A piece of bituminous coal
A piece of high-quality anthracite coal
Coal is a hard rock which can be burned as a solid fossil fuel. It is mostly carbon but also contains hydrogen, sulphur, oxygen and nitrogen. It is a sedimentary rock formed from peat, by the pressure of rocks laid down later on top.
Peat, and therefore coal, is formed from the remains of plants which lived millions of years ago in tropical wetlands (coal swamps), such as those of the late Carboniferous period (the Pennsylvanian). Also wood heated in an airless space can make charcoal, which is like coal.
Coal can be burned for energy or heat. About two-thirds of the coal mined today is burned in power stations to make electricity. Like oil, when coal is burned its carbon joins with oxygen in the air and makes a lot of carbon dioxide, which causes climate change. Because of that and other air pollution from coal most countries are turning to new sources of energy, such as solar power. But new coal power plants are still being built in some parts of the world, such as China.
Coal can be roasted (heated very hot in a place where there is no oxygen) to produce coke. Coke can be used in smelting to reduce metals from their ores.

British coalfields in the nineteenth century.
Coal was the most important fuel of the Industrial Revolution.[1] Coal was an important part of rail freight in the UK in the 20th century, forming the greater part of several companies' freight volume. Early in the 21st century most coal fired power stations in the United Kingdom and several other countries were closed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Different kinds of coal and how they form

Peat is not yet coal.
Lignite (brown coal) is the dirtiest coal, is about 60%-70% carbon, and is used as fuel for electric power generation. Jet is a compact form of lignite that is sometimes polished and has long been used as an ornamental stone.
Sub-bituminous coal is used as fuel for steam-electric power generation. Also, it is a source of light aromatic hydrocarbons for the chemical synthesis industry.
Bituminous coal is a dense rock, black but sometimes dark brown. It is a relatively soft coal that breaks and burns readily and quickly. It used as fuel in power stations, and for heat and power applications in manufacturing, for blacksmithing; and to make coke.
Steam coal was once widely used as a fuel for steam locomotives. In this specialized use it is sometimes known as sea-coal in the U.S.[2] Small steam coal (dry small steam nuts or DSSN) was used as a fuel for domestic water heating.
Anthracite is a harder, glossy, black coal. It is longer burning, and used mainly for residential and commercial space heating.
Graphite is difficult to burn and is not so commonly used as fuel. It is still used in pencils, mixed with clay.[3] When powdered, it can be used as a lubricant.
Diamond is commonly believed to be the end result of this process, but this is not true. Diamond is carbon but is not formed from coal.
Coal contains impurities. The particular impurities determine the use. Coking coal has little ash or sulfur or phosphorus. Those would spoil the iron made by the blast furnace.
Environmental problems
Burning coal produces large amounts of air pollution
Coal, when burnt, gives off almost a third more carbon dioxide per unit of energy than oil, and 80% more than natural gas. Almost half of the carbon dioxide from people is because of burning coal so it is the biggest single cause of global warming.[4] Coal contributes to acid rain and smog, especially when burned without scrubbers. Burning coal releases toxic chemicals, including soot, mercury, and carbon monoxide, which contribute to diseases such as cancer and asthma in both humans and wild animals. Coal mining, especially mountaintop removal mining, can damage large areas of land and destroy natural habitats. Higher grades of coal burn more cleanly than lower grades, although they still pollute more than other fuels. In addition to air pollution, burning coal produces toxic coal ash, which can cause water pollution if it is accidentally released into the environment. There are several underground mine fires burning throughout the world. These underground fires release toxic smoke into the air, and can also cause the ground above to collapse. The city of Centralia, Pennsylvania was evacuated and is now abandoned due to an underground coal mine fire.
Deaths and illness from pollution
It is difficult to give exact figures for the effects of coal on health. It is claimed that because of coal every year over 800,000 people die early and millions of people get ill.[5] Coal miners often get pneumoconiosis (black lung disease) from exposure to coal dust.
Protests against coal
Protesting damage to the Great Barrier Reef caused by climate change in Australia
Tree houses for protesting the cutting down of part of Hambach Forest for the Hambach surface mine in Germany: after which the felling was suspended in 2018
Opposition to coal pollution was one of the main reasons the modern environmental movement started in the 19th century.
Peak coal
World Coal Consumption
Peak coal means the year in which most coal is mined or burned. Many countries have already passed their peak coal years, for example Germany in 1985 and the United States in 2008. Now those countries are mining and burning less coal. But China still mines a lot of coal and is helping a few countries, like Pakistan,[6] mine more coal and build more coal-fired power stations. So the peak coal year for the world may have passed.[7]
Compared to other non-renewable sources of energy, coal is inefficient and produces high amounts of greenhouse gases. Coal is commonly found and cheap.
Coal provides about a quarter of the world's heating needs.[8]
Coal-fired power stations produce 37% of the world's electricity.[8]
Almost 70% of world steel production depends on burning coal.[8]
The world's top coal producer is China, which produces about 4 billions tonnes each year, followed in order by India, United States, Australia, Indonesia and Russia with less than a billion tonnes each.[9] The largest exporter by far is Australia and the largest importers are China, India and Japan.
In some cultures, Santa Claus brings coal to misbehaved children for Christmas. This legend comes from Victorian times when it was common to burn coal in the fireplace, rather than wood. Children who did not receive toys would at least get coal to stay warm.

Rehabilitation care for earthquake victims in Pakistan
Emergency | Rehabilitation | Pakistan | PUBLISHED ON November 8th 2019
© Muhammad Reza/ANADOLU AGENCY/AFP PHOTO
On September 24, an earthquake struck Pakistan, killing 40 people and injuring 900. Humanity & Inclusion's team is on the ground, providing support to the most vulnerable.
Nearly 900 people were killed and some 40 injured when a 5.2 magnitude earthquake hit Punjab province in Pakistan on 24 September.
More than 450 houses were partially or totally destroyed.
"People didn't feel safe after the earthquake. They refused to sleep in their homes, even if they weren't damaged, and slept in tents. Parents no longer dared send their children to school. Many empty houses were burgled, which made people feel even more unsafe,"
says Sumaira Bibi, Monitoring and Evaluation Coordinator for HI in Pakistan.
HI assessed the situation in Mirpur in late September to identify the priority needs of victims. Many need to access safe drinking water, sanitation and housing. Although 3,500 tents have been distributed by humanitarian organisations, worryingly they do not provide enough protection from the cold. Many suffer from psychological distress and require support, while others injured in the earthquake need access to rehabilitation care.
HI provides small sums of money to highly vulnerable people, such as single women and people with disabilities, who are unable to do small-scale paid work. They also need to take part in awareness campaigns on the risks of natural disasters and HI's protection activities, which include taking into account the post-disaster needs of the most vulnerable people.
HI also provides rehabilitation care, walking frames, wheelchairs, etc., and psychosocial support to those in need at Mirpur Hospital and in the community.
The organisation provides safe spaces for children where they benefit from psychosocial support and take part in recreational activities. As parents are afraid to let their children go back to school, these spaces recreate a link between families and schools.
Lastly, HI raises awareness of the risks of natural disasters and the need to protect the most vulnerable people, including by broadcasting radio messages and handing out information in villages affected by the earthquake.


Thank you all! The dining room set I want I haven't seen in Big Lots or Value City & at the risk of sounding obnoxious, I probably wouldn't buy the set if I did see it in either of those stores. I was already a little leery because a friend recently bought a living room set there that we eventually saw in Value City (same price as ASG).
It's good to hear the wood is strong tho - the d.r. set we want is all wood.
Bear in mind that you're getting what you pay for to some degree- a $1,000 dining room set isn't going to be the same quality/durability as a $3,000 dining room set in most cases. We just bought a dinette set and some living room tables from American yesterday, as we were looking for pieces in wrought iron and couldn't find what we wanted anywhere else. The quality seems very good for the price, and satisfies our needs.
You do realize that ASG and Value City are all part of the same company, yes? Value City carries ASG as their "upscale" line. The furniture quality is the same in both places.
Any thoughts on Ashleys Furniture or Thomasville? Or anything else in the Amer. Signature price range?
We have bought a few pieces from ASF for the same reason as the OP. We did want anythign from Big Lots per se' (although I guess you never can tell from any store!). Anywho, we bought our bed and two matching night stands. Our bed was wonderful and a very solid heavy wood. The nighstands however were not as nice. We purchased one from the store and the other from their outlet. The wood on teh outlet one peeled and chipped a little bit and occasionally has a weird finish after polishing.
Our sectional was microfiber and is still pretty nice. Overall I wold gie ASF a mid level rating. If you can I would check out Z Gallerie...their prices are a bit higher but better quality. We purchased two leather chairs from them and we always get compliments. The leather is 100% genuine leather and we can tel that it will age quite nicely. Good luck!
If ASG is American Signature Furniture then, we didn't know this at the time so thanks for the info. We didn't plan on purchasing anymore pieces from there anyway.
Yes, I have the entire Signature One Collection, and sereral accessories I Love them! The quality and durabilty of the furniture is great. I have no complaints. Purchasing American Signature Furniture would be a WISE CHOICE..
We have pieces from Lacks, Haverty's, American Signature, Ashley, Rhodes, and Pottery Barn.
With furniture, I don't always believe that you get what you paid for. Everything is nice, luxurious, and durable from PB, but it's expensive.
I bought Natuzzi leather couches and the Ashley leather couches are much more durable and are also luxurious, for half the price.
The ASG furniture also has durable wood. The RTG furniture is all soft wood and is junky.
Thanks for the z gallerie tip. I liked some of the furniture styles from other stores but z gallerie looks like my kind of store. Def making my major pieces of furniture purchases from there.

title: Dave Pell
summary: Writer, news gatherer
date: 2013-10-15
categories:

---

### Who are you, and what do you do?

I am Dave Pell. I write [the NextDraft newsletter](http://www.nextdraft.com "Dave's website.") and [iPhone/iPad app][nextdraft-ios]. Every morning I down about seven inches of black coffee, open up a hundred tabs or so, and from that swirling nightmare of information quicksand, I pluck the top ten most fascinating items of the day, which I deliver with a fast, pithy wit that will make your inbox or iPhone vibrate with delight.

I also write longform essays (mostly on the intersection of the realtime Internet and our real lives). My posts are regularly syndicated on Time, NPR, Gizmodo, and several other news sites.

In addition to my writing, I have been investing in Internet startups since the early days of the first Internet boom. Recent investments include GrubHub, Hotel Tonight, Marin Software, and Liftopia.

I live in the San Francisco Bay Area with my wife and two kids.

### What hardware do you use?

My significant other is the latest generation, maxed-out, [13 inch MacBook Air][macbook-air], custom fitted [with a fancy skin](https://twitter.com/davepell/status/349645724562100225/photo/1 "A photo of Dave's laptop skin."). I usually plug this into an old school keyboard, scrolling mouse, and [Cinema Display monitor][cinema-display] all of which sit atop the makeshift, standup desk in my office. While I've heard about this cloud thing that enables one to access one's data from multiple computers, my Air and I prefer to kick it old school. Wherever I go, it goes (and vice versa).

I am pretty much all Apple all the time, so my other hardware is mostly predicable. I have the latest generation iPhone and an [iPad Mini][ipad-mini], both skinned in [a similarly ego-maniacal manner](https://twitter.com/davepell/status/266212885225680896/photo/1 "A photo of Dave's iPad skin."). I've never been one for reading on an iPad, so I also roll with a [Kindle Paperwhite][kindle-paperwhite].

### And what software?

I use pretty much all the modern web browsers, but I mostly stick with [Safari][] because of its reading list functionality. Just about every word I've published in the last decade and a half has been keyed into [BBEdit][]. My HTML skills don't extend much past the insertion of the occasional line-break (and perhaps a few blink tags back in the day), but I've always loved this program. I'm writing in it right now.

I used the fine tools offered by [Mailchimp][] to send out my newsletter. And I've long used [Wordpress][] for all my blogging needs. Other pieces of software that I use daily include [Simplenote][simplenote], [Notational Velocity][notational-velocity], [Adium][], and [Rdio][]. I often use [Fluid][] to make app versions of web tools I use on a regular basis. And [Woopra][] is my drug of choice for feeding my sick obsession with my own web stats.

### What would be your dream setup?

For the most part, my current setup is only two inches short of my dream setup. I have been begging Apple to come out with a 15 inch MacBook Air. I'm convinced that Tim Cook is unwilling to release this model because he fears the power I'd have with that rig. The whole Internet might go on tilt. I'd also love a pile of old [Mac Pro][mac-pro] keyboards so I wouldn't have to be so worried about the day I finally tap the life out of the last one I've got.

57 children have died due to Acute Encephalitis Syndrome: Bihar Health Minister Mangal Pandey
Till date, more than 140 cases of AES have been reported from 11 districts - Muzaffarpur, Vaishali, Samastipur, Sheohar, Sitamarhi, East Champaran, Patna, Gaya, Jehanabad, Bhojpur and Aurangabad.

Bihar Health Minister Mangal Pandey
Bihar Health Minister Mangal Pandey on Friday said in the last 20-22 days, 57 children have died due to Acute Encephalitis Syndrome (AES) in the state.
On Thursday, officials said, seven more children died of Acute Encephalitis Syndrome-like symptoms in Bihar in last 24 hours.
Children dying due to AES: Here's what has happened so far
With the toll feared to go up as dozens of kids were still being treated in various hospitals, the state and Central governments are scrambling to contain the spread of the disease.
Regional Additional Director, Health, Ashok Kumar Singh, who is based in Muzaffarpur that has been worst hit by the disease outbreak, confirmed deaths of 43 children so far.
As many as 36 children died in the government-run Sri Krishna Medical College and Hospital (SKMCH) and seven in the private Kejriwal hospital as of Wednesday evening, he said.
With dozens of children undergoing treatment, Singh did not rule out more deaths on Thursday even as some reports said that the toll had risen above 60.
Principal Secretary, Health, Sanjay Kumar admitted that many children with symptoms akin to AES are still undergoing treatment in Muzaffarpur and few new patients were also admitted in the hospitals in last 24 hours.
Kumar said that most of children died due to hypoglycaemia (loss of sugar in the blood) and shortage of sodium in their bodies after developing symptoms akin to AES.
A day after the seven-member Central team headed by senior paediatrician Dr Arun Kumar Sinha, national advisor in the Union Health and Family Welfare Ministry, visited Muzaffarpur to review the situation and to help the state in control of the disease, Union Minister of State for Health Ashwani Kumar Choubey reached Muzaffarpur on Thursday.
His visit came as Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan's visit was cancelled at the last moment.

How Rinovasol makes solar energy production even more sustainable and affordable
Online presentation on 22 September 2021 at 5:30 p.m. (in German only)
First-hand information: meet Josef Gmeiner, CEO, and Toralf Nitsch, COO of Rinovasol
Find out more about the project here to make your investment decision with the necessary background knowledge.
Photovoltaics form an important component of renewable energy production. In 2020, its share of the electricity mix was 10.5 per cent. Together, the renewable energy systems - solar power, wind energy, bioenergy and hydropower - were able to generate more electricity than fossil power plants for the first time last year. And it's about time. After all, at least 65 percent of electricity is to come from renewable sources in 2030.
According to a study by the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE), solar energy is the most cost-effective technology for generating electricity in Germany. Photovoltaic systems are also very efficient in terms of energy - after a maximum of two years they have produced as much energy as was used for their production.
Such technology is of course worth preserving. That is why Rinovasol has developed a process to refurbish used modules and thus make them usable again.
The process known as "refurbishment" protects the environment in several ways. On the one hand, the steadily growing demand for solar modules is covered in the sense of a circular economy. Secondly, the refurbishment process produces less waste. The recycling of photovoltaic panels is possible and is also covered by Rinovasol. But why dispose of them when they can still be used?
"The use of photovoltaics must also support the goals of resource efficiency, the careful use of our earth's natural resources."
By Josef Gmeiner, managing director Rinovasol Global O and M GmbH
This is what Rinovasol stands for. To date, the company has refurbished or recycled almost one million solar modules. In order to increase production capacity, the main plant in Weiden in der Oberpfalz is being converted to an almost fully automated production line. Among other things, investments are being made in robotics, or more precisely: in high-performance cameras, scanners and lasers for the production modules.
With the new equipment, 1,000 modules can be refurbished per shift and line. Two shifts per day with a maximum of six people are possible. In other words, production can be ramped up to 6,000 module refurbishments.
What convinced the Innovestment team to offer you this project?
Investing in Rinovasol is about raising growth capital for a company that perfectly aligns our three pillars of entrepreneurship, sustainability and innovation. In addition, there is a sustainable business model in a growth market.
Early investment pays off:
About the bonus conditions
If you invest by 15 April 2021, you will receive an additional 1 percent interest p.a. on the capital you have invested. This brings the interest payment to a total of 8 percent p.a.
By the way: We also offer you interest accrues from day 1 on this project.
WHAT ARE THE ARGUMENTS FOR INVESTING IN RINOVASOL?
Technology leadership in modular refurbishment
Rinovasol already has a world-leading patented technology. The polymer used in the renovation was further developed by Rinovasol from a material used in the military and aerospace sector. Rinovasol holds the exclusive global rights of use.
Profitable business model
In 2020, around 1.2 million euros profit on a turnover of 7.5 million euros. This corresponds to a profit margin of 16 percent.
Wide applicability
More than 95 percent of all solar modules can be renovated with the Rinovasol process.
Convincing track record
Almost one million panels have already been refurbished or recycled.
All-round sustainable orientation
Rinovasol covers the entire vertical value chain in the context of photovoltaics. Modules that cannot be refurbished, for example, are fed into the group's own recycling system.
Rinovasol has developed its own supply chain in the form of its own PC Collect collection system. This includes a fully planned, standardised collection of the solar modules, specially developed transport pallets and an optimal storage system. This guarantees independence, transport safety, economic and time efficiency and saves CO2 on top of that.
Rinovasol is already active in 40 countries and maintains global and long-term partnerships. Partners include leading producers from China, the main supplier of photovoltaic modules, as well as insurance companies.
Who is actually behind the project? Here we have compiled information about the company and its team.
A strong team: Toralf Nitsch, COO, and Josef Gmeiner, CEO of Rinovasol
Toralf Nitsch
"Solar Energy is magic" is Toralf Nitsch's motto. With enthusiasm and innovative power, Toralf Nitsch repeatedly brings ideas from the solar industry to life. One example is the world's first solar modules with storage and plug (balcony power plants), which Mr. Nitsch developed together with his team. Once again, these activities will bring about a change in the market. Disruptive solutions to urgent questions of today's photovoltaic industry are Toralf Nitsch's speciality.
Josef Gmeiner
Technical talent and entrepreneurship with passion, that is what distinguishes Josef Gmeiner. He was already globally active with his companies in his younger years. For over 10 years, Josef Gmeiner has been active in the solar industry as a project planner and full-service provider of turnkey solar plants. His idea to refurbish solar modules is the cornerstone of the Rinovasol Group.
Energy is a fundamental right - this is Josef Gmeiner's opinion and at the same time motivated him to found Rinovasol. His company repairs and recycles solar modules and thus contributes to promoting the expansion of photovoltaics in a sustainable way. In the first part of our interview, he explains what makes Rinovasol special among the competition. He also provides insights into his personal experiences and ventures a look into the future.
"We want to become the market leader for the repair and recycling of solar modules".
Interview with Josef Gmeiner, CEO of Rinovasol
To the interview - part 1
About the Rinovasol Group
The Rinovasol group of companies covers the complete vertical value chain around the production, refurbishment, recall and recycling of photovoltaic modules.
The issuer of this investment is Rinovasol Global O and M GmbH, which specialises in the refurbishment and recycling of solar modules. The refurbishment of the panels does not only take place in the main factory in Weiden. So-called contract refurbishment is also possible, which takes place directly in the photovoltaic parks. Repair work also takes place here; the range of services also includes the assembly and dismantling of complete solar parks.
Rinovasol also offers its services to insurance companies that want to reduce their costs for insurance claims in this area and thus make these areas more profitable again.
Other companies in the Rinovasol Group network are:
Rinovasol Recycling Service GmbH Operation of hammer mills for processing solar modules
RS Constructions GmbH Construction and construction management in the sector of refurbishment of old buildings and construction of solar power plants
PV Collect Worldwide recall system for the solar industry, and registration of new modules
SoleMaxx Direct investments in PPA-managed solar power plants
Polar Furnace Operation of plasma furnaces for metal melting
Rinovasol's clients are primarily companies that manufacture and operate solar plants. In addition, a close network of banks, insurance companies, investment funds and strategic partners from the recycling industry is maintained.
Rinovasol is considered the market and technology leader in the refurbishment of photovoltaic modules. With this, the company solves a problem that manufacturers are often confronted with, even after decades of experience in photovoltaic development. The sore spot is the back foils of the photovoltaic modules. Around 10 % of all modules fail within the manufacturer's factory warranty because of this. As a warranty case, they would have to be disposed of and replaced at the manufacturer's expense. This can be avoided with the repair by Rinovasol.
What's the deal with the back foils?
The backsheet foils have an important function in the production of a photovoltaic module. They are intended to seal the solar cells and the contacts between the safety glass and thus prevent corrosion. At the same time, the stability and rigidity of the entire module should be maintained. The total thickness of the films is between 100 µm and 500 µm and includes elongation strengths of up to 300 MPa.
During production, the films are joined to the remaining layers in a lamination process. Under pressure and temperature, the encapsulation material is combined with the glass and the film to form a solid bond.
How does the error analysis work?
Depending on the weather conditions and the place of use, the backsheet films used become porous after five to eight years and start to lose their gloss and smoothness. They become chalky and matt and start to degrade under the sun's UV radiation. In the next stage, they lose more and more grip and eventually crack in the gaps along the solar cells.
The consequences: The insulation strength is lost and the modules become permeable to environmental influences. As a result, the conductor paths and metal contacts inside begin to corrode. This initially causes the failure of individual solar cells. Later, the entire module fails.
When the modules arrive at the Rinovasol factory, the first step is the internal goods receipt with the booking of the goods that have arrived.
The state and number of modules are recorded in an ERP system. The states are divided into the following six categories:
Category 1: No errors
Category 2: Good back condition, but delamination
Category 3: Torn back foil
Category 4: Snail tracks
Category 5: Other errors or multiple errors of categories 2 to 3
Category 6: Hotspots and/or broken glass
In parallel, the PV modules undergo an anonymisation process. The manufacturer tags on the back of each module are removed by hand without damaging the back foil. The manufacturer's logo and the serial number between the front glass and the inner foil are made unrecognisable in a laser process.
Subsequently, the basic functionality of the used solar modules is checked within the scope of a visual inspection. In the process, certain components of the modules are checked for integrity and completeness. These include the front glass, the condition of the solar cells, the connection box on the back of the module, the connection cables. If these components of a PV module are undamaged, functionality can be ensured regardless of the output power.
How does the refinement work?
After a cleaning and drying process, the modules first land on a coating device. It covers the frame surfaces to concentrate the spray only on the backsheet. The material used for the finishing is based on two components.
One component is a liquid plastic (polymer) that is not affected by heat or humidity. This is a further development carried out by Rinovasol of a material from the military and aerospace sector. Rinovasol exclusively owns the worldwide rights of use.
The second component is an isocyanate-based curing material that serves as a reactant. The duration of the processing time (drip time) is determined by the ratio of both components. Without external accelerators, the time in which the material is in liquid and processable form is approx. 45 minutes.
The material is applied with a low-pressure system that homogenises both components shortly before the start of the spray hose and processes them with a very low spray mist. The layer thickness for successful crack bridging with the material is approx. 190 μm, depending on the crack width and surface condition of the module.
Subsequently, the wet coated PV modules are conveyed to the second infrared blocks for polymerisation. Under a precisely tuned infrared radiation, both coatings react chemically and form long-chain molecules.
Outlook - What comes next?
A large part of the process is to be automated over time. This will enormously increase the quality and output of the sealed photovoltaic modules.
Cleaning times are reduced to a minimum with an automatic washing station, for example. This means that the preparatory work takes place at a consistent quality and higher speed.
The drying stage can be optimised and improved in terms of process time and performance by integrating infrared deep drying into the washing machine.
Automation of the coating process is also planned. An automatic coating system would recognise the backside condition of the PV module through a scan and initiate and carry out the process to be applied. The goal is faster sealing processes, optimal coating thicknesses and thus higher productivity of the process. By detecting the degree of damage on the PV backside, the amount and consistency of the material would be independently adjustable. This leads to further cost savings.
A good basis for making an investment decision always includes the corresponding business figures.

Sustainable energy production: A gigantic growth market
The share of solar power in the energy mix is growing every year. An increasing number of plants as well as improved technology over the years contribute to photovoltaics becoming an increasingly important part of renewable energies - and at low cost.
Worldwide, capacities are also steadily increasing. 80 % of global solar demand is accounted for by the five industrial nations China, Japan, USA, England and Germany (source: NPD Solarbuzz). Cumulatively, around one third of global photovoltaic capacity is installed in China. In Germany, it is still one tenth.
Millions of solar modules are needed to achieve these goals. China is currently the largest producer. A quarter of the world's solar capacity comes from the People's Republic.
In their economic considerations, solar module manufacturers assume life spans of at least 20 years and guarantee their customers the functionality of the photovoltaic modules for this period. However, they outdo themselves in this liability statement. Around ten percent of all PV modules fail much earlier than guaranteed by the manufacturer due to defective backsheet films.
Thanks to Rinovasol's patented refurbishing process, over 95 percent of all modules can be refurbished and put back into use. Through the extended life cycle, Rinovasol ensures that the demand for high-quality solar modules can be met in the long term.
Sustainable approach: refurbishing saves waste and conserves resources
Rinovasol tackles another problem with the reprocessing of solar panels. What actually happens to the panels after they are used? Huge amounts of waste are produced here. Already in 2017, the waste amounts to 43,500 tonnes. By 2050, it will be 60 million tonnes.
Rinovasol is therefore combating the waste problem. If it is possible, outdated or damaged modules are refurbished from the ground up and are ready for use again. If this is no longer possible, the panels are recycled by Rinovasol. The high-quality raw materials are returned to the circular economy.
To date, Rinovasol has been able to refurbish or recycle around one million photovoltaic modules.
Facts and figures are not everything. Here you will find more information worth knowing as well as regular news.

What's better at the end of a long day than relaxing on the sofa in your pyjamas, enjoying a bar of chocolate, scrolling through Instagram on your phone, while eyeing up a tasty-looking meal at that new Mexican restaurant? These are the simple pleasures that life is made of.
Unfortunately, this moment of relaxation comes at a cost, and the cost is water. A lot of water. That chocolate bar you're enjoying? It takes an astonishing 17,000 litres to produce 100 grams of chocolate. That's about ten bathtubs. The tasty looking food on your Instagram is worse – meat and dairy are responsible for two thirds of worldwide water consumption. Your phone itself requires about 13,000 litres of water to produce. The cotton in your pyjamas and the material in your sofa all required thousands of litres. And even Instagram – yes, the Gram – is indirectly responsible for huge quantities of water usage, as are all large internet companies. It is estimated that by 2025 the communications industry could use up 20% of the world's electricity supply. This matters because water is used in the cooling process in coal, oil, natural gas and nuclear power plants. Water is also used in great quantities during fuel extraction, refining and production. So, yes, a lot of water.
Now, you may be wondering what exactly the point is. Why does it matter that we use so much water? Water is everywhere. It's in lakes and rivers and often just falls from the sky. Two thirds of the entire planet surface is ocean. It naturally recycles itself. Water is the most abundant, fundamentally vegan resource imaginable.
Except, it's not quite as abundant as you might think. Only 0.014% of Earth's water is fresh and easily accessible. The rest is either saline, which isn't useable in most industries, or is difficult to get to. For a long time this hasn't really mattered, but now the global demand is fast outstripping supply. A rapidly rising global population, much of which is becoming more prosperous and demanding more consumer goods, is putting huge pressure on water supplies. Climate change is also causing more drought, and other environmental damage such as pollution and deforestation is directly reducing the amount of useable water being recycled through the hydrological cycle.
If you're thinking that this is only a problem for people in stricken parts of the world like central Africa, think again. Last month, the head of the UK's Environmental Agency warned that England will not have enough water to meet demand with 25 years. Even the most phlegmatic person must be shocked by that concept. In the past few years, there has been a sort of awakening in the developed world about the looming (if not immediate) threat that we are facing as a species. We have become so used to living in a world where all our needs are met with overabundance that very few of us ever stopped to really think about where it all came from. We never dreamed that we would run out of water. It seems almost ludicrous to suggest. Unfortunately, it's now become clear that we've been living on borrowed time for too long now, taking more and more out of the proverbial overdraft, expecting the natural world to keep taking one for the team. You can only blow up a balloon so far before it bursts, and that's what we've been doing to the Earth. And the burst is coming.
Pessimists might argue that the damage is done, and all we can do now is start stocking bomb shelters with tinned vegetables. That might be a good option to have in the back pocket, but there are also things you can do that might help stop the total collapse of civilisation. You can conserve water directly by taking showers rather than baths and not using your dishwasher or washing machine until it has a full load. Also, get the more modern and efficient appliances that conserve water better. But, as we've said here, the real problem is the "hidden water", the products that ostensibly have no water waste at all, but are directly responsible for so much global water usage. That's harder to tackle, but you can do some things to help. Diets that are made up of highly processed foods (like sweets, crisps and ready-made meals) require far more water than those predominantly based on whole foods like fruits and vegetables. Cutting down on meat and dairy is also ideal. The added benefit of this is you'll probably be healthier as a result, so that's a win-win. Also, don't waste food. Twenty five percent of freshwater consumed is used for food that is ultimately discarded. Food waste is a huge problem, and if we could be more efficient with our consumption then we would directly reduce the quantity needed. Get to the supermarkets in the evening and check out their reduced sections – that stuff is just going to get thrown out anyway, and you'll save a bit of money.
Speaking of saving money, you can also help by buying clothes from second hand shops. Clothes production is responsible for very high water usage, but people often get rid of clothing long before they need to. If you are going to buy new, you'd be better to invest in well-made items that will last longer. As a society, we need to normalise the idea of "make do and mend", rather than promoting the perception that it's somehow demeaning or embarrassing to not look pristine. It should become a badge of honour to be wearing a coat with a sewn-up tear in the elbow (but let's not start having companies manufacturing new garments with fake repairs because it's a new trend – we can see that coming a mile off. Don't even try it, Hollister).
You should also give thought to other items you buy unnecessarily. For example, in the height of irony, the volume of water used to make a bottle of water is six or seven times more than the water inside the bottle itself. As this is also a typical single-use plastic, you'd be well advised to avoid buying bottled water (or any plastic bottled drink) when you can avoid it. A bottle of orange squash is much more efficient.
More abstractly, you could begin pushing the government to introduce "water footprint" labels on all goods. That way, you'll know when you buy something exactly how much water has gone into the production of that good. We already have water efficiency labels on household appliances, so why not extend that to the products we buy?

Joshua-Miller Fight In Doubt Following 'Adverse' Finding In Drug Test
Joshua vs Miller
Anthony Joshua Promoter Eddie Hearn says the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association has informed Joshua's camp about an adverse finding in a sample collected from heavyweight opponent Jarrell Miller.
Hearn says the sample from Miller, scheduled to fight Joshua at Madison Square Gardens in New York on June 1st, was collected on March 20 of this year.
We have been informed by VADA that there has been an adverse finding in Jarrell Miller's sample collected on March 20th, 2019. We are working with all relevant parties and will update with more details soon. AJ's preparation continues for June 1st at MSG.
— Eddie Hearn (@EddieHearn) April 17, 2019
Hearn tweets: "We have been informed by VADA that there has been an adverse finding in Jarrell Miller's sample collected on March 20th, 2019.
"We are working with all relevant parties and will update with more details soon. AJ's preparation continues for June 1st at MSG."
Joshua and Miller were due to fight for the WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO titles in New York.
Although Joshua's preparations will continue, the VADA news leaves the Miller fight in uncertainty and a replacement fighter may need to be found for what would be Joshua's debut on US soil.
Joshua retained his WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO titles when he stopped Alexander Povetkin in September.
Miller was in kickboxing in 2014 when he tested positive for methylhexaneamine in a urine sample and was suspended for nine months by the California State Athletic Commission.
During their promotional tour for the fight, American Miller reveals that both fighters had agreed to between 10 and 12 weeks of drug testing in the build-up to the bout.
Joshua, during the London leg of the tour, says: "I am on (drug testing scheme) ADAMS whereabouts, they have to know where I am for an hour every day and could walk in anytime.
"They can turn up any time during the day and that is a lifetime commitment. I have been on that since 2012 and I pay £40,000-a-fight to be tested by VADA two times a week."

Swat diary: Living on a frontline
People in Swat are caught up in an insurgency which began last year
Munir (not his real name), an administrator in the Swat region of Pakistan, describes the challenges of daily life in his valley as the Taleban and the army vie for influence. This week, as schools are burned down in nearby villages, the area has to cope with lengthy power cuts.
We have been in deep trouble for many weeks now.
Yesterday, there was a terrible incident about 10km away from us. Two schools were torched, they were burned down. One of the buildings was an ordinary school and the other was a good college.
A friend of mine witnessed it. He said it was as if the school was blown up. He saw the flames in the buildings. The local Taleban have claimed responsibility for this.
In a village called Kabal the Taleban check vehicles and stop women who are not wearing the burqa
In our valley schools are open but the village is concerned. Attendance is very low in the main school. Many parents are afraid to send their children.
There is a lot of talk around here about what happened when the schools were burned down. Locals from that area say they believe the army did it because they don't think the Taleban could do something like that.
They see their local Taleban eating, smoking - they seem unable to do anything even though they claim responsibility for everything.
Even if somebody falls off a bicycle, they would claim responsibility for that. That is the popular perception.
'Slapped'
People think the army does not do enough. In a village called Kabal the Taleban checks vehicles and stops women who are not wearing the burqa.
One man told me how just the other day he had been travelling with friends. The women in the car were asked to dismount. When she dismounted the Taleban slapped her in the face and asked why she didn't put on the veil.
The thing is, the army was just 25-30 yards away. They did nothing. When they act like that, people start to think they are responsible for things.
Power cuts
We have no power in our district. The power grid station and the gas supply were blown up. We get electricity for only one hour a day. I only get to use the internet once every 15 days or so.
Many people said they can't do business because they have no computer. All day and all night businesses have to shut down. People can't make money.
In my house we used to study at night but now our life has changed. We just go to bed. We can't study or do anything good. We have no light. Only rich people have generators.
It is the 21st Century and we don't have power. We haven't seen power for days in my village.
In the main city of Mingora there are constant traffic jams. It can take three hours to cover a stretch of 25 yards. It feels that a lot is falling apart.

Honoured for being the essence of what St John stands for
Readers' LettersPublished: Jan 2, 2021 Last Updated: Jan 2, 2021
CONGRATULATIONS to Nikki Harrison, chief executive officer of St John Ambulance Guernsey, who has been made a Member of the Order of the British Empire in the New Year's Honours. Mrs Harrison is recognised for services to the community in Guernsey during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Nikki Harrison joined St John Ambulance Guernsey in 2015 and was appointed to the role of chief executive officer in July this year, having previously been chief operating officer since 2018 and operations manager before that. As CEO, Nikki oversees all aspects of the work of the St John charity in Guernsey.

Tin Tin joined the business as an Assistant Hotel Manager and quickly progressed to become a Hotel Manager of a busy bar cafe hotel. Fifteen years and two children later, Tin Tin has progressed through some of our busiest and most high-profile hotels, and now works in our West London hotels developing great talent.
Tin Tin's first role was in the challenging Heathrow Central hotel with its 307 bedrooms. Always one of our busiest bar cafe hotels, it has plenty of challenges and she coached the team to ensure they put the customers at the heart of everything they did.
Opening a brand-new hotel right next to Twickenham stadium, Tin Tin recruited and trained a huge team to run the 111-bed bar cafe hotel.
She then moved back to where she started at our Heathrow Central 307 bed hotel, gaining more experience and ensuring she delivered on her targets.
Her first Hotel Management role saw Tin Tin claiming the title of Best Performing Hotel within the whole business, where she ensured that her 78-bedroom hotel ran perfectly.
In the heart of West London, Tin Tin built an excellent team and created a fun and engaging environment at the 113-bedroom bar cafe hotel.
Right next to the M3, our large 131-bed bar cafe site in Sunbury can sometimes be a challenge to recruit for – but Tin Tin is continuously looking for ways to exceed her targets.

This week's Hill lacrosse schedule included a game against Loudoun Country Day School and a rematch with Powhatan. I felt a little more comfortable photographing the games this week and started to anticipate the action better. We have some super talented players, especially those in the eighth-grade, such as Harry, whom I enjoyed following with the camera this week (love the expression on the LCDS player's face as Harry charged by).
Due to a smaller number of boys in the seventh and eighth grades, Hill had to recruit a group of sixth-graders onto the varsity team. Out on the field, you can really see the size difference, but our scrappy and athletic sixth-graders hold their own!
Maybe it's their diminutive stature that also helps them slip in between those hulking eighth-graders to get into shooting range, because the sixth-graders even notched a few impressive scores.
Harry and Jack C. (Sixth-Grader) celebrate a score.
Cameron never played lacrosse until this spring, but he's quickly found yet another sport he loves and is developing into a valuable team member. He came whisper close to scoring this week in the varsity game but did get his first point in the JV game (the sixth-graders play on both teams). Just like Cam, I'm having a blast learning a new sport this spring!
You were really able to capture the action and the energy of the lacrosse game. Great pictures that give an good impression and feel of the sport.
Fantastic photos of a fast moving sport…well done Tricia!!!

Mississippi. St. 35, Jacksonville St. 3
Published 6:55 pm Wednesday, October 18, 2006
Mississippi State coach Sylvester Croom has been saying he needs some young players to step up and help the team win. He got just that on Saturday from sophomores Derek Pegues and Brandon Thornton in a 35-3 routing of Jacksonville State.
Pegues intercepted the ball on the first play of the game and returned it 26 yards for a touchdown. He returned a punt 81 yards in the second quarter for a touchdown — the longest punt return for a Bulldog since Kevin Prentiss' 83-yarder in the 1998 Southeastern Conference Championship game against Tennessee.
Thornton had a huge second half for the Bulldogs (2-5, 0-3), rushing for 88 yards and two touchdowns after getting the ball only once in the opening two quarters.(3-3, 3-1).
"It was good just to get a win," Croom said. "It was good to get some of these younger guys into the ballgame and to see what they could do. We came out with some energy in the first five minutes of the second half, and that is something we haven't done."
Thornton, who has missed most of the season with an ankle injury, returned last week with a 19-yard effort against West Virginia.
"Coach Croom has been saying he wanted a playmaker to come into the game and step up," Thornton said. "So I went to him and told him that I felt like if I got the ball in my hands I can help the team."
Pegues interception return for a score gave the Bulldogs' its first touchdown in the first quarter all season.
"I got beat on that play in practice," Pegues said. "Coach told me just to keep my eyes in the right spot and I did."
The Bulldog defense dominated the Gamecocks, allowing only 201 yards and 13 first downs. Hardin managed to complete only 12 passes for 149 yards.
Mike Henig went 11-for-25 for 183 yards in his first start since suffering a broken collarbone in the Bulldogs' season opener against South Carolina. He completed his first touchdown pass of the year on a 16-yard pass Eric Butler in the third quarter.
Sophomore Aubrey Bell had three receptions for the Bulldogs and a game-high 62 yards. Tony Burks had two receptions for 52 yards.

Beyond Parenting: An Examination of the Etiology of Self-Control
Journal of Criminal Justice 36,3 (July 2008): 244-251.
Also: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0047235208000469
Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79
Keyword(s): Child Self-Administered Supplement (CSAS); Neighborhood Effects; Parent Supervision/Monitoring; Peers/Peer influence/Peer relations; Risk-Taking; School Quality; Self-Regulation/Self-Control
The study found that partial support could be offered for "self-control theory." In implicit support of the theory, this study found that the effect of parenting on self-control was not conditioned by the competing social factors examined. Contrary to the theory, however, was the finding that self-control was predicted by both peer pressure and school social factors contemporaneously, even after controlling for parental monitoring. While prior research testing Gottfredson and Hirschi's (1990) theory of low self-control has demonstrated a significant relationship between parenting and self-control, it has also recognized significant effects of other social factors, suggesting the etiology of self-control may be more complex than the theory specifies. The current study examined first whether social factors other than parenting predicted self-control using both contemporaneous and lagged effects models, and second, whether the effect of parenting on self-control varied according to these social factors. Data for this study came from the National Longitudinal Study of Youth (NLSY79) Mother Data and the Child and Young Adult Supplement to the NLSY79. The NLSY is a nationally representative sample of 12,686 young men and women who were 14 to 22 years old when they were first surveyed in 1979; this study used data from the 2000 and 2002 surveys.

The laser scanning market is projecting 14.9% annual growth to 2023, according to a report from Transparency Market Research. This shows how far 3D data capture has come in the past two decades and where it's going.
This change is driven by a range of new devices that surveying professionals and end users are exploring to sustain growth and boost their operational efficiency.
Traditional terrestrial laser scanners are no longer the go-to tool.
New technologies such as UAV-mounted and handheld scanners have opened new avenues for surveyors to capture live survey data. These tools have cut acquisition costs and increased the coverage of data captured in a scan, this data is known as point cloud data.
Every new device on the market can present data in a new form. When you are registering and processing new scans into a dataset, you now need to bring together data in different formats from different devices. This is not always an easy task.
Point clouds can now scan huge assets more cheaply. New devices also offer broader coverage from a single scan. This creates tens of thousands of data points. These are cumbersome to handle and harmonise across your entire enterprise. It can also be difficult to share massive data between project partners.
You invest considerable amounts of time and money in selecting the right engineering software and training your team to use it. So, your new technology needs to fit with your existing software set so that makes it easier for your teams to work together. In practice, this kind of integration is not always easy.
Everybody involved in the lifecycle of an asset can benefit from access to point cloud data. But fragmented datasets in different formats can make this difficult, as I have explained above.
Who owns point cloud data? In the past, EPCs and the contractors who capture the data become custodians of the information. But asset operators can use point cloud data throughout the asset lifecycle: for safety, training, asset visualisation and even for brownfield projects with new contractors.
How can you solve these challenges?
Today, industry is no longer worried about how to capture scan data, but how to use these massive datasets most effectively. Used the right way, they can help you to build your competitive edge.
Ensure you get off on the right foot by establishing a clear point cloud data strategy. This can help you find your right answer to the five challenges above. At AVEVA, we believe that the 'Trusted Living Pointcloud' helps to solve many of the challenges of integration, data ownership and interoperability.
What is a Trusted Living Pointcloud?
Is your asset data under control?
Did you know the average brownfield project overruns its budget by 15% in rework alone? This is primarily due to incorrect or missing measurement data.
