An elderly woman was killed by a shark in the Egyptian resort of Sharm el-Sheikh on Sunday.

Several other swimmers have been mauled in the past week.

Conspiracy theories are always popular in the Middle East, with unlikely suggestions often made that troubles in Arab countries could be caused by Mossad agents.

Rumours had circulated in Egypt that there could be an Israeli connection to this unusual spate of Red Sea shark attacks.

However, it was comments attributed to the South Sinai governor, Mohamed Abdul Fadil Shousha, carried on an official Egyptian news site that drew attention.

"What is being said about the Mossad throwing the deadly shark [in the sea] to hit tourism in Egypt is not out of the question, but it needs time to confirm," he is reported to have said.

The Jerusalem Post picked up on the story - quoting Israeli officials who rejected the notion as "ludicrous".

Israeli foreign ministry spokesman Igal Palmor then told the BBC: "The man must have seen Jaws one time too many, and confuses fact and fiction."

The Order of Mevlevi, as the Whirling Dervishes are officially known, is a Sufi movement founded in the 13th century after the death of poet and philosopher Mevlana Rumi.

Their spiritual home is Konya, in the central Anatolian region of Turkey, where the Mevlana Museum contains the tomb of Rumi and his son.

Every December, crowds flock to Konya to commemorate Rumi and watch the Whirling Dervishes perform their iconic dance.

The dance is performed in a symbolic costume of white robes and a conical hat, called a sikke. Accompanied by a reed pipe, the dancers raise their arms towards heaven and whirl in a counter-clockwise direction.

Also known as the sema ceremony, the dance is a central part of the Mevlevi philosophy and has been added to UNESCO's list of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

Mete Horzum became a Whirling Dervish 13 years ago after six months of physical and spiritual training.

He told CNN that dancing at the tomb of Mevlana -- whom followers describe as their lover because of their love for him -- was one of his proudest moments.

"Just to be with your lover and to be here just in front of him. It was a big gift for me," he said.

The rotations represent the earth's orbit around the sun, and the dance is a symbolic journey in which the dervishes are meant to get closer to God and truth.

Traditionally, only men can dance as Whirling Dervishes, although that is beginning to change. In Istanbul, men and women can now take part in the dance together.

Sevtap Demirtas, a female Whirling Dervish in Istanbul, said: "When you turn to God, or if you're thinking of connecting to your inner self, it doesn't matter if the person beside you is a woman or a man."

Talat Halman, a former minister of culture in Turkey and one of the country's most well known Rumi scholars, said Konya, a more conservative town, may one day follow suit.

Many of the victims of the fire were trainee prison officers who were going to evacuate 500 inmates to safety from Damon Prison, on the edge of the forest.

The fire destroyed more than 12,300 acres (5,000 hectares) of land, more than five million trees and 74 buildings.

Close to 17,000 people were evacuated from homes, hospitals and prisons.

The spiritual leader of Mr Yishai's ultra-Orthodox Jewish party, Shas, suggested at the time that the forest fire was punishment from God for religious offences committed by those living in the Carmel region.

Over the years, many people have tried to beat the casino, and turn roulette - a game designed to turn a profit for the house - into one on which the player expects to win. Most of the time this comes down to the use of betting systems, strategies which say that the house edge can beaten by simply employing a special pattern of bets, often relying on the 'gambler's fallacy', the idea that past results are any guide to the future (for example, if a roulette wheel has come up 10 times in a row on red, that red on the next spin is any more or less likely than if the last spin was black).
All betting systems when employed on casino edge games will result, on average, in the player losing money. In practice, players employing betting systems may win, and may indeed win very large sums of money, but the losses (which, depending on the design of the betting system, may occur quite rarely) will outweigh the wins. Certain systems, such as the Martingale, described below, are extremely risky, because the worst case scenario (which is mathematically certain to happen, at some point) may see the player chasing losses with ever bigger bets until he runs out of money.
Biased wheels
Whereas betting systems are essentially an attempt to beat the fact that a geometric series with initial value of 0.95 (American roulette) or 0.97 (European roulette) will inevitably over time tend to zero, engineers instead attempt to overcome the house edge through predicting the mechanical performance of the wheel, most notably by Joseph Jagger at Monte Carlo in 1873. These schemes work by determining that the ball is more likely to fall at certain numbers, and if sufficiently good will raise the return of the game above 100%, defeating the betting system problem.
Edward O. Thorp (the developer of card counting and an early hedge-fund pioneer) and Claude Shannon (a mathematician and computer scientist best known for his contributions to information theory) built arguably the first wearable computer to do so in 1961. This system worked by timing the ball and wheel, and therefore predicting the most likely octant where the ball would fall. This could be countered simply by closing the table for betting before beginning the spin.
To try to prevent exploits like these, the casinos monitor the performance of their wheels, and rebalance and realign them regularly to try to keep the result of the spins as uniform as possible.
At least in the 1930s, some professional gamblers were able to consistently gain an edge in roulette by seeking out rigged wheels (not difficult to find at that time) and betting opposite the largest bets.
In 1982, several casinos in England began to lose large sums of money at their roulette tables to teams of gamblers from the USA. Upon investigation by the police, it was discovered they were using a legal system of biased wheel-section betting. As a result of this, the English roulette wheel manufacturer John Huxley manufactured a roulette wheel to counteract the problem.
The new wheel, designed by George Melas, was called "low profile" because the pockets had been drastically reduced in depth, and various other design modifications caused the ball to descend in a gradual approach to the pocket area. In 1986, when a professional gambling team headed by Billy Walters won $3.8 million using the system on an old wheel at the Golden Nugget in Atlantic City, every casino in the world took notice, and within one year had switched to the new low-profile wheel.]]> Albert Einstein is reputed to have stated, "You cannot beat a roulette table unless you steal money from it."[dubious – discuss] This does not mean that you cannot win at a roulette table, but rather that more players will walk away with less money than their buy-in.

The Space Race promotion is one of the biggest campaigns InterCasino has ever staged and follows the casino’s re-brand from last week.
In essence, the entire promotion all revolves around accumulating ‘lucky stars’. The stars are collected every time a player makes a wager and can be put towards a variety of promotions until the end of May.

The benchmark offer is the chance for one player to one a trip into sub-orbital space – a privilege that has been enjoyed by only 445 other people on the planet to date. The winner will be picked at random on June 1 and will undergo training and preparation before being blasted 100kms into the sky, where he or she will experience weightlessness.

Although this is the main prize, the other trips on offer at InterCasino are also spectacular and include: South Africa including football and safari, Dubai including horse racing carnival, Augusta, USA including golf weekend, Monaco Grand Prix including watching race from harbour yacht, Glastonbury music weekend including stay in Winnebago, Madrid to see the Champions League football final, Las Vegas plus tickets to see U2 live, Cardiff including Ryder Cup weekend entry, Australia including helicopter ride over Ayers Rock, Ibiza including luxury villa stay for up to four friends, Lapland including a stay in the world’s only igloo hotel, Capri, Italy including pampering weekend for up to 4 friends, and finally a trip to Texas, USA including tickets to see the 2011 Super Bowl.

A new prize will be awarded every week in a random prize draw. All players must do to qualify is earn some stars.

There’s more... if that’s still not enough, there is also a leaderboard competition with a £100,000 prize pool and a £50,000 top prize. The main leaderboard competition will run for the duration of the promotion but there is also a weekly competition with a £10,000 prize pool and £5,000 weekly top prize.
