During a ransomware hack, attackers infiltrate a target’s computer system and encrypt its data. They then demand a payment before they will release the decryption key to free the system. This type of extortion has existed for decades, but in the 2010s it exploded in popularity, with online gangs holding local governments, infrastructure and even hospitals hostage. Ransomware is a collective problem—and solving it will require collaborative action from companies, the government and international partners.
As long as victims keep paying, hackers will keep profiting from this type of attack. But cybersecurity experts are divided on whether the government should prohibit the paying of ransoms. Such a ban would disincentivize hackers, but it would also place some organizations in a moral quandary. For, say, a hospital, unlocking the computer systems as quickly as possible could be a matter of life or death for patients, and the fastest option may be to pay up.
Collective action can help. If all organizations that fall victim to ransomware report their attacks, they will contribute to a trove of valuable data, which can be used to strike back against attackers. For example, certain ransomware gangs may use the exact same type of encryption in all their attacks. “White hat” hackers can and do study these trends, which allows them to retrieve and publish the decryption keys for specific types of ransomware. Many companies, however, remain reluctant to admit they have experienced a breach, wishing to avoid potential bad press. Overcoming that reluctance may require legislation, such as a bill introduced in the Senate last year that would require companies to report having paid a ransom within 24 hours of the transaction.

In the second paragraph of the text,
the word “disincentivize” could be correctly replaced by
deter without any change in the meaning of the sentence.

Can alternative tailings disposal become the norm in mining?
There is no doubt that the resources extracted from mining
are critical to our way of life. Likely, you’re reading this on your
computer, smartphone, or tablet. Mining touches all our lives
daily (in addition to metals used in electronics, think about that
can of soda you are drinking, or the aggregate used to pave your
driveway). The industry works hard to make sure the net impact
is positive.
However, the waste associated with mining, both past and
present, is an unavoidable result of conventional mineral
processing. In the future it may be possible to extract metals like
copper and gold without crushing and grinding the ore down to
fine particle size and adding considerable quantities of liquid,
resulting in conventional tailings.
What are the challenges associated with conventional
tailings? Well, it is all about water. Managing seepage from the
tailings themselves, monitoring pore water pressure within the
tailings dams or designing facilities to safely store or pass flood
events. Because such a significant quantity of water is added
during mineral processing, “conventional” tailings dams store the
tailings as a slurry. Water within the tailing material is either
evaporated, migrates as seepage or remains entrained within the
tailings impoundment. Removing water prior to disposal through
various means is considered “alternative” disposal. Mining low
grades of ore has resulted in increased water use per unit of
production. In some cases, the availability of water is one of the
greatest constraints on mine development.

In a world where many of us are glued to our
smartphones, Dulcie Cowling is something of an anomaly — she
has ditched hers. The 36-year-old decided at the end of last year
that getting rid of her handset would improve her mental health.
So, over Christmas she told her family and friends that she was
switching to an old Nokia phone that could only make and
receive calls and text messages.
She recalls that one of the pivotal moments that led to her
decision was a day at the park with her two boys, aged six and
three: “I was on my mobile at a playground with the kids and I
looked up and every single parent — there was up to 20 — were
looking at their phones, just scrolling away,” she says.
“I thought ‘when did this happen?’. Everyone is missing
out on real life. I don’t think you get to your death bed and think
you should have spent more time on Twitter, or reading articles
online.”
Ms Cowling, who is a creative director at London-based
advertising agency Hell Yeah!, adds that the idea to abandon her
smartphone had built up during the covid-19 lockdowns.
“I thought about how much of my life is spent looking at
the phone and what else could I do. Being constantly connected
to lots of services creates a lot of distractions, and is a lot for the
brain to process.”
She plans to use the time gained from quitting her
smartphone to read and sleep more.
About nine out of 10 people in the UK now own a
smartphone, a figure broadly replicated across the developed
world. And we are glued to them — one recent study found that
the average person spends 4.8 hours a day on their handset.
Yet for a small, but growing number of people, enough is
enough.
Alex Dunedin binned his smartphone two years ago.
“Culturally we have become addicted to these tools,” says the
educational researcher and technology expert. “They are blunting
cognition and impeding productivity.”
He has become happier and more productive since he
stopped using a smartphone, he says.
Mr Dunedin doesn’t even have an old-fashioned mobile
phone or even a landline anymore. He is instead only
electronically contactable via emails to his home computer.
“It has improved my life,” he says. “My thoughts are freed
up from constantly being cognitively connected to a machine that
I need to feed with energy and money. I think that the danger of
technologies is that they are emptying our lives.”
Yet, while some worry about how much time they spend
on their handset, for millions of others they are a godsend.
“More than ever, access to healthcare, education, social
services and often to our friends and family is digital, and the
smartphone is an essential lifeline for people,” says a
spokesperson for UK mobile network Vodafone.
“We also create resources to help people get the most
from their tech, as well as to stay safe when they’re online —
that’s hugely important.”
Suzanne Bearne. The people deciding to ditch their smartphones.

In the sentence (thirteenth paragraph) “Yet, while some
worry about how much time they spend on their handset, for
millions of others they are a godsend.”, the word “Yet” is
synonymous with However.

The worn wooden floorboards squeak under Rafael
Molina’s heavy steps as he paces the saloon. Outside, the sound
of galloping horses breaks the silence of the surrounding desert.
All around him, the Old West town’s empty shops and
abandoned houses look as if they have just been ransacked by
cowboy bandits.
“When I was a kid, I could only dream about all this,”
says the 68-year-old former actor and stuntman. “My aspiration
was to see a film set firsthand. Today I own one of the most
famous ones in the history of Western movies.”
But this busy movie site is located in Spain — not
Montana or Texas. It’s one of three faux Old Western towns in
the small village of Tabernas and the surrounding desert of the
Almería province. Since the late 1950s, these rugged mountains,
arid plains, and dry canyons have provided the backdrops for
more than 170 movie Westerns, including The Good, The Bad
and The Ugly (1966) and Once Upon a Time in The West
(1968).
Molina belongs to a small community of local cowboy
actors and stuntmen in Tabernas who have played a role in
movies and TV shows since the first productions in the 1950s.
They can perform anything from fistfights to horse drags.
Knowledge and skills often pass from father to son, keeping
tricks of the trade in the family. Steeped in the golden era of
Westerns, these actors embody the values of their movie heroes:
pride, bravado, freedom, and a trusting relationship with horses.
“I’ve always liked horses and the [U.S.] West,” says 29-
year-old Ricardo Cruz Fernández, a stuntman and cowboy who
appeared in recent productions including Game of Thrones.
Fernández started his career as a cowboy after completing a
stuntman course a decade ago.
Between productions, he performs daily shows at Fort
Bravo for thousands of tourists who visit the set each year. In one
show, Fernández portrays a bank robber who absconds with some
gold. Visitors encounter him in the saloon, fist and (fake) gun
fighting with actors playing his double-crossing accomplices.
The town also offers cancan dance shows and set tours by horsedrawn wagon.
“I prefer to play the bad guy, because it gives me a wider
range of possibilities,” says Fernández. “The good guy only has
to keep things in order.”
Almería has hosted more than 500 productions, including
blockbuster films (Patton, Terminator: Dark Fate) and TV
shows (Doctor Who). “Our landscapes are very convenient. We
have sea, desert, and snowy mountains all within a short
distance,” says local producer Plácido Martínez. “We can serve
as Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, and endless other
natural settings.”

Concerning the previous text and its linguistic aspects, judge the following item.
The fragment “Fernández started his career as a cowboy after
completing a stuntman course a decade ago” can be correctly
rewritten as A decade ago, Fernández started his career as
a cowboy and then he completed a stuntman course,
without changing the meaning of the text.

UNESCO World Heritage Sites
World Heritage Sites are locations deemed to be of
cultural or historical benefit for humanity by the
United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Organization (UNESCO). By including sites on its World Heritage
list, UNESCO hopes to ensure their continued preservation.
The criteria for inclusion in the list cover a range of
possible categories:
• Many World Heritage Sites are locations that have played
a major role in the world’s cultures or civilizations. Some
of them may in fact be the last remnants of a people who
have since disappeared.
• UNESCO also celebrates sites that represent key periods
in human history, such as innovations in town planning
or technological breakthroughs.
• Places may be included as examples of individual genius.
This may be a building of prime architectural importance
or a location connected with the creation of a major work
of art.
• Not all sites are man-made, however. They could be an
area of outstanding natural beauty, or geological
significance, for example, as the site of a fossil discovery.
• One further objective is to celebrate biodiversity. A site
may play a vital role in the development of an existing
ecosystem. Those which provide habitats for endangered
species are particularly strong candidates for inclusion in
the UNESCO list.

Early electronic computers such as Colossus made use of
punched tape, a long strip of paper on which data was
represented by a series of holes, a technology now obsolete.
Electronic data storage, which is used in modern computers,
dates from World War II, when a form of delay-line memory was
developed to remove the clutter from radar signals, the first
practical application of which was the mercury delay line. The
first random-access digital storage device was the Williams tube,
based on a standard cathode ray tube, but the information stored
in it was volatile in that it had to be continuously refreshed, and
thus was lost once power was removed. The earliest form of nonvolatile computer storage was the magnetic drum, invented in
1932 and used in the Ferranti Mark 1, the world’s first
commercially available general-purpose electronic computer.

Text 9A3-I
If you were to judge 2018’s most important legal technology by looking at conference agendas and media coverage, you’d probably say it was the continuing development of artificial intelligence. But if you judge the most important technology by its direct impact on the practice of law, then it would have to be analytics. As I suggested in a recent column, we could be nearing the point where it would be malpractice for a lawyer not to use analytics.

Phishing
Imagine that you get an email one morning. It appears
to be from your bank. The email warns that someone
broke into your account. It says that you need to sign
in to check some things. You click the link in the email.
It takes you to a site that looks very much like your
bank’s. You enter your username and password. You
submit the form. You’ve just been phished!
Phishing is a type of attack that happens over the
Internet. Users receive an email or text message that
seems like it came from a trusted source. These users
are being deceived. They are interacting with dangerous hackers. The attackers copy trusted companies.
They send users to web pages that look like the ones
we use everyday. When users login or provide sensitive information, the attackers steal this data.
Attackers want your data for many reasons. They may
use your data to commit identity fraud. This is when
they use your identity to buy something with your credit. Then they receive the goods and you receive the bill.
Or they may want your password to take over a computer network. They may want access to private emails.
They may want customer records. They gain access by
tricking people into giving them their login info.
Some phishing attacks are targeted. A targeted
phishing attack is called a spear phishing attack. These
attacks are dangerous because they are convincing.
The attacker may know the target’s name, address,
or job title. They may have gathered info from social
networks, like the names of friends or family. The
attackers may use this personal information to craft a
believable email. The target will be tricked into clicking a link. The link will send them to a phony website.
This site will look familiar, but it will be a spoofed site
built to steal data. Any data that the target submits
will go to the hacker.
Phishing attacks are dangerous, but you can spot them
if you pay attention. One thing to watch is your address
bar in your browser. Attackers use domains that look
like the ones that we trust, but they are not the same.
For example, in 2016 staffers from Hillary Clinton’s
campaign were spear phished. The attackers used the
domain accounts-google.com. That domain looks like
google.com, but it isn’t the same. When logging into
google, you should always do it from google.com. Likewise, when logging into any account, make sure the
address matches what you expect. If you are unsure,
search for the site and login from the root domain.
An even better way to secure your account against
phishing attacks is to use 2FA: two factor authentication. 2FA means that your account is secured with
two keys. The first is your password. The second key is
a random code that changes every few minutes. This
code may be generated by a 2FA app, like Authy. Or it
can be sent to your cell phone on request. If you activate 2FA on your accounts, an attacker will not be able
to get in even with your password.
Phishing attacks are scary and common. The reason
why they are common is that they are effective. Many
people accept appearances without suspicion. Browsing the Internet safely requires a healthy amount of
suspicion. Not everything is what it appears. Nobody
is trying to give you free money. Don’t trust; verify.
The words sensitive information in the second
paragraph, is closest in meaning to:

Mobile Devices and Apps for Health Care Professionals: Uses and Benefits
C. Lee Ventola
The use of mobile devices by health care professionals (HCPs) has transformed many aspects of clinical practice. Mobile
devices have become commonplace in health care settings, leading to rapid growth in the development of medical software
applications (apps) for these platforms. Numerous apps are now available to assist HCPs with many important tasks, such as:
information and time management; health record maintenance and access; communications and consulting; reference and information
gathering; patient management and monitoring; clinical decision-making; and medical education and training.
Mobile devices and apps provide many benefits for health care professionals (HCPs), perhaps most significantly increased
access to point-of-care tools, which has been shown to support better clinical decision-making and improved patient outcomes.
However, some HCPs remain reluctant to adopt their use. Despite the benefits they offer, better standards and validation practices
regarding mobile medical apps need to be established to ensure the proper use and integration of these increasingly sophisticated
tools into medical practice. These measures will raise the barrier for entry into the medical app market, increasing the quality and
safety of the apps currently available for use by HCPs.

Perspectives on modern data analytics
By Eric Knorr - Editor in Chief, CIO | APR 12,
2021 3:00 AM PDT
Some things don't change, even during a
pandemic. Consistent with previous years, in
CIO’s 2021 State of the CIO survey, a plurality of
the 1,062 IT leaders surveyed chose
“data/business analytics” as the No.1 tech
initiative expected to drive IT investment.
Unfortunately, analytics initiatives seldom do
nearly as well when it comes to stakeholder
satisfaction.
Last year, CIO contributor Mary K. Pratt offered
an excellent analysis of why data analytics
initiatives still fail, including poor-quality or siloed
data, vague rather than targeted business
objectives, and clunky one-size-fits-all feature
sets. But a number of fresh approaches and
technologies are making these pratfalls less
likely.
(...)
New technology invariably incurs new risks. No
advancement has had more momentous impact
on analytics than machine learning – from
automating data prep to detecting meaningful
patterns in data – but it also adds an unforeseen
hazard. As CSO Senior Writer Lucian Constantin
explains in "How data poisoning attacks corrupt
machine learning models," deliberately skewed
data injected by malicious hackers can tilt models toward some nefarious goal. The result could be,
say, manipulated product recommendations, or
even the ability for hackers to infer confidential
underlying data.
(...)
In the end, the secret to successful analytics is
not in choosing and implementing the perfect
technology, but in cultivating a broad
understanding that pervasive analytics yields
better decisions and superior outcomes. Usually,
you can iron out technology kinks or
requirements misunderstandings. But if you can't
change the mindset, few will use the beautiful
analytics machine you just built.

The adjective “pervasive” in pervasive
analytics could be replaced by the adjective
“extensive” without a change in meaning in
the aforementioned context.

The history of language study illustrates widely divergent
attitudes concerning the relationship between writing and speech.
Written language was the medium of literature, and, thus, a
source of standards of linguistic excellence. It was felt to provide
language with permanence and authority. The rules of grammar
were, accordingly, illustrated exclusively from written texts.
The everyday spoken language, by contrast, was ignored
or condemned as an object unworthy of study, demonstrating
only lack of care and organization. It was said to have no rules,
and speakers were left under the illusion that, in order to “speak
properly”, it was necessary to follow the “correct” norms, as laid
down in the recognized grammar books and manuals of written
style.
There was sporadic criticism of this viewpoint throughout
the 19th century, but it was not until the 20th century that an
alternative approach became widespread. This approach pointed
out that speech is many thousands of years older than writing;
that it develops naturally in children (whereas writing has to be
artificially taught); and that writing systems are derivative —
mostly based on sounds of speech.

Whatever training is given there should always be a
permanent concern about the naturalness and spontaneity of
everyday speech rather than an artificial sound production for the
sake of preserving a “correct” pronunciation.
This is, in fact, a crucial issue, since if too much care is
demanded from the student, this may turn out to be an
undesirable blockage to another more important factor, namely,
fluency. Perhaps, and even worse, if over-careful pronunciation
habits are developed, this will certainly cause difficulties for the
oral comprehension, as the students will expect to hear sounds,
words and utterances the way they personally produce them.

Teachers sometimes assume that more outgoing learners
will be able to learn pronunciation better than shyer students, and
there may be some truth to this. Confident students might speak
more and be more willing to try new sounds, and this extra
practice could help them improve their pronunciation. However,
this improvement is certainly not guaranteed. Some outgoing
students may be producing a lot of language, but they may also
be jumping ahead without paying attention to the accuracy of
their pronunciation. If listeners are impressed by their fluency
and accept their imperfect pronunciation, they have no way to
know that they need to improve.
Some more introverted students might actually be
thinking carefully about sounds and practicing “within
themselves,” even if they don’t speak much in class. Don’t
underestimate the quiet students. Appreciate the strengths and
possibilities of all your students and encourage everyone. All
students can learn and improve in their own way.
Another aspect of personality that can affect pronunciation
is the degree to which a person is willing or able to change the
way they sound. Most of us have been speaking and listening to
language in the same, familiar way since we learned to talk. Our
voice and our pronunciation are a central part of the way we see
ourselves. It can be uncomfortable, and possibly even
frightening, to try out unfamiliar sounds and melodies of
language. For some people this process seems like a small bump
on the road, but for others, it’s a serious roadblock.

The role of pronunciation in non-native language teaching
has been in a state of constant change. In the earlier approaches,
foreign language pronunciation was either the result of exposure
to the target language or of approaches which used complex sets
of drills and repetitions. As suggested, to a large extent, the
importance of pronunciation has always been determined by
ideology and intuition rather than by research. Teachers have
intuitively decided which features have the greatest effect on
clarity and which are learnable in a classroom setting. Saito
claims that while the morphological and syntactical levels of
languages are taught in contextualized meaningful exercises,
pronunciation practice is decontextualized due to the use of drills
and repetition.
Pronunciation is one of the aspects of language both
native and non-native teachers of English are not keen on
teaching, and a lack of adequate teacher training results in an
intuitive use of available materials and techniques. Setting
pedagogical goals must be based on knowledge of pronunciation
issues. Unqualified teachers may have misconceptions about
phonological phenomena, cannot evaluate or use teaching
materials accurately, and do not set realistic goals when teaching
pronunciation. Furthermore, even teaching materials do not
reflect the conclusions of current research, and they can be
perceived as boring; however, Baker argues that teachers who
complete a pronunciation course have, and apply, a wider range
of pronunciation activities in their classrooms.
