 project.) Furthermore, he was also one of 1,200 “core” employees who directly work on the project. Chen was on the electrical engineering team, according to the charging document.

Apple’s team found Chen had “over two thousand files containing confidential and proprietary Apple material, including manuals, schematics, and diagrams,” according to the charging document. They also found “hundreds” of photographs of computer screens with sensitive company information displayed, including some that were clearly of his own laptop — a way to get around the company’s internal monitoring systems, the FBI says. The complaint details specific photographs taken as recently as December, but also as long ago as June 2018, just a few weeks after Chen was hired.
The FBI says that Chen had been placed on a “performance improvement plan” in December and was potentially in danger of being fired. Chen also told Apple he had applied for two new jobs outside the company, including one at an unnamed Chinese autonomous vehicle company.
Chen was arrested one day before he was scheduled to fly to China. He had told Apple he planned to visit his sick father, according to the complaint. Chen faces up to 10 years in prison and a maximum fine of $250,000.
“Apple takes confidentiality and the protection of our IP very seriously,” Tom Neumayr, a spokesperson for Apple, said in an email. “We are working with authorities on this matter and are referring all questions to the FBI.” Daniel Olmos, a lawyer for Chen, declined to comment.
The US has long suspected, and often accused, the Chinese government of encouraging trade secret theft as a way to build up its own industries. But indictments and further accusations have seen a recent uptick. In October 2018, the Department of Justice charged 10 Chinese nationals of hacking aerospace companies. One month later, the DOJ accused a state-owned company of stealing trade secrets from a US chipmaker called Micron Technologies. In December, the DOJ charged two more Chinese nationals with running a 12-year hacking campaign that compromised at least 45 companies and government agencies.
Most recently, Canadian officials arrested Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou at the request of the US government. While the arrest originally centered on possible violations of US sanctions against Iran, this week, the Justice Department accused Meng and Huawei of fraud and stealing trade secrets from T-Mobile.

All of life and death is in healthcare, and all industries flow into and out of healthcare.
Dr. Wendy Purcell, visiting professor with UCL GBSH, focuses her research on environmental health. She will be joining the UCL MBA Health as a visiting professor and believes it is vitally important for business programmes to start focusing on healthcare, as the MBA Health will be doing; not just offering health electives within an MBA.

Product review: After upgrading to PPC2003, I was able to easily install the (included) driver and connect wirelessly to the internet with my iPAQ3955 (note that the driver will NOT work with PPC2002). It can be a little buggy when initially connecting to networks, but otherwise works well. Signal strength was better than expected. Definitely worth the small price tag!

Learning T-Touch isn't something that I have done quickly but it does seem to be helping me to help my dogs relax.

Review title: Just plain disturbing Product review: This is one of the few books in my life that I could not finish. How anyone could find it amusing is beyond me. I got about halfway through, expecting some redeeming value in it due to the many good reviews, and also because I have enjoyed several other memoirs recently (The Liar's Club, The Glass Castle, Oh The Glory of It All, all of which I highly recommend).However, when the psychiatrist he is living with starts reading meaning into his bowel movements, and has his adult daughter scoop them out of the toilet and save them on the backyard picnic table (no, I'm not making this up), I could not bear it any longer. It doesn't matter whether the story is true or not. This is nothing but trash.
decreaseWhat Is PaaS (Platform-as-a-Service)?
Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) is a method of delivery in which an organization's developers can access software and tools via the web rather than on their local machines or computing environment. Because the platform is delivered via the internet and stored in the cloud, PaaS frees software development teams from having to worry about software updates, storage, or infrastructure.
What Is the Cloud and the 3 Main Cloud Service Models?
The cloud generally refers to software, data, and services that are stored and accessed via the internet rather than on the user's device. There are three main cloud service models.
Used by an organization's software development team, PaaS allows teams of engineers to write, test, deploy, update, and manage software in the cloud. PaaS includes a variety of built-in services that help development teams write code more quickly. It can be used to create the smallest of applications or those that will be deployed enterprise wide.
Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) delivers to organizations a complete cloud computing infrastructure, including servers, networks, operating systems, and storage. Enterprises that choose IaaS do not need to buy any additional hardware or equipment. Everything is delivered virtually through the cloud, and there is nothing physical to maintain.
Perhaps the most utilized of the three, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) is a cloud service model in which a company delivers its software to users via the internet. The user does not need to download, manage, or keep updating software locally in a hard drive in order to use it. All a user needs is a web browser and an internet connection.
What Are the Common Scenarios of PaaS?
With PaaS, development teams can more easily write, review, share, test, and deploy code. PaaS includes several built-in development tools that facilitate and accelerate application development.
Data analysts and data scientists can use PaaS to mine their organizations' data with greater fluency. The PaaS platform helps produce insights, patterns, and forecasts that allow organizations to unlock more meaning in their data.
