Patented Feb. 5, 1952 METHOD OF MAKING A TORTILLA FLOUR William R. Lloyd, Austin, Tex., and Ricardo Millarcs Sotres, Mexico City, Mexico, assignon to Amour Research Foundation oi Illinois Institute oi Technology, Chicago, Ill., a corporation of Illinois No Drawing. Application December 6, 1951,
Serial No. 260,318 4 4 Claims. (Cl. 99-93) This invention relates to a method of making a tortilla flour from the whole grain of corn, or maize.
The present application is a continuation-inpart of our copending application Serial No. 60,395, filed November 16, 1948.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a method, suitable for use on a commercial scale, for the preparation of a tortilla flour which is relatively more stable and which may be formed into a dough having improved taste, texture and elastic properties as compared with the dough made from tortilla flour produced by heretofore known commercial processes.
We have now found that prior commercial processes for the preparation of tortilla flour can be improved by a careful control of the conditions under which the steeping, milling, drying and screening and remilling of coarse particles are carried out. These several steps are hereinafter described in detail.
S teeping The steeping of the corn is carried out in the presence of watercontaining a small amount of lime, added either in the form of CaO, or in the form of Ca(OH)z. The lime is added to hot water, preferably while the water is at or near its boiling point, in an amount equal to from 0.90 to 1.25% calculated as CaO by weight of the corn to be prepared. The amount of water used is in large excess of the weight of the corn to be treated, and may suitably be 180% of the weight of the corn. After adding the lime to the hot water and stirring to make a homogeneous suspension, the corn is next added and the steeping carried on for a sufllcient length of time for the corn to take up between 35 and 50% by weight of water. During the steeping operation, the water, containing lime as aforesaid, is recirculated through the mass of corn, which may be supported on a perforated false bottom, preferably of conical form.
While the lime-containing water may be at or near its boiling point prior to the addition of the com, the temperature immediately drops upon the addition of the corn to not over about 90 C. and is held at or below that temperature during the remainder of the steeping operation. Preferably, no more heat is added to the batch during the steeping operation. although, if desired, suflicient heat may be added to maintain the temperature during the steeping operation at or about 90 C. Actual boiling (at 100 C.) is to be avoided since boiling of the corn for any appreciable length of time would result in a breakdown of the structure of the starch granule, with the resultant formation of a paste.
The time of steeping will depend upon the size of the batch prepared and the temperature that is maintained during the steeping operation. For small amounts of corn, say, up to 300 kg. in weight, the steeping time may be about four hours, but for larger batches of corn, the steeping time may be as little as from one to two hours. This is because in the case of small batches, there are higher radiation losses. so that if no heat is added, the temperature drops more rapidly and therefore the average temperature during steeping is lower than in the case of larger batches, where the radiation losses are lower. The actual length of the steeping operation is not critical, so long as the operation is carried out for a suflicient length of time and at a suflicient temperature, not above 0., for the corn to pick up an amount of water equal to between 35 and 50% by weight, and preferably between 35 and 45% by weight of'water.
The recirculation of water during the steeping operation is carried on in order to have the same temperature and concentration of lime throughout the mass during the entire operation. This is very important in order to assure that each and every one of the corn kernels reaches the same concentration of water and lime by the end of the steeping period. When the steeping time is over, the corn has reached a moisture content of between 35 and 50% (wet basis) and a lime content of between 0.25 to 0.30%, calculated as CaO (dry basis).
At the end of the steeping operation, thesteep water is drained oif by means of the same recirculating pump and the batch of corn washed with an equal amount of clean cold water. The steep water is then filtered to separate the insoluble solids present in the form of a colloidal suspension, and the clear water, containing part of the dissolved solids of the corn, is sent back to a storage tank to be reused for steeping. This procedure permits some savings in soluble corn solids, thereby increasing the final yield. The
insoluble solids are mixed with the dry mate-- rial coming from the corn cleaners, milled and dried to give a product that is suitable for use as cattle feed.
The drained, steeped corn is then ready to be milled.
Milling The wet corn, containing 35 to 50% moisture (wet basis) and 0.25 to 0.30% lime (CaO) (dry basis) is ground in an impact mill, preferably a hammermill of the type referred to as a "Mikro pulverizer mill. During this grinding operation, the product reaches a temperature between 35 and 50 0., due to the heat developed by the action of the hammers hitting the wet corn and making the resulting product go through the screen of the mill. The moisture content of between 35 and 50% water (wet basis), or, preferably, between 35 and 45% water, is maintained during the milling operation.
It is during the milling operation and probably due to the mechanical work performed by the hammers on the wet corn that the protein and starch are developed to impart to the product the required characteristics that will, when the fiour is used in the making of tortillas, give cohesion to the dough and elasticity to the final tortilla cake. Cohesion of the dough is the property that permits a small ball of dough to be worked into a thin circular disk, (from to inch thick), by means of pressing it between the hands or any other mechanical device. Elasticity" of the tortilla is the property that permits the tortilla to be rolled and then unrolled to its original form, without breaking or rupturing the surface.
It is believed that the milling of the corn under the conditions specified above has substantially the same effect upon the product as has the kneading of wheat flour dough in the making of bread, thus developing the proteins present in the corn. As the corn proteins are of lower quality than those of wheat grain, it is understandable that for a similar development in the case of corn, a more drastic treatment is required, and that while in the case of wheat fiour dough a kneading operation is sufiicient, the more drastic action of a hammermill or a buhrstone mill is required in the making of tortilla flour from corn.
The product from the milling operation is a wet fiour containing from about 35 to 50% moisture (wet basis), and preferably from 35 to 45% moisture. This wet flour has already all of the required characteristics to produce a dough with adequate cohesion, and to produce from the dough tortillas having the desired elasticity.
The batch, after milling, is next dried.
Drying The wet flour goes direct from the mill into the drier. Preferably, a "flash drier" type is used that embodies the basic principles of instantaneous drying. The wet fiour falls into a drying duct through which passes a current of hot gases or hot air at a temperature between 250 C. and 400 C. The drier is constructed in such a way that the product enters the drying duct as closely as possible to the entrance of the centrifugal fan or blower that produces the air current, and the totallength of the drying duct is such as to give a drying time of between 0.3 and 2.0 seconds. Such a drying system permits the drying of the wet flour in a fraction of a second, due to the fact that the finely dispersed product is in intimate contact with the hot gases,
' which, in turn, are at such a high temperature as to effect instantaneous evaporation of the water on the surfaces of the fine flour particles. The particles themselves do not remain within the stream of hot gases long enough to permit the solid material to reach a temperature above about 55 C., which is low enough to avoid the denaturation of the corn protein and the gelatinization of the starch that ispresent.
At the end of the drying duct, a cyclone type separator receives and separates the fiour from the air stream. The fiour comes out of the separator at a moisture content of between 10 and 12% (wet basis), or at least below 14%. The moisture content should not be reduced to as low as 5%, however, since if it were, the flour would lose all the proper characteristics and yield a dough and tortillas with unacceptable characteristics.
Screen and milling of coarse particles After discharge from the separator, or collector, the dry flour is then classified, preferably by use of a rotary screen. In this screen the fines coming through have a size of 40 mesh or finer and are ready for packaging and marketing, while the coarser particles, having a size larger than 40 mesh, are sent back to a hammermill to be re-ground in the dry state and reduced to a size equal to or smaller than 40 mesh.
This remilling step is important, since it has been found that the particle size has a great influence in the handling characteristics of the dough, and also in the texture and appearance of the final tortilla. The best results are obtained from a flour that has 96 to 100% of the particles of 40 mesh size or finer, but not more than 20 that pass through an BO-mesh sieve.
After remilling, the particles are reincorporated into the stream of fine flour to mix therewith and be packaged.
The nnal flour thus prepared for marketing may be converted into a dough by the simple addition of about an equal weight of cold water. The dough thus prepared has the properties that are desired with respect to elasticity, stability, and smoothness of texture, and is superior in these respects to dough made from flour produced by heretofore known commercial processes.
The dough so prepared is extremely elastic and may be formed into a conventional tortilla cake or may be used in the manufacture of tamales by the addition of suitable meat sauce and spices. The process herein disclosed may be applied to any type of corn, or maize, produced in any part of Mexico or in any other country, without having to add to the flour so produced such materials as vegetable proteins or other ingredients, which have the property of imparting to the fiour the desired characteristics of cohesion, elasticity, and the like and which have heretofore been added to tortilla fiour produced by prior methods. In practicing the method of our invention, it is unnecessary to cool or dry the corn before grinding; the drying process to which the fiour is subjected after milling does not require the extraction of such large amounts of water as is necessary in the practice of prior methods, as for example, in those procedures involving direct dehydration of ordinary dough; the cost of production by our method is much lower than that in the case of previously used methods because of more efficient operation of the milling and drying processes; and the flour obtained in accordance with our method is the first commercially made product from which tortillas of fully suitable quality and taste have been made available to the public.
From the thorough and complete study of several doughs, we have found that the typical elastic properties that are desirable in the dough, as well as in the resulting tortilla, depend upon adequate hydration and structural development of the corn proteins. We have found it necessary to grind the corn with a moisture content of at least 35%, since if the corn is ground with a water content less than 35%, adequate hydration and development of the protein 'will not take place and the tortillas thus obtained are brittle and break when rolled. We have also found that the structural development of the corn protein can be most suitably accomplished by the grinding of the corn only if its water content is at least 35% and its temperature is raised to between 35 and 50 C. and only if the grinding is carried out with a slight excess of lime alkalinity, suilicient to maintain a pH of 7 or higher in the corn itself. When the corn is ground under these conditions, changes occur in the arrangement and in the association of the protein molecules, which consequently produce the adequate elastic properties.
It will be understood that modifications and variations may be effected without departing from the scope of the novel concepts of the present invention.
We claim as our invention:
1. The method of preparing a tortilla flour, which comprises steeping whole corn in water containing an amount of lime in excess of that required to neutralize the acidity of the corn and i leave a slight excess of lime in the corn, the steeping being carried out at a temperature below 100 C. for a sufiicient period of time to bring the water content of the corn to between 35 and 50% by weight (wet basis), grinding the product resulting from this steeping step and while the product still contains between 35 and 50% of water by weight (wet basis), the grinding operation being conducted under such conditions as to cause development of the protein material in the corn, and drying the ground corn product at a temperature such that the product never reaches the gelatinization temperature of the starch .content of the corn nor the temperature at which the protein content becomes denatured, the drying being continued until the moisture content of the dried product is less than 14% by weight.

EDDIE PALMIERI, known for his charismatic power and bold, innovative drive, has a musical career that spans over 50 years as a pianist, composer, and bandleader of Salsa and Latin jazz orchestras. The Honorary Doctor of Music from Berklee College of Music has been awarded ten Grammy ® Awards and was honored with the 2013 National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Masters Award. His recordings have become classics with such hits as “Muñeca,” “Vamonos Pa’l Monte,” “Puerto Rico,” and “Azucar Pa’ Ti” which has been included in the National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress. Born in Spanish Harlem, he started piano studies at an early age and began his career as a pianist in the ‘50s with Eddie Forrester’s Orchestra. He spent a year with Tito Rodriguez before forming the legendary Conjunto La Perfecta in 1961. With an infectious sound, Palmieri’s band soon joined the ranks of Machito, Tito Puente, Tito Rodriguez and other leading orchestras of the day. His discography includes over 36 titles, of which ten have received Grammy Awards, including Best Latin Album for The Sun of Latin Music (1975), Unfinished Masterpiece (1976), Palo Pa’ Rumba (1984), Solito (1985) and La Verdad (1987). He received both a Grammy and a Latin Grammy award for Obra Maestra/Masterpiece (2000) with Tito Puente, the Best Latin Jazz Album Grammy Awards for Listen Here! (2006), and Simpatico (2007), a collaborative effort with trumpet master Brian Lynch. His April 2017 album Sabiduria/Wisdom, a fusion of jazz, funk, and Latin with Afro-world rhythms, had its World Premiere at Lehman Center for the Performing Arts in 2013. Also, in 2013, Palmieri was honored with the NEA Jazz Master Award and the Latin Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences’ Lifetime Achievement Award. In 2015, he released a new big band version of his classic composition Vámonos P’al Monte, along with the first-ever studio recording of another popular Palmieri original Pa’ La Ocha Tambo. Palmieri continues to innovate, releasing the Full album Full Circle in July 2018, that contains fresh renditions of eight classic salsa tracks featuring a stunning group of guest musicians including Brian Lynch, Conrad Herwig, “Little” Johnny Rivera, and Luques Curtis. In December 2018, Eddie Palmieri released his second album of 2018, Mi Luz Mayor, which features special guest artists Gilberto Santa Rosa, Hermán Olivera, and Carlos Santana. The album, which took four years to complete, is dedicated to Palmieri’s late wife Iraida and contains new recordings of the songs that they enjoyed together.
MICHEL CAMILO is a pianist and composer that flavors his tunes with the spice of Caribbean rhythms and jazz harmonies that bridge the genres of jazz, classical, accessible, and world music. Born in the Dominican Republic, Camilo studied for 13 years at the National Conservatory, earning a Professorship in Music degree. At age 16 he joined the Dominican Republic’s National Symphony Orchestra. Moving to New York City in 1979, he studied at Mannes College and the Juilliard School. Camilo’s major break came in 1983 when he substituted for Tito Puente’s pianist at the Montreal Jazz Festival. Based on that performance, he was able to join Paquito D’Rivera’s band, recording two albums and touring internationally over the next four years. One of Camilo’s early tunes, “Why Not?”, became a 1983 Grammy Award-winning hit for Manhattan Transfer. 1988 marked the release of his self-titled 4th album and the first on a major record label (Sony). That album, Michel Camilo, became an instant success and held the top jazz album spot for ten weeks. His next two releases, On Fire (1989), and On the Other Hand (1990) also hit the number one position in radio airplay. Camilo has performed with the biggest stars of both jazz and Latin music, including Eddie Palmieri, Dizzy Gillespie (who has added Camilo’s composition “Caribe” to his repertoire), Herbie Hancock, Mongo Santamaria, Joe Lovano, Gonzalo Rubalcaba, and Chucho Valdés. He served two years as Jazz Creative Director Chair of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and a five-year tenure as Musical Director of the Heineken Jazz Festival (Dominican Republic). He has been awarded an honorary Doctorate by the Berklee College of Music, where he also holds a Visiting Professorship. Since Camilo’s 1985 Carnegie Hall debut he has become a prominent figure at festivals throughout the world and has been honored with numerous awards including a Grammy Award, four Latin Grammy’s, multiple Grammy and Latin Grammy nominations, an Emmy (for the Goodwill Games Theme song), and many international awards, the latest being this year’s Klavier Festival Ruhr Award from the most crucial piano festival in Germany. June 2019 marked the release of his 25th album, Essence, a dynamic big band album stacked with Camilo classics.

New study says today's young people are all virgins who don't party
I am both jealous and scared of today's teens.
Maybe I was just a huge geek when I was young, or have turned into a huge geek now I'm old, but either way they're much more advanced than I remember being at that age.
But apparently they're not, as the Journal for Child Development has found out with a recently released study.
They've been analysing 13 to 19 year-olds for the last 40 years and have conclusive evidence that today's teenagers are more likely to be virgins and less likely to party.
Compared to previous generations, this age group nowadays are less likely to have sex, do drugs, or drink alcohol until they reach adulthood.
Interestingly, though, they're also less likely to do other grown-up stuff like learn to drive, get a job, or move out.
Conclusive evidence that we're all failing at adulting.
Feel sorry for them though, missing out on drinking White Lightning in the park and getting off with Darren from youth club. Instead they're LEARNING and using TECHNOLOGY?! Nerds.

AMETEK Land to Present on Particulate Matter Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems at CEM India 2019 - CLAIM YOUR FREE VIP TICKET
AMETEK Land will deliver a technical presentation on particulate matter continuous emissions monitoring systems (PM CEMS) at CEM India Emissions Monitoring Conference and Exhibition, happening September 24 – 26 in New Delhi, India (Stand No. 58).
Power, Combustion and Environmental at AMETEK Land will present “Choosing the right measurement technology for a PM-CEMS” as part of the particulate monitoring session.
The presentation looks at the physical principles underlying the most widely used PM measurement techniques and considers a wide variety of methods, such as commercial instruments employing transmissometry, laser light scattering, charge transfer and beta ray absorption, and then instrument approvals and compliance with standards.
Derek Stuart explains: “Progress is being made to improve the environmental performance of the power generation industry in India. The key to this is accurate measurement of stack emissions, however the choice of monitors can be overwhelming. No one method is ideal for all applications – the best choice depends on the emission limit, the nature of the process and the availability of skilled personnel to service the instruments. In my presentation, I will look at the best options for a number of the most common measurement scenarios.”
Following on from the successes of the first CEM India conference and exhibition, AMETEK Land will return this year to demonstrate its range of high-accuracy opacity and particulate matter (PM) monitors as well as its portable gas analyser, the Lancom 4, which is capable of measuring up to eight flue gases in a range of combustion and emissions processes. India is among the world's fastest growing economies and currently has some of the worst air pollution, ranking tenth in the list of median PM concentrations published by the World Health Organization. To tackle that issue, the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) of India has taken an important step to adopt Continuous Emissions Monitoring (CEM) Systems.
At the exhibition, AMETEK Land will exhibit its 4500 MkIII opacity and a new opacity monitor, soon to be released, which set the industry standards for compliance opacity and dust concentration monitoring. With its patented technologies, the 4500 MkIII monitor achieves the highest available specification for the principal performance parameters as defined by the internationally recognized ASTM Standard D 6216-12.
In addition, AMETEK Land’s Lancom 4 portable gas analyser ensures ease-of-use on site for combustion efficiency and emissions monitoring measurements in all boiler system and pollutant gas processes. The Lancom 4 advanced sample conditioning system can monitor up to nine different gases and carry out a total of 17 measurement parameters simultaneously, offering a very high level of accuracy.
All AMETEK Land systems on display at CEM India 2019 have industrial applications in the power sector for improving process control, quality assurance and control and reduced life-cycle costs.
Following on from the success of the first CEM India event held in 2017, the forthcoming CEM India conference is set to provide international delegates and visitors with in-depth information on Indian regulation and policy, monitoring guidelines, calibration and quality control.

Page: Family breakdown goes biracial
I know from past experience that I'm going to upset some folks by saying this, so brace yourselves: Marriage is very important and beneficial to the raising of children, but there's little evidence it fights crime.
I bring this up in response to the sincere, well-meaning readers who say we won't be able to do anything -- anything -- about urban violence until we reverse the decline of marriage in African-American households.
I'm as troubled as any other concerned black parent about the rise in out-of-wedlock births in black America since the 1950s. But I am even more troubled when I hear people who should know better try to lay every social problem, including the nation's current gun violence debate, at the feet of single-parenting -- as if nothing else mattered.
Heather Mac Donald, a writer and analyst at the conservative Manhattan Institute, helped set this tone in a widely-circulated 2010 essay in City Magazine on black-on-black violence in the Chicago neighborhood where Obama famously worked for four years as a community organizer.
Her conclusion: Obama and "decades of failed social policy" in crime-plagued low-income neighborhoods on the city's far South Side "ignored the primary cause of their escalating dysfunction: the disappearance of the black two-parent family."
For those who read down far enough, she does mention that Obama is aware of the problem. She quotes his call for cultural change in a widely covered Father's Day speech in Chicago during his 2008 campaign.
"If we are honest with ourselves, we'll admit that ... too many fathers (are) missing from too many lives and too many homes," he said then. "We know the statistics -- that children who grow up without a father are five times more likely to live in poverty and commit crime; nine times more likely to drop out of school and 20 times more likely to end up in prison."
That's the speech, you may recall, that upset the Rev. Jesse Jackson as too condescending, although most black voters didn't seem to mind.
Mac Donald wants more than that. She dismissed Obama's "bromides about school spending, preschool programs, visiting nurses, global warming, sexism, racial division and income inequality." Such spending will be wasted, she said, until poor black Chicagoans curb unwed pregnancies and stop the "culture of illegitimacy."
I believe quite the opposite, that we can't expect to see much of a turnaround in out-of-wedlock births as long as we have rising educational and income inequality -- and not just in black America.
A variety of sociologists and economists from the ideological left, right and nonpartisan middle have found downward mobility to be a shared experience across racial lines for many working-class and middle-class Americans, especially since the Great Recession.
As a headline on an article by Isabel Sawhill, a family life expert at the Brookings Institution, in the latest Washington Monthly put it: "Family Breakdown Is Now Biracial."
Daniel Patrick Moynihan's controversial 1965 report, titled "The Negro Family: The Case for National Action," she writes, "looks remarkably similar to a profile of the average white family today," with the sharpest declines in marriage rates occurring among the least educated of both races.
Marriage, in a sense, has become a new symbol of status, especially for the college educated. "The group for whom marriage has largely disappeared now includes not just unskilled blacks but unskilled whites as well," she writes. Indeed, for younger women without a college degree, unwed childbearing is the new normal."
Sawhill does not cheer this development, which she and other experts following in Moynihan's path have found to be a pattern throughout the developed world.
If the rise in out-of-wedlock births was tied that closely to crime and violence, I think we would see a more consistent pattern connecting them. Instead, we see crime going sharply up and down in various cities and across the country, while the rise in unwed childrearing steadily climbs.
A development this huge calls for more than simple one-size-fits-all analysis. I'm not saying that government programs provide all the answers, but we're only beginning to ask the right questions.

Question about Computers & Internet
I accidentally plugged a class 2 transformer, 6v (to power speakers) into the back of my monitor (Dell 2007WFP widescreen), where it said speaker power. Well I only plugged the round part into the monitor, I did NOT plug the ac adapter into the wall socket, but after a few seconds the monitor started to flicker and it went out. Now the whole monitor, green light, display everything will not work. I now realize the monitor was outputing 12v dc for speakers not needing the external power like I thought and was giving it. The class 2 transformer was warm and i unplugged it but the damage is done. My question is how do I get this fixed? I took the monitor apart to look at the circuit boards and see if i could find a burnt component but no luck. The fuses seem ok on the PCB. What can I do? Can Best Buy fix this type of problem??
Yes, If you have it sent in for repair they may be able to do it. Geek Squad would not be able to do it in the store. Although in most cases it is more costly then a new monitor. If it is still under warranty I would try and do it that way.

Springfield Armory SOCOM rifles are compact, powerful, close-quarter battle rifles. But being chambered for 7.62mm NATO. They still pack plenty of punch to reach out and make that crucial shot at a distance. They feature 16-inch barrels (the shortest allowed for a civilian-owned rifle) made possible by a re-tuned gas system. A proprietary, high-efficiency muzzle brake virtually eliminates muzzle rise, enabling you to stay on target for faster, more accurate follow-up shots. The new Cluster Rail System of the SOCOM II further enhances its versatility by accommodating virtually any optic, light or other accessory designed to fit a standard picatinny rail.

Staff members are on the frontline when it comes to cyberattacks against their employers. They’re increasingly seen by hackers as a weak link in the cybersecurity chain. That’s why most threats today come via email, aimed squarely at tricking the recipient into downloading malware, divulging log-ins or making wire transfers to the attacker. Trend Micro predicts cumulative losses from Business Email Compromise (BEC) attacks alone will hit $9 billion this year.
As attacks get smarter, so must we. That’s why Trend Micro is introducing two innovative new offerings to help in the fight against email scammers. One is a new AI-powered feature designed to improve BEC detection while the other will help IT teams train their employees to spot phishing attacks. It’s one more step towards taking the fight to the bad guys.
The email threat
There’s no doubt that email is the primary threat vector for attackers targeting organizations today. The Trend Micro™ Smart Protection Network™ blocked more than 66 billion threats in 2017, over 85 percent of which were emails containing malicious content.
BEC is an increasingly favored tactic as the rewards can be huge. It’s hard for many organizations to spot because attacks typically don’t contain any malware; they rely mainly on social engineering of the carefully selected recipient. That recipient, usually in the finance department, is sent an email impersonating the CEO, CFO, or other executive requesting that they urgently make a wire transfer or reply with sensitive data. With average losses topping $130,000 per incident, it’s no surprise that we saw an increase in attempted BEC attacks on our customers of 106 percent between 1H and 2H 2017.
This is not to underplay the impact phishing continues to have on organizations around the globe. By targeting employees, attackers can spread malware and covertly infiltrate networks to steal sensitive data and IP. Results from the Black Hat Attendee Survey last year illustrate the impact this trend is having on organizations.
The potential financial and reputational damage of such attacks is obvious. In the face of these rising threat levels we must hit back — and we have, with two new free tools.
Writing Style DNA includes new AI-powered technology that learns how executives write so that it can spot impersonation attempts, and sends a warning to the implied sender, recipient and the IT department. It sounds straightforward but requires serious computing power and smart AI algorithms to achieve. For each user, a personal model is created using 7,000 features of writing characteristics to train the system — things like punctuation and sentence length. We convert emails to meta data before analyzing, to protect customer’s privacy and meet compliance requirements.
Focusing on the writing style in the body of the email complements existing techniques that analyze behavior and intention. Some of these current techniques can fail if, for example, the attacker uses compromised accounts at legitimate domains to hide the true origin of the email. It’s one more tool to help IT teams push back the rising tide of email threats, and it will be made available at no extra cost as part of Cloud App Security (CAS) for Office 365 and ScanMail for Microsoft Exchange (SMEX),
First line of defense
Technology is a vital layer of defense to keep email threats at bay. But what about your employees, who are often thought of as the ‘weakest link?’
We can help here, too. A new free SaaS-based phishing simulation service can help IT teams train employees to spot attempted attacks before they have a chance to impact the organization. Phish Insight is all about enhancing awareness of your staff. All it takes is one administrator, four steps and five minutes to run a real-world exercise designed to mimic what employees might see at their desks.
With the detailed reporting results, displayed in a handy graphical interface, IT teams can then tailor their education programs to make lasting behavioral changes.
Phish Insight is now available free of charge to all organizations of all sizes around the world. The service has been available for a year in Asia and has generated huge interest as organizations leverage it to turn their weakest link into a formidable first line of defense. As email threats continue to rise, we’d encourage you to take a look.
To stop phishing and social engineering attacks it is critical to make both your people and your technology smarter. Phish Insight trains your people to better spot phishing attacks and Writing Style DNA confirms the authorship of an email to prevent CEO fraud and other types of BEC attacks.

A friend and I are planning a 160 miles snowmachine trip around Beluga Mt.
Because there is no trail for 30 miles, it will take two days. If no one has been to Trinity Lake, we could be breaking trail for another 40 miles. You will need a long track, pull sled for gas and winter camping gears.
