Travel On with Garrett Shea
by Denis Kitchen
Photo Credit: Meredith Snow at Snowfall Photography
Garrett Shea wants to bring poetry to pop. And if a song happens to save a life, that isn't too shabby either (stay tuned to hear THAT story and song at the end of the episode).
As a proud Villa Maria student, Garrett majored in Music Industry. There he connected with Grammy nominated producer Anthony Casuccio who produced Garrett's first album with the band, Breckenwood. If you listen to their two albums you can not only hear loads of growth in his recording and song craft, but also a shift from pop-punk to just… pop. The pull of pop eventually led Garrett away from the band four years ago. He continues to write and record original songs, while having a blast in his cover band, The Red Letter Kings.
Garrett talked about that "switch" that needs to go off in his mind and heart before he is able to release a new song to the public. It took him over a year before he was willing to put his song, Travel On up on Spotify.
Garrett is also a music instructor who heads up the music lessons department at Guitar Center in Cheektowaga. They are putting together a Rock Show program where students get focused training for a week in a rock ensemble that makes immediate use of their skills and taste. You can keep up with Garrett's latest singles, announcements, vlog, and brisk gigging schedule on his web site, GarretSheaMusic.com.
Garrett mentioned a recent article by Buffalo music critic, Jeff Miers about the music scene in Buffalo. Garrett also mentioned his friend, Tim Britt who he thinks does a great job straddling the line between original and cover band vital to a band's success in Buffalo. Garrett also mentioned Matt Bannister whom he collaborates with as an acoustic duo. Garrett gave a shout out to his album art designer, Daniel Morris.
Earlier in the show, Denis used the tool, Inner Authority by Phil Stutz and Barry Michels to help him bring some authenticity and creative energy to his upcoming job interview.
Denis also mentioned that he is starting a therapeutic community in the form of a religion, which you can find out more about in the episode, We are Building a Religion. There is a very special first meeting coming up on Sunday March 31. If you want to take part, please contact Denis at Denis@TheLensPodcast.org.
Denis mentioned Dennis McKenna's book, The Brotherhood of the Screaming Abyss.
Garrett mentioned this fascinating Ted Talk on how lyrics in pop music have gotten measurably more repetitive over the years.
Garrett Shea records a few of his original songs for your listening pleasure right here in The Lens studio (aka my kitchen)

Q: How to clean searchText when user switches segmentController index? I have a searchBar in a tableView. It worked fine, until I added a segmentController. When I change segment index, searchText doesn't erases and it's obviously a bad experience.
I was trying to add a "text" property, that is equal to searchText, and do text = "", when user switches segment index. But it didn't work. I think I am using some wrong logic.
extension MyClass: UISearchBarDelegate {

     func searchBar(_ searchBar: UISearchBar, textDidChange searchText: String) {
        var text = searchText
        if segmentController.selectedSegmentIndex == 0 {
        guard !text.isEmpty else { searchResult = data
            tableView.reloadData()
            return
        }
        searchResult = data.filter({ results -> Bool in
            results.name.contains(text)
        })
        tableView.reloadData()
        } else {
            guard !text.isEmpty else { anotherSearchResult = anotherData
                tableView.reloadData()
                return
            }
            anotherSearchResult = anotherData.filter({ results -> Bool in
                results.name.contains(text)
            })
            tableView.reloadData()
        }
    }
}

A: You need to add a call addTarget on segmentedController to register a function to be called whenever the selected segment changes.
class MyClass: UIViewController {
    ...

    @objc func clearSearchBar() {
        searchBar.text = nil
    }

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        segmentedControler.addTarget(self, action: #selector(clearSearchBar), for: .valueChanged)
    }
}

A: You need observe segmentedControl valueChanged method
Example below
class ViewController: UIViewController {

    @IBOutlet weak private var segmentedControl: UISegmentedControl!

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        // Observe value change
        segmentedControl.addTarget(self, action: #selector(segmentedControlValueChanged), for: .valueChanged)
    }

    @objc private func segmentedControlValueChanged(_ sender: UISegmentedControl) {
        // TODO: Clear searchbar
    }

}

Q: C++ priority_queue doesn't have push? I have these at the top of my file:
#include <queue>

typedef struct cell_s {
    unsigned int x;
    unsigned int y;
    unsigned int ambiguity = 9;
} cell_t;

// so the priority_queue can sort the structs:
bool operator<(const cell_t &a, const cell_t &b) {
    return a.ambiguity < b.ambiguity;
}

In the same file I have declared a priority_queue as a private member of a class, like this:
priority_queue<cell_t> blankCellQueue;

Then I have a member function of the same class that contains these lines:
cell_t cell;
cell.x = x;
cell.y = y;
blankCellQueue.push(cell);

But Xcode is presenting this warning on the last line I shared:
"No matching member function for call to 'push'".

A: priority_queue is part of the namespace, std. You need to use std::priority_queue.

A: C++11's std::priority_queue is a standard container adapter and it does have member function push() - see the linked reference.
It is possible, though, that your implementation of the C++ Standard Library is not compliant. You should upgrade to the latest version.
You can see your code compiling here. It required adding the std:: namespace qualifier before priority_queue, but I do not believe that to be the root cause of the issue here. If it were, your compiler error should be different (or you should receive other errors before).

A: Sorry to have wasted all of your time. I found the issue. The priority_queue is a member of my class. The function I was attempting to edit the priority_queue from was a member function that I had marked as const, because I hadn't anticipated a need to modify any class variables when I originally wrote it without any queue. Invoking push on a member object from a const member function is an obvious no-no. I just wish Xcode had given a slightly useful error messages... something along the lines of "non const function invoked from const function" would be a very helpful message.
Since I hadn't provided the member function declaration, it would have been very difficult for anyone to have pointed that out to me here.
Thanks for the offers of help!


Stanley Yelnats is under a curse. A curse that began with his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather and has since followed generations of Yelnats. Now Stanley has been unjustly sent to a boys' detention center, Camp Green Lake. The boys "build character" by spending all day, everyday digging holes five feet wide and five feet deep. There is no Lake at Camp Green Lake. But there sure are a lot of holes.
It doesn't take long for Stanley to realize there's more than character improvement going on at Camp Green Lake. What could be buried under a dried-up lake? Stanley tries to dig up the truth in this inventive and darkly humorous tale of crime and punishment—and redemption.
Without a doubt, my favorite character would be the wonderful Hector Zeroni. Lots of people underestimated him because he wasn't very talkative. But in truth, he was extremely intelligent and kind.
But really, it was the relationship between Zero and Caveman that showed the reader what good people they both were.
And for Stanley, Camp Green Lake did build character. When Stanley first got there he had a low self-esteem and wasn't very confident. He came out a brave and happy kid with a new best friend.
My favorite part was when the two reached "God's thumb" and the Yelants curse was broken. I like how things 100 years ago affected the current story. Like when Zero and Stanley found the wild onions. Or when Mr. Yelnats named his invention Sploosh. Good writing technique on your part, Louis Sachar!

Visitors' comments
The occasion of a fancy dress skating carnival in the Victoria Rink inspired Notman's first large composite in 1870. This event was staged in honour of Prince Arthur, who, as an officer in training with the Rifle Brigade, was stationed in Montreal. Notman declared his intention of making a record of the event, and invited those who planned to participate in the skating carnival to bring their costumes and skates to the studio and have their portraits taken for a composite photograph. One hundred and fifty people came in answer to the advertisement to don their brightly coloured costumes representing various themes and epochs.
On completion of this composite photograph, measuring 20 x 27 1/2 inches, Notman had his staff produce a much larger coloured version as well, measuring 37 1/2 x 53 1/2 inches. By use of a solar enlarger (an apparatus using sunlight as a light source), the image was projected on to a large canvas that had previously been coated with light-sensitive photographic emulsion. During the necessary very long exposure the image gradually appeared on the emulsified canvas. After fixing, washing, and drying, the canvas was attached to a wooden stretcher, of the type used for oil paintings. The image was then coloured in oil by Notman's two most talented artists of that period, Henry Sandham and Edward Sharpe.
Keys to History
This composite photograph illustrates the skating carnival held at the Victoria Rink in Montreal, March 1, 1870, in honour of Prince Arthur. This version of the composite was actually painted in colour, which helps to convey some of the kaleidoscopic effect of such gatherings.
For reasons lost to history, Miss Prior as "Girl of the Period" does not appear in the composite. A Miss Bethune as the same character does, however, in the very bottom right-hand corner, lighted cigarette in hand. The artist, photographer William Notman, has found his way of expressing disapproval at the antics of the "Girl of the Period." A man dressed in Aboriginal costume appears to be aiming his arrow directly at her.
Notman was evidently well aware of boundaries that should not be transgressed in fancy dress. A newspaper report congratulated him for omitting from the composite "the monstrosities and idiocies of bad taste, which never should have disfigured the Fancy Dress Assembly."
Montreal Gazette, 26 April 1876.
This coloured composite photograph was produced by William Notman, who transferred the image to a canvas. It was then painted with oils by Henry Sandham and Edward Sharpe.
This framed picture was on display in the Notman studio for 65 years. In 1955 it was given to McGill University.
Work on the composite began immediately after the event, and the coloured image was ready by April 25, 1870, a scant two months later.
Prince Arthur, the Duke of Connaught, in the lower left corner, was Queen Victoria's youngest son. He was 20 years of age at the time.

Kids Gallery Opening at the Surrey Museum
October 8, 2015 by Janice
Kids in Surrey BC now have their own gallery at the Surrey Museum, where they can climb, ride, and play in this fully interactive exhibit…
Kids Learn while they Explore and Play
I don't usually think to bring my kids to a museum for an afternoon of play.
But the Surrey Museum, located in Cloverdale, is looking to change that for families in the Lower Mainland of BC.
This week, I took my daughter, Olivia, and Susan's daughters, Julia and Sophia, to test out the new Kids Gallery before the Grand Opening this Saturday.
Our girls had a blast learning as they played their way through the new exhibit which allows kids to explore the world of sustainable energy from their point of view.
Since we were there during an early showing, Joytv happened to be there shooting a segment for an upcoming episode of Fraser Focus.
The girls were thrilled to wear GoPros and have cameras and reporters follow them around the gallery while they explored.
They had so much fun they can't wait to go back in the spring when the Kids Gallery will switch exhibits and feature a new learning theme.
My eight year old niece, Sophia, told me, "I want to go back every time they have a new exhibit."
I asked the girls what they liked best about the gallery and they listed everything from being able to "touch things" to the "light bulbs" to the "tree house" to the "play kitchen" to the "garbage can display" to "making crafts"…
In short – they loved it all.
The Grand Opening
This Saturday, October 10, from 10am to 5pm, the Surrey Museum is hosting the Grand Opening of the new Kids Gallery at the Surrey Museum.
The event is free for all ages and will include extra fun with face painting, a puppet show, storyteller, puppeteer, juggler, and musician Zox of the Forest, visits from The Re-enactors, crafts, and refreshments. (Did I hear someone say cupcakes?)
Grand Opening Schedule
Crafts, Refreshments: 12:30pm to 4pm
Roving Entertainers: 12noon to 4pm
Official Opening: 1pm to 1:30pm
The Re-enactors: 12noon to 1pm, 1:30pm, 2:45pm to 4pm
Puppet Show: 2pm to 2:30pm
If you live in the Greater Vancouver Area or Fraser Region, you and your kids definitely don't want to miss a visit to the Kids Gallery at the Surrey Museum.

This is coming as it embarked on a major reorganisation of North-east operations, tagged: 'Operation Lafia Dole' in Borno State, where it denied the loss of 46 soldiers and equipment to terrorist group, Boko Haram.
Speaking at a meeting with principal officers, General Officers Commanding (GOCs), field commanders and operations officers at the Army Headquarters in Abuja, Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Yusuf Buratai, said the army was prepared to ensure effective security before, during and after the elections.
"We remain apolitical and we are committed to safeguarding the constitution. The unity of the country cannot be compromised.
"On the 2019 elections, we are prepared to ensure effective security before, during and after elections. We have told our officers to be professional and we shall be decisive where necessary", he said.
He maintained that "political thugs, kidnappers and criminal elements identified with arms would be dealt with decisively. We shall adhere to international standards of operations.
Buratai said the army was reviewing operations in different areas of engagement across the country including the northeast operations where the military battled insurgents.
He said the meeting reviewed challenges and directed officers to address them properly while noting that the army high command was satisfied with the general conduct of operations. He said the army was reorganising 'Operation Lafia Dole' in order to reinvigorate it and tackle emerging challenges.

Julia Scott Green
Passage is an experimental photographic project on transience and the ephemeral. This work has emerged organically from collective experiences of rapid change, and the anxiety this generates. These fragile, untethered forms speak of our increasing transition into disembodied, virtual habitats. While the use of seriality and repetition refer to the machine, and a desire to compete with its perfection. These photographs are all produced through long exposures of backlit screens of cellphones and laptops, combined with landscape photographs that Julia has found online. Julia tends to exploring the relationship between photography, time and ephemeral by using intangible and illusory images. Creating cubes that constantly shift backward and forward while viewers looking at them. The floating cubes looks so real, at the same time they could disappear at any moment. Despite this, an ethereal visual language has been adopted to serve an antidotal function - an attempt to offer viewers a gateway to meditative contemplation.
Julia is an emerging Australian photographic artist living and working in Brisbane. Her practice spans documentary-style visual storytelling, photo-media image making and installation. She is currently developing a new body of work exploring the relationship between photography, light and the ephemeral. Her photography has been exhibited and featured in multiple art exhibitions in Australia. She studied photography at the Queensland College of Art, and has taught visual communication courses at The University of Queensland.

The First Center
KASPERSKY GLOBAL TRANSPARENCY INITIATIVE
Today, transparency is a vital element in the digital world we all rely on.
Kaspersky Global Transparency Initiative includes a number of actionable and concrete measures to engage with the wider cybersecurity community and stakeholders in validating and verifying the trustworthiness of its products, internal processes and business operations.
Learn more about our Transparency VISIT TRANSPARENCY CENTER
DATA, INDEPENDENT REVIEWS AND MORE...
Within the framework of our Global Transparency Initiative we have relocated our data storage and processing for a number of regions to Switzerland. We have also opened our first Transparency Center in the country.
Information received from users of Kaspersky products in Europe, the United States, Canada and several countries in the Asia-Pacific region is processed and stored on Swiss servers.
A facility for trusted partners and government stakeholders to review the company's code, software updates and threat detection rules. The company opened Transparency Centers in Zurich (Switzerland), Madrid (Spain), Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), and São Paulo (Brazil).
Third-party assessment of internal processes to verify the integrity of Kaspersky solutions and processes:
• SOC 2 audit by one of the Big Four accounting firms;
• ISO 27001 certification for data security systems.
Why Switzerland?
- Long and famous history of neutrality, similar to our policy for the detection of malware: we detect and remediate any malware attack
- Robust approach to data protection legislation
TRANSPARENCY CENTERS
Transparency Centers serve as facilities for trusted partners to access reviews of the company's code, software updates and threat detection rules, along with other activities. Through them, we provide governments and partners with information on our products and their security, including essential and important technical documentation, for external evaluation in a secure environment. They also serve as a briefing center where trusted stakeholders can learn more about the company's portfolio, engineering and data processing practices.
Kaspersky Transparency Centers are operating in Zurich, Madrid, Kuala Lumpur and São Paulo. In early 2021, our North American Transparency Center will open in New Brunswick, Canada in partnership with the CyberNB Association.
At all of Kaspersky's Transparency Centers, the company provides the opportunity to compile the company's software from its source code and compare it with the publicly available one.
No other cybersecurity provider has done anything as far reaching as this. In opening its Transparency Centers, Kaspersky makes a significant step towards becoming completely transparent about its protection technologies, infrastructure and data processing practices.
To request access to the Transparency Center, please contact TransparencyCenter@kaspersky.com or visit the website.
The security and protection of our customers is our top priority; therefore, we follow the strictest access-policy practices and reserve the right to turn down a request if it could potentially cause a security breach.
The Transparency Center welcomes:
⚬ State agencies and regulators responsible for national cybersecurity and the protection of information systems (decreed as such by the respective local legislation);
⚬ Prospective and existing enterprise partners and customers of Kaspersky anywhere in the world.
Academia, media and information security community experts are being considered as potential invitees to the Transparency Center in the future
Under no circumstances whatsoever will Kaspersky provide intelligence or law enforcement agencies that have a mandate and/or capability for cyber-offensive operations with access to the Transparency Center. The security information and infrastructure in the Transparency Center are provided by Kaspersky strictly for consultation purposes only. Any actions to modify the company's source code, software updates, or threat detection rules are forbidden and will be prevented by the TC Steering team; any abuse will be reported to the local law enforcement agency.
INDEPENDENT AUDIT
Kaspersky continuously undertakes third-party assessments to verify the integrity of its solutions and processes. The company successfully completed the Service Organization Control for Service Organizations (SOC 2) Type 1 audit, conducted by one of the Big Four accounting firms.
The final report confirms that the development and release of Kaspersky's threat detection rules databases (AV databases) are protected from unauthorized changes by strong security controls. To learn more and to request the Kaspersky SOC 2 Type 1 Report, please visit the website.
Kaspersky has also attained ISO27001 certification for its data services.
The next level of Data Protection!
While Kaspersky's current data protection practices are implemented in accordance with the highest industry standards and provide an extremely high level of security for any information processed by the company's products and services, the company continuously improves its procedures for the protection of its customers' data.
Malicious and suspicious files voluntarily shared by users of Kaspersky products in Europe, the United States, Canada and several countries in the Asia-Pacific region* are processed and stored in two data centers in Zurich. These provide world-class facilities in compliance with industry standards to ensure the highest levels of security.
In addition, TÜV AUSTRIA has certified that Kaspersky applies a management system in line with the ISO/IEC 27001:2013 standard in the delivery of malicious and suspicious files using Kaspersky Security Network (KSN) infrastructure, as well as safe storage and access to these files in the company's Distributed File System (KLDFS). This include the company's data centers in Zurich, Switzerland; Frankfurt, Germany; Toronto, Canada; and Moscow, Russia. Learn more here.
* Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Bangladesh, Brunei, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, South Korea, Laos, Malaysia, Nepal, Pakistan, Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam.
Kaspersky publicly shares its approach in responding to requests from global government and law enforcement agencies for two categories: user data and technical expertise. We also disclose information about the number of such requests by country.

Latest news on the Global Transparency Initiative
To keep you up-to-date with news on the relocation to Switzerland and the other activities that form part of our Global Transparency Initiative, we'll be posting regular updates and progress reports in this section.
Update November 2020
⚬ The relocation of data processing and data storage, announced in November 2018, has been fully completed. In addition to Europe, the United States and Canada, Kaspersky has also relocated data storage and processing for a number of Asia-Pacific countries. The list of Asia-Pacific countries which have become the part of the GTI relocation plans includes Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Bangladesh, Brunei, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, South Korea, Laos, Malaysia, Nepal, Pakistan, Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam.
The customer threat-related data shared by users who are based in these locations is now processed in two data centers in Zurich, Switzerland, and includes suspicious or previously unknown malicious files that the company's products send to the Kaspersky Security Network (KSN) for automated malware analysis.
⚬ Kaspersky announces the opening of its North American Transparency Center in partnership with the CyberNB Association in New Brunswick, Canada.
The facility will start operating in early 2021 and become the company's fifth location where Kaspersky partners will be provided with the opportunity to review its source code and to learn more about engineering and data-processing practices, as well as its product portfolio. The CyberNB Association is a non-profit organization, based in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada, that takes an ecosystem approach to improving cybersecurity outcomes through engagement and collaboration with private sector, government, academia, knowledge and skills-building, and talent acquisition and workforce development stakeholders.
Earlier in 2020, Transparency Centers in São Paulo and Kuala Lumpur became fully operational. Kaspersky has also relaunched its first Transparency Center in Zurich that has been relocated to the Interxion data center. Moving forward, the company will provide unique access to its customers and trusted partners to experience data security controls and to directly access the company's data management practices for external review and examination.
Given the challenging travel and visitor restrictions, customers and partners now also have an opportunity to review the source code remotely. To request remote access to Kaspersky Transparency Centers, please follow this link.
⚬ The Cyber Capacity Building Program, announced in May 2020, has been successfully launched alongside Vietnam's Authority of Information Security (AI), which includes the country's national CERT and National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC). The Program has been extended to now include an additional section on code fuzzing, conducted together with Kaspersky's ICS CERT Team. In 2021, the Program will be available to business partners and other companies to enhance their readiness as well as to gauge the resilience of their systems and networks against supply chain risks. To request access, please follow this.
⚬ Product scope for Kaspersky's Bug Bounty Program has been extended to include Kaspersky VPN Secure Connection. Researchers can now submit vulnerability reports relating to Kaspersky VPN Secure Connection, including third-party software modules that are a part of the VPN solution. Overall, since March 2018, 76 bugs have been resolved, and 37 reports rewarded with total bounties equating to $57,750.
Update May 2020
⚬ Kaspersky developed a Cyber Capacity Building Program which includes dedicated training on product security evaluation. Available in online and offline formats, it is designed to help companies, government organizations and academia develop practical tools and knowledge for security assessments. The training will provide an introduction to product security evaluation and threat modeling, as well as source code review and vulnerability management. Taking part in the program will be free of charge, with a pilot project to be launched first for government organizations and academia in Q3, 2020. Later this year the training will be available for business organizations. Interested parties can learn more and request information here.
⚬ Kaspersky has enabled remote access to Transparency Center services,by providing a 'blue-piste' assessment option – to become acquainted with both the company's engineering practices and unparalleled data protection standards. Kaspersky's security experts are ready to answer any questions regarding the company's data processing practices and the functioning of its solutions, as well as provide a live demonstration of a source-code review. To request a remote blue-piste assessment option, please visit the website.
⚬ As one of the pioneers in the industry, Kaspersky published its ethical principles for Responsible Vulnerability Disclosure (RVD), for greater transparency and efficiency in vulnerability handling and mitigating harm and risks to users. These principles are based on the company's vast cybersecurity experience and have been aligned with guidelines provided by FIRST.
⚬ Kaspersky has been continuously working on its Bug Bounty Program. Since March 2018, the company has been notified of 66 bugs. In total, 26 of those reported were rewarded with combined bounties totaling $49,250.
⚬ Earlier this year the Paris Call officially launched its new website. Kaspersky has been among the early supporters of its nine principles for keeping cyberspace secure, open and cooperative. Kaspersky's Global Transparency Initiative is listed as a particular example of the sixth principle implementation, by promoting higher transparency and accountability in cybersecurity
⚬ Kaspersky's Global Transparency Initiative has also been featured as an example of best practice for greater transparency and trust in a number of international documents, such as the UN Institute for Disarmament Research (UNIDIR) report on supply-chain security, and the Industrial Internet Consortium's (IIC) best practices for trustworthy software development.
⚬ Kaspersky relocates data from its U.S. and Canadian customers to Switzerland.. This follows the relocation of data processing for the company's European users. The data is shared voluntarily with the Kaspersky Security Network (KSN) – an advanced, cloud-based system that automatically processes cyberthreat-related data, and includes suspicious or previously unknown malicious files that the company's products send to KSN for automated malware analysis. Kaspersky plans to finalize the relocation by the end of 2020.
⚬ Kaspersky to open a Transparency Center in São Paulo, Brazil, that will serve as a dedicated security facility for trusted partners in Latin America, to review the company's source code, as well as learn more about engineering and data-processing practices and the company's product portfolio. Earlier this year, the company opened one more European Transparency Center in Madrid and announced the opening of its APAC Transparency Center in Malaysia. At all of Kaspersky's Transparency Centers, the company provides the opportunity to compile the company's software from its source code and compare it with the publicly available one. This move assures an unprecedented level of confidence in Kaspersky's products, allowing them to run a compilation process with the assistance of the company's experts.
Update July 2019
⚬ Kaspersky has successfully completed the Service Organization Control for Service Organizations (SOC 2) Type 1 audit. The final report, issued by one of the Big Four accounting firms, confirms that the development and release of Kaspersky's threat detection rules databases (AV databases), created and distributed for company's products operating on Windows and Unix Servers, are protected from unauthorized changes by strong security controls. Kaspersky can disclose the principal information about its abovementioned commitments and requirements in the SOC 2 Type 1 report upon request.
⚬ Kaspersky has been working continuously on the development of its Bug Bounty Program. Recently the company paid a $23,000 bounty – the biggest reward in the history of the program to date – to researchers from the Imaginary team for the discovery of a security issue in Kaspersky that could potentially allow third-parties to remotely execute arbitrary code on a user's PC with system privileges. The bug was promptly fixed. Kaspersky thanks the Imaginary team for the report and their assistance in improving the company's products. Since March 2018, we resolved 66 bugs reported by security researchers through the program, with bounty rewards totaling almost $45,000.
⚬ Safe Harbor for vulnerability researchers: The company now supports the Disclose.io framework which provides Safe Harbor for vulnerability researchers concerned about negative legal consequences of their discoveries. Kaspersky understands that external experts provide valuable assistance by finding and reporting vulnerabilities in its products and is ready to provide additional guarantees for fair treatment of vulnerability reports.
⚬ Transparency Center in Madrid has officially been open to Kaspersky's customers and partners, as well as government stakeholders, since June. As is the case at the Zurich facility, the company offers source-code reviews and tailored security briefings on the company's data processing practices and functioning of its products.
⚬ Threat intelligence support for law enforcement agencies: Kaspersky, the first among cybersecurity vendors, announced an advanced free service for Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs). A unique and tailored approach developed to maximize their efforts in tackling borderless cybercrime, it consists of three components: Threat Intelligence Reporting, Threat Data Feeds and an Automated Security Awareness Platform (Kaspersky ASAP).
⚬ Kaspersky opens Transparency Center in Madrid. In addition to a similar center in Zurich, opened in 2018, it will serve as a trusted facility for the company's partners and government stakeholders. They will be able to come and check the company's product source code and learn about Kaspersky's engineering and data processing practices, as well as the company's portfolio. The center will be open to visitors from June. Previously announced plans for Transparency Centers to be open in Asia and North America by 2020 are still ongoing.
⚬ Transparency Center review system developed. This offers multiple review options according to the area of interest – from a general non-technical overview of the company's engineering practices and data protection standards, through to the deepest and most comprehensive review of the critical parts of the company's source code. More information about the available options can be found on the Transparency Centers website.
⚬ Kaspersky publishes results of a voluntary third-party legal assessment, aimed at providing independent evaluation of the company's obligations to Russian legislation. The analysis was conducted by prominent legal expert, Dr. Kaj Hober – Professor of International Investment and Trade Law at Uppsala University in Sweden and expert on the Russian legal system – and covers three Russian laws related to data processing and storage. These were widely reported as the ones Kaspersky was obliged to comply with, being a Russian-based company. Results of the analysis are freely available online.
⚬ Bug Bounty program was improved by extending the scope of products for review. Security researchers can now investigate Kaspersky Password Manager and Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux, among others. Within a year of the extension being announced, we resolved more than 50 bugs reported by security researchers through the program, with bounty rewards totaling more than $17,000.
First Transparency Center opens and data processing for European users in Zurich begins, plus news of an independent engineering audit and a thriving bug bounty program
On November 13, 2018, malicious and suspicious files shared voluntarily with Kaspersky by users of the company's products in Europe started to be processed in two data centers in Zurich. The data, which includes suspicious or previously unknown malicious files and corresponding meta-data that the company's products send to Kaspersky Security Network (KSN) for automated malware analysis, is being processed in data centers that provide world-class facilities in compliance with industry standards to ensure the highest levels of security.
The move reflects Kaspersky's determination to assure the integrity and trustworthiness of its products. It is accompanied by the opening of the company's first Transparency Center, also in Zurich. Through the Transparency Center, Kaspersky will provide governments and partners with information on its products and their security, including essential and important technical documentation, for external evaluation in a secure environment.
Other activities in progress include the engagement of a Big Four professional services firm to audit the company's engineering practices around the creation and distribution of threat detection rule databases, with the aim of independently confirming their accordance with the highest industry security practices.
Alongside this, Kaspersky continues to support an active bug bounty program. Within one year, it has resolved more than 50 bugs reported by security researchers, of which several were especially valuable.
Update August 2018
⚬ Kaspersky has signed contracts with two leading data center providers in Zurich, Interxion and NTS, for world-class facilities where, from late 2018, we will start to securely store and process data shared by users of Kaspersky products in Europe. Other countries, including the U.S., Canada, Australia, Japan, South Korea and Singapore, will follow. Full relocation for European countries is expected to be finalized by the fourth quarter of 2019. For more information, see here: www.kaspersky.com/blog/transparency-status-updates
⚬ Kaspersky's first Transparency Center, also located in Zurich, will achieve initial operating capability by the end of 2018. The center will eventually provide responsible stakeholders with full visibility of the source code of our products and software updates.
⚬ The other pillars of our new plans, such as the relocation of software code assembly, including products, product updates and threat detection rule databases (AV databases), and the appointment of an independent, third-party to manage and review everything, will take place during the second phase of the project, after 2018.
Supply chain issues and 'balkanization' are major challenges for the security of today's ultra-connected global landscape. To overcome them, the world needs trust and transparency in cybersecurity. We believe that companies will need to increase transparency in their products and business operations in order to earn and maintain trust. Our new measures demonstrate our approach for achieving that: through tangible, practical steps implemented within the overall framework of our Global Transparency Initiative
What is Kaspersky's Global Transparency Initiative?
Kaspersky's Global Transparency Initiative (GTI) is a reaffirmation of the company's commitment to earning and maintaining the trust of its most important stakeholders: its customers. It includes a number of actionable and concrete measures to involve external independent cyber security experts and others in validating and verifying the trustworthiness of the company's products, its internal processes and business operations, and to introduce additional accountability mechanisms by which the company can further demonstrate that it addresses any security issues promptly and thoroughly.
In the context of GTI, the storage and processing of user data, shared voluntarily with the Kaspersky Security Network, has been relocated from Russia to Switzerland.
We have also opened Transparency Centers across the globe which serve as facilities for trusted partners and government stakeholders to review the company's code, software updates, and threat detection rules; as well as a briefing center to learn more about Kaspersky's engineering and data processing practices. Our Transparency Centers are open in Zurich, Switzerland, Madrid, Spain, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and São Paulo, Brazil. In 2021, a new Transparency Center will open in New Brunswick, Canada.
Why did you decide to relocate infrastructure?
The relocation reflects our willingness to address customer concerns by, firstly, moving some of our data storage and processing to a neutral region while maintaining our high global standards of data security and integrity.
This move further demonstrates our enduring commitment to assuring the integrity and trustworthiness of Kaspersky solutions in the service of our customers, and to addressing any concerns outlined by regulators.
Why is data from some countries not moved to Switzerland, but will be processed in Russia? Based on what principle did you divide the countries for the relocation of data processing?
A decision about the relocation of data processing for each country is based on market specifics, customer demands and local regulation. The company has moved data processing and storage for our customers in Europe, the United States, Canada, and several countries in the Asia-Pacific region.
How will the relocation affect the data of other users?
There is no difference between Switzerland and Russia in terms of data processing. In both regions we adhere to our fundamental principle of respecting and protecting people's privacy, and we will use a uniform approach to processing users' data, with strict policies applied.
What will be available for independent review and assessment in the Transparency Center?
Trusted partners will have access to the company's code, software updates and threat detection rules, among other things.
The Transparency Center's functions include:
- Access to secure software development documentation
- Access to the source code of any publically released product
- Access to threat detection rule databases
- Access to the source code of cloud services responsible for receiving and storing the data of Kaspersky customers
- Access to software tools used for the creation of a product (the build scripts), threat detection rule databases and cloud services
We provide three options to government stakeholders and enterprise customers for independent assessment of Kaspersky products. Given the challenging travel and visitor restrictions, customers and partners now also have an opportunity to review the source code remotely. Learn more here.
Who is be able to review?
Transparency Centers in Zurich and Madrid are open for inspections by trusted partners and government stakeholders. Please refer to our Access policy for more information.
What is a SOC 2 Type 1 report?
A SOC 2 Type 1 report is designed to meet the needs of existing or potential customers who need assurance about the design and implementation of controls at a service organization. It covers controls that are relevant to the security, availability, or processing integrity of the system used by the service organization to process customers' information, or the confidentiality or privacy of that information.
What are further steps to be taken in the framework of Global Transparency Initiative?
We will continue to work with the community to prioritize transparency and accountability, and to enhance the security of modern software products, to further build consumer trust. Our core belief is that through collaborative multi-stakeholder efforts we are able to enhance confidence and trust in technology. More information about our transparency principles is available here.
How do you work with national law enforcement agencies?
Kaspersky works with national, regional or international law enforcement organizations, such as INTERPOL, in the best interests of international cybersecurity, providing technical consultations or expert analysis of malicious programs to support cybercrime investigations and in accordance with applicable laws. We share our expertise, knowledge, technical findings and technical analysis of malicious programs during cybercrime investigations.
How do you then handle requests from LEAs in regards to the user data?
All incoming requests go through a mandatory legal verification – this is our by-default rule to protect our users, ensure their security and privacy, and ensure Kaspersky's compliance with applicable laws and procedures. Requests should be:
- legally justified;
- issued in accordance with applicable laws and legal procedures;
- valid with the principles above;
- technically feasible; and
- their implementation should not affect the security or privacy of Kaspersky's users, or the integrity of Kaspersky's products and services.
If requests fail to meet the five criteria, then we proceed further to reject or challenge the request or ask for additional clarifications. Where allowed by law, we will give prior notice to users whose data is requested. All requests are logged, and information about them is made public here


Our metabolism conditioned by what we eat, when we eat, as well as how often we eat and what we do both before and after eating with our bodies (and with the nutrients and energy in the foods we eat). And our metabolic rate is also determined by our body composition, the health of our thyroid gland, our age, and our emotional state (as well as if we are ill).
Put simply, if we wake up and begin moving in the morning (by saying doing 20 minutes or more of exercise) we increase our metabolic rate and how we are using energy. If we then set our metabolic clock with what we eat, we determine our ability to both lose weight, and also to keep insulin, blood sugar and cholesterol within healthy ranges. Here are some guidelines for how this works.
This is what our body is opting to use to fulfil our energy requirements and it is set by our first meal of the day. Essentially, if we include significant amounts of dietary fat in our breakfast, our body is conditioned to use fat. However, if we eat carbohydrates, such as a packaged cereal or bread, we program our body for carbohydrate metabolism which results in blood sugar imbalances, arterial damage (from excess blood glucose) and high cholesterol (to repair arterial damage).
Simple or refined carbohydrates at breakfast cause high amounts of glucose to be released to the blood. Meanwhile, elevated blood glucose triggers the release of insulin to encourage glucose uptake (from blood) and glucose storage (as fat). Carbohydrate conditioning leads to metabolic programming that is dysfunctional – the body learns it needs to release high amounts of insulin after each meal. The result is increased insulin resistance and fat storage – both of which create an inflammatory spiral toward Auto-immune disorders, Diabetes and Heart Disease.
No breakfast results in the body being starved of energy which results in the break down of fat for energy use. When the fast is broken (ie the first meal is at lunch) depending on the effect of the meal on blood sugar, insulin may be released in high amounts. The result is hypoglycaemic conditioning – whereby the body is conditioned to produce excess insulin. The danger here is that the body losses sensitivity to insulin (ie insulin resistance) as well as weight gain / inability to lose weight.
A similar principle applies to people who Yo-Yo weight loss. Dramatic weight loss through calorie controlled diets results in energy starvation and break down of fat. After the diet, if the effect of foods eaten on blood sugar is not monitored, excess blood sugar levels from those foods will result in insulin acting to store that glucose – as body fat. The result is conditioning the body to maintain body fat at pre-dietary levels through replacing body fat after the diet is over. Another way of looking at calorie restriction diets is that these diets program the body to restock body fat lost during the diet to ensure it has sufficient energy stocks for future periods of starvation (ie calorie restriction).
Insulin spikes that result from high carbohydrate diets or infrequent meals cause insulin resistance and weight gain. This can be avoided by eating small, frequent meals that result in stabilised blood sugar levels as well as normalising cellular sensitivity to insulin and allowing for sustained weight loss. And key to this is eating breakfast – to ensure proper metabolic programming.
Protein is needed at each meal for crucial metabolic functions such as immune health. And eggs for breakfast are excellent – as they an excellent source of the mineral Choline. Choline is needed to mobilize fatty tissues (especially those in the liver) as well as being crucial for brain and nerve function (ie in forming the neurotransmitter acetylcholine). Eggs also contain a high amino acid complement / good protein content, and a protein content that has high bioavailability / is readily digestible and absorbable. Meanwhile daily consumption of 1 egg has been shown to have little effect on blood cholesterol levels – despite the high saturated fat and cholesterol causing content of eggs.

Why President Obama and Hollywood Stars Play Dangerous with Bear Grylls
What's spurring so many A-list celebrities to appear on a survival TV show? The chance to experience a little fear and risk, which, as Grylls keeps telling us, only makes you stronger.
In his new show, Bear Grylls takes celebrities on two-day adventures that involve trying out the survival tactics he's known for. (Anton Corbijn)

In August, about three weeks before Bear Grylls took President Obama hiking in Alaska, he placed his 12-year-old son, Jesse, on a cluster of rocks off the coast of North Wales and left him there as the tide was rising. Grylls owns a tiny island in the area that serves as his family's summer retreat, and he has helped stage rescue exercises for the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) a number of times in recent years. Whenever possible he tries to involve his three sons—Jesse's brothers are Marmaduke, 9, and Huckleberry, 6—in his adventures because, as he later tells me, "The boys love it!" Plus, he gets tired of doing this kind of stuff on his own. "It's always great fun," he says. "I can pour ketchup on their heads and pretend it's blood. They get to wear the oxygen mask and be put on a backboard and carried down a rock face."
As he pulled his boat away from his eldest son, Grylls tweeted a photo to his 1.2 million followers, with the message: "Jesse and the @rnli on a training exercise to rescue him off the rocks!" Almost immediately, critics slammed Grylls for what they saw as a reckless stunt. Soon the RNLI was backpedaling, announcing its support of Grylls but saying the organization had not been aware of the details of the drill. "I certainly wouldn't put my young son on those rocks," one lifeboat station manager told British newspapers.
Several days later, Grylls issued his retort: an op-ed in The Times of London encouraging his countrymen to live more boldly. "When we try to strip our kids' world of risk we do them a gross disservice," he wrote. "We teach them nothing about handling life. I believe it is fundamentally unfair to put children in a holding pen until they are 18."
(Anton Corbijn)
It was a perfectly on-brand response from Grylls, who, nine years after exploding into television stardom as the charming, carrion-eating, pee-drinking host of the Discovery Channel survival show Man vs. Wild, has become the global voice for embracing danger and hardship in the name of self-improvement. When Discovery canceled his show three years ago, Grylls could easily have ended up in the cable-TV adventure dumpster. Instead, he's been reborn as a network superstar. In 2015, he appeared in five different series, including two prime-time shows for NBC in the United States, The Island and Running Wild with Bear Grylls, which were the top-rated programs in their time slots across all key demographics (and that was before Obama came on Running Wild). Both programs also air on Discovery. He has two new hit shows in the UK, Bear Grylls: Mission Survive and Britain's Biggest Adventure, and in October, he launched a series for China's Dragon TV called Survivor Games that was mentioned more than a billion times on the Chinese social-media platform Weibo in the months leading up to the first episode.
In addition to sharing massive fan bases, all the shows conform to the same basic structure: Grylls puts other people through frightening and uncomfortable scenarios to test their mettle and empower them to overcome life's obstacles. The expected action—jumping out of helicopters, racing around mountains, eating disgusting things—is a way to get them to open up about personal challenges. For every tense scene of someone dangling over a ledge, there's a heartfelt moment of reflection.
The formula has proven especially compelling on Running Wild, which has Grylls short-roping celebrities on two-day buddy adventures. What Grylls gets these stars to do is stunning. Kate Winslet joins him for a motorized paraglider flight around a mountain range in Wales. In the jungles of Panama, New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees leaps onto the back of a crocodile that Grylls has lassoed with a nylon cord. Actress Michelle Rodriguez stews a mouse in her own urine in the Nevada desert. But even more unexpected is how consistently these guarded public figures have what seem to be candid emotional exchanges. After rappelling down a cliff, Kate Hudson starts to say something about trust but is quickly overcome and waves the camera away as she buries her face in her hands. While grilling a squirrel over a campfire, Ed Helms talks about having open-heart surgery when he was 14 and his excitement at being a dad someday soon.
"It's a brilliant format," says veteran producer Thom Beers, creator of the Discovery Channel hit Deadliest Catch and many other reality series. "He gets them in a survival mode, where they're worried about what they're going to do, not what they're going to say. And he's so amazingly charismatic, they feel comfortable in his hands. Survivorman never could have done this—you look at that guy and you might think you're his last meal." What Beers finds most impressive is the fact that so many celebrities sign up for Running Wild in the first place. "He offers them something they can't get anywhere else: the chance to show the world they're a badass."
Grylls sees it a bit differently. "They come on the show because they know it's a safe place to be honest," he says. Their personalities don't come out when they're hamming it up with Jimmy Fallon. "When you're on a chat-show couch, it's all performance. And even if you're brilliant and funny, you know it's not who you really are when the lights are off. All of us crave authenticity."
That Grylls has become the gatekeeper of sincerity shows just how far he's come since the early scandal that almost sank Man vs. Wild, when he was called out for once sleeping in a lodge instead of the bush. What makes his evolution all the more interesting is that it's been precipitated by focusing the camera on the experiences of others. "It took huge pressure off me when I realized that my shows aren't about me flexing my muscles, but about what being in the wild brings out in other people," he says.
This is particularly true in the case of President Obama, whose Alaskan adventure was devoid of dangerous stunts, per Secret Service mandate. In fact, when the White House first reached out to NBC in July, all it had in mind was a short viral video. But Grylls and other producers decided to stretch his time with the president into an entire episode, since Obama had said before how much of a fan he is. When the day arrived, the two men met on a riverbank for a planned three-hour out-and-back hike to a glacier.
"I was nervous waiting for him there," Grylls says. "I wanted to push him a little bit, get under his skin, but respectfully. It was pressure in a way that I'd never felt before. But as soon as he got there, he came over to me and said, 'I'm super excited, I'm in your hands, let's go.' And I thought, Great, let's have some fun."
Within a couple of days, NBC released a sneak-peek clip of Grylls and Obama cooking and eating a salmon that had been partially devoured by a grizzly. But what excited Grylls most were the conversations. He asked Obama the kinds of questions nobody does: What are you most afraid of? What do your kids think of you? What are the best and worst things about being president? "There were no stock answers," Grylls says. "It was all very human."
Shortly after leaving Alaska, Grylls was in a remote part of China, filming Survivor Games for a month in torrential rain. Next he flew to Shanghai for two more days of filming, then rolled right into hosting a weekend survival race outside London. Backstage at the event, he was collared by Tim Davie, the CEO of BBC Worldwide. "He grabs me and goes, 'Hey, two things,' " Grylls recalls. " 'One, I don't know how the hell you do it. Nobody has TV shows on four networks. And two, the game now is can you do it without burning out?' And I thought, He's so right.
"I'm not doing eight seasons of shows next year," Grylls adds, "but at the same time, we're in the zone. I'm still really loving it."

Petra, Back to the Future at the Nabatean Metropolis
So iconic is the image of Petra's Treasury facade that one approaches it excited to have fulfilled an ambition yet with trepidation that it might underwhelm. Petra though deserves the description 'breath-taking' as few other sights do. As one turns a slight curve in the siq, the narrow cleft in the mountain leading to Petra, one glimpses its Classical broken pediment and columns; an involuntary intake of breath followed by a low 'wow' testifies to its impact. This is very much as its creators intended, placing the view just so to impress the new visitor, of which Petra had many, then as now.
Surrounded on all sides by high vertical walls of warm coloured rock, the sandy floor in front of the Treasury offers a natural forum for crowds to mingle. Millennia ago these crowds would have been the Nabatean residents of the city of Petra and traders from all points of the compass; today it is global tourists and local Bedouin offering their donkeys, camels and local knowledge for a price.
The grandeur and fine detailing of the Treasury with its Roman motifs, broken and blurred remains of reliefs and pockmarks from Bedouin bullets (looking to trigger a release of hidden treasure) holds one's attention until curiosity to see the city itself beckons. A narrow defile to the right of the Treasury leads to the city, a canyon of burial chambers carved into the sandstone and a finely crafted amphitheatre capable of seating seven thousand spectators. Further on the gorge opens to a wider valley that once housed many buildings and the bulk of the city's population, reckoned to have been 20,000 at its peak. Further on again, up more than eight hundred steps carved into a steep crevice in the rocks, one comes to a high plateau and another elegant carved facade, similar if simpler than the Treasury, known as the monastery.
From the perimeter of small heights around the monastery's plateau, there are fine views of the steep, serrated and forbidding hills that form the eastern mountain range of the Jordan Valley. Like the city below, in its heyday this plateau would have been paved and rimmed with columns, overlooked by an impressive classical acropolis on the height directly across from the monastery facade. What a vision this lofty architectural beauty must have been under the glorious amber of the setting sun.
The quarrying and carving necessary to create Petra's tombs and temples was an astonishing achievement, barely possible to conceive, even if sandstone is regarded as a relatively soft stone. The physical effort was combined with mathematical precision and a high degree of architectural design and planning. Nabatean motifs are merged with Classical ones, as befits a metropolitan city with all its international influences. The famous Treasury building though seems to be a step up in its forceful articulation of Roman design, to the exclusion of Nabatean influence, standing as if in testament to the power of Rome. Indeed Petra's wealth attracted inevitably the attentions of the Romans who brought it under its sway in the first century BCE.
Like all cities, Petra had an economic rationale. The Nabateans were originally pastoralists from the Arabian peninsula who developed sophisticated systems to maximize the use and storage of water, including sculpting the land to created water retaining sumps, building dams and creating earthen conduits to direct water run-off and flash floods into cisterns for storage. This allowed for patches of sustainable agricultural production capable of providing food and and water supplies for travelers and caravans along the trails criss-crossing the arid landscape: Combining these opened trade routes throughout the region.
The Nabatean economy was fueled by this trade and Petra emerged as a hub, linking north (Damascus), south (Aqaba), the Asian east and European west via Petra itself; another Nabatean hub at Avdat in the Negev desert of Israel offered a stepping stone to Gaza port bristling with ships from all over the Mediterranean.
Petra is one of the few historic places that probably benefits from the hubbub of tourists and the insistent Bedouins offering rides on their camels and donkeys and snacks, freshly squeezed orange juice and coffee in pavilions. The activity helps one visualise the city as it once was, a crossroads for the intrepid and the commercially minded. But it does take an imaginative effort to summon up a vision of the buildings that must have crowded the gorge at the city's heart. They were shattered by a series of devastating earthquakes in the fourth century during Petra's Byzantine era, so destructive in fact that they led to the abandonment of the city. By then, the orginal Nabatean culture had long been diminished under Greco-Roman influences. And Petra was also by then probably more of a religious centre since much trade had been diverted north to Palmyra in modern day Syria.
Lost to time, Petra remained a location known only to the Bedouin who had begun to arrive in the region in the 14th century. Their secret was prised from them by Johann Ludwig Burkhardt, a determined, intellectual and audacious Swiss explorer who entered the city in 1812 disguised as an Arab scholar.
Until recently, Petra's man-made caves and hollows were home to Bedouins but its inhabitants were encouraged by the Jordanian Government to move to nearby accommodation providing not just modern amenities like water, electricity and wifi but proximity to their employment servicing the tourists coming to Petra.
One of our traveling companions was from New Zealand and was therefore familiar with the story of Marguerite van Geldermalsen. Originally from New Zealand, van Geldermalsen had travelled the world including Petra in the early 1970s only to fall in love with a Bedouin whom she married. She lives now in the new village nearby. We met her son, one of three children born and raised there, who was manning the family stall, set beneath the impressive Royal Tombs, selling jewelry, objets d'art and of course his mother's compelling autobiography, Married to a Bedouin (Virago, 2009).
Part of the fascination of Petra is the glimpse that it provides into the life of the region some two thousands years ago. It owed its existence to the flow of trade that came naturally to a region that sits at the juncture of Europe, Africa and Asia. The tectonic instability of the crunching continents that meet here at the apex of the Rift Valley ultimately doomed Petra.
Today it is the instability of conflict and consequent security concerns that dooms the trade and cultural mix that should come naturally to the people in this wonderful region, as indeed it had done in times past though one suspects not as definitively as today. Crossing the Jordan-Israel border either side of the Allenby Bridge now is a taxing and bureaucratic affair; no commerce currently enters Gaza. True, armies criss-crossed the region since times immemorial and archaeological layers testify to the waxing and waning of influences; Phoenician, Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Crusader, Muslim, Mamluk, Ottoman, French and British.
Petra though reminds us of what the region once was and can be – dynamic, free flowing, a nexus for trade and far-away cultures to mix creatively and influence each other. Only peace makers can make that the future too.

Vyomesh senses Krishna around. Krishna thinks he will sense him only if he wants to and tells Radha that Vyomesh is losing his control. Radha asks if he will be harmed. Krishna says nothing will happen to him. Vyomesh provokes Krishna to come out and accept his challenge and show his machoism. He senses Krishna all around and says why he is he senses Krishna all over. Krishna says he is all around and comes in front. Vyomesh says Radha was right, he is here itself. Krishna asks to try catching him. Vyomesh runs behind him and fails. Krishna laughs on him. Vyomesh boasts that he does not know him, he is monster Vyomasur with immense powers, if he had known, he would not have dared to provoke him. Krishna says even he would not have provoked him if he had know who is he.
Yashoda reaches home silently. Nand asks why is she coming silently hiding. She says she did not want to disturb sleeping family members. Nand confronts that she had gone to his enemy Vrishbhan's house who alleged him wrongly, he saw her crossing Barsana's border with 2 girls' help. Yashoda says those 2 girls are their sons Krishna and Balram. Nand is amused to hear that.
Vyomesh/Vyomasur continues attacking Krishna. Krishna escapes repeatedly showing his false image, then comes in front and requests not to harm him, he realized his powers. Ayan and Jatila reach there. Krishna pleads them to save him. Jatila tells Ayan that they should stops Vyomasur before everyone sees his real face. Vyomesh attacks Krishna, Ayan rescues Krishna on time and asks if he is fine. Krishna acts and thanks him and Jatila for rescuing him. Jatila walks in front of Vyomasur and request him to go away before anyone notices him. He says king Kans wants Krishna dead or alive, he will kill Krishna and will present him to Kans. He attacks Krishna again. People gather seeing monster. Vrishbhan asks what is happening. Radha says Vyomesh is Vyomasur. Vyomesh takes his monster form.
Yashoda informs Nand that Krishna told a big disaster is awaiting Barsana, so he asked whole Vrindavan to help Barsana. Guards inform Nand that a monster has attacked Barsana. Nand says he will protect his friend Vrishbhan and Barsana and orders gather whole Vrindavan vasis and with weapons head towards Barsana. Vyomesh continues creating havoc. Balram tells Krishna it is time to end Vyomasur right here. Krishna says they should send villagers to safe place first. Vyomasur captures Radha. Vrishbhan goes to her rescue. Balram rushes to help him, but Krishna stops him and says they should not interfere when 2 friends are reuniting. Vyomasur attacks Vrishbhan and he falls aside. Nand comes to his rescue. Vrishbhan gets emotional. Vyomasur lifts Radha and flies away. Krishna thinks Vyomasur dared to kidnap love devi, he will be killed today for sure.
Krishna gives moral gyaan that nature has given human a special power than others, memory power which helps human a lot, it even gives bad experience to human, which leads human to the path of revenge; one should use memory for good memories for peaceful and better life.
Precap: Vyomasur takes Radha to universe and says Krishna cannot rech h ere.
Krishna reaches there on Seshnag/Balram's head and says arrogance destroys biggest warriors, Vyomasur's arrogance is ending him today.
