Complicating an already complex topic is the fact



So, server side, you end up with the controller being the receiver for the HTTP request, which picks some model data and puts it in … usually some sort of unstructured bag. In Catalyst we have a hash attached to the request context called the stash. In Rails they use the controller's instance attributes and then you hand that unstructured bag of model objects off to a template,Our Wholesale Cheap New Sexy chiffon Flower One-shoulder Draped Evening Dresses Prom Dresses are feminine, sexy and sassy, ideal for every special occasion.Our range of Discount Sexy Tulle Sweetheart Beaded Crystal Mermaid Evening/Prom Dresses adds a touch of fun and glam to an evening. which then renders it – this is your server-side view.Journalists are perhaps second only to human-rights activists in the need for digital security practices in their work. Yet while journalists operating in repressive regimes have for decades known all too intimately the perils of loose communication practices, many of these understandings have only recently started to become clear for journalists in the U.S.For American journalists, the work of Edward Snowden and Glenn Greenwald should arguably have had a two-fold impact on their digital security practice. The first stems from the awareness that many of the communication channels we use regularly when working with sources are not really protected from government surveillance, either legally or technically. The second comes from the appreciation that from here on out, understanding digital security may be a prerequisite for getting access to the really big stories.Yet actually doing the work of providing digital security training to journalists is not so easily done.

Complicating an already complex topic is the fact that most journalists don't really know what they need, an issue exacerbated by the range of roles and activities that our profession contains. What's needed by a freelancer overseas may be very different from what's needed by a police reporter in a small Midwestern newsroom. And while the scoops may be real, their potential value is hard to quantify against the cost of security training, equipment and support.There is also the challenge of widespread cultural assumptions - not reserved to journalism - about the teachability of technical topics like digital security. As a former newsroom developer and current professor at Columbia Journalism School, I am familiar with may of the common complaints: It's too complicated, it changes too fast,Get free shipping & returns on cute Discount Spandex High neck collar Beaded Crystal Sheath Evening/Pageant Dresses! it's irrelevant to most people anyway. Yet these challenges reflect failures of perspective, not possibility. After three years of professional teaching (and a few more at it informally) I have found that with the following in mind, it's more than possible to teach technical topics to a (largely) non-technical audience. In fact, you may even find that you spark some new affinities for the material.The importance of providing context in education is hardly reserved for journalism or technical material. Using realistic examples and embedding new concepts in relevant tasks make them easier understand, retain and transfer to real-world situations.
