30 March. China expects to make the first trade on the long-awaited national emission trading scheme in 2020, as part of Beijing’s efforts to fulfill its commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emission. China has spent two years on legal and technical infrastructure construction after it announced its plans to launch the nationwide emission trading scheme (ETS) in 2017. It began setting up pilot trading platforms in 2013 in seven regions across the country but they have not been brought under a unified scheme yet. Coal-fired power is the first industry included into the national ETS, covering around 3 billion tonnes (bt) of greenhouse gas emitted in China every year. China will promote carbon trade in power sectors, Jiang Zhaoli, vice director of the climate change department at the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, said.  The government will also include more high-energy consuming industries such as steel, non-ferrous and construction materials, into the scheme. The nationwide ETS aims to cover 8 bt of carbon dioxide emission per annum from around 100,000 industrial plants when the trading scheme is fully launched. The ETS is designed to encourage power utilities and manufacturers to reduce emissions through a market mechanism. Some scholars in China, however, are questioning the necessity of the ETS due to overlapping of policies. On the whole, China also plans to introduce a carbon tax and a renewable power quota system with a similar aim of boosting clean energy consumption and cutting emission at industrial plants. China said it has cut carbon intensity by 45.8 percent in 2018 from the level in 2005, exceeding the target of lowering it 45 percent by 2020. It also pledged to bring emission to a peak by around 2030 as part of its commitments to the 2015 Paris accord.

“The plumbers can’t do much until the walls are framed inside because all their stuff goes inside the walls,” said Grubb. “A lot of the heat and air duct and the sprinkler system is overhead and we won’t be able to put that in until the walls are in place because a strong wind could damage the ducts.”

Take off your pantyhose, fill ’em up with salt, and toss ’em on your roof perpendicular to the ice dams. The idea is that the salt will leak through the pantyhose and create channels for the water to drain through, preventing water from leaking into your house.

“They didn’t care and they didn’t do their jobs. I don’t know how else to describe it,” Champ said outside the inquest.

“The best advice I can give for keeping healthy on Passover is to listen to your body,” adds Rothfeld. “Just because it’s a holiday, don’t overeat, and even though it looks amazing, don’t eat it if you’re not hungry.” (Kind of the flip side to the Haggadah notation: “All who are hungry, come and eat.”)

Peter Oshogwe, trained electrician from Etsako central said: “we are very grateful. This is first time someone is coming out to share empowerment tools for us. We appreciate this gesture. In fact, this material is special to us because it will help us to do better in our businesses. We can now have more customers and make more money. Some of us have the training just that we don’t have the equipment to use, today is a great day for me.”

The basic technique for painting a flat door is long, smooth brush strokes, or vertical roller strokes. But interior doors are often paneled, and should be painted in the following order:

This phenomenon will occur during the summer as well, when daytime temperatures are above 90 degrees Fahrenheit and night temperatures are above 75 degrees Fahrenheit.

Both the 75pc and 90pc types offer superior placement of pesticide on the target and reduce drift considerably. Older sprayers generally do not have low drift nozzles unless the sprayer was serviced in recent years.

2 April. In a bid to ensure standardization of solar components across India’s solar power ecosystem, Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has floated a draft quality control order for Solar Thermal Systems, in accordance with the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) guidelines. The MNRE has already announced the quality control order for SPV (solar photovoltaic) Systems. According to the draft order, a manufacturer or seller of solar thermal systems will now have to register with BIS to obtain a Standard Mark. The order has also prohibited storage, sale, import or distribution of solar thermal systems by manufacturers or by any person on behalf of a manufacturer which does not bear the Standard Mark. However, the manufacturers of solar thermal systems meant for exports are exempted from the requirement of applying for a Standard Mark from BIS. The Order — Solar Thermal, Systems, Devices and Components Goods (Requirements for Compulsory Registration) Order, 2019 – will come into force a year after its publication in the Official Gazette. In order to ensure compliance of the guidelines, MNRE can seek information along with sample of goods from the manufacturers on the systems any time. The MNRE can also inspect the systems at any point in time. In cases of contravention, the ministry can also search and seize goods. In cases where the solar thermal systems are of varying size and rating, the goods will be grouped and granted series approval. A sample of solar thermal systems of a registered user will be drawn from his manufacturing unit or from the market for ascertaining their conformity to the standards. The samples will be drawn at least once in two years for a product or series of products covered under the scope of registration granted.

The global agriculture drone market has been segmented on the basis of type, and application. The type segment has further been categorized into fixed-wing, multi-rotor (also known as quad copter) and hybrid drones. Fixed-Wing type of drones holds the largest market share globally. However, multi-rotor type of drones are expected to display comparatively healthy growth during the forecast period.
