George Frederick Sanford
- 10135, Private, 1st Royal Welsh Fusiliers
- Killed in Action 29/30 October 1914
- Buried at Sanctuary Hill Cemetery, Belgium
- CWGC registered (Son of James and Kate Sanford, of 13 Mount Pleasant, Penrhynside, Llandudno)
- Penrhynside casualty
George Frederick Sanford, the son of James Sanford and Catherine (Kate) Sanford (née Corrington) was born at Gateshead in 1890. In 1891, the family lived at 56 Tennyson Street, Gateshead, James Sanford being employed as a brass moulder. George was recorded as the youngest of four siblings, the others being Ellen, Minnie and James. Kate Sanford was born at Gateshead in 1894; Charles Henry was born at Manchester in 1897 and Albert Edward was born at Birmingham in 1899. In 1901, the family lived at 2 Quarry Cottages, Penrhynside; James (senior) being employed as a limestone quarryman and George Frederick as a scholar. Later that year, another daughter Florence M Sanford was born.
In February/March 1909, George Frederick Sanford joined the Royal Welsh Fusiliers at Wrexham. With a regimental number of 10135, he joined the 1st Battalion RWF at Cork. The 1st RWF moved from Cork to Dublin in 1910 and the Census of Ireland for 1911 shows three soldiers with the initials G S, born in England and aged 20 serving with the 1st RWF at the Royal Barracks, Dublin. The battalion moved to Portland in 1912 and to Malta in 1914. George Frederick Sanford was on the nominal roll of the 1st RWF when it landed at Zeebrugge on 7 October 1914. The 1st RWF was under the orders of the 7th Division which had been formed in September and October 1914 of various regular army units withdrawn from duties in the Empire. The division was ordered to assist in the defence of Antwerp but when it arrived the city was already falling, and the division was ordered to hold a number of bridges to enable the evacuation of the Belgian army. After that, the division moved to the west where it became entrenched between Ypres and the advancing Germans.
George Frederick Sanford was killed in action on either 29 or 30 October 1914. At the time, the 1st RWF had been holding the line a few miles to the east of Ypres. His body unidentified, George Frederick Sanford was buried near where he fell. In 1931, George's grave was exhumed, and his remains were buried at Sanctuary Wood Cemetery, his body being ultimately identified by both his regiment and his service number being printed on two pieces of boot.
Robert Frederick Sidebotham
- 29622, Private, 20th The King's (Liverpool Regiment)
- Killed in action, 12 October 1916, aged 28
- No known grave (Thiepval Memorial, Somme, France)
- CWGC registered (Son of Frederick Robert and Florence Harvey Sidebotham, of 2 King's Rd, Llandudno, Carnarvonshire)
Robert Frederick Sidebotham was born in Worcestershire on 4 August 1888. He was the son of Frederick Robert Sidebotham and Florence Harvey Sidebotham (née Rickaby). Details of Robert's early life are scarce though the register of St. George's National School, Llandudno listed him as a pupil there in 1899. The Census of Wales for 1901 records Robert and his father boarding at 6 Jubilee Street, Llandudno – Frederick was employed as an ironmonger's assistant. The record indicated Frederick Sidebotham as being married but the whereabouts of Florence Sidebotham remains unknown. In 1911, Robert boarded at "The Nest", Penrhyn Bay and was described as a conductor on the electric tramway. The same census recorded his father as living at 2 King's Road, Llandudno and again, he is recorded as being married. Clearly Robert's parents had split for another census return records his mother, as Florence Harvey Rickaby, living alone in a flat in London. Robert was later reported as a driver on the Llandudno-Colwyn Bay Tramway.
Robert Sidebotham volunteered to join the army at Colwyn Bay, probably in May or June 1915. He joined The King's (Liverpool Regiment) with a regimental number of 29622. Soldiers with close numbers were in the depot companies of the four City (Service) Battalions (17th-20th, the Liverpool Pals) which in August 1915 amalgamated into the 21st and 22nd (Reserve) Battalions at Knowsley Park. The four City Battalions, including the 20th, had disembarked in France in November 1915 – Robert joined the 20th as a reinforcement, probably at the end of March 1916.
Robert Sidebotham was killed in action near Eaucourt l'Abbaye during the Battle of the Somme on 12 October 1916 aged 28. He has no known grave.
James William Smith
- Second Lieutenant, Royal Garrison Artillery, Mentioned in Dispatches
- Died of wounds, 30 November 1918, aged 24
- Buried at Chester (Overleigh) Cemetery
- CWGC registered (Son of James and Gertrude Smith, of Wilfred House, Harcourt Rd, Llandudno. Born at Chester)
James William Smith, the son of James Smith, and his wife, Gertrude Smith (née Grice) was born at Hoole, Cheshire in 1894. In 1901, the family lived in Wolverhampton; James Smith was the manager of a bookshop. The Census of Wales for 1911 records the family as visitors to 11 Warren Road, Prestatyn; James Smith was now a commercial traveller and his sons James William and Reginald Horace were a railway clerk and at school respectively.
When James William Smith joined the army is unknown, but he disembarked in France on 19 December 1914. He was then a private in the Army Service Corps and his regimental number of SS/1539 indicates that he was in the Special Supply section which consisted of trades such as bakers, butchers and clerks. James was gazetted on 4 January 1917 as having been Mentioned in Dispatches in the rank of private (acting sergeant). He was discharged from the Army Service Corps on 17 March 1918 because he had been appointed a commission in the Royal Garrison Artillery.
It is not known when James took up his new duties in France, though it is recorded that he served with the 251st Battery. On 26 August 1918, James Smith received a gunshot wound to the right arm (according to his death certificate) and/or gunshot wounds resulting in the amputation of one leg, a severe fracture of his other leg, and injuries to his right hand requiring the amputation of some fingers (according to a contemporary newspaper report).
After being evacuated to England, James William Smith died of septicaemia and endocarditis following an operation at St. Thomas' Home, Lambeth on 30 November 1918 aged 24. His body was taken to Chester and interred at Overleigh Cemetery.
James parents lived at Llandudno after the war but when they subsequently died, they were buried in the same grave as their son James in Chester.
Raymond Jack Leslie Smith
- 16067, Private, 13th Royal Welsh Fusiliers
- Died of wounds, 30 July 1917, aged 24
- Buried at Bard Cottage Cemetery, Belgium
- CWGC registered (Son of Thomas T. and Elizabeth Smith)
- Deganwy casualty
Raymond Jack Leslie Smith, known as Jack, the son of a former Liverpool shipwright, Thomas Torrey Smith and his wife Elizabeth Smith (née Nixon) was born at Deganwy on 4 July 1893. Thomas Smith and his family had moved to Deganwy in about 1879. In the Census of Wales for 1881, Thomas Smith was described as a gentleman, in stark contrast to his eldest son Albert who was recorded as an idiot from birth – Albert died the following year. In 1901, the family lived at "Deganway Villa" and Thomas Smith was described as a retired shipbuilder; seven children were recorded, the youngest of them being Jack. A newspaper dated January 1906 notes that Thomas Smith was the proprietor of a private hotel, opposite Deganwy railway station. On 30 September 1907, Jack transferred from Deganwy National School to Conway National School; the family's address was recorded as Smith's Hotel, Deganway. He left school in September 1908. In 1911, the family still lived at Smith's Hotel (Private) – Raymond was employed as a brewery's office clerk which is interesting because his home was a temperance establishment.
Jack Smith volunteered to enlist into the Royal Welsh Fusiliers at Conwy in early October 1914 and joined the 13th (Service) Battalion (1st North Wales) at Rhyl. Earlier RWF Service Battalions had been formed at Wrexham by the War Office but the 13th was formed at Rhyl on 3 September 1914 by the Denbigh and Flint Territorial Force Associations. However, around the time that Jack joined the battalion, the battalion was transferred to the Welsh National Executive Committee as a battalion within the proposed "Welsh Army" and it moved to Llandudno, eventually coming under the orders of the 38th (Welsh) Division. Jack Smith's regimental number was 16067. The battalion moved to Winchester in August 1915 and Jack disembarked with his unit in France on 1 December 1915.
Little is known about Jack's army service. The 38th (Welsh) Division took such a mauling at the attack on Mametz Wood in July 1916 that it did not go into action until 31 July 1917 on the first day of the Third Battle of Ypres, otherwise known as Passchendaele. Jack Smith died of wounds aged 24 on the day before the attack and was buried at Bard Cottage Cemetery. The location is close to the west bank of the Yser Canal, north of Ypres, which is where the battalion was in the reserve lines on 29 July 1917. The battalion moved up to the front line on 30 July. There is no record in the battalion's war diary of any casualties in the few days before the assault on 31 July.
Jack Smith was predeceased by both his parents. A sentiment on his headstone was authorised by his brother Arthur TS Smith, a motor engineer based at Deganwy. The Smith's Hotel is now named "Garrick Mansions", a block of six apartments.
Jack Smith's regimental number in the Royal Welsh Fusiliers was 16067. Arthur Edward Evans' (qv) number was 16068 and William Roberts' (qv) number was 16069.
John (Jack) Stallard
- 310159, Gunner, Royal Garrison Artillery (Territorial Force)
- Died of illness after discharge, 26 October 1918, aged 26
- Buried at Llanrhos Churchyard
- CWGC registered (Son of Frederick and Rose Stallard, of 1 Victoria Yard, Back Madoc St, Llandudno)
John Stallard, the son of a barman, Frederick Stallard and his wife, Rose Stallard (née Jones) was born in Llandudno on 8 July 1892. The family lived at 7 Dylys Cottages (downstairs), Back Madoc Street, Llandudno. John was seemingly the third child but by1901, he had another four siblings and the family had moved to 3 Jones & Owen's Yard, Back Madoc Street. John attended Lloyd Street National school but transferred to the new Dyffryn Road Council School when it opened in September 1905, his address now being "Conway View", Alexandra Road. He left school on 16 March 1906. In 1911, John was employed as a hotel porter though by1913 he was working as an engine cleaner at Hillhouse Sidings, Huddersfield.
In May 1913, Jack joined the 5th Battalion of the West Riding Regiment (Territorial Force) with a regimental number of 2263. Less than a year later, he transferred to the Welsh (Carnarvonshire) Heavy Battery Royal Garrison Artillery (Territorial Force) which had its ammunition column at Llandudno. His new regimental number was 446 (later 310159). Jack was mobilised on 5 August 1914 and the battery took up defensive positions in England; it proceeded to France on 3 March 1916 joining XXIII Heavy Artillery Brigade. From 27 April 1916 John was attached to the divisional ammunition column but on 23 October 1916 he was injured and concussed by an exploding shell during the Battle of the Somme. On 2 January 1917 he was posted to the 1/1st Lancashire Heavy Battery RGA but on 25 February 1917 he was returned to England. Having spent some weeks in the military hospital at Magdalen Camp, Winchester, he was discharged at Dover on 7 September 1917 as unfit for wartime duty, the reason being chronic suppuration of the middle ear. His home address was given as 1 Victoria Cottages, Back Madoc Street, Llandudno. He received a Silver War Badge number 238067.
On 1 January 1918, Jack Stallard married Mary Elizabeth Higgins of the Prince of Wales Hotel, Llandudno at Llanrhos Parish Church; John's occupation was given as a railwayman. Sadly, Jack Stallard died of pneumonia following influenza on 26 October 1918 aged 26 at 1 Victoria Cottages. His occupation was now recorded as that of a hotel porter. He was buried at Llanrhos Churchyard. Jack and Mary Stallard's child Mary L Stallard was born the following year.
Mary Stallard married William Evans at the Conwy Register Office on 26 June 1926.
The War Grave Commission's family contact was Jack's mother. She and her husband are included in the Jack Stallard's CWGC record and Jack's wife and daughter do not get mentioned. No doubt the Commission contacted the next-of-kin details as supplied by the War Office and were not informed of Jack's revised marital status.
John Stanford
- 47271, Private, 10th Sherwood Foresters
- Died of wounds, 27 July 1918, aged 27
- Buried at Harponville Communal Cemetery Extension, France
- CWGC registered (Son of the late John and Sarah Anne Stanford, of Dudley; husband of Mrs Stanford, of Sycamore Villa, Clarence Rd, Craigydon, Llandudno)
John Stanford was born in 1890 in Smethwick, Staffordshire, the son of John Stanford and his wife Sarah Ann Stanford (née Hadlington). John Stanford (senior) was a grate moulder and in 1891 he lived with his wife and six children, John being the youngest, at 8 Flood Street, Dudley. Ten years later, the family lived at 28, Watery Lane, Smethwick – John now had four younger siblings. In 1911, a widowed Sarah Stanford lived with five of her children at 334 Stoney Lane, Smethwick. John was employed as a moulder. He married Gertrude Fieldhouse in 1913 and their son John Eric F Stanford was born on 29 October 1913.
John Stanford enlisted at Smethwick. His service record no longer exists, and his first known service number was 47271 of the Sherwood Foresters (Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire Regiment). Judging from soldiers with close numbers, John was called up in May or June 1916 and probably trained with the 3rd (Reserve) Battalion. He disembarked in France later that year, joining the 17th (Service) Battalion which had landed in France on 6 March 1916. In February 1918, the 17th Sherwood's disbanded though whether John was transferred on this date or earlier is unknown. In any event, he was posted to the 10th (Service) Battalion which had been in France since July 1915.
On a date unknown, John Stanford was wounded, and he died of his wounds on 27 July 1918 aged 27. In the days prior to his death, his battalion had been holding the line to the north of Albert. He was buried at Harponville Communal Cemetery Extension, the graves in which are burials dating from June to August 1918.
Commonwealth War Grave Commission records show that John Stanford's widow lived at 4 Clarence Road, Craig-y-Don after the war. She was still living at this address with her mother in 1939 and died in Birmingham in 1966. John E F Stanford was killed in Egypt in 1942 whilst serving with the South African Forces.
John or J Stanford is an uncommon name and the only soldier with that name who served in the Sherwood Foresters and who is recorded in Soldiers Died in the Great War and/or is registered with the CWGC is the John Stanford of this biography. No evidence of John Stanford living in Llandudno has been unearthed: his son was born in Warwickshire in 1913 and he enlisted at Smethwick in 1916. His widow moved to Craig-y-Don at an unknown date and her details were recorded by EWGC after the war.
Sydney Mark Sutcliffe MM
- Second Lieutenant, Royal Welsh Fusiliers attached No 11 Sqn, Royal Flying Corps
- Killed in action, 2 October 1917, aged 24
- Buried at Cabaret-Rouge British Cemetery, Souchez, France
- CWGC registered (Son of Arthur and Rhoda Sutcliffe, of The Nook, 26 Roumania Crescent, Llandudno, Carnarvonshire. Born at Bradford, Yorks)
Sydney Mark Sutcliffe was the son of an entertainer, Abraham Sutcliffe and his wife Rhoda Polly Sutcliffe (née Tomlinson). Abraham Sutcliffe was known professionally as Arthur Sutcliffe. Sydney was born in Selby, Yorkshire in the spring of 1893 and was baptised at Selby on the 21 May of that year. About two years later, the family moved to Bradford and the 1901 Census records the family living at 29 Copthorne Road, Bradford. Local papers from 1906 onwards report on Mr Arthur Sutcliffe and his company of Pierotts (including, reportedly, the young Sydney) appearing at Llandudno's Pierhead Pavilion. In the census record of 1911, the Sutcliffe family was recorded as residing at 63 Horton Grange Road, Bradford though a specific record for Sydney has not been found. The family was later recorded as living at "The Nook", 26 Roumania Crescent, Llandudno.
In September 1914, Sydney joined the Royal Welsh Fusiliers at Wrexham. He was posted to the 10th (Service) Battalion that was forming at the time with a service number of 15551. The 10th RWF was part of K3, Kitchener's third new army. By June 1915, the battalion was at Aldershot and it landed at Boulogne on 27 September 1915. Sydney's medal roll index card reveals that at the time of his disembarkation, he had been promoted to lance corporal. On 11 October 1916, the now Serjeant Sydney Sutcliffe was awarded the Military Medal for gallantry shown during a poison gas attack at Wulverghem on 30 April 1916. He was discharged from the ranks on 6 November 1916 and received a commission into, according to the medal roll, the 19th (Service) Battalion RWF. Whether or not Sydney served as an officer with the 19th RWF before he was attached to the Royal Flying Corps, serving with No 11 Sqn, is unknown.
Sydney Sutcliffe was killed in action aged 24 on 2 October 1917. He was an observer/gunner on a Bristol Fighter piloted by Lieutenant Justin McKenna. They took off from an airfield near Arras on a patrol over enemy territory and were shot down near Cambrai. They were buried by the Germans with full military honours including German crosses at the Bouchain Communal Cemetery German Extension. Their bodies were reinterred in 1920 at Cabaret-Rouge British Cemetery, Souchez.
The Commonwealth War Grave Commission records incorrectly that Sydney Sutcliffe was born at Bradford. Another Sydney Sutcliffe (without the Mark) was born in Bradford in 1893 but birth and baptismal records confirm that the Sydney Sutcliffe remembered in Llandudno was Sydney Mark Sutcliffe, born at Selby.

Firm: Guardian Capital Partners
Fund: Guardian Capital Partners Fund I LP
Amount Raised: $50 million
Target: $80 million
Placement Agent: None
Guardian Capital Partners, a lower mid-market buyout shop based outside of Philadelphia, has closed its debut fund at $50 million.
Firm executives expect to make six to 10 control investments with the vehicle, typically writing equity checks of $5 million to $10 million for companies with enterprise values of $15 million to $40 million. Sectors of interest include manufacturing, consumer products, corporate carve-outs, medical products and family-owned businesses going through ownership transitions.
Guardian Capital on Jan. 5 closed its second deal, buying Sure Fit Inc., an Allentown, Pa.-based company that makes slip covers for furniture. Its first investment was in Corporate Call Center, a Blue Bell, Pa.-based provider of contact management, business development and other outsourced services to the insurance, health care and financial services industries, among others.
The Wayne, Pa.-based firm is led by Managing Partners Peter Haabestad, a former investment banker at Susquehanna Financial and one-time CEO of a medical company; Scott Evans, formerly of Cerberus Capital Management; and Hugh Kenworthy, the former president of Brynavon Group, a small-cap buyout shop.
The team thought it could collect as much as $100 million when it first launched its fundraising process back in 2007, as previously reported in Buyouts, though the executives are more than happy that they raised as much as they did in the worst fundraising environment in recent memory. "That was a different place and a different time," Haabestad said of 2007. "To be able to raise $50 million in this environment with three emerging managers for a first-time fund, we're thrilled."
Investors in the fund include Argosy Capital, Bowside Capital, a New York-based fund of funds; Hauser Capital Partners, a Cincinnati-based fund of funds; and Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company. The firm did not employ a placement agent to help it raise the fund.

The Impact of Cybersecurity Regulations on the Financial Services Industry in 2022
- The Biden Administration has emphasized a shift toward mandatory cybersecurity requirements.
- Financial regulatory agencies have recently issued new cybersecurity regulations that will impact financial services industries in three respects in 2022.
- Financial services companies should develop and implement comprehensive cybersecurity programs, design internal controls for immediate disclosure of cybersecurity incidents and risks, and foster a culture of cybersecurity compliance.
Following the SolarWinds and the Colonial Pipeline cyberattacks, the Biden Administration emphasized a shift toward mandatory cybersecurity requirements. Throughout 2021, government agencies issued new cybersecurity guidance, directives and regulations on regulated industries.1 The financial sector was no exception.
In the waning weeks of 2021, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (FRB) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) promulgated final rules concerning cybersecurity requirements for the financial services sector. The FTC amended its Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) Safeguards Rule to require FTC-regulated financial institutions to develop and implement detailed cybersecurity requirements as part of a comprehensive information security program.2 The OCC, FRB and FDIC promulgated rules requiring 1) regulated banking organizations to notify federal regulators of a "computer-security incident" within 36 hours and 2) bank service providers to notify banking organization customers of "computer-security incidents" as soon as possible.3 In 2022, these agencies will likely adopt similar regulations that their sister agencies promulgated last year. For instance, the FTC already has announced its intention to adopt a notification requirement for cybersecurity incidents.4
In addition, this past year, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced its first-ever enforcement actions against a financial services company for deficient disclosure controls concerning cybersecurity risks.5 The New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) also started announcing enforcement actions against financial services companies for the alleged failure to comply with the NYDFS Cybersecurity Regulations, which became fully effective in March 2019.6
These developments will impact the financial services industries in three respects in 2022. First, to comply with these cybersecurity regulations, financial services companies should develop or update written information security/cybersecurity programs7 and implement robust cybersecurity standards. Second, financial services companies should design an internal cybersecurity reporting system to ensure timely notification to regulators within hours of discovering a cybersecurity incident. Finally, financial service companies should encourage a culture of compliance on cybersecurity matters to prepare for potential enforcement investigations by financial regulators.
Develop and Implement a Comprehensive Cybersecurity Program
Mandatory Cybersecurity Requirements
The GLBA requires financial institutions, which are institutions "significantly engaged" in financial activities or activities incidental to financial activities, to protect the security and confidentiality of their customers' non-public "personally identifiable financial information."8 The FTC has regulatory authority over financial institutions that are not subject to another agency's regulatory authority, which includes, but is not limited to, mortgage lenders, "pay day" lenders, finance companies, mortgage brokers, account servicers, check cashers, wire transferors, collection agencies, credit counselors, financial advisors, tax preparation firms, non-federally insured credit unions, personal property appraisers, certain investment advisors, certain travel agencies and certain automobile dealerships.9
The GLBA requires regulatory agencies to establish rules concerning the "administrative, technical, and physical safeguards" of personally identifiable financial information. The various federal financial regulatory agencies have promulgated Safeguards Rules to establish information security standards to protect customers' personally identifiable financial information.10
On Oct. 27, 2021, the FTC amended its GLBA Safeguards Rule (FTC final rule) to require FTC-regulated financial institutions with 5,000 or more consumers to develop and implement specific cybersecurity requirements within their comprehensive information security program. Preliminarily, the FTC expanded the scope of its Safeguards Rule jurisdiction to include "finders," which are companies that bring together buyers and sellers of a product or service for transactions that the parties themselves negotiate and consummate.11 The FTC final rule maintains the information security standards promulgated under the original FTC's Safeguards Rule. However, the FTC final rule, which became effective on Jan. 10, 2022, and enforceable on Dec. 9, 2022, requires the following additions to those requirements:12
- Designate a single qualified individual responsible for overseeing, implementing and enforcing the information security program
- Develop written risk assessment that provides criteria for the evaluation of risks, the assessment of the company's security and mitigation of identified risks
- Perform risk assessments periodically
- Review access controls to customer information periodically
- Manage and inventory data, personnel, devices, systems and facilities
- Encrypt all customer information in transit and at rest
- Adopt secure software development practices for in-house developed applications and software testing of externally developed applications
- Implement multi-factor authentication (MFA)
- Develop, implement and maintain secure disposal procedures
- Adopt change management procedures
- Log activities of users and detect unauthorized users
- Monitor continuously or test periodically through annual penetration testing and bi-annual vulnerability assessments
- Implement employee security awareness training, employ qualified information security personnel and ensure necessary information is provided to information security personnel
- Ensure service providers maintain appropriate safeguards
- Establish written incident response plan
- Provide, at least annually, written reports to the board of directors or equivalent governing body concerning the financial institution's information security program
The FTC final rule is a significant and substantive departure from the previously required information security program. These new FTC requirements are similar to the NYDFS Cybersecurity Regulations,13 although the FTC final rule does not require senior leadership to certify the information security program.14 The OCC, FRB and FDIC already have some of these cybersecurity requirements within their Safeguards Rule. However, with both the NYDFS and FTC requiring financial services companies to implement detailed cybersecurity requirements, the OCC, FRB and FDIC likely will consider adopting similar requirements where they are currently lacking such regulation.
In the past year, we also witnessed the NYDFS pursuing enforcement actions against regulated financial service companies for the alleged failure to comply with NYDFS Cybersecurity Regulations.15 Similarly, although the FTC rule becomes enforceable on Dec. 9, 2022, regulated financial institutions have a short window to implement these substantive cybersecurity requirements before the FTC turns their attention to enforcement.
Key Takeaways for 2022
More regulators are moving towards the NYDFS model of requiring a comprehensive cybersecurity program. With the FTC's adoption of a similar program in 2021, the OCC, FRB, FDIC and SEC may not be too far behind. Although FTC-regulated financial institutions have until Dec. 9, 2022, to comply with the FTC's cybersecurity requirements, this may not be sufficient time to implement such requirements. These requirements may require a complete reassessment of an institution's information technology (IT) environment and significant financial investment towards IT upgrades and projects. This may leave institutions scrambling towards compliance.
Institutions regulated by the FTC need to immediately assess their IT environments and develop a plan to ensure compliance with the FTC's cybersecurity requirements. The NYDFS recently published guidance on MFA after witnessing repeated errors in MFA implementation.16 Thus, institutions should determine a method of ensuring these requirements are implemented effectively.
Institutions that are not subject to detailed cybersecurity standards should consider developing and implementing a written cybersecurity program similar to those required by the NYDFS Cybersecurity Regulations and the FTC cybersecurity requirements. Not only would such a program better protect institutions from potential cyberattacks, but such a requirement may be forthcoming.
Design an Internal Disclosure System for Cybersecurity Incident
Notification Regulations
On Nov. 18, 2021, the OCC, FRB and FDIC issued a joint final rule (joint Computer-Security Incident Notification rule) that requires banking organizations17 to notify their primary federal regulator of any "computer-security incident" that rises to the level of a "notification incident" within 36 hours of determining such an incident occurred.18 A computer-security incident is "an occurrence that results in actual harm to the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of an information system or the information that the system processes, stores, or transmits."19 Under the joint Computer-Security Incident Notification rule, not all computer-security incidents require notification; only those incidents that are notification incidents.
A notification incident "is a computer-security incident that has materially disrupted or degraded, or is reasonably likely to materially disrupt or degrade, a banking organization's 1) ability to carry out banking operations, activities or processes, or deliver banking products and services to a material portion of its customer base, in the ordinary course of business, 2) business line(s), including associated operation, services, functions and support, that upon failure would result in a material loss of revenue, profit or franchise value, or 3) operations, including associated services, functions and support, as applicable, the failure or discontinuance of which would pose a threat to the financial stability of the United States."20 System outages, successful ransomware attacks and successful distributed denial of service attacks are likely notification incidents.21 However, determining whether an incident is a notification incident is a fact-dependent analysis.
Notifications are not exempt from Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. Although the agencies received a comment requesting such exemption, they rejected the suggestion in lieu of their confidentiality rules. The agencies noted that FOIA requests will be handled on a case-by-case basis.22 Additionally, banking organizations should be careful not to disclose, and thereby potentially waive, privileged information as part of their notification to regulators.
The joint Computer-Security Incident Notification rule also does not replace or eliminate financial institutions' notification obligations under the agencies' Safeguards Rules. Under the Safeguards Rules, covered entities are to notify their primary federal regulator as soon as possible when they become aware of an incident involving unauthorized access to or use of sensitive customer information.23 As a result, the joint Computer-Security Incident Notification rule creates bifurcated notification obligations for certain financial institutions.
In addition to these notification rules, other government agencies require regulator notification for cybersecurity events. The NYDFS Cybersecurity Regulations require cybersecurity events be reported to the NYDFS within 72 hours.24 The SEC requires public companies to disclose material cybersecurity incidents or risks, and it requires Systems Compliance and Integrity (SCI) entities to report an "SCI event."25 The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) requires derivative clearing organizations to report an "exceptional event."26 Although the FTC currently does not require reporting, the agency announced its intention to adopt a notification requirement for cybersecurity incidents.27
The joint Computer-Security Incident Notification rule also requires bank service providers28 to notify banking organization customers as soon as possible of any "computer-security incident" that has materially disrupted or degraded, or is reasonably likely to materially disrupt or degrade, a covered service for four hours or more.29 Banking organizations are required to assess these notifications to determine whether they are notification incidents that need to be reported to their primary federal regulator. The joint Computer-Security Incident Notification rule becomes effective April 1, 2022, and enforceable on May 1, 2022.30
These various cybersecurity notification obligations are summarized below:

In 2021, the SEC brought enforcement actions on companies that failed to internally report cybersecurity incidents or risks to corporate decision-makers in a timely manner. Such internal disclosure controls are critical to ensure timely notification of cyber incidents as required by regulations.
Key Takeaways for 2022
As evidenced above, regulators are requiring notification for cybersecurity incidents and data breaches. The fact that the joint Computer-Security Incident Notification rule creates bifurcated notification obligations highlights the regulatory convolution in this area. Moreover, the FTC has announced its intentions to join the fray. As such, financial services companies should prepare to notify one or more regulators when they experience a cybersecurity incident.
The joint Computer-Security Incident Notification rule's 36-hour notification requirement creates a short window between the discovery of a cybersecurity incident and notification. The agencies recognize that the clock only starts upon a banking organization's determination that the incident is a "notification incident," and "the agencies anticipate that a banking organization would take a reasonable amount of time to determine that it has experienced a notification incident."31 However, this "reasonable amount of time to determine" standard will be subject to agency interpretation and hindsight. Moreover, as the SEC's recent enforcement actions concerning internal disclosure controls inform, regulators can be unforgiving to internal reporting delays.
Notifications to regulators potentially expose financial services companies to litigation and reputational risks. These notifications may be publicly discoverable through a FOIA request. In addition, statements made in these notifications could potentially impact any subsequent civil litigation against the financial services companies concerning the cybersecurity incidents, which are unlikely to be resolved at the time of the notification. Financial services companies also should be cautious not to include privileged communications or work product information in these notifications. Moreover, the determination that a cybersecurity incident requires notification often is a legal determination. As a result, financial services companies should consider including their counsel in assessing cybersecurity incidents and in notifying federal regulators of such incidents. The incident response plan also should identify the individual responsible for providing notification.
In addition, financial services companies should consider developing a robust internal disclosure system to ensure cybersecurity incidents are reported to corporate decision-makers and counsel almost immediately upon discovery. This is particularly necessary for banking organizations due to the 36-hour notification requirement. This internal disclosure system should be part of the written incident response plan. In addition, the financial services companies' IT team should be trained on the use and importance of this internal disclosure system, and the internal disclosure system should be tested to ensure effectiveness.
Develop Culture of Cybersecurity Compliance
Culture of Compliance
In 2021, the SEC and NYDFS brought enforcement actions against financial services companies for allegedly failing to comply with the agency's cybersecurity requirements. Moreover, Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco recently emphasized that the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) will evaluate a company's history of compliance issues in future enforcement actions.32 As enforcement actions related to cybersecurity standards increase, regulators likely will consider a company's compliance program and culture of compliance in their investigations and enforcement actions.
Key Takeaways for 2022
Cybercriminals are constantly evolving, and new, sophisticated cyberattacks will continue to occur in 2022. Because no IT system is impenetrable, some of these attacks will be successful. This past year, regulators have signaled their intentions to pursue enforcement actions against financial services companies for cybersecurity vulnerabilities. With mandatory notifications to government agencies, successful cyberattacks will bring regulatory scrutiny and investigations.
Companies should consider incorporating cybersecurity into their existing compliance programs, emphasizing and training IT professionals on cybersecurity compliance, developing robust internal controls for cybersecurity-related disclosures and developing effective methods to audit their cybersecurity compliance program. Fostering a culture of compliance and developing a cybersecurity compliance program is a highly effective way to avoid enforcement actions and to reduce potential penalties from such actions.
Both cyberattacks and regulators' cybersecurity enforcement actions will continue to increase in 2022. Financial services companies that want to protect themselves from cyberattacks and regulatory investigations should develop and implement comprehensive cybersecurity programs, design internal controls for immediate disclosure of cybersecurity incidents and risks, and foster a culture of cybersecurity compliance.

SCROLL RIGHT >>Biography
Itai Armon is a musician, composer, arranger, and multi-instrumentalist specializing in the Persian tar.
Itai Armon's life story is as diverse and eclectic as the music he creates. At first, he started playing the Flute and learning western classical music and jazz. Shortly afterwards, Itai chose living within the forests of the Western Galilee, and was exposed there, for the very first time, to Jewish and Kabbalah studies in Safed. Those studies led him, in fact, to his first encounter with ancient eastern music and the Maqam through the chants and prayers of the synagogue. Herein the seeds for the inseparable bond between the spiritual and musical aspects were planted.
At the end of a whole year of travelling throughout south america, Itai returned to Israel and joined several world music ensembles and music groups, and started learning the secrets of the Persian and Azeri music with the critically acclaimed composer and musicologist Piris Eliyahu, in addition to the art of the Persian Tar – his main instrument to this day.
His spiritual and musical wanderings are a key element of his creative process, and they accompany him all throughout his life: a journey to India for a better understanding of Indian music and culture, as well as musical gatherings in Crete, in which he had expanded his knowledge of eastern, and especially Iranian, Music; travels to Egypt, Greece and Turkey – all of which are the foundations to his inspiration and unique compositions.
Itai Armon's creation draws from his love for music, and it roots down towards the deep knowing of ancient middle eastern and central asian cultures and their connection with the traditions he gained through his journey. These two aside, the landscapes he witnessed in his life are reflected in the soundscapes he creates, which draw the listener into a vivid, lucid dream of melodies.
Armon accomplishes to paint with exceptional colors, figments of his imagination, and to tell a fascinating, emotional and unique story, needless of a single word. The absence of lyrics provides space and room for emotions that are beyond words, and reveals a pathway for the listeners to connect even deeper to his inner world.
Itai learned the ancient music and the Persian Tar with a number of different masters and teachers, in Israel and throughout the world. To name a few: Piris Eliyahu (Israel), Hooshang Farahani (Iran) and Khorush Ghazavian (Iran).
Itai is performing live, for the past decade, with several groups in Israel and all over the world, and took part of music festivals in India, as well as composing music for art installations, dance and theater.
In early 2016, his released his debut album, "Moments" – an original ethnic music album, and performing with the "Itai armon Ensemble" since. In April 2019, he released and album with the quartet "Brio", a musical act the combines world music with jazz and progressive rock.
In October 2019 he released his sophomore album called "Yaara" – original ethnic music inspired from the ancient maqams.
Itai Armon's debut album Moments features original ethnic music inspired by the diverse cultures, traditions, of the Mediterranean, Central Asia, as well as contemporary music. The unique combination of traditional instruments and modern arrangements creates a refreshing sound that draws the listener into a journey across varied landscapes and cultures to the intersection of ancient and new. Each piece represents a moment from the composer's life — from living in Safed, the Negev Desert and the Dead Sea, on to journeys in South America, India and the Near East, and back to his home in the hills of Jerusalem. Through Moments, we are all invited along for the trip.
Itai Armon's sophomore album was released in 2019.
The music in "Yaara" is a prayer , a cure, and an attempt to express our inner most places, those who cannot be put into words.
The exclusive blend of traditional eastern mediterranean music alongside western and modern musical instruments combined with up to date arrangements, create unique soundscapes, and lures the audience to
a multi-layered, eclectic and mesmerizing journey, which comes to life through dynamic landscapes.
This album is inspired by observing nature and its beauty and is recorded live, in order to preserve the original vivid spirit of music.
Inspiring Taqasim are carried out throughout the album, and intertwine harmonies to unusual beats and grooves, and vibrant melodies that combine east and west, ancient and modern. The variety of musical instruments added to this album is yet another part of its distinctive sound: The Turkish Cura and Bağlama, the Armenian Duduk, the Arabic Qanun alongside the Clarinet and Piano – all illustrate the musical diversity of the album "Yaara"
Brio is an instrumental quartet whose original music combines influences from modern Jazz to Middle-Eastern groove, utilizing Western harmonies complimented by captivating melodic lines inspired by the musical cultures of the Far East.
Brio's music features the Persian tar, flute, piano, electric bass, and drums. The quartet's exceptional chemistry creates an engaging and uniquely emotive sound.
Brio's debut album pushes musical boundaries with its eclectic combination of influences that are elegantly woven together, transporting listeners across cultures and exposing them to new melodies and rhythms from around the world.

Army Secretary Ryan D. McCarthy has authorized Guard troops safeguarding the U.S. Capitol in the wake of its Jan. 6 breach by violent supporters of President Donald J. Trump to carry lethal weapons, the District of Columbia National Guard said in a statement shared with Air Force Magazine.
These personnel were armed as of around 6 p.m. on Jan. 12, in response to a request from "federal authorities" that was given the go-ahead by McCarthy, according to the statement.
"National Guard members are postured to meet the requirements of the supported civil authorities, up to and including protective equipment and being armed if necessary," the statement said. "The public's safety is our top priority."
Earlier in the week, National Guard Bureau Chief Army Gen. Daniel R. Hokanson told reporters Guard troops generally travel with their full array of safety equipment—including their weapons—in case situations on the ground deem it necessary, Air Force Magazine previously reported. However, he noted at the time, decisions about whether troops deployed to the National Capital Region would be asked to carry their weapons were in the hands of "senior leadership," and those determinations would grow out of conversations between NGB, federal agencies, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and law enforcement.
It was not immediately clear whether this decision will extend to all Guard personnel who are being mobilized to the National Capital Region in the lead-up to the presidential inauguration—whose numbers may reach 15,000—or if it just applies to those currently safeguarding the U.S. Capitol grounds.
The current deployment marks the first time since the Civil War that Guard troops have taken temporary shelter within the U.S. Capitol, Bloomberg News' Erik Wasson reported on Twitter.
Congressional reporters from other outlets also posted photos of the unorthodox camping quarters on the social platform.
"Photos have circulated this morning showing National Guard troops resting in the Capitol building," the DCNG later clarified in a Jan. 13 statement shared with Air Force Magazine. "This area of the Capitol has been designated a rest area for National Guard members when they are on duty but between shifts. To be clear, this [is] not where they are lodging when off duty. Being present is the first step in ensuring the safety of our citizens and our Nation's Capital. Our security personnel work in shifts and rest when they can as others stand watch."
The photos have inspired grassroots efforts to gather donations of "comfort items" for troops deployed within the District, but the NGB asked the public to refrain from these well-intended gestures, according to a release.
"While we appreciate the many offers and people who care about our Soldiers and Airmen, we are not logistically able to accept donations of any kind," NGB wrote.
Editor's Note: This story was updated on Jan. 13 at 4:16 p.m. EST to include new comment from the DCNG and at 6:37 p.m. with additional information from the National Guard Bureau.

Once again, Purdue's women's golf program is in the NCAA Championships. It is the 18th time the women's program has reached the NCAA Championships with runner-up finishes in 2007 and 2011 to how with the 2010 National Championship. Maria Hernandez was also the individual National Champion in 2009.
This year's championships will be May 17-22 at Blessings Golf Club in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Purdue is one of 24 teams qualified for the 72 hole stroke play, then the top 8 will play match play to decide the title.
Purdue qualified by finishing fourth at two over par in the Norman, Oklahoma Regional. Micaela Farah finished tied for fifth at 3 under par while reigning Big Ten champion Melati Putri was one stroke behind her. Texas won the regional at nine under par while Florida and Wake Forest were ahead of Purdue at even par. Purdue was seeded 8th in the field, so its advancement as a top 6 team was a minor surprise.

Apparently, there is this really deadly virus called COVID-19 and that's why I'm trapped in my house. Ever heard of it? Of course you have and of course you are bored out of your mind in quarantine right now because you do not want to get the virus. At least that's the case for me. So, out of pure boredom I have decided to try and research and find different things to do for fun and getting caught up on things that need to be done in order to achieve my different goals after graduating from Catawba. After all, there's only so much Netflix you can watch without your head starting to hurt.
I thought of a few things, myself, that you may want to consider working on as college students. First, your resume, this is something that is normally time consuming to work on and get in order especially with our normally busy lives. Therefore, now you have time to perfect your resume just the way you want. Secondly, I'm not sure about the rest of you, but since switching to online classes my workload has seemed to triple. However, I now have the time to work even harder on assignments in order to achieve the grade that I want to achieve. Therefore, take your time on your assignments, after all you have the time to.
I also talked to a couple people to get their ideas on what to do trapped in this quarantine bubble. First, I asked my brother, who lives about five hours from us, "What are you doing to stay occupied in quarantine?" His response to me was, "I have a four-year old." Fair enough. He laughed a little bit and went on to say, that people should be using this time to do things that they aren't normally able to do, spend time with their family. He said we should use this time to realize how blessed we are and not take the time for granted. Even if it's just being able to eat dinner with your family every night, that may be something that most people aren't normally able to do.
Secondly, I talked to my friend who I haven't seen in a few weeks about her occupied time. She said that she is bored out of her mind. However, she has tried to use the time to be productive, decluttering things, and just overall said that she had been, "doing things that she had put on the back burner." She also said that she has been able to spend some more time with her family during the quarantine. She said that her family and her have developed a routine every night. Every night she has been making dinner for her family and then they play a board game afterwards. She said that growing up, this is something that she always wanted to do with her family and now she has the chance to.
I understand that for most of us this may be a very boring time in our lives. However, I believe that if you are blessed to have food, a house to be in, and a family to be with right now, then nobody should be complaining. Do not take this time for granted. Perfect your resume, take the time to work hard and achieve an A and do things with your family that you have been wanting to do. Overall, do not put your life on hold because of this virus, choose to accomplish things you haven't been able to because of your busy lifestyle.

Hello Folks. Have you, like me, been wowed by the fall colors this year? I don't know whether the foliage is more exceptional this year than in previous ones. It seems to me it is. But then I also wonder whether it's me that's changed, gotten older and more sentimental, and more aware of the fleeting colors and birdsong and our remarkable natural world.

There was smoke, lights, cold, rain, and confusion.
Smiling did not cease and desire was not shallow.
Small beginnings and somehow all at once.
Head first with a heart surrounded by full guard.
"Impossible" she said.
"Never" she proclaimed.
Until maybe became a thought and sincerity poured on her shoulders and trickled down her spine.
There has been the gentle crunch of gravel under foot while hearts and minds raced.
Breath and movement together.
Reality lost to the welcome embrace of dreams and fantasy.
Angels held close to her chest, memories of the sweetest gift.
Tangles of limbs and jungles of fears conquered by two spirits open.
Long moments of silence are filled with burgeoning trust and adoration.
A canopy of trees, the swish of water, the goosebumps brought on by a breeze.
Life more awake or deeper into this dream.
All she had to do was be honest, be seen, and patiently wait.

The first stone lighthouses date back to the Roman age, and developed during the Renaissance and Baroque periods, to then take their current form and shape between the 18th and 19th centuries. Bibione Lighthouse is a majestic, white, early 20th building that rises from the mouth of the Tagliamento river, where the river meets the sea, creating a green area of great naturalistic interest, where Mediterranean flora combines with Alpine flora to create unexpected landscapes at every turn.
Trip to Bibione Lighthouse is one of the easiest bike trips. But there are many other possibilities for bike trips in Bibione. Because BIBIONE IS A CYCLING PARADISE
Do you like pedalling leisurely with the family on shady cycle paths in the heart of nature? Do you prefer to seek out pristine sites on your mountain bike? Or do you want to get some miles under your belt on the road? Bibione has something to offer cyclists of all kinds.
All cyclists love riding their bikes, but they can go about it in very different ways. Bibione wants to offer "bespoke" holidays to all of its guests, so it has catered to their varying needs by creating cycle paths and routes to suit everyone.
There is a cycle path running all of the way through the resort, with a circular route divided into two parts: the Adriatic Promenade, which is parallel to the beach and dotted with a delightful array of flowerbeds, palm trees and oleanders, and the town cycle path, which is a safe and enjoyable way of getting into town.
There are also nature trails for mountain bikes that lead to enchanting spots like the old lighthouse or out into the countryside, where there are numerous farms and wineries. In addition, it is possible to follow some marvellous routes to local events, museums and villages. The length of the routes varies from 6 to 12 kilometres.
Cyclists who like a tougher challenge can venture into the magical atmosphere of the River Tagliamento and see the old fishermen's homes known as "casoni" in the Terzo Bacino area, or head inland on the Cesarolo circular route. These trails can be up to 70 km in length, but the landscape is truly breathtaking.
Visitors to Bibione can choose between a number of guides which contain all of the routes and any other essential information. They include the Bibione Cyclo Tourist Guide and Bike in Hand, which has some interesting recommendations for accommodation.

Hot and humid again. Pretty nice yesterday, although hot, the humidity was lower and in the shade it was very pleasant.
I got some pickups done, and took some stuff to storage. Oh, and I used the dumpster at my secondary location to get rid of more debris from the BOL.
Today the plan is to get another pickup done, then move stuff from storage to the auction, and get an item for my non-prepping hobby swap meet sale this weekend.
I might make a run up to the BOL depending on timing and how I feel. That would put me up there overnight and part of Thursday. If I'm there, I might as well do some work… and if I'm doing work, I will do it in the garden. I've got a whole load ready to go up anyway.
Meanwhile, the world turns. The stock market might be finally reacting to the other stuff going on, and the thing that can not go on forever will come to an end. Remember that in 2008 the collapsing market values were a stairstep down, a pause, then again, and again, and again. There were mini recoveries, but the trend was down. I'm hoping against it, but I think this might be time. It is well overdue by most accounts. We'll certainly know soon enough.
No matter what happens, as many folks have been saying in one way or another, stacks will help.
So stack, like your life depends on it. Because it might.

New data released by the Maccabi Healthcare Services has confirmed the effectiveness of the Pfizer coronavirus vaccine.
As of Thursday, only 254 individuals out of the 416,900 who were already a week after the second Pfizer shot – the time where the immunity is considered to kick in – got infected with the virus, the organization reported. Moreover, those who were found to be positive only had light symptoms, with just four of them being hospitalized, all of them in light condition.
Over the same period of time, some 12,944 new cases of COVID-19 emerged in the control group of some 778,000 people having a diverse health profile.
A comparison between the data from the two groups shows that the vaccine is 91% effective seven days or more after the second injection is administered.
From a segmentation of the infections that did occur, it appears that the immunity increases as the days go by. Among the 254 people who contracted the virus, 76 of them were infected after seven days, 44 on the eight day, and 24 on the ninth day. Between day 22 and 24 – when the test period ended – no one was infected.
According to the studies conducted by Pfizer, the vaccine had an efficacy of about 95%, which is considered very high.
With some 2.5 million members, Maccabi is the second largest health fund in Israel. About 900,000 of its customers have already received the first shot, and about 500,000 the second one.
"The data continue to be very encouraging and to show that the effectiveness of the vaccine is high and stable," Dr. Anat Aka Zohar, head of Maccabi's Information and Digital Health Division said. "The findings clearly indicate that as the days go by after the second dose, the immunity becomes stronger."
She also emphasized that the vaccine does not only protect against infection but also again developing more severe symptoms.

text: It's fairly recent that the idea of solo travel really worked its way into my life. From about the age of 8 or so, I was already starting to create a bit of a mental bucket list of the places around the world I wanted to visit. These were places I learned about in school or that I heard about from friends and family or were settings in my favourite books and video games. Like so many people, I had long been waiting for 'the right time' to venture out whether this meant finding a travel companion or learning a new language first or making sure I had enough money. As I would soon discover, the fact of the matter is that 'right time' doesn't actually exist. It's as simple as choosing a time and a place and just going. If you've never traveled alone before, I'm adamant in saying it's something I think everybody should do. Never in my life have I felt such a sense of freedom, and self-confidence in navigating new places. It's absolutely true what people say about getting lost in an unfamiliar place is perhaps the best way to find yourself. Only you dictate where you're going to go and what you're going to do. You're able to give yourself the freedom to let your curiosity run rampant and truly explore a place, the people and the culture on your terms. In return you will undoubted connect with a place on a whole new level, meet incredible people (locals or other travelers like you) and give yourself a one-of-a-kind life changing experience.

Yeah right, do you really think I know the answer to that one? If I did I would be one very rich lady. However I am always asked about ways to get things going. Whether you're excited to just meet your baby, fed up of getting bigger and heavier or you're trying to avoid induction, I do have some words of wisdom to share with you, which may help. I recently shared these tips with a good friend and it seemed to do the trick for her, baby Molly arrived the next day in fact (so I'm totally claiming that one).
1) Confidence breeds relaxation, and relaxation breeds oxytocin - So, chill out, you've got this! The baby will come when it's ready... and if you don't believe me I'll explain how to you. Your baby really is the one who decides when to be born. Mother Nature has it all planned, when your baby's lungs are ready they release a protein, this travels up to the mums brain which triggers a cascade of hormones to be released. It's these that then start the process of labour, initially with softening your cervix. We really are finely tuned machines.
2) Talking of oxytocin, Have you got any? Cortisol kills our love hormone, so don't let people stress you out - Fuck em! Lie about your EDD to everyone (yes I didn't even tell my mother) it helps to reduce those stress inducing chasing messages 'baby here yet?'
3) Enjoy an evening with ya baby Daddy, once a newborn is around it'll be a while. So go to dinner, watch a movie, have a nap together.... get kissing 😉
4) Watch birth videos and read positive stories...... look at those tiny newborns and visualise yourself doing it, just the way you've imagined. Take a look at Tell Me a Good Birth Story and start to feel ready to have your day. Re-read the first point.... confidence breeds relaxation, which breeds oxytocin production.
I've added some more birth video links at the bottom for you
5) Have some me time, take a bath, go shopping, get a massage, see your friends for mani/pedis, as soon as you make plans your baby will break them trust me! And this is a habit that doesn't go away either. I even have a £15 off discount code for Blow LTD that you can use - BEAU15 so get planning and you're welcome.
6) Get ya rabbit out... (yes I said it) masterbate, sex is never appealing when you are this pregnant but orgasms can help... so maybe spend tomorrow morning in bed ☺
7) Dates, not the kind I have mentioned above but eating them. Have you ever heard of six dates a day in the last 4 weeks of pregnancy? Well this one might actually work, there are even studies to show its effectiveness the key one being in Iran but I won't bore you with that (it's another post). In short, dates contain a high percentage of carbohydrates along with fat and 15 different types of salts and minerals, proteins and vitamins, it is these that they think help to ripen the cervix meaning women's labours are more efficient and in the trial those that ate the dates had less intervention and were closer to their EDD when spontaneous labour happened.
8) Pump it up. Once you reach the 40 week mark you may want to avoid induction and using your breast pump can help with this. As with lots of my points it's all about creating that oxytocin party in your body and by stimulating our nipples we can trick our body into producing a huge wave of this love hormone. Just five minutes a day on each breast can give your body a boost.
If you haven't got one yet and plan to breastfeed and pump, this is my favourite and you can even click on the image to purchase from Amazon
9) Aromatherapy, Clary Sage to be exact. This oil has oestrogen-regulating and stimulating properties, because of its similar chemical structure to oestrogen and is thought to have a stimulating effect on pregnant women, encouraging the uterus to contract. It's advised not to used before 37 weeks of pregnancy but I would wait until even later if you can. I've found the best use is in a diffuser with a couple of drops of oil and water.
This is my favourite and again you can click to purchase from Amazon
10) Walking, yep it's true exercising during later pregnancy really is beneficial. It isn't all, naps on the sofa and eating cake, though of course I highly recommend this too. Think of your pelvis like a sieve, if you had flour in it you'd shake it right? To help you baby to make its way down we want that pelvis moving, making space for your baby's head. So walking, yoga, bouncing on your swiss ball.... all great for getting your baby's head engaged. You body needs the combination of your uterus contracting along with the pressure of your baby's head on your cervix for dilation.
Lastly, look forward to it... I know I sound insane but I'm actually jealous you're just about to give birth - it's the most amazing, empowering thing you can ever do. I would do it again tomorrow, giving birth really is one of the best days of your life.

We're all rooting for Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux but we can't believe they haven't got hitched yet!
The couple got engaged over a year ago and have seemed on cloud nine ever since hooking up back in 2011.
But it seems how happy they are now is holding them back from tying the knot.
Jennifer is reportedly concerned that marriage will change them and potentially ruin their relationship.
After everything that happened with Brad Pitt she's scared that they'll go the same way.
She expected her marriage to Brad to be for life and the way it fell apart has left her sceptical about the effect marriage can have on a perfectly happy relationship.
A source told Heat magazine: "Jen loves Justin and really wants to be his wife, but she has an overwhelming fear of it ruining their relationship.
"She's now having therapy and using meditation to help with the wedding anxiety.
"Brad [Pitt] was the love of her life and it ended up in such a bitter public divorce - it's scarred her."
She previously said in an interview with US Glamour that if she could advise her thirty-year-old self she would say: "Thirties. Go to therapy. Clean up all of the s**t. Clean up all of the toxins and the noise."
After spending so much time as half of a couple that didn't work out, Jen would have told herself: "Understand who you are. Educate yourself on the self.
"You can undo a lot of things. If you're not happy, you can become happy."
Sounds like she's doing all she can to get on board for her second shot at marital bliss.
It had been previously believed that the cause of the delay of their wedding had been down to work commitments and Justin dragging his heels.
There has also been apparent debate over where the couple should live once they're man and wife.
Jen is a California girl while Justin loves New York.
It seems geography could be the least of their worries! What do you think? Tweet us @SofeminineUK

Davis, Laura. 2019. "Women Peace and Security: Adrift in Policy and Practice." Feminist Legal Studies 27 (1): 95-107.
Author: Laura Davis
This comment refects on how the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda has been translated into policy and put into practice by the European Union and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Although the WPS agenda has enabled many gains by women peacebuilders, this comment identifes important challenges from these two very diferent contexts. First, situating WPS policy areas within a broader feminist political economy analysis demonstrates how little infuence the WPS agenda has across government. Second, the WPS agenda is being (mis)used to promote heteronormative, patriarchal understanding of 'gender', stripped of any power dynamics and excluding any gender identities that do not conform. The result, then, is that WPS policies and practice are adrift in the patriarchal policy mainstream.
Topics: Feminisms, Feminist Political Economy, Gender, Gendered Power Relations, Patriarchy, Peacebuilding, Peace and Security, UN Security Council Resolutions on WPS Regions: Africa, Central Africa, Europe Countries: Democratic Republic of the Congo

I've got a vegan Mrs Fields Knock Off Cookie recipe for you! Bake these delicious chocolate chip cookies and then save some for your holiday parties!! They freeze beautifully and stay nicely at room temperature for about 5 days. You will never know these are vegan and gluten free!! Check out how we made them in the photos below and then print the recipe below the photos.
Best Ever Mrs Fields Knock Off Cookie Recipe
Choc Chip vegan & gluten free
Recipe for Best Ever Mrs Fields knock off cookies, Vegan and Gluten Free
Best Ever Vegan Mrs Fields knock off cookies
- 2 flax "eggs" recipe below
- 6 tablespoons warm nut milk of choice we use a cashew/almond blend
- 2 tablespoons flax meal ground flax seeds
- 1 cup soft/liquid coconut oil I would plan to use 1 cup and then take about 2 tablespoons back out.
- 2 tbsp of milk again the cashew/almond blend
- 1.5 cups packed brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups unbleached gluten free flour
- ¾ teaspoon Himalayan salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup mixed mini and chunk dairy free chocolate bits
- Start by mixing your flax meal and warm nut milk. Allow to rest and thicken for 5 to 10 minutes while you get everything else together.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Using an electric mixer, add the soft/liquid coconut oil, sugars, vanilla, additional 2 tablespoons of nut milk, salt and flax eggs and mix on medium speed until smooth.
- Slowly add in the flour, baking soda and baking powder until thick and even. The batter might seem a little crumbly, this is perfectly alright. If you are concerned, you could add a pinch more nut milk at a time until it seems right.
- Mix in the dairy free chocolate bits.
- Cover baking sheets with parchment paper (not wax paper) and evenly space balls of the batter.
- Bake for pretty much exactly 9 minutes, after the first tray you'll know if you need a little more or less time based off of your oven. But overall, 9 minutes seems to be the magic number, the cookies will likely still look a bit under done-this is the path to the perfectly chewy cookies inside with a slight crisp edge.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the tray for a few minutes before transferring to a clean, cool counter.
- These freeze beautifully and have stayed fresh quite nicely at room temp for about 5 days.

I just listened to a discussion on MSNBC among Latinx and Black leaders regarding the current social media attempts to discourage their people from voting.
Creating confusion, it's called. Creating distrust and division.
Which reminded me of my reaction to the segments in the Mueller Report detailing the Russian anti-election operations designed specifically to suppress votes in our multitude of minority communities.
Or, rather, the designation of "minority" will be transferred to me and others like me. As it is now, huge swaths of my city are majority Black, Latinx and Asian. Since I always use public transportation when I travel distances beyond the capacities of my feet, I'm so cool with this I don't really notice it anymore, except when I want to. And when I do, I love it.
When I read the Mueller Report, what most alarmed and offended me were the Russian social media operations specifically targeting U.S. minority groups believed to vote overwhelmingly Democratic or progressive, seeking to create antagonism to Hillary Clinton, encouraging them to vote either for a third-party candidate, or to support Bernie Sanders, or to be so disgusted they wouldn't vote at all.
Here are a few examples of many Russian postings constructed to stir up anger among specific minorities, as recorded in one Mueller indictment:
"On or about November 3, 2016, Defendants and their co-conspirators purchased an advertisement to promote a post on the Instagram account "Blacktivist" that read in part: 'Choose peace and vote for Jill Stein. Trust me, it's not a wasted vote.'"
My comment: It wasn't a "wasted vote." It was a catastrophic vote.
"By in or around early November 2016, Defendants and their co-conspirators used the 'United Muslims of America' social media accounts to post anti-vote messages such as: 'American Muslims [are] boycotting elections today, most of the American Muslim voters refuse to vote for Hillary Clinton because she wants to continue the war on Muslims in the middle east and voted yes for invading Iraq.'"
I had a reaction:
We as a nation have a disgraceful history of slavery, of segregation, and of denigrating and mistreating new ethnic groups who migrate here. We also have a parallel history of complex assimilation into an American "culture," which grants each of us a self-determined and fluid multiple identity beyond stating "I am American."
I, for one, am a second-generation American, a New Yorker, a secular Jew, whose grandparents emigrated from Poland, Ukraine and France. That the Russians would perceive my identities – and the multiple identities of Blacks – as exploitable weaknesses infuriates me.
Our multiple identities are our strength and should be our ebullience. Never should our self-identification be corrupted, manipulated, turned inward into a passive object for cynics, let alone foreign entities, brandishing fake news and agitation through fake names.
Do you sense I'm still furious?
And now that Blacks and Latinx are being targeted again…I'm even more furious. Boiling, raging mad.

While Monday is the official first day of fall the best thing about Chicago is that summer days usually extend way into September. It's 80 degrees today and I just spent the afternoon at Wrigley Field with Shane watching the Cubs clinch the NL Central League title. Yay!
When my sisters and I were in Ireland I drank a fruit smoothie that was so good I actually took a photo of the ingredients on the back of the bottle. I've modified the "recipe" here featuring summer's berries and fall's fresh apple cider that I bought at the Green City Market with my friend Julie and her adorable children Paige and Nicholas.
1 banana
16 raspberries
1/3 cup blueberries
1/2 cup farm fresh apple cider
These are probably the easiest instructions I've ever written. Wash your berries under running water. Put all ingredients in the blender and blend until smooth. Pour into a glass and enjoy the change of seasons.
Cheese-tastic side note: While at the Green City Market buying cider and berries I met Stephanie and Dale, my "top" Top Chef favorites and local Chicagoans. Man, I love those guys. Can't wait until their restaurants open!
