Enterprise Group (TSX: E, OTCQB : ETOLF) Earnings Exceeded Expectations And More to Come
When you finish reading this article, you may well kick yourself. The good news is that the Enterprise Group, Inc. (TSX: E) (OTCQB: ETOLF) growth is just getting started. While hindsight is 20/20, the future looks very bright for this consolidator of energy services (including specialized equipment rental to the energy/resource sector), including one of the first companies to build and release systems and plans to drastically lower GHG emissions of resource companies. (Opened in Apr 2022).

FY2022 Numbers
Revenue: CA$26.9m (up 44% from FY 2021).
Net income: CA$2.28m (up from CA$2.38m loss in FY 2021).
Net Profit margin: 8.5% (up from a net loss in FY 2021). The move to profitability was driven by higher revenue.
EPS: CA$0.05 (up from CA$0.049 loss in FY 2021).
Factors That Will Drive Future Growth. A Lot.
  • The oil and gas CAPEX market size was around USD 502 billion in 2020, and it is anticipated to reach around USD 942 billion in 2027, registering a CAGR of around 8.1% during the forecast period 2022-2027…Hence, to meet the strong global demand for crude oil and natural gas, more investment is required for exploration and production activities, which in turn promulgates the CAPEX in the oil and gas industry. (researchandmarkets.com)
  • **“**The BC government breached the Treaty Rights of the Blueberry River First Nations, says a new provincial court ruling that could have sweeping implications for oil, gas, forestry and hydroelectric development in the northeastern part of the province.” (Narwhal)
  • With a stellar reputation, personal relationships with nearly all the resource companies in Western Canada and a stated plan to work with clients to reduce and eventually eliminate GHG emissions, Enterprise is in an excellent and virtually peerless position to benefit from The Blueberry/BC Supreme Court Decision.
  • Enterprise’s senior officers, including CEO and President Leonard Jaroszuk, have embarked on a cross-country tour, visiting investors, financial professionals and others involved in the capital markets to emphasize the growth and potential of the Enterprise.
  • Given the rise in Capex spending and the growth of the resource industry as the ‘Green Economy’ gets underway over the next several years, Enterprise is in the ‘sweet’ spot.
  • The reality of energy production growth represents several things. First, as Green Tech develops, a growing supply of fossil fuels globally will be needed.
  • Resource companies and suppliers such as Enterprise Group will need to continue, with its peers, to create the most benign (and ever more relevant) GHG mitigation production technologies and processes.
  • Oil and Gas CAPEX spending growth over the following years also bodes exceptionally well for the oil and gas service sector. From resource technology company Schlumberger:
Bottom Line
When shareholders and investors dive into the Company’s advances, they will note the following.
  1. Enterprise’s client base constantly grows, including several Tier One companies added in 2022
  2. Uninterrupted annual Cash Flow; a portion used to buyback market shares
  3. Response to Evolution Power Projects has exceeded corporate expectations.
  4. Offer clients custom technologies to reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions.

2023.05.30 00:42 atooraya Does anyone have the Vinotemp 28 bottle dual wine cooler?

https://www.costco.com/vinotemp-28-bottle-wine-cooler-with-dual-zone-cooler-and-touch-screen-controls.product.100674323.html
This is in the email ad I got today. Wife and I joined a vineyard and they’re known for their Pinot noirs, Rose and Chardonnay (PNW). We get a case every 6 months, and wanted to invest in a wine fridge to store the case and I’ve heard a ton of complaints that many of these fridges advertise 28 or however many bottles, but the Pinot noir bottles are too big to fit properly.
Wanted to see if anyone has this cooler or anything from vinotemp. When I google search it, places like surlatable and Lowe’s sell it for more than double this price.

Avila Energy: A Special Situation Investment with Potential for a 1450% Return
Penny Queen pick 05.29.2023
TL:DR Avila is a profitable oil and gas company in Canada with preferred, North American rights to the Ener-Twin consumer power plants. This clean technology is projected to generate gross sales of up to $25 million in 2024. Avila has entered into a business combination agreement to uplist to the Nasdaq through the $INAQ SPAC. I place the value of Avila around 30 cents US without the SPAC. Completion of the SPAC could put the share value at 85 cents US.
Because I see the company as being undervalued, and because Avila would also have to pay a penalty to break the agreement, I see this special situation as less risky at this price point. As a reminder, the PQTF peak gains on the prior three special situation stocks have been 146%, 889% and 1370%, but had major issues that if played incorrectly, could have cost people a lot of money. As always, prior performance is not indicative of future performance. I do have a position and intend to do more purchasing and will continue to re-evaluate. As always trading is risky, this is not advice and I am not a financial advisor.
I have done my best to represent the facts as I know them, if you find any errors, please let me know: [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) I have also created a subreddit and will have a channel available in the Penny Queen Discord. XO, PQ
Avila Energy (CA: VIK, OTC: PTRVF), an established Canadian oil and gas producer, is on the verge of a potentially transformative merger that could bring immense rewards for its shareholders. The company has agreed to combine with Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC) Insight Acquisition (NYSE: INAQ).
The proposed transaction, as detailed at the link below, will allow for Avila to up-list onto the Nasdaq, enhance its ongoing carbon-neutral business strategy, and further strengthen the capitalization of the company with an expected combined entity market cap of over $190 Million.
This article will discuss the specifics of the deal, Avila's potential to diversify its revenue stream, and how it presents a rare special situation investment opportunity that could potentially lead to a total return of 1450%.
A Breakdown of the Deal
The Avila and Insight Acquisition merger is a complex one, but is potentially extremely lucrative for existing Avila shareholders. Under the agreement, Insight will continue from the State of Delaware to the Province of Alberta and acquire Avila in an amalgamation pursuant to a court-approved plan of arrangement under Alberta law.
According to the agreement, the fully diluted common shares of Avila, currently numbering 150,540,414, will be exchanged for 12,580,000 common shares of Insight Acquisition. This exchange ratio translates to about 11.97 shares of Avila for each share of Insight Acquisition.
Avila shareholders will own the following interest in the post-closing combined company:
100% Redemption (Proceeds retained from trust of US$ 1,250,000) 67.2% by Avila's shareholders;
50% Redemption (Proceeds retained from trust of US$15,781,215) 62.4% by Avila's shareholders;
0% Redemption (Proceeds retained from trust of US$29,062,430) 57.9% by Avila's shareholders.
At present, Avila shares trade at USD $0.0588 (5.88 cents), while Insight Acquisition shares trade at USD $10.23. However, given the merger and based on the exchange ratio, the post-merger price for each Avila share is projected to rise to around $0.855. This implies a staggering potential increase of up to 1450% for Avila shareholders, and forms the basis of the arbitrage opportunity that Avila presents as a special situation investment.
Avila Energy and Its Future
Looking beyond the merger, Avila Energy presents an interesting opportunity as a stand-alone company
Avila's strategic growth plan is divided into three phases:
  1. Upstream, where it plans to invest towards becoming a low-cost, carbon-neutral energy producer.
  2. Downstream, diversifying its revenue stream through the development of direct-to-consumer sales, aiming to boost demand, margins, and profitability.
  3. Providing customers with the option to convert to Avila’s developing hydrogen-fueled solutions, expected to be commercially available in 2027, as part of its Corporate Vision.
The company has a diversified and growing portfolio of 100%-owned and operated wells, three oil and natural gas processing facilities, 150,000 acres of leased exploration rights, and over 300 kms of gathering and sales pipelines.
The P&L displays robust numbers with $3.08 M in net revenue, more than 50% margins, with the majority of the revenue attributable to clean burning natural gas.
Avila currently has a 2P valuation of CAD $30.7 Million and a 1P valuation of CAD $7.8 Million with a current market cap of CAD $8.9 Million. As of year-end 2022, the company also had CAD $6.5 Million of cash, CAD $2.067 Million of Debt, and a positive shareholder equity of CAD $53.17 Million. These third-party audited reserves, as presented below from Deloitte, are a vast value relative to the company’s current market cap.
Reserves Highlights
Avila Energy’s reserves on a Proven + Probable basis (2P) for the Company is 5,256,100 BOE valued at CAD$30.734 million based on a net present value discounted 10% before income taxes (NPV10% BT).
The CAD $30.734 million is an estimate of future cash flows and do not necessarily represent fair market value and is supported by a sustainable capital program of CAD $10.432 million for proved reserves and CAD $17.517 million for proved plus probable reserves.

Clean Energy Future
Moreover, beyond being a traditional oil company, Avila is set to launch its “Vertically Integrated Energy Business, through its partnership with MTT. Supported by over a decade of R&D, including Avila's equity investment in Micro Turbine Technology (MTT), this venture promises to leverage innovative cleantech. Avila is aiming to deliver its first direct-to-consumer energy sales in North America in 2023. It also is targeting net-zero tier 3 (scope 3) CO2 emission energy for consumers by 2027.
The EnerTwin is a small, environmentally friendly power plant that simultaneously produces heat and electricity using the smallest gas turbine in the world. It runs on natural gas, LPG, biomethane, and hydrogen mixes, and thereby facilitates the energy transition to a low-carbon future in buildings.
Avila Energy says it has purchased a license for the manufacturing and marketing of the EnerTwin in the North American market. Beginning in 2026, Avila plans to sell 50,000 EnerTwin systems in North America as part of an integrated offering that also includes the provision of energy to their end customers.
To achieve this goal, the company has laid out the following timeline:
  1. 2nd quarter of 2023 the preparation and filing of the application for the Canadian Standards Association (“CSA”) and Underwriter Laboratories (“UL”) Certifications for the EnerTwin in North America, based on past applications for CSA approval of KIWA certified equipment. The Company has estimated that this process is anticipated to 10-12 months in duration. 1st half of 2023 the commencement of pre-sales and servicing of the EnerTwin that are conditional on the Company attaining CSA and UL approval. In the event that the CSA and UL approval is not attained, the sales would be refunded to customers.
  2. The development of the Company’s manufacturing of the EnerTwin, including the assembly or 3rd part manufactured subassemblies and the final testing prior to shipping to the customer. The ramp up of this manufacturing facility is to be completed in parallel to the CSA approval, with the first 100 installations being demonstration installations to be replace by CSA approved equipment within targeted markets in North America utilizing the EnerTwin as KIWA Certified equipment.
  3. Initial contracts are anticipated to be executed 3 months after receiving CSA Certification.
The Company’s Vertically Integrated Energy Business is based on the following assumptions:
a) Power, Heat, Cooling and Daily Transportation in one invoice;
b) Reduce Consumers Carbon footprint by 40% and save the consumer money;
c) Mitigates concern for brownouts and protection from increasing transmission fees;
d) Fixed Contract plus only an annual inflation adjustment; and
e) Capacity to transition to Hydrogen in the future.
The Company’s long-term goal is to allocate a portion of its natural gas production to its newly acquired customers as a source of fuel with the cost of energy being billed to the customer at a fixed price plus an annual inflation rate adjustment. The Company’s strategy is to include the delivery of fuel and the maintenance, under long-term contracts that offers price stability. The Company plans to continue to still sell their current suite of customers in addition to the newly acquired customers from the Vertically Integrated Business.
The Company assumes early market development will qualify for government subsidies both in Canada and the United States as an efficient upgrade and or substitute for current heating and cooling. For example, the Company anticipates that the EnerTwin will qualify under the existing Canadian Greener Homes Program which will offer rebates on eligible home retrofits.
Conclusion: A Rare Opportunity
Special situation investments like Avila's proposed SPAC up listing do not come often. They offer a chance for significant potential returns but are also complex and require a deep understanding of the specifics of the deal. For Avila shareholders, the potential upside of 1450% presents a remarkable opportunity. However, potential investors should conduct their own research and due diligence or consult with a financial advisor before making any decisions. With Avila's strong business foundation, ambitious future plans, and the exciting prospect of its up listing through the merger with Insight Acquisition, the future indeed looks bright.

Clean Energy Future
Moreover, beyond being a traditional oil company, Avila is set to launch its “Vertically Integrated Energy Business, through its partnership with MTT. Supported by over a decade of R&D, including Avila's equity investment in Micro Turbine Technology (MTT), this venture promises to leverage innovative cleantech. Avila is aiming to deliver its first direct-to-consumer energy sales in North America in 2023. It also is targeting net-zero tier 3 (scope 3) CO2 emission energy for consumers by 2027.
The EnerTwin is a small, environmentally friendly power plant that simultaneously produces heat and electricity using the smallest gas turbine in the world. It runs on natural gas, LPG, biomethane, and hydrogen mixes, and thereby facilitates the energy transition to a low-carbon future in buildings.
Avila Energy says it has purchased a license for the manufacturing and marketing of the EnerTwin in the North American market. Beginning in 2026, Avila plans to sell 50,000 EnerTwin systems in North America as part of an integrated offering that also includes the provision of energy to their end customers.
To achieve this goal, the company has laid out the following timeline:
1) 2nd quarter of 2023 the preparation and filing of the application for the Canadian Standards Association (“CSA”) and Underwriter Laboratories (“UL”) Certifications for the EnerTwin in North America, based on past applications for CSA approval of KIWA certified equipment. The Company has estimated that this process is anticipated to 10-12 months in duration. 1st half of 2023 the commencement of pre-sales and servicing of the EnerTwin that are conditional on the Company attaining CSA and UL approval. In the event that the CSA and UL approval is not attained, the sales would be refunded to customers.
2) The development of the Company’s manufacturing of the EnerTwin, including the assembly or 3rd part manufactured subassemblies and the final testing prior to shipping to the customer. The ramp up of this manufacturing facility is to be completed in parallel to the CSA approval, with the first 100 installations being demonstration installations to be replace by CSA approved equipment within targeted markets in North America utilizing the EnerTwin as KIWA Certified equipment.
3) Initial contracts are anticipated to be executed 3 months after receiving CSA Certification.
The Company’s Vertically Integrated Energy Business is based on the following assumptions:
a) Power, Heat, Cooling and Daily Transportation in one invoice;
b) Reduce Consumers Carbon footprint by 40% and save the consumer money;
c) Mitigates concern for brownouts and protection from increasing transmission fees;
d) Fixed Contract plus only an annual inflation adjustment; and
e) Capacity to transition to Hydrogen in the future.
The Company’s long-term goal is to allocate a portion of its natural gas production to its newly acquired customers as a source of fuel with the cost of energy being billed to the customer at a fixed price plus an annual inflation rate adjustment. The Company’s strategy is to include the delivery of fuel and the maintenance, under long-term contracts that offers price stability. The Company plans to continue to still sell their current suite of customers in addition to the newly acquired customers from the Vertically Integrated Business.
The Company assumes early market development will qualify for government subsidies both in Canada and the United States as an efficient upgrade and or substitute for current heating and cooling. For example, the Company anticipates that the EnerTwin will qualify under the existing Canadian Greener Homes Program which will offer rebates on eligible home retrofits.
Conclusion: A Rare Opportunity
Special situation investments like Avila's proposed SPAC up listing do not come often. They offer a chance for significant potential returns but are also complex and require a deep understanding of the specifics of the deal. For Avila shareholders, the potential upside of 1450% presents a remarkable opportunity. However, potential investors should conduct their own research and due diligence or consult with a financial advisor before making any decisions. With Avila's strong business foundation, ambitious future plans, and the exciting prospect of its up listing through the merger with Insight Acquisition, the future indeed looks bright.

2023.05.30 00:35 Happycamperagain Battery problem with F150 lariat

I have a battery issue with my Tow vehicle. It tows fine but I really draws down the battery. We had a couple of rough starts at a gas station and I am not sure what to do about it. For the record the trip was less than 3 hours away so we were not pulling all day.
RV is 24 door Forest River Surveyor
Tow vehicle is a 2019 F150 Lariat with a V8. 2x4 version
Battery is 18 months old.
Power to camper was turned off so it was not drawing from the tow vehicle except for lights.
I have no issues towing since we pull mostly in flatlands. But the weight is drawing down the battery so much that I am worried that I’ll get stranded. A friend recommended that I replace the alternator with a more powerful one and then get a bigger battery. Wife said we need a different camper. I am wondering if I really just need a different tow vehicle. But have you seen the prices of vehicles lately? I really don’t want to have to sell a kidney or a dependent for a stronger vehicle. help!!!

2023.05.29 23:40 Firefly-Fan-7 A relaxing life (Short story)

I'm taking a course on creative writing, and came up with this short story. Hope you like it.

A relaxing life

I wake up to the ship alarms, “Warning. Hull integrity at twenty percent.”
Through the canopy I can only see the grey rigged surface of a massive asteroid. It’s blocking my entire field of view, some of its surface glowing incandescent. I turn off the mining laser and I pull the thrusters on full reverse, watching the asteroid moving slowly away from me, rotating on the horizontal axis. It has a huge protuberance on the left, and it’s getting closer to the left side of my ship. If I can’t get out of its reach, it’s going to hit me again.
This would be easier in a smaller and faster ship, but in a Type-9 this was almost impossible. Being 100 meters wide and long, piloting this ship is like piloting your own city block. I roll the ship to the left, trying to bring the left part of the ship down and evade the asteroid’s arm. I avoid a direct hit, but I’m not fast enough and we take a glancing blow. I can feel the soft tremor when the protuberance hits the ship, “Warning. Hull integrity at fifteen percent.”
The ship is as fast as it could be on reverse gear. We slowly get out of immediate danger, the massive asteroid still in front of us but no longer blocking my view. The asteroid sea surrounds us. Left, right, up, and down, there are asteroids of every size and shape in all directions. I feel a sudden punch behind me as the ship hits another asteroid, this time on our back, “Warning. Hull integrity at six percent.” I curse myself and push the throttle a bit forward, parking the ship between the two asteroids. Now I’m fully awake.
Laser mining was supposed to be relaxing and safe. Sometimes it became even too relaxing. This was not the first time that I fell asleep while mining, but it was the first time that I hammer the ship into an asteroid in the process. And without the shields, the hull took all the impact. Cmdr. Peta was surprised when I said that I ditched the shields in my mining ship to save internal space, which allowed me to get more cargo. He will find it funny that I almost blow the ship while mining alone in a desert ring.
I didn’t like to hunt anymore, so I left my bounty hunting days behind me. No more boosting the agile Fer-de-Lance, the favorite ship of bounty hunters, inside a station like an irresponsible teenager, just to hear that low-frequency hum, cut by high-pitched turbine-like whine that anticipates the fierce roar and the huge acceleration of the ship, while you maneuver it gracefully through the station entrance that resemble so much a mail slot, getting a warning from the authorities for dangerous piloting. No, the Type-9 is a massive brick that requires patience, concentration, and attention to detail. Piloting this inside a mining asteroid ring requires some kind of humble respect for the massiveness of the objects involved. I like this.
I begin to assess the situation. My cargo was at 90 percent capacity. I push away the temptation to keep mining to reach 100 percent. With only six percent of hull integrity, even the slightest hit would tear us apart. If I had put even a small capacity shield, I would probably be carrying roughly the same amount of cargo, but without the danger of getting the ship destroyed. The irony.
I think that whatever course of action, it is best to leave the ring for now. I slowly push the throttle forward and pitch the ship upwards, dodging the asteroids. We get out, my field of view expanding to contemplate the white planetary ring, reflecting the distant star’s light. It’s like a peaceful wide road, going straight for millions of kilometers, until it turns right and disappears behind the light-purple gas giant that it’s orbiting.
I make a cup of coffee, stretch my legs, and start looking for stations with good selling prices. I find one, only one jump away, in a high population system. In other words, risk of pirates. Maybe the system has good security. I come back to my chair, “Sorry girl,” I said, while checking the controllers. “We’ll arrive in a station in no time, you’re getting repaired and will be as good as new, how about that?” I engage the Frame Shift Drive, and we jump to the station’s star system. We’re now only a couple hundreds light-seconds away from the station, traversing in supercruise mode. In normal space this would take months, but in supercruise it’s a matter of minutes.
The station is just a few light-seconds away when I notice two ships behind us, getting closer. The familiar acute noise announces the interdiction, revealing that another ship is trying to get me out of supercruise. I concede to the interdiction, preventing my FSD to overload, thus making reboot faster. When we drop into normal space we are soon followed by a Python ship, and I can see it aiming at us. The pilot opens a communication channel, “Give me some of your cargo or this gets real interesting.” These guys don’t even bother to type the messages themselves; it is always this cold copy-paste communications. His friend doesn’t drop by our location for any reason. If I had shields, I could endure some shots while the hyperdrive charges and boost away. But I look at the bottom right panel, showing the hull integrity “6%”. Any shot and we’re blown to pieces. The best option is to comply.
I start to ditch the results of my honest work to this douchebag, thinking about the time that I spent in the asteroid ring. At least if the ship survives, I won’t have to buy another one, with all the right pieces, and start anew. The truth is that the ship is worth far more than this single cargo. A few moments later two Federal Assault Ships drop to normal space, “This is system security, please comply.” The battle between them and the pirate starts soon after that. Great, now I’m in the middle of a gunfight.
I hold the throttle and look at my cargo floating in space, abandoned by the pirate. The other ships are busy fighting, and I still have some collector limpets. I shouldn’t be this greedy, but I open the cargo hatch and release all my limpets, recollecting my hard-earned materials. The three ships pass beside us, and I hope that we’re not hit by mistake. When we are almost finished picking up all the materials, another ship drops to normal space. The pirate’s friend with another Python. I close the cargo hatch, engage the FSD, push the throttle all the way forward, and activate the engine’s boost. The deep rumble and the throaty roar announcing that the ship is using its full power, making the hull vibrate. I’m not betting on those cops now. I shout aloud in celebration when the hyperdrive gets us into supercruise. Take that Cmdr. Peta, who needs a shield now?
We get out of supercruise at the station location, the massive structure always rotating to provide artificial gravity. I ask for dock authorization, which they grant automatically. I’m hovering my finger on the panel, almost turning the docking computer on. The docking computer can save a lot of work and, nine out of ten times, lands the ship safely. But sometimes it miscalculates the station’s rotation and grazes the Type-9 on the mail slot. This is usually not a problem, but with only six percent of hull integrity I’m not taking any chances.
I take manual control and carefully pilot the ship to the station’s entrance. When we’re right in front of it I synchronize our rotation to the station’s, adjusting it every second. Getting a one hundred meters city block through this portal is not an easy task. I can already see the station’s interior, the two-kilometer-wide hollow cylinder. The internal surface is filled with spaceports, highways, and even leisure parks.
We’re halfway through the gate, entering the internal atmosphere when I hear the familiar low-frequency hum, cut by high-pitched turbine-like whine. I look forward and see a Fer-de-Lance boosting directly towards me. The pilot, probably a teenager, didn’t bother to check which ship was entering the station. Any other ship and he could pass beside us, but the Type-9 takes almost the entirety of the mail slot. He hammers us, his shield absorbing the hit, but to my shieldless ship this was the final blow.
I’m ejected, propelled into the station’s atmosphere, flying away from my ship. I turn myself around, floating alone inside the station, just to watch my ship exploding with hours of mining work and hundreds of millions in equipment.
I try to chuckle, thinking that Cmdr. Peta is going to laugh at this. Next time I’ll use a shield.

Memorial weekend brisket - learning each time
Fourth attempt at a brisket. Costco choice, ten pounds, minimal trim and s/p plus a homemade spice rub. Started at midnight on low on the recteq bullseye pellet grill, wrapped at 165, ten hours later, in butcher paper and foil boat the bottom to keep the juices in. Pulled it at 203 and rested in the cooler for 4 hours before serving at 140 degrees.
Friends were very complimentary, I felt it was a little dry and it didn't quite flop on the finger when bouncing a slice. The quest for great brisket continues..

2023.05.29 23:32 Vanguard_CK3 [Econ] French Company Veolia Awarded Multiple Contracts in Yemen

With the recent funding from China, Yemen has been actively investing in water infrastructure, including water treatment plants and desalination facilities, to address its water needs. The plan is to increase from an average of 140 cubic meters per year per Yemeni up to 1,000 cubic meters per year, the current middle eastern average within a 5 year time frame.
Desalination units with a combined rating of less than 1500 cubic meters per day for the main purpose of supplying process water and food grade quality distillate for the LNG plant in Balhaf is undergoing major expansion. Plans are now underway to increase capacity up to 10,000 cubic meters per day to supply water, which according to official reports will be used for a upcoming fertilizer complex. Another new desalination unit with a capacity of 25,000 cubic meters per day will also be a part of a contract for the installation of a new coke calcining plant at al Hudaydah. Half of produced water will be used at the plant whilst the other half will be pumped into the grid. Just a few kilometers south at the historic city of Mocha, a desalination plant with a capacity of 6,000 cubic meter per day will be used for the electrical power plant. These new plants will help fight the depletion of the Yemen's limited groundwater resources.
Scattered across the oilfields of Ma'rib and Wadi Masila, ground water wells are drilled and many local community contractors have set up joint venture companies are awarded long term contracts to provide reverse osmosis water treatment plant operation services to cater to the Oil and Gas operator and contractors as per the prices of oil increases demand which in turn causes prices of water treated for industrial purposes price hike at the right time for businesses to ensure profits within a short period of time.
Currently there are 32 wastewater treatment plants in Yemen that are used to recover biogas, biosolids and Water. Most of the expansion projects will focus on the capital city of Sana'a, Taizz and Ibb regions, which will boost the number up to 50 wastewater treatment plants serving difference functions and utilizing advanced technologies for more efficient recovery. Waste management company Veolia are now awarded long term contracts within the territories of Sana'a capital city, upon which after 1 year shall expand onto other regions as an expansion of their scope in the renewal stage after meeting contractual obligations and exceeding their spending on in country value and corporate social responsibilities.
The authorities will now take measures to reduce non-revenue water by adopting a preventive maintenance mindset, managing pressure in the distribution system and implementation of water metering & billing using ultrasonic devices. Standards for water tankers are also being set whereby all drivers will be required to undergo regular inspections and meet hygiene requirements for permits to supply potable drinking water. Water pipelines transporting water across country from the coast to the mountains are underway to incorporate a fully connected water grid system. Chinese Consultants have been hired by the authorities to oversee the execution of these projects.

Cheapest New Toyota Is 1 of the World’s Best-Selling Cars

https://preview.redd.it/f4joqc0lnq1b1.png?width=1200&format=png&auto=webp&s=e8077b9ae2131757b41bf2d9ea2f459943b9c490
Toyota has some of the most affordable cars available — and the cheapest one of all is the 2023 Toyota Corolla compact car. Available in sedan and hatchback versions, the Corolla is an excellent choice for budget-minded car shoppers. On top of that, the Corolla is one of the best-selling cars in the world.

2023 Toyota Corolla is the cheapest new Toyota car

With a starting price of $21,550 MSRP for the Sedan and $23,005 MSRP for the Hatchback, the 2023 Toyota Corolla is the cheapest new Toyota car in the United States. Following the Corolla, the next most affordable car in the Toyota lineup is the crossover SUV version of the Corolla, the 2023 Corolla Cross. It starts at $23,060 MSRP.

Here are the 10 cheapest new Toyota models:

2023 Toyota Corolla Sedan: $21,550 MSRP
2023 Toyota Corolla Hatchback: $23,005 MSRP
2023 Toyota Corolla Cross: $23,060 MSRP
2023 Toyota C-HR: TBD (2022 C-HR: $24,280 MSRP)
2023 Toyota Camry: $26,220 MSRP
2023 Toyota Prius: $27,450 MSRP
2023 Toyota Tacoma: $27,750 MSRP
2023 Toyota RAV4: $27,975 MSRP
2023 Toyota GR86: $28,400 MSRP
2023 Toyota Prius Prime: TBD (2022 Prius Prime: $28,770 MSRP)

While the 2023 Corolla is the cheapest Toyota model, as you can see, there are quite a few affordable vehicles from the Japanese automaker. You’d be hard-pressed to find another automaker that offers so many new cars with an MSRP below $30,000.

The Toyota Corolla is second only to the RAV4 as the world’s best-selling car

For many years, the Toyota Corolla was the best-selling car in the world. In 2021, though, the Toyota RAV4 supplanted the Corolla as the best-selling model. However, the sales total of the Corolla was still very high, for it took the second spot.

Here are the world’s 10 best-selling cars, as detailed by IOL:

Toyota RAV4: 1,132,000 units
Toyota Corolla: 1,104,000 units
Honda CR-V: 903,000 units
Nissan Sentra: 693,000 units
Toyota Camry: 681,000 units
Honda HR-V: 670,000 units
Ford F-150: 562,000 units
Toyota Hilux: 549,000 units
Tesla Model 3: 508,000 units
Honda Accord: 481,000 units
Toyota dominates the list of best-selling cars. Along with the Corolla and RAV4, the Camry midsize sedan and Hilux midsize pickup truck are in the top 10. The Camry took the fifth spot, while the Hilux placed eighth.

Why is the Corolla so popular?

In an age when sedans are dwindling in popularity, how does the Toyota Corolla buck this trend to be one of the best-selling cars in the world? Why is the Corolla so popular? For one, not only is the Corolla the cheapest Toyota model, but it’s also one of the most affordable vehicles in its class. Additionally, with its many standard features, the Corolla provides excellent value.

Also, the Corolla is very efficient. The fully gas-powered 2023 Corolla has an estimated gas mileage of up to 31 city/40 highway mpg, while the Corolla Hybrid has a fuel economy of up to 53 city/46 highway mpg.

Additionally, the Corolla is a reliable vehicle. It has a much-deserved reputation for durability and longevity. When properly maintained, a Corolla can last over 10 years. Also, in some cases, Corolla models have lasted over 300,000 miles. Plus, it has a good resale value.

Furthermore, the Corolla is a safe car. It comes standard with many safety and driving assistance technologies. Also, it earned the coveted IIHS Top Safety Pick+ award, the highest safety rating from IIHS.

Another contributing factor is the Corolla’s wide availability in most countries around the world. While the sales of some cars are limited to only one country or a small handful of markets, the Corolla is sold nearly everywhere.

The 2023 Toyota Corolla is the cheapest new Toyota model — and second only to the RAV4 as the world’s best-selling car. Given all that the Corolla has going for it, there’s no reason to think that the popularity of the Corolla won’t continue.

2023.05.29 23:06 ArazoII Death of a Spaceman's GPU

So, last November I bought an entry level gpu to get into star citizen. It was a bare minimum requirement buy. (RTX 2060). Over the past few months it's been working ok running at 1080 because you cant get much more than that. Definitely not the best. Seemed like after each gpu update I'd have more and more issues and it would perform less each time. People would tell me it's my rig because it was and older setup. So I spent some money and upgraded my board cpu and memory and everything was good. I logged many many hours in the ptu and pu with some friends having fun. Fast forward to the last day of Invictus out of nowhere it started Fram dropping like crazy. From around 60 fps to 0 then back up. Almost like waves every few seconds it would just freeze and come back. It was towards the end of the night so I decided to call it. Thinking the next day is defence con and I'd just wait til then because that's what I have been really waiting for. I really wanted to get a hold of a vulture and do some salvage missions. We'll, come the next day I turn on my computer and got nothing from the screen. Nothing. Just a power on no input on my screen. I checked the cables. Tried different ones. Even tried the different ports. Nothing. So begrudgingly I plugged into the motherboard and restarted. There it was. Working again. I could see my desktop again. I went into device manager and my card was there. It was reading like it should just no output. I thought to myself "great, it's dead" I tried updating bios, reinstalling drivers and tried different pcie ports. I got nothing. So here I am, sitting looking at a game I can't play any farther than sitting in a room at spawn. Looking like an old 1920s film stuttering away around 1-3 fps. "Just go buy another one." *sad, lol. Coming into summer time in the desert , my electric bill is about to be almost triple. My income has been cut by almost $300 a month for some bs that I have no control over. It seems like everything is catching up to me all at the same time. EVERYTHING has gone up in price. From gas and food to utilities and insurances. Unfortunately it doesn't look like I will be replacing it anytime soon. So, for now, my poor spaceman will be living out his foreseeable existence out at Beautiful Glen Station. Sitting in his hab, knowing an ORIGIN 325 is sitting in the hangar, not able to take him home. Not knowing when or if he will ever leave. Let this be a lesson to all that read this. No matter what your fiscal situation. Save up if you have to and think twice before making a purchase. And never ever buy a used gpu.

2023.05.29 22:55 throwaway_yiiiiikes Carpooling to Red Rocks on the 7th

Is anyone going to the King Gizzard concert on the 7th interested in carpooling to Red Rocks? I don't have a car, and the last time I took the shuttle most of the good seats at Red Rocks were taken. I'd of course split the gas price with you! I'm staying near Union Station, but I can get to where you are as long as it's somewhat close to a bus route.

2023.05.29 22:49 toxicbitcx My life should not be threatened for $18 an hour.

I loved my job and I'm sad that I had to quit. All names are made up but are based off of real people and it was a 24hr store where I worked.
I started CVS back in November 2022 as Pharmacy Technician, getting paid $18.00 an hour in the East Coast. I was 19(FTM) living with my partner in the state over from where I was hired. It wasn't too much of a drive, just 25 minutes. My coworkers were the kindest, and so were many customers...
At the time we were under Jane Doe's care as she was the pharmacy manager. She hired about three other technicians who started before me, all hired for Full-Time. Jane planned on leaving CVS so she hired a pseudo-manager who worked for CVS prior to his other job, John Doe.
My interview was held upstairs in the storage closet while sitting on a cooler and Jane Doe sitting on a case of Monster, so I don't know what I expected, lol. I was warned in the interview that customers could get very upset, and I told her I understood what I was getting into and that I'm thick-skinned (which I very much am.)
Fast forward a month or so and I'm working about 25-30hours a week, alongside being a part-time package handler at a facility for the holidays for some extra money. I was also a student during this time.
The first time I cried at my job was in December. A customer and her partner came in at 10pm being inappropriate with her and her husband making jokes about how they're gonna do sexual stuff to each other later while I was trying to get her insulin out of QT... It ended up resulting in the wife asking if I was queer, to which I said I'm in a queer relationship. She then asked if I was trans and that she could tell I was before I could even say anything. I was not out to my coworkers as FTM (at the time there was only the Pharmacist and another tech there) and this made me very upset to be outed in this way at my place of work. I am a very cis-passing person (not that it really matters), so I wanted to stay stealth at this job. It was my first job fully identifying as a man, as I had Top Surgery in August and have been on testosterone for a few years.
I wanted to just be seen as a man and keep my personal life at home, not at work.
Having this be the worst experience I've had, I ended up crying in the bathroom and taking my 30 minute break right then and there. This being said, nothing else working at CVS had phased me up until these past three months.
Being the only buff kind of guy at my job, it was my duty to be the bouncer. I would kick people out of they were being inappropriate, rude, or straight up unprofessional. This one customer threatened to key my car, while another customer had threatened to shoot me on two separate occasions. I came home crying to my partner about these instances. For $18 an hour, my life should not be threatened.
I talked to my lead pharmacy tech about this at the time, but there was nothing that could be done because nothing happened. I used to be a manager prior to this job, so hearing this didn't make any sense to me. My last job would take action immediately, regardless if it happened or not because it was a threat. I should've gone to HR, but I know personally CVS HR does not care unless a Lead PT or a Pharmacist calls it in.
I grew to hate my job after this because I was scared. I used to love going in, helping to fill prescriptions and helping families out with their medications. I would cut out the company stickers that were given to us so it'd just be the smiley face without the "customers like you make us happy" shit on it. My favorite ones were the little bear stickers that said "We hope you feel better!" to give out to the kids. I'd let them choose, too! Or the really sweet older ladies who would come in a give me treats from the Costco to try through drive-thru, lol.
My hours started to get cut, and so would my coworkers. Once Jane Doe left, John Doe finally came in. He did make many things better, but with the company-wide hourly cut, it became ridiculous. I started with 25-30hour weeks, then got down to only 14 hour weeks, with coworkers (who weren't the lead PT or Pharm on duty) calling me in to help. Saturdays were the worst because it was just me, another tech, and a pharmacist who usually didn't work at that store. We would get so busy and it would stress me out so much but there was never any extra help.
This ended up with my pharmacist suggesting I travel around for work... I live in a whole different state and the CVS's that needed help were well over an hour away. I did this a couple of times, but it just wasn't worth it because of gas. For every store I was asked to go to, I would give it to my other coworker who was hired around the same time I was because he was only getting six hours a week!
With the hour cuts and the threats, my partner and I decided it just wasn't worth it for me to work there anymore. I miss my coworkers and my customers, but I have no desire to associate with that store anymore. I didn't even put a two weeks notice in, I just quit over text.
I didn't want to air my dirty laundry out, but does anyone else have similar experiences with CVS? Do you think I'm still able to go to HR about the threats, or is it not even worth it since I'm no longer an employee?
I'll answer any asked questions too. :)

2023.05.29 22:39 ieatmakeup Please comfort me about my decision

So the wife and I got a new entertainment center. It's big. Like, you could fit an 85 incher on this thing. So we need to upgrade from our old Sony 46inch from like 10 years ago. So I find this sub and start my research. I realize pretty quick that OLED at the size I want (65-75) is out of budget. But I also realize that I don't want to cheap out on some ONN or something. So I know I want a 120 refresh rate and FALD and I land on the Sony X90K. It seems like a good compromise and I feel like the 65inch price at Costco is reasonable ($1099) This whole time, my wife is telling me to just get a TV. She's making suggestions when she sees an ad or something, but I tell her I know what I want. She brings up price every now and then, but doesn't give any hard number that I'm not allowed to hit. Again, I think $1099 is very reasonable for what we're getting.
Fastforward to yesterday and having repeatedly confirmed my decision with myself to purchase the Sony. I call up Costco and confirm they have 10 in stock. Awesome, I'm getting a new TV! So we pile in the truck and make the 30 minute drive. I wheel my flatbed cart over to the TV's and find the Sony. And as I start to move it to the cart, my wife says, 'No, are you serious?! We're not spending that much on a TV'
I'm heartbroken. I don't know how to respond. I try to reason with her. It's a good price for what you're getting. The cheaper one's won't perform as well. Etc. She's having none of it. 'This is why we have conversations like this before we get to the store', she says. I'm fuming. At this point, I decide we should just move the 46 Sony back to the living room and not get one. I abandon the cart and make towards the exit with my kids. She calls me and says to come back to the TV's because the Costco guy sold her on another one. He says you don't need FALD if you're not hooking up to a 4k cable box (which we don't have) and that's really all you're paying for that's extra. The model he told her to get was the LG UR80. I try to do some research but I can barely find any information on it. All I find out is that it isn't FALD or 120 refresh rate. I decide I don't even give a shit anymore and basically tell her it's her TV now. So we leave Costco with this thing and get it set up and there's light coming in from the edges when it's black and I'm assuming that's because of the lack of FALD. I don't like the interface, the smart platform isn't Google, etc. So I decided to file for divorce. Was that a bad decision?

2023.05.29 22:34 TripNo1876 Can someone tell me why gas is so much cheaper in Edmonton than Calgary.

I thought that gas prices in Alberta were fairly consistent throughout. How sorely mistaken I was when I went to spruce Grove the other weekend. Gas was 20 cents cheaper than calgary. I don't understand how it can be such a big difference.

Would OLED work for my new living room (pictured) or is LED better?
I’m moving into a new house in sunny SoCal and getting a new TV for the living room. There is a cutout in the wall for the TV/console which will best accommodate a 65” screen so that’s what I’m going with.
The room has very nice solid wood shutters on the lower windows but does have quite a bit of natural light. I love the look of those shutters so don’t want to obscure them with curtains or any additional window coverings. The house in general is bright and airy, which is great, but may not be ideal for OLED.
I was looking at the LG C2 65” OLED for an OLED option and the Sony X90 for LED, both from Costco. There’s a $500 price difference between the two, which isn’t nothing, but definitely worth it if OLED would work well in the space.
