Cambridge, Mass. - An extreme star system is giving new meaning to the phrase "surf's up." The star system intrigued researchers because it is the most dramatic "heartbeat star" on record. Now new models have revealed that titanic waves, generated by tides, are repeatedly breaking on one of the stars in the system-the first time this phenomenon has ever been seen on a star. Heartbeat stars are stars in close pairs that periodically pulse in brightness, like the rhythm of a beating heart on an EKG machine.

Donald Trump's booking photo. (photo: Fulton County Sheriff's Office/WIRED)   Megan Garber / The Atlantic   26 August 23 Donald Trump's booking photo was supposed to be an exercise in humility. He turned it into a threat. The Greek myth of Medusa takes many forms, but the most common is this: Medusa was a woman who, having angered the goddess Athena, was made into a monster. Athena punished Medusa by turning her hair into a writhing tangle of serpents, and then by ensuring that anyone who looked into Medusa's eyes would be turned to stone.

The Mumbai Indians' have knocked out the Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL Eliminator after a brilliant spell from Akash Madhwal and another all-round performance from Cameron Green. Madhwal was named player of the match for returning the ludicrous figures of 5-5 as the Super Giants were bowled out for 101, 81 runs short of Mumbai's total. Green, who plundered his maiden T20 century only days ago, was again in fine touch, hitting a dominant 41 off 23. Green's 41 takes his season's run tally to 422 // Getty The Australian allrounder also proved priceless with the ball, conceding only 15 runs from three overs and affecting a run out with a sharp piece of fielding at backward point.

LONDON Foreign investors piling into Asian fixed income and stocks propelled emerging market portfolio inflows to US$10.4 billion in May, offsetting Chinese bonds suffering a third straight month of outflows, the Institute of International Finance (IIF) found. The fifth consecutive month of positive foreign investor cash flows to emerging markets came despite outflows of US$7.2 billion from Chinese debt and a small US$100 million inflow to the country's equities, the IIF found. Over the past year, foreign investors have taken some US$59 billion out of Chinese debt, though the country's equities have seen US$33.

GENERAL 20/08/2023 04:25 PM KOTA BHARU, Aug 20 (Bernama) -- The National Kenaf and Tobacco Board (LKTN) will only use local kenaf seeds next year, as they are more suitable with the local ecology compared to previous imported seeds. Its director-general Idris Mohd Salleh said currently, 1,500 hectares throughout the country are being planted with kenaf for this purpose. 'The crop is used for two purposes, the production of kenaf stems and seeds for next year's kenaf crop. We no longer import seeds from abroad and we will take the approach of preparing our own products that are more suitable with the local ecology,' he told reporters after launching the board's Merdeka Tour and Jalur Gemilang Flag Flying programme here today.
