The Bishop of Jujuy, Daniel Fernandez, and the Prelature of the city of Humahuaca urged this Tuesday to “put aside all kinds of violence”around the violent events in recent days in different parts of the province.
Through a note titled “A sad and forgettable day”the bishopric considered that “Perhaps more time should have been spent on the art of conversing and not having reached the situation that was generated today”.

“We cannot be once morest each other, but we must all be united in the only thing that matters, which is the good of the people of Jujuy,” added Bishop Fernández.
He also stressed: “We reject all violencecome from whichever side it comes from because it threatens the dignity of every human person and leads to a point of no return or from which it is very difficult to return”.
JXC denounced the actions of the National government in the Jujuy crisis: “We express our resounding support for the Morales government”
Message of ‘social pacification’ from the Prelature of Humahuaca
For her part, the Humahuaca Prelature He released another statement in which he expressed himself in terms similar to that of the bishopric and upheld the “importance of dialogue as a mechanism to seek possible solutions to different claims and problems”.
Besides, recommended “not resorting to confrontation and violence, resources and behaviors that never come to fruition when looking for solutions to a conflict”.
“We call on all sectors of society, mainly our governments, political and social leaders, to bet on immediate social pacification and call for dialoguea dialogue where political, ideological, sectoral interests, etc., do not prevail, but rather tends to establish coexistence and social peace, a good and a right of all citizens”, concludes the note from the Prelature.

Gay Shame Pillories London Breed, Gay SF Supervisors in Pride Month Installation at ATA
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
2023-06-21 00:24:11
The queer activist collective Gay Shame is at it once more, this time with a Pride Month installation at Valencia Street’s ATA that delivers satirical mockeries of Mayor Breed, and Supervisors Rafael Mandelman and Matt Dorsey.
It’s Pride Month, so it should not be surprising that we’re hearing once more from the local chapter of Gay Shamethe radical queer activist collective whose whole purpose is to be the antithesis of Pride festivities that are increasingly corporate, capitalized, and homogenous. While Gay Shame started in New York City in the late 1990s, the Gay Shame movement soon got itself a San Francisco chapter, which gained prominence ten or so years back for their vitriolic anti-tech, anti-gentrification flyers and “Queers Hate Techies” stencil campaign.
We had not heard much from Gay Shame since their 2021 art installation depicting the beheading of a fnnch honey bear. That was seen in the windows of the Valencia Street’s Artists’ Television Access (ATA), and a Monday social media post tipped us off that the Gay Shame gang was up to their old tricks with a new installation in the same window.

Gay Shame’s Instagram account does seem to take credit for the act, and the installation has apparently been there for weeks. “This June GAY SHAME is celebrating the grand opening of the LGBT-PIC Cop Cultural District,” says the post dated June 8. “London Breed was joined at tonight’s ceremony by two of her Gay Best Fascist (GBF) to celebrate Stonewall, the first pro-police riot.”
There were not paper artist’s statements as there were for the fnnch installation, though the words “Gay Shame” and “Queers Hate Cops”do appear in stencil work at the bottom of the installation.

Let’s unpack what we see going on here. A cardboard cutout of Mayor Breed is cutting a rainbow ribbon, while next to her, a cutout of openly gay SF Supervisor Rafael Mandelman dons a police hat and holds an SFPD flyer.

A cutout of gay District 6 Supervisor Matt Dorsey holds a “Party N Police” sign, a likely reference to his time as a police department public relations guy. And I suppose there is hay to be made that Dorsey is calling for harsher crackdowns on drug dealers and users, when he and his own dealers avoided such consequences when Dorsey struggled with substance abuse.

There are several references to the “LGBT-PIC Cop Cultural District,” a fictional construct mocking the police.

Another segment in paintings behind the display showing the phrase “Assigned Cop At Birth,” a take on the acronym for “All Cops Are Bastards.”

And we will tip our hat to this clever reference to the art gallery owner who water-sprayed a homeless woman, also see in the painting in the rear of the display.
This is all likely a response to last year’s London Breed boycott of the Pride Parade over the decision to ban uniformed officers. That decision was reversed in a compromise, and Breed got COVID and mightn’t participate in the parade anyway. But this particular display indicates that the wounds from that controversy may not yet have fully healed, among some at least.

Microsoft expands cybersecurity training initiatives in Brazil
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
2023-06-20 16:45:05
Global demand for cybersecurity professionals has grown by an average of 35% over the past year. It is expected that by 2025 there will be more than 3.5 million job openings in this area;
Microsoft is focused on delivering cybersecurity training with the goal of creating inclusive learning environments through training programs and educational partnerships, which already have trained more than 400,000 people worldwide.
No brazil, a Microsoft works with academia, NGOs, the public sector and private companies to improve the country’s security and develop the necessary talent pool for a secure digital transformation.
São Paulo, June 2023 – Every second, 921 password attacks occur worldwide, representing an annual growth of 74%. Crimes like ransomware and phishing continue to wreak havoc on individuals, businesses and governments and have become a major threat to organizations around the world. According to the Microsoft Digital Defense Report, the cost of cyber incidents continues to rise, reaching $4.35 million on average.
As cybercriminals increase the number and sophistication of attacks, and organizations need to do more to protect their digital assets, the world faces a global crisis for cybersecurity professionals. The demand for people with these skills has grown, on average, by 35% over the last year, and the expectation is that by 2025 there will be more than 3.5 million job openings for professionals of this type, according to Cyber Security Ventures. That’s a 350% increase over an eight-year period. In Brazil, according to data from (ISC), in 2022, there was a deficit of more than 300,000 positions in cybersecurity.
“The number and sophistication of cybersecurity attacks is increasing every day. It is critical that we invest in the cybersecurity workforce to ensure there are enough people with the necessary skills to protect the digital ecosystem. We are committed to generating learning channels for people, with a special emphasis on women, to boost the economy and improve opportunities for thousands of Brazilian men and women”, says Vanessa Pádua, Director of Cybersecurity at Microsoft for Latin America & the Caribbean.
In Brazil, the demand for cybersecurity professionals has increased by 26% in the last year, according to the (ISC) Cybersecurity Workforce Study 2022. There is a huge opportunity to create high-paying jobs in the country. Creating programs and improving training to meet this growing need is not only essential for the country’s digital transformation, but also represents an opportunity to generate quality jobs.
At the same time, there is a huge opportunity to close the gender gap as, according to research “Empowering Women to Work in Cybersecurity Is a Win-Win“, from the Boston Consulting Group, globally 75% of cybersecurity teams are made up of men, and only 25% are women. For this reason, one of Microsoft’s goals is to ensure that traditionally excluded populations – including women – have opportunities to enter the cybersecurity workforce. Leaving them out of this market is a waste of talent that will only undermine our ability to meet the country’s critical demand, reducing our ability to innovate.
Microsoft has redoubled its efforts in building security talent and provided training to more than 400,000 people worldwide. Globally, it expanded its Cybersecurity Skills initiative to new countries, including Brazil. Through this action, Microsoft awards grants to nonprofit organizations to help train people in cybersecurity skills. The initiative, which is present in 28 countries, seeks to develop the next generation of cybersecurity professionals to enable the country’s digital transformation.
In addition, LinkedIn offers free training through its learning platform, including courses such as “The Cybersecurity Threat Landscape” and “Cybersecurity Fundamentals,” and Microsoft Learn offers free security courses for students and professionals, with 47 learning paths and hundreds of hours of content. In addition, Microsoft is partnering with educational institutions to provide free curriculum and training for educators through its Microsoft Learn for Educators program, featuring courses such as Microsoft Security, Identity and Compliance Fundamentals, Microsoft Azure Security Technologies Certification, and more. Currently, more than 1,000 higher education institutions around the world have joined the program.
This year, Microsoft Brazil together with the Digital Innovation Movement (MID)an association that brings together the largest digital platforms operating in Brazil, launched a document providing practical advice and guidance to assist companies in creating an effective information security strategy. With the guide, readers have access to an immersion in the world of cybersecurity, walking through a large amount of information and tips that will help C-Level executives and other managers to understand the importance of the subject.
The company also launched a Microsoft Cyber Exercise pilot project at Fatecs in Americana, in the interior of São Paulo, and São Caetano, in the Greater ABC region of São Paulo, and at the Federal Institute of Londrina. This is a project that offers a free training and practical course on cybersecurity for technical education students. The initiative begins in June online, and will offer practical attack and defense exercises that will form part of the training of these students.
“We want to contribute with initiatives that qualify and empower people and organizations so that they are prepared to act in a scenario with increasing digital threats, in volume, speed and sophistication. Our goal is to avoid possible damage to society, the economy, reputation and the operation of critical areas of the most diverse industries in our country”, comments Vanessa.
To help illustrate the cybersecurity skills gap, Microsoft is introducing this new dynamic table. For more details on the company’s global initiative to close the gender gap in the area, click here. In addition, in March of this year, Microsoft Brazil launched the new portal of Conecta+, which becomes the hub for all free training and retraining programs made available to the general public by the company, including initiatives carried out in partnership with other companies and the private sector. In this space, you can find Microsoft Reactor courses, exclusive training for women, courses offered by Escola do Trabalhador 4.0 in partnership with the Ministry of Labor and Employment, LinkedIn Learning trails and much more.
