One of the world's most active volcanoes, Kilauea, on Hawaii's Big Island, has started erupting again. or signup to continue reading The eruption was confined to the volcano's summit caldera, in a remote, closed area of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, the Hawaii Volcano Observatory reported. Increased earthquake activity began at about 2am local time on Monday and within about half an hour webcam images began to show lava emerging through fissures in the caldera or spurting in fountains. The most immediate threat was from volcanic smog that could reach homes downwind, the observatory said. Such "vog" contains sulphur dioxide and can worsen symptoms for people who have conditions like asthma, other respiratory issues or cardiovascular disease. The area where the eruption is occurring has been closed to the public since 2007 due to hazards that include crater wall instability, ground cracking and rockfalls. Hawaii Volcanoes National Park encompasses the summits of two of the world's most active volcanoes: Kilauea and Mauna Loa. Kilauea also erupted in June and September.

Protestors target Sydney’s Great SynagogueIt's getting harder to stay on the PGA Tour. Here's whyThe United States offered a $10 million reward on Tuesday for information leading to the arrest of a Chinese man and co-conspirators wanted for hacking computer firewalls. Guan Tianfeng, 30, is believed to be living in China’s Sichuan Province, according to the State Department. An indictment charging Guan with conspiracy to commit computer fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud was unsealed on Tuesday. The Treasury Department said it had imposed sanctions on the company Guan worked for, Sichuan Silence Information Technology Co Ltd. Guan and co-conspirators at Sichuan Silence allegedly took advantage of a vulnerability in firewalls sold by UK-based cybersecurity company Sophos Ltd, according to the indictment. “The defendant and his co-conspirators exploited a vulnerability in tens of thousands of network security devices, infecting them with malware designed to steal information from victims around the world,” Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco said in a statement. Some 81,000 firewall devices were simultaneously attacked worldwide in April 2020, the indictment said, with the aim of stealing data, including usernames and passwords, while also attempting to infect the computers with ransomware. More than 23,000 firewalls were in the United States, of which 36 were protecting “critical infrastructure companies’ systems,” the Treasury said. “The zero-day vulnerability Guan Tianfeng and his co-conspirators found and exploited affected firewalls owned by businesses across the United States,” FBI agent Herbert Stapleton said. “If Sophos had not rapidly identified the vulnerability and deployed a comprehensive response, the damage could have been far more severe.” According to the indictment, Sichuan Silence sold its services and the data it obtained through hacking to Chinese businesses and to government entities, including the Ministry of Public Security.
Sharks visit the Kraken after Walman's 2-goal gameWine is always a good idea but there are a few not-so-obvious mistakes you might be making when choosing, storing and pouring the stuff. In an ongoing effort to get the most out of every bottle we've prodded experts about how to find the best wine for cheap and learned that wine does indeed stay fresher for longer after opening when stores in the fridge. To brush on common mistakes made related to wine, we asked Jerry Chandler, general manager of The Bohemian Wine Bar in Charlotte. Chandler also serves as a wine consultant for The Exchange at 36th and kindly talked us through five general common mistakes wine drinkers make that could be jeopardizing the bottle's full potential. Read more: 35 Best Wine Gifts for 2024, According to a Sommelier Perhaps most surprising was his suggestion to put red wine in the fridge briefly before pouring since many of us serve it a touch too warm. Here are five wine mistakes to avoid to help you get the most out of your next bottle. 1. Serving white wine too cold and red wine too warm Wine is often served too cold or too warm to express its full slate of aromatic compounds. We tend to drink white wine straight out of the refrigerator and red wine right off the counter, but both could benefit from coming a little more toward the center for an ideal serving temperature. Neither ice cold white wine nor too-warm red wine can express their aromatic compounds effectively. The flavors of white wine are more dynamic in the 40s or 50s (Fahrenheit) and red wines in the 50s or 60s. To achieve this, "it's okay to put red wine in the fridge for 10 or 15 minutes, just to get it a little bit cooler," Chandler says. Similarly, you can remove your white wine from the fridge 15 to 20 minutes before you intend to serve it, or just chill a room temperature bottle of white in a bucket of ice water for that same amount of time. "That's going to give you that temperature that's going to be in the 40s," he says, "but it's not going to be too cold." Note that ice plus water and salt will chill your bottle much faster than just ice alone. You can tuck a bottle into the freezer for a few minutes, "just don't forget about it, because you're going to burn that wine and a lot of the sugars are gonna separate," Chandler says. Sparkling wine can also do with a little temperature increase, but be aware of an increased degree of fizz as well. "It's going to be a bit more lively," he says, and give more of a pop when opened. 2. Popping sparkling wine incorrectly When uncorking Champagne, leave the cage on and use a gentle pull and twist. Speaking of which, while the pop of a bottle of Champagne or sparkling wine can be festive, it's reducing the carbonation in the bottle and also can be dangerous. Most sparkling wines are topped with a mushroom-shaped cork, plus a metal cage, which keeps the cork in place since the bottle's contents are pressurized. But that cage has another purpose. It can also help you open the bottle safely. It should be unscrewed and loosened, but left in place to help you remove the cork. "You use the sides of the cage to gently grip and twist. That's going to allow some of the pressure to slowly alleviate from the bottle," Chandler says, which releases the cork in a slower and more controlled fashion and preserves more of the carbon dioxide responsible for the bubbles. "I watch so many people just unscrew the cage and then take the cage off, and I always feel my heart skip a beat because you are allowing that cork to do anything it wishes, including blasting off in any direction, full speed," Chandler says. "Never remove that cage unless you're removing it with the cork." 3. Storing it improperly Wine should be kept somewhere dry, cool and away from direct sunlight. You don't have to have a wine cellar or wine collection to heed a few common sense practices when it comes to storing wine. Most wine in the U.S. is consumed within a few hours of purchase, in which case not a lot can go wrong, but even if you're keeping a bottle for a couple of days to save for a special occasion, "make sure you're being mindful," Chandler says, to ensure that whatever wine you have doesn't become a waste of money due to improper handling. Light, heat and motion can have an effect even on inexpensive bottles. "You don't ever want to leave wine where the temperatures will constantly fluctuate" Chandler says, which can be anywhere that gets direct sunlight at any part of the day. "You also don't want to leave it somewhere where it is constantly going to be moving," he says, which can disrupt any sediment and affect its flavor. Leaving a bottle of wine in a vehicle, for example, can expose it to extreme temperatures both high and low as well as subject it to excessive movement. The best way to store wine for more than a few hours is on its side in a consistently cool place that doesn't receive direct sunlight. 4. Being a packaging snob If you turn your nose up at wine with a screw top, you're going to miss out on a few excellent budget-friendly bottles. There may have been a time when the heaviness of the bottle or the type of closure used were guarantees of a wine's quality, but that is no longer the case. Along with other types of alcoholic beverages, wine has evolved to meet the moment, and matters of sustainability as well as improvements in technology have created more diverse packaging options. "Science has come a long way in preserving wine, especially over the past 20 years," Chandler says, but some people still hold prejudices about wine that's sealed with a screw top. ("Stelvin closure" to wine pros.) "You're not going to want to lay down a bottle for 20 years that has a screw top," he says, "but for wines that you're going to drink soon, a screw top is perfectly fine." Read more: Ask the Expert: How to Find a Great Wine on a Budget Many wine producers are actually decreasing their bottle weight as they've rolled out sustainability initiatives, and some major wine reviewers are refusing to rate wines whose bottles are above a certain weight. Both canned wine and boxed wine are also increasing in quality as those packages are also becoming championed with sustainability measures. Basically, wine has entered its "don't judge it by its cover" era. 5. Never leaving your comfort zone Adventurous wine drinkers have more fun. There are literally thousands of wine grape varieties, not to mention wine producers, yet most of us tend to drink the same few bottles on repeat. Because of the way wine is distributed in the US, it's difficult to find producers whose wines are consistently available from store to store. Or to find a bottle you loved at a restaurant on your local retail shelves. A lot of us tend to drink the same mass-produced brands and familiar grapes, because we can always find them. This too, is a mistake, in terms of getting the best bang for your buck, knowing what's actually in your bottle and expanding your palate. "With mass-produced wines I always think about what else is in there to keep them at that same consistent flavor profile," Chandler says. (Hint: it's more than just grapes.) Anything that has the kind of marketing budget for major advertising tends to represent wine made in conference rooms rather than in vineyards. It can be understandably hard to branch out, however. "When I first started learning wine, I only wanted to drink certain things because I didn't want to spend the money and risk it," Chandler says. Rather than focus on a few bottles, try to understand the flavor profiles you like and be willing to engage with wine pros in retail or restaurant settings that can use your preferences to introduce you to new things. "Wine is an endless experience," he says, "and we want people to be as excited to try this thing for the first time the way we were."Advisors Asset Management Inc.

Holstein Kiel will hope to use their home crowd at Holstein-Stadion to spur them to victory against Mainz 05 in the Bundesliga on Sunday, as they continue their quest for survival. The hosts have just five points from 10 games and are second last in 17th place, four points and two positions from automatic safety, while Karnevalsverein are 10th with 13 points after 10 matchweeks and beat Borussia Dortmund 3-1 on November 9. The home team lost 2-1 against Werder Bremen on November 9, a match in which Holstein Kiel faced three big chances while only creating one of their own. Manager Marcel Rapp chose to remain positive despite the fact his team conceded the winner against Werder Bremen in the 89th minute, saying: "I'm satisfied with the second half, of course not with the goal we conceded, we have to clarify that better." The Storks have managed to prevent their opponents from scoring fewer than two goals in just one of their 12 matches this term, and their record of 25 Bundesliga goals conceded is the second-worst tally in the top flight. Rapp's side emerged as 1-0 victors against Heidenheim on November 2, but that was their only win in their 11 most recent outings, with the club losing four of their past five games. Holstein Kiel have also been defeated in four of their five home fixtures this season, conceding on 14 occasions and netting just four times. As for the visitors, they were deserving winners against Borussia Dortmund given they created six big chances in comparison to BVB's one, though they were aided by the fact Emre Can was sent off in the 27th minute. Prior to their clash against Dortmund, Mainz had only created 15 big chances in nine league games, and their match against Nuri Sahin 's side was just the second time in their last five games that they had managed to score at all. Karnevalsverein head coach Bo Henriksen will be pleased with the result given it took his team five points clear of 16th-placed St Pauli, who occupy the division's relegation playoff spot, and perhaps the boss can look forward to challenging higher up the table considering the club are only three points from the Conference League qualification spot in sixth place. Henriksen will hope their triumph over Dortmund can mark the beginning of a sustained period of strong results, with the win being the team's first in their most recent five games. Mainz' form on the road has been excellent this campaign, and the club are unbeaten in their five away matches, winning three and drawing two. Holstein Kiel will be unable to start midfielder Magnus Knudsen as a result of accumulating too many yellow cards, while centre-backs Carl Johansson and Colin Kleine-Bekel are absent due to injuries. Rapp could field a back three of Marko Ivezic , Patrick Erras and Max Geschwill behind a midfield trio of Lewis Holtby , Nicolai Remberg and Armin Gigovic . Attacking midfielder Andu Yobel Kelati has been ruled out until early December, as has striker Benedikt Pichler , so expect Steven Skrzybski and Phil Harres to feature in a front two. Meanwhile, Mainz have a relatively healthy squad barring backup striker Nelson Weiper , who is not scheduled to return until early next month due to a muscle injury. Paul Nebel scored against Dortmund, and he is likely to appear in the forward line alongside Lee Jae-sung and Jonathan Burkardt . Henriksen may deploy a double pivot of Kaishu Sano and Nadiem Amiri in front of centre-backs Dominik Kohr , Moritz Jenz and Maxim Leitsch . Holstein Kiel possible starting lineup: Weiner; Ivezic, Erras, Geschwill; Becker, Holtby, Remberg, Gigovic, Puchacz; Skrzybski, Harres Mainz 05 possible starting lineup: Zentner; Kohr, Jenz, Leitsch; Caci, Sano, Amiri, Mwene; Nebel, Lee; Burkardt Given Holstein Kiel's poor defensive displays this season, they could concede at least twice once again on Sunday. Additionally, Mainz have been strong away from home in 2024-25, and they should be considered favourites.

Kurtis Rourke has made the Jon Cornish Trophy a family affair. The Indiana quarterback received the award Monday, which is presented annually to the top Canadian playing football in the NCAA. Rourke’s older brother, Nathan, currently with the CFL’s B.C. Lions, won the award twice in 2017 and 2018 at Ohio. “It’s awesome,” Rourke said. “Kind of getting introduced to the Jon Cornish Trophy back when Nathan won it a couple of times, I wanted to be able to have a shot and it was one of my goals to be in the conversation, be in the running. “It just means a ton to be recognized just because Canadian athletes don’t get recognized too often. I’m just so glad we’re able to get that recognition and continue to do it for our country.” Rourke finished first in voting ahead of Montreal’s Dariel Djabome, a junior linebacker at Rutgers. Stanford receiver Elic Ayomanor, last year’s winner, was third, followed by Vancouver’s Ty Benefield (sophomore safety, Boise State) and Jett Elad of Mississauga, Ont., a senior safety at UNLV. Cornish, of New Westminster, B.C., was a standout running back at Kansas who went on to have a decorated CFL career with the Calgary Stampeders (2007-15) before being inducted into the Canadian Football Hall of Fame in 2019. Rourke transferred to Indiana last December to boost his NFL draft stock after five years at Ohio, where he began as a backup to his older brother. The junior Rourke then captured the ‘22 MAC offensive player of the year award despite suffering a season-ending knee injury before heading to Indiana after the 2023 season. Rourke was instrumental in Indiana — traditionally known as a basketball school — emerging as a Big Ten contender in head coach Curt Cignetti’s first season. After winning 11 of their first 12 games, the Hoosiers’ stellar campaign ended with a 27-17 loss to Notre Dame in the opening game of the expanded U.S. college football playoff bracket. Rourke finished 20-of-33 passing for 215 yards with two touchdowns and an interception in that contest. Overall, Rourke completed 222 of 320 passes (69.4 per cent) for 3,042 yards with 29 TDs and five interceptions. “What a privilege, opportunity to come join a program that had so much to prove,” Rourke said. “It kind of aligned with what I was wanting to do, which was prove I could play at a higher level.” The six-foot-five, 223-pound Rourke was named a finalist for the Manning Award, presented annually to the NCAA’s top quarterback. He was also ninth in voting for the Heisman Trophy as U.S. college football’s outstanding player. “College football has been everything to me,” Rourke said. “Starting off my freshman year to be able to watch Nathan grow and play in his senior year and just learn from him in both how to live a college life but also be a college quarterback as well. “I won’t forget my time at Ohio at all, it really created me and moulded me into the person, player I am. I’m extremely grateful for the entire college football experience.” The former Holy Trinity star becomes just the second Canadian high school graduate to claim the Jon Cornish Trophy. Chuba Hubbard, of Sherwood Park, Alta., and currently with the NFL’s Carolina Panthers, did so in 2019 while at Oklahoma State. The six-foot-two, 240-pound Djabome recorded 102 tackles (48 solo), three sacks and two forced fumbles this season. Rutgers faces Kansas State in the Rate Bowl on Boxing Day. The six-foot-two, 210-pound Ayomanor, a redshirt junior, was one of the few bright spots this season for Stanford (3-9). He registered 63 catches for 831 yards and six TDs after recording 62 receptions for 1,013 yards and six touchdowns in 2023. Last week, Ayomanor declared for the ‘25 NFL draft. The six-foot-two, 204-pound Benefield led Boise State in tackles (73), solo tackles (53) and interceptions (two) while also registering five tackles for a loss, a forced fumble and two recoveries. The Broncos are the third seed in U.S. college football’s expanded playoffs and face Penn State in the Fiesta Bowl on Dec. 31. Elad registered 55 tackles, an interception and six pass knockdowns during the regular season. He added 12 tackles (nine solo) and a sack in the Runnin’ Rebels’ 24-13 win over Cal in the Art of Sport LA Bowl to finish with an 11-3 overall record. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 23, 2024. Read more NCAA football coverage at thestar.comBECAUSE of the rapidly changing times, traditional values that harp on integrity as a core pillar of personal conduct may be going out of fashion. Still, they hold self-evident truths that society can only trifle with or abandon at its own peril. In particular, the saying that honesty is the best policy illustrates the primacy of plainness in societal dealings, as the story of former Hearts of Oak midfielder Joe Tagoe, popularly known as Bobby Short, brings out most poignantly. Now in retirement, the Ghanaian football great recently admitted to falsifying his age during his football career, relating how his actions cost him so dearly. As Tagoe revealed during a television interview, in a bid to escape the poverty trap, he had reduced his age from 35 to 19 in 2017 to secure a spot with an Egyptian under-19 team. Indeed, in a desperate bid to hide his age, the midfielder dyed his grey hair daily, but as it turned out, he could not withstand the intense pressure of the game, and had to quit. Hear him: “I was home and received a call from Francis Martey (a fellow footballer) about an offer for an under-19 player. Looking at my height, I said okay. At that time, I was about 34 or 35 years old. Poverty can make you do such things, and the system isn’t fair to us. I would have died if I hadn’t taken care of myself. I trained with both the senior team and U-20s, but the running with the U-20s always left me dizzy. Many players like me face similar situations.” Around the world, age cheating in football is almost as old as the sport. That is why for Nigerians in particular, Tagoe’s story sounds eerily familiar. For instance, ahead of the 2009 Under-17 World Cup at which the Golden Eaglets emerged runners-up, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) almost got on a collision course with the world soccer-governing body, FIFA, over the use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to flush out age cheats. The test had already weeded out 15 age cheats from the Nigerian team, but the then NFF president, Sani Lulu, put up a stiff resistance, declaring that the federation would not use the FIFA-sanctioned method in detecting over-aged players. He said: “I will not use the MRI to disqualify my players. When we came on board to serve Nigerian people, we promised to eradicate age cheats in cadet championships. FIFA has not given us information on the MRI but I can only use it as a guide.” It took the intervention of the then Minister of Sports and Chairman of the National Sports Commission (NSC), Sani Ndanusa, to restore sanity. Pooh-poohing the NFF leadership’s decision to invite the parents of the players in camp to validate their ages, Ndanusa said: “We will not deviate from FIFA’s requirement in terms of ascertaining players’ age. The whole world has gone digital and we are following suit. We are no longer in the era of analog, so we are going to adhere to FIFA’s standard in ascertaining the ages of the players we are going to parade. FIFA has indicated the use of MRI, and we are going to just adhere to that, simple.” Actually, the MRI, although not without drawbacks, has been fairly effective in weeding out overage players over the years. In 2007, the Asian Football Confederation discovered that 10 players were above the age of 16 during an Under-15 tournament. Ahead of the 2009 FIFA Under-17 tournament, the Gambia Football Association found that a few players that had just failed the MRI scan had actually participated at the 2009 African Under-17 championship. According to FIFA, over the years, “over-age players had been wrongly entered into various youth competitions, often benefiting from an unfair advantage due to their greater physical maturity compared to players of the proper age.” That was why the body introduced the mandatory use of MRI during the 2009 Under-17 World Cup in order to determine the actual ages of the players presented by the various national teams. Back to Joe Tagoe’s confession. It is quite easy to join the football veteran in laughing at himself, but the issue he engages is an extremely serious one. Until recently, age cheating was a big problem in African football, particularly in cadet competitions, and the number of players who embarrassed themselves in Europe after getting signed by various clubs was considerable. Indeed, the malaise still goes on in the footballing world as many players, their agents and their parents seek to make cool cash through fraud. As Tagoe’s story demonstrates very clearly, age cheats in sports, or indeed any other field of human endeavour, are unfair even to themselves. They put their bodies through undue strain in order to gain advantage over others, and end up making cruel mockery of themselves. Tagoe’s self-deprecating story has taken some courage to tell, and its lessons are clear: age cheating is anathema in sports. Of course, the problem starts from the home front where undisciplined parents teach their children to lie, cheat and rob others at a very young age. And the situation is not helped by the actions of members of the political leadership, many of whom have biographies riddled with questionable claims. There have been instances where political leaders supposedly graduated from schools that did not even exist as of the time they claimed to have graduated from them. Such deception has a way of seeping through the pore of society and contaminating many people, including those down the pecking order. Any society that wants a massive turnaround must enthrone a transparent, honest and patriotic political leadership. Joe Tagoe’s story is instructive. It is hoped that up and coming athletes will learn from the experience of this veteran footballer and not see his story as mere comic relief. That would be quite tragic.

Natalia Poklonskaya bio: Who is the woman behind the meme?Commuters and tourists from West Kochi may have to wait until December 20 to use the Harbour Bridge that had been closed for traffic on November 21 for scooping out the worn-out tarred surface and to blacktop it afresh. According to schedule, resurfacing of the bridge that was built by the British in the early 1940’s was to get over in a week, by November 28. Commuters, tourism stakeholders, and others had expressed their discontent at the delay in commencing the resurfacing work, although the worn-out tarred surface had been scooped out in two days. The inordinate delay in completing resurfacing has worsened traffic hold-ups in the West Kochi-Ernakulam corridor, during the ongoing peak tourist season, said Jacob Antony, a social worker from West Kochi. All vehicles, including ambulances, were getting stuck indefinitely in snarls that often extend to alternative roads and bridges, he added. Citing the reason for the delay in completing the resurfacing of the bridge and its reopening, sources in the Public Works department (Bridges wing) said they were in for a surprise as the concrete surface of the bridge that emerged soon after the tarred layer was scooped out, had many cracks. “In this situation, officials of the design wing and others conducted a site inspection a couple of days ago. They suggested that a layer of mastic asphalt be applied atop the concrete surface to bring about uniformity of the surface and also to ensure that resurfacing that had been planned using bituminous concrete (BC) bound better with the concrete,” they said. A view of the closed Harbour Bridge on Saturday. | Photo Credit: THULASI KAKKAT The resurfacing using BC can be completed in a day. But the work to lay mastic asphalt is labour-intensive and hence time-consuming. “In this situation, we have sought the District Collector’s permission to extend the ban on traffic through the bridge till December 20, they said, and cited Vyttila and Kundannoor flyovers on the NH bypass as examples of structures, which had a layer of mastic asphalt between the concrete and the tarred portion. The proposed resurfacing would have an 18-month defect liability period. A month ago, the PWD (NH wing) had resurfaced the two-km-long Kundannoor bridge using stone mastic asphalt (SMA). On the long-pending work to replace the heavily rusted components of steel girders beneath the Harbour Bridge, sources said no contractor came forward to take up the work, although tenders were floated eight times. “We hope the government earmarks funds in the Budget for the work,” they added.
