It is zucchini season!! Yuka said it. Yuka is an app than scans and analyzes labels in the blink of an eye so you can learn at a glance which products are good for you and which ones you should avoid. It also tells you which fruits/vegetables are in season. Quite useful and convenient. Today we have a simple and inexpensive dish that I frequently cook in the evenings for dinners with…
What is the Internet of Bodies? When the Internet of Things (IoT) links with your body, the Internet of Bodies (IoB) is formed. In other words, the IoB is an extension of the IoT that connects the human body to a network via devices ingested, implanted, or otherwise attached to the body. Once the link is established, data may be shared, and the body and gadget can be remotely monitored…
Cybersecurity threats and incidents have been steadily increasing in recent years. Preventing and combating them is getting increasingly difficult. As a result, the world is continuously on the lookout for feasible solutions in order to keep one step ahead of the bad guys. Similarly, cyber security specialists are trying to rethink their methods because existing solutions are plainly ineffective. As a consequence, the thought of developing a cyber-ontology (or digital ontology)…
You have no clue how much I missed writing blog posts. I feel like it’s been years. I took the summer off to replenish my batteries, and now, I’m excited to get back on track for the fall. I’m back today with two dip recipes: hummus and cashew butter. Anyone who knows me knows how much I love Lebanese cuisine. It’s probably my favorite food. It’s so diverse and interesting.…
Cyber risks to African national security are becoming increasingly important.

However, African governments and security sector players are just beginning to recognize and respond to the ways in which digital technology is reshaping African security. There are four key areas of that threaten security activity: Espionage: the most serious worries…
I love Indian food, since it is often spicy dishes with coconut. Indian food is usually vegetarian, therefore it is not difficult for me to find something on the menu. I always choose the Daal since it is just delicious, but I must say that the butter chicken is also quite tasty and is one of the most popular curries in any Indian restaurant throughout the world, but because I…
What is the SolarWinds Hack? In early 2020, Hackers got into Texas-based SolarWind’s servers and installed harmful malware in the company’s software system, ‘Orion’ system. This system is commonly used by businesses to manage IT resources and SolarWinds has 33,000 Orion customers. Like most software companies, SolarWinds sends out updates to their systems on a regular basis, whether it’s to cure a defect or add new functionality. Therefore, beginning in March 2020, SolarWinds unintentionally sent software upgrades…
Once a month in general, I don’t feel like cooking… yes it happens even to those who love to cook! The solution in these cases is simple: ordering food. One of my favorite meals to order is pizza, especially since there is a restaurant in Strasbourg that offers the best pizzas in the city: Il Felice. Their pizzas are unusual and really fantastic. The issue??? They are not cheap. So…
Pad Thai is a rice noodle dish with stir-fry, chicken or tofu with peanuts, and a scrambled egg. The ingredients are mixed in a wok with a tasty pad thai sauce. It is traditional street food in Thailand and one of Thai restaurants’ most popular menu items. And… of course, I love Thai food, it’s colourful, tasty and different from what we eat in France, but every time I ordered…
Deterrence in cyberspace would allow for a solution to the absence of international legislation about the regulations that must be followed to lower the number of cyber-attacks. Today, this quasi-unregulated domain promotes the growth and usage of cyber weapons. While deterrence would not eliminate cybercrime, it would reduce the sophisticated, often covert attacks perpetrated by states or groups affiliated with those states. Although international accords exist, such as the Budapest Convention,…
