Not a cat in hell's chance that anyone would buy HUR at the moment, far too much uncertainty and work to be done.
What will flow commercially, what will flow a bit but not commercially, what will flow at all, of the ones that flow commercially how and where will they be tied back......?

Sean Smith, Chief Executive Officer of Eden, said: "The potential use of Eden's active ingredents and Sustaine formulation technology in seed treatments has been understood by Eden for some time, but this is the first opportunity on a major scale where we have partnered with a company to develop fully and commercialise a product using Sustaine in this new application area.
"We are very pleased to be partnering with Corteva who, aside from being one of the largest agriculture input companies in the world, is particularly well known for its expertise in the area of seeds and seed treatments. This Agreement follows positive initial field trials which Corteva undertook during 2019 and so this next stage represents a great step forward in our working partnership."
Andre Negreiros, Seed Applied Technologies Leader, Europe, for Corteva Agriscience, said: "We are excited to be working with Eden to offer farmers complete solutions with an environmentally favourable profile. As a company committed to sustainability, we are pleased to be using the Sustaine™ formulation technology to help solve the microplastics problem in line with consumer expectations.
"This collaboration reflects Corteva Agriscience's approach to open innovation, leveraging collaborations around the world to pursue innovations that enhance growers' productivity, environmental sustainability, and keep growing what matters - now and for generations to come."
Eden Research plc (AIM: EDEN), the AIM listed company that develops and supplies breakthrough biopesticide products and natural microencapsulation technologies to the global crop protection, animal health and consumer products industries, is pleased to announce that it has signed a one year exclusive Evaluation Agreement ("Agreement") with Corteva Agriscience ("Corteva").
This agreement will allow Corteva time to evaluate Eden's Sustaineä encapsulation technology and several formulations in specific biological seed treatment applications in certain major territories and, if successful, will lead to Corteva being granted exclusive distribution rights.
Agreement highlights:
· One year exclusive Evaluation Agreement signed with Corteva (NYSE: CTVA), the fourth largest agriculture input company in the world.
· This will be the first use of Eden's products and technology in the treatment of seeds.
· Corteva will have until the end of 2020 for the exclusive evaluation of products which use SustaineTM in select seed treatment applications.
· If successful, the agreement will then lead to Corteva being granted exclusive distribution rights in the EU, Russia, Ukraine and Turkey.
Corteva (NYSE: CTVA) is the fourth largest agriculture input company in the world and is a publicly traded, pure-play agriculture company. It was created by combining the best of DuPont Crop Protection, DuPont Pioneer seeds and Dow AgroSciences. Pioneer is a global leader in seeds for a wide range of crops.
Corteva will have until the end of 2020 for the exclusive evaluation of products which use SustaineTM in select seed treatment applications. Following this Corteva may enter into an exclusive agreement for the distribution of products in the EU, Russia, Ukraine and Turkey. This represents a major milestone for Eden as it will be the first use of Eden's products and technology in the treatment of seeds and is an initial step into this area across a range of functional uses and seed types.
SustaineTM microcapsules are naturally sourced, plastic-free, biodegradable micro-spheres derived from yeast. The Sustaine technology has enabled the safe and effective use of Eden's registered active ingredients and those of third parties by improving bioactivity, controlling volatility and improving crop safety.
As part of everything they do I would have thought these would have been approved a long time ago.
Eden's three EU-registered active ingredients approved in Organic Production Regulation
Eden Research plc (AIM: EDEN), the AIM quoted company that develops and supplies breakthrough biopesticide products and natural microencapsulation technologies to the global crop protection, animal health and consumer products industries, is pleased to announce that its three EU-registered active ingredients, geraniol, eugenol and thymol, have all been approved for use in organic farming following inclusion in the EU's Organic Production Regulation.
Organic farming covered 12.6 million hectares of agricultural land in the EU Member States in 2017, equivalent to 7% of the total utilised agricultural area. Between 2012-2017, land assigned for organic growing within these Member States increased by 25%. In Italy and Spain, the conversion rates from conventional to organic agriculture grew by over 60% with the share of organic production totalling 15.2% and 13.9% respectively.
Pursuant to this approval, Eden's products will provide organic growers with the high levels of efficacy often associated with conventional chemical pesticides, thereby providing the Company's growers with another alternative and sustainable solution.
Sean Smith, CEO of Eden Research commented: "We are very excited by this approval for EU organic farming as this opens up a new commercial opportunity for Eden which is relevant to all of the products that we have developed and continue to develop using our three EU registered active ingredients.
"It is clear that there is growing demand from consumers within the EU for organic products and this is matched by rapidly growing production. Consequently, areas assigned by EU Member States for organic agriculture have grown by 70% in the last ten years* with organic retail sales reaching €34bn in 2017."
I would hope that Boris would call Crown Dependencies British.
""Royal Navy warships have been ordered to escort British-flagged vessels in the Persian Gulf, in the wake of the US killing of Iran's top military leader.""
What exactly is "flagged"?
If it is only ships registered in Britain then that excludes pretty well every oil tanker out there as they are nearly all Panama, Liberia etc. registered.
The Aoka Mizu, for instance, is registered in Curacao.
There may be a small rise but not major, I don't think, as everyone already knows what you have posted, ie already in the SP.
Surely that would be a BP decision?
Am I wrong in thinking that BP do the offloading and get paid by the barrel?
Has anyone done a fag pack working out of the depletion rate of the perched water?
After all, there is what there is, a finite amount, and it doesn't get replenished by an aquifer.
Hi Shed, hope you are well,
I've got a Giant Anthem (and a Giant hybrid which rarely gets used) and spend as much time as possible cycling and walking in the Cheviots.
No cycling or walking where my brother is abroad :(
Hi Shed and thanks for that important reminder.
Sean Smith, Chief Executive Officer of Eden, said: "We are pleased to appoint Sipcam as our partner for Mevalone in Portugal and the Benelux region. Portugal in particular is a significant grape-growing country, and a key market for our product.
"Sipcam has excellent knowledge of Mevalone, having acted as our commercial partner for the product in Italy and Spain. Sipcam currently sells Mevalone under the brands 3logy® in Italy and ARAW® in Spain, and their expertise in these countries is directly transferrable to growers in Portugal and the Benelux region.
"It is expected that sales of Mevalone will commence in Portugal in the 2020 season, as marketing authorisation has already been received there. This is, therefore, a meaningful improvement in our commercial footprint. We are working with an established and experienced commercial partner to accelerate market penetration. Commercial activities will begin in the Benelux region following the receipt of regulatory clearance in these countries."
Stefano Cartacci, Director of Sipcam Oxon in Europe, said "We are pleased to extend to Sipcam Portugal and Sipcam BENELUX the cooperation with Eden on such a high performing product, taking advantage of the strong experience developed in Italy and Spain. Growers' lives get more complicated each day due to the rise of new pests and the reduction of effective solutions. Mevalone is a perfect fit to our strategy of bringing innovative solutions to the market, supporting growers in their modern challenges."
Eden Research plc (AIM: EDEN), the AIM listed company that develops and supplies breakthrough biopesticide products and natural microencapsulation technologies to the global crop protection, animal health and consumer products industries, is pleased to announce that it has signed an agreement ("Agreement") with Sipcam Oxon ("Sipcam") which allows Sipcam to market, distribute and sell, on an exclusive basis, Eden's fungicide product, Mevaloneä, in Portugal and the Benelux region.
Agreement highights
· Under the Agreement, Eden will supply and Sipcam will distribute Mevalone for use as a fungicide for grapes and minor crops in Portugal and the Benelux region (subject to regulatory clearance in the Benelux region)
· It is expected that sales of Mevalone will commence in Portugal in the 2020 season (marketing authorisation has already been received there)
· Commercial activities will begin in the Benelux region following the receipt of regulatory clearance in these countries
Mevalone offers growers tremendous advantages by providing high levels of efficacy against important crop diseases. The active ingredients in Mevalone are exempt from residue limits and have very low or no pre-harvest intervals, giving growers the ability to apply the product just prior to harvest, providing maximum benefits and flexibility.
Mevalone is formulated with Eden's Sustaineä encapsulation and delivery technology, a proven formulation solution for active ingredients that are challenging to use. Sustaine microcapsules are naturally sourced, plastic-free, biodegradable micro-spheres derived from yeast. The Sustaine technology has enabled the safe and effective use of Eden's registered active ingredients and those of third parties by improving bioactivity, controlling volatility and improving crop safety.

May I suggest not the freezer.
I received a parrot as a Christmas present.
The parrot had a mean attitude and an even worse vocabulary. Every word out of the bird's mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced with profanity.
I tried and tried to change the bird's attitude by consistently saying only polite words, playing soft music and anything else I could think of to "clean up" the bird's vocabulary.
Finally, I was fed up and I yelled at the parrot. The parrot yelled
back. I shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even ruder. So, in
desperation, I threw up my hands, grabbed the bird and put him in the
freezer. For a few minutes the parrot squawked and kicked and screamed. Then
suddenly there was total quiet. Not a peep was heard for over a minute.
Fearing that I'd hurt the parrot, I quickly opened the freezer door. The
parrot calmly stepped out onto my outstretched arm and said, "I believe I
may have offended you with my rude language and actions. I'm sincerely
remorseful for my inappropriate transgressions and I fully intend to do
everything I can to correct my rude and unforgivable behaviour."
I was stunned at the change in the bird's attitude. As I was about to ask
the parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his behaviour,
when the bird continued, "May I ask what the turkey did?"
This will help:
Also Thursday, the House of Representatives, where the Democratic majority had voted for impeachment a day earlier, finally approved a new US-Canada-Mexico free trade deal, known as USMCA.
