![]() It offers eight concrete recommendations for the US government, working with the US private sector and allies and partners worldwide, to better protect the security and resilience of the world’s undersea cables: Congress should give more authorities and funding to the committee screening foreign cable owners for security risks, and should consider more funding for the Cable Ship Security Program the executive branch should promote baseline security standards for remote cable management systems the Federal Communications Commission should invest more resources in interagency cooperation on resilience threats to cables the State Department should pursue confidence-building measures for cables and conduct a study on building cables into more capacity-building work US-based cable owners should create an information sharing analysis center to share threat information and Amazon, Facebook, Google, and Microsoft should create and publish strategies on better protecting cables’ security and resilience.Īs the Internet comes under unprecedented authoritarian assault, and societal dependence on the web grows in the absence of robust and ecosystem-wide cybersecurity, the US government has an opportunity and responsibility to reinforce the global Internet’s positive potential by better protecting the submarine cables that underpin it. This report makes this argument drawing on policy and technological research, interviews with key stakeholders, and empirical data collected and subsequently analyzed on the 475 undersea cables deployed around the world (at the time of writing). Failing to do so will only leave these systems more vulnerable to espionage and to potential disruption that cuts off data flows and harms economic and national security. As the White House increasingly focuses on cybersecurity threats to the nation and the global community, including from the Chinese and Russian governments, it must prioritize investing in the security and resilience of the physical infrastructure that underpins Internet communication worldwide. The US government, therefore, has a new opportunity and responsibility-in coordination with the US private sector and with allies and partners abroad-to significantly increase its involvement in protecting the security and resilience of undersea cables. Third, the explosive growth of cloud computing has increased the volume and sensitivity of data crossing these cables. ![]() Second, more companies that manage undersea cables are using network management systems to centralize control over components (such as reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexers (ROADMs) and robotic patch bays in remote network operations centers), which introduces new levels of operational security risk. Three trends are increasing the risks to undersea cables’ security and resilience: First, authoritarian governments, especially in Beijing, are reshaping the Internet’s physical layout through companies that control Internet infrastructure, to route data more favorably, gain better control of internet chokepoints, and potentially gain espionage advantage. The construction of new submarine cables is a key part of the constantly changing physical topology of the Internet worldwide. ![]() ![]() The security and resilience of undersea cables and the data and services that move across them are an often understudied and underappreciated element of modern Internet geopolitics. These hundreds of cables, owned by combinations of private and state-owned entities, support everything from consumer shopping to government document sharing to scientific research on the Internet. ![]() The vast majority of intercontinental global Internet traffic-upwards of 95 percent-travels over undersea cables that run across the ocean floor. ![]() ![]() ![]() That's when I discovered that about 950 of my photos were in the Mac Trash. All I remember is that when I opened Photos from the dock, all my photos were missing except for a few very old ones located in the iPhotos folder. I haven't used my iMac since my brother passed away about 10 years ago. Or it could be that the pictures you deleted were not in the Photos app, but filed elsewhere - and ended up in the Mac's Trash? This could have happened, as I'm going through a learning process. ![]() My confusion may simply be that things have changed since El Capitan. So I ended up dragging all my photos from the Trash to my Photos icon on the Dock. I tried the "Put Back" option on a few photos, but these then went into some Shared Folder that I could never find (again, I'm not yet totally familiar with the iMac). My photos accidently went into the Mac trash, not the Photos trash. But the pictures shouldn't be in the Mac's Trash, as I stated above. I'm trying to understand which "Trash" you are referring to because in Photos' Trash, it offers to "Recover" or "Delete" whereas in the Mac's Trash, you have to Right Click on the items and then it comes up with "Put Back" as one of the options. Thus, I am confused by your use of the word "Trash" - the confusion is mine, not your fault. Still not sure how I did this, but henceforth I will be more careful with the keyboard and mouse. (Maybe they did in El Capitan - can't recall, but certainly not in any recent Operating Systems) In my case, initially there was no "Recently Deleted" folder.all my photos were in the Mac Trash. If you knew this and, in fact, consciously deleted them, then they are gone - they do not go into Mac's Trash. the photo was there and it said that it would remain for 40 days.ģ. Yes, as stated above, I did exactly that. To check if some/all are still there, Open Photos and on the Left Sidebar, under Library, look for "Recently Deleted" and click on that. It went into a Photos folder entitled "Recently Deleted".Ģ. I see that now, as I experimented and deleted a photo. And they will stay there for at least 30 days, possibly for ever.

Nowadays, the term ‘Jones fracture’ defines just one type of the fifth metatarsal fracture, that is a ‘Zone 2’ injury, and there are several misconceptions and controversies regarding the terminology and treatment of these injuries. Sir Robert Jones was the first who described the metaphyseal–diaphyseal (within 0.75 inches from the base) fifth metatarsal fracture in four patients in Liverpool in 1902, with himself sustaining the same injury while dancing ( 7). Besides football, other sports with an increased risk of suffering these fractures include soccer, basketball, and track and field athletes ( 4, 6). In elite athletes ( 4), a 5-year review from a single National Football League (NFL) team demonstrated an incidence of 3.42% ( 5). ![]() Noteworthy, the majority of young patients are males, whereas older patients are females ( 3). person-years, with patients most frequently presenting between 20 and 50 years of age ( 2). Their incidence has been reported as high as 1. Metatarsal fractures represent the most common injury of the foot, accounting for approximately 5–6% of all the fractures encountered in the primary care setting, with about 45–70% of these injuries involving the fifth metatarsal ( 1). Patients should be informed of the different treatment options and be part of the decision process, especially where time for recovery and returning to previous activities is of essence, such as in the case of high-performance, elite athletes. If treated operatively, anatomic reduction and intramedullary fixation with a single screw, with or without biologic augmentation, remains the ‘gold standard’ of management recent reports however report good outcomes with open reduction and internal fixation with specifically designed plating systems.Ĭommon surgical complications include hardware failure or irritation of the soft tissues, refracture, non-union, sural nerve injury, and chronic pain. Treatment of Zone 2 and 3 fractures remains controversial and should be individualized according to the patient’s needs and the ‘personality’ of the fracture. In the vast majority of patients, Zone 1 fractures are treated non-operatively with good outcomes. Even though fifth metatarsal fractures represent one of the most common injuries of the lower limb, there is no consensus regarding their classification and treatment, while the term ‘Jones’ fracture has been used inconsistently in the literature. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Congrats to the one and only "64 going on 14" David Johansen on the rave NY Times review of his show at Cafe Carlyle.Debbie Harry, David Johansen Headline 34th Annual John Lennon Tribute - Brian.Is David Johansen of the New York Dolls not on comment because that is just wrong - Junkyard Jesse.RisqueRadio - DJDevanti is playing David Johansen - She - RisqueRadio.Buster Pointdexter: "As a solo performer, there is a certain nobility that I try to maintain.

Healy’s actions sparked controversy online, with some fans complaining that the band’s actions will result in a further crackdown on artistic expression and make it more difficult for music artists to perform in Malaysia in the future. “However, never touch on the sensitivities of the community, especially those that are against the traditions and values of the local culture,” he said, according to the agency.ĬNN has reached out to the Malaysian Home Affairs Ministry and the Prime Minister’s Office for comment. “We sincerely apologize to all of our ticket holders, vendors, sponsors, and partners.”Ĭommunications Minister Fahmi said Malaysia was committed to supporting the development of creative industries and freedom of expression, Reuters reported.

The Good Vibes Festival said in a statement following the incident, “We deeply regret to announce that the remaining schedule of the Good Vibes Festival 2023, planned for today and tomorrow has been canceled following the controversial conduct and remarks made by UK artist Matty Healy from the band The 1975.” I’ll take your money, you can ban me, but I’ve done this before and it doesn’t feel good,” Healy says in the video before bassist Ross MacDonald walks up to him and kisses him on stage. “If you want to invite me here to do a show, you can f*** off. Healy added that the band considered canceling the show but decided against it to not disappoint the fans. You are young people, and I’m sure a lot of you are gay and progressive,” he said addressing the audience. And that’s not fair on you, because you’re not representative of your government. “Unfortunately, you don’t get a set of loads of uplifting songs because I’m f***ing furious.

Some of the circulating on the Internet, free codec packs are not mature or with malicious software. This makes more sense in most cases than manually in the Internet codec packs to search for. You can configure the Windows Media Player so that it automatically downloads and installs updates and codec enhancements from the Internet when available. You will see all codecs and file formats supported by the respective codec. Windows Media Player opens then a technical details list view in your browser.

The same would also be true if Apple were to implement the MPEG-4 SLS extension to the AAC codec. In other words, for the same reason that you get faster internet speeds when sitting right beside your wireless router than you do on the other side of your house, Bluetooth will also give you lower data rates when you’re not right beside your iPhone.Īs a result, even high-bitrate codecs like Sony’s proprietary LDAC can’t guarantee the highest quality - in fact, they’re specifically designed to “scale down” to lower lossy bitrates when they can’t maintain a fast enough Bluetooth connection. While some Bluetooth codecs have higher data rates that get closer to lossless quality, none of them can yet deliver the full bandwidth required for even CD-quality lossless audio, much less the newer hi-res formats.īluetooth connections also suffer from the same signal attenuation problems that Wi-Fi and cellular signals do - the farther away you get from the source, the lower the data rate. To be clear, this limitation applies to all wireless headphones. This makes sense, since Apple only uses the standard AAC codec over Bluetooth, and just like the AAC file format, that’s an entirely “lossy” codec, meaning that at least some audio fidelity is discarded to lower the data rate so that it can be streamed wirelessly to a set of headphones. As we explained in much more depth yesterday, you won’t be able to take advantage of Apple’s soon-to-be-upgraded lossless music catalog from any wireless headphones - including Apple’s own premium AirPods Max. ![]() |
