 An Israeli company says it has developed #technology that can charge a mobile phone in a few seconds and an electric car in minutes, advances that could transform two of the world's most dynamic consumer industries. 
Using nano-technology to synthesize artificial molecules, Tel Aviv-based StoreDot says it has developed a battery that can store a much higher charge more quickly, in effect acting like a super-dense sponge to soak up power and retain it. 
 
While the prototype is currently far too bulky for a mobile phone, the company believes it will be ready by 2016 to market a slim battery that can absorb and deliver a day's power for a smartphone in just 30 seconds. 
"These are new materials, they have never been developed before," said Doron Myersdorf, the founder and chief executive of StoreDot, whose investors include Russian billionaire and Chelsea soccer club owner Roman Abramovich. 
The innovation is based around the creation of "nanodots", which StoreDot describes as bio-organic peptide molecules. Nanodots alter the way a battery behaves to allow the rapid absorption and, critically, the retention of power. 
The company has raised $48 million from two rounds of funding, including backing from a leading mobile phone maker. Myersdorf declined to name the company, but said it was Asian. 
With the number of smartphone users forecast to reach 1.75 billion this year, StoreDot sees a big market, and some experts think that -- with more work -- it could be on to a winner. 
 
"We live in a power hungry world ... people are constantly chasing a power outlet. StoreDot has the potential to solve this real big problem," said Zack Weisfeld, who has worked with and evaluated ventures in the mobile phone sector globally. 
"They still have some way to go, to deal with size of battery and power cycle rounds, but if solvable, it's a very big breakthrough," he told Reuters. A power cycle round refers to the number of times a battery can be re-charged in its lifetime. 
Myersdorf said a fast-charge phone would cost $100-$150 more than current models and would ultimately be able to handle 1,500 recharge/discharge cycles, giving it about three years of life. 
He hopes to use the same technology to create a car battery that recharges in two or three minutes, rather than current models which commonly need to be charged overnight.</div>

Nigeria's parliament says Shell should pay $4 billion for 2011 oil spill

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<img height="133" src="https://scontent-b-ams.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xaf1/v/t1.0-9/10494528_673034392810451_6033478124330476786_n.jpg?oh=1474470deaab74cce75507272ad0a8ea&oe=550737FA" width="200" /> 
Nigeria's National Assembly said on Wednesday oil major #Shell should pay $3.96 billion for a 2011 spill at its offshore Bonga oilfield in the latest assessment of damage to the environment. 
 
The non-binding decision comes after years of analysis by various Nigerian state agencies, which have proposed a range of fines as high as $11.5 billion. 
 
The parliament finally reached a decision based on the report of the National Oil Spill Detection and Response Agency (NOSDRA), which previously recommended a fine of $5 billion. 
 
Shell declined to comment. The company has previously said it took responsibility for the spill and had cleaned the area. 
 
The parliament's decision is non-binding as it only has the power to recommend fines to the government and cannot enforce them. 
 
NOSDRA estimated that around 40,000 barrels were spilled when a tanker was loading crude at the offshore platform operated by Shell's subsidiary SNEPCO. The Bonga field was producing 200,000 barrels per day at the time. 
 
NOSDRA has previously said the spill had hurt locals in the area who rely on fishing for their livelihoods as the slick covered an area of around 950 square km. 
 
"Since all efforts by this committee were tactfully rebuffed by SNEPCO, (it) has decided to adopt the damage assessment report submitted by NOSDRA as the lead agency in all oil spill management," Uche Ekwunife, chairman of the environmental committee told the assembly. 
 
Shell is also being pursued in a class action case for two other spills in the Niger Delta in 2008. In June, it offered 30 million pounds ($51 million) in compensation to 15,000 residents in the Bodo Community but this was rejected. 
 
The United Nations Environment Programme has criticised Shell in the past for not doing enough to clean up spills and maintain infrastructure. 
 
Nigeria is Africa's largest oil exporter and an OPEC member but the environmental toll has been huge. The mangrove creeks of the delta region are heavily polluted mainly due to leaks from illegal pipeline tapping and sabotage. 
 
Foreign companies have been selling their stakes in onshore oilfields after becoming frustrated with industrial scale theft and resulting spills, which show no signs of abating. 
 
On Monday, Shell had to shut down a pipeline as a result of a new leak close to where it was removing oil taps. 
 
(This story has been refiled to add NOSDRA attribution for spill size in paragraph 6)</div>

Neocons stay in contact with ISIL: Analyst

Some neoconservative senators in the United States remain in direct contact with the #ISIL terrorist group, says a journalist. 
 
Yuram Abdullah Weiler, a columnist with the Tehran Times Daily from Denver, told DanglingReport that the neoconservatives and the Israeli spy agencies have maintained direct contacts with Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the so-called leader of ISIL. 
 
“We also have evidence that John McCain was in direct contact with al Baghdadi and possibly he is involved with [Israeli spy agency] Mossad. 
 
This appears it is very much US creation,” he said, referring to hawkish US Senator McCain. 
The analyst said the United States has found a replacement for the red armies of the Communist era in the form of ISIL. 
Commenting on the ongoing unrest in Syria, he said that the United States and its regional allies were pursuing a vicious agenda of “regime change” through fueling militancy. 
The commentator went on to say that the Americans are preventing “a unified Iraq” by unleashing militant groups and spreading divisions. 
 
He also said the United States and its allies such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan, Turkey and the Israeli regime are deeply involved in financing and training these militant groups. 
The remarks come as ISIL terrorists control some parts of Syria and Iraq. They have been carrying out horrific acts of violence, including public decapitations and crucifixions, against all communities in the two countries, including Shias, Sunnis, Kurds, and Christians. 
The group has reportedly links with the Saudi intelligence and it is believed to be indirectly supported by the Israeli regime.</div>
