From The Batman and John Wick: Chapter 4 to Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Space Jam, and Mission: Impossible 7, we look ahead at the biggest movies coming in 2021.
by RT Staff | January 8, 2020 | Comments
One year into the new decade, the movie prospects keep getting better. The releases slated for 2021 are so exciting they'll make you salivate with anticipation, and we can't wait to see them. For starters we'll be getting another Asian blockbuster in director Destin Daniel Cretton's Marvel entry, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. Then the Fast Family will be back for another action-packed installment of the Fast and the Furious franchise (can you believe we're at 9 movies already?!) Not to mention, the Rock's much delayed Black Adam adaptation will finally zoom into theaters. And to top it all off, we'll finally, finally, finally get the next chapter of the Avatar story from James Cameron after over a decade of patience. We'll also be getting monumental sequels for Space Jam, Sherlock Holmes, and Tomb Raider. The list is long and it'll probably get longer, so start marking your calendars now.

Directed by: Ridley Scott
Starring: Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Adam Driver, Jodie Comer
Opening on: January 8, 2021
It's been two years since Ridley Scott did the unthinkable and reshot All The Money In The World weeks before its release date. But this time around, he'll be racing against history with this Edwardian tale of knights and maidens. Ben Affleck and Matt Damon will reunite, with Killing Eve's breakout star Jodie Comer filling out the cast.
Directed by: Simon McQuoid
Starring: Joe Taslim, Ludi Lin, Mechad Brooks, Lewis Tan, Elissa Cadwell, Ng Chin Han, Max Huang, Josh Lawson, Jessica McNamee, Hiroyuki Sanada, Sisi Stringer
Opening on: January 15, 2021
If you've been waiting for the inevitable Mortal Kombat reboot, 2021 has got you covered. With Lewis Tan, Mechad Brooks, and Joe Taslim attached to star, the newest franchise installment is bound to be everything you could want in a fantasy martial arts action film. James Wan will be producing, so there's bound to be some of the magic that made the Saw franchise so successful.
Directed by: Simon Kinberg
Starring: Jessica Chastain, Fan Bingbing, Penélope Cruz, Lupita Nyong'o, Edgar Ramirez, Sebastian Stan, Diane Kruger, Emilio Insolera
Opening on: January 15, 20210
If you're still missing NBC's Smash, then you're in luck. This new spy flick from screenwriter Theresa Rebeck might be just up your alley. Produced by Jessica Chastain and with a star-studded cast that includes Fan Bingbing and Lupita N'yongo, the female-led thriller is bound to make a splash.
Rugrats (2021)
Directed by: David Bowers
Starring: TBD
Tommy, Chucky and the rest of the gang are back! Details are scarce, with David Bowers at the helm as director, this new live-action remake for the classic Nickelodeon cartoon is bound to be a nostalgia-inducing box office hit.
Directed by: Kay Cannon
Starring: Camila Cabello, Billy Porter, Idina Menzel
Opening on: February 5, 2021
If there's anyone who can do justice to Whitney Houston's turn as the Fairy Godmother, it's none other than Broadway legend and Pose star Billy Porter. Sure, we might not need another Cinderella story, but what could be better than vocal legends like Idina Menzel and newcomers like Camila Cabello bringing a classic story to life?
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)
Directed by: Destin Daniel Cretton
Starring: Simu Liu, Tony Leung, Awkwafina
Opening on: February 12, 2021
After bringing the true story of Bryan Stevenson to screen in this year's Just Mercy, Destin Daniel Cretton will be joining the big leagues for his next project. Shang-Chi will be the Marvel Cinematic Universe's first Asian-led film. Kim's Conveince's Simu Liu is set to star, and The Farewell's Awkwafina has also been cast in an unknown role.
Ron's Gone Wrong (2020)
Directed by: Alessandro Carloni, Jean-Philippe Vine
Starring: Thomas Barbusca, Bentley Kalu
Originally slated for a late 2020 release, Ron's Gone Wrong was pushed back a few months after 20th Century Fox was acquired by Disney. The animated adventure is set in a world where every child's best friend is a digitally connected robot and follows one young boy who discovers his own robot pal doesn't quite work the way it should.
Untitled M Night Shyamalan Project
Directed by: M. Night Shyamalan
As usual, M. Night Shyamalan's newest project is shrouded in mystery, but it's sure to be worth the wait. This untitled project is the first of two the horror auteur is slated to direct for Universal in the coming years, and we can't wait to see what he comes up with.
Masters of the Universe (2021)
Directed by: Adam and Aaron Nee
Opening on: March 5, 2021
The She-Ra reboot has been doing well over at Netflix, so it's only natural that He-Man would follow. After the 1987 cult film flopped at the box office, it's prime time for a reboot that brings all that campy goodness to screen. No cast has been announced, but anyone who follows in Dolph Lundgren's shoes would be lucky.
Directed by: TBD
We don't yet know who from the original Jackass gang might show up in this next installment, though both Johnny Knoxville and Steve-O have expressed in doing more outrageous stunts and pranks on the big screen. All we know is that Paramount has officially announced a release date for March 5, 2021, so we'll just have to wait and see who jumps on board.
Untitled Paranormal Activity Movie
Opening on: March 19, 2021
There are very few details on the seventh installment in the noted horror franchise. But after three Rotten films in a row, the series is primed for a big critical comeback. Jason Blum will produce for a late March release.
Directed by: Ben Wheatley
Starring: Alicia Vikander
Oscar-winner Alicia Vikander is back to reprise her role as the action heroine Lara Croft in the sequel to her 2018 film. No other cast has been announced yet, but Ben Wheatley will direct a script from Amy Jump.
The Boss Baby 2 (2021)
Directed by: Tom McGrath
The Boss Baby might be Rotten, but its monster box office take shows the audience is hungry for more. Fans of Alec Baldwin's fast talking baby in business will be pleased to know he'll be back to reprise his role in 2021. Tom McGrath will return to direct.

Fast & Furious 10 (2021)
Directed by: Justin Lin
Starring: Vin Diesel, Jordana Brewster
Opening on: April 2, 2021
Fast and Furious means one thing: family. And in 2021, the Fast Family will be back for the tenth installment in Universal's biggest franchise. After a brief detour with Hobbs and Shaw in 2019 and Fast & Furious 9 slated for 2020, the gang will be back on our screens, pulling heists and drinking Coronas. We can't wait!
Vivo (2021)
Directed by: Kirk DeMicco
Opening on: April 16, 2021
Hot on the heels of the Oscar-nominated Moana and 2020's In The Heights movie adaptation, Broadway legend Lin-Manuel Miranda will return to his musical roots with a new animated musical from Sony. Kirk DeMicco will direct, but no other cast has been announced yet.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2021)
Directed by: Scott Derrickson

John Wick: Chapter 4 (2021)
Starring: Keanu Reeves
Opening on: May 21, 2021
Keanu Reeves has been having a cultural moment the past few years, thanks in no small part to the incredible John Wick franchise. In 2021 he'll be back for number four to continue the story.
Directed by: Lana Wachowski
Starring: Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Jessica Henwick, Neil Patrick Harris, Jonathan Groff
And, of course, if John Wick: Chapter 4 doesn't give you all the Keanu you need, you can always pair it with this movie, which opens on the same day. We don't know much else about the movie at this point, but we do know that Carrie-Anne Moss will return as Trinity, and the cast will be rounded out by people like Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Neil Patrick Harris, Jessica Henwick, and Jonathan Groff. Lana Wachowski will also return to direct, though Lilly Wachowski will be unavailable due to other commitments.
Cruella (2021)
Directed by: Alex Timbers and Craig Gillespie
Starring: Emma Stone, Joel Fry, Kirby Howell-Baptiste, Paul Walter Hauser, Emma Thompson
Emma Stone will star in Disney's latest live-action remake of an old classic. In the vein of Maleficient, Cruella will focus on the enigmatic villain of 101 Dalmatians in her youth and show how she became obsessed with Dalmatian fur. With Emma Thompson and Mark Strong rounding out the cast, it's bound to be worth the wait.
Sesame Street (2021)
Directed by: Jonathan Krisel
Starring: Anne Hathaway
Opening on: June 4, 2021
Who doesn't know the way to Sesame Street? Details are scarce but the new live action film is bound to feature all the favourite characters you remember. And with Anne Hathaway attached to star, it's bound to be delightful.

The long-awaited Micronauts film will finally touch down in 2021. No cast has been announced, but How to Train Your Dragon director Dean de Blois is attached to direct. Based on the action figures by Mego, the film will also be produced by J.J. Abrams.
Jurassic World 3 (2021)
Directed by: Colin Trevorrow
Starring: Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Laura Dern, Sam Neill, Jeff Goldblum

The stars are back for another tangle with the dinosaurs in the third installment of this rebooted franchise. Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard will return alongside franchise favorites Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum for a summer release.
The Batman (2021)
Directed by: Matt Reeves
Starring: Robert Pattinson, Zoe Kravitz, Jeffrey, Wright, Paul Dano, Andy Serkis, Jayme Lawson
It hasn't been long since Batman was last onscreen, but Batfleck is stepping down as the caped crusader and serving as producer instead for the new movie from Matt Reeves. With an unconventional cast that includes everyone's favorite arthouse vampire Robert Pattinson in the title role, it's bound to be worth another look at Bruce Wayne's origin story.

Sing 2 (2021)
Starring: Matthew McConaughey, Selena Gomez, Shawn Mendes, John C. Reilly, Idina Menzel, Resse Witherspoon, Nick Kroll, Scarlett Johansson
Opening on: July 2, 2021
Originally slated for Christmas 2020, Universal's Sing 2 will release summer 2021 instead. The animated feature about a koala talent agent will see most of the principal cast return, with the addition of Idina Menzel and Selena Gomez. Chances are it'll be another big family-friendly hit.
Indiana Jones 5 (2021)
Directed by: Steven Spielberg
Starring: Harrison Ford
Indiana Jones is back again in this second reboot to the classic action film series. Harrison Ford is attached to reprise his role, and Steven Spielberg will direct. With a wealth of history to draw from and 13 years since the last film, it'll be exciting to see how the story returns for a brand new audience.
Space Jam 2 (2021)
Directed by: Malcolm D. Lee
Starring: LeBron James, Don Cheadle
Opening on: July 16, 2021
Speaking of old stories for new audiences, LeBron James' long-awaited Space Jam sequel will finally arrive in 2021. With Don Cheadle starring alongside the basketball legend and Ryan Coogler producing, there's no telling how much fun the Malcolm D. Lee-directed follow-up will be.
Spider-Man: Homecoming 3
Starring: Tom Holland
After a tense stalemate between Sony and Disney, Spider-Man will be back for a third installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. With the intense cliffhanger of the last film's ending, we can't wait to see what's next for the friendly neighborhood hero!
Mission: Impossible 7 (2021)
Directed by: Christopher McQuarrie
Starring: Tom Cruise
Tom Cruise will be back in action for the seventh installment in the franchise that showcased his willingness to engage in death-defying stunts. Christopher McQuarrie will also be back as writer and director after serving those roles in the last two films. Hopefully he'll be able to pull off a hat trick with a third Certified Fresh film in a row.
The Suicide Squad (2021)
Directed by: James Gunn
Starring: Jared Leto, Margot Robbie, Viola Davis, Joel Kinnaman, Jai Courtney
Opening on: August 6, 2021
2016's Suicide Squad may be rotten, but the 2021 follow-up might just redeem the series. Most of the primary cast is returning, with Idris Elba joining in a new role. The star-studded cast is also adding Storm Reid, Flula Borg, Nathan Fillion and Pete Davidson. James Gunn is attached to direct before he returns to Disney for Guardians of the Galaxy 3.

Untitled Elvis Film
Directed by: Baz Luhrmann
Starring: Austin Butler, Tom Hanks
Opening on: October 1, 2021
Austin Butler beat out tons of hopefuls to win the role of the famed King of Rock and Roll for this biopic from Warner Brothers. With Baz Lurhmann on board to write and direct, it's bound to be a lush cinematic experience. Tom Hanks is also attached in a supporting role.
Directed by: David Gordon Green
Starring: Jamie Lee Curtis, Judy Greer, Andi Matichak
Opening on: October 15, 2021
The original scream queen is back for the rumored final installment in the iconic Halloween franchise. After the success of the reboot-quel in 2018, a second film is slated for 2020, leading to the final showdown in 2021. Jamie Lee Curtis and Judy Greer are attached to star once again.
Thor: Love and Thunder (2021)
Starring: Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tessa Thompson
Opening on: November 5, 2021
After delivering on the Certified Fresh Thor: Ragnarok, Takia Waititi will be back for Thor: Love and Thunder in 2021. With the fate of our titular hero a little unclear after Avengers: Endgame, it'll be great to see what he's up to. And best of all, Natalie Portman will be back to reprise her role as Jane Foster, who, if 2019's Comic-Con was any indication, will wield Mjolnir herself. It's a family reunion!
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 3 (2020)
Directed by: David Yates
Starring: Eddie Redmayne, Jude Law, Johnny Depp, Ezra Miller, Alison Sudol, Dan Fogler, Katherine Waterston
Opening on: November 12, 2021
The second Fantastic Beasts film didn't manage to find its audience, but with a world as big as the Harry Potter universe, there's bound to be something to draw them back in. J.K. Rowling is back as the screenwriter in this original franchise and Eddie Redmayne will reprise his role as the enigmatic Newt Scamander.
Dungeons & Dragons (2021)
Directed by: Rob Letterman
The original film adaptation of Dungeons & Dragons might be Rotten, but the 2021 reboot is set to redeem the franchise based on the beloved role-playing game of the same name. There are no cast details yet, but noted D&D superfan Joe Manganiello was rumored to be attached as recently as 2019.
Avatar 2 (2021)
Directed by: James Cameron
Starring: Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, CCH Pounder, Stephen Lang, Sigourney Weaver, Giovanni Ribisi, Kate Winslet, Joel David Moore
Opening on: December 17, 2021
What have the Na'vi been up to for the last decade? Believe it or not, that's how long it's been since the original Avatar film barreled into cinemas and changed the industry forever. In 2021, we'll finally get a sequel, and three more films in the franchise are already in the pipeline. It's a long wait, but it'll be worth it for a follow up to the Certified Fresh sci-fi epic.
Hotel Transylvania 4 (2021)
Starring: Adam Sandler
Adam Sandler might be busy raking in critical raves for Uncut Gems (Certified Fresh at 92%), but families will be happy to hear that he'll be back for another go as Dracula in Hotel Transylvania 4, just in time for a Christmas release.
Starring: Dwayne Johnson
Dwayne Johnson has been attached to star in Black Adam since at least as early as 2014, but in 2021 he'll finally hit the big screen and officially join the DCEU as the all-powerful antihero. As the nemesis to Zachary Levi's Shazam, there's definitely an onscreen crossover to look forward to in the future as well. It's high time Dwayne Johnson got to play the superhero we all know him to be!
Starring: Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law, Rachel McAdams
With Robert Downey Jr. free from the MCU, it's finally time for the long awaited Sherlock Holmes sequel. By 2021, it'll have been a decade since RDJ and Jude Law last brought their mischievous friendship to Victorian England. Rachel McAdams is back as Irene Adler, with a script from Chris Brancato, best known for his work in television on Hannibal and Narcos.
Wicked (2021)
Directed by: Stephen Daldry
It feels like fans of the musical have been waiting forever for a screen adaption of Wicked, and in 2021, they'll finally get their wish. No cast details have been announced yet, but with a legacy like Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth to live up to, the lucky ladies who get the gig will have enormous shoes to fill. Here's to Lea Michele!
Directed by: Damien Chazelle
Starring: Emma Stone (in talks), Brad Pitt (in talks)
Writer-director Damien Chazelle's fifth film is, like his Oscar-winning La La Land, another tribute to old Hollywood, this time literally. The story centers on the period of transition when the silent film era began to give way to the "talkies," and both Emma Stone and Brad Pitt have entered talks to star in the film. Judging from its release date and the announced plans to expand into wide release early the following year, this certainly feels like it's being set up to be an awards contender.
Blazing Samurai (2018)
Directed by: Chris Bailey, Mark Koetsier
Starring: Samuel L. Jackson, Michael Cera, Michelle Yeoh, George Takei, Gabriel Iglesias, Djimon Honsou
Opening on: 2021
Originally slated for release in 2017, the star-studded animated feature will finally see the light of day in 2021. Inspired by Mel Brooks' classic western Blazing Saddles, the cast includes Michael Cera, Samuel L. Jackson and Ricky Gervais.
The Power of the Dog
Directed by: Jane Campion
Starring: Benedict Cumberbatch, Kirsten Dunst, Paul Dano
In her follow up to Top of the Lake: China Girl, Jane Campion will reunite with Elisabeth Moss for Netflix's The Power of The Dog, based on the 1967 novel of the same name. Also starring Benedict Cumberbatch, the film centers on two brothers on a ranch whose relationship shifts when one falls in love with a local widow.
Directed by: Guillermo del Toro, Mark Gustafson
This has been one of Guillermo del Toro's long-in-development passion projects, and it will also be his first foray into animation. The stop motion-animated adaptation of the classic tale will reportedly be a tad darker than we may be accustomed to, with del Toro calling it a "brutalist fable." Like The Power of the Dog, this was picked up by Netflix and given a 2021 release date; whether or not the streaming giant will put it in theaters remains to be seen.

Digital money still the future, insists Newry's millionaire crypto … – Belfast Telegraph
A cryptocurrency expert from Co Down has said it's still an "exciting time" for the industry despite it being plagued by controversies in 2022.
ewry man Johnny McCamley (24) is CEO of Lightening Exchange, a crypto-currency management company.
Cryptocurrency, or 'crypto', is the term used for a collection of different kinds of digital funds operated through a computer system.
He specialises in Bitcoin, a digital payment network set up in 2009, and claims to have made millions through his investments in it and NFTs (non-fungible tokens, i.e virtual pieces of art).
He is a member of the Bored Ape Yacht Club, an exclusive group that counts celebrities such as Madonna, Snoop Dogg, Justin Bieber and Eminem among its number.
It's only open to those who purchase a specific NFT of a cartoon gorilla for around $500,000.
"I first got into crypto in 2015 after my cousin, who was investing, introduced me to it," he explained.
"It was actually around Christmas, he told me about an ATM in Belfast which allowed people to invest in Bitcoin.
"At first I just thought it was all nuts, just 'internet money'.
"But I ended up buying some, and I kind of got hooked, buying more and more because it kept going up."
It was a habit that led to a career and he now runs multiple crypto investment companies across the world.
He insists it's still an exciting time for anyone interested in the industry, even though it doesn't have the best of reputations at the minute.
The price of Bitcoin dropped below $16,000 in November, a year after reaching a record high of $69,000. It's currently worth just over $13,500.
As a result of the crash, Reuters described 2022 as "the year Bitcoin broke".
Also in November, billionaire crypto guru Sam Bankman-Fried joined other controversial tech figures such as Elizabeth Holmes, founder of fraudulent medical company Theranos, and WeWork's Adam Neumann, in a dramatic fall from grace.
His wealth, estimated at around $10bn, disappeared amid accusations of mismanagement at his company, FTX.
He is currently facing extradition to the US from the Bahamas on criminal charges.
McCamley said: "This is just history repeating itself.
"It's happened before with other companies. FTX won't be the last for this to happen to.
"It's like anything. Crypto goes in peaks.
"It's very sad to read about all the people that have lost their money, though. People get into crypto because it can help them out."
But alluding to a common belief that if the market falls, tech advances are made to improve it, which will eventually add value to virtual currency, he added: "The money is made when the markets are made — when things are down in the dumps. It's an exciting time."
While he accepts the world of crypto is always going to be seen as something "which is not in front of people", he compares criticism of the industry to similar scepticism of the internet when it first launched.
He said: "No one can imagine their life without the internet now.
"But it's the exact same with crypto.
"We'll be sending money in the future this way."

You know Heathcliff? Catherine's jilted lover. Wuthering Heights. He left an impression, rather a scar on me. Every woman has a Heathcliff. Her Heathcliff.
A man who loves her, and loves her like no other man ever could. No I am not talking mundane love here, the one that comes and goes, shows a symptom or two of attraction and then leaves the victim distraught, but only for a while. Just a while, and before time could even blink we move on. It's true, even those of us who have witnessed the most maddening bouts of compelling passion would agree, life is above it all. But not for Heathcliff.
He destroyed himself, and everyone around him, in the process of wanting Catherine. Ironically, he was responsible for Catherine's end too. What kind of love was that which destroyed the object of affection itself? Wasn't the motive lost in madness. In specimens like Heathcliff, love tends to insanity.
And every woman has her Heathcliff. A man that needs to be done away with. Seriously. Every moment you let him be, he would take a step further towards self destruction. Every moment you let him be, he would become the Heathcliff I fear he would become one day. So dear woman, make yourself as worthy of his hatred as you can, kick him in his heart. And be not guilty of it, you're only saving him.
Be guilty only if he becomes a Heathcliff. But die of shame if he becomes an artist in your love.
wasn't Cathy at fault too?
Or is it that some women invite a lot of heathcliffs?
And some men can become only heathcliff!
why make it gender specific? every guy has had a feminine version of heathcliff too!!
The last line, it brightened up my face. Yes, I am laughing, and am laughing at that line.
This is what ran through my mind.
Perhaps, she wouldn't want to know how he turned her into a creation of beauty that she couldn't fathom, or live by it?
Was it a serious article? Am sorry I couldn't do justice to it.
Yeah, obviously she was. She co-conspired the whole thing!
On a deeper thought, yeah. All three are statements are more than just right.
what i meant to say was. it needs a Catherine for a Heathcliff and vice-versa.they r not too different.
Oh, that ways! :) May be I was trying to write about my Heathcliff and I just couldn't see myself as Cathy. I don't know what it is, may be it is age, may be the solitude, something is sure making my biases stronger. Though I have this promise that I would choose death over hypocrisy.
Cathy is a character that is very raw; the hypocrisy and the lack of judgement, the madness, the passion. she looks more real to me than any of the other "heroines" here are.
but then some people are scum.
it takes a lot of strength to make the "right" choice. kudos!
Sometimes I feel that my Heathcliff is the One. And that is exactly when I get scared of life! I do not deserve the kudos, I have no idea what choice to make.
like i said there is always a Heathliff if there is a Catherine.
yes, Heathcliff is the one for a Catherine because he becomes the ref point, nothing and no one lives up to him. there is always something or the other that is absent, and the worst part is whenever u are in need he is always standing there waiting to help you.
there is just no way out.
unless like you said, that you can kick him hard.
and if you are able to, then you actually arn't a Catherine and/or he is not the Heathcliff.
or maybe you belong to the Jane Austen world!
I kicked hard.. real hard.. but it pains me.. Everytime i look into his eyes it reminds me of the pain i caused to him..
I adore your adoration for both Catherine & Heathcliff. May be the entire point of me writing this post now stands disproved.
Well in this case, let's hope that time and distance will cure this Heathcliff of yours.
And whats more excruciating is the fact that more Cathy's have transcended the pages of the book than the number of Healthcliffs.
I love to see you speak :) Kindly do not think about stopping!
Its our own fault that some jackass thought that reading the Bronte sisters is somehow sissy and the rest followed suit.

O Marxists Internet Archive (MIA, também conhecido como marxists.org, em português: Arquivo Marxista na Internet) é um site sem fins lucrativos que hospeda uma biblioteca multilíngue (criada em 1990) das obras de escritores marxistas, comunistas, socialistas e anarquistas, como Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, Vladimir Lenin, Leon Trótski, Rosa Luxemburgo, Che Guevara, Mikhail Bakunin e Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, assim como de escritores de ideologias afins, e mesmo não relacionadas (por exemplo, Sun Tzu e Adam Smith). A coleção é mantida por voluntários, e é baseada em uma coleção de documentos que foram distribuídos por e-mail e grupos de notícias, posteriormente reunidos em um único site gopher em 1993. Contém cerca de 180 mil documentos de mais de 850 autores em 80 idiomas.

História

Origens
O arquivo foi criado em 1990 por uma pessoa — conhecida apenas por sua tag de Internet, Zodiac — que começou a arquivar textos marxistas transcrevendo as obras de Marx e Engels em e-texto, começando com o Manifesto Comunista. Em 1993 o texto acumulado foi postado em um site gopher no csf.colorado.edu. Os voluntários se juntaram e ajudaram a divulgar e espelhar o arquivo principal. Entretanto, o site principal e seus espelhos foram hospedados em servidores acadêmicos e no final de 1995 quase todos haviam sido fechados.

Em 1996, o site, Marx.org, passou a ser hospedado por um ISP comercial, devido ao aumento de atividade pelos voluntários. Mas, nos anos seguintes, começaram a surgir tensões entre os voluntários e Zodiac, que controlava o servidor e o nome do domínio. Por causa da ampliação do escopo do arquivo, Zodiac temia que as vertentes diversas do marxismo levariam a um "terreno escorregadio" em direção ao sectarismo. Já os voluntários que transcreviam os textos ressentiam ter pouca influência sobre a organização e as tomadas de decisão do arquivo. No começo de 1998, Zodiac decidiu que o Marx.org retornaria às suas origens, e todos os escritores que não fossem Marx e Engels seriam removidos.

Em julho de 1998, os voluntários criaram o modelo atual do site (marxists.org) ao transferir os arquivos do domínio antigo. Isso fez com que houvesse um aumento da atividade e do escopo do projeto. O Marx.org foi fechado pelo Zodiac em 1999, e em 2002 ele cedeu o domínio, que foi comprado pelo MIA. O MIA pode ser acessado por outros dois domínios, o lenin.org e trotsky.org.

O site e o grupo de voluntários mudaram drasticamente desde o início do projeto. Em 2014, havia 62 voluntários vindos de 33 países diferentes, com o projeto abrangendo mais de 50 mil itens em 54 línguas, sobre mais de 600 autores. Hoje, o projeto é reconhecido por ser um repositório de pensadores marxistas e não-marxistas. O site está listado no catálogo da OCLC WorldCat e foi selecionado para arquivamento por instituições como a Biblioteca Britânica, na University College Cork e na Biblioteca do Congresso dos Estados Unidos.

Ataques de 2007
Como em muitos sites de internet politicamente orientados, a MIA tem tido problemas com ataques maliciosos de fontes online. A partir de novembro de 2006, a MIA enfrentou uma série de sérios ataques de negação de serviço, tentando explorar uma má configuração no sistema operacional do seu servidor. Em janeiro de 2007, os ataques tinham aleijado grande parte do arquivo e deixado voluntários com problemas de CPU. O fato de a maioria dos sistemas envolvidos no ataque estarem na China ou pertencentes a instituições chinesas levou à especulação de que os ataques poderiam ter sido politicamente motivados e dirigidos pela República Popular da China. A gravidade do ataque, com outros problemas de hospedagem, levou ao fechamento do servidor principal do Marxists Internet Archive e de vários de seus espelhos durante várias semanas em fevereiro e março de 2007. O problema foi resolvido.

Problemas de direitos autorais com a Coleção Marx/Engels
No final de abril de 2014, a pequena publicadora inglesa Lawrence & Wishart decidiu revogar a permissão para publicar a Coleção Marx/Engels em inglês, que havia trechos transcritos no MIA. A L&W pediu por e-mail que a MIA deletasse o material contestado até o fim de abril, senão sofreriam litigação. A MIA escolheu deletar o material, e foi feita uma petição contra a decisão da L&W que juntou mais de 4,5 mil assinaturas até o fim daquele mês. O autor da petição, Ammar Aziz, disse: "Vocês não podem privatizar seus escritos—eles são a propriedade coletiva das pessoas para quem eles estavam escrevendo. Privatizar os escritos de Marx e Engels é como criar uma marca registrada das palavras 'socialismo' ou 'comunismo'."

O representande da MIA, Andy Blunden, não contestou a detenção de direitos autorais pela L&W. Ele disse que "os professores e historiadores serão capazes de escrever artigos sobre o que Marx disse, mas a população em geral estará presa em 1975", o ano em que a publicação da Coleção começou.

Em resposta ao criticismo, a L&W publicaram nota afirmando que estavam sendo alvos de "uma campanha de abuso online".

At the movies with Brian Aragon
An evening to celebrate Brian Aragon!
On Winterclash Friday we are going to look back and honor Brian Aragons career and his achievements for blading. We are going to show 10 of his most outstanding video parts at the Blue Collar Theatre – and in-between Brian will be talking about the making of, the joy and the drama behind the tricks.
Friday, Feb 14th, 10:30 p.m. / Blue Collar Hotel (Theatre)
Join the Fb Event: www.facebook.com/events/830581047382946
Tickets: 4€ – available at the entrance of Areafithyone Skatepark from Friday (14.02.) morning. First come, first served.
Brian Aragon changed blading forever and his riding is still inspiring young and old riders of all generations today. Very few people had the abilities to go as big as he did, in combination with the most technical tricks, performed in his unique, unmatched and yet often copied style. His video parts from over ten, fifteen years ago are still on top of the game today and are proof to the fact that very few people on this planet have been as influential for blading and our culture as a whole.
Let's celebrate, let's watch some of the best blading in history and let's meet at the bar.

The More Than My Numbers Campaign Encourages Women To Share Their Bra Sizes Without Shame
By Marlen Komar
If you've ever felt a bit self-conscious choosing a bra because you were worried what the band and cup sizes would be, bra expert Kimmay Caldwell is here to help. Caldwell's More Than My Numbers campaign is a series of body positive and educational videos of women sharing their bra sizes — no shame, judgment, or negative self-talk included. The goal of the campaign is to show women that sizes don't define them — no matter how big, small, or anywhere in between.
Caldwell has worked everywhere from small boutiques in SoHo, to Bergdorf Goodman at the La Perla lingerie boutique. While working in changing rooms, she realized just how harmful women turn when looking at their reflections. "In my own journey, being a bra fitter helped me realize how mean I was being to my body, and just how mean pretty much every woman that came into the fitting room was being to her body, too. The things that they'd say in the mirror were unkind, and unhelpful," Caldwell tells Bustle.
Most of the time, the negative self-talk was about the numbers — the numbers of their bra band sizes, that is. This sparked an idea for Caldwell, to have an honest conversation about those numbers.
"I started the 'More Than My Numbers' campaign because I saw over and over again how women let the number on their bra define them. The fear of what that number and letter would 'mean' about her often stopped a woman from taking her measurements or going in for a bra fitting. That often leads to guessing her bra size, which then leads to pain and discomfort, and ultimately a lot of shame and confusion," Caldwell explains.
Hurray Kimmay on YouTube
She believes that wearing a bra that fits and feels great can help a woman stand tall and have the confidence to accomplish great things. But more importantly, it will also help her understand that her digits are information, not a definition. So how does Caldwell plan to accomplish all of that? By sharing other women's stories.
"For this project, we're starting with women and bra sizes, but it goes so much deeper than that," Caldwell explains. "In fact, in addition to sharing their bra measurements and bra sizes, the women discuss their journey with other numbers like weight, age, number of marriages, and even blood test results! One of the biggest 'hurrays' of not being defined by your numbers is freedom. Freedom to be yourself, to love and respect your body, to break free from the chains of a number defining who you are."
The way she'll do that is to invite a group of women to list their numbers without telling people what they are. This shows that just a bunch of random digits, without context, mean nothing. They don't show the whole picture, and don't really define the person in any way. As Caldwell points out, "Numbers are information, not a definition."
"We live in a social society, and as bold and independent as we like to think we are, we are often influenced by those around us. In our current society, most people keep their numbers to themselves, or only share with those who they can trust with a secret. Keeping your numbers hidden gives them a great deal of mystery and power. But saying them out loud releases such a dangerous hold," Caldwell explains. "In addition, when one person lovingly shares their numbers, it gives others the permission to do so as well."
In addition to the inspiring videos, the 'More Than My Numbers' project is making educational guides, like a bra size starting point guide, bra fit tips, all in the forms of articles, guides, and videos.
Another very exciting point about this campaign is that it embraces everyone — of all sizes, genders, and backgrounds. There is no editing or airbrushing in the videos, and Caldwell hired an all female production team, which supports women in breaking out more in a typically male dominated industries.
Simply put, there's a lot to love here.
If you'd like to support the campaign and help Caldwell get her message out, the project has an Indiegogo you can donate to. Watch the videos and allow yourself to finally shake off the hold your numbers might have over you — after all, they're just numbers, right?

Please report all Barn Owl nests, roost sites, and sightings (dead or alive), anywhere in the UK, on our Barn Owl Survey website. Thanks.
What type of owl is it?
On discovering a dead owl there are two main things you need to try and find out. What species of owl it is, and does it have a small ring on one of its ankles?
What type of ring is it?
British Trust for Ornithology (BTO) ring; a silver-coloured metal ring fitted around the ankle of a wild bird with a unique number inscribed on it and the words 'INFORM BRITISH MUSEUM NAT HIST LONDON, SW7′.
Closed ring; a continuous alloy band fitted around the ankle of a captive bird with individual numbers imprinted on it. Captive owls may also be micro-chipped.
Plastic colour rings; one or more plastic rings of almost any colour fitted around the ankle(s) of both wild and captive birds.
For all wild Barn Owls in the UK, whether ringed or not, please report to the Barn Owl Trust.
For all BTO-ringed wild birds (including Barn Owls) please contact the Natural History Museum in London or the British Trust for Ornithology. Ring recoveries can be reported on-line via Euring.
For birds with closed rings or cable ties, please contact the Independent Bird Register.
Unringed dead owls do need to be species-identified and should be reported to your county record centre; this might be called the biological or biodiversity record centre, or can be found through your county council or your county wildlife trust.
If you think there is anything suspicious about the cause of death of the owl (for example poisoning or avian flu) then it should also be reported to the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA). Please be aware of hygiene if handling dead birds and always wash your hands afterwards. If you are going to preserve the owl for a while and freeze it make sure that it is well wrapped up in carrier bags or sealed in an airtight container.
What information should I report?
The ring number (if any).
Exactly where it was found (a map reference if possible).
If found on a road, the road number (e.g. A38).
What species it is (if you know).
Whether freshly dead or not.
Other relevant information about the bird or the finding circumstances.
What should I do with the carcass?
The Centre for Ecology and Hydrology runs the Predatory Bird Monitoring Scheme (PBMS), which is a long-term national monitoring scheme looking at levels of contaminants in raptor species. To help with their research, they would like to receive any dead birds of prey that are found by the public.
Please telephone the PBMS team on 01524 595830 or email pbms@ceh.ac.uk.
If you find a perfect specimen and you want to have it stuffed you should freeze it in an airtight container to avoid freezer-burn and don't wrap anything around it that may bend the tips of its wing or tail feathers. Birds that have growing feathers (young ones or adults in the period March to October) are generally less suitable for taxidermy. Retain evidence that the owl died by accident, for example, take a picture of the owl where it was found. You must use a taxidermist who has a current licence issued by DEFRA.
What species of owl have I found? Have a look at owl identification.
Read more about Barn Owl life expectancy.

Review: All I See Is You, Octagon Studio
Nowt so queer as gays up north – All I See Is You is an affecting period LGBT romance at the Octagon Theatre in Bolton
"If I never walk again, I don't care"
The Octagon are certainly getting their money's worth out of Ben Occhipinti. In the main house, he's directing East is East and down the stairs in their studio theatre, he is also helming the premiere of Kathrine Smith's All I See Is You. And where the former is looking at mixed race families in Salford in the 70s, this play turns its focus on to the experience of gay men in the 60s.
Those men are Ciarán Griffiths' Bobby and Christian Edwards' Ralph, whose meet-cute takes place in a toilet cubicle and soon turns into a smouldering mix of sexual compatibility and serious potential as they tumble hard for each other. But in a world where homosexuality has yet to be decriminalised, where societal prejudice is so deeply ingrained, it's clear this is a love that will have to be fought for.
And Smith gives us ample reason to fully believe in this love story. The contrast in the pair – Bobby works in Woolworths and likes Dusty Springfield, Ralph's training to be a teacher and prefers classical music – is neatly observed and their different reactions to the challenges of living life together, how 'out' to be, feel as pertinent now as they ever did – the politics of holding hands in public on a dark street in Bolton still relevant today.
There are moments when the writer allows her research to overwhelm the narrative just a little. The rich fabric of local detail is beautifully observed and thus a valuable piece of local LGBT history but dramatically, there's just a little too much cycling through seemingly every bad thing that happened to gay men in this period happening to these two. It threatens to crowd out the delicacy of the romance here, the daring of hope that things might change, the commendable, beautiful performances from both Edwards and Griffiths.
Running time: 70 minutes (without interval)
All I See Is You is booking at the Bolton Octagon Studio until 14th April

Fundamento y objetivo: Validar la versión española del cuestionario Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) para medir la intensidad del dolor de causa neoplásica y su impacto en las actividades de la vida diaria en pacientes con cáncer.
Pacientes y método: Se incluyó consecutivamente a pacientes con dolor de origen neoplásico. Los pacientes cumplimentaron los cuestionarios BPI (Cuestionario Breve del Dolor o CBD en español) y el Rotterdam Symptom Checklist (RSCL) en la visita de inclusión. El CBD se repitió a los 3-5 días en los pacientes clínicamente estables de su dolor de origen neoplásico y ambos cuestionarios se repitieron al mes en los pacientes no estables de su dolor.
Resultados: Se evaluó a 126 pacientes, el 85,1% había sufrido algún episodio de dolor irruptivo en las 24 h previas al inicio del estudio. El 86,5% de los pacientes completó el CBD en su totalidad. Las puntuaciones del CBD se correlacionaron con la percepción del paciente de la intensidad máxima del dolor y con la presencia de tumor diseminado. La dimensión «síntomas psicológicos» del RSCL fue la que presentó mayor correlación con las dimensiones del CBD («intensidad del dolor» e «interferencia en las actividades»). La consistencia interna de las dimensiones fue buena (0,87 y 0,89), y la fiabilidad test-retest entre baja y moderada (0,53 y 0,77). El CBD ha demostrado ser un instrumento capaz de detectar cambios en el nivel de dolor. Los cambios observados en las dos dimensiones del CBD entre las dos visitas de estudio reflejan los cambios percibidos por el propio paciente en la intensidad del dolor.
Conclusiones: La versión española del CBD se mostró válida para medir la intensidad del dolor de causa neoplásica y su impacto en las actividades de la vida diaria, en condiciones de práctica clínica habitual.
Background and objective: Our goal was to validate the Spanish version of the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) questionnaire used to measure the intensity of oncological pain and its impact on activities of daily living in patients with cancer.
Patients and method: Patients with oncological pain were consecutively included in the study. These patients filled up the Spanish version of the BPI questionnaire (CBD) and the Rotterdam Symptom Checklist (RCSL) during the inclusion visit and again after 3-5 days (patients with clinically stable oncological pain) or after one month (patients with unstable oncological pain).
Results: 126 patients were assessed; 85.1% of them had suffered some episode of irruptive pain 24 hours prior to their inclusion in the study. 86.5% of patients fully completed the questionnaire. The CBD showed mild to moderate correlations with the patients perception of pain severity and with the presence of tumor dissemination. The «psychological symptoms» dimension of the RCSL displayed the highest correlation with the dimensions of the BPI («pain intensity» and «interference in activities of daily living»). The internal consistency and the test-retest reliability between dimensions were good (0.87 and 0.89) and low to moderate (0.53 and 0.77), respectively. The CBD questionnaire was found to be a tool capable of detecting changes in pain intensity. The changes observed in the two CBD dimensions between study visits fairly reflected the patients perceived changes in pain intensity.
Conclusions: The Spanish version of BPI is valid for measuring the intensity of oncological pain and its impact on activities of daily living in conditions of usual clinical practice.


As a photographer or filmmaker, it's always great to work with someone that appreciates the value of doing things a little differently. Michael Darren, personal trainer and founder of Train to your Environment, certainly does that.
The idea behind Train to Your Environment (TTYE for short), is that you don't have to be plodding along on a treadmill or doing reps with a barbell to being getting fit. Michael often uses the surroundings or non-standard pieces of kit to make training sessions not only much more fun, but also much more effective. With this in mind, we set out to show this aspect of TTYE and what really sets apart Michaels approach from "normal training".
We started off with a (very rainy) location recce around Michael's hometown of Windsor in Berkshire. Michael had some great ideas for places that we could film to get a real mix of settings, from a typical gym environment, through to a gritty urban location and a serene woodland complete with waterfall!
Next, we moved onto our second location. While TTYE does specialise in alternative training to spice things up, Michael does also offer gym-based training, still incorporating lots of interesting and unusual training methods. It was important to get this across so we headed over to FiveStar Health and Fitness in Windsor to finish up our first day of shooting.
As well as being a personal trainer, Michael's also a very keen rugby player, so, the first location for day two was Home Park, the ground of Windsor Rugby Club for whom Michael plays. During the location recce, we had found a great, character-filled tunnel with really gnarled old brickwork that was just begging to be photographed! It also gave us a chance to get a couple of nice head-shots for TTYE's Twitter accounts, Facebook pages and for Michael's mum's mantelpiece (probably).
Next, we moved into the park itself. There were a few groups of trees that were in full autumn colour so we got a few warm, "outdoors-y" shots using natural light. We also found a huge log and a massive concrete block. "What do you do with a huge log and massive concrete block?", I hear you ask. Pick them up, of course! In the same way that lifting free weights is widely seen as a more functional form of resistance training than using weights machines, Michael's a strong proponent of "odd object training". Exercising with objects that are tricky to handle is great way of increasing your real-world strength, rather than just getting good at the chest press machine in the gym, and rubbish at everything else!
As afternoon turned to evening, an this was where the tyre flipping came in! I had been really looking forward to this and had a pretty clear image in my head of what I wanted to do. The idea was to go for a really low-key look, letting most of the shot fall away to darkness and using carefully placed flashes to pick out the important details; Michael's face, the tread of the tyre, maybe a hint of grass here and there.
Our final stop was set to be a night-time shoot under the Queen Elizabeth II bridge, again in Windsor. There's an amazing mural that runs the whole width of the bridge and we wanted to use this to add to the slightly surreal feeling that a sequence (overlaying several photos to show an action) can have. We also wanted to use the general surroundings to give a gritty, urban feel to a few photos.
And that was a wrap! We covered a lot of very different types of location and very different styles of photography over the course of the shoot. I'd love to hear what you think of them and which are your favourite shots from the session, so do let me know in the comments section at the bottom of this post. Michael and I are going to be meeting up again to shoot at a couple of other, completely different locations. I'm REALLY excited about one of them but I can't tell you what it is just yet as it's all a bit of a secret for now. Keep an eye on the blog or hit the Facebook "Like" button and you'll see the shots pop up on there soon.
Until then, keep picking up weird stuff.
Welcome to the blog section of the site. There's a mixture of things here: tips on technique, camera and other equipment reviews, and some sneak peaks at some of the projects that I'm working on.

"The ambitious and exciting culture of Minneapolis City SC truly begins at the open tryout.
From the get go, you can sense that everyone wants to make an impact. From the players trying to prove they are the next big thing, to the coaches trying to prove they can win the title. The passion to be the best is unmatched.
Open tryouts provided the perfect platform to showcase my playing abilities against other participants and current City players. This allowed me to start learning how to play with what would be my fellow teammates in a few weeks.
Over the course of two hours you are given the chance to outplay, outwork, and outmatch the other participants. That task should be an exciting undertaking for any soccer player.
Furthermore, the open tryout offers you the opportunity to compare yourself to some of the best talent in the state. Whether your training next to an ex-professional or Division 1 soccer player, you may never get an opportunity to play next to such talent anywhere else.

Using the traditional design methods, it is difficult to design economical jaw crusher to meet the requirements of strength. In the current environment of economic crisis, it is significant for jaw crusher enterprises to structural analysis and optimization of weight loss based on finite element theory to meet the strength and stiffness in order to survival and development, and to shorten the gap and catch up with the world advanced level.The static maximum crusher force formula is established by studying characteristics of work organization about jaw crusher and crusher theory of material ,and the maximum breaking force is calculated when it crushes basalt. Then according to the jaw crusher knowledge of theoretical mechanics and geometry, size and the direction of force about framework, mobile jaw body,flywheel and pulley is calculated when maximum crushing force interacts. So it paves way for static analysis of jaw crusher.in order to enhance modeling accuracy and efficiency of finite element analysis, language is used to establish the solid model of framework, mobile jaw body, flywheel and pulley. Then, the von mises stress pattem and the displacement vector sum pattem of them are obtained by meshing, loading, solving. So it can provide reference for optimization research based on finite element theory. But balance block of flywheel and pulley are removed before solid model of them are established. Then, the size of balance block is calculated according to the principle of system balance after optimal design is over.According to the results of strength and stiffness about the various components of jaw crusher, optimal parameters are set. Then,optimal results of them are found to ensure the performance of the original jaw crusher machine did not fall by optimization module of ANSYS. So Lose Weight Process towards Your Jaw Crusher can provide reference for enterprises to reduce costs and enhance competitiveness.


Last Wednesday was the Feast Day of the Assumption of Mary, a holy day of obligation, so at 8 a.m. I was sitting in the front row of St. Mary's.
As I listened to the readings and homily, I gazed at the 30-foot tall stained-glass window of Mary holding the child Jesus in her loving, protective embrace.
On Wednesday morning, I gazed at Mary embracing the child Jesus. Do you remember when it was realized that Jesus had been left behind in Jerusalem for three days before it was discovered he was missing?
Jesus was discovered in the temple, debating with the religious scholars. I wondered as I sat in Mass, would the child Jesus have been safe if he'd been left behind in the care of one of these priests in the parish of Bishop Wuerl? If Mary had expressed her concern, would Bishop Wuerl have told her he'd take care of it, while he transferred the priest in question off to another parish where he'd be free to prey again?
Years ago, when another child abuse scandal in the Church was revealed, I was so angered by our priest seeming to brush it under the rug by saying that we should be willing to forgive others, that I considered leaving the Church, as many did and will do with this new scandal.
But as I sat in Mass on Wednesday morning, I didn't feel anger. I felt my heart break. I will not leave St. Mary's or my Catholic faith. I have discovered a deep love for both over the past three years in Breckenridge. We have two wonderful new priests, Father Stephen and Father Emmanuel, both dedicated faith leaders.
I also understand that my love for God, and how I find him in the liturgy of the Catholic Church is greater than the sins of a small percentage of clergy. I won't leave, but for the love of God and my Catholic Church, I will speak out.
Since Wednesday, the Vatican has weighed in with sincere apologies, the United States Conference of Bishops has issued a three-point plan which sounds very similar to past plans, and our own Denver-based Archbishop Aquila sent an email to assure us that he has established various avenues for victims of sexual abuse to lodge complaints.
But as I read the grand jury's report from Pennsylvania, it was evident that many parents and victims had made complaints to their clergy and bishops. That wasn't the problem. More care was given to moving the abusing priest into rehabilitation and then to a new church, safely within the private enclave of the Church, than was done to help the abused child whose abuse was either not believed, downplayed or turned against them.
On Thursday morning, I went to Mass again. The gospel reading was a parable Jesus told about a servant who went to his master and asked for forgiveness of a debt. The generous master erased the debt and set the servant free. The servant turned around and went to someone who owed him and when that person was unable to pay, beat the person.
I wonder if this parable is a lesson for the Cardinals and Bishops who turn a blind eye to those rising in their ranks, like Cardinals McCarrick and Wuerl, seeking forgiveness from God, then asking the laity to forgive them when their children are repeatedly abused?
To seek forgiveness without atonement is an empty gesture. What should be done?
We need a Church leader, such as our beloved Pope Francis, to obtain the resignations of bishops and cardinals, such as newly appointed Cardinal Wuerl, who turned a blind eye or enabled priests who sexually abused children and adults. The Church must establish a zero-tolerance policy where allegations of child abuse are immediately handed over to local police for investigation and criminal prosecution and the priest is no longer allowed to serve in any parish, in any capacity. The Church must no longer be a refuge for pedophiles.
Five hundred years ago, similar corruption created the Great Reformation. My Church stands at a similar crossroads. If we cannot find a Catholic leader with the courage of Jesus to cast out the pedophiles and the immoral leadership who protect them, the Catholic Church loses its moral authority to speak on behalf of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
On Thursday afternoon as the waning afternoon light filtered in, I sat in Adoration before the Blessed Sacrament, and gazed at the stained-glass window depicting Mary holding the child Jesus. I imagined a time in the future when the Catholic Church will be the safest place for a child to find refuge.

Data breaches and other types of modern, large-scale cyberattacks have been making headlines for more than a decade, but recently, it seems like organizations in the life sciences and healthcare industry have been taking on more than their fair share. As it turns out, it doesn't just seem that way – it's actually happening according to Verizon's 2017 Data Breach Investigations Report, which states that 15% of these attacks hit healthcare organizations.
iCollabinc > News & Blog > Blog > Weighing Cybersecurity Risk Factors in Life & Healthcare
Weighing Cybersecurity Risk Factors in Life & Healthcare
knkcp
We don't have to go very far back in time for a good example of one of these attacks on a healthcare or pharma organization. On June 27, 2017, Merck, one of the largest pharma companies in the world, and 2,000 other companies were hit with ransomware called Petya that infected employees' computers across 65 countries and left a ransomware note demanding a bitcoin payment to decrypt their infected files. Weeks later, the pharma giant is still trying to get their infrastructure back on track.
So, before a company like Merck – or any company for that matter – can determine a plan of action to prevent the next cyberattack, it must consider why the attack happened in the first place. With that in mind, let's explore a few narratives that could come into play in the process of becoming a cyberattack target.
Four Narratives that Could Explain Why
A decade ago, cybersecurity was all about securing the perimeter to ensure that corporate IT systems were closed to outsiders. In the past five years, however, working remotely has become more and more ubiquitous with a high percentage of employees working outside of the perimeter, accessing sensitive data through the cloud and unsecured systems, and often doing it all via a mobile device. As a result, the entire enterprise has become fundamentally more vulnerable, making it difficult to determine where the perimeter ends and the outside world begins.
Healthcare and life sciences companies have long been slow to innovate when it comes to digital, and this hasn't been helped by the fact that technology is not their core business proposition. In fact, as other industries have had to adopt new business models to grow their revenues, which typically resulted in disproportionate investment into technology, healthcare and life sciences have stayed a little behind the digitization curve.
For many organizations, being slow to innovate is not by choice. Instead, it's often for compliance reasons, like in a scenario where a business has to choose between meeting the latest regulatory standard and rolling out a new technology. In this case, the company may stay in business without the new software component, but not without meeting the regulatory standard. Indeed, compliance has long been a burden to the CIO agenda.
Finally, considering the above narrative about the ever-expanding perimeter and how the June cyberattack on Merck affected so many employees, it's worth noting that the companies making headlines for data breaches aren't small or even medium-sized. Instead, hackers go after the biggest and, by extension, most profitable targets – companies with the highest numbers of employees, locations, and potential entry points.
How to Plan for What's Next
Considering the size and scope of the data breach against Merck, it's hard not to start posing what-if questions. What if they had implemented better or more security controls sooner? What if they had run a mixture of Windows and iOS to stave off Windows-attacking viruses like WannaCry and Petya? What if they had identified the virus before it made its way across the entire enterprise?
There will always be what-ifs, but with so many possible access points for a data breach, it's nearly impossible to ever be 100% uncompromised, especially when you're a huge company trying to balance growth and revenue with compliance and security.
It's not easy, but it is absolutely worth your time to not only determine a plan to improve your cybersecurity, but also create a plan for how to respond if your company falls victim to a cyberattack. The best way to get started is to assume you're already compromised, or that you'll be compromised tomorrow at the latest, and then find a partner who can help you. The faster you make cybersecurity a priority, the better off you'll be.
