Oil prices drop amid demand worries, but US-Iran tensions support2 min read . Updated: 25 Jun 2019, 11:17 AM IST
- Prices head lower after big gains last week
- US imposes sanctions on Iranian leadership
Tokyo: Oil fell on Tuesday amid concerns over the outlook for crude demand, but prices were supported after Washington announced new sanctions on Iran amid mounting tensions in the Middle East.
Benchmark Brent crude futures were down 57 cents, or 0.9%, at $64.29 a barrel by 0342 GMT. They dropped 0.5% on Monday.
US crude futures were down 58 cents, or 1%, at $57.32 a barrel. The US benchmark rose 0.8% in the previous session.
Brent climbed 5% last week and U.S. crude surged 10% after Iran shot down a US drone on Thursday in the Gulf, adding to tensions stoked by attacks on oil tankers in the area in May and June. Washington has blamed the tanker attacks on Iran, which denies having any role.
US President Donald Trump targeted Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other top Iranian officials with sanctions on Monday, taking an unprecedented step to increase pressure on Iran after Tehran's downing of the drone.
"This would appear to effectively rule out any talks or negotiations to end the crisis," said Tom O'Sullivan, founder of energy and security consultancy Mathyos Advisory.
Trump also said on Twitter that other countries should protect their own oil shipping in the Middle East rather than have the United States protect them.
Some said the threat of immediate military conflict had eased slightly.
"Traders have lessened their odds for an immediate US-Iran escalation in this forever smouldering hot spot," said Stephen Innes, managing partner at Vanguard Markets in Bangkok.
Meanwhile, hopes are waning for progress in Sino-US trade talks at this week's G20 meeting as investors await a meeting between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping. That could further hurt global growth prospects, hitting demand for oil and other commodities.
Weak manufacturing data released on Monday by the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas added to worries about slipping demand for crude oil.
However, supply is expected to remain relatively tight, as the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies including Russia, an alliance known as OPEC+, appear likely to extend a deal on curbing output when they meet on July 1-2 in Vienna, analysts said.
Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak said on Monday that international cooperation on crude production had helped stabilise oil markets and was more important than ever. He also voiced concerns about demand.
Sanctions on Iran and Venezuela imposed by Washington have cut oil exports from the two OPEC members but US production has been rising, leading some Russian officials to accuse Washington of carving out market share for its energy exports.

India has taken a step toward increasing seaborne imports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) as the country held a ground breaking ceremony for the construction of an LNG terminal in Bhadrak.
Officials informed that cargoes carried from the US, Canada and Qatar would be delivered to the INR 60 billion (USD 930.3 million) Bhadrak terminal, which will be located at the port of Dhamra. Although India has import terminals in Gujarat and Maharashtra, the new terminal will be the country's first LNG terminal.
Under the development plans, the LNG terminal will have a capacity of 5 million metric tons per year and is expected to contribute to the process of development and economic growth in eastern India, according to Dharmendra Pradhan, India's Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas.
Pradhan further informed that the terminal, which will provide employment and investment opportunities, along with access to clean fuel, is expected to be commissioned by 2020-21.
"Dhamra will be a vital link in connecting Eastern India to the gas infrastructure of the country and will also benefit neighboring countries," Pradhan said.

They took a deep breath. "It's possible to explain all of this without sabotage, but 'sabotage' requires far fewer strange coincidences. Even the kinds of problems you're having are suggestive of sabotage: the fleas and rats are annoying but not dangerous in the short term, while carpenter ants can do serious structural damage in the long term. Like a two-pronged assault designed to make the complex uninhabitable without hurting anyone. Is there anyone who would have wanted the previous enchanting firm fired?"
"Aside from me?" Corydalis smiled wryly. "They're a large organization and they've been both difficult and expensive for years. They're well-connected, however. Perhaps they've inherited some enemies from their connections."
Smoke nodded. "Another possibility -- is there anyone who stands to gain if the seat of government left Courthall?" Replacing all of the wards would be a costly endeavor. Some of them were installed when a building was constructed, and were almost impossible to correct afterwards.
The draka's mouth thinned to a hard line. "That is an all too real possibility. Speaker Iris has wanted the government seat to relocate to Kindlewood for years, and the inability of Windbreak Enchantment to solve our latest problems has given her movement more supporters." Corydalis folded his hands before him on the desk, and leaned forward to study Smoke with intense gold eyes. "If it's not a problem with the wards, master enchanter, is there ought that you can do for us?"
Smoke considered. "There are ways I can help, although only one of them is what you hired me for. The existing wards are still sloppy and I can improve them in various ways. I can also install more gatherers and monitor the situation to help you find the saboteurs. Or I can take steps to mitigate the problems the vermin cause. I could even talk to Windbreak Enchantment myself, in case they're more helpful towards another professional."
"Ah. And in your professional estimation, which of these measures would you recommend come first?"

What countries can I purchase an UBCO 2×2 in?
We are currently available in New Zealand, Australia and the US as well as UK and Europe with other markets coming soon. If you would like to be kept informed about our new markets you can sign up to our newsletter here.
What is the top speed of the 2×2?
The top speed of the dual-use 2×2 is 50kph in New Zealand – of course, this varies depending on your terrain and load. Gravity kicks in and makes downhill fun, but fun aside, do be careful and always drive to the conditions folks.
What are the dimensions of the dual-use 2×2?
Overall length = 1800mm, wheel base = 1250mm, overall width = 800mm, height (not including wing mirrors) = 1080mm
What is the range of the 2×2?
The dual-use 2×2 has a range capability of up to 120km. Variables such as load, terrain, speed and wind resistance do influence this.
How long does it take to charge the battery?
It takes 6 to 8 hours to charge the battery from flat.
Is the 2×2 capable of brake regeneration?
Yes, the dual-use 2×2 has brake regeneration to assist with braking and reducing brake wear, along with providing some extra charge into the battery.
What are the UBCO 2×2's climbing abilities?
Being 2-wheel drive and weighing in at only 65kgs with a low centre of gravity, the 2×2 is very manoeuvrable and easy to handle, even up hill. With a load of up to 100kg, it is estimated that the maximum gradient is 25%, however you should always take the drivers abilities and limitations into consideration. Set up a demo with your local Dealer to see how well it works in your environment!
How much can I carry?
We recommend you do not exceed your body weight in cargo or ride with over 150kg total. Cargo should be evenly distributed between front and rear. We've created some custom UBCO accessories to help you load up your gear – click here to check it out!
Is the 2×2 road legal?
The dual-use 2×2 is road registerable, meaning you can take your adventure both on- and off-road. The off-road only 2×2 is for your off-road adventures only.
Do I need a driver's licence to ride the 2×2?
If you are riding the dual-use 2×2 on-road you will indeed need a driver's licence, a standard NZ Learner License will do! However, if you are using it as an off-road, unregistered vehicle, or riding the off-road 2×2, you won't require a license.
How do I register a dual-use 2×2 for on-road use?
Simply take the MR2A document provided with your dual-use UBCO 2×2, together with photo ID and a form of payment to your local licensing agency and they will register and license your 2×2 there and then.
How much does it cost to register a dual-use 2×2?
The dual-use UBCO 2×2 is classed as an LA moped and licensing and registration costs can be found on NZTA's website.
What are the WOF requirements for the dual-use 2×2?
As the dual-use UBCO 2×2 is classed as a moped, there is no requirement to have a WOF, only to register and licence it if you intend to use it on-road.
Do I have to register my dual-use UBCO 2×2 if I only use it off-road?
If your UBCO adventure is purely off-road then there is no requirement to register your 2×2 for on-road use, however you still need to register your warranty with us at UBCO. You can do that by clicking here.
Are the electric hub motors synchronized or do they run independently?
The 2×2 motors are powered independently, and are not connected mechanically. Power to both wheels, rather than just one or the other, is most efficient for the battery.
Is there an option to switch off one of the two motors to save power?
No – it's more economical and less straining for the motors to share the load.
What is the voltage of the battery?
The UBCO battery is rated at 50.4V (58.8V fully charged) 48Ah (rated).
What size engine would this be equivalent to?
Electric motors behave very differently than internal combustion engines. The main difference is electric motors achieve maximum torque at low rpm, which is the opposite of an internal combustion engine.
Do I have to take the battery out to charge the bike?
No you don't – you can plug the charger into a port on the console. In saying that, if you wish to take the battery out to charge, you can do so.
Can I buy more than one battery, so I can keep moving? Is it hard to swap out?
Indeed, you can. Simply undo the strap, lift the seat and pull the battery out by the handles. Pop your replacement battery in and you are good to go. You can buy replacement batteries, just contact us or your local dealer.
Can I charge the battery using solar power?
Good on you for going off the grid! The 2×2 can only be charged via the provided UBCO charger, which can be connected to solar however the supply needs to be regulated and you will need a minimum of 420W solar output.
Can the battery be charged from a standard 12-volt vehicle charging system?
No, the bike is provided with a charger and cannot be charged off a 12V socket. If your vehicle has a power inverter to provide a 240v output, it could be charged off that but will take a while. Please note, your inverter will need to be able to provide 420W to the UBCO charger.
I need to store my battery for a long period of time as I won't need to use it. What is the best way?
If you're storing your battery for an extended period, ensure the battery has between 50% and 90% charge. Storing the battery with either too full or too low a charge can cause cell damage, reducing the battery life and capacity. We recommend checking the charge level every 3 months to make sure it is still in the optimum range. It's also a good idea to unplug the power cable that connects the battery to the 2×2 until you're ready to use it again if you are leaving your battery with your 2×2.
What happens to the old batteries?
Our goal is to establish a product stewardship scheme, whereby we would actively take batteries back and either rebate them for a purchase of a new battery or recycle them. This will be in line with when we anticipate the first of our batteries reaching the end of their useful lifespans, which we estimate will be 2020. Currently, there are no lithium recycling facilities in New Zealand. There is one in Australia, but we would be working with our manufacturers to deliver a more circular solution.
What are the battery output specifications?
The battery console outputs are: 12V @15A (180W) and 5V @3A.
The main bike output is 50V (nominal) @80A (4kW)
If running a 110VAC or 230VAC inverter off the 12V output, the maximum power out is limited to approx. 150W
If running a 110VAC or 230VAC inverter off the 50V output, the maximum power out is approx. 3.75kW
What happens if the motors get submerged?
If the motors get fully submerged (particularly when hot) they may take on water. This can prematurely age the internal parts of the motor and would negate your motor warranty.
Will salt water be an issue?
As with any piece of machinery, salt water will accelerate corrosion. It is important to wash the 2×2 down regularly when using it in salty environments and avoid submerging the motors, keeping any water below the level of the foot pegs.
How do the tyres hold up in mud?
The dual-use 2×2 comes equipped with a standard 2.75×17 tyre. This is an all-terrain tyre, designed mainly for road and gravel use. If you will be using the 2×2 in extremely muddy conditions then we recommend fitting knobbly off-road tyres as they will give much more grip. These come at an additional cost and your UBCO dealer or a tyre store could fit these for you. There is a wide range of different tyres, some of which aren't compatible with the 2×2, so always check with your Dealer before purchasing new ones.
Can I use a high-pressure hose on the 2×2?
We do not recommend using a high-pressure hose on the 2×2. Just a standard hose and brush should do the job if you keep on top of it regularly!
Can a pillion passenger seat be fitted?
The 2×2 is designed to have only one person on it, therefore we recommend that only one-person rides on the 2×2 at any given time.
Can I tow a trailer?
Not right now, however we are currently working on designing a custom light trailer for the 2×2 which will be for off-road use in the first instance, so watch this space!
Is the seat height adjustable?
In short – no. The seat is fixed in place at 800mm but can be flipped up to allow for the removal of the battery.
What is the capacity of the Portable Power Unit?
Currently we have 12v and 5v out with a capacity of 60 Ah in total. We will be releasing a module that goes onto the base block with a full inverter in this coming year (2020).
Are you planning on bringing out any new models in the future?
We have received a lot of interest in other variants and are working on bringing you more variations in the future. Our first goal is to make a success of the UBCO 2×2 globally!
Where can I get spare or extra parts?
Talk to us or contact your local dealer; either one of us will be able to supply you with what you need.
Can I use the bike to charge my tools when out and about?
You sure can — we can't have our technology going flat, can we?! The UBCO 2×2 has a DC 12V output (cigarette lighter style) rated to 10 amps (120W). It also has two snazzy little USB outputs for charging your phone and other hand-held devices.
I want to ship a bike to Timbuktu. Is this possible?
Unfortunately it's not that simple! Differing compliance requirements makes this tricky, plus we need to ensure that your bike can be technically supported. Hopefully it won't be too long before we see you though! Click here to sign up to our newsletter and stay in the loop on when we reach new markets.
What are the service requirements for the 2×2?
Whilst the 2×2 has fewer moving parts than a typical combustion engine vehicle, they still require maintenance and servicing to ensure a continued safe operation. Every 2×2 will need regular servicing and maintenance checks to ensure that the warranty is maintained. You can find details of our recommended servicing schedules here.
Who do I contact to book my 2×2 in for a service?
Contact your local UBCO Dealer and they will book you in. You can find their details by clicking here.
I own an off-road 2×2 – can I purchase an upgrade kit to make it road worthy?
Short answer – no. The off-road 2×2 was not designed in accordance with automotive regulatory standards so cannot be registered for road use.
What is the fording depth?
The 2×2 is designed to perform in all terrains, and can therefore cross through bodies of water such as rivers and streams. However, the water level should not exceed the height of the foot pegs or axels. Evidence of full submersion can void your warranty.
What if I don't like white? Can I get a pink one?
The first round of 2×2's comes in white only. You can customise with attachments on the accessory lugs — holsters, carry bags, tassels, you name it. We may look into other colours in the future — drop us a line and let us know what you'd like to see next!

-Dimensions: 42"L x 16"W x 13"H
Q: Can I use this on grass?
A: No, this needs to used on a hard flat surface free of any dirt or debris.
Q: Why is the spring so stiff?
A: Sometimes, our pogo sticks need to go through a seasoning period for the spring to loosen up. Try loosening up using an oil based liquid or lubricant like WD-40, baby oil or Vaseline. It may also take some time for your child to get the hang of using it properly.

A: Yes, we always recommend staying within the weight limit rather than the age limit.
Q: Does this come fully assembled?
A: Yes! It is ready to bounce right out of the box.
Q: Why does it say it's a foam pogo stick?
A: It is constructed with metal parts and spring so it is covered with a soft foam material for safety purposes.
Q: It doesn't seem to bounce as well when we first got it, suggestions?
A: We recommend using an oil based liquid or other lubricant to loosen up the shaft and spring to keep it bouncing nice and smooth. You can use WD-40, baby oil, vaseline etc.
Q: How high can this bounce?
A: It depends on your child's skill level but it can bounce from 1 to 2 feet off the ground.
Q: My child is under the age limit but within the weight limit, can they still use this?
A: Yes, we recommend staying within the weight range rather than the age range.

Pop-punk exists in a weird place in the musical landscape. It's a genre perfectly tailored for 13- to 18-year-olds. It offers a dash of the rebellious spirit of punk, while not forcing the listener to wholeheartedly adopt a punk worldview. It has a sonic edge but maintains distant (or in some cases direct) melodic ties to the sugary pop many children grow up on.
And those are the things that made Sum 41's platinum-selling breakout album All Killer, No Filler a perfect pop-punk record. Armed with melodic riffs, bratty vocals and the pseudo rap-punk hit "Fat Lip," the album rips through 13 tracks about girls, summer, girls, lack of motivation, girls and the sheer difficulty of waking up in the morning. Yes, those are simplistic messages, but when delivered with some hooky power chords it was able to make a legion of teens (myself included) collectively think, "This music gets me! I think about girls too much and have a really hard time getting out of bed!"
Sum 41 is currently touring to mark the 10th anniversary of All Killer, No Filler's not-too-shabby follow-up Does This Look Infected? — and I'm rather giddy about it. But, for a lot of reasons, it feels a bit anachronistic to be celebrating such a landmark.
Because pop-punk has a built-in target audience, the genre is set up to stand the test of time on a macro level. But to stay relevant, it must constantly discard its old parts for new pieces on a micro level. This goes for both for the bands and the fans.
The idea of old pop-punks doesn't quite feel right. And so older pop-punk groups attempt minor reinvention to make their music more "adult." Most fail miserably. But Sum 41 has done an admirable job in this regard, leaning more toward hard rock on 2004's Chuck, which earned the band a Juno Award (aka Canadian Grammy) for Rock Album of the Year. While they're not finding a level of success near All Killer, No Filler, they're still surviving.
But when it comes to the fans, pop-punk is, arguably, the only rock genre that most everyone grows out of. Personally, I began to stop following pop-punk around the time I set off for college. It wasn't a conscious decision, more a reflection of a feeling that I was losing touch. Every year's Warped Tour lineup included less and less familiar names and since my peers were similarly growing out of it, I wasn't actively being exposed to the upstart bands. So even as a Sum 41 fan, I never got around to picking up 2007's Underclass Hero or 2011's Screaming Bloody Murder. It wasn't a conscious rejection of the band, it was more that the thought didn't even cross my mind. Sum 41 was suddenly hidden behind a door that I forgot existed and had long since lost the key to.
As an adult, I tried to keep that connection to the pop-punk world — only to feel further alienated by it. When going to see Bowling for Soup at The Big Easy (now the Knitting Factory), it quickly became clear that I had to be one of the few souls on the floor who could even legally possess a driver's license. The fans were all young and tiny, and when they started gleefully moshing during the piano-pop opening act, the band's frontman literally had to stop and scold them, declaring, "This isn't a D.K. show." His efforts were futile: if you have to tell kids to stop moshing to piano ballads, Dead Kennedys references are probably going to be miles over their heads. I could feel the disconnect.
There are bands that make me cringe when I recall my youthful, devoted fandom (Simple Plan and Good Charlotte come to mind). But Sum 41 is not one of those bands. I can still listen back and genuinely enjoy the tunes, colored by my junior high hijinks and the mindset that accompanied my hearing "Fat Lip" for the first time.
The 14-year-old core of me is frickin' stoked to see Sum 41 live for the first time, but my 25-year-old exoskeleton is also excited. While it seems we grow out of pop-punk, we don't have to grow out of the bands we loved. Scratch that — love. They still speak to me now: I still have a really hard time getting out of bed.

You've heard the saying – don't put all your eggs in one basket. I've been thinking about that the past day or so.
I am currently in Orange County at the beautiful Pelican Hill resort doing a live backstage announce gig for a biotech company. This is the 4th year in a row that I have been asked to be the voice of the company for this particular sales meeting. It is a fun job. The people are nice. The food and accomodations are always more than good. And the pay is quite good as well. But each year, I try to not think about the next year. Because next year may not come.
Early in my voiceover career – or perhaps I should call it my free lance career, because I was doing other things besides voiceover at that time (producing and writing and some on-camera spokesperson) – I had a very large regional client for whom I recorded 4 radio and 4 TV spots every month. They went out of business suddenly and – boom, I lost half my income in one fell swoop.
This taught me a big lesson and to this day I not only try to provide excellent service my regular clients, but I am always looking for new relationships to develop. You just never know what will happen. Budgets get cut. Companies go out of business. Decision makers decide to go another direction.
If you know that you are good at what you do, you won't take this personally. But you must be prepared for these changes.

Most dog owners have had to scrub a rug or two after their pooch dragged his backside through the house, but why is your dog dragging his butt on the ground? The most common reason for dogs dragging their butt is impacted anal sacs. This problem is fairly easily avoided by having your dog's anal sacs expressed, usually by a vet or groomer.
But impacted anal sacs aren't the only reason dogs do the booty scoot. Bottom dragging can be the result of anything from a mild irritant to anal tumors and tapeworms, though your vet should be able to check for those causes and rule them out fairly quickly. Fleas or ticks can also cause itchiness, and diarrhea or fecal contamination might also lead to dragging. But one cause of scooting that you might not be aware of is allergies.
Dogs may have skin conditions like rashes, dryness, or itchiness caused by allergies. If your pup is chewing on his paws or licking parts of his skin excessively in addition to butt dragging, it may be a sign of an allergic reaction to something in his environment. This is called allergic dermatitis. Allergens can also be present in food. If your dog has a food allergy and he eats that food, it may cause the allergens to pass into your dog's poop and irritate the anal region.
If you've ruled out other causes, it may be time to see a veterinarian who specializes in pet allergies. Depending on what your dog is allergic to, the vet may prescribe medication or recommend removing the allergen. Pay attention to what your dog eats and comes into contact with.
Has your dog ever done the booty scoot in your home? What was the cause? Let us know in the comments below!

It's been a busy week. I launched my yoga teaching stuff online at the end of last week, booked space for classes, advertised them, had interest, established that the space was closing earlier then before, found another space, confirmed it and readvertised classes. I've got quite a few people interested. I think it's going to be a slow and steady build up of classes but I'm looking forward to the first taster session a week on Saturday.
I've been doing a lot of lesson planning. It's been good and really enjoyable to start sharing some of my course with others.

Lifestyles of the Rich and Tasteless: Spike Dips Into Sex and it's Good Stuff
Bravo TV continues to try and milk the success of its hit cooking show, "Top Chef" for all that it's worth. They have started a new series called "Life After Top Chef" where we get a chance to visit previous contestants and see how they're doing. Because I'm sure everyone is REALLY anxious to know how the losers on the show are living these days.
The D.C. area has it's fair share of Top Chef alumni and in the upcoming season, they feature Chefs Bart Vandaele of Belga and Daniel O'Brien of Seasonal Pantry. In one of Bravo's latest episodes, they check in with Chef Spike Mendelsohn, who runs locals restaurants Good Stuff Eatery, We, The Pizza and the upcoming Bearnaise. For those who aren't familiar with the show, Spike is known for wearing dumb hats and threadbare T-shirts as part of his "style." As we enter Spike's abode, he says that the building is a former schoolhouse, which is appropriate because he "likes to play and school people." While they don't tell us exactly where the location is, I think it's in that up and coming neighborhood of "DudeBro Junction."
In the video, we are shown a mural in his living room and one of his favorite quotes has been painted on the wall. It's one from Albert Einstein that says, ""Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds." Except Mendelsohn can't even pronounce the work "mediocre." He says something that sounds like "Meaty Ocker", which could be the name of a dish at his overpriced, over-rated burger slophouse.
We then move into the bedroom where Spike shows us his padded headboard on his bed. He says this is because he "doesn't carry sex insurance." What a nice, enticing way to tell the ladies of Washington, D.C. that you are DTF and ready to give them a hot two minutes of action with your scrawny ass that's covered in burger grease and Chef-Boyardee-grade pizza sauce. Of course, that assumes that Spike spends time in his kitchens these days. Seems like he's more concerned with chasing down fresh street art, funky hats and publicity more than doing actual cooking.
Oh, but it gets better. The next stop is the bathroom. For those of you non-celebrity chef readers, this is the place where you go to force yourself to gag up the trash that he calls food in his restaurants. Spike shows us that he has his/hers sinks in the potty, but sadly, no one to share it with. After his description of his bedroom antics, I can't imagine WHY no sweet, young thing would want to share a dwelling with him. Also, his bathroom has a urinal in it, which is kind of cool.
Naturally the next stop is the kitchen. He says that since it's his dad's birthday, he has a chocolate cake. Take a look at that cake. That looks delicious. If your idea of delicious is roadkill. I'm sure it's tasty, but this guy is a professional chef. It looks like the inside of a dead animal.
At this point, I stopped the video. There's only so much "dude" I can take in one sitting. But, I'll leave you these words of wisdom that Spike has on a chalkboard that he says help give him "inspiration." The words that he is currently using are "Yum, Steak Time." Yum, steak time indeed, Spike.
Want to start the weekend on a terrible note? Watch the entire video…

Old trains' new life as hydrogen project gets set for take-off
PUBLISHED: 16:01 08 January 2019 | UPDATED: 10:19 09 January 2019
Some of the oldest trains on the Greater Anglia network are set to be rebuilt with revolutionary hydrogen power when they are replaced by new electric units over the next two years.
The British Rail-built Class 321 units – which entered service in 1988 – operate electric suburban services from London to Ipswich, Essex and Cambridgeshire.
They are due to be replaced by new Bombardier Aventra trains which are due to enter service at the end of this year and to be gradually introduced over the following two years.
Some have been updated with air conditioning, wi-fi and new seats – but all are due to be returned to leasing company Eversholt when the new trains arrive.
Now it has been announced that some of these trains will be converted into hydrogen trains by French-owned engineering company Alstom at its factory on Merseyside.
These will allow the trains to operate on non-electrified lines across the country using hydrogen power which creates only water as an exhaust.
Alstom has built hydrogen trains that have entered service in Germany, and further trains using this technology are planned for French railways and other European networks.
The new "Breeze" train project was unveiled by Alstom and Eversholt – and has won the backing of the government.
Rail minister Andrew Jones said: "Hydrogen train technology is an exciting innovation which has the potential to transform our railway, making journeys cleaner and greener by cutting CO2 emissions even further.
"We are working with industry to establish how hydrogen trains can play an important part in the future, delivering better services on rural and inter-urban routes."
The government has announced plans to phase out diesel-powered trains in the UK by 2040 – and hydrogen power is seen as a crucial to that ambition because only 42% of the network is electrified, much lower than that in most European countries.
It is not clear where the hydrogen trains are likely to operate when they first enter service in 2022 and they are not likely to return to East Anglia.
It is thought that Wales could be a likely destination for them because the Principality will have no electrified lines apart from the InterCity line between Cardiff and London.

Dodgy pathologists, police cover-ups, letting the police investigate themselves, the officer who hit him being off sick (still not named publicly either)… is something good going to come out of all this?
Oh, the Met says soz, btw.
Wow, that first pathologist, Dr Freddy Patel is obsessed with coronary heart disease as the cause of violent death.
Update from The Guardian on the second post-mortem:
Today the City of London Coroners Court released the following statement:
"On 9 April 2009 HM Coroner for the City of London opened and adjourned the inquest into the death of Ian Tomlinson. In so doing he received evidence of identification and the provisional findings and opinion as to the medical cause of death, from a report prepared by consultant forensic pathologist Dr F Patel, instructed by HM Coroner to conduct the post-mortem examination. The pathologist's final opinion must await the completion of additional tests.
"Dr F Patel made a number of findings of fact including descriptions of a number of injuries and of diseased organs including the heart and liver. He found a substantial amount of blood in the abdominal cavity. His provisional interpretation of his findings was that the cause of death was coronary artery disease.
"A subsequent post-mortem examination was conducted by another consultant forensic pathologist, Dr N Cary, instructed by the IPCC and by solicitors acting for the family of the late Mr Tomlinson.
"Dr Cary's opinion is that the cause of death was abdominal haemorrhage. The cause of the haemorrhage remains to be ascertained. Dr Cary accepts that there is evidence of coronary atherosclerosis but states that in his opinion its nature and extent is unlikely to have contributed to the cause of death.
Prepare for a baton in the stomach if you dare to protest about this awful, sad case…

Star Citizen Flies Past $39 Million Mark, New Goals Detailed
Even though Roberts Space Industries' Star Citizen Kickstarter campaign ended in November 2012, it has continued to generate money through crowd-funding through its own site. It was revealed that Star Citizen has surpassed the $39 million mark, in a blog post by developer Chris Roberts this weekend.
Star Citizen is a space trading and combat simulator that aims to allow players to participate in space combat battles and trading goods while in a massive persistent universe that players will be able to populate. Roberts Space Industries has already announced dozens of planets for Star Citizen, but the new financial milestone has allowed the company to add one more solar system, UDS-2943-01-22.
According to Star Citizen lore, the system was once thought to contain a single massive star, but there are actually three stars orbiting one another. The post goes on to state that a jump point to the system likely exists, but currently hasn't been explored by humans and the area remains a mystery.
"Beyond the bizarre stellar makeup, the composition of the system is all but unknown," Roberts wrote in the post. "Could planets exist in this carefully balanced web? What else might have been drawn there? One thing is certain: the first Citizen to travel to UDS-2943-01-22 will have one hell of a view!"
There are two more stretch goals behind the $39 million point listed on the Star Citizen website. The $40 million goal will add two more locations: the Kabal and Oretani systems. At the $41 million point, a procedural generation research and development team will be added to the project. Its task will be developing the technology for procedurally generated iterations of Star Citizen in the future.
A $42 million stretch goal is also set to be revealed in the future. We last heard from Star Citizen when the dogfighting module was delayed. Roberts also posted new artwork for the Javelin-class destroyer, which can be found in the gallery below.
Roberts hasn't announced a beta for Star Citizen at this point, but the developer is planning an Alpha before the end of 2014, and is projecting a wider release in 2015.
Our Take
Star Citizen's success with crowd-funding is impressive. Star Citizen has big promises to deliver on, but should it succeed, the player base that contributed those millions will likely give the game staying power. I'm glad something as ambitious as Star Citizen is getting some attention, and it is something I'll definitely have to keep a closer eye on as it nears completion.

This picture was from Mount Summit. Mount summit was an amazing experience and truly different from anything I have experienced before. The attire was business professional and this added to the whole experience and professional atmosphere at Mount Summit. The individual events that we signed up for ranged widely in content and choosing only two events was fairly difficult. However, I was pleased with the two I ended up choosing. The two events gave me great insight on myself and my fellow mounties as well as the issues they addressed. One of the best parts of Mount Summit was being paired with random second years and random post mounts. This allowed me to meet even more fellow mounties and connect with people who I was not familiar with before. Mount Summit allowed me to meet so many mounties outside of my class and enlighten me about social issues we all face. I am so thankful for this experience.

Mumbai: Stove explosion leads to fire in Chira Bazaar bldg
A fire broke out in the densely populated Chira Bazaar area in Girgaum late last night after a kerosene stove exploded in Mithaiwala building
A fire broke out in the densely populated Chira Bazaar area in Girgaum late last night after a kerosene stove exploded in Mithaiwala building. The stove explosion was followed by a cylinder explosion, which fuelled the blaze.
Eight fire engines were rushed to the spot and firemen were able to bring the flames under control in 45 minutes. Pic/Bipin Kokate
The fire was put out in 45 minutes and the fire brigade did not report any injuries. The incident took place at the four-storey building in the Gaiwadi area on Vighas Street. Sources said the fire had started around 10.15 pm, while fire officials confirmed that they received the call around 10.31 pm.
Residents told this paper that the fire started from an illegal dwelling on the terrace of the building, where a few labourers were cooking on a kerosene stove. When the stove exploded, the labourers made a run for their lives.
"As soon as they came out, another cylinder explosion followed. This caused the fire to spread further. The impact was such that the entire roof came crashing down," said one of the eyewitnesses.
Fire officials said the fire — listed as a priority two blaze — was attended to by eight fire engines and eight tankers, all sent from nearby fire brigade centres. The fire control room said no injuries had been reported, but one of the fire officials at the spot said that 4-5 people, including a woman, had sustained injuries.
Chief fire officer PS Rahangdale told mid-day, "I am overseeing the operation at the spot. The situation is under control now."

James Cameron confirmed that he is in talks to direct a 3D Cleopatra film starring Angelina Jolie. The "Avatar" and "Titanic" director told the New York Times that the project is in development at Sony. "It's a subject that's always fascinated me," Cameron said. "So yeah, I've been talking to them about it, but no decisions have been made." As for his possible leading lady, Cameron said Jolie would be perfect for the role. "It sounds hot, doesn't it? I mean, Angelina Jolie and Cleopatra? To me, that's like a slam dunk," he said. "Whether I wind up doing it or not, I think it's going to be a great project." Cameron also said he's not daunted by the failure of 1963's "Cleopatra," a notoriously troubled and costly production starring Elizabeth Taylor. "There were a lot of people betting against us on 'Titanic' as well. That kind of stuff isn't particularly daunting to me," he said. "The idea of 10-foot-tall blue people that were 100 percent CG, it was Smurf Planet, plenty of reasons why 'Avatar' wasn't going to work either."

Specialists at Rush offer personalized care for people with mycosis fungoides, Sézary syndrome or any other type of cutaneous T-cell or B-cell lymphoma.
Working as a team, dermatologists, hematologist/oncologists, radiation oncologists and specialized nurses design a treatment plan to fit each patient's needs, including one or more of the following:
- Antibodies and other immunotherapies, or drugs that prompt your immune system to fight cancer
- Chemotherapy, or cancer-fighting drugs.
- Extracorporeal photopheresis (also known as ECP), during which a machine painlessly draws some of your blood through an IV and treats your white blood cells before returning your blood to your body.
- Drugs applied directly to your skin, such as corticosteroids.
- Narrowband UVB light therapy, or light waves that can treat skin conditions
- Photodynamic therapy, during which doctors combine a laser and a drug to kill cancer cells.
- Radiation therapy, which doctors can use to target specific tumors or to treat cancer that has spread
In addition to caring for patients, experts at Rush continuously research new cutaneous T-cell lymphoma treatments. That means they can offer new options through clinical trials.
They also offer access to a range of services through the Cancer Integrative Medicine Program. These include acupuncture, massage, nutritional counseling and other therapies that can help reduce your stress and improve your quality of life.
One-on-one extracorporeal photopheresis care
Extracorporeal photopheresis is one of the most effective treatments for many people with advanced cutaneous T-cell lymphomas. It may also help people with graft-versus-host disease.
Rush is one of a handful of hospitals across the United States that offer this treatment. And it's one of an even smaller number that offer one-on-one nursing care for those who need this painless but complex procedure.
During the procedure, you lie or sit for a few hours while a machine processes and treats your blood. At many other hospitals, one nurse might care for multiple patients having the procedure at the same time. At Rush, you'll have your nurse's undivided attention, which helps ensure your comfort and the quality of your care.

HOUSING | Adrianne Todman, the head of the D.C. Housing Authority, cited some staggering figures at a D.C. Council hearing yesterday. According to her, it would take an additional $1.3 billion in DCHA funding to modernize the city's current public housing supply, and $2.3 billion to build sufficient units to house the 71,000 people on the city's public housing waiting list (CP, 2/19):
[…] Todman laid much of the blame for her agency's funding shortfall at the feet of the federal government, which has reduced DCHA funding substantially in recent years. "Unfortunately, our national leaders do not appear to appreciate this form of affordable housing and continue to underfund it," she said.
HOMELESSNESS | In response to the increase in the number of families in shelters this winter, Mayor Gray is asking the D.C. Council for the power to allow the city to determine whether families have some place else they can stay (WaPo 2/19):
A draft of Gray's proposal…would fundamentally alter a District law that grants any resident a "right to shelter" on nights when the temperature drops below freezing and the city declares a hypothermia alert.
Under Gray's plan, families would be given shelter on a provisional basis, but caseworkers would immediately begin to determine whether they have other housing prospects, including sleeping on the couches or floors of relatives or friends. The city would have to make a decision within 14 days.
Those who have such options would be required to leave city-funded rooms within 24 hours, even if the temperature remains below freezing.

According to new research, drinking coffee increases your lifespan by nine minutes PER DAY
All parents will know, you really don't need an excuse for pouring yourself your third coffee of the day, but according to the latest studies, it's actually a good thing!
With Brits consuming 55 million cups of coffee per day, we obviously know a thing or two about our skinny lattes and flat whites, but according to new research by University of Cambridge, drinking a cup of coffee a day actually extends your life span.
The study says that a cup of coffee a day expands the average woman's life by one month, and the average man's life by approximately three months.
Those who had just one cup a day lowered their risk of dying early by 12% over a period of 16 years, while this increased to 18% for those who drank three cups a day.
But why? According to studies by Imperial College London and University of Southern California, it's the antioxidants in coffee that improve liver function and the phenolic compounds that help ward off cancer.
Whilst you'll still need to eat healthily and not rely on coffee alone, the study ran over 16 years, looking a half a million people aged 35 or over across Europe and concluded that consuming coffee is, in fact, beneficial to your health.
Excuse us whilst we head off to Pret…

Our School
We are a relatively small school with approximately 640 pupils on roll. The school occupies an attractive site close to the centre of the small market town of Caistor.
School buildings help to form two sides of a close around the ancient Parish Church. The ironstone School Hall dates from 1631 and is still in daily use. The School Library alongside is housed in what was the Congregational Church built in 1842. Casterby House, once a large private house and now our Sixth Form Centre, overlooks the churchyard from the far side of the school gates.
Our main teaching block dates from the 1930s but was extended and modernised in 1984. This work gave us good provision for science teaching. The building also contains our classics and geography rooms. The Manning Building was opened in 1984. It provides teaching rooms for PE and modern languages and history and contains a large gymnasium. It has recently been enlarged to provide extra classrooms and a state of the art fitness suite and allows us to suite our on site sports facilities. Two new Technology Buildings were added in 1993 and 1994.
These contain rooms for design and technology, specialist rooms for information and communication technology and a fifth science laboratory. We now have student computers throughout the school linked on the same network, with six rooms having between 16 and 32 computers available for student use in each room.
There is a fine view from the top of the Terraces, in which further recreational space has been recently added. We possess extensive playing fields at nearby Navigation Lane, providing facilities for a number of sports including hockey, cricket, football, netball, tennis and athletics. Significant improvements have been made to our sporting facilities as a result of support from parents, our successful bid to become a Sports College and grants from the Football Foundation. These include the completion of a new changing Pavilion opened by Sir Trevor Brooking and the recent completion of an all weather pitch, opened by Steven Grainger, Chief Executive of the Youth Sports Trust.
At the bottom of the Terraces Lindsey House, the former boarding house, includes a suite of English and Mathematics rooms. This extensive and ambitious re-development was officially opened by Lord Puttnam of Queensgate in November 2001. The Music Department has been redecorated and occupies a suite of rooms on the ground floor and our Art department uses creatively re-modelled accommodation on the ground and first floors.
Lindsey House also contains the Dining Room which all pupils use at lunchtime. A lower entrance to the School serves Lindsey House. Next to the gates stands Beech House, where our Site Manager lives.
We are striving to extend and improve our accommodation with laboratory refurbishment and a new music room particular priorities.
History of Our School
Caistor Grammar School is an endowed Foundation dating from the reign of Charles I. The dissolution of the monasteries in the reign of Henry VIII had destroyed the principal sources of education of the times, and the numerous schools endowed throughout England during the following reigns are evidence that public-spirited men recognised the need created and endeavoured to meet it. Among others was Francis Rawlinson, of South Kelsey, who died in 1630 bequeathing money to endow a school at Caistor, and William Hansard of Biscathorpe, who supplemented the original gift in 1634. The moneys given were invested in the purchase of land at Cumberworth, and of the rectorial tithes of Bilsby of which the Governors are still lay impropriators. The original trustees were Sir Edward Asycough, of South Kelsey, Sir William Pelham, of Brocklesby, and Sir Christopher Wray, of Glenworth; other trustees shouldered their responsibilities from time to time until 1885 when, under the Endowed Schools Act, the foundation was placed under and elective body of Governors, the Vicar of Caistor being an ex-officio member. In 1908 the school was recognised by the Board of Education.

Noddy and Berg's ears
Question - what is the link between Alban Berg and Enid Blyton?
Answer - the result seen above, which is returned when you search for the terms 'Alban Berg Enid Blyton' on amazon.co.uk

There is more to this than meets the eye. Try searching the terms 'Shostakovich Enid Blyton into amazon.co.uk

Dear Pliable,
I'm sure that someone as well read as yourself would be familiar with Berg's connection with the Teddy Bear:
Alban's brother Hermann was the co-inventor, and no doubt Alban was sponsored by sales of teddies.
So, who needs Enid?
- 8:21 pm
- Pliable said...
Thanks Michael, I kind of had a hunch where this path would go...
Actually the explanation is a little more mundane. I was professionally involved in bibliographic meta data a few years ago. A few minutes on amazon confirms that the Aussie Book Store has managed to upload their entire stock database onto Amazon as a reseller, with every author field completed as Enid Blyton.

Recreational drug use (radiological manifestations)
Radiological manifestations of recreational drug use are not infrequently seen as the use of recreational drugs is widespread.
Interestingly, recent reports have suggested a decreasing incidence of reported drug use in the general population over the past decade, but it remains that ~36% of the United Kingdom population between 16 and 59 years of age report having taken a recreational drug at some point, 8.2% in the past 12 months 1. However the number of newly formulated recreational drugs, such as novel derivatives of cathinones, is growing, and therefore global epidemiological studies of drug use may underestimate the phenomenon.
There are many possible complications and medical conditions that may be associated with drug use 2. Few of them are specific for or highly associated with particular drugs and have radiological manifestations that may be recognized, or where drug use forms part of the differential.
Conditions include 1,2:
- general
- neurologic
- hepatopancreaticobiliary
- oncologic
- head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (oral cavity, pharynx, larynx)
- esophageal squamous cell carcinoma
- hepatocellular carcinoma
- musculoskeletal
- obstetric
- cardiac
- cocaine
- heroin
- white matter changes, leukoencephalopathy
- ketamine
- marijuana/cannabis
- methamphetamine
- vaping

Fusion-IR is the future of convolution reverb.
Introducing Fusion-IR
This revolutionary new processing technique captures the evolving character of time-varying reverbs using multiple true-stereo reverb streams that are processed simultaneously. The inputs to the convolution streams are modulated and the outputs fused into a rich, captivating space that mixes effortlessly with your music.
Fusion-IRs contain separately sampled early and late reverb components for a level of mix control never before found in convolution reverbs or sample packs.
We provide sets of Fusion-IR expansion packs for LiquidSonics Reverberate 2 and Slate Digital VerbSuite Classics. The Fusion-IRs within Seventh Heaven and Seventh Heaven Professional further develop the concept by incorporating multiple variants of a preset so that many more dimensions of a reverb device can be reproduced.

The coveted email address. Brands work so hard to collect them. Consumers work so hard not to give them up. They just want their email inbox at zero.
For that reason, brands try a variety of tactics to build their databases. We test opt-in forms; ask at the point of sale; and give away free things. Just to get that email address.
And then what?
All too often, we miss the boat by sending out a very bland welcome, or none at all, and our new subscribers get thrown in to the massive list, only to get blasted with monthly newsletters.
Hopefully, I'm wrong. Hopefully, you are segmenting your list, and sending out valuable and targeted information.
But are you giving your welcome email the attention it deserves?
Last week, I signed up for Happier, a social app that allows you to share your happy moments. And here is the welcome I received:
There are six reasons I love this email.
1. It's personal. I know it's an automated email, but it feels like it was written to me. It has a personal tone and language, and is signed by a person - Nataly.
2. It tells the brand story. In one sentence, they tell me why they exist. They don't talk about features. They talk about their reason for being, tie it in to the backstory, and back it up with scientific research that proves why they are going to make my life better. Wow.
3. They open the lines of communication. They thank me for joining, and offer ways to reach them with feedback.
4. It is simple and to the point. Give us information in small snacks. This email might be on the long side, but I found myself reading it all because they do a great job telling an important story. The briefer the better. Don't include more than one or two takeaways. If you have more to say, do it in a drip campaign.
5. Reinforces how smart they were to opt in. Your audience is busy, and distracted, and let's face it, a little spacey. Sometimes they forget who you are or that they even gave you an email. This is a great time to reinforce how smart they were to do so and how you are going to make their lives better.
6. Gives a next step. (Also known as the call to action.) Be sure and let your readers know what they should do next. In this case, Happier was very creative and sends us to this link, that is unexpected and entertaining, and then sends us to the app to make our next update.
Want to create great email campaigns? iContact Pro Select is all you need!
While I LOVED this, it's not for every brand, and the execution is tricky. Don't try to be cute for the sake of being cute. This works because it ties in exactly with their brand story of making me a happier person. Adding a little delightful surprise in your emails has to come naturally. If you're sitting around a table wondering what you can do to add something funny, or entertaining, you will come across as trying too hard. Regardless, always do something in your emails to encourage your readers to take a next step.
Remember, clicking that unsubscribe link and/or delete button is far easier than reading your email. Roll out the red carpet for your new subscribers and make it worth their while by writing welcome emails that thank them, let them know what to expect, and set the tone of engagement moving forward with a call to action and next steps.
What does your welcome email say? Can you make it better?
And click on this link! It really will make you smile.

Addition of new attractions fuels Williams' growth as a northern Arizona tourist destination
WILLIAMS, Ariz., March 23, 2017 — For more than a century, the tiny town of Williams has always been a popular overnight stop for tourists, given its proximity to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon.
Williams is also home of the historic Grand Canyon Railroad, which first started taking tourists to visit the South Rim in 1901, including such notable passengers as Theodore Roosevelt and John Muir. But Williams has seen even more tourism with the opening of Bearizona, a drive through wildlife park that opened in 2010. The park features black bears, goats, Dall sheep, elk, as well as arctic and tundra wolves. A jaguar exhibit opened last year.
These attractions, combined with other smaller attractions such as the Williams Train Depot and the Grand Canyon Deer Farm, are strong enough draws that they encourage people to spend more nights in Williams than was previously the case.
All of this is good news for campgrounds in the Williams area as well as other tourist oriented businesses.
"Bearizona really kicked up tourism, making Williams more of a destination," said Clint Bell, whose family owns and operates the Grand Canyon KOA campground in Williams.
In fact, the Bell family also acquired the Circle Pines KOA in Williams from another family seven months ago, based on their confidence in the continued growth of the Williams economy with the draw of the Grand Canyon Railroad and Bearizona.
But while the Grand Canyon KOA has been open year round since 2010, the Circle Pines KOA has not. That's changing this year, however, as the Bell family plans to keep both campgrounds open year round in response to the growth in visitors to the Williams area.
"There are a lot of people who like to see the Grand Canyon in the wintertime," Bell said, adding that the Grand Canyon Railroad has also launched a Polar Express ride during the winter months, which is drawing more tourists to Williams during the coldest months.
Meanwhile, the Grand Canyon itself is also seeing a dramatic increase in tourism, which is drawing more tourists into Williams and other gateway communities to the national park. More than 6 million tourists visited the Grand Canyon last year, up from 5.5 million in 2015, according to National Park Service statistics.
Bell said the Williams / Grand Canyon KOA, which is located along State Route 64, caters to overnight travelers, while the Circle Pines KOA, located along Interstate 40, has more on site amenities and is designed to accommodate guests who would like to spend several days exploring attractions in Williams as well as the South Rim of the Grand Canyon.
The difference in the KOA campgrounds is in the amenities. Both parks offer RV and tent sites and rental accommodations, as well as bike rentals, mining sluices, cable TV, a snack bar and breakfasts between Memorial Day and Labor Day. However, the Circle Pines KOA also offers dinner as well as an 18-hole mini golf course, a Go Kart track, a paved bike bath and ATV trails, an indoor swimming pool, hot tub and sauna, a dog park, big screen movie nights, weekend craft activities and occasional Western entertainment during the summer season.
