Professor Leila Patel’s social welfare research recognised
Durban - PROFESSOR Leila Patel has been awarded a gold medal for outstanding achievement in scientific thinking to the benefit of society.
The award was presented by the Academy of Science of South Africa (ASSAf) virtually last week.
Patel is the research chairperson in welfare and social policy and professor of social work at the Department of Science and Innovations.
She previously won the Woman in Society Award and the Katherine A Kendall Memorial Award.
“Awards like these and others I have been honoured with over the years are obviously personally and professionally very humbling,” said Patel, of Johannesburg.
“Importantly, an award like ASSAf’s, which specifically recognises how the sort of research work I do positively affects society at large, adds to the visibility of welfare and social work.”
She said that social welfare as a field of social enquiry was undervalued in the academy and in society.
“Although this is beginning to change, it is my hope that this award can in some way make visible the importance of investing in growing research capability, and in the search for evidence-based solutions that connect with people’s real-life experiences and how they go about managing their lives.”
Patel said she always had a desire to make a difference in people’s lives and therefore chose to do social work.
In a values-based profession committed to social justice, she hopes to achieve this through research and finding evidence-based solutions to issues including hunger, poverty and inequality.
“My research focuses on finding innovative solutions that could improve child and family well-being, including solutions to the challenges young people face, such as youth employment.”
Patel said an ideal future in the fields of social development and welfare would be one where social workers and welfare organisations were properly equipped and funded to perform their work; and that they were valued by society for doing so.
“They are at the front line of building a more caring society, cohesive communities and families, who are central to building a society where all are able to fare well and achieve their aspirations.”
She is the professor of social development studies at the Centre for Social Development in Africa at the University of Johannesburg.
Patel also supervises a number of postgraduate students and teaches a Master’s module on social policy and development.
Apart from her career, Patel is a married mother of two daughters, both of whom are lawyers, and a grandmother of two boys.
“They followed in their father’s footsteps, as he too is a lawyer and a judge in the Supreme Court of Appeals in Bloemfontein.
In her spare time, Patel enjoys reading novels, walking and spending time with family and friends.
Professor Tshilidzi Marwala, the vice-chancellor of the University of Johannesburg, was another recipient of the ASSAf award.
He is an engineer and artificial intelligence professor.
Marwala was recognised for his contribution to the development of artiiificial intelligence and its applications at the highest academic levels of research and postgraduate supervision.

An Adventurous City Break In London
You might not expect to hear this from us, but we do love a city break; a few nights away with friends or the one you love, visiting the sights, sampling the culture and eating great food - what's not to like?
But come to think of it, wouldn't it be better if there was some action-packed fun involved, too? After all, there's only so many museums and cafes you can see before you start itching for something a little more exciting!
If you're planning a trip to the capital and feel like you've fought your way along Oxford Street quite enough for one person's lifetime, why not try something a bit more adventurous on your next visit? Take a look at our pick of the most adventurous things to do in London and yes, we have included ourselves on the list!
Take to the water
See the city from a different angle by taking a tour along the river. Just make sure you don't get stuck on any old sightseeing boat try the London Duck Tours for an exhilarating drive from the road straight into the water! Feeling the need for speed? Take an adrenaline-fuelled high-speed cruise down the River Thames these run all year round and in all weather conditions, so if you're feeling really extreme you can even do it in the rain!
Find some green space
From the wide open spaces of Richmond Park to the luscious botanicals of Kew Gardens, there is so much green space to enjoy in London and many of the city's parks host regular outdoor activities where you can learn something new. So if you've had enough of standing in queues or travelling on the tube, why not try your hand at a spot of fishing, power kiting or even horse riding? Bet you didn't think you could do all that in the big smoke! One of our top picks would be roller-blading in the beautiful Battersea Park the smooth, flat, and car-free paths provide the perfect surface for your wheels!
Walk the Line
Quite literally! Scheduled for completion in March this year, The Line is the capital's first art walk, featuring a selection of carefully curated sculptures for the public to view, from the likes of Damien Hirst and Gary Hume. The Line is mostly free of charge, apart from two paid sections that include a short DLR journey and a cable car over the River Thames. You can even cycle the entire route, so why not hire some Boris Bikes and really get those leg muscles working?
Get up high!
High up in the tree tops of Battersea Park is our brand new Go Ape adventure course which, as you can probably tell, we are all very excited about! The first of its kind in any UK city, our shiny new course features obstacles and crossings at truly challenging heights, making it a thrilling addition to your city break!

Everyone with even the most rudimentary knowledge of food safety knows: raw meat needs to be handled and cooked carefully, in case of possible bacterial contamination, and raw chicken requires careful handling even by raw-meat-handling standards.
You also know to guard against the possibility of cross-contamination: don't slice raw vegetables on the same cutting board you use to slice raw chicken, wash your hands and utensils carefully after they come in contact with raw chicken, and so forth.
Cross-contamination from raw chicken is a bigger threat than many people might realize, with the potential to contaminate areas of your kitchen that never even made direct contact with any poultry. Luckily, that particular threat is fairly easy to avoid: if you're cooking with raw chicken, don't wash it first.
On June 16, the United Kingdom's Food Standard Agency put out a news update urging people who wash raw chicken before cooking to stop doing so:
We have issued a call for people to stop washing raw chicken to reduce the risk of contracting campylobacter, a potentially dangerous form of food poisoning. The call comes as new figures show that 44% of people always wash chicken before cooking it – a practice that can spread campylobacter bacteria onto hands, work surfaces, clothing and cooking equipment through the splashing of water droplets.
Campylobacter is the most common form of food poisoning in the UK, affecting an estimated 280,000 people a year.
But is it also a problem in America? The Centers for Disease Control say yes:
Campylobacter is one of the most common causes of diarrheal illness in the United States. Most cases occur as isolated, sporadic events, not as part of recognized outbreaks. … about 14 cases are diagnosed each year for each 100,000 persons in the population. Many more cases go undiagnosed or unreported, and campylobacteriosis is estimated to affect over 1.3 million persons every year. Campylobacteriosis occurs much more frequently in the summer …. Although Campylobacter infection does not commonly cause death, it has been estimated that approximately 76 persons with Campylobacter infections die each year.
Campylobacter can also lead to reactive arthritis and a serious nervous-system disorder called Guillain-Barré syndrome. Britain's FSA warning against washing raw chicken included the cautionary anecdote of Ann Edwards, a 67-year-old Englishwoman who caught camplylobacter in 1997 and eventually developed Guillain-Barré syndrome, leaving her partially paralyzed from the chest down.
Not the first
The FSA's anti-wash warning is not the first, however. Last August, NPR's food blog ran a story saying “Julia Child was wrong: don't wash your raw chicken” and spoke to Drexel University food researcher Jennifer Quinlan, who said “There's no reason, from a scientific point of view, to think you're making it any safer ... in fact, you're making it less safe.”
Studies have shown that when you rinse raw meat, bacteria can fly up to three feet away, due to the spattering of water droplets too small to even see.
So there's one bit of good news for harried cooks here: if you're preparing chicken and the recipe calls for you to wash the raw bird before you start preparing it, skipping that step is not a lazy shortcut, but the healthy and responsible thing to do.

Leading up to long-awaited municipal elections, Tunisia is at a crossroads. The beginning of 2018 saw widespread protests and social unrest in both cities and rural areas, as economic stagnation and unemployment continue to worsen. However, the vote currently set for May 6 signals an opportunity for Tunisian youth, women, and minorities to make their voices heard.
How might the elections encourage confidence among Tunisians in a transparent democratic process? Could the results promote or undermine Tunisia’s fragile stability? How can the international community better support Tunisia and its government to address the rising social tensions?
The Middle East Institute (MEI) is pleased to host Ambassador Fayçal Gouia, ambassador of Tunisia to the United States, Elie Abouaoun (USIP), and Sabina Henneberg (SAID) for a panel discussion to examine Tunisia’s political challenges -- both local and national -- ahead of the elections. MEI’s senior vice president for policy research and programs, Paul Salem, will moderate the discussion.

Following calls for his redeployment by the PDP in Akwa Ibom, newly posted state police Commissioner Mr Musa Kimo has restated his stand that he remained apolitical and would be fair to all in the discharge of his duties in the state.
Kimo told newsmen on Wednesday in Uyo that he is desirous of peace in the state and would try his best to sustain the prevailing peace in the area by ensuring that the rule of law is maintained while criminal elements in the society are flushed out.
The commissioner regretted that most politicians in the country are yet to learn how to play politics of peace calling on them to always promote the interest of the people while they go about their politics.
On recent crisis in the state assembly he said that the police in the state has not received any directive preventing any lawmaker from accessing the House of Assembly adding that he had earlier called for a meeting of all lawmakers in his desire to ensure that the lingering crisis in the assembly is brought to an end.
He explained that the presence of policemen deployed outside the premises of the assembly was for security purposes adding that the police should be commended rather than being blamed for averting mayhem at the assembly on Tuesday.
“The House of Assembly have their own policemen deployed inside the premises but in the case of any suspected threat to lives and property we also deploy our own men atleast 500m from the premises and that was what we did.
“We were particular about preventing hoodlums from infiltrating the House of Assembly premises. I am not happy with the current happenings at the Assembly and I am hereby calling on all parties to work towards peace in the state.” Kimo explained.
The commissioner also debunked allegations of aiding lawmakers whose seats were declared vacant by Speaker Oniofok Luke to gain entrance into the chambers and advised the parties to use legal means to resolve the matter.
On the call by Governor Udom Emmanuel that he be redeployed, the commissioner maintained that he meant well for everybody and the state, adding that he would continue to execute his job professionally and to the best interest of the state and the nation.
“I will say again that I am pained by the crisis in the state and desirous of ensuring that peace prevails.I am a man of honour and integrity and will always ensure that I execute my jobs professionally.” He said.

Netizens woke up to a video of Khaligraph Jones fighting with Africa’s Boys Band, Sauti Sol.
The video which is circulating on social media saw Bien and Savara roughing up the OG, in a rare celebrity fight.
Khaligraph Jones had earlier hinted on beating up the band if they do not go to the gym, and the singers came in just prepared.
Bien is seen pushing Khaligraph Jones while Savara utter insults telling Khaligraph that he is growing thin.
“Si umekonda buda” Bien is heard saying.
This might be just a tear of an iceberg as the OG had announced that he will face off the boys band come December this year.
Khaligraph and Sauti Sol did a collabo last year and has since been friends despite the online rivalry.
Entertainment experts said that the artists could be planning on dropping another banger together and this is just but a stunt.

Representing the fifth release from upstart L.A. based record label Kanpai, Japan’s own The Saboten takes Kanpai’s mission statement of putting out music that blends elements of indie rock, pop, and electronica to the extreme. The Saboten is an eclectic avant-garde consortium, consisting of three of Japan’s most cutting edge artists: DJ Force, guitarist Saguaro, and Tokyo underground producer and legend Hoppy Kamiyama.
The Saboten are well versed in fashioning menageries of sonic soundscapes for film soundtracks; however, the trio’s latest effort and U.S. debut finds the group delving into new territory. Exhibiting musical styles ranging from Bangra beats & rock-infused drum and bass to eclectic jazzy electro-lounge grooves, The Saboten are the epitome of abstract experimental electronic music and provide a stimulating concoction of adrenalin-inducing soundscapes.
The Saboten’s sound is obscurely abstract and tricky to categorize; however, it is obvious from the various directions that this album takes that they are not concerned with categories. Utilizing a fine mixture of driving bass lines, sparse Fender Rhodes, acoustic guitar breaks, live drum samples, synthesizer madness and the delicate sound of the Japanese Koto, this album stretches the boundaries of modern dance music. Self described as “Mixture Head Music” and resembling a hybrid of Kraftwerk and Sun Ra, The Saboten have a sound that is undeniably experimental & avant-garde, yet very digestible and enjoyable. Fans of experimental music by artists such as Material, Muslimgauze and even Talvin Singh should add this album to their musical library.

New Tennessee Ignition Interlock Law Fixes Glaring Loopholes
Road safety is in the news lately. Maryland will be state number 26 to require ignition interlocks for all drunk driving offenses once the governor signs Noah’s Law, which passed earlier in April. An ignition interlock, or car breathalyzer, prevents a vehicle from starting if the driver has been drinking. Other states are debating stronger ignition interlock laws.
Tennessee has just boosted its road safety legislation by passing Senate Bill 2065/ House Bill 1843. The bills close two glaring loopholes in the state’s laws governing the mandating and removing of car breathalyzers:
Compliance-based removal. This is the single most effective way to administer an ignition interlock program is to require compliance-based removal. In Tennessee, offenders will have to show that four months have passed without a recorded violation before the interlock can be removed.
Compliance-based removal greatly enhances the power of ignition interlocks as a public safety measure. It helps offenders learn to separate drinking from driving. A user who has shown he or she is able to go 120 days without a failed test is ready for a second chance.
Interlocks by default. Tennessee has had a problem with judges who don’t order the ignition interlocks even for cases in which it is warranted. Interlocks lower the rates of alcohol-related road deaths, but only if they are ordered. The new law make an ignition interlock device the default unless the judge specifically cancels it. While it might not be as strong as a straight mandatory interlock requirement, it’s much safer to have interlocks be the default.
Tennessee still has a way to go with its anti-drunk driving efforts. In addition to mandating interlocks for all DUI offenders, as opposed to just repeat offenders, the state should institute ALR – administrative license revocation – for DUI offenders. ALR means that the license is suspended immediately at the scene of the arrest, rather than waiting for conviction.
Still, this new, improved Tennessee ignition interlock law is one that other states should use as a model for sensible, effective road safety legislation. Nicely done.

Cheaper air travel may be on the cards after Airports Company South Africa (ACSA), which operates the country’s airports, confirmed it will be lowering aircraft landing fees, aircraft parking fees and passenger service charges by 35 per cent from April.
Its chief executive officer, Bongani Maseko, said in a statement here Thursday that all role players in the industry could now have regulatory certainty.
ACSA, which reported a profit of nearly 2.0 billion Rand (about 146 million US dollars) for 2016, has a number of development initiatives in the pipeline, including the re-alignment of runways and terminal improvements at Cape Town International Airport.
Meanwhile , A South African Airways (SAA) passenger plane which experienced technical problems over New York on Wednesday night was set to return to Johannesburg late Thursday.
The aircraft had to dump fuel over the Atlantic Ocean before returning to New York’s JF Kennedy International Airport. SAA said in a statement that the plane experienced problems with its wing flaps.
Technicians have since fixed the problem. Passengers on social media say a similar incident took place a month ago with the same flight.

But Cheptegei used the lockdown caused by the Covid-19 pandemic in March to spend ample time to work with his coach Addy Ruiter in Kapchorwa after the international athletics calendar was also put on hold, writes Elvis Senono
Ugandan long distance star athletes Joshua Cheptegei and Jacob Kiplimo were at the start of November nominated and are favourites to top a 10-man shortlist for the Male World Athlete of the Year award ahead of the World Athletics Awards 2020 to be held virtually on Saturday 5 December.
The recognition followed a remarkable 10 months in which the pair have dragged the country from a fairly respected nation in the Athletics world to one of the favourites to win medals in the middle and long distance races ahead of the postponed 2020
Olympics in Tokyo next year
Looking at their competitors, few seem to have a chance against Cheptegei who this year alone broke world records at 5000m (12:35.36), 10,000m (26:11.00) and 5km on the roads (12:51).
Cheptegei initially raised eyebrows with his proclamation that he was targeting Bekele’s 16-year 5,000-meter track world record when he ran at the Monaco Diamond League back in August.
This was after managing a personal best of 12:57.41 on the track that was over 20 seconds behind the 12:37.45 set by the Ethiopian great on May 31, 2004 in Hengelo, Netherlands.
But Cheptegei used the lockdown caused by the Covid-19 pandemic in March to spend ample time to work with his coach Addy Ruiter in Kapchorwa after the international athletics calendar was also put on hold.
“I’m not sure if we will ever be in a situation that a coach is able to be with Joshua for six months and working toward this goal for such a long time,” “…All of his sessions have been better than before…He’s sleeping more, he’s relaxing more…These guys are normally a little bit more on the road. They are not all Eliud Kipchoges who are pretty much 24-7 in a training camp relaxing…[With Covid-19], everybody had to stay at home, and everybody had to respect those rules, and it made them rest more, concentrate more on running rather than other things,” his manager Jurrie van der Velden told the LetsRun.com website in an interview before the race.
His dream hung in the balance though after the government maintained the ban on international commercial air travel.
After weeks of lobbying, the athletes together with several officials from the Sports Ministry, National Council of Sports and Uganda Olympic Committee held a meeting together with the First Lady and Minister of Education and Sports Janet Museveni at State House Nakasero.
This led to a change a week to the race with government softening its stance to allow Cheptegei, Halima Nakaayi, Winnie Nanyondo and Stephen Kissa travel to France for the Monaco Diamond League race held at the Stade Louis II track.
What followed was a sublime race particularly with Cheptegei being on his own for the second half of the race. He then ran a remarkable time of 12:35.36 at 60.43 seconds per lap and break the world record by almost two seconds.
“It took a lot of mind setting to keep being motivated this year because so many people are staying at home but you have to stay motivated. I pushed myself, I had the right staff with me, the right coach. I’m also usually based in Europe, but being based in Uganda with my family was actually great,” he told LetsRun.com after the race.
Cheptegei now boasts the world Cross-country gold, 5000m DL trophy and the 10000m title in addition to rewriting World Records in the 5km at the Monaco Herculis Run on February 16 and 10km race at the Valencia Alfonso 10K in Spain.
Buoyed by that 5000m success, Cheptegei then went after another Bekele record, smashing the Ethiopian’s 15-year old 10,000m world record in a time of 26 minutes 11.00 seconds in Valencia by more than six seconds on October 08.
Not to be outdone, teenager Kiplimo reminded the world of his prowess after a two-year absence on track by stunning world silver medalist Ethiopian Selemon Barega in the 5000m race at the 59th Ostrava Golden Spike Meeting in Czech Republic.
Kiplimo went into the lead with two laps remaining before Barega pulled almost level but the latter held on to win in a massive personal best of 12:48.63.
The time was a huge improvement on his best, previously 13:13.64 and meant he qualified for next year’s Tokyo Olympics. It is also the second fastest time by a Ugandan over the distance – after Cheptegei’s WR.
The 19-year old Kiplimo who is also a World Cross country silver medalist was also further rewarded with a national 3000-meter record after a tremendous final kick saw him defeat 1500m European champion Jakob Ingebrigtsen to win at the Rome’s Diamond League track and field meeting in September.
Kiplimo is now the 8th-fastest man in history. His 7:26.64 is also the fastest time recorded at 3000 in 13 years — since Kenenisa Bekele ran 7:25.70 in August 2007.
He then followed that up with his biggest achievement of his career thus far, winning world half marathon title in a championship record of 58:49 in the Polish city of Gdynia in October.
Kiplimo this time got the better of Kenyan Kibiwott Kandie who in January embarrassed him by nipping ahead after Kiplimo celebrated a win in Sao Paulo before reaching the finish line.
A clearly fatigued Cheptegei who had only 10 days earlier broken the 10,000m world record finished fourth. But there was no denying the Ugandan contingent their prize. They also scooped team bronze at the championship, had completed a remarkable year hugely disrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Aviation by nature operates across borders. Member States and their competent authorities, therefore need to work together. Such cooperation between competent authorities ensures that aviation activities of organisations/persons active in one Member States, but certified by the competent authority of another Member State, are properly overseen. It also ensures that safety information is not only transferred to the competent authority that has certified the airline or the pilot, but that this information is included into the oversight programme. Today, the benefits of the European common aviation market mean that the aviation activity is often performed outside the Member States that issued the certificate. In some cases, the activity is performed exclusively outside the territory of the authority that issued the certificate.
While cooperative oversight has clear advantages in terms of exchange of information between competent authorities, it also triggers a number of questions regarding the practical implications for authorities and the necessary tools that need to be in place.
Four competent authorities of the Czech Republic, France, Norway and the UK agreed to participate in a trial project on cooperative oversight, involving each authority’s inspecting staff and airlines to highlight the enablers of and barriers to cooperative oversight.
This activity report provides detailed information on the activities performed between those four competent authorities. The report makes several recommendations to EASA and authorities for effective implementation of cooperative oversight.


LOS ANGELES, CA – Inigo Pascual’s performance last Monday at the Staples Center as selected Filipino American artist at the LA Clippers’ Filipino Heritage Night was both historic and a personally special moment for the artist.
“I remember driving by the Staples Center when I was little or seeing it on TV when the LA Lakers or Clippers played and imagined how great it would be to perform there one day.
It’s crazy to have that dream come true,” said Pascual.
The sold-out crowd of over 19,000 attendees of every ethnicity filled the arena, a true testament to Pascual’s growing international popularity, being booked for the event the same week that his new single Catching Feelings is trending on popular millennial music app, TikTok, and nearing 2M global plays on Spotify alone.
Pascual performed “Catching Feelings” but ended with the nostalgic “Dahil Sa’yo” (“Because of You”) to match the Filipino Heritage Night’s theme. Written when Pascual was only 19 years old, the song topped the Billboard charts in the Philippines with over 100 million YouTube plays on the music and lyric video.
Pascual just released the music video to “Catching Feelings” with the dance co-choreographed by Phil Tayag, creative director and choreographer to Bruno Mars. Pascual met Tayag at the “ASAP Natin To Bay Area” concert when they performed together a medley of Bruno’s classic hits at the SAP Center in San Jose. The two said they would love to work on something together and kept in touch since.
Other participants of Filipino Heritage Night included Tarsier Records R&B singer/songwriter Kiana V., Bay Area’s top rapper/producer P-Lo, stars of the new film, Fabulous Filipino Brothers, actors Dante/Dion Basco and DJ E-Man, one of the most influential Filipinos working in music.

Who’ll speak for those who have to pay up?
Having expressed serious misgivings at the U-turn executed by Fine Gael in agreeing to shave €600m off the 2014 budget, it may seem churlish not to recognise that the programme outlined last week by Michael Noonan contained some positive elements. But let’s not get carried away. Possibly the most important measure was the decision to retain the 9% rate of VAT for the tourism industry, one of the few incentives in recent years that has had a positive effect on employment. Restaurants and hoteliers persuaded the Department of Finance to abandon plans to reintroduce the 13.5% rate. Common sense, not an attribute usually associated with government, won the day.
Tourism will also be boosted by the decision to remove the €3 travel tax. Michael O’Leary,

T he small village of Stokkseyri in the Southwest of Iceland is not much on the must-see agendas in the country. While not without its charms the landscape here is rugged and flat and winds from the sea howling more often than not.
But this place has one thing no other village or town offers: The Ghost Centre.
Which certainly sounds corny and up to a point it is. But it is still a worthy place to visit for even though the scary stuff on show might not hold any candle to large amusement park shows abroad. It is all very basic and most showpieces made by locals themselves.
However, the poor props is actually a huge part of the charm of a visit. It can be a scary place to visit and that is the whole point. Along with the idea one gets to know a little bit about the long history of dubious things taking place on this remote island.
Another bonus of visiting is a rather good Northern Light show usually running while the centre is open. In fact, it is so good tour companies show up here if nothing is seen on their own Northern light tours.
Certainly a worthy stop if you find you around these parts although perhaps not worthy enough for a special trip.

Injection Molding Products Are Unique To Every China Pet Bottle
October 10 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
Injection molding can be used with a variety of materials ranging from glass to metal, but the heat and flexibility that make it the first choice for the manufacture of Pet Preform Mould and polymers. Plastics help ensure trouble-free production and are generally able to withstand high temperatures in the process while maintaining strength.
These advancements and more are part of the injection molding advantage, which makes it ideal for manufacturing large parts and stocks. So what are the advantages of the injection molding process? let us see.
What are the advantages of injection molding?
The controllability of injection molding gives it many different advantages. The most important thing is that the production line can reduce costs and reduce defects through continuous inspection and continuous improvement of equipment. The expertise of Jilian Mold will enable you to produce clean, robust products with maximum cost savings and reliability.
Some of the most cost-effective, time-saving, and worry-free features of injection molding include:
Versatility. Almost anything in the sun can be made by injection molding. From your car parts to the thousands of plastic products you will use this year, injection molding can create items that meet almost any need.
Rapid production. Injection molding allows parts to be manufactured in fewer steps and tighter control of materials and waste. Because the clamping and injection pressures in this process are higher than the pressure in the transfer molding, you will have higher curing temperatures and developments. This allows you to quickly produce a large number of products with production cycle times as low as 15 seconds.
A powerful part. Polymer-based injection allows you to add filler to your injection mold. These can reduce the density of the polymer you use and increase the strength of the product when it is sprayed. This has made plastic injection molding popular in high stress and high heat parts.
Reduce labor costs. Injection molding tools are usually automatic and self-gating, allowing you to start the production line and remain essentially stationary. As the mold cools, the part itself is usually complete and finished, reducing the final forming process after demolding.
reduce waste. Many materials used for injection molding, especially polymers, can be recycled. This allows you to easily replenish raw material inventory. Because you can control with the material injected into the mold, you will also reduce the amount of waste.
A variety of materials. The co-injection molding process allows the production line to insert a variety of raw materials into a mold, usually two or more types of plastic. This allows you to speed up the manufacturing process and increase the automation of your production line.
A variety of styles. Sometimes the same part needs to be in a different color depending on your own product line, customer brand or federal regulations. The advantages of injection molding include the ability to quickly change colors, even the materials used for the parts you make.
Fully automatic. Production lines centered on injection molding are now fully automated. This allows you to use multiple streams and start an entire line with minimal interference and inspection.
Injection molded products are unique to every China Pet Bottle manufacturing example, so you will see a mix of these benefits. You may see more advantages for the injection molding process for a specific instance, especially if the previous manufacturing process provided an inconsistent product.

Just two laps. That’s all Mat Williamson led in Monday night’s opening round of SummerFAST for the Super DIRTcar Series. He made sure it was the most important two; it was the last two of the 60-lap feature.
Williamson passed the one driver he’s chasing in the Super DIRTcar Series: Matt Sheppard.
“We didn’t tighten up near enough,” said Williamson. “It was a lot slicker than it normally gets. The 358 races in the fall, there’s still a top, a bottom, and a middle. We actually watched the replay in the trailer earlier to kind of figure out what I needed to do to be better. Fortunately, the night just played out in our favor. Anytime you can pass Matt Sheppard, he’s the greatest of this generation, so to race with them and then pass him for a win, I’ll remember that for a long time.”
The final 14 laps saw Williamson chasing Sheppard. Sheppard was beginning to struggle, with Williamson picking up momentum. With five to go, he got to the back bumper as Sheppard continued moving around as he looked for speed.
“In three and four, I felt like I was better than him on the bottom,” said Williamson. “He would run so many different lanes in one and two to screw around with me, but I don’t know if he was just trying to keep me guessing. Finally, luckily, he went to the bottom when I went to the top, and I could get underneath getting into three there.”
Williamson was able to find the high line when it mattered. He got by Sheppard on the outside as they raced off of turn four to the white flag.
“It was tight,” said Williamson. “We made a little contact. He was doing what he needed to do to try and win the race, and I was trying to win the race as well. It was a fun race. We both have respect for each other on the racetrack, and that’s what it takes.”
He held off Sheppard on the final lap to put his Buzz Chew Cadillac No. 88 in victory lane for a $7,500 paycheck.
“I knew that I needed to snooker him,” said Williamson. “I don’t know if I took off on him on the last lap because I felt like I was just trying to play protection mode for one lap and get it to the end. So fun race, fun racing at Brewerton as always, and I always look forward to coming here.”
Sheppard Has a Rare Miss: It isn’t a regular occurrence to see Sheppard give up the lead once he gets it. On this night, he did. Sheppard was struggling to hang on. His car just wasn’t as good as it needed to be to get the job done.
“I didn’t think it was gonna get like this tonight,” said Sheppard. “We just didn’t tighten up enough. When I lost that brown ring going down the top of the backstretch, that really hurt me. I was using that to carry momentum and just get me down the backstretch. Once that disappeared, I knew I was a sitting duck. I was trying to move around. I thought maybe the groove changed, and I’m like, the groove didn’t change; this thing just ain’t in the racetrack anymore.”
High Point Guy Problems: Larry Wight and Jimmy Phelps, who sit inside the top five in weekly points at the Brewerton Speedway, struggled on Monday night. Both drivers timed poorly, with Phelps’ 15th and Wight 17th out of the 23 cars in their group. That put them at the back of their heat races. They both found themselves in a Last Chance Showdown before they both took provisional starting spots in the feature. Wight made an early exit, finishing in 27th, while Phelps had a solid rebound passing more than anyone else to finish in seventh.
Small Block Power: Multiple drivers utilizing small block power qualified for the feature, including recent winner Amy Holland and Dave Marcuccilli. Holland was the strongest, finishing in 11th. Marcuccilli did not finish, relegating him to the 25th position in the final rundown. Chris Mackey, who usually runs a small-block, debuted a new big-block and he finished 13th.

Pollard Responds to Minister Ben Eliezer Championing Barghouti Release
Justice4JPnews January 6, 2008
Esther Pollard responded this morning to Minister of Infrastructure Fuad Ben Eliezer who declared (regarding a prisoner release deal) "If Barghouti's name is not on the list of those to be freed, I will personally fight for his release!" Ben Eliezer's remarks today left no room for doubt that his advocacy for the release of Marwan Barghouti, who is serving 5 life sentences for the murder of Israeli citizens, is unconditional.
Asked by Israeli media for her response, Esther replied:
When we first met with Ben Eliezer he was Israel's Minster of Defense. We asked him what he was doing to free Jonathan, and he shot back, "What have I got to do with Pollard?!" We had to remind him that Jonathan worked under the auspices of the Ministry of Defense and that as Minister of Defense it was his responsibility to seek Jonathan's immediate release. In all the years since then, Ben Eliezer has never lifted a finger to help Jonathan and certainly has never once opened his mouth publicly to advocate for freedom for Jonathan Pollard. It is simply stunning, on the eve of American President Bush's arrival in Israel, that Israeli Cabinet Ministers (yesterday Matan Vilnai, today Fuad Eliezer, and recently Gidon Ezra and others) instead of advocating for the release of Jonathan Pollard who worked on behalf of the State of Israel for the security of its citizens, are announcing their intention to fight for the release of arch-terrorist, Marwan Barghouti! Is there no end to the depths this government is willing to sink?
Tomorrow, (Monday, 7 January 2008, 2:30 PM) Esther Pollard will take part in a ceremony led by members of the Jerusalem City Council (headed by Rep. Mina Fenton) to re-name a central city square in honor of her husband. Kikar Pariz (opposite the King's Hotel) will be renamed, "Freedom for Jonathan Pollard Square" effective immediately and until his release and his return home. The public is invited to attend.

Go-Betweens Explore Intimate Dimensions, Subtle Side of Rock
Rock, for the most part, is a music of big sounds and big gestures, with the biggest payoffs going to those who can manipulate sound and image to create the biggest sensation.
But there always has been a place in rock for performers whose preference is for reflection and self-restraint. Rather than pushing the outer limits of volume and stage exhibitionism, they choose a quieter, subtler middle way in trying to get across what they have to say.
The Go-Betweens seem to have followed their name to a path of pop moderation. The Australian band, which plays Saturday at the Coach House and Sunday at Bogart’s, pursues a method of delicacy and detail, gentleness and restraint. On their most recent album, “16 Lovers Lane,” the Go-Betweens use a modest sound to craft a melodically winning, emotionally unfettered exploration of the most immoderate dimensions of human experience: love and romance.
Guitar parts, most of them acoustic, ripple along like gently coursing streams. Violin and oboe flavorings place the band closer to the recital chamber’s quiet than the rock arena’s din. Robert Forster and Grant McLennan, the guitarists who founded the band 11 years ago and continue to write its songs, sing with wistfulness, melancholy or the intimacy of a lover’s plea. They leave rock’s swagger and grand display to others (the true greats, of course, have the ability to make memorable music in both ways: with boisterous sound and grand sweep as well as with intimate, crafted expression).
Speaking by phone during a tour stop in San Francisco, Forster, 31, readily acknowledged the gulf between his band and the common image of rock music as a powerhouse source of big sound and big display.
“I think we’re making big gestures in other areas,” he said in a temperate voice that sounded apt for a Go-Between. “We’re making big gestures in terms of songwriting. The softer, more concentrated poetic approach--to me, that’s a big gesture, and I’m very satisfied with it. Not to be a black-clad, big guitar rock band--not to do that is a big gesture nowadays.”
Forster takes heart from the recent success of such performers as Suzanne Vega, Tracy Chapman, Michelle Shocked and 10,000 Maniacs, who have shown that there is an audience for rock that’s moderate rather than blaring. So far in their seven-album career, the Go-Betweens’ successes have been critical, rather than commercial.
“We are making melodic, quite commercial music, and there’s just as good a chance of us being in the Top 40 as virtually anyone else,” Forster said. “But I know what we are, and I’m aware that we are something of an acquired taste.”
In establishing that rock doesn’t have to pack power chords and a big beat to succeed commercially, Vega, Chapman, Shocked and the rest have made their breakthroughs with socially and politically conscious songs. That’s a resource that the Go-Betweens, to date, have lacked. But Forster thinks it would be a mistake for the band to stray from the love songs and character studies that have been its strong suit, for the sake of following a successful pattern.
“I’ve never been satisfied with anything I’ve done in that area. It’s not my natural voice,” he said. “I don’t want to be seen as doing it in a token way. I do have social concerns and I’ve written things in private. But it’s not enough to feel it (if you) write it in a bad way.”
That leaves the Go-Betweens with romantic songwriting--music’s oldest profession. In most hands it’s the most tired and hackneyed musical profession. But the Go-Betweens’ strength lies in taking familiar forms, moods and ideas and clothing them with fresh melodic invention and lyrics that render often-expressed sentiments with imaginative images and narrative approaches.
“People tend to restrict themselves,” Forster said. “I think there’s a whole variety of subject matter and ideas that can be brought in that are willfully kept away from most love songs. People have this compulsion about (using cliches): ‘Love is raging like a storm,’ ‘The first time I saw you, baby.’ These sorts of phrases did have a power in about 1962. I don’t see that now.”
Rather than restating platitudes about love, McLennan and Forster both have a knack for setting their tales in landscapes or city streets. Both avoid the usual subjects--love’s first joyful bloom, or its after-the-breakup anguish--and focus on relationships in flux, where the potential for happiness or despair remains in the balance.
“Doesn’t matter how far you come, you’ve always got further to go,” McLennan sings at one point. Forster, a less plain-spoken writer, garbs a similar notion of love as perpetual ebb and flow in more poetic imagery: “Wave after wave, our tension and our tenderness.”
Rather than always drawing from personal romantic experience, Forster says he tends to jot down conversations and stories he hears, or to take a love song he admires as a model and recast its basic emotional content in his own terms.
Dwelling exclusively on personal experience, he says, would result either in lack of interesting material or emotional burnout. “Take Gerry Goffin and Carole King,” said Forster, who admits to enjoying analyzing and weaving “outlandish theories” about other songwriters’ work. “The amount of energy that was in their love songs--if they came close to living the kinds of songs they wrote, they’d have been emotionally dead many years ago.” Instead of true confessions, he said, the key is to use “a certain amount of invention and emotional heightening” to craft fictions that ring true.
One of the virtues of “16 Lovers Lane” is a more pared-down, direct approach to lyrics and musical arrangements than on some earlier Go-Betweens albums. Forster said that, in trying to write more simply, he unconsciously began to focus repeatedly on such basic images as water, colors, and clouds.
“It’s taken a long time,” he said, “and now I’m getting down to really simple, big things.”
The Go-Betweens, A House and Peter Fahey play Saturday at 9 p.m. at the Coach House, 33157 Camino Capistrano, San Juan Capistrano. Tickets: $15. Information: (714) 496-8930. The first two bands also appear Sunday at 9:30 p.m. at Bogart’s in the Marina Pacifica Mall, 6288 E. Pacific Coast Highway, Long Beach. Tickets: $12.50. Information: (213) 594-8975.

SAN ANTONIO – A 29-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly acting as a San Antonio Fire Department official and attempting to access confidential information at the University of Texas at San Antonio.
Michael Anthony Horton, Jr. was arrested Friday and charged with impersonation of a public servant, according to the Bexar County magistrate’s office.
On Nov. 7, Horton entered UTSA’s multidisciplinary studies building and acted as a lieutenant, according to a warrant for his arrest.
He told staff he was going to conduct fire hazard checks and check fire extinguishers, records state.
Employees “thought it odd” that Horton said he worked under the direction of “Senator Greg Brockhouse," according to the records. Brockhouse is a former District 6 councilman who ran against Ron Nirenberg for mayor earlier this year.
When staff asked for verification, Horton said documents were in his vehicle and he left to retrieve it. He never returned.
Staff told UTSA police that Horton allegedly attempted to access confidential information while in the multidisciplinary studies building.
Later that day, Horton attempted to conduct inspections in the university’s art building, the warrant states.
He allegedly took photos of OSHA safety data sheets and ink in a lab with his cell phone, records state.
On a separate date, Horton was detained for using fake SAFD badges in order to obtain free food, records state.
SAFD public information officer Joe Arrington said: "Any time the SAFD sends an inspector to a facility, the property management will have been contacted by the department prior to the arrival of a uniformed inspector.”
UTSA did not respond to a request for comment.

On Tuesday, Oct. 4, the Emery County Travel Bureau held an informal meeting in an attempt to discover what the local public wants the tourism arm of the county to focus on. ETV News attempted to attend the meeting, but was not allowed to attend and was excused from the meeting.
This was not a full public meeting and was not organized by the current county commissioners, even though they are the elected officials that are over such department. It did include two candidates who are running for county commissioner.
The Emery County Travel Bureau has come under fire recently as the San Rafael Swell and Manti-La Sal National Forest have both seen swelling visitation as a result of the COVID pandemic. However, the county has not seen the corresponding economic development from such visitation, although this increase in tourism does increase other strains on the county. Those conducting the meeting felt that this was the reason for the discourse in the recent elections.
In another earlier meeting about a future bike path, the local ranchers were not invited to the meeting, but attended anyway. The Emery County Travel Bureau employees expressed that bicycles and the corresponding human traffic would be preferable to the current grazing and cause less damage. These sentiments express some of the disconnect between the community’s views and the travel bureau.
Further, there is concern that Joe’s Fest fell on the same weekend the local ranchers were required to bring cows off the forest, which made such gathering difficult. Residents expressed that this further evidenced this disconnect between tourism and the traditions of the county.
Although ETV News was not allowed to attend the meeting, residents stated that they informed the travel bureau that they needed to focus on the core values of the community and the desires of current residents. They also expressed the difficulty in finding camping sites and the problems with the increased traffic in these secluded areas.
The public also questioned the economic benefit to Emery County, especially western Emery County. It was the consensus of the citizens in attendance that the economy of Emery County can best be strengthened by increasing industry, which requires available infrastructure.

Convert Your Garage In To A New Room
Most garages are filled with clutter. Instead of wasting this vital space, build a garden shed for storage and turn your garage into a new room for your house.
Is your garage effectively a storage space for junk? If so, you aren’t alone. Very few people actually use a garage for its intended purpose, housing a car. Rather, a large portion of your land is wasting away as an oversized storage container, and with that you’re saying a big fat ‘no’ to the prospect of increasing the value of your assets. Why not build a garden shed and use that as a storehouse instead?
The typical garden shed, easy to build and cheap to purchase, fulfils the same function as the average garage – storage. Moving your possessions into a shed frees up a whole new room attached to the side of your house. But what to do with all that space? Many of Essex’s home owners already have the answer – convert it into a brand new room and increase the value of your home. And with large homes in Great Baddow reaching record breaking prices, it’s no wonder than home renovations are so popular right now. Read on to find out how you too could increase the value of your property.
You can make countless improvements to your house to better utilise that wasted garage space. Although there are many kinds of garage conversions you can undertake, the most common involve transforming that space into a new or extended kitchen, creating a new living space or lounge, or adding a new bedroom. Many people are saving on expensive gym memberships by converting their garage into a gym. With gym memberships reaching £800 a year, and garage conversions costing around £12,000, you can pay for your own gym within 15 years – this may sound a long time, but remember, you’ll also add value to your home.
As these are the most popular options they are also the most likely to increase the value of your property. Converting your garage into another bedroom is an especially good idea for landlords or those looking to lease an individual room through a hosting company such as AirBnB, for example, a sure-fire way to increase the income from your property.
The questions most commonly associated with garage conversions focus on practicalities. Don’t be put off by the thought of gaining planning permission, the cost, or the conversion time. In actual fact, unlike building an extension to your house, a garage conversion doesn’t usually require any planning permission, as you are simply carrying out mostly interior work on an already existing part of your property. Traditionally constructed extensions can be expensive, but if you use modern materials, such as metal roof cladding, you can save money and have a better insulated home.
You do need to prove that your new room is habitable, and this is not usually a problem, although be sure to do further research before commencing work. In terms of cost, a garage conversion can actually save you money, especially if you’re in a situation where you desperately need a new bedroom. Compared with the cost of moving house or building an extension to meet your needs, a garage conversion is very cost effective and is usually a much quicker process. Many households have already proceeded with a garage conversion in Essex and are already seeing their return on investment.
Of course, adding more living space to your house is always going to increase its value, especially if the new space is designed well. But with house prices in Essex continuing to rise, now is the ideal time to undertake the conversation to get the absolute best return on your investment.
Even if you aren’t planning to sell your house any time soon, a conversion is sure to benefit you in the future, and in the short term will give you a bigger, better looking interior. With all these benefits, can you really afford to leave the potential of your garage wasting away? Buy a shed, convert your garage, and reap the rewards!

Lone Survivor director Peter Berg is taking heat after posting a transphobic Instagram meme comparing Caitlyn Jenner’s struggle to that of American veterans.
Berg posted a meme to Instagram that featured a side-by-side photo of a uniformed double-amputee next to a pre-transition Jenner. The caption on the meme reads, "One man traded 2 legs for the freedom of the other to trade 2 balls for 2 boobs. Guess which man made the cover of Vanity Fair, was praised for his courage by President Obama and is to be honored with the 'Arthur Ashe Courage Award' by ESPN?"
After receiving massive backlash on the first photo, Berg posted another picture, an infographic on the statistics of veteran suicides, and clarified his position in the caption.
"I have the utmost respect for Caitlyn Jenner and I am a strong supporter of equality and the rights of trans people everywhere," Berg wrote. "I also believe that we don't give enough attention to our courageous returning war veterans, many of whom have sacrificed their bodies and mental health for our country and our principals- principals that include the freedom to live the life you want to live without persecution or abuse."
Even more, AKM-GSI -- the photo agency that owns the shot of Jenner in the meme -- is requesting that Berg remove the post, not only because it "requires proper clearance regarding rights and fees" to use such an image but they also don’t like the context in which it was used.
"AKM-GSI supports both the LGBT community and our nation's troops and applaud their courage," the agency wrote in a letter to Berg’s camp. "To needlessly put these proud groups at odds with one another goes against the very freedoms our armed forces bravely fight to preserve and the sense of inclusion that Caitlyn Jenner is trying to foster."
"I know I'm clear with my responsibility going forward: To tell my story the right way, for me. To keep learning. To do whatever I can to reshape the landscape of how trans issues are viewed, how trans people are treated," she said. "And then, more broadly, to promote a very simple idea. Accepting people for who they are. Accepting people's differences."
"If you want to call me names, make jokes, doubt my intentions, go ahead because the reality is, I can take it," Jenner concluded. "But for the thousands of kids out there coming to terms with being true to who they are, they shouldn't have to take it."

THamizh will say there are 64 arts in the world and they are all DIVINBE!
International Artist’s Day on October 25th honors artists and all the contributions they make. The day also celebrates one of the most famous artists, Pablo Picasso. The Spanish artist was born on October 25th, 1881.
Artists work hard to create their work. They add beauty to the world around us. Most artists work with many different mediums. Not only that, but the word artist encompasses painters, photographers, sculptors, musicians, dancers, writers, actors, digital artists, and more. When one is born with a creative gift, that creativity flows into many different areas. For example, Picasso was a painter, sculptor, ceramicist, poet, and playwright.
Art came about long before written works. Since the beginning of time, art has communicated ideas and kept records of important events. Art offers a connection to the past. Artists record our history, indelibly. They also unearth truths. Through their work, they tell stories and pass on traditions. Artists have a unique way of connecting to the people around them. In a world full of bad news, one of their most important roles is to offer messages of hope.
HOW TO OBSERVE #InternationalArtistsDay
Several organizations around the world support international Artist’s Day. Some of these include the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Art Gallery of Ontario, National Galleries of Scotland, Jerusalem Foundation, and several others. To celebrate local artists, many cities, such as White Rock, British Columbia, and San Miguel, Spain, host fine arts festivals. Galleries around the world host open houses and invite the public to view their art for free or at a discounted price.
Here are a few arts by 5 year old grandson Master. OM in US.
The last one by S.Nivetha.
Let us wish all the artists a grand day!

Load Characteristics of 30 and 75 kW Agricultural Tractors during Field Operations
Published by the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers, St. Joseph, Michigan www.asabe.orgCitation: Paper number 131590237, 2013 Kansas City, Missouri, July 21 - July 24, 2013. (doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.13031/aim.20131590237) @2013
Authors: Myong-Jin Ryu, Sin-Woo Kang, Sun-Ok Chung, Yong-Joo Kim, Dae-Hyun Lee, Chang-Hyun Choi
Keywords: Agricultural Tractor Field Operation Pre-processing Load Analysis FFT Analysis
Abstract. Development of highly efficient and energy-saving tractors has been one of the issues in agricultural machinery. For design of such tractors, measurement and analysis of load on major power transmission parts of the tractors are most important pre-requisite tasks. Objectives of the paper were to measure load data of major power transmission and consuming parts of agricultural tractors, and to analyze time-domain and frequency-domain characteristics of the load data. Two different tractors (30 and 75 kW) were used in the study. A load measurement systems were equipped in the tractors, and the system consisted of strain-gauge, encoder, hydraulic pressure, and radar speed sensors to measure torque and rotational speed levels of transmission input shaft, PTO shaft, and driving axle shafts, pressure of the hydraulic inlet line, and travel speed, respectively, and the entire sensor data were collected at a 200-Hz rate. Plow tillage, rotary tillage, baling, wrapping, and loader operations were selected as major field operations of agricultural tractors. Transmission and PTO speed levels of each operation were selected through interviews with farmers. Before load data analysis, pre-processing of the sensor signals was performed. Measured load data were divided into five sections: driving, working, implement up, implement down, and turning. In each section, power levels of the major power transmission and consuming parts were calculated from the measured sensor values. Time domain descriptive analysis showed that average values of the power consumption of 75-kW tractor were in order of plow tillage (35.6 kW), rotary tillage (52.9 kW), baler operation (29.9 kW) and wrapping operation (10.4 kW), respectively. Frequency-domain analysis using the FFT technique was also conducted to understand cyclic load patterns and detect and reduce possible noise components. Expected cyclic load components were about 3, 35~42, and 40~50 Hz for the plow tillage, rotary tillage, and baler operation, respectively. FFT analysis resulted in similar frequency components, except in the case of tillage operations, possibly due to interaction between the implements and soils. Based on the results, load simulations of each operation would be possible using characteristics of the tractor load for life design of a hybrid tractor. And it would be also useful for soil specific field operations under optimum load conditions.(Download PDF) (Export to EndNotes)

How to sell cryptocurrency without loss trading tipsell bitcoin crypto coin on profit
You need to have a team of really smart people i. Only then the big enterprises will be okay to give their datasets so that you can work on them. Seriously, do yourself a favor and read it. Do your own research and invest only in coins whose blockchains have the potential to become the base layer for the applications that will run the industries that are currently overrun with middlemen.
INT is pretty new, it's growing quickly and is an almost guaranteed moon mission. The rest of my budget is currently in reserve for investing in two upcoming projects with massive potential: ShipChain and Winding Tree.
Here is what you do. Figure out how to make your own coin as a side project of your AI company. Also, Buying into the market right now is a bad idea, we are at the tail end of a nasty market wide crash.
But if you really do have an AI company, with a decent number of employees. Seriously look into making a company coin to integrate in your applications. Or some shit like that. The company is a long-term investment.
I've spent the last 7 years studying my ass off and riding the wave in Data Science and recently Deep Learning. I was so pissed seeing some people getting stupid rich in no time. I'd rather finish the journey in a lambo now. Retard here bought bitcoin 2 years ago to buy coke off the darkweb and now blew a shitload of money on an overpriced chauffer car, hehe congratulations! Just do your thing, research and invest in crypto, make your money at your own pace and intelligently.
AGI is a good one to look into that you may even be able to use to capitalize on your AI project. Thank you sir, for investing in our AI future. You did something great. I can also tell your uncle is new money. You literally got btfo the entire fucking universe. I'lll let you in on a tip, sell FUN to your uncle, and ask commission if it explodes.
Also since he is family of yours he should explain to you, how on earth he cashed out. You AND your uncle should get in on fun, no joke. He's just got lucky, you're the real ruccess story. Current ai is just fucking aggregated data chatbots.
You are literally trying to program a demon. Fuck you tard you should have started on simple apps and api fuckwit. Ai programmers are gonna get the rope. When they decide to pick a winner in the crypto game, what coin will they choose? Secondly, which such advanced technology, how feasible is to build a trading bot or a coin scout to determine the next x, I mean, the data is out there and you've a God damn AI company.

In just five minutes, files on a company's network can be encrypted and beyond its reach, according to Rik Ferguson, vice president of Security Research at Trend Micro.
Trend Micro has seen a lot of development around ransomware capabilities targeting businesses rather than consumers, Ferguson said during his keynote speech at Cloudsec Australia 2016 in Sydney on Thursday, with 1,800 new threats released out into the wild every five minutes.
Additionally, he said that more than 800,000 people are exposed to malicious URLs, exploit kits, phishing websites, malware, spam, and threats every five minutes, with almost 7,000 records on average being exposed in the same timeframe.
"Just so we can measure the speed of things, the fastest trains today ... can reach top speed of about 450km/h. That means in five minutes, you can travel close to 40 kilometres. That's an incredible distance to be able to go in a very, very short period of time," Ferguson pointed out.
"It gives you an idea of really how short that time is. In five minutes, [aside from] propelling you across the surface of the earth, it can also result in a number of other things.
"If you were hit by a crypto ransomware attack, within five minutes, all of the files on your computer or the files, god forbid, on all of the computers on your network ... can be encrypted and beyond your reach unless you paid criminals some money."
Ferguson said that universities, corporations, individuals, and healthcare organisations are all being targeted by ransomware that is being developed with specific capabilities to target enterprise.
"Ransomware used to be a consumer thing that would go after your computer, your things, and encrypt all that knowing that if you wanted to get all the files back, you were going to pay the ransom," he said.
"Over the course of the last calendar year, we saw 29 new families of ransomware, which was already a huge jump on the 13 in the year before that. In the first half of this year, we've already seen 79 new families of ransomware, which is a massive increase."
He said that criminals are investing time, money, and expertise into creating new tools, tool kits, and delivery mechanisms to get ransomware out there, because "this stuff pays dividends".
"One of the Trend Micro competitors out there, a startup, is offering a ransomware guarantee -- but their guarantee is not you'll never get hit by it; it's that if you do get hit by it, they'll pay the ransom for you. That's a cybersecurity company offering to give money to criminals," he said.
Over the last few years, Trend Micro has also seen an uptake in what Ferguson called business email compromise, or CEO fraud, which he said is a basic scam that pays criminals a lot of money.
"It's really simple. It's a criminal doing the research upfront, identifying the target organisation, looking at who fulfills which role, and then sending a fake email into that company or compromising a mailbox that belongs to an employee of that company," he said.
"[The criminals] target an email of the right victim, quite often the CFO or someone responsible in the finance department of the business, with requests from a known colleague to pay outstanding money or wire transfer money to a third-party supplier, often abroad, who is fictitious."
He said this practice has been hugely successful, with $2.3 billion lost to CEO compromise or fraud between 2013 and 2015, with an estimated 79 different countries being affected.
"A certain Australian government department, local council, lost over AU$200,000 to this scam by paying fake invoices. That's AU$200,000 of your money, I guess, at the end of the day," he said.
"Australia is not immune. You have the -- I don't know if it's the good fortune or the misfortune -- to speak one of the most simplest and widespread languages on the planet, and it's the most-targeted language when it comes to cybercrime globally."
Aside from being a VP with Trend Micro, Ferguson is also special adviser to Europol, project lead with the International Cyber Security Prevention Alliance, vice chair of the Centre for Strategic Cyber Security and Security Science, and an advisor to various UK government technology forums.
Also speaking at Cloudsec Australia 2016, Timothy Wallach, Supervisory Special Agent Cyber Taskforce with the FBI, said the two most significant increases the FBI has seen over the last couple of years has been ransonware or extortion, and business email compromise.
"This is probably the reason why we are seeing a decrease in the number of records stolen, because these schemes are much easier to monetise than compromising a network, stealing information, getting it to the dark web, and eventually on an online market," he said.
When it comes to consumer ransomware, Wallach said the requested amount is somewhat affordable, at around $450 to $500. However, this is a lot different in an enterprise environment, as the ransom is usually based on the number of endpoints or the servers that are compromised.
"If an organisation has 30,000 endpoints in its network and potentially that many endpoints have been struck with ransomware, it's generally 30,000 times one bitcoin," he said.
"The FBI does not recommend paying your ransom. That's a business decision an organisation has to make.
"When organisations pay ransom, they're involved in the criminal activity. It's encouraging the scheme to continue."
Additionally, Wallach highlighted that paying a ransom does not always mean that you are left with a clean system, or that everything an organisation had initially lost has been recovered.
"Whatever infected your organisation in the first place is still there," he said. "What we do recommend is prevention, business continuity, and remediation."
