In everything we do, our careers, guidance to our children, and efforts to improve the world around us, success lies in the details.  It’s so crazy how drastic even the small details change – in such an amazing way.  In other words, “The devil is in the detail.” Accomplishing a successful project might seem simple at a first look but often it will take more time and effort to complete than expected.  Plan accordingly.

The burger chain is trying all sorts of peculiar things to change its image.

The Senate Intelligence Committee hearing was comment after comment Monday, February 13th about the capabilities (and risks) of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.  These tools present new capabilities, shorten decision cycles, and are game changing to our lives in this decade.  The first major security challenge that was brought up is IoT (Internet of Things).  You’ll learn so much more about this soon.

Active Shooter Training.  Schools must do this immediately.  Companies do it.  Schools do fire drills when there hasn’t been a significant school fire in 50 years.  There’s been 8 school shootings in 2018.
