Way back in 1587, the feudal overlord decided to give a party to celebrate the completion of his new castle. The drunken guests began to dance their way to the castle. Once they had recovered from their hangovers, it was decided to make it an annual event and call it The Dance of the Fools, or Awa Odori

Relatives try to piece together information found online and from Nepal as Tibet advocates groups say information is suppressed in China
Fan Hong last heard from her husband on the morning of the Nepal-Tibet disaster. More than a week later, the 31-year-old is desperately searching for information about Lin Bo, who was working on a Chinese highway project in Tibet. Struggling to get information from authorities, Fan turned to social media for help.
“My husband works on a project in Nepal, about 5 kilometres from the Gyirong border crossing. I want to know what the situation is, but I haven’t been able to reach him,” the 31-year-old from China’s Sichuan province wrote on Rednote.

Het was voor De Jong, die op de wereldranglijst op de honderdste plaats staat, de eerste keer dat hij op de US Open in de tweede ronde stond. In de eerste ronde had hij gewonnen van de Italiaan Francesco Passaro.
NEW YORK (ANP) - Tennisser Botic van de Zandschulp heeft op de US Open voor een grote verrassing gezorgd door de als zesde geplaatste Australiër Alex de Minaur uit te schakelen. De 30-jarige Nederlander won de partij in de tweede ronde in New York in drie sets: 6-4 7-5 6-2.
Van de Zandschulp, de nummer 70 van de wereld, won in de eerste ronde van de Brit Jan Choinski. In 2021 haalde Van de Zandschulp de kwartfinales van de US Open, zijn beste prestatie in New York tot op heden. De Minaur is de nummer 7 van de wereldranglijst. De 27-jarige Australiër bereikte de afgelopen twee jaar de kwartfinales in New York en had de vier eerdere ontmoetingen met Van de Zandschulp gewonnen.
In de derde ronde neemt Van de Zandschulp het op tegen de winnaar van de partij tussen de Belg Zizou Bergs en zijn landgenoot Jesper de Jong.
WASHINGTON (ANP) - De Amerikaanse president Donald Trump heeft Adam Telle benoemd tot de nieuwe minister van het Leger. Dat meldt Trump op Truth Social.
Trump noemt Telle "een groot patriot die door iedereen wordt gewaardeerd". Telle volgt daarmee Dan Driscoll op die maandag zijn ontslag had ingediend na maanden van spanningen met minister van Defensie Pete Hegseth. Driscolls besluit volgde op een reeks wijzigingen in de legerleiding en ontslagen binnen de krijgsmacht.
Het Witte Huis ging afgelopen week niet inhoudelijk in op Driscolls beweegredenen om op te stappen als "Army Secretary".
Telles voorganger Driscoll verwierf met name bekendheid toen hij door Trump werd aangewezen om deel te nemen aan gesprekken met Moskou en Kyiv over het beëindigen van de oorlog in Oekraïne. Dat werd destijds gezien als een ongebruikelijke taak voor een minister van het Leger.
Cisco has warned its customers of three critical-rated flaws in its products. Two of them are present in the Cisco IOS XR operating system that powers the company’s carrier-grade kit. CVE-2026-20274 scores 9.8 on the ten-point CVSS scale and covers a buffet of buffering issues, the potential for out-of-bounds writes, and the chance to initialize resources with an insecure default. CVE-2026-20279 is another 9.8-rated flaw. Cisco says it’s an improper access control problem that covers “improper certificate validation, missing authentication for critical function, missing authorization, and incorrect authorization.” Cisco also spotted a trio of 8.8-rated flaws, plus another rated 8.6 and one more scored at 8.2 The company’s advisory says the company found the flaws after “a comprehensive internal security review,” language that perhaps hints at Cisco dabbling with Mythos and/or other bug-finding models. The fix is in: Cisco has published new versions of IOS XR that fix the problems and “strongly recommends” customers adopt them. Cisco’s support organization spotted the third critical flaw it revealed on Wednesday. CVE-2026-20212 is a tad embarrassing because the cause is a bad integration with Cisco’s own Silicon One networking processors that means some Nexus 9000 Series Switches “could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute code with root privileges.” “This vulnerability exists because TCP ports 43210 and 43211 are accessible in the default Layer 3 (L3) virtual routing and forwarding (VRF),” according to Cisco’s advisory. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to connect to an affected device and send crafted input that could be executed as code with root privileges. The exploitation of this vulnerability could also cause the S1HAL process to crash, which could cause the device to reload.” Ten Nexus 9000 devices have the problem, which Cisco suggests owners mitigate by using infrastructure access control lists (iACLs) to allow only required management and control plane traffic that is destined to the affected device. “Alternatively, the iACLs may be used to explicitly deny all TCP packets that are destined to a locally configured IP address with a destination port of 43210 or 43211,” the company advises. The networking giant suggests that approach because it hasn’t yet created a software update to fix the flaw once and for all. The company has, however, delivered a download that helps to implement the mitigation. Cisco hasn't seen attacks on these flaws. That may change, fast, now that evildoers can use AI to whip up nastyware. ®
