Pricing will be even harder. Few utilities in the world charge consumers the full cost of the water they use. And even in countries where they do, a water subsidy may be included in the cost of the goods people buy in shops. To persuade people to recognise and pay for the water-intensity of their lifestyles may require concerted campaigns of the type that have helped cut smoking rates in many places. But because they will affect the entire population, it will be even harder. On the other hand, as experience in some unlikely places has shown—Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia, for example—poor people will pay for a clean, reliable source of water. After all, in much of the world, they already pay over the odds for dirty, dangerous and erratic supplies.

The foundations of the Hughes fortune had been laid, noted Barlett in a 1979 book. “Exactly what role, if any, Humanson’s spools may have played in the final design of the rock bit is impossible to determine today.”

- The Ball and SAG mill commissioning has been completed and, in preparation for production, ore was introduced into the process plant milling circuit with all the CIL tanks filled and agitators commissioned.

Developments included a lighter tower, replacement of steel feed with stronger and lighter aluminium feed, improvements to the air system, changes to the cooling system and break out table, an improved engine uptake as well as a stronger compressor. Booysen Bore was also influential in the move from cable back to chain feed.

Circumcision predates human history, with evidence of MC from art forms of the Upper Paleolithic period in Europe (38,000 to 11,000 years BCE) [6]. Rather than arising independently in diverse cultures globally [7], the practice more logically arose prior to the migration of Homo sapiens out of Africa [8]. If it had no survival advantage, it is unlikely that it would have persisted, and, as hypothesized by Cox & Morris, subsequent cessation of MC in some populations was perhaps a result of behavioral changes caused by environmental stressors or new religious philosophies such as Hinduism and Buddhism [8]. Such factors could explain why circumcision is relatively low in European, South and Central America, southern Africa, and non-Muslim Asian countries.

Mutual funds, NPS, PPF, EPF and VPF are popular options. Evaluate them carefully, create a suitable asset …

Similar doubts surround India’s scheme to “interlink” 37 rivers through a network of 15,000km of canals, the ultimate aim being, as in China, to move water from well-endowed regions—such as some of the Himalayan foothills in the north—to areas of scarcity. The plan has been discussed for decades. The current government has tried to give it fresh impetus. But even if it forges a political consensus in Delhi behind the plan, it would be hard to realise because of tensions between different states over water.

In the meantime, the area will be supplied with a mixture of water from Ennerdale and local boreholes.

Woskov, a senior research engineer at MIT’s Plasma Science and Fusion Center (PSFC), is using a gyrotron, a specialized radio-frequency (RF) wave generator developed for fusion research, to explore how millimeter RF waves can open holes through hard rock by melting or vaporizing it. Penetrating deep into hard rock is necessary to access virtually limitless geothermal energy resources, to mine precious metals, or explore new options for nuclear waste storage. But it is a difficult and expensive process, and today’s mechanical drilling technology has limitations. Woskov believes that powerful millimeter-wave sources could increase deep hard rock penetration rates by more than ten times at lower cost over current mechanical drilling systems, while providing other practical benefits.

To wit, the DCO have spent the last decade drilling boreholes up to 2.5 kilometres (1.6 miles) deep into the seafloor, and 5 kilometres (3.1 miles) deep into the continental crust, to see what they could find. After taking countless samples from hundreds of sights all over the world, they have put everything together in this remarkable new paper and, to the best of anyone’s abilities, come up with approximations and mathematical models that explain what lies below.

The scanner then picks up an angular object, one that could be an anchor. If it is indeed an anchor, and from prior to 1795 when the Money Pit was discovered, it could help solve the Oak Island mystery. In the end the team conclude that they definitely saw some anomalies, and are eager to see what transpires once the data is processed. If the data yields promising information, the next step is to put a diver in the water.

The team hopes to collect Antarctic bedrock and measure radioactive isotopes such as beryllium-10 in it. This form of the element, formed by the reaction of cosmic rays with nitrogen and oxygen atoms, decays at a steady rate. So measuring how much of the isotope is in the rock now can reveal when the rocks were last uncovered by ice and exposed to the atmosphere, providing another window into the southernmost continent’s climatic past.
