Confront Long-Term Unemployment New
Let’s invest in jobs with-long term payoff. Until we get a vaccine, there will be continuing unemployment in the jobs where people are close together: restaurants, theaters, sporting events, airplanes, and cruises. Grants for more energy efficient homes and industrial buildings would make jobs for local contractors. The resulting lower energy costs with lower carbon dioxide emissions would repay the cost several times over. This comes when science tells us there is no time for delay on dealing with climate change.
Joe Biden’s “build back better” will immediately invest in sustainable job creation, new industries, and re-invigorated regional economies.
To outcompete China, Americans could invent, commercialize and manufacture the new battery technology needed to store solar and wind energy and for electric vehicles. Businesses and job creators all across our country would supply the materials and parts.
Millions of construction workers are needed to build affordable housing and to rebuild our crumbling infrastructure, including aging nuclear reactors. These generate 20% of our electricity with no carbon dioxide emissions. Americans are developing advanced reactors that are smaller, safer, and more efficient at half today’s construction costs.

Wind Turbines or Wind Energy
Wind energy is a renewable energy source that uses wind power to generate electricity or mechanical power. It has been used since ancient times to power ships, but modern wind turbines were invented in the late 19th century. Denmark currently leads in wind energy usage. Wind turbines can power homes and vehicles, and generating wind energy helps reduce air pollution and global warming while saving water. However, wind energy is also an intermittent source and building large wind turbines is costly.
The world in 50 years
The document discusses the current state of renewable energy and projections for the future. It notes that in 2008 over half of renewable energy came from hydropower but renewables only made up 18% of total energy.

Renewable energy for afghans villagers
Electricity is the life blood of Economic development of any country. The success of any country is only possible with the availability of it. The people of Afghanistan desperately need it for their socio economic development. All major polls show that Afghans wants electricity more than anything else.
The decades of war have left the country's infrastructure unfortunately spifflicated as well as the power grid badly damaged so it becomes more difficult to get electricity out there fast by using conventional cheap electricity generation methods.
The provision of renewable energy power plants to Afghan villages is a feasible speedy solution which can provide the electricity in few days with no fuel cost. Sustainable energy can be provided and the dream comes true.
Energy can be provided by the burning fossil fuel but the main drawback associated with it is the unfortunate security issues in the country. So for time being production of energy from renewable such as solar, wind, bio gas seems only the feasible solution.
Firstly, an on grid provision of electricity may be established for Afghans further it may be extended to off grid solution with step by step installation at selected vicinity on the basis of good maintenance of current grid system.
Projects
The document outlines achievements and key results related to sustainable development consulting contracts. It secured a contract with the Solar Energy Corporation of India for RESCO based projects and with the Archdiocese of Delhi. Key results included negotiating water conversions and installations of water treatment systems for various organizations, tying partnerships to sell and maintain portable water filtration systems through self-help groups with funding from government and corporate partners.

5. team-e.p.a.t-project-bio-diesel
Team Profile:
Team E.P.A.T comprises of 4 individuals with their own distinct ideologies and creative spasms. Every
Individual here is an Undergraduate student of BSMRMU, Dhaka with one among us from a different
educational major. Each of us carry our own set of ethics and skills; but all were united in the Front to
establish this concept into the basis of a reality project. We divided our workspaces and worked in each
of our assigned tasks with personal strengths. Through dedication & research and the aggravated use of
the Internet as both source and communication, we were able to construct a project that started from
nothing to now something; the combined ideology that coincides with our personal goals
Abstract:
In order to preserve our way of life, it is high time we shifted focus towards better initiatives at
necessary costs. Harnessing our environment by enterprising nature’s fortification will provide a strong
starting platform and bring Blessings in the long term.
The diesel engine is the most efficient prime mover commonly available today. These magnificent
machines help move a large portion of the world's goods, power much of the world's equipment, and
generate electricity more economically than any other device in their size range. But even with so many
positives, its source of power (Diesel) is at the center of many of our world’s environmental problems.
Being one of the largest contributors to environmental pollution problems worldwide, it also boasts the
malefic distinguishment of being a prime cause for Human Cancer, global warming and directly involved
with spoilage of land fertility & Marine-life.
As a Counter-measure, Bio-diesel allows us to successfully minimize these negative effects and provide
sustainability. It proves to be the best replacement because of its unique properties like significant
reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, non-sulphur emissions, non-particulate matter pollutants, low
toxicity and biodegradability. Cost is reduced using waste cooking oil as feedstock whose rather
detrimental effects on our environment and human bodies are reversed into proper sources of diverse
energy. If implemented properly, a Bio-diesel station could revolutionize the fuel market with the added
bonus of being opportunistic, environment- friendly and source of employment. This could be an
initiative profitable for both the environment and livelihoods.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data Warehouse
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;

Cosa hanno in comune un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ?
ABSTRACT: A prima vista, un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ potrebbero avere in comune il fatto di essere entrambi blocchi di costruzione, o dipendenze di progetti creativi e software. La realtà è che un mattoncino Lego e il caso della backdoor XZ hanno molto di più di tutto ciò in comune.
