The test was also pre-planned, according to the US Defense Department spokesman“ ”
George Little quoted by Itar-Tass.
The Israeli Defense Ministry confirmed a US defense agency took part in a
successful flight test of the new version of the Sparrow target missile in an e-mail“ ”
statement to RT Arabic.
“Israel s Missile Defense Organization and the US Missile Defense Agency officials’
conducted the flight test. The main contractor for the integration and development of
the Sparrow is Rafael and the main contractor of the Arrow Weapon System is
MLM of Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) in conjunction with Boeing, the statement”
explained.
The Russian Defense Ministry initially reported that two ballistic objects were“ ”
picked up on radars in the central Mediterranean and were moving towards the East.
Later, citing a security source inside the Syrian government, RIA Novosti reported
that the rockets had fallen into the sea.
Meanwhile, Syria s missile detection system did not pick up any rockets landing on’
Syrian territory, a security source told Lebanese channel al-Manar TV.
Tipping the balance?
Tensions are running high in the Mediterranean as world powers discuss possible
military intervention in Syria after the reported use of chemical weapons in a
Damascus suburb on August 21.
The Syrian government has rejected claims of its complicity in the opposition-
controlled Damascus suburb of Ghouta and has called on the UN to protect it from
western aggression. In a letter to Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, the Assad regime
urged the UN to maintain its role as a safety valve to prevent the absurd use of force“
out of the frame of international legitimacy.”
Russia has slammed US plans to launch a military strike on Syria, as they would
thwart attempts to end the conflict peacefully.
"If the action announced by the US president to the great regret of all of us does– –
in fact take place... it will put off the chances of [holding] this conference for a long
time, if not forever,"said Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)

The document discusses open source information and fact-finding in the post-truth era. It provides examples of open source evidence like photos, videos, and satellite imagery that have been used to analyze and verify events in conflicts in Syria and Turkey. Key events discussed include the 2016 Turkish coup attempt, Russian airstrikes in Syria, and damage to a critical water treatment plant in Aleppo, Syria.
Why The U S Bombed Al Jazeera
The US bombed al-Jazeera's office in Kabul before the Northern Alliance took control of the city. This was likely a deliberate attempt to disrupt al-Jazeera's critical coverage of the US war in Afghanistan. Al-Jazeera had become a target for broadcasting interviews with Osama bin Laden and exposing human rights abuses. The bombing ensured that any violence by the Northern Alliance went unreported and traumatized al-Jazeera's Kabul correspondent. The US provided contradictory explanations for the attack and had previously targeted other news organizations like RTS in Serbia, suggesting an intent to disrupt unfavorable media coverage.
Updated Situation on Russia's Invasion on Ukraine
This document provides an overview and timeline of the ongoing Ukraine crisis. It includes links to maps showing Russian troop movements near Ukraine in January 2022, reports of Russian military deployment in Belarus, and past analyses from 2015 predicting scenarios for a potential Russian invasion of Ukraine. US and NATO intelligence assessments on the likelihood of a Russian invasion are referenced. The document also provides background on Ukraine's political divisions and economic differences between regions. A brief timeline outlines key events from Putin's July 2021 article on Ukrainian-Russian unity to Russia's recognition of separatist territories and invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
The South Ossetia War
The South Ossetia War began in August 2008 when clashes between Georgian and South Ossetian forces prompted Georgia to launch an aerial bombardment and ground attack on South Ossetia. In response, Russia poured troops into South Ossetia and launched bombing raids in South Ossetia and other parts of Georgia. Fighting involved Georgian, Russian, and South Ossetian forces, as well as clashes in Abkhazia. The conflict ended after Russia recognized South Ossetia and Abkhazia as independent states, expelled most ethnic Georgians from the regions, and signed a peace plan to withdraw forces.

The document summarizes the situation in southeast Ukraine from May 19-25, 2016. It reports that Russian-backed forces violated the ceasefire over 5,800 times that year and used heavy weapons on 1,319 occasions, restricting OSCE monitors. Possible future scenarios for Russia include pushing Ukrainian forces back or establishing a land corridor to Crimea. The document identifies Russian military commanders in eastern Ukraine and notes Russia is training forces to use new drones and electronic warfare equipment. It concludes Russia seeks to renew influence over former Soviet states and avoid further NATO expansion while using the conflict in Ukraine to undermine Ukraine and legitimize annexing Crimea.
Russian Airstrikes in Syria Maps: Sept. 30, 2015-Sept. 19, 2016
ISW has produced nearly 60 maps on Russian airstrikes in Syria since they first began on September 30, 2015. The first map appeared less than 24 hours after the Russians began strikes and they continue today as do the strikes despite repeated "cessations of hostilities" and an alleged Russian withdrawal.
These maps quickly became the media's trusted source for the locations of Russian airstrikes and appeared around the world in major media outlets in print, broadcast, and online. These maps helped show the world that Russia's claims of striking "terrorists" were clearly not accurate as they repeatedly attacked mainstream opposition groups, particularly those working with the West. When intentionally false maps were produced by the Russian Ministry of Defense to show where they claimed strikes were occurring -- and that they were striking ISIS -- ISW's maps and analysis showed these claims to be untrue.

US troops arrived in Turkey to operate two Patriot missile batteries along the border with Syria. The missile batteries are intended to defend Turkey from potential missile attacks from Syria by intercepting incoming missiles and aircraft. This deployment follows artillery and air attacks from Syria into Turkey and aims to address Turkey's missile defense needs during the ongoing conflict in Syria. Around 400 US troops will be involved in operating and supporting the Patriot missile batteries as part of NATO efforts to stabilize the region and protect Turkey amid the violence in Syria.

2. The incident has moved the conflict between Ukraine and Russia from political to military spheres. Ukraine's Prime Minister called for a commission to investigate at the defense ministry level, as outlined in the Budapest Memorandum.
3. Ukraine has permitted its military units in Crimea to use weapons in self-defense following the soldier's death. Attacks on Ukrainian military sites in Crimea by pro-Russian forces continued the next day.

Syria has only delivered 4.1% of its chemical weapons stockpile and will miss the deadline of removing all chemicals by next week. The two shipments totaling 4.1% of the 1,300 metric tons reported were delivered to the port of Latakia this month. The U.N. Secretary-General and sources say Syria needs to speed up the process as it is now 6-8 weeks behind schedule. During a meeting on Thursday, Syria will be told it must show it is serious about relinquishing its chemical weapons.

The US has greatly reduced the scale of its participation in a joint military exercise with Israel scheduled for late October. The US will send only 1,500 troops, down from the originally planned 5,000 troops. Patriot anti-missile systems will be sent but the crews to operate them will not. Only one Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense warship may be dispatched instead of the originally planned two. The scaling back coincides with tensions between the US and Israel over the possibility of an Israeli strike on Iran's nuclear facilities.

Popular “wonder drugs” may cause cancer
The New York Times hailed them as “wonder drugs.” Doctors use them as the first line of defense against heart attack, stroke, inflammation and whatever else they can make sound dreadful and scary. Despite the spin, cholesterol lowering drugs (fibrates and statins) are proving to be not so wonderful. As outlined in the book, Over-The-Counter Natural Cures, by Shane Ellison, MS continuing research showed how these blockbusters failed to prevent heart attack and stroke to any clinical significance. But that’s not the worst part. There’s seems to be a “little” problem with cancer.
Popular “wonder drugs” may cause cancer
Popular cholesterol-lowering drugs like statins and fibrates that were once hailed as "wonder drugs" have been shown to potentially cause cancer in both rodent studies and some human studies. Research has found that these drugs cause cancer in rodents at equivalent human doses, and some clinical trials have found higher cancer rates among those taking pravastatin and a significant increased risk of breast cancer among women taking pravastatin. One mechanism identified is that statins mimic a substance that promotes cancer growth and spread. However, the drug companies only fund short-term studies of 5 years or less, which is not enough time to detect cancer risks, allowing this risk to go unnoticed by the mainstream.

In a 205-217 vote the House defeated an amendment introduced by Rep. Justin Amash (R-Michigan) which would have prevented the NSA from collecting the phone data of individuals not currently under investigation.
Popular “wonder drugs” may cause cancer
The New York Times hailed them as “wonder drugs.” Doctors use them as the first line of defense against heart attack, stroke, inflammation and whatever else they can make sound dreadful and scary. Despite the spin, cholesterol lowering drugs (fibrates and statins) are proving to be not so wonderful. As outlined in the book, Over-The-Counter Natural Cures, by Shane Ellison, MS continuing research showed how these blockbusters failed to prevent heart attack and stroke to any clinical significance. But that’s not the worst part. There’s seems to be a “little” problem with cancer.
Popular “wonder drugs” may cause cancer
Popular cholesterol-lowering drugs like statins and fibrates that were once hailed as "wonder drugs" have been shown to potentially cause cancer in both rodent studies and some human studies. Research has found that these drugs cause cancer in rodents at equivalent human doses, and some clinical trials have found higher cancer rates among those taking pravastatin and a significant increased risk of breast cancer among women taking pravastatin. One mechanism identified is that statins mimic a substance that promotes cancer growth and spread. However, the drug companies only fund short-term studies of 5 years or less, which is not enough time to detect cancer risks, allowing this risk to go unnoticed by the mainstream.

Popular cholesterol-lowering drugs like statins and fibrates that were once hailed as "wonder drugs" have been shown to potentially cause cancer in both rodent studies and some human studies. Studies in rodents found these drugs caused cancer at equivalent human doses, however this risk is downplayed in drug references. Some experts have raised concerns that these drugs should be considered potential human carcinogens given the risks. While the link to cancer in humans is uncertain, some studies have shown increased cancer diagnoses and higher breast cancer risks among those taking cholesterol-lowering drugs. One mechanism identified is that statins can mimic a substance involved in tumor growth and spread. However, the cancer risks may remain obscured as drug trials are typically only 5
What the mainstream is not telling you about trayvon martin and george zimmerman
1) The mainstream media selectively reports on tragic events like the Trayvon Martin shooting based on what will garner the most attention, rather than addressing more numerous but less covered tragedies.
2) Television has a powerful influence over society, with the average American watching over 4 hours per day. Prolonged TV watching is linked to negative health effects, desensitization to violence, and less time spent on other meaningful activities.
3) The mainstream media uses techniques like dividing people into "us vs. them" to stoke fear and prevent meaningful discussions about issues like war, violence, and their underlying causes. This shapes public views and priorities in ways that maintain the status quo.
What’s the worst meal in the u.s.?
The worst restaurant meal in America is not a burger and fries, but fried fish and dough, one advocacy group says.
Out of all the unhealthy food choices out there, a meal at the fast-food seafood restaurant Long John Silver's — the "Big Catch with Onion Rings" — won the title of worst restaurant meal, according to Center for Science and the Public interest, a consumer advocacy organization.

India first south asian country to ban cosmetics testing on animals
India has become the first country in South Asia to ban cosmetics testing on animals. The Bureau of Indian Standards has approved removing any mention of animal tests from its cosmetics standard, making non-animal alternative tests mandatory instead of invasive animal tests. This landmark ban was achieved through campaigning by Humane Society International's Be Cruelty-Free India campaign and support from Indian politicians. However, more work remains, as imported cosmetics that were tested on animals abroad can still be sold in India.
Terror in moscow
On a drizzly Wednesday night in October several hundred people were watching a musical at the Ball-Bearing Factory Theater in Moscow. The show was a romantic love story set in Stalin’s Russia. As the audience settled down to the second half of the show, dozens of heavily-armed men and women laden with explosives arrived at the theater in three vans. The attackers raked the foyer with gunfire and swarmed into the building. Inside the auditorium, the theatergoers were watching the show, and heard nothing.
Fizzy drinks can cause people to faint or suffer an irregular heartbeat
Drinking excessive amounts of cola can cause people to faint or suffer an irregular heartbeat, reveals new research.
Researchers found downing large amounts of cola drinks can cause unusual fainting and symptoms of irregular heartbeat, also known as arrhythmia, as well as causing people to pile on the pounds.
A case study was presented at the EHRA Europace 2013 meeting in Athens.

According to UK 's Department of Health and Food Standards Agency (FSA) policy and Public health minister Anna Soubry red warning logos will appear on food considered ‘bad’ for health under a new traffic light labeling scheme.
The color will signal products that are high in fat, saturated fat, sugar and salt as part of an anti-obesity drive designed to encourage healthy eating. Amber and green will indicate foods deemed ‘medium’ or ‘good’ in terms of health value.
Your tap water is probably laced with antidepressants
The idea that we’re being unwittingly drugged when we drink a glass of ordinary tap water smacks of dystopian science fiction or political conspiracy theory. Accusations that Communists were spiking America’s water with sedatives—under the cover of the federally instituted fluoridation program—were such a staple of Cold War–era paranoia that Stanley Kubrick satirized it in his 1964 masterpiece, Dr. Strangelove. While such fear-mongering may seem quaint, what’s truly ironic is that Americans today are consuming prescription drugs—including addictive psychoactive ones—via the water supply. Who knew?
There’s a good chance that if you live in an urban area, your tap water is laced with tiny amounts of antidepressants (mostly SSRIs like Prozac and Effexor), benzodiazepines (like Klonopin, used to reduce symptoms of substance withdrawal) and anticonvulsants (like Topomax, used to treat addiction to alcohol, nicotine, food and even cocaine and crystal meth). Such are the implications of environmental studies that have been leaking out over the past decade.
Alarming new study of monsanto feed on pigs
UK Environment officials praise GMO crops as ‘safer than conventional’ ones, but a recent study reveals more sobering evidence that the world urgently needs to ask fundamental safety questions about genetic engineering of the human food chain.
The first long term study of the effects on inner organs from a diet of Monsanto GMO maize and GMO soya has just been released. The results are shocking and validate the September 2012 long-term study by Prof. Gilles-Eric Seralini of the effects on rats of a diet of GMO Maize.

There is less faith now in the public education system than there ever has been. Homeschooling has increased by 75 percent in the last 14 years, according to a recent report in Education News. Homeschooling is growing seven times faster than a K-12 public education. Researchers predict that the homeschooling boom will continue to explode over the next 10 years, as parents seek to provide their son/daughter with a better education, one that is less controlling and less controlled.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Israel claims joint us missile launch in mediterranean for ‘target practice’
- 1. Israel Claims Joint US Missile Launch in Mediterranean for ‘Target Practice’ Israel says it carried out a joint US missile launch in the Mediterranean, having“ ” earlier claimed ignorance. Russian radars detected two ballistic rockets fired in the region on Tuesday, sparking widespread speculation over who was behind the launch. A spokesperson for the Israeli army confirmed that a launch of a missile had been carried out 9:15am local time (06:15 GMT), adding that US forces in the Mediterranean had been given prior warning of the drill. A fighter jet launched an Ankor-type ( Sparrow ) missile as part of a drill to test the“ ” Israeli missile defense system. However, earlier, when the Russian government announced it had detected the firing of "two ballistic objects" in the area, Israel insisted it had no information on this issue yet.“ ” Despite Israeli claimed of a joint US missile launch, the American Navy“ ” maintained that no rockets were launched by US forces in the region. "No missiles were fired from US ships in the Mediterranean," said the spokesman, who made no further comment on the matter. Other members of the international community were quick to follow suit with France, UK and Italy denying any knowledge of the test launch. NATO said it was investigating the incident. The Pentagon later admitted that the Israeli missile test in the Mediterranean was
- 2. carried out with technical support of the US Defense Department.“ ” The test was also pre-planned, according to the US Defense Department spokesman“ ” George Little quoted by Itar-Tass. The Israeli Defense Ministry confirmed a US defense agency took part in a successful flight test of the new version of the Sparrow target missile in an e-mail“ ” statement to RT Arabic. “Israel s Missile Defense Organization and the US Missile Defense Agency officials’ conducted the flight test. The main contractor for the integration and development of the Sparrow is Rafael and the main contractor of the Arrow Weapon System is MLM of Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) in conjunction with Boeing, the statement” explained. The Russian Defense Ministry initially reported that two ballistic objects were“ ” picked up on radars in the central Mediterranean and were moving towards the East. Later, citing a security source inside the Syrian government, RIA Novosti reported that the rockets had fallen into the sea. Meanwhile, Syria s missile detection system did not pick up any rockets landing on’ Syrian territory, a security source told Lebanese channel al-Manar TV. Tipping the balance? Tensions are running high in the Mediterranean as world powers discuss possible military intervention in Syria after the reported use of chemical weapons in a Damascus suburb on August 21. The Syrian government has rejected claims of its complicity in the opposition- controlled Damascus suburb of Ghouta and has called on the UN to protect it from western aggression. In a letter to Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, the Assad regime urged the UN to maintain its role as a safety valve to prevent the absurd use of force“ out of the frame of international legitimacy.” Russia has slammed US plans to launch a military strike on Syria, as they would thwart attempts to end the conflict peacefully. "If the action announced by the US president to the great regret of all of us does– – in fact take place... it will put off the chances of [holding] this conference for a long time, if not forever,"said Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
- 3. Moreover, Syrian President Bashar Assad has warned that a military strike on Syria by the West would send the situation spiraling out of control and trigger a regional conflict. “The Middle East is barrel of powder and today the flames are creeping closer. It is not just a question of the Syrian response, but what else might happen after the first [Western] air strike, Assad told French newspaper Le Figaro.”
