How to Watch Porn in Virtual RealityBy David Shepardson WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Reported sightings of drones over New Jersey have prompted a spike in the number of people in the state pointing lasers at airplanes flying overhead, which is illegal and can be dangerous, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration said. The FAA said reports are up 269% to 59 in the first half of December, compared with eight in the same period last year. Aiming a laser at an aircraft is a serious safety issue and a violation of federal law. U.S. agencies have repeatedly said the spike in drone sightings does not pose national security risks and appear to be mostly aircraft, stars or hobbyist drones. The FAA said it has received dozens of new laser reports from pilots in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania airspace. The FBI in New Jersey separately warned people Wednesday not to shoot at suspected drones or point lasers at them, warning "there could be dangerous and possibly deadly consequences if manned aircraft are targeted mistakenly" as drones. Federal agencies have stepped up tracking of drones in New Jersey and in nearby states after a frenzy of public concern. Fewer than 100 of the more than 5,000 reported sightings in New Jersey and other northeastern U.S. states merited investigation, officials at the Defense Department, Homeland Security Department, FBI and FAA said this week. The Biden administration gave members of the U.S. House of Representatives Intelligence Committee a classified briefing on the issue on Tuesday. Officials have repeatedly said most of the large fixed-wing sightings involved manned aircraft, and came after U.S. President-elect Donald Trump on Monday called for more federal comment on the reported sightings. There are about 1 million registered drones flying about 42 million flights annually. "There are thousands of commercial, hobbyist and law enforcement drones lawfully in the sky on any given day. With the technology landscape evolving, we expect that number to increase over time," agencies said this week. (Reporting by David Shepardson; Editing by Leslie Adler and David Gregorio)

Before you dive into holiday shopping, learn how to spot common scams and protect yourself. Fraudsters commonly send phishing emails and text messages impersonating delivery services or popular retailers like Amazon. These messages, which typically claim there’s an issue with processing or delivering the order, may request payment information or include malicious links. A message might say something like, “Part of your address is missing. Please click on this link to complete the address,” says Raj Dasgupta, senior director of global advisory at BioCatch, a fraud-prevention firm. If you get a similar message when you’re not expecting a package, that should raise doubts, Dasgupta says. But even if you have ordered something, don’t overlook warning signs. It’s unusual for delivery services to hold up packages or seek payment, because shipping costs are almost always charged to the shipper, not the receiver, says Cliff Steinhauer, director of information security and engagement at the nonprofit National Cybersecurity Alliance. Avoid clicking on links in texts or emails, and don’t share personal or payment details. To verify whether an order update is genuine, “go back to your original order on the site,” Steinhauer says. You can log in and check the order status and reach out to customer service directly if there’s a problem, he says. When shopping online, carefully scrutinize sellers and products to avoid winding up with counterfeit items — or nothing at all. Sponsored ads on social media sites and search engines aren’t always vetted enough, Steinhauer says, which means you may come across scams. Fraudsters buy Google ads for desirable products, such as exercise equipment, Dasgupta says. When people click on these ads, they might land on a “sophisticated-looking fake website” that mimics a well-known site, such as Macy’s, or on a made-up company’s page, he says. Shoppers never receive the product they’re attempting to purchase, or they get an inferior product. Ignore “sponsored” links, and read URLs closely. There will usually be “something off,” Steinhauer says, such as a slight misspelling or dashes in the website name that aren’t normally there. “The best thing is to go to the legitimate website or app that you know is the right one, and just shop there,” he says. Watch for third-party seller scams on legitimate websites, too. Some companies, such as Walmart and Target, allow outside vendors to sell merchandise through their platforms — and the reliability can vary. Reading seller reviews before you buy can help you avoid bad actors. Be wary of sellers who ask for gift cards or peer-to-peer payments. If a service like Venmo or Cash App is the only payment method accepted, that’s an immediate red flag, Dasgupta says. And if a deal seems too good to be true, it probably is. “Quishing” is when scammers create QR codes that link to fraudulent websites or install malware on devices. These codes may show up on parking meters, in mysterious packages delivered to your physical address or in your email inbox. For example, a scammer posing as your bank might email you a code and instruct you to update your login credentials. Email services often filter out known malicious links or domains and send them to your spam folder, Steinhauer says, but a QR code can get past these filters because it’s an image. Don’t scan codes you receive unexpectedly, and closely inspect QR codes in public places for signs of tampering.CHARLESTON, S.C.

All we want for Christmas is a better schedule for working parents. Four education and workplace experts share ideas for creating a system that actually works.

It’s silly season, and there are some seriously jolly deals being done on new cars across Australia. With the pressure on for brands to meet their sales targets, it could be the best time of year to think about parking a new car in your driveway. Here are seven of the most impressive deals on offer right now. GWM is doing deals on its utes. 1 – GWM Cannon Ute This Chinese ute has a sharp new entry price point – $34,490 drive-away for the base model Cannon Premium diesel dual-cab 4x4, which is $2000 less than before. The deal runs to the end of 2024. It has a five-star ANCAP rating and a seven-year warranty. There’s also the Cannon XSR off-road model, which is down $6000 compared to the previous price, now just $46,990 drive-away until the end of the year. It gets a snorkel, rugged body trim and extra 4WD equipment. The brand will add a new more powerful engine in 2025, but the existing model is a decent thing for the money, undercutting other utes from Japanese brands by up to $30,000. Mazda has shaved $11,000 off the CX-60. 2 – Mazda CX-60 The premium six-cylinder midsize SUV from the Mazda mightn’t be perfect, but the price is certainly appealing for a couple of the on-sale variants. The brand is doing deals on the CX-60 petrol-powered G40e Evolve all-wheel-drive model, which starts at $56,990 drive-away – about $9000 off the existing price. There are also deals to be had on the CX-60 GT with the same punchy petrol engine, which is now $64,990 drive-away, about $11K off the existing list price. You might be interested in the seven-seat CX-80, too, which starts off just over $60K drive-away. A nice discount! There are special deals in place for the Mitsubishi Triton. Photo: Mark Bean 3 – Mitsubishi fuel cards and bonus offers Mitsubishi Motors has a heap of incentives on offer at the moment, with the Japanese brand offering fuel cards up to $2500 on models like the Triton ute. If you’re an existing Mitsubishi customer, you could also be eligible for a further $1000 bonus. The brand is also spruiking a special offer for Holden owners – if you own one of the Aussie-branded classics, you could get a further $1000 towards your new Mitsi. And you can even get a referral bonus of $250 if you know a Holden owner that chooses to buy a Mitsubishi. Make sure you read the T & Cs at the brand’s website. Honda has offers in place for the HR-V. 4 – Honda SUVs There are a number of deals to be had if you’re in the market for a Honda SUV. The smallest one – HR-V – can be had with a $2500 contribution to your repayments if you finance through Honda Australia’s money management. The middle one – ZR-V – has serious specials on offer for MY23 stock. You’ll get a $2500 price cut, a further $2500 finance contribution, and an eight-year warranty with roadside assistance, plus five free services. That’s a huge amount of added value for early-build stock, and newer badged models can still score the $2500 finance help and free servicing. The biggest one – CR-V – also has MY23 stock deals the same as the ZR-V, which is superb value for one of the best midsize SUVs on the market. Aim for a MY24 model, and you’ll score $2800 off the asking price and five free services, plus that $2500 in-house finance incentive. Hyundai’s Tucson Hybrid. Photo: Supplied 5 – Hyundai Tucson The updated Tucson range saw some steep price increases, but there are strong deals on offer right now for a number of variants. You could get into a base model petrol front-wheel drive for $40,990 drive-away, about $4000 off the usual price. If you want a hybrid Tucson, that’s on special too: the base model version is available from $46,990 drive-away, almost $5000 off what you’d usually pay. A word to the wise – shop around at a few different dealerships and you might find even better deals on these models. BYD’s ATTO 3 is on sale. 6 – BYD discounts BYD has some strong deals on offer to round out an exceptional 2024, including a “$3000 limited time contribution” for MY24 models in stock around the country, excluding the Shark ute. That means a significant reduction in the cost of vehicles like the Dolphin EV, Seal EV, Sealion plug-in hybrid and Atto 3 EV. You’ll also get a free EV Switch home charger included, which usually costs $999. Installation is extra. The Chery Omoda 5 is on sale. 7 – Chery SUV price cuts Fancy a five-star ANCAP rated midsize SUV packed with technology and powered by a turbo-petrol engine? It’s an enticing combo, particularly at the price being asked for the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro Urban – just $31,990 drive-away for the base model, while the mid-spec Elite is $36,990 drive-away and the top-end Ultimate with all-wheel drive is $40,990 drive-away. That’s $5000 off the existing prices, which were already sharp. If you prefer the look of the smaller Chery Omoda 5, it’s $3000 off for most grades, too. Meanwhile, the seven-seat Tiggo 8 Pro can be had for $41,990 drive-away with a guaranteed future buy-back value and low weekly payments, or with seven years of free servicing.

Google names UK executive as president for Europe, Middle East and Africa( MENAFN - The Conversation) On this day three years ago, we witnessed the nail-biting launch of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), the largest and most powerful telescope humans have ever sent into space. It took 30 years to build, but in three short years of operation, JWST has already revolutionised our view of the cosmos. It's explored our own Solar System, studied the atmospheres of distant planets in search of signs of life and probed the farthest depths to find the very first stars and galaxies formed in the universe. Here's what JWST has taught us about the early universe since its launch – and the new mysteries it has uncovered. JWST has pushed the boundary of how far we can look into the universe to find the first stars and galaxies. With Earth's atmosphere out of the way, its location in space makes for perfect conditions to peer into the depths of the cosmos with infrared light. The current record for the most distant galaxy confirmed by JWST dates back to a time when the universe was only about 300 million years old . Surprisingly, within this short time window, this galaxy managed to form about 400 million times the mass of our Sun. This indicates star formation in the early universe was extremely efficient. And this galaxy is not the only one. When galaxies grow, their stars explode, creating dust. The bigger the galaxy, the more dust it has. This dust makes galaxies appear red because it absorbs the blue light. But here's the catch: JWST has shown these first galaxies to be shockingly bright, massive and very blue , with no sign of any dust. That's a real puzzle. There are many theories to explain the weird nature of these first galaxies. Do they have huge stars that just collapse due to gravity without undergoing massive supernova explosions? Or do they have such large explosions that all dust is pushed away far from the galaxy, exposing a blue, dust-free core? Perhaps the dust is destroyed due to the intense radiation from these early exotic stars – we just don't know yet. The early stars were the key building blocks of what eventually became life. The universe began with only hydrogen, helium and a small amount of lithium. All other elements, from the calcium in our bones to the oxygen in the air we breathe, were forged in the cores of these stars. JWST has discovered that early galaxies also have unusual chemical features . They contain a significant amount of nitrogen, far more than what we observe in our Sun, while most other metals are present in lower quantities. This suggests there were processes at play in the early universe we don't yet fully understand. JWST has shown our models of how stars drive the chemical evolution of galaxies are still incomplete, meaning we still don't fully understand the conditions that led to our existence. Using massive clusters of galaxies as gigantic magnifying glasses, JWST's sensitive cameras can also peer deep into the cosmos to find the faintest galaxies . We pushed further to find the point at which galaxies become so faint, they stop forming stars altogether. This helps us understand the conditions under which galaxy formation comes to an end. JWST is yet to find this limit. However, it has uncovered many faint galaxies, far more than anticipated, emitting over four times the energetic photons (light particles) we expected. The discovery suggests these small galaxies may have played a crucial role in ending the cosmic“dark ages” not long after the Big Bang. Read more: What ended the 'dark ages' in the early universe? New Webb data just brought us closer to solving the mystery The very first images of JWST resulted in another dramatic, unexpected discovery. The early universe is inhabited by an abundance of“little red dots”: extremely compact red colour sources of unknown origin. Initially, they were thought to be massive super-dense galaxies that shouldn't be possible , but detailed observations in the past year have revealed a combination of deeply puzzling and contradictory properties. Bright hydrogen gas is emitting light at enormous speeds, thousands of kilometres per second, characteristic of gas swirling around a supermassive black hole. This phenomenon, called an active galactic nucleus, usually indicates a feeding frenzy where a supermassive black hole is gobbling up all the gas around it, growing rapidly. But these are not your garden variety active galactic nuclei. For starters: they don't emit any detectable X-rays, as is normally expected. Even more intriguingly, they seem to have the features of star populations. Could these galaxies be both stars and active galactic nuclei at the same time? Or some evolutionary stage in between? Whatever they are, the little red dots are probably going to teach us something about the birth of both supermassive black holes and stars in galaxies. As well as extremely lively early galaxies, JWST has also found extremely dead corpses : galaxies in the early universe that are relics of intense star formation at cosmic dawn. These corpses had been found by Hubble and ground-based telescopes, but only JWST had the power to dissect their light to reveal how long they've been dead. It has uncovered some extremely massive galaxies (as massive as our Milky Way today and more) that formed in the first 700 million years of cosmic history. Our current galaxy formation models can't explain these objects – they are too big and formed too early. Cosmologists are still debating whether the models can be bent to fit (for example, maybe early star formation was extremely efficient) or whether we have to reconsider the nature of dark matter and how it gives rise to early collapsing objects. JWST will turn up many more of these objects in the next year and study the existing ones in greater detail. Either way, we will know soon. Just within its first steps, the telescope has revealed many shortcomings of our current models of the universe. While we are refining our models to account for the updates JWST has brought us, we are most excited about the unknown unknowns. The mysterious red dots were hiding from our view. What else is lingering in the depths of cosmos? JWST will soon tell us.

RAWALPINDI: As the ruling coalition and embattled Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) have officially entered dialogues, the latter sought government’s “timeframe” in connection with progress on their demands. Talking to journalists outside Rawalpindi’s Adiala Jail, following a meeting with PTI founder Imran Khan, the former ruling party’s Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan on Tuesday said: “There should be progress on our demands within [a specified] time frame.” “Dialogues should be held within [a specified] timeframe,” he said, quoting the incarcerated PTI founder, who has been behind bars since August last year after he was sentenced in Toshakhana case-I — one of the dozens cases registered against the former premier since his ouster from power in April 2022. The development came a day after the ruling coalition and the PTI came to table to defuse political tensions in the cash-strapped country. Negotiating committees, formed by the government and the PTI, conducted their much-hyped meeting in a conducive environment and resolved to continue dialogue process. National Assembly Speaker Ayaz Sadiq, who presided over the meeting, had said that the next session will be held on January 2 and PTI’s team would present a charter of their demands in the huddle. During his interaction with journalists today, the PTI chairman said that he briefed Khan on their talks with the government. “It was a routine meeting that lasted for half an hour.” The PTI founder expressed his satisfaction over initiating the negotiation process, he added. Gohar expressed hope that the government would address their legitimate demands. Responding to a question, the PTI chairman said that matters related to the civil disobedience movement were not discussed in the meeting.MTN Group has announced key leadership changes in major markets in a move to strengthen succession planning, improve operational execution, and advance its ambition 2025 strategy. The reshuffle, according to the telco, is intended to reinforce the company’s focus on digital and financial inclusion across its markets. In a statement on Wednesday, the group operating in over 20 countries disclosed that Mitwa Ng’ambi, currently the Chief Executive Officer of MTN Cameroon, will become the CEO of MTN Côte d’Ivoire effective March 1, 2025, succeeding Djibril Ouattara, who is taking early retirement. MTN expressed gratitude for Ouattara’s significant contributions, stating, “We thank Djibril for his significant contributions to MTN, including his leadership of MTN Congo-Brazzaville.” To ensure a seamless transition, Ouattara will support Ng’ambi during the handover period, the operator said. Ng’ambi, who has over 15 years of telecom experience, previously served as CEO of MTN Rwanda. During her tenure, she led the successful licence renewal and listing of the company on the Rwanda Stock Exchange. MTN highlighted her transformational leadership, noting, “Mitwa’s experience and track record will add impetus to the growth and turnaround of MTN Côte d’Ivoire.” Wanda Matandela, currently the Chief Commercial Operations Officer at MTN South Africa, has been appointed as the new CEO of MTN Cameroon, also effective March 1, 2025. Matandela joined MTN in 2018 and played a key role in turning around the enterprise business. MTN emphasised his strong background, stating, “Wanda’s strong commercial and stakeholder management experience will be invaluable as he builds on the high impact and energy created under Mitwa’s leadership.” Related News MTN pays N200bn monthly in VAT — Tax committee Mastercard, MTN to digitise one million African SMEs Rural base station operations cost 35% more – Telcos In another strategic shift, Mazen Mroue, MTN Group’s Chief Technology and Information Officer, will take on the additional role of CEO of Digital Infrastructure (Infraco) starting January 1, 2025. This new role will encompass Bayobab’s mobility and fibre businesses, as well as executing MTN’s data centre strategy. MTN underscored Mroue’s suitability for the role, stating, “His strong technology and operational experience, combined with his track record of delivery, positions him well to fulfil this dual mandate.” The changes come as the current CEO of Bayobab, Frédéric Schepens, leaves the group immediately. MTN acknowledged his contributions, stating, “We thank Frédéric for his contributions and wish him success in his future endeavours.” MTN Group President and CEO Ralph Mupita expressed confidence in the company’s internal leadership pipeline, saying, “These appointments reflect the strength of our internal talent and reinforce our commitment to delivering on our digital and financial inclusion goals.” He also stressed the importance of maintaining operational execution across MTN’s markets. The leadership changes align with MTN’s Ambition 2025 strategy, which focuses on accelerating growth, enhancing infrastructure, and expanding access to digital and financial services across Africa.
