Wolfgang Halbig, 73, was arrested and charged with unlawful possession of personal identification in Lake County, Florida, and accused of tormenting Sandy Hook parent Leonard Pozner and others connected to the deadly 2012 shooting... "Halbig is a conspiracy theorist who is investigating the Sandy Hook shooting that occurred on December 14, 2012," the Lake County Sheriff's Office wrote in an arrest affidavit. "Since the shooting, defendant Halbig has contacted the victim's family members and have continued to harass them, asking questions and alleging the children involved are crisis actors."

Federal employees interested in working for the military’s newest, space-focused branch now have opportunities to do so, as the Air Force posted several civilian positions on the federal hiring website to draw talent specifically for the Space Force headquarters. The positions all start at GS-12 and above, and are not open to the public, meaning that the Air force plans to hire current and former feds, military veterans and family members of feds or military members serving overseas. Some of the positions are reserved for current federal employees working for the Air Force.

Gulnara Karimova, 47, is believed to own a series of impressive British properties which anti-corruption investigators have been attempting to seize... Karimova has been accused of accumulating more than £661million in bribes while her despotic father Islam Karimov led Uzbekistan between 1991 and 2016. The Uzbek 'princess' was sentenced to five years in jail in 2015 for promoting a criminal gang. Karimova then received an additional five years for embezzlement and extortion in 2017... Once the richest and most powerful woman in all ex-USSR countries, as well as a diplomat, pop singer, catwalk model, mobile phone mogul, and, in her own words, an 'exotic Uzbekistan beauty', she was seen as the 'most hated woman' in her homeland. Her cotton and gas-rich country became known as 'Corruptistan' as her nepotistic father indulged her whims, before finally turning on her as he became senile. Former British ambassador Craig Murray once described the then all-powerful 'princess' as a beautiful but deadly James Bond villainess.

The hackers have attacked at least 30 organizations, including government ministries, embassies and security services as well as companies and other groups, according to a Reuters review of public internet records. Victims have included Cypriot and Greek government email services and the Iraqi government’s national security advisor, the records show.

The attacks involve intercepting internet traffic to victim websites, potentially enabling hackers to obtain illicit access to the networks of government bodies and other organizations. According to two British officials and one U.S. official, the activity bears the hallmarks of a state-backed cyber espionage operation conducted to advance Turkish interests...

While this might be one of the few instances where Brexit could have a positive effect on the UK tech environment, it’s worth noting that the UK was one of the countries that advocated — and cast a pivotal vote — for the implementation of the Copyright Directive.

Basically, British authorities championed possibly destructive legislation along with other EU powers for the whole continent, then used the opportunity of leaving to avoid having to implement it for themselves...

New research offers an alternative – devices that can break down in your stomach after you've swallowed a pill of light.

Yes, you read that right. The idea is that when medical devices inserted into the gastrointestinal tract reach the end of their life they could start to break down once they come into contact with certain kinds of light. They would then be processed through the body like any other kind of waste.

Thanks to newly developed light-sensitive hydrogel, devices could be easily removed if they weren't working or after the course of treatment had finished – all patients would have to do is take a glowing LED pill that would trigger the dissolving process in the gut...
