  • Clell Pete, 66, a member of the Goshute Tribe, is measuring the water table at an abandoned water hole near Eight Mile, in the Goshute Reservation of Deep Creek Valley, on the Nevada-Utah border, USA. Clell began measuring it once a week since November 2012, in order to document the development of the water table. As of March 2013, the water table is at 65,11 meters and has only varied by a few centimetres since November 2012. Once the projected water pipeline of South Nevada Water Authority (SNWA) will be built and operated from nearby Spring Valley, the Goshute tribe will be able to measure the acquifers. A considerable drop would also prove the Goshute's assumption is correct, and that in fact the aquifers of Spring Valley and Deep Creek Valley are interconnected: a water withdrawal from Spring Valley would also affect the water supply for nearby Deep Creek Valley, and for the Goshute Reservation.

  • Vernon Watkins, 62, is holding some of the coal extracted from Unity Mine for the first time in 8 years on Tuesday, July 31, 2007, in Cwmgwrach, Vale of Neath, South Wales. The time is ripe again for an unexpected revival of the coal industry in the Vale of Neath due to the increasing prize and diminishing reserves of oil and gas, the uncertainties of renewable energy sources, and the technological advancement in producing energy from coal while limiting emissions of pollutants, has created the basis for valuable investment opportunities and a possible alternative to the latest energy crisis. Unity Mine, in particular, has started a pioneering effort to revive the coal industry in the area, reopening after more than 8 years with the intent of exploiting the large resources still buried underground. Coal could be then answer to both, access to cheaper and paradoxically greener energy and a better and safer choice than nuclear energy as a major supply for the decades to come. It is estimated that coal reserves in Wales amount to over 250 million tonnes, or the equivalent of at least 50 years of energy supply, while the worldwide total coal could last for over 200 years as a viable resource compared to only a few decades of oil and natural gas.

  • The coal is being washed in the Coal Processing Plant at Tower Colliery, the last deep mine in Wales, on Tuesday, June 19, 2007, in Hirwaun, Vale of Neath, South Wales. The time is ripe again for an unexpected revival of the coal industry in the Vale of Neath due to the increasing prize and diminishing reserves of oil and gas, the uncertainties of renewable energy sources, and the technological advancement in producing energy from coal while limiting emissions of pollutants, has created the basis for valuable investment opportunities and a possible alternative to the latest energy crisis. Unity Mine, in particular, has started a pioneering effort to revive the coal industry in the area, reopening after more than 8 years with the intent of exploiting the large resources still buried underground. Coal could be then answer to both, access to cheaper and paradoxically greener energy and a better and safer choice than nuclear energy as a major supply for the decades to come. It is estimated that coal reserves in Wales amount to over 250 million tonnes, or the equivalent of at least 50 years of energy supply, while the worldwide total coal could last for over 200 years as a viable resource compared to only a few decades of oil and natural gas.

  • A cargo train transporting coal from Unity Mine to the biggest power station in Wales, Aberthaw, run by the energy giant nPower, is arriving at the Unity complex to loaded, on Friday, Apr. 13, 2007, in Cwmgwrach, Vale of Neath, South Wales. The time is ripe again for an unexpected revival of the coal industry in the Vale of Neath due to the increasing prize and diminishing reserves of oil and gas, the uncertainties of renewable energy sources, and the technological advancement in producing energy from coal while limiting emissions of pollutants, has created the basis for valuable investment opportunities and a possible alternative to the latest energy crisis. Unity Mine, in particular, has started a pioneering effort to revive the coal industry in the area, reopening after more than 8 years with the intent of exploiting the large resources still buried underground. Coal could be then answer to both, access to cheaper and paradoxically greener energy and a better and safer choice than nuclear energy as a major supply for the decades to come.

  • Judo students are paying homage to an image of Biranchi Das, the recently murdered coach of Budhia Singh, in his former Judo Hall, in Bhubaneswar, the capital of Orissa State, on Saturday, May 17, 2008. On May 1, 2006, Budhia completed a record breaking 65 km run from Jagannath temple, Puri to Bhubaneswar. He was accompanied by his coach Biranchi Das and by the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF). On 8th May 2006, a Government statement had ordered that he stopped running. The announcement came after doctors found the boy had high blood pressure and cardiological stress. As of 13th August 2007 Budhia's coach Biranchi Das was arrested by Indian police on suspicion of torture. Singh has accused his coach of beating him and withholding food. Das says Singh's family are making up charges as a result of a few petty rows. On April 13, Biranchi Das was shot dead in Bhubaneswar, in what is believed to be an event unconnected with Budhia, although the police is investigating the case and has made an arrest, a local goon named Raja Archary, which is now in police custody. **Italy and China Out**
