Australian Signals Directorate chief Mike Burgess has confirmed data was stolen by a state-sponsored actor during February's malicious attack against Parliament House.
Norsk Hydro became the latest company to be hit by hackers in a ransomware attack as one of Europe's leading aluminium producers suffered stoppages at several of its plants.
Resources firm takes 10 per cent stake in Sapien Cyber.
Woodside Petroleum has made a multi-million dollar investment in local company Sapien Cyber, which has become the third tech start up to attract financial backing from the gas producer over the past month.
Joondalup companies such as Sapien Cyber are changing the industrial cyber security landscape by bringing together world-leading expertise with state-of-the-art technology. This company is reaping the benefits of locating their cybersecurity business in Joondalup.
A cyber crime syndicate has hacked and scrambled the medical files of about 15,000 patients from a specialist cardiology unit at Cabrini Hospital and demanded a ransom.
In this case study, we look at the operational challenges which Vulnerability Management in an OT environment presents and examine how the Sapien Cyber Vulnerability Management Service (VMS) solves these problems for a major Oil and Gas explorer, provider and supplier.
Multinational food and beverage company, Mondelez, has launched a legal case against its insurance provider, Zurich after it rejected a $100 million (£78.5 million) claim for damage caused by a ransomware attack.
The firm, which owns the Cadbury, Toblerone and Ritz brands, was hit twice by NotPetya ransomware in 2017. Mondelez claimed that the attack had left 1,700 of its servers and 24,000 laptops "permanently dysfunctional".
It said its property insurance policy with Zurich covered "physical loss or damage to electronic data, programs, or software, including physical loss or damage caused by the malicious introduction of machine code or instruction".
Cybercriminals are becoming more sophisticated and more creative in architecting attacks.
Today's integrated technology ecosystems not only allows IT networks to be used to mount attacks on OT networks, but insecure OT devices can now also provide a pathway back into corporate IT systems.
Sapien's solution accounts for the complex and ever-changing threat landscape, using advanced intrusion detection techniques combined with threat intelligence that is effective in both IT and OT environments.
The most sophisticated industrial cybersecurity in the world.
Threats to critical infrastructure are now so advanced that they require an industrial cybersecurity solution that combines advanced technologies, machine learning and human intelligence to protect networks against the complex range of attack scenarios they are vulnerable to.
Sapien has developed a solution that changes the cybersecurity landscape forever.
A new variant of the Shamoon malware was discovered on the network of Italian oil and gas contractor Saipem, where it destroyed files on about ten percent of the company's PC fleet.
Cyber attackers mainly look to spy and steal information from the energy and utility sectors, to be used in carefully orchestrated attack campaigns that tend to unfold over many months.
Hackers have infected three energy and transport companies in Ukraine and Poland with sophisticated new malware and may be planning destructive cyber attacks, research from security vendor ESET shows.
New technology now allows operators of industrial infrastructure such as oil and gas platforms, mine sites, manufacturing plants and utilities to have remote visibility and control over their production processes. The disadvantage of this new technology is that it provides avenues for cybercriminals to exploit. Therefore, advanced cyber security techniques are required to ensure the operating environment remains safe and secure from malicious actors who are always innovating to achieve their aims.
This article discusses a new technique that normally would not be associated with cyber-crime called 'Cryptomining'.
The advent of blockchain technology allowed for the creation of the first decentralised virtual currency, Bitcoin. This was the first of many virtual currencies that could be 'mined' by a computer through the process of verifying cryptographic chains.
The use of technology has grown exponentially over the last few years. It allows a miner to compete with other crypto miners to solve complicated mathematical problems with cryptographic hash functions that are associated with a block containing the transaction data. The reward for cracking the code is the authorisation of the transaction and a small amount of cryptocurrency.
Cybercriminals are capitalising on the rise of crypto mining, and the integration of industrial technology with the internet.
These malicious actors are starting to recognise the value in utilising the processing power of these operating systems as a method for mining cryptocurrency.
The technology has resulted in 'Cryptojacking attacks' where the intent is to consume compute cycles within the target control system to perform the crypto mining activity. The goal for this type of attack isn't to steal or take control of the infrastructure but to consume a small amount of computer power on the system to generate cryptocurrency. This can result in performance degradation of the system. The payload of this type of attack has been found to be delivered in malware that is becoming increasingly widespread.
Some would argue that actors targeting processing power, rather than company bank accounts or confidential data, are a lesser threat to an organisation.
However, the impact on a company's systems can be both financially and physically disastrous.
All computing devices, from an employee's laptop to an interface controlling air flow into a mine, are capable of a certain amount of processing based on their hardware specifications. In operational technology, these capabilities are only enough for the device to function correctly and allow for it to deal with minor failures. If the device does not have the adequate processing power, it will cease to function as expected, instructions given to the system will be ignored, and a manual reboot or complete replacement will be necessary. Cryptomining does exactly this. Cryptomining technology accesses processing power of a device and utilises that power to perform its mining function.
Hopefully, the targeted device is a regularly used machine and the slow down or failure of its function will be recognised by an operator, and processing will be stopped to fix it. This 'best case scenario' results in costs associated with stopping all systems associated with, and replacing or fixing, the compromised device. However, the infected machine could be part of a safety or redundancy system that is only used in an emergency. Only when it is needed will the system fail, resulting in potentially catastrophic physical damage or loss of life.
A secondary consequence is the bandwidth usage of cryptocurrency mining operations. Cryptomining software will regularly be in contact with its Command and Control (C2) server, creating high levels of data traffic that adds greater stress to operational technology communications infrastructure.
Traditional cyber security practices, such as the use of anti-virus software and firewalls, are a good start for the protection of an industrial network's perimeter. However, the innovation of recent cyber attacks expresses the importance of a solution that is resilient and adaptable.
Cryptomining software and data traffic can often go undetected by common malware signature databases and firewall rulesets.
ICS specific detection solutions provide visibility of what and how devices in a network are communicating. These solutions often raise alerts based on the anomalous behaviour of devices. Sudden higher traffic levels from a device will lead to an immediate investigation. If a safety redundancy device is consistently operating, network visibility allows for actionable intelligence to immediately address the issue.
Passive network monitoring solutions provide insights and visibility against malicious crypto mining activities, with minimal impact on network bandwidth.
There is a growing importance placed on detection technologies in both threat research and damage mitigation. In every war, intelligence is of the utmost importance for deployment of resources and exploitation of an adversary. The cyber battlefield is no different, as discovery and understanding of the enemies' avenue for attack is the best method for preventing damage to an organisation.
The adversary is also changing, from opportunistic broad-spectrum attacks to more targeted, developed threats.
In the cybersecurity arena, forensic analysis is the process of deconstructing an attack's exploitation, transmission vector and payload to determine exactly how and, if possible, why a system was compromised. It is important for evaluating a networks' vulnerability, creating defences against attacks, as well as predicting how potential attacks may operate.
A 'honeypot' in cybersecurity describes an apparently vulnerable network device with the capacity to covertly monitor and record attacks against it. The honeypot is set up to appear enticing and legitimate to an attacker, without actually compromising important data if attacked.
A honeypot can capture the attack methodology, attack signature, information on targeted systems, network vulnerabilities and, potentially, information on the attacker. This intelligence allows the cybersecurity industry to be more adept at detection of current attacks and prevention of future attacks. Attack signatures can be added to intrusion databases, a methodology can be dissected and understood in order to develop defence strategies, and vulnerabilities can be exposed and patched before they can be exploited. A greater understanding of a cyber adversary is also integral to the ability of the cybersecurity industry to evolve and adapt.
Awareness of the motives of attackers creates a great advantage for security professionals to predict how the cyber threat landscape is developing, and allow for pre-emptive countermeasures to be deployed.
Malicious actors are aware of the existence and purpose of honeypots and are constantly wary of being trapped. Therefore, effective honeypot deployment involves making the device look as real as possible. This includes protecting the device with proper security technology and having the device retain data and traffic that appears legitimate. However, in order to protect legitimate data, these honeypots are often located outside of the company's secure network, in a fake network or 'Demilitarised Zone' (DMZ).
Highlight risks and assess the seriousness of a threat.
Provide impact assessments based on the observations of the activities of the threat.
Direct further investigative activities and allow for incident response planning.
Deliver specific Threat Intelligence to the organisation.
Act as a decoy to bolster defence systems.
ICS systems will continue to be attacked, with potentially greater success, as new tools and easily accessible information becomes more widely available.
This will allow the technical knowledge, sophistication and new methodologies for attacks to develop over time. Honeypots are a useful tool that can indicate malicious intent and methodologies to provide operators with the intelligence required to build a or strengthen the security posture of an organisation.


POSTVILLE – The Upper Wapsipinicon Watershed Management Authority recently kicked off a process to develop a 20-year plan for increasing resiliency to flooding along the Wapsipinicon River and its tributaries. The planning process, led by Northeast Iowa RC&D, is part of a $96.9 million state-wide Iowa Watershed Approach project, funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
The planning period runs through July 2018. Public meetings will be held throughout the watershed to give residents a chance to learn more and give input.
"The Upper Wapsi WMA will hold public meetings throughout the watershed, likely starting this summer. We will publicize those as they are scheduled," said Project Coordinator Megan Buckingham. She pointed out that a major part of the planning process will be working with cities to decide which flood reduction projects they want to prioritize, and setting up strategies to implement and fund those activities.
"Ponds, wetlands, rain gardens, bioswales, permeable pavers, a green roof, native plantings, tree and shrub plantings, and rain barrels are some of the types of projects cities could implement to increase their resiliency in the face of flooding," Buckingham pointed out.
The Upper Wapsipinicon WMA formed in 2015, and is a partnership of more than 30 cities, counties and conservation districts who have committed to working together in their shared watershed to reduce the risk of flooding and increase water quality. To learn more about the Upper Wapsipinicon WMA, or about the resiliency planning process, visit their web site at www.upperwapsi.org.

Last week, the Governor issued an additional disaster proclamation for Mills, Muscatine, and Washington counties, in response to the state's continuous severe weather. This proclamation allows state resources to be utilized for response recovery and activates the Iowa Individual Assistance Grant program and Disaster Case Management for qualifying residents.
Iowa's Individual Assistance Grant Program provides grants up to $5,000 for household incomes up to 200 percent of the federal poverty level or a maximum annual income of $41,560 for household of three. These grants are available for home or car repairs, clothing or food, and temporary housing expenses. Original receipts are required for those seeking reimbursement for actual expenses related to storm recovery.
The grant application and instructions are available on the Iowa Department of Human Services (DHS) website and potential applicants have 45 days from the date of the proclamation to submit a claim. The link to the application can be found here: https://dhs.iowa.gov/disaster-assistance-programs?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery.
The Disaster Case Management is a program designed to provide assistance for a disaster-related hardship, injury, or adverse conditions. Disaster case managers work with individuals to create a disaster recovery plan and provide guidance, advice, and referral to obtain a service or resource. There are no income eligibility requirements for this program and closes 180 days from the Governor's proclamation date. The Disaster Case Management Program is administered through local community action associations at www.iowacommunityaction.org.
Disaster Proclamation Extension
The Governor also extended existing proclamations relating to March flooding disaster emergencies for an additional 30 days, now due July 10, 2019. This extension allows Iowans to continue utilizing state resources for response recovery from severe weather effects beginning last March. The complete list of Iowa counties eligible for state assistance recovery can be found online:https://www.homelandsecurity.iowa.gov.
Federal Individual Assistance is currently available for nine counties: Fremont, Harrison, Louisa, Mills, Monona, Pottawattamie, Scott, Shelby, and Woodbury. This assistance provides aid to eligible homeowners, renters, and businesses.

In just a matter of a few years it will be time to draw new maps for the Iowa Legislature and Congressional Districts. After the federal census in 2020, district maps across the country are redrawn to reflect the change in population.
The Iowa redistricting system is the most fair and non-partisan in the country, similar to how our judicial nominating system worked before Republican lawmakers changed it on the final day of session.
Iowa has a completely unique way of determining what legislative and congressional districts will look like after the census is complete. Unlike other states, Iowa does not use any political or election data while drawing their maps and the maps are drawn by nonpartisan legislative staff. Once the maps are drawn and presented, the legislature votes on the new districts.
There are different processes on the creation of legislative maps throughout the country, but in most states the state legislature is completely responsible for the drawing legislative and congressional districts. Other states have commissions that are made up of appointed members from in and outside of the legislature.
Iowans should make sure they hold their elected officials accountable and let them know they do not want political influence in redistricting, like have been infused into our judicial nominating process.
The Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) has awarded funding to school districts for 54 bus improvement projects from the Volkswagen Settlement Environmental Mitigation Trust program.
In 2016 the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) filed a complaint alleging Volkswagen violated the Clean Air Act through the sale of motor vehicles between 2009 and 2016 equipped with "defeat devices." The devices were designed to perform differently during normal vehicle operation than during emissions tests. Volkswagen agreed to settle some of the allegations with the creation of an Environmental Mitigation Trust to fund strategies that will reduce the emission of nitrogen oxides.
Through the agreement, Iowa will receive approximately $21 million in Trust funds for mitigation projects which will be distributed through competitive application programs over the next several years. The current approved 54 bus improvement projects will total $4,628,072 million.
For the full list of the DOT awards to transit authorities and school districts to assist in energy efficient bus purchases, go to: https://iowadot.gov/vwsettlement/docs/VW%20Cycle%201%20Award%20Summary.pdf.
June has been designated PTSD (Posttraumatic Stress Disorder) Awareness month by The National Center for PTSD. During this month, people are encouraged to learn about the disorder, connect with others who may be experiencing symptoms, and share information with family and friends.
PTSD can occur after someone has experienced a traumatic event. Examples of these events include combat exposure, car accidents, and natural disasters. Not everyone who experiences events like these will have PTSD, but others can start to develop symptoms over time. Symptoms of PTSD can include avoiding certain situations that remind you of the traumatic event, negative changes in beliefs, and feelings, reliving the event and feeling keyed up.
If you or someone you know may be experiencing PTSD, reach out to your family doctor or contact your local VA or Vet Center for treatment options.
For more information regarding PTSD Awareness Month, please visit: https://www.ptsd.va.gov/understand/awareness/index.asp.
The Iowa Transportation Commission approved the state's five-year Transportation Improvement Project. Approximately $3.5 billion is expected to be available for highway right of way and construction. Of those funds, approximately 55 percent of the $3.5 billion program will be invested in rural Iowa.
The plan includes more than $1 billion for Iowa bridges, as well more than $2 billion in funding approved for the modernization of Iowa's existing highway system and for enhanced highway safety features.
For additional information regarding the five-year road funding plan visit; https://iowadot.gov/program_management/Five-Year-Program.
As reported previously, the Davenport School District, Iowa's third largest district has been placed on conditional accreditation status by the Iowa State Board of Education. Now, after a Phase II Site visit by the Department of Education, the situation may have turned for the better.
This week the Iowa State Board of Education unanimously approved an action plan which will require the district to accomplish specific tasks and deadlines to accomplish them. Part of the action plan is to have the Interim Superintendent stay in place through the 2019-20 school year. The plan will also involve Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports (PBIS) to create a positive learning environment, and community and parent engagement implementation before next school year.
The department indicated that the district was very responsive to their suggestions in developing the action plan. The district indicated that it is very helpful to have an action plan that narrowed down specific tasks and deadlines as to when to accomplish them.
The state has seen the wettest 12 month stretch on record since last June. This May was the sixth wettest on record according to the most recent Water Summary Update. All of the National Weather Service Coop stations across the state reported above average rainfall in May, with the largest differences in southern and southeastern Iowa. The southeastern portion of the state reported 200% of expected rainfall for the month.
Streamflows across most of the state continue to be much above normal. Average streamflow across the state peaked in March at a very high level and has slowly declined toward normal flows in April and May. Additional rains pushed the index back to high levels in June. Drought conditions across the state have been absent since late last year and continue with the increased rainfall.
The Water Summary Report is prepared by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship, IOIHR – Hydroscience and Engineering, and the U.S. Geological Survey in consultation with the Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management Department. Additional information and the full report can be found at www.iowadnr.gov/watersummaryupdate.

Q: Event handler of another frame not getting called - wxWidgets Good day to all,
I'm working on a C++ program using wxWidgets wherein a frame has a button named "Calibrate Button" which is used to calibrate HSV values using a trackbar. When the user selects this button, a live feed video, a control panel which contains the trackbar for adjusting HSV values, a threshold image which represents the changes in the calibration of the HSV values, and another frame which contains a button named "SAVE VALUES" appears. When the user clicks the Save Values button, it saves whatever the values that have been set in the trackbar into a textfile.
My problem is, whenever i click that button, it does not perform what it is intended to do, which is to save the HSV values in a txtfile.
Here is the main code which is responsible for creating the additional frame when the user selects the Calibrate Button.
void TemplateFrame::OncalibTrackerButtonClick(wxCommandEvent& event)
{

    **some code for initializing the live video feed, the trackbars, etc.**

     CalibrationWindow* calibWindow =  new CalibrationWindow(this);
     calibWindow->setHSVvalues(H_MIN,S_MIN,V_MIN,H_MAX,S_MAX,V_MAX);

     calibrationModeTracker = true;

     **the following code after this line would be a pseudocode of what I am doing once the button has been click already
     while(calibrationModeTracker){
         calibWindow->Show(); // shows the "SAVE VALUES" frame
         wxYield();

         read live feed video
         createTrackbars();

         show live feed video
         show threshold image

     }
}

Inside the while loop, users would be able to click the "SAVE VALUES" button which would save the HSV values in a txtfile.
On the other hand, here is the event handler function of the newly created frame (CalibrationWindow.cpp) after clicking Calibrate Button which contains the Save Values button
    void CalibrationWindow::OnSaveClick(wxCommandEvent& event)
    {
      ofstream myfile;
      stringstream oss(stringstream::in | stringstream::out);
      string f;
      f = "//home//ianlangley//Desktop//Savefiles//HSVvalues_left.txt";
      f = f.append(oss.str());
      myfile.open(f.c_str());
      if (myfile.is_open()){

        myfile<<CalibrationWindow::getlow_H()<<"\n";
        myfile<<CalibrationWindow::getlow_S()<<"\n";
        myfile<<CalibrationWindow::getlow_V()<<"\n";
        myfile<<CalibrationWindow::gethigh_H()<<"\n";
        myfile<<CalibrationWindow::gethigh_S()<<"\n";
        myfile<<CalibrationWindow::gethigh_V();
        myfile.close();
     }
   }

Lastly, here is the code inside the header file: CalibrationWindow.h
    class CalibrationWindow: public wxFrame
    {
       public:

       CalibrationWindow(wxWindow* parent,wxWindowID id=wxID_ANY);
       virtual ~CalibrationWindow();
       void setHSVvalues(int lowH,int lowS, int lowV,int highH,int highS, int highV);
       int getlow_H();
       int getlow_S();
       int getlow_V();

       int gethigh_H();
       int gethigh_S();
       int gethigh_V();

       //(*Declarations(CalibrationWindow)
       wxButton* LeftHandButton;
       wxButton* RightHandButton;
       //*)

       protected:

        //(*Identifiers(CalibrationWindow)
        static const long ID_BUTTON2;
        static const long ID_BUTTON1;
        //*)

        private:
        int lowH,lowS,lowV,highH,highS,highV;
        //(*Handlers(CalibrationWindow)
        void OnRightHandButtonClick(wxCommandEvent& event);
        void OnLeftHandButtonClick(wxCommandEvent& event);
        //*)

        DECLARE_EVENT_TABLE()
};

Thank you to those who will be able to help me with this problem.

Google Fine Boosts Calls for U.S. Data Privacy Law

A $57 million fine that the French data protection authority levied on Google last week is the largest yet under the European Union's newer privacy law, and it could well bolster efforts to enact similar legislation in the United States.
California already has passed a data privacy protection act of its own, and that legislation — similar to the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) under which France fined Google — takes effect in early 2020.
In Congress, meanwhile, a number of lawmakers, most of them Democrats, have introduced data protection bills that would be similar to the GDPR. And the White House said this past summer that it was looking forward to working with Congress on "a consumer privacy protection policy that is the appropriate balance between privacy and prosperity."
Historically, the U.S. has taken an industry-by-industry, on-demand approach to regulating privacy, as it did with privacy laws affecting the health industry in 2003.
But a revelation by Facebook this past year that it had released private information about more than 50 million of its users to Cambridge Analytica, the passage of the GDPR and California's new law all are serving as rallying cries for the United States to abandon the on-demand approach and regulate internet users' privacy nationwide.
Facebook and Twitter also reportedly are being scrutinized by GDPR regulators, but Google's $57 million fine is the first leveled against those three major platforms. The Federal Trade Commission, meanwhile, is conducting an ongoing investigation of the Facebook/Cambridge Analytica data release exposed last March.
European Union's GDPR Explained
For EU citizens, the GDPR replaces a 1998 law enacted before the likes of Google and Facebook even existed. The new law gives EU citizens more rights in controlling their online information and presents a number of technically demanding requirements for companies to meet. It also threatens fines of up to 4 percent of a company's annual revenue for violations.
One of two key elements of the law is the right of erasure, or the right to be forgotten — if you don't want your personal information made public, then you can request its removal or erasure. A second element is the right of portability — when companies address "opt-in/opt-out" clauses to their users, for example, notices must be easy to understand and precise on the clauses' terms.
Though GDRP doesn't directly regulate U.S. companies, any companies that do business with UK citizens, including such social platforms as Google and Facebook, were required to be GDPR-compliant when the law took effect last May.
California's Version of GDPR
In June, on the heels of the GDPR's enactment, California Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law that state's own version of GDPR to protect the privacy of its citizens.
California's law gives online users the right to know what information companies are collecting about them, why the companies are collecting that data and with whom the data is shared. Californians also can tell companies to delete their information or not sell or share their data.
Should a company commit a data breach, the law, once it becomes effective next January, makes it easier for consumers to sue companies after a data breach. It also bestows more authority for the state's attorney general to fine companies that don't comply with the new rules — and it makes it more difficult to share or sell data on children who are younger than 16.
What Might Lie in Store for the U.S.
With their continually growing numbers and the platforms they serve for marketers, Google, Facebook and Twitter certainly aren't going anywhere soon. But they and all other U.S. companies, large and small — as well as marketers for those companies — must be aware of the regulations and privacy rights that the likes of the GDPR and the California Consumer Privacy Act command.
What sort of national data privacy law might Congress eventually pass? Whatever emerges from Capitol Hill and a presidential signature, likely after much lobbying by tech giants and privacy advocates alike, probably won't be a GDPR copycat, experts say.
"Privacy and data protection are fundamental rights from the EU perspective but not in the U.S.," Eduardo Ustaran, codirector of the privacy practice at law firm Hogan Lovells, recently told Fortune magazine.
"That is a major philosophical difference between the two jurisdictions, and that will be reflected in the law."
Marc Rotenberg, president of the Electronic Privacy Information Center, a Washington, D.C., advocacy group, says any new law should be spearheaded by an agency that coordinates enforcement and reports on the current state of affairs and emerging threats to people's privacy.
"The U.S. needs to improve its understanding of this critical issue," he told Fortune.

I apologize for any ambiguity. I love it here. I have since I first landed in the summer of 2009. It was, love at first sight, and that has not changed.
There is something magical in the air, that makes you yearn for it when you are away and fills you with joy when you step foot on the tarmac and walk back into the airport across the airfield.
I am glad that it is not Canada or Switzerland, the places where I grew up. Yes, there are things that still frustrate me: the rather aggressive drivers; the billboards everywhere (even though I use them in my work now too); the lack of protection for animals; the challenges facing special needs people or people of diversity; the lack of recycling… all things that are evidence of a land in transition.
Yes, there are things that I miss from Vancouver or Zurich. Friends obviously; diversity in dining options; all the conveniences of a modern city. I miss trivial things like being able to phone for home delivery of almost any type of international food you can imagine. But then you think of the cost of living in Vancouver or Lugano and compare it to how much further your Euro goes here, and you forget all those cravings!
So Milos, to answer your question: I love this place; the friends I have made; their welcoming nature; the incredible Wild Beauty from seaside to mountain ranges that I never get used to; the amazing summers at the beach or on the water; the simple, yet wholesome real food and my favorite locales; the simple, slower, life. The incredibly tall people (thanks for reminding me Zaga). It is less stressful here, but we work very hard – building, marketing and selling new communities in this emerging market that is still remote, with its storied past, is no easy endeavor. That challenge is an invigorating and exciting one!
I hope this post has cleared things up!

Sam Bell, owner of The Lusty Wrench, holding his 2015 Best of the Heights award for Best Customer Service.
Cleveland Heights has many intelligent, knowledgeable, skilled, dedicated and civic-minded entrepreneurs. Sam Bell, who has been one such local treasure for nearly 40 years, made the decision to close his business, The Lusty Wrench, as of mid-March.
Bell started The Lusty Wrench in 1979, after having taken his own car to be serviced before a road trip. Despite the "trip check", the car broke down en route. The frustration of having just paid a professional to attend to the car to prevent such misery and inconvenience spurred Bell to wonder, "Is it feasible to run an auto repair shop based on competence, honesty and integrity?" He opened The Lusty Wrench the next week.
Bell himself has been honored with awards and other recognition, including being named ASE Technician of the Year in 2010, and receiving an Entrepreneurs for Sustainability award as a Champion of Sustainability for his pioneering concept of what he calls "eco-conscious auto repair." He is profiled in Case Western Reserve University's Weatherhead School of Management's "Business as an Agent of World Betterment" collection.
Bell's civic involvement has included supporting youth soccer, scouting, the National Ski Patrol, and serving on the CH-UH City School District's Lay Facilities Committee as chair of its Sustainability Working Group. He currently serves on the Cleveland Heights Transportation Advisory Committee.
Patti Substelny was a Lusty Wrench customer for more than 20 years, and is a proud resident of Cleveland Heights.

List of Top 11 Human Rights NGOs in USA
Why we need human rights NGOs in USA? We all know that human rights are based on the principle of respect for the individual. Their fundamental assumption is that each person is a moral and rational being who deserves to be treated with dignity.
They are called human rights because they are universal. Whereas nations or specialized groups enjoy specific rights that apply only to them, human rights are the rights to which everyone is entitled—no matter who they are or where they live—simply because they are alive.
"Every time justice dies, it is as if it had never existed." – José Saramago.
All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.
Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms, without distinction of any kind, such as race, color, sex, language, religion, political or another opinion, national or social origin, property, birth, or status.
Furthermore, no distinction shall be made based on the country's political, jurisdictional or international status or territory to which a person belongs.
There are top 11 NGOs in the USA working with proper planning and a well-developed process that must develop an effective action and professional organization that owns the ability to meet society's challenges. Let's have a look at each NGO with their extensive work of implementing peace. The list of such NGO's are as followed;
Prosperity Web
The Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL)
Carter Center
Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation
Equal Justice Initiative
HumanRightsFirst
Open Society Foundation
1. Prosperity Web
Website: www.prosperityweb.org
Founder's name: Raza Hasan
Strategic presence: Globally
Address: 4532 Alicia Dr. Inver Grove Heights, MN 55077, United States.
All humans are created equal. We all can thrive and add to the benefit of each other. Some of us struggle to make ends meet, mostly driven by our environment and not by who we are. If people have the right mindset, a clear understanding, and a belief with a dream of a governance system that enables them to thrive, they will rise to change their environment to succeed.
The goal of ProsperityWeb is to create awareness that economic equality is necessary to ensure that people in positions of authority are working for the benefit of all people and not just the privileged. These goals are extensively explained in the book, "Prosperity for All Nations" written by Raza Hasan. The main goal of the book and the non-profit organization is to teach the masses that prosperity requires a government structure that imposes checks on the leaders to ensure that they are unable to abuse their power. Corruption can only happen when the rulers are able to break the law and get away with it. Corruption manifests as injustice, inequality, and violation of individual rights. Injustice in a society leads to poverty and crime.
This book helps the reader understand the importance of equality and justice, learning governance structure in the whole world, and how it results in injustice and poverty.
A Wonderful Thought to Implement Peace Globally
Humans are our most incredible resource; we all gain if we leverage all human resources to their fullest. Just imagine if the oppressed 75% of the world were able to move from the desperation of survival to self-actualization and the ability to become consumers of everything currently available only to people in prosperous countries.
Think about the possibility of living in a peaceful world where we can all feel safe traveling globally and doing business in any part of the world. Let's work together to convert the $1.7 trillion annual military spending toward dealing with the root cause of war: the injustice that leads to poverty, which results in desperate revolts, terrorist and criminal activities, and the displacement of large numbers of refugees. Instead of listening to doomsday scenarios, we can choose to organize ourselves for a prosperous future. Ultimate economic equality will be achieved when there is no hunger or war, when we have compassion for every human being, when we can enjoy visiting any part of the world, and when we are making use of the contributions of all human beings. The world would become a big happy family where everyone is equal. Let's call it the World United.
ProsperityWeb Action Plans
This book highlights the importance of effective democratic structures required to protect equality and justice. Few of them are as followed;
Engage people worldwide via the Internet to support this economic equality cause by becoming ambassadors of the message. Anyone in any country can propose an awareness project to the members of ProsperityWeb, and members would help create this awareness. For example, a person in Uganda could propose the distribution of either this book or a summary of it translated into their local language. The rest of the people in the network would help carry out this task by providing the human resources, funding, and any other help needed to complete the project.
People who understand that the root cause of most human suffering is injustice will be asked to fund ProsperityWeb, both in general and for specific awareness projects. We will count on the people in the first world who are blessed with resources to help financially. Most of these people live in successful democracies and will understand that structural checks and balances are crucial in any form of government to have the justice that will ultimately lead to world peace.
Activist Groups
Facilitate the creation of local groups worldwide to create a unified voice for justice and prosperity for all. The purpose of these groups will be to provide awareness of the principles of checks and balances required for justice. This will be a better venue for the poor people who are suffering and presently can only vent to and hear solutions from religious scholars who are not educated in government structures. Currently, many blame Western nations for maintaining the Kleptocratic governments that inflict injustice and poverty upon them. I believe that if these religious scholars understand the need for the structural changes described in this book, they will support them and become the voices for this change to create a world of justice.
2. Ford Foundation
Website: www.fordfoundation.org
Founder's name: Edsel Ford
Address: 320 E 43rd St New York, NY 10017 USA.
Over the past 80 years, Ford Foundation has invested in innovative ideas, visionary individuals, and frontline institutions advancing human dignity worldwide, which is why it is listed in the top human rights NGOs in the USA. Their social justice mission and vision have guided through transformations in the foundation, the communities they serve, and the world.
The foundation is governed by a distinguished and diverse 16-member Board of Trustees, which includes the president. Their grant-making is led by directors and regional representatives with expertise in their fields and a profound commitment to social change.
Ford Foundation Mission
Ford Foundation believes in the inherent dignity of all people. But around the world, too many people are excluded from the political, economic, and social institutions that shape their lives. In addressing this reality, they are guided by a vision of social justice—a world in which all individuals, communities, and peoples work toward the protection and full expression of their human rights; are active participants in the decisions that affect them; share equitably in the knowledge, wealth, and resources of society; and are free to achieve their full potential.
Across eight decades, their mission has been to reduce poverty and injustice, strengthen democratic values, promote international cooperation, and advance human achievement.
Their Approach to Practice Peace as Human Rights NGOs in USA
Ford Foundation believes that social movements are built upon individual leadership, strong institutions, and innovative, often high-risk ideas. While the specifics of what we work on have evolved over the years, investments in these three areas have remained the touchstones of everything they do and are central to our theory of how change happens in the world. These approaches have long distinguished the Ford Foundation, and they have had a profound cumulative impact.
3. The Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL)
Website: www.povertyactionlab.org
Founder's name: Professor Abhijit Banerjee, Esther Duflo and Sendhil Mullainathan
Address: 400 Main Street E19-201 Cambridge, MA 02142 USA.
The Poverty Action Lab working as human rights NGOs in USA was founded in 2003 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) by professors Abhijit Banerjee, Esther Duflo, and Sendhil Mullainathan to transform how the world approaches the challenges of global poverty. In 2005 the lab was named in honor of Abdul Latif Jameel, the father of MIT alumnus Mohammed Abdul Latif Jameel and founder of the Abdul Latif Jameel Company. J-PAL receives continued support from Community Jameel, an organization established in 2003 to continue the Jameel family's tradition of supporting social and economic sustainability.
Today, J-PAL's core staff includes more than 400 research, policy, education, and training professionals across seven offices worldwide. Their work is generously supported by visionary foundations, governments, and individuals. Major donors include Arnold Ventures, Co-Impact, Community Jameel, Echidna Giving, The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Google.org, The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, King Philanthropies, The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, The Douglas B. Marshall Jr. Family Foundation, Omidyar Network, The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, and the UK Department for International Development.
Action Plan of J-PAL
The Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL) is a global research center working to reduce poverty by ensuring that policy is informed by scientific evidence. Anchored by a network of 225 affiliated professors at universities worldwide, J-PAL conducts randomized impact evaluations to answer critical questions in the fight against poverty. At J-PAL, we believe investing in rigorous research is essential to finding solutions to the world's greatest challenges.
Working with implementing partners, J-PAL's affiliated professors conduct randomized impact evaluations to test and improve social programs' effectiveness.
J-PAL translates research into action, promoting a culture of evidence-informed policymaking around the world. Our policy analysis and outreach help governments, NGOs, donors, and the private sector apply evidence from randomized evaluations to their work and contribute to public discourse around some of the most pressing questions in social policy and international development.
4. Carnegie Endowment for International Peace
Website: www.carnegieendowment.org
Founder's name: Andrew Carnegie
Address: 1779 Massachusetts Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20036-2103, USA.
The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace (CEIP) is a nonpartisan foreign-policy think tank with centers in Washington D.C., Moscow, Beirut, Beijing, Brussels, and New Delhi. Founded in 1910 by Andrew Carnegie, the organization describes itself as being dedicated to advancing cooperation between nations and promoting active international engagement by the United States.
In the University of Pennsylvania's "2019 Global Go to Think Tanks Report", Carnegie has ranked the #1 top think tank globally. In the 2015 Global Go to Think Tanks Report, Carnegie was ranked the third most influential think tank globally, after the Brookings Institution and Chatham House. It was ranked as the top Independent Think Tank in 2018.
More than 150 thinkers and doers from diverse disciplines and perspectives spread across more than twenty countries and six global centers working together as one network to advance international peace.
Decision-makers are thirsty for insight rooted in precisely the kind of fine-grained understanding of local contexts and perspectives for which Carnegie is renowned. With on-the-ground expertise in key regions, Carnegie provides sophisticated analyses of the societal, economic, security, and political forces fueling competition and conflict and brings its global network together to pave pathways to conflict mitigation and resolution.
Post–Cold War assumptions about democracy's progress have been upended. Democracies and non-democracies alike struggle to meet their citizens' expectations, providing an opening for both benign and malign ideas and approaches to governance and international assistance to be tested. With governments and civil society worldwide, Carnegie works to update and strengthen state-society compacts and strategies for international engagement.
Geo-economics and Strategy
In an increasingly competitive world defined by rising inequality, states and corporations alike are thinking anew about how to advance their economic interests, with enormous ramifications for domestic politics as well as the stability of trade, financial markets, regulatory bodies, and other elements of today's global economic order.
Carnegie's mix of world-class economists and strategists helps executives from situation rooms to board rooms navigate the critical intersection of economics and national security.
Technology and International Affairs
The pace of technological innovation is reshaping every aspect of life—and every aspect of international affairs. Carnegie's interdisciplinary expertise, proven experience in developing international norms, and presence in regions at the forefront of technological innovation mean it is uniquely positioned to bridge the gap between innovation and policy in four critical areas: nuclear, cyber, artificial intelligence, and biotechnology.
5. Carter Center
Website: www.cartercenter.org
Founder's name: Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter
Address: One Copen Hill, 453 John Lewis Freedom Parkway NE, Atlanta, GA 30307, USA.
The Carter Center was founded in 1982 by former U.S. President Jimmy Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, in partnership with Emory University to advance peace and health worldwide to categorize it as human rights NGOs in USA.
A nongovernmental organization, the Center has helped improve people's lives in more than 80 countries by resolving conflicts; advancing democracy, human rights, and economic opportunity; preventing diseases; improving mental health care; and teaching farmers to increase crop production.
The Carter Center is guided by the principles of Founders Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter. Founded, in partnership with Emory University, on a fundamental commitment to human rights and the alleviation of human suffering, the Center seeks to prevent and resolve conflicts, enhance freedom and democracy, and improve health:
The Carter Center believes that people can improve their lives when provided with the necessary skills, knowledge, and access to resources. The Center emphasizes action and measurable results in the lives of the people it seeks to help. The Center values the courage to break new ground, fill vacuums, and address the most difficult problems in the most difficult situations.
It recognizes that solving difficult problems requires careful analysis, relentless persistence, and recognizing that failure is an acceptable risk. The Center is non‐partisan, and it seeks to work collaboratively with other organizations from the highest levels of government to local communities.
6. Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation
Website: www.gatesfoundation.org
Founder's name: Bill Gates and Melinda Gates
Address: 440 5th Ave N. Seattle, Washington 98109, USA.
Guided by the belief that every life has equal value, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation works to help all people lead healthy, productive lives. In developing countries, it focuses on improving people's health and giving them the chance to lift themselves out of hunger and extreme poverty.
In the United States, it seeks to ensure that all people—especially those with the fewest resources—have access to the opportunities they need to succeed in school and life. Based in Seattle, Washington, the foundation is led by CEO Mark Suzman, under Bill and Melinda Gates and Warren Buffett's direction.
Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is teaming up with partners worldwide to take on some tough challenges as human rights NGOs in USA: extreme poverty and poor health in developing countries, and the failures of America's education system. They focus on only a few issues because they think that's the best way to have a great impact, and they focus on these issues in particular because they think they are the biggest barriers that prevent people from making the most of their lives.
For each issue they work on, they fund innovative ideas that could help remove these barriers: new techniques to help farmers in developing countries grow more food and earn more money; new tools to prevent and treat deadly diseases; new methods to help students and teachers in the classroom. Some of the projects they fund will fail. They not only accept that they expect it—because they think an essential role of philanthropy is to make bets on promising solutions that governments and businesses can't afford to make. As they learn which bets pay off, we have to adjust our strategies and share the results so everyone can benefit.
7. Equal Justice Initiative
Website: www.eji.org
Founder's name: Bryan Stevenson
Strategic presence: Nationally
Address: 122 Commerce Street Montgomery, Alabama 36104, USA.
The Equal Justice Initiative working as human rights NGOs in USA, is committed to ending mass incarceration and excessive punishment in the United States, challenging racial and economic injustice, and protecting basic human rights for the most vulnerable people in American society.
Founded in 1989 by Bryan Stevenson, a widely acclaimed public interest lawyer and bestselling author of Just Mercy, EJI is a private, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides legal representation to people who have been illegally convicted, unfairly sentenced, or abused in state jails and prisons. They challenge the death penalty and excessive punishment, and they provide re-entry assistance to formerly incarcerated people.
EJI works with communities that have been marginalized by poverty and discouraged by unequal treatment. They are committed to changing the narrative about race in America. EJI produces groundbreaking reports, an award-winning calendar, and short films that explore our nation's history of racial injustice. And in 2018, they opened the Legacy Museum: From Enslavement to Mass Incarceration and the National Memorial for Peace and Justice as part of our national effort to create new spaces, markers, and memorials that address the legacy of slavery, lynching, and racial segregation, which shapes many issues today.
EJI provides research and recommendations to assist advocates and policymakers in critically important criminal justice reform work. They publish reports, discussion guides, and other educational materials.

8. Justice for All
Website: www.justiceforall.org
Founder's name: Abdul Malik Mujahid
Address: 27 E Monroe St Suite 700, Chicago, IL 60603 USA.
An NGO with Consultative Status at the United Nations (DPI), Justice for All is an Illinois registered nonprofit organization based in Chicago, with staff and volunteers in Washington DC, New York, Boston, Texas and other locations. The organization, which was incorporated in 1999, grew out of advocacy efforts on the human rights abuses experienced in Bosnia and later Kosovo during the former Yugoslavia break-up. At that time, it was instrumental in shaping the discourse around the 'genocide' debate and campaigned to declare rape as a war crime in international law.
Justice for All is funded by a broad range of faith community donors who take a keen interest in furthering human rights both in the United States and outside its shores. Its broad mandate to educate fellow citizens on social justice concerns and provide guidance for action through regular newsletters and extensive media engagement.
Justice for All currently operates as human rights NGOs in USA as several campaigns and programs to address issues that do not receive enough international, public and political support. Since 2012, their focus has been to raise awareness regarding the persecution of ethnic and religious minorities in Burma. Moreover, they promote policies that protect religious freedom, address the root causes of mass displacement, and recognize refugees' plight and displaced people.
Burma Task Force, their most active program, supports a more robust US and international response to the Rohingya Genocide. Using media and social media, this program aims to engage and mobilize grassroots community members to demand policies that protect human rights and support humanitarian aid.
Recently Planned Activities
Since 2017, their Washington DC staff has helped inform policymakers regarding the persecution and genocidal policies in Burma. In early 2018, Justice for All developed a parallel partnership for interfaith coalition building as part of the Faith Coalition against Genocide. They have also increasingly emphasized inter-ethnic solidarity among leaders in the Burmese diaspora, convening meetings and conferences.
In summer 2018, the State Department released a strong report on the Rohingya, and in late 2018 the House of Representatives passed a strong resolution on Burma with a 394 to 1 vote. Through organized advocacy days on the Hill and the help of DC-based consultants, they have worked to pass legislation in Congress, including sanctions, and ensure effective language is included in the appropriations bills. While working to build awareness on a grassroots level, they have also maintained our regular presence at the United Nations.
To respond to emerging crises, they developed the Save Uighur program in early 2019 and helped organize rallies and panels in partnership with Uighur leadership in the USA. They also organized Kashmir programming while also raising awareness of Muslims' plight and other minorities in India. Along with productive meetings with officials and organizational letters involving Nobel Prize winners and prominent NGOs, their Petition asking the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation not to honor Prime Minister Modi gained more than 100,000 signatures.
9. Human Rights Watch
Website: www.hrw.org
Founder's name: Amy Rao
Address: 350 Fifth Avenue, 34th Floor New York, NY 10118-3299 USA.
Human Rights Watch was founded in 1978 as "Helsinki Watch," when they began investigating rights abuses in countries that signed the Helsinki Accords, most notably those behind the Iron Curtain. Since then, their work has expanded to five continents. They investigated massacres and even genocides, along with government take-overs of media and the baseless arrests of activists and political opposition figures. At the same time, they expanded work to address abuses against those likely to face discrimination, including women, LGBT people, and people with disabilities.
When families victimized by war crimes found no justice at home, they championed international justice and international courts. While they rely on in-person interviews, their research methods have also changed with the times, and today they use satellite imagery to track the destruction of villages and city blocks. We mine big data for patterns in arrest rates or the deportation of immigrants. Everything they did circles back to their commitment to justice, dignity, compassion, and equality and worked as human rights NGOs in USA.
Human Rights Watch investigates and reports on abuses happening in all corners of the world. They are roughly 450 people of 70-plus nationalities who are country experts, lawyers, journalists, and others who work to protect the most at risk, from vulnerable minorities and civilians in wartime to refugees and children in need. They direct their advocacy towards governments, armed groups and businesses, pushing them to change or enforce their laws, policies and practices.
To ensure our independence, they refuse government funding and carefully review all donations to ensure that they are consistent with their policies, mission, and values. They partner with organizations large and small across the globe to protect embattled activists and to help hold abusers to account and bring justice to victims.
Their researchers working in the field in 100 countries, uncovering facts that create an undeniable record of human rights abuses.
It tells the stories of what they found, sharing them with millions of social media and online followers each day. News media often report on their investigations, furthering their reach.
This NGO meeting with governments, the United Nations, rebel groups, corporations, and others to see that policy is changed, laws are enforced, and justice is served.
10. Human Rights First
Website: www.humanrightsfirst.org
Founder's name: Marvin E. Frankel and Michael H. Posner
Address: 75 Broad St, 31st Floor, New York, NY 10004 USA.
Human Rights First is a non-profit human rights NGOs in USA, a nonpartisan international human rights organization based in New York, Washington D.C., Houston, and Los Angeles. It is an independent advocacy and action organization that challenges America to live up to its ideals.
They believe American leadership is essential in the global struggle for human rights, so they press the U.S. government and private companies to respect human rights and the rule of law. When they fail, this NGO's step is to demand reform, accountability and justice. Around the world, they work where they can best harness American influence to secure core freedoms.
On human rights, the United States must be a beacon. Activists fighting for freedom worldwide continue to look to our country for inspiration and count on us for support. Upholding human rights is not only a moral obligation; it's a vital national interest: America is strongest when our policies and actions match our values.
The organization helps asylum seekers living in the greater Washington D.C., New York City, Los Angeles, and Houston metropolitan areas who do not already have legal representation, cannot afford an attorney, and need help with a claim for asylum or other protection-based forms of immigration status. The organization's New York and Houston offices can also help people seeking asylum from a nearby immigration detention center.
As they challenge the United States to respect its ideals, their goal is not to make a point but to make a difference—to get concrete results that have a tangible impact on people's lives. To that end, they conduct campaigns in pursuit of specific goals. And they urge you to participate in campaigns so that policymakers in Washington hear from citizen-champions of human rights.

In late 2012, Ceridian made a bold move. The company announced that it would stop selling its existing HCM and payroll technology and moving 100 percent to the cloud via its newly acquired Dayforce HCM product. This is the kind of strategic move that is clearly the best thing for your customer and your business in the long term, but is so disruptive and expensive in the short term that most vendors fail to do it.

Nuclear scientists as assassination targets
By William Tobey, January 12, 2012
Since 2007, international media have reported the violent deaths of four scientists and engineers connected with Iran's nuclear program and an attempt on the life of a fifth. The news reports on such killings are murky, incomplete, and, in some instances, likely inaccurate. The motivations and identity of the persons behind the killings are also obscure, but the fact that they are taking place is undeniable.
On January 15, 2007, Ardeshire Hassanpour, who had won a military prize for his work as a nuclear physicist at Iran's Isfahan uranium conversion plant, reportedly died under mysterious circumstances related to "gas poisoning." While possibly an industrial accident, his death went unreported for six days . On January 12, 2010, physics professor Masoud Ali-Mohammadi was reportedly killed by a remotely controlled bomb wired to a motorbike. On November 29, 2010, a similar device also reportedly killed Majid Shariari, and a separate blast wounded Fereydoon Abbasi. Shariari was a nuclear engineer. Abbasi is now vice president of the Islamic Republic and heads the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran. On July 23, 2011, two gunmen shot and killed Darioush Rezaeinejad; Iranian state media published a report linking the killing to Tehran's nuclear program, a tie later confirmed by the head of Iran's nuclear program.
The appropriateness and legality of targeted killings of terrorists is already a matter of substantial discussion among legal scholars, as controversy over the recent killing of Muslim cleric Anwar al-Awlaki via a US drone attack illustrates. But nuclear scientists — even those in suspected illicit weapons programs — are different from terrorists. In fact, the killing of nuclear scientists and engineers raises many important — even unique — policy questions: What impels nations to undertake such extreme actions? What are the likely effects on nuclear proliferation programs? What disadvantages or retaliatory responses can be anticipated? Do legal and moral standards have a role in the matter?
Like most calculations related to the prevention of nuclear proliferation, the answers to these questions are neither easy to formulate nor categorical. And like many questions related to nuclear proliferation, these have roots stretching back to the dawn of the atomic age.
The Heisenberg uncertainty and beyond. Targeting atomic scientists to retard a potential nuclear weapons program predates the existence of nuclear weapons. Alarmed by the possibility that the giant of German physics, Werner Heisenberg, was working on an atomic bomb for Adolf Hitler, noted theoretical physicist Victor Weisskopf consulted with Hans Bethe, a renowned colleague working in the Manhattan Project, in the autumn of 1942; Weisskopf subsequently corresponded with Robert Oppenheimer, then newly appointed to lead theoretical work for the Manhattan Project. According to Thomas Powers's account in Heisenberg's War, Weisskopf wrote, "I believe that by far the best thing to do in this situation would be to organize a kidnapping of Heisenberg in Switzerland." Over time, within the Manhattan Project and the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), Weisskopf's proposal mutated into a plot to kill Heisenberg — a plot that very nearly came to pass.
Because much, although still not everything, about the plot to assassinate Heisenberg is known, and because it is no longer politically sensitive, the case is worth delving into in some detail, as it adds clarity to more modern cases. One key element in the problem that confronted the Allies during World War II, however, was very different from later episodes: No one could doubt that Heisenberg would greatly advantage any Nazi effort to build an atomic bomb. Powers relates Oppenheimer's view in 1944 that "the position of Heisenberg in German physics is essentially unique. If we were [undertaking a bomb project] in Germany, we should make desperate efforts to have Heisenberg as a collaborator." What the Allies could not know were Heisenberg's intentions, and they famously remain a matter of debate, and even drama, today.
American and British officials initially ignored the suggestion of Weisskopf and Bethe that Heisenberg be kidnapped. But the seed was planted — and it sprouted into kidnapping plans 15 months later.
Physicist Niels Bohr escaped from Nazi-controlled Denmark in September 1943, bearing what the New York Times described — in an early leak of nuclear weapons-related information — as "plans for a new invention involving atomic explosions … of the greatest importance to the Allied war effort." What Bohr carried was a rough sketch given to him by Heisenberg during their famous 1941 Copenhagen conversation; Bohr took the sketch to be of a weapon, but it was most likely a nuclear reactor.
