Alex Wagner is a data scientist at SeerAI. This is a start up that has produced Geodesic, a spatiotemporal data fusion platform. The discussion was triggered by a video 12 days ago from popular YouTuber Johnny Harris, "Why Saudi Arabia is Building a $1 Trillion City in the Desert". Alex responded on LinkedIn with an animation of all evidence of construction activity at Neom since 2023. This was a perfect accompaniment to a conversation thread over the past two episodes with Valrie Grant and Jordan Regenie. Across these two episodes I have raised the issue of human rights abuses on Neom related to land ownership. The first time I did it was with Valrie, who is the deputy chair of a UN body - the private sector network of the UN's council of experts on global geospatial information management. Noting that Jordan has a law degree and that I am a new migrant to the US, I took the opportunity to discuss the first amendment with him in the context of whistle blowing about Neom. Both conversations were useful in building up a picture of how I am going to respond as a Geographic Information Systems Professional (GISP) certification holder. I started by gaining the awareness of someone associated with the world's peak human rights body, the UN. I continued with understanding my rights regarding speech to do with this circumstance in the world's largest economy, the US. Now I am continuing the conversation here by looking at how geospatial analysis can assist in understanding the whole affair. It is good that this can occur in the context of what one of the most popular map related YouTubers recently had to say about the project. Overall it shows how dynamic insightful our industry is. This conversation highlights how we have a global bench of talent independently researching and responding to the world as it happens. THE GEOSPATIAL INDEX The Geospatial Index is a comprehensive listing of all publicly traded geospatial businesses worldwide. Why? The industry is growing at ~5.4% annually (after inflation and after adjusting for base rates). This rate varies significantly, however, by sub index. For ~$400,000 to start, this growth rate is $5,000,000 over a working life. This channel, Bluesky account, newsletter, watchlist and podcast express the view that you are serious about geospatial if you take the view of an investor, venture capitalist or entrepreneur. You are expected to do your own research. This is not a replacement for that. This is not investment advice. Consider it entertainment.

In this episode I visit Gregg Fleishman's studio in Los Angeles a few weeks after our trip to Thailand together to build some of his structures for Wonderfruit Festival. Gregg began his journey in architectural design in the concrete industry in the 1970's and has since developed his work into massive 3D geometric puzzle pieces of wood. Now his work has been highlighted at Burning Man - even building the temple of 2007, Lucidity Festival, Wonderfruit Festival, and more. His genius is evident in his endless designs for joinery and nodal mechanisms as his work is free of any metal, screws, or nails. All pieces fit together very specifically. Yet this is also why the structures are so user friendly - if you know the order of operations.

Sometimes a good idea doesn't pan out in real life. Take Buckminster Fuller's geodesic dome: It requires less energy to heat and cool, it's cheap, and it's durable enough to withstand a hurricane – but it's also godawful ugly and that was its undoing.

If we deny the existence of infinity, does math still work? (Send feeback to erik@mathmutation.com)
Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.01.29.526048v1?rss=1 Authors: Horibe, K., Taga, G., Fujimoto, K. Abstract: Association fibers connect different areas of the cerebral cortex over long distances and integrate information to achieve higher brain functions, particularly in humans. Prototyped association fibers are developed to the respective tangential direction throughout the cerebral hemispheres in the subplate layer during the fetal period. However, the directional guidance principle for forming association fibers is unknown. Because the subplate is located below the cortical surface, the tangential direction of the fibers may be biased by the curved surface geometry due to Sylvian fissure and cortical poles. The fiber length can be minimized if the tracts follow the shortest paths (geodesics) of the curved cortical surface. Here, we propose and examine a theory that geodesics guide the tangential direction of long association fibers by analyzing how geodesics are spatially distributed on the fetal human brains. Unlike the homogeneous distribution on spherical surfaces, we found that the geodesics were dense on the saddle-shaped surface of the perisylvian region and sparse on the dome-shaped cortical poles. The geodesics corresponded with the positions of five typical association fibers, supporting the geodesic theory. Thus, the geodesic theory provides directional guidance and suggests that long association fibers emerge from minimizing their tangential length on fetal brains.

Falling through a curve —Sum total of all forces…Zen's “total function”!* * *In this segment we will return our attention back to the more personal sphere of meditation practice. Beyond any consideration of what unlikely intersections we may find between Design thinking and the complex ethical and political issues of our times — other than personal solutions that may help mitigate the worst consequences of the seemingly incompetent or malicious intentions on the part of the powers that be — the deeper implications of some of the most advanced Design thinking and their association with Zen may not be readily apparent. One such example would be the Geodesic geometry of R. Buckminster Fuller, one of my many mentors. In case you are unfamiliar with it, a bit of background.Bucky and his students started out exploring what would become a new branch of geometry by modeling what he called the “closest-packing” of spheres, in the form of ping pong balls or cast acrylic spheres, stacking and gluing them in various configurations. Spheres are the closest approximation to a point in space, having the same radius in all directions, and stand as reasonable analogies to atoms in a molecular structure, or molecules in the structure of the periodic table of elements, as the familiar stick-and-ball models representing the geometry or shape of microscopic components, such as DNA.To illustrate the two simplest versions, imagine holding three balls in the palm of one hand, where they will nest and form a triangle. Then place a fourth ball on top, and you have a tetrahedron. This is the first and simplest geometrical solid that divides space into inside and outside, the technical engineering definition of a “system” according to Fuller. Theoretically, any system of whatever complexity can be reduced to four major components, or subsystems. If you can define the four major divisions, and describe their six connections — the edges of the tetrahedron — it can be said that you “understand” or comprehend that particular system, or so Bucky asserts.So the tetrahedron is the shape that represents the first level of closest packing of molecules, or any other singular entities, with a void at the center. The second example starts with a single sphere at the center, packing one layer around it. Surprisingly, the classic solid that results is the rhombi-cube-icosahedron, the unique solid that Bucky referred to as the “vector equilibrium.” Its surface planes consist of alternating triangles and squares, six of the latter and eight of the former. He called it a vector equilibrium because the tensional vectors, representing the outer edges of the surface, are exactly balanced by the compressive vectors, meaning the connections between the outer vertices and the central sphere. Interpreted as vectors, as in a soap bubble, they are in equilibrium, represented by the distance between all points being the same.I think the connection to Zen practice is pretty obvious, as our seated meditation posture, zazen, is basically a tetrahedron, especially when we brace ourselves by placing our hands on our knees. The arms complete the six edges of the tetrahedron. Similarly, the 12-pointed model of the rhombi-cube-icosahedron is the model for Buddhism's Twelvefold Chain of Interdependent Origination, with the 13th point being the center. I have used this geometry as semantic models of the main teachings of Buddhism (See Fig. 1). But how does Fuller's geodesic geometry reflect Design thinking?Fuller's first application of geodesic design thinking was in the form of a map of the earth. The geodesic domes came much later. In this design, the continents are laid out on a triangular grid, called a tessellation, that allows the two-dimensional flat projection to be folded into a three-dimensional solid that represents the globe. (See Fig. 2) The outlines of continents and oceans are projected from the center of the Earth rather than from outside, like the familiar Mercator projection. Compared to that standard, this approach distributes the distortion in the projection evenly to every triangle, rather than exaggerating it depending on how far away the area is from the center. A second advantage is that the flattened map can represent a one-continent map as illustrated, or unfolded a different way, a one-ocean map, with the continents at the edges.The question may arise, what is the design intent underlying this exercise? What would be the point in designing another kind of world map? Bucky was interested in precision in communication. It bothered him that scientists, who know better, would still refer to the sun as “rising” and “setting.” Far from picking nits, for Fuller these lazy tropes continue to reinforce ignorant conceptions of reality. It bothered him that the maps we were using distorted our perception of the interconnectedness of the world. You may argue that looking at a globe provides the same data — that is, accurate distances between points of interest — but this ignores the fact that you can see only one side of the map in 3D representation. It is more difficult to think and conceive in three dimensions, as the increased level of difficulty of three-dimensional chess illustrates. We tend to miss obscure connections, such as that the Japanese might fly over the North Pole to attack Pearl Harbor, the shortest distance from a world-around perspective.Zen and Design thinking share this premise: that we are limited mainly by self-imposed strictures and ways of thinking, adopted from the cultural memes and worldviews of our community, parents and peers. Breaking out of these constraints is common to the mission of Design as well as that of Zen. The seminal teachings of Buddha himself were basically correctives to the received wisdom of the time. He would welcome these challenges to conventional thinking.In fact one could argue that the foundational premise of Zen is that there is something missing in our apprehension of reality. Matsuoka Roshi would often say that people go through life with this sense of “something missing.” They don't know what it is, to belabor the obvious, but they definitely know that it is missing. They come to Zen to find it. This “IT” is the big carrot that Zen and other insight-based endeavors dangle to attract sincere students of the Way. It is the “that” of suchness, in Japanese inmo, the ineffable realization of Buddha's wisdom, to quote Master Dogen's definition of the meaning of zazen. The implication is that our present “normal” awareness is limited by dualistic thinking, or in the worst case scenario, limited to dualistic thinking. Only you know for sure.What is your worldview, exactly and in detail? How can you mount challenges to it? Bucky modified his worldview via the empirical scientific method — studying particular case experiences and deriving general principles therefrom — his definition of the standard operating procedure of human intelligence, itself. We can hopefully achieve higher approximations to reality by relinquishing the choke-hold that dualistic thinking has on our perception. In Zen, the way to that eventuality is zazen. Ride the cushion into that geodesic reality.* * *Elliston Roshi is guiding teacher of the Atlanta Soto Zen Center and abbot of the Silent Thunder Order.

Thursday, December 23, 2021, 12 noon WPKN 89.5 FM www.wpkn.org Host: Duo Dickinson 2021 is ending. Perhaps we sense that the 20th century is (finally) ending, too. In any event, the growing hours of daylight trigger the future thoughts of the entire biosphere. HOME PAGE is no different. The home is uniquely human in its presence and projection in our lives. Geodesic domes, concrete houses, buried homes, the now oddly dated “Smart Home” are just some of the ways we visioned how our homes would change. But what we build almost never follows the leaders of taste and futurism: the drumbeat of “bigger” has been louder in the Housing Boom of today, while the salvation of “density” now has an asterisk in our expectation as the latest variant makes distance fonder in our apprehension. Whither the Home Of The Future? How will we think about how we live in the near and far futures this weird time continually challenges us to apprehend? HOME PAGE has three incredible guests, from Canada, Europe and the wilds of Boston to give their visions on how and why homes will or might change.

Intuition trusts what must eventually be verified thereby validating the discovery, which in turn induces further discoveries. The discoveries are self discoveries related to awareness of self and otherness trusting the initiating source of intuition's attraction to the mind of its genius. The mind of the inspired intuitive indirect invitation as a seemingly essential inducement attracts the inquisitive attention of the trusting searcher, as true for the inventive genius of the researching, experiential-experimental intellect's wellspring of knowledge is of the eternal omniscient mind's Universe. The eternal omniscient mind's Universe is both metaphysical and physical. The truth of this is not widely known throughout the world of information dissemination that has been transmitting information for thousands of years between and among humans in cultures that derive the customs, beliefs, mores and all manner of behavior to every degree of the human personalities each person uniquely owns. The uniquely individual personality because of predominantly overwhelming, overbearing cultivated authorities that over time grew less curious and more self other constraining is observing the manifest forms in its immediate surrounding, protecting, to the best of its innate ability, the inherently inviolable integrity of its individuality. The individual cannot be duplicated, replicated, copied because it is original. That's what individuality is, like none other.READ THE ENTIRE TRANSCRIPT. Relevant links are included therein.

TRADE SHOWS FROM ONE COUNTRY TO THE NEXT - SECOND EDITION by Larry Kulchawik "Trade Shows from One Country to the Next" delves into international marketing, with a focus specifically on global trade show differences and distinctions. Rather than concentrate on details about marketing per se, this book focuses on the needed adjustments-mental, physically and otherwise-when marketing a product/service through tradeshows from one country to the next. Although dedicated to trade show exhibit architecture and behavior, much of the information contained in this book also speaks to effective communication skills required when spending a week or less marketing a product in a foreign country. After forty-three years in the international trade show arena, the author shares his thoughts and the comments obtained from world-wide experts in the countries outlined. No one person or company is the expert everywhere in the world. There is no right way or wrong way-there is only a different way. This book will appeal to not only exhibit managers, show organizers, venues, and exhibit suppliers, but to those who market anything on a global scale. Effective communication is key! Larry Kulchawik has dedicated his entire career to exhibit design at trade shows internationally. His recent book, "Trade Shows from One Country to the Next" he outlines venues, regulations, exhibit styles, and cultural differences when exhibiting in 45 different countries. The books theme...There is no right way, there is no wrong way, there is only a different way. Know and respect what is different to reach success through trade shows, or any other form of face to face communication to promote a product or service internationally. While earning a degree in Design at Southern Illinois University, Larry Kulchawik had the privilege to study under Buckminster Fuller. Geodesic domes and Spaceship Earth concept influenced his thinking in so many ways he never thought to be relevant at the time. Starting as an exhibit designer, Kulchawik has spent his entire career in the exhibit industry for the past 43 years. He has worked for three of the leading exhibit companies in the USA in management and sales with a focus on international trade show marketing. He served on the boards of many industry associations (CEIR,OSPI, WTC) and as president for IFES (International Federation of Exposition Services) and EDPA (Exhibit Designer and Producers Association). As president of EDPA he assisted to launch the first masters degree program in exhibit design at FIT/NYC, and led a task force to create UL2301- Standards for Safety when building trade show exhibits with Underwriters Laboratory. He has been awarded two of the industries highest honors- the Hazel Hays Award (EDPA), and the Roger Taurant Award (IFES) for his contributions to the exhibit industry. His book has earned two Gold Awards from MarCom 2016, and Hermes 2017 for creative marketing in the book category. “At this stage of my life I wish to give back and share international experiences and uncover this exciting career we call trade show marketing. Being involved with IFES ( Global exhibit suppliers from 44 countries) I have met many trusted suppliers I consider friends and partners. They are each the source of knowledge and understanding for effective global marketing. Recalculating your thinking when exhibiting from one country to the next is key to achieving sales success in each country. The theme of the book- there is no right way, there is no wrong way, there is only a different way. Being sensitive, and recognizing what is different, and why, will insure success and will keep you from unexpected surprises.”. Connecting the world with a shared sensitivity about face to face business communication will cultivate our mutual desires for positive branding and increased sales in a global market.” The world of international trade as we know it is rapidly changing. https://www.amazon.com/Trade-Shows-One-Country-Next/dp/1681393336/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1619196132&sr=8-1 http://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/lkulchawikec.mp3

In this episode, I am highlighting the interdisciplinary work of Buckminster Fuller and his emphasis on whole systems design. His approach of doing more with less has had a huge impact on folks both within and outside of Permaculture Design practice - including myself long before I heard the word Permaculture, I learned about Bucky Fuller, Geodesic domes, the Whole Earth Catalog and the whole systems design movement of the early & mid 20th Century. I also really identified with his discipline of learning for oneself, from direct experience - He states that "man must learn to think for himself, rather than follow blindly what he has been taught." I hope enjoy another show digging into the roots of Permaculture...

Welcome! For being locked down do to this Pandemic there is certainly a lot of technology in the news this week. So let's get into it. President Trump issued an Executive Order to protect our Electric Grid from using equipment not manufactured in the US, Microsoft Teams is under attack, Phishing and Ransomware are in the News and What will Post-COVID Business look like? So sit back and listen in. For more tech tips, news, and updates visit - CraigPeterson.com --- Automated Machine Generated Transcript: Craig Peterson: Hey everybody, welcome Craig Peterson here on WGAN. It is quite a week. I just can't believe how fast time is going. So many people are at home with nothing much to do, they're watching Netflix, et cetera, and I am busier than ever just trying to help people out and I'm going to be doing more free training and stuff over the next couple of weeks. Now I've just been so, so busy. I don't know if you've heard any of my features here on the radio station. They're supposed to have started airing, I guess we'll see if they do air, but I'm putting together these kinds of filler things that are a couple of minutes long. The whole idea behind them is to really help. People with just various technology issues. You know, me, I'm focusing on security because that is what seems to be lacking the most, and especially when we're seeing what we're seeing right [00:01:00] now, which is all kinds of people. Just getting everything stolen from them. It Is crazy what's happening. You know, we're all working at home right now to some degree. Many of us, obviously you still have to go in and. You know, in foodservice and manufacturing, et cetera. But even with that, the bosses aren't necessarily all there. Some people are getting sick and are staying at home for very good reasons. I think we'll see more of that in the future. Someone gets sick instead of the old American worth work ethic of going in and getting everybody else sick. I think we're going to see a lot more of the, Hey, I'm going to stay home because I'm not feeling well. This is going to be interesting because so many companies have these sick policies, sick day policies that I've never liked particularly. I think some of those will change too, but what is going to happen here in our post-COVID world, right? We've got this COVID-19 of [00:02:00] course the Wuhan virus causes the disease. it's also called, what is it, C O V I D SARS-2? Remember SAR. SARS had a much, much higher death rate than COVID-19 is turning out to have. But there are many, many people that have this. And we've seen some statistics now coming out saying that even people that are staying home, this one hospital this week did some, a little bit of research and found that 60% of their patients had quarantined in themselves at home. Now that tells you something too. We, we still don't know enough about this whole WuHan virus and the diseases that it might cause. Some of the symptoms we kind of know, obviously when it comes to respiratory problems, is an acute respiratory disease, which is what SARS is. Yeah, we know the basics of that, but man, the stuff we've been hearing about people having circulation problems, having legs amputated, even people who are [00:03:00] in good shape, you know, I hate to see it, but I can understand a diabetic having problems, right. And maybe ultimately having a leg amputated because of circulatory problems that come with diabetes or circulatory problems that come with being morbidly obese or even just obese. Those all kind of make sense to me, but. I don't know there's just so much we don't know. One of the things we're trying to figure out is what does the business looks like? What is going to happen? And there's a great article that came out in the computer world just this last week that is talking about telecommuting. I think it's really kind of an interesting thing because what we're talking about is a disease that's going to be affecting us probably for the next 18 months to two years now. I don't mean like the whole country or world is shut down for that period of time. Obviously that would be catastrophic to everyone. We would have people dying of starvation if that were to happen, but what I'm talking about is really kind of like what happened with the Spanish flu. You know, every last one of us has had that flu that happened in 1918 and unless you've been an absolute hermit that I've never had any food, you didn't grow, et cetera, right? It just sticks around. And that's going to happen with his WuHan virus. Well, it is going to be around forever, frankly, now that it's been thrust upon us, however, that came to be. Depending on whether or not we've got a vaccine. We've got some really good treatment when they're in place. That's really going to be the point where we try and get back to usual. I don't know. It's so many businesses are doing layoffs. One of my sons. His boss was just furloughed and a couple of his team members were furloughed. He's [00:05:00] kind of low end to management. He has a team that he supervises, and so the supervisor, one of the supervisors of the team supervisors got laid off. So when the business gets back going again, are they still going to have that extra layer of management in the middle? I don't think so. And some of these team members that were laid off are not necessary, you know, not, not talking about my son here, but just in general. But some of these team members that have been laid off in businesses are not necessarily the best of employees. So what does that mean? The owners and executives and businesses are going to have to find themselves running businesses in very different ways. I talked this week a little bit with Matt. Of course, I'm on the radio pretty much every morning during the week on different stations, but I was talking about what is [00:06:00] happening. What are we looking at? Where's this going? And one of the things that came up was, Hey, listen, we have these executives at the C-level. We have all of these people down, the front end, is that going to change the way most businesses work? And obviously I think the answer to that is yes, right? Absolutely. Yes. The vast majority of the burden to put together these new businesses and new operations is going to fall to the people in information technology. That's exactly what we are doing. So we've got to have it, executives, starting to talk about what does the business look like going forward? What should they be doing? How can they have an infrastructure that works for the employees and that is safe and secure because the bad guys have [00:07:00] redoubled their efforts and there are so many opportunities to them now because there are fewer eyes watching everything? Right now. Working from home is a term. That many people are using. And frankly, if you want to guarantee that the business change is going to fail, maybe you just call it working from home. Telecommuting on a corporate basis can work, but that's not everybody. That's not where we're all going to be here when we're talking about these multibillion-dollar companies. Barely any of them had true corporate work at home or telecommuting pre-COVID-19 now, some of them did in some cases, but frankly, the big distinction between work from home and corporate telecommuting is that [00:08:00] they thought work at home was an occasional thing for convenience. So, or you're not feeling well today. There's a blizzard, there's a big storm out there, or there's a power outage at the main office because they're, they're doing some construction. Some businesses also said, Hey, listen, every Friday during the summer, you know, you want to stay home once a month or whatever, just go ahead and do it and work from home. That's not corporate telecommuting. Telecommuting is where the employee or the contractor, these people who are working on a gig basis are based at the remote location full time. Now I've talked a bit about the gig economy. And gig workers before on this show, and I've talked about it many times on, on the radio and TV, but in case you don't know what that is, the gig economy is a major change. We started to see a few years ago where people, particularly businesses, were looking and saying, Hey, listen, we don't need to have all of these people on the payroll. Because in reality, this job is part-time. So why would we pay someone full time when it's a part-time job? And why would I have one person working at it when I could have three, four, or five people working at it when necessary. So all of a sudden there's an uptick in my business. Instead of having to try and find someone else, hire someone else, bring them in or, or turn down the work because I can't possibly handle it because I only have this one person who was part-time before. What we ended up doing is saying, Hey, How bout we just find people to do this one narrow thing, and the more narrowly the task can be defined, the better of the businesses because the cost goes down. [00:10:00] The more complex a task is, the more expensive it is. And you look at something like Amazon Mechanical Turk in case you're not familiar with that service. Amazon has, there are people who maybe some of you guys are doing this, who sit there and do very small, very narrow tasks for typically a fixed price. So it might be, get me the phone number and name of this doctor in this town. And you're paid a penny or whatever, 5 cents for doing that very, very narrow task. So they can go ahead and they have someone else saying, find me the name of all of the doctors that meet this criterion in this town and get me their names, their phone numbers, and their addresses. Much, much cheaper to break all of that down to the business. So they're looking at things like Mechanical Turk, but they're also looking at sites like Fiverr, which I've [00:11:00] used before as well. F I V E R R.com and if you go to fiverr.com in fact, let me go there right now while we're talking, you can find people to do almost. Anything for you. It says right on their homepage here, find the perfect freelance services for your business. And most of these are very narrow tasks. And their original idea is you, you know, five bucks, they discharged five bucks for it. And, you know, isn't that. or more reasonable thing than having to have an employee and having to have all of the expenses involved. All right, so I'll stick around. I wanted to finish this up here. A little bit of wandering and meandering as we're talking about. What does the post-WuHan virus world look like in the business space? You're listening to Craig Peterson, on W G A N and online at Craig Peterson dot com. Craig Peterson: Hi guys. Craig Peterson here on WGAN and of course online at craigpeterson.com. We were talking before the break, a little bit about the post-Covid 19 world. And I started talking about the gig economy and what it really is, what does it really mean to us? And I was just talking about a website called fiverr.com which kind of defined the whole gig economy for a while, frankly, for a number of years. And now there are more sites out there as well. But really Fiverr is the place to go online. So they have things like design a logo. Customize your WordPress website, doing voiceover whiteboard work for people. SEO, which is search engine optimization, illustration, translation, data entry. Those are kind [00:01:00] of their top categories, and you can go there. You can find what people are doing, what they're offering, what's the best thing for you, for your business? What might you want to consider? If it is really quite good and there are a lot of true experts that are making there. Their talents available to businesses now it's not just five bucks to do something. Some of these are a lot more expensive and some go on an hourly basis and, and I've used a number of other websites in the past in order to get people to hire people to do things. Upwork is one of the other big ones. U P W O R K.com. Check that one out as well. Whether you're looking for help or you want to provide help and sell some help. But upwork.com is another good one that I've used. And in both cases, I can go and post something and say, Hey, this is what I'm interested in. Having done and people will bid on it [00:02:00] for you. Now, a little inside tip here you might not be aware of in that is if you want people to bid on it, they have to be aware of it, and the only way they're going to be aware of it usually is if you reach out to them. So you have to do a bunch of studying and research and advance so that you know who looks like they might fit for you, and then you have to send them an invite directly because most of these people, especially the good ones, are not sitting there just waiting for a general. Query to come in, Hey, I need somebody to do a logo. Now they don't pay attention to that because they are in demand. So you have to find the people that you want to do. For instance, your logo, whatever the work is. So you'll go online, you'll look around, you'll look at their samples, they've posted, you'll find a few people, and I've found usually in order to find somebody that's good. I have to reach out to as many as 50 five [00:03:00] zero people on these websites to get the attention of somebody I really want. So if you are top-rated, it's phenomenal. They have ratings like at Upwork they have really great ratings and stuff for who some of the better people are. It really helps you with your decision. So when we're talking about the future, it's not just telecommuting. Or you might have lost your job. So what do you do now? I know, for instance, one of our listeners here, Linda, she reached out to me and I helped her with some, or actually one of my techs helped her out with some of the problems she was having. because she has lost her business actually, I think it was, and she's trying to start another one by doing website evaluation. You know, that's a perfect opportunity for somebody. To go to Fiverr or Upwork and see if they can't dig up a little bit of work as well. Now when you're first starting out, you're going to have to look at [00:04:00] those main feeds and you're going to have to comb through them and approach people. And you'd probably have to do stuff for really cheap until you develop a reputation. Cause you have to have people giving you those five-star reviews. But it's going to take a little bit of time. Now, one of the big questions that come up is payroll taxes. And when we're talking about the gig economy, the IRS has a set of standards that are in place that help you evaluate whether someone should be treated as a contractor or if they should be treated as an employee. And there's quite a bit of IRS case law if you want to call it that, IRS rules and regulations that have come out of the IRS courts that are paid by the IRS and judges work for the IRS and they get to decide what's right or wrong with you, right? But, there have been a lot of cases that say, Hey, listen to, here's where the line is drawn between a [00:05:00] contractor that you can pay 1099 and somebody who's W2. And that line that we're talking about is, is not just, Hey, they're working at home. Yeah. They're working from home. Well, do you supervise them? Do you give them the work that needs to be done? Are you setting deadlines? Are you telling them what equipment or software to use? You know, you need to talk to your attorneys, reach out to your accountant to figure out what all of those rules are and how they apply to you. But it, this adds yet another little twist to it. You know, it's one thing if you have just this limited task and you hire them once to do the task, like, okay, I need a logo design, or I need to have this changed on my website, or. Whatever it might be, and that's all well and good and that probably fits the contractor definition. Probably don't even have to 1099 them if you're using one of these sites like Fiverr or [00:06:00] Upwork because they're going to take care of it for you. Some of these sites will do tax withholdings for people and there's a lot of things they'll do, but where they are living also now. Will it affect your payroll taxes? So let's say that you're going to keep people on as employees and your businesses in New Hampshire, but they're living or switch it around here cause it doesn't work for New Hampshire. Right? But let's say they're living in a different state with a different tax jurisdiction. And you are your businesses in a state that has income tax provisions. I know in the Northeast we have some agreements between the States because of, of course, New Hampshire has no income tax and they're the ones that are always used for these things. But, there was an agreement between the state saying, Hey, listen, if they live in mass, you have to pay mass taxes. If you live in New Hampshire and you work in mass, you have to pay mass taxes. If you never ever stepped foot in mass, you have to pay mass. No, you don't. But did you see what happened in New York where? The governor of New York has come out and said, Oh yeah, by the way, all of you people that volunteered your time, if you stayed in New York for more than two weeks, you need to pay us income tax even though you were a volunteer. It just gets crazy. Right? So how do you keep track of all these jurisdictions? And if you're hiring people that live in some other state, they're in Illinois, they're in California, they're in one of these blue States that has crazy regulations and high taxes. Now you have to worry about all of that sort of stuff. Okay. It is really going to be difficult. The employee's home is in Atlanta. The company needs to treat that is an Atlanta office or Bureau in every way. If what's the legal [00:08:00] nexus? I've seen cases where just having a phone number from a state was enough to say, yeah, you are a resident of that state. It's really kind of crazy and not just a resident. I'm talking about businesses here. You have a business nexus there, so you have an Atlanta phone number and you don't have an office there, et cetera, but somebody answers that phone. Even if it's not in Georgia, you could get nailed you. Do you see what I'm talking about? This is absolutely going to be a huge, huge different corporate telecommuting is going to just drive us all crazy. Frankly, and in some states, you have not just the state tax, but you have a County tax, you have a city tax, all kinds of different local taxes at different percentages. I remember I had some stuff going on in Washington state, and it was different [00:09:00] tax rates, even for sales tax. You've been on the County, you were in. It, it kind of gets crazy. So, you're going to have to change their tax status if they're doing a hundred percent of their work in that other jurisdiction. And I think that's going to end up being a problem for a lot of people. So keep, keep an eye on that one is, well, ultimately this is going to lead to I think, nothing but confusion. Anyways, we'll move on to another topic when we get back enough about all of the taxes and things you're going to have to worry about with people working from home. But boy, there are a lot, no time to let your guard down because of Corona fraud. Is a huge threat. And what's we'll talk about what those real-world threats are. So stick around. We'll be right back. You're listening to Craig Peterson on WGAN online, Craig peterson.com Craig Peterson: Hello everybody. Welcome back. Craig Peterson here, WGAN, and of course online at craigpeterson.com. Talking a little bit, of course, it is hard to avoid this, how it got into the post-COVID world out there. What does it really mean? We're just talking. In the above telecommuting and how it's really going to cause some stresses on businesses. And you know, we've already talked in weeks past about how it's going to help businesses with a number of different things, including helping them with their ability to cut costs on, on travel and office space, et cetera. But there are a lot of other things to consider as you just went over. Oh, now we got to talk about what is happening to us at our homes and our businesses from, of course, the security side, because it's no time to let your guard down. Coronavirus fraud is a huge threat and it's been growing. We're seeing constant warnings about it from the FBI and from. These are various security companies that are out there. Certainly, we're getting all kinds of alerts from Microsoft and from also the Cisco people, but the scammers, the bad guys out there are just constantly reusing old ways of hacking us. And they're using scams that they've used forever as well. And that's part of the reason why I always talk about making sure you stay up to date. It's more important to stay up to date right today than it ever has been before. And scammers are rehashing. Some of these campaigns, kind of like the, remember the Nigerian [00:02:00] scams way back when? Some of those are back now in a bit of a different way. So we've got countries now, and of course, our States are starting to try and get a little bit back to normal here that got some paths to recovery. And in many cases, they're trying to get rid of some of these lockdown restrictions. But meanwhile, the crisis has brought out the worst in these con artists out there. And there's a great article by Ammar over at, we live security talking about some of this thing because. Really, they're exploiting every trick in their book when it comes to trying to defraud people. They've been trying to impersonate legitimate sources of information on a pandemic. We've talked about that where they'll send out an email saying, click here to look at this map of the pandemic, and there might be ads on that or might even be worse. Various types of spyware, obviously the that they're trying to put on there, but they're trying to defraud people and they've got also these fraudulent online marketplaces set up where they're offering deals on everything from hand sanitizer through toilet paper, eh, some of the masks and things. In fact, we just saw it was like a, what was it, $250 million, or maybe it was $25 million, refund from the Chinese for some state that had ordered some of these N95 masks that, that did not meet the standards. So. The scams are everywhere, and as I said, States are getting nailed in this as well. And the most popular, by the way, COVID 19 map. If you really want to see what's going on, you should go to Johns Hopkins University and there's a professor over there by the name of Lauren Gardner at civil and systems engineering, a professor who's working with some of her graduate students. To keep this up to date. So you can go there right now. and it says it's Coronavirus dot EDU, which is, of course, John Hopkins University, which is one of these teaching universities, that is a teaching hospital, but they're showing how many deaths globally, more than a quarter-million. Oh, almost what is getting close to 80,000 deaths in the United States. I also saw some really interesting numbers that were published this week in a scientific journal about how, you know, we're, we're looking at these number of deaths and we say, okay, 80,000 deaths, which is always horrific, but a. Normal flu year would get us what, 40,000 to [00:05:00] maybe 80,000 right? We had a really bad flu year a couple of years ago, but they delved into the statistics behind it. Now, this is where it's really kind of gets interesting because when you look at those statistics behind the normal. Flu, the flu pandemic, I guess they really are. it turns out that the statistics are heavily inflated and they, it's done because we don't track flu deaths like we're tracking the COVID 19 nowhere near as much detail. People that might have died of bacterial pneumonia in years past who were to be counted as a flu death. Now that is a bit of a problem. Right? So what do you do when you have these bad statistics? They're saying that some of these years where we reported 20,000 or more flu deaths, [00:06:00] actually may have been a thousand deaths in reality. So, Right. Any, anyway, so I'm kind of rambling a little bit here, but that brought it up when I was looking at this Johns Hopkins map here in front of me, how many people have died? How many people have recovered? It turns out that at this point that this COVID 19 flu is definitely more fatal. Then the normal flu season and the article I was reading in the journal were saying it could be as much as 44 times more fatal than an average flu year. Now that's really bad, isn't it? When you get right down to it, 44 times more fatal. but we don't know yet. Right. That's kind of a bottom line on all of this. We just really don't know and we're not going to know for a while. Anyways, back to it. [00:07:00] These maps, and I'm looking at a picture of one right now that was in, we live security.com, which is a map. It looks a lot like the John Hopkins map, and it probably is actually, and on top of that, it's got an ad for, you might need disposable coveralls with a hood protective suit. Now. Is this good? Is this not a good suit? They say, click on that to see it on Amazon. And Amazon certainly could have these for, for sale, but are they really sending you to Amazon or are they sending you to some other site out there? Right. What are they doing? They've got a live chat. They've set up. It's, it's really kind of amazing what the bad guys have done. They put a lot of work into this. The world health organization. you know, I don't know, the bigger, the higher up a government or non-governmental entity is in the food chain, [00:08:00] the less I like them, but they do have their own dashboard showing you what they think is going on. With the Coronavirus, so you'll find them at who dot I N T, which is the world health organization international, and they've got a big warning right on their homepage. Beware of criminals pretending to be the world health organization. they will, they're saying they will never, they, the world health organization will never ask for your username or password to access safety information. They'll never send email attachments you didn't ask for. They'll never ask you to visit a link outside of. Who dot I. N. T. They'll never charge money to apply for a job, register for a conference, or reserve a hotel, and they'll never conduct lotteries or offer prizes, grants, certificates, or funding through email. So that gives you an idea of the scams that are being pulled [00:09:00] right now when it comes to the world health organization. So don't let your guard down everybody, these emails that are going out are a real problem. They've got fake one-stop shops for all of your pandemic needs. That's a problem as well. Just just be very careful where you go. I'm looking at some emails as well. They've got tricks and there are many of them are the same old tricks they've always been using. Don't fall for the tricks. All right. Stick around. When we get back, we're moving on again. We're going to talk about this new executive order from President Trump. Is it going to make us safer? You're listening to Craig Peterson here on WGAN and online Craig peterson.com. Craig Peterson: Hello everybody. Welcome back Craig Peterson here. You can find me on pretty much any podcast platform that's out there. One of the easiest ways is to go to Craig peterson.com/whatever your favorite podcast mechanism is. iTunes is kind of the 500-pound gorilla. They're not the 800 anymore. They're just 500 and you can get there by Craigpeterson.com/itunes. Craig peterson.com/spotify Craig peterson.com/tunein whatever your favorite might be, you'll find me right there. So let's get into our next kind of controversial topic. And this has to do with President Trump's ban. Now it went into effect on May 1st, so it's been around for a couple of weeks. It seemed to be something that was released kind of at the spur of the moment. And it has to do with cybersecurity and the critical infrastructure. Now, you probably know that I ran for a couple of years, the FBI's InfraGard webinar training programs, and we did a whole bunch of training on critical infrastructure stuff. That's really kind of the mandate for InfraGard, but critical infrastructure. Now, just look at all of the jobs with Colvid 19 that were considered critical. The critical infrastructure really encompasses most of the economy nowadays. Even law offices are considered critical infrastructure. He said with a chuckle. Now that can be a problem. It can be good. It can be bad. It really kind of all depends, right? But bottom line, when I'm talking about critical infrastructure, I'm talking about the infrastructure that literally runs the country. There's one of the most overused words in the English language, literally, but in this case, [00:02:00] it really does. We're talking about the infrastructure that controls our electric grid, the infrastructure that controls our telephones, our smart devices. Obviously the infrastructure that controls the internet, the infrastructure that controls our sewage systems, our water systems, the whole electric grid, all the way up to our houses. That is the major part of critical infrastructure. Obviously our roads are considered critical infrastructure and the bridges and, and all of the ways of maintaining them. That's all pretty darn critical because without those commerce comes to a slowdown, dramatic and maybe a grinding halt and people die. Think about what happens if a whole region loses power, which happened here, went back in Oh four, I guess, and I think that was the most recent time. It happened in a very big way in, [00:03:00] was it 86 up in Quebec? And the one in Quebec was because of a bit of solar activity and the one here, you know, I've seen attributed to a bunch of things. The most recent one was that. Our power outage was probably done because of a probe into our electric grid, looking to see if they could potentially hack it and it ended up tripping one of these sites, one of these major sites that are used for distributing electricity, and then that tripped another, tripped to another, tripped to another and before we know it, we had a major cascade failure. So all of that stuff is very, very critical. If, if you've been in a hospital, you know how much they eat electricity. Now, hospitals, of course, have generators for the most part, and that's an important thing for them to have, right? You want to be able to have power if the power [00:04:00] goes out. So, okay, I get that, and that's a very good thing. But at some point, if you don't have access to, let's say, the diesel to run the generators, or maybe they're natural gas generators and you can't run those. What ultimately can you trust if you're a hospital. Because if the whole region loses power, so let's say New England, we lost power in all of the new England states, including New York State, New York City, maybe New Jersey. So we're talking about a five-hour car ride in order to get beyond where this particular power outage occurred. That means even people that have generators are going to run out of fuel because they, the gas stations aren't going to work. Most of them don't have. Pumps. So the trucks can't really deliver it cause the gas station doesn't have electricity. They can't be on, they just don't know what's happening. So they're going to have to send trucks to New Jersey or someplace to try and pick up diesel. And if it's even broader to say we had another Carrington event, like what happened in the mid 18 hundreds where there was a major solar flare that knocked out everything in the country. Now back in the mid 18 hundreds that weren't such a big deal. Today it would be huge. So between those two, obviously having a more localized power failure is better. How about the sewage where it all backs up maybe into the streets? How about the water supply where we just can't get water. Because it shut down. So many of these devices are now part of our internet of things, and that's a real problem. So President Trump signed this executive order that prohibits operators of the United States power grid to buy and to install any electrical equipment that has been manufactured outside of the US they're even going so far as to provide funding and finances to remove some of this equipment from our electrical infrastructure. You probably already know that we are not allowing these Chinese firms to build our new five G infrastructure or any of the equipment that's in it either. Then here's the code from the order. I further find that unrestricted acquisition or use in the United States of the bulk power system, electric equipment designed, developed, manufactured, or supplied by persons owned by controlled by or subject to the jurisdiction or direction of foreign adversaries augments the ability of the foreign adversaries to create an exploit vulnerabilities in bulk power system, electric equipment with potentially catastrophic effect. I think he's right. We're seeing these power grids, water grids, et cetera, being attacked. And much of it's coming through the internet of things like keep warning people about, it's, it's really, it's just absolutely amazing. So let's go back. I went and checked in the news, cause I had heard about what had happened over in Israel. And this is May 7th okay, so this week, this is very, very recent. Israel is blaming the US for Iran causing a widespread cyberattack on Israeli water and sewage facilities during April. This was a report that came out from Fox News on Thursday, and according to the report, [00:08:00] Iran used American servers to hack into the facilities. A I've talked about this now for 20 years, and, this whole part of it just really bothers me. They used American servers. Most of the time when the bad guys are using American servers using American computers, what they've actually done is they have compromised a server. 20 years ago we were talking about how Al Qaeda was videotaping the beheading of Americans and distributing them worldwide using American servers. Isn't that amazing? It's shocking. It shouldn't be shocking anyways to all of us, but that's what they were doing. They were using servers that they had hijacked. Now here we are 20 years later and Iran is using these servers to attack. [00:09:00] We know that our servers here, our desktops are being used, they're being compromised and then use to do denial of service attacks. Many other types of attacks out there. So it looks like President Trump might have been a little bit ahead of the game here. I'm looking at, the article here that I'm seeing on the Jerusalem Post. Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the issue at last year's cyber tech conference in Televiv saying that Iran is attacking Israel on a daily basis. We monitor it and prevent it every day. They are threatening and other ways. What is important is that every country can be attacked and each country needs a combination of defense and attack capabilities. Israel has such an ability. So think that through a little bit. I know here in the US we have the ability to attack back, no question about that. Now, I also found [00:10:00] online over at, Analytics India magazine online, and this is from a couple of weeks back, three weeks ago, cyberattacks on the critical infrastructure of India is a worrying trend. So let's see, we've got the US that we know has had the critic, our critical infrastructure tack. We know your Iran appears to be responsible for Israeli. Critical infrastructure attacks, and according to the prime minister, they're being attacked daily. We've got India, and here's another one. This is the Czech Republic. This is just a quick search that I did online to find out who's been attacked lately. And this is from April 20th so what about three weeks ago? Attempted cyber attacks against several hospitals and an airport in the Czech Republic show. The coronavirus pandemic has not slowed down the West digital adversaries. So the leaders over in the Czech Republic are saying that they were able to stop these attacks, but they're getting more highly sophisticated attacks all of the time. Czech's top cybersecurity agency has warned, expected imminent serious cyberattacks against us healthcare sector aimed at disabling computers and destroying data. So in many cases, it's ransomware. In fact, that's the number one threat right now against our businesses in the US, it's still ransomware. Can you believe it? It is still ransomware. We are still not protecting ourselves and our business. It just drives me nuts. And that's our, we'll do some more training about this in the next few weeks here. This is particularly problematic right now because we're, we are in the middle of a pandemic. We do have hospitals trying to treat patients and they are under attack and they are getting ransomware and some of these big ransomware bad guys out there. I've said, Oh, no, no, no, we're not. Going to, Hey, if we do take control accidentally of the hospital's computers, we're just going to release it right away. We're not going to hold them ransom, and yet they have been, so be very careful. Everybody, this is, this is not going away anytime soon. They are going to continue to attack us. So when we get back, let's talk about something fun here. Let's talk about what the James Dyson Foundation is doing for our kids. You're listening to Craig Peterson here on W G A N and online CraigPeterson.com/subscribe make sure you get my weekly newsletter so you keep on top of all of these new stories for the week, and I'll be on with Matt Wednesday at seven 30. Craig Peterson: Hey everybody, welcome back. Craig Peterson here on WGAN. I'm on every Saturday from one til three and I am so grateful you guys have joined me today and all of the people that have been signing up today from my newsletter, by the way, when you sign up, I've got. Three little special surprises that only don't even mention when you sign up. So we'll be getting those over the course of the next week or so. Some really great tip sheets, some tools that you can use in order to help make sure your home and your business is properly secured. And hopefully by now. they've started running my little features and those are going to be fantastic. I'm trying to generate a couple of weeks so we can put them up and keep them fresh. But it, it kinda goes into some details of, you know what you should do. So let me, I'm going to put one in here right now. Play one of these features. This one's on passwords. Just give an idea of what these are so you can kind of keep an eye, an ear out for them. I was going to say an eye, but it's obviously an ear. Have you ever heard the term poned? While you might have been poned? Hi, this is Craig Peterson here with a security blink about something known as powning. Poned means that your account has been the victim of a data breach. Your username and password have been stolen from a third party. Now there's an easy way to find out if your account login has been stolen. Troy hunt started and still maintained a website called have I been postponed? He's collected the records of almost 10 billion user accounts from the dark web. Think about that for a minute. If you have an online user account, the odds are that your account data is online, out in the dark web, and the bad guys are using the same information they're finding on the dark web to send you phishing emails recently that's included scareware emails that are threatening to release some information about you. If you don't pay a Bitcoin ransom to prove their point, they're including your email address and password they found online. I'm contacted by listeners every week because these emails truly are scary, but are best ignored. How do you find out if you've been a victim of a data breach? Although it's safe to assume that you have been, you can just go online to have I been poned.com. Troy will let you enter your email address and he will search his database to see if your account information has been stolen. So what should you do? Get one password. It's the best password manager I've ever found. Use it to automatically generate a new password for you. For every online account, you have. One password will also automatically check to see if your account is listed on have I been pwned. To find out more about pwned accounts and password management and to find out how best to use them. Visit Craig peterson.com/compromised. So that's what we're doing, putting them out. I think that sounds pretty good. I heard it sounds really good. I'm thinking of the future ones, I'm going to do it a little bit less scripted. It just sounds too highly produced. I don't know what you guys think. Let me know. Just email me@craigpeterson.com I love to get a little bit of feedback from you. Well, let's get into our friend here, James Dyson. Now, in case you don't know who this is, James Dyson, that's spelled D. Y. S. O. N. He's a British inventor, and you probably know him best via his vacuum, the Dyson vacuum. It's really kind of a cool thing. Definitely overkill, but this thing works on the principle of cyclonic separation. And they used some of the similar technology too that Dyson did in order to make some very cool bladeless of fans that you can get. I really liked these things. They're absolutely amazing. He has designed a whole bunch of things. I'm looking right now at his Wikipedia page, and of course, they've got a picture of his bagless Dyson vacuum cleaner, which is really what got him into most homes, most people to understand, but he has been very, very big in inventing things over the years. I like his air blade hand dryer, which you will see at many bathrooms, probably more of them as you go forward. It does use ultraviolet light in order to clean the air. It doesn't spray it all around. I do not like and I have never liked the air dryers and bathrooms. It makes the spread of germs inevitable. It is a very, very bad idea and yet. So many people just think it's fantastic, right? So much easier. We don't have, to use paper towels, which are frankly much better. They spread the disease a lot less. So the Dyson air blade is a very, very cool, hand dryers, kind of like a squeegee. Air to remove water rather than trying to just blow it all away or evaporated with heat very fast drying, a lot less energy and safer too for us in this COVID-19 day. Anyways, let's get into what he's done right now. He's trying to encourage kids to do a little bit of experimentation. He has this fantastic PDF that you can download by going to the James Dyson Foundation website that you can just search for online, James Dyson, DYSON foundation. Now a few, our parent, [00:06:00] grandparent, if you're homeschooling because there's no more school for the year, or you're homeschooling because it's just a great thing to do. You're gonna want to check this out. It would have been handy when my wife and I were homeschooling all of our kids as well, but he's got these challenge cards is what he's calling them, and there are a total of 22 science challenges and 22 engineering challenges. Yeah. It's just so cool. One of these, the first one reminds me of when I was a kid, cause I remember doing this in school and this is how to get an egg to fit into a bottle without breaking it. Now, back then when I was in school, of course, it was a milk bottle, but what they're doing is they want you to get a glass bottle that has a mouth that smaller than the egg. You're going to put that egg into a glass of vinegar and make sure it's completely covered. So within two days, that egg is going to be very rubbery. Do you remember doing this? You guys ever done this? Then you heat the bottle in hot water. Obviously make sure that you remember a taut, okay. Use a tea towel and your handle it, and then rest the egg on the neck of the bottle. You don't want to put it so the narrow end is down over the mouth of the bottle. Then as the Air inside cools down, it's going to contract. Right. Expand contract, right as you heat and cool. So. The bottle is going to contract a little bit. The air is going to contract a lot. And you're going to have a vacuum inside this bottle, so it's going to suck the egg inside. So cool. And then the card goes into some detail. How does it work? It talks about the protein and what kind of acid is in the vinegar and what ends up happening. It actually [00:08:00] changes the chemical compound of the egg, which is what makes it rubbery. They've got this underwater volcano thing, which is so cool. This is a colorful underwater volcano that you can make very simple, again, ping pong balls and making them float using a hairdryer. It talks about the Bernoulli Bernoulli effect, which is, you remember I first learned about when I was starting to work on these new hard drives that had just come out and how har, how the heads floated using. Bernoulli a fact, a balloon, kebabs. Can you put a skewer into a balloon without popping it? So they explain how that works, what to do, what not to do. Liquid densities, just a whole ton of them. A geodesic dome is their first engineering challenge. Let me see if I can pull that up on my screen because this is pretty cool to make. Make sure you grab this, send it to your kids, grandkids. Use it yourself. Measuring the speed of light weather balloon. How to make a paperclip float. Yeah. Surface tension. Right. Skipped, fire extinguisher, scared pepper, dancing raisins that so many cool things. A lava lamp. I've always thought those were the coolest things. Did you know that some of the best random number generators out there right now are actually using lava lamps? A whole bunch of them. The visible link and then the Geodesic dome is you're using these jelly sweets and cocktail sticks and putting them all together. And how is it done? Talks about Buckminster fuller. I just love this stuff. I don't know about you guys, but it's so simple. Marble runs the kids can make, and it's where marble is running down the outside of a box and how you guided spaghetti bridges. See, all of these are cheap, strong as this drinking [00:10:00] straw. Not the crappy paper ones, but a real drinking straw. Electric motors. Yeah. Anyhow, check it out online. Of course, there's a link to it as well @craigpeterson.com you can go there. You can see all of this week's articles, and if you are a subscriber to my email list. You will already have it in your mailbox, should have gone out to this morning. So double-check your email. If you did not get it, just send me an email to me@craigpeterson.com that's Peterson with an S O N.com and just ME. Right. Me, it's me and Craig peterson.com and I'll be glad to double-check as to why you didn't get it. Hopefully, I didn't get caught in a spam box somewhere cause we send out thousands of these things every week. And you never know if someone, if people don't open them, I don't know if he knew how this works, but if people don't open them, like on Gmail, Google mail, if they're not, people don't open them. They assume, Oh, nobody's interested in this. And so it gets a lower priority until all of a sudden Google thinks, Oh well. This must be spam because people aren't opening it. So make sure you open it and download any graphics that are in there. Cause that tells Google and everybody else that, Hey, you care about this email. If you turn off the remote images, which is what I normally do personally. but when I get a newsletter, I always make sure to turn it back on. so if you got the images, then Google or AOL or Hotmail or office who 65 whatever you're using will know that it is a good email. It's valid. All right. Stick around. When we get back, we're moving to be on we're going to talk a little bit about Microsoft teams and some phishing that's been going on. You're listening to Craig Peterson here on W G A N. Craig Peterson: Hello everybody. Welcome back. Craig Peterson here on WGAN online and craigpeterson.com. We've been covering a lot of stuff this show today. We just talked about these challenge cards and if you're interested, if you didn't get that URL, I'm going to give it to you again. I love these things are great for your kids, grandkids coming over for the day, whatever it might be. Go online and go to either look for James Dyson's foundation or just go to my website craigpeterson.com. You'll find it there under the radio show, but the James Dyson Foundation is who published these things they're absolutely phenomenal. We also talked about President Trump's executive order banning foreign electrical equipment from getting into our grid. Looks like they're trying to remove equipment that's already there. After the attacks that have been mounted all around the world against different [00:01:00] countries is no time to let your guard down. We've got Corona fraud in a very, very big way still, so we talked about some of that, what that's all about, and telecommuting in a post-COVID 19 world, what does that look like? How is that going to affect our businesses, our lives, our jobs, et cetera? So if you missed any of that, you can just go online to Craig peterson.com check the podcast and you can listen to it right there. I've also been trying to put them up over on YouTube and put them up on Facebook from time to time. I'm going to get better about that. I absolutely have to because we've got to get this message out to everybody, and if you have shared my newsletter with friends or some of these webinars I did. Two dozen over the course of a couple of weeks if you shared any of them. I just want to thank you guys so much for doing that. This is such an important thing for me to get the word out. That's what I've been trying to do for. Decades now because I got nailed as a small business owner by one of these pieces of nasty where there was out circulating at the time, and I really don't want it to happen to you or anybody else. And it really upsets me when I see some of these advertisers who are deceiving people. Just this week I broke down one of these ads I was hearing for VPNs. And every word they were saying was correct. But if you get into like the legal definition, if you're sworn in, it's the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, right? It's not what it's supposed to be. What does that mean? Well, the truth, you know? Okay. So did you rob that store? No. Okay. That's the truth of the whole truth might be, no, I did not Rob that store, but I heard Jane robbed the store, or I know Jane robbed this store or that would be the whole truth. So they, they're talking about their VPN product. And they're talking about how it can keep your data away from prying eyes. Well, yeah, it's kind of true, but it also exposes you to even more prying eyes. You see what I'm talking about when I say not the whole truth. So that's why I've been doing all of these free little training and also been doing lots of stuff for some of the paid courses and training too, because we've got to help people understand, and that leads us to what we're going to talk about right now, which is Microsoft teams. And now Microsoft teams are not bad. It's software that you can get as part of your now called, [00:04:00] Microsoft three 65 subscriptions, which can be good, right? And teams are what you need in order to have collaborative work and to be able to do collaborative work. But just as a quick word of warning, the only collaboration system out there right now that has full-audibility and all of the features that are required by some of the more advanced regulations is WebEx teams. But anyways, on all of these fronts from the Microsoft teams through, you might be using Slack, which is another very popular one, and even WebEx, but we're seeing a whole lot of phishing emails, and there's a warning that just came out here this last week that. People, particularly people who are working in industries such as energy, retail, and hospitality. There are some hackers out there right now that are attacking people specifically pretending they are from Microsoft teams. So they're trying to steal the access credentials of employees who are working from home. And what we've been finding is that many of the people who are working from home right now are. You know, they're, they're not being supervised by the security people. They're using a home computer. It may or may not be up to date. It may or may not have reasonable security precautions on it. It can be a real problem. And when they are getting an email like this, if you ever get an email that looks like it's from Microsoft or looks like it from a vendor that you've been using. If you're in the office, you might lean over to somebody else and say, what do you think of this email? Do you think this is legitimate? Or you might report it to your people, your security people, et cetera. But we're finding with people working from home that they're not double-checking it. And so they're clicking on a [00:06:00] link. They think, Oh my gosh, I'm not using Microsoft teams properly, or I mess something up and there's something I have to do. I got to recover this. I got to figure this out. And in fact, what it is, is that the bad guys out there that are trying to hack you realize what it is that you're trying to do, which is get, just get my work done, right? Just get the software working. So they have been directing attacks to the people. That is a little bit more ignorant in some of these ways. All right. Now at this point, it looks like most of these attacks are not highly targeted. In other words, it's not spearphishing. So it goes right back to what I was talking about earlier. Those emails that we were getting from the Nigerian Prince, right? They are general. So they're unlikely to mention your username and Microsoft teams, even your company. They are just generic and they can be sent to anybody. And so the hackers have taken a list of different companies and what businesses they're in and have been trying to direct them to those businesses. Now, the URLs that are in these, oftentimes we're finding that they. Are using multiple levels of URL redirect, and the idea behind that is to throw off these malicious link detection tools that are out there and to hide the actual URL of the final domain that's being used to host the ultimate attack. Isn't this something. These people are doing. So I did some training here on using Cisco Umbrella, which is a product that we sell, but you can buy directly from Cisco. It is specifically designed to help prevent these types of attacks, and I think it's really important that everybody use that installs it right. Get the free version if that is what you need. If you're a business, you should talk with me because there are special business levels that are not offered on the umbrella website, but special business versions that allow a lot more tracking and a lot more granular control. But make sure you have this in place because even with the multiple redirects, the odds are high that Cisco umbrella is going to be able to attack that. All right. So one message is impersonating the notification that's received when a coworker is trying to connect with you or contact you via teams. The other one is claiming that the recipient has a file waiting for them on Microsoft teams, and the email footer even has legitimate links to. The Microsoft websites, you know, Microsoft teams, application downloads, et cetera. And in one of the attacks, these phishing emails containing a link to a document hosted on a site used by an email marketing company. So we have to be very, very careful. And especially now we're, we're working more at home. We are going to be continuing to work more at home, move most of us anyway, and we are using these collaboration tools and maybe you don't have access to your normal texts of people that you would text support people that you would have access to. So double-check all of that. Well, when we come back, we're going to talk about the biggest threat. To the small, medium enterprise space. You're a small business, your small office, your home office, what it is, what those numbers look like, and what you can do about it. And we will be back in just a couple of minutes here. This is Craig Peterson, you are listening to me on W G A N or online at Craig, Peterson.com stick around. We'll be right back. Hey, welcome back everybody. Craig Peterson here. So glad to have you guys. I really enjoy helping out and I love getting those emails you guys send to me. You're so kind. They're just on some of the compliments and some of your suggestions. It's just fantastic and you can reach me directly. By sending an email to me@craigpeterson.com now, I get a lot of emails, particularly lately, so if it takes me a little bit to get back to you, I apologize in advance, but we do try and get back to all of the people who reach out, but you know, that's not always possible. Just a matter of life, I guess, in this day and age. All right, so let's move on to our next topic for today, and that has to do with the biggest threat out there right now for the small business space. And I was looking at some numbers here during the break. I'm trying to [00:01:00] figure out, so, so what is. Going on. We, we've talked a lot about phishing. We talked about what was just happening here in some of the online space. Things you need to look out for and what, what we're really talking about here when we call talk about small business, the biggest threat is. Ransomware to realize that. How long has ransomware been along? Been around? Excuse me. How long has it been out there? How long has it been attacking us? We have some statistics out there. I'm looking at right now from health net security saying that 46% are small, medium businesses have been targeted by ransomware, and 73% have. Paid the ransom. Now, paying the ransom can be cheap. It can be expensive. It really depends. Of course, the FBI suggests you don't pay a ransom because of two reasons. One, it doesn't guarantee you'll get your data [00:02:00] back. In fact, half of the time when a Ransom's paid all of the data is not. Recovered. And the other reason is it shows the bad guys who will pay ransoms, which means, Hey, listen, guys, you guys are paying a ransom. Maybe we should go after you again because unfortunately, many of the businesses that have been hit by this stuff don't properly update. their security and those are the companies that ended up coming to me. Right? They should have come before the ransomware hit, not after the ransomware hit and not after they had a second problem. You know, if, if you've got somebody who's providing you with its services. And you have been, you know, ransomed. Don't go back to them to try and fix the problem. It's like, well, who was it Einstein that said that the same thinking that created a problem cannot solve the problem. And we've seen that again and again and again, but paying the ransoms. Here's what it costs right now. 43% of SMBs said they've paid between 10,000 and 50,000 to ransomware attackers. 13% said they were forced to pay more than $100,000 now, I can guarantee you any SMB out there, well, if you're like 500 employees. Huh? It's going to cost you more than a hundred thousand. But, uh, you know, if you are a company that has less than a hundred employees, it's not going to cost you more than that. Not even close to it, but paying the ransom doesn't guarantee anything. If you are a bigger company, we're seeing the average cost of one of these attacks being over a million dollars, because if you're trying to recover, you're trying to do the. Great. You got to notify all of your customers, your customers, find out that you've been hacked and that you had ransomware, you had the lost business while you were down. You [00:04:00] have a lost reputation after you get back. Okay. It's just absolutely amazing. Now. Businesses that are in the B to B space like mine, right? I'm, I'm a business to business. In other words, my services, my security services, the hardware, everything. We're selling to businesses. I really don't deal with consumers, although we've certainly helped a lot of consumers out there, listen to the radio show, but the businesses that are in the B2B space are. Saying that about 80% of them, this is self-evaluation. 80% of them are prepared for an attack to some degree or another. They've at least taken some preparatory steps. People, these businesses that are selling to individuals. In other words, B to C, business to consumer, it's about 20% less. All right? It's crazy. 28% of SMBs admitted that they do not have a plan to mitigate a ransomware attack. So it's very important to get all of this stuff together because the bad guys are coming after us. You've got to have a plan. You've got to prevent the attack. So what do you do? Since ransomware. It is right now really the top threat it gets in via phishing attacks. It gets in a lot of different means, but it's really a saran somewhere. That's the bottom line. I would suggest something here because I know you guys. It is so frustrating trying to do updates. It's even more frustrating when you install an update and it breaks something. Right. And frankly, the update thing comes up in the middle of doing something. You say, Oh, I'll do this later. So you put it off. Hopefully, you're running the pro version of Microsoft Windows, not the home version that doesn't let you do much of them put off. And then they'd remind you the next day, Oh, I gotta do this. I gotta remember to do [00:06:00] this. And then you delay it. And in my training, I talk about what the best delays are to use, depending on what kind of business you are, but you gotta kind of figure that out. What are the best delays, uh, between the time Microsoft tells you that you should do it and, and when you absolutely need to do it? So you're sitting there and saying, ah, last time I did this, I had problems and took me a day to recover and I lost all of that work and I don't really know what I'm doing right. I don't know if I should legitimately install it or not. Right? Have you guys had those questions? Yeah, I bet you have. Send me an email me@craigpeterson.com if you've ever had any of those types of questions go through your mind because I think it's normal. Those are the same questions that go through my mind, my team's mind. So what we end up doing, of course, is doing a bunch of online research, at least we understand a little bit about what needs to [00:07:00] be done and how to do that sort of evaluation, right? We're kind of security professionals, so I get it, right? You're sitting there wondering, what should I do? So because of that, let me tell you the secret. Cause it really is a secret. Obviously try and stay up to date. Obviously have windows defender turned on and UpToDate, as UpToDate as you can get it, but I mentioned it in the last segment and if you want more details, go back to the last segment. You can find that online@craigpeterson.com under my radio show. But listen to what I had to say there because probably the best thing you can do. It installs and uses Umbrella. Cisco umbrella is available for free. There are home versions, there are family versions, there are paid versions. They do not sell any of the, you know, the real business versions on their website, and you can always email me@craigpeterson.com if you have some questions about which one's best for you. But what we deal with typically is the enterprise versions. I'm even using the enterprise umbrella. That my company sells at my house, right. In order to protect everything appropriately. But what happens with ransomware is it has to call home. Usually, when malware gets onto your computer and it establishes a foothold, one of the first things that do is call home. So it calls home and says, okay, I've got this computer. What do you want me to do? And the more modern ransomware will give lists of the files that you have on your computer. He liked that. And so it asks, Hey, listen, the files on your computer are this, that, and the other thing. So a bad guy, I'll look at the names of the files on your computer, and if it's interesting, they'll get on your computer. They'll poke around a little bit. And that's why there's such a variant in how much the ransom is. Sometimes they'll demand multimillion-dollar ransoms for the data if they think that you might be worth it. If you are a town, for instance, you're a city like Atlanta. Look at this. They've been ransomed what, two or three times we know of. So the first thing it tries to do is call home. The first thing some of this phishing email does is try and get you to one of these sites where you can get the ransomware. Umbrella, Cisco Umbrella is designed to stop both. It's available for free. Install it. Now I have a course on it and I may be giving that course again. An absolutely free course. We'll see soon, so I'll make sure on my email list so you get it, Craig peterson.com/subscribe.

(https://growingspaces.com/) I start this interview reading an article that Jason Stuck submitted to me to link on my website. I knew listeners would enjoy it and gain value from the article, but I also asked that someone from (https://growingspaces.com/) come on the show and talk about their awesome Geodesic Dome Greenhouses. 5 Garden Herbs for Flu Season (https://growingspaces.com/5-garden-herbs-flu-season/) Look forward to learning how to garden as I go, and learning from customers. Well, I can relate to that, we have a lot in common that way. So you guys are in Montana? Yes, my show is great because I have awesome guests and they are interested in Green jobs and I call them green future growers, because they are interested in learning about they’re kind of visionaries and entrepreneurs who can make a green business as much as growing a green planet. Agents of Change I think that fits right in with what we are trying to do here. We call them “agents of change” Where we highlighted some of these green businesses that are non-profits trying to build a sustainable feature how they use the products. More focused on them and how they use the dome. I think that fits in with some of your listeners. I was curious how many listeners you have. Well, I guess when it comes to podcasting, I guess it’s a bit difficult to really tell. I know my stats say that I get about 1500 downloads per episode. But how many actually subscribers I have? I don’t know where you get those stats? But Google Analytics says I get 1000-1500 people going to my website each month, but then they seem to leave right away. Like 60 seconds and they’re gone. I think they want more video then audio. So last Christmas my husband and I put together this Free Garden Course last Christmas break and pounded out the first 6 lessons, but I’m kind of stuck on the other 6. But now I’m close. I did actually reach out on the phone and talk to my listeners and I have had several listeners on the show. Often they have more experience then I do, kind of like my husband who’s goal is to grow as much of our produce as he can. We are in the same process, we have a lot of words need more videos infographics I was listening to a show on promoting your website the other day and he was big on infographics. I go back and forth on my show notes, it doesn’t take much more to do the typing while I am editing the audio. Which I like to do my own audio, I feel like that helps me it’s good for me to listen to the interviews multiple times so I can synthesize what my guests say with what we do here in the garden. How long are they usually? Well, my ideal is 35 minutes. But because I am on PRN.fm who needs a file of 53-58 minutes. My listeners like longer episodes because they like the content. (https://growingspaces.com/) Welcome to the Show today and here’s Lem Tingley from (https://growingspaces.com/) ! I’m the owner. We’re based in Pagosa Springs. My wife and I bought the company from the owners Puja and Udgar Parsons they developed the growing dome almost 30 years ago after working with Buckminster Fuller and John Denver at the (http://www.wstar.org/) out in Aspen Colorado. It’s a geodesic greenhouse kit that allows you to grow food year round even in extreme locations like Montana or Colorado! I think someone reached out to me. I know my listeners are definitely interested in extending their season. One thing I have learned is that in some ways it is actually easier to grow in Montana then a lot of other places because we don’t have the bugs but I am chomping at the bit for some greens. I generally don’t have to buy produce from August until about November anymore. I finally bought my first bag of produce the other day and what happens they have the romaine... Support this podcast

When Rocket Lab’s Electron reached orbit for the first time on Jan. 21, space-pointed radar noticed a mysterious object in space alongside the three satellites it launched. Rocket Lab has launched the world’s first global strobe light. Called the Humanity Star, it’s a one-meter-tall carbon-fiber geodesic sphere made up of 65 highly-reflective panels. In space, it will spin, reflecting sun’s light back to earth and creating a flashing effect in the sky. The company claims it will be “the brightest object in the night sky,” Jeff and Anthony brainstorm other items enterprising minds might launch into space for all to see.

After over four years of research as an Archeo-astronomer, by avocation, I discovered the Archeo-astronomical find of the time in August 2012. In October 2012 I presented my findings and was awarded the prestigious, ‘Graham Hancock Award’ at CPAK 2012 (Conference on Precession and Ancient Knowledge) in Rancho Mirage California. I have labeled my Archeo-astronomical find, ‘The Shadows on the Face of the Sphinx Phenomenon’. My find was discovered using Google Earth and time lapse photography. This pod cast was originally the You Tube I made to mark, in time, the aforementioned Archeo-astronomical find for CPAK 2012. Now, six months later I have made yet another amazing Archeo-astronomical find concerning Pi being encoded into the latitude of the Sphinx. This is very interesting to me because what led me to my discovery of, ‘The Shadows on the Face of the Sphinx Phenomenon’ was studying Ancient Pi or 3.142857142857142857142857 and the shadow phenomenon that takes place every February 21st and October 21st on the right paw of the Sphinx, one month prior the Vernal Equinox and one month following the Autumnal Equinox respectively. My recent find intrigues me because my study of Ancient Pi and the Geodesic co-ordinates of the Sphinx 'paved the way' for me to discover ‘Modern Pi’ ‘ENCODED’ at the Latitude of the Sphinx! (Yes, some history books may need rewriting.) I was preparing for Pi day at the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center in San Diego California with the intent of sharing my work on Ancient Pi and ‘The Shadows on the Face of the Sphinx Phenomenon’. In the process of that preparation an entirely new Archeo-astronomical find was discovered! This new Archeo-astronomical find, concerning Modern Pi encoded at the latitude of the Sphinx, will be the subject of my fourth pod cast. Before I publish my fourth pod cast and my newest Archeo-astronomical find concerning ‘Modern Pi’ ‘ENCODED’ at the Latitude of the Sphinx, I am now, on 2/23/2013, publishing my October, 2012 You Tube as a pod cast for my pod cast viewers. Some of my pod cast viewers may not know what my Archeo-astronomical find entailed, ‘The Shadows on the Face of the Sphinx Phenomenon’ is. My fourth pod cast will be published before Pi Day, March 14th in honor of our visit to the Rueben H. Fleet Science Center, San Diego, California on 3.14 Day. There will be a celebration entitled, ‘Pizza, Pinot and Pi at the San Diego Rueben H. Fleet Science Center on March 14th. That's all for now my star gazing friends, this is April Vihilidal leaving you with this thought, 'may the Sphinx smile upon you'!
