The California-based company is adding equipment, resources and production space to accommodate production of USDA-certified meat and poultry-based products.

While we've looked at the key issues - including COVID-19 - facing food processors and A&E/Cs this year in FE's 2020 Annual Plant Construction Survey, there's a lot more to discuss.

FSMA’s Intentional Adulteration rule is still a work in progress for some sites, meanwhile processors and retailers are eyeing indoor grow facilities.

A Google search for “laminate retailers” will retrieve over a million results in about 30 seconds.

The technology, marketed as "P-SPC" (PET-based Solid Polymer Composite), offers manufacturers a PVC-free alternative that maintains the familiar characteristics of traditional SPC (Solid Polymer Composite) flooring products.

The threats facing food processing facilities are already here, and there is no longer any time to delay implementing minimum protections for these sites.

Investing in the right IoT hardware and software package can provide actionable data that will help improve business operations.

Connectivity provides manufacturing plant operations many advantages like increased productivity, faster identification and remediation of quality defects, and better collaboration across functional areas. However, this connectivity is dramatically increasing smart factories’ vulnerabilities and leaving them exposed to cybersecurity threats.

Ahmik Hindman, senior networks and security consultant at Rockwell Automation, recently spoke about how food manufacturers can assess cybersecurity risks, implement security patches and build a cybersecurity risk management system.

About our group and our work

The Arm Research Security Group works to "develop technology worthy of the trust that we place in it." We are not a "red team" identifying and publishing vulnerabilities in systems or suggesting point-fixes, but rather we seek to develop techniques and tools that eliminate large classes of vulnerabilities outright. To do this, we have projects broadly focussed on three research areas:

Security. How can we implement systems that remain secure even in the face of well-organised and extraordinarily imaginative adversaries? In this area we are looking at, for example, designing "responsive hardware" that can spot and react to early signs of security threats. We are also looking into how an emerging set of post-quantum ciphers can be efficiently implemented on power-constrained Arm microcontrollers.

Correctness. Can hardware and software systems be designed so that they are correct by construction? And what does "correct" even mean? We are currently trying to establish provable security properties for future extensions of the Arm architecture, and we recently started a collaboration with academics who are applying mathematical techniques to spot Spectre-like bugs in hardware designs.

Privacy. How can emerging technologies increase the privacy of computations and data? We are investigating how trusted hardware and remote attestation protocols can be used to implement efficient secure-multiparty computations. We are collaborating with academic partners around the design and implementation of hardware acceleration for homomorphic encryption. Other ongoing projects look at using the high assurance seL4 Operating System to ensure security and privacy on untrustworthy Edge devices.

The Portland-area hot sauce company celebrated 20 years of flavorful, spicy sauciness with a new snack. by Suzette Smith

Beloved local hot sauce makers Secret Aardvark celebrated 20 years of spiciness, in both seasoning and spirit, on Saturday at the Landmark Saloon, where—between sets by two of her favorite local groups, Silver Lake 66 and Ashleigh Flynn and the Riveters—Aardvark owner Stacy Moritz introduced a new product to the crowd, Aardvarks Nuts: Habanero Hazelnuts.

"Who doesn't like a hot nut?" she asked the crowd, wryly. 

Hazelnuts are the state nut of Oregon, but as it happens, Moritz told the Mercury she didn't enjoy them until her team made them hot. And that desire—to make the filbert something she likes—is the reasoning she gave for the snack experiment to be born.

To our taste buds, the Aardvarks Nuts are more flavor-forward than they are eye-watering hot, but the spice does sneak up, thanks to the folie à deux between the nut's oil and Aardvark's secret spices. It's a nice, unique mix that transforms the sweetness we'd generally expect from a hazelnut with the carrot and chili pepper profiles we love in Aardvark's original Habanero Hot Sauce.

Aardvark Nuts stay true to the company's local focus, starting out as Laurel Tree hazelnuts, which are grown in the Willamette Valley.

"We took the bougiest nut we could find, and made them Aardvark habanero spicy," Moritz said. "It's fun, it's hard, it's sweaty, it's hot." Much of that sentiment can also be found on the nut packaging, which stays true to Moritz's well-documented, saucy humor.

In a 2013 Mercury profile Moritz mused, "My dream is one day to have a guy in an Aardvark costume running down Hollywood Boulevard with his dick hanging out." Moritz remembered the profile and said that particular dream hasn't ever been realized, but if they were to do it now, she'd have to be the one wearing the costume.

Saturday's nut drop was a celebratory sneak peak. The company is still working to make the packaged snacks available for purchase, but they will be, at the very least, on the Secret Aardvark site by the new year. A representative from the company said they were just waiting on final approval of the product's non-GMO certification.

In the meanwhile, Aardvark fans can keep their eyes peeled for other upcoming sauces the company has in the works: Moritz said we could expect a serrano ranch sauce and a spicy mayo "that will actually be spicy."

In 2023, central banks around the world purchased significant amounts of gold. China's activity in this area was particularly noticeable as the nation's gold reserves increased by 225 tons over the year. An article published on Chinese Internet platform Baijiahao says that Russia actively participated in the gold rush to increase its precious metals reserves. As a result, Russia's gold reserves reached a record 2.36 thousand tons. Russia is thus ranked fifth following the USA, Germany, Italy and France.

The prosecutor on Thursday requested 9.5 years in prison for American basketball player Brittney Griner, accused of smuggling hash oil, RIA Novosti correspondent reports from the Khimki courtroom. “By partial addition, I finally ask you to appoint nine years and six months in prison with a sentence to be served in a general regime colony with a fine of one million rubles,” the state prosecutor said in his speech. Griner pleaded guilty in court, but stressed that she had no intent to commit a crime, and she "collected the bag in a hurry." During the consideration of the case, it became known that a doctor from the state of Arizona prescribed marijuana to her instead of traditional painkillers due to the side effects of the latter.

The recent flare-up of conflict in the Middle East, particularly triggered by the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Iran by a suspected Israeli airstrike, represents not only a humanitarian and political crisis but also a looming energy crisis ahead. As tensions between Israel, backed by the United States, and Iran, along with its allies like Hezbollah and other Middle Eastern states, intensify, the risks to energy resources and supply routes, both on land and at sea, are becoming increasingly evident. The region's significant oil and gas reserves, crucial to global markets, are now under threat, and any disruption of these supplies could have far-reaching consequences for energy security worldwide. The assassination of Haniyeh, a central figure in Hamas, has ignited a dangerous new phase in the already volatile Middle East. Iran, a key supporter of Hamas and Hezbollah, has found itself at the heart of a growing coalition of Middle Eastern countries rallying against Israel. This development risks drawing the entire region into a broader confrontation, with profound implications not just for regional stability but also for global energy markets.
