Unmoved by the trappings of success, the new women’s champion is keen to use her enhanced status to help those less fortunate

Most new Wimbledon champions have a bucket list of things they want to do, gifts they would like to buy themselves or family, or even future goals of winning more grand slam titles. But Linda Noskova is not your average first-time major winner.

The 21-year-old Czech is surely the first woman to win Wimbledon with a nose ring – “I was maybe counting a little bit [on] someone having some things to say about it, but no one said anything bad” – but she intends to use her newfound platform for good.

Stalled legislation aims to prevent cover-ups and help families seek justice after major disasters

Keir Starmer is expected to use his final week in office to push the Hillsborough law through its remaining stages in the Commons after months of delays.

This bill aims to strengthen support for families seeking justice after major disasters and create new offences for officials who deliberately mislead the public or seek to block accountability.

For many watching their team beat Norway at a south London nightclub the look was as important as the game

The Carpet Shop nightclub in Peckham, south London, is ordinarily packed with rowdy crowds at the weekend. But Saturday night’s liveliness was not congregated around the DJ on the dancefloor, the crowd was at the sold-out venue for England’s victorious quarter-final game at the 2026 World Cup, and the young spectators were there for the fashion as much as they were for the football.

Luke Grandon and Mattia Guarnera, both 27, are “massive” football fans, and their love for the game is expressed in their outfits. “I have a massive collection of vintage football shirts,” said Guarnera, wearing a white polo shirt with “LOVE” printed on the back from a limited-edition World Cup-themed collaboration between Lyle & Scott and the British artist Reuben Dangoor.

Authorities confirm worst toll in more than 20 years, as extreme temperatures in Europe force early closure of Eiffel Tower

Nearly 100 people, the largest proportion of whom were young men, died by drowning in Germany last month, authorities have said, as extreme temperatures in western Europe that have been blamed for hundreds of excess deaths geared up again.

In Germany’s worst death toll from drowning for more than two decades, 99 people died in June, according to official figures, after temperatures rose as high as 41.7C (107.1F) in some areas.

Data shows the rightwing party faces an obstacle in the form of urban seats – and the effect of preference flows is harder to predict

One Nation’s spectacular rise from a distant 6% of the vote in the last election to first or second in some recent polls has upended Australian politics. It has also made it a lot harder to predict what exactly will happen at the next election.

Traditionally, pollsters and election experts would look at how preferences flowed in previous elections when estimating two-party preferred numbers, or translating polling into seat projections. This was fairly predictable when almost every seat would come down to a contest between Labor and the Coalition.

Pair airlifted to hospital in two-hour rescue operation after Guardia Civil searched area for survivors

A British couple have been found badly burned and semi-conscious in a Spanish ravine amid deadly wildfires that have swept through the country’s Almería province, according to local media reports.

The couple were on holiday in the region and were thought to be out hiking when they were caught up in the wildfire, which has so far killed 13 people and burned more than 6,000 hectares (14,800 acres). At least 23 people are missing.

The food poisoning hit like a tsunami. I remember being out at a dumpling restaurant, grabbing a heap of napkins and just vomiting directly into them. I’ve never been sick like that in my life.

I was travelling in Xi’an, China, with my father, who was then aged 88 or 89. I really should have been in hospital but I didn’t feel I could leave my dear dad on his own. Instead I retreated to my hotel room, where I spent the night projectile vomiting. A horrible, embarrassing experience.

If Steve Borthwick is to emulate Thomas Tuchel he must fully embrace the attacking talent which tore Fiji apart

Next year Steve Borthwick would love to be where Thomas Tuchel is now. A World Cup semi‑final in prospect, an entire nation transfixed and a team with another gear in it. Swap Atlanta for Sydney and Jude Bellingham for Henry Pollock and the same essentials will be required: big-match players, smart man management and the absolute belief that decades of disappointment can be overcome.

Tuchel and his staff even paid a visit to their rugby counterparts in March, albeit in the week the latter lost against Italy in the Six Nations for the first time. Borthwick has long been interested in how England‑based coaches deal with the sheer weight of expectation and has spoken to a number of Premier League managers on the subject.

В новой части «Основ биологии для инженеров» попробуем разобраться, зачем мы вообще изучаем живые системы и в какой момент знание превращается в управление.

Поговорим о том, как человечество десятилетиями собирало карты метаболических путей, почему ИИ не заменяет науку, но резко ускоряет поиск гипотез, и как из миллионов вариантов оставить хотя бы те, которые имеет смысл нести в лабораторию.

Будет немного философии, немного биоинженерии и привычное количество инженерной наглости.

Настоящая статья написана под влиянием двух статей М.Ю. Коренюгина, являющегося управляющим директором компании BMGI, автор-разработчиком методологии ADAPT, мастером черного пояса по Lean – Six Sigma (General Electric): «Тензорное управление: критический взгляд на парадигмы менеджмента. Часть 1», опубликованной в журнале «Методы менеджмента качества», № 5, 2026 г., и «Тензорное управление: критический взгляд на парадигмы менеджмента. Часть 2», опубликованной в журнале «Методы менеджмента качества», № 7, 2026 г. Обе статьи поражают глубиной проработки, логичностью построений и выводов, а также высокопрофессиональными знаниями автором темы, которой они касаются.

Рассмотрим приведенные в статьях логические построения и выводы с точки зрения еще одной проекции, а может быть и самой реальности, существующей в компании, называемой методологией процесса управления в организации. Это, конечно, смелое заявление, но попробуем в настоящей статье с этим разобраться. Все используемые из статей М.Ю. Коренюгина цитаты в тексте будут выделяться курсивом.

Что такое тензор?

Искусственный интеллект определяет его так: это линейный алгебраический объект, который обобщает понятия вектора и матрицы на многомерные данные. Важнейшее свойство тензора, отличающее его от матрицы – независимость от координат: если при повороте системы координат компоненты матрицы меняются, то тензор остается тем же объектом.

Разрабатывая и применяя те или иные парадигмы, методологии, методы, инструменты, метрики и показатели, мы имеем дело не с самой реальностью, а с ее проекциями в плоскости принятия управленческих решений в определенных системах координат. Отождествлять первое и второе – фундаментальная управленческая ошибка, которая для бизнеса нередко оказывается фатальной.

Vital maritime corridor closes after 90 vessels – including shadow fleet oil tankers – are attacked in under a week

Russia has been forced to suspend shipping in the Sea of Azov after 90 vessels were targeted by Ukrainian drones in less than a week.

Ukraine’s drone forces chief, Robert Brovdi, said on Sunday that his units had hit 10 tankers and four ferries overnight, as well as a major oil refinery in the city of Syzran. There had been several strikes on electricity substations in occupied Crimea, he added.

Вся история — от закрытой Mythos Preview и проекта обязательной проверки, который Трамп отклонил, до глобального отключения, закулисных переговоров, возвращения Fable и первых международных последствий.

Fable 5 снова доступна после почти трёх недель глобального отключения. Anthropic договорилась с правительством США, изменила защитные механизмы модели и добилась отмены экспортных ограничений. Но исходное состояние не восстановилось: более мощная Mythos 5 осталась за закрытыми дверями, а законность механизма, позволившего правительству выключить модель по всему миру, суд так и не проверил.

За прошедший месяц появились подробности о причинах запрета, правовом механизме, переговорах Anthropic с Белым домом и условиях возврата. Многочисленные пересказы обычно фокусируются на центральной части истории — джейлбрейк, внезапное отключение и конфликт Anthropic с администрацией. По краям остались два менее заметных эпизода: незадолго до запрета Трамп отклонил обязательную проверку моделей, а после запрета зависимость от американского ИИ стала темой переговоров на уровне G7. Я решил собрать историю целиком.

То есть доступ вернули, но сам административный рубильник никуда не делся.

Trump says US senator was ‘a true American patriot’ while Zelenskyy says he’s ‘deeply saddened’ by his death

• Graham’s death triggers a scramble to replace him – what happens next?

• Lindsey Graham dies after sudden illness aged 71

Washington woke up to the unexpected death of Republican senator Lindsey Graham, 71, who changed the course of modern history with his hawkish Iran platform and key role in establishing the stridently conservative US supreme court.

Donald Trump was one of the first to pay tribute to the controversial South Carolina lawmaker, a close ally despite past differences, in a social media post. “Senator Lindsey Graham, one of the greatest people and Senators I have ever known, is dead!” the president wrote on his Truth Social platform. “He was always working, and was a true American Patriot. Lindsey will be greatly missed!!! DETAILS AND ARRANGEMENTS TO FOLLOW. So sad!”

Trump later told NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday that one of Graham’s legacies as a legislator was helping to confirm US supreme court justice Brett Kavanaugh in 2018.

Timing of Devon switchoff ‘could not be worse’, says board, as members face an estimated £2m in lost revenue

Britain’s biggest community solar project has been forced to shut for the duration of its first summer by the government’s energy system operator to avoid overloading the local grid with renewable energy.

The north Devon solar farm was ordered to shut weeks before record high temperatures across Europe led to power supply warnings, due to concerns that the large amount of rooftop solar in the area could destabilise the power grid by triggering a “thermal overload”.
