What does a spy agency give for Christmas? How about a riddle wrapped in an enigma inside a mystery. GCHQ, Britain’s electronic and cyber-intelligence agency, on Wednesday published its annual Christmas Challenge – a seasonal greeting card that doubles as a set of fiendishly difficult puzzles designed to excite young minds about solving cyphers and unearthing clues.The challenge is aimed at young people aged 11 to 18, who are encouraged to work in teams and use “lateral thinking, ingenuity and perseverance” to crack the seven brainteasers set by GCHQ’s “in-house puzzlers.”The card is sent by the head of GCHQ —…

Melbourne is my favorite city in Australia. It’s a vibrant, multicultural city known for its rich arts scene, world-class dining, and lively atmosphere. It’s a hub for backpackers and travelers too. The mix of old-world architecture and modern skyscrapers gives the city a unique charm. I especially love strolling through Melbourne’s iconic laneways, enjoying the colorful street art and popping into hidden bars. There’s so much to do here that you could easily spend a week and not get bored. No matter how long you have though, choosing a great hotel is paramount. There are a ton of hotels in…

Henry McKenna NFL Reporter Players win games. Coaches lose them. That’s the adage in the NFL.And Bills coach Sean McDermott just lost another.With roughly a minute and a half left in Sunday’s game, the Bills still had a long way to go to take the lead, but quarterback Josh Allen was playing so well that a comeback seemed possible. Imminent, maybe. As the Bills entered the low red zone with about 75 seconds left, FOX Lead NFL Analyst Tom Brady went so far as to say that Buffalo was “in great position.” The Bills were down nine points with a…
Routers and firewalls are network security devices, sometimes grouped into business and home network packages or sold separately as dedicated hardware. Though the two are closely linked, routers and firewalls are very different devices. Router: Exchanges data between networks or gateways. Firewall: Blocks traffic from protected networks. Put simply, routers connect networks and move data efficiently, while firewalls protect networks by controlling and securing the flow of data. For home networks, most people already have a router with a built-in firewall. Under normal circumstances, they don’t need to get an extra firewall to keep their network safe. Businesses, on the…
Saudi Arabia has been officially confirmed by FIFA as host of the 2034 World Cup in men’s soccer, giving the oil-rich kingdom its biggest prize yet for massive spending on global sports driven by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. The Saudi bid was the only candidate and was acclaimed by the applause of more than 200 FIFA member federations. They took part remotely in an online meeting hosted in Zurich on Wednesday by the soccer body’s president Gianni Infantino.“The vote of the congress is loud and clear,” said Infantino, who had asked officials on a bank of screens to clap…
In the land of the Brothers Grimm, I was expecting creepy overgrown forests, quaint medieval towns, and maybe a gingerbread house or two. But, it turns out, the Brothers Grimm tales weren’t from the Black Forest region of Germany (most are from the central part). Why did I think they were from there? I don’t really know. Maybe I got that from Disney? And, moreover, due to massive logging in the 1700s and 1800s, most of the area was turned to farmland. Only recently, thanks to the efforts of eco-friendly locals, has the forest slowly started to return to the…
If you’re like me, you’re always on the lookout for ways to make your adventures more affordable and enjoyable. That’s why I collect points and miles. They help me travel longer, better, and cheaper. Today I want to talk about a card that’s been growing in popularity over the past few years: the Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card. It’s designed for travelers who want to easily rack up miles without having to keep track of bonus categories. And, in the past couple of years, they have really improved the card. It’s one of the main cards I use…
If you want to travel cheaper, better, and longer, one of the best tools in your arsenal is a solid rewards credit card. Still, despite how often I talk about the topic, many travelers (or would-be travelers) are reluctant to get one. They think it’s a scam, don’t want to pay an annual fee, or just are generally wary of the whole thing. If you’re in that camp, today I want to discuss a credit card that may be the perfect introduction to the world of points and miles: the Chase Freedom Unlimited®. This card offers great value, with no…
I love visiting Japan. Even after multiple visits, I never get tired of wandering the country’s historic temples, feasting on its incredible sushi, and soaking up the breakneck pace of life in Tokyo. After over half a dozen visits, I’ve learned through trial and error how to best explore the country. English isn’t widely spoken, and once you get out of the big cities, it’s even less common. That means things like online maps and translation apps are vital for every traveler. To ensure you stay connected during your trip, you’re going to want to buy an eSIM. It’s the…
