Listen to “THE U.S. ARMY RESERVE CELEBRATES THE CIVIL AFFAIRS REGIMENT’S 68TH ANNIVERSARY AS THE “EYES & EARS” TO CIVIL ORGANIZATIONS ” on Spreaker.

Focusing On Army Reserve Civil Affairs with Colonel Bradford Hughes, Government Functional Specialty Chief of the 351st Civil Affairs Command.

Website for more information: www.usar.army.mil

The Army Civil Affairs Regiment helps military commanders and staff work with local authorities and populations while also assisting and supporting the civil administration of a unit’s area of operations. This month the Army Reserve is saluting Soldiers in honor of the Civil Affairs Regiment’s 68th anniversary.

Established on August 17, 1955, the Civil Affairs Regiment has served as the “eyes and ears” to foreign military and civil organizations. These Soldiers engage and partner with communities around the world, to increase stability, enable local governments, and improve quality of life for civilians.

This regiment’s work extends beyond humanitarian assistance as Civil Affairs Soldiers are the Special Operations community’s warrior-diplomats. As persuasive and diplomatic negotiators, Civil Affairs Soldiers work on the ground to ensure the U.S. interests are on the table and have a strong position when bargaining with foreign governments. They also protect civilians and reduce the root causes of instability around the world.

PROTECTING THE NATION & INFRASTRUCTURE IN CYBERSPACE LEARN MORE ABOUT THE ROLE OF THE U.S. ARMY CYBER COMMAND

Austin Tang — Thu, 07 Oct 2021 19:41:25 +0000

Listen to “PROTECTING THE NATION & INFRASTRUCTURE IN CYBERSPACE LEARN MORE ABOUT THE ROLE OF THE U.S. ARMY CYBER COMMAND” on Spreaker.

The battles of the future will be fought in cyberspace, one of the most critical and ever-evolving areas of our nation’s defense, with threats facing the country at any hour from around the world. A single breach can quickly impact our daily lives.
Soldiers from the U.S. Army Cyber Command (ARCYBER) serve at the forefront of this 24/7 operation against cyber threats, defending Army networks, securing Army weapons platforms, protecting critical infrastructure, and obstructing adversaries to protect the nation.
Established in October of 2010, ARCYBER organizes, trains, educates, mans, equips, funds, administers, deploys, and sustains Army cyber forces to conduct cyberspace operations. Just like traditional combat, military operations in cyberspace require intelligence, planning, and the leadership of dedicated people.
ARCYBER is made up of elite warriors – approximately 6,500 Soldiers and 10,000 civilian employees and contract personnel – who provide full-spectrum cyber capabilities in cyber operations and cyber and electronic warfare:
• Cyber Operations Officers are responsible for integrated and synchronized defensive and offensive cyberspace operations by targeting hostile enemy activities and capabilities.
• Cyber Operations Specialists defend the Army’s crucial and complex weapons systems, which include satellites, navigation, and aviation systems against both foreign and domestic cyber threats.
• Cyber and Electronic Warfare Officers conduct and coordinate electronic attacks, facilitate electronic protection, and provide electronic warfare support.
• Cyber and Electronic Warfare Specialists plan and execute electronic warfare operations, using electromagnetic and directed energy to defeat the enemy’s electronic systems.
On Tuesday, October 5th, join Chief Officer Mark Lopez to learn more about the cyber force in the U.S. Army’s operations. He will also explain how the Army is one of the few places where talented technical experts can put their skills to the test against global adversaries, going toe-to-toe daily with malicious hackers.

Listen to “Major Erika Alvarado, During October: National Cybersecurity Awareness Month” on Spreaker.
http://goodnewsplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/major_erika_alvarado_1.mp3

LEARN ABOUT THE U.S. ARMY CYBER COMMAND
AND ITS ROLE AS THE NATION’S FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE IN CYBERSPACE

Cyberspace is one of the most critical areas of our nation’s defense and is a 24/7 responsibility for Soldiers stationed around the world as part of U.S. Army Cyber Command.
The U.S. Army Cyber Command engages in cyberwarfare against global cyber threats and adversaries, secures the country’s military data networks and weapons platforms, facilitates communications between joint military operations, and protects critical U.S. infrastructure. These elite cyber operators are highly trained to perform under pressure confidently, making them some of the most capable and combat-ready warriors in the U.S. military.
Major Erika Alvarado is a Cyber Operations Planner and Deputy Commander and Training Officer for the U.S. Army Reserve Cyber Protection Brigade – which supports the U.S. Army Cyber Command. In her role, Major Alvarado helps the Army keep pace with rapidly changing cyber capabilities and technologies to protect the country from cyber threats and attacks worldwide.
Major Alvarado enlisted in the Army Reserve at 17-years-old and today is one of the many skilled Army Soldiers serving our nation as the country’s first line of defense in cyberspace.
Cybersecurity is the fastest-growing field in the nation. The Army is well-positioned to train the next generation of cyber experts with opportunities to become analysts, coders, data scientists, and planners for roles in cyber operations, electronic warfare, cryptologic cyber intelligence, and more.
Major Alvarado will be available to discuss the importance of cybersecurity awareness, her role with the U.S. Army Cyber Command, and what it’s like to be engaged in today’s cyberspace fight.

Casa Larga Vineyards and Winery, Est. 1974

admin — Tue, 08 Apr 2014 22:01:29 +0000

History
Casa Larga Vineyards is one of New York’s premier wine producers, highly regarded for its production of award-winning, world-class Ice Wines.

In 1974, Andrew Colaruotolo (Mr. C), an immigrant from Gaeta, Italy, founded Casa Larga Vineyards as a hobby, seeking to create wines reminiscent of those produced by his family’s vineyard in Italy. The first three wines were produced in 1978, and earned gold and silver medals in the first competition they entered. Casa Larga continues this tradition of excellence to this day – producing high-quality, award-winning wines, while acting as a driving force in the evolution, growth, promotion and recognition of the Finger Lakes wine region.

Casa Larga produces red and white table wines, Champagne and Ice Wine. The winery produces three lines of wines, classified under the names Casa Larga, Fiori and Vineyard Hill. Casa Larga’s Fiori line, created in the mid-1990s, is reserved for only the highest quality wines, produced through traditional methods, including the French Methode Champenoise and the German Eiswein process.

The vineyards at Casa Larga occupy 45 acres of land, located atop one of the highest points in the Finger Lakes region, where they grow two varietal classes: the European Vinifera and French-American Hybrids. Particular varieties of wines produced include Chardonnay, Viognier, Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Muscat D’Ottonel, Pinot Grigio, Vidal, DeChaunac, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon.

Casa Larga is proud to have won over 600 awards in major competitions.

Ice Wines are Casa Larga’s star products. The Fiori Vidal Ice Wine is the most awarded ice wine in the United States. It has received some of the highest recognitions in the wine industry, including the “Governors Cup” for “Best Wine in New York State.” In 2010, the wine won “Best Dessert Wine” at the International Riverside Wine Competition, Double Gold and “Best Dessert Wine at the New York Wine & Food Classic, Gold and “Best of Class” at the Pacific Rim International Wine Competition and a Gold Medal from the Beverage Tasting Institute.

Casa Larga features a wine shop and tasting room that is open daily except for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day. Hours vary by season.

In 2004, Mr. C. passed away and was succeeded by his wife Ann, who assumed the role of Casa Larga Vineyard’s President. His son John assists as winemaker. His daughter Mary Jo manages the Finance Department and his daughter Andrea is the Director of Operations.

Inauguration Ceremony for Gale Brewer

admin — Wed, 15 Jan 2014 00:05:10 +0000

All are welcome to attend
Two o’clock until five o’clock in the afternoon
Sunday, January 12, 2014
Hammerstein Ballroom
311 West 34th Street (between 8th and 9th Avenues) Manhattan
Gale Brewer Sworn In as Manhattan Borough President
MIDTOWN — Former City Councilwoman Gale Brewer, who for 12 years represented the Upper West Side and won consecutive terms in landslide elections, was sworn in Sunday as Manhattan’s 27th borough president.
Brewer’s inauguration took place before hundreds at the Hammerstein Ballroom, and she used the occasion to announce the appointment of two deputy borough presidents, rather than the typical one.
“I’m breaking tradition today,” she said, after a warm introduction from Mayor Bill de Blasio. “As de Blasio said, I love to do that.”
Brewer introduced Aldrin Rafael Bonilla as the new deputy borough president for community and borough operations. Bonilla previously served as executive director of CUNY in the Heights, which is part of the Hostos Division of Continuing Education and Workforce Development. Brewer also announced that Joseph Garba, who was previously the director of state legislative affairs under Mayor Michael Bloomberg, would serve as the new deputy borough president for policy and budget.
Brewer vowed to work on expanding free wi-fi, creating more high-quality middle school seats, ensuring schools can provide art education and getting neighborhood residents involved in local zoning and development decisions.
“We’re done with the campaign, thank God. And now comes the part that i like best: governing,” Brewer said.
“So If you supported me because of who I am, and what I stood for and accomplished, you will get nothing less from me as borough president. I will continue to have an accessible office, an experienced and dedicated staff, a strong commitment to transparency and accountability, and a dedication to a city government that works from the ground up.”
Prior to her election as borough president, Brewer served on the City Council representing the 6th district, which includes most of the Upper West Side and the northernmost part of Clinton.
Mayor Bill de Blasio introduced Brewer, praising her work in City Council and her commitment to reform, transparency and progressive values.
“From time to time I find the phrase ‘force of nature’ appropriate to define someone, and Gale Brewer rises to that level,” de Blasio said, citing the amount of reading material she brings home each night, the number of interns she takes in, and the ten-page emails she is known for sending.
“People on the Upper West Side have gotten used to the notion that this is what their council members should do, this is what their leaders should do. Well now people all over Manhattan are going to see it,” he said.
De Blasio also noted Brewer’s lack of filter, a statement she proved with a joke about the George Washington Bridge traffic scandal.
“I want you all to know that I plan to use my power as borough president wisely. There is no truth to the rumors that I am closing lanes at the Holland and Lincoln tunnels,” she said.
Brewer will serve a four-year term as borough president, replacing Scott Stringer, the city’s new Comptroller. She concluded her remarks with a call to action.
“Let’s get to work,” she said.
