…The "need to hold still" is a skill that both scientists and non-scientists need to cultivate, a vital way to pay attention to the world. Through observation, it is possible to develop a richness of texture and nuance, substance and form, in our understanding of the animate and inanimate residents of this world – and our place in it. It is how we become informed.
I can hardly believe it, but this is my 100th post since I wrote the first blog back on March 22, a mere ten months ago. After officially being retired for three weeks, I posted that first report. I think I was hoping for a vehicle to continue my work as an educator and naturalist. Throughout my career, I was fortunate to have worked with a cadre of dedicated and inquisitive people that were constantly sharing new discoveries and challenging me with questions about nature. I now realize that the blog is a way for me to challenge myself and to continue learning about the natural world that I love.
I recently took a look back at the topics I have covered and realized it really has been quite an eventful ten months of retirement. I traveled to some of my favorite places and did some serious woods-watching here at home. So, in honor of the milestone of making it through one hundred of these monologues, I now revisit a few of my favorite memories of the past few months.
It all started with a trip out to my shed last March and the discovery of a different sort of shed – the cast skin of a huge spider. It turned out to be from one of our largest spiders, a Dark Fishing Spider, Dolomedes tenebrosus. The intricate details of the shed are incredible.
Then, just a few weeks ago, I had an encounter with a live, albeit sluggish, Dolomedes spider. It was in a tree trunk I was cutting for firewood. After just missing the spiders' hiding place with my chain saw, it slowly crawled out and allowed me some quality observation time.
Speaking of encounters, one of the most amazing things I experienced these past few months (actually…ever) was a close encounter with one of our state's most elusive animals, a Bobcat. After seeing one cross a dirt road at Pocosin Lakes National Wildlife Refuge, a friend and I parked the car in the only available shade and got out to wait. The next 20 minutes were some of the most exciting I have had with any wild creature. The majestic cat ended up strolling toward us and then just sitting and looking around for a couple of minutes, before vanishing into the brush.
Pocosin Lakes also provided a glimpse at something I have always wanted to see – a Curve-lined Owlet caterpillar. This unusual larva feeds on Greenbriar and is considered a dead leaf mimic.
I consider it simply bizarre and beautiful.
Another magical experience from Pocosin Lakes was last spring when I happened to stop at a marsh to scan for birds, and heard the unmistakable sound of an American Bittern. Their call is described by The Cornell Lab of Ornithology as a deep pumping oong-ka-choonk. Listen for yourself at http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/American_Bittern/sounds.
A trip to New Jersey and Delaware last spring provided an experience with one of the great wildlife spectacles on the East Coast – thousands of Horseshoe Crabs coming into the shallows to mate. Coinciding with this event is the arrival of tens of thousands of shorebirds that stop in the Delaware Bay region to take advantage of abundant food resources (including the Horseshoe Crab eggs) as they migrate north for the nesting season.
Other adventures afield have taken me to Yellowstone (always a favorite), Maine, and the Dolly Sods Wilderness in the highlands of West Virgina. In each location, I am reminded how lucky we are to have these stunning landscapes preserved for the good of the ecological communities, and the human spirits, they sustain.
A traveler from the far north visited my home state a few weeks ago, providing a rare opportunity to sit in awe in the presence of an almost mystical creature, a Snowy Owl. My time spent alone with this beautiful bird was certainly one of the highlights of the past year.
I also was reminded how much there is to learn, and be amazed by, in our own backyards. From behavior-altering parasitic wasps, to the delicate beauty of native plants, to the fascinating behaviors of some of the local wildlife, there is always something to experience and appreciate. We need only to get outside, and have the patience to observe, and we will be rewarded with glimpses of beauty that can still help connect us to the natural world.
One who reviews pleasant experiences and puts them on record increases the value of them to himself; he gathers up his own feelings and reflections, and is thereby better able to understand and to measure the fullness of what he has enjoyed.

After losing the last tour of Valencia (0:2), Barcelona lost its leadership in La Liga, which it held since the 11th tour. Now the Catalans are three points behind Real Madrid. Blaugrana really does have problems in recent matches. Barcelona earned nine points in the last six games of the La Liga and won only two games. However, all problems with the Catalans happen outside of Camp Nou. At home, Barca have won 16 of the 17 previous championship matches, not being able to beat only Real Madrid (0:0).
The beginning of 2020 was definitely not a good start for Granotas. Levante lost all three games in La Liga in the new year and also left the Spanish Cup. Paco Lopez lost in league Atletico Madrid (1-2), Alaves (0-1) and Osasuna (0-2), and lost to Sevilla in the Copa del Rey (1-3).
On the away field, Levante is a totally uncompromising club, having won three times and lost eight times to its rivals in the current league.
FC Barcelona vs Levante Prediction Head to Head
Date: Teams: Score:
15/09/2019 Levante – Barcelona 3:1
0424/2019 Barcelona – Levante 1:0
17/01/2019 Barcelona – Levante 3:0
FC Barcelona vs Levante Prediction Prediction
Apparently, Barcelona in this meeting will be recouped at Levante for both the defeat in the first round and the fiasco in the last tour of Valencia. Granotas, which are already in a bad shape, will simply get torn apart. Given the Catalans' passion for big home wins, we predict a 3-0 victory for the Catalans.

Cone: Ginebra has 'better shot than anybody else' to dethrone San Miguel
The PBA's winningest coach, though, admits it's going to be a 'huge mountain to climb' to beat the reigning four-time Philippine Cup champions

MANILA, Philippines – All signs point to San Miguel extending its title reign in the PBA Philippine Cup to 5 years, but that doesn't mean it's not unbeatable.
That's the approach Barangay Ginebra head coach Tim Cone is taking as the Gin Kings seek to dethrone four-time defending all-Filipino champions Beermen this season.
And the league's winningest coach has full confidence in his wards to pull that feat off.
"We have a shot at dethroning them. You never know," Cone told reporters during PBA's first Media Day at the Solaire The Tent on Thursday, January 10.
"We got to go back out there and both got to make it into the finals and see what would happen."
"We have a better shot than anybody else to knock them out. Still, that's going to be a huge mountain to climb for us to beat San Miguel."
The two teams' recent playoff clashes back Cone's claims.
Ginebra denied San Miguel a rare Grand Slam in 2017 after the Gin Kings eliminated the Beermen in the quarterfinals of the season-ending Governors' Cup.
The Gin Kings then dethroned the Beermen in the 2018 Commissioner's Cup in 6 games, thus giving Cone his 21st PBA title.
But as far as the all-Filipino conference is concerned, San Miguel has time and again proven to be head and shoulders above the competition. Last year, it finished off Magnolia in 5 games en route to notching the precious hardware.
And Cone concedes that the Beermen remains the league benchmark, more so now that they are a heavily improved squad with Christian Standhardinger and Terrence Romeo on board.
"No doubt about it. San Miguel is the team to beat. Last all-Filipino, they dominated and they didn't have Standhardinger or Terrence Romeo. Now they have both," the 61-year-old mentor said.
"It's kind of hard to believe that they can be any weaker than they were last year. They're going to be even stronger. They certainly are the team to beat. There's no doubt."
Remaining injury-free is the only thing Cone hopes would last.
"We feel we can compete for every championship and compete with anybody. It's always been a question about our health and so far so good."
Ginebra will kick off the league's 44th season as it tangles with TNT on Sunday, January 13, at the Philippine Arena in Bocaue, Bulacan. – Rappler.com

As Method Studio recently celebrated our fifteen-year anniversary, we look back with great appreciation and humility. Our three founding partners; Becky Hawkins, Joe Smith, and Kelly Morgan, struck out on their own in 2007 with a goal to create a firm that was balanced, diverse, and off-the-charts creative with a new set of rules: collaborate/imagine/ listen with all of your senses while keeping things balanced and pragmatic. From that, we grew, welcomed more design innovators, and built genuine, valued relationships internally and with our clients. "Our goal has always been to build a practice centered on design to inspire and enhance our community while creating a work/life balance in our firm culture. That focus has resulted in humbling and rapid growth" said Becky Hawkins. Joe Smith adds, "We wanted to do things differently, with authentic design and honest dialogue with our clients. Our staff is integral to our success and their voice makes a difference."
We have grown our firm with a 98% repeat client base, awarded "Best of State" in commercial architecture in 2018, 2019, 2021, and 2021; been awarded firm of the year 2021 by American General Contractor's, by IIDA and WIA (Women In Architecture) in 2017, and now employ over 96 professionals with offices in Salt Lake City, St. George and Rexburg, Idaho. Method Studio has become one of the largest firms in Utah while maintaining a small-firm culture. Breaking through the traditional architecture firms dominating the Utah market was no small matter. In a field where the firm portfolio is often the basis of winning new commissions, carving out the toeholds that enable a practice to grow is challenging. Particularly, with the economic downturn that occurred only a few short years after the firm began. Gradually, job by job, Method began to establish a reputation for excellence. When we obtained new clients we worked hard to exceed their expectations and build strong working relationships. We extended the same respect and courtesy to our collaborative consulting partners, which has enhanced our reputation and increased our ability to compete. Method Studio is widely considered a trustworthy organization that listens carefully and cares deeply about our clients with a sincere belief that good design matters.
Cultivating creativity has led to diversity and opportunity within a framework of work-life balance, where all staff voices matter.
The result is reciprocal; staff is engaged and they deliver because they are valued. At Method, we are architects, designers, accountants, principals, interior designers, marketers, project leaders, administrative support, and drafters. We are a family. It takes all of us to make great designs and our patchwork quilt of "creators" is stitched together into a strong fabric in a variety of colors, textures, sizes, and shapes.
Our project teams comprise senior-level designers working hand in hand with young designers, openly sharing best practices, seizing teaching and learning opportunities, and cultivating an organic, collaborative environment that provides wonderful opportunities for staff to bloom and test their ideas. Our senior partners are accessible and approachable—with workstations just like everyone else's in our open office layout. The office is organized around project teams, allowing seasoned staff to oversee and collaborate with junior-level employees, supporting dialogue that grows skills across the organization and fosters teamwork and camaraderie.
We've positioned ourselves as a DESIGN firm and are at home in this niche. To accomplish this, we've worked to develop processes and techniques in how we deliver our services to achieve the highest level of architectural design in an effort to best serve our clients and our communities. As part of our process, we are known for conducting in-depth research for each and every project we are commissioned to design.

Authorities Aren't Able to Corroborate Robbie Turner's Uber Accident Story
Written by Alexander Kacala on April 19, 2018
Robbie Turner, a Seattle-based drag queen who rose to prominence on the 8th season of RuPaul's Drag Race, took to social media over the weekend to share a harrowing account of her brush with death in an Uber. The result of a drunk driver crashing into her driver's vehicle, Robbie Turner's story was that her Uber driver died as a result.
Many outlets, including us, shared Turner's account of what happened. But authorities in Seattle and Uber reportedly have no evidence of the alleged incident, so many people are beginning to wonder if it ever happened at all.
Seattle Gay Scene sought a response from official sources and spoke with a Seattle Police Department spokesman who said, "I am not aware of anything like that occurring, nor are any of my colleagues aware of this accident."
RELATED | 'Drag Race' Alum Robbie Turner Was Involved in a Fatal Car Crash But Made It Out Alive
The publication also reached out to Uber to see if the company had a record of its driver being killed this weekend. A representative from Uber responded saying they have no information consistent with what Turner reported about the alleged death of a driver.
Uber spokesperson Nathan Hambley told The Stranger by email, "Thanks for reaching out, and really sorry to hear that news. We of course know Robbie and have reached out. We are also looking into the accident, but have no information at this time to believe this occurred on our app. If I find out more today, I'll be back in touch."
When The Stranger followed up with Uber again, Hambley responded, "We've reached out to a number of folks on this, too — including Robbie — and still haven't heard anything. I'm asking that we reach out to her again. Will let you know what I find out."
We've also reached out to Turner's publicist for comment on this matter, and will update this post if they get back to us. Turner hasn't responded to any outlet's request for comment.
Something seems fishy here, and it's not the kind of fish we'd like to see from a drag queen.

Q: Insert Variable in Template I have some specifics to what I am doing and could not find it elsewhere here. I have a ModelForm that I present to the user and one of the fields is an input field because I set it as Charfield in my model. However I want it to be something like this on my form:
MRN ID:
and the value supplied to it is generated in my code so I know I need to pass that variable to my template.
I am not sure what the best way to do this. I use crispy forms for my forms.
My relevant form code is:
class PatientModelForm(ModelForm):

helper = FormHelper()
helper.form_tag = False
helper.layout = Layout(
    Fieldset("Patient Information:",
        Div(Div('first_name', css_class='span3'),
            Div('middle_name', css_class='span3'),
            Div('last_name', css_class='span3'),
            Div("suffix", css_class='span3'),
            css_class='row-fluid'),
        Div(Div('date_of_birth', css_class='span3'),
            Div("gender", css_class='span3'),
            Div("marital_status", css_class='span3'),
            css_class='row-fluid'),
        Div(Div("ethnicity", css_class='span3'),
            Div("age", css_class='span3'),
            css_class='row-fluid')),
    Fieldset("Contact Information:",
        Div(Div("address1", css_class='span3'),
            Div("address2", css_class='span3'),
            css_class='row-fluid'),
        Div(Div("city", css_class='span3'),
            Div("state", css_class='span3'),
            Div("zipcode", css_class='span3'),
            css_class='row-fluid'),
        Div(Div("addresstype", css_class='span3'),
            Div("county", css_class='span3'),
            Div("country", css_class='span3'),
            css_class='row-fluid'),
        Div(Div("phone", css_class='span3'),
            Div("mobile_phone", css_class='span3'),
            Div("emailaddress", css_class='span3'),
            css_class='row-fluid')),
        "comment",
        "is_newborn",
    Fieldset("Patient ID:",
         Div(Div("medical_record_number", css_class='span3'),
            Div("government_id_number", css_class='span3'),
            css_class='row-fluid')),

)

And my template is:
{% block content %}
<form method="post" class="uniForm">
    {% csrf_token %}
    {% crispy form %}

        <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Save</button>
        Cancel

</form>
{% endblock %}

What would be the best way for me to show the field medical_record_number as MRN: and my generated value but not as an input, just a plain text field?
Thanks.

A: With crispy_forms, you can specify a template to use to render a field.
forms.py
...
Field("medical_record_number", template='your_app/uni_form/display_mrn_field.html'),
...

display_mrn_field.html

MRN: {{ field.value }}

That's it, it will now render that html instead of a normal input.

NASCAR rejects driver's sponsorship deal with 'Let's Go Brandon' cryptocurrency
"Let's Go Brandon" is a NASCAR no-go.
NASCAR has rejected a sponsorship deal between driver Brandon Brown and crypto LGBCoin, according to several newsletter Reports.
Brown's racing team, Brandonbilt Motorsports, prematurely announced last week that LGBCoin — a nod to the anti-Biden chant — will be the sponsor for the 2022 NASCAR Xfinity Series II.
NASCAR has not commented publicly, but a NASCAR official told Axios on Wednesday that "No form of this derogatory and vulgar euphemism will be permitted in any paint or sponsorship scheme."
LGBCoin, a nearly worthless cryptocurrency, is named after the chant "Let's Go Brandon," a euphemism for "F— Joe Biden." The phrase originated after Brown won the first race of his career in Talladega, Ala. , last October. While giving a live TV interview, as the crowd chanted an anti-Biden slogan, NBC Sports reporter Kelly Stavast pointed to the background noise, saying they should chant "Let's go Brandon."
After the phrase quickly became a political meme, Brown publicly worried that the chant was portraying him in a negative light and tried to distance himself from it. I have no interest in leading a political battle. I race cars," he wrote in an opinion piece for Newsweek. But he ultimately said he would embrace his time in the spotlight.
A Brandonbilt Motorsports spokesperson told Fox Business that a NASCAR official had previously approved the deal over the phone.
"We are disappointed that NASCAR leadership has chosen to rescind approval of this sponsorship and feel they should have confidence in owning their decision to step back and not light a team or driver," Brandonbilt Motorsports spokesman Max Marcucci, a spokesman for Brandonbilt Motorsports, told Fox Business on Wednesday. "Unfortunately, the NASCAR leadership's handling of this situation now threatens to strain our relationships and put us in an incredibly awkward position, once again."
In November, NASCAR President Steve Phelps made it clear that he was uncomfortable with the phrase. "We don't want to associate ourselves with politics, either with the left or the right," Phelps said. "Obviously we have been and always have, as a sport, tremendous respect for the office of president, no matter who is sitting."
Phelps made inclusivity a major point for NASCAR, as he tried to expand the base of the sport's traditional white Southern fans. In recent years, NASCAR has banned the Confederate flag and pledged to do a better job of tackling social injustice.

Championship Manager™ 2006: The Beautiful Game Is Back
Published on Nov. 9, 2005
Eidos Interactive, one of the world's leading publishers and developers of entertainment software, today announces that Championship Manager 2006 will be released in the UK in Spring 2006 on PC.
Developed by London-based Beautiful Game Studios (BGS), the all-new 2006 version offers a wide range of innovative new features and is the most realistic version to date, offering the player a true taste of football management.
Championship Manager 2006 boasts a brand new GameplanTM 3D match engine, where players can watch their match unfold in the same way they watch the match on TV - but with the ability to adjust tactics, player positions or formations - or simply use the Highlight Filter to select the moments they want to watch.
Interact with your squad as you speak with your players for the first time: make promises to individual players to improve their mood or form. But as in real life, if promises are broken, trust is lost and there are consequences - with the new player status screen, monitor the mood and form of every player.
Championship Manager 2006 now offers the ability to scout in depth with its new 'Simulate world' option. For the first time, users will be able to view authentic player's performance stats outside the nation managed, all with no noticeable speed reduction! Scouting will never be the same again.
Implemented in Championship Manager 2006 are accurate fitness regimes devised by Mervyn Day, first team coach at Charlton Athletic. Study your opposition's current form through parallel match processing. Watch their previous matches through the GameplanTM 3D engine, before you face them whilst the game progresses.
Or choose a wealthy Club Benefactor for an instant cash injection, but with more money comes more demands and a greater need for immediate success.
Championship Manager 2006 allows you to manage your club to glory, dealing with everything from tactics and training to transfers - everything you would expect a real-life football manager to do without owning a sheepskin coat.

Example, when the recalculate_quota cron runs it works out what the user quota should be and then updates all the users in usr table that need fixing. This table has a trigger on it so all users needing updating are added to queue to be indexed.
On a big site that can mean thousands of users being indexed. But we don't record quota in elasticsearch so we don't need to index this change.

A month or so ago, I had a vivid dream of a friend from my course, in which he had asked his girlfriend to marry him. I told him about it when I saw him the next day, but he didn't smile or reply.
A week later he told me had had asked her to marry him over the weekend, and the day I'd shared my dream he had the engagement ring in his bag.
Yesterday I got a bone-deep powerful urge to talk to a friend of mine I had lost touch with a few years ago but not knowing how to go about it as I no longer had his contact details and I couldn't remember his last name. This morning, I woke up to find a message from him.
And I love moments like this and I love how we are each of us like radio transmitters beaming and receiving waves, meeting and connecting in space.

I'm one of the unfortunate ones who beams and beams but never receives. Maybe my antenna is broken.

by Diane Stanley
Diane Stanley has become well known for creative (and often very funny) retellings of fairy tales as well as for illustrated biographies of well-known historical figures, including several from the Renaissance period. In her new book, THE SILVER BOWL, she effectively weaves together many fairy tale motifs with a credible (if fictionalized) Renaissance setting, not to mention her own unique take on fantasy literature. The result is a novel that feels reassuringly familiar but also engagingly fresh and new.
When her cruel, hard-drinking father needs to cut down on the number of mouths to feed, Molly is the obvious choice; she's always been a little wild, perhaps even too much like her mother, whose madness has kept her locked away for years. In fact, just hours before Molly is to be sent to work as a scullery maid at the royal palace, she learns an important secret from her mother: the gift of clairvoyance runs in their family and is the reason her mother has been called crazy for so long.
Molly's mother gives her important tips on how to handle her newfound skills, which all-too-often provide sudden, horrific visions of suffering and death, visions that become reality shortly thereafter. Molly has to ask herself: If this "gift" is likely to make her seem insane, if it gives her nightmarish visions without any way to change fate, is the ability to foresee the future a blessing or a curse?
Nowhere is this conflict more evident than in the mysteriously powerful silver bowl Molly is asked to polish. It provides her with her most troubling visions to date, glimpses not only of the future but also of the past, a history that seems to bind Molly's own family to the destiny of the seemingly cursed royal family of Westria. Befriended by Tobias, the fiercely loyal "donkey boy," Molly must figure out how to use her powers to save what remains of the royal family --- and to defeat their curse forever.
There certainly have been any number of fantasy novels that have considered the dual nature of the gift of clairvoyance; others have also featured royalty in disguise, hidden family origins, betrayal cloaked in false loyalties, etc. Diane Stanley, however, embeds these motifs so skillfully into the expansive world she's created that they come off as both completely natural and surprisingly fresh. Her setting, although fictionalized, is clearly based on Renaissance Europe, a world she knows well, and the social structures, dialects and humor seem thoroughly believable, even in the context of a fantasy novel. What's more, Stanley pushes the boundaries of conventional historical fantasy in the climax, which seems to reference Terry Pratchett's Tiffany Aching books rather than traditional fairy tales.
Although THE SILVER BOWL does contain scenes of fairly graphic violence, its themes of loyalty, friendship and persistence --- not to mention its down-to-earth love story --- will appeal not only to teens but also to mature middle-grade fantasy fans.

Daniel Heins eller Heinsius, född den 9 juni 1580 i Gent, död den 25 februari 1655 i Haag, var en nederländsk filolog och skald. Han var far till Nicolaas Heinsius den äldre.

Heinsius blev 1605 professor i statskunskap och grekiska språket samt 1613 även professor i historia vid Leidens universitet, där han mycket söktes av svenska studenter. Gustav II Adolf utnämnde honom (1618) till rikshistoriograf och förlänade honom 1619 hovrådsvärdighet. I striden mellan gomarister och arminianer var Heinsius en av de förras mest nitiska kämpar. Han gjorde sig känd genom sina upplagor av romerska och grekiska författare (Horatius, Terentius, Vergilius, Livius, Ovidius, Aristoteles, Clemens Alexandrinus med flera), vann stort skalderykte genom sina Elegiae et sylvae (1603) och skrev även grekiska dikter. Hans Nederduytsche poëmata (1616) utövade stort inflytande på Opitz och hans skola. Heinsius samlade poetiska arbeten utkom 1640 under titeln Poëmata auctiora. Heinsius var gift med Jan Rutgersius syster Ermgard.

A new species of clown treefrog that is yellow and brown in coloration and sort of looks like taffy was discovered in the state of Amazonas in Brazil's Floresta Nacional de Pau-Rosa, according to National Geographic.
The tiny clown treefrog is named Dendropsophus mapinguari, after a rainforest beast that exists only in folklore of the Amazon. It is apparently a tall and furry beast with huge claws and an additional mouth in its belly. The frog though is nothing of the sort. It is bright yellow, almost candy like with orange feet and and a few brown spots on its skin. It is just 22mm in length.
The frog was first discovered in 2009 when the herpetologist Pedro Peloso, with funding from the Brazilian government, was searching out an area of the Amazon that was set aside for conservation.
Peloso found the frog in a low hanging tree over a stream and had to bend the limbs of the tree to capture it. He thought it was new to science at the time, and set out on a quest to examine species in museums around the world. He also spoke with herpetologists about his find.
He was able to finally sequence the DNA of the amphibian and confirmed in a study published April 30 in the journal South American Journal of Herpetology that the little frog was indeed new to science.


On September 11, 2001, hijackers crashed two commercial airliners into the World Trade Center buildings in downtown Manhattan, New York City. While hijackers also crashed a plane into the Pentagon and another into a field in rural Pennsylvania, the attacks on the World Trade Center produced the most casualties and elicited the most significant public response. Published in the spring of 2006, Deborah Eisenberg's "Twilight of the Superheroes" was one of the first fictionalizations of the attacks, along with Ian McEwan's Saturday (2005), Jonathan Safran Foer's Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close (2005), Frederic Beigbeder's Windows on the World (2006), and Dear Zoe (2006) by Philip Beard. While each of these authors interprets September 11 differently, all have found it difficult to personalize the tragedy and make sense of it. Eisenberg has tackled this issue by conveying the effects of the event on Lucien as an individual as well on Nathaniel and his friends as a group. Several of these authors have attempted to catalogue the effect of the September 11 attack on the general character of New York City too. Lucien's reminisces about the changing nature of New York, for example, is Eisenberg's attempt to explain how the attacks transformed the entire city. Eisenberg weaves Nathaniel's Armenian friend, Delphine, into her narrative, suggesting that non-Americans felt the impact of September 11 too. The body of September 11 literature is still very young, and "Twilight of the Superheroes" is thus a unique contribution that will shape the way future writers and historians will interpret the event.

Computer hacking conceptGETTY
I've always been a loner, avoiding crowds as much as possible, but last Friday I found myself in the company of 500 million people. The breach of the personal accounts of Marriott and Starwood customers forced us to join the 34% of U.S. consumers who experienced a compromise of their personal information over the last year. Viewed another way, there were 2,216 data breaches and more than 53,000 cybersecurity incidents reported in 65 countries in the 12 months ending in March 2018.
How many data breaches we will see in 2019 and how big are they going to be?
No one has a crystal ball this accurate and it's difficult to make predictions, especially about the future. Still, I made a brilliant, contrarian, and very accurate prediction last year, stating unequivocally that "there will be more spectacular data breaches" in 2018.
Just like last year, this year's 60 predictions reveal the state-of-mind of key participants in the cybersecurity industry (on the defense team, of course) and cover all that's hot today. Topics include the use and misuse of data; artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning as a double-edge sword helping both attackers and defenders; whether we are going to finally "get over privacy" or see our data finally being treated as a private and protected asset; how the cloud changes everything and how connected and moving devices add numerous security risks; the emerging global cyber war conducted by terrorists, criminals, and countries; and the changing skills and landscape of cybersecurity.
It's the data, stupid
"While data has created an explosion of opportunities for the enterprise, the ability to collaborate on sensitive data and take full advance of artificial intelligence opportunities to generate insights is currently inhibited by privacy risks, compliance and regulation controls. The security challenge of 'data in use' will be overcome by applying the most universal truth of all-time—mathematics—to facilitate data collaboration without the need for trust from either side. For example, 'zero-knowledge proof' allows proof of a claim without revealing any other information beyond what is claimed. Software that is beyond trust and based on math will propel this trend forward"—Nadav Zafrir, CEO,Team8
"IT security in 2019 is no longer going to simply be about protecting sensitive data and keeping hackers out of our systems. In this day and age of big data and artificial intelligence—where cooperation on data can lead to enormous business opportunities and scientific and medical breakthroughs—security is also going have to focus on enabling organizations to leverage, collaborate on and monetize their data without being exposed to privacy breaches, giving up their intellectual property or having their data misused. Cybersecurity alone is not going to be enough to secure our most sensitive data or our privacy.Data must be protected and enforced by technology itself, not just by cyber or regulation. The very technology compromising our privacy must itself be leveraged to bring real privacy to this data-driven age"—Rina Shainski, Co-founder and Chairwoman, Duality Technologies
AI is a dual-use technology
"AI-driven chatbots will go rogue. In 2019, cyber criminals and black hat hackers will create malicious chatbots that try to socially engineer victims into clicking links, downloading files or sharing private information. A hijacked chatbot could misdirect victims to nefarious links rather than legitimate ones. Attackers could also leverage web application flaws in legitimate websites to insert a malicious chatbot into a site that doesn't have one. In short, next year attackers will start to experiment with malicious chatbots to socially engineer victims. They will start with basic text-based bots, but in the future, they could use human speech bots to socially engineer victims over the phone or other voice connections"—Corey Nachreiner, CTO, WatchGuard Technologies
"While next-gen technology like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are transforming many enterprises for the better, they've also given rise to a new breed of 'smart' attacks. The ability to scale and carry out attacks is extremely enticing to cybercriminals, including use of intelligent malware. The rise in next-gen threats means that security professionals must be extra vigilant with detection and training against these threats, while also adopting new methods of automated prevention methods"—John Samuel, Senior Vice President and Global Chief Information Officer, CGS
"Cyber defenders have been researching and working on their machine learning/AI/deep Learning for a long time. We expect over the next 5 years that these technologies will also empower adversaries to create more powerful and elusive attacks through a new generation of tools, tactics and procedures. While AI/ML-savvy offensive cybercriminals are in their infancy, this is like any other business. They will invest in whatever provides them the greatest return. Unlike defenders, those on the offense are willing to collaborate and share innovation freely, which could increase rapid development and innovation"—David Capuano, CMO and VP Sales, BluVector
"Automation is the name of the game in security and machine learning is here to help. AI is all about automating expert systems, and security is all about experts answering some form of the question: 'Does this matter? Does this alert matter? Is this vulnerability risky?' Machine learning will help filter out the noise, so that the limited number of practitioners out there can use their time most efficiently"—Michael Roytman, chief data scientist, Kenna Security
"Recent updates to exploit kits, specifically natural language and artificial intelligence capabilities, has made the automation of highly convincing and unique social engineering emails a very simple process. Meaning, an attacker can upload a file with one million email addresses and can automate the creation of effective and unique phishing messages to send out to victims"—Brian Hussey, VP of Cyber Threat Detection and Response, Trustwave SpiderLabs
"When it comes to using AI in cybersecurity, be wary. AI offers companies huge potential, but it is a largely untapped area. If you do plan to implement it, do a proof of concept to make sure that it integrates into your company's environment, ensuring that you're getting the maximum value"—Joan Pepin, CISO and VP of Operations, Auth0
"The focus on artificial intelligence in cybersecurity has led to an arms war, with vendors ratcheting up claims about the number of models or features to sensational levels. In 2019, the focus will shift from quantity to quality of features. Both vendors and their users will recognize that fewer, more precise features, can improve threat detection rates, while ensuring virtually zero false positives"—Adrien Gendre, North American CEO, Vade Secure
"As AI-enabled apps continue to proliferate, companies will face a rise in accidental vulnerabilities. Expect to hear about more breaches that aren't a result of a hack, but can be mapped back to developers leaving large data pools (which power AI-enabled applications) accidentally unprotected. Companies need to be vigilant when working with large data pools, especially customer data, that feed AI in services like Amazon, Facebook and Google, and always double check their configurations"—Alex Smith, Director of Security Products, Intermedia
"With fraud attack rates expected to continue to increase in 2019, costing e-commerce retailers billions of dollars, AI is poised to play a huge role in stopping bad actors in real-time before they strike. Artificial intelligence and machine learning, enhanced by human research, have the ability to protect online merchants from abuse at both the account level and the point of transaction. AI-driven solutions are becoming a necessity because they instantly prevent fraud, enabling retailers to scale and keep up with the e-commerce giants without sacrificing the consumer experience. Finally, fraud prevention models that use AI can be personalized based on a nuanced understanding of each merchant's specific pain points and historical data"—Michael Reitblat, Co-Founder and CEO, Forter
The emerging global cyber war
"Terrorist-related groups will attack population centers with crimeware-as-a-service. While terrorist-related groups have been tormenting organizations and individuals for years, we anticipate more potentially destructive attacks in 2019. Instead of breaking systems with ransomware, adversaries will leverage new tools to conduct harmful assaults on targeted subjects and organizations. From attacks on data integrity that essentially kill computers to the point of mandatory hardware replacements, to leveraging new technology for physical assaults such as the recent drone attack in Venezuela, attack surfaces are growing and enemies will take advantage. To combat this, organizations must take inventory of their attack landscape to identify and mitigate potential threats before they are exploited. Malcolm Harkins, Chief Security and Trust Officer, Cylance
"We expect nation-state threats to increase significantly in 2019, particularly targeting critical infrastructure. Critical infrastructure systems are extremely vulnerable to both cybersecurity and physical security risks. State-sponsored threats and high-level hackers are constantly looking to gain access to the critical infrastructure of nations worldwide, with the intent of hitting some of our most valuable systems (national security, public health, emergency communications, and more)"—Mike McKee, CEO, ObserveIT
"The nature of cyberwarfare is changing. Russia has led the way in the use of targeted cyber actions as part of larger objectives, and now other nation states are looking to follow the same playbook. While a direct cyberwar is not on the horizon, there will continue to be smaller proxy cyber wars as part of regional conflicts where larger nation state actors provide material support to these smaller conflicts. These regional conflicts will be testing grounds for new tactics, techniques and procedures as larger nation states determine how cyber warfare integrates into their larger military objectives. Nation states will also start experimenting more this year in adding 'disinformation' campaigns as part of their cyber warfare efforts. These kinds of attacks will make true attribution more difficult"—Sean McNee, Senior Data Scientist, DomainTools
"As the cyber threat landscape intensifies, adversaries will continue to discover new avenues for attacks. Although satellites aren't the most common attack surface, it is important for industry professionals to acknowledge the capabilities that threat actors hold over them. Security concerns continue to grow within the satellite industry, with execs even forming a government-backed clearinghouse to share information on cyber threats to space assets. From military satellites to GPS technology and even communication satellites, adversaries are able to conduct targeted attacks to gain access to these crucial systems—some of which are highly classified networks. As these threat actors refine their skills, we anticipate major attacks on satellite systems as a new form of nation-state warfare"—John Cassidy, CEO and Co-Founder, King & Union
The year of protected privacy, finally?
"Managing privacy will be the new normal, like securing data or paying taxes. Privacy will continue on a similar path as the evolution of cybersecurity. The number of breaches and privacy-related incidents will continue to rise, up and to the right. This rise will be comprised of peaks and valleys. Like with security, a standard of constant privacy will become the new normal. For example, while many organizations treated GDPR as a project, with a finite end, compliance is a continuous exercise that requires the same focus and vigilance as security or taxes"—Chris Babel, CEO, TrustArc
"Consumers will start to reclaim control and monetize their data. Ownership of customer data will transition away from businesses and back toward customers themselves, and new services will emerge that empower customers to even monetize their own personal data and rent it back to companies. Data is the fuel that powers AI, and customers will realize they have the power to drive their own AI-based experiences by reclaiming data control"—Dr. Rob Walker, vice president, decision management and analytics, Pegasystems
"GDPR was a great first step, but global regulation and governance still remain a complex web. The United States will continue to fall further and further behind in competency and international relations as our federal compliance efforts simply aren't moving fast enough to meet worldwide requirements. Countries where privacy is prioritized and seamlessly integrated will see the most optimal growth"—Tomas Honzak, Chief Information Security Officer, GoodData
"Data protection legislation will continue to influence societal expectations on security, which will trickle down to companies and their supply chains. Consumers have always felt protective of their data, but with new legislation redefining the data landscape, consumers have grown more confident in demanding their data be treated with respect, that its uses are kept visible and clear, and that it is used only as they agreed. The pressure these new societal expectations will exert cannot be overstated, both on public-facing companies and through them all the way down their supply chains. Make no mistake, security and data handling are seen now by all successful companies to be as critical to business and contracts as confidentiality and liability limits have always been"—Geoff Forsyth, CTO, PCI Pal
"There will be a lot more focus on privacy and security of connected cars. The information from the connected car is arguably more sensitive than our credit card information – where do we go, when do we go there, when are we home, where do we shop and work, where do our kids go to school and what locations do we go to at what time. There will be breaches of this personal information and bad things that happen as a result. There will be more of the takeover scenarios where an external (bad) actor can take over the technology. This too will result in backlash and involvement of political and legal entities to begin to make laws and precedents. What can law enforcement access and discover to use for investigation purposes?"—Todd Walter, chief technologist, Teradata
"As privacy concerns grow, there will be an increasing interest in privacy-preserving machine-learning techniques that are able train accurate models without compromising privacy"—Prasad Chalasani, Chief Scientist, MediaMath
"The global regulatory environment will become more challenging as regulators and governments worldwide continue to strive to implement better data privacy protection as was done with GDPR. While this is a great progress, we're going to see these governments counter to gain more access to information"—Phil Dunkelberger, CEO, Nok Nok Labs
"As governments implement new data privacy regulations, enterprises will increasingly adopt a 'Privacy First' approach to data management. However, the challenges these enterprises will face as they seek to integrate data privacy best practices into their existing applications, as well as new mobile, IoT and other applications, will be significant. Enterprises will need AI-powered, automated, outcome-driven data management solutions to address these challenges if they hope to implement strong data privacy policies without sacrificing productivity or agility"—Don Foster, senior director of worldwide solutions marketing, Commvault
"In 2019, the US government will NOT adopt any new digital privacy policies despite the recent congressional hearings with Twitter, Facebook, Google, etc."—Kevin Lee, Trust and Safety Architect, Sift Science
The Cloud changes everything and everything is connected… and vulnerable
"Your smart fridge will start scamming you. IoT-connected appliances such as refrigerators and washing machines already produce unattended payments that the user cannot personally verify. Fraudsters see this vulnerability now and will begin to take advantage of it"—Uri Rivner, Chief Cyber Officer, BioCatch
"In 2019, the two main targets for cyber-attackers will be the cloud and user devices. Operating systems on user devices provide more functionality than ever before, making them more vulnerable and an easy target for attackers. At the same time, users will expect more flexibility and the ability to work with any OS, any application, and on any device. As organizations look provide security, privacy, and productivity, they will have to shift to a new, 'zero trust' device architecture"—Tal Zamir, CEO, Hysolate
"IoT, in its current state, is not secure. There are secure devices out there, but they are the exception rather than the rule. Perhaps more concerning is that there are no revolutions in IoT security on the horizon. IoT will continue to be vulnerable in 2019"—Erez Yalon, Head of Security Research, Checkmarx
"A marked shift from network security towards identity-based application security will take place next year. The cloud causes traditional control planes to become obsolete. From firewalls and IPS's to host-based security tools, current technologies cannot be implemented in an effective and constructive manner. Application identities, in a similar process that user identity underwent in the last couple of years, will conquer the main stage"—Ran Ilany, CEO, Portshift
"With Waymo, Cruise, Uber and other autonomous vehicle industry players rushing to the market and expanding previously limited pilots to wider scale public deployments, we predict that a self-driving car used 'in production' will be hacked. The immediate implications are unlikely to be life-threatening, however, they will only strengthen concerns about a potential nightmare scenario like car ransomware"—Nir Gaist, CTO and co-founder,Nyotron
"Teams will shift to prioritizing cloud-delivered security solutions over traditional appliance-based point products. In addition, teams will shift to simplifying security architectures by prioritizing solutions that provide consolidated feature sets that would have traditionally required numerous separate point products. This will be driven by a vastly expanded attack surface and necessary operational efficiency for understaffed teams"—Gene Stevens, CTO & Co-Founder, ProtectWise
"From Windows to IoTs, Apple and Microsoft have invested colossal amounts in information security to make it very difficult for attackers to enter. In addition, due the accelerated growth in the number of IoT vendors and a severe lack of regulation, significant investments are now being made in developing breakthrough attack capabilities in this field"—Eilon Lotem, CTO, SAM Seamless Network
"IoT-enabled device innovation will continue to outpace the security built into those devices and Federal government regulation will continue to inadequately define the laws and fines required to affect change. State-level regulations will be enacted to improve the situation, but will likely fall short in impact, and in many cases, only result in a false sense of consumer confidence with respect to the security of these devices"—Carolyn Crandall, Chief Deception Officer, Attivo Networks.
"Cyber breaches will have increased impacts on corporate stock prices, especially in the technology and cyber security sector. The rate at which we're seeing attacks, and the breadth of the impact is alarming but as of yet haven't had a large impact on stock prices. However, this will soon change as organizations complete their digital transformation and move to the cloud. Once this happens, a breach is going to have a larger impact on their revenue and as a result a detrimental effect on stock price. Another impact of companies moving operations and revenue to the cloud is we're going to see more criminal and state organizations going after cybersecurity companies to infiltrate code in their distribution base or take them offline to get to the corporations themselves"—Stan Lowe, Global CISO, Zscaler
"Consumers and legislators alike are increasingly aware of the cyber risks facing the automotive industry as vehicles become increasingly connected.Due to the growing number of susceptible entry points in today's connected cars, it is only a matter of time before the automotive industry experiences further significant cyber-related product recalls. Moving into 2019, it is imperative that OEM and Tier 1 suppliers ensure robust cyber security protections over the course of the vehicle lifespan. A multi-layered, end-to-end security solution that enables over the air system update capabilities will become the norm. Now is the time for automakers to be proactive and take the wheel in deploying effective solutions for automotive cyber security"—Yoni Heilbronn, CMO, Argus Cyber Security
"Cloud and DevOps transformations will rapidly gain pace in 2019, increasing the risk at the web application layer for enterprises. The reason for this increase is simple: the application layer used to be mostly static assets like marketing websites, but flash forward to today, it is now often the primary way an enterprise interacts with their customers (via full featured web applications or APIs that back mobile apps). This massive shift in functionality comes an equally massive shift in risk. The number one lesson for CISOs is that the transformation to cloud and DevOps will be successful if you can shift your security program from being a blocker to an enabler and focus on making your application and DevOps teams security self-sufficient"—Zane Lackey, Co-Founder and CSO, Signal Sciences
"Endpoint security will be redefined by detection and response features (EDR), plus managed detection and response (MDR) services. Endpoint prevention (EPP) has been king of the hill for years, now more than 80% of these solutions fall behind on requirements to provide a combined prevention, detection, investigation, response, system management, and security hygiene as a solution set via a single agent for Windows, macOS and Linux systems. Less than 20% of organizations have the resources and skills for mature EDR solutions which will drive the need for MDR services to the majority of companies, even more so for 24/7 coverage"—Tom Clare, Senior Product Manager, Fidelis Cybersecurity
"With IoT growth posing huge unknown risks to enterprises with the introduction of 5G, businesses will increasingly need to invest in both technology and employee training in order to prepare for the next generation threat landscape. What's more is that 5G will not only give rise to new threats, but it will also provide cyber criminals with new opportunities to carry out attacks that we have seen grow in popularity over the years with greater force and impact. With this in mind, even an organization that 'does everything right' to combat threats posed by 5G could still be impacted just as easily as those that are less security savvy"—James Willett, Vice President of Technology, Neustar
"As IoT innovation continues to blossom, more and more IoT devices will continue to get involved in DDoS attacks in 2019. Routers and cameras are the major types of IoT devices involved in DDoS attacks, with routers making up 69.7% of IoT devices exploited to launch DDoS attacks, and 24.7% of cameras in 2017. This is because a great number of routers and web cameras have been introduced into production and living environments, with no sufficient security measures enforced. We have every reason to believe that attacks leveraging the IoT will become more diverse in the future"—Guy Rosefelt, Director of Product management for Threat Intelligence & Web Security, NSFOCUS
"With the number of IoT technologies in the workplace beginning to outnumber conventional IT assets, there is an ever-increasing probability that these devices will be used as entry point by malicious actors to further compromise corporations for data breaches. Expect in 2019 to see this come to reality and several breaches will be directly tied to installed IoT technology"—Deral Heiland, IoT Research Lead, Rapid7
"Industrial control systems are the wild-west of cybersecurity at the moment. These systems control factories, buildings, utilities, etc. Most systems have little-to-no protection, and best practices are still being adopted very slowly. They also represent extremely high-value targets, especially from a strategic point of view. A few new companies have entered the landscape, but it is still an extremely young industry"—Bryan Becker, application security researcher, WhiteHat Security
"At a time where nearly every device is connected to the internet, vendors should be taking security seriously. Too many of these products, toys, and phone apps that connect to the cloud in an insecure or unencrypted fashion and are at risk. Security issues have been plaguing the IoT market from the very beginning and it will only continue to exacerbate in 2019. IoT manufacturers will continue to race to introduce new products before their competitors bypassing secure coding practices resulting in products that add risk to corporate environments"—Karl Sigler, Threat Intelligence Manager, Trustwave SpiderLabs
"It's important to consider the role of certificates in a world of connected devices. Nations (and more U.S. states) will follow California's lead and enact legislation requiring security for IoT networks. This is particularly important for the healthcare, transportation, energy, and manufacturing sectors, which face the highest risk. The legislation stops short of prescribing strong forms of authentication—but thankfully, consortium groups such as the Open Connectivity Foundation and AeroMACS have championed the use of strong certificate-based authentication in their best practice standards for IoT—Damon Kachur, Vice President of IoT, Sectigo
"It may not seem like a big deal for an attacker to compromise your smart-lights, but those can connect to your smart home management device (e.g., Google Home, Amazon Echo), and from there propagate throughout both your physical and notional personal networks. And those networks can be tied to even larger ones that could result in high-profile DDoS attacks. Every added device is an added attack surface, and we're in for a very rude awakening in the near future"—Ken Underhill, Master Instructor, and Joe Perry, Director of Research, Cybrary
Cybersecurity skill set transformation
"As IT organizations embrace public cloud environments, the threat of cyber-attacks and malicious attempts is a growing phenomenon. However, a gap still exists between the industry's needs and what can be achieved with the available workforce. As cloud increasingly becomes a part of every IT environment, 2019 will be a key year for re-skilling the workforce, educating new talent and making the right moves to face the cyber challenge"—Avishai Sharlin, General Manager, Amdocs Technology
"The role of CISO will become intertwined with CTO. Security will need to integrate into the operations of a business if it is to become an enabler rather than a blocker of innovation. The same can be said for the blurred lines between the roles of the CISO and CTO. We have seen time and again the c-suite take the brunt of the fallout following high-profile security breaches - where the buck used to stop long before the CEO, the fallout from a security breach increasingly takes senior management along with the security and teaching teams. As a result, the distinction between the traditional roles of the CISO and CTO will become yet more gray next year"—Ivan Novikov, CEO, Wallarm
"Security is increasingly starting at the developer level, a trend that will only grow next year. As an industry, we've realized that security should lie at the heart of any digital transformation initiative and should never be an afterthought but built-in by design. The code should be secure, as well as the design and processes. DevSecOps should be applied for applications as well as the cloud, infrastructure and work with partners. Organizations will look to create more security ambassadors at the developer level next year who can advocate for employee awareness around the individual's role in overall security"—Brent Schroeder, CTO Americas, SUSE
"In 2018, cybersecurity was more widely accepted as a board level topic and senior executives became more aware about its impact on achieving business goals and brand protection. Looking toward 2019, boards will want to see objective measurement and validation of program effectiveness, and will continue to bring on independent cybersecurity advisors or add team members with experience in cybersecurity, putting more pressure on CISOs. As a result, the effectiveness of cybersecurity programs will rely more and more on CISOs and their ability to partner with the board and communicate security needs to them. CISOs that can communicate a clear strategy and a measurable plan will have increased support, as well as funding for key initiatives"—Andrew Howard, CTO, Kudelski Security
"It's no surprise that we are currently in a massive deficit of qualified cybersecurity talent. In 2019, we will see a more modern approach to recruiting and retention in the cybersecurity workforce to fill this void and create more diversity. We will see an uptick in apprenticeship programs, more diverse training, recruiting practices and federal funding to help bridge the enormous talent and diversity gap the industry has today"—Jason Albuquerque, CISO, Carousel Industries
The ever-evolving cybersecurity landscape
"The security industry tends to look at future trends as monumental shifts in attack methodologies, security technologies, or predictions. In reality, shifts in attack methodologies, security technologies, and observations tend to be incremental. Spending 20% of your time enhancing controls on the security essentials can easily yield 80% of your security improvements. The remaining time should be spent on exploring more advanced technologies that can help fill some of the more niche gaps in your security program. In the coming year, shifts in attacks will be incremental if the same old attacks continue to work as they have in the past"—Jason Rebholz, Senior Director at Gigamon
"In 2019, we will see advances in mobile biometric sensors. The industry has dipped its toe in the water in regards to fingerprint sensors being placed underneath phone screens as a solution to eliminate the "home button," expect to see these screen sensors cannonball into becoming the norm. We may even see Samsung extend their capability with Iris beyond phone unlock and Samsung apps. There will be a battle as to which biometric is best, face or fingerprint, with focus on usability rather than performance rates, ultimately this will come down to user preference as to which is more convenient for individuals and fits better with their use cases"—John Callahan, CTO, Veridium
"The demand for affordable, managed security service providers will increase dramatically in 2019 due to a rise in attacks on small and medium sized businesses as a result of successful monetization of ransomware, crimeware and extortion by criminal organizations. With the shortage of available security professionals in the workforce, one of the only places SMB's will be able to turn to in 2019 are MSSPs"—Sharon Reynolds, Chief Information Security Officer, Omnitracs
"In 2019, healthcare organizations will be the number one target for attackers. The evolution of attacks has made it much harder to secure the industry, creating and growing an entire ecosystem that lends itself to multiple forms of fraud that the attacker can profit off of. For example, in healthcare, when protected health information (PHI) is stolen, attackers are able to steal identities, gaining access to medical information, which the attacker either uses or sells to then obtain prescriptions to be traded or sold illegally"—Bob Adams, cybersecurity specialist, Mimecast
"New, high-profile breaches will push the security industry to finally solve the username/password problem. The ineffective username/password conundrum has plagued consumers and businesses for years. There are many solutions out there—asymmetric cryptography, biometrics, blockchain, hardware solutions, etc.—but so far, the security industry has not been able to settle on a standard to fix the problem. In 2019, we will see a more concerted effort to replace the password solution all together"—Marcin Kleczynski, Founder and CEO, Malwarebytes
"In 2019 we will see an evolution in the two-factor authentication (2FA) process that directly addresses some of the most discussed fraud attacks. It's a documented fact that the use of 2FA to stop unauthorized account access has exponentially decreased account takeover fraud around the globe, but as fraudsters have evolved, so too must the techniques used to combat them. The increasing prevalence of SIM swap fraud and porting fraud (where attackers take over an end-user phone number so they can intercept one-time passcodes) has led to more collaboration between online businesses and mobile network operators, who can tell those businesses (in real-time) when a SIM swap or porting change has occurred. What we will see as 2019 unfolds is the use of that data to augment 2FA, which will ultimately ensure the continued growing adoption of this important security step by both businesses and their users"—Stacy Stubblefield, Co-Founder and Chief Innovation Officer, TeleSign
"Year-end cyber predictions often focus on specific threat categories and whether or not to expect an increase or decrease in their activity. 2019, however, promises a more fundamental shift in the cyberthreat landscape, for example the impact of social media as an exploding vector for malicious activities and the implications for businesses protecting their assets. Cybersecurity is not an IT problem, it is far wider than just 'computers' and the threats ahead in 2019 will make this painfully obvious"—Raj Samani, Chief Scientist and McAfee Fellow, McAfee
"Fraud attacks continue to rise, and we can expect to see them increase in volume up to 2-3X in the coming year. In addition to an increase number of attacks, we anticipate cyber criminals will leverage new tactics to fool retailers and consumers. We will continue to see them utilizing compromised data obtained from data breaches, but beyond that we can anticipate the use of account take over efforts like attacking small and medium-sized online merchants that don't have proper eCommerce fraud risk technologies, and attacking online merchants with high speed velocity, identity takeover, and brute force high volume attempts"—Steven Gray, Head of Payments, Tax and Fraud, Radial
"In 2019, there will be continued consolidation of companies in the security sector, especially for those that have developed technologies that relate to Digital Identities (DIs), including the on-boarding of individuals behind the DIs, the authentication of the individuals behind the DIs (MFA), and the continual management of privileges and access (IAM)"—Todd Shollenbarger, Chief Global Strategist, Veridium
"Small organizations are finally realizing that they need to be as prepared as large organizations when it comes to cybersecurity, making it no longer an IT problem but a larger business challenge within every organization. Additionally, we will see small businesses' approach to cybersecurity impacting larger organizations through the supply chain vector. Hackers will take advantage of smaller organizations, which often fuel larger business' supply chains, because they typically have security vulnerabilities that can be more readily exploited than larger 'targeted' companies"—Brian NeSmith, CEO and co-founder, Arctic Wolf Networks
"Because security has not been built into established industries like utilities, these sectors are an easy target across the globe and a prime mark for attackers looking to engage in cyber warfare. While their vulnerability has been well-documented, I believe the industry won't take the threat seriously until something significant occurs—but by then, it will be too late. As we head into 2019, expect this threat to intensify until it finally boils over and results in action. By 2023, Threat X predicts there will be a major attack on a US utility that will finally force the industry to address these vulnerabilities"—Bret Settle, CEO, Threat X
"Risk management is going to become an extremely critical topic for both the public and private sector next year. As a nation, we are facing complex geopolitical issues and state-sponsored attacks targeting our businesses and government on an enormous scale. Large financial institutions and Silicon Valley companies have already experienced billions of dollars in losses due to decisions being made without effective Enterprise Risk Management. Data is both an asset and a liability and next year we are going to see the regulatory environment become even more complex around data governance, which will see Enterprise Risk Management become a huge priority for the c-suite and board"—David Pigott, Chief Compliance Officer, Neustar

Southfield is a suburb of Detroit located about twelve miles northwest of the central city. It is noted for the Northland Regional Shopping Center, the first large regional shopping center built in the United States (opened 1954), and the Prudential Town Center, a suburban "pseudo-city" consisting of skyscraper towers surrounded by extensive parking lots built from 1973-1989. Lacking in the integrated social and economic qualities of traditional cities, this sort of development nevertheless meets the needs of its users efficiently and is representative of planning and architecture in late 20th Century America.

OAK HILL, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35) - Crime Stoppers of Northeast Florida is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of a teenager wanted in the shooting of an Oak Hill man who was left paralyzed.
Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood said the reward is up for grabs in exchange for information about the location of James "Buddha" Powell, 15, a suspect in the shooting that left the victim critically injured. A second teen who was also being sought, Sylvano Leslie II, 17, turned himself in late Monday night, at the Daytona Beach Police Department.
"A car load of these thugs shows up and are told they're not allowed to enter. They shove the father, says he's going to kill them, pulls a gun and shoots him in the neck," Sheriff Chitwood explained.
According to the sheriff, Joel Tatro, 45, allowed his high school sons to have friends over.
"Here's an incident where parents are doing the right thing. They're having a party for about 10 of their kids high school friends. They're monitoring it. It's invitation only. They were sitting out there at the fire pit, listening to music, doing what 15-year-old kids do, and it almost cost this man his life," said Chitwood.
The sheriff said Tatro stepped in after his sons asked the party-crashers to leave. Neighbors said they heard three gunshots.
"It went in the left side of his neck, through his spinal column in the vertebrae and out his right shoulder," said Trina Tatro, the victim's mother.
Anyone who knows the whereabouts of Powell is asked to call the Volusia County Sheriff's Office or Crime Stoppers of Northeast Florida 1-800-277-TIPS (8477).
Sizzling sunshine, high humidity, and rain chances are all on tap this Wednesday.
The day kicks off mainly sunny with rapidly warming temperatures rising through mid-day.
Storms chances will begin brewing up after 12 p.m. with coverage near 20 percent along the beaches, 40 percent in the Orlando metro, and 50 percent as you go west of Orlando and into Lake County. Rain will fizzle out as the sun goes down.

Beach goers watched in disbelief, after police say a father threw his 5-year-old son into the Atlantic Ocean and walked off, leaving the struggling child behind.
According to the arrest report, the child was crying as beach goers dried him off and called police. They said John Bloodsworth, 37, told them that he was just trying to teach the child how to swim.
Right before police arrived, witnesses said the father and son went on top of the Daytona Beach Pier, where the father decided to take a leap.
Report: Climate change will permanently raise heat indexes in Florida
By Evan Axelbank, FOX 13 News
If you are tired of the hot, sticky feeling you get when you walk outside, too bad.
Climate scientists have released a report saying, within 15 years, Florida is going to have many times the current number of days with heat indexes higher than 100 degrees.
The Union of Concerned scientists on Tuesday released a blunt report titled "Killer Heat in the United States."

Speaking of corporate America, watching what is happening in the US tempts me to seek consulting work back in the corporate world. I always felt that some corporate culture in the US dangerously drove people to fudging their numbers. I often had the outside opinion on a lot of issues, which typically got rejected quickly because we all stayed inside a certain comfort zone. I don't claim to have a silver bullet, but at the same time all the big shot bankers and corporate executives that are now making excuses are the same people who led their companies down the primrose path of self-destruction in the first place.

There is so much fun that goes on any given school year. Here is a fun way to remind parents of special school events, fun school days and even remind them of what days gym shoes need to be worn those first few weeks of school.
Alas, there are still papers that need to go home and helpful reminders that need to be sent.
For fun school events, I liked to send my kinders home with reminder bracelets.
What is a reminder bracelet?
Quick reminder bracelets are paper bands that can be taped on, stapled shut, closed with a sticker or even lickable glue.
The paper band has a cute design so it looks like a bracelet and kids enjoy wearing them and showing them off to their parents.
Parents enjoy this type of reminder. It easily gets noticed and is playful.
I like that it was quick to use in the classroom. What made it super efficient was that I taught students how to put them on themselves and help each other put them on too.
Here's how easy it is to use the quick reminder bracelets in roughly 30 seconds!
You simply print, cut and pass them out.
Or you can brush on a batch of lickable glue onto each page (and let it dry) before you cut. I include the recipe in the instant download. It's pretty much just a novelty – but I like it using it from time to time.
I've included a cutting guide to make it super fast for cutting on a paper cutter at school so you can make tons of these in no time flat.
They look great in both color and printed in black and white. It's up to you what you want to use!
I designed them to overlap to fit small wrists with the fewest cuts. Less prep work on the teacher's end.
The bracelets were always such a hit that we used them to edify good behavior too. You will love the behavior bracelets and sweet behavior bracelets too.
There you have my solution to reminding parents of special school days, fun events and specials like library and gym days.
Want to know my secret to collecting money in kindergarten for the extra special types of days and events? It's as simple as spicing up a plain envelope.
