NewsLiverpool's Greatest - No.71: Emile Heskey Published 1 day ago By Chris Shaw Years: 2000-2004 Appearances: 223 Goals: 60 Trophies: League Cup (2001, 2003), FA Cup (2001), UEFA Cup (2001), UEFA Super Cup (2001) Emile Heskey was one of the attacking spearheads of a trophy-laden period for Liverpool under Gerard Houllier. Signed from Leicester City at the outset of the new millennium, the England international could be an unplayable presence at his best. Quick, strong, deft in link-up play and a finisher with head or foot, Heskey scored 22 times in 56 appearances during an impressive first full season at Anfield, 2000-01. Predominantly in partnership with Michael Owen up front, but Robbie Fowler too, he helped the Reds achieve a remarkable treble triumph. There was League Cup, FA Cup – in which he scored in four different rounds – and UEFA Cup success that term,  » Read More

coverage endedJun 9, 2026, 10:00 PM Crypto prices rose on Monday following last week's crash, but the bears still appear to be in control. Bitcoin drifts lower Tuesday (Getty images) Bitcoin re-takes $62,000 as stocks close off worst levelsThe Nasdaq tumbled more than 3% at one point on Tuesday, helping to drag bitcoin (BTC) nearly all the way back to $60,000.

If you have spent more than five minutes on Facebook recently, you will have been bombarded by whisky cask investment adverts. Whisky beats the banks. Whisky is tax-free. Whisky always goes up in value. These claims are everywhere, and they are, frankly, laughable. The problem is that people believe them and people follow them. So I thought it was time to run through the most common myths these companies peddle and explain why the reality is far less glamorous than the glossy adverts suggest. Let’s start with the “cash loses value” myth. Yes, cash does lose value. My research suggests that cash has lost roughly 19% of its purchasing power since 2022. But here is what these adverts conveniently omit: the average whisky cask investment over that same period has likely lost closer to 30%. And unlike cash sitting on your kitchen counter with zero associated fees, casks come with storage costs, insurance, regauging, sampling, and whatever other charges get tacked on along the way. Cash is also liquid. If you need it,  » Read More

Last year, WhatsApp made history by securing a landmark verdict and permanent injunction barring NSO Group — a spyware firm blacklisted for actions contrary to US national security — from targeting WhatsApp and its users ever again. The court was unequivocal: NSO violated the federal and state laws against hacking. Today, we’re asking the court to hold them in contempt of that order. Catching and Disrupting NSO’s Targeting Attempts We successfully disrupted NSO-linked social engineering attempts, after investigating user reports. They tried to trick people into clicking on malicious links to drive them to external websites outside of WhatsApp, similar to previously reported 1-click phishing campaigns linked to NSO. We also caught them creating test accounts and groups on WhatsApp, which we took down.  We are sharing threat indicators so that anyone can check if they were targeted by NSO-linked social engineering attempts across any platform — be it text message, email, WhatsApp message, or something else. Spyware Is a National Security Threat Since 2019, our case has shown that NSO continues to build spyware tools to target people’s devices.  » Read More

By: Brad Manard It’s been a while since I’ve seen a large group of bighorn sheep rams in RMNP. It seems they used to be around more, the rams with bold chests and lifted heads standing proud like a sculpture on a rock. Luckily, in the past couple of weeks, six magnificent rams have come down from the mountain top. As with this year, back on June 3, 2021 I captured a large group near Sheep Lakes. I remember they strode down the mountain, crossed the road in a nervous rush, and reached the lakes where they often feed in the early summer. Upon their return to the mountainside, a group of four rams came striding over the slight hill between the lakes and parking area. It was as if they were warriors returning triumphantly from battle. It’s still one of my favorite bighorn images. That same year, during the bighorn rut, I traveled into Big Thompson Canyon to find several frolicking rams and ewes bounding about the rocky cliffs. They were muscular with their curled horns and thick 300 pound bodies.  » Read More

A second round of payments is set to be distributed to Facebook users in Meta’s $725 million privacy settlement. The settlement stems from multiple lawsuits brought against Facebook alleging the company shared user data without permission to third parties, including “whitelisted” parties, business partners, advertisers and data brokers. Meta denies any liability or wrongdoing, according to the Facebook User Privacy Settlement website. Settlement class members include Facebook users living in the U.S. between May 24, 2007 and Dec. 22, 2022. The initial round of payments were sent out in September 2025 to an estimated 250 million people who were eligible for a cash payout. Payment amounts were dependent on how long a person used Facebook during the class period and the number of submitted claims.Am I eligible for a second payment?A court approved a second round of payments to redistribute uncashed settlement funds to class members who cashed their initial payment, according to the settlement administrator. Those eligible for an additional payment will receive a notification to their email three to four days before the payment is issued.  » Read More
