A fiery horse with a speed of light, a cloud of dust and a hearty high old silver, the Lone Ranger. In the early days of the western United States, the coming of the railroad brought prosperity to many districts. And the competition between the smaller towns for branch lines became intense. There were thousands of confidence men who took advantage of the way of a speculation that marked the era. And there were thousands of men and women who might have been cheated of their savings if it had not been for the masked rider of the planes. As it was, it took the full force of his courage and resourcefulness to protect the ranches from their own enthusiasm. Return with us now to those thrilling days when the west was young. From out of the past come the thundering hoofbeats of the great horse, Silver. The Lone Ranger rides again. Come on, Silver! We're heading for Pecos County! In common with every other western community, Pecos wanted a railroad. But the newly organized Pecos and Western refused to build unless the county voted bonds to assist it. A grand rally had been called and the inhabitants of both the town and the surrounding country listened to the arguments of J.C. Bladgett, the company's president and general manager. Friends, I can't urge you too strongly, solely in the light of your own welfare, to vote the bonds that my company will need in order to construct the kind of railroad the future prosperity of Pecos demands. It will open up the country, draw manufacturers and act as a magnet for trade. Let me remind you that if we do not build here, we shall build somewhere else. The prosperity that might have been yours will go to a rival community and grass will grow in the streets of Pecos now so crowded with trade. And remember, friends, to ensure all these good things and to guard against such disaster as I have mentioned, you and your fellow citizens need only vote to the Pecos and Western bonds to the value of $200,000. How small a sum that is compared to what it will bring you and how blind must be the man who will vote against it. And therefore, vote against the affluence both of himself and his neighbors. My friends, that is all. Well, I think that did it, Jake. I reckon it did. $200,000. It's a nice lot of money. Ain't it, though? And, Jake, we can be a long ways away when these fools wake up. In Mag, just think, when the railroad's built, all this land of yours is going to be worth five and ten times what it is now. Gully, I reckon you'll be one of the richest women between the Mississippi and the border. Don't it please ya? You want to know what I think? What? I think folks have gone clean daft over these thunderation railroads. But don't you think? I think what railroads are being built know just where they're going to run ahead of time, regardless of what town votes and bonds and what town don't. Oh, Mag, you got that all wrong. Now take the Pecos and Western. It's already got its tracks laid clear to the head of the valley. It can go whichever way it pleases, either through Pecos or through Titusville. And if we don't vote them bonds, then folks over Titusville will. If the railroad ain't gone through Pecos, why'd the tack on the name?  That could be changed easy enough. Then it'd be the Titusville and Western. Well, I still ain't satisfied. Mag, sometimes I think you... I'm not what? Oh, nothing. Missouri, you old bag of bones. What was you going to call me? I didn't say it. You were thinking it. Is there a crime? Missouri, when you start thinking it's always a crime.  But in spite of the misgivings of many of the county's most level-headed citizens, in the time for the voting game, the bonds were approved by a ratio of 10 to 1. And construction of the railroad was once more resumed. But shortly afterward that the Lone Ranger returned to the district. And with his faithful Indian companion, Tonto, watched the work of the crews from a distance. Now, though, I don't like the looks of this. What matter? I don't know just how to explain it. Doesn't seem as if the town's people can lose. After all, they don't turn over the bonds they voted until the first train has run over those tracks. And Blagit has given them voting stock in the company. Actually, the stock held in the name of the county amounts to control. That's right. That's exactly what I can't understand. What do you think? I think Blagit was too anxious to put this deal across. Maybe you're right. What's more, from what I've seen of him, I don't like Blagit himself. Come, Tonto, let's ride. And where we go? There's someone I want to see. Oh, that? He wouldn't know him, Kimisabe. If anyone can tell me what I wish to know about Blagit and the Pecos and Western, he's the man. Come on, Tonto.  Come on, Tonto. Come on.  You'd better stay with the horse, Kimisabe. You're welcome. I heard ya! I heard you, friend. I told Missouri that once the Lone Ranger had never whacked him again. Hello, Mag. Howdy, friend. Hey, you got Tonto out there? It is, Missouri. Missouri my golly I got to speak to him well my line is keeping you're standing out here on the port you come on in I want to talk with you trouble perhaps I thought as much I know you wouldn't be making no social calls friend what is it my don't misunderstand me what I've discovered so far only gives ground for suspicion I have no kind of proof and everybody knew you as well as I know your friend the wouldn't ask for no more proof than just your suspicions the most generally right in this case I hope they're not yeah they concern blood it's on the pay close and Western oh so that's it yes well don't surprise me none I thought blood you'd a crook from the first right from the first I was again boating them bonds but when the whole world goes local the fuel with sense gets locked up man what would happen if in the end the county lost the two hundred thousand it's investing in this railroad received nothing in return what would happen it just about ruin these parts that's all that man well I should smile how did it like that ever be paid without raising taxes sky high the way it is everybody's figuring the railroads gonna make them so all fired prosperous a few more taxes won't amount to nothing but if the railroad failed to bring prosperity it had set the counter back ten whole years and keep new citizens from moving in just so but what started on all this huh tell the truth my guy first became suspicious when I learned that bladgett was handing over the voting stock to the county that amounted to control then I looked at that part of the line which had already been built and saw that it was cheap narrow gauge construction bladgett claimed that was just for now it all but changed in a couple of years I know well after that I called on a friend of mine a banker with good connections yeah he couldn't uncover anything definitely against bladgett but he did learn this isn't the first short line railroad the man's promoted none of what she stayed by exactly so this could be a fraud a trick to get the county's money and give little in return wouldn't be the first scheme of the sort by any means I should smile it wouldn't add several reasons for mentioning the matter to you the first place I want you to keep your ears open for anything that may serve to prove my suspicions they'll be open that wide the flap if my suspicions are correct I have a plan to bring the facts out in the open that plan may need your help which you ought to know by this time you're welcome to whenever it's needed thank you Mac you've never failed me you've never failed anybody and in the meantime yeah wouldn't hurt to start a little talk the bounds have been voted most of the original enthusiasm has died down perhaps your neighbors are ready to begin thinking more carefully and you mean it wouldn't be a bad idea of rumors were circulated that bladgett would bear watching. I say if it bladgets honest they'll do him no harm but if they ain't they'll fit into something I haven't mind friend yes Mike if you want someone who can talk you come to just the right party fine and if you don't believe it ask Missouri. During the days that followed the railroad crept gradually closer to Pecos. Gladgett made his headquarters in a private car followed the construction crews one afternoon as he was riding at his desk Jake entered the car and it's you Jake where have you been. I've been to Pecos bladgett have you walk a barred horse from the foreman and you needn't set their grin and neither what I heard in town ain't funny just what do you mean there's some funny stories about you going around you've been talking to anybody you shouldn't but what well about what we were planning to do after we collect them bonds I don't think I have you don't think I mean I've discussed it with no one but you I hope you ought to be trusted Jake trusted. Oh yeah well if you're sure you ain't talked to nobody else I said that no offense meant just seem funny exactly what did you hear well nothing really I mean nothing you could pin down just talking the cafe about why you need two hundred thousand bonds when the line your building ain't worth half that you know it's just goes to show how little they understand about the construction of a railroad when they said this line isn't costing half that they were wrong sure it isn't costing one for honest bladgett you get by that cheap it was a matter of fact I'm speaking of what it would cost to duplicate the materials and labor yeah actually it's costing me almost nothing I persuaded the man to work for half until the bonds are delivered and discounted for cash most of the materials I've obtained and credit of course they haven't been charged against me they've been charged against the pay coast and Western I get it that's why I made no difficulty over granting the county so much stuck let me get my hands on that cash and they're welcome to the line that's an old don't you mean when we get our hands on that cash bladgett oh of course you wouldn't want to make any mistake about that you know don't talk like a fool well it never hurts to remind us forget it forget anything you're hurting Pekos also needed likely to cause trouble how well just the contract's clear on the day the first passenger train runs into Pekos the bonds are given to me actually that fulfills my part of the bargain nothing in that contract would states I must run a second train I could take that money do nothing more and retain it quite legally although it was a matter of policy as a matter of policy Jake I think it'll be safer we don't stay our friends might not appreciate our rights they well they might act a trifle to hastily in which case yeah we might find ourselves at the business end pair of sturdy ropes Jake what are you looking so pale about they've frightened you would you say what you're listening I guess it wasn't what's bothering you couldn't be talk sense for just a minute there I thought I seen a lone ranger but I know it couldn't be more than the first act of our lone ranger drama before the next exciting scenes please permit us to pause for just a few moments how to continue our story racing away from the railroad the lone ranger rejoin tanto at their secret camp your Mustang bag branch what you find out if they're not much today Kimisabi not taken by itself but added to the other things we've learned quite a lot not good I might have learned more but I had to keep out of sight of the crew and in rate we know for certain that Bladgett and Jake plan to use the money they obtained from those bonds for themselves and no one else that's right seems as if knowing that much it should be easy to prove it isn't however Bladgett is in a good position as president of the Pekos in Western he has the full authority to convert those bonds into cash once that's done you leave this part of the country if he does even then we can do nothing how would we prove such a trip wasn't only get him at business he's not obligated remain right here what we do then we'll have to use the plan I outlined first and hope that it'll work I hit good plan well if it fails we can always try another we wait several days why wait it's still a week before the line will be completed huh and the day that the first train enters Pekos is going to be a big celebration me here talk yeah if we work it right that celebration will fit into our plan I'm me savvy but if we act too soon we might spoil everything just a little patience came a subbie and I know we'll win at last however the tracks reached the very edge of town on the following day the branch would be completed and that must hang mags ranch house old Missouri was looking forward to the coming celebration with an enthusiasm that aroused mag suspicions Missouri you quit looking at yourself in the mirror and listen to me just a second man what are you doing now can't just make up my mind huh would you say a real bright neck tie would go with my complexion mag or would I look better than something kind of sea day heavenly days are you gonna wear a neck tie well why not you are up to something you're no Missouri I think maybe tomorrow you better stay to home you're gonna get in trouble when a fellow your age gets young notions he ain't fit to be trusted alone so now man I reckon for the good all concerned you better forget the celebration and do some work for a change you see now how long's it been since anybody's all over by that east fence mad you're gonna make me ride fence on a day like tomorrow just for your own good Missouri you can't do it I my golly I quit how much you got coming huh tell me what I owe you now pay an hour mad you you mean you really let me quit sure why not then then I won't I thought you wouldn't dog blasted mag sometimes you get me said dog gone mad as that's the case I need better come in the mask man going to the celebration tomorrow well I'm well I ain't just sure I am too good friend what did you ask for if you went Missouri do you think you could follow instructions huh hey is it something to do with what we talked about when you first showed up yes of course I can follow instructions you got something you want me to do just one thing and it shouldn't be hard what tomorrow a large crowd will be waiting to greet Bledgett mm-hmm they expect him to arrive in town in his private car won't he know me now I'm sorry will you keep stealing at the mask well or explain yourself I wasn't bothering him no he won't enter town in his private car Missouri in fact he won't be coming into town at all huh you'll be waiting just outside the old Hanson place well that's the one that he's lived in anymore right what and how could they be doing there you will learn that when the time comes Mag just now I want Missouri's promise that he'll remember that he'll bring the town's people there and that he won't fail when did I ever just plenty of times you'll do it Missouri don't savvy but I sure will and I'll see you then adios all right let's go we've worked to do Howard later Jake was walking past a dense grove of trees on his way from town when suddenly that way you are what to get him up the mask man into the saddle with you here they go help help keep still one more shot out of you and I'll use these guns thank you no cash on me there's no use holding me up I this isn't a hold up then what do you want you can't guess I don't know what you're glad you didn't tend to collect those bonds tomorrow then share with you you know about that why shouldn't I you said hey bladgett hire you that's a question I'm not answering he did he did I do his dirty work for him and now he wants to get rid of me he wants to keep the whole thing for himself do you expect anything different I'll fix him just let me get my hands on him you'll do nothing dirty little promise you one thing what's that you'll get not one penny of that 200,000 from bladgett I'll see to that come on so many more the masked man led the way to deserted the Henson place left his prisoner with Tonto in the empty bunkhouse and he'll eat to the saddle once more and circle the town this time his destination was the same as Jake's had been before his capture bladgett's private car stay there old fellow what that that's a gun you're reaching for bladgett drop it think right now Jake wouldn't care if I shot you or not what was that you said don't argue just come along and down old step I said look quickly into the saddle can we talk this over if you're after cash I am it's cash you're worried about bladgett I can get what I want without coming to you huh with you out of the way Jake will be a wealthy man you mentioned him before right I demand a know why isn't it true with you out of the way Jake would collect those bonds in your place tomorrow as your representative yes but then couldn't he dispose of them without your help aren't they readily negotiable I don't see what good you don't plan to do more blind than I think you are come on old fellow come on the last man returned to the deserted ranch but avoided the bunk house and took his second prisoner to the ranch house itself there bladgett was securely bound by Tonto just as Jake had been earlier all that night until almost noon the next day both men were well guarded neither was aware of the others captivity and at 12 o'clock Tonto rode away alone an hour past then stranger well bladgett you better listen to me yes Jake hired you to kidnap me didn't he I refuse to answer that he's denying it you've already let enough slip for me to guess the truth and if I have he double crossed me maybe and if you have any sense you realize that if he double crossed me he'd do the same to you I don't think he will I tell you don't know the man let me out of here help me get back at him and I'll pay you anything you ask why should I trust you any more than you say I should trust him you know and if he has hired me which I haven't admitted you gain just as much money by having you out of the way as you would if he were out of the way in other words you'd be in no position to pay me anything more than he could but I could be trusted I doubt that stranger listen why I tried I said I'm just rude up brought him back so early now trouble what's the matter now he's big trouble what is it something's going wrong huh take him in cafe is him drink plenty fire water go on him talk plenty him make keep big talk him tell everything you're sure that huh about the bonds what he and bladgett had planned huh him not know what him say well there's some town and plenty mad what's up to you and said what he said is true bladgett it looks as though the games up for everyone they're come fellers the crown from town they must have picked up your trail they're heading here what if jakes talked with the elixir if they find me right get me away get me out of here you'll have to take care of yourself they're coming too fast don't go don't leave me wait untie me anyhow give me a chance please give me a chance your life time I can't let any man be lynched without a fair chance bladgett giving you yours there you're free which will I go I've been a horse I did take some advice what's that there they are you can't escape so far they've heard just Jake story from what Thomas told us you have just one chance to get out of there and tell them your side of it explain it the best way you know how I wouldn't dare what else can you do well I get on with you quick I'll have to don't let me all right to get to the bunkhouse and release Jake long enough to hear what bladgett's got to say he's yelling something what was that you said bladgett the whole thing was Jake's idea for first alias it was Jake's all over to get that 200,000 I don't care what he told you is his idea to steal it I heard ya putting the whole blame on me well you ain't gonna get away with it you fellas know I just work for this conk don't you it was him thought of this way of stealing your money well I'll be dog gone Jake you say bladgett was gonna steal the county's cash he was gonna cash them bonds and skip out I wasn't any worse than you you were going to do the same thing I didn't even said you've been in town drinking huh me I've been in that bunkhouse tied up all night what's that look where the ropes was on they tricked what run for it all we come here to thank these gents for building the railroad and they just chop and confess their crooked and there goes the hombres that planned the whole feature of the Lone Ranger Incorporated


Have you ever wondered what a sports betting group chat looks like? Let's go find out. Do you have a group chat with your friends when you guys are like going back and forth with bets? Yeah. Do you have a name for it? Yeah, it's just called Denver. That's a winning group chat name. What's the worst bet you've ever seen sent into your betting group chat? Lately, anything Broncos related. Have you ever celebrated a bet in the group chat too early and regretted it? I'd say yeah.  Have you ever celebrated a bet too early? Yes. I think I bet Curry to have over 30.5 one game and he had 30 and he left it at that.


My friend standing next to me, this is his first time speaking at DefCon, his name is Shingal Ma, and he wants to play with malware injection with exploitive thoughts. I don't know if I said that right, but let's hear him explain it. And before we get started, I'm going to give him a good congratulations. Are you already drinking? I already did. OK. Hello, everyone. My name is Ma Shingal, and I'm just a master degree student from Taiwan. And I'm also a security researcher from C-Trude and TDOHaker. This is my first time speaking at DefCon, so I'm a little bit nervous. And I just drink that shot, and it's very spicy. So that's OK. So let's do it. So it's the agenda. First, I'm going to talk about what is malware injection? Vulnerability inspired by PowerShell, PowerLonger. So let's quickly review what is malware injection? In the past, malware injection is useful by passing some production, like by passing wireless tracking, by passing antivirus, or privilege escalation. And, for example, with their siloing and digital signature, we can bypass the antivirus. And with remote inject and wireless process, and we can bypass the wireless, wireless, and with the inject explorer and digital siloing and self-elevated service, we can bypass Windows USB production. So then there are several well-known techniques, like we have known about those technology about inject, like shell code, shell code inject, DL inject, process hollowing, and thread hijacking, atom-bombing, and memory export. And in my presentation, I will focus on how to do malware injection in exploit way, how to do it.  The first one is, what is target? You should choose a good target to injection. And this target must be meaningful. Then secondary, where to place a merit space for us to place our malware code in remote process. Then, certainly, we need to know how to write malware code from remote. And finally, we need to find a way out to run the malware code from the remote. This is the most difficult part for us. And you can create a new thread and hijack current thread or whatever. So this is an interesting case for us. We are talking about as power loader. And what is power loader? Power loader is known as extra window vulnerability. So what it is? And there is Windows data in explorer process memory. And those data decide how your GUI, how your window is look like. And this is how it's going. First, operation system will send message to your explorer. Secondary, explorer fetch the Vtable from low-stata. Finally, explorer invoke the code functions on lay Vtable. And you will say, why is the problem? It seems very normal. It's generally. So why is the problem? The problem is how explorer fetch lay Vtable because we know explorer will invoke the code function from Vtable. So the problem is how explorer fetch lay Vtable. Actually, it fetch lay Vtable by a Windows API named get window long. So we can easily modify the result of get window long API. Just use set window long API to change the Vtable address. So let's put it all together. We can know if we can inject a fake Vtable, then we can use set window long API to point the Vtable address to the fact Vtable. And then we can, if we send any message to explorer, explorer will invoke our malware code from lay fact Vtable. So if you, I gave a pillow here and we just prepare our share code and prepare our memory layout on lay Vtable, then use set window long API to modify the Vtable address of target, AKA explorer. Then just send a message to lay explorer and it will trigger our payload. So let's see a quick demo. Here, here, ah, okay. And here, you can see, let's test on Windows 7 and here is my share code. Then it's pretty hard to use big screen. And then you can see I prepare our memory layout and inject the fact Vtable into target explorer and send a message to explorer. You can see if we compile and you can see explorer is crushed and down and run our share code on the remote. So there are three more, three more vulnerability from, we are talking about next. First one is OLE drop enter event and what it is. And if you do some reversing stuff, you will see like those code on the screen and explorer use global add item to keep a string name OLE drop target interface. This string in the, just keep it by global add item API. Then you can see when explorer try to resist a jagged drop event, you can see explorer store the drop target structure in OLE drop target interface properties. So you will ask about what is drop target? This structure is useful what? And you can see drop target is, actually it is a Vtable class. Keep every coping function as just of jagged drop event. So explorer use and when you try to jagged file, jagged file any files to explorer or inside explorer, you will trigger a function named privilege jagged drop. And you can see in this function, explorer will try to use getpropWAPI to fetch lay Vtable class and invoke the function on the Vtable when you jagged any files inside explorer. And you will ask about why is the problem? The problem is it's pretty easy for us to modify Vtable address by another API is setpropW. And if we use this, API can modify the Vtable address. So what we need to do is inject a fact Vtable and point the OLE drop target interface as the properties to our fact Vtable. So finally, so let's see how you go in. You can see jagged files. If we check in files inside the explorer, then operation system send a message to our explorer. Then explorer fetch our fact Vtable by getpropWAPI because we just use setpropWAPI to change the Vtable address. Then the explorer will invoke the malware code from our fact Vtable. So if we need to prepare, if we prepare our share code and the Vtable on the correct memory address, then use setpropWAPI to modify the Vtable address of lay window data. And whenever just explorer send or receive any jagged jar, jagged jar event, the message, then explorer will invoke the malware code of our share code. So it's the first one. You can see how we inject the jagged jar event of explorer. And first, you can see it's our share code. And here what we need to do is prepare our Vtable address and the Vtable address prepare our share code address. The explorer will call the function on memory plus C. And we write the process memory, list share code into the Vtable and the share code into target process. Then just use setpropWAPI to modify the OLE job target interface properties. So you can see if we compile oops, oops, and we compile and inject the share code and the Vtable into target. And there's nothing happen, but if we drag any file into explorer, you can see there's a message box there is from share code. Then you can see we can look it on test manager and you can see it's from explorer. This message box is come from pop up from the explorer. So, oh, so silent. And the second case is comctl subclass event. And first, explorer keep UX subclass this property string by global add item API again. Explorer invoke master subclass plus function if it receive any message. If in this function you can see explorer call the function first get subclass header and to fetch lay window data then verify lay window data we just get by another function is enter subclass frame function. Then finally, if lay way the window data is correct and explorer will try to invoke the function on window data. So let's see how to explore check the window data and how to call the function. And in enter subclass frame function we just said about it's used for verify lay window data is correct or not. So all you see we need to care about is here the vtable plus a the function address it should be new or it will fetch the bad memory address and call explorer crash. So we need to prepare our vtable we need to keep it new on the window data plus a. And in enter subclass call bay function you can see the vtable is actually it is dynamic. So explorer have a rule actually on this slide you can see explorer have a rule to get call bay function dynamically in our vtable address. So we can use this rule to check which address is our circle address should be at. And finally explorer invoke the address we get just on the window data to process any message. So we just need to prepare another vtable and our circle in the vtable address and put it all together on the correct memory address. Then just use the proper API to modify the vtable address and just use send message to trigger a message function of explorer. This is another more interesting case here. And you can see it's meta-square I built on my PC and it's finished and Windows Defender is open and I just took this video yesterday and whenever I just click the POC and you can see there is nothing happen for user. Victim don't see anything there. But our meta-square here is get a reverse share and we can do anything like LLs, system info and even we can execute a CMD you can see Windows Defender is not happening anymore, not potatoes. And you can see the CMD come from explorer. Okay, so the final interesting case is thread hijacking is this case is those vulnerability code is inside the Windows 10 so if you use Windows 7 and Windows 8 you are safe. Yes, it's pretty ridiculous. And every process is created on Windows operating system by let API is create a process this API and kernel will create a new process and map each session into the new process memory then create a new thread then point the PC register to the program entry a.k.a. address of entry and first threader didn't just jump into the address of entry first threader will call the LDR initialize to repair the important address table, export directory and relocation information and the interesting is you will see for now threader should just jump into the address of entry but no, for Windows 10 threader will check variables is before threader jump into the program entry every threader will jump into another address is address of LDR dedicated RTL user threader star, these variables if it's not new so if it's not new it will jump into it so you can see it's pretty easy for us to abuse so just put a share code to the target process and write a share code address into LDR dedicated RTL user threader star these variables its name is very long every threader must jump into the share code address if it's create on the new target process so let's see the final demo here you can see it's a cron and I open a new cron there here I just only thing I need to do is to get the actually LDR dedicated RTL user threader star is looking at which address and when we get the address and we just write our share code address into the variables then if cron you can see I just inject the share code and the variable on the target process and nothing happen there but if we try to browse a new website like google.com and you can see there is a CMD come from cron yeah thank you you can see the CMD is come from cron so okay thank you for listening


Hello to all, I am an experienced Serious Editor, working for Enegro since 2021. I have more than 9 years of editing experience, in fact I have previously worked as a Serious Editor for a book series concerning chemistry of fruits and correlated metals.

It is with joy and pride that I greet you the good people of Ansleray and of St. Lucia at this time of the year when we as a people not only celebrate the spirit of goodwill and share but reflect on the closing year with fervent hope for the new one. 2019 has been a year of steady progress for St. Lucia with the tourism sector leading the way. Already we have recorded a 7.5% increase in visitor arrivals for 2019 over 2018. We have secured additional airlift into the island including the non-stop American Airlines flight from Chicago that began this month. A crowning moment for us was St. Lucia's 11th win as the world's leading honeymoon destination. Along with the staff of the Ministry of Tourism, Information, Broadcasting, Culture and Creative Industries industry workers have worked hard this past year to improve the country's fortunes. This dedication has also resulted in progress in our constituency of Ansleray Canaries. Once a simply drive-through for visitors, Ansleray is now a destination with attractions like the Toulanger Beach Park and as the Village Tourism Project unfolds there will be a complete and total transformation of the village's waterfront. At this time last year I told you my constituents of plans for a new health centre in Ansleray and today I'm happy to report that works have commenced and are advancing smoothly. I also promise you an improved space for human resource development, community meetings and recreation and after nine years of closure the Millat Community Centre at Derando is now open. The Millat Combined School was also rehabilitated, a new Assembly Hall was also constructed at the Roseau Combined School, a new roof installed at the Ansleray Primary School and the Canaries Infant School was also refurbished. Works on a new early childhood centre for Jack Mill is on the way. This year we also welcome upgrades to the Canaries ICT Centre with free Wi-Fi in the community under the GI-Net program. In our continued effort to improve the quality of life for all constituents we completed upgrades to the Canaries water catchment. Residents at Techemer in Millat also now have a more reliable water supply with the installation of a new water pump and storage tank. Road conditions throughout the constituency received a tremendous attention in the year and I am proud of the works done in Roseau, Otaba, Monda, Monsizo, Abba Cocoa, Vana, Blackstone, Jack Mill, Venus among other areas. This Christmas as we embrace each other let us not forget those amongst us who are less fortunate, those who face adversity, those that are jobless, those who suffer from distressing health conditions or grieving the loss of loved ones. I am also overjoyed by the outpouring of love from the community for such individuals in their time of sorrow and in their time of pain. It is that human spirit that will ensure that as a constituency we will rise and we will thrive. It is against this background that a substantial investment was made throughout the year to provide housing and medical assistance to those in need. We also saw 50 young constituents eagerly grab opportunities to study hospitality programs with Monroe College as part of the National Apprenticeship Program. I am also proud of the youth in Ancelere, especially in the sporting arena. With the upgrading of the Jack Mill and Canaries playing fields, they are better able to hone their skills. Let me especially congratulate Ken Elcock, Tory Polius, Darwin Ford, who were all selected to represent St. Lucia's National on the 15 Cricket Team. We have achieved a lot for 2019, but there is much more to be done when the new year dawns. I am committed to the task at hand and with your continued support together, all in, we can realize absolute success. On this note, I wish you all the good people of Ancelere Canaries, Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.
