Syrie: l'avant-dernière enclave dans la Ghouta "vidée" des rebelles


READ MORE

Les derniers bus transportant des rebelles et leurs proches évacuant la poche sud de la Ghouta orientale, aux portes de Damas, ont quitté samedi cette enclave, désormais “vidée” de ses combattants insurgés, a annoncé l’agence de presse officielle syrienne Sana.


Des négociations entre les rebelles et la Russie, alliée du régime syrien, sont en cours pour trancher le sort de l’ultime poche insurgée dans la Ghouta orientale, autour de la grande ville de Douma, tenue par le groupe Jaich al-Islam. La reprise totale de la Ghouta marquerait une victoire retentissante pour le régime dans la guerre qui ravage la Syrie depuis 2011.

Canadian expected to be aboard Russia's 1st manned space mission since rocket failure

READ MORE The first manned mission to the International Space Station since a Russian rocket failed to launch successfully earlier this month may take off on Dec. 3, space agency Roscosmos said on Wednesday. And the crew is expected to include Canadian astronaut David Saint-Jacques, Agence France-Press reported. A Russian cosmonaut and U.S. astronaut were forced to abort their mission on Oct. 11 and perform an emergency landing after a launch accident that Roscomos said was caused by a faulty sensor. The accident was the first serious launch problem experienced by a manned Soyuz space mission since 1983, when a crew narrowly escaped before a launch pad explosion. Sergei Krikalyov, a senior Roscosmos official, was quoted by state news agency Tass as saying the next manned launch had been planned for mid-December, but that Russia was trying to bring the date forward so that the ISS is not briefly left without a crew. “The industry is making significant efforts to move the launch t...

READ MORE About 400 jobs are expected to disappear at Suncor Energy Inc.’s oilsands mines in northern Alberta as it deploys driverless ore-hauling trucks to replace the ones humans operate now. “We have about 500 roles that will get eliminated through this and we’re going to add about 100. So the net change in our workforce is about 400 positions,” chief operating officer Mark Little said in an interview Wednesday. Suncor to begin using autonomous vehicles over the next 6 years Alberta well-positioned to deal with job losses from automation: study The company has been testing the 400-tonne capacity Komatsu trucks for about four years and has nine now. It announced Tuesday it will gradually build a fleet of more than 150 driverless trucks over the next six years , starting with the North Steepbank mine at its Base Camp north of Fort McMurray.

This ancient frog could have preyed on dinosaurs

READ MORE A large frog that lived 68 million years ago was capable of eating small dinosaurs and had a bite as powerful as a wolf or female tiger, researchers have found. Scientists studying the bite force of a similar genus that lives today — the horned frog of South America — collaborated with a team of paleontologists to determine that the ancient Beelzebufo frog could have preyed on early crocodilians and small non-avian dinosaurs. Their findings have been reported in a new study published in the journal Scientific Reports . To figure out just how much power was in that extinct frog’s bite, lead author Kristopher Lappin, a professor of biological sciences at California State Polytechnic University in Pomona, Calif., examined horned frogs — sometimes known as Pac-Man frogs for their large, wide mouths and round shape. Lappin and his team are interested in how things scale in the animal world, in...
