What Is Clamshell Dredging?
In the world of dredging, there are a lot of tools and machines that can be used. To most people, these are just large pieces of equipment, and one looks much like another. To the expert, however, these machines have specific purposes. One important machine is for clamshell dredging, a unique process with specific areas of application.
What Is Dredging?
This is the act of removing sediment and debris from the bottom of a body of water, including harbors, lakes, rivers, and ponds. This process is necessary because as sedimentation (sand and silt) washes downstream or from shore, it gradually fills in these areas.
The purpose of dredging is to ensure that navigation channels, berthing areas, or anchorages are the right depth to allow ships and boats to safely pass through them. Since many ships and boats bring in imported goods from around the world, they are an important part of the local and global economy and need to move easily to get to their ports and destinations.
Another role of dredging is to reduce exposure to contaminants and to ensure that those contaminants don't get into other bodies of water. This process protects fish, wildlife, and humans. The disposal of the sediment that is taken out of the body of water is managed and accomplished by local, state, and federal governments. In some cases, private entities such as port authorities will also be involved in this task.
The machines used in the dredging process are called dredges. Clamshell dredging is done by a particular dredge that has a self-filling and discharging scoop or bucket. It is attached to a crane, which is also where the engine and controls are also located. Sometimes, this is also referred to as "grab dredging."
A clamshell dredge will have a rotating cab or a fixed A-frame that is mounted to a barge. A driver controls the system and uses a bucket that is lowered into the water to grab, or clamshell, the sediment. The term clamshell refers to the action, which looks a bit like the two sides of a clam's shell clamping together.
After the bucket closes or clamshells around the material, the bucket is hoisted out of the water using the crane and cables and then deposited onto a barge where it can be taken for disposal.
This different from backhoe dredging, which uses a backhoe to dig out the sediment, or suction dredgers, which basically act like a giant vacuum. Clamshell dredging is normally done with equipment that is stationary and fixed at the excavation site with spuds or anchors. In some cases, the cranes can be placed on self-propelled hoppers which transport the materials for disposal rather than placing them on a barge.
Are There Advantages to Clamshell Dredging?
The advantages of using a clamshell dredger is that they can be used in fairly deep waters, they are great for precise spot dredging, and they can remove isolated areas above grades along dock walls, in the corners of docks, and in the navigation prism.
Clamshell dredgers can be used to take out cobbles, sands, clay, gravel, and occasionally broken rock. They aren't particularly helpful in fine silts because these have a tendency to slide out of the bucket. However, even this can be overcome with specially sealed buckets when necessary.
Where Are Clamshell Dredgers Used?
Large clamshell dredges are typically used for bulk dredging, but smaller ones can be used for special jobs that include harbors that are hard to access, for sand and gravel mining, and in moraine areas where large rocks may be expected.
Looking for a Clamshell Dredger?
If you have any clamshell dredging needs, then contact United Dredging. We have the skill and equipment to help with any dredging project you might have.

Daniel Alpert Joins Cornell Law School as Senior Fellow in Finance and Macroeconomics
Daniel Alpert is a member of the CPA Advisory Board. We congratulate him on his new academic appointment.
The Clarke Program on the Law and Regulation of Financial Institutions and Markets, part of Cornell's Jack G. Clarke Business Law Institute, is pleased to announce that Daniel Alpert has joined the Program as Senior Fellow in Finance and Macroeconomics.
Mr. Alpert is a founding Managing Partner of Westwood Capital, LLC and its affiliates. He has more than 35 years of international merchant banking and investment banking experience, including a wide variety of work-out and bankruptcy related restructuring transactions. A pioneer in securitizations and other innovative financing techniques since the 1980s, Mr. Alpert has, in the past decade, also come to be increasingly relied upon by legislators, the White House, regulators, and the media to explain and advise upon complex financial matters that even well-educated laypersons have difficulty understanding. He is widely quoted in print outlets including The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, the Reuters, AP and Bloomberg wires, Forbes, Fortune and many other periodicals. He is a frequent guest commentator on all of the principal business news networks – Bloomberg, CNBC and Fox Business News – and also appears on CNNI and the BBC.
Since the financial crisis that erupted in 2008, Mr. Alpert has become a widely-sought and -cited author on economic policy. His co-authored The Way Forward, written with Edward Cornell Professor of Law Robert Hockett and NYU Economics Professor Nouriel Roubini for the New America Foundation in 2011, received much attention from members of the U.S. Congress as well as from The New York Times, The Atlantic, Foreign Affairs, NPR, and other media. His 2013 book,The Age of Oversupply: Overcoming the Greatest Challenge to the Global Economy, is cited as one of the best diagnoses of the world's economic ills in the new millennium. His 2016 white paper for Third Way, entitled GLUT: The U.S. Economy and the American Worker in the Age of Oversupply, explained the connection between global imbalances and the U.S. employment situation. And his co-authored The Debt Goes On, written with Professor Hockett for the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis and published in Challenge late last year, is widely viewed as the most comprehensive update of the nation's private debt challenges since the end of the last crisis. Mr. Alpert is also a founder of the World Economic Roundtable, a Fellow of The Century Foundation, and a member of the Economic Club of New York.

I'd heartily recommend to anyone who enjoys the Bluesier side of the tracks.
If you're a fan of the classic Punk Pop sound, there's no doubt in my mind you will appreciate this album and the first class songs on it.
An album with a different feel, on which Phillips steps up and who will most likely share a little more of the limelight with Momsen.
Stands toe to toe with anything else in the genre in terms of dynamism and song-writing.
Suffers from this "make an album because we can" feeling.
Metal and Punk fans might find something here to enjoy.


I've always felt an entrepreneurial pull, so it was just a matter of time before I took the leap and opened my own private practice. In June 2014, I made this a reality.
At the time I launched my business, my husband and I also planned to start a family. I thought about waiting, but decided there didn't exist a "perfect" time to launch a practice—or a family, for that matter. But the sooner I started, the sooner I could build and grow my practice.
Starting a private practice is a labor of love to set up and get running as you work your way up to a full schedule. If you want this type of independent work life, however, you need to make a plan and carry it out. So if you're thinking about doing it, my best advice is to start NOW and build it up over time!
Here I am a year after launching my practice and I go on maternity leave. I considered putting my clients on hold, but instead—over the course of the year—I strategically hired 10 speech-language pathologists (contractors) to work part-time with my clients. Now I can use these known SLPs to cover my maternity leave.
Hire contractors prior to going on leave. If you don't already employ anyone or work with contractors, hire someone to take over your clients. This approach lets you keep your clients and just transition them temporarily to another fabulous therapist!
Continue to build your practice. New clients go to your contractors and this helps increase both the practice's monthly income as well as yours. You can enjoy being mommy and not stress about money while on leave—after all, when you run your own practice, you don't get paid leave unless you create it for yourself!
Set up your practice on day 1 as if it is day 365 and you own a large, booming practice. This prevents wasted time changing medical record systems or tweaking policies and procedures when you become too busy seeing clients and/or going on maternity leave.
Provide the best customer service while on leave. Whether clients work with me or a contractor—or they started with me and transitioned to a contractor—I schedule check-ins to make sure they're happy with their therapist and their child's progress. As the owner of the practice, I make it a priority to let families know I'm available as a resource even while on leave.
Show face. While on leave, I checked in with the school sites we serve—and brought baby along to introduce her to everyone. Don't just disappear! Someone else might walk in and take over your sites (if you go into schools) and the relationships you invested your time into building.
The last tip I leave with you is this: Enjoy your maternity leave!!! When you own your own practice, you get to determine how long a maternity leave you want to take and how many days a week you want to work when you do return—assuming you do return. I'm still up in the air on some of these decisions, but I enjoy the freedom to be flexible and it feels great!!
Hi Hallie, I'm curious. Do you use a software program for billing? Is your practice private pay, Medicaid or private insurance? I'm thinking about doing the same type of practice in Arkansas. Thanks!
Great article that even a guy like me can benefit from. In fact I found this article so good I am talking to her today. Look for Hallie on my podcast soon at StartaTherapyPractice.com.
For billing software you might check out Officeally.com. We have used them for a while in my practice.
Cynthia, I too am in Arkansas and Medicaid has a free billing software system called PES which is pretty easy to use and they will train you on it. Probably most of your clients will have Medicaid.

I have been using computers for pretty much my entire life. The first computer I used was an Apple Macintosh IIgs in school in the early 1990s. For about the first 10 years of my life, I had only used Apple computers because that's what they had in my school district. I became very familiar with the SE, LC, Performa, PowerMac, iMac, G3/G4 models. Our first family computer was a PC, and I've been a PC user ever since.
This page is mostly for my own reference to document the different computers I have owned and the parts and specs of each machine.
This was the first computer I built entirely by myself. It has been upgraded many times since 2007 and I continue to use it every day.
Our family purchased this computer brand new from Dell in the fall of 2000. For seven years it was our only computer. It is now a backup computer and test bed for other projects. The machine has been heavily upgraded from its original specs which included 128MB of RAM, a 32MB nVidia video vard, a 10GB hard drive, and Windows Me (Millennium Edition) OS.
This was the first computer our family ever had. We signed up with AOL (and later, EarthLink) dial up Internet. We gave this computer away in the fall of 2000 when we replaced it with our Dell desktop.

Just take a look at this picture. I never thought I had hoarding tendencies, but the proof is in the photo. I found all these while packing up the house. And truth be told, there were more of them that I was too embarrassed to add to the pic. My kids are 22, 20, and 18—why do I have all these?????
What silly thing do you hoard?
I think I've got a couple of these too and my kids are older than yours! Not by much but still.
I think I'm going to say picture books. Not really a "silly" thing but there are no grandchildren, now or in the foreseeable future, but I still buy them.
Picture books are still books and books are necessary for a full and rich life. I still buy picture books too. No children or grandchildren here either.
Tupperware containers. I could open a store.
I just threw out dishes from old microwave meals. My husband thought I should have saved them.
Love this. I also seem to collect these things. You never know, right?
Just to give you some credit, sometimes we unintentionally hold onto stuff. Did you realize you still had them or were you surprised to find them? And two, did you pack them to take with you? If yes, then maybe an intervention is in order. :) Happy moving!
And I am clueless what they are. My boyfriend is a hoarder. Only when I ask about something, he throws it away. So, I just pick it up and throw it away myself now. Almost like he is too lazy to pick it up and throw it away, like empty boxes, so I think we still have that thing, and we don't. I can get very mad about that at times. Throw it away, let me know I need to buy a new one.
Those kinds of things just get pushed to the back and sort of ignored. To Aurian - those are medicine dosers used for children who are too young to take pills or use spoons.


The Corporate Governance System adopted by Pirelli & C. S.p.A. (hereafter, "Pirelli & C." or the "Company") from 2000, envisages setting up a Committee for Internal Control and Corporate Governance (hereafter, the "Committee"), in 2009 this Committee was renamed "Committee for Internal Control, Risks and Corporate Governance" 48.
The Committee has advisory and proposing functions and its mission is to assure the efficiency, effectiveness and correctness of the internal control system, on the one hand, and the corporate governance structure, in general, on the other hand, based on an appropriate preparatory activity in relation to the risk management system.
The Committee is composed of five members, who are exclusively independent based on the more rigorous approach as recommended by the "new" Self-Disciplinary Code of the Italian Stock Exchange (Borsa Italiana) of December 2011, in fact, the 2006 version of the Self-Disciplinary Code recommended this Committee was to be composed of non-executive Directors, of which "only" the majority where to be Independent Directors.
The Committee is appointed by the Board of Directors (that also indicates the Chairman) and remains in office for the duration of the Board of Directors' entire mandate.
Two members of the Committee (Carlo Secchi and Franco Bruni) have adequate experience in accounting and finance matters, as assessed by the Board of Directors at the date the appointment was made49.
The Secretary of the Board of Directors, Ms. Anna Chiara Svelto acts as the Secretary to the Committee.
The entire Board of Statutory Auditors has the authority to participate in the Committee's activities.
48 Also in line with the requirements of the Self-Regolatory Code Principle 8.P.4.
49 The choice made by the Company is stricter than the one provided by the Self- Regulatory Code of Conduct for Listed Companies: criterion of application 8.C.4.
This circumstance characterizes the corporate governance rules adopted by the Company and offers the whole Board of Statutory Auditors the opportunity to directly monitor the activities of the Committees and perform his control functions more effectively.

Analysis: It's a Precarious Time for Any Official in Trump's Orbit
House Oversight Leaders Press Tardy Agencies to Reveal Their Travel Costs
Committee chairman threatens Agriculture and Justice with subpoenas.
Charles S. Clark
The bipartisan team of House investigators looking into Trump administration overspending on Cabinet member air travel issued a subpoena threat on Wednesday to two agencies "noncompliant" with document requests: the Agriculture and Justice departments.
House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., and ranking member Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., sent letters to the heads all major agencies indicating whether they were compliant, partially compliant or noncompliant with the panel's Sept. 26 request.
The panel launched its probe late last month following a spate of reporting on possible abuses of travel privileges by department heads using private or military planes for sometimes personal or political events. Several inspectors general are investigating the problem that has implicated Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke, Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Veterans Affairs Secretary David Shulkin.
Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price lost his job over his use of private charter flights at taxpayers' expense. On Thursday, an HHS spokeswoman confirmed to Government Executive that Price, before departing, followed through in writing a check to the Treasury partially reimbursing the government for the improper flights.
"Under 5 U.S.C. § 5733, official travel on the part of federal employees must be 'by the most expeditious means of transportation practicable' and 'commensurate with the nature and purpose of the [employee's] duties,' and by no means should include personal use," Gowdy and Cummings wrote in September.
After reviewing documents submitted by agencies by the Oct. 10 deadline, the House lawmakers reserved their harshest language for Agriculture Secretary Sonny Purdue and Attorney General Jeff Sessions. "If you are unable to provide the originally requested documents and information by October 24, 2017, we ask your staff to schedule an in-person meeting to discuss the status of the matter with committee staff," said the letter signed by Gowdy and Cummings. "If you have not complied with the request or satisfactorily provided a good-faith commitment for complying in full on or before October 31, 2017, the chairman intends to issue a subpoena for the materials."
For some of the agencies that were fully or partially compliant, the lawmakers asked for additional information. To Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta, for example, they wrote, "Please provide the requested documents and information from the September 26 letter that fall within the timeframe of January 1, 2016, to January 19, 2017. This additional request is necessary to assess the frequency and nature of this issue to help determine whether new policies or regulations need to be enacted or perhaps to even change the nature of appropriations to your department."
The entities in partial compliance were the: White House, U.S. Agency for International Development, EPA, NASA, the Small Business Administration and the departments of Defense, Education, HHS, Homeland Security, State, Treasury, Transportation and Veterans Affairs.
The fully compliant agencies were the General Services Administration, the National Science Foundation, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the Office of Personnel Management, the Social Security Administration and the departments of Commerce, Energy, Labor (despite the request for additional information), Housing and Urban Development, and Interior.
The White House, in a letter to Gowdy and Cummings, reminded them that the law governing official travel does not apply to the president and the White House, and that some of the documents relating to non-career appointees reside with the agency components.
Update: This story has been updated to note that former HHS Secretary Tom Price did in fact issue a check to the Treasury to cover the some of the cost to taxpayers of his improper flights.
NEXT STORY: Do People Like Government 'Nudges'? Study Says: Yes


New Delhi, Apr 14: The Congress on Sunday demanded a probe into the alleged transportation of a "suspicious black trunk" in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's helicopter during his visit to Chitradurga in Karnataka for poll campaign.
Congress spokesperson Anand Sharma asked the prime minister to come clean and said the Election Commission should inquire into the contents of the "trunk". He said the Congress' Karnataka unit has already filed a complaint with the Election Commission in this regard. The prime minister had addressed an election rally in Karnataka's Chitradurga on April 9.
The party also played a video clip claiming that the purported trunk, after being unloaded from the PM's helicopter, was shipped to a private Innova car, that Sharma alleged was not a part of the SPG carcade, and taken away. Sharma also asked Modi to give an account of his five-year rule to the people of the country as a tribute to Dr B R Ambedkar on his birth anniversary.


Startup Weekend is a global event facilitated by TechStars where people come together to build a business in a span of 54 hours. Ever since its inception, The Nest I/O has been hosting Startup Weekend and welcoming the fresh ideas all the budding entrepreneurs of Karachi have to offer. But this year was particularly exciting for us because we got the opportunity to conduct Startup Weekend Women and do so not once but two times.
Our mind gym was packed with participants on the first day, eager to embark upon an exciting journey!
Startup Weekend Women is a one its kind initiative wherein women (and also some men) from all walks of life come together under one roof to exhibit their ideas, develop functional business models and show the world that it really is possible to refine an idea into a potential company over the weekend.
The event kicked off with a short introductory address from Jehan Ara, The Bird Bird, followed by 'Half Baked', an ice breaking activity which required the participants to create and pitch a business revolving around two keywords in just eight minutes. Following this the participants individually pitched ideas which were then voted upon and out of 39 ideas 16 were shortlisted on the basis of votes. Once the ideas were on the table, everyone got to networking and teams began to form.
Jehan Ara, The Big Bird at The Nest I/O, conducting an introductory address.
Over the course of the next two days the teams worked tirelessly, left no stones unturned and went from having just an idea in their heads to having a fully planned business ready to be pitched. During this entire process they were constantly being guided and mentored by members of our team as well as external coaches from diverse backgrounds who had been invited to impart their expertise. Each of them took the time to come and talk to the teams about the things they should be looking into, the potential problems they may face and gave them general pointers about starting a business.
We also had outreach partners who came in during the course of the three day event, met with the participants and got a taste of what The Nest I/O is all about while spreading the word.
Apart from this, we also arranged for some inspiring women to come and conduct speaker sessions in an effort to inculcate the spirit of entrepreneurship in the participants. They spoke about their respective journeys, the struggles they faced and all the lessons they learned along the way. Their insights offered a valuable perspective into the mind of a seasoned entrepreneur.
When it came to the final pitches, we had a panel of four incredible women, each with numerous accolades to their name. The panel was not confined to a single field or industry with our judges hailing from different backgrounds. Our very own Jehan Ara was also amongst this panel of judges but apart from her we reached out to three other accomplished women to join her.
We were swept into a whirlwind of innovation with thirteen ideas being pitched on the final day, each unique, structured and implementable. The ideas ranged from an all female scooter hailing service operating to empower women to cloth sanitary napkins being produced with the mission of increasing awareness for menstrual health in rural communities. Among these ideas, our panel of judges awarded prizes to the top three.
The judges and organizers get a photo taken with all the winners.
Despite this being the second edition within the same year, Startup Weekend Women at The Nest I/O proved that Pakistan is brimming with raw talent. We have a sea of individuals who are all set to make an impact, build an empire or just solve a simple problem. Thanks to the participants, judges, speakers, coaches and the media (Geo TV), the second edition matched and surpassed the first. Here's to all of you, working wonders once again.

The Philosophy of Mind remains the only sourcebook of primary readings offering in-depth coverage of both historical works and contemporary controversies in philosophy of mind. This second edition provides expanded treatment of classical as well as current topics, with many additional readings and a new section on mental content. The writers included range from Aristotle, Descartes, and William James to such leading contemporary thinkers as Noam Chomsky, Paul and Patricia Churchland, and Jaegwon Kim. The 83 selections provide a thorough survey of five areas of enduring controversy: the mind-body problem, mental causation, mental content, innatism and modularity, and associationism and connectionism. Each section includes an introductory overview of the topic by the editors as well as suggestions for further reading.
The selections added for the second edition serve both to enhance historical coverage and to update contemporary issues, especially in areas of current empirical research such as connectionism and innatism. Changes to historical coverage include a wider array of readings on classic positions as well as neglected precursors to views often considered recent innovations. The section on the mind-body problem in particular has been greatly expanded, including numerous selections on consciousness and phenomenal qualities (qualia). The book is ideal for both undergraduate and graduate courses in philosophy and the history of psychology and will be useful both as a reference for researchers and a self-contained survey for the general reader.

Mark Stoops Ties Paul "Bear" Bryant for Most Wins in School History
UK Athletics
Kentucky opened the 2022 season with a 37-13 win at Kroger Field vs. Miami (Ohio), a milestone victory for Mark Stoops.
The UK coach recorded win number 60 as the head coach at Kentucky, tying Paul "Bear" Bryant for the most in school history. Bryant coached the Wildcats from 1946-1953, finishing his Kentucky career with a record of 60-23-5.
Stoops now owns a 60-53 record as head coach of the Wildcats. He was 12-26 through two games during the 2016 season, an impressive turnaround in six seasons.
Ironically enough, Stoops' first win of his UK career was a 41-7 victory vs. Miami (Ohio) in September 2013.
Next up for the Wildcats is a road trip to Florida, where Stoops will have an opportunity to move into sole possession of the all-time wins record by a head coach at Kentucky.
Late Sunday reports and rumblings arose that current Mississippi State coach and former Kentucky...

Q: How to "PERFORM" CTE queries in PL/pgSQL? I tried to simulate my problem in the code example below. In the code below, I am doing a select * from test in a procedure. As we know, we must use the perform keyword for this. This works great:
perform * from test;

However, if I try to rewrite that simple query as a CTE, I cannot get it working. I am getting a syntax error.
with test_as_cte as(select * from test) perform * from test_as_cte;

Is this possible? What is the correct syntax? I tried several alternatives and going through documentation, but without any success so far.
(Please note that this is just an example to explain my problem. I know the queries do not really make any sense.)
create table test
(
    key int primary key
);

create function test() returns trigger as
$$
begin
    raise notice 'hello there';
    -- this does work
    perform * from test;
    -- this doesn't work
    with test_as_cte as(select * from test) perform * from test_as_cte;
    return new;
end;
$$
language plpgsql;

create trigger test after insert on test for each row execute procedure test();

insert into test(key) select 1;

A: try:
perform (with test_as_cte as(select * from test) select * from test_as_cte);

I would never think you might need CTE and ignore the result, but if you need, thinking of perform as of "select no return" logic leads to above semantics. or perform * from (CTE) or alike

Q: ¿Cómo guardar un .pdf generado en un servidor diferente al servidor que lo genero? Tengo un código que crea y guarda un .pdf en el servidor 192.188.78.4 y por motivos ajenos a mi voluntad me piden que lo guarde en 192.188.78.9, es posible hacer eso? el servidor web es el (...)78.4 y se debe guardar en otra aplicación alojada en el (...)78.9
 public void guardar_GenPDF()
    {// este es el 192.188.78.4
      string path="D:\\Hosting\\PDFs\\Datagen_" + lastIdenty + ".pdf";
    }

A: Por lo visto en tu mensaje, estás trabajando con servidores Windows. Esto implica que si compartes en el servidor de destino la ruta en que deseas guardar los pdfs, se podría cambiar la ruta de destino por la que quede compartida...
Es decir, si el servidor 192.188.78.9 es un servidor Windows, y la carpeta en que deseas que queden los archivos compartidos la compartes con el nombre PDFs, podrías modificar tu path en el código para que quede algo así como:
 public void guardar_GenPDF()
    {// este es el 192.188.78.4
      string path=@"\\192.188.78.9\PDFs\Datagen_" + lastIdenty + ".pdf";
    }

Es necesario considerar que debes asignar los permisos adecuados para que la aplicación ejecutándose en el server que genera los archivos tenga permisos para escribir en la carpeta compartida.

Decarbonising shipping isn't simply about replacing engines. The complete fuel supply chain needs to be considered too.
Authored by Andreea Miu and Elizabeth Petit Gonzalez from the Secretariat of the Sustainable Shipping Initiative.
There is no one-size-fits-all solution for shipping's decarbonisation, but in order to set shipping on a path to fully decarbonise by 2050, the industry needs to end its reliance on fossil fuels and shift to zero and low carbon fuels, alongside technical and operational energy efficiency measures, improving resource use, and implementing alternative
propulsion methods.
In its Fourth GHG study, the International Maritime Organization predicts that over 60% of emissions reduction efforts by 2050 will be achieved by zero and low carbon marine fuels such as electrofuels (e.g., ammonia and hydrogen) and biomass derived fuels (e.g., biodiesel and bio methane).
But what makes a fuel zero and low carbon?
A zero and low carbon fuel is generally associated with zero or low emissions at point of combustion onboard a vessel. When discussing the lifecycle of a fuel, emissions resulting from onboard combustion are referred to as 'tank to wake' emissions. Many fuels
under consideration for shipping's decarbonisation can be considered as having zero or low emissions when only this stage of the fuel's lifecycle is taken into consideration. However, in order to fully understand if a fuel is zero and low emissions a broader approach that looks at the whole fuel value chain (well-to-wake) is needed.
Well-to-wake includes all the operations that a fuel has gone through before being applied onboard (well-to-tank) as well as the combustion or propulsion process (tank-to-wake). For biomass derived fuels this includes the collection of residues or the cultivation of biomass. For electrofuels it includes the production of electricity, which is in turn used to produce hydrogen for the fuel. For all fuel types, it includes production through various means, any conversion process (e.g. gas to liquid), transportation between facilities, storage and distribution to the point of bunkering, and finally, the combustion or propulsion process on-board the ship.
All lifecycle stages prior to bunkering create emissions and impact the world around them. Therefore, in order for a fuel to be sustainable and zero or low carbon, it must take into account impacts and emissions across the full well-to-wake lifecycle.
At the same time, low GHGs and carbon intensity only cover a fraction of the sustainability issues that should be addressed. A sustainable fuel must be environmentally, socially and economically sustainable, and underpinned by the continuous improvement of its sustainability performance.
The Sustainable Shipping Initiative (SSI) has been working to develop a set of sustainability criteria that can be applied to all zero and low carbon fuels alongside members including LR, Maersk, The China Navigation Company, and WWF, as well as academic partner Copenhagen Business School (CBS) Maritime.
The work has identified a set of fifteen issues that encompass environmental, social, and economic factors, with corresponding principles and criteria, to provide clarity around the sustainability concerns of zero and low carbon fuels, and to ensure that sustainability is addressed alongside availability, cost, and technical feasibility in decarbonisation discussions.
• Lifecycle Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions
• Lifecycle Short lived Climate Forcers (SLFC) emissions
• Air quality
• Carbon source
• Electricity / Energy source
• Sustainable resource use
• Land use
• Ecological impacts
• Economic well being
• Social equity
• Social, labour, and human rights
• Food security
• Health, safety, and security
• Continuous improvement
Understanding sustainability issues from a lifecycle perspective allows for informed decision-making concerning value chain risks and helps direct choices for investment, purchase and consumption. Eventually, sustainability certification of zero and low carbon marine fuels can provide assurance to the organisations investing in zero and low carbon marine fuel options, promoting trust across the value chain, mitigating risk, and aiding in the selection of sustainable zero and low carbon options for shipping.

Q: Hibernate - one to Many relationship I am using hibernate one to many relationship to save and get my data,
I am getting value of agency when reading data but when saving agency value in database it is not inserting.
Can any one help me to know what wrong I am doing
In my jsp I am using following code to show agency dropdown

                            Agency

}

following is code to insert record
@Override
    public boolean saveCampaign(CampaignEntity campaignObj) {
        try{
            Session session=getCurrentSession();
            session.beginTransaction();
            session.saveOrUpdate(campaignObj);
            session.getTransaction().commit();
            return true;
        } catch(Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return false;
    }

Thanks in advance

A: You must use @Cascade annotation also in CampaignEntity at agencies field
@Getter
@Setter
@ManyToOne
@JoinColumn(name = "agency_id")
@org.hibernate.annotations.Cascade( {org.hibernate.annotations.CascadeType.SAVE_UPDATE})
private AgencyEntity agencies;

A: Try replacing session.beginTransaction() with session.getTransaction() and then commiting that transaction. If Spring is managing your transactions, the transaction probably already exists, and you don't need to start another one yourself.
@Override
public boolean saveCampaign(CampaignEntity campaignObj) {
    try{
        Session session = getCurrentSession();
        session.getTransaction().begin();
        session.saveOrUpdate(campaignObj);
        session.getTransaction().commit();
        return true;
    } catch(Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return false;
}
