2021 Readiness: Balancing Security in a Post-COVID World
Dec 9 2020
5:00 pm
60 mins
Diana Kelley | Mark Weatherford | Ted Harrington | Amir Shaked
Earlier this year many companies experienced an incredible shift to fully remote work almost overnight, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This accelerated the "digital transformation" journey for many companies compressing what was a multi-year timeline into a few months and making 2020 different than any other previous year. In this episode we'll explore how the balance between security, privacy and productivity was tipped this year, and what can we expect to see in 2021 as some, but not all, organizations head back to office work with a post-pandemic mindset.
The audience will hear from CISOs and Security Directors about how this year was different, what they're going to do differently going forward, and what they expect (or have already seen) as organizations get back to pre-COVID levels.
Topics covered:
- 2020 in review
- The hard lesson that a mobile workforce is not the same as a remote workforce
- How the attack surface expanded and what CISOs are doing to ensure risk doesn't expand too
- How digital transformation sped up and what they meant for security, privacy and productivity
- During the speedy journey to the cloud - what mistakes were made?
- Lessons learned that will be carried forward for security teams
- What CISOs are doing to prepare for whatever 2021 may bring
- Mark Weatherford, Chief Strategy Officer and Board Member, National Cybersecurity Center
- Amir Shaked - VP, R&D, PerimeterX
- Ted Harrington, Executive Partner, Independent Security Evaluators [ISE]
This episode is part of The (Security) Balancing Act original series with Diana Kelley. We welcome viewer participation and questions during this interactive panel session.

Life and times of a CISO in a web app world
Oct 27 2020
61 mins
Malcolm Harkins Cymatic Chief Security & Trust Officer
Trust is the cornerstone of the digital economy. In this talk Malcolm will cover what we need to do to generate trust. He will discuss the current state of trust in the web apps we use as well as the ones we provide to customers. He will cover today's reality with data from across the industry and his own experiences discussing the challenges/difficulties the CISO/CSO faces in securing web applications.
Next, using the "9-box of controls" paradigm from the 2nd edition of his book, Managing Risk & Information Security, Malcolm will explain the economic principle of efficiency and how our current approach to information security is not only economically inefficient but also jeopardizes our ability to engender the trust we so desperately need. He will dive into the total cost of controls in the web app world: what it looks like today and where it will go if we do not transform our current security architecture.
Throughout this webinar, Malcolm will share insight gleaned from the data, frameworks, and stories from industry experts to draw valuable lessons CISOs can bring back to their teams. In the end, he will offer hope and a roadmap to help participants transform their web application security to deliver real business outcomes that generate trust organically.

When developing an iOS app, you can specify a set of "launch images" within Xcode. Apple's iOS Human Interface document informs the developer that these are required for every app, although this must be referring to the "app store polish" because for building and running the app, there is no technical requirement for having these images – apps run just fine without them. The biggest problem I have with the launch images, or rather, Apple's design of them is this, from the guidelines:
Avoid using your launch image as an opportunity to provide:
Because users are likely to switch among applications frequently, you should make every effort to cut launch time to a minimum, and you should design a launch image that downplays the experience rather than drawing attention to it.
- An "application entry experience," such as a splash screen
- An About window
- Branding elements, unless they are a static part of your application's first screen
Generally, design a launch image that is identical to the first screen of the application.
The iOS calculator's launch image is essentially just a screenshot of the calculator (although there is a slight color difference between the calculator "screen" color in the image from the actual UI) – which invariably causes me to start punching numbers into the calculator on an image because it looks and feels like the real UI.
Safari's launch image includes the header and footer. In the header are the address and search boxes. Because these look and feel like the real app, I almost always tap on them to try to focus, but in reality, I'm attempting to focus by tapping on an image. This doesn't make it feel like it loaded any faster just because it looks like safari is up and running, it makes it feel slower because it's not responding to my taps.
Personally, the completely blank screen you get if you leave the launch images out of the app, because it lets me know it's loading, but without excess elaborate splash screens.

The Red Mason Bee was chosen as the 2019 Insect of the Year by the environmental organization NABU for Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. It is the most common mason bee in Germany.
When we think about bees, we usually think of the busy honey bee. But there are actually many species of bees. Not all of them live in colonies. They are often solitary.
In the RISM catalog, we find bees that buzz in German, English, and Italian ;-)
There are 71 entries for Biene.
English bees are best found through the Advanced Search in the field Title, though the search is made more difficult by the archaic spelling of the verb be.
The Italian bee "l'ape" can be found about 50 times in the RISM catalog.
We are looking forward to the bees next spring!

As it turns out, Jason Fry of FAFIF had a way, way more awesome time at Star Wars night. He actually got to be a stormtrooper. I guess I'm only really surprised by the fact that he didn't already own stormtrooper armor.

Chase Utley voted 2nd meanest MLB player. Apparently every Met player voted for him, cause they are still upset about him sliding hard into second base.
Now…if any of the Mets had a pair they would have slid hard into 2nd too…or worn the hats they should have worn on sunday. Can't believe Todd Zeile is tuffer than any member of the current mets team.
by the way…i've was pretty much dead on with my predictions for where the NL east would finish up. i got 1 thru 5 correct. Yay me.

Boiler water treatment is a method that focuses on removing or chemically modifying substances that can potentially damage boilers. Numerous treatment methods are used at different sites to avoid corrosion and scale formation. External treatment of raw water supply intended for use within a boiler focuses on removing impurities from the water before it reaches the boiler. Internal treatment within the boiler focuses on limiting the tendency of water to corrode the boiler and maintaining the impurities in forms that are least likely to affect operations before being removed from the boiler in boiler blowdown.
Publisher's analysts forecast the global boiler water treatment market to grow at a CAGR of 3.13% during the period 2016-2020.

How does a person make sure the million dollar idea does not slip past him? In the video I explain that ideas do not always come at the PERFECT time.Many think their idea is so simple that it MUST have been invented already. This happens particularly when you think of an idea in an industry you are not familiar with, for instance the dental or medical sector. This is 90% of the time not true. Many inventors become their own worst enemy and put their dreams into hibernation. I have seen this happen hundreds of times as a Miami Patent Attorney after consultations with clients in numerous states such as California, Texas, Nevada, Montana and other locales in Florida such as West Palm Beach, Naples, Fort Lauderdale and Boca Raton. I counter this self-doubt by highlighting a client of mine who started out his journey as a medical college dropout and ended up earning over $100 million for his invention.

Congrats on your success with CEEK VR Mary. It took a little time, but never a doubt in my mind that you would succeed... again!
It was an excellent interview. Congrats on your success!
Why telling that you have been founded by your costumer ? Why not talking about the CEEK VR token you created ? A token to rise money without delivering a thing on your so called roadmap that has not been updated since 2 years on ceek's website. We are a bunch of old supporters that has been scamed by ceek.

It seems as though I'm on a never-ending hunt for the best volumizing mascara. My latest trial has been with Fusion Beauty's LashFusion XXL Extreme Volume and Long-Term Growth Mascara* ($28 @ Murale). This mascara promises not only immediate volume, but also long-term lash growth!
Unique complex of ingredients offers extreme volumizing effects and encourages lash growth resulting in 3X more volume in just 15 days. Infused with natural emollient resin for extra volume and lengthening benefits.
Maximum body, flexibility + powerful revitalizing action for instantly luscious, healthy looking lashes! Distinct teardrop shaped brush offers extreme volume and flawless precision with rich, intense colour for outstanding definition." - Murale
Fusion Beauty's LashFusion XXL Extreme Volume and Long-Term Growth Mascara comes packaged in a sleek black tube with silver labeling. The wand is just massive - they're not lying when they call it "XXL"! I didn't realize how large this brush was until I put it up to my eye. I can easily grab every single lash with one coat! The tapered end of the wand lets you get those tiny lashes at the inner corner of your eye, without making a mess.
This mascara holds my natural curl, and gives great length to my lashes. I'm happy with the amount of volume that the mascara gives my lashes, and I can build that up with multiple coats. What you see in the photos below is just one coat of this mascara. This formula dries quickly, and I love that it doesn't make my lashes feel hard or crunchy. My lashes still feel fairly soft and flexible!
With continued use I'm really excited to see what this nourishing formula does for my lashes! If you want a mascara that gives great volume, length, and curl, then I think that this is one worth checking out. It is a bit pricey, but I think that the nourishing ingredients are worth the extra dollars. Have you tried any mascaras from LashFusion?

It may seem a bit like stating the obvious, but children who show up for school do a lot better than children who don't.
The surprise is just how few absences it takes to make a difference. Missing just two days of school in a month is a warning sign for academic trouble. Do the math. Two days in a month translates into about 10 per cent of school days missed -- the equivalent of a little over 15 days a year.
Nationwide more than 6.5 million students – or 13% of all students – are chronically absent. More than half of those chronically absent students are in elementary or middle school.
Does your school have a chronic absence problem? You might be tempted to think not. According to a 2016 report, Preventing Missed Opportunity, "half of the nation's chronically absent students are concentrated in just 4 percent of its districts."
Savvy schools and communities treat school absences like a "bat signal." Missing school is a sign of serious trouble.
Complacency is a bad plan for this serious issue. The same report found that "Nine out of 10 U.S. school districts experience some level of chronic absenteeism." Missing school is a major warning signal for all kinds of trouble. Savvy schools and communities treat absences like a "bat signal". When schools effectively interrupt patterns of absenteeism, they may be able to detect, interrupt and prevent serious issues.
America's new education law, the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), elevates the critical link between chronic absence and student success. Among other things, it requires states to report chronic absence rates for their schools. In California, chronic absence is one of the key elements of the new accountability system that evaluates schools and districts.
The Ed100 Parent Leader Guide on Attendance and School Climate makes it easy for you to let parents at your school understand the importance of attendance, and do something about it.
It's all here: Lessons, sample email invitations, discussion prompts, and resources including handouts and additional reading. Suggestions for Taking Action include:
The organization Attendance Works is strongly focused on the problems of absenteeism and what to do about it. Here's an example of the kind of resources they can provide:

It's A Wonderful Life (NBC, 7 p.m.): There's a simple reason this film has endured: It's a stone-cold classic, just the right mixture of holiday schmaltz and bleak fairy tale. Frank Capra might have made a better film, but this is his most timeless. Jimmy Stewart is always a one-man charm offensive, but he meets his match in Donna Reed, and there are enough quotable lines and indelible images to mount a multimedia gallery display.

Serena Williams just wrote on Twitter: "I want to sincerely apologize FIRST to the lines woman, Kim Clijsterst, USTA & mostly tennis fans everywhere. Thank you all for your support." In a lengthier apology on her blog she says:
Hey guys!!!
I want to amend my press statement of yesterday, and want to make it clear as possible - I want to sincerely apologize FIRST to the lines woman, the USTA, and mostly tennis fans everywhere for my inappropriate outburst. I'm a woman of great pride, faith and integrity, and I admit when I'm wrong.
I need to make it clear to all young people that I handled myself inappropriately and it's not the way to act — win or lose, good call or bad call in any sport, in any manner.
I like to lead by example. We all learn from experiences both good and bad, I will learn and grow from this, and be a better person as a result.
As mentioned earlier, Williams is being fined $10,000 and an investigation is under way to determine whether there should be additional punishment.

July has brought a host of goodies from Craftangles!
I am playing with some of them today!
You will see a lot of projects to inspire you in the days to come!!
For my first card, I decided to follow the masking stencils technique as shown by
I started out by taping my stencil to the blue card base from behind.
This keeps the stencil and the card in place and I then don't have to worry about the stencil shifting.
I went for a tone on tone look and used Memento Blue Danube ink to create a background with the
I then used an old left over scalloped heart mask to mask of a portion of a piece of white cardstock.
Again, I fixed the stencil to the card panel from behind.
I then started colouring the card stock with Memento Dandelion ink, Tim Holtz Dried Marigold distress ink and Tim Holtz Fired Brick distress ink.
Once done, I applied the negative mask to the card, and removed the masked heart.
I then lightly coloured the un stencilled heart using the same colours I used for stencilling.
Once done, I flipped the stencil onto the panel (it was easy to do as it was still taped to the card stock from behind..hence placing it in exactly the same position on the card as before)
I then went over the stencil with the same colours, layering them till they were quite dark.
Once the mask was removed, I was left with this beautifully stencilled panel.
I trimmed it using simon Says Stamp stitched square dies and adhered it to the blue card base that I had prepared earlier.
I finished the card with a sentiment from the Craftangles 'Happy Rakhi Bro' stamp set, a die cut sentiment from Penny Black, some black jute twine from May Arts Ribbon and
a gold bell from my stash.
For the second card, I have a fun process video which I hope you will enjoy.
I used the Craftangles 'Fish Net' and 'Roses all around' stencils along with the brand new
I finished the card with some Craftangles emerald green sequins and a sentiment from Stampendous.
I just love how the rose pops!
For the third card, Here is the process video for you to enjoy!
I used a combination of Craftangles 'Abstract circles' and 'Roses all around' stencils, with Tim Holtz 'Fired brick' distress ink.
I finished the card with a heat embossed sentiment on the newly released Craftangles Vellum.
For the last card, I have used the newly released Craftangles Art Spray 'Bamboo brown' and the Craftangles 'Sunburst' stencil.
Here, in the process video you can see how many backgrounds you can create with just one or two sprays of ink. These Art sprays are going to prove real value for money!!!
Here are the 5 beautiful backgrounds that I was able to create using the Craftangles Art sprays.
And here is the beautiful card that came out of it!!
I used a Winnie and Walter 'hugs' die cut, which I coloured using TimHoltz distress inks.
I used a combination of sentiments from Winnie and Walter and Simon Says Stamp
to create the greeting.
Its a simple card, but, packs a punch, no?
I added some highlights with white gel pen to create some interest.
I really enjoyed writing this post for you…Hope you enjoyed yourself too!
Sorry, its a bit long!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Have a great day!

Collaborative design methods play a key role in aligning team members towards a shared and strategic project vision. In this article we describe how user stories stimulate and facilitate discussion and decision making with clients in the development of a User Experience Strategy. In our context (the development of online projects) the User Experience Strategy becomes an 'in principle agreement' on the shape of the project (what), its purpose (why), and provides potential implementation strategies (how). It takes into account all perspectives (e.g business, technical, marketing, brand) but privileges the intended user experience.
A collaborative approach enables clients to actively participate in the process, increasing the likelihood of achieving a collective vision for the project. This article focuses on the first step in the journey towards collaboratively developing a User Experience Strategy and is concerned specifically with how user stories are generated, themed and prioritized. Interested in more? We will be talking about this subject at UX Australia 2009 at the end of this month.
Working agency side, our involvement as User Experience professionals in a project often starts after the client has already invested in developing initial project assets. These might take the form of requirements, objectives, user profiles, user research or feature lists for example. There might also be pre-existing content or collateral if an existing site or service is being replaced.
While this information goes some way to describing the future project, it does so via the different agendas of marketing, technical, business, or brand; each asset takes a different perspective and is presented in its own 'language'. These different perspectives can effectively point in different directions, making a holistic view of the project difficult. It can also mean stakeholders hold different visions of project outcomes. Engaging in design at this point means risking significant tensions and costly delays down the track.
Different perspectives on the project. Different agendas impacting in the design phase
Reframing the project
By collaboratively developing a User Experience Strategy with clients, we can create a shared and holistic vision for the project that guides us through the design phases of the project. Central to a User Experience Strategy is the perspective of the people who will actually use the Website. Part of developing the strategy is re-framing the project from a user experience perspective.
Looking at the project from a client perspective
Looking at the project from a users perspective
The client perspective often starts as an abstracted, inside out view of the project via feature lists and technical specifications. A user perspective on the other hand looks at the project from the viewpoint of those who will use it. By re-framing the project in terms of the intended user experience we shift to this perspective. This perspective is necessarily more concrete because it forces us to take context into account. In order to effectively think through the project from the user's point of view we must think though some of the variables of the situation in which it will be used. This is the role of tools such as personas and scenarios; they work to ground the project in the real world, ensuring we don't design in a vacuum.
Creating user stories
User stories are collaborative design tools which help the team to think through what the project needs to deliver from the perspective of those who will use it. User stories are generated by means of a critical translation of all existing project information (e.g scope, project objectives, business requirements, content analysis, comparative analysis, brand guidelines). User research is also analyzed through this method and the majority of the user stories are generated from this resource.
User stories (derived from agile development practices) are short statements that include the role of the user and the activity they wish to perform: the achievement of some goal, in the context of some constraint. They articulate the future system from the perspective of those who will use it (see examples below). Personas and scenarios provide supporting background and context.
Example of how user stories are created from existing data:
Requirement: Display all new news content on the homepage
gets translated into:
"regular readers are able to easily see all new news content"
Or a feature description like: Podcasting
might get translated into:
"As a member I can subscribe to news stories about gardening"
It is common in the early stages of design for clients to communicate a solution as a way of communicating an intention. E.g. "users can see their shopping cart from every page on the site". What we want at the start of the design process, however, is not a proposed solution but rather a clear understanding of what the project, and the users, are trying to achieve. User stories place the focus on what the user is trying to do, not how the system delivers it. User stories frame the problem space without identifying the solution.
During the strategy phase the user stories remain high level. They can be broken out and refined in more detail for estimating and implementation in later project phases. At this stage of the project we also capture business goals as user stories, naming the institution as a stakeholder e.g. "As [client] I can promote the institution". This ensures (and reassures the client) that all the objectives and emphasis in the original project assets are captured, though these kinds of user stories are likely to be replaced out over time by related stories that take a users perspective. There are some things that are not converted into user stories, for instance standards, business rules and specific technology specifications (e.g database descriptions, browser specifications etc). These are resources to return to later, as it becomes necessary to interrogate those particular aspects in detail.
Theming Stories
Once all user stories are generated, grouping and theming the stories provides a top level picture of what the site contains and reveals an initial 'loose' structure. It enables team members to confirm that all bases are covered and indicates the major types of patterns and flows the site is likely to support (e.g searching, looking up contact details, applying for scholarships).
In the next step, user stories are edited from a list of all the things we could have, to the things we should have. Determining what the project should do is central to developing an effective strategy. The user stories become the framework for supporting these strategic discussions about project purpose, goals and approach.
Prioritizing User Stories
The aim of the prioritization process is to enable the client team to come to an agreement on the overall goals that (in principle) must be met by the site and why. Many factors motivate clients when prioritizing the scope of a project; cost and time are common motivators, but personal preferences can also play a part. The focus on user experience provided by user stories helps people to think through the priorities in a different way. This is in part because they offer a common language that all team members can access. Talking "through" user stories also allows the client team to better understand the implications and differences between various decisions and approaches.
The value each user story has to the project depends on its relationship to the primary user groups (represented in our case by personas) and to the overall project goals. User stories are evaluated individually and in relation to each other, through open discussion with the client team. The following sort of questions occur during this discussion:
- What kinds of things would we have to do to get this done?
- Is it really important that these stakeholders (users) are able to do this?
- Is it actually possible for us to support this activity currently?
- Is it important enough to us that we should consider infrastructure/policy changes?
- Can we meet these goals another way?
- Do we need to meet these goals now?
- Is this a short or long term project goal?
Essentially, this is a discussion where the client team thinks through how the project would "look" with or without certain user stories. The aim is not to decide how the user stories should be met but rather to allow a more holistic view of the project goals and constraints to emerge. As the implications of meeting different user stories are considered, team members can get a sense of how their choices about priorities impact on the overall shape and form of the project. Based on these discussions clients are prompted to rank user stories, using the MoSCoW_Method of method of Must Have, Should Have, Could Have, Wont Have . This means all issues are captured for future reference, but the most important issues are clearly stated and agreed to by all.
Our role in this process is to facilitate the discussion and guide decision making so that agreed project goals, primary stakeholders and prioritized user stories align and support each other. Sometimes a user story will appear important, yet it won't align with the stated objectives. In this case it is our role to ask questions like: "This user story doesn't support you to meet your currently stated objectives, so does the user story need to be re-prioritized, or do the objectives need to change?
Why User Stories?
Flexibility, accessibility and manageability
Compared to other project documents, user stories are conceptually very accessible, they are also fast to generate. Clients can easily edit existing user stories and add their own, regardless of their technical capability. Depending on the project, users can also be directly involved in the generation of user stories. From a project management perspective, they reduce potentially hundreds of pages of documentation to just 4 or 5, making them suitable for circulation and as a shared resource for discussion and feedback.
Cohesive and exhaustive
The translation of core project information into user stories is a relatively easy way to get an early handle on the project. Reading through the user stories gives a much clearer sense of "what the project is" than lists of features or content and functional requirements. Clients can easily read through the list and ensure that their concerns have been captured. In the early stages of a project we can often be anxious of missing things, and this methods allows all possibilities to be easily collated into one place.
Common language
User stories become a common language for the client team as well as the design team. They remove the emphasis on solutions and features, and instead frame the discussion around what the project is trying to achieve. This helps clients to focus conversation around the future design possibilities, rather than be held back by existing constraints or agendas. This is particularly important when there is a conflict between different client stakeholders as it allows team members to refocus the conversation on the end goals and work backwards from there.
Shift perspective on the project (for everyone)
Lastly, and most importantly, user stories fundamentally shift the perspective of the project from a list of abstract (and potentially arbitrary) requirements to a description of user focused activities; these are necessarily more concrete and tangible and allow the stakeholder team to conceive of the project in different ways.
The UX perspective provided through user stories becomes a framework through which we can examine and explore the future project strategically and holistically. The process of prioritizing the user stories with the client team becomes a strategic intervention, facilitating discussion around project goals and purpose. The project goals and possible ways of achieving them simultaneously emerge as a result of thinking through the project from a user perspective.
In this article, we have outlined the initial step in collaboratively developing a project User Experience Strategy via the generation and prioritization of user stories. However, any single user story could be implemented in a number of different ways during the design and build phases. Different approaches will require different levels of investment, and be more or less appropriate given the constraints. Prior to moving into design a better sense of the actual scale of the project is needed. To to this we use visual, tangible and collaborative design tools such as paper prototypes, which allow team members to think through core user pathways and key interaction elements in more concrete ways. While user stories help us to get a shape of the project (what), its purpose (why), these tangible design tools support a shared conversation about potential implementation strategies (how). These steps will be presented in a future article.
The reflection on methods outlined in this article was largely made possible through project work completed on behalf of Digital Eskimo, a social design agency in Sydney whose Considered Design methodology makes embracing these methods and approaches possible. We would also like to thank our clients UNSW, Melbourne Journal of International Law and Inspire Digital and our project partners Zumio and Redrollers for their generous commitment to sharing the design experience and process, and to all the participants who give time to our projects.
UX Australia
Michelle and Penny will be giving a presentation called "Emerging a user experience strategy: People, pencils and post-its," at UX Australia 2009. Their presentation will outline a collaborative approach to developing a User Experience Strategy: a shared vision for the project that aligns all perspectives (e.g business, technical, marketing, brand), but is driven by the potential user experience.

Kneeboards Buyer's Guide
Rope Selection
If you are a water skier, that believes the rope you use for water skiing is suitable for all styles of kneeboarding, we recommend that you read on. In some cases, kneeboarding requires a stiffer rope than ropes used for water skiing because it helps a rider's ability to perform tricks. To select the proper rope, it is imperative to understand that a tighter, stiffer rope that does not stretch is ideal for getting more air. Additionally, such rope characteristics help a rider's ability to pull through flips and spins.
No-Stretch • The construction of a no-stretch rope is made from material called Spectra. • Spectra Rope is an extremely durable material with practically no elasticity. Meaning that a no-stretch rope will do just that. It will not stretch, making ideal for use in kneeboarding. • Spectra Rope also has extremely low moisture absorption, providing a perfect compliment to use on the water. It keeps the rope lighter and does not accelerate fatigue while holding on to the rope handle. • The construction of a low stretch rope is generally composed of polyethylene or polyethylene blend material.
Multi-Purpose • If you're a kneeboarder who primarily works on honing your skills performing tricks, a no-stretch Spectra rope is best. • For those who enjoy both waterskiing and recreational kneeboarding, low-stretch ropes will be the best rope choice. Low-stretch ropes provide enough elasticity for recreational waterskiing, while maintaining enough stiffness for kneeboarders riding for recreational purpose. • Just as rope type differs between kneeboarding and waterskiing, so do kneeboarding handles. • Kneeboard handles are more specialized; offering more features aimed at making tricks and aerials easier. • Kneeboard handles tend to have a wider grip than waterskiing handles. Ranging from 13-1(in) in width. By comparison, water skiing handles typically measure 11-1(in) wide. • Wider grips help riders when performing tricks because of the necessity to pass the handle behind the back. • Kneeboarding handles will have features that make spin tricks easier. Often in the form of a rope braid or second smaller handle grip built into the rope. • Kneeboarding handles commonly have a neoprene foam float that makes them float.

Welcome to kneeboarding—the beginning of your journey into the watersports lineup. Photo credit: Jobe Thrill.
Watersports and wipeouts go hand in hand; I first discovered this at a young age after falling off my kneeboard and finding myself with water shooting up my nose and tears rolling down my face. Although it was discouraging, I knew that once you get passed the wipeouts a whole new arena of action and fun quickly reveals itself (get more general info in The Wonderful World of Watersports: All Things Towable). Soon it became easier to transition into other watersports, like wakeboarding and wakesurfing. Of course the wipeouts would continue to add up over the years, but I realized that kneeboarding had helped me understand the basics and build the foundation I needed for everything that followed.

Knee boarding is a popular water sport across the world. That said, many manufacturers have come up trying to make the best kneeboards ever. With a variety of brands of kneeboards to choose from, you are at a risk of buying a low rated, low-quality product. This review sheds more light on the aspects to consider while choosing the best kneeboards. Ultimately, we review the top brands and models that will surely change your kneeboarding experience. So, let's read through the whole piece of the article and get enlightened.
The shape and the material of construction: Kneeboards feature two primary materials of construction. The plastic and fiberglass which have individual merits and demerits. But, fiber glasses are stiffer and boast sharper edges for easy performance of tricks. They enhance tricky and skillful performances and are more appropriate for experienced riders. Plastics are more buoyant, wider and are easy you control, therefore suitable for inexperienced or beginners.
The rocker number of the device: This number denotes the curvature of the bottom part of the knee board. When the number is quite high, you can maneuver and turn more easily. But when the rocker number is low, it means that you can ski faster. So, this rocker number is a critical factor to consider before buying a kneeboard.
Affordability: Even though the choice of brands reviewed in this article isn't based on price, we have selected the best and top rated kneeboards available at varying prices. But, when the price of a knee board goes up, you expect it to have some exceptional features. You should ensure that you get the real value for your money by buying the best match for the price.
The ergonomics of the knee board: As much as you will enjoy spending on your board in the water, you will definitely need a soft knee pad. This feature protects you from the hard plastic surface. Other important features include the Velcro strap. The strap ensures that the kneeboard snuggly fits around your knee area to avoid them coming off when you fall into the water. The straps transform the kneeboard into a well-equipped floating device to ensure you enjoy every minute without any risk.
The iPro Aviator features an elastic strap with Velcro closures to strap to your leg. I found it to be very comfortable, and (since I'm not a pilot) I could easily see using this as a passenger in a car. The front of the kneeboard doesn't cover the entire face of the iPad. This is done for the benefit of pilots so that opening the cover doesn't bump the control yoke. The cover also features a clipboard for holding important documents or paper, and it makes a wonderful lap desk for writing. The cover / writing surface can be removed and reattached easily with no tools.
While it's attached to your leg, there's a slight angle built in so that the screen is a bit easier to read than if it were flat. I found that the iPro Aviator provided a nice surface for writing notes on the iPad (using Noteshelf) when placed on a desk.
Once you're back on the ground, the iPro Aviator does a great job of protecting your iPad from bumps and scratches, and it also has a kickstand that folds out of the back for desktop use. There's a wide opening at the bottom of the iPro Aviator so that it doesn't need to be removed for charging or syncing of the iPad.
One important thing to note is that the iPro Aviator is designed for use while sitting; the strap is not designed to hold your iPad onto your leg while you're walking around.
How to save up to 86%? Here is little trick.
You must visit the page of sales. Here is the link. If you don't care about which brand is better, then you can choose the kneeboards by the price and buy from the one who will offer the greatest discount.
Final Word
First of all thanks for reading my article to the end! I hope you find my reviews listed here useful and that it allows you to make a proper comparison of what is best to fit your needs and budget. Don't be afraid to try more than one product if your first pick doesn't do the trick.
Most important, have fun and choose your kneeboards wisely! Good luck!

New South Wales strata and community title laws will be up for review this year after a public consultation set to close at the end of February.
Current strata laws are outdated having been made for small, self-managed blocks of flats and need changing, said NSW Minister for Fair Trading Anthony Roberts.
The open forum, hosted online, opened on 15 December 2011 and will close on 29 February 2012.
"Regrettably, NSW laws have not kept pace with the issues facing strata and community scheme residents," Mr Roberts said.
The public consultation process, completed at the end of February, allowed all stakeholders an opportunity to raise their concerns and issues for a formal review of legislation this year.
Feedback was encouraged from investors, tenants, agents, developers, surveyors, valuers, lawyers and academics.
"The laws are outdated and no longer effectively support owners in the day to day management of their scheme or address the issues associated with ageing buildings, changing demographics and accountability for annual budgets that can amount to millions of dollars" he said.
The current laws were designed primarily for small, self-managed blocks of flats, while currently strata and community schemes include high-rises, townhouses, dual occupancies, offices and retirement villages.
"There is a general view in the community and it is one accepted by the government that the laws need to be reformed to more effectively meet the diverse needs of today's owners and residents.
The review is expected to result in significant amendments to existing legislation.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Saturday flew in Rs 5,000 crore in a heavily guarded cargo plane to cash parched Uttar Pradesh, an official said.
The state was reeling under a grave cash crunch since the November 8 demonetisition of higher currency notes, leading to chaos, anger and law and order situation at many places.
The money soon after landing at the Chaudhary Charan Singh international airport was wheeled into the regional RBI office.
The currency was sent to Lucknow for further distribution across the ATMs and banks includes Rs 500 and Rs 2000 notes. The cash will be distributed evenly between the RBI offices in Kanpur and Lucknow.

A casserole that lasted 5 days, with some saved for later. I modified a Homestyle Ground Beef Casserole recipe my sister-in-law [Doris Mason-Griffin] sent me months ago. Instead of ground beef, I substituted shredded chicken. I added yellow onion, garlic, mushrooms, rosemary, hot pepper, and bacon. I varied the ingredients to suit my taste. I did not pre-cook the egg noodles. I cooked this Saturday before the game. It goes well with a salad and cranberry sauce.
I expect to cook this again at some point—maybe Super Bowl LV. Anyway, I will likely use flaked wild pacific salmon instead of chicken.

The Perfect First Date
By Top10BestDatingSites Staff
The Perfect First Date
You searched the online profiles. You made a connection. You started emailing. Now, you're ready for your first date. The first rule you need to embrace with an online match is don't panic. It is just a chance to meet a potentially interesting person. They're not going to become your soul mate or whisk you off on a world cruise. Of course, that can still happen, but give it time. This first date is about getting to know the person. Best-case scenario: You hit it off and set up a second date. Worst-case scenario: Your date didn't turn out to be what you expect. No worries. Just scratch them off the list and move on to the next one. No harm, no foul.
Here are some other suggestions to help ensure you have a perfect first date.
Take the Pressure Off
Just because you like to dine in a four-star restaurant doesn't mean you have to go there on your first date. Yes, it would be nice but is it fair to drop a lot of money when you're just getting to know someone? You want to keep this first date casual. Meeting for coffee or drinks is always a good way to go. That can lead to dinner if things are going well. If you can meet somewhere that is relaxing, then your date will be relaxed and things will go a lot smoother.
Have A Plan B
You might have picked out the perfect spot for your first rendezvous. What happens if you show up and the place is closed? What if it is too noisy? What if your ex is sitting at the bar? You need to have a backup plan ready that you can activate in a snap.
Keep It Short
On the romantic side of things, a perfect first date will last forever. In reality, you want that first date to be short. Setting up a five-hour museum tour might not be the way to go. Remember, you still don't know this person. That means you should have an "out" if that person turns out to be not so charming. Hopefully, your date turns out to be wonderful and you end up talking into the small hours. Nothing wrong with that, but start with the "short date" plan.
Coordinate Your Outfits
If you pick a spot for your first date and let the other person know that this place is "totally casual," then you're clueing them in on what to wear. That might not matter to you as much as it will to your date. You don't want to show up in formal wear if your date is dressed for a day at the beach. Awkward!
Listen More, Talk Less
The perfect date will have an even split in the conversation. You'll both have a chance to talk and listen. However, your default should always be to "listen more, talk less." It might not turn out that way, but it is a good goal to have.
Turn Off the Cell
Definitely let your friends know where you're going on your date. However, they don't need to have a play-by-play. When your date arrives, make a point of turning off your cell phone. This will show your date that you're giving them your undivided attention. That's a good way to start any date.
