N orway has drawn up plans to ration electricity exports in a move that has heightened fears of energy shortages in the UK and Europe this winter. The government in Oslo on Monday announced new rules limiting the sale of power to foreign countries as heatwaves threaten Norway’s hydroelectric power generation. Experts said the restrictions threatened the UK’s plan to draw power from Norway this winter via the North Sea Link - leaving electricity supplies more stretched and risking even higher bills for consumers. The National Grid has already revealed that the UK is set to be more dependent than ever on the Continent for power, with interconnectors expected to provide up to 5.7 gigawatts of electricity at peak times. About one quarter of that total – or 1.4 gigawatts – is set to come from Norway. Kathryn Porter, an energy consultant at Watt-Logic, said the proposed restrictions “put at risk the ability of Britain to import from Norway this winter”. “National Grid ESO needs to … [Read more...] about Norway threatens to ration electricity in fresh blow for UK and European energy supplies

As Lewis Hamilton clambered out of his Mercedes in Baku, a whole other side to the porpoising situation became very clear. Up to that point, it had been spoken about as a car performance issues. Some teams, such as Red Bull and Ferrari , had it handled fairly early, while others – notably Mercedes – continued to struggle the violent oscillations caused by the ground-effect aerodynamics reintroduced for Formula 1 cars this year. But the image of seven-time world champion Hamilton struggling to stand up straight, coupled with team-mate George Russell's revelation of back and chest pains, turned attention elsewhere. Performance is one thing, but the health and safety of the drivers was now very much in the spotlight. "I was not surprised, to be honest," said osteopath Gemma Fisher, when asked by Mirror Sport what her reaction was to those images. "With this sort of sport there is so much emphasis on the cars and the engineering, and people think the person operating … [Read more...] about Lewis Hamilton agony “doesn’t surprise” osteopath who reveals long-term porpoising damage

L’été 2018 restera dans les annales. Un peu partout en Europe, le thermomètre a atteint des sommets. Si ces chaleurs records ont rempli les plages du continent, dans les champs, les agriculteurs ont dû faire face à une situation dramatique dans bien des cas. De nombreuses exploitations ont été durement touchées par la sécheresse. Cette pénurie d’eau aura sans doute des incidences dans les mois à venir pour les exploitants, mais aussi pour les consommateurs. Sommes-nous à l'orée d'une crise à l'échelle européenne ? Au Royaume-Uni, les producteurs laitiers ont été les plus durement touchés. Certains ont dû se résoudre à envoyer des troupeaux entiers à l'abattage, n’ayant plus assez de fourrage pour nourrir leurs bêtes. Dans toute l’Europe, de nombreux agriculteurs ont dû ainsi se résoudre à puiser dans leurs réserves, normalement utilisées en hiver. Et dans certains cas, des exploitants ont dû attendre pratiquement un mois pour conduire leurs vaches à l’abattoir, comme nous l’a … [Read more...] about Sécheresse : une tragédie pour les agriculteurs européens

FOR MORE THAN 350 years, men have been going to Georges Bank, 150 miles out on the continental shelf east of Cape Cod, to fish for cod, haddock, yellowtail flounder, scallops, lobsters. They have decimated stocks more than once, but the fisheries are still there. Back in the early seventies, when catches were unsustainably high, the harvest was, acre-for-acre, the largest in the world. Now other men are heading out to Georges to hunt—through holes inches wide and miles deep—for oil and gas. There won’t be many men at first, perhaps a few hundred aboard a handful of exploratory rigs. But that is enough to signal the fact that along the great submerged thumb stretching from Nantucket Shoals toward Nova Scotia, competition for resources has begun in earnest. The conflict involves two resources in one place, both of importance to the modern world. Oil from Georges would reduce our dependence on foreign supplies, if only slightly. Fish—a resource capable of providing half our minimum … [Read more...] about Resources: Oil, Fish, and Georges Bank

L'estate 2018 ha fatto segnare temperature record in tutta Europa. Se molti hanno approfittato delle calde giornate per andare in spiaggia, gli agricoltori hanno dovuto affrontare una delle peggiori crisi produttive degli ultimi anni. Le conseguenze della siccità sulle aziende agricole: diecimila a rischio chiusura in Germania I caseifici sono stati i più colpiti dalla siccità nel Regno Unito, trovandosi obbligati a mandare diverse mandrie di mucche al macello perchè non c'era mangime a sufficienza. Gli arretrati al mattatoio hanno raggiunto le quattro settimane, ha detto a Euronews un agricoltore del nord-ovest del Regno Unito. Per mitigare le conseguenze economiche a livello locale, l'Unione Europea ha presentato la scorsa settimana delle nuove misure rispetto a quelle già annunciate a inizio agosto . Basterà? Euronews ne ha parlato con gli agricoltori europei. Quanto è grave la situazione? "Questa è probabilmente, per la maggior parte delle … [Read more...] about Come la siccità ha gettato gli agricoltori europei nella disperazione

Ann Shulgin, who has died aged 91, probably tried every available psychedelic drug; with her chemist husband Alexander (Sasha) Shulgin , who has been described as “the grandfather of ecstasy”, she was a pioneer in advocating the use of MDMA or ecstasy in a therapeutic context. “He was the scientist and I was the psychologist” was how she summarised their collaboration, both acting as guinea pigs. At the height of the 1990s explosion in “rave” culture, Ann Shulgin argued that MDMA and similar chemicals might counteract a lack of empathy and cohesion among those in their twenties and thirties. “Many young people who go to raves are from big cities and they grow up learning to be cautious, not to look strangers in the eye,” she said. “When young people go to a rave, it’s their first experience of being able to relax and expand boundaries, with ecstasy as a heart-opener.” MDMA or 3,4-methylenedioxy-N-methamphetamine, a stimulant with mild hallucinogenic properties which the Shulgins … [Read more...] about Ann Shulgin, pioneering researcher who with her husband Alexander explored the uses of psychedelic drugs – obituary
