Arctic Wolf Networks 2020 Predictions: SMBs Beware - Everyone Will be a Target in 2020
Industry executives and experts share their predictions for 2020. Read them in this 12th annual VMblog.com series exclusive.
By Sam McLane, Chief Technology Services Officer at Arctic Wolf Networks
SMBs Beware - Everyone Will be a Target in 2020
Companies big and small face security challenges that threaten to uproot entire operations everyday. From ransomware and increased privacy litigation, to the risks of adopting a cloud based infrastructure, 2020 will undoubtedly usher in a new era of uncertainty that cyber professionals need to be prepared for.
Companies of all sizes will have a target on their backs heading into the new year, with these major threats and trends emerging as top concerns:
With the ransomware window possibly closing, hackers will loot organizations like kids attacking piñatas with baseball bats
With more than 600 ransomware attacks plaguing the industry in 2019, organizations will desperately adopt new tools and solutions in an effort to dodge the onslaught. However, adversaries will see the door closing, and a widespread free-for-all will break out before the current round of tools closes. Among the disarray, these hackers will do as much damage as possible in order to hold themselves over until the next backdoor is opened and they can clean out organizations once more.
More specifically, adversaries will place a large target on traditionally weaker environments with a lack of backup and restore procedures. Organizations such as hospitals, nursing homes, extended care facilities and the like will find themselves the victims of targeted attacks, and as long as they keep paying, the attacks will keep coming. With medication, confidential patient data and more at risk, the attacks will remain simple as adversaries will leverage scalable campaigns with seemingly reasonable requests that targeted organizations can justify paying due to the potentially dire implications of going unresolved.
Cyber concerns for small companies will outpace those by large enterprises for the first time
As the level of sophistication in ransomware attacks and breaches becomes increases, small companies will realize that they now also have targets on their backs. Breaches are steadily becoming inevitable, and the question will evolve from a matter of if to when. Events of the past year, such as the coordinated ransomware attacks across 22 Texas towns, undoubtedly caused a paradigm shift. The belief that companies with under 1,500 employees are safe because they're "too small" for attackers to care will go out the window, and customers will shift their focus to the solutions that most effectively detect, contain, and remediate to minimize the blast radius before too much damage is done.
Half-baked cloud adoption will cause organizations to self-sabotage security
Many organizations are stuck in various stages of hybrid cloud development. While their intentions to switch to the cloud mean well, these efforts can cause self-inflicted damage to their overall security posture without proper deployment. Throughout the day-to-day distractions, projects get put on hold and monitoring/response protocols do not get properly set up. Things like loose permissions, hard-coded or lost passwords, and configuration drift will migrate from on-premises to cloud environments. This leaves a big hole that brings direct linkage to connected devices, which will become especially threatening in 2020 as the 5G revolution continues to unfold. Organizations will need to prioritize cloud adoption before it's too late and they become the next Capital One.
The outputs of data privacy legislation will move from the state house to the courthouse
With the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and other data privacy legislation gaining traction, 2020 will start to see the consequences of these laws come to fruition. Previously, not enough litigation existed for there to be a firm understanding of what these industry standards will mean for practitioners, but as these regulations go into effect we will begin to see these cases fleshed out in court rooms. Judges and juries will be forced to interpret the written law, and what was once more an abstract set of guidelines will have real world consequences as precedents are set; case by case.
Cyberwarfare will become the battleground of 2020
As cyberattacks increasingly become the favored weapon for nation state threat actors, it's clear that cyber is quickly becoming the new frontier when it comes to international war games. As we've seen with the role its already played in elections and the rise of "fake news", it's apparent that cyberwarfare will be used more and more to replace traditional methods of conflict. Nation and state sponsored attacks, as well as cyber crimes, will continue to threaten aging infrastructures, trade deals, elections and more. In 2020, world leaders will have to evolve as methods of war shift from the battlefield to the cyber realm.

I was sent a small Callahan Auto Parts t-shirt from AW Fashions to review.
The price for this shirt is $15.95. Shipping is free with Amazon Prime.
This t-shirt arrived to me in great condition. It was shipped inside of a plastic bag, and it was folded very nicely.
You will also find a sewn-in care tag along with sizing information.
I love t-shirts. They are so fun, comfortable, and unique. I also like that (for the most part) the sizing is pretty unisex. I really, really wanted to review this shirt-- I don't typically go for the white tees, but I had to make an exception for this one. Who doesn't love the movie Tommy Boy?
I pulled the shirt from the packaging (and screw washing it first...I put this baby right on). But first, since I'm reviewing it...so...you know...I reviewed it.
The screen print is front and center. It's on there really well, and there aren't any blemishes or discolorations. It's perfectly centered.
The neck is a crew neck, and it's shaped well and has double layered material for additional wear durability.
The bottom is stitched under, meaning it gives you a nice finished edge and it has the durability of a dual-layer at the bottom. It makes it easy if you tug on it a little so it doesn't rip.
How awesome do I look? I love this shirt!
Perfectly sized and positioned screen print.
I haven't found any cons of this t-shirt.
This is a very nice shirt! As soon as I got it, I took it out of the package and I put it on. My husband said, "Isn't that the place from Tommy Boy?" I started laughing and said it was. I usually do not gravitate towards white t-shirts, but THIS was one that I couldn't pass up. The fit is great, too. I crossed my fingers and ordered the size that I typically wear, and I am very happy with the fit (even after I washed and dried it).
Sometimes ordering clothing online can be a little intimidating, but have no fear—this shirt came and was sized perfectly. I am female, and even though this says it's for men—ladies, you can wear it, too. I'm a jeans and t-shirt kind of gal and this is definitely one that I like…and I get a lot of compliments on. The print is quality and covers a nice portion of the front of the tee. The quality of the fabric is nice, too. It's thick, but it's not stiff. I am very happy with this and I definitely recommend it!

With Connecticut's reopening plan paused, here's a look at what's open and what's still closed
By Emily Brindley
Sonia Segarra stands for a temperature check by Jacob Drechsler, as Segarra and her daughter Aleida Lyon enter Lake Compounce Thursday, July 2, 2020, in Bristol. (Kassi Jackson/The Hartford Courant)
With coronavirus cases spiking in some parts of the country. Gov. Ned Lamont announced Monday that he's pausing Connecticut's reopening plan and maintaining the current rules indefinitely, instead of moving on to the next phase of reopening.
Lamont's move was in lockstep with neighboring state New Jersey, where Gov. Phil Murphy also paused his reopening plan after the state's rate of coronavirus transmission jumped up. Connecticut has seen no such jump — for weeks, the state has seen a steady decline in COVID-19 hospitalizations and new cases.
But with states such as Arizona, Florida and Texas spiking, Lamont said Monday that Connecticut is "erring on the side of caution." The state had already created a list of states from which travelers must self-quarantine after arriving in Connecticut — and on Tuesday, Connecticut added three more state to that list, for a total of 19.
[ Daily coronavirus updates: Lamont to delay third phase of reopening; hospitalizations decrease over weekend as positive tests remain scarce; state hits contact tracing mark ]
But for everyone in Connecticut, whether they've traveled recently or not, the state's message of caution now also means that the reopening will not move forward as planned. Initially, Lamont had planned to move the state into the third phase on July 20. The third phase is likely to reopen bars and indoor venues, as well as expand the capacity of outdoor venues.
Lamont has not said when the third phase may begin, although some gathering restrictions have already been eased. Here's what's open and closed now, under Lamont's "paused" reopening.
Outdoor dining, which has been allowed since the first phase began on May 20, is still permitted so long as eateries follow certain restrictions such as thorough cleaning and properly spaced tables.
Indoor dining is also still permitted, but restaurants must keep their dining areas at no more than 50% capacity.
Although eateries are allowed to serve alcoholic beverages at table seating, they are not allowed to open their bar areas. Breweries, if they serve food, are permitted to open under the same rules as restaurants.
All bars, including bars inside restaurants and hotels, are required to remain closed during the reopening pause.
On Monday, Lamont said that bars are of particular concern, as other states have struggled to enforce safety measures in bars and states such as Arizona and Texas have re-closed all bars after initially reopening them.
In Michigan, the governor closed indoor bars in some parts after the state, after one bar became the hub for at least 140 coronavirus cases, The Associated Press reported. And a recent ranking from the Texas Medical Association placed "going to a bar" as the highest-risk activity for COVID-19 exposure.
Concerts and other events
Connecticut eased some of its gathering restrictions on July 3, just in time for Fourth of July fireworks. Those new guidelines, put in place between the second and third phases, will remain in place through the paused reopening.
Private gatherings are capped at 25 people indoors or 100 people outdoors, while organized outdoor gatherings such as fireworks and concerts can include up to 500 people. Those large outdoor events, however, must have at least 15 feet between each group of people.
And outdoor venues that have fire codes, such as race tracks and ampitheaters, must cap their audiences at 50% capacity.
[ When will concerts return to Connecticut? Phase 3 OKs live music with unknown limitations ]
Indoor concerts or events such as plays are still not permitted. Lamont and his administration have indicated that indoor venues would be allowed to open in the third phase, the Courant previously reported, although massive venues such as the XL Center are not likely to be given the green light.
State parks and state beaches are open and will remain open, although visitors must social distance and bring their own water. Visitors at beaches must also stay 15 feet away from other groups of people. The state also closed some state parks, including Kent Falls and Seaside in Waterford, after social distancing concerns.
The state park campgrounds will fully reopen on Wednesday.
Some town beaches have reopened, while others are closed or only partially open. More information on town beaches can be found on the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection website.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also recommend that residents avoid crowded parks and stay home if they are sick.
Gyms, fitness centers and pools reopened in the second phase, which began June 17, and will be allowed to remain open during the pause. Under the state's guidelines, gyms must follow safety protocols such as spreading out workout equipment, requiring customers to bring their own water bottles and cleaning shared equipment after every use. Gyms are also required to cap their workout spaces and indoor classes at 50% capacity.
Salons and barbershops
Hair salons and barbershops, which were allowed to open at the beginning of June, will remain open under their current restrictions — customers must be seen by appointment only, waiting rooms must remain closed and both the customers and the employees must wear masks.
Similarly, personal services such as nail salons and spas can remain open at 50% capacity and by appointment only. Any personal service that requires a customer to remove their mask is not yet permitted.
Connecticut reopened non-essential retail stores and malls in the first phase, which began May 20. Those will remain open during the pause, although customers and employees are still required to social distance and wear masks.
The state's retail guidelines don't specify the maximum customer capacity for retail stores, but the state is limiting most businesses to 50% capacity.
Office spaces have been allowed to reopen at 50% capacity since the first phase, which began May 20. But Lamont and his team have consistently said that employees should only return to the office if absolutely necessary and that all workers should continue to work from home at this time.
Lamont and his administration released a school reopening plan at the end of June, and that plan so far appears to be unaffected by the paused reopening.
[ 'It was 50 pages of fluff': From wearing masks to no temperature checks some Connecticut educators concerned about school reopening the fall amid coronavirus ]
The plan calls for public schools to fully reopen in the fall, but with some significant changes. The plan recommends that students remain six feet apart at all times, that staff clean classroom furniture multiple times per day and that students eat lunch in their classrooms instead of a cafeteria. Students and staff will also be required to wear masks throughout the day.
After the initial announcement, Lamont and education commissioner Miguel Cardona released a more detailed set of reopening guidelines, but educators have criticized the plan as non-specific and overly expensive.

Vera Bock (4 April 1905 – 2006) was a Russian Empire-born artist who spent most of her career in the United States. She is known for her book illustrations and for the posters she made for the Works Progress Administration during the Great Depression.

Life

Vera Bock was born in Saint Petersburg, Russian Empire on 4 April 1905.
Her father was an American banker and her mother was a Russian concert pianist.
During the Russian Revolution her family fled to the United States by way of Siberia, China and Japan.
They reached San Francisco in 1917.
Bock later studied in Switzerland and England.
She was trained in painting and drawing, and spent a year in England studying woodcutting, manuscript illumination, printing and photogravure.

Bock may be best known for her children's book illustrations.
Her first book illustrations were published in 1929 in Waldemar Bonsels's The Adventures of Maya the Bee and Ella Young's The Tangle-Coated Horse and Other Tales.
The latter book was reviewed for the Newbery Medal in 1930, and was retroactively given Honor Book status in 1938.
The Kerlan Collection of Children's Literature at the University of Minnesota holds many of Bock's illustrations.

Bock designed posters for the Federal Art Project of the Works Progress Administration during the Great Depression.
She worked for the New York City poster division from 1936 to 1939.
Bock's bold Art Deco posters advertised art exhibitions and theater performances, and encouraged activities like travel, exercise, community events, educational programs, writing letters, and saving trees.
Her silkscreen posters have a distinctive appearance similar to woodblocks, dominated by strong solid forms that often show a Germanic influence.
She made a series of posters, History of Civic Services, which are reminiscent of the forms she often used in children's books.

During the 1940s Bock worked as an illustrator for Life and Coronet.
Her work was shown in exhibitions at the New York Public Library (1942), Art Directors Club of New York (1946), Pierpont Morgan Library (International Exhibition of Illustrated Books, 1946), and New York Public Library (Ten Year's of American Illustration, 1951).

Bock retired to Lincolnville, Maine.
She married George Kaestlin late in her life and moved to Switzerland.  While living there, she worked with a non-profit restoring damaged buildings in Florence, Italy. Bock retired to Zurich, Switzerland.
Vera Bock Kaestlin died in 2006.

Dual Derby winner to run at Dowdallshill
There's a big chance the best 3-year-old colt seen in this country and the one closest to it last season will be in action at Dundalk Stadium this Friday night.
Crack Irish trainer, Aidan O'Brien, is preparing Camelot for the big Breeders' Cup meeting in America next month, and has still to decide if he'll give the thoroughbred a race at Ascot on Saturday, or in the featured Carlingford Stakes at Dowdallshill the evening before.
Those with only a passing interest in horse racing will know that Camelot won last year's 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket and then added the Epsom Derby and a few weeks later.
After that he won Ireland's premier Classic to his laurels, ploughing through the mud at The Curragh to justify odds-on favouritism.
He was primed for the St Leger at Doncaster, for which he was quoted odds-on. Had he succeeded that day he'd have become the first since the great Nijinsky to complete the Triple Crown. Perhaps showing the effects of a strenuous outing on Irish Derby day, Camelot, ridden, as always, by Joseph O'Brien, found one too good for him in Encke, running for Ballydoyle's great rivals, Godolphin.
Camelot has been kept in training as a 4-year-old, and so far has shown himself to be back to his very best.
If he's directed towards the 'Hill on Friday night, there's no reason for horse racing's followers not to get along in huge numbers to see him run.
Yes, the race will be covered by ATR, the dedicated racing channel, but there is really nothing better than to be there to see a superstar in the flesh. Keep an eye on the entries.

Cutting Back on Fraud: The Enforcement of UAE Judgments in India
On the 17th January 2020, the Ministry of Law and Justice in India declared the UAE as a "Reciprocating Territory" for the purposes of enforcing civil decrees or UAE court judgments related to money and other civil matters, under the Indian Civil Procedure Code of 1908. This is a highly progressive step in the administration of justice across the two countries, and a recognition of the accountability, reliability and fairness of the UAE system in enforcing foreign judgments. The important factor denoted in this development is that the government of India will now allow the enforcement of UAE court judgments in the district courts of India. This extends to enforcing judgments against properties, assets, and the imprisonment of debtors located in India whom are subject to legal action in the UAE. The tide changing implications to the administration of justice, and particularly the prevention of international fraud, are viewed and explained below.
Under international law, the legal concept of "comity" stipulates that most courts will enforce foreign judgments if they are not incongruent with local laws, domestic policy, or principles of equity in general. However, this concept can lead to a vague interpretation by courts, and a myriad number of questions can present themselves at the trial level of enforcement if there is no clear direction for the interpretation of this principle under domestic law. For example, the ability of a party to raise a defence against the judgment in court after the issues have already been litigated in the foreign judgment; the effect on public policy decisions and how they are to be analysed under this doctrine; and, since this is a legal "principle" what would the basis for enforcement be if there is no formal written policy in place to mandate enforcement by the government?
The lack of any clear direction on foreign judgments can create a "fraud gap," where fraudsters can target jurisdictions without enforcement mechanisms in place for foreign judgments. For example, such individuals may enter into transactions with local businesses, and engage in various types of misrepresented business deals. Once the fraud is complete, and money is extracted through dubious means, the fraudster can then retreat to their home country, relying on the absence of an enforcement mechanism therein for any court proceedings brought in the jurisdiction where the fraud was conducted. When the victims attempt to recover funds, the legal expenses, length of time, and the lack of clarity on how courts in the two jurisdictions can cooperate to administer justice, could halt the recovery process before it has even begun.
The declaration by the Indian government, with respect to the UAE, naming the country as a "reciprocating territory," is an explicit endorsement of the principle of comity in effect between the two countries. It means that the Indian government has now officially declared that under its civil procedure code, judgments rendered in the UAE are enforceable in India, due to the fact that the UAE also enforces Indian court judgments within its borders. In the example given above, any fraudulent Indian company who now seeks to retreat to India after completing illegal activities or breaching agreements in the UAE, will now be unable to evade their misdeeds in India. Any court action beginning in the UAE, can now officially be completed in India, with the district courts under the instruction to enforce UAE judgments in full, without hearing a defence against such judgments in the Indian courts.
The only conditions under which a district court may not accept a judgment rendered in the UAE arise under the following conditions:
(a) where the decree has not been pronounced by a Court of competent jurisdiction;
(b) where the decree has not been given on the merits of the case;
(c) where the decree appears on the face of the proceedings to be founded on an incorrect view of international law or a refusal to recognize the law of [India] in cases which such law is applicable;
(d) where the proceedings in which the decree was obtained are opposed to natural justice;
(e) where it has been obtained by means of fraud;
(f) where it sustains a claim founded on a breach of any law in force in India.
As can be seen above, these conditions of refusal are generally based on issues related to conflicts between UAE and Indian/international laws or principles of justice. Otherwise, a district court cannot re-examine issues in India, which have already been resolved through the judgment of a UAE court. These exceptions will also require proof, that such decrees conflict with Indian law, or that there was some fraud or extreme error in pronouncing the judgment.
To begin the process of enforcement, a plaintiff in India must file an execution application in the relevant district court, along with a certified copy of the UAE court judgment. In addition, it is important for the advocate hired to have a clear understanding of both the Indian legal system and the laws of the UAE, to be prepared for any objections to enforcement. Finally, to successfully manage cross border claims, a firm with an international network will be required, to provide a full suite of services in your recovery.

THE LIFE, THOUGHT, AND LEGACY OF CAPE VERDE'S FREEDOM FIGHTER AMILCAR CABRAL (1924-1973):
Essays on His Liberation Theology
For most liberation movements, the primary vehicle has historically been an armed struggle. This was true for the American Revolution, and is true for the various independent movements that campaigned against foreign rule in Africa, Asia and Latin America. Seldom has a liberation movement given primacy to theory over military confrontation. Amilcar Cabral was, however, an exception to this rule. While Cabral did not totally eschew armed insurgency, he campaigned fervently to hinge the liberation of Cape Verde and Guinea Bissau on philosophical underpinnings. Arguing for what he describes as the "weapon of theory," Amilcar Cabral, founder of the African Party for the Independence of Cape Verde and Guinea (PAIGC) and a major figure in the struggle against Portuguese colonial rule in Africa, highlights the pivotal role of culture in national liberation and nation building. This book is the product of a collection of scholars who have come together to interpret, synthesize and give new meaning to the life and philosophy of Amilcar Cabral. While the focus here is on Cabral and his thoughts, the lesson, like all philosophical lessons, is universal and immortal. For any people victimized by oppression, there is an alternative to armed conflict. Cabral informs us that that alternative is "the weapon of theory."

We talk to a lot of HR people each month. One conversation that comes up again and again is around what software vendors to use for a given problem (new ATS, HRIS, etc), and general frameworks for buying HR software.
Test it: There is a new movement in software, and it's called product led growth. A lot of companies are allowing buyers to use part of their solution before purchasing the entire thing. It's very similar to the freemium model. The bottom line is that buyers can get a sense for whether the solution is right for them or not before they go all in. For some things, like a new HRIS, it's hard to test software in a lean way. But, for a talent community or chatbot, it's actually quite simple!
Qualify Vendors: Vendors qualify you. They ask if you have budget, what your timeline is, etc. You should qualify vendors. Ask the 3 key questions first, before spending 1-2 hours on a demo. Take control of the buying process to save yourself time.
Senior buy in: Get a champion on the exec team to back your initiative so that when you are ready to pull the trigger on the right vendor, it moves forward quickly. If you can't get full buy in, understand what leadership needs to see in a plan to get them excited.
Goals: Make sure your initiative aligns with goals that are measurable and relate to ROI for the business. So many times we see people that are working on projects and don't have a clear sense how these projects will impact the business itself.
Shiny Objects: If you're like me, you like new stuff! Don't go chasing shiny objects just because they are new and exciting. Let the hype cycle / puppy love wear off before you make a buying decision, or else you run the risk of buying something that will damage your internal credibility, plus waste your time/money.


Tencent, a minority shareholder in Flipkart, hold around five percent share of the company.
US-based retail giant Walmart Inc has said that Flipkart's minority share holder Tencent would have the first "right to purchase" if any shareholder of Indian e-commerce firm sells "any shares or other equity securities to Alibaba".
Flipkart's investor would have to give " written notice of at least five business days prior" to Tencent for such transfer or sale of share, according to the share issuance and acquisition agreement filed by Walmart with the US Security and Exchange Commission.
"No change of control sale or drag-along sale to Alibaba shall be effected (each an Alibaba Transfer), unless Tencent shall have been given written notice of at least five business days prior to the consumption of such transaction...," said the agreement between Wal-Mart International Holding Inc and Flipkart.
Walmart had said Friday that it has complied with the tax obligations of its $16 billion acquisition of Flipkart but did not say the quantum of taxes it paid.
On August 18, Walmart Inc had announced to complete its deal with Flipkart and now holds 77% stake in the Indian e-commerce major.
It has asked Walmart International Holdings Inc to file its reply before it by September 20, 2018.

Clear Channel Independent (Pty) Ltd has announced that it has recently disposed of its outdoor trading operations in Kenya and Cameroon.
Says Russell Willey, Managing Director of CCI Africa, our Board took a view that neither our operations in Kenya or Cameroon remained core to our key objectives of growing sustainable long-term outdoor businesses in sub-Saharan Africa. The operation in Cameroon was very small and did not provide the critical mass required within a normal outdoor advertising business to add value to CCI's ongoing commitment to this market. The growth and future success of our operation in Kenya has been plagued with frustration emanating from the apparent state of chaos that exists within the Nairobi City Council over its inept management of the appropriate legislation to equally protect all participants within the outdoor advertising industry. As a multinational investor and employer in Kenya, we have now adopted a more cautious approach to doing business in the country and for the foreseeable future, do not see the current status quo, sufficiently supporting our continued presence in the country. In light of these reasons, the recent disposal of our business interests in Kenya has now been concluded.
Willey further comments that CCI remains fully committed to its remaining investments in sub-Saharan Africa and will aggressively pursue expansion into new markets where and when such opportunities present themselves and offer to shareholders, an acceptable return on their investment versus the risks involved within an acceptably regulated operating environment.

Science & Writing (Ernst Mayr)
Ernst Mayr Biography
Recorded: 31 Mar 2002
Let me first stay that how to write was certainly very much stressed in German schools. And I think that's where I learned how to write. Later on when I had students including something like 17 or 18 or 19 Ph.D.s—whenever they would send me a paper, a draft of a paper, or part of a paper, or something like that, the greatest amount of work I always had was straightening out their English.
I had only one student and his name was John Alcock, who has written actually some natural history books for the public, who could really write. All the others just didn't know how to write. I don't know, I should probably say they should go back to school, but obviously there were in school and didn't learn it—so I don't how they learn it.
You have to just consult a person who knows how to write. Now a person like S. Jay Gould, Steve Gould—he knows how to write, but…the majority of people—I had one student, I won't mention his name, who's published for something like thirty years now or so, and he still doesn't know how to write. The stuff you read it and try to figure out what does it really mean!
I wouldn't be able to speak so fluently into your microphone when you ask me a question—I mean I don't hem and haw. I don't start all over again. I have fully formed sentence, that is in my brain and comes right out. So I don't find writing difficult, but the first version—all my writing is done by dictating into a tape recorder. And then with the modern word processor I get the product—and I make all the corrections and then the second time, I convert it into the second version.
I have a paper there on the table, which I hope to finish maybe in the next ten days and this is the tenth version of this paper. So in spite of the fact that I can write well, and I still constantly polish, move paragraphs around, have some new ideas, stick them in still, find out if I stuck them in at the wrong place, and shift it to another place. So my writing is a combination of clear thinking and constant attention to the detail.
I write two or three letters practically every day. I'm one of the last survivors, a living fossil of the letter world. But I don't write literary things.
Ernst Mayr has been universally acknowledged as the leading evolutionary biologist of the twentieth century. He earned his Ph.D. in ornithology at the age of 21 from the University of Berlin in 1926. During his tenure at the Berlin Museum, from 1926 to 1930, Mayr led ornithological expeditions to Dutch New Guinea and German Mandated New Guinea. In 1931, he was hired by the American Museum of Natural History, Department of Ornithology. During his 20-year AMNH tenure, Dr. Mayr described 26 new bird species and 410 subspecies, more than any other living avian systematist.
In 1953, Mayr became Alexander Agassiz Professor of Zoology at Harvard University's Museum of Comparative Zoology, and served as Director of the Museum (1961-1970). He has published hundreds of papers and eight books, including Systematics and the Origin of Species (1942), which became a landmark of evolutionary biology.
Mayr has been honored with more than 25 major scientific awards and honors and many honorary degrees, including the National Medal of Science (1970), the Balzan Prize in Biology (1983) and the Crafoord Prize of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences (1999) with John Maynard Smith and George C. Williams "for their fundamental contributions to the conceptual development of evolutionary biology."
In 1995, Harvard's Library of the Museum of Comparative Zoology was rededicated as the Ernst Mayr Library of the Museum of Comparative Zoology. Mayr has been a longtime friend and mentor to Jim Watson.

While New Jersey has long been considered progressive in preserving and protecting the employment rights of its citizens (see last year's Pay Equity and Paid Sick Leave Laws), current activity in the Legislature and Governor's office relating to laws impacting the workplace is at an all-time high. The following is a summary of several new and proposed laws that potentially impact every worker and employer throughout the state.
On February 4, 2019, Governor Phil Murphy signed legislation to increase New Jersey's minimum wage to $15.00 per hour for most employees by 2024. Currently, New Jersey's minimum wage is $8.85 per hour. Under the new law, the minimum wage will increase to $10.00 per hour on July 1, 2019, $11.00 on January 1, 2020, and it will increase $1.00 on January 1 of each proceeding year until $15.00 is reached on January 1, 2024.
The minimum wage for small employers with less than six employees and for seasonal workers will increase at a different rate and will reach $15.00 an hour in 2026. The minimum wage for farm workers will increase to $12.50 by 2024.
New Jersey joins California, Massachusetts, New York City, and Washington, D.C., all of which have passed legislation increasing the minimum wage to $15.00 per hour.
Legislation awaits Governor Murphy's signature which would significantly increase the benefits currently available under New Jersey's Family Leave Act ("FLA") and Paid Family Leave Insurance ("FLI").
Under Senate Bill No. 2528, total FLI benefits would increase from six weeks to twelve weeks. Weekly benefits payable under FLI would increase from the higher of two-thirds of an employee's weekly wage or $633 to the higher of 85 percent of the employee's weekly wage or $859. All of the costs for FLI will continue to be borne exclusively by employees through payroll deductions. The one-week waiting period currently required before FLI benefits are paid would also be eliminated. Intermittent FLI days would be increased to 56 days.
Somewhat lost in all the press given to the potential increase in FLI benefits is the bill's impact on FLA. This law, like the federal Family and Medical Leave Act, provides for 12 weeks of protected leave for the birth or adoption of a child or to attend to a sick family member. Currently, the FLA applies to employers with 50 or more employees. The bill reduces this threshold number to 30 employees. In addition, coverage for "family members" under the FLA, FLI, and New Jersey's Safe Act would be expanded to include siblings, grandparents, grandchildren, in-laws, and others related by blood or in a relationship equivalent to a family relationship.
New Jersey's plant closure law (The Millville Dallas Airmotive Plant Job Loss Notifications Act) is similar in many respects to the federal plant closing law, WARN. Both laws apply to employers with 100 or more employees and require 60 days' advance notice of a plant closure or mass layoff. New Jersey's law also provides that employees be paid a week of severance pay for each year of service if their employer fails to give the required 60-day notice. A proposed bill that has passed in the New Jersey Senate would radically expand the state plant closing law.
Senate Bill No. 3170 would increase the notice period for covered plant closings, employment transfers, or mass layoffs from 60 days to 90 days. It also mandates severance pay of one week of pay per year of service, regardless of whether proper notification is provided to employees. Employers who fail to provide the required 90 days of notice, however, will be required to pay each affected employee an additional four weeks of severance pay.
The bill also addresses businesses that change ownership through a change of control or bankruptcy filing. In such cases, the successor employer must retain employees at their current compensation levels for at least 180 days following the change of control, unless a reduction in the workforce is approved by the Commission of Labor.
Senate Bill No. 545 was passed in the Senate last year and is now up for hearing in the Assembly. This bill prohibits employers from requiring credit checks on current employees or job applicants unless required to do so by law or the employer believes the employee has engaged in activity that is financial in nature and against the law. It also prohibits discrimination based upon information that is obtained from a credit report.
Is a law enforcement officer for a law enforcement agency in this state or governmental or non-governmental security personnel, including security personnel in homeland security agencies.
Last but not least, we await the final rules on the New Jersey Paid Sick Leave Act. The New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development had a public hearing on the proposed new rules on November 13, 2018, and written comments were accepted by the Department until December 14, 2018. The issuance of final rules, which hopefully will address many unanswered questions about this important law, should be forthcoming in the near future.
As you can see, New Jersey's lawmakers have been very busy. As always, we will keep you posted on any developments with these new or pending laws. If you have any questions about this post or any other related matters, please contact me at ptcollins@norris-law.com.

Kathryn Whitney
Project Director, Instructor in Voice & German diction
Singer Dr Kathryn Whitney is the creator and Director of the Schöne Müllerin Project, the latest in a series of exploratory solo and collaborative song performance workshops and courses that she has led at various conservatoires and universities in the UK and Canada. Kathryn will provide solo studio coaching to the singers as well as ensemble coaching to the singer-pianist duos on the Schöne Müllerin Project, and she will give masterclasses, lectures, workshops, and provide German diction and poetry performance coaching to the singers, pianists, and auditors on the course.
Kathryn's previous song projects include a three-year term as artist in residence at Oxford University (Wolfson Creative Arts Fellow, 2002-2005), where she completed a nine-concert exploration of English and German song and poetry, and a two-year period as artist in residence at the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama (Walton Fellow, 2009-2011), where she gave workshops and masterclasses to undergraduate and postgraduate singers and performed a series of concerts of the complete songs of British composer William Walton in Wales and Italy. She was Artistic Director of the inaugural reflective song performance project of the SongArt group, the Winterreise Project, and its successor, the Dichterliebe Project, which took place in Canada in 2015 and 2016.
In 2010, Kathryn joined both the Voice Faculty at the Victoria Conservatory of Music and the Institute of Musical Research, London, where she was Associate Fellow until 2015 and where she is Co-Director of the SongArt Performance Research Group, a cross-disciplinary collaborative performance group supported jointly by the Royal College of Music, the Royal Central School of Speech & Drama, and the School of Advanced Study, University of London. Together with her SongArt Co-directors Amanda Glauert and Paul Alan Barker, Kathryn has overseen six experimental song performance events in London since 2010, including a workshop on Mignon settings presented in collaboration with the Schubert Institute, UK. In 2012, she was a Visiting Fellow at the AHRC Centre for Music Performance as Creative Practice, with whom she sang a series of song recitals exploring the effect of live vs. video-recorded performance on audiences in association with a team of colleagues in psychology and musicology led by Daniel Leech-Wilkinson at King's College, London.
Kathryn was trained at the Victoria Conservatory of Music, and went on to gain advanced degrees in music, German language, music aesthetics, and singing performance from the University of Toronto (BA), Oxford University (MPhil & DPhil), and the Guildhall School of Music & Drama in London (PGDip Performance). A specialist in art song performance with an active repertoire of over 450 songs, she has performed for numerous recital series in Canada and abroad, including at St John's Smith Square, London, the Oxford Lieder Festival, the Rolston Recital Hall, Banff, and the Regina Musical Club. Her recent song performance projects and recital tours have been funded by the BC Arts Council, the Canada Council for the Arts, the Arts Council of England, and the Ralph Vaughan Williams Trust, among many others. Kathryn's studies of the song repertoire includes work with many experts, including Rudolf Jansen, Elly Ameling, Susan McCulloch, and Robin Bowman. A champion of new music, she has premiered over 50 songs and song cycles in both the UK and Canada, the majority written for her voice. Prior to beginning work as a performer and performance studies researcher, Kathryn taught music history and aesthetics at Oxford University for 12 years, with concurrent appointments at Cambridge at the Royal Academy of Music in England.
Kathryn's other musical passions include early music and choral singing. In addition to her work as a clinician for the British Columbia Choral Federation, she is the lead instructor on the adult soloists stream of the biennial Summer Academy Oratorio Program, Co-Artistic Director (together with Brian Wismath) of the biennial Summer Academy Choral Program, and the Director of the Solfa Chamber Choir Workshops, all housed at the Victoria Conservatory of Music in Canada.
Kathryn is hugely excited about the interesting possibilities for performance exploration and knowledge exchange promised by this song project, and she hopes all amateur singers and pianists, as well as music-lovers, in Victoria and the surrounding areas will consider joining us and sharing their musical insights and experiences.

Take Tuesday: The World Series Was Rigged – My Column
by new media director · November 3, 2016
Arthur W Mueller
By now, you probably have been told that the Cubs won the World Series, but do you know the full story? Major League Baseball rigged the World Series in favor of the Cubs so they could capitalize off the storyline they created and punish Cleveland for threatening Marlins Man so he couldn't attend game seven. Unfortunately for whoever baseball's Adam Silver is, I'm seeing right through it folks. In the game, Cleveland was making a comeback. JR Smith took his shirt off. Cleveland tied the game and was ready to go for the kill when the umpires decided to stop the game for rain. This changed the momentum of the game and allowed the Cubs to regroup and win. I've seen this move before. In Super Bowl XLVII, the NFL cut the power to the Super Dome to allow the San Francisco 49ers to come back and make the Super Bowl exciting to get better ratings. Also, since when do we stop sports for a little bit of rain? I've never seen an NBA game get delayed for weather. There wasn't any lightning in the area. It seems as if there is something fishy here going on with this whole "rain delay." I think Major League Baseball made this all up so that the Cubs would win the World Series. Now here is where things get really interesting. The Cubs winning means that Donald Trump is going to win the election on Tuesday. Just connect the dots. The Cubs haven't won a World Series in a long time, while Donald Trump has never held public office. The Cubs' owner is funding a pro-Trump SuperPAC. There were pro-Trump protesters at Wrigley Field earlier in the World Series. That dork Nate Silver linked them together. Most importantly, the only thing that would be more unusual historically than Trump winning the election is the Cubs winning the World Series. The results of the World Series tell us that Donald Trump is going to win and there is nothing you can do about it except getting out and voting on Tuesday, November 8. If enough people go out and vote for Hillary Clinton then Donald Trump will not be the next President, but if that doesn't happen, the result of the World Series will mean that Donald Trump is our next President.
Fun Fact of the Week
The Chicago Cubs have only won one World Series in the past 108 years.
Wow. What a bunch of losers.
0-16 Watch
Cleveland sucks again so it looks like the Browns are probably going 0-16.
If the Season Ended Today
It's late enough in the NFL season that we can make projections about what would happen if the season ended today. Here is my projection: If the season ended today, the NFL would miss out on all of the revenue from the rest of the season and that would make Roger Goodell unhappy.
Tweet of the Week
With all of this "baseball" talk, let's not forget about the best thing Chicago has given the world.
Eleven Things I Think Because I'm Smarter Than Peter King
1.	I am under attack from a billionaire named Peter Thiel. He didn't specifically attack me; he said that "single digit millionaires" don't have access to America's legal system because they can't afford to pursue frivolous lawsuits. As a single digit millionaire, I am offended that he would doubt me. Any regular reader of this column will know that I have no problem pursuing ridiculous things at great length.
2.	Now, back to sports, where Rob Gronkowski scored his 69th career touchdown. Gronk might already be the greatest tight end in NFL history, although Tony Gonzalez (people forget that he used to play basketball) might have something to say about that. It's great to see Gronk reach a career milestone that clearly means a lot to him. The most exciting thing for him is that he has one rushing touchdown in his career, so while last week's touchdown marked his 69th career touchdown, his next receiving touchdown will be his 69th career receiving touchdown, so we can do this all over again.
3.	The Bills might have the best fans in football. Last week, the Bills lost 41-25, but the real loser in the game was the referee who had to remove an adult toy that had been thrown on the field. I don't know of anything that shows a respect for the shield like throwing an adult toy on the field. The Bills are definitely going far this season.
4.	Pitt lost to Virginia Tech last Thursday and so they probably won't be nationally relevant for the rest of this season. Unless, wait, what is that you say? Riff Raff shouts out Tony Dorsett on his new album "Balloween!" Pitt is back!
5.	The college football playoff committee has Texas A&M ranked at #4, despite their 19 point loss to Alabama. I think that a game against Alabama is such a quality loss that it's better than a win vs. another team. If only Pitt could schedule Alabama, that loss would give us such a great resume. We'd probably be ranked.
6.	I knew that Cleveland was doomed the moment Marlins Man wasn't able to attend game seven because of threats made by Cleveland fans. Marlins Man is beloved by baseball fans everywhere for his hilarious antics like taking selfies behind home plate during baseball games. You don't mess with Marlins Man and expect to win a World Series.
7.	There's nothing that makes me happier than sitting down at night and watching Vines of NBA highlights. Wait, Twitter is killing Vine? NOOOOOOOOOOOO! Even if Twitter kills Vine, something will probably replace it. Twitter could also see the public reaction to the elimination of Vine and decide to keep it. Either way, I will still be able to see highlights from around the association.
8.	A conspiracy theory is that Twitter is killing Vine to make the NFL happy. Twitter broadcasts the NFL's atrocious Thursday Night Football games. The NFL hates it when people watch NFL highlights, so much so that they banned NFL teams from posting highlights on Twitter. Maybe the NFL is behind the death of Vine?
9.	Speaking of Thursday Night Football, we got our annual Jaguars-Titans nationally televised color rush game last week. I think this game is great because it is so well branded. Every single viewer tuning in is expecting terrible football. This is probably the only NFL game of the year that cannot be a disappointment because there are no expectations.
10.	Can you say Russell Westbrook for MVP? He has scored at least 30 points in all of his games and he could end up averaging a triple double this season. The Thunder are a real threat to the Warriors in the Western Conference.
11.	Congratulations to my favorite Japanese baseball team, the Nippon Ham Fighters on their NPB championship.
Closing Limerick
Back to NFL Football, it sucks
Color Rush is fancy like a tux
Oh what will it take?
To keep me awake
And watch all of Falcons versus Bucs

Jonathan Llyr (born 1966) is a Canadian actor and TV personality.

Llyr (sometimes credited as Jonathan Bryn Llyr) is best known for his work as an on-air personality for Space, Canada's science fiction specialty channel. He first appeared on that network in 1998 on its late-night movie interstitial program, SpaceBar, as the alien barfly and ultimate Star Trek fan, Grot. During the show's final year, Llyr also assumed writing duties, after fellow cast member and head writer Denis McGrath left the series.

After SpaceBar'''s 2002 cancellation, Llyr transferred to hosting Space's new entertainment news program, HypaSpace. He remained as host until 2005, when he was succeeded by actress Kim Poirier. Llyr stayed on as one of HypaSpace's reporters, and fronted his own weekly segment, "The Scoop", an often tongue-in-cheek look at strange celebrity and science fiction media news items of the week. Llyr also hosted the weekly audio podcast version of HypaSpace, and the network's annual Spacey Awards for science fiction and fantasy television and film.

For several years during his time at Space, Llyr also introduced films on Space's sister station, Drive-In Classics, this time as the character of Drive-In Dick. Again, Llyr had writing duties for these segments.

Llyr was also a founding member of the Toronto, Ontario, based Shakespearean theatre company, The Tempest Theatre Group, (where he played a variety of roles including Hamlet, MacBeth, Marc Antony and Iago among many others) and has appeared in various episodes of the Decoder Ring Theatre  including a number of different roles in The Red Panda Adventures and as the titular character in Deck Gibson, Far Reach Commander.

On May 1, 2008, Llyr and several colleagues launched their own podcast project, "Hardcore Nerdity".

In 2013 Llyr guested on the television show "Nikita" and in 2014 appeared as Mick O'Shea in four episodes of Murdoch Mysteries.

Llyr  also co-wrote the acclaimed middle-grade novel How to Curse in Hieroglyphics (2013) with Lesley Livingston. The sequel, The Haunting of Heck House'' was released in October 2014.

CHAPTER VIII IMPORTANT INFORMATION, IF TRUE
"Good evening, Mr. Lillyworth," said Captain Passford, when he reached the bridge.
"Good evening, Captain Passford," replied the second lieutenant, as he touched his cap to his superior, galling as the act was, according to his own statement.
"It looks as though we should have some wind," added the captain.
"Yes, sir; and we shall have a nasty time of it across the Gulf Stream."
"If there is any decided change in the weather during your watch, you will oblige me by having me called," added the captain; "I think I am tired enough to turn in, for I have been very busy all the evening, copying letters and papers. I think I need a clerk almost as much as the captain of a frigate."
"I think you ought to have one, sir," added 093 Mr. Lillyworth, manifesting a deep interest in this matter.
"As the matter now stands I have to use a good deal of my time in copying documents. By the way, if we fall in with any United States man-of-war, I wish to communicate with her."
"Of course I shall report to you, sir, if one comes in sight during my watch," replied the second lieutenant, with a greater manifestation of zeal than he had before displayed in his relations with his commander, evidently profiting by the suggestion made to him by Pink Mulgrum.
"But I hope we shall not fall in with one before day after tomorrow, for I have not copied all the letters I desire to use if such an occasion offers," said Captain Passford, who was really playing out a baited hook for the benefit of the second lieutenant, in regard to whose intentions he had no doubt since the revelations of the steward.
"By the way, Captain Passford, what you say in regard to the amount of writing imposed upon you reminds me that there is a man on board who might afford you some relief from this drudgery. Possibly you may have noticed this man, though he is doing duty as a mere scullion."
94 "Do you mean the man I have seen cleaning brass work about the cabin?" asked Christy, glad to have the other take hold of the baited hook.
"That is the one; he is deaf and dumb, but he has received a good education, and writes a good hand, and is rapid about it," added the second lieutenant, with some eagerness in his manner, though he tried to conceal it.
"But my writing is of a confidential nature," replied the captain.
"I have known this man, whose name is Pink Mulgrum, for some time. He is deaf and dumb, and you must have noticed him."
"Oh, yes; I have seen him, and he had an interview with Mr. Flint in my presence. I observed that he wrote a good hand, and wrote very rapidly."
"I am very confident that you can trust him with your papers, Captain Passford. He could not go into the service as a soldier or a sailor on account of his infirmity; but he desired to do something for his country. He was determined to go to the war, as he called it, in any capacity, even if it was as a scullion. He wrote me a letter to this effect, and Mr. Nawood consented to take 95 him as a man of all work. If he ever gets into an action, you will find that he is a fighting character."
"That is the kind of men we want, and at the present time, when we are hardly in a fighting latitude, perhaps I can use him as a copyist, if he will agree to make no use whatever of any information he may obtain in that capacity. I will speak to Mr. Nawood about the matter."
"Thank you, Captain Passford. Mulgrum is a very worthy man, patriotic in every fibre of his frame, and in every drop of his blood. I should be glad to obtain some permanent occupation for him in the service of his country, for nothing else will suit him in the present exciting times. Perhaps when you have tested his qualifications, this will make an opening for him."
"I will consider the subject tomorrow," said Christy, as he descended from the bridge.
The commander was satisfied that the portion of the conversation which had taken place between the aspirant for the position of captain's clerk and the second lieutenant and which had been finished before the steward had reached his perch on the foremast, related to this matter. Mulgrum had 96 heard the conversation between the first lieutenant and himself, which was intended to blind the listener, and he had reported it to his confederate. It was only another confirmation, if any were needed, in regard to the character of the conspirators.
Christy had no doubt in regard to the disloyalty of these two men; but nothing in respect to their ultimate intentions had yet been revealed. They had brought six seamen on board with them, and they appeared to have influence enough in some quarter to have had these men drafted into the Bronx. Eight men, even if two of them were officers, was an insignificant force, though he was willing to believe that they intended to obtain possession of the vessel in some manner. The captain returned to his cabin, and resumed his work in the state room.
Though Christy had spent several hours at his desk, he had really produced but a single letter, and had not yet finished it. When he heard eight bells strike, he left his state room, and seated himself at the table in the middle of his cabin. The door was open into the companion way. Mr. Flint presently appeared, and went on deck to 97 relieve the second lieutenant, who came below a few minutes later, though the captain did not allow himself to be seen by him. Then he closed the cabin door, and turned in, for he began to realize that he needed some rest. He went to sleep at once, and he did not wake till four bells struck in the morning. The Bronx was pitching heavily, though she still maintained her reputation as an easy-going ship in spite of the head sea. He dressed himself, and seated himself at his desk at once, devoting himself to the letter upon which he had been engaged the evening before. The second lieut............

You, König von Zhou oder You, König von Chou (Chinesisch: 周幽王; Pinyin: Zhōu Yōu Wáng) war König der chinesischen Zhou-Dynastie und letzter Herrscher der Westlichen Zhou-Dynastie. Er regierte von 781 v. Chr. bis 771 v. Chr.

You war der Sohn von Xuan, der ihm den Namen Gongsheng (宮湦, gōngshēng) gab. Die mehr als vier Jahrzehnte dauernde Regierungszeit von Xuan hatte eine vorübergehende Restauration der Zhou-Autorität gebracht. Auseinandersetzungen im Inneren hatten das Ansehen des Hauses Zhou jedoch geschwächt. König Xuan starb 782 v. Chr., wobei die Chroniken berichten, der Geist eines Edelmannes, den Xuan drei Jahre zuvor töten lassen hatte, habe ihm einen Pfeil ins Herz geschossen. Gongsheng bestieg den Thron als König You.

Im zweiten Jahr von Yous Regierungszeit ereignete sich ein heftiges Erdbeben, das die Region um das politische Zentrum der Zhou verwüstete. Die Chroniken berichten, dass es die Flüsse Wei, Luo und Jing austrocknen und das Gebirge Qi Shan zerspringen ließ. Im gleichen Jahr ereignete sich eine Sonnen- und eine Mondfinsternis. Die Menschen erwarteten nach diesen Ereignissen auch eine politische Katastrophe – gegen Ende der Westlichen Zhou-Dynastie war das Denken, dass natürliche und gesellschaftliche Ereignisse zusammenhängen, bereits stark ausgeprägt.

Die Regierungszeit von You war von wachsender Unsicherheit an der Nordgrenze des Zhou-Territoriums geprägt. Die Angriffe der nicht-chinesischen Völker, vor allem der Quan Rong, wurden häufiger. Sie erfolgten vor allem mit Streitwagen, teilweise auch zu Fuß, und entfalteten keine große Wirkung.

Das Shi Ji berichtet, dass König You so in seine Konkubine Bao Si – sie gilt als eine der schönsten Frauen in der chinesischen Geschichte – vernarrt war, dass er seine Frau sowie seinen Sohn und Thronfolger Yijiu verstieß. Neuer Thronfolger wurde ein Sohn, den Bao Si geboren hatte. Die chinesische Geschichtsschreibung berichtet weiterhin von einer Begebenheit, bei der ein Wachtmann glaubte, ein Angriff auf die Zhou-Hauptstadt stehe unmittelbar bevor, und deshalb ein Warnfeuer entzündete. Die dem Hause Zhou treuen Herren eilten herbei, um die Hauptstadt zu verteidigen, stellten jedoch fest, dass es sich um einen Fehlalarm handelte. Die üblicherweise mürrische Bao Si brach darüber in Gelächter aus. Um Bao Si zu unterhalten, ließ König You wiederholt Fehlalarme auslösen.

Im elften Regierungsjahr Yous verbündete sich der Herrscher von Shen, der bei der Sicherung der nordöstlichen Regionen für Zhou eine wichtige Rolle gespielt hatte und der der Vater der verstoßenen Königin war, mit den Quan Rong. Als sie gemeinsam auf die Hauptstadt des Zhou-Reiches zumarschierten, gingen die Verteidiger von einem Fehlalarm aus. Die Angreifer plünderten die Hauptstadt Zongzhou, töteten König You und nahmen Bao Si gefangen.

Dieser Verlust bedeutete nicht das Ende der Zhou-Dynastie. Einige einflussreiche Lehensherren installierten den ursprünglichen Thronfolger Yijiu als König Ping auf dem Thron und geleiteten ihn in Richtung Osten, wo er nahe dem heutigen Luoyang die Östliche Zhou-Dynastie begründete.
