Researchers in southern California have discovered a new type of earthquake that can occur a lot deeper than expected — more than 24 km (15 miles) deep, in Earth's upper mantle.

This new type of earthquake can't be detected by traditional seismic sensors, and has the potential to make quakes much more destructive than previously predicted.

Until now, our understanding of earthquakes was that they occur in the top half of the planet's crust, as continental... Читать дальше...

In a statement issued on October 11, the PKK said it was behind the killing, the second such incident in recent days.

All major S&P 500 indexes were lower, with healthcare to its lowest level since the post-Brexit selloff in late June. Читать дальше...

Republican National Committee spokesman Sean Spicer has been having a rough week.

After Sunday's debate, Weekly Standard reporter John McCormack asked Spicer whether he believed the "p---y"-grabbing actions Donald Trump described on the "Access Hollywood" tape constituted sexual assault, if Trump really did what he bragged about doing.

Spicer's reply: "I don't know. I'm not a lawyer."

When The Washington Post reported this quote, Spicer said the quote was made up. Читать дальше...

It's finally over.

After continuing to sell replacement Galaxy Note 7 phones for weeks despite even more reports of fires and explosions, Samsung has decided to end production of the phone for good.

It's a late move, but it's ultimately the right one.

But there's more work to be done if Samsung wants to be taken seriously the next time it launches a major new phone, and it stems from the lack of transparency from Samsung throughout this entire debacle. We still have no idea what caused the Note 7 to overheat... Читать дальше...

Job-hunting site CareerCast sifted through its database of nationwide IT jobs and came up with a list of the best of them for 2016, based on salary and the importance of the work at their companies.

They also looked at how fast each type of job is growing, and projected how likely that job is to keep growing.

So these in-demand jobs of 2016 are going to stay that way for 2017 and, mostly likely, for many more years to come.

London (AFP) - Prisons in Europe are becoming "breeding grounds" for jihadist groups, with some criminals seeing violent extremism as a form of redemption for their crimes, a report by a British think tank published Tuesday said.

Jihadist and criminal groups are recruiting from the same pool of people, while their social networks are also converging, the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation and Political Violence (ICSR) found, in what it dubbed a "new crime-terror nexus". Читать дальше...

Life is too short to stay in a job you hate. It's also way too short to jump ship at the first new opportunity, only to realize that you hate the new gig even more.

You could theoretically deal with this situation by never taking a risk professionally. Or, you could take a calculated risk after you engage in some careful introspection — specifically by figuring out what it is that you detest most and least about your current work.

That second option is... Читать дальше...

Samsung has heeded the advice of analysts and reporters alike, shutting down production of the Galaxy Note 7. The flagship phone was meant to be Samsung’s counter to the iPhone 7 this fall, and while it earned glowing reviews upon launch, it simply wouldn’t stop blowing up. Now, the phone’s failure could cost the company up to $17 billion in lost sales.

Sure, a lot of super-successful people are early risers, but you don't have to get up in the wee hours of the morning to have a productive day.

You just have to have a great morning routine.

And if there's one daily ritual it should definitely include, it's this: writing out a plan for the day.

This should always include the short-term goals you want to achieve throughout the day.

My very first car was a 1997 Subaru Forester and all it came with was a simple turn key that both started the car and unlocked the door.

But keys have come a long way since even my early driving days. Some automakers have ditched the classic key altogether for high-tech fobs, while others are giving classic keys an aesthetic upgrade.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump in Sunday's debate reiterated his promise to kill the "carried interest" tax loophole that benefits hedge fund managers and others - but his tax plan offers other goodies to Wall Street financiers, a nonpartisan tax research group said on Tuesday.

The American Civil War was a bloody affair, where many battles were fought with infantry tactics that had been around for 100 years. But some weapons designers pushed the envelope of technology during the violent conflict and developed arms that would revolutionize the way militaries fight for centuries.

The late-night ground is shifting, and with the 2016 election less than a month away — and wilder than ever — the shows are particularly relevant in this moment.

Now that legends of late night like David Letterman and Jay Leno have finally moved on, others are quickly rising or trying to figure out their place: Stephen Colbert, in a move from Comedy Central to Letterman's CBS spot; Trevor Noah, the still-newish millennial face of "The Daily Show"; and perhaps most notably, Samantha Bee...
