Media scrutiny of party leader’s finances has undermined his claim to be a politician in tune with typical voters
With his personal funding once again under media scrutiny, Nigel Farage, the leader of the rightwing Reform UK party, is adamant he is the victim of an “establishment plot” trying to stop him from reaching Downing Street.
This time, Farage is facing questions about support for his lifestyle from the convicted criminal George Cottrell, just months after it was revealed by the Guardian that he also took £5m from the cryptocurrency billionaire Christopher Harborne as a personal gift.
In the weeks leading up to the two-day event, the Turkish authorities blocked websites, jailed scores of people over allegations of terrorism and arrested a prominent comedian.
Hot on heels of creating Taylor Swift’s wedding dress, designer brings his re-energising razzmatazz to Paris catwalk
The one person in the fashion industry who doesn’t want to talk about Taylor Swift’s as-yet-unrevealed wedding dress is the man who actually knows what it looks like. “It was a big honour,” was all that Dior’s Jonathan Anderson would say about dressing America’s de facto royal wedding. “But no, I can’t tell you anything about it. It will all come out in due course. It was a joy to work with her and we became very good friends. It is an emotional thing, doing someone’s wedding.”
Instead, Anderson wanted to talk about a very different American artist, sculptor Lynda Benglis, whose sensual slumped hunks of smelted metal inspired his haute couture collection. A wooden pavilion built for the show in the gardens of the Rodin Museum was soundtracked with the flutter of paper fans along the front row, and the haughty silhouettes of couture seemed liquefied in the city heat. A skirt of silver-foiled petals lapped and shimmered like molten lava. A tailored Bar jacket trailed threads of chiffon at the hem like drips of ice-cream down a cone.

Arrival of endangered cats, including rare white cub, revitalises team straining under fuel and medicine shortages
For the Cuban zookeeper Ángel Cordero, the sight of four Bengal tiger cubs playing in a cage at the Cuban national zoo is a small miracle on an island stifled by shortages of fuel, medicine and days-long power outages.

Common misconceptions are that you don’t have the right skills, or you need to make a huge time commitment
Many people want to do good in the world. They want to connect and give back to their communities. But volunteering, much like Sunday meal prep or morning meditations, often ends up at the bottom of the to-do list – a nice idea we’ll get to when we have more time.
“For many people, volunteering is something they feel positively about, but don’t always prioritize or think they have time for,” says Matt Bertram, vice-president of volunteer services for the American Red Cross.

Всем привет! Меня зовут Катерина Цаплина, я AI Architect и программный эксперт курса «MLOps для разработки и мониторинга моделей». Работаю на стыке ML, инфраструктуры и корпоративной архитектуры в крупной промышленной компании и на практике вижу, насколько непросто выстраивать такие процессы в реальной организации.
Это третья статья цикла о том, как компании реализуют MLOps. В предыдущих частях мы разобрали три архитектурных подхода и рассмотрели Uber Michelangelo — одну из самых известных внутренних ML-платформ. После знакомства с такой системой может возникнуть логичный вопрос: а обязательно ли строить собственную платформу?
На практике далеко не всегда. Для многих организаций более рациональным выбором становятся workflow-фреймворки для организации ML-разработки или managed-платформы облачных провайдеров. В этой статье разберём первый подход на примере Netflix Metaflow, а managed-платформы рассмотрим в следующей части.
Jennifer Garner in The Five-Star Weekend —Adam Rose—Peacock
“Maybe there could be five of us—a weekend of five-star treatment?” Too silly for any real person to say, this kind of sentence is practically compulsory in a certain aspirational strain of women’s entertainment. In the case of Peacock’s latest confection, our suspension of disbelief is justified by the fact that the show, premiering June 9, is a smartly executed adaptation of beach-read queen Elin Hilderbrand’s 2023 hit The Five-Star Weekend and that the shamelessly expository line issues from the irony-immune mouth of a perfectionist baking influencer played by Jennifer Garner. Creator Bekah Brunstetter (Sirens, Maid) has gift-wrapped a treat for our summer delectation, to be binged with glasses of ice-diluted white wine in hand.
Six months after her husband, Matthew (Josh Hamilton), died in a car accident, Hollis Shaw (Garner) breaks down during a daytime talk show and decides to decompress by assembling a fivesome of friends from different eras of her life for a girls’ weekend at the sprawling Nantucket estate she just happens to own. She’s also the type of benign control freak who distributes illustrated itineraries long before her guests board the ferry. Not that everything ends up going to plan.

Casting choices are crucial for a show like this, whose emotional beats have to ring true even as its surface gleams with fantastical luxury, and all of Weekend’s stars are as suited to their characters as Garner. As Hollis’s Type A college bestie and sardonic childhood soul mate, respectively, Regina Hall and Chloë Sevigny make prickly women lovable. D’Arcy Carden stands out in the delicate role of Brooke, adapting her sharp comic instincts to embody a nervously chatty, repressed “mom friend.” (Hollis’s college-aged daughter, played by Harlow Jane, is also on hand to act out her grief and judge her mother’s performance of normality.) Gemma Chan’s chic Gigi, a sympathetic follower of Hollis’s, is a bit of a mystery. The other guests don’t trust her for a second.
But, of course, everyone has a secret that’s bound to come out. Along with the reappearance of Hollis’s high school boyfriend (Timothy Olyphant) and a delicious turn by Judy Greer as a mean-girl acquaintance of Brooke and Hollis’s with a knack for popping up at the worst possible moment, these bombshells propel episodes tight enough, at around 40 minutes, to leave us wanting more. It’s weirdly rare, these days, to see a drama aimed at women that isn’t predominantly about murder or romance. When it comes to comfort viewing, though, familiar faces, low stakes, and an escapist setting—or, as Sevigny’s character sums up the weekend: “Dead moms. Cheating husbands. Soft cheese”—are hard to beat. Bring on the brie!
