Google is adding an "Expert Intelligence" feature to Gemini Notebook (formerly known as NotebookLM) that lets users cite and work directly from more than 100,000 books they own through Google Play Books. Those books can be used as sources for things like quizzes, infographics, and Audio Overviews. Digital Trends reports: For now, Google is offering one free book to users in the US as part of the launch campaign, with a caveat -- "while supplies last." At the moment, Expert Intelligence is only available in the Gemini Notebook app and its web dashboard, but down the road, Google says that it will also appear within the core Gemini app and AI mode in Search.

The broad idea behind expert intelligence is to combine what you can already do with Gemini, and expertise sourced from your favorite books. So, if you're asking Gemini to create a meal plan that is based entirely on chicken and spinach, you can ask the AI assistant to look for relevant recipes in one of Martha Stewart's cookbooks that you own. You can use these books as a source and turn them into Infographics, Audio Overviews, and Quizzes, among other formats. Google has partnered with select authors on Featured Notebooks that provide extra insights and context beyond their books. It's also worth noting that access is still tied to book ownership, so anyone using a shared Gemini notebook must own or purchase the book to fully use the feature.

62nd over: England 266-9 (Atkinson 38, Tongue 14) Scrap that: Atkinson takes a leg-bye off the second ball of this over. As Tongue prepares to face Abbas, the keeper, Mohammad Rizwan, calls for a helmet and goes up to the stumps – so Josh Tongue is now being treated like Joe Root. The ploy could backfire by making Tongue’s nicks harder for the slips to pick up. And it doesn’t seem to bother Tongue, who plays an uppish flick for a single to steal the strike.

61st over: England 264-9 (Atkinson 38, Tongue 13) Ali bowls to Atkinson, who promptly steps away to leg, dreaming of a six over backward point, but connects only with thin air. The over ends in a flurry of singles – one to each batter and then a tight one to Atkinson, who may have decided that he needs to protect Tongue from Abbas.

Make a batch of this vodka- and vermouth-infused tipple to keep fresh in the fridge and sip over the weeks ahead

We came up with this when we were looking to create some fun, bespoke but easy-to-serve cocktails that we could pre-batch for busy services but that still had an edge. Vodka is an especially good base for infusions because it’s so neutral, while martinis are having a real moment right now, so this ended up ticking all our boxes, being something that’s recognisable but fun, and also noticeably our own.

Experts warn the 336-page plan from RFK Jr’s advisers deflects federal dollars into unreliable alternative therapies

Autism groups and researchers have reacted with alarm to a federal research roadmap drawn up by advisers handpicked by the US health secretary, Robert F Kennedy Jr, fearing it will promote unproven fringe therapies at the expense of promising genetic research.

A slew of scientific bodies and groups within the autism community are warning that the 336-page plan risks deflecting federal dollars away from potentially groundbreaking genetic research in favor of unreliable alternative therapies.

The star has long been French cinema’s favourite tousle-haired Adonis, which makes his latest performance – as a schlubby, stay-at-home dad – all the more surprising. ‘I appreciate people laughing at me,’ he says

‘Even though I’ve been working in film for over 20 years, I still have this desire to look beautiful on screen,” says Louis Garrel, on a video call from his bed inside a boat off the coast of Corsica. The French film star is lying on his stomach, occasionally kicking up his bare legs, ruffling his curls and running the nail of his thumb over his moustache. I think the person he sees on the laptop screen in front of him is me, but I am pretty certain he is flirting with his own reflection.

The attraction between the Paris-born 43-year-old and the camera tends to be reciprocal. Long of limb, tousled of hair and chiselled of nose, Garrel has spent a career on screen as French cinema’s favourite Adonis – the man film-makers turn to when they need an erotic wrecking ball to smash up bourgeois twosomes and turn them into quivering menages a trois.

Terrified of being seen as a loser, Donald Trump is nonsensically lashing out – even against our old friend Canada

I’m still grieving Dolly Parton. I never met her and always wanted to. She was almost exactly my age and my height and had values I deeply admired. Her death leaves a hole in the firmament.

Which brings me to the person whose values are as far from Dolly Parton’s as any human could possibly be and still claim to be human. I’m referring, of course, to the current occupant of the Oval Office.

News that Scott is working on a follow-up to his maligned 2017 film leaves me worried the franchise has run out of shocks

If any science-fiction saga looked beyond recovery, it was the Alien franchise. For the 38 years that followed James Cameron’s Aliens, film-makers contrived to find every imaginable way of not making a good Alien film. They tried killing everyone the audience cared about before the opening credits, marooning Sigourney Weaver on a planet populated entirely by bald British character actors, cloning Ripley, pitting xenomorphs against Predators, and sending scientists across the universe to ask an enormous, hairless space bodybuilder why he made them. They even ponied up the thick end of $100m for a film in which Michael Fassbender teaches himself to play the flute.

And then in 2024, we got Fede Álvarez’s Alien: Romulus, in which actual xenomorphs chase actual human beings down actual corridors for the clearly defined purposes of either killing them or putting smaller xenomorphs inside them. Better still, a year later we got Noah Hawley’s Alien: Earth, which reminded us that giant, murderous space insects are in fact less awful than tech trillionaires.

OSLO (ANP) - Met het overlijden van koning Harald is een tijdperk ten einde, maar het markeert ook het begin van een nieuw tijdperk. Dat zei minister-president Jonas Gahr Støre tijdens een toespraak op nationale televisie naar aanleiding van de dood van de vorst. "De koning is dood. Leve de koning." Harald overleed vrijdag op 89-jarige leeftijd, waarna hij direct werd opgevolgd door zijn zoon, Haakon.

"Vandaag begroeten we een nieuwe koning en koningin: koning Haakon VIII en koningin Mette-Marit", zei Støre. "Een grote verantwoordelijkheid wordt doorgegeven. Zij treden in hun nieuwe rollen op een moment dat gedomineerd wordt door rouw. Dat doen ze met ons vertrouwen en onze steun."

In zijn toespraak stond Støre uitgebreid stil bij het leven dat Harald leidde. Hij zal de vorst herinneren "om zijn liefde voor zijn volk, om zijn humor en warmte, en om zijn niet-aflatende geloof in ons. Met dat geloof hielp hij mensen om het beste in zichzelf en in elkaar te zien", aldus de minister-president.

DEN HAAG (ANP) - De drie Nederlanders die worden vermist in Nepal zijn een vrouw van 51 en een man van 29 die afzonderlijk van elkaar op reis zijn, en een Nederlandse vrouw die in Nepal woont. Met alle andere Nederlanders over wie het ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken de afgelopen dagen is gebeld is weer contact, zegt een woordvoerder.

Het ministerie baseert zich op informatie van bezorgde thuisblijvers in Nederland en van de lokale autoriteiten in Nepal. In totaal worden nog 667 buitenlanders vermist, volgens de meest recente cijfers van het Nepalese toerismebureau. Op hun lijst van donderdag staat dat twee Nederlanders worden vermist. De woordvoerder van Buitenlandse Zaken weet niet waarom er een verschil bestaat met de Nederlandse cijfers.

Er zijn inmiddels ook 121 buitenlanders gered, van wie bij drie personen de nationaliteit nog niet is vastgesteld.

Het dodental in Nepal is opgelopen naar 547. In China zijn vijf doden bevestigd. Er wordt uitgegaan van in totaal meer dan 1400 vermisten.

SHENZHEN (ANP/BLOOMBERG) - De winst van de Chinese maker van elektrische auto's BYD is voor het eerst in vijf kwartalen gestegen. De autofabrikant profiteerde van een flinke toename van de verkopen in landen buiten China en meer vraag naar sommige van zijn duurdere modellen.

De nettowinst in het tweede kwartaal steeg met 30 procent in vergelijking met een jaar eerder tot 8,2 miljard yuan, omgerekend ruim 1 miljard euro. De omzet daalde wel met 3 procent tot ruim 194 miljard yuan.

De winst van BYD, dat voluit Build Your Dreams heet, ging in eerdere kwartalen juist nog omlaag, door toenemende concurrentie in thuisland China van rivalen als Xiaomi en Xpeng. Door de moeilijkheden op de Chinese markt keek BYD meer naar uitbreiding in Europa en Zuid-Amerika. De introductie van nieuwe modellen en vernieuwde versies van populaire auto's zorgde daar voor meer verkopen en hogere winstgevendheid.

Het KNMI heeft vrijdagmiddag code geel afgegeven voor alle provincies. Vanuit het zuidwesten trekken onweersbuien over het land, met kans op hagel, zware windstoten en in korte tijd veel regen. Wie nog even vijf minuten neemt voor huis, tuin en auto, kan veel gedoe voorkomen

Niet alleen een nat pak

De zwaarste buien kunnen volgens de waarschuwingen gepaard gaan met windstoten tot ongeveer 75 kilometer per uur, hagel en lokaal 20 tot 40 millimeter regen in korte tijd. Daardoor kunnen takken afbreken, straten blank komen te staan en kan verkeer hinder ondervinden. De buien trekken van zuidwest naar noordoost en verlaten het land naar verwachting in de avond.

1. Zet je auto niet onder een boom

Een garage of carport is bij hagel de veiligste plek voor de auto. Geen overdekte parkeerplek? Kies dan liever een open plek dan een plaats onder grote bomen: harde wind kan takken doen afbreken, met mogelijk flinke schade tot gevolg.

Let vooral op als je auto onder kastanjes, populieren of grote oude bomen staat. Ook een elektrische auto kun je tijdens onweer gewoon buiten laten staan; de auto zelf biedt, wanneer hij gesloten is, bescherming als je onderweg wordt overvallen door onweer. Stap alleen niet uit zolang bliksem en hevige wind vlakbij zijn.

2. Haal losse spullen uit tuin en balkon

Een parasol die open blijft staan, een lichte tuinstoel of een losse plantenbak kan bij een flinke windstoot veranderen in een projectiel. Klap de parasol dicht, zet tuinmeubilair binnen of vast en haal losse spullen van balkon, terras en tuinpad.

Denk ook aan:

• Fietsen die los tegen een schutting of gevel staan.
• Trampolines, die stevig verankerd moeten zijn.
• Afvalbakken en containers.
• Ramen, dakramen, tuinhuisjes en schuurdeuren.
• Huisdieren die nog buiten zijn.

3. Maak afvoer en putje vrij

Bij zware buien is niet de totale hoeveelheid regen altijd het grootste probleem, maar de snelheid waarmee die valt. Controleer daarom snel of bladeren, aarde of afval de afvoer van balkon, terras, dakgoot of straatputje blokkeren.

Water dat niet weg kan, kan een balkon of kelder binnenlopen. Zet kostbare spullen in een lage berging daarom wat hoger en houd, als dat kan, een dweil, trekker of emmer klaar. De verwachting is dat lokaal wateroverlast kan ontstaan.

Snelle check: auto verplaatsen, parasol dicht, balkonafvoer vrijmaken en ramen sluiten. Vier kleine handelingen die bij een stevige onweersbui veel schade kunnen schelen.

4. Laad je telefoon op — en volg de waarschuwing

Zorg dat je telefoon voldoende batterij heeft voordat je op pad gaat. Bij een stevige bui kunnen vertragingen, omleidingen en lokale storingen ontstaan. Houd de actuele weerwaarschuwingen en de reisplanner in de gaten, zeker als je met trein, fiets, scooter of auto reist.

De KNMI-app test daarnaast meldingen die gebruikers op basis van hun locatie kunnen waarschuwen als er binnen vijftien minuten gevaarlijk weer nadert. De app kan dan ook praktische handelingsadviezen geven, zoals naar binnen gaan of ramen sluiten.

5. Vermijd fiets, water en open terrein

Word je buiten overvallen door onweer? Zoek dan zo snel mogelijk een stevig gebouw op. Ga niet schuilen onder een boom, blijf weg van open water en stel een fietstocht, wandeling of buitensport uit totdat de bui is overgetrokken.

Ook voor automobilisten geldt: pas snelheid en afstand aan wanneer regen ineens met bakken uit de lucht komt. Zicht kan snel verdwijnen en water op de weg verhoogt het risico op slippen. De onweersbuien kunnen het verkeer volgens het KNMI hinderen; ook omvallende bomen en afgebroken takken vormen een risico.nhnieuws+1

Wat betekent code geel?

Code geel is een waarschuwing voor weersomstandigheden die lokaal tot gevaarlijke situaties of hinder kunnen leiden. Het betekent niet dat er overal tegelijk zwaar weer uitbreekt, maar wel dat je rekening moet houden met plotselinge stevige buien. Kijk daarom vlak voor vertrek altijd naar de actuele waarschuwing voor jouw provincie.

Meer weten?

• De buien trekken vrijdag van zuidwest naar noordoost over Nederland.
• In de avond neemt de buiigheid naar verwachting af.telegraaf+1
• Door hagel, windstoten en zware regen kunnen wateroverlast, verkeersproblemen en schade door omvallende bomen ontstaan.

Microsoft has dropped Windows 11 26H2 into the Windows Insider Release Preview Channel and released August's preview update. Windows 11 26H2 shares the same servicing branch as Windows 11 24H2 and 25H2, and many of the tweaks and updates that users are looking forward to have already appeared in the monthly Windows updates. The latest, the August Preview Update, includes such modifications as the long-awaited movable taskbar, more Start Menu customization, and the ability to drop web and Microsoft Store suggestions from local results in Windows Search. The update will turn up via an enablement package – a relatively small piece of code that switches on functionality already downloaded, but currently dormant. "Think of it as a switch rather than a full operating system replacement," Microsoft wrote. It's considerably more compact than a multi-gigabyte full download and reinstall of an operating system. Resetting the support clock The shared codebase and shared updates – Windows 11 26H2 will share the same release note KB identifiers as 25H2 and 24H2 – might have some users wondering about the point. One answer is support. For example, support for the Home and Pro editions of Windows 11 24H2 ends on October 13, 2026. Windows 11 26H2 resets this clock, with 24 months of support for Home and Pro versions, and 36 months for Enterprise and Education editions. Enterprises will still need to validate the new release. The servicing branch is the same, and if something works with Windows 11 25H2 and 24H2, it should work with Windows 11 26H2. However, Microsoft still recommends "testing with devices running recent versions of Windows 11 to confirm compatibility with your apps, policies, and infrastructure." Some organizations will have already done this, while others will have waited until the Release Preview milestone was reached. Microsoft took careful aim at its foot when it skipped the Release Preview stage and released the infamous document-destroying Windows 10 October 2018 update. It has been considerably more cautious in the years since. The move to Release Preview was accompanied by the August Preview Update, which included a raft of improvements, but was also greeted with dismay by some users complaining of problems with cursors and black desktop backgrounds following the installation. As far as Microsoft is concerned, it is not currently aware of any issues with the update. ®

Voor tienermeisjes die opgroeiden in het tijdperk van Hyves en webcams werd zichtbaarheid een maatstaf voor succes. Het doet iets met je, schrijft Hannah Boekestijn, als je leert jezelf continu door de ogen van anderen te bekijken.

​Het is weer de tijd van het jaar dat watermassa's een andere naam krijgen. Zo heeft de Nepalese regering een recent gevormd gletsjermeer dat voor dood en verderf zorgt in het land vernoemd naar de Amerikaanse president Donald Trump.

Lake Donald J. Trump stroomt op dit moment over. De golf die als gevolg daarvan door het al eerder getroffen gebied trekt is 'beheersbaar', maar door de aanhoudende regen zal het meer de komende tijd waarschijnlijk voor meer ellende gaan zorgen.

Trump is dusdanig vereerd dat hij extra noodhulp heeft toegezegd.
