Here is the roundup of the latest news across the physio-room's of Manchester United and Chelsea.
Manchester United Updates:
Manchester United midfielder Tom Cleverley pulled out of the England squad during their World Cup qualifiers against Montenegro and Poland with a calf strain. After initial suggestions that the England International may be sideline for two weeks, it is now reported that he may be sideline for a longer time.
Having reported back to United's own doctors at their Carrington training base, the Red Devils fear he could be facing a longer spell on the sidelines. The midfielder is not a stranger to calf problems.He has suffered an extended period in the sidelines 18 months ago, and is scheduled to undergo further scans to see if there is a serious problem.
Meanwhile Marouane Fellaini's injury to his wrist was not bad as it sounded earlier and is expected to play this weekend during United's clash against Southampton. Physioroom.com also reports that defenders Rafael and Ferdinand might return this Saturday.
Liverpool Updates:
The Reds have received a major injury boost ahead of their trip to Newcastle United as defender Glen Johnson return to first team training. The England International has been out of the game for almost a month now when he limped off the ground during their clash against Manchester United in September.
The Mirror reports that Johnson if everything goes according to the plan could see some gametime this weekend.
"Glen is the type of player you don't realise what you're missing until he's not in the team," he said.
"He was outstanding against Manchester United so it will be great when we get him back. He's got the cast off his foot now and he's working hard to be back in the next few weeks." said Brendan Rodgers.
Trained with the team today. Felt good and will hopefully make enough progress in time for Saturday!!! #FingersXd
— Glen Johnson (@glen_johnson) October 15, 2013
In other news, midfielder Joe Allen feels that he is back to full fitness and is expecting to be included in the Reds squad during their Newcastle clash this weekend.
"The plan is to get back into training, get a good few days leading up to the Newcastle game and hopefully I'll be available for selection from there on. It has been a bit of a frustrating time – it always is when you're injured – but I'm finally getting there," Allen told the Post.

For February 2022, the New Moon is Feb. 1 The slender waxing crescent is four degrees south of Jupiter in the twilight on Feb. 2, and by month's end, all the naked eye planets will be behind the Sun or in the dawn sky. The first-quarter moon is Feb. 8, and the Full Moon, the Hunger or Wolf Moon, is Feb. 16. The last quarter is Feb. 23. The waning crescent rejoins the dawn planets at month's end, passing below brilliant Venus and below it, much fainter and redder Mars, on Feb. 27.
Having swiftly passed between us and the Sun in late January, Mercury is low in the southeast dawn sky in mid-February, reaching the greatest western elongation, 26 degrees in front of the Sun, on Feb. 16 just below and to the left of bright Venus and Mars. Venus will dominate the dawn during most of 2022. It is at its brightest as a brilliant crescent on Feb. 7 and continues to pull away from the Sun and wax in phase until summer. Mars is south of Venus, moving slowly eastward. It will come to the opposition this fall. Both Jupiter and Saturn are lost in the Sun until March.
Visit skymaps.com for a more extensive calendar, and list of best objects for the naked eyes, binoculars, and scopes on the back of the map.
At Perseus' feet for the famed Pleiades cluster; they lie about 400 light-years distant, and over 250 stars are members of this fine group. East of the seven sisters is the V of stars marking the face of Taurus the Bull, with bright orange Aldebaran as his eye; use it (mag. +0.9) as a comparison star to measure the fading of Betelguese. The V of stars is the Hyades cluster, older than the blue Pleiades, but about half their distance.
South of Gemini, Orion is the most familiar winter constellation, dominating the eastern sky at dusk. The reddish supergiant Betelguese marks his eastern shoulder, while blue-white supergiant Rigel stands opposite on his west knee. Betelguese is also known as Alpha Orionis, for it has been the brightest star in Orion most of the time. But for much for 2019, it faded due to an expulsion of condensing carbon dust (soot) blown off in our direction and was only one-third its greatest brightness. But now this cloud has dissipated and it is back close to normal.
Just south of the belt, hanging like a sword downward, is M-42, the Great Nebula of Orion, an outstanding binocular and telescopic stellar nursery. The bright diamond of four stars that light it up is the trapezium cluster, one of the finest sights in a telescope. Just east of Betelguese is the fine binocular cluster NGC 2244. But the much fainter Rosette Nebula that it lies in the center of requires bigger scopes or astrophotography.
In the east rise the hunter's two faithful companions, Canis major, and minor. Procyon is the bright star in the little dog and rises before Sirius, the brightest star in the sky. Midway between them is the fine Rosette Nebula, a star nursery including the nice open cluster NGC 2244, easily found in binoculars.
Bottom of Form
Sirius dominates the southeast sky by 7 p.m., and as it rises, the turbulent winter air causes it to sparkle with shafts of spectral fire. Beautiful as the twinkling appears to the naked eye, for astronomers, this means the image is blurry; only in space can we truly see "clearly now." At eight light-years distance, Sirius is the closest star we can easily see with the naked eye from West Florida. For a sense of stellar distances, consider sunlight is eight minutes old by the time it warms your face. So the light from Sirius has taken the number of minutes in a year (eight minutes versus eight years), or 60 x 24 x 365.25 = 525,960 times; Sirius is more than a half-million times distant than our Sun. While it is 21x more luminous than our Sun in reality, no wonder the Sun rules the day! And Sirius is the closest star you can easily see from here. Almost everything you see in the night sky must be millions of times more distant from us than our home star.
When Sirius is highest, along our southern horizon look for the second brightest star, Canopus, getting just above the horizon and sparkling like an exquisite diamond as the turbulent winter air twists and turns this shaft of starlight, after a trip of about 200 years!
To the northeast, a reminder that spring is coming; look for the bowl of the Big Dipper to rise, with the top two stars, the pointers, giving you a line to find Polaris, the Pole Star. But if you take the pointers south, you are guided instead to the head of Leo the Lion rising in the east, looking much like the profile of the famed Sphinx. The bright star at Lion's heart is Regulus, the "regal star". Fitting for our cosmic king of beasts, who are rising at the end of this month means March indeed will be coming in "like a lion."
We have set new dates for our public gazes at Big Lagoon State Park west of Pensacola for these Saturdays: Feb. 5 and 19, March 12 and 26, and April 8 and 23. Be sure to check-in at the gate before sunset.

The Berthel Fisher Companies have a new senior leadership team. The shakeup includes the elevation of Andrew Christofferson to CEO of the firm's RIA, two broker-dealers and insurance company. Mr. Christofferson was Berthel's chief operating officer.
He will replace Berthel co-founder Tom Berthel, who will continue to act as president, CEO and chairman of the firm's holding company and focus on capitalization and strategic initiatives.
In other leadership changes impacting the organization's subsidiaries, Paige Swartzendruber is now the firm's chief business development officer; Brian Rupp is treasurer and chief financial officer; and Joanna Schaul is the chief administrative officer.
"I am thrilled that Andy is taking over as my successor in overseeing day-to-day operations of our subsidiaries, and I congratulate Paige, Brian and Joanna on their promotions," Mr. Berthel said. "These moves have been in the works for some time, so I'm proud that this day has finally come and relieved that our financial professionals will be in great hands going forward."
Berthel Fisher has about 360 affiliated financial professionals who oversee approximately $9.8 billion in assets under advisement.
Christofferson is a 23-year veteran of the financial services industry. His previous roles at Berthel include senior vice president of business development, chief business development officer and, most recently, COO. Earlier in his career, he served as CIO at Securian Advisors MidAmerica. He began his career with InterSecurities, now part of Transamerica Financial Advisors.
Swartzendruber joined Berthel Fisher in 2007. During her time with the firm, she has been a registered representative, financial planner and vice president (advisor relationships & strategy consulting).
Rupp joined Berthel Fisher in 2016. Previously, he served as a vice president (controller, treasurer and director) at the firm.
Before her promotion, Ms. Schaul was senior vice president administration and secretary for Berthel Fisher subsidiaries.
"We have a very strong leadership team in place, and all of us look forward to continuing to work with Tom closely as he focuses on other strategic priorities for the company, as well as to building upon his impressive legacy of supporting our financial professionals," Mr. Christofferson said.

The Standing Rock protests, which have now continued for months as the Standing Rock Sioux tribe fights against the Dakota Access oil pipeline and its potential to pollute their water supply, have reached a new level of violence, as private security guards working for the primary construction company associated with the project attacked the Native American protesters with dogs and pepper spray Saturday.
Amy Goodman of Democracy Now! has been onsite covering the protests, and the network posted photos and video from the attack over this weekend. The protesters have been waiting for a ruling from a federal judge regarding whether the construction may be subject an injunction, but found a tribal burial site bulldozed over the weekend and have now asked for a temporary restraining order as well.
Goodman spoke to Jan Hasselman, a staff attorney with Earthjustice representing the tribe in the suit, and Dave Archambault, the chair of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe.
Archambault condemned the actions of the private security firm hired by the construction company for the Pipeline, saying officials' reports about an "angry mob" and "riot scene" were false:
But it—that was not what was taking place. We had protectors who were concerned about the land. And it just goes to show what kind of a company Energy [Transfer] Partners is. They have—they have zero policies on community relations, zero policy on human rights, zero policies on Indian rights, indigenous rights. So, when a company is like that, they have no social responsibility, and they don't care about anything. And they hire security companies with untrained handlers. And these handlers—the dogs were attacking the handlers. That's why they released dogs into the crowd. And then they go and try to recover them. It just doesn't make sense, and it's not right, what this company, Energy [Transfer] Partners, is doing. They say they have every right to be there, but so do we.
A spokesperson from Dakota Access issued a statement indicating that security personal and several of their dogs were attacked. According to Archambault, the attack by the security company was completely unprovoked. Archambault also said that law enforcement began releasing statements to the public from the company without also releasing witness statements and protester statements about the incident.
According to tribe spokesman Steve Sitting Bear, at least six people were bitten by dogs including one child.
In late August, Greg Wilz, director of North Dakota Homeland Security, ordered the water supply for the protesters to be removed, citing alleged disorderly conduct.

Few things are worse during the height of summer than the realization that your air conditioner is no longer blowing cold air, but before you call for an inspection, there are a few things you can try yourself. What at first might seem like a symptom of a broken air conditioning unit could also be the result of a temporary malfunction or an inexpensive part that needs replacing, and spending a few minutes testing these components can save you time waiting for repairs.
Check Your Thermostat's Power Source
Your thermostat is in charge of operating your air conditioner and furnace, and if your thermostat has no power, your air conditioner won't get any signal to turn on. If your thermostat runs on batteries, check to make sure your thermostat's display is working. Even if it is, the batteries could be close to dead, so try replacing them to see if that does the trick. If your thermostat has another power source, such as a circuit, check to make sure that circuit hasn't tripped.
Check Your Circuit Breaker
Your air conditioning unit requires electricity to run, and during the height of summer, heavy and steady appliance use can occasionally cause circuits to break, especially if the circuits are older. Check your circuit breaker to make sure none of your circuits have tripped. Keep in mind that all the components that make up your HVAC system may be connected to a few different circuits, so don't look for only one.
If this is the problem, flipping the switch to restore the circuit should fix the problem. It isn't uncommon for this to happen rarely, but if you find that this circuit is constantly tripping, you have an electrical issue that needs to be investigated before it does any damage.
Check The Outdoor Unit
With your air conditioner turned on, go outside to where your outdoor unit is installed. If your air conditioner is on, the unit should be on, making noise as the fan blades turn. There are a few things to look out for here. See if:
- The unit is making no motion or sound at all.
- The unit is making a buzzing sound, but isn't moving.
Both of these issues could indicate an electrical issue of some kind, some of which can be fixed by checking your circuit breaker or replacing certain parts. If the unit is making a buzzing sound but the blades are not moving, this could also indicate a problem with the motor or compressor, but there's one more thing to try first.
Check The Fuses
Fuses are often overlooked as part of routine maintenance because they require no cleaning and are relatively inexpensive to replace. They should last at least a few years, but if you have an older AC unit that's starting to malfunction, this is a great place to look for issues.
Most AC fuses can simply be snapped out of their housing and replaced with new ones from a hardware store, so you don't need much electrical know-how to do this. Still, take precautions by turning off your air conditioner at the thermostat, breaking the circuit to stop electrical flow, and use rubber gloves. If you need help, take the old fuses with you to the store to find the right replacements. Pop the new ones in and make sure the housing is secure and closed, then turn everything back on.
If none of these steps helped, it's time to call a professional. The good news is that, by taking these troubleshooting steps, you've helped narrow down the source of the problem significantly, which will likely save you some money when it comes to repairs. Contact a company like TemperaturePro of Central Maryland to learn more.

Rachel Howzell Hall's latest gothic thriller, What Never Happened, has already been making waves as her finest work yet, and it's no wonder why. Set on Catalina Island, the story follows Coco, the sole survivor of a haunting home invasion two decades ago. She starts investigating a series of suspicious deaths on the island and things take a sinister turn as she receives her own obituary in the mail.
In a recent email conversation Rachel shared the inspirations behind this gripping tale as well as her insights into character development and storytelling. What Never Happened is a testament to Rachel's exceptional talent for crafting intricate plots and relatable characters.
I want to start out talking about obituaries – both the real and the fake ones that act as death threats – that you incorporate throughout this novel. What made you choose this device, and Collette's profession of obituary writer? Follow up, what do you think makes a good obituary?
Collette experienced one of the worst events that could ever happen to a person—a home invasion that resulted in the murders of her parents and brother. She knows death. She also knows that victims are more than that. They were fully realized individuals with exciting or mundane lives, who have lived and loved, who deserve more than a tribute that only gives the specifics and offers information that could be used for any other person by simply changing birth and death dates. Her family had those types of obituaries and to her, they didn't capture the people she cared about.
Because of all this, I chose obituary writer as a career. Good obituary writers do some research, sometimes interviewing those left behind. Good obituary writers learn family secrets and family drama. They are invited guests who get to pry because that's their job. As I researched this profession, I learned that there are prizes for the best obits written—and reading these tributes… These tributes help you learn more about the decedent, help you see why this person will be missed. These folks are more than birth and death dates. They had ticks and phobias, dreams and obsessions. I think stories that you can't write without talking to loved ones makes a good obituary.
You also incorporate a lot of text message exchanges throughout this story – some that even act as evidence. How do you approach these versus the other dialogue that you include in the novel? What's your process on choosing when something would be a text versus a face-to-face exchange?
We do a lot of communicating through text messages now, and so, it just felt right to include them in the story. These ways of communication are different than dialogue because they're brief, for one. Texts are snippets, misspelled and often direct. They can be bolder than what you say to someone standing in front of you. They're safe. You don't have to worry about facial reactions and body language.
So, I chose texts according to the situation. Those times Colette didn't or couldn't communicate directly with the recipient.
I appreciated how you included a few very relatable, but not often seen, female relationships that are caring on the surface but hostile underneath. Tell us how you developed these character dynamics. Are they modeled after any experiences you had with friends and family, or imagined?
Ha. Women can be your best friend—and worst enemy. Women have frenemies, friends that you compete against, knowingly or unknowingly. So I had to include those dynamics. I also wanted to tackle the complicated friendships that Black women have with white women. As a Black women with white women friends, it takes me a while to develop a sense of trust. It takes patience to help them see their privilege, their micro-aggressions and biases. You have to determine, as a Black woman, are they an ally or are they the tattletales of the world. You know, the ones who believe they are the world's manager and have to control everything around them and will rat you out to the boss or to the police because they feel you've done something out of bounds.
As for Colette's relationship with Aunt Gwen… It's a generational thing, right? Aunt Gwen's hostile because she is suffering from some mental incapacitation and doesn't want to admit, but here comes her niece wanting to rule the roost. And there's also the exhaustion of being an old Black lady who's fought for everything and watching this young Black woman exist in a world without having to dip her head to white people, to walk in the street to let white folks remain on the sidewalk. To Gwen, Colette has it easy and now, she's come to take away the house Gwen's lived in for twenty years? Yeah, she a little hostile.
Catalina, the setting, is a predominately white island undergoing a real estate boom and you depict it in a way that helps highlight the Black experience in America with examples of micro aggressions, police indifference, and blockbusting attempts. Why did you choose to set this story in Catalina and which aspects of the Weber family's experience with racism were most important for you to include?
I wanted Catalina because of its location—just twenty-six miles or so from California. It's a part of Los Angeles County but… not. Bad weather comes in, though, and they're completely cut off by the span of ocean. It's a spot for the best locked-room story, except it's an island.
Catalina's also one of the glamorous places Old Hollywood retreated to, and because of this, the owners of the land and those who managed had to make it more "hospitable" to the rich folks that often visited. That meant displacing the native population there—the Tongva tribe. That meant taking advantage of the fact that Black folks back then weren't allowed on the ferries that brought people over. And if you can't cross, then you can't settle. And so, Black people didn't have a place there. Even now, there are barely any Black folks living full-time in such a lovely place.
So I wanted to talk about belonging, and how changes in environment can ruin a place. For instance, there's mention of Colette's brother eating a tangerine while on the island. The tour guide picks up his discarded seeds from the ground. Well, tangerines aren't a part of the ecosystem of the island. If a citrus tree grows there, it may take all the water in that area. It may introduce new kinds of bacteria and fungus that are dangerous to native plants. It messes up the balance.
Colette and her family, to some people on the island, messes up the balance.
You incorporate COVID really naturally in this novel, was that always the plan or did you begin writing it before the pandemic?
Yes, I wanted to include COVID even before I wrote the first page. It was one of the first times in modern history that we had to stay away from each other, for-real-for real, or risk catching the virus and possibly dying. COVID was the apex experience of isolation, even in a city as big as Los Angeles. And then, add the masks—you couldn't see people, their expressions. You couldn't determine if that person is a bandit or simply a guy wearing a mask because of the mandate.
So, I wanted true isolation for Colette. I wanted her to be stuck on that island, isolated from what she knows—Los Angeles—for what she's feared all this time: returning to the place where her family was killed. There was limited ferry runs during COVID, and this cut Colette off even more.
You do a wonderful job making this story terrifying, it's a page turning thriller! Something I noticed was your use of sound – from window scratches to creaks which often come across as downright sinister because they are so well placed. Can you share your approach to including sensory details in your scenes?
Thank you! Sounds can't be seen, you know? You rely on your own compendium to figure out what's making that sound. For Colette, in a place that's already haunted because of her family, she's on edge. Her hearing things and not seeing them adds to her fear. She's also lived in the city all of her life, a place vibrant with too much sound. But those sirens and helicopters and noisy neighbors and car horns become white noise. On an island, you hear the unfamiliar. You don't know what a deer sounds like when eating, so it freaks you out. You've never heard a frog croaking in real life, so that freaks you out. So, as I wrote, I identified those parts of the story that were already suspenseful and used sound to amplify (ha) that.
What's your advice for young writers just starting out in the horror or thriller genre? Any lessons learned early in your career that you can share?
Read the types of stories you want to write. For fun, initially, and then, a second time, forensically. Learn how the writer built the story, overall, and map out those beats that made the novel successful. Study suspense, thriller and horror screenplays, too. Screenwriters have to get the suspense and horror of a scene in the least amount of words possible.

Knowing how to record an interview is an incredibly handy skill to have, whether you're working on a remote interview for work, a podcast interview or something else entirely. At VEED, we understand that you may need some help in figuring out how to record interviews and then learning how to edit them afterwards.
In this guide, we'll be taking a look at:
- How to record an interview
- How to edit videos with VEED
- How to effectively use interview content
How To Record An Interview Online
To start off with, let's take a look at how to record an interview effectively. This will be predominantly focused on online interviews, due to the amount of people who are working long distance/from home right now.
1) Pick your recording software
The most important thing to start off with is to choose your online tool or software. Whether as a digital voice recorder or with video, there are a number of great tools to choose from, including;
- Zoom. Perfect for video recording
- Zencastr. Great async digital voice recorder.
- Riverside.fm
- Squadcast
- ClearCast
- Iris
The audio quality of your recording files depends on your equipment, so make sure that your mic is working.
Make sure to spend some time reading through these options and searching through reviews, to find the best option for you.
2) Prepare for your interview
It's important to make sure that you spend some time preparing your interview setting before you get started with your actual interview. Make sure that you are filming in a quiet place with no echos, background noise or distractions.
You could benefit from recording a test interview to trial the voice recorder tool, to see the audio quality and to double check the quality of your chosen software and microphone are performing well. This can help to avoid any slip-ups on the day.
3) Double check your recording quality
Once you're all done with your recording, do make sure to double check your files and watch it. Make sure there are no missing elements or any issues with the audio/video quality before you get going with the next step.
If you discover you've missed a question or point, try not to worry. You can always shoot your interviewee a quick follow-up email and add this information in using an online video editor.
Invest in a good mic and internet connection, if you can. Have a degree of noise cancellation. The sound quality of your audio recording depends heavily on these things.
4) Audio is king
You're recording an interview to go through the content afterward, so it only makes sense that sound quality is most important aspect of your files. Reduce background noise as much as you can by staying in a quiet area. Your digital recorder should be able to capture the audio first and foremost.
Disable video if you need to improve the sound quality or whenever the connection becomes too choppy. These are some things to make your digital voice recorder work to your favor and have quality audio in the end.
5) Remember to highlight key details
During the interview, remember that key details and data should be highlighted and re-emphasized.
Losing the person-to-person aspect can impact both the interviewee and the viewer's memory of key data, so you need to be very clear and concise.
You can do this by asking the interviewee to be clear on a certain topic or telling them to use facts and figures when answering certain questions.
Otherwise, you can use your digital voice recorder's editor to isolate these key instances.
6) Edit as needed
Finally, make sure to find a great media editor online to complement your digital voice recorder.
One of the most important aspects of knowing how to record an interview properly is knowing which pieces can be cut and which pieces may need extra details added in. Once you have your audio files from your digital recorder, it's time to edit them with VEED.
Editing Recordings With VEED

To change the aspect ratio, head to the settings tab in the left hand toolbar. Here, you can pick out a specific video size from the size drop down menu.
3) Automatically add accurate subtitles in a few clicks
No need to pay for expensive interview transcription services. To add subtitles with VEED, go to the subtitles button in the left hand toolbar, and pick from the main 3 options. You can choose manual subtitles, automatic subtitles or external file-based subtitles. Its transcription accuracy is pretty accurate, but it does mispell proper nouns.
You can fix issues relating to mispelled proper nouns using the subtitle editor.
Do make sure to double check the accuracy and quality, and adjust them in the style tab if needed, too. You can even translate your content with VEED- check out this tutorial on YouTube for more information about this.
4) Add text to your video

You can then adjust the text, font, format, size and color in the text menu. If needed, you can directly adjust the text on the video project too.
5) Turn your audio into a video audiogram
You can find a number of other interesting elements and graphics in VEED's editor. These can be found in the elements tab, in the left hand toolbar.
You can add them by selecting them in the relevant element menu, then adjusting and resizing them where needed on your video.
If you want to draw on your video, you can head to the draw button and pick out a brush stroke, size and color.
6) Download your project
Now, you can download your video! Head to the top right hand corner of your screen and hit the export button to start.
You can choose between downloading an MP4 file or a GIF, or sharing your download link with somebody else too.
How To Use Interview Content
To finish up, let's take a quick look at the most effective ways that you can use your interview video and audio content.
1) Summarize it in newsletters
If you have a weekly email newsletter, summarising your interview content into a sound bite or text snippet could be a great way to entertain your customers.
2) Embed in articles
You can embed these interviews into your articles. Or you can add direct quotes to relevant content to bring in engaging anecdotes that emphasize the points you're making.
3) Put testimonials on your website
Are you using interview content to promote your store or services? If so, including clips from your interview as a testimonial on your website could be a fantastic way to do this.
4) Share on social media
Finally, you can cut your interviews into bite-sized content to share on social media. This is an example of content repurposing that really allows you to maximize your content's value.
Edit Your Interviews With VEED
Overall, knowing how to record an interview to a high level of quality can be incredibly helpful- both for the actual practice of interviewing, and for improving your content strategy, too.

In Madhya Pradesh, Hygenco installed India's first off-grid solar PV-based green hydrogen pilot plant. This green hydrogen pilot plant is a) 100 percent green because it is grid-independent (or powered by fossil fuels) and b) in line with India's Atmanirbhar Vision of becoming energy self-sufficient by showing cost-competitive green hydrogen production.
Meeting these two goals will help India accomplish its climate goals while also positioning it as a worldwide hydrogen Centre.
The pilot plant, which is located in the Ujjain District (about 60 kilometers from Ujjain), began trial operations on March 31, 2022 and was completely commissioned on April 15, 2022. Hygenco is taking advantage of the abundant renewable energy resources in the area to generate solar and wind energy.
"We are honoured to contribute to India's goal of producing five million tonnes of green hydrogen annually by 2030." Amit Bansal, co-founder and CEO of Hygenco, said, "This pilot plant will be part of our R&D Center of Excellence in hydrogen technology."
Hygenco's green hydrogen pilot plant is a state-of-the-art, fully autonomous facility run by a sophisticated energy management and control system. Hundreds of factors are monitored by the EMCS, including solar PV generation, state of charge, hydrogen generation, pressure, temperature, and electrolyser purities, and it makes autonomous real-time decisions to attain high efficiencies. Hygenco can use the technology to boost hydrogen yield and provide cost-effective hydrogen to its customers.

ITANAGAR, Mar 06: Dangwimsai Pul, wife of former Arunachal Pradesh chief minister Kalikho Pul on Monday alleged MoS for Home Kiren Rijiju of hatching a conspiracy in stalling her plans of meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
"I was optimistic of getting help and assistance from the MPs of our state in my fight for justice, particularly Kiren Rijiju, because he was a good friend of my late husband. In addition to him being an MP, he also commands and exerts commendable power and reputation in the national level as the MoS for Home Affairs. However, to utter my surprise he did not even concede to give me an audience, least to talk of assisting and advising me regarding the case," Dangwimsai told a news conference at Arunachal Press Club (APC) here.
"I am aghast that the man who has time to lecture on whether to eat beef or not or to opine for the causes of ABVP wing of Delhi University Students, did not have the time to look into the matter of a former chief minister of his state who used to be his colleague. These things give me reasons to doubt that even my plan to try to meet the prime minister was stalled by him," the widow alleged.
Lamenting that even the Supreme Court, in which she had big hopes could not do much for her and instead tried to dismiss the case, Dangwimsai said, "I was very hopeful of getting justice through the contents of 'Mere Vichaar" because there are very shocking and serious allegations made against various constitutional heads, politicians in etc. Moreover, a suicide note is a dying man's declaration under Article 32 of the Evidence Act. However, Chief Justice of India (CJI) J S Khehar instead of passing an administrative order converted my application into a writ petition and listed it before a bench. This directive of Justice Khehar's has also compelled me to doubt the integrity of the whole process.
"I was not served any notice in advance for the hearing. I was informed through a telephone call on the night of February 22 last that hearing for my case had been fixed for the next day at court No 13. I was not even given enough time even to consult my lawyer. To be precise, the CJI was trying to bury the matter so that an investigation could be avoided, Dangwimsai added.
She further asserted that the case would have been dismissed had she not withdrew it.
"When I smelled conspiracies and foul plays and everything seemed to fail me, I wrote a letter to the Vice President of India. Although I could not get an audience with the Vice President for he was out of the country, I submitted a letter to his secretariat. I have also submitted a letter to the Secretary General of the Supreme Court for his kind information and reference," Dangwimsai informed.
She further alleged leaders of the state of trying to sabotage her campaign in every possible way and appealed Prime Minister Modi to live up to his promise of creating a 'corruption free India' and snatch the power of Chief Minister Pema Khandu, Deputy Chief Minister Chowna Mein and government spokesperson P D Sona so that a fair and free investigation could be initiated in the case.
She at the time also thanked Assam chief minister Sarbananda Sonowal for his assurance to help her.
Speaking on the occasion, Green Arunachal Foundation (GAF) Chairman Takam Tatung expressed resentment over the governor not being able to take out time for them.
"The governor, being the constitutional head of state is supposed to be equal to all. However, such has not been the case," added Tatung further informing that they are yet to hear from the governor on the memorandum they submitted on February 13 last.
Meanwhile, Pul's eldest son Ojingso who was also present in the conference appealed the students' union of state, particularly All Arunachal Pradesh Students' Union (AAPSU) to support him and his family in their struggle.

About Olivenhain
Occupying the easternmost section of the City of Encinitas, the upscale neighborhood of Olivenhain stretches north from the San Elijo Lagoon, along Manchester Avenue and Rancho Santa Fe Road. In the late nineteenth century, Olivenhain, which translates to "Olive Grove," was settled as a German colony. The area later developed into a thriving farming community, and a historic, rural atmosphere survives to this day.
Locals treasure Olivenhain's rural atmosphere, and zoning laws have protected the community from feeling overcrowded. Homes here are generally custom-built and detached, sitting on lots that range from half an acre to over five acres in size. The low-density zoning has kept Olivenhain special, and residents enjoy feeling like they're miles from anywhere. Another bonus to living here is the "dark skies" policy, which prevents street lighting from spoiling magnificent starry nights.
Olivenhain is truly a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, and many locals enjoy the area's parks as part of their active lifestyles. There's a strong equestrian culture here, and residents making their way through the neighborhood on horseback is a common sight. On Lone Jack Road, Little Oaks Park is a fantastic horse park with an arena, trailer parking, and picnic tables. There's access to the extensive network of trails here, and horses share the routes with runners, hikers, and mountain bikers.
Nearby, Wiro Park features a playground and barbeques, while Sun Vista Park is where local dog owners gather while their pups play in the off-leash area. San Elijo Lagoon Ecological Reserve is another popular recreation area among dog walkers. This wonderful natural reserve features seven miles of trails and offers a relaxing opportunity to commune with nature.
Although Olivenhain is a mainly residential neighborhood, folks don't have to travel far to experience a wide selection of shopping, dining, and entertainment. There are a couple of neighborhood bakeries along Rancho Santa Fe Road, a small collection of services, and a grocery store at Encinitas Boulevard and Manchester Avenue. Further west, Encinitas Village Shopping Center offers a wider selection of grocery stores, shops, and casual eateries. Vibrant and historic downtown Encinitas lies a short drive from Olivenhain, and it's here that locals come to browse unique boutiques and galleries, eat out in one of the fantastic independent restaurants, or catch a movie at the beloved La Paloma Theater.
Residents of Olivenhain are fiercely proud of their neighborhood and always seek to strengthen community ties. The historic Town Meeting Hall is the spiritual heart of the community, where events and celebrations are held throughout the year. The July 4th parade and picnic is a highlight of the annual calendar and brings everyone together. Likewise, summer movie nights offer a chance to cozy up under blankets and enjoy a glass of wine. Other fun-filled events include Oktoberfest, a Halloween haunted house, and a holiday craft fair.
