Saudi Arabia to open sports stadiums to women from 2018

Image
JEDDAH: Women’s empowerment will take another step forward at the beginning of 2018 when families are permitted inside stadiums and other sports facilities. It was one of a raft of decisions announced on Sunday by Turki Al-Asheikh, chairman of the General Sports Authority, aimed at supporting and stimulating the sports sector. The authority “will start rehabilitating the main stadiums in Riyadh, Dammam and Jeddah to be ready to receive families starting in 2018,” Al-Asheikh said. The move is part of Saudi Arabia’s efforts to engage women in society as an integral part of the development process. This month Al-Asheikh, who is also president of the Saudi Olympic Committee, appointed  Princess Reema bint Bandar president of the Saudi Federation for Community Sports. Princess Reema has also opened the new Studio 5 gym in Jeddah.  She seeks to encourage women to take exercise in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Why does Trump call everyone a dog?

Image
Every White House family in the last century has housed a presidential pup — every White House, that is, except President Trump's. More than a preference, perhaps it's because no dog would have him. Trump has a habit of speaking ill of man's best friend. Most recently Trump said retiring Republican gadfly Sen. Bob Corker "couldn't get elected dog catcher in Tennessee." And at least 33 other times on Twitter, the president has used canine-inspired vocabulary to attack his enemies.     Bob Corker, who helped President O give us the bad Iran Deal & couldn't get elected dog catcher in Tennessee, is now fighting Tax Cuts....— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 24, 2017 He talks about how his enemies in the media — a list that includes everyone from David Gregory to Glenn Beck, Chuck Todd to Erick Erickson — were "fired like a dog." Others have lied and cheated, been dumped and dropped, worked and whispered all "like a dog." That...

How To Stop Hackers From Guessing Your Password

Image
Your password shouldn’t be an easy guess, yet the word itself is the most common password used, according to the tech team at online electrical retailer AO.com. It’s vital that we remain careful to help protect personal details like emails, banking information, and personal content. So exactly where are most of us slipping up? Well, it’s by using words we deem confidential like surnames, pet names, or our date of birth. These common passwords can quite simply take hackers just a couple of seconds to crack. Here are 10 very common passwords to steer clear of: 123456 1234567890 123456789 1234567 qwerty password 12345678 123123 111111 987654321 Just last year The Telegraph reported that Microsoft decided to save us from ourselves by banning easy passwords altogether, instructing users to “choose a password that’s harder for people to guess”, if their first choice is deemed too easy to hack. Many platforms that use passwords even show users how strong their new password is by rating it ...

And if you aren't convinced, we're celebrating his birthday by t...

Image
When you're a popular male performer, there are times where some of your fans, particularly those who find themselves in the front row of your shows, might try and cop a feel.   That kind of action, while definitely inappropriate, is something that happens more often than most might think.

Hackers could exploit flaw in every wifi connection

Image
Every wifi connection in the world is vulnerable to a security flaw that hackers could use to spy on internet traffic, researchers have said. The vulnerability allows attackers to see passwords, credit card numbers and photographs sent over the network and release viruses into any device on it. Mobile phones, tablets with Google’s Android 6.0 operating system and computers using Linux are particularly at risk. The flaw is the first to be identified in encryption techniques that have been used to secure wifi networks for 14 years. An academic at the University of Leuven in Flanders discovered the vulnerability by accident while working on another paper. The Wi-Fi Alliance, an industry body, said it was already working with providers on software updates.

Scientists Confirm We Are Not living In A Computer Simulation

Image
SOME people fear we humans are nothing more than pickled brains floating in a glass bowl as we’re fed a false version of reality through a bundle of wires. Now a team of scientists at Oxford University has demolished the theory that we are all living in a computer simulation that’s been masterminded by alien overlords. Science fiction fans and modern philosophers have long debated whether the world is actually the same as we perceive it to be. Following the popularity of 90s classic The Matrix, many have questioned whether the philosophical “Brain in a Vat” scenario may actually be our reality. But the notion that a computer could create such a huge scale of simultaneous interactions is “impossible”, according to research published in Science Advances. After doing some mind-bending sums, Zohar Ringel and Dmitry Kovrizhi calculated that simply storing information about a couple of hundred electrons (very, very tiny particles) would need computer memory that requires more atoms that exis...

Did You Know: coffee(caffeine) improve your memory?

Image
What is caffeine? • Caffeine is a stimulant of the central nervous system, found in coffee, tea, cocoa, and cola drinks. Its action combats fatigue, but it is a comparatively mild drug It is also a “diuretic” i.e. it increases the urine output of the kidneys. Medically, caffeine is often included in headache pills, to counteract the dulling effect of the pain-killing ingredients. • Abuse of caffeine is unlikely because of the large quantities necessary, but those who drink considerable amounts of coffee probably have a mild psychic dependence, because of the feelings of tiredness experienced when the stimulation wears off. What are the research findings on coffee? 1) – A recent study published in 2014, conducted at John Hopkins University, shows that caffeine does improve memory. 2) – The journal Neurosciences found that when older adults consumed coffee, they demonstrated improved working memory compared to non-coffee-drinkers. 3) A third study found that bees who consumed caffeine, a...
