Zdeněk Šarapatka criticized the plan to convene a meeting in the Chamber of Deputies regarding the privacy of President Petr Pavel. He compared it to political processes from the communist era and claimed that its initiators were diverting attention from the problems facing Andrej Babiš's team, including the budget deficit and what he described as a fraud against pensioners. He also mentioned statements from representatives of the European Union regarding Babiš's conflict of interest. Šarapatka stated that Pavel publicly acknowledged a mistake concerning the elections and made his travel expenses public, although he emphasized that this is a private matter. He labeled the meeting in the Chamber as an unsuccessful political action and criticized Rajchl and Vondráček; he added a personal remark towards Rajchl. He described the President as a symbol of the Czech Republic in the West, in NATO, and the European Union, and called for support in the Senate. As a defender of democracy, he named Karel Řehka, Tomáš Třetina, Adéla Sucharda Šípová, Martin Dvořák, Jiří Padevět, and Tomáš Goláň and urged readers to go to the polls. #demokracie #politika #volby (translated)

SaxX reported that a hacker had accessed the Danish central registry of persons, the CPR, and retrieved data associated with about 8.8 million identification numbers. According to him, these concerned living people, deceased individuals, or those who had gone abroad, and included names, addresses, and personal numbers. The author clarified that the intrusion did not directly target the Danish state, but Pays ApS, an IT company in Odense that had legal access to the registry to verify its clients' files. He indicated that the company had only two employees. Citing the newspaper Politiken, he wrote that at least three of its accounts used the password "123456", including that of the administrator. According to SaxX's account, the hacker allegedly used a leaked password from a former employee, maintained access for 21 days and 17 hours, and carried out about 14 million automated searches between September 10 and 20. The hacker also claimed that his data recovery program had been written by an AI, that he had no particular technical skills, and that he did not intend to sell or publish the data. SaxX stated that the intrusion was only discovered on October 2, after an official noticed an abnormally high bill, as searches in the registry are paid. He added that the Minister of Digital Affairs had described the incident as "deeply serious." The author also reported that the number of citizens who activated a credit fraud alert had risen from about 250,000 to nearly 970,000 in one week. According to him, the CPR had then reminded the security rules to 1,039 companies that had access to the registry, including banks, telecom operators, law firms, unions, and insurers. Finally, SaxX estimated that the incident demonstrated the risks associated with access granted to private providers, as several African states digitized their civil registries. #Cybersécurité #Hacking #Danemark (translated)

SIPONTO (MANFREDONIA) PUBBLICATA SU "POPULAR ARCHAEOLOGY USA" by LUCIANO MAGALDI SARDELLA "SIPONTUM, THE ARCHAELOGICAL SITE AND INVISIBLE PORT CITY OF ANCIENT DAUNIA" SOURCE: https://popular-archaeology.com/author/sardella/ Finalmente Siponto parla al mondo. È uscito su Popular Archaeology USA il primo grande racconto divulgativo in inglese dedicato a Sipontum, la città portuale invisibile della Daunia. Per chi lavora sul patrimonio archeologico di Foggia e provincia era un paradosso: l’Encyclopaedia Britannica liquidava Siponto in due righe come “città abbandonata per le lagune”, ma non esisteva ancora una sintesi completa della sua storia in lingua inglese per il pubblico internazionale. Questo articolo colma finalmente quel vuoto. Racconta una storia di longue durée che attraversa 7.000 anni: dalla laguna dell’Età del Bronzo alla colonia marittima romana del 194 a.C. il cui decumano massimo è ancora oggi la SS89 Garganica, dal porto granario citato da Cassiodoro alla basilica resa visibile da Edoardo Tresoldi, fino all’abbandono per malaria e al trasferimento voluto da Manfredi di Svevia che fondò Manfredonia nel 1256–1263. E soprattutto racconta il presente: le campagne 2021–2025 di Archeologia Globale delle Università di Bari e Foggia con Roberto Goffredo, Maria Turchiano e Giuliano Volpe, e il nuovo Parco Archeologico del Gargano. Un passo fondamentale per dare a uno dei siti più sottovalutati d’Italia la visibilità internazionale che merita.

SIPONTUM (MANFREDONIA), PUBLISHED IN POPULAR ARCHAEOLOGY USA by LUCIANO MAGALDI SARDELLA "SIPONTUM, THE ARCHAELOGICAL SITE AND INVISIBLE PORT CITY OF ANCIENT DAUNIA" SOURCE: https://popular-archaeology.com/author/sardella/ At last, Siponto speaks to the world. The first major popular account in English devoted to Sipontum, the invisible port city of Daunia, has been published in Popular Archaeology USA. For those who work on the archaeological heritage of Foggia and its province, it has long been a paradox: the Encyclopaedia Britannica dismissed Siponto in two lines as a “city abandoned owing to the encroachment of lagoons”, yet no comprehensive synthesis of its history in English existed for an international readership. This article at last fills that lacuna. It narrates a longue durée history spanning 7,000 years: from the Bronze Age lagoon to the Roman maritime colony of 194 BC, whose decumanus maximus survives today as the SS89 Garganica; from the grain port cited by Cassiodorus to the basilica rendered visible by Edoardo Tresoldi; through to abandonment through malaria and the transfer ordained by Manfred of Swabia, who founded Manfredonia in 1256–1263. And, above all, it recounts the present: the 2021–2025 campaigns of Global Archaeology by the Universities of Bari and Foggia, led by Roberto Goffredo, Maria Turchiano, and Giuliano Volpe, and the new Archaeological Park of the Gargano. A fundamental step towards affording one of Italy’s most underrated sites the international visibility it deserves.

A report from the Italian Society for Addiction Pathologies highlights that, in the last year, 92 new drugs have been discovered, leading to a 15% increase in emergency room visits, with a significant portion of the patients being minors. #Droghe #SaluteMentale #SIPaD (translated)

SARA Nilsson wrote that she felt grateful to still be able to breathe after her cancer illness. She attributed a crucial role in her fight to her children and Patrik, and also thanked her colleagues, people who raised money for the drug ENHERTU, Douglas, those who prayed for her, and the surgeons who removed tumors. She wrote that the treatment had shrunk the tumors and that the fight continued, but that she was no longer afraid. Nilsson also talked about Fredrik Vikström, whom she said had helped her navigate the healthcare system. According to Nilsson, Vikström had himself been palliative in 2018 after colorectal cancer and later reached a state of NED, “No evidence of disease.” She wrote that he had researched, sought solutions, and demanded changes within the healthcare system, and that he had become involved in the same way when she discovered a tumor under her skin last year. Vikström's book “Under varje sten” was, according to Nilsson, set to release at midnight. She wrote that it chronicled his journey from palliative care to NED and contained advice on making demands and finding one's way in Swedish healthcare. The book, according to her, made no promises of miracle cures or guaranteed recovery. She also stated that there was a free cancer manual and an app on Vikström's website. #cancer #tacksamhet #livskraft (translated)

Michal Sirový described the senatorial duel in Plzeň as exceptionally boring, but he noted that more interesting contests are expected in other districts. According to him, the clash between Láska and Sáblík is worth attention, where a strong, neutrally positioned candidate is pitted against the ODS in Prague, and the battle between Šípová and Paták, which he described as the defense of the mandate by a representative of the weaker Pirates against the ODS. He also considered the contests between STAN and ODS in Hradec Králové and Zlín to be important. He posed the question of which of these brands is currently more popular, or conversely, more toxic. In the clash between Šmarda and Klement, he pointed out the social democrat in neutral colors against a Christian Democrat on the edge of the Czech "Bible belt." He identified Přerov and Karviná as the only two real chances for ANO to gain a mandate and questioned whether voters would show up there. #Volby2023 #SenátníDuel #ČeskáPolitika (translated)

Demography has no alternative for the Croatian government, it is a fundamental issue and the government will find the funds for it. The increase would include more than 34,000 beneficiaries, and almost 28 million euros have been secured annually for the implementation of the measure, Šipić said after the government session. #potpora #obitelj #Vlada (translated)

since almost everyone is connected to HDZ in one way or another, Dalija Orešković (DO and SIP) accused the prime minister of spreading falsehoods by claiming that there are no suspects connected to HDZ in the case of ecocide in Lika, stating that "almost everyone is connected to HDZ in one way or another." #Plenković #opozicija #Gospić (translated)

Prime Minister Plenković, while presenting the government's annual report, emphasized that demographic renewal remains a strategic challenge for Croatian society and that the one-time allowance for newborns will be increased (from 618 euros) to 800 at the initiative of the Minister of Demography Ivan Šipić starting in 2027. #demografskaobnova #novorođenčad #VladaRH (translated)

The one-time support for newborns has been doubled to 618 euros for the first time since 2007, and at the initiative of Minister Šipić, we will increase it to 800 euros for the next year, with the ambition to reach 1000 euros in support per newborn child in the last year of the mandate," announced Plenković during the presentation of the Government's annual report. #demografija #roditeljski_dopust #naknada_za_novorodene (translated)
