In the back of Daddy Dave’s Edmond, Oklahoma shop sits the remains of the original Goliath Nova after experiencing an accident on the strip. Although the tattered contortion of twisted metal is useless as a road car (much less a racecar), Daddy Dave lets it hang around as a parts car for the occasional one-off piece that may be necessary for the new Nova – Goliath 2.0 – or possibly as a reminder of what could have been that fateful August 2015 day. The new Goliath features a carbon fiber-titanium floor and Optic Armor glass – and a 632cid, big-block race motor from TRE Racing Engines to cap the focal-point of its existence.

It’s a Frankenstein like you’ve never seen before, and even when guys try – the results are usually dismal. In this case, however, progress appears to be well underway as two 1JZ Supra motors are married together (and acting more like cylinder heads with cylinder heads) and it doesn’t look like there’s going to be much room for disappointment when this one’s finished. The sheer technical prism of challenges is obviously amplified in complexity by the multiplication of moving components. But even if this build did nothing, it’s still awesome to see somebody take a go at it. This is the “spirit of hot rodding” at its finest.

The company said sales of Mincon-manufactured products rose by 26 per cent or €11 million last year. Revenue from the group’s down-the-hole (DTH) hammer represented 52 per cent of group turnover, down from 59 per cent in 2014.Sales of reverse circulation (RC), horizontal directional drilling (HDD) and rotary product combined represented 20 per cent of overall revenues, up from 18 per cent last year.

While MC protects against numerous conditions and infections, in the case of HIV, in locations where HIV prevalence is high and MC rates are low, increasing adult MC should be regarded as an urgent objective, while increasing infant MC should be an important objective. In populations where HIV prevalence is still low and MC rates are low, increasing infant MC should be a priority.

In the case of an air attack of the U.S. forces in southern Somalia at least 52 militants of the Islamist terrorist militia Al military information-Shabaab have been killed. The American military came, therefore, Somali troops to help, their base was attacked in the Morning by “a large group” of the Sunni fundamentalists. In the case of the air attack in the vicinity of the place Dschibil in the Region of Middle Juba, no civilians were harmed, more reported the U.S. armed forces. The information could not be confirmed independently.

Sportsmail’s verdict: 5th – the Tigers have got to miss out on the top four one year, and with half of their stellar backline off on international duty for large parts of the season, this could be another year of transition. Cue a knowing shrug from the Edinburgh director of rugby if they do not make the playoffs…

Gamebreaker: Christian Wade – if he played for any other nation… we know how it goes. The best finisher in the league by miles, Wade has 68 tries in the Premiership – and he’s only 26. He will become the first ever to break 100 in any major domestic league in a couple of years. Simply devastating.

Negative emissions can be thought of as a form of time travel. Ever since the Industrial Revolution, human societies have produced an excess of CO₂, by taking carbon stores from deep inside the earth — in the form of coal, oil and gas — and from stores aboveground (mostly wood), then putting it into the atmosphere by burning it. It has become imperative to reverse the process — that is, take CO₂ out of the air and either restore it deep inside the earth or contain it within new surface ecosystems. This is certainly easier to prescribe than achieve. “All of negative emission is hard — even afforestation or reforestation,” Sally Benson, a professor of energy-resources engineering at Stanford, explains. “It’s not about saying, ‘I want to plant a tree.’ It’s about saying, ‘We want to plant a billion trees.’ ” Nevertheless, such practices offer a glimmer of hope for meeting future emissions targets. “We have to come to grips with the fact that we waited too long and that we took some options off the table,” Michael Oppenheimer, a Princeton scientist who studies climate and policy, told me. As a result, NETs no longer seem to be just interesting ideas; they look like necessities. And as it happens, the Climeworks machines on the rooftop do the work each year of about 36,000 trees.

The inserts are a mixed bag in 2015 Topps Football. First, there are a ton and only a handful are memorable. Among the standouts, Past and Present Performers pairs two players from different eras that share the same team and normally the same position. The current players are on the front with a modern design and the back houses the retired players with a retro design. I think I would have preferred the “Past” player to be first, but otherwise, the card works well.

Climeworks perceives a large market for fuels, too. In a town near Zurich called Rapperswil-Jona, the firm has installed a collector in a small plant, run by the local technical university, to produce methane. In a room about the size of a shipping container, the Climeworks machine takes in CO₂ through an air duct and sends it through a maze of pipes to combine it with hydrogen, which is derived from water using solar power. When I visited, the plant was a few weeks away from being operational, but the methane coming out of the works could replace gasoline in the engine of just about any car, bus or truck outfitted to run on natural gas. At a larger plant in Italy, Climeworks recently joined a consortium of European countries to produce synthetic methane that will be used by a local trucking fleet. With different tweaks and refinements, the process could be adapted for diesel, gasoline, jet fuel — or it could be piped directly to local neighborhoods as fuel for home furnaces.
