Morgen start de inhoudelijke behandeling van de zaak tegen Mels van B. uit Barendrecht. Het OM verdenkt hem onder meer van het seksueel misbruiken en het filmen en fotograferen van minderjarige meisjes.
Met zijn lengte van twee kilometer is de Nieuwe Binnenweg de langste winkelstraat van Rotterdam. Je kunt er van café naar café lopen. Klinkt gezellig, maar zo sfeervol was het er niet altijd. Jaren geleden vierde drugscriminaliteit er hoogtij en schuifelden er prostituees.
In de provincie Zuid-Holland is code oranje maandagochtend nog tot 07:00 uur van kracht vanwege ijzel en gladheid. De temperatuur loopt daarna rap op en in onze regio kan het overdag 7 of 8 graden geworden.
Voor de komende nacht heeft het KNMI voor alle provincies, waaronder Zuid-holland, code oranje afgegeven vanwege ijzel en gladheid. Volgens Rijmond weerman Ed Aldus is het "vanaf middernacht oppassen geblazen vanwege kans op ijzel".

Bremer Bay is a coastal town in Western Australia. Bremer Bay is well known for its beautiful beaches. I was really impressed by the colours- it seemed, the colours and the light changed every minute.
Een moment van zelfreflectie: afgelopen week werd ik door twee verschillende talkshows gebeld of ik wellicht genegen was om iets te komen vertellen over het weer.

Feyenoord verspeelt in de slotfase de winst in de uitwedstrijd tegen SC Heerenveen: 2-2. Van alle tegendoelpunten die de ploeg van coach Robin van Persie dit seizoen incasseerde, viel bijna de helft in het laatste kwartier.

Na dagen van hevig geweld hebben Koerdische strijders van de Syrische Democratische Strijdkrachten (SDF) dit weekend Aleppo verlaten. De SDF vochten met het Syrische regeringsleger om twee stadswijken in de tweede stad van Syrië. De bewoners blijven bang. „Ik vrees voor massamoorden.”

Remember that re-discovered computer tape with one of the earliest versions of Unix from the early 1970s? This week several local news outlets in Utah reported on the find, with KSL creating a video report with shots of the tape arriving at Silicon Valley's Computer History Museum, the closet where it was found, and even its handwritten label.
The Salt Lake Tribune reports that the closet where it was found also contained "old cords from unknown sources and mountains of papers that had been dumped from a former professor's file cabinet, including old drawings from his kids and saved plane ticket stubs." (Their report also includes a photo of the University of Utah team that found the tape — the University's Flux Research Group).
Professor Robert Ricci believes only 20 copies were ever produced of the version of Unix on that tape:
At the time, in the 1970s, Ricci estimates there would have been maybe two or three of those computers — called a PDP-11, or programmed data processor — in Utah that could have run UNIX V4, including the one at the U. Having that technology is part of why he believes the U. got a copy of the rare software. The other part was the distinguished computing faculty at the school.
The new UNIX operating system would've been announced at conferences in the early 1970s, and a U. professor at the time named Martin Newell frequently attended those because of his own recognized work in the field, Ricci said. In another box, stuffed in under manila envelopes, [researcher Aleks] Maricq found a 1974 letter written to Newell from Ken Thompson at Bell Labs that said as soon as "a new batch comes from the printers, I will send you the system." Ricci and Maricq are unsure if the software was ever used. They reached out to Newell, who is now 72 and retired, as well as some of his former students. None of them recalled actually running it through the PDP-11...
The late Jay Lepreau also worked at the U.'s computing department and created the Flux Research Group that Ricci, Maricq and [engineering research associate Jon] Duerig are now part of. Lepreau overlapped just barely with Newell's tenure. In 1978, Lepreau and a team at the U. worked with a group at the University of California, Berkeley. Together, they built their own clone of the UNIX operating system. They called it BSD, or Berkeley Standard Deviation. Steve Jobs, the former CEO of Apple, worked with BSD, too, and it influenced his work.
Ultimately, it was Lepreau who saved the 9-track tape with the UNIX system on it in his U. office. And he's why the university still has it today. "He seems to have found it and decided it was worth keeping," Ricci said...
The U. will also get the tape back from the museum. Maricq said it will likely be displayed in the university's new engineering building that's set to open in January 2027. That's why, the research associate said, he was cleaning out the storage room to begin with — to try to prepare for the move. He was mostly just excited to see the floor again. "I thought we'd find some old stuff, but I didn't think it'd be anything like this," he said. And Maricq still has boxes to go through, including more believed to be from Lepreau's office.
Local news station KMYU captured the thoughts of some of the University researchers who found the tape:
"When you see the very first beginnings of something, and you go from seed to sapling, that's what we saw here," [engineering research associate Jon] Duerig said. "We see this thing in the moment of flux. We see the signs of all the things changing — of all the things developing that we now see today."
Duerig also gave this comment to local news station KSL. "The coolest thing is that anybody, anywhere in the world can now access this, right? People can go on the internet archive and download the raw tape file and simulate running it," Duerig said. "People have posted browsable directory trees of the whole thing."
One of the museum's directors said the tape's recovery marked a big day for the museum "One of the things that was pretty exciting to us is that just that there is this huge community of people around the world who were excited to jump on the opportunity to look at this piece of history," Ricci said. "And it was really cool that we were able to share that."
Duerig said while there weren't many comments or footnotes from the programmers of that time, they did discovery more unexpected content having to do with Bell Labs on the tape. "There were survey results of them actually asking survey questions of their employees at these operator centers," he said.

WASHINGTON (ANP/RTR) - Het dodental door de jongste protesten in Iran tegen het streng islamitische regime en de slechte economische omstandigheden stijgt snel en is al ruim vijfhonderd. Dat meldt HRANA, een in de Verenigde Staten gevestigde organisatie die zich bezighoudt met de mensenrechten in Iran. Inmiddels zouden na twee weken onrust 490 betogers en 48 veiligheidsfunctionarissen om het leven zijn gekomen. Ook zouden ruim 10.000 mensen zijn gearresteerd.
HRANA baseert zich op informatie van activisten binnen en buiten Iran, waar het internet is geblokkeerd. Volgens Iraanse autoriteiten zijn bij de protesten zeker honderd politieagenten en veiligheidstroepen gedood. Zij melden niets over slachtoffers onder de demonstranten.
Het gaat om de grootste demonstraties sinds 2022. De Amerikaanse president Donald Trump heeft herhaaldelijk gedreigd in te grijpen als er geweld wordt gebruikt tegen demonstranten.
DE BILT (ANP) - Ook in Zuid-Holland kan het in de nacht van zondag op maandag glad worden door ijzel. Het KNMI heeft ook voor die provincie code oranje afgegeven, die vanaf 23.00 uur ingaat. Eerder werd die waarschuwing al afgegeven voor alle andere provincies, behalve Zeeland.
Tijdens de maandagochtendspits geldt code oranje alleen nog in het noordoosten van het land, meldt het KNMI. In de rest van het land wordt het in de loop van de nacht en maandagochtend vrij snel minder glad.
GRONINGEN (ANP) - In de provincies Groningen, Friesland en Drenthe rijden maandagochtend geen bussen van Qbuzz vanwege de verwachte gladheid. In Friesland blijven de bussen in elk geval tot 10.00 uur binnen, in Groningen en Drenthe tot zeker 12.00 uur. Op de Friese Waddeneilanden rijden de bussen wel.
We staan er weer gekleurd (blauw) op. Dit weekend in de Omvolkskrant, door Robert van de Griend, chef schedelmeten alsook bekend van een BLOKSNOR. Kortom wederom Gelul van Crul, de hoogleraar Vooroorlogse Capitulatie die andermaal pleit dat die paar Nederlanders zonder migratie-achtergrond in de Randstad zich maar moeten aanpassen aan de nieuwkomiërs met 15 kinderen en dito luchtjes in de portieken. Benaming voor hoogleraar Crul komt uit dit Vintage TimonTopic uit 2023, en destijds was de omvolkskrant Trouw. En om helemaal on topic te blijven. Waar blijft die Leerstoel Na-oorlogse Remigratie? Wij wensen u een aangenaam etensmaal met spek erin.
Had u nog geen migratie-achtergrond? Zo moet het.

Sticking to the crystal ball room in Teamlab, I'm determined to keep trying this until it works. The shapes in this image couldn't be more clear this time. Or at least it has been written, for I have gazed into the prophecy and I have foreseen the future, a future in which this photo is successful, but I guess it's fickle until proven so let's see what happens.
So I've explained in the past how this was the best room in this building, a perfect field to test the f-stop, for without precision, you won't be able to tell which ball is closer and which ones are in the background. I've had 2 relatively unsuccessful (or unrealized) attempts so far on this site but I'm confident I'll crack it eventually. With the blue color scheme (it kept changing, that's why I have so many different looking shots), it resembles the Department of mysteries from Harry Potter.
The edited version was originally much different. It was originally more saturated and the background was darker and more blurred, while attempting to leave the closer orb undetected. The result wasn't really changing my mind and I felt like it wasn't going anywhere. Eventually I just started over and kept it closer to the original where each shape is more easily identifiable and no drastic changes are made. I swear to you, I will get to other rooms at teamlab at some point. I just wanna see this room win big just once.
