Rookie with a Compass; Pro in the woods

Hello folks!!

Imagine a guy, over 55, who has not used a Compass until about a year ago! Hard to believe? True!



For all the years I spent in the woods, from the time I was quite young, until now; and all the skills that are part of that (cooking, shelter, hunting, etc). you'd think that a "Compass" would be a no-brainer.



Well the folks who taught me my survival skills, must've decided that I didn't need that I guess, because I don't remember ANY of them EVER putting a Compass in my hands!



I knew they existed of course, and I knew sorta "what they did," and all that; but I had no experience with em.



My whole life has, for the most part, been in New England. The times I was NOT in New England were quite abbreviated. So that should give you some idea of the terrain, climate, conditions, I live with.



I've been in upstate New York many times, (Schroon Lake, Paradox Lake area) and lots of other places throughout this Country. Yet most of the "woods" time was spent in upstate Maine. In fact, I'll be up there again for a week, stomping thru the same woods I was in as a child, where my grandfather and his brothers were, in November.



Last year, for some reason, I was drawn to some YouTube videos about Orienteering. That led me to a variety of related topics. I ended up buying a SUUNTO MC-3, and then a Cammenga Tritian Lensatic 3H. I could spend a great deal of time discussing these two types of navigational tools.



I've never known any folks who are part of Orienteering Clubs. I have a son-in-law who is a Capt. in the Army, and he and I have been out in the woods, practicing our Pace Counting (I made my own Pace Counting beads with 15 and 4 bead setup, not Nine and Four).



So here I am folks. Just a guy who wants to learn to be able to find my way with a Compass, no map, and not all "in a straight line!" (lol). I need to become proficient with Dead Reckoning by shooting an Azimuth, (not a big fan of the "box" method of getting around an obstacle, but am moldable).

feeling bored or unmotivated

Hey guys, for the best 10-12 days I had many assignments for university so I did not train at all for 2 weeks. I just been at home studying but I finished my assignments today and I want to go to training but I have this strange feeling, I do not know if it is boredom, or un-motivation for training or that I just finished working in my assignments so I need time to clear my head, I am not sure. Have you ever had a similar feeling , like you really want to train but you do not feel like training.



I just want to know if you guys felt like that and how did you deal with it?

Kave's first MMA fight (with luck)

My coach has told me that there is a tournament for beginning fighters coming up on the 18th of October. I have agreed to enter it, so now I only have 3 weeks to prepare. My entry is conditional upon there being a fighter near my weight, and as I am rather small there are no guarantees.



I am not happier fighting much heavier than 60kg. I am currently weighing 64kg, so I have to aim to lose as much weight as possible. Any weight I can't drop I will have to cut as water weight, and as the event is one with a same day weigh-in I really don't want to have to cut much water weight. The next three weeks are going to be really difficult in terms of diet.



I will post any updates as I get them. Currently I know very little about the event.

Startups and Very Small Businesses - Eager for Mobile Technology, But Lack Resources to Ensure...

Title: Startups and Very Small Businesses - Eager for Mobile Technology, But Lack Resources to Ensure Security



Very small businesses (VSBs) with fewer than 25 employees have the same rate of mobile device adoption as large enterprises. However, most VSBs lack the security awareness, technical expertise, and budget needed to properly protect company-issued or employee-owned (BYOD) mobile devices.



Mobile Adoption Surge in Very Small Businesses



A Kaspersky Lab survey asked 3,900 IT professionals worldwide about IT challenges they encountered over the previous 12 months, and 34% of VSBs said they had managed the integration of mobile devices into their business. What’s noteworthy is this rate is nearly identical to the rate of mobile integration reported by enterprises, which was 35%. This means the smallest companies in the world are adopting mobile technology at essentially the same rate as huge companies with more than 5,000 employees. In fact, VSBs actually reported a higher rate of mobile adoption than small businesses with 26-99 employees, as well as large businesses with 1,500-5,000 employees. VSBs reported 6% more mobile integration than small businesses (defined as 26-99 employees), and 2% more than large businesses (defined as 1,500-5,000 employees). These statistics certainly cast doubt on any perceptions that VSBs are confined to antiquated technology or slow to invest in IT.



Mobile technology may not be restricted to businesses based on their size, but there are other key factors to consider. Expertise and resources are the most obvious limitations of VSBs, which frequently don’t have dedicated IT staff to manage technology implementations. These limitations may lead to a knowledge gap even amongst security-minded business owners. For example, 31% of VSBs listed “Securing Mobile/Portable Computing Devices” as one of their top-three IT security priorities for the next 12 months (a rate comparable to the 34% adoption rate from the previous 12 months). But when asked about BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policies, where employees use their own mobile devices for business purposes, the survey uncovered a perception-gap based on company size.



When surveying attitudes towards technology trends, 28% of VSBs agreed that BYOD introduces an increased IT security risk to their business. But large businesses and enterprises had a response rate that was nearly twice the VSB response, with 52% and 48% respectively agreeing about the risks presented by BYOD. Is it possible that VSBs are overlooking employee-owned mobile devices as a security risk? This seems like a particularly troubling possibility, given that VSBs and their limited budgets are most likely to view employee-owned devices as a cost-savings measure and gladly welcome these devices onto their networks. Common threats from employee-owned mobile devices include malware or rouge applications connecting to the company’s network via the employee’s device, or company data disappearing along with a lost or stolen employee device.



Steps for Mobile Security on a Budget



Realizing that most VSBs lack the budget and technical sophistication for advanced mobile security solutions, small businesses can still use mobile technology – including employee-owned devices – without a huge investment of time or money. A mixture of common-sense and the right technology can go a long way to securing mobile devices, and help the owners of a startup get back to running their business.



1) Employee Education: the first lines of protecting your business data are employees with security mindsets. Make sure new employees know that if their smartphones or tablets contain workplace information, that device shouldn’t be subjected to unnecessarily risky usage habits (e.g., browsing questionable websites), and if the device is lost or stolen, it should be reported immediately to the employer, not days later.



2) Basic Anti-Theft: an inexpensive piece of software that can remotely-wipe the data from missing or stolen devices is essential. Some devices offer similar functions built-in, and there are many third-party applications that can accomplish this task. But make sure an employee understands that if their device is wiped, that typically means any personal information on the device is deleted as well.



3) Avoid Complexity: a newly-created startup business with five employees can’t spend hours purchasing, deploying, and managing a business-grade security product that wasn’t built for their purposes. Avoid purchasing a larger product than the business needs, and stick to core mobile security features.



Kaspersky Lab includes essential mobile protection features – including anti-malware, application verification, and anti-theft – within its Kaspersky Small Office Security product, which was designed specifically for VSBs. Kaspersky Small Office Security gives basic administration tools for mobile devices, data encryption, and endpoint security in a consumer-friendly interface that can be set up in minutes.
