This is as big as it gets in China's energy policy: An environmental inspection authorized by the Party Central Committee has been carried out at the National Energy Agency, and the final report is BRUTAL in calling out failure to rein in

 The NEA gets scolded for failing to control coal power capacity in air pollution priority areas, loosening the "traffic lights" for new coal power plants, not enforcing closure of old capacity when new is added, and for expansion of energy-intensive industry in the east.
Expect a new clampdown on coal power projects in the east, with suspensions or cancellations of already permitted projects, and particularly a new drive to control captive coal power plants.
On clean energy, the NEA has not sufficiently prioritized clean and low-carbon energy transformation in the draft energy law and electricity law revision.
The Administration has also failed to coordinate clean energy development to feed the long-distance transmission lines from west to east - 2 of the 14 lines only carried 1% clean energy. These verdicts should be a major boon to clean energy development.
Most damningly, the NEA is found to have ideologically deviated from Xi Jinping thought on ecology and environment. "Some comrades" think the most important thing is to ensure energy supply, and environmental requirements just increase costs and solutions aren't yet available.
It's not all bad news for coal - the inspection report also calls for speeding up coal power build in the western coal power bases & to increase imports of power from west to east. This will help with air pollution in the east but not with CO2 or overall air pollutant emissions.
As pointed out in the article above, this verdict makes it clear that energy supply and environmental goals are to have equal weight in China's energy policy.
My question through all of the bad news on the fossil fuel building spree has been where does the top leadership come down on this - did Xi Jinping make his climate pledges to greenwash the short-term increase in emissions or is he serious about turning the ship?
A move like this is authorized from the very top - so we have the first answer.
In terms of politics, this is completely reshuffling the power dynamics between environment ministry and economic planners. So far, energy and economic planning has steered the ship and environmental officials have been left to clean up in its wake. Not anymore.
The inspection team reported to the small leading group on environmental inspections, chaired by vice premier Han Zheng.
Remember the previous time that the issue got kicked up to this level - vice premier Zhang Gaoli driving the National Air Pollution Action Plan process in 2013, forcing provinces to agree to tough targets and measures.
My big expectation from the autumn's high-level meetings has been that the environmental ministry would be empowered to drive action through the "CO2 peaking action plan" they are preparing. This move shows they have the mandate to implement; now we need to see the ambition.
As always, worth seeing what @LiShuo_GP makes of this - great points

How to trade on Expiry day with Nifty straddle?
(System trading on Expiry)

Triple straddle is one of the best and accurate methods for expiry day

If nifty trading at 15720 then will sell three straddles above 50 points from ATM, below 50 points and ATM.

Ex.
Sell straddle 15700(ATM), 15650(ATM-50), 15750 (ATM+50)

Stoploss of 80% on every leg and run your trade till 3 PM

Once SL hit in any Leg just keep holding other leg till expiry with SL (Never or less chance to hit both SL on expiry day)

Trading timing at 9:20 the Morning

Santkumaras-The four adorable kids of the Universe.

The Kumaras r the four sages who roam the Universe as children from the Puranic texts of Hinduism named,Sanaka, Sanatana,Sanandana& Sanatkumara.They r described as the first mind-born creations &sons of the creator God Brahma.


Brahma,who had received the knowledge of Puranas from the Universal being(God Himself), imbibed this to his 4 Kumaras.
Sanat Kumaras then taught the Puranas to Narada.Narada transmitted it to Krishna Dwaipayana who in turn scripted them in monumental epic documents of 18 Puranas.

The Vishnu Purana is recorded in two parts,the Vishnu Purana & Naradiya Purana.The teachings of Sanaka of the Kumara brothers r contained in the Naradiya Purana which is also divided in two parts, the first part containing the teachings of Sanaka &second part,teachings of others.


Born from Brahma's mind,4 Kumars took lifelong vows of celibacy against their father's wishes.They r said to wander throughout materialistic &spiritualistic universe without any desire but with the aim to teach.All 4 brothers studied Vedas from their Childhood&travelled together.


The Bhagwata Purana lists the Kumaras among the 12 Mahajanas(great devotees or bhaktas) who although being eternally liberated souls from birth, still became attracted to the devotional service of Vishnu from their already enlightened state.

This is NONSENSE. The people who take photos with their books on instagram are known to be voracious readers who graciously take time to review books and recommend them to their followers. Part of their medium is to take elaborate, beautiful photos of books. Die mad, Guardian.

Cherthala Karthyayani Kshetram
#Alappuzha, Kerala
#KeralaTemples 🚩

Cherthala Karthyayani Temple Prathishta was done by Vilwamangalam Swamy. Chertala Pooram is very famous. Devi is Mangalya Dayini here removes obstacles relating to marriages. Sthala Puranam says that, once 👇


Vilwamangalam Swamiyar was passing this area after Prathista of Padmananbhaswamy Temple, he felt Devi chaitanyam and recognized as Karthyayani Devi. But Devi seeing Vilwamangalam went inside the pond. Swamy searched for Devi continously for 6 days and on 7th day Vilwamangalam


got hold of Devi's hair. Thus only Devi's head is Prathishta here. Devotees do Kozhi parathal ( offering cock) here as an offering to Karthyayani Devi.

Karthyayaniamme Sharanam
