Granting a new gasfield licence does not guarantee energy security Original
The UK government is deciding whether to approve a licence for Jackdaw gasfield, around 250km east of Aberdeen, in the North Sea. This is being presented by supporters as part of the answer to Britain’s energy-security problem. The UK government has argued that if Britain still needs gas, then producing it domestically is preferable to imports.
Empty North Sea oil fields could store enough green hydrogen to power the country for seven years Original
Every time Britain has a still, grey week in winter, something invisible happens behind our plug sockets: gas power stations fire up to keep the lights on. That gas is often imported, with prices set by volatile global markets. This is one reason why energy bills surged during the cost-of-living crisis, despite the low cost of available renewable energy. On very windy days, we have a different problem.
Improving spine-based age estimation in centrarchid fishes using otolith-derived training sets
1 INTRODUCTION The accurate determination of age represents a crucial component of fish and fisheries research. Because age data are used to inform growth, mortality, year-class strength and many other parameters important to fisheries science, error in age determination propagates to a variety of downstream demographic and ecological inferences (Robillard & Ellen Marsden, 1996).

SAFE is Not a Silver Bullet: What Canada Gains from Europe and Why the United States Still Matters
In Davos last month, Prime Minister Mark Carney declared a “rupture” in the global order. The speech capped off a whirlwind few weeks of deal-making from Carney, with stops in China where he announced a new Strategic Partnership with Beijing, and in Qatar, where he finalized a long-delayed investment deal. In a few weeks, Carney is expected to travel to India, pursuing more trade deals.

Robust Sensory Traits Across Light Habitats: Visual Signals but Not Receptors Vary in Centrarchids Inhabiting Distinct Photic Environments
1 Introduction The vast biodiversity in nature prompts questions about why some organisms diversify, while others do not, and which traits are more likely to evolve (Wilson 1992; Schluter 2000). Traits that exhibit substantial heritable phenotypic variation and contribute to reproductive success may evolve via natural selection in response to selective pressures (Fisher 1930; Endler 1986).

Without tariffs, the EU faces a flood of Chinese imports of the new three
Washington’s recent tariffs against Chinese products all but ensure a flood of these exports to Europe, necessitating a response from Brussels. The products include China’s “new three” cleantech exports—lithium-ion batteries, electric vehicles (EVs), and solar panels—posing undeniable dilemmas for Brussels as it balances security, economic, and climate interests.
Is exponential growth slowing down?
Year 2022 saw fuel cell shipments creep up over 2021 numbers, though the latter was a remarkable year. When 2021 exceeded 2020’s MW numbers by over 70%, we thought we were finally seeing the uptick that had been anticipated – the classic “hockey stick” pattern. But the structure of the industry – and its reliance on only a few players for the majority of shipments – means that growth comes in spurts.
Contender Open at Lee-on-the-Solent Sailing Club Original
Contender Open at Lee-on-the-Solent Sailing Club by Stuart Jones 17 Aug 12:42 BST I left home with the boat hitched on a beautiful, sunny 20-degree morning, sun lotion applied. I wasn't expecting this as the forecast was for wind and rain. They can be wrong but as I arrived at Lee I was met by people running across the boat park to get out of the heavy downpour. Mistakenly I thought they were coming to help me unload... So now cold, damp and rigged I surveyed the scene to find a good 5 to 6 blowing.

Upper limits for road salt pollution in lakes
Concentrations of road deicing salt are increasing in many inland waters. High salt concentrations can negatively impact aquatic organisms and ecosystems. Few frameworks exist for predicting how high road salt concentrations might become in lakes. We present a simple, generalizable model that predicts equilibrium road salt concentrations in lakes as a function of salt application rate, road density, and runoff.
Online Casino-Themed Video Games and Gamified Gambling
Anyone who plays modern slots in online casinos has noticed that the aesthetics in the new games are more cartoony. The same is true for the web design of an online casino. The animations often resemble video game characters, and even the cover image for slots tries to mimic a video game cover. Many gambling operators want to create a platform that will be appealing to both older and younger generations. This is why modern culture IPs are often used as a theme for casino games.

Preparing youth to be citizens of tomorrow
Gen Z has been receiving excessive attention for their ‘no nonsense’ attitude, where they speak up against passive ignorance towards varying social issues. They continue to prove the impact of standing up for their peers, voicing matters for those who can’t, and showing that this is how we progress together as a society. As young adults immerse themselves in real-life experiences and the day-to-day routines of the local communities, they start to feel first-hand gratitude for all they have.

Internally Routed Cable Rattle - aluminum open shell frame
Discussion Starter · #1 · 9 h ago Have an exposed gear cable rattle issue, in the open shell on the frame, which has a grommet/endcap one end, open on the other. I was wondering, if from new, the bike had some anti-vibration cable set-up, or is there an after-market product for this? I’ve looked at the tube liner, normally used on a frame sealed by a grommet/cable both ends, and the anti-vibration foam for cable sleeves.

Disinformation harms health and democracy
Fertile ground: Weird Covid and 5G theories have also taken hold in South Africa, perhaps not a surprise given that some leaders have expressed anti-vax opinions, and our history of Aids denialism. Here demonstrators are protesting a coronavirus vaccine trial at the Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital in Soweto. (Marco Longari/AFP) Within minutes, it was clear that things were even worse than I had thought.

Let's have a chat - Semi-sentient, voice-first, dynamic careers websites are coming! (Or not?) » #ChatTalent
If you’re reading this, you’re probably thinking something like: “What the hell is a semi-sentient, voice-first, dynamic careers website?” Bare with me… All will be explained below. First of all, I can’t take all the credit for the idea. This blog is the result of a collaborative effort that took place on 25th July, when Recruitd hosted the first in a series of ‘Hack Your…’ events: each of which gathers together the brightest minds in our industry to tackle a different recruitment topic.
Choosing the right pre-hire assessment tools for your organisation » #ChatTalent
For many employers and employees, the hiring process is going wrong. A staggering 29% of employees have at some point quit their jobs within the first few days. Research in Feb 2019, showed that 48% of people had left a job because the reality of it didn’t meet expectations. Is it possible that making it easier for people to apply enables people to do so mindlessly? Technology has made hiring simpler, but hiring the right people has never been harder.

Yutong – straight down the line - Bus & Coach Buyer
Yutong currently has two manufacturing sites in Zhengzhou, both massive and both modern. Construction of the first began in 1998 (replacing Yutong’s original plant from 1964) and the second, known as the ‘New Energy’ plant was built in 2012. Covering 1.19 million cubic metres and 1.28m cubic metres respectively, they have a combined capacity of 430 buses and coaches daily. Within each complex the roads have names and are served by regular electric bus services to get people around efficiently.
GT12 – a ‘world’ coach - Bus & Coach Buyer
Fifteen years ago few people outside China had heard of the Yutong brand and hardly anyone in the UK recognised its potential. Today, the company is among the biggest manufacturers of buses and coaches in the world producing a total of 67,268 units of all sizes in 2017, taking a 30% share of the Chinese market and an estimated 15% of the world market.
Mercedes-Benz Citaro Hybrid - Bus Euro Test 2018
Although an example has been unveiled and commercial production will begin next year, for a manufacturer with such long experience of alternative propulsion systems Mercedes-Benz has been surprisingly slow to embrace full electric technology in commercial bus offerings. With no production electric to offer, Daimler chose to send the latest version of the diesel Citaro to Zagreb, the Citaro Hybrid.
The Bus Euro Test takes three of the best buses on the road
With a field of four vehicles eventually reduced to three with the withdrawal of MAN’s Lions City at short notice, this year’s Bus Euro Test offered a mixed bag; two of the buses were electrics and one a diesel with light hybridisation. Maybe it’s a sign of the times that there were no diesels, but the trio before us were cutting-edge vehicles; the articulated Irizar ieTram; the 12m Heuliez GX337 Linium Elec; and the Mercedes-Benz Citaro Hybrid.
eCitaro and Sprinter citybus for UK
Daimler unveiled its electric Citaro prototype earlier this year (B&CB Issue 1471, 16 March) but, in advance of the IAA exhibition, revealed how it will look inside and out, and set out what the next driveline development stages are.
Electric avenue - Bus & Coach Buyer
Europe’s cities are moving to electric power. They are going at different paces in different places, but the impetus is to electromobility. The Netherlands isn’t a huge country – you can drive a coach from one end to the other in three hours – but it is committed to all of the electricity it uses being 100% renewable by 2026. That means no more new diesel bus deliveries from 2026 and going completely electric in its cities by 2030.
Futura 2 – now cheaper to run - Bus & Coach Buyer
VDL has announced a major upgrade of the Futura 2 family with a new driveline, reduced weight and the promise of a reduced total cost of ownership (TCO). Launched in 2010 in left-hand drive, and in early 2012 in right-hand drive, the Futura 2 family had a hard act to follow – few coach designs stay in production for 31 years as did the Futura Classic.
