A British man has flown home from Morocco after being jailed for "homosexual acts" - there was a time though when Morocco was a haven for gay writers.
Oil well fires are oil or gas wells that have caught on fire and burn. Oil well fires can be the result of human actions, such as accidents or arson, or natural events, such as lightning. They can exist on a small scale, such as an oil field spill catching fire, or on a huge scale, as in geyser-like jets of flames from ignited high pressure wells. A frequent cause of a well fire is a high-pressure blowout during drilling operations. Extinguishing the fires Oil well fires are more difficult to extinguish than regular fires due to the enormous fuel supply for the fire. In fighting a fire at a wellhead, typically high explosives, such as dynamite, are used to create a shockwave that pushes the burning fuel and local atmospheric oxygen away from a well. (This is a similar principle to blowing out a candle.) The flame is removed and the fuel can continue to spill out without catching fire. After blowing out the fire, the wellhead must be capped to stop the flow of oil. During this time, copious fuel and oxygen are present; any spark or other heat source might ignite a fire worse than the original blowout. Thus...
A blaze consumed the roof and spire of the 13th-century Gothic cathedral in Paris. But "the worst has been avoided."

On 5 January 2011, at 8.30 p.m., I was messing about at home when the phone buzzed on the sofa. It was a text from Jamie Byng, the publisher of Canongate. ‘Are you about?’ it said. ‘I have a somewhat left-field idea. It’s potentially very exciting. But I need to discuss urgently.’ . . .

Čtyřicáté výročí „bakteriologického Černobylu“ připomíná jak památku obětí, tak trvalé riziko zneužití baktérií a virů pro vojenské a teroristické cíle. Zbraně, které by vůbec neměly existovat, zahrnují antrax, černé neštovice, mor, tularémii, brucelózu, ebolu. Sverdlovsk 1979 je trvalým varováním.

The long, complicated, and extremely frustrating history of Medium, 2012–present
In 2003, with what felt like an angel on my shoulder, I wrote a story that became a myth. It was a once-in-a-lifetime piece. An emblem for human courage in the face of adversity, and an inspiration for motorcyclists like me, that swept the world in its small way. It would have been the story […]

Timothy Ray Brown became an icon the day he came out as the previously anonymous “Berlin patient” – the first and still only person in the world to be cured of the virus that causes AIDS. But the path to becoming the personification of hope for the 35 million people worldwide infected with HIV has been more challenging – and more convoluted – than many people realize. Brown will talk about how he came to be cured and why he wants an easier cure for others at a free community event Feb. 26 at 6 p.m. at the downtown Seattle Public Library. He will share the stage with Dr. Gero Hϋtter, the German blood cancer specialist who had the idea of curing both Brown’s leukemia and his HIV infection by finding a stem-cell donor who carried a rare genetic mutation that protects against HIV.
Historik Michal Frankl má na pět let práce nad hlavu. Získal největší evropský vědecký grant na svůj výzkum fenoménu uprchlictví ve 20. století ve střední Evropě. „Obecně se soudí, že se odtud spíš prchalo a odcházelo, ale ve 20. století jsme se vyrovnávali s uprchlíky v několika vlnách.“ Nachází spoustu paralel mezi...
