COLEEN Rooney has wowed I'm A Celebrity fans with her washboard stomach after stripping off for a jungle shower. The WAG, 38, headed straight to the waterfall after getting covered in thousands of critters during the latest Bushtucker Trial. The Arcade Of Agony trial was so horrific that Coleen needed help from a medic to get a lodged bug out of her ear with a syringe. The star tried to remain calm as the insect was washed away with a fast shot of saline. Once her ordeal was over, Coleen gathered up a towel and some clean clothes before visiting the waterfall shower. She was then shown washing her hair while wearing a black tankini. As she tilted her head backwards, the mum-of-four wowed viewers at home with her impressive figure. Once washed and clean, Coleen then sat in camp and chatted to her jungle pals in red shorts and a fresh, black bikini top. Writing on X, one fan said: "#Coleen in the shower and sitting in her bikini top 😍." Another added: "What a woman Coleen Rooney is." And a third penned: "I love Coleen, love her." This is the second time Coleen has wowed I'm A Celeb viewers with her impressive body in the shower since the series begun. In the early days of jungle life, the star was the only famous face in camp willing to wash in the freezing water. The weather in camp had been awful and the other celebrities were refusing to strip off to get clean. Coleen's campmate Danny Jones even said: "Since it’s rained I’ve not washed. Don’t fight it, just stink! What do spiders do? "They don’t get up and shower, do they? They just go, ‘I’m gonna go out for the day'." i'm A Celebrity is back for its 24th series, with a batch of famous faces living in the Aussie jungle.

"Whether the contractor and the individuals operating the tanker adhered to safety protocols after the leak is also under investigation," the officer added. Authorities have requested information from Bharat Petroleum about regulations governing petroleum, oil and gas transport, and are awaiting the details. Police have recorded statements of 30 people, including LPG tanker driver, witnesses and owners of vehicles destroyed in the fire. Tanker driver Jaiveer Singh, who underwent another round of questioning on Tuesday, told police that after being hit by the truck, gas started leaking from the tanker and turned into a fireball.

Deputy national security adviser Anne Neuberger offered new details about the breadth of the sprawling Chinese hacking campaign that gave officials in Beijing access to private texts and phone conversations of an unknown number of Americans. Neuberger divulged the scope of the hack a day after the FBI and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency issued guidance intended to help root out the hackers and prevent similar cyberespionage in the future. White House officials cautioned that the number of telecommunication firms and countries impacted could grow. Hammonton police sergeant accused of failing drug test, stealing drugs from evidence room Mays Landing man charged in hit-and-run that injured man, killed dog in Absecon $680,000 Atlantic City charter bus purchase mostly covered by state, Small says Pleasantville man accused of murdering girlfriend Mainland Regional falls to Old Tappan in state final Atlantic County Sheriff's Office warns of new scam Everything you need to know about Mainland Regional's state title game 4 Bridgeton men indicted in alleged sex trafficking ring Wonderland developer to pitch vision again Wednesday at Ocean City Tabernacle Atlantic City mayor waives first appearance on witness tampering charge Holy Spirit overcomes rain, mud, Atlantic City to win Thanksgiving rivalry, clinch WJFL division Northfield Councilman Leeds resigns, citing concerns over Mayor Chau's criminal charges 19 arrested following street operations in Atlantic City Some Atlantic City casino workers call on union boss to resign for opposing a smoking ban Mays Landing man busted for meth The U.S. believes the hackers were able to gain access to communications of senior U.S. government officials and prominent political figures through the hack, Neuberger said. “We don’t believe any classified communications has been compromised,” Neuberger added during a call with reporters. She added that Biden was briefed on the findings and the White House “made it a priority for the federal government to do everything it can to get to the bottom this.” US officials recommend encrypted messaging apps amid "Salt Typhoon" cyberattack, attributed to China, targeting AT&T, Verizon, and others. The Chinese embassy in Washington rejected the accusations that it was responsible for the hack Tuesday after the U.S. federal authorities issued new guidance. “The U.S. needs to stop its own cyberattacks against other countries and refrain from using cyber security to smear and slander China,” embassy spokesperson Liu Pengyu said. The embassy did not immediately respond to messages Wednesday. White House officials believe the hacking was regionally targeted and the focus was on very senior government officials. Federal authorities confirmed in October that hackers linked to China targeted the phones of then-presidential candidate Donald Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance, along with people associated with Democratic candidate Vice President Kamala Harris. By DAVID KLEPPER - Associated Press The number of countries impacted by the hack is currently believed to be in the “low, couple dozen,” according to a senior administration official. The official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity under rules set by the White House, said they believed the hacks started at least a year or two ago. The suggestions for telecom companies released Tuesday are largely technical in nature, urging encryption, centralization and consistent monitoring to deter cyber intrusions. If implemented, the security precautions could help disrupt the operation, dubbed Salt Typhoon, and make it harder for China or any other nation to mount a similar attack in the future, experts say. Trump's pick to head the Federal Bureau of Investigation Kash Patel was allegedly the target of cyberattack attempt by Iranian-backed hackers. Neuberger pointed to efforts made to beef up cybersecurity in the rail, aviation, energy and other sectors following the May 2021 ransomware attack on Colonial Pipeline . “So, to prevent ongoing Salt Typhoon type intrusions by China, we believe we need to apply a similar minimum cybersecurity practice,” Neuberger said. The cyberattack by a gang of criminal hackers on the critical U.S. pipeline, which delivers about 45% of the fuel used along the Eastern Seaboard, sent ripple effects across the economy, highlighting cybersecurity vulnerabilities in the nation’s aging energy infrastructure. Colonial confirmed it paid $4.4 million to the gang of hackers who broke into its computer systems as it scrambled to get the nation's fuel pipeline back online. Picture this: You're on vacation in a city abroad, exploring museums, tasting the local cuisine, and people-watching at cafés. Everything is going perfectly until you get a series of alerts on your phone. Someone is making fraudulent charges using your credit card, sending you into a panic. How could this have happened? Cyberattacks targeting travelers are nothing new. But as travel has increased in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, so has the volume of hackers and cybercriminals preying upon tourists. Financial fraud is the most common form of cybercrime experienced by travelers, but surveillance via public Wi-Fi networks, social media hacking, and phishing scams are also common, according to a survey by ExpressVPN . Spokeo consulted cybersecurity sources and travel guides to determine some of the best ways to protect your phone while traveling, from using a VPN to managing secure passwords. Online attacks are not the only type of crime impacting travelers—physical theft of phones is also a threat. Phones have become such invaluable travel aids, housing our navigation tools, digital wallets, itineraries, and contacts, that having your phone stolen, lost, or compromised while abroad can be devastating. Meanwhile, traveling can make people uniquely vulnerable to both cyber and physical attacks due to common pitfalls like oversharing on social media and letting your guard down when it comes to taking risks online. Luckily, there are numerous precautions travelers can take to safeguard against cyberattacks and phone theft. Hackers can—and do—target public Wi-Fi networks at cafés and hotels to gain access to your personal information or install malware onto your device, particularly on unsecured networks. Travelers are especially vulnerable to these types of cybersecurity breaches because they are often more reliant on public Wi-Fi than they would be in their home countries where they have more robust phone plans. This reliance on public, unsecured networks means travelers are more likely to use those networks to perform sensitive tasks like financial transfers, meaning hackers can easily gain access to banking information or other passwords. One easy way to safeguard yourself against these breaches is to use a virtual private network, or VPN, while traveling. VPNs are apps that encrypt your data and hide your location, preventing hackers from accessing personal information. An added bonus is that VPNs allow you to access websites that may be blocked or unavailable in the country you are visiting. To use a VPN, simply download a VPN app on your phone or computer, create an account, choose a server, and connect. If your phone falls into the wrong hands, there's a good chance you won't be getting it back. Out of those 91,000 phones stolen in London in 2022, only 1,915 (or about 2%) were recovered. The good news is that you can take precautions to make the loss of your phone less devastating by backing up your data before you travel. With backed-up data, you can acquire a new device and still access your photos, contacts, messages, and passwords. Moreover, if you have "Find My Device" or "Find My Phone" enabled, you can remotely wipe your stolen phone's data so the thief cannot access it. It's safest to back up your data to a hard drive and not just the cloud. That way, if you have to wipe your device, you don't accidentally erase the backup, too. Strong passwords for important accounts help protect your information while you travel, but it's just a first step. The National Cybersecurity Alliance recommends creating long, unique, and complex passwords for every account and combining them with multifactor authentication to create maximum barriers to entry. If you're worried about remembering these passwords, password managers can be a vital tool for both creating and storing strong passwords. Password managers are apps that act as secure vaults for all your passwords. Some even come with a feature that allows you to temporarily delete sensitive passwords before you travel and then easily restore them once you return. Story editing by Mia Nakaji Monnier.

Hormel Foods Corp. stock rises Wednesday, still underperforms marketLUQUE, Paraguay (AP) — Sake is perhaps more Japanese than the world-famous sushi. It's brewed in centuries-old mountaintop warehouses, savored in the country’s pub-like izakayas, poured during weddings and served slightly chilled for special toasts. The smooth rice wine that plays a crucial role in Japan's culinary traditions was enshrined on Wednesday by UNESCO on its list of the “intangible cultural heritage of humanity." At a meeting in Luque, Paraguay, members of UNESCO’s committee for safeguarding humanity's cultural heritage voted to recognize 45 cultural practices and products around the world, including Brazilian white cheese, Caribbean cassava bread and Palestinian olive oil soap. Unlike UNESCO’s World Heritage List, which includes sites considered important to humanity like the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt, the Intangible Cultural Heritage designation names products and practices of different cultures that are deserving of recognition. A Japanese delegation welcomed the announcement in Luque. “Sake is considered a divine gift and is essential for social and cultural events in Japan,” Kano Takehiro, the Japanese ambassador to UNESCO, told The Associated Press. The basic ingredients of sake are few: rice, water, yeast and koji, a rice mold, which breaks down the starches into fermentable sugars like malting does in beer production. The whole two-monthlong process of steaming, stirring, fermenting and pressing can be grueling. The rice — which wields tremendous marketing power as part of Japan's broader cultural identity — is key to the alcoholic brew. For a product to be categorized Japanese sake, the rice must be Japanese. The UNESCO recognition, the delegation said, captured more than the craft knowledge of making high-quality sake. It also honored a tradition dating back some 1,000 years — sake makes a cameo in Japan’s famous 11th century novel, “The Tale of Genji,” as the drink of choice in the refined Heian court. Now, officials hope to restore sake's image as Japan's premier alcoholic drink even as the younger drinkers in the country switch to imported wine or domestic beer and whiskey. “It means a lot to Japan and to the Japanese,” Takehiro said of the UNESCO designation. "This will help to renew interest in traditional sake elaboration.” Also, Japanese breweries have expressed hope that the listing could give a little lift to the country's export economy as the popularity of sake booms around the world and in the United States amid heightened interest in Japanese cuisine. Sake exports, mostly to the U.S. and China, now rake in over $265 million a year, according to the Japan Sake and Shochu Makers Association, a trade group. Japan's delegation appeared ready to celebrate on Wednesday — in classic Japanese style. After the announcement, Takehiro raised a cypress box full of sake to toast the alcoholic brew and cultural rite.
In a pre-recorded speech that usually reviews the year's most relevant issues, Felipe said Spain “must never forget the pain and sadness" the floods caused. The Oct. 29 floods killed more than 225 people in eastern Spain, damaging countless homes and leaving graveyards of cars piled on top of each other. In some towns, the heavy downpours that caused the floods dropped as much as a year's worth of rain in just eight hours. In early November, as Spaniards' shock at the wreckage turned into frustration, a political blame game began, directed especially at regional authorities who failed to send timely emergency alerts to cell phones on the day of the floods. The frustration of residents in hard-hit Paiporta near Valencia was on display when people tossed mud and shouted insults at the king and government officials in early November when they made their first visit to the town. “We have seen — and understood — the frustration, the pain, the impatience, the demands for greater and more effective coordination," Felipe said about how the disaster was managed. He also addressed the country's housing crunch and high rents, which have become a leading concern in the southern European country that is the eurozone's fourth-largest economy. Fast-rising rents are especially acute in cities like Barcelona and Madrid, where incomes have failed to keep up, especially for younger people in a country with chronically high unemployment. Felipe urged that “all the actors involved reflect” and "listen to each other” so that they facilitate bringing access to housing under “affordable conditions.” Spain's immigration debate should keep in mind the country's European partners and immigrants' countries of origin, Felipe said, warning that “the way in which we are able to address immigration ... will say a lot in the future about our principles and the quality of our democracy.” Felipe said Spain needed to remain calm in the public sphere, even in the face of a “sometimes thunderous” contest in its politics.

Niagara Falls MPP Wayne Gates is again calling on the provincial government to eliminate parking fees at public hospitals, a day after Niagara Health announced increases to the cost of parking at its facilities. It’s the second time in less than a month the New Democrat has asked the province to adequately fund hospitals, so they “no longer need to rely on parking fees to pay the bills,” he said. “We’re in a severe affordability crisis, and the last thing people of Ontario need is out-of-pocket costs,” Gates said during question period at Queen’s Park, broadcast on ola.org Tuesday morning. Niagara Falls MPP Wayne Gates. On Monday, Niagara Health announced its first parking rate increases in nearly nine years. The increases, effective Dec. 16, will double per-hour rates to $6, and increase daily parking rates to $19, up from $16. Monthly parking rates will increase to $96, up from $80, while the cost of staff parking will increase to $33 for two weeks, up from $27. In a statement sent by email on Tuesday, Niagara Health called parking fees “an essential source of funding for hospitals, with more than 80 per cent going directly to patient care.” “Niagara Health relies on parking revenues to help fund everything within hospital walls, from equipment and beds to linens and technology,” it said. “We have discounted pricing for frequent users, including patients, visitors, staff, physicians and volunteers.” “Niagara Health relies on parking revenues to help fund everything within hospital walls, from equipment and beds to linens and technology,” the hospital system says. At Queen’s Park, Gates said parking fees at Niagara Health hospitals will increase by 44 per cent for doctors, and by 22 per cent for hospital staff, while daily rates for hospital visitors will increase by 19 per cent. “This is at time when hospitals are experiencing a staffing crisis, and we desperately need to recruit doctors and nurses in Niagara,” he said. “I’ve heard directly from front-line hospital workers who are relying on food banks to feed their families; meanwhile, all MPPs, including the premier, don’t have to pay to park to come to work at Queen’s Park.” In response, Health Minister Sylvia Jones accused Gates of being “interested in micromanaging 140 hospital organizations.” “I will leave that to the exceptional leadership of the CEOs that we have across Ontario,” she said. Jones said the province is making sure hospitals “have the support they need,” allowing them to reduce surgical wait times to below pre-pandemic levels and “appropriately deal with emergency department wait times.” “We work very closely with our hospital partners to make sure they have the assistance and policy changes they need to make appropriate decisions based on their community needs,” she said. Gates shot back, saying: “That’s not the answer I wanted to hear. I wanted to hear you stand up and say we shouldn’t be charging parking fees in the province of Ontario.” He said there are “families whose loved ones are dying, and parents with sick kids who must go to the hospital every day, and now their costs are going up.” “For six years, the government has been underfunding hospitals by billions, forcing hospitals to try to do more for less,” he said. “The government shouldn’t force doctors, nurses, patients or caregivers to pay out of pockets to be in a hospital.” Jones said the provincial government has policies allowing hospitals to charge reduced rates for parking on a weekly or monthly basis. She said the provincial government has also been working to ensure people have expanded access for services, including diagnostics, and community surgical centres. “Those are changes we have been implementing and working directly with our partners to make sure people have choice and access in the health-care system,” Jones said. Gates previously called for an end to hospital parking fees on Nov. 5, asking the province at the time to “reverse the underfunding, provide hospital systems with the funding they need, and ensure no one — patients, families and workers alike — have to worry about paying for parking at a hospital.”
