VLAARDINGEN (ANP) - Twee personen hebben in de nacht van vrijdag op zaterdag een plofkraak gepleegd bij een pinautomaat aan de Reigerlaan in Vlaardingen. Dat schrijft de politie op X.
De verdachten zijn op heterdaad betrapt door politieagenten. Daarbij zijn door de agenten waarschuwingsschoten gelost. Er zijn geen gewonden gevallen.
Een van de verdachten is gearresteerd, de ander is op een scooter op de vlucht geslagen.
I have a device that pairs with a 433 MHz remote control, and I wish to control it from the command line. What is the simplest way?
I would like, for example, to buy an object that can memorize the remote's codes, and send them in response to an HTTP request.
Solutions that involve Siri, Alexa or services in The Clown will be rejected out of hand. I am also not enthusiastic about being forced to buy in to some massive "home automation" ecosystem. I have only two buttons that I want to press.
Drug that stops cancer cells hiding and a breakthrough for pancreatic cancer among highlights from Asco conference – but there were also notes of caution

One morning in late September 2023, I discovered by chance that my birth mother had been killed almost a year earlier. The revelation came while I was searching my work email for a stray message. In the bin folder, amid a slurry of irrelevant press releases, lay an unopened email, flagging a long-forgotten Google alert I had set up for her name, Susan Barras. We had been estranged for almost 15 years, so this in itself provoked trepidation. I had cut contact with her when our relationship had finally become too fraught and emotionally exhausting for me to continue. Opening the email, I realised with shock that the alert had been triggered by a probate notice about her estate.
Susan was only 69 when she died, and my first thought was that the breast cancer she was being treated for when we were in touch had returned. My second was the realisation that both my birth parents were now dead – my birth father had died of liver failure in late 2018, aged 70. But then the unfamiliar name listed on the probate notice, Suzann Doyle, captured my attention. Underneath this was confirmation that my birth mother had changed her name. Her address at the time of her death posed further questions.

My wife, a nervous flyer, is in a restless mood. She snatches my laptop and begins typing. I wait, arms folded.

The six police officers arrived at the Snilesworth estate in two pickup trucks last week, according to one account. They asked to go up on the moors, a source said, and “so off they went”.
A vast expanse of spectacularly undulating lands on the western edge of the North York Moors, Snilesworth is globally renowned for its grouse, partridge and pheasant shooting. It is known locally for attracting “rich people from London in helicopters and blacked-out SUVs”.
