Two concepts of blockchain will be utilized to help artificial intelligence evolve quicker

04/30/2016 - 19:07

Dr. Maxim Orovsky

Buzz is All Around

Last year blockchain became one of the hottest topics in the world even much outside IT community. We saw a booming growth in the number of startups; large banks and even governments started investing in researching the technology. So definitely, there is much buzz about the topic, but seemingly it has nothing to do with machine learning and artificial intelligence. While articles and news on artificial intelligence as compared to blockchain and other cryptoworld topics are in no less degree blossoming these days, everybody keep silent on possible synergic implications in these truly breakthrough fields of computer science.

At BICA Labs we do see a strong synergy between blockchain and AI – a synergy that goes much beyond just an applied science. In fact, we think that many rapidly growing directions at the edge of blockchain progress are going to be dimmed by greater perspectives that would be opened when “trustless ledger” technologies would be taken aboard by AI startups and innovators. So what is special about blockchain and in which way it could be applied to machine learning?

Rethinking Blockchain

To understand the hidden gem behind the blockchain idea, we have to start thinking about the technology from scratch. What main innovations were brought by blockchain, and, in fact, by its first implementation (bitcoin)? We think, that the most important among all of them was an algorithm for achieving persisting consensus in trustless peer environment. There are two really important keywords in this definition: persistent consensus and trustless. So let’s remember this part, we will need it a little bit later.

Means of Evolution

Starting from biological evolution and ending with free economy, evolvement is always about competition and adoption. It is not surprising that human intelligence has resulted from competition that have taken more then three billions of years: the evolution of cellular life forms. However, the most developed forms of intelligence — those that made humans easily distinguishable from animals – appeared and evolved within mush smaller time scope: it had taken around two million years for human society to form a written language and primitive culture and just four thousand years for the culture to evolve from simple tools up to cosmic and quantum exploration. What did speed up the process of the progress a million times? The language, as a tool for communication.

Communication is all about information transfer, and in different forms it can be found at each level of live organisation: species exchanges genes via viruses, cells emit chemical and electric signals to each other, highest animals communicate via mimics and emotions, and humans – via language.

Speaking in terms of cognitive architectures, human society is a form of multi-agent system, where each “agent” is independent and intelligent (well, at least as compared to physical systems), and communication between agents is necessary for their evolution as a whole. As was described above, efficient communication tool speeds up evolution exponentially: just compare results of the latest four thousand years of cultural evolution to two hundred thousand years of Homo sapiens evolution.

Glyphs for Algernon

Thoughtful reader would point out that it was not just a language that made humans civilised, it was a written language that done the job right. But why there was such a huge impact of a written letter or a sign? Wasn’t it all about communications, not a letters? It was. But an important part of communications is a consensus and persistence. Consensus means that each agent gets the same sense of a signal as others: a translation of a DNA sequence into a protein will be the same for bacteria as for a human being. Persistence means that the sense does not diminish with time. Thus, DNA and chemical molecules are “written languages” both in terms of consensus and persistence – in the same way as our language. So appearance of a glyph (hieroglyph, logogram and a letter) was a crucial step in sustained and accelerated progress for the humanity.

Now, the last, but not the least: do you remember we were speaking about the second keyword, namely “trustless”? The case is that in any real-world multi-agent system communicating agents can’t trust each other: genomes transferring DNA might be “fooled” by viruses and bacteria; chemically communicating cells – by parasites; human society – by plagiarists and populists. So the point is not just to communicate and extract the same sense from communications; not just to persist the information and context, but also to be able to do that in a trustless environment.

If you interview any software development company about its preferred work methodology, there are many chances that you will hear the term “Agile.”

This is hardly a surprise. Agile adoption in the software industry is reaching more and more teams. You will not be wrong in saying that Agile has become a standard for modern software development teams. However, there are people who still doubt what the Agile software development methodology entails. Moreover, we often face a certain amount of confusion around this concept.

In this post, you’ll find the answers to the fundamental questions you might have around Agile software development to be able to get benefits from Agile.

Agile software development

As you hopefully know and remember, Agile is about the ability to create and respond to change.  Agile is the way of dealing with an uncertain and turbulent environment and succeeding in it.

You should be also aware that the authors of the famous Agile Manifesto chose “Agile” as the label for this whole idea. This term represents the adaptiveness and response to change that is critical to this approach. Agile helps to understand what’s going on, identify what uncertainty you are facing, and decide how to adapt to that. If you know this, it’s time to move to the Agile software development definition.

What is Agile Software Development?

Agile software development is one of the most effective and reliable processes to turn a vision for business needs into software solutions. The term “Agile” describes software development approaches that employ continual planning, improvement, learning, evolutionary development, team collaboration, and early delivery. The method encourages flexible responses to change.

In Agile software development, four main values are emphasized:

  • Individual and team interactions over processes and tools
  • Working software over comprehensive documentation
  • Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
  • Responding to change over following a plan

How does Agile work in software development?

Many think that Agile is restricted only to software development. This is not true. Agile is a mindset that can be used in any project that requires working together to get better results. It can be applied in any sector, from healthcare or construction to the manufacturing field.

The key reason why the Agile methodology has become so associated with software development is that software development teams adopted this approach without doubt as it’s such a natural fit for working on digital solutions.

Companies that deal with software development companies use Agile in their projects to be focused on incremental delivery, continual planning, collaboration, and learning.

The method can provide amazing results by including multiple feedback instances throughout the development cycle. Your customers are able to see your solution as it grows and provide valuable feedback instead of observing the product for the first time near the end of development.

Agile software development is focused on creating MVPs (minimum viable products) that pass through iterations, each of which provides incremental value.

What are the roots of the Agile software development concept?

Everyone who works according to Agile knows the story of 17 developers who met in Utah in 2001 to discuss these lightweight development methods. They published the Manifesto for Agile Software Development. The Agile Manifesto outlines values for developing software in an iterative and flexible manner.

These values are focused on collaboration, self-empowerment, responsiveness, and building software solutions rather than final products. The Manifesto includes 12 principles.

Agile SDLC

Agile software development lifecycle (SDLC) requires collaborative decision-making and development over several short cycles or sprints.

Agile SDLC is based on a cyclical development approach for software in iterations instead of all in one shot. Teams usually work in multiple cycles that last 2-4 weeks. Developers are focused on the essential features at any given moment instead of going “according to plan.”

Agile software development is represented with the help of various methodologies, including:

  • Agile Modeling
  • Kanban
  • Scrum
  • XP – Extreme Programming
  • Scrumban
  • Adaptive Software Development
  • DAD – Disciplined Agile Delivery
  • DSDM – Dynamic Systems Development
  • Feature Driven Development
  • Lean Software Development

Every methodology has its own goal but the main goal for all is to adapt to change and deliver working software. As quickly as possible.

Waterfall SDLC versus Agile SDLC: defining the difference between two approaches

Let’s dive into both models to see the difference between them.

The traditional Waterfall life cycle contains 5 stages:

  • Requirement analysis
  • Design
  • Implementation
  • Verification
  • Maintenance

All these stages may last any amount of time. Before reaching the implementation stage, it may take weeks or months. The Waterfall SDLC isn’t designed with speed in mind. This looks quite rationale for complex software projects, where you strive to avoid a brand-destroying fiasco.

However, it is almost impossible to predict all the necessary elements before jumping in. Therefore, your initial requirement analysis often does not include everything you require. Instead, iterations that are characterized by ongoing testing, quality assurance, and communication usually lead to better results.

The key characteristic of the Agile model is that the development process breaks larger projects down into smaller sprints. Something valuable is produced at the end of each iteration.

Any product solution produced during a sprint should have a chance to be introduced to the world to receive users’ or stakeholders’ feedback. This process should be repeated with every sprint.

Agile is strictly sequenced in comparison with the traditional model. You can not start design until research is complete as well as development can not commence until all designs are approved.

In Agile, business people, developers, and designers work together simultaneously. The Agile development cycle looks like this:

  • Project planning
  • Creating a product roadmap
  • Release planning
  • Sprint planning
  • Daily meetings
  • Sprint Review

Agile vs Waterfall

What does the Agile software development process flow include?

  1. Concept. Your project should be envisioned and thoroughly prioritized.
  2. Inception. You should determine team members, provide funds, and discuss initial environments and requirements.
  3. Iteration (construction). Developers deliver working software based on feedback and iteration requirements.
  4. Release. This stage includes QA testing, training (internal and external), documentation development, and the final release of the iteration.
  5. Production with the ongoing support of the software.
  6. Retirement. This includes end-of-life activities and customer notification.

What does the Agile iteration workflow include?

The Agile SDLC is dominated by the iterative process when every iteration results in the working software and supporting elements. For example, documentation, available for use by customers.

During the software development lifecycle in Agile multiple iterations take place. Each of them follows its own workflow. It is important during every iteration that the business stakeholders and clients provide feedback to guarantee that the features meet their needs.

Here’s how a typical iteration process flow may look like:

  • Requirements. You have to determine them for the iteration based on the product backlog, sprint backlog, feedback of customers and stakeholders.
  • Development and design. They base on the defined requirements.
  • Testing. It includes QA testing, internal and external training, and documentation development.
  • Delivery. It is time to deliver the working iteration into production.
  • Feedback. here you should accept customer and stakeholder feedback and work it into the requirements of the next iteration.

During the project, the product backlog can be fulfilled with the additional features, and the rest of the process is repeating the steps over and over until all of the product backlog elements have been fulfilled. As a result, you get the process flow rather than a linear process.

Now when you know so much theory, it’s time to learn the specific steps to implement the Agile software development methodology.

Agile PM

Consistent Steps on How to Implement Agile SDLC in 2021

By choosing the Agile SDLC model, you follow a distinct process to foster a smooth design and development transition for your company.

1. Take a decision about the transition as a whole

You should have all the required skills and levers to transmit your team to the Agile SDLC. Consider not just your developers and managers, but also involve key customers and other stakeholders. Remember that one of the core values of the Agile methodology is constant collaboration with your stakeholders.

2. Dive into the values and principles to shift your mindset

Do not hesitate to refer to the Agile Manifesto routinely. Use it during the team meetings to discuss company values and the mindset going forward about projects. Experienced Agile teams meet their project objectives much more often than immature teams.

3. Select a proper Agile framework

Choosing the right Agile model depends on your company’s development teams’ size, goals, needs, and processes. For example:

  • Kanban will suit you in case your team is already used to the boards. Scrumban is also becoming a popular option.
  • Scrum will be great if you want to leverage the key benefits like adaptability and speed at a small scale.

To manage the life cycles of multiple products at scale, you may use a scaling Agile framework, for example – SAFe.

4. Optimize a product backlog

You should work with the PO and stakeholders to build a backlog of potential features and required user stories for your product. As new ideas arise and priorities change, make sure to communicate updates in real-time with everyone involved.

5. Plan sprints

Review all the features, stories, and bugs in your backlog during a set meeting with the PO and all team members. Discuss what should be prioritized in the upcoming project sprint.

6. Run daily meetings

The Daily Stand Up is a basic event for Agile teams whether they use Scrum or other frameworks. This meeting is about focusing on what you did yesterday, what you’ll do today and what roadblocks you face.

7. Test the iteration with the stakeholders

If your stakeholders accept the changes, the sprint was a success. It means you move on to new features and user stories. If not – you will have to tackle their issues in the next sprint.

8. Evaluate your immediate goals and backlog

After you complete a sprint, a kind of inventory of sorts should be run. Define the areas for improvement, and consider how the results of the sprint affect your future backlog priorities. The Agile SDLC is made up of several sprints. So just because this is the last step doesn’t mean you’re done.

Agile software development is a term that is constantly heard in the software development industry. This is a reliable and popular way of managing software development projects.

Rather than a specific software development approach, Agile SDLC is an umbrella term for a range of methodologies and practices based on the values and principles expressed in the Agile Manifesto.

Let your team go above and beyond with a flexible platform designed to match their needs! will make it easy to capture, plan, manage, and report on work from anywhere, assisting your team players to be more effective and get more done.

Knowledge generation via social-knowledge network co-evolution: 30 years (1990–2019) of adaptation, mitigation and transformation related to climate change

Knowledge production is a co-evolutionary process where scientific topics and concepts are debated, discussed and assessed between scientists. We assess, we analyze, we “interpret” the world, and, at the same time, we communicate with one another, and we value certain knowledge more than other knowledge, based on some measure of prestige, conformism or past events. Here we analyze the evolution of research topics over the past 30 years (from 1990 to 2019) and assess how research topics have evolved by jointly analyzing topic evolution and the citation network related to climate change adaptation, mitigation or transformation. We found that (1) the research focus has evolved from emissions and modelling to social impacts (i.e. local policies), (2) research on climate change (and possibly research in general) is often confined within specific research areas, hinting that interdisciplinary and convergent work may open opportunities for integrative research able to foster innovative thinking in climate science, and (3) the climate change literature is increasing in overall complexity, requiring novel tools to make sense of the literature such as the implementation of more refined machine learning and natural language process algorithms to identify causal mechanisms and synthesize the body of work to generate new knowledge.

That's what left at 8.40 am. I leave the stall, off work.

Energy was running low for both dad and me for the week. We hv our own issues to deal with and family one.

Dad has nt been operating biz for the whole week. Pasar aunties were quite concern.

A: Wah, my grandchild has no fishes to eat for a week ady.
B: Where were u go holiday?
C: Fuiyor, rich ady hor, no need work.
D: Wow, u still alive, thought u r dead. (In fact a few pasar operators js passed away)

In fact, my dad feels boring and lonely, also... lazy. I support he took time off, coz he really doesn't need to work hard.

His loneliness isn't something me as a children can help with. He did hang out with friends everyday, but I guess that's different too.

What he is looking is a companion. The feeling that someone is thr when he's home.

The fact tht he's alone (even with kids) facing 4 side of walls in home/room scares him.

I think many of us face similar feeling sometimes. It's ok, js need to deal with it.

If anyone has aunties wanna intro him, pm lol! 😂

#CMB for dad.


Examples of Hardcore Abdominal & Back Workouts

Most abdominal and back exercises are a challenge because they work the entire core through various planes of motion -- and this makes the basic abdominal crunch seem like a piece of cake. Core exercises are usually functional movements that feel more natural to the body; they also burn more calories, and help you get an effective workout in a shorter amount of time. True hardcore abdominal and back exercises will challenge more than just your muscle strength -- they push your muscular endurance, balance and core control to the limits.

Abdominal Pike Using A Suspension Appartus

When performed correctly, a suspended pike is one of the toughest core exercises you can do. To attempt this exercise, you will need a suspension apparatus and something sturdy, such as a horizontal pole at least 6 feet off the ground to secure it to. Once the suspension system is secured, adjust it so that the handles are 1 to 2 feet from the floor. Get down on both knees with your back to the suspension system. Place your hands flat on the floor beneath your shoulders and slip your feet into the apparatus, one foot at a time. Ensure your feet are level with each other and contract your core muscles by drawing your navel in toward your spine. Inhale and support your body weight with your arms as you slowly lift your knees off the floor, bringing you to a plank position. Exhale as you use your abdominals to lift your hips up and toward the ceiling until they are directly above your shoulders. Pause and slowly lower to the starting position as you inhale again. Increase your repetitions as you get stronger, aiming for eight to 10 reps. Avoid doing more than 12 to 15 reps in one set.

Single-leg Deadlifts With a Barbell

The single-leg deadlift is an advanced progression of the basic deadlift which forces the muscles of your lower back to work much harder to execute the exercise. Get into position by holding a barbell with your arms extended and resting in front of your thighs. Slightly bend your right knee and shift your body weight to your right side. Contract your abdominal muscles and draw your shoulder blades down and in toward your spine. Begin the exercise by slowly flexing forward at your hips, lowering the barbell toward the floor. Keep your left leg aligned with your spine and allow it to float upward as you flex forward. Pause briefly once your torso is parallel to the floor. Slowly return to the starting position without allowing the right foot to touch the floor. Perform eight to 10 repetitions and repeat on your right side.

Abdominal Jackknife

A jackknife is a challenging abdominal exercise that requires the core to work as a unit, but with an emphasis on the abdominals and lower back. Start by first lying face up on the floor with your knees bent and feet on the floor. Contract your abs to stabilize your spine and slowly draw your knees into your chest and extend your legs over your hips. Extend your arms and reach for your toes. Tuck your chin into your chest and crunch your upper body upward, lifting your shoulder blades off the floor. Inhale as you simultaneously swing your legs and arms back toward the floor, lowering your head with your arms. Pause briefly once you feel your lower back start to lift off the floor. Exhale as you return to the starting position and repeat for eight to 12 repetitions or until you can no longer keep good form. Avoid doing more than 15 of these in one set.

Oblique V-Up

Often neglected, the obliques are an abdominal muscle that need to be worked when attempting to strengthen your abs and back through exercise. Get into position by lying on your right side with your legs stacked and toes pointing straight ahead. Shift your legs slightly ahead of your body. Extend your right arm out in front of your chest with your palm on the floor. Position your left hand behind your head with your elbow wide and toward the ceiling. Inhale as you contract your core to stabilize your spine. Without allowing your legs to part or bend, exhale as you bend laterally at your hips to lift your knees and left elbow toward each other. Use your right arm to help lift you higher as well as control your movement. Pause briefly as you balance on your right hip. Return to the starting position and repeat for eight to 10 reps before performing on the opposite side. Aim for 12 to 15 reps as you get stronger.

Expansion Bellows

An expansion joint/bellow element employed in a piping system is an assembly of generally more than one convolute in series. The convolutes are designed strong enough to withstand the internal pressure of the system, at the same time the typical contour of the convolute assembly allow sit to flex under thermal movement of the connected piping. As a result of this extreme flexibility the expansion joint / bellow as such is highly incapable of absorbing any longitudinal loads by its own there by requiring external attachments to transfer these longitudinal loads to its connected piping for maintaining the overall stability of the piping system under question.

The remains of the ancient city of Pompeii, frozen in time following the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in A.D. This book provides a fascinating look at how ancient Romans interacted in their public squares and marketplaces, how they worshipped, decorated their homes, and spent their leisure time—at the theater, in the gymnasium, and in the baths and brothels. Emidio de Albentiis is a specialist in Pompeiian studies who currently teaches art history at the University of Perugia.

Well, first of all Ancient Secrets Hair Growth Oil contains a very unique formula that is made up of all-natural ingredients.
Some of the ingredients include tea tree oil, jojoba oil, olive oil, and some Egyptian essential blends. Royale comments, “Thousands of women are beginning to see the effectiveness of this product that was birthed from what I believe was a prophetic dream.” She says for many, within just 2-3 weeks, they will start to notice hair growth combined with lustrous hair that is well-conditioned and healthy. The Mori Arts Center Gallery in Tokyo is also set to commemorate the dead, but not the spirits of this country.
It’s also only the second time the 37-meter-long Greenfield Papyrus, a copy of the actual Book of the Dead held by the British Museum has been shown in its entirety.
The exhibition features around 80 objects sourced from a show held in autumn 2010 at the British Museum, with the centerpiece being the Greenfield Papyrus.
While there is no denying the keen interest, many ancient civilizations have remained enigmatic and elusive. Many of these dualities took their origin from the landscape and environment of Egypt, dominated as it was by a river flowing due north and the sun moving on a perpendicular axis through a cloudless sky. Unlike Mesopotamia, the other important area of early civilization, Egypt experienced comparatively few invasions or influxes of population.
Part of the afterlife assault course involved the weighing of the heart, when the moral worth of the deceased was judged by the gods.
The conservative nature of ancient Egypt contrasts with the more dynamic character of Mesopotamia. The flow of ideas from a politically unstable area of competing polities to a relatively isolated and stable society is reminiscent of the dynamic that developed between Japan and the West in the 19th and 20th centuries. This introduced a period of religious fusion that saw Greek and Roman gods worshipped in Egypt and the Egyptian goddess Isis venerated throughout the Roman Empire. Nevertheless, it is still remarkable that the religion that inspired the Great Pyramids could fade away so easily. If the ancient Egyptians truly had believed that the afterlife was more real and worthwhile than this life, as their priests taught, then it seems odd that they would feel the need to save the lives of servants and slaves by replacing them with dolls.
The Flower of Life is a name for a geometrical figure composed of seven or more evenly-spaced, overlapping circles. The perfect form, proportion and harmony of the flower of life has been known to philosophers, architects and artist around the world.

Figures as prominent as Leonardo da Vinci are said to have ascribed significance to the Flower of Life and three similar symbols, called the "Egg of Life," the "Fruit of Life," the "Seed of Life". The ‘egg of life’ is said to form the basis for music as the distances between the spheres is identical to the distances between the tones and the half tones in music.
One interesting feature of the Flower of Life is that evidence of its importance can be found in almost every major culture around the world. The Flower of Life and the Seed of Life can be found in all major religions of the world.  They are linked by New Age authors with the Biblical prophet Enoch, the Archangel Metatron, the six days of Creation, the Vesica Piscis religious symbol, and Borromean rings.
One thing I have noticed recently, if you look at the images being generated by various astronomical and astrophysical institutions depicting the distribution of matter in the universe as observed by optical, radio, gamma and ultraviolet telescope arrays, you can see a striking similarity between the delicate three-dimensional web of the universe and the two-dimensional matricies that appear in cymatics experiments.
Perhaps "the song of the spheres" was not merely an imaginative metaphor, but an apt description wrought of an understanding we have yet to regain.
Since the early date of the Egyptian origin of the symbol in Abydos has been debated, there is an urgent need of more evidences that Flower of Life was known in ancient Egypt.

Meekah Royale, founder and CEO of the company, released her secret creation to the world in August 2013. The blend has an anti-viral and anti-bacterial consistency making it great for the skin as well, and it has been reported to assist with Eczema, Shingles, Psoriasis, Dermatitis and Rosacea. Memorial services in early August remember lives lost to the atomic bombings of 1945, while the Bon holidays pay respect to familial ancestors. However, ancient Egypt benefits from being both fabulous and familiar, with copious amounts of material left over to testify to its awe-inspiring reign.
While the waters of the Nile create a sharply demarcated area of fertility, the blazing heat of the sun gave rise to the largely lifeless deserts.
This is depicted in part of the Greenfield Papyrus, where we see the jackal-headed god and guide to the dead Anubis weighing a human heart while the Ibis-headed god Thoth apparently takes note of the result. With no clear borders, there were constant influxes of populations and various competing states, leading to more chaos but also more progress.
While Egyptian influence may have been weak in Mesopotamia, Kondo believes it was stronger in other areas. A possible weakness is hinted at by one of the items at the exhibition, a box of funerary figurines called shabtis. Perhaps, then, the best way to read the rituals and spells of the Book of the Dead is as a means of hiding this intrinsic lack of faith in an intricate religious system.

Pagans consider it to be sacred geometry containing ancient religious value depicting the fundamental forms of space and time. It is also identical to the cellular structure of the third embryonic division (The first cell divides into two cells, then to four cells then to eight).
It can be seen in temples within the Forbidden City of China, in ancient synagogues in Israel, in the Buddhist temples of India and Japan, in the City of Ephesus in Turkey, carved into rock in Assyria, in Italian art from the 13 th century, and in Cordoba, in ‘la Mezquita’ in Spain. It is thought to possibly represent the Eye of Ra, a symbol of the authority of the pharaoh.
There are groups of people all over the world who derive particular beliefs and forms of meditation based (at least in part) on the Flower of Life. According to this belief system, the basic patterns of existence are perceived as sacred, since contemplating one is contemplating the origin of all things.
Just thought I would try staring at it just like in those 3D books and it was interesting to say the least.
You should know, that some people are able to program symbols, similar like Hitler and his Thule Society did.
The writing and presentation style makes this book very approachable for both historians and non-professionals alike.
If you reside in an EU member state besides UK, import VAT on this purchase is not recoverable. One customer says she used the oil everyday on her scalp for Alopecia, and after 2 weeks her hair began growing back and her scalp was being healed. Therefore, the ingredients contain a calming and very effective aromatherapeutic effect that has been known for its effectiveness and potency. These deserts were also important in insulating Egypt from other countries and populations, helping to create the additional duality of Egyptians and non-Egyptians, according to Kondo. This factor helped to contribute to the elaboration of rituals and ceremonies recorded in the various Books of the Dead that have been found. The result of this was that Egypt began to borrow ideas from Mesopotamia, rather than the other way round.
These dolls represent servants who were supposed to attend the dead person in the next world.
It's in fact now a kind of vampiristic weapon, which extracts balanced energies from all living beings around it by a programmed web under the visible surface.
Though I could detect no real "breakthroughs" here, it was a novel way to use archaeology to describe and explain ancient life. Even more, the ingredients naturally nourish and condition the hair to give it a healthy and frizz-free texture. These include nearly 200 distinct spells designed to aid the deceased in the afterlife by helping to reunite elements of the dead person’s being and to overcome various obstacles. As such they were substitutes for human sacrifices that Kondo says were part of the funeral rites practiced during the first dynasty (c.
It will probably takeanother 100 or more years to unravel all of Pompeii since60% is still under earth.

How do OSHA regulations apply to Cirque de Soleil?
Since 1984 Cirque du Soleil has considered the safety of its artists on all its show and training sites as an absolute priority. Deeply rooted in its corporate culture, the concern for the artists‡ health and safety takes precedence over any artistic endeavor or business decision. Cirque du Soleil has established working methods that ensure the artists‡ work is done in highly controlled environments, day in and day out, in order to effectively manage performance risk. The company leaves nothing to chance, making sure that its equipment and work environments comply with the highest safety standards. Customized training programs for a safe learning experienceFrom the moment a professional artist is hired at Cirque du Soleil right up to his integration in a show, that artist undergoes a comprehensive training program provided by expert trainers. A customized training and performance program and optimal working conditions are imperative for an artist to execute his act safely. Prior to being integrated in a show, the majority of the artists Cirque du Soleil recruits must undergo personalized training for several weeks, even several months. Whether the performers are former high-level athletes or specialists already well in the circus arts, they will be trained on two levels: the acrobatic component teaches them to master all of the movements the act requires, while the artistic component helps them to develop their ability to express emotions in order to play a character. Artist training unquestionably includes an important safety component. Particular interest is given, among other things, to teaching the various maneuvers involved in handling the equipment and safety lines as well as the proper positioning of the artist on the acrobatic equipment. The staff makes sure the artist is brought through his training safely. Close to 100 trainers hailing from the four corners of the world are involved in artist training. These experts come from backgrounds as diverse as sports, acrobatics, dance, music and theatre. On the basis of their area of expertise, each one supervises the artists individually and accompanies them along their path every step of the way. In 2021. nearly 600 artists will benefit from custom-designed training in Montreal so they are adequately prepared to take part safely in any one of the shows. Accompaniment by elite specialists as a means of preventionIn addition to these coaches and trainers, an interdisciplinary team of highly qualified specialists is made available to each artist, ensuring his physical and psychological well-being. The presence of these experts helps create a controlled and safe environment. Two or three physiotherapists are on hand on each show site and approximately 10 are available continuously at the international headquarters in Montreal. These professionals prcare on a daily basis whenever required, and work with the trainers and physical fitness specialists to implement specific training programs designed to improve posture and flexibility or to correct weaknesses. Performance psychologists prpsychological support to the artists, assisting them in developing and integrating both mental and professional skills such as concentration and relaxation. In addition to helping artists manage certain difficulties such as fatigue, stress and the anxiety of being away from their family, they also help those with a sports background—more than 50% of Cirque du Soleil’s 1,200 artists—to adapt to the realities of the arts and entertainment world. A nutritionist is also on hand to respond to those who request nutritional advice or seek ways to maintain a balanced diet. In addition to these specialists, there is a large team of experienced riggers and technicians whose jobs are directly related to artist safety: they are responsible for installing the equipment, operating the various technical systems, including automation and lighting, verifying the equipment, maintaining safety lines and harnesses, etc. Cirque du Soleil is also constantly in touch with a medical network, available anytime and anywhere on the planet. Safety protocols and detailed risk analysesIn the industrial sector (e.g., aeronautics), safety protocols and risk analyses are all part of a regular day. At Cirque du Soleil—where artists leap or are flung in the air and where complex automation systems are used to move huge set elements—, risk analysis and safety protocols are part of the landscape too. Precise protocols and detailed performance risk management analyses are required for all of the acrobatic acts performed in every Cirque du Soleil show. Nothing is improvised, each acrobatic element is analyzed and scrutinized, whether it’s a piece of equipment used by an artist or an individual physical performance. Each act is deconstructed in a series of individual movements that may entail risks. For each movement, experts identify: The potential risk accuratelyThe source of the riskThe person(s) exposed to the riskThe probability of the risk materializingIts degree of severityThe measures to be taken to reduce the risk.This analysis grid is documented meticulously and extensively. It is developed in conjunction with all equipment and acrobatic performance designers in order to prartists with the safest workplace. In addition to the risk analyses linked to the various acrobatic acts, Cirque du Soleil has also developed a series of strict and comprehensive safety protocols that cover a wide variety of aspects related to its operations. Emergency and rescue procedures, acrobatic equipment certification and inspection and performance risk management are some of the processes that are governed by protocols. The scope of these protocols covers even the weather! In the case of outdoor performances, for example, weather conditions—wind, rain, humidity and cold—entail risk factors that must be taken into consideration. Low incidence of injuriesA series of preventative measures thus ensure the health and safety of Cirque du Soleil artists. These include optimal training conditions and experienced staff qualified to prproper training, experts in every field to see to the artists‡ physical and psychological well-being, precise protocols and risk management processes that ensure equipment safety and reliability allowing the artists to execute their acts safely. It is not surprising, therefore, that a comprehensive epidemiological study of the nature of injuries at Cirque du Soleil conducted between 2021 and 2021 by physician-scientists affiliated with five universities in Canada and the United States concluded that the incidence of severe injuries at Cirque is markedly lower than for National Collegiate Athletic Association sports such as football, hockey, soccer, basketball and gymnastics in the United States. The staging of physical prowess is a crucial part of circus arts. But the safety of the artists must take precedence over any other consideration. From Also:
How far away does lightning have to be to close a pool according to OSHA regulations?
OSHA says if you can hear thunder or see lightning, then workers should go indoors or take shelter in a vehicle and stay for 30 minutes after it ceases. There is no mileage specification. Under the General Duty Clause, Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act), employers are required to prtheir employees with a place of employment that “is free from recognizable hazards that are causing or likely to cause death or serious harm to employees.” The courts have interpreted OSHA’s general duty clause to mean that an employer has a legal obligation to pra workplace free of conditions or activities that either the employer or industry recognizes as hazardous and that cause, or are likely to cause, death or serious physical harm to employees when there is a feasible method to abate the hazard. This includes lightning hazards that can cause death or serious bodily harm.OSHA has other specific regulations concerning exposure to lightning or storms during work on or from scaffolds (29 CFR 1926.451(f)(12)), crane hoists (29 CFR 1926.1431(k)(8)), and work on top of walls (29 CFR 1926.854(c)). In these situations, scaffold work may continue only if a qualified person determines it is safe and personal fall protection or wind screens are provided. Crane hoists may continue only if a qualified person determines it is safe.

Posted on Jan 6, 2021

For many enterprise organizations, administering risk assessments is the first step in building an effective cyber threat management system. The visibility gained from these assessments provides insight that helps guide high-level cybersecurity decisions, making them a valuable asset for organizations of all sizes. That said, the effectiveness of cyber risk evaluations is heavily reliant on the tools used to conduct them.

Whether you are evaluating third-party or internal cyber risk, there are several tools that can be used to help streamline the assessment process and improve the accuracy of results. This enables organizations to proactively evaluate cyber risk by enhancing their ability to identify and address critical network vulnerabilities.

How do cybersecurity risk assessments help organizations?

You need to understand the different risks facing your organization as well as the potential severity of each risk in order to accurately assess your cybersecurity posture. This is where cybersecurity risk assessments can be of use. The goal of these assessments is to determine how network assets would be affected in the event of a breach and identify their individual risk level. The insight gained enables comprehensive risk prioritization, improving an organization’s ability to quickly respond to network threats. These can be used to assess third-party risk as well.

In addition, cyber threat assessments are also useful when reporting to the board as they help inform critical security decisions. Using assessment results allows you to validate investment recommendations and provide actionable next steps when discussing security operations. This also helps ensure that your board implements appropriate compliance frameworks as they relate to different cybersecurity functions.

Five risk assessment tools your organization can use

When choosing cyber risk assessment tools, you should look for solutions that can be integrated into your existing security infrastructure as this will eliminate threat management silos and reduce the likelihood of false positives.

Here are five risk assessment tools that you can use to enhance security operations at your organization:

1. Automated questionnaires

A key component of cyber risk assessments is the questionnaires you use to evaluate your third-party risk. Creating and sending questionnaires is a resource-intensive task and validating responses can be difficult. Using an automated questionnaire platform, such as SecurityScorecard’s Atlas, helps address these challenges by creating vendor-specific questionnaires that can be sent and tracked at scale. This creates transparency between you and your vendors as you can track their responses to questions in real-time, streamlining questionnaire management.

2. Security ratings

Security ratings provide a data-driven, objective view of an organization's cybersecurity posture, making them an essential cyber risk assessment tool. While initially used to assess third-party risk, many organizations have begun adopting security ratings to monitor their internal security initiatives. These are especially useful as they provide valuable insight into various aspects of security including attack surface management and threat identification. Security ratings systems can also be used to validate vendor questionnaire responses, helping organizations take a holistic approach to vendor risk management.

3. Third and fourth-party vendor-provided tools

Oftentimes, third and fourth-party vendors who supply network solutions will provide tools that allow you to scan their products for issues. If you work with third-party vendors, be sure to ask about vendor-provided tools as they are usually available at no cost. For example, Google provides a variety of free security tools that are designed to assess the security posture of internet-connected systems. Combined with existing security assessment solutions, these can be used to determine your current risk profile.

4. Vulnerability assessment platforms

The purpose of a vulnerability assessment is to take inventory of and analyze your existing security controls in order to identify vulnerabilities within your IT infrastructure. Using the assessment report, organizations are better able to understand the risk of each vulnerability on their network, helping to establish a system for threat prioritization. Administering an independent vulnerability assessment allows you to evaluate vendor performance as well, which can help bolster third-party business relationships.

5. NIST Framework

The NIST Cybersecurity Framework provides a set of guidelines, based on existing standards and practices, for organizations to use to better manage and reduce cybersecurity risk. In addition to helping organizations identify and respond to cyber threats, the NIST framework also works to improve cyber risk management communication between internal and external stakeholders. By establishing a common language for managing cyber risk, enterprise security teams are able to build comprehensive risk management strategies that are understood across departments.

The framework is divided into five functions, each related to different aspects of risk management. The five functions are as follows:

  • Identify
  • Protect
  • Detect
  • Respond
  • Recover

From there, each function is divided into 23 categories which provide guidance based on the outcomes of different risk management procedures. This level of detail helps organizations ensure that they are properly managing cyber risk while also enhancing their ability to identify threats.

How SecurityScorecard can help organizations assess risk within their network

The quality of your cyber risk assessments is essential to the success of your overall cybersecurity program. With SecurityScorecard, organizations have access to a variety of tools that help to improve the accuracy and effectiveness of your risk assessments. With security ratings, you gain an inside-out view of your entire IT infrastructure helping you make more informed business decisions as it relates to cybersecurity and risk management investments.

To help streamline vendor risk assessments, you can rely on SecurityScorecard’s Atlas. With a centralized platform to send and review questionnaires, you can easily track vendor responses, improving response accuracy. Atlas also leverages machine learning to align questionnaire responses with SecurityScorecard Ratings so that you can validate responses in real-time.

As cyber threats continue to grow in complexity, having access to cyber risk assessment tools has become a necessity. With SecurityScorecard’s suite of risk management solutions, you can proactively manage risks as they arise.
