Hi everyone, I'm George Cal and I'm here today with one of my clients and the members of my Master Heart group coaching program Her name is Maxine Shapiro and she's gonna be sharing with you some of the lessons She's learned as she's built up her coaching business and I'm excited to share her wisdom with you. I'm Maxine Hi George, how are you today? Great. Thanks for being here. Thanks for doing this. So let me first read your bio So that the audience can have some sense of what you do and then we'll go into some of the lessons You've learned as you've grown your business and You know what you can share with us about improvisation. So Let me the bio here it is. I'm just gonna read it for folks here Mixing laughter with learning and using one of the most exhilarating forces in business today improvisation Maxine transforms any meeting or conference Workshop or or workshop into a playground of quick productive and fun collaborations Through generous respectful communication while being while creating big bold solutions with enthusiasm For implementation and translates it into any industry now that definitely reads better in writing But but no this I think I think folks get an idea So let me finish up here as a coach Maxine takes the same passion Wisdom and wit to help transform individuals to be the best self to dream bigger and bolder with results far beyond the client's Imagination so that scene both the super facilitator as well as a coach works with organizations events as well as one-to-one with individuals so Welcome Maxine good to have you here Thank you George now one of the things that We were talking about before before we started recording is one of the lessons is how you know in business usually people are Fixated on a prize keep their eyes on the prize, you know if I when I do this I'll then be able to have this and that's what I'm really after You know when I then I'll feel six then I'll be successful and I'll feel successful But but you have a different take on that I mean and maybe you've experienced some of that yourself and maybe it hasn't worked as well I don't know. Maybe you can share share your your thoughts on this this particular idea. Yeah. Thank you George I'd love to because that was you know what when I Wanted to help it. You know you had me ponder some things and and one of them What what were the lessons that I've learned in in business and it's It's a challenge to not Make it about and I'm just gonna say the money. Yeah You know, I'm just gonna say that, you know, we one of the lessons was is that you know It's usually you know when I earn this then I can feel successful. So You know, well, how are you doing in your business? You know, why don't you ask me? Who did I help today? You know? You know, we live in In a wonderfully Capitalistic society and I love it. I love it. I wouldn't be here and I wouldn't love to be able and to have that opportunity of prosperity and abundance and Sometimes I've had to redefine Prosperity and abundance, you know, I'd like to say that man 12 years ago when I started this It was uphill just like that, you know, it wasn't and yet I can't and this is what I very important I work with my clients that you know, if I am going if my mood or my trust in my Abilities and my confidence and in my talents and skills are based on What's in my bank? You know, you're just gonna have to wait to see that, you know, it was what I could have said many times so I had to learn and To just not make it about, you know, the when I get this I will do that so that how keep your eye on the prize and So it was fun looking back and What I have learned, it's really about the present and I have a reminder on my phone Who can I serve powerfully today? Who is right in front of me?  It may be The you know, I LA now has a has a rapid transit, you know, I'm from Chicago originally And maybe the person sitting next to me, you know, can I smile instead of just sit down and put this wall? I'm not saying well, tell me how was your day today? Yesterday I say next to somebody who had a dog. Anyway, it's And I know this is a lot of next thing where it's like going with this But who's in front of me, you know, and and that has helped my business So much because I cannot tell you how many people I Was surprised at how I went may I coach you around that? Oh, yeah, you know, I asked for permission first or you know, and and something happens So it is about staying present, you know, we heard a lot and yet no no no But for this case, I really got to keep my eye on the goal, you know for me My goal has been you know like this So that's that's very helpful. Thank you. Thank you. It's absolutely. I don't think we can hear that encouragement enough to stay present because everything around us is Asking us to focus on goals and and results and everything and and yes, and I found for myself when I am able to bring my values and Practice virtue in the process of whatever I'm doing the results tend to take care of themselves Yes, I'll take care of me anyway. Yeah. Yeah Yes, go ahead. No, I you know It's it's at the end of the day, you know, I asked myself You know, did you do did you serve somebody powerfully? where could you have done better and You know, sometimes it's like I didn't do anything And and I have to let myself off the hook, you know, we get so hard on ourselves as business owners because it's our business and You know the same thing that we left big business for if I may say, you know So there wasn't somebody going did you get that done and told the bar or looked at you know We do it to ourselves And I do Sometimes and I've come such a long way and that's why I love working with people You know be it an executive or business owner around that issue and how we get to lighten up on ourselves absolutely one of the other lessons you've learned is Continuing to return to the value that you provide for people for clients or people Mm-hmm. Tell us how you do that. Mm-hmm Well, there's a couple different ways I do it one I Make sure let's say there's a bit of oh I can't call that, you know, there may be a company or a person and I will tell you that I've been writing letters to people that I want to coach. I'm talking people you know and And I go, who do you think you are wanting to coach so-and-so? and So I I have to keep a list of Things handy for me. So as soon as that doubt comes in which is fear and fear we know you know, it's fight or flight and and so I I actually have a demo video and You know, I'll just put that on and go. Oh, that's right. I do do that. Well, don't I? People liked when I did that, you know, I look at some few testimonials, you know, and then I go, yeah Yeah, and then I I also know the value I bring Well, how can I say this? But by writing it down sometimes and this is not an ego. It's different than Let me tell you how great I am. It's what everyone has value everybody and and value far far beyond you even thought you had and You know, sometimes when things come easy when I'm working with clients the one-on-one, you know They and I do this with organizations as well when they it comes too easy to them They don't see it as a value that they're bringing, you know And and it's like just because it came easy to you look at how people are reacting to that to that skill to that talent To that wisdom that you just go.  I stink.  I want to see you win You know, there's that balance and we're never in balance But balances is really important. So I'm saying this, you know what I'm we're talking about When we do that that self-reflection of what our value is and the benefit that we bring to to anybody that's in front of us and It is so important and what I've I've I teach my clients a lot is Know it and trust that it's in your back pocket.   Passionately curious. I just I love my curiosity. I love that. I just you know, I just That's it and watch what happens. That's all Beautiful. Thank you. I absolutely agree. So We just have in a couple minutes. I want to wrap this up with oh my gosh, you share a little bit about the framework You created it's called collaborate and you could tell us what that means Sure, maybe give us one tip from it. Maybe there's one one insight from that. Oh Love to a lot of what I've been saying has been there And it's like it sure doesn't sound like it, but that's it. It's messy, you know We'd not just want to create messy, but it's wonderful when it happens. Um, if OER is curious So collaborate collaborate communicate create big bold solutions and You know bold is defined too differently. It could just be you know one one step above and that's bold for a lot of people So what is it that that I do? Again, as you said in my bio, I I use the application of improvisation and What does that mean? It means that that I'm going to put you through an exercise where you're going to get to experience your own agility and What we create, you know, it's like going to a gym and and George I can see by your physique You you probably work out, you know, we're very mindful when we work out We lift things that are are heavier that we normally would so that when we're out in the world, you know And something's about to fall. We've got the strength to pick it up or hold it or whatever it is and And same with these workshops on the whole form of collaborate is I exaggerate things so that we can We can really go out there now and be agile really trust That creativity that that that we have but that we're so scared to say out loud So what I do a my stopwatch is the most important thing in my workshops and I'm learning in my life So that I don't edit my ideas I believe that what's most important is that we put all our ideas out on the table And this could be our wisdom or what we want to do for the day, you know, a project And and we don't edit it. It's pen to paper.  Just get it out there So it's about separating the idea process from the evaluation process So in improv one of the most important phrases that that most people know now and I'm just thrilled to see How it's taken off is yes and you know by you stating This one idea that you have You're allowing me To yes and it so it may not be your idea that gets implemented but will what will happen is Somebody else will be triggered with that So I'm saying that by you holding back your ideas.  You're not getting another idea. Yeah, so it's really and then we do this with ourselves, too so that's a thing a lot of those who are watching this are trying to create their own business and create content and Oftentimes shutting themselves down to say well, that's not that great of a video. That's not that great of an idea for blog post and Yes, and It's it's let it out let it out there because you don't know whom it's gonna touch Who's gonna inspire and how it's gonna inspire you for the next idea as well So Maxine, thank you for being here and I just said one thing. Yes. Yes, George It's about working with you and you've you've enhanced that part of me because I came in not knowing anything about Facebook ads and live and now I'm doing a live once a week and and you so encourage that lightness And I applaud you for that. It's been a you've been very special and that part of my life Thank you. I so I'm so glad. So glad. Thank you for saying that Yeah, so I will make sure to put your website and your information in the notes of the video I hope those who are watching this have been inspired uplifted by Maxine's presence and wisdom so reach out to her if you'd like to Possibly hire her as a coach. I think she's fantastic So yeah reach out to her and what information will be there in the notes of the video So Maxine, thank you. Thank you again, and I wish you continued joy and Creativity in your process So Thank you for the opportunity to share. I really appreciate it


Welcome to All Hands Update. Here's what's happening around your Navy. Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus named two guided missile destroyers for Medal of Honor recipients. DDG-125 will be named after Jack H. Lucas, the youngest Marine and Service member in World War II to receive the Medal of Honor. DDG-126 will be named Lewis H. Wilson, who received the Medal of Honor for his actions during the Battle of Guam and went on to become the Commandant of the Marine Corps in 1975. The Navy announced a Sailor Assistance and Intercept for Life program, providing continual support after suicide-related behavior. Suicide prevention is a cooperative effort that takes leadership engagement and awareness at all commands and ranks. The EA-18G Green Growler completed a testing of 100% advanced biofuel at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Maryland. The Navy is a leader in incorporating alternative fuel into operational supplies in order to increase mission capability and flexibility.

Hey, welcome back guys. John Hammond here looking at Pico CTF 2017. We just finished up the web exploitation category because there was only one simple challenge in there. So let's move into the reverse engineering ones because there are, again, low-hanging fruit 20-point challenges. Let's see what we've got. Hex to raw. This program requires some unprincipled characters as input. But how do you print unprincipled characters? See, allow yourself to blah, blah, blah, and turn that hex to raw. Alright, so let's copy that location. Let's get our shell going. But before we do that, let's create a hex to raw directory. And then let's connect to with our shell. Cool. CD into this directory here. We can just paste it in and ls to check out the files. So we have a flag there. We could just cat out, but it says permission denied. That's because we don't have permission to read it. Okay. The hex sports and hex to raw 2 version has it. But we're not supposedly a member of that group. So we have to take advantage of using this program, hex to raw. It looks like you can do it. What is input? Can we check that out? No, we can't see that either. Okay, so we can check out hex to raw, but it's a binary program. So it looks like it has strings in there to determine what the flag, or things that it will output on the screen, but no real flag. So we have to figure out what we can do here. What did the hints say? Google for easy techniques of getting raw output to the command line. In this case, you should be looking for an easy solution. Hmm. Well, let's see what the hex to raw program does to begin with. It says, give me this in raw form. Okay, such that hex 0x41 is A. Okay, so this must be hex, right? We've seen hex before 0 through 9A through F. So we have this string that we supposedly need into the raw form. Okay, we can Google that like hex to raw, right? Hecto decimal to string online, paste that in. Oh, but it is disgusting. So, can we echo that? Can we? Oh, no, I can't. Nope, it looks like it just moved it back. Okay. So we can't just like copy that and put that back in our shell. So how do we get it inside of our shell to begin with? How about Linux hex to raw? Google that. Hecto string to bytes. Hmm, a lot of Perl stuff. That's not particularly very, that's a lot of like regex and stuff that we don't need to get into just yet. But how about this guy's solution? I used to do this with xxd, xxd-tac-r-tac-p. Looks like you can just pass in some characters to it. Like 5A, that's a hex byte. So xxd-tac-r-tac-p. So checking out the man page for xxd, xxd will make a hex dump or do the reverse. So you can take a binary and just or any file you want and convert it to that hexo decimal form or, you know, dump back into its binary form, the raw form. So if you wanted to use those arguments like tac-r to reverse it or something, tac-p, what's that other argument? We can check the page here. Tac-p text plain, also known as plain hex dump style, which will give it to you that raw original character that you're looking at for real. If we have that string in standard output, let's echo that string of hex, pipe that to xxd-tac-r-tac-p, so it gets it as input. Okay, we've got that raw rendition of it. So we could have that and pipe that into the hex to raw program, so it takes it as input. And awesome, okay, looks like it gets it. That's what I wanted. Here's the flag. So now that we have the flag, let's copy and paste that into a flag.txt file, document it. I'm not going to go into the effort of trying to create a get flag script for this one because it requires all that piping that we did, and I think SSH will have a little bit of a hard time with that, especially with the echo going through, because echo would look like it was interpreting a lot of the pipes. So we'll ignore that and just keep that as the flag, but we will go ahead and paste that now, submit it, and get up 20 points on the scoreboard. So awesome. Thank you guys for watching.

I think the word privilege has that has a really negative connotation in today's world society. Yes, it's true It's also cool to witness the fact that your generation is growing up with privilege and like what that's gonna do for them I didn't grow up with privilege. Yes, and my kids are yeah And like that's amazing for them to have the power of culture the power of all that and the power of privilege Because there's a lot of power that comes to privilege that people really under estimate But you're privileged and it's like we'll normalize Latino being privileged like right. Why is that bad? Right like why is it bad that my kids are growing up in privilege? Why?


Today's topic is investment property. Investment property, basically, we have already discussed property, plant and equipment, but today is specifically out of all other properties, the investment property we are going to discuss. Now, the learning outcome, students will be able to understand what is meant by the term investment property as per IES 40. Able to calculate the value of investment property and learn how to incorporate the impact of change in investment property and present it in the financial statement. Now, the objective and scope to prescribe the accounting treatment and disclosure for investment property. The scope includes property held for capital appreciation or to earn rental. It's very clear that you are holding this property, you are buying this property or keeping this property for the purpose of appreciation in value or for rental. Not for use in business. Initial cost recognition, all expenditure made to acquire and plus any directly attributable cost and ready for use are considered part of the property cost. In fact, this definition is the same as per previously we discussed it in property, plant and equipment because whatever we spend to bring an asset for its intended use that is part of the cost of the assets. The purchase price, transfer fee, legal fee, cost incurred to bring the land and its intended use such as guard, grading, filling, draining, cleaning, creating assumptions of any. Now, all these costs are added to the cost of the property. But the other thing is assuming assumption of any lien and mortgage. Do you remember some properties are mortgage, so we should keep in mind that when we are buying such a property, so we are also taking responsibility of that properties liability if there is any. Now, any salvage receipts on cleaning deducted from the cost of property. So if you are cleaning or other putting that property in proper order and you are getting some out of it, whatever scrap you are getting out of it that will be deducted. Do not capitalize any operating laws make marketing expenses and abnormal ways. It's very clear that these three things should not be added to the cost of property. Now, first of all, what is investment property? An investment property is property land and building or part of building or both and it can be just land or it can be building or it can be building and land together. Held by the owner or lessy under finance lease to earn rentals, purposes to earn rental or for capital appreciation or both. You know when you buy a property, there are two motifs either you had to go to in the living that one or put up your office in it or you can give it on rental purpose or you can hold it for appreciation. Appreciation means with time the value of property increases. So that is another motive to hold that property. Rather than clearly use in the production supply of goods and services or for administrative purpose. So you are not buying it for the purpose of using it for goods and services or maybe for administrative purpose. So absolutely you are buying this property for appreciation in value or for rental. Second sale in ordinary course of business. Now you are buying an assets and let's say your job is to build houses and then sell it. So in that case that is not investment property because that is inventory like in PPP we have discussed it. Owners occupied property is a property held by the owner or by the lessy under finance lease for use in production of goods and services or for administrative purposes. So they have discussed that if it is owner owned property that is not investment property property held under operating lease is discussed in the IFR 60. Now the land that is owned by an entity for capital appreciation which may be sold at any time in future. And the land that has no current purpose are both considered to be investment property. For example you acquire a property but currently you don't have any intention what to do about it. It is still an investment property you might sell it later on. If an entity supplements its income by buying and selling property and regularly sell parts of the housing inventory it is treated as stock held for sale will be classified as inventory. So if your business is holding properties, number of plots and you keep selling those plots and buying those plots that is not investment property. That is you are doing that business of property in that case it is treated under PPP IS-2 inventory. The part of property held to provide housing to low income employees at below market rental will not be treated as investment property. Again you know in industry basically we have colonies and we provide housing facilities to the employees and you don't even charge rental which is very nominal. So that also not be treated as investment property. The properties held to provide housing services rather than rental. So that is not investment property. So clearly investment property is one which is hold by the business for appreciation in its value or for giving its own rental. We got even some time simple plot and then we give it for parking purposes. So that is investment property. You don't have any use in your mind what are we going to do about it. But if you just let it for parking lot so it is an investment property. So basically first thing is that you must understand what is the investment property. Thank you very much.

Thanks for checking out this unboxing video. What do I like Japanese snacks? And when do I like them? Basically whenever I can get them. And usually what I can get them is when I get my Snaku box and this is the unboxing for my March Snaku box. They always look the same. Do I need to show them to you anymore like that? Because they always look the same. But what doesn't look the same are these little teaser cards that tell you what's in there. That's pretty. It looks a little Eiffel Tower-y when you just take a quick look at it. So I'll show you this up front if you want to pause on it and see ahead of time, ahead of me tasting what's gonna be in there. Sorry, I have a ring light above this so I have to kind of maneuver around it. But this is focused on Tokyo and exploring Tokyo. So we'll talk about the Tokyo related snacks as we get to them. Yeah, get that stuff out of here. This is what it's looking like in there. Looks like some goodies. I did look ahead at what the little spoiler thing had on there. And gotta be honest, this looks like it could be one of the best that we've ever had if it goes the way I think it could. So let's fingers crossed on that one. Not like I've, you know, had any bad ones ever. Oh my gosh. Oh man, I only have one of these. It looks like there might be a good amount of senpai. So I'm gonna start with it. This giant senpai that looks like a cookie, basically. This is from the popular snacks portion.  They're just calling it a sesame senpai. That's gigantic. And for that reason, there's only one of them in the box. Usually you get like two of everything with this larger box because there is the tasting size box. But Yeah, this makes me sad knowing there's only one of these because A, I love senpai and B, I love sesame. So, oh my gosh. Oh, just smells like soy sauce and sesame. Yeah, it smells very good. Look at how like crispy that looks. Mmm. It's a lot harder than I thought it was gonna be to bite through. It's very crunchy as you can hear, I'm sure. Mmm, okay. You get that nice kind of sweet kind of umami taste from the outside that has the soy sauce to it. Yeah, it's good. And then once you get inside, you get that typical senpai rice cracker flavor and then the black sesame seeds are coming through in the flavor. But the black sesame seeds, I'm not tasting them as much as I would assume I would. It's interesting. I'm not the most like graceful eater. So I apologize. I like to just jump in pretty much. Although I will say it's weird doing this like watching myself eat basically on the camera. There are probably a lot of people would hate that. I don't like it, but I get through it, you know. Okay, so that's a good way to start. That's good. I love senpai. I haven't met that many senpais I don't like, so awesome. What is this? Oh, I don't know about these though. We'll see. This is also from the popular snack side. This is a yakitomanakashi. Yakitomanakashi, that's what I'm gonna say. Baked mini rice puffs topped with buttered corn flavor. You know, I'm not the biggest corn fan, so like having a buttered corn thing could go wrong for me. We'll see.  God, that's exactly what it smells like. But these things look nicely browned and a little puffy. Do you like canned corn? Because if you do, that's what this tastes like. Also, puffed rice. Okay. It ends up having a little bit of a flavor that's kind of sweet. It's almost a little cookie-like in the way it tastes because it's a little sweet. It's not very, like it has a consistency of cracker and it has a little bit of that flavor initially. But then it's a little sweet, so it's almost lightly cookie-like, like a wafer. It's not bad. You just need to like canned corn as a flavor. I'm not huge on it, so yeah, you know. Okay, let's go for something better. What do we got here? This thing looks interesting. Oh, okay. I'm very interested in this one. This one looks crazy on here. It's a Tokyo Tamago. For over 15 years, Ginza Tamaya has been making traditional Japanese snacks with a modern twist. This cute egg-shaped snack has four layers. The white chocolate outside covers the dual layer sponge cake, which is then filled with mildly sweet black sesame paste. Nice. This is our most popular snack, which tends to sell out often. Click quick. Luckily, we were able to get our hands on some to bring you. Awesome. See, and that's the thing I love about snacky. Like they try hard to get things that are kind of exclusive-ish. Like I remember last year when they did their February one and they were able to get really typically hard to get this one hard to get snack that sells out super fast, but they worked specifically with the people who make it to secure enough for them. And it was like a brownie made with actual like strawberries and it was amazing. Okay, so this thing looks nutty. This thing looks crazy. I don't know how this is going to be. Like literally it looks like this like white chocolate egg. Trying to get the glare off of it. Yeah, it's I mean, wait a minute. This is weird because it smells a bit like white chocolate, but then it also smells slightly peanut buttery, which is weird. I don't know if that's the sesame doing something like the mix of the cake and the sesame. I don't know. Here we go. Oh, okay. So on here, the paste in the middle looks more of like a jelly. That's not the way it is. It is more of like a dried paste in actuality. It's a little bit spongy.  So you get the flavor of like the sweet white chocolate on the outside. You get a little bit of the cake that's giving it a slight vanilla. And then you have that nice black bean paste that's not overstated. And that's one of the great things. Like think about like really roasted dark black sesame. That's kind of what it tastes like, but lightly flavored. And then it gives it a slight earthiness. It's good. I dig that. It's kind of a weird item. It looks weird when you describe it. It sounds weird, but it tastes pretty good. I dig it. So that was our first featured snack that I enjoyed. Okay, next, this is from the popular snacks portion. Yaki Akage Shoyu. Traditional baked rice senpai topped with aged soy sauce made by the famous Komenosato store in rural Tochi. I mean, it's senpai. Most likely I'm going to enjoy it because I haven't met that much senpai, just like as I said before. Yeah, it looks like senpai. It almost looks like, if you see it from far enough away, it almost looks like katsu, you know, like that fried like panko fried meat.   Yeah, it smells like senpai. Real nice tangy soy sauce flavor on the outside. Super, super crunchy on the inside because it's kind of thin on the puff rice flavor. That's very typical.  I like a no-frills senpai, so there's no problem with that for me. All right. Whoo, moving on. Yeah, let's go. I don't know what this is. Are there numerous ones these? Okay, I'm gonna go with this one because I saw it and grabbed it. This is, okay, this is from the featured snacks as well. Well, that last one was popular.  They do a lot of milk chocolate in Japan or at least in this box.  Oh, it popped open. Well, there you see it. They like these, these, they almost look like triskets on the outside. Oh, I smell the white chocolate, but yeah, it does smell very milky, like it said in the description. It's a very dairy type smell. It smells good. It's very buttery too. Yeah, that's good. It's got like some granulated sugar on the top too. So it's sweet, but it's not crazy sweet. Definitely tastes buttery. Definitely tastes that white chocolate. Yeah, it's nice. It's rich. It's flavorful, low vanilla hint in there as well. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yep. I like it. That one's tasty. Um, that's my favorite thing thus far in the box. That's good. Mm. And for people who haven't watched a lot of these that I do, the snack unboxing, it bears reiterating, sweet things in Japan are not nearly as sweet as the same sweet things in the United States. United States goes crazy with putting sugar in Japan. They're very reserved with their sugar portioning. So you can have a snack that is sweet, but it's not sickly sweet. And I feel like in the United States it's just like more sugar, more sugar, more sugar. So I love the sweet snacks from Japan because it's where I want sweet snacks to be. So, all right. There's something, there's something in particular in here that I want to save to the end. Well, other than, okay. There's something I want to save to the end because it seems interesting. Could be not good. I don't know. So this must be the, what is this one? I'm going to have to open it first, I think. I think it's the Northern Egg Sable. Yes, it is. This is. Actually, I'm going to try and get the one that's least broken. That's not happening. They're both really broken. This is the Northern Egg Sable. This is from the popular snacks. Slightly sweetened butter cookie made with organic eggs and fresh turned butter from Northern Hokkaido. So let's open it here, but oh my God. Oh yeah. I'm probably just going to have to grab a piece of it because it's, so here's a piece of it so you can just kind of see what it looks like. I mean, it just looks like a butter cookie. Like, it's a very nondescript like butter cookie. It smells really toasty, to be honest. Sugary, toasty, definitely buttery, slight vanilla. It's light. It's really light in it, but it's buttery and flavorful. Got a nice crunch to it at the same time. It does, you do taste that kind of toasted because it's pretty brown, which I like. Yeah. It's just like a very light, slightly sweet buttery cookie. That's really nice. That's one that you would think, oh, people who do like tea and biscuits, that'd be a perfect one to go with tea. Perfect. Because it's kind of mild on the flavor and it wouldn't actually overpower the tea you were having. That's good. I dig it, man. I dig it. What is this? What is, oh, I know what this is. So this is from the featured snacks. This is an Odaiba ring. This one looks weird, slash interesting. And look at how this is like an amazing gold packaging. Sold only in Odaiba in Tokyo, this snack is made from light banana flavored chocolate crunch and topped with a white chocolate frosting. Once again, with a freaking white chocolate, man.  So I might dislike that just because of that. It looks weird. Like, look at that. Okay, I slightly smell the banana. It doesn't smell super strong. So if that's the way it is in the flavor, I could be okay. I do smell the white chocolate and the regular chocolate too, the milk chocolate in there. It smells good. It smells kind of sweet. Chocolatey. Okay. So how sensitive are you to banana flavors, the question? I'm relatively sensitive to it, but it is very light in this. So there are moments where I'm chewing that piece where I'm like, I taste a banana and I don't like that. But then it, the chocolate takes over and I'm like, well, now I like it. So it kind of oscillates between I'm enjoying it. I'm not enjoying it. And with the left end flavor, there is a little bit of lingering banana, but it's actually kind of tasting a little bit like a chocolate covered actual banana. It's tasting less artificial than what you would assume. So that's actually not bad for a banana flavored thing. I'm okay with that. It's not bad. Color me surprised. They're pretty surprised on that. Okay, next, we're getting low. We're almost done. So this must be almond cream sandwich. And I have two different ones. I have a soft raisin flavor and a yuzu and lemon. I don't want the raisin at the moment. I'll eat that later. I'm not, I'm not big on raisin. So that's the raisin one. I'm gonna leave that to later. I'm going to do yuzu and lemon especially because that's more of an interesting flavor profile in my opinion. So that would be more fun to do on the video. So almond, established in 1946, is a small bake shop in the alleys of Roppongi, Tokyo. They are known for popularizing these baked cookie sandwich filled with either soft raisin cream or yuzu lemon cream. So we are going, as I said, the yuzu. One of the things I also really appreciate about these Japanese snacks, the way they're packaged, a lot of times they will have like a little notch in there where you can actually not struggle with opening them. They have a pretty easy access point. Oh, well, part of it came off. But it's kind of good because then you can see this is what it looks like and then you can already see the cream in there. So I mean, it just looks like some buttery cookies with some cream in there. Oh, I smell the yuzu coming out. It's like this nice citrus along with the lemon. But then it's also mixing with like this nice dairy buttery smell. Yeah, so it's very light. Like when you bite through this cookie, it almost like falls apart in your mouth just kind of starts deconstructing and dissolving because it's very buttery. But that cream gives it a nice little citrusy zing between the lemon and the yuzu and it's really flavorful and tasty. But it's also buttery and decadent. It's nice. I think my wife will enjoy the other half of this. It's good. Okay, so now I'm going to, okay, I got two items left and usually I keep the hard candy item to the end because they always have a hard candy item. But I'm going to do that now and then do the other thing last because it's the weirdest and most risky. And you'll see what I mean. So right now I'm going to do from the popular snack side, super lemon. Can you handle the sourness? A super popular lemon candy which packs a punch. I do like sour too. So we will see. I guess I should put it the right way. There you go. You know, so I guess maybe this is supposed to be kind of like a warhead. Let me get that. Oh, yeah. Well, it looks like it's got like a sour powder on the outside. Let me shield it from the light a little bit so you can see. It's like a sour powder.  After having a lot of sweet stuff, it makes the tart like the sourness way more sour. I'm going to first taste your tongue. Okay, so like I said, I like sour. So that like big hit of sour was actually really nice. Woke me up. And then it's sweet. It's like sweet lemon after that. And I like this. I look forward to eating more of these. That's good. That's one of the better hard candies they've had in here. The other one they've had in that I really like this just is kind of weird. Are those milk candy ones that I've had like twice now because they almost taste a little caramely, but they do taste like a nice creamy like milk. So now you might be wondering, what is this last item that Carlin made sure he left to the end because it's weird? Well, it is a little something called curry curry. Yoshimi is a popular Japanese curry restaurant in Japan. Their Tokyo store launched these bite sized puffed mochi snacks topped with their secret curry spice blend. So literally curry mochi puffs. First of all, I've never had mochi puffs. Second of all, I've never had puffs with curry. Third of all, I've never had mochi with curry. Oh, yeah. Oh, it smells like curry. Oh, wow. It smells like curry. Yeah, buddy. That's a good smell, though. It's actually been a while since I've had Indian food and curry man. I do like a good curry. Look at that. So these little puffs, like they don't have a uniform shape. They're just very weird looking. Yeah, it just smells like spices. Oh, oh, that's good. So it's not like super spicy curry, but it does build slightly. It's got a beautiful curry flavor to it. Beautiful. If you like the underlying flavors of curry, but you just don't like the heat, there is a little bit of heat to it, but it's not crazy.  Yeah, this is good. Now, I wouldn't really know what's mochi that's puffed. It just tastes like a puffed rice thing. What the focus is is obviously the curry, the blend of curry spices. And that's good. That's a really nice snack. I like that a lot. This would actually go really well with, I know I say like, this is a snack that goes well with beer. For this one specifically, this would go really well with like a nice crisp pilsner. Or if you're looking to downplay some of the spice character to it, a really nice IPA because a lot of the lupulin from hops and IPA is having a lot of hops, combats capsaicin. So that's awesome. That's actually my favorite item in here because it was such a surprise flavor and it was good. So I really like that one. Also that sugar butter sandwich was really awesome. All the senpai, because it's senpai, wasn't really big on that like the corn, one that they said tasted like canned corn. Just not my thing. But yeah, good stuff. This is a good box. I never have bad boxes through Snaku. So if you have interest in Snaku, let me know. I actually have like an affiliate code or link or something. Email me brutal battle podcast at gmail.com. I can hook you up with that. It'll get you some money off and it'll help me out a little bit in getting points towards their stuff. But it's B-R-E-W-T-A-L and then battlepodcast at gmail.com. Spice is building a little bit. It's not crazy though. Tasty. But anyway, thanks everyone for checking this out. Put some comments down there.

What a great win for Stevenson. My name is Adam Polk. Great to be joined by Graham Miller. You got to be so excited. Number six team of the nation is here and three-two final score today. But Coach Miller, it just seemed to me that at the beginning of both halves, the first and second, you guys came out as the stronger side. That's a great observation and you know that that was the goal today. You know, when you're playing against a team that's number six in the country, there's one 14 in a row and a 14-0 and hasn't been behind much. You know, I think they've only been behind maybe once against Miss Ricordia and they ended up winning 3-1. So our goal and that's what we told the team is, you know, this is our home field. You know, this is conference. This is where it all counts. So regardless of previous results, we got to play the first 15-20 minutes in their half. We can't allow them to be in their half and you know, you've seen that. I mean, both teams only had five shots each but we had two goals. So the goal was, you know, to keep them at our half and we did that. So I thought for about 35-40 minutes we did the job and then let them a little bit back into it and then you're right. We talked about a 2-0 leading soccer. It's never a good lead.  So we talked about getting the next goal and you know, that started that second half. I thought they did really well until obviously the lost one but you know, great start in both halves. It looked like you did have that third goal early in the second half but a foul took it away.  You know, and that is the big thing.  You know, we don't get that goal. They could have put us three-nought than up and maybe out of sight. Then we could, they go down the field, they score, make it close. So the big thing for us was how do we respond? Do the heads go down? Do we think, oh, we're playing the number 16? We're 14. You know, they're going to come back now and when? No. So the way that we handled that shows our character that was missing a little bit at the start of the season, our fight and what a goal by Brianna to, you know, to give us that two-goal cushion again and then obviously it didn't last long. Brianna took such a great, did such a great job of knowing how much time she had. She was able to settle it down and really get a good foot into it.  It was a great finish by a freshman. Lastly, the first 50 minutes of the second half were back at fourth. There were opportunities abound. I mean, there were three goals scored, but really it could have been even more between the two teams combined. So you were able to maybe even put in a little bit more of a defensive posture over the last 30 minutes because when they scored to make it 3-2, a one-goal lead was still 29 minutes to play. Didn't seem to be a lead you felt good about. And I actually thought there was more goals in it. The way that game was going, the 3-2 with like 29 minutes left, I didn't know it was that much time. I can feel it though. But it was, I thought that that might be the, there might be more goals in it.  They put three forwards high and just, they did a little bit what we do. They went direct and you can see that's how they scored the goals, just getting the ball up the field. And so we talked to them about sitting a little bit deeper and then putting a little bit more defensive on the holding midfielders. And that's, that was a job for the last 29 minutes and I thought we did that well. One more, Coach Miller. Obviously this is, you've had many big wins this year, but this is your biggest. And, but you've got such a quick turnaround to take on another team that's in the top 15 in the country. One of the toughest teams in your conference in Messiah. So how do you kind of turn the page on this one and get focused for another big one? Because if you get that win on Tuesday, it could really spring you forward to a great end of the year. And you're right. And that's what we talked about.  And we knew that this going into this conference, you know, these were, this was our toughest stretch. You know, we had a tough one against Albright last week. We knew it was going to be tough against Arcadia today. And then Messiah on Tuesday. So now the game plan will be, let's enjoy this win and then let's get ready for Tuesday. And, you know, we'll be ready. And we're going to be ready to play, you know, one of the best teams in the country in the defending conference champs. But, you know, that's all the motivation we need. So we'll be, we'll be ready for Tuesday. And I hope we've got the energy and ready to go. Well, Coach Miller, we're so happy for you. Great win today. Thank you. I appreciate it. That's Coach Graham Miller, three, two. Stevenson wins it. We're going to take a break back with more right after this.


We are several days into no nut November and I have never participated in this no nut nonsense We even did a video. I think two years ago now debunking the testosterone myth Talking about this a lot. However, I still wonder why this is pushed in the media so hard You know, they never tell us to do anything that is actually good for us. So what makes this different? I mean one thing that's probably not true is that your fertility is higher in November that being said Fertility is technically peak from August through September Because of summer sun exposure higher quality food people are outside people are exercising And if you get pregnant in August and the baby is born in the spring summer The baby gets more vitamin D the mother gets vitamin D overall healthier people which they certainly don't want But maybe it's just a cover for all of the negative things affecting male fertility Maybe it's like oh well if you do no nut November, you'll be a new man Is it because they want men to be horny and spend more money during the holidays? I don't know. We all know the reproductive substance for males is referred to as sperm semen And men use a lot of their nutritional stores to ensure it is in peak condition relative to your own health So you have semen, which is the liquid containing water plasma mucus and some nutrients and the sperm Which seems to have more of a protein and be vitamin component So the nutrients and semen are meant to keep the sperm alive and provide energy while they are racing to the egg Using fructose as their predominant source I found it hilarious that some of these studies were referring to the vagina as a harsh environment The harsh environment of the vagina Yeah, I would imagine those New York City girls have some type of sewage system as their private parts that being said males can be just as vile as females a Perfectly healthy male semen just like a perfectly healthy female It's not really supposed to smell and the color of the semen supposed to be whitish gray If it's foul smelling if it's off-colored that could be an indicator of the person's health status or even something They're putting in their body whether it's a poor diet or various medications and I like to break down It into two components you have the energy and survival of the sperm in the semen and the quality of the sperm Which are both greatly impacted by your overall nutrition So from two studies I came to simple conclusions The first study was the relationship between semen quality and mineral composition of semen in various ram breeds and itself Explanatory they just looked at a bunch of different breeds of sheep looked at the mineral composition of the semen and If the minerals were off balance the sperm count was lower indicating that the minerals in the animals diet Directly impacted their fertility and the conclusion is mineral balance affects sperm count The second study was elemental composition of human semen is associated with Motility and genomic sperm defects among older men and they say that we identified differences in elemental Concentration between sperm and semenal plasma and that higher sperm copper Sulfur and calcium are Quantitatively associated with poor semen quality and increased frequencies of genomic sperm defects saying that higher is not better and Those specific minerals copper sulfur and calcium are in excess on a standard American diet You're not getting enough zinc to caramelize the copper Sulfur and eggs a lot of foods we eat now and calcium is way too high too much dairy people taking calcium supplements It's a perfect indicator that just throwing everything at it taking more is not going to fix your problem Now before I go into the rest of this I'll go over some common myths So people say that zinc is a major component of male ejaculate and although that is true It's just as important as the other minerals and it's likely that the average male is so deficient in zinc that many sexual health Benefits are seen when it's supplemented, you know ZMA zinc magnesium. I forgot the a is super popular supplement and One example for me was that when I was carnivore Even though I was taking a lot of zinc my sex drive was low But I incorporated selenium copper different mineral supplements into my diet My sex drive was very high and back to normal showing that Yeah, zinc works in the context of a standard American diet other minerals work in the context of a carnivore diet The point is you need to balance the minerals in regards to the physical composition of semen the most of the minerals are in the form of citrate so a Citric acid molecule bound to the calcium the magnesium the zinc and they can also be bound to phosphates and proteins Protein is being the second most prevalent compound in male ejaculate fluid as we mentioned earlier Fructose is contained in the semen for the sperm to use it as energy Which got me thinking Raw tards and vegans must be consuming all of those fruits and fructose because it makes their sperm sweeter And they can suck each other off for more protein Fucking losers speaking of which since minerals and protein are the main components of semen and sperm It makes sense that a vegan diet is the absolute worst for male fertility high amounts of anti-nutrients and vegetables and grains reduced mineral absorption while the lack of animal protein means Inadequate proteins and amino acids for sperm formation Outside of those main components we can assume that the diet as a whole will have an impact on sperm DNA quality Everything down to the fatty acid ratio in your tissues and before I forget one thing that I should have said at the beginning was You know abstaining from masturbation does not improve your sperm quality You know they say that yet it takes two and a half months for your body to produce a mature sperm cell however That's misleading because every day your body has the sperm cells that are ready You know the ones that started making those two and a half months ago The question is how long does it take for your semen your sperm to be at maximum capacity? My guess is one to two weeks Maximum depending on the individual now the rest of these four categories on here are What I would do to basically Increase your sperm quality and I mean you know the solution for kind of every single health thing I talk about involves improving the entire lifestyle and diet, but these are more specific So most people are deficient and imbalanced in certain minerals. So you want to identify those and supplement them Trace minerals usually the bigger culprit like my lab then a manganese selenium copper So all depletion in food is a big issue So just because you eat high quality organic food doesn't mean you're getting all the minerals you need for vitamins People are really really deficient in the B vitamins as well as vitamin D K2 vitamin C So those are the main ones most people do get enough vitamin a so that's the only one That's not really mentioned here But you want to keep a consistent uptake make sure digestion is good things like water key for dairy key for high quality Animal foods are gonna really help you improve your B vitamin status For energy that component of the sperm and semen quality I guess you want to optimize your organ function so you can metabolize your own energy properly before your body starts working on that Remove the anti nutrients of course Weightlifting and intense and frequent exercise seem like they would be a bad thing for for the semen and sperm quality Obviously getting outside exercising grounding being in touch with nature is good, but intense exercise every day for two or three hours I think that would do more harm than good for perfect health at least Antioxidant and what I mean by that is you need to remove a lot of negatives and that's probably more important than adding the positives the toxins in your lifestyle They definitely impact your sperm quality as well as the ability of your body to produce the sperm and the semen So even if you're taking everything you need and you're doing all this healthy stuff If you don't remove the negatives your body isn't going to be able to utilize the positives And the B vitamins are super super important for this because not only are they crucial in a component of sperm and semen B vitamins are also crucial for your antioxidant cycles same with vitamin C.  We have a bunch of things available on organsupplements.com You should really check out. I have so many interesting products Wi-Fi shielding I always wear my protective tank top underwear at all times I sleep in the bed canopies.

So I mean the main message here although this has kind of been all over the place is that you need to focus on Your fertility and your sperm and semen quality as opposed to abstaining from masturbation the effects You will get from doing those things will far exceed.

Okay, we're back, we're live for the 4 o'clock block. This is Think Tech. I'm Jay Fidel. And the guy on my left is Attila Suresse. Attila Suresse, welcome to the show. It's been nice. It's been a long time. It's nice to see you now. Well, it's good to see you too. You keep getting younger every time I see you. Yeah, so do you. I don't know how, you know, maybe we'd take drinking the same water. Attila was a host on Think Tech for a long time, back a couple years ago I guess. And a lot has happened since then. He's been building his company, which is SOSTechSolutions.com, yeah, you got it. And he's been doing cybersecurity. So we're calling this show, it's a new year in cybersecurity because there's a lot of developments there. Yeah, that's his logo and everything and show a picture of his website as it exists. There it is. It's coming. I know it's coming. I see it coming. Watch this. Poof. TV magic. TV magic. Poof. So, I've sort of summarized what you've been doing, but give me a little detail on that, Attila. Sure. I mean, there's a lot of small to medium-sized businesses in Hawaii. They're all subject to the same kind of demands and problems that the big companies have. So the idea is to bring that kind of enterprise level protection to the Hawaii business market because we need it here. Any sort of disruptions in any sort of businesses here, be it food, be it retail, be it wholesale, any of that stuff, can really mess up the economy. Yeah, on a larger scale, it can mess us all up, you know, if some critical function in the economy goes down, we all suffer. So on a public policy point of view, it's valuable to do what you're doing and increasingly important, I would say. We saw that on Saturday. We saw how important computers are. We're completely dependent on them now, and therefore, we have to make them work. But there are things that get in the way of nasties. There are nasties. Can we talk about some of the nasties? You have a newsletter. Talk about your newsletter and talk about the article that you had, which was about Hackers Got Lucky at Christmas. Of course. So, there's something called Grateful POS. Now, if you haven't heard of this, you will. It's very new. What happened is a bunch of malicious software got on point of sale systems. I'm not sure if you know this, but point of sale systems are essentially computers. And those computers are swiping credit cards, and that Grateful POS software silently made its way onto thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of point of sale systems. Still a figure of numbers. A cogent horse kind of thing. Exactly. And the worst part was that no antivirus software that was currently on the market of the top 65 antivirus software could find it. So, what that meant is it was siphoning off credit card numbers and sending it off to a far off country to fund human trafficking, drug trafficking, organized crime, and all that stuff was affecting local businesses all throughout the United States and here. And so, there's some damage control that's being done, but in the coming weeks and months we're going to start seeing the outcome of that. You know, isn't it interesting that we have all these hacks and ransomware attacks all in 2017, and now organized crime is stronger than ever? Third world countries have the funds to build weapons of mass destruction and send them our way, potentially. And who knows what we're going to see this year? It's here countries too. First world countries are up people. Well, just rewinding a little bit in the timeline, if you look back in November of 2016, when WikiLeaks originally left out some of these problems that were being used, some of these exploits, a few months later we saw the WannaCry ransomware attack and that WannaCry ransomware attack took down computers all from London to Thailand all across the way, you know, so big commercial computer systems were held ransom, millions of dollars of ransomware payments went out, it's been confirmed to North Korea, and then six months later North Korea has a new missile program. Wonder where they got the funding from? Oh, that's really stinky. Came from them, huh? Well, it's confirmed. I'm not repeating anything that you can't Google yourself and find out to come from. Yeah, OK. You can talk stinky about them. They've been stinky to us. Anyway, you know, the thing about it is you mentioned now two things that are threatening. One is the one at Christmas was again. This is grateful and you mentioned WannaCry, OK, and the Christmas grateful happened at Christmas, but we haven't heard about it since. I mean, I haven't. And then WannaCry was a year ago and we haven't heard much about that. Does this mean these things have been resolved? They say it came up on the screen and then they went off the screen. Did somebody fix them? What happened? Well, they paid a ransom. And the way the ransomware works is that it gets onto a computer, right? And then once it's inside that computer, it says, OK, I'm going to silently encrypt all these files. We've had to physically do this for clients to remediate this problem. And once it encrypts all the files, then it says, great, would you like your files back? If so, here's the ransom demand. It can be anywhere from $1,000 to $5,000. The highest we've seen here locally is $105,000. Wow, they didn't pay it though. They did not, but they also did lose 12 years of data. Oh, they never got it back. Never got it back. But if you can figure out the encryption and decrypt it, you get it back. Well, these guys are smart. What they figured out is that in order for you to figure out the encryption would take several years to reverse engineer that encryption key.  And then a few days after that, before they just erase all of your files. Destroy the files. So that's their way of preventing you from spending any time to fix it. Correct. So what happened? I mean, what's the end of the story? Are they still doing it? Correct. In fact, it's become more and more targeted. So 2017 was kind of the proving ground for this kind of activity. What we're seeing now, and you can see this almost on a daily basis, we have three hospitals that I read about just this morning that were infected with ransomware. Power companies are now becoming infected with ransomware. And it gets more diabolical than that. They're exploiting very specific targeted attacks in order to do very specific things. So for example, in the case of these energy companies, they look at the energy company's website. And on the website, they have beautiful graphics showing the company's equipment and with engineers standing proudly in front of them, right? And so the criminal looks at that and says, wow, I recognize that piece of equipment behind them. Let's go on their website and see what jobs they have opening. Oh, great. They're hiring. Let's send out some resumes with some malicious payloads. Oh, this is sophisticated stuff. But well understood and well known. And not simple, right? I'm sorry. It's simple, but it's not terribly easy to do. They take these resumes. They match a qualifying resume. They submit it to the power company. Within that, they have malicious payload geared directly towards taking down that piece of equipment that's there at the power company. And they have been successful at gaining control of a couple of them. Luckily, not here in the US as far as we know, but it has been around the world. And we're seeing more of that when it comes to health care, when it comes to insurance, big boys, right? But big data. Big data and big money. And these hospitals in particular that I reference, they did pay this ransom of, it was an undisclosed amount, but they did pay the ransom, and they were able to kind of get back up and going. A ransom is a very finicky kind of business. It's like a real ransom where they're holding someone hostage to give them money. They say, maybe we want some more. There's no guarantee of you receiving your data back after you've paid that amount. And the FBI says that you should never pay the ransom, because it encourages this activity to continue. But people do. They do. It's just like real kidnapping. It's the same thing. People do. Well, it gets worse. So there's this new strain of ransomware called Jaff ransomware. How do you spell that? J-A-F-F. And Jaff ransomware is fun for the criminal. They've gotten wise. They say, you know, these ransomware payments are going down. People have great backups. They just take their computers, either throw them away or wipe them clean, put in all new data, and off they go. They've just lost their opportunity. So instead, before encrypting the files, they take all these files and send them off to a cloud storage somewhere, some compromised place. And then they encrypt the files. And then they ask you for money. They say, oh, and you know what, if you don't pay us, we're going to take those files that we stole and sell them on the dark web. And if they contain things like PII, which is personally identifiable information, so security numbers. Oh, that's one step further, isn't it? Yeah. Wow. So the price goes up. I mean, what do you do to stop this? Well, believe it or not, the best defense is education. What do you tell them to do? Well, there's ongoing education and training programs. And a lot of it's common sense. So obviously, there are some technology solutions that can mitigate some of this damage. But whenever we work with an organization to secure, to increase their posture in terms of cybersecurity, what we do is we make sure, OK, we put in the best of breed equipment to protect you, and there's still this element that is human. Sometimes I've heard it called a chair to keyboard interface error, i.e. the person between the chair and the keyboard. You want to look at that. For example, we sent a weekly email trainings. And the one that went out this week was about how to identify misspelled words and emails and how to identify a bad link in the email itself. So for example, if you get an email from Chase, demanding payment, and you hover over the link and it says some long Ukrainian website, you know it's not Chase. It's not Chase. I always do that now. Always do that now. So OK, so that's the phishing side of thing, where they're doing what a social engineering and phishing engineering on you. But once you've got the pox, how do you get it? Once they send you that awful email and tell them it makes all these threats and demands are ransom, what do you do? Well, the best defense is to have a good business continuity plan or backup plan. So backup helps. Backup does help. You've got to backup and you've got to backup such a way so that your restore will be minimal disruption. And the larger the organization, the more disruptive it could be, it's kind of a hidden fact. But 60% of all businesses that get hit with ransomware within six months go out of business. Out of business. Out of business. They simply cannot recover.  Bad disruptive. This is really damaging. So if I'm a prosecutor or the FBI or whatever, some law enforcement agency, what do I do? How successful have they been? Have they caught any of these guys? I'm not a liberator, you say, because I do work with them on some of this stuff. But I do know that they are able to, they usually know about the threat actors beforehand. So they know that this stuff is going on.  And a small business, such as what is what, 98% of our businesses here on the island, is going to kind of fall by the wayside when it comes to something like this. They can't afford to deal with it. Right. They're going to go back to paper and pencil and try to run their business that way. Terrible. I remember the state of Hawaii Attorney General's Office had a unit that was supposed to be involved in computer crime, not only cyberterrorism and all that, but computer crime. And I think my recollection is they had a one lawyer or two, and they didn't have a whole lot of investigative resources. They didn't have an army of guys working for them that could actually identify or investigate, find out where it was coming from, talk to other agencies and all that. So I don't think that we do as much as we can to find these guys and prosecute them and punish them. There's really no disincentive, is there? It works just well for them, doesn't it? Well, let me tell you about who these guys are. Maybe we should have that conversation. So there's kind of this misconception that it's this guy in a hood. I'm sure you've seen it. The guy in a hood, he's on a computer, he's got a cup of coffee next to him. In the basement. In the basement, right? Maybe some matrix looking letters going in his background and he's sitting there hacking away, right? And he's stealing money. That image is completely incorrect. Cybersecurity, cybercriminals are well funded. They are organized. And they typically have ties to larger organizations. Like governments. Correct. And there is a strong incentive to keep their relationship alive because there's so much money at stake. Just as a comparison, the largest bank heist was, I think, $30 million. And last year, something like $40 billion estimated was stolen by cybercriminals. So it's a completely different ballgame. You know what's an economic weapon is what it is. I mean, I'm North Korea. And I want to really hurt this country. Sure, I can try to bring the power plants down. But if I take all the data and separate the data from the companies that need the data, I can really put a dent in the economy in general. Make one great big attack like that. Using proven technology. Technology we know that works. So when these guys are developing ransomware, and they're state actors or they're working for state actors, seems to me they're involved in a process that could be like war against any country that has companies that require their own data. Yeah, and it's not just them. It's an entire industry. Cybercriminals are not just completely isolated in these very organized syndicates. There's actually industries where you can kind of get your own kit and go after a company yourself if you wanted to. So it's become commoditized. Even the targeted company. Correct. And what is beginning to happen a lot with these cyber criminals is actually so much data being stolen that it's very difficult for them to even commoditize all that stuff. So for example, Equifax. How many records were stolen? Over half the US populations. And there was a breach a few months later that didn't really make headline news. And there's continuous breaches that happen with smaller companies, such as cell phone carriers. And you see those on the news feed as well. Now the deal is that that information ends up on someplace called the dark web. Have you heard of the dark web? So the dark web, of course, is where all this stuff ends up. And then the deep web is where the real nasty stuff is. But your credit card information is on the dark web. The average is you can get into both the deep and the dark web, can't you? Well, it's just degrees of the same thing. And on the dark web, they're actively selling credit card information, personal identifiable information, health records that have been stolen. Even targeted. Yeah. If I say I want to get Joe Blow, right? I can go and get Joe Blow's information and do some bad things to Joe Blow, right? Sure. In fact, after the show, because I don't think we should do it on camera, I can look up your information to see if you're on the dark web, because you might be. OK, well, that makes me feel like I need to take a break, Attila, to react. That's Attila Ceres. He's the CEO and proprietor of SOSTechSolutions.com right here in Hawaii, in A. And we're talking about a new year for cybersecurity or terrorism, as the case may be. We'll be right back with Attila. I'm going to the game, and it's going to be great. Early arriving for a little tailgate. I usually drink, but won't be drinking today, because I'm the designated driver, and that's OK. It's nice to be the guy that keeps his friends in line, keeps them from drinking too much so we can have a great time. A little responsibility can go a long way, because it's all about having fun on game day. I'm the guy you want to be. I'm the guy I save good money. I'm the guy with the age you were growing. I'm the guy that says, let's go. Lots of out of the comfort zone, where I find cool people with cool solutions to problems that all of us face. Now, the thing is, we're really cool, and I only invite really cool people. But the thing is, I think you're kind of cool too. So I think you should come and watch. That Thursdays at 11 AM here on OC16 Television with Think Tech Hawaii. I'm RB Kelly, host of Out of the Comfort Zone, and I will see you next Thursday. I mean, there's stuff on there. OK, now, during the break, Stella showed me SiWare, C-Y-W-A-R-E. What is that? Well, it's a great source. They assemble a lot of cybersecurity news, a nice pleasing format that anyone can pick up and watch. One of the other feats. So we watch a lot of feats to get some of this stuff. Obviously, we work with Federal and State for some of their proprietary information. But you can also pick some of the stuff up SiWare and even Flipboard, which is built into one of those types of things. I see, yeah, I have Flipboard, yeah. Just filter out your category so you don't get all that trash about whatever's going on in the White House, and pick up just the cybersecurity and new tech news, and you'll see some scary stuff on there. Yeah, well, scary stuff. I want to talk about that. I want to talk about you. I mean, if I were you, I'd be slightly paranoid already, knowing as you do about all these troubles and threats and bad guys and malware just all surrounding us, we're sinking in a world of this stuff. Doesn't it give you a headache actually to know about all that? Well, wouldn't it be better that I become informed and our staff also become informed as much as possible so we can best protect our clients? I mean, that's what it's all about. Can you protect me? I'm ABC Company. Can you tell me, Jay, no problem, oh, we're going to protect you from all these threats? Can you tell me that? Sure. The idea is that it's best effort. Everyone's going to give you best effort, right? You go to McDonald's, they're going to give you the best effort hamburger they can. They can't guarantee you're not going to get food poisoning. But they'll give you the best effort, and overall, they provide a consistent experience. In the same way, every organization is like that. We do best effort cybersecurity with the best tools available. And guess what? Every year, those tools change. So we keep giving the best tools, and then the best tools in the next year and the next year. So that's kind of the process. So who's winning this deal? I mean, we have more malware going on all the time.  And we have cybersecurity guys who specialize and try to come up with fixes and protections and the like. Who's winning? Well, to find winning. Who's making more money? That's for sure. We're still ahead. Who's winning in terms of can you beat them? Can they beat you? Who comes out ahead?  I would say the ransom guys are winning. Well, that is one statistic. But you can also see that after a major data loss, so not necessarily a data breach, 60% of businesses go under. 80% of restaurants go under within the first year. There's a lot of factors that can come in there. But it's a confounding variable. So when it comes to actually figuring out if this was the cause, I'm sure it's one of the things, but it could be the final nail in the coffin for a company. So it just depends on the size of the business. It's part of doing business now. Yeah, exactly. I mean, as a business owner, you can expect a lot of problems from your employees or from legal problems from all kinds of angles. So this is just one more. Sure, because implications, because you have a duty now. It's a duty. You as a proprietor, serving clientele, holding their data, you have a duty to protect. And if you don't do anything, that's clearly a legal exposure to you and your company. So that's another way you could go down by failing to take care of it in violation of your obligations to your clientele. Well, and from an insurance perspective, they're not going to insure or even obviously reimburse a company that didn't put essentially locks on the doors that the doors being their computers. They didn't properly secure their data. They didn't put in a business continuity plan and they have a responsibility to their own customers to be able to operate and they fail to do so because they didn't hire like a cybersecurity company or someone who specializes in this to come protect them. So let's take the retailer who got the grateful bug. You know, I find it very interesting. It reminds me of Stuxnet. Stuxnet, how the guys who developed Stuxnet propagated it all over the world. It went everywhere, but it was calculated to go to one kind of nuclear controller made by Siemens, just happened to be in Iran, just happened to be there. So it went everywhere. I mean, it must have been millions of machines were infected with no effect, but it went to this kind of machine in Iran and it blew up the center futures. So the same thing here, you could target, you could get on retail, you could bring a company down on the retail and I guess they, you know, one way or the other through social engineering or otherwise they can get it onto your retail machine. Now, the retailer, I guess this hasn't been solved yet. So every time I put my credit card in and I do, I'll admit it, I do. Okay, it's at risk. Does the retailer have to tell me, should he tell me that I'm at risk? They're obligated by PCI compliance. So they do have a compliance standard that they have to, and we should talk about compliance here before we run out of time, but compliance does require them to notify you that something's happened. So you may have received something in the mail that says, hey, you know, I'm sorry to say, our important sales systems have been compromised or our database have been compromised. Be sure to keep it on your credit report. Thank you very much, goodbye. And that's it.  Yeah, what am I gonna do with that? Yeah. Okay, I'll cut all my credit cards and start walking around with cash. No, I'm not gonna do that. You know, that's not functional. Well, as long as we know where you are, we can put a blindfold on you and take all your money. Well, maybe we should change our credit cards every two weeks, you know, that'd be safer with it. Well, it just really depends. I mean, if you really need some sort of credit card, you can put a credit freeze on your account. So that was, if you go to my blog, you'll see I wrote up an entire thing about what to do. If your personal information was compromised during the Equifax breach. Yeah. And one of the things to do is to put a credit card freeze on there. Yes, it's 30 bucks. But you know what? If you're not getting a new credit card all the time, that's okay too. Yeah, yeah, yeah. How do I get your blog? How do I find it? Your newsletter is blogged, same thing. Yeah, well, there's things to it. What's the name of it and how do I find it? Well, if you go to our website, sosy.com or sostechsolutions.com, there's a link right there to the blog. We have all kinds of stuff on there. And if you just Google my name, you see tons of stuff. Okay, tell us a rest. That's what, through T's. Yeah, you got it. Okay, so anyway, so in closing, we only have a couple of minutes left here.   Oh yeah. Are you gonna spend your time on the Intel chip problem? Are you gonna spend your time on other kinds of malware and ransomware and what have you? What does it look like for you, Attila? Well, predictions for 2018, big time. The chip problem, the meltdown problem, is gonna affect a lot of cloud service providers. We're gonna see some service averages. There's gonna be more targeted and sophisticated ransomware. And the NIST 800-171 requirement that the federal government has put out on all federal contractors that receive any sort of funds from them. Even on a project that they're participating in as a sub, they are required to protect the data. This is called CUI, controlled and classified information. They're obligated to protect that information and keep it from getting into the wrong hands by all these ways that we already described. So, part of those NIS requirements, and I know we could talk about this a lot longer, there's training involved, there's best practices involved. A lot of the stuff that these NIS requirements that are coming out, they're really guidelines that you shouldn't be doing anyway. What's that stand for NISD? What's that stand for? National Institute of Something or Other. But it's the standards for it. Standards, yeah. Right, so every organization has to pick some sort of standards that they can go by. And so whether it's an engineering standard or if it's an architecture standard or one of these other standards that they're gonna choose is an industry standard, the software development standards. The NIS standard is kind of a general standard that the federal government has imposed. It says, look, follow this and you'll be okay. Follow this and we'll deal with you. We'll have business with you. Don't follow this and we can't use you as a contractor, yeah? In fact, if anyone has been on a contract after October 1st of last year, they're required to submit all their proof of cyber compliance. And if any contracts are awarded and you think you're in the clear, that can be contested by someone based on that standard. So it's another bullet in the barrel of their gun against trying to knock you down from an awarded contract. All the big major federal contractors, anyone with even as a subcontractor to a federal are required to go by this NIS standard. And it was enacted in December 31st of last year. So it's just a few weeks old now. So they're gonna begin enforcing that. They're gonna be requiring this stuff. And a lot of it is paperwork, but a lot of it is also procedural. So it's not terribly complicated stuff. It's just a lot of little moving parts that you should really put into your business. At the end of the day, it's really best practices. Do you have a program or do you have a written procedure for bringing someone on and bringing someone off and hiring someone and doing drug tests and these kind of things? How do you protect this information? Are your employees trained on cybersecurity and how to protect yourself? These are all really important questions that even as a business owner, especially if you're handling classified information, you should have a really good handle on. And particularly for all these subcontractors that are really small, right? That are maybe just making a buy. They haven't thought of these things. They're out there doing plumbing, electrical, et cetera. They're not thinking about the actual critical data that they're holding onto that they've compromised to compromise the entire project in our country. I'll give you another thing. Bunch of really good investigators who are trained in computer technology and prosecutors find a few of those buggers. Find them and prosecute them. If the statutes aren't stiff enough, make them stiffer and put those guys in the pillory in the stocks for about a thousand years and make it public and try to diminish the amount of this activity. Because right now it's rampant. That's what it sounds like to me. And there's no downside to doing it. And if there's no downside in this country, well, there's no downside in Ukraine either at all. In fact, your government might support you. So what I get is we're not stopping a flood of this kind of activity. We're dealing with it on a completely defensive basis and we aren't stopping anybody from doing it. We've got to take action against them, don't you think? Absolutely. And it's like toxic mold. It just continues to grow if unchecked. And 2017 was the biggest year in history for breaches and data loss and all these other big problems. 2018 is going to be even worse. Oh my goodness. Yeah, every year it keeps getting bigger and bigger. Back to Walden Pond, back to the Alaskan hinterland, so we can get away from all this. Well, environmental sciences and what we're doing to the planet is probably a different conversation. If we can get back to it, I really hope so. Both of the good old days. So in the end, what we've learned here today with the Tillis Arrest is that this kind of computer malware and ransomware and all these horrible things that these smart guys are developing, sometimes by themselves and sometimes has hired weapons or even state actors, it's not so much that. It's really sort of like toxic mold. That's what we learned. Thank you, Tillis. Thanks for having me. Come back soon. Great. I will.
