Can a Big Early-Season Scoring Night Put an NBA Star on MVP Path?
Fact Checked by Michael Peters
Phoenix's Devin Booker came within a made basket of eclipsing the 60-point plateau for the second time in his eight-year NBA career over the weekend.
The three-time All Star managed to finish Saturday's 118-114 come-from-behind win over the New Orleans Pelicans with 58 points on 21-of-35 shooting, marking the fifth time he's notched more than 50 points in a game.
It also nearly marked the 24th time a player has scored at least 60 points before New Year's Day. Perhaps it's a blessing in disguise for Booker and anyone in Arizona sports betting backing him in NBA MVP betting that he missed the mark, as none of those scorers wound up winning the award at year's end.
Oddsmakers at BetMGM Sportsbook Arizona give the former Kentucky Wildcat +2200 odds of taking home the MVP trophy.
Booker ranks in a tie with Pelicans forward Zion Williamson for seventh on the NBA betting MVP odds board, though that could change quickly if the Suns continue their winning ways.
BetArizona.com took a look at how 60-point scorers in pre-New Year's Day games wound up faring at season's end, MVP-wise.

Booker Could Join Elite Company in Coming Weeks
If Booker is able to eclipse the 60-point mark in any of the Suns' final six games of 2022, he'd join the likes of Wilt Chamberlain, Kobe Bryant and Elgin Baylor as a member of the pre-New Year's 60-point club.
Phoenix wraps up the calendar year with games against Memphis at home and travels to face off against Denver, Memphis, Washington and Toronto
Booker scored 50 points against the Wizards in Phoenix on March 27, 2019, but has yet to crack such a milestone against any of the other franchises in his career.
His highest point total against Denver came in March, when he scored 49 points in the Mile High City, while Booker has scored 48 against Memphis (in 2019).
The game against Denver will receive ample attention from Arizona sports betting apps, part of the NBA's Christmas Day schedule.
Booker's highest scoring game of his career came on March 24, 2017, when he torched the Boston Celtics on the road for 70 points in a 130-120 loss.
Early Breakout Games Don't Equate to MVP Votes
Although early-season high-scoring games receive a lot of attention, they don't tend to stick in the minds of MVP voters.
Chamberlain scored 60 or more points seven times before New Year's Day in the 1962-63 season and finished seventh in MVP voting. Despite averaging 44.8 points and 24.3 rebounds, Chamberlain didn't receive a first-place vote, while Boston's Bill Russell took home the MVP trophy.
There have only been six 60-plus point scorers before New Year's Day since 2000. The most recent player to perform the feat, James Harden, scored 60 points for Houston against Atlanta on Nov. 30, 2019. He went on to finish third in MVP voting that season. The award went to Milwaukee's Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Why organisations should embrace long-term cybersecurity planning
Richard Cassidy 1st March 2021	(Last Updated March 1st, 2021 14:25)
The cybersecurity industry is well known for its rapidly evolving landscape, with new threats emerging on a near-daily basis. As a consequence, many organisations are reluctant to attempt any form of meaningful long-term cybersecurity planning for fear of those plans quickly becoming obsolete.
Instead, they rely on short-term, largely reactionary strategies that focus on trying to detect threats before a significant data breach can take place. Unfortunately, such an approach condemns these organisations to a lifetime of playing catch up against the perpetrators of attacks – which is exactly what the attackers want.
Old vectors die hard
In a lot of ways, the cybersecurity industry itself is to blame for the current predicament. Fear of the unknown has long been one of the cornerstones of cybersecurity sales techniques. After all, how can you protect against something you don't even know about without the latest technology?
But while such an approach may be useful when trying to sell the new products and solutions, it actively encourages a short-term mindset amongst customers. It also ignores key trends within the landscape that could be used to build a viable long-term cybersecurity approach, such as the fact that the vast majority of emerging threats still rely on the same old attack vectors they have done for years.
For instance, 95% of attacks on enterprise networks today begin with a successful spear phishing attempt, according to the SANS Institute. Spear phishing is hardly new; it's been around for more than a decade. Phishing itself is one of the oldest tricks in the cybercrime book, with the earliest examples dating back over 30 years. Nearly every modern cyberattack still utilises some form of social engineering too, a technique that criminals from all walks of life have been relying on for centuries.
Not only are these attack vectors old, but so are the most effective defences against them. Chief among them is the establishment and maintenance of a robust cybersecurity training programme for all employees, helping them to quickly identify and report any phishing/social engineering attempts they encounter. As any cybersecurity expert will tell you, employees are always your first (and most effective) line of defence against cybercrime, and a little investment goes a long way.
In this regard, while the ongoing game of cybersecurity 'cat and mouse' may have changed in its appearance over the years, the rules haven't changed much at all. Many of the same criminals who were attacking mainframes back in the eighties and nineties are attacking cloud platforms today, using very similar tactics and techniques. This begs the question, 'is it an outdated mindset that's holding the industry back, rather than outdated tech?'
Scale is now the biggest challenge
Of course, this doesn't mean the challenges facing modern cybersecurity professionals haven't changed at all. Perhaps the most striking difference between then and now is the scale of the task at hand. Over the decades, megabytes of data have turned to gigabytes, then terabytes and soon many organisations will be dealing in petabytes.
The same evolution can be seen in data transfer speeds and in Moore's law, of doubling data processing power speeds. Elsewhere, changing business practices (accelerated by the ongoing pandemic) have resulted in ever greater numbers of employees working outside a traditional office setting, making it harder and harder to keep track of data and/or spot tell-tale signs of a potential security breach.
Fortunately, data analytics and anomaly detection are two key areas where investment in modern security technology really can make a difference. Advances in machine learning and automation mean organisations can now build platforms that take much of the manual burden off analysts, saving time and allowing them to concentrate on areas of the security process where their input will be more valuable. Such technologies are also becoming much more affordable, meaning businesses of all sizes and budgets can now benefit from the advantages they offer.
There's will always be something new around the corner
Cybersecurity vendors are now touting quantum computing as the next big thing to shake up the industry. Many claim it'll give criminals the ability to crack user passwords and encryption keys much more easily, significantly reducing their reliance on social engineering.
While this may be the case, there's no need to start panic buying new, unproven security tech just yet. Even if the emergence of quantum computing does lead to an upsurge in criminal activity, there's already a wide range of established technologies, such as user entity behaviour analytics (UEBA), which can be used to effectively counteract it. UEBA works by monitoring genuine user's behaviour over time and establishing benchmarks for 'normal activity' based on key criteria including the time of day, network folders accessed and geographical location.
Consequently, if any user's behaviour deviates too far from their norms, such as logging in from Russia at 5 am when they usually log in from the UK during normal business hours, it will automatically trigger an alert for the security team. Behavioural analytics can also automatically stitch together data from multiple activity streams, quickly creating a comprehensive incident alert that gives security teams much needed context about an unfolding event.
The cybersecurity industry has long been driven by fear of the unknown, resulting in a culture where the concept of long-term planning has been all but abandoned. Yet despite ever-present concerns about emerging threats, a closer look often reveals a startling number of similarities between the old and the new.
With this in mind, organisations shouldn't let uncertainty prevent them from considering how they can effectively extend their cybersecurity planning cycles to 10+ years over time. While the future may be unknown, chances are it will be more familiar than you may think.
Richard Cassidy is senior director of security strategy EMEA at Exabeam, a company that provides big data security analytics solutions.

SA's beer industry crosses fingers that the alcohol ban won't prolong beyond mid-January
SOUTH AFRICA – It's just days after the government of South Africa reinstated the ban on alcohol sales that the industry players have already started feeling the pinch brought by the move.
The Beer Association of South Africa (BASA) has called for the lift of the renewed ban, saying small craft brewers would not survive if it was extended beyond mid-January.
The prohibition, designed in part to ease the burden on hospitals from vehicle accidents and drinking-related violence, was implemented nationwide on December 29.
However, this being the third ban on the industry, it is set to escalate the dire situation it has been in as the previous two alcohol bans, which lasted more than three months combined, cost SA's beer industry an estimated 7,400 jobs and R14.2bn (US$940m) in revenue, according to the association.
"BASA is therefore calling on President Ramaphosa to consider the plight of craft brewers by not extending the blanket ban on alcohol beyond 15 January."
Beer Association of South Africa
The industry body comprising of the Craft Brewers Association, Heineken South Africa and South African Breweries, has warned that independent craft breweries are "on the brink of closure".
"The third ban is devastating to craft brewers, who are small businesses owners who work within small margins," said CEO Wendy Pienaar.
"Members have depleted their savings and are in desperate need of financial relief," she said.
The association said it was aware of the severity of the health crisis and supported all efforts to curb the coronavirus infection rate, but stressed the need to work together "to save both lives and livelihoods in this fight".
Serving as a light at the end of the tunnel, the restrictions are set to be reviewed by January 15.
"BASA is therefore calling on President Ramaphosa to consider the plight of craft brewers by not extending the blanket ban on alcohol beyond 15 January," it pleaded.
In the same vein, Anheuser-Busch InBev NV's (AB InBev's) South African division is seeking to challenge the ban in court, saying the measure to contain the coronavirus is unconstitutional.
SA Breweries, which makes popular lagers including Castle Lite, Hansa and Carling Black Label, supports a reduction in trading times, but sees a prohibition as "beyond what is reasonable and necessary," according to a statement it recently issued.
The Johannesburg-based unit argues the decision restricts rights including freedom to trade and human dignity.
Distell Group, South Africa's biggest wine and spirits producer, doesn't support legal action at this stage and prefers to work closely with government to resolve the matter, reports Moneyweb.

Q: How to set connection string towards website hosted on IIS by specifying hostname header I have my .net core api that wants to access a service which is hosted on another server. My current working connection string is:
"AuthorityUrl": "https://identity.test.company.eu/"

The https://identity.test.company.eu is a website listening on a Server whose address is 192.168.41.2 . This website is hosted on IIS and listening to all unassigned ip with hostname in the bindings set to identity.test.company.eu . This means that IIS redirects the call towards this specific website. How does it do it? It reads that the incoming http call has hostname header equals to identity.test.company.eu and therefore is able to route the call.
Now, let's say that I don't have access to the DNS mapping and that I have to set manually in my connection string that I want to send a request to the 192.168.41.2 server and include in the call the hostname header identity.test.company.eu . In such a way IIS on the server redirects the call towards the right website. How can I do this?
Thansk!

David Letterman Picks the Lowest Point of Donald Trump's Presidency Thus Far
Now the host of Netflix's "My Next Guest Needs No Introduction," Letterman also predicts Trump will lose in a big way this week.

Regardless of the 2020 Presidential Election (ostensibly) coming to an end this week, it's surely going to be a relief for many Americans that one of the most tumultuous campaign cycles in the history of the United States will be over. That includes David Letterman, who recently gave a wide-ranging interview to Vulture, digging into not only the election but also his popular new talk show on Netflix, "My Next Guest Needs No Introduction," which recently unveiled its second season. During the conversation, Letterman was asked to recall what he believed the nadir of Donald Trump's presidency has been thus far.
"Well, I'll tell you when it really began was when he declared that the press was the enemy of the people," referring to comments from Trump that originated in early 2017 on Twitter, soon after his inauguration and as just one of his many rampages upon "fake news."
"And to me, this seemed like something you hear coming out of Venezuela, when Hugo Chávez was running that country," Letterman continued. "I thought, 'This is not right.' Even ill-informed people like myself know that this is not right. The press is not the enemy of the people. The press educates the people. The press informs the people. The press does the heavy lifting for people who don't need to be aware of every single thing that's going on because the press is doing that job for them."

Trump, who has had a hostile relationship with the press for decades, repeated such remarks many times both in public and on his Twitter account. (According to a New York Times report, as of this time last year alone, Trump had used the phrase, which NYT pointed out is typically used by autocrats, 36 times on Twitter.)
Letterman went on to say, "So to single [the press] out as the enemy for the people, that's when I really thought, 'Oh my God.' Having said that, as we know, things have gotten worse. But I'm tired of criticizing the president. I'm tired of criticizing the administration. I'm tired of moaning and hand-wringing. I think this man is a bully, and bullies frighten people. But just by voting, I think that's going to be the end of it. Then I think the real fun will begin — to see what transpires after this job is taken out from under him."
Letterman also added that Trump's possible loss following November 3 "will be a relief to every living being in this country, whether they realize it now or not. It certainly will be a relief to me and my family, and I think generally the population. I'm more confident now than I was then, and I was pretty confident then. I was wrong. I don't think I'll be wrong this time."

Q: How can I clone an Elastic Beanstalk environment from the AWS SDK for Java? I need to clone an Elastic Beanstalk environment from the AWS SDK for Java.
I found this answer explaining how to create an environment but I can't find any example or documentation showing how to clone an environment.
I found a clone method for CreateEnvironmentRequest but according to the documentation it clones the CreateEnvironmentRequest object, not the environment.

A: There has been an issue opened for this as for now the clone operation is not possible from the sdk. If you're interested you might want to reopen the ticket and provide your reason.
The other possibility is to call the eb cli from your Java to run the clone of your environment.

A: Well, you can't exactly clone an environment with the Java SDK for AWS, my approach is to simply create a new environment every time, you can do something like this:

*

*Upload your deployment file (war, zip whatever) to S3

*Create a version for your deployment linking to the previously uploaded file
private CreateApplicationVersionRequest createApplicationVersion() {
    return new CreateApplicationVersionRequest()
            .withApplicationName("The app name")
            .withAutoCreateApplication(true)
            .withSourceBundle(new S3Location("bucket_name", deployedArtifactId))
            .withVersionLabel("a number for the version");
}

*You go and look for the latest version of your stack
private void getLatestStackSolutionVersion() {
    ListAvailableSolutionStacksResult response = beanstalkClient.listAvailableSolutionStacks();
    for (int i = 0; i < response.getSolutionStacks().size(); i++) {
        if (response.getSolutionStacks().get(i).contains("Java 8") {
            stackName = response.getSolutionStacks().get(i);
            break;
        }
    }
}

*Configure the properties of your environment, system properties and everything.
private Collection<ConfigurationOptionSetting> setEnvironmentProperties() {
    Collection<ConfigurationOptionSetting> configurationOptionSettings = new HashSet<>();
    configurationOptionSettings.add(new ConfigurationOptionSetting("aws:autoscaling:launchconfiguration", "InstanceType", "t2.medium"));
    configurationOptionSettings.add(new ConfigurationOptionSetting("aws:ec2:vpc", "VPCId","thevpcid");
    configurationOptionSettings.add(new ConfigurationOptionSetting("aws:ec2:vpc", "Subnets", "thesubnets");
    configurationOptionSettings.add(new ConfigurationOptionSetting("aws:ec2:vpc", "ELBSubnets", "theelbsubnets");
    configurationOptionSettings.add(new ConfigurationOptionSetting("aws:elasticbeanstalk:application:environment", "ANOTHER_PROPERTY", "a value"));
    return configurationOptionSettings;
}

*Create the environment with everything ready.
public void deployCreatingEnvironment() {
    getLatestStackSolutionVersion();
    beanstalkClient.createApplicationVersion(createApplicationVersion());
    beanstalkClient.createEnvironment(setupNewEnvironment());
}

Voilà! It is like cloning everytime, hope this works for you.

From February 2009, The Simpsons is aired in High Definition and widescreen. Due to this new format, the opening credits sequence had to be reanimated. While the credits largely follow the same pattern, there are many differences, including new characters, scenes and running gags! We've meticulously listed them below.
In the very first scene, a three-eyed crow flies past. It caws as we move into a sweep over the power plant - this is the same crow we've heard from every past establishing shot of the plant.
From there we go past the tire fire and to Springfield Town Square, where Kearney and Jimbo saw off the head of Jebediah Springfield. It lands on Ralph Wiggum.
Next we follow a road towards Springfield Elementary. Look out for: The Android's Dungeon and Baseball Card Shop, Phineas Q. Butterfat's Ice Cream Parlour (with Marge-esque cone on top), Lardlad Donuts (the three-eyed crow sits atop the donut), and a billboard. Initially the billboard said Krusty: Now Doing Funerals but it has become a new running gag, changing every episode.
This is still largely the same; however, notice the framed photo of Homer as an astronaut on the wall. When Bart flies off the school steps, he lands on a pile of leaves, which it turns out are covering Barney. He lets out a belch as Groundskeeper Willie shakes his fist.
Homer still leaves work with plutonium stuck to his back. In the background, however, Burns and Smithers are absent: instead, Lenny and Carl try to add a day to the "no accident" count, but Lenny falls off the ladder.
Patty & Selma buy a trolley-load of cigarettes. When Maggie is scanned, the running total on the checkout doubles from $243.26 to $486.52 (i.e. she 'costs' $243.26), as opposed to her previous price of $847.63. Matt Groening stated the original figure was the monthly cost of raising a baby in America - does this mean that 20 years later, it's much cheaper?
Among the magazines are Donut Fancy, Anxious Mother and Peephole. An advert on the back of Marge's magazine reads Absolut Krusty . Marge is buying Frosty Krusty O's, Mr. Sparkle, and Tomacco Juice.
When Maggie is plonked in the trolley, Gerald (the monobrow baby) is in the neighbouring trolley. They shake their fists at each other.
A photo of Bleeding Gums Murphy is on the wall behind them. Sherri and Terri are playing handheld consoles instead of flutes. Lisa does her usual solo, but now she pops her head back round the door after leaving.
Otto catches and eats Homer's plutonium when Homer throws it out the car.
As Bart skates across the road, Hans Moleman lifts the manhole cover and pops his head up from the sewer. Marge runs over the cover, pushing Moleman back down.
Maggie still appears to be driving the car for a few seconds, however, on the pan out, Grampa is also in the car. When Marge and Maggie toot their horns, he wakes up startled and his teeth fall out. Also note Maggie's upgraded Krusty brand steering wheel.
The super-fast pan across Springfield appears to be more-or-less the same, but there are quite a few differences. A Duff blimp flies at the far left of the scene, and El Barto graffiti is on the wall.
On the driveway, instead of being comically chased into the living room by Marge's car, she now hits Homer and he goes flying through the wall, leaving a cartoony outline.
The couch gags appear to follow the same format - though the first HD episode's couch gag in extremely long and convoluted. The notable change here is that the family are now watching a HD widescreen television - though it falls off the wall and smashes!
At the very beginning, the crow flies right-to-left instead of left-to-right.
When the statue head falls on him, Ralph says it's dark! instead of aah!
There is a new billboard (we assume it will be changing every week).
Barney says hey! instead of belching when Bart lands on him.
Jessica Lovejoy is no longer purple in the school band scene.
Disco Stu says whoa as Bart skates past (previously silent).
The television doesn't fall off the wall at the end.
