In recent years, we've noticed many retailers kicking off their ' Boxing Day' sales earlier than ever. One such brand, renowned for its iconic footwear, has launched its discounted range, offering up to 40% off. The Dr Martens sale was initially launched only for those subscribed to the brand's newsletter for 'early access', but is now available to all. This pre-Christmas treat includes a wide variety of styles, from the classic 1460 boots and loafers to accessories like bags and even insoles, all massively reduced. The Dr Martens sale runs until January 27 at 5pm, giving you plenty of time to browse. However, we anticipate that many styles will sell out quickly, so it's best to be proactive and secure your favourite design before it's gone.

Naturally, they're finished with the iconic yellow stitching and branded heel tab, but these 1460 style boots also boast a fleece lining for added warmth . The shoes are water-resistant and feature an oiled finish that adds a touch of character. Customers who have bagged these beauties claim they require no breaking in period, dubbing them as 'the best [I've] ever had'. Fancy a fur-lined boot for extra snugness? The 1460 Serenas are currently discounted by 30%, now priced at £126 instead of £180. Sporting a tan finish, these popular 8-eye boots are lined with WarmWair faux fur in a contrasting cream. There's also a Chelsea boot version available for £126 here, exuding equal elegance. Alternatively, if you're not fussed about the lining, grab these 1460 Vonda Mono boots , reduced from £180 to £126, which maintain the same 8-eye lacing, mustard yellow stitching and 1460 style, but the shoes are adorned with a beautiful embroidered flower design that gives them a unique flair. Still available in all sizes - 3-9 - get them here . If you're in the market for some Oxford shoes, Dr Martens' 1461 patent leather shoes might just be what you're looking for. They've been reduced to £98 from their original price of £140. While there are still sizes available in white, there's a wider range of sizes in stock for the bold and shiny black patent pair. You can grab them here. Not keen on the patent style? The 1461 Carrara Leather Oxford Shoes are available for £69 - that's a 50% saving from its usual £139.

They've received praise for being 'durable, sturdy and beautiful to look at', which is always a plus - although be warned, some people have noted the shoes rubbing a little, so it's best to break them in before wearing them for extended periods. As a massive DMs fan myself, I've had my eye on a pair of Jorge II mules for the entire year to add to my collection and am thrilled that a selection of colours are discounted - it's a sign that I need to get some. For instance, the Hair-on Slingback Mules in a bold zebra print are down to £84 from £140, while the olive and tan Nubuck Leather Slingback shades are currently £78 instead of £130. Easy, comfy and pretty cool, these mules are incredibly versatile with two adjustable straps and the ability to wear the shoes with the ankle strap placed forward (to wear like a slider) or around the ankle for stability. Shoppers are raving about a particular shoe, with one fan gushing: "Absolutely obsessed with these. They're comfortable straight out the box! I'm usually a 6.5 or 7 in shoes but I'm a 6 in Dr martens unisex styles. I'm a 6.5 in womens docs. I love how versatile these mules are. Currently styling them with wool socks!" However, it's worth noting that some found the sizing a bit generous. If you're looking to get ahead of the summer season, the brand's popular Blaire Tumbled Nubuck Leather Sandals are currently discounted by 30%, now priced at £77 instead of £110. Available in muted olive, tan and black, these chunky sandals are not only flattering but also comfortable.

Bargain hunters can also snatch up some colourful laces in the sale to add a pop of colour to existing boots for £1.50. Check out Dr Martens' amazing end of year sale here . Dr Martens isn't the only hotspot for shoe savings; Schuh's sale is also happening now with discounts of up to 60% off on brands like Converse, Crocs, and beyond. Debenhams is another go-to spot for deals, currently showcasing a selection of shoes on offer, reports Wales Online .WASHINGTON (AP) — A ninth U.S. telecoms firm has been confirmed to have been hacked as part of a sprawling Chinese espionage campaign that gave officials in Beijing access to private texts and phone conversations of an unknown number of Americans, a top White House official said Friday. Biden administration officials said this month that at least eight telecommunications companies , as well as dozens of nations, had been affected by the Chinese hacking blitz known as Salt Typhoon. But Anne Neuberger, the deputy national security adviser for cyber and emerging technologies, told reporters Friday that a ninth victim had been identified after the administration released guidance to companies about how to hunt for Chinese culprits in their networks. The update from Neuberger is the latest development in a massive hacking operation that has alarmed national security officials, exposed cybersecurity vulnerabilities in the private sector and laid bare China's hacking sophistication. The hackers compromised the networks of telecommunications companies to obtain customer call records and gain access to the private communications of “a limited number of individuals." Though the FBI has not publicly identified any of the victims, officials believe senior U.S. government officials and prominent political figures are among those whose whose communications were accessed. Neuberger said officials did not yet have a precise sense how many Americans overall were affected by Salt Typhoon, in part because the Chinese were careful about their techniques, but a “large number" were in the Washington-Virginia area. Officials believe the goal of the hackers was to identify who owned the phones and, if they were “government targets of interest,” spy on their texts and phone calls, she said. The FBI said most of the people targeted by the hackers are "primarily involved in government or political activity.” Neuberger said the episode highlighted the need for required cybersecurity practices in the telecommunications industry, something the Federal Communications Commission is to take up at a meeting next month. “We know that voluntary cyber security practices are inadequate to protect against China, Russia and Iran hacking of our critical infrastructure,” she said. The Chinese government has denied responsibility for the hacking.
Daily Post Nigeria ICPC arraigns ex-bank MD, CEO over alleged money laundering Home News Politics Metro Entertainment Sport News ICPC arraigns ex-bank MD, CEO over alleged money laundering Published on November 27, 2024 By John Owen Nwachukwu The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC, has arraigned a former Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria, FMBN, Gimba Kumo Ya’u. He was arraigned alongside two others over an alleged diversion of $65,000,000. The money was meant for the development of 962 units of residential housing units in Kubwa District in Abuja. Ya’u was brought before Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court, Abuja, alongside Mr Bola Ogunsola, former Executive Director and Tarry Rufus, Managing Director of T-Brend Fortunes Nigeria Limited. The ICPC told the court in a charge sheet marked FHC/ABJ/CR/333/24 that the alleged offences of the defendants go against the Public Enterprises Regulatory Commission Act and Section 19 of the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022. In a five-count charge, the anti-graft commission told the court that the ex-bank CEO made payment to Good Earth Power Nigeria Limited in the sum of N3,785,000,000 out of the total contract sum of $65,000,000. The money was meant to erect 962 units of residential housing in Kubwa, Abuja, named “Goodluck Jonathan Legacy City.” ICPC alleged that Yau and Ogunsola, in their roles as CEO and ED of the bank in August 2012, had secured a loan of N14 billion from Ecobank Nigeria PLC on behalf of the bank. ICPC further alleged that Yau, as the then CEO of FMBN, awarded the $65 million contract despite knowing that the company lacked the capacity to carry out the contract. It added that the project remains incomplete “as of today.” The other defendants were accused of giving and receiving $3,550,000 of the contract sum in cash in contravention of the Money Laundering Act. Tarry Rufus, Good Earth Power Nigeria Limited and T-Brend Fortunes Limited were accused of directly converting the sum of N991,399,255 into $3,550,000 and handing over the same to one Jason Rosamond (now at large) in cash, contrary to Section 18(2) (b) and punishable under Section 18 (a) of the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act 2022. The defendants, however, pleaded not guilty when the charges were read to them. Following their plea, the judge adjourned the case until February 6, 2025, for the commencement of trial.

The December 10 update for is all about buffing weapons by reducing recoil and idle sway, while also bumping up stats like headshot damage. "We have taken a comprehensive pass on weapon motion and applied reductions across the board to improve the combat experience," says the studio. "Depending on the class and weapon, our targets for these reductions range from 30% to 75%." The development team says that the most change can be felt when aiming down sight, with everything from turning and moving to firing weapons offering "far more stability" than before. Here are the weapon motion related changes in this update: Next, the idle sway mechanic has also been a target of change. This is the small shift in the sight that moves the reticle when aiming with weapons. This sway goes away after holding down the aim button for a few seconds for most weapon types. Here are the newest changes related to that: Most weapons, but full-auto primary weapons the most, are being buffed to deal more damage to heads as well, giving the community what it has been asking for since launch. Lastly, even melee strikes are being buffed, with swing times being improved across the board for faster kills. Find the complete patch notes, which details every weapon's changed stats, .
