A 21-year-old US Air Force National Guard member has been arrested over the leak of classified documents. Jack Teixeira is reported to be the leader of an online gaming chat group where the files were leaked. US officials said he will be charged under the Espionage Act, which makes it a crime to transmit classified defence information. The documents revealed sensitive intelligence about the war in Ukraine and other countries around the world. Aerial footage showed officers making an arrest at Mr Teixeira's family home on Thursday. It happened in Dighton, a town of 8,000 people about an hour to the south of Boston. Footage of the arrest shows a young man, believed to be Mr Teixeira, walking backward towards armed FBI officers with his hands raised before he is handcuffed and led to a vehicle. He is expected to make his first court appearance in Boston on Friday. Mr Teixeira is a member of the intelligence wing of the Massachusetts Air National Guard. In a brief statement on Thursday, Attorney General Merrick Garland said the suspect was taken into custody "without incident". Mr Garland provided no further details on the investigation or the motive for the leaks. At a separate news conference earlier in the day, defence department spokesman Brigadier General Pat Ryder said that the leak was a "deliberate criminal act". When asked how such a young airman had access to classified defence documents, Gen Ryder said that across the US military, personnel are entrusted "with a lot of responsibility at a very early age". "Think about a young combat platoon sergeant, and the responsibility and trust that we put into those individuals to lead troops into combat," he said. What was in the leaks? Starting several months ago, at least 50 but perhaps more than 100 classified documents were posted on Discord - a social media platform po[CENSORED]r with gamers. The documents - which BBC News is examining - contain a range of intelligence assessments about the war in Ukraine, but also sensitive intelligence about countries around the world, including US allies. A defence department spokesman said the Pentagon is continuing to work to "understand the scope, scale and impact of these leaks". In a statement, Republican congressman Mike Turner - the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee - vowed to "examine why this happened, why it went unnoticed for weeks, and how to prevent future leaks". More Pentagon leaks coverage: What we know about US leaks suspect Jack Teixeira Eight things we learned from the leaked files Leaks suggest US spied on UN chief How secret files on Ukraine spread, then disappeared Western special forces inside Ukraine, leak shows On Wednesday, the Washington Post published an interview with one of the members of the chat room where the documents initially appeared. He described the leaker as a young, charismatic gun enthusiast in his early to mid-20s who works at an unnamed military base. The Post reported that the man was the leader of a Discord chat room, including roughly two dozen members who swapped "memes, offensive jokes and idle chitchat" and prayed and watched movies together. The members included people from Russia and Ukraine and a number of other countries in Europe, Asia and South America, the paper reported. At first the leaks were kept inside the small chat room, but in early March members began posting them on other Discord servers, including ones dedicated to the game Minecraft and a Filipino YouTuber. From there they were posted on the fringe message board 4chan and on the Telegram chat app, particularly on pro-Russia channels. In some cases they were altered to increase Ukrainian casualty counts. The Air National Guard is the reserve of the US Air Force. Units are split up by state, and Mr Teixeira was based at Otis Air National Guard Base in western Cape Cod, Massachusetts. According to his service record, obtained by CBS, Mr Teixeira joined the force in 2019. His official title is cyber transport systems journeyman and he holds the rank of Airman 1st Class - a relatively junior position. US President Joe Biden was briefed about Mr Teixeira's arrest while on a trip to Ireland, White House officials have confirmed to CBS. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-65269975

2021 has been a great year for smartphones, all things considered. We put out a list in the middle of this year recapping some of the best launches we've had in India, and now it's time for the final update as we close yet another year of stellar phone launches. Most of the phones in the previous list have remained, with the exception of some such as the Vivo X60 Pro, which has traded places with the Vivo X70 Pro+. We have some new additions such as the Realme GT and of course, the iPhone 13 series. The Google Pixel 6 series probably would have made this list too, had Google launched it in India. How we picked the best phones of 2021 In the previous list, one of the criteria for a smartphone to qualify as one of the best of the year was that it had to have earned an overall rating of at least ‘8' in its review. However, we're tweaking that qualifier a bit for this list, which helps us narrow it down to only the best of the best. We've sorted all the phones that have earned an overall score of ‘9' for this final list, and then only picked the ones that we felt deserved a spot based on their sub-scores in different criteria. We also considered any unique features and performance advantages each smartphone offers compared to its peers in the same segment. Lastly, these models are the ones that we wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone. With that out of the way, let's meet the chosen ones. iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini The Apple iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini aren't huge updates over their predecessors but we feel that Apple has made enough notable changes to keep things fresh and provide a better usage experience. Both new iPhones get some big improvements under the hood such as a faster SoC, sensor-shift stabilisation for the main camera, and larger batteries. They also get some of the same camera features as the iPhone 13 Pro models such as Cinematic Mode and Photographic Styles. All this adds up to a very good user experience, at the same starting prices as the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini. The iPhone 13 mini has everything the iPhone 13 has, only with a smaller battery and display. However, that doesn't mean it's a weaker iPhone. In fact, the iPhone 13 mini delivers better battery life compared to the iPhone 12 mini, and as a compact flagship, is a much better deal than something like the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3. https://www.gadgets360.com/mobiles/guide/best-phones-2021-2495738

Introduction The Galaxy A34 is here and is doing its best to continue building on top of a successful value formula. The A34 is not unlike the A33 5G before it, but there are a few noteworthy differences. The A34 has grown noticeably. It now has a 6.6-inch diagonal, up from 6.4 inches in last year's model, and it's now got a larger and heavier body. This means the A34 is now bigger even than the current Galaxy A54. The display on the new A34 is not only bigger but is now also faster at a 120Hz refresh rate. It is also shorter and wider at a 19.5:9 aspect ratio with smaller bezels. Another notable change is the chipset. Instead of relying on an in-house Exynos chipset like last year, Samsung went for a MediaTek Dimensity 1080 chip this time. That's one interesting development, given that the Galaxy A54 did get a new Samsung Exynos 1380 chip. Samsung Galaxy A34 specs at a glance: Body: 161.3x78.1x8.2mm, 199g; Glass front (Gorilla Glass 5), plastic frame, plastic back; IP67 dust/water resistant (up to 1m for 30 min). Display: 6.60" Super AMOLED, 120Hz, 1080x2340px resolution, 19.5:9 aspect ratio, 390ppi. Chipset: Mediatek MT6877V Dimensity 1080 (6 nm): Octa-core (2x2.6 GHz Cortex-A78 & 6x2.0 GHz Cortex-A55); Mali-G68 MC4. Memory: 128GB 6GB RAM, 128GB 8GB RAM, 256GB 8GB RAM; microSDXC (uses shared SIM slot). OS/Software: Android 13, One UI 5.1. Rear camera: Wide (main): 48 MP, f/1.8, 26mm, 1/2.0", 0.8µm, PDAF, OIS; Ultra wide angle: 8 MP, f/2.2, 123-degree, 1/4.0", 1.12µm; Macro: 5 MP, f/2.4. Front camera: 13 MP, f/2.2, (wide), 1/3.1", 1.12µm. Video capture: Rear camera: 4K@30fps, 1080p@30/60fps, 720p@480fps; Front camera: 4K@30fps, 1080p@30fps. Battery: 5000mAh; 25W wired. Misc: Fingerprint reader (under display, optical); stereo speakers; Virtual proximity sensing. Aside from these changes, the Galaxy A54 makes sure to stick closely to an already-established formula without major deviations. Some important specs highlights still include an IP67 ingress protection rating and a stereo speaker setup. The Galaxy A54 also retains its large 5,000 mAh battery with 25W fast charging. Its camera looks mostly unchanged from last year, with a 48MP main camera, 8MP ultrawide, a 5MP macro cam and a 13MP selfie. No depth sensor this time around, though. So, that's the Galaxy A34 in a nutshell. The question now is whether it is as good as its predecessor and good value in general. Join us on the following pages as we try to find that out. Unboxing The Galaxy A34 comes in a thin two-piece cardboard box like its predecessor. Samsung does not include a charger with the A34. That's not exactly a new development, but one that still deserves mention, especially in the midrange. You do still get a USB Type-C to Type-C cable in the box inside the thin paper compartment. The cable is compatible with Samsung's 25W fast charging, so that bit is covered. https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_a34-review-2554.php

The boss of one of the UK's largest business groups has been fired over complaints about his behaviour at work. Tony Danker, who will leave the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) following an investigation over his conduct towards several employees, said he was "shocked" by the sacking. Three other CBI employees have also been suspended pending a probe into other allegations, the group said. It is also liaising with the police who are looking into the claims. Detective Chief Superintendent Richard Waight of the City of London Police said: "We approached the CBI following media reports and our investigations are at a very early stage. It would not be appropriate to comment any further at this time." Mr Danker stepped aside in March after the CBI hired law firm Fox Williams to investigate several complaints about him. These included a complaint from a female employee in January and complaints from other members of staff which surfaced in March. The 51-year-old, who was paid £376,000 by the CBI in 2021, has now been dismissed with immediate effect with no severance pay. He is being replaced by Rain Newton-Smith, the CBI's former chief economist. Mr Danker tweeted on Tuesday: "I recognise the intense publicity the CBI has suffered following the revelations of awful events that occurred before my time in office. I was appalled to learn about them for the first time last week. "I was nevertheless shocked to learn this morning that I had been dismissed from the CBI, instead of being invited to put my position forward as was originally confirmed. Many of the allegations against me have been distorted, but I recognise that I unintentionally made a number of colleagues feel uncomfortable and I am truly sorry about that. I want to wish my former CBI colleagues every success." The findings of the investigation into him for now remain unpublished. Business group postpones events after new claims Business group boss steps aside after misconduct claims Last week, the Guardian newspaper reported sexual misconduct claims against CBI employees, including an allegation of rape at a summer boat party in 2019. Many of the most serious allegations predate Mr Danker's time as director-general. Belfast-born Mr Danker took over as head of the CBI in November 2020. He had previously spent 10 years as a consultant with McKinsey, and worked as a special adviser to the Treasury under Gordon Brown's government. He has also been international director then chief strategy officer at Guardian News and Media. In its statement on Tuesday, the CBI said: "Tony Danker is dismissed with immediate effect following the independent investigation into specific complaints of workplace misconduct against him. "The board wishes to make clear he is not the subject of any of the more recent allegations in The Guardian but has determined that his own conduct fell short of that expected of the director-general." The scandals have left the CBI facing its biggest crisis since it was founded in 1965. Some company executives who are members of the group have described it as an existential crisis for an organisation that represents the interests of some 190,000 businesses across the UK. The lobby group has already postponed its public events and asked Fox Williams to conduct a separate investigation to the one into Mr Danker. 'Serious failings' A Downing Street spokesman said the government would keep its engagement with the CBI on hold while the group continued its investigation, adding: "We continue to expect any allegations to be taken seriously and for appropriate action to be taken in response." Labour's shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves said Labour had also cut ties with the CBI for now, calling the allegations "incredibly concerning". In its statement, the lobby group said the allegations made in recent weeks had been "devastating" and that there had been "serious failings" in how it had handled sexual misconduct complaints. It said it would now begin a "root-and-branch review" of its culture and governance. This will look at issues such as how employees raise concerns and processes for escalating complaints. "It is already clear to all of us that there have been serious failings in how we have acted as an organisation. We must do better, and we must be better," it said. Mr Danker's replacement, Rain Newton-Smith, becomes the second woman to lead the group in its history. Ms Newton-Smith, who spent her early career as an economist at the Bank of England, left the CBI in March to join Barclays bank as managing director for strategy and policy, sustainability and ESG (environmental, social and governance). She is well known to CBI staff and members but will face a tough job in reassuring members that the lobby group can effectively represent their interests. Jürgen Maier, the former UK boss of engineering giant Siemens, said Mr Danker's sacking should be a "wake up moment" for all business leaders. Mr Maier, who served on the CBI's president's committee until 2019, told Radio 4's World at One programme: "For any leader this is a wake up moment to make sure that we do root and branch reviews of our organisation and make sure that we've got the cultures in place that don't allow these sorts of behaviours to happen." Last week the boss of brewing company Adnams said his firm had considered leaving the CBI following the scandals. On Tuesday, chief executive Andy Wood said a decision would not be made until the full investigation was complete, but added he was encouraged by the action taken. "The allegations were very serious and there's clearly no room for that type of behaviour in any workplace," he told the BBC. "So it was right that we reviewed [our membership], but it's also right we give the organisation a chance to put its house back in order." The CBI lobbies politicians on firms' behalf to make policies that benefit UK businesses. It also hosts regular networking events for business leaders, with the UK chancellor typically giving the keynote speech at its annual dinner. According its most recently published accounts, £22m of its £25m income in 2021 came from membership fees. https://www.bbc.com/news/business-65238672

Scientists have spent five years classifying the size, mass and po[CENSORED]tion of all living organisms, and at the end they made a surprising discovery — that the tiniest and largest living entities on Earth dominate by sheer mass. To tackle this gargantuan task, the team, led by biologists from Rutgers University in New Jersey, and the University of British Columbia, divided life into 36 categories across terrestrial, marine and subterranean environments. Within each group, they identified the biggest, smallest and most common body size. Then, combining that information with pre-existing data on each group's biomass, they estimated how much of the Earth's biomass each category comprised. Forest plants had the highest biomass and amphibians had the lowest, according to their findings, which were published on March 29 in the journal PLOS One(opens in new tab). Study co-author Malin Pinsky(opens in new tab), an associate professor in the Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Natural Resources at Rutgers University, told Live Science that this sort of survey is "the first time this has ever been done." Related: How big can animals get? In the 1960s(opens in new tab), aquatic ecologists found total biomass concentration remained constant across wildly different scales, indicating that size was evenly distributed among various species. Pinsky said his team had expected to find "roughly the same amount of life at every body size" as previous studies also predicted. Instead, the results revealed that nature favors size at its extremes. "The world we see often seems like it's full of lots of small insects and butterflies," Pinksky said. "And yet, what we've discovered is actually those are sort of intermediate body sizes that aren't necessarily all that common." Rather, marine and soil bacteria, which are considered small, have more biomass than intermediately sized insects. The investigation also yielded that this pattern held across different types of species, and was even more evident in terrestrial creatures than marine dwellers. As for humans, Homo sapiens' size may be large relative to that of another species, but human biomass can't compete with other biological groups. Setting this survey apart from other similar projects is its incorporation of groups like undersea microbes and producers like kelp and sea grasses, which previous studies excluded, though they account for nearly half of ocean biomass. Among the 36 categories, which included lifeforms such as reptiles and mollusks, the most massive po[CENSORED]tions belonged to plants and bacteria. Of these, the smallest were microscopic bacteria while the largest included vast underground networks of fungi and tree roots. These groups collectively dwarf the biomass of animals such as humans, livestock and wild terrestrial animals. And while humans are relatively large and fit into the bigger end of the size spectrum, our biomass can't compete with that of soil and marine protists that are invisible to the eye. "Besides whales, there are no other organisms bigger than corals and mangroves," lead author Eden Tekwa(opens in new tab), a quantitative ecologist who began the research as a postdoctoral fellow at Rutgers, finished it at the University of British Columbia, and currently studies biodiversity as a research associate at McGill University in Canada, told Live Science. The study not only reveals how Earth's biomass is currently distributed , but also what the future may look like. Tekwa said the team quantified the amount of carbon in each group, and found smaller life forms generally have shorter lifespans, so their carbon is released into the atmosphere at a faster clip, potentially contributing to climate change. "It also gives us a way to understand how the biosphere changes within environments," Tekwa said. Fish are decreasing in size because of fishing and the warming climate. Studying how organism size trends with a changing environment offers insight on what kind of food sources will be available in the future. "Body size is one of the most basic characteristics of life on Earth," Pinsky said. "Understanding how life is distributed across different body sizes is fundamental to understanding life on Earth." https://www.livescience.com/the-smallest-and-largest-creatures-make-up-most-of-earths-biomass-surprising-study-finds

[News] British-Israeli shooting victim Lucy Dee's organs save five
-Artisan ツ posted a topic in News
Five people have received life-saving transplants from organs of a British-Israeli woman killed in a suspected Palestinian gun attack on Friday. The surgeries were carried out at two hospitals in Israel shortly before the funeral of Lucy Dee, 45, who died from her injuries on Monday. Two of her daughters were also killed in the attack as the family were driving in the occupied West Bank. The family moved to Israel from the UK nine years ago. Israel's National Transplant Center said a 51-year-old woman received Lucy Dee's heart; a 58-year-old woman one of her lungs; a 25-year-old man her liver; and a 58-year-old man and a 39-year-old man her kidneys. Her corneas have been preserved for future use. Lucy's husband, Rabbi Leo Dee, told the Times of Israel that the family made the decision to donate her organs because "everything... that is lifesaving should be given". Thousands of mourners attended Lucy Dee's funeral in the West Bank Jewish settlement of Kfar Etzion, where two days earlier her two daughters - Rina, 15, and Maia, 20 - were buried in similar emotionally charged scenes. Government ministers attended both funerals. On Monday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to "get all the evil terrorists who killed our citizens and they will be held accountable with no exception". Lucy, Rina and Maia were shot at as they were driving in the Jordan Valley on their way to a family holiday. Their vehicle crashed and the gunmen went up to the car and opened fire on the women at close range, Israeli media quoted investigators as saying. Israeli public broadcaster Kan reported that 22 bullet casings were found, apparently from a Kalashnikov assault rifle. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) launched a hunt for the perpetrators following the attack, which came at a time of spiralling tensions between Israel and the Palestinians. On Monday, a 15-year-old Palestinian boy, Mohammad Balhan, was shot dead by Israeli troops in Aqabat Jabr refugee camp near Jericho in the West Bank, Palestinian officials said. The Israeli military said its forces were carrying out an operation to arrest militants in the camp at the time, and that they had returned fire after being shot at and attacked with explosives. Since the start of this year, more than 90 Palestinians - militants and civilians - have been killed by Israeli forces. Eighteen Israelis, a Ukrainian and an Italian - all civilians, except for an Israeli paramilitary police officer - have been also killed in attacks by (or suspected to have been carried out by) Palestinians and, in one case, an Israeli Arab. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-65234553 -
Leaked filings made with the Chinese government have revealed the design of the new MG Cyberster, long before the electric sports car was due to be unveiled. Appearing in a set of images revealing its front and rear, the Cyberster is a sleek soft-top with two seats. The filings suggest it will measure 4535mm long, 1913mm wide and 1329mm high - slightly larger than the Porsche 718 Boxster and significantly bigger than the Mazda MX-5. Details of the Cyberster’s powertrain line-up were also detailed, revealing the Cyberster would be offered in both single- and dual-motor specifications. Entry-level, single-motor models offer 309bhp, while dual-motor models offer up to 536bhp. Weight varies depending on the specification, with single-motor variants tipping the scales at 1850kg. In its heaviest form, the Cyberster weighs 1985kg. Several wheel designs and badge styles were also revealed. Inside, meanwhile, the Cyberster makes use of a Tesla-style yoke steering wheel and several digital screens for infotainment and driving data. The Cyberster will be launched in 2024 with the aim of attracting new buyers in new segments. Autocar understands it won't be officially revealed at this month’s Shanghai motor show. Set to help MG continue its steep growth trajectory, the Cyberster will also significantly expand the brand's product portfolio as it approaches its centenary in 2024. In the 16 years since being acquired by the Chinese state-owned SAIC, MG has established itself as a leading maker of value-oriented yet well-equipped and safe family cars, selling more than 100,000 across Europe last year. Crucial to this goal will be the introduction of new cars. The MG 5 SW EV estate and ZS EV crossover are already among the most po[CENSORED]r EVs in Europe, and MG will look to build on this success by appealing to younger drivers and enthusiasts with an all-new product line, designated Cyber in reference to its five primary priorities: co-creating, young, beyond, evolution and recreation. The initiative was first outlined last year with the unveiling of the Cyberster concept – an electric roadster that at once nodded to MG’s heritage as a British sports car manufacturer and previewed the technical capabilities and functionality of its future cars. Cyberster production was approved after the Shanghai motor show as a result of a successful crowdfunding campaign in which more than 5000 prospective buyers signed up to MG’s interactive Cybercube platform, allowing them to inform development of the production car. It’s now set to be launched as part of MG’s centenary celebrations. A brand spokesman said: “We are working on a surprise for you guys. Of course we know we were the affordable sports car brand in the past, and now we are the new electric vehicle brand, and we will surprise you. We will be in markets that nobody has been in before.” Indeed, no mainstream brand has yet launched an affordable, convertible electric sports car. While some of the concept’s more outlandish features will be lost, MG’s UK design boss, Carl Gotham, hinted that a toned-down version will make it to dealerships, calling it “a bold statement that looks strongly into MG’s future, touching on our heritage but more importantly building on our cutting-edge technology and advanced design”. https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/official-mg-cyberster-design-revealed-chinese-government-filings

[Gadgest] The Best Phones Under Rs. 10,000 You Can Buy In India
-Artisan ツ posted a topic in Gadgets
When it comes to entry-level smartphones, the main focus has always remained similar over the years. These smartphones have always been about big displays and battery life but not much else. But with better hardware, this focus has deviated a bit over time. Apart from delivering the basics, bigger displays and batteries also mean that the focus is now on entertainment. A quality speaker or stereo speakers are a welcomed addition at this price. HD displays are common, but full-HD displays are still rare. Basic gaming is also possible in this segment and surprisingly, you can find high refresh rate displays as well. Our newest addition to the sub-Rs. 10,000 smartphone guide is the Infinix Hot 11S. Launched at Rs. 10,999, it recently received a price cut and is now available online at around Rs. 9,499. Here are the best smartphones in India under Rs. 10,000, in no particular order.

The phone looks modern and stylish and at first glance, it's tough to tell that it's actually a budget device. The 5,000mAh battery is also sufficient to deliver good battery life. While the SoC can handle basic multitasking and social apps, gaming isn't exactly its forte, which means you'll need to stick to casual games at best on this one. The cameras on the C31 could've been better and we didn't like the fact that Portrait mode only works with human subjects. We think it's best if you get the higher RAM and storage variant of the Realme C31, instead of the base model, since that price difference is not much and it should offer better performance in the long run. https://www.gadgets360.com/mobiles/guide/best-phone-under-10000-in-2022-india-3507441 -
Introduction The Nothing Phone (1) was definitely one of last year's hype beasts, but was that hype warranted, or is it, in the end, just a Nothingburger? Is there something to it, or is it simply Nothing to write home about? We'll stop now, but these puns really do write themselves. And that might be part of the reason why Nothing chose to call itself that. It makes no sense, everyone cries. And yet, it's instantly memorable, and if you're a startup, you definitely want to go for memorable over "that makes perfect sense" any day of the week. So that's how we ended up with a company that's definitely making something(s), despite calling itself Nothing. Its first smartphone was always inevitable, and it's also intriguing in its own right. It's a mid-ranger like many others, but it's also a mid-ranger unlike any other on the market still, with its huge focus on design - be that in the iPhone inspiration to it, or the unique rear look it brings to the table, along with the associated Glyph LEDs. It's not just the back, though - it's the only Android mid-ranger with truly symmetrical screen bezels still. What we have here, then, is a device hyped to the moon and back, with specs that are Nothing out of the ordinary (sorry, couldn't help it), and with a design that's at the same time heavily inspired by something and unique, which seems like the grandest possible contradiction, and yet it's not. It's been a long time since we went into a long-term review being this curious about the cliche-sounding 'what it's actually like to live with', considering all these factors. If you're also curious to find out how much of the hype is fluff-based, and how much is actually based on real qualities that this phone possesses; if you want to learn all about what it's like to use in early 2023, we have a few upcoming pages for you to consider. Without spoiling anything, we'll say one thing: this was definitely not a boring experience, as the Nothing Phone (1) is not a device to just slide into the background and sit there unnoticed, unremarkable. https://www.gsmarena.com/nothing_phone_1_long_term-review-2553.php
