Spectacular comeback The new boom in the solar industry

As of: 06/24/2021 8:03 a.m.

After years of decline and bankruptcies, the solar industry in Germany is experiencing a comeback. Even solar cells are being produced again in this country. Help is also coming from the coalition.

From Lothar Gries, tagesschau.de

While the expansion of wind turbines is stalling, photovoltaic systems are enjoying ever greater popularity. In a tender in March, the Federal Network Agency was literally overrun with applications. There were more than twice as many interested parties as expected. Much to the delight of the Union and the SPD, who are agreed on an immediate program for energy and climate protection shortly before the summer break . After the federal cabinet yesterday given the green light has, the package should to be passed by the Bundestag today . According to this, the tender volumes for photovoltaic systems will be increased by 4.1 gigawatts to six gigawatts from next year. In the future, the municipalities will also be able to participate financially in photovoltaic areas. Until now, this was only possible with wind turbines. The Union and the SPD could not agree on a solar obligation for new buildings. Consumer advocates and the Haus und Grund association had heavily criticized the plans.

Mega boom in the solar industry

Solar systems were already very popular last year. According to the Bundesverband Solarwirtschaft (BSW), a quarter more solar systems were installed on German roofs than in the previous year, exactly 184,000, with an output of around 4.9 gigawatts. No other form of energy grew faster in power generation. However, pull-forward effects probably also contributed to this. In the spring there was still uncertainty about the continued existence of state subsidies, plus the temporarily reduced value added tax.

Almost every tenth kilowatt hour consumed this year comes from solar energy in this country. The Federal Association of Energy and Water Management (BDEW) is already demanding that new solar systems with an output of at least ten gigawatts (GW) be installed every year by 2030. “We need a solar boom,” said BDEW chairwoman Kerstin Andreae recently to “Handelsblatt”.

Again solar cells from Bitterfeld

The domestic production of solar modules is celebrating an unexpected comeback these days. Solar cells are being produced again in Germany, in what was once the “Solar Valley” near Bitterfeld in Saxony-Anhalt. The Swiss company Meyer Burger recently opened a new plant here, which will be ramped up these days.

“At the historic Solar Valley solar location, we are setting a milestone on Europe’s path to more strategic independence in the key technology of photovoltaics,” said CEO Gunter Erfurt at the opening on May 18th. In the highly automated operation, up to 200,000 solar cells are expected to roll off the production line every day. In a first step, an annual capacity of 400 megawatts is planned. It should be five gigawatts by 2026.

Next door, the solar company Q-Cells, which belongs to the South Korean Hanwha Group, is expanding its location in Bitterfeld and intends to invest a good 140 million euros in the research and development of new, low-resource solar modules by 2023. Q-Cells was once one of the largest photovoltaic manufacturers in Europe, but was ousted by Chinese competition and had to file for bankruptcy in 2012 before the Koreans bought it.

The lucrative business with solar parks

In fact, the manufacture of solar panels plays a rather subordinate role in the rebirth of the industry. The most important players in the new boom are now operators and developers of solar parks, above all the Hamburg company Encavis, which has now been included in the MDAX share index. The electricity provider, formerly known as “Capital Stage AG”, acquires and operates solar power plants and (onshore) wind parks in Germany and other European countries – with success, as the latest outlook shows. The result this year is expected to increase more than twice as fast as in 2020. Sales are expected to grow to over 320 million euros, thanks to two newly connected solar parks in Spain with a maximum production capacity of 200 and 300 megawatts each. The regular income that such a business model generates has not escaped other entrepreneurs.

Is a new IPO imminent with BEE?

Five years ago, a dozen Encavis managers decided to start their own company. With financial help from the entrepreneurial family Wacker (Wacker Chemie) and the former publishing family Jahr, the wind and solar park operator Blue Elephant Energy (BEE) was created. The company controls systems with a combined output of 1.1 gigawatts. Projects of a similar size are being planned. BEE achieved an operating result (Ebitda) of more than 60 million euros last year with a turnover of over 80 million euros. Because of the unusually high margin and the industry’s growth prospects, there is even speculation that the Hamburg-based company will go public. The company could earn 150 million euros, insiders reported to the Reuters news agency. After that, the issue could be implemented this summer, if possible in July. The company does not comment on the speculation. But company boss Felix Goedhart is quoted by the “Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung” as saying: “Our operating profit margin of 74 percent with low risk should be interesting for investors.”

Solar power from Mecklenburg for VW

Climate protection and the goal of the EU Commission to make Europe the first climate-neutral continent by 2050 are generating more and more alliances between a wide variety of companies. The Hamburg asset manager Luxcara has acquired a solar park in Mecklenburg and commissioned the energy giant RWE to market it. RWE will supply the car manufacturer Volkswagen with electricity from next year. The system has a total capacity of 170 million kilowatt hours of electricity per year, which makes it one of the largest solar projects in Germany

More and more electric cars Boom for Battery manufacturer

Status: 06/17/2021 10:13 a.m.

The growing number of e-cars on the streets is causing the battery market to grow strongly. One EU country in particular can catch up significantly with its Asian competition.

From Oliver Feldforth, MR

For years it was talked about, now the boom in electric mobility really seems to be there. Electric cars are very popular at a leading Frankfurt dealership. One seller says that what is delivered to him can also be easily sold.

The electric cars have contributed to the fact that the corona pandemic could not harm the battery market in Germany. Last year there was an increase of 35 percent. “Above all, the volume of the market for lithium-ion batteries has increased enormously,” says Christian Eckert from the Central Association of Electrical Engineering and Electronics Industry ZVEI. Overall, this segment grew by 63 percent. And that is mainly due to electromobility.

The recycling rate should increase

A battery is only as green as the material and the electricity used to make it. Even the electric car is only as green as the electricity with which it is charged. When it comes to battery recycling, German industry is on the right track, said Christian Rosenkranz, Chairman of the ZVEI Batteries Association. The recycling rate for classic batteries is 80 to 90 percent, while it looks worse for lithium-ion batteries, which are in increasing demand. The industry wants to achieve a rate of 65 percent in four years.

Environmentalists see a need for action. “It is not only in Germany that we have to set high social and ecological standards for the production of batteries,” says Benjamin Stephan from Greenpeace. “The car manufacturers are responsible for this, but politics must set clear rules for all companies.”

Poland leads the way in Europe

Germany imports batteries. The manufacturers from Europe overtook the Asian competition for the first time last year. In Europe, Poland is the leading producer, in Asia it is China, according to Christian Eckert from the ZVEI.

And electromobility will continue to grow. Volkswagen sees it that way too. The car manufacturer plans to set up six battery cell plants of its own in the next few years. According to Ralf Brandstätter, head of the Volkswagen brand, by 2030 at least 70 percent of all new Volkswagens in Europe should be electric vehicles, in North America and China more than half.

Solid-state batteries as the technology of the future

The decision as to which drive for cars comes after the classic combustion engine seems to have been decided for the time being. “The battery-electric drive is the most efficient and significantly more economical than fuel cells and combustion engines,” said Benjamin Stephan from Greenpeace. “With the same amount of renewable electricity, a car with a fuel cell can only go half as far as a battery-electric one.”

In the case of car batteries, solid-state batteries are to replace lithium-ion technology. It does not require cobalt, which under questionable circumstances is mainly extracted in Africa. For environmentalists, electromobility is only part of the necessary turnaround in traffic. And so Greenpeace is also calling for a change in mobility towards an intelligent transport system in which bicycles, buses and trains play a bigger role

Phuong Oanh (second from left) appeared in a fashion photo shoot for Erdem fashion house with foreign models. The model arrangement focuses on diversity, showing integration. According to Vogue, this is the brand’s Resort 2022 collection. Oanh said that she and her colleagues took this photo at Tranfalgar Square London, England. Sharing with Zing, Phuong Oanh said: “I came to London at the end of January because I wanted to try and experience anything different than in Vietnam. Moreover, I also want to keep more memories with my profession. “. In the UK, the epidemic problem does not affect the work of female models much. However, Oanh said that traveling faced many obstacles, strict medical examination process in all stages, from casting to show time. Therefore, she always had to leave early before the scheduled time to prepare. By the time Oanh passed to London, everyone had to social distance. However, she is still lucky to find a job. She won three shows of London Fashion Week: Fila, Edward Crutchley and Halpern. Stella McCartney, Feng Chen Wang are other shows outside of fashion week. In addition, she also received other lookbook shooting projects. “At the beginning of the outbreak, many shows were canceled. The crew informed me that I should return to Vietnam. This year, everything is under control, so I can still go to work as usual. However, fashion agencies must register with the government and notify the entire medical declaration team,” she added. With a height of 1.78 m, a slim body and a cold face, Phuong Oanh is confident when walking with the model of her country. Erdem’s collection this time exudes British femininity, with a hint of 1940s classics. “The designs feel like a love letter to old women. Perfection. reflected in her flattering coats, distinctive belts, and curtains that resembled skirts,” commented editor Anders Christian Madsen.

Chinese social media is now flooded with advertisements about the results of ear plastic surgery. “It’s magic! I haven’t changed anything in my face and all my friends say I look different the day I got my ear surgery done. For example, the face looks smaller and looks better. smarter.. etc..” – said a young person on the lifestyle sharing platform Xiaohongshu over the weekend. Goblin ears are currently a popular beauty trend among young Chinese. Photo: Artwork “Oh, I want it too”, “definitely worth it”, “unbelievable” – others commented. The owner of the Shanghai-based Mylike Medical Cosmetic Center, Ms. Linlin, told the newspaper South China Morning Post : “The demand is so high that customers have to line up for the surgery. It’s very safe and popular.” Yu Wenlin, a doctor specializing in ear plastic surgery at Gaoshang Medical Aesthetic Center in Guangzhou, says he sometimes performs up to six ear surgeries a day. Many doctors warn that this surgical procedure carries many risks. Photo: Baidu Some people want their ears changed because they can’t be seen from the front, which makes the face appear larger, or because they can’t pull their hair back, Dr Yu added. There are two common ear surgery methods: one is inserting artificial cartilage or cartilage from other parts of the body into the area behind the ear that Dr. Yu usually does. The other way is to inject hyaluronic acid that the Mylike base provides. Wang Jiangyun, a plastic surgeon at Third People’s Hospital in Zhengzhou, in central China’s Henan province, warned that there could be a risk of scar infection and asymmetrical ear infections when Additional cartilage, allergies, blood clots and necrotic skin when using hyaluronic acid. “I dare say that after this “goblin ear” craze, there will be an army of people going to beauty salons asking to get their original ears back, just like there was a time when there was a “nose according to internet celebrity” surgery movement. “, “European double eyelids” etc. have done”, – said Dr. Jiangyun. “As time goes on, you will find that these fashions become ugly. So I advise people to think more rationally about this,” he added. Guangzhou-based surgeon Yu said the popularity of goblin ears surprised him. However, he agreed that the fever would pass quickly. So he will turn down people who ask to have parts of the cartilage cut to make the ears look exactly like the goblins in the movies, because such cases won’t be the same again. “As doctors, we have to consider aesthetic factors for patients in the long run. Many children ask for it impulsively,” he said. China’s plastic surgery market has grown from about 64.8 billion yuan ($10.1 billion) in 2015 to nearly 177 billion ($27.7 billion) in 2019, leading the growth. about plastic surgery in the world, according to a report by Deloitte Consulting in January 2021. The annual growth rate of the plastic surgery industry in China is 28.7%, much higher than the global growth rate of 8.2%.

“In preparation, the government has implemented an extensive vaccination program for many target groups, including the tourist workforce. In addition, the government also initiated a Clean, Health, Safety and Environmentally Sustainability certification program across the entire tourism sector in Indonesia,” the announcement said. Bali injects Covid-19 vaccine for locals to implement a plan to reopen to welcome visitors. Photo: AFP. Earlier, Indonesian President Joko Widodo also said that the country would partially open its borders in July. Bali, Batam and Bintan will become the “engines” to revive the country’s tourism economy. These destinations are also “green zones” – places that are considered to be under control of the Covid-19 epidemic and most of the population has been vaccinated. However, the information about the reopening of Indonesia’s borders comes in the context of experts warning that the country is on the verge of another outbreak. The cause may come from the large gatherings after the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr. Indonesia applied a travel ban from May 6 to May 17 to limit the spread of the pandemic. However, government figures show that at least 1.5 million people moved before the ban took effect. Bali is absent from international tourists due to the pandemic. Photo: AP. Plans next July are not the first time Bali has tried to open up to tourists to revive the economy. In 2020, the plan to welcome foreign visitors back in September was canceled due to continued travel bans and a spike in the number of Covid-19 cases locally. The lack of visitors due to the pandemic has devastated Bali’s economy, which is 80% dependent on tourism. The destination is known as the “paradise island”, which is always bustling, now deserted, restaurants and bars are almost empty, operating in moderation or going bankrupt. According to the Reuters Indonesia is also the most affected Southeast Asian country in the Covid-19 pandemic, with more than 1.7 million infections and 48,000 deaths.

Investors in high spirits Why the DAX rushes from record to record

Status: 14.06.2021 4:03 p.m.

While the economy is only slowly picking up pace after the Corona openings, the German stock market does not seem to be stopping. What are the main reasons for the price boom? From Lothar Gries, tagesschau.de The German leading index DAX rose by up to 0.7 percent in the morning and climbed to a record high of 15,802 points – the 23rd record this year. The index has risen by 15 percent since the beginning of the year. The stock exchanges are also in record-breaking mood at the European level. The Stoxx 600 index, comprising 600 values, also climbed 0.7 percent today and reached its 38th high this year with 460.51 points. The stock markets are fired from several sides. The most important driver is the expansionary monetary policy of the central banks in the USA and Europe. Since the European Central Bank (ECB) lowered the key interest rate to zero on March 10, 2016, i.e. more than five years ago, the returns on traditional savings offers from banks and savings banks have also shrunk to such an extent that even risk-averse German investors are looking for alternatives have looked around. In addition to real estate and precious metals, stocks are very popular.

More and more shareholders

In this country there were as many shareholders last year as last year in 2001, as determined by the German Stock Institute (DAI). According to this, 12.4 million people in Germany have invested in the stock market, i.e. they owned exchange-traded securities such as fund shares or stocks. Compared to 2019, that’s an increase of 2.7 million or 28 percent. The downward trend of previous years has thus been completely reversed. After the dot-com bubble burst in 2000, the number of equity investors in Germany steadily declined – until interest rates sank to virtually zero. But the ECB has not only boosted the number of shareholders and thus share investments, it is also active on the capital markets itself. In order to keep the economic effects of the corona pandemic as low as possible, the central bank is pumping many millions of euros into the market every day. To do this, it buys bonds issued by governments and companies. By the end of March 2022, she wants to spend the gigantic sum of 1.85 trillion euros, a number with twelve zeros. A considerable part of it flows into the stock market and drives prices to ever new heights.

No end of the flood in sight

In the past few weeks, there have been repeated suspicions that the central banks in Europe and the USA will soon be able to turn the money off again because inflation is reporting back and price increases have shot far beyond the monetary authorities’ targets. But both Jerome Powell, the head of the US Federal Reserve (Fed), and ECB President Christine Lagarde initially gave the all-clear. Just today, Lagarde said in an interview with the magazine “Politico” that the time was not yet ripe for a discussion about an end to the crisis bond purchases by the central bank. “It is far too early to debate these issues,” said Lagarde. The economic recovery must be firm, solid and sustainable. Don’t take a patient’s crutches off until the muscles begin to build up sufficiently – so that the patient can move on their own two legs again.

V-shaped economic recovery expected

In addition, investors are assuming that the pandemic-related restrictions will end soon. “The pandemic is no longer an issue at the latest with the now significantly lower number of new infections, and investors also seem to be able to come to terms more and more with the fear of inflation,” says market expert Milan Cutkovic from brokerage firm Axi. With the decline in Covid-19 restrictions, growth expectations are skyrocketing around the globe. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) expects the global economy to grow by 5.7 percent this year. For Germany, the federal government expects growth of up to four percent. The prognosis from the beginning of the Corona crisis that there will be a V-effect in which the economy first collapses, but then quickly recovers, seems to be confirmed. This is rather good news for equity investors, because they hope that a growing economy will generate increasing profits and thus rising prices for listed companies.

Price turbulence ahead?

This combination of a zero interest rate policy, a glut of money from the central banks, a growing number of shareholders and the expectation of a rapid recovery in the global economy is driving share prices to ever new heights. But the air is getting thinner. Many investors are watching the Fed’s monetary policy deliberations this Wednesday. It is true that the Fed is not expected to deviate from its current course and end the boom in the financial markets. “But their projections on inflation, interest rates and the economy could cause price turbulence,” says Naeem Aslam, chief market analyst at the brokerage firm AvaTrade.

Consumption around the EM Will football boost the economy?

Status: 11.06.2021 09:55 a.m.

Normally, major sporting events create a special boom in the economy. At the EM this year it will be a little different. From Notker Blechner, tagesschau.de Actually, the “Euro 2020” should stimulate Europe’s economy, especially tourism. For the first time, the European Football Championship will take place in several countries – so the organizers originally hoped that thousands of fans would travel across Europe, go out to eat, shop and stay in hotels. But because of the corona pandemic, this calculation no longer works. Most cities will have a limited number of viewers. Many fans refrain from traveling and prefer to stay at home in front of the television at home.

Only limited economic stimulus

The direct economic effects on the host countries of the EM are likely to be limited. The travel industry, gastronomy and hotel business are not expecting a large boost from foreign guests. Even in the only German European Championship host city Munich, the expectations are not too high. Especially since there was no special boom for the construction industry in the run-up to the tournament – unlike at previous events. Most of the stadiums have not been specially modernized for the European Championship, as is usually the case with major sporting events. The infrastructure in the host cities was also not extensively renovated. “Since the games are being played all over Europe, there was no need to invest heavily,” explains Gert Wagner from the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW) tagesschau.de .

No million investments in infrastructure and stadiums

It was different at the previous European Championships: For the Euro 2012 in Poland and Ukraine. Ukraine invested eleven percent of their gross domestic product and Poland seven percent in the expansion of the stadiums and infrastructure, as the Berenberg Bank has calculated. However, the hoped-for economic boom did not materialize afterwards – at least in Ukraine. The 2016 European Championships in France were more successful: hosting the tournament in their own country cost a good 200 million euros in public expenditure. This contrasted with 1.2 billion euros in revenue. According to an estimate by the European football association UEFA, half of these came from foreign visitors. Not included in the balance sheet, however, are the costs of 1.6 billion euros for the construction and modernization of the French stadiums. This time, the EM should bring the greatest impetus to domestic consumption. Many Germans are expected to spend more money on new televisions, beer, chips, grilled food and maybe a few fan items in June and July in order to watch the European Championship games in their own four walls or in the garden at home. “Basically, consumer goods companies that do a lot of advertising benefit, sporting goods outfitters, food manufacturers and of course beer brands that do particularly well when the weather is good. When there is a barbecue, more beer is drunk,” says capital market strategist Oliver Roth from banking house Oddo Seydler.

More business with TV sets?

According to a survey by the trade association HDE, 41 percent of electronics retailers expect higher sales. Because experience from past major sports events shows that “before and after the start of the tournament, particularly large TV sets are purchased”, according to the market watchers from Nuremberg-based GfK. Electronics retail chains such as MediaMarkt Saturn are already feeling “an increasing interest in large-format TV sets”. After the end of the corona lockdown, the Germans’ desire to consume is likely to reawaken anyway. During the pandemic, many German citizens had no way of spending their money on travel or expensive restaurant and concert visits.

Brewers increase their capacities

Other industries also believe in an EM effect. Every third grocer is hoping for more income from the European Championship, according to the HDE survey. The brewers in particular have increased their capacities and are hoping for good summer business. However, Corona continues to get in their way. Because public viewings, where the beer flows freely, will probably only take place on a small scale. So far, “our business has only been running with slowed-down foam,” explains Holger Eichele, General Manager of the German Brewers’ Association. The sporting goods manufacturers are traditionally considered to be the greatest beneficiaries of a European Football Championship. Adidas, Nike, Puma & Co have been preparing for months with extensive marketing and advertising campaigns for the sporting event of the year. The further the national team they have equipped goes, the better business with the jerseys is. Adidas and Nike deliver a duel here. The brand with the three stripes has three favorites for the title: Spain, Belgium and Germany. Nike can score with world champion and title contender France as well as with secret favorite England. Adidas also provides the official match ball, the Uniforia.

It depends on the cut

How big the consumption effect is in different countries ultimately depends on how well your own team performs. Should the kickers of the outgoing national coach Jogi Low manage a new edition of the “summer fairy tale” from 2006 or 2014, the consumer mood in Germany is likely to jump even stronger. In the betting offices, however, the Löw team is only considered an outsider this time. In the past, winning a World Cup or European Championship title not only boosted consumption, but also infected the stock markets. The stock market of the respective European or world champions usually developed better than the MSCI World Index after the tournaments. DIW economist Wagner, however, considers the psychological impulse to be the most important: “We will get a demonstration that we have the pandemic largely under control in Europe. That will be an important signal.”

The study suggests that the “hot spots” will be places where horseshoe bats live and have factors that make the risk of corona virus spread to humans and outbreaks into epidemics. This study does not provide additional information about the SARS-CoV-2 virus, but rather points to locations where similar corona viruses may appear in humans in the future. The study results show that southern China is a very high-risk place, and urges us to reduce risk factors, such as reducing deforestation, not just deal with the virus when it has become an epidemic. . Perfect combination” Research by the Intergovernmental Policy-Science Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), a German NGO, shows the number of outbreaks caused by zoonotic diseases object is on the rise. Accordingly, it is humans who are the cause of this increase, through deforestation and destruction of natural ecosystems. At least a third of disease outbreaks since 1960, including Ebola, have been linked to changes in human land use, the report said. Deforestation is one of the many causes of the increasing number of zoonotic diseases being transmitted to humans. Photo: Greenpeace. As humans encroach on natural forest land, the risk of humans coming into contact with wild animals, as well as the pathogens they carry, increases. Newly published research reinforces this hypothesis, as it shows that the risk of humans coming into contact with wildlife increases if the area of ​​primary forest is reduced by 25%. In addition, the destruction of natural habitats also causes disease-carrying species, such as bats and rodents, to become more numerous. Scientists also warn that the occupation of forest land is just one of many causes of zoonotic diseases spreading to humans. High population density, as well as large-scale livestock production, are two other factors that increase the risk. That’s because pets can catch diseases from wild animals or become vectors of disease to humans. The risks to industrial farms are even greater, where large numbers of livestock live in small spaces, and these animals are often less resistant. Outbreak “hot spots” Paolo D’Odorico, a professor at the University of California, Berkeley and co-author of the study, said that most research on corona viruses currently focuses on human-to-human transmission, not on the possibility of elimination. This virus is transferred from animals to humans. Therefore, he and his colleagues collected data on forest land occupation, livestock density, population density and a number of other factors and compared it with the habitat of horseshoe bats in Asia and Africa. Europe. Horseshoe bats are considered to be carriers of a large number of corona viruses, including a species closely related to the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The “hot spots” of potential coronavirus outbreaks are shown in dark red. Photo: Natural Food. The results of the study are represented by a map, in which dark red dots represent areas with a high risk of corona virus spreading to people. In contrast, the blue dots indicate places where there are relatively few conditions for disease outbreaks. Professor David Hayma, another co-author of the study, said that the main concern is that large areas of southern China are still at high risk for a new disease from the corona virus to emerge. In addition, the scientists also pointed out that some areas, including Shanghai, Japan and the Philippines, are at risk of becoming “hot spots” if deforestation continues. “We need surveillance in these areas to prevent the emergence of new diseases,” Hayman said. How to prevent a new outbreak? Scientists estimate that as many as 1.7 million virus species have not been detected in mammals and birds, and half of them have the potential to spread to humans. Professor Andrew Dobson of Princeton University, thinks that the Covid-19 epidemic is a wake-up call for us. “The most important thing is to figure out what we can do to reduce the likelihood of similar events happening,” said Dobson, arguing that we should start from stopping deforestation. Horseshoe bats are considered to carry many pathogens and are capable of spreading to humans. Photo: Wall Street Journal. Professor Dobson said that people living in “hot spots”, such as in southern China, should “put pressure on politicians” to introduce appropriate policies and mechanisms to protect forests. The cost of protecting forests will be much lower than the price we pay each time a pandemic breaks out, IPBES research shows. Besides, experts also warn that the livestock industry should take appropriate measures to prevent livestock from being infected. At the same time, they also call for a greater focus on the earth’s ecosystems. “We knew how to launch rockets into space decades ago. But understanding how diseases spread from animals to humans is a much more difficult problem,” Professor Dobson commented.

That habit is also very close to nature and animals. This is how pigeons, storks, herons, and many other birds raise their young. The mother bird looks for food and temporarily swallows it into the kite, when she returns to the nest, she sees the baby birds’ beaks wide open and chirping, and then feeds them one by one. The image is very beautiful and rich in motherly love. There have been many realistic, touching photos and videos recording those scenes. At this point, I remember a very impressive passage of writer Mo Yan in his greatest novel: “Treasures of life”. In that novel, there was a mother with many children living in a time of famine, when she worked in a food processing factory, she secretly swallowed the corn kernels to fill her stomach, then when she got home, she stuck her hand out and vomited. in and out of a basin of water. Wash the corn and then the mother cooks for the children to eat so they don’t starve to death! It’s normal for Vietnamese mothers to feed their children rice for a long time, and I am the child who has grown up from those fresh pieces of rice. Rice with Vietnamese people is of course the most important food, like bread with Europeans and Americans. People eat boring rice all their life and never get bored. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are simply called “eating rice” because the most important and most important ingredient in meals is rice. Vegetables, meat, and fish are side dishes or sometimes sticky rice is present on the occasion of the New Year’s anniversary, it is called eating for fun, changing meals. To be able to eat rice for Vietnamese people means being healthy and feeling normal. If you can’t eat rice, it means you are sick or your body has abnormal symptoms. In the past, when someone was sick, people used to ask: “Have you eaten yet?”. The answer is that if you can eat rice, everything is better, the patient gradually gets better. Cooking is one of the most important skills that signals a child’s growth. In the past, every house cooked rice with a wood stove or more expensively with a charcoal stove. Cooking skills include measuring the rice in the jar, how many bowls, cows (tubes) of rice are enough for the family to eat, that is not counting the filling of cassava, potatoes or other things. Measure out the rice and put it in a bamboo basket to wash it clean. The rice washing operation involves stirring the rice in a bowl of water to remove the grains, gravel, husks or fat weevils that live parasitically in the rice, leaving the rice a little whiter. Put the rice in the pot, you also need to measure the water level so that it is just enough. Because less water, the rice is dry, more water, the rice is mushy. Children often dip their index fingers into the rice cooker to calculate the water level according to their mother’s instructions. Put the rice cooker on the fire or charcoal stove and adjust the heat to the right degree. If the fire is too low, the rice will take a long time to boil, the rice grains will swell up into small mountains in the pot, the rice will be bland and bursting. If the fire is too big, especially when it’s boiling, the rice will burn. When the rice is completely boiled, use chopsticks to stir it once so that the water and rice are evenly mixed and cooked easily. When the rice cooker is boiling, open the lid to prevent the water from overflowing and watching the bubbles rise is very eye-catching. When the water dries up, these boils leave small suckers like squirrel holes in the mud. Rice is a rather special processed food, seventy percent of the rice is cooked when the water is boiling, the remaining thirty percent is cooked by the heat when brewing. When the rice cooker runs out of water, take out some firewood to cook the rice. Charcoal to rhyme must also be enough, too much, the rice will be burned, but too little will be raw. When the child can cook a pot of rice that is not dry and not crushed, it is considered to have met the requirements. The skill of cooking rice is not done once or twice, but must be practiced, observed and experienced. If careless, subjective, it is easy to lead to the situation: Above live, below, and all sides are squishy! People also often ask each other’s children with the question: What does your son know how to do? Yes, I already know how to cook. “Know how to cook rice” is a very proud phrase and the children of the old days, both boys and girls, had to learn to cook rice. Cooking rice with a cast iron pot, a wood stove, is more fragrant and delicious. When the rice is cooked, remove the trays and bowls, the whole family sits around. As soon as the rice cooker is opened, the heat rises up like smoke, use bamboo chopsticks to beat the rice evenly and then pour it into each bowl for everyone. The person sitting at the top of the pot is usually the parent, when the children grow up, the oldest sibling takes that position instead of the parents. The person sitting at the top of the pot is very important because it is important to regulate the amount of rice for the whole family and divide it appropriately (basically, the rice is too little and sometimes a lot of cassava is stuffed to eat to fullness). The sentence: “Eat the pot, sit and watch the direction” also arose from this fact. If there is a father in the house who likes to eat burnt rice, the person who cooks the rice needs to perform a few more steps. In order to have a golden and crispy array of burnt rice, it is necessary to cook rice in a cast iron pot because cast iron is a good heat-retaining thing and is often molded thickly, cooking rice is very convenient. In order to have a delicious fire, when the rice is cooked, it is necessary to keep the amount of charcoal a little more incubated and maintain it for a longer time. The process of creating a fire is an art because sometimes the pieces are too thin, too young or burnt black, as well as having to choose the right type of rice. It is a genuine traditional burnt rice, not like the type of burnt rice that is made by machine, puffed and fried like now. Of course, the pleasure of having a crispy layer of burnt rice for dessert is only available in wood stoves and charcoal stoves. Now, cooking rice is so easy, there is a rice cooker, just put rice and water in the pot, plug in the power, press the button and you’re done. The rice cooker has been calculated and programmed, no need to open the lid to see if the rice is boiling or cooked. When the cooking process is complete, the rice cooker will signal and eat like that. A grain of rice that is treasured by a sun and two dew to work does not leave anything behind. The rice that is not eaten is called cold rice and can be roasted the next morning for the whole family to make breakfast. Fried rice requires eggs, a little bit of fat, a little onion, and fish sauce and is also the most popular breakfast gift of hard times. Now, fried rice has entered the restaurant as a familiar delicacy because very few people roast rice at home. If not roasted, then the cold rice will be the seat for the next meal, when the rice cooker runs out of water to suck the hole, pour the cold rice on top and steam it. If you do not want to do this, the excess rice can be dried in the sun, put in a sealed jar to save as dry food, when used, add a little sugar and fat to turn into a crispy, sweet snack to eat when you are sad. . Even if the rice is completely stale, people do not throw it away, it is used to raise batches, a very typical sour and sour condiment in Vietnamese cuisine, the taste is softer and more characteristic than vinegar. In the old days, almost every house had a batch pot in the corner of the kitchen, now many people cook sour dishes without giving them a batch as if the dish has lost a significant part. Although ordinary rice is common, it goes well with almost all other dishes. The poor eat rice with sesame salt, peanut salt, salted eggplant, crab soup. Even with a bowl of white rice, just sprinkle a little fish sauce and mix well enough to warm the stomach of the poor. More than that, eat rice with braised fish, spring rolls, spring rolls, soup, braised meat. If you have a bowl of plain rice in your stomach, you will be sure, working all day without worrying, thinking about other things. That’s why there’s a saying: “If you’re hungry, you’ll want sticky rice / If you’re full of rice, then stop all the way”. Sticky rice is the main food, the most important foundation in Vietnamese meals. People eat rice every day, so familiar that it is not necessary to remember when it came from and how to cook rice. Like that for thousands of generations, rice has become a close and indispensable friend of Vietnamese people. And isn’t the grain of rice like our parents?

Veraverbeke, an Earth scientist at Vrije University in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, said the satellite had captured images of “zombie fires” – which are remnants of a great fire from the previous year. When people thought they had handled the fire, they still “survived” silently underground for a whole year, waiting through the winter to flare up again. Zombie fires have broken out many times over the past decades and tend to happen more and more often. (Photo: National Geographic) Zombie fires have broken out many times over the past decades and tend to happen more and more often. Mr. Veraverbeke’s team found that their occurrence is strongly linked to climate change. The fact that the summer is getting hotter and longer with a series of large fires increases the rate of spawning zombie fires. The proliferation of these “zombies” shows that the Arctic is changing rapidly under the influence of climate, and is a warning bell for more serious disasters in the future. The fact that the summer is getting hotter and longer with a series of large fires increases the rate of spawning zombie fires. (Image: Getty Images) Hibernation in peat More than 16,187 square kilometers of the Arctic is covered with peat, which stores an estimated 415 billion tons of carbon, equal to the total amount of carbon found in all trees on Earth. As summer approaches, fires formed by lightning strikes or humans will burn directly above the peat above ground. “ These are ancient soils. Peat in Siberia is really very old ,” said Jessica McCarty, an Arctic scientist at the University of Miami, Ohio. Once peat is ignited, they can provide a medium for a fire to smolder underground long after the surface fire is extinguished. Fires sustained by peat can burn for days, weeks, months, even years. When the right time comes, they will once again flare up into great fires, like undead zombies. “ Peat has everything a fire needs to sustain itself. Fires can burn quite strong enough to last through the winter. They’ll essentially ‘hibernate’ until next spring, when the snow melts and gives a chance for fires to flare up in the ground.” , said researcher Rebecca Scholten from VU Amsterdam. Once peat is ignited, they can provide a medium for a long smoldering underground fire. (Photo: Sentinel Hub) What’s different about fire in the Arctic? From 2000 to 2010, fires consumed more than 50% of the Arctic every year. Over the next 10 years, the annual fire area continued to increase, especially in Alaska. Through the data, scientists found that the current frequency of fires in the Arctic is the highest since the first forest formed in this area about 3,000 years ago, maybe even the highest in 10,000 years. by. Wildfires in the Arctic produce more carbon than places like California or Europe, because the subsoil under high-latitude forests is often made up of old, carbon-rich peat. In 2020, the Arctic fires released nearly 250 megatons of carbon dioxide, about half the carbon emitted by humans in a year in Australia and about 2.5 times more than the record-breaking 2020 bushfires. in California. Climate Change Zombie fires have long been known to experts. In 1941, a man-made fire along a railroad in Alaska consumed almost everything within a 1,600 square kilometer radius around it. By May 1942, the fire “revived” and burned about 1,200 square kilometers. But scientists haven’t been able to determine whether these zombie fires are well documented, or if they occur more frequently as the Arctic climate warms rapidly. They think the second case is very likely. “ We’ll definitely see more of them (zombie fires) based on what I’ve seen in 30 years of observation and consultation (other experts) ,” said Randi Jandt, a fire ecologist at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks. Jandt cited the great fire that burned more than 10,000 square kilometers in Alaska in 2019. Fire crews had to work around the clock to prevent the fire from spreading. But when they thought the disaster was over, the fire flared up again the following spring, just as the snow had melted. “ Just now you observe that the area is completely white of snow, but only two days later, the fire suddenly broke out in that very place. ,” said Mark Parrington, a researcher at the Copernicus Atmospheric Monitoring Service, describing the 2020 zombie fire in Alaska. Mr. Parrington said the frequency of fires in recent years in Alaska, Siberia and northern Canada have all increased sharply. “ In the past, firefighting in the Arctic didn’t get much attention because fires were rare, but that’s changing rapidly.” , said researcher Parrington. Wildfires in the Arctic produce more carbon than places like California or Europe. (Photo: Esquire Middle East) Another concern is how many zombie fires are buried underground, waiting to create a new disaster. Scientists say underground fires in the underground peat layer grow very slowly, only about 100 times faster than hair, so the possibility that fires from many years are still accumulating under the ground can be ruled out. land. Therefore, researchers only study fires in the past year. However, the increasing severity of fires shows that climate change is making the situation worse. The hot summer produces large fires that burn until the end of the season, and remnants of those are more likely to last through the winter. In the North West of the Arctic, zombie fires typically flare up every six of the hottest summers. In the summer of the cooler years, no zombie fire will make it through the next winter. “ There is a clear relationship between zombie fires and high temperatures and fire zones. That relationship pattern is only likely to intensify for the worse in the future, as climate change increases the likelihood of fires in the Arctic. “, said scientist Scholten.

The Grab side then denied the information, and sent an official notice to the driver partner about the normal deployment of services in areas permitted by local authorities. A fake news by the Vietnam Fake News Processing Center “whistle” The complicated development of the disease also makes a lot of information related to social isolation, blockade … have the opportunity to explode like mushrooms after rain. Recently, at 7:30 p.m. on May 4, a Facebook account named “Hanoi Pho” posted information: “Hanoi is open on the first day of the blockade” with an illustrative video. Through verification, the Inspector of the Department of Information and Communications of Hanoi confirmed that the content of the information posted above is untrue, violating the provisions of Article 5 of Decree No. 72/2013/ND-CP on management, provision and use of internet services and information on the network. This information has caused anxiety and insecurity for people, causing many people to prepare plans to hoard food, potentially causing market instability. Similarly, right after Ho Chi Minh City appeared more cases of Covid-19, on the evening of May 18, social networks also spread fake information about the “curfew” of the whole city from 10 pm. The Vietnam Center for Handling Fake News under the Department of Radio, Television and Electronic Information – Ministry of Information and Communications, was just launched earlier this year but has continuously published fake information on the official website – tingia.gov.vn. Among them, the amount of fake news about the epidemic and fake accounts accounts for the most. This center asks people not to share fake information about the Covid-19 epidemic. At the same time, warning acts of fabricating or spreading information known to be false can be punished by imprisonment from 3 months to 1 year. The Ho Chi Minh City Center for Disease Control (HCDC) on the afternoon of May 21 also issued a warning to the community to raise their vigilance against cases of fake medical staff scams for bad purposes, avoiding the occurrence of serious health problems. unfortunate case of people and property. The incident stemmed from people’s complaints to HCDC about a strange message calling for concentrated isolation with the content: “You are currently on the list of people to be isolated, the isolation code is: xxxx, please contact the phone number xxx…”. Many websites and Fanpages fake businesses to cheat Vietnam Fake News Processing Center 2 days ago also issued a warning about a fake website of the Vietnam Export-Import Commercial Joint Stock Bank (Eximbank). Accordingly, this fake website uses the name, image, logo design, color … of Eximbank with the domain name eximbank.xyz to confuse users. Currently, Eximbank has an official website under the domain name https://www.eximbank.com.vn . Not long ago, a website with the domain name www.vietnamairslines.com was also set up with the purpose of pretending to be the official website of Vietnam Airlines as vietnamairlines.com to scam. user.

With the record-high new Covid-19 cases, a nation of 1.3 billion people needs huge amounts of medical oxygen every day to cater to the treatment of its patients. This has caused a boom in the black market oxygen trade, where only the very rich can afford it, and families desperately looking for oxygen for loved ones with Covid-19 are susceptible to scams. “On the black market, an oxygen tank, which costs between $ 81 and $ 135 depending on size, is currently being pushed up to $ 812 to $ 1,354. This condition is an indirect cause of the death of patients who have no relationship or money, ”said Divyansh Pandey (25 years old) volunteer in the state of Uttar Pradesh, said. Medical oxygen in India has become an expensive commodity due to the soaring cases of Covid-19. Photo: Getty. The average price of a medical oxygen on the black market, about $ 1,080, is higher than the average monthly income of 1% of the country’s richest people. Conventional drugs, which cost $ 67, are now pushed up to $ 810. Pandey has helped dozens of Covid-19 patients find hospital beds, medical oxygen, oxygen generators and essential medicines. Pandey said he was forced to consider the supply from the black market after repeatedly failing to find and buy the items at the original prices. “The saddest thing is that the black market is openly open and hoarders casually sell it on social media. Non-governmental organizations and official sources often distribute these items for free or sell at original prices, but in small quantities and often out of stock quickly, sometimes within an hour. ” Crisis India currently records more than 20 million cases of SARS-CoV-2, more than 220,000 deaths. Experts say the reason for this dire number is the lack of beds and medicine. “When demand is too much and supply is insufficient, we are forced to sell imported oxygen generators for 10 times the price,” said an anonymous supplier at the Delhi black market. According to data submitted by the Indian government to the Supreme Court, the country has three times more medical oxygen than it needs in 12 states, with about 16,000 tons of liquid oxygen to meet the estimated demand of 4,880. tons last week. However, activists point out that the system only monitors hospital resources, not those needed by Covid-19 patients in home isolation. Although Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that oxygen production has increased 60% to address the crisis, volunteers and suppliers pointed out that problems such as transportation and logistics could hinder the arrival of oxygen cylinders. people’s hands. The price of medical oxygen in the black market has been pushed up many times because of the high demand. Photo: AFP. The lack of oxygen has even made many Indians recklessly experiment with making oxygen at home. At the end of April, many YouTubers posted videos showing people how to make oxygen using easy-to-find sources, available at home. Many of these are new high school students. “We created oxygen in the lab before using electrolysis and easy-to-find chemicals like potassium permanganate and hydrogen peroxide,” said Kirtharth Tiwari (16), whose video received more than 50,000 views. . Then, Tiwari also made the next video instructing people how to filter oxygen to use, avoiding the risk of an exothermic reaction by using a cold storage bag. “Two people reached out and said that following my instructions worked,” said Rahul Soni, another YouTuber with more than 300,000 video views. However, experts warn against doing such experiments at home because it can lead to dangerous explosions. YouTube has removed both videos for violation of community guidelines. Last week, the Delhi High Court ordered the state government to cut back to stop the proliferation of a “black oxygen” market. However, the situation is still developing complicatedly.

Ordinary day of a family vegetable garden owner in Caffarella park At the same time, the Mantagnota Residential Management Board, which manages the flower gardens of the large Tre Fontane Park, has received more and more applications for land. Here’s an interesting fact: the subjects of greatest interest are citizens between the ages of 20 and 30. The epidemic epidemic among young people is not only encouraged by the prospect of planting and taking care of the family’s clean vegetable garden by themselves, but also by the 23 thousand square meter community space. Everyone there cultivates together – weeding, making soil, sowing seeds, planting and watering vegetables, taking care of cleaning, collecting waste. For many, this is a unique opportunity, to reestablish the feeling of being part of the social network, or the community. – Since the first social gap, up to now, the number of Roma families owning a family garden has increased by 30%, said Andrea Messori of the Family Garden Association. The social divide forced many public venues, including restaurants, cinemas, museums or galleries, where a large number of Italians spent their free time, forced to close. At the same time, countless cultural and sports events have to be canceled, foreign tours have to be delayed indefinitely, so it’s no surprise, when residents of Vinh City are eagerly looking for a new way to spend. free time. More and more people are participating in outdoor activities. Cultivating clean vegetables in the home garden is one of those activities. Ngoc Bau ( Włosi chcą mieć własne ogródki działkowe.

The Chinese will make a total of 200 million trips during this period. This is the record number of the holiday season 1/5. Tickets to the Palace Museum in Beijing during the 5-day holiday season have been sold out. Disneyland Shanghai also sold out. The booming demand for travel has made many people unable to buy plane or train tickets to change their plans. Entrepreneur Victor Li, 32, decided to drive from Beijing to Taiyuan (in Shanxi province) to visit his family. A car ride will take 7 hours, while a train ride will only take 3 hours. Tourists at Baiyun international airport, Guangzhou on April 26. Photo: Bloomberg. CCTV reported that the 12306 railway ticket service sold 3.15 million tickets on May 1 from two weeks ago. 12306’s application is sometimes paralyzed because of the overwhelming number of visitors. The average airfare doubled over the same period in 2019, to 1,050 yuan ($ 162). “The 5-day holiday will completely relieve the demand for flying that has been held back for a long time (because of the Covid-19 translation),” said Shang Kejia, representative of the Civil Aviation Administration of China. “The International Labor Day Golden Week is the right time for consumers to travel across the country”.

Road 20 Quyet Victory begins at milestone 0 in the South of Xuan Son ferry, Son Trach commune, Bo Trach district, Quang Binh, crosses the top of Truong Son at parallel 17020 at km65 of the Vietnam-Laos border. When passing Lung Bang, the road 128 meets the shortened section connecting to Road 9, which is a focal point in the legendary HCM highway system. At exactly 17:00 on the 30th of the Lunar New Year of the Horse, 1966 the first explosion that opened the way was exploded. With more than 8,000 TNXP soldiers with a fleet of vehicles, engines and mines, breaking the completed road at a record speed, clearing the traffic on April 27, 1966. The road was named Duong 20 Quyet Victory because most of the officers and soldiers who opened the way were in their 20s. Milestone number 0 of the legendary 20 road. Photo: Xuan Nha Realizing the importance of this route, the American enemy raided them frantically. Right from Xuan Son ferry, the first point entering the road became a coordinates of fire, a bomb bag of the United States. Ferry A is Xuan Son ferry and ferry B is Nguyen Van Troi ferry located near Phong Nha cave and 4km apart, becoming two key points of fierce attack. During the day, L19 aircraft will scout and observe along the river bank. At night, C130 aircraft release parachute lights and flares all night to find targets to attack. The most severe was in May 1967, losing pain in the battlefield of the South, so the American enemy attacked more and more to cut the way for our aid. At Xuan Son ferry, they allowed aircraft to carpet bombs, drill bombs, time bombs, cluster bombs, and magnetic bombs day and night to plow to paralyze the banks. At other points on the road there was no moment of peace. The old Xuan Son ferry, now a residential ferry. Photo: Xuan Nha After a series of fierce bombs on the road, there were TNXP soldiers who rushed to patch the road for traffic for the South. Hundreds of soldiers fell in places such as: Km 0, Dong Tien slope, Tra Ang underground, Ba Thang slope, Khe Diem. In such fierce points as in the A-corner, the enemy destroyed 3,020 games (with 270 B52 matches). Following the A-line is the Ta Le underground and the Phu La Nhich pass with the length of 8km (ie the ATP key point) the enemy hit more than 10,000 times (2,450 times B52). One day, they mobilized 93 airplanes (8 B52 turns) to drop bombs on ATP. Nearly 200 officers and soldiers fell for this route to be clear. Death to clear the road In May 1967, the US imperialists sprayed bombs, making Xuan Son ferry blocked. Faced with the urgent situation of destroying the traffic bomb for the ferry terminal, Corporal Vo The Chon voluntarily opened a blood road. At 10:00 a.m. on May 16 (lunar calendar), everyone bowed their heads, wiped tears for peace for Corporal Chon during the live chorus ceremony before he stepped onto a canoe in the middle of the Son River to destroy the magnetic bomb. . The man in his 20s drove a canoe and plunged into the bombing field from the school. The canoe circled around, then two times after that there were loud explosions, ripping Son’s line with sky-high columns of water. After those loud explosions there was a silence and then all burst into the cheering applause of his comrades welcoming Corporal Chon. That brave man from Ly Hoa village has successfully completed the task. Even that night, 300 cars hurriedly passed the ferry in time to reach the South. Trang Ang intersection, street 20. Photo: Xuan Nha At Km 16 + 200 on Road 20 there was not a single day to stop the roar of enemy aircraft and the sound of bombs. Nearby, km 16.5 there is a rocky cave that when the plane crashes or raids 8 girls TNXP often runs into shelter. Since then, the warrior brothers often called this cave the eight-female cave. And that same stone cave has become the cave of fate of 8 people. In the afternoon of November 14, 1972, when it was discovered that B52 was spreading carpets, 8 TNXPs from Team 163, Ban 67 were on duty on the road (including 4 boys and 4 girls) ran back to the cave to shelter. An anti-aircraft artillery platoon consisting of 5 soldiers also maneuvered the battlefield near the cave entrance to organize a counter-force. A series of crazy bombs of the American enemy crushed the road, killing the gun squad on the spot and knocking down the cave where 8 TNXPs took refuge, trapping the soldiers in the cave. Or believe that, immediately combat forces in the area all came to the rescue. knowing that the soldiers in the cave were still alive, but because the cave’s boulders were too heavy, all vehicles and tractors did not budge. The blasting plan was not accepted because the pressure of the mines would immediately kill the soldiers in the cave, revealing the target for the enemy aircraft to return to attack. Finally, the teammates had to prolong the life in the cave by bringing the milk porridge into the cave through the tunnel through the rocks. Eight harsh days, the soldiers struggled with life deprived of oxygen in the cave. On the ninth day, the people standing outside the cave entrance choked when they came out of the cave with a girl’s faint “bruise” call. Then 8 TNXPs in the cave sent greetings to life at the age of 20. They are: Tran Thi To 18 years old, Le Thi Mai 20 years old, Do Thi Loan 20 years old, Le Thi Luong 19 years old and Nguyen Van Hue 20 years old, Nguyen Van Phuong is 20 years old, Nguyen Mau Ky is 20 years old, Hoang Van Vu is 20 years old. All are from Hoang Hoa, Thanh Hoa. Historical relic of Eight-year-old cave. Photo: Xuan Nha Road 20 now runs in the heart of Phong Nha – Ke Bang world natural heritage. This road has been upgraded to become the transportation lifeline of the people of Thuong Trach and Tan Trach communes of Bo Trach district, Quang Binh. These are two communes inhabited by 5 ethnic groups including Ma koong, Sach, Muong, Ca Rai and A Rem. On this road there are two ranger stations stationed at km27 and km39 to protect the national forest of Phong Nha – Ke Bang. Currently, the road plays a very important role in the lives of ethnic minorities living on the road, but it also has enormous historical significance in a legendary road.

Recently, an investment of over $ 200 million has been made to build a mine in the US. This trend is increasing rapidly in North America, according to CoinShares chief strategy officer Meltem Demirors. In March, the US state of Kentucky also passed two bills to reduce taxes for cryptocurrency miners, in order to attract more local workers. With capital released, the construction of a large-scale Bitcoin mining industry in North America has never been so explosive. What happened? China now accounts for 65% of the global Bitcoin mining size, compared with just 7.24% for the US. The exact number may not be the same according to reports from the US and China, but the fact is that the US is far behind on this front. China accounts for 65% of the total global Bitcoin mining capacity (source: Cambridge University) In the early days of cryptocurrencies, American miners were still wondering if their hashrate was paid when contributing to the mining pool. In many cases, miners are paid less than their efforts. Since Bitcoin uses proof of work (PoW), the hash rate becomes what determines what percentage of the miner’s effort is paid off. Proof-of-Work ̣ (PoW) is a consensus algorithm created in the blockchain network, used to validate transactions and produce new blocks in the chain. Meanwhile, hash rate is a measure of the algorithmic ability of a cryptocurrency miner like Bitcoin. Because bitcoin mining involves solving algorithms to confirm transactions, it requires powerful equipment to help find the required hash in the shortest amount of time. But China started to exploit very quickly thanks to cheap labor and electricity prices without having to worry too much about external problems. The country currently leads the world, accounting for about 30% of hydroelectricity and 50% of its coal-fired power generation capacity. The problem of the environment In North America, any act of harmful to the environment is put on the radar of the activists. When the virtual currency craze exploded, Bitcoin mining, which consumes electricity and emits greenhouse gases, quickly became the focus of criticism. Meanwhile, electricity consumption for Bitcoin mining in China will peak at 296.59 TWh by 2024, according to Nature Communications. This exceeds total energy consumption in 2016 by Italy and Saudi Arabia combined. In March, the Bank of America criticized the consumption of one Bitcoin at a price of $ 50,000 for carbon emissions equivalent to 270 tons, equivalent to the internal combustion engines of 60 cars. The PoW mechanism causes Bitcoin transactions to require miners to compete for an algorithm to validate the block on the chain. In return, they are rewarded with Bitcoins for completing difficult problems. So, machines like the ASIC are specifically designed to do this, and they consume tremendous amounts of power. This is actually a security enhancement of PoW, not a bug. If the answers called hashes are too easy to solve, the blockchain network is vulnerable to attack by hackers. However, using a lot of energy isn’t necessarily a bad thing. A company called Crusoe Energy has developed technology to “capture” gas in the central atmosphere at oil wells and use it to power on-site data centers. The company deployed projects in Colorado, Montana, Wyoming, and North Dakota and resulted in a 72% reduction in CO2 emissions compared to burning it. Bitcoin mining is essentially power consuming because it runs 24/7 and needs stable and constant energy sources. Another advantage of Bitcoin is that it uses energy in places far from residential, like mining mines located in remote areas in Xinjiang, China. The big problem today is that Bitcoin is still using fossil fuels and enrich these companies. Only 39% of total energy consumption comes from renewable sources such as wind, water, and solar, according to research from Cambridge University. But even if Bitcoin mining runs entirely on renewable energy, it will create increasing demand for ASICs and disrupt the global supply chain of semiconductors. The end result is a pile of electronic waste that no single green energy source can deal with. The problem could be under control if the industry’s focus was shifted from China to the US, where environmental activists play an active role in curbing energy consumption and carbon emissions. school. Security risks? Aside from the environment, another danger lies in Bitcoin’s consensus mechanism with more than half of the network hashes located in China. That makes it possible for China to control the protocol and reverse transactions. This is a disgrace to Americans when the Internet revolution was initiated in the country of chess, but in the age of cryptocurrencies, China is in control of the game. Cryptocurrency attacks, known as 51% attacks, target a weakness in PoW’s consensus mechanism when a group of people has more than 50% of their hash power. In such attacks, the attacker does not actually steal the virtual currency, but just spends twice the amount he has by executing two transactions simultaneously to two different wallets and defrauding the system. But any exchange with good liquidity can prevent such an attack by setting a withdrawal limit. In the future, the competition of semiconductor chip factories creating more 4.0 shovels is expected to help this industry have global coverage. The end of PoW? Will the PoW mechanism be out of date? After all, Ethereum is emerging with the second largest market cap, preparing to move to a Proof-of-Stake mechanism that significantly reduces energy consumption and speeds up transactions. This mechanism makes it possible for one person to mine or validate block transactions by depositing virtual money into the network. This deposit is locked and returned to its owner after a set period of time, to prevent fraud. Even so, PoW in the 12 years of its existence has demonstrated its ability to prevent any cyberattacks. Meanwhile, PoS still needs time to experiment. Ethereum’s PoS transition phase, which is known as ETH 2.0, was planned 2 years ago and is expected to begin rolling out next July. The new hub of Bitcoin? Neither the US nor China, other emerging countries could soon outperform both thanks to more renewable energy and cheaper operating costs like India. America is thriving, but the gold mines in China cannot disappear overnight unless there are special government regulations.

A global customer survey conducted by Statista shows that Vietnam has the second highest cryptocurrency usage rate in the world, after Nigeria.

With millions of dollars traded every month, cryptocurrency exchanges are a good prey for cybercriminals. Fraudulent acts on electronic transactions include developer and investor information collection; attack with malware, phishing, malicious code, fake notification, navigate to fake website, DDoS … and steal electronic wallet security key.

A notorious cybercrime gang that targets cryptocurrencies is Lazarus and its members. Since 2019, Kaspersky researchers’ investigations show that Lazarus is behind the recent attacks in Singapore.

BlueNoroff, “family member” Lazarus specializing in the financial attack, is also said to be carrying out cryptocurrency-related attacks in Southeast Asia under the name SnatchCrypto.

The gang targeted banks, and was also accused of being involved in the theft of $ 81 million by Bangladeshi banks. Kaspersky researchers have been tracking SnatchCrypto since the end of 2019 and found that the guys behind the campaign have resumed operations with a similar strategy.

Chris Connell, Managing Director of Kaspersky Asia Pacific said: “In the near future there will be more new crypto investors across Southeast Asia as the bargains from different cryptocurrencies are undeniable, and Vietnam is one of the countries that are at the forefront of this transformation.

The development of cryptocurrencies is an integral part of digital transformation in the region and in Vietnam, so we encourage individuals who access these financial technologies to have a basic knowledge of security measures to keep our cryptocurrency safe ”.

Experts at Kaspersky share some basic ways to protect yourself against cybercriminals on cryptocurrency exchanges:

– Transaction research: Before investing, learn about cryptocurrency exchanges. These platforms provide the means for buying and selling virtual currency units, but there are over 500 transactions to choose from. Do research, read feedback and talk to experienced investors before going any further.

– Know how to keep your virtual currency: After purchasing cryptocurrency, you need to keep it. There are different types of wallets, each with different benefits, technical requirements and security. When trading, you should research your storage options before you invest.

– Diversification of investment: Diversification is the key to any smart investing strategy, and so is when you invest in cryptocurrencies. Don’t put all your capital into Bitcoin just because it’s the only name you know. There are thousands of options, and it’s best to divide your investments by a few different currencies.

– Prepare for instability: Cryptocurrency is a volatile market, be prepared for volatility. You will see amazing fluctuations in prices. If your investment ability or mental health cannot tolerate volatility, then cryptocurrencies may not be a wise investment.

Cryptocurrency is booming, but it’s still in its infancy. Investing in something new always presents challenges, so be prepared. If you are planning to invest, do your research carefully and invest carefully.

– Always give security: Transacting using your home network is safer than using a public network, but you need the right security. For starters, it’s a good idea to change the default router password because the root password is usually the same for all routers of the same model, making your WiFi vulnerable to attack.

In any case, it is best to do all electronic transactions over an encrypted VPN channel, which will add an extra layer of security.

When choosing a VPN service, pay attention to the connection speed (depending on the number and quality of the server group of the provider).
