HE only scored four goals whilst playing for Celtic. It might not have been many but at least they were all celebrated by fans. 2 He celebrated in front of a silent away crowd Credit: Reuters 2 It took his fans ages to realise he had opened the scoring Credit: Reuters Vakoun Bayo, 27, was left a bit puzzled when he found the net for Watford after just eight minutes at Plymputh tonight. That's because the whole away section seemed to have been caught napping and were unaware the Ivorian striker had found the back of the net - at least for a few seconds. The former Celtic flop has been in fine form for the Hornets this season ever since returning to the club on loan from Udinese. He had scored six league goals before this evening - but now he has added another to his tally. read more football stories UNHAPPY BHOY Furious Celtic fan calls out fellow Hoops supporters who 'discredit our brand' TALK OF THE TYNE Hearts v Celtic tips: Get up to £40 in free football bets at talkSPORT BET It took some time for Watford fans to realise he had found the back of the net for seventh time though. The striker slid into the back post to slot home a cross but his effort deflected off Plymouth keeper Daniel Grimshaw on the way in. The flashpoint seemed to have caused confusion as the stadium fell silent - albeit expected from the home crowd. But away supporters didn't react either before they realised what had happened several seconds later.

Reacting to the goal during Sky Sports' live coverage, he said: "Well, that is one of the strangest reactions to a goal I've ever seen from an away section. They had no idea where the ball had gone." Many punters were stunned by the lack of noise as well, with some joking the supporters must have been watching the game on a stream. One said: "Were the fans in the ground watching on a stream? What happened?" Someone else added: "Did Watford forget to plug the Ethernet cable in?" A third laughed: "Away fans watching the game on a Fire Stick??" Watford's lead was cancelled out later in the second half after Andre levelled it for the hosts. But Watford regained their advantage before heading into the break after Scotland star and former Hibs defender Ryan Porteous made it two. However, a stoppage time equaliser from Gray again meant both teams took a share of the points. Keep up to date with ALL t h e latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page
Government to block incinerators that do not contribute to green plans
The unique desert governance model of Kubuqi Desert has been widely recognized internationally and has become a global benchmark for environmental governance 12-03-2024 10:32 PM CET | Business, Economy, Finances, Banking & Insurance Press release from: Getnews / PR Agency: Website Servicer Co.,Ltd Three-North Shelterbelt Forest Program is one of the major ecological projects to deal with desertification in the world. Since its inception in 1978, the project has achieved huge ecological, economic and social benefits, building a "Great Green Wall" in northern China to resist sand storms, preserve soil and water, protect agriculture and promote animal husbandry. This project is not only a strong proof of China's effectiveness in combating desertification, but also a model for the global fight against desertification and climate change. Three-North Shelterbelt Forest Program aims to bring sustainable economic and ecological benefits to local communities through environmental protection, improve the global environment, and create a greener future for future generations. Tucked away in the expansive northern reaches of China, lies a desert that defies all expectations. Here, the sands carry the echoes of ancient tales, and the winds etch their stories upon the land. This is Kubuqi - a vast stretch of arid terrain nestled close to the "Zigzag Bend" of Yellow River.In northern China, the Kubuqi Desert stretches near the Yellow River's first bend, a once desolate wasteland that seemed to extend endlessly across the horizon.For years, it was a symbol of environmental decay.The herders faced extreme difficulties in traveling. There was no water, no electricity, life was tough, and the economy was underdeveloped. The environment at that time was particularly harsh, and meals often consisted of sand mixed with rice. But over the past 35 years, something remarkable has unfolded here.One third of the land has been greened. Its vegetation coverage has grown from 3% to more than a half. Vast swathes of desert have been turned into a thriving, fertile ground.At the heart of this success is a visionary partnership between the government, private sector and the local people.The government provided the policy support and funding, enabling the creation of a sustainable and economic model with wide-ranging benefits. While private enterprises like Elion Group introduced advanced technologies, commercializing them and enabling local farmers to benefit from these green transformations.This efficient planting method, pioneered by the local community, allows a tree to be planted in 10 seconds, significantly reducing planting time.Together, over 100 other desert ecological technologies, such as sand-binding plants, efficient irrigation systems, windbreaks, big data, and drone-based desert control, play a pivotal role in driving the success of desertification management in Kubuqi. New roads cut through the sands, unlocking fresh opportunities for trade, transportation, and investment, and a rejuvenated economy for the local population. The landscape that was once desolate is now a testament to the resilience of nature-and of human effort.China has outlined an ambitious vision to restore over 70% of the Kubuqi Desert by 2030, marking a groundbreaking achievement in desert reclamation.Recognized worldwide, Kubuqi has become a leading example of successful environmental transformation.This decades-long journey of dedication was made possible through the persistence of individuals and the power of teamwork. As the sun sets over Kubuqi, it shines on a story of possibility-a reminder that even the harshest landscapes can be revitalized. And it shows us how desertification can be reversed, one step at a time.
