retail trade Constant dispute about the closing time

Status: 21.06.2021 5:43 p.m.

25 years ago, the Bundestag approved longer shop opening times. But to what extent do more flexible rules benefit retail – and what price do employees pay? The debate continues.

From Jens Eberl, WDR

When Berliners want to go shopping in Bavaria, they might find themselves in front of closed doors every now and then. Berliners are used to having shops open around the clock. And Bavaria, on the other hand, has the shortest opening times in Germany. Since 2006, responsibility for regulating shop closing times lies with the federal states. The federal store closing law only applies in the federal states that have not passed their own store opening law; and that is the case in Bavaria. According to the Federal Store Opening Act, sales are allowed Monday to Saturday from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Bakeries are allowed to open from 5.30 a.m. In Rhineland-Palatinate and Saxony, the shops are allowed to open from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., in the other federal states, 0 a.m. to midnight.

“The job can hardly be planned any more”

Have the more flexible opening times proven effective? The balance sheets are very different. Stefan Genth, chief executive of the retail trade association (HDE), says that liberalization was an important and right step. “Especially in the food retail sector, customers like to use the longer opening times to shop later in the evening after the working day and to take a look around.” The service union ver.di, on the other hand, speaks of a massive deterioration in working conditions. “Due to the long opening times, the employees are required to be much more flexible, the job can hardly be planned,” says Federal Board Member Stefanie Benefitberger. Compared to the past, there are many more part-time workers; the longer opening times have not led to the creation of full-time jobs. “There are simply fewer staff available for advice in the store, so that the opening times can be covered,” says Benefitberger. “Two thirds of those employed in retail are women. The expansion of part-time work and employment that is not subject to social security contributions are at their expense and mean that they are dependent on basic security in old age.”

Jobs for millions of people

The industry association contradicts: Liberalization has increased the need for labor in the retail sector. “Particularly in the food trade, additional jobs were created in order to be able to cover the evening and night hours,” said HDE General Manager Genth. Overall, the retail trade in Germany today offers more than three million people a job.

The union also sees a connection between the dying inner cities and the long opening times. There was a big cutthroat competition, so ver.di board member Benefitberger. “Four corporations make around 80 percent of sales in foodstuffs, three corporations make almost 90 percent of sales in drugstore articles.” Not every company was able to go along, especially smaller shops should have closed that way.

Sunday opening as an economic aid?

In the current discussion about shop opening times, the main focus is currently on Sunday. The trade association, the association of towns and municipalities and Marcel Fratzscher, head of the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW), have signed up for a general Sunday opening until Christmas – as an economic aid for the industry, which has been hard hit by Corona.

“In many other areas of the economy, opening on Sundays is a matter of course. In restaurants and pubs it is part of everyday life that the doors are also wide open on Sundays. The same is true of theaters, cinemas or museums worked on Sundays, “said industry representative Genth. “Only in the retail sector, as a rule, everything has to be closed on Sundays. That is no longer in keeping with the times.”

Resistance in court too

But the trade union ver.di is massively resisting further liberalization, which is why it repeatedly goes to court. The advance of the HDE is a “general attack” on the trade workers, their families, and the Basic Law. “The HDE thinks too short-sightedly when it hopes to liven up the city centers and shops with shopping Sundays,” said union Benefitberger. “Because just because it is open longer, people cannot spend more money. Sunday sales only move sales from working days to Sunday.”

At the moment, shops generally have to close on Sundays and public holidays. There are exceptions, for example, for bakeries, flower shops, newsagents, petrol stations and shops in train stations and airports

The tweet that the Tesla CEO released Sunday was part of an exchange with twitter users that omitted to refer to a CoinTelegraph article accusing him of “bitcoin manipulation.” Musk said that the company kept $1.5 billion of its initial investment in bitcoin, but sold about 10% to “confirm it’s easy to pay off.” [bằng bitcoin] without distorting the market”. Elon Musk has become a prominent and influential figure in the crypto world. He tweeted in May that Tesla would no longer accept bitcoin as a means of payment for its vehicles, citing the large amount of carbon emissions in bitcoin mining. esla will continue to allow transactions in bitcoin at the car manufacturer’s stores, once it is confirmed that the “mining” energy source is clean energy. Photo: Getty. This action is believed to be the cause of the sell-off of the world’s No. 1 cryptocurrency. Musk’s comments on the sustainability of bitcoin “mining” continue to resonate in the crypto community. A commonly cited metric from the University of Cambridge pegged the annual electricity consumption of bitcoin mining at around 99 terawatt-hours. This consumption is more than that of the Philippines or Pakistan. Some of Musk’s recent tweets have also sparked a mix of excitement, confusion, apprehension, and sometimes even fear in the crypto community. Earlier this month, investors attempted to analyze a mysterious tweet from SpaceX that included a bitcoin symbol and a broken heart emoji. The information that Elon Musk transmits has had a great influence on the price of dogecoin and bitcoin. Musk is also partly blamed for the current drop in bitcoin and the broader cryptocurrency complex. The Wall Street Journal has described him as the biggest influence on bitcoin. By the end of June 13, the bitcoin price was up nearly 8%, changing hands at $38,808.09 on CoinDesk. As of now, Bitcoin is up over 28% for the year but is down about 40% from its mid-April peak at $64,829.14. The world’s No. 2 cryptocurrency, Ethereum, gained nearly 5%, changing hands at $2,521.81. Back in February, Tesla revealed that it had acquired about $1.5 billion in bitcoin in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. At the time, Tesla paid about $38,000/bitcoin for each bitcoin. This is the average price at the time of Tesla’s Q4 conference on January 27. This conference did not mention any bitcoin holdings and the date of filing with the SEC. Overall, the prices of digital assets like bitcoin are outperforming traditional markets.

TWICE is currently comeback with the new album and as always, the group’s visuals are always controversial. Because obviously all 9 members’ physiques are outstanding, but the team stylist is not good, causing TWICE to be often drowned in beauty. Like tomato cheek makeup, for example. Many female idols look young, full of life with rosy cheeks. But TWICE’s makeup team often makes mistakes, applying too much powder too thick, making the girls’ cheeks red like a clown. From behind-the-scenes photos to appearing on television, TWICE attracts attention with their bright red cheeks that make the girls less beautiful. Netizens think that in reality, TWICE’s cheeks must be very dark, when they appear on the screen, they can clearly see such tomato cheeks. More importantly, the tomato cheek style has been applied to TWICE by makeup artists for a long time and no matter how much the audience comments, they have not changed. Many people complain that looking at TWICE with this makeup look is as old as being lost many decades ago, while looking smudged as if they were doing bad makeup because their cheeks suddenly turned pink. Everyone feels sorry because the TWICE girls all have very beautiful skin, brilliant beauty, but only because of makeup mistakes, they look much less beautiful. Even TWICE’s everyday photos look more youthful and eye-catching when they are carefully made-up.

Shot again! This time, Ganfeng Lithium aimed at the lithium mines in the Republic of Mali. By throwing 130 million US dollars, it acquired 50% of the shares of Dutch SPV and obtained the underwriting rights of its spodumene mine project in the Republic of Mali.

The Dutch company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Australian listed company Firefinch. Firefinch’s main business is the development of gold and lithium mines in Mali. Through its wholly-owned subsidiary Goulamina Holdings, it holds 100% of Timbuktu Resources and LMSA 100. % Equity.

After the completion of this investment, Ganfeng Lithium will obtain the underwriting right of 50% of the first phase of the Goulamina project with an annual production capacity of about 455,000 tons of spodumene concentrate.

If the company directly provides financial assistance or assists LMSA to obtain debt funds provided by third-party banks or other financial institutions, it can obtain the underwriting right of the remaining 50% of the project’s first phase.

01 Everything is for lithium

The U.S. Geological Survey’s 2018 report shows that the global lithium resources exceed 53 million tons, of which Argentina has 9.8 million tons, Bolivia has 9 million tons, Chile has 8.4 million tons, China has 7 million tons, the United States has 6.8 million tons, and Australia Occupies 5 million tons.

At present, China’s proven lithium resources (metal equivalent) reserves are 5.4 million tons, of which salt lake resources account for about 70% of the country’s total reserves, and ore resources account for about 30%. Despite recent progress in the technology of extracting lithium from salt lakes, it still faces problems such as high cost, high purification difficulty, and low output.

Domestic salt lakes are prohibitive, and most lithium material manufacturers have turned their attention overseas, choosing to extract lithium from clay and extract lithium from ore.

This is not the first time that Ganfeng Lithium has “goed to sea for lithium”. Just in May 2021, Ganfeng Lithium completed the capital increase of Bacanora, an overseas company, with a transaction amount of not more than 190 million pounds. After the transaction is completed, Ganfeng’s 17.41% stake in Bacanora increased to 28.88%.

Bacanora was established in 2018 and is listed on the AIM section of the London Stock Exchange in the United Kingdom. Its main asset is the lithium clay Sonora project in Mexico. The Sonora project is a lithium extraction project from lithium clay located in Mexico. It is currently one of the largest lithium resource projects in the world. The total lithium resource of the project is approximately 8.8 million tons of lithium carbonate equivalent. It is estimated that the annualized lithium hydroxide production capacity after the first phase of the project is put into operation will be 20,000 tons.

Ganfeng Lithium’s road of seeking lithium goes far beyond that. The time goes back to November 20, 2012. Its subsidiary Ganfeng International and Canadian International Lithium Co., Ltd. signed the “Ireland Blackstair Lithium Mine Project Equity Agreement” to obtain Lithium International has no less than 51% equity in the Blackstair lithium mine project in Ireland.

The Irish Blackstair lithium mine project is located in the Irish Leinster lithium pegmatite ore belt 80 kilometers south of Dublin. This pegmatite belt extends more than 50 kilometers and currently has eight exploration licenses within 292 square kilometers. The project did small-scale exploration in the 1970s and found 19 lithium deposits, which are still under exploration.

In 2016, Ganfeng International began its journey to acquire RIM in Australia. In March 2019, Ganfeng International completed the acquisition and eventually held 50% of RIM. Li Liangbin served as a director of RIM.

The RIM owns 100% of the Mt Marion spodumene project. The data shows that the MtMarion lithium mine project contains 6.75 million tons of lithium oxide. The project was officially put into production in February 2017. Ganfeng International and MtMarion signed a long-term underwriting agreement. From 2016 to 2019, Ganfeng Lithium will refer to the market. Price, all spodumene concentrates produced by underwriting lithium ore projects with a lithium oxide content of more than 6%.

In March 2019, Ganfeng International invested 50 million Australian dollars to subscribe for 77.634 million Pilbara private placement shares. After the completion of the transaction, Ganfeng International held 8.37% of Pilbara’s equity, became Pilbara’s single largest shareholder, and obtained the right to underwrite the spodumene concentrate.

According to the agreement, Pilbara will provide Ganfeng with a maximum of 150,000 tons of the second-phase expanded lithium concentrate after the construction of the second-phase project is put into operation. If Ganfeng provides an advance payment of no less than US$20 million for the expansion of the Pilbara Phase III project, Pilbara will provide Ganfeng with a maximum of 50,000 tons of lithium equivalent after the construction of the Phase III project. Produce lithium concentrate.

In January 2017, Ganfeng International subscribed for 75 million new shares of Lithium Americas Corp. (“America Lithium”) with its own funds at a price of 0.85 Canadian dollars per share. The transaction amount was 49 million US dollars. This transaction After completion, Ganfeng International holds a 19.9% ​​stake in American Lithium and provides development loans not exceeding US$125 million in total.

The core assets of Lithium America are the Cauchari Salt Lake Project in Jujuy Province, Argentina and the Clay Lithium Extraction Project in Nevada, USA.

Looking back at history, it seems that Ganfeng’s global exaggeration has never stopped. Lithium resources are tight and I dare not slow down. Every acquisition costs a huge amount of money. Where does the money come from?

02 Part of the shareholder’s shares released from the pledge

In addition to a small portion of its own funds, the expansion of Ganfeng Lithium still relies on external funds. The founders have long obtained external funds through equity pledges, and the financial leverage is smooth.

On June 14, 2021, Ganfeng Lithium issued an announcement on the release of the pledge of shareholders’ shares. There were two shares that were released from the pledge, one of 2.25 million shares, and the pledge date was from 2018-11-9 to 2021-6- 10; The other is 1.74 million shares, and the pledge date is from 2019-1-14 to 2021-6-10. Both pledges are from the company’s founder Li Liangbin, and the pledge holder is Jiangxi State-owned Venture Capital Management Co., Ltd.

After the pledge was lifted, Li Liangbin and those acting in concert still had pledged shares outside. The accumulated pledged shares amounted to 61.56 million shares, accounting for 21.24% of his shares and 4.43% of the company’s total equity.

The release of the pledge of shares shows that Ganfeng Lithium is currently full of cash flow, and the debt problems in the past are gradually declining. It also indirectly shows that the original creditors recognized the value of the shares of Ganfeng Lithium, otherwise they would not risk taking over.

Stock pledge is a financing method often used by listed companies, especially in the case of poor capital links and poor business operations, some major shareholders will prefer this financing method. If the pledge is not enough, the pledged stocks will be Selling to a bank or trust means that shareholders indirectly reduce their holdings to realize cash.

However, for some listed companies that do not perform well, the pledge of stocks for financing is extremely dangerous, and it may cause fire. Generally, both parties of the stock pledge will agree that if the price of the stock drops and touches the pledge liquidation line, the pledge institution will force the sale of the pledge. The stock price further caused the stock price to collapse.

For some listed companies with stable operations, stock pledge to finance is a more efficient and low financing cost. At least one’s own stock can be pledged, which is also a symbol of strength.

In recent years, most of the money from Ganfeng Lithium’s stock pledge financing is still used in two aspects, one is the layout of production capacity, and the other is the layout of upstream lithium resources.

Because of the continuous staking and enclosure, Ganfeng Lithium can stand out from the competitors, and the reserves of lithium resources in domestic listed companies have won the crown, as shown in the following figure:

It is worth mentioning that although Ganfeng Lithium has an upstream and downstream relationship with the Ningde era, the reserves of lithium resources in the Ningde era are not as good as those of Ganfeng Lithium. The Ningde era has also been paving the way for “lithium” in recent years. Lithium is worried and avoids getting stuck by lithium resources in the future. Ningde also introduced sodium batteries.

Not only that, the two have not established a direct cooperative relationship in business, but Ganfeng Lithium has established a long-term cooperative relationship with another lithium battery giant LG Chem.

Whether Ganfeng Lithium did not enter the Ningde era’s supply chain camp, or whether the two have indirectly cooperated through cathode material manufacturers, which is unclear.

In the e-commerce platform, iPhone 12 ushered in the lowest price since its release, which also greatly increased the sales of the phone.

Take Jingdong’s real-time sales list as an example, as of June 9th, iPhone 12 is still the king of the cumulative sales list, and it continues to occupy the top position. Presumably this phone can bring huge sales to Apple in the near future.

However, the domestic brand Huawei, which was once famous as Apple, was completely defeated in this 618 war. Not only did its cumulative sales lose to many manufacturers such as Apple and Xiaomi, the sales of single products were even more embarrassing. None of the TOP20 mobile phones are owned by Huawei.

Even the Huawei Mate 40 Pro, which is full of hopes by consumers, failed to make it to the single product list. You must know that when this phone was released last year, the popularity on the Internet had completely surpassed the iPhone 12.

Why did it cause this situation now? In the author’s opinion, there are mainly the following reasons, which are accumulated together, and finally formed the last straw that crushed Huawei’s mobile phone business.

The first is a serious core shortage problem, At present, Huawei’s chips have become the biggest problem, and when the ban will be lifted is still a mystery. In this context, Huawei has to artificially control the production capacity of mobile phones to extend the life cycle of mobile phones.

But the problem that the long-term control of goods ultimately leads to is that you can’t buy what you want. Until now, Huawei Mate 40 Pro is still out of stock. Occasionally released some panic buying out, but also quickly sold out.

Huawei, which has a serious shortage of goods, is naturally unable to actively participate in the 618 promotion. Under the influence of this factor, it also prevents Huawei from giving certain concessions to attract consumers to buy Mate 40 Pro.

and so The second reason is that the price is too high. Since its release in October last year, the price of Mate 40 Pro has never been significantly reduced, and the price has always been synchronized with the official price. The starting price of 6,499 yuan is also the main reason for discouraging many consumers.

On the other hand, actively participating in the big promotion iPhone 12, the price dropped from 6299 yuan to a thousand yuan, to the early 5,000 yuan, The price/performance ratio has been greatly improved.

So compared to iPhone 12, Huawei Mate 40 Pro is really not enough to attract consumers.

Finally, the product strength continues to weaken. Although the Mate 40 Pro has good performance in various aspects such as performance, imaging, and battery life, More and more high-end Android phones appeared, which obviously weakened the advantages of this phone.

Products like Xiaomi 11 series, OPPO FIND X3 series, OnePlus 9 series are powerful competitors of Huawei Mate 40 Pro. The image and fast charging have surpassed Huawei. Moreover, these mobile phones are also more competitive in terms of price. The person will inevitably make a comparison.

Affected by the above three reasons, Huawei Mate 40 Pro’s performance during the 618 period was finally mediocre. In contrast, the iPhone 12 will soon usher in the iOS 15 system upgrade, and the e-commerce platform has also given huge discounts. It will naturally become a best-selling hot item.

And iPhone 12 also has a huge upgrade, including the powerful A14 bionic chip, OLED screen and changes in the right-angle middle frame, etc., which are the key reasons to attract consumers to choose.

So on the whole, The iPhone 12 is more in line with consumers’ current needs in terms of price and performance. It is not surprising that Huawei now loses to Apple!

Of course, all of this is caused by Huawei’s sanctions. If the chip problem is resolved, I believe that Huawei still has a chance to overtake.

Do you think Huawei still has a chance to overtake Apple? Feel free to leave a message in the comment area and talk about your views!

The trial in Shenzhen in January awarded a reward of 20 million yuan. The People’s Bank of China (PboC) aims to be the first major central bank to issue an eCNY, part of an effort to internationalize the yuan and reduce its dependence on the global banking system without USD prevails. eCNY may also weaken Ant Group’s Alipay and Tencent’s WeChat Pay in payment systems.

According to iMore, the new concept of iPhone 13 was shared by YouTuber named ConceptiPhone. The iPhone 13 Mini, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro, and iPhone 13 Pro Max demo video shows off the powerful features and specs of these phones, and envisions the new colors they’ll be available in. Similar to previous leaks, the iPhone 13 series is envisioned to continue to use the notch design to house the selfie camera and the sensors for the Face ID feature on the front. However, this top notch has been optimized so it looks more compact than before. On the back, the iPhone 13 is envisioned to still have a square camera cluster located in the top left corner, but the lenses are arranged diagonally, not vertically like the previous generation. Interestingly, this phone is also envisioned to not have a Lightning port and rely entirely on wireless charging and data transfer technology. iPhone 13 is also expected to have up to 6 eye-catching color options.

Virginia and Tennessee are also experiencing significant blackouts. Colonial Pipeline’s main pipeline transporting gasoline and diesel to the US East Coast has been shut down, following a ransomware attack earlier this month.

Even people in Texas, in the Rio Grande Valley, are flocking to gas stations to fill up with fuel, when news of gas stations running out of fuel. Colonial Pipeline paid almost $5 million in ransom in the form of a cryptocurrency to the hackers. But 2 weeks after shutting down, some gas stations are still shutting down. In Georgia, according to AAA data, the average price of a gallon of regular retail gasoline was $2,944 as of May 20, up from $2,708 a month before the pipeline failure. In North Carolina, the average price for gasoline is $2,929 per gallon, compared with $2,627 a month ago.

Boeing suspends 737 MAX deliveries due to electrical problems. (Source: Rappler) The slow delivery process will affect Boeing’s cash flow, as airlines and customers often pay most of the order value after receiving the goods. The 737 MAX is Boeing’s best-selling plane, but has been grounded for 20 months after two crashes that killed 346 people. Deliveries of the aircraft resumed in November last year, after Boeing updated its flight control system. But now, about 100 737 MAX planes are still “on hold” because of an electrical fault, and it took Boeing longer than anticipated to fix the problem. Ed Pierson, a former Boeing production manager, said the electrical fault should have been discovered during the evaluation of the 737 MAX aircraft after the two crashes. He once “complained” to the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for focusing only on reviewing the flight control system without checking for other problems in the production process. Boeing said it received an order for 25 planes last month, but 17 of the 737 MAX planes were cancelled, leaving the number of planes ordered down to just eight. (according to Rappler)

The Boeing 737 MAX plane is about to land in a test flight in Seattle, Washington state, USA on June 29, 2020. Photo: AFP / VNA On May 11, Boeing said it delivered 17 planes in April, including four 737 MAX planes. Boeing CEO David Calhoun has warned that the number of aircraft delivered in April has been affected due to the aforementioned 737 MAX problem. The slow handover process will affect Boeing’s cash flow, as airlines and other customers typically pay a large portion of the value of their orders upon receipt. The 737 MAX is Boeing’s best-selling aircraft, but was banned for 20 months after two plane crashes that killed 346 people. Handover operations resumed last November after Boeing updated its flight control system. But now, about 100 737 MAX planes are waiting for an electrical fault, and it takes Boeing longer than expected to fix the problem. Ed Pierson, a former Boeing manufacturing manager, said the aforementioned electrical error should have been discovered during the assessment of the 737 MAX after two crashes. He has “complained” for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for focusing only on the flight control system without examining problems in the production process.

Businesses have difficulty when the Indian government suspends the license to import Wi-Fi devices According to Reuters sources, India delayed the approval of imports of Wi-Fi modules from China for several months. These include complete electronics like Bluetooth speakers, wireless headphones, smartphones, smartwatches, laptops, all of which contain a Wi-Fi module. The Wireless Planning and Coordination Agency (WPC) under the Ministry of Communications of India has suspended the license since November 2020. More than 80 applications from US, Chinese and Korean businesses are waiting. Even records from some domestic companies have the same fate. Tough stance on Chinese imports comes amid Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi calling for stronger economic self-sufficiency. His policies have helped spur the assembly of smartphones in the country. Reuters sources believe that the latest move by the government to persuade companies to allocate more electronics production in India. However, technology businesses are faced with a difficult situation: production in India requires a large amount of capital and has to wait a long time to be profitable. On the other hand, the government has imposed import barriers that put them at risk of huge losses. In the past, India allowed companies to self-declare wireless equipment, making it easier to import. However, the invitation rule in March 2019 requires them to seek government permission. Although India is already the world’s second-largest mobile phone maker, analysts and technology experts say the country is not of enough scale or scale for big companies to invest. into manufacturing IT products and smart wearables. Watch out for Chinese technology The delay in WPC licensing also represents a strategy to reduce China’s influence on India’s technology industry, especially following last year’s border clash.

The body of the patient Covid-19 is piled up in a crematory in New Delhi, where every four minutes, someone dies from a pandemic. Someone brought the body and left it. At the Ghazipur village crematory in eastern New Delhi, bodies were brought, one after the other. The amount of bodies was so great that ambulances and trucks transporting the dead blocked an entire road, Guardian described on April 30. Before the pandemic happened, in Ghazipur crematory staff’s memory, there was only one time that it was filled with space in a day. But now, sometime early in the morning, this place has received 150 bodies, while the maximum capacity is 38 bodies. Crematorial staff have to expand the scope of operations to parking lots but also cannot meet all demand. In the Indian capital, the second wave of Covid-19 infections is still raging with no sign of slowing down. On April 30, Delhi recorded a record number of 395 deaths and 24,235 new infections. Across India, the total number of new infections during the day was unprecedentedly high with 386,693 cases. Someone brought the body and left it Cremators in India are rushing to increase their capacity to handle 1,000 cremations a day. It is at these cremations that the destruction of Covid-19 in Delhi is being most evident. In 30 years of helping cremate the dead, Sunil Kumar Sharma, head of the Ghazipur village crematorium, said she had never thought of such a scene. “Too many people died. I have a feeling if this situation continues, there will be no one in Delhi, ”Sharma said. Normally, the body of a Covid-19 patient must be handled according to a rigorous procedure. But according to Sharma, corpses from hospitals are often not covered with protective cloths, putting cremators at risk of exposure. Some families even try to hide the death of a loved one from Covid-19. “The situation here is terrible and terrible,” said Mr. Sharma. “We have to work 20 hours a day, very tiring. My spirit seemed to have broken at the surroundings. Now there are people who bring the body and leave it, so we have to perform the ceremony to save some face for the deceased. According to the Hindu and Sikh beliefs of the Indians, a person cannot enter the door of heaven if their body is cremated without the watcher’s presence and keeping the fire on the pyre. Every day, Sharma’s crematorium consumes 60 tons of wood. “Every night, I worry about how to dispose of the body delivered tomorrow,” Mr. Sharma said. “What if it is beyond our capabilities?”. Suffering covers everywhere With thousands of recently cremated bodies, the air around Ghazipur crematorium was thick black smoke. Scattered around the ash-gray crematoriums left the day before were some offerings: mangoes, pomegranates, and orange flowers. On a nearby ambulance, a woman in a dark green sari was mumbling her prayers. In the car with her was the body of her husband, who had just died that morning because of Covid-19. The widow tried to place a red handshake on her husband’s body but was gently pushed away by a man in a protective suit to transport the body. The air around Ghazipur crematorium was thick black smoke from thousands of recent cremations. Photo: Shutterstock. Another man, Ajay Gupta, cried bitterly while the body of his brother, Ram, was placed on the crematorium. Just last week, Ram received treatment from the hospital for breathing problems. Ram’s illness had been in remission at first. I can even video call you from the hospital bed. But when the hospital ran out of oxygen, Ram did not survive. “Just a few days ago the nurse told us he would be fine,” Gupta said. Gupta is also a victim of the emerging black market in Delhi. It sells oxygen and drugs like Remdesivir to desperate families like Gupta at exorbitant prices. According to Gupta, after listening to the doctor, he used the last coin to buy Remdesivir for his brother at the black market for 630,000 rupees (about 8,500 USD), 10 times higher than normal. However, the effectiveness of Remdesivir Covid-19 is still questionable. “I felt like everything had collapsed,” Gupta said.

Krishnan Pal, 48, who sells snacks in Delhi, is also one of those who died after repeatedly being rejected by the hospital due to overload. Pal cousin Kai Charan Kashap said they knocked on the doors of every hospital in Delhi but were unable to find an empty bed. After that, Pal was transported by his family to Agra, a city in the adjacent state of Uttar Pradesh. The hospital here still has empty beds but there is no oxygen left. In the end, Pal died on his way to Bareilly, a city in the state of Uttar Pradesh. “People are dying in the middle of the street because they can’t breathe,” said Kashap in a choked sob while waiting for his brother’s body to be transported from the morgue. Vaccine is seen as the way out of the crisis Many believe that the vaccine is the only long-term way to help India get out of the corona virus crisis. But on April 30, authorities in some parts of Delhi said plans to vaccinate people aged 18 and over had been delayed indefinitely due to lack of supply. The announcement comes just a day before the expanded immunization program is scheduled to be rolled out in Indian courts. Shortages such as in the capital Delhi are also common across this South Asian country. An immunization center in Mumbai posted “no vaccinations for the next three days” on April 30. Photo: Reuters. Delhi Prime Minister Arvind Kejriwal said authorities would inject the vaccine “as soon as possible”. But some private clinics in Delhi said the vaccine is not expected to arrive for at least another month or even two. During that time, the crematory and cemetery in Delhi will continue to suffer the deadly pressure that engulfs the city every day. At the Ghazipur crematory, after sunset, all crematoriums will be lit up at the same time. Flames flared in the screams of heat and pain. Tomb diggers work non-stop in India Tomb diggers work 24 hours a day to bury those who have died from Covid-19. Their shift did not stop amid the second wave of Covid-19 in India.

EMA thinks vaccine is safe

The EMA had previously confirmed that the vaccine could indeed cause blood clots in very rare cases. But the possibility of blood clots with a very low number of platelets is only registered as a rare side effect. According to the experts, most of the cases involved women under 60 years of age. Therefore, the authority reiterated that the benefits of the vaccine to prevent Covid-19 should be rated higher than the risks of side effects. It was the second time that the EMA re-examined a corona vaccine after approval. Cerebral vein thrombosis had also occurred with the active ingredient in AstraZeneca. Here, too, the EMA stuck to its assessment that the vaccine was safe.

The management of the audio app Clubhouse has raised fresh money from investors. On the one hand, this is intended to cope with the rush of users over the past few months. Clubhouse wants to “welcome more users”, strengthen its infrastructure and “support” the providers of the discussions. The rapid growth meant that the servers were overloaded, and the algorithms were not designed for the high number of users. According to the company, around ten million users are currently on the platform every week. On the other hand, the capital injection should also serve to drive the growth course further. So far, Clubhouse has been above target in this regard: Clubhouse has “grown faster than expected,” the company said.

Success arouses desire

The audio-based social network app had already completed a financing round in January. As reported by financial news agency Bloomberg, Clubhouse is now worth around four billion dollars. That corresponds to around 3.3 billion euros and is four times as much as in January. The success of the app developed by Alpha Explorations in the USA last spring arouses desires and imitators. According to media reports, the news service Twitter is said to have recently been interested in a purchase, and Facebook is said to be working on a clubhouse clone. Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg recently had a look in the virtual salon himself, and Tesla boss Elon Musk was also a guest – this of course increases the attractiveness of the audio offering. Listen to important people once: Many clubhouse users are likely to know these or similar wishes.

Privacy advocates warn

But the success story also has its downsides. Data protection advocates repeatedly express serious concerns. A relevant incident occurred only recently. In a hacker forum, data from 1.3 million clubhouse users emerged. Clubhouse denied being hacked. The data is publicly visible in the profile information that has been tapped in bulk, including name, user name, user ID, profile photos and contact lists. Sensitive data such as credit card information were not included. Such information could be used for targeted phishing attacks, warns the consumer advice center. The data can also be used to create fake accounts in social networks and practically carry out identity theft. The consumer association also criticizes the fact that conversations are recorded and evaluated on the servers in the USA. In addition, the app would have access to all saved contacts in the phone book.
