Copper fell in Asia on Wednesday and gold dipped after data from China showed lower than expected gains in industrial production, retail sales and fixed-asset investment for the first quarter, though GDP came in on target.
On the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange, gold prices for June delivery held around $1,191.40 an ounce, down 0.10%.
Elsewhere, Silver for May delivery traded around $16.120 a troy ounce, down 0.25%, while copper for May delivery dipped 0.28% to $2.698 a pound.
Intergenerational programs have significant benefits for youth and older adults. Youth involved in these programs are less likely to use drugs or alcohol or skip school. These programs also help bring together different age groups, dispel stereotypes, and allow people of all ages to feel like contributing members of their community. They further help preserve cultural traditions and strengthen partnerships in the community.

Biomass — renewable energy from plants and animalsDhananjay Rao
- Biomass is organic material from plants and animals that contains stored energy from the sun. It is a renewable energy source that can be used to produce heat, electricity, methane gas, ethanol, and biodiesel.
- Biomass can be burned directly to produce heat, or processed to release its chemical energy in other usable forms. Common biomass fuels include wood, crops, manure, garbage and other waste materials.
- Biogas is a mixture of methane and carbon dioxide produced from the breakdown of organic matter by bacteria during anaerobic digestion. It can be captured from various waste sources and used as a fuel.

La Virgen interviene divinamente para revelar la elección de Dios. Jerónimo es escogido y se convierte en un buen obispo y pastor que guía a su pueblo hasta el final de sus días.
CHARACTERIZATION OF LEACHATE FROM MUNCIPAL LANDFILL AND ITS EFFECT ON SURROUN...Dr. Naveen BP
Percolating water passing through waste becomes contaminated and will have dissolved soluble organic and inorganic compounds as well as suspended particles. Also the pore fluid of the waste is often released and mixes with this water. The entire contaminated fluid is called leachate. There are many factors that affect leachate production like annual precipitation, runoff, infiltration, evaporation, transpiration, and freezing, mean ambient temperature, waste composition, waste density, initial moisture content, and depth of the waste fill. The production of leachate reduces when a landfill is closed. The decomposition of waste in presence of water can be separated into two different phases of degradation viz., initial aerobic and subsequent anaerobic. Generally, the leachate undergoes natural chemical changes over time that reduces its toxicity. Some of the soluble contaminants enrich the water table, or the saturated zone. Some of remaining molecules naturally adsorbed to the clay liner particles. The paper discusses the characteristics of leachate generated from municipal solid waste landfill and its effect on surrounding water bodies near Mavallipura landfill area in Bangalore. Two samples of water from the nearby pond and well were collected from downstream of Mavallipura landfill site. Physico-chemical characterization of leachate has shown that the leachate contains high concentrations of organic and inorganic constituents beyond the permissible limits. While the heavy metals concentration was in traces as the waste is dumped in the landfill is mainly domestic in nature. The pH of the leachate is marginally alkaline as the pH is 7.4. The results also showed that the highest metal concentration that exists in the leachate was Iron which is about of 11.16 ppm. BOD5 and COD of the leachate are 1500 mg/l and 10400 mg/l, respectively. The leachate characteristics indicate favorable growth of algae in natural water contaminated with leachate with the alkaline condition and with the presence of magnesium as nutrient, which has been confirmed in the nearby surface pond. Knowledge of leachate quality will be useful in planning and providing remedial measures to protect surface and ground water quality in the area.
