However, when using a large area of ​​glass material, if not careful, it will cause heat in the building. Here are four factors that architect Vo The Duy (CTA | Creative Architects) should keep in mind when homeowners want to build an all-glass house. Choose glass material This is the simplest way when you want to reduce the heat for the building. In the market, the array of insulating glass or reinforced film is pasted. Currently, this form is very popular when used for exteriors with many designs and prices. The above material can sometimes reduce heat up to 60% compared to ordinary glass. Glass brick with air cushion inside is also a material that is being used with a large area in the building to maximize light but still ensure privacy compared to clear or frosted glass. Arrangement of glass position The part of the contact space near the large glass areas should be a space that is not used much during the sunny period, or the homeowner should separate the main used spaces a certain distance from the large glass area. Homeowners can arrange an area close to the glass as a traffic corridor, atrium area, stairs, garden … House 2Hien (CTA | Creative Architects) uses louver ventilation for the glass roof area for ventilation. Ventilation Glass will create heat inside the building, so homeowners need ventilation solutions. Many townhouses do not use a lot of glass, but after returning home a day, the atmosphere in the house is still very hot. If the wind wants to enter, there must be an exit. Therefore, homeowners should pay attention to the design of slots and doors so that the direction of natural air flow throughout the building, even when the door is not open. Homeowners and architects need to understand the problem to design technical details to help drain the wind well but still ensure not to be thrown when it rains. Wall house’s glass roof (CTA | Creative Architects) uses gravel on the roof to limit the sun and create natural shadows. Sunshade Glass is a material that easily absorbs heat, so if exposed to a large amount of the environment, heat absorption is difficult to avoid. So choose shady locations to shade the glass surface but still ensure to get light such as under the porch, roof … Glass can also be combined with vertical laminar systems, perforated panels to do the task of getting light but still better shading the solution than combining curtain systems. The roof glazing system can also be covered with materials that create effective shading, creating natural shadows such as gravel.

The sensational Everbright Securities MPS incident has the latest developments.

On June 11, Everbright Securities issued an announcement to disclose the MPS matters and follow-up situation of the wholly-owned subsidiary Everbright Capital.

The announcement shows that JINXINNC. (Cayman Baptist), the subject of overseas project transactions of Shanghai Baptist Fund, filed fraudulent false statements and breach of tax commitments with individuals and institutions such as RICCARDO SILVA ANDREA RADRZZANI, the original seller shareholder of MPS, in the High Court of England and Wales. The litigation claims that the amount involved is approximately US$661 million (approximately RMB 4.2 billion).

Everbright Securities said that the company’s business operations are currently normal.

Originating from MPS, China Merchants Bank and Huarui Bank invested 3.2 billion in total

What is the MPS project? How did Everbright Securities step on the thunder?

The matter dates back to four years ago. This series of disputes are all related to the “Storm” of the British sports copyright company MP&Silva (the “MPS” project) acquired by Baptist Fund, the executive partner of Everbright Baptist in 2016.

Everbright Baptist, a subsidiary of Everbright Capital, serves as the executive partner of Baptist Fund.

In 2016, Everbright Baptist and Baofeng Investment and Shanghai Qunchang launched the Baptist Fund with a fund size of 10 billion and a total maturity of 5 years. According to Tianyan Check, Baptist Fund has a total of 14 investors, of which China Merchants Wealth holds 53.82%, and Everbright Capital holds 1.15%. The executive partners of Baptist Fund are Shanghai Qunchang Financial Services Co., Ltd. and Everbright Baptist Hui, Baofeng (Tianjin) Investment Management Co., Ltd. Huarui Bank and Shenzhen Hengxiang are also partners of Baptist Fund.

In May 2016, Baptist Fund raised 5.2 billion yuan to complete the acquisition of 65% of MPS. MPS used to be the world’s top sports media company, with business covering more than 200 countries and regions around the world, with more than 90 global event property rights, and more than 30 event rights agency partners. LeTV Sports is its largest partner in China. Against LeEco, the Storm Group at the time also aimed at the sports sector, hoping to formally enter the sports industry.

Among the 5.2 billion yuan raised by the Baptist Fund, Everbright Capital contributed 60 million yuan as an inferior investor. The priority investor China Merchants Bank invested 2.8 billion yuan, and Huarui Bank invested 400 million yuan through Aijian Trust; other investors included Zhaoyuan Yongjin invested 600 million yuan, Shenzhen Hengxiang, Baofeng Department and Everbright Capital jointly invested billions .

In October 2017, MPS lost to rival IMG in the Serie A international copyright bid. In the same year, BeIN Sports took away the Ligue 1 copyright from MPS. Since then, MPS has been losing ground in the sports copyright market. Due to the inability to pay copyright fees, some major copyright owners terminated their contracts with MPS early and even took them to court. In October 2018, with the bankruptcy and liquidation order of the High Court of the United Kingdom, MPS became history. The 5.2 billion yuan investment was “flooded” and the investors encountered Waterloo.

Since then, many partners of the Baptist Fund have demanded compensation from the Everbright Department and the Baofeng Department.

In July 2019, Feng Xin, the actual controller of Baofeng Group, was arrested. Baofeng was in deep crisis and could not protect itself. Everbright Capital has become the main claim target of all investors. Everbright Securities’ 2018 annual report shows that the stakeholders of the Baptist Fund’s priority limited partners have presented a letter of replenishment stamped by Everbright Capital, promising that if the priority limited partners cannot exit, they will be funded by the inferior ones. People Everbright Capital assumes the corresponding obligation to make up the difference.

Everbright Capital was sued or arbitrated by China Merchants Bank, Zhaoyuan Yongjin and Huarui Bank, and Shenzhen Hengxiang, and the amount of “debt collection” involved exceeded 4.1 billion yuan. Among them, the amount involved in China Merchants Bank’s lawsuit against Everbright Capital is approximately 3.489 billion yuan, and the amount involved in arbitration applications for Huarui Bank and Shenzhen Hengxiang is 452 million yuan and 168 million yuan respectively. The arbitration initiated by Zhaoyuan Yongjin involved an amount of 100,000 yuan.

On May 31, 2019, Everbright Securities disclosed that the case was at the stage of filing and acceptance, and the impact on Everbright Capital could not be accurately estimated for the time being.

After the MPS incident, Everbright Securities also experienced a series of executive changes.

In April 2019, Xue Feng resigned as chairman and director of Everbright Securities, and Party Secretary Yan Jun replaced Xue Feng as chairman of the company. In January 2020, Liu Qiuming, the original chairman of CM Investment, was newly appointed as the president of Everbright Securities. The former president Zhou Jiannan resigned due to personal reasons. Several senior executives, including the chief risk officer, compliance director, business director and directors of Everbright Securities, have also changed.

Everbright Securities is also constantly trying to hold Storm Group responsible. In April 2020, Everbright Securities disclosed the result of the first instance of the MPS case. The Shanghai Financial Court ruled that Everbright Capital, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Everbright Securities, should pay approximately 3.116 billion yuan to China Merchants Bank and interest from May 6, 2019 to the date of actual settlement. Loss, and bear part of the litigation fees, property preservation fees and other expenses; pay the investment principal of 400 million yuan to Huarui Bank, pay the investment income from January 1, 2018 to the date of actual performance, and bear litigation fees, preservation fees, etc. Currently, Everbright Capital has filed an appeal, and the relevant litigation is still in the process of performing judicial procedures.

MPS risks are fully accrued, and China Everbright is stepping out of the haze

Following a sharp rebound in performance in 2019, Everbright Securities has achieved a three-fold increase in net profit in 2020.

According to the company’s annual performance report released on March 25, the company achieved a total of 15.866 billion yuan in operating income in 2020, an increase of 58% year-on-year, and a net profit of 2.334 billion yuan attributable to the parent, an increase of 311% year-on-year.

However, dragged down by the MPS incident, Everbright Capital has suffered three consecutive years of performance losses in 2020, with losses of 1.634 billion yuan and 2.909 billion yuan in 2018 and 2019, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, Everbright Capital had total assets of 2.980 billion yuan, net assets of 2.442 billion yuan, and losses of 2.069 billion yuan.

Everbright Securities accrued a liability of 1.55 billion yuan for MPS matters in 2020. In the past two years, it has accrued liabilities of 3.011 billion yuan. Up to now, Everbright Securities has accrued liabilities of 4.565 billion yuan for MPS. In the MPS incident, the largest amount of funds contributed by the stakeholders of the two priority partners-China Merchants Bank and Huarui Bank. According to the announcement on the judgment of the first instance disclosed by Everbright Securities, in addition to the priority principal, a certain amount of interest must be paid. However, as far as the current situation of Everbright Securities’ accrued accrual is concerned, Everbright Securities has made a full accrual for this matter.

Everbright Securities stated that since the occurrence of the MPS incident, the company has deeply analyzed the problems reflected in the risk event, focusing on comprehensively recreating the style from improving the risk management system, achieving full coverage of risk management, implementing the responsibilities of relevant personnel at all levels, strengthening professional management and expert decision-making, etc. Control compliance system. The company has carried out a series of risk investigations and rectifications, comprehensively strengthened the management and control of subsidiaries, further built a sound and prudent risk culture, improved the risk compliance system, and improved risk prevention and resolution capabilities. Judging from the 2020 annual results announcement disclosed by Everbright Securities, the company has stepped out of the haze of MPS risk events, the risks have been basically cleared, and the company’s development will become more healthy.

Hearing before the BGH Are CumEx transactions a criminal offense?

Status: 15.06.2021 4:41 p.m.

The first proceedings on CumEx transactions have begun at the Federal Court of Justice. The judges must decide whether the deals are a criminal offense as tax evasion. The verdict will have far-reaching consequences. From Klaus Hempel, ARD legal editors They led to one of the biggest tax scandals in German history, in which the German tax authorities were duped and the state suffered billions in damage: the CumEx business. Investors used loopholes in legal regulations to make big money. They were supported by banks and top lawyers who work in large commercial law firms.

The state escapes taxes running into billions

Essentially, these CumEx deals were about stock dividends. These are profits from stock corporations that are distributed to shareholders. Taxes are deducted directly from this and transferred to the tax office. The shareholders can get the money back under certain conditions. In the CumEx business, investors have used an extremely sophisticated system and have taxes reimbursed that were never paid. At some point the dizziness was exposed. In March 2020, the first defendants were convicted by the Bonn District Court: two British stock traders involved in such transactions. Because they cooperated closely with the prosecutor, they were sentenced to relatively mild suspended sentences. Nevertheless, they appealed to the Federal Court of Justice. He must now clarify in a landmark judgment whether the CumEx business is actually a criminal tax evasion. “In the present proceedings, the Federal Court of Justice is dealing for the first time with so-called CumEx transactions from the point of view of tax evasion,” explains Chief Public Prosecutor Thomas Heise from the Federal Prosecutor’s Office. “He will decide whether the peculiarities of these transactions allow a tax that has not actually been paid to be reclaimed from the tax authorities.”

Warburg-Bank rejects responsibility

One of the two stock traders had earned 14 million euros from the deals, which he is supposed to repay. The private bank MM Warburg was also involved in the business. According to the judgment of the Bonn Regional Court, 176 million euros are to be collected from her. The bank is defending itself against this at the BGH. Your lawyer Ali Norouzi believes that the law does not justify skimming off the funds. “There were no representatives of the bank in the dock, but traders from other companies who traded for their own account and not for the bank,” argues Norouzi. “They made substantial profits and damaged the bank considerably. Their actions cannot be attributed to the bank.”

06/01/2021

Judgment expected at the end of July with far-reaching consequences

Nevertheless, the public prosecutor said that the millions in profits would have to be collected. The Bonn Regional Court followed this legal opinion. The Federal Court of Justice now has the final say. He plans to announce his verdict at the end of July. His decision is very significant for the lower level of justice. Hundreds of suspects are being investigated for tax evasion nationwide. If the BGH evaluates the CumEx transactions as criminal tax evasion, there will probably be further convictions in which those primarily responsible must expect long prison sentences.

Judgment on Presale Fees Defeat for ticket retailer CTS Eventim

As of: 06/09/2021 5:24 p.m.

Are ticket retailers allowed to keep advance booking fees for concerts that have been canceled due to corona? The Munich Regional Court has declared a clause ineffective that excludes a refund. However, there is no general claim. Several CTS Eventim customers are upset. You had booked a concert at the ticket dealer early on, which was then canceled due to Corona. Nevertheless, CTS Eventim withheld the advance booking fee. Now they want the fee back. The North Rhine-Westphalia consumer center therefore took it to court and sued the company. With success: the consumer advocates were partially right at the Munich I Regional Court. The judges declared ineffective a clause in which the company had excluded a reimbursement of the advance booking fee if the event was canceled or postponed. A corresponding sentence in the general terms and conditions is illegal.

It depends on the contracts

In the opinion of the court, the ticket retailer must bear the risk of an event alone and should not pass costs on to the customers if the event does not take place. After all, the dealer collects a commission if an event goes off successfully, the judges argue. In addition, the amount of the advance booking fee is often not visible in the ticket prices, the court complained. This is not transparent. However, the judgment, which is not yet final, does not mean that all customers are now entitled to a refund of the advance booking fees for the concert that has been canceled due to Corona. That depends on the respective design of the contracts. CTS Eventim would only be responsible for the reimbursement at a commercial agency. Eventim arranges event tickets either through a commercial agency or through an organizer through a commission. In the latter case, the concert promoter would be responsible for the reimbursement. “We are assuming that in a large number of cases Eventim wrongly withheld amounts of money,” said Wolfgang Schuldzinski, board member of the consumer advice center in North Rhine-Westphalia. Now those affected who are in dispute with the group could ask it to pay and refer to the judgment.

CTS Eventim suffers from the lull in concerts

The dispute over the advance booking fee shows how tense the situation in the concert event industry is. The largest German ticket retailer CTS Eventim is suffering from the unusual concerts and events. In the first quarter of this year, sales collapsed by almost 90 percent compared to the same period in the previous year. The Bremen company slipped into the red. The number of employees including temporary workers fell by almost a third. Nevertheless, CEO Klaus-Peter Schulenberg does not give up hope of a new start soon. He relies on the “longing of people to experience culture together”. The more people vaccinated, the greater the chance of concerts.

EU funds for holiday flyers Aid for Condor declared null and void

As of: 06/09/2021 1:00 p.m.

The EU court annulled a decision of the EU Commission that allowed German aid for the Condor airline. Ryanair had sued against the release. Ryanair has achieved a success against state corona aid for the German airline Condor before the EU court (EGG). The judges overturned the EU Commission’s decision to approve the aid. The decision of the Brussels authority was not sufficiently justified, said the court in Luxembourg. In practice, however, this initially has no consequences: the effect of the declaration of invalidity was suspended until the EU Commission has passed a new decision. This means that Condor does not have to repay the money immediately.

Loan of 550 million euros

Germany had registered the aid in favor of Condor in Brussels in April 2020. This involved two government-secured loans with reduced interest rates in the amount of 550 million euros. The background was damage caused by the cancellation or postponement of flights due to travel restrictions in the corona pandemic. The low-cost airline Ryanair complained, among other things, of violations of the free movement of services and filed a lawsuit against the release.

Connection with bankruptcy proceedings?

At Condor, the situation had worsened due to the bankruptcy of the parent company Thomas Cook in autumn 2019, which preceded the corona crisis. The airline was only able to continue working with rescue aid of 380 million euros, which was also approved by the EU. The insolvency proceedings initiated at the time had to be extended after the outbreak of the Corona crisis because the new owner, the Polish aviation company PGL, had jumped off. The 550 million euros in government aid also included costs that resulted from the extension of the insolvency proceedings at Condor. Ryanair had argued that the commission had not explained why it had even included the extended insolvency period when calculating the damage to Condor from the corona crisis. The Condor case is one of many in which Ryanair is taking action against state corona aid for competitors. So far, the plaintiff has succeeded in some cases but not in others. (Case T 665/20)

Court separates claim from administrative case vụ In 2015, Mr. Tien (Mrs. Ngoc’s husband) won the auction of two stalls in Cao Lanh City’s cage and signed a contract with the management board of the market to sell sports equipment. After that, he asked to switch to selling cosmetics and was approved by the Finance – Planning Department, so he bought more than 500 million dong of goods for sale. More than a month later, he had his license to sell cosmetics revoked. The market management board of Cao Lanh city, Dong Thap province seized the goods of Mrs. Dang Thi Bich Ngoc and her husband. Photo: YC In July 2016, Chairman of the City People’s Committee Cao Lanh fined Ms. Ngoc 2.5 million dong for doing business as a household business without a business household registration license in accordance with the law. Ms. Ngoc complained but was denied. Because she still sells cosmetics, the chairman of the City People’s Committee again fined her 3 million dong. Ms. Ngoc sued all three of the above decisions. Then she closed the counter, waiting for the trial, the market management board unlocked the stall by itself, seizing all the cosmetics. In 2018 and 2019, the People’s Court of Dong Thap province and the High People’s Court in Ho Chi Minh City both accepted the petition of Ms. Ngoc and her husband, declaring to cancel all three decisions. The claim was separated by the court into another case. Accepted for nearly two years, brought to trial three times and then suspended According to the instructions of the two judgments above, Ms. Ngoc and her husband went to sue the Chairman of the People’s Committee and the People’s Committee of Cao Lanh City for compensation. Specifically, regarding the compensation claim, the first instance court said that it was not related to administrative decisions but to civil business and commercial relations, so it should be separated into another case. As for the appellate court, it clearly states that “the fact that the market management board officers counted, counted and sealed the goods Ms. Ngoc was selling, if causing damage to Ms. Ngoc, she has the right to sue these people to demand compensation for the damage. by another case”. Since then, she has sued the president and Cao Lanh City People’s Committee for compensation as instructed by the two courts. However, the Cao Lanh City People’s Court, after accepting this case for nearly two years and bringing it to trial three times, suspended it on the grounds that the lawsuit claim had been settled by a legally effective judgment. Previously, at the trial on March 25, 2021, the trial panel paused the trial and transferred the file to the police agency to see if there were signs of criminal offense when losing her box… As soon as she received the decision, Ms. Ngoc appealed the request to cancel the suspension decision and asked the court to continue the settlement. According to Ms. Ngoc, the court’s suspension is to deprive her of her right to sue, which is an illegal act. At the same time, Ms. Ngoc also filed a complaint against the judge who was handling the case because she thought that the judge was not objective, lacked transparency, and issued an illegal suspension decision. Court accepted the reason there was “misunderstanding” Talking to PV, the judge dealing with the case said that Ms. Ngoc must sue the market management board about a contract dispute or a civil dispute for compensation for damage from the contract. The judge analyzed: Ms. Ngoc asked the Chairman of the People’s Committee and the People’s Committee of Cao Lanh City to pay compensation due to the administrative decision, the appellate judgment of the High People’s Court was resolved (rejecting the request because the above decisions were not the original reason). directly causing damage to Ms. Ngoc). Reporter asked: “If so, why is the court still accepting, after nearly two years and three times of trial, it has been suspended?”. The judge admitted the court also had a “misunderstanding”. After a period of research, she realized that the court stopped her and allowed her to sue again with another case. Court suspension: Wrong or right? Commenting on this issue, Dr. Nguyen Van Tien, Deputy Dean of the Civil Faculty of Ho Chi Minh City University of Law, said that: According to the notice not to prosecute the case of Cao Lanh City Police and the decision to settle the complaint of the Procuracy. It was found that due to the direction of the Chairman of the People’s Committee and the People’s Committee of Cao Lanh City, the market management board came to seize the goods. Therefore, the fact that Ms. Ngoc sued the Chairman of the People’s Committee and the People’s Committee of Cao Lanh City is grounded. However, even if the market management board follows the instructions, they are still the ones who directly seize the goods leading to damage, so the market management board must be responsible. The Finance – Planning Department (with written consent for Ms. Ngoc to convert the counter into a cosmetic business) together with the Market Management Board to seize the goods, should also be jointly responsible. According to Dr. Tien, the general rule is that whoever causes damage must compensate. Therefore, Ms. Ngoc can sue the Chairman of the People’s Committee, the People’s Committee of Cao Lanh City, the Market Management Board and the Finance – Planning Department to jointly compensate for damage caused by the illegal seizure of goods. Dr. Tien said that the court’s suspension on the grounds that Ms. Ngoc’s request was resolved was not convincing. In this case, the court needs to clarify the cause-and-effect relationship between the decision-making and direction of the City People’s Committee and the seizure of goods by the market management board. It can be seen that the cause of the incident was partly from the direction of the City People’s Committee, but the market management board did not voluntarily implement it. Therefore, Ms. Ngoc’s lawsuit to request the defendants to jointly compensate must be considered an unresolved claim as determined by the first-instance and appellate judgments in the previous administrative case. Sued additional market management board, why still suspend? Before filing the lawsuit, I reported the seizure of goods to the police to investigate the crime of openly appropriating property. However, the police and the People’s Procuracy of Cao Lanh city said that the market management board performed the tasks assigned by the People’s Committee of Cao Lanh City, with no signs of crime. Therefore, my wife and I sued the Chairman of the People’s Committee and the People’s Committee of Cao Lanh City. My third additional claim is that the Chairman of the People’s Committee, Cao Lanh City People’s Committee, Market Management Board, Finance – Planning Department (under Cao Lanh City People’s Committee, participating as a related person) must jointly compensate usually the amount of goods illegally seized (nearly 500 million dong), not a claim for compensation caused by an administrative decision.

Where do skyscrapers come from? Historically, high-rise buildings have been the place to preserve the value of a great religion or empire. For example, the Giza pyramid complex – built to house the tomb of Pharaoh Khufu – used to be more than 145 meters high. It was the tallest man-made structure for nearly 4,000 years, before being surpassed by the 160-meter-tall Lincoln Cathedral in the 14th century. Other ancient structures such as the Potala Palace of Tibet or the monasteries of Athos were all built on top of the mountain, with man’s ambition to touch closer to heaven. However, according to CNN, the definition of “high-rise building”, the forerunner of skyscrapers, was only really born in the 20th century. Famous architect Richard Rogers once said that the 20th century was unified. Ruled by innovation and science, with powerful impacts in every sector, including construction. According to Carol Willis, director of New York’s Skyscraper Museum, in the late 1800s, industrialization pushed urban populations and land prices up, prompting large-capacity buildings to be built in Limited space becomes the optimal solution to save costs. Meanwhile, the American technological revolution from 1880 to 1890 saw an explosion of new inventions, helping architects to build taller, stronger buildings. The birth of the Bessemer steelmaking method allowed the design of the frame to be taller and more flexible than the cast iron of the previous era. The newly invented water system has helped buildings to break the strict 23 meter height limit that was in place to control fire risk. In particular, the patent for AC power has allowed electric elevators to operate at a height of up to 10 floors. Thanks to that, in the 1880s, the first generation of skyscrapers officially appeared in Chicago and New York. Thanks to that, America, the land of dreams, is believed to be the birthplace of modern skyscrapers. Architects Louis Sullivan and Dankmar Adler first coined the term “high-rise office building” in 1896. Accordingly, based on Renaissance architecture, the buildings were built up to 10 floors. with the first two floors being the main hall and stalls, some services located in the basement, the upper floors “stacked”, ending with a roof or attic placed on top, with a piping system. vertical conductor linking the building to the power source, heat. Later, the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) maintained a set of criteria for defining tall buildings, defining it as a multi-storey structure designed for residential and commercial use. or manufacturing operations. Built after the great fire of 1871, the 12-story Home Insurance building in Chicago – completed in 1884 by William Le Baron Jenney – is now considered the first high-rise of the industrial era. In the next 100 years since the inauguration of the Home Insurance building, the United States has always been the “gathering” of the world’s tallest buildings. In New York alone, the world’s tallest building record was broken six times between 1908 and 1931 – with the height of the structures having doubled, from the Singer Building to the Building Empire State. Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world today, a symbol of the pinnacle of modern skyscraper architecture. Photo: CNN. Why do skyscrapers exist? After just over a century, domination of the “skyscraper” market has gradually shifted from the US to the Eastern Hemisphere. Malaysia was the first country to break the US record for the tallest buildings in the world when the Petronas Twin Towers were completed in 1998. The Taipei 101 building of Taiwan, China is the next building to hold this record, starting in 2004. Currently, the 163-storey Burj Khalifa, which rises more than 800 meters above the Dubai sky, has become the New symbol of the world’s skyscrapers arena. CNN points out that, more than the purpose of building offices or houses, more than demonstrating the economic and technological levers that profoundly affect construction architecture, skyscrapers like Petronas or Burj Khalifa are also is a symbol for “I” – a measure of brand value. In a report presented at the 2007 CIB World Tall Buildings Conference, expert Eldemery Ibrahim said that the development of tall buildings is also a symbol of power, status, and prestige. As analyst Sorkin in his Architectural Record once wrote, “the historic race to the sky reveals the contrast of tradition and modernity, influencing ‘structure’, even culture, and politics. of a land”. Not only that, the official website of the Burj Khalifa Building, confidently asserts: “Not only is the tallest building in the world, Burj Khalifa is also an unprecedented example of international cooperation, a symbol of prosperity. progressive and a symbol of a new, dynamic and prosperous Middle East. More than that, it is tangible evidence of Dubai’s growing role in a changing world.” Also, today, it is a fact that not all the space inside the skyscrapers is used. The term “vanity height” was coined by CTBUH in 2013 to describe just that, describing the height difference between the top of a skyscraper and the highest usable floor. According to CTBUH, about 29% of the area of ​​the Burj Khalifa Building has a frivolous height. Nine other high-rise buildings in the US, China and the UAE also had a height unavailable ratio of 28% to 36%. According to CTBUH, 61% of the world’s skyscrapers would lose their super-tall building status without this frivolous height. This makes the media, including many big names like BBC, Daily Telegraph and some architectural experts doubt the necessity of building skyscrapers, when it does not necessarily meet the purpose. Initially, the high-rise buildings aimed at serving people’s needs. However, a remark made by architect Louis Sullivan in 1896 somewhat overturned these doubts: “What is the principal characteristic of a high-rise office building? It was lofty arrogance. That should be the height. Power and strength must be there, aura and arrogance must be there. It has to be a proud subject and soars to every inch, straight from bottom to top as a single unit without a single line of deviance.” The number of skyscrapers will decrease in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Photo: CNN. New definition of “skyscrapers” in life “new normal”? In 2014, the world entered a period of boom in the number of skyscrapers, with nearly 100 buildings over 200 meters tall being built. According to research site The Towel Info, in recent years, developed countries have emerged as centers of new generation high-rise buildings, especially in urban areas of Japan or China, where An inch of land is more precious than gold. According to CTBUH, 191 “ultra-tall” skyscrapers – a term that describes buildings at least 300 meters tall – have been completed. Although skyscrapers started out as an American phenomenon, the Middle East and Asia – especially China – currently dominate the skyscraper construction market. CTBUH data shows that China accounts for more than half of all new skyscrapers built in 2020 that are 200 meters or more in height, while Dubai has more new skyscrapers by far than any other city. other. However, the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic seems to be slowing down the racing track of skyscrapers, because the higher the number of floors, the higher the construction cost. According to CNN, all buildings reach a limit where adding an extra floor will cost more to build than it will make in profit. William Clark and John Kingston – two economists and architects – once asserted in 1930 that the maximum profit height for a skyscraper in New York in 1920 was no more than 63 stories. Thus, buildings that exceed the ceiling height (from time to time) will show that investors are overestimating the profits that can be obtained from the construction of new buildings. So far, that’s still true. For the same reason, in 2020, the number of new skyscrapers built globally will decrease by more than 20%. CTBUH attributed this drop to COVID-19, when projects around the world were “paused” because of the persistently imposed blockade and distance orders. “As tall buildings often depress economic indicators, any impact that economic conditions or market disruptions might have on projects that are just starting, or under construction in 2020, will be visible,” said CTBUH. “It must be remembered that the economic crisis of 2008 was not hastily reflected, but the decline in building construction was only recorded until 2010 and 2011,” the CTBUH report said, warning. about the risk of delay, even stopping the progress of a series of skyscrapers due to the decrease in investment capital because of the pandemic. However, CNN still believes that the records of skyscrapers will continue to be broken, because their value lies not only in return on investment, but also in prestige and brand. “The role of skyscrapers is divided into two halves,” explains Hong Kong-based architect Simon Chan, because “every city wants to have a landmark that offers a distinct cultural feel, rather than a settlement. mere material needs”.

In feng shui, the kitchen represents the fortune of the whole family, the source of food and the state of health. The kitchen represents the fortune of the whole family. The kitchen is not only a place to cook, but also means a lot of living space for the whole family. Feng Shui expert Nguyen Song Ha said that nowadays, most families have used the kitchen as a place for the whole family to eat together, so they need a cozy and suitable space. Therefore, how to place a kitchen according to feng shui is very interested by many people. Location of the kitchen In the kitchen, the location of the fireplace and the place to prepare the cookware is considered the most important. One of the first factors when placing a kitchen is to have a correspondence with the door and the height of the homeowner. The stove should be placed on the kitchen counter top, the ideal height is 81 cm from the kitchen floor, the back of the kitchen counter is 61 cm. The kitchen is not placed in the opposite direction of the house, that is, the back of the kitchen is facing the front of the house like a south-facing house, but the kitchen is placed in the north direction. The kitchen is dark to look directly at the main door so that people entering from the main door can see the kitchen. According to Bat Trach, the kitchen should be “located in the direction of the sand”, which means that the kitchen looks in the direction suitable for the homeowner’s age and the back of the kitchen is in a bad direction: “The kitchen door is the place where the firewood is put into the bottom of the pot to burn, it must be turned around. in the direction of good, that’s how you will be blessed.” The kitchen layout should not be too revealing, making people see right from the outside or letting the road from the door go straight into the kitchen because it is easy to lose property. The hob also requires avoiding sharp corners as that can harm the air in the house. If the kitchen is located opposite the toilet or bedroom door, the health of family members will be affected. Traditional feng shui believes that making a kitchen must pray for “wind gathering”. The stove looking directly at the main door or behind the kitchen with a window is not good, causing the kitchen to be dispersed. On the other hand, the stove belongs to fire, most resistant to the cool air of water, so the distance between the stove and the sink must be at least 80 cm or more apart. Do not let the sink faucet pour into the stove, do not place the kitchen opposite the refrigerator, freezer, wine cabinet. The stove needs to have a safe distance from all liquids such as cooking oil, fish sauce, wine, pickles, salted eggplants… 90% of families using gas stoves commit a Thuy Hoa error, the impulse is to put the gas tank directly under the stove, need to put the gas tank off the stove, straight the stove, so the rice jar is reasonable. Pay attention not to place the stove on the trench, ditch, water line, and the kitchen must not be a toilet, water tank, fish tank… Straight to the kitchen without a bed, straight to the kitchen without a safe, without leaving the altar straight to the kitchen. Stoves that do not lean against a WC wall contain appliances such as a stove that is leaning against a toilet or a stove that is leaning against a lavabol sink or shower in a toilet. Dining table position How to choose a dining table: in the traditional style, people often use a round table, indicating reunion. In addition, the table can be square, rectangular or elliptical. But avoid dining tables with sharp corners, many sides or parallelograms. The dining table should be placed in a hidden place, not near the door. The dining table should not be placed opposite the altar of ancestors or worshiping gods. Because of such a narrow area, the dining table should be placed a little further away and to the sides, avoiding the case that the dining table and the altar are in a straight line. It is taboo to place a dining table in a room with a crossbar hanging over the head, leading to the owner’s ignorance and loss of demographics. If because of the narrow area that must be placed like that, it is recommended to hang a glass ball with chamfered edges to create the effect of light refraction, circulating the gas flow below the crossbar. * The article information is for reference and contemplation.

At the center of this long-running lawsuit is Fortnite, a popular video game produced by Epic that was removed from Apple’s App Store last summer for violating Apple’s rules on technical billing. due to have arbitrarily established a payment system of their own. Apple takes 30% of the value of in-app purchases on iOS devices and does not allow the use of alternative payment systems. Fortnite’s removal from the App Store prompted Epic to file a lawsuit against Apple. Squeeze the developer Epic accuses Apple of having monopolistic control over the “ecosystem” of the iOS operating system, with app makers forced to abide by its strict restrictions if they want access to hundreds of thousands of users. million iPhone and iPad users, Apple also countered that there are several other places where users can buy apps and their commissions help the company make its devices better and more secure. The CEO has his first court appearance since taking power at Apple. Photo: Getty. Several executives from both sides also testified, including Craig Federighi, Apple’s senior vice president of software engineering, and Phil Schiller, Apple’s former chief marketing officer, now serving as Apple’s senior vice president of software engineering. new role as Apple Fellow. Both were subpoenaed by the court earlier this week. Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney is the first witness in the nearly three-week trial and is expected to end on Monday. Tim Cook and Apple are facing many dangers, not only this cult lawsuit. Cook’s testimony on Friday is likely to spark a battle against the growing antitrust pressure it is facing. Other “Frenemy” (meaning both friends and enemies) like Spotify and Match Group, the owner of Tinder, have all accused Apple of anti-competitive behavior. Even legal authorities in some countries including the US and UK have launched investigations into Apple’s regulations. Despite numerous defenses before Congress and numerous public appearances and interviews, Mr Cook appears to be preparing for his day in court. According to a report from Wall Street Journal , he spent many hours mock interrogation with former prosecutors to simulate what he might face during the trial. “The scary thing for Epic is that Tim Cook is such a compelling witness,” said Herbert Hovenkap, professor of legal studies and business ethics at the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania. He’s doing what he’s been paid to do, which is bringing Apple’s lawsuit to the public.” According to the list of witnesses presented to the court, Mr. Cook will speak about “Corporate Values; Apple’s business operations and the development and launch of the App Store; the competition that Apple faces.” An Apple representative said Mr. Cook is likely to share more from his personal perspective on security and privacy issues – issues he has often criticized companies in the past – and the importance of them to Apple’s product philosophy. Roses come with quality Mr. Cook is expected to synthesize and strengthen the arguments that other Apple lawyers, experts and executives have made during the trial – that the iPhone’s App Store is not a proprietary trademark. The company argues that the 30% commission it receives through in-app purchases is not an illegal gain, but rather to make Apple devices better, more secure like their strict management of applications on Apple devices. In his testimony, Schiller highlighted the amount of money Apple has spent on research and development — an estimated $100 billion over the past 15 years — to make product improvements that developers are benefiting from. it. He also sought to counter Epic’s efforts to accuse Apple of being a monopolist. The lawsuit between Apple and Epic will determine the future of the relationship between app developers and Apple. Photo: Cnet. Epic Games company says Apple is forcing developers to play by its draconian rules such as only using the App Store and means of paying for in-app purchases if it wants to gain access to a market of more than a billion dollars. iPhone and iPad users. (Michael Schmid, Apple’s head of game business development for the App Store, revealed during the trial that Apple made more than $100 million in commissions from Fortnite.) Schiller also listed a range of Apple competitors: Google, Samsung, Motorola, Huawei and even game consoles like Sony’s PlayStation, Microsoft’s Xbox and Nintendo’s Switch. Apple claims that many of these companies also take 30% commissions and have similar restrictions on outside apps. “There are still a lot of other competitors in the distribution of applications, not just Apple,” he added. Federighi, the company’s chief software officer, further emphasized the importance of Apple’s security measures for the iOS operating system on its mobile devices. He even heavily criticized the company’s MacOS computer operating system during the trial. Unlike iPhones, Macbook laptops allow the use and download of applications from outside, a process known as “side-loading”. Epic has repeatedly pointed out and called on Apple to emulate this approach with its mobile devices. However, Apple’s lawyers and executives argue that the iPhone needs to be more secure because the risk of the device being exposed to security holes and exploitation is great, especially when smartphones are used. often contain more sensitive personal data of users than other devices such as computers, laptops… “If you take Mac security techniques and apply them to the iOS ecosystem, with so many devices and value for it, things are going to be a lot worse than they already are. on Mac,” said Mr. Federighi. “We now have a bunch of malware on Mac, which is much worse than iOS. It’s not acceptable!”. Florian Ederer, an economics professor at the Yale School of Management, thinks Cook will stick to his earlier arguments. “It is very difficult to get any new information or arguments from this CEO’s testimony that have not yet been brought to the attention of the judge,” he said. “Basically, having Cook in court is Apple’s best move to show the judge that they are taking this matter completely seriously. If there is any other purpose, perhaps it is the respect of Cook in particular and Apple in general for this lengthy litigation process,” Ederer added.

A shelter room in the basement of a building in Tel Aviv. Photo: Van Ung – P/v VNA in Tel Aviv During the conflict that has been going on for the past week, Hamas in the Gaza Strip fires hundreds of shells and rockets into Israel every day in retaliation for the Israeli army’s attack on this force. According to Israel’s Civil Defense Law, enacted in 1951 and subsequently amended several times, all homes, residential areas, offices and industrial buildings must have additional shelters built. In addition, Israel has also launched many propaganda campaigns, instructing people on how to stay safe whenever the sirens sound. In recent clashes with Hamas, the bunkers along with the Iron Dome (Iron Dome) interceptor missile system have helped Israel very effectively limit the number of casualties from Palestinian shells. The idea of ​​shelter was born after the First Gulf War, to help people quickly reach a safe place from bombs, bullets, missiles or chemical weapons. Later, with the development of the construction industry, Israelis tend to build shelter rooms right in their apartments. Whenever there is a missile alarm, people just need to quickly enter the shelter, close the door and wait until the alarm is over for 10 minutes to be able to go out safely. Currently in Israel there are some basic types of shelter works as follows: Shelter: All homes, residential areas and industrial buildings in Israel are required to have shelters built. The law also allows several houses or apartment buildings to share a bunker. In the event of war, the garages can be requisitioned as shelters or makeshift hospitals.

The shelter room, built of reinforced concrete, is located near the entrance to the apartments. Usually these rooms are used by residents as storage, but when there is an incident, this place will be required to be cleaned up to be ready for people to enter the shelter at any time. Fortifications: Neighborhoods near the Gaza Strip often build fortifications, which are dome structures over buildings to avoid being penetrated by rockets. Since 2008, the Israeli government has built a solid bus stop with reinforced concrete to avoid being hit by shrapnel. Since 2009, all schools in the South have been fortified with anti-missiles. Migunit: This is a concrete structure shaped like a bell or box, with enough space for a small group of about 10 people to shelter. Migunit can be moved to place in vacant lots or near roads so that people can easily access when there is an alarm. Sewer pipes is a pipe several meters long placed near a house that can provide temporary shelter. At the request of the agency in charge of civil safety, the minimum size of the shelter room is as follows: Covered area 13m2 (3.6m x 3.6m), clear area 9m2 (3m x 3m) . Thickness of outer wall 25cm, thickness of inner wall 20cm, thickness of ceiling 30cm. The room must be built of solid materials, with metal-reinforced doors. Israelis take refuge in a sewer when rockets are fired from Gaza.

In the past, when there were no clear regulations, each shelter room was only 5m2 wide and was often used as a laundry room or storage. Later, the law stipulates a minimum area of ​​9m2, but most families still use the shelter room as an extra bedroom or office. In the event of a war, in each shelter people usually keep some items such as canned food, emergency lights, communication equipment, fire extinguishers, copies of important documents, phone chargers, and batteries. batteries, bottled water. There are also some personal items such as money, clothes, candles, medicine, first aid kit and important phone numbers.

However, the accusations of Chanel did not receive the consent of the court. Although Chanel tried to argue that if the Huawei logo were rotated horizontally, there would be similarities between the two symbols, the court disagreed with this argument. Chanel accused Huawei of “stealing” their logo ideas. Photo: Android Authority. “The differences have to be compared like what was registered, not changing its direction,” said the reviewer. This is the second time that Huawei and Chanel have entered into a legal struggle in European courts. Prior to that, Chanel was sued. According to the Android Authority , the famous fashion brand still has a chance to appeal this ruling, when the case will be brought to the Court of Justice of the European Union, the highest authority in the country.

Nguyet Hang and Anh Tuan knew each other while working together at the Youth Theater. At first, she said, we hated each other very much, because I was very disciplined, old, and Anh Tuan was personality, destructive, mischievous. But then love each other without knowing, unable to explain. Probably due to “fire near the straw” and after going out, eating and drinking are compatible. 4 years later, we got married. And to live together up to now is encapsulated in the word “fast”. Nguyet Hang – Anh Tuan Actress Nguyet Hang said that being an actress has one advantage for her to apply in her family life, which is to grasp the psychology to deal with her husband. Mr. Tuan is a hot-tempered person, she knows how to stop, so the family life has been through many storms. “Every time my husband and wife are stressed, I stop because I can’t argue or talk anymore. Mr. Tuan is hot-tempered, even a little dry. I have not heard any sweet words from my husband, nor bought gifts. For the mother and daughter on the holidays But he brings other happiness that I find much more valuable. It is a gesture of taking care of me every day when I’m tired, understanding my wife and children and living responsibly with family, “Nguyet Hang said. The most difficult time with her husband and wife was when she was newly married and had children. The couple’s salary at the theater was too low, Anh Tuan left the stage to go out to do business. The actor’s time was also the time when the couple’s life fell into crisis when Nguyet Hang heard many rumors about her husband having someone else. She flew in to meet her husband to find out the truth and then decided to write a divorce petition. Now remembering that “event”, Nguyet Hang could not help but laugh: “According to the court’s appointment, we came to settle, but somehow closed that day. The two of them finished making pho. So we can’t quit each other. Nguyet Hang still remains young She said, in fact, the story of “fluttering” in a man is very difficult to avoid. Anh Tuan himself is also an artist, so I sympathize. Only it must be at what level, if we no longer respect our wife and children, our family should not keep it. And that was just a “miss step”. I could only hold back when I turned my head. Anh Tuan himself is a transit person separated from the age of 6, so he is very afraid of divorce and needs family affection. I also know that I used to be busy playing, and I also had many shortcomings, but because of the children, we tried to get along. Until now, after many waves, we still go together is an “achievement” already. Because in an artistic environment, there is not much that can go so long. As for the future, no one can tell, but we determine the happiness that day or that day, what we can ignore, sympathy for each other should be ignored. So up to now, our married life is being stabilized temporarily. Economic difficulties are also a big challenge affecting the life of actor Nguyet Hang – Anh Tuan. Once in a difficult time, Anh Tuan thought about riding a motorbike taxi to have money to take care of his family. “I asked him if he was afraid when he was an actor well known to the audience, if anyone recognized it, would he be afraid? He shook his head to say he would cover his mask. I took off the mask again to take me on stage. That sincerity I cannot forget now, “remembers Nguyet Hang. Full happiness of actor Nguyet Hang – Anh Tuan Every time Anh Tuan had a business at a loss, Nguyet Hang had to worry about it all. From renting a house to supporting families, children studying… She said, sometimes the car does not have enough money to repair it. It took us 15 very hard years, fortunately I have grandparents to support and take care of my children to work as a profession. And Anh Tuan, after many times of opening a restaurant with losses, has been successful in recent years. Although we are not rich, our lives are now more stable, not too hard anymore. In 2018, when her first daughter studied abroad in Germany (then got married and settled there), she gave birth to a baby girl. Being a mother at the age of 45, Nguyet Hang confided that she did not face much difficulty because of her grandparents’ support. Adding a member, her family is also happier because “Anh Tuan likes to have many children. He is an only son, but does not place a heavy emphasis on having a son and a daughter. It is simply like having many children”, Nguyet Hang said. share with joy radiant in the eyes.

French luxury brand Chanel

Lost in the “trademark war” with Huawei

According to Reuters, this trademark lawsuit originated in 2017. At that time, Huawei applied to the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) for the registration and protection of its computer hardware trademarks. The logo of the trademark is two intertwined half rings.

On April 21, 2021 local time, the court decided to reject the appeal.

“The graphic trademarks in dispute are not similar.” The court ruling said, “In particular, Chanel’s trademark curve is more rounded, thicker, and the direction is horizontal, while the Huawei trademark is vertical. Therefore, the EU General Court concluded. The conclusion is that there is a difference between the two.”

The report also mentioned that Chanel can appeal this judgment to the European Court of Justice, the European Court of Justice.

According to Reuters, the trademark dispute highlights how luxury brands are trying to protect their iconic logos and trademarks, which usually symbolize luxury, fashion and uniqueness.

Seeing this logo, some netizens said that this logo is very similar to the initial letter H of Huawei, and not similar to the logo of Chanel.

Netizen: Chanel can sue paperclip

“It’s better to say that black and white are used, and the similarity is 100%.”

“Trouble Chanel not to rub Huawei’s enthusiasm”

“I thought it was a power socket,

I never thought Chanel would go there.”

1. Unlawful infringement exists objectively, that is, the cause of legitimate defense must be the objective existence of unlawful infringement from others, but it is not a necessary condition that the illegal infringement constitutes a crime.

2. The illegal infringement is ongoing, that is, the legitimate defense must target the illegal infringement that has begun but not yet ended. If “defense” against an “infringement” that has not occurred or an infringement that has ended, it is not a legitimate defense.

3. Have defensive awareness, that is, the perpetrator’s defensive behavior must be based on the motivation to protect legitimate rights and interests.

4. Against the unlawful infringement, that is, the object of legitimate defense must be the unlawful infringement, not the third party.

5. It does not significantly exceed the necessary limit, but there is no necessary limit to take defensive behaviors against ongoing assaults, homicides, robberies, rapes, kidnappings, and other violent crimes that seriously endanger personal safety.

As the “first share of children’s clothing”, Annell, is the decline in its net profit only due to the impact of the epidemic?

In fact, before the epidemic began, Annel’s performance had fallen sharply, and its net profit in 2019 fell by nearly 50% year-on-year.

In 2019, Annel achieved operating income of 1.327 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 9.41%; realized a net profit of 42.117 million yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 49.49%. The increase in revenue did not increase profit.

(Source: Annel’s 2019 Annual Report)

Annelle did not specifically explain the decline in its net profit in the 2019 annual report.

It is worth noting that the net cash flow generated by the company’s operating activities in 2019 was -46,172,700, a year-on-year decrease of 203.51%. It is understood that this is the first operating cash flow of Annel since its performance was disclosed in 2012. negative.

Business problems “misfortune never comes singly”

Seeing that the performance fell into the situation of “increasing revenue but not profit”, Annal began to find a way to solve it, but the results were very low.

In 2019, Annier increased its capital in Xinyu Infant with 24 million yuan in cash, obtained a 20% stake in Xinyu Infant, and appointed directors, and announced that it will form a synergistic effect with the well-known brand “Sunshine Mouse” under the cooperative enterprise.

Unfortunately, this cooperation lasted less than a year and ended in failure, and the synergistic effect that Annael hoped to form was not achieved.

Affected by the epidemic, Xinyu Yingtong suffered successive losses, coupled with a series of problems such as improper internal management of the company, until 2020, the company has been unable to issue even its annual financial statements.

When I met Xinyu Yingtong, I thought it was already a headache for Annel, but I didn’t expect that the problem that made him even more headache occurred in the same year.

At the beginning of 2019, Annel was brought to court by Honglian International. Honglian International filed a prosecution with the court on the grounds that Annel infringed on its 5 trademark rights, demanding that Annaer stop the infringement, publicly apologize and compensate 61 million yuan for economic losses.

In the end, Annal lost the lawsuit and compensated the other party with 3 million yuan.

However, misfortunes never come singly. After entering 2020, a large number of Annel’s stores have closed down, from 1,505 in 2019 to 1,280 by the end of 2020.

The children’s clothing industry should have been the most potential sector in the footwear industry. In recent years, the compound growth rate of the industry has exceeded 12%. However, the net profit of Annelle has been declining successively. Is the children’s clothing “not easy to sell”? Or is it Annell’s “not selling well” children’s clothes?

The low-cost airline Ryanair failed again with several lawsuits against state aid for competing airlines in connection with the Corona crisis. The court of the European Union ruled in the first instance that the aid granted to Finnair and the Swedish-Danish airline SAS in 2020 was compatible with EU law and therefore permissible. The EU court confirmed the legality of individual state aid in the corona pandemic for the first time. These are possible to compensate for economic damage caused by extraordinary events.

EU judges: State aid proportionate

With regard to SAS, the EU judges emphasized, among other things, that the measures were proportionate. According to the court, the fact that the governments supported SAS and other airlines did not can be justified by the fact that SAS had a much larger market share in its home markets than its competitors. At Finnair, they found in particular that a possible default would have had a significant impact on the Finnish economy. In both cases, the state aid is suitable to achieve the aim pursued.

Ryanair announces appointment

Ryanair does not want to accept the decisions of the EU court and immediately announced that it would appeal to the European Court of Justice (ECJ). The unfair subsidies should be prohibited in the interests of competition and consumers in Europe, according to the company. It is not the first lawsuit that the low-cost airline is bringing against its competitors: In the past few months, Ryanair had already sued the EU court in 16 cases against state aid. Most recently, the company failed in February with the crackdown on aid from France and Sweden. Because of the almost complete collapse of business in the Corona crisis, many airlines in Europe could only be saved from bankruptcy with state financial aid. Ref .: T-378/20, T-379/20 and T-388/20
