Bulgaria to complete pipeline stretch of TurkStream by 2020
Bulgaria has promised to complete its stretch of the TurkStream gas pipeline by 2020 as planned, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said, trying to tackle scepticism about the timescale of the project.
Last month Bulgaria signed a 1.1 billion euros ($1.2 billion) contract with Saudi-led group Arkad to build the 474 km pipeline across its territory.
Sofia hopes the whole pipeline, which Bulgaria has dubbed Balkan Stream, will become operational as early as 2020, but given that the contract with Saudi company was signed only in September, some industry officials are doubtful of the timeline.
Lavrov, speaking in Moscow at a briefing with his Bulgarian counterpart Ekaterina Zaharieva, said he was given assurances that the second part of TurkStream would be completed as planned.
"The partners have underscored that the work will be finished on time, by 2020," Lavrov said.
Russia, which is building TurkStream to bypass Ukraine to the south, has said its second portion, with an annual capacity of 15.75 billion cubic metres, will pass via Bulgaria to central Europe.
Earlier on Monday, Bulgaria opened the 11 km pipeline that links its gas transport network with Turkey as part of its push to transport Russian natural gas from TurkStream to central Europe and inspected the laying of pipes Arkad has started in northwestern Bulgaria.
The pipeline stretch is part of Bulgaria's plans to link its southern border with Turkey to its western frontier with Serbia and provide a link to the Russia-backed TurkStream twin pipeline to Serbia, Hungary and Austria.
Last week, Russia's Gazprom began filling the first part of the TurkStream pipeline, which runs via the Black Sea, with gas.
Moscow plans to launch the first part of the pipeline, with an annual capacity of 15.75 billion cubic metres, by the end of the year.
Speaking to officials at the opening in southern Bulgaria, Prime Minister Boyko Borissov said Balkan Stream was also a political highway ensuring peace along with its economic benefits.
Serbian Energy Minister Aleksandar Antic, who attended the inspection of construction works in northwestern Bulgaria, said Serbia will be ready with the pipeline on its territory by the end of the year and gas can flow once Bulgaria completes its part of the work.

The continued expansion of natural gas trade is led primarily by growth in the LNG sector, which has tripled over the past 3 yr.
Industry Focus: The future of gas-to-power projects in Africa
Natural gas is expected to play a central role in supporting Africa’s drive to achieve electricity connection for nearly 600 MM people without access to the grid, to reduce widespread reliance on coal for power generation, and to fast-track the continent’s slowed industrial expansion.
Regional Focus: Gazprom faces challenges for combined LNG/processing plant in Baltics
Russia’s largest natural gas producer, Gazprom, aims to build a giant project on the Russian Baltic seaport of Ust-Luga. The plans include the construction of a combined LNG and gas processing plant.

The Bank’s move, announced yesterday, to print £50billion of extra money to prop up the economy – through Quantitative Easing – will also end more final-salary pension schemes.
The painful double whammy is caused by annuity rates, which set the size of a pension’s value, being pushed down by successive injections which have now reached £325billion.
Retirees locked into a weak annuity will find that the Bank’s money printing leaves them out of pocket for the rest of their lives
QE makes it cheaper for companies to borrow by pushing down Government bond yields. But annuity incomes are also based on these yields, meaning new pensioners will see their incomes reduced. A £100,000 saving that could have realised an income of £7,855 in 2008 would yield £5,923 today.
Joanne Segars of the National Association of Pension Funds said: “Retirees locked into a weak annuity will find that the Bank’s money printing leaves them out of pocket for the rest of their lives.”

Horizon Goodwill Industries (HGI) recently announced it received a $50,000 grant from Truist Foundation to help create a full-service grocery store in the Hagerstown, MD, Core.
HGI will operate the grocery store at its downtown facility on Prospect Street. This unique venture will offer fresh food and household staples to the entire downtown area of Hagerstown, which the USDA has defined as a “food desert.”
Ron Bowers, HGI board chairman, said, “This type of initiative will help the people living and working in the center of Hagerstown, and hopefully, the investment will potentially be the spark to set in motion a considerable economic development comeback for the downtown area.”
This project was sparked by a conversation between the leadership of HGI, Meritus Health, and the Washington County Community Action Council around the Healthy Washington County Go For Bold initiative that launched in early 2020. That conversation centered on the challenges faced by many downtown residents with obtaining healthy food items and the resulting negative impact on the community’s health. Households within this area do not have easy access to a traditional grocery store. They must often rely on public transportation or walk great distances to reach conventional grocery stores. While convenience stores and fast-food restaurants are within easy reach, prices and selections are not health-oriented or affordable for many families.
“Through its new Hagerstown store, Horizon Goodwill Industries will provide the neighborhood access to healthier options, as well as employment and enrichment opportunities for members of the community,” said Robert Tuggle, western Maryland market president for Truist speaking on behalf of the Truist Foundation. “This grant is another way we inspire and build better lives and communities by helping deliver critical services to individuals and families across Maryland.”
HGI President & CEO Dr. David Shuster stated, “We appreciate the Truist Foundation for providing their support to this initiative. Equitable access to healthy food is an essential element for members of any community to enjoy healthy, safe, and productive lives. In addition to helping alleviate the food desert condition, the opening of a downtown grocery store will create new jobs and allows us to introduce job training opportunities in grocery retail, creating new career pathways and supporting other employers in this sector.”
The store will be located at 200 North Prospect Street in a portion of the HGI Mission Services building. Individuals who may benefit from HGI workforce development services will be able to access case managers to support ongoing challenges with employment, job skills, family concerns, and other social issues.
Brooke Grossman, chief mission officer of HGI, adds, “The Truist Foundation’s commitment to creating equal opportunities for everyone to thrive is a perfect fit for this project. We are looking forward to the opportunity to provide a vital resource to the core of Hagerstown.”
Construction and remodeling of a portion of the Prospect Street building will begin in early 2022 with a projected opening later in the year.

Ordinance on Facilities Handling Substances that are Hazardous to Water(AwSV, Verordnung über Anlagen zum Umgang mit wassergefährdenden Stoffen) is a new regulation published in April 2017 and coming into force on 1 Aug 2017 in Germany. It replaces the General Administrative Regulation under the Federal Water Act on the Classification of Substances Hazardous to Water in Water Hazard Classes (VwVwS). Its purpose is to protect bodies of water from detrimental changes to their characteristics caused by substances that are hazardous to water emanating from facilities handling these substances.
AwSV sets the rules to determine water hazard class (WGK) for a substance and mixture using CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on the classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures as assessment basis. It also introduces a new category of substances: “Generally hazardous to water” (with no WGK assigned) for certain substances and mixtures, e.g., floating liquids. For the mixtures assessments, the M factor of a substance classified as toxic to the aquatic environment will need to be taken into account.
This ordinance shall not apply to:
German's Federal Water Act requires that facilities handling substances and mixtures that are hazardous to waters must be built and operated in a way that water bodies are protected from pollutions. To this end, the Water Hazard Class (WGK) of a substance or mixture has to be determined, communicated and documented. The annex I of AwSV provides guidance on WGK classification
There are three water hazard classes (WGK).
Furthermore, substances can be classified as non-hazardous to water (nwg) or are deemed hazardous to water in general (awg).
The following substances and mixtures are deemed to be hazardous to water in general and are not classified into water hazard classes:
Substances that are currently not published with a WGK classification in the Bundesanzeiger or on UBA's website are regarded as not classified and must be regarded as highly hazardous to water (WGK 3) for reasons of precaution. Facility operators are obliged to self-classify these substances according to Annex 1 of AwSV and to submit the WGK documentation to the Umweltbundesamt (UBA).
All mixtures have to be self-classified. WGK classifications of mixtures are not submitted to the Umweltbundesamt. These classifications have to be documented according to Appendix 2 Number 2 or 3 of the AwSV and have to be made available to the local authorities on request.

A first since 1979: Boeing to trade plane parts with Iran
Boeing has struck a deal with Iran Air to provide plane parts, the first time the US firm will be doing business with Iran since the US embargo of 1979.
The filing says that the agreement, reached in the second quarter, includes the provision of airplane parts, manuals, navigation charts and data to the airline, in line with the US company's recommendations to customers for such things as an aircraft modification, a parts replacement or inspection.
Boeing also reported it had discussions with the flag carrier's subsidiary, Iran Air Tours, on the potential sale of similar goods and services.
In April, the US government issued a license allowing Boeing, for a "limited period of time," to provide "spare parts that are for safety purposes" to Iran. Boeing is still not allowed to sell new planes to Iran.
The license was granted by the US Treasury Department in the context of an interim deal between world powers and Iran over its nuclear program signed in November.
In late February, another US company, General Electric, indicated it had requested permission to sell spare airliner parts to Iran.
Washington severed diplomatic relations with Iran in the aftermath of the 1979 Islamic revolution.
The United States and European nations have imposed severe economic sanctions on Iran in recent years aiming to pressure Tehran to dramatically reduce its nuclear program for a lengthy period of time to keep it from developing nuclear weapons.
Iran has steadfastly insisted its nuclear program is for civilian purposes.

- Middle East poised to become an industry leader in 3D printing
- UAE Space Agency, Lockheed Martin ‘blast off’ with professional training program

Once upon a time, Vice President Richard Cheney advocated going to war with Iran in order to stop Iran’s nuclear program, even to the extent of authorizing the first use of nuclear weapons by any government since the the US dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August, 1945. Luckily, his favored solution to dealing with the problem of Iran’s nuclear program was not implemented.
President Obama’s security team has generally advocated for increased diplomacy to resolve the conflict with Iran. Republican critics of the President, on the other hand, have relentlessly condemned this approach as naive and dangerous to our national security. John McCain once sang “Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Bomb Iran to the tune of a Beach Boy’s song at a campaign event in 2007. However, under the aegis of Secretary of State, John Kerry, an interim agreement was reached with the Iranian government to curtail their enrichment of uranium, while negotiations continued.
Despite criticism of the Obama administration and Kerry, however, regarding their Iran policy, it now appears that Iran is meeting its obligations under the agreement, as indicated by this report by Reuters:
The U.N. nuclear watchdog was expected to issue a monthly update later on Wednesday showing Iran is complying with the terms of last year’s interim deal with six world powers to curb some of its atomic activities, diplomats said.
The U.N. International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is tasked with checking that Iran is living up to its part of the agreement that took effect in January and was last month extended by four months until late November.
Iran’s official news outlet, Tasnim, has also issued a statement by the Iranian Foreign Ministry’s Spokesperson, Marziyeh Afkham, that the government of Iran fully intends to continue to cooperate with the IAEA inspections of its nuclear program.
“Cooperation between Iran and the IAEA is moving forward and the country is determined to continue cooperation with the IAEA,” Afkham told reported during her weekly press briefing in Tehran on Wednesday.
She also called on the UN nuclear agency to prevent the political affairs from leaving negative impacts on the technical and legal process of negotiations with Iran.
The Iranian foreign ministry spokeswoman also described the course of Iran-IAEA talks as well as the recent visit to Tehran by the head of the organization, Yukiya Amano, as “constructive”.
What has Iran done to comply with its obligations under the agreement from last November? For one, it has eliminated its store of enriched uranium gas, which if further enriched might have led to a stockpile of uranium capable of being used to make a nuclear weapon. That important step was first reported back in July of this year by Secretary Kerry, along with the other steps Iran has taken to date in accordance with the November agreement:
Since its implementation, Iran has complied with its obligations to neutralize its stockpile of 20 percent enriched uranium; cap its stockpile of 5 percent enriched uranium; not install advanced centrifuges; not install or test new components at its Arak reactor; and submit to far more frequent inspections of its facilities. The International Atomic Energy Agency has regularly verified that Iran has lived up to these commitments.
While not everything with respect to these negotiations has always gone smoothly, significant progress has been achieved By the Obama administration. First and foremost, a shooting war with Iran involving either the US, Israel or both, has been avoided. The enriched uranium Iran had in its possession has been removed, and no further steps by Iran toward increasing its ability to enrich uranium has been taken.
Imagine for a moment if John McCain had been elected in 2008, or Mitt Romney in 2012. Does anyone realistically believe that they would have avoided war with Iran over its nuclear capability, considering their many numerous statements professing their willingness to attack Iran at their discretion.
How many people, civilians and soldiers alike, would have died, how bad would the world economy crashed, and how many other unforeseen negative consequences for our country and the world would have resulted if the Obama administration had not chosen to consistently pursue a diplomatic solution with respect to Iran’s nuclear program? Fortunately, we never had to learn the answers to those questions.
Thank you President Obama and Secretary Kerry for your efforts in continuing to use American diplomacy rather than military force to seek solutions to the Iranian nuclear program.

Increasing Personal Productivity by Focusing on What Matters Most
How we manage our time reflects our values, our priorities, and our skills.
It has a direct bearing on our success, both professionally and personally.
Your life, career, and happiness are at the mercy of time. "Time is the stuff
that life is made of." (Ben Franklin)
Format: 45-90 minute Keynote, half-day Workshop, or full-day Workshop
Audience: Individual contributors and managers who would like to get more done in less time, stay focused on their top priorities, and feel less stress along the way.
You can tell a person's true priorities by looking at their calendar and their checkbook.
How we decide to spend our time is a function of what we really value the most. The roles and expectations that we have accepted in life should drive the goals we set
and the tasks we place on our daily "To Do" list. Managing time is, therefore, really a
matter of controlling the "events" of our lives that will contribute most to our overall productivity. Tom has shared these concepts with more than 1,800 audiences, helping them understand how to take control of the things they can control and let go of the things they can't.

Baccarat is called the card video game of the abundant and also famous. Baccarat was so enigmatically linked with the affluent upper classes as well as abundant as well as renowned and also because of this many people steered clear of the game its triumphant introduction online.
Baccarat is just one of the most convenient of casino site games to discover as well as play as well as can truly generate some excitement when played at an on the internet gambling enterprise. There is no ability involved in the game as the rules determine each hands activity. The only variable included is the wagering. In short, Baccarat is a gambling game.
Baccarat is believed to have actually originated in either France or Italy during the center Ages. Words baccarat is a derivative of the Italian word for absolutely no. In the center ages the video game was played utilizing Tarot cards as opposed to the contemporary card utilized today.
As Baccarat’s appeal raised throughout Europe, just like the majority of the various other types of gambling in those days there was some rigorous resistance from the บาคาร่าออนไลน์ ได้เงินจริง Church. The Church watched Baccarat as the video game of the evil one and also those who played it were accomplishing the evil one’s work.
Tarot card cards were initially used in a video game of Baccarat by Felix Galguiere. The Etruscan 9 gods are stated to be the basis for Galguiere’s version of the video game. In this early version of Baccarat, dice were rolled to figure out the fate of a female since the nine gods required the sacrifice of a blond virgin.
A roll of either a 8 or nine made her a priestess; a 6 or 7 as well as she was prohibited from religious tasks; a number less than six as well as she strolled right into the sea and also went away.
This early Baccarat variant became the video game of selection for the top classes and upper class and eventually progressed right into ‘Chemin de Fer’ and European Baccarat it is assumed that this happened at roughly 1500. The game, even though incredibly popular, was illegal at first, as any kind of form of gaming was. At some point, the government made it legal and also placed tax obligations on it. This made the game much more popular due to the fact that individuals might reason that they were flattering the good of the bad when they played baccarat many thanks to the tax involved. The game started to shed its popularity during Napoleon’s power when it was once again banned. It continued to be prohibited up until the early 1900’s. At around this moment a number of the grand gambling enterprises were established along the French Riviera.
This variation is the one that ultimately made it way over to America yet was a various variation of the video game that originated from England. Baccarat was lawful in England during the duration that it was prohibited throughout the remainder of the Continent.
The English variation of Baccarat reached the shores of Argentina in early 1950, where it was called ‘Punto y Banca’. When the game ultimately got to Havana, the objective of the game had actually varied somewhat as now the player bet the house. It is this variation, American Baccarat that was played in the gambling enterprises in Havana.
The Capri Casino variation is the Baccarat variant that moved to Las vega in the mid 1950s through Francis Renzoni, after a Las vega gambling enterprise opened up a baccarat pit. The game began it brand-new life in America as an out of favor enhancement to the gambling enterprise video game choice. Las Vegas adjusted the video game and made the lender the UK casino or house position. This made it possible to wager for or against your home with the lender setting. This is the Baccarat version that is now so prominent in the United States, England and Australia.
Prior to the game of baccarat had reached Las vega, it was currently being played in New York and also Florida. The video game was dipped into the Saratoga race course and at the Hand Beach resort in 1910, forty years prior to it was played in Las Vegas.
Since its beginnings in the Europe throughout the Middle Ages, Baccarat has continuously made it’s means across each continent at some point becoming one of one of the most well-known and also respected online casino video games worldwide.
There are variants in play depending upon the area at which you are playing, so it is always best to inspect your home policies. And also, as so might other kinds of gaming, baccarat has made its means onto the net. Most on the internet gambling enterprises use baccarat video games with some variant in standing order; the largest I have found is that there are just two hands: the lender and also one gamer. Again, it’s encouraged to examine the house policies before you play. Some on-line gambling enterprises likewise play the video game with a solitary deck of cards, which is unusual in a land-based casino.

The University of Wisconsin-Madison has been doing a common reading program since the 2009-2010 school year, when they featured Michael Pollan’s In Defense of Food. In 2010-2011, they read The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks and in 2011-2012, Enrique’s Journey. To be honest, even though I’ve been in Madison since 2007, I’ve never had anything to do with it. I love Michael Pollan’s work, but didn’t read that one. I read a preview chapter on my Kindle of Henrietta Lacks, but never followed up. I did read Enrique’s Journey, but after the fact this August, and it came on my radar independently.
This year, they are reading Radioactive by Lauren Redniss. Now that I am more officially attached to the university through library school, I was given a copy through my course this semester. We are using it for a couple course activities, from examining the sources/archives of the research to investigating grants supporting community reading programs such as this one.
For the record, I read it a few weeks ago and it was DELIGHTFUL. Marie and Pierre Curie were incredible and I wish that I had been exposed to more of their life history earlier. The book was a sort of graphic novel and the art was pretty neat. The cyanotypes made the pages look almost transparent and well, the cover glowed in the dark. So cool. I wasn’t able to attend the presentation by Lauren Redniss when she was on campus the other day, but there are lots of other activities all year long that might be interesting.
Sometimes, my church organizes a book group that I participate in. I’ve read books with them about the saints, Ignatian Spirituality and the founder of the St. Vincent de Paul. Always lively discussions, but often too much material in too short a meeting period. The last book they did only met twice (half the book each time) and let’s just say that I only had enough time to read about a third–but I went anyway.
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about book clubs and my direct experience with them. What is the appeal? You see, when you CHOOSE to read something and it turns out to be interesting (for the positive or the negative), I think it’s human nature to want to discuss what you’ve learned. While books invoke the imagination within, I think it’s even better to let the ideas out.
I want to start my own.
The idea came up over the summer while I was in a teacher inservice to start some book clubs with the high school kids at the school I work at. It would be so simple, so fun, so perfect. Even my ESL students, who mostly aren’t the greatest or motivated readers [in English], have expressed interest when I’ve told them about how people sometimes go to book clubs and talk about what they’re reading. If they’d be tempted to participate, I KNOW there are avid readers who would also be game.
Ideally, we would do it during the lunch periods (we have three) so that the kids who are hyper-involved with clubs and sports and part0time jobs could participate. If we selected three books, and each book had a group that met during each lunch, we would need 9 staff members to host the groups. Weekly would probably be too frequent and monthly too spread out to keep people engaged, so I think every other week would be best.
I stopped by the local public library to talk to the children’s librarian there. Once we get this rolling, I’m hoping she’ll be a good resource for book selection or even securing copies of the books. There is another English teacher and the school librarian that I work with who’ve expressed interest in making this happen, so I think there is a good chance that it will!
And for the love of reading, getting more kids to read for fun is a very good thing.

Soil Ecology: The Basics of Fertility
The Living Soil
“Our life depends on six inches of topsoil and the fact that it rains.” ~Anonymous
Soil “in good heart,” as farmers used to say, is the key to health, both for ourselves and for the animals and plants on whom we depend. Managing the soil for maximum fertility is not something ever to be forgotten or taken for granted—it is always “job one.”
It is best to start with a recognition of our utter ignorance of what constitutes best stewardship of the soil. Without approaching the task with a sense of mystery about the vastness and complexities of the processes involved, we are likely to adopt formulaic and dogmatic soil care solutions. The question is finally not “What is best soil care?” but “What is best soil care for this particular piece of ground; with these particular angles of slope and wet and dry places; in this particular climate; with these unique histories of use (or abuse), insect pressure, crops, etc.?” If we make our ignorance our friend, the piece of ground we have taken into our care will be our own best teacher; and over the seasons, it will teach us the practices that lead to the most beneficial changes. A lifetime should suffice.
Suppose we take as our guide this intriguing question: Why is it that, in natural soil ecologies the world over, soil fertility tends to accumulate spontaneously over time—while human agriculture far too often has led to drastic declines in soil quality, never more so than in the era of industrial agriculture? Whether we look to prairie, or bog, or forest, we find that topsoil deepens and becomes more fertile over time. Why are we humans with our vaunted intelligence and best efforts more likely to destroy than to build soil quality, when natural systems operating on their own produce the opposite result? Even before attempting an answer, one implication is obvious: The key to best soil management is imitation of natural systems, rather than trying to impose novel strategies of our own.
Perhaps the best answer to the riddle is that topsoil is alive, and any approach to agriculture (again, most especially, modern industrial agriculture) which ignores it as a living system and treats it as an inert substance, is almost certain to be destructive.
Topsoil consists of course of tiny particles weathered or worn by geologic processes out of the parent materials (rock, of various types). Both the chemical composition of the parent material and the average particle size help determine fundamental characteristics of soil—whether it is acid, alkaline, or neutral; whether it is sand (large particle size) or clay (extremely tiny particle size); etc. But a layer of small rock particles is not “soil,” and it is not capable of growing a crop.
In addition to rock particles, real topsoil consists of a complex community of living creatures both seen and invisible, each class of organisms with its own strategies for feeding itself (utilizing energy sources), adapting to environmental conditions, and competing against (and cooperating with) its neighbors. Any practice destructive of some or all those classes of organisms—which reduces their diversity and the available pathways of their interactions—is likely to reduce soil fertility.
Living organisms in the soil include bacteria, fungi, protozoa (single-cell animals), nematodes (miniscule non-segmented worms), arthropods (from microscopic to several inches long—insects, spiders, mites, centipedes, etc.), earthworms, and larger organisms such as moles, voles, even gophers, which have their role to play in recycling nutrients and maintaining good soil structure.
Please understand that the mass of living organisms in healthy topsoil is far from trivial: It has been estimated, for example, that total biomass of organisms in a prairie soil exceeds fifteen tons per acre, with the weight of the bacteria alone—invisible to the eye—totaling thirteen tons. A single teaspoon of that soil may contain 600-800 million individual bacteria from a possible 10,000 species; several miles of fungal hyphae; 10,000 individual protozoa; and 20-30 beneficial nematodes from a possible 100 species.

If you like architecture there are specialized tours on this theme or if you want a bit of everything it is very easy to find some of the tours around Cuba that have been already designed for this purpose. In any case a tour can be designed to suit your particular demands.
Many are the tours being offered in Cuba but among the most popular ones you can find Seven Villages, The Pearl of the Caribbean and the Cradle of the Revolution. In any case if you want a private tour designed to suit your demands it is perfectly possible to be arranged. More over you can even leave few nights towards the end of your holidays to relax on a beach resort.
Tour guides are very professional and knowledgeable. They have been trained specifically to do this job. It is a must in Cuba that tour guides have to be graduate from University so the level of Education is very high and the information provided is always very truthful.
Now let us look at one of these tours. The Pearl of the Caribbean tour which last 6 nights with 7 days is perfect for those looking to know the culture and history of Cuba. It is concentrated in the occidental half of the island visiting cities like Havana, Pinar del Rio, Trinidad and Cienfuegos.
To take a look at another example let us point out the Cradle of The Revolution Tour. It is totally oriented to explore the route followed by the revolutionaries led by Castro against Batista's dictatorship. Its duration is 5 nights and it takes place in the most oriental part of the island. This tour can also be combined with some few nights relaxing in Guardalavaca beach resort.
I personally recommend these tours when you do not have much time allocated to your holidays and want to make the most of it without having to spend thousands. An escorted tour is definitely the most economic way to get to know Cuba. Tours can cost from 500.00 to 1000.00 pounds depending on duration, theme and whether it is private or collective.

RAJKOT: The fast growing algae on India's seashores can be the answer to many problems if seaweed is cultivated scientifically. Currently, the potential of seaweed is highly underutilized in India that produces only 0.01 per cent seaweed of total global production.
According to the scientists at Bhavnagar-based Central Salt & Marine Chemicals Research Institute (CSMCRI), the various varieties of seaweed available in Gujarat
coast can be used in generating organic fertilizer, making pet food and pharmaceutical items, and cosmetic products. CSMCRI has recently set up a research and development centre for two species of seaweed at Mannar village in Talaja taluka.
The centre is a joint collaborative project named 'Technology assessment for edible seaweed production and seedling production' by CSMCRI and Indian Centre for Climate and Societal Impact Research (ICCSIR). The project has been sanctioned by Technology Information Forecasting and Assessment Council (TIFAC).
A presentation prepared by CSMCRI shows India's current cultivation of seaweed is around 1,500 tonne but it has potential to cultivate 5 lakh tonne. In agriculture, only the seaweed could increase production as well as reduce use of fertilizer and by doing that, it will also help the government in reducing subsidy on fertilizers. The other use of seaweed is in food industry, dairy industry, pharmaceutical industry, cosmetics, toothpaste, pet food, etc.
CSMCRI director Dr Kannan Srinivasan said, "This unique facility is the first-ever scientific effort to evaluate the performance of a scientifically designed, state-of-the-art facility in the country based on tank cultivation of seaweeds."
This centre will research on various cultivation technology and will work on the process to extract sap (used in making organic fertilizer) and carrageenan (used in food processing, pharma industry) from seaweed.

NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - Several new laws take effect Wednesday, July 1 in Louisiana. Here are some of the major new laws:
New limits on the state's film tax credits go into effect Wednesday. It is one solution lawmakers approved to help close the $1.6 billion budget shortfall this session.
Workers in the state's film industry say they may take legal action to challenge the constitutionality of the new tax credit limits.
Governor Bobby Jindal approved the caps earlier this month as part of the $24 billion budget. The new law says no more than $180 million in film tax credits can be cashed in every year, which allows the legislature to budget for it like it does for other expenses.
However, some in the film industry say the new caps could cause productions to move elsewhere.
"They had to destroy the constitution in order to get to the saving that they were looking for," said Will French, President of the Film Production Capital. "Knowing that we are going to challenge it and knowing that we are going to win and that money really isn't going to be there for them at the end of the day."
In past years, the state paid out more than $200 million in film tax credit. Sometimes that number reached $250 million or more.
A pack of cigarettes will cost 50 cents more around Louisiana.
The additional charge brings the total tax on cigarettes to 86 cents a pack, the 35th highest rate in the country. The extra money will go to help fund health care in the state.
Owners of e-cigarette shops say people who use those products will also see an increase beginning Wednesday.
Drivers in Louisiana will have to spend less time at the Office of Motor Vehicles.
Lawmakers approved the changes earlier this year as a way to reduce lines at the Office of Motor Vehicles locations around the state.
Louisiana drivers only have to renew their licenses every six years now instead of four, though there will be an increased cost to cover the two extra years.
A legislative fiscal office audit last year showed OMV staff dropped 23 percent and the amount of time people waited in OMV lines grew from as little as eight minutes in 2009 to more than an hour by 2013.
"It's a large swish of the complaints about motor vehicles is the wait times that people have to endure, and at least, if you have to do it every 6 years instead of every 4 years that makes the pain a little bit more bearable," said Stephen Campbell of the Louisiana Motor Vehicle Commission.
Also beginning Wednesday, individuals who purchase cars will have to pay $50 more for a vehicle title and $10 more for an official driving record.

The study uses weather generation models to generate future daily rainfall and temperature, and incorporates a land coverage model to simulate future land use changes. These future scenarios are then simulated by a rainfall runoff model to study their impacts on basin discharge, river, and groundwater levels. The Fengshan Creek basin in northern Taiwan is selected as test site. The RCP2.6 scenario is adopted to project future climate. The hydrological impacts, in the context of groundwater, for the near future (2020 - 2039), future (2050 - 2069), and distant future (2080 - 2099) are discussed. Simulations indicate that the influence of climate change is more important compared to local land cover changes at our study site. Both river stage and groundwater levels are influenced under future scenarios, but seasonally rather than annually; the dry and wet seasons are amplified. The results indicate that future water resources will be scarce in the dry season and more abundant in the wet season. In addition, changes in groundwater levels for mountainous region are more significant than in the downstream flat areas.

Bathroom vent stains are from moisture condensing in the vent-pipe when the attic and pipe are cold enough. Hopefully the air exhausts outside the house, not just dumping warm, moist air in the attic. The vent hood should have a flapper to reduce the flow of cold air back into the house.
To stop the condensation, insulate the pipe or replace with insulated venting. It is a three- or four-inch pipe and it could be either metal or plastic. Wrap the vent pipe with fiberglass pipe wrap. It comes in rolls of 25 feet with a plastic vapor wrap and depending on the distance you could require 3 or 4 rolls to complete the job. Overlap the seams as you wrap the pipe and do not stretch the material too tightly. You get more insulation value when the fiberglass is still fluffy.
While you are in the attic you should caulk around the exhaust fan and the ceiling. This will help prevent warm moist air from leaking up into the attic, possibly condensing on the drywall or plaster and causing paint damage.
Paint peeling from a ceiling is often caused by poor ventilation and moisture in the attic. Also, check for poorly fitted light fixtures. A stream of warm moist air into the attic could be dampening an area causing paint to peel.

New research suggests a third of smokers are smoking more due to the pandemic
New research has revealed that a third of smokers are smoking more as a result of the pandemic.
A study conducted by Mintel showed that almost a third of smokers are smoking more frequently and over 50% of smokers are stress smoking. The figures also suggested that 10% of people who had quit smoking have started smoking again since the beginning of the first lockdown in March 2020.
Despite the increased prevalence of smoking since the start of the pandemic, 65% of smokers surveyed said that they were worried about the impact smoking would have on their risk of contracting Covid-19 and experiencing severe symptoms.
Researchers also found that e-cigarette use has increased since the start of the Covid-19 crisis in 2020. More than 40% of vapers are vaping more often than before the pandemic. Almost 70% of participants said that their respiratory health was now more of a priority than before the outbreak and many suggested that they were vaping as a means of quitting or cutting down on smoking.
Roshida Khan, from Mintel, said that the pandemic has clearly increased stress levels and many people who smoke have resorted to smoking more to cope with stress and anxiety. The figures related to smoking among young people align with the findings of research, which indicate that young adults have been worst affected by the crisis. Almost 40% of smokers aged 18-34 have started smoking more frequently since the start of the pandemic despite 70% suggesting that they had concerns about their respiratory health. Ms Khan added that for many smokers, smoking is seen as a “small vice” during times when it has been difficult to cope with stress and find ways to relax.
It is hoped that the easing of lockdown restrictions and being able to socialise more will mean that smokers who have smoked more start to cut down, but the impact of the pandemic could affect many for months, even years.

Tamil Nadu CM requests PM to Dam Safety Bill in abeyance
The Tamil Nadu government today urged the Centre to keep in abeyance its decision to enact a Dam Safety Bill, recalling it had earlier raised some objections and that it had not received any revised draft on the matter thereafter.
In a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Chief Minister K Palaniswami requested that the decision arrived at by the Union Cabinet on Wednesday to legislate the Act on the Dam Safety Bill, 2018, be kept in abeyance till all states were consulted and a consensus was evolved.
He said late Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa had earlier raised objections to "certain clauses" of the draft Bill, 2016 "since they encroach upon powers of state governments and also rights conferred on the state by virtue of Inter-State Agreements on dams owned, operated and maintained by the Government of Tamil Nadu but located in other state."
The state had earlier urged the Centre that the legislation should be re-examined and should not be "proceeded with in haste, without considering objections raised by Tamil Nadu threadbare."
"The Government of India has not circulated any revised draft after 2016 and it is presumed that the Bill in its original form has been approved by the Union Cabinet."
"This Bill would have wide ramifications on dams operated and maintained by (a) state government, especially those dams which are owned operated and maintained by the Government of Tamil Nadu, but are located in the neighbouring state," he said in an apparent reference to the Mullaperiar dam located in neighbouring Kerala.
Mullaperiar dam located in Kerala's Idukki district is owned and operated by Tamil Nadu and the two states are at loggerheads over it's safety and storage level.
The Supreme Court had in May 2014 held that the dam was safe, and allowed Tamil Nadu to raise the storage level to 142 ft initially and to 152 ft later after completing strengthening efforts on the reservoir.
In his letter today, Palaniswami said he considered "it appropriate that consensus of all the states be obtained before bringing forward such a legislation on dam safety."
"In the circumstances, I request you to kindly keep in abeyance the decision arrived at by the Government of India to legislate an Act on dam safety till such time all the states are consulted and consensus is evolved," he said.
The Union Cabinet had on Wednesday approved a proposal for enacting the Dam Safety Bill 2018, which will help states and union territories to adopt uniform safety procedures to ensure safety of reservoirs.
The Bill seeks to constitute a national committee on dam safety which shall evolve safety policies and recommend necessary regulations, Union Minister Piyush Goyal had said on Wednesday.
The Bill provides for establishment of National Dam Safety Authority as a regulatory body which shall discharge functions to implement the policy, guidelines and standards for dam safety in the country.
In certain cases, such as dams of one state falling under the territory of another, the authority shall also perform the role of State Dam Safety Organisation, thereby eliminating potential causes for inter-state conflicts.
The legislation will address all issues concerning dam safety including regular inspection, emergency action plan, comprehensive safety review, adequate repair and maintenance funds for dam safety, instrumentation and safety manuals.
The Bill also provides for constitution of a State Committee on Dam Safety by the state governments. The provisions of the Bill also lay onus of dam safety on the dam owner and provides for penal provisions for commission and omission of certain acts.
The draft bill was finalised after wide consultation with leading experts and international experts, Goyal had said.


This paper looks at the benefits of using a MOS in cooling water systems over traditional biocide treatment methods for the following reasons: Microbio control is critical in industrial cooling water systems. Traditional treatment programs consist of oxidizing and non-oxidizing chemicals. Oxidizing biocides have limited effectiveness in high pH environments while non-oxidizing biocides are expensive and hazardous. Onsite generated MOS is safe, inexpensive and effective in high pH water. Methods evaluating these different treatment programs we monitored halogen levels, and microbio activity in industrial cooling water systems in similar cooling water systems. Results were recorded and compared over a period of time. The results from this test demonstrate that MOS solution can be a more effective biocide treatment program by providing better overall microbio control as a safer and less expensive program. The conclusion is that all industrial cooling water systems are unique. However, microbio control comes down to the effectiveness of the biocide program in that given application.

Mine is around 6, which I suppose is why I think I have a pretty good chance of retiring in 10 years. My wife and I aren't all that LBYM (we generally buy whatever we want), but we still manage to save a decent amount. We both make around 90k (180k gross), but are planning on retiring once we hit 1M.
I've always assumed we'd change our lifestyle once we retired, which is how our number became so low. We both enjoy the outdoors, we have families from the woods of Wisconsin & Michigan, so we figure that's the type of place we could retire to. One car, fewer restaurants, lower computer costs, lower housing costs, etc, I believe it all adds up.
If we're really wanting more money, we can always look into ways to add to our income without being in high stress corporate jobs. Plus, I figure if it's a choice between buying that new computer (and finding a job to pay for it), or just sticking with my slow older one, it'd be an easy choice

The HANARO in-chimney bracket was proposed as a structure which supports the guide tubes of irradiation facilities at the irradiation sites of CT, IR and OR4/5 in HANARO core for the reduction of flow-induced vibration and seismic response of the irradiation facilities. For the evaluation of the structural integrity of the in-chimney bracket, its finite element model is developed. The seismic response analysis was performed for the in-chimney bracket and related reactor structures, under the response spectrum of OBE and SSE. The analysis results show that stress values of the in-chimney bracket and reactor structures for the seismic loads are within the ASME code limits. It is also confirmed that its fatigue usage factor is much less than 1.0. For the verification of the implementation effects of the in-chimney bracket, the vibration level of the guide tube of the instrumented fuel assembly, which is subjected to fluid-induced vibration, was measured and analyzed. The vibration analysis results demonstrate that the vibration level of the instrumented fuel assembly has been remarkably reduced after installing the in-chimney bracket. Therefore, when the in-chimney bracket is installed at the reactor chimney, any damage on the structural integrity is not expected.


This solar shading system can improve the energy efficiency of buildings by controlling the amount of solar radiation that hits vertical surfaces, with automated panel positioning, based on internal and external temperature as well as local illumination values. Modular, scalable and flexible, it can be installed on new or refurbished constructions.
This patented structure, ideal in the temperate climate zone, uses aluminium panels, whose position is determined by real time temperature and illumination parameters. The panels slide along a vertical structure fixed parallel to the surface, in order to offer maximum shading or maximum folding when the screens are unnecessary. The system is an ideal retrofit since it is modular and adaptable: it can be used to shade single openings or entire facades. Its particular geometry, with different inclinations according to the positioning, is a valuable aesthetic addition to architectural surfaces. The colour and finishing of the panel can also be customized.

While attending a lecture for a week, James realized how much he missed his wife, Rachel. James asked Rachel for a picture so they could feel closer, even though they were separated by great distances. Their longing for each other’s company intensified due to their separation. Rachel was happy to comply with her husband’s request, but she also experienced a surge of insecurity. She has been experiencing loneliness and a perceived deterioration in her physical appearance lately. Unbeknownst to James, Rachel was plagued by feelings of inadequacy that prevented her from expressing herself to her husband in the way she thought he deserved. Rachel sent James an old picture of herself when she was still with her ex-boyfriend, when she was more self-assured, out of desperation. She was smiling in the photo while she was in the car, but
Her secret was exposed by the mirror in the glass. It was impossible to miss the silhouette of her ex-boyfriend who had taken the photo. James was first excited to see his wife’s cheerful smile when he first saw the picture. But when he looked into the picture more, the reflection in the window showed him a figure that made him feel confused and hurt.
Driven by a combination of fury and betrayal, James acted quickly. He gave his attorney a call and told them to file for divorce. Any sensible idea was overpowered by the anguish of witnessing Rachel supposedly with her former partner. Unaware of the chaos she had caused, Rachel waited impatiently for James to react. She sent an old photo on impulse, and as the hours went by without receiving a response, she began to regret it.

I have labored over this rose painting on and off for a couple of days, putting down layer after layer of Permanent Rose, Alizarin Crimson, Cadmium Red Deep and Scarlet Lake (mixed with New Gamboge for areas with reflected light and Winsor Blue for shadows) to deepen the color of the petals, making them more saturated, and turn the form. The flower itself is coming close to a finish. I will switch to work on the background to bring out the shine very soon. Although the colors on the petals in shadow looks a bit too dark now, with a darkened background, I think they should look just the right value... Well, we'll see ;-).
Watercolor on Lanaquarelle 140# Cold Press Press Paper , 10"h x 8"w, WIP 6
Lanaquarelle paper is a little bit easier to glaze on and achieve darker colors compared to Fabriano Artistico, but glazing a watery wash on top of thickly painted dark color would often result in uneven drying, and the re-dried darker passages appear grainy, so a strict light-to-dark painting procedure needs to be planned and carried out. Also, repeated glazing over the same area would result in a darker ring formed on the boundary of the area, which is more prominent on softer paper like this which color lifts relatively easier comparing to Arches and Richeson paper. I like the delicate handling quality of Lana paper, and this painting has certainly taught me a lot about it...

Exploring technique and the one on one bond between artist and model through figurative representation has remained part of his practice since the start.
A portrait goes beyond capturing the physical appearance of the subject. The sitter’s identity and relationship with the painter become intertwined thus depicting an intimate reality on canvas.
This body of work is the exploration of the unrestrained action and thought of painting. As a reaction to the rigidness of the Academy, the series was born under the definition of being a therapeutic protest.
From working directly on the wall with unprecedented brush work to utilizing chaos as a palette, the traditional is eluded. The more unacceptable we are, the freer we shall become. What began as purely wild now has a regime and now a duality exists in the artist. Years after the academy’s influence, the series acts as a reaction to his other self.
One is never and can never be the same person twice. The self-portrait captures a moment beyond a physical depiction of the artist. It’s a record of one’s state of mind that projects a glimpse of their temporary identity.
As much as an emotion can reoccur, the way we experience it is never duplicated. The resulting work grants the viewer a glimpse of who the artist sees reflected back at him.

The launch of the month-long Artemis I mission is a success not only for NASA, but also for ESA, which is also participating in the project. The successful completion of this mission will help the agency to receive additional support from the governments of the participating countries.
European service modules for monthly missions
The launch of the Artemis I mission last week is the first step towards establishing a permanent settlement on the Moon. First of all, this is the success of the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
However, this is no less a success of the European Space Agency, because the service module for the Artemis I mission was built by this organization. On November 21, at 02:44 p.m., the Orion spacecraft is scheduled to perform a gravity maneuver near the Moon. And the device built by engineers from the Old World will play a decisive role in this.
It is on it that the engines are installed, the performance of which will determine the successful return of the mission to Earth. If everything goes as planned, the European service modules will be used in all subsequent Artemis flights.
Actually, the ESM-2 was already delivered to the USA last year. Now the third module built by ESA is preparing to join it, the fourth is currently under construction, and two more already ordered by NASA will also be manufactured in the next couple of years.
The ESA is full of optimism
At the same time, European ESM service modules do not stand still. Even before the launch of the first of them, the agency began work on improving the design. Each next module will be slightly more perfect than the previous one. This will be especially noticeable starting with the Artemis-4 mission, which is supposed to deliver the first module of the Gateway station into lunar orbit.
In general, ESA is full of optimism in connection with the Artemis I mission. It began exactly when the organization is going to coordinate with representatives of the participating countries the construction of three more monthly modules.
Recently, due to the war in Ukraine, ESA suspended a lot of its joint scientific projects with Russia. And now it is more important than ever for the agency to prove to everyone that it has viable projects in order to develop in the future.
A recent survey of residents of the European Union showed that space science, along with solving the problems of debris in orbit and climate change, is what scientists and engineers do more. And ESA has something to offer people.

Royal Dutch Shell announced Wednesday that it will not drill in the Arctic Ocean off the coast of Alaska this year, declaring a cease-fire in one of the nation’s fiercest political battles over energy development and environmental protection.
Shell Oil President Marvin Odum described the decision not to conduct exploratory drilling in the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas as a “pause.”
“We’ve made progress in Alaska, but this is a long-term program that we are pursuing in a safe and measured way,” Odum said in a statement. “Our decision to pause in 2013 will give us time to ensure the readiness of all our equipment and people following the drilling season in 2012.”
The company’s effort to tap oil and gas in the warming Arctic — an endeavor that has already cost more than $4.5 billion — has been riddled with problems during the past year. The Obama administration has allowed Shell to proceed with exploratory drilling in the Arctic — over the objections of environmentalists — but it has subjected the company to intense regulatory scrutiny.
