The UK government has proposed new rules regarding rights to access land in a bid to speed up the introduction of fracking.

It proposes that shale oil and gas companies are granted access to land below 300m from the surface.

It also suggests firms pay £20,000 per well to those living above the landvacuum tube.

The consultation comes as a new report by the British Geological Survey (BGS) estimates there are 4.4bn barrels of oil in shale rocks in southern England.

The BGS estimates there are between 2.2 billion and 8.6 billion barrels of shale oil in the Weald Basin - that covers areas including Sussex, Hampshire, Surrey and Kent - but says there is "no significant gas resource".

These figures represent the total amount of oil in the rocks, only some of which can be accessed

"It is not known what percentage of the oil present in the shale could be commercially extracted," the survey said補牙.  

Actor Michael Jace, who played a police officer in the TV series "The Shield," was charged with murder on Thursday in the shooting death of his wife in their Los Angeles home.
Jace, 51, appeared in court briefly and spoke just once to confirm that he wanted his arraignment delayed until a June 18 hearing.
Bail was set at $2 million. If convicted, the actor could face 50 years to life in state prison tom ford sale.
April Jace, 40, was shot multiple times and found dead Monday in a hallway of the family home in the modest Hyde Park neighborhood.
The couple's two sons, both under 10, were in the house during the attack, but police said it was unclear if they had seen the attack. They have been placed with relatives.
Defense attorney Jason O. Sias declined to comment on specifics regarding the allegations against Jace but said the actor was thinking of his children.

Jace called the emergency dispatcher, said he'd shot his wife and was at the home when officers arrived, police Detective Dean Vinluan has said.
Vinluan said there had been no reports of domestic violence at the home. However, the actor had been under financial pressure in recent years. He declared for bankruptcy in 2011 and had been delinquent on payments as recently as December.
Jace is best known for his role as LAPD Officer Julien Lowe in "The Shield." He also appeared on the show "Southland" and had small roles in the movies "Planet of the Apes," ''Boogie Nights" and "Forrest Gump ."
April Jace worked as a financial aid adviser at Biola University, a private Christian school. She had two sons with Jace and another son from a previous marriage, and had worked as a school teacher 韓國劇集在中國的火熱.  

As food is to the body, so is learning to the mind. Our bodies grow and muscles develop with the intake of adequate nutritious food. Likewise, we should keep learning day by day to maintain our keen mental power and expand our intellectual capacity.
Constant learning supplies us with inexhaustible fuel for driving us to sharpen our power of reasoning, analysis, and judgment.
Learning incessantly is the surest way to keep pace with the times in the information age, and reliable warrant of success in times of uncertainty.

Once learning stops, vegetation sets in. It is a common fallacy to regard school as the only workshop for the acquisition of knowledge. On the contrary, learning should be a never-ending process, from the cradle to the grave.
With the world changing so fast, to cease learning for just a few days will make a person lag behind.
What's worse, the animal instinct dormant deep in our sub-conscious will come to life 樓宇套現.
Weakening our will to pursue our noble ideas, undermining our determination to sweep away obstacles to our success and strangling our desire for the refinement of our character. Lack of learning will inevitably lead to the stagnation of the mind, or even worse, its fossilization .
Therefore, to stay mentally young, we have to take learning as a lifelong career designer sunglasses clearance.
  

A triptych by Francis Bacon of his longtime companion is poised to sell for about $80 million at Christie's as the spring art auction season revs up with sales of postwar and contemporary works.

A provocative image by Andy Warhol of the 1963 Birmingham, Alabama, race riots and a seminal painting by Jean-Michel Basquiat of a regal warrior figure are among other big-ticket items coming up for sale Tuesday evening.

Bacon's "Three Studies for a Portrait of John Edwards" was executed in 1984 and comes on the market a year after Christie's sold his 1969 "Three Studies of Lucian Freud" for $142.4 million, setting a world record for the most expensive artwork ever sold at auction Speed Dating
Dating Service.

Bacon, who died in 1992, named Edwards his sole heir. Edwards oversaw the British artist's archives until his death in 2003. The three-panel work shows him in a relaxed pose sitting on a stool with his right leg crossed over his left knee.

Christie's says it is one of the greatest paintings from the artist's late period.  

kgienk245gew As the girls were born, doctors held them up over a sheet so that Thistlewaite and her husband could see them. The newborns were holding hands.

"I didn't think they would come out and instantly holding hands. It was overwhelming. I can't even put into words," Thistlewaite said. "There wasn't a dry eye in the whole OR."

Although the girls were born healthy, Thistlewaite said Saturday they had some breathing problems, so they were moved to the neonatal unit at Akron Children's Hospital. Today Thistlewaite will get to celebrate Mother's Day by introducing her daughters to their older brother for the first time.

"It's the first time that we'll all be together in one room," Thistlewaite said.  

4gewe3g6edge may sound like the kind of mind control seen in sci-fi film Avatar, but scientists working on a cure for paralysis have successfully used the thoughts of one monkey to control the movement of another.

The study's co-author, Maryam Shanechi of elyze Cornell University's School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, said: We demonstrate that a subject can control a paralysed limb purely with its thoughts.'

The discovery 'could have the potential to help paralysed patients regain control of their own limbs,' she added.

The master had a brain chip implanted that could monitor the activity of up to 100 neurons.

During training, the physical actions of the monkey were matched up with the patterns of electrical activity in the neurons.

The avatar had 36 electrodes implanted in the spinal cord and tests were performed to see how stimulating different combinations of electrodes affected movement.

The two monkeys were then hooked up so that elyze the brain scans in one controlled movements in real time in the other.

A computer then decoded and relayed neural signals between the two.

The first monkey, dubbed the 'master', was restrained in a special chair in front of a computer screen showing a cursor and a green circle alternating between two spots.

The second animal, or 'avatar', was fully sedated in a separate enclosure with its arm strapped to a 360-degree joystick.

This joystick was used to move the cursor, and chase the circular target, on the screen in front of the 'master.'

As the 'master' thought of moving the cursor, its brain signals were decoded to determine which of the two targets it had in mind.

This data was relayed in real-time to the spinal cord of the sleeping avatar, whose arm manipulated the joystick accordingly.

Every time the cursor hit its target, the master received a squirt of juice as reward.

In 98% of tests, the master could correctly control the avatar's arm .

One of the researchers said: "The goal is to take people with brain stem or spinal cord paralysis and bypass the injury .

"The hope is ultimately to get completely natural movement, I think it's theoretically possible, but it will require an exponential additional effort to get to that point ."
