Op een parkeerplaats achter een zwembad in Nieuwerkerk aan den IJssel is in de nacht van maandag op dinsdag een auto afgebrand. Hoe dat kon gebeuren is niet bekend.

Wie ’s ochtends meteen strak zijn bed opmaakt, helpt huisstofmijten onbedoeld aan een ideale leefomgeving.

Na een nacht slapen zitten matras, dekbed en kussen vol warmte en vocht, afkomstig van zweet en huidschilfers. Huisstofmijten gedijen juist in zo’n warm en vochtig microklimaat, waarschuwen experts. Door het bed direct dicht te slaan met dekens en een sprei blijft die vochtige lucht opgesloten, waardoor de mijten zich kunnen vermenigvuldigen.

Artsen en slaapexperts raden daarom aan om het bed na het opstaan eerst een tijd open te laten liggen. Door dekbed en kussen volledig terug te slaan en een raam open te zetten, kunnen textiel en matras beter drogen en neemt het aantal mijten en hun allergenen af. Vooral voor mensen met astma of huisstofmijtallergie kan dit verschil maken, omdat de uitwerpselen van mijten klachten als benauwdheid en eczeem kunnen verergeren.

De praktische richtlijn: laat je bed minstens een half uur, liever één tot twee uur, open en onopgemaakt liggen voordat je het netjes maakt. In die tijd kan het bed luchten en drogen, terwijl de slaapkamer door het open raam verlucht wordt. Pas daarna is het verstandig om het dekbed weer recht te leggen of een sprei over het bed te trekken.

BEIROET (ANP/AFP) - Bij een Israëlische luchtaanval op Kfar Dounine in het zuiden van Libanon zijn zes personen omgekomen. Dat meldt het Libanese staatspersbureau NNA.

Doelwit van de aanval was volgens NNA een woonhuis. Zeven mensen zouden gewond naar een ziekenhuis in Tyre zijn gebracht.

Ondanks een staakt-het-vuren dat op 17 april werd afgekondigd, voert Israël vrijwel dagelijks aanvallen uit in Libanon.

Since the start of the current conflict, more than 20,500 Ukrainian children have been taken by Russia

It looks like a typical teenager’s bedroom: football shirts on the wall, crumpled clothes on the floor, exercise books open on the desk. But it is a work of political art, intended to evoke the empty rooms of more than 20,500 Ukrainian children unlawfully taken to Russia.

The work was on display on Monday at the headquarters of the European Commission in Brussels, as delegates from 63 countries and international organisations gathered to discuss how to bring Ukraine’s children home. “It’s essentially a way for someone to step into Ukraine without having to actually travel there,” Isaac Yeung, a co-creator of the installation, said.

The BYD factory being built in Szeged, Hungary, is facing scrutiny after reports of EU labour laws being violated among the Chinese migrant workforce

Multilingual signs in most airports in the EU opt for English, but in Hungary, there is also Chinese, making it easy for migrant workers flying in to staff China’s first electric car plant in Europe – due to open in 2027.

The third language was introduced in 2019 as the recently ousted leader Viktor Orbán embarked on a “comprehensive strategic partnership” with China, positioning himself as its most reliable friend in Europe.

Gordon Brown and Harriet Harman offer experience and political craft, but to reap the benefits, the PM himself will have to change

There comes a time, in the dying days of a relationship, when you start to become irritated merely by the sound of your partner’s breathing. It’s not kind, and it’s not necessarily rational, but it is what it is. Nothing they can do is going to fix it, and nothing they say makes it better – even if they suddenly start promising to do all the things you’ve been begging them to do for years. It all just seems too little, too late. And that is roughly where the parliamentary Labour party now finds itself with Keir Starmer.

His response to the bloodbath of last week’s local elections, in which he brought back Gordon Brown and Harriet Harman as advisers while promising something bigger and bolder than the creeping caution of the 2024 manifesto, was a promise to change aimed squarely at the MPs threatening to oust him and yet somehow it seems only to have deepened the frustration. Most would love nothing better than to get closer to Europe, as he promised; many have been screaming for months that, as he acknowledged, people are crying out for change to come faster. And the back-to-the-future appointments of two more New Labour veterans, to a team already groaning with survivors from the more successful 1997 to 2010 Labour governments, at least shows an understanding of where the plumbing is blocked.

Anti-graft agencies say Andriy Yermak suspected of participating in criminal group that laundered $10.5m in housing project, which he denies ownership in

Ukrainian authorities have named Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s powerful former chief of staff as a suspect in a major corruption investigation, a move likely to pile pressure on the president’s office at a sensitive moment in the war with Russia.

Kyiv’s political class was rocked by a wide-ranging probe last year that had fuelled public anger and prompted the ex-top adviser and Zelenskyy’s right-hand man, Andriy Yermak, to resign.

Het woord ‘traan’ roept bij veel mensen associaties op met walvissen. Klopt dat?

A veteran network architect named James Thain has drafted a proposal for “Internet Protocol Version 8” (IPv8) and hopes to crowdfund work to create a testbed that will demonstrate his ideas. Thain’s proposal appeared as an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Internet-Draft on April 16th. Like all such documents, it has no official standing – the multistakeholder systems under which the internet is governed allow open participation and this is Thain’s contribution. The draft opens with a bold vision for IPv8, describing it as “a managed network protocol suite that transforms how networks of every scale – from home networks to the global internet – are operated, secured, and monitored.” On the IPv8 website he describes it as “a managed network protocol suite that resolves IPv4 exhaustion, unifies network management, and stays 100 percent backward compatible — no flag day, no forced migration.” The draft protocol is also “a proper subset of IPv8. An IPv8 address with the routing prefix field set to zero is an IPv4 address. No existing device, application, or network requires modification.” In conversation with The Register, Thain said he created the IPv8 draft because existing protocols were developed for the networking problems of the day, and things have now well and truly moved on. He also thinks that few organizations other than hyperscalers and network operators have a good reason to adopt IPv6, because it doesn’t offer major improvements over IPv4 and migrations to the newer protocol seldom produce return on investment. He allows that IPv4 exhaustion means many organizations and network operators do need to consider IPv6 but feels the best course of action is to improve IPv4 so users get a better protocol without the need for upgrades. One improvement in IPv8 expands the IPv4 numberspace by adding what he calls an “area code” based on a network operator autonomous system number (ASN), the unique identifiers assigned to networks by regional internet registries. ASNs effectively function as addresses for a network, to inform routing decisions. IPv8 proposes an address format r.r.r.r.n.n.n.n where the “r” is the ASN address encoded as a 32-bit integer and the “n” is a conventional IPv4 address. This scheme means every ASN holder gets 232 host addresses – 4,294,967,296 addresses apiece. Thain thinks that will suffice for almost every organization, and those who need more probably already operate multiple ASNs. His scheme would see the IPv4 numberspace expand to around 30 trillion (3 x 1013) unique addresses. That’s well short of the 340 undecillion 3.4 x 1038 addresses available under IPv6, but Thain thinks it’s still enough and that users will appreciate not having to migrate away from IPv4. “It doesn’t require a ton of changes to Border Gateway Protocol which already knows how to route multiple protocols,” Thain told us. “So does MPLS.” IPv8 therefore “gives you a roll forward of IPv4, you just need servers to translate the ‘area codes’. The rest of the stack is all well-known,” Thain said. “There is no magic here, it is just an area code plus IPv4 Another IPv8 feature is what Thain calls a “Zone server” that his draft explains “runs every service a network segment requires: address assignment (DHCP8), name resolution (DNS8), time synchronisation (NTP8), telemetry collection (NetLog8), authentication caching (OAuth8), route validation (WHOIS8 resolver), access control enforcement (ACL8), and IPv4/IPv8 translation (XLATE8).” IPv8 has caused a stir in internetworking circles, and some at times bitter criticism. Others have been more nuanced. Silvan Gephart of ISP Openfactory blogged about the draft and said “I like that there is a proposal thinking about the routing table, addressing, management, authentication and operational complexity as one bigger problem.” Some of the criticism levelled at the protocol suggests it’s the work of AI. Thain doesn’t shy away from having used chatbots to work on his draft and told The Register he feels doing so is contemporary practice. He thinks he can prove the nay-sayers wrong by building an IPv8 testbed and has commenced a crowdfunding campaign that aims to raise $100,000 to cover the cost of developing open-source software, research and testing infrastructure, plus demos and documentation.
