#time limit has quickly become a deadline

[raven-at-the-writing-desk]

Well, seeing as we are nearing the end of book 7 (Please?), I've been reflecting over the dreams and my thoughts about them, and it can basically be summed up as, "This could've been an email." Like don't get me wrong, I'm freaking out about Malleus but at the same time I'm so ready for book 7 to be over and to move on with the story. Even saying my criticisms (chaotic dream pacing cough cough Lilia, explanations that are too vague, etc.) Feels like beating a dead horse at this point. I wish they had added some sense of urgency to the story to hurry it along too. Maybe add a time limit to how long they can spend in a dream, or maybe they could include a deadline of a week before things go to shit, idk.

I'm remaining optimistic as always because I love twst so much and always will, but man. If we have another 100 parts of untrimmed fat to go through I may pass away from old age.

I think there's nobility in trying to keep optimistic about a hobby/interest, but I also think that there shouldn't be anything wrong with critiquing what you enjoy. It comes from a place of love and wanting that hobby/interest to be better because you care about it so much! So really, I encourage everyone to critique as they wish.

I kept track and did the math because I'm silly:

Yuu/Grim's dream spans 7-40 to 7-43 and 7-51 (5 parts)

Sebek's dream spans 7-51 to 7-54 (4 parts; 1 part has overlap with Yuu/Grim)

Lilia's dream spans 7-55 to 7-100 (46 parts, but feels much longer due to this segment having multiple battle maps)

Idia's dream includes 7-38, 7-39, and 7-109 to 7-116 (10 parts)

Epel's dream spans 7-120 to 7-123 (4 parts)

Rook's dream spans 7-124 to 7-130 (7 parts)

Vil's dream spans 7-131 to 7-139 (9 parts)

Kalim's dream spans 7-140 to 7-146 (7 parts)

Jamil's dream spans 7-147 to 7-157 (11 parts)

Floyd's dream spans 7-158 to 7-165 (8 parts)

Jade's dream spans 7-166 to 7-173 (8 parts)

Azul's dream spans 7-174 to 7-191 (18 parts)

Jack's dream spans 7-192 to 7-202 (11 parts)

Ruggie's dream spans 7-203 to 7-211 (9 parts)

Leona's dream spans 7-212 to 7-226 (15 parts)

Deuce's dream spans 7-227 to 7-235 (9 parts)

Cater's dream spans 7-236 to 8-244 (9 parts)

Ace's dream spans 7-245 to 7-256 (12 parts)

Trey's dream spans 7-257 to 7-268 (12 parts)

Riddle's dream spans 7-269 to 7-280 and 7-283 to 7-294 (24 parts, but 7-286 has 12 portions and not 1 portion so the true number is closer to 35)

Averaging that out, that means a character's dream to waking segment takes ~12 parts (rounded down from 12.4) 💀 but of course we have outliers like Sebek and Epel, who only have only 4 parts and Riddle (that glory hog/j) taking up an ABSURD 35 parts, which is almost triple the average.

I think the dreams were definitely novelties around the time they initially come out. We get fanservice and the high of speculating what the dreams could mean for each dreamer. But then as more time passes and that excitement wears off, we start to scrutinize these segments a lot more. We start to realize how the pacing is extremely uneven, how they keep overcomplicating or reexplaining how the dreams operate, and/or how Malleus has not been present since 7-112. Lilia hasn’t been present since even further back, in 7-100. The devs should have cut back to Malleus and Lilia’s brawl to catch up with them between dream hopping from one dorm to the next. The repeating patterns (like how each boy uses their UM once, how the boys from the previous dorm stay behind to let the OB boy jump into the next dorm's dreams, etc.) quickly become repetitive and predictable. We become annoyed with how none of the characters seem to be acting with urgency; they often stand around talking about funny experiences or their families or whatever when they should be investigating seriously because they don't know how much time they have left before Malleus's magic shrouds all of Twisted Wonderland. They really should have added a cap to how long they can spend in each dream or how long they have until it's Too Late for the world. It feels like there are no stakes when the characters are wasting time watching Rook's Vil and Neige fancams or eating a bunch of cakes in Cater's courtroom. The devs only started to change up these formulas WAY too late (around like Savanaclaw???), like having the freshly woken dreamer attack us (Jack), having a very depressing dream (Leona), Malleus becoming relevant again (Riddle), NPCs helping us instead of harming us (Leona and Riddle), etc.

At this point, I'm SO tired and I just want book 7 to be done and over with (good luck to EN only players experiencing this for the first time) OTL Here's to hoping we don't have to sit through another useless 100 parts of Nothing... The end of the book 7 chapter 12 part 3 (yeesh, that's a mouthful) update gives me some hope at least; it looks like there's going to be actual danger moving forward!

Writer tag game

I wasn’t tagged, but I saw the game via @coyote-nebula and want to play anyway!

1. how many works do you have on AO3?

43 works

2. what's your total AO3 word count?

148,937

3. what fandoms do you write for?

Right now just Detroit: Become Human

4. what are your top 5 fics by kudos?

tell the shades apart (my world is black and white)

Reflection

The 43rd Hour

Holding On

these dead roses bloom once more

5. do you respond to comments?

All of the comments with substance, yes!

6. what is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Brushing aside works that contain canonical character death, probably a place where the water touches the sky, even though it’s an ambiguous ending.

7. what's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

I don’t know if there’s one with an ending that’s more definitively happy than everything else, but bombshell has a very fun, flirty ending.

8. do you get hate on fics?

No outright hate, but I have received a handful of comments that basically amounted to “what you wrote in this story isn’t to my tastes and I'm going to tell you why you should've written what I wanted to read,” which. Y’know. Dldr 🙃

9. do you write smut? If so, what kind?

I do, though I’ve never publicly posted anything more explicit than a fade-to-black. Mostly I’ve written collaborative scenes with friends, either full-blown role-play style or more spur-of-the-moment snapshots than highly structured, fully fleshed out scenes. If I’m writing by myself, I tend to lean harder toward sensual and less toward outright E-rated PWP.

10. do you write crossovers?

Not in the strictest sense, although I’ve thrown ideas around with friends, absolutely. I’m more inclined to full-on AUs (e.g., the DBH characters in the Star Wars universe but not interacting with all of the canon SW characters). I tend to lose interest in projects too quickly to sustain crossovers or AUs of significant size.

11. have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not to my knowledge!

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

No.

13. Have you ever cowritten a fic before?

Absolutely, it's actually my preferred way to write.

14. What's your all-time favorite ship?

Starkiller/Juno was a formative one for me.

15. What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you will?

The Skyrim rewrite. I have a solid 25,000-plus words hanging around, but they barely scratch the surface of the canon story, and I don’t play the game anymore, so. It languishes. I occasionally reread the Battle of Whiterun scene I wrote, though, because I do love it v much.

16. What are your writing strengths?

A tightly bound trinity of subtext, showing instead of telling, and descriptions. I always joke I never write text, I only write subtext. Learning how to tell sometimes instead of showing everything has been. a struggle. When I know the characters really well and can hear them clearly, my dialogue’s also excellent.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Follow-through’s the biggest one. I tend to get bored and thus uninspired fairly easily, so I usually need a strict externally imposed deadline or someone (like a coauthor) who’s otherwise waiting on my finishing a given piece for me to push through to the end. Plotting the final quarter of stories tends to give me a lot of trouble if I don’t come up with the ending right away. If I don’t know where I’m aiming, I wander aimlessly before almost inevitably moving on to another project. This is why most of my solo projects are relatively small.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

Nuclear launch codes. No, seriously, it can work so, so, SO well, in VERY limited, bite-size pieces. Unless the work is intended for readers who are familiar with the languages being used, I prefer to see alternate languages used as flavor text only.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Probably Star Wars? Self-insert territory ahoy 😂

20. Favourite fic you've written?

Am I allowed to say a WIP that most people haven’t seen? No? Probably thermal equilibria, chapter two specifically. The dialogue tickles me every time I reread it.

I tag @druidx, @wamblings, @ltcolonelcarter, @audreycritter, and anyone else who wants to play!

Sammy being joeys assistant headcanons?

Alright! Since we've already had asks about Sammy helping Joey with eldritch magic specifically, I'm going to try and make this one more canon-compliant. Here we go!

-Sammy had long struggled to retain employment before Joey Drew Studios thanks to his attitude and angry outbursts. Joey tried to make Sammy feel like he understood him and would give him the recognition that no one else would. As a result, Sammy was ready to do anything to keep his position, even things he wasn't totally comfortable with. Be Joey's personal assistant for job security and a big pay raise? Well, who was he to say no?

-Sammy's assistant duties were essentially whatever Joey decided he needed in the moment. Joey needs someone to stay late so he can bounce ideas off of him? Someone to do his grocery shopping because he has other things to do? Cover someone's shift to make deadlines? Just some companionship? Sammy was the first person he asked.

-One of Sammy's assistant duties was spying on anyone Joey was paranoid of, especially GENT. Sammy recorded a lot of information about how GENT were creating life and whatnot, but Joey didn't care about the how, only that life was being created. Sammy learned fairly quickly to keep his concerns about GENT to himself, as they would only fall on deaf ears. He also pried for information on some other employees that Joey was paranoid of, such as Dot and Norman, on Joey's orders. Joey's paranoia caused some loud, dramatic fights between the two of them.

-One positive to being Joey's assistant: Joey caught on to Sammy's ink illness and managed to get Sammy treated. Sammy still has delusions and hallucinations at times and was left with limited stamina and immune system, but Joey was able to keep Sammy's illness from getting worse and destroying his body and sanity. It's become another point of "only I can understand you and put up with you."

-After the studio shut down, Joey was desperate to keep any trace of the old studio near. That included Sammy. By now, Sammy had disabilities from ink and truly did believe that no one else was likely to put up with him, so he followed Joey to other ventures. Joey's TV show included music written by Sammy, and the crew knew to come to Sammy when Joey was going through his hallucinations. By this point, they were living together and attached at the hip. Thankfully, however, Sammy never put on the glasses as both of them were afraid of what it might do considering Sammy's pre-existing conditions.

-While Joey never hurt Sammy while hallucinating, it was still terrifying for Sammy. Eventually, Sammy left while Joey was having an episode and went to his family to try and sort his life out. It had all just become too frightening for him to stay, no matter what leaving might mean for his life.

HCs for Kabuto with a fragile assistant, who is usually rather stressedd and often suffers from migraines, and likes him a bit? But olyn his nice side.

Thank you for the request, Anon.

I can absolutely do that.

Here’s a few HC’s I’ve come up with for that:

⬇️

• Kabuto is a very work efficient man, he’s a protectionist and likes to complete things as quickly as possible rather than leaving them unfinished for too long even if there’s no deadline.

• If he finds that his assistant is becoming stressed or overwhelmed with work, he will also become stressed since work might not be able to be done in the time frame Kabuto has set for himself and if it’s not done then it will ruin the rest of his plans.

• But he acknowledges that working in research and science can be very stressful and difficult at times, he knows he shouldn’t waste any time worrying and will immediately comfort his assistant as soon as possible.

“Hey now, you seem quite uncomfortable. Is there anything I can do to help so that we can get this project out of the way?”

• He will encourage them to do their studies by doing it with them to make it easier or by doing his own studies beside them to keep them company.

•Like a teacher or mentor, he will guide them but won’t do their work for them as he feels his assistant needs to do it themselves to learn from it.

“Like this— Now, I can’t do it for you but I can certainly help you figure it out yourself.”

• Theres a couple of ways Kabuto may be helpful. If he feels they are distracted or unfocused he will let them do it on their own time.

“Don’t stress about it. How about you do this whenever you can? Yes, I know you have a lot left to do but nothing will be done if we spend time panicking. Do a little today and by this week you’ll have completed all of it.”

• For migraine, headaches, or issues with pain, he will make sure they are properly cared for before they return back to work.

“A migraine? Well then, let’s take a break and I will get you some medication to help. Why don’t you go lay down for now? I can’t have you working when you’re not at your best now can I?”

• He does not like to have his assistant work when they themselves are not doing well, however, he may push them a little even if they’re uncomfortable but usually he can tell how far he can push their limits.

“I see you’re having trouble, hm? I’m sure you can do it. I’m sure that after your done you’ll be rewarded with a nice rest.”

• After working, he’ll praise them for their efforts.

“You did a great job today. I’m glad you where able to keep yourself on track even when you felt like you couldn’t.”

• Depending on how he’s feeling after he’s completed his own research for the day, he may reward his assistant with a message to ease any tension in their back or may spend time with them.

I apologize if there’s any grammatical error. I’m an insomniac and I’m exhausted out of my mind. (T⌓T)

Optimizing Your Office Email Solution: A Comprehensive Guide

Email has become an essential tool for communication in the modern workplace. However, with the increasing volume of emails being sent and received, it can easily become overwhelming and time-consuming. Inefficient email management can result in missed deadlines, miscommunication, and a decrease in productivity. Therefore, it is essential to optimize your office email solution to ensure that you can manage your inbox effectively.

This comprehensive guide will provide you with practical tips and strategies for optimizing your office email solution. From choosing the right email platform to organizing your inbox for maximum efficiency, we will cover all aspects of email management. By following the best practices and implementing the strategies outlined in this guide, you will be able to streamline your workflow, save time, and improve your communication with colleagues and clients.

Choosing the Right Email Platform for Your Needs

The selection of an appropriate email platform is essential, and how to optimize office email solution that can greatly enhance productivity and efficiency. To achieve optimal performance, there are several key considerations to keep in mind. Firstly, it is crucial to evaluate the specific requirements and constraints of your organization and thoroughly assess the available options in the market. When it comes to email security, prioritize platforms that offer robust features like encryption, spam filtering, and malware protection to safeguard sensitive information. Additionally, integrating your email with other business applications, such as CRM or project management tools, can streamline workflows and improve overall productivity. When choosing an email platform, factors like scalability, customization options, and ease of use should be considered, as they greatly impact user satisfaction and adoption. By following these optimization strategies, you can ensure that your chosen email platform aligns with your organization's goals, facilitates seamless communication, and fosters effective collaboration among team members.

Organizing Your Inbox for Maximum Efficiency

Efficient inbox organization is a crucial aspect of managing email communication in a professional setting, as it allows for streamlined access to important messages and reduces the risk of overlooking critical information. One approach to organizing your inbox is by categorizing emails based on their content or sender, which can help you quickly identify and prioritize messages that require immediate attention. Additionally, prioritizing tasks within your inbox can help you stay on top of deadlines, ensure timely responses, and avoid missing important meetings or appointments. However, managing email overload and avoiding burnout is equally important, and this can be achieved by setting aside dedicated time for email management, limiting the number of emails you send and receive, and being mindful of the impact of email on your mental health and productivity. By adopting these strategies, you can optimize your office email solution and achieve greater efficiency, productivity, and satisfaction in your work.

Setting Up Filters and Rules to Automate Your Workflow

Automating email workflow through the use of filters and rules can be a valuable tool for enhancing productivity and streamlining the management of email communication. Email automation can save time and increase efficiency by automatically sorting and prioritizing incoming messages, flagging important emails, and even responding to certain types of messages. Productivity hacks such as setting up filters to move emails from certain senders or with specific keywords to designated folders, or creating rules to automatically forward emails to the appropriate team member, can help reduce the time spent sifting through a cluttered inbox. By implementing these automation techniques, employees can focus on important tasks and improve their overall productivity. It is important to remember that while automation can be helpful, it is crucial to regularly review and adjust the filters and rules to ensure that important emails are not overlooked or lost in the shuffle.

Creating Templates for Common Messages

Developing standardized message templates can enhance communication efficiency and consistency within an organization. Personalizing templates with relevant information such as recipient's name, company name, and product/service details can make the communication more personalized while maintaining consistency. By creating templates for common messages, employees can save time and effort in drafting repetitive emails. This can lead to increased productivity and faster response times. Additionally, tracking responses to these templates can help identify areas for improvement and gauge the effectiveness of the messaging. By analyzing response rates and the content of responses, organizations can refine their templates to better meet the needs of their audience. Overall, creating standardized message templates can improve communication efficiency and consistency while also allowing for personalization and tracking of responses.

Best Practices for Email Etiquette and Communication

The Best Practices for Email Etiquette and Communication section provides valuable insights to improve the quality of professional correspondence, such as the fact that miscommunication costs businesses an estimated $37 billion in lost productivity annually. To avoid such losses, netiquette tips and effective communication strategies should be implemented. These include avoiding the use of all caps, using clear and concise language, avoiding sensitive topics, and ensuring that the tone is professional and respectful. Additionally, it is important to proofread before sending an email, including checking for grammar and spelling errors, as well as ensuring that the message is being sent to the correct recipient. By following these best practices, individuals can improve their email communication skills and avoid potential misunderstandings or negative perceptions from colleagues or clients.

Conclusion

In conclusion, optimizing your office email solution requires a strategic approach that takes into account your specific needs and workflow. Choosing the right email platform, organizing your inbox, setting up filters and rules, creating templates, and following best practices for email etiquette are all essential components of a comprehensive email optimization strategy.

By implementing these strategies, you can streamline your workflow, save time and energy, and communicate more effectively with your colleagues and clients. Additionally, you can reduce the risk of communication errors, misunderstandings, and missed deadlines, ultimately improving your overall productivity and success.

In light of these benefits, it is important to take the time to evaluate your current email practices and identify areas for improvement. Ask yourself: how can I optimize my email solution to better serve my needs and those of my team? With a little effort and attention to detail, you can transform your email experience from a source of stress and frustration to a powerful tool for success.

How to Efile and Erecord Renewal of Judgment Efficiently

Efiling and erecording the renewal of judgment is a vital process for ensuring that legal claims remain enforceable across the country. As judgments are enforceable for a limited time in most jurisdictions, parties must initiate the renewal process before the expiration date to maintain their legal rights. The process begins with understanding the specific requirements of the jurisdiction where the judgment was originally issued. Efile and erecord renewal of judgment allows individuals and organizations to manage this process efficiently and accurately by leveraging technology to streamline documentation, reduce errors, and avoid delays.

The first step in efile renewal of judgment is gathering all the necessary documents, including the original judgment order and any supporting paperwork required by local rules. Jurisdictions often mandate specific forms, which must be completed with precise details such as the case number, debtor’s information, and the original judgment amount. Once the forms are prepared, the efile renewal of judgment process can be initiated through the appropriate court’s electronic filing system. These platforms are designed to simplify submission, ensuring that legal professionals and individuals alike can comply with procedural deadlines without the need for physical court visits.

Erecord renewal of judgment complements the efiling process by creating a permanent digital record of the renewed judgment. After successfully filing, the court or relevant authority will validate the renewal and ensure it is recorded in the system for future reference. This step is crucial for maintaining enforceability and ensuring that the judgment remains a matter of public record. By using efile and erecord renewal of judgment systems, parties can quickly verify the status of their renewal and avoid potential disputes about its validity.

Online renewal of judgment has become increasingly popular due to its convenience and time-saving benefits. Traditional methods of judgment renewal often required lengthy paperwork, in-person visits to court offices, and extended waiting periods for approval. In contrast, the efile and erecord renewal of judgment process provides a seamless, digital alternative that minimizes administrative burdens. Additionally, many courts now offer user-friendly online portals that guide users through each step of the renewal process, ensuring compliance with applicable rules and regulations.

For individuals or businesses managing multiple cases, efile and erecord renewal of judgment systems offer tools to track deadlines, generate automated reminders, and manage filings across various jurisdictions. This centralized approach reduces the risk of missed deadlines, which could render a judgment unenforceable. Furthermore, the digital nature of efile renewal of judgment allows users to access their case history and documents at any time, providing added transparency and control over the process.

In some cases, judgment renewal may involve additional steps, such as serving notice to the debtor or obtaining court approval for specific terms. Understanding these requirements is essential to ensure the success of the efile and erecord renewal of judgment process. Many courts provide detailed instructions and resources to assist users, and consulting with legal professionals can further enhance efficiency and accuracy. By adhering to these guidelines, parties can avoid common pitfalls, such as incomplete filings or missed procedural deadlines.

Erecord renewal of judgment not only secures the legal enforceability of a claim but also strengthens a party’s position in potential collection efforts. Creditors who renew their judgments through efiling and recording demonstrate a proactive approach to safeguarding their rights, which can serve as a deterrent to debtors seeking to avoid payment. Moreover, the use of online renewal of judgment tools aligns with modern legal standards, emphasizing efficiency, accuracy, and accessibility.

As more jurisdictions adopt efiling and erecording systems, the benefits of transitioning to these methods become increasingly apparent. The efile and erecord renewal of judgment process eliminates the need for physical storage of paper records, reducing environmental impact and lowering costs associated with document management. Additionally, courts equipped with digital systems can process filings more quickly, resulting in shorter turnaround times for approvals and updates.

In conclusion, the efile and erecord renewal of judgment process is a critical tool for maintaining the enforceability of legal claims. By embracing technology, parties can streamline the renewal process, reduce administrative burdens, and ensure compliance with jurisdictional requirements. Whether handling a single case or managing multiple filings, leveraging efile renewal of judgment and erecord renewal of judgment systems offers significant advantages in terms of efficiency, accuracy, and convenience. As the legal landscape continues to evolve, adopting online renewal of judgment practices will remain essential for individuals and businesses seeking to protect their rights effectively.

Massive Russian hack on government database shows cracks in Ukraine's digitalization drive

At the start of December, Ukrainians suddenly found themselves unable to sell cars, file legal claims, or register marriages through Ukraine’s recently digitized government registries.

Cybersecurity specialist and frequent coordinator of Ukrainian hackers, Karla Wagner, noticed when she went to register an NGO through the Ukrainian Justice Ministry.

“I was getting inconsistent results from the Justice Ministry website; I was able to submit the document, but I was not able to digitally sign it. And at first, I was annoyed because I’m thinking, yeah, this is a crappy system,” says Wagner.

“I was getting different results every time, from timeouts to errors to ‘something didn’t seem to work right, please try again later.’”

The Justice Ministry on Dec. 19 formally announced that a Russian hack had taken a laundry list of critical government databases that had been put under the Justice Ministry offline. The databases contain sensitive information from property ownership to biometric data to tax records.

Relevant Ukrainian offices quickly called it an act of war from Russia. “The information space is one of the key directions of the enemy’s attacks,” wrote the State Communications Service, the national cybersecurity agency, in a statement provided to the Kyiv Independent.

“Russian hackers, who have become full-fledged participants in this war, are constantly getting better, improving their toolkits, tactics and strategy of operations.” The statement contained no information on the technical details as to how the systems were compromised.

XakNet, a hacking group previously tied to Russian intelligence, took credit for the attack, posting on Telegram data they claim to have hacked from the Ukrainian civil registry. The hackers claimed to have deleted at least some of the registry data.

The Justice Ministry has since announced that all its state registries were ready to operate but that access to some registers was still limited, as their data still needs to be updated. Access to government services through the Diia app would be available in the near future, the ministry said on Jan. 20.

The hack posed a major informational threat, highlighting how vulnerable government and Ukrainians’ personal data is to cyber attacks. In pushing to digitize its services quickly, the government also may have taken shortcuts that opened the door to digital onslaughts. Attacks of these kinds also erode public trust in the government, experts say.

The core problem, as Wagner diagnoses, was the pace at which Ukraine rewired systems ranging from passports to tax payments into a single digital portal, all under the auspices of the Justice Ministry, in order to show positive results to foreign observers.

“It was very, very, very, very, very fast progress,” says Wagner. “And any IT project that has the heat on to make fast progress will cut corners where needed and save resources where needed with the best of intentions, which is meeting the deadlines and satisfying the requirements. (That) created not only a long string of vulnerabilities but also over-centralization in tech admin infrastructure.”

Mykyta Knysh, who formerly worked in cybersecurity for Ukraine’s security services, the SBU, and currently runs the hacking collective “HackYourMama,” says the agencies involved should have known better.

“I understand that the Justice Ministry doesn’t necessarily have to have this kind of expertise, but the State Office of Security and Communications, the Digital Transformation Ministry, the SBU — they should have that expertise,” says Knysh.

What was hacked and what the hackers could do next

Hardly the most eye-catching of Russia’s military operations against Ukraine since the full-scale invasion, the attack nonetheless presents a serious threat to Ukraine’s security.

“If the Russians occupy more territory they can use that information, maybe to threaten or blackmail or defraud people who fall under them,” says Knysh.

Knysh hails from Kupiansk, a town in eastern Kharkiv Oblast that currently lies within five miles of Russian positions.

The registries attacked included information like individuals’ addresses and assets, as well as familial relationships. It is not yet known whether the hackers involved have actually re-written the information for certain civilians. Knysh fears the hackers may have forged digital identities to grant Russian agents access to the front.

The hack “provides opportunities for Russian intelligence to obtain additional information about Ukrainian military and civilian government employees, and identify vulnerable or otherwise suitable people in Ukraine who can be recruited or coerced into conducting espionage activities and sabotage,” analysts at cybersecurity firm Flashpoint wrote in a comments to the Kyiv Independent.

The hack “provides opportunities for Russian intelligence to obtain additional information about Ukrainian military and civilian government employees, and identify vulnerable or otherwise suitable people in Ukraine who can be recruited or coerced into conducting espionage activities and sabotage.”

“However, more likely uses of such information include conducting future cyberattacks on other organizations in Ukraine using the information from public registries for reconnaissance, identity theft, social engineering, doxxing, harassment, and crafting convincing phishing emails,” Flashpoint wrote.

Oleh Burba, who works as a component leader for EU4DigitalUA and coordinates registry integration says that while anything is theoretically possible if Russians have the access, there is currently no confirmed information they have changed anything in the registries.

Though any such impacts have yet to materialize, the attack has already proved a major inconvenience to civil society, which Wagner sees as the biggest issue.

“You attack the Justice Ministry and the day-to-day business of government cannot go on,” says Wagner. “Okay, nobody's going to die if I can't register my NGO. But it erodes confidence in the Ukrainian government.”

"You attack the Justice Ministry and the day-to-day business of government cannot go on."

For Russia, Wagner considers it an extension of a propaganda war, similar to bombardments of Ukrainian national monuments.

“You don't need to hit strategic targets in a country. All you have to do is make it appear to be ungovernable.”

XakNet hackers also claimed to have destroyed backup data in servers in Poland. In its message the hacker group mocks Ukraine’s government, saying: “It’s very telling to store government data on foreign storage — that’s what independence Ukrainian-style looks like, apparently.”

Single point of failure

The systems affected were under the umbrella of massive digitization of government services that has taken place under the administration of President Volodymyr Zelensky, particularly his Digital Transformation Minister Mikhail Fedorov.

This digitization has been enormously popular, largely seen as reducing opportunities for low-level corruption among a patchwork of regional agencies ruled by unscrupulous bureaucrats.

But cybersecurity experts question the wisdom of the technical centralization of these systems within one office, with Knysh jokingly dubbing Fedorov’s agency the “Digital Degradation Ministry.”

“At the beginning of the full-scale invasion we realized that Ukraine's digital infrastructure was overly centralized, according to the old Soviet model,” says Wagner. “Centralization and single points of failure are a well-known anti-pattern. And it's highly vulnerable.”

“Centralization and single points of failure are a well-known anti-pattern. And it's highly vulnerable.”

“My personal opinion was that (the hack) was through this system, ‘Trembita,’“ says Knysh. Trembita is a core data management system that provides the backend for government systems, specifically Diia, an app that has digitized government services like passports and tax paying.

Knysh helped organize a hack on Russia’s government services portal last year that among other impacts, immobilized digital voting.

Independent hackers have been warning government agencies about the centralization of everyone’s information under Diia since 2021.

Trembita manages the digital communication between different registries. “Trembita is a trip by rail,” wrote Burba in an op-ed for Economic Pravda defending the system in May, describing the registries as cities, their digital links as railroads, and individual identifying codes as tickets.

“Trembita specifically in this situation was not damaged or broken, it functioned just as it should have functioned and protected the information exchange between these registries,” Burba told the Kyiv Independent.

Knysh is especially concerned that authorities provided no details on the hack, citing “a whole monopoly on what they are saying.” Given that hackers re-use hacking techniques, he was concerned for other nations.

It’s not a problem limited to the Zelensky cyber team and Digital Transformation Ministry. Having worked for the Ukrainian SBU under the Poroshenko administration, Knysh says “Poroshenko was almost just the same,” and acknowledged the need for a stronger digitized and federalized system of managing data.

“Before Trembita, there was total chaos,” says Knysh. “But then they said ‘you will have a government of smartphones’ and now we have a government of smartphones open to the SBU and HUR,” he continued, referencing Ukrainian intelligence agencies.

Hackers can find backdoors left open to governments, as for example a series of legal battles to compel Apple to extract data for U.S. intelligence agencies laid out.

Officials are touting an overhaul, with Justice Minister Olha Stefanishyna dubbing a pending rebuild into a “Pentagon of registries.”

What exactly a “Pentagon of registries” means is unclear. For Wagner, it’s fairly simple: “Nothing.”

“It’s not an emotionally mature approach,” says Wagner, miming beating her chest.

“I heard this (Pentagon of Registries) and I thought, “Go out and say honestly, ‘we don’t know how to make a safe system.’”

Top 7 Certifications and Tools for Project Management Excellence

Technology breakthroughs, changing corporate environments, and the increasing complexity of international projects have significantly impacted the project management sector over time. The need for qualified project managers has never been higher as businesses worldwide work to improve their project management skills. New trends in project management courses are being driven by this expanding requirement, with an emphasis on giving professionals the know-how and abilities they need to oversee successful projects in a setting that is becoming more and more dynamic.

We will discuss the finest project management certification and tool alternatives for prospective project leaders in this blog.

1. Agile Project Management

In recent years, agile project management has become incredibly popular, particularly in fields like marketing, IT, and software development. Agile approaches, with their focus on adaptability, iterative development, and teamwork, are quickly becoming a necessary component of project management education. Agile frameworks like Scrum, Kanban, and Lean are increasingly incorporated into the curricula of many schools, enabling project managers to handle complex projects with more flexibility.

The PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) certification is one of the most sought-after credentials for individuals looking to specialize in Agile. Additionally, there are more and more agile project management courses available, giving professionals the skills they need to oversee projects in a dynamic, fast-paced setting.

2. Hybrid Project Management Methodologies

Many project managers are using hybrid approaches, which combine classic Waterfall processes with Agile methodologies, as firms struggle to manage projects with a variety of requirements and limitations. More flexibility is possible with this hybrid paradigm while still preserving the structure needed for intricate tasks.

To prepare students for the wide variety of projects they might come across, project management courses are now starting to incorporate these hybrid approaches into their curricula. Project managers can become more adaptable and successful leaders by knowing both traditional and Agile methodologies and choosing the best methodology for each project they manage.

3. Leadership and Soft Skills

Modern project management courses are increasingly emphasizing the development of soft skills and leadership, even though technical knowledge is still crucial. Successful project management requires a strong team, conflict-resolution skills, emotional intelligence, and effective communication. Consequently, top project management organizations are adding these competencies to their training curricula and certifications.

This change has been acknowledged by the Project Management Institute (PMI), which provides certifications such as the Project Management Professional (PMP) and the Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM), which emphasize interpersonal and leadership abilities in addition to technical expertise. The increasing understanding that effective project leadership involves managing people and relationships just as much as controlling procedures and deadlines is reflected in this trend.

4. Digital Tools and Technology Integration

It is now essential to include technology in project management. From planning and scheduling to execution and monitoring, project management tools and software are now an essential component of the project management lifecycle. Asana, Jira, Trello, Microsoft Project, and other tools are revolutionizing project management.

Project management courses are changing to include instruction on the newest project management software as businesses continue to be shaped by digital change. These days, professionals are learning how to use these tools to improve teamwork, monitor advancement, and make informed judgments. To help applicants stay up to date with the most recent advancements in the profession, the top project management certifications now include modules on digital technologies.

5. Sustainability and Environmental Considerations

Sustainability is increasingly becoming a major project management priority as environmental concerns increase and businesses look to lower their carbon impact. An increasing trend in project planning and execution is the integration of sustainability, from technological efforts to construction projects.

To help professionals understand how to manage projects with an eye on the environment and society, several project management schools are increasingly including sustainability principles in their curricula. Project managers are required to be knowledgeable about sustainable methods, and certifications like LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) are becoming more and more popular.

6. Microlearning and Flexible Learning Paths

The emergence of digital platforms has increased the flexibility and accessibility of learning. A major trend in project management training is microlearning, or learning in brief, concentrated spurts. Busy professionals can master particular skills or concepts more quickly using this method.

Many institutions now include online modules, webinars, and microlearning opportunities in addition to conventional, lengthy project management courses. Project managers can upskill at their own pace with these options, enabling professionals worldwide to pursue continuous learning.

7. Increased Focus on Risk Management

Risk management is now a crucial component of project management in the uncertain corporate world of today. It is becoming more and more necessary for project managers to recognize, evaluate, and reduce risks at every stage of the project's lifespan.

With credentials like the PMI Risk Management Professional (PMI-RMP) certification assisting project managers in gaining the skills necessary to effectively manage uncertainty, risk management courses are becoming increasingly specialized. Nowadays, risk management is viewed as a key capability that can determine whether a project succeeds or fails, rather than as a side project.

Conclusion

Project management has a bright future since new approaches and trends are constantly changing the way projects are organized, carried out, and completed. Professionals must stay ahead of the curve as the field changes by enrolling in courses that reflect the most recent trends in the business and obtaining top project management credentials. Agile, digital technologies, and sustainability are just a few of the many ways you can develop your project management skills and become a more capable leader.

Pursuing certifications like the Project Management Professional (PMP) from the Project Management Institute can lead to new opportunities and career breakthroughs for individuals seeking to advance their careers and obtain recognized credentials.

Essential Steps to Take After a Car Accident in Missouri

The moments following a car accident can be chaotic and overwhelming. As experienced Missouri car accident attorneys, we've guided countless clients through this challenging time. Understanding the right steps to take can protect both your health and legal rights.

Immediate Actions at the Accident Scene

Your first priority after any accident is safety. Move to a safe location if possible and check for injuries. Call 911 immediately if anyone is hurt or if there's significant property damage. According to our St. Louis car accident attorneys, these initial moments are crucial for both your safety and any future legal claims.

While waiting for law enforcement, begin documenting the scene. Take photos of all vehicles involved, including damage, license plates, and their positions on the road. Gather contact information from other drivers and any witnesses. Remember to get the responding officer's name and badge number for your records.

Seeking Medical Attention

Even if you feel fine, seek medical attention promptly. Some injuries, particularly those involving the spine or brain, may not show immediate symptoms. Our spinal cord injury lawyers often see cases where delayed treatment leads to more serious complications.

Keep detailed records of all medical visits, treatments, and any prescribed medications. Document any pain or symptoms you experience, as this information can be crucial for your insurance claim or legal case.

Reporting the Accident

Missouri law requires reporting certain accidents to the authorities. Obtain an accident report as soon as possible, as this official documentation can be vital for your case. Your insurance company will also require notification of the accident, but be cautious about making statements about fault.

Dealing with Insurance Companies

Contact your insurance company to report the accident, but keep your statements factual and brief. Don't admit fault or provide recorded statements without consulting an attorney. Our insurance claims attorneys can help protect your rights during this process and ensure you don't say anything that could harm your claim.

Documenting Your Losses

Keep thorough records of all accident-related expenses, including:

Start collecting medical bills, repair estimates, and receipts for any out-of-pocket expenses immediately. Document lost work time and wages. Keep a journal of how your injuries affect your daily life. Save all correspondence related to the accident, including emails and letters from insurance companies.

Special Circumstances

Some accidents involve additional considerations. If you were in a rideshare vehicle, consult our Uber accident lawyers or Lyft accident attorneys. For accidents involving commercial vehicles, our truck accident lawyers understand the specific regulations and liability issues involved.

Protecting Your Legal Rights

Many accident victims make the mistake of waiting too long to seek legal help. Missouri has specific time limits for filing accident claims, and evidence can disappear quickly. Early consultation with an attorney can help protect your rights and ensure you don't miss critical deadlines.

When to Contact an Attorney

Consider contacting an attorney immediately if:

You've sustained significant injuries. The accident involved multiple vehicles. Fault is disputed. Insurance companies are pressuring you to settle. You're missing work due to your injuries. There's substantial property damage.

Long-term Considerations

Some accident impacts don't become apparent immediately. Our traumatic brain injury attorneys often work with clients who didn't realize the full extent of their injuries right away. Consider both immediate and potential long-term effects when dealing with insurance companies or considering settlement offers.

Get Professional Legal Help

If you've been in a car accident in Missouri, don't navigate the aftermath alone. Our experienced team can help protect your rights and ensure you receive fair compensation for your injuries and losses.

Call us at 314-361-4242 for a free consultation. We'll help you understand your rights and guide you through every step of the process. Remember, time limits apply to accident claims in Missouri, so don't wait to get the legal help you need.

“Why You Shouldn't Delay Seeking Legal Advice After an Injury”

Introduction

When life throws unexpected challenges your way, like injuries resulting from accidents or medical malpractice, the aftermath can be overwhelming. The emotional and physical toll can be significant, but one thing is clear: taking action swiftly is crucial. In today's fast-paced world, we often find ourselves caught up in day-to-day concerns and may delay important decisions regarding legal matters. This article delves into the critical reasons why you shouldn't delay seeking legal advice after an injury, focusing on how timely actions can significantly impact your case's outcome.

Why You Shouldn't Delay Seeking Legal Advice After an Injury

Injuries can happen at any moment—whether it's a slip and fall in a grocery store, a car accident, or medical malpractice leading to serious complications. The initial response might be to focus on recovery and healing; however, it’s essential not to overlook the importance of seeking legal advice promptly.

1. Evidence Preservation

One of the most compelling reasons for immediate legal consultation is evidence preservation. When accidents occur, vital evidence may be fleeting. Eyewitnesses may forget details or move away from the area. Medical records need to be collected quickly before they are lost or altered. A seasoned attorney can guide you through this process effectively.

2. Statutes of Limitations

Every state has its own statutes of limitations—the deadlines by which you must file your claim in court. In Arizona, for example, personal injury claims generally need to be filed within two years from the date of the injury. If you wait too long, you could lose your right to seek compensation entirely.

3. Understanding Your Rights

Navigating the aftermath of an injury can be confusing. An experienced lawyer specializing in personal injury law—like a Moseley Collins Law Phoenix medical negligence attorney—can help clarify your rights. Knowing what you're entitled to is essential for making informed decisions about your next steps.

4. Insurance Company Tactics

Insurance companies often employ various tactics to minimize payouts or deny claims altogether. They may pressure you into settling quickly for less than what you're owed. Consulting with a Moseley Collins Law Phoenix birth injury lawyer early on ensures that you have someone fighting on your behalf who understands these tactics.

5. Building Your Case

A strong case takes time and effort to build. Delaying legal advice means delaying vital steps such as gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses, and consulting experts. The sooner you consult a Moseley Collins Law Phoenix medical malpractice lawyer, the stronger your case will become. The Consequences of Delaying Legal Action Emotional Toll

Dealing with an https://maps.app.goo.gl/BKhiSJjQP2cVhZBr8 injury isn't just physical; it also takes an emotional toll on individuals and their families.
