More inclement weather forecast in rain-soaked Four Corners region after evacuations and rescues last week
Another round of heavy showers and thunderstorms were expected to hit the south-west US on Sunday after the region endured days of rain that forced evacuations, water rescues and multi-million-dollar damage.
The National Weather Service issued a flood watch for much of the Four Corners – the meeting point of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah – even as local officials forecast further receding of swollen rivers that surged since rains picked up on Wednesday.

The neglect of adults was, David Blunkett said in a recent interview, his biggest regret about education policy under New Labour. Spending on classroom-based adult learning in England has fallen steadily, from a high point of more than £5bn in 2003-04, to less than £2bn last year. We should not expect two decades of decline to be reversed quickly. But the upcoming report from Alan Milburn on young people who are not in education, employment or training is widely expected to result in a boost for colleges, as well as apprenticeship changes so that more are offered to new recruits rather than existing staff.
A timely report from MPs aims to ensure that older learners are included in these reforms. The all-party group for further education recognises the need to tackle the low level of labour market participation among young adults, which is particularly pronounced in smaller towns and cities. But the MPs take a longer view of the current system’s failings. Their report makes a persuasive case that an overall vision for adult education has been missing for a long time.

У акций есть прибыль, у облигаций - купоны, у недвижимости - арендный доход. Всё это позволяет хотя бы приблизительно оценить их фундаментальную стоимость.
А как быть с биткоином?
Он не генерирует денежный поток, не выплачивает дивиденды и не имеет привычных финансовых показателей. Но при этом обладает рыночной стоимостью в сотни миллиардов долларов и привлекает всё больше инвесторов.
Можно ли определить справедливую стоимость биткоина? Сколько разумно за него платить и существует ли вообще понятие «дорого» или «дёшево» применительно к криптовалюте?
Попробуем разобраться, откуда берётся стоимость биткоина, что лежит в основе спроса на него и можно ли оценить, насколько оправдана его текущая рыночная цена.

Почти каждый мессенджер пишет «мы не можем прочитать ваши сообщения», но проверить это обычно нельзя. В мессенджере, который я разрабатываю (Umbera), я пошёл от обратного: опубликовал криптографическое ядро — ту часть кода, которая определяет, что может узнать сервер, — и написал тесты, которые воспроизводят схему и проверяют её свойства одной командой.
Ниже — гибридная постквантовая печать сообщения (X25519 + ML-KEM-1024), почему взлом одного из алгоритмов ничего не даёт, какие метаданные сервер всё-таки видит, как защитить DTLS-SRTP от подмены отпечатков при установке звонка, и как проверить каждое утверждение самому.

Привет, Хабр! Продолжаем развивать DBML Diagram в Boost for Java.
В предыдущем обзоре мы показывали интеграцию с dbdiagram.io, экспорт SQL и проверку отношений между таблицами. В следующем обновлении сосредоточились на работе с самой диаграммой: как ориентироваться в схеме, отделять одну предметную область от другой и перемещать связанные таблицы вместе.
В версии 2.0.0 появилась визуализация TableGroup — цветные рамки с названиями групп. В 2.1.0 мы перешли на свободный SVG-канвас: убрали ограничение перемещения слева и сверху, добавили сетку, перенос групп и более удобную навигацию.
Версия 2.1.0 уже доступна в JetBrains Marketplace. Ниже расскажем, что изменилось, какие ограничения остались и какую обратную связь нам сейчас особенно хотелось бы получить.

• This article contains spoilers for Ali G: Who Iz I?
Joshua Loudermilk, one of two men apparently discredited by the new Ali G movie Ali G: Who Iz I?, has said that he was in on the joke, but that the film-makers didn’t realise this.
Loudermilk, a 54-year-old aspiring actor from North Carolina, has told the Guardian he recognised star Sacha Baron Cohen early in the shoot but continued pretending to be a hard-right Maga sympathiser prepared to defend the US border at all costs.

Todd Blanche, Donald Trump’s attorney general, lashed out during an interview on Sunday while defending the justice department’s pre-emptive lawsuit to block certification of Alaska’s US Senate results if the GOP incumbent loses, calling a TV host’s question “crazy”.
The testy repartee unfolded on CNN’s State of the Union over the DoJ’s unprecedented legal action, which alleges that there could be “voter confusion” due to two candidates named Dan Sullivan on Alaska’s ballot. Trump told reporters, “I’m the one that said do it” when asked about the suit.

England blow victory chance after hosts were 154 for nine
Shadab makes unbeaten 113 in thriller
Shadab Khan whipped the rug from under England’s boots with an eye-popping 113, a blitz of boundary peppering when hope was lost, the one-wicket win guaranteeing Pakistan a place in the tri-series final. England, for the second time in four days, watched a sure thing swirl down the drain.
With Pakistan 154 for nine in their run chase, 88 away from victory, queues were beginning to build at the Gaddafi Stadium exits. But Shadab had other ideas, and with No 11 Haris Rauf providing adhesive company, went on the rampage. Balls disappeared over this boundary and that as England giggled nervously into their hands. The drama doubled when Shadab was given out lbw on 97, slamming his bat into the turf in frustration, hands shaken with England, before an inside edge was discovered on a what-the-heck review.
