  • Fatima Nabil read the 12 o’clock news wearing a hijab on Sunday
  • Women had been banned from wearing a veil before the Muslim Brotherhood won election
  • Mubarak regime had insisted on women presenters showing their hair to promote secularism

A female television anchor made the news herself when she appeared on Egyptian television wearing a headscarf, believed to be a first for the country’s state media.

Fatima Nabil read a mid-day news bulletin broadcast on Sunday wearing a cream-coloured hijab.

The Cairo broadcast was made possible after the new Egyptian regime abolished a ban on female presenters covering their hair.

During the government of Hosni Mubarak, women were not allowed to cover their hair on television however this ban was scrapped by the new Muslim Brotherhood regime led by conservative president Mohamed Morsi.

Nabil tweeted: ‘At last, the revolution has reached Maspero [an Egyptian TV building]. This decision is not a grant, but a legal right.’

New horizons: The abolition of the ban may lead to entire broadcasting teams wearing hijab or niqab, like this private satellite one, on state television

So was the ‘Baltic Sea UFO’ an alien saucer or an underwater Nazi base?

By Administrator, Maria Anna | Published 4. September 2012 at 08:29

No – it ‘is just rocks’, claim debunkers

  • Object ‘is raised about 10 to 13ft above seabed and curved at the sides like a mushroom’
  • Theories on origins range from downed UFO, to forgotten World War II base, or meteorite
  • But experts say rock samples point to natural rock formation

Sonar scans have shown that the mysterious object could be a huge Nazi anti-submarine weapon lost beneath the waves since World War II

Since its discovery at the bottom of the Baltic Sea in May 2011, the anomaly has fascinated observers.

The apparently man-made object sits at the bottom of the ocean, looking for all intents and purposes like a drowned Millennium Falcon from the Star Wars movies.

Theories have ranged over its purpose since the Ocean X Team discovered the object on sonar scans.

To some observers, it is a UFO – The ‘Roswell of the Ocean’, while others speculate that it is a Nazi anti-submarine defence, or a plug to the underworld.

But according to one expert, the ‘strange’ and ‘mysterious’ object, as described by the team who found it, is nothing more than glacial rocks that have been dragged across the ocean floor.

Volker Brüchert, an associate professor of geology at Stockholm University, was handed stone samples of the object for analysis.

He said he believed he was seeing nothing more than normal rocks, and told Live Science: ‘It’s good to hear critical voices about this ‘Baltic Sea mystery.

‘What has been generously ignored by the Ocean-X team is that most of the samples they have brought up from the sea bottom are granites and gneisses and sandstones.’

He told Live Science that these are ‘exactly what one would expect to see in a glacial basin, which is what the Baltic Sea is – a region carved out by glacial ice long ago’.

The divers from Ocean X also gave Brüchert a single loose piece of basaltic rock, a type of rock that forms from hardened lava, which he told the website was ‘out of place on the seafloor, but not unusual’.

A wireless medical implant, the pacemaker that can fit on a pinhead

By Administrator, Maria Anna | Published 4. September 2012 at 08:20

 Researchers unveil tiny implants that could revolutionise medicine

A wireless medical implant that could replace pacemakers with a gadget small enough to fit on the head of a pin has been shown off.

A team of engineers at Stanford has demonstrated the feasibility of a super-small, implantable cardiac device that gets its power not from batteries, but from radio waves transmitted from outside the body.

The breakthrough could lead to a plethora of new medical sensors and even ‘smart pill’ that can be swallowed without having to include batteries.
…
According to their revised models, the researchers found that the maximum power transfer through human tissue occurs at about 1.7 billion cycles per second.

‘In this high-frequency range, we can increase power transfer by about ten times over earlier devices.’

The discovery meant that the team could shrink the receive antenna by a factor of ten as well, to a scale that makes wireless implantable devices feasible.

At that the optimal frequency, a millimeter-radius coil is capable of harvesting more than 50 microwatts of power, well in excess of the needs of a recently demonstrated eight-microwatt pacemaker.

China’s strange skies, smartdust, HAARP or…something else?

China’s strange skies as sun halos and UFO-shaped clouds float across the horizon at the weekend

Looking up: A girl takes a picture of a 'Sundog' sun halo hovering in the sky above Lhasa, Tibet

If you were in China last week, you could have been forgiven if you believed the end of days had arrived.

For one moment UFO-shaped clouds were floating across the blue skies – and then days later a halo appeared around the Sun, appearing to give it a halo for a few hours.

Both are simple weather phenomena – but both are also strange and unexpected sights that baffled many onlookers.

The unusual cloud above appeared over Jilin Province, China.

It is known as a lenticular clouds, and their spectacular shapes are popular with UFO believers, who spot the resemblance to flying saucers.

The clouds generally form over mountains – although in rare instances they can be caused by shear winds, and have been spotted over the UK on occasion.

The clouds generally form when stable air flows over the top of a mountain.

The moisture droplets are pushed up a steep slope, condensing into cloud on their way, and forming in a spiral formation over the top.

For people living near mountains, these sightings are a common occurrence.

But when visitors see one – or the cloud forms away from mountains – they are a startling shape.

Straight lines rarely form in nature, so to see such a tightly packed shape is a curious event.

Here comes the sun: a half a million miles long ‘moderate geomagnetic storm’

By Administrator, Maria Anna | Published 4. September 2012 at 07:59

Here comes the sun: Astonishing ‘whip’ half a million miles long spotted on solar surface (and scientists say radiation from it is heading for earth)

  • Radiation from the eruption set to hit earth within hours, creating a ‘moderate geomagnetic storm’
  • Incredible phenomenon could give new insight into how solar eruptions affect electricity supplied on earth
This image of a previous solar filament of the sun's surface shows the scale of eruptions.

Nasa today released stunning video showing a 500,000 mile long ‘solar whip’ on the surface of the sun – and say radiation from it is headed for eath.

Captured by from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), it shows a very long, whip-like solar filament extending over half a million miles in a long arc above the sun’s surface.

The filaments are cooler clouds of solar material that are tethered above the sun’s surface by unstable magnetic forces.

The image and video (below), which covers August 6 to 8, 2012 show the filament as a darker strand that has been in view for several days.

‘Towards the end of the video part of the filament seems to break away, but its basic length and shape seem to have remained mostly intact,’ says Nasa.

The video, which condenses three hours of activity, also reveals the action in dramatic detail in extreme ultraviolet light.

Today it emerged the eruption was so large it will reach earth.

The NOAA spaceweather prediction center estimates that a cloud of radiation from the eruption will reach Earth today.

The radiation cloud will create a minor to moderate geomagnetic storm, bringing the northern lights to parts of North America.

The Dark Knight Rises: was it gun downing or the money? perhaps both!

Aurora massacre fails to dent Dark Knight Rises revenue as blockbuster rakes in more than $1BILLION

Revenue

The Dark Knight Rises has become one of the highest grossing films of all time, breaking box office records despite the horrible tragedy that struck the movie’s opening day weekend on July 20. 

The final installment of director Christopher Nolan’s franchise has now grossed $431.2million domestically and an estimated $574million internationally.

This means the superhero sequel has become the thirteenth film in history to surpass the $1billion mark with its $1,005,000,000 in ticket sales.

The whopping total sales means the hotly-anticipated finale of the Batman films has made more money than the original Dark Knight, which grossed $1.003billion worldwide in 2008, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The surprise upset countered previous estimates that the Aurora shootings would deter moviegoers from venturing to see the action installment.

Hezbollah leader warns that Iran could strike U.S. bases in the Middle East if Israel attacks its nuclear facilities

By Administrator, Maria Anna | Published 4. September 2012 at 06:33
  • Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said that the response to any Israeli strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities would be ‘very great’
  • ‘If Israel targets Iran, America bears responsibility’, the Hezbollah leader said
  • Warning followed claims by Israeli newspaper that American had done deal with Iran to keep U.S. out of a future Israel-Iran war

Drawing the line: On Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the time had come for world powers to declare a ‘clear red line’ for Iran’s nuclear activities

Iran could strike U.S. bases in the Middle East in response to any Israeli strike on its nuclear facilities, the leader of Lebanon’s Iranian-backed militant group Hezbollah said on Monday.

‘A decision has been taken to respond and the response will be very great,’ Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said in an interview with the Beirut-based Al Mayadeen television.

‘The response will not be just inside the Israeli entity – American bases in the whole region could be Iranian targets,’ he said, citing information he said was from Iranian officials. ‘If Israel targets Iran, America bears responsibility.’

But Nasrallah said there were divisions in Israel over attacking Iran’s nuclear facilities, which the West says could be part of a nuclear weapons program – a charge which Tehran denies.

‘Personally I do not expect the Israeli enemy – at least in the coming months or foreseeable future – (to wage) an attack on the Islamic Republic of Iran,’ he said.

Iran has previously claimed to have the capability to carry out these threats against U.S. bases.

On July 4, Iran declared that it could destroy nearby U.S. military bases and strike Israel with minutes of an attack on their country.

General Ami Ali Hajizadeh of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said in July that U.S. bases are in range of Iran’s missiles and could be targeted in retaliatory strikes.

He also said that the Guards had successfully tested anti-ship missiles that could sink U.S. warships in the Gulf. The missile has a range of 300 kilometres, he said.

The hi-tech ‘X-Ray helmet’ that can let fighter pilots see through their plane

By Administrator, Maria Anna | Published 4. September 2012 at 06:28

The rear of the helmet, which is packed with sensors. A large cable is used to connect the helmet directly into the plane's computer systems

For anyone with a fear of flying, it could be their worst nightmare

Yet a new ‘Top Gun’ helmet for fighter pilots can allow them to see through their aircraft – even if they are looking down.

The BAE Systems Striker system, made by the UK firm, interacts with cameras dotted all over the plane.

Sensors in the helmet are able to tell exactly where the pilot is looking.

When matched up with cameras around the plane, the system is able to superimpose a picture from the outside of the plane onto the pilots display – allowing them to see through the plane.

‘If a pilot wears a Striker helmet – which is essentially a helmet with an integrated display – when he sees something on the ground he can just turn his head, put a symbol across on to the point of interest, press a button, and the system will calculate the object’s co-ordinates,’ Alan Jowett of BAE Systems told the BBC.

The technology can even pass the information to a weapon such as an unmanned drone, said Peter Robbie, vice-president of business development at European aerospace and defence firm EADS, which also makes advanced helmet system.

‘The UAV would be an additional weapons carrier, and the pilot could pass targeting information to it,

‘So if he sees a target, by pressing a button it would become the unmanned vehicle’s target.

‘The pilot could authorise it to drop a missile and then monitor through his helmet where it is going to go.’

The Striker helmet can also be fitted with dual night vision goggles, and BAE says it is even developing a 3D audio system to allow pilots to hear information from all around them.

Elite SEALs taken off duty to deal with aftermath of Bin Laden book as whole command is ‘put on the bench’

By Administrator, Maria Anna | Published 4. September 2012 at 06:24

President Barack Obama reads his statement to photographers after making a televised statement on the death of Osama bin Laden      Controversial: The account of the capture of Osama Bin Laden diverges from the Obama administration's original description of the incident

Several Navy SEALs have been pulled off active duty and are ‘on the bench’ to deal with the fallout from the controversial book about the killing of Osama bin Laden.

An expert and former SEAL has claimed that ‘No Easy Day’ has caused such a storm among military leaders they have moved men away from combat posts.

Brandon Webb also said that the entire command of SEAL Team Six, which carried out the raid, has also likely been told to temporarily stand down.

The claims are the most serious consequence yet of the decision by Matt Bissonnette to publish his first hand account of the mission to kill the Al Qaeda leader – as they could have a grave impact on national security.

Were a conflict to break out, having men from such an elite unit sitting around doing nothing could impair the nation’s ability to fight back.

Webb’s analysis appears in an e-book published by his website Sofrep.com, which is for former and serving Special Operations team members and those involved in its culture.

He writes: ‘The sad part is that SEAL teams in general will see a decrease in operational activity and ‘choice’ missions.

‘We are already aware of several operators at SEAL Team Six who have been pulled from regular deployment cycles in order to deal with the aftermath of No Easy Day’.

Speaking to MailOnline, Webb added: ‘These are guys that should be deployed in combat that are now sitting, waiting for the fallout from this book.

Damage control: Obama’s campaign are in full damage control mode, insisting that Americans are better off now than they were four years ago

President Barack Obama begins the Democratic convention in Charlotte, North Carolina on the defensive as his aides struggle to answer the question that Ronald Reagan posed in 1980: ‘Are you better off now than you were four years ago?’

On Sunday, Governor Martin O’Malley of Maryland, a top Obama ally, responded on CBS: ‘No, but that’s not the question of this election. Without a doubt, we are not as well-off as we were before George Bush brought us the Bush job losses.’

David Plouffe, a senior Obama adviser, repeatedly refused to answer, responding on ABC News: ‘I think the American people understand that we got into a terrible economic situation, a recession – the Great Depression is the only one the country has ever seen like it.’

When host George Stephanopoulos told him, ‘You still can’t say yes,’ he dodged: ‘Well, we clearly improved, George, from the depth of the recession. We were losing 800,000 jobs a month. We’re now gaining them.’
