The charity is urging women to enter either the 5k or 10k event. Event manager Courtney Culverhouse said: “Signing up to take part in Race for Life is a great way for women to set themselves a new and exciting challenge for 2017. “Race for Life events are non-competitive and participants can choose to walk, jog or run around the course. Whether they plan to amble with friends or sprint to the finish line, every step they take will help to bring forward the day when all cancers are cured. “Every day 90 people are diagnosed with cancer in the East of England. That’s why we’re calling on women in Epping to make 2017 a year to remember. Together, we can stop this devastating disease in its tracks. "Pledging to take part is a great motivation for women to pull on their leggings, limber up and show cancer they mean business. Our aim is that one day everyone will beat this devastating disease and the more research we fund, the sooner that day will come. “By taking part in Race for Life, mums, daughters, sisters and friends can make a real difference in the fight against cancer. We urge women to sign up right now and show their support.” To enter Race for Life visit www.raceforlife.org or ring 0300 123 0770. CHIGWELL: School launches 'First Give' 9.45am - 31st January 2017 A REPRESENTATIVE from First Give visited West Hatch High School to give an assembly to Year 8 students. First Give is a charity that works in partnership with secondary schools to help young people to give their time, tenacity and talents to improve their local communities. Students in Year 8 have already started discussing First Give and thinking about their projects, as part of their Religious Studies lessons. Students start by learning more about social issues within their local community before researching a local charity to represent. They then connect with that charity and find out more about what it does and who it helps. Students then create a presentation based around their chosen charity and teams take part in a class competition and then school competition to find a team to represent West Hatch at the grand final. The programme encourages students to engage with a local charity and take part in social action whilst developing key employability skills which will benefit them in the future. Head of House Guy Blain said: "There was a fantastic start to our First Give presentation programme. The assembly was chance for all the students to hear about the different creative ways they can deliver a high quality presentation and show a good awareness of social issues." WALTHAM ABBEY: Police target drivers 9.42am - 31st January 2017 ONE person was arrested for drugs possession and three vehicles seized during a roads policing operation in Waltham Abbey on Saturday. The operation on Sewardstone Road was led by Essex Police’s Road Policing Special Constables involving the use of automatic number plate recognition technology. Officers stopped 35 vehicles where someone was not wearing a seatbelt and 16 cars where a driver was using a mobile phone. Two vehicle defect forms were issued, one eye sight test was carried out and eight drivers were stopped for having tinted windows contrary to regulations. Essex Police casualty reduction manager Adam Pipe said: "This was an excellent operation run by our Road Policing Specials, and listened to the concerns highlighted by residents of Sewardstone Road relating to road safety. "I hope it serves as a warning that Essex Police takes driving offences of all levels seriously. "It’s extremely concerning that these operations are needed at all and we urge people in the strongest terms not to act irresponsibly - and illegally - while on our roads.” ONGAR: Council sets up Local Plan working party 1.04pm - 30th January 2017 ONGAR Town Council has set up a working party to consider the impact the potential housing numbers proposed in the Epping Forest District Council Draft Local Plan could have on the town. Some 600 homes are earmarked for Ongar in the draft document which was put out for consultation by Epping Forest District Council at the end of last year. The working party, chaired by Greensted councillor Mary Dadd, will consider various issues including housing, employment, amenities, traffic flow, education, health and social services provision, infrastructure and tourism. Local residents can express their views by emailing [email protected] or writing to the Working Party, c/o Town Clerk, 'Bansons', Bansons Way, Ongar, CM5 9AS. 01/03/2017 Everything Epping Forest LOUGHTON: Council sets up 'war chest' 8.25am - 30th January 2017 LOUGHTON Town Council has increased its 2017-18 precept by 4.98% so it has a 'war chest' for any required legal fight over the Local Plan. The increase, the first for eight years, will cost the average household in Loughton £51.63 a year - £2.45 more than for the past seven years. The council's precept for 2017-18 has been set at £634,800. Town clerk Enid Walsh said: "The increase of less than 5p a week will provide essential funds for what members described as a 'war chest'. "They will enable the council to seek legal counsel in an attempt to counter the proposals in the draft Local Plan to build on Loughton’s much valued green spaces. "The council is confident that this approach will be fully supported by local residents following the unprecedented strength of feeling expressed at public meetings in autumn 2016." LOUGHTON: Boy injured in hit-and-run collision 9.50am - 29th January 2017 A TEENAGED boy has suffered leg injuries in a hit-and-run collision in Rectory Lane, Loughton. Police are appealing for witnesses after the boy told officers he was hit by a vehicle, described as a grey or silver VW Golf or Polo at about 7.40pm last night. He was taken to hospital for treatment. A police spokesman said the car failed to stop at the scene, crossed the traffic lights and headed up the road towards the High Road. Any witnesses or anyone with information about the incident should ring Essex Police on 101. MORETON: Caravan destroyed in blaze 9.41am - 28th January 2017 AN electrical fault is being blamed for a blaze which destroyed a caravan in Harlow Road, Moreton. Three fire crews - from Harlow, Old Harlow and Ongar - were called out at 6.15pm last night. Firefighters took and hour-and-a-half to deal with fire and returned later in the evening to check for hot spots. An Essex Fire and Rescue Service spokesman said: "The cause of the fire has been recorded as accidental and is thought to have started by an electrical fault. The caravan has been completely destroyed." ONGAR: Funding transfer plan dropped 9.42am - 27th January 2017 A PROPOSAL to possibly transfer money allocated to Ongar Town Council's Shelley play area to Jubilee Park has been dropped after it was branded a "complete misuse" of funds. Ongar Town Council's Jubilee Park Steering Committee suggested that £25,000 of the ring-fenced money could, with district council approval, be used as start-up capital for the sporting trust which is set to take over the management of the Love Lane facilities. A total of £150,000 was provided by developer Taylor Woodrow as part of its planning consent for The Gables development in Fyfield Road, Shelley. The funding transfer suggestion was opposed by Shelley Residents Association. Association chairman Clive Sharp told last night's council meeting that the association - now that it knew that funds were available - had ideas on how the money could be spent on the St Peters Avenue play area, and had letters from Ongar Primary School children giving their ideas. Nicola Yates, of Shelley Residents Association, told the meeting: "If there is any way that money is directed elsewhere it should be directed to our school. They have a rather sad play area. I don't think that money should go anywhere near Jubilee Park. Why should Shelley money support that project? I think it's a complete misuse of that fund." Council vice-chairman John Reynolds said: "It (the £25,000) may not be needed but it is to have the knowledge that it would be available if needed." He added: "Jubilee Park employs quite a few people who live at Shelley and a great number of the sports facilities and social facilities are used by Shelley residents, and a lot of the private bookings are made by Shelley residents. It is well used by Shelley residents." Shelley district councillor Nigel Bedford said he had contacted district council chief executive Glen Chipp and council monitoring officer Colleen O'Boyle adding that Mrs O'Boyle was "concerned".

  • Phishing-Awareness Specialists: Stewarding Trust in a Digital World
    Phishing-Awareness Specialists: Stewarding Trust in a Digital World Written by Joshua Bucheli, AI Ethics Researcher and Fellow at the ForHumanity Center, in Collaboration with IT Security Manager Kai Dorner and Peter Kosel, Founder of cyberunity Illustration from Insta: the_doodling_crow Over the past couple of years, YouTubers like kitboga and Jim Browning have pioneered an online fascination with exposing call-center scams, a pastime that has become known as ‘scambaiting’. Posing as vulnerable IT users, these cyber-vigilantes lure in bad-actors who masquerade as IT support, turning the tables on their phishing scams, exposing them and garnering millions of views in the process. While comical, what these viral videos highlight is no laughing matter – they show just how easy it is to fall prey to phishing scams, and they demonstrate the crucial need for increased awareness of how to identify trustworthy parties. Trust is the keystone upon which all of our social, and indeed digital, interactions are based. We trust E-banking with our finances, apps with our passwords, systems with our infrastructures, and clouds with our data. ‘Phishing’ attacks are a form of social engineering that preys on this trust, therefore posing one of the greatest threats to data security. Where Does Phishing Stand Today? Unlike cyberattacks that take a brute force approach to cracking encryptions, phishing is a more subtle affair operating on much the same principles as literal angling: you throw out some bait and wait to see who bites. The object is to ‘phish’ for user data or for access to systems by mimicking a legitimate site.
