Tomato suckers are also called laterals or side shoots. Suckers are the new growth that appears in the leaf axile between the stem and a leaf. If left to grow, a sucker can become another strong stem with flowers and fruit. Tomato suckers can directly compete with the main stem for nutrients, water, and sunlight, thus weakening the main stem.

MAPUTO, Mozambique — Area 4 co-venture participants have secured liquefied natural gas (LNG) offtake commitments from affiliated buyer entities of the partners, a key milestone enabling the participants to rapidly move toward a final investment decision in 2019 on the first phase of the Rovuma LNG project. Area 4 participants are ExxonMobil, Eni, China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC), Empresa Nacional de Hidrocarbonetos, Kogas and Galp.Those commitments are subject to the conclusion of fully-termed agreements, which will be finalized and initialed in the next weeks, and the approval of the government of Mozambique.“The Rovuma LNG marketing team has worked at an accelerated pace to reach this important milestone, a tremendous achievement made possible by the strength of the Area 4 co-venture parties and the support of the government of Mozambique,” said Peter Clarke, president of ExxonMobil Gas and Power Marketing Company.Massimo Mantovani, Eni chief gas and LNG marketing and power officer, said, “These commitments are an important step forward for the Rovuma LNG project and provide a solid foundation for securing project financing. This achievement highlights the strength of our partnership and commitment to developing Mozambique’s natural resources.”In July 2018, Mozambique Rovuma Venture submitted the development plan to the government of Mozambique for the first phase of the Rovuma LNG project. The project will produce, liquefy and market natural gas from the Mamba fields located in the Area 4 block in the Rovuma Basin offshore Mozambique. ExxonMobil will lead construction and operation of natural gas liquefaction and related facilities on behalf of the Area 4 joint venture, and Eni will lead construction and operation of upstream facilities.The development plan for the first phase of the Rovuma LNG project specifies the proposed design and construction of two liquefied natural gas trains, which will each produce 7.6 Mt of LNG per year. Mozambique Rovuma Venture is currently holding productive discussions with the Mozambican government on development plan details.In addition to generating government revenues, the proposed Rovuma LNG project will support long-term economic growth in Mozambique by developing the local workforce, building the capabilities of and demand for local suppliers, and assisting with community development efforts.Mozambique Rovuma Venture S.p.A., an incorporated joint venture owned by ExxonMobil, Eni and CNPC, holds a 70% participation interest in the Area 4 exploration and production concession contract alongside Empresa Nacional de Hidrocarbonetos, Galp and Kogas, each of which hold a 10% interest.

Decipher Energy said that during the clean-up flow, the development well was confirmed to have a capacity to deliver the expected peak production rates of more than 10,000 bopd.

The US’ decision not to extend sanctions waivers for eight countries importing crude oil from Iran could remove around 1.1 MMb/d from global production, according to Rystad Energy.

Professor Carlo Leifert, who led the British study, told Newcastle University researchers that, “This study demonstrates that choosing food produced according to organic standards can lead to increased intake of nutritionally desirable antioxidants and reduced exposure to toxic heavy metals.”

Verdict: This might be a nice way to get down to the roof surface, and it might prevent leakage from ice dams if enough channels are created for water to drain through, but you’re still left with a huge ice dam.

Save money on plumber visits and use one of these drain snakes the next time your sink backs up. Just insert one of the flexible snakes into the clogged drain and pull up: The barbs on the snake will catch any hair or gunk that might be causing the back-up, so your sink drains efficiently again. They’re easy to use — and a lot gentler on your pipes than chemical options.

Production will head through the Ninian Pipeline System to the Sullom Voe Terminal on Shetland for processing and offtake.

“We continue to progress all key deliverables to bring Liberator to first oil and expect to provide updates on funding and finalization of offtake terms in due course.”

The technologies that are used to design and manufacture sprinkler systems have undergone quite a few advancements and improvements since the 1870’s, but the basic concept actually has changed very little because flooding a room with water is still a very effective means of extinguishing or containing a fire quickly.  The overhead sprinkler heads are sealed with wax, metals which melt at relatively low temperatures, or a glass bulb which is filled with chemicals that burn quickly (such as alcohols, for example), and once a room reaches a certain temperature, the seals melt or break, and then the water is released.  Modern pumps are much more advanced than those found in earlier sprinkler systems, so the water is released faster and at a high volume, and less of it evaporates due to the heat of a fire. Modern systems are also available which use various forms of fire suppression chemicals instead of water.  

Then selection of two products, effective on the target disease, from two different fungicide groupings. Chlorothalonil, the mainstay of most resistance strategies, is still available this year.

When the Times in January requested profit and loss reports on city-related concerts and festivals over the past two years, Parks and Recreation Department Director Kevin Dunbar acknowledged the spreadsheets provided were not reliable. They lacked comprehensive information, like how much Clearwater Police spent supporting an event and certain expenses like staffing and staging costs.
