny valleys, was most impressive. In this clear atmosphere the visibility was wonderful. Perfect silence reigned, and there appeared to be no sign of life except an occasional vulture hovering over the old Turkish battle-field or a jackal slinking homewards to his laid. At sunset the sky assumed most marvellous colours, which it is useless to try to describe. Then followed the deathly stillness of the desert night…
On the other side, conditions were already dire for Ottoman citizens living in Palestine, thanks to growing shortages of food, fuel, medicine, and other necessities. These were further underlined by disparities in the rations provided to German soldiers and officers, versus ordinary Turkish soldiers and civilians, according to the Conde de Ballobar, a Spanish diplomat who found himself acting as caretaker for Allied interests in Ottoman Palestine. On November 17, 1916 he wrote in his diary:
Truly the contrast is notable in this Austrian-German-Turkish entente. The Teutons and Austrians live the life of princes: Sanatoriums, hospitals magnificently equipped, automobiles, economical restaurants, great free warehouses, very well stocked, while the Turks do not even have shoes, eat almost nothing and are lodged and cared for any old way.
Lawrence Meets Faisal
Hundreds of miles to the southeast developments marked the beginning of the end of Ottoman rule in the Hejaz, the west central coast of the Arabian Peninsula, home to the two holy cities of Islam, Mecca and Medina, as well as the port of Jiddah. Here, in late October 1916 the British intelligence officer T.E. Lawrence finally met Prince Faisal, the son of Sharif Hussein bin Ali, the feudal ruler of Mecca who rose up against the Turks in June of that year.
Hussein had declared himself "King of the Arab Countries," but as Lawrence already understood he would mostly be a figurehead for the Arab Revolt, which still needed a dynamic political and diplomatic leader. On meeting Hussein's third son at a walled compound at Wadi Safra, nestled in a valley full of palm groves, Lawrence decided he had found a true revolutionary statesman.
Lawrence later recalled their first meeting, introduced by one of Faisal's many retainers, in typically dramatic (not to say mystical) fashion:
He led me through a second gate into an inner court, and across it I saw standing framed between the posts of a black doorway, a white figure waiting tensely for me. This was Feisal, and I felt at the glance that now I had found the man whom I had come to Arabia to seek, the leader alone needed to make the Arab Revolt win through to success. He looked very tall and pillar-like, very slender, dressed in long white robes and a brown head cloth with a brilliant scarlet and gold cord… His hands were loosely crossed in front of him on his dagger.
Faisal would eventually prove a great leader, as Lawrence guessed – but for now the Arab Revolt was in its infancy, and the Turks felt they had little to fear from a disorganized band of Bedouin outlaws. Lawrence would have to do something to get their attention.

Headliners No. 17: The defection
Glenn McFarlane of the Herald Sun May 18, 2017 11:35AM
ANZAC Day: Adams meets Minogue Watch Taylor Adams take questions after meeting the grandson of former Magpie and Australian ANZAC Dan Minogue.
Headliners No. 18: The Healy-Adams clash
ANZAC Day: Adams meets Minogue
Collingwood is never far from the headlines.
As any decent news editor knows, if you can get the Magpies onto the front or back page, on the TV or as a lead online item, you'll get readers and viewers.
That results in a lot of Collingwood stories being overhyped. But there's also no denying that we've been involved in plenty of genuinely massive news stories down the years – from sackings, injuries and board coups to player revolts and internal squabbling.
So, to help mark Collingwood's 125th anniversary season, we're counting down the 25 biggest, most explosive news stories in Magpie history, as judged by historian Michael Roberts and the Herald Sun's Glenn McFarlane.
We've ignored Premierships and on-field results, and have instead concentrated on the other elements that have so often seen our club making headlines. It's a fascinating way to look back at our often colourful history.
Each of these stories will be published by Collingwood Media on #125Wednesdays, as part of our mid-week celebration of Collingwood's 125th Anniversary.
Headliners No. 17: The Minogue defection
Glenn McFarlane of the Herald Sun
It was meant to be the hero's return home complete with parties and street parades; it turned out to be one of the most contentious and bitter farewells in Collingwood's history.
Dan Minogue had been one of Collingwood's most inspirational players across 85 games in a career interrupted by his desire to serve his country in its time of need. Having proven himself one of the game's best followers, as well as the club's captain for three seasons, he was chaired from the field in his last game for the Magpies in 1916, just before sailing from Australia off to the war.
It was little wonder the club and its supporters followed his war story with interest, and it helped that he kept in regular correspondence with his teammates and friends throughout his years of service, with his letters often reproduced in various newspapers.
In one of his letters home, Minogue expressed his disappointment that he wasn't able to spend more time with his fellow Magpie soldiers at the front. He explained: "I am a good bit away from them, but I would give anything to meet them. Just fancy a man having the luck to meet 'Doc' Seddon, Jim Jackson, Walter Raleigh, Harry Matheson or Sam Mortimer. I believe I would get drunk. If we all get back for the 1918 season, we will have some team."
The war carried on until November 1918, so that option was never going to happen. But there was plenty of optimism in the suburb of Collingwood in the second half of the 1919 VFL season – with teams said to be playing for "the Peace Premiership" - with the Magpies eagerly awaiting the return of their former players following their military service.
Of all of them, Minogue was the most eagerly awaited in terms of his return. Even before he docked in Melbourne on the Barambah on July 26, 1919, plans were already afoot to honour him with a street parade along Smith St, as well as a 'Welcome Home' party for the club's former skipper.
LOU RICHARDS EXHIBITION: Learn about Louie the Lip's football story in the exhibition at the Holden Centre.
Those plans were quickly aborted when Minogue promptly announced he intended to join the Richmond Football Club. It was a football bombshell delivered in a time of peace, and the fallout gave birth to a bitter new rivalry between the neighbouring clubs.
Even now, almost a century on, the reasons behind Minogue's move are relatively clear, and varied. For a start, he wanted to coach, and Collingwood's coach Jock McHale seemed to have a hold on the position for many years ahead. He knew he wouldn't be able to coach the Magpies for some time to come. It was a fair assessment, given McHale would coach for another 30 years.
Minogue had also forged a strong relationship with Richmond's Hughie James during his war years and had been excited by the challenge of working with him at Punt Rd.
Another motivation centred on his displeasure with Collingwood over the club's treatment of his good friend Jim Sadler, particularly in overlooking him for the 1917 Grand Final, when Minogue was on the other side of the world at war.
Regardless of the reasons, Collingwood was furious with Minogue's defection. The club pledged to make him pay, and were reluctant themselves to do the same.
Dan Minogue was named one of the 125 Champions of Collingwood in May 2017.
They withheld Minogue's entitlements from the retirement fund. They were just as steadfast in their commitment to block his move to Richmond.
Loyalty was paramount at Victoria Park and McHale and the rest of the black and white officialdom resolved that if Minogue wasn't going to show loyalty, then the Magpies were going to try and make an example of him.
Famously, the club also turned his photo to the wall – and it stayed that way for decades.
Adding to the drama of that 1919 season, Richmond emerged as the team most likely to challenge Collingwood for the premiership. Minogue had been blocked from a clearance owing to the Magpies' intransigence and even still the Tigers beat Collingwood in an early final, highlighting just how competitive they had become. The two new rivals were scheduled to meet again in the Grand Final as emotion and enmity divided the teams and those supporters who barracked for them.
There were a number of local disturbances on the border of the two suburbs the night before the game, with local police brought in to keep the fragile peace. Those same tensions were on show again on the field the following day where, it was said, "fists were showing at various periods" in a match where the stakes were exceptionally high.
The Magpies ended up winning the match, and it came off the back of McHale's masterstroke of urging his team to continue to play attacking football when so many other coaches would have taken a more conservative approach.
The final margin was 25 points. The premiership was Collingwood's, and it seemed as if the club had taught the Tigers - and Minogue - a lesson about loyalty.
But that wasn't the end of the story. He would finally be granted a transfer to Richmond in 1920, and much to Collingwood's dismay, he would play a key role in helping the Tiger exact their revenge by beating the Magpies to that year's premiership.
Incredibly, it wouldn't be until the mid-1950s – after McHale's death – that Minogue would be seen again at Victoria Park, a sign that the cold war between the club and one of its former favourite sons had finally thawed a little.

Amber: 0:05
Welcome back to raising tech, a podcast about all things, technology and senior living. I'm your host, Amber Bardon. And today we have two guests. Our first guest is Brandon Buster from Lee insurance agency. And then we also have our chief technology officer Ryan Preuss from Parasol Alliance . Welcome to the show.
Ryan: 0:22
Hi, thanks.
Brandon: 0:23
Brandon, can you start us off with giving our listeners a little bit of an introduction about yourself? Tell us about your background, your role, and a little bit about Lee insurance agency.
Thanks Amber. So we are an independent insurance agency. We're privately owned. We're based in Iowa. We've worked in the senior living space for about 34 years and , we provide insurance and risk management solutions to our clients. So working with roughly 500 folks across the country in 20 states today, we feel like we have a good grasp on it. We partner strategically with our insurance carriers that have been in the space for a long time, and we truly want, you know, to find what's best for our clients from an insurance and risk management perspective. Me personally, I serve on our leadership team as a director of sales that really encompasses helping grow our organization organically, also looking at acquisition opportunities and in really leading , that charge as we look to continue to grow our organizational footprint.
Excellent. And our topic today is cybersecurity, which is a very hot topic right now. There's a lot of things going on in the space with insurance renewals and, you know, potential security, risk events and things like that. So it's also, we're gonna jump into today before we do that. Ryan Preuss, can you give our listeners and introduction about you?
Sure. Well, I'm, as Amber said , the chief technology officer I've been with Parasol Alliance for seven years actually have been working in the healthcare industry for close to 12 years now. So, and have over 20 years experience in it, supporting all things, servers, network and security related .
Excellent. So cyber security is a word we hear a lot, right. And it could be used in a lot of different contexts. It could be a buzzword, it can be a tactic to scare people. It can be , you know, used just in conversation, but what does cybersecurity actually mean? Can we define what that term really means and how does that apply to our clients? Ryan, do you wanna start?
Sure. I mean, you know, it's cybersecurity is definitely a far reaching topic, you know, in it's broadest sense. You know, you can break it down kind of , as the name implies that it's, you know , security or securing any kind of technology that you may have or come across with relation to senior living, it involves, you know, protecting your critical systems and services, compromise against data loss or theft, you know, and this generally involves all the normal things that you would hear about like, you know, antivirus software , um, web filtering, email filtering, backup , and disaster recovery, and, you know, patching, things like that, that, you know, all the normal stuff you'd expect to see in an it environment, but it goes a step further and also involves things like, you know, ensuring your community is compliant with regulatory standards like H IPAA, also things like, you know, educating your end users to make sure they're better equipped to identify and deal with, you know, potential threats before they actually become compromises.
Thanks for that explanation, Ryan and we actually started taking a look a closer look at cyber security because we noticed a trend starting about last year, about last fall, around this time that suddenly , uh, several of our clients were having their cyber security insurance denied, or they had to put in a lot of new requirements. And so this led our company to take a little bit of a deeper dive into what exactly were the new requirements and how do they affect our clients. So, Brandon , can you share a little bit on what happened in the industry from your side of things that caused the changes in the cyber security renewals?
Sure, absolutely. I'd love to. So it's probably several years ago when you know, cyber security that buzzword started really coming around, we'd start seeing compromise or, or hacks to some large financial institutions, large hospitals, insurance carriers decided, Hey, there really is a true risk and true exposure here. Let's create a product that we can go and offer folks, you know, to help them protect from that exposure. So you start with Lloyds of London. One of the largest insurance carriers in the world , uh, came out with a couple products and then before long, we would see a handful of carriers jumping into the industry. Didn't really know how to price it because there's no empirical data to show what claims would look like. Right? So when you price an insurance product, that's you look at the exposure actuarily and then you charge a premium that you believe is adequate for that exposure. You know, there were no deductibles, early on premium was super inexpensive. You had carriers coming in trying to buy folks' business by offering just insanely inexpensive premiums. And then over the last couple of years, we have seen just a , a ton of, claims. So you have claims frequency and claims severity are two things that will drive a rate, right? Frequency is number of claims. Severity is the damage per claim, right, or, or, or the economic or non-economic damages or the, the amount that a carrier would have to pay out on behalf of a client for damage is sustained. And so in the last couple of years, we've seen an kind of an exodus of folks just getting out of the industry, cares that, that spawned up and start offering, you know, monoline, cyber, reliability coverage, their , they got handed. They didn't have it priced accordingly. They didn't really understand their product. And so they left and exited the market. And those that remain standing today believe that they've priced it accordingly from day one. But now, as , as you mentioned, Amber, they are implementing additional requirements. So as an example, some carriers would only ask three or four questions on what's called a supplemental application to put coverage in place several years ago. Some of those carriers, supplemental questionnaires are two and three pages today. Some of the carriers are implementing penetration tests. They're working with third parties , such as yourself to do some of those tests to actually run an assessment. And they're requiring that assessment to be provided before they'll offer coverage or before they'll renew coverage. So MFA , uh, is, is a big kind of a buzzword acronym. I , in the space that cares are saying if we don't have proof of MFA being implemented, we will not offer coverage. In fact, we will non-renew , and we can't even price policy for it without, without MFA in place. And so those are some of the things we've seen the last couple of years and quite honestly, our insureds don't really, truly understand the impact. So they kind of look to us from an insurance perspective. And of course, look to folks such as yourself from a security standpoint. So I think it's imperative today as we work with our clients, helping them understand the true exposure and then giving them the tools and resources to put in place. So we can then offer them the right coverage at the best price to make sure that you know, that they're covering that exposure.
That's really interesting. I was actually really curious to kind of know some of that behind the scenes . So I was wondering, was the insurance agency reacting to a bunch of new claims and incidents, which you just indicated, or was it more like preparing for possible future risk? And it sounds like this was based on actual increase in claims and severity. Can you tell us anything about what those claims have come in at or what they were for?
Yeah. I actually have some claims scenarios as an example, some of the coverages that a cyber liability policy will protect is network security and privacy, privacy breach, response, business income, or loss of income. So if you can imagine your operating systems compromised, you can't bill, whether it's private bill, whether it's Medicare, Medicaid, if you can't bill to get your reimbursement that's revenue that you're losing while your system's down are compromised. And so those are some of the coverages that are provided multimedia insurance, extortion, terrorism, you know, as you guys know some of those buzz word buzzwords from your side, but as an example, you know, a network security and privacy breach, a financial institution's employee's laptop containing sensitive client data went missing. Multiple lawsuits are pending by individuals with data had been compromised. The Graham leach Bailey regulatory investigations ongoing as an example right now, total defense costs incurred 700 grand. Wow. Just, just because an employee lost his or her laptop that had sensitive data that required us to go out and hire a , a forensic auditor to, to try to dig in and understand where the breach happened, stopped the breach and put protection in place. You know, there's multimedia liability where an online manufacturer, accurately compared product to a competitive product. It was done online lawsuits ensued because it was done online. It was done from a website, was determined that it , it , it was a cyber security related cyber liability related offense , 375,000 for defense costs . Now, keep in mind. Most of the , the expense incurred is defending the policy holder or the insured from allegations or compromise that happen to their system. And on top of the defense cost would be that forensic auditing charge. And my understanding across the country, you're looking at three to $500 an hour for an forensic auditor to come in, you know and do their job to understand where the breach happened to do that analysis.
Wow. That's really interesting to hear those specific examples. I wanna dive into what specifically communities can do to protect themselves and what , sort of the high touch items that they should ensure they have. But I'm just curious, do you have any numbers about the like percentage of increase in claims over the last few years?
Brandon: 10:00
Yeah, I , I guess I don't have anything factual, but what we try to do internally is we look at our client base and help them understand, you know, what we're seeing. So we're seeing probably about a 40 to 50% increase in frequency. So that means almost double so to speak. So if we had 20 claim before now, we're looking at 30, right? So about a 40 to 50% increase in actual claim frequency. And then the severity is actually becoming a little bit more expensive because of that forensic auditing amount of time required for folks to dive in and dig in and understand where the penetration occurred . So both frequency and severity are increasing and that's really year over year . So we run that data internally looking at the prior year, you know, assessing our client base. So that's a relatively small sample size, but I do think because of the breadth of our client base across the country, I do believe it does give us an adequate sample size to help folks understand what they can expect going forward from an insurance premium standpoint, we've seen some premiums go up to and 300% primarily because folks weren't adequately protected from the security side by implementing, you know, MFA as an example, or some of those other security measures. And they didn't have, you know, an approved assessment done on their behalf to show some of that security and or vulnerabilities to their system.
Amber: 11:28
Yeah, that's definitely in line with what we've seen from our clients. And what we did is we took multiple different insurance questionnaires and we put them together and we developed a score sheet of all the items that we wanna make sure our clients have at least discussed or aware of, even if they can't execute in all those items. So, Ryan, can you talk a little bit more about that and what are we seeing are the top items that are required from a technology perspective?
Ryan: 11:50
Yeah, so there's, there's a number of aspects, you know, really the best, the best way to go about it is to make sure you're being proactive. You know, there's from a security standpoint, you know, I mentioned it before, but you, you know, you wanna make sure your end users are getting adequate training around cybersecurity. Also, you know, you want to do regular vulnerability, penetration testing, which scans, you know, not just your external networks, but your internal networks as well. And that will identify, you know, security vulnerabilities or potential entry points, weaknesses in your networks and servers, things that you can, you know, actively address and resolve before they become a compromise, you know, from a , a regulatory perspective, there's the yearly HIPAA security risk assessments. You know, you definitely wanna be doing those, and those will help you identify again, weaknesses , um, in line with the HIPAA regulations and allow you to plug those holes. And then, you know, kind of in line with the proactive approach, you know, you wanna make sure you're doing routine auditing of just your security in general. So you want to either partner with somebody who knows the, the ever changing landscape of cybersecurity, or even potentially reach out to your insurer and find out what their standards are, what questions they're gonna be asking when, you know, it's time to renew your policy, because those things are always changing. So that's something you want to be doing at least once a year, just to make sure that you're keeping up with the evolving, you know, landscape of cybersecurity.
That's really helpful. And definitely that proactive approach. And I think will help get communities set up to be prepared of the areas in which they may need to make some improvements. Can you speak to any of the specific technology that we've seen that we've had to implement such as the MFA and what is the impact of that?
Yeah. MFA is multifactor authentication. It allows technologies to kind of be more secure to technologies like VPN, you know, things that are, are generally targets for hackers, in a sense, it prevents the bad actor from, you know , easily gaining access because it requires a second form of authentication. Um, and that's, that's probably the most common, you know, the , one of the buzzwords you might hear more and more often, but , uh, there's other things out there like extra security around email, DNS entries, D mark , there's also security related things. Technology called S I E M , which looks for digital fingerprints or behaviors that would identify the elevated use of administrative rights on a network or on a server, you know, kind of, you know , newer technologies that really didn't exist five or 10 years ago that are allowing us a real high level overview of the, you know , technical environment in general and gives us , uh, early warning signs, if there's any kind of risk of compromise or signs of improper use of the administrative or technical systems.
I think another thing we've seen that's really important is that end user awareness training. You know, you can make the analogy that you can have all the security that you want, but if, you know, somebody clicks on a link in an email they're not supposed to, that could compromise the whole system. So Brandon, what are you seeing in terms of requirements for that type of awareness or training on the end user side?
So from a care perspective, I mean , it's really the good carriers. I say, like the carriers that really, I believe, know what they're doing. They have the right coverages in place. They pay claims. They don't try to deny claims. They're really looking for that MFA because as Ryan mentioned that does help break down. I guess the amount of penetration, maybe not the frequency of penetration, but actually get through because of, of the way that's structured , carriers are wanting and desiring to see an assessment so they can look at and understand the vulnerabilities and then determine does their policy cover those vulnerabilities? And then what plan of correction is the, the , policy holder, if you will, or the insured, what are they willing to do from a plan of correction standpoint to implement some of those technologies or some of those , uh, software as an example, to offset the vulnerabilities that are found through an assessment. So it's kind of a slippery slope because the insureds don't, as I mentioned before, don't truly understand the exposure in the senior living space today with, with COVID and some other barriers staffing, you know, finances are pretty tight. And so we're , we're trying to help them and protect them. But then when we show some exposure through an assessment or, you know, getting an assessment from folks like you, we show that, and then we say, okay, you're gonna have to spend X amount for hardware for software. So then we can go out and, and get an insurance policy for you . That's hopefully gonna save you a few thousand bucks versus the tens of thousands you may have to, you know, from a CapEx to put in. So it's , it's a delicate balance, but I think communication is the biggest. So for us as an insurance agency, to understand what the carriers want and desire, and then help the insureds, understand how it's going to best protect them in the long run to help them justify that potential expense of, of updating and adhering to the assessment. Because really once the assessment's done, they have two choices, they understand what the assessment says, then they have to either adhere to it and put certain things in place so we can best protect them or not. And then that will have an impact on the premium or the amount of carriers that are willing to, to offer a policy, knowing that there's a vulnerabilities that they're not able to, to adhere to. So it is kind of a , a mixed bag. There's, you know, there aren't a ton of things that the carriers are requiring, but again, they do wanna see that MFA in place. And that's almost all insurance carriers today. And then also they would like, and really value and appreciate seeing a thorough assessment to understand where the vulnerabilities are or that certain things are in place against those
Vulnerabilities. Yeah, that makes sense. So, Brandon , one of the things that we like to tell our clients is that when you're thinking about security, a lot of times it's a trade off between risk and convenience, right. And some of our clients do, they do choose to go with something that's maybe more convenient, but less secure. So, you know, even if they do everything right, you know, they could still get a cyber security event. Can you walk us through what would happen? Like what's kind of the high level step by step process of what happens if a cyber security event does occur?
Sure. Well, so one thing that we'll do is we'll ask to review any contracts that they have in place, whether they be vendor contracts, hospital contracts, anything in a contract that stipulates insurance related requirements or covenants of those contracts that they need to adhere to. And so when we review those, we're looking for things like, are you notification requirement, legal requirements? So inside those contracts, we'll see it. So as an example, if there is a notification requirement, then they need to know if there is a compromise, who are they required to notify and , and in what timely manner in fashion. So in , in healthcare, the senior living space, if there is a breach they're required to notify, you know, residents, residents, families, vendors that they're working with, whether it be pharmacy, food, service, therapy, obviously if they're working with a , a cybersecurity firm notifying them, but there are certain stringent notification requirements that they have to abide by. And as you are probably well aware, there's a cost to notification because of HIPAA. And because of the compliance from CMS that is placed upon these folks, there are certain requirements there from a notification standpoint. So system goes down, system's compromised. We want to be notified if , if we're working with them on , on liability. So then we can put the carrier on notice, help them understand we can reach out to partners that we have, or the carrier can reach out to make sure that we're getting the proper folks , uh, in place as quickly as possible to assess it. Cuz you guys may have heard of Chronos. There was a year-ish year plus and some change ago that is still having ramifications on some of our clients from an HR perspective, you know, in that business income. So it's then us seeing where's the compromise, what needs to take place today to mitigate any further penetration and then help them understand here are the next steps that have to take place to maintain and keep them up and running. So I know that's kind of a long winded Amber, I apologize, but it really is on a case by case basis. And based on the covenants of any contracts that they have, that we would then have a , a step approach. If this happens, here's how you respond. And we would recommend that they have that in their E.O.P or their emergency operating plan because they will, when , when survey comes in, states will go to that E.O.P and look and see, do have they done hazard assessments and what is their protocol, if and when a hazard were to arise, which also includes a potential cybersecurity breach.
Yeah. That's really helpful to walk through that process. And then Ryan on the technical side, what is the typical response or what are the action items that can be done if a breach or an incident does occur and also can data be recovered? Should they pay the ransom? Can you talk about some of those things?
The answer here really depends on what kind of, what kind of measures were in place prior, what kind of prevention was in place prior to that compromise? You know, obviously from an it standpoint, the first thing you want to do is isolate any systems that were compromised, you know, remove them from any shared network resources or, you know, prevent them from being able to communicate with any other computers to kind of stop the spread. So that's the first step is kind of triaging, you know, identifying and isolating the infected devices. And from there it's evaluate what was affected, you know, what data was affected, if any, and how was it affected? Did it get copied off? Did it get encrypted? You know, and, and then you start taking steps to, to remediate clean up the infection, restore the data. You know, if, if you're , you know , checking all the boxes, you should have a backup and disaster recovery system in place. In which case, you know , the disaster recovery system could just potentially take over when you isolate those affected systems and you could have very little or no downtime and the backup system you can use to restore those affected systems. And if, if all the systems are set up and in place and, and working correctly, you know, you'll definitely minimize the impact and the cost of recovering from something like that. But on the flip side, if you don't have those protections in place, it can be a very lengthy and costly process to recover. It could ultimately mean a lot of downtime and a lot of lost revenue.
So definitely prevention and awareness in that assessment front is really key. Absolutely . To minimizing the , the damage . Yeah . Yep . Well, Brandon Ryan, this information has been really helpful. I think this will be really useful to our listeners. Brandon, is there any final words of advice you'd wanna give before we wrap up? Yeah ,
Absolutely. Thank thanks for that. Cause I was gonna interject, but I wanted to let you finish. So just as I think through some of this, as I mentioned earlier, and I think you guys are aware , uh, a lot of facilities don't quite know and understand their vulnerability and their exposure, what I am seeing , uh, which is probably a Testament to what you guys are doing. That being Parasol and the industry is they're partnering with an it provider, a cyber security firm that's helping protect them. So one of the things I'm seeing is that a lot of folks believe that because they're partnering with the firm that they're protected and they don't necessarily need the cyber liability because it's extended through their contract. And so that's one of the contracts that I would review , uh, because there are what called first party coverages and third party coverages and not all policies offer both first and third party . So real quickly, a first party coverage is something that happens to you internally. A third party coverage is a breach that happens to your system through a third party access, whether it be a vendor. So let's say your partner with a pharmacy, you're doing electronic billing, the pharmacy's compromised. And then somehow through your connection with them, it penetrates your system. That is a third party coverage. And sometimes if third party coverage is , is deemed to be the culprit, an insurance carrier could deny claim because they're not offering third party coverage. And so it really is important to understand the difference between first party and third party . What is your it provider, if you're , if you're sourcing that or partnering with that, what are they covering on your behalf and what are you responsible for on your own independent of that contract? So I would just kind of close with that to help folks understand what they're contracting to entails. Are they getting a , a qualified assessment and make sure they're sharing that assessment with their insurance provider so they can get the best coverage for the best price , uh, as it pertains to cyber liability.
Yeah, that's really excellent advice. And would you say that for most companies out there in the world in general that a cyber incident is not a matter of if it's a matter when
Absolutely. And, and the kind of the crazy thing, statistically speaking, there are more cyber incidences in smaller organizations than larger because most of those smaller organizations have an invested financially into being secure, but they think that they're, they're not targeted, but they are again, that's just from what we see , when I look at claims, we're seeing more claims from smaller entities than we are the larger corporate entities. We just hear about the larger corporate entities, more on the news because they have an appearance of a larger impact.
Yeah, definitely. And that is something that we're starting to see that awareness with our own clients as well. I think for a long time, the industry maybe felt like they were immune or they were too small, but that's definitely changing. Ryan. Do you have any last words of advice you'd wanna give our listeners?
Well, sure. Yeah. From a technical standpoint, cybersecurity should really be a foundation, a major component of the it culture. You know, it's not something you want to just revisit once a year or think about after you've had a , a scare or an actual compromise. It should be part of every decision that's made from an it perspective and built into every process and system in your environment. Again, it goes back to that proactive component. You don't want to be reacting to cybersecurity cuz at that point it's too late. You want to be on top of things and you want to be proactive and, and be ahead of the game.
Yeah, that's, that's great. And that is something I tell our clients a lot along with, you know, the security versus the convenience, but that we wanna really view all technology decisions through this lens of security so that we're ensuring that that's built into the foundation of what we're doing. Well, Brandon and Ryan, thank you so much for joining us today. This was really insightful and great information.
Yeah .
Happy to be here

Effective time management is critical for construction projects, big and small. No construction project is without problems. However, there is a difference between a minor mishap that can be mitigated fairly quickly compared to a major incident that could cause a damaging setback. Owners, contractors, and subcontractors alike stand to lose in different ways when a project goes south. This two-part series will present five strategies for completing projects on time. Skip ahead to part two for more strategies.
We know that a new project is typically coupled with pressure and eagerness to get started, but who you hire matters. Seek out credible contractors, subcontractors, and vendors if you want a successful project. Select professionals who are experienced and capable of performing the type of project you are working on. Inquire about their references and credentials. They should possess the proper licensing, bonding, and insurance. Inquire about previous projects, budgets, and whether they were completed on time. It's also a good idea to look into how they handle disputes, but do not worry, our team of Brandon construction attorneys can help you with any dispute that may arise.
A project delivery method should be chosen before starting the project. Selecting the right method will make a difference in whether the project will stay on schedule or slowly derail. There are plenty of delivery systems to choose from including the design-build system, the construction management model, and the design-bid-build system. There are pros and cons to each such as accountability and the potential for miscommunication that should be taken into consideration when determining project timelines.
The materials you choose for your project is another big deal, especially when it comes to ordering them. Ordering at the wrong time can delay a project significantly. Delays can lead to delay claims which require the help of a skilled Brandon construction attorney to resolve. Do your homework in advance to get an idea of what materials could possibly have slow lead times so you can plan your project schedule accordingly. Things to consider when selecting materials include cost, durability, quality, availability, delivery timelines, and compatibility. You can even test some materials out ahead of time especially if you are using a new supplier. This will give you an opportunity to use alternatives should the need arise.

Domaine des Rebourgères — MFW Wine Co.
Located in Maisdon-sur-Sèvre just around the corner from Domaine de la Pépière, the affable Joël Bouvet is a new name to watch out for when it comes to delicious, honest renditions of Muscadet. Joël took over the 8ha estate of Domaine des Rebourgères in 2005 and immediately made the conversion to organic farming (now certified). Prior to this, Joël studied winemaking both in the States (in the Finger Lakes with Dr. Konstantin Frank) and in France in Alsace and with the legendary biodynamic Muscadet producer, Guy Bossard of Domaine de l'Ecu. Joël is farming some of the oldest vines in the region, many over 80 years old. Everything is hand harvested, fermentation is with native yeast, and all aging is carried out in old, traditional interred cement vats. Just like Joël, these are wines that might appear quiet or reserved at first, but with time, their complexity comes out, revealing a joyous and ebullient side.
