The Curious Case of Indian Startups and Trademarks
|In Trademarks
I have a startup story and it's not a pleasant one. So if you're expecting to read tales of college grads hunched over laptops in a basement, who created something unique, got funded and are billionaires by the time they are twenty eight, stop reading right away.
I'm serious…. This here, is a story of how valuable trademark rights are, and the perils of ignoring them.
I was approached by the founder of a startup about 6 months back because he had received a legal notice alleging trademark infringement from an Indian pharmaceutical company. The startup was providing a service through their website and mobile app and had recently re-branded and registered a domain let's say ickki.com [did you really think I would reveal the actual name?!].
As it turns out, the pharmaceutical company had been selling one of their many products under the name icki and had been doing this for over 15 years. The legal notice was a brief one, just informing the founder that they had come across ickki in a newspaper write up on their recent funding of several hundred thousand dollars and that they weren't impressed. They wanted the startup to stop using the trademark ickki in any manner since it was deceptively similar to theirs.
The founder of the startup was an extremely smart chap, but in his mind, there was no confusion, since icki was just a drug and his was a domain. He was under the impression that ickki.com as a whole (including the .com portion) was a trademark in itself and different from the other mark.
He was also rather keen on pointing out the difference of one letter – 'k' or the lack of it with the pharma company's trademark. He felt that Ickki was different from icki on that footing.
So was he stuck with no options at this stage? No.
With the law there are always multiple strategies that can be used. After attempting to dispel the misconceptions on the domain as a trademark issue and that removing one letter but having the marks sound the same isn't a great defense, I went on the suggest ways of arguing the matter. There was also something about the no nonsense tone of the pharma company's legal notice that gave me the impression that they wouldn't think twice before going to Court, unless this was handled swiftly and appropriately. So to counter that, I'd advised the founder to file Caveats (An application filed with a Court if you anticipate a threat so that no orders can be passed without giving you a chance to present your side)
Unfortunately the founder felt I was making a big deal of the whole 'Trademark' issue and felt he'd deal with the whole issue on his own. I never heard from him after that.
While going through the list of IP judgements that had been passed in the last week, I came across an order passed by the Delhi High Court holding that the startup had to stop using the trademark ickki in any manner and ordered the shutting down of the website. The order was passed on an urgent basis without even giving the startup a chance to be heard. [It looked like he didn't file the Caveat after all] The order has to now be appealed and a stay on the injunction can be obtained, but that would involve some serious legal costs. An injunction against the startup, even if it means they have to change their name is bound to shake the faith of the investors and cause un-necessary problems.
Is it the end of the world for them? No! But it is definitely a problem that could have been avoided. Unfortunately this story is not a one off. There are far too many Indian startups and businesses in general that ignore the importance of trademark rights and there are numerous disputes such as these that are coming up these days. The same Internet and social media publicity that puts startups on the map also brings them into the cross hairs of IP holders.
So does that mean you crawl up in your corner and sulk? No!
A very simple solution lies before anyone starting up a business – Do a trademark search and get proper legal advice.
Pick a good name – This name is for what you will call your company/entity and the product that you will be offering. Chose the names wisely so that you create something that's unique and doesn't infringe on someone else's rights
Once you've come up with a distinct and unique name [misspelling existing words don't count as unique] you have to conduct a trademark search. The records of the Trademark Registry has to be searched for a given trademark in the class of goods or services that the mark is going to be used for.
It's not enough that the search is done only for the interested class. The trademark search has to be conducted for related classes as well.
With Google around, definitely do a basic Google search to see if there are any other entities in the market – India is a common law country, so even if a trademark has been used but not registered the rights can be protected. That means even if a trademark didn't pop up in the Trademark search of the Registry, but a Google search shows it, don't ignore the results.
So while you're focusing on launching a great product or a service, it's easy to put legal issues on the back-burner. While it's a probably a natural instinct, it may not be in the best interest of your business as you may never get the chance to show the world your capabilities when facing a litigation at the very beginning.
You don't want to be all dressed up with nowhere to go!

Q: How do I get all the attributes of an XML element using Go? I am trying to parse xml content along with all the attributes of an XML element  like this
type Node struct {
  XMLName xml.Name
  Attributes []xml.Attr `xml:",attr"`
  BodyElements string `xml:",innerxml"`
  Nodes   []Node `xml:",any"`
}

var xmldata = []byte("

")

func walk(nodes []Node, f func(Node) bool) {
  for _, n := range nodes {
    if f(n) {
        walk(n.Nodes, f)
    }
  }
}

func main() {

  buf := bytes.NewBuffer(xmldata)
  dec := xml.NewDecoder(buf)

  var n Node
  err := dec.Decode(&n)
  if err != nil {
    panic(err)
  }

  walk([]Node{n}, func(n Node) bool {
    if n.XMLName.Local == "p" {
        fmt.Println(string(n.BodyElements))
    } else if n.XMLName.Local == "div"{
        fmt.Println(string(n.BodyElements))
        fmt.Println(len(n.Attributes))
    }
    return true
  })
}

But the value of len(n.Attributes) is always 0. What can I do to get all the attributes in the given element. NOTE: The attribute names are not constant as sometime the element can be a "div" tag or "img" tag or something else. So I can't use the attribute name as
DataId string `xml:"data-id,attr"`

A: The fundamental problem is that unmarshalling XML to your struct Node doesn't work. Your BodyElements captures the whole content of your root node and nothing is unmarshaled to your Nodes. (Btw: Adding a simple fmt.Printf would have revealed this.)
Why do you try to write your own XML unmarshalling/parsing code? You will fail.
Just use the Decoder and the Token method to parse your XML by hand, one token after each other, populating your tree manually. And: If your XML actually is HTML you might want to parse it with package html.

Eames House Bird
Charles and Ray Eames enriched the collage-like interior of their private home, the Eames House, with numerous objects and accessories that they brought back from their travels. For over fifty years, the figure of a black wooden bird has stood in the centre of the living room – an artefact of American folk art that was evidently highly treasured by the couple, since it also appeared frequently as an accessory in photographs taken by Charles and Ray.
If you love the House Bird we recommend the Vitra anecdote "A bird's story" in our Magazine.
Charles Eames, born 1907 in St. Louis, Missouri, studied architecture at Washington University in St. Louis and opened his own office together with Charles M. Gray in 1930. In 1935 he founded another architectural firm with Robert T. Walsh. After receiving a fellowship in 1938 from the Cranbrook Academy of Art, he moved to Michigan and joined the faculty the following year. In 1940, he and Eero Saarinen won first prize for their joint entry in the competition 'Organic Design in Home Furnishings' organised by the New York Museum of Modern Art. During the same year, Eames became head of the department of industrial design at Cranbrook, and in 1941 he married Ray Kaiser. Ray Eames was born as Bernice Alexandra Kaiser in Sacramento, California, in 1912. She attended Bennett College in Millbrook, New York, and continued her studies in painting under Hans Hofmann through 1937. During this year she exhibited her work in the first exhibition of the American Abstract Artists group at the Riverside Museum in New York. She matriculated at the Cranbrook Academy of Art in 1940 and married Charles Eames the following year. From 1941 to 1943, Charles and Ray Eames designed and developed stretchers and leg splints made of moulded plywood, and in 1946 they exhibited their experimental moulded plywood furniture at the New York Museum of Modern Art. The Herman Miller Company in Zeeland, Michigan, subsequently began to produce the Eameses' furniture designs. Charles and Ray participated in the 1948 'Low-Cost Furniture' competition at MoMA, and they built the Eames House in 1949 as their own private residence. Around 1955 they began to focus more on their extensive work as photographers and filmmakers, and in 1964 Charles received an honorary doctoral degree from the Pratt Institute in New York. The Eames Office designed the IBM Pavilion for the 1964-65 World's Fair in New York, and the year 1969 offered the opportunity to participate in the exhibition 'Qu'est-ce que le design?' at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. In 1970-71, Charles was appointed as the Charles Eliot Norton Professor of Poetry at Harvard University. MoMA again presented an exhibition of the Eameses' work, entitled 'Furniture by Charles Eames', in 1973. Charles Eames died in St. Louis in 1978; Ray's death followed in 1988. Charles and Ray Eames have had a profound and lasting influence on Vitra. The company's activity as a furniture manufacturer began in 1957 with the production of their designs. Yet it is not just the products of Charles and Ray Eames that have left their mark on Vitra. Even today, their design philosophy continues to profoundly shape the company's values, orientation and goals.

EVERYONE AND EVERY THING DESERVES A SECOND CHANCE.
Free collection for all your used furniture donations.
WE are a community of people in recovery from substance misuse. We operate a social enterprise called The Compass Project which takes donated goods from our local community, recycles them and sells them in our two recycled goods shops.
We started this project from scratch – with hardly any money, no professional help, and virtually no recognition from the recovery community. When we told people that we wanted to build and run a social enterprise comprised entirely of people with a history of addiction they thought we were crazy. We have definitely had to fight and struggle along the way. But this struggle has been tiny compared to our full out tug-of-war with self-destruction and anger and drugs. You see – we are capable of extraordinary things because we are survivors of this crippling affliction.
Two years on and the success of our second hand furniture shops has surpassed even our own expectations. We have since worked collaboratively with other organisations both locally and regionally. We look forward to even more growth. We are proud to be members of The Compass Project.
Recently our director Kevin Neal and one of our store managers were interviewed by BBC Bristol's John Darvall for Sports Relief. Listen to learn about our process and how the money you donate to causes like Sports Relief and Comic Relief helps projects like ours.
If you are starting your journey in recovery and need support to move your new life forward look into becoming a member. Maybe you are an organisation or group that would like to help us raise funds. Or maybe you simply have some used furniture you are looking to donate to a good cause in Bristol.
There is a way for everyone to be part of the solution!


When our Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) allows permitted traffic pass, that is an example of what?
To help with managing the applications we allow on our servers and workstations, we are creating an application whitelist. What are we doing?
Making a list of prohibited applications.
Answer : Make a list of allowed applications.
Explanation Application whitelisting: We can whitelist the applications we want to allow to run on our environments, but it can also be compromised. We would whitelist against a trusted digital certificate, a known hash or path and name, the latter is the least secure, an attacker can replace the file at the path with a malicious copy.
Which of these would NOT be part of the server hardening process, we do before we promote a new server into our production environment?
Answer : Leave the default ports open.
Explanation Leaving ports open is the opposite of server hardening. When we receive or build new systems they often are completely open, before we introduce them to our environment we harden them. We develop a long list of ports to close, services to disable, accounts to delete, missing patches and many other things.
We are going over our backup policies and implementations. Which type of backup backs everything up and clears the archive bit?
Explanation Full backup: This backs everything up, the entire database (most often), or the system. A full backup clears the all archive bits. Dependent on the size of the data we may do infrequent full backups, with large datasets it can take many hours for a full backup.
In our Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) configuration, we are using disk striping. How many disks would be need AT LEAST for that?
In which of the sub-plans of our Business Continuity Plan (BCP) would we look at for dealing with evacuating staff in an emergency?
Explanation OEP (Occupant Emergency Plan): How do we protect our facilities, our staff and the environment in a disaster event. This could be fires, hurricanes, floods, criminal attacks, terrorism, etc. Focuses on safety and evacuation, details how we evacuate, how often we do the drills and the training staff should get.
When Jane is designing the specifications in our Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP), she is including technology and countermeasures for hurricanes. Which type of disasters is the focused on?
Explanation Natural: Hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, blizzards, anything that is caused by nature.
In our Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) we have distinct phases. In which of the phases do we DECREASE the likelihood on a disaster?
Explanation Mitigation: Reduce the impact, and likeliness of a disaster.
Our organization has used RAID (Redundant Array of Independent/Inexpensive Disks) for over 15 years. Which of these are associated with RAID? (Select all that apply).
Answer : Disk mirroring. Disk striping. Disk parity.
Explanation RAID (Redundant Array of Independent/Inexpensive Disks), comes in 2 basic forms, disk mirroring and disk striping. Disk mirroring: Writing the same data across multiple hard disks, this is slower, the RAID controller has to write all data twice. Uses at least 2 times as many disks for the same data storage, needs at least 2 disks. Disk striping: Writing the data simultaneously across multiple disks providing higher write speed. Uses at least 2 disks, and in itself does not provide redundancy. We use parity with striping for the redundancy, often by XOR, if we use parity for redundancy we need at least 3 disks.
In our Business Continuity Plan (BCP) plan, which team is the team responsible for the failback?
Which of these would indicate the average time between hardware failures?
Explanation MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures): How long a new or repaired system or component will function on average before failing, this can help us plan for spares and give us an idea of how often we can expect hardware to fail.
In our disaster planning, we are looking at another site. We would want there to be no real downtime if our main facility went down. What are we considering?
Explanation Redundant site: Complete identical site to our production, receives a real time copy of our data. Power, HVAC, Raised floors, generators, … If our main site is down the redundant site will r automatically have all traffic fail over to the redundant site. The redundant site should be geographically distant, and have staff at it. By far the most expensive recovery option, end users will never notice the failover.
We have an agreement with another organization in our line of business. We have a rack of our hardware in their data center and they have a rack in our data center. The racks are completely segmented off from the rest of the network. What are these agreements called?
Explanation Reciprocal Agreement site: Your organization has a contract with another organization that they will give you space in their data center in a disaster event and vise versa. This can be promised space or some racks with hardware completely segmented off the network there.
We do weekly full backups Sunday at midnight and daily incrementals at midnight. How many backup tapes would we use to restore all the data, if the system fails Wednesday afternoon?
Explanation We would need the Sunday full tape, the incremental tapes from Monday and Tuesday night so 3 tapes total.
In our backup strategy, why would we choose to use a differential backup over an incremental?
To exclude certain directories from the backup.
To include all directories in the backup.
Explanation Differential backup: Backs up everything since the last Full backup. Does not clear the archive bit. Faster to restore since we just need 2 tapes for a full restore, the full and the differential. Backups take longer than the incrementals, we are backing everything since the last full.
We are performing digital forensics on one of our hard drives after an attack. Which of these could be part of what use?
Explanation Digital forensics: The evidence we collect must be accurate, complete, authentic, convincing, admissible. Everything is documented. Chain of custody: who had it when? What was done? When did they do it? Pull the original, put it in write protected machine, we make a hash. We only do examinations and analysis on bit level copies. We confirm they have the same hash as the original before and after examination.
After an attack, we are performing digital forensics on one of the compromised hard drives. Which of these could be part of what use?
Answer : A write blocker.
Explanation Digital forensics: The evidence we collect must be accurate, complete, authentic, convincing, admissible. To ensure the disk is not written to and inadmissible, we can use a write blocker. For instance, a Tableau write blocker. Everything is documented. Chain of custody: who had it when? What was done? When did they do it? Pull the original, put it in write protected machine, we make a hash. We only do examinations and analysis on bit level copies. We confirm they have the same hash as the original before and after examination.
When we are doing our digital forensics, in which order would we perform the steps?
Answer : Identify, acquire, analyze, report.
Explanation The digital (computer) forensics process: Identify the potential evidence, acquire the evidence, analyze the evidence, make a report. We need to be more aware of how we gather our forensic evidence, attackers are covering their tracks, deleting the evidence and logs.
During and after an attack on one of our server, what would be one of the reason we would we NOT want to shut a compromised system down?
There could still be data on the hard disks, it will be lost if we shut the server down.
There could still be data in the non-volatile memory, it will be lost if we shut the server down.
There could still be permitted users on the system.
Answer : There could still be data in the volatile memory, it will be lost if we shut the server down.
Explanation The digital (computer) forensics process: We need to be more aware of how we gather our forensic evidence, attackers are covering their tracks, deleting the evidence and logs. This can be through malware that is only in volatile memory, if power is shut off (to preserve the crime scene), the malware is gone and the evidence is lost.
We are designing our patch management policies. Which parts of our environment should be patched regularly?
Explanation We should patch all our hardware on a regular schedule, if we do not we can have many vulnerabilities on our network. We want defense in depth.
What would be a good security practice we should implement for Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and Internet of Things (IoT) devices?
Allow them on the normal network so we can monitor them.
Allow employees to keep PHI on their own devices.
Let them use the same wireless as medical equipment is on.
Answer : Segment them on their own VLAN.
Explanation BYOD and IOT almost never have as good security posture as the organization hardware. We want to segment it on its own limited VLAN to ensure any compromised hardware can do as little damage as possible.
When we are building a new server, if we want fault tolerance, which of these would we NOT use?
Explanation RAID0 has not fault tolerance, it just writes the data onto two disks for faster speed. If a disk dies we have no redundancy.
Which of these would be something that staff could sign to acknowledge that they understand and agree with their responsibilities during a disaster?
Explanation MOU/MOA (Memorandum of Understanding/Agreement): Staff signs a legal document acknowledging they are responsible for a certain activity. If the test asks, "A critical staff member didn't show, and they were supposed to be there. What could have fixed that problem?" it would be the MOU/MOA. While slightly different, they are used interchangeably on the test.
We have a self-contained data center, which can be relocated. What would that be called?
Explanation Mobile site: Basically a data center on wheels, often a container or trailer that can be moved wherever by a truck. Has HVAC, fire suppression, physical security, (generator), etc.; everything you need in a full data center. Some are independent with generator and satellite internet, others needs power and internet hookups.
We do weekly full backups Sunday at midnight and daily differential at midnight. How many backup tapes would we use to restore the data if the system fails Wednesday afternoon?
Explanation We would need the Sunday full tape, the differential tape from Tuesday night so 2 tapes total. Differential backs up everything since the last full backup.
We are using a weekly full backup on Sundays and daily differential backups Monday - Saturday. The full backups have 4 weeks retention and the differential backups have 7 days retention. How many tapes would we use on a rolling basis after 1 month?
Explanation We would have 4 full backup tapes at all times and 6 differential tapes, totaling at 10 tapes at all times.
What could be a reason we would chose incremental backups over differential backups?
Answer : Faster backup time.
Explanation Incremental backups: Backs up everything that has changed since the last backup. Clears the archive bits. Incrementals are often fast to do, they only backup what has changed since the last incremental or full. Since they clear the archive bit each backup is faster than differential.
To have true power redundancy, we would want which of these configurations?
Redundant PSUs on the same UPS.
Redundant PSUs, but only one cabled at a time, we would swap the cable over if the master fails.
Answer : Redundant PSUs on different UPSs.
Explanation For real power redundancy we would want redundant power supplies connected to different (redundant) uninterruptible power supplies, if we use power distribution units we want the same redundancy, no single point of failure.
Jane is designing a server cluster with an active/passive relationship. What would she use on the passive server to monitor if the active server is up?
Explanation Clustering can be active/active; this is load balancing; with two servers, both servers would actively process traffic. Active/passive: there is a designated primary active server and a secondary passive server; they are connected, and the passive sends a keep-alive or heartbeat every 1-3 seconds, "are you alive, are you alive..."
The temperature is slowly rising in the area where our main data center is located. We are having a hard time keeping up with the load on our HVAC systems. Which of these would NOT be a solution we should consider?
Raising the data center temperature, but still keep it within the recommended levels.
Optimize the airflow in the data center.
Answer : Opening the doors to the data center at night to lower the temperature and let the HVAC systems catch up.
Explanation Opening the doors to our data center is asking for trouble, never a good idea. The optimal solution would be adding another HVAC, raising the temperature and optimizing airflow are also good solutions, but often only a temporary fix.
We are not able to fully run our organization because of a personnel shortage. Which type of a disaster is that related to?
Answer : It can be all of these.
Explanation Personnel shortage can be caused by natural events (flooding, hurricane etc.), environmental (power outages or road collapses) or human (strikes).
These are all known ways around our Intrusion Prevention/Detection Systems (IPS/IDS), EXCEPT which?
Answer : Using known signatures.
Explanation Using known signatures would get an attack noticed.
During or after a security incident, in which order would we work on the forensic evidence?
Least volatile to most volatile.
First compromised system to last compromised system.
Last compromised system to first compromised system.
Answer : Most volatile to least volatile.
Explanation Digital forensics collection: We examine and analyze the data, and again document everything. We handle the evidence as little as possible. Work from most volatile to least volatile, starting with the RAM and ending with the hard disks.
When we work with digital forensics, how should we handle the evidence?
Using the chain of custody when we have enough time.
To ensure it is not relevant to the case.
Answer : As little as possible.
Explanation Digital forensics collection: We examine and analyze the data, again document everything. We handle the evidence as little as possible.
In our incident management, what are the 3 LAST phases in order?
Answer : Recovery, remediation, lessons learned.
Explanation The last 3 are recovery, remediation, lessons learned. The current exam lists a 7-step lifecycle, but does not include the first step in most incident handling methodologies preparation. Preparation > Detection (Identification) > Response (Containment) > Mitigation (Eradication) > Reporting > Recovery > Remediation > Lessons Learned (Post-incident Activity, Post Mortem, or Reporting).
What would we have our staff sign to acknowledge they understand and agree with their assigned responsibilities during a disaster?
Explanation MOU/MOA (Memorandum of Understanding/Agreement): Staff signs a legal document acknowledging they are responsible for a certain activity. If the test asks "A critical staff member didn't show, and they were supposed to be there. What could have fixed that problem?" it would be the MOU/MOA. While slightly different they are used interchangeably on the test.
In designing our backup strategy, you are asked if there any types of backups you can't use together. Which of these would be the right answer?
Answer : Differential and incremental.
Explanation Never use both incremental and differential on the same data, it is fine on the same backup solution, different data has different needs.
When we are using Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) 5 on one of our servers, Jane is adding which type of a disk pool?
Answer : Striping with parity.
When should we update our Business Continuity Plan (BCP) and its sub plans outside of our annual cycle?
Every 12 months is fine, no need to update ever outside of that.
When we add a new server.
When we patch our Windows servers.
Answer : We changed major components of our systems (new backup solution, new IP scheme).
Explanation The plans needs to be continually updated, it is an iterative process. Plans should be reviews and updated at least every 12 month. If our organization has had a major change we also update the plans. This could be: We acquired another company or we split off into several companies. We changed major components of our systems (new backup solution, new IP scheme, …). We had a disaster and we had a lot of gaps in our plans. A significant part of senior leadership has changed.
In which of these processes would we build a business case, research vendors, and have stakeholders?
Explanation Project management we would look at the business case, RIO, research vendors and we have stakeholders.
When we are hardening our new systems, we are using which of these?
Explanation Configuration Management: Often it is easier to have OS images that are completely hardened, and use the image for the new system. We then update the image when new vulnerabilities are found or patches need to be applied. Often though, we use a standard image and just apply the missing patches. We do this for any device on our network, servers, workstations, phones, routers, switches, etc. Pre-introduction into our production environment, we run vulnerability scans against the system to ensure we didn't miss anything (rarely done on workstations; should be done on servers/network equipment). Having a standard hardening baseline for each OS ensures all servers are similarly hardened, and there should be no weak links. We also have the standardized hardening, making troubleshooting much easier.
Jane has been working on our server redundancy and she is adding parity to the RAID configurations. Why does she do that?
To help with read speed.
To prevent attackers from accessing the real data.
Answer : To be able to rebuild data from a lost disk.
Explanation We use parity with striping for the redundancy, often by XOR, if we use parity for redundancy we need at least 3 disks.
Which legs of the CIA triad can power fluctuations compromise?
Answer : Availability and Integrity.
Explanation Power fluctuations can damage hardware, which can interrupt our availability and integrity, faulty power can corrupt data.
Which of these could allow a US government agency to access your personal files and would circumvent the 4th amendment?
Explanation Anything subpoenaed, search warranted, turned over voluntary and in exigent circumstances (immediate danger of being destroyed), can allow law enforcement to bypass the 4th amendment. If it was legal will be decided in a court of law later. We need ensure our evidence is acquired in legal manner remember the US Constitution 4th amendment. The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated.
In our network forensics, which of these is a COMMON form used?
Answer : Stop, look and listen.
Explanation Network forensics: Systems used to collect network data for forensics use usually come in two forms: Catch-it-as-you-can: All packets passing through a certain traffic point are captured and written to storage with analysis being done subsequently in batch mode. This approach requires large amounts of storage. Stop, look and listen: Each packet is analyzed in a basic way in memory and only certain information is saved for future analysis. This approach requires a faster processor to keep up with incoming traffic.
Bob is working on categorizing incidents for our incident management plan. In which category would failed hard disks be?
Explanation Environmental: This is not nature, but the environments we work in, the power grid, the internet connections, hardware failures, software flaws, etc.
In which phase of incident management do we analyze events?
Explanation Detection: Events are analyzed to determine if they might be a security incident. If we do not have strong detective capabilities in and around our systems, we will most likely not realize we have a problem until long after it has happened. The earlier we detect the events, the earlier we can respond, IDS' can help us detect, where IPS' can help us detect and prevent further compromise.
Which type of intrusion system would only alerts us if they discover malicious traffic?
Explanation IDS (Intrusion Detection System): They are passive, they monitors, but they take no action other than sending out alerts. Events trigger alerts: Emails/text message to administrators or an alert on a monitoring tool, but if not monitored right this can take hours before noticed.
We have a system that only send us an alert when it discovers malicious data, and it happens after the data is decrypted. What type of system would that be?
Explanation Only alert (intrusion detection) and after encryption (host), so we would be using a HIDS.
When an attacker is avoiding defaults signatures and setting to avoid detection of our Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS), what is the attacker doing?
Have many different agents use different IPs and ports.
Answer : Sending traffic on a well-known TCP port, where we would not expect the malicious traffic.
Explanation Avoiding defaults: The TCP port utilized by a protocol does not always provide an indication to the protocol which is being transported. Attackers can send malware over an unexpected port.
Our Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) has blocked malicious traffic. What is this an example of?
Explanation True Positive: An attack is happening and the system detects it and acts.
We are restoring services and applications back from our DR site to our original site after a security incident. Which applications would we move back FIRST?
Explanation The BCP team has sub-teams responsible for rescue, recovery and salvage in the event of a disaster or disruption. Salvage team (failback): Responsible for returning our full infrastructure, staff and operations to our primary site or a new facility if the old site was destroyed. We get the least critical systems up first, we want to ensure the new sites is ready and stable before moving the critical systems back.
Why do we NOT use full backups for all backups?
The restore time can be too long.
Full doesn't clear the archive bit.
It would make restores use more tapes.
Answer : The backup time can be too long.
After a disaster, which team would be working on returning us to our primary facility, or getting a new site up?
If we are looking at our backups, what order would they be in if they were rated by which takes the longest to the shortest amount of time?
Full > Differential > Copy.
Full > Incremental > Differential.
Answer : Full > Differential > Incremental.
Explanation Full backups take the longest (same time as copy), differential take second most time and incremental the least amount of time.
Bob is applying patches to one of our systems, before he does that he wants a backup he can revert to if things go wrong. Which type of backup should he use?
As part of our Business Continuity Plan (BCP) and its sub plans we want to ensure we are redundant. Which of these is something we want to be redundant on?
Explanation We want layers of redundancy, just like we have defense in depth. We want power, internet, path, hardware, system, backup, people, etc. redundancy.

Raúl Alexander Chávez (born March 18, 1973 in Valencia, Carabobo, Venezuela) is a former baseball catcher. He bats and throws right-handed.

Career
Chávez played for the Montreal Expos (1996–1997), Seattle Mariners (1998), Houston Astros (2000, 2002–2005), Baltimore Orioles (2006), Pittsburgh Pirates (2008), and Toronto Blue Jays (2009). He also played in the New York Yankees minor league system in 2007.

Pittsburgh Pirates
In 2008, he played for the Pittsburgh Pirates. He declined a minor league assignment on December 10, 2008, becoming a free agent.

Toronto Blue Jays
On December 22, he signed a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training with the Toronto Blue Jays. He did not make the 25-man Jays' roster out of spring training, and was assigned to Triple A Las Vegas 51s. But an injury to Michael Barrett on April 17 sent Barrett to the disabled list, and Chavez was called up to the Blue Jays the next day to fill the roster spot. He made his 2009 debut catching Ricky Romero at Rogers Centre in Toronto on April 19, in a 1–0 win over the Oakland Athletics.

Chávez is known for his defense, specifically his exceptional arm, and is considered to call a solid game. On June 6, 2009, Chavez hit his first home run for the Toronto Blue Jays, giving them a 2–0 lead over the Kansas City Royals. On December 11, 2009, the Blue Jays declined to tender Chavez a contract, however two days later they signed him to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

New York Mets
On January 14, 2011, the New York Mets signed Chávez to a minor league deal with an invitation to spring training. He spent the season with the Buffalo Bisons before retiring.

The disgraced former Co-op bank chairman Paul Flowers has been ordered to pay £525 after pleading guilty to possession of cocaine, crystal meth and ketamine.
The 63-year-old Methodist minister entered his guilty pleas at Leeds magistrates court on Wednesday.
The prosecutor, Claire Stevens, told the court that Flowers, nicknamed the Crystal Methodist, had been secretly filmed handing over £300 in £20 notes in the back of a car in Leeds on 9 November last year.
The footage was then handed to the Mail on Sunday and broadcast widely in the media, prompting an investigation by West Yorkshire police, she told the district judge David Kitson.
Flowers was arrested on 21 November and straight away admitted to detectives that he was the man in the video, the court heard. "He said he had been a cocaine user for the past 18 months. He attributed the [drug use] to stress and caring for his terminally ill mother," said Stevens.
The minister told police he was aware of the effects of cocaine from his time as a trustee of Lifeline, a drugs charity, and used it to "keep himself going", said Stevens.
Flowers told officers that a man called Stuart Davies had sold the story to the Mail on Sunday, motivated by "greed", the court heard. Davies was arrested last year, but released without charge.
Richard Wright QC, defending, told the judge that the case was exceptional. Flowers was remorseful, he said, and continued to seek professional help for his problems.
He asked for his client to be given credit for pleading guilty at the earliest opportunity. He had "no relevant previous convictions" and ought to be treated as a man of good character, said Wright.
The barrister said Flowers had "lost so much" as a result of the affair and was not currently working. His only income is a pension of £510 a month, said Wright, though the minister had access to other assets after inheriting his mother's estate following her death in 2012.
A man at the back of the courtroom then coughed and shouted: "Liar," before being evicted.
The judge sentenced Flowers to a £400 fine – £200 each for two charges of possession of the Class A drugs cocaine and methamphetamine (crystal meth) – but no fine for possession of ketamine, a Class C drug. He was also ordered to pay a £40 victim surcharge and £85 towards prosecution costs, making a total of £525, payable within 28 days.
Another man, Gavin Woroniuk, appeared at Leeds magistrates court on Monday charged with four counts of intention to supply drugs to Flowers, and one charge of possessing criminal property, namely £1,000 in cash. He did not indicate a plea and his case has been sent to Leeds crown court, where he will appear on 21 May.
After being sentenced, Flowers left court flanked by three minders wearing dark suits and ties. He refused to comment to the media, telling one reporter he had "clearly not been listening in court" after the journalist asked if he felt any remorse. He was then bundled into a waiting car.
Flowers was the £132,000-a-year chairman of the "ethical" Co-op bank from 2010 until June last year when he stepped down after the full extent of the bank's financial troubles became apparent.
After allegations of his drug use emerged in the media last year, the Co-op confirmed it was seeking to recover contractual payments totalling £31,000 made to Flowers amid reports that he was also the subject of an inquiry into "lavish" expense claims.
Text messages obtained by the Mail on Sunday suggested Flowers was buying and taking drugs in the days surrounding his disastrous testimony to the Treasury committee on 6 November, when he was asked by MPs how his bank had managed to lose £700m in six months.
One of the messages read "Have 2 bags of Charlie here and have ordered another 5....enough? Px"
Another read: "This ket is superb! Hot lots of it too – when do you want some?"
The night before he was due to present his crucial testimony to MPs, he texted a friend: "Am in London tomorrow for my appearance before the Treasury Committee and won't be back til after Midnight. Do you like ket?"
Following the exposé, it emerged Flowers had a chequered past, leaving a number of organisations under a cloud. He resigned as a Labour councillor in Bradford in 2011 after "inappropriate but not illegal adult content" was found on his computer, and resigned as a trustee of Lifeline in 2004 after an investigation into his expenses. In 1990, he was convicted of drink-driving. A Methodist church disciplinary hearing was held, but he was allowed to continue his role in the ministry.
Does the Co-op debacle show the age of the amateur is over?

Vacancy for new Chair of Local Governing Board
As many of you will already know, this year will see us becoming an academy and joining with other local schools as part of PEAK Multi-Academy Trust. As a result of this change, some of our Governors will be moving into Academy Board Trustee roles and will eventually be relinquishing their roles on our Local Governing Board. Our current Chair of Governors, Mr Brad Ames, once formally in his new role as a Trustee, must step down as Chair. It therefore leaves us with an opportunity to recruit a new Chair of Governors who will transition into the role with the support of Brad and the existing Governors. The new Chair of Governors will lead us, along with the School Leadership Team (SLT) through our academisation, our first steps as a new multi-academy trust and be involved in establishing the important role of the Local Governing Boards as part of the PEAK Multi-Academy Trust. We are therefore seeking a Chair who has the capacity to be committed to working alongside the SLT in taking us on the next stages of our school's journey. A role description is available here. Mr Ames, or our Vice Chair, Emma Baker are also happy to answer any questions should you be interested in this exciting opportunity; they can be contacted via the school office or email Brad, b.ames@chellastoni.derby.sch.uk or Emma, e.baker@chellastoni.derby.sch.uk .

Florida opts to give unemployed an extra $300 a week through federal program
Tim Turner
News Service of Florida
TALLAHASSEE --- Florida plans to take part in a program that President Donald Trump announced this month to boost unemployment benefits for people who have lost jobs during the coronavirus pandemic, Gov. Ron DeSantis said Wednesday.
Floridians who are already eligible for at least $100 a week in state assistance and are out of work because of the pandemic will be eligible for $300 a week in federal aid, according to the governor's office.
DeSantis, who has been criticized for not quickly seeking the federal money offered by Trump on Aug. 8 or enacting other measures to bolster state jobless benefits, said Wednesday he wanted to make sure the state and federal governments were "on the same page."
"We've been working through that," DeSantis said during an event at Universal Studios in Orlando. "We actually do have an application. It's being sent today. I spoke with the secretary of labor. I think it will be favorably approved."
July unemployment:Florida's unemployment rate up to 11.3% in July; jobless ranks grow by 122K people
Federal unemployment ends:As federal unemployment benefits end, Pensacola nonprofits brace for spike in need
Funding may still take weeks to reach out-of-work Floridians. Only three states --- Arizona, Texas and Louisiana --- have started distributing the federal benefits.
Most states aren't expected to begin drawing the money until the end of September.
Florida, with a July unemployment rate of 11.3 percent, representing 1.125 million jobless people, will make the new federal payments retroactive to Aug. 1, according to the governor's office.
Trump announced the program after a program that provided $600 a week in federal unemployment benefits expired in July. That amount, approved in a stimulus plan in the spring, came on top of state jobless benefits.
Congressional leaders and the Trump administration could not reach agreement on extending or revamping the $600-a-week assistance, ultimately leading to Trump announcing his own plan.
An executive memo issued by Trump provided a short-term shift in Federal Emergency Management Agency money to pay for the unemployment benefits. The program requires a 25 percent contribution from each participating state.
The requirement of a state contribution raised questions about how Florida could fund its share if it chose to participate. The information released Wednesday by the governor's office indicates the state is relying for its contribution on payments of up to $100 a week it makes to jobless people.

Florida provides up to $275 a week in state benefits that last for 12 weeks, a period that ended long ago for many people who started getting assistance early in the pandemic.
Still, the U.S. Department of Labor estimated that Florida drew 66,322 new unemployment claims during the week that ended Aug. 15, up 4,738 from the prior week.
Since mid-March, the state has distributed nearly $14.3 billion to 1.9 million unemployment applicants, with more than $11 billion coming from the federal government.
The Florida Department of Economic Opportunity since the start of August has been advised by companies of more than 7,000 current or pending layoffs, including 85 at Canaveral Port Authority, 290 by Sky Chefs in Miami, 601 at Orlando World Center Marriott and more than 2,500 coming in mid-October from HSMHost restaurants and concessions at airports in West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, Miami, Jacksonville, Fort Myers, Sarasota and Tampa.

Discovering cocktails with a story to tell at the Savoy
by Leanne KelsallPublished 31 March 2016 at 08:53
Leanne Kelsall samples the new London Menu at the Savoy's world-famous American Bar
The American Bar at the long-standing Savoy certainly has a tale to tell. This century-old cocktail spot is one of the most iconic in the world – with the likes of Oscar Wilde and Frank Sinatra regularly seen sipping on a short or two way back when.
American Bar is also the birthplace of the renowned Savoy Cocktail Book, known today as 'the bartender's bible'. This liquor-loving handbook was written by famed bartender Harry Craddock. When prohibition hit America during the 20s and 30s, Craddock jumped ship to Blighty where he became a legend in his own right, steering American Bar to great success.
One hundred years later and the bartenders at the Savoy are still some of the best in the business, with Erik Lorincz at the realm. He's a chap who certainly knows a thing or two about cocktails, with the title of 'Best International Bartender' under his belt.
Although impressive, we weren't attending the American Bar to admire its legacy of legendary bartenders. We were there to put the newly launched London Menu through its paces. Little did we know that, with six sublime sections to choose from, we couldn't possibly get through it all.
Meticulously crafted over several months by Erik and his team, the new cocktail menu brings together contemporary creations and Craddock classics. The illustrated London Menu could be more likened to a children's book than a cocktail list, with its hand-drawn illustrations and a wonderfully written narrative for each tipple.
The unique menu is split into six sections – with each section representing one of six boroughs surrounding the Savoy. From Westminster and the City, to Hackney, Tower Hamlets and Islington to Camden. Our favourites came in the form of the Policeman's Hook (£25) from Westminster, and the Olympia (£20) from Tower Hamlets.
Described as a definite must-try by our charming tie-and-jacketed host, the Policeman's Hook was unlike anything we'd ever tasted. Similar in strength to an Old Fashioned, this full-bodied beverage includes Haig Club grain whisky, Amontillado sherry, barley syrup and Angostura bitters, with a toasted edible kombu topping. It certainly looked intriguing as it arrived in an oriental cup with artificial lawn. There's an intriguing story behind the drink too, involving a hook on Great Newport Street. But we'll let you discover the hook's history for yourself.
The sweet, floral flavours of The Olympia are inspired by the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, as the menu explained. This long and indulgent cocktail includes refined Beluga Noble Vodka, Roots Mastiha, lemon juice and pink grapefruit juice, before being finished with greek syrup and egg white. A topping of edible flowers and fresh herbs added a unique aroma on every sip.
The London Menu also includes a fine vintage section, with cocktails ranging from £100 to £5,000.
Commenting on the new menu, American Bar Manager Declan McGurk says: "Essentially when coming up with the concept, we wanted to do a menu that very much celebrated London as a city. In doing so we felt it would fit perfectly with the American Bar's tradition of storytelling through cocktails."
We'll certainly be returning for another evening of storytelling at the Savoy soon.
American Bar – Where and How?
American Bar is located at the Savoy Hotel, Strand, London WC2R 0EU, United Kingdom. American Bar operates a no reservations policy.
