NSA, Herbert confident data center can avoid new energy tax

Politics • Herbert says Utah won't pull a ''bait and switch'' on the national spy center, scheduled to open in October.

This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2013, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.

Washington • Gov. Gary Herbert and National Security Agency officials are confident they can work out an agreement to avert taxing the new Utah Data Center on millions of dollars in electricity it needs to run the mammoth computer farm.

The Legislature this year passed and Herbert signed a new law that would allow the Utah Military Installation Development Authority (MIDA) to collect a tax of up to 6 percent on electricity flowing from Rocky Mountain Power to the new Bluffdale data center.

The law irked NSA officials, though the parties now say tweaks can be made to exempt the center, which was located in Utah partly because of the cheap energy costs.

"There's probably more than one way to skin the cat but the bottom line would end up being ... that NSA will not be charged something in addition to what they were told to begin with," Herbert told The Salt Lake Tribune this week. "I believe the NSA had a legitimate complaint and that complaint is going to be dealt with by the Legislature in a satisfactory way to the NSA."

Harvey Davis, NSA director of installations and logistics, had raised concerns in emails to Herbert's office after learning of the new law.

On Thursday, Davis said in an interview he was confident it would be worked out so that the agency doesn't face larger energy bills.

"That was just more of a hiccup," Davis said. "Sometimes things get through legislatively that people really aren't focused on and as soon as the governor and I saw that, there was a commitment to fix it right away, get us back to status quo. I think it was much to do about nothing."

Herbert wasn't sure whether the law would need to be amended or if it could be worked out in another way, but he said he recognized that Utah lawmakers feel the need to find a revenue stream for the military authority, which was set up to help develop unused military lands.

However, Herbert added, "They also recognize that when NSA came to Utah there is a certain set of rules and parameters they were told about and so the concern everybody has, including the NSA, and I think legislators themselves in hindsight don't want to be accused of a bait and switch."

NSA officials haven't released detailed information on how much energy the data center will consume, though a story in Wired magazine estimate it would pay some $40 million for electricity a year. If the new tax were applied in full, the NSA would have to fork over an additional $2.4 million annually.

Sen. Jerry Stevenson, R-Layton, who sits on MIDA's board, said negotiations between MIDA, Utah lawmakers and the NSA are underway and an agreement is supposed to be reached by September. He declined to give details of those negotiations.

But Stevenson said an agreement needs to include money going to MIDA to fund future projects.

"There's a lot of ways to treat the NSA project separate and different and keep the legislation in place," Stevenson said.

are already paying," Herbert told reporters Thursday after meeting with NSA Director Keith Alexander. "We don't want to do anything that would be a bait and switch. We want to make sure that we are good partners going forward."

Herbert said he believes the state can work out an agreement with MIDA to exempt the NSA from the new tax. He said the agency has been a good partner and has brought thousands of jobs to Utah.

"I think we can work something out where they're not going to be penalized or disadvantaged," Herbert said. "We want them to continue to grow and thrive here in Utah."

The NSA has said the new data center is crucial to its efforts to protect the nation from cyber threats. The center is expected to employ about 10,000 people when fully operational.

Alexander said the NSA is pleased with the progress being made to avoid the new tax. He said the agency is committed to Utah and plans to continue expanding its presence in the state.

"We've had a great relationship with the state of Utah and we look forward to continuing that relationship," Alexander said. "We appreciate the governor's support and we're excited about the future."

The new law was pushed by Rep. Marc Roberts, R-Santaquin, who argued that the NSA should pay its fair share for the electricity it uses.

Roberts said Thursday he was surprised to learn that the NSA could be exempted from the tax. He said he hopes the state can find a way to make the agency pay.

"I'm not real happy about it," Roberts said. "I think they should pay their fair share just like everybody else does."

The new law has drawn criticism from some lawmakers and civil liberties groups who fear the NSA is too powerful and has gone too far in its surveillance efforts.

Alexander has defended the agency's efforts and said it is essential to protecting the nation from threats.

The Utah Data Center is expected to be fully operational by 2015. It will store vast amounts of data collected by the NSA, including phone records, emails and other forms of communication.

Chapter 1: Introduction to Taxation

**Section 1.1: What is Taxation?**
Taxation is the process by which governments collect money from their citizens and businesses to fund public services and programs. Taxes are usually levied as a percentage of income, property, or sales.

**Section 1.2: Why do Governments Collect Taxes?**
Governments collect taxes to provide essential public services such as roads, schools, healthcare, and national defense. Taxes also help to redistribute wealth and reduce income inequality.

**Section 1.3: Types of Taxes**
There are several types of taxes, including:
- Income tax: A tax on personal or corporate income.
- Sales tax: A tax on goods and services purchased.
- Property tax: A tax on real estate ownership.
- Inheritance tax: A tax on the transfer of assets upon death.

**Section 1.4: How are Taxes Levied?**
Taxes are usually levied as a percentage of income, property, or sales. For example, if you earn $50,000 per year and owe 20% in income tax, you would pay $10,000 in taxes.

**Section 1.5: Conclusion**
In this chapter, we learned about taxation and its importance in funding public services. We also explored the different types of taxes and how they are levied. In the next chapter, we will delve into the specifics of the Utah Data Center and its impact on the state's economy.


text: I did it!! All 500+ (800+ for large print) pages!! And what a delight it was. There were many “faces” I’d met in documentaries and historical books about WWII, and the stamina of the English citizens made me proud for my grandmother’s people.. Larson never ceases to amaze me; his non-fiction facts are strung together in a way that makes his books read like a novel, tracing threads of family drama, political intrigue and biographical characterization. I have read and enjoyed several of Larson’s books, but this one was as fascinating as it was informative. I never lost interest or was bored. I loved following the career and love-life of Churchill’s daughter,Mary and was entertained by the excesses his wife, Clementine put up with from The Prime Minister.. Any WWII fan will enjoy this book, but so will readers who enjoy a “darned good read.”

1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to production of a microcellular foam.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Several processes exist for preparation of polymer foams and ceramic foams. These foam preparation techniques include slurry, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) aerogel, fiber co-pressing and binding, vapor phase reaction bonding, preceramic foam pyrolysis, phase separation, and replication processes.
According to the slurry process, a polymer foam is coated with a ceramic slurry. In subsequent processing steps, the slurry-coated polymer foam is exposed to elevated temperatures so that the slurry is sintered and the polymer burned away resulting in a foam having the composition of the ceramic and the microstructure of the polymer foam. The slurry process is relatively economical; however, the resulting ceramic foams are relatively weak and have a coarse-celled microstructure.
Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) processes also begin with a template foam, such as a carbon foam, which is infiltrated with the chemical vapor. The template foam serves as a substrate on which the chemical vapor decomposes to deposit the desired ceramic. The template foam can be left in place or removed by a further processing step such as pyrolysis. Typically, CVD processes are relatively expensive.
Aerogel processes produce foams directly from a sol-gel foam and, hence, are inherently limited to the sol-gel chemistries available and to the cellular microstructures they form.
Vapor-phase reaction bonding processes, such as those described in German Patent DE 2517380, require fabrication of an appropriate microstructure foam of one of the reactive elements, typically of an element such as silicon or carbon.
Preceramic polymers-based processes, in which preceramic polymers are pyrolyzed to form a ceramic foam, by nucleation and growth of gas bubbles within the preceramic polymer are described by Wynne et al., Ann. Rev. Mater. Sci., 14, 1984, 297-334 and Baney et al., in Conference on Emergent Process Methods for High-Technology Ceramics, Materials Science Research Series Vol. 17, Davis et al. Eds., North Carolina State Univ., 1982, Plenum Press, New York, 253-262. Such direct production results in foams characterized by microstructures of wide and poorly controlled cell size distribution and cell volume fraction.
All of these processes are either relatively expensive, or produce coarse or irregular foams. Thus, there exists a need for a relatively inexpensive method for producing foams, particularly, ceramic foams, such as ceramic compositions based on silicon, carbon, nitrogen, boron or titanium, having a fine, controlled, regular and open celled microstructure with no trace of a starting template foam.

Lesson: The Importance of Echolocation in the Life of Bats

Introduction:
Bats are fascinating creatures that play an essential role in our ecosystem. They are the only mammals capable of sustained flight, and they use echolocation to navigate their environment. In this lesson, we will learn about the importance of echolocation in the life of bats and how it helps them survive.

Section 1: Understanding Echolocation
Echolocation is a biological sonar system used by animals, such as bats, dolphins, and whales, to navigate and locate objects in their environment. It involves emitting sounds and then listening for the echoes to determine the location, distance, and shape of objects. Bats use echolocation to find food, avoid obstacles, and communicate with other bats.

Theoretical Concept: Echolocation works by emitting high-pitched sounds and then listening for the echoes. The time it takes for the echo to return, the frequency of the echo, and the intensity of the echo can help the bat determine the location, distance, and shape of objects.

Practical Example: Imagine you are a bat flying in the dark. You emit a high-pitched sound and listen for the echo. The time it takes for the echo to return tells you how far away the object is. The frequency of the echo helps you determine the size and shape of the object. The intensity of the echo tells you whether the object is solid or empty.

Definitions:
- Echolocation: A biological sonar system used by animals to navigate and locate objects in their environment.
- Frequency: The number of times an event occurs per unit of time, typically measured in hertz (Hz).
- Intensity: The amount of energy or power transmitted by a wave, typically measured in watts per square meter (W/m²).

Section 2: How Bats Use Echolocation
Bats use echolocation to find food, avoid obstacles, and communicate with other bats. They emit high-pitched sounds and then listen for the echoes to determine the location, distance, and shape of objects. This helps them navigate their environment and avoid collisions with objects or other animals.

Theoretical Concept: Bats use a process called pulse-rate modulation to change the frequency of their echolocation calls. This allows them to adapt to different environments and situations. For example, when flying in cluttered environments, bats may emit calls at a higher rate to get more information about their surroundings.

Practical Example: Imagine you are a bat flying in a forest. You emit a series of high-pitched sounds and listen for the echoes. The frequency of the echoes helps you navigate through the trees and avoid collisions with branches.

Definitions:
- Pulse-rate modulation: A process where the frequency of a signal is varied to transmit different information.
- Clutter: Objects or obstacles that make it difficult to navigate or perceive the environment.

Section 3: The Importance of Echolocation in the Life of Bats
Echolocation is crucial for the survival of bats. It allows them to find food, avoid obstacles, and communicate with other bats. Without echolocation, bats would not be able to navigate their environment effectively, and they would be more vulnerable to predators and other dangers.

Theoretical Concept: Bats use echolocation to find food by emitting high-pitched sounds and then listening for the echoes to determine the location, distance, and shape of objects. This helps them locate insects, which they then catch with their wings or teeth.

Practical Example: Imagine you are a bat hunting for insects at night. You emit a high-pitched sound and listen for the echo. The time it takes for the echo to return tells you how far away the insect is. The frequency of the echo helps you determine the size and shape of the insect. The intensity of the echo tells you whether the insect is moving or stationary.

Definitions:
- Prey: An organism that is hunted and eaten by another animal.
- Predator: An animal that hunts and kills other animals for food.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, echolocation is an essential tool for bats, allowing them to navigate their environment, find food, and communicate with other bats. By understanding the importance of echolocation in the life of bats, we can appreciate the vital role they play in our ecosystem and work to protect them.

Lazy girl hair guide

As much as I love my long hair sometimes, it can also be a drag with what to do with it. The thought of a cute pixie haircut crosses my mind until I remember that I’d have to style my hair regardless of its length.

Here are some alternatives for a lazy hair day that I’ve tried myself:

Messy Pony

Breathe some life into your regular go-to ponytail. Brush your hair higher on the crown of your head, tease and mess the rest of your hair slightly then top it off with some hairspray.

Have you tried already? Do one better and try the…

Super long ponytail

No need for hair pieces to give your ponytail enviable length for days. It’s all about the illusion with a double ponytail and some volume.

Braided Duo

This crown braid completely with a fishtail is one of favourite lazy hairstyles. I do it so often, that I do while I’m lazing on the couch and I don’t feel like putting much effort or time to do my hair.

Subtle braids

This I do when I let my hair air dry as it has a natural soft boho wave. To do it up a little, I add thin braids here and there.

Lesson: How to Research a Topic Using Online Resources

Introduction:
In today's digital age, researching a topic has become easier than ever before. With the internet at our fingertips, we can access a wealth of information on almost any subject. However, with so much information available, it can be overwhelming to know where to start. In this lesson, we will learn how to effectively research a topic using online resources.

Section 1: Finding Reliable Sources
- One of the most important aspects of research is finding reliable sources. When searching for information online, make sure to look for websites that end in .edu or .gov, as these are typically more reliable than .com websites.
- Also, be sure to check the author's credentials and the date the information was published. If the information is outdated, it may not be as useful.
- Another good indicator of a reliable source is the number of citations or references it has. If other sources are referencing the same information, it is likely to be accurate.

Section 2: Using Search Engines
- Search engines like Google can be a great tool for finding information. However, it's important to use specific keywords and phrases to get the most relevant results.
- Try using quotation marks around phrases to narrow down your search. For example, if you're looking for information on the Ornate Box Turtle, you could search "Ornate Box Turtle" instead of just "turtle."
- You can also use the "filetype" function to specify what type of file you're looking for. For example, if you want to find a PDF document, you could search "Ornate Box Turtle" filetype:pdf.

Section 3: Evaluating Information
- Once you've found some information, it's important to evaluate it to make sure it's accurate and reliable. Ask yourself questions like: Who wrote the information? What are their credentials? Is there evidence to support the claims being made?
- It can also be helpful to cross-reference information from multiple sources to see if they all agree on the same facts.
- Remember, just because something is written on the internet, doesn't mean it's true. Always critically evaluate the information you find.

Conclusion:
Researching a topic online can be a great way to gather information. By following the tips and techniques outlined in this lesson, you can effectively navigate the vast amount of information available on the internet and find the most reliable and accurate sources. With practice, you'll be able to research any topic with ease.

Glossary:
- Reliable sources: Websites that are credible and trustworthy, typically ending in .edu or .gov.
- Keywords: Specific words or phrases used to narrow down a search.
- Filetype: A function used in search engines to specify what type of file you're looking for.
- Cross-reference: To compare and contrast information from multiple sources to see if they agree on the same facts.

Lesson: The Benefits of Playing Futsal

Introduction:
Futsal is a popular sport that is played in many countries around the world. It is a variation of soccer that is played on a smaller field with a smaller ball. In this lesson, we will explore the benefits of playing Futsal and how it can improve your soccer skills.

Section 1: Basic Movement and Playing Patterns
Futsal is played on a hard court surface, which requires players to use different movements than they would on a grass field. The smaller field size also means that players need to be quicker with their movements and have better control over the ball.

Section 2: Lots of Touches and 1v1 Opportunities
One of the benefits of Futsal is that it allows players to have more touches on the ball. This means that players can develop their ball control and passing skills more effectively. Additionally, Futsal games often result in 1v1 situations, which allow players to practice their individual skills and decision-making abilities.

Section 3: Competitiveness and Fun
Futsal is a competitive sport, but it is also meant to be fun. Players can learn to compete while still enjoying the game and having a good time. This can help develop mental toughness and a positive attitude towards competition.

Conclusion:
Playing Futsal can improve your soccer skills in many ways. By practicing basic movements and playing patterns, you can develop quicker reflexes and better ball control. Additionally, having more touches on the ball and more 1v1 opportunities can help you become a better individual player. Finally, playing Futsal can teach you to compete while still having fun, which can help you develop mental toughness and a positive attitude towards competition.


text: Dual Brush Pens - Twin Tip. Brush pens with two tips. The fine tip is mainly used when drawing exact lines. The second tip is thicker and flexible more like a brush.. Water-based – colours can be mixed and used as watercolours. Perfect for creating cards, producing motifs, sketching, drawing comics, illustrating and much more. These pens are odourless.. Colours are not light-resistant.

textbook:
Lesson: Introduction to Dual Brush Pens

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
Dual brush pens are writing instruments that come with two tips - a fine tip and a thicker, flexible brush tip. The fine tip is ideal for creating precise lines, while the brush tip allows for more freedom and flexibility in your strokes. These pens are typically water-based, meaning that their colors can be mixed and used like watercolors. They are perfect for a variety of creative activities, such as card making, producing motifs, sketching, drawing comics, and illustrating.

## Section 2: Practical Examples
To demonstrate the practical use of dual brush pens, let's consider an example. Suppose you are creating a card for a friend's birthday. You could use the fine tip to draw precise lines and shapes for the card's design, such as borders or geometric patterns. Then, you could use the brush tip to add color and texture to the card, such as filling in the shapes with gradients or adding splatters for a more dynamic look. By using both tips together, you can create a cohesive and visually interesting design that showcases your creativity.

## Section 3: Self-Debating Discussion
One of the benefits of using dual brush pens is the ability to mix and match colors. This can lead to some interesting discussions about color theory and how different hues can work together to create a harmonious design. For example, you might debate whether it's better to use complementary colors (colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel) or analogous colors (colors that are next to each other on the color wheel) for your card design. You could also discuss the psychological impact of certain colors, such as how red is associated with excitement and energy, or how blue is associated with calmness and tranquility.

## Glossary

Lesson Title: Understanding Nutritional Information on Food Packaging

Introduction:
Food packaging often contains important information about the nutritional content of the product. In this lesson, we will learn how to read and interpret nutritional labels, understand the different types of nutrients, and make informed decisions about what we eat.

Section 1: Understanding Nutritional Labels

Topic 1: Reading Nutrition Facts Labels
- Nutrition facts labels provide information about the serving size, number of servings per container, and the amount of key nutrients per serving.
- Serving size is the amount of food that contains a specific number of calories and is used to calculate the rest of the nutrition information.
- To determine the amount of a nutrient in a serving, divide the total amount by the number of servings per container.

Topic 2: Understanding Nutrient Types
- Carbohydrates: Provides energy for the body and can be found in fruits, vegetables, grains, and sugars.
- Proteins: Help build and repair body tissues and are found in meat, dairy products, beans, and nuts.
- Fats: Provide energy and help the body absorb certain vitamins. Saturated and trans fats can increase cholesterol levels and should be consumed in moderation.
- Vitamins and Minerals: Essential for good health and can be obtained through diet or supplements.

Section 2: Analyzing Nutritional Information

Topic 1: Calculating Percent Daily Values
- Percent daily values (DV) represent the percentage of the recommended daily intake of each nutrient.
- To calculate the percentage of DV for a specific nutrient, divide the amount per serving by the DV and multiply by 100.

Topic 2: Comparing Foods
- To compare the nutritional content of different foods, look at the serving size, number of servings per container, and the amount of key nutrients per serving.
- Choose foods with lower amounts of saturated and trans fats, added sugars, and sodium.

Section 3: Applying Nutritional Information

Topic 1: Making Informed Decisions
- Use the nutrition facts label to choose foods that are lower in calories, fat, and sugar.
- Look for foods that are high in fiber, vitamins, and minerals.

Topic 2: Reading Ingredient Lists
- The ingredient list shows the order in which the ingredients were added to the food.
- Choose foods with fewer ingredients and avoid those with unhealthy additives such as trans fats, high fructose corn syrup, and artificial colors or flavors.

Conclusion:
By understanding nutritional information on food packaging, we can make informed decisions about what we eat and ensure that we are consuming a balanced and healthy diet.


text: This program project examines the structure, biosynthesis, and roles of carbohydrates in cell-cell interaction. The proposed projects were borne-out from our strong collaborative research activities in the previous funding period. This program project is a continued close collaboration among investigators whose expertise ranges from carbohydrate synthetic chemistry, carbohydrate biosynthesis, immunology, to cellular and molecular biology. In the coming years, we wilt add strength in research capability by incorporating intravital microscopy to observe migrating and interacting cells in vivo. The work centers around sulfated, fucosylated glycoconjugates in lymphocyte trafficking, tumor progression, and myelopoiesis. The work includes the role of carbohydrate-mediated signal transduction, a novel aspect in the field, through studies on the role of fucose in Notch signaling. The work also determines the role of carbohydrate-dependent tumor metastasis by identifying novel carbohydrate recognition molecules and their use for tumor targeting, and determining the roles of heparan sulfate in tumor angiogenesis. These studies will provide new information on the roles of carbohydrates in myelopoiesis, chronic inflammation, tumor progression, and carbohydrate-dependent signal transduction. The knowledge gained from these studies may help in the design of improved therapeutic intervention against malignancies and other diseases.

Lesson: Introduction to Carbohydrates

### Section 1: What are Carbohydrates?
Carbohydrates are organic compounds made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms, with a general formula of Cn(H2O)n. They are classified into four major groups: monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides. Monosaccharides are the simplest form of carbohydrates, such as glucose and fructose, while disaccharides are composed of two monosaccharides linked together, such as sucrose. Oligosaccharides are composed of a few monosaccharides linked together, and polysaccharides are long chains of monosaccharides linked together, such as starch and cellulose.

### Section 2: Structure and Functions of Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates play essential roles in living organisms, including energy storage and transfer, cell recognition and signaling, and structural support. They are involved in various biological processes, such as cell adhesion, immune response, and enzyme regulation. The structure of carbohydrates can vary greatly, with different types of monosaccharides, linkages between monosaccharides, and modifications such as sulfation or glycosylation.

### Section 3: Types of Carbohydrates
There are several types of carbohydrates, including:

1. Monosaccharides: These are the simplest form of carbohydrates, such as glucose, fructose, and galactose. They cannot be further broken down into smaller sugars.

2. Disaccharides: These are composed of two monosaccharides linked together, such as sucrose, lactose, and maltose.

3. Oligosaccharides: These are composed of a few monosaccharides linked together, such as oligomannose and oligogalactose.

4. Polysaccharides: These are long chains of monosaccharides linked together, such as starch, glycogen, and cellulose.

### Section 4: Carbohydrate Metabolism
Carbohydrates are broken down into glucose during digestion, which is then transported into cells and used for energy production through cellular respiration. Excess glucose is stored as glycogen in the liver and muscles. The breakdown of glycogen into glucose is called glycogenolysis, while the conversion of glucose into fatty acids and glycogen is called gluconeogenesis.

### Section 5: Conclusion
In conclusion, carbohydrates are essential organic compounds that play crucial roles in living organisms. They are involved in various biological processes, including energy storage and transfer, cell recognition and signaling, and structural support. Understanding the structure, function, and metabolism of carbohydrates is important for advancing our knowledge of biology and medicine.

The High Court of Justice's ruling Wednesday on the legality of the Citizenship Law proves the erosion of this institution's role as Israel's guardian of civil rights. Let's look at how the justices voted at the moment of truth on the law, which bans Palestinians from living in Israel with spouses who are Israeli citizens.

In a 2006 ruling, 6 out of 11 justices said the law was unconstitutional, and in the current ruling, 6 out of 11 justices said the law, which was made more strict after the first ruling, was constitutional. That's a disappointing outcome, in part because the first ruling was made not long after the terror attacks of the second intifada, while the current ruling was made during a period of calm, due in part to coordination between Israel and the Palestinian Authority.

The title that Justice Asher Grunis gave his opinion - "Human rights are not a prescription for national suicide" - is also disappointing. No one disagrees with this, but Justice Elyakim Rubinstein, who arrived at the same judicial conclusion, recognizes that "a small group - those men and women in Israel's Arab minority who want to marry residents of the region - must pay a heavy price for greater security for all Israelis, including their own."

Justice Grunis apparently would not agree to this wording; as he put it, he's not someone who gives the "constitutional rights that are mentioned in the Basic Law on Human Dignity and Liberty the most expanded and comprehensive interpretation."

Justice Miriam Naor's opinion is disappointing - that the constitutional right to family life means everything, but establishing a family with a foreign spouse in Israel should not receive constitutional protection. It's hard to accept this contradiction, which imposes on other countries a burden that Israel is unwilling to bear and hurts Israeli citizens' right to family life.

The dissenting opinion properly balances the security needs of all citizens and the rights of individuals; the law should be annulled and replaced with security checks of any candidate for residence in Israel when family unification is involved.

The ruling touches on the balance between security needs and individual rights, but the public will understand it as a demographic ruling - one that protects the Jewish majority while harming the rights of Arab citizens. And thus the ruling pushes Israel down the slope of apartheid.

Lesson: Introduction to Human Rights and Civil Liberties

### Chapter 1: What are human rights?

Human rights are basic rights and freedoms that every person has simply because they are human beings. These rights are based on the principles of equality, fairness, and justice, and they apply to everyone, regardless of their race, religion, gender, or nationality.

### Chapter 2: What are civil liberties?

Civil liberties refer to the personal freedoms that individuals enjoy in a society that respects the rule of law. These liberties include freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, freedom of religion, and the right to a fair trial.

### Chapter 3: Why are human rights and civil liberties important?

Human rights and civil liberties are essential to the functioning of a just and democratic society. They protect individuals from arbitrary government actions, ensure that everyone is treated fairly and equally before the law, and provide a framework for peaceful resolution of conflicts.

### Chapter 4: How are human rights and civil liberties protected?

Human rights and civil liberties are protected by laws and institutions that uphold and enforce these rights. In many countries, including the United States, there are written constitutions that guarantee certain rights and freedoms. Courts and other institutions, such as human rights commissions, play an important role in enforcing these rights.

### Chapter 5: Case Study: The Citizenship Law in Israel

In 2003, the Israeli Knesset passed a law that made it difficult for Palestinians from the Occupied Territories to live in Israel with their spouses who are Israeli citizens. In 2006, the High Court of Justice ruled that this law was unconstitutional. However, in 2018, the Knesset passed a new version of the law that was even stricter than the previous one. In a 2019 ruling, the High Court of Justice once again considered the constitutionality of the law, and this time, six out of eleven justices voted in favor of its constitutionality.

This case study demonstrates the importance of protecting human rights and civil liberties, even in times of peace and cooperation between Israel and the Palestinian Authority. It also shows how courts and other institutions can play a crucial role in upholding these rights.

### Conclusion:

In conclusion, understanding human rights and civil liberties is essential for anyone who wants to live in a just and democratic society. By studying cases like the Citizenship Law in Israel, we can learn about the importance of protecting these rights and the role that courts and other institutions play in enforcing them.

Lesson: Introduction to Cybersecurity and Boardish

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

In this lesson, we will learn about cybersecurity and the role of Boardish in quantifying financial impact figures. Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting digital devices, networks, and sensitive information from unauthorized access and attack. As more and more businesses move online, the need for cybersecurity has become increasingly important.

Boardish is a tool that helps cyber professionals quantify threats and solutions into financial impact figures. This tool is commonly used by vendors as a sales tool to prove financial threat impact mitigation to businesses. CISOs and cyber professionals also use Boardish within their organization to maintain a wider security posture and speed up the IT and cyber decision-making process.

## Section 2: Practical Examples

Now let's look at some practical examples of how Boardish can be used. Suppose a company has experienced a data breach that has resulted in the loss of sensitive customer information. Using Boardish, the company can quantify the financial impact of this breach by calculating the cost of notifying customers, reimbursing them for any losses, and repairing their damaged reputation.

Another example could be a financial institution that wants to assess the potential impact of a denial-of-service (DoS) attack on its website. With Boardish, the institution can estimate the cost of downtime, lost revenue, and damage to its reputation, and then use this information to make an informed decision about whether to invest in additional security measures.

## Section 3: Self-Debating Discussions

Now let's engage in a self-debating discussion. Suppose you are a CISO of a company that is considering whether or not to invest in Boardish. On one hand, Boardish could help you quantify the financial impact of cyber threats and make more informed decisions about security investments. On the other hand, Boardish may be expensive and require significant time and resources to implement. How would you weigh these pros and cons?

One way to approach this decision would be to conduct a cost-benefit analysis. You would need to consider the potential costs of not investing in Boardish, such as the financial impact of a cyber attack, as well as the potential benefits of investing in Boardish, such as improved cybersecurity and faster decision-making.

## Glossary

- Cybersecurity: The practice of protecting digital devices, networks, and sensitive information from unauthorized access and attack.
- Boardish: A tool that helps cyber professionals quantify threats and solutions into financial impact figures.
- Financial Impact: The cost of notifying customers, reimbursing them for any losses, and repairing their damaged reputation.
- Denial-of-Service (DoS) Attack: An attempt to make a network resource unavailable to its users by overwhelming it with traffic from multiple sources.

## Conclusion

In this lesson, we learned about cybersecurity and the role of Boardish in quantifying financial impact figures. We also looked at practical examples of how Boardish can be used and engaged in a self-debating discussion about whether or not to invest in Boardish. By understanding the importance of cybersecurity and the benefits of using Boardish, we can make informed decisions about security investments and maintain a wider security posture.
