NATO’s largest Cyber Security Conference, NIAS (NATO Information Assurance Symposium), organized by the NCI Agency, took place in Mons, Belgium on 15-17 October.
This 15th edition of the annual symposium, will focus on: ‘Digital transformation: smart machines for smarter decisions’.
As smart machines proliferate, NATO must be prepared to tap into the potential of these technologies so that Allied leaders can make the right decisions at the right time to protect our infrastructures, troops and populations.
Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Big Data are just some of the innovations, which could both threaten NATO missions or support them.
The three-day event offers a unique opportunity for NATO and national leaders, as well as cyber security specialists from across the Alliance, industry and academia to discuss best practices, exchange views and explore innovative cyber security solutions.
This annual symposium also serves as a platform for frontline IT staff and product developers to exhibit their innovations and share their knowledge of these cutting-edge technologies, which could benefit the Alliance.
Changing and prioritizing content and experience based on what we know about the user's context. A fascinating talk!
More time.
I would really like to prioritize the photography more than now - I have some nice ideas that I want to realise - but I cant let this project 365 take all of my time (as it will, if I let my creativity lead me).
And as I don't want to take something else away at the moment I just have to keep the ideas alive...some day I will have more time.
I took this a few days ago (prioritized my tripod images first)...anyway, check out the deformed bill...has anyone seen something like this before?

Pakistan, Nowshera, August 2010
The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) is scaling up emergency relief to victims of catastrophic flooding in Pakistan, prioritizing the worst-affected areas of Peshawar, Mardan, Charsadda and Nowshera, as it continues to identify stricken communities across the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) province.
Further food distributions are planned to start in Swat and Dera Ismail Khan in the coming days, in conjunction with an extensive network of national and international partner NGOs.
“We are now into the third day of delivering food to hungry families in Peshawar, Mardan, Charsadda and Nowshera, and have reached more than 40, 000 people with life-saving rations,” said WFP Executive Director, Josette Sheeran.
“We are prioritising the worst-affected areas. More distributions are due to start as WFP mobilises staff to overcome immense logistical challenges.”
“Operations are being mounted on both sides of the border – in Pakistan and in Afghanistan – in these heartbreaking days of loss and suffering,” Sheeran added.

Note the signs on the wall - these are the questions I will very likelly ask when people come asking for advice. Now I can point to the wall so they are not shy avoiding my glance when I'm asking the same question I ask every time, over and over.
We wrote up stories and prioritized them for the time spent on day one, which was mostly assessing, answering questions, looking at Agile contracts.

I made a few design cuts here and there. Some maybe a little controversial, like removing the imperial eagle from his chest, but I wanted to prioritize sturdiness and streamlining.

In a book launch of the "Green Jobs from a small state perspective - case studies from Malta", which was edited by Saviour Rizzo and published by the Green European Foundation with the cooperation of AD's sister foundation, Ceratonia Foundation, emphasis was made on the need to prioritize green jobs in Malta. The book launch was organised by Ceratonia Foundation at Europe House.
Speaking at the book launch, AD Chairperson Michael Briguglio, who co-authored a paper in the book, said: "Civil society representatives are highly conscious of the potential of green jobs. Trade unions and environmental NGOs, for example, acknowledge that a shift towards sustainable-energy use has a potential of generating such jobs and that benefits outweigh negative repercussions such as possible job losses in other sectors. Yet, as is the case with other sectors, one should also be wary of uneven situations within the green job market, ranging from skill mismatches to precarious employment situations. Hence, economic and social policies should give priority to this sector through job creations in sectors such as alternative energy, public transport, waste management, IT, tourism, agriculture and research, among others".
Nighat Urpani, Chairperson of the Ceratonia Foundation, said: "The United Nations Environment Program places emphasis in creating green-collar jobs in agricultural, manufacturing, research and development (R&D), administrative, and service activities. This has a potential to contribute substantially in preserving and restoring environmental quality. The overall aims are: to protect ecosystems and biodiversity; reduce energy, materials, and water consumption through high efficiency strategies; de-carbonize the economy. These also help in minimizing and in some cases altogether avoid generation of waste and pollution. All the papers were research based from theoretical and practical aspects, by academics and experts with extensive experience in Green Economy and Sustainable Development."

Every year, I go to Burma/Myanmar and I only take a carry on and a hand bag. Taking a large camera like the 5DMk2 (even a T2i size camera) with a lens or two is not an option for me since I like to go travel light (especially to Myanmar). I wanted a small camera that could produce great quality images, good bokeh when needed, and good colors; l knew not to prioritize it based on high ISO quality. I'll have to give that up for a small camera.
I bought/sold/tried shooting with several cameras--from small, point and shoot size sensor to micro-four thirds. Among the ones I tried, my favorite was the E-PL1 with Panasonic 20/1.7. I wanted to see if I could find something even SMALLER than the Oly/Panny combo without giving up too much on image quality.
I debated between the Samsung TL500 / EX1 and the Leica Dlux4. I was impressed with the quality of Samsung's images I saw on the web (and also the cheaper price). But, I ended up getting the Dlux4 because it had been around longer (RAW files supported by most software), and knew I could get good quality images out of it.
By the time I got the Dlux4, I was already inflicted with Gear Acquisition Syndrome (GAS)--I wanted another camera of that size that could produce images with even BETTER image quality. Since I couldn't afford a Leica X1, I wanted to try out the Sigma DP2s.
---SIGMA DP2s---
It's "different."
The user interface isn't bad, but not as intuitive as others I have tried. I got used it in a couple of days and I find no issues.
LCD screen is so-so. I can still view images on the LCD under a bright sun--better than E-P2. Image quality could be better, but with low-res screen, it's hard to see whether I've nailed the focus point. I also have the external optical viewfinder. It's small, with nice bright frame lines, but it's not really that accurate. If the camera could auto focus well, it'd be more useful.
The build seems fine. It's similar in size to the DLux4 but a little thicker but lighter. The battery life is average for small cameras (not great but not bad).
Performance-wise, it's a hit or miss. In good light, focus is quick but not instant-quick. In lower light, it takes its time locking focus--I'd say average of about a second or sometimes even two. As a range finder camera user, I don't mind taking a little time to shoot since I'm just looking for a good composition and good image quality. This is perfectly fine for stills but not the best for fast paced kids in action. These days, I shoot mostly my kids but I still find DP2s more than usable. I accept and forgive all the quirkiness of the camera since I know I'll get a few really good shots with it. Maybe it's a personal thing--I prefer it over the Oly E-PL1 because it's a little more "challenging" to use and the reward is much more satisfying.
The software that came with it works amazingly well. In fact, if I try to process the DP2s RAW files in Lightroom, my results won't be as good--or at least, it would take me a lot of time to get it right like SIGMA Pro Photo 4.1 software. Simga Pro Photo processing speed is fast--about 3-4 seconds on my 17" Macbook Pro 2.8Ghz Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM laptop. I can see why many people go goo goo over the FOVEON sensor. The colors are, indeed, rich and the POP of the focused subject is quite similar to what I would get with a Leica Summicron 50/2 lens.
All in all, I'm glad I found the DP2s.
Volunteers hosted an event to raise awareness about SDGs and discuss with youth activists how to prioritize global goals.
Reorganized and re-prioritized the projects: Tied for top is the prep of the 2000 Honda CBR600F4 for the track/race school and road racing season along with the frame swap of the 1975 Honda CB400F. Of course I'll ride as much as possible on the Specialized Tri Cross.

I've sort of made a tradition to do a self-portrait on the last day of the year. Gabe was behind the lens this time: The Fujifilm X-T2 w/60mm on a tripod. The camera can apparently detect faces and prioritize which eye is closer to the face and adjust focus accordingly. I'm impressed.
Alex decided to photobomb.
Thus marks the end of another Project 365 (+1 for Leap Year). Thank you, all, for following my photographic meanderings. I'm going to switch it up for 2017 and work on the 52 Week Photography Challenge (dogwood.photography/52weekchallenge2017.html).
