Chinese woman suffers pancreatitis after 6-day starvation, binge-eating once weekly

A 25-year-old woman in China has been diagnosed with acute pancreatitis after she followed an extreme weight-loss regime which consisted of eating once a week and hardly eating a thing for the remaining six days. The woman, who uses the alias Qingqing and lives in Hangzhou, eastern Zhejiang province, is 1.55m tall. She previously weighed 55kg, the Xinmin Evening News reported. However, months ago, she made a rigorous plan to get slimmer. This involved eating little for six days a week and...

Can Hong Kong cash in on ecotourism without trashing its natural treasures?

A sea of 500 tents covered the white sands of remote Ham Tin Wan in Sai Kung during a recent holiday, turning one of Hong Kong’s most scenic beaches into a makeshift campsite for crowds of overnight visitors. Some of the campers had joined tours from mainland China for the Labour Day “golden week” holiday, sleeping in rows of identical tents and gathering around camping tables for hotpot dinners, with ingredients hauled across the border by their guides. By morning, the sink in the beach’s only.

U.S. To Build Its First Ever Floating LNG Export Terminal

Over the past couple of years, the United States has established itself as the world's largest exporter of liquefied natural gas (LNG), with an operational liquefaction capacity of ~15.4 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d). It’s home to nine large-scale operating LNG export terminals and more than 170 smaller, localized LNG facilities across the country used for domestic storage and peak-demand supply. And while it has traditionally favored building massive onshore liquefaction plants to make use

The ECB interest rate move could be a historic mistake

The skeptics' core argument is that current inflation is not the result of overheated demand, but rather the result of an external supply shock. Higher interest rates will neither make oil cheaper nor resolve geopolitical deadlocks in the Middle East while the US and Iran are still struggling to reach a peace agreement. On the contrary, they only increase costs for consumers, which further burdens the economy. submitted by /u/IntrepidWolverine517 [link] [comments]

Rotterdam's Growing Oil Storage Fraud Problem Is Costing Traders Millions

The port of Rotterdam has seen, in recent years, increasingly sophisticated attempts by fraudsters to scam millions of dollars out of traders by paper fraud, offering non-existent oil storage at one of the world’s biggest oil hubs. The frauds, using fake documents and fraudulent websites, lure traders to pay for oil storage that simply doesn’t exist at the Port of Rotterdam. The scams have been running for about 15 years, the Port of Rotterdam Authority has estimated, and has created a special t

Iraq's Energy Sector Faces Its Most Important Test in Decades

Iraq’s oil sector has been discussed over the last few years primarily through the lens of production figures, OPEC quotas and reserve estimates. The latter, however, is no longer sufficient or even appropriate, as today’s story is no longer only oil. The current focus should be on a struggle over sovereignty, state authority, regional geopolitics and economic survival. The coming months will prove decisive for the future of Iraq’s hydrocarbon sector. The government in Baghdad is currently attem

Big Tech's Private Power Plants Will Drive Up Your Energy Bill, Experts Warn

As urged by President Donald Trump, tech companies are starting to build power plants alongside their new data center campuses to provide their own energy. The Trump administration has promised that this approach will help to shield ratepayers from skyrocketing power prices as data centers move into the neighborhood, but experts contend that it will do the opposite. As data centers continue to rapidly increase in number and size thanks to the artificial intelligence boom, the amount of energy ne

The Reliability Crisis Utilities Don't Want to Talk About

What are the optics? AI centers are gobbling up power production, transmission space, and water. Transmission line expansion at a pitiable pace. A rush to build enough power plants. Forest fires burn lines and vice versa. The Trump administration plans to solve power shortages by cancelling windmill projects and subsidizing coal-fired power plants. (Why not quash the sales of electric vehicles by subsidizing horses? Just a question.) And, of course, in the meantime, pictures of utility executive

US targets Cuba oil giant as China and Havana deepen party ties

The move came hours after senior Chinese and Cuban officials held a video conference to discuss bilateral cooperation and party-to-party ties. According to statements released by Chinese and Cuban officials, the talks involved Liu Haixing, head of the International Department.

Help me with stock question

I was recently awarded stock in my company as an equity award. It was 15k total, vesting 1/3 a year for the next 3 years. I was awarded the stock in March. My first vesting date is in December. The stock has literally doubled in value since then and is now approaching 30k. Assuming this held, I would pull out 10k for my first third. What taxes will I pay on that? I'm assuming capital gains? Do I have to pay taxes on the original 10k as well? Or only the gains? My bracket is the 25% I believe sub

Nvidia denies Latin America role in chip smuggling as US-China AI rivalry reaches Brazil

Nvidia’s top executive for Latin America denied on Wednesday that the region has served as a corridor for restricted chips into China, weeks after Anthropic, the American maker of the Claude AI models, alleged that Chinese labs had relied partly on smuggled processors to drive recent advances. Speaking at Web Summit Rio at a moment of intensifying rivalry between Washington and Beijing over artificial intelligence, Marcio Aguiar acknowledged that the pressure on export controls is real enough to

Britain’s Electric Vehicle Market Is Booming as Fuel Prices Climb

Brits are racing to get their hands on electric vehicles after a surge in oil prices triggered by the war in Iran has driven away demand for petrol and diesel cars, one of the UK’s biggest used car supermarkets has said. London-listed Motorpoint, which has seen its shares jump on the back of bumper profits, said it had seen a more than doubling of sales for EVs in recent months in a “watershed moment” for the future of the car industry. Motorpoint chief executive Mark Carpenter told City AM: “EV
