arXiv:2608.28072v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The Egyptian knotted rope has been historically considered a measuring/geometric tool. A naive change in the way the rope is held to tighten it turns the rope into a primitive calculating tool --- a sort of primitive abacus. The arithmetic skills of the knotted rope have a double interest. From an historical point of view, they fit perfectly with some of the basic ancient Egyptian computing techniques. From an educational point of view, they enhance the potential interest of the knotted rope as a useful manipulative in mathematical education.

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration is taking steps to limit an Egyptian bank's operations in the United Arab Emirates, accusing the financial institution of serving as an economic lifeline to Tehran's leadership as the U.S. war against Iran reaches the six-month mark. Under a new rule proposed Friday by the Treasury Department, the Emirati branches of Banque Misr, Egypt’s second-largest bank, would be severed from access to the U.S. financial system. It follows Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's announcement this week of a new campaign to push countries that still do business with the already heavily sanctioned Islamic Republic to sever their financial ties or face retaliation from the United States. In stopping short of imposing sanctions on the Egyptian bank, the move signals the Republican administration's reluctance to penalize major trading partners that do business with Iran, including China and India. Bessent told reporters on Monday that he wanted countries to have an
