This project is seen to enter the construction phase in the autumn of 2019 and be finalised in December 2020. It will be executed near Leeward’s existing 54-MW Crescent Ridge wind farm.At the same time, Target has inked a 15-year PPA with Engie North America Inc for 89 MW of capacity from the 200-MW Sand Fork solar park in Texas. The remainder of the plant’s capacity will be bought by another corporate customer, Engie said in a separate statement. The Sand Fork project is expected to be completed in the summer of 2021.Target noted that its newly announced 100% renewables goal applies to all of the company’s domestic operations, including the activities of its stores, distribution centres and offices. There is an interim objective of sourcing 60% of the firm’s electricity from renewables by 2025. The retailer pointed out that the contracted output of the above-mentioned projects will be enough to supply 280 US Target stores a year.The company will be investing in other wind and solar projects and is also looking to have rooftop solar installation at 500 of its locations by 2020.

Sign up for our COVID-19 newsletter to stay up-to-date on the latest coronavirus news throughout New York A 40-year-old Lawrence man who owned a now-defunct website that sold discounted clothes was convicted Friday of defrauding thousands of customers of more than $5 million in erroneous credit card charges.The two-week trial at U.S. District Court in Central Islip ended with a jury convicting Daniel Greenberg on eight counts of wire fraud, one count of access device fraud, one count of aggravated identity theft and three counts of money laundering.Prosecutors said that between June 2008 and at least April 2009, Greenberg charged victims’ credit or debit cards more than 60,000 times without their authorization. Greenberg, according to prosecutors, retained account information from previous purchases through Classic Closeouts and fraudulently charged credit and debit cards, sometimes charging the same card multiple times.When customers disputed the charges, Greenberg argued that the charges were legitimate because customers had enrolled in a “frequent shopper club” that required a one-time charge, prosecutors said. Some victims’ complaints fell on deaf ears and banks refused to issue credits.“When his business ran into trouble, Greenberg helped himself to his customers’ credit card numbers and then had the audacity to fight them when they tried to have the charges removed,” said United States Attorney For the Eastern District of New York Loretta Lynch.“We will tirelessly pursue justice for consumers who trust online merchants only to have that trust betrayed,” she added.Greenberg faces up to 20 years in prison for each of the eight counts of wire fraud, 15 years for access device fraud and up to 10 years for money laundering.

You know, “Darn, I missed that exit” followed by an immediate “recalculating” from a calm voice. It didn’t matter how I failed to follow instructions, the wonderful GPS voice kept me from losing sight of my goal and helped me readjust my tactics with that single goal focus in mind.Well, as a leader, aren’t you kind of like the GPS for a project, department, company and staff?Yesterday I found myself in Newark Airport needing to get to Freeport, Maine for a meeting and as luck would have it, my flight was cancelled. After looking at options I determined the safest method to get me to my needed destination was to cancel my flight and drive. I knew the six hours would not be a problem but navigating New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine was going to be the challenge. Thank heavens for GPS. continue reading »

‘Storm’ brewing The health department said the government was working to improve and increase both the health system’s infrastructure and human resource capacity to deal with increasing pressure from the COVID-19 pandemic.”Government’s response to COVID-19 is informed by the imperative to prevent infections and SAVE lives,” the minister of cooperative governance, Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, tweeted. “We are NOT therefore expecting and preparing for 1 million COVID-19 related deaths in the country. #StaySafe”.Long contained by the strict lockdown imposed in late March on South Africa’s 57 million citizens, the tally of coronavirus contaminations and deaths has begun to rocket. More than 8,800 cases and 100 deaths were recorded on Wednesday. With more than 220,000 total infections and 3,600 deaths, South Africa is the most-affected country on the continent.Despite the confinement, the hospital system in Africa’s most-industrialized country is showing signs of buckling under the strain. The much-feared “peak” of the health crisis seems to be approaching, and with it increases the concern of the authorities. “The storm that we have consistently warned South Africans about is now arriving,” Health Minister Zweli Mkhize told parliament on Wednesday.”We are now at a point where it’s our fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, close friends and comrades that are infected,” he said.Despite field hospitals deployed by the military or NGOs, “bed capacity is still expected to be breached or overwhelmed in all the provinces,” Mkhize warned. Topics : South Africa authorities sought Thursday to calm fears over coronavirus deaths after health officials in the country’s most-populated province said they were ready to bury more than a million people.Excavators have this week sprung into action to dig long rows of graves in cemeteries throughout Gauteng, which includes the cities of Johannesburg and the capital Pretoria, for possible mass burials.After performing inspections of burial sites in Pretoria, the provincial head of health, Bandile Masuku, said Wednesday that Gauteng was preparing over 1.5 million graves. “The province does not have over a million already open, dug graves,” the provincial health department said in a statement released on Thursday.”The [figure of] over a million graves refers to the collective capacity municipalities can take,” it said.
“All our municipalities have been putting up capacity and acquiring more in terms of the land that they’ll need for burial,” Masuku said.His announcement triggered a wave of anxiety in the province, which has so far recorded 75,015 coronavirus cases and 478 deaths, overtaking the Western Cape province as the epicenter of the virus in South Africa.Nationally, 3,602 deaths have been recorded to date.Authorities have since been scrambling to ease public fears that the province could see such an explosion in coronavirus-related deaths.
