“Hi Hannah, we’ve had a server go down and some records have accidentally been deleted. Are you able to send over the payroll details for the following employees for processing? We have the rest covered, these ones were just caught as the backup failed.

This is one story of Business Email Compromise (BEC), a style of spear phishing email scams that don’t target the dumb and easily fooled. Instead, they’re business-savvy, styled to be from a regular business associate, boss, or any other company employee. It’s a trick even your most clever employees might fall for.
I’m seeing these types of attacks becoming more common, as you likely are too.
The 2018 State of the Phish report found that 75% of infosecurity professionals indicated phishing activity within their organisation in 2017.
One type of business phishing, CEO fraud, is up 2370% since 2015.
HR: A not-so-new target of BEC scams?
Because we’re collectively wising up to checking emails that request money, spear phishing emails are not only targeting people with the purse strings (i.e. finance professionals) anymore. It’s a little more convoluted - and HR, as we’ve seen commonly here at MailGuard, is a common target.
Case in point: In October of this year, my team intercepted a large-scale run of scam emails targeted towards HR professionals. Masquerading as job applications, the emails included password-protected resumes. These led to the download of a malicious payload when viewed.
As a business owner who actively recruits myself, I can deeply empathise with anyone who is currently reviewing resumes. It would be hard to not fall for this scam. The nature of the job requires you to view attachments from unknown senders. Plus, the inclusion of a password to trigger the download of the malicious payload makes it harder for email filtering services to access the payload directly. So, it’s less likely that the email will be classified as a scam and more likely that it’ll appear in inboxes. See why I keep calling these attacks sneaky?
The IRS had, actually, put out a notice as far back as 2016 warning payroll and HR that they are now targets in tax fraud scams. It even happened to Snapchat.
HR is such a lucrative target for hackers because of the value of the information it holds (the personal data that can be exploited) and the ease of entry (the chance that HR employees will open unsolicited emails).
Let me put it to you this way: Any employee who holds the keys to valuable data is a target. Cybersecurity is a very complex challenge, precisely for this reason. Every part of an organisation represents its own unique set of challenges and vulnerabilities and value to opportunistic and patient cybercriminals.
And HR too, has its own unique needs and challenges when it comes to cyber security, that could even be different depending on geography. Studies such as the Telstra Cyber Security Report 2017 found HR had a lower involvement in cybersecurity initiatives in Australian firms for instance compared to in Asia.
Why is this so? Is HR being overlooked when it comes to training teams to be cyber vigilant? Is the role of HR in cybersecurity limited to organising training sessions rather than attending them? These are questions that we, as CEOs and Infosec heads, should be asking ourselves as HR-related cybercrime evolves and grows in sophistication every day.
Referring to the email Hannah received, it seems to me that HR has no choice but to open a Word Document or an email entitled ‘Job Application,’ which puts the department at risk.
One solution to the problem is whitelisting a set of email domains, with everything else quarantined by the IT department. However, this type of solution can get old fast - we email new domains all the time, and putting roadblocks in email access for employees is going to cause friction.
Another option may be the use of cloud-based services, like job portals (SEEK, Indeed, etc.) or Candidate Management platforms, which will keep those malicious files outside of the hiring organisation.
Email security solutions that the business employs to screen inbound email for malicious attachments & links, etc. also become super useful in such situations. I advise using specialist email security solutions that can stack seamlessly with your native email security solution (like Office 365 with MailGuard) in order to build a multi-layered cybersecurity strategy.
Educating your team is also a great way to defend your systems and data. I have repeatedly emphasised creating a security culture at work. Provide weekly updates on new scams to watch out for. Teach your employees to be on their toes.
For additional security, you can also rely on Multi-Factor Authentication, (also known as 2FA or MFA) if it is available for key business critical systems. Doing so will provide an extra layer of protection for extremely confidential information, especially for your cloud-based accounts.

A proof of Pythagoras Theorem.
Draw a square with sides of length A+B. Mark off the length B from each corner going around in a clockwise direction (say). Join up these marks to make a smaller, tilted square inside the larger square. Label the sides of the smaller, tilted square C.
Now the area of the larger square is (A+B)2, as is obvious to see.
The area of each of the triangles is (A*B)/2, as can be seen in the triangle on the left. So the total of all 4 triangles in the larger square is 4*(A*B)/2 = 2*(A*B). The area of the tilted square is C2, obviously.
Therefore (A+B)2 = 2*(A*B) + C2.
Expanding the left side we get A2 + 2*(A*B) + B2 = 2*(A*B) + C2.
Cancelling 2*(A*B) from both sides, we get A2 + B2 = C2.

Four engraved map sheets joined (overall sheet size: 42 x 51 ½ inches; framed 38 ½ x 57 inches).
Fine engraved map of Maryland, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Virginia by Joshua Fry and Peter Jefferson in 1775; with original hand-colour in outline by state, the title within a fine rococo cartouche with historically important vignette of a dockside tobacco trading scene lower right, with a dedication below the cartouche. The distances and directions upper left derived by J. Dalrymple in 1755, survey lines are noted and explained, large compass rose centre right. The Fry - Jefferson map of the broad area known as Virginia is the fundamental cartographic document of the region from the 18th century. The first map to focus on Virginia was Captain John Smith's of 1612, but after that early and primitive attempt to delineate the area, no exhaustive study was made for over a century. This basic lack was first confronted by the team of Peter Jefferson -- also known as the father of Thomas Jefferson -- and Joshua Fry. The two men were commissioned by the Virginia legislature after a 1751 mandate, issued by the English Lords of Trade, required each colony to produce an adequate survey of the region. Fry's expertise as master of mathematics at William and Mary, and Jefferson's as a surveyor, earned them the honor of being selected to compile the Virginia map. The result of the ambitious collaboration between the two men was the most accurate, comprehensive, and complete project in the history of Virginia mapping. The Fry - Jefferson map was the first to delineate the interior regions of Virginia beyond the Tidewater, and included all the major plantations along Virginia's rivers by family name. It was the first printed map to depict the valleys of the Appalachian and Allegheny mountain ranges of the western interior, and to show the complete Virginia river system. The striking cartouche at the lower right is one of the earliest surviving pictorial representations of the Virginia tobacco trade, and a testament to the fact that Fry and Jefferson ensured the same quality in the map's artwork as in its cartography. Historically, this is the most valuable and influential early map of Virginia. This particular example was included in Thomas Jefferys' "American Atlas," published in London in 1776 (though the map itself bears the date of 1775).

Perhaps one of the very common types of do-it-yourself projects may be the bathroom. In fact, it’s a not quite a tie between the toilet or the kitchen as the most frequent updated rooms of a house! And like every other do-it-yourself project, your bathrooms remodel – especially one that’s located off the master suite – means there are a selection of choices to be created from the kinds of flooring and fixtures to features like the bathroom vanity and lights. Most of us have been around in that situation when you’re stepping into a new house, or maybe renovating a current home, and you need to get a brand new bathroom sink. You could not be certain concerning the kinds of bathroom sinks available, or what is important to take into account when buying bathroom sinks. In this short article, we shall consider a number of the factors you ought to take into account, in addition to briefly discussing some of the other factors you should consider before buying a sink. There are almost uncountable forms of bathroom shower ideas around the world. Mostly people such as for instance a little flair in there shower style, so for this function we have placed some of the greatest type of shower ideas below.
So what sort of elements does one consider when a bathroom remodel has been planned? After all, there are so many options! But perhaps the very first thing to do is to have a plan. Be sure to keep things such as for instance budget and useable space key determinants along the way so that you can move forward. Needless to say, if you work with a skilled team of remodelers, then you can be sure that they may know to plan the room so you get the most boost for your budget. The Aluminum Glass Shower. The very first form of bathroom shower design, which I am going to share with you, is a type of Aluminum and glass shower with an enclosure. This enclosure is done using glass panels, which can be mounted on an aluminum frame. This shower enclosure is then surrounded with walls fitted with metal grey tiles, the blend of the metal with the tiles and clear glass provides a slightly new look.
As you begin thinking about upgrades, don’t ignore choosing your bathrooms vanity that complements your style. No further is one relegated to boring Formica countertops for the toilet! Today’s homeowners can choose from many different surfaces such as for example inlaid tiles, natural stone as well as custom pieces that add depth and beauty. But each of these bathroom vanity tops offer a selection of features or options of customizing. As you make your final decision, remember these basics of bathroom vanity choices. One of the most important factors to consider is space – what are your special restrictions when buying and fitting a new sink. There is no point choosing your dream bathroom sink, only to locate that it generally does not easily fit in, or alternatively that it looks too small within your bathroom. Think about the design of the room – will the restroom sink go in the corner of the room, or do you want it to function as the centrepiece of the room.
The Seaside shower. One bathroom shower idea is that many people would first think hard before implementing this idea. The concept uses a simpler type of shower attached on aside of a wall and the shower may be moved since it is linked to a pipe. To enhance the effect, dark grey tiles is going to be attached only on the ground, while the walls is going to be covered with sea blue colored checkered tiles. To incorporate more effect a sitting area will also be manufactured in the shower, which is connected, which is covered with light grey tiles and the general shower area will soon be covered with glass panels. This kind of bathroom shower idea should indeed be one of its kind as it reflects quite a sophisticated design with a little reflection of the sea. The bathroom vanity you decide on should: Be crafted to accommodate the keeping of the sink to be wherever you’ll need it to go. Be either a whole match to the toilet vanity material or either a deliberate contrast that also complements the colors and style of the room. Coordinate with picking a commode and shower/bathtub. Be able to accommodate and work with whatever fixtures you’ve chosen as part of the remodel. Keep in mind that the faucets are generally either widespread designs that want at the very least 3 drilled holes to be manufactured or center spread faucets might have 1 to 3 holes to be drilled.
It’s also wise to look at the style of the bathroom, and the style of the sink that you simply wish to put in. Many folks are fans of a glass sink, which will look extremely classy in the right bathroom, but look out of invest a differently styled bathroom. Do you wish to get a contemporary look, versus a practical look? Maybe you are less worried about style, and more about the lowest priced, viable option. Many of these factors are essential, and you need to pick a good choice for the bathroom. The Classy Shower. That is another kind of bathroom, which will have a straightforward, but a classy look. The contrast can have a white and grey colour and have grey colored cabinets, white colored sink and a stool. As the shower is likely to be attached on the roof of the restroom and the shower, area is going to be give covered with glass panels and with a little mix of black and white tiles. The restroom will overall be covered with white tiles.
When it comes to the different types or styles, of bathroom sinks that you can purchase, there are certainly a wide selection of sinks. These include pedestal, countertop, wall mounted, corner, inset, semi-recessed, space saving / en-suite or undercounter basins. Always remember that the choice is a personal decision, based in your tastes and the area in which you need certainly to work with. The Rainfall Shower. If your preferred place for remove your stress could be the shower than you will surely love this kind of idea. The idea consist of a rainfall shower head adjusted on the ceiling and the entire shower area covered with grey tiles that is an incredible combination for a rainfall kind of look. This may definitely possess a refreshing and a new type showering experience for you.
Before you make the decision which sink to buy, you should also consider other factors such as for example installation. Whether you will have the ability to set up your own personal sink depends on your own DIY skills. Some bathroom sink companies will include installation in their prices, whereas others will not. In this case, if you’re not experienced at DIY, you might be best advised to hire a plumber ahead and fit the sink for you. This would not be an overly expensive investment, however, it’s obviously important that your sink and water pressure is properly fixed. The Luxurious Shower. A more recent and modern method using the inspiration of palaces is this luxurious bathroom, the idea is always to decorate the shower area with multicolored tiles and the usage of a free of charge stand tub having a dual shower and the tub placed just beside a window a lovely and natural look. The flooring is going to be of light hardwood floor, gives a wonderful finish to the entire look of the shower.
When you yourself have made a decision which sink to purchase, you’ll need to determine where to purchase the sink from. Among the deciding factors can occasionally be what warrantee each company is prepared to provide. Always do your research to find a reputable company, and try to ensure that the organization features a good reputation within the and they’ve positive reviews. The Beige Shower. This type of shower uses alcove shower directly the ceiling while the complete bathroom walls are covered with beige walls using large granite looking tiles and a stone slab with an under mount sink and cabinets attached on the side of the sink. The shower area is going to be covered with curtains and a glass door to enhance the beauty of the shower.

it’s also wise to look at the style of the bathroom, and the style of the sink that you simply wish to put in. many folks are fans of a glass sink, which will look extremely classy in the right bathroom, but look out of invest a differently styled bathroom. do you wish to get a contemporary look, versus a practical look? maybe you are less worried about style, and more about the lowest priced, viable option. many of these factors are essential, and you need to pick a good choice for the bathroom. the classy shower. that is another kind of bathroom, which will have a straightforward, but a classy look. the contrast can have a white and grey colour and have grey colored cabinets, white colored sink and a stool. as the shower is likely to be attached on the roof of the restroom and the shower, area is going to be give covered with glass panels and with a little mix of black and white tiles. the restroom will overall be covered with white tiles.
when it comes to the different types or styles, of bathroom sinks that you can purchase, there are certainly a wide selection of sinks. these include pedestal, countertop, wall mounted, corner, inset, semi-recessed, space saving / en-suite or undercounter basins. always remember that the choice is a personal decision, based in your tastes and the area in which you need certainly to work with. the rainfall shower. if your preferred place for remove your stress could be the shower than you will surely love this kind of idea. the idea consist of a rainfall shower head adjusted on the ceiling and the entire shower area covered with grey tiles that is an incredible combination for a rainfall kind of look. this may definitely possess a refreshing and a new type showering experience for you.
before you make the decision which sink to buy, you should also consider other factors such as for example installation. whether you will have the ability to set up your own personal sink depends on your own diy skills. some bathroom sink companies will include installation in their prices, whereas others will not. in this case, if you’re not experienced at diy, you might be best advised to hire a plumber ahead and fit the sink for you. this would not be an overly expensive investment, however, it’s obviously important that your sink and water pressure is properly fixed. the luxurious shower. a more recent and modern method using the inspiration of palaces is this luxurious bathroom, the idea is always to decorate the shower area with multicolored tiles and the usage of a free of charge stand tub having a dual shower and the tub placed just beside a window a lovely and natural look. the flooring is going to be of light hardwood floor, gives a wonderful finish to the entire look of the shower.
when you yourself have made a decision which sink to purchase, you’ll need to determine where to purchase the sink from. among the deciding factors can occasionally be what warrantee each company is prepared to provide. always do your research to find a reputable company, and try to ensure that the organization features a good reputation within the and they’ve positive reviews. the beige shower. this type of shower uses alcove shower directly the ceiling while the complete bathroom walls are covered with beige walls using large granite looking tiles and a stone slab with an under mount sink and cabinets attached on the side of the sink. the shower area is going to be covered with curtains and a glass door to enhance the beauty of the shower.

Our company helps you find freelance FEA services on demand.
Do you need to run your designs through finite element analysis (FEA)? If you do, you’ll want to get the help of skillful and knowledgeable freelancers who are proficient in this method and will complete your required analyses in no time. Fortunately, there’s no need to look far since you can easily find the right people to hire here at Cad Crowd. We have a large team of FEA freelancers from all over the globe and can provide you with quality finite element analyses and other related solutions.
FEA stands out from other analytical methods in that it divides the problem into smaller components, which are called finite elements. Using advanced tools our freelancers will then analyze the finite element and come up with an equation to solve the issue. The equation is then applied to the entire problem so engineers can develop the right solution.
Why is this important? Basically, finite element analysis makes it possible for computers to analyze different parts or areas of a certain product or structure without overloading it. Ideally, when checking the overall design of a machine component or a building, each individual atom would be analyzed to know if it can handle the physical forces that it will encounter in real life. Obviously, we can't actually get that level of resolution in real life, but FEA provides a solution.
FEA solve this dilemma by digitally breaking down the object into smaller pieces. Obviously, the analyses won’t be done on an atomic level, but the process still gives engineers the chance to check different areas on the product or building, find out how they respond to stress, heat, vibration, and other forces, and see if the design needs to be improved.
Cad Crowd’s freelance FEA experts use the latest software to work on our clients’ projects. These include Femap, CalculiX, DIANA FEA, Abaqus, HyperMesh, and ADINA. Our freelancers are proficient in these programs, which means they have access to the best tools and features and will use them to finish your project within the shortest possible time. You also have the assurance that your freelancer can work on your project using the software of your choice.
Finite element software can not only analyze your design. It can also be used to visualize the results of the analysis so you’ll easily identify the problem areas and determine how to fix them. You’ll also see which areas have the best structure in terms of heat transfer, fluid flow, and other factors, and you can replicate their configuration in other parts of your product or building to improve its overall design.
If you’re ready to start your project, simply send the details of the project to Cad Crowd. We’ll connect you with a pre-vetted freelancer who’s an expert in finite element analysis and has the right skills and experience to finish your project on time. Our in-house quality staff will review his work for accuracy and quality before it’s submitted to you to ensure it meets our standards and exceeds your expectations.
Call us today to get a free quote for your project or learn more about our FEA services.

This was a priority for them given the communal lifestyle of the people which entails the usage of a common communal toilet. Usually, the toilets are designed with two logs of wood placed side by side on a valley. People squat on it to easy themselves. Not only this, there has been a lot of cases of cholera outbreak in the community due to the rains washing the excreta to the stream.The stench that comes out from that place is so pungent that it pollutes the entire community and anyone entering the community will definitely perceive the foul odor.
With the completion of the project, the community now has properly demarcated modern VIP toilet facilities. This has in no small measure promoted sanitary condition in the community as well as reduced the air pollution in the community.

Sailors who braved the threat of missile attack to protect merchant ships in the Middle East will be awarded a new medal clasp, it has today been announced.
Her Majesty The Queen has agreed a new clasp, the Gulf of Aden Clasp, will be introduced for those who served on board Type 45 destroyer HMS Daring during a period of significant threat in the Bab al-Mandeb strait in 2016.
The intense mission began after an attack on a merchant vessel, the MV Swift, off the coast of Yemen in October 2016. Portsmouth-based HMS Daring was already headed to the area at the start of a nine-month deployment on maritime security operations.
The destroyer and her 260-strong crew then conducted 20 patrols of the area threatened by land-based missiles and explosive boats in the hands of Houthi rebels. With the ship’s advanced surveillance radar and Sea Viper missile system, they ensured the critical choke point for world trade remained free flowing.
Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson said: “Maritime trade is the lifeblood of Britain’s economy and the Royal Navy plays a key role in protecting important trade routes. The extraordinary achievements of HMS Daring’s ship’s company, under constant missile threat, is a testament to the skill and bravery of the men and women of the Navy.
HMS Daring’s crew operated for 50 days under threat of attack, safeguarding 800,000 tonnes of merchant shipping. Each transit of the chokepoint was conducted at the highest degree of readiness.
Sailors and Royal Marines who were on board at the time will be awarded the clasp, which is worn with the General Service Medal, later this year. Those who do not already possess the medal will be awarded it.
Commander Phil Dennis, who was the Commanding Officer of HMS Daring at the time of the operation, said: “This is wonderful recognition of the immense efforts of my team in HMS Daring during such a vital mission which ultimately helped protect Britain’s economy and safeguard world trade.
“There was a significant and viable threat from both surface and air attack at the time, but throughout that threat my team performed brilliantly, calling upon their world-class training to rise to the challenge.
Around 95 per cent of Britain’s economic activity depends upon the sea and a vast amount of global trade passes through the choke point of the Bab al-Mandeb strait.
After passing east of the Suez Canal, Daring first escorted the Royal Navy’s Joint Expeditionary Force task group. As well as providing air defence, Daring helped protect the task group’s ships from the threat of waterborne attack, carrying Royal Navy and Royal Marines boarding parties to counter piracy, terrorists and smugglers.
She later accompanied the significant amount of merchant shipping through the narrow lanes of the southern Red Sea and Bab al-Mandeb strait.
Several other Royal Navy ships have since maintained patrols and maritime security duties in the region since the threat has de-escalated.
Leading Chef Chloe Toussaint, who served on board HMS Daring as a chef and first aider, said: “I am chuffed to be awarded a medal for my work on this deployment, and it is good that the ship’s company are being recognised for our hard work.
“We spent some very long days at action stations, and the job of us as chefs is to ensure the ship’s company is fed but we also act as medics when at action stations. I enjoyed the deployment. It was a long nine months but was very rewarding. There were some tears on the jetty when we arrived home in Portsmouth as seeing our friends and families again was such a relief.
Type 45 destroyers are part of the backbone of the Royal Navy, defending the fleet from air attack with their state-of-the-art equipment. They will form a vital component of the UK’s carrier strike task force when HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Prince of Wales begin their operational deployments.
Earlier this month, Daring’s sister ship HMS Diamond was called up on to monitor the movements of two Russian warships as they passed through the English Channel.
A Commando who inspired England to reach the World Cup semi finals and the crew of HMS Daring who braved ‘missile alley’ were singled out at this year’s Millies.

Blue Planet was recognized as the “SDN Technology of the Year” at the Informa Network Virtualization and SDN World Conference in London.
If you listen to the pundits and incumbent hardware vendors, they will tell you that SDN and it’s use in the network is years away, because “the network is too complex to virtualize or orchestrate.” KVH has proven otherwise.
Orchestration is about leveraging a dynamic and distributed network and resource fabric to deliver services, connectivity, and applications to users, on-demand, and tailored to the scale specified. Orchestration brings together service-provider, cloud infrastructure and end-users together – in concert.
Is Carrier Ethernet Enough When Flying Through Clouds?
We know that Carrier Ethernet delivers both high-performance connectivity across the WAN and scalable, standardized, highly-reliable services with QoS and service management. As a result, Carrier Ethernet is the service of choice for many applications including enterprise business connectivity, content distribution, video, wireless backhaul, financial services, and more. But, as the network transforms to meet the world of mega data centers and cloud services, a question comes to mind. Is Carrier Ethernet enough?
Despite the industry focus over the past year being predominantly around the transformation of networks through virtualization (SDN and NFV), one of the primary challenges facing network operators today that can be solved with software-control has nothing to do with virtualization but rather something far less exciting; service automation and orchestration.
The ETSI NFV ISG celebrated its first birthday yesterday here in Malaga. The NFV working groups have gathered here in beautiful southern Spain for NFV#5 to continue moving the specifications forward, aligning the work across the various working groups and to begin discussions on the evolution of the ETSI NFV ISG.
Network Function Virtualization (NFV) helps operators run network functions on standard volume COTS hardware instead of purpose built hardware and leverages standard IT virtualization and cloud technologies to reduce total cost of operation and increase the service innovation and scale.
I’m writing this on the long trip home to California from Singapore, where Cyan had participated in the 6th annual Carrier Ethernet APAC Conference – the largest Ethernet event in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. This year the show was also co-located with “SDN & NFV Asia”, a new event highlighting the exciting opportunities that software-defined networking and network functions virtualization present to regional network operators. As most of us have noticed over the past year, it’s a growing trend for telecom-related conferences to add an emphasis on SDN/NFV in order to capitalize on the intense interest surrounding these disruptive, rapidly emerging technologies.
Amazon is one of those companies that does what they say. They recently completed their examination of SDN technologies and made their deployment decision moving away from vertically integrated, expensive systems in favor of standards-based systems and software.
I was at the ETSI NFV ISG (Industry Specification Group) meeting in Sunnyvale, CA a couple of weeks ago and it was exciting to see how quickly work on NFV has progressed. The inaugural meeting for the NFV ISG was held just 10 months ago in Sophia-Antipolis, France. Since then working-group members, operators and vendors alike, have collaborated and produced ISG-level specifications covering requirements, end-to-end-architecture, use-cases, and the framework for the recently announced proof-of-concepts.

despite the industry focus over the past year being predominantly around the transformation of networks through virtualization (sdn and nfv), one of the primary challenges facing network operators today that can be solved with software-control has nothing to do with virtualization but rather something far less exciting; service automation and orchestration.
the etsi nfv isg celebrated its first birthday yesterday here in malaga. the nfv working groups have gathered here in beautiful southern spain for nfv#5 to continue moving the specifications forward, aligning the work across the various working groups and to begin discussions on the evolution of the etsi nfv isg.
network function virtualization (nfv) helps operators run network functions on standard volume cots hardware instead of purpose built hardware and leverages standard it virtualization and cloud technologies to reduce total cost of operation and increase the service innovation and scale.
i’m writing this on the long trip home to california from singapore, where cyan had participated in the 6th annual carrier ethernet apac conference – the largest ethernet event in the asia-pacific (apac) region. this year the show was also co-located with “sdn & nfv asia”, a new event highlighting the exciting opportunities that software-defined networking and network functions virtualization present to regional network operators. as most of us have noticed over the past year, it’s a growing trend for telecom-related conferences to add an emphasis on sdn/nfv in order to capitalize on the intense interest surrounding these disruptive, rapidly emerging technologies.
amazon is one of those companies that does what they say. they recently completed their examination of sdn technologies and made their deployment decision moving away from vertically integrated, expensive systems in favor of standards-based systems and software.
i was at the etsi nfv isg (industry specification group) meeting in sunnyvale, ca a couple of weeks ago and it was exciting to see how quickly work on nfv has progressed. the inaugural meeting for the nfv isg was held just 10 months ago in sophia-antipolis, france. since then working-group members, operators and vendors alike, have collaborated and produced isg-level specifications covering requirements, end-to-end-architecture, use-cases, and the framework for the recently announced proof-of-concepts.

This is the first male presence in #POEE Interview and it’s with a very special Bulgarian. After many years abroad, Plamen Ivanov came back to Eastern Europe because he believes in our culture and would like to contribute to its popularization around the world. That’s why he founded Insaiders https://www.insaiders.com/– a space where locals and tourists can come together for a memorable, valuable experience.
My name is Plamen, I am a passionate adventurer, purpose-driven entrepreneur, moderate optimist, just a guy who wants to leave a positive footprint in the community and people’s lives.
A beautiful land, inhabited by authentic people, with a rich history, culture, and traditions.
– You spent many years abroad. Were you ever treated differently due to being from Eastern Europe? And if it did happen – where was it most obvious?
Yes, I lived abroad for 15 years and in several different countries. When meeting new people, it very much depends on whether or not they already have friends from Eastern Europe. Those that haven’t really been around Eastern Europeans are usually a bit taken aback at the beginning. However, if they already know people from our region, people tend to be very welcoming and you feel immediately accepted, no room for stereotypes there.
– Could you tell us about the most memorable example you have of what it’s like to be an Eastern European in the world?
We are all probably well aware of some of the more negative preconceptions that Westerners have about this part of Europe, due to our recent past. However, this has been changing lately, as globalization contributes to better understanding and acceptance. At the same time, it’s no reason to neglect our values, customs, and traditions, as they are what makes us culturally unique. I believe in preserving our authenticity. It is something we should take great pride in.
– You came back to Bulgaria because you wanted to contribute to popularizing our culture. Tell us about your project Insaiders.
What brought me back to Bulgaria was my eagerness to contribute to the improvement of our culture’s image around the world. For years, I studied and worked in tourism, and right after I was able to travel around the world. Many of the people I met on the road knew nothing about Bulgaria. This experience inspired me to set a new goal for myself – help more people get to know our country. This is how the project “Insaiders” was born. Insaiders is a local, Bulgarian platform, where professionals from different fields, such as tour and mountain guides, folklore dancers and musicians, artists and craftsmen, chefs, etc., offer foreign visitors personalized local experiences. The idea is to create true cultural exchange, where our guests discover the country in a unique way.
– You and a friend of yours are about to set off on a bicycle trip around the country and meet some of the people who are passionate about preserving Bulgarian culture. How did you come up with the idea and what do you hope to achieve?
Emo and I met shortly after I returned to Bulgaria. Coincidently, he had also come back after years abroad and, just like me, wanted to help develop Bulgarian tourism. After visiting a few local events, we happened to meet adventurous travelers who went around the world in pursuit of bringing cultures together. We decided that we too are capable of something similar, be it at a smaller scale. And what’s better than touring our own country, showing everyone all the beautiful places tourists will love and Bulgarians should be proud of.
Another primary goal of this trip is to contribute to the development of sustainable tourism in Bulgaria, an objective each of us is already working on through his personal projects. That’s why we are organizing a series of events around the country. Hopefully, we’ll gather together a community based on cooperation, entrepreneurship, and the development of creative ideas in the sector.
– Are there things which distinguish People of Eastern Europe from the rest of the world?
Given its strategic position, a crossroads between Europe and Asia, Eastern Europe and especially the Balkan Peninsula, has been inhabited by tribes of various origins, throughout the centuries. Each of these cultures has left a lasting footprint in our traditions, customs, cuisine, folklore, our way of life and relationships. I believe that we stand out because of our distinguished hospitality, family values, and strong adherence to century-old traditions.
– What can we do to feel prouder of our Eastern European origins?
It seems to me that we Eastern Europeans are proud of our history and origins. However, at the same time, they often fall prey to political propaganda. It would be much wiser to accept the past as it is. No one can change history, but it is important to learn from past mistakes and not repeat them.
– An important component of your idea is to introduce foreigners to Bulgarian culture. Have you noticed what gets them by surprise when they first visit Eastern Europe?
How well our cultural heritage has been preserved and our unspoiled wilderness. In the West, many touristy places are suffering commercial exploitation, and so they’ve lost their authenticity. It’s been happening here as well, despite the smaller scale. Our foreign guests are also usually impressed with our rich cuisine full of variety, our unique folklore, the preserved crafts, and our distinguished hospitality.
– How can we raise awareness about our culture, around the world?
Lately, we have seen a spike in foreign curiosity when it comes to festivals that exhibit Eastern European customs and traditions. For instance, the Nestinarstvo festivities, festivals dedicated to traditional products such as the Bulgarian rose and yogurt, folk festivals and celebrations, just to name a few. But should we limit ourselves to events held within the country or region?
Everywhere around the world there are communities of Bulgarians and other Eastern Europeans. Each of us is an ambassador of his/her own culture anywhere that he/she happens to live. In the places where I’ve lived, there have been plenty of festivities in celebration of foreign communities and their traditions, especially during their national holidays. Apart from the preservation of regional culture, these events spike interest in others and help bring people together through cultural exchange. There are simpler ways to do it as well, such as inviting friends over for an international dinner. Or why not invite foreign friends to Bulgaria whenever a traditional holiday is going on?
– Let’s end the interview with something from the heart.
We live in a fast-paced world where change is the only constant. In order to adapt, we must be flexible and tolerant. I also believe that variety holds the key to rich human nature. That’s why it is so important to preserve our authenticity and share it proudly.
Have you had an experience similar to Plamen’s? Have you ever attended a cultural event that changed your perspective? Please share 🙂 Either leave a comment below or post in the Facebook group People of Eastern Europe (#POEE).

Apple is swerving all over the road with these ideas and acquisitions. They already knocked off their rear view mirrors AKA the iOS platform, then they lost their rims AKA Mac OS users.
Apple wants to know how people are sleeping "Peacefully" even after spending so much on their products.
