That’s unlikely to be the most “extreme” form of life we will ever find, mind you. Apart from that fact that it depends what you mean by extreme, the team also stress that they are still just scratching the, er, subsurface even with the world’s most pioneering drilling techniques and modelling in full swing.

Sportsmail’s verdict: 11th – Battlers like Richard Hibbard, Ed Slater and Jeremy Thrush to keep them up, just. They probably have enough to stay up but a relegation scare could be just the tonic as they rebuild.

There is no visible writing, but what he can infer is that the darker colored bit is an older type of paper, either woven paper or thin cloth, dating to the mid to late 1700s, a date which neatly dovetails with the Oak Island origin story.

Sportsmail’s verdict: 6th – Another middling season for Quins, but European qualification should be achievable. They’ll take some almighty scalps and lose inconceivably at least twice. Watch out for 18-year-old fly-half Marcus Smith – they are very excited about him at the Stoop.

But with this new directive, alcohol brands have been squeezed tight with no medium to advertise themselves as they can’t use television, print, magazine, hoarding or radio. One might wonder what these brands will do next and how will they market themselves in a cluttered AlcoBev sector? Maybe that’s why AlcoBev brands are increasingly shifting their focus on digital advertising as there are no restrictions on the media so far. On digital, these brands can say the narrative they want to, the way they want to.

Balance quality control and production rather than speed when motivating drillers. Otherwise, operators may take shortcuts to gain footage, but compromise safety and overall cost.

AFTER RATTLING into the hillside outside Jerusalem for 7km, the little three-carriage railway reaches the end of the line, some 300 metres underground. The diminishing speck of light at the tunnel’s opening has long vanished altogether. This, for now, is as far as it goes. The German-Austrian contractor will eventually bore about 13.5km. But progress is fitful, depending on the rock being drilled through and whether it will need some artificial strengthening. The drill has already negotiated one large cave, complete with stalactites, which had to be reinforced with concrete. More such obstacles are expected. The contractor works non-stop, but the average progress made by Isabel, as their “double gripper” boring machine has been named, is just 22 metres a day. As its jaws grind into the wall of rock ahead, conveyor belts carry the rubble out to the tunnel’s opening.

After a superb summer of rugby, from England winning in Argentina, to the Lions drawing in New Zealand, and a brilliant Women’s World Cup, it’s time to put away the ice creams – the meat and veg is back.

Watching only gauges can be self-defeating, because, by the time they register an anomaly, something significant already has happened in the ground. Hissem talks of the old days when drill operators were exposed to the heat and cold and dust and noise. “Then we got cabs and old-timers didn’t like it, even though they were more comfortable, because it cut them off from sensory information.” So-called “smart drills” are being developed with onboard intelligence and systems that will separate operators even more from the “feel” of operation. Until such machines dominate drill sites, operators should keep sensing the pulse of their machines. They should actively monitor such things as the flushing action, any pitch changes in the drill string, subtle movements that indicate a change in rock pressure, the size of cuttings, and groundwater. Hissem believes a master driller can fully develop this “sixth sense” in a couple of years.

These questions aside, this study is nothing short of groundbreaking, both literally and scientifically speaking. You can see why some of its contributing authors have given way to poetic, ornate prose when discussing it.

“Our first cut of silage was lighter than usual because of the cold spring,” said Aled. “So too was the second cut due to the dry weather.

An increase in gross profit was more than offset by a 39 per cent rise in operating costs to €18.3 million linked to the seven acquisitions the group carried out between August 2014 and March 2015
