KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 26 -- The 39th annual peace proposal by Daisaku Ikeda, president of the Soka Gakkai International (SGI) Buddhist association, titled ‘Value Creation in a Time of Crisis’ has been released, marking the SGI founding anniversary.
He calls for further global cooperation to address key issues including the COVID-19 pandemic, climate crisis, and the need to rid the world of nuclear weapons. “Our shared efforts to respond to the pandemic can serve as a foundation for generating global awareness of the essential role of human solidarity in transforming crises,” he said in a statement. Regarding the pandemic, Ikeda welcomes the COVAX facility that aims to ensure the global procurement and availability of COVID-19 vaccines. He proposes holding a high-level meeting at the UN to address COVID-19 and the convening of an online ‘beyond COVID-19’ youth summit to discuss the kind of world young people want to see in the aftermath of this crisis. Consistent with his decades of action toward the abolition of nuclear weapons, Ikeda welcomes the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW), which entered into force on Jan 22, as a ‘pivotal event ushering in a new era’ that will spur a paradigm shift in approaches to security. He proposes that a forum for discussing the relationship between nuclear weapons and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) be held during the first meeting of States Parties to the TPNW. At the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference scheduled for August 2021, Ikeda also urges discussion on the true meaning of security in the light of crises such as climate emergency and the pandemic. He calls for the final document of the Review Conference to include a pledge of non-use of nuclear weapons and the freezing of all nuclear weapon development until 2025. The Soka Gakkai is a global community-based Buddhist organisation promoting peace, culture and education based on respect for the dignity of life. -- BERNAMA

Recognizing the substantial role that large-scale CCS has in reducing greenhouse (GHG) emissions, Lehigh Cement, the International CCS Knowledge Centre (Knowledge Centre), and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group are moving forward with the engineering design for this feasibility study of the cement plant’s carbon capture system.
A first for the North American cement industry, the Lehigh CCS Feasibility Study looks at the viability of capturing 90-95 per cent of the carbon dioxide (CO2) - an estimated 600,000 tonnes of CO2 annually - from the cement plant’s flue gas. The study is also a first for each of these organizations in North America all of whom pledge to actively work toward decarbonization. The study is timely as the recently released Canada Climate Plan specifically indicates that it will develop a comprehensive CCS strategy and explore other opportunities to help keep Canada globally competitive in this growing industry. With experience gained through the design, construction, operation, and subsequent enhancements/modifications of the SaskPower Boundary Dam 3 CCS Facility (BD3 Facility), the Knowledge Centre, along with MHI Group and their collaborative work on the Shand CCS Feasibility Study, continue to be at the forefront of post-combustion capture processes globally and see an opportunity for CCS across post-combustion industries. Due to the remarkable similarities in flue gases, the expertise acquired at the BD3 Facility can be adapted to the cement sector with experienced-based guidance from the Knowledge Centre. The Lehigh CCS Feasibility Study will look to an engineering design that tailors the carbon capture technology owned by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Engineering (MHIENG), part of MHI Group, so called KM CDR ProcessTM being deployed at 13 commercial plants globally, for integration with Lehigh’s plant and output specifications, such as a flue gas pretreatment system and the carbon capture and compression process. With cement demand on the rise and as a sector that is challenged with further abating emissions, large-scale CCS could well become the definitive solution to cut GHGs. The Lehigh CCS Feasibility Study explores the value of this for the cement industry, by encompassing engineering designs, cost estimation and an in-depth business case analysis. Quotes “Advancements for large-scale CCS on cement is important in the broader deployment of CCS facilities across sectors so that we, as global citizens, can make meaningful impact on emission reductions worldwide.” - Beth (Hardy) Valiaho, VP Strategy & Stakeholder Relations, International CCS Knowledge Centre "The path to achieving a carbon-neutral world by 2050 requires the ability to decarbonize hard to abate sectors. By exploring and unlocking ways to expand our proven carbon capture technology to new markets and applications, we can face the challenge head-on.” - Yoshihiro Shiraiwa, President & CEO, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries America “This CCS feasibility study is essential for understanding how our industry can continue to meet growing production demands, while also meeting equally important climate targets. We are proud to be in a position to lead a global change with a crucial clean technology in our industry.” -Joerg Nixdorf, President, Lehigh Hanson Canada Region QUICK FACTS & LINKS Lehigh CCS Feasibility Study

On the hacker side, YesWeHack’s Asian community has more than doubled, and now represents 35% of the total community of 21,000 hunters. Created in 2013 in France and established since 2019 in Singapore, this growth underscores YesWeHack’s position as one of the leading players in crowdsourced security in Asia and confirms its position as the only alternative to American platforms.
Crowdsourced security for all The technology sector was the first market to adopt the crowdsourced security model, and remains the most significant market for YesWeHack. This is followed by the finance and insurance sectors, which respectively represent 35% and 26% of the Bug Bounty programs launched on the platform in 2020. The financial sector is predicted to rebound significantly during 2021 as a result of the guidelines issued by the Monetary Authority of Singapore, which for the first time include Bug Bounty as a means for financial institutions to discover IT system vulnerabilities. Twice as many vulnerabilities detected in 2020 The YesWeHack hacker community identified twice as many vulnerabilities in 2020 compared to 2019. Some 30% of the reported vulnerabilities on the YesWeHack platform were qualified as ‘high’ or ‘critical’, meaning they would have had a devastating impact had they been exploited by pirates. For example, exposing all customer data or entirely compromising an infrastructure. In terms of the types of vulnerabilities detected, YesWeHack notes that the evolution of technologies has led to a slight but constant increase in vulnerabilities. These result from implementation or design flaws (secure design and access control) that reduce the number of so-called technical vulnerabilities (input issues). This trend is expected to increase in the coming years as the hardening of the development frameworks continues. Ethical hackers will play a central role in 2021 Commenting on this growing demand for crowdsourced security, Kevin Gallerin, APAC Managing Director, says, “2020 marked a turning point for Bug Bounty in Asia. CISOs now consider Bug Bounty as an indispensable and agile tool to secure their organizations. They no longer question what Bug Bounty is, they now include it at the heart of their security strategies. Their only question is how and when to implement it.” View source version on businesswire.com: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20210121005425/en/ Contact Juliette Vienot [email protected] Source : YesWeHack • New medical insurance plan offers immediate no claim discount on insurance charges
