Twingate analyzed a list of the 200 most common passwords in 2020, compiled by SecLists—a project maintained by Daniel Miessler, Jason Haddix, and g0tmi1k. The passwords were compiled from popular lists in the security testing world. A sizable number of the most common passwords contained nouns and many included proper nouns like names of people (Nicole, Matthew) and intellectual properties (Pokémon, Star Wars), as well as regular nouns (princess, monkey, baseball). If the password contained at least three consecutive char acters that are adjacent on a standard U.S. keyboard (qwerty, 1234, 159753) they were counted as having a keyboard pattern. None of the most common passwords analyzed by Twingate included any symbols or special characters. Increasingly, bad actors can access wide swaths of Americans’ private information by performing what’s known as “credential stuffing.” Creden tial stuffing happens when cybercriminals buy or reuse lists of com monly used and stolen passwords and stuff them into the login fields of websites. Credential stuffing poses a considerable risk to both businesses and consumers because of the sheer number of Americans who reuse passwords for multiple accounts. Around 65% of U.S. adults admitted to using the same passwords across at least some—if not all—websites they use, according to a 2018 Google survey conducted by The Harris Poll.Tech companies including Apple are developing technology that experts say could be more secure and convenient than traditional passwords. They rely on your biometric data, meaning fingerprints and facialUntilrecognition.moresecure measures are implemented, password managers like 1Password or LastPass are an effective way to prevent these types of attacks, but passphrases are another good alternative. A passphrase is essentially a sentence. The FBI recommends using passphrases because longer passwords take longer for criminals to crack than complex ones (for example, those that include numbers and special characters).

New state laws taking effect Jan. 1
SPRINGFIELD – Minimum wage workers in Illinois will see a boost in their hourly pay to $12 per hour starting Jan. 1, while tenants in affordable housing units will be allowed to keep pets. Those are just some of the more than 300 new laws that take effect in the new year.

This year, it will increase by one dollar to $12 anThehour.law allowing public housing tenants to keep pets is the result of Senate Bill 154, by Sen. Linda Holmes, D-Aurora, and Rep. Stephanie Kifowit, D-Oswego. It provides that tenants of multifamily housing units that are acquired, built or renovated with money from the Illinois Affordable Housing Trust Fund may keep up to two cats or one dog weighing less than 50 pounds.

Just 19 at the time of his injury, his parents had a hospital bed installed for him in the basement. “I would just lie there for days and weeks at a time, very depressed. I didn’t want to engage with social media. I didn’t want to talk to people. I was just stuck, you know? Mentally and emotionally.”
SHORT HILLS, N.J., PRNewswire -- Join Keynote Speaker Leon Ford as he talks about finding grace by acknowl edging pain at the Reeve Summit 2022: Where Care, Cure and Community Connect. The Reeve Summit will be an in-person conference on October 13-14, 2022, in Washington, DC.
“Those officers took something from me,” Ford says in a gut-wrenching scene in Jackson Tisi’s short docu mentary Leon. “It’s not just the ability to walk—it’s something deeper.” Watch it here. Given that lived expe rience, Ford’s message may surprise many. His keynote ad dress at the 2022 Reeve Sum mit will be about “acknowl edging pain, working through traumas, and moving forward,” he said in an interview. His own journey embodies those themes in many different ways, he says.
He says one reason he’s able to be “graceful” with people who have different views is because he needs grace himself.
“I think that’s what’s needed,” he says. “We all may have different lived experiences, we might all have different perspec tives, and the more we converse, the more we can understand each other. Even if we still disagree, we can be more open to giving respect and understanding their platform.”
On November 11, 2012, during a routine traffic stop Leon Ford an innocent Black man, was shot by the police leaving him paralyzed from the waist down. Every day is now a reminder of the day that the Pittsburgh police officer prejudices toward Ford after he mistook him for a wanted gang member.

“I know I’m not perfect. I have some parts of me, connected to how I was raised, that I’m holding on to that I know may not be right, because society has changed so much,” he says reflectively. “In order for me to love myself like I love other people, I have to give myself grace, and I have to give other people grace.”
How to Become Inspired With counseling – which Ford says was the most coura geous act he’s ever taken – he came to understand that his own reaction was in fact normal and expected. “When you experience a traumatic event or your life is very different than everyone around you, it’s normal to feel left out and to retract. You can’t just fake it and say, ‘I feel good’ when you feel terrible inside. You can’t fake inspiration,” he says. “For me, it was important to acknowledge that I did feel terrible inside and to be able to identify why. That was the beginning of figuring out how to become inspired.” He began to seek out other stories, people who have faced life-changing adversity and turned it around. “I relied on those stories for inspiration,” he says. “This is one of the reasons why I get out and I share my story.” He has a perspective unlike most, sitting as he does at the intersection of young, Black, and male in America, the victim of trauma at the hands of police, paralyzed and in a wheelchair because of it. In the decade since the incident, Ford has rebuilt his life from the depths of despair in his parents’ basement to become a voice for change and healing through mentorship and social activism around trauma and mental health. He fought – and was eventually cleared – of aggravated assault charges levied by the police after the incident. He sued the Pittsburgh Police Department for the violation of his rights and won a $5.5 million settlement. He earned a Volunteer Service Award from President Barack Obama in 2014. And in an ironic twist of history, his latest endeavor, the Hear Foundation, partners with a former chief of the Pittsburgh police to help end gun violence, heal trauma, and support workforce education in poor communities of color. ‘We Lift as We Climb’ “There’s an African proverb that says, ‘we lift as we climb,’ Ford says. “So, as I climb up higher, I’m lifting some body else up. That inspires me. To watch people, go from deep sadness and frustration to living their lives and finding jobs, I find that very inspirational, especially when I can use my voice to help.” How does he maintain hope in the face of personal and societal pain? “I just focus on what I can do, how I can add value to the world, understanding that I can add value to the world just by speaking with somebody. It’s the little things, those small conversations that matter.” He tells of one he had recently with a transgender person. Theirs was a lifestyle that was not accepted in Ford’s upbring ing, and about which he admitted he had “a lot of ignorance.” Yet meeting this person and hearing their perspective really opened his mind.

SEATTLE, PRNewswire -- Over the last few decades, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI), has been the foundation of talking about racism within the workplace and institutions of education, but is it truly closing the gap?
Offering a half day virtual session September 6th, specifically for institutional representatives (those wanting to bring this information back to an organization) and one September 10th for general community mem bers, they’re hoping to reach as many people as possible. When asked why she wanted to open these sessions up to the public, Dane shares, “I believe these trainings help people to expand their imaginations. We are told so often that reparations are impossible, or we have to wait for them, but the workshop helps people recognize that reparations can be a reality today.” Expanding on why folks of all identities are encouraged to come, Yalini says, “White supremacy is actively putting non-Black people of color in antagonistic relationship with Black peoples. Non-Black people participating and support ing the advancement of the Black reparations movement is a powerful way to subvert this antagonism and build deeper solidarity. I love this workshop because it not only speaks to the intergenerational legacies of reparations, but focuses on actualizing reparations outside of the state.” For more information, visit https://bit.ly/ CommunityReparations.

Acknowledging the pain of his own trauma was a “huge first step” essential to his healing, Ford says. “I retracted for a long time. I didn’t want to participate in anything that was going on in the world.”
Author, educator, & poet J Mase III says DEI is nowhere near enough. “What DEI programs essentially end up doing is creating the conditions in which more Black, Brown, & Indige nous people can be recruited into an organization for their labor, without changing the material reality of those of us impacted by systemic racism and white supremacy. Any work purporting to be invested in racial justice, must also be pro-reparations” An advocate for racial justice and Trans rights, he is teaming up with collaborators Lady Dane Figueroa Edidi and YaliniDream to offer a series of trainings called, All That DEI & Still No Reparations?!?!

CALISTOGA, Calif., PRNewswire -- Vice Versa Wines founder Patrice Breton today announced that Vice Versa, the luxury Napa Cabernet Sauvignon-focused brand he founded in 2003, will break ground on a new winery and cave at his recent ly acquired estate vineyard in Calistoga in late Summer 2022. Breton tapped San Francisco-based architect Olle Lundberg of Lundberg Design to design the 10,000-square-foot cave and winery. The winery and cave, which boast three private hospitality spaces, have a planned completion date of Summer 2024. Lundberg has also designed the caves for Screaming Eagle, Ramey Wine Cellars and Hourglass Winery. The winery building will have a singular aspirationto act as a gateway to the surrounding soil and vineyards. Lundberg hopes the winery will express the direct connection between the land, the grapes, the cave, and the winery. The ground floor of the winery will serve as the production facili ty, and the second floor will be reserved for hospitality spaces for private“Thinktastings.ofthebuilding as a traditional long gable barn, split in half, and the two volumes pulled apart and offset, twisting the roof and the connecting deck between, so that the result opens to the sky, the hillside beyond, and the cave underneath, stated Lundberg. The construction utilizes three dominant wall surfaces -- Corten, a weathering steel that seals as it rusts, Kalwall, an insulated translucent panel system, and glass. The upper hospitality level has 360-degree views from the fully glazed exterior walls. The covered crush pad is in the center of the winery’s ground floor, with a second-level entertainment deck overlooking the production area. The crush pad opens up to the hillside behind, with the vines cascading down the hillside, the tableau framed by the structure above.
Patrice Breton commented, “Olle’s designs are pure, modern, organic, and holistic. I wanted an avant-garde, time less, unique, and efficient design with clean lines, a structure that merged seamlessly into the surrounding vineyard, and a fireproof building. Olle’s idea of choosing Corten steel for the superstructure was pure genius, as the building will age well and be impossible to burn down. It will be a true architectural masterpiece that will stand the test of time.”

Napa Valley’s Vice Versa Announces Groundbreaking for New Winery and Caves in Calistoga Late Summer 2022
CINCINNATI, PRNewswire -- BLINK, Illuminated by ArtsWave, is expanding and highlighting the overlap between the physical and the digital, uniting people in pursuit of truly immersive art. The nation’s larg est light, art, and projection mapping experience returns to Cincinnati for the first time since 2019, complete with an all-star roster. BLINK operates on a large scale, with an entire city as the canvas. With such a primed and ready jumping off point, it seems only right that they announce another wave of incredible muralists ready to tackle walls and buildings. Thanks to BLINK Co-Founder, Executive Creative Director, and Agar Partner Andrew Salzburn, the mural program has grown and flourished.
FAILE, Brooklyn-based artistic collaboration between Patrick McNeil and Patrick Miller, brings their 20+ years of experience and fragmented style to BLINK this year. With existing murals in Covington, this is an exciting opportunity to create on the Cincinnati side as well. Bringing the pop culture element, L’Amour Supreme provides decades of reinterpreted comic books, action figures and monster movie referenc es, twisted into his own lexicon of 21st century hyper pop imagery and displayed in mural form for attendees to enjoy. Canadian painter and mu ralist Michelle Hoogveld will weave a vibrant tapestry of color, aiming to create a shared experience for all BLINK-goers. Chroma Projects brings their decade of global experience in murals and experiential art, creating something truly wonderful for the occasion. Multidisciplinary artist Greg Mike also takes the proverbial BLINK stage, creating a mural through his personal lens of Surrealist Pop Art. This year also holds the exciting return of George Berlin, who will be projection mapping onto Hotel Covington in NKY. More returning favorites are coming, with Greg D’Amico also doing projection mapping in NKY at the Gateway Center. BLINK is partnering and leveraging the power of the region’s emerging talent as well. Miami University College of Creative Arts Students from the Emerging Technology in Business and Design Department (ETBD) are creating a piece as part of their Immersive and Reactive Class this Fall. Local artist Kyle Eli Ebersole is working with Jenny Ustick to project her James Brown Mural, Mr. Dynamite, which celebrates Cinci-based King Records. Inka also returns this year, with an updated projection on Faith47’s mural, which itself was a highlight of Florange2019.byEmily Underwood utilizes 100+ strings of hanging flower sculptures that will be arranged so the viewer can move through the installation. For a moment of solace, Miserie from Courtney Zunis is a tunnel of mist designed to be a subtle, contemplative, personal expe rience. Kyle Eli Ebersole and Ian Molitors team up for Crescendo, a returning fan favorite interactive music and light installation. Featuring a stand up Ebersole piano originally built in Cincinnati during the 1940s, this multi-sensory experience lives up to its name, inviting musicians to interact directly with the work. With String Theory for Dummies, Daniel Shields creates a work that is accessible and interactive to the max through a collectively woven structure of yarn. POOF! by Bradley Scherzer is a giant creature that plays well with humans relying on its bright and colorful good looks to get people to “feed” it, for truly kinetic experience. California-based group Building 180 brings installations from Inflatabill, Charles Gadekan, and Christopher Schardt. A full running list of participating artists can be found on the BLINK website.

“We are passionate about expand ing our support of women’s sports,” said Mark Rooks, vice president of category marketing and partnerships at DICK’S Sporting Goods. “With this multi-year partnership we not only want to demonstrate our belief in the female athlete and the WNBA, but we want to help fuel the rise of women’s sports in a city that prides itself on inclusivity, community, and legacy.”
Through this partnership and the WNBA partnership announced in 2021, DICK’S will continue the work it’s done in the past year to increase engagement with the League and create opportunities for women to play sports through events like It’s Her Shot, which empowers young female athletes to take their place on the court.
“Every year is a learning curve, a learning step. And I feel like I want to just keep climbing the ladder, I told myself going into the Olympics that I wanted to win three gold med als. I came up a little bit short”, De Grasse laughs. “I got one. And now it’s like, okay, now I need to focus on what are the things that I can do to continue to get better.” Andre’s biggest drive is to be the best version of himself and to continue to carry on his legacy of being one of the best track and field athletes in the world. First a hamstring injury stopped De Grasse, then COVID. How did he manage to stay motivated? “I think I get a lot of support from my family, my friends, they continue to push me every single day to be the best athlete of myself. Obviously, I have self-motivation as well that I want to be the best”, Andre says. “And that’s what keeps me, keeps me up at night, keeps me motivated and keeps me ready to take on the day.”

The resolution, which is contingent on final documenta tion and bankruptcy court approval, involves the following:
Requires payment of $450 million in cash over 10 years to participating states and subdivisions. Requires Endo to turn over its opioid-related documents for publication online in a public document archive and pay $2.75 million for archival expenses.
Endo, an Ireland-based drugmaker with its U.S. headquar ters in Malvern, Pennsylvania, makes generic and branded opioids including Percocet and Endocet and also made Opana ER, which was withdrawn from the market in 2017. Raoul and the states allege that Endo falsely promoted the benefits of Opana ER’s so-called abuse-deterrent formulation, which did nothing to deter oral abuse and led to deadly outbreaks of Hepatitis and HIV due to its widespread abuse via injection.
Bans the marketing of Endo’s opioids forever.
Proposed Settlement Would Provide Cash to Address Opioid Crisis, Require Significant Document Disclosure, and Ban the Promotion of Endo’s Opioids Chicago – Attorney General Kwame Raoul, as part of a bipartisan coalition of state attorneys general, has reached an agreement in principle with opioid maker Endo International PLC (Endo) and its lenders that would provide up to $450 million to participating states and local governments. The agreement would also ban promotion of Endo’s opioids and require Endo to turn over millions of documents related to its role in the opioid crisis for publication in a public online archive.The agreement in principle with Endo, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection Tuesday, Aug. 16, in the Southern District of New York, resolves allegations that Endo boosted opioid sales using deceptive marketing that downplayed the risk of addiction and overstated the benefits.
Joining Illinois in the settlement are the attorneys gener al of Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Ken tucky, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mis souri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Carolina, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, Wyoming and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
This announcement is part of Attorney General Raoul’s ongoing efforts to combat the opioid epidemic and hold accountable companies whose deceptive practices have increased opioid prescriptions at the expense of public health. It comes after the announcements in July of an agreement in principle with opioid manufacturer Teva that would provide up to $4.25 billion once finalized and an agreement in princi ple that, once finalized, would require former opioid maker Allergan to pay up to $2.37 billion to participating states and local governments to assist in battling the opioid epidemic.
“Opioid manufacturers like Endo sacrificed the health and safety of Illinois residents for their own financial gain,” Raoul said. “Their actions played a key role in the over-pre scription, misuse, abuse, and diversion of dangerous opioids that resulted in an opioid crisis. I will continue to fight to h old unscrupulous opioid manufacturers and distributors account able and to secure resources to abate this crisis in Illinois. I am committed to ensuring the money we secure through this settlement is distributed equitably to fund critical recovery and treatment programs in the counties and municipalities with the most urgent need.”
Earlier this year, Raoul’s office negotiated the Illinois Opioid Allocation Agreement. The agreement is intended to ensure the approximately $760 million Illinois will receive through the historic national $26 billion opioid settlement agreement with the nation’s three major pharmaceutical distributors and Johnson & Johnson, and these additional opioid settlements, are allocated equitably to counties and municipalities. The majority of Illinois’ money will go to the Illinois Remediation Fund to be used for abatement programs throughout the state.

Reduced access to testing, vaccinations, and necessary accommodations.Increasedrisk of severe illness or death due to COVID-19.
DISABILITY COMMUNITY SUFFERED DISPROPORTIONATELY DURING COVID-19
The Arc’s report, “COVID-19 Health Care Barriers among People with Disabilities,” is the first part of a multi-year effort funded by the Pennsylvania Department of Health’s Preven tative Health and Health Services Block Grant to improve health equity. Having now identified issues that the disability community faced, the workgroups will turn their attention to crafting recommendations for the department to address health disparities. That report is due in mid-2023.
OAKLAND, Calif., PRNewswire -- The first day of school is go-time for parents, but it’s also go-time for germs. New research from the Clorox® brand found that the clothes kids wore to school came back 28 times germier than the average toilet seat.1 What’s more, the study found kids’ back packs are often the most neglected by parents when it comes to sanitization, and it shows. On average, kids’ backpacks clocked in 31 times germier than the average cell phone.1

These germs can stop families in their tracks, but parents can’t afford to be slowed down. By adopting a holistic germ-prevention strategy, parents can help prevent the spread of illness-causing germs on surfaces. That’s why Clorox is teaming up with the world’s most decorated woman in track and field history, gender equality advocate, entrepreneur and mom, Allyson Felix. Together, they’re helping to educate par ents on germ spread in order to help keep households running smoothly for an unstoppable year ahead.
42% of millennial parents of color reported feeling ner vous about the back-to-school season compared to only 32% of white millennial parents. Moms are more likely to be stressed about back-to-school (38% vs. 24%) while dads are more likely to be happy (67% vs. 39%).More than half of all parents surveyed (54%) are stressed at the thought of their child having to stay home.

HARRISBURG, Pa., PRNewswire -- As difficult as the COVID-19 health-care crisis has been on everyone, the impact of this pandemic has been staggering on individuals with dis abilities and their families, especially those living in rural areas and those belonging to racial and ethnic minorities, according to a new report from The Arc of Pennsylvania.
The Arc’s research focused on asking participants whether they thought a disability-inclusive approach had been taken to combat COVID-19 and what they thought could be done to en sure a disability-inclusive approach is used to prepare for future emergencies. The responses were catalogued according to social determinants of health, which look at how conditions like where people are born, grow, live, work, play, worship, and age affect someone’s health.
“At Clorox, we recognize that parents do it all these days and germs can hold them back from all of life’s possibilities,” said Stacy Stokes, Vice President of Marketing at The Clorox Company. “As a leader in public health, we understand the im portance of both physical and mental wellness, and are proud to provide parents with tools, resources and products to help maintain a cleaner and safer environment where their families can thrive.”
Safety measures and care needed for the general popula tion competed with critical materials and access that people with disabilities --- who often have greater comorbidities --- needed for their daily lives. For families of children with complex medical needs, restricted access to gloves, masks, ventilators, and specialized medical equipment created tremendous risk unparalleled by individuals without such complex medical preconditions.Thefullreport can be found at https://thearcpa.org/health care-initiatives/.
*Swab Study: On behalf of Clorox, Ketchum Analytics conducted a swab test and three-day online bulletin board discussion comprised of 30 individuals who were parents of children under the age of 18 and currently in school, summer school or summer camp. Ketchum Analytics was supported by market research recruiter, Schlesinger Group and swab analysis was performed by Perritt Laboratories. The swab test and online bulletin board was fielded from June 13-17, 2022. The swab test required participants to swab 9 locations in their home that were analyzed to unveil which had the highest CFUs* (germ growth). Participants swabbed surfaces after their children returned home from school and interacted with the surfaces. Germs referenced in this study are defined as bacteria, yeast and mold.

Early on during the pandemic, emergency response planning did not consider the unique needs of the disability community, which tends to have worsened health outcomes due to a va riety of social and institutional barriers that the pandemic only exacerbated, nor did it account for the challenges people with disabilities face accessing appropriate information or help. During the yearlong research project that included interviews, surveys, and regional meetings with hun dreds of stakeholders, including those with lived experiences of a disability, participants said inequitable access to health care and other social system supports during COVID-19 compound ed physical and mental health issues, worsened chronic health conditions, and led to a disintegration in quality of life for entire families.“Ifwe want to ensure the interests and needs of individu als with disabilities and their families are addressed, then they need to have a seat at the table from the start and they need to be included every step of the way. That didn’t happen here,” said Sherri Landis, Executive Director of The Arc of Pennsyl vania, the state’s leading advocacy organization promoting the human rights of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Research Methodology
Survey of U.S. Parents To further uncover the true impact germs can have on families, Clorox also conducted a nationwide survey among 1,000 parents of school-aged children. Survey results** indicated:Millennial parents of color often experience greater impact from illness with 85% reporting that they had to take a sick day or unpaid time off due to a sick child within the last year compared to only 78% of white millennial parents.
Swab Study To uncover just how many germs kids bring home with them from school, Clorox conducted a swab study with parents of school-aged kids, which included testing a variety of surfaces in the home and on school supplies. Swab results* indicated:Theaverage couch is as germy as a dog’s tennis ball and twice as germy as the fridge1 door/handle.1 The clothes kids wore to school were 28 times germier than the average toilet seat.1 Kids’ backpacks are 31 times germier than the average cell phone.1Hardsurfaces like counters, TV remotes, gaming control lers and fridge handles were roughly 26 times germier than the average bathroom doorknob.1
“My whole life I’ve had to push through invisible bar riers to get to where I am today. Aside from any accomplish ments on the track or as an entrepreneur, my most challenging and important job has and always will be my role as a mom. It requires fierce determination for parents to juggle their families, careers and passions – especially amid the backto-school season with all the added responsibilities it brings,” said Allyson Felix, 11-time medalist and Clorox spokesperson. “Simply put, parents need easy and effective solutions to help prevent the spread of germs on surfaces and stay on top of their game. That’s why I’m proud to join Clorox and show parents how unstoppable they can be when they start clean.”
**Survey: On behalf of Clorox, Ketchum Analytics conducted an online survey of 1,570 total Americans comprised of 1,000 nationally representative Americans, including 334 parents and an additional 532 People of Color (POC) Millenni als, 390 of which are parents. The survey was fielded from July 6-11, 2022 at the 95% confidence level and with a margin of error (MOE) of +/-3%.
Among some of the specific barriers, participants identified lack of access to professional support staff that put families of children with disabilities in a precarious position, where their ability to work competed with their child’s education, medical, and therapeutic needs. The pandemic exacerbated existing men tal health issues --- access to support was limited while the need increased --- creating social isolation, with many participants reporting individuals being in crisis or attempting suicide.
More than two-thirds (69%) of parents are concerned about their children bringing germs home from school and more than half (54%) expect their kids to get them sick.
