NEWS OF THE STRANGE Rescuers dangled a sausage from a drone to rescue this dog from drowning Image Source: Solent  After she escaped her leash, a Jack Russell terrier named Millie went on the run. After four days, she found herself in a life or death situation. She wound up getting stuck in mudflats as tides began rising. Rescuers found her before she was swept out to sea, but, after several days of failed attempts to save her, they settled on "a crazy idea."    The rescuers  decided to cook a sausage and attach it to a drone. They then dangled the pork in front of her, luring her back to them.    However, even after this dramatic rescue, Millie wound up on the run again. What happened this time?

LIFESTYLE & LEISURE Your subtractive goals may be holding you back. Here's how to set additive ones When you look at the most popular New Year's resolutions in the categories of diet, exercise, and finances, it's easy to see why they can be such downers: They're frequently (and quite literally) subtractive in nature, with people attempting to reduce their spending, avoid certain foods, or even reduce their own size.   While some of these objectives may be motivated by legitimate, health-promoting intentions, the way they are phrased can doom them from the start.   Uncovering ways to reframe these life goals and reorient them towards positivity can affect your success. Here's how to start. More Lifestyle Updates   Morning habits that will make you feel like you have your life together High school lunch photos have parents concerned TIRED OF OFFICE POLITICS? Supreme Court rejects Donald Trump's request to shield the release of presidential records to January 6 committee Image Source: CBS News On Wednesday the Supreme Court rejected a request by former President Donald Trump to block more than 750 pages of White House documents from being sent to a House select committee investigating the U.S. Capitol riot. The records in question include presidential diaries, visitor logs, handwritten notes from Mark Meadows, binders from Kayleigh McEnany, and a draft executive order on election integrity.   A statement was issued Wednesday by Chairman Rep. Bennie Thompson and Vice Chair Rep Liz Cheney that said, "The Select Committee has already begun to receive records that the former President had hoped to keep hidden and we look forward to additional productions regarding this important information."   In October 2021, President Joe Biden declined to assert privilege over documents pertaining to Trump's administration sought by the select committee.

A controversial new report calls into question the health benefits of alcohol The World Health Federation released a policy brief Thursday claiming that no amount of alcohol is good for the heart, which is guaranteed to anger drinkers.   Critics slammed the federation's stance, claiming that it was ignoring research that demonstrates a minor benefit from moderate alcohol consumption for various cardiac problems.   Between 2013 and 2030, the World Health Organization has advocated for a 10% reduction in per capita alcohol consumption, so maybe it's time to stock up on wine before that happens.

The platform was recently exposed to "zero click" vulnerabilities that may have exposed call details and user information.    Cybersecurity researcher Natalie Silvanovich discovered the vulnerabilities when studying Zoom to determine if the platform was vulnerable to security attacks, specifically the more dangerous "zero click" kind.    "In the past, I hadn't prioritized reviewing Zoom because I believed that any attack against a Zoom client would require multiple clicks from a user," Silvanovich explained. "That said, it's likely not that difficult for a dedicated attacker to convince a target to join a Zoom call even if it takes multiple clicks, and the way some organizations use Zoom presents interesting attack scenarios."    So what do we know about the newly exposed vulnerabilities and has Zoom done anything about them yet?
