Weather safety precautions are to be taken for the manpower and public in the hot summers and the impact is gradually increasing due to the climate change issues. please find some of the key aspects of weather safety precautions that are necessary to one and all: Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of fluids; drink about 500 ml before starting and 200 to 250 ml every 15 or 20 minutes. Avoid dehydrating liquids.  coffee, tea, and caffeinated soft drinks can hurt more than help. Wear protective clothing.  Lightweight, light-colored, and loose-fitting clothing helps protect against heat. Change clothing if it gets completely saturated. Schedule Outdoor Activities Carefully:  Try to limit your outdoor activity to when it’s coolest i.e. morning and evening hours. Rest often in shady areas so that your body has a chance to recover. Pace yourself.  Slow down and work at an even pace. Know your own limits and ability to work safe

25 Differences between Private Sector and Government sector Managers

It’s become a saying that government would be better if it were only run by private-sector managers using standard business practices. Now after compiling the activities of both government and private sector managers and with the insight of the Department of Energy we are able to point out 25 different reasons why government management and business management are not the same.   The size, dollar value, and complexity of many government programs exceed that in the private sector. The government has fewer measures of progress or success than the private sector, although that is changing as a result of the Government Performance Reform Act requirements. Spending on a program is not equivalent to progress. The private sector has profit as a clear-cut measure. Most individuals join private sector organizations with the expectation and hope that they will have an opportunity either to earn Significant amounts of money or to be train

From the evolution of man on earth from early man to the technological geek, oil has become the major source of energy which was extracted from different sources. Some of the key sources are as follows from 18th century to till data. Energy History and the evolution of mankind from Early Man to Modern Man    The evolution of energy took place from the 15th century with the gradual development of technology. As man is developing himself from the early man stage to the highly intelligent person on the planet several technological changes took place in the development of energy and power division.  With the following time you may understand the evolution of the energy sector in the world.    18th century Industrial revolution Use of energy relied only on muscular and biomass energy (main firewood used for heating and cooking purpose Work is done with the help of labors and animals Other sources of energy such as windmills, and watermills were present but the overall contributi

Why Wind Turbine Blades are hard to recycle?

 Wind turbines are the oldest technology that is developed since 1800 century for different purposes. The blades that are used made of different materials like wood, metal, polymers, etc. The installation of wind turbines with three blades in different parts of the world, for the production of electricity which is the major commodity in the industry 4.0 and further.  Old model wind turbines are 60 feet height which has the capacity to generate power to three modern houses. Whereas, modern wind turbines with 525 feet (onshore) and 850 feet (offshore), can supply power to 460 homes. The onshore wind turbine blades are 170 feet which is equal to 4 school buses. The lifespan of these blades is around 8 - 10 years. The current possibility to reuse old blades are: Shredding - further shredding - refining Cement factor - firing in Calens  Some of the reusable of wind turbine blades: Padisterin bridges Signal towers Fencing Playgrounds Public monument Bicycle shears All the above can be done w
