Eddie Howe is promising change at Newcastle United, to imprint his footballing philosophy onto a struggling side.

I wont come here and deviate too far from my style of football, Howe said at his unveiling earlier this month. But I recognise there are certain limitations and it will take gradual steps.

A fresh approach is certainly welcome at a club that has been mired in relegation battles for years, are winless this season and are already five points adrift of safety. But after two years of constant chopping and changing under Steve Bruce, it will take time for the Newcastle squad to acclimatise to a new outlook.

So, what exactly does the new head coach want from his players? What should Newcastle fans expect from an Eddie Howe side? And how quickly can he implement his ideas?

Howes style and preferred formation

For the majority of Howes Bournemouth tenure, his preference for offensive football was evident.

For those peak years, we were fearless, says Simon Francis, the former Bournemouth right-back. We were progressive and front-foot. We pressed, our first pass had to be forward and we thought we could beat anybody. That might sound naive, but we had to have that mindset.

Howe says his style is based on what I like to watch myself. But by the end of 2019-20, his Bournemouth side, who had become reliant on counter-attacking, were not immediately recognisable as the same team that surprised the top flight with their brave play following promotion in 2015.

Just for the birds: The trumpet in the orchestra of evolution - Idaho Press-Tribune

Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall may not be the first royal who springs to mind when you consider fashion icons Jordan's Queen Rania, Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge and Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, have the proverbial style crowns but there is no doubt she has grown into her role in the public eye with grace.

Married to Prince Charles, the heir to the British throne, the duchess is rarely seen off duty. A hard-working but approachable royal, she dresses for the occasion when it comes to her engagements.

Tartan and tweed coats, to protect her from brisk British weather, are favourites of Camilla's, and in recent years, relaxed floral dresses have been a go-to for daytime commitments.

Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, wearing Anna Valentine, leave St George's Chapel in Windsor following the church blessing of their civil wedding ceremony, April 9, 2005. AFP

This week, she is in Jordan and Egypt for a four-day royal tour. During the visit, Camilla has sported a design by British designer Fiona Clare, paired with pale high heels and a beige handbag by Bottega Veneta.

Anna Valentine is a favourite designer of the royal. Not only did Valentine design the two outfits for her 2005 wedding to Prince Charles, but the designer is also behind the all-white flowing trouser and top ensemble she wore on day two of her Jordan trip, when she attended the Centenary Celebration of the founding of the Jordanian state in Amman, and the pink look she wore to arrive in Cairo, Egypt.

No stranger to a hat, Camilla often chooses to top her outfits with a little millinery, opting for larger-than-life designs, often by Philip Treacy, for formal events.

The man, the myth and the mullet himself, Mike Gundy, said the magic words every OSU fan has (probably) been dying to hear all season Wednesday in a media appearance with Joel Klatt.

Im looking forward to signing [Jim Knowles] to a long-term contract after this season and keeping him with us. Hes settled in here in Stillwater, really likes the community, and obviously the people here are really fond of him, said Gundy. [Jim] has been with us four years. Weve made changes. Coach Knowles understands concepts, schemes, and he has been able to adapt. Hes changed concepts and schemes based on our personnel and the teams we play. Hes done a great job.

Of course, Knowles will have to agree to the new deal no guarantee given how hot his stock is right now but Gundy did strike an optimistic tone talking about locking up his defensive coordinator.

Here are a few other highlights from his conversation with Klatt (which you can watch here.)

Pankaj Tripathi Shares His Views On The Rapid Change In The Audience Over The Years(Photo Credit: Ians)

The landscape of our cinematic stories has rapidly changed over the years as now unconventional stories too are making inroads into the mainstream sphere. Pankaj Tripathis astronomical rise has been synonymous with the audiences changed tastes.

The actor holds an equal prowess when it comes to mainstream and middle of the road cinema and films like Masaan, Gangs of Wasseypur, Newton, Bareilly Ki Barfi, Fukrey Returns, Ludo and several others serve as testimony to the fact.

In a recent conversation with IANS, the actor spoke about the change in audiences sensibilities towards our stories and the blurring lines between mainstream and parallel cinema. Tripathi says, I feel the lines between mainstream and parallel cinema will keep getting blurred and that shows the growth and evolution of our audience, they are now open to a broad range of subjects.

He credits the internet for bringing in a new wave of content as he says, Because of the access to the internet and the audience has now an option of watching a lot of content they are now witnessing content pieces from across the globe. A lot of young energy is entering the content medium, a lot of new directors and writers have entered the system and are pushing the envelope with their creative choices. The evolution of the audience has made it easier to tell different stories and has enabled us to make some brave creative choices.

The conversation then takes a turn down the sunset boulevard of memories where he speaks about his alma mater the National School of Drama. NSD, which is Asias biggest acting institute was established with the vision of strengthening the space of theatres across the country but, with plays happening in just two languages majorly; the global language of English and the nationally popular language of Hindi, a lot of students coming from remote areas of northeast or down south find it a bit challenging.

When probed if theres a language barrier that makes the vision of NSD incongruent with its functioning, the actor explains it through an analogy.

Pankaj Tripathi says, See, a doctor can study medicine in either Hindi aur English but when it comes to application, practise or talking to patients, they do it in their local language. Similarly, one learns the craft in NSD and that can be easily learnt in English or Hindi. An artist can then use that craft to his strength in their local language. Ratan Thiyam, an NSD alumnus has been doing plays in Manipuri for years together and has been strengthening the Manipur theatre ecosystem with his work.

However, he does admit that the language barrier can pose a challenge to some actors as he says, I agree that the actor might face some troubles initially in terms of the language like I remember there was my batchmate Abdul Qadir, he was a brilliant actor but since he wasnt well versed in Hindi, he didnt get meaty roles. But, he was acquiring the training, its just that for him performing on stage became a little difficult because of the language barrier. But, eventually he coped up and did well.

I think, NSD is now also coming up with regional centres across the country. When students would learn the craft of theatre and acting in these regional centres I am sure the mode of teaching will involve native languages. NSD was established when there used to be 20 students from 20 states, Pankaj said.

Pankaj Tripathi: Evolution Of The Audience Has Made It Easier To Tell Different Stories - koimoi

USI is no longer the new kid on the block. In fact and I had to look this up weve been talking about USI since mid-2019. For over two years, weve watched as USI went from a thing that we were waiting impatiently to arrive to a pretty standard inclusion in the modern Chromebook. As a matter of fact, at this point you cant have stylus support on a new Chromebook without at least including USI.

That sort of standardization is exactly what we were hoping for with USI: a clear set of rules to govern how a simple input device should work with a laptop on a consistent basis. Ive said it before but the metaphor works: you dont buy a mouse that works only on one, specific laptop. Why would you feel the need to buy a stylus that only works with one device? We needed a standard and we got one in USI. And now that its been here for a bit, were starting to see some nice maturation in not only the selection of pens available, but their unique abilities as well.

The last time we took a look at the state of USI, things were really just getting started. Sure, it was just 6 months ago, but for emerging tech, thats a decent amount of time. Back then, the pens we had on us were all basically the same. They are all fine and worth buying, but there was little to set one apart from the other. We had one pen with some side buttons, one with no buttons, and we cant forget that wild Ufro pen that is still in development that picks colors from real-world objects and lets you use them digitally. But without any real functionality on the custom buttons or a retail model of Ufros pen on the market yet, things have basically stayed the same for a while in the USI world.

Dont get me wrong: thats not really a bad thing. As more pens began showing up, more Chromebook makers started shipping their own take on a USI pen, and there are now enough available that prices have remained competitive. That part is great, but for the better part of 2021, there simply wasnt much changing in the USI space. At the end of the day, we needed more people using more USI pens so more apps would be made to fully leverage them. We got that, and thats awesome. But theres more to USI than just good pens.

There have been a few developments in the past couple months that have me feeling like theres fresh life in the USI competition again. Take HPs cool, wirelessly-charging, included-in-the-box USI pen that clicks onto the side of the HP Chromebook x2 11 with ease, stays put, and tops up while there. Thats not a boring, round USI pen. Its some pretty sweet tech.

Then theres the newest USI pen from Penoval that really stands out as a 3rd-party pen in some very cool ways. We need to mention that Penoval is sponsoring this post/video, by the way, and sent over their sweet new pen for us to check out. Though there arent many out there like it yet, it feels like a peek at things that are coming in the 3rd-party USI pen accessory space.

What do I mean by that? Well, from the get-go, this new Penoval USI pen just feels different than other USI pens that have come before. To be honest, weve had our fill of round, metal pens that do the job just fine but dont offer any new features. Again, USI is a very robust standard with lots of tech to offer again, Id reference the real world color-grabbing Ufro pen, here and up to this point, it has simply felt like all that potential hasnt been fully realized. Though this new pen from Penoval doesnt do every single thing USI is capable of, it brings new features in that weve not yet seen.

First up, it seems to handle palm rejection better than most. There are tons of technical things that happen in the exchange of info between a pen and the screen, so Im not completely sure if there are hardware tweaks that can make a single pen better or worse at palm rejection, but this one seems to be better than most.

Then we have to talk about the packaging, look and feel of this device. The box is slick, the presentation out of the package is refined and clean, and the pen itself is light, comfy, and flat on two sides. This makes it nice to hold, but also keeps it from rolling away on a desk. Theres USB Type C charging no AAAA batteries, here and a pen tip that feels far more Apple Pencil-like without much of the give you get in other USI pens. It feels great to write with on the screen.

But the best feature this pen offers is the eraser tip on the top that behaves just like youd expect. I tested in Google Keep, Squid, Cursive and Canvas and the eraser picked up on the first try no settings, no tweaks, no extra effort necessary. And this is the clear and amazing promise of USI: a standard that works the way you expect it to work every single time, regardless of the device you use it on. To repeat the metaphor: you dont plug in a mouse and cross your fingers that a left-click will select items on the screen. Its a foregone conclusion, and this is where were getting to with USI on Chromebooks. Open the Chromebook, pick up the pen, and get to drawing.

With more pens, more supported apps, and more devices that use this new standard, things will only continue getting better. More pens like this new one from Penoval will emerge with even more new feautres and these pens will be able to be made by 3rd parties, bought on multiple marketplaces, and be expected to simply work right out of the box on all USI supported Chromebooks. It feels like another big step forward for USI, and if this new Penoval pen is anything to go by, the future of this tech looks really promising.

PHOENIX, Nov. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --Illustrating its long-standing commitment to bridging the digital divide in the rural markets it serves, the Cable One family of brands (Sparklight, Fidelity Communications, ValuNet Fiber and Hargray) offers Gigabit speeds to residential customers across 99 percent of its footprint and is looking to the future and 10G - the next evolution of high-speed internet.

The company began launching Gig service to residential customers as early as 2016, well before many of its industry counterparts.

"Five years ago, Gig speeds were virtually unheard of in non-urban markets across the U.S. We are proud to have been able to launch Gig service and level the playing field for rural markets where access to affordable, high-speed internet is just as vital as in more urban markets," said Julie Laulis, Cable One President and CEO. "A fast and reliable internet connection means rural residents can telecommute rather than having to move to find work. It means access to medical care via telehealth services; the ability to achieve a higher education online; and the cultivation of entrepreneurship and economic growth."

With investments of more than $770 million over the past five years, the company is building a network with the power and capacity to support the digital future of the 1 million+ customers it serves, as well as extend broadband service to areas previously unserved or underserved.

Laying the groundwork for 10 gigabit (10G) speeds internet connectivity more reliable, more secure and 10 times faster than today's networks Cable One is investing in a new era of innovation that will not only enrich the lives of its customers but contribute to the economic development of the hundreds of cities and towns it serves.

"Gig speed is just the beginning of the story. We are implementing the upgrades needed to our networks in order to bring multi-Gig symmetrical speeds to our residential customers in the next few years and ensure that we continue to stay well ahead of the consumer consumption curve," Laulis said.

In 2019, Cable One joined theNCTA The Internet & Television Association,CableLabsand other industry partners in announcing plans to expand beyond current Gig offerings to a more powerful10G (10 Gigabit) technology platform. CableLabs' release of DOCSIS 4.0 specifications in spring 2021 was a critical step for all ISPs, as it serves as the cornerstone of the industry's 10G platform. DOCSIS 4.0 is designed to hit downstream speeds of up to 10 Gbps, which is twice the download speed of DOCSIS 3.1, and an upstream of up to 6 Gbps - four times faster than the upstream speed of DOCSIS 3.1.

In preparation for the future launch of DOCSIS 4.0, Cable One is upgrading its network return path to allow for symmetrical multi-Gig high speed internet service; reclaiming spectrum used for traditional linear video; and upgrading plant capacity to 1.8 GHz - all while pushing fiber deeper into neighborhoods to maximize the bandwidth available to every home we serve and prepare the network for future capacity enhancements.

"We are actively working to ensure our customers have access to a state-of-the-art network designed to handle future technological advances that will revolutionize the way we do things and lead to groundbreaking changes in communication, health care, education, entertainment and more," Laulis said. "10G will transform the customer experience, creating new possibilities for smart cities, connected homes, virtual and augmented reality and business."

About Cable OneCable One, Inc. is a leading broadband communications provider committed to connecting customers and communities to what matters most. Through Sparklight and the associated Cable One family of brands, the Company serves more than 1.1 million residential and business customers in 24 states. Over its fiber-optic infrastructure, the Cable One family of brands provide residential customers with a wide array of connectivity and entertainment services, including Gigabit speeds, advanced WiFi and video. For businesses ranging from small and mid-market up to enterprise, wholesale and carrier, the Company offers scalable, cost-effective solutions that enable businesses of all sizes to grow, compete and succeed.

Cable One Looks to the Next Evolution of High-Speed Internet - PRNewswire

The Microsoft Threat Intelligence Center (MSTIC) haspresented an analysis of the evolution of several Iranian threat actors at the CyberWarCon 2021, and their findings show increasingly sophisticated attacks.

Since September 2020, Microsoft has been tracking six Iranian hacking groups deploying ransomware and exfiltrating data to cause disruption and destructionfor victims.

Over time, these hacking groups have evolved into competent threat actors capable of conducting cyber-espionage, using multi-platform malware, disrupting operations with wipers and ransomware, carrying out phishing and password spraying attacks, and even setting up sophisticated supply chain operations.

All of these groups deploy ransomware to achieve their objectives and were deployed in waves, usually six to eight weeks apart.

This year, Microsoft observed the actors scanning for many vulnerabilities, including those targeting Fortinet FortiOS SSL VPN, Microsoft Exchange Servers vulnerable to ProxyShell, and more.

It is estimated that by scanning for unpatched Fortinet VPN systems alone, the actors obtained over 900 valid credentials in plain text form so far this year.

Another trend that has emerged this past year is an upgraded level of patience and persistence in social engineering campaigns, indicative of a sophisticated actor.

Previously, actors like Phosphorus (Charming Kitten) were sending unsolicited emails with malicious links and laced attachments, a bulk tactic thathad limited success.

Now, Phosphorus follows the time-consuming path of "interview invitations," a method ushered by the North Korean hacking group "Lazarus."

During these attacks, Phosphorus actors call the targets and walk them through clicking on credential harvesting pages as part of the interview process.

A new group that follows equally patient tactics is called "Curium," and Microsoft's analysts say this actor leverages an extensive network of fake social media accounts, usually masqueraded as attractive women.

They contact the targets and build rapport over some time, chatting daily and winning their trust.

Then, one day, they send a malicious document that looks similar to benign files sent previously, resulting in stealthy malware drops.

A similar tactic was used by the hacking group linked to Hamas, whocreated fake dating apps to lure Israel Defence Forces(IDF) into installing malware-laced mobile apps.

It is unclear if these two campaigns are linked.

Although some actors move more methodically, others prefer to use "brute force" attacks to obtain access to Office 365 accounts aggressively.

One such threat actor is DEV-0343, who was seentargeting US defense tech companiesand running massive password spraying attackslast month.

Microsoft reports that DEV-0343 moves a lot quicker than the groups mentioned above, typically gaining access to the target accounts on the same day.

Also, the researchers have seen overlaps such as the simultaneous targeting of specific accounts by both DEV-0343 and 'Europium' operators, clear evidence of coordinated action.

Microsoft has been tracking Iranian actors since almost a decade ago, and the tech giant has had some success in taking parts of their infrastructure offline.

Despite these efforts, Phosphorus has managed to deliver significant blows, with a notable example being the hacking of high-ranking officials in October last year.

MSTICs most recent observations underline that Phosphorus is not only alive and well, but a shape-shifting threat backed by collaborators of unprecedented pluralism.

Microsoft warns of the evolution of six Iranian hacking groups - BleepingComputer

Marcelo Bielsa has lavished praise on Leeds United captain Liam Cooper for his ability to maintain the level that has made him a certain starter at Elland Road.

Cooper has been an indispensable part of the Leeds set-up over the last few years and Bielsa has had complete trust in him since he arrived at the club in 2018.

The 30-year-old has come on leaps and bounds under the tutelage of Bielsa and has shaken off the tag of League One Liam by developing into a Premier League standard defender in the last few years.

His performances at Leeds have also earned him a place in the Scotland set-up and Bielsa stressed that the talent was always there.

He believes Cooper has done well to grab his opportunities in the last few years and the hard work he has put in to maintain himself has also helped him to improve as a player.

Asked how Cooper has improved under him, the Leeds boss said in a press conference: The virtues he has and the characteristics have always been the same.

The evolution has to do with the way he interprets his professional life.

The opportunities he had and how he took advantage of them.

He earned a place in his national team. He has kept his place in the team at Leeds for four seasons now.

What he does to maintain himself and shine is what allows him to keep growing.

Cooper has made 236 appearances for Leeds since joining the club from Chesterfield in 2014.
