The How To's

British schoolgirl Nora Quoirin starved  to death #dailymail.co.uk   Tragic teenager Nora Quiorin was alive in the Malaysian jungle for a week while rescue teams desperately searched for her before she died from intestinal damage likely caused by hunger and stress, police revealed today. The 15-year-old had no signs of physical or sexual violence on her body, pathologists said after a 12-hour autopsy, quashing fears that she could have been kidnapped and killed before her remains were dumped. But the post-mortem result will add further agony for parents Sebastien and Meabh, as it means she could have been found alive if search teams had got to her in time. Nora, who suffered from learning difficulties, was reported missing on August 4 during a family holiday to a Malaysian eco-resort after her parents woke to find a window to their apartment open and their daughter gone. #twitter feed #facebook read  more @

Targeting carbon emissions in #China Just three years ago, Hong Kong was generating 48 percent of its energy from coal and 27 percent from gas, while it imported the rest from mainland China. But as part of its commitment to the Paris Climate Change Agreement, the city is aiming to increase the use of natural #gas in its total energy mix for power generation to about 50 percent in 2020 and bring down its carbon footprint by up to 36 percent in 2030. CLP’s Black Point Power Station is playing a central role in reaching these targets. Black Point, located in Tuen Mun, Hong Kong, currently runs eight gas turbines in operation since 1996. When the plant entered into operation, CLP became the first electricity supplier in Hong Kong to employ natural gas for power generation, and since then, the use of natural gas has enabled CLP to reduce total emissions – even at a time when the power demand on the company’s system rose by 80 percent.

Home loans (also known as mortgages) are loans you take out to buy a home or land to build a home. Unless you are independently one of the “super rich,” or a strict devotee of the Dave Ramsey method, you probably can’t afford to just pay cash outright for a house or condo you’d actually like to live in. Rather than settling for a home with inadequate space or less-than-optimal amenities, most Americans get a mortgage to help them buy a house they actually like. Lenders (banks, credit unions, or independent brokers) and borrowers agree to basic terms, including a time Read on @ Steemit Click Here  Now
