When it comes to National Grid Corp. of the Philippines (NGCP), there's a lot of negative news about the firm being propagated to the public. But the parties spreading the bad news about the operator of the country's power grid make it a point not to give equal prominence to the firm's achievements since its privatized era began in 2009. And since practically no one asks for NGCP's side nowadays, Biz Buzz took the liberty of asking the firm for data about its performance over the last decade and a half.

Wood and paper-based disposable cutlery is seen as a greener option than plastic, but a Canterbury academic is warning it could actually present more of a threat when it comes to climate change. Dr Heon Park, Senior Lecturer in Chemical and Process Engineering at the University of Canterbury, is researching ways to make biodegradable plastic more eco-friendly. Photo credit: Matthew Joe. Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 12 - Responsible consumption and production. Dr Heon Park, a Senior Lecturer in Chemical and Process Engineering at Te Whare Wānanga o Waitaha | University of Canterbury, says while petroleum-based plastic is a long-term problem that causes pollution in our oceans and takes hundreds of years to break down, wooden cutlery and tableware made from bamboo, birch or paper, has a higher carbon footprint.

Date of sighting: 5-17-2022 Location of sighting: Undisclosed location Recorded by: US Navy Guys this is awesome. A US Navy pilot recorded a silver orb that was shooting past him. It looks like he had a camera on his helmet and when he turned, it caught just three frames with the UFO in it, the first frame, only half of it, but the second and third frames the whole UAP can be seen. Extraordinary and rare footage released by the US gov on their website. The video here I post, I edited, because the original only showed the UFO in the last 3 seconds, so I enlarged it by 5X, I slowed one part by 10X to see the orb, and slowed it more to 18X to see the orb.

China's state media has reported the country's foreign minister Qin Gang has been removed from office. The 57-year-old has not made public appearances for the last month – prompting speculation about his position. The foreign ministry previously cited health reasons for Mr Qin's absence, during which time China's top diplomat took on many of the foreign minister's duties. Wang Yi has replaced Mr Gang in the position.

A team of international experts has called for a new definition of menopause, more research and improved treatments following a comprehensive review published in the journal Cell . Led by Monash University Women's Health Research Program head Professor Susan Davis , the review summarised menopause knowledge, called for more research into its timeline and treatment, and encouraged individualised, holistic treatment that addressed symptoms and systemic body changes. "The road to menopause is not difficult for all, but for some, symptoms may be severe or even disabling and disruptive to work and family," the Australian, Italian and US-based authors wrote.
