The number of Minnesota Xcel Energy customers without power is down to about 60,000 after weekend storms, the utility said early Monday.
Xcel crews have been working for days to restore power after severe thunderstorms swept through Minnesota and western Wisconsin from Friday to early Sunday.
More than 550,000 Xcel Energy customers were affected at the peak of outages. By 7 a.m. Monday the number was down to just above 59,000.

FULL CHARGE IN 90 SECONDS

“There are people that take a lot of convincing,” Elon Musk said. “Hopefully, this is what will finally convince people that electric cars are the future.”

Model S is designed to allow a fast battery swap, exchanging your battery for a fully charged battery in less than half the time it takes to refill a gas tank. This offers Model S drivers another, even faster option when recharging while driving long distances. | Tesla Motors

Earlier this year, Tesla Motors Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk unveiled a nationwide network of super-fast charging stations to refuel the company’s all-electric sedans on long-distance trips. The really nice thing about these charging stations is that they’re free. Free! The downside is that they take about 30 minutes to put 200 miles’ worth of charge back into the car. That might not seem like a horribly long time, but it’s long enough for critics of electric cars to argue that they’re not well-suited for long journeys, and so not that practical.

Well, Tesla took a major stride toward getting rid of that downside last night.

Mecca, MERS and World War Z.

Posted on by
 

world_war_z

In case you didn’t know.
The Islamic religion’s holiest city of Mecca (also known as Mekka or Makkah) is located in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Its importance as a holy city for Muslims harks back to it being the birthplace of the founder of Islam, Mohammed
One of the five “pillars of faith,” the Hajj is a duty upon every Muslim adult who is financially and physically able to make the journey. Every Muslim, male or female, strives to make the trip at least once in a lifetime.
During the days of the Hajj, millions of pilgrims will gather in Makkah, Saudi Arabia to pray together, eat together, remember historical events, and celebrate the glory of Allah.
This years Hajj is expected to fall between October 13-18, 2013.
There is a very great concern about this year’s Hajj due to the presence of the corona virus that’s killed 60% of the patients who become infected with the virus. Of the 55 people worldwide who’ve become infected with the virus, it’s killed 31 of them. Forty of those cases occurred in Saudi Arabia,

EDC Tool Review: Cardsharp 2 by Iain Sinclair

Efficient, Featherlight EDC Survival Tool

Review by Iain Sinclair:

Cardsharp 2 packs a razor in a credit card package

Cardsharp 2

Do you favour preparedness (in the form of a knife) but lack pockets to spare? Iain Sinclair’s impossibly thin and light Cardsharp 2 takes up but a card slot in your wallet, yet contorts to reveal a 3 inch surgical stainless steel blade that’s legal virtually everywhere. We wouldn’t recommend hunting with a Cardsharp, but one thing’s certain: this knife’s bound to be with you when you need it (hopefully limited to opening letters).

Another contaminated water leak at Japan's Fukushima nuclear plant
Reuters - 5 hrs ago

TOKYO (Reuters) - The operator of the wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant said it had found another leak of contaminated water on Wednesday, piling pressure on the utility to curb the problem as it seeks permission to release water to the sea.

The Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power plant was hit by a 9.0 magnitude earthquake and tsunami more than two years ago, triggering nuclear reactor meltdowns and explosions.

Tokyo Electric Power, or Tepco, said a worker patrolling the area spotted the leak just after noon, with droplets of contaminated water leaking out between the tank's circular steel structure.

Shunichi Tanaka, chief of Japan's new nuclear regulator, set up after its predecessor was discredited in the 2011 disaster, told a news conference that Tepco should deal with the problem immediately. But he said the regulator did not regard the matter as serious.

The latest leak was acknowledged after Tepco said earlier this week it had detected radioactive cesium in groundwater flowing into the plant -- overturning an early finding that contamination was negligible.

A spate of similar incidents and power outages plagued the facility in March and April. The incidents represent another setback for the company as it tries to reassure the public and the government that it can manage the problem of tainted water.

The plant's still precarious state also serves as a reminder of the poor management of the worst nuclear accident since Chernobyl in 1986 as Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's government presses ahead with a drive to export Japan's nuclear technology.

The discovery that groundwater is being contaminated before it enters the damaged reactor buildings complicates efforts to persuade local authorities and fishermen that the groundwater is safe enough to be dumped into the ocean.

About 400 metric tons (441 tons) of groundwater flow daily into the reactor buildings only to be mixed with highly contaminated water that comes from cooling the melted fuel.

The government ordered Tepco last week to increase storage capacity of water tanks and construct a wall of frozen earth around the four reactor buildings to stem the flow of groundwater seeping into the plant.

Leaks were found in underground storage pits in April, prompting Tepco to speed up the construction of sturdier above-ground tanks. The leak discovered on Wednesday was from one of the sturdier tanks.

Tepco is also trying to construct a bypass that would route the water away from the plant and into the ocean. That plan requires the agreement of fishermen who oppose plans to dump 100 metric tons of groundwater a day from the plant into the sea.
