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

On June 9, the 21st Annual Meeting of the 2021 Yabuli China Entrepreneurs Forum was held in Yabuli, Heilongjiang. Wang Chuanfu, Chairman and President of BYD Co., Ltd. attended the meeting and delivered a speech.

Wang Chuanfu said that persistence is a very important characteristic of entrepreneurs, but persistence has many difficulties behind it. BYD has a green dream since its establishment, which is the responsibility and mission of the company. In 2008, BYD put forward three dreams: solar energy, energy storage, and electric vehicles.

“We made a vision film in 2008. After the film was shot, many people couldn’t understand it. Because in 2008, when we talked about electric vehicles and energy storage power stations, everyone was shaking their heads. When BYD entered electric vehicles, our stock price dropped. 40%, but we did not give up, we are still sticking to it. This is BYD’s vision and we have been sticking to it.”

Wang Chuanfu pointed out that 72% of China’s oil depends on imports, and 70% of the imported oil comes to us ashore through the South China Sea. Of all the oil in China, 70% is used for transportation a year, and our cars consume 70% of our oil in China. It can be seen from the three 70% that electric vehicles must be developed vigorously. China has more urgency to develop electric vehicles than any other country. Therefore, as an entrepreneur, we have no rights. We know that this is a responsibility, and we can only solve it with technical methods

Financial crime Malta graylisted for Financial crimes

Status: 06/24/2021 9:40 a.m.

Corruption, money laundering and “golden passports”: the Mediterranean island of Malta has fallen into twilight. An international institution to combat money laundering now wants to monitor the country more closely. The attempts by the Maltese government to avert the decision of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) were unsuccessful: The international institution for combating money laundering, terrorist financing and the financing of weapons of mass destruction has put Malta on the gray list for financial crimes, according to the Times newspaper of Malta “reported. Inclusion on this list means that the country is under increased surveillance, that it is being monitored more and more. At the same time, the state undertakes to remedy the deficiencies identified in the context of financial crime. Who is the FATF?

The Financial Action Task Force, based in Paris, is an independent international institution that develops and promotes measures to combat money laundering, the financing of terrorism and the financing of weapons of mass destruction. It was founded in 1989 by the G7 countries and currently has 37 members. More than 200 states and jurisdictions have committed to complying with the FATF standards. The FATF is supported by a secretariat affiliated with the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).

Malta pledges cooperation

Prime Minister Robert Abela confirmed the decision and described it as “unjust”. Most of the concerns expressed by the reviewers have already been addressed. Malta wants to continue with its reform program, said Abela. “We will intensify our exchanges to better explain Malta’s achievements and to ensure that they are respected and understood by the international community.” Malta will never show itself to be uncooperative in the fight against financial crime or resist it, he assured the international partners.

Cayman Islands and Syria are also on the gray list

It is not the first time that Malta has fallen into twilight: the country has already been screened for financial crime more intensely because of its “golden passport” program. Like Cyprus, Malta had granted citizenships in return for financial commitments. The EU Commission then initiated infringement proceedings.

With the jump on the gray list of the FATF there is now a further loss of reputation for the country. As of February 2021, the FATF gray list includes countries such as Burkina Faso, the Cayman Islands, Ghana, Mauritius, Panama, Syria, Uganda, Yemen and Zimbabwe.

Germany holds the FATF presidency

Germany took over the presidency of the FATF in July 2020. The term of office of Marcus Pleyer from the Federal Ministry of Finance ends on June 30, 2022.

Incidentally, the Federal Republic of Germany is currently also being routinely audited by the FATF. In its last evaluation in 2010, the organization came to the conclusion that Germany was susceptible to money laundering and terrorist financing

Fight against cryptocurrencies China closes data centers

As of: 06/22/2021 8:26 am

Virtual means of payment like Bitcoin are a thorn in the side of the Chinese government. That is why it is vehemently against it: Now data centers have been switched off in several parts of the country.

From Steffen Wurzel, ARD studio Shanghai

The Chinese government continues to vehemently oppose everything that has to do with Bitcoin. Banks and financial service providers were again asked not to offer any more services that have to do with crypto payment methods. One wants to preserve the stability and the security of the financial market and protect the assets and property of the population, said the state central bank of China.

China had banned trading in crypto-currency such as Bitcoin as early as 2017, as the first large country in the world. The so-called mining, however, i.e. the electronic generation of Bitcoins and Co with huge computer networks, was still tolerated by the Chinese authorities. The government has only been systematically taking action against decentralized and digital means of payment for around six weeks. Huge data centers were shut down in several parts of the country. Most recently, around two thirds of all new Bitcoins worldwide were generated with computers in China. This share will now decrease rapidly and significantly, say analysts.

Concept of bitcoin contradicts politics

Monetary and currency policy are centrally controlled in China. The central bank is directly under the communist leadership. The Chinese currency, renminbi or yuan, is not freely convertible. The decentralized and open concept of Bitcoin contradicts this policy and is therefore rejected by the Chinese government. At the same time, the government is working on its own digital currency, which, however, has almost nothing to do with Bitcoin.

The stricter action taken by the Chinese authorities against crypto-currency has helped Bitcoin to lose around half of its value in the past two months. The Bitcoin price is still a good three times as high as a year ago

Arab and Jewish Israelis Reconciliation as Economic factor

Status: 21.06.2021 6:04 p.m.

After the change of government in Israel, the multi-party coalition is faced with difficult tasks, above all the reconciliation between Israelis and Arabs. That would also help the country economically.

By Till Rüger, Muhamed Abofani and Mike Lingenfelser, ARD studio Tel Aviv

For the first time, Arab MPs are part of one Ruling coalition in Israel. The Islamic Ra’am party of Mansour Abbas provided the decisive votes for the so-called “Coalition of Change” of Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid. With a wafer-thin majority of just one vote it became so Long-term Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu voted out of the Likud. A historic moment for an underrated minority. Arab Israelis now make up around 21 percent of Israel’s citizens – and their number is growing. Officially, they have the same rights and duties as Jewish Israelis. But many feel disadvantaged, for example when it comes to job placement or training.

Feeling of second class citizens

The villages and residential areas of the Arab Israelis also usually have poorer infrastructure. They suffer from a high level of crime, which the police have so far failed to combat. Many Israeli Arabs therefore see themselves as second-class citizens. In its Inaugural address to the Knesset , the Israeli parliament, said the new Prime Minister Bennet of the right-wing Yamina party that his new government was opening a new chapter in relations with fellow Arabs. He wanted to eliminate imbalances in education and alleviate the housing shortage of the Bedouins in the south. Everyone has the right to live in dignity. During the eleven days of rocket bombardment from the Gaza Strip, the conflict broke out even more clearly than usual. Many cities and villages with a mixed population of Arab and Jewish Israelis such as Lod, Akko and Jaffo experienced the worst unrest in decades. The deep crack became visible even where both groups had previously lived largely peacefully together.

Deep distrust with historical roots

Almost all Arab Israelis lived in what is now Israel’s territory before the establishment of Israel in 1948. In the Arab-Israeli war of 1948, they did not flee and were not expelled. Many see themselves as sisters and brothers of the Palestinians in the West Bank or Gaza Strip.

After the recent unrest, many Jewish Israelis avoided the Arab residential areas, including some areas of Jaffo, the district in the south of Tel Aviv. The pubs and restaurants in Jaffo had reported up to 70 percent fewer Jewish guests than before the rocket fire from the Gaza Strip. During the unrest, the government imposed curfews and cordoned off entire streets, but otherwise did little to counter the deep-seated mutual distrust.

Arab Israelis as an important economic factor

Private initiatives are different. The Israeli insurance company Harel, for example, posted large posters on Tel Aviv’s city motorway in Hebrew and Arabic: “The best insurance against violence is coexistence.” Many other companies followed suit with commercials and newspaper advertisements. Because the Arab Israelis are an important economic factor.

It was not until the later 1970s that a visible number of Arab Israelis began studying at an Israeli university, primarily in engineering, pharmacy and teaching. In the early 1990s, agriculture and the textile industry went downhill in Israel. Many Arab Israelis were active there.

At the same time, Russian immigrants came into the country. More than a million new homes had to be built, and so the Arab Israelis got access to a new economic sector: housing, road construction, electricity and gas management.

Locked out of the software industry

Around the year 2000 there was a small high-tech miracle in Israel: Many Israeli software companies were able to establish themselves worldwide. But this industry remained closed to the Arab Israelis because, among other things, it had to do with security issues. Many Arab computer scientists were not permanently employed.

Since then, the Arab Israelis have almost only chosen professions in which they could certainly find a job, for example in medicine or pharmacy. Many saw a solid education as the only way to improve economically. The Arab villages in Israel are now competing with each other to see who has more doctors per 1,000 inhabitants. Pharmacy and medicine are often dominated by the well-trained doctors and pharmacists from the Arab minority. In recent years, the Arab Israelis have rediscovered the high-tech industry. This is suffering from underemployment in Israel, and many start-ups are desperately looking for well-trained employees – a new opportunity for the Arab Israelis.

Unequal distribution of the workforce

If you look at the total number of employees, then the Jewish Israelis come to a good 83 percent. Conversely, this would mean that the Arab Israelis, together with the large number of Asian guest workers, make up less than 17 percent of the workforce in the country.

If you take a look at the figures from the Israeli statistics agency exactly where and how Arab Israelis are employed today, the distribution looks like this: 13 percent are unskilled, 42 percent are skilled workers in industry and construction. Two percent work in agriculture, 15 percent in the service sector, three percent in administration, five percent are engineers, eleven percent are academics and five percent run a company. The labor force participation of Jewish Israelis aged 15 and over was 65.0 percent in 2019, while that of Arab Israelis aged 15 and older was only 43.4 percent, mainly due to the significantly lower labor force participation of women.

Reconciliation as the primary goal

The reconciliation of the two population groups – also for economic reasons – is likely to become one of the most important tasks of the new government of Prime Minister Bennett and his Vice Yair Lapid of the liberal Center Party.

Only when the inner-Israeli conflict has calmed down, according to Middle East observers, the new government can look to the West Bank and Gaza again and tackle the peace process with the Palestinians, which has come to a complete standstill

State of Wyoming Billionaires in the wild

Status: 20.06.2021 09:34 a.m.

In Jackson Hole in the US state of Wyoming, the fox and the rabbit say goodnight – and recently the richest people in the country too. You will be attracted by unspoiled nature – and low taxes.

From Jule Käppel, ARD studio Washington

Real estate agent Andrew Ellett makes the dream of a ranch in the wilderness of the northern Rocky Mountains come true. Millionaires and billionaires come to him when they are looking for the perfect piece of land in the middle of nowhere: he has it.

“On this property, you can saddle your horses and ride right into the woods for hundreds of miles,” says Ellet. The property includes 120 acres of land, a main house with several hundred square feet of living space, a three bedroom guest house, and there is no limit to the number of horses on the ranch. This is also an important selling point here in the western United States, in the state of Wyoming. The price: $ 4.6 million. A good deal compared to the noble wooden house on the river for the super rich who love fly fishing. That costs almost 18 million.

Exclusive properties in the middle of nowhere

The agent says that’s the best thing about Jackson Hole: You can be close to town and still feel so rural. The Engel und Völkers broker can offer a lonely ranch a maximum of three times a year. Only three percent of the land in the parish is private. The rest is not for sale. Mountains and wide valleys, forests and crystal clear lakes are home to elks, herds of bison, bears – and wildflowers dance in the meadows in the summer breeze. An idyll with three ski areas and two national parks on the doorstep. One of them is the famous Yellowstone National Park.

Natural idyll with a low tax burden

The richest people in the United States move to this area in the north of Cowboy State. But they don’t just love the landscape. The community is one of the largest tax havens in the United States, explains Ben Williamson. “Property tax is minimal, there is no income tax.” The 28-year-old Williamson is against the fact that untouched nature becomes an investment.

The executive director of the Northern Rockies Conservation Cooperative finds it “absurd” that this isolated region has the highest per capita income in the country – more than $ 250,000. It’s almost a third less in Manhattan.

Rich new citizens make life difficult for others

The folks who aren’t in the richest 1 percent have a hard time getting along, Williamson says. Because in the past few years rents have exploded along with market prices for luxury real estate. During the corona pandemic, even more people were relocated from the metropolises on the west and east coast. In addition to the hedge fund managers, CEOs and film actresses, the home office employees with a lot of money have now joined them. The apartments have become too expensive for the long-established residents of the town who take care of the ranches, hotel guests or hospital patients. They move to the neighboring communities, drive over the pass to work for almost an hour. Sometimes there is no getting through in snow. And then Jackson Hole, the dream place of billionaires, is cut off from the world for days

The Weibo topic #女 easy trousers pockets too anti-human, aroused the sympathy of the majority of women. Equivalent to only 40% of women’s pockets can be fully fitted into iPhone X, and the success rate of men’s pockets is 100%. Whether it’s skinny jeans or straight jeans, this difference exists. How do girls buy things, Want to engage in a “color revolution”? In 1954, the well-known designer Christian Dior said: “Men’s pockets are for holding things, and women’s pockets are for decoration.” To this day, there may be many designers still pursuing the principle of “male clothing is designed for practicality and female clothing is born for beauty”. For this reason, some businesses may compress the space of women’s trouser pockets due to the need of beautiful design. Weibo netizens @活体复读机 sharing the difference between men’s and women’s trouser pockets Many women wear lipstick, tissues, and earphones when they go out. If their trouser pockets can’t fit so many small objects, they will choose to carry a bag to go out. So you can see, whether you are strolling in a quiet campus, on the way to work, or going out for a break on the weekend, a lot of Girls have to bring a bag when they go out. But in some cases, the loading capacity of women’s bags is still much worse than that of men’s bags. Take a big-name backpack for example. The best-selling female diagonal bag is priced at 4485 yuan. This delicate mini bag is decorated with camellia. If you put a mobile phone inside, you want to put another power bank. It’s possible. Girls who are away from home carry such a bag, which is not very practical. Some large items will still be “tied up” in the hands. “Broken Sisters”The female protagonist went out, carrying many bags. At the same price, men’s handbags of the same brand are briefcases and business bags. It is not a problem for them to put a small computer.The loading capacity far exceeds that of female backpacks. Someone complained, “Perhaps the fashion industry simply wants women not to carry anything out of the house.” It is puzzling that although some women’s bags have smaller space and poorer loading capacity, their prices are much higher than those of men’s bags. If it is because the cost of raw materials and technology for women’s bags is higher, it is excusable. But the price difference between some men’s and women’s models is puzzling. For example, only the color is different between men and women, but the value is a few blocks away. Businesses like to make a fuss on pink products, because this color is often regarded as the preference of girls. Women always bring lipstick, tissues, and headphones when they go out. Air Force Pink Valentine’s Day series of the same shoes for men and women, the price of men’s models is between 919-949 yuan, and the female models are increased to 1219-2029 yuan; Gaming mouse black and water silver are both 299 yuan, pink crystal color is 329 yuan; The Razer DX co-branded gaming chair faith color matching standard version is 1399 yuan, and the powerful goddess car is 1799 yuan. Suning Mini’s small fan also made a price distinction in terms of color, increasing the price of the more feminine pink fan to 22.9 yuan, and other colors to 12.9 yuan. The price of the more feminine pink fan is different from the others. The fact that pink products are priced higher than other color products has made more and more women dissatisfied with this “pink tax”. “Pink tax” refers to the phenomenon that women’s models are more expensive than men’s for the same type of goods. It is named because most of the higher-priced women’s products are pink. In the current sales activities of various platforms, The phenomenon of “pink tax” is not uncommon. Are there any other differences besides the color? When buying daily necessities in the mall, you may habitually pick up “female-only” shampoos, attracted by the matte packaging, and directlyIgnore the styles for men. Maybe you haven’t noticed at all. In fact, apart from the color and packaging, men and women skin care products are the same in terms of ingredients and production costs. Ryan McDevitt commented on the phenomenon of female pink tax. On top of the basic products for the general public, merchants do in-depth sales for women, making the products smaller and more pink. They work hard on aesthetics, but sometimes they deviate from the practicality of the items themselves. As far as umbrellas are concerned, search on Taobao “Umbrella Girl” , Umbrella design and aesthetic performance are of various types, and the theme-limited series are even more diverse. Ingenious women’s umbrellas and sturdy men’s umbrellas. Merchants have seized the characteristics of women’s preference for “exquisiteness” and made a fuss about the appearance to increase the price of their products.but The same article changed gender and searched again, but most of them were “Daigu, thick, sturdy and durable for two people.” Computer accessories on all major platforms under the banner of “e-sports girl” changed the packaging of the popular styles, and replaced the basic headsets with cat ears. Or it was a joint name with XXX for Amway, which was summed up by netizens as a pink tax lightning protection book.SomeoneCommented:

“No one really thinks girls like pink, right?” “The sense of cheapness overflows the screen.” “None of these pink chairs have considered the height of women.”

“No one really thinks girls like pink, right?” “The sense of cheapness overflows the screen.” “None of these pink chairs have considered the height of women.” The New York Consumers Association once conducted a survey,Among the 5 categories of 397 products in the United States, 42% of the products are women’s models at a higher price. A collection of e-sports girl products. Businesses may think that female consumers are less sensitive to prices and spend more “expensively”, but the actual situation may be beyond their expectations. Spanish scholar Manzano Anton believes that there are a large number of products sold specifically to women on the market, which are mostly related to the society’s expectations of women’s “beauty”, but the differentiation of these products is sometimes unnecessary. More often, the attributes and functions of products are deliberately marketed by merchants, not based on the real needs of women. This “pink bubble” should have been burst long ago Why should women spend more money on the same product? In the advertising video launched by Burger King and David Miami, Burger King launched a pink-packaged chicken fries priced at $3.09 based on the price of American chicken fries for $1.69, and it was only sold to women. During the ordering process, the staff will deliberately ask the lady who ordered: “This is in a pink package. It has eyelashes and a bow. Will you pay more for the pink box?” Every woman said “I reject”. Burger King used such clever social experiments to tell people how absurd it is to ask women to pay more just because the packaging is pink. Not all girls like pink, and not all women like complicated styles. Among the groups fighting back against the “pink tax”, the Douban Pink Tax Boycotters Alliance team assembled 25,227 pink girls According to the group profile, “Girls are not the wool of unscrupulous merchants and refuse to be cut”. They brainstormed, worked together, shared their experiences, and avoided paying the “pink tax.” Members of the Pink Tax Boycotts Alliance team share their experience of trampling thunder.

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

The U.S. Embassy in Trinidad and Tobago issued a statement on its official Twitter on the evening of the 13th local time, saying, “The U.S. government has donated 80 bottles of Pfizer’s new crown vaccine to the government of Trinidad and Tobago. The U.S. is committed to Help the Trinidad and Tobago government to carry out vaccination work.” According to previous reports in the US media, a bottle of Pfizer’s new crown vaccine contains 5 or 6 doses of vaccine. In other words, 80 vials of vaccine are only equivalent to more than 400 doses of vaccine. According to the one-person two-dose vaccination process, only enough to vaccinate more than 200 people. Perhaps the U.S. Embassy itself realized the ridiculousness of “80 bottles”, and deliberately added at the end of the statement, “We believe that every dose of vaccine is important.”

This donation statement was quickly spread on Twitter and received a lot of criticism and ridicule comments. Netizens from various countries were surprised that the US embassy announced the number of “80 bottles” of donations.

@Snigdha100%vaxxed#GetYoVax: 80 bottles? How many people can this bring continuous protection? Because it seems to me nothing to show off.

@Got My Moderna Workin”: For a country with more than 1 million people, 80 doses (bottles) are an insult.

@funkdrugmokey: They (the US government) must open a box of vaccines, count 80 bottles (or 115 bottles) from it, and then put the other vaccines back into the cold storage. incredible.

@Mohammad: This statement has almost as many words as the number of vaccines to be donated.

@MaryAnn Johanson: This is a shameful and meaningless gesture. You (the United States) should keep it secret, not hype.

Some comments also questioned that the United States had previously announced the distribution of 80 million doses of the new crown vaccine to the world by the end of June, and US President Biden just announced that it would donate 500 million doses of vaccines. Are these vaccines just verbal, in reality? Is it only 80 bottles? According to the local media Trinidad Daily Express, the country’s Minister of National Security Hinders explained that the 80 vials of vaccines announced by the United States have nothing to do with “any large-scale donations that we anticipate that the United States is considering”. Vaccines are “just a small batch of gifts received by the Ministry of National Security.”

While the message was almost overwhelmingly criticizing the U.S. government, some Trinidad and Tobago netizens were also sharing another piece of news: The first batch of 200,000 doses of China’s Sinopharm vaccine purchased by the country will be delivered on the 14th local time and will arrive in Port of Spain, the capital of Trinidad and Tobago.

On the 13th local time, Chinese Ambassador to Trinidad and Tobago Fang Qiu announced the above news on his official Twitter and Facebook. “I am very happy to announce this latest development. The 200,000 doses of Sinopharm vaccine purchased by the Trinidad and Tobago government are on their way to Port of Spain! I am very happy to be invited to welcome the second batch of Sinopharm vaccine at the airport tomorrow!” Local media also reported that the government of Trinidad and Tobago has also ordered more new crown vaccines from China, which will be delivered in the future.

Below this news, many Trinidad and Tobago netizens expressed their thanks.

@Dina GoonLun: I am very happy to learn that the (China) vaccine is already on the way. Very grateful. Time is of the essence. There is a real friendship between China and Trinidad and Tobago. Thank you, Mr. Ambassador.

@Ricardo Paul: Well done, Mr. Ambassador.

@Barry Kanchan: We are very grateful. Please send in as many vaccines as possible.

According to the news published on the official website of the Chinese Embassy in Trinidad and Tobago, on May 19, a batch of China’s aid to Trinidad and Tobago arrived in Port of Spain. Many local people referred to the Chinese vaccine as “timely rain”. According to media reports, this is the largest vaccine aid that Triumph has received so far. According to the “Global Times” reporter, this batch of Sinopharm vaccines will be launched in Trinidad and Tobago nationwide on May 21. Many local government officials and parliamentarians have all been vaccinated against Sinopharm. The country’s Senator Laurel Resama shared the process of vaccination in China via Twitter. “It only takes 15 seconds! The whole process went smoothly and well organized.”

Trinidad and Tobago media reports on Sinopharm vaccination status

The comparison between 80 bottles in the United States and hundreds of thousands of doses in China has already been seen by Trinidad and Tobago people, but Shanter Moore, the US Chargé d’affaires in Trinidad and Tobago, was still in an interview with local media recently. Selectively ignore the facts, while publicizing the promise of the United States to donate vaccines, while facing China’s slander.

Ambassador Fang Qiu commented on the interview on Twitter, saying, “This article is full of irony, and one can’t help asking, how many vaccines have they (the United States) delivered?” “Actions speak louder than words.” Ambassador Fang Qiu wrote.

There were a handful of jackets that defined casual style in the 2010s like the leather motorcycle jacket, olive green anorak jacket, and of course, the bomber. Bomber jackets are the go-to jacket for everyone from those looking for a second layer of protection, or a layer to wear with a hoodie, to those who prefer a lightweight satin bomber with intricate embroidery on the back. . We’re sure streetwear will be back soon as Dior sends metallic, sheer and varsity bombers down the runway at their Fall/Winter 2021 show in Shanghai. Chevron motifs Chevron, the slightly more respectful cousin of the “Aztec” motif that defined the 2010s. You can’t walk past a J.Crew or a country club without seeing the ladies. Wear chevron maxi dresses and chevron cardigans as these trendy prints have a particular influence on those who define their style as preppy. Missoni is famous for their chevron prints especially on knitwear so if anyone is going to go back to chevron prints it will be the Italian fashion house. Their Spring/Summer 2021 collection introduces multicolored knits, combining their signature chevron motifs with other geometric shapes and squares for the ultimate in period perfection. Vacation. Fringe Fringe clothing is a continuation of the 1970s resurgence we’ve seen over the past year with the sudden craze in brown, from fashion’s favorite to hated color to then back to back. into a favorite neutral color in line with colors like white, gray and black. It’s time to approach another ’70s trend that was so prominent in early 2010 thanks to Coachella, so if you’re thinking of buying a fringe jacket or coat for your wardrobe after During your quarantine, check out @70sbabes on Instagram for inspiration. Cocktail rings The oversized, stackable rings are back and you can find a lot of options to buy the same different ring styles in polymer clay, acrylic, retro. However, the metal, gothy cocktail rings that were so popular in the early 2010s are more gunmetal and goth, so perhaps the next step towards colorful jewelry of the 2020s will be take a step into more difficult territory.

Ms. Dam (Thoi Ninh area, Thoi An Dong ward, Binh Thuy district) is wrapping coconut leaf cake. Salted pork skin cake, also known as salty cake, is created into various types of flatbreads, vegetarian cakes. According to Ms. Loan, making savory pork skin cakes is not difficult, but you must have your own secret to make the cake crispy, chewy and have a characteristic fatty taste. To have a delicious pork skin cake, the main ingredient is rice flour; The filling is made from cassava root, red radish and dried shrimp. And an indispensable ingredient is coconut milk, which contributes to making the cake more flavorful, fatty and fragrant. Currently, when technology develops, many bakers switch to electric ovens, but Loan still maintains the method of manual steaming, pinching with rice husks to adjust the temperature accordingly. Every day, Ms. Loan steams about 150 salty pork skin cakes, priced at 3,000 VND/piece, with dried shrimp filling; 2,000 VND/piece for flatbread and cake filled with cassava, red radish. Ms. Loan said: “Every day, I sell salty pork skin cakes with other dishes, such as silkworm cakes, wet cakes, etc. Depending on the number of orders from customers, I increase or decrease the number of cakes.” For most folk cakes, although the ingredients are easy to find, it also requires a lot of care and ingenuity of the workers to produce eye-catching and delicious batches of cakes. Huynh Thi Ha’s family, commonly known as Ms. 3 Dam, 65 years old (living in Thoi Ninh area, Thoi An Dong ward, Binh Thuy district), making coconut leaf cakes has helped her family “eat well, made” over the past 14 years. Ms. Dam said that, when she was a girl in the countryside, everyone knew how to make cakes, because they were taught the craft by their grandparents and learned from neighbors. While quickly wrapping the cakes, Ms. Dam shared: “I can pack 17 cakes for 1 kg of sticky rice. To get a delicious, fragrant coconut cake, you have to go through many stages. First buy a plant (coconut leaves) used to wrap the barrel of the cake. Glutinous must choose to buy new sticky rice to stir-fry, squeeze coconut milk and mix it with coconut carcasses, add salt, sugar, and beans. To make the cake, must cook green beans, cut ripe bananas. After all the preliminaries were done, I started wrapping the cake.” Every day, on a small bicycle, Ms. Dam only sells coconut leaf cakes around the area of ​​Thoi An Dong market. Her cakes sold quite well, by 6 a.m. sold out. On average, she packs over 100 cakes every day, both retailing and removing termites for 5,000 VND/piece; minus expenses, she made a profit of over 120,000 dong. Particularly on holidays and Tet, neighbors come to her to order a package of Tet cakes. Although the money is not much, it also helps her to live with the profession, satisfying her desire to preserve the taste of country cakes. Currently, with the pace of urbanization, many types of cakes have been born, meeting the increasing tastes of customers, but folk cakes still have a certain place in the market, helping many small business households to earn income. stable input. Through the skillful hands of artisans, the folk cakes are more delicious, rounder, and converge the essence of home products.

Fast, convenient and full of nutrition.

Bringing the typical beauty of the peaceful picture of Hue countryside, Thanh Toan tile bridge is now located in Thanh Thuy Chanh village, Thuy Thanh commune, Huong Thuy town. This is an ancient bridge of great architectural and cultural value, especially rare because the real art value is ranked among the highest among all ancient bridges in Vietnam. Thanh Toan tile-roofed bridge was built according to the architecture of “upper family, Ha Kieu”, on the house and under the bridge, both acting as a bridge over the river, and as a resting place for pedestrians, a unique form of traffic in Vietnam. world. In Vietnam today, in addition to Thanh Toan tile bridge, there are a few bridges with similar architecture, such as Chua Cau (Hoi An), tile bridge in Hai Anh commune (Hai Hau, Nam Dinh), Phat Diem tile bridge (Hoi An). Kim Son, Ninh Binh), two tile bridges at Thay Pagoda (Hanoi). Thanh Toan tile-roofed bridge was built in 1776, so far it is 245 years old, with the original size of 18.75m in length and 5.82m in width. After four previous restorations and the influence of time, nature and war, the bridge today is only 16.85m long and 4.63m wide. The “superior” architecture of the bridge makes people think of a house with a roof covered with lapis lazuli. Below is divided into seven compartments with the layout like seven compartments in a large house. Each space has two wooden platforms and two railings to sit back, both a chair for people to stop and a counter to rest when needed. In the middle is the worshiping hall of Tran Thi Dao, who made a great contribution to building this bridge. Legend has it that she is a descendant of the Tran family whose husband was a mandarin under King Le Hien Tong. In order to pray, she spent her own money to bless the villagers by building a tiled bridge, helping people in the region and Foreign guests are both convenient to travel and have a place to rest. Some new pictures of Thanh Toan tile-roof bridge after the date of handover and put back into use: Thanh Toan tile bridge in the night is beautiful and shimmering by the new electric light system installed inside the bridge, outside the railing, combined with led lights at the surrounding trees. Flowing across the foot of the bridge is a small river, a branch of Nhu Y river. The flooring system and the ironwood main frame structure have been repainted, any rotten wood details have been replaced. At the top, the roof is restored with Thanh Luu Ly glazed tubular tiles. The two sentences confront the bridge and the crockery details are repainted and restored to the original. The countryside market of Thanh Thuy Chanh village, where the roof of the communal house is covered by ancient banyan trees, is located right next to the Thanh Toan tiled bridge, all blending together into a beautiful picture of Hue’s countryside.

It is worth noting that in recent years, in addition to Vietnam’s support for India, there is another powerful country that hopes to reach further cooperation with India. This country is our neighbor, Japan. Since 2014, the relationship between Japan and India has been warming up. India has decided to build a 505-kilometer high-speed rail line in the country, with a total investment of 17 billion US dollars. China, Europe, and Japan have all participated in the bidding, and then Japan Relying on rich conditions to win this competition. It is reported that Japan has provided nearly 1 trillion yen in loans to India, which is approximately 53.2 billion yuan, with an interest rate of only 0.1% and a repayment period of 50 years. For India, this condition is still very tempting.

In addition, in the political field, Japan also hopes to reach further cooperation with India. In 2019, the two countries held the first “2+2” meeting between their foreign ministers and defense ministers in New Delhi, the capital of India, to discuss issues such as interoperability, joint training, and equipment research and development of the two countries’ military. Just this year, it was reported that the two countries will hold the second “2+2” meeting between the two foreign ministers and defense ministers in Tokyo, the capital of Japan. It can be foreseen that the relationship between the two countries may continue to heat up in the future.

It should be noted that Japan’s overall strength is not inferior to that of European powers. If Japan wants to further support India in the future, India’s international influence may rise again. From the military perspective, the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force is now equipped with 8 Aegis ships, Type 2 helicopter carriers and other types of ships. Japan has also introduced some F-35B fighters. If necessary, Japan can build more. Support quasi-aircraft carrier formation. In the economic field, although Japan’s economic development rate has repeatedly declined after the “lost 20 years”, Japan is still one of the indispensable economies in the world, and Japan’s scientific research level is also among the top in the world. . In short, for India, Japan is an indispensable and powerful assistant. If Japan can support India in the future, India will also gain a lot. By then, the situation in Asia and the world may also change, and we must be careful. response.

The outbreak of the epidemic also made us realize the faces of many businessmen. For example, Jack Ma’s Alibaba donations and materials counted a total of one billion yuan, but in Alibaba, I don’t know how many companies donated money and materials. And we ordinary people have also extended a helping hand, and even many people who live by picking up trash have donated their only savings.

But such an enterprise became an iron cock when the Chinese people needed their help the most. Of course, Guo Taiming was retaliated soon, and suffered a lot, because most of the Foxconn employees in this epidemic were unable to resume work normally.

Foxconn is famous for relying on the foundry iPhone, but in recent years iPhone sales have fallen and domestic labor costs have risen, and Foxconn has gone to India for development. First, 5 billion was invested in India, but the Indian factory plan was still blocked. At the time when Foxconn deployed the Indian market, BYD, a new domestic giant, rose rapidly. BYD is not only an automobile factory, but also a large mobile phone foundry.

The CEO of BYD is an automobile factory in the eyes of many people. In fact, BYD is involved in a lot of industries. BYD wants to step into new fields and acquire the latest popular mobile phone software, from thousands of dollars of Adidas Nike and other sports shoes to major fashion brands. , And then to LV Rolex and other famous bags and watches that cost tens of thousands of yuan, it only costs one or two hundred on the purchase of goods.Everyone crazy download

In 2018, BYD achieved 19.5 billion yuan in revenue, becoming the second largest mobile phone foundry after Foxconn.

However, BYD is different from Foxconn in that it insists on independent research and development of core technologies, continuously improves its foundry strength, and creates its own characteristic production line, which Foxconn did not expect. Terry Gou also realized that Foxconn’s position is being impacted.

Now BYD has won orders from mobile phone giants such as Samsung, Apple, and Huawei, and its foundries are not limited to domestic ones. BYD factories have been built in India, Romania and other places. BYD’s early global deployment is worthy of being a new giant that can threaten Foxconn. Gou did not expect that BYD was quietly rising when he was deploying in India.

Foxconn first took a fancy to the Indian market. The low labor force in India can reduce a lot of costs. However, Foxconn has recently suffered setbacks in India and wants to return to the domestic market. It’s easy to leave and it’s hard to turn around. Gou made a wrong calculation this time. The new foundry giant has already swallowed most of the orders, and it’s hard to come back.

It can be said that the Chinese people also taught Guo Taiming a lesson this time. It is not that the mainland cannot do without him, but he cannot do without us.

Supply crisis in Lebanon Queuing for a little gasoline

Status: 14.06.2021 8:41 a.m.

There is currently a shortage of fuel, electricity and medicines in Lebanon. Because the country is in a serious economic and financial crisis. Many Lebanese fear that the situation will get worse. By Anne Allmeling, ARD-Studio Cairo, currently Beirut Layali has almost reached her goal. Six or seven cars are waiting in line at the gas station in front of her. Then it’s her turn. “I don’t know how much I get, but I take as much as they give me.” Layali, who doesn’t want to give her last name, has been waiting for two hours to fill her tank with at least a few liters of gasoline. The 31-year-old works as a lecturer at a university in the center of Beirut. She needs the car on the way to work. “This is the second day I’ve tried to get gasoline. I drove all over town yesterday to find an open gas station. Then I waited four hours. When there were only four or five cars left in front of me were in the queue, it was said that there was no more gasoline. ”

Country has been in crisis for almost two years

Anyone who wants to refuel in Lebanon needs a lot of patience. Because fuel is in short supply. The country lacks the foreign exchange for imports. Lebanon has been in a serious financial and economic crisis for almost two years. The corona pandemic and the explosion in the port of Beirut a good ten months ago made the situation even worse. After its resignation, the government is only in a managerial position, but hardly able to act. In addition, there is a risk of state bankruptcy. Gasoline prices have more than tripled – but many Lebanese have no choice. “There is no public transport, no railroad. There is only private transport,” says Jihad Shehab. The 52-year-old salesman has been waiting for gasoline for his old Mercedes for an hour and a half. Because the line is moving very slowly, he got out of the car and is talking to a friend. “The situation is getting worse and worse. Nothing is progressing, neither in the government nor in the state, nothing,” he complains. Everything got out of hand. There is a dispute right in front of the gas station. A taxi driver complains: He only got twenty liters – not a full tank like the customer before him. His car has a special license plate that only a few Lebanese can afford – if they have the right connections.

FAQ 08/06/2020

Hardly any protests against the political elite

Nepotism and corruption are widespread in Lebanon. One reason why influential politicians and business people have been able to enrich themselves on a large scale in recent decades – at the expense of the state, which is now almost bankrupt. These people should be driven out of their offices, says a young woman who does not want to give her name: “Those responsible in Lebanon do not take any responsibility. The only solution would be for the people to put pressure on the state.” But if there is no uprising, the situation will not improve. Protests against the political elite are sporadic in Lebanon, however. More than half of the population is now considered poor. Most people are busy every day to ensure their survival and that of their families – like Layali. She is now number three in line – but even today she does not get any gasoline. The gas station closes before it is her turn. “Unfortunately, it didn’t work out. This has happened to me for the fifth time. I have to keep trying.”

“In what beautiful dress with lotus. Green leaves, white flowers, and yellow stamens …”, the folk song said the beauty of the lotus flower – a flower that always shows off its bright colors. In Vietnam, the lotus is considered the national flower and carries many profound humanistic symbolic meanings. The image of the lotus flower is associated with the life of Vietnamese people. Photo: Nguyen Chi Khanh. Tra Ly lotus dress belongs to Duy Son commune, Duy Xuyen district, Quang Nam province. This is a wild mountainous commune, quite few people live.

According to the sharing, the most beautiful time to see the lotus usually starts from 6-9 am, when the lotus petals bloom and the morning dew is still glittering on the leaves, creating a picture of nature in harmony with color. sharp. Photo: Vietnam_travel_media. Lotus flowers bloom most brilliantly from April to July every year, so if you can’t visit Tra Ly at the moment to see lotus flowers and take pictures with them, don’t worry. When the epidemic season is over, we can still see the lotus flowers at the end of the season with a more loving beauty. Photo: Nguyen Chi Khanh.

Shanghai Songcheng is located on the banks of the Huangpu River in Shanghai’s Pudong New Area. It opened on April 29 before May Day. The location of Shanghai Songcheng is very superior. The magnificent river view and the city landscape are in harmony with each other. The unique charm of Shanghai is the magic city. Here you can see it at a glance. The transportation here is also very convenient. I took Metro Line 1 and transferred to Line 13 from Shanghai Station to Shibo Avenue Station, and then walked about 3 minutes to Shanghai Songcheng. Unlike the Songcheng cities of Hangzhou, Lijiang and Sanya that have been visited in the past, Shanghai Songcheng is located in a 6-storey building. It used to be the factory building of the No. 3 Shanghai Iron and Steel Plant, and later became the stage of Baosteel and World Expo. , Now it has been transformed and upgraded into the grand stage of Shanghai Songcheng Performing Arts Kingdom World Expo. Although Songcheng is concentrated in this 6-storey square building, the content is very rich, and each floor has its own excitement. For example, the Crossing Street and Magic Street on the 1st floor, the Book Bar on the 2nd floor, the Modern Dressing Hall and the Eternal Love Street on the 4th floor, the Tianshang Street Market and The Arabian Nights on the 6th floor, the Fairy Valley on the top terrace, and the Cliff Theater. A place worth checking in. Of course, the performing arts show here is even more exciting, and contains multiple theme shows. I remember that the first time I went to Songcheng, I went to Songcheng, Hangzhou. Both the internal layout and the soul “Songcheng Eternal Love” left a deep impression on me. I can also learn about the city while playing. history and culture. Shanghai Songcheng has also been combined with Shanghai’s profound historical and cultural heritage, both in the old and now, and this is what attracts me. Whether it is Shanghai in the last century or Shanghai today, this international magical city has always been a place to lead the trend. Walking into the dressing hall and wearing a distinctive cheongsam, it feels like a journey. Some people say that the bigger the easier the nostalgia, I think it’s not wrong at all. The past years are exactly what we are looking for now. Tianshang Street Market, in addition to the modern era, I think the most attractive place, but also a place beyond the film. The Arab elements of the Middle East are integrated here. The colorful products and the exotic scenery will give you the illusion of entering the Middle East. The color is visually enjoyable, and it gives people a very strong sense of impact. I believe everyone will scream great love when they see it! Since the opening of Shanghai Songcheng, “Elf Valley” has become a super popular check-in spot. There is an exotic “Hobbit House”. The houses are very exquisite and the details are well handled, attracting countless people to come here. Check in and take photos, just take a shot, it is the kind of beautiful blockbuster with its own ins style. Of course, as the “Shanghai Eternal Love” performance show that must be watched in a lifetime, it is a must-see, and it is the soul of the entire Shanghai Songcheng. “Shanghai Eternal Love” is divided into five acts, namely “Tracing the Origin of Shanghai and Shanghai”, “1921”, “Modern Times”, “Shanghai People”, and “Wind from the Sea”. Each act is performed very wonderfully. In addition to “Shanghai Eternal Love”, if it is a parent-child tour, “WA! “Dinosaurs” is a must-see; if you are a couple, a girlfriend or a family, you must watch “Passionate Samba”. This is a passionate and exciting food show. You can enjoy the delicious food while watching the performance, it feels natural Very pleasant. I don’t know, have you checked in at “Shanghai Songcheng” recently? What are your impressions of the play experience there? If you haven’t been, do you plan to visit Songcheng in Shanghai? Welcome to leave comments.

The building was built on the old Carlton hotel, where President Ho Chi Minh used to work during his years in London. Photo: VNA One morning in June in the cool early summer period, the London sky is blue, the sun is golden like honey, I visited the Drayton Court Hotel on The Avenue in Ealing district, west of London. Elegantly located in one of London’s greenest and most beautiful suburbs, Drayton Court is one of the oldest and largest pubs in Ealing, opening in 1894. With its impressive façade and antique décor Classic, elegant, this is the perfect place to enjoy a relaxing weekend with the family, or enjoy a drink with friends at one of West London’s largest beer gardens. Song Drayton Court is also attractive to visitors because this is the only hotel in London that has ever had a waiter who later became a world-class leader, that is President Ho Chi Minh. On the Drayton Court’s website, the hotel’s history introduction reads, “Ho Chi Minh, the leader of Vietnam, worked hard in the hotel’s kitchen in 1914, before he continued his journey to change his name. changed the country’s history, driving out forces from Japan, France and the United States.” In 1914, President Ho Chi Minh served at the Drayton Court Hotel located on the quiet, deserted The Avenue street, in the Ealing district, west London. Photo: VNA/phat Stepping into the hotel with classical and elegant architecture and decoration, giving visitors a feeling of relaxation, I can’t help but be moved when I imagine the days of hard work to exhaustion of the young man. Nguyen Tat Thanh was in his twenties here more than a century ago. Talking to the hotel’s receptionist, I learned that after Drayton Court was renovated in 2011, the kitchen where Uncle used to work was completely rebuilt and became part of the cool green beer garden, Open space located behind the hotel. Walking around the beer garden where local guests happily enjoy beers with friends, I seem to see a glimpse of a slender Vietnamese young man who does not care much, hard at work in the old kitchen of the customer. hotel. Although Drayton Court is no longer imprinted with the period when President Ho Chi Minh worked here, his imprint still seems to be intact. When I was struggling to look around the outside corners of the hotel to get a good picture, a man in his 60s approached and asked: “Do you know what’s so special about this building?”. I pretended to ask: “What is it?”, “This is where President Ho Chi Minh of Vietnam used to work”. I felt a mixture of amazement, delight and pride. Amidst the busy modern life of London, a British citizen mentioned the leader of Vietnam in a historical event more than a century ago. Before I could react, he continued: “This is really an interesting and special destination for Ealing. A lot of tourists have come to visit.” The man, named Brian, said he lived in an apartment complex right next to the hotel. When he learned that I was Vietnamese, he excitedly said that he had met many Vietnamese tourists coming here, and expressed his admiration for Ho Chi Minh, who had found the way to liberate the Vietnamese people. Drayton Court Hotel is located on the quiet, deserted The Avenue street, in the Ealing district, west London. Photo: VNA/phat Leaving Drayton Court with mixed joy and pride, I continued my journey to the New Zealand building located on Haymarket Street. In contrast to the quiet space of Drayton Court on the deserted The Avenue, the modern New Zealand building is located at the end of bustling Haymarket Street in the heart of London, close to Trafalgar Square and the National Museum of London. The New Zealand High Commission’s 19-story building was the first high-rise to be built in central London, on the site of the Carlton Hotel, a luxury hotel that opened between 1899 and 1940 before being completely destroyed by bombs. in war. While living in London, President Ho Chi Minh worked as a kitchen assistant at the Carlton Hotel. The front of the New Zealand building has a green peace sign with the words “In 1913, Ho Chi Minh (1890-1969) – the founder of Vietnam – worked at the Carlton Hotel, the building that used to be on this ground”. This place is probably the most famous destination in London with Vietnamese tourists. Vietnamese delegations to London often ask the New Zealand High Commissioner to visit the basement below the building, where the kitchen of the Carlton Hotel was formerly. The New Zealand building is also known by many locals and visitors for its speciality. As I was reading intently the green sign outside the building, to my surprise a man on a bicycle stopped by and happily asked if I would like him to take a picture of the underside of the sign, because you’re sure I’m Vietnamese. Not only did he agree immediately, but I asked if he could take a picture with me at this meaningful place. The 10-minute conversation between me and Mr. Steven helped me understand his special affection for Vietnam. Steven said he was originally from London, living in Covent Garden, about a kilometer from the New Zealand building. He said he really admired Ho Chi Minh’s patriotism and said that it was that patriotism that helped him find the way to independence for the nation. Steven made me feel really grateful when he said that whenever I or my friends come to the UK, give him a call. Sitting right on the sidewalk, he wrote on a small piece of paper his name, address and phone number, gave it to me and said that he always welcomes Vietnamese friends. I feel very fortunate to have met Steven, because the brief meeting helped me understand that Ho Chi Minh’s patriotism, courage, and vision made the whole world aware of the cause of Vietnamese national liberation. Male. In May 1913, Ho Chi Minh left France for England, the largest empire in the world at that time, to learn English and observe first-hand the dominating power of imperialism. In England, in order to make ends meet and spend money to learn English, he worked hard as sweeping snow, lighting furnaces, helping cooks at the Drayton Court Hotel and washing dishes at the Carlton Hotel. According to writer, historian, director of the Archives Center, Marx Library in London, John Callow, 4 years in London contributed to the formation of Ho Chi Minh’s thought. It was here that he first read the works of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels and creatively applied Marxism to the cause of national liberation and independence. President Ho Chi Minh’s journey to find a way to save the country created a turning point of the Vietnamese revolution, changed the development direction of history and changed the fate of the entire Vietnamese nation in the 20th century. and at the same time make a mark in the history of the modern world. From a true patriot, Uncle Ho became a communist soldier, finding the right way to save the country in accordance with the historical situation of the country. For me, the trip to follow Uncle Ho in London left special emotions. I am secretly grateful to Him because His greatness has helped strangers like me, Steven and Brian become close friends.

Nationwide electricity generation Coal is overtaking wind power again

Status: 06/11/2021 1:53 p.m.

A spring without storms has led to a decline in wind energy. Coal grew to become the most important energy source in the country in the first quarter. At the same time, the demand for electricity is increasing, says Minister of Economic Affairs Altmaier. Electricity production using coal in Germany overtook wind power again in the first quarter of 2021. According to the Federal Statistical Office, a “windless spring” resulted in almost a third less electricity from wind power. According to the authorities, the gap has been filled by increasing electricity generation from coal and natural gas power plants. From January to March inclusive, a total of 138.2 billion kilowatt hours of electricity was generated and fed into the grid. According to preliminary results from the Federal Office, that was 2.6 percent less than in the first quarter of 2020.

Coal, gas and nuclear power dominate

While the electricity in the same period last year came mainly from renewable energy sources such as wind power, biogas and sun (51.4 percent), coal, gas and nuclear energy dominated at the beginning of this year (59.3 percent). With a share of 28.9 percent of the total amount of electricity fed into the grid, coal was the most important energy source for electricity generation in Germany in the first quarter of this year. The amount of electricity generated in coal-fired power plants increased by more than a quarter (26.8 percent) to almost 40 billion kilowatt hours compared to the same period in the previous year. The amount of electricity from natural gas increased by 24 percent to 22.5 billion kilowatt hours. In contrast, there was a strong minus of almost a third (32.4 percent) in wind power: The feed-in of 33.5 billion kilowatt hours was the lowest value for this energy source for a first quarter since 2018. In the two previous years, there was wind power significantly higher values ​​achieved due to strong spring storms.

Altmaier sees increased demand for electricity

Meanwhile, Federal Minister of Economics Peter Altmaier admitted that his department had so far underestimated how much the demand for electricity in Germany is likely to increase in the course of the energy transition. “Due to the more stringent climate targets in Germany and the EU, we have to assume a significantly higher electricity demand than was previously assumed,” said the CDU politician to Wirtschaftswoche. “My house will submit new calculations for this.” Altmaier said that more energy must be produced, “from all available renewable sources: wind power and photovoltaics”. Altmaier said that he would present specific proposals on how offshore wind power on the high seas and other renewable energies could be expanded more than previously planned. For “green hydrogen” for use in the steel industry or the expansion of electromobility, many experts believe that significantly more electricity will be required in the coming years, which should come from renewable energies.

SPD puts pressure on

The SPD criticized Altmaier: “For months now, the SPD and the entire German industry and energy sector have been calling on the Federal Minister of Economics in vain to anchor realistic electricity requirements and a correspondingly ambitious expansion of wind power and photovoltaics in the EEG,” said parliamentary group vice-president Matthias Miersch of the dpa news agency. If Altmaier now announces new proposals, which can only then be implemented by the next federal government, it is “poor” and unworthy of a federal minister of economics, according to Miersch. The SPD had already submitted proposals months ago which, based on realistic electricity consumption, determine the associated expansion paths for green electricity up to 2030 and contain funds for acquiring space and accelerating it. “We could implement this next week,” said the politician.

Criticism of China’s economic project Headwind on the “New Silk Road”

Status: 06/11/2021 12:58 p.m.

China is expanding its influence worldwide, and the “New Silk Road” is intended to further strengthen the country. But the criticism of the project is growing. At the G7 meeting, the Australian head of government wants to report on his experiences. From Steffen Wurzel, ARD studio Shanghai Ding Laisong from the customs authority of the Chinese port city of Ningbo was satisfied at the beginning of the week: Trade with the states of the so-called “New Silk Road” had increased by 30 percent, he said on the Chinese state television broadcaster CCTV. In the case of trade with the particularly committed Silk Road countries in Central and East Asia, the plus is even 50 percent.

Sri Lanka regrets cooperation

China’s state and party leadership continues to sell its controversial strategy and trade project “New Silk Road” within the People’s Republic as a great success. In numerous partner countries, however, the initial enthusiasm for the project has given way to sober insight. China’s state and party leadership has nothing to give away with the Silk Road. On the contrary: in many cases, the Silk Road partner countries have borrowed considerably – with Chinese state banks. This sometimes creates considerable dependencies. One example is the Hambantota port project in Sri Lanka. According to media reports, the expensive Silk Road port project has hardly brought the island state anything economically. Sri Lanka’s Foreign Minister Dinesh Gunawardena now openly speaks of a mistake in leasing the port on the southern tip of the country to China for 99 years.

One billion euros in debt for Montenegro

In Europe, too, it is now becoming clear what the Silk Road critics have been calling a debt trap for years: the Balkan state of Montenegro, for example, had borrowed around one billion euros in China for the construction of a nearly 180-kilometer-long motorway. The autobahn is far from finished. But now the repayment is due – and the EU accession candidate lacks the money. The mood has also changed in large industrialized countries: In Italy, Prime Minister Mario Draghi put the Silk Road cooperation with China on hold, and the government in Canberra has also completed two projects in Australia. Only smaller, more symbolic projects were affected, but China’s communist leadership reacted angrily. She described Australia’s decision as “unreasonable and provocative”.

Australia accuses China of “extortionate behavior”

It is becoming clear that the communist leadership sees itself increasingly on the defensive in the Silk Road project, officially known as “Yi Dai Yi Lu”. Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison complained at an economic conference in Perth “blackmailing behavior” by states like China. “Where compulsive acts have no consequences, there is little incentive to restrain,” said Morrison. Australia’s prime minister called for the sanctioning mechanisms of the World Trade Organization to be strengthened. Because if blackmailing behavior has no consequences, there is no reason for the corresponding states to hold back.

The G7 summit in Cornwall The heads of state and government of the seven leading industrialized countries (G7) will meet from June 11th to 13th in Cornwall, southwest England. For the first time in two years, they will meet again in person in the afternoon. In addition to climate change, the conference will also focus on trade issues and investments as well as the fight against the corona pandemic. In addition, the meeting will focus on the positioning towards Russia and China.
The G7 group includes the USA, Germany, Great Britain, Canada, France, Italy and Japan. Like-minded democratic states such as South Korea, South Africa, Australia and India are invited to the summit as guests. After the government in Canberra demanded a complete clarification of the origin of the Covid 19 pandemic around a year ago, Australia was de facto covered with an economic war by China’s leadership. The Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison wants to share this experience with the G7 countries. He will be a guest at the summit in England.

“The sky is the sky, the wild, the wind blows the grass and the cows and sheep are low.” The galloping horses, the raging bonfire, the lovely yurts, the fragrant roast leg of lamb…For such a scene on the grassland that everyone knows, just think about it. , Seems to make people feel open-minded. Hulunbuir Prairie, with a total area of ​​11.2667 million hectares, is currently the best-preserved grassland in my country and one of the four major grasslands in the world. It is known as “Jade of the North Country”, “Green Pure Land”, and “The Best Grassland in the World”. There are lush vegetation, vertical and horizontal rivers, beautiful scenery and pleasant scenery. You can enjoy the sunset of the long river under the melodious matouqin sound, or you can enjoy the galloping horses in the shining sun. Moreover, the Hulunbuir Prairie is the birthplace of Genghis Khan and the birthplace of many ancient civilizations and nomads. Therefore, it contains too many stories and civilizations, which are worthy of our consideration, exploration and aftertaste. In addition to the endless prairie, Hulunbuir also has beautiful and spectacular wetland landscapes. The Erguna Wetland, located on the northwest side of the Greater Khingan Mountains, is “the best wetland for tourism with Chinese characteristics” and also “the most popular and most beautiful forest tourist attraction in China”, and is known as the “first wetland in Asia”. The mudflats with blue waters, the four seasons are graceful, and the geese and red-crowned cranes that are often heard in songs. It is the most intact and large wetland in my country, and it is the favorite secluded place for countless photographers. The meandering Mozhgler River has nine curved ileums, clear blue water, beautiful water plants on both sides, and unlimited scenery. Mr. Lao She has been hailed as “the first curved water in the country”. In addition, there are the reverie and ribbon-like 186-ribbon river, the Hulun and Beier sister lakes, which means “a lake like the sea”, and so on. Manzhouli, managed by the city of Hulunbuir, is the largest land port city in my country and has the reputation of “Window of East Asia”. Although it is located in the hinterland of the grassland, it has gathered more than 40 ethnic groups including Han, Mongolian, Hui, Manchu, Daur, Oroqen, and geographically belongs to the border between Mongolia and Russia. Therefore, Manzhouli is rich in the three countries of China, Russia and Mongolia. Diverse cultures and exotic customs can be seen everywhere. The castle-like spire building, the giant dolls of a dozen stories high, the Russian girls all over the street, and the dazzling array of foreign goods… people accidentally forget that they are still in the country. In addition, there are heavily guarded border posts, the largest entity country that is awe-inspiring and proud, as well as the ice and snow festival that is not inferior to Harbin and the bright night view of the bustling city.

Scarcity also in the countryside Sought-after building land

Status: 10.06.2021 10:24 a.m.

For a long time, rural regions were considered the ideal place to realize the dream of an affordable home. In the meantime, not only have the construction costs increased. Finding a plot of land is often difficult. From Iris Völlnagel, SWR Sometimes Dirk Gaul-Roßkopf would like to be able to do magic. The mayor of Planig in Rhineland-Palatinate receives at least three inquiries per week, mainly from young families. You are looking for an apartment or a building plot. Many of them come from or live nearby. There are now around 100 inquiries piling up on the mayor’s desk. He would like to offer the families a home in the district of Bad Kreuznach, which has almost 3,000 inhabitants. From his point of view, the place has a lot to offer: many associations, two daycare centers, one elementary school. A train stop is to come in 2027 and the cities of Mainz and Wiesbaden can be reached in less than 40 minutes via the motorway. “That is why it is very important that the young people can stay here and that others settle down.”

Lack of living space – a nationwide problem

Only what to do when there is neither affordable housing nor building space? A problem that now exists all over Germany, especially in the larger cities and metropolitan areas. Many apartments in Germany are considered overcrowded. This means that an apartment has too few rooms in relation to the number of people. According to a survey by the Federal Statistical Office, this applied to 6.4 million people in 2019.

Every week the mayor Gaul-Roßkopf receives several inquiries from interested parties for building plots. Image: Iris Völlnagel In 2018, the federal government decided made their residential summit to have 1.5 million new apartments built in the current legislative period. That would have been around 375,000 per year. According to the latest figures from the Federal Statistical Office, a good 306,000 apartments were completed in 2020, around 293,000 in 2019 and around 287,000 in 2018.

Sought-after building land

But it’s not just about apartments, but also about the space to build. In the center of Planig there are ten building plots that would be ideal as building sites. “Ideal building plots, that would give at least three to four homes,” says Gaul-Roßkopf as he walks through the town. He has spoken to the owners several times, but they neither want to sell nor build on it. This is also a problem in many cities. The federal government tried to counter this with the building land modernization law. It is intended to strengthen the municipalities’ right of first refusal. For example, the law stipulated that in areas with tense housing markets, municipalities would be given more time and opportunities to purchase land or buildings for sale themselves in order to then build new apartments. Sounds good, but is of no use in practice, says Gaul-Roßkopf. “Where should a municipality like us, which is struggling with a budget freeze, still spend money on building land?”

Mayor Gaul-Roßkopf has high hopes for an ongoing construction project in Planig. Image: Iris Völlnagel

Future in plan

The mayor Gaul-Roßkopf is therefore placing a lot of hope in a new construction project. At the entrance to the community, several blocks with two-story single-family houses are being built on 4800 square meters. Most of the objects have already been sold, costs: from 300,000 euros. In addition, the community on the outskirts is in the process of developing a new development area. “The further we go outside, the more expensive it gets. Because wherever roads and everything have to be made, the price of land will also go up,” said the mayor. Compared to some big cities, the prices in Planig may still be cheap. But the dream of a cheap country apartment is quickly over.

Plan from El Salvador Bitcoin mining with volcanic energy?

Status: 10.06.2021 12:45 p.m.

Completely clean, completely renewable: El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele plans to mine Bitcoins with the help of energy from volcanoes. This is how the country wants to get its high energy consumption under control. El Salvador wants to use geothermal energy from volcanoes for the energy-intensive mining of the crypto currency Bitcoin. President Nayib Bukele tweeted that he had commissioned the state-run geothermal electricity company LaGeo to work out a corresponding plan. The President is convinced that this is very cheap, 100 percent clean and renewable, does not generate any emissions and will develop quickly. There are more than a dozen volcanoes in El Salvador, many of which are still active.

Huge energy requirements

The immensely high energy requirement of Bitcoin mining has been discussed critically in public for a long time. The Cambridge Center for Alternative Finance (CCAF) is working on this topic and has created an index on it . The Cambridge Bitcoin Electricity Consumption Index is supposed to estimate in real time how much electricity is currently being used for mining. The data is then extrapolated to the year. The calculated value is currently around 111 terawatt hours. This corresponds roughly to the annual electricity consumption in the Netherlands. According to the Federal Environment Agency, Germany consumed around 553 terawatt hours in 2020. According to a study by Bank of America, the global Bitcoin industry emits a total of 60 million tons of CO2 annually, which corresponds to the emissions of around nine million cars.

Bitcoin as a means of payment …

A few days ago, Bukele announced that El Salvador would be the first country to introduce Bitcoin as legal tender . He expects the move to create thousands of new jobs in the Central American country. Among other things, taxes should be able to be paid in Bitcoin. Bitcoin is the most popular digital currency. It is not issued by a central bank, but created using a decentralized computer process known as mining. It is by no means clear whether it is even suitable as a means of payment.

… or as an object of speculation?

Because so far, cryptocurrencies have mainly attracted attention as speculative objects, the value of which is subject to extreme fluctuations: Bitcoin was quoted at more than $ 55,000 around May 10, and is currently around $ 36,000. If the value of part of the income is exposed to such strong fluctuations within a very short period of time, this poses a number of problems for a state budget policy. The high volatility of cryptocurrencies is also an incalculable risk for companies. The US electric car maker Tesla, for example, started in March of this year To accept Bitcoin as a means of payment for its vehicles and reversed this step a little later . As a justification, Tesla boss Elon Musk referred to the “insane” energy consumption of prospecting. But it is likely that Musk, as a businessman, at least had these price fluctuations in mind.

Laos injects three vaccines, Pfizer, AstraZeneca and Sinopharm, free of charge to the people. On June 15, Laos started a new round of free vaccinations for people to reach the goal of 50% of the population being vaccinated against Covid-19. Vaccination in Laos has slowed down for a while because the country has to balance both the amount of vaccine received as well as the increasing demand for vaccination of the people after the second round of Covid-19 outbreak in Laos. Laos in mid-April. The latest batch of vaccines that Laos received was on the afternoon of June 14, with the help of China with the amount of 500,000 doses of Sinopharm vaccine that arrived in Vientiane through Wattay international airport.

According to the Lao Ministry of Health, the country has started a new round of vaccination with specific regulations for different vaccines that Laos receives aid from countries and international organizations. Accordingly, from today, starting the first dose of Pfizer vaccine in Vientiane, this is the number of vaccines Laos received by COVAX on June 2 with the amount of 100,620 doses. This vaccine can only be administered in Vientiane because the Pfizer vaccine is the type that needs to be stored in special equipment. Subjects include three subjects who are over 60 years old, people with underlying medical conditions, and officials and civil servants with a high-risk working environment for Covid-19. In addition, starting today, Laos also deployed the first dose of Sinopharm vaccine after receiving another 500 thousand doses from China; Administer the second dose of AstraZeneca vaccine to subjects who received the first dose.

Iceland’s black beach is a must in the world, and it is also here Liu Haoran blockbuster Filming location.

The black sand and white waves formed a strong contrast under the sun, and the “Bijiashan” reef faced each other across the sea, echoing each other, as if they had come to an alien world.

From the black sand beach, the North Atlantic Ocean is endless.

game of Thrones

“A Song of Ice and Fire”

In fact, it is precisely because of the uniqueness of Iceland that many film and television dramas come here for filming, the famous “game of Thrones” Is one of them.

Why choose Iceland?

Because I really can’t think of any place where we can weave the impossibly terrible Great Wall and the north of the Great Wall.

Let fiction and reality blend so perfectly in the mysterious and beautiful nature.

Iceland did it.

“A Song of Ice and Fire” It is really the best interpretation of Iceland.

One-eighth of the country is covered by ice and snow, but there are surprisingly many volcanoes. There are more than 200 volcanoes, of which more than 30 are still active volcanoes.

It is really the coexistence of blazing and glamorous, vitality and desolation intertwined.

“Skoga Falls”

Xue Nuo and “Dragon Mother” flew together, admiring the snow-covered northern scenery and landing in front of a spectacular waterfall, this waterfall is Skoga Falls.

Skogafoss is one of the largest and most magnificent waterfalls in Iceland.

It is picturesque throughout the year and is one of the photographers’ favorite places.

“Icelandic Glacier”

Iceland has the largest glacier in Europe, Vatnajökull , 11% of the country is covered by cold glaciers.

The heavy snow and hard ice created an excellent desolate atmosphere, so many scenes in the play were shot on the glacier.

Boundless Glacier world It is an ice and jade temple in the hearts of the world, it makes all beings crazy and intoxicated.

The river flowing through is like Blue blood , Across this magical land, it really feels like an alien world, which is shocking.

Iceland’s splendor is really endless.

Concentrate on fighting and refuting information and views that are wrong, hostile, and anti-Party and State; negative behaviors according to the motto: “take construction as the main”, “take the positive to repel the negative”. The propaganda period is divided into two phases: Phase 1 is in 2021, phase 2 is in 2022 and the following years. Thereby creating a unity of awareness, political thought and action in the Party and society, in order to successfully implement the Resolution of the 13th National Congress of the Party and the Resolution of the Party Congress. 20th province, term 2020 – 2021. At the same time, it contributes to strengthening the people’s confidence in the Party, arousing the desire to develop a prosperous and happy country; successfully realize the goals of rich people, strong country, democracy, justice and civilization…

The outbreak of the epidemic also made us realize the faces of many businessmen. For example, Jack Ma’s Alibaba donations and materials counted a total of one billion yuan, but in Alibaba, I don’t know how many companies donated materials. And we ordinary people have also extended a helping hand, and even many people who live by picking up trash have donated their only savings.

But such an enterprise became an iron cock when the Chinese people needed their help the most. Of course, Guo Taiming was retaliated soon, and suffered, because most of the Foxconn employees in this epidemic were unable to resume work normally.

Foxconn is famous for relying on the foundry iPhone, but in recent years, iPhone sales have fallen and domestic labor costs have risen. Foxconn has gone to India for development. First, he spent 5 billion in India, but the Indian factory plan was still blocked. Just as Foxconn deployed the Indian market, BYD, a new domestic giant, rose rapidly. BYD is not only an automobile factory, but also a large mobile phone foundry.

The CEO of BYD is an automobile factory in the eyes of many people. In fact, BYD is involved in a lot of industries. BYD wants to step into new fields and acquire the latest popular mobile phone software, from thousands of dollars of Adidas Nike and other sports shoes to major fashion brands. , And then to the LV Rolex and other famous bags and watches that cost tens of thousands of yuan, only one or two hundred in the shopping.Everyone crazy download

In 2018, BYD achieved 19.5 billion yuan in revenue, becoming the second largest mobile phone foundry after Foxconn.

But BYD is different from Foxconn in that it insists on independent research and development of core technologies, continuously improves its foundry strength, and creates its own characteristic production line, which Foxconn did not expect. Terry Gou also realized that Foxconn’s position is being impacted.

Now BYD has won orders from mobile phone giants such as Samsung, Apple, and Huawei, and its foundries are not limited to China. BYD factories have been built in India, Romania and other places. BYD’s early global deployment is worthy of being a new giant that can threaten Foxconn. Gou did not expect that BYD was quietly rising when he was deploying in India.

Foxconn first took a fancy to the Indian market. India’s low labor force can reduce a lot of costs. However, Foxconn has recently suffered setbacks in India and wants to return to the domestic market. It’s easy to leave and it’s hard to turn around. Gou made a wrong calculation this time. The new foundry giant has already swallowed most of the orders, and it’s hard to come back.

It can be said that the Chinese people also taught Guo Taiming a lesson this time. It is not that the mainland cannot do without him, but he cannot do without us.

Pfizer Pfizer,

Moderna Menard,

AstraZeneca AstraZeneca,

Janssen Johnson,

Sinopharm

And Sinovac-Coronavac.

All procedures for vaccination must be completed, and the last shot must be completed at least 14 days before travel.

Tourists from countries at high risk of the epidemic, such as the United States, India, Brazil, South Africa and other countries, are not allowed to enter Spain if they have not received the new crown vaccine without necessary reasons.

The government expects that 15 million tourists will arrive this summer, accounting for 40% of the arrivals in 2019, but the number of tourists Spain will receive in 2020 will double.

But in the village of Tam Duong, farmers still reap rice with ox carts. Most of the people in Kim Long commune are engaged in agriculture, and their year-round life is associated with fields.

In the traditional way, people burn rice straw – both to clean the field, kill the germs of pests and diseases, and as a source of nutritious fertilizer for the next crop. The columns of smoke kept soaring, spreading throughout the space and blending into the sky. Having been born in the village, when going out, no one can not miss the taste of the village, the busy atmosphere of the harvest and the leisurely afternoons watching the vast fields. The sun gradually disappears behind the bamboo groves, the farmer gathers up his farm tools, rests on the side of the field, enjoys the cool breezes that dispel all his worries.
