Thermal and renewable power generation are the dominant sectors for the majority of the countries surveyed in the PPP Monitor.
ADB_MANILA, PHILIPPINES (23 November 2017) — Countries in Asia and the Pacific with developed financial markets, strong local financial institutions, and diverse financing resources are more likely to secure public-private partnership (PPP) projects, according to a new Asian Development Bank (ADB) report.
The Public-Private Partnership Monitor tracks the development of the PPP business environment across ADB member countries and provides insights for governments on structuring a sound environment for PPPs. This is the first edition of the report, which surveyed 9 countries in the region: Bangladesh, the People’s Republic of China (PRC), India, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, Thailand, and Viet Nam. It will be expanded to include additional countries in subsequent annual editions.

A dear friend of mine recently lost her mother due to a severe stroke. My friend has been studying abroad, far away from her Mom. When my friend came home, she had about a week with her Mom before the last day. My friend never thought it was the last time she could be with her Mom.
When my friend came back to study, I came over her place, say, to comfort her, but rather to listen and share her suffering. I was not sure that I could help her a bit but rather be suffered myself. I suffer when my friends suffer and when I can’t help their suffering, especially in life and death situations. I love my friend much, she is one of the purest friends of mine.

Tôi bắt đầu công việc phát hiện ra bê bối liên quan đến lãng phí nguồn thực phẩm toàn cầu khi lên 15 tuổi. Tôi đã mua một số lợn. Tôi sống ở vùng Sussex. Và bắt đầu cho chúng ăn bằng cái cách truyền thống nhất và thân thiện với môi trường nhất. Tôi đến phòng ăn ở trường và nói rằng,”Hãy đưa con thức ăn thừa mà bạn bè con đã bỏ đi.” Tôi đến chỗ người bán bánh mì gần nhà và xin những ổ bánh mì cũ. Tôi cũng đến chỗ người bán rau và cả người nông dân những người đã vứt bỏ khoai tây bởi vìchúng xấu hoặc có kích cỡ không phù hợp để bán ở siêu thị.
Jesus,
We come back again.
This time we should hold hands tight.
I know you always hold my hand,
although I sometimes turn my back to you.
I know you are always patient with me,
always kind to me. Continue reading Prayer 317

When China halted plans for more than 100 new coal-fired power plants this year, even as President Trump vowed to “bring back coal” in America, the contrast seemed to confirm Beijing’s new role as a leader in the fight against climate change.
Jesus,
Do you remember the first time we meet?
Yes,
the fresh morning,
warm sunlight,
sweet wind,
and you stand there. Continue reading Prayer 316

Venezuela is losing its last glacier

Venezuela used to have five glaciers. Today, only one remains. The last glacier in Venezuela, the Humboldt glacier, is about to disappear. “Reduced to an area of ten football pitches, a tenth of its size 30 years ago, it will be gone within a decade or two,” reports The Economist. Once Venezuela loses the Humbolt, it will become the first country in modern history to have lost all of its glaciers.
The glacier is expected to completely vanish in ten to twenty years, and scientists have expressed the importance of studying the glacier in its last stages. However, the political and economic crisis in Venezuela makes it difficult to study the glacier.
