The tech giant claims Sidewalk will feature “multiple layers of encryption” for added privacy and security for personal information. The company also noted that all data shared is automatically deleted every 24 hours. Ring owners can opt out by visiting the control center in the Ring app or Ring website.

Former Porto, Chelsea and Tottenham coach Villas-Boas moved to Marseille at the start of the season, replacing Rudi Garcia after he could only guide them to a fifth-place finish. An improvement under Villas-Boas was not instant, as they won just four of their first 12 matches of the season across all competitions, but a 16-match unbeaten run followed. That helped propel them to what would be their final position in the Ligue 1 table, as Marseille were confirmed as runners-up to Paris Saint-Germain last week when the 2019-20 season was cancelled....

AMD Radeon R9 280X vs nVidia GeForce GTX 770: out with VLIW and in with GCN When AMD disbanded its old VLIW (Very Long Instruction Word) architecture in 2012, and replaced it with an all-new GCN (Graphics Core Next) platform, this marked a seachange in the company’s thinking. The older VLIW technology had been very good at simply hurling pixels and texels at the screen, but lacked finesse when it came to applications other than straightforward 3D graphics....

The Cornhuskers athletic department distributed AA batteries to the media made in Abdullah’s likeness. MORE: Which unbeatens will lose in Week 4? | Bowl Projections | “Game Manager U?” The batteries have “AA8” on the side – Abdullah’s jersey number – along with the Nebraska logo. Nice touch. Abdullah already saved Nebraska’s season with a 58-yard touchdown reception in the final minute against McNeese State in Week 2. He has 501 total yards through three games....

If only that were the total of PolyGram’s problems. But no. Its woes have been coming in waves. In the days before the trial, the visionary who founded Island, Chris Blackwell, publicly lambasted Levy, who quickly ousted him. The new man hired to r evive the legendary but long-cold Motown Records, also a PolyGram label, was being met with wide skepticism. And a trade paper had stirred up another fuss, reporting–wrongly, PolyGram says–that the chief of its A&M label was poised to quit over the exp anding power of the chief of sister label Mercury Records....

Two other snazzy new features are enhanced picture and sound downloading. The NewsPlus section, which will contain in-depth files on specific stories such as Haiti, has an O. J. Simpson trial area with pictures that are quick and easy to download (no more waiting while your coffee grows cold). As of last week this was still a relatively new section, but it looks like a good potential hangout for news junkies....

“The Pirates of Penzance” The intervention in Somalia has had elements of opera bouffe. Remember the Marines splashing ashore in December in the dead of night but not in darkness, bathed by the bright lights of waiting camera crews? And there is a grimly comic aspect to the sophisticated aircraft of the world’s mightiest military power making Third World rubble bounce during the (so far unavailing) pursuit of someone currently described as a “fugitive warlord....

“Zoos around the world are rallying to get funds together,” Tim Morrow, president and CEO of the San Antonio Zoo, told Newsweek. Australia’s deadly wildfires have burned through at least 15 million acres of land and could end up affecting a billion animals, according to University of Sydney ecologist Chris Dickman. Humans—and dogs—have helped locate and rescue injured koalas, which are being brought to sanctuaries, animal hospitals and makeshift triage centers for treatment....

Last month, the Louisiana House of Representatives easily passed a bill that stiffens existing penalties for people who engage in public sex. The Senate is expected to pass the bill this week and the governor will likely sign it into law days later. All this legislative activity is a result of a crusade by a camcorder-carrying Christian conservative who videotaped what he calls public “orgies” during last year’s Southern Decadence festival, the annual “Gay Mardi Gras” that takes place on Bourbon Street around Labor Day....

One of the new charges against Fenster is under the umbrella of the Counter-Terrorism Act, which criminalizes any contact, membership and assistance to groups officially deemed as “terrorist” organizations. The charge, which can result in a prison sentence of between three to seven years, covers “acts of exhortation, persuasion, propaganda and recruitment of any person to participate in any terrorist group or activities of terrorism.” The other charge against Fenster, which comes under a section of the country’s penal code where it is usually called treason, could result in seven to 20 years of prison time, the AP reported....

Zayat told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” show that the Aug. 2 Haskell at Monmouth Park in Oceanport, N.J., is “probably” on deck. It’s a Grade I stakes race for 3-year-olds at 1 1/8 miles with a $1 million purse. If he wins, American Pharoah will have won seven different Grade I stakes races on seven different tracks.

If we have learned anything at this World Cup, it is that even seemingly simple VAR decisions can be made difficult. The call on South Korea’s would-be goal was pretty straightforward — German midfielder Toni Kroos attempted to clear a loose ball away from the front of the German goal, but put it through the legs of teammate Niklas Sule and right to the feet of Korean striker Kim Young-Gwon, who turned and deposited the gift into the net....

The latest survey published by Monmouth University on Wednesday found that 37 percent of voters believed her allegation was “probably true” while 32 percent thought Reade’s claim was “probably not true.” Almost the same number (31 percent) told pollsters they had “no opinion” on the validity of the allegation. Eighty-six percent of all surveyed voters said they were aware that a sexual assault allegation had been brought against Biden by a former Senate staffer....

New polling from YouGov and The Economist has shown that many voters feel uncomfortable with the ability of Biden and Trump to handle an international crisis, an economic recession, and the coronavirus outbreak. But overall, less voters are “uneasy” about the Democratic candidate’s capabilities when faced with these major issues. A majority of survey respondents said they felt uneasy about Trump’s ability to handle all three issues. When it comes to an international crisis, 55 percent of voters expressed discomfort with the president’s ability....

Of all three potential 2020 candidates, Biden was identified as the best person to lead the U.S. in its response to the growing global crisis. Commissioned by Newsy, the YouGov poll, which saw 1,000 people surveyed between March 9 and 10, asked respondents to decide who would be “best equipped” to handle the coronavirus, or COVID-19, outbreak in a series of match-ups between Trump, Biden and Sanders. Asked who would be the best candidate to tackle the outbreak between Biden and Trump, 40 percent of respondents said they believed the former vice president would be the best candidate to do so, compared with 34 percent who said they felt Trump is best equipped to respond....

Enter Azerbaijan, which has pledged to increase natural gas imports to Europe following the start of the war. Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, said during a visit to Baku in July 2022: “Not only are we looking to strengthen our existing partnership which guarantees stable and reliable gas supplies to the EU via the Southern Gas Corridor. We are also laying the foundations of a long-term partnership on energy efficiency and clean energy, as we both pursue the objectives of the Paris Agreement....

Four days after celebrating his 23rd birthday, the Nigerian forward found his scoring boots since he registered a brace against Akhisarspor on Christmas Day. Umar inspired Irfan Buz’s side to their first win since the resumption of the Turkish top-flight on January 27. The 2016 Rio Olympics bronze medalist opened the scoring at the Osmanli Stadium in the 17th minute with his fifth league goal of the season. Morocco’s Adrien Regattin doubled the lead with his 43rd-minute effort....
