How to make cobb salad – recipe | Felicity Cloake's Masterclass

Its origin story may be full of holes, but there’s no disputing this American classic’s status as a world beater when it comes to a tasty, satisfying salad

According to the US Institute for Culinary Education, the cobb salad is an embodiment of “the spirit of American ingenuity”, thanks to a strangely familiar creation myth involving a restaurateur (in this case, at Hollywood’s Brown Derby) throwing it together for a late-night snack. It’s also perfect game-day food: satisfying, flavour-packed and, crucially, easy to eat while all eyes are on the pitch.

Wimbledon 2026: Djokovic, Sabalenka, Sinner and Gauff in action on day seven – live

All the latest news from Sunday’s live action at SW19
Swiatek and Rybakina go out | Order of play | Mail Sarah

Patten and Heliovaara are clinging on in this match. They were broken early in the third set by Pavlasek and Rikl but they have fought back to win a break themselves, they are currently 4-3 down but they are next to serve. A great match.

In the singles competition, Karolína Muchová and Barbora Krejčíková are scheduled to start the action on court 2 but that will happen after the men’s doubles match is wrapped up. So Novak Djokovic against Roman Safiullin could actually be the game that begins first on centre court. That match is scheduled for 1.30pm BST.

C programmers commit fresh crimes against readability

The Twenty-Ninth International Obfuscated C Code Contest – or IOCCC for short – is back again with the results of the 2025 competition. This year, one of the entrants has a unique new trick up their sleeve: a valid use case. When we reported on last year's event, it was had just been revived from a four-year hiatus, so we're happy to see it back so soon. As we write, the judging concluded some three weeks ago, but although there is a recording on YouTube, it's very nearly three hours long. It took a while to edit it down to individual clips for each winner, which is why we are covering it now. For many of these programs, you really must see what they do to believe it, and although it's generally not our preferred format, video clips are superb for this. There are no fewer than 23 winning entries this year, including a hat-trick of hat-tricks: three entrants, Yusuke Endoh, Nick Craig-Wood, and Don Yang, all had three winning entries each. We have room for only a few of our personal highlights, but we highly recommend reading all the winners – they are well worth your time. One element of the IOCCC is that the judges, Landon Curt Noll and Leonid A. Broukhis, invent new categories each time for each winning entry. We're using their titles, so if the subheadings initially don't make much sense, reading the relevant IOCCC pages might explain all… but we wouldn't rely on it. IOCCC29 – 2025/cable – Best imaginary emulator We cannot claim to have studied every result in every IOCCC. When the first one happened in 1984, this vulture was still at school and learning BASIC. However, this year, Adrian Cable's Subleq computer was the one that grabbed our attention the most. The reason is that we had already looked at it and what it does – or at least a closely related project. Unusually for the IOCCC, it has a real-life use case in software preservation. The idea of the Eternal Software Initiative (ESI) is to aid in the preservation of software after its original hardware platform no longer exists by implementing a computer architecture that is specifically designed to be emulated very easily. There's a sample implementation on GitHub. The CPU architecture isn't new; it's a One Instruction Set Computer called Subleq. OISC is the logical extrapolation of RISC: you can't reduce an instruction set any further than cutting it down to just one instruction. In this instance, that instruction is Subleq (subtract and branch if less than or equal to zero). Here's an explanation from 2020, and it wasn't new then – here's FPGA hardware from 2011 [PDF]. The ESI has implemented Subleq in software, built a C compiler to target it using LLVM, and ported Linux to it, complete with C and C++ runtime libraries. Run your emulator on that Linux, and you can bootstrap a runnable version of any hardware architecture from this tiny basis. And we do mean tiny. This is the IOCCC winning implementation of the architecture: #include #define o s[1&s[t=e++]?s[t]/4:t]/4,t b,y,t,e,s[38e5?s[memcpy(3[ g],6[s]+s,25

Ook maandag nog geen treinen van Rotterdam naar het zuiden

ROTTERDAM (ANP) - Door "verschillende tegenvallers" bij de herstelwerkzaamheden na een brand kunnen ook maandag nog geen treinen rijden van Rotterdam naar het zuiden, meldt ProRail. "We vinden het ontzettend vervelend dat we de prognose opnieuw moeten bijstellen."

Door de brand in een kabelgoot bij Rotterdam Stadion afgelopen maandag werden ongeveer tweehonderd kabels verwoest. Sindsdien heeft ProRail het hervatten van het treinverkeer al meerdere keren uitgesteld. Nu voorziet de spoorbeheerder dat er tot zeker dinsdagochtend 05.00 uur geen treinen op het traject richting het zuiden rijden.

"Dag en nacht wordt gewerkt aan het herstel van de beschadigde kabels in de kabelgoot, waarbij specialistische laswerkzaamheden worden uitgevoerd. Het grootste deel daarvan is inmiddels afgerond", aldus ProRail. Specialisten zijn inmiddels gestart met het meten en testen van de herstelde kabels en systemen. Daarbij blijkt soms dat een kabel na herstel toch niet goed werkt, wat weer voor extra werk zorgt.

Reizigers kunnen bussen nemen, internationale treinen en goederentreinen worden omgeleid.


Archeologen vinden het gewone leven in Byzantijns Egypte

In de Egyptische Sahara troffen archeologen een stad aan uit de Byzantijnse tijd, de vierde eeuw na Christus. In de huizen en religieuze gebouwen vonden ze ovens, munten en andere details die inzicht geven in het ‘gewone leven’ in die tijd.
