  1. Untouched 4,400-year-old tomb discovered at Saqqara, Egypt A. R. Williams 1 day ago During Egypt’s pyramid age, a well-connected man named Wahtye died and was laid to rest in the vast royal cemetery that now occupies the desert west of modern Cairo. His colourfully decorated tomb, apparently intact, has recently come to light some 16 feet (five meters) beneath the sand at the archaeological site known as Saqqara. © Getty The Egyptian Archaeological Mission working at the Sacred Animal Necropolis in Saqqara archaeological site succeeded to uncover the tomb This burial is “one of a kind in the last decades,” said Mostafa Waziri, secretary general of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, at a press conference that announced the discovery earlier today. "The colour is almost intact even though the tomb is almost 4,400 years old."

  2. A long but fascinating read about one of the most technically complicated space missions in human history; Salyut-7 rescue mission in 1985. Highly recommended! https://arstechnica.com/science/2014/09/the-little-known-soviet-mission-to-rescue-a-dead-space-station/ And they recently made a movie about it too...

  3. I mean have you seen our league lately? It’s outrageously competitive from 5th place and higher. Last season Chelsea were 5th best playing a much more dour style of football, now you’ve got a new man in trying to build towards a much more attractive style of play. And he’s never managed in England before. Are you seriously expecting him to immediately adapt and compete head to head with City? A side who are ridiculously good and enjoying a period of incredible football and stability? HE’S NOT EVEN DOING BADLY! Sarri’s adapting pretty well. You look miles better than you did last season imo and a bit of bad luck for us and City and you’re right back in the thick of it. And I think you’ll make top 4, which will make bringing in top targets easier because players always prefer to move to CL teams It’s not been perfect, but expectations should be tempered to reflect reality. Chelsea weren’t great last season, the top end of the table (which is where Chelsea are, so they’re not failing to meet expectation) is insanely competitive, new manager with a complete opposite style of football to the tactics traditionally employed at Stamford Bridge, and he’s new to the league and so is the man who’s likely the most important signing of the Sarri era (if it’s to be a real project and he’s not just another quick fix). There needs to be a bed in time, even if Sarri is only in briefly to be a bridge for Chelsea moving to a trend of quick fixes with attacking managers. I think he’s being asked to do a lot, I’m not surprised there have been some hiccups.

  4. It's a long read this but a good article, I am no expert on F1 and guys & girls in here would more than run rings around me talking about it but over the years certain F1 driver created an interest to me, Ayrton Senna, Stirling Moss, Lewis Hamilton and this great man, Michael Schumacher, hats off to his loyal family especially his wife who have pushed the media away and kept this tragedy private and hopefully the great man will make a full recovery. Inside the hidden world of Michael Schumacher: Five years on from F1 legend's life-changing accident, how he is NOT bed-ridden but receives nursing care costing more than £50,000 a week in a Swiss chateau. Jonathan McEvoy for the Daily Mail 12 hrs ago © Getty Michael Schumacher at the 2010 British Grand Prix It is a bright winter’s day and next to nothing stirs outside the £50million mansion in which Michael Schumacher is hidden from the world. December 29 will mark five years since the most successful Formula One driver in history, who will turn 50 five days later, fell and hit his head while skiing in Meribel, in the French Alps. But Schumacher’s wife Corinna, whom he married in 1995, has insisted on secrecy over his condition, a request that has been faithfully observed by all around them. Friends don’t talk. If they do, they are no longer friends.

  7. I don't like it to be honest. Think it looks horrendous, like something you would make out of junk modelling at school. But equally, it's refreshing to see something that isn't a bowl. Just a question on the capacity. Griffin Park holds 12,300. This new ground will hold 17,200. An increase of roughly 4,000. What is the point? Seems a bit daft to me...
