‘I can’t imagine crying about the death of any other actor’Laura SnapesLovable … Keaton in Father of the Bride. Photograph: Touchstone/AllstarThe first person I texted about Diane Keaton’s death was my mum. Our love of her films is pretty much the only cultural taste I inherited from her. I was about 10 when she first let me watch a VHS off the grown-up shelf. She picked Baby Boom. I might wonder what the appeal of a film about a high-flying 80s businesswoman inheriting a baby was to a kid – were it not so plainly funny, spanning Keaton’s talents from…
Comfortably outside the top 70, at first glance it would appear both need high finishes from their trip to the Delhi Golf Club to keep alive their seasons. But, in fact, they are already assured of their places in Abu Dhabi and Dubai.This is due to a little publicised but pragmatic loophole whereby members of Europe's Ryder Cup team are also considered eligible for next month's closing tournaments.Fleetwood, who won the PGA Tour's play-offs with his stirring victory at August's Tour Championship in Atlanta, lies 94th in the European tour's season-long table. Lowry, who sank the putt that retained the…
In the latest bid by a Silicon Valley defense firm to assert its own solution for the Army’s mixed-reality ambitions, Anduril Industries on Monday unveiled “EagleEye,” a helmeted computing system that seeks to turn soldiers into AI-augmented warfighters. The launch is notable given that the initiative is led by Anduri’s co-founder Palmer Luckey, who previously started the pioneering VR company, Oculus, which was acquired by Meta. Anduril describes EagleEye as a modular “family of systems” built atop its Lattice software that puts command-and-control tools, sensor feeds, and AI directly into a soldier’s field of vision. The company claims the system…
Stock futures rallied Monday after major indexes tanked to end last week, as President Donald Trump wrote in a Truth Social post over the weekend that "it will all be fine" with China. On Friday, Trump threatened "massive" tariffs on China, causing indexes to reverse early gains that saw the Nasdaq hit a fresh record high and end sharply lower. The tech-heavy Nasdaq tumbled 3.6%, or 820 points, the benchmark S&P 500 sank 2.7%, and the blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 1.9%, or 878 points. All three indexes posted weekly declines of at least 2.4%, and after the stock market closed for the day, Trump…
Is this the start of a new sort of unexpected at The Stoop this season?Eight minutes gone, snappy ball off the top of the line-out, and fly-half Marcus Smith attacks just inside Saracens' 10m line.In seasons past, it might have been a twinkle of the toes from Smith or a pop to a bludgeoning run from inside centres Andre Esterhuizen or Lennox Anyanwu.This time though, Smith punted an old-school up-and-under into the autumnal sun. Max Malins spilled it, Chandler Cunningham-South seized upon the ball and five phases later Smith himself was plunging over.In total, Harlequins kicked 32 times for 923…
The last year has been brutal for businesses globally. Taking examples from my home country, the UK, the cost is over £1B and still rising, as well as the loss of at least one life due to cybercrime. These aren’t isolated incidents - they’re symptoms of a systemic vulnerability in how we build computer systems. According to the Verizon 2025 Data Breach Investigations Report, credential abuse and exploitation of vulnerabilities continue to dominate as attack vectors, accounting for 22% and 20% of breaches respectively. The exploitation of vulnerabilities saw a 34% surge year-over-year, creating what Verizon describes as a “concerning…
