Forget NFTs. What about the HTF (Hard to Find)? The definition of a luxury problem, according to Olivia Kraus, a lawyer in Mount Vernon, N.Y., is the inability to buy something expensive that one can afford. As such, she has lots. In August 2020, Ms. Kraus ordered a generator through an electrician. It came in January 2021, she said. That month, she went to a Jacuzzi dealer, who told her that she was “in luck,” that they had a Jacuzzi unspoken for arriving in January and two similar models arriving in February. No other hot tub would be available until October 2021. She picked one that could be scheduled to arrive in February. It arrived two weeks ago. Apparently, Ms. Kraus said, “the factory in California was seriously slowed down for social distancing.” All over the United States — or at least, all over the parts of it where people have jobs, disposable income and time to spare — shoppers are encountering the same thing: products that are sold out or on back order. That they are “hard to find,” or HTF in online parlance, naturally increases their desirability, sort of like “hard to get” used to be in relationships. The reason some things are unavailable seems straightforward enough. Millions of people who before the pandemic weren’t at home much spent the last year testing the limits of their clothes dryers, dishwashers and stoves, and their living spaces groaned under the unreasonable demands. Top brands like Viking, Bosch and Miele are all in high demand right now. Dyson’s V8 Vacuum cleaner, lauded for its ability to erase pet hair, was nowhere to be found at the packed Home Depot in Chelsea on a recent Sunday (though it’s now back in stock). The Breville Espresso Descalers from Williams-Sonoma has been another elusive item. Marina Zenovich, a documentarian whose films include “Richard Pryor: Omit the Logic” and “Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired,” picked one out in February. A few weeks later, she opened her computer to a message informing her it would not be coming until late May, citing “temporary delays from our suppliers, vendors and artisans.” At Restoration Hardware in the meatpacking district, a person at the front desk said last week that “most” sofas are still being delivered in 10 to 12 weeks, the normal time frame. But “most” doesn’t include the track arm sofa that Chris Peregrin, the global director of partnerships at the photography agency Magnum, ordered in April. It is due to arrive in early August, thanks to what the person at the front desk said are issues obtaining velvets and Belgian linens. And a salesman at Truemart Fabrics in Chelsea said that it’s just as hard to get silks and cotton prints because there isn’t as much production in the cutting rooms. Break out the tiny violins, right? If you can locate some. Restaurants that offer food to go have a shortage in ketchup packets, the result of both a boom in takeout and the decision by many restaurants not to use bottles of it because of sanitary issues. Never mind that most evidence suggests Covid-19 rarely spreads via contaminated surfaces. Long-battered Heinz stock is on the rise. According to Bloomberg, another toilet paper shortage may be on the way, thanks to drama in the Suez Canal. A global semiconductor shortage has caused spikes in the prices of electronics. Updated May 5, 2021, 7:25 a.m. ET Katie Sturino is the founder of Megababe, a four-year-old company that makes cruelty-free beauty products. She worried at the beginning of the pandemic that the stay-at-home economy could claim her business. The opposite happened. Freed from having to go to the office, perhaps, women began to experiment more with newer, more natural deodorants, just as they did with less structured bras. Sales of Rosy Pits, Megababe’s best-known product, soared, Ms. Sturino said. It’s currently still available at Target, but she’s unable to offer sales through her own website. Dr. Lara Devgan, a plastic surgeon on the Upper East Side, has had a similar experience with her line of skin care products — believing at first that they would be unnecessary, and finding instead that they were sold out. “It’s not only that we’ve been looking at unflattering Zoom angles, watching our Botox wear off and our gray hairs grow in,” she said. “It’s that people are wearing much less makeup than they’ve ever worn before, so they’re taking things into their own hands.” And putting ever fancier timepieces on their wrists. Condominiums in the recently developed Hudson Yards cleared out in the spring and summer of 2020, but traffic at Watches of Switzerland, at 20 Hudson Yards, skyrocketed, according to the company’s C.E.O., Brian Duffy. By the winter, it was nearly impossible to find Rolex sports models there in stainless steel or solid gold. Some of this, Mr. Duffy said, was the result of production delays. Switzerland was shut down for much of the spring. Areas of Rolex’s factories had to be evacuated during Covid outbreaks over the summer and fall. All the while, the stock market soared, leaving high-earning investors with huge amounts of disposable income. Still, Paul Boutros, the head of Phillips Auction House’s U.S. watches division, doesn’t see the possible end of the pandemic as being likely to change things. “I’ll put it this way,” he said. “If you are a regular person trying to buy your first good watch and you choose a Rolex sport watch, a Patek Phillipe Nautilus or a Royal Oak from Audemars Piguet and want to buy it on the spot — I think those days are over.” Currently, Mr. Boutros is waiting on something else: a $4,329 Bull barbecue grill that he ordered from an online dealer in early April and won’t be arriving until July, at the earliest. And Neal Bascomb, the author of biographies on Henry Ford and Walter Chrysler, has seen the renovation of his Philadelphia home grind to a halt because of a spray foam shortage that’s hobbled scores of construction projects in the area. “It seems like a rather odd thing to stop construction, but there you have it,” he said, going on to note similarities between consumption today and consumption during the Roaring Twenties. Both then and now, he said, there was “a crazy stock market,” “easy access to credit,” “scores of new products,” a growing wealth gap and a charismatic and temperamental industrialist, who not only transformed the car business but also became, as a result, arguably the defining technologist of the era. The position of Henry Ford and the Model A, which arrived in 1927 in a multitude of colors and styles is now held by Elon Musk and the Tesla Model 3, which first arrived in 2013 and comes in a multitude of colors and styles. As such, both economies have been defined by consumers buying lots of things, many of which they arguably cannot afford. Yet substantial shortages across a variety of industries didn’t occur during the 1920s, according to A. Scott Berg, the biographer of Woodrow Wilson and Katharine Hepburn, because there was much less dependence on imports than there is today. “During World War I, the United States became a gigantic machine, manufacturing exponentially more than it ever had and producing more food than it ever had, as we began feeding a starving and war-deprived world,” he wrote in an email. Mr. Bascomb pointed out that the United States back then did not rely heavily on products from other countries. “We didn’t have this global shipping system that required semiconductors from Taiwan,” he said. The problem is not likely to abate in the near future, according to John Pitzer, an analyst at Credit Suisse who specializes in semiconductors. “My best guess is that if the economy starts to reopen in the back half of the year and we start to see things really continue to pick up, the supply issues get worse, not better,” he said. How that ends up affecting the economy is “beyond my pay grade,” he said. But Mr. Bascomb had little doubt. “Inflation,” he said. Source link Orbem News #Find #Forget #Hard #HTF #NFTs

HTF: Secret Santa

Pairings: Splendid x Flippy

Warnings: None

AU: Splendad

Splendid was sound asleep, one arm curled around Flippy's waist as he curled up against his boyfriend from behind in a spoon under the blankets. Each slow and soft exhale ruffled messy strands of light green hair as his chin had settled on the top of Flippy's head. It was the night before Christmas and not even a mouse was supposed to be stirring, but in this household, that was a little too much to ask for. The silent night was broken when the door to the bedroom he shared with Flippy was shoved open, banging hard against the doorstop and making Splendid nearly jump out of his skin in surprise. Before he could even sit up, the twins were on him, bouncing excitedly on his bed. It was too much too fast for someone who had been in a deep sleep only seconds before.

He sat up with Shifty and Lifty clinging on him, chattering excitedly, something about Santa. He gazed blearily around to take in the dark room, glancing down by Flippy who seemed too stubborn in his want for sleep to wake up. Instead he had simply pulled Flaky into a cuddle, the little girl having climbed up onto the bed in a more sedate and quiet pace. He wished he could just lay back down but Shifty and Lifty were pulling at his arms, trying to get him up as the hero tried to figure out what in the candy land hell was going on. He lifted up a hand, dragging Lifty who had been clinging to it, to rub at his eyes to get the sleep out of them. They continued to talk, their voices overlapping so it was near impossible to understand what they were trying to tell him, especially when his brain was still captured by the fog of sleep.

"Boys, boys, boys. Calm down, what did I say about all talking at once? One at a time, now what is going on?" Splendid finally broke through their chattering, reaching over to pick up his glasses off the nightstand and slide them on, taking note that it was three in the morning.

"Its Santa!" "We caught him!" "I had the idea to set a trap." "I put out the milk and cookies though!" "Now that Santa's stuck-" "-We can have all the toys in his bag!" Shifty and Lifty took turns talking, far too excited to let the other speak for too long

Splendid groaned and fell back into the mattress, knowing Santa wasn't real, it was likely just some game the twins were playing on him. They probably just heard the house settling or the neighbors partying, good thing he hadn't ran into whatever trap those two had set up. With Flaky's intelligence and the twins' determination to get into trouble, Splendid had frequently been at the other end of their 'games'. It was such a change from his previous life, it seemed so long ago since he'd been living alone in an apartment, repeating the same routine day after day. While the twins were constantly getting into trouble, he couldn't imagine going back to the life before them.

"Daaaad!" "Get up!" "He's too big for us to deal with!" "We need your help tying him up!" "And he keeps saying bad words!" Shifty yanked on Splendid's arm, Lifty was trying to push him up off the mattress at the same time to get him to sit up again.

Splendid paused, bad words? What made them think Santa said bad words unless... Someone was actually in the house. Splendid shot up out of bed, Lifty clinging to his back while Shifty was clinging to his front, panic swelled within him. Someone must have broken into his house, it wasn't uncommon during Christmas sadly. The allure of new, expensive presents drew people to do less than moral things. He quickly detached the twins from his body and set them on the bed, Flippy, who had sensed the sudden disturbance, sat up a bit. "What's going on?" The veteran asked, his voice thick with sleep still.

"Nothing, honey, just lay back down with the kids, alright? I'm going to check something out." He didn't want Flippy to panic, knowing that high stress levels could be dangerous for him. Splendid could handle the intruder, he was a superhero... a retired one. Quietly, he moved out of the room and down the hall, his bare feet quiet on the polished wooden floor. He could see the soft light from the Christmas tree spilling out into the hall from the living room and now he could hear the struggles of someone caught in whatever nefarious trap the kids had created. He supposed it was a good thing his kids had set it up, or else they might not have any Christmas presents to open up in the morning.

Splendid pressed himself flat against the wall beside the open entryway to the living room, he slowly leaned to peer around the corner to gaze into the living room. There was a man on the floor, tangled in a net of Christmas light and struggling to get out, every time he tried to rip the strands apart, he was delivered a shock of electricity from the lights being plugged in. The kids probably got the idea when they had seen Splendid get tangled up in the mess of lights while trying to decorate the outside of the house. Christmas lights were far too frustrating and yet he'd gone ahead and dealt with the headache just to make his kids happy for a month.

The man in the net though, was definitely not Santa Claus, despite the red track suit. He was too slender, with red hair and no beard.

It was his estranged twin brother, Splendont.

Splendid moved in a bit, just enough to lean against the corner of the wall so he could stare at his brother with a smug and amused look. "My my, Santa, you should watch your language in front of the kids." Splendid teased, finally catching Splendont's attention as he stopped squirming to give the blue haired twin a glare that promised retribution.

"What the hell, Splendid. Don't just stand there, get me out of here, you moron." Splendont snapped irritably, sitting up with ropes of Christmas lights wrapped around him. Though he was momentarily blinded by a flash of light, stunning him for a moment. When his vision came too, he spied the two boys peeking out around Splendid with a camera.

"See, dad!" "We told you we caught Santa!" Splendid looked down at the twins, now that it was deemed safe, he didn't mind, plus he wanted a picture of Splendont all tied up as well. That was definitely going to be a good picture to hang up on the wall, especially considering he didn't have a picture of his brother.

"How did you get in? Don't tell me you broke my door." Splendid hadn't heard anything breaking, but he'd been dead asleep. He didn't want to think about having to get a repairmen, they likely didn't work on Christmas day anyways.

"No, I, uh... Came down the chimney." Splendont groused as he began to pull the lights off him in a calmer fashion this time.

"So you really are secretly Santa Claus." Splendid pressed further, pleased to simply see that his brother had finally made it to a holiday for once. It made Splendid wonder why he changed his mind and finally take Splendid up on the invitation. Splendid had sent cards to Splendont every year like clockwork but received nothing in return, so he hadn't expected Splendont to show up at all.He was glad though, he wanted to show Splendont his new family even if his twin wasn't exactly family oriented. Or so he assumed.

As Splendont freed himself, Shifty and Lifty ran to him, jumping in attempts to tackle 'Santa' before he got away. Splendont looked startled and his body went rigid as the twins clamored over him, trying to keep him from escaping. He looked up towards Splendid for help, but the blue haired hero merely shrugged his shoulders helplessly, leaving Splendont to his doom. "Sorry, Santa, maybe you should've brought more presents."

The “Golden Era” for Bitcoin Is Coming After Crucial Weekly Candle Closes Above $9,500

Just a day before Bitcoin’s latest weekly candle closed on Sunday evening, the cryptocurrency made a final push higher, rallying from the low-$9,000s to $9,800. While a small move in dollar terms, it was this final push that allowed BTC to pass a key resistance level, opening Bitcoin to a “golden era” of price action. Bitcoin’s Weekly Candle Was Decisively Bullish: Analysts After failing to surmount a macro downtrend three times over the past two years, Bitcoin managed to crack that same level this week as depicted in the chart below. This technical occurrence holds weight, analysts say, and it may be a precursor to further macro gains. “Honestly, it’s hard to be bearish with a weekly close up here and even if we do get a small pullback on LTF’s I think the next step would be closing the monthly here or higher. HTF I think Q3 & Q4 and 2021 is literally the golden era,” one popular trader said, highlighting the next year to 18 months as a potential “golden era” for the market. Chart from Cactus (@TheCryptoCactus on Twitter), a prominent crypto trader. The sentiment that Bitcoin will be a market graced with gains later this year and next is somewhat common. Simon Peters, an analyst at eToro, unlimited QE and the potential for negative interest rates. that he expects for Bitcoin to trade between $20,000 and $50,000 in the next 18-odd months. Backing this optimistic prediction, Peters cited the macroeconomic turmoil, explaining that Bitcoin is likely to come into play as a hedge against inflation. In a world of “unlimited QE and the potential for negative interest rates,” he added, it is that much more likely the cryptocurrency gains the support of “high-profile names.” Related Reading: Once In a Lifetime Money Printing Strengthens Bitcoin’s Bull Case: Investor Short-Term Pullback Possible Although analysts like the aforementioned see the weekly close as decisively bullish, the asset may be vulnerable to a short-term pullback. Per previous reports from this very outlet, order book data of Bitfinex’s BTC/USD market shared by a popular crypto trader indicates that there is a massive block of orders looking to sell Bitcoin around $10,000 that may be hard to break past. Order book (BTC/USD) screenshot from Majin (@Majinsayan on Twitter), a crypto trader. The data indicates that there is a cluster of resistance from $10,000-10,400 that may be hard for bulls to break past in the coming days and weeks. Bitfinex’s order book suggests that from $9,900 to $10,600, there is ~4,200 Bitcoin worth of sell orders, most of which are clustered around $10,000-10,400. That means on one exchange alone, there is over $40 million worth of sell-side pressure if the cryptocurrency attempts to rally past $10,000. Simultaneously, data from futures exchanges has signaled that while longs are bidding the price aggressively, they’re becoming overextended compared to bears. The funding rate of Bitcoin futures contracts on leading exchanges like BitMEX and OKEx has begun to seriously trend positive, indicative of a market top because that basically means it’s “expensive” to open a long contract compared to a short contract.

Synthetic Lubricants Market Opportunities To Reach $23.45 Billion By 2024: Grand View Research, Inc.

San Francisco, 11 September 2018 - The global synthetic lubricants market is expected to reach USD 23.45 billion by 2024, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The rapidly expanding automotive industry, coupled with rising popularity of synthetic lubricants for automobile applications is projected to propel the market especially in countries such as South Korea, Brazil, and China.

Synthetic lubricants provide numerous benefits when used for automotive applications such as excellent thermal stability and low friction. Rising awareness regarding the advantages of the product, as opposed to its mineral counterparts, will augment industry growth over the forecast period. A major application of synthetic lubricants is their use as heat transfer fluids in heavy machinery and heat exchangers. Rising industrial sector in Asia Pacific countries will propel product demand over the forecast period.

Increasing R&D investment by companies for the introduction and development of improved grades is expected to fuel demand over the next eight years. However, low cost of mineral oils may reduce synthetic oil demand thus hampering industry development over the forecast period. Technological innovations related to anti-slip and flow properties of these products is expected to have a positive impact on the market over the forecast period.

To request a sample copy or view summary of this report, click the link below: https://www.grandviewresearch.com/industry-analysis/synthetic-lubricants-market

Further key findings from the report suggest:

The global synthetic lubricants market demand was around 3,821.8 kilo tons in 2015 and is projected to reach 4,900.1 kilo tons by 2024 growing at a CAGR of 2.8% from 2016 to 2024.

PAO (Group IV) based synthetic lubricants was estimated at over 2,000.0 kilo tons. The compatibility of other mineral oils with synthetic oils is anticipated to be a major driver propelling the market. Although ester and PAG-based oils offer significantly better properties in comparison to PAO based oils, they are relatively more expensive which has thus resulted in lower market demand.

Engine oil was the largest application segment valued over USD 6,000.0 million in 2015. Rising need for high fuel economy coupled with growing demand for high-quality gear and motor oils is expected to have a positive impact on the market over the forecast period.

Asia Pacific is expected grow at a CAGR of over 3.0% from 2016 to 2024 on account of the growing industrial and automobile markets in the region. Furthermore, the European region witnessed the highest growth over the past few years on account of its large automotive manufacturing base in Germany.

The synthetic lubricants market is fragmented with few manufacturers investing heavily in R&D to gain a greater share of the market. Rising expenditure on the development and introduction of fire-resistant type hydraulic fluids and food grade oils is expected to be one of the critical success factors over the forecast period. Prominent market players include British Petroleum, Valvoline, Chevron, Shell, Exxon Mobil and Total.

Grand View Research has segmented the global synthetic lubricants market on the basis of product, application and region:

Further key findings from the report suggest:

· The global synthetic lubricants market demand was around 3,821.8 kilo tons in 2015 and is projected to reach 4,900.1 kilo tons by 2024 growing at a CAGR of 2.8% from 2016 to 2024.

· PAO (Group IV) based synthetic lubricants was estimated at over 2,000.0 kilo tons. The compatibility of other mineral oils with synthetic oils is anticipated to be a major driver propelling the market. Although ester and PAG-based oils offer significantly better properties in comparison to PAO based oils, they are relatively more expensive which has thus resulted in lower market demand.

· Engine oil was the largest application segment valued over USD 6,000.0 million in 2015. Rising need for high fuel economy coupled with growing demand for high-quality gear and motor oils is expected to have a positive impact on the market over the forecast period.

· Asia Pacific is expected grow at a CAGR of over 3.0% from 2016 to 2024 on account of the growing industrial and automobile markets in the region. Furthermore, the European region witnessed the highest growth over the past few years on account of its large automotive manufacturing base in Germany.

· The synthetic lubricants market is fragmented with few manufacturers investing heavily in R&D to gain a greater share of the market. Rising expenditure on the development and introduction of fire-resistant type hydraulic fluids and food grade oils is expected to be one of the critical success factors over the forecast period. Prominent market players include British Petroleum, Valvoline, Chevron, Shell, Exxon Mobil and Total.

HTF: Best Friends.

Will get back to Fallen, I just had to get this idea out first.

Pairings: Splendont x Flippy w/ a dash of Splendid

Warnings: Death? Not very graphic though.

AU: Mafia

"So, when are you ever going to find someone special?"

Giggles' voice brought Flippy from staring at his coffee cup between his hands, he gave a small, half smile at his friend. He didn't often get a chance to spend time with Giggles since their schedules didn't often sync up, with her working at a hair salon and him working as a florist. So this was one of their rare days they could meet up for lunch at the usual cafe for lunch and catch up. Flippy felt a little guilty that he couldn't tell Giggles about Splendont, his boyfriend wanted to keep their relationship a secret for several reasons, mostly to keep Flippy safe. He hadn't known from whom until recently when he'd found out that Splendont had a twin. A very violent one. His hand brushed over the front of his army jacket, his chest still hurt after what happened but he hadn't opened his mouth about it. Splendid had warned him that no one would be able to save him if he decided to tattle.

"Giggles, I can't just go out and magically fall in love with someone, those are only in fairy tales." Flippy sighed and looked out the window, lifting his cup to his lips to take a sip of his coffee as he was reminded that this cafe was the very spot he had ran into Splendont, quite literally. Splendont had been in such a rush to get back to work that he hadn't been watching where he was going, neither had Flippy. Flippy had accidentally spilled all his coffee over the front of Splendont's white button up shirt and had tried, in vain, to clean it off him. He could remember that laugh, like the guy wasn't used to laughing ever, it was a rare sound that seemed to catch Flippy off-guard. That was the day Splendont had given Flippy his number, wanting to schedule an outing that was quite like this one, but Giggles didn't make his heart flutter like Splendont had.

Giggles waved her hand as if brushing Flippy's words away before resting her hand over one of Flippy's holding onto it lightly, making Flippy turn his eyes towards his friends. "Don't be such a pessimist, Flippy, you'll find someone special. You deserve it." Giggles, the eternal optimist, he didn't want to make her feel bad especially since he was lying to her, so he gave her another smile despite his tired eyes. He turned his hand over and held hers in turn, giving it an appreciative squeeze. He knew if he could tell her, she'd be thrilled to bits, but he had to keep himself and Splendont safe, in turn it would keep Giggles safe as well. He didn't want to drag his best friend into this mess, he owed her a lot for sticking by his side.

"I've got to get back to work, Flip, I'll text you when I'm off so we can plan our next get together. Next time we're going to the bar to mingle." Giggles gave Flippy a teasing wink, making the retired soldier roll his eyes with good humor at Giggles attempts to find him someone to date. He didn't like social places such as bars or parties, he didn't want to interact with others, it stressed him out too much, but with Giggles there as a lifeline maybe it wouldn't be so bad and he'd make her happy. Flippy didn't want Giggles going to bars and parties by herself, especially after all the horror stories he's read about in the newspapers. Giggles stood up and waved, Flippy lifted his hand in return and watched her walk out of the cafe.

But he wasn't the only one watching.

That evening, Flippy found himself tied up and his head covered with a bag, yet again by a familiar pair of thieves. He should've known something was wrong the moment he stepped into his apartment, but even if he had, Shifty and Lifty were far too quick.At least this time he wasn't shoved in the trunk, but simply tossed into the back seat, he could tell by the soft leather that the vehicle was expensive no doubt. Splendid didn't seem the type to go cheap on anything unlike his brother. Though as he felt the roads become a bit more bumpy from potholes, he knew he wasn't going to Splendid's estate where only the rich lived and the roads were as smooth as butter. He couldn't hear anything over Shifty and Lifty's constant bickering, at times he thought Shifty was going to let go of the steering wheel to throttle Lifty.

Luckily the car stopped before they could crash and the car was shut off before the twins opened up their doors and exited the car almost simultaneously. Seconds later, he was being dragged to his feet before the bag over his head and the cuffs around his wrists were removed. Flippy rubbed at his sore wrists and looked around at the dark surroundings. Metal cargo boxes were stacked high, blocking his view of the city, the sound of water faint as the river lazed on by through the docking yard. What stood out among the scent of grime and grit was the ever-so-elegantly-clad Splendid who stood beneath a lone lamppost, watching him with a gaze that made him rub his arms a bit. Splendid lifted a hand and motioned him over, not wanting to get on the bad side of his boyfriend's twin again, he walked over.

"What am I doing here, Splendid? Its late and I have work tomorrow morning." Flippy groused, trying to hide his fear as he turned his head to look out at the river, seeing the lights from the other half of the city reflecting off them.

"Ah, you don't look happy to see me, Flippy. And here I thought you'd like a date under the moonlight, romantic is it not?" Splendid gestured to the area around him as if Flippy should be impressed by the smell of fish and the dirty river. "Don't worry, I won't keep you for long, I just needed to see you for a little while." The sound of the trunk opening drew Flippy's attention, turning a bit to see what the twins were doing. He could hear the muffled cries of someone and the struggle as the two began to drag someone out of the back of the trunk. When the trunk slammed shut, he could see who it was finally. His eyes widened a bit with fear and he quickly turned to Splendid to see him curiously watching Flippy.

"Splendid, what is she doing here?! "

"Well, I saw you two earlier at the cafe and I couldn't help but to get acquainted with this side girl of yours." Splendid raised his brows as he looked down at Flippy's face as if this was all perfectly normal. For him this was fairly normal. Shifty and Lifty dragged Giggles over and dropped her on the ground beside them, tear stained eyes looked up in fear and pleading at Flippy. He couldn't take it, he hadn't meant to get her involved in this but how would he know that Splendid would be watching him?

"She's my best friend, leave her alone, Splendid! She doesn't know anything!" Flippy tried to get Splendid to change his mind as his powder blue eyes shifted from Flippy to Giggles and back as if he was honestly considering what Flippy said. He tapped his chin in thought for a moment as Shifty and Lifty were wrapping heavy chains around Giggles' ankles.

"Alright, Flippy. I'll let you decide her fate since you are my brother's pretty little boyfriend. I have a bit of a sweet spot for you myself." He reached over to seize Shifty by the lapels of his vest, lifting him a bit off his feet as his other hand reached into the thief's pockets in search for something. When he found it, he released the fearful twin who quickly scrambled away before he gathered more of his boss' ire. With a flick of Flippy's wrist, he revealed switchblade, the well honed blade glinted in the dull light of the streetlamp. "I'll give you a choice. Either you can spare her suffering by killing her yourself, or she can sink to the bottom of this river and drowned."

"Wh-What?! No!" Flippy panicked, turning to reach for Giggles who was hearing the conversation and began to struggle with earnest. Before he could reach for her, Splendid grabbed him by his upper arm and yanked him back. His back was flush against Splendid's solid chest, he didn't dare move as that knife was suddenly tickling his own throat. He didn't dare swallow, afraid that the slightly bob of his Adam's apple would cause the blade to slice into his skin. He didn't know what was worse, the blade at his throat or the warm breath brushing against his skin, he could feel those lips dangerously close to him.

"This shouldn't be a difficult decision, Flippy, you've done this before, have you not? You've killed people in the war... Even your own friends." Splendid's voice was a whisper, dark and thinly veiled with a threat. Flippy was surprised, no one had known that much, had known about the accident in the jungles. It was an accident, he hadn't meant to kill them! He began to pant hard as he tried his best to squash down his memories, ones he tried his best to bury and forget all to be brought to the surface once again.He shuddered violently, causing Splendid to soften his hold and hold Flippy closer to his body for comfort even though he was threatening Flippy's best friend.

"I see, don't worry, I'll make the decision for you so you won't have to worry yourself over it any longer." Splendid's voice was beguiling, almost luring Flippy into a sense that everything would be alright until he felt Splendid move. He opened his eyes too late as he heard a splash, Splendid having just kicked Giggles off the docks and into the river without hesitation. Flippy took a step forward, wanting to dive in after his friend to save her, but the grip on his arm tightened and he was reined back against Splendid. He felt hot tears run down his face as he struggled to get Splendid's hand off his arm, this was all his fault, he should've known better.

"I can't have you getting wet in this chilly weather, Flippy, you might get sick. I think its time we get you home now."

Morocco poised to become a solar superpower with launch of desert mega-project

Worlds largest concentrated solar power plant complex, powered by the Saharan sun, set to help renewables offer almost half the countrys energy by 2020

The Moroccan city of Ouarzazate is used to big productions. On the leading edge of the Sahara desert and the centre of the north African countrys Ouallywood film industry it has played host to big-budget location shoots in Lawrence of Arabia, The Mummy, The Living Daylights and even Game of Thrones.

Now the trading city, nicknamed the door of the desert, is the centre for another blockbuster a complex of four linked solar mega-plants that, alongside hydro and gale, will help provide almost half of Moroccos electricity from renewables by 2020 with, it is hoped, some spare to export to Europe. The project is a key plank in Moroccos ambitions to use its untapped deserts to become a global solar superpower.

When the full complex is complete, it will be the largest concentrated solar power( CSP) plant in the world, and the first phase, called Noor 1, will go live next month. The mirror technology it utilizes is less widespread and more expensive than the photovoltaic panels that are now familiar on roofs the world over, but it will have the advantage of being able to continue creating power even after the sunlight goes down.

The potential for solar power from the desert has been known for decades. In the days after the Chernobyl nuclear accident in 1986 the German particle physicist Gerhard Knies, calculated that the worlds deserts obtain enough energy in a few hours to provide for humanitys power needs for a whole year. The challenge though, has been capturing that energy and transporting it to the population centres where it is required.

As engineers put the finishing touch to Noor 1, its 500,000 crescent-shaped solar mirrors glitter across the desert skyline. The 800 rowsfollow the sunlight as it ways across the heavens, whirring quietly every few minutes as their darkness slip further east.

Campaign sign on

When they are finished, the four plants at Ouarzazate will occupy a space as big as Moroccos capital city, Rabat, and make 580 MW of electricity, enough to power a million homes. Noor 1 itself has a making capacity of 160 MW.

Moroccos environment minister, Hakima el-Haite, believes that solar energy could have the same impact on the region this century that oil production had in the last. But the$ 9bn( APS6bn) project to stimulate her countrys deserts boom was triggered by more immediate fears, she said.

We are not an oil producer. We import 94% of our energy as fossil fuel from abroad and that has big consequences for our state budget, el-Haite told the Guardian. We also used to subsidise fossil fuels which have a heavy cost, so when we heard about the potential of solar energy, we supposed; why not?

Solar energy will make up a third of Moroccos renewable energy supply by 2020, with gust and hydro taking the same share each.

We are very proud of this project, el-Haite said. I think it is the most important solar plant in the world.

Each parabolic mirror is 12 metres high and focussed on a steel pipeline carrying a heat transfer answer( HTF) that is warmed to 393 C as it snakes along the trough before coiling into a heat engine. There, it is mixed with water to make steam that turns energy-generating turbines.

The HTF is made up of a synthetic thermal oil solution that is pumped towards a hot tank containing molten sands that can store heat energy for three hours, permitting the plant to power homes into the night.The mirrors are spaced in tier formations, to minimise injury from sand blown up by desert winds.

Technicians say that the Noor 2 and 3 plants, due to open in 2017 will store energy for up to eight hours opening the prospect of 24/7 solar energy in the Sahara, and the surrounding region.

The biggest challenge we faced was being able to finish the project on time with the performance[ level] we needed to achieve, told Rashid al-Bayad, the project director.

But even as the first phase of the project nears completion, Morocco is eyeing grander international aspirations. We are already involved in high tension transportation lines to cover the full south of Morocco and Mauritania as a first step, says Ahmed Baroudi, director of SociA( c) tA( c) dInvestissements EnergA( c) tiques, “the member states national” renewable energy investment firm. But he tells the projects ultimate impact will go far wider even as far as the Middle East. The[ ultimate] objective given by his majesty the monarch is Mecca.

Whether that aspiration is achieved remains to be seen but exporting solar energy could have stabilising consequences within and between countries, according to the Moroccan solar energy agency( Masen ). Talks are ongoing with Tunisia, and energy exportations northwards across the Mediterranean remain a key goal, despite the collapse in 2013 of the Desertec project, a German plan to source 15% of Europes energy from North African desert solar by 2050.

We believe that its possible to exportation energy to Europe but first we would have to build the interconnectors which dont yet exist, said Maha el-Kadiri, a Masen spokeswoman. Specifically, we would have to build interconnections, which would not go across the existing one in Spain, and then start exporting.

Spain has itself proscribed new solar projects because of a lack of interconnectors to transmit the energy to France. The EU has set a target of ensuring that 10% of each member countrys power can be transported abroad by cable by 2020.

In the meantime, Morocco is focused on using solar to meet its own be required for resource freedom. This could one day include water desalination , in different countries that is increasingly being hit by drought as the climate warms. Officers are keenly aware of the running they are making in what is the most advanced renewable energy program in the Countries of the middle east and North African region.

We are at the avante-garde of solar, el-Kadiri says.

About$ 9bn has been invested in the Noor complex, much of it from international institutions such as the European Investment Bank and World Bank and backed by Moroccan government guarantees. Undisclosed energy subsidies from Moroccos unelected ruler, King Mohammed VI, have prevented the cost from being transferred to energy consumers.

Sorry, your browser is unable to play this video.

60 second climate fixing: Can the sunlight cool down the Earth?

One month before launch, over hundreds of thousands of largely Moroccan workers are still racing to fix electric wires, take down scaffolding and wrap rockwool insulation around steel pipelines. They bustle past in amber and orange bibs, working 12 -hour shiftings against a background of the Atlas mountains. Harnesses with hammers and gloves strapped to their belts swing by their sides. Ubiquitous hard hat, safety shoes and ear plugs give the scene an air of theatrical camp.

For Hajar Lakhael, a 25 -year-old environment and security manager from Meknes, rehearsals are almost over and the blockbuster production is nearly ready for action.

Weve done its design and now we will see how these projects look when they start, she says. It is precisely like the preparation for a grand performance.

A global audience will be watching with interest.
