While many fraudulent messages are easy to spot, some take a lot more inspection to work out whether they’re real or not. So what can you do? Here’s a checklist of things to look out for, to protect yourself from phishing. 1. An Unusual Sender Address Phishing scams often take place via email, so it’s crucial that you’re vigilant about who you’re communicating with. It’s likely that, when you receive an email, you don’t check the address of the sender....
Unfortunately, the films failed to stick the landing. Despite The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi receiving excellent reviews from critics, receiving praise for how they celebrated Star Wars lore whilst interrogating the central themes of that universe, The Rise of Skywalker was largely panned for being a nonsensical, contradictory, overly-saccharine mess. Moreover, because these films were positioned to tell one ‘big story’ across all three movies, the badness of The Rise of Skywalker retroactively made the previous two films worse: knowing that this is where the characters would end up, fans quickly soured on all of the ‘sequel trilogy’ (think how Season 8 of Game of Thrones made the initial seasons less enjoyable)....
The hottest ticket of the cold-war craze is probably Wolfgang Becker’s “Goodbye Lenin,” winner of the 2003 Berlin Film Festival’s award for best European picture. The hit comedy tells the story of a freedom-loving Easterner’s love for his mother, a devout communist. On seeing her son beaten by GDR police at a protest rally in late 1989, she collapses into a coma, awakening only after the wall has come down and East Germany is history....
That complexity is in large part what makes Nehru an interesting and accessible figure–unlike a Gandhi, say, shrouded in hagiography. Tharoor, the United Nations under secretary-general for communications and a contributor to NEWSWEEK, is best when he picks apart the contradictions that plagued his subject. Returned from England a young firebrand, Nehru is seen tempering his provocations of the colonial authorities, largely out of deference to his political mentors–his natural father, Motilal, and his adopted one, Gandhi....
After a relatively quiet weekend in MMA last week, things picked back up this week and while Andy Ruiz Jr.’s shocking upset of Anthony Joshua has stolen the combat sports headlines (and rightfully so), there is still a bunch to discuss from inside the cage over the last handful of days. Join DAZN and watch more than 100 fight nights a year From some serious upheaval in the UFC light heavyweight division and a couple brilliant returns to some new names to remember and the usual assortment of goodness that comes from a RIZIN event, here are my thoughts on the biggest moments of the weekend....
Arafat’s journey, an epochal event in Mideast history, was in fact yet another whistle-stop on his perpetual road to somewhere else. And that fact – he was to leave Jericho Monday or Tuesday for a summit this week with Israeli leaders in Paris – gave the drama a sense of anticlimax. “He wants to go to Paris from his homeland,” said one aide in an attempt to explain an itinerary that Arafat announced only three days ahead of time, astonishing even his top aides....
But something strange happened on the way to the pantheon. In 1967, Bontecou was led off to rural western Pennsylvania by the temptations–or, depending on which gossip you listen to, the demands–of life with artist-husband Bill Self and their young daughter. In the 1970s, she became enmeshed in a long court battle with rifle-toting Ku Klux Klan supporters who didn’t appreciate arty types on their turf and tried to have her farm road closed....
Perhaps no state embodies America’s bullish, risk-taking mentality more than Texas. It is unabashedly pro-business and very inexpensive, with the second lowest tax burden in the United States, few regulations and hardly any labor unions. America’s shrinking oil sector has been painful for Texans, but it has also prompted the state to adopt a new economic strategy that reflects two complementary trends in America. One is the huge influx of immigrants over the last 20 years, and the other is the rise of service and knowledge industries to counterbalance the demise of the U....
Yet along with the restrained murmurings came a surprising show of another sentiment that Richard Nixon craved and never quite got enough of. respect. Henry Kissinger, who had once called his former mentor “odd” and “unpleasant,” praised Nixon’s patriotism and his “coherent and purposeful” foreign policy. Bill Clinton, whose wife began her legal career as an assistant to the House committee that voted to impeach Nixon, expressed appreciation for Nixon’s “wise counsel on so many occasions” and noted that “his country owes him a debt of gratitude....
Because estrogen alone stimulates the uterine lining and increases the risk of endometrial cancer, women with an intact uterus are advised to pair estrogen with progestin–which blocks this effect–in a regimen called hormone-replacement therapy (HRT). Estrogen alone has long had a dark side: it is associated with an increased risk of breast cancer. Now, in one of those you-can’t-win cases, it appears that progestin may increase the risk of breast cancer even more than estrogen alone, says Dr....
So when the student asked about America’s climate of fear, Obama pounced. “We have been operating under a politics of fear: fear of terrorists, fear of immigrants, fear of people of different religious beliefs, fears of gays that they might get married and that somehow that would affect us,” he declared. “We have to break that fever of fear … Unfortunately what I’ve been seeing from the Republican debates is that they are going to perpetuate this fearmongering … Rudy gets up and says, ‘They are trying to kill you’ … It’s absolutely true there are 30,000, 40,000 hard-core jihadists who would be happy to strap on a bomb right now, walk in here and blow us all up....
The Samsung Galaxy Watch5 Series The reveal of the two models in the Galaxy Watch5 range comes via renowned leaker Evan Blass at 91mobiles. It shows full 3D renders of the watches and enables us to gain an insight into what we can expect. The Galaxy Watch5 Pro is said to be the update to last year’s Watch4 Classic, with the new name making it clearer that this is the more high-end of the two watches....
For instance, on Roger Clemens, I wrote, “A charter member of the Barry Bonds Society, having been plenty worthy of Hall consideration without drugs, Clemens is not getting in now. Whether the BBWAA ever puts him in, or whether he has to wait for a veterans committee down the road, is an open question.” I’m glad that, at this moment in time, I do not have a BBWAA ballot, as it takes 10 years as a baseball writer to get a vote, and next season will be my first as a member of the organization....
In hardball Washington, Lott’s appeal itself was hardly unprecedented. (The senator’s spokesman says the meeting was “not intended to pressure anybody.”) But instead of instructing the lobbyists to send the money to Abraham’s campaign or to the Republican Party, Lott gave them the phone number and mailing address of an obscure organization few in the room had ever heard of – Americans for Job Security. Operating from a small unmarked office in northern Virginia, the group bills itself as a “trade association” promoting “business or economic issues....
No one knows his name, his age or what he looks like, but we do know he is who he says he is and The Secret Scout really does know his onions. As an introduction, he’s allowed us to republish his thoughts on Harry Redknapp’s January transfer dealings which he originally produced on his personal blog in April. From here onwards, these words are The Secret Scout’s words and have not been edited in any way....
But in the EU matters are never quite so simple. Some governments still find the reforms too modest. Spending will actually increase in the short term thanks to a farmers’ compensation package. Others say the changes are too radical. France has warned that it may want the whole agriculture debate reopened when government leaders meet in Berlin at the end of the month. As for the farmers, the head of France’s powerful agricultural lobby has already called the deal “unacceptable” and hinted at heading back to the streets....
1966: Civilization on Earth is destroyed in a nuclear war waged with ““atomic satellites.’’ Humanity won’t recover for several thousand years. (The 1960 film version of H. G. Wells’s ““The Time Machine,’’ directed by George Pal) 1982: U.S. Robot and Mechanical Men Inc. is incorporated shortly after the end of World War III. The company’s first robot models cannot talk, but they exhibit human behavior. Twenty years later the company will demonstrate the first mobile, speaking robots....
These are not isolated sentiments. Many, perhaps most, doctors share them. Consider the results of two recent studies. In a survey of 4,500 physicians, researchers found that 31 percent would choose a different profession if given the chance to start over. Factors such as work stress and poor control over their work environment weighed heavily in their opinions. The other study demonstrated a high level of emotional exhaustion in about one third of doctors....
The Sims 4 is having a great run at the moment – especially with the release of Discover University, one of the most anticipated add-ons for Sims players. However, now that over 16 Expansion Packs and Game Packs (plus a whole host of Stuff Packs) have been released into the world, it’s only a matter of time before EA plows ahead with the next generation. We’ve rounded up everything that we can so far on when The Sims 5 is coming, and all the rumours and predictions that we know about the gameplay....
During his availability at Phoenix’s Media Day, Ayton was asked how he felt when the Suns matched the four-year, $133 million offer sheet he signed with the Pacers in the offseason. His response? “I was happy. It was all done, I guess.” When asked if that was it, he said “yup.” 24 hours later, Ayton was back in the news after being asked how he and Suns head coach Monty Williams have been able to move on following the team’s Game 7 loss to the Mavericks, in which Ayton played only 17 minutes....
