North Sea Gas Leak: Total Aims To Kill Leaking Elgin Well (VIDEO)

By Muriel Boselli and Karolin Schaps
PARIS, April 1 (Reuters) - British authorities are expected to grant French oil company Total permission in the next few days to kill its leaking Elgin well in the North Sea, industry sources said on Sunday.
Total wants to launch two processes in parallel to stop the gas leak from the well - which is emitting potentially explosive gas - but cannot proceed without a green light from Britain's Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
If Total passes a risk assessment by the HSE it can then proceed with stopping the leak.
"Authorisation for both options should land early next week, perhaps on Monday," one of the sources said.
Commenting on the risk assessment, an HSE spokesman said: "That process is ongoing. I cannot comment on timelines."
In the first process Total will inject drilling mud to kill the leaking well, although this remains a risky option as human intervention on the platform would be necessary.
The second process involves digging two relief wells, which could take six months and cost up to $3 billion.
Total CEO Christophe De Margerie said on Saturday a flare near the drilling platform went out without intervention, reducing the threat of explosion at a massive gas leak.
The flare had been lit as part of Total's response to a gas leak at the platform off Scotland's east coast, in order to relieve pressure in the well.
Located about 100 metres away from the rig, the flare raised fears of a massive explosion were it to ignite the natural gas that has been leaking for a week below the platform.
While Total had dismissed the risk of a blast, one engineering consultant warned that Elgin could become "an explosion waiting to happen."
The leak is spewing an estimated 200,000 cubic metres of natural gas into the air per day, forming a highly explosive gas cloud around the platform.
It began after pressure rose in a well that had earlier been capped.
Total evacuated its 238 platform workers, and set up a two-mile exclusion zone for safety reasons, with fire-fighting ships on standby.
A senior union official said on Friday that Total had repeatedly assured workers a leak was impossible until just hours before evacuating them.

Minnesota Senate passes GOP tax relief measures

The Minnesota Senate has passed a bill to reduce and eventually eliminate the state's property tax on business and give an income tax break to married couples.

The Senate passed the GOP-sponsored bill Friday on a party-line vote of 34-26. Republicans say reducing the tax burden on businesses is the best way to improve the state's climate for creating jobs, but Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton says property tax relief should be shared by homeowners.

"What is does is it takes the property tax that businesses pay into the state and they can use that in their business to expand, hire people, whatever," District 21 Sen. Gary Dahms, R-Redwood Falls, said Friday. "It also makes it more attractive for businesses to come to Minnesota because they would not have that tax obligation to the state."

Dayton's proposal to give businesses direct tax credits to create jobs has not won favor with Republicans.

The Senate's tax relief would cost the state about $100 million in tax revenue. The bill's sponsor, Sen. Julianne Ortman, says she wants to cover that by cutting state administrative costs and dipping into budget reserves.

How to Deal with Naughty Kids - Education - EzineMark

When it comes to dealing with naughty kids, parents and school teachers have to play a tuff task and needs extreme patience to deal with those kinds of children. Naughty kids are those who feel good in doing wrong things. These kids repeat mistakes or do things which parents and teachers have told them not to do. Naughty children are those who deliberately ignore the authority of parents or teachers. Naughty children are also called disobedient children.

They are never repentant or say sorry for their mistakes. Dealing with such type of kids really needs patience for parents and teachers as well. While dealing with such kids, parents should remember that physical punishment is not the solution for them. Giving punishment to kids can lead them into some type of aggression or any negative feature.

Instead of giving them punishment, parents or teachers should explain these kids that their behaviors are disruptive and can harm the society and put forward how they should behave.

Looking at other side of these kids, it is said that naughty kids are smart and intelligent. These kinds pick up the things very fast than others. There are other categories of children who are only naughty in the school but not at home or any other public place. These kids are often seen bulling other students in their class rooms and making their teacher?s life like hell. There are some teachers who know very well how to handle and control such type of kids.

Teachers have great experience dealing with naughty children, so if parents find hard to control their child?s craziness they can discuss with teacher and the find an appropriate solution to deal with.

Parents needs continue to identity the child?s naughtiness as they grow up and deal with it in proper way for child?s future. It is very difficult to say that what could be the reason behind kids being naughty but most of the time children?s behavior depends on their parents. It also depends where they belong to because children pick up behavior from people at home. Home is the only place after school where children learn good behavior, for instance if anyone uses bad language at home, children pick from them and than use in school or wherever they go. So parents need to be careful while using foul language at home or in front of children. Talking in a brooder way every child is naughty in its own ways. Being naughty is not bad all the time, sometime it is also good to be naughty.

These days it is also seen that most of the kids are naughty than some years ago. One of the main reasons for children being naughty could be that parents are busy these days with work and have neglected any attempt to bring up their children. Another possible reason for children being naughty could be that sometimes parents do not pay attention nor give importance to kids which lead them into doing naughty things or feel left alone. In simple terms all kids are image of the god so handle their naughtiness with love and care.

What Will Windows 8 Touchscreen Laptops Look Like?

The Windows 8 Metro touch-friendly interfaceWindows 8?s touch-centric interface will help to usher in a new wave of laptops with tabletlike touchscreens. To make it easier for users to tap and swipe on even superthin Ultrabooks, laptop makers will break out of the traditional clamshell shape and introduce laptops with more unusual designs.

What will these new Windows 8 hybrid laptops look like? The new operating system will make rotating, sliding, and flipping possible on Windows laptops. Here are a few examples of existing hardware designs that offer a taste of what a laptop with Windows 8 capabilities could do.

Going Beyond the Clamshell

Although laptop manufacturers could simply add a touchscreen to a laptop without changing the traditional clamshell shape, that could pose a few problems, especially in the case of the new category of superthin Windows laptops, Ultrabooks.

When trying to interact with the thin touchscreen panel on an Ultrabook, you could easily end up pushing the screen down. And according to DigiTimes, laptop manufacturers can?t just strengthen the hinge to compensate, because that could cause the bottom of the lightweight laptop to flip up when you press the screen. Aside from the physics problem, reaching over the keyboard for extended periods of time with the screen at an angle might not be ideal for users from a usability or ergonomics standpoint.

Thankfully, we?ve seen many innovative laptop designs that manufacturers could adopt successfully for Windows 8.

Convertible Tablet Design

Fujitsu Lifebook T580Convertible tablet PCs, such as the Fujitsu Lifebook T580, have screens that rotate 180 degrees and fold flat to work in tablet mode. Since their introduction about a decade ago, convertible tablet PCs have never really taken off outside of niche business and student circles, owing to their bulky size and high cost.

Windows 8 convertible PCs, however, will likely be not only much sleeker but also much more budget-friendly than previous tablet PCs--ditching optical drives and arcane, expensive pen-optimized displays. Relatively thin Ultrabooks with rotating touchscreens could take advantage of the finger-friendly Windows Metro interface like a slate, but then could transform back into laptop mode.

Fold-Over Design

Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga The Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga presents another possible design solution. This 0.67-inch-thick Ultrabook, not yet available, flips back 360 degrees on a pair of double hinges. Propped up on a table like a tent, the Yoga will resist toppling over when you use touch apps, and it will offer an ideal viewing and tapping angle. The Yoga can also flip into other positions.

The Yoga?s fold-over design is a newer concept than the convertible/rotating screen. How the fold-over design actually feels and works remains to be seen; the Yoga is expected to be released later this year. Still, it?s an innovative and viable option that other laptop makers could adopt.

Sliding Screen Design

Laptops may also take design inspiration from smartphones, with keyboards that slide out from underneath the touchscreen.

Samsung TX100One example of a model with a sliding screen was the Samsung TX100, which debuted at CES 2011. This slim tablet PC was reminiscent of the MacBook Air but had a keyboard that slid out from beneath its screen just as the original Android G1 smartphone keyboard did. After its introduction at CES, the TX100 was due to go on sale in spring 2011--in Europe, at least. However, that never happened.

Another example of a sliding design is the Asus Eee Pad Slider, even though it?s an Android tablet rather than a laptop. PCWorld?s review of the 10-inch Eee Pad Slider found the design to be effective, with the display sufficiently tilted and sturdy for touch navigation.

Docking Station Design

Perhaps the most versatile option is the docking station design, in which tablets slide into a docking station (or connect to one wirelessly) to create a hybrid laptop of sorts.

Android tablets--in particular, the Asus Transformer Prime and the more recent Lenovo IdeaTab K2--lead the way here. While those devices are technically tablets that connect to docking stations to become more laptoplike, you can find Windows tablets with laptoplike specs and docking stations.

Samsung Series 7 tabletFor example, the Samsung Series 7 tablet boasts the same hardware specs as Samsung's Series 7 laptops, but in a thin and small tablet form. The Windows 7 slate comes with an Intel Core i3 or i5 processor, a solid-state drive, and 4GB of RAM. The docking station extends the tablet?s capabilities with a wireless keyboard and more ports for full laptoplike functionality. A Windows 8 version is in the works.

Windows 8 laptop manufacturers considering incorporating touchscreens could perhaps go this route, offering the best of both worlds by making tablets as powerful as laptops with keyboard docking stations. After all, Microsoft wants Windows 8 to be the ?everywhere operating system? for all devices--good on tablets, laptops, smartphones, and everything else, whatever shape or form they come in.

Are you looking forward to Windows 8 touchscreen devices? Let us know in the comments.
