Social media has completely changed the manner in which we interact with each other. Distances and borders have all but disappeared online. However, it is a truism that for every positive there is also a negative.
Digital security firm Gemalto in its latest report has claimed that 3.24 million records were stolen, lost or exposed in India in 2017, 783% increase from 2016. Globally, 2017 was the first year publicly disclosed breaches surpassed more than two billion compromised data records since the Gemalto Breach Level Index began tracking data breaches in 2013.
Over the past five years, nearly 10 billion records have been lost, stolen or exposed, with an average of five million records compromised globally every day. Of the 29 data breach incidents in India in 2017, identity theft represented the leading type of data breach, accounting for 58% of all data breaches. Malicious outsiders remained the number one cybersecurity threat last year at 52% of all breach incidents. Companies in the retail, government and financial services sectors were the primary targets for breaches last year.
- Human error a major risk management and security issue: Accidental loss, consisting of improper disposal of records, misconfigured databases and other unintended security issues, caused 3.7 million records to be exposed.
- Identity theft is still the number one type of data breach: Identity theft was 77% of all data breach incidents.
- Nuisance attacks: The number of records breached in nuisance type attacks which were not seen in 2016 have started to happen in 2017. Such attacks have compromised 200 million records this year. The Breach Level Index defines a data breach as a nuisance when the compromised data includes basic information such as name, address and/or phone number. The larger ramification of this type of breach is often unknown, as hackers use this data to orchestrate other attacks.
Malicious outsiders were the leading source of data breaches, accounting for 52% of breaches, however making up 98.8% all compromised data. Malicious insider breaches were 14% of the total number of incidents, however this breach source experienced a dramatic increase (33%) in the number of compromised or stolen records from 2016.

ASA upholds complaint against Barclays for cash plan advert
The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has upheld a complaint against the direct mail advertisement for Barclays Bank Hospital Cash Plan Premier Cover, underwritten by Royal and SunAlliance.
The ASA judged that information on the advertising was misleading to consumers.
The complaint was brought to the ASA by The Good Doctor, a new organisation established to supply health information to the public. Its main focus is appropriate medical procedures, hospitals and medical consultants.
In the complaint, it was alleged that the advertisement suggested that a patient who had suffered a "small stroke" would be able to claim £1,400.
But the Good Doctor calculated that a claimant would typically be hospitalised for five days for this condition and would only be able to claim £400.
The ASA carried out inquiries into the length of hospital stays for stroke victims in making its decision. It ultimately accepted that the statistics presented to it by the Good Doctor were more accurate than the 15 day hospital stay that Barclays claimed was usual for the victim of small stroke.
"We considered the advertising to be misleading. The presumption put in the minds of potential clients is that long hospital stays, and the examples in the sales literature, are typical," said Michael Milner, Good Doctor director.
"The truth is that hospital stays are now mostly very short indeed and increasingly day surgery has taken over."
And he added: "As part of our role in meeting the growing demand by discerning customers for genuinely independent, well-researched healthcare information, we aim to expose misleading claims that either cause healthcare consumers unwarranted expense or unnecessary worry.
But Barclays Bank expressed concern at the ASA's ruling. "We do not believe that customers could have been misled as to the type of benefits available under our Hospital Cash Plan," said a Barclays spokesperson.
"The example used was for illustration purposes only and full details of the policy benefits were clearly stated in the marketing material."
However, the bank said that in the light of the decision, the material was to be suitably adjusted.

Police: Coronavirus lockdown means you can't drive to exercise or walk your dog
'Any exercise or walk or dog walk should be done from your own house'
Tristan CorkSenior Reporter
The police in Bristol have said people should not be driving to undertake their daily exercise or to walk the dog - and officers in the Avon and Somerset force have begun to advise of this.
Dog walkers at a beauty spot in Somerset have been handed leaflets from the police advising them that driving to park up and take the dog for a walk breaches the 'no unnecessary journeys' part of the coronavirus lockdown.
And police in Bristol have advised dog walkers and other members of the public that they could soon have the powers to enforce that rule.
The lockdown announcement on Monday included a line banning 'unnecessary journeys' - and the police in Avon and Somerset have begun to interpret that as including driving to your usual dog walking spot.
Notice issued by Wellington Police Team (Image: hull daily mail)
The leaflets were printed up by local officers in the Wellington Neighbourhood Policing Team in South Somerset, and handed to dog walkers in and around the famous Wellington Monument, which is a familiar landmark along the M5 between Bristol and Exeter.
The letter, handed to dog walkers, read: "The government restrictions currently in place do not permit you to use your vehicle to travel to this location to exercise.
"Each and every one of us has been instructed to avoid all unnecessary travel.
"You are entitled to exercise once daily. This should be by walking, running or cycling from your home address.
"You should not be driving to a location away from home to carry this out," it added.
People breaking lockdown rules can be arrested - with £60 fines confirmed
Coronavirus social distancing: Thousands enjoy Bristol sunshine, should they have stayed at home?
A spokesman for Avon and Somerset police backed that interpretation, and said officers had acted to reinforce the message from Monday's lockdown announcement.
"We are supporting the Government request for people not to undertake unnecessary journeys, and at the moment are providing advice to people that driving somewhere to take the dog for a walk is an unnecessary journey," he said.
"What the Government have said is that any exercise or walk or dog walk should be done from your own house, and that it is not allowed to drive somewhere to then do this," he added.
"Things will change in the coming days, because the law around this is due to receive Royal Assent, and what you may see is the police moving from acting in an advisory way like this, to having an enforcement role," he added.
Avon and Somerset Police say the leaflet was created by the Wellington Neighbourhood team and was handed out to around 100 motorists in the Wellington Monument, Quarts Moor, Lydeard Hill, The Seven Sisters and other 'beauty-spot' locations around the Wellington area.
Around Bristol, last weekend, places like Blaise Castle and Ashton Court were full of people - with almost all of them having driven to the estates and parked in the car parks there.
Chief Constable Andy Marsh said: "The most important message I can give is please follow the Government's advice and stay home to save lives. This is a health emergency and I can't say it any more starkly as that. I know our resilient communities in Avon and Somerset will respond and do the right thing, but the message is clear – we must act now to keep our loved ones safe and to protect our NHS.
"The Prime Minister's new measures for police forces are designed to help ensure the public remains safe. I'll be speaking to fellow Chief Constables today as a matter of urgency to see how these can best be enforced and seek further clarity from the Government around new legislation that is expected to be enacted.

"I want to make it clear, we will be enforcing these new measures which allow us to disperse groups of more than two people. If they don't disperse, they could face a fine. Initially we will be seeking to persuade those not listening to the advice to do the right thing – this will be through talking to people and reasoning with them. I am confident people will listen. This is for all our safety," he added.
Elsewhere in the country, other police forces have been getting tougher on people breaking the lockdown.
In North Yorkshire, assistant chief constable Mike Walker, meanwhile, said: "The new and significant restrictions announced by the Prime Minister on Monday evening spell out very clearly what each and every one of us must do to save lives. The message is clear and the warning stark. Stay at home, save lives.
"These are the lives of the people we know and love. Our partners, mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, children, grandparents.
"You may never be in such a position again where your simple actions will lead directly to saving lives."
In Coventry, police have swooped on both a house party and a barbecue, with the latter attended by 20 people, in the past 48 hours.

The Great Divorce
An interview with author and professor, Joshua Clark Davis
We're at the brink of something. And it's massive.
We're a billion-dollar industry and growing, made up of tens of thousands of individual businesses across the country. With the rapidly turning tide of legalization, thousands more are joining every day to cash in. Our horizons are laden with opportunities. But if we're to navigate the rocky paths to get there, we need to lift the fog. Who are we? Head shops? Smoke shops? Contemporary tobacco? 61 years in existence and we've yet to even define that much. Where are we going? How do we sustain the momentum we've worked so hard to achieve?
Believe it or not, we've been here before, albeit in a pre-digital era. Perhaps, if we want to understand what's ahead, we should take a gander at what's behind us.
It was Confucius who said, "Study the past if you would define the future."
Few of us know the story of how head shops came to dot the American landscape. Most of what we do know is conjecture shrouded in a haze of "he said, she said," and filed under "who gives a shit." Believe it or not, the industry wasn't born when the doors opened at the first CHAMPS show, nor was it conceived when Snodgrass first laid out his fumed pipes on a Dead lot blanket, though these were pivotal moments that can't be discounted.
Fortunately, Baltimore University Professor and author, Joshua Davis did give a shit, and took the time to catalog our beginnings in his book, From Head Shops to Whole Foods: The Rise and Fall of Activist Entrepreneurs, as well as his research essay, "The Business of Getting High: head shops countercultural capitalism, and the marijuana legalization movement." He was also kind enough to discuss his work over the phone for a couple of hours on a recent Friday afternoon.
"The book [and the article] is about activists and hippies who started small businesses in the 60s and 70s. They wanted to advance their movement," Davis explains. "They wanted to create 'free spaces,' basically places where people could meet, where 'longhairs' and activists could meet, places where they thought they wouldn't be harassed or just totally demeaned by business owners and law enforcement."
Our story begins in the Haight Ashbury district of San Francisco. The year was 1966. The Vietnam fiasco was at its zenith, the counter-cultural revolution was taking root across the country, and the increasingly bohemian Haight Ashbury was becoming its incubator.
Joshua Clark Davis, author
"It was amid this transition that Ron and Jay Thelin opened the Psychedelic Shop at 1535 Haight Street," Davis writes. As if to intentionally pucker the hindquarters of those involved in the current space, the Thelins offered "a wide array of seemingly incompatible goods," each of them "believed to heighten and enhance the effects of both LSD and marijuana." At the time, there were no laws governing the sale of paraphernalia for the Thelins to break. In fact, and LSD was still legal in California. It was open season.
Though business owners on paper, the Thelins were more heart than head, and prioritized the community they were there to foster over their bottom line, perhaps to a fault. When they lost a chunk of their inventory to water damage from fire hoses meant extinguish the blaze of an apartment that caught fire above them, the Thelins didn't replace it. Instead, they opted to use the resulting extra space as a place for meditation. Not long after, Davis recounts in his essay, "The Thelins . . . announced plans to incorporate the store as a non-profit and sell shares on the streets of the Haight for mere pennies."
Order in the store quickly unraveled as actual paying customers became evermore scarce while the meditation room devolved into a "crash pad" for burnouts. The business officially closed on October 6 of 1967. A pretend wake was held commemorate "the death of the hippie" that included a procession down Haight Street of more than 80 activists carrying a mannequin in a cardboard coffin. It ended in an all out looting of the shop, sanctioned by Ron Thelin.
But where they failed in business, the Thelins succeeded in fostering a national movement that doubled as an economic force, perhaps unbeknownst to them at the time. Stores were springing up all over the country offering similar spaces for the "longhairs," as well as similar articles to accommodate their journeys. There was the Head Shop in New York, New York, The Birmingham Balloon Company in Denton, Texas, followed by dozens more in every major city. The Thelins were wrong; the hippie wasn't dead, just in dire need of a business course or two.
The seventies saw exponential growth for the industry. "I think the big thing about head shops—and what really changed about pot—is that in the mid to late 70s, it became very, very commercial," says Davis. "Number one, High Times Magazine debuted in 1974 and it's instantly a major success . . . it becomes a venue for not only . . . pot, but it also has all these ads and articles for and about head shops. That is both symptom and cause. But just in general, pot becomes more accepted. It's being decriminalized . . . there were 12 or 13 states that decriminalized between 74 and 78."
Compared to today's standards, the 70s head shop was a literal free-for-all, with items for anything from cannabis to coke being openly sold with little repercussion. The industry was "wide open," as one industry professional recalled. Rumor has it that even Sears was in on the action, featuring a water pipe for sale in at least one edition of their catalog. It was also during this time that NORML came into existence, funding itself primarily from the proceeds of merchandise sold in head shops.
America wasn't ready.
"It is not accidental that under the Presidency of Jimmy Carter, America has gone this far down the road toward becoming a nation of pot-smoking zombies," War on Drugs editor, Nora Hamerman wrote in the Executive Intelligience Report in 1980. Indeed, many speculate the Carter administration was on the verge of legalizing cannabis before the Studio 54 incident of 1979, wherein his closest aids were alleged to have snorted cocaine. Apples and oranges though these substances may be, the scandal stopped the movement dead in its tracks.
Ronald Reagan, former President of the United States, 1980-1988
That same year, the DEA created the Model Drug Paraphernalia Act. As Davis describes it, the act was "boiler plate legislation" the states could easily adopt to crackdown on what the increasingly conservative populace saw as a growing epidemic. The election of Reagan put the final nail in the coffin of the possibility of legalization, while the states' adaptation of the DEA's Model Act became the catalyst for the industry's ultimate divorce from the movement that had spawned it.
Had activists like the Thelins still dominated the industry's landscape, this chapter of our story may have had a different conclusion. But as Davis previously noted, the 70s' commercialization of the culture brought in a different strain of entrepreneurs who preferred the bottom line over a higher cause. There were some exceptions, but for better or for worse, most opted to live to fight another day, while others preferred not to fight at all. The movement, if there was really one left to speak of, went silent, giving way to the "Just Say No" decade.

Saturday's March for Science calls for "robustly funded" science and "political leaders and policy makers to enact evidence based policies in the public interest." But is this just an attempt to dress up the marchers' political beliefs as science? And what do they mean by science?
Professor Armstrong appeared on Breitbart News Daily today to discuss his research with editor-in-chief Alex Marlow.
Fewer than 1 percent of papers published in scientific journals follow the scientific method, according to Wharton School professor J. Scott Armstrong.

MRI Interventions, IMRIS and Tocagen combine their technologies for drug delivery to treat brain cancer
MRI Interventions and IMRIS announced that a surgical team at a USA neuroscience institution has delivered the investigational gene therapy drug Toca 511 directly into a glioblastoma brain tumour using real-time intraoperative MRI (iMRI) guidance within an IMRIS VISIUS Surgical Theatre. MRI Interventions' ClearPoint neurointervention system was reported as being used as the navigation platform and the ClearPoint SmartFlow large-bore cannula as the vehicle for delivery of the therapeutic agent.
The procedure performed, according to the companies, in early May was the first convergence of these technologies. According to the press release the use of the technologies allowed surgeons to visually monitor and confirm delivery of the amount of the potentially drug precisely to the target location in the patient's brain within a operating room designed for patient safety and efficiency.
Using the VISIUS Surgical Theatre's iMR imaging in conjunction with the ClearPoint System's guidance software and ClearPoint MR-compatible components, neurosurgeons are, according to the companies, able to visually differentiate tumour tissue from healthy brain tissue, establish the target location for delivery of the therapeutic agent, and visualize delivery of the therapy in real time.
"We believe the key to drug delivery in the brain is the precise delivery of the therapeutic agent with immediate visual confirmation of results, to ensure that the full potential of the therapy is measured without apprehension over whether the drug hit its target," said Kim Jenkins, CEO of MRI Interventions. "With ClearPoint and real-time MR imaging, the surgeon can know that the drug hit its target."
In addition to drug delivery, the combination of ClearPoint and VISIUS technologies could be implemented for neurosurgical applications including laser ablation therapy, deep brain stimulation surgery, and brain biopsy, according to a press release.

Q: How to merge binary files using Java? I am downloading file parts using socket, saving them as .part1, .part2 etc.( However I am not sure if I should). I am trying to merge them in a .bin file. Can any of you recommend me a way to do that? Should I read them all as binary and then append it? I don't even know if that makes sense actually.

A: Why don't you open the first part for input, and open an output streamof the form
out = new DataOutputStream(new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(outFile)));

then read in your first part file as bytes, and use the writeByte() method to write it all out.
Then close the first part, open the second part, and read it in, then out to the output file.
Will that not merge the contents of the two files?

A: I did it. Read files one by one and wrote them to output.


I'm not a big Jc fan but I'm not even stupid enough to trade Deng and JC for Arthur and Mudiay.
I love this trade for the Lakers. JC is about all he is going to be, and it's a heck of a salary dump to get us ready for the 2018 FA class.
Why add yet ANOTHER PF, (Randle, Bryant, Nance, Kuzma) . There's a logjam already. Arthur doesn't help. Mudiay is a turnover machine and not a reliable shooter. Lonzo needs shooters around him. And I doubt Mudiay's future is a backup PG. he will build his stock back up this year.
Clarkson's ceiling is peaking. He is a sixth man and everyone knew that from the jump. He has a tradeable contract but he is reliable at what he does and isn't constantly injured. He's still fairly young and can play. I don't see why fans want to trade him. He's great for this team.
I guess you don't understand the concept behind "Salary Dump" and getting Superstars to play in LA. $12MM is too much to pay for Clarkson and his selfish play.
I think it would be better if we gave a little more and give Cleveland mudiay because they need a backup PG more than us and we need a SG Which Cleveland would already have so we'd get Murray.
Laker Love- For a salary dump to work the Lakers need to take back the same amount of salary and the contract would have to be expiring. The trade that was proposed by espn33 doesn't work cap wise for the Lakers. Lakers can't dump Deng and Clarkson who have $30M total next season for $8M worth of players to teams that don't have that much cap space or over the cap.
City dude is right just saying.
Laker Love - I don't think you understand salary dump. Trading clarkson, a future first, and Denver is not a realistic salary dump. Clarksons value is not high enough to attach to anything except the exchange of a second or another player. Dumping Clarksons salary with a future first will set the Lakers back. Clarksons productivity at 12M is good and does not do any harm right now.
Not as much as Deng at 30+ making 18M per. You would need to at least attach Randle and a future first to get rid of Deng.
Love the idea of jumping in on a 3 team trade if we can get Murray and dump deng without giving up ball or Ingram jump on it.

"We must provide ways for people to enjoy the spirit of a Chicago summer while prioritizing health and safety," Mayor Lori Lightfoot said. "As difficult as it is to remove these in-person events from our calendar, we are pulling out all the stops for an inventive, engaging and fun festival season this summer."

Primavera Sound Barcelona 2021: Bad Bunny, Charli XCX, Tyler, The Creator, The Strokes, FKA twigs And More Confirmed
Following a recent postponement, the celebrated Spanish festival has announced the first 100 artists for its 20th anniversary next June
John Ochoa
After its 2020 edition was postponed to next year due to the coronavirus pandemic, Primavera Sound Barcelona has today (May 27) announced the first 100 artists confirmed for its 2021 installment. The initial lineup features "a majority of artists who reconfirm their presence at the festival," according to a blog post shared on the event's official website announcing the 2021 artist roster, including Bad Bunny, Tyler, The Creator, The Strokes, Pavement, Bikini Kill and several other previously announced artists. Newly added artists include Charli XCX, Tame Impala, Gorillaz, FKA twigs, Jamie xx and Jorja Smith, among many others.
The five-day festival, now taking place June 2-6, 2021, in Barcelona, Spain, was originally scheduled to celebrate its 20-year anniversary next month (June 3-7). In late March, the festival was postponed to August due to concerns over the COVID-19 pandemic. Earlier this month (May 11), Primavera Sound Barcelona 2020 was ultimately postponed to next year, with the festival citing force majeure. The festival will now celebrate its 20th anniversary during the newly rescheduled dates in June 2021.
More artists, including acts confirmed for the original 2020 lineup and new additions, will be announced over the next few months, according to the Primavera Sound Barcelona website.

A post shared by Primavera Sound (@primavera_sound)
In the blog post, festival organizers addressed the impact the coronavirus pandemic has made on Primavera Sound Barcelona and the "hard times" it has caused for everyone involved.
"The entire Primavera Sound Barcelona team would like to acknowledge that we really appreciate all the messages of support, for the understanding and encouragement that we have received over the past few weeks," the post reads. "These are hard times for everyone and to feel that so many people are looking forward to collective events like our festival pushes us to work with more passion than ever …
"Whoever said that the second chances are never good did not imagine that we would experience something like what is happening this 2020. With the whole world on pause due to the evolution of the global pandemic and with the live music sector holding its breath facing a summer without festivals, we can only look forward: towards 2021, specifically, the year in which we are going to recover everything that will be pending from 2020."

The festival announced the lineup additions during the coronavirus pandemic, noting, "Under these difficult circumstances, the entire Supersonic staff is working to welcome the audience in the best form possible this fall"
Supersonic, the new multi-day, multi-city Japanese music festival, has unveiled its second artist lineup announcement for its first-ever edition this fall. The three-day event, taking place Sept. 19-21 in Tokyo and Osaka, has confirmed additional artists Black Eyed Peas, Steve Aoki, Clean Bandit and others. The festival has also added local Japanese artists including Asian Kung-Fu Generation, one of Japan's leading rock bands, Nulbarich, BiSH, chelmico and several others.
They join headliners and other confirmed acts like Post Malone, The 1975, Skrillex, Wu-Tang Clan, Liam Gallagher, Fatboy Slim and Kygo, who were previously announced in early April.

A post shared by SUMMER SONIC / SUPERSONIC 2020 (@summersonic_official)
The lineup news comes as the coronavirus pandemic has decimated the festival and live music industry since mid-March, essentially shutting down the global concert business. At the time of this writing, Japan has more than 17,000 confirmed coronavirus cases and 778 coronavirus-related deaths, according to The New York Times. In early April, the country declared a state of emergency and this week fell into a recession for the first time since 2015, The New York Times reports.
In a blog post shared on the festival's website announcing the lineup additions, organizers addressed the "difficult circumstances" the COVID-19 pandemic has caused.
"Under these difficult circumstances, the entire Supersonic staff is working to welcome the audience in the best form possible this fall while exploring a new form for the festival from now on," the post reads. "We thank you for your understanding and cooperation."
Supersonic is produced by the team behind Summer Sonic, one of Japan's biggest music festivals that's held annually over the summer in Tokyo and Osaka. Festival organizers postponed this year's installment of Summer Sonic to 2021 due to the 2020 Summer Olympics and Summer Paralympics, which were originally scheduled to take place in Tokyo this summer before the global sporting event itself was also postponed to next year, and instead introduced Supersonic for this year only, Japan Web Magazine reports.
Last August, Summer Sonic celebrated its 20-year anniversary with a lineup that featured Red Hot Chili Peppers, BLACKPINK, The Chainsmokers, Weezer and more. Attracting 135,000 visitors over three days, Summer Sonic become Japan's biggest outdoor music festival last year, IQ reports.

Ball Corporation Plans Bowling Green, Kentucky, Manufacturing Facility
Food & Beverage Growth Positions Kentucky for Future Success
Kentucky Uniquely Positioned to Prosper Post-Pandemic
Sustaining Industrial Labor Needs During and After the Pandemic
The Quality of Bluegrass
Ball Corporation plans to produce recyclable aluminum ends for the company's beverage can customers at a new manufacturing facility in Bowling Green, Kentucky. The project is expected to create 200 high-wage jobs.
Company executives expect to immediately start site preparation in the Kentucky Transpark to build a 500,000-square-foot facility, scheduled to begin production in early 2022. The operation, Ball's first in the state, would provide capacity to supply aluminum ends to Ball's expanding North American network of beverage can manufacturing plants.
"Bowling Green will join our industry-leading network of more than 20 North American plants, including two new beverage can manufacturing plants currently under construction in Glendale, Arizona, and Pittston, Pennsylvania, scheduled to start up in early- and mid-2021, respectively," said Colin Gillis, president, Ball beverage packaging, North & Central America. "These investments will align our end production with our beverage can capacity investments and are supported by numerous long-term customer contracts to serve the unprecedented demand for sustainable aluminum packaging while furthering Ball's Drive for 10 vision for long-term success."
To encourage the investment and job growth in the community, the Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority in a special meeting on Thursday preliminarily approved a 10-year incentive agreement with the company under the Kentucky Business Investment program. The performance-based agreement can provide up to $6 million in tax incentives based on the company's investment and annual targets of creation and maintenance of 198 Kentucky-resident, full-time jobs across 10 years and paying an average hourly wage of $45 including benefits across those jobs.
By meeting its annual targets over the agreement term, the company can be eligible to keep a portion of the new tax revenue it generates. The company may claim eligible incentives against its income tax liability and/or wage assessments.
Additionally, KEDFA approved Ball for up to $1.3 million in tax incentives through the Kentucky Enterprise Initiative Act (KEIA). KEIA allows approved companies to recoup Kentucky sales and use tax on construction costs, building fixtures, equipment used in research and development and electronic processing. Ball can also receive resources from the Kentucky Skills Network.
"As we enter the new year, we will continue to focus our economic development efforts on sustained job and wage growth across the commonwealth," Governor Andy Beshear said. "This announcement of Ball Corp.'s new aluminum can end production facility in Warren County creating nearly 200 high-wage jobs is a major step toward securing a better future for Kentuckians. I want to thank Ball for this commitment to the workforce in and around Warren County, and I look forward to the company becoming part of Team Kentucky."
Ball's arrival in the commonwealth continues a trend of companies creating high-wage jobs throughout the state, a goal of Governor Beshear's administration. The 236 new location and expansion projects announced in Kentucky in 2020 are expected to create over 8,000 full-time jobs in the coming years at an average hourly wage of $22.11, the state's second highest mark of the past six years.
"This amazing project will have an enormous economic impact in South Central Kentucky," said Ron Bunch, president and CEO of the Bowling Green Area Chamber of Commerce. "We are grateful to Ball Metal Beverage Container Corporation not only for investing in our economy after several months of site considerations in multiple states, but also for bringing great jobs and future opportunities to our community."
Headquartered in Westminster, Colorado, Ball was founded in 1880 and has grown to include more than 100 locations employing over 18,000 people worldwide. The company became widely recognized over the years for its popular canning jars and currently produces infinitely recyclable aluminum packaging for beverages and personal care products, as well as aerospace and other technologies and services to commercial and governmental customers. In 2019, the company produced roughly 48 billion recyclable aluminum beverage containers throughout North America.
