How to Make the Most of Your Lat Stretches (Video)

I have a love/hate relationship with the lats. On one hand, you need strong lats for all sorts of athletic endeavors, from throwing to sprinting. On the other hand, if they're too overactive, a host of different injuries/conditions can result. With that in mind, preserving full latissimus dorsi length is important, and that's why we incorporate a lot of stretches on this front. It's important that those stretches are done correctly, though, and in today's video, I want to discuss one big mistake we commonly see in this regard.

Speaking of upper body work, you'd enjoy checking out some of my good friend Tony Gentilcore's work on this front in the now-on-sale Complete Shoulder and Hip Blueprint. It's on sale for $100 off through the end of the day today. You can learn more HERE.

The Subculture of Policing

Interview With Ashley Hernandez, Director Of Product Management, Guidance

First of all, when did you start in this field? I started in the field of computer forensics when I was in college. But I started with Guidance about 13 years ago, in 2003. I’ve had many roles at Guidance. I started out actually in quality assurance, and then I worked in project management and training. Can you tell us about the new products that Guidance has recently released? Yeah, so we announced a couple of products – one is EnCase Mobile Investigator. EnCase Mobile Investigator is available for pre-sell, but it’s going to be available to Forensic customers and Endpoint Investigator customers. It’s really designed to review mobile acquisitions.

The Future Of ENF Systems

by James Zjalic The subject of authentication is important across the entire digital forensic field and we as examiners have various weapons at our disposal in which to defend against the onslaught of manipulators, liars and charlatans. Authentication is frequently amongst the first steps in creating a robust chain of custody for evidence received and can also be an investigation in and of itself. In no field is this more evident than that of audio forensics, where the ubiquitous rise in consumer audio software has caused the proliferation of attempts at the removal or editing of digital evidence. There are various techniques within audio forensics to authenticate a recording and many are borrowed from areas such as computer and image forensics. One method that is individual to audio forensics is that of ENF or Electric Network Frequency, or as sound engineers like to refer to it: ‘hum’. Read More

Interview With Paul Shomo, Senior Technical Manager, Guidance Software

Tell us a bit about your role and what a typical day in your life looks like. In 2006 Guidance had this new product research team that I was recruited into that was doing forward thinking research, new product launches, and they were just releasing the first incident response products, then they just did security alerts from sims, and then automated forensic response. So I ended up in there, and then I went on to manage and then architect cyber-security and forensic products for about eight years. Now I work with a lot of partners, scouting technology we can license into our product line. And I do a lot of writing. I’m a Dark Reading contributor and I’ve published recently in Security Week. So that’s my deal. That’s my background. Read More

What I Learned When I Listened to My Officers

Eight years into my career with Madison, I requested a six-month leave of absence without pay. I was tired and everyone around me knew it.

When the press I asked why I requested a leave, I said it was to write a book… But others around me knew otherwise. The speculation was that I was done. An anonymous source within the police department was quoted as saying,

“Couper won’t be back. He has talked a lot about teaching and writing, and I don’t think he’ll be back.”[1]

A day later I had to defend my request to inquiring reporters.

“After eight years, I think six months is a reasonable rest for a police chief in Madison… It’s a question of whether the people of Madison want a police chief with a heart attack, a police chief with a lot of other problems. I need this rest to be more creative and an even better executive. I am in tune with myself enough to know when it was time to take a break.”[2]

As it turned out, writing, skiing, connecting with friends I hadn’t seen for a while, and meeting some new ones, made all the difference in the world. It was time to recharge my batteries… Three months later, I surprised everyone and returned to full duty.

Upon my return, I started thinking about leadership—my leadership. Couldn’t I do better? I needed to find out. And the optimum way to find out was to ask those whom I was responsible for leading…

After talking with my wife, Sabine, who was very familiar with the workings of the department, she suggested I hold a number of employee meetings in which I would be there not to talk, but to listen.

I did so and asked each and every member of the department in these groups what they thought the biggest problem facing the department was. The answer was clear, direct, and unanimous—ME.  I was the problem…

Those small group meetings with every employee of the department were brutal, but absolutely necessary. If I had not done it, I never would have seen my vision come to fruition. And without this scanning and listening to employees, the changes I implemented never would have lasted beyond my tenure…”

When I asked my officers about what they would need from me in order to implement a new leadership style (Quality Leadership), this is what they told me:

1. We need support from above, especially from you.
2. Leaders must practice what they preach.
3. Leaders must trust our decision-making ability.
4. Our present leadership style is stagnant, we need to change to keep up.
5. The only way we will get creativity, pride, and an improved workplace is by using Quality Leadership.
6. This would yield tremendous results in the workplace, there will be negative implications if we don’t.
7. Let us share in decision-making and we will have success and pride in the results.
