AdvertisementThe manager of Real Madrid, Santiago Solari chose his favourite player between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. Accoding to the new manager of the Los Blancos, Lionel Messi will never have any competitor as the Argentine superstar plays some other sport than football.Just ahead of the El Clasico, Santiago Solari was asked about his favourite player between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Solari told,“Cristiano is the best player in the world because Messi is playing another sport,”Lionel Messi scored 21 League Goals in 20 matches for the Catalan Giants and also scored 6 Champions League Goals in this campaign. The Argentine superstar is having a great season with Barcelona. The Catalan Giants are now at the top of the table in the La Liga. The contribution of Lionel Messi has been phenomenal for Barcelona over the years.On the other hand, Cristiano Ronaldo is also a great player. The star Portuguese footballer won 3 consecutive UEFA Champions League titles for the Catalan Giants. Cristiano Ronaldo has also won the European Championship with his National side Portugal few years back. The footballing icon of Portugal is successful in three different top Leagues of Europe. So, he is certainly one of the best footballers of this modern era; but noone can be compared with Lionel Messi.Barcelona reportedly have Cristhian Stuani on their radar Advertisement
And the benefits go beyond the savings seen by those who buy efficient products or upgrade their homes. When electricity demand goes down, utilities can avoid investments in new power plants and other infrastructure, saving money for all electricity customers in the region. The local economy benefits when consumers buy other goods and services with the money they saved on their bills. Plus, less power generation can lead to better air quality and improved public health. Here are a few real-world examples of these benefits:Energy efficiency investments of $440 million from 2009-2011 as part of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, a cap-and-trade program for carbon dioxide emissions from power plants among nine states in the Northeast and mid-Atlantic regions, are expected to add $1.6 billion in economic value and create 16,000 net job-years (a measure of employment that means the creation of one job for one year) in the region through 2021.The lifetime public health and economic benefits of Massachusetts’ efficiency programs implemented from 2010-2012 are expected to reach $4 billion USD.Wisconsin’s energy efficiency program is projected to add more than $900 million USD into the state’s economy and generate 6,000 new jobs over the next 10 years.Greater Savings Are on the TableThe cost and climate benefits of reducing electricity use are clear. The problem is that market barriers and misaligned incentives prevent the widespread adoption of efficiency measures even when the benefits well outweigh the costs. This leaves a surprising amount of potential untapped—studies by the National Academy of Sciences, Rocky Mountain Institute, and others suggest that the United States could reduce electricity use 14 to 30 percent below projected levels over the next two decades by putting cost-effective efficiency measures into place, generating hundreds of billions of dollars in savings for consumers.One of the biggest challenges is that utility profits are typically linked to how much electricity they sell. That means profits decline with sales revenue as efficiency programs expand, creating natural disincentives for utilities to pursue cost-effective energy efficiency. Breaking the link between revenue and sales can encourage utilities to take advantage of energy efficiency as a resource.Over the past several years, some states have taken steps to do just that—16 now have policies that decouple utility profits from sales, 28 offer utility incentives for efficiency, and 24 have mandatory electric savings targets. But many other states are missing out on these opportunities. Scaling Up the SavingsEven with these advances, states need new federal policy signals to truly capitalize on all the efficiency opportunities before them. This is where EPA’s greenhouse gas standards for existing power plants could play an important role. Proposed standards would allow states to use efficiency programs to comply with mandatory emissions limits. By finalizing ambitious and flexible standards, EPA could encourage more widespread adoption of state efficiency policies.Other strategies to support greater efficiency include:Federal agencies like the Department of Energy should expand existing initiatives, such as by strengthening appliance standards and increasing research and development;States should adopt and enforce the most up-to-date building energy codes;Federal agencies and states should implement measures that encourage retrofits of existing buildings, such as building labeling and assessment tools, energy auditing and disclosure policies, mortgages that consider building efficiency, and financial incentives (e.g., rebates for retrofits); andStates and federal agencies should improve access to low-cost financing for efficiency projects, such as states’ adoption of innovative financing models like “green banks”.Tune in for our next installment of the Lower Emissions, Brighter Economy blog series, where we’ll explore the economic benefits of cleaner and more fuel-efficient vehicles. See also our related publication, Seeing is Believing: Creating a New Climate Economy in the US. A new WRI study finds that there are many “win-win” opportunities for the United States to reduce emissions and save money for consumers and businesses.Over the coming weeks, our blog series, Lower Emissions, Brighter Economy, will evaluate these opportunities across five key areas—power generation, electricity consumption, passenger vehicles, natural gas systems, and hydrofluorocarbons—which together represent 55 percent of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions.Homes and commercial buildings account for 74 percent of electricity demand in the United States, making them a critical part of any plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The good news is that policies put into place over the last three decades—including appliance efficiency standards, voluntary labeling programs like ENERGY STAR, and state energy-savings targets—have already helped offset rising demand for electricity and saved consumers billions of dollars. New research shows that with the right policies in place, consumers and the environment can capture even greater benefits. Consumers and Businesses See Big Savings with Energy EfficiencyAmerican consumers have seen massive savings from energy efficiency programs. Federal appliance standards implemented since 1987 saved consumers nearly $370 billion USD in lower utility bills as of 2012, and are projected to save another $570 billion USD through 2020. And state programs that help improve the efficiency of homes and businesses regularly save consumers $2 USD for every dollar invested, in some cases as much as $5 USD. 
Chelsea midfielder Willian: I wanted to take itby Paul Vegasa month agoSend to a friendShare the loveChelsea midfielder Willian admits he wanted to take last night’s penalty in defeat to Valencia.Ross Barkley took the spotkick and missed to hand Los Che the Champions League win.Willian said: “I wanted to take it but he (Barkley) was confident to take it.”This is football.

Nova Scotians are getting faster, better emergency care after improvements to the province’s largest hospital. Six months after opening a rapid assessment unit and new beds at the Queen Elizabeth II Health Sciences Centre, Capital Health is reporting improved care with almost 1,200 patients already benefitting. “Making emergency care more efficient is a significant part of our commitment to providing Nova Scotians with better care sooner,” said Health and Wellness Minister Maureen MacDonald. “I’m very pleased to see that our efforts are improving the flow of patients through the emergency and trauma centre, reducing bottlenecks and improving care for patients.” Patients from across the province are now diverted to a rapid assessment unit for faster access to a specialist. The number of surgical cancellations because of lack of intensive or intermediate care beds has been decreased by more than half. Additional beds have also helped decrease the wait time by more than an hour for admitted patients waiting for general medicine beds. “These projects have had a real, measurable impact on patient flow and experience at the QEII,” said Sandra Janes, health services director for Emergency, Medicine and Geriatrics, Capital Health. “We continue to see more and more patients at the emergency and trauma centre, and without these additional resources, we would be facing significant overcrowding on a regular basis.” These improvements are part of government’s Better Care Sooner plan, launched in December. Over the next three years, the plan will improve the quality of emergency care, reduce overcrowding and wait times for patients in emergency rooms, and provide better health care for families.

Harry Chapman, recently appointed Director of Content for Mining Indaba says “we are taking the event back to its core focus on investment and significantly improving mining company and investor participation.“I would also like to introduce myself. I’ve recently taken over the lead on content for Mining Indaba. Over the past weeks, I’ve been speaking to and meeting with investors, miners, governments and other stakeholders, including the likes of Appian Capital, Anglo American and RBC Capital Markets.“I’ve seen an optimistic set of themes emerging including more appetite for exploration, renewed investor interest and improved sustainability strategies. For me, it’s about catching the next wave of growth in the mining sector.

Une baleine meurt échouée en ÉcosseMercredi 5 octobre, une baleine découverte la veille échouée sur une plage des îles Hébrides, en Écosse, est morte. Les autorités locales se trouvent très embarrassées par la gigantesque carcasse : faut-il l’enterrer ou laisser la nature se charger de sa dispersion ? Sans doute victime d’une ‘erreur de navigation’, une baleine de 18 mètres – rorqual commun ou rorqual boréal – avait été découverte échouée mardi sur une plage près de Gerinish, sur l’île de South Uist en Écosse.À lire aussiLe monstre du Loch Ness : Écosse, lac, ce qu’il faut savoir sur la légendeMalheureusement, l’animal a succombé mercredi midi, alors même que des volontaires et du personnel d’un terrain d’essais militaires proche tentaient de faciliter ses derniers instants en éloignant badauds et surtout oiseaux charognards. Passée cette tragédie, reste maintenant l’encombrante carcasse…”Essayer de disposer d’un animal de cette taille est de toute façon un casse-tête, à cause de l’éloignement de cette région. Parfois, la meilleure chose à faire est de laisser la nature suivre son cours, et [la carcasse] sera alors probablement rejetée à la mer. Ou, si le conseil local peut intervenir avec des machines, elle pourrait être débitée en morceaux et peut-être enterrée sur place”, a expliqué Charlie Phillips, membre d’une société de protection des cétacés.Le 6 octobre 2011 à 17:25 • Maxime Lambert
Séisme en Italie : “oui, les répliques risquent de continuer”Le 20 mai dernier, un séisme de magnitude 6 a ravagé une partie du nord-est de l’Italie et fait 7 morts. Cette semaine, la terre a de nouveau grondé, ajoutant 17 décès au bilan. Pour en savoir un peu plus sur le phénomène, Maxisciences a interrogé Jérôme Vergne, sismologue à l’Ecole et Observatoire des Sciences de la Terre (E.O.S.T) de Strasbourg.Maxisciences : La région était-elle préparée à un tel cataclysme ?Jérôme Vergne : Il faut savoir que cette région n’était pas à priori la zone sismique la plus dangereuse de l’Italie, beaucoup moins que le sud du pays et la Sicile. C’est sûrement pourquoi les structures para-sismiques ont fait défaut dans le nord du pays et qu’il y a eu autant de dégâts et de victimes. Mais ce sont surtout les constructions anciennes comme les clochers d’églises et les vieux bâtiments qui n’ont pas résisté.M : D’autres répliques sont à prévoir ?À lire aussiMaladie de Charcot : symptômes, causes, traitement, où en est on ?J.M : Oui, certainement. Depuis le 20 mai, nous avons enregistré plusieurs centaines de secousses. Suite au dernier séisme du 29 mai, une vingtaine d’autres se sont ajoutées au compte en l’espace de quelques heures. Malheureusement, cela risque de continuer. Cependant, on peut voir que la magnitude des répliques décroît avec le temps nous ne devrions pas connaitre de secousse aussi fortes que ces derniers jours.M : L’Italie étant proche, est-il possible qu’un séisme survienne en France ?J.M : Certains secousses ont été légèrement ressenties en France proche de la frontière. Mais il n’est pas possible que le même évènement se produise chez nous car la faille de ce séisme à rompu sur quelques dizaines de kilomètres de l’épicentre. Or, la frontière se situe à 200 kilomètres, pas de séisme à redouter dans notre pays donc. Mais ce qui est intéressant ici, ce sont les similarités du contexte sismique avec celui que nous connaissons dans l’est de la France. Nous prévoyons donc de nous intéresser de près à ce phénomène.Merci Jérôme VergneRécapitulatif des grands séismes ayant touché l’Italie ces dernières années2001 : près de Bolzano (nord) dans le Haut-Adige, le séisme fait au moins trois morts.6 septembre 2002 : à Palerme en Sicile, deux morts.31 octobre 2002 : à San Giuliano di Puglia en Molise dans le centre du pays, bilan très lourd : 30 morts.2009 : à L’Aquila dans les Abruzzes, au moins 280 morts. mai 2012 : Le 20 mai, un séisme près de Modène provoque 7 décès.. Une nouvelle secousse se produit le 29 mai d’une magnitude plus faible mais faisant au moins 17 mortsLe 2 juin 2012 à 14:03 • Maxime Lambert
The former Barcelona midfielder, Gaizka Mendieta has trashed claims the mercurial Argentine needs to win international honours to be considered a footballing great as he Lionel Messi does not need to win a World Cup to be classed as one of football’s greatest players, according to Goal.Messi has been regarded as one of the greatest players to have graced the game for Argentina but international honours have so far eluded him. He has secured nine La Liga titles, lifted the Copa del Rey on six occasions and is a four-time Champions League win since making his Barca debut in 2004. But, with Argentina, the 30-year-old has only a string of runners-up medals from major tournaments – including four years ago at the 2014 World Cup.Some critics have said Messi cannot be classified as legendary as names like Pele and Diego Maradona until he leads his country to success, but Mendieta disagrees.Speaking courtesy of Nissan, official Champions League partner, the Spaniard said:“You don’t need a World Cup title to be the best.
Quiz: How much do you know about David Villa? Boro Tanchev – September 14, 2019 Time to test your knowledge about Spanish legendary forward David Villa.“He [Messi] has shown for many years with his level and pace. We don’t need to see him winning the World Cup to admire him.“He is among the greatest anyway.”The World Cup in Russia could end Messi’s long wait for international success, something Mendieta would like to see – providing it is not at Spain’s expense.“I am supporting Spain, but I have to say I will support Messi because we have a Barcelona link and a personal relationship,” he added.“It would be nice seeing Messi lifting a World Cup.
