Dirty Snowman Society


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Dirty Snowman Society is back again with a new single, “Mad Bull.” After the successful release of their debut single “Taste of Heaven,” the band is continuing to impress with their latest rock anthem.

Starting off with intense instrumentals, “Mad Bull” is an energetic track matching its powerful lyrical content. The song’s politically critical lyrics are sure to make anyone pay attention to the band’s message. “Mad Bull” enthusiastically expresses the frustration many people have about the current political climate. It’s clear that Dirty Snowman Society is not afraid to speak out. Band member Chris Todoroff says, “Irreverently speak the truth — we all need to hear it.”

Dirty Snowman Society is made up of four members — Frank Costantini (vocals, drums, percussion), Jonnie Law (lead guitar), Patrick Linfante (bass), and Chris Todoroff (guitars, percussion) — who have come together from all walks of life to make music. Everything fell into place when the members realized they wanted to create the music they missed hearing, that classic rock sound that has faded from the mainstream in recent years.

You can listen to “Mad Bull” on all major platforms, including Spotify and Apple Music. Dirty Snowman Society also has several upcoming releases, including a music video for “Mad Bull” and a 5-track EP. Follow them on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook to stay updated.

The glue that holds them together is the desire to make the kind of classic hard rock that inspired them to become musicians. Follow Dirty Snowman Society on Facebook for more information.

“The webinar––hosted by Gaggle––will focus on the research behind understanding and responding to this growing crisis, what is causing these mental health issues in adolescents, and the ways two districts in Texas and Idaho have addressed these problems.”


BLOOMINGTON, Ill. (PRWEB)

Suicide is the leading cause of death among 10-19-year-old adolescents. This crisis is forcing school districts to become more proactive in monitoring student mental health in order to support and provide services for students in need. Education experts recommend that schools ensure the wellbeing of the “whole child,” often looking to curriculums focused on social emotional learning to teach students skills they can use to moderate and manage their own behavior, treat others with understanding, and develop persistence and resilience in the face of their personal challenges

On Thursday, October 10 at 6 p.m. EST, a panel of adolescent mental health and K-12 education and technology experts will present an informative, free webinar on “Addressing the Crisis in Adolescent Mental Health: How Districts Can Identify and Support Struggling Students.” The webinar – hosted by Gaggle – will focus on the research behind understanding and responding to this growing crisis, what is causing these mental health issues in adolescents, and the ways two districts in Texas and Idaho have addressed these problems.

K-12 Market Specialist and Writer Annie Galvin Teich will lead the webinar, guiding the discussion and ensuring valuable insights from all panelists – comprised of Dr. Lisa Strohman, Kathleen Tuck, and Dr. Melissa Williams-Scott, experts in adolescent mental health and K-12 education and technology. Dr. Lisa Strohman is a clinical psychologist, author, public speaker, and the founder and director of Digital Citizen Academy. Dr. Strohman established Digital Citizen Academy to proactively prevent and educate students, educators, and parents on the issues resulting from technology use and misuse. Kathleen Tuck oversees internal and external communications for the Nampa School District in Idaho, where she also serves as the community relations liaison. She has over 20 years of communications experience in both K-12 and higher education. Dr. Melissa Williams-Scott is a 25-year educator who now acts as executive director of information systems for the Dickinson Independent School District in Texas.

Gaggle has just released a new white paper highlighting research that explains the increase in students’ mental health crises. The paper is written to help school and district leaders create a framework for understanding the drivers in student wellbeing, to proactively address the increase in adolescent depression and suicide, and to expand services to support students in crisis. To read this timely white paper in its entirety, download here.

There is no cost to join the webinar, but registration is required. For more information go to: https://home.edweb.net/webinar/schoolsafety20191010/

Corvus Insurance Announces Data-Driven Expansion of Broad-Form Social Engineering and Cyber Crime Coverages

Leave a comment


News Image

“Social engineering is the leading way attackers infiltrate organizations today. To provide the best cyber insurance, we must constantly adapt coverage to meet the prevailing risk environment.”


BOSTON (PRWEB)

Corvus Insurance, the leading provider of AI-driven commercial insurance, today announces an update to its cyber underwriting model that rewards highly protected organizations with higher limits for Social Engineering and Cyber Crime coverage. Corvus’s Smart Cyber Insurance® coverage, already among the industry’s most comprehensive, will be automatically enhanced for policyholders who utilize email authentication services and have other email security characteristics, as identified by the Corvus Scan.

“Social engineering is the leading way attackers infiltrate organizations today. To provide the best cyber insurance, we must constantly adapt coverage to meet the prevailing risk environment.” says Phil Edmundson, Founder and CEO at Corvus.

Social Engineering and Cyber Crime coverage includes coverage for losses due to activity like phishing, spear phishing, and other forms of criminal deception, which often take place via email. “As methods and risks change, so must coverage,” says Mike Karbassi, Head of Cyber Underwriting. “The enhanced policy limits for Social Engineering and Cyber Crime helps our policyholders who are working to protect their businesses get greater assurance their risks are well managed.”

The Corvus Scan is a proprietary technology that assesses any organization’s cyber risk posture in minutes. The results of the scan drive Dynamic Loss Prevention®, Corvus’s program for helping brokers and policyholders better understand and mitigate risk, as well as driving the underwriting of Corvus’s Smart Cyber Insurance policies. With today’s update, the underwriting model will offer limits up to $1,000,000 to those organizations identified by the Corvus Scan as having taken the most effective steps to reduce the risk of a social engineering attack.

“Organizations of all types, from municipal governments to tech companies, are realizing that the social engineering problem is not going away, and the consequences of being hacked are increasing as digital technology becomes central to business operations, even in sectors that were slow to adopt it,” says Chris Hedenberg, Director of Data Science at Corvus. “The Corvus Scan can help those organizations get the credit they deserve for taking steps to prevent adverse events.”

The company notes that the update is an example of its approach to underwriting using data science techniques like machine learning to rapidly iterate its underwriting models. “Our machine learning tools are being deployed to deliver increasingly insightful underwriting decisions for our brokers and their clients. It’s important to note that accounts that score poorly in these defenses can be aided by our insights, as well. Together we can work to better manage and reduce the overall cost of risk.” said Corvus CEO Philip Edmundson.

About Corvus

Corvus Insurance is the leading provider of AI-driven commercial insurance. Corvus empowers brokers and policyholders to better predict and prevent complex risks with its data-driven tools and Smart Commercial Insurance® policies. With each policy, Corvus supplies its proprietary Dynamic Loss Prevention® reports, which inform policyholders of critical risk areas and provide actionable recommendations.

PSTA Releases Initial Industry and Public Safety Recommendations on Mapping

Leave a comment



FREMONT, Calif. (PRWEB)

Consistent with the purpose and mission of the PSTA, the PSTA Board of Directors is pleased to release the Mapping Technical Subcommittee report which includes the initial PSTA recommendations for public safety and industry.

The Mapping Subcommittee was established to review current mapping standards and trends in public safety mapping technology. Subcommittee members then identified gaps and overlapping or conflicting standards that may create potential problems for public safety agencies who are using mapping solutions to provide the framework for connecting, managing, and sharing IoT data between other technology systems, both internally within agencies, and externally to share information with other public safety stakeholders. This was followed by the development of a set of recommendations for a number of key public safety workflow areas surrounding existing open standards and industry specific standards that have been field-tested and adopted by a significant assemblage of organizations and vendors from across public safety industries. Where the desired criteria have not been met, recommendations are given regarding standards, explaining how subsequent implementation would solve a known interoperability challenge.

The Subcommittee’s recommendations are being made based on input and ongoing discussion among PSTA industry and public safety membership, and have been formulated leveraging this industry and public safety expertise as well as publicly available standards and related information.

“We definitely had robust conversations and have open collaboration between public safety agencies and industry on the PSTA Mapping Subcommittee, and have been working together to determine how agencies can best leverage open standards for real world responses like I see every day,” said Captain Kirk McKinzie, Consumnes (CA) Fire Department and Mapping Subcommittee member.

Additional input from public safety and industry are welcome on these and future recommendations.

Mike King, Esri’s Director of Emergency Communications Solutions and PSTA Board Member added, “Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have been used by fire departments, law enforcement EMS agencies for many years. The PSTA Mapping Subcommittee focused on those standards that best support public safety operations, and will help drive more open standard innovation in public safety applications that leverage mapping for emergency response.”

As PSTA considers additional, relevant information provided within the Mapping Subcommittee, it will update and release any changes to its recommendations as necessary. The current report version will be posted on the PSTA website (https://www.pstalliance.org/technical-committees/subcommittee-report-and-comment-form/) and will be open and accessible to the public.

If you are a member of a public safety agency/association, industry or academia and want to contribute to these important technical subcommittee discussions going forward, please visit https://www.pstalliance.org/how-to-join/ to join the PSTA and share your experience and knowledge.

About PSTA

The Public Safety Technology Alliance (PSTA), comprised of telecommunications industry, public safety, and technology leaders, is a nonprofit coalition with a mission to accelerate the conformance of technology that is both open and standards compliant to ensure public safety has a safe, secure and interoperable framework for the next generation of communications tools by guiding the implementation and testing of technical specifications requirements for applications, handsets, connected devices, cloud applications and storage that will be used by the first responder community.
