Britain to offer all adults a COVID-19 vaccine by end of July – Reuters
Posted: at 12:31 am
LONDON (Reuters) - All adults in Britain will be offered a first shot of a COVID-19 vaccine by the end of July, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Saturday ahead of a planned announcement on the cautious reopening of the economy from lockdown.

Johnson will set out a roadmap to ease Englands third national lockdown on Monday, having met a target to vaccinate 15 million Britons from higher-risk categories by mid-February.
Britain now aims to give a first dose to all over-50s by April 15, the government said, having previously indicated it wished them to receive the shot by May.
If all adults receive a dose by the end of July, it will be well ahead of a previous target that they would receive a vaccine by autumn.
After suffering the worlds fifth-worst official COVID-19 death toll and a series of mishaps in its pandemic response, Johnsons government moved faster than much of the West to secure vaccine supplies, giving it a head start.
Johnson cautioned that there was a need to avoid complacency, adding that lockdown would only be lifted slowly.
We will now aim to offer a jab to every adult by the end of July, helping us the most vulnerable sooner, and take further steps to ease some of the restrictions in place, Johnson said in a statement.
But there should be no doubt - the route out of lockdown will be cautious and phased, as we all continue to protect ourselves and those around us.
So far, he United Kingdom has given a first dose of vaccine to 17.2 million people, over a quarter of its 67 million population and behind only Israel and the United Arab Emirates in vaccines per head of population.
Two vaccines - one made by Pfizer and BioNTech, and another developed by the University of Oxford and AstraZeneca - are being rolled out, and UK officials have advised that there can be a 12 week gap between doses.

Cypriots defy ban to protest again over corruption, coronavirus curbs – Reuters
Posted: at 12:31 am
NICOSIA (Reuters) - Thousands of Cypriots protesting against coronavirus restrictions and corruption held a peaceful march on Saturday in defiance of a ban on gatherings.
The event, held following a violent crackdown by police of a previous protest which triggered widespread criticism last week, saw marchers holding flowers and banners parade through a central thoroughfare in the capital Nicosia to the islands parliament.
Protesters wearing face masks were observed at a distance by police.
Cyprus, which has fared better than most countries in handling the pandemic, has been in and out of lockdown for about a year. However, disclosures of perceived corruption from a passport-for-investment scheme has fueled public discontent.
I feel like my future is just hanging by a thread. There are no jobs, but those governing and their buddies are getting rich, said one protester identified only as Ioanna, 24.
A smaller protest held on Feb. 13 was met with a heavy-handed response by police, who clashed with demonstrators and deployed water cannon. The incident triggered a police inquiry and admissions by the islands justice minister that some scenes showed a disproportionate reaction.
On Saturday, the water cannon was kept at a distance, parked about two kilometres away within the medieval walls of the capital Nicosia.
The passport scheme was abruptly pulled by authorities last year after the Al Jazeera news network showed individuals allegedly willing to facilitate citizenship for a fictitious investor with a criminal record, and which they subsequently denied. The scheme is also being probed by an independent board of inquiry.
Down with the Junta of the Partitionist, read one banner, with the word partitionist a play on the name of President Nicos Anastasiades, referring to the ethnic division of the island populated by Greek and Turkish Cypriots.

Skateboarding superstar charged with hosting COVID-19 superspreader party in L.A. – Los Angeles Times
Posted: at 12:31 am
A skateboarding superstar is among five people Los Angeles prosecutors have charged with organizing parties that were possible superspreader events at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Nyjah Huston, a four-time world skateboarding champion, and Edward Essa, the owner of a home in the Fairfax District where authorities say parties have been repeatedly shut down by police since last fall, are among those charged.
After the latest party last month, Mayor Eric Garcetti ordered the L.A. Department of Water and Power to cut off electric service to the home in the 800 block of North Curson Avenue. Huston and Essa are both charged with creating a nuisance, a misdemeanor. Neither could be reached for comment Friday.
Three other people face similar charges in unrelated cases, allegedly involving a secret New Years Eve banquet in downtown L.A. and frequent gatherings behind covered windows at another Fairfax nightspot.
Mike Feuer, the city attorney who acts as L.A.'s top prosecutor, said the coronavirus has dramatically changed the lives of Angelenos, but some have refused to change their behavior.
During this crisis, my office has held those individuals and businesses who have had large indoor gatherings, violating important public health and safety orders, accountable. he said. Those charged, he said, are connected to properties where we allege that large indoor parties were held in violation of public health orders.
It is the latest crackdown on the worst violations of emergency orders that seek to limit the spread of the virus, targeting a party scene driven in part by social media creators who make money by providing entertainment for the maskless mass gatherings.
During the pandemic, this enforcement is particularly important because party houses can produce superspreader events that jeopardize public health. Were taking the steps to shut them down, Feuer added.
Last month, LAPD Capt. Sharon Paulson said officers cleared about 40 people from the Curson Avenue address after receiving a complaint of a gathering at a social media influencer residence. Officers had previously shut down events at the home on Sept. 12-13 and Oct. 17 and issued warnings to the residents that large gatherings violated the mayors public order, officials said.
Huston has gotten into trouble for house parties before. In September 2019, he pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge of disturbing the peace at a 2017 Los Angeles party. The multiple X Games gold medalist, who has 4.5 million Instagram followers, was originally charged with felony assault. In 2014, he was cited for noise violations after Orange County deputies responding to multiple complaints found 200 to 300 people at his south Orange County home.
Prosecutors allege that Salon Oaxaca in downtown Los Angeles, owned by Hermelinda Nicolas De Ruiz, was the site of a New Years Eve party with about 150 guests, and that dozens have gathered for underground parties at the Hidden River, owned by Brandon Miller, Oshri Elmorich and a company, Royva Inc., in the 300 block of North La Brea Avenue.
Last August, Feuer filed charges against TikTok stars Bryce Hall and Blake Gray and the owners of mega mansions they rented for massive parties.

Brave browsers Tor feature found to leak .onion queries to ISPs – The Daily Swig
Posted: at 12:30 am
Jessica Haworth19 February 2021 at 14:27 UTC Updated: 19 February 2021 at 21:33 UTC
Developers are issuing hotfix
UPDATED Brave, the privacy-focused web browser, is exposing users activity on Tors hidden servers aka the dark web to their internet service providers, it has been confirmed.
Brave is shipped with a built-in feature that integrates the Tor anonymity network into the browser, providing both security and privacy features that can help obscure a users activity on the web.
Tor is also used to access .onion websites, which are hosted on the dark net.
Earlier today (February 19), a blog post from Rambler claimed that Brave was leaking DNS requests made in the Brave browser to a users ISP.
Read more of the latest privacy news
DNS requests are unencrypted, meaning that any requests to access .onion sites using the Tor feature in Brave can be tracked a direct contradiction to its purpose in the first place.
The blog post reads: Your ISP or DNS provider will know that a request made to a specific Tor site was made by your IP. With Brave, your ISP would know that you accessed somesketchyonionsite.onion.
Following the disclosure, well-known security researchers including PortSwigger Web Securitys James Kettle independently verified the issue using the Wireshark packet analysis tool.
I just confirmed that yes, Brave browsers Tor mode appear to leak all the .onion addresses you visit to your DNS provider, Kettle tweeted, providing a screenshot for evidence.
Security researcher James Kettle independently verified the Brave browser privacy issue
Considering that the Tor Browser was specifically built to hide a users internet browsing from their ISP, the news has provoked a vociferous response online.
Privacy my ass, wrote Twitter user @s_y_m_f_m, while other called the findings appalling.
The issue has been present in the stable release since November 2020, and was reported in mid January, a Brave developer told The Daily Swig.
INSIGHT Tor security: Everything you need to know about the anonymity network
Since the time of publication, a Brave developer has confirmed that the browser will be releasing a hotfix for the issue.
The issue is already fixed in nightly, the development build of the browser. The developer, @bcrypt on Twitter, wrote: Since its now public were uplifting the fix to a stable hotfix.
Root cause is regression from cname-based adblocking which used a separate DNS query.
The Daily Swig has reached out to Brave for comment, and will update this article accordingly.
This article has been updated to include the information that a hotfix is being issued. An earlier version stated that the issue has been present since 2019, this has been corrected to 2020.

Brave Is Leaking Browsing History From Anonymous Tor Browser – Decrypt
Posted: at 12:30 am
In brief
Brave, a Chromium-based, privacy-first browser that integrates the anonymous Tor web browser, has been leaking private .onion addresses to domain name system providers.
Tor obscures users web browsing activity by bouncing web traffic across a global network of relays. That makes it near-impossible to trace a users web history, making the browser a perfect home for anyone in need of privacy: mostly activists, dark web drug barons and hackers.
But the bug, addressed in a beta and soon-to-be-fixed in a hotfix, leaked all that private information to DNS providers, meaning that internet companies could snoop on their users Tor activity.
This is because Brave, which integrated Tor in 2018, is a Chromium-based browser, meaning it uses the same architecture as Firefox and Google Chrome. This issue has plagued Chromium-based browsers for over a decade and has been found on Brave as far back as 2019.
Braves bug was raised on January 21 after a Hacker One report unearthed the issue. It was resolved, then added to the Nightly version two weeks ago. Nightly is a developer's version of Brave that updates each day.
However, since the bug blew up on Reddit and Twitter today, Brave is bumping it up to the official version.
Brave never professed to be as private as Tor. Brave with Tor does not provide the same level of Privacy as the Tor browser, if your life depends on remaining anonymous, use the Tor browser, said Ryan Watson, Braves VP of IT, two years ago on Reddit.
Tor is more secure because it scrubs digital fingerprints used to identify computers, wrote Watson. Fingerprinting works by hiding in the crowd of other browsers, by using Tor in Brave you have a slightly more unique fingerprint than with Tor browser. Thus making you less anonymous.
He added: [Tors community] also develop and know about security issues before anyone else, so they get the patches first and they make their way downstream to other apps.
Brave has been in hot water for betraying user trust in the past. It redirected some crypto-related search queries to affiliate links, from which it earned kickbacks. It's not great, and sorry again. I'm sad about it, too, tweeted Brendan Eich, the companys fiery CEO after the scheme was unearthed. The bug, however, appears to be an error in code, rather than in judgment.

You are being watched.
Everything you do online is being captured, stored and analysed in order to determine your personality, preferences, and predict your behaviour.
In this special 3-part Information Age series, we look at the ways your online activity is being tracked and some of the steps you can take to control your personal data.
In the first part of this series, we looked at how your browser choice and configuration can stop advertisers from recording your internet activity by blocking third-party cookies and other site trackers.
With your browser no longer sending data elsewhere, there is another source of potential data leakage: your internet service provider (ISP).
It is established practice in the US for certain ISPs to package its customers browsing data to sell for targeted advertising.
And in 2018 Crikey reported the practice had made it to Australia (hidden behind 'privacy policies') citing a concerned advertising executive who was offered insights derived from Optus customer data.
An Optus spokesperson told Information Age the telco does not sell customers internet usage history to advertisers nor does it share information that directly identifies customers with any third-party for commercial purposes.
But Optuss privacy policy currently says it may analyse anonymous viewing and/or browsing data which could be de-identified and shared with its business partners.
Telstra also says it uses business intelligence techniques to get high level insights about aspects of its network usage including demographic trends and other types of behavioural data which may be shared with its own business and commercial partners.
Of course, advertisers arent the only ones seeking direct access to your internet activity from ISPs.
Metadata retention
Under the Telecommunications (Interception and Access) Act 1979, your ISP is required to store certain information about your internet use for at least two years.
There are six categories of data your ISP has to keep, including: subscriber information; the source and destination (IP addresses) of communications; the date, time, type, and duration; and the location of equipment used during the communication.
For law enforcement this data has obvious use-cases, such as when tracking down people who share child exploitation material, theoretically allowing police to cross-reference instances of illicit behaviour and match them with real-world perpetrators.
ISPs are technically not required to store web browsing histories or the contents of communication under the act in order to allay fears of mass government surveillance but the differentiation between what is information about an internet communication and what are its content is not so clear-cut.
Last year, the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security completed its review of the mandatory data retention regime, recommending the legislation should be updated to better define what is content or substance of a communication.
This followed revelations that law enforcement agencies were effectively given access to web browsing history, despite that being outside the scope of collection.
In one public committee hearing, Commonwealth Ombudsman Michael Manthorpe whose office provides oversight to the accessing of metadata under this scheme described issues with the scheme.
"The piece of ambiguity we have observed through our inspections is that sometimes the metadata, in the way it's captured particularly URL data and sometimes IP addresses does, in its granularity, start to communicate something about the content of what is being looked at."
Since an ISP is your gateway to the internet, how can you avoid them using your internet history for advertising or passing it onto the government?
A VPN might work
You will no doubt have seen or heard ads for virtual private network (VPN) companies trying to sell their services by creating perceived need for one of their main purposes:
-Unlocking geoblocked content (such as internationally available streaming services)
-Securing your data
-Anonymising your internet use
As far as online anonymity goes, VPNs hide activity data from your ISP by encrypting your service requests and tunnelling them into its private network.
This means your ISP will only see that you are connected to a VPN and the size of data moving back-and-forth but it wont see what websites or services you are accessing within that network.
And because government website blocking is done at the ISP level, VPNs may also act as a way of circumventing restrictions on unlawful piracy or online gambling websites.
VPN companies tend to be headquartered in countries with minimal government oversight in order to avoid regulatory hurdles like mandatory data retention regimes.
Unfortunately, this means taking these companies claims about privacy and security on face value, which brings its own set of problems.
Just last year, security researchers at Comparitech discovered an exposed database from UFO VPN.
Despite the company claiming it did not track or log its customers internet activity, the database revealed UFO VPN was storing account passwords in plain text and keeping records of users IP addresses along with the VPN servers they were connected to.
Typically you also want to avoid any free VPN services as they are likely just designed to harvest and sell web data.
For example Onavo Protect a now-defunct privacy-focused VPN app owned by Facebook told users it would protect and encrypt their user data but instead shuffled that information straight to Facebook for analysis.
Trustworthiness
VPN brands are working hard to establish consumer trust in the growing market in order to stay ahead of opportunistic companies.
NordVPN started contracting independent auditors Pricewaterhouse Coopers (PwC) to double-check its no-log claims a process fellow VPN heavyweight Express VPN copied by having PwC conduct an audit of its systems, too.
ProtonVPN from the same company that operates end-to-end encrypted email service Proton Mail tries to differentiate itself by being open source and allowing security researchers to check under the hood for nefarious features.
And non-profit Mozilla also has its own product, Mozilla VPN but its not yet available in Australia.
Theres no shortage of lists naming the best top or most secure VPNs around the internet, many of which feature NordVPN and ExpressVPN up the top.
But before signing up to the next VPN service being sold to you on a podcast or YouTube video, beware that not all VPNs are created equal.
A decent VPN service will cost you around $10 a month and can be a bit cheaper if you pay annually.
The onion router
If you are interested in anonymous web browsing and dont want to shop around for a VPN, you could always try using the free anonymity network Tor.
Like a VPN, Tor hides the details of your internet activity from your ISP but it will still likely know you are connecting to Tor.
Tor uses onion routing which sees your server requests covered in many layers (hence onion) of encryption.
It is then passed through a relay of networked volunteer computers, each of which peels off a layer of the encrypted request until the last layer of encryption is removed and your request gets fulfilled.
It is then wrapped back up in multiple encryption layers and passed down the relay to your machine.
All these relays will naturally slow down your internet connection.
Tor keeps you anonymous by design because no single point in the relay sees both the sender and receiver which is in stark contrast to ISPs and VPNs, each of which needs to see both sender and receiver in order to deliver the message.
Because of its in-built anonymity features, Tor has long been used for illicit online activity and is host to hidden onion services which can only be reached through Tor and make up part of the infamous dark web.
The underlying Tor software is maintained by the non-profit Tor Project which is funded largely through US government grants, and the most common way to access Tor is by using the Tor Browser.
Do keep in mind, though, that when it comes to remaining anonymous online, how you access the internet is just as important as what you access on the internet.

Why Live Roulette is a Better Experience than Digital Roulette – Gameindustry.com – GameIndustry.com
Posted: at 12:28 am
If you are interested in playing roulette online from one of the leading casinos in your country, then stop for a second and ask yourself what kind of roulette will you be playing? In fact, more importantly, what should you be playing?
In the realm of online casino gameplay, there are two types of gaming formats and they both started around the same time in the mid to late 90s.
You have digital gameplay that offers players a simulated digitalized game, kind of like slot machines, but played out on a table because thats roulettes natural place. Then you have the live gaming format played inside the live casino platform with a live dealer as gaming host.
So, which of these should you be playing? Is one really better than the other? Well, we are here to justifiably explain why you should only ever be playing live casino games and, in this instance, live online roulette.
Why roulette first of all? Well, its a table game that comes with the most basic of rules.
1: Predict where the ball is going to land within the roulette wheel.
2: Place your bet or bets on the table.
3: Spin the Wheel and await the outcome of your bet.
The game of roulette is for many new players the go-to-game when they want to experience traditional gaming. If slots seem less challenging, then roulette at least allows you to call the shots.The game is, therefore, popular amongst first-time players and because of this fact, we what to share the reasons as to why players will benefit more from playing online roulette in its live gaming format, rather than opting to play a more standardized version of the table game.
Roulette is a gaming classic and is housed by every online casino you can find. Its a game that has stood the test of time and even Albert Einstein once said of the game: You cannot beat a roulette table unless you steal money from it.Roulette is a gambling feature that holds many positives, however, these come more into light as a live gaming format than one which is produced as a simple digital game.
Digital gameplay, be it roulette, blackjack, or even poker, their gaming construct is identical to that of a slot machine.
The layouts are the same in a programming and instructional sense within the gaming mechanics.
So, firstly, what is a slot machine? You have 3 to 5 reels; they will spin at random and will pay out when 3 or more matching symbols align.
How is this even close to roulette?
The mechanics of the reel rotation is exactly the same as that of the roulette wheel, chance is being created through this random even.
The symbol of the wheel, like that of the reels, in this instance, is the number, and the colour and the odd or even value of the number. The alignment is that of the wheel and the table bet matching.
Now, why do we say that it is all random? Well, it is not, not entirely. Digital roulette is a program and for it to know when to trigger or generate wins, the program needs an algorithmic calculator or solution. Now, there are two types of algorithms out there in the industry, Return to Player (RTP) which 90% of online slots use. And then you have the Random Number Generator (RNG) which accounts for 100% of online card and table games i.e. Online Roulette.
The RNG algorithm uses a 30 billion numerical code to generate the concept of chance. This is how roulette and all other online games in their digital format determine who wins and losses. Now, this goes for all roulette variants also.
Roulette is a game that is especially loved in Ireland and for players wanting to get a full measure of what roulette variants there are, then we advice you to head over to a professional comparison site, such as betinireland.ie. You dont need to be from Ireland to appreciate the detail this webpage goes into.
We reached out to Shane Hennessy, which is a casino games reviewer at BetinIreland.ie, to see how online roulette on their dedicated page betinireland.ie/casino/games/roulette/ fares when compared to the live table version, and he confirmed that player reaction to live roulette tends to be stronger, especially among veterans of the game.
Judging by the data gathered from our site, players do believe that if you want to experience the best of roulette, then only in a live gaming format will you actually play the game how it was intentionally designed.
We can now look into the process of play with the live casino features of roulette.
For many players online, their experience of live gaming will be developed by Evolution Gaming. They were the first developer to create the live streaming content for online casinos and have since dominated the market, with no real competitors trying to challenge an already perfect live service.
So, let us briefly discuss live gaming. From the confines of Evolutions Studios, real casino games are being played. Roulette tables hosted by model-like dealers are broadcast to hundreds of international online casinos, which are then streamed on the casino platform for users to access, watch, and play.
The defining thing is that the equipment is real! There is no programming or coding to decide If you should win or lose. The answer is that simple, have full control over the roulette you play by playing roulette live online. With it, you will get a better experience for it. You get to converse with the live dealer via the chat option embedded into the game which allows for a greater immersive gaming experience.
You still get to play the many variants that appear online, you will have access to Live European Roulette, Live American Roulette, even specialist titles like Double Ball Roulette and Lightning Roulette, specially created by Evolution Gaming.
Plus, you have the future of the format to look forward to. As you can see with traditional console gaming, it is now providing the option for a VR gaming experience. Soon and not too long into the future, live casino gaming will implement the technology of VR programming so that players can assume avatars and play inside a virtual casino online.
Live roulette provides a greater profitable plater of games, if you imagine the digital games as the coin machines you find in amusement arcades, not to say they are rigged per-se but, they are there as quick profit-making games for the casino. Play live and you are not playing into the hands of the casino.

Online roulette: one of the most sought after games – Explica
Posted: at 12:28 am
The trend continues and shows no changes in the future. Online roulette is one of the games most chosen by users, not only in Spain, but worldwide among those who want to spend time and win money in the game rooms offered by the cybernetic world of fun.
888 online roulette is without a doubt the one that offers the greatest variety of gaming options for those players who choose one specific variety over another.
Roulette comes from the French term roulette which means small wheel. The ultimate goal of the game is to place real money bets where you think the ball will land.
Roulette has a wheel of 37 slots numbered from 0 to 36 (there are exceptions in variants that we will see later). The slots alternate between red and black, except for 0 which is green. Players can place bets on the number, color or a series of numbers. After the bets placed by the users are concluded, the wheel spins until the ball lands on a randomly determined number. There are outside or inside bets.
The types of bets are:
Simple full: Bet on a number. If the ball lands on that number you win 35 times the value of the bet. Double: Bet on two numbers. You win 17 times the bet.Tro or Calle: Bet on three numbers. You win 11 times the bet. Angle and Quad: Bet on four numbers. You win 8 times the bet. Line: Bet on six numbers. You win five times the bet. Dozen: Bet on twelve numbers. You win twice the bet. Higher, lower, red, black, even or odd: In these three variants of bets with two options, in case of being a winner, you get the equivalent of your bet.
Roulette modes
888 online roulette offers, as we discussed earlier, several modes for those users who prefer one over the other. We will explain each modality below.
European roulette: Players place bets on both single numbers and a variety of numbers, color, odd or even, higher or lower, columns, or dozens. Then the croupier turns the wheel and throws the ball in the opposite direction. This variant has an advanced panel in which special bets arise such as: neighbors (up to four numbers at a time according to the order of the roulette), hot and cold numbers and automatic play.
American Roulette: One of the differences with the European one, which is that it has a number plus 00. If the player makes an odd / even bet, low / high and the ball lands on 0 or 00, the player loses his bet.
French roulette: It has 37 numbers. One of the exclusive rules of this modality is La Partage whereby if the ball lands on the number 0, the player will only lose half of his bet of 1 to 1 payouts: higher / lower, even / odd and red / black.3D Roulette: It is the version of the European roulette, but with 3D graphics that give a different visual experience.Low Stakes Roulette: It is an option of European roulette, but with lower stakes on the table.
What is the live roulette experience like?
It is the perfect combination of sensations that are experienced when playing with a real dealer in a perfect visual experience both on PC, Mac, iPhone, Android and smartphones and they can also choose between an immersive, classic or 3D view.
The dealers are prepared to entertain and interact with users in conversations in different languages where they respond to what the players write from the chats.
In live roulette there are also different options. Immersive Roulette features high definition at over 200 frames per second with camera shot changes. Dragonara Roulette transports players to Maltas Dragonara Palace, one of the most luxurious casinos in the world. And an autoruleta is also available.
Specifically, the options are adapted to the tastes of the different players and 888 is distinguished by the variety, quality and attention to its customers, an experience that without a doubt you cannot stop living if you like online games.

Chamber: Restaurant Roulette supporting local eateries
WEIRTON The Weirton Area Chamber of Commerce is asking area residents to take a chance while supporting their local eateries.
Restaurant Roulette is a contest, which Chamber President Brenda Mull explained is a new way to show support for area restaurants.
When you go out to eat, save your receipts and drop them off at the chamber, Mull said, noting residents should write their name and phone number on each receipt.
Receipts mailed to the chamber also will be accepted but not those e-mailed, faxed or photocopied. For those stopping by the chamber office located at 3174 Pennsylvania Ave., Suite 1 outside of business hours, or not wishing to go inside, a blue bag has been placed under the offices mailbox.
Each week of the contest, chamber officials will draw a name, and the winner will receive a gift card to a local restaurant.

The contest runs through April.
