The difference between a hypertonic vs. hypotonic vs. isotonic solution is around concentration. A hypotonic solution is less concentrated than the cell, a hypertonic solution is more concentrated than the cell, and isotonic is balanced between the cell and outside solution.
Our cells are surrounded by a semi-permeable membrane that allows certain things to move in and out. This is a very selective barrier and plays an important role in osmosis and tonicity, which includes hypertonicity, hypotonicity, and isotonicity.
In biological systems, osmosis is the movement of water across the semi-permeable membrane of our cells. This movement occurs because the concentration of solutes inside of the cells wants to be the same concentration as the solutes outside of the cell. Since the cellular membrane is not permeable to many of these solutes, only small molecules like water are capable of passing through.
This means that water moves between the exterior and interior of the cells to balance the concentration of solutes instead of the solutes doing it. Osmosis is then related to tonicity, which measures the ability of the exterior solution to force water into or out of the cell so that a balanced level can be reached. Tonicity uses the concentration of molecules as a measurement.
This is an important function of our bodies because it is the main way that water is supplied to our cells and remain healthy and functional. It is also important for the structural integrity of the cells because regulated water levels support the cellular stability and prevent it from bursting or collapsing.
A hypertonic system occurs when the exterior solution contains a higher concentration of particles and the interior solution of the cell contains a lower concentration. This forces water to exit the cell into the exterior because it wants to dilute the exterior solution. This dilution will result in a lowered concentration on the outside, which would be closer to the concentration on the inside.
This movement of water from cell to outside results in the cell shrinking. Red blood cells will shrink and become distorted if too much water is removed from it. This collapse of structure diminishes the red blood cells ability to function.
Without watering, plants will wilt and become distorted because water is moving out of the cells and causing a loss in turgor pressure, which is the plant's internal pressure it uses to push against the cell wall and maintain its shape. When the get water again, they eventually restore that pressure and shape.
Species of saltwater fish all experience a hypertonic situation because the surrounding saltwater has a very concentrated solution relative to the interior of the fish and its cells. This means that the fish had to develop a means to deal with this problem. Their solution to simply drink a lot of saltwater and continuously remove the extra salt rather than the water.
A hypotonic system is the exact opposite of a hypertonic system. In a hypotonic system, the concentration of solutes is higher on the inside of the cell relative to the exterior, which has a lower concentration. This forces water to enter the cell to dilute the interior. Again, this is meant to bring the concentration levels to a similar level and achieve balance.
As the water moves into the cells, it increases the internal pressures and causes the cell to swell up. If they become too swollen, the cells have the potential to burst. This can also be a good thing for some organisms.
As hypertonicity leads to lowered turgor pressure in plants, it is a bad thing. But, hypotonicity leads to higher turgor pressure and this is good for young plants. As plants grow, they promote processes that increase the turgor pressure because it pushes against the cell walls and facilitate the expansion of the plant cells so that they can continue to grow.
A rare, but occurring, consequence of hypotonicity is water overdose because there is such a thing as too much water. If we consume more water than what our cells can need and our kidneys can process, we risk creating an imbalance.
If we drink too much water, the exterior salt solution of our blood becomes so diluted that water rushes into the blood cells and cause them to swell up. When this swelling occurs in the brain, it requires immediate attention because it can be dangerous and fatal.
Symptoms are similar to exhaustion and a heatstroke. They include feeling hot, headaches, malaise, and potentially vomiting. This is more prevalent in babies than adults because their small bodies cannot handle a lot of water like adults can. It is generally recommended that they stick to milk and formula rather than water to prevent this.
In adults, we generally must make sure that our pee is not too white, indicating too much water, or too dark, indicating too little water.
Osmosis and tonicity focus on bringing the cells to a balance of concentration between the interior and the exterior. When that balance occurs, the system is not isotonic. Water is moving into the cell at the same rate that it is moving out so there is a zero net movement of water.
This balance creates a stable shape for the cells and is generally the preferred state for most biological cells. Our red blood cells prefer this state over the other two to prevent loss of function.
Because these things are occurring in biological systems, they are relative terms that are constantly shifting and changing as we consume water or do not, as permeable solutes (like salts) move into and out of the cells, and as any other factor changes these concentrations.
Unlike our cells, plant cells like to be in a hypotonic state rather than an isotonic state because it increases the turgor pressure and keeps the cells in a more rigid and stronger shape.

The Curious Case of Jasper County, the Place Where Everyone Is Sleep Deprived
By Jon Levine
OK, not everyone, but a lot of people.
A new study in the journal Sleep Health found that more than roughly 78 out of 100 residents in the east Texas county reported not sleeping well on at least 15 of the previous 30 days. The findings give Jasper the dubious distinction of being the most sleep-deprived place in the country. Its nearest rivals for the honor, Freestone County and Kleberg County, also in Texas, came in a distant tie for second with 67 out of 100 reporting poor sleep.
So what's the deal?
There's really not much to say about Jasper. The county was founded in 1836, when Texas declared independence. The largest city — also called Jasper — sits about 115 miles northeast of Houston and according to the state's historical society, takes its name from the Revolutionary War hero William Jasper. Historically, its largest industry has been timber.
Why Jasper, a picturesque but otherwise unremarkable slice of middle America, seemed to be full of insomniacs was mysterious, even to researchers.
"I've never been there, so I can't tell you." Michael Grandner, a study researcher and member of the University of Pennsylvania's Center for Sleep and Circadian Neurobiology, told Mic.
United States census data for the county yielded some clues. The county's median household income is $40,417, about 20% lower than the state and national average. At the same time, its unemployment rate of 7.2% also runs above the national figure of 5.1%. Both unemployment and low-income environments have been correlated with poor sleep habits.
Still, Jasper is far from the most impoverished county in America. (That honor belongs to McCreary County, Kentucky, where only 38% of residents polled reported poor sleep.) Mic spoke to a number of local residents in the county, who were largely incredulous.
"Personally, no I do not [sleep well], said Debbie Williams, director of nurses in Jasper's Rayburn Health Care & Rehabilitation. "I have a very stressful job; I'm on call 24/7." Williams, however, said she didn't believe the study's conclusions. "My husband sleeps fine, my children they all sleep well."
Mic/Getty Images
Another woman, an entrepreneur her late 50s and owner of a computer repair store in Jasper, had a similar answer. "I just don't sleep very well at night," she told Mic. "I have to get up several times." Echoing Williams to a tee, she too said her family typically had no issues.
So what is going on in Jasper?! It's impossible to say for sure, but the answer may fall somewhere short of revelatory and closer to the arena of simple statistical error. "Some of the data comes from counties that are not heavily populated," said researcher Michael Grandner. "Because of this, some of the estimates from these counties may have a wide margin of error."
Indeed, despite the top three most sleep-deprived counties all being in the Lone Star state, the study authors concluded that the largest aggregate concentrations of deprivation were actually in parts of Appalachia, particularly around the areas of Kentucky, Virginia, West Virginia and Tennessee.
"Some of the estimates from these counties may have a wide margin of error."
A closer look at the findings also reveals some evidence that the data is not as robust as it may first appear. For starters, researchers culled information from the Centers for Disease Control's 2009 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, which, while likely rigorously gathered, is now six years old.
More glaring still is that, despite interviewing 432,000 people, the data was unable to collect enough information to account for dozens of different counties, covering vast tracts of the Midwest but also spots as diverse as New York's Hamilton County, California's Sierra County and even Jasper's northern neighbor, San Augustine County.
"It may be an outlier or an anomaly," said Grandner. "This is why this sort of work needs to be replicated."

Mumbai (PTI) Akshay Kumar on Monday said in his close to three-decade-long career, action has been one of the biggest reasons for his consistency in Bollywood.
The 51-year-old actor, who started his career in 1991 with "Saugandh", went to on to become one of the biggest action stars in the Hindi film industry courtesy his performance in "Khiladi" series — "Khiladi", "Main Khiladi Tu Anari", "Sabse Bada Khiladi", "Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi, "International Khiladi", "Khiladi 420" and "Khiladi 786".
Akshay is currently filming director Rohit Shetty's next venture "Sooryavanshi", the fourth film in the filmmaker's cop universe.
"From the day acting became my destiny, action has been my lifeline. Pure, unadulterated action in #Sooryavanshi will tell you'll why it still fires up my core," he wrote on Instagram alongside a set video of him performing some tough stunts.
"Sooryavanshi" also reunites Akshay with his longtime collaborator Katrina Kaif after a gap of nine years.
The movie is scheduled to be released on March 27 next year.

Die Waterloo & City Line ist die kürzeste U-Bahn-Linie der London Underground. Sie wurde offiziell am 8. August 1898 eröffnet. Die Linie hat nur zwei Stationen: Waterloo und Bank (bis 1940 City genannt, daher der Name der Linie). Die Linie ist 2,4 Kilometer lang und unterquert die Themse, die Fahrzeit beträgt vier Minuten. Die Hauptaufgabe der Linie ist die Beförderung von Berufspendlern zwischen dem Bahnhof Waterloo und dem Finanzdistrikt in der City of London. Sie verkehrt nur montags bis freitags von 06:00 Uhr bis 00:30 Uhr.

Geschichte

Nachdem die Planungen dieser und vier weiterer Linien vom Parlament genehmigt wurden, konnte der Bau der Strecke beginnen. Als erste Linie der Underground wurde hierbei der von der Regierung vorgeschriebene Röhrendurchmesser von 3,5 Metern gebaut. Nach etwa vier Jahren Bauzeit konnte die Linie 1898 eröffnet werden. Als Rollmaterial wurden zunächst Züge des amerikanischen Herstellers Jackson & Sharp verwendet.

Die von Ingenieur James Henry Greathead geplante Strecke gehörte ursprünglich einer Tochtergesellschaft der London and South Western Railway, welche 1907 in die Dachgesellschaft eingegliedert wurde, ab 1923 der Southern Railway. Sie wurde 1948 zusammen mit den übrigen Eisenbahngesellschaften verstaatlicht. Der Betrieb erfolgte als Ergänzung zu den Haupteisenbahnlinien im Bahnhof Waterloo. Ursprünglich hätte der auf der Südseite der Themse gelegene Bahnhof Waterloo nur eine Zwischenstation sein sollen, doch 1846 verbot die Regierung oberirdische Strecken durch das Stadtzentrum. Das Tarifsystem war vollständig in das nationale Eisenbahnnetz integriert und es war somit möglich, direkte Fahrscheine bis nach Bank (bzw. früher "City") zu kaufen.

1994 wurde die Waterloo & City Line für einen symbolischen Kaufpreis von einem Pfund von British Rail übernommen und in das System von London Underground überführt. Im Januar 2003 wurde die Linie für etwas mehr als drei Wochen geschlossen, um sie auf den neuesten Sicherheitsstand zu bringen. Im selben Jahr übernahm das Metronet-Konsortium im Rahmen eines Public-Private-Partnership-Programms den Unterhalt der Strecke und der Anlagen bis nach dessen Konkurs 2008.

Aufgrund der COVID-19-Pandemie in Großbritannien war die Waterloo & City Line vom 20. März 2020 bis 7. Juni 2021 außer Betrieb.

Besonderheiten

Die Waterloo & City Line wird umgangssprachlich The Drain (Kanalisationsrohr) genannt. Gründe dafür sind einerseits der Geruch des sumpfigen Bodens, auf dem der Bahnhof Waterloo errichtet wurde sowie andererseits vor allem die röhrenartige Form des Tunnels. Manche Menschen meinen, dass die Darstellung der Linie auf dem U-Bahn-Liniennetzplan sie eher an ein Abflussrohr erinnern würde, das die City entwässert.

Die Waterloo & City Line verläuft auf ihrer gesamten Länge in einem einzigen Röhrentunnel. Dies verursacht Probleme beim Überführen der Züge in die Betriebswerkstatt. Vor dem Bau des Eurostar-Terminals "Waterloo International" im Jahr 1990 wurden die Züge einzeln mit einem speziellen Aufzug an der Nordseite des Bahnhofs an die Oberfläche befördert. Heute werden die Züge bei Bedarf mit einem Mobilkran durch einen Schacht neben der Betriebswerkstatt aus dem Tunnel gehoben.

Wegen der Betriebspause an Wochenenden entwickelte sich die Linie zu einem beliebten Drehort für Filme, z. B. Sliding Doors (1998, mit Gwyneth Paltrow in der Hauptrolle) oder die TV-Adaption von Die dreibeinigen Herrscher (1984).

Stationen

 Bank – eröffnet am 8. August 1898 als City, umbenannt in Bank am 28. Oktober 1940
 Waterloo – eröffnet am 8. August 1898

Mögliche Zwischenstation

 Blackfriars – die Waterloo & City Line führt unter dem Bahnhof Blackfriars hindurch, in den 1980er Jahren kamen Vorschläge für den Bau einer Zwischenstation dort auf, jedoch sah das Department for Transport keinen verkehrstechnischen Vorteil.

What is an Unintentional Tort?
Unintentional Torts and Intentional Torts: What's the Difference?
What are Unintentional Torts? In the simplest terms, a tort is a wrong, a civil breach of one's legal duty that causes injury or harm to another. There is only one exception. A tort cannot arise from a breach of contract or similar agreement. A person guilty of an intentional tort commits a wrong to deliberately cause harm or injury. Conversely, the actions of a person guilty of an unintentional tort are those that were done inadvertently and without ill intent. In most cases, an unintentional tort is the result of a negligent act. Both types of torts are litigated in civil proceedings and for monetary damages.
Assault and battery, false imprisonment, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and unfair competition are but a handful of examples of intentional torts. In each case, the offender intended to cause harm. The awards for damages for intentional torts tend to be more generous than those for unintentional torts.
What Are Unintentional Torts?
Most unintentional torts are negligent acts, and the most common personal injury lawsuits are based on claims of negligence.
In order for a claim to constitute negligence, it must meet certain basic requirements. The first is that the defendant had an obligation to a certain duty of care in her interactions with the plaintiff. Second is that the defendant breached that care. The third is that the defendant caused the plaintiff loss. The plaintiff must also demonstrate that the defendant should have reasonably forseen that her actions would have caused harm and that the harm caused a real and compensable injury.
When you contact the Houston personal injury lawyers at Universal Law Group about a negligence lawsuit, we'll determine if your case meets those all-important criteria, and we'll fight for you to get full restitution.
Common Unintentional Torts
Criminal complaints require that the plaintiff prove the defendant is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Under tort law, however, a plaintiff must prove a preponderance of the evidence. This lower standard means the plaintiff must persuade the court that there is a better than 50 percent chance that the claims he makes are true. No matter what the individual details of your case may involve, having the experienced Houston personal injury lawyers from Universal Law Group make the needed persuasive arguments on your behalf can make a huge difference in court.
It is not uncommon for accidents to happen when drivers make improper turns or follow the vehicle ahead of them too closely. Distracted driving can also lead to accidents. Additionally, under dram shop laws, an establishment that overserves alcohol to a person who later gets in an alcohol-related accident may also be sued for negligence. A vehicle repair shop that does a shoddy job installing a set of brakes may be found negligent if the new brakes fail and cause an accident.
We've all seen those yellow, cautionary "wet floor" signs in businesses indicating that something has recently been mopped up. Business owners provide these signs to give their customers reasonable warning that the floor may still be wet and slippery. While putting up a sign is the responsible thing to do, it may not completely absolve a business of liability. Having experienced, Houston personal injury lawyers from Universal Law Group in your corner can make a difference in your civil case.
Botched medical procedures or failure to provide a timely diagnosis that result in harm or even death to a patient are only two examples of common medical malpractice lawsuits. Malpractice claims can be challenging and can run up against the statute of limitations. Our Houston personal injury lawyers can guide and advise you on the best course of action.
Houston Personal Injury Lawyers and Legal Advice
Not every case is black and white. That's why it's important to have knowledgeable and experienced Houston personal injury lawyers from Universal Law Group in your corner. If you believe you have a negligence claim, contact Universal Law Group for a consultation. We'll provide you with the sound legal advice and solid representation you deserve.

Reviewing the exisiting literature in the area of entrepreneurship strategy, this book explores the thinking of six strategic management scholars. Each chapter outlines the approach of each theorist, with an emphasis on the way entrepreneurial action fits into their model. The first and last chapters provide a context to fit these disparate ideas together.
". . . the book is well worth reading, primarily by strategists considering how to make their existing research and teaching more entrepreneurial and therefore more useful in these changing times."

Manuel Ignacio Galíndez Zabala (Bilbao, 8 de junio de 1892-Madrid, 29 de mayo de 1980) fue un arquitecto español. Se considera un precursor de la arquitectura racionalista y modernista. Desarrolla su trabajo en su ciudad natal con obras como La Equitativa en la Alameda de Mazarredo (1934) y en Madrid  con el edificio del Banco de Vizcaya en la calle de Alcalá.

Trayectoria
Se licenció en la Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura de Madrid en 1918. Fue contemporáneo y compañero de Luis Blanco Soler y Fernando Arzadun Ibarraran.

Durante sus años de formación, compagina sus estudios con la práctica del fútbol, entonces un deporte no profesional, jugando en el Athletic de Madrid durante dos temporadas.

En su carrera profesional de arquitecto proyectó y construyó edificios para instituciones bancarias como el Edificio del Banco de Vizcaya en Madrid, para aseguradoras como el Edificio La Equitativa en Bilbao, ejemplos de las dos ciudades que tienen una buena representación de su obra construida. Estas obras reflejan las influencias de arquitectos que transitaban en el entorno de las arts and crafts como Edwin Lutyens, de la secesión vienesa como Jože Plečnik y Otto Wagner, por ejemplo en el Edificio del Banco de Vizcaya de Madrid, y en obras posteriores como el Edificio de la Aurora de Bilbao las influencias del edificio Looshaus de Adolf Loos.

La obra de Galíndez ha sido estudiada en numerosos artículos de investigación y libros, tanto de forma global en el trabajo del arquitecto como de forma individualizada estudiando cada uno de sus edificios, especialmente el edificio del banco de Vizcaya y el Aurora de Bilbao. Su obra es reivindicada también en actividades de difusión, conferencias y exposiciones como la desarrollada desde el 27 de enero al 17 de febrero en la sala Fernando García Mercadal de la sede del Colegio Oficial de Arquitectos de Madrid.

Kevin Spacey Seeking Treatment Amid Sexual Misconduct Scandal
By Brandon Katz • 11/02/17 9:01am
Kevin Space hit with multiple sexual misconduct allegations. Tim P. Whitby/Getty Images
Following multiple allegations of sexual misconduct levied against Kevin Spacey, sparked by Star Trek: Discovery actor Anthony Rapp first accusation, the 58-year-old actor will seek "evaluation and treatment."
"Kevin Spacey is taking the time necessary to seek evaluation and treatment. No other information is available at this time," the actor's representative said in a statement provided to TheWrap.
Rapp claimed that Spacey made an unwanted sexual advance on him when he was just 14-years-old. Spacey's response to the accusation has been met with widespread criticism as he appeared to try and deflect attention by confirming publicly for the first time that he is gay.

— Kevin Spacey (@KevinSpacey) October 30, 2017
Netflix, home of Spacey's critically acclaimed series House of Cards, announced soon after that the show would end after its upcoming sixth season, though the streaming service stressed that this decision had been in the works long before Rapp's accusation. At the time, Netflix and series producer Media Rights Capital released a joint statement saying they "are deeply troubled by last night's news concerning Kevin Spacey. In response to last night's revelations, executives from both of our companies arrived in Baltimore this afternoon to meet with our cast and crew to ensure that they continue to feel safe and supported. As previously scheduled, Kevin Spacey is not working on set at this time."
However, after further consideration, Netflix announced that production on House of Cards had been suspended indefinitely. Not only that, but the company is also reportedly developing a potential spinoff instead.
Rapp's comments have led the way for other accusers to step forward and publicly speak about their own experiences with Spacey in much the same way that several women have joined the chorus against Harvey Weinstein. Two additional men publicly accused Spacey on Wednesday. As a result, the TV Academy decided not to award Spacey with the Emmy Founders Award as was planned and the actor's former London theater created an anonymous tip line for "inappropriate behavior," per TheWrap.
Spacey becomes the latest in a growing group of prominent entertainment figures to be accused of sexual misconduct alongside Weinstein, writer/director/producer Brett Ratner, actor Dustin Hoffman, writer/director James Toback and others.

PAYBACK'S A BITCH: Israel kills 3 Palestinian assassins and 3 more for good measure
December 26, 2009 by BareNakedIslam Leave a Comment
IDF kill three Fatah gunmen responsible for Thursday's fatal shooting of Meir Avshalom Hai in roadside ambush in West Bank. In another incident, three Palestinians killed in air strike near Gaza border while apparently trying to infiltrate Israel.
Israeli soldiers shot and killed three Palestinians of President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah movement on Saturday in the West Bank city of Nablus, medical officials and sources with the group said.
One dead Palestinian POS
The shootings came two days after Meir Avshalom Hai was killed in a roadside ambush in the West Bank, land Israel captured in a 1967 war that Palestinians seek for a state. The army said the three gunmen had carried out the attack on Hai.
Central Command chief Maj.-Gen. Avi Mizrahi said, "The IDF and the Shin Bet will act with resolve against all those looking to harm the State of Israel's citizens and security forces. We will not rest until we settle the score with those involved in last week's deadly attack."
The al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades of Fatah was one of two Palestinian militant groups that claimed responsibility for what was the first fatal shooting of an Israeli in an attack by militants in the territory in eight months. Medics said soldiers entered the casbah of Nablus as well as the Ras al-Ayin region at around 4 am on Saturday. Then soldiers surrounded the homes of the Palestinians before shooting and killing them. YNET NEWS

You are either a Jell-O Salad fan or a hater. Which side are you on? Posting date is June 3rd.
Prepare the Jell-O according to the package directions. Add the sliced strawberries and refrigerate until it is partially set (this takes about 25 minutes to 1 hour depending on the depth and type of vessel you use to chill the Jell-O). Make the other parts of the recipe while you wait for the Jell-O to nearly set.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Butter the sides and bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking pan, or spray it with nonstick cooking spray.
In a food processor, pulse the pretzels into coarse crumbs. Do not overprocess into a powder- if anything err on the side of having a few chunkier pretzel pieces (it's simply my preference). Alternatively, crush the pretzels with the bottom of a metal baking cup.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Whisk in the brown sugar and remove from the heat. Stir in the pretzel pieces until combined and turn the mixture out into the prepared pan. Use your hands or the back of a large spoon to press the mixture into the bottom of the pan, but do not press it up the sides. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then set it aside to cool completely.
Put the cream cheese and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed until well combined.
In a clean bowl, whip the cream, either by hand or using the standing mixer with the whip attachment, until soft peaks form. Use a rubber spatula to fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
Spread the cream cheese mixture over the cooled crust. Chill for 5 minutes in the refrigerator. Pour the almost-set Jell-O over the cream cheese layer to cover. Refrigerate the dessert for 2 hours or more to set before serving.
The Jell-O salad can be stored, tightly covered and refrigerated, for up to 3 days.
I'm really not so sure about this one, but my curiosity will probably win out. I love pretzel for pie crust, but with Jell-o?
Thanks again for doing all this…appreciate the written recipes where they are easy to use off the website.

Mama Nature has many remedies for that which ails us. Today, some of those remedies for women who may need help in the energy department.
A daily, high-quality multivitamin and mineral supplement is a must, and here are some herbs that you can add to your meals or take as supplements to replenish your energy levels.
Aloe Vera has been used for thousands of years as an immune booster and skin healer. It can also boost energy by improving digestion and blood sugar balance. Always read the labels, especially with aloe vera juice, and avoid preservatives such as benzoic acid or sodium benzoate.
Ashwaganda is an Indian herb that seems to have potent immune-boosting and anti-stress properties. It has an earthy flavour that is an acquired taste and you can take it in capsule and tincture form.
Bee pollen is not, strictly speaking, a herb, but it is often recommended by herbalists because it's one of nature's superfoods – power-packed with nutrients, including amino acids, minerals, vitamins and enzymes. One or two teaspoons of fresh, raw pollen a day is suggested as an energy booster. Some people may be allergic so take a few grains first to make sure you are not.
Burdock root can be used like carrots, and boosts energy by increasing circulation.
Cinnamon is a herb widely used in cookery that can boost digestion and metabolism. Even just a little cinnamon, such as small amounts sprinkled on toast, can do the trick. A dash of cinnamon or half a teaspoon with every meal may help keep blood sugar levels in check and energy levels balanced.
Garlic may have a mild blood sugar-lowering effect and, like oily fish and oats, garlic is also linked with heart health because it can lower cholesterol.
Ginger is a herb commonly used in cooking that can aid the digestive process and in turn increase your energy.
Ginkgo is great for those who tend to forget things very easily or have a hard time maintaining concentration levels. It helps improve memory and mental alertness throughout the day.
Ginseng is a very popular product with numerous health benefits. It is believed to help the body adapt to stress and can help balance blood sugar levels and boost mood. Siberian ginseng rather than the more intense Asian Ginseng is generally recommended for energy boosting, and studies have shown that it can help combat fatigue.
Maca is marketed in some countries as an alternative to vinegar, and is suggested to have libido- and stamina-boosting effects. Studies have yet to confirm this, but there is no doubt that maca is power-packed with minerals that can boost energy, such as iron and calcium.
Nettle helps to balance and regulate blood sugar, which is vital for healthy energy levels. It is also mineral-rich and studies suggest that it can nourish the adrenal glands. You can eat nettles as a vegetable or you can make an infusion by putting 3-4 tablespoons of dried nettle leaves in a cup or mug of near-boiling water. Steep for an hour and strain. Use in soups, stews, or simply drink.
Rosemary is believed to boost mental alertness and memory. To help you stay awake at your desk, put a few drops of the essential oil on a cotton ball and place it on your desk as you work.
A list of foods and drinks that you may think are energy boosting but, in reality, actually do the opposite.
Alcohol: Made from yeast and has a similar effect to sugar in your body, giving you a temporary high, followed by a long low.
Drinking: If you drink a lot, start by reminding yourself that you don't actually need to have a glass in your hand to have a good time. Set yourself a target of three to five drinks a week and stick to it. If you find this impossible, seek professional help.
Coffee: A diuretic that depletes your body of vital energy-boosting nutrients. It also contains caffeine, which disturbs normal sleep patterns.
Fizzy drinks: Many contain caffeine as well as sugar and colourings that act as stimulants, playing havoc with your blood sugar levels, causing short-lived energy highs and prolonged energy lows.
Chocolate: Contains theobromine, which has an action similar to, but not as strong as, caffeine.
Cigarettes: Contain cancerous chemicals and the stimulant nicotine, which is a sedative in large amounts.
Smoking: This is perhaps one of the hardest energy-draining habits to break and one for which you may need to seek advice if you want to quit. It really is worth persisting though, as many people who give up find that their energy levels soar. To reduce your cravings you need to boost your body's ability to eliminate chemicals and a healthy diet, plenty of exercise and drinking lots of water can all help to detoxify your body.
Stimulants are one of your body's greatest energy drainers. To cut down or quit, identify which stimulants you are using as pick-me-ups and cut down your consumption of them gradually.
Note: Remember, herbs are generally safe, but caution should always be taken when you ingest them. To be on the safe side, if you are pregnant or hoping to be, suffer from allergies, are on medication or have a pre-existing medical condition like high blood pressure or diabetes, you should not use any herbs without consulting a qualified practitioner your doctor first.


A friend suggested I should try a half marathon. At the time I hated to run so I told her to put her crack pipe down, running more than three miles is not for me. About a week later I signed up for the San Antonio Rock and Roll Half Marathon and to help me train for this half marathon I hired a coach. Along with proper running technique I learned about intervals, cadence, negative splits and my favorite fartlek's. Somehow this man showed me how much fun running can be. Yes guys', running is fun! So I completed my first ½ marathon on November 11, 2012 and the following day I signed up for my second ½. By my second "sleeve-iversary" I had completed four ½ marathons and a total of 5 sprint triathlons.
After my second ½ marathon I decided to throw in CrossFit just for fun. One of the best things about CrossFit is the little victories you get after each workout. I'll see the WOD (that means workout of the day in CrossFit talk), and think there is no way I can finish that and then I do. CrossFit makes everything come together, my running form is better and I'm getting faster and stronger.
My next goal was a big one, the Chevron Houston Marathon. Yes this girl was going to run 26.2 miles. I joined my neighborhood-running club and began training. I just started my training when boom, I had to have surgery. I had become anemic and had to have a hysterectomy. I was discouraged but deep down I knew the marathon was going to happen. Once I got cleared from my doctor I was out pounding the pavement with my group. I finished my first marathon, minutes before the cutoff time, but I finished!
Since my first marathon I continue to race and I'm currently signed up for IronMan Texas 70.3 on April 10, 2016. I've also created a blog called From Fatass to Badass to to talk about my struggles, triumphs and badassery. It's not all pretty people, being fit is hard work, but boy it's fun!
I'm going into my 5th year post-op and I haven't gained any of my weight back. My advice to anyone wanting to get WLS is to make the commitment to eat right and be active. It's pretty nice when instead of thinking of food as something good to eat you think of it as fuel for your body.

Smoking Cessation Induced by Deep Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation of the Prefrontal and Insular Cortices: A Prospective, Randomized Controlled Trial

Tobacco smoking is the leading cause of preventable death in developed countries. This group of investigators'previous studies in animal models and humans suggest that repeated activation of cue-induced craving networks followed by electromagnetic stimulation of the dorsal prefrontal cortex (PFC) can cause lasting reductions in drug craving and consumption.
The investigators hypothesized that disruption of these circuitries by deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) of the PFC and insula bilaterally can induce smoking cessation.
Adults (N=115) who smoke at least 20 cigarettes/day and failed previous treatments were recruited from the general population. Participants were randomized to receive 13 daily sessions of high-frequency, low-frequency or sham stimulation following, or without, presentation of smoking cues. Deep TMS was administered using an H-coil version targeting the lateral PFC and insula bilaterally. Cigarette consumption was evaluated during the treatment by measuring cotinine levels in urine samples and recording participants' self-reports as a primary outcome variable. Dependence and craving were assessed using standardized questionnaires.
High (but not low) frequency deep TMS treatment significantly reduced cigarette consumption and nicotine dependence. The combination of this treatment with exposure to smoking cues enhanced reduction in cigarette consumption leading to an abstinence rate of 44% at the end of the treatment and an estimated 33% 6 months following the treatment.
This study further implicates the lateral PFC and insula in nicotine addiction and suggests the use of deep high-frequency TMS of these regions following presentation of smoking cues as a promising treatment strategy.

Workers face off with cops at government-supported Foxconn factory, demand promised pay
Workers at the world's largest iPhone factory in China clash with police, videos show
By CNN's Beijing bureau and Jake Kwon, November 23, 2022
Beijing/Hong Kong — Workers at China's largest iPhone assembly factory were seen confronting police, some in riot gear, on Wednesday, according to videos shared over social media.
Hundreds of workers faced off with law enforcement officers, many in white hazmat suits, on the Foxconn campus in Zhengzhou. In the footage, now blocked, some of the protesters could be heard complaining about their pay and sanitary conditions.
The scenes come days after Chinese state media reported that more than 100,000 people had signed up to fill positions advertised as part of a massive recruitment drive held for Foxconn's Zhengzhou plant.
After a Covid outbreak last month, the site was ordered to lock down, leading some anxious factory workers to flee. Foxconn said it had quadrupled daily bonuses for workers at the plant this month.
Workers said Foxconn failed to honor their promise of an attractive bonus and pay package. Numerous complaints have also been posted anonymously on social media platforms accusing Foxconn of having changed the salary packages previously advertised.
Searches for "Foxconn" on Chinese social media now yield few results, an indication of heavy censorship.
"Regarding violent behaviors, the company will continue to communicate with employees and the government to prevent similar incidents from happening again," Foxconn said in a statement in Chinese.
From https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/23/tech/china-covid-foxconn-zhengzhou-confrontation-intl-hnk/index.html
The government is too busy urging retired soldiers to help Foxconn maintain output after many workers fled to avoid lockdown in the factory (previously reported, see below).
You may be interested in the analysis at my article, "Apple's Profits and Foxconn Workers' Wages," http://www.hollowcolossus.com/item_Apple_Tricontl.htm , including a review of ludicrous political economy calculations from Vishay Prasad. —C.A.
Chinese authorities call on retired soldiers to help Foxconn iPhone plant
Reuters, Nov. 16, 2022
Shanghai - Local authorities in Henan province have urged retired soldiers and government workers to take on stints at Foxconn's iPhone factory in Zhengzhou.
The plant has been hit by discontent over government mandated measures to curb the spread of COVID-19, which prompted many workers to flee in recent weeks.
Authorities in cities such as Jiyuan and Kaifeng say that those who take up the offer will be eligible to receive their current salary plus wages and bonuses from the factory. In Jiyuan, for example, public sector workers can receive a bonus of 800 yuan ($112.9) after signing up for the job, and a further 3,000 yuan ($423.5) bonus after completing 30 days of work, on top of factory wages and their current salary, it said, citing an unnamed junior government official.
Foxconn declined to comment on the hiring schemes, and also declined to give further updates on the Zhengzhou plant's manufacturing status.
Apple last week lowered its forecast for shipments of the premium iPhone 14 model due to the situation.

Ok, so if you know me, you'll know I have the biggest weakness when it comes to babies….seriously though, who doesn't? There is nothing more infectious than the smile of a toddler playing in a crèche trying on your sunglasses or a mother lion giving her cub a bath or a young elephant stretching their trunk to reach for the higher leaves. This is why I made the easy decision to write my blog on babies….the babies of Africa that I have seen so far here on Karongwe Reserve and in the local community. I've been in South Africa just over a month now with GVI and it's been nothing short of spectacular. I would never experience the things I've seen here back home in Ireland. The only baby I have at home, if you can call him that, is my 6 year old German Shepherd. Obviously I'm missing him but the youngsters over here are certainly helping with my longing.
I'll start with the most important babies of Africa, the local children from the communities, The Oaks and The Willows. We have been fortunate enough to work with the infamous Kutullo here at GVI who is originally from The Oaks and plays the key role in helping the community. His selflessness is inspiring and has encouraged us to help out a crèche from the Willows. Since this crèche has such little facilities, our aim is to build a classroom, a proper bathroom, a fence surrounding the crèche and hopefully a playground. We have started building a fence around the perimeter of the crèche already. A few of the children got to leave their mark by painting their hands and leaving handprints on some of the fence posts. It was adorable to see them get involved which inevitably increased our enthusiasm to help build this crèche for them. Some of us made a side trip to the other crèche GVI helped in The Oaks and it was amazing to see so many children smiling and playing in the garden with the teachers. That's what we want for the children of The Willows. I know I won't be here to see the final result but hey, isn't that just the perfect excuse to come back to South Africa.
When I'm talking about the babies of Africa, I am also including the amazing animals from the bush here at Karongwe. There are so many different species, I had to pick a few of my favourites or else we'll be here all day. Lets start with the Royal Family, Karongwe's pride of lions. The King and Queen are the happy parents of four mischievous young cubs. It's incredible to see how much they've grown in the past four weeks alone. They are just over six months old now and are often seen happily crunching down on some zebra or kudu with Mum and Dad. Even with their full bellies, they still make time for playtime. Watching them pounce on each other or testing the waters with their father, they're generally up to no good. Don't be fooled though by their furry teddy bear ears and playful ways, they're still top of the food chain here on the reserve and will be perfecting their hunting skills soon with the help from their mum.
Next on my checklist are the rhino. Here at Karongwe we have white rhino, the gentler souls compared to their relatives the black rhino, who can suffer from a bit of temper. Rhinos are the second largest animal here on the reserve after the elephant. Baby rhinos are always a delight to see as their parents are substantially larger than them. This doesn't seem to bother these growing little boulders as they are happy to keep up with mum. I don't know what's cuter when it comes to these beautiful babies; is it their growing horn or their messy face from nosing through the dirt. I am yet to get a picture of the newest little lighting flash here, but I've a good stretch to go and will hopefully be lucky enough to snap a picture when its not looking.
Next up, it gives me great pleasure to talk briefly about my favourite antelope, the waterbuck. I love them. They're fluffy, they've heart shaped noses like Care Bears and they've white circles around their bum. They're just such a funky animal and the babies are even better. The waterbuck, like people, leave their young in a creche. It's the most magical little thing ever. The parents leave 3-4 or more little ones together while they go off and eat. They don't stray far, but it's too cute driving across a little group of young waterbuck by themselves just looking at you amazed, trying to figure out should they move or not. I know they're not your typical stunning mythical kudu with magestic horns. but they are the great confusion between a donkey, a bear and a reindeer.
Giraffe have to be included purely on their awkwardness. These tall models are born at a height of around two metres, so they're pretty much born ready for the runway. The mothers give birth standing up, making it a bit of a drop for at first, but surprisingly, they are ok. Being this tall, they have interesting running abilities. It looks like they're running in slow motion and the very young ones here at Karongwe don't know what to make of our squeaky trucks so they either run to mum or run away. However, you do get the odd staring competition from them and believe me, you will lose. Their diet will consist of between 40-60% Acacia nigrescens (Knobthorn) to help them grow big and tall, well…taller.
Finally the elephants; the big guys. Here on the reserve, we have a herd of twenty elephants, with two large males, Flippy and Fumbe. When you catch a glimpse of the younger elephants compared to these big guys, there's a distinct difference as a full grown male can weigh up to 6000kg. The two dominant bulls are on a contraceptive, so unfortunately no tiny baby elephants are wandering the reserve. However, we still have much smaller youngsters still by mum's side. By far, being surrounded by the herd of elephants in the truck has been one of the most memorable moments of this entire trip. To be able to get so close to these magnificant creatures was mind blowing and seeing the curiosity of the younger ones was so wonderful as they lift their small trunk in the air to sniff us.

Nuclear Outlook
The share of nuclear power generation in the global energy mix is set to decline through 2040 if there is no policy support to promote investment, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). "Nuclear energy plays a major role in both energy security and sustainability in today's energy mix," Dr Fatih Birol, the IEA's Executive Director, said during a workshop on the role of nuclear power in the world's clean energy system. "However without appropriate policy attention, its contribution will shrink, creating challenges for meeting our energy policy goals in the future," Birol noted. The contribution of nuclear power to the global power mix in mature markets is set for a significant decline under current policy frameworks, as there are limited investments in new plants construction, the IEA said. Under the Paris-based agency's New Policies Scenario, nuclear power production grows as two developing economies, China and India, are responsible for more than 90 percent of net growth to 2040. However, outside of Japan, nuclear power generation in mature economies is seen dropping by 20 percent by 2040. "Declining investment, announced phase-out policies and planned retirements, combined with only 56 GW of nuclear capacity under construction in 2017, suggest that meeting the goal of 185 GW of net increase needed by 2030 will be very challenging," according to the IEA.

Radwaste
Sinn Fein says it was shocked the DUP didn't back its motion opposing the dumping of radioactive waste in the Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon council area. At the meeting on Monday night, Sinn Fein brought forward a motion noting the local Council's "unequivocal opposition" to any nuclear waste disposal facilities or any further surveys in Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon. The motion passed, with support from all parties but the DUP, who abstained. Sinn Fein Cllr Darren McNally said: "We are shocked that the grave concerns we expressed, including a risk to life, was not backed by the DUP."

Wylfa
Full planning permission will still be sought for the Wylfa Newydd nuclear project, despite the fact it has been put on hold. This would allow "a timely restart" to work on the £13bn plant on Anglesey in the future, the company behind it said. Horizon was building the plant as a subsidiary of Hitachi, with two nuclear reactors set to be up and running by the mid-2020s. But the Japanese firm suspended work last month because of rising costs. It said the decision would cost it an estimated 300bn yen (£2.1bn) as "extraordinary losses".

A SCOTS energy firm is to pay back cash after administrative errors led to it receiving more than £4 million more than it was entitled to under a renewable energy scheme. Perth-based energy giant SSE is to pay out upwards of £705,000 after the administrative mistakes meant it had overinflated its renewable energy payments status. The Scottish Hydro Electric owner will pay the cash to the feed-in tariffs levelisation fund and in redress after overstating to Ofgem the costs it incurred through making payments to eligible low carbon generators. As a result of the error, the supplier received £4.07m more than it was entitled to in payments from the annual fund.

ASN has decided to modify the commissioning schedule for diesel generator sets for emergency fuel (DUS) given the difficulties faced by EDF during construction operations. ASN has included this rescheduling, which extends until 31 December 2020, of the requirements for the control of the conformity of existing electricity sources. EDF informed ASN that it was impossible for 54 reactors to meet the deadline of 31 December 2018 for the installation of an additional power supply that is robust to extreme situations. ASN considers that the difficulties encountered by EDF are proven and that some of them still remain. They result in particular from the scale, the complexity of operations and the peculiarities of certain sites. ASN had imposed on EDF, in its decisions of 26 June 2012 taken in the light of the conclusions of the supplementary safety assessments carried out following the Fukushima Daiichi accident, the establishment by 31 December 2018 of an average of additional power supply including power supply, in case of loss of other external and internal electrical sources, systems and components belonging to the "hard core [1] " defined by these same decisions. In response to these requirements, EDF started the construction of generators called "diesels of ultimate rescue" (DUS).

By decision of 25 February 2019, ASN informed EDF to produce and keep the proof of qualification of the Flamanville EPR reactor equipment . In accordance with the decree authorizing the creation of the facility, EDF must qualify the equipment important for nuclear safety of the Flamanville EPR reactor. The aim of the qualification is to demonstrate that the equipment installed in the installation is capable of operating in all the conditions in which it is used (temperature, humidity, radioactivity, etc.), particularly in the event of an accident. This qualification is based in particular on studies and tests; it must be the subject of documentation and traceability required by the decree of 7 February 2012 laying down the general rules for basic nuclear installations (known as the "INB order") and must be demonstrated before commissioning of the installation.

The UK's largest solar power investment in three years will move ahead in the North of England without the need for subsidies. Under the landmark deal, Investec Bank and Leapfrog Finance will fund the construction of two "ultra-advanced" solar projects, in York and Hull, which will ultimately light up streets almost 100 miles to the east. Warrington Borough Council plans to pay more than £60m for the pair of solar parks once they are operational, making it the first local authority to power its offices, streetlights and several primary schools entirely from renewable energy. The council expects the investment to free up an extra £150m over 30 years to be invested into frontline services. Warrington council expects to use the power produced in Hull to cut its £2m annual electricity bill, while selling on the power produced in York to generate extra revenues for the local authority.

GRIDSERVE has unveiled that it is to start construction on a 37.4MW solar farm and 27MW battery storage project imminently, in what is being billed as the UK's most technologically advanced solar farm to date. As well as being built without subsidies, the solar farm will be the first in the UK to use bifacial modules and single-axis trackers, indicating two potentially significant trends for the utility-scale market moving forward. Once complete, the site will be purchased buy and supply 100% of the energy demand of Warrington Borough Council, in yet another significant milestone for the UK solar sector. In addition, a second, 25.7MW solar farm is to be constructed soon after, taking GRIDSERVE's solar build-out for this year to 62MW.
Solar Power Portal 28th Feb 2019 read more »
Jointly funded by Investec Bank and Leapfrog Finance, the solar farms will have a combined capacity of 62MW and will be used to make Warrington Borough Council the first UK-based local authority to generate all of its own energy. The first of the solar farms, a 34.7MWp hybrid solar farm in York, will feature a 27MW battery and is due to come online in October, with construction set to begin immediately. A second 25.7MWp solar farm will then be installed in Hull, with plans for a battery array at the site yet to be finalised. Warrington Borough Council believes that the Hull solar farm will be able to meet 100% of its energy demands, reducing its annual energy bills by up to £2m in the process. Electricity from the York facility, meanwhile, will initially be sold on the open market – but may be offered to other local authorities in the future. The Council estimates that the two solar farms – once fully operational – will generate enough clean power to supply more than 18,000 homes and mitigate the emission of 25,000 tonnes of carbon every year.

Dave Elliott: Amory Lovins from the Rocky Mountain Institute, US, says the cost of energy efficiency will fall — not rise — with wider use if we adopt integrated system design. That's a divergence from the traditional view that, once we've exploited the easy "low-hanging fruit" energy-saving options, it will get harder and more expensive to make more savings. It may be true that as energy-saving measures are rolled out widely, the technology will get cheaper due to economies of production volumes and learning-curve improvements. But in his recent paper, Lovins goes further: integrated design offers large additional cost savings. That's since we are moving from energy-efficiency upgrades — add-ons to basically unchanged systems — to complete new system designs. Lovins offers examples from the building sector, with big savings possible via designs incorporating full insulation that eliminate the need for heating systems, as at the Rocky Mountain Institute's HQ. Eliminating or downsizing heating and cooling needs is obviously good news, assuming it does not cost too much, which is what Lovins claims. He offers similar gains from system design approaches in industry; energy use can be reduced by clever design and new tech. This seems fair enough — you can squeeze out energy use and cut costs. But can that process be continued repeatedly? Aren't there final limits? Lovins seems to think not. At least, not until we get to zero energy use, or low residual energy use based on renewables. Energy efficiency, aided by smart system management, is clearly a key part, making it easier for renewables, large and small, to supply the reduced demand. Although this all seems to be about electricity — as was the case in the DNV-GL study I looked at in my previous post. Electricity is certainly getting pushed hard as the best decarbonization route in every sector. But in my next post I ask if the future must be all-electric? There are other options for energy supply and use, and for storage and system balancing.

Nottingham City Council is set to trial new electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure, including battery storage and bi-directional chargers, as part of an EU-funded vehicle-to-grid (V2G) project. Nottingham is one of four European cities that have been selected as pilot sites for CleanMobilEnergy – a project backed by € 4.29m of EU funding which will utilise various clean energy systems and V2G technologies to support regional EV rollouts. The Council has purchased 40 new EVs to trial a V2G concept at its Eastcroft Depot site – a waste transfer facility – through an innovative energy management system. The project combines three main elements: solar panels at the Eastcroft Depot to generate electricity, a large battery to store energy until required, and a fleet of EVs for additional storage and operational purposes. The Council has also said that it plans to use the system to bid into ancillary services and trial selling flexible power. Nottingham City Council's Portfolio Holder for Energy and the Environment Sally Longford said: "Nottingham is leading the way when it comes to green transport and, as a Council, we're on track to convert over 20% of our fleet to ultra-low-emission vehicles by 2020. "The 40 new vehicles we are planning to buy go further than that and embrace a revolutionary concept of using stationary vehicles as energy stores to resupply the power grid. On average, domestic cars sit idle for 95% of the time, and this project allows them not only to be charged, but also to feed electricity stored within their batteries back to the grid or nearby buildings.
The decision to slash incentives on electric cars means the Government risks missing its own targets to radically increase the number of low-pollution vehicles on the roads, according to AutoTrader. Nathan Coe, boss of the car website, warned that last year's decision to end grants on hybrid vehicles and reduce them by £1,000 to £3,500 on all-electric cars is deterring buyers. Last summer the Government said it wanted "at least" 50pc and up to 70pc of all new cars bought in Britain to be electric by 2030. Just 6pc of new cars bought in the UK last year were so-called Alternatively Fuelled Vehicles (AFVs), with some sort of electric power. This 50pc target in the Department of Transport's "Road to Zero" plan followed an announcement in 2017 that new cars with only petrol or diesel engines would be banned by 2040.
Only three-quarters of new cars sold in 2040 in the UK will be electrically powered, falling short of government targets, unless ministers increase incentives for consumers to buy battery vehicles, analysis by online marketplace Auto Trader suggests. Monitoring search and buying habits through its online platform of half-a-million cars, and a poll of 3,000 consumers, the group predicts in its latest market report that sales of electric or hybrid cars will overtake petrol and diesel by 2030, but will only account for 75 per cent of new sales a decade later. The government has a target of phasing out the sale of non-electrical cars by 2040, in efforts to cut Britain's carbon emissions and improve city air quality.

A plan by Ineos to spend £500 million modernising a piece of key infrastructure in the North Sea is expected to help to sustain oil and gas production in the basin. The investment in the Forties pipeline system is part of a £1 billion scheme announced by the company yesterday. About £350 million will be spent building a new power plant to sustain capacity at Ineos's Grangemouth refinery in Falkirk and a further £150 million creating a vinyl acetate monomer facility, which is used for a variety of industrial and consumer products, in Hull.

The future of the Grangemouth industrial complex appears to have been secured for decades after its owner announced a huge investment. Ineos is spending £850 million in Scotland to underpin its operations north of the border. There are 1,800 staff at Grangemouth across Ineos's refining and petrochemical operations with a similar number of contractors also based there. It supports thousands more jobs in the wider economy and supply chain. Yesterday Ineos, which is controlled by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, 66, said that it would be putting £500 million towards extending the life of the Forties pipeline system which connects more than 80 North Sea fields with the mainland. The pipeline comes ashore at Cruden Bay north of Aberdeen and the oil and gas are then transported into processing and treatment facilities at the Kinneil part of Grangemouth. Ineos said that without the investment the operation, which transports about 40 per cent of oil and gas extracted from the North Sea to shore, would have been likely to close by 2030. Now it is expected to continue well into the 2040s. Ineos is also spending £350 million on a new power and steam plant.

We build wells around the world: on mountains, in deserts, in jungles. There's no community on earth that doesn't need water, and if they don't have it, then we build them a well.
Wells: Building & Being envisions a world where everyone has access to clean water. Unfortunately, many communities today still don't have the means to tap into this important resource. So we use your grassroots donations to fund well construction. A toast to communities, water, and you.
Help Us Fundraise for Access to Water!
Our ability to provide access to water for everyone relies on your donations. Make a donation to one of our projects for as little as $5 and ensure that everyone has access to water.
So far, in 3 years, we've built 150 wells and counting. That's 150 communities that now have access to water for their everyday needs. What does that mean?
Studies have shown that when children have access to clean water, they are 50% less likely to suffer from a life threatening disease before the age of 14. Children are also 75% more likely to attend school uninterrupted and attend to their family farms.
