A long time ago in an organization far, far away… we had straightforward cybersecurity. There were relatively few assets, they were static and they accessed data through firewalls to prevent unauthorized access to a consolidated, authoritative data source: the network. Oh, and 'apps' weren't a thing yet. We called them 'programs' or 'applications' and they were large, on-premises, and relatively homogenous. After all, if each business unit had their own SAP system, that would cost each department head their firstborn child. This was a predictable universe.
In this world, there were not as many security controls, threats, or meaningful data 'out there' on endpoints. To keep attackers out of our data, we simply fortified the perimeter with a few dozen (maybe 100) access controls and didn't have to change much. To be a user was to be a corporate employee. To access data was to connect to the network.
Then, tragedy struck. Endpoints were no longer sourced from a single manufacturer, operating systems weren't the same, networks were no longer fortresses for important data, users seldom connected to corporate systems as they brought their own mobile devices, and applications stopped running on boxes with magnetic discs, chips, and fans.
As the world changed, so did security. Networks used to be a dense nucleus with all the things necessary for the information-driven enterprise. There were endpoints swirling around the nucleus, but the ratio was manageable. Now, endpoints are escaping the gravitational pull of the network. When that happens, all kinds of atomic instability follows.
Thankfully, the NIST Cybersecurity Framework the entered the stage, and with it, a set of practices we can use to identify the far-flung devices that play host to sensitive data and routine compromises that can swiftly lead to data loss. Within the Identify category of the NIST CSF, as introduced in my earlier post, there are five disciplines that can help organizations deal with this mutated world filled with uncertainty.
First comes the process of consuming information that is relevant to the endpoints: intelligence. Making up asset intelligence, we have devices, systems, controls, data, users, and the facilities that support these computing functions. Asset Intelligence has evolved from simply cataloging the machines in your possession, to a frame of mind that considers the business function associated with the IT resource. Starting from this point, we can better equip ourselves to understand the necessity of the device and its attendant security measures, because it is treated as the resource it ultimately is.
When you consider other assets in your organization, say, a desk, you don't tend to think about it as brackets, wood, physical dimensions, and so on. Instead, you synthesize a model and situation in which that resource will be used: "Jane Doe's work space." NIST CSF's call for asset intelligence must adopt this frame of mind, because without the context of the individual resources, we do not get the whole story for how our resources are providing value that exceeds their costs and risks.
If asset intelligence is the 'what' of identifying resources, the business environment would be the 'where'. To pinpoint and identify resources with any confidence, organizations must set priorities based on what's happening in their business. Perhaps you just went through a merger or acquisition. Perhaps you provide computing resources for contractors, or your organization is turning everyone into a remote employee. These contextual variants are essential to better analyze the current state of your cybersecurity posture.
Businesses are like snowflakes: they are composed of the same material but configured in unique ways. If we don't acknowledge this fact, identifying our current asset position will be hollow and less meaningful, which can only lead to failing to implement NIST CSF. With asset intelligence and the business environment in hand, we can start to apply principles and practices that help to ensure security intent is carried out.
Policy is the bedrock of all security programs, because at its very core it says, "This can do that; that cannot do this". Of course, security and business policies are more complex. But when you strip away the controls, metrics, reporting variables, and regulatory requirements, you're left with the realization that policy (what is allowed) serves to establish the baseline needed to see where your assets could be drifting from appropriate behaviors.
With a full understanding of your organization's procedures, policies, processes, and regulatory requirements, you can grade your current security controls relative to these standards. The policies may need a revision; they may need to be scrapped. That is a matter of evidence. And the evidence is waiting out there in each endpoint device to measure its nearness or distance from your standards and policies.
This is often one of the most overlooked requirements for NIST CSF because we leap down to the specific controls that protect data, access, and computing functions. But when we step back and simply ask the question: "Does this device comply with our governance standards?" we get a cold splash of reality. This is the starting point for a far more interesting interrogation on the risks inherent in our policies and the real-world behavior of users, devices, apps and data.
One cannot assess risks without intimate knowledge of the device. Let's take an example from biology. I am a human person. I come with standard equipment that can make me vulnerable to various dangers out there in the world. My vulnerable human body would not withstand an encounter with a live chainsaw.
But am I at-risk of amputation by chainsaw? No (because this is one of the reasons I avoid west Texas towns with deranged chainsaw slingers). The story is contrived, but the principle is valid: risks must be calculated with the vulnerable resource under the microscope, but also with a wide lens on the potential threats that could harm the resource. Both are essential. Without intimate knowledge (asset intelligence) you do not know what could happen. Without context (business environment) you do not know where it could happen. Without detailed understanding of policy (governance) you do not know what should happen. And without these core ingredients, the recipe for risk assessment never gets baked.
It is imperative when assessing risks to think about them in the fullness of your strategies and goals. Because risks need to be linked to how they can influence the outcomes of the strategic aim. This is the final piece of the Identify function of the NIST CSF.
This is more than a simple SWOT analysis or a roadmap for the years ahead. It comes down to the goals we have and how best to use technology to arrive safely to the destination. If an organization had the big, hairy audacious goal of being the world leader in consumer goods, their supply chain would be an appropriate place to put their attention. Supply chains are filled with waste, mishaps, multiple third-parties, and geopolitical influences that can derail your quest to global dominance. So, we implement technologies to overcome many of the challenges to achieve our strategic aims.
In the supply chain example, we may deploy just-in-time manufacturing and use mathematical models to simulate supply and demand probabilities. We may try to reduce risk of logistics failures by utilizing many sources for raw materials and shipping. We may put offices in certain locations to be 'near the ground' for things happening within the political and legal arenas that affect our operations. All of these are accomplished with technology, specifically, information technology.
As information is flowing and secure, it gives decision makers confidence. They are basing decisions on data with high integrity. This kind of reasoning must factor into our pursuit of the NIST CSF. Without a thorough understanding of our inherent risks and the risks imposed by being an entity in the real world (with other entities pursuing their goals), we would be at a loss to implement technical controls that align with our goals and the risks that come with any goal-directed action.
The NIST CSF provides the guidance and blueprint that so many organizations are lacking. To get to any destination, you first must know where you are. This is why identifying your resources is so vital; these are the required armaments needed for engaging with the digital world. With asset intelligence, we get a strong baseline for what is. We can add the contextual variables from the business environment and our governance standards to get a starting point that says, "All things being equal, this is what should happen". But the second law of thermodynamics will necessarily remind us that entropy will drag us from order to disorder. This immutable law of the universe demands that we assess our risks relative to our strategic aims and play the counterfactual game of what could happen when we fiddle with the variables on our strategic quest.
With all this in place, we will succeed with the Identify pillar of NIST CSF. Start with what you have, orient yourself within your business context, establish what should happen, factor in the risks of this uncertain real world, and align your risk appetite with your ultimate goal.

Home The Israeli-UAE Deal
The Israeli-UAE Deal
Amb K P Fabian
August 19 , 2020 Views: 3984 Comments: 0
On 13th August 2020, President Trump announced that he had brokered a deal between Israel and the U.A.E to normalize relations. It is rather strange that a third country should be the first to announce a deal between two other countries. Obviously, Trump, facing hostile electoral winds, wanted the limelight all to himself.
This is the only instance of successful diplomacy by the Trump presidency to intervene and broker a deal of major importance. However, it should be borne in mind that the U.A.E., established in 1971, when seven emirates ( Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Dubai, Fujairah, Ras Al Khaimah, Sharjah, and Umm Al Quwain) came together under the leadership of Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, has signalled for a while its willingness, nay eagerness, to establish diplomatic relations with Israel. Similarly, Israel has been pursuing the goal of reaching out to Arab states individually for decades with an impressive tenacity of purpose. In short, it is not the case that Trump brought together two states that were about to go to war. He was knocking at an open door.
Effusive Trump & Netanyahu: a Defensive Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed
Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Trump were understandably effusive as they announced the deal, and the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi was less than effusive. Trump called it 'historic' and a breakthrough toward peace. Trump is right in saying it is 'historic' and not exactly right in his reference to peace. Egypt under Anwar Sadat was the first Arab state to sign a peace treaty with Israel. It was signed in 1979 and Sadat was assassinated the next year. The next was Jordan in 1994. The third was Mauritania which signed in 1999 but abrogated the treaty in 2009 to protest Israeli military attack on Gaza. The reader will note that most media reports omit to mention Mauritania and say that the U.A.E. is the third Arab state to normalize relations with Israel.
Trump has more than hinted that other Arab states might follow U.A.E.'s example. There is reason to believe that Bahrain, Oman, and Saudi Arabia might be the next ones, not necessarily in that order. If that happens, Trump's use of the word 'historic' will assume even more significance.
Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan (the son of the founder of the U.A.E.) was less effusive. Obviously for the UAE the deal marked a change of policy that needed to be defended. The Crown Prince has said the agreement would stop further Israeli annexation of Palestinian territories, for which Israel had been awaiting a green light from Washington.1 This is the main justification offered by Abu Dhabi. His tweet was a study in understatement: "The UAE and Israel also agreed to cooperation and setting a roadmap towards establishing a bilateral relationship." The impression being given is that establishment of diplomatic relations will follow the setting up of a roadmap. This impression might prove to be wrong as Trump intends to have a formal ceremony at the White House soon.
Netanyahu's Gain
In marked contrast, Netanyahu has said that the annexation plans have only been 'suspended' and are 'on the table'. He said in a TV interview, "There is no change in my plan to apply our sovereignty to Judea and Samaria [West Bank] in full co-ordination with the US. I'm committed to it. That hasn't changed. I remind you that I was the one who put the issue of sovereignty over Judea and Samaria on the table. This issue remains on the table."2
To find out what exactly Netanyahu has given as quid pro quo we need to parse the joint statement issued by Israel, U.A.E., and US. The operative sentence is, "As a result of this diplomatic breakthrough and at the request of President Trump with the support of the United Arab Emirates, Israel will suspend declaring sovereignty."3
Why did UAE do it?
Obviously, the public position taken by the UAE is different from the text of the agreement. No student of the Middle East will find it likely that just to establish diplomatic relations with an Arab state; Netanyahu will abandon his long-term plans. Therefore, the question arises: Why did the UAE do it? The answer is in many parts. First, by this deal the U.A.E has pleased Trump. Second, Abu Dhabi might gain from economic and scientific cooperation with Israel. Third, Abu Dhabi is keen to project itself as a trend - setter in the region. Fourth, Abu Dhabi is strongly allergic to Muslim Brotherhood ideology and is not particularly keen to lend all out support to the Palestinians.
Another matter to be noted is that though some media reports have characterized the deal as a surprise development, observers knew for a while that some such deal was in the making. The timeline below explains:
Israel opened a representative office to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) in Abu Dhabi, Foreign Ministry Director-General Dore Gold visited Abu Dhabi.
The U.A.E. national carrier Etihad flew into the Ben Gurion airport ostensibly carrying medical supplies for the Palestinians in the context of Covid-19.
9th June
A second flight for the same purpose
(It is noteworthy that the Palestinian Authority refused to accept the gift.)
12th June
The U.A.E. Ambassador in Washington, Al Otaiba, wrote an article in a Hebrew paper (Yediot Ahronoth) warning Israel not to go ahead with its annexation. The Ambassador refuted Netanyahu's claim that the planned annexation would not come in the way of reaching out to Arab states.4
8th July,
An Israeli state firm signed an agreement with a UAE state firm to work together in combating the Covid-19 contagion.
Netanyahu has played a clever game with weak cards. He has been moving heaven and earth to annex large parts of the West Bank as advocated in the Trump plan unveiled in January 2020, while Trump is still in office.5 Netanyahu's coalition partner Gantz, leader of the Blue and White Coalition, stood in the way. He wanted the Covid-19 crisis to be over before undertaking any annexation. Trump also had second thoughts about the wisdom of immediate annexation. Finally, Netanyahu drew blank and cleverly decided to "suspend" the annexation plans, a minor concession for which he is getting a disproportionately large reward.
Netanyahu knew that Trump is desperately looking for a foreign policy success as the electoral winds are turning hostile, mainly because of his incompetent handling of the Covid-19 pandemic.
External Reactions
The reactions have been on predictable lines. Egypt, Bahrain, and Oman have endorsed the deal. The latter two might even sign similar deals soon.
Saudi Arabia has not so far spoken out. Its taciturnity is understandable. King Abdullah came out with a peace plan in 2002 that was adopted by the Arab League. The plan provided for peace with and recognition of Israel by all Arab states provided Israel went back to its pre-1967 borders. When the Jared Kushner plan came out in January 2020, providing for Israel to annex large parts of the West Bank, Riyadh found itself on the horns of a dilemma. The Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman wanted to endorse it, but his father, King Salman, did not agree.
Saudi Arabia considers itself as the natural leader of the Arabs and might not have been too pleased to see Abu Dhabi's taking the lead in such an important matter. As against this, Bahrain would not have endorsed the deal without a green signal from Riyadh.
The Palestinians have denounced the deal. Hannan Ashrawi, a prominent leader of the PLO, refuted the UAE's claims that the deal would stop Israel's plans to annex parts of the occupied West Bank. Maybe you didn't suffer for your country being looted, you may not feel living incarcerated under the occupation, you may haven't witnessed the demolition of your home or losing a beloved one or you may have not been sold by one of your friends," she said.6
There is no call for an Arab League meeting and that shows the division in the League. Iran has denounced the deal. Turkey's President Erdogan has threatened to break off or downgrade diplomatic relations with U.A.E. Spain and France have welcomed the deal.
India's Reaction
India's reaction has been sober and balanced. The Minister of External Affairs was briefed by his UAE counterpart. The MEA spokesperson said, "India has consistently supported peace, stability and development in West Asia, which is its extended neighbourhood. In that context, we welcome the full normalization of ties between UAE and Israel. Both nations are key strategic partners of India. India continues its traditional support for the Palestinian cause. We hope to see early resumption of direct negotiations to find an acceptable two-state solution."7
Trump will have a White House ceremony soon. Perhaps he is waiting for Bahrain and Oman too.
It is unlikely that such a ceremony will significantly boost Trump's chances for re-election.
After a while, if he is still in power, Netanyahu will resume the "suspended" annexation plans. But he will not get much support from Biden if he is elected.
The prospects for an independent Palestinian state remain dim as of now.

annexation plans


CLEMSON, South Carolina — A new Clemson University soccer program geared toward student athletes with disabilities including cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injury and stroke has welcomed two U.S. Soccer Paralympic National Team players, Tyler Bennett and Drew Bremer, as its first students. Organizers hope they are the first of many players the program will attract over its first few years as it gains momentum.
The program also attracted a coordinator in Greg Baltyn, a graduate student in Clemson's parks, recreation and tourism management department. Although a veteran of the business and logistics world, Baltyn serves as a soccer referee and is currently the state youth referee administrator for SC Referees and the South Carolina Youth Soccer Association, so his passion has been with soccer and sports officiating for years.
Baltyn learned of Clemson's soccer residency program through faculty member Skye Arthur-Banning, whose previous work with Paralympians helped launch the program. Baltyn jumped at the opportunity to not only pursue a master's degree at Clemson, but also help build the residency program, which is the first of its kind in the U.S.
Seven-a-side soccer has been a part of the Paralympic Games since 1984. The sport features seven players on the field at a time rather than 11, the measurements of the playing field are smaller, there is no offside rule and throw-ins may be made with just one hand.
The Clemson program will see athletes attend class and experience regular training on site with other players throughout each semester. The program is designed to attract athletes on scholarship, those who can afford out-of-state tuition and those on GI bills who don't have to rely on tuition waivers.
Greg Baltyn is tasked with organizing the soccer program and outreach to spread the word to eligible athletes across the country.
Baltyn is casting a wide net for players because participation in the sport is a challenge for athletes. Arthur-Banning's previous research suggests cost and distance are the two biggest obstacles to continued training for athletes with disabilities. Even players who could afford to travel long distances for a one-week camp each month would be forced to spend three weeks going without quality training time at their home institutions.
Bennett is no stranger to the logistical challenges present in the sport, and he immediately saw the appeal of Clemson's program. Bennett earned his bachelor's degree in exercise science from the University of Akron, so the prospect of pursuing a master's degree in community-based sports management was attractive. Even more so was the ability to practice with other players while continuing to compete on an international level.
This all-in-one solution would have been impossible for Bennett before the Clemson program. He jumped in without hesitation; it was only after being accepted into Clemson's program and earning one of its out-of-state tuition waivers that he realized through extensive media coverage that he had become the first athlete to ever receive an academic Paralympic soccer scholarship.
Tyler Bennett (right) charges past a defender.
Bennett traveled a long, challenging road to Paralympic soccer, one that would have discouraged almost any preteen faced with a sudden, devastating medical condition. Bennett had fallen in love with soccer at the age of 4 and he took advantage of any opportunity to play. He was 12 when he had to undergo brain surgery to address a blood vessel that ruptured in his head.
That blood vessel would keep him from the soccer field for nearly two years. An initial surgery drained fluid from his brain, and the two surgeries that followed fixed the malformation and implanted a shunt that directed fluid from head to stomach, working around the blockages that remained.
These surgeries saved his life, but also caused paralysis on the left side of his body. Six months of physical therapy forced Bennett to rely on a walker, and he had to wear a brace at night to keep his foot in a flexed position. Eventually, he got back to his high school team just to practice with them. Before he could play again, he had to relearn basic movement.
Considering the extent of the paralysis and his physical therapy, Bennett truly bounced back to the sport he loved. Before he graduated from high school in 2011, he was going to camps and tournaments with the U.S. Soccer Paralympic National Team. He's now a two-time Paralympian that has participated in four world championships and he's seen interest in the sport increase steadily over the years.
Baltyn hopes to capitalize on the increased attention on Paralympic sports in general for the good of Clemson's growing program. He said there are numerous players around the country that could benefit from a program like the one at Clemson and he plans to reach out to as many of them as possible, whether they are wounded veterans, high school seniors or players who are years away from a college career.
While he works to attract attention and prospective athletes, Baltyn is also engaging university teams and club leagues to set up exhibition matches so the players can get quality practice time, and he hopes to secure field space and sponsorships that can cover some costs of travel and equipment. Baltyn said these are the necessary building blocks for a program that players with disabilities across the country can work toward.

Madeleine Parent Union Career
Biography and Analysis
Contemporary International Context
National & International Connections
Social Movements: The Labour Movement (1940s-1970s)
Activities and Philosophies
In order to further understand Madeleine Parent and her work within the Canadian labour movement, some understanding of the economic context and the state of the international post-war world is necessary. Madeleine Parent fought for workers rights in what has come to be known as the "Golden Age of Capitalism"[1]; though the power of Unions was on the rise, Cold War anti-communist suspicion was not far behind. Regardless of this, Unions quickly became an integral part of economic as well as social life for their members, with significant influence over governments, workers, and private-sector actors.
The mid-twentieth century was a time of great economic change across the globe. With international economic integration and globalization on the rise, the world was becoming smaller and nations more dependent on each other. The desolation in Europe as a result of the Second World War led to the development of the Marshall Plan and Bretton Woods System, which set the stage for long-lasting international organizations like the International Monetary Fund and World Bank. These agencies would transform European-North American economic relations, as they attempted to repair and rebuild the European nations affected by the war through American and Canadian financing of industrial development and the removal of pre-war trade barriers. While Canada and the USA both benefitted from economic boosts due to the sustained demand for raw materials and manufactured goods from Europe, this enhanced relationship between many European nations and North America was also politically motivated, as The United States was eager to prevent devastated European countries from succumbing to the lure of communism touted by the USSR (the other global powerhouse of the time).
After the turbulence of the war years, the adoption of Keynesian economic policies (increased government spending during economic slowdown in an attempt to stimulate the economy) was a significant contributor to the global economic stability and steady growth that followed. Particularly in the United States, the distribution of wealth was felt across all classes, which added to the strength of the Unions at the time, as did increasing urbanization, with people moving from rural communities into the cities to take up the plentiful manufacturing jobs. Having experienced the economic benefits of the war effort but suffering none of the destruction, both the American and Canadian economies were booming throughout and following the war. Canada, having built up its manufacturing sector during the war, transformed wartime industries into businesses dedicated to producing goods to be exported to the rebuilding nations in Europe. In the immediate post-war period Canada implemented an official policy of High Employment. The economy had been at essentially full employment during the war, as all hands were needed on deck to either fight, or help fill the demand for wartime supplies and commodities. There were fears that once the war ended an influx of returning soldiers would upset the balance, and economic depression, followed by the collapse of democracy and a turn to communism, would ensue; therefore ensuring unemployment rates stayed low was a top priority.
The years following the war also saw a significant increase in immigration to Canada, partially a result of the "tap on/tap off"[2] approach to immigration policy by the Canadian government. While the economy was booming, it reasoned, the introduction of skilled workers from abroad would help perpetuate that growth; while a reduction in new workers during an economic slowdown would help protect Canadians from excessive competition and job loss. This policy was believed to challenge the commonly held notion that immigrants were a threat to Canadians getting jobs, though due to the economic prosperity of the time public opinion wasn't particularly against an influx of immigrants.
The post-war period was a bright time for the Canadian economy, with high employment rates and high demand yielding high profits in the private sector as well as for the government. This was also a period of societal transformation, with the development of suburbs, expanding urbanization, and advancements in public utilities and social facilities changing the landscape of Canadian society. This societal shift towards more concentrated urban communities with a high proportion of industrial, blue-collar workers increased the importance of Unions in Canada. Unions represented far more than labour associations and collective bargaining organizations; for many they were the centre of social and community life. Unions frequently held events, such as parties, dances, and social evenings; they ran choirs and classes; dedicated members referred to each other as "brother" and "sister". They created through their membership a close-knit community of people with not only shared economic interests, but shared social lives, friends, and families. Madeleine Parent, as an active Union organizer, subsequently became an integral part of that social fabric. Strikes and labour movements weren't just about jobs, they were about people's way of life; the livelihoods of their community, neighbours, colleagues, and friends, as well as their own. Their intrinsic role in people's lives translated into palpable power over their members and influence at the bargaining table with governments and private-sector executives. A full-page profile of Claude Jodoin, the frontrunner in a Trades and Labour Congress leadership election in a August 1954 copy of the Montreal Star[3], demonstrates the relevance of Union business to a large proportion of the population.
The pervasive presence of Unions in civil society gave them undeniable power, but creeping Cold War anxieties made them a threat to western governments and private sector actors afraid of the leftist agendas of organized labour. There is a distinct irony to the suspicions many had that Unions were hotbeds of illicit communist activity, as Unions themselves were quick to mock the absurdity prevalent on other side of the Iron Curtain. Union journals frequently published stories sent to them by "the embassies of certain Iron Curtain countries"[4] in purported "hopeful innocence or blind stupidity"[5]; these tales revolved around fabricated stories of the success and happiness of various characters achieved through proper communist living, and were ridiculed relentlessly by the publications. That communist nations made the effort to reach out to what they perceived to by sympathetic organizations in the western world attests to the cross–national influence unity of many larger Unions. However, it makes it clear that unions (and by extension the work of Madeleine Parent and Kent Rowley), were profoundly misunderstood by both sides of the struggle in a severely polarized Cold War world. The post-war world was not the same one in which the Canadian labour movement had been operating a few years prior; globalization and the red scare put leftist organized labour into a new perspective for many. The place of Unions, and the work of Madeleine Parent, was suddenly in a more prosperous but hostile world.

Taiwan Stock Exchange has announced decision to delist shares of Green Energy Technology, a polysilicon wafer manufacturer, effective May 2, following report by the company that its assets have become negative.
At a press conference on March 20, Green Energy, a subsidiary of Tatung Co., Ltd., attributed the company's plight to its failure to cope with drastic fluctuation of the solar energy industry via transformation of operation, which, plus reduction and loss of assets, has made its net worth negative, as listed in the 2018 financial statement.
To facilitate its transformation, the company will reduce polysilicon capacities and inventories, downsize workforce, and sell idled factory buildings, to lower financial burden and improve financial structure.
The company's net worth had dropped to -NT$5.53 per share, following after-tax loss of NT$3.9 billion, or NT$8.56 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2018, according to its financial statement.

Tehran (Basirat) :World Health Organisation representatives have hailed Iran's fight against the novel coronavirus, saying the world would learn from Iran's experiences in the fight against coronavirus.
After visiting the medical centres, laboratories and getting to know the activities and capabilities of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the areas of urgent diagnosis, quarantine and rapid treatment, the WHO officials have offered their assessment of the Islamic Republic of Iran's efforts to combat and control the coronavirus in a meeting with foreign ambassadors to Tehran at the foreign ministry building.
During the meeting, Rick Brennan, Regional Emergency Director for the World Health Organization's (WHO) Eastern Mediterranean Regional Office, and his colleagues said this is a new disease and the world's knowledge is still inadequate about it.
At the beginning, Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister for International and Legal Affairs Mohsen Baharvand thanked the World Health Organization for its assistance, pointing out that the global nature of the new contagious disease makes regional and international cooperation necessary to help solve the problem. He also warned about politicising the issue and creating negative mentalities about specific countries.
Then, Rick Brennan noted that "Iran's 16-day experience in the fight against the disease indicates that the Iranian government's approach to mobilizing all government facilities under the guidance of the Health Ministry, as well as mobilising all community and civil society facilities, is a fair and rational approach."
The goal at this stage is to keep the number of infected people decreasing and to monitor the treatment process, he underlined.
Brennan further criticised countries that have imposed unprecedented restrictions on air and land travel and trade under the pretext of Corona outbreak, saying that international health regulations to which all UN member states and the World Organization have joined do not recommend such measures.
"Rather, they believe the business and the movement of people should continue while obserbing hygiene considerations, as the consequences of disruption in these matters make the fight against Corona more difficult and complex."
He urged the ambassadors to advise their governments to stop imposing unnecessary restrictions.
The head of WHO delegation said he was impressed by the knowledge and commitment of the Iranian medical staff after visiting several medical centres in Tehran. He further added that he is confident the world would learn from Iran's experiences in the fight against corona.
In the end, the ambassadors asked questions and the representatives of Iran's Health Ministry and the World Health Organization answered.
The delegation is scheduled to visit the holy city of Qom as well.

In Poland, parachuting started off in 1937 on the initiative of the Liga Obrony Powietrznej I Przeciwgazowej, the Polish air-raid defence with a membership of one and a half million people.bOn 5th September 1937 near Legionowo, parachutists jumped from a Fokker E-VIIE/3m in the presence of numerous spectators. Then the first military parachute course started.
After the military defeat in September 1939 the Polish army was reformed in France. In the same year on 13th November the Polish ministers committee established a secret organization: the 'Confederation for armed battle'. The organization's aim was: "to found centres for active national resistance, to carry out armoured operations against the occupier and to prepare a national uprising behind the enemy front at the moment the regular Polish army would reach the Polish border". Parachutists would maintain the contacts with the Polish people. Because of the capitulation of France the realization of these ambitious intentions became impossible.
After the capitulation of France the President of Poland, the Commander-in-Chief of the army and the Government fled to England in order to continue the battle alongside Great-Britain.
On 29th June 1940 General Władysław Sikorski, the Commander-in-Chief of the Polish army, established in England the 'Confederation for Armed Battle in Poland'. In a memorandum of July 1940 about the mobilization of the airforce and army in support of the revolt in Poland was pled for the establishment of training centres for liaison officers, for specialists in committing acts of sabotage and for the training of parachutists.The formation of parachutist units that could be dropped quickly into Poland was also comprehensively supported.
On 23rd August 1940 the 4th Cadre (Officers and N.C.O's) Rifle Brigade was formed in the military camp of the Canadian Officers Cadre Brigade in Eliock in Scotland. Colonel Sosabowski became the commander of this brigade. In September 1940 the training of sabotage-specialists, who would be put into action in Poland, started. The first group of officers of the 4th Cadre Rifle Brigade (BKS) did the sabotage-course in the training centre SOE in Inverlochy Castle (Scotland).
On 10th October 1940 General Sikorski handed out a routine order about the preparation of a national uprising in Poland. The order contained specific instructions for the support and protection of the paratroopers and the supply of parachutists. The first Polish parachutist training in the British training centre in Ringway near Manchester started on 28th October 1940. Here parachutists were trained for the Forces of the Interior. Subsequently, in January 1941, these parachutists attended the sabotage course in the centre of the SOE in Briggens.
On the night of 15–16 February 1941 the first airplane left England for Poland with three Polish parachutists aboard. They parachuted near Skoczow. Their assigment was to support the resistance.
On 15th March 1941, the 4th Cadre Rifle Brigade opened the centre for parachute training in Largo House (Scotland). This training centre was known as ´Małpi Gaj´, the Monkey Grove. In August, at Lundin Links in the neighbourhood of Largo House, the Poles set up a training tower from which the trainees could jump. This kind of training tower served as an example for the British parachutists training.
Twenty June 1941, General Sikorski approved of the design of the Polish parachute insigna, which had been designed by the well-known Polish graphic artist Sergeant Marian Walentynowicz. It shows a diving eagle with extended talons and on the reverse is engraved the moto "Tobie Ojczyzno" (For you, Motherland). This insigna was awarded on completion of training. A gold laurel wreath held in the talons of the diving eagle was added to the insigna for those parachutists who had actually fought in a parachutists operation.
On 23rd September 1941, for the first time a real Polish airborne landing manoevre was organized in Kincraig in Scotland. In the presence of General Sikorski the entire 4th Brigade was dropped then.
After the successful operation General Sikorski decided to change the name of the 4th Cadre Rifle Brigade into the Parachute Brigade. On this occasion the parachute badges were distributed for the very first time. The 23rd of September was established as the "Polish Parachute Brigade´s Day".
On 9th October 1941 General Sikorski confirmed by written order that the Polish Parachute Brigade was officially established.
This Brigade was to be used especially for operations in Poland. Colonel Stanisław Sosabowski was appointed as Brigade Commander.
On 8th September 1942 the Commander of the Polish Domestic Forces, the A.K., Brigadier Stefan Rowecki, signed the operation report number 154 concerning the General Uprising. In this report it was assumed that a conceivable uprising in Poland would receive support from the West and from Polish parachutists.
The brigade was officially given the name the 1st Polish Independent Parachute Brigade (1 SBS pad) on 20th October 1942. The brigade was put at the disposal of the Commander-in-Chief of the Polish armed forces.
The Polish parachute training school gradually became more experienced. She developed new instruction methods and obtained better facilities. Students of various nationalities, including even Dutch students, successfully attended the Polish parachute training centre.

Financial Crimes Investigator, Stripe
Housing Story
I moved to San Francisco… for a job, but I also came here because it is the kind of city where I could be myself, fully and without reservation as an out trans woman… I've made so many friends and watched them leave this because it costs too much, because it's impossible to figure out how to raise their family here.
Jane has been a YIMBY since 2016, when she helped found the chapter Grow the Richmond. In addition to serving on the YIMBY Action board, she serves on the boards of the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition and the SF LGBT Center. She also serves on the Citizens' General Obligation Bond Oversight Committee. Professionally, Jane is a Financial Crimes Investigator at Stripe, where she conducts anti-money laundering Investigations. Prior to that, she worked in the same capacity at Wells Fargo.
Why Housing Matters
Everyone who wants the opportunity to live someplace should have it and that means providing safe and affordable homes for everyone.
Why I Support YIMBY Action
I started showing up because the message matters, but I kept showing up because the people I get to do advocacy with every day. It's a hard challenge, trying to get our cities to build more homes, to make the process more equitable and make it take less time because that hurts everyone, especially our most vulnerable citizens, and doing that kind of advocacy has its ups and downs. It's great to have a group of folks to celebrate with, or commiserate with, depending on the day, and that's what YIMBY Action is.

First Aid is defined as the helping behaviours and the initial care provided for an acute illness or injury. First aid can be initiated by anyone in any situation.
Giuseppe Ceretti, biologist and expert in first aid, Venice contributed to the texts.
The images were created by Silvana Andreacchio, Venice and Giuseppe Ceretti. The English translation was revised by Walter Franklin Alcindor graduated with diploma in international tourism in Seychelles.
The law No. 80 of 1898, the first law for occupational safety in Italy, established the obligation to adopt a corporate first aid service for the manufacturing companies.
At first it was established that under the provision of the law the organization of a first aid service should be mandatory only for injuries in the workplaces of the construction sector and in industrial companies.
After the Second World War a new law established that a first aid service at work should be granted also in non manufacturing companies, both for injuries and malaises (Presidential Decree No. 303/1956).
Our national legislation, as well as that of the European Union, entrusts the employer with the task to provide the training of a sufficient number of lay workers (first aid attendants) in order to guarantee a proper first aid at work.
Employers also have the obligation to establish the necessary connections of the workplace with the medical emergency service 118, that is effective in Italy since 1992 (this obligation is stated by the "Testo Unico", Unique Text on health and safety, Decree n. 81/2008).
The law also establishes that when setting up the first aid service the employer must take into account "any other people present at workplace"( see "Testo Unico", article 45). In hotels and restaurants the presence of non-working people (such as customers, visitors, clients etc.) is fairly constant and consequently this aspect of the legislation is of a particular relevance.
The assistance to non-working people must be primarily an emergency service, e.g. the practice of early resuscitation in cases of cardiac arrest or some other emergency interventions waiting for the arrival of the specialized personnel of the 118.
An important aspect to be taken into consideration is that in so many years that the law for the first aid services at workplace is in force there have not been any cases of criminal or civil involvement of first aid attendants.
The prosecutors and the judges of the labour courts have apparently always kept in mind "who the first aid attendants are", i.e. ordinary workers who, due to their appointment by the employer, give their help when circumstances require it.
For first aid attendants ' tort or criminal liability for negligence, malpractice or carelessness can be assumed only in case of failure to assist or when they make interventions which they weren't trained for.
We can take as an example the tourniquets which can be used for bleeding: if the first aid assistants didn't receive a specific training to apply them, they shouldn't use them. In the framework of the training courses it is also explained that first aid attendants should never administer drugs and this rule must of course be respected.
A good physical fitness is required to perform the first aid service, because some activities, as the chest compressions or some manoeuvres to clear the airways in case of obstruction by foreign bodies can be done well only having a sound cardio-respiratory efficiency and a fit musculoskeletal system .
The first aid assistant requires above all a good psychological and emotional equilibrium, the "ability to be able to "listen" what other people are feeling, a strong willingness to help and a good emotional participation1.
The risk assessment process is an essential part of the organisation of first aid, as it is for many other aspects of prevention/protection in the workplaces.
Which are the most common injury types at our workplaces?
Which accidents occurred to workers, customers, visitors ?
Which were the more serious accidents ?
The work involves special risks, such as difficult environments (e.g. work at height) or where personal protective equipment is required (exposure to dangerous chemicals, high levels of noise etc.)?
How many people are involved in the work and what is their age distribution?
There are external people (customers, visitors ) who access the workplaces and what is their number?
There are employees whose work shifts include late evenings/nights, overtime work, temporary workers?
-There are inexperienced workers and/or employees with disabilities?
-The staff includes workers who must travel a lot, who are working in remote locations or alone?
We begin this section with a short glossary where a few good definitions are given for a better understanding.
WORK INJURY: a sudden adverse occurrence which results in an injury to a worker, a trauma, usually physical, but also psychological2, which occurs in a very short time frame.
MALAISE: sudden loss of the well-being in a time frame that isn't necessarily short. MEDICAL EMERGENCY comes about when one or more vital parameters are seriously compromised – Consciousness – Breathing – Circulation- and the casualty is in serious danger and therefore an immediate action is required.
MEDICAL URGENCY comes about when we can sense a condition of menace to life even though consciousness, breathing and heart activity are not seriously compromised (e.g. a sharp chest pain, copious bleeding, a sudden heavy headache, the outbreak of a sudden hindrance to one's movements etc.).
PERCEPTION OF DISEASE SEVERITY: it is what combines both the situations of medical emergency and those of medical urgency. We understand that we are facing dangerous situations and we must set in motion the rescue chain, that is to call the service 118.
SYMPTOM: it is what the casualty feels, e.g. health troubles, pains, etc.
SIGN: it is what we can see observing the casualty (pallor, agitation, sudden difficulties on walking etc.).
First aid is a part of the emergency plan that the companies of all sectors must keep constantly "ready to be enforced" when circumstances require it ; companies/ societies of the Horeca sector often have a specific written procedure which regulates the activities of first aid in their context; there are always some subsequent operational phases .
The French Institute INRS, Institute National de Recherche et de Sécurité, took four verbs as keywords: to protect / protect oneself, then to examine and soon after to put on the alert the medical emergency service 118 and/or to assist. We adopted the outlines of Inrs as our reference.
The first phase is protection, because if safe conditions are not in place we face serious risks. When there are big menaces to safety (e.g. fire, risk of explosions, electrical hazards, risks of collapse of buildings, dangerous atmospheres ) first aid attendants must refrain from intervening; they have just to put on the alert the services in charge of civil defense through the company managers ( the employer or her/his delegates). In exceptional cases we must take away one or more casualties from the place where they are: this is something we do only to rescue people from a life threatening situation which isn't possible to control.
Before moving a person from a hazardous area, it is necessary to consider both the path you must follow to reach a safe area and the casualty's physical conditions (e.g. if he can walk or not), taking into consideration the possible need to be helped.
The displacement is done by keeping the person in the supine position, ideally placing the person on a coat or a rug, etc., that will be dragged to the safe zone.
If we don't have the useful tools, the casualty must be moved by dragging her feet or if there are injuries to limbs by pulling her shoulders.
Whatever is the displacement method, the grip height must be always just a few centimeters from the ground. It is important to take into consideration the person's weight and the way, considering the need to ask for help.
casualty's malaise/injury, to be able to take the most appropriate measures, to feed the operators of 118 with proper information so that they can well organize their interventions.
A key aspect of a proper first aid service in workplaces is to ensure the timeliness and appropriateness of specialized interventions. When the first aid attendants are aware of the seriousness of the situation they are facing, the first thing of which to make use is the telephone. The wide availability of mobile phones makes it quite easy today to be connected with the 118 , whose service is 24/7 on the whole Country.
To tell the name and surname of the person who is calling and the address of the place where he is calling from (worksite, house address, street). If there are different ways to go in (as it is in large worksites), it must be explained which is the nearest point to get in.
It must be given a clear description of what happened: the number of people involved and their health conditions (with particular reference to the consciousness, the presence of autonomous breathing and any other relevant symptom or sign).
We have also to tell if there is any special condition that may require the assistance of other Relief Agencies (fire, acts of violence etc.) and to describe the measures taken by the first aid Attendant(s).
The phone number from which we are calling (we mustn't make any other calls with this telephone until the arrival of the rescue professional operators!).
-the Heimlich manoeuvre when foreign bodies completely close the airways -tight compression on heavily bleeding injuries.

In November 2002, the Master Plan Review Committee (MPRC) held a kick-off meeting, inaugurating a fairly new outreach process that would provide the widest possible level of community participation in the Damascus Master Plan. This new method combines topic oriented "Task Forces" with an overall MPRC comprised of all Task Force members. With more than 200 members on our distribution lists, and over half of those assigned to at least one Task Force, the residents of Damascus have clearly shown their commitment to their community and its future. The M-NCPPC staff has appreciated working with such engaged and civically active residents.
Since April of 2003, the M-NCPPC staff has facilitated these Task Force meetings and listened to the community's input on the issues that are most important in planning for the future of Damascus. This phase of the Master Plan process is now winding down, and only two Task Forces are still holding meetings to complete their evaluations. The staff met internally during August to begin the process of synthesizing the information received during the Task Force process. The Land Use and Transportation Task Forces plan to conclude their meetings in late October or early November allowing the staff to complete the process of merging the evaluations of the Task Forces to present to the full Master Plan Review Committee at a series of meetings in November and early December.
During that process, the MPRC will review and provide comments on the final reports of each Task Force. With that input from the community, the staff has prepared the Staff Draft of the Master Plan. The major elements and recommendations of that document have been presented to the MPRC for review before it was presented to the Planning Board on Thursday, September 30, 2004.

Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony review (PS4)
I have to admit, I started Danganronpa V3 with low expectations. I'm not a huge anime fan and hadn't played either of the two previous episodes, so I had my reservations. However, despite my initial reaction to the game I feel myself being pulled back in to play more… Now my only concern is how to lure my fiancé off the PS4 so I can get back on!
You start by witnessing someone's kidnap (by naked kidnappers too I'll add!) before witnessing the kidnapped character break out of a school locker into a class room. Equally as confused as the character, you meet a second student who's also been abducted and trapped. It transpires that 16 characters have been taken and imprisoned in the school, but why?
The game stays true to its anime style as I felt like I was playing through a graphic novel rather than your typical PS4 game. Still illustrations of each character slide on and off the screen (depending on whose speaking) rather than animated 3D models moving about it their environment. The aesthetics of the game include bright colours, in places to the point of almost being obnoxious. As I was playing I did find some of these objects distracted me from the other things that were happening on the screen and reading the story.
As we've come onto discussing the story I'll emphasise how much of a crucial part of the game reading is. My goodness, this game has a lot of reading. There are some parts of the story text which have been given a character voice over, but not all of them. I still had to read each section anyway or I'd lose my place in the text. Reading a lot of text didn't particularly bother me, but I would have preferred all characters had been given a voiceover. Maybe I've just become lazy and expect my story plopped in front of me on a plate. However, if you removed the reading and couple that with the small amount of interaction and movement built into the game, you'd end up just watching and doing very little. Reading the story keeps you more immersed focused on the game.
Something I wasn't prepared for was the swearing and some of the comments that came out of characters' mouths! Danganronpa V3 does have a mature 17+ rating, but I spent a good chunk of the beginning part of the game under the impression this was aimed at a younger teen audience…It's not. I actually thought some of the rude comments were hilarious! My sense of humour is dark so that may not be the intention, but I still had a good ol' chuckle.
I wondered if the game would frequently reference storylines from the other series and if I'd be left confused because of this. If it did this it wasn't obvious and I wasn't left feeling I needed to play the first two episodes to enjoy this game.
The only part I wasn't keen on was the Monokuma Units, they annoyed me. The initial introduction of them is pretty cheesey and a bit lame. And, because there were six of them it also meant that every time one spoke the screen paned over to them…even the one that didn't speak!
Danganronpa V3 may not be everyone's cup of tea but it does have a certain charm and quirkeyness about it which makes it entertaining. It also had an uphill struggle as I mentioned, I'm not a massive fan of graphic novels. However it won me over and drew me into the story.

Wealth Advisor, Nancy Coumou, CFP® tells how to freeze your credit report and why you should do it, now.
'Equifax will now let you place or lift a credit freeze for free until January 31, 2018.
On September 7 we learned that the personal financial data of 143 million American consumers was exposed to a data breach at Equifax.
Equifax, one of the three major U.S. credit reporting agencies, soaks up personal financial info about consumers as reported to them by banks, lenders, credit card companies, etc. They assimilate this data and produce credit ratings that rank consumers' creditworthiness.
While it's essential to have a system for capturing and reporting on credit history, it's equally vital that this system be secure. So, before providing actionable steps to safeguard your identity, let's first indulge in a little outrage over how it is that millions of us are in this boat. Equifax not only lacked adequate web security to thwart the hack, which occurred between mid-May and July, but also failed to alert us to it on July 29, when the data breach was discovered. And, until bowing to consumer pressure to do so, Equifax hadn't been waiving its $10 fee to place a credit freeze – the gall! So far, about 30 lawsuits have been filed against Equifax: good!
Freeze your credit - Assume your data has been compromised (or that it will be some day) and freeze your credit report. A credit freeze is the very best way to ensure that no new accounts will be established using your identity. Visit this FAQs page from the Federal Trade Commission for excellent info about credit freezes.
Here is contact info for each credit rating agency, as well as a few notes about my experience using their automated telephone services to place a credit freeze.
o Equifax — 1-800-349-9960 – Equifax's phone process is straightforward and easy to use. They will snail-mail a confirmation letter containing an 'unlock' PIN. Bowing to consumer pressure, Equifax is now waiving its $10 fee until November 21 and will refund the fees of those who have placed a freeze since September 7.
o Experian — 1 888 397 3742 – $10 - This phone experience was the worst. Experian's system was bizarre and almost comically slow at processing inputs, but the freeze was successfully placed (after a 7-minute call). As with the others, Experian will snail-mail a confirmation letter and 'unlock' PIN.
o TransUnion — 1-888-909-8872 - $10 – No complaints here; TransUnion has an easy-to-use phone system. As with the others, TransUnion will snail-mail a confirmation letter and 'unlock' PIN.
o Innovis — 1-800-540-2505 Even though Innovis is not one of the three major reporting agencies, we still recommend you place a credit freeze here. Happily, Innovis does not charge for a credit freeze and their telephone system is a breeze to navigate. They too will send confirmation and an 'unlock' PIN by mail.
Monitor your credit report - To obtain a free annual credit report from Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion, go here www.annualcreditreport.com or call 1-877-322-8228. After you've done this, set a calendar reminder to reorder the report next year.
For the best chance of spotting fraudulent activity, the highly diligent among us will order just one report at a time as to not exhaust the 'one free report per year' limit on all three reporting agencies at once. You could, for instance, order the TransUnion report each January, order the Experian report each May, and order the Equifax report each September.
Pay attention to your accounts - A credit freeze will not protect accounts that are already open from being fraudulently used. Monitor account activity and take advantage of activity alerts that your bank and credit card companies offer.
Remain diligent and form good 'identity protection' habits - Now that the Equifax data breach has revealed umpteen millions of Social Security numbers, DOBs, and addresses to hackers, we should anticipate fallout for years to come. As such, the items listed above should become habits, like locking the front door when leaving the house.

Chances of supporting net zero are net zero: Barnaby Joyce
Phillip CooreyPolitical editor
Jul 16, 2021 – 8.00pm
Barnaby Joyce said he would lose his leadership if he supported Scott Morrison in adopting net zero emissions by 2050, in a statement that all but puts paid to the Prime Minister being able to make the commitment before the next election.
In an interview with AFR Weekend, Mr Joyce, who seized back the leadership of his party in June, said his resurrection would be short-lived if he backed net zero.
"The likelihood of Joyce getting endorsement from his party room to agree to net zero is zero. That's where the net zero lies," he said.
"And if Joyce was to come back to the party room and said 'I had a really interesting conversation, I've just agreed to net zero', then his prospects of getting out of that room as a leader would be zero."
He also dismissed a push this week by the European Union to penalise imports from countries without strong carbon abatement policies, saying it was nothing but a tariff motivated by protectionism.
"I'm not saying it wouldn't," he said, when asked whether Australian exports to Europe could be affected if the government does not adopt a net zero emissions policy.
"Europe is an important market but not our major market.
"Our major markets, of course are Asia, Middle East, Indonesia, you know, and I'm not dismissing it as a market, but if these things can get a life of their own, you get yourself on the sticky paper you don't know where you're, you end up."
In the United States, Democrats have also proposed similar carbon tariffs.
Under growing international and domestic pressure to fall into line with like-minded nations such as the US and the United Kingdom, Mr Morrison has been inching the Coalition towards a formal adoption of net zero, possibly before the global climate summit in Glasgow in November.
He has thus far indicated a strong preference to reach net zero by or before 2050 but will not make the final commitment unless he can demonstrate the technology framework to get there. This is designed to stop the Coalition fracturing.
Mr Joyce was unswayed by assurances farmers would be exempt from making sacrifices and could benefit though initiatives such as carbon sequestration. He said that was still largely a concept.
Moreover, the Nationals' broader constituency extended beyond farmers to blue collar and heavy industry workers and he would not accept a "simplistic" commitment to net zero because there would be real consequences for them.
"We have to report back to a workforce that's different than the city. The city has to report back to predominantly a white collar behind the keyboard workforce," he said.
"Follow them into work and see how many of them caught that lift and how many of them walked up the stairs to save energy I think you'll find that virtually everyone will jump in the lift.
"What that says is, once you start putting a cost to these things, people's attitude changes."
Mr Joyce said he would have a business-like relationship with Mr Morrison and was cognisant of the difficulties the Coalition faces in trying to win the next election.
"I think it's going to be a very tough fight," he said.
"The last thing we're going to do is sink the government."
Mr Joyce was confident the government would recover from the botched vaccine rollout.
"If the goal was just to get vaccinated, then that's a pretty odd goal. The goal is actually that people don't die," he said.
"The ultimate mark ... is, first and foremost, that I don't die and, secondly, that I don't get very very sick.
"And on both those counts. Australia has done remarkably better than any other major country in the world. I don't know whether that helps us but it won't hurt us.
"And when an election comes, we'll be vastly further down the track than where we are now."
Mr Joyce said Labor under Anthony Albanese would struggle to bridge the divide between his party's competing constituencies.
"I think he has a real problem in trying to balance both the seats he needs to win in blue collar areas and the realities of a changing constituency the Labor Party represents in inner suburban areas, of which one is his,″ he said.
