Liberals lay down new rules to end use of coal naturalgas power
OTTAWA – A federal task force will have the rest of the year to figure out how to help thousands of miners find new jobs as part of the Liberals’ latest move to speed up the demise of coal-fired electricity plants in this country.Putting an end to coal-fired plants by 2030 is expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 16 million tonnes — about the annual emissions from four million cars — but also put between 3,000 and 3,500 miners out of work.The largest share of job losses will be in Alberta, which has four coal mines, followed by Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia.But the scope of the issue is likely to go beyond coal workers alone: Labour Minister Patty Hajdu was told last year that more than 42,000 people were directly or indirectly employed in the coal industry and “a significant portion” of them would be affected by the phase-out of thermal coal used to produce electricity.Environment Minister Catherine McKenna, who is in charge of the pollution regulations, on Friday promised to create a task force to help affected workers move into other areas of the economy and make the “transition a fair one for coal workers and communities.”The nine-member task force is expected to begin work in March and will have nine months to deliver a final report, according to terms posted online.The briefing material provided to Hajdu, obtained by The Canadian Press under the Access to Information Act, included a written submission from the Canadian Labour Congress. In it, the labour group noted that governments often talk about helping workers displaced by economic changes that benefit society, but that talk “is rarely translated into practice.”Still, CLC president Hassan Yussuff said Friday he’s optimistic the Liberals’ plan will allow Canada to meet its climate targets “while ensuring that workers and communities have a strong role in creating a green economy.”The announcement of the federal task force — similar to one in Alberta — came on the same day the Liberals unveiled draft regulations to accelerate the phase-out of coal-fired electricity plants by 2030 and set new emissions regulations for new natural gas-fired plants or coal plants converted to run on natural gas.Federal officials expect more interest in natural gas and converted coal plants given the low price of natural gas and the ease with which plants can be expanded in smaller increments to better meet demand.They estimate implementation of the draft coal regulations will cost more than $2.2 billion, but potentially save the country $4.9 billion in reduced health care costs.Three-quarters of the $2.2-billion price tag would fall on the shoulders of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, which aren’t expected to end their reliance on coal for power until at least 2040.Coal-fired plants are responsible for almost three-quarters of emissions from the electricity sector, even though they only produce about 11 per cent of the nation’s electricity supply.Environmental groups applauded the government’s regulations, but warned more needs to be done to limit the use of natural gas plants in the future.Binnu Jeyakumar, a program director at the Pembina Institute, said the government’s carbon pricing scheme should apply to natural gas plants “to ensure that the market provides an even playing field for renewables, energy efficiency, and storage.”Clean Energy Canada’s policy director, Dan Woynillowicz, said limiting natural gas in Canada’s electricity system would also “minimize the number of Canadian workers who will need to transition jobs in the future.”The Canadian Electricity Association is warning the new regulations add another layer of red tape for the sector, something that is sure to affect rates across the country.
CP Rail strike could be devastating for Western Canadian farmers
Two unions representing about 3,400 workers at Canadian Pacific Railway have formally served the company with notice of their intent to strike.Without a negotiated settlement, engineers, conductors, and signal and communications workers will walk out at 12:01 a.m. Saturday morning.The notice comes at a difficult time for the railway, which is under pressure from shippers to move backed-up grain shipments and supply more locomotives to the pipeline-constrained oil industry in Western Canada.Alberta Wheat Council Chairman Kevin Bender said the backlog has been building since the middle of last year.“Even last fall, prior to winter, one of the two railways was only at about 60 per cent of their orders fulfilled and then as the winter went on that got worse and I think got to a low of 17 per cent for the one railway,” he explained.He said it’s disappointing to hear about the potential job action.“The fact that many farmers in the prairies are captive to only one railway, if they end up being on that one CP rail and they decide to strike, their grain doesn’t move and they don’t get paid,” explained Bender.That could be devastating with planting season on the way because a lot of those costs need to be paid up front, including land payments, fertilizer and other crop inputs.“My guess is that farmers would need to refinance, I just don’t even want to go there,” he said.Bender said the government needs to take immediate action to make sure a strike doesn’t happen.He’d also like to see long term legislation to make the railway an essential service.
Mamta, Kejriwal to address TDP’s rally in Vizag today
Visakhapatnam: In a show of strength, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and her Delhi counterpart Arvind Kejriwal is all set address a huge public rally in Visakhapatnam in support of Chandrababu Naidu’s Telugu Desam Party at a mega rally in the port town on Sunday evening.Though many other leaders from the proposed grand alliance of anti-BJP parties including Janata Dal (Secular) president Deve Gowda, DMK chief M K Stalin, Nationalist Congress Party president Sharad Pawar, RJD leader Tejaswi Yadav and former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Farooq Abdulla were invited to the rally, but they expressed their unwillingness due to hectic campaigning in their respective states, a senior TDP leader said.

The BJP candidates will lose its deposits in all seats,” Dinakaran said.

Moroccan Universities Rank Low Internationally: Webometrics
By Ghita El HafidiRabat – The Webometric 2017 ranks Moroccan universities at the bottom of academic institutions around the world for “knowledge and learning.”This world-renowned ranking is based on several criteria, including the availability of the online requests for teachers, web pages of institutions, and the valuation of languages. Not one Moroccan universities is among the first thousand of this classification, while a Saudi-Arabian university was ranked at 425th place.The Cadi Ayyad University has occupied the 1994th place in world ranking and came 42nd within Arab universities.The Mohammed V University in Rabat, considered one of the “best” nationally, was ranked 2873rd worldwide and 73rd in the Arab world. While the Mohammed I University of Oujda occupied the 2461st place, followed by the Ibnou Zahr University of Agadir in the 3186th place.Al-Akhawayn University was ranked far below Morocco’s public institutions, classified 3255th worldwide and 86th in the Arab world, despite the “exorbitant” costs of enrollment and promotion of its “developed” teaching methods.Overall, Morocco was ranked 26th in the African continent.Five South African universities were ranked among the forefront developed universities in the world, while the absence of Egyptian universities from the global list was surprising.
Young people have enormous power to shape better world Migiro tells students
2 November 2011The events of the past 10 months highlight the enormous power of young people in changing the world, the Deputy Secretary-General has said, calling on this segment of society to help shape a better future. Asha-Rose Migiro noted that the world faces an increasingly complex set of realities, from rising joblessness to growing inequality to the increasing dangers of climate change. People are anxious about their well-being today and their prospects for a better future.“We need to forge a common agenda that can help ensure peace, prosperity, freedom and justice for all. Young people have a crucial role to play in building that future,” she said yesterday in remarks at the University of Missouri in Kansas City.“Sometimes the contributions of the world’s youth are not acknowledged sufficiently,” Ms. Migiro noted. “But one need only look at the events of the past 10 months to see your power.” Young people led successful movements against repressive governments in Egypt and Tunisia, she said. They are also combating poverty and hunger, protecting the environment, halting the spread of HIV and AIDS, and standing up for the rights of those who suffer discrimination based on gender, race and sexual orientation.“They are, in short, demanding the dignity and opportunities that are their right.”Ms. Migiro encouraged students to think beyond themselves and “engage with the big challenges of our day, be a global citizen, and be part of making the world a better place.”Noting that technology and social media have collapsed barriers and transformed the way young people communicate, she said there are plenty of opportunities for them to learn about the world, engage on topics that interest them and interact with others from around the world.“I encourage you to follow issues that matter to you, seek out the views and perspectives of others, and bring your own ideas into the discussion about our common future,” she said. In a separate address yesterday to the Greater Kansas City Chapter of the UN Association of the United States, Ms. Migiro noted that the world faces an increasingly complex set of realities, including a prolonged economic crisis. There is also growing concern about the ability of governments to address current challenges, and to deliver the results people need, when they need them, she said, adding that these challenges and uncertainties are also a major concern of Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.Last month, in his annual address to the full membership of the UN, Mr. Ban outlined five ways to advance peace, prosperity, freedom and justice for all. “We have five imperatives – five generational opportunities to shape the world of tomorrow by the decisions we make today,” he said ahead of the opening of the General Assembly’s annual high-level debate. Mr. Ban cited sustainable development; preventing and mitigating conflicts, human rights abuses and the impacts of natural disasters; building a safer and more secure world; supporting countries in transition; and working to engage the talents of women and young people.
Annan voices horror at large death toll in Russian school hostage drama
“The Secretary-General has been following closely the tragic developments regarding the situation of the hostages in Beslan, Russian Federation,” a statement issued by his spokesman in New York said. “He was horrified to learn that a large number of children and others have lost their lives or were injured during the last few hours.”The Secretary-General reiterates his condemnation of all terrorist acts,” the statement concluded.Ever since the crisis began Mr. Annan and other top UN officials voiced their strong condemnation and called for the immediate release of the hostages, who included scores of children. On Wednesday he demanded an end to “this criminal act directed against the most vulnerable members of society” and the Security Council called it a “heinous terrorist act.”UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) Executive Director Carol Bellamy said schools must never be degraded to places of violence, adding: “If we don’t respect the sanctity of childhood, then we have nothing.” UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Louise Arbour added her voice to calls for the release of the victims. UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Director-General Koïchiro Matsuura said he was “appalled that a school and its pupils are being used for political ends.”

Labour MPs former aide contacts police in middle of her speeding trial
MP Fiona OnasanyaCredit:Victoria Jones/PA 
The former aide of an MP accused of plotting with her brother to avoid a speeding ticket said he felt “morally and legally” obliged to give evidence against her.Dr Christian DeFeo, who managed campaigns and communications for Peterborough MP Fiona Onasanya, said he was compelled to contact police after spotting a news report of her trial at the Old Bailey.He claims the Labour MP visited his home on the day of the alleged speeding incident, adding that she arrived alone in a car. Dr DeFeo said he discussed with his wife Caroline Earle whether or not to give evidence against the 35-year-old, but decided he had a moral duty to contact police on Tuesday this week, the day Onasanya’s trial began.He told the court he had “enormous hopes invested” in the Labour MP, who was elected in 2017, and added: “I never dreamed in my darkest dreams – I never thought I would have to be sitting here (giving evidence).”It is with the greatest reluctance I have to do this.”To do otherwise, I cannot. It’s morally and legally unacceptable not to.”Onasanya is accused of plotting with her brother Festus Onasanya to claim that a Russian man was behind the wheel of her Nissan Micra when it was clocked doing 41mph in a 30mph zone on The Causeway near Thornley in Cambridgeshire.

Onasanya, from Peterborough, denies one count of perverting the course of justice.Her brother has pleaded guilty to three charges of perverting the course of justice, including to one related to the July 24 incident.The court was told about an email exchange between Onasanya and Dr DeFeo, arranging to meet on July 24 last year.Asked what time she was there, the witness said: “I cannot say a specific time, however she arrived late and was there quite late because we offered her a bed to stay the night.”She arrived in her car. She arrived alone. She pulled up her car in front of our house. I greeted her at the door.”Dr DeFeo said Onasanya, his wife and himself spent no less than two hours discussing the “nitty gritty” of a charity lease in his living room.They were there together throughout apart from the occasional “loo breaks” and his wife going into the kitchen to prepare a “hot lemon squash”.Dr DeFeo said Onasanya had been to his home three or four times, including when he threw a “victory party” to celebrate her election, accompanied by her mother.The trial continues. The incident happened near where Dr DeFeo lived at the time, on July 24 2017, a week after Onasanya was elected MP.

The Solowheel A Segway for People with Great Balance
If you’ve always wanted a Segway but know you could only afford one wheel, the Solowheel may be the personal transportation device for you. Alternatively, if you’re tired of being seen on your unicycle, pedaling down the street, this gadget has more of a modern twist. Teasing aside, the Solowheel is essentially a single wheel with a gyroscope on-board and two foot pedals on either side of the wheel. Step on, lean forward, and away you go. The Solowheel weighs about 20 pounds, and can run for about 2 hours on its 1000-watt rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery. It even incorporates regenerative braking, so when you coast or go downhill, the battery recharges itself to give you a little more distance. Once you get to your destination, just step off of the Solowheel, pick it up, and plug it in to any standard outlet to recharge. After about 45 minutes, you’ll be ready to go again. Clearly the Solowheel is aimed at city-dwellers and people who have short, walkable or bike-able commutes to work but who also don’t actually want to walk or ride a bike Pricing and availability haven’t been announced, but you can be sure it won’t be cheap. You can check out a video of the Solowheel in action behind the jump.

VW is still 100 percent investigating a pickup truck for the US
Geneva Motor Show 2019 Volkswagen reading • VW is still ‘100 percent’ investigating a pickup truck for the US 24 Photos 3 2017 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid: First hybrid minivan wins on fuel economy The Atlas Tanoak concept used a unibody design, much like the Honda Ridgeline, and was well received by New York Auto Show attendees last year. Volkswagen is investigating bringing the truck to market like that — “we have opportunities to do it ourselves,” Keogh said.But a recent partnership with the Ford Motor Company brings other new opportunities, as well. In the initial agreement, Ford agreed to build a version of its European-spec Ranger truck for Volkswagen that will be sold in markets outside the US. Could something similar happen in the US?”We have opportunities with Ford,” Keogh said. “It’s something we are 100 percent investigating.”Keogh is mindful about Volkswagen’s credibility when entering a new market space, and that’s especially important with a segment like pickups in the US. “Does your brand belong there?” Keogh asks. “I don’t think it’s enough just to have a market opportunity. … When you get that marriage together, you have a home run, and that’s exactly what we’re looking at.”Enlarge ImageThe Atlas Tanoak concept used a unibody design, similar to the Honda Ridgeline. Volkswagen In the late 2000s, Volkswagen partnered with Chrysler to launch the Routan, a rebadged version of the Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans. The van was largely unsuccessful, commanding several thousand dollars more than its Chrysler and Dodge counterparts, and was discontinued after only a couple of years.In launching a new pickup, Volkswagen does not want to repeat this process, and Keogh says his company will “not just do a badging operation.””That doesn’t work for us,” Keogh said. “We have to have credibility and bring something to the table.”Exactly what — if anything — will happen remains to be seen, but Keogh is confident that a Volkswagen pickup truck could be a hit in America.”I think this is an opportunity for Volkswagen, if you look at how we position the brand,” he said. “We are capable of entering the pickup market with a car we’re proud of.” Geneva Motor Show 2019 More From Roadshow Apr 17 • The 2020 Jaguar XE gets its first major visual refresh 2019 Volkswagen Arteon first drive: Flagship fastback feels familiar Tags One year after showing the Atlas Tanoak pickup truck concept at the 2018 New York Auto Show, Volkswagen still hasn’t made a firm decision about whether or not to bring a production version to market.

COPY LINKAD Loading … OnePlus has become a household name in the smartphone industry. The company has built a reputation in its field by listening to customer feedback and improving products. This has helped the brand grow by leaps and bounds. As it continues to enhance the user experience on its phones, there’s a new feature in the offing that greatly benefits users who spend a lot of time on their phones.At a time when people’s lives revolve around smartphones and screen-time is higher than ever, it is important to practice caution. The shift from OLED to LCD on most premium and mid-range smartphones, as beneficial as it has been, comes with its own setbacks. Since OLED panels use Pulse Width Modulation technique to control backlight brightness, the rapid on and off variations at low levels causes the screen to flicker.As a result, screen flickering in low-light conditions, which most users might not notice, can cause eye strain. With people spending more time on smartphones, be it for watching movies or playing games, the exposure to the screen flickering at low brightness levels is extremely high. While companies have come up with ways to help users cut down on screen-time by introducing features where users can track and control the amount of time spent on apps, OnePlus has another way to help users.
