Dream job astronaut More than 22,000 applications for space

Status: 23.06.2021 3:43 p.m.

Once into space – many have the dream. More than 22,000 people want to become astronauts and have applied to the European space agency ESA. However, this dream will only come true for six candidates. More than 22,000 people want a job in space: That’s how many applications the European Space Agency ESA received for astronaut training, the ESA announced. Among them are 3700 applicants from Germany. By the deadline last Friday, 5,400 women applied, which is a share of 24 percent – nine percentage points more than in the last call in 2008.

A “tough competition” for the dream job

The number of applicants also increased overall: in 2008 around 8,400 people were interested in training at ESA, less than half as many as now. The space agency now wants to select four to six candidates for astronaut training from the pool by October 2022 – but also a “reserve” of up to 20 people. ESA Director General Josef Aschbacher spoke of tough competition. “It is a dream job to be an astronaut.”

The selection process has six stages – the skills of the candidates are examined with, among other things, tests in the cognitive and technical areas. Applicants must have at least a master’s degree in natural sciences, engineering, mathematics or computer science. There are requirements for height, the age limit is 50 years. The new space crew should not be known until the end of next year.

For the first time also “para-astronauts”

For the first time, the space agency also wants to train so-called para-astronauts – those with physical impairments such as short stature or a handicap of the legs. More than 200 applications were received for this.

The role model for many is the German astronaut Alexander Gerst, who became known as “Astro-Alex”. He spent around half a year on the International Space Station ISS in 2014 and 2018. On his second mission, he was the first German to take command of the space station

Electric car manufacturer US agency investigates Tesla accidents

Status: 06/18/2021 10:49 a.m.

The US traffic safety authority NHTSA has investigated 30 accidents with Tesla models since 2016. It examines whether and how the use of Tesla’s assistance system for automated driving influenced the accidents. In recent years, accidents involving Tesla models have repeatedly raised the question of the extent to which there is a connection with the assistance system for automated driving. Does the US electric car manufacturer’s autopilot pose any particular dangers? To find out, the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is currently investigating 30 accidents involving Tesla models. The accidents have occurred since 2016 and claimed a total of ten deaths. The NHTSA has now published an official list with details of the accidents investigated for the first time, as reported by Reuters news agency.

Sensational accident in Texas

Accordingly, eight new investigations have been initiated since March 2021. In three of the 30 cases, the involvement of the autopilot in the accident could be excluded, according to the NHTSA. Two final reports are ready.

An accident in Texas in April caused a sensation in which a Tesla Model S hit a tree and immediately caught fire . Two men died in the accident. It is believed that neither of them had been behind the wheel. The authority is currently investigating six other incidents from other manufacturers in which assistance systems may be involved.

Problems in china

The US electrical manufacturer Tesla is repeatedly confronted with all kinds of safety concerns, most recently in the important Chinese market.

For example, an event at the Shanghai auto show in April caused a sensation. A woman at the Tesla booth got into a Model 3 from the manufacturer and complained screaming about brake failure. It was taken away by security guards while the videos were spreading online. The Chinese market supervisory authority then intervened, and state media called for an investigation into Tesla.

Tesla is the best-selling electric car in China. The group has also been producing in Shanghai since 2019. A quarter of all Teslas now roll off the assembly line there

Less CO2 through power plants EUEmissions trading paying off

Status: 06/17/2021 3:36 p.m.

The European emissions trading system had an impact last year. According to figures from the Federal Environment Agency, CO2 emissions in Germany’s power plants have fallen sharply. It looks different with industry.

From Martin Polansky, ARD capital studio

The German power plants emitted 15 percent less CO2 last year than in 2019. Coal power plants in particular were shut down. The energy sector and industry in this country have reduced their CO2 emissions by 33 percent since 2013. This is shown by current figures presented by the Federal Environment Agency (UBA).

According to the head of the German Emissions Trading Authority at UBA, Jürgen Landgrebe, European emissions trading has proven its worth. “The greenhouse gas emissions of the plants in Germany have fallen significantly.” Since 2018, the EU has decided to significantly strengthen its ambitions in European emissions trading. “And as a result, the markets reacted immediately,” said Landgrebe.

Significant price increases since 2018

Emissions trading is seen as a market-based instrument to reduce CO2 emissions. The system has existed since 2005. It ensures that around 1,800 power plants and industrial companies in Germany require emission certificates in order to be allowed to emit CO2.

The certificates are traded. The number of these decreases annually, which means that their price increases gradually. As a result, CO2 emissions are also becoming more and more expensive. While the certificate price was quite low for a long time, it has increased significantly since 2018 – to more than 50 euros per ton of CO2.

Gas-fired power plants and renewable energy systems have benefited from this, said the head of the emissions trading office. Last year, more than 45 percent of the gross electricity consumption in Germany was covered by renewable energies. “The aim is for us to price fossil fuels heavily so that renewable energies also become competitive more quickly,” said Landgrebe.

Weak effects in industry

Many market observers assume that emissions trading could lead to the shutdown of coal-fired power plants in this country much earlier than 2038. This end date was agreed a good two years ago in the so-called coal compromise between industry, environmental associations and trade unions. The federal government had largely adopted the compromise in the coal exit law. In industry, however, the effect of emissions trading has so far been less pronounced. Emissions have only fallen by around eight percent since 2013 – also due to the corona pandemic. In many cases there is a lack of marketable alternatives, for example for chemical plants or the steel industry. The latter is to switch from coke to hydrogen in the long term.

Help for retrofitting

The head of the German Emissions Trading Authority advocated increasing the pressure on industry. Fewer CO2 certificates should soon be issued. In addition, public aid is available for retrofitting. Landgrebe referred to the European innovation fund, which will provide approximately 20 billion euros for corresponding investments.

“The national decarbonisation fund is also providing around two billion euros to strongly promote such technologies and bring them to market readiness,” said Landgrebe.

Special taxes on industrial imports?

The steel industry and other sectors fear that European companies could suffer competitive disadvantages if the pressure to switch becomes too strong. The argument goes that climate protection does not benefit from steel coming more from India or China in the future.

In the European Union there are therefore considerations to impose special taxes on industrial imports from regions of the world with low climate standards in order to protect domestic industry. The EU Commission wants to present plans in July on how emissions trading can be used even more. On the one hand, consideration is being given to lowering the CO2 cap more quickly in order to meet the more ambitious European climate targets. On the other hand, certificate trading could be expanded to the areas of transport and buildings.

Surcharge at the gas station

In Germany, there has been a national CO2 pricing for fuel, heating oil and natural gas since the beginning of the year. However, this system is currently not based on a fixed CO2 cap, which is gradually being lowered, but on a price surcharge, for example at the petrol station – in the hope that people will use less fuel.

Similar to the issue of phasing out coal, European emissions trading could in the long run make the special national regulations superfluous in this country – if it proves to be the more efficient and market-compliant system for reducing CO2 emissions

Bad cell phone reception Lost in the dead zone

As of: June 8th, 2021 3:59 p.m.

Cell phone reception is still patchy in many rural areas. According to the network agency, more than ten percent of the country’s area is affected. Expansion is often delayed – companies could now face sanctions. The deeper you go into Germany’s rural regions, the worse the cell phone reception. This is the result of a current report by the Federal Network Agency. This is by no means a rare phenomenon. As the report shows, the supply is poor or non-existent on eleven percent of the country’s area. However, complete dead zones are really rare: Cell phone users, regardless of the provider, have no reception at all on just 0.3 percent of the area in Germany – they are “areas that are not provided with any technology”. This proportion is highest in Bavaria and Rhineland-Palatinate with 0.8 percent. In eight of the 16 federal states it is zero.

Annoying “gray spots”

However, 3.8 percent of the country’s area is referred to as so-called “white spots” in the report. In these areas, reception is only possible in the age-old 2G cellular standard. This standard is too slow for modern, complex mobile radio applications such as videos. 7.2 percent of the area are considered “gray spots”. Only one of the three German cellular networks, Telekom, Vodafone or Telefónica Deutschland, can be received there in the 4G standard. Anyone who is a customer of another network is left behind. Gray spots are astonishingly widespread: In Baden-Württemberg the proportion is ten percent, in Hesse and Rhineland-Palatinate it is 9.9 percent. Bavaria is fourth from bottom with 9.2 percent.

Industry points to high costs

In the Internet age, stable cell phone reception across the board is considered crucial for the development of rural areas. The flow of data is also becoming increasingly important for farmers in the fields, forest workers and hikers. The data from the Federal Network Agency show how great the need for expansion is. The telecommunications industry points to the high costs incurred in rural expansion. The network operators are now cooperating with each other to fill the gaps. In addition, there is a new state “mobile radio infrastructure company” that wants to use funding to enable radio locations where economic operation is not worthwhile. In the future, it is also planned to map 5G coverage and the main points of disconnections in voice telephony in a suitable form.

Main traffic routes not fully supplied

The report by the Federal Network Agency also deals with the issue of network supply along the main transport routes. Since the beginning of 2020, there should be 4G reception everywhere on motorways and ICE routes. However, 100 percent coverage has not yet been achieved. In the case of the motorways, the degree of coverage is between 95.4 and 99 percent, depending on the company, and between 94.4 and 98.2 percent for the railways, writes the Federal Network Agency. After all, the supply along the main traffic routes has been improved.

Fines not excluded

The authority refers to a total of around 550 locations where the companies were unable to ensure the required network supply in good time. “The examination has shown that there are cases of actual and / or legal impossibility at around 20 planned locations. The majority of the cases are temporary delays,” it says. The Federal Network Agency is currently examining possible sanctions against the mobile network operators. It is crucial here whether the delays were caused by the mobile network operator – for example due to late planning of the location – or by third parties, for example due to long building permit procedures or late cancellations by landlords. If the network operator is responsible for the delay, there is a risk of fines.

ODA capital has made an important contribution to infrastructure investment, promoting socio-economic development. Thus, localities will also be easier to apply and foreign organizations will also find it more convenient to carry out procedures for central and local governments. Reporter: The Ministry of Finance is soliciting public comments on the draft circular guiding the state financial management of foreign non-refundable aid as part of state budget revenue. From some facts about receiving foreign aid from the localities where Oxfam has provided aid, do you have any comments on the development of this circular? Mr. Pham Quang Tu: Faced with the fact that many localities are still confused in guiding the implementation of legal documents related to the receipt of foreign aid, I highly appreciate the fact that the Ministry of Finance has actively developed this circular to guide guidelines on financial management of foreign aid under the state budget in three different decrees, namely Decree 56 on ODA aid, Decree 80 on non-ODA aid and Decree 50 on emergency relief and disaster recovery. Mr. Pham Quang Tu An example in the implementation of Oxfam’s projects is the flood emergency relief program in Central 2020. The understanding and application of this fund by local governments are different. For Quang Tri and Quang Nam provinces, they immediately identified Oxfam’s support capital under the implementation guidelines of Decree 50. While Ha Tinh and Quang Binh have concerns about applying Decree 80 or Decree 50. From that example, it can be seen that, the same source of foreign funding, whether it is from the state budget or not from the budget, but with different sources being adjusted under different regulations, localities have different interpretations. , so there is confusion in how to apply the appropriate regulations, leading to many aid sources not being implemented in a timely and rapid manner compared to needs. If this situation continues, it may lead to us not being able to take full advantage of foreign aid sources, causing donors to move to another locality or to another country, which is a pity. Therefore, when the Ministry of Finance issues a common guideline for all 3 Decrees for sources under state budget management, it will create a synchronism as well as make it easy to understand for aid-receiving organizations. A good idea, worth noting. I hope that the guidance of this circular will help local governments better understand how to approve and implement projects to avoid overlap. Reporter: This new draft circular has specific regulations on the construction of foreign aid capital estimates. What is your view on this matter? Mr. Pham Quang Tu: In my opinion, the construction of an estimate is common and necessary when following a general financial management process, including: estimation, expenditure, and finalization, but it is necessary to calculate which type is appropriate. The draft circular contains provisions on annual, 3-year and 5-year financial planning for foreign aid sources under the state budget. However, out of the three sources of ODA, non-ODA aid, and emergency aid, it seems that only ODA can be identified in the long term and thus 5-year financial planning is almost exclusively applicable to this resource. As for the other two types of capital, it will be difficult to make a 5-year plan. Even if there is a plan, the practicality and feasibility are not high, especially for emergency relief according to Decree 50, it is even less planned, because it is only determined when natural disasters occur. Therefore, using a common estimation model for all three types of capital sources will lead to stereotypes, rigidity and impracticability. Figures 3 years and 5 years are only forecasts, so the error in planning for 3 years and 5 years will be more, until implementation will have to be adjusted a lot. Therefore, when implementing, it is necessary to create flexibility in adjusting compared to the plan without having to create too strict requirements, avoiding asking for up, down and approval many times. In my opinion, for investment aid, the planning should be applied on a 3-year, 5-year cycle. As for the source of emergency relief, it should be flexible and should ensure prompt approval so that it can be implemented due to its emergency nature of relief. Reporter: From the perspective of organizations providing foreign aid to Vietnam, what recommendations do you have for this draft decree? Mr. Pham Quang Tu: First of all, as discussed above, I think that planning needs to be more flexible, not rigid, most importantly, it is necessary to focus more on the process of controlling expenses and payment. In addition, in my opinion, Clause 2 of Article 2 should be removed in the draft circular on the subject of application being “agencies in charge of foreign aid programs/projects/non-projects”. The reason is that the governing body is not the one to directly manage and use the aid. For example, if the Department of Agriculture of Province A is the grant holder/project owner, the Provincial People’s Committee is the governing body. In this case, the Provincial People’s Committee is only the competent authority to approve and allow the department to receive this aid, but the funding will be transferred to the account and managed by the Department of Agriculture. With the regulation that the governing body is the subject of the circular, it means that the Provincial People’s Committee must perform all the contents that the project owner, the Department of Agriculture, must do. This is an unrealistic and formal regulation because the Provincial People’s Committee does not manage money but only receives reports from the Department of Agriculture. The Department of Agriculture is a state agency and a legal entity, when directly the project owner will have to take full responsibility and if there are errors in the implementation process, they must be responsible before the law and authorities. on. PV: Thank you sir! Proposing the Government to develop a joint decree “In foreign aid, there are two types: state budget (state budget) and non-state budget. Therefore, to ensure uniformity, we suggest that, through the development of this circular, the Ministry of Finance can summarize and advise and propose the Government to develop a common decree, guiding the entire the process of calling for the receipt, management and use of foreign grants. In that joint decree, it will divide into two branches of budgetary and non-budgetary sources, including all from ODA, non-ODA and emergency relief sources. This will ensure synchronization…”
Mr. Pham Quang Tu – Deputy Country Director of Oxfam in Vietnam

Located at an altitude of 1,600 meters, the tropical heat of Southeast Asia cannot reach here, so Sapa has long been a resort and destination for tourists to escape the sweltering heat. Sapa is located at the foot of Mount Fansipan, the highest mountain in the country and from a small village, now Sapa has become a town with a surrounding tourist infrastructure system. Despite the fact that tour companies, hotels and restaurants here compete to attract guests – something not everyone likes, Sapa is still really one of the most favorite tourist destinations in Vietnam. It is due to the attractiveness of the landscape here when visitors can walk all day with narrow paths running through green terraced fields or indigo-indigo fields cultivated by the Hmong and Dao minorities. work. Not far from Sapa is the town of Bac Ha, with the largest market in the North taking place every Sunday and this is one of the most exciting highland markets in the country.

Through research, a course of treatment according to the method of “gods” is not low at an average cost of about 3 million VND for a course lasting 2-3 months with the same cost. medical examination, diagnosis and monitoring of the patient’s drug use completely … by phone. It can be seen that with such a high cost, just every day the “physicians” carry out treatment for a few dozen or a few hundred patients everywhere, the profit is not a small number, so the “medical healers” “Also extremely generous to spend money on advertising content.

According to advertising experts, with advertisements on the Youtube platform, Google implements a “bidding” feature to choose the preferred display in advertising services. This is a feature that allows advertisers to choose how much they will pay Google when YouTube viewers “click” on the promotional video or watch the specified time.

The usual cost is in the range of 100-200 VND for a time when a viewer visits or watches YouTube for the specified time for the promotional video. However, the video advertising “god of medicine”, the medicine mentioned above has “bid” many times higher, maybe from 500 VND, even 900 VND.

Tracking a page promoting a product introduced is a comprehensive solution to “cure” the problem of body odor with the consultation of male singer Đ.T, which is famous for his nourishing hair and nickname ” Not old singer “. Appearing in the sharing video, the male singer said that the X series (including oral tablets and a rolling bottle) with dual effects will “eliminate” the problem of body odor; and X is also the first and only product in the world (!?) containing silver Nano ingredient that acts both inside and out to help reduce more than 90% of sweat and body odor after 1 course. It is not clear how the “special treatment” of the product is, whether it really cures armpit disease as shared by the male artist, but according to the above information, it is confirmed that the advertising content No. 2301/2020 / XNQC-ATTP dated 23 / 07/2020 is issued by the Food Safety Department to the product with the content and function: “Support to improve sweating situation”.

Male singer Đ.T in the product video is said to be able to cure the “wing inflammation” problem.

The 58-year-old NTM shared with a reporter related to the fact that artists participating in online advertising for “drugs” said that she recently encountered many advertisements with different contents from “diabetes pills”, “Stomach effervescent”, … with the appearance of a famous comedian, director of a famous theater and familiar with the audience through his audacious roles on television from 2005 to now on.

In an introduction video about the product “effervescent Y”, the actor said, this is “the No. 01 effervescent tablet in Vietnam, for sure” and the technology application from Japan has the effect of “folding 300 times ”compared to conventional products.

The comedian shared that a product was “300 times more” useful than a conventional product.

The advertising of selling drugs and functional foods with the promise of “cure”, “the perfect solution”, “farewell to the disease”, “root treatment” … has not been verified in terms of quality.
