PITTSBURGH (AP) — Penguins captain Sidney Crosby is alone at the top. Crosby broke Mario Lemieux's franchise record for most assists in team history during a 3-2 win against the New York Islanders on Sunday. “I want to congratulate Sid on setting the team's assist record,” Lemieux said in a statement released by the team. “He's an amazing player and we're so fortunate to have him in Pittsburgh. I look forward to even more great things from him.” Crosby was behind the net in the second period when he sent a backhand feed to Michael Bunting, who buried a power-play goal behind Marcus Hogberg at 1:36, putting the Penguins ahead 2-0. After the goal was announced, play briefly stopped as Crosby received a standing ovation and waved his glove to acknowledge the hometown crowd. “As the years go on, I think you appreciate those kinds of things a little bit more,” said Crosby, who said he plans to give the puck to his father. “It's not why you play by any means, but to get (the record) and to get that kind of reception, it means a lot.” Crosby now has 1,034 assists, good for 12th in NHL history. Only three players — Ray Bourque, Wayne Gretzky and Steve Yzerman — have more assists with a single team. The 37-year-old Crosby has played 1,310 regular-season games. Lemieux played 915. “I have a lot of appreciation for what the guys have done on that list, especially Mario and what he means to the city and the organization,” Crosby said. “All the guys who have played prior to me, it's just really nice to be part of that company.” Crosby scored a goal and added three assists to tie the record during a 7-3 home win Monday against Philadelphia. Crosby thought he broke the mark during a road loss on Saturday against the Islanders, but the assist was taken away. “It was a little weird the way it went down,” Crosby admitted. Lemieux, who finished his Hall of Fame career with 1,723 points, led Pittsburgh to its first two Stanley Cups in 1991 and 1992 as a player. Lemieux owned the team when Crosby captioned the Penguins to championships in 2009, 2016 and 2017. “The accomplishment, the milestone he's reached, this is just one more,” Penguins coach Mike Sullivan said. “It's more evidence of an amazing career. He's one of the best players to ever play.” AP NHL: https://apnews.com/hub/nhlSilver One Resources Inc.

Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek recently announced she is implementing measures to counteract Trump's proposed policies, including those targeting undocumented immigrants . Kotek said she would not "stand idly" as civil liberties, abortion access, and other priorities come "under attack from national partisan politics." The governor recently announced to have secured a four-year supply of mifepristone, a drug vital for abortion care. Concerning undocumented immigrants, she promised her team would "do what is legal, what is strategic" to ensure their protection in Oregon. "They are integral to our state, and I have always been a strong advocate for defending our immigrants," she said, adding that she is also consulting with governors who navigated Trump's first term. Democratic Leaders Rally Nationwide An increasing number of Democratic state leaders have expressed opposition to Trump's agenda, committing to safeguarding undocumented communities, abortion care, and LGBTQ rights within their states. One of the more contentious positions is their approach to immigration policies, as Trump has pledged to withhold federal funding from jurisdictions that limit local cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. California In California — home to the largest immigrant population in the country — Gov. Gavin Newsom recently convened a special legislative session to "Trump-proof" the state from anticipated attacks on immigration, abortion, and federal disaster aid, among other issues. Trump reacted to Gavin's special session with a fiery response over his Truth Social account. "Governor Gavin Newscum is trying to KILL our Nation's beautiful California," Trump wrote. "He is using the term 'Trump-Proof' as a way of stopping all of the GREAT things that can be done to 'Make California Great Again.'" Illinois State leaders in Illinois — including Gov. J.B. Pritzker, who recently labeled Trump's immigration plans "unconstitutional" — have also vowed to defend undocumented immigrants, maintain abortion access, and protect LGBTQ rights. A coalition of immigration advocates in Chicago recently launched a "know your rights" campaign to prepare undocumented immigrants for potential federal immigration raids in the city. Massachusetts When asked if state police would cooperate with ICE, Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healy said, "No. Absolutely not." The Democrat has also promised to use "every tool in the toolbox" to "defend our citizens, safeguard our residents, and protect our states while upholding democracy and the rule of law as fundamental principles." Responding to Opposition Responding to the growing number of Democratic leaders pledging to protect undocumented residents in their states, Trump's returning border czar, Thomas Homan, told Fox News that deportations would proceed regardless. "If I've got to send twice the amount of resources to that city, that's what I'm going to do," he warned, adding that city officials would "hurt themselves" by resisting cooperation, as their opposition would lead to a greater deployment of ICE agents in their communities. Homan also rebuked Democrats opposing his deportation plans, accusing them of failing to remove "public safety threats" from their communities. "That is your number-one responsibility, so smarten up and work with us," he said. Trump's 2024 Agenda While Trump vowed during his campaign to allow states to determine abortion rights, the Republican leader's stance on deportations is unmistakable. Immigration advocates are bracing for a return of some of the nation's harshest immigration policies, including travel bans, workplace raids, and other zero-tolerance practices. Political observers predict Trump's second-term policies will be more aggressive, as Republicans currently control the three branches of government. While critics question Trump's ability to execute the "largest deportation in U.S. history," the Republican has claimed funding will not be an obstacle. Trump recently disclosed plans to declare a state of emergency to utilize military assets. He also intends to establish mass detention camps to expedite deportations and deputize National Guard troops and local police to bolster manpower.

On December 23, the Midway actor finally shared his stance in support of his It Ends With Us co-star Blake Lively. In an Instagram story, the 34-year-old actor posted a link to a New York Times article detailing the 37-year-old actress' legal complaint against Justin Baldoni, and added, "For the love of God, read this." To further show his support for his co-star, he tagged her social media account and added a heart emoji next to it. Among many stars standing by the Gossip Girl star and showing their support, Brandon is joined by - the author of the book herself - Colleen Hoover, Amber Heard, Jenny Slate, Paul Feig, and her Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants castmates. On December 21, Colleen took to her Instagram and expressed, "You have been nothing but honest, kind, supportive and patient since the day we met." "Thank you for being exactly the human that you are. Never change. Never wilt." Justin has denied all the allegations made against him through his lawyer Bryan Freedman in a December 21 statement to The New York Times. His lawyers called the claims "categorically false" and "yet another desperate attempt to 'fix' her negative reputation which was garnered from her own remarks and actions during the campaign for the film."

LONDON -- stepped up their pursuit of leaders by sealing a 2-0 win against at the Emirates on Wednesday, once again highlighting their peerless ability to score from set pieces. Second-half goals from and , both from corners, clinched a comfortable win for the Gunners that left United coach Ruben Amorim with his first defeat since taking charge at Old Trafford last month. With Liverpool dropping two points after being held to a dramatic 3-3 draw against Newcastle at St. James' Park, Arsenal reduced the gap between themselves and Arne Slot's team to seven points with the win against United. First defeat for Amorim, but Man United show progress Amorim warned that a "storm will come" ahead of Manchester United's visit to Arsenal. The new United coach arrived at the Emirates unbeaten in three games since arriving at the club last month, but the defeat against Arsenal ended that unblemished start. Amorim said he expected United to endure a difficult period and that might now come considering a run of games that sees his side play , Tottenham and Newcastle before the end of the month. But, while United were well-beaten in the end by the Gunners, there was enough shown by the players to suggest that Amorim's influence is beginning to have an effect. For a start, United played with purpose for much of this game and had a clear plan of what was expected of them. Amorim and his coaches have clearly drilled the players on the training ground and the back three looks convincing and in midfield, captain looks like he could be a solution in a deeper-lying role. brought energy and tactical awareness to his position further forward and 's appearance as a second-half substitute was the French teenager's first competitive game since his summer arrival from following a lengthy foot injury lay-off. The manner of United's defeat -- two goals conceded from two corners -- and the way his team ran out of steam late in the game will be a concern, however. Amorim has already cited the need to improve the squad's physical condition and that is a job that is still to be done. But there are signs of progress. Amorim is giving all his players a chance to make or break their United careers and he is seeing them win and now lose, which will help him learn more about their capabilities. By the time United return to the Emirates for an FA Cup third round tie in January, expect them to be better still and more likely to emerge with a positive result. Arsenal cut into Liverpool's lead Gunners manager Mikel Arteta last week warned Liverpool that a big lead at the top of the table is no guarantee of anything, suggesting that "suddenly when you think you have it, one day it collapses." A 3-3 draw at Newcastle does not constitute a collapse by Liverpool but it did present an opportunity for the chasing pack to chip away at their nine-point lead. and Manchester City did so in the slightly earlier kick-offs with wins against and respectively, ramping up the pressure on the Gunners to follow suit. They were just wrapping up those victories around the time Timber opened the scoring at Emirates Stadium on 54 minutes, settling palpable nerves in the stands after a first-half in which United did a good job of stifling their opponents. Arsenal held their nerve despite an opening 45 minutes in which they never really got going and Arteta will be pleased with the maturity his team showed in maintaining their composure and finding the breakthrough. From the moment they took the lead, United never seriously threatened aside from Matthijs De Ligt's 67th-minute header and, after Saliba's goal six minutes later, the Gunners were left to close a relatively comfortable win, which will fuel their self-belief that Liverpool can be caught. A winnable run of league games until the New Year awaits: away, at home, away and Ipswich at home. Maximum points would put Liverpool under further pressure. Amorim gives Man United energy from the touchline The new Manchester United head coach is a bundle of energy on the touchline, and his passion and drive is rubbing off on his new team. Erik ten Hag's successor was constantly coaching, cajoling and berating his players from the technical area, with left-back pretty much given a personal one-on-one coaching session as he attempted to deal with Arsenal's during the first-half. Amorim was organising his players, telling them to be more compact as a defensive unit and also urging them to hit Arsenal quicker on the break. His frustration, too, was evident whenever an attacking move broke down because his forwards -- usually -- cut back and failed to be more direct. There are shades of Jurgen Klopp in Amorim's actions on the touchline, although he has yet to be quite as critical of the officials as the former Liverpool manager. But compared to Ten Hag, who often stood motionless on the touchline with his hands in his pockets, Amorim is a much livelier character and his players feed off it because they know they have to step it up to impress their new boss. No Gabriel, no problem from set-pieces for Arsenal When made an embarrassing hash of a close-range near-post header in the eighth minute, it was tempting to speculate how much Arsenal would miss their biggest threat from set-pieces. They scored 32 Premier League goals from dead-ball situations last season -- a league high -- and from corners the figure is even starker. No Premier League team has scored more goals from corners since the start of last season than Arsenal's 22 and in the past three years, no defender has netted more than Gabriel's 15. As a reminder of the Brazilian's enduring threat, he scored in Arsenal's previous two matches before missing out here with a thigh injury -- against in the Champions League last week and then the opening goal in Saturday's 5-2 thrashing of West Ham. Instrumental in that corner routine at the London Stadium was Timber, whose gentle near-post nudge on enabled Gabriel to meet Bukayo Saka's delivery. This time, Timber got the telling touch himself from 's corner to score his first goal for the Gunners. They were at it again in the 73rd-minute. Saka's delivery to the far post found Partey unmarked and this time his header back across goal hit Saliba and flew in. Arteta celebrated both goals with Arsenal's set-piece coach Nicolas Jover -- it is a familiar sight these days and Arsenal's unparalleled potency from dead-ball situations decided another contest in their favour.Ducks get early Christmas present with return of mighty defenseman
NEW YORK — Donald Trump’s attorneys have asked the judge who presided over his criminal hush money case to dismiss the indictment and vacate the jury’s guilty verdicts — arguing their client is a victim of the same “raw politics” President Joe Biden cited in pardoning his son, Hunter, according to filings made public Tuesday. “President Biden argued that ‘raw politics has infected this process and it led to a miscarriage of justice,'” Trump lawyers Todd Blanche and Emil Bove wrote in the lengthy and politically charged filing, referring to Biden’s weekend statement announcing a 10-year pardon for his son. “Since DA Bragg took office, he has engaged in ‘precisely the type of political theater’ that President Biden condemned.” Later arguing that the case threatens “the functioning of the federal government,” Bove and Blanche, whom Trump has tapped for top roles at the Department of Justice , contended that state Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan was required to throw it out based on the Presidential Immunity doctrine, the Presidential Transition Act, and the Supremacy Clause, arguing not doing so would impact Trump’s ability to govern. His election victory means the case must be tossed for the good of the country and that “potential incarceration, stigma, and diversions of attention” necessitate “categorical immunity,” Blanche and Bove wrote. “As President Biden put it yesterday, ‘Enough is enough,'” Blanche and Bove. “This case, which should never have been brought, must now be dismissed.” The DA’s office, which declined to comment, is due to respond by Dec. 9. Prosecutors have said they plan to fight Trump’s efforts to get the case thrown out but have conceded the judge may need to postpone sentencing until Trump is out of office. Trump’s lawyers pushed back on the suggestion, writing that prosecutors’ “ridiculous suggestion that they could simply resume proceedings after President Trump leaves Office, more than a decade after they commenced their investigation in 2018, is not an option.” A jury of 12 Manhattan residents found Trump, 78, guilty of 34 counts of falsification of business records on May 30 , stemming from his reimbursement to his ex-fixer Michael Cohen for paying off porn star Stormy Daniels on the eve of the 2016 election. The verdicts marked him as the first U.S. president to be found guilty of committing a crime. The jury found Cohen’s $130,000 payment to Daniels bought her silence about an alleged sexual encounter with Trump at a 2006 golf tournament. They determined the payoff was one in a scheme carried out before the election intended to bury unflattering information about Trump’s past that could negatively impact his standing with voters. It also encompassed payoffs to former Playboy model Karen McDougal, who alleges she had an affair with Trump, and a doorman at Trump Tower who claimed Trump had fathered a child with a maid out of wedlock. Last month, Merchan adjourned Trump’s sentencing indefinitely and drew up a new schedule to consider arguments about how to proceed in light of his election win. The historic case was the only one of four brought against Trump after his first term that made it before a jury. The Department of Justice last week sought to drop the two federal cases he faced, alleging he plotted to subvert democracy after Biden’s election victory in 2020 and hoarded sensitive classified documents after leaving office, which Blanche and Bove noted in Tuesday’s filing. Trump is fighting to get the Georgia state case against him thrown out, where a potential conviction could not be pardoned on the federal level. That case has been tied up significantly with appeals, and legal experts say it’s unlikely to see a revival before Trump takes office. ©2024 New York Daily News. Visit at nydailynews.com .

Ghassan Charbel From faraway Moscow, he looks into Damascus — the city whose keys and destinies of its people he once held. It is only natural that he rubs his eyes in disbelief. The scene is difficult to comprehend, let alone endure. He knows this place line by line. It is the chair his father sat on 54 years ago. The same chair he himself came to occupy 24 years ago. A chair whose occupant vowed it would forever remain synonymous with the Assad name and legacy. But history has a way of turning against its makers when they gamble recklessly, and when their machinery of oppression indulges excessively in cruelty. How bitter it is to lose the palace, its seals, and its symbols of authority. To watch people rip statues and tear down images. Neither the czar nor the supreme leader intervened to challenge destiny. No ally rushed to rescue him, and he could not save himself. What a devastating scene for the distant observer: Syria without Assad, without Iran, without Hezbollah. Time has completed its full circle. He knows this place line by line. This is Hafez Al-Assad’s chair, and after him, Bashar Assad’s. Now it is occupied by the person who is described today as “the strong man.” A man who has shed the cloak of “Abu Mohammed Al-Golani,” donned the suit of Ahmad Al-Sharaa, and has begun distributing reassurances and guarantees. What makes the scene even more striking is the name of the visitor: Walid Jumblatt. The son of Kamal Jumblatt. The companion of Rafik Hariri. The bearer of two coffins and the wounds of two Assads. When Jumblatt shook hands with Al-Sharaa, an entire era on the Beirut-Damascus axis came to an end. For half a century, presidencies and leaderships were shaped along the Beirut-Damascus route. The Damascus political factory produced ministers, parliamentarians, and generals for Lebanon. The prestige of the Lebanese presidency, government, and parliament faded, as the Syrian officer stationed in Anjar held the reins of the lost republic and managed relations between its fractured components. But Walid Jumblatt’s story is different. The leadership of his family spans four centuries, and it defies submission. Kamal Jumblatt refused to recognize Hafez Al-Assad’s claim to control Lebanon’s destiny, subjugate it, and recalibrate its political balances. His presence became an obstacle to the ability of Assad Sr. to exercise the mandate he had been granted regionally and internationally to stabilize the turbulent small country. Jumblatt told Mohsen Ibrahim: “I know my fate and will not avoid it. I do not want history to record that I signed Lebanon’s entry into the great prison.” The bullets came swiftly. In March 1977, they pierced Kamal Jumblatt in his mountainous stronghold, and fate summoned his son Walid to don the mantle of leadership. The young man, a lover of life and its bustle, managed to temper his anger and prevent his supporters from seeking vengeance. About 40 days after the assassination, he entered Assad’s office, where the Syrian leader noted the striking resemblance between father and son. Walid opted not to drag his sect into a confrontation it could not endure. Preserving its historical existence became his overriding priority. He buried his wound, pretended to forget, but never truly did. His relationship with Assad Sr. evolved into an alliance during the “Mountain War” in 1983. Later, Assad tolerated Jumblatt’s unpredictable moods whenever he sought to assert independence, protest, or diverge. Walid Jumblatt’s relationship with Bashar Assad was marked by suspicion and caution, overshadowed by the legacy of Rafik Hariri. Unlike his father, Walid did not recognize Bashar’s authority to control Lebanon. Neither did Hariri. As Hariri would later put it: “I tried to be Bashar’s friend, but he refused. Walid tried too, and the result was the same. From the start, Bashar trusted the whisperers and those who wrote reports.” Hariri’s assassination in 2005 became a dangerous turning point in Jumblatt’s relationship with Assad’s Syria. Jumblatt took the lead and went far. From Martyrs’ Square in Beirut, he struck at Assad’s image and launched sharp criticisms using the harshest terms. Jumblatt dances with storms. He charges, retreats, and lies in wait. He exaggerates, apologizes, and recalibrates. He quiets himself, observes the winds, and then resumes his strikes. His veins burned when his mother shared with him a Chinese proverb that advises the wounded: “Sit by the riverbank and wait for your enemy’s corpse to pass.” Jumblatt sat and waited for a long time. He retraced the Beirut-Damascus path after Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah managed to subdue Assad’s opponents for a few years. Yet, no amount of reconciliation and rapprochement could heal what was in the heart. After the Syrian revolution erupted, Jumblatt visited Assad’s office and advised him to prosecute the killers of Hamza Al-Khatib, the boy who became a symbol of the revolution. Assad’s response only deepened Jumblatt’s despair. His distance from the regime widened further after he heard a chilling warning from former Syrian army chief Hikmat Al-Shihabi: “This boy will lead Syria into civil war and division.” Even after Russia and Iran succeeded in salvaging Assad’s regime, Jumblatt resolved to “stand on the right side of history,” permanently closing the chapter on meetings with Assad, no matter the cost. Assad’s absence brought Jumblatt back to the Beirut-Damascus road. Leading a delegation of lawmakers, party members, and clerics, he expressed his hopes for a united, stable Syria that respects diversity and accommodates all its components, including the Kurds, under the rule of law. The composition of the delegation reflected Jumblatt’s enduring concern for safeguarding the Druze community’s place within the Arab and Islamic context, particularly in light of recent moves by Benjamin Netanyahu. Jumblatt hopes for normal relations between Lebanon and a new Syria, with meaningful cooperation on issues such as refugees, missing persons, border demarcation, and resolving the Shebaa Farms dispute. The neighbors woke up to a new Syria. Iraq grappled with the implications and potential consequences. Jordan was similarly preoccupied. Questions abounded in Lebanon, especially among those concerned about the severing of the “Soleimani route” between Tehran and Beirut. Israel responded with overwhelming aggression. Only Turkiye appeared unfazed, having played a role in shaping the new reality. Meanwhile, the West began probing the intentions of the man now seated in Assad’s chair. Can Al-Sharaa dispel fears and anxieties both inside and outside Syria? Only time will tell. Al-Sharaa shook hands with the bearer of two coffins and the wounds of the two Assads. A whole era waved farewell and slipped into history. Courtesy: arabnews

WASHINGTON — A top White House official said Wednesday at least eight U.S. telecom firms and dozens of nations were impacted by a Chinese hacking campaign. Deputy national security adviser Anne Neuberger offered new details about the breadth of the sprawling Chinese hacking campaign that gave officials in Beijing access to private texts and phone conversations of an unknown number of Americans.

(AP Photo/Kiichiro Sato, File) Neuberger divulged the scope of the hack a day after the FBI and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency issued guidance intended to help root out the hackers and prevent similar cyberespionage in the future. White House officials cautioned that the number of telecommunication firms and countries impacted could grow. The U.S. believes the hackers were able to gain access to communications of senior U.S. government officials and prominent political figures through the hack, Neuberger said. “We don’t believe any classified communications has been compromised,” Neuberger added during a call with reporters. She added that Biden was briefed on the findings and the White House “made it a priority for the federal government to do everything it can to get to the bottom this.” US officials recommend encrypted messaging apps amid "Salt Typhoon" cyberattack, attributed to China, targeting AT&T, Verizon, and others. The Chinese embassy in Washington rejected the accusations that it was responsible for the hack Tuesday after the U.S. federal authorities issued new guidance. “The U.S. needs to stop its own cyberattacks against other countries and refrain from using cyber security to smear and slander China,” embassy spokesperson Liu Pengyu said. The embassy did not immediately respond to messages Wednesday. White House officials believe the hacking was regionally targeted and the focus was on very senior government officials. Federal authorities confirmed in October that hackers linked to China targeted the phones of then-presidential candidate Donald Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance, along with people associated with Democratic candidate Vice President Kamala Harris. The number of countries impacted by the hack is currently believed to be in the “low, couple dozen,” according to a senior administration official. The official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity under rules set by the White House, said they believed the hacks started at least a year or two ago. The suggestions for telecom companies released Tuesday are largely technical in nature, urging encryption, centralization and consistent monitoring to deter cyber intrusions. If implemented, the security precautions could help disrupt the operation, dubbed Salt Typhoon, and make it harder for China or any other nation to mount a similar attack in the future, experts say. Trump's pick to head the Federal Bureau of Investigation Kash Patel was allegedly the target of cyberattack attempt by Iranian-backed hackers. Neuberger pointed to efforts made to beef up cybersecurity in the rail, aviation, energy and other sectors following the May 2021 ransomware attack on Colonial Pipeline . “So, to prevent ongoing Salt Typhoon type intrusions by China, we believe we need to apply a similar minimum cybersecurity practice,” Neuberger said. The cyberattack by a gang of criminal hackers on the critical U.S. pipeline, which delivers about 45% of the fuel used along the Eastern Seaboard, sent ripple effects across the economy, highlighting cybersecurity vulnerabilities in the nation’s aging energy infrastructure. Colonial confirmed it paid $4.4 million to the gang of hackers who broke into its computer systems as it scrambled to get the nation's fuel pipeline back online. Picture this: You're on vacation in a city abroad, exploring museums, tasting the local cuisine, and people-watching at cafés. Everything is going perfectly until you get a series of alerts on your phone. Someone is making fraudulent charges using your credit card, sending you into a panic. How could this have happened? Cyberattacks targeting travelers are nothing new. But as travel has increased in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, so has the volume of hackers and cybercriminals preying upon tourists. Financial fraud is the most common form of cybercrime experienced by travelers, but surveillance via public Wi-Fi networks, social media hacking, and phishing scams are also common, according to a survey by ExpressVPN . Spokeo consulted cybersecurity sources and travel guides to determine some of the best ways to protect your phone while traveling, from using a VPN to managing secure passwords. Online attacks are not the only type of crime impacting travelers—physical theft of phones is also a threat. Phones have become such invaluable travel aids, housing our navigation tools, digital wallets, itineraries, and contacts, that having your phone stolen, lost, or compromised while abroad can be devastating. Meanwhile, traveling can make people uniquely vulnerable to both cyber and physical attacks due to common pitfalls like oversharing on social media and letting your guard down when it comes to taking risks online. Luckily, there are numerous precautions travelers can take to safeguard against cyberattacks and phone theft. Hackers can—and do—target public Wi-Fi networks at cafés and hotels to gain access to your personal information or install malware onto your device, particularly on unsecured networks. Travelers are especially vulnerable to these types of cybersecurity breaches because they are often more reliant on public Wi-Fi than they would be in their home countries where they have more robust phone plans. This reliance on public, unsecured networks means travelers are more likely to use those networks to perform sensitive tasks like financial transfers, meaning hackers can easily gain access to banking information or other passwords. One easy way to safeguard yourself against these breaches is to use a virtual private network, or VPN, while traveling. VPNs are apps that encrypt your data and hide your location, preventing hackers from accessing personal information. An added bonus is that VPNs allow you to access websites that may be blocked or unavailable in the country you are visiting. To use a VPN, simply download a VPN app on your phone or computer, create an account, choose a server, and connect. Pickpockets, scammers, and flagrant, snatch-your-phone-right-out-of-your-hand thieves can be found pretty much everywhere. In London, for instance, a staggering 91,000 phones were reported stolen to police in 2022 , breaking down to an average of 248 per day, according to the BBC. Whether you're visiting a crowded tourist attraction or just want peace of mind, travel experts advise taking precautions to make sure your phone isn't physically stolen or compromised while traveling. There are several antitheft options to choose from. If you want a bag that will protect your phone from theft, experts recommend looking for features like slash-resistant fabric, reinforced shoulder straps, hidden zippers that can be locked, and secure attachment points, like a cross-body strap or a sturdy clip. For tethers, look for those made of tear-resistant material with a reinforced clip or ring. If your phone falls into the wrong hands, there's a good chance you won't be getting it back. Out of those 91,000 phones stolen in London in 2022, only 1,915 (or about 2%) were recovered. The good news is that you can take precautions to make the loss of your phone less devastating by backing up your data before you travel. With backed-up data, you can acquire a new device and still access your photos, contacts, messages, and passwords. Moreover, if you have "Find My Device" or "Find My Phone" enabled, you can remotely wipe your stolen phone's data so the thief cannot access it. It's safest to back up your data to a hard drive and not just the cloud. That way, if you have to wipe your device, you don't accidentally erase the backup, too. In order for the previous tip on this list to work, "Find My Phone" must be turned on in advance, but remotely wiping your device isn't the only thing this feature allows you to do. The "Find My Phone" feature enables you to track your device, as long as it's turned on and not in airplane mode. This is particularly helpful if you misplaced your phone or left it somewhere since it can help you retrace your steps. While this feature won't show you the live location of a phone that has been turned off, it will show the phone's last known location. With "Find My Phone," you can also remotely lock your phone or enable "Lost Mode," which locks down the phone, suspends any in-phone payment methods, and displays contact information for returning the phone to you. If your phone was stolen, experts caution against taking matters into your own hands by chasing down the thief, since this could land you in a potentially dangerous situation and is unlikely to result in getting your phone back. Strong passwords for important accounts help protect your information while you travel, but it's just a first step. The National Cybersecurity Alliance recommends creating long, unique, and complex passwords for every account and combining them with multifactor authentication to create maximum barriers to entry. If you're worried about remembering these passwords, password managers can be a vital tool for both creating and storing strong passwords. Password managers are apps that act as secure vaults for all your passwords. Some even come with a feature that allows you to temporarily delete sensitive passwords before you travel and then easily restore them once you return. Story editing by Mia Nakaji Monnier.

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Celta Vigo gave 10-man Barcelona a shock by scoring two late goals and snatching a 2-2 draw at home in the Spanish league on Saturday. Barcelona was minutes away from a win to pad its league lead after Raphinha and Lewandowski had put Barcelona ahead. But the game dramatically swung after Barcelona defensive midfielder Marc Casadó was sent off with a second booking in the 81st. Moments later Jules Koundé’s poor control of a ball in his area allowed Alfon González to pick his pocket and give the hosts hope in the 84th minute. Celta poured forward at Balaidos Stadium and Hugo Álvarez rifled in the 86th-minute equalizer with Barcelona unable to mark the extra man. Barcelona coach Hansi Flick, however, said that he saw it coming since his team had never been able to establish its passing game and was making mistakes even when up 2-0. “It was not only the 10 last minutes, it was the whole match. We played today a really bad game,” Flick said. “The passing game for us was bad. We made a lot of mistakes and at the end we had no confidence with the ball.” This was Barcelona's second straight stumble since Lamine Yamal was sidelined with a right-ankle injury. Barcelona lost 1-0 at Real Sociedad without Yamal before the international break. Barcelona is seven points ahead of third-place Real Madrid, which has played two fewer games. Koundé accepted the blame for what he called his “gross mistake” that helped give Celta hope. “We didn’t do what we needed to all game, and at the end they made us pay,” Koundé said. “It starts with me. I can’t lose my focus like that. It was a gross mistake that can’t happen. I accept that it was my fault.” The late rally by Celta came after Raphinha had led Barcelona as he filled in for Yamal on the right side of the front three. Raphinha opened the scoring in the 15th when he ran onto a long pass by Koundé that bounced over left back Óscar Mingueza, cut back to his left foot and fired home. Lewandowski doubled the lead in the 61st after Raphinha intercepted a pass by Minqueza and set up his strike partner. The Poland striker scrambled the ball past two defenders before slotting beyond Vicente Guaita. Lewandowski took his league-leading tally to 15 goals in 14 rounds, while Raphinha has added eight league goals. Raphinha came close to a second goal that would have made it 3-0 when he hit the post in the 77th, just moments before the wild final stretch when it all crumbled for the visitors. “We have to learn from this. This can’t happen just because we had a player sent off. But onto the next game,” said Gavi Páez, who started his first match since returning from a serious leg injury last season. Antoine Griezmann converted a late penalty to equalize and Alexander Sorloth struck an 86th-minute winner to give Atletico Madrid a 2-1 win at home over Alaves. The comeback victory lifted Atletico into second place — five points behind Barcelona. Coach Diego Simeone showed his sensitive side after the match when he choked up when speaking about this love for the team he has coached for nearly 13 years. Valencia played its first home game since last month’s devastating floods that killed over 200 people in eastern Spain. The club honored the victims before kickoff when several fans were seen to cry during the ceremony. Hugo Duro led the 4-2 win over Real Betis by scoring a double. Girona routed Espanyol 4-1 in a Catalan regional derby with Bojan Miovski’s first two goals since joining the club. Mallorca forward Johan Mojica scored off a set piece from a free kick inside Las Palmas' area to complete a 3-2 win for the visitors in injury time. AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccerReps.

The Special Assistant to the Governor of Kaduna State on the school feeding programme, Dr. Fauziya Buhari-Ado, has offered insight as to why the state government is educating underprivileged children in the state. Buhari- Ado explained that the measure is aimed at ensuring sustainable growth and development of the state. Buhari-Ado spoke in Kaduna when she was conferred with the award of the most impactful S.A of the year 2024 by the Kaduna Social Media Connect. She reiterated the government’s resolve to sustain the school feeding programme across the 23 local government areas of the state. She expressed gratitude to the organisers for founding her worthy of the award, remarking that the school feeding programme would not have been possible without the full support of Governor Uba Sani’s administration in the state. She also explained that beneficiaries of the school feeding programme are children of the underprivileged in society who deserve qualitative education like their peers from privileged homes in the state. “Let me state that 80 percent of the beneficiaries of this programme are the children of the most vulnerable in society. These are children who cannot afford to pay for their tuition fees, children who cannot afford for their parents to feed them,” she said. “These children are basically brought to the school without anything. And his Excellency has ensured that all their needs must be met. We believe that if we provide the nutrition and nourishment to these children, it would propel them to achieve their academic endeavors. “These children are our future, they are the future of Kaduna state and the future of Nigeria. Kaduna state is the only state that is engaged in this programme.”
