Sheriff Wiley attended a training in Israel with JINSA as a delegate of the LEEP program in November 2005.On May 22, 2018, the last of 3 defendants charged in connection with the 2015 shooting of an Ascension Parish Sheriff’s Deputy pled guilty in Ascension Parish District Court. Jeff Wiley has served as Sheriff of Ascension Parish since 1996, a position he currently remains in today. The Sheriff’s Office of Ascension Parish, Louisiana, is among the departments that have sent delegates to Israel. Over 11,000 additional American law enforcement officials have attended LEEP conferences nationwide, which bring in Israeli security officials as experts. JINSA launched its Law Enforcement Exchange Program (LEEP) shortly after 9/11, and since 2002 has run annual trips to Israel for US federal, state, and local law enforcement. JINSA is a think tank that advocates for US-Israeli security cooperation, increased domestic military spending, and military aid to Israel, and has board members with close ties to US defense contractors. ![]() One of the organizations that organize and sponsor these trainings is the Jewish Institute for National Security of America (JINSA). Rather than promoting security for all, these programs facilitate an exchange of methods of state violence and control, including mass surveillance, racial profiling, and suppression of protest and dissent. While framed as an opportunity for US law enforcement to learn policing strategies from a closely aligned democracy with counter-terror experience, in fact these are trainings with an occupying force that rules a population deprived of human and civil rights. American facilitators and participants of these programs similarly argue that the United States and Israel are allied democracies whose law enforcement agencies play a crucial role in preserving national security. The American and Israeli governments justify these exchanges on the grounds that the United States and Israel share the mission of the War on Terror. In 2002, just months after 9/11, American police officers held their first official training expedition to Israel to learn about “counter-terrorism.” Since then, hundreds of law enforcement officials and government agents from across the country have been sent to Israel to meet with military and police forces, and thousands more have participated in conferences, trainings, and workshops with Israeli officials in the United States. ![]() ![]() You can expect a yearly return of ~7-10% on your savings via investments, you’ll lose ~3% to inflation, and thus you’ll be leftover with a safe withdrawable increase of ~4% yearly.Ģ.

Fortunately, HotSpot Shield does not leak your IP (Internet Protocol) address or DNS (Domain Name System) to third party trackers or hackers. DNS leaks and WebRTC leaks are major headaches for those users who value their online privacy as highly as I do. User privacy is not limited to just what protocol or encryption is used. There is not much to worry though as renowned cybersecurity companies such as McAfee and Bitdefender employ the same Catapult Hydra protocol to provide VPN services from within their app. The downside of this Hydra protocol is that the working of the VPN becomes difficult to assess but the upside is lightning-fast speed and better performances. New keys are generated for each new sessions and a key lasts as long as the session lasts. The motive of the Catapult Hydra is to improve performance speed and provide perfect forward secrecy (you can read more about HotSpot Shield support for OpenVPN protocols on the official website). The Catapult Hydra is based on TSL (Transport Layer Security) 1.2 and carries 128-AES encryption and 2048-bit RSA for server authentication. Instead of the more secure (and popular) OpenVPN protocol, HotSpot Shield uses its own proprietary Catapult Hydra technology. OpenVPN and similar protocols are known to be secure and have gained the trust of users over the years. What caught my attention was the fact that HotSpot Shield VPN does not support any standard VPN protocols such as OpenVPN, LT2P or IKEv2 which are used by the vast majority of VPN service providers if not all. ![]() ![]() ![]() My domain was set to an SMTP server running at my hosting company, and I had a server-side rule that sent every email message both to Exchange and to Gmail. ![]() SMTP server forwarding rulesįor the longest time, I used Exchange and Outlook as my email environment and Gmail as by incoming mail backup.

And I'll provide a link in the notes below this video to the instructions on how you can get that local font enabler set up on your system. Now, this one is only available for Mac and Windows. If you're using the online version of Figma, then you can still use local fonts as well, but you're gonna need to install the Figma Font Helper. So you might just need to take some manual steps to make sure that your fonts are inside that folder, and then you'll be all good on Linux as well. This will also pick up your local fonts automatically, but in my experience so far, it will only pick up fonts that are inside your user share fonts TTF folder. It's also free and open source, and I will link to that in the notes below this video if you are working on Linux. There isn't actually an official Linux version of the Figma desktop application, but there is an unofficial version which is built on Electron. If you're using the desktop editor on either Windows or Mac, then it will just automatically pick up your local fonts. You can either go via the desktop application for your operating system. However, if you want to use local fonts, fonts that you have installed on your machine inside Figma, there are two ways. Now, Google Fonts are automatically available for you inside Figma, whether you're using a desktop version or an online version. And in each of these examples, the first four of the fonts that you're seeing on the screen here come from Google Fonts. So just to quickly rattle them off, we've got serif fonts, sans serif fonts, slab serif fonts, semi-serif, script, and monospace. What you can see on the screen here is a set of examples of each of the different classifications of font. So if you know which category you're looking for, you can immediately reduce the number of fonts that you need to troll through down to a sixth of what it otherwise would be. There are six essential categories of fonts. Generally speaking, if you have an idea what type of a style you're going for in a design, you're gonna be able to match that to a certain category or a classification of font. So first up, we're looking at font classification because it just helps to simplify the process of font selection. Then we're gonna move on to combining fonts together, and then the third part, we're gonna talk about font stacks. The first part is gonna be about the different classifications of fonts. This first section of the course is gonna be all about font selection, and we're gonna break that into three parts. ![]() Welcome to the first section of Web Typography Basics in Figma.

Behavior The storks are normally silent, although they will frequently engage in bill-clattering, which is a true stork habit. They don't say much, in fact they're mute most of the time, but when they clatter their bills upon running into another shoebill, or if it's mating season, duck for cover: It sounds just like a machine gun. They have a little feathered crest on the back of their heads and have an eight-foot wingspan. Fierce in the wild, the dauntless shoebill has been known to fight Nile crocodiles to get to their delicious babies, and to fraternize with hippos whenever possible, as the sheer enormity of hippos forces yummy shoebill snacks to the water's surface. They can be known to attack each other, especially when they’re young. Shoebills can live to be up to 35 years old.

All shoebill birds have massive spoon-like bills and feature grey plumage that is brown when theyre younger. Stoic loners – there are only about 3,300 to 5,300 individuals left in the wild – the shoebill stays mainly in its own bailiwick, flying (a mere 150 flaps per minute) anywhere from 500 to 1,000 feet (152 to 305 meters) at a time, with most flights in the 65-foot (20-meter) range. The usual height of a shoebill stork is 3.3-4.6 ft (1.0-1.4 m), and its wingspan can reach up to 7.64 ft (2.3 m). A hippogriff is a legendary creature, supposedly the offspring of a griffin and a mare. While the momma shoebill will lay two or three eggs, only one chick will survive, as the eldest offspring has a Darwinian dark side and, alas, kills its siblings.
