The rise in connectivity was so rapid that by 2001, over a third of the population was online, and today, more than 95 per cent of us are connected. For many under 30, a world without the internet is unimaginable, and the concept of only using it occasionally on a spare room PC is alien to the smartphone generation. Billions worldwide now use the internet daily and would struggle to live without it. Rewinding to the start, it was just 30 years ago, in March 1992, when the UK's first commercial Internet Service Provider (ISP) launched. Back then, the internet was seen as a novelty for tech enthusiasts, with few understanding or feeling they needed it. Broadband arrived in the UK in 2000, causing usage to soar, but many households continued to use dial-up connections for some time. While the Internet had existed in some form for much longer, it wasn't until the World Wide Web launched and ISPs provided a service to connect to it, that home access became possible. Whether the term 'dial-up' conjures up feelings of nostalgia or is completely alien to you, there's no denying the charm in reminiscing about the early days of what has become one of the most transformative technologies in human history. Before the advent of the World Wide Web, the closest thing we had was Prestel, a service provided by the Post Office akin to Ceefax, which debuted in 1979 and gradually disappeared in the early '90s. However, the World Wide Web was set to be a far more significant entity. Zen Internet's founder and chairman, Richard Tang, commented: "The effects the Internet has had on our society are incalculable. We have a world of knowledge, entertainment and convenience at our fingertips, and that's not to mention the many businesses and innovation the Internet has helped foster." He added: "With so much reliance on the Internet today, it's hard to imagine there was once a view that it would ultimately amount to nothing. In fact, 96 per cent of UK households now have access, and while internet fads come and go, it's fair to say it's unlikely we'll be going back to using a CD on the front of a magazine to get online anytime soon." Richard reminisces about a time when pagers were the norm instead of smartphones and shares some of the quintessential experiences for anyone who went online during the 1990s, including those unforgettable dial-up tones. In stark contrast to today's world of video streaming, online gaming and Zoom calls, the early days of internet access were dominated by dial-up modems. These devices emitted a series of alien-like sounds as they established a connection. In an era when the online world was largely silent - primarily because anything larger than text and small images took an eternity to download - it is these distinctive chirps and whistles that many of us may remember, and probably do not miss. In the 90s, downloading a film would typically take about a month, so physical media reigned supreme. Blockbuster video stores were thriving, boasting over 500 stores across the UK at their peak. How many of us spent our Friday evenings scouring the shelves for something to watch, only to end up paying late fees because we forgot about a VHS left at home somewhere? Around this time, of course, came email, a tool we still use in a very similar form today. Like the internet more broadly, this technology had existed in other formats for some time before it was popularised for consumers, with the first email message thought to have been sent in 1971. There was a lot of scepticism, and some people needed convincing of the benefits of email over sending a fax, writing a letter or making a phone call. By the 1980s and 90s, email had become popular across business, government, and academic environments, before achieving mainstream status by the 2000s. An email account became something included with your home internet access, helping kick start the period of, depending on your generation, those embarrassing first attempts at usernames and email addresses that seemed fun or cool at the time. Many computers didn't even come with the software needed to get online. Internet providers had to supply new customers with a CD containing this instead. It's strange to think how many of us might have first got online thanks to a CD or even a floppy disk that came for free in the post or we found on the front of a computer magazine. Early internet users will remember using search engines like Alta Vista or WebCrawler, which dominated before Google launched in 1998. Many spent their time on forums, or Internet Relay Chat (IRC) interacting with others they could be called the earliest forms of social media. Before the reign of social media, for those of us in our youth, the internet was a magical realm where real-world limitations didn't apply. Websites were awash with vibrant colours, loud designs, GIFs and animated cursors, with platforms like Geocities and Myspace offering users the chance to carve out their own personalised web spaces. These were the precursors to today's online communities and the foundation of modern social media sites. As internet speeds and bandwidth expanded, digital audio became more viable. The dawn of the 2000s saw the introduction of devices like the iPod in 2001, followed by the iTunes Store in 2003. Suddenly, songs available for 99p meant many of us were abandoning our CDs and purchasing new music online, all thanks to our increasingly efficient connections. You might recall the hours spent transferring your physical music collection to iTunes, or waiting for your newly bought songs to sync to your iPod before leaving home. This paved the way for video streaming, online gaming and eventually, the always-connected, multi-device world we inhabit today. Back in the day, being online required dedication. With loading times that would be considered painfully slow today, and no possibility of staying connected throughout the day, dial-up was a different beast. Since it utilised the phone line, online time usually cost 1p per minute for a local rate call. You might recall the domestic disputes sparked by one person hogging the connection, preventing anyone else from using the phone simultaneously.Sebastian Mack made up for a pair of missed late free throws by converting a three-point play with 33 seconds remaining as No. 22 UCLA earned a 65-62 victory over No. 14 Gonzaga on Saturday in the West Coast Hoops Showdown at Inglewood, Calif. Eric Dailey Jr. led UCLA with 18 points and shot 4 of 5 from 3-point range. Kobe Johnson scored all 12 of his points on 4-of-6 shooting from beyond the arc for the Bruins and added eight rebounds. Skyy Clark scored 11 points for UCLA (11-2) with a game-high nine rebounds, while dishing out seven assists. Graham Ike led all scorers with 24 points on 11-of-16 shooting from the floor for Gonzaga (9-4) and snared eight rebounds. Ryan Nembhard finished with 16 points and eight assists for the Bulldogs. Tied 58-58 with 1:18 remaining, Mack drew a shooting foul on Gonzaga's Ike but missed both free throws. Ike's rebound led to Nembhard's go-ahead, pull-up jumper with 56 seconds to go as Gonzaga led 60-58. Mack earned a chance at redemption when he scored on a floater with contact from Emmanuel Innocenti. Mack's bonus foul shot put the Bruins ahead 61-60 to help make up for a rough 1-of-7 shooting afternoon. Clark made a pair of free throws after Dusty Stormer's missed 3-point attempt as UCLA grabbed a 63-60 lead with 13 seconds remaining. The Bruins needed the cushion, as Gonzaga executed a length-of-the-court play that sprung Nembhard for a streaking layup while he was fouled by Mack. But Nembhard missed the free throw that would have tied the game. Down by three in the closing seconds, Nembhard inexplicably took a shot from well beyond half court with four seconds still remaining that was off target. The victory was the Bruins' first over the Bulldogs since 2015, and the fourth game between the teams since the 2020-21 season that was decided by four points or fewer. Gonzaga lost guard Khalif Battle early in the first half when he was ejected for a flagrant foul call on a blocked-shot attempt against Dailey. Battle's ejection contributed to a rough opening for Gonzaga, which trailed by 11 before pulling within two points by halftime. Neither team led by more than six points over the final 17:12. --Field Level MediaLahaina survivor grateful to have a home for the holidays

Shedeur Sanders may be expecting a call from the New York Giants when the 2025 NFL Draft takes place this spring. Sanders revealed custom Giants cleats on Saturday night ahead of his final game with Colorado during the Alamo Bowl against BYU. Sanders mentioned the significance of his cleats earlier this week in a conversation with his brother, Shilo Sanders. "We know where we're going, baby...We know where we're going, baby," Shedeur Sanders said at about the 6:20 mark of the video below. "You'll see them in the cleats later on this week." When Shilo Sanders answered that he couldn't know where he was going because "the team might trade up," Shedeur Sanders answered, "You can't get higher than one." The Giants currently have the best shot at the No. 1 pick in the upcoming draft. This article will be updated soon to provide more information and analysis.

There was a pretty epic "situation" going down -- the cast of "Jersey Shore" reunited to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the iconic MTV series! Deena Nicole Cortese , Paul "Pauly D" Delvecchio , Jenni "JWOWW" Farley , Vinny Guadagnino , Ronnie Ortiz-Magro , Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi , Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino , and Sammi "Sweetheart" Giancola were all living it up at the 15th anniversary bash in Seaside Heights, New Jersey, on Tuesday. The cast didn’t miss a beat, rocking their finest luxe evening attire -- a far cry from the skimpy party gear they used to sport while tearing up the boardwalk during their heyday! Fashion aside, the crew was still all about their classic fist-pumping fun, but they've clearly swapped the chaos for a bit more class ... because things look a lot more chill. Of course, there was plenty to celebrate and reflect on -- "Jersey Shore" changed the reality TV game the moment it hit MTV, becoming an instant smash hit and the highest-rated series in network history. And let’s be real, a lot of its lingo is still going strong today. Happy Anniversary!South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol is facing impeachment by parliament after a series of shocking moves that saw him briefly declare martial law in the country for the first time in nearly 50 years. Philadelphia news 24/7: Watch NBC10 free wherever you are South Korea's main opposition party, the Democratic Party, along with others, submitted the articles of impeachment on Wednesday, responding to what the DPK leader called an "unconstitutional and illegal declaration of martial law." A motion for impeachment was reported to the National Assembly's plenary session Thursday in a parliamentary procedure that sets the stage for a full-house vote this week, according to local news . The DPK has a majority of control of the parliament, and along with members of other smaller opposition parties, it makes up 192 out of 300 seats . Thus, the coalition may only need eight outside votes to reach the two-thirds majority it would need to impeach the controversial leader. If Yoon's impeachment is passed by parliament it moves to South Korea's Constitutional Court, which must then rule on whether to confirm or reject the impeachment. The leader of Yoon's ruling People Power Party said Thursday that he plans to unite his party to block the motion to impeach. In emails sent to NBC News, Yoon's office has maintained that his call for martial law was constitutional. However, the office confirmed that his chief of staff and all senior presidential secretaries had already tendered their resignation. Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun also reportedly stepped down Thursday. Yoon plunged South Korea into six hours of turmoil from Tuesday night when he made a surprise declaration of martial law through a late-night TV address, mobilizing the country's military forces. In an address on the country's YTN news channel, he said he was making the move "to protect the constitutional order," accusing opposition parties of sympathizing with North Korea and controlling parliament. Following Yoon's announcement, a martial law proclamation stated that all political activities, including protests, strikes and the operations of the National Assembly, were prohibited. All media was also declared under Martial Law Command, with the country's striking doctors ordered to return to work within 48 hours. Yoon's address was met with immediate nationwide backlash from lawmakers, citizens and unions. Meanwhile, defiant members of parliament raced to the National Assembly building for delegation. With 190 of its 300 members present, Parliament quickly passed a resolution demanding that Yoon lift the martial law as protests erupted outside the building. Amid the mounting pressure, early on Wednesday, Yoon made yet another national television appearance where he walked back the martial law declaration. "I have accepted the decision made by the National Assembly to dissolve and lift the martial law," he said, though he urged the National Assembly to cease "repeated acts of impeachment, legislative manipulation and budgetary sabotage that paralyze the nation's functions." — NBC's Stella Kim and Jennifer Jett contributed to this report

Harden urges NBA fans to ‘cherish' Steph vs. LeBron battlesRetiring Democratic Minnesota Rep. Dean Phillips flayed his political party for lacking leadership and having a lopsided focus on political longevity and identity politics in a Saturday exit interview with Politico. Phillips — who until Saturday represented his state’s 3rd District — bared his frustrations in the interview . “Right now, we are totally devoid of leadership. We are rudderless. I don’t know which Democratic Party member my colleagues would point to as the leader, de facto leader, and absent that, I don’t see much, frankly, happening,” he told Politico. “I think it’s ironic that the Republican Party is now representing America’s working class,” he added. “It’s astounding, and that was ceded to them by people that have prioritized things like tenure over talent, identity politics over pragmatic problem solving.” Dem Rep. Dean Phillips is leaving Congress – and he has some parting words for his “rudderless” party. https://t.co/8RRboZKHUX — POLITICO (@politico) December 28, 2024 Democrats looking to win during the midterms in 2026 and the presidential elections in 2028 should find that it’s “not that hard” and “not rocket science,” Phillips told Politico. “It starts with listening, and it means getting out to places and spaces and people and communities that we’ve all but turned our back on. [...] It’s as simple as that, but it takes leadership,” he said. Phillips also told Politico that the emergence of House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries signaled a “generational change” from the leadership of House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi. Phillips delivered his farewell address Dec. 16, describing himself as an optimist whose mission “to restore commonsense and a home for the exhausted majority of center-left and center-right Americans is just beginning.” As I bid farewell to Congress today, I depart more deeply in love with my country and more deeply disgusted by the dysfunction of our government. We can and must do better, and my mission to awaken America’s exhausted majority and make common sense cool again is just beginning. pic.twitter.com/QQ3qcmGqEv — Dean Phillips (@deanbphillips) December 17, 2024 Phillips, opting back in 2023 not to seek reelection in 2024, ran an improbable campaign against President Joe Biden for the Democratic presidential ticket but ended his campaign in March 2024. Phillips was the first Democrat to call for Biden to step aside after Biden’s widely panned performance at the June 27 presidential debate, ABC News reported . He told the outlet that he called on Pelosi, late Democratic California Sen. Diane Feinstein, late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Biden to “pass the torch” as soon as he entered Congress in 2019. “I’ve been saying this for quite a while,” he added. (RELATED: Scott Jennings Says Biden Will ‘Leave Office In Disgrace’ After ‘Disastrous’ 4 Years In White House) Phillips’s criticism of his party echoed recent comments of fellow retiring lawmaker, Democratic New Hampshire Rep. Annie Kuster. “I think our party needs to reflect on how it felt to an entire generation of younger people that for a pretty long time, the face of our party has been octogenarians,” Kuster told the Washington, D.C.-based outlet Roll Call. Democratic-affiliated Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont also blamed Vice President Kamala Harris’s loss in the 2024 presidential election to Donald Trump on the Democratic Party’s abandonment of the working class. Phillips is a Gold Star son and a self-described “[c]ommon sense aficionado.” Rated one of the most bipartisan lawmakers, he worked with Texas Republican Chip Roy on the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act that then-President Trump signed into law to save small American businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic.

New Delhi, Dec 29 (PTI) ISRO is set to launch two satellites on Monday night from the Sriharikota spaceport to demonstrate docking and undocking of spacecraft in orbit, which will make India the fourth country in the world to achieve the feat. The Indian Space Research Organisation’s (ISRO) warhorse rocket Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) will place the two satellites — SDX01 and SDX02 — in a 476-km circular orbit and attempt the Space Docking Experiment (SpaDEx) in the first week of January, the space agency officials said. “This mission will mark India’s entry into the exclusive league of nations capable of mastering space docking,” Union Science and Technology Minister Jitendra Singh said. The SpaDEx mission is expected to be a stepping stone for India’s future endeavours in space exploration which include getting rocks and soil from the moon on Earth, the proposed Bharatiya Antariksha Station and landing an astronaut on the lunar surface. Only the US, Russia and China have mastered space docking technologies. “The primary objective of the SpaDeX mission is to develop and demonstrate the technology needed for rendezvous, docking, and undocking of two small spacecraft (SDX01, which is the Chaser, and SDX02, the Target) in a low-Earth circular orbit,” an ISRO official said. The secondary objective of the mission includes demonstration of the transfer of electric power between the docked spacecraft, which is essential for future applications such as in-space robotics; composite spacecraft control and payload operations after undocking. “This capability is vital for India’s lunar and interplanetary missions. Docking technology enables multi-launch missions and supports future human spaceflight,” Singh said. After the demonstration of docking and undocking experiments, the two satellites will continue to orbit the Earth for standalone missions for two years. The SDX01 satellite is equipped with a High Resolution Camera (HRC) and SDX02 has two payloads — Miniature Multispectral (MMX) payload and Radiation Monitor (RadMon). These payloads will provide high-resolution images, natural resource monitoring, vegetation studies and on-orbit radiation environment measurements which have numerous applications, ISRO said. The PSLV-C60 mission also carries 24 payloads from various ISRO labs, private start-ups and educational institutions for carrying out experiments in space. These 24 payloads are mounted on the fourth stage of the PSLV rocket which remains in orbit for a few weeks before falling back on the Earth. PS4-Orbital Experiment Module (POEM) provides an opportunity for the scientific community to carry out certain in-orbit microgravity experiments for an extended duration of up to three months using the platform, which otherwise would end up as space debris immediately after the mission objective of injecting the primary payloads of the mission.

The police identified the militant as Javed Munshi , who was arrested on Saturday. Munshi had reportedly arrived in the Canning area a few days earlier, intending to exfiltrate into Bangladesh under instructions from Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operatives, the police stated. Javed Munshi, an expert in IEDs and weapons handling, is affiliated with the banned terrorist organisation Tehreek-ul-Mujahideen (TuM). He has a history of involvement in terror-related activities , including his alleged role in the 2011 murder of Shaukat Shah, a leader of the Ahl-i-Hadith, and has served multiple jail terms on terrorism-related charges. During preliminary interrogation, Munshi admitted to having visited Bangladesh, Nepal, and Pakistan multiple times using fake Pakistpassports, acting on the instructions of his handlers.

Many wonder what Trump’s win means for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). To me, it simply confirmed what I already knew: The fight against discrimination is far from over, and DEI has to evolve for us to meet the challenges to workplace culture ahead. Employers are entering an unprecedented age of instability. Trump’s previous policies, and the plans laid out in Project 2025, give us a preview of what’s in store. The incoming administration will likely ban DEI language and training in the federal government while undermining the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s ability to enforce civil rights protections and track minority employment. It will likely try to revoke protections for LGBTQ employees and implement religious exemptions to antidiscrimination laws. Mass deportation, workplace raids, and denaturalization targeting Black and Brown employees could go into effect, while H1-B visas tighten. At the same time, employers need to grapple with other threats to workplace culture, employee morale, and productivity—including climate disruption, political polarization, and declining mental health . Amid these challenges, DEI is ripe for reinvention. Organizations will need new strategies for creating stable environments, supporting their employees, and maintaining strong cultures. | Recalibrate an important set of tools DEI has been easy to attack partly because there’s little agreement on what it actually is. DEI has become a Rorschach test, viewed through the lens of each person’s priorities and fears. It’s useful to think of DEI as a set of tools designed to achieve clear outcomes: reducing discrimination, mitigating its harmful effects, and creating a workplace culture that set employees up to succeed. By focusing on the intersection of data and culture, leaders can develop new approaches for achieving these goals. They might start by considering these six factors. Consider legal implications Organizations reversing DEI policies under pressure from lawsuits claiming reverse discrimination would be well-advised to consider the risks of incurring lawsuits over “traditional” discrimination based on race, gender, ethnicity, age, or sexual orientation. While reverse racism claims may capture headlines, traditional discrimination lawsuits are actually on the rise . State-based differences in labor laws are likely to become more extreme as regulatory responsibility shifts toward states. More progressive states may pass new pro-worker legislation, and less progressive states may become increasingly antiunion and anti-worker. Employers with a national presence will have an even harder time navigating these differences and ensuring that organizational policies are fair across the country. Organizations should consider how their DEI programs impacted allegations of discrimination—and otherwise enriched the workplace culture. Then they can consider how they might achieve the same results by other means. Measure whether culture brings out the best in workers Employees who consider their workplace culture “good” or “excellent” are nearly eight times more likely to feel satisfied at work, and 85% less likely to be actively looking for a new job, than those who say the culture is “poor” or “terrible.” But even within the same company, people can have vastly different experiences. Is your workplace culture resilient? Are fairness and equity embedded in your values? Do certain demographic groups respond differently to aspects of the company culture? Do metrics around employee engagement, satisfaction, and retention look different for women versus men; people of color versus those who are white; or between employees assigned to different team leaders? If so, that’s worth examining. Take stock of the dynamic between employees and managers If you have a toxic dynamic with your boss, it doesn’t matter how robust your cultural programming is. One study found that nearly a third of workers in the U.K. left jobs because of a negative relationship with their managers. Are you preparing your managers to navigate this newly volatile environment? Are you giving them the tools and training to create a positive, psychologically safe workplace culture that enables healthy communication ? Are training programs aligned with your organization’s values and mission? Are accountability mechanisms in place when cultural issues arise? Be perceived as a place of opportunity Today’s employees want to grow and thrive within an organization. And that means everyone . As antidiscrimination protections weaken, employees from historically marginalized groups will become more risk-averse. They will be looking for and staying with employers that value them. Across the U.S., Black women earn only 63.7 cents for every dollar earned by white men. Since 2022, promotion rates for Black employees have fallen . If your pay scale or C-suite reflects such disparities, chances are you’re not broadly perceived as a place where all talent can thrive. It’s also wise to audit your promotions practices regularly. If there are disproportionate levels of turnover within certain demographic groups or in certain corners of the organization, this merits immediate attention. Leverage all available talent pools Under the next administration, hiring programs may face even more scrutiny. Organizations that have eliminated internships or job slots targeting talent from underrepresented groups will need to find creative ways to broaden the candidate pool. A skills-based approach to hiring—in which employees are selected for their capabilities and potential, rather than their degrees or credentials—can broaden and diversify the talent pool . Moreover, a growing body of research shows that skills-based hiring is more predictive of job performance than hiring based on education or work experience. As you broaden your approach to talent, make sure changes to your hiring process don’t introduce new biases that undermine your efforts. Without targeted programming, it’s even more important to mitigate your legal risks through diverse sourcing methods, interviewer training, regular audits, and new hire feedback. DEI, by another name Regardless of who’s president, you’d be hard-pressed to find a successful leader who’s comfortable presiding over a homogeneous workforce with a low-trust culture—where certain employees feel marginalized, workers are out of touch with customers, and growth is stifled by a shortage of talent. It’s just not good for business. DEI has been one set of tools for solving these problems. But language is also a tool, and the language of DEI may no longer be serving us. So let’s find new ways to talk about the outcomes we want—and new approaches to ensuring that our evolving workplaces work for everyone.An off-road vehicle was seized by police.
