Palo Alto Networks, a prominent cybersecurity company, has announced its intention to acquire the Israeli startup, Talon Cyber Security, in a strategic move aimed at bolstering its cybersecurity solutions for enterprises. Talon Cyber Security, founded in 2021, specializes in providing secure browser and security tools designed to manage access to client servers from third-party and personal devices. The financial terms of the acquisition deal remain undisclosed at this time. However, according to Information, Talon Cyber Security is estimated to be valued in the range of $600 million to $700 million. This acquisition represents another step in Palo Alto Networks’ ongoing investments in Israeli technology firms. The company has been actively involved in acquiring local companies in Israel since 2012. Most recently, Palo Alto Networks reached an agreement to acquire Dig Security, an Israeli cloud security startup, although the financial details of that transaction were not disclosed. In response to the acquisition, Ofer Ben-Noon, CEO of Talon Cyber Security, expressed enthusiasm, describing Palo Alto Networks as an “ideal partner” in a press release. Talon Cyber Security, headquartered in Tel Aviv, had previously raised $100 million in its series A funding round in August 2021. The funding round was led by Evolution

I am writing to express my unequivocal support for the re-election of Adam Fortney as Snohomish County Sheriff. Sheriff Fortney has made positive changes to the Sheriff’s Office and our community through collaboration, transparency, dedication, justice, communication, honesty, servant leadership, and integrity. For the last 31 years of my law enforcement career, I’ve worked for 7 Police Chiefs and Sheriffs; and I was appointed to the previous sheriff’s command staff. From experience, I can share that no law enforcement leader gets it right all the time. Even fewer admit when they were wrong, apologize, and have the courage to make changes and move forward in a different direction. Sheriff Fortney represents that group of rare leaders. He’s honest, intelligent, humble, courageous, hardworking, impartial, committed, and a dedicated public servant that truly believes that law enforcement is for all. Unfortunately, resumes and achievements have been a large topic of this election; and one candidate has more than the other. However, if you stay away from all the political rhetoric, consider who Sheriff Fortney appointed to manage the 4 Sheriff’s Office bureaus. I’d put their resumes, education, and experience against anyone in law enforcement leadership positions today; and anyone who has been

by John A. Tures, Professor of Political Science, LaGrange College Back in 2001, Kodak had a hit slogan “Share Moments, Share Life” for their camera company. In Cobb County, speed cameras are about ready to affect quite a few lives with some shared moments. And revenue sharing is part of the debate too. Will these speed cameras make a difference? And who will get the money from the tickets? Cobb County Commissioners are proposing to expand speed cameras throughout the county. Currently, they are only allowed in school zones. But under the new plan, municipalities could expand where they install speed cameras, with the idea that the revenue that they get could be funneled to local law enforcement. That’s led to two sets of debates: should we have more speed cameras, and who should get the money. “Speeding is a problem,” admits State Representative Don Parsons of District 44, as cited by the Marietta Daily Journal. “It kills people.” His issue is not with the cameras, but what speeds they are set at. “Sometimes speed limits are set too low to kind of catch people when they think it should be a little higher and to catch people for revenue…I

EVERETT, Wash., November 3, 2023—Compass Health held a groundbreaking ceremony at its Broadway campus in Everett, Thursday, October 12, to commemorate the start of construction on Phase II of the facility’s redevelopment project—a 72,000 square-foot expansion designed to address Northwest Washington’s increasing need for behavioral health services. Compass Health Phase II Rendering Ankrom Moisan Associated Architects. When the project reaches completion in Summer 2025, the facility will accommodate a variety of intensive behavioral health services and programs, including a 16-bed inpatient evaluation and treatment unit and a 16-bed crisis triage center. Compass Health anticipates serving 1,500 individuals through more than 30,000 points of care each year at the new facility, the organization said. The triage center will be able to accept first responder drop-offs which will allow law enforcement and EMT’s an option for dealing with individuals in a substantial mental or behavioral health crises.

Star of life (medical symbol created by the National Highway Safety Administration -- public domain) by Jennifer Shutt, Georgia Recorder November 1, 2023 WASHINGTON — The Biden administration’s top drug policy expert and Pennsylvania Democratic U.S. Sen. Bob Casey on Wednesday pressed Congress to approve billions in emergency funding to address opioid addiction. “We still have a ways to go to get it through the heads of people here in Washington about how important it is to vote for the funding — not to give speeches and blow a lot of hot air, but to vote for the damn money,” Casey said on a call with reporters. The Biden administration last month asked Congress to provide billions in additional spending on domestic issues, including $1.55 billion for State Opioid Response grants that would go towards providing treatment, harm reduction and recovery for opioid addiction. The program is already in existence and would be expanded. A separate national security supplemental spending request, also sent to Congress last month, would bolster funding for the Department of Homeland Security which the administration says would help reduce the flow of opioids, including fentanyl, into the

Est. Reading Time: 3 minutes Disordered eating has been trending on social media since the early 2010s, but now it wears a new deceptive mask By Emma Shemko, Opinion Staff Writer cw: eating disorders Approximately one million Canadians have been diagnosed with an eating disorder. Teens and young adults are the most at risk groups. Women are particularly vulnerable as they make up approximately 80 per cent of patients. The risk of developing an eating disorder is further heightened by social media trends that glorify unhealthy eating.   The ‘girl dinner’ trend went viral on TikTok this past summer and remains popular on the for you page. ‘Girl dinner’ started as a joke where young women and girls were showing weird combinations of food they put together as meals. However, the trend quickly slipped into the dangerous territory of disordered eating. People now use it to show off their tiny portions of food. Dinner implies a full meal, but many ‘girl dinners’ are barely a snack.   When ‘girl dinner’ first started promoting unsafe behaviours, I was reminded of the eating disorder culture that ran rampant on Tumblr in the early 2010s. Both ‘girl dinner’ and the pro-anorexia rhetoric from Tumblr encourage
