The death of a runner from heatstroke after a Penang hill run event has put a spotlight on the rising risks of soaring temperatures in Malaysia, as authorities report a spike in heat-related illnesses and are seeding clouds to trigger rains in the country’s drought-hit northern region. The death of the 41-year-old, the island’s first-ever confirmed heatstroke fatality linked to a sporting event, comes as temperatures in Malaysia soar to the mid-30s degrees Celsius.

Abstract Aerial Art/DigitalVision via Getty Images European offshore wind developers are coming to terms with a new era of caution and selectivity, as financial constraints and supply chain limitations combine to create an environment in which potential projects outnumber the capital, equipment and workforce available to build them, according to a senior executive at Skyborn Renewables GmbH. "I'm not saying it's a free-for-all, but the dynamics have changed," Adam Thomsen, Skyborn's chief development officer, said in an April 22 interview with Platts, part of S&P Global Energy, on the sidelines of trade association WindEurope's annual conference in Madrid. The shift marks a reversal from previous years, when developers competed fiercely against each other in government-run auctions, in some cases writing multibillion-euro checks for the rights to develop projects. Those days are firmly in the past, with many nations finding it increasingly difficult to attract bids. Auctions in major offshore wind markets, including the UK, Germany, the Netherlands and France, have all drawn blanks in recent times, prompting a redesign of bidding frameworks. The failed auctions have raised concerns about whether Europe can meet its ambitious offshore wind targets, including a pledge made at the North Sea Summit in January to develop 300 gigawatts of offshore wind capacity by 2050. Governments now recognize they must actively court developers rather than simply wait for bids, Thomsen said. "Before, you were in a situation where you saw developers competing for auctions. You will still see that, but you will probably also see markets competing for developers," the executive said. The transformation follows a painful adjustment period for the industry, which expanded aggressively during an era of near-zero interest rates and rapid turbine technology improvements. That environment has fundamentally changed as costs surged, supply chains tightened and financing conditions deteriorated. "...

Decades of advice on what to eat and what not to might have been missing one key ingredient, according to new research Reduce your calories. Eat more vegetables. Limit soft drinks and junk foods. For years, even decades, this has been the advice for those wanting a healthy body weight, lower blood pressure and better markers of metabolic health. Most weight-loss advice has focused on either what to eat (and what to avoid), or how much to eat. Think of dietary pyramids produced by government agencies, calories on food packaging and meals, and typical nutritional advice. It’s all true, to a certain extent: it’s obviously better to eat a healthier, nutritionally balanced diet, and yes, lower body weight is broadly linked to reducing calories. But this type of approach can be hard to sustain. Even as a personal trainer who knows what I “should” be eating according to government dietary advice and has heard too much about calorie deficits, I take a slightly different approach to food. I think we need to bring nuance and a balanced approach to food and what we eat.

A first Champions League final in 20 years is within touching distance, but a difficult tie is not over yet Mikel Arteta can be forgiven for never missing the chance to remind everyone that these are unprecedented times for Arsenal. As his side prepares to face Atlético Madrid in the decisive act of their second successive Champions League semi-final, it is easy to forget that they have only reached this stage on four occasions in their entire history. But 20 years after Arsène Wenger’s team edged past Villarreal in the last European match to be played at Highbury, Arsenal have their best opportunity since then to reach a second final after a campaign where they have swept all before them. The 1-1 draw in last week’s first leg in Madrid made it 13 matches unbeaten in this year’s Champions League – the only club to have achieved that feat – and also matched Wenger’s longest run without a defeat in Europe’s premier competition.

The Essex and South Africa spinner has taken more Championship wickets than anyone else since arriving in 2017 – but says 18 teams can reward mediocrity For 10 seasons, few have earned the right to comment on English cricket more than Simon Harmer.

The Essex and South Africa spinner has taken more Championship wickets than anyone else since arriving in 2017 – but says 18 teams can reward mediocrity For 10 seasons, few have earned the right to comment on English cricket more than Simon Harmer. Because for 10 seasons, no one has taken more County Championship wickets than the South African off-spinner who arrived at Essex in 2017 on a six-month contract, his international career stalled and his options narrowing fast. He has since become one of the great imports of the English game: 522 first-class wickets and counting for Essex, two County Championship titles, a Bob Willis Trophy, a return to South Africa’s Test side and, perhaps most importantly, contentment. “My journey has been bumpy,” Harmer says from a sun-drenched beer garden near the Oval. “I can say now that I’m at peace with it.” Continue reading...

While the doping-friendly event does not seem keen on journalistic interrogation, here’s what needs to be asked The plan to fly to Las Vegas to cover what the Enhanced Games claims is the “next frontier of human performance” ended with a short email sent at 7.02pm on Friday. “After careful consideration, we are unable to approve your media credential request for this year’s event,” it said. “Due to the high volume of applications and limited media capacity, we could not accommodate all requests … thank you again for your interest and understanding.” Admittedly, the rejection didn’t come entirely out of the blue. Unlike most sports organisations, the Enhanced Games had a pre-screening process which led to a nice PR man calling me a few days beforehand. His opening gambit? To point out the Guardian’s negativity towards the event ( “Grotesque” – Barney Ronay ; “Showcasing so much of the wrongness of the age” – Marina Hyde; “Competitors run the risk of their libido being ‘killed off’, leading experts have warned ” – Sean Ingle).

Having overseen a historic return to the Premier League, businessman is now aiming his sights even higher Doug King is discussing the night Coventry clinched promotion to the Premier League after 25 years away. He had a tear in his eye when the moment arrived at Blackburn and, after eventually exiting the Ewood Park boardroom, the champagne flowing, the straight-talking owner worth hundreds of millions hunkered down at a Travelodge adjacent to a service station on the M65. “It was ... noisy,” he says, taking a second to land on the best adjective, “because all I could hear pretty much all night was: ‘We are Premier League.’” It has led King to feel like a party planner of late. The biggest one yet was Monday’s open-top bus parade which started on Jimmy Hill Way, named after the manager who in 1967 led the club into the top flight for the first time. After Coventry were crowned champions last month, King guzzled from the trophy. “I didn’t think the lid would come off, so we had to make the most of that,” he says with a smile. Continue reading...

Plans to install traffic lights on Clachan Bridge will ruin tourist attraction and endanger pedestrians, critics warn Traffic lights are to be installed beside the scenic Clachan Bridge on Scotland’s wild Argyll coast despite fears it will be a “desecration” of a nationally-significant heritage site. Known since the early 19th century as the “Bridge over the Atlantic” the 233-year-old crossing from the mainland to the Isle of Seil attracts visitors eager to boast of their trans-oceanic journey, but there are concerns motorists on green will soon act aggressively towards pedestrians on what is a much-photographed landmark.
