The threat of attack is continually on the horizon and attackers are consistently using misconfigurations and vulnerabilities found in a victim's organization with malicious intent. Organizations need to properly identify their weaknesses and create a plan of action on how to remediate these exposures against future attacks. Those who aren't continually searching for vulnerabilities can be left ill prepared against attackers looking to take advantage of these open threats.
It's critical that organizations look to create a vulnerability management program that follows the lifecycle of: Discovery, prioritizing, reporting and remediation of their vulnerabilities. With CCSI's vulnerability management-as-a-service our security operations center (SOC) will assist with tailoring a program around your unique environment. We'll assist with discovering and classifying systems within your network and create custom scheduled scans to search for vulnerabilities. Once the discovery and vulnerability scans are complete our SOC will analyze and prioritize the results to offer our clients added visibility into where their greatest risks lie. We then create reports that will assist with creating metrics to measure their vulnerability management programs success. Lastly, if needed, we can assist with the remediation of the vulnerabilities and retest to validate that the exposures has been remediated.
There are many reasons that organizations require vulnerability management. Many times it's to increase their security posture, an audit finding or compliance. At CCSI, we're familiar with working with all enterprises in order to fulfill your needs when creating a vulnerability management program.
With our vulnerability scanning options we assist with identifying vulnerabilities from different perspectives. This helps us guide our clients on prioritization of exposed risk by analyzing your environment from different angles.
The perimeter of your network is exposed to attackers and needs to be validated that it's not vulnerable. Our external vulnerability scans are done remotely over the internet and allow us to see your network like an adversary would. These scans are performed against all scan targets listed below.
Locate and identify vulnerabilities within your network. With our service we can scan your internal LAN to identify risks within your environment. This helps discover exposures behind your firewall that would be at risk to an attacker that's already gained access to an internal endpoint (E.g Phishing). These scans are performed against all scan targets listed below.
With our managed vulnerability management offering CCSI is able to manage these services for your enterprise to give you the best possible chance in detecting open threats on your organization's internal and external assets. This solution can be fully managed and comes complete with our 24×7 SOC to assist with customizing our offering to your particular business needs. This includes the fine tuning, scheduling, implementation and day-to-day management of your vulnerability management program.

Carmakers' hands tied as EU agrees CO2 targets will be based on new test
CO2 targets for 2021 for new cars will be based on an improved test, the WLTP (Worldwide harmonised Light Vehicles Test Procedure), after a decision today by the European Council and the European Commission. Sustainable transport group Transport & Environment (T&E) welcomes the decision as the conversion methodology will limit how much carmakers can manipulate tests to meet 2021 CO2 limits for new cars.

The agreed methodology will take WLTP CO2 test results and convert these back into a metric equivalent to the current obsolete NEDC laboratory test using a correlation tool to maintain equivalent stringency between the tests. This approach enables the existing carmaker CO2 targets to be used with the improved WLTP test.
Greg Archer, clean vehicles director at T&E, said: "We congratulate Commissioner Cañete and his team on completing this complex technical exercise that complements last week's decision to implement WLTP for all cars from 2018. The decision will begin to eliminate some of the ways carmakers manipulate CO2 tests but we need a new 2025 car CO2 regulation to secure the full benefits of the WLTP test."
T&E has reservations about some aspects of the correlation tool that allow for some unfair flexibilities in the current NEDC test. However, the benefits of introducing the WLTP test from 2018 and using this as the basis for assessing 2021 car CO2 targets are more important than continuing arguments over the details of the correlation tool.
The current test (NEDC) is riddled with loopholes that carmakers use to manipulate test rules to produce artificially low official CO2 and fuel economy figures. This has caused the gap between test and real-world performance to grow from 8% in 2001 to over 40% now. As a result, the actual fuel efficiency of cars on the road has been stagnating for past three years.
Although the new WLTP test is an important step forward, it is still a standard laboratory test executed under set conditions and hence prone to new forms of vehicle 'optimisation' – by 2025 the gap between the WLTP results and real-world performance is expected to be over 30%. It is therefore necessary to complement lab testing with road tests for CO2 to ensure emissions reductions are delivered on the road and reduce test manipulation.
"Step by step, Europe is beginning to rebuild its discredited system for testing and approving cars. But there is much more to do to ensure the approval of cars is independent, rigorous and transparent," Greg Archer concluded.
Member states and the Parliament are currently negotiating a proposal for reviewing the system of approving new cars for sale in the EU. The European Commission is preparing a proposal for post-2020 CO2 standards for new cars, which is expected to be made in the first quarter of 2017 and will be based on the WLTP test.

How Mining Professionals Can Successfully Navigate Remote Collaboration
Strategic investment in technology supports collaborative and efficient remote work.
We Are All Immersed In Profound Changes
Current global circumstances resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic have had an enormous impact on life as we know it, including populations, economies, and primary industries. Right now, the most often heard words in the world are uncertainty and volatility, a symptom of fears shared both at the level of people's daily lives, and by companies of all sizes, regardless of industry or market. We are all immersed in profound changes and trying to learn ways to better manage these unprecedented times.
As individuals, we are all adopting new routines and activities with our children, families, and society in general. In a similar way, businesses are reassessing processes and systems to face this complex new reality. A reality with ripple effects that most likely will be felt for years to come.
For mining companies, this means working to maintain healthy cash flows even as they strain to meet their production goals and cost controls, all while managing the main challenge of keeping their teams safe and healthy.
Challenges In Working Remotely
In all this context, many of the professionals, who in the past were involved daily in mining operations now must fulfill their responsibilities off-site, using different technologies available in their company to remotely access operational data and support their colleagues in the production cycle. And so, systems that currently store and manage data in easily accessible databases are turning out to be particularly advantageous — this is the case for most financial and administrative information systems, which can be accessed just by having an internet connection.
But what about access to mining data that is created and managed by commonly-used end-user applications? What options are available for mining professionals to access their reserve and planning block models, their topographic surfaces, or updated photos for each planning period? How are they developing the mining plans that require collaborative work? How are they updating and reconciling their reserves with the information generated with the new blasts?
Surely many of them must keep a copy of their work data on their own laptops, unaware of the work their colleagues do over a common dataset. It is likely that many have encountered serious problems trying to replicate work procedures they commonly used in their operation. And although supervisors want to maintain the efficiency they had in the past, and their companies want to support them in meeting their goals, it all can be an arduous exercise without the right tools.
The possibility for commonly used mining data to be accessed remotely and simultaneously by all users, the potential for collaborative work, the ability to easily replicate workflows – that is, auditable and online approved workflows – are not only lofty aspirations but necessary functionalities in order to succeed in the current remote working environment and to meet the operational objectives.
Strategic Investment In The Right Technology
From a technological point of view, strategic investment on all those technologies that support collaborative and efficient remote work is essential to succeed in a post-COVID world. Consider autonomous fleets, remote operations centers, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence among some of the technologies that will become ubiquitous in a business environment.
COVID-19 accelerated the adoption of new technology in our everyday lives to an amazing rate. But the window of opportunity for organizations to prepare themselves for the adoption of what cannot longer be called future technology is closing. And mining organizations, with their infinite amounts of data, will need a modern and intuitive open data platform that facilitates greater connectivity, systems integration, collaborative remote work in real-time, and the adoption of these modern technologies.
Eclipse's SourceOne platform is the one mining-specific data platform built free of technology barriers to provide the flexibility needed to adapt to operational changes and solve the aforementioned challenges.

On Sunday, we climbed to a fire lookout in the middle of the Willamette National Forest. We trekked a nectarine pie all the way to the top, along with an assortment of sleeping gear, jars of whiskey and wine, a shotgun, and far, far too many provisions for one night. But I suppose that's to be expected when you put three nurses together in the backcountry who have each survived enough emergency scenarios to know how important warmth, weapons, snacks, and liquor can become when the plot hits a twist.
Fortunately, there were no plot twists or emergencies to speak of on this trip. Only wonder and amazement, sun-napping, peak-sighting, horizon-staring, bird-watching, book-reading, and feasting. And because sometimes the words just aren't sufficient (or necessary) to explain, here's a photo essay to do the talking. Enjoy.
We ate the whole pie. Then we made dinner.
After we came down the mountain, full of pie and whiskey, warmth and big-hearted love—the kind of love that buzzes around easily from shoulder to shoulder like the bees drunk on the pollen of wild rhododendrons rooted to the slopes outside the cabin—we took to the forest backroads and tiptoed into Narnia, plunging into her cool aquamarine waters, and baptizing away the dust of another 24 triumphant hours of being alive.
May your sunrises forever be inspired and brimming with the electricity of the possible, the yet-to-be-imagined, the too-incredible-to-believe, and the too-irresistable-to-say-no.


Lose the mama weight once and for all.
Whatever happened to YOU?? The woman before the mom? The one who lived her best life.
Do you still feel like the master of your own body post-kids? Or do you instead feel like your #mombod and physical cravings are now mastering you?
Having trouble getting on top of taking care of yourself, because you're so busy taking care of them?
Are you filled with negative self-talk instead of confidence?
You were not created to live in a pit of shame and self-doubt.
Let's get you re-acquainted with your most confident, empowered, body-loving self, shall we?
Ya know....I have always felt like it should be called 'mama' weight, instead of 'baby' weight, because if you're anything like me you only gained some of it with pregnancy. The rest was gained by consuming the fastest, easiest, cheapest junk food possible for months...years even...while you worked tirelessly trying to keep your littles alive and happy.
I remember how frustrating it was to experience major body changes after having kids, but being too exhausted and emotionally tapped out to change it.
Once I figured out how to actually make it do-able without feeling like a slave to it, it changed everything.
I was able to take care of myself for a change and I felt SO much better. It truly improved so many areas in my life. I felt like me again!
So I made it my mission to help other mamas experience the same.
That's why I have spent a lot of time creating something just for the mama who desperately wants to get her body back, but struggles with it every time she tries.
A six week mind + body program that addresses the REAL reasons you haven't been able to lose weight. This is the only program of its kind, and it's built for YOU and your #momlife.
(Already thinking 'Heck yes, sign me up!'??
Focusing on both mind and body is the secret sauce that leads to killer success.
B. = Belief. The very first thing we need to do before attempting transformation in any way, shape, or form is to learn to truly BELIEVE we can do it. So that is where we start. We dig into the what's been holding us back, and keeping us stuck, and create a solid plan to move forward with confidence.
A. = Attitude. Next we work on our attitude: towards ourselves, our bodies, and our relationship with food.
B. = Body. After we we get our belief and our attitude in check, it's time to start taking care of our bodies and giving them what they need so they can look their best, and feel their best. I'll teach you my most effective (and easiest) ways to do this, even with a family to feed!
E. = Energy. And last, but certainly not least, we crank up our energy. Not just our physical energy, but our emotional and spiritual energies as well, which sets us up for success long-term.
Basically, we get you comfortable in your own skin, while we make healthy changes.
It was also super important to me that this plan would work for mamas in particular.
I did the whole mainstream 'weight loss/diet' thing for YEARS. And couldn't figure out why it wasn't working.
Little did I know that my mindset, patterns, habits, and beliefs about food AND myself all needed a full reset before I could ever expect my body to change long-term.
Once I started working on those things it made all the difference in the world.
3) Your body starts to change along with your mindset, and a B.A.B.E. is born!
It works because it's a long-term solution that lays some super important groundwork first, and then adapts to who you are as a person, a mother, and a woman.
Need this in your life?
are things that one-size-fits-all 'diets' and diet products just don't address.
So instead, this one's for the moms who have portion envy, regularly succumb to the rest of their kids' barely-touched mac and cheese), and feel like a healthy lifestyle ends up being just another chore on their to-do list.
I'm Julie. Mom of three.
I'm 48 years old, and have been ALL the moms at this point of my life (single, married, working, stay-at-home, you name it).
One thing I know for sure is that moms have their own special set of challenges when trying to do anything for themselves, so this plan is 100% mom-friendly, while still taking care of YOU and your needs as well.
Designed to address a mom's body, and a mom's lifestyle.
First, we lay the groundwork, then we eat the things.
Learn why you're never gonna lose weight unless you address these issues beforehand!
Find out what works for YOUR body and lifestyle. And the exact steps that will get you results without feeling like you're missing out!
Here's where I'll teach you ERRTHANG about the right food! What to eat, when to eat it, how to eat it, and how to LOVE every minute of it!
Learn about the FIVE things that can help you lose faster, plus keep the weight off with ease.
Discover a bunch of awesome resources and tools that you can use to support your new-found confidence and moxie, instead of reverting back to raiding the cookie jar!
In this step you'll find out where you can go from here as you continue towards your goals!
"I have noticed that I feel better and not so sluggish"
"I like how you prepared a life style change mentally first....instead of saying just stop eating junk all at once. That has helped me along with other advice you had given"
"It was great for a busy mama"
"I've had this cloud of doom over my head, convinced that I'd never find a plan that I could make work for me and my family....I went to the course and started the 'Nourish' module and almost started crying! This is literally an answer to prayer!"
"I'm amazed at how well I feel"
"THANK YOU for creating the program!"
Still not sure this is for you? Have some questions?
The program is meant to be six weeks in total, although you can complete it a bit quicker than that if you spend more time per day reviewing the material.
How much time does it take to do review the materials?
You should be able to review the material in less than 15 minutes each day, unless you decide to work more quickly.
What types of materials are there?
The program includes written lessons, videos, worksheets, and activities for you to do. Everything is very straight-forward and easy to follow.
What all does the program cover?
Quite a bit. You can check out the section above to see a bit of a breakdown. But if I had to summarize it I would say that it focuses on mindset work to build your confidence, and then body changes through food (and some other tools) to change your body.
The eating plan portion of the program consists of real, whole food ingredients (mostly gluten free) with the occasional convenience food thrown in to save time. Meat, eggs, fruits, vegetables, legumes, some grains, and some dairy make up the bulk of the diet.
Do I have to buy anything additional?
Aside from food, no. Although I do make some additional recommendations of things you can add if you choose. None of them are required to meet with success though.
I eat gluten free/dairy free/vegan/vegetarian. Will this work for me?
The recommended foods are already largely gluten free, and you could eliminate dairy if you choose. If your vegetarian diet relies heavily on grain products then you might have some difficulty with the recommended eating plan.
Ready to roll? Let's go.

Rick Ungar Is Wrong: Obama Is The Biggest Spender In World History
Peter Ferrara
Former Contributor
I cover public policy, particularly concerning economics.
(Official White House Photo by Pete Souza) (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
On May 24, 2012, Rick Ungar told the readers at Forbes.com that President Barack Obama "is the smallest government spender since Eisenhower." "[O]ur president has actually been tighter with a buck than any United States president since Dwight D. Eisenhower," Ungar insisted.
But Ungar actually reveals the error in the underlying analysis, saying, "The first year of any incoming president term is saddled – for better of for worse – with the budget set by the president whom immediately precedes the new occupant in the White House. Indeed, not only was the 2009 budget the property of George W. Bush – and passed by the 2008 Congress – it was in effect four months before Barack Obama took the oath of office."
This is factually incorrect.
The previous president proposes a budget, in February of the prior year. But the previous Congress approves, enacts and implements the budget. And what Congress approves, enacts, and implements can be radically different from what the President proposes.
President Bush did not have a good record on spending. From the start of his first term, he and the Republican Congress began a spending spree that increased government spending by one seventh as a percent of GDP, virtually exactly erasing the gains achieved by the Congress led by former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, in conjunction with President Bill Clinton.
But for fiscal year 2009, President Bush in February, 2008 proposed a budget with just a 3% spending increase over the prior year. Recall, however, that in 2008 Congress was controlled by Democrat majorities, with Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House, and the restless Senator Obama in his fourth year in the Senate. As Hans Bader reported on May 26 for the Washington Examiner, the budget approved, enacted and implemented by Pelosi, Obama and the rest of the Congressional Democrat majorities provided for a 17.9 percent increasein spending for fiscal 2009!
Actually, President Obama and the Democrats were even more deeply involved in the fiscal 2009 spending explosion than that. As Bader also reports, "The Democrat Congress [in 2008], confident Obama was going to win in 2008, passed only three of fiscal 2009's 12 appropriations bills (Defense, Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, and Homeland Security). The Democrat Congress passed the rest of them [in 2009], and [President] Obama signed them." So Obama played a very direct role in the runaway fiscal 2009 spending explosion.
Note as well that President Reagan didn't just go along with the wild spending binge of the previous Democrat Congress for fiscal year 1981 when he came into office on January 20 of that year. Almost no one remembers now the much vilified at the time 1981 Reagan budget cuts, his first major legislative initiative. Then Democrat Rep. Phil Gramm joined with Ohio Republican Del Latta to push through the Democrat House $31 billion in Reagan proposed budget cuts to the fiscal year 1981 budget, which totaled $681 billion, resulting in a cut of nearly 5% in that budget. Obama could have done the exact same thing when he entered office in January, 2009, even more so with the Congress totally controlled by his own party at the time.
Reagan then ramped up the spending cuts from there. In nominal terms, non-defense discretionary spending actually declined by 7.1% from 1981 to 1982. But roaring inflation at the time actually masks the true magnitude of the Reagan spending cut achievement. In constant dollars, non-defense discretionary spending declined by 14.4% from 1981 to 1982, and by 16.8% from 1981 to 1983. Moreover, in constant dollars, this non-defense discretionary spending never returned to its 1981 level for the rest of Reagan's two terms! By 1988, this spending was still down 14.4% from its 1981 level in constant dollars.
Even with the Reagan defense buildup, which, remember, won the Cold War without firing a shot (in Margaret Thatcher's famous phrase), total federal spending as a percent of GDP declined from a high of 23.5% of GDP in 1983 to 21.3% in 1988 and 21.2% in 1989. That's a real reduction in the size of government relative to the economy of 10%, a huge achievement.
In sharp contrast to Reagan, Obama's first major legislative initiative was the so-called stimulus, which increased future federal spending by nearly a trillion dollars, the most expensive single piece of legislation in history up to that point. This record shattering spending bill only stimulated government spending, deficits and debt. Contrary to official Democrat Keynesian witchcraft, you don't promote economic recovery, growth and prosperity by borrowing a trillion dollars out of the economy to spend a trillion dollars back into it.
But this was just a warm up for Obama's Swedish socialism. Obama worked with Pelosi's Democrat Congress to pass an additional, $410 billion, supplemental spending bill for fiscal year 2009, which was too much even for big spending President Bush, who had specifically rejected it in 2008. Next in 2009 came a $40 billion expansion in the SCHIP entitlement program, as if we didn't already have way more than too much entitlement spending.
Ungar's analysis proceeds by not counting as part of Obama's record all this precedent shattering fiscal 2009 spending, attributing that instead to Bush. But as I have just shown, Barack Obama was directly and personally responsible for the 2009 spending explosion. Of course from those stratospheric heights, the pace of further spending increases may seem slower, just like if Jack in the Beanstalk and the Jolly Green Giant both eat the same feast, the percentage weight gain for the Giant will be so much smaller than for Jack.
Moreover, in the 2010 election, the voters elected a Republican majority House in a New Deal size, 63 seat landslide, precisely to shut down President Obama's runaway federal spending, deficits and debt. So that slowed the growth of federal spending in President Obama's last two years in office, though the Republican House had to take Obama to the brink of default on the national debt to win any spending restraint at all.
Of course, that didn't stop Obama from earning his crown as the biggest government spender in world history. The biggest single spending bill in world history, Obamacare, was enacted in March, 2010, before the 2010 elections could shut Obama down. That legislation, not yet even counted in Obama's spending record so far because it mostly does not go into effect until 2014, is now scored by CBO as increasing federal spending by $1.76 trillion in the first 10 years alone, with trillions more to come in future years. Indeed, as explained in detail in my 2011 book, America's Ticking Bankruptcy Bomb, that is surely still a gross underestimate.
After just one year of the Obama spending binge, federal spending had already rocketed to 25.2% of GDP, the highest in American history except for World War II. That compares to 20.8% in 2008, and an average of 19.6% during Bush's two terms. The average during President Clinton's two terms was 19.8%, and during the 60-plus years from World War II until 2008 -- 19.7%. Obama's own budget released in February projects the average during the entire 4 years of the Obama Administration to come in at 24.4%, the highest for any Presidential term in American history, except for World War II. Even with a Republican Congress holding him back for half his term, President Obama still managed to increase the federal government by close to one-fourth during that one term, as compared to the average during the entire 60 plus years of the postwar era.
In sharp contrast, when Eisenhower came into office in 1953, he cut federal spending that year of $76.1 billion, already just 2% of Obama's spending this year, to $70.9 billion in 1954, and again to $68.4 billion in 1955. Federal spending did not really climb above the 1953 level until 1958. During his first term, Eisenhower slashed federal spending from 20.4% of GDP when he came into office in 1953 to 16.5% of GDP in 1956. President Obama as noted above did just the opposite in increasing federal spending by roughly the same amount as a percent of GDP in his one term.
Moreover, unbounded by the Republican House in his 2013 budget proposal for the future, President Obama's 2013 budget actually proposes to spend $47 trillion over the next 10 years, the highest in world history by far. Indeed, in that 2013 budget, President Obama proposes to send federal spending soaring by 2022 to $5.820 trillion for that one year, the highest government spending for one year for any nation in world history. Even Obama's own OMB scores spending under the President's 2013 budget as soaring to 30% of GDP by 2022, 50% above the long run, postwar, historical average of 20% of GDP. So Obama aims in his 2013 budget to increase the federal government by half above the postwar, bipartisan consensus.
CBO projects that on our current course, under current policies, federal spending would soar to 30 percent of GDP by 2027, 40 percent by 2040, 50 percent by 2060, and 80 percent by 2080. President Obama, by vociferously opposing any entitlement reform to reduce spending, instead vastly increasing entitlement spending with Obamacare and expanded SCHIP, would not do anything to take America off this path to third world oblivion. But the Left tells us that President Obama is tighter with a buck than any President since Eisenhower. That is why leaving liberals alone to play with numbers is like leaving small children alone to play with matches.

James Key was eager to attest to the widesweeping changes that can be seen on the STR10 here in Barcelona as he admitted the initial car was just a banker to get mileage under both the new drivers belts.
As part of this almost B spec car the STR10 is sporting a new nose, as their original longer nose was easier to get through the crash tests. The shorter 'thumb' style nose is similar in design to Red Bull and Williams and should allow more airflow to travel under the nose. The team had originally used camera stalks, in a similar vein to those used by Mercedes, Ferrari and latterly Red Bull last season. With all the teams having received a technical directive from Charlie Whiting in regard to their legality, Toro Rosso have abandoned them in their latest design, opting for a simple side mounting.
The change in nose has also prompted a rethink on the chassis, as pectoral fins have sprouted on the upper surfaces periphery. These will help guide the airflow, spilling vortices that will assist in the sidepods performance.
The STR10's front wing (right, below) is now a 5 flap, 6 outer tier configuration and more than ever resembles the sort of layout you'd see on the Red Bull car. Changes have also been made to the cascades, with a smaller arrangement now hung from the main cascade.
Toro Rosso had been deliberately cautious with the STR10's cooling as they always tend to be, at this final pre-season test the team have deleted the oil cooler snorkels though (upper left inset, below), with the job likely taken care of by the the main airbox.
A new vertical strake has been added to the STR10 in the tyre deck region (below), helping to control how tyre squirt impinges on the diffusers performance. The shorter triangular strake that's been added is also curved in toward the sidepod, rolling the airflow it receives.
The team have also changed their rear wing support pylon, previously the pylon attached to the lower forward edge of the mainplane (left inset, below), whilst the new support is a swan-neck style pylon, connecting to the DRS actuator above the mainplane. This will help reduce separation on the underside of the mainplane, especially in yaw as it affords the mainplane more freestream airflow.
The team have changed their Y100 winglet (monkey seat), which now bears some resemblance to the one the team used initially in 2014. I'm rather sad to see their previous (leaf) iteration go as it looked so elegant but this one obviously has been designed to interact with the other structures more efficiently. It has three main elements, joined to curved endplates. These curved elements are reminiscent of the ones used by Mercedes on the W05's winglet and look to manipulate the exhaust plume.
The team have made widesweeping changes to the STR10's rear wing endplates, the new ones (right,below) feature twin leading edge tyre wake slots, an array of strakes which promote the upwash of the airflow, whilst the louvres have been reshaped too.

Mary McKenna's Blog
Come ramble with me…
Ambassador Pat Hennessy
3 days in Dubai – jumping in at my new startup's deep end!
Day 1 on the stand, Leeann Monk-Ozgul, Mary McKenna, Jennifer Neff, Dr Ola Aldafrawy of Dubai Health Authority, Alastair Hamilton CEO Invest NI, Swathi Sri Invest NI
I announced a week ago today that I've begun the New Year with a bang by formally joining Northern Irish tech for good startup, Elemental Software. I say "formally" because I've been the company's mentor for the last 10 months via Northern Ireland's excellent Propel programme. For anyone else who's old enough to remember the 1970s it's been a bit like that old Remington ad with the smooth as silk American entrepreneur Victor Kiam… Joking aside I can thoroughly recommend working in a company as the best possible way to conduct due diligence prior to investment and would be interested to hear from any other angels who've done the same.
The three of us at one of the parties – oops – I mean networking events
Elemental's co-founders are Leeann Monk-Ozgul & Jennifer Neff & believe it or not they met through their mutual love of diagrams…which in my book is as good a way as any to identify a business partner. Both women have a strong track record in designing and managing community programmes and both have worked for many years in the tricky interface that exists between the private, public and third sectors. Even better, Jennifer and Leeann are both from Derry and it makes me very happy to continue supporting economic growth in the North West of Ireland by backing another local company that is without doubt destined for huge global success. Indeed, the golden thread that links the three of us is no other than Sir Ken Robinson – yes – he of "schools kill creativity" TED fame. Jennifer, Leeann and I were all at Sir Ken's March 2011 talk in Derry but we didn't know each other at the time.
Sir Ken Robinson in Derry with his mug on a mug
They saw me taking photos and wondered who I was and they loved his talk so much that they eventually based their company name on Sir Ken's book "The Element: How Finding Your Passion Changes Everything" – far more sensible than what I did as a result of meeting him which was put his face on a mug (or should I say a cult collectible!).
Elemental provides an early to market digital solution that eases and addresses an escalating set of health related social challenges. Social prescribing is described as a way of linking patients in primary care with sources of support within the community. It's as simple as that and it gives, for example, GPs a non-medical referral option that will run alongside existing treatments to improve a patient's health and well-being.
Jennifer, Leeann & I with Ambassador Pat Hennessy, Irish Ambassador to UAE
This past week Jennifer, Leeann & I have been exhibiting at Arab Health in the World Trade Centre in Dubai. Thank you to all those people who opened their black books for me and made introductions before our trip out there. It was my first time visiting the Middle East on business and there was an awful lot to take in in a very short space of time. Dubai itself is easily accessible from Ireland with 30 direct flights a week from Dublin and only a 4 hour time difference. The city has the feel of a pioneer town and I can see why so many Irish and British people (young and old) are out there seeking their fortunes.
Jennifer and Leeann presenting to Nicola Blackwood MP at our stand
Arab Health in itself was an experience and a half. Vast doesn't come close with 40 country pavilions and 20,000 visitors a day. We were lucky in so many ways. We'd been selected to participate in the Invest Northern Ireland stand and as one of our co-founders, Jennifer Neff, has already been working with potential UAE clients for a couple of years she was able to line up days and days worth of useful meetings in advance. We weren't so lucky on the accommodation front. Booking.com let us down badly by cancelling our booking on the day of our arrival in Dubai and it was incredibly difficult to find somewhere to stay at such short notice. However, in the spirit of making lemonade from lemons we embraced the opportunity to stay for a few days in a more authentic part of the old town and see some sights we'd have otherwise missed.
Elemental is about to roll out the first social prescribing programme in the United Arab Emirates region, connecting key stakeholders in diabetes prevention and supporting patients most at risk to make better lifestyle choices, enhancing their quality of life and reducing demand on health services.
Three of us with Dr Mohammad
Being at Arab Health was an amazing chance for me as an investor and part time resource to meet some of our contacts face to face and to hear from them first hand how they love the simplicity of our platform and how they intend to use it.
We were also lucky to be selected as one of the UK companies that MP and Minister for Public Health and Innovation, Nicola Blackwood, requested to meet with when she was at Arab Health earlier this week. It was wonderful to have the opportunity to explain how our social prescribing platform will help improve people's lives to someone who feels as passionately about social justice as Nicola does.
Around the edges of the conference we networked with our Irish business community friends and colleagues, attending a number of events including that hosted by His Excellency Ambassador Pat Hennessy, Irish Ambassador to UAE (and at which Irish Minister for Employment and Small Business Pat Breen TD and Dr Mohammad Abdulqader Al Redha of Dubai Health Authority spoke so well).
With Minister Pat Breen TD at the Enterprise Ireland networking event
Dr Mohammad is an alumni of the Royal College of Surgeons Ireland and having spent 8 years in Dublin is truly an honorary Irishman. It was great to also squeeze in an early morning healthcare focused business breakfast with the Dubai Irish Business Network, to manage to see our good friend Eithne Treanor a number of times over the course of a few days and to meet our friend Barry Lee Cummings who works with his Northern Irish counterpart Wayne Denner on a worthy mission to help young people better manage their online reputations and combat cyberbullying.
With Irish powerhouse Eithne Treanor at the Dubai IBN breakfast – if you only knew one person in Dubai but it was Eithne you'd be ok!
They say a week is a long time in politics but I can confirm it's also a long time in a busy startup. For anyone out there who's seeking their own angel and wondering why I picked Elemental from all the hundreds of approaches I get these are the reasons I'd have given you if you'd asked me last Friday – awesome female founding team, growing social prescribing market, powerful product that's also simple to use and understand and the fact that it's tech for good. A week later I would add – co-founders that are both great on their feet, deep customer and sector knowledge and a level of commitment and hard work I've never seen in another startup. Keep your fingers crossed for us and watch our progress. Life in a startup is never easy – even when everyone's on message, working their butts off and the planets all seem to be aligned. Comments welcome as always.

Missions to Comet d'Arrest & Asteroid Eros in the 1970s (1966)

Comet d'Arrest. Image: NASA/D. Harvey, University of Arizona Steward Observatory

The comet designated C/1965 S1 - better known as Comet Ikeya-Seki, for its discoverers, Kaoru Ikeya and Tsutomu Seki - was perhaps the brightest comet of the past 1000 years. Ikeya and Seki independently discovered the inbound "dirty snowball" on 18 September 1965. As it approached the Sun in mid-October 1965, it blazed in daylight skies at magnitude -10 (that is, it was 100 times brighter than the planet Venus, which is typically the brightest object in earthly skies after the Sun and moon).
Shortly before it became lost in the Sun's glare, Comet Ikeya-Seki was observed to have broken into three major pieces. On 21 October 1965, the three parts of the comet passed a mere 450,000 kilometers from the Sun's surface. The fractured comet then emerged from the glare sporting a very bright tail, possibly because its fragmentation had exposed fresh ice. The fragments remained close together as Comet Ikeya-Seki retreated from the Sun. By early 1966, it was lost to sight. Its fragments might return to the inner Solar System as separate comets in about 900 years.

Soon after Comet Ikeya-Seki left the inner Solar System, Tim Kreiter, with NASA's Lewis Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio, prepared a brief report in which he outlined what might have become NASA's first missions to a comet and an asteroid. Kreiter sought to demonstrate that the space agency could aim for targets other than the moon, Venus, and Mars - all of which it had reached by mid-1965 - using existing or near-term spacecraft technology and "intermediate-sized" Atlas-derived launch vehicles.
Kreiter's target comet was 6P/d'Arrest, named for its 19th-century discoverer, German astronomer Heinrich Louis d'Arrest. Kreiter cited a NASA-funded March 1965 Illinois Institute of Technology Research Institute (IITRI) study that singled out the 1976 d'Arrest mission opportunity as the most favorable of any comet mission opportunity between 1965 and 1986.
Comet d'Arrest, a relatively faint comet, follows an elliptical orbit with an aphelion (point farthest from the Sun) just beyond Jupiter's orbit and a perihelion (point nearest the Sun) just beyond Earth's. As the comet neared perihelion, solar heating would cause its surface to become active, making it an interesting target for spacecraft exploration. A flyby spacecraft that intercepted Comet d'Arrest at the time of its 1976 perihelion would do so less than 0.16 Astronomical Units (that is, 0.16 times the Earth-Sun distance) from Earth. Close proximity to Earth would permit a relatively high rate of data return and enable Earth-based astronomers to closely monitor Comet d'Arrest during the flyby.
Jupiter's gravity often reshapes the orbits of comets. Because of this, Kreiter wrote, astronomers would need to track Comet d'Arrest for at least two months before spacecraft launch to precisely determine its orbit. Again citing the 1965 IITRI study, he explained that Comet d'Arrest would need to attain a magnitude of at least 20 before it could be located using Earth's largest telescopes. This would, he wrote, occur seven or eight months before planned launch, providing space navigators with ample time to plot the comet's orbit.

Kreiter considered Atlas-derived rockets designated SLV-3A/Agena, SLV-3C/Kick, and SLV-3C/Centaur. These could in 1976 deliver to Comet d'Arrest a robotic spacecraft with a mass of 950, 1540, and 2310 pounds, respectively. For comparison, Mariner II, the first spacecraft to fly past Venus (14 December 1962), had a mass of about 450 pounds, while Mariner IV, the first to fly past Mars (14-15 July 1965), had a mass of about 575 pounds. (Kreiter did not offer a specific comet or asteroid spacecraft design; presumably, however, he had in mind spacecraft based on the existing Mariner designs.)
Kreiter had his Comet d'Arrest flyby spacecraft leave Earth between 22 March and 21 April 1976. Daily launch windows lasting about 2.5 hours would occur throughout the planned launch period. The launch vehicle would boost the Agena, Kick, or Centaur upper stage and attached spacecraft into a 100-nautical-mile-high Earth parking orbit. There the upper stage and attached spacecraft would loiter for from 10 to 20 minutes before the upper stage engine ignited to place the spacecraft on course for Comet d'Arrest. After the upper stage depleted its propellants, it would separate.
Travel time to Comet d'Arrest would range from 115 to 145 days, with the precise journey duration and flyby date determined by the date of launch from Earth. The spacecraft would zoom past the comet moving at about 12.8 kilometers per second, Kreiter calculated, so would spend only 4.4 hours within 100,000 kilometers of its target. This might mean, he wrote, that some desirable scientific investigations - for example, imaging the heart of the comet up close, which would demand precise camera aiming - would not be possible.
Kreiter's asteroid flyby mission - which would have as its target the Near-Earth Asteroid 433 Eros - would launch between 9 August and 8 September 1974, about 1.5 years before his Comet d'Arrest mission. He estimated that during that period the SLV-3A/Agena could launch to Eros a robotic spacecraft with a mass of 1030 pounds; the corresponding masses for the SLV-3C/Kick and SLV-3C Centaur launchers were, respectively, 1625 pounds and 2310 pounds. The Eros flyby spacecraft and its upper stage would orbit Earth for from 20 to 40 minutes before the latter ignited to send the former on its way.
The Eros spacecraft would fly past its target between 140 and 170 days after launch, with the precise encounter date being dependent on its launch date. As with the Comet d'Arrest mission, the flyby would occur near the target body's perihelion, when Eros and Eros spacecraft would pass no more than 0.13 Astronomical Units from Earth. Moving at about 7.2 kilometers per second, the spacecraft would spend about 7.9 hours within 100,000 kilometers of Eros.
American space scientists would have to wait many years for dedicated NASA comet and asteroid missions. In the meantime, they made do. The International Comet Explorer spacecraft - originally designated International Sun/Earth Explorer-3 - was launched in 1978, repurposed and renamed in 1982, and flown through 21P/Giacobini-Zinner's tail on 11 September 1985. The Galileo Jupiter orbiter flew past the Main Belt asteroid 951 Gaspra on 29 October 1991 on its way to its second gravity-assist Earth flyby.

The first automated NASA spacecraft designed especially to explore an asteroid and a comet did not leave Earth until 1996 and 1999, respectively. The former was the Near-Earth Asteroid Rendezvous (NEAR) Shoemaker spacecraft, which entered orbit around Eros on 14 February 2000, and the latter was Stardust, which flew by 81P/Wild 2 on 24 September 2003.
Both missions were far more ambitious than Kreiter's simple flybys. After orbiting Eros for almost a year, NEAR Shoemaker landed on Eros on 12 February 2001 and operated for about two weeks before draining its batteries. Stardust completed its primary mission by dropping off at Earth a reentry capsule containing Comet Wild 2 dust samples on 15 January 2006; in its extended mission, it flew past 9P/Tempel 1 on 15 February 2011, where it imaged a crater blasted in the comet by the Deep Impact spacecraft on 4 July 2005.

Firstly when you arrive into Australia an inspection will take place in your first port of call, during this inspection by an AQIS officer you will be asked to fill out a Quarantine Pre-Arrival report for vessels under 25 m and the quarantine officer will ask you a series of questions and conduct an inspection of the entire vessel for goods that are of quarantine concern.
This inspection will include all of the galley storage spaces including fridge, freezer and dry storage spaces for quarantine risk material including frozen and fresh meats and poultry products from risk countries, fresh fruits and vegetables which will then be seized and destroyed.
The quarantine officers will ask you about any souvenirs you have collected including shells, feathers, wooden artefacts and any matting, the quarantine officer will inspect these goods for quarantine concerns and if clear of these concerns the goods will be released. If there are issues with the goods, if treatment is required then that will either be conducted at the time of inspection or the goods could be sent for treatment depending on the situation or ultimately confiscated and destroyed.
A good way to assist us in processing your vessel is to check your wooden items if there are any small holes in them. If there is if you are comfortable in doing this you could place the artefacts into a bag and spray with standard household insecticide and seal the bag for a day. Inform the quarantine officer of your actions and this will assist in the processing.
