Onions make you cry,add flavor to food and are praised for their medical benefits. Now the vegetable has another use―powering up green energy.
A new system was first used on Friday that converted onion juice into electricity at Gills Onions,the largest fresh onion processor in the United States.
The Oxnard,Californiabased company expects its new onionfueled power to reduce its electric bill by $700,000 a year and cut its annual greenhouse gas emissions by up to 30 ,000 tons.
The happy ending to this green energy tale,however,started with another question：how to get rid of onion waste.
"When we peel an onion,35 to 40 percent of the onion comes off before we have a usable onion. That's the top,tail and skin around the onion before you get to the meat," said Steven Gill,coowner of the 25-year-old company.
They used to put the waste into the fields for composting,but that became a problem. Ten years ago,Gill started looking at technology for a solution.
"We ended up cutting up the skins as they come out of the plant and extracting all the juice,which is very high in sugars,and bacteria love that stuff," Gill said.
In the new system,bacteria produce methane gas from the juice. The gas then goes to two 300-kilowatt fuel cells,creating enough power for 460 homes. The company expects to get 35-40 percent of its electricity from the onsite generator.
The company invested $9. 5 million in the project and will receive $ 2. 7 million from Southern California Gas Co.，as part of a state program to encourage selfcontained generation by businesses. In addition to cutting its electric bill,the company will save $400,000 in trans?port expense and expects payback in six years.

Extremely hot weather is common in many parts of the world. Although hot weather just makes most people feel hot,it can cause serious medical problems―even death. Recently,extreme heat was blamed for killing more than one hundred people in India. Experts say heat may be nature's deadliest killer.
The total heat of a hot day or several hot days can affect health. Several hot days are considered a heat wave. Experts say heat waves often become dangerous when the nighttime temperature does not drop much from the highest daytime temperature. This causes great stress on the human body.
The most common health problem linked to hot weather is heat stress. The causes of heat stress include wearing heavy clothing,physical work or exercise,hot weather or high humidity (湿度) .
Untreated heat stress can lead to a more serious problem called heat exhaustion. A person suffering from heat exhaustion loses too much water through perspiration (流汗) .The person becomes dehydrated. Heat exhaustion also can lead to heat stroke if it is not treated. Heat stroke is the most serious disorder linked to hot weather.
Generally,the body temperature rises to more than forty degrees Celsius. The body stops perspiring. The skin becomes dry and very hot. A person may become unconscious,not knowing what is happening.
Health experts say adults should drink about two liters of water a day to replace all the water lost in liquid wastes and perspiration.
In hot weather,drinking cool liquids is best. Cool drinks do more than just replace lost body water. They also help cool us faster than warm liquids do. This is because they take up more heat inside the body and carry it away faster. Yet experts advise against drinking sweet liquids in hot weather. The sugar they contain slows the liquid from getting into the blood system. Doctors also warn against alcoholic drinks. Alcohol speeds the loss of body water through liquid wastes.
Doctors say actions other than drinking water can protect against the health dangers of heat. Stay out of the sun,if possible. Wear loose,lightweight and lightcolored clothes. Also,rest more often. Physical activity produces body heat.
Experts say these simple steps can prevent the dangerous health problems linked to heat. They will prevent sickness,help you feel better and may one day even save your life.

Technical and technological skills will take on greater importance. There will be a growing need for people who can understand and fix systems―from computer systems to product distribution (分配) systems to plumbing (流通) systems.
Visionary skills (想象能力) will be in demand. The ability to gather and absorb a wide range of input,then use that knowledge,understanding,and view to guide organization into future,will be vital.
Numbers and measurement will be important,of course,but smoothing the flow from month to month,from quarter to quarter will be essential for highly profitable longterm performance. Practically every company will have to move away from today's puzzlement with looking ahead only as far as the next financial reporting period.
Ability to organize will definitely be important in the corporation of the future. Everywhere there will be a need to organize something：resources,workflow,marketing mix,financial opportunities,and much more,all will demand high levels of organization and reorganization.
Persuasive skills will be used in many ways by the corporation of the future,the most effective individuals will be those who know how to present information and ideas so that others can understand and support a particular position. Good salesmanship will be essential in many more interactions than we consider today,especially inside the organization.
Communication skills―careful listening,clear writing,close reading,plain speaking,and accurate description―will be invaluable. In tomorrow's fastpaced business environment there will be precious little time to correct any misunderstandings. Communications breakdown may well become a fatal corporate (企业) disease.
Ability to learn will be above everything else in importance―enabling people to grow in effectiveness and help their companies achieve desired objectives. Some of this skill is innate (天生的) ，but many people improve their ability to learn―and to relate different aspects of learning―through college and university courses. We believe the liberal arts education experience will prove to be the most valuable type of education for tomorrow's leaders.
The top employees of the coming century will be flexible (灵活的) ，creative and motivated toward making a positive difference in the world. They will seek balance,growth and fulfillment in both their work and home environments. The corporation of the future must respond to these needs and desires;otherwise they will find themselves limited by a lack of qualified people to accomplish the organization's work.
