Women Cross the DMZ
Whatever you think of the highly-accomplished group of women activists that pulled off the cross-border march, we should keep sight of the obvious: the sky didn't fall. As with anything at Witness to Transformation, the march requires a balance sheet treatment. I have been slow because the organizers have been slow in telling their story, and to their detriment. But we now have enough to go on and it's a mixed picture.
The main question is simple: "how badly did they get played? On the upside, the march advocated for a relaxation of people-to-people contacts, something I strongly support and this blog encapsulates in the catchphrase "get people in, get people out." It also made relatively clear statements about family reunions, which have clearly been blocked by the North; the South would hold them tomorrow if given the opportunity to do so.
More controversially, the march pressed for more official engagement on the part of the South and perhaps from other countries as well (no serious person can believe that the march is likely to have any effect on policy in the North). We return to the form that might take below, but some of the proposals—such as going straight to the negotiation of a peace regime or lifting sanctions—are not at all what they appear.
On the downside, the inability to control domestic North Korean messaging was the biggest minus. But we had also hoped for some stronger statements and a better understanding of the current state of diplomatic play once the group emerged from the constraints of operating in the North. The final "reflection" and declaration contained a few disappointments as well.
Here is a blow by blow, focusing on the KCNA coverage and the statements that subsequently emerged.
May 19. Neutral KCNA coverage of the arrival of the group and reception by the Korean Committee for Solidarity with the World People at the Yanggakdo Hotel.
May 20. Visits to iconic historical sites always pose challenges, and KCNA coverage leads with the obligatory visit to Mangyongdae, the birthplace of President Kim Il Sung. The women also visited the Kim Jong Suk Pyongyang Textile Mill, Kyongsang Kindergarten, Okryu Children's Hospital and the Breast Tumor Institute of the Pyongyang Maternity Hospital.
May 21. The trouble came—predictably—with the International Peace Symposium. According to KCNA, "speeches were made by anti-war peace activists Irish Maguire Mairead, Liberian Gbowee Leymah Roberta, American Benjamin Susan Jill, Colombian Guerrero Acevedo Angela Patricia, Japanese Takazato Suzuyo and Kim Chun Sil, member of the Korean Committee on Measures for the Sexual Slavery for Japanese Army and Drafting Victims." This last organization ran afoul of the Ministry of Unification back in 2012 for issuing a joint statement on the comfort women issue with a North Korean counterpart. Is this what the MOU should be doing?
But then a nasty little KCNA pivot: "speakers [sic] said that the Japanese imperialists keen on aggression and war committed the heinous crimes of forcing 200,000 Korean women into sexual slavery, slashing the Asia-Pacific region and slaughtering its people. They said the U.S. is trying to ignite wars in different parts of the world, branding it as a kingdom of terrorism and a kingpin of human right abuses." Unfortunatley, we do not have copies of the speeches that were given, a major misstep on the part of the organizers. It is certainly right that Japan engaged in aggression and sexual crimes. But it has also issued statements of apology (the Kono and Murayama statements), despite enervating waffling. Where are the parallel North Korean statements of apology for starting the Korean War?
The women visiting Pyongyang almost certainly didn't make the claims attributed by the KCNA to "speakers," and some have rightly denied that they did. Christine Ahn claims that the reported praise she gave to Kim Il-Sung was a "mistake in translation". But the WCD's final statement—made after they had left North Korea--seemed to place as much blame on the South Korean and international media for picking up on the "misquotes" than on the North Koreans who misquoted them in the first place. Moreover, whatever we think of human rights in "capitalist countries," it is more than a little galling to be called out by a country with one of the worst human rights records in the world.
May 21. The difficulties continued with the meeting at the People's Palace of Culture. Again, unidentified "speakers"—no doubt North Korean--said that "the U.S. imperialists had plunged the Korean nation into the holocaust during the Fatherland Liberation War, adding that it was the most barbarous crimes against humanity unprecedented in the history of world wars. They denounced the U.S. for bringing nuclear weapons into south Korea and waging frantic war exercises every year by instigating the anti-reunification forces." Any corrections on offer? How costly is it to respectfully point out that this interpretation of what happened is not shared by the vast majority of historians—left, right and center—in the US, Japan, Europe and elsewhere? Isn't the purpose of such an effort to speak truth to power all around?
May 22. Again, the delegation faced the difficulty that any visitors to Pyongyang are necessarily portrayed as if on a pilgrimage to the Kim family shrine. At the International Friendship Exhibition House, the women "paid tribute to President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il before their wax replicas." Needless to say, this group of women did not "pay tribute" to the Kim dynasty. But no North Korean reading domestic news sources would know that; to the contrary.
May 23. After an opening ceremony with a speech from Maguire Mairead, the delegation began the official part of their march at the Three Charters for National Reunification in Pyongyang. According to KCNA, "She expressed on behalf of the delegation bitter feelings towards the untold sufferings and disasters suffered by the Korean women, which are attributable to the past Korean war and the war moves that persisted even after the war." This appears unobjectionable, but the meaning hinges on the crucial question of culpability.
May 24. The women crossed the DMZ by bus, not through Panmunjom as they had originally planned. The organizers appeared to say that they had approached both sides for clearance to cross through Panmunjon but were denied by both. But a Codepink press release later said that it was the UN Command that balked. Shuttling them through Dorasan seems like a South Korean propaganda play; the reasons for diverting the march in this fashion don't seem too convincing. After arriving at the Dorasan Immigration Office the women held another press conference and were met by 300 South Korean women activists who joined them in walking the 2.5 kilometers to Pyeonghwa-Nuri Park. The marchers were greeted by South Korean supporters but also encountered protests from conservative groups, which forced them to cancel an afternoon ceremony.
Source: Hanyoreh, May 25, 2015
May 25. WCD held an international women's peace conference at Seoul City Hall where they discussed the issues from their joint declaration made with North Korean women groups. There was at least some controversy that the mayor offered congratulatory remarks (in Korean) at the conference and allowed the women to use city hall facilities.
May 26. The women announced they plan to return to march again next year but this time from the South going up North (in Korean). Reactions continued to be mixed with supporting women's groups marching (in Korean) at Kwanghwamun in central Seoul. Meanwhile, conservative groups called for the government to ban the activists from returning (in Korean) to South Korea just as the ROK government punished Korean-American Eun-mi Shin last January for publically being too sanguine about the DPRK government. Last time I checked, South Korea was a liberal democracy. If conservatives want to hold counter-demonstrations, that is their right. But since when do liberal democracies ban people from speaking their minds?
To date, we have only been able to find two statements from the march: Women Crossing the DMZ: Reflections and Resolutions and a surprisingly hard-to-find Declaration on the website of the South Korean YWCA.
Reflections and Resolutions was put up on June 3, and is divided into three sections: a brief introduction; "successes"; and "challenges." The march focused on how the experience of separation should be used to push for peace and sought to draw attention to the Korean issue. Fine. But peace is an objective, not a strategy; so what is the political game? Predictably, the influence these women are likely to exercise is greater in the South than in the North.
Where we agree most strongly with the march is in its claim that "since 2007, effort to engage with North Koreans have been greatly hampered, and even criminalized." If the march can put muscle behind greater people-to-people contacts in a variety of forums, then that is a plus. This is the type of work that many of these women have done in conflict settings, building bridges and humanizing enemies through dialogue and contact. The Reflections also noted how social media was used to broadcast live feed of the event, although we have not been able to find it since and the whole effort would be aided mightily by knowing what was actually said.
On the Challenges, the piece does note the use of quotes out of context, but blaming the South Korean and international media is more than a little naïve; the press was largely reporting what the KCNA said had transpired. So where was—and is--the effort to get their side of the story out? The Challenges does state, however, that the women protested the coverage to their hosts.
The guts of the "Declaration" is contained in a number of bullets, and as we have discussed each of these issues at great length in the blog, we only make a few basic points on each. We have reordered them to begin with the less controversial, moving to the more.
- "Help reunite Korean families tragically separated by an artificial, unwanted division." This strikes us an area where the group could really have impact. The manipulation of family visits for political gain on the part of the North is utterly shameful and stating in a neutral way that this could happen tomorrow could be a major focus of the group.
- "Amplify women's leadership in the peacebuilding process in Korea and around the world in accordance with international law;". In my humble opinion, I fail to see the downside risk from accomplished women getting together with North Korean women to share their lives, politics, and aspirations. To our knowledge, virtually the only written piece we have seen defending this simple point is a piece at Politico by Tim Shorrock, also citing Dan Pinskton at the International Crisis Group; Pinkston has defended sports diplomacy here.
- "Lessen military tensions on the Korean peninsula," "challenge the world to support Korea's reconciliation and reunification as a cornerstone of building world peace," and "redirect funds devoted to arms race toward improving people's welfare and protecting the environment." These are hardly controversial but the last claim is more than a little ironic given that North Korea probably has the highest ratio of military spending to GDP in the world.
- "Decry wartime violence toward women and girls and bring justice for the "comfort women" who survived sexual slavery during WWII." That this issue needs continued attention is a sad testimony to the persistence of a small Japanese right-wing. But we also have to ask the pragmatic question Jenny Lind poses in her book Sorry States. If this is a cudgel to continue to beat up on Japan—wielded by either North, South or the Women's March for Peace—will it have the intended effect? This is an important issue that requires thought, and this group is ideally placed to do it. But "decrying wartime violence" does not strike us as the lead note to get thoughtful dialogue on the issue.
- "Call for the official end of the Korean War by replacing the 1953 Armistice Agreement with a peace treaty as stipulated in Article 4 Paragraph 60." This appears to have been one of the more central statements of the march, and it is silent on the complex interplay between the collapse of the Six Party Talks and the future of a peace regime. The US and the other five parties have committed to the negotiation of a peace regime in the context of the joint statement of the Six Party Talks from September 2005. But North Korea has walked away from those talks and—at least in the past—has used "peace regime" negotiations as a way of sidestepping its nuclear commitments. The march made absolutely no mention whatsoever of the nuclear issue or even the more neutral statement of "denuclearization on the peninsula."
- "Appeal to the international community to lift sanctions that harm innocent civilians." This is perhaps the most tendentious statement of all, one advanced by Christine Ahn it appears. Sanctions have been explicitly designed to avoid harm to innocent civilians and even commercial trade has not really been targeted except indirectly. But the march fails to note that the sanctions have been imposed not simply by the US but through a multilateral process at the UN Security Council. All of the five parties have agreed that targeted sanctions on North Korea's weapons program are an appropriate response to North Korean derogations with respect to a variety of international commitments. Marc Noland has compared the North Korea and Iraq sanctions cases here and here; this sounds very similar to Saddam's campaign blaming international sanctions for the suffering of Iraqis during the 1990s. Please!
The reaction to the march was in my view way out of proportion to its likely effect one way or the other. But to close on a positive note: people-to-people exchanges are good and if these women can make progress on uniting families and loosening people-to-people exchanges that is a good thing. But above all, these women—and anyone—should be free to express their opinions even when we disagree with them. In sum: lighten up.
I hate to sound too cynical, but since I participated in nearly identical events in North Korea back in 2004 and 2005, I can say that these "people-to-people" exchanges are not what they appear on the surface. The North Koreans have a bureaucracy that is responsible for arranging these kinds of events--as they have done since the founding of the "republic". The North Koreans copied this bureaucracy from the Soviets who employed it to develop relationships with friendly foreigners who can pressure their own governments to adopt policies that the Soviets would find acceptable. This bureaucratic organization is not a mechanism for changing North Korean policy--it is a mechanism for accomplishing North Korea's foreign policy (particularly with countries with which it does not have formal diplomatic relations). Ms. Ahn and Alejandro Cao de Benos have the same handlers in Pyongyang.
Lighten up, Melvin. To compare these women to the KFA degrades the degree of education you've been awarded. And on that, what expertise do you actually possess in public diplomacy? Why is it that not one single solitary publication reached out to a public diplomacy academic for their analysis of this event? I have one plausible answer - because this field tends to be dominated by self-interested ideologues who think they have the market cornered on knowledge of all scholarship that possibly has an effect on the Korean War. I'm sorry to break it to you, Melvin, but you're just an economist with Google Earth and you should stay in your lane.
Those interested in learning about the Soviet bureaucracy on which the North Korean cultural exchange program is modeled can start here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VOKS. Of course there are JSTOR and other options available if you have access and care to conduct further research.
And yet the Soviet Union fell... Not because of an intelligently-designed cultural program, but because of the idealogical cracks that were created by the inflow of external information, and desire for a better life that resulted from it. Of course, a public diplomacy scholar would know all the details of that already.
Another well balanced analysis from Steph, in my opinion. I concur strongly with the catchphrase, "get people in, get people out." Re the May 21 statements by the North Koreans re the origins of the Korean War, having had discussions with individual North Koreans (guides) on this topic, frankly I'm not sure what would transpire were individuals or a group to "correct" or offer an alternative "history" at a public forum such as this group was in. When discussing these issues I felt it best not to put my listener in the position of having another North Korean hear the discussion so that they might later be reported on at a struggle session. As most of your readers know, I hope, usually weekly or more frequently North Koreans have "struggle" sessions in their "units" where they are supposed to report on any "bad thoughts or actions" that they themselves have done since the last meeting (kind of a confessional). The problem is that just reporting on yourself isn't proof enough of your sincerity and adherence to the rules. You have to be "observant" and note and report when others break the rules. This means you have to periodically report on your friends and colleagues. Thus if you are involved in something questionable with a foreigner that someone else can report on you should self-report to save yourself some pain. I'm not sure how a room full of North Koreans would act or have to act when confronted to their face with a contradiction of a central tenant of their "origin myth." I would think that things could get ugly pretty quickly as the North Korean attendees had to demonstrate their outrage and loyalty to the Kim's so that they and their families don't get punished later. Such a direct, public affront to the system might also require some "appropriate" response to the balloon poppers that might not be pleasant. Not to be too sexist but I'm not sure why we should want/expect a group of women to take the lead in such a behavioral "experiment" when, to my knowledge we haven't seen any of our brave male representatives test the Taedong waters, other than poor Merrill Newman.
Hmmm,Melvin, even Greg Scarlatoiu supports the Laibach concert, which is being facilitated by the CCRFC. I suppose Korean War coverage will soon be the Litmus Test of Academic, journalistic, and political integrity. I personally wouldn't recommend selling one's integrity for any amount of money and popularity. But, to each their own. We see how far that's getting Suki Kim. http://lareviewofbooks.org/contributor/john-w-w-zeiser

Since it's Thanksgiving week I wanted to share a quick thought on being thankful. It's easy for us to be thankful when things go well and you get what you desired. But let's try being thankful for the times things are difficult, when it seems the world is aligned against us and when we begin to hear that little voice of doubt. Instead of seeing these things as reasons to quit, stop, or believe it's not meant to be. How about we practice being thankful for the opportunity to test ourselves, to see how committed we are and for the chance to grow?
Be thankful for challenges, obstacles and the chance to show the yourself how awesome you truly are!

CGE&Y has added Consolidated Communications and icas PR to its roster of agencies, which already includes Harrison Cowley, which successfully repitched to continue working with the firm.
Fifteen agencies met CGE&Y, with three called in to formally pitch for the business.
According to Blake, the decision to review was an attempt to reduce the number of agencies on the roster, without 'putting all our eggs in one basket'.
'We wanted to make sure we were getting the best value from our investment in agencies. We had several agencies doing little bits and pieces for various business sectors and that was not satisfactory,' she said.
Following the review, Consolidated will handle B2B business for CGE&Y, icas will handle corporate work, and HC will continue to provide media relations support for its telecoms, media and networks and energies and utilities divisions. HC's work continues to be overseen by chairman David Heal.
CGE&Y is believed to be planning a major ad and marketing push in the coming month. Blake confirmed that the firm had developed a creative idea for the campaign, but said she was not in a position to discuss details of any proposed work.
Blake denied that the revamp of agencies had been sparked by the recent troubles at his firm and the management consultancy sector in general.
Earlier this year the management consultancy revealed a 40 per cent slump in profits, warning that its profits would not improve before the middle of the year.
Last year, the firm announced plans to cut its workforce by nine per cent with the loss of 5,400 staff.

Treasure Island, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/05/2019 -- From an intimate elopement ceremony on a secluded beach to a luxurious and extravagant wedding for 200 guests, there are some elements which remain constant, and some which only need to be considered as the number of guests increase. For instance, chairs are a simple addition to the ceremony site although, with tide times and permits to consider, some beaches will be better suited to a large gathering than others. Another less obvious consideration is a microphone, when there are multiple rows of chairs it can be hard to hear the vows from the back. Beach wedding packages have been developed over time by Suncoast Weddings, premier wedding planners on the west coast of Florida, to help couples 'bundle and save' as well as to suggest perhaps the most appropriate constituent parts of the ceremony which build to a successful wedding or vow renewal. A popular choice when there is a large wedding party is to play music as the wedding party and then the bride proceeds down the aisle. This can relax guests and especially children who may be acting as flower girls or ring bearers. In addition, music as a recessional can lead to photo opportunities as the couple and their guests literally dance back down the aisle. When musicians are an integral part of the ceremony, their music transforms the ambiance of the space. Suncoast Weddings have worked with musicians playing violins, guitars, steel drums, saxophones, and a harp. Steel drums, in particular, bring a tropical vibe which many appreciate as they travel to the sunshine state for a destination wedding. Often, the wedding is combined with a honeymoon, making the trip a so-called 'weddingmoon'. Family members and friends often are able to join for the ceremony and a brief vacation of their own.
The advantage of working with a wedding planner like Suncoast Weddings is having a connection to the best local vendors. Services such as a reception and a DJ, or a custom wedding cake, can be facilitated by the wedding planners. Wedding packages may sound predetermined however that is far from the truth, Suncoast Weddings ensure that every ceremony is tailored to the happy couple, so although some of the elements may sound generic, with color and decor options as well as add-ons like novelty wedding signs, every wedding day is truly unique.
One other factor to consider is the beach permit, which is required for any ceremony, not just a wedding. Suncoast weddings can help advise or apply for the beach permit which secures the location, date, and time with the city.
A popular twist on a familiar theme is to gather family and friends together for a beach house wedding. Suncoast Wedding s partner with the Sunset Beach House to offer a venue directly on Treasure Island Beach. The shore is transformed into a ceremony site and then the back yard of the property becomes the 'al fresco' reception venue. If the wedding party is more than twenty or so, there are hotels nearby or boutique cottages offering the prospect of a memorable stay.
Treasure Island Weddings, St Pete Beach weddings, Siesta Key weddings, and Clearwater beach weddings boast spectacular sunset views over the Gulf of Mexico, perfect for couples who want sunset wedding day portraits. Florida beach weddings and reception packages can be purchased which includes the ceremony and also the party to follow. This may include items such as a DJ, a custom made cake, a coordinator for the wedding and a professional beach wedding photographer.
About Suncoast Weddings
Suncoast Weddings are based in Treasure Island and offer beach weddings in Florida on the sandy beaches of the west coast of Florida in the Clearwater, St Pete Beach, Madeira Beach, Treasure Island area. With a range of Florida beach wedding packages ranging from a simple 'Toes in the Sand' ceremony to their tropical 'Island Oasis' and 'Ultimate Romance' packages, they have the experience to tailor each special day to the couple and their unique wishes. Choose from themes and color schemes featured on their website or choose something totally new. With eclectic inspiration like a seashell-inspired spiral aisle and a team of beach wedding photographers, videographers, ministers and planners who craft Florida beach weddings and Florida vow renewals to delight. They take the guesswork out of planning a beach wedding in Florida.

On November 13 we Orthodox honor St John Chrysostom, the Archbishop of Constantinople.
"St. Chrysostom was not only continuously preaching the Word of God at every opportunity but also had Bible classes twice a week where he unceasingly encouraged lay Christians to become knowledgeable in the treasures of God's wisdom and to live by them. To open the Bible and to read prayerfully and attentively its rich library of books was for St. John to open one's sails to the Holy Spirit and to embark on a most exciting journey in the spiritual seas and shorelines of God's kingdom. Christians according to him are not only to know the Scriptures but also to engrave them on their hearts. IGNORANCE OF THE BIBLE, SO CHRYSOSTOM TEACHES, IS THE SOURCE OF THE GREATEST EVILS OF THE WORLD, WHILE KNOWLEDGE OF THE BIBLE IS THE SOURCE OF THE GREATEST BLESSINGS." (Theodore Stylianopoulous, A Year of the Lord: #1 – Fall, pp 123-124)

WPP Sells Stake In oOh!media For $66M Ahead Of Adshel Acquistion
It appears oOh!media's impending acquisition of rival Adshel and its positive half-year results weren't enough for WPP to continue investing in the outdoor media company.
WPP has decided to offload its stake of more than five per cent in oOh!media to investment bank Goldman Sachs for $66 million.
An oOh!media spokesperson told B&T: "WPP, through Cavendish Square Holdings, has been a long-term shareholder of oOh!media and a big supporter of our strategy that is seeing us evolve from an old medium to a new media.
"We were not surprised by their decision given the company has been upfront about exiting non-core investments in recent times in order to refocus on the business, including the sale of its investment in digital platform AppNexus, and it did not take up its rights for more shares in the recent raising.
"We look forward to welcoming new shareholders to our books as we continue to execute on our business strategy."
WPP declined to comment when contacted by B&T.
The move by WPP comes after the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission cleared oOh!media's proposed acquisition of Adshel for $570 million just last week. Furthermore, oOh!media posted positive profit and revenue results for the first half of 2018.

The Importance of Cybersecurity in 2019Updated: June 09, 2019
All individual and businesses should ensure that they are up to date with the latest cyber security threats and take the best measures to protect against cyber attacks.
Over the past few decades, technology has become a great part of our lives.
Not only we use technology for most day to day activities such as staying in touch with our friends and shopping for our favorite products online, but most workplaces also use technology on a regular basis.
We rely on being connected all the time so we can exchange information, documents, collaborate, and even making money transactions.
We must also be aware of the fact that technology and the internet also opens a door for cybercriminals to exploit vulnerabilities and interfere with our data exchange.
And a cyber attack can have disastrous consequences.
While for users getting hacked can result in having private information stolen and being used for identity theft and other fraudulent activities, for businesses the attack can end in data leaks, sensitive information made public, and huge financial losses. And no business is too small to become the target of a cyber attack.
If you're an internet user, you should learn about the importance of cybersecurity by familiarizing yourself with the most common cyber threats and what are the best practices to protect yourself in the digital world.
The most common cyber attacks
When a business falls victim of a cyber attack, it can result in lost information, software, damaged system or website. Cyber attacks can be conducted through various methods and here are the most common.
- Phishing - Phishing is the oldest method of attack yet, the most common and efficient to this day. It refers to an attacker sending a fake email to the victim impersonating someone else (often a trustworthy company or entity such as a Bank or Insurance company). The goal is to gain the trust of the victim so s/he will provide sensitive information.
- Vishing - Vishing is similar to Phishing the only difference being that the attacker will use the phone instead of emails. This method is also known as Voice Phishing.
- Smishing - This is another method of cyber attack that takes the form of SMS Phishing. The attacker sends a text message that looks like coming from your bank for example, and you'll be required to provide personal information or to call a specific number to verify your identity.
- Whaling - This type of phishing targets the leaders in a company, such as CEOs. The attacker's goal is to gather financial information or other sensitive business information.
- Spear Phishing - Spear Phishing targets specific organizations or individuals. Unlike regular phishing attacks, in spear phishing, the messages usually appear to come from an individual with a position of authority in the company or from someone the target knows personally.
Even a small piece of information, such as a password to an account can give attackers the opportunity to access much more data. They can even gain access to encrypted data or networks.
The first step to protecting yourself against cyber attacks is to understand the different types of phishing and social engineering techniques attackers use for stealing private information.
Cybersecurity statistics
To better understand the increase of hacked and breached data and how important it is for companies to protect their data and take the best cybersecurity practices, let's take a look over some cybersecurity statistics.
- 412 million user accounts were stolen from Friendfinder's sites in 2017.
- The information of over 57 million riders an drivers of Uber was stolen in 2016.
- 147.9 million consumers were affected by the Equifax Breach in 2017.
- Based on 2017 statistics, there are over 130 large-scale breaches in the US per year. This number is also increasing by 27% per year.
- 31% of organizations have experienced cyber attacks.
- In 2017, attacks involving crypto jacking increased by 8,500%.
- Around 24,000 malicious mobile apps are blocked every day.
- Lifestyle apps are the app categories with most cybersecurity issues. They account for 27% of malicious apps.
- 38% of malicious file extensions are Microsoft Office files (Excel, Word, PowerPoint).
- $2.4 million is the average cost of a malware attack on a company.
- Cybersecurity costs increased by 22.7% from 2016 to 2017.
- 43% of the costs of a cyber attack is represented by information loss.
Cybersecurity threats
Data Leaks
One of the most dangerous threats to cybersecurity is data leaks. They refer to the event of information being accessed without authorization and they can be highly damaging to both individual and businesses.
While for individuals a data breach can end up by having personal information stole and becoming the victim of identity theft or other financial attacks, for businesses a data breach can turn up to be extremely costly.
Businesses hold lots of data, from employees information to customers' insights. This information can include full names, credit card numbers, and even Social Security numbers.
The global average cost of a data breach was reported to be $3.86 million in 2018, up 6.4% from 2017.
Companies are increasing their security measures to better protect their users' data. Most states also have laws and regulations in place that require companies to take certain steps in case of a data breach, for example, to notify the users if their personal information has been compromised.
But, as an internet user, you shouldn't only rely on companies to keep your data safe. You should also stay alert and take preventive measures to protect your private information.
Ransomware is a common cybersecurity threat. It is a type of malware that encrypts the data on a computer and the owner is not able to get back the access to the data without paying the ransom the attacker requests.
One of the best practices for individual and businesses to minimize the effects of a ransomware attack is to also store their sensitive data on cloud storage. Still, with the increase of technology, cloud storage is not bulletproof either anymore. It's best to store the data in various places, including an external hard drive that attackers can't get access to.
Another crucial aspect for businesses to protecting against ransomware is to invest in proper antivirus software and keep it updated at all times. Mind that not all antivirus software is able to cope with ransomware malware so it's important to conduct thorough research before deciding on a product.
Advanced social engineering
Phishing is the oldest type of cyber attack and it has been around since the '70s. And, while technology has advanced, so did the techniques phishing attacks are conducted.
Phishing refers to the process of impersonating someone else in an attempt to steal someone's private information with the purpose of exploiting it for fraudulent activities. Because nowadays artificial intelligence has risen, attackers no longer rely on being personally involved in such attacks but they can even automate them.
There are more best practices on protecting against phishing attacks and the most important one is common sense. Businesses should instruct their employees not to open or interact with suspicious emails that ask for private information. Another important aspect is for businesses and individuals to limit the amount of private information they share online as an attacker can use this data to create a more convincing act when contacting the victim.
Advanced hacking tools
The hacking tools criminals use for cyber attacks have advanced over time. This makes hacking tools widely available for anyone to use, which makes cybersecurity threats to grow in number.
Nowadays, even low experienced cybercriminals can find a wide range of hacking tools and programs online and conduct an attack with a minimum of knowledge.
The methods of gaining access to a computer network or system have also become more sophisticated. Because nowadays most businesses have a website or an externally exposed system, this gives attackers more entry points into internal networks.
IoT devices
IoT (Internet of Things) devices are devices connected wirelessly to a network so they can exchange data between them. Some examples of IoT devices include speaker systems, cars, electronic appliances, security systems, and much more. They are becoming more and more common in both homes and offices.
While offering a high level of control and accessibility and simplifying and speeding up tasks, they can also be a threat to cybersecurity. Each IoT device that connects to the internet can provide a way for attackers to get into a business if not managed properly.
To name a few IoT security attack scenarios, take a look at this quote by James Scott from the Institute for Critical Infrastructure Technology:
Without layered security of the IoT microcosms, hacktivists can disrupt business operations, cyber-criminals can compromise and ransom pacemakers, and cyber-jihadists or nation-state sponsored threats can compromise and control the grid.
It has been estimated by Cisco that 27.1 billion devices will be connected globally by 2021. So it's highly important for both businesses and individuals to only purchase the more secure and resilient devices, to harden the default settings, and to protect the devices behind a thick layer of security.
The GDPR regulation
Not only becoming the victim of a cyber attack can result in a financial loss for businesses. A data breach can also have legal consequences due to the GDPR regulation.
The GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) regulation has been implemented by the EU (European Union) with the purpose of tightening the privacy and security of European users. It forces organizations to improve their security measures or else they can face heavy fines.
Businesses should invest in cybersecurity more than ever before so they protect their users and customers private data.
Best practices for cybersecurity
The tools and methods hackers use to conduct a cyber attack have become more sophisticated as the internet has grown. It is way easier for hackers to attack a business or an individual nowadays. This is highly important you take the right cybersecurity precaution measures to protect your business or computer.
For effective cybersecurity, you must go beyond only protection the network. Although sometimes hackers do attack networks, it's easier for them to target a website or a server.
These are the minimum requirements for cybersecurity:
- Endpoint protection - This is a security management software that protects a computer network. The components involved in an endpoint security management system include a VPN (Virtual Private Network), an operating system, and updated antivirus software.
- Firewall - The firewall acts as a shield between computers and the internet, analyzing all the outgoing and ongoing traffic and restricting the data packets that do not comply with the set up security rules.
- Intrusion Detection System (IDS) - It is a software application or a device that monitors the network or the system for any malicious activity. Any malicious activity is reported to the administrator or collected using a security information and event management system. IDs can be used from single computers to large networks.
- Web Filtering System - This is used to prevent users from accessing harmful websites before the malware gets to attack their computers.
- Encryption - To secure private information, business sensitive files, and user's information, it's important that the data is encrypted. Even if someone manages to steal encrypted information, they won't be able to read it without the decryption key.
A lack of interest in cybersecurity can turn out to be highly damaging for both individuals and businesses.
As an individual, you can become the victim of identity theft or other cyber scams if you don't take any cybersecurity measure to protect your personal information.
For businesses, becoming the target of a cyber attack can result in financial loss, stolen corporate information, affected systems, and even reputational damage. here are also legal consequences in case of a data breach if you fail to manage your customers' private information.
All individual and businesses should ensure that they are up to date with the latest cyber security threats and take the best measures to protect against cyber attacks.

For those of you interested in China and Hong Kong politics, I finally found a short piece that I think encapsulates so many things that are "Chinese". Please forgive the impolitically correct shorthand, for a few minutes to work through this basket case example of "Chineseness". I'll start with this paragraph from the piece 「愛國攻略」by Assistant Professor Wong Nim Yan 黃念欣:
Of course, to live up to "strategems", there have to be wins and losses. The uncanny parallel about Lady Ula-Nara's role was not just that she was played by a Hong Kong actress, but also that she seems to have lived in the bottom right section of the Sixth House in the Yangxi Palace (a small southern island), was initially determined to avoid the harem intrigues (apolitical), knowing that she was limited both both in natural beauty and skills (limited natural resources), suffered from oppression (a century of colonization), to finally understanding the that the most important thing is to stand on her own two feet (economic take-off), to become the head of the Six Eastern Palaces (a leading global metropolis). My fellow Hong Kongers — are there not parallels?
– Excerpt from 「愛國攻略」by Assistant Professor Wong Nim Yan 黃念欣
The bottom of the post has a longer translation with paragraphs 5-8 of the article.
The Historical Context
Professor Wong is referring to the historical character of Lady Ula-Nara, played by Hong Kong actress Charmaine Sheh. Lady Ula-Nara was the unfortunate Empress Consort to Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, who dramatically fell out of favour overnight, literally dated to February 28th when she did not appear at dinner. She never appeared again in public, was stripped of all her titles, denied a burial and ceremony befitting her rank when she died a year later, and erased from the chronicles of imperial history.
For drama, the Chinese only have to look to history, for the well documented dynastic courts leave a wealth of mysterious characters who appear without name nor history and vanish from official records just as capriciously. The latest imperial drama that has gripped China is the Story of Yanxi Palace 《延禧攻略》, which focuses on the intrigues of Emperor Qianlong's consorts in the Forbidden City. Yanxi Palace, as one of the the Six Eastern Palaces, is part of Emperor's harem and host to the rivaling ladies who in turn get promoted to Consorts, Noble Consorts, Imperial Consorts, and Empresses. While the results of the struggles are recorded in history, who the main cast such as Lady Ula-Nara or later Empress Xiaoyichun is effectively a blank canvas for a TV serial.
The character we're focusing on is Lady Ula-Nara, who comes to represent far more than just a historical tragic woman.
Born to Read: Chinese Symbolic Literacy
The video is the more romantic trailer with music. Lady Ula-Nara is only in a few clips.
Professor Wong's piece captures a "Chinese" ability to make extended narrative metaphors, which then helps to contextualise how everything becomes political for the equally Chinese people of Hong Kong.
The role of Lady Ula-Nara, according to some sources, was marked for a Hong Kong actress. This raises a troubling question for Hong Kongers that Professor Wong is seeking to address in her piece: "Why did Lady Ula-Nara, the fallen empress, have to be performed by a Hong Kong actress?" (You can read my translation of the piece at the bottom of this post.)
Interpreting the Messages
What, then, are the implications of a Hong Kong actress in the piece? It goes deeper than just China "sending a warning" to Hong Kong. The metaphor is not just in what happens to Lady Ula-Nara — that she falls from grace and is entirely erased — which is ominous enough given the current political climate. The metaphor is even more complex, with Hong Kong's metaphorical story compressed into the story of one woman struggling to survive in a world beyond her control. The details of her story can be crafted to fit Hong Kong's, from the location that she stayed (the Yangxi Palace correspond on a map to the Southeastern corner of China), her demeanor (apolitical), her qualities (limited in natural resources), to document her history, rise, and achievement to lead the Six Eastern Houses. Hong Kong's story is being dictated.
As Professor Wong writes, the "question only has deep implications for Hong Kong viewers". To a Mainland Chinese viewer, the story seems cohesive, if they even notice that Charmaine Sheh is from Hong Kong. If they do, they will receive a generous portrayal of Hong Kong's struggles and achievements. In fact, one could interpret it as a benevolent pat on the head because as Professor Wong puts it, "The TV series returns to the theme of love — that Lady Ula-Nara cut her lock of hair [which is a direct affront] in protest to the Emperor." The scripting chooses, of all interpretations, to ground Lady Ula-Nara's story as a tragedy of a woman who just went about things the wrong way. It is an elaborate way to say to Hong Kong, "We understand." And, maybe, Hong Kong is partially forgiven. In the words of a friend from the Mainland — many people from the Mainland embrace and love Hong Kong as part of the family, and are therefore both hurt and insulted that Hong Kong is throwing such a fit.
A different message is meant for Hong Kong viewers: that you should know your place. For, the main protagonist in this show is actually the lady-in-waiting who succeeds Lady Ula-Nara to become Consort Ling and later Empress Xiaoyichun. In one stroke, the Chinese government (for this was aired on CCTV), has both achieved a national narrative and a coded message. The series is not exceptional for achieving this intricate layering, but rather the latest media manifestation for a rich legacy of colourful metaphors, euphemisms, and coded messages embedded into poetry, character name puns in wushu sagas (Hong Kong's Jin Yong is a classic), and allusions down 2000 years of official literary canon.
Professor Wong then asks her fellow Hong Kongers if they do not see the parallels (共鳴). Which brings me to my last point — that in the end, language lives between people. Despite all the differences between China and Hong Kong, the the cultural ties are strong enough so that the messages are read loud and clear. Both sides know it and both sides use it, turning everything into a political battleground. That fact that such a critical piece was published on October 1, 2018 — China's National Day — takes no stretch of the imagination to interpret as a mild act of contempt from the MingPao publication for Big Brother. The real meaning the article's title is "China's Patriotic [Educational] Strategy". And perhaps the reason the English name is so blandly called The Story of Yanxi Palace is because across Chinese societies, there is still a popular consensus (共鳴) that only stories with strategizing and scheming count as national stories worth telling.
A trailer that speaks to the Chinese love of court intrigues.
Excerpt Translation of 「愛國攻略」
Below is my unprofessional translation of Paragraphs 5–8 for your reference.
What would the Story of Yanxi Palace (original title is Yanxi Palace Strategems) be without Charmaine Sheh there? I'm afraid the question only has deep implications for Hong Kong viewers. More than [the issue of] her receiving "just" $2 million for the role, I care about the allegations that the character of Lady Ula-Nara, this one particular role, had been intended for a Hong Kong actress. Myolie Wu, Nancy Wu Ting Yan and Tavia Yeung were also considered. Whether it was a matter of the others being denied an opportunity in this big budget series, or really that there was no-one who matched up to Charmaine Sheh's acting — the issue I can't let go of is: why did Lady Ula-Nara, the fallen empress, have to be performed by a Hong Kong actress?
Let's first return to the earlier question. I think that since Hong Kong viewers discovered that the real protagonist of Story of Yanxi Palace is Lady Ula-Nara, they could only critique the series from an anti-China production perspective, citing that that dominated by an insider's circle. Technically speaking, the series' female protagonist is the head of the Yangxi Palace, Empress Xiaoyichun [and Lady Ula-Nara's successor]. But a Hong Kong-born viewer like me cannot help but notice that firstly, if you've watched Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace, you will know that imperial consorts' living quarters were not fixed, and were moved according to promotions and demotions. Before she became Empress Consort, Lady Ula-Nara also stayed there. Secondly, to having Consort Xiaoyichun's meteoric rise and waltzing through setbacks is no doubt for dramatic effect to squeeze in the harem warfare plots and schemes. The build up to the main "stratagem" that is the namesake of the series — forcing Lady Ula-Nara's hand in cutting her hair seems quite reminiscient of Mei Changsu in Nirvana in Fireburning a plaque in protest. The true protagonist of the "Yanxi Palace" and "scheming" may not necessarily be a Hong Kong person.
Of course, to live up to "strategems", there have to be wins and losses. The uncanny parallel about Lady Ula-Nara's role was not just that she was played by a Hong Kong actress, but also that she seems to have lived in the bottom right section of the Sixth House in the Yangxi Palace (a small southern island), was initially determined to avoid the harem intrigues (apolitical), knowing that she was limited both both in natural beauty and skills (limited natural resources), suffered from oppression (a century of colonization), to finally understanding the that the most important thing is to stand on her own two feet (economic take-off), to become the head of the Six Eastern Palaces (a leading global metropolis). My fellow Hong Kongers — are there not parallels?
Doused in Patriotic Overtones
In the end, what happened during Emperor Qianlong's 4th Southern Tour will remain forever sealed in the mists of time. Even the Draft Qing Dynasty Chronicles 清史稿have not uttered a word. The TV series returns to the theme of love — that Lady Ula-Nara cut her lock of hair in protest to the Emperor. He didn't treasure her enough, and she went mad with grief, but also laid out her heart. That Lady Ula-Nara was blemished because her love for Qianlong was too deep. Her so-called act of rebellion was in fact an attempt to gain equality in a relationship through a struggle of wills. But unfortunately love is not equal, which her rival consort teased out with one incisve question, "Why did you tell him if you had such deep feelings?"
"Our" Charmaine Sheh [and her character] could have retorted despite her wounds, "Why can't I tell him?" But she didn't. In her bloodshot, tearful eyes, you could see the reflection of fervent patriotic teachings — it's the predictable moment for a female star to remind us — love your country, love your people. It comes in that signature, demure, silken voice, like a soothing balm: "It is only good when it is just so."

Capital acts as a cushion against losses and as protection for members during periods of economic instability for the credit union. Therefore, a credit union's level of capital is a key measurement of its financial fortitude. From a safety and soundness perspective, more capital is better.
On our test to measure the adequacy of a credit union's capital, COASTAL COMMUNITY AND TEACHERS received a score of 10 out of a possible 30 points, lower than the national average of 15.65.
COASTAL COMMUNITY AND TEACHERS appears to be weaker than its peers in this area, with a capitalization ratio of 10.00 percent in our test, below the average for all credit unions.
This test's purpose is to estimate how the credit union's reserves set aside to cover loan losses, as well as overall capitalization could be affected by problem assets, such as past-due loans.
A credit union with extensive holdings of these kinds of assets could eventually be forced to use capital to absorb losses, diminishing its buffer of equity. Many of those assets are also likely to be in non-accrual status and thus aren't earning interest for the credit union, reducing earnings and increasing the risk of a failure in the future.
On Bankrate's asset quality test, COASTAL COMMUNITY AND TEACHERS scored 40 out of a possible 40 points, beating the national average of 38.09 points.
A lower-than-average ratio of problem assets of 0.00 percent in our test was potentially indicative of superior financial strength compared to other credit unions.
A credit union's earnings performance affects its safety and soundness. A credit union can retain its earnings, giving a boost to its capital cushion, or use them to address problematic loans, likely making the credit union better able to withstand financial shocks. Credit unions that are losing money, however, have less ability to do those things.
COASTAL COMMUNITY AND TEACHERS scored 12 out of a possible 30 on Bankrate's earnings test, above the national average of 10.11.
The credit union had an earnings ratio of 0.00 percent in our test, higher than the average for all credit unions, a sign that it's outperforming its peers in this area.
Bankrate.com's Safe & Sound Ratings provide a star rating system to evaluate the current financial status of financial institutions. The information gathered about banks, credit unions and thrifts is updated as set forth in the Terms of Use of Safe & Sound Ratings and Reports. The Safe & Sound Ratings information is grouped by categories of banks, thrifts and credit unions.
Bankrate.com evaluates the financial condition of institutions and assigns a one- to five-star rating for each with five stars representing the highest rating. Institutions with satisfactory performance will generally receive a rating of three or more stars. The majority of institutions fall into the three- to four-star range. An institution with an "NR" rating may be too new to rate or may have limited the publicly available information in their regulatory filings. The "NR" is not an indication of financial strength or weakness. The Safe & Sound rating is believed to be reliable, but the information is not guaranteed. In addition, events since the information was collected may have altered the institution's financial condition.

A Montague shaping proposal
09 Nov 2017
Property developer GURNER has submitted a $1.5 billion mixed-use scheme for a prominent Montague precinct site.
The property is situated at 2-18 Montague Street, bound by Montague, Munro and Johnston Streets and is currently leased to Mazda and Otis.
The property scheme for this site will include three buildings with residential and serviced apartments, a 4.5 star hotel with it own rooftop bar and restaurant, childcare facilities and large commercial and retail components.
The developer's director Tim Gurner told Southbank Local News it was focused on offering a high end product at an affordable price and contributing to the area's regeneration.
"This site offers a strategic location on the front row to the Fishermans Bend precinct so we are responding with a proposed scheme that will deliver world-class amenity to electrify the area and create a self-sustaining neighbourhood where everything is at its doorstep," he said.
"This project has been staged carefully to ensure we can start as soon as possible and begin the transformation of this very important precinct for Melbourne."
While the State Government released its new framework and planning controls for Fishermans Bend last month, the development will be assessed under the current framework introduced by the former Liberal government.
Cox Architecture has been appointed by GURNER to design the precinct into iconic buildings that will redefine the area and become a catalyst for change.
Cox director Phillip Rowe said he believed that development of the site into three well designed and planned buildings would provide excellent opportunities for the rapidly growing area.
"The architecture of the podium and towers respond to the surrounding context, with a stepped, sculpted form that maximises day-lighting and views towards Melbourne's CBD, Docklands, Southbank and Port Philip Bay," he said.
"The three unique towers provide sculpted, dynamic and diverse addition to the South Melbourne skyline."
"To this end, the project prioritises public open space at its core, adding extensively to this ingredient which is essential to the wider appeal and amenity of Fishermen's Bend."

Hey very interеsting blog!
I've been browsing online more than 3 hours nowadays, but I never found any interesting article like yours. It is lovely price sufficient for me. In my opinion, if all webmasters and bloggers made just right content as you did, the net will probably be much more helpful than ever before.

At six years old, my positions as a writer and loving parent were solidified when a note I'd scribbled on one side of a pantyhose paper insert changed the narrative of my relationship with my mother.
Neatly placed on top of still warm laundry she'd just finished folding and was now putting away, the message was a crude list of 'How to Be a Better Mom' tips. I pretended to watch Hong Kong Phooey as she noticed and then began reading the waxy, bright purple words.
A corner-of-my-eye view caught her dash into the bathroom.
Fear and summer heat kept me glued to our white leather couch when sobbing pierced the wall separating us. The thunderous sound of water running into the tub did little to muffle her weeping.
Suddenly, I was afraid.
I felt betrayed by her emotions. That wasn't the woman I called Mommy. Mommy was indestructible – a sharp edged, brick wall with tiny alcoves she stocked with obligatory, varying degrees of care. Sure, home-cooked food, trendy shelter, pristine hairdos, clean clothing, and all basic needs were accessible, but there'd been no semblance of tenderheartedness accompanying them.
In fact, acquiring it typically required some form of intimate terrorism. She ruled with a heavy and mean hand.
And now she was broken.
I was prepared for her rage. I understood that well. But her sadness was unexpected… and not knowing her next move freaked me out. In those moments, my six year old self understood the magnitude of the words I'd strung together with Crayola.
I could move the mighty.
It was quite clear that things would be status quo when Mommy appeared in the doorway a short while later.
As far back as I could remember, I'd searched her eyes looking for someone loving I could trust. Loving has a look. It is visible in the eyes. Even with tears welling up alongside the fury, it was absent from Mommy's.
As usual, she looked through me and I turned away. I did not resist or complain as she held me by one arm and danced me around the room to the rhythm of the leather belt swinging through the air. I focused on my happy places. Everywhere I'd go and everything I'd do once I was free. The only dancing I'd do would be with my children to music that cuddled the soul.
And every word they wrote to me would reflect our mutual love and respect.
At six years old, I knew I could and would do better. I wasn't sure what my written voice wanted say to the world, but I knew that my pages would speak.
My desire to be loved was strong and I knew that would propel me. The realization made me happy and helped me survive until my life was my own. I'm grateful for the character traits surviving developed. Something in that wash was very clean.
Surviving groomed several traits that continue to keep me powerful.
Here are 4 things I've learned about rising from the flames of a tumultuous upbringing.
Resilience Is Your Brilliance On Display
Resilience is the equivalent of a car's Optimus Prime transformation that allows it to soar over bumper-to-bumper traffic. Obstacles don't overwhelm you because you quickly figure out a way to rise above them.
I've always had an immense capacity to handle anything thrown at me. Ask anyone who knows me and they'll tell you that I have uncommon patience and a keen ability to see a way out of things; even when the stakes are high.
Yes, uncomfortable heart pounding, stomach flipping, palm drenching sensations rain down on me when stressors force my adrenaline to surge. But instead of incapacitating me, it ignites my mind-over matter skills.
The warrior in me is awakened and stressors best beware.
No Stinkin' Thinkin'
The concept is quite simple; change your mind, change your life.
Scholarly studies, Naked & Afraid marathons and IG memes have proven time and time again that positive thinking will instantly transform life experiences. Better health, stress relief and enhanced coping skills are obvious benefits, but better living is the biggest win.
Life is just better.
I have little tolerance for negativity and no hesitation about immediately cutting it, him, her, and them off. Tolerating unkind natures feels like I am literally unloving myself. I'm grateful for positive thinking because it allows me to see the act of removal as making room for good things.
Self-care is priority Number 1. Healing starts with the "you" inside all of us.
Positive thinking is 'you' at work. The choice is yours and it's simple.
Learn & Live With Empathy
I consider myself a Super-Feeler. I have a heightened sensitivity to feelings – both mine and those of others.
My childhood taught me that my emotions were not safe with everyone, so I learned to guard them. The internal simmer made me acutely aware of emotional yearning. It also cultivated an always-exposed compassion for others.
The world is heavily scented with longings for validation.
Folks want to matter. They need to feel wanted. That longing resonates with me.
If I, in any way, can make someone feel like they are not alone in world, I'm Johnny-on-the-spot. My writing allows me to sit and share, side-by-side, with folks every day. Giving in this way continues to grow my ocean-deep capacity for empathy.
I love very, very hard and I'm not ashamed to admit that.
Prose by Reyna Biddy eloquently explains: "Don't be afraid to show people how much you appreciate them. Don't hold back. Love as hard as you want to. Love as hard as you need to…the more you love yourself, the less you hate people. The more you'll understand and empathize with others. The less you'll feel the need to pass judgment."
Never Let An Opportunity Pass You By
I never ignore an opportunity to improve. I'm a self-help book junkie and require regular upgrades on my iPhone's storage plan because of all the IG self-love memes and poems I save on a daily basis. I'm one of the first people my friends forward empowerment workshop details to, and my life coaching podcast forwards are on point.
My commitment to being a constant learner is met equally by an unflinching desire to try new things.
I can't outrun the calling that there is always more for me to experience. My response to folks' dropped-jawed expressions when I share my life story is: "I only have one life that I know of so…." I know, that I know, that I know that I'm so blessed to have this outlook on life.
9.899 times out of 10, the only thing stopping me is me.
Love's true meaning wasn't always clear during my childhood, but my thoughts about the kind of mother I'd be to my own children were pure. They'd know that we were all loveable because we'd openly express affection, respect, commitment, and trust.
As bell hooks says, "Love is as love does."
Today another poem by Alex Elle guides my daily moves through this life: "Wholeness can come from brokenness."
And Octavia Butler confirms what I too confidently know now: "In order to rise from its own ashes a phoenix first must burn."

Apple unveiled an original programming partnership with TV star and producer Oprah Winfrey, the iPhone maker's biggest ally so far, in a battle with Netflix, Google and Amazon.com over the future of online video.
The company said the agreement with Winfrey is a multi-year content partnership in which the two will "create original programs that embrace her incomparable ability to connect with audiences around the world."
The projects will be released as part of "a line-up of original content from Apple", the company added in a statement.
Apple didn't say when the material will be released, or what form it will take – whether that's a classic Oprah-like talk show or content produced by Winfrey. Terms of the agreement weren't disclosed.
The Cupertino, California-based technology giant has been working on several TV show and movie deals for an online video initiative. It earlier struck agreements for shows produced by Steven Spielberg, another starring Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston, and a drama series featuring basketball player Kevin Durant.
On Thursday, Bloomberg reported that Apple is nearing a deal for a full-length animated movie.
The Winfrey partnership is the company's highest-profile video tie-up to date. Once the host of the most-watched daytime talk show in the US, Winfrey has extended her influence across almost every sector of the media business.
She is chief executive officer of OWN, a TV network she owns with Discovery, a contributor to CBS's weekly news magazine "60 Minutes" and an actress and producer of films and TV shows.
Technology giants Apple, Alphabet's Google, Amazon and Netflix are vying to lure top Hollywood talent like Winfrey away from more-established entertainment companies, and draw viewers to their own digital services.
Netflix has been the most aggressive, signing deals with US President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama, Glee creator Ryan Murphy, and Scandal producer Shonda Rhimes. Amazon recently teamed up with Get Out filmmaker Jordan Peele.
While Netflix and Amazon have a history of producing hit shows, Apple is just getting started. The company plans to start rolling out its first original content videos in 2019, Bloomberg News recently reported.
Apple has been one of the biggest sellers of other companies' shows and movies through its iTunes store, so it has existing ties to the entertainment business, mostly through executive Eddy Cue.
While it faces stiff competition from Hollywood studios and big-spending digital streamers, Apple's large reservoir of cash and the popularity of its devices have ensured the company can get a meeting with anyone in the entertainment business.
The iPhone maker has yet to tell its partners how it plans to distribute the new video content. While Netflix distributes its original content through its website and apps on all consumer devices, Apple has mostly kept its digital services wedded to the company's iPhones, iPads, Macs and TV streaming box.
So far, beyond documentaries about musicians, Apple has released only two video series: Carpool Karaoke and Planet of the Apps.
Both are distributed through the Apple Music app, but the shows were commissioned before Apple hired TV industry veterans Jamie Erlicht and Zack Van Amburg last year to build an in-house studio. They got about $1bn to spend in their first year.

Do you realise how incredible you really are?
Not because of your job title, or your achievements, or your ticked-off to-do list. But simply because you're YOU. I'm guessing it's been a while since you stopped and took notice.
Well, imagine waking up every day and truly believing you are incredible.
It's exactly this kind of worthiness and sense of empowerment that I'll help you cultivate through the work we do together. And I'm not going to lie, it does take work – but the best things always do.
Right now, you might feel 'held back', unsure, lost, powerless or confused. Or you might be feeling content with life, but want to enhance your self-awareness, pursue higher goals or create positive change or flow in particular areas of your life.
My job isn't to tell you what you need in life, but how to make your dreams happen – and it's the 'how' that will bring the balance, joy and clarity you need to truly thrive. And while you may come to me with goals, I guarantee that your real success will be the growth and awareness you pick up through the wonderful journey towards achieving them.
My approach is to guide you towards personal breakthroughs and build inner confidence with intuitive coaching techniques and life-enhancing strategies. Together we'll delve into what makes you truly happy, we'll untangle any beliefs that are holding you back while nurturing the dreams that make you come alive.
Using a scientifically proven approach called PH360, I create a very personal plan based on your gene expression that gives me a clear understanding of what you need as an individual to thrive, and therefore how I can best support you in getting results. I'm proud to be one of the few life coaches with the knowledge and training to offer this powerfully insightful approach. Every one of my clients will also get access to the PH360 platform for 12 months.
Nurturing, softening and surrendering to your inner truth allows a beautiful love story to unfold, where you honour the call of your Soul and create a life you deeply love.
