Misconfigured WAFs Heighten DoS, Breach RisksJUNIOR Peps from the Western Highlands has claimed the championship for the 2024 Highlands Confederate tournament after defeating Western Panthers from the Eastern Highlands 18-12 at the Baning Rugby League ground in Kudjip, Jiwaka, yesterday. The team from Mt Hagen, who will represent the Highlands region, is now on standby to participate in the national championships which will be held in Lae on November 30. Co-ordinator for Highlands Confederation Joe Tokam acknowledged all club champion teams in all affiliated rugby leagues in the highlands region for taking part in the two-day tournament. Chief executive officer for PNGRFL Stanley Hondina while officiating at the games thanked all participating teams for this year and described the tournament as a way forward because it is creating a pathway for rugby league development and also marketing players for Digicel ExxonMobil Cup franchise scouts to recruit potential players. “ Rugby has now become a multi-million industry and the onus is on us leaders to create pathways for our youths,” he said. Mr Hondina further said the National Government has already thrown its support to push PNG to have a team in Australia’s National Rugby League, thus, it’s about time youths must be serious in playing rugby. The four teams that participated in the tournament are Prum Panthers from Enga, Western Panthers from the Eastern Highlands, Junior Peps from the Western Highlands and Mt Knights from Jiwaka.
India’s Tech Mahindra aiming for bigger bite of bank tech spends, CEO saysMANCHESTER, England (AP) — Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola denied he has a “personal problem” with Kevin De Bruyne and insisted Tuesday the playmaker's absence from the team in recent weeks was down to his fitness issues. City has not won in seven games in all competitions — its worst run under Guardiola — and De Bruyne has featured only as a substitute in the last five of those matches after recovering from a pelvic injury.

Bryson DeChambeau is 0-for-91 (and counting) in his ace chase. @brysondechambeau Thirteen days ago, Bryson DeChambeau published a 40-second video to his social channels. The reigning U.S. Open champion was standing in his driveway in shorts, a T-shirt and a Crushers (his LIV team) hat turned backward. By his feet was a hitting mat pinned down by dumb bells. Behind him, two stories of floor-to-ceiling glass that is the façade of his gleaming Dallas-area home. Out of the picture, on the far side of the house: an artificial green in DeChambeau’s backyard. A hole cut a few paces off the front edge of that green was the target for the shotmaking challenge DeChambeau was about to explain to his audience. “This is Day 1 of trying to make a hole-in-one over my house,” he says in the video. “And because it’s Day 1, I only get one ball.” The implication: If DeChambeau did not hole that shot — it looks to be approximately 100 yards — he’d come back on Day 2 for two more attempts, and on Day 3 for three more swipes, and so on. Alas, DeChambeau did not jar that first try, though he did come close, his ball landing a couple of feet in front of the hole before stopping about 18 inches past it. His stunt would live to see another day. And another. And another. And well, as of Sunday, DeChambeau still has not made an ace. He is now 0-for-91, albeit with more than a handful of shots that looked destined to drop before stopping just short of the hole or veering just right or left of it. A post shared by Bryson DeChambeau (@brysondechambeau) If DeChambeau’s swing has failed him, though, the internet has not. His now 13-part series has cumulatively driven more than 50 million views on Instagram, with millions of more eyes finding the videos on TikTok, YouTube and X. Among those following along is the comedian Bert Kreischer, who on Day 10 wrote in the comments, “Im way too invested – I’m now rooting for you to not get a hole in one so this doesn’t stop.” Added another commenter, “Day 10 of asking you to hit it straight into a window.” That’s an unlikely result; DeChambeau is far too skilled. But the mere prospect of a bladed shot undoubtedly is part of the videos’ allure. So, too, are all the agonizingly close misses. According to the National Hole in One Registry, the odds of a professional golfer making a hole-in-one are roughly 3,000 to 1 . But that stat isn’t particularly useful in this instance given DeChambeau is hitting the same shot over and over and from a distance much shorter than the length of most par-3s that pro golfers are accustomed to playing. Golf stats whiz Lou Stagner, who said he is “hooked” on DeChambeau’s quest, estimated on X that DeChambeau’s odds of holing out on any given driveway swing are about 1 in 175. Assuming those odds, Stagner computed that DeChambeau’s chances of making an ace by Day 10 were 27 percent; by Day 15, 49.7 percent; and by Day 30, 93 percent. Predictably, bookies also have set lines. On Thursday, Oddschecker handicapped the chances of DeChambeau holing a shot before Thanksgiving at -150, or 60 percent, and the odds of him breaking a window at +160, or 38.5 percent. Whatever DeChambeau’s chances, his latest made-for-virality escapade is yet more evidence that no player is more successfully bridging the gap between “Pro Golfer” and “YouTube Golfer” than the 31-year-old DeChambeau. One week, he might be smashing drives on the LIV tour or locking horns with Rory McIlroy at the U.S. Open, the next he might be blasting tee balls through cardboard or watching a Space X launch with Donald Trump and J.D. Vance. Speaking of the President-elect, DeChambeau’s attempt at breaking 50 with Trump as his sidekick has now garnered more than 13 million views on YouTube. Ace chases aren’t a new gag. The DP World Tour’s excellent social-media team has been orchestrating them for years, challenging its players to make a hole-in-one with 500 swings or fewer. Earlier this year Barstool Sports personality “Jersey Jerry” spun up his own ace chase when he hopped on a simulator and pledged not to leave before he jarred a tee shot, live-streaming every hook, slice and top. After 37 hours and 2,627 swings, the internet rejoiced when Jerry mercifully achieved his goal. DeChambeau’s challenge is something different, though, because (1) he has a finite number of attempts in each installment, and (2) with the metronome-like consistency of his mechanics, every swing could be the one. DeChambeau’s seventh swing on Day 13 certainly looked to be. That try landed just short of the hole before rattling the stick and bouncing in and out of the cup. ”Are you kidding me?” DeChambeau said, clenching his hands behind his head. “Oh my god, how does that happen?” Day 14 drops tomorrow. Perhaps one of DeChambeau’s tee shots finally will, too.

This video may be the most memorable moment ever at a drive-thru in Alberta! Meet Magnum, the sweet-toothed steer who pulled into one Tim Hortons drive-thru Saturday morning in Sylvan Lake in central Alberta to pick up his favourite Timbits. Kelly Landry is originally from Quebec. She moved to Alberta last April. She tells CityNews she’s been riding the eight-year-old steer since he was 10-months-old. “I just strap and go. When I know there’s something that could be dangerous I just talk and prepare myself and try to just distract him,” she explained. Landry says she used to take Magnum on adventures to local businesses and drive-thru’s when she lived in Quebec, and she’ll continue to do the same now in Alberta. “I just rode him two times in town. He’s been here since the end of October. I can take him to the grocery. I’ll try to go to the beach.” And whether Magnum is a local celebrity, she says, “I think he will.” The video of Magnum at Tim Hortons is going viral on social media. Landry says the reactions she received online and from locals were priceless. “Many were surprised and took pictures of him. Sometimes I let people go on him, more kids.”Article content Over the years, Nissan has offered a wide range of SUVs around the world. The list has included stalwarts like the Pathfinder and Patrol (the Armada in Canada). The problem was Nissan did not have a midsize crossover, and that was the growing segment. The answer was the designed-in-North-America Murano , a vehicle that was originally based on the Maxima platform. Through ensuing generations it was sold in countries outside North America. Now entering its fifth-generation, it returns to its North American-only roots. This time around, however, the bubble-butt look of old has morphed into something with style. What competes with the 2025 Nissan Murano? The key competitors are the Chevrolet Blazer , Ford Escape , Honda Passport , Hyundai Santa Fe , Kia Sorento and Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport . Some rivals, like the Santa Fe, do have three rows, but they are more of a five-plus-two format — the third row is tight. What’s new for the 2025 Nissan Murano? While it rides on the same platform, the new Murano is significantly wider. This gives the exterior a purposeful stance and the cabin more space. The bigger news is the Murano gets a new engine and transmission along with revised suspension and steering. Inside, the Murano shifts from yesteryear to the here-and-now with a richly finished cabin and a healthy dose of technology. New Powertrain for the 2025 Nissan Murano The old V6 engine has gone in favour of the 2.0L turbo-four with variable compression — it has long been an Infiniti exclusive. The engine alters the compression ratio anywhere between 8:1 and 14:1. While it sounds complicated the principle behind its workings is simple. When running the lower compression ratio, the turbocharger blows a gale to deliver V6-like performance — the output is rated at 241 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque at 4,400 rpm, and it has regular gas diet. At the opposite end, the high compression ratio improves fuel efficiency. On the drive route, my stopwatch clocked the 0-100 km/h time at 7.1 seconds. The key is the nine-speed automatic transmission that replaces the previous (dreadful) continuously variable transmission (CVT). In the new nine-speed, the first five gears are strung together so the engine stays at a roaring boil as it runs through the shifts. All Murano models arrive with intelligent all-wheel-drive. The system powers the front wheels under most driving conditions, which helps fuel economy. However, it can send up to 50% of the drive rearward to prevent unwanted wheel spin. For example, when the Murano is stationary at a light, it proactively splits the power evenly, and before the driver mashes the gas pedal. This action brings an uneventful launch. Once moving its action remains seamless. The downside is the Murano’s towing capacity is capped at just 680-kg. 2025 Nissan Murano Fuel Economy All Murano models consume 10.6 L/100 km in the city, 8.6 L/100 km on the highway and have an average economy of 9.7 L/100 km. The annual fuel cost is $3,007, which is $207 less per year than the previous V6 Murano. How does the 2025 Nissan Murano drive? The answer is very well as long as it’s left in the Standard driving mode. Eco is way too soft and Sport is just too aggressive for anything other than a flat-out hot lap. In Sport, the transmission holds each gear too long leaving the engine running at a needlessly high rpm. If you use the paddle shifters when in Drive, it will let you upshift to quell the engine, but it only lasts for a few seconds before it automatically downshifts to the original high-revving gear. There is a proper manual mode where the driver looks after all of the shifts. Standard mode, on the other hand, sees the transmission shift quickly so it’s always in the right gear and the engine is not screaming. The best part is that when there’s a need for a burst of speed, the transmission kicks down two or three gears to deliver the desired response. It worked very well. The steering and suspension have also been revisited to great effect. The suspension’s roll stiffness is up 25.5 percent up front and 24.5 percent in the rear — roll stiffness being the suspension’s resistance to body roll. In this case, it has the desired effect and works well with the frequency selective damper style shock absorbers. These shocks are mechanical and less expensive than adaptive dampers, but have some of the upsides. Based on the speed of the body’s vertical movement the shocks can stiffen to prevent unwanted body roll and then relax to return the damping to comfort. On the drive route, the roll stiffness and shocks combined to keep unwanted body roll in check through a series of high-speed corners yet remained comfortable the rest of the time. The steering is also new. The old hydraulic system has gone in favour of a new electric setup that is nicely weighted and has good on-centre feel. It also feels faster in its response to driver input than before without feeling twitchy when running in a straight line — many fast steering setups dart away from the straight-ahead with the slightest movement of the steering wheel. The Murano’s steering is crisp and precise across the spectrum. Once lagging many of its peers from a dynamic perspective, the 2025 Murano can now hold its own. A fresh approach for 2025 Nissan Murano’s cabin Behind the Murano’s strong outward style sits a well-conceived cabin. The materials have a quality feel and the zero-gravity front seats are superb — the outboard rear seats are, likewise, above average. Behind the new D-shaped steering wheel the Murano now get two 12.3-inch displays for the reconfigurable instrumentation and multimedia interface. Both sit under a single piece of glass with unibrow surfing the top. The screens are crisp and give the information plenty of breathing space. The multimedia side has three basic wallpaper options with sunrise and sunset themes that change based on the time of day. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard across all models and in the SV it works with a six-speaker sound system. Move up to the SL and Platinum, and Google built-in arrives. It brings Google Assistant and maps among other things. There’s also a Wi-Fi hotspot and a 10-speaker Bose sound system. The Platinum bumps things further upscale with leather-appointed front seats that are heated, cooled and massage the occupant. In other words, it’s loaded. To set the interior mood there is a 64-colour ambient lighting system available. Below the multimedia screen is a new set of capacitive climate controls with the push-button shifter sitting below that. The format is clean and opens up more of the centre console for storage and allows a large cubby beneath the console. Standard safety equipment includes the ProPilot Assist. It brings adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert and auto-braking along with lane departure warning. Again, the SL and Platinum by allowing the driver to select one of eight virtual vantage points around the Murano. One of the views is the invisible hood view. It lets the driver look “through” the hood and see obstacles coming towards the Murano — it worked very well off-road in the Armada. However, in Murano’s case it is likely to be more useful for avoiding drive-through curbs. The SL and Platinum models have ProPilot Assist 1.1 as standard. It dips into the map data to slow the Murano down for an upcoming corner. How big is the 2025 Nissan Murano? The Murano is about the same length and rides on the same wheelbase, but at 2,228-mm (87.7-inches) it’s 66-mm (2.6-inches) wider than the outgoing model. This brings 1,445-mm (56.9-inches) of hip-room front and rear. For the rear riders, there’s also 922-mm (36.3-inches) of legroom and 962-mm of headroom with the moonroof in place. Behind the rear seat there’s 932L (32.0 cu.-ft.) with the seats upright. Folding the rear 60/40-split/folding seats down opens up 1,798L (63.5 cu.-ft.) and a flat load floor. Canadian Pricing for the 2025 Nissan Murano The Nissan Murano SV starts at $46,848 and moves through the SL at $50,498. It is expected to account for 40% of sales. The lineup tops out with the Murano Platinum at $54,498. Delivery is an additional $2,030. Final thoughts on the 2025 Nissan Murano The 2025 Nissan Murano was very much an also-ran because the outgoing model’s tenure made it seem too long in the tooth to be a serious player. The new Murano is the polar opposite. The key upgrades include a very nice cabin with the right blend of technology and comfort, a new powertrain that ditches the previous CVT transmission and the fact it now drives, and not wallows, its way through a corner, and it does so with rewarding precision.
