Former ‘Dancing with the Stars’ personality sashays for Lord Mayor – again


A third candidate in the Adelaide City Council mayoral race has materialised, telling CityMag if elected he would get rid of WiFi and Uber in the city, and lead free workshops about the “health dangers” of “radiation exposure”.

Steven Kelly, an Adelaide-based business person and owner of Rundle Street venue The Loft, has announced his candidacy to once again run for Lord Mayor.

Kelly’s announcement comes after incumbent Lord Mayor Sandy Verschoor confirmed her candidacy to the media over the weekend, and weeks after former senator Rex Patrick firmed up his tilt exclusively to InDaily.

A self-described hospitality entrepreneur and former Dancing With The Stars Greecepersonality“, Kelly was unsuccessful in his bid for the lord mayoral position in the 2018 Adelaide City Council general elections.

During his last campaign, Kelly said if elected he would fix homelessness within 60 days of taking office, improve the council’s internet security, and open-up free parking in the city.

Kelly declined to speak to CityMag about his renewed candidacy over the phone. However, he answered our questions in written responses, composed through a “voice-to-text software program”, sent via an encrypted ProtonMail email account.

In regards to his renewed campaign, there had been “serious matters” that have come up over the past four years that “must be attended to”.

“Things” within the Adelaide City Council were “not transparent”, he said, and as Lord Mayor he would bring back “responsibility and humanity” that is “so much missing”.

“I want to get involved with the real issues [and] work on substantial matters that make a difference, not just go in there where the gold robe and do what I’m told to,” Kelly said.

His 10-point policy plan features similar themes to his last council election attempt; this time he says he will fix rough sleeping within “two months” of the first day of taking office and improve the city’s nightlife.

However, he would also like to put the Adelaide City Council’s IT system under a…

Q&A: How the National Security Agency is Building the Next Generation of Cyber Stars


EDTECH: What is your background, and how did you get involved with GenCyber?

Greeley: I have 15 years of classroom experience, including teaching Advanced Placement U.S. history and U.S. government, and I spent about 20 years coaching basketball. GenCyber launched in 2014 as a pilot, and I started working with them in a support role in 2015.

I love teaching, and I wasn’t looking to leave the classroom, but I grew to love cybersecurity education. Since 2018, I’ve worked at the National Cryptologic School at the NSA.

EDTECH: What is the goal of GenCyber?

Greeley: GenCyber is a federally supported program that gives grants to postsecondary institutions to host student, teacher or student/teacher programs in cybersecurity. We’re looking at a shortfall of about half a million cybersecurity positions in the United States. So, this program works to make better cybersecurity citizens and, hopefully, teach students who are interested in cybersecurity that there is a career out there for them.

One of the greatest things about cybersecurity is that it is multidisciplinary. It’s for STEM students, but also for liberal arts-minded students. A lot of times, GenCyber is the first touchpoint for students and teachers in cybersecurity.

EDTECH: What is the format of the camp?

Greeley: My favorite part of GenCyber is that every program looks different because it is based on the local K–12 ecosystem. A GenCyber program in Northern Virginia is going to look a lot different than a GenCyber program in Iowa.

Each institution must have certain pillars. We require that they base their curriculum on six principles: confidentiality, integrity, availability, defense in depth, thinking like an adversary and keeping it simple. We also require that they teach cyber ethics, and they must have at least one unit on careers.

EDTECH: How long are the camp sessions?

Greeley: Historically, they’ve been weeklong summer camps. We now require institutions to also host pre-camp and post-camp events. We’re trying to build more year-round engagement, particularly since we know that K–12 cybersecurity opportunities for students…

The Next Big Hack Could Come From the Stars


(Bloomberg Opinion) — For decades, IT administrators have waged an endless war to protect their systems from hackers. That struggle started half a century ago with audio tapes and floppy discs the primary weapon, before faster wired and mobile communications allowed an adversary to breach a target’s network to steal credit card information or shut down oil pipelines.
