Women have taken to social media to criticize State Duma lawmaker Nina Ostanina's claim that a domestic violence law would discourage men from marrying.

Ga op een scootmobiel zitten en je bent onzichtbaar, merkt Eke Krijnen na een ongeluk – excuseer haar eerdere onwetendheid. Maar ze is dolblij met de Luna Victory E Pride. ”We hebben allemaal een lichaam, dat het vroeg of laat kan, nee, zál laten afweten.”

Trio Mary In The Junkyard vertrouwt op de kracht van intimiteit, Azzolini speelt Vivaldi weer als het natuurwonder van de fagot en Jack White weet weer waarom hij op aarde is: om te vlammen, knarsen en knetteren.

Het aantal Amerikanen dat zich in Nederland vestigt neemt snel toe – met dank aan een 70 jaar oud handelsverdrag. Drie Amerikanen vertellen waarom zij hun thuisland verlieten. ”Toen we op Schiphol landden, voelde het alsof we net op tijd waren ontsnapt.”

Film fanatics arrive from US, Switzerland and Ireland for midnight premiere of director’s critically acclaimed epic

Odysseus made his name by embarking on a perilous journey from Troy to Ithaca, plus a few unplanned diversions courtesy of the gods. But this is nothing on Christian Campbell, who last night travelled more than 4,000 miles to see the Greek king’s epic fable on the big screen.

The 22-year-old film graduate, who aspires to be an editor, made the journey from Atlanta to London to watch Christopher Nolan’s take on Homer’s epic poem, The Odyssey.

• Captain says promotion would bring ‘the most happiness’

• He visited largest shareholder Daniel Kretinsky in Prague

Jarrod Bowen has said he intends to remain with West Ham after the club’s relegation to the Championship. The forward has attracted interest from Premier League teams but has spelled out his desire to stay after a summer during which he travelled to Prague for talks with the largest shareholder, Daniel Kretinsky.

“I feel like we’re moving in the right direction as a club,” Bowen told West Ham’s media channels. “There’s a lot of thinking time over the summer and a lot of things that go in your head. But I look in years and years to come of when I retire, what’s going to bring me the most happiness. For me now that’s getting this club back into the Premier League.”

Town Hall theatre, Galway
A beautifully knit ensemble bring infectious, giddy fun to Dion Boucicault’s 1874 caper, finding a delicious balance between whimsy and sincerity

Dion Boucicault’s comic melodrama from 1874 holds a place in theatre history for its playful upending of national stereotypes and expectations. Finding a delicious balance between whimsy and sincerity, Garry Hynes’s inventive production for Druid theatre company celebrates Boucicault’s gifts as a playwright and master of stage spectacle, whose creations dazzled 19th-century audiences in New York and London.

This staging takes a miniaturist approach, with Sligo landscapes, cliff tops and gothic towers depicted as picture-book illustrations glimpsed from a distance. Ladders and furniture descend and glide, with assistance from the nimble cast of 10, most dextrously by Conn “the Shaughraun” (Aaron Monaghan), poacher and trickster. Here, Conn also acts as master of ceremonies cum stage manager, as if standing in for Boucicault himself.

Op de Zwarte Cross is gisteravond bij een stunt met een grote katapult over de hoofdtent een stuntman gewond geraakt. Na een bezoek aan het ziekenhuis en het oplopen van een hersenschudding kon hij de rest van het weekend niet afmaken, maar gelukkig heeft de organisatie een vervanger opgeroepen: Orgel Joke.

“Joke is al jaren onze vliegende invaller voor als shows op het laatste moment niet door kunnen gaan, dus kwamen we ook nu direct bij haar uit”, zegt een woordvoerder van het festival. “Joke ligt goed bij de fans en is net hersteld van haar val op het balkon. Helemaal klaar dus om de tent eens op een andere manier op zijn kop te zetten.”

Mocht alles goed gaan zal ze na afloop van de sprong ook nog een paar nummertjes spelen.

SpaceX's 13th Starship flight test ended at the launchpad after four Raptor engines failed to start, triggering an automatic abort moments before liftoff. Elon Musk's biz ignited the booster's engines at 2245 UTC on July 16, but the automated system aborted the launch. The boss confirmed: "Some of the engines didn't start, triggering an automatic launch abort… To be confident of a good flight, two Raptors will be removed and replaced. Most probable launch timing is early next week." The nature of the problem is not clear, nor is whether the vehicle will need to be de-stacked for engine replacement. Although the abort showcased the booster's anomaly-detection capabilities, it is not a great look for a rocket that must launch multiple times in quick succession to meet the requirements of the Artemis IV Moon landing planned for 2028. Flight Test 13 marks the second test of Starship's V3 configuration. The vehicle hasn't reached orbit, but a successful test - one that demonstrates engine reignition in space - would likely let SpaceX move beyond suborbital flights. That shift is urgent as Artemis III is scheduled to launch next year, and Starship must be qualified for orbital operations by then. The abort won't have done SpaceX stock any favors. Investors had already brought it back to Earth after an early surge made Musk a trillionaire (on paper). By the close of trading, shares had slid to just over $131, below the $135 initial public offering price that valued the loss-making biz at roughly $1.78 trillion. NASA is paying close attention. The agency confirmed yesterday it will use SpaceX's Starlink to deliver Artemis III imagery from Orion. It'd be a shame if that imagery didn't include a rendezvous with Starship because SpaceX is unable to get the behemoth off the ground, let alone into orbit. Despite Musk's suggestions of "early next week," SpaceX has yet to officially confirm a date for the next Starship launch attempt. ®

Really interesting piece of cryptographic history:

In November 2023, a large cache of his wartime papers—nicknamed the “Bayley papers”—was auctioned in London for almost half a million U.S. dollars. The previously unknown cache contains many sheets in Turing’s own handwriting, telling of his top-secret “Delilah” engineering project from 1943 to 1945. Delilah was Turing’s portable voice-encryption system, named after the biblical deceiver of men. There is also material written by Bayley, often in the form of notes he took while Turing was speaking. It is thanks to Bayley that the papers survived: He kept them until he died in 2020, 66 years after Turing passed away...

"De brommobiel stond aan de stekker om op te laden. Ineens explodeerde de accu en vloog het wagentje in brand." De bewoners van een huis aan de Reigerhof in Rozenburg schrokken zich donderdagmiddag rot toen hun 45 kilometerwagentje vlam vatte.
