The owl and the chimpanzee - By Jo Camacho
The owl and the chimpanzee went to sea
In a beautiful boat called The Mind
The owl was sensible, clever and smart
The chimp was a little behind
The owl made decisions, based on fact
And knew where to steer its ship
The chimp reacted a little too fast
And often the boat would tip
The waves would come and crash aboard
The chimp would start to cry
Large tears would roll right down his face
Afraid that he would die
The chimp and the owl would wrestle at night
When the world was quiet and still
The chimp would jump up and rock the boat
And the boat would start to fill
Then the owl stepped in and grabbed a pail
And started to empty it out
And the chimp would start to get quite cross
And would often scream and shout
The battle continued night after night
Until the chimp started to see
That if it let the owl take control
A more peaceful night it would be
#worldpoetryday
This poem by clinical hypnotherapist and psychotherapist Jo Camacho beautifully articulates the internal battle many of us face when the more primitive part of our brain (the chimp brain) takes control. The wise owl within all of us is seen here fighting with the chimp who seems determined to make the situation worse, despite its fears of the situation worsening.
What this poem teaches us: Internal conflict is normal and human. If we can learn to control our primitive, scared brain more often and listen to our inner owl, weโll enjoy a more peaceful journey.

โIoT without security = Internet of Threatsโ โ Stรฉphane Nappo.
Cyber Security Tip:
IoT devices are poorly protected, and with the majority of enterprises using IoT devices, almost every company is exposed to cyber attacks. Secure your IoT the same way you secure your IT systems.
Did you know that participating in the arts can enable people to deal with a wide range of mental ill-health conditions and psychological distress.
The best part is that it helps people to improve their mental health through creativity. Making art is helping many people express themselves, without having to use words. The arts and culture can also create a feeling of community and help alleviate the sense of isolation.

Are your systems regularly updated?
Another one of the most crucial cyber safety tips is that you must keep all your browsers, software, and operating systems up-to-date. This is especially one of the most important Cyber Security tips for the workplace and also for users.
If your organisation firewalls for security purposes, you must update that as well. The older your system and its configurations are, the longer the hackers have to find and exploit all the weaknesses. Updating them will prevent attackers from exploiting them for enough time until new updates.

What can we do to help reduce this figure?
The graph shows the number of suicides across the countries and regions, as a share of total deaths for each country
Whilst Malta's rate in 2019 is only 0.64% compared the European Region's rate of 1.4%, we're sure there is still more we could do to help those around us going through difficult times.
So on World Suicide Prevention Day, let us all do our bit and help increase awareness of these tragic events by sharing and looking out for people around us.
