Powerful Photos From the Indigenous Peoples March on Washington

On Friday, January 18, Indigenous organizers took their movement to the capitol, inaugurating the first-ever Indigenous Peoples March on Washington (#IPMDC19). According to organizer Roberto Borrero, who spoke with Teen Vogue, over 1,000 people representing more than 100 tribal nations marched in Washington, D.C. — traditionally Paskatawe land — calling for policies that strengthen Native sovereignty and recognition of the deep injustices that continue to affect their communities.

Organizers for the event claim that the violence of settler colonization hasn’t disappeared into the past; today, it takes form as extractive industry land violations, police brutality, disappearing Native women and girls, systematic voter suppression, contaminated natural resources, structural poverty, and other manifestations of collective oppression. These challenges afflict communities everywhere, from South Dakota to Guatemala.

Speakers at the march inspired the crowd to keep organizing to protect their rights and also facilitated group prayers and dances. The day in Washington, D.C. was as much about strengthening future coalitions as healing from past trauma. After centuries of forced assimilation, genocide, and erasure, the Indigenous movement shows tremendous resilience — as signs held by those on the ground read, “we are still here,” “we are unafraid,” and “we are rising up.”

The Most Photographed Stone East of the Mississippi

Very near the Soudan Underground State Park administered by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is what some people call “the most photographed outcrop in the state.” This is a pavement outcrop of folded banded iron formation. The outcrop consists of metallic hematite, red jasper and white chert. These originally horizontal layers have been folded multiple times. In some areas, the jasper and chert have fractures filled with milky quartz.

I’m proud to say that 100% of my devices are now solar powered!

My GoPro charging cable plugs into my computer (which I *didn’t* know prior to purchasing either), so by that timely stroke of luck, my entire mobile device and accessories life is completely solar powered. It took less than 6 months (June 1st - November 20th) to get everything I carry around with me off the grid! I haven’t plugged anything but my computer into a wall in 6 months! (I literally no longer own wall outlet adapters)

My phone, my wireless headphones, my Bluetooth speaker, my Amazon Echo Dot, my GoPro, my video camera, my running headphones, my roommate’s PS4 controllers, and now, finally, my laptop.

Sunlight. Is. Awesome.

Make the leap. Go portable solar.

Xavors Agile Multi-Factor Authentication Solution

Xavor’s Agile Multi-Factor Authentication solution allows you to introduce another layer of security when accessing Agile. When users attempt to log into Agile PLM, they are asked for an access code. The access code is then sent to the email address registered with their Agile account. Seamless integration with existing and future Agile users removes the burden on IT for managing user accounts. Integration with existing third-party MFA providers can be done seamlessly with Xavor’s Agile Multi-Factor Authentication solution. Here are some of the benefits and features of our MFA solution. Benefits and Features Agile doesn’t provide MFA out of the box.

Advanced filtering based on some pre-existing information in Agile allows more granular control over prompts for MFA. Customizable duration of the access code expiry. Customizable text and error messages for login and MFA prompts. Integration with third-party MFA providers like DUO allows you to use existing solutions with Agile. Auditing and reporting functionality makes it easy to meet stringent compliance requirements. Administrators can report on authentication attempts and user activity. The Admin Panel allows administrators to exclude or include specific users. It also allows you to finetune the messages and timeouts for MFA.
