Published by Parlour News

BOSTON — Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum is on the verge of making a return to NBA action nine months after rupturing his right Achilles tendon injury during last season’s playoffs. HT Image Tatum was listed as questionable on the Celtics’ injury report on Thursday ahead of the team’s home matchup with the Dallas Mavericks on Friday night. It is the first time this season he hasn’t been listed as sidelined and undergoing rehabilitation for the injury he suffered during Game 4 of Boston’s Eastern Conference semifinal loss to the New York Knicks last May. Celtics president of basketball operations Brad Stevens has said that Tatum wouldn’t be cleared to return until he was ready to play both physically and mentally. That time may have arrived. Tatum also has previously indicated that his return to the court would be a home game. The Celtics have 20 games remaining in the regular season, including 11 at TD Garden. Boston is currently in second place in the East standings. “I didn’t come back to be no role …

Josh Hazlewood Ruled Out of Ashes Due to Achilles Injury

The Australian pacer Josh Hazlewood has been ruled out of the Ashes 2025-26 after developing an Achilles injury during his recovery from a hamstring injury. The Australian head coach, Andrew McDonald, has confirmed that Josh Hazlewood will be out of the remainder of the series on Tuesday morning ahead of Adelaide. “No, I don’t think he’ll take part in the series now,” McDonald said. “You can go with that one. It’s a totally separate injury, it’s somewhere lower in the calf to the Achilles region. “He will be out of the series, and his preparation will then shift towards the [T20] World Cup, which is an incredibly important campaign for us, but unfortunately Josh Hazlewood won’t be a part of the Ashes and [we’re] really flat for him.” “[He had] a couple of setbacks we didn’t see coming. We thought he’d play a huge part in the series, but we really feel for him that he won’t get that opportunity.” Meanwhile, Pat Cummins will be back in the team as captain for the Adelaide Test …

Josh Hazlewood, who has been recovering from a hamstring injury, has been hit with low-grade soreness in his Achilles, which makes his Ashes return uncertain. Josh Hazlewood was scheduled to join the Australia squad in Brisbane to continue his recovery, but the plans have been shattered.

Although Australia’s head coach, Andrew McDonald, expressed confidence that he could still feature later in the series. However, his recent injury development might delay his return to The Ashes 2025-26. “Josh Hazlewood reported achilles soreness this week during his rehabilitation from a recent hamstring injury,” said Cricket Australia. “It is a low-grade issue, and he is expected to recommence running and bowling next week.” Josh Hazlewood has been subjected to a list of injuries and a continuation of calf and Achilles issues.

Raring to make a comeback in north Bengal, its Achilles heel, TMC brings in a former BJP MP: Who is John Barla? | Political Pulse News

In its decade-plus time governing West Bengal, if there is a region that has been the Trinamool Congress’s ITMC) spot of weakness, it is North Bengal. After getting swept in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, the party made a modicum of comeback in the region in the 2021 Assembly polls and the parliamentary elections last year. The TMC’s chances in north Bengal received a shot in the arm on Thursday, a year before the battle for Bengal, after former BJP MP from Alipurduars John Barla joined the party at an event in Kolkata. “If development work for the people is stopped by the party itself, why should I continue in it?” Barla, a former Union Minister of State for Minority Affairs, asked after joining the party. “When I became a Union minister, I faced roadblocks every time I tried to work for the people. The party leadership repeatedly stopped me.” Story continues below this ad Barla said he wanted to build a Rs 160 crore hospital and all the formalities, including identification of land for …

How the bouncer became Sanju Samson’s Achilles’ heel

How the bouncer became Sanju Samson’s Achilles’ heel

Published by Webster

The bouncer, arguably, is cricket’s great survivor. It has outlasted fire and flood, wars and plagues, restrictive laws and format evolutions, advent of meatier bats and micro-boundaries to still breath a chilling intimidation. At the hands of a callous operator, it recites notes of dread. The Caribbean quicks were its most proficient prophets. Jofra Archer, of Barbadian heritage, reproduces the same fire as his predecessors. This series, he has employed it with raging success against one of India’s foremost T20 batsmen, Sanju Samson. In three outings, the Archer short ball has consumed his Rajasthan Royals captains thrice. That, though, tells just half of the horror story that Sanju is watching. It’s a three-layered tale of struggle. The short ball troubles him in the format. Of the 17 times he has been caught off seamers in T20Is, the short-balls have accounted for him eight times. There is a pattern in that too — either he gets out to the quicks or the medium pacers operating at a slower bandwidth. The spectrum ranges from Jofra Archer to …

Are Long-Lived Credentials the New Achilles’ Heel for Cloud Security?

Are Long-Lived Credentials the New Achilles’ Heel for Cloud Security?

Published by Webster

The head of security advocacy at Datadog, a cloud-based monitoring and analytics platform, has urged enterprises in Australia and the APAC region to accelerate phasing out long-lived credentials for popular hyperscale cloud services, warning that they remain a serious data breach risk. Speaking with TechRepublic, Andrew Krug highlighted findings from Datadog’s State of Cloud Security 2024 report, which identified long-lived credentials as a persistent security risk factor. While credential management practices are improving, Krug noted they are not advancing as quickly or effectively as needed to mitigate risks. Long-lived credentials are still a big threat to cloud security The report revealed that nearly half (46%) of organisations using AWS rely on IAM users for human access to cloud environments — a practice Datadog called a form of long-lived credential. This was true even for organisations using centralised identity management to grant access across multiple systems. Moreover, nearly one in four relied solely on IAM users without implementing centralised federated authentication. According to Datadog, this highlights a persistent issue: while centralised identity management is becoming more …
