Gazprom มองว่าแอฟริกาเป็นตลาดที่มีศักยภาพสำหรับก๊าซของรัสเซีย, Dmitry Khandoga ผู้แทน Gazprom Export CEA กล่าวในฟอรั่มนานาชาติ Russian Energy Week ที่กรุงมอสโกวว่า

"เรามองว่าทวีปแอฟริกาเป็นตลาดที่มีศักยภาพสำหรับก๊าซธรรมชาติของรัสเซีย ด้วยปริมาณสำรองก๊าซขนาดใหญ่และวิธีการส่งมอบทั่วโลกที่มีประสิทธิภาพ, โดยเฉพาะ LNG และการขนส่งทางทะเล," เขากล่าวในการประชุม ‘รัสเซีย - แอฟริกา: ปลดล็อกศักยภาพของความร่วมมือด้านพลังงาน’

Khandoga ยังได้เน้นย้ำถึงความสนใจของ Gazprom ในการใช้ความเชี่ยวชาญในการส่งมอบก๊าซธรรมชาติให้กับผู้บริโภคในแอฟริกา ขณะเดียวกันก็สำรวจโครงการเชื้อเพลิงที่ขับเคลื่อนด้วยก๊าซ, LNG ขนาดเล็ก, และไฟฟ้าที่ผลิตด้วยก๊าซ เขาหวังว่าจะสามารถระบุชื่อประเทศและโครงการเฉพาะเจาะจงได้ในช่วง African Energy Week ที่เมืองเคปทาวน์ในเดือนพฤศจิกายน

Gazprom looks to expand gas supply and LNG projects in Africa

Gazprom views Africa as a potential market for Russian gas, Gazprom Export CEA Dmitry Khandoga told the Russian Energy Week international forum in Moscow.

"We see the African continent as a potential market for Russian natural gas. With our large gas reserves and effective global delivery methods, especially LNG and maritime transport," he said at the ‘Russia – Africa: Unlocking the Potential of Energy Cooperation’ session.

Khandoga also highlighted Gazprom's interest in applying its expertise in delivering natural gas to consumers in Africa while exploring projects for gas-powered fuel, small-scale LNG, and gas-powered electricity. He hoped to name specific countries and projects during African Energy Week in Cape Town in November.

Russian Energy Week runs from September 26-28 in Moscow.

Chicky or Helene :


My Yorkie Chicky was born in 2012 - she just turned 12 years last week. If you were living in France, I would give you the name of "Helene", my name in French.

Indeed, you may (or may not) know that in France and probably in other countries like Belgium, for all the dogs with pedigree, each year of birth is associated to a particular alphabet : in 2012 to "H"(and 2024 to "V").

This regulation dates back to 1926. All the dogs with pedigree and registered at the "Livre des Origins Francais" (LOF) in France will be given a name following this specific rule to easily their DOB identification.

Nevertheless, since some alphabets may cause difficulties to name the dog (French names), especially the letters K, Q, W, X, Y and Z, do names are limited to 20 letters. "V" is for the year 2024, therefore all the dogs born in 2025, will be given a name beginning with "A".

What is a Present Participle?
A present participle is a verb form that typically ends in -ing and is used in several ways, including:
Forming Continuous Tenses: It helps create progressive verb tenses (e.g., "is running," "was eating").
As an Adjective: It can describe nouns (e.g., "a running stream," "a fascinating book").
In Participial Phrases: It can provide additional information about a noun in a sentence (e.g., "The dog, barking loudly, ran down the street").
The Word "Consisting"
The word "consisting" is the present participle of the verb "consist." Here’s how it functions:
1. Describing Composition
When used in a sentence like "The committee, consisting of specialists and government officers, will discuss the economy," the present participle "consisting" describes the composition of the committee. It tells us what the committee is made up of.
2. Forming Participial Phrases
In this context, "consisting of specialists and government officers" acts as a participial phrase that provides more information about the noun "committee." This structure allows for a more fluid and descriptive sentence.
Summary
Present Participle: A verb form ending in -ing that can function as an adjective or be part of continuous tenses.
"Consisting": The present participle of "consist," used to describe what something is made up of, often in a participial phrase.
Using present participles like "consisting" enhances sentence structure by adding detail and clarity about the subject being discussed.

Happy Lunar New Year – Learn All About This Celebration!

For millions of Asian Americans and Asian peoples around the world, the Lunar New Year is a time to gather with family, start the year off right, and eat a lot of delicious food. Like, a lot. One of the biggest holidays in East Asia, the Lunar New Year will fall on February 1, 2022 in 2022. Because it’s based on the Chinese lunisolar calendar, it’s also often called Chinese New Year.

While you may be familiar with Lunar New Year parades on TV, did you know the holiday encompasses a wide variety of unique traditions—from gifts exchanged to lucky fruit? Here’s a quick look at some of the things that happen behind the scenes.

How do people prepare for Lunar New Year?
There’s a lot to do leading up to the holiday. The general spirit of this preparation is to clean away the residue of the old year and start fresh, personally and financially. You can do this by giving your entire home a good deep cleaning and settling your debts and grudges. Clear away all the lingering bad luck of the old year, making room for the good luck of the new year.

It’s also important to visit your family’s gravesites before the new year. It’s bad luck to visit a cemetery during the New Year’s celebration because it’s ill-advised to mix interactions with death and celebrations of life. It’s a chance to touch base with your ancestors and remember them fondly. Some believe that ancestral spirits help bring good fortune in the new year.

What do people eat during Lunar New Year?
During the Lunar New Year, families get together to eat lucky foods, exchange gifts, and bond with one another. These gatherings are the highlight of the season. Many people travel far and wide to visit all of their family in the new year. So you live in San Francisco, but your family’s in New York? Have fun on your road trip!

Of course, as soon as you get through the door all your relatives will ask, “你食飯未呀” (“Have you eaten yet?”). What would family gatherings be without loads of food? But it’s considered bad luck to touch knives during the New Year’s season, so a lot of families take time to prep and store food ahead of time.

Some traditional foods have symbolic meanings:

fish

Fish is the centerpiece of many New Year’s feasts. In some Chinese dialects, the word for fish (鱼 or yú) is a homophone with the word for surplus (余, also yú). Thanks to this, eating seafood is believed to symbolize a bountiful new year.

dumplings

Dumplings symbolize wealth because they look like little Chinese-style gold ingots (or like little purses). Some believe eating a lot of them will lead to wealth in the new year (which sounds like a great excuse to eat more dumplings).

long noodles

Long noodles symbolize longevity and happiness. They can be served fried, boiled, or as part of a soup. Cutting or breaking the noodles is seen to symbolize cutting your lifespan short. So if you have a habit of breaking your pasta before cooking it, you might want to rethink that.

10-course banquets

Some restaurants will host 10-course banquets for the occasion. The pricing for these banquets will usually end in the number eight, which is considered lucky in Chinese numerology. In both Mandarin and Cantonese, the word for eight (八, pronounced bā or bat) sounds similar to the word for prosperity (發 pronounced fā or fat). You might actually recognize 發 from a common Chinese New Year greeting: “恭禧發財”. (You can say gong she fa tsai in Mandarin or gong hey fat choi in Cantonese.) So if you see a feast for $888, you know that’s extra lucky.

Lunar New Year celebrations and traditions

Lunar New Year is a time to wish each other luck and prosperity in the year to come—while warding off any potential bad spirits.

red envelopes

When families gather, they’ll also exchange red envelopes. These are known as lai see (Cantonese) or hóng bāo (Mandarin). They’re gifts from adults (elders and married people) to children and unmarried young adults. They usually contain a few coins or small bills of “lucky money.” This symbolizes a wish for prosperity and plenty in the new year. At the end of the New Year’s celebration period, you’re supposed to spend the lucky money on something sweet (for a sweet new year).

lucky words

Many families also decorate their homes with bright red lanterns and signs for the holiday. These typically have lucky words written on them in gold lettering. One word used is fú (福), which means good fortune. You might see this character hung upside down on or near someone’s front door. This is because in some dialects, the word for upside down, dào (倒) is a homonym with the word for to arrive (到, also pronounced dào). Hanging the sign upside down symbolizes arrival of good fortune. Yay for wordplay.

firecrackers

One Chinese legend says that there was once a monster, called the nián, that terrorized a certain village every Lunar New Year. Then one day, the villagers learned that the nián was afraid of a bright shade of red, as well as loud noises. The villagers all wore red and set off firecrackers and fireworks. The nián was terrified and fled the village for good. Mulan would be proud. Today, you’ll still see plenty of red and hear plenty of fireworks. It’s all still meant to scare away evil spirits (the nián included).

tangerines

You might also see arrangements of tangerines or other citrus fruits. These are also meant to symbolize prosperity thanks to their golden color. Tangerines that still have leaves and stems symbolize fertility. It’s traditional to give tangerines as gifts when you visit someone’s home during the New Year’s celebration.

Lunar New Year is an important time for many people in Asia, as well as for Asian communities worldwide. You probably know at least one person who celebrates it, and the traditions they observe won’t be the exact same as people of other families, regions, ethnicities, or religions.

What are zodiac animals?

The Chinese New Year specifically marks the end and beginning of a year of the Chinese zodiac. The Chinese zodiac consists of a cycle of 12 years, all named for animals. These animals are, in order: rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog, and boar.

Just like the Western zodiac, the Chinese zodiac says that a person’s personality and horoscope can be determined by their personal zodiac sign—in this case, the one of their birth year. According to the Chinese zodiac, 2022 is the Year of the Tiger. To celebrate the occasion, Chinese New Year festivals, parties, and parades will be held around the world, and most will be adorned with tigers in the form of decorations, art, and toys. The occasion also motivated some organizations to raise awareness of tiger conservation as tigers are a critically endangered species. In 2002, you can also celebrate and share your support for tigers with the Tiger Face emoji 🐯 and Tiger emoji 🐅.

Words That Come From Mandarin Or Cantonese

Think you only speak English? Think again. While you may not be fluent or able to write in another language, the fact is that English consists largely of words we’ve borrowed from other languages. In fact, about 80 percent of the English language is made up of these loanwords.

It’s amazing really to think of how many languages you speak on a daily basis without even realizing it. Take Chinese, for example. While China may seem a world away in terms of distance, there are plenty of words we use from the country’s languages regularly.

In China, two of the major forms of Chinese spoken are Mandarin and Cantonese. Mandarin is the official language of mainland China, spoken primarily in the north as well as in Singapore and Taiwan. Cantonese, on the other hand, is spoken primarily in southern China, including Hong Kong. Not surprisingly, the English language borrows from both. Let’s take a look at some of the words English ultimately owes to Chinese, along one etymological pathway or another.

ketchup

As American as this condiment may seem, the word apparently comes from the Chinese language. Via the Malay kəchap (“fish sauce”), ketchup is believed to derive from two Chinese forms: kéjāp (Guangdong) and ke-tsiap (Xiamen). The literal Chinese translation is “eggplant juice.” Hmm, so when did tomato get mixed up in it?

tofu

Whether or not ketchup on tofu sounds tasty is up to you, but the word for this healthy, soybean-based food also comes to us from China. It comes into English from Japanese (tōfu), which is itself heavily indebted to the Chinese language. The old Chinese word dòufu combines dòu, meaning “bean” and fǔ, meaning “turn sour, ferment.”

Shih Tzu

Sweet little Shih Tzu puppies are a popular breed in the United States now, but they used to be considered pets of nobility in China. Their name is shīzi gǒu, which comes from shīzi meaning “lion” and gǒu, meaning “dog.” They are Shih Tzus, hear them roar … or bark.

gung-ho

You may say you’re gung-ho about something—be it for the latest Netflix series or a new project at work—if you’re really excited about it. While the term was used as a Marine training slogan in the mid–1900s in the United States, it stems from the Mandarin phrase gōng hé, which is the abbreviated name of the Chinese Cooperative Society, meaning “work together.”

kowtow

If you kowtow to your boss or your bossy sister-in-law, you’re deferring to them or letting them have their way. The word stems from the Cantonese word kòutóu, which means to “ knock (one’s) head,” but we don’t recommend ever kowtowing to anyone that hard.

tycoon

Ah, if only we could all be tycoons. Defined as “a person of great wealth, influence, or power,” the word tycoon comes from the Japanese word taikun, which is equivalent to the Chinese words dà, meaning “great” and jūn, meaning “prince.” Similar in sound, but less enviable, is the word typhoon, which also ultimately comes from Chinese. It’s akin to the word dàfēng meaning, “great wind,” which, in turn, was altered by association with the Greek word tȳphôn, meaning “violent wind.”

yen

Yes, a yen is a Japanese coin, whose name comes from the name of the Chinese currency, yuan. But in this case we’re talking about the definition that refers to “a desire or craving” for something, which comes from Chinese. As in, I have a yen for some ice cream. It comes from the Chinese word yáhn, which is akin to yǐn, meaning “craving, addiction.”

yin and yang

You may tell your soulmate, “You are the yin to my yang,” which, to take a line from the movie Jerry Mcguire, means they complete you. Yin and yang stem from the word yīn-yáng, which combines yin meaning “feminine” and yang, meaning “male genitals.” It describes the Chinese belief that two principles—one related to the moon, shade, and femininity, and the other to daylight, sun, and male genitals— interact with one another to determine destinies.

chin-chin

You probably hear this phrase most often used as a toast these days, as drinkers clink glasses and proclaim, “Chin, chin!” But it’s also a noun for all that lighthearted party prattle, defined as “polite and ceremonious speech” or “light conversation; chitchat.” However you choose to use it, know that it comes from the Chinese word qǐng-qǐng, meaning “please-please,” which was itself used as a toast and greeting.

So, the next time you put some ketchup on your hot dog, or get gung-ho about eating healthy and buy some tofu in bulk, take a second to recognize how these words came to be. Maybe it will make you hungry to learn more about these languages … or just hungry for some Chinese food.

In any case, digging into the origins of the words that make up the English language is endlessly fascinating and gives us a better understanding of what we’re saying.

How many of these words did you know had Chinese origins?

“Supposedly” vs. “Supposably”: Yes, There Is A Difference

Recently, we added the word supposably to our dictionary. And, what do you suppose happened?

For one thing, we discovered how strongly people feel about this word—which many assume to be a recently invented term or a mispronunciation. Others quite reasonably think it’s a synonym of supposedly. After all, even Joey from Friends famously and hilariously couldn’t figure out if supposedly and supposably were different words.

Here’s the shocking truth: supposably is, in fact, a real word and has been used since at least the 1700s. However, it may not mean quite what you (or Joey) think it does. To celebrate supposably’s new entry in our dictionary, let’s break down the difference between the words supposably and supposedly.

What does supposedly mean?

Let’s start with the word most people know. The word supposedly means “according to what is accepted or believed, without positive knowledge.”

Supposedly is an adverb based on the word supposed. Supposedly is used to express doubt that something is what people say it is. It is a synonym of the word allegedly.

The word supposedly is used when a person has heard information about something, such as from the news or the rumors going around town. At the same time, they aren’t sure if the information is actually true. For example, a person may say that the dinosaurs are supposedly extinct if they don’t believe the dinosaurs are really gone. Maybe they’re hiding in a theme park somewhere?

What does supposably mean?

Supposably means “as may be assumed, imagined, or supposed.”

Supposably is an adverb based on the word supposable. If something is supposable, it means that it is possible or conceivable. Therefore, supposably is a synonym of the adverbs possibly and conceivably. If something can supposably happen, it means it is within the realm of possibility that it can happen. It is often used with words such as might, may, or could.

For example, it is correct to say that a dog may supposably be friends with a cat. Although they usually don’t get along, there is plenty of evidence of cats tolerating dogs. On the other hand, it would be incorrect to say that pigs could supposably fly. Pigs do not have wings nor the money to pay for flight school. Because a pig flying is impossible, logically you wouldn’t say that a pig may supposably fly—unless you fitted them with wings.

How to use supposedly and supposably

The easiest way to know which word you should use is to see if you want to say that something is supposed to be a certain way or if it is possible for something to be a certain way.

For example, if someone says that a particular bug spray supposedly kills mosquitoes, they are doubtful of the truth of this advertised claim—and are probably being munched on by mosquitoes!

On the other hand, if someone says that a particular bug spray supposably kills mosquitoes, they are saying that it is possible that the bug spray could kill mosquitoes—it is made from a chemical that can be lethal to mosquitoes.

Here are some more examples of correct uses of supposedly and supposably:

- My son supposedly bathed the dog but she smells like a dumpster!
- Although it is very unlikely, a skydiver could supposably survive jumping out of an airplane without a parachute.
- “Supposedly, the Egyptians built the pyramids,” Stan said. “If you ask me, it was time-traveling robots!”
- They set the betting odds at a million to one, which means that they believe that the celebrity chef might supposably defeat the professional boxer in a boxing match somehow.

So, here’s the big idea:

While supposably is a real (if rare) word, most people will opt for synonyms such as possibly or conceivably. Because many mistakenly believe others using supposably is a mistake, a lot of people avoid supposably so as not to invoke the wrath of people who are supposedly grammar snobs.
