California’s oldest and most infamous prison, San Quentin Rehabilitation Center, is undergoing a groundbreaking transformation into a Nordic-inspired rehabilitation hub. Spearheaded by Gov. Gavin Newsom, the $239 million renovation is expected to be finished by January 2026.

Once home to notorious figures like cult leader Charles Manson and serial killer Richard Ramirez, the prison is now at the forefront of California’s evolving approach to incarceration. This new direction was solidified by Assembly Bill 1104, introduced by Democratic Assemblymember Mia Bonta and signed into law by Newsom in October 2023, redefining the purpose of incarceration as “rehabilitation and safe and successful reentry back into the community.”

The project draws inspiration from Scandinavian incarceration models that prioritize dignity, autonomy and reintegration. This approach has been linked to lower recidivism rates, as Norway’s two-year rate is 17.6%, compared with 61.5% in the U.S.

Jesse Vasquez, executive director of Friends of San Quentin News and the Pollen Initiative, told SFGATE he supports a shift in the prison model from punishment toward rehabilitation. “For the first time in California history, the governor decided, ‘OK, we’re gonna change the penal code. We’re gonna change the mission of the Department of Corrections, and we’re gonna solidify it with a monumental structural investment,’” he said. 

Unlike more remote prisons, San Quentin’s location in Marin County — just outside San Rafael — offers close proximity to Bay Area resources and a well-established volunteer network, enabling a wide range of rehabilitation and educational programs. Mount Tamalpais College, which operates within San Quentin, offers an associate degree in liberal arts, with courses taught by volunteer faculty from top Bay Area colleges and universities.

Central to the transformation are three new buildings replacing former industrial facilities that will house vocational training areas, multimedia education centers and restorative justice programs. The 2024 report from the San Quentin Transformation Advisory Council outlines plans to reimagine the prison environment through additions like a library, grocery store, cafe and communal spaces reflecting life outside prison.

“If you can imagine like a college campus vocational training center inside of the institution,” Vasquez said, emphasizing plans for open-access programming.

Additionally, the renovation includes significant improvements in inmate living conditions, particularly advocating single-cell occupancy — a direct response to inmate requests, Vasquez noted.

“The incarcerated first and foremost wanted single-cell living,” Vasquez said, noting that renovating existing facilities wasn’t viable. With the new model, the prison can better accommodate more humane living conditions aligned with rehabilitation goals. 

Newsom’s San Quentin initiative is part of broader criminal justice reforms, including his 2019 moratorium on California’s death penalty and the dismantling of San Quentin’s death row announced in January 2022. These foundational changes paved the way for the current rehabilitation-focused transformation.

According to a 2023 California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation report, nearly half of California inmates released in 2018 faced reconviction within three years.Vasquez hopes San Quentin’s new approach will serve as a replicable model nationwide to reduce recidivism.  

“We’ve tried incarceration in terms of warehousing with no programming or minimal programming and minimal investment for more than 180 years, and it hasn’t worked,” Vasquez said. “This is the one time that we have a chance to provide investment and create opportunity so that the thing does work.”

On March 2, she was gone. The Belize-flagged, British-owned bulk carrier Rubymar sank in the narrow water lane between the coasts of Yemen and Eritrea. The Rubymar was the first vessel that has been completely lost since the Houthis began their attacks on shipping in the Red Sea—and its demise, with 21,000 metric tons of ammonium phosphate sulfate fertilizer, spells ecological disaster. A similar substance—ammonium nitrate—caused the devastating explosion at the Port of Beirut in 2020. It had been stored there after being abandoned on a vessel and authorities intervened to prevent an environmental disaster.

Because the Houthis have no regard for the environment, there are likely to be more such disasters. Indeed, groups set on destruction could also decide to attack the carbon storage facilities now beginning to be built underneath the seabed.

For two weeks after being struck by a Houthi missile in the Red Sea, the Rubymar clung to life despite listing badly. The damage caused by the missile, though, was too severe. At 2:15 a.m. local time, the Rubymar disappeared into the depths of the Red Sea. The crew had already been rescued by another merchant vessel that had come to the Rubymar’s aid, but there was no way anyone could remove its toxic cargo.

The ship’s owner had tried to get it towed to the Port of Aden—where Yemen’s internationally recognized government is based—and to Djibouti and Saudi Arabia, but citing the environmental risk posed by the ammonium phosphate sulfate, all three nations refused to receive it.

Now enormous quantities of a hazardous substance are about to spread into the Red Sea. IGAD, a trade bloc comprising countries in the Nile Valley and the Horn of Africa, points out that the Rubymar’s fertilizer cargo and leaking fuel “could devastate marine life and destroy coral reefs, sea life and jeopardize hundreds of thousands of jobs in the fishing industry as well as cut littoral states off from supplies of food and fuel.”

Not even shipping’s option of last resort, salvage companies, seems available. “The salvage companies that normally recover vessels are reluctant to go in,” said Cormac Mc Garry, a maritime expert with intelligence firm Control Risks. That’s because salvage ships and crews, too, risk being targeted by Houthi missiles. “If a salvage company knows it’s likely to be targeted, it will hesitate to take on the task. It has a duty of care for its crew,” said Svein Ringbakken, the managing director of the Norway-based maritime insurance company DNK.

It was only a matter of time before a Houthi missile brought down one of the many tankers and bulk carriers that still traverse the Red Sea every day. (In the first two months of this year, traffic through the Red Sea was down by 50 percent compared to the same period last year.) “The Houthis have no regard for life and even less for the environment,” Ringbakken said. “They shoot missiles at ships even though they know that there are humans and hazardous cargo on them.”

For years, the Houthis allowed an oil supertanker ironically named Safer that was moored off the coast of Yemen to rust away even though she was holding more than 1 million barrels of crude oil. By the beginning of last year, the Safer was close to disintegration: an event that would have cost hundreds of thousands of Yemenis their livelihoods because it would have killed enormous quantities of fish. Indeed, had the Safer’s oil leaked, it would even have forced the Houthi-controlled ports of Hudaydah and Saleef to close, thus preventing ordinary Yemenis from receiving food and other necessities.

It would, of course, also have caused permanent damage to all manner of marine life, including coral reefs and mangroves, in the Red Sea. Then the United Nations pulled off an almost impossible feat: It got Yemen’s warring factions, international agencies, and companies to work together to transfer the oil off the Safer. Disaster was averted. “It was a massive undertaking,” Ringbakken noted. “But for years and years and years, the Houthis were adding impediments against this undertaking, even though the Safer was sitting just off the Yemeni coast.”

Indeed, maritime terrorism itself is not new. “Besides guerrillas and terrorists, attacks have been carried out by modern day pirates, ordinary criminals, fanatic environmentalists, mutinous crews, hostile workers, and foreign agents. The spectrum of actions is equally broad: ships hijacked, destroyed by mines and bombs, attacks with bazookas, sunk under mysterious circumstances; cargos removed; crews taken hostage; extortion plots against ocean liners and offshore platforms; raids on port facilities; attempts to board oil rigs; sabotage at shipyards and terminal facilities; even a plot to steal a nuclear submarine,” researchers at RAND summarized—in 1983.

Now, though, the Houthis have upped the nihilism, and unlike the guerrillas, terrorists, and pirates of the 1980s, they have the weaponry to cause an ocean-going vessel to sink. The joint U.S.-U.K. military operation against the Houthis has failed to deter the Iranian-backed militia’s attacks; indeed, not even air strikes by U.S. and U.K. forces have convinced the Houthis that it’s time to stop. On the contrary, they’re escalating their attacks. They do so because they’re completely unconcerned about loss of life within their ranks or harm to their own waters.

It’s giving them a global platform. That, in turn, is likely to encourage other militias to also attack ships carrying toxic substances—even if it ruins their own waters. The local population is hardly in a position to hold a militia accountable. Indeed, militias interested in maritime terrorism could decide that the world’s growing sea-based infrastructure is an attractive target. And there’s a new form of sea-based infrastructure they could decide to make a preferred target, not just because it’s set for explosive growth but because attacking it would guarantee a global platform: CO2 storage.

With the world having failed to reduce its carbon-dioxide emissions enough to halt climate change, CO2 storage has become an urgent priority. Through this technique, carbon dioxide can be captured and buried underground, typically underneath the ocean. Norway has, for example, begun auctioning out licenses for CO2 storage exploration on its continental shelf. So has Britain. The United States has 15 carbon-storage sites, and another 121 are being developed. Even Big Oil has discovered carbon storage. ExxonMobil is buying offshore blocks to use for carbon storage instead of oil drilling.

Carbon storage sites are, of course, designed to withstand both natural perils and man-made attacks, but that won’t prevent destructive groups—especially ones backed by a powerful state—from trying. And because groups like the Houthis are so unconcerned about all forms of life, it won’t matter to them that releasing concentrated CO2 would cause extreme harm to the planet—including themselves. Even a tiny carbon-storage leakage of 0.1 percent per year can lead to additional CO2 emissions of 25 giga-tonnes, researchers have established.

Until recently, sea-based infrastructure was only lightly guarded, because it was in everyone’s interest that it worked. The sabotage of Nord Stream and various other pipelines and undersea cables over the past two years have demonstrated that such peacefulness can no longer be taken for granted. The new CO2 sites will need not just AI-enhanced monitoring but regular patrolling to communicate to potential attackers that it’s not even worth attempting an attack.

And for now, attacking merchant vessels remains a promising and economical strategy for the Houthis and their ilk. It doesn’t seem to matter that ammonium phosphate sulfate will soon be poisoning Yemeni waters and thus depriving locals of their livelihoods. Indeed, other bulk carriers and tankers may soon join the Rubymar on the bottom of the sea, poisoning the future for even more Yemenis.

For the Houthis, what matters is not the outcome: It’s the attention. That’s what makes them such a vexing problem for the U.S. Navy and other navies, shipowners, maritime insurers, and especially for seafarers. But there is another group that should be just as worried about the rampant insecurity on the high seas: ocean conservationists.

There is, in fact, a woman with an unsurpassed green platform who could make the growing scourge of maritime terrorism her new cause. (Nearly) everyone would thank you, Greta.

Lockheed Martin will integrate AARGM-ER missile into F-35 aircraft

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 01/16/2024 - 16:00 in Armaments, Military

On January 12, NAVAIR (Naval Air Systems Command), on behalf of the U.S. Department of Defense, signed a $97.3 million contract for the integration of the Northrop Grumman AGM-88G AARGM-ER (Advanced Anti-Radiation Guided Missile-Extended Range) missile with the F-35A/B/C Lightning II multifunctional fighters family.

The contract, scheduled to be completed in March 2026, will be executed by the U.S. Air Force (F-35A), the U.S. Marine Corps (F-35B and F-35C), the U.S. Navy (F-35C) and partners of the F-35 JSF program, including Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, Norway, Italy, Denmark, the Netherlands and other users of the 17º aircraft production batch.

'Lot 17' is a designation given to the last portion of F-35 aircraft produced. The U.S. Department of Defense finalized an agreement for production in December 2022.

This 'lot' includes 126 aircraft that will be the first iteration to include the Technical Refresh-3 (TR-3) update, the modernized hardware needed to power the capabilities of Block 4. The TR-3 includes a new integrated central processor with greater computing power, a panoramic display in the cabin and an improved memory unit.

Previously, the AGM-88G AARGM-ER missiles were integrated with electronic war and air defense suppression aircraft F/A-18E/F Super Hornet and EA-18G Growler, with flight tests carried out in 2021 and 2022. On September 25, 2023, Northrop Grumman announced that it was selected by USAF to supply the new anti-radiation missile for the F-35A under the codename SiAW (Stand-in Attack Weapon), based on the AGM-88G AARGM-ER project.

The AARGM-ER was designed for enemy air defense suppression (SEAD) operations, capable of attacking anti-aircraft and missile systems, ballistic and cruise missile launchers, GPS interference systems and anti-satellite systems in strongly defended areas and negation environments (A2/AD). The missile features a new 290 mm diameter fuselage and a subsonic ramjet engine, doubling its range from 110 to approximately 220-250 km and increasing its maximum speed.

The AGM-88G AARGM-ER missiles are produced with a new propulsion and improved warhead set, based on newly produced orientation systems comprising a passive radar signal receiver, satellite navigation, counting system and millimeter wave radar. This differs from the AGM-88E AARGM, where propulsion and warhead are derived from AGM-88 HARM (high-speed anti-radiation missiles) stored missiles from the previous generation.

In January 2018, the U.S. Navy hired Northrop Grumman to develop the AARGM-ER. On March 18, 2019, the USAF announced collaboration with the U.S. Navy to adapt the AARGM-ER for the F-35A, allocating $163 million for fiscal year 2020. At the same time, the U.S. Navy ordered additional development for $323 million, with funding allocated until 2020.

In July 2019, the Department of Defense granted Lockheed Martin a $34.7 million contract to initiate modifications to the F-35's internal weapon compartments to transport the AARGM-ER. The work, including the reinforcement of the fuselage structures, was completed in July 2022. The design and integration efforts are supervised by the PMA-242 (Direct and Time Sensitive Attack) office of the Department of Defense.

The Stunning Power of ‘Whale Pee’

A single Whale Can Produce More Than 250 Gallons of Urine in a Day. It Helps Sustain Life Across the Ocean.

— By Melissa Hobson | March 11, 2025

In the deep blue water, a one-month-old humpback whale nuzzles up to its mother. Then, a cloud of dark yellow urine gushes into the water, like a golden smoke bomb, and everything becomes tinged with green.

Scientists have spent a lot of time thinking about how the nutrients in whale feces—also known as whale pump—benefit species in shallow waters, as whales swim up from the deep sea, where they feed, to poop near the surface.

But they had overlooked another important nutrient source: urine.

Now, a study published in Nature Communications corrects the knowledge gap. It finds that whale urine is an essential part of a thriving marine ecosystem.

“The big surprise of the study is that urine far outweighs the other sources of nitrogen,” like carcasses, for example, says co-lead author Joe Roman, PhD, a conservation biologist at the University of Vermont. Plus, whales don’t tend to produce nutrient-rich poop during breeding season, but they do still urinate.

Essentially, baleen whales transport nitrogen and phosphorous from their polar feeding grounds to tropical breeding spots where those elements are lacking—and without those critical nutrients, marine plants and animals wouldn’t survive.

Whales Pee When They Migrate, Spreading Nutrients Around The World

The study analyzed the nutrients baleen whales — whose members include gray, blue, humpback, and fin whales — add to the ocean through their urine, carcasses, and placentas. All these sources unleash 3,784 tons of nitrogen and 46,512 tons of organic matter to low-nutrient areas. And urine accounts for most of the nitrogen. (A single fin whale alone can produce 250 gallons of urine in a day.)

In summer, whales bulk up by feeding in nutrient-rich polar regions. Then they migrate to mate and reproduce in warm tropical waters, which are typically low in nutrients. During the winter breeding season, they rely on the energy reserves stored in their blubber and muscles; the process of breaking these down to release energy creates water and waste products, which become urine.

“That’s why they’re excreting this nitrogen,” he says.

These enormous mammals also release energy and nutrients into the environment through placentas—which are a few hundred pounds each, according to Roman—and carcasses. And, all told, these whale excrements move significantly more nutrients than natural physical processes like weather events. “In a place like Hawaii, the whales are bringing in more nitrogen than is being transported by wind and currents,” Roman says.

Whale Pee is Good For the Sea

Whale urine contains high levels of nitrogen and phosphorus, which all living organisms need to survive.

“These nutrients stimulate phytoplankton growth at the ocean surface and also enrich deep sea ecosystems,” says Heidi Pearson, PhD, professor of marine biology at the University of Alaska Southeast, who was not involved in the study.

By bringing these elements to ecosystems that lack them, these weeing whales keep the whole ocean ship-shape.

Why Conservation is Essential to Ocean Health

The researchers estimate that these figures would have been around three times higher before commercial whaling nearly wiped out some species before it was banned in 1986 (although Japan, Norway, and Iceland still hunt them).

“Some whale populations have still not recovered from industrial whaling and most whales are imperiled by a myriad of threats including vessel strikes, fisheries entanglement, pollution, and climate change,” says Pearson.

Without Whales, The Rest of The Ocean is in Trouble Too.

“The ocean is spluttering along like an old car with rusty parts that aren't functioning properly,” says Ed Goodall, head of intergovernmental engagement at Whale and Dolphin Conservation, which partly funded the study. “We've removed vital processes delivered by whales that help keep the ocean functioning like a well-oiled machine.”

If we want a resilient and healthy marine ecosystem, we must protect whales, adds Pearson: “The ocean would be a very different place without whale poo or urine.”

The Role of Propulsion Solutions in Achieving Zero-Emission Shipping

The global shipping industry, which is responsible for transporting over 80% of the world’s trade, is one of the largest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. Historically, ships have relied on heavy, carbon-intensive fuels like bunker oil, which release large quantities of CO2, sulfur oxides (SOx), and nitrogen oxides (NOx) into the atmosphere. However, with growing pressure to curb climate change and meet international environmental targets, the maritime sector is embarking on a transformative journey toward decarbonization. Central to this transformation is the development of zero-emission propulsion solutions that can significantly reduce or eliminate the environmental impact of shipping operations.

In this blog, we will explore the pivotal role that propulsion technologies play in helping the maritime industry achieve zero-emission goals. By examining the key innovations and challenges in this field, we’ll paint a picture of the future of sustainable shipping.

1. The Push for Decarbonization in Shipping

The push for decarbonizing shipping is not just about regulatory compliance—it’s also driven by a collective global responsibility to reduce emissions. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has set ambitious targets to cut greenhouse gas emissions from shipping by at least 50% by 2050, compared to 2008 levels, and to reach net-zero emissions by the end of the century. National governments, shipping companies, and other stakeholders are now working together to develop technologies that can achieve these targets.

The transition toward cleaner, zero-emission vessels is vital for achieving international climate goals and improving air quality, especially in coastal regions and ports where ship emissions directly impact the health of local populations. The traditional reliance on heavy fuel oils that emit CO2, sulfur, and particulate matter is being questioned as the industry looks for alternative propulsion solutions.

2. The Role of Alternative Fuels in Zero-Emission Shipping

One of the primary solutions for decarbonizing shipping is the adoption of alternative fuels. These fuels can either replace conventional marine fuels or be used in conjunction with hybrid technologies to minimize emissions. Several types of alternative fuels are being explored for zero-emission shipping:

Hydrogen Fuel Cells: A Clean Alternative

Hydrogen has gained significant attention as a potential fuel for zero-emission shipping. When used in fuel cells, hydrogen reacts with oxygen to generate electricity, emitting only water vapor as a byproduct. This makes hydrogen an ideal candidate for clean propulsion, as it produces no greenhouse gases, particulate matter, or sulfur emissions.

The challenge with hydrogen lies in its production, storage, and transportation. Hydrogen needs to be produced through processes such as electrolysis (splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen using renewable energy), but large-scale production is still limited. Furthermore, hydrogen must be stored in highly pressurized tanks or as a cryogenic liquid, both of which present logistical challenges, especially for large ships requiring vast amounts of fuel.

Despite these hurdles, numerous companies are developing hydrogen-powered vessels. For example, Norway’s Hydroville is a hydrogen-fueled ferry, and Fuel Cells Works is working on hydrogen-powered cargo ships. These developments show the growing promise of hydrogen as a viable zero-emission fuel for shipping.

Ammonia: A Hydrogen-Based Fuel with Promise

Ammonia is another promising fuel for zero-emission shipping. Although ammonia does not contain carbon, it is composed of nitrogen and hydrogen. When burned or used in fuel cells, ammonia releases no CO2, which makes it a potential candidate for maritime decarbonization. One of the key advantages of ammonia over hydrogen is that it has a higher energy density, meaning it can be stored more easily in liquid form without the extreme storage requirements of hydrogen.

However, ammonia has its own set of challenges. It is toxic and requires careful handling, both during storage and in combustion systems. Additionally, ammonia combustion produces nitrogen oxides (NOx), which are harmful pollutants. However, advanced engine technology is being developed to minimize NOx emissions and make ammonia a cleaner, more sustainable option.

Biofuels and Synthetic Fuels: Clean Fuels from Renewable Sources

Biofuels are another avenue for reducing emissions in shipping. These fuels are derived from biological sources such as algae, plant oils, or even waste products. When burned, biofuels release CO2, but the CO2 is part of the natural carbon cycle, as the plants or organisms from which they are derived absorb CO2 during their growth process. This makes biofuels a more sustainable option compared to fossil fuels.

Similarly, synthetic fuels (e-fuels) can be created from renewable electricity sources using processes like Power-to-X, which converts CO2 captured from the atmosphere into synthetic fuels like methane or diesel. These fuels could be used in existing propulsion systems, making them an attractive option for retrofitting older vessels. While biofuels and e-fuels present a more sustainable alternative, scalability remains a challenge, as large-scale production of biofuels and the infrastructure for e-fuel production are still developing.

LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas): A Transitional Solution

While not zero-emission, LNG is often seen as a cleaner, transitional fuel. LNG produces less CO2 and no sulfur emissions compared to traditional marine fuels. It also emits significantly lower levels of particulate matter and nitrogen oxides, making it an attractive option for reducing pollution, especially in port cities. However, LNG still releases methane—a potent greenhouse gas—during its production, storage, and transportation, which undermines its overall environmental benefits. As such, LNG is viewed as a bridge solution rather than a long-term solution for zero-emission shipping.

3. Electrification and Hybrid Propulsion Technologies

In addition to alternative fuels, electrification plays a central role in zero-emission shipping. Electric propulsion, particularly for smaller vessels operating over short distances, offers a completely clean and sustainable solution.

Battery-Electric Vessels: Clean Power for Short Routes

Electric propulsion works by using large battery banks to store energy, which is then used to power electric motors that drive the ship. This method produces zero emissions while operating, as the only "fuel" used is stored electricity. Battery-electric ships are most effective for short-distance routes, where battery capacity is manageable. Numerous electric ferries, such as those operating in Norway and the UK, already operate successfully in these environments.

One of the main challenges for battery-electric propulsion on larger vessels is energy density. Batteries capable of powering large ships over long distances are still in development, as current technology doesn’t yet support the energy demands required for transoceanic shipping. However, battery technology is evolving rapidly, and some experts believe that with continued advancements, larger vessels could eventually adopt full electric propulsion.

Hybrid Systems: Combining Traditional and Electric Power

Hybrid propulsion systems combine traditional combustion engines with electric motors and batteries. Hybrid systems enable vessels to use electric power for shorter distances, such as when navigating in ports or through environmentally sensitive areas, and switch to fuel-powered engines for long-haul cruising. This reduces the vessel’s overall fuel consumption and emissions.

Hybrid systems also provide operational flexibility, allowing ships to adapt to different types of routes and energy availability. Major companies like Maersk and Wärtsilä are already incorporating hybrid technology into their fleets, and hybrid propulsion is expected to be a major part of the industry’s transition to cleaner shipping.

4. Wind-Assisted Propulsion: Harnessing Nature’s Power

Wind-assisted propulsion is a natural and innovative method of reducing fuel consumption in shipping. By using sails, kites, or rotor sails, ships can harness the power of the wind to supplement traditional propulsion systems, thereby reducing their fuel consumption and emissions.

Sails and Kites: Modern versions of traditional sails, such as rigid sails or automated kites, are designed to work in tandem with engines to provide additional thrust when wind conditions are favorable. These systems can be retrofitted onto existing ships and can reduce fuel consumption by up to 30%, depending on the vessel and its route.

Flettner Rotors: These cylindrical sails use the Magnus effect to generate additional thrust. The spinning rotors create lift, which helps to push the vessel forward. While not a full replacement for engines, Flettner rotors can provide significant fuel savings on long voyages.

While wind-assisted technologies alone may not be sufficient to achieve zero-emission shipping, they are an excellent supplementary tool that can reduce reliance on traditional fuels.

5. Overcoming Challenges and Moving Forward

While zero-emission propulsion technologies hold great promise, several challenges remain before they can be widely adopted in the shipping industry:

Infrastructure Development: The shift to alternative fuels like hydrogen, ammonia, or biofuels requires the development of new fueling infrastructure at ports worldwide. This infrastructure must be safe, reliable, and able to handle large quantities of alternative fuels.

Energy Storage and Density: Hydrogen and batteries present storage challenges, particularly for larger vessels. Hydrogen’s low energy density means that more storage space is required, and batteries, while efficient, can be heavy and have limited capacity for long voyages.

Cost and Investment: The transition to zero-emission shipping involves high upfront costs. The research and development of new technologies, as well as the retrofitting or building of new ships, require significant investment. Governments and the private sector will need to collaborate to overcome these financial barriers.

Propulsion Solutions for Status Mobility:

Status mobility for Propulsion solutions focus on advanced, sustainable, and efficient technologies that enhance the performance and environmental friendliness of high-end transportation. These solutions cater to luxury and high-performance vehicles, including electric vehicles (EVs), hybrid systems, and alternative fuels, offering both cutting-edge innovation and eco-conscious operation.

Norway, a member of NATO, is the third country to donate F-16 fighters to Ukraine

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 08/27/2023 - 09:28am Military, War Zones

NATO member Norway will donate F-16 fighters to Ukraine, Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store said on Thursday amid Kiev's difficult counter-offensive against Russia.

Speaking to the Norwegian news agency NTB in Kiev, where he paid a visit on the occasion of Ukraine's Independence Day, Gahr Store said that Norway will supply F-16 aircraft to Ukraine, but it will probably be less than 10.

Gahr said he informed the president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, about the donation of the aircraft and that Norway would discuss the number of planes, as well as the transfer schedule with Kiev and other allied countries.

“But Ukraine can count on the contribution of Norway,” the prime minister added.

Norway would be the third European country, after the Netherlands and Denmark, to donate F-16 planes.

Ukraine has long asked sophisticated fighters to give it an advantage in combat. He recently launched a long-awaited counter-offensive against Kremlin forces without air cover, putting his troops at the mercy of Russian aviation and artillery.

In February, oil-rich Norway announced that it would donate 75 billion crowns ($7 billion) to Kiev as part of a five-year support package, making Norway one of the world's largest donors to Ukraine.

The money will be divided equally between military and humanitarian assistance over five years, divided into 15 billion crowns (1.4 billion dollars) annually.

Gahr Store announced on Thursday that Norway would also donate anti-aircraft missiles to Ukraine, saying that “air defense is critical to Ukraine's ability to protect both the civilian population and frontline infrastructure and military units against any type of Russian air attack.”

“This is one of the largest Norwegian donations of military material to Ukraine to date,” Gahr said in a statement.

The Norwegian government has long stated that it is considering sending F-16 to Ukraine. In January, Norway received the first of the 52 F-35s ordered. The new fighters will replace Norway's F-16 fleet.

Last week, the Netherlands and Denmark announced that they will donate F-16 aircraft. Denmark said it will provide 19 planes, while the Netherlands reported that it will donate 42 of the jets.

Earlier this week, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited several European countries, including the Netherlands and Denmark, but did not go to Norway.

Mechanical knowledge is very advisable if you propose to put in a ship steering mechanism yourself but failing that, there are many professionals who will be ready to do that. Hydraulic steering systems for boats may be a clear winner but the worth is often scary. For simplicity, the rack system is the easiest to put in and therefore the rotary is within the middle. Switching to a more reliable steering mechanism designed for performance will increase your enjoyment of the waters. Below may be a list of the simplest boat steering systems that include hydraulic, rack, rotary and power systems. Adding steering to your boat isn't as simple as installing a wheel to the cockpit. an entire wheel system is required with all the cables and other components that make a full kit. The best boat steering mechanism is that the Bay Star Hydraulic Steering Kit, which is employed for single station outboard powered boats and comes with all the components and hydraulic fluid for a high performing steering setup on your boat. The three main sorts of boat steering are rack, rotary, power and hydraulic steering with the latter being the foremost expensive. it is vital to notice that some systems may require converting, which can require mechanical knowledge. visit for details https://nl.forboat.eu/

Ok so. The cheap recipes i have survived with (on student exchange on norway). Also general info for max cheapskateyness, like where to find sales etc.

1. Fried noodles with salted peanuts

Noodles 5 pack 1.7e (the cheapest ones)

Peanuts 200g 2.3e

Any spices you find! Most preferably: paprika, curry, chili, ginger (ground), garlic 2 -4 cloves or 1 teaspoon of ground garlic + soy sauce (forget kikkoman it's hella expensive? Go to an "ethnic" store to find a bigger bottle of soy sauce, i used "healthy boy brand" thin soy sauce, the 1l bottle will last all eternity)

Boil the noodles or let them sit in a cup with boiling water until soft (for the love of god and all holies do not touch the cheap noodles' own spice packet)

Pour out excessive water

Take a small pan and pour the noodles in (if u use fresh garlic crush them or cut em up and fry them a lil bit while the noodles "boil"

Add all the spices, a bit of any oil (or butter) and 1-4 teaspoon/s of soy sauce

Stir fry until the noodles look sticky and fried

Add salted/chili peanuts on top

2. 4 ingredient pasta

Tips! Cheapest pasta is usually spaghetti that you can buy in bulk, like in spar norway 1kg of cheapest spaghetti is 18 kr (1.7e). Use ripoff brands that the shops have, lile "x-tra" "first price" or "eldoraro" in here. Cheapest crushed tomatoes pack is 70 kr (0.65e) for 250g.

Start boiling the pasta of your choice and simultaneously start cutting the garlics. You can also use garlic crusher, it's faster. Add a little bit of salt to the pasta water.

Fry your garlics. Add in drained chickpeas (any beans work) 9 kr/0.9e per pack. Add in the crushed tomatoes.

Add in any spices you can find, preferably: onion, rosemary, herb mix, chili, pepper

Drain the pasta and add in approx ¼ or ⅓ of the sauce

Leftover sauce goes to a box and to the fridge. I do not recommend storing pasta for further eating, it can go bad too fast

3. Seljanka soup

You will need:

Cheap crushed tomatoes, potatoes, (canned) mushrooms, cabbage, bay leaf, russian pickles (or fermented pickles w garlic and dill, do not add in those with sugar!) Or just 1 table spoon of cooking vinegar, cheap frozen vegetable mix (with carrots and celery etc), salt, pepper, clove spice, herb mix w rosemary, any beans, onion, garlic

Start with peeling and dicing the potatoes, cut onions and garlics. Start boiling them with ¼ of full kettle volume of water + add the bay leaves (2 will do for 3l of soup)

Add in cut cabbage, vinegar, pickles (cut) and the spices. Add the crushed tomatoes and water if it's too stewy.

Let boil for 10 min

Add in the canned mushrooms (rinsed) and the frozen veggies and beans

Let boil for 10-20 min or until the potatoes are soft

You can either freeze or store the leftovers in a fridge

Price info: 1kg cabbage 5-20kr /0.4-2e, 2kg of potatoes 20-40kr/2-4e, jar of russian pickles 20-30kr, spices all mentioned probs like 10e (only gotta buy these once!), 2/3 big onions 20-25 kr, 2 garlics 23kr

4. Marinated beans + mashed potatoes

Take a container or a bowl. Add in 1 packet of rinsed chickpeas. Add in 2-4 tablespoons of soy sauce.

Add a bit of oil so the beans wont dry when storaged in the fridge

Add spices, preferably garlic, herbs, ginger, chili, pepper (no salt needed since the soy sauce is very salty)

Let sit for 1-2h in the fridge

Boil peeled potatoes. Pour out water. Mash them with a masher or a fork with a bit of added water/milk/melted butter if u can afford it. Add salt.

Other valuable info!

Cheapest stores (in norway) for vegetables/canned things: kiwi, extra, obs

Cheapest store for sales: obs, eurospar

Best "kuppdisk" (-50% shelf for soon to expire products) Any big markets such as eurospar and obs. Here u can find cheap meat/dairy/veggies. They have kuppdisk for veggie section, dry section and meat/dairy/frozen goods section

Download the app "e tilbundsavis" to get info what is on sale where. It's in norwegian but very easy to understand (use google translator to search items in the app, like "coffee" or "chips")

Cheapest instant coffee is friele but it tastes like crap. Nescafe brasileiro is tiny bit more expensive but so much better.

Learn to make your own popcorn in a kettle, there's youtube tutorials for that. So much cheaper than micro popcorn.

For alcohol you are damned. I would suggest buying the cheapest big (0.75 litre for 30kr) vodka bottle and mixing it with different sodas/juices. Note! Only Vinmonopolet store sells other than beer like normal stores. Check opening times, they are strict. U gotta be over 20 to buy vodka in norway, wine u can get at 18. Or ask someone u know to buy vodka for u. Or when traveling to norway get your vodka as a "gift" from the airport in your home country. It's still cheaper.

There's snack sales from time to time like 5 bars of 200 choco for 100kr. It seems like much but normally one 200g bar is 44kr. Also chips can get -50% sales, check the "tilbundsavis" app every other day so u wont miss them.

Do NOT shop in Joker mini stores or gas stations. Hella expensive. Uh oh. And for the love of All do not doordash, u will bancrupt yourself (unless u are rich but then u don't need these tips anyways).

Make as much from scratch as u can. There's plenty of "cheap/simple cooking for idiots" type vids on youtube.

For snus/tobacco i don't know the prices bc i don't use them. Probably quite expensive. Check how much u can take with u from home without taxes if u use them.

People with ovaries! Period products are expensive too. Cheap brands work just as fine. Or take a couple extra packs with u.

The winter is long and it's recommended to take vitamin supplements (especially vitamin D). There's sales for those too, team up with people u know for things like "3 for 2" in vitamins. Usually the sales start when it begins to get darker, in september.

If you have an injury/need the hospital, u can use your insurance or european health insurance card (for eu citizens it costs like 10e but then u can use the eu/schengen area hospitals with the same pricing as locals). There's student health services for free but those are for not for "major injuries", more like for check ups and teeth care.
