These cookies are world famous in my family's circle. My mom's good friend, who grew up in Kansas, keeps this recipe close to her heart - but was nice enough to share! There are some simple tricks that make these cookies extra tasty! Enjoy.
3/4 cups of cold butter (she strongly recommends margarine)
1 3/4 cups flour (NOT generic grocery store brand. She swears this is important!)
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tspn vanilla
1 tspn baking powder
1/4 tspn baking soda
2 cups oats
2 cups Scotchies (I used chocolate chips this time. Either works!)
1. Cream butter in an electric mixer on medium speed.
2. Add half of the flour, all of the sugars, the egg, baking soda, baking powder and vanilla.
3. Once those ingredients are combined, add the remaining flour.
4. Once the flour is thoroughly mixed in, add the oats and the chips.
5. Using an ice cream scoop, form perfect cookie dough balls. Roll the cookie dough balls in a bowl of sugar so they are totally covered.
6. Freeze the cookie dough balls completely. This helps them keep a better shape when you bake them later!
7. Preheat oven to 375˚. Bake the cookies for about 9 minutes, or until they are golden colored. Warning: the cookies will appear way too soft and you will be tempted to put them right back in the oven. REFRAIN! The cookies get hard after sitting out for about a minute because they continue to cook. So the softer you like your cookies, the less time you should leave them in the oven!

Crime is in the air: air pollution and regulation in the UK
This briefing focuses on the human costs of air pollution and failed attempts to adequately regulate and control such harm. In his report, Professor Reece Walters highlights the fact that an estimated 24,000 British residents die prematurely every year and thousands more are hospitalised, because of air pollution. Furthermore, the European Union is currently preparing a legal case against the British government for repeatedly breaching pollution levels.


text: HomeOutfits By TypeCasual9 Outfit Ideas to Wear While Cooking at Home Who says you can't wear something fashionable in the kitchen? Dressing up for cooking gives you that extra boost of confidence you need to prepare the perfect food. You like wearing stilettos while cooking? Go ahead. Wear whatever makes you feel comfortable and powerful in the kitchen. If you're not a fan of the plain old chef's jacket and pants, you could always wear whatever you reckon is appropriate in the kitchen. These aren't dresses. These are actually aprons. There are a ton of cute aprons you can find just about anywhere. Not an apron enthusiast? Here are a few outfit ideas to wear while you're cooking. Light blue long-sleeved shirt goes really well with white pants. Pair them with your favorite boater shoes or loafers. Cooking show hosts mostly wear long-sleeved shirts. You can never go wrong with a gray t-shirt, jumper and some Converse. It's light and very comfortable. Jeans, black tank top and brown knee-high boots outfit is very casual yet stylish. If you're wearing a cardigan, be sure not to make it past your wrist. Chances you might burn it or yourself when near the stove. If you feel like your outfit looks boring, add an item with patterns on it. Be careful on light-colored clothing for you might acquire weird blotches. This outfit is great, if you're cooking for your family on Sundays. Uggs are very comfortable. Wear this all black ensemble if you're the type to catch stains while cooking. Hosting brunch with your girlfriends? Wear a sheer blue sleeveless blouse, turquoise denim skirt and strapped espadrilles. Cooking for the weekend roast? Wear a plaid dress for a western vibe and add a brown belt to give shape to your body. Pair it with brown wedges.

Having learnt, honed and mastered our skills by designing and building machines for our parent company, Gripple Automation have now extended that exclusive knowledge of both being an award winning manufacturer and automation service, to a wide range of industries.
With manufacturing being in our DNA, we have an inherent understanding of manufacturers needs, and design and build these into our bespoke machines.
Working with Tier 2 automotive, Gripple Automation have been complimented on their quality and communication.
Designing and building bespoke machines that deliver on quality and capacity.
Here two rotary tables feed each other. With four bowl feeders, 12 stations and 4 quality checks - both vision and mechanical, this machine assembles, taps and quality checks at a rate of 25 parts per minute. It runs at 92% OEE with <1% reject rate.
Hand Jigs
For smaller projects or development work, hand jigs may be the preference as step one.
Again, our manufacturing background stands us in good stead for sequencing and ergonomics.
Gripple Automation designed and installed a bottling line capable of accommodating three bottle sizes, capping and increasing capacity by 5 fold.
Mechanical Design, Electrical Design & Programming – all done in-house.
Various density foams, 16 different parts and applying flexible tape,we like a challenge!
Here we used vacuum handling , interchangeable nests and backlit vision to increase capacity.
Assembly of injection moulded parts and rubber seals, traditionally assembled by hand, could not keep-up with market demands.
Assembly cycle time to match moulding cycle time was the challenge.
A new product range demanded castings to be tapped and broached. Gripple Automation designed a rotary table machine with bowl feeders to accommodate various sizes with quick-change-over parts and in cycle quality checks.

Just a quick reminder that homework is given on the friday of each week and must be returned not later than the following Thursday. Spellings are also given on each Friday, with a spelling test a week later. Could you also practice the relevant timetables - your child/children will know which tables and division they must practise. reading homework is also important and your child should read to an adult or sibling each day. Please ask your child/children questions about what they have read as this will support your child's comprehension skills.
PE kit
It would be much appreciated if your child's PE kit could be brought to school on each Monday and taken home each Friday and should include a t-shirt, shorts, a tracksuit, trainers (or plimsolls with a good grip) and socks. Earrings will need to be removed for PE unless they have only recently been pierced and therefore they will need tape to cover their earrings. Hair that is beyond the shoulders will need to be tied back. Receiving PE is a legal requirement for your child. Sycamore class will participate in PE for the Spring term on a Monday and a Wednesday.

Colleen Saidman Yee: Why yoga is great for losing weight
But don't think Saidman Yee is going to tell you how to lose three pounds in five days or banish bra fat—her approach to using yoga for weight management is one hundred percent holistic.
"I didn't want it to just be an aerobic workout to burn calories," she says. Instead, Saidman Yee focuses on the often-ignored elements of weight loss that lead to lasting change, like mindfulness and getting a good night's sleep.
Here, she shares three reasons that yoga is effective when it comes to reaching your optimal weight. —Lisa Elaine Held
All Photos: Lisa Elaine Held for Well+Good
1. Yoga teaches you mindfulness—about your body. Practicing yoga gives you an intimate connection with your body that can be truly beneficial when trying to lose weight. "When you get in touch with your body, you really tune in to what it wants and needs," Saidman Yee says. "Very rarely does somebody leave a yoga class and say 'Oh my god, I'm craving a hamburger, french fries, and a milkshake. They go straight to a juice place to grab a green juice." Mindfulness also applies to how, and not just what, you eat. "You'll start to smell foods and feel the texture, and pay attention to chewing and swallowing," Saidman Yee says. That attention can help prevent mindless overeating.
2. Yoga helps you get a good night's sleep. Saidman Yee devoted one of the three sequences on her DVD to relaxation, using hip openers, forward bends, and twists, because sleep, she says, is essential to the weight loss process. "It's all poses that promote exhalation and ring out the body from the day's stress. So that when you lay down in bed, you're ready to go to sleep." Research, in fact, has shown that sleep deprivation can affect the hormones that regulate hunger, ghrelin and leptin, so that the less you sleep, the more you eat.
3. Yoga builds strength and gets your heart rate up. Of course, while physical exertion isn't everything, it obviously matters. Saidman Yee's approach to yoga-that-sheds-pounds is all about getting your heart rate up while also building strength. "When you build muscle, you'll burn more calories," she says. So Saidman Yee leads you through strengthening standing poses while adding on aerobic elements, like repeated arm movements, and she also focuses a sequence on strengthening all of the muscles in your mid-section, including abs, obliques, lats, and lower back.

As the power of Spring surges through nature, we too feel it's force. Just as nature goes through a cycle of rebirth, renewal and awakening, we rise up from our restful winter habits and tendencies with a renewed sense of energy. This is the time to plant seeds, make plans for the future and ground our visions into reality. For our dreams to blossom, we must be both stable and flexible, like a tree which has roots firmly in Mother Earth yet flexible enough to dance with the flow of the wind.
An opening meditation will lead us into a place of stillness and calm. We will be guided to each plant a seed, setting an intention of something which we would like to bear the fruit of later in the year.
Carolyn will lead a yin yoga practice to enhance the flow of chi (energy) through the liver and gallbladder meridians - in Chinese medicine this meridian is associated with the season Spring and the element Wood. Healthy liver and gallbladder chi is related to a capacity to make plans and put them into action. In yin we are supported by props or the ground, so that we can release into long holds of up to 5 minutes. During that time Carolyn will share inspiring poem and insights about the benefits of the pose and it's energetic and physiological importance.
Throughout the evening Josie will share the healing sounds of her alchemy crystal singing bowls with the intention to take you into a place of deep surrender.
After the opening yet grounding yin practice, you will be led into relaxation where you can simply lie back to receive the healing sounds, allowing the vibrations to take you on a journey within and beyond. The bowls are made from 99.992% pure crystal quartz and are infused with various precious gemstones and minerals including Platinum which stimulates the Divine Feminine, aligning the intuitive emotional body and Amethyst which supports the expansion of the crown chakra, creating a temple of grace in any setting.
The beautiful frequencies will wash through your entire being as they work through your chakras, organs, energy and cells to shake out any old stagnant emotions and energies which no longer serve you and in turn fill you with pure LIGHT. You can experience a deeper state of consciousness as the sounds enable you to transcend the mind to connect to your own heart wisdom within. A truly nurturing experience which stimulates peace on all levels - physical, emotional, spiritual, mental. It is to be experienced to be truly understood.
CAROLYN is a yoga teacher and ayurvedic yoga massage therapist, based in Tring. She teaches at Tring Yoga Studio and Mind & Body Berkhamsted. Her teaching encourages you to explore how the asana (posture) feels to you, from the inside. This way you have a personal experience of the yoga practice. After all, yoga means union with our true self. Deep healing comes when we tune into our physical body and understand what it needs.
JOSIE is an intuitive energy healer working with sound through the healing frequencies of alchemy crystal singing bowls, tuning forks, chimes, drums and voice. Known for her compassionate nature and natural affinity with energy, she guides individuals to release from emotional, physical, spiritual and mental blockages through energy work and sound. She is passionate about spreading awareness of the power of energy healing and sound therapy as she knows first hand how transformational these divine tools can be to create positive shifts in our health, wellbeing and life. Her practice Eleven Healing is based in East London and she shares sound healing and meditation at Re:Mind Studio in Victoria.
£25 // Please contact Josie via firstname.lastname@example.com to book your ticket
Just your lovely self as we will provide yoga mats, blankets, bolsters and blocks. Please ensure you bring something warm to put on for the sound healing journey though as its best to be cosy so you can deeply relax.
"Absolute peace & positivity. Loved it & so looking forward to the next one. Namaste. Thank you" Zeno, Feb 2018
"It was seriously beautiful - the meditation, the poem, the yoga, the crystal bowls, the healing, the queen of all shavasnas…I left feeling inspired, relaxed, utterly grounded and connected. Thank you Carolyn and Josie." L, Feb 2018

Last year we had the opportunity to create four :15 second spots for Texas based James Avery Artisan Jewelry, celebrating mothers day. We produced the spots using stop motion animation which featured their Necklaces, Bracelets and most importantly their Charms. This year they came back to us at ATKPLN to do four more mother's day spots! So I am are excited to share this news now. Here are a couple of the spots along with a Behind the scenes look at how we did them. These are so much fun to put together and do, stop motion is a favorite medium I like to work in. It works really well for these spots, as it is hand crafted and singular, it speaks to the artisanal quality of their jewelry, which is hand crafted by their artists.
Enjoy !
Here is the behind the scenes for this years ( 2019 ) shoot of the James Avery Mothers Day Charm event.

Questions by Cody
"Micajah" Bye, Managing Editor
To look behind the scenes is very person's dream. You hear about
"backstage passes" and "behind the scenes" documentaries, and people
are always willing to pay hundreds of dollars more for these perks. The
editorial staff at Ten Ton Hammer feels exactly the same way, so we
devised a set of developer questionnaires that we've been methodically
sending out to the various MMO teams to see how their past has
influenced their present experiences. In this week's developer profile,
we sat down with Lineage 2's producer, Tim Tan, to
see what made him into the leading MMO developer that he is today!
style="font-weight: bold;">
Ten Ton Hammer: As the producer of
Lineage 2, what sort of responsibilities do you have with
the crew? Do
you basically manage time spent on projects, or do you pick up odd jobs
every now and again?
href="http://www.tentonhammer.com/node/14898" title="Look Out!">
style="font-style: italic;">While working on
Lineage 2, Tim takes on a little bit of everything.
Honestly, it's a little bit of everything. We're a
pretty well-oiled
machine here at NCsoft; we have lots of departments and a lot of
different groups who are in charge of different things. If I
don't have
anything to do personally, that typically means that all of our
departments are getting their work done and driving the style="font-style: italic;">Lineage 2
product forward.
Every once in awhile I do pick up odd jobs,
but a lot of it is communicating, interacting, scheduling, setting
dates and times, and just making sure everybody is on task and getting
things done.
Ten Ton Hammer: Is there a particular genre of game that you play
regularly? Do you mainly stick with massively multiplayer games, or do
you spread your interests around to other products?
Tim Tan:
That's a really cool question. I personally like all kinds of
games. There are way too many games to say that I've tried
everything out there, but I think I can say that I've tried
every genre of gaming, from collectible card games to tabletops to pen
and paper to console to MMOGs.
That said, I do play a lot of MMOs. It's almost like a job
requirement. I do try to stay up to date with consoles, and I play a
lot of collectible games as well. I really try to play all the games
that are necessary to stay up to date with the industry, but I play a
lot of games for fun as well.
Ten Ton Hammer: Do you
have any all-time favorites?
All-time favorites, let's see….. *thinks*
Ten Ton Hammer: This is
the one that always stumps people because most of us have five or six
games that we just love and adore.
Tim: One of
my favorite games ever was the original Bard's Tale. That was
a long time ago. I remember playing it on an old 286 computer where the
monitor only had two colors. But it had the basic elements of an RPG
and you had several ways of dispatching monsters. So it'd
definitely have to be right up there in the roleplaying game category.
The first game that I felt took time away from my life because I
wouldn't realize what time it was would be style="font-style: italic;">Civilization. The
original Civ was definitely a classic game and it deserves to be in my
"favorites" list.
Ten Ton Hammer: What game
are you playing right now and what were your reasons for exploring that
I'm definitely playing – and I think everyone is
playing it – is Team
Fortress 2. I really felt the urge to play this game
simply because there's a ton of people playing this game. My
curiosity drove me to check out the game.
Ten Ton Hammer: Do you
have any hobbies outside of gaming?
Tim: I
don't have as much time to participate in them as I did in
the past, but I still really enjoy sports. I played basketball for
awhile, and for a long, long time I was a martial artist. I even taught
for awhile.
Ten Ton Hammer: How did
you get started in the video game industry? What sort of life events
led you to video game development?
Basically, I've always loved games and I got an opportunity
through a friend to come out to Austin and start off in a quality
assurance department. I had friend working in the industry and working
at NCsoft, so out of the blue I decided to change things up.
title="Female Final Form"> src="/image/view/14899/preview"
style="font-style: italic;">Tim's passion for
gaming helped bring him into the video game industry.
So I got my start in QA, which is a really great place to start if you
enjoy the game industry and want to get an idea of how things work.
Once you're in, you can start working your way up.
In previous jobs, I was always trying to go down that project
management path, and the producer position is very similar to the
project manager sort of career you can find in other jobs.
You're really in-charge of and doing a little bit of
It was kind of a fluke, but it really stemmed from a passion for games.
Ten Ton Hammer: What kind
of schooling did you receive? Was your educational focus directed
towards game development at all?
Tim: My
background is actually in electrical engineering with a minor in
computer science. That sort of schooling helps, but when I got my
degree I had no idea that I was going to be doing gaming in the future.
However, the degree did give me the sort of problem solving skills
necessary to figure out ways to get around common problems. It
especially helped in the quality assurance field because
you're looking for defects and issues. You really have to
know how to reproduce the steps to get to the problem and possibly fix
Ten Ton Hammer: How has
your gaming history influenced your work on style="font-style: italic;"> Lineage 2?
Tim: I
don't have any specific examples of things I've
directly applied from previous games, but I know that my experience has
influenced some of the decisions I've made and the overall
flow through various steps in each project. style="font-weight: bold;">
Ten Ton Hammer: Why
should the massively multiplayer gamer play style="font-style: italic;">Lineage 2? How
would you recommend the title to them?
It'd be nice to know a little bit about the person. *laughs*
But in general I'd tell them about the player versus player
combat. We are a very open-ended game; if you want to go out there and
hunt, you can. Some people like to group while others like to play
solo, but either way other games out there have limitations. For
example, you might be playing for a certain faction or race. In style="font-style: italic;">Lineage 2, you
don't have that sort of hindrance and if you enjoy that sort
of freedom L2 is for you. We give you a way to deal with griefers.
Other aspects include the tight knit clan system that we've
developed in the game. If you want any sort of continuity in your game,
our clan system really out does most other games. If you want the large
scale combat, you definitely need to look at style="font-style: italic;">Lineage 2. Whether
it's castle sieges or basic PvP, no game does it better.
I'd then talk to the person about staying power, because in style="font-style: italic;"> Lineage 2
there's always something to do. The content will never end.
There's always more to level, more to get, more items, more
skill, more people to kill, more quests to do. You'll never
run out of things to do.
Finally, the political system is just fantastic. The intrigue involved
with that is actually a part of the game. We take the normal clan drama
and integrate it into L2. You need to pick your friends wisely and
choose your battles carefully. If you decide to fight someone, make
sure you can deal with the consequences of that decision.

style="font-style: italic;">The best part of
the industry, for Tim, is interacting with the players and changing the
game to suit their needs.
Ten Ton Hammer: As my
final question, what do you think is the best part of being in the MMOG
industry and what kind of advice would you give to someone who wants to
break into the field?
Tim: The
best part of the industry is definitely the community. It's
all about interacting with players, getting their feedback, and seeing
what you can do to improve their opinion of your game. Everyone has an
opinion on what makes a great game, but actually being in a position
where you can take that feedback and apply it is fascinating. Trying to
make the right decisions to help the overall group rather than the most
vocal players is always a fun challenge.
To address the second part of the question: If you're really
interested in gaming, keep that passion and don't be afraid
to start from the bottom. Quality assurance and customer support are
integral parts of our game, but it's also a way to get some
great insight into the industry and determine how things work. You get
to know how the game works, how the processes work, and how to interact
with the player base. From there you can grow and move up.
Ten Ton Hammer: Is there
anything you'd like to tell the players before we sign off?
Tim: Nothing
major, I just really appreciate all the players in style="font-style: italic;">Lineage 2 and hope
everyone is still having a good time. We're working hard to
make sure that the world continues to be a great place for everybody.
To the players who haven't played style="font-style: italic;">Lineage 2 or
haven't played in a long time, I hope you take a chance and
look at the game.

Surtex Mailers
In my Surtex recap I mentioned that I sent out some mailers to some folks I am interested in working with, inviting them to join me at my booth to say hello. I wanted to make them somewhat personal and stand out in the mail, share a bit about me and my work, and be SUPER CLEAR where I could be found both at the show and online.
I used colorful envelopes with hand-written addresses to mail a tri-fold enclosure with my business card, a mini portfolio, and an "invitation" to come visit me at Surtex. (In a sort of efficiency, I also created these to give away at my booth and the card portion thanked the person for visiting.)
This was one part of my pre-show marketing plans and I plan to follow up with all of the people I sent mailers to as well as everyone who came to my booth. The show doesn't really end once it's broken down - I'm finding the real work started after getting home.

As a frequent visitor of the Joyce Center and Purcell Pavilion, I have always noticed the banner that lists ND's tournament appearances. I always thought this was a banner more suitable for mid-majors, as confirmed by my visit to Valpo on Monday night. There are more important banners such as the 1978 Final Four and the 2001 Big East West Division Championship (that's a stretch), and of course, more impressive banners on the other end of the rafters thanks to Muffet. The Irish get a chance to add a significant banner (and hopefully a few more) tonight as they try to add another notch to their Tobacco Road belt. Hey Roy, UNC has 18 of these, how about you let us have just one?
Spread: UNC -2.5
How the Irish got here: Two tremendous first halves against Miami and Duke, and then two second halves of hanging on for dear life. The Irish have really stepped it up defensively, giving up 63 and 64 in the two games in Greensboro. Though Okafor had 28 last night, Auguste has been especially noticeable in his defensive effort (3 steals vs. Miami and 2 blocks last night). They are getting production from everyone, including momentum-killing threes by Vasturia, timely buckets from Beachem in his limited minutes, and of course the epic first half performance from The Bonz last night. Grant has 13 points in each game and Connaughton has 9 points in the last three halves, which actually is a great sign for the Irish moving forward. They need all of their pieces playing well if they are going to do any damage next week and beyond.
First matchup: January 5 @ UNC – Irish 71-70 Pretty familiar story here as the Irish jumped out to a double-digit lead, and then took Carolina's best punches down the stretch to hang onto the victory. Interestingly, Bonz did not play as he was still trying to break into the rotation. UNC outrebounded the Irish 43-26, and had 21 offensive rebounds, which will probably be the most important factor tonight. UNC shot 37% from the floor, while the Irish hit 10 of 23 3-pointers (43.5%).
Keys to an Irish victory: Three things need to continue: 1) 40 minutes of defensive intensity; 2) aggressive play of Demetrius Jackson; and 3) don't get killed on the boards.
First, Irish opponents are 8-37 (21.6%) from three in the ACC tourney. Brey's game plan last night obviously was to let Okafor get his and not let the Duke shooters kill them, and it worked. Carolina has two main shooters (Paige and Jackson), and I would expect the Irish's best two defenders (Demetrius and Vasturia) to follow them around. The interior defense has been the issue all year, but Auguste has really stepped up the last two nights. He and Bonz definitely have their hands full tonight.
Second, Demetrius Jackson needs to play like he wants the ACC Tournament MVP. He is averaging 13.5 pts, 4 rebs and 4 assists the last two nights, with the key being his aggression getting to the rim. In addition to staying selectively aggressive tonight, his role guarding Paige is critical.
Finally and most importantly, ND can't get outrebounded by 17 like they did in January. It is almost certain that UNC will outrebound the Irish, but by how much? The Irish lost the rebound battle in both games this tournament (Miami by 2, Duke by 7), but did probably as well as they could on the glass. If the Heels start playing volleyball around the rim, it could be a long night.
Irish seed implications: Possible 2 with a win (depending on Iowa State/Maryland results), but probably locked as a 3 even with a loss.
Heels seed implications: UNC likely a 3 with a win, and a 4 with a loss.
Prediction: Irish 75-71. I only mentioned Grant and Connaughton once in this entire post, largely in part due to the excellent performances of the supporting cast, but also due to a couple ordinary performances by the seniors. I really think these two guys want this badly and will carry the Irish to their first conference championship since joining the Big East in 1995-96.

Research just published claims to show that IT security professionals are relying on their conventional anti-virus (AV) and anti-malware technologies to act as a `last line of defence' against APTs (Advanced Persistent Threats).
APTs are those cyber-criminal security attacks that involve multiple vectors of subversion and infection, with a general principle that the hacker will employee every "every trick in the book" to compromise a target system, and that money and time are essentially no object.
The US Air Force coined the term back in 2006 when it started analysing the complex attacks staged against its military computer systems.
After polling more than 1,200 security professionals, not-for-profit IT security association ISACA has produced its second annual APT awareness study, which shows 96 percent of respondents rely on AV and anti-malware to defend their systems against APTs.
Interestingly, just 60 percent of respondents said they employed remote access technologies as a defence strategy against APT attacks, with just 40 percent relying on mobile security gateways, and only 30 percent using sandboxing techniques.
What is interesting about this approach is that it is the almost exact opposite of the strategies used around four-and-a-half years ago when Stonesoft released its ground-breaking research on AETs (Advanced Evasive Threats), and distinguished them from APTs.
The good news is that this second annual APT report from ISACA suggests that more people are aware of APT threats and are taking steps to improve their security posture as a result. The slightly bad news, however, is that 20 percent of enterprises have experienced an APT attack, but only 15 percent claim to be "very prepared" for an attack.
According to Steve Armstrong, technical security director with pen testing specialist Logically Secure, ISACA has effectively released a security report based upon a survey of security people.
"This is like asking a bunch of turkeys if they thought Christmas was a major risk to their long term survival. The answer will be yes, and the advice would obviously be that they need to learn how to prevent the Christmas Persistent Threat (CPT) happening to them," he said,
Armstrong went on to say that the ISACA report - like the mythical Christmas turkey analysis - would not pass the BBC's `More or Less' analysis, as the survey group is self fulfilling, and the report is more about marketing than news.
Scepticism about the analysis was shared by Professor John Walker, a director of CSIRT & cyber forensics with Integral Xssurance, who said that it is frustrating that APTs are not better understood by the IT security professional community, even though research on the threat has been around for four years.
"We still appear to be at the definition stage with AETs and APTs - and this report does little to help people better understand the complex threat that APTs truly are," he said, adding that the irony is that, after McAfee criticised Stonesoft for its original analysis on AETs and APTs, the security vendor bought out Stonesoft £243m in May last year.
Over at Encode UK, Graham Mann, the vendor's managing director, also pointed out the information gulf on the subject of APTs.
"There still seems to exist a wide disparity between the realities of APT and the general understanding of the issue. This disparity is illustrated none more so than in how some organisations perceive themselves defending off an APT attack using firewalls and anti-virus," he said.
"Such tactics are akin to shooting at a nuclear warhead with a bow and arrow," he added.
Mann went on to say that the overriding issue, however, is not so much the defence but rather the identification of an APT attack.
"The fact that none of the organisations for which we have undertaken actual - but simulated - APT attacks have detected such an attack bears this out. If you can't detect an attack then you certainly can't defend against it, it's that simple," he explained.
Mark Sparshott, director of EMEA with Proofpoint, was more upbeat, but suggested that the fact that 50 percent of security professionals who responded to the survey do not see APTs as highly differentiated from traditional attacks means that they should really consider a career change.
"Encouragingly 92 percent of respondents recognised Social Networking makes APT attacks easier with personal information harvested from these sites used to craft compelling and believable targeted emails," he added.

Because ethanol has different combustion characteristics than gasoline, some people suggest it will cause harm to two-stroke engines found in all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), lawn and garden equipment, and marine engines. Two-stroke engines require an oil and gas mixture for a fuel source, and the oil and gas are mixed in a ratio specified by the engine manufacturer. Fortunately, the concern with ethanol blended fuels is primarily associated with older engines. The majority of engine manufacturers have now designed their engines to run on E-10 blends (10% ethanol, 90% gasoline), but some precautions still remain. This bulletin will discuss the reasoning behind these precautions and why owners of some equipment powered by two-stroke engines may have concerns.
