The Only Video Conference Solution with Zero-Knowledge Encryption

If you are using Teams, Skype, Zoom, or Google Meet video calls for work, you may want to check your settings. All calls made on those platforms are not secure and can be seen by their providers, who tend to use the term “end-to-end encryption” loosely. So, the sensitive data or confidential information you share over calls isn’t as private or confidential as you thought!

Lakes Software just launched Tauria, the world’s first video conference solution that offers true, zero-knowledge end-to-end encryption. This means your data is locked and only you (and those you share access with) have the key. That’s right, not even Tauria will have access!

Tauria’s encrypted video calls can be used for video conferences for up to 50 people, 1-on-1 calls, and screen sharing. What’s more, your messaging and file sharing can also be done on Tauria. Everything you need, secure in one place.

Users on Tauria can work online and collaborate while protecting confidential and critical work information. All data is protected by zero-knowledge encryption protocols which means your calls, messages, and files are unreadable by outside parties, including governments, competitors, and even Tauria themselves.

Adding or Importing Chemicals to SLAB View

SLAB View can be an excellent choice for modelers needing to assess impacts and predict hazardous zones resulting from accidental releases. In addition to its easy-to-use source term and input wizard, SLAB View presents high-resolution graphical output in both 2D & 3D so modelers can quickly see how the release develops over time and what the total footprint of the release will be.

One important part of SLAB View is defining the release chemical. The application has a built-in Chemical Database containing properties of nearly 250 unique chemicals. Users may still need to add their own chemicals or mixtures. Follow the steps below to add your own User Defined chemicals to SLAB View.

Step 1: Open the Chemical Database. This can be done from the Data | Chemical Database menu or by clicking the Chem button on the main tool bar.

Step 2: The Default database shows the list of chemicals already included. To search the database, first select the column of the field you want to search like Chemical Name or CAS #. Type in your query in the Search field, and the Database will jump to a close match.

Step 3: If the chemical or mixture is not present, select the User Defined tab to add your own custom information.

Step 4: To add an individual entry, click the Add button to open the Add Chemical dialog.

Best effort to obtain useful and accurate results for each chemical property should be taken, though it should be noted that all literature does not agree on some values.

Step 5: To add multiple chemicals, a template can be prepared and imported into the Database using the Import button. Files can be imported in XML or Text (semicolon delimited) format. The parameter values should be listed in the same order as the order of columns in the Chemical Database.

New Model for Pricing Carbon Will Help Meet Net-Zero Climate Change Goals

August 17, 2020- An article released today by researchers at Columbia University’s Center on Global Energy Policy in the journal Nature Climate Change introduces a new approach for pricing carbon — Near-term to Net Zero. As policymakers and advocates increasingly focus on net-zero emissions by midcentury, the Near-term to Net Zero approach is a method of setting carbon prices that could ensure net-zero emissions goals are met as one piece of comprehensive climate policies.
