| Saudi cleric condemns inter-Muslim conflict ahead of pilgrimage Posted: 25 Aug 2017 12:22 PM PDT  By Mahmoud Mourad MECCA (Reuters) - The imam of Mecca's Grand Mosque denounced those who "cause conflict among Muslims" in his last Friday sermon before the annual haj pilgrimage, as rifts widen among Gulf neighbors and wars rage across the Middle East. Saudi Arabia, which hosts and supervises the haj, has with other Arab governments imposed sanctions on Qatar and cut all transport links with the country in recent months, accusing it of supporting Iran and backing Islamist terrorism - charges Doha denies. Relations between Shi'ite Muslim-led Iran and predominately Sunni Saudi Arabia are at their worst in years, with each accusing the other of subverting regional security and supporting opposite sides in conflicts in Syria, Iraq and Yemen.

| Ambassador to Sudan becomes eighth Russian diplomat to die suddenly in 10 months Posted: 24 Aug 2017 11:44 AM PDT  Russia's ambassador to Sudan has reportedly died of a heart attack, becoming the eighth Russian diplomat to pass away unexpectedly in the past 10 months. Mirgayas Shirinsky, 62, was found dead on Wednesday at his Khartoum residence. Maria Zakharova, Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman, told journalists on Thursday that the ambassador had been "found with signs of an acute heart attack". "Embassy employees called a doctor, but unfortunately he was unable to save (Mr) Shirinsky," she said. Police told AFP he had "died while he was swimming in his pool at his house" but that an initial investigation had ruled out foul play. Mr Shirinsky is at least the eighth foreign ministry official to die since late last year. Mirgayas Shirinsky died while he was swimming in his pool at his house Credit: EPA The spate of deaths began on the day Donald Trump was elected US president in November, when Sergei Krivov, duty commander of the Russian consulate in New York, was found dead with a head wound at the facility, police said. Initial reports said he had fallen to his death from the roof, but consulate officials said he had a heart attack and hit his head. The New York city medical examiner later contradicted these explanations, saying he died of internal bleeding related to a tumour. Andrei Karlov, ambassador to Turkey, was shot in the back during his speech at an Ankara art gallery in December by a police officer yelling "Don't forget Syria". Vitaly Churkin, ambassador to the United Nations, died at work in Februarythe day before his 65th birthday, reportedly of a heart attack. More than 10,000 people work at the Russian foreign ministry in Moscow and abroad, and five of the men were in their sixties, old by Russian standards. Vitaly Churkin died in February Credit: Seth Wenig/AP Alexander Kadakin, ambassador to India, was 67 when he died in a hospital in January, one year over the average life expectancy for Russian males. But the recent deaths, at least three of which occurred in unclear circumstances, have raised eyebrows, especially since high-profile Russians have been killed abroad before. A UK inquiry found in 2016 that spy-turned-MI6-informant Alexander Litvinenko had been poisoned by two Russians acting on the Kremlin's orders. In addition, some US intelligence and law enforcement officials reportedly now believe Mikhail Lesin, former communications minister and aide to Vladimir Putin, was murdered on the eve of an interview with the department of justice in 2015. A hearse with the body of Russian Ambassador to Turkey Andrei Karlov outside the Russian Foreign Ministry in December Credit: TASS / Barcroft Images Nikolai Platoshkin, docent of the Moscow University for the Humanities and a former foreign ministry employee who knew Mr Shirinsky, denied that the recent series of deaths was suspicious. He said his former colleague's postings in Sudan, Yemen, Saudi Arabia and Rwanda could have affected his health. "Ambassadors' retirement age has increased. In Soviet times it was 60 … now it's 65, so among our ambassadors there are aging people working in stressful conditions and bad climates," Mr Platoshkin said. But two of the foreign ministry employees died violently. Pyotr Polshikov, 56, head advisor of the foreign ministry's Latin American department, was found dead of a gunshot to the head in his flat in Moscow in December. Mr Polshikov's wife was reportedly also in the flat, and police found a pistol and shells. In a terse statement, the foreign ministry said the incident was likely an "accident not connected with the deceased's work activities", but some Russian media speculated it could have been a murder. Another foreign ministry employee killed a woman and her daughter with a hunting rifle before committing suicide in Moscow in May. Russian media later reported he was Alexander Shilin, 43, deputy head of the foreign ministry's department of cooperation with the Asian and Pacific region, and the victims were his wife and five-year-old daughter. Andrei Malanin, 55, head of consular section at the embassy in Greece, was found dead on his bedroom floor on 9 January. Police said the cause was likely illness, but nonetheless opened an inquiry into his death.

| This ancient tablet might rewrite this history of math as we know it Posted: 25 Aug 2017 08:02 AM PDT 
Thankfully, very few of us have to bother with trigonometry on a daily basis, but regardless of how much you may have dreaded studying it (or any math, for that matter) in school, it's still fundamental to our modern understanding of measurements. Hipparchus, a Greek mathematician and astronomer whose work dates to between 160 and 120 BC, is credited as the father of trigonometry, but a nearly 4,000-year-old stone tablet may be about to totally rewrite the history books.
The tablet, which is called Plimpton 322, was recovered in modern day Iraq roughly a hundred years ago. It's a mathematical table that is thought to have been written somewhere around 1800 BC, and it's one of the very earliest examples of Babylonian mathematics. In a new research effort led by a team from the University of New South Wales, the tablet is being hailed as one of the very first examples of trigonometric calculations. The group's research was published in the journal Historia Mathematica. "We trace the origins of trigonometry to the Old Babylonian era, between the 19th and 16th centuries B.C.E," the paper explains. "This is well over a millennium before Hipparchus is said to have fathered the subject with his 'table of chords'." The tablet is undoubtedly an extremely important artifact, but it has a problem: it's not complete. The tablet is only a piece of what is thought to have been a much larger table containing over twice the number of rows and several more columns. From what remains, the researchers have dubbed it one of the most accurate trigonometric tables ever, thanks to its reliance on ratio-based measurements instead of angles, but others aren't convinced. Duncan Melville, a professor of mathematics at St. Lawrence University, told National Geographic that it's hard to determine the tablet is really based on trigonometric at all. "Apart from the column headings, the tablet just consists of columns of numbers, and this invites a great deal of purely mathematical speculation," Melville told National Geographic. "Some of the different interpretations for construction of the tablet are mathematically equivalent and so just having the output on the tablet does not tell you much about the process used to generate that output."

| Japan's Tepco gets slapped with new U.S. lawsuit over Fukushima Posted: 24 Aug 2017 04:35 PM PDT  Tokyo Electric Power Co Holdings said on Thursday it has been hit with another lawsuit filed in a U.S. court seeking $5 billion for compensation over the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster, the second filed against the utility in a U.S. court. The suit filed by 157 individuals is seeking that amount to set up a compensation fund for the costs of medical tests and treatment they say they need after efforts to support the recovery from the world's worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl in 1986. The utility, known as Tepco, is being sued regarding improper design, construction and maintenance, claiming compensation for physical, mental and economic damages, the company said in a statement.

| Scientists have managed to film the adorable super deep-sea snailfish in 4K Posted: 25 Aug 2017 02:52 AM PDT  One Japanese organisation has gone where no one else has before. The Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC) has filmed a snailfish at a depth of 8,178 meters (26,830 ft) in the Mariana Trench — a record depth for capturing a fish in video footage. SEE ALSO: This newly discovered jellyfish looks like something out of 'Avatar' "We've set a world record for filming a fish at an accurately measured depth," JAMSTEC senior research scientist, Kazumasa Oguri, told the Japan Times. The video was taken with 4K cameras mounted on JAMSTEC's deep-sea research vessel. The purplish-looking Mariana snailfish, who is believed to have visited the trench to feed, was caught on camera, likely attracted by the bait that the scientists placed. These deep sea creatures are known to swim in waters deeper than 7,000 metres. The Japanese institution narrowly beat out efforts by a Chinese academy earlier this year. The Chinese Academy of Sciences had in April filmed a fish at a depth of 8,152 meters in the same trench. According to scientists, it is unlikely that any fish can survive in the oceans at a depth beyond 8,200 metres. No fish has ever been discovered beyond this point.

| Machete-wielding man shot dead in Brussels terror attack after attacking soldiers Posted: 25 Aug 2017 04:35 PM PDT  A knife-wielding man was shot dead on Friday after wounding a soldier in Brussels, in what authorities called a "terrorist attack". The man, who prosecutors said yelled 'Allahu akbar' (God is greatest) during the violence, was shot by soldiers on a street in the city centre. "We believe that it is a terrorist attack," said a prosecutors' office spokeswoman, who added the attacker "is dead." The incident comes after attacks claimed by the Islamic State group in Spain last week killed 15 people and a knifeman's stabbing spree in Finland left two dead and eight wounded. One of the two soldiers targeted was "slightly" wounded, according to federal prosecutors, who have opened a terror probe of that attack launched around 8:00 pm (1800 GMT). The mayor of Brussels, Philippe Close, told reporters the incident was the work of a "lone individual". Soldiers have been deployed at railway stations and landmark buildings since the Paris terror attacks in 2015, when a link to Brussels was first established. Freddie Martyn, 25, told the Telegraph: "Just picked up my brother from the train station. We saw two to three ambulances, three army dogs, 10 police officers and the same amount of soldiers. "Apparently a guy with a machete attacked one soldier and apparently it all went very quickly. They thought he had a bomb on him. They fired two shots directly at him and took him out." Birdseye view from my and @tdasilvarosa 's flat - man attacked soldier with machete #attack#brussels at least one man in critical condition pic.twitter.com/jNr4aO2ESF— Freddie Martyn (@FreddieMartyn) August 25, 2017 Mr Martyn was also in Brussels for the bombing in the metro station. "I got to work five minutes before the bombing at Maelbeek station. "I feel a bit scared by all of this but sadly I am getting quite used to it." The Belgian capital has been on high alert since suicide bombers struck Zavantem Airport and the Maalbeek metro station near the EU quarter in March 2016, killing 32 people and injuring hundreds more. The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the attacks, which were carried out by the same Brussels-based cell behind the November 2015 suicide bombings and shootings in Paris which left 130 dead. Belgian authorities heaved a sigh of relief in June when a man who tried to bomb a Brussels train station was shot dead by a soldier. Belgian authorities identified the man in that incident as a 36-year-old Moroccan national with the initials O.Z., while local media named him as Oussama Zariouh. No one was injured in the foiled attack at Brussels Central station but officials said the consequences could have been severe had the bomb, full of nails and gas canisters, detonated properly. The man shouted "Allahu Akbar" (God is Greatest) during the attack and prosecutors said he had sympathies for IS. Police found explosive materials in a raid on the home of the suspect in Molenbeek, a Brussels district which has been linked to recent deadly terror plots in France and Belgium. Belgian soldiers and police have repeatedly been the target of attacks in recent months.

| Donald Trump just retweeted the world's worst eclipse meme, and this can't be real Posted: 24 Aug 2017 07:11 AM PDT  Donald Trump has proven to have absolutely zero restraint or common sense when it comes to his social media posts, but today he took the his Twitter habit to a whole new level. On Thursday morning, the U.S. president retweeted an eclipse meme of himself, as a white president, "eclipsing" Barack Obama, the nation's first black president. It's a retweet so dumb that it may just beat the time he retweeted someone calling him a fascist. SEE ALSO: Unhinged Trump was hard at work on Twitter before you'd even had your morning coffee The meme, posted by a user in response to a Trump tweet about Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan, shows a smiling Trump gradually moving in front of a black and white photograph of Obama.

Image: screengrab/twitterSince this retweet shows Trump doesn't have any understanding of how an eclipse works, furious Twitter users were eager to compare Obama to the bright sun, while also pointing out that the meme is straight-up racist.
