Cambodia’s new conscription law takes effect in wake of conflict with Thailand

Published by Sam Flores

PHNOM PENH, Cambodia: Cambodia’s new conscription law, which establishes penalties of up to five years in prison for those who evade military service, has come into effect, the country’s Prime Minister Hun Manet said Monday (May 25). The law was signed on Saturday by Senate president Hun Sen in his capacity as acting head of state while King Norodom Sihamoni undergoes medical treatment for prostate cancer in China. The initiative for a new conscription law followed significant border fighting with Thailand that flared twice last year, resulting in approximately 100 deaths and the displacement of hundreds of thousands of people. The new law consists of eight chapters and 20 articles, replacing a 2006 statute that was never implemented and was considered outdated. It now requires Cambodian men aged 18 to 25 to serve two years in the military, while women may serve voluntarily. Individuals summoned for service must appear within 30 days of receiving notice or be considered as evading duty, unless a valid excuse is provided. Penalties for evasion vary according to whether Cambodia …

If You Wake Up At 3 AM Almost Every Night, You Probably Have 11 Specific Things Going On

If You Wake Up At 3 AM Almost Every Night, You Probably Have 11 Specific Things Going On

Published by Jenni Sidey

Since I was a kid, I have struggled to stay asleep through the night. I often wake up, and when I roll over to check the alarm clock, it usually shows the same time: 3:00 AM. This is the witching hour, as some say. And there are many reasons why people like us constantly wake up around this time. For starters, it could be the stress that we are holding on to. We may not realize how much our daily stress levels play into every aspect of our lives. Whether we tense our shoulders after a long day or lie restless in bed, stress is a serious, well, stressor on our bodies. There may also be more spiritual reasons for these early-morning wake-ups. You may be experiencing energy shifts or be experiencing heightened awareness at that hour. Either way, people who typically wake up at 3 AM have specific things going on in their lives. If you wake up at 3 AM almost every night, you probably have 11 specific things going on 1. You’re …

The Best Time to Eat Breakfast? It’s Not Right When You Wake Up

The Best Time to Eat Breakfast? It’s Not Right When You Wake Up

Published by Jenni Sidey

People love to debate the timing of dinner, but no meal drums up divergent opinions quite like breakfast. The popular thinking pushed by cereal companies calls breakfast “the most important meal of the day.” And yet, millions of people skip it entirely, and subside off coffee until lunch. Should we be eating breakfast at all? If so, what should we be eating? And what, from a health perspective, is the best time to eat breakfast? Nutrition experts generally agree that you shouldn’t be scarfing down food as soon as you wake up—wait a couple of hours, at least, until mid-morning. There are a few reasons for this. One is that it extends your overnight fasting window and “gives your gut a little bit more of a rest,” says Rupy Aujla, a doctor who produces podcasts and cookbooks as The Doctor’s Kitchen. Time-restricted eating—waiting at least 12 hours between the last food you eat one day and the first food you eat the next—makes the body burn fat rather than carbs and is associated with weight …

Why perimenopause makes you wake up between 2am and 4am – and practical ways to stop it

Why perimenopause makes you wake up between 2am and 4am – and practical ways to stop it

Published by Daniella Wilson

When did ‘stress’ become such a permanent fixture in our vocabulary? And what if I told you a single hormone could be sabotaging your well-being… or acting as your greatest ally? Only a few decades ago, many women navigated the menopause on their own with ‘less of a fuss’. Today, while we’re certainly more open about this stage of life, we also seem to be suffering more because of the fast pace of our modern times. Our generation has arrived at the threshold of the menopause – that is, perimenopause – ostensibly better equipped. We have more information, more resources, and more of a voice. But we’re also under a lot more pressure.  The mental load is relentless. Working days that feel like they’re 48 hours long, never-ending to-do lists, the kids, career goals, family commitments… It’s a constant race against the clock. During perimenopause, a drop in oestrogen makes your nervous system more sensitive. This can trigger a cortisol spike in the middle of the night, jolting you awake in a ‘fight or flight’ …

Doctor Offers Simple Explanation Why You Wake Up At 3am Every Night

Doctor Offers Simple Explanation Why You Wake Up At 3am Every Night

Published by Sam Flores

Almost a third of us wake up in the middle of the night at least three times a week Even though I have insomnia, my problem doesn’t actually lie in getting to sleep.  I nod off just fine, but my problem is staying in dreamland. More often than not, I wake up at 3am and simply cannot get back to sleep.  There are things I’ve learned to do to cope with the problem. “Clock blocking”, refusing to stay in bed for more than 20 minutes, and (paradoxically) willing myself to stay awake have all been effective at getting me back to sleep.  But given that almost a third of us wake up in the middle of the night at least three times a week – and that multiple friends had cited 3am as their most common early rising hour – I thought I’d ask Dr Seeta Shah from PANDA London if there’s anything “special” about that time.  Here’s what she told us… Why do I always wake up at 3am? “Waking up around 3am is a surprisingly common …

In the Wake of Anthropic’s Mythos, OpenAI Has a New Cybersecurity Model—and Strategy

In the Wake of Anthropic’s Mythos, OpenAI Has a New Cybersecurity Model—and Strategy

Published by skeptic

OpenAI on Tuesday announced the next phase of its cybersecurity strategy and a new model specifically designed for use by digital defenders, GPT-5.4-Cyber. The news comes in the wake of an announcement last week by competitor Anthropic that its new Claude Mythos Preview model is only being privately released for now—because, the company says, it could be exploited by hackers and bad actors. Anthropic also announced an industry coalition, including competitors like Google, focused on how advances in generative AI across the field will impact cybersecurity. OpenAI seemed to be seeking to differentiate its message on Tuesday by striking a less catastrophic tone and touting its existing guardrails and defenses while hinting at the need for more advanced protections in the long term. “We believe the class of safeguards in use today sufficiently reduce cyber risk enough to support broad deployment of current models,” the company wrote in a blog post. “We expect versions of these safeguards to be sufficient for upcoming more powerful models, while models explicitly trained and made more permissive for cybersecurity …

Parts of UK to experience warmest temperatures of year in wake of Storm Dave | UK weather

Published by Jenni Sidey

Parts of the UK are forecast to experience the warmest temperatures of the year so far in the wake of Storm Dave, which caused widespread damage and disruption over the Easter weekend. London and south-east England could reach temperatures of 21C or 22C on Tuesday, rising to 24C on Wednesday, while Manchester could hit 20C, forecasters said, as a short period of settled weather replaced the rain and 70mph winds that battered parts of northern England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Thursday, however, was expected to bring another big change, with temperatures predicted to drop to between 10C and 14C. It would be mostly dry on Wednesday, with spells of warm sunshine, turning fresher everywhere from Thursday, with showers or longer spells of rain and potentiality very windy weather in the north-west by Friday, the Met Office said. A Met Office spokesperson said: “As Storm Dave has now moved away, and this high pressure is building behind it, we’re now dragging up warmer air from the continent. It’s one of the seasons where it can …

Mikel Arteta took full responsibility for Arsenal’s shock FA Cup quarter-final defeat at the hands of Championship side Southampton as he refused to criticise his players for their meek performance. The Arsenal manager has overseen back-to-back defeats for the first time this season, with this dismal 2-1 loss coming after the Carabao Cup final defeat by Manchester City. Those losses have destroyed Arsenal’s dream of winning an unprecedented quadruple and significantly raised the pressure on the Premier League leaders ahead of the defining weeks of the campaign. Arteta said “now is the moment” for his team to stand up, as they remain in strong positions in both the Premier League and Champions League. “I love my players,”  the Arsenal manager said. “What they have done for nine months, I am not going to criticise them because we lost a game here. The way they are putting their bodies through everything, some of them probably didn’t even have to be here today. “I’m not going to do that [blame the players]. I’m going to defend them …

In the wake of Claude Code’s source code leak, 5 actions enterprise security leaders should take now

In the wake of Claude Code’s source code leak, 5 actions enterprise security leaders should take now

Published by skeptic

Every enterprise running AI coding agents has just lost a layer of defense. On March 31, Anthropic accidentally shipped a 59.8 MB source map file inside version 2.1.88 of its @anthropic-ai/claude-code npm package, exposing 512,000 lines of unobfuscated TypeScript across 1,906 files. The readable source includes the complete permission model, every bash security validator, 44 unreleased feature flags, and references to upcoming models Anthropic has not announced. Security researcher Chaofan Shou broadcast the discovery on X by approximately 4:23 UTC. Within hours, mirror repositories had spread across GitHub. Anthropic confirmed the exposure was a packaging error caused by human error. No customer data or model weights were involved. But containment has already failed. The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday morning that Anthropic had filed copyright takedown requests that briefly resulted in the removal of more than 8,000 copies and adaptations from GitHub. However, an Anthropic spokesperson told VentureBeat that the takedown was intended to be more limited: “We issued a DMCA takedown against one repository hosting leaked Claude Code source code and its forks.
