Each year thousands of people worldwide gather on the anniversary of mankind's first venture into space by Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin on April 12, 1961 and the first space shuttle launch on the same day 20 years later. Held simultaneously at 80 locations around the world, Yuri's Night excites people about space exploration, science, technology, and the future of our species.
In 2007, Yuri's Night Bay Area (YNBA) was held for the first time in Hangar N211 at NASA Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, Calif. With over 4,000 participants, it was the largest Yuri's Night to date and brought scientists, artists, and engineers together with Bay Area youths for a truly unique combination of education and celebration.
On April 12, 2008, building on last year's incredible success and in conjunction with NASA's 50th anniversary, Yuri's Night Bay Area will grow to 8,000 people in a 12-hour festival and symposium including both daytime and nighttime events lasting from 2 p.m. to 2 a.m. This unique event will feature participatory science, space-themed art and technology exhibits, live music and dance, and discussion about science, technology, and the future of our species. The theme for this year's events, "Radical Technology for a Sustainable Future," will encourage participants to reflect on how humans survive in the ultimate resource-starved environment, outer space, and how space technology and research can help us to better prepare for a sustainable future on Earth.
Participants will join in discussions hosted by local science and technology clubs, learn new skills in hands-on workshops, and engage with the work done at NASA Ames through tours of the facility.
The hangar and adjoining tarmac will be filled with space and sustainability-inspired art exhibits and interactive technology and science demonstrations, including innovations in robotics, engineering, chemistry, and astronomy, all presented by NASA and Bay Area scientists and engineers. All this will occur in a festival atmosphere feature world-class musical performances, acrobatics, and dance.
Yuri's Night Bay Area 2008 will bring together a range of communities, including space and science enthusiasts. Silicon Valley professionals, academic researchers, entrepreneurs and the broader community of smart, energetic and creative people who make the Bay Area so vibrant. The daytime events, new in 2008, will offer event collaborators many opportunities to meet and engage the newest generation of scientists and engineers.

The Solution Focused approach is a method of communication/counselling in which dialogue is built on investigating solutions rather than investigating causes of problems, empowering the client to move forward rather than encouraging a lengthy dependency on the client-practitioner relationship. It acknowledges that each client may already be acting in a way that is not part of the problem and helps him or her to recognise this, encouraging more of this type of behaviour.
The Change Certificate in Solution Focused Practice provides an extended foundation-training course in SF skills and SF theories, which makes the Change Foundation the unit 1 of 4 of this Certificate course. The course is suitable for candidates wishing to prepare for higher level study and careers in counselling, social care and management etc. as well as those wishing to develop their skills as part of an existing job role.
Most solution focused conversations entail asking effective questions, rather than making statements or giving advice. We use appreciative, respectful curiosity to create opportunities for the other person (or group) to think creatively about how to progress towards their goals. This unit involves the learners in role play discovery, looking in depth at how the basic structure of a session can be extrapolated and the conversation co-constructed to create that preferred future that the clients seek.
A large part of this unit explores child development and the reasons why SF works so well with younger adults in particular. The growth of 'Youth Culture' family influences and peer pressures are looks at in relation to 21st century life as a reality for the next generation.
What postmodern philosophies teach us about how we construct a sense of identity through the language we use and how this influences the language in a solution focused session.
Case studies and discussions about ethical dilemmas challenge the learners to examine their own understanding of the role of a practitioner within the constraints of professional life.
There is a critical analysis thread through all Four units with models of reflection, incorporating hope streams pre-and post-unit activities.
There are four units, four weekends.
Each unit costs £200 but a discount fee of £700 is available for up front payment.
The course duration is for one academic semester spread over 4 weekends.


pint-sized mama: Can God Redeem How We View Ourselves?
Can God Redeem How We View Ourselves?
If you've wondered if God can redeem how you view yourself, this post is for you. If you have a string of lie-based labels for yourself, and you want to get past them - this post is for you. If you struggle with accepting how God has made you - please keep reading.
My friend Brin is sharing her story today - a story of how God redeemed her sense of self. Brin, I am blown away at how God is speaking through you in this post. Your words today have truly blessed me. Thank you for your honesty!
I have always had a problem with my weight. Chubby kid. Fat Teen. Obese Mom. Ugh. The last one always gets to me. I cringe at the thought that a doctor can, without a doubt, say that I am obese. I used to blame everything and everyone else. I use to take the approach "I'll start on Monday". That Monday comes and goes, and next Sunday the same ugly cycle continues. Soon after having Dexter I went home one weekend for a friend's bridal shower. Searching high and low for that perfect outfit for my not so perfect body was becoming a struggle. Eventually I gave up, grabbed my go to dress, and we hit the road. When I got to my mom's and we started talking about it all. I could think about was how embarrassed I was of myself for not only letting myself go after having a baby, but so much before. The next morning I began to try on the dress and it didn't fit. This wasn't a case of me just 'thinking' it didn't fit - it REALLY did not fit. And that is why I began to sob. Uncontrollably sob over the fact that I couldn't find an outfit that properly fit me. You have to know that I was still extremely hormonal and running on a small amount of sleep so it would not be uncommon to find me sobbing in the bathroom. At this moment is when it hit me, or should I say 'He' hit me. God told me that I need to let go of what I want to look like and use what I have right now. I sat there confused and thinking. I'm not that kind of person who has these 'moments'. I'm not that in touch with God sometimes so he can't really be talking to me. Can he?
My best friend, Moriah (I was attending her bridal shower) and I a couple weeks after I had Dex.
It's only then that I realized that He is telling me that I need to be myself and be comfortable with that. I need to take the steps that are needed and work on my health. But right now that is not an option and I can't fix it. The Lord helped me realize that the view of myself is not the one that everyone else sees. He will never judge me for my weight. He will always be there no matter what I need to see. He helped me redeem the view of myself as just that. Myself. I needed to stop thinking in my head that other people were judging me, and take the time to learn to love these extra curves (or three) and just go with it. And that I did. I found a great pair of leggings and a glittery top and shined the rest of the day. Literally.
Are you crying yet? Cuz tears were flowing when Brin sent me these words.
I love this: "The Lord helped me realize that the view of myself is not the one that everyone else sees. He will never judge me for my weight. He will always be there no matter what I need to see. He helped me redeem the view of myself as just that."
I need to let the truth of Brin's words (and God's words!) to sink in today.
If this post blessed you today, will you please go tell Brin? You can find her at her blog, Bold Butter Baby, on Twitter, and on Facebook! Comments turned off so that you can say hello!
I'd love to promote your blog or shop and bring lots of love your way throughout this holiday season!

Ten Years After Newcastle Mayfair 5th Oct 1973 & Newcastle City Hall 21st April 1974
Posted by vintagerock in Ten Years After. Tagged: blues, classic rock, concert, concerts, gig, gigs, music, rock, rock n roll. 2 comments
Friday night at the Mayfair, 1973, and Ten Years After were playing! There was a special buzz about this gig. It wasn't that often that we got the chance to see Alvin Lee and Co. in a ballroom setting. We went through early and joined the queue which curled right down the length of Newgate Street. Once inside we wandered around the balcony, visited the many bars and then tried to get a good spot on the dance floor, ready for when TYA came on stage. To say the place was packed was an understatement. You could hardly move. The band rocked that night, and the Mayfair crowd gave them a hero's welcome. A great gig. Support came from a band called Ruby (?) We emerged hot and sweaty into the cold night air sometime after midnight and walked the 15 miles home. We got home in the early hours, exhausted. Well worth it; those were the days.
Come 1974 and TYA released their eighth album Positive Vibrations. It wasn't their best and reviews weren't very positive. Rolling Stone said of the lp: "TYA have changed musical directions so often in the past that they've never been able to develop a comfortable sound within any field, so now they sound as though they're merely dabbling in various styles. …. Alvin Lee & Co. have stuck their fingers into so many musical pies that they're now as confused as anyone attempting to follow their music. "
Things weren't so good in the TYA camp. Alvin was launching a solo career, and live reviews of TYA were not so hot. Reviewing a London Rainbow gig in the NME, Tony Stewart wrote: : "Competent musicians TYA may be, entertainers they certainly are not. Their stage presence was as flat as a Woolworth's portrait reproduction. Alvin Lee's delivery of notes at an immense speed resembled a production line worker knocking rivets into a car body: precise motions, but without any other purpose than holding something together until it's time to go home (I'm Going Home that is). Sorry, but it was a relief when it was."
I think Alvin was just tired of playing Going Home and of an audience who just wanted to relive Woodstock. "The stopping point came when I felt I'd written every song I could think of with Ten Years After and played every solo…all I was doing was pinching bits from this and that and putting them together differently and it was starting to get repetitive….Ten Years After aren't functioning at the moment." (Alvin Lee speaking to Lorna Read, Beat Instrumental Magazine, 1974).
I saw Ten Years After once more at the City Hall in April 1974. In my eyes they were still great. But it was almost over. The following night, Ten Years After played their last UK gig in Manchester. Officially the band was resting, mothballed, but there were no more TYA appearances for 10 years or so when the band reunited for some shows. Alvin focused on his solo career from then on.
Ten Years After setlist at the time was something like: Rock & Roll Music To The World, Nowhere To Run, Good Morning Little School Girl, It's Getting Harder, Hobbit, Love Like A Man, Slow Blues In C, Look Me Straight Into The Eyes, Classical Thing, Scat Thing, I Can't Keep From Crying Sometimes, I'm Going Home, Sweet Little Sixteen, Choo Choo Mama
Thanks to John for the poster image.
I saw Alvin Lee several times over the years. He remained an amazing guitarist, powerful performer, and I always enjoyed seeing him play. But there was a magic about Ten Years After in the early 70s that could never be recreated. Never the most fashionable band, and often the victim of some unfair press, on a good night (and they mostly were good nights) Alvin Lee was incredible, and Ten Years After were one of the best rock'n'roll and blues bands in the world.
RIP Alvin Lee.
Ten Years After Newcastle City Hall 29th October 1972

"Who is the best guitarist?"
We would have endless discussions like that at school, debating about our personal favourites and almost coming to blows with friends. The music press wasn't much better, with the Melody Maker polls, and articles which discussed in great detail the technique of all our idols. It was, of course, accepted that Hendrix was the master, but then what was the ranking after that? Eric Clapton was the blues "god", the standard by which we measured blues guitar; Jimmy Page was pure rock and riffs, Peter Green was all emotional blues and "feel", Jeff Beck was the elusive genius, and Alvin Lee? Alvin was fast, speed, technique, flash, and rock'n'roll. Alvin wasn't into any sort of show. He strapped on his red Gibson, walked on that stage, and played. And boy how he played.
It was silly really. All of those guys had their own style, their own brand, and they were all so different and so excellent in their own way. The debate was ill-founded, futile, and only caused arguments and bad feeling.
I saw Ten Years After again on 29th October 1972 at Newcastle City Hall. Support came from the excellent Frankie Miller who was backed by Brinsley Schwartz. This was another great gig. John reminds me that loads of us went. Everyone I knew from school who was into rock was at this gig, we ran into loads of mates; there must have been 20 or 30 of us. Ten Years After were once again, great. The setlist was probably something like this: One of These Days; You Give Me Loving; Good Morning, Little Schoolgirl; Rock & Roll Music to the World; Turned Off TV Blues; Standing at the Station; I Can't Keep from Crying; I'm Going Home; Choo Choo Mama; Baby Won't You Let Me Rock 'n' Roll You, and will likely also have included a classical guitar piece and a scat guitar jam.
I do remember several encores that night, and us all rushing right down to the front, cramming the area near the stage. When it looked like it was all over, they would come on again, while we nervously looked at our watches, in fear of missing the last train, which I think we did, incidentally. However, all was not lost, there was a later bus, which took us all over the place. We then had to walk a few miles, arriving home in the early hours.
If you had asked me that night, I would, of course, have said "Alvin Lee". 100% and no contest 🙂 Happy Days.
Thanks to John for the image of his poster.
Ten Years After Newcastle City Hall 16th September 1971

Ten Years After Newcastle City Hall 16th September 1971 Back in the late '60s we carried our lp sleeves almost as badges of honour. I looked up to the sixth formers who would come to school wearing their great coats or afghans, proudly clutching their latest albums under their arm for all to see. It was a way of showing everyone exactly what sort of music you were into. The coolest of the sixth formers would walk around carrying Cream's Wheels of Fire, Tyrannosaurus Rex's Beard of Stars, Led Zeppelin 1 or 2, The Mothers' We're Only in it for the Money or Lumpy Gravy (very cool), or Beefheart's Trout Mask Replica (even more cool). Two other albums which featured were Ten Year's Afters' Stonedhenge and Ssssh (which had a great red fuzzy blurred semi-psychedelic picture of Alvin Lee on its front cover). The sixth former' had a record club where they played these lps on an old Dansette player. As a younger student, I wasn't allowed to bring my own lps, but they did let me sit in once or twice. They all sat cross-legged, listening intently, nodding their heads, looking knowingly at each other. I was totally in awe of them and of the magic sounds which came out of their old record machine. Some of that music was the sound of Alvin Lee's guitar, and it just blew me away. One of the first times that I heard Ten Years After was the track Speed Kills which appears on a sampler album The World of Blues Power Volume 2. The track, as the title suggests, features some amazingly fast fretwork from Lee. I was trying desperately to master the guitar at the time, and Alvin Lee was one of my idols. I tried, usually without success, to learn those licks. I would play the lp at slow speed and try to work out what Alvin was playing and how he did it. I then had to transpose the key because of the difference in speed; it hardly every worked, much to my frustration. I guess it was never really meant to be. I ended up going to see my guitar heroes, always secretly wishing I could have been one of them. My other early experience of Ten Years After was the hit single Love Like a Man, which was a big favourite of all my friends. The other event which sticks in my mind when thinking of Ten Years After, and which I have to mention, is of course the Woodstock film. We all trooped down to Studio 1 cinema to see Woodstock on the first day that it was shown in town, wearing our best weekend hippy gear. Now the film has many great moments, but the one that had the greatest impact on me was Alvin Lee performing I'm Going Home, which was simply breath taking. The performance, the speed, the energy, the crowd reaction, the way the images cleverly flashed from one view of Alvin to another; to a young teenager sitting in the third row of the cinema it was mind blowing. That was the moment that confirmed me as a big fan of Ten Years After, and in particular, of Alvin Lee. The first time I got to see Ten Years After in concert was in September 1971. Support came from (pre massive fame) Supertramp (the cover of their album seemed very rude to a young guy) and folk singer Keith Christmas. Both supports were excellent. Those were the days before I discovered the temptations of the bar, and watched ever minute of the support acts. But I was there to see the man who had amazed me in Woodstock; Alvin Lee. And he, and Ten Years After, rose to the occasion and gave us a blistering performance. TYA had just released their sixth album (they had been busy guys) A Space In Time. I think they started with One of These Days, which was also the opening track of the album, and a very powerful song. One Of These Days starts with the sound of Alvin's guitar gradually increasing in volume, he then cuts the chord, and his lone voice launches straight into the first line "One of these Days Boy!", Leo Lyon's bass thunders in and away we go, Ric Lee gently touching his cymbals, and the song takes off, Chick Churchill's swirling Hammond provides a backdrop for Lee's guitar, which is quite restrained compared to some other songs. Great! And on stage in front of me was Alvin Lee, playing his famous red Gibson 335; yes it was the same one he played at Woodstock. I don't remember exactly what they played; I think it included the moody, lurching and doomy I Can't Keep From Crying, Sometimes, their great cover of Good Morning Little Schoolgirl, and of course they played Going Home; I watched Alvin's fingers intently, trying to pick up some tips. But there was more to Alvin Lee than speed and technical guitar flash, the guy understood the blues, was a master of light and shade, used dynamics of sound and speed to great effect, and could play rock'n'roll just like Chuck. And he had a perfect rock voice. One song, I don't know which, featured Alvin scat singing along with his guitar, showing his jazz influences. And Ten Years After weren't just Alvin Lee. Lee Lyons pounded away at his bass, head hung over his instrument, speeding along with Lee. Chick Chruchill provided that classic '60s swirling Hammond sound, and drummer Ric Lee understood the light and shade of blues drumming. I next saw Ten Years After when they headlined the Sunday night of the 1972 Reading Festival. I stood in that field, as close to the stage as I could get. They played Going Home and I thought I was at Woodstock 🙂 Happy days. We will never ever see the like again. I saw Ten Years After a few more times and I'll spend the next few days reflecting on just how great they were, and how sadly missed the great Alvin Lee is. Many thanks to John and Mitch for their images of posters from the City Hall gig.
Alvin Lee (solo) in concert 1979 to 2004

The late great Alvin Lee is a hero of mine. From the moment I saw his incredible performance in the Woodstock film I was hooked. That excerpt of him playing Going Home just blew me away. His guitar playing was exceptional, so fast; it seemed incredible, almost impossible that anyone could play at that speed. I sat in my bedroom practicing for ages, playing my vinyl copy of Going Home at 16rpm to try and pick out the notes. Sadly I failed; I went back to learning Clapton and Peter Green licks. At least they were slower, although I could never get the feel right. Oh and the single Love Like a Man was also a great favourite of mine when I was at school. Today I'm reflecting on the times I saw Alvin Lee in concert as a solo artist. I will write about the great Ten Years After when I get to the letter "T" (sorry for splitting Alvin's work in this way, but that's the way my programme and ticket collection is organised so I have to stick with it now :)).
My first engagement with the solo Alvin, was according to my tickets, in 1979 at Newcastle City Hall. Actually I am pretty sure that he was touring with a three piece band called Ten Years Later at the time, but the promoter obviously felt it better to list the gig as an Alvin Lee concert. The place was pretty empty as I recall, and Alvin was playing some new material, some rock n roll classics, and a few Ten Years After tunes. I think he played Good Morning Little Schoolgirl, Choo Choo Mama and Going Home. As always his guitar technique was excellent and his energy was boundless. The guy simply WAS rock n roll.
There was a long gap before I saw Alvin again. The next time was at Sunderland Empire in the early 90s, possibly in 1993 or 1994. By then Alvin had returned to playing many of the TYA classics and just tore the place apart. The last Alvin Lee concert I attended was when I went with a group of mates to see him, Edgar Winter and Tony McPhee on a blues package bill at Newcastle Opera House. I found a setlist from around that time which includes: Rock and Roll Music to the World; Hear Me Calling; I Can't Keep From Crying Sometimes; How Do You Do It; Don't Want You Woman; Getting Nowhere Fast; I Don't Give a Damn; I'm Gonna Make It; Slow Blues in "C"; Skooby-Ooobly-Doobop; Love Like a Man; I'm Going Home; Rip It Up; Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On / Johnny B. Goode / Bye Bye Johnny. Again, Alvin was superb, much better than the other bands on the bill. Edgar Winter was also pretty good. Although I am a big fan of Tony McPhee his performance that night wasn't too hot, I'm afraid.
When I think of Alvin Lee I picture him playing Going Home or Good Morning Little Schoolgirl, with a red Gibson guitar, super fast guitar playing and a unique mix of rock'n'roll, jazz and blues. Oh and sometimes some pretty crazy scat singing.
When I heard Alvin Lee had passed away I couldn't believe it. He seemed so full of energy and always looked so fit. He is a big miss. There really wasn't any other guitar player like him, and there still isn't.

East Aurora, NY—Moog Inc. (NYSE: MOG.A and MOG.B) today announced first quarter sales of $601 million, up 8% from a year ago. Net earnings were $36.4 million and earnings per share were $.80, up 10% from last year's first quarter.
Aircraft segment sales of $231 million were up 18% from last year with strong results in both military and commercial markets. Military aircraft sales were up 19%, to $143 million driven by the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program and foreign military sales. Military aftermarket sales of $49 million were up 4%.
Commercial aircraft sales of $88 million were 16% higher than a year ago. OEM production revenues were up for both Airbus and Boeing. Commercial aircraft aftermarket sales, at $26 million, were unchanged. Business jet sales were $5 million higher, or 57%, as new business jet programs transition to production.
Space and Defense sales at $88 million were down 8% than a year ago. Sales in the space market, including launch vehicle and NASA sales, were up by $10 million, partially offsetting a decrease in Driver's Vision Enhancer systems during the quarter.
Industrial Systems sales of $158 million were up 10% from a year ago. Sales of simulation and test systems were $32 million, up 25%, while industrial automation sales were up 8%. Sales of controls for wind turbines were 5% higher at $32 million.
Components Group sales of $88 million were up 2% in the quarter. Industrial sales were 18% higher, partly reflecting the acquisition of Animatics. Medical components sales were 20% higher.
Medical Devices sales were 7% higher at $35 million. Pump sales were up 14% while sales of administration sets were up 5%.
Twelve month consolidated backlog on January 1, 2012 was $1.30 billion, an increase of 9% from a year ago.
In updating its guidance for fiscal 2012, the Company has taken into account that the strong first quarter had the benefit of accelerated shipments of foreign military aircraft sales which will not repeat in later quarters. The Company's updated sales forecast of $2.48 billion reflects the impact of weaker foreign currencies and slightly reduced industrial sales. Management is now projecting somewhat improved margins on slightly lower sales and as a result, net earnings guidance of $152 million and earnings per share of $3.31 are unchanged.
"We are off to a great start for fiscal 2012," said John Scannell, CEO. "Our first quarter sales are up nicely and earnings per share were better than our forecast. Sales in four of our five segments were up in the quarter as were profits. It is a great foundation for a year in which we anticipate we will deliver record sales and a 12% increase in earnings per share over fiscal 2011."
Moog Inc. is a worldwide designer, manufacturer, and integrator of precision control components and systems. Moog's high-performance systems control military and commercial aircraft, satellites and space vehicles, launch vehicles, missiles, automated industrial machinery, wind energy, marine and medical equipment.

Cybersecurity: A Concentric Approach
Contributed by Vincent Kor
"You can't do that!", she exclaims.
His fingers race across the keyboard, he grins and says, "Already done.".
So goes the memorable opening scene from the 1983 movie "WarGames", where a high school student (played by a young Matthew Broderick) hacks into the school's computer network and changes his Biology grade. This box office hit propelled the hacker stereotype to classic status in pop culture — bored geeky teenagers engaging in acts of cyber mischief.
Those early days of pre-Internet innocence are long gone.
In today's hyper-connected world with over 3 billion people and almost 50 billion devices linked to the Internet, modern day hackers are far less interested in hijinks and more likely to harbour malicious criminal intent. Instead of headline-grabbing hacks, they aim for stealthy cyberattacks which go undetected for months or even years.
Their goal is to penetrate, blend in and move at will inside networks over long periods of time — so as to modify, falsify or steal valuable and sensitive data. The exploding population of Internet-connected individuals, organisations and their devices offer an ever-expanding attack surface for cybercriminals.
Menacing Malware
Coupled with an arsenal of malware openly shared and traded over the dark web, it is no surprise that worldwide losses attributed to cybercrime have been escalating by billions of dollars year-on-year. New strains of malware are also becoming harder to detect and eliminate with legacy cyber defence methods. For example, the Mirai malware is able to evade detection by deleting itself from infected file systems, while the Drye malware's ability to morph and add functionalities enabled it to mount MITM (man-in-the-middle) as well as DDoS (distributed denial-of-service) attacks across the globe.
In this Internet age, the threat of costly and potentially devastating cyberattacks is a serious risk shared by nations, organisations and individuals around the world. All parties share the responsibility of working together in a multi-tier response to this shared risk.
At its heart, an effective cybersecurity strategy can be visualised as made up of 3 reinforcing concentric layers. Starting with an outermost ring of tough cybersecurity laws, a middle circle of up-to-date cyber defence mechanisms, and an inner core comprising a healthy culture of cyber risk awareness.
In Singapore, we have a perimeter of cybersecurity laws which was first erected nearly 3 decades ago. Before the 1990s, like many other countries, Singapore did not have specific laws targeting computer crimes.
This was understandable given the nascent state of ICT adoption and the low incidence of these crimes at that time. Between 1988 and 1992, there were only 4 computer crime cases which were prosecuted for general offences under the Penal Code.
The legal landscape changed in 1993 when the landmark Computer Misuse Act (CMA) was enacted by Parliament.
In a parliamentary speech, the then Home Affairs Minister explained that the CMA was needed to "deal with crimes committed with or involving the use of computers, for which existing legislation [was] inadequate". The CMA introduced specific offences and penalties targeted at computer crimes such as the unauthorised access to and the unauthorised modification of computer programs or data — i.e. hacking into a computer network and infecting it with malware.
The range and scope of CMA provisions were progressively enhanced in 1998, 2003 and in 2013, when it was also renamed the Computer Misuse and Cybersecurity Act (CMCA). Keeping pace with the changing tides of cyber-crime and technology, another amendment Bill was passed in April 2017 to further strengthen the CMCA (e.g. criminalising the acts of dealing in misappropriated personal information such as selling stolen credit card numbers or passwords).
These criminal sanctions in the CMCA reinforce and work in conjunction with another key pillar in Singapore's cybersecurity legal framework — the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) which imposes a number of data protection obligations on organisations holding personal information about individuals.
In particular, the PDPA obliges organisations to put in place reasonable security arrangements to protect personal data from unauthorised access, disclosure or modification. Any breach of this PDPA obligation exposes the organisation to financial penalties up to S$1 million as well as the possibility of being sued for civil damages by affected individuals.
The legal, financial and reputational fallouts stemming from data breaches highlight the importance of having the next layer of effective cyber defence mechanisms.
Cyber Defence
Conventional cyber defences which depend solely on pre-defined network rules or signatures of pre-identified malware are not effective against determined and well-resourced attackers. Standard endpoint protection and sandbox systems are unlikely to intercept unconventional attacks by polymorphic malware which are designed to conceal their characteristics when examined — and to unleash their malicious payloads only upon entry into the target networks.
Confronting this breed of "smart" malware calls for cyber defenders to deploy methodologies involving the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning.
By simultaneously scanning multiple data and network traffic, such AI-driven tools augment SEM (security event management) systems by learning the normal activities of network users and devices, so that any departure from the baseline will trigger an anomaly response. They help to identify unusual traffic patterns such as when local user-accounts log in from hitherto unknown locations, or when particular group users retrieve sensitive data from another group server which they do not ordinarily access.
However the efficacy of such technological defence measures can still be seriously hampered if individual users remain careless or oblivious to the dangers posed by cyberattacks. These human-linked limitations bring up the third and arguably most essential part of an effective cybersecurity strategy: To prevent individuals from becoming easy victims, it is vital to develop and inculcate a healthy culture of cyber risk awareness.
This often starts with a campaign to educate individuals about the nature of cyber threats and promoting the adoption of good cyber hygiene habits.
Basic elements of these habits include having strong passwords with a long mixture of letters, numbers and symbols, changing the default factory passwords on IoT devices, and where available, using second-factor authentication (2FA) login methods.
Organisations can also reap significant benefits from their active participation in these cybersecurity awareness campaigns. Not only would their employees become more aware and resistant to potential attacks (e.g. spear phishing attempts), they can also act as sentinels by raising the alarm during the early stages of a cyberattack.
An example of a cybersecurity awareness campaign is one recently launched by the Government Technology Agency (GovTech). As the lead agency for public sector ICT systems and services, GovTech's campaign involves the use of a friendly mascot, Jaga the cybersecurity hedgehog (Jaga being the Malay word for 'to guard').
Through a creative series of outreach programmes, Jaga provides useful reminders and practical tips to over 100,000 public service personnel on how to be cyber safe. The campaign's positive message "Cybersecurity — Shared Risk, Shared Responsibilities" strongly resonates with the underlying ethos of an effective multi-tier, concentric cybersecurity strategy.
Individuals, organisations and nations share a common responsibility to help each other stay cyber-secure.
And that, we can do, together.

Santa Claus has been labelled as highly offensive for choosing to be a white heterosexual male, with furious protest groups demanding him to be banned immediately.
Several protestors began tearing down statues of Santa in their local shopping centre.
One shopping centre is planning to solve the problem by creating a Voltron-like version of Santa formed with five individuals of different genders, races, religious beliefs, disabilities and sizes.

Ferret Music was an American independent record label turned Warner Music Group subsidiary, founded in 1996. The label is owned by NORA's vocalist, Carl Severson, and based in West Windsor, New Jersey. Ferret recently started an imprint called New Weathermen Records. Warner Music Group's Alternative Distribution Alliance acquired a stake in Ferret Music in August, 2006,
and as a result is currently distributed by Fontana Distribution, Alternative Distribution Alliance and eOne Music.

As of September 12, 2007, Ferret partnered with an uprising extreme metal and hardcore punk label out of the UK, Siege of Amida Records (S.O.A.R.). S.O.A.R will retain A&R responsibilities. On February 18, 2010 Carl Severson and his business partner at Ferret and ChannelZERO, Paul Conroy, announced their departure from the company to start Good Fight Entertainment, a management company with music and sports divisions along with a new record label. Ferret's official website was last updated in 2009, adding to speculation that the label is defunct. According to Scott Mellinger, lead guitarist for Zao, Ferret Records sold to Warner Music while Severson went on to start Good Fight.
