It’s just a hook, sewn into a bag, but I really, really like it. Peak Design is so proud of its clever integration that the San Francisco-based maker of camera gear gave it a name: BagLev, for its ability to keep its new City Line of bags levitated above the dirty ground.

How many of us are guilty of coming home and tossing a bag onto the kitchen table or counter to unload it? We pretend it’s not a thing, despite the carryall having come into contact with unknown filth picked up from the floors of subways and dive bars, sidewalks, and parks. BagLev lets you hang your bag off a chair, ledge, tabletop, or counter as you go about your day, keeping it mostly free of urban gunge.]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[Belgorod's acting governor Alexander Shuvaev says the missile strikes damaged a building and car

Six people have been killed and four injured in Ukrainian missile strikes on Russia's Belgorod region overnight, its acting governor has said.

A 14-year-old child was among those injured, Alexander Shuvaev wrote on Telegram on Monday.

The strikes come a night after what Russian officials called the "largest-scale" attack launched by Ukraine this year, in which at least seven people were killed.

Russian attacks on Ukraine also killed at least seven people and injured more than 39 on Saturday night.

Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, and currently controls approximately a fifth of Ukrainian territory.

The latest Ukrainian strikes burned a building and damaged a car in the village of Koloskovo in the Valuysky district, which is close to Russia's border with Ukraine, Shuvaev said.

The injured child was sent to hospital while two others received medical assistance, he added.

Kyiv has stepped up drone strikes deep inside Russia during the past few weeks.

On Saturday night, Ukraine fired some 822 drones towards Russia, with 600 aiming for Moscow, according to its regional governor, who said the Russian capital suffered "one of the most massive drone attacks in recent memory".]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[The collision occurred on the M9 Northbound at Junction 3 at about 03:00 local time on Sunday

Post-mortem examinations are to be carried out later on the bodies of five teenage boys killed when their car being driven the wrong way down a motorway in County Kildare collided head-on with another car.

Three women, two aged in their 30s and one in her 20s, and a child who were in the second car were taken to hospital with serious injuries.

The crash happened between junction 3 and junction 4 of the M9 motorway, at Moone, at about 03:00 local time on Sunday.

The vehicle the teenage boys were in was travelling southbound on the northbound carriageway when it hit the second car.

Gardaí (Irish police) have said no pursuit was taking place before the collision occurred.

They have appealed for witnesses to the crash or anyone driving on that stretch of the motorway at the time to contact them.

Forensic investigators have completed their examination of the scene.

Garda Commissioner Justin Kelly described those injured in the crash as "family members" who were "travelling innocently" when they were struck by the car driving on the wrong side of the motorway.

Garda Commissioner Justin Kelly described the crash as a "horrific incident"]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works.

While union members outside Bethesda's Maryland office celebrated a recent Microsoft visit by positioning a field of red flags representing laid-off workers and a giant inflatable rat on the lawn, inside the building CEO Asha Sharma was apparently having a delightful time watching a playthrough of The Elder Scrolls 6. So that's nice.

"The scale and grandeur are incredible", Sharma said, referring to the game and not the huge blow-up rodent covered in scabs.

Sharma was careful to refer to the game's subtitle with a string of asterisks—eight asterisks to be precise, which sent us down a rabbit hole of trying to guess what eight-letter name it could have.

Coming in with 14% of the votes in our subsequent poll on the subject was Sentinel, which is the name of a prominent city on the Iliac Bay and also the kingdom it's the capital of. Sentinel is a strong contender because the rumored development codename for The Elder Scrolls 6 is Guardian, a synonym for Sentinel, and naming the game for a city would make for a nice throwback to The Elder Scrolls 2: Daggerfall—which was also named after a city and is still beloved by hardcore fans of the series.

It's now an ever stronger contender thanks to an easter egg in Starfield, as unearthed on Reddit. During character creation in Bethesda's sci-fi RPG, your employee number is displayed on the bottom of the screen: 190514-2009140512. Divide those numbers into pairs and you get 19, 05, 14, 20, 09, 14, 05, and 12. The 19th letter of the alphabet is S, the fifth letter is E, the 14th letter is N, and you get the idea. Yep, it spells Sentinel.

This might not be the only hint hidden in Starfield. Eagle-eyed watchers noticed a suspicious scratch on a spaceship console in the trailer, and suggested it was shaped like the Iliac Bay, sometimes called Starfall Bay all the way back in the first Elder Scrolls game, Arena. To find any more easter eggs we'd have to go back and replay Starfield, though. Er, you guys have fun with that.

    <description><![CDATA[Several players from a top team in the Australian Football League (AFL) have been referred to police over an "alleged incident" in Melbourne on Sunday night, their club has said.

Separately, Victoria Police have said detectives are investigating a report of a sexual assault at a hotel in East Melbourne.

The Sydney Swans confirmed an incident involving an unspecified number of players had occurred in the hours after the team's win at Melbourne Cricket Ground.

Chief executive Matthew Pavlich said the club was "still piecing together exactly what's transpired", and would not be drawn on what the specific allegations are.

"Safe to say, we're extremely shocked and disappointed that this has taken place, and that the players have found themselves in this situation," he said at a press conference on Monday.

"There's going to be lots of speculation, but given it's a police matter right now, that is all we can say."

Pavlich declined to say whether any arrests had been made, nor provide any details about how many players were involved.

A police spokesperson said the incident they were investigating occurred at a hotel on Wellington Parade in the early hours of Sunday morning.

"The exact circumstances are yet to be established and the investigation into the incident remains ongoing," they said.

In a statement, the football league said that Sydney "made the AFL aware of the matter which is currently under Victoria Police investigation".]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[Earlier this year, we explained why residents of the PJM area, America’s largest electricity market, have seen their power bills rise by ~20%. We argued that the main culprit was PJM’s auction design choices and how PJM models demand and supply. To better understand the extent of the problem, our Energy Model team spent the last 6 months reverse-engineering PJM’s main system model, the ‘Reserve Requirement Study’, which to date has been a black box. This study is how PJM decides what type of and how many power plants to buy to make sure electricity is reliable, using an annual auction, and spending billions each year.

Armed with a reconstructed model we argue that the problem is worse than we thought. PJM’s model includes errors that we estimate have cost all of its 66 million residents a total of $12B between 2025 and 2027 alone. We share our method in the annex of this newsletter for our subscribers; as well as the results of the model in our PJM Model dashboard. Our live rebuild of the Reserve Requirement Model is a tab available exclusively to our Energy Model clients; which also includes a quarter-by-quarter forecast of the whole US grid tracking >40,000 grid-connected power plants, and every single behind-the-meter datacenter power order.

PJM’s model is structurally anti-growth with a poorly designed capacity market that is globally unique and a governance system that is too big to function.

These failings magnify the negative impact of bad system modeling, which is the focus of this report:

PJM underestimates by ~4 gigawatts the existing power plants it already has; owing to a methodology which doesn’t account for the higher efficiency of power plants in winter and improved power plant resilience since Storm Elliott.

PJM has wasted ~$12 billion of ratepayers’ money from 2025 to 2027 due to this weak methodology, which dramatically overstated the supply/demand shortfall it faced. Household electricity bills would have risen much less if PJM’s model was accurate.

PJM’s emergency auction is putting ratepayers at risk by signing contracts for too much power without committed counter-parties.

Using PJM’s demand and supply curves we calculate that better modeling would have resulted in $6.7B of savings with only 0.014GW (yes, 14MW) less power procured for 2025/26; then $4.9B and 0.8GW for 2026/27. More power meaning less in savings might be counter-intuitive but we have the supply and demand curves to show how these disproportionate impacts occur. PJM has forced itself into operating at the limit, so inaccurately modeling power plants’ capacities has a massive impact on auction costs.

PJM has constrained its own supply of new power by having one-year contracts that start too soon after they are signed, as well as being slow to connect these new plants to the grid. This means fulfilling any demand growth requires paying a big premium for new power plants to be built at unrealistic speeds. PJM also runs the only capacity market in the world that does not distinguish between new and existing power plants. So that premium paid for new power plants is also paid to existing power plants for doing nothing. The same growth in a market that splits new and existing power plant auctions avoids the volume effect of repricing the entire fleet; which means ratepayers are better protected from price spikes.

Despite four record-breaking auctions costing $63B, PJM will be short of the amount of generation it needs to run reliably, and plans to run an “emergency auction” from September 30th to October 21st with results by December 2nd. SemiAnalysis concludes there is an additional 3.8GW of reliable power on PJM’s system by taking into account increased turbine efficiency from cold air, and reduced risk of winter failure after federally mandated asset winterization investments. This is the equivalent of eight large gas power plants which would cost around $10 billion to build today. This 3.8GW would negate 56% of the 6.8GW that PJM pla]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[Floral tributes have been left in Cambridge in memory of Jason Arday

More than 200 people have attended an emotional vigil in Cambridge to remember the life of Jason Arday.

The former Cambridge professor was found dead at an address in Battersea, south London, on Friday afternoon.

Arday, 41, resigned as a professor of sociology of education after allegations of plagiarism and questions about some of his achievements. He had denied the claims, and his family have since said the "campaign of misinformation" was too much for him.

Shahnaaz Khan, a PhD student at the Faculty of Education, said: "Look around you today, talk to someone you don't know and hold their pain with yours."

People gathered in Cambridge to remember Jason Arday

The vigil was organised by Arday's postdoctoral students and was held on Sunday afternoon.

Kahn added: "Hold your friends close and know that we stand strong because we stand together.

"Now, there is a time for anger, of justifiable anger, and that time will come - but today is not that day.

"Today is about celebrating the life of a brilliant man, Professor Jason Arday.]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[A 13-year-old tabby cat that went missing 10 years ago has found her way back home.

Her owners Lucy and Hannah Robertson were "heartbroken" in 2016 when Charlie, then three years old, disappeared.

As an outdoor cat, Charlie would spend her days roaming the streets but one day in April - after recently moving to a new area - she never returned home.

The family spent months looking, never finding any leads.

But last month, the "impossible" happened on Lucy's 30th birthday - they received a call from the vet saying Charlie had been found.

Hannah, 37, said she moved from Newbridge to Abercarn, in Caerphilly county, a few miles away, 10 years ago.

Within three days, Charlie, whom she described as a "bit fiery", had vanished.

"We did have one or two tip-offs... we tried to find her, but we kept missing her," Hannah said.

"We never lost hope. But sadly, we just couldn't find her," she told BBC Radio Wales Breakfast.

Lucy said that, despite having asked around, as well as posting on Facebook, there was no sign of Charlie.]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[Steffen Peddie prior to taking the drugs (left) and about 12 months later and 8st lighter (right)

I have always been a big lad. From being a child I was what you would call "well nourished".

When I started edging towards showbiz in my twenties - getting into wrestling, acting and comedy - my size became part of my act. But, as I've got older, my weight has become anything but a laughing matter.

At 53, tipping the scales at more than 35st (222kg), I started having health complications. It became apparent my family were worried about me.

But, at my size, exercise was difficult. I'd reached "circus attraction" level and had to make a choice.

I know people who have taken weight-loss injections and had good results. That said, they're not cheap, they can have side effects - some serious - and they may not mix well with some medications.

Also, although there is little official data on this, some experts are worried men using them are not talking about it, either with their GP or publicly.

After losing more than 8st myself, I wanted to find out why that is.

    <description><![CDATA[The newest point release for Linux is here a few months after the last one, and the time in-between was not spent idly. Scheduler work that took over a year finally came together, several pieces of hardware got proper support, and a series of 2023 MacBooks can finally boot Linux.

During all this, Linus Torvalds' transition from treating AI as noise for years to slowly warming up to it has been something of a wildcard entry.

Anyhow, let's see what this point release has to offer.

AMD's platform driver changes lean heavily on Zen 6 prep. The Hardware Feedback Interface (HFI) driver adds v3 ranking table support for dynamic core rankings, and the power management controller driver adds support for Family 1Ah Model 80H SoCs (a Zen 6-focused change, basically).

What Ubuntu's OEM kernel had been carrying out of tree is now in. The long-awaited AMD ISP4 driver completes webcam support for the HP ZBook Ultra G1a and other upcoming Ryzen laptops.

Similarly, AMDGPU has gained initial HDMI 2.1 Fixed Rate Link support (FRL), years after the HDMI Forum blocked the feature from the open source driver.

For Intel, most of this round's EDAC work targets next-gen Xeon Diamond Rapids chips, adding sub-memory channel awareness and Rank Retry Logic to preserve data integrity during memory errors. Nova Lake H and Panther Lake H gain in-band ECC error reporting through the IGEN6 driver.

Linux 7.2 also continues clearing out old i486 chunks that started disappearing in 7.1 and makes TSC and CX8 support unconditional on x86. TDX modules can now update at runtime, similar to CPU microcode, so security fixes no longer force a full reboot on TDX-enabled systems.

Another highlight of this kernel release has been Cache Aware Scheduling, which was merged after more than a year of work, landing behind the CONFIG_SCHED_CACHE option.

Without cache awareness, the scheduler can end up scattering related tasks across zones on chips with multiple last-level caches (LLCs). This feature groups those tasks onto cores within the same LLC instead.]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[Glasgow has seen protests by far-right organisations whose members cover their faces

Videos of brutal beatings, blatant drug deals, and racial violence in the centre of Scotland's biggest city have become a common sight on social media.

Posts claim that parts of Glasgow's city centre are a "no-go zone" where it's not safe for unsuspecting members of the public, especially women, to enter.

Angry protests have spilled on to the streets - but is it as bad as some say?

For a week in June, BBC Disclosure filmed in the city centre to see for ourselves.

We captured people openly dealing and taking drugs, as well as thefts, arrests, and even a brawl involving young men throwing traffic cones at a man with a dog.

A taxi driver who regularly drives into the area told us so many people were off their head on drugs and that it was sometimes like the "zombie apocalypse".

And a convenience store manager said he was racially abused at least 20 times a day and his shop was under constant attack from drug addicts.

This all played out just a stone's throw away from the famous Central Station, where many tourists are first welcomed to Glasgow.

Disclosure investigates claims that parts of Scotland’s biggest city have become a no-go zone because of crime, homelessness and antisocial behaviour.]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[Katy said the lack of financial support means she has turned to food banks

Parents have told BBC Panorama that the agency tasked with helping to secure financial support for children after separation or divorce is driving them to breaking point.

Mothers described battling with the Child Maintenance Service (CMS) to get their ex-partners to pay up, while fathers said they have been caused anxiety and stress by administrative mistakes.

One mother said she turned to food banks after the CMS failed to make her ex-partner pay child maintenance, leaving arrears of almost £10,000. Another said she had been forced to skip meals after her abusive ex-partner stopped paying.

We have also spoken to a father who said years of disagreements with the CMS have pushed him to the brink, including after it added an extra child to his account who was not his.

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), which runs the CMS, said "in the vast majority of cases" it successfully arranges "vital payments for children". It said it takes "very seriously the small number of cases where things go wrong".

BBC Panorama meets parents who receive maintenance and those who pay it, and asks whether the system is failing both them and their children.

Watch on iPlayer now or on Monday 17 August at 20:00 on BBC One.

About four million children in England, Scotland and Wales have parents who are separated.

    <description><![CDATA[Matt Arnold says he was falsely flagged as a shoplifter by AI-powered cameras

Sainsbury's has suspended its use of live facial recognition technology at one of its London branches after a customer was wrongly challenged as a shoplifter and asked to leave.

Matt Arnold, 46, was buying items at the East Dulwich store when he was stopped by management at a self-service till.

Describing the experience as a "terrifying glimpse of the future," he has warned that retail surveillance tech risks humiliating customers and creating a system where staff feel compelled to follow automated alerts without applying human logic.

The supermarket said it had apologised to Arnold and claimed the mistake was "caused by human error", but critics have called for the technology to be scrapped.

The incident happened on 6 August as Arnold - a comedy promoter getting supplies for a stand-up event hosted at the next door Dulwich Hamlet Football Club - was waiting for a staff member to approve an alcohol purchase.

Having already scanned his items alongside his Nectar loyalty card, he said he had waved an attendant over.

Instead, he said he was approached by two of the management staff and told he could not be served due to an incident "earlier in the week".

"They came over and said I had to leave. The staff member said I'd been identified by the AI, and the cameras had flagged me," he told BBC London.

"A shoplifter does not walk around with that much shopping, they don't scan it through, they don't put their Nectar card through.]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[A new Ebola treatment centre was inaugurated in Rwakole, Bunia, DR Congo on 4 August

The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo is now the deadliest in its history, according to public health officials.

A total of 2,325 people have been killed by the virus since it was declared on 15 May, surpassing the death toll of the country's 2018-2020 outbreak.

The outbreak was already the fastest growing on record, UN humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher said last week, warning that "the epidemic is killing someone every 30 minutes".

There is currently no approved vaccine available for the Bundibugyo species that has caused the current epidemic but several are in development, including one based on technology used to develop the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine.

DR Congo's Institute of Public Health on Sunday said it had recorded 4,945 confirmed cases, including 101 in the previous 24 hours.

Comparatively few cases have been identified outside the country: as of 12 August, 20 cases were confirmed in neighbouring Uganda, while two people were treated in Germany and one case was declared in France.

However, the pace of the virus's transmission in Dr Congo, where it has spread to six of 26 provinces, has been described as "exceptional" by the World Health Organization.

According to Reuters, it took close to five months for the world's deadliest outbreak of 2014-2016 in West Africa to reach 1,000 fatalities - the current outbreak reached 2,000 deaths in less than three months.

The outbreak is the 17th to have emerged in DR Congo since Ebola was discovered 50 years ago. Years of conflict and a highly mobile population have added to the country's challenges in controlling the spread of the disease.]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[Torrential rains have pummelled South Korea's Gyeongsang province, triggering a landslide that killed one person and wounded two others.

The landslide buried the first floor of an apartment building in the south-eastern city of Geoje on Monday morning. Rescuers pulled out three people, one of whom was later declared dead, local media report.

This comes as record rainfall triggered by back-to-back storms caused widespread flooding and landslides in parts of China, Japan and the Philippines.

Geoje city saw 124.5mm of rain in a one-hour period, the highest since South Korea's meteorological agency started keeping records for the city in 1972.

Between Sunday and Monday, Geoje received more than 400mm of rain overnight.

Videos on social media show cars submerged in Geoje as strong currents swept the streets.

City authorities announced that some tourist attractions will be closed on Monday due to the heavy rain.

Bus operations and household waste collection have also been suspended due to flooded or damaged roads, authorities said.

On Sunday, authorities urged residents to avoid driving, stay away from places like riverbanks and evacuate to safe areas if needed.

    <description><![CDATA[Hayden Panettiere, the actor known for roles across TV, movies, and video games like Until Dawn and the Kingdom Hearts series, has died at the age of 36.

Details surrounding her death have not been made public, but her father, Skip Panettiere released a statement to ABC News confirming her passing.

“It is with profound sadness that we share the tragic passing of our beloved Hayden,” the statement reads. “She was an incredible light and a force of nature who brought immeasurable love and joy to all who knew her — and to the millions who watched her onscreen.”

Panettiere had a pretty lengthy filmography, having started acting as a child star and working on several Disney projects like A Bug’s Life and. Dinosaur. As an adult, she was known especially for her work in television on shows like Heroes and Nashville. She was also part of the Scream franchise for over a decade, playing Kirby Reed in three films after 2011. Games fans will know her best as the original voice of Kairi in the first two Kingdom Hearts games, though the role was later taken up by Alyson Stoner after Panettiere moved on from the series. She also had a starring role in Until Dawn, providing both the voice and motion capture for Sam in the horror game.

In recent months, Panettiere had been promoting her memoir titled This Is Me: A Reckoning.

    <description><![CDATA[Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer.

Explanation: This total solar eclipse appeared not only poetically beautiful but scientifically interesting. Usually the solar corona appears white, and to some observers the corona of last week's total solar eclipse did appear this pearly color. But this time, totality observers in Spain saw a corona that appeared unusually golden. For one reason, from Spain, the totality occurred when the setting Sun was near the horizon. That low, sunlight travels through a large amount of air which scatters out blue light. An unusual amount of smoke in the air from nearby forest fires acted as a second filter, further scattering the remaining blue tones and deepening the already gold-dominated light. The HDR-processed, multiple-exposure featured image was captured from Benavente, Spain last week. One thing that did not appear golden was a hydrogen-glowing prominence that hovered over the Sun's left edge -- its original bright pink color survived.Gallery: Solar Eclipse of 2026 August 12Tomorrow's picture: fast meteors
