Iheanacho’s late VAR penalty hands Celtic a dramatic comeback victory at Motherwell

Kelechi Iheanacho scored a penalty winner nine minutes into stoppage time after a video review, boosting Celtic’s Premiership defence thanks to a comeback win at Motherwell as the most dramatic title race in decades took another sensational twist.

Iheanacho slotted in a spot-kick after the former Hearts midfielder Sam Nicholson was penalised for handball after jumping to head the ball away. The ball appeared to hit his raised hand right in front of his head.

Cartel corruption claims push US-Mexico relations to breaking point

With Mexico under pressure from Trump to tackle drug trafficking groups, analysts say ‘it’s the most tense situation since the 1980s’

Relations between Mexico and the United States are being pushed to breaking point amid accusations by Washington that Mexican officials have been “in bed for years” with drug traffickers, and reports of CIA agents freely operating south of the border.

“There are many who are betting on the defeat and failure of the Mexican government,” said Claudia Sheinbaum tersely on Wednesday, when asked about the allegations at a news conference. ”We want a good relationship with the United States government. What are our limits? The defence of sovereignty and respect for the Mexican people and their dignity.”

Fragnesia Made Public As Latest Linux Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability

A new Linux local privilege escalation flaw called Fragnesia has been disclosed as a Dirty Frag-like vulnerability, allowing arbitrary byte writes into the kernel page cache of read-only files through a separate ESP/XFRM logic bug. Phoronix reports: Proof of concept code for Fragnesia is already out there. There is a two-line patch for addressing the issue within the Linux kernel's skbuff.c code. That patch hasn't yet been mainlined or picked up by any mainline kernel releases but presumably will be in short order for addressing this local privilege escalation issue. More details can be found here.

Radboudumc: bloedonderzoek toont dat personeel geen risico vormde

NIJMEGEN (ANP) - De twaalf medewerkers van het Radboudumc die uit voorzorg in quarantaine zitten omdat ze mogelijk zijn blootgesteld aan het hantavirus, zijn niet besmettelijk geweest voor anderen. "Bloedonderzoek heeft dit bevestigd", meldt het Nijmeegse ziekenhuis op een pagina met veelgestelde vragen over de situatie.

Deze week werd bekend dat het Radboudumc niet het juiste internationale voorschrift had gevolgd bij de behandeling van de patiënt met het hantavirus die vorige week in het ziekenhuis werd opgenomen. Tijdens het verwerken van afgenomen bloed en het afvoeren van urine zijn twaalf medewerkers daardoor mogelijk in aanraking gekomen met het virus. Het ziekenhuis meldde eerder al dat de kans op daadwerkelijke besmetting "heel klein" is.

Meer details over het bloedonderzoek heeft het ziekenhuis niet bekendgemaakt. Ook is niet bekend hoe het met de medewerkers gaat. "Met het oog op de privacy van onze medewerkers kunnen we hier niets over zeggen, anders dan dat zes weken in quarantaine gaan impact heeft", aldus het Radboudumc.

Make a circuit with me

The Digital Museum of Plugs and Sockets is exactly what it says on the tin. Information and photos about electrical connector standards around the world. A classic Web 1.0 site that's clearly a labor of love and asks nothing of the visitor, which is like a glass of cold water in whatever the Internet has turned into today.

It sounds like the owner no longer has the ability to maintain the site, and its future is in question.
