The International Mathematical Union (IMU) has revealed on its website the winners of the 2014 Fields medals, considered the highest honour in mathematics. The four young medallists—including Maryam Mirzakhani, the first female winner since the prizes were established in 1936—have been selected for their contributions to topics ranging from dynamical systems to the geometry of numbers and the solution of equations of the type that describe many physical phenomena. [...] A native of Iran, Maryam Mirzakhani is at Stanford University in California. She won for her work on “the dynamics and geometry of Riemann surfaces and their moduli spaces.”

Robin Williams' daughter has left social media after receiving abusive messages—including images of photoshopped images of her father's body—in the wake of his death. Zelda Williams, 25, said she had taken the decision to remove social media applications from her phone and other devices before deciding whether to delete her accounts. [...] In a tweet, which has since been deleted, she pleaded with her 170,000 followers to report two users who had sent her the images and abusive messages, saying she was "shaking".

With their eyes squarely on the wealth of oil and gas sitting underneath the Arctic crust, Vladimir Putin and Stephen Harper both understand the resource-rich potential for whichever country holds the most land in the North Pole. This latest scientific mission is being undertaken with those natural resources in mind. In fact, the Natural Resources department is jointly “responsible for the scientific work,” with Fisheries and Oceans Canada on the whole operation.
Federal investigators have faulted two Virginia schools for pinning down and isolating disabled students improperly, saying the schools used the practices routinely as a “one-size fits all” response to disruptive behavior despite evidence they didn’t work. Rather than focusing on specific incidents, the investigators found a systematic breakdown in how educators at the schools employed restraints and seclusions. The school-wide scope of the findings signals that the federal education department’s Office of Civil Rights expects schools to pay close attention to how they are implementing the potentially dangerous tactics.
