And I'm not just talking about yoga poses photographed beautifully. I mean inspiration to help you develop and build your business all while giving you the personal motivation to discover your own journey through yoga practice.
Here is a list of the top and up and coming Yogis to follow in 2019.
Not your usual yoga teacher, Amanda started Mastering the Business of Yoga (MBOM) to help successful yoga teachers grow their business. After receiving her 200 YT training, she realized she was having trouble with managing her business, even with a business degree! And so, MBOM was born.
Her Instagram feed is a great representation of her incredibly successful yoga business podcast of the same name. Originally from Canada, Amanda travels and works around the world. With her boyfriend, Ryan, they created the 'The World Wanderers' Podcast to share their mutual love for adventure and travel with the world!
It was an amazing experience — teaching yoga on the @yogaanytime set in California this summer. It was also terrifying. . Overall, I am pretty confident in my own skin. I don't worry a lot about what I wear. I love thrift store deals. I stopped wearing makeup. I just like to show up as me and not worry about dressing up for others. When I do dress up I like to do it for me. . I teach mainly 1:1 Yoga for Pelvic Health in a physiotherapy office, so I don't dress in "tight and bright" yoga clothes, so it felt strange to do that for these videos, but when you hear Kira @kirasloane explain why…it makes so much sense! . That is a huge reason why I wanted to interview her on the podcast. I wanted to share the story of how I was afraid and how I did it anyway. I wanted to share why yoga on film works when done this way and I really wanted to share the amazing intentions behind everything that Yoga Anytime does. . Kira talked about how quick and to the point works best. People are showing up to do yoga, not to see how much I know about yoga. This is something I remind myself of when I am teaching weekly group classes also. Or 1:1. I try and "let the yoga happen" — and I find that works best when people are listening to their own body instead of my cues and words. . If you are wanting to see my series on Yoga Anytime — it will be out and ready on November 13th. Use the promo code CROW and you can get 30 days free (if you are new to the platform).

Curating workplace culture: Technē's Steve McKeag
When a business grows, maintaining the perfect balance of workplace culture can be a hard task. At Melbourne-based practice Technē, long-time staffer Steve McKeag has recently taken up the mantle after being promoted to the role of Director of People and Culture.

Indesignlive: You were made director at Technē in April this year, now that you've had time to settle in, has the role changed much for you?
Steve McKeag: My role has changed a bit, but in many ways, it also hasn't, which was one of the key objectives. As you transition through your career as an architect, you gain responsibilities. But I've always really just wanted to be an architect.
I have also taken on business development, along with the management of people and culture. I know that 'people and culture' is a bit of a buzzword but it's such an important part of the company. Getting the right mix of workplace culture is ridiculously important.
I'm also interested in people's progression and creative directions and now it's a more formalised process. I touch base throughout the course of a year to ensure that the path for each person in the team is where they want to be going and is also in line with Technē's management plan.
Getting the right mix of workplace culture is ridiculously important.
The work-life balance at a traditional architecture practice is all too often a 'burn the candle at both ends' approach. This is something that we've identified can be managed properly through good mentoring and engagement from the senior team all the way through to the junior staff.
How has Technē changed? Is there are a succession plan in place?
I joined the team eleven years ago and I think we might have only been a team of five or six back then. We're now at 34, which is evenly divided between interiors and architects.
As we've been growing we have brought over a lot of prime talent that has come from many other distinguished practices. That's a really big thing for us. We want our team to feel that they have great opportunities to be a part of.
Recently, we did a culture survey that went out to all staff, anonymously, with question across six key topics. We're in the process of going through that at the moment and looking for ideas we can implement to always be improving.

What advice would you give to younger architects or designers who are actively looking to climb the ladder, so to speak?
It can be really beneficial to have a focus area, whether that be as a design or project architect, or a technical project architect, for example. Plus, it's good to develop your soft skills outside of design specifically as well. For me, communication is a big one. I have great confidence in my team, we communicate regularly.
It can be really beneficial to have a focus area, whether that be as a design or project architect, or a technical project architect.
Otherwise, I guess just being actively engaged will always stand you in good stead. For us, we're not a top-down design practice. We really try to empower up and coming designers.
What else is happening at the Technē studio?
We've got a workshop out the back and we've really been pushing collaborations, whether that's between furniture designers, production and our design team, for example.
A lot of the guys have interest in areas of expertise or other creative practice, such as ceramics or woodworking. So we've just formalised a way to help facilitate more cross-team and cross-discipline collaboration, which is really exciting.

PORTLAND, Ore. (MuseWire) – Following the success of similar events in recent years, key manufacturers including Lab.gruppen, Peavey Commercial Audio, Bosch Communications Systems, Yamaha Commercial Audio, Audinate and ASL, will be hosting an all day event on Tuesday 31 January at the Holiday Inn Amsterdam. The 2012 AV Networking Congress, brings together some leading industry AV design consultants, and pro-audio manufacturers sharing their expertise in the rapid convergence from analogue to digital media networks.
Technologies for digital audio networking first appeared nearly two decades ago, but only recently have we began to witness a seismic shift away from traditional analogue networking and towards digital networking. A key driver for this is the rapid convergence of AV and IT, underpinned by the adoption of high performance AV networking technologies, such as Dante, based on the same underlying standards that are used in IT.
The 2012 AV Networking Congress will be a multi-session panel-based event, covering a wide range of installation application topics, including Voice Alarm and Evacuation systems, Stadia and large venues, digital media in Theatres and an introduction to the OCA (Open Control Architecture) Alliance – as well as a look at the evolution of digital audio transport, presented by Audinate's CTO Aidan Williams.
Among the panel of leading independent consultants to take part in the panel discussions will be Sam Wise of Arup (UK), Richard Northwood of COMS (UK) and Martin Wunderlich (Wunderton) as well as key specialists in their field such as Peter Cox of Thames Audio and Scott George of Autograph Sound. This broad-spectrum of expertise, coupled with leading representatives from the manufacturers, should ensure a well-informed and educational day's debate for all attending delegates.
For further details on registering to attend, and the day's schedule, please visit www.avnetworkingcongress.com .

How is your week going? Mine was off to a bit of a rocky start, because I found myself anxious, and filled with doubt.
There are times when I set out to do something new and the excitement is momentarily replaced with dread.
I was having one of those moments, and I decided to do some research on ways to help myself. I focused on how to have a more healthy mindset.
I listened to podcasts, read articles– and then I wrote out some affirmations.
When I share, it's not because I have arrived. Oftentimes, I'm working through the process alongside you.
My latest episode, Affirmations for a Healthy Mindset, you will find 40 healthy thoughts that will assist you in your life perspective. Perspective really is everything!
P.S. If you listen on Apple podcasts, I'd love it if you'd leave me a review. My podcast is also available on Stitcher and Spotify as well!
What will you do with all of your ideas?
I love creative people. Especially the ones with big ideas. They're able to turn a seemingly simple question into an interesting, hours-long discussion. The most visionary of all creatives can get deep into where they think the future is headed, what are some of the world's greatest problems to be solved, and more.
But, what are ideas if they are left unimplemented?
Don't forget to rate, comment, and most importantly–share!

As a little girl, I had very specific reasons for loving the fall season. Though I love mild weather, there was so much to love about the change of any season. I loved the sound of fallen leaves crunching under my feet as I skipped sidewalk squares on the way to school. I loved the bite in the air that caused me to have to consider one of the coats sitting in the back part of my closet. I loved the changing colors of foliage. Fall was also the time– with summer ending, that school would resume soon.
Thinking of the fall season makes me think of my mother's rule– no new clothes until I had cleared out my closet of the ones I could no longer wear. This got me thinking– what things have not cleared from my life now, to make room for the things I desire most?
In this week's podcast episode, I discuss the broader concept of "making room" and end with some wonderful affirmations as you become bolder and more clear about what it is you want.

Bahrain paves the way for Gulf solar panel manufacturing
Bahrain paves the way for solar panel manufacturing in the Gulf
Austin Bodetti
Bahrain has become an unlikely hub for solar panels which could make it a role model for other energy superpowers in the Persian Gulf, showing them not only how to expand its use but also how to diversify their economies away from fossil fuels.
Even as the kingdoms of the Persian Gulf seek to maintain the dominance of the petroleum industry to secure their economic futures, they are redoubling investments in renewable energy amid a global push for carbon neutrality.
Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, the region's most powerful countries, are using their enormous wealth to spearhead this campaign.
How Gulf countries will 'make it rain' with cloud seeding
Nonetheless, Bahrain, a tiny island country often dismissed as a Saudi client state, has managed to distinguish itself as an unlikely hub for the manufacture of solar panels.
Credit for this achievement goes to Solar One, a company based in the Bahraini city of Askar.

Solar One bills itself on its website as "Bahrain's first solar panel manufacturer," "Bahrain's solar energy leader," and a "market leader in solar energy project development."
Founded in 2017, the company intends "to deliver high-quality, cost-competitive products and services to the market" and claims to "have served over 100 happy clients in five countries."
Solar One's commitment to renewable energy has earned its plaudits overseas. Last March, CNN published an article praising the firm for "blazing a trail for renewables."
"Founded in 2017, the company intends 'to deliver high-quality, cost-competitive products and services to the market' and claims to 'have served over 100 happy clients in five countries'"
CNN reported that Solar One also received a positive reception at home: the company obtained funding from Tamkeen, a Bahraini government agency.

The investment should come as little surprise, given the alignment of Solar One's aspirations with Bahrain's. The business will bring the country one step closer to its goal of carbon neutrality by 2060 and help Bahrain diversify its economy.
According to the World Bank, revenue from fossil fuels accounts for over 70 percent of Bahrain's government budget.
However, the International Monetary Fund has predicted that the country will exhaust its oil and gas reserves before the end of the decade – faster than any other Gulf monarchy.
By producing its own solar panels, Bahrain can reduce its reliance on the petroleum industry while advancing a complementary plan for the expansion of renewable energy.

Bahraini officials aim to derive five percent of their country's energy from renewable resources by 2025 and 10 percent by 2035.
Solar One has played a small role in realising these objectives, boasting of having "contributed over 2 MW of clean energy to Bahrain's energy mix" out of the 280 megawatts that the country hopes to have by 2025.
The company has also supported the government in more creative ways, using a webpage to highlight pictures of Solar One solar panels on a building belonging to the Bahraini Ministry of Justice and Islamic Affairs.
"Bahrain often repeats the Gulf's commitment to renewable energy and carbon neutrality even if that goal remains decades away"
Bahrain's leaders have plenty of other allies in their bid for carbon neutrality. This month, the website Zawya reported that the Bahraini Electricity and Water Authority received seven bids for a series of initiatives involving solar power.
The successful bidders included the Bahraini firm Tarsheed Energy, the Emirati company Yellow Door Energy, and the Saudi firm Safeer, an indication that Solar One will face competition at home and elsewhere in the Gulf.
Bahrain often repeats the Gulf's commitment to renewable energy and carbon neutrality even if that goal remains decades away. In a press release for the 2022 United Nations Climate Change Conference – better known as "COP27" – Ahmed Sultan, an official with the Bahrain Economic Development Board, detailed "how the Gulf states are using tech to build net-zero and future-fit manufacturing industries."
The weaponisation of water and Iraq's climate catastrophe
Saoud Khalaf
The National Bank of Bahrain, a state-owned enterprise, has also supported the installation of solar panels throughout the country.
The private sector is making its own effort to assist Bahrain's transition to renewable energy. The website SolarFeeds notes that Solar One's local rivals include KP Smart Energy and Solartecc Green Energy.
Solartecc has even collaborated with the Italian firm Ecoprogetti to develop its own facility for manufacturing, an example of the ways in which competition and internationalization are accelerating Bahrain's quest for carbon neutrality.
"Bahrain has worked with the United Nations Development Programme to explore the possibility of covering dozens of government buildings with solar panels"
Though Bahrain enjoys considerable wealth thanks to its oil and gas reserves, the country may nevertheless benefit from overseas support.
Bahrain has worked with the United Nations Development Programme to explore the possibility of covering dozens of government buildings with solar panels, in effect a larger version of Solar One's photo-worthy partnership with the Bahraini Ministry of Justice and Islamic Affairs.
Other arms of the UN, such as the UN Environmental Program, can further assist the Bahraini embrace of solar power.

These examples of cooperation between the public sector, the private sector, and the international community are turning Bahrain into a role model for sustainable development and economic diversification.
The Emirates, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia may even want to follow in Bahrain's footsteps, marshalling their financial resources to bolster the Gulf's transition to carbon neutrality and nudge their economies away from the petroleum industry.
For now, Bahrain has set itself apart as a manufacturer of solar panels, an industry whose success will determine the future of the country's plans to cut greenhouse gas emissions. Without allies like Solar One, the country will find itself that much further from carbon neutrality.

Instead of the original plan to perform as part of the night at the James Joyce Centre we'll now be playing our own show on Friday 25th September in Bewley's Cafe Theatre. That's the day my album is released and I hope you can get along to the gig if you're from Dublin.

This is a great video that shows a bit more of the heart and leadership of Tim Tebow. Let me know what you think.
What are your thoughts of this video?
Did you hear the big controversy surrounding Denver Broncos quarterback, Tim Tebow?
It was covered on the O'Reilly Factor and other major television news outlets. An arrest warrant was issued last week for failing to pay his child support- no wait, that was Terrell Owens. Was he arrested for murder, then released for being in the company of a group that stabbed a guy to death? No. That was Baltimore Ravens All Pro, Ray Lewis. Tebow wasn't even involved in "making it rain" in a strip joint like Pacman Jones.
Tim Tebow's "controversy" is that he gives glory to God, goes down on one knee after scoring (Now called "Tebowing"), and he talks about his love for Christ publicly. It's not that Tebow thinks that God favors the Broncos over the Titans or any other NFL team. It's just that Tebow believes that if he is able to do anything good in this life, it's simply because God gave him the ability to do it and he wants to always remember that. It's actually a humble act in his mind and heart of giving God the glory.
Tebow is human and like everyone, he has his faults. That is perhaps never more obvious than in his college team of choice-the Florida Gators. (If he was totally following God, he most likely would have played college ball for the Tennessee Vols but that's another story. God has forgiven him for that.) Most likely, his deep rooted convictions will keep him on the path that many young men with sudden wealth and fame of pro sports fall victim to.
Rogers went on to explain that he's not an "over the top" kind of guy and he would rather have people ask him why he behaves the way he does rather than him telling everyone. He said this in reference to being asked about Tebow's outspokenness.
I'm not sure how well that's working for Rogers. Before reading the ESPN quote, I actually didn't have any idea that Rogers was a believer. His actions just aren't speaking out to a dark world as loudly as Tim Tebow. Perhaps Rogers is making a difference with some of his teammates and quietly working behind the scenes. I know that other NFL players, such as Matt Hasselback of the Titans, are very bold in some of their relationships with teammates about their faith. There should be more grace given to anyone, be it Rogers or Tebow, if they are truly striving to be the person that God has called them to be. He has certainly blessed both men with a platform of influence and talent.
Pro athletes are blessed with a lot and Scripture says that if that's the case, a lot is expected. Tebow is trying to be the best "Tebow" that he can be, for the God who loves him. I don't believe in throwing stones but if you're going to be throwing them, does a 24 year old young man who is successfully being a good role model to many in this world who needs a role model need to be the target? I don't think so.

Written testimony of NPPD for a House Oversight and Government Reform Subcommittee on Information Technology, and Subcommittee on Government Operations hearing titled "State of Play: Federal IT in 2018"
Written testimony of NPPD Office of Cybersecurity and Communications Assistant Secretary Jeanette Manfra for a House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, Subcommittee on Information Technology, and Subcommittee on Government Operations hearing titled "State of Play: Federal IT in 2018"
Chairman Hurd, Ranking Member Kelly, and members of the Subcommittee, thank you for today's opportunity to discuss the state of federal cybersecurity. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) serves a critical role in safeguarding and securing cyberspace, a core homeland security mission. The National Protection and Programs Directorate (NPPD) at DHS leads the Nation's efforts to ensure the security and resilience of our cyber and physical infrastructure. This past December, the House voted favorably on H.R. 3359, the "Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency Act of 2017." If enacted, this bill would mature and streamline NPPD, renaming our organization as the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency to clearly reflect our essential mission and our role in securing cyberspace. The Department strongly supports this much-needed legislation and encourages swift action by Congress to complete its work on this legislation.
NPPD is responsible for collaborating with other federal agencies to protect civilian federal government networks, as well as with the Intelligence Community; law enforcement; state, local, tribal, and territorial governments; and the private sector to defend against cyber threats. We endeavor to enhance cyber threat information sharing across the globe to stop cyber incidents before they start and help businesses and government agencies to protect their cyber systems and quickly recover should such an incident occur. By bringing together all levels of government, the private sector, international partners, and the public, we are taking action to protect against cybersecurity risks, improve our whole-of-government incident response capabilities, enhance information sharing on best practices and cyber threats, and strengthen resilience.
Cyber threats remain one of the most significant and constant strategic risks for the United States, putting our national security, economic prosperity, and public health and safety at risk. We have long been confronted with a myriad of attacks against our digital networks. But over the past year, Americans saw malicious actors, including hackers, cyber criminals, and nation states, increase the frequency and sophistication of these attacks. Our adversaries have been developing and using advanced cyber capabilities to undermine critical infrastructure, target our livelihoods and innovation, steal our national security secrets, and threaten our democracy.
Global cyber incidents, such as the "WannaCry" ransomware incident and the "NotPetya" malware incident in May and June 2017, respectively, are examples of malicious actors leveraging cyberspace to create disruptive effects and cause economic loss. These incidents exploited known vulnerabilities in software commonly used across the globe. Prior to these events, NPPD had already taken actions to help protect networks. Through vulnerability scanning, NPPD helped federal agencies and other stakeholders identify vulnerabilities on their networks so they could be patched before the incidents occurred. Recognizing that not all users are able to install patches immediately, NPPD shared additional mitigation guidance to assist network defenders.
Since 2009, cyber actors of the North Korean government have targeted the media, aerospace, financial, and critical infrastructure sectors in the United States and globally. The U.S. Government refers to the malicious cyber activity by the North Korean government as HIDDEN COBRA. Commercial reporting has referred to this activity as Lazarus Group and Guardians of Peace. DHS and FBI have generated analytic products to provide information to network defenders to assist with the detection of malicious network activity. The analytic products provide technical details on the tools and infrastructure used by cyber actors of the North Korean government. Working with U.S. Government partners, DHS and FBI identified Internet Protocol (IP) addresses associated with a malware variant, known as DeltaCharlie, used to manage North Korea's distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) botnet infrastructure. These actors have leveraged their capabilities to target and compromise a range of victims; some intrusions have resulted in the exfiltration of data while others have been disruptive in nature. Tools and capabilities used by HIDDEN COBRA actors include DDoS botnets, keyloggers, remote access tools (RATs), and wiper malware. Variants of malware and tools used by HIDDEN COBRA actors include Destover, Wild Positron/Duuzer, and Hangman. DHS previously released a technical alert, which contains additional details on the use of a server message block (SMB) worm tool employed by these actors. Further research is needed to understand the full breadth of this group's cyber capabilities. DHS and FBI assess that HIDDEN COBRA actors will continue to use cyber operations to advance their government's military and strategic objectives.
In another series of incidents since at least May of last year, working with U.S. and international partners, DHS and FBI have identified advanced persistent threat actors targeting government entities and businesses in the energy, nuclear, water, aviation, and critical manufacturing sectors. DHS assesses that this campaign comprises two distinct categories of victims: staging and intended targets. In other words, through DHS's incident response actions, we have observed this advanced persistent threat actor target certain entities that then become pivot points, leveraging existing relationships between the initial victim and the intended targets to hide their activity, as part of a multi-stage intrusion campaign to gain access to networks of major, high-value assets that operate components of our Nation's critical infrastructure. Based on DHS analysis and observed indicators of compromise, DHS has confidence that this campaign is still ongoing, and threat actors are actively pursuing their ultimate long-term campaign objectives. In recent weeks, DHS and the FBI remain active with incident response and have published a joint technical alert to enable network defenders to identify and take action to reduce exposure to this malicious activity.
Cybersecurity Priorities
This Administration has taken an active stance in protecting and defending our public and economic safety from the range of threats that exist today, including those emanating from cyberspace. Last year, the President signed Executive Order (EO) 13800, on Strengthening the Cybersecurity of Federal Networks and Critical Infrastructure. This Executive Order set in motion a series of assessments and deliverables to understand how to improve our defenses and lower our risk to cyber threats. This order also emphasized the importance of accountability – clarifying that agency heads are responsible and will be held accountable for the security of their networks and systems. NPPD plays an important role in providing capabilities, services and direction to federal agencies.
As part of the EO, NPPD has been working with our interagency partners to modernize the federal government's information technology (IT) infrastructure. This Committee has led this effort by working to enact the Modernizing Government Technology Act last December. We are exploring opportunities to consolidate network architectures and embrace shared IT services, while emphasizing cybersecurity is a foundational element of all new IT services. As federal agencies begin to leverage cloud computing and mobile technologies, we acknowledge that security solutions need to evolve. DHS is focused on the objectives that Trusted Internet Connections (TIC) mandate expected to achieve, such as gaining situational awareness across the federal civilian landscape, as opposed to driving a specific technical approach. We will continue our work with the Office of American Innovations, Office of Management and Budget and the federal civilian agencies to ensure agencies understand their roles and responsibilities to secure their data, maintain situational awareness and have appropriate security protections for their cloud environments. We must work quickly to replace legacy IT. No amount of investment in innovative cybersecurity capabilities will fully succeed in protecting our IT until we address the pervasive problem of legacy equipment and software across the federal enterprise. We must also modernize how the government manages IT risk in order to ensure effective, sustainable and secure investments. As such, we are taking steps to ensure that our investment planning and prioritization in future capabilities are driven by a threat informed approach. Leveraging the legislation passed by this committee, we are working with the agencies to modernize their systems.
The challenges posed by antiquated, end-of-life, legacy Federal IT systems has been apparent in the implementation of DHS's binding operational directives (BODs). Some legacy systems can no longer be patched, others are not supported by vendors, and some experience significant performance issues if not re-configured during the security upgrade/enhancement process. Many of these legacy systems simply were not designed for the current environment and the need for modern security approaches. As an example, during the implementation of BOD 15-01 (Mitigating Critical Vulnerabilities) and BOD 16-02 (Securing Network Infrastructure Devices), the DHS team identified and monitored dozens of end-of-life systems preventing the agency from quickly securing the system based on the BOD action. Fortunately, in most cases, DHS and the agency were able to address these issues and either upgrade, transition, or mitigate. While the use of more modernized IT equipment has many benefits for users and administrators, the benefits to cybersecurity are significant.
Across the Federal government, agencies have been implementing action plans to use the industry-standard Department of Commerce's National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework. Agencies are reporting to DHS and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) on their cybersecurity risk mitigation and acceptance choices. In coordination with OMB, NPPD has been evaluating the totality of these Agency reports in order to comprehensively assess the adequacy of the Federal government's overall cybersecurity risk management posture. DHS works with agencies and OMB to ensure agencies have adequate resources to address their cybersecurity risk.
DHS is embracing our statutory responsibility to administer, in consultation with OMB, the implementation of federal agency cybersecurity policies and practices by leading the effort to secure the federal civilian executive branch enterprise following a risk-based approach. This committee played a key role in championing the passage of FISMA 2014 and clarifying these important authorities for DHS. The overarching goal of federal cybersecurity is to ensure that every agency maintains an adequate level of cybersecurity, commensurate with its own risks and with those of the federal enterprise. E.O. 13800 makes clear that cybersecurity risk within the Executive Branch shall be managed as an enterprise. At the same time, agencies implement their cybersecurity programs and manage their own risk, as they are best positioned to understand how their unique mission environments need to be protected.
DHS supports these efforts by providing shared services and essential architecture and, along with the OMB, ensuring an adequate level of security enterprise-wide, including addressing systemic risks and interdependencies. We are working to assess risks at agencies, particularly systemic risks that could affect the Executive Branch as a whole; making recommendations to agencies and adjusting government-wide policies as necessary; making budgeting recommendation to OMB to ensure that cybersecurity risks are appropriately accounted for and funded; and furthering our analysis support to OMB to ensure that policies are adhered to and agencies are held accountable.
Our efforts, in collaboration with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the General Services Administration, are guided by three principles: risk-based, cost-effective, and scalable. DHS addresses the greatest risks first and focuses on the highest impact systems, assets, and capabilities through cost-effective and scalable approaches. DHS leads through direct action and offerings, but also through collaboration and communication with agencies and partners, such as OMB, the General Services Administration, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
Cybersecurity Protections for Federal Networks
Although federal agencies have primary responsibility for their own cybersecurity, DHS, pursuant to its various authorities, provides a common set of security tools across the civilian executive branch and helps agencies manage their cyber risk. NPPD's assistance to federal agencies includes:
providing tools to safeguard civilian executive branch networks through the National Cybersecurity Protection System (NCPS), which includes "EINSTEIN", and the Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM) programs;
measuring and motivating agencies to implement policies, directives, standards, and guidelines;
serving as a hub for information sharing and incident reporting; and
providing operational and technical assistance, including threat information dissemination and risk and vulnerability assessments, as well as incident response services.
NPPD's National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center (NCCIC) is the civilian government's hub for cybersecurity information sharing, asset incident response, and coordination for both private sector and the federal government.
EINSTEIN is a signature-based intrusion detection and prevention capability that takes action on known malicious activity, protecting unclassified networks at the perimeter of each federal government agency. EINSTEIN provides situational awareness of civilian executive branch network traffic, so threats detected at one agency are shared with all others providing agencies with information and capabilities to more effectively manage their cyber risk. We could not achieve such situational awareness through individual agency efforts alone.
NPPD is also leveraging investments in EINSTEIN to move beyond current reliance on signatures through pilot projects that are yielding positive results in the discovery of previously unidentified malicious activity. The pilot efforts are helping us to define the future operational needs for tactics, techniques, procedures, and skill sets required to operationalize the non-signature based approach to cybersecurity.
EINSTEIN will not block every threat; therefore, it must be complemented with systems and tools working inside agency networks—as effective cybersecurity risk management requires a defense-in-depth strategy that cannot be achieved through only one type of tool. CDM provides cybersecurity tools and integration services to all participating agencies to enable them to improve their respective security postures by reducing the attack surface of their networks as well as providing DHS with enterprise-wide visibility through a common federal dashboard.
CDM is helping us achieve two major advances for federal cybersecurity.
First, agencies are gaining visibility, often for the first time, into the extent of cybersecurity risks across their entire network. With enhanced visibility, they can prioritize the mitigation of identified issues based upon their relative importance.
Second, with the federal dashboard, the NCCIC will be able to operationalize this visibility, initially through improved vulnerability management. For example, the NCCIC currently tracks government-wide progress in implementing critical patches via agency self-reporting and manual data calls. CDM will transform this, enabling the NCCIC to immediately view the prevalence of a given software product or vulnerability across the federal government so that the NCCIC can provide agencies with timely guidance on their risk exposure and recommended mitigation steps.
Effective cybersecurity requires a robust measurement regime, and robust measurement requires valid and timely data. CDM will provide this baseline of cybersecurity risk data to drive improvement across the civilian executive branch.
DHS conducts a number of activities to measure agencies' cybersecurity practices and works with agencies to improve risk management practices. The Federal Information Security Modernization Act of 2014 (FISMA) provided the Secretary of Homeland Security with the authority to develop and oversee implementation of BOD to agencies. In 2016, the Secretary issued a BOD on securing High Value Assets (HVA), or those assets, federal information systems, information, and data for which unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction could cause a significant impact to the United States' national security interests, foreign relations, economy, or to the public confidence, civil liberties, or public health and safety of the American people. NPPD works with interagency partners to identify and prioritize HVAs for assessment and remediation activities across the federal government. For instance, NPPD conducts security architecture reviews on these HVAs to help agencies assess their system architecture and configurations. DHS has also coordinated with NIST to develop and issue an HVA Control Overlay. This guidance articulates specific guidance for implementing security controls that HVA system owners should implement, in addition to existing controls they have selected, to mitigate against known threats and weaknesses.
In addition to security architecture reviews, DHS conducts in-depth vulnerability assessments of the priority agency HVAs to determine how an adversary could penetrate a system, move around an agency's network to access sensitive data, and exfiltrate such data without being detected. These assessments include services such as penetration testing, wireless security analysis, and "phishing" evaluations in which NPPD cyber operators send emails to agency personnel and test whether recipients click on potentially malicious links. NPPD has focused these assessments on federal systems that may be of particular interest to adversaries or support uniquely significant data or services. In combination, security architecture reviews and vulnerability assessments provide system owners with recommendations to address identified vulnerabilities. DHS also works with the General Services Administration to ensure that contractors can provide assessments and other services to agencies that align with our HVA initiative. In the coming months DHS will be issuing an update to the BOD for securing HVAs that outlines required agency actions, senior agency leadership engagement, and an enhanced focus on the tracking and remediation of findings to further promote secure outcomes in alignment with the IT Modernization Report to the President.
Another BOD issued by the Secretary in 2015 directs civilian agencies to promptly patch known vulnerabilities on their Internet-facing systems that are most at risk from their exposure. The NCCIC conducts Cyber Hygiene scans to identify vulnerabilities in agencies' internet-accessible devices and provides mitigation recommendations. Agencies have responded quickly in implementing the Secretary's BOD and have sustained this progress. When the Secretary issued this BOD, NPPD identified more than 360 "stale" critical vulnerabilities across federal civilian agencies, which means the vulnerabilities had been known for at least 30 days and remained unpatched. Since December 2015, NPPD has identified an average of less than 40 critical vulnerabilities at any given time, and agencies have addressed those vulnerabilities rapidly. NPPD attributes this significant decrease in "stale" critical vulnerabilities to the clear cross-government expectation set up the BOD which enabled increased awareness across agency management teams which, in turn, prioritized agencies' efforts to quickly take action. By providing transparent reports to Agency executive leadership and engaging operational teams routinely on mitigation progress, NPPD continues to make progress in aligning its roles with regard to cybersecurity performance management and operational and technical assistance to help agencies find and fix vulnerabilities to secure their networks before an incident occurs. The progress made across Federal agencies to decrease the time it takes to mitigate critical vulnerabilities to Internet-facing systems has been encouraging. Because of the success of these efforts and the increased involvement of Agency executives to help drive positive organizational change and the prioritization of vulnerability management, NPPD is working to ensure the Federal government is meeting or exceeding industry standards and best practices related to vulnerability and patch management. Either through guidance, recommendations, or operational direction, NPPD will continue working closely with the Federal community to rapidly address vulnerabilities by shortening mitigation timelines where practical in order to further reduce agencies' exposure to cyber risks.
By sharing information quickly and widely, we help all partners block cyber threats before damaging incidents occur. Equally important, the information we receive from partners helps us identify emerging risks and develop effective protective measures. As required by the Cybersecurity Act of 2015, NPPD expanded a capability operated by the NCCIC, known as automated indicator sharing (AIS), to automate our sharing of cyber threat indicators in real-time. The Cybersecurity Act establishes the NCCIC as a civilian hub for sharing cyber threat indicators and defensive measures with and among federal and non-federal entities, including the private sector. AIS protects the privacy and civil liberties of individuals by requiring removal of known personal information not directly related to a cybersecurity threat.
AIS is a part of the Department's effort to create an environment in which as soon as a company or federal agency observes an attempted compromise, the indicator is shared in real time with all of our partners, enabling them to protect themselves from that particular threat. This real-time sharing capability can limit the scalability of many attack techniques, thereby increasing the costs for adversaries and reducing the impact of malicious cyber activity. More than 230 agencies and private sector partners have connected to the AIS capability. AIS is still a maturing capability and we expect the volume of threat indicators shared through this system to substantially increase. As more indictors are shared from other federal agencies, state and local governments, and the private sector, this information sharing environment will become more robust and effective.
Another part of the Department's overall information sharing effort is to provide federal network defenders with the necessary context regarding cyber threats to prioritize their efforts and inform their decision making. DHS's Office of Intelligence and Analysis (I&A) has collocated analysts within the NCCIC responsible for continuously assessing the specific threats to federal networks using traditional all source methods and indicators of malicious activity so that the NCCIC can share with federal network defenders in collaboration with I&A. Analysts from the Departments of Defense, Energy, Treasury, Health and Human Services; the FBI, and other agencies are also collocated within the NCCIC and working together to understand the threats and share information with their sector stakeholders.
Mitigating Cyber Risks
We continue to adapt to the evolving risks to critical infrastructure, and prioritize our services to mitigate those risks. For instance, the Department recently took action regarding specific products which present a risk to federal information systems.
After careful consideration of available information and consultation with interagency partners, BOD 17-01 was issued that directed Federal Executive Branch departments and agencies to take actions related to the use or presence of information security products, solutions, and services supplied directly or indirectly by AO Kaspersky Lab or related entities. The BOD called on departments and agencies to identify any use or presence of Kaspersky products on their information systems in the next 30 days, to develop detailed plans to remove and discontinue present and future use of the products within 60 days, and at 90 days from the date of the directive, unless directed otherwise by DHS based on new information, to begin to implement the agency plans to discontinue use and remove the products from federal information systems. This action is based on the information security risks presented by the use of Kaspersky products on federal IT systems.
The Department provided an opportunity for Kaspersky to submit a written response addressing the Department's concerns or to mitigate those concerns, and Kaspersky submitted a written response. The Department wanted to ensure that the company had a full opportunity to provide any evidence, materials, or data that may be relevant. This opportunity was also available to any other entity that claimed its commercial interests will be directly impacted by the directive.
While the information and communications technology supply chain is not the source of all cyber risk, it presents an opportunity for creation of threats and vulnerabilities. Commercial technology is ubiquitous in federal networks, even those that handle the most sensitive information and support essential functions of the government. DHS—through its work with the Department of Defense and the intelligence community to identify key supply chain risks—has established a Cyber Supply Chain Risk Management (C-SCRM) initiative. Due to the increasing connectivity of the world and the growing sophistication of threats, this initiative will identify and mitigate supply chain threats and vulnerabilities High Value Assets.
In the face of increasingly sophisticated threats, NPPD stands on the front lines of the federal government's efforts to defend our nation's federal networks and critical infrastructure from cyber threats. Our information technology is increasingly complex and dynamic with interdependencies that add to the challenge of securing and making it more resilient. Technological advances have introduced the "Internet of Things" (IoT) and cloud computing, offering increased access and streamlined efficiencies, while increasing our footprint of access points that could be leveraged by adversaries to gain unauthorized access to networks. As our nation continues to evolve and new threats emerge, we must integrate cyber and physical risk in order to understand how to effectively secure it. Expertise around cyber-physical risk and cross-sector critical infrastructure interdependencies is where NPPD brings unique expertise and capabilities.
We must ensure that NPPD is appropriately organized to address cybersecurity threats both now and in the future, and we appreciate this Committee's leadership in working to establish the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. As the Committee considers these issues, we are committed to working with Congress to ensure that this effort is done in a way that cultivates a safer, more secure and resilient Homeland.
Thank you for the opportunity to testify, and we look forward to any questions you may have.

PDP Eulogises Late Victor Uwaifo, Urges FG To Immortalize Him
Politics By Ifeanyi N. Aug 29, 2021 Updated: Aug 30, 2021 No Comments2 Mins Read
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Sunday expressed shock and sadness by the death of highlife music maestro, sculptor and academician, Sir Victor Uwaifo.
Sir Victor Uwaifo
In a statement on Sunday by Kola Ologbondiyan, National Publicity Secretary of the party, he said, "Victor Uwaifo PhD, was a highly talented Nigerian, who used his music, intellect and creativity to promote unity and peaceful co-existence as well as our rich cultural heritage as a people."
He said, "Guitar Boy" as Victor Uwaifo was popularly called, was a rare gem; a nationalist, who, for decades, ruled the airwaves, and used his music and arts to propagate the message of hope, faith, hard work, honesty, tolerance and patriotism; and left resounding legacies that will remain evergreen even for generations yet unborn.
According to the statement, Victor Uwaifo placed our nation on the world map when he won the Gold Disc Record with his popular hit, Joromi.

"His contributions to nation building earned him the national merit honours of Member of the Order of the Niger (MON), the first musician in Nigeria to be so decorated.
"His versatility was further brought to bear as a commissioner in Edo state as well as a lecturer in the University of Benin, Edo State," the statement said.
He said despite his towering attainments, Uwaifo remained humble, accessible, selfless and always dedicated to service.
Ologbondiyan further said PDP was grieved that the legendary Nigerian left the stage at this time when the nation needs his wealth of experience, especially in mentoring the younger generation of Nigerians, is needed the most.

While oil prices fell slightly on Friday, they are still set to see a second week of gains as supply disruptions around the globe make the oil market look increasingly tight.
Crude oil fell slightly in early trading on Friday, but are still set to close out another week of gains, the second week in a row. The string of gains put an end to two months of losses and a significant dip in sentiment. The oil market is now two months away from seeing substantial supply losses from Iran due to sanctions. Indeed, the declines are already underway, raising concerns about market tightness.
Deadline on NAFTA. At the time of this writing, the U.S., Mexico and Canada were nearing a trilateral deal on NAFTA ahead of Friday's self-imposed deadline. The three countries are rushing to hammer out a deal in order to have enough time to pass the treaty before the change of administrations in Mexico as well as the potential loss of a Republican majority in the U.S. Congress after November's midterm elections. The negotiations come after the U.S. and Mexico announced a preliminary bilateral deal earlier this week. While details have not been disclosed, reports suggest that the revisions to NAFTA preserve the protections offered to the investments of oil and gas companies under the current treaty. There is a watering down of the investor-state dispute mechanism, but an exemption was made for oil and gas. The main focus of the overhaul is on agriculture and automobiles, so as long as a deal is reached, there likely won't be major changes for the energy industry.
Argentina's peso crashes. Argentina's peso fell 7.5 percent mid-week, with year-to-date losses topping 50 percent. The peso is now performing worse than Turkey's lira. Argentina's central bank hiked interest rates from 45 to 60 percent, an aggressive move made to defend the currency but will likely deepen the economic downturn. While this may seem like an isolated problem, the deeper and wider the currency turmoil spreads around the world, the more emerging market oil demand will have to be revised down.
Trans Mountain expansion put on ice. A Canadian court ruled that the federal government failed to consult with First Nations when it approved the Trans Mountain expansion pipeline, which would nearly triple the current system's throughput capacity to 890,000 bpd if completed. The pipeline has been critical to relieving midstream bottlenecks in Canada, but the latest ruling has halted construction indefinitely. The Canadian government can appeal to the Supreme Court or redo the consultation process with First Nations, but both avenues are lengthy and fraught with uncertainty. The pipeline likely won't be completed for years, if ever.
Iran complies with nuclear deal, but oil exports falling. The International Atomic Energy Agency said this week that Iran has continued to comply with the terms of the 2015 nuclear deal, despite the withdrawal of the U.S. from the accord. The IAEA said Iran was honoring its commitments to the deal – specifically, to limit stockpiles of nuclear materials and to grant access to IAEA inspectors. There were no areas in which Iran breached the deal. Nevertheless, the U.S. has stepped up confrontation, having added new demands earlier this year that few expect Iran would ever accept. As such, there is almost no chance of a de-escalation, which means Iran's oil exports are going to continue to fall. The WSJ reports that Iran's exports could fall by as much as 700,000 bpd in August, down to just 1.66 mb/d. By November, exports could dip below 0.8 mb/d.
Texas oil production fell in June. For the first time in 16 months, Texas' oil production fell year-on-year in June. State data finds that Texas' oil production fell to 98.9 million barrels in June, down 2 percent from the same month in 2017 and down 7 percent from the previous month. The sudden drop suggests that pipeline constraints are starting to impact production rates.
OPEC and non-OPEC look to formalize coordination. OPEC and non-OPEC countries are considering ways to formalize their cooperation later this year, eyeing a charter that would extend their coordination on stabilizing the oil market. Under the charter, ministers would meet once a year and technical experts would meet twice a year. The coalition would meet in Vienna and would be hosted by OPEC, but would remain a separate entity.
OPEC production rises despite Iran declines. OPEC production rose to its highest point this year in August, pushed up by a surge in output from Iraq and a restoration of production in Libya. OPEC production increased by 220,000 bpd in August, rising to 32.79 mb/d. Saudi Arabia added a modest 80,000 bpd, taking output up to 10.48 mb/d, after reducing its output in July.
Venezuela's exports could drop by a third because of tanker crash. Venezuela's oil exports could fall by a third in September due to a tanker collision at a terminal run by PDVSA. A Greek-flagged ship carrying naptha collided with the terminals south dock, according to Argus Media, which could reduce capacity of the terminal by up to 425,000 bpd in September. "But this assumes that PdV manages to repair and restart the dock operations by 30 September at the latest," a PDVSA terminal official told Argus.
California votes for 100 percent clean energy by 2045. California passed a bill this week that would require the state to reach carbon-free electricity by 2045. Notably, the legislation is technology neutral, meaning that as long as power generation does not emit greenhouse gas emission, it would qualify, allowing nuclear power to have a future (despite the poor long-term trends facing the nuclear industry). The bill could have ramifications far beyond the state. California is exploring the possibility of linking up its electricity grid with a collection of western states. More than that, as the fifth largest economy in the world, the legislation could drive faster technology change that may ultimately be felt around the world.
Mexico may halt oil auctions. Reuters reported this week that incoming Mexican president Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO) may cancel oil auctions indefinitely, rather than the previously reported two-year suspension. His policy team is also considering withdrawing from the IEA and moving closer to OPEC, although no decisions have been made.
Wyoming attracting oil industry interest. Oil companies are increasingly moving into the Powder River Basin as the Permian has become too crowded. Deal-making in Wyoming has been on the rise, Reuters reports. "There are a lot of similarities between where the Powder River is today and where the Permian Basin was just a few years ago," Edward Geiser, managing partner at Juniper Capital Advisors, told Reuters.
$8 billion in Brazil would boost production by 230,000 bpd by 2025. A new reportfrom Wood Mackenzie estimates that if the oil industry put $8 billion into the aging and declining Campos Basin in Brazil, production would not only stop falling but would rise by 230,000 bpd by 2025.


The culmination of any integrated watch manufacturer is to be able to equip its watches with exclusive movements made within its own ateliers. From self-winding chronograph movements to striking high-complication pieces and unique never-before-seen horological concepts, the traditional art of watchmaking is reinvented in a 21st century context within the walls of the Hublot manufacture.
A skeleton mechanical movement with manual winding and a 10-day power reserve.
The Unico boasts several unique features that make it a truly oustanding mechanical movement.
A wonderful demonstration of the principle of fusion between Tradition and Modernity.
Revisited a resolutely contemporary spirit.
The power of the double cathedral chime for an exceptional clarity of its tone.
The Alarm Repeater movement is the fusion of two functional complications: a mechanical alarm clock and a second time zone.
This proprietary movement is a traditional tourbillon, features a beautiful skeleton and a practical power reserve indicator.
Consisting of no less than 330 individually assembled components, the original Unico movement features an integrated flyback chronograph with a column-wheel mechanism positioned on the dial side of the movement; something of a rarity in the world of haute horlogerie. Since its creation, the Unico movement has also been made with additional functions and complications, including a world-time GMT and a patented bi-retrograde chronograph for timing football matches.
From the idea and the first pencil stroke, Hublot's micro-technology engineers and designers put together a dossier of plans that will be used to manufacture the components of a new movement.
It takes over 10 people across all fields to design and develop a bespoke Hublot movement.
It took a total of 2 years to design the Hublot Unico Flyback Chronograph movement.
The conception of a movement begins with an idea put onto paper in rough pencil sketches, with a clear vision in mind in terms of desired basic functions, complications and a general shape or aesthetic direction. Once the basic movement design is established, the micro-engineers and draftsmen put together a precise blueprint of the movement and its individual components, as well as the methodology for their production and assembly.

Religious Studies: Christianity
In the MA Christianity you will study various expressions of Christianity in past and present from a wide denominational and geographical perspective (both Western and 'global' Christianity). Christianity covers a wide variety of ideas, doctrines, ritual and artistic practices, ethical norms and forms of organisation. Strong areas of research in Leiden include: liberal movements in Protestantism, modernism and anti-modernism in the Roman Catholic world, religion and science, African and Chinese Christianity, as well as Eastern Christianity in historical and modern perspectives, both in the Middle East and in its western diaspora.
The focus of the track is on the interface between Christianity and the modern world. Major topics include conversion, inculturation, interreligious and interdenominational rivalries, 'church and state' and globalization, the interplay between fundamentalism, millenarianism, and liberalism, identity and migration. You will study the topics in their historical, cultural, social and theological contexts. Our programme will be tailor made according to your wishes, depending on the focus of your interest.

Dysautonomia refers to a disorder of the autonomic nervous system (ANS)--the main bodily system that controls organ function and involuntary actions of the body. The ANS controls heart rate, blood pressure, temperature, digestion, salivation, perspiration, pupil dilation/constriction, and other functions. Because of the wide range of functions controlled by the ANS, dysautonomia often leads to multiple symptoms throughout the body, some of which can be quite debilitating.
This condition is a type of dysautonomia. Normally, when a person stands, gravity pulls blood to the lower extremities. The nervous system senses this and sends a message to the blood vessels in the legs to constrict, sending more blood back to the heart and the head. In patients with POTS, this message to constrict the blood vessels does not get sent. Therefore, instead of the heart rate increasing by a normal 10 to 15 beats per minute upon standing, it increases by more than 30 beats and can even double.
Neurally Mediated Hypotension (NMH) occurs when peripheral blood vessels become dilated, causing low blood pressure (hypotension) and slowed heart rate (bradycardia). If severe enough NMH can lead to a loss of consciousness, or syncope. It is one of the most common causes of fainting.
Additional information can be found at the Dysautonomia Information Network (DINET).

We take a look at our data over the last four years to examine trends in gross rental yield.
When generating net yield, you'll need to take other expenses such as mortgage and rates into consideration.
With a decrease in the average three bedroom house price, we have seen an increase in the gross yield when compared to December 2016.
Barfoot & Thompson manages in excess of 6,400 three bedroom rental properties, which in December 2017 had an average per-week rent of $548. This is up 4% on the year before.
However, the average house price for the same period fell by 2% to $920,757.
Over the past several years, Barfoot & Thompson's average rental per week has increased at a steady rate of 4-6% per annum, whilst the average house price has shown much greater variances. The increase between 2014 and 2015 was 22%, and between 2015 and 2016 it was 11%.
December 2017's yield increased to 3.09%, up from 2.93% in December 2016. This brings it back in line with December 2015.

Aneeta Parmar once worked in finance straight out of university, where as a student, she specialized in economics. However, she was always interested in real estate — just admittedly too nervous to make the jump. But when Aneeta finally did, she never looked back.
Nowadays, as a realtor every bit as in tune with numbers and trends (because of her background in economics) as she is gifted with people and relationships (thanks to her experience in investor relations), Aneeta is often lauded by her clients for being honest, open and trustworthy. Simply put, she has a knack not just for making them feel special, but ensuring they're informed, relaxed and plain ol' having fun.
No, it's not the easiest hat trick to pull off, but Aneeta scores time in and time out by incorporating her own life into her business. The result? An experience that is comfortable and transparent from beginning to end. One that's inherently authentic.
"All you have to do is write one true sentence," the great Ernest Hemingway once said. "Write the truest sentence that you know." If any quote could accordingly illustrate Aneeta Parmar's genuine approach to the career she's chosen, let it be that.
