Danny DeVito is poised to make his Great White Way debut in Arthur Miller’s The Price beginning on February 16. The Emmy and Golden Globe winner stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on January 26 to discuss sharing the stage with heavy hitters like Mark Ruffalo, Tony Shalhoub and Jessica Hecht—and who to not sit next to on opening night. Late night king Fallon will be attending The Price’s Broadway opening on March 16 with his mother, which lead to DeVito joking that he heard her opening candy during a particularly quiet scene during A Bronx Tale’s opening night performance and apparently wasn’t the only one. Take a look at the hilarious clips below, and be sure to catch The Price at the American Airlines Theatre through May 7!

World’s second floating offshore wind project takes shape off the coast of Portugal FacebookTwitterLinkedInEmailPrint分享Euractiv:The first turbine from the WindFloat Atlantic project was successfully towed from Ferrol, Spain, towards its destination 20 km off the coast of Viana do Castelo in Portugal on Saturday (19 October), in what constitutes a world second for floating wind.That first turbine will be joined in the coming months by two more floating units, which by the end of the year will produce 25 MW of electricity, enough to cover the energy needs of 60,000 homes, said the promoters of the project, an international consortium.This is the second floating wind farm in Europe and the world after the Hywind project was inaugurated off the coast of Scotland in October 2017. The world’s first floating wind farm started delivering electricity to the Scottish power grid on Wednesday (18 October), and will utilise an innovative battery storage system to provide power to around 20,000 households. EURACTIV’s partner edie.net reports.The project uses WindFloat technology, which enables platforms to be installed in deep waters, inaccessible to date, where abundant wind resources can be harnessed.The project is led by the Windplus consortium, comprising Portugal’s EDP Renewables (54.4%), France’s ENGIE (25%), Spain’s Repsol (19.4%) and US-based Principle Power Inc. (1.2%). The government of Portugal, the European Commission and the European Investment Bank all provided financial support, with the EIB acting as the lead bank.“This is the first floating wind farm which is bank financed,” said João Metelo, the CEO of Principle Power, adding Windplus was the first of its kind to be fully developed as a commercial project. “It really proves the ability to finance floating wind, which until now wasn’t the case,” Metelo told EURACTIV.More: World’s second floating wind farm sets sail for Portugal
Pakistani prime minister says country will not approve any new coal-fired power plants FacebookTwitterLinkedInEmailPrint分享Mining.com:Pakistan’s Prime Minister, Imran Khan, announced over the weekend that as part of a number of efforts to counteract the effects of climate change, his administration will not approve new coal-fired power generation projects.“We have already scrapped two coal power projects which were supposed to produce 2,600 megawatts of energy. [We have] replaced them with hydroelectricity,” Khan said during his address at the Climate Ambition Summit 2020, which was hosted virtually by the United Nations, the United Kingdom, France, Chile and Italy.“We have also decided that by 2030, 60% of all energy produced in Pakistan will be from clean energy, renewables, and also 30% of all our vehicles will be [powered by] electricity,” the PM said. Over the last five years, the South Asian country has seen 18 wind power projects of 937MW, six solar power projects of 418MW and six bagasse projects totaling 201 MW achieve commercial operations and provide electricity to its grid. Yet, renewables and nuclear only make up 9% of the energy mix, while hydropower produces 27% and fossil fuels – natural gas, liquefied natural gas, and coal – generate 64% of the electricity.There is also still a gap between current demand and supply of approximately 2,000 MW in peak season, as the annual consumption rate has grown by almost 7%. Filling this gap while limiting emissions has been on Khan’s agenda since he took power back in 2018.Both at the Summit and in other international fora, the politician has pointed out the fact that Pakistan is the fifth most vulnerable country to the effects of global warming, despite its contribution to global emissions being less than 1%.[Valentina Ruiz Leotaud]More: Pakistan won’t approve new coal power plants
By Dialogo August 28, 2012 Two European countries stand out regarding the use of these machines. In 2010, the Merseyside Police in England used a rotary-wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) equipped with thermal cameras to locate a suspect who had stolen a car. During the chase, the suspect (a 16 year-old young man at the time) took advantage of the strong fog to hide. The sensors onboard the UAV made his arrest possible because they were able to “see” through the fog. This was the first arrest in the United Kingdom with the help of an unmanned aerial vehicle. The English use their UAVs to crack down on drug trafficking, control civil unrest, in addition to monitoring missions where the discretion provided by low-silhouette and low-emission noise provided by electric motors is required. Using a similar airplane than that of their Merseyside colleagues, the Derbyshire Police, monitored a series of riots registered in the city of Condor. Currently, England’s Ministry of Justice has been studying the applicability of the UAVs during firefighting activities. However, the main user of UAVs in Europe is the German Federal Police (Bundespolizei), which utilize rotary-wing machines, including, patrol boats, to support the missions that are under its responsibility, where manned aircraft can be spared. Across the Atlantic, authorities in the United States resorted to the use of several UAVs to map the regions affected by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, which represented the first use of this aircraft for civil defense in the world. Also, police authorities in Texas have been using a rotary-wing model capable of operating less lethal weaponry, and the Ogden Police in Utah, as well as the North Little Rock Police Department in Arkansas have received authorization to use the unmanned vehicles in their missions. Studies are being done in Los Angeles, California, on the use of the UAVs in situations where manned airplanes may be spared in an effort to save resources. Other places like Fairfax, Virginia, and the District of Columbia are already using them. In order to reinforce the speed in which legislators work to allow its adoption throughout the United States, Bob McDonnell, Governor of Virginia and strong advocate of the use of UAV’s in police activities, has been working intensely. Furthermore, the main manufacturer of these aircrafts in the United States expects that over 10,000 corporations will purchase their products. In 2011, the Federal Aviation Administration granted 313 permits to several public and private institutions, various schools and research institutions. National Panorama In Brazil, there are currently more than 20 official and non-official initiatives regarding the applicability of UAVs, as well as the development of their sensors (payload). Studies are aimed at military use in public and civil security. Some of the Brazilian institutions involved in these are the Army’s Military Engineering Institute, the Coast and Anti-Aerial Artillery School of the Army, the State University of Bahia, the University of Santa Catarina, the University of Saõ Paulo, the University of Minas Gerais, the Federal University of Bahia, the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, the Federal University of the Amazon, and the Department of Science and Aerospace Technology, among others. The following is a brief assessment of what has already been fulfilled in the area of public safety and civil defense: Pará Since 2010, the Department of Public Safety of the State of Pará has been using two rotary-wing UAVs with combustion engines, and with parts of their bodies consisting of carbon fiber. These UAVs have a full HD color camera, a technical car with complete infrastructure needed by an unmanned mission, and have been used in different corners of the great Brazilian state, especially in the operation known as Veraneio. The population of Pará uses the machines to reduce the police’s response time during incidents where fixed or rotary-wing manned airplanes are not needed. Furthermore, the state of Pará borders French Guiana and Suriname, thus, a Military Police Squad was created for the borders to fulfill their missions with the support of these unmanned drones.

I am NOT a supporter of the theory that sport is too big an ambassador and advertisement of a country in the world.Kudos to all the fantastic successes of Janica and Ivica Kostelic, Sandra Perkovic, Sara Kolak, Tina Srbic, water polo players and handball players. These are results that are sensational by all criteria and that have spread the name of Croatia around the world, but because of them no one decided to visit Croatia, or only a small number of people did.Football, however, is something completely different.I was walking towards the newsroom today when a guy pulled me by the arm in the middle of Držić’s. I was listening to music and at first I didn’t understand it, but when I took off the headphones I realized it wasn’t from here and needed help.”I’m sorry, I’m looking for this hostel,” he asked me in “Indian” English and showed me the address on his cell phone.Since the hostel was very close and in my direction I told him I would take him. Classic, he asked me if I was from here, I asked him where he was from. He told me that he was from India, from Kolkata, but that he had been working in Warsaw for several months and that he had never been to Croatia before.Just when he wanted to say something, a taxi driver with a hood covered with a Croatian flag passed in front of us. The Indian laughed.As a good host, I explained to him that Croatia is in the finals of the World Cup and that the whole country is in a collective delirium. There are days off, no eating and no sleeping and everyone is just talking about football and waiting for the game against France.He laughed again and patted me on the shoulder.”I know, my friend, that’s why I came,” he said with a laugh.”I pray?””Yes, I came from Warsaw for two days so that I could watch the match with the Croats. I read on the internet about the madness in Croatia and I had to see it first hand, when I couldn’t get tickets for the game. It’s going to be crazy, isn’t it? ” he asked me.I explained to him that the match would be watched on the Square and that the players would already have a spectacular welcome on Monday.“And yes? Oh, well then I stay another day. Thank you for your help and good luck “, he said with a greeting.He turned, raised his hand, and shouted,“My friend, don’t worry! Croatia! World Champions! ”He has never been to Croatia before. But he came when he saw what the Croats were doing at the World Cup.Published by: Stjepan Mati, Index.hr
The multi-sector industry coalition SEA-LNG noted that an independent investment study backs commercial benefits of LNG as fuel for a newbuild 210,000 DWT ore carrier sailing from Australia to China. The study illustrates strong returns on investment for LNG as a marine fuel on a Net Present Value (NPV) basis over a conservative 10-year horizon.The modeling analysis is bolstered by payback periods of two to four years for the newbuild CAPESIZE on this major ore trade corridor, SEA-LNG said.Commenting on the study Peter Keller, chairman, SEA-LNG, said, “The impressive results of this latest installment in our investment case series further underlines LNG’s position as a financially sound investment for deep-sea vessels, across a range of vessel specifications.”This study was designed to provide greater clarity for those investing in LNG as a marine fuel for large bulk vessels.The study findings show that LNG delivers a superior return on investment on an NPV basis of several million dollars in comparison with conventional compliant fuels across all fuel scenarios investigated, and also that LNG engine and fuel systems investment is paid back within two to four years.SEA-LNG commissioned the study as the fourth in a series of investment evaluations by simulation and analytics experts Opsiana.It follows studies covering a 14,000 TEU container vessel operating on the Asia-US West Coast liner route, a dual study examining an 8,000 CEU Pure Car and Truck Carrier (PCTC) on the Pacific and smaller 6,500 CEU on the Atlantic Trade Lanes, and a 300K DWT VLCC running Arabian Gulf to Asia.

A report from the Mail on Sunday claimed that Martin Carefoot, a farmer from Preston, was paid £25,000 in order to provide false statements about supplying contaminated meat, which was later consumed by Fury. Fury and cousin Hughie tested positive for the banned steroid nandrolone in February 2015, but blamed the failed test on eating uncastrated wild boar or contaminated supplements. The case was never presented to the National Anti-Doping Panel and was instead settled by a compromise between Fury and UK Anti-Doping, with the Gypsy King accepting a two-year backdated ban. Last month, Fury beat Deontay Wilder to win the WBC heavyweight title and the president of the World Boxing Council insists the Gypsy King will not be stripped of his title. “Personally, I prefer to believe Tyson Fury ahead of someone who has already admitted to lying in legal documents for financial gain,” Sulaiman told The Sun. “The person who has claimed he accepted money to lie should be the one on trial, in my personal opinion, especially when he has waited five years to tell his story. “Secondly, around this time Tyson was not involved with the WBC, he did not fight Klitschko for the WBC belt, it was for other titles, so this issue does not impact on him being our heavyweight world champion.”Tags: Anti-DopingBOXINGDrug banDrug useTyson FuryWBC
