The concept of creating a barrier or ring around an environment for safeguarding can be traced back to ancient civilizations, where they had to protect themselves from marauding armies or spies infiltrating their settlements. Today, organizations are facing ever-evolving threats from outside and within their boundaries from terrorism, state-sponsored cyber-attacks, industrial espionage, politically driven activism — the list goes on. What’s more, the tools at the disposal of bad actors are more powerful than ever, be it the use of spies, drones, social media or the Dark Web to coordinate protests and attacks.Irrespective of the changing attack vectors, the problem…

Valtteri Bottas has conceded that becoming a reserve driver at Mercedes “could be painful”, with the Finnish driver wanting to still be on the Formula 1 grid. Bottas returns to the Silver Arrows next season after not being retained by Stake Sauber, who have opted for a brand-new driver pairing. The Hinwil-based outfit has signed Nico Hulkenberg and F2 champion Gabriel Bortoleto, leaving Bottas off the grid having failed to find another seat. Returning to Mercedes as a reserve driver was his best option to remain in the F1 paddock, with the next goal being to secure a spot on the 2026 grid…

Este jueves cumple 20 años la mayor catástrofe natural del siglo XXI: el tsunami del 26 de diciembre de 2004 en el océano Índico, un oleaje desencadenado por un terremoto submarino de magnitud 9,1 que dejó más de 220.000 muertos repartidos en 14 países del mundo –casi 170.000 víctimas mortales solo en Indonesia–, daños materiales por valor de unos 13.000 millones de euros y llegó a convertirse en el catalizador de transformaciones políticas impensables en las regiones afectadas. El ejemplo más nítido de esto último ocurrió en el epicentro de la catástrofe, la provincia indonesia de Aceh, una región empobrecida…

Taip jis reagavo į šalies vadovo komentarus, jog „aušriečių“ pirmininkas sąmoningai arba nesąmoningą nori „siūbuoti (koalicijos) laivą“. „Kalėdų dieną Daukanto dvaro šeimininkas niekaip negali pamiršti asmeninių nuoskaudų, kaltindamas Žemaitaitį noru įsiūbuoti, o gal net nuskandinti koalicijos laivą“, – trečiadienį įraše feisbuke sakė parlamentaras. R. Žemaitaitis praėjusią savaitę pranešė, kad jeigu nebus vykdoma koalicijos sutartis dėl antro „Nemuno aušros“ Seimo vicepirmininko, partija gali trauktis iš valdančiosios koalicijos.

Contemporary calls for relief, aid, or charity span numerous domains of care and increasingly exist in the absence of a rights-based model of justice, not as a complement to it. This troubling trend displaces demands for equal rights in favor of inegalitarian pleas for mercy. My interest in justice and mercy stems partially from having worked as a refugee and asylum lawyer in the United States. Later, as a legal anthropologist, I sat in on murder cases in Iran’s capital Tehran over a span of a decade. A curious aspect of the criminal justice system that I sought to examine…

It’s Christmas morning in 2024.Once again this year, as the sun rose over the otherwise deserted city centre, too many people were curled up and asleep in doorways.One of them is Max. He is slouched outside the doors of a shop on St Mary’s Gate, with a bacon sandwich in his hand.”Merry Christmas” he says to passers-by.He has spent much of the last 16 years on the streets after being kicked out by his parents as a teenager. Christmas morning is just two days after his 38th birthday – yet another day experienced without celebration.”It’s horrible, seeing all these people…

Há 7 minutos A confiança dos ucranianos nos líderes ocidentais não para de cair. Os ucranianos não têm ilusões: negociar com Moscovo levaria a futura agressão russa. E nós, quando seremos capazes de concluir isso? Despedidas, ilusões e transições 1-ADEUS BIDEN: ALÍVIO OU SAUDADES? A ideia final que poderá prevalecer é a de que Biden foi um fracasso: fraqueza no Médio Oriente, Ucrânia na iminência de perder território para ter algum tipo de paz, Afeganistão entregue aos talibãs e esquecido pelo Ocidente. Na frente interna, baixa aprovação, americanos a sentir que continuam a pagar muito…

Why It Works This popcorn is easily customizable, meaning you’re not beholden to pre-packaged flavors. Brown paper bags are not necessarily designed to be microwave-safe. Watch the whole time when microwaving your popcorn, and if in doubt, it’s better to err on the side of leaving some kernels unpopped rather than trying to pop every last one. I have a weird sensitivity to certain sounds—there’s no reason to go into the details except to say that I’m not generally inclined to make popcorn at home because I can’t handle the high-pitched screeching of the pan as I shake it back…

SEOUL — South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has failed to comply to a second summons for questioning over his brief declaration of martial law, a joint investigation team said Wednesday, as the suspended leader’s security service stands in the way of investigators.A source from the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials said that the Presidential Office had not responded, the Yonhap News Agency reported, following a similar nonresponse to the first summons last week. The CIO is still a long way from seeking a warrant for Yoon’s arrest, the source said, adding that there are still many things to consider. Source…

Промышленность в конце года ускорилась, повысив уровень избыточности запасов и планы выпуска на фоне снижения спроса. Самым заметным это снижение оказалось для производителей инвестиционных товаров — на фоне стабилизации инвестиционной активности в экономике уровень загрузки мощностей в обработке снижается. По данным Росстата в ноябре в годовом выражении, промпроизводство выросло на 3,7% против 4,3% в январе—ноябре 2024 года. Как и указывало большинство опережающих индикаторов, внутригодовые темпы роста выпуска в четвертом квартале повысились: по данным Росстата, с нуля (в среднем за месяц) во втором квартале до 0,5% в октябре и 0,7% в ноябре 2024 года (сезонность учтена). Оценки других аналитиков свидетельствуют, что…

Jerewan. 130.000 Geflüchtete, Abkehr von Russland: Armenien befindet sich im Umbruch. Ein früherer Erzbischof sorgt allerdings für Unruhe. Der Mann, der Armeniens nächster Premierminister werden will, sieht von weitem aus wie ein esoterischer Guru. Bischof Bagrat Galstanjan steht auf einer kleinen Bühne auf dem Platz der Republik im Zentrum Jerewans. Hinter ihm flimmert eine psychodelische Grafik, die an einen 90er-Jahre-Bildschirmschoner erinnert. Doch statt versöhnender Predigten gibt es hier spaltendes politisches Programm. Galstanjan ruft: „Für uns gibt es keinen anderen Wert als unsere Heimat und unsere Ehre. Wir müssen niemandem dienen, weder drinnen noch draußen.“ Zum ersten Mal seit drei Monaten…

ORLANDO, FLORIDA —  A man accused of attempting to assassinate President-elect Donald Trump in South Florida won’t be tried until September, a federal judge ruled this week. Ryan Routh’s trial will begin Sept. 8 instead of the previously scheduled Feb. 10, start date, U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon said in an order released on Monday. Routh, 58, a Hawaii resident, has pleaded not guilty. Routh’s attorneys had asked the judge to delay the trial until no earlier than next December, saying they needed more time to review the evidence against him and decide whether to mount an insanity defense. Routh…

Campaigners are urging Labour to lead the charge for global debt relief in 2025, as new analysis shows lower-income countries spent 15% of their revenue on repayments this year – the highest level for three decades.Calculations by the charity Debt Justice, based on data from the World Bank, show repayments from poorer countries bottomed out at 4.4% of income in 2011 but have since trebled.“High debt payments are preventing the public spending needed to cut poverty and tackle the climate emergency,” said Debt Justice’s policy director Tim Jones.Gideon Rabinowitz, director of policy and advocacy at Bond, the anti-poverty coalition, said:…

Law enforcement agencies across 15 countries have shut down 27 DDoS-for-hire services. In addition, the agencies have apprehended three administrators and ascertained 300 users of these platforms. This is part of an ongoing, global initiative known as known as PowerOFF, in which authorities combat cyber crime (DDoS attacks in particular). Security leaders weigh in Ken Dunham, Cyber Threat Director at Qualys Threat Research Unit:Law enforcement actions do make a difference, however, it always depends upon how adversaries choose to respond.

Dec.20 (GMM) Yuki Tsunoda “would have deserved” a promotion to Red Bull Racing, but lost out to Liam Lawson in key areas. That’s the explanation of team advisor Dr Helmut Marko, as Red Bull announced that rookie Lawson, 22, and not the much more experienced Tsunoda, will be replacing Sergio Perez for 2025. Marko says the Japanese driver took the news well. “He’s in Japan right now and I spoke to him on the phone,” Marko told f1-insider.com. “He took the news relatively calmly. “I told him to keep pushing hard with the Racing Bulls and then we’ll see what…

Q: Uzbekistan is undertaking a number of reforms to open up the country. These changes include steps to improve business conditions. What form will these changes take?A: In Uzbekistan, we are actively moving to expand the private sector and increase foreign direct investment. Under the previous government model, it was difficult. The government would control the access to foreign currency and allocate state funds to strategic entities, which were de facto state monopolies crowding out the private sector. This needed to be changed.One of the first steps was to take regulatory functions from the state-owned enterprises. Our national carrier, Uzbekistan…

It can be a challenge to define the term “family movie.”That’s because different families have different perspectives and, most importantly, different values. European families find the violence in U.S. movies unsettling. American families, on the other hand, are more conservative regarding sexual content.This type of difference is true among your friends and neighbors, too. Many times, I’ve talked to a friend who recommended a so-called family movie, only to discover it didn’t align with what we allow our children to watch. No doubt, the reverse is likely true, too. And then there’s Hollywood, which often seems to have the loosest definition of “family movie” imaginable. (Basically,…
