Six dead as suicide blast hits Afghan political rally.

At least six people were killed when a suicide bomber drove a motorcycle into a crowd at a political rally in the eastern Afghan city of Jalalabad on Sunday, police said. The crowd had gathered in a sports stadium for a demonstration in support for President Ashraf Ghani, said Nangarhar province’s police spokesman Hazrat Hussain Mashriqiwal. “Six people including a woman and a child have been killed and 13 more injured, all of them civilians,” he told AFP by phone. The toll was confirmed by the provincial governor’s spokesman as well as a local health director, who said some of the wounded were in a serious condition. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, but Nangarhar province is considered a hotbed for the Islamic State (IS) group, which emerged in Afghanistan in late 2015. The Taliban also have an active presence in parts of the province. Afghan and US officials have stepped up their attacks on IS, saying the group was steadily losing ...

Trump denies asking FBI to drop Flynn probe.

US President Donald Trump denied Sunday having asked then FBI director James Comey to stop investigating ex-national security advisor Michael Flynn, who has since pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about discussions with Russia. Trump also insisted he and his campaign had not colluded with Moscow in last year’s election, and shifted blame on the Justice Department and his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton. “I never asked Comey to stop investigating Flynn. Just more Fake News covering another Comey lie!” Trump said in a tweet. But his position was complicated by another Twitter post in which he indicated he had fired Flynn because the national security chief had been untruthful not just to Vice President Mike Pence but to the FBI as well. That comment appeared to indicate Trump was acknowledging he knew at the time of Flynn’s firing in February that he had lied to the bureau’s agents. “If that is true, Mr. President, why did you wait so long to fire Flynn?” asked Rep...

See how you Could Uses Fixes MIA for Many Linux Kernel Flaws.

A Google code security researcher's recent discovery of 14 flaws in Linux kernel USB drivers led to last-minute fixes in the Linux 4.14 release candidate code set for distribution on Sunday. The flaws , which Google researcher Andrey Konovalov disclosed earlier this week, affect the Linux kernel before version 4.13.8. All 14 have available fixes. However, they are part of a much larger group of 79 flaws affecting the Linux kernel's USB drivers, some of which remain unpatched. Within this larger group of coding flaws, 22 now have a Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures number, and fixes are available for them. However, many of the flaws have not been fixed, according to Konovalov. Konovalov found the flaws using a kernel fuzzer called "syzkaller," created by another Google security researcher, Dmitry Vyukov. The technique involves throwing large volumes of random code at a target piece of software in an attempt to cause crashes. "All of the exploits r...

Iniesta sidelined by calf strain.

Barcelona captain Andres Iniesta will miss Tuesday’s Champions League meeting with Sporting Lisbon, the Catalan giants confirmed on Sunday. Iniesta asked to be replaced early in the second-half of Barca’s 2-2 draw at home to Celta Vigo on Saturday, but he could return as early as next weekend for a testing La Liga visit to Villarreal. “Tests have confirmed that Andres Iniesta has a strain in the calf of his left leg. The player will be out for the next game,” Barcelona said in a statement. Iniesta is unlikely to be the only Barca star left out for the visit of the Portuguese side with Ernesto Valverde’s men already guaranteed top spot in Group D with a game to spare. However, injury problems are mounting for Valverde with influential centre-back Samuel Umtiti ruled out for two months after tearing his hamstring on Saturday.

Business-to-business firms view increased online activity as an effective way to boost their growth, according to a new report from CloudCraze . Eighty-nine percent of the 400-plus B2B decision makers CloudCraze surveyed in the United States and Europe expected digital commerce would help their businesses grow. Other findings: Forty-eight percent already offered their full line of products online; Eighty-eight percent expected to sell products primarily online in the next five years; Fifty-six percent believed the greatest value of digital commerce was customer retention; and Fifty-four percent said the major value of digital commerce was customer acquisition. "The stats are within range," said Ray Wang, principal analyst at Constellation Research . "Constellation forecasts that by 2020, online B2B sales will account for about 65 percent of the total, averaged out between North America and [Europe, the Middle East and Africa]," he told the E-Commerc...

SEE WHAT IS GOING ONE AMAZON NOW! AWS Gives IoT a Boost With New OS, Services.

Amazon Web Services shone a spotlight on Internet of Things and machine learning technologies earlier this week, with the announcement of a new operating system and several new services designed to encourage radical expansion of their deployment and use across multiple industries. The new OS, Amazon FreeRTOS, simplifies development, deployment, security and maintenance of microcontroller-based edge devices, according to Tara Walker, technical evangelist for AWS. FreeRTOS will help extend IoT technology to low-power devices such as smoke detectors, light bulbs and conveyor belts. Devices such as these are not large enough to have their own CPU. Developers will be able to use FreeRTOS to build into devices networking, over-the-air software updates, encryption and certificate handling, according to AWS. 1-Click for All The new services -- including AWS IoT 1-click, AWS IoT Device Management, AWS IoT Device Defender, AWS IoT Analytics, and AWS Greengrass ML Inference -- ar...

See how to prevent yourself from skin cancers and know the symtops.

Most skin cancers are brought to a doctor’s attention because of signs or symptoms a person is having. If you have an abnormal area that might be skin cancer, your doctor will examine it and might do tests to find out if it is cancer or some other skin condition. If there is a chance the skin cancer has spread to other areas of the body, other tests might be done as well. Medical history and physical exam Usually the first step is for your doctor to ask about your symptoms, such as when the mark first appeared on the skin, if it has changed in size or appearance, and if it has been painful, itchy, or bleeding. You might also be asked about past exposures to causes of skin cancer (including sunburns and tanning practices) and if you or anyone in your family has had skin cancer. During the physical exam, the doctor will note the size, shape, color, and texture of the area(s) in question, and whether it is bleeding, oozing, or crusting. The rest of your body may be ch...

See how to prevent yourself from HIV AIDS AND KNOW THE SYMTOMPS.

Summary In the early 1980s, when the HIV/AIDS epidemic began, patients rarely lived longer than a few years. But today, there are many effective medicines to fight the infection, and people with HIV have longer, healthier lives. There are five major types of medicines: Reverse transcriptase (RT) inhibitors - interfere with a critical step during the HIV life cycle and keep the virus from making copies of itself Protease inhibitors - interfere with a protein that HIV uses to make infectious viral particles Fusion inhibitors - block the virus from entering the body's cells Integrase inhibitors - block an enzyme HIV needs to make copies of itself Multidrug combinations - combine two or more different types of drugs into one These medicines help people with HIV, but they are not perfect. They do not cure HIV/AIDS. People with HIV infection still have the virus in their bodies. They can still spread HIV to others through unprotected sex and needle sharing, even w...
