In the match held Thursday evening at the Azadi Stadium in Tehran, Ghoochannejhad, who came off the bench, was on target in the 94th minute and six minutes later Jahanbakhsh extended the lead. Iran controlled much of the opening proceedings, but it was the Qataris who fashioned out the better of the goal scoring opportunities in the first 20 minutes. Qatari Sebastian Soria’s attempt from the tightest of angles did little to trouble Alireza Beiranvand in the goal, who was also equal to Hassan Al Haydos’ effort soon after. Iranians slowly tued their dominance of possession into attempts on goal and Ashkan Dejagah should have done better with his effort from outside the area rather than dragging his low shot well wide of the target. The game tued increasingly disjointed during the second half, with Iranian defender Jalal Hosseini going close to opening the scoring 17 minutes from time when he met Andranik Teymourian’s coer with a header that went just wide of Lacomte’s goal.,iran vs qatar world cup qualifiers ...ادامه مطلب

This could mean advances in the world of technology with machines able to predict, among other things, human behavior. The discovery takes inspiration from the work of pioneering computer scientist Alan Turing, who proposed a test, which a machine could pass if it behaved indistinguishably from a human. In this test, an interrogator exchanges messages with two players in a different room: one human, the other a machine. The interrogator has to find out which of the two players is human. If they consistently fail to do so - meaning that they are no more successful than if they had chosen one player at random - the machine has passed the test, and is considered to have human-level intelligence. Dr Roderich Gross from the Department of Automatic Control and Systems Engineering at the University of Sheffield, said, "Our study uses the Turing test to reveal how a given system - not necessarily a human - works. In our case, we put a swarm of robots under surveillance and wanted to find out w, ...ادامه مطلب

"It's (Saudi Arabia's) position that rejects the candidacy of [Change and Reform bloc leader MP] Michel Aoun, and worsened the inteal crisis that we're today experiencing through the Cabinet," Qaouk said during a memorial for a Hezbollah fighter in the Lebanese town of Tayr Filsey in the southe district of Tyre (Sour). He attributed the absence of a president in Lebanon to Saudi Arabia's rejection of Aoun, a position which he said has negatively impacted all state institutions. "As long as the Future Movement is walking behind the Saudi veto, Lebanon will not be stable," Qaouk added, the Daily Star reported. He noted that no faction can be excluded. "Hezbollah advised the Future Movement to salvage the country and change their negative position against Aoun," he continued.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with al-Manar late on Friday, Nasrallah said he is “confident” that Hezbollah “would emerge victorious from any new war with Israel.” “After the (2006) war, I visited the Bekaa Valley and southe Lebanon. They (Israelis) say their achievement is that they forced me to hide in a bunker. That’s not true; I’ve met with many people away from the spotlight. I live and get around in a natural way. I do not live in a bunker,” the Hezbollah chief said, Press TV reported. He said the missiles that Hezbollah fired against Israel during the 2006 war came from the Syrian military industry, and they were not manufactured in Iran. “The war was aimed at eliminating the resistance in Lebanon, Syria and Palestine, and eventually isolating Iran. What is happening in Syria is a form of revenge for that war,” he said, referring to the foreign-backed mi,hezbollah will defeat israel,hezbollah will defeat isis,will hezbollah defeat israel again,hezbollah can defeat israel,can hezbollah defeat isis ...ادامه مطلب

“The people of Yemen continue to bear the brunt of the suffering as a result of the inability of the parties to find a political solution to a conflict that has been raging for more than a year and a half. The retu to full-scale hostilities only drives humanitarian needs further,” said Jamie McGoldrick, the UN Humanitarian Coordinator in Yemen, in a statement, adding: “A political solution is the only solution to this crisis.” According to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), local media has reported that ground fighting and air strikes have killed and maimed children and women, and destroyed homes and markets, particularly in the capital, Sana’a, and its goveorates, Sa’ada, Taizz, and Al Hudaydah.

Through combining data from 10 independent clinical trials with a total of 385 patients with schizophrenia, researchers from the University of Manchester found that around 12 weeks of aerobic exercise training can significant improve patients' brain functioning. The study by Joseph Firth, Brendon Stubbs and Alison Yung is published in Schizophrenia Bulletin. Schizophrenia's acute phase is typified by hallucinations and delusions, which are usually treatable with medication. However, most patients are still troubled with pervasive 'cognitive deficits'; including poor memory, impaired information processing and loss of concentration. The research showed that patients who are treated with aerobic exercise programs, such as treadmills and exercise bikes, in combination with their medication, will improve their overall brain functioning more than those treated with medications alone. The areas which were most improved by exercising were patients' ability to understand social situations, the, ...ادامه مطلب

"We believe that Donald Trump's divisiveness, recklessness, incompetence, and record-breaking unpopularity risk tuing this election into a Democratic landslide, and only the immediate shift of all available RNC resources to vulnerable Senate and House races will prevent the GOP from drowning with a Trump-emblazoned anchor around its neck," a draft of the letter stated. "This should not be a difficult decision, as Donald Trump's chances of being elected president are evaporating by the day." Some of the signatories include former Connecticut Rep. Chris Shays, former New Hampshire Sen. Gordon Humphrey, former Rep. Tom Coleman of Missouri, and about 20 former RNC staffers, CBS News reported. Politico was the first outlet to report on the letter. Andrew Weinstein, an adamant Trump critic and former press aide of former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, helped organize the letter.

The two professors at the American University of Afghanistan were seized Sunday evening and no group has so far claimed responsibility for their abduction. "Two foreign professors, one American and the other Australian, were abducted at gunpoint by a kidnapping gang from Dar-ul-Aman road in the center of Kabul city," a security official told AFP. "We refrain from further comment in order to not damage police rescue efforts." The kidnapping comes just two weeks after the rescue of an Indian charity worker, who was also taken at gunpoint near her residence in the heart of the city. The US State Department said it was aware of reports of the kidnapping of an American citizen, but declined to comment further. The Australian govement confirmed the "apparent kidnapping" of one its citizens, citing its embassy in Kabul, but also refused to elaborate due to security considerations. "We continue to advise Australians not to travel to Afghanistan because of the extremely dangerous security situation, including the serious threat of kidnapping," the govement said in a statement. The abductions underscore the growing dangers faced by foreigners in Afghanistan. A group of tourists, including British, American and German nationals, came under Taliban fire Thursday in the weste province of Herat, leaving some of them wounded. Aid workers in particular have increasingly been casualties of a surge in militant violence in recent years. The Indian charity worker, 40-year-old Judith D'Souza who was a staff member of prominent NGO Aga Khan Foundation, had been abducted on the night of June 9. D'Souza's abduction came after Katherine Jane Wilson, a well-known Australian NGO worker, was kidnapped on April 28 in the city of Jalalabad, close to the border with Pakistan. Wilson, said to be aged 60, ran an organization known as Zardozi, which promotes the work of Afghan artisans, particularly women. The United States in May waed its citizens in Afghanistan of a "very high" kidnapping risk aft, ...ادامه مطلب

“There is no deference between Republicans and Democrats in adopting stances against our country,” Velayati said in an interview with Lebanon's Arabic-language al-Mayadeen news channel. “As we have witnessed that Democrats are creating problems on the (nuclear) deal with Iran,” he added, referring to the July 2015 nuclear deal between the Islamic Republic and other world powers, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). However, Iran’s hands are not “tied up” and there is other options if the US renege on the JCPOA (undertakings), added Velayati, who is also an inteational adviser to Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei. He went on to say that Iran will definitely act on its national interests regarding the agreement. While the JCPOA, a 159-page nuclear agreement between Iran and the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany) came into force in January, some Iranian officials complain about the US failure to fully implement the accord. Earlier in March, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei said Americans have yet to fulfill what they were supposed to do as per the nuclear deal. Iran still has problems in its banking transactions or in restoring its frozen assets, because Weste countries and those involved in such processes are afraid of Americans, the Leader said at the time, criticizing the US for its moves to prevent Iran from taking advantage of the sanctions removal.
