How he keeps the planes running on time
The emergence of young talents such as Mason Greenwood and Jadon Sancho has led to increased competition for places in Manchester United's attacking lineup. As a result, Rashford has found himself in and out of the starting XI, with his performances coming under greater scrutiny from fans and pundits alike. This has reportedly led to some within the club hierarchy considering the possibility of cashing in on Rashford in order to fund other transfers and reshape the squad.BOSTON — More suspected drone sightings in the eastern U.S. led to a temporary airspace shutdown at an Air Force base in Ohio and arrests near Boston’s Logan International Airport, as elected officials increased their push for action to identify and stop the unmanned flights. Drones flying around Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton, Ohio, forced base officials to close the airspace for about four hours late Friday into early Saturday, said Robert Purtiman, a base spokesperson. It is the first time drones have been spotted at the base, one of the largest in the world, and no sightings were reported since early Saturday, Purtiman said Monday. He would not say how many drones were flying in the area, adding that they ranged in size and that they did not impact any base facilities. In Boston, city police arrested two men accused of operating a drone “dangerously close” to Logan Airport on Saturday night. Authorities said an officer using drone monitoring technology detected the aircraft and the location of the operators. A third man who fled police remains at large. Authorities said the two men face trespassing charges. Get local news delivered to your inbox!
In a world where cloud infrastructure becomes increasingly more sophisticated, it challenges business on an almost global scale and Hrishikesh Rajesh Mane of VMware did his part of catalyzing change in the art of customer support and security monitoring. With an advanced Cloud and Server Log Scanner that he has developed, he has helped catapult support technology into a new realm of excellence in which problems are settled quickly with improved chances of finding vulnerabilities in a customer's global deployments. The genesis of the project was a critical operational imperative identified by Hrishikesh Rajesh Mane-the customer support engineer, who saw significant inefficiencies in traditional log analysis methods employed within the team. Using his technical prowess, he realized that manual scanning of logs has now become a bottleneck point in issue resolution and could start affecting customer satisfaction along with system security. These approaches, highly dependent on the manual review and simple pattern matching, did not keep up with the scale and complexity involved in modern cloud infrastructure challenges. Hrishikesh pushed the technological underpinning of change by creating more sophisticated log analysis capabilities. His design was an innovative scanning system for the specialized use of patterns to be recognized and automatically analyzed over cloud infrastructure diagnostics. Such developments brought sharp improvements in speed and accuracy at which issues could be identified, thus enabling support engineers promptly to pin down root causes of problems in production. The log scanner's architectural design, under Hrishikesh's guidance contained several innovative elements that indeed made a lot of difference in the support capabilities. The intelligent recognition algorithms he implemented have been very finely tuned to the cloud infrastructure logs to provide a better accuracy level in the detection of issues. Correct correlation of events from various sources of logs enabled the effective diagnosis of the problems, and automated categorization features streamlined the overall triage process. Performance metrics clearly established the magnitude of impact from Hrishikesh's innovation: a 50% reduction in resolution times for support issues without sacrificing full coverage of potential problems. Operationally, this meant efficiencies; the reducing backlogs of support issues allowed engineers to focus on solving the most complex cases requiring deep technical expertise. In like proportion, the same improvement was observed in terms of customer satisfaction with documented 30% increase in satisfaction ratings. This is reflective of the dramatic improvement seen in terms of response times and effectiveness in resolving support requests. Under his design, this system developed a proactive approach to security vulnerability detection, enabling it to highlight potential security issues based on patterns in massive log data and thereby providing for preventive intervention before the issues could impact customer operations. Indeed, an advance in sophisticated security monitoring, this enhanced the security posture of customer environments while reducing the chance of security-related incidents. Knowledge transfer became an important element of his project strategy. Hrishikesh designed very comprehensive training programs so the support engineers could adequately use the scanner's capability. He kept enabling continuous system refinement through regular feedback sessions, incorporating engineer insights into improving detection accuracy even further. His development of detailed operational procedures and best-practice guidelines supported consistent application of new methodologies across the global support organization. Implemented automated analysis capabilities with the wise hand of Hrishikesh, which smoothened workflows for support. The extraction of log data automatically correlated relevance from it, reducing the average time it took to run investigations while also allowing high-quality diagnosis of problems by making all necessary information available to the support engineers. His system also aggregated events into related ones in order to identify pattern-based connections, further improving support efficiency, all this while maintaining high standards of accuracy. Looking forward, Hrishikesh's initiative has laid a robust basis that will support the growth of enhancement in support technology. His scalable design continuously allows for improvement with the ongoing complexities of evolving cloud infrastructure and emerging security challenges. His overall success in meeting both the immediate needs of support and the long-term strategic goals toward operational efficiency makes his technical support transformation a model for the future. This project was highly significant for Hrishikesh personally. The development of cloud infrastructure, security monitoring, and large-scale system design has been the core experience, which has made his understanding very vast. Having designed and implemented a solution of such magnitude is something that has made him a trendsetter influence in the community of technical support and cloud infrastructure. Hrishikesh's work has had an enduring impact right up till today, where VMware's global support operations are significantly amplified to be better geared towards supporting the millions of customers all over the globe. This success stands testimony to his mastery in utilizing innovative solutions with novel technology and deepened infrastructure understanding for driving large improvements in customer-support operations. It achieved, besides all its immediate objectives in terms of improvement in support efficiency, a new benchmark to automated log analysis and proactive security monitoring in cloud infrastructure environments.

Poeltl finished with 20 points, seven rebounds and seven assists. Olynyk had 13 points, four rebounds, and an assist in 14 minutes. TAKEAWAYS Mavericks: Before the game Dallas head coach Jason Kidd was asked about his team’s struggles in the second quarter. The Mavs didn’t slow down at all in the first half, instead taking their foot off the gas in the fourth quarter, with the Raptors erasing a 14-point deficit in the period, pulling to within five points with 1:02 left to play. Raptors: Taking care of the ball has been an issue for Toronto all season — the Raptors had 16.7 turnovers per game heading into Saturday’s game, fifth worst in the NBA — and it really cost the hosts again. They gave up the ball 13 times, leading to 24 points for Dallas. KEY MOMENT Doncic took a couple of strides across half-court and threw up a buzzer beater as time expired on the second quarter. It banked in for a 70-54 Dallas lead as he and Irving celebrated at centre court. KEY STAT Doncic’s triple-double moved him ahead of Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden and Hall of Famer Wilt Chamberlain for sole possession of seventh on the NBA’s all-time triple-doubles list with 79 in his career. UP NEXT Toronto hosts the New York Knicks on Monday night. The Mavericks continue their road trip with a stop in Oklahoma City on Tuesday.

An Idaho teenager has been arrested after the body of an infant was found last month at a hospital in a box meant for people to anonymously give up a newborn. According to the Blackfoot Police Department, an 18-year-old from Twin Falls, about 130 miles southeast of Boise, had been arrested there and booked into the Bingham County Jail. She was arrested on a felony arrest warrant for failing to report a death to law enforcement officials and the coroner, police said. Police in Blackfoot responded to a report Oct. 13 of a dead baby left at Grove Creek Medical Center. Safe Haven Baby Boxes founder Monica Kelsey has said hospital staff responded immediately to an alarm indicating a baby was in the box and realized that the infant had died before being placed inside. Idaho law only allows for the surrender of an infant who is unharmed. "The Safe Haven Baby Box is intended to safely and anonymously allow custodial parents to surrender a newborn under 30 days old without legal repercussions, provided the child is unharmed," police said in the social media post. "Unfortunately, the placement of a harmed or deceased infant is not protected under this system or Idaho law." The baby had been wrapped in a blanket, and the placenta was still attached, Kelsey said previously. Police declined to release additional information. More charges are possible. This report includes information from The Associated Press.TORONTO — Jakob Poeltl, Kelly Olynyk and Davion Mitchell will all return to the Toronto Raptors lineup tonight against the Dallas Mavericks.
