With a multidisciplinary background both in political science and in computer science, since 1997 he developed an active interest in ICT security, with particular reference to GRC (Governance, Risk and Compliance), cybercrime and cyber warfare issues. Over the years he worked in the IDM, IAM, DLP, Anti Fraud, Security Intelligence, Forensics, Vulnerability Assessment & Management fields in Enterprise, Industrial, Central PA and Gov-Mil environments. He writes articles and essays on InfoSec topics and follows very closely all developments in Cybersecurity, working as a trusted advisor with national and international organizations. He partecipates to the activities of CLUSIT (Italian Association for Information Security) speaking at conferences, contributing papers (two ROSI patterns about IAM and DLP, seminars about SCADA Security and Social Media Security) and spreading the culture of IT Security in Italy. In addition to collaborating with numerous Italian and foreign companies, he is the founder and CEO of iDialoghi, a consulting firm specializing in the design and implementation of advanced information security solutions, including the Social Business Security field. So, incident response in the cloud is an activity that relies mostly on communication and information sharing among the various actors involved.

A wise cloud consumer wants to be part of the incident response process but, often, a cautious cloud provider needs to maintain the whole process in his hands. Moreover, the provider has specific needs not to disclose some pieces of information belonging to other customers uninvolved by the incident. So, despite all the difficulties, the solution is to achieve a good balance between these diverging requirements and the only tools that can be used to regulate these information interchanges are contractual clauses and Service Level Agreements (SLA).

Andrea, the floor is yours! The prevailing compliance-focused security model is showing all its shortcomings too, and has clearly become obsolete when compared to the evolution of threats: not only diffuse cyber-hacktivism has fully demonstrated its potential with LulzSec and Anonymous (ask Sony!), but high tech skills are now available for rent on a global scale to a variety of customers, including nation states, corporations and other interest groups (i.e. Criminal cartels and terrorists), changing the security game forever. For their very nature, Social Media are not only affected by the usual Internet threats (frauds, scams, spam, phishing, whaling, identity theft, malvertising and infections hit tens of millions of users every year), but are also becoming the new tool of choice for OSInt and enemy groups infiltration, social engineering and PsyOps, unfair competition, surveillance and target acquisition (as was recently demonstrated in Lybia and during the “Arab Springs”).

Social Media have now become not only the Arcadia of digital social interactions, but also the equivalent of a world-wide, free C4SIR for any antagonist group, a perfect cyberweapons delivery system and, of course, cybercrime’s preferred playground.

Curious about auras? This article will hopefully explain the specifics of this peculiar phenomenon. What’s an aura, anyways?

The term aura refers to an individual’s subtle energetic emanations. Auras aren’t visible to everyone, but plenty of people see them.

They appear as a sphere of light or color around the body. The color, size, brightness, and other features of the aura depend on the nature of the person it belongs to. These things can vary based on mood. They can also relate to metabolic factors, magical activity, and many other things. Many New Age writers say that the aura is energy in the scientific sense. This is a common misconception.

No physicist has ever measured anything resembling auras as they’re commonly understood. A few days ago, someone told me that they believed the aura was a human’s magnetic field. This isn’t true. The magnetic field of a human doesn’t act like an aura.

It doesn’t change based on emotions or other things like that. Others say it is something electrical, or related to quantum mechanics. The truth of the matter is that science can’t (yet) measure the aura in any way. Many are skeptical about its existence for this reason.

Still, many, many people have seen auras throughout history. To me, it’s a real phenomenon. Science may not understand it yet, but, for me, it’s real! The energy that extends beyond our physical bodies is called the aura. The word “aura” is derived from Latin aere, meaning “air” or “gentle breeze.” The American Heritage Dictionary defines the aura as “an invisible breath, emanation, or radiation.” In metaphysics, the aura is seen as the human energy field, that portion of the subtle body that radiates out beyond the limits of the physical body.

Also, many children see auras in early childhood. Often, this ability, if not cultivated, disappears as they grow up. Many magicians and witches develop the ability to see auras. This involves a great deal of practice and effort. It’s worthwhile, but everyone is different. Not everyone will have the same aptitude to see auras.

Some people can see only a little bit of the aura, like a vague mist. Others see brighter colors and light. Everyone’s aura is different, too!

Most witches and psychics believe this extends only few feet from the body. Size can and does vary, though.

Some people may have an aura of only several inches. Others might have a very large aura. Size, color, brightness, and other features change throughout a person’s life. If you see a person’s aura at one point, expect it to change within hours, if not minutes. This reflects how dynamic people can be. Auras in History People have observed and recorded auras throughout time. It appears in many pieces of religious and spiritual artwork.

Historically, auras are usually shown emanating from the body of holy men and women. Christian artists often depict them surrounding saints.

They appear in other cultures, as well. Medieval authors referred to the light surround a person’s head as the “aureole”. They called light around the body the “nimbus.“ These authors called the whole aura the “glory.” In Scrying for Beginners, Donald Tyson writes about the auras shape in artwork.

While many modern seers refer to the aura as a sphere, the ancients saw it differently. They believed that saints emanated two spheres that overlapped. The glory is sometimes depicted in religious art as the vesica or vesica piscis, a lens-shaped figure formed by the overlap of two equal circles that pass through each other at their centers. Christ, the Virgin Mary, and other saints are often painted within this pointed oval, which is also called a mandorla (from the Italian word for 'almond”). Donald Tyson. Scrying For Beginners (For Beginners (Llewellyn’s)) (p. Llewellyn - A.

Kindle Edition. During the occult revival of the late 19th and early 20th century, many people wrote about the aura. Theosophists and other occultists developed complex systems for understanding it. Madame Blavatsky and Walter Kilner believed there were distinct layers to the aura. They named them and sought to understand them. As science merged with occultism, seers began to look for ways to measure the aura. There have been plenty of attempts.

None were particularly fruitful. Of note is “Kirlian Photography.” Symon and Valentina Kirlian developed this practice in 1940s Russia. It involves sending an electrical current through the individual. A photographic plate records the resulting discharge. Later scientists argued that the image was more mundane.

They believed the interaction of this electric field and ambient moisture caused it. Today, most people seem to agree with that sentiment. Kirlian images recorded don’t behave in a manner consistent with how seers perceive the aura. For example, Kirlian images rarely change based on state of mind. Despite many attempts, science still doesn’t understand the aura! For that reason, most people relegate it to the realm of metaphysics and occultism.

I don’t have a problem with that. I am supportive of science, but acknowledge that not everything is currently known. As a witch, I do believe in magick, for example. Magick itself isn’t understood or measurable by science. The aura isn’t, but I still find the concept useful. Seeing the Aura Over time, it has been evident that people can develop aura sight. I myself saw auras occasionally as a child.

I did not have further experiences with this until I began studying magick, though. I don’t consider myself to have natural aura vision.

Still, I see auras in certain circumstances these days. It’s something I practiced and developed. While not everyone can develop this ability, most people can! The level of detail you see will vary, but why not try? Now, I’ll give you my own method for inducing aura vision.

It may or may not work for you. I have read that many other people found these techniques helpful, though.

It is best to begin by looking for your own aura. Some people do begin by working with a partner, though. For me, aura vision comes best when I’m a bit sleepy. I don’t have the focus for it when I’m completely exhausted, but a little sleepiness works well. I’ve found that auras are easiest to see in a dim environment without bright artificial lights.

Natural light in the early morning or evening works best for me. While some folks say candlelight works, I find that the flickering distracts me. Some herbs and incense can help with aura sight. Herbal blends designed for psychic enhancement have worked well for me in the past. My favorite herb for inducing aura vision is mugwort.

It is good for other magical purposes, as well. Do some research and be careful if you decide to try it, of course. Not everyone reacts well to herbs.

Begin by focusing your vision on the edges of the body. This is regardless of whether you’re working by yourself or with someone else. With other people, I like to fix my vision above the top of the head. When looking for my own aura, I extend my hand flat and at an angle. Then, I gaze above my palm. This is tricky, though.

It takes a lot of practice. It works best for me if I look at the space close to the body, and try to ignore the body itself.

It’s difficult, though. We’re used to looking directly at objects, not the area around them. I would suggest not wearing very bright clothing when attempting this.

That can be distracting. It’s also good to do this against a blank, uncolored surface, like a white wall.

The aura will usually appear first as a light shimmering in the air. This may have a wispy mist-like appearance.

It usually begins with a grayish color. Once you can see this, focus on it, and not the object. When you can see the aura very close to the body, begin to glance around that area. After a time, you will be able to see a larger, more diffuse part.

Aura Colors While many people can see auras, not everyone can see aura colors. This is especially true for beginners. For those that don’t see colors, the aura appears as that shifting, shimmering mist. If color does appear in the aura, focus on the color. It may seem to grow brighter and brighter. Most seers agree that the colors correspond to the nature of the person at that specific time.

Some books will list “color meanings” for the aura. My view is a bit different. Aura colors do have meaning, but, to me, a given color’s meaning depends on the seer. If you associate yellow with happiness, seeing a yellow aura would show that the subject is happy.

We don’t all process color the same way! We tend to absorb cultural associations for certain colors.

Still, everyone has a different view. Keep this in mind when reading the aura! Conclusion I hope this article provides a good beginning for potential aura seers! Developing aura vision is fun and exciting. You can learn about a person (and how to connect with them!) by examining their aura. It can also be helpful for witches and magicians.

It’s a good first step to seeing all kinds of subtle forces. If you can see them, it’s easier to connect with them! Anyways, I hope you’re all having a great day. May your magick be glorious! Why you should love jisung pt.

General Things To Keep In Mind • Not everyone can take extremely harsh criticism. Be mindful of the writer when offering criticism. • Most of what you have to offer is opinionated. Refrain from being a know-it-all and don’t take it as an insult if the author doesn’t take your suggestion. • This writer obviously trusts you. Do not betray that trust.

• When receiving suggestions, keep an open mind and be objective. Your pride is not what you should be focusing on. The end product is more important. • Be appreciative. Whether giving or receiving, your editor is giving their time to help you, and your author is trusting you enough to let you in on something they really care about. Why Constructive Criticism Is Important In the end, the writing you’re doing is not for you. Your writing will be taken in and interpreted by a totally different person, and it can greatly improve your work if you have a sense of how others will digest your writing because you can edit from a more objective point of view and incorporate things that will add to the readers’ experience, as well as remove what may take away from it.

Never underestimate the value of feedback, and do whatever you can to understand your audience. Also, offer your criticism whenever possible to help other writers.

At what point in the process should you seek feedback? In my opinion, you should ask whenever you feel like it, and you should ask for it more than once, from multiple sources.

However, I find that the points in the timeline that prove most useful are in the beginning, when you’re outlining the events and creating characters, during the writing process, to make sure you’re not getting into the habit of filling your story with details that aren’t useful and just bulk up the word count, and at the end, when your first draft is finished and is in dire need of a thorough comb-through. My overall advice is to ask for a second opinion (or 3rd, 4th, etc.) anytime you’re preparing to enter a new phase or start on something you’ll spend a lot of time on. How To Apply Feedback There are so many ways you can apply and utilize suggestions to your work. My favorite method takes about 6 steps: • Make a list of all of the notes your editor left. • Write each individual suggestion on a small sticky note.

• Place them on any part of your manuscript where it may apply. • Take time to read over your manuscript, and remove sticky notes from places you want to leave alone.

• Retype your entire manuscript and make changes as necessary, keeping suggestions in mind. • Have someone else read and repeat the process. This sounds like a lot of work, and it is, but the truth is, editing typically takes a lot more time than the actual writing itself.

I always recommend completely rewriting everything at least once, because you always find so many tiny details to add or remove or make better or more specific or word differently, etc. No matter how many times you rewrite, there will always be something to improve. A lot of writers aim toward a specific word count, and rewriting is the way to achieve that.

Giving Feedback Things To Address When Giving Feedback • Grammar, spelling, format, punctuation, and technical details • WORD CHOICE. If you pause, confused, while reading something, word choice is likely the thing that has thrown you off. Always be picky with word choice. Tone and voice are super important and easy to mess up. • Plausibility.

Would the characters, as you’ve gotten to know them, really say/do/think that? • Make sure you’re honest when the author’s voice peeks out a little too much. • Plot holes?

• Run on sentences and length of paragraphs/chapters • Details that don’t fit in/make sense • Things that weren’t explained • Dialogue that doesn’t flow • Any other things you think need to be reevaluated General Rules Of Courtesy • This writer is sharing their baby with you. Treat it with care and respect. • Make every suggestion with the goal of helping the writer instead of being a know-it-all • The writer probably won’t take all of your advice. Don’t take it personally. • Be as gentle as possible when delivering criticism.

It’s not easy for writers to take. • keep the writer’s vision in mind. Don’t try to manipulate the writer into creating your vision. • Be thorough and as specific as possible.

Pick that thing apart. “it was good” isn’t useful. In Conclusion I am a beta reader, so feel free to send your work to me if you’d like some feedback. You can send your writing to katejoycontact@gmail.com, and you can share google docs to that email as well. Send things you want me to beta-read to katejoycontact@gmail.com Tag things you want me to see with. I’m pretty much a big fan of Azazel (’real’ one) and way back in uni I’ve studied the fallen angels and Watchers a lot.

So, I thought I’d just draw some comparisons here (I really don’t have anything better to do). Be mindful, I’m taking into consideration only the Enochian Azazel, not the desert spirit. Though they might be one and the same. And, yeah, it’s all debatable cause no one can scientifically prove anything anyway.

The Fall Now, that’s a bit of a conjecture, because we don’t know for sure (I didn’t play the game) but is stated that he fell for a human woman. Which could be true because that’s really what happened. In the book of Enoch (grandfather of Noah) Azazel is one of the Watchers - angels tasked with watching (dah) the Earth for god knows what purpose. What they saw though was that daughters of Men were very beautiful and immediately desired them. Their leader Semiazaz gathered his comrades (200 in total, including Azazel) and ventured to Earth where they took them as wives.

Their union produced the Nephilim - hybrids said to be literal giants, extremely powerful (also violent because they couldn’t handle well all that power, according to one theory). That was one grave transgression.

Forbidden secrets Second was, that the fallen angels taught humans secrets not meant for them. Like root-working, astrology, writing, etc.

Azazel taught them metal-working and how to make weapons and fight with them (could have taught that together with another angel though). Well, we know that prick is a proficient fighter. Melee fighter, to be precise, as we witnessed many times. He does rely less on magic and more on his martial skill. Another skill he taught was cosmetics.

I really don’t need to elaborate here lol. Creators of SnB took this part to heart apparently. Anyway, all that secret knowledge corrupted humankind immeasurably, and it is said Azazel really outdid himself spreading that corruption everywhere.

That was probably the inspiration behind his sadistic games with humans in the anime and generally his nasty attitude. I love it though *blush* #3.

Rebellion Well, of course God was furious with insolent whelps and sent other angels to kill Nephilim (publicly, in front of their parents preferably) and punish the Fallen. Which, in turn, sparked the rebellion. Now, that’s where Azazel shined. He spear-headed that rebellion (probably because he was such a skillful warrior) and actually kicked some ass for a time. Alas, it ultimately failed.

Obvious parallel with the current situation in anime. His people being subjugated, he secretly resists, eventually starting full-fledged rebellion, but I think we all agree that it’s not going to work. Now, in the story Raphael personally cut off his wings and imprisoned him beneath the desert mountain to await the Judgement day. I really don’t want it to end like that (though it would be a really dramatic turn of events).

He has such beautiful wings But we all heard what happened to Mugaro and all other captured demons. Horns and wings are the first things to go in the process of enslaving demons. I wouldn’t put it past Charioce to do just that. Btw, Nephilim and the legacy of the fallen angels were washed away with the Flood, because God was fed up with their bullshit. Noah and his family survived because they were the only pure-blooded humans left on Earth. How is that for a familiar tale?

Snakes Truth be told, Azazel is not associated with snakes at all, unless you take into account the symbolism behind snakes in Christianity. Sin and corruption. Also, some attribute the seduction of Eve to Azazel, like, he was the Serpent (he wasn’t even the fallen back then).

But, honestly, let’s leave that to Satan. Association with Lucifer Both Lucifer and Azazel has been classified as aspects of Satan in some sources. Which is not the case in this anime and actually is more accurate, as all three are completely different entities (initially) coming from different cultures and eras. Contrary to this anime though (and many other shows), Lucifer and Azazel have nothing to do with each other. There are debates whether there were two separate rebellions of fallen angels or just one, but who knows which one exactly, so really, let’s skip this confusing part. Anyway, yes, they’re both fallen angels.

But Lucifer fell much earlier for completely different reasons (’Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven’, right?). He is the strongest of the two (probably the strongest among demons) because technically Azazel was rank-and-file angel (albeit powerful one) and Lucifer was a cherub, the highest rank in their hierarchy, second only to god (in another angelic hierarchy it’s seraphim), and privy to most of his secrets. Cherubim have multiple sets of wings. Michael and Gabriel might be cherubim too, but honestly angelology is a mess to navigate I’m pretty sure they are being constantly thrown together cause they are the most popular in the fallen cadre. I mean, how two such awesome dudes could not know each other?! That being said I WANT MORE LUCIFER! The matter of his current imprisonmnet is quite merky, because it doesn’t stop Azazel from spreading his influence as a demon.

According to some demonology sources he is a very high-ranking demon, (apparenlty his abilities expanded vastly after the fall). And Hell Cocytus is such a fun place to make friends that I’m really not surprised Lucifer and Azazel became pals. Conclusion I really love Azazel lol. His character is quite consistent with his prototype, but I hope he’ll have a happy ending instead.

I’m really looking forward to learn more about his past (and Lucifer’s). WARNING: OSANA SPOILERS. THEORY TIME: Senpai has hearing problems! Kidding, Kidding.

But I’m beginning to think he’s not very intelligent in the love department. I watched this video around 8:00 this morning, but I was SO tired, I watched it and went back to bed after it ended.

So I’m rushing to get a post in before I have to get to work in an hour. While there are still some missing pieces involving Osana, Yandere Dev’s video offers a new perspective on her. Though I was aware that Osana is a tsundere, I wasn’t really thinking how sweet Osana was capable of being. I almost feel guilty for hating her almost.

(But I love to hate her.) This also shows a little perspective on Senpai. He’s not as ‘bland’ as I originally believed he would be. We see more of his personality in this video. Regarding him saying “Huh?

What did you say?” So many times, I believe that is why Osana is so bitter towards him. She keeps trying to drop these hints and he’s completely oblivious to it. With this idea in mind, I can’t really blame her for acting the way she does. I also wonder if Osana will have some sort of suspicion meter implemented.

She knows she didn’t take the lewd photos, or pushing the book in the water, or say that about senpai during her conversation with Musume (though in the event, it doesn’t show her listening to it.) Maybe she will have her guard up more as the week goes on, which will make things more difficult for Ayano? “ILOVEYOUMORETHANANYTHINGELSEINTHEWORLD!” The confession cutscene is just beautiful. Seeing the rival confess through Senpai’s eyes is a really interesting perspective, and I really caught the feels while watching it. And I feel so bad when Osana is rejected. Ayano’s evil smirk is just fantastic, and snapped me right out of it, though. Her smile looks a little strange but I still rate it 10/10! The “Mysterious Obstacle” I’m positive that this person is not Hanako, which was an idea I was tossing around briefly.

She is not a student of Akademi High, and can’t really spend all of her time with Osana if she doesn’t make her first appearance until week 9. There isn’t really any evidence that could point it to her.

Though she is ruled out pretty easily, I think that the student is a whole new person that nobody knows anything about. Conclusion I think I saw the animation bugs Yandere Dev mentioned, but I don’t feel it’s anything extreme. I’m not a game designer or a developer by any stretch, but I don’t think it would take a huge amount of time to clean up a little bit.

There’s more what I want to say, but I can’t exactly put it into words, so I’ll try my best. I am looking so forward to Osana, but my views on her are different. Yandere Dev can claim that this video is anti-climactic all he wants to, but I feel more confident about Yandere Simulator’s potential than ever.

We now see raw emotions in the characters, and some good hints of the overall vision for the game. Though I have always considered myself a violent player up to this point, I’m going to have a very hard time not getting emotionally invested in the rivals if they’re as sweet as Osana (when she’s sweet, anyway.) This game is going to be a real trip when it comes out.
