Four foods that become toxic when stored in the refrigerator

Although the refrigerator keeps food fresh, some foods should not be stored in the refrigerator because they can become toxic. Doctor Dimple Yangda, who is a specialist in gut health, stated on Instagram that these foods are garlic, onion, ginger and rice and revealed the reasons why this is so. Garlic Garlic can become soft if stored in the refrigerator. "Never store garlic in the refrigerator because it starts to mold very quickly, and mold on garlic is actually linked to cancer," Yangda said, advising to store garlic in a dry, dark place. "Garlic has a low acidity, which makes it prone to the deposition of the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, which is one of the culprits of botulism," she warned. Onion Onion is a crop that is resistant to low temperatures. The expert explains: "When you put onions in the fridge, the starch starts to turn into sugar and mold starts to form." Many people make this mistake. Cut the head of the onion, use half...

The force of the wind

 In order to produce electricity, wind turbines are mostly used in wind power or wind energy. In comparison to burning fossil fuels, wind energy is a well-liked, environmentally friendly, renewable energy source. Wind energy has historically been used to power sails, windmills, and windpumps, but today it is primarily employed to produce electricity. Numerous separate wind turbines connected to the electrical power transmission network make up wind farms.

New onshore (on-land) wind farms are less expensive to build than new coal or gas facilities, but fossil fuel subsidies are impeding the growth of wind power. Compared to certain other power plants, onshore wind farms have a more noticeable visual influence on the terrain. Little onshore wind farms can add a small amount of power to the grid or supply remote off-grid areas with electricity. Offshore wind farms have less of an aesthetic impact and produce more energy per installed capacity with less variability. Offshore wind generation is growing, despite the fact that it is currently less prevalent and has greater construction and maintenance costs. Currently, around 10% of new installations are for offshore wind power.



Due to the variable nature of wind energy, power-management strategies are used to balance supply and demand. These strategies include the use of wind hybrid power systems, hydroelectric power, other dispatchable power sources, excess capacity, geographically dispersed turbines, power exporting and importation to nearby regions, and grid storage. A region may need to improve its system as the amount of wind energy grows. The electric-power network can be prepared for the predictable variations in production that take place thanks to weather forecasts.

Over 1800 TWh, or over 6% of global electricity and about 2% of global energy, came from wind energy in 2021. The capacity of installed wind power worldwide surpassed 800 GW after an addition of about 100 GW in 2021, primarily in China and the US. Analysts believe it needs to grow more quickly, by more than 1% of annual electricity generation, to help achieve the Paris Agreement's aims to reduce climate change.


The areas with the greatest potential for wind power are those in the upper northern and southern latitudes. In most areas, wind energy production is stronger at night and during the winter months when PV output is lower. Because of this, many nations can benefit from combining wind and solar electricity.

Oil prices rose above $75, with US stocks in focus

Oil prices rose above $75 in international markets on Friday, boosted by signs of a strengthening US economy and a sharp drop in inventories ahead of further supply cuts from Saudi Arabia.  On the London market, the price of a barrel for delivery in September was 82 cents higher in the afternoon than at the close of trading yesterday and amounted to $75.33. Barrels for August delivery traded 52 cents higher at $74.86. On the American market, the price of a barrel increased by 86 cents, to 70.72 dollars.  Traders were encouraged by slightly increased estimates of US economic growth in the first quarter and a sharp fall in inventories last week, by as much as 9.6 million barrels.  The US economy grew by 1.8% in the first quarter, according to the Commerce Department, compared to the same period last year, 0.2 percentage points stronger than previous estimates showed. At the end of 2022, it increased by 0.9 percent.  Prices were also supported by Saudi Arabia's an...

Trojan apps that take photos of users without permission, if you have them, delete them

  ESET antivirus experts have released a new list of Android messaging apps that track users and steal their information. These are apps from the Google Play Store and almost all of them look like regular messaging apps. However, behind the scenes they run a remote device access Trojan known as "VajraSpy" and are part of the "Patchwork APT" campaign, with the primary goal of spying on downloaders. These apps can steal your contacts, files, call history and messages, and some can even access your WhatsApp or Signal conversations, record phone calls or see what notifications you receive, the website PhoneArena" published post. The worst that has been discovered is that they can take pictures of users and record sound in the environment. They are primarily used in Pakistan and India, but it is possible to find them in other areas as well. If you accidentally came across them, skip them, and if you downloaded them, delete them. These are the Google Play Store apps ...

The global appetite for solar panels is exacerbating the silver shortage

Technological changes in the production of solar panels are increasing demand for silver, a phenomenon that is deepening a shortage in the supply of the precious metal, while there is limited opportunity on the horizon to secure additional mining, reports "Bloomberg". Silver, in paste form, is used for the conductive layer on the front and back of silicon solar cells. But the sector is already starting to produce more efficient variants of cells that use much more metal, and this will contribute to increasing the already growing consumption.   Solar power still represents a relatively small portion of total silver demand, but it is growing. According to a report by The Silver Institute, it will account for 14% of consumption this year, up from about 5% in 2014. Much of that growth is coming from China, which is expected to install more solar panels this year than the United States. Demand for silver from the solar industry is growing. Chart: Bloomberg Solar energy is “a great...
