Inquest opens after Dudley actor found dead at his home AN inquest has been opened into the death of a Dudley actor who was found dead at his home. Simon Hawkins, aged 31, died at his home address in Paganel Drive, Dudley, on January 18, Black Country Coroners Court at Oldbury was told. Area coroner for the Black Country Joanne Lees opened an inquest on Thursday February 4 into his death - the cause of which is unknown at present - and adjourned the hearing to a date to be fixed. West Midlands Ambulance Service said medics had been called to reports of a man in cardiac arrest at 2.13pm on January 18 and two ambulances and a paramedic officer were sent to the scene but a spokesman added: Unfortunately it was immediately apparent that nothing could be done to save the man and he was confirmed dead at the scene.”
Cllr Boden, also the leader of Fenland District Council, said: “We face having a minimum of 122,858 tonnes of non-conforming waste in Saxon Pit.

Bought any Bitcoin lately? Chances are it was made in China. That could be a problem for the burgeoning digital currency and an opportunity for ambitious rival “miners” in the U.S. and elsewhere.
Bitcoin mining is virtual, but requires expensive real-world inputs. Simply put, miners compete to solve increasingly complex equations generated by the Bitcoin network. The first to solve one wins the right to process and confirm new Bitcoin transactions, and win newly minted coin as recompense. Being first requires massive computing power, which in turn requires huge amounts of electricity.
Chinese entrepreneurs jumped on this ecosystem in the early 2010s, while Westerners remained wary. Miners harnessed nearly-free hydropower near dams that the country had built with abandon. Beijing-based Bitmain got a lock on the specialized chips and machinery the miners needed (and is aiming for a blockbuster IPO this year). BTCC and other exchanges mushroomed to trade the
