SportsAlbania won yesterday evening with a score of 2-0 in the second qualifying match against Moldova, with goals from Yasir Asani and Nedim Bajrami.
But the first goal seems to have left an impression on UEFA itself, which included it among the 4 best of the evening and asked for the public’s vote to evaluate what they like the most.
The striker from Skopje unlocked the score with a fantastic shot from outside the area, finding the triangle of the goal.

SportsLewis Hamilton led George Russell to a Mercedes one-two in Friday practice at the Canadian Grand Prix.
The Mercedes drivers took advantage of setting their fastest times later than the other top drivers to pip early pacesetter Carlos Sainz of Ferrari.
Hamilton was 0.027 seconds quicker than Russell in Montreal.
Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso was fourth, ahead of Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc and Red Bull’s Max Verstappen, 0.424secs slower than Hamilton.
The day was disrupted by three separate red-flag stoppages over two sessions, and the first session was wrecked by a technical problem with the track closed-circuit television system, which is part of F1’s safety apparatus.
The CCTV problem meant the first session was stopped after only 12 drivers had set just one flying lap and officials decided to extend the second session by half an hour to 90 minutes so teams could make up some of the lost track time.
The revised schedule meant teams ran programmes that differed from each other more than would be usual in second practice.
Mercedes chose to do their race-simulation runs early in the session and their qualifying-style laps later, an unconventional approach.
Red Bull seemed to do their fast laps at the start of the session, when the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve was at its slowest, while Ferrari ran medium-compound tyres at the start of the session before running soft tyres next.
That led to an unexpected order, with Verstappen slower than his usual pace and Mercedes faster.
Alfa Romeo’s Valtteri Bottas was seventh fastest, with the second Red Bull of Sergio Perez, Aston Martin’s Lance Stroll and Alpine’s Pierre Gasly completing the top 10.
The best comparison of pace was provided by the Ferrari and Red Bull drivers, who did their race runs at the same time on the medium tyres.
They provided encouraging numbers for Ferrari – Leclerc was about 0.1secs slower than Verstappen over a run of more than 10 laps. Sainz and Perez were not a match for their team-mates.
Hamilton said: “It was OK. Probably the bumpiest circuit we have been on for a long time. But bit of a strange day. Missed the first session, felt really bad for all the fans.
“I love driving this track. It’s mega. The car didn’t feel bad but I think we definitely have some work to do. Not the greatest but not the worst.
“It is feeling pretty decent but it is just bumpy. I think everyone is having struggles with the bumps. We just have to improve our ride control and a bit of balance through the corner and I think we’ll be all right.
“The car is massively better than last year. The rear end is not but overall it is a step forward and I am definitely feeling the improvements we brought in Monaco.
Russell said: “I don’t think we can read too much into the timings. We did our low-fuel qualifying prep towards the end of the session when the track was quicker. It is bloomin’ bumpy.
“I think we’re still on the tail end (of the teams behind Red Bull), especially on qualifying pace compared to Ferrari and Aston Martin.
“Valtteri looked quick and maybe an Alpine. But we know it comes to us on a Sunday. It looks to be wet tomorrow. We were strong here in qualifying (in the wet) last year. Let’s see what it brings.”
Verstappen said he “didn’t have a good day” and felt the circuit was exposing what few issues Red Bull have with a car that has won every race so far this year.
“We know our limitations with the car,” the world champion said, “and probably with the track like it is now with the bumps and kerbs it is definitely not suiting our package for now but we will try to find a few improvements.”
It was a difficult day for Alpine. Gasly initiated the red flag in the first session when he stopped on track with a lack of drive. The officials then noticed the problem with the CCTV.
And in the second session, his team-mate Esteban Ocon pulled over with a loss of water pressure in his engine.
The other red flag was caused by Nico Hulkenberg’s Haas, which suffered an engine failure on the pit straight.
Rain that had been expected for both sessions held off for most of the day before finally a torrential downpour hit, initially at the hairpin towards the end of the lap, with five minutes to go.
It is expected to be a harbinger of events on Saturday, when the forecast is for heavy rain.

TechnologyGoogle is improving Lens, its app that searches for information based on the object it identifies through the image.
Starting today (Thursday), Lens can search for skin problems if you’re experiencing one. By uploading a photo to it, Lens starts the search to find matching images, including for problems that you don’t know how to describe (bumps on the lips, lines on the nails, etc.).
This AI-powered app can be useful for people who are unsure whether to seek medical help or find alternative solutions at home.
Lens integrates with Bard, Google’s Chatbot rival to ChatGPT. The latest update comes right after last week’s where Google introduced the new option for Bard to write, run and test its code without compromising the user experience.
This improves his ability to program and solve mathematical problems. In May, Google partnered with Adobe to ‘teach’ Bard how to generate images.

SportsThe coach of the Albanian National Team, Silvinjo, appeared today in front of the media for the press conference before the match against Moldova, showing his ideas for the team in this next challenge for the Euro 2024 qualifiers.
The gathering with Poland has been even longer, this period is a bit difficult for everyone, as some arrive on one date and some on another. We are practically all together for 7-8 days, a good job.
We know the players and the players know the concepts of football and it gives you something more on the field. I am happy for the commitment, it was a difficult season for some, very good for others. We manage the workload and come to do well, then the work gives us something more, of course.
We are all used to the pressure, we have 7 finals and today is the first, very important match for us, we are charged as we said. We have a good help because we play at home and we have our fans. Today we probably have a full stadium and it is a good help. The team is good.
Today we will choose any doubts, but it is definitely a team that should propose a game. If you play, a team must be balanced, play 90 minutes and you need a team that attacks, defends, fights and proposes play. We have a group that goes to the field with a lot of desire, heart and soul to do well alongside our fans.
The level of concentration is very important, but we do not evaluate whether it is a big team or a small one. We have 7 finals and we have to do very well in every game, today is the first. At the concentration level, a concentrated team is needed. Attacks well, defends well. The concentration level is the same.
We have to be very strong with the opponents, tomorrow Moldova is strong, they have good players. But we are prepared, charged, the level of concentration is important in these moments”, said Silvinjo.

PoliticsUS cybersecurity firm Mandiant says Chinese hackers, suspected of being state-backed, exploited a vulnerability in a popular device that provides email security to penetrate the networks of hundreds of public and private sector organizations around the world. Nearly a third of them are government agencies, including foreign ministries. Fifty-five percent of the targets were from the Americas and 24% from the Asia Pacific region. They included foreign ministries in Southeast Asian countries and foreign trade offices and academic organizations in Taiwan and Hong Kong, Mandiant said. The attack against the email security gateway of the company ‘Barracuda Networks’ dates back to October.
“This is the most extensive cyberespionage campaign known to have been carried out by China since the Microsoft Exchange incident in early 2021,” Charles Carmakal, Mandiant’s chief technology officer, said in an emailed statement. The 2021 case compromised tens of thousands of computers worldwide. Mandiant, which is owned by Google, on Thursday expressed “high confidence” that the group that carried out the attack was engaged in “espionage activity in support of the People’s Republic of China”. The announcement says that the activity started in October.
The hackers sent emails containing attachments intended to gain access to the devices and data of the organizations that were targeted, Mandiant said. Barracuda announced on June 6 that some of its email security appliances had been targeted in a cyber attack since October, giving hackers access to compromised networks. The cyberattack was so severe that the California-based company recommended a complete replacement of the equipment.
After discovering the attack in mid-May, Barracuda made efforts to control and repair it, but the group of hackers, which Mandiant identifies as “UNC4841,” changed their computer viruses to try to maintain access, Mandiant said. The group then “responded with high-frequency operations targeting a number of victims in at least 16 different locations.”
News of the attack came as US Secretary of State Antony Blinken heads to China this weekend, as part of the Biden administration’s efforts to repair deteriorating relations between Washington and Beijing. His visit was originally planned for earlier this year, but was postponed indefinitely after the discovery and downing of what Washington said was a Chinese spy balloon flying over the United States.
Mandiant said the targeting of organizations and individual accounts focused on issues that are high policy priorities for China, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region. The company said the hackers searched for the email accounts of people working for governments of political or strategic interest to China at a time when they were attending diplomatic meetings with other countries. In an emailed statement Thursday, Barracuda said about 5% of its active email security devices worldwide showed signs of being impacted by the cyber attack. Barracuda said it was providing replacement devices to affected customers at no cost.
The US government has accused Beijing of being its main cyber espionage threat, as state-backed Chinese hackers regularly steal data from both the private and public sectors. Earlier this year, Microsoft said that state-sponsored Chinese hackers attacked critical US infrastructure and may be working on providing capabilities to disrupt critical communications between the US and Asia during future crises. . China says the US also engages in cyber espionage against it, carrying out cyber attacks on the computer systems of its universities and companies.

BusinessThe world of investments has been revolutionized thanks to cryptocurrencies. A decentralized element in which anyone can invest and its value can increase is very attractive to many, but it should also be borne in mind that as it goes up, so does it go down.
This is the risk that many crypto investors have and today many people are wondering what Bitcoin will be like in 2024.
Bitcoin is one of the most popular cryptocurrencies that everyone would love to invest in and has skyrocketed in value. The bad thing is that today it is not clear what will happen to the digital currency, so you can expect anything.
According to investor Félix Fuentes, Bitcoin could end this year at the level of $40,000, a very high and attractive figure for those who buy now, because they would almost double their investment.
In the end, it all depends on many factors, especially the employment situation in the United States, where the situation appears strong and stable. However, the recommendation would be to be cautious at this point, precisely because of the unpredictable situation we are currently facing in the markets.

EntertainmentI had no idea that Charlie Kaufman penned the script for an animated movie. I guess this one should be on our radar now.
We have our first look at DreamWorks Animation’s “Orion and the Dark,” written by Kaufman. The film stars Jacob Tremblay, Paul Walter Hauser and … Werner Herzog!
Based on a 2014 book by Emma Yarlett, the “darkly whimsical” film will be directed by animator Sean Charmatz in his feature debut. Here’s a synopsis:
That boy is Orion (voiced by Jacob Tremblay), an elementary schooler and full-time fraidy cat unnerved by heights, spooked by domestic animals, and rendered nearly catatonic by that worst plight of all – the dark. Only one night the Dark (voiced by Paul Walter Hauser) just about has enough, so he takes Orion on a nocturnal adventure to show the boy there’s nothing to fear but fear itself.
The film, the first DreamWorks Animation movie to hit Netflix, has no release date, but expect it in 2024.

SportsLooking for a fifth Italian final in the space of a few days. But unlike Inter, Roma, Fiorentina and the 20-year-old team, the Italian representative wants to lift the trophy. Roberto Mancini’s team must first overcome the hurdle of Spain in the Nations League.
This duel will be a repeat of the match played in the semi-finals of 2021, when the “Red Fury” defeated the Italians who were the reigning European champions and then were defeated in the final by France.
“The Spanish have long dominated the international arena and now they are changing the generation, just like us. They have a new technical staff, but for the quality of the players they have, they remain a very difficult opponent. We will see if we are good enough to win this match. It’s nice for us that we qualified among the four finalists, after going through a difficult group,” said Mancini.
“We have the opportunity to win a trophy, it is a historic chance. We cannot think that we are bound to win. We definitely have the qualities to win any trophy, but that goes for the other teams as well. Italy is similar to us. I am a believer, I believe in causes and we can write history. This is the only thing that matters”, said the Spanish coach De La Fuente.
This will be the 13th meeting in history between Italy and Spain. The results of the matches are almost balanced, but the Blues must avoid the execution of penalties, as they have always been punished by the Iberians.

TechnologyThe number of people worldwide who are informed through newspapers or TV has fallen by 10% since 2018. Younger age groups prefer to access news through social media, according to a report published on Tuesday.
Users are more interested in celebrities, influencers and personalities who appear on social networks, on platforms such as TikTok, Instagram and Snapchat, according to the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism in its annual report.
TikTok is the fastest-growing social network featured in the report, used for information by 20% of users aged 18 to 24, up 5% from last year. Less than half of respondents expressed a great interest in news in general.
“There is no reason to hope that those born in the 2000s will suddenly start preferring old websites, let alone print and television news,” said the Institute’s director in the report, Rasmus Nielsen. The report was based on an online survey of nearly 94,000 adults in 46 countries, including the United States of America.
Less than 1/3 of respondents said that a good way to stay informed is through news selected by algorithms rather than editors or journalists. Trust in the news has fallen 2% over the past year, reversing gains seen in many countries at the height of the coronavirus pandemic.
On average, 40% of respondents said they trust most of the news they read. The United States has seen a 6% increase in its trust in the news, reaching 32%, but remains among the lowest in the ranking.
While 56% of citizens in media markets say they cannot tell the difference between real and fake news online, this figure has increased by 2% from last year.
The survey found that 48% of respondents said they are very interested in news, up from 63% in 2017.
