At U.S. Open, college students getting crash course in golf-career development

SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. | Everybody as ASU (Alabama State University) knows — how do we say this in a gentle way? — that Osiregbeme Egbakhumeh is a little . . . different. Consider his get-to-know-me info sheet on the ASU golf team's website. When asked for his favorite class, the dude listed . . . Pre-Calculus! "Yes, they made fun of me," Osime, said Tuesday afternoon in a phone interview, speaking of his fellow Hornets. He is 20, a native Nigerian, a rising junior at Alabama State and an intern in an ongoing 10-day USGA internship program called Pathways Discover, which gives college students from all walks of life, and sometimes unexpected ones, a crash course in this-is-how-we-do-it USGA fun. (This training comes in the wake of the initiation of Pathways Launch, which kicked off at the U.S. Women's Open at Riviera earlier this month with 24 students starting a three-month internship program.) But Osime is likely to have the last laugh here, at the Alabama State campus in Montgomery and way beyond it.  » Read More

I Got Free Clothes From a Local Gifting Group Online; Saved Hundreds – Business Insider

A local gifting group helped me save hundreds on a new wardrobe as we head into summer. Alexandra Frost Sometimes, being a parent means not treating yourself to a new wardrobe when the seasons change so you can ensure all the kids have new pool slides and shorts to replace the ones they grew out of last year. But as a mom of five, I've found creative ways to still get new-to-me things when our budget is tight, such as participating in our community's local "Buy Nothing" groups on Facebook. They're part of the global Buy Nothing Project, where people give away things they no longer want for free. Many neighborhoods and cities have super-local versions of these groups online to make gifting and picking up items easier. In the past, I've used such groups to score baseball equipment for my sons and small kitchen appliances and to give away baby equipment and clothes, old furniture, and even mattresses. Most recently, though, my "Buy Nothing" scrolls brought me to one of my best finds yet: a whole new summer wardrobe,  » Read More

Fake Facebook posts linked to China election influence: Expert – Focus Taiwan

Taipei, June 20 (CNA) A cybersecurity expert has warned of a coordinated Facebook disinformation campaign, suspected to be a Chinese psychological warfare test run designed to build networks for manipulating information and influencing Taiwan's November local elections. The expert, who requested anonymity but whose identity was verified by CNA, sounded the alarm Saturday after discovering a flood of outdated news posts inundating Facebook on June 15. He told local media three types of posts, which read "Presidential alerts suddenly went off," "Kaohsiung City issued an emergency announcement," and "Kaohsiung City urgently announces school/work cancellations," appeared across 163 Facebook fan pages within a short span that day. At one point, 14 pages simultaneously carried the same post, while 34 of the total 383 posts appeared within five minutes, averaging one every 10 seconds, the expert said. He added that the regularity of the pattern suggested scheduled operations by a single backend system using a fixed list of accounts, rather than posts generated by human users. Examining those Facebook fan pages, the expert found that the administrators of 154 were based overseas -- in Hong Kong,  » Read More
