Potatoes, while not having the shortest shelf life, don't last indefinitely either. However, if you've got a surplus of spuds earmarked for your festive roasties, there's no rush to consume them all at once. With proper storage techniques, you can keep them fresh, avoiding those unwanted green spots or sprouts. A TikTok influencer has shared a clever tip to achieve just that. Potatoes with green patches or sprouts can be dangerous due to toxins, prompting many to discard them if they're unable to remove these parts. A popular TikTok video by Leen (@leen.bd) suggests that storing an apple alongside your potatoes can prevent them from turning bad. Apples are believed to prolong the life of potatoes because of the ethylene gas they release. This gas, which apples naturally produce as they ripen, is said to decelerate the metabolism of carbohydrates in potatoes and boost their respiration rate. Research published in the Journal of Food Science and Technology highlights this as crucial for keeping potatoes fresh, reports the Express . The hack was met with enthusiasm in the comments section, with one user declaring, "I've known about it for about one year. It changed my life! It works! " Nonetheless, this trick is specific to potatoes; placing apples near other fruits could speed up their ripening process and cause them to spoil. It's worth noting that sweet potatoes, unlike their white counterparts, are sensitive to the gas emitted by apples. Storing apples with sweet potatoes, often mistaken for yams, can lead to sprouting, which is best avoided. Food52 experts have shared that sweet potatoes can be kept fresh for an impressively long time - up to 12 months, in fact. They explained that while sweet potatoes shouldn't be stored in the fridge, they can surprisingly be frozen. Start with cooked sweet potatoes, which should be peeled and boiled until a fork can easily pierce them. Slice or mash the cooked sweet potatoes and add a small amount of freshly squeezed lemon juice to preserve their vibrant orange colour. The potatoes can then be placed in plastic bags and laid flat in the freezer for easy storage.big fish casino tips and tricks 。

Penn State's polarizing QB Drew Allar puts critics on mute and keeps winning games

Mother orca and children make 'grocery shopping' trip near downtown VancouverNEWCASTLE, England (AP) — Newcastle’s winning run in the English Premier League came to an abrupt end when goals from Thomas Souček and Aaron Wan-Bissaka gave West Ham a surprise 2-0 win at St. James’ Park on Monday. The Hammers rose into 14th place and the pressure on coach Julen Lopetegui was eased. The London club has been inconsistent all season and Monday’s win was just its fourth in 12 league games. West Ham was worth the win in the end but the three points came courtesy of slack defending by the home side. Emerson whipped in an out-swinging corner after 10 minutes and, with Newcastle defenders rooted to the spot, Souček stole in to nod home the opener. Then eight minutes into the second half, captain Jarrod Bowen found Wan-Bissaka in the penalty box and he was left unchallenged and had time to fire an angled drive past Nick Pope. Newcastle brought on Harvey Barnes, and then Callum Wilson returned from a long-term back injury to make his first appearance of the season but to no avail. The defeat ended a three-game winning streak for Newcastle and left the Saudi Arabia-owned club in ninth place, four points outside the top four. ___ AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer The Associated Press

The Eramet Grande Côte Mine 20 MWp solar and 11 MWh battery project will provide clean energy to meet 20% of the mine’s energy needs and reduce carbon emissions by 25,000 tonnes annually. The mining sector is one of the most energy intensive sectors. Big mines can be located close to the grid and hence have access to the grid. However, in some places, electricity from the grid may not always be available, especially in areas with weak and intermittent grids. A lot of mines also operate in remote areas far away from the grid and hence are fully off-grid. In both cases, mining companies generally have a fleet of large fossil fueled generators to ensure power uptime, and therefore mining companies often have a large diesel/heavy fuel oil bill as well. Traditionally, operators of these mines didn’t really have any other viable alternatives. However, this is starting to change. Technological advances in areas such as the production of higher efficiency solar panels, as well as advanced lithium-ion batteries, has resulted in these technologies becoming more readily available, and affordable. These technologies now also have a long track record as their deployment in large-scale projects continues to grow both in utility-scale applications as well as behind the meter. This has helped inject more confidence in the market as projects that include both solar PV and battery storage now offer a strong value proposition compared with the traditional fossil fuel powered backup generators. The main driver of this adoption is the significant operational cost reduction derived from adding these technologies to their operations, aided by the drastic drop in prices of solar panels and batteries over the past ten years. This has made it possible for these technologies to be competitive with traditional sources. JUWI South Africa, part of the international JUWI Group which develops solar, wind, and hybrid renewable energy solutions, says more mining companies in Africa and around the world are transitioning to renewable energy to take advantage of the benefits these technologies provide. According to Richard Doyle, Managing Director, JUWI South Africa, “this increased adoption of renewables in the mining sector is being driven by several benefits including reduced operational costs, price security (hedging of long-term energy price), increased energy reliability, and reduced emissions and environmental impact as mining firms have increasingly stringent ESG targets to meet.” For grid-tied solar PV projects without battery storage, utility-scale renewable energy is now much cheaper than conventional fossil-fuel based energy supplied by the grid. The latest mine to embark on this journey to adopt solar PV and battery storage is Eramet Grande Côte , a subsidiary of the French multinational mining and metals company Eramet, and South Africa’s JUWI Renewable Energies has reached financial close on a €30 million (ZAR 600 million) off-grid solar photovoltaic (PV) and battery storage solution for the mine in Diogo, Senegal. The 20 MWp solar and 11 MWh battery project will provide clean energy to meet 20% of the mine’s energy needs, reduce carbon emissions by 25,000 tonnes annually, and create over 100 jobs during its construction and maintenance phases. The off-grid hybrid installation, among the largest in Senegal, will reduce the mine’s reliance on heavy fuel oil, improve production stability, and align with Eramet’s global decarbonization strategy. The investment supports the Eramet Group’s Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) roadmap, which aims for a 40% reduction in CO 2 emissions by 2035 and carbon neutrality by 2050. In addition to driving sustainable mining, the project plays a crucial role in advancing Senegal’s clean energy transition, with the country aiming to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by around 7% by 2025. By leveraging JUWI’s expertise in off-grid solar and storage solutions, alongside its engineering capabilities for complex ground conditions, and Eramet Grande Côte and Eramet’s commitment to sustainability, the project sets a new benchmark for innovation in the mining sector. “Our investment in this solar power plant reflects Eramet Grande Côte’s and Eramet’s commitment to making the decarbonisation of our activities a top priority, in line with the global climate emergency, ” said Frederic Zanklan, CEO, Eramet Grande Côte. “The clean energy produced by this plant will significantly enhance Eramet Grande Côte’s environmental performance. Our clients will benefit from products with increased environmental value. As the first mine in Senegal to be ISO 50 001 and 14 001 certified, Eramet Grande Côte is taking another important step in addressing the climate challenges we all face.” “As part of our commitment to Africa’s energy transition, we’re thrilled to partner with Eramet Grande Côte on their first off-grid solar and storage project and to support Senegal’s ambitious carbon emissions goals,” said Richard Doyle, MD, JUWI Renewable Energies. “Sustainable mining technologies are crucial in reducing the environmental impact of industrial operations, especially as many African mining operations rely on hydrocarbon fuels due to the continent’s limited grid infrastructure. By integrating renewable energy and storage into mining, we reduce carbon footprints, improve operational efficiency, and strengthen long-term energy resilience. We’re proud to use JUWI’s experience in delivering hybrid energy solutions across Africa to help advance sustainable mining and Africa’s clean energy transition.” It’s great to see another large mine on the African continent adopting solar PV and battery storage. As the costs of solar and batteries continue to go down, co-location of large solar and batteries at these kinds of campuses and operations will become standard.
