“I believe all fuels will be made in this way, and we won’t be using fossil fuels anymore at all. Zero continued its foray into motorsport in April, linking up with 2B Autosport to become the first synthetic fuel partner in rally car racing. Zero PetroleumZero could perhaps seek to emulate P1 Fuels, a synthetic fuel firm that is already an established player in the industry. Porsche announced this year that the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup – a one-make stock car series – would run exclusively on synthetic fuels produced at the Haru Oni plant. In addition, some experts suggest that electric power, a significantly cheaper alternative to synthetic fuels, would be a much more efficient way of decarbonizing the sport than synthetic fuel.

EC Comics, which specialized in tales of horror, crime and suspense, and was shut down in the “moral panic” of the 1950s, is making a comeback. Oni Press will publish two new anthology series under the EC Comics banner. The first, Epitaphs From the Abyss, coming in July, will be horror focused; Cruel Universe, the second, arrives in August and will tell science fiction stories. Hunter Gorinson, the president and publisher of Oni Press, said the new stories will interpret the world of today, much as EC Comics explored the American psyche of the 1950s. Gary Groth, the editor of The Comics Journal, told The New York Times in 2013 that EC Comics was “arguably the best commercial comics company in the history of the medium.”

Chichi, a member of HerRyde, a ride-hailing app with exclusively women drivers, smiles as she drives off in her car in Abuja, Nigeria September 4, 2022. Shakir, 31, is among thousands of Nigerians hailing rides using mobile apps, but her car has something unusual: a female driver. She said the trip on HerRyde, a ride-hailing app with exclusively women drivers that launched in August, set her mind at ease. Some male drivers, she said, would chat inappropriately or even made her feel as though they might attack her. "We don't want cases where women have to be on their toes or on the edge when they are using ride-hailing services," she said.

More than 1,600 books were banned in over 5,000 schools during the last school year, with most of the bans targeting titles related to the LGBTQ community or race and racism, according to a new report. PEN America, a nonprofit that advocates for free expression in literature, released a report Monday, the start of Banned Books Week, that shows the sweeping scope of efforts to ban certain books during the 2021-22 school year. Books were banned in 5,049 schools with a combined enrollment of nearly 4 million students in 32 states, the report found. Friedman pointed to a case in Walton County, Florida, where a popular children’s book called “Everywhere Babies” landed on a banned books list last spring. The most frequently banned books were “Gender Queer: A Memoir,” by Maia Kobabe, followed by “All Boys Aren’t Blue,” by George M. Johnson and “Out of Darkness” by Ashley Hope Pérez, the report found.

☆ «Они не говорили, что их будут пытать в Турции». Как молдавские власти объяснили ЕСПЧ высылку турецких учителей
▼ + stars: | 2018-10-31 | by ( ) newsmaker.md time to read: +6 min

Напомним, пятеро из семи депортированных просили в Молдове политического убежища из страха, что их заставят вернуться на родину. ЕСПЧ начал рассматривать дело высланных из Молдовы граждан Турции на следующий день после их депортации, 7 сентября. Позже этот документ запросило адвокатское бюро Nagacevschi și Partenerii, которое и обратилось в ЕСПЧ от имени пяти из семи высланных турецких граждан. В день высылки ни семьи турецких учителей, ни они сами не знали, что им предстоит, и не понимали, что будет дальше. Родственники и правозащитники уверены, что на родине турецких учителей ждут пытки и жестокое обращение.
