Welcome to our News Roundup covering November 2019. At the beginning of the month, a General Election was called, with the date for voting set for 12^th December 2019. This has obviously dominated the headlines and the airwaves this month, as each political party campaigns for your vote. Here are some relevant news stories you may have missed this month; covering finances, gold and diamonds – so take a look to see what’s been happening during November!

Economy News

Retail sales suffer as shoppers spend more on takeaways

New figures on consumer spending were released at the beginning of November, showing that shoppers on the high street are spending less than this time last year. Although shoppers bought 0.6% more goods in October 2019 – which is the best performance since April – last October’s figures showed a 1.3% growth. This means that average growth in the last 12 months is just 0.1%, which is the lowest annual growth since these particular records began 1995.

Increased competition and economic uncertainty have both been cited as reasons why shoppers are not spending as much. Research from Barclaycard showed that 22% of consumers spent less on leisure activities and eating out in October, but 6.9% more was spent on takeaways, suggesting people are increasingly opting to stay at home rather than go out.

Re-mortgage activity increases

Talking of staying at home, new figures released by UK Finance on 20^th November show that re-mortgages in September outstripped last year’s figures by an amazing 5.9%. First-time buyer and home-mover mortgages were both showing much lower growth since last year, at 1.6% and 1.8% respectively. This suggests that people are increasingly deciding to stay put rather than move ‘up the housing ladder’ during these uncertain times. It’ll be interesting to see how this goes on to affect the economy in the coming months.

Money News

Hundreds of communities have little or no access to cash

Which? released figures on the 14^th of November after analysing data from Link, who provide cash machines. They found that 115,741 people live in cash deserts, where there is not a single cashpoint in their postcode district. Of these 130 areas, 36 districts also do not have access to a Post Office. Areas with just one ATM are just as numerous, with 129 communities in this position. Unfortunately, of these ‘one cashpoint communities’, a whopping 65% of them must pay a fee in order to access their cash.

These figures have added to the concern about how rural and poorer communities will be hit hardest as we transition into a cashless society. Which? have set up a Consumer Agenda for Government, which calls for the next leader to guarantee access to cash for as long as it is needed.

Mystery bundles of cash left in County Durham village

Over the last 5 years, residents of Blackhall Colliery, a small village in County Durham, have been puzzled by mysterious bundles of cash left out on the pavement. Since 2014, 12 separate bundles of £20 notes have been found on pavements in the area, almost always amounting to £2,000 each time. It is unclear where the money is coming from, but the honest villagers of Blackhall Colliery have been dutifully handing in what they find to local Police.

Investigations have been carried out with the local bank and the cash has been tested for fingerprints, with no leads. The latest find, on 18^th November, was the fourth one that had been handed in this year. Whether it’s the work of a Good Samaritan or something else is yet to be seen – how long will this saga continue?

Gold News

New police advice as gold thefts rise

There have been a number of notable gold thefts from residential homes recently, where certain properties seem to have been targeted specifically for the gold that is assumed to be inside. As the price of gold is doing rather well of late, jewellery is an even more tempting item for burglars – particularly as it can be easily melted down and sold for cash.

The police have released some tips to help you keep your gold safe:

• Keep high value jewellery in a bank safety box when you are not using it; do not keep it at home.
• If you’d rather keep your jewellery on your property, invest in a home safe.
• Keep an inventory of your jewellery and always take photographs so you can prove ownership.
• Insure your jewellery with a reputable provider.
• Make sure your home is as secure as possible.
• Never leave jewellery on display.
• Be careful what you post on social media.

Warning over fake online gold

At the very beginning of November, it was reported that the British Hallmarking Council found some concerning results after conducting a 10-day study on gold jewellery sold online. A third of items they reviewed did not have a hallmark, which means it’s very likely that the gold is not genuine. In fact, it is the law that anything sold in the UK which is made from a precious metal and is above a certain weight MUST have a hallmark, as it confirms its authenticity. Some smaller items, such as gold earrings for instance, do not require (and may not even have room for) a hallmark, so items like these should be scrutinised carefully if you’re buying online. The BHC has called for a review of the current Hallmarking Act, saying that it should be extended to cover internet trade.

If you want to buy gold jewellery online, always look for an established, professional seller who has decent images of each piece and is happy to answer your questions. Always ensure there is a hallmark present before agreeing to buy, and if there is not one present, is there an acceptable explanation for this?

Diamond News

Petra sells amazing blue diamond for $14.9m

On the 18^th November, Petra Diamonds sold one of their most striking recent finds for $14.9m, or £11.49m. The diamond, which is a massive 20.08 carat rare blue stone is of such high quality that it commanded over $741,000 per carat. The buyer is only known as ‘a leading diamond company that wished to remain anonymous’. The stone was unearthed in South Africa’s famous Cullinan Mine, where the largest rough gem in history was found – the Cullinan Diamond. Half of this stone was used as part of the UK’s crown jewels, so a rare blue diamond from the same mine has a special appeal. This sale has come at a good time for Petra Diamonds, who have had a challenging year thanks to a drop in diamond sales, trade issues and an increased interest in lab-grown diamonds.

Alrosa’s Matryoshka Diamond is put into their permanent collection

Last month, we reported on an incredible natural find by Alrosa mining company – a diamond within a diamond. This unusual find made headlines all over the world and generated a lot of interest with collectors and diamond companies. However, it was announced this month that the unique stone will be added to Alrosa’s collection of rare finds and will not be up for sale. It joins other interesting finds in their permanent collection, such as a skull-shaped diamond and one shaped like an American football.

The latest information shows that China Railway Construction Heavy Industry Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Railway Construction Heavy Industry") submitted a patent application in March 2024, aiming to solve the problem of inaccurate impact load measurement of the spindle bearing of the tunnel boring machine in actual operations. . The patent, with the publication number CN202410365043.3, focuses on "main bearing impact load signal filtering methods, devices, equipment and storage media" and was disclosed in early July 2024.

Details of the patent reveal that the R&D team of China Railway Construction Heavy Industry has proposed a set of integrated signal processing strategies aimed at improving the measurement accuracy of spindle bearing impact loads. This strategy cleverly combines low-pass filter, notch filter and Kalman filter algorithm. Through multi-layer filtering processing, it effectively eliminates the noise interference signal captured by the right-angle strain rosette sensor in the non-working state, and then fine-tunes the Kalman filter. Filter parameters. During the operation of the tunnel boring machine, the first impact load signal collected in real time by the right-angle strain rosette sensor is purified by the above-mentioned customized filtering process and converted into a more accurate and reliable second impact load signal, which significantly improves the accuracy of measurement.

The launch of this patent marks that China Railway Construction Heavy Industry has made a substantial breakthrough in the field of tunnel boring machine spindle bearing monitoring technology, providing the industry with more efficient and accurate solutions, effectively overcoming the difficulty in obtaining accurate information in complex operating environments in the past. Challenges with spindle bearing shock load data.

How can therapeutic peptide development be accelerated? 

That is really the question we have been trying to answer as we have built our peptide division. Our customers tell us that one of the major issues they face is the lost time in moving between suppliers from early stage research to clinical development and again into commercial supply. Every change and transfer adds delay and risk. 

Biosynth have set out to build a real first-in-class peptide development and manufacturing platform, where we can work with our customers from discovery, toxicology, clinical studies, and out to ongoing commercial supply and fill-finish of peptide drug product.  

Following our acquisition of Pepceuticals last year (Biosynth adds Multi-Kilogram GMP Peptide synthesis | News | Biosynth), industry news experts The Medicine Maker found out more about how we are addressing this gap in the market and about how Pepceuticals really were a “hidden gem”.

在一些公司，API 已经在集成团队的工具包中占据了重要位置。然而，也有一些公司似乎从未听说过 API。没关系，只要没有任何活动需要应用程序接口。例如，使用应用程序接口的需求可能来自于：

有备无患

由于上面提到的一些问题可能会在短时间内成为现实，因此现在就应该开始准备，其中可能涉及以下主题：

这些步骤做得越多，当出现 API 需求时，实施起来就越快越容易。

理想情况下，这些准备工作应该做到能够证明潜在的应用程序接口请求是合理的，而不是主动推动应用程序接口的使用。

解决方案

市场上有各种解决方案，大致可分为以下几种：

纯粹的应用程序接口解决方案不提供经典的集成技术，或仅通过扩展提供这些技术，而 “一体化 “解决方案则将所有技术整合到一个平台上，实现无缝互动。

而这正是许多公司面临的最大挑战。通常情况下，并非所有相关组件（如应用程序）都已与 API 兼容。有些组件由于成本过高或技术上不可行，永远无法实现 API 兼容。

只能为应用程序接口提供服务的集成解决方案将受到极大限制，甚至对某些任务毫无用处。纯粹的 API 解决方案本质上是另一个独立系统。

而将 API 活动与集成任务相结合的集成解决方案则能为您提供无限的功能。从本质上讲，应用程序接口可以被视为一种信封，您可以在其中装入任何想要的东西。

举几个例子：

陷阱

应用程序接口与非应用程序接口兼容组件的交互提供了许多选择。同时，还需要考虑一些主题：

非 API 兼容组件的可用性

如果一项服务（如网站或智能手机应用程序）需要全天候可用，那么其底层组件也需要全天候可用。如果无法保证这一点，则应提供适当的错误信息（如 “尊敬的用户，由于维护原因，我们的服务目前不可用”，这比 “500 – 内部服务器错误 “等技术信息要好得多）。

非 API 兼容组件的性能

在应用程序接口内进行的任何活动都需要时间。这种时间会增加向应用程序接口发出的任何请求的响应时间。如果期望 API 的响应时间不超过 100 毫秒，而为 API 提供信息的后台系统的响应时间却达到 2 秒，那么这种期望就根本无法实现。您还需要检查多个并行调用是否会进一步减慢响应时间。

结论

到目前为止，还没有出现从传统集成或 EDI 向应用程序接口转变的巨大浪潮。这可能是因为许多正在使用的接口已经非常成熟，而改变总是伴随着成本和风险。

尽管如此，通过集成和使用应用程序接口来创造价值的趋势在各个领域都非常明显，无论是其实时处理能力还是抽象、统一接口层的优势。

因此，对应用程序接口的明确建议是 “行动 “而不是 “反应”。这样，您就已经为每个 IT 部门迟早需要考虑的问题做好了准备。
