Volume of eight billion euros Immediate climate program decided

Status: 23.06.2021 12:01 p.m.

The federal cabinet has launched an emergency program for climate protection. The program has a volume of eight billion euros – the promotion of energy-efficient buildings is the largest item. The federal government has decided on a so-called immediate program for climate protection worth a good eight billion euros. The program is part of the federal budget for 2022, presented by Federal Finance Minister Olaf Scholz. The climate finance plan is intended to help promote the switch to climate-friendly technologies and to achieve the federal government’s new climate targets.

Largest amount for energy-efficient buildings

The package of measures includes around three dozen funding programs for investments, for example in the building, energy and transport sectors, most of which will be allocated to the years 2022 and 2023. With 4.5 billion euros in the next two years, the largest sum is to go into promoting energy-efficient buildings. A total of one billion euros will also be earmarked for climate-friendly social housing in the coming years; 150 million euros should be available for this in 2022. The plan also includes the plan to raise the minimum energy standards for new buildings.

Hundreds of millions for climate protection contracts

The federal government intends to provide another larger amount – 650.2 million euros – for climate protection agreements with industry. These contracts are state funding programs that are intended to offset the additional costs for climate-friendly production, for example for the use of green hydrogen. The steel industry is to receive 100 million euros for converting its blast furnaces to hydrogen-based production processes. The total funding for industry amounts to 860 million euros. There are also more than a billion more for traffic. For example, more than 300 million euros have been budgeted for the expansion of the cycling infrastructure.

Scholz speaks of “money well invested”

After the cabinet decision, the Federal Finance Minister spoke of a “clear signal”: Germany should “become a pioneer in climate protection”. He praised the plan as “money well spent”. Man-made climate change is “the greatest challenge of our time”, continued Scholz.

In the past two years, the federal government had already invested more than 80 billion euros in climate protection projects. The financial plan that has now been adopted is a template for the coming legislative period. Only then can the Bundestag deal with it again within the framework of budget deliberations and adopt the program

Train drivers union GDL resolves industrial action at the railway

Status: 23.06.2021 12:54 p.m.

With the beginning of the summer holidays in some federal states, rail passengers have to be prepared for strikes. The train drivers’ union GDL decided a labor dispute. The GDL intends to announce tomorrow exactly how it should look. At Deutsche Bahn, train driver strikes in the middle of the holiday season are getting closer. The union of German locomotive drivers (GDL) decided on concrete industrial action after failed negotiations with the employers’ association Move. GDL boss Claus Weselsky will not announce the exact scope and time of possible work stoppages until Thursday at a press conference in Berlin. According to the GDL, the corresponding committee resolutions are available. A railway spokeswoman asked the union to return to the negotiating table. There are well-founded offers for more wages and additional protection against dismissal on the table, about which the GDL top has so far refused serious negotiations.

First warning strike since December 2018

Immediately before the start of the school holidays in several federal states, the union is increasing the pressure on the management of the railway. The GDL declared the negotiations to have failed last Tuesday. It is the first warning strike on the railways since December 2018, when the Railway and Transport Union (EVG) called on its members to take part in a labor dispute. Both unions are fighting with each other for influence in the state company. The EVG had already reached a collective agreement last autumn. From the beginning of 2022, employees will receive 1.5 percent more money – little compared to collective bargaining rounds in better times. Compulsory redundancies are excluded until the end of 2023.

GDL wants more

The GDL wants to get more out of money and working hours. Both sides had moved somewhat towards each other before the failure of the negotiations. Based on the collective bargaining agreement for the public service, the GDL is calling for an income increase of 1.4 percent plus a corona bonus this year and a further 1.8 percent next year. The employees deserved more than compensation for the price increase, argues Weselsky.

According to its own statements, Deutsche Bahn had proposed increases in incomes as in the public sector, but in relation to the airport sector. An “emergency collective agreement” had been concluded for airports because of the slump in traffic. The 1.4 percent increase in income there will only be in October 2022, the other 1.8 percent not until April 2023. Employers will also have the option of reducing working hours by six percent in 2022. The level of the collective agreement for the public service is to be reached in October 2023

Many small and medium-sized securities companies are trying to increase their capital strength through fixed increase

According to a reporter from the Cailian News Agency, in recent years, regulators have implemented risk control index management for securities companies with net capital and liquidity as the core. The China Securities Regulatory Commission has successively revised the Measures for the Management of Risk Control Indexes for Securities Companies and the Risk Control Indexes for Securities Companies. The Regulations on Calculation Standards have further improved the risk control index system of securities companies with net capital and liquidity as the core, and has put forward higher standards for the risk management of securities companies.

In the face of liquidity pressure and changes in the operating environment, many securities firms are increasing their capital strength through further fixed increases, reducing liquidity risks, and improving the company’s overall risk management capabilities and risk resistance capabilities.

On June 4, Zhongshan Securities’ parent company Jinlong shares issued a fixed increase plan. This time the proposed additional issuance of no more than 264 million shares (including the number), the issue price is 12.59 yuan, and it is planned to raise no more than 3.324 billion yuan.

According to a reporter from the Financial Associated Press, some of the securities firms’ fixed increase and decrease are related to the company’s own stock price changes and capital replenishment. China Securities Investment Corporation previously stated that there are two reasons for the company’s fixed growth and shrinkage: one is that the company’s A-share share price in 2020 has risen sharply compared with January 2019, and the forecast basis has changed; the second is that the company has achieved a certain amount of profit through rollover in the past two years. Capital replenishment.

Large brokerages have also raised funds through refinancing

In addition, large securities companies have also raised funds through fixed increase, allotment and other methods. On the evening of February 26 this year, CITIC Securities announced a 28 billion yuan allotment plan, which is to be used for the development of capital intermediary business, subsidiaries, and information system construction.

In August last year, Haitong Securities planned to raise 20 billion yuan in additional funds. Specifically, Haitong Securities’ fixed increase of 20 billion this time, of which no more than 6 billion will be used to develop capital intermediary business and further enhance financial service capabilities; not more than 10 billion will be used to expand the scale of FICC investment and optimize the asset-liability structure.

Also in August last year, Guosen Securities raised an additional 15 billion yuan. The net proceeds raised this time will be used to supplement the company’s capital, working capital and repay debts to expand the business scale and enhance the company’s ability to resist risks and market competitiveness.

Clarification from Brinkhaus Petrol is also becoming more expensive with the Union

Status: 11.06.2021 10:40 a.m.

When it comes to the issue of gasoline prices, the focus is on the Greens. The grand coalition decided to increase the price of CO2 a long time ago. Union faction leader Brinkhaus made this clear again, but demanded an appropriate transition period. In the dispute over rising gasoline prices, Union parliamentary group leader Ralph Brinkhaus has made it clear that gasoline would also become more expensive with the Union at the head of the future federal government. “Petrol is getting more expensive, now a little bit, in the second half of this decade it will be really more expensive,” said the CDU politician in Im ARD morning magazine . This was already decided in autumn 2019. “The fight against climate change will not be for free.”

Not the “if”, but the “when” is up for debate

It is important to create realistic and fair transition periods. Germans do not have to sell their cars immediately, but they do have to be prepared to switch to electric cars or low-consumption cars in the future. The social question is not that gasoline will become more expensive. “But the social question is: Do people have a transition period that is long enough to adapt,” said Brinkhaus. This applies not only to gasoline, but also to heating. The plan is to absorb the rising prices through subsidy programs.

Gasoline price hike long been a done deal

In the debate about higher fuel prices, government spokesman Steffen Seibert had recently made it clear that the prices for fuels such as gasoline and diesel would rise in the coming years anyway. The federal government has decided to scale the CO2 price up to 2025, which already has “effects on all fuel prices”, said Seibert last Friday. This applies equally to gasoline, diesel and heating oil. The background to the statements: The coalition of the Union and the SPD had introduced CO2 pricing in traffic and buildings as a central measure in the fight against climate change. Since the beginning of the year, the CO2 price has been 25 euros per ton. According to previous plans, it should rise to 55 euros by 2025. According to calculations, this would mean a surcharge of at least 15.5 cents for a liter of petrol and at least 17.4 cents for a liter of diesel.

Baerbock’s advance fueled debate

In line with the new climate goals of the federal government, the Greens are calling for the increase to be brought forward and for the CO2 price to be raised to 60 euros per ton as early as 2023. At the same time, they propose to give back 75 euros each from the state revenue from the CO2 price to the citizens in order to avoid social upheaval. Most recently, the Green Chancellor candidate Annalena Baerbock fueled the debate. According to her party’s draft program, she advocated a gasoline price increase of 16 cents and, after her announcement, received a lot of criticism, especially from the ranks of the SPD. CSU General Secretary Markus Blume also accused the Greens of proceeding ideologically in the climate debate. “For Annalena Baerbock, climate protection is above all a fight against drivers,” Blume told the media. Mobility shouldn’t be a luxury. Rural areas and commuters will not be allowed to bear the burden unilaterally.

A clear majority rejects gasoline price increases

Environmental groups have long accused the parties of “dishonest election campaigns at the expense of the climate and biodiversity” and argued that the German government itself initiated the price of CO2, which is already making fuel more expensive and will continue to make it more expensive. The opinion of the Germans is pretty clear: According to the latest GermanyTrend three quarters (75 percent) of Germans reject a gasoline price increase. 22 percent think such a measure is a step in the right direction. A switch from internal combustion engines to electric drives in cars is also rejected by 57 percent. 37 percent would support such a measure.

Bundestag resolutions Higher tobacco tax and more protection for “coffee trips”

Status: 11.06.2021 8:26 a.m.

The Bundestag passed numerous laws into the night. Among other things, the redistribution of EU agricultural subsidies was decided and the rules for so-called coffee trips tightened. Smoking will become more expensive in the future. An overview. The plenary session began on Thursday morning – it was only ended on Friday morning at 0.59 a.m. by Parliament’s Vice-President Wolfgang Kubicki. The agenda in the Bundestag was tough. In the last few weeks before the summer break, the grand coalition is trying to get as many projects as possible through parliament. An overview of the most important resolutions of the night session.

Tobacco tax is rising – and also applies to liquids

Germany’s smokers are asked to pay more. The Bundestag decided that the tobacco tax for a pack of 20 cigarettes will rise by an average of ten cents in the coming year. A year later, a further ten cents will be added, in 2025 and 2026 another 15 cents per pack will be added. Vaping e-cigarettes and tobacco heaters is also taxed higher. So-called liquids for use in e-cigarettes are to be subject to tobacco tax in the future; up to now they have been subject to sales tax. An additional tax is to be introduced for heated tobacco, so that in future there will be a taxation similar to that of cigarettes.

More consumer protection with “coffee trips” and online marketplaces

The sale of insurance, home loan and savings contracts, medical products and dietary supplements on so-called coffee trips will be prohibited in the future. In addition, the participants of such trips must be better informed about their rights by the organizer. The fine for violations will be increased from 1,000 euros to 10,000 euros. The new law also provides for a regulation according to which consumers may not be asked to pay before the end of the day on which the contract is signed for contracts that have come about as part of an unsolicited visit to the home. In the future, online marketplaces such as Amazon or eBay will have to disclose the essential criteria for their rankings of search results. They must also inform consumers whether the potential contracting parties are entrepreneurs or private individuals. Rankings in search results must not be influenced by hidden advertising or hidden payments. The platforms must also explain how they ensure the authenticity of user reviews. Fake reviews are expressly prohibited in the future. Advertising in online networks should be more recognizable in the future – this applies to influencers, for example. Labeling is not necessary if the advertiser has not received any money or similar consideration from a company.

Protection of package tours

Consumer protection is also being strengthened for package tours: a multi-million dollar fund will in future protect package travelers from possible damage in the event of bankruptcies. Tour operators are to pay 750 million euros into the fund. The fund is also intended to prevent the state from having to step in when tour operators go bankrupt. The new fund is to guarantee prepayments by customers, the repatriation of stranded holidaymakers and their accommodation until they are returned. It basically replaces the previous protection through insurance or bank guarantees. The background to this is the bankruptcy of the travel company Thomas Cook in September 2019.

Fight against tax havens and money laundering

Capital flight to so-called tax havens is expected to become less attractive in the future. If the Federal Council also approves the new regulation, operating and advertising costs for cross-border transactions can only be claimed for tax purposes if the respective states adhere to international tax standards. In addition, regulations on withholding tax, which are incurred on investment income abroad, are being tightened. The basis is a “black list” of the EU, in which “non-cooperative countries and areas” are listed, which from Brussels’ point of view facilitate tax evasion or unfair tax competition. There are twelve countries such as Panama, Fiji and the Seychelles. However, this list is controversial – mainly because it does not contain any tax havens within the EU. In order to combat money laundering and terrorist financing more effectively, the German transparency register will also be expanded and better linked internationally. Additional reporting obligations for the economy should make it easier to track down letterbox companies and to identify the people behind nested company structures. At the same time, this is intended to protect reputable companies from coming into contact with questionable business partners and criminal machinations. In addition, the investigators in Germany should work more closely with the authorities in other EU countries.

Compensation for phasing out nuclear power

The Bundestag also gave the green light for the compensation of energy companies for the accelerated nuclear phase-out. The adopted amendment to the Atomic Energy Act empowers the responsible federal ministries to conclude a public law contract “on the payment of financial compensation” which ends “all national and international legal disputes”. In March, after years of dispute with the energy companies RWE, Vattenfall, EnBW and E.on, the federal government reached an agreement on compensation: Germany pays the companies compensation totaling a good 2.4 billion euros. This compensates for residual amounts of electricity that the companies can no longer generate in their own plants, as well as investments that the companies made in reliance on the nuclear power plant life extension that came into force in 2010.

Distribution of EU agricultural subsidies approved

The Bundestag also approved the federal government’s legislative package for the distribution of EU grants for German farmers. In the coming years, this will increasingly be based on criteria such as environmental protection and animal welfare. From 2023, a quarter of Brussels direct payments will be linked to certain ecological requirements. For example, there is additional money for not using pesticides or for more nature conservation in meadows and pastures. In total, it is about six billion euros that Germany’s farmers will receive annually from the EU until 2027. So far, the distribution of such funds has largely been based on the area of ​​the farms – regardless of the impact on the environment and landscape. With the reform, small and medium-sized businesses are to receive significantly more support. Young farmers up to the age of 40 also receive more money. In addition, there will in future be a premium for grazing animal owners who have so far benefited little from the area premium. The Federal Cabinet had already adopted the new requirements for the national structure of the Common European Agricultural Policy (GAP) in April. At EU level, however, there is still a struggle about how the reform of the EU agricultural policy should be designed. The aim is to reach an agreement by the end of June. The legislative package that has now been passed, which is aimed at a Agricultural Ministers’ Conference Compromise goes back, then changed again. Previously, the Bundestag had, among other things the powers of the protection of the constitution expanded . In the course of the day, the parliament wants to pass a number of other laws of the grand coalition – for example on care reform and on Compliance with human rights in global supply chains .

The Defense World page said that with this upgrade package alone, the F-15SEs are enough to make the latest version of the Su-30SM1 inferior and slightly better than Russia’s most powerful 4++ generation fighter today. Su-35. American F-15 fighter. According to this source, the Su-30SM1 variant has been focused on modernizing the avionics system as well as adding modern weapons to help it have the same combat power as the Su-35S. So how is the strength of the Su-30SM1 when compared to an opponent from across the ocean that is the US-made F-15SE because both are in the line of heavyweight air superiority fighters with 2 seats. ? The US newspaper puts the situation that once a direct confrontation occurs between these two fighters, will the bigger victory belong to the Russian fighter or the American fighter? First, the strength of these two heavy fighters and always decisive is long-range air combat. While the Su-30SM1 almost retains the hardware components such as the passive phased array radar BARS N001M, with only software upgrades and a faster processor, on the F-15SE is the AN/APG-82 radar belonging to the F-15SE. Active scanning mode (AESA) has greater accuracy, long range and reliability. The biggest advantage of active phased array radar is its ability to jump frequencies very quickly in a very short time, making it impossible for the enemy to take appropriate electronic countermeasures. The radar reflection area of ​​the F-15SE is very small because it is covered with stealth paint and puts all the weapons in the compartment, making it close to the 5th generation fighter. As for the Su-30SM, it has no improvement. No progress in this area, the RCS is too large with the addition of a pair of nose wings, making it possible for it to be detected in advance by the F-15SE from a great distance and launched a missile to destroy. The Su-30SM1 uses an AL-31FN turbojet engine with a thrust of 12,500 kgs each, while the Silent Eagle is two F110 engines providing a thrust of 13,150 kgs. The maximum speed of the Russian fighter is Mach 2, while in the F-15SE this figure is Mach 2.5+. Russian fighters still can only carry 8 tons of weapons, much inferior to the F-15SE, if taking advantage of the external mount, the maximum capacity of the US fighter is up to 10.4 tons. Part of the above advantage lies in the higher durability of the US fighter’s fuselage, which is also reflected in the F-15’s critical flight hours of 8,000 hours, while the Su-30 is still only 3,000 hours. The only way that can make the Su-30SM1 gain an advantage over the F-15SE is to pull it into a short-range air battle, at which point the 2-way thrust vector control engine and the nose help the Su-30SM1 take the position. better mind. But Russia also needs to watch out for short-range air-to-air missiles with a “lock on target after launch” mode of US fighters because this weapon will make the advantage of mobility disappear.

According to foreign media reports, on the 14th local time, SpaceX founder Musk once again posted on the social platform that he had decided to sell the last property he owned. Foreign media said that this move is Musk’s continued fulfillment of his promise made in May 2020, that is, to give up almost all physical properties and “do not own real estate.”

Musk said on social media Twitter on the 14th that he “has decided to sell the last property” and said that this property is a “special place” and he wants to sell it to a big family.

It is reported that Musk has sold at least 7 houses. On June 10, Musk had just posted on social media that he had sold several houses in California. At that time, he said that he only had one house in the San Francisco Bay Area, which was the “last one” mentioned on the 14th. Property”.

Musk, 49, first announced plans to sell his house and most of his property more than a year ago. According to reports, Musk sold his mansion in Bay Air in June 2020 for $29 million. In January of this year, he also sold three other houses in California for a total of $41 million.

A month ago, because of dissatisfaction with California’s home order, he officially moved to Texas. According to reports, after Musk sold his California house, he revealed that he currently lives in a house rented from SpaceX.

Recently, the American investigative news organization “ProPublica” released a report stating that the actual tax rate of American billionaires is much lower than that of ordinary people. The report mentioned that Musk’s wealth increased by US$13.9 billion from 2014 to 2018, but his taxable income was only US$1.52 billion. The total federal tax paid was US$455 million, and the actual tax rate was 3.27%. Musk did not pay any federal income taxes in 2018.

The Eurasian Times has just published a graphic image of a single-engine fighter, believed to be of a future design, built by Russia based on the Su-57 fighter, in order to overcome the biggest weakness of this aircraft. , which is the lack of stealth. Accordingly, Sukhoi Corporation has embarked on the design of a new fighter, based on the original design of the Su-57, but enhancing stealth to a new level. Information from the Eurasian Times also said that it is likely that the next design of this new fighter jet will be equipped with only one engine. So far, the Russian Su-57 fighter has always been praised for its excellent maneuverability and speed, but to achieve speed and maneuverability, the Su-57 at the expense of invisibility. Although Russia has never acknowledged it, many military experts believe that the 3D vector engine design on the Su-57 is the fighter’s fatal weakness in front of enemy radars. Unlike the engine design hidden inside the stealth cover of the aircraft like the US F-22 Raptor, the engine of the Su-57 fighter is almost completely exposed. The radar-absorbing shell of the Su-57 fighter does not cover the aircraft’s engine parts, which means that, even though the entire Su-57 is invisible, its engine will still be targeted by enemy radars. side caught. The difficulty of Russia is that the engine of the Su-57 has too good performance, generates a lot of heat and is a 3D vector engine. All of these factors will make the Su-57’s engine impossible to fit inside the aircraft, nor can it be covered with a radar-absorbing shell on the outer surface. The US itself has admitted to trading the maneuverability, as well as the speed of the F-22 Raptor and F-35 fighters in exchange for superior stealth, but with the Su-57 everything is different. does not appear to be going in this direction. In addition, information about Russia’s next 5th generation fighter model will be equipped with an engine, also making many people curious and excited. Since the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Russia has not built any single-engine light fighter. Russia’s lightest fighter today, probably the MiG-29 – is also equipped with two engines, and can be considered a medium fighter. The single-engine fighter, in theory, is not much inferior to the twin-engine fighter in terms of weapon carrying capacity and aerial range. Not to mention, single-engine fighters will have lower production costs, shorter assembly times, and lower usage and depreciation costs. Currently, on the world market, the US F-16 single-engine fighter is still “hegemonic” and has almost no rival. Despite having only one engine, the US F-16 fighter is still capable of carrying up to 7.7 tons of weapons – only 300 kg less than the maximum weapon load of the Su-30. This is currently also the backbone of the US, with 1,300 in service, the most numerous fighter in the world at the moment. The test pilot pushed the Su-57 fighter to the limit of its maneuverability with a series of unbelievable flight maneuvers. Source: Sukoi.

For months, rats have ravaged fields and damaged homes in eastern Australia, from the Victorian border in the south to Queensland in the north, causing millions of dollars in damage to crops and machinery. A pair of mice can give birth to 500 more pups per season, the females give birth to a new litter every three weeks, and they constantly need more food. Rat “nightmare” for farmers in New South Wales, Australia. Photo: Pelgar International. The New South Wales government is considering a more drastic solution. On May 20, officials announced they had acquired 5,000 liters of one of the world’s most powerful rat poisons to treat rats. However, some residents fear the use of poisons could damage food crops and kill local wildlife. End of drought, Australia meets rats again “We’ve had long, bad years of drought, and then 2020 is going to be beautiful. But there’s always something great happening, and this year it’s a rat pandemic,” said farmer Michael Payten of the small town of Canowindra, west of Sydney, sigh. The rainfall in 2020 is roughly equal to the total rainfall two years earlier, making the soil fertile and yielding a bountiful harvest, but also creating ideal conditions for the rats. “Trying to count the number of rats that are harming Eastern Australia is like counting the stars in the sky,” said CSIRO researcher Steve Henry, considered by the New South Wales government to be Australia’s best expert on the disease. in mice, said.

According to Sue Hodge, a rat extermination expert in Canowindra, when winter approaches, rats even take refuge in people’s homes. Ms. Hodge spends her days dealing with dead rats trapped in a client’s home. She removed rat droppings from the kitchen, the children’s room and even their beds. In her home, Mrs. Hodge used steel wool to prevent rats from crawling in from every nook and cranny. She sets a mousetrap every night. According to the New South Wales Agricultural industry group, the loss of cereal groups such as wheat, barley and rapeseed, as well as forage, is having a major impact on the finances of farm businesses. The survey found that a third of businesses had an estimated loss of $50,000-150,000 ($38,000-116,000). The group warned that the total damage could reach hundreds of millions of dollars if urgent action is not taken. Government measures – immediate but too dangerous The New South Wales government is resorting to “heavy weapons” to end the rat disaster, after weeks of consultations with Mr Henry, CSIRO and farmers. Last week, New South Wales agriculture chief Adam Marshall unveiled “a scary set of tools for rat control”, including free rat poison for farmers. This week, thousands of liters of bromadiolone – a “second generation anticoagulant” has been introduced to effectively kill rats. However, Charles Sturt University ecologist Dr Maggie Watson says the toxin is “too dangerous” to use in the environment, as it can leach into the soil and bioaccumulate in insects. then join the food chain. She said native birds in Australia are all at risk of death after eating a poisoned mouse, and it takes up to 15-20 years for them to come back to life. NSW farmer Michael Payten calls his tractor shed a “rat hotel”. Photo: CNN. Proponents of the administration argue that bromadiolone is highly toxic and will likely kill some native predators, but there aren’t enough hawks and owls for the rat population to drop naturally. While the rat population is unusually high, farmers warn that they are running out of time to harvest the winter crop.

‘Real life Robinson’ decided to give up life on a deserted island after 32 years Mauro Morandi is a man known as Robinson Crusoe of Italy who has been a single citizen on an idyllic island off the coast of Sardinia for the past 32 years. Now, Mauro Morandi has decided to say goodbye to his small hut on the island of Budelli. After many times the local authorities repeatedly sent him notice of deportation if he continued to stay on the deserted island, Mauro Morandi made the final decision. The 81-year-old announced: “I will be leaving. I hope Budelli is still as safe as I have been for the past 32 years. I feel really confused about the situation myself.” The 81-year-old man has lived on the property since 1989 after accidentally setting foot in the Budelli island region after his boat broke down on a journey to the South Pacific. Once a teacher, Mauro Morandi first arrived on the island was fascinated by the landscape and decided to stay. For the past 32 years, Mauro Morandi never took a single step from Budelli Island. He did everything he could to stay on the island. Mauro Morandi said: “I am willing to do whatever I can to stay on the island. I don’t know where else to live, but I certainly won’t return home in the north of Italy. This is my life. “. He will move to a small apartment on the nearby island of La Maddalena. Mauro Morandi has shared his concerns about Budelli’s future, where he has been fiercely defending for the past 32 years. “I recently kicked two tourists out of the pink beach, out of bounds,” he said. sole care, supervisor Budelli “. Mauro Morandi ‘real life Robinson’ in Italy Although living the life of hermit, but not so that Mr. Mauro Morandi ignored the life. The phone was the only means of connecting Morandi to the rest of the world. He has a passion for nature photography and often shares pictures of beautiful islands on Instagram and Facebook to attract more tourists to the island. Five years ago, the Italian government approved a plan to make Budelli a part of the National Park Arcipelago di La Maddalena. The house that has been with him for 32 years will also be recalled to be renovated into an environmental education center. Before that, David Glasheen, a former American millionaire, after losing assets due to the stock crisis in 1987, decided to move to Restoration Island, northeast of Australia from May 1997. He said he likes this place because he feels safe, no matter how old and tough you are, you want to rest assured to sleep knowing you won’t be attacked.

In the wild, the lion leopard is also considered the top predator. However, Messi was born in the zoo and most of the time it lived as a domestic cat, so for the couple, Aleksandr and Maria, they see Messi as a big domestic cat. Although Dmitriev is well aware of Messi as a predator, at a certain point it will “test” their power to see who has control in the house, but both husband and wife have done. the need to restrain Messi’s wild nature. Aleksander and Maria are both well-trained psychologists, they have always loved cats, but never thought of sharing their home with a mountain lion. The cat Sphynx Kira was already enough for them. However, in 2018, when they heard that a leopard at the local zoo was in need of medical attention, the two decided to adopt it. They believe that in the zoo, the animals will have to live in small barns, leaving tourists to visit, so they want to give Messi a better chance of living. The young couple knew that if he didn’t rescue Messi, it might die, but they also knew that the zoo wouldn’t easily hand the young lion over to them. So they decided to pay for Messi and were very surprised when the zoo agreed to sell. The couple brought Messi home to take care of his health, and they also had to renovate and adjust around the house to prepare for raising a lion. Most of the time Messi works like a domestic cat. However, its oversized size does have some disadvantages to it. Alekskandr and Maria have repaired the hallway to a residence for Messi, lined the walls with bamboo panels to withstand the lion’s scratch and convenient if it has to be replaced. They also erected a large trunk for Messi to climb, adding a small hiding place for it below. But it seems that Messi prefers to sit in front of the bathroom window, where he can see the endless grassland outside the apartment complex. To get along with Messi, Aleksandr and Maria sent him to pet training. The results are impressive as now Messi can hear a simple fate like “sit”, “stay”, “come” and “no”, even take him for a walk. Training was important to Messi, but it didn’t have a lot of space in the Dmitriev couple’s apartment, and they couldn’t drop it in the park near the house either. So it was trained to go for walks with the owner. So the locals are no longer too strange to see a man walking a large mountain lion. According to the couple, the experience of raising Messi is incredibly positive. For one thing, they find that living with this big cat also presents certain difficulties. The whole haid can’t go on vacation or hang out with friends. The cost of living meat to feed Messi is also up to 600 dollars a month. Aleksandr and Maria are both aiming to make money to move to a more spacious house, giving Messi some private space. If they achieve this goal, they will then adopt another big cat, possibly a leopard for Messi to have friends. Through the newly updated photos on their personal page, it seems that they have achieved their aspirations. The couple moved to a new home and Messi also has a friend who is a leopard. Currently, Messi has become a phenomenon on social networks, the Instagram account of the family has 1.5 million followers, while YouTube is 1.8 million.

Ayanna Williams, who holds the record for having the longest manicure in the world Williams was recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records in 2017 with a nail length of 5.7 meters. At that time, she had spent two bottles of paint and 20 hours of makeup on her nails. Before cutting it off last weekend, the length of her nails was up to 7.3 m. Dermatologist Allison Readinger, who directly cut Williams’ nails, used a small electric saw to safely cut each nail. Ayanna Williams shared that she feels bittersweet when she has to separate her nails that have been attached to her since the 1990s. will miss them, it may take a while, but now it’s time to let go. ” A close-up of the world’s longest manicure. Williams has been an avid manicure since a young age, asking her mother how long her nails were and if she could paint her favorite colors. Williams also revealed that his decision to cut nails stems from difficulties in performing everyday tasks.

“With my daily activities, I have to be very careful if I don’t want to damage my nails. I can’t do some jobs like washing dishes or bed sheets,” she said.

Williams’ nail set is currently preserved at a museum specializing in the collection of exotic items in Orlando, Florida.

Illustration She tried to take a deep breath and exhale evenly. This way she learned from her friend. Outside, the voice of her mother-in-law was ceaselessly cruel: “Obviously disgusting, there are a few letters that I wanted to rebel. Men, people are part, so we must know our fate! There were people who took the beating like rice, but still tried to keep the door warm, over here, there were only a couple of slaps that made me spoiled. women and girls have to know how to endure, make sacrifices, a little bit struggling like leeches, if they need to be lime, they have to break up early “. Mother-in-law said it for a while and then went out of the house. Sitting alone in the room she has been attached to for the past 10 years, tears began to fall. She buried her face and bit her teeth in the pillow and cried. “Cry, just cry. Cry to wash away the gloomy days,” her friend once told her. This fourth time, she will unilaterally apply for a divorce. Illustration Yesterday, she went home to talk to her parents about her divorce problem. She just opened her words, instead of asking her son the cause of being upset, her father rolled his eyes: “This house does not leave her husband. You are a teacher, teach people, now you leave your husband. Who do you teach? I told you not to listen, you leave your husband and then go anywhere. The sandy soil I have changed to the red book name for your two brothers, so you don’t have anything “. Her mother just kept silent, crying and crying: “How can you be so miserable when you eat and study!”. She belongs to the second half of 8X generation but is still deeply ingrained in her mother’s old thought. Remembering the day when she returned to her husband’s house, it was only because of the mother’s admonition that “the boat follows the driver, the girl follows her husband. If a woman steps to marry, she will live as her husband’s family, die is her husband’s ghost” but she is single because husband, blind sacrifice. After completing the Pedagogical University, after graduating from school, she asked to return to the commune secondary school to teach near her home. Having been teaching for nearly 2 years, researching through matchmaking, she nodded to marry him because … just near the house, the family has conditions. He only finished high school and his parents allowed him to open a shop selling electrical appliances. His work is favorable, the couple is well-off economically. Anyone outside can see that her life is happy and peaceful. But only “in the blanket will know that the blanket has lice”. Patriarch, selfish and unjustifiably jealous. Knowing her husband is jealous, she is always withdrawn, minimizing meetings and contact. Even having to receive male and female parents is absolutely avoided. All her life, she dared not go to class meetings and halls because … he did not agree. Many times she gently analyzed and explained to him to understand, but he refused to listen. Wherever she went, she refused to ask him to go with him. She knows, deep down in his heart, he has a little self-esteem because he “does not study as much as her”. She has told him countless times that it is important that husband and wife love, understand, and respect each other; that she is always grateful because he is good at making money, and is an economic support for her mother and daughter. At first, hearing his wife say, he just hummed, after giving birth, he scolded her for “many words” and blamed her for the crime of liking … “teaching her husband”. Since then, she chose to be silent and pamper him. She still tells her students about the woman’s self-esteem and confidence. During the extracurricular lessons, she taught her children about gender equality, the criteria of a modern woman … Watching her children attentively, her eyes filled with dreams, her heart was excited but every time she turned home, she finds herself petty again. Once, passing by a group of students, she overheard a female student say to her friends: “That’s all for my aunt at school, but at home it is not different from me, afraid of her husband …”. She felt numb. The day before, he came home from late drinking, did not know who said, but he asked her to … quit teaching. He said, when she went to teach, she paid three poles and three dong, she didn’t have enough money for electricity and water, just stay at home to cook and look after her children, she would have everything. Knowing he was a bit of a gas, she did not argue. Seeing her silent, he thought she agreed. The next morning, she stole her schoolbag, he pulled back, threw her stuff. He slandered her and then gave her the conditions to make her choose: “Either profession, or family”. He was so unreasonable, she couldn’t take it anymore. And for the first time after 10 years of being his wife, she firmly protested. He took the right to be a husband, thinking that she was a mess, so he beat her to … teach. She looked back at herself, she never seemed to know how to live and love properly. With him, she only knew obedience and silence. Yesterday, she found a small house to rent. I will move out there while waiting for the court to settle. He tore 3 divorce papers in front of her with the statement: “You can’t leave me to death”. But this fourth time, she will unilaterally apply for a divorce. Living together or divorced? Both solutions suffer. And I will choose less painful solutions, to have the right to love myself.

The Japanese government believes that after diluting nuclear waste to a concentration below the standard, the method of discharging it into the atmosphere or the sea is more feasible, and requires Tokyo Electric Power Company to make preparations. The dumping operation will start in two years and last for ten years.

The Japanese side claims that the treated nuclear sewage is safe, and the radioactive tritium content is equivalent to one-seventh of the tritium concentration of the World Health Organization’s drinking water standard, and the International Atomic Energy Agency approves the discharge of Japanese sewage into the sea.

Since the 311 earthquake occurred in Japan in 2011, about 1,000 water storage tanks have been stacked near the Fukushima nuclear power plant to preserve the sewage that has contacted the nuclear reactor and the containment of the cooling reactor core. According to Tepco’s data as of March 18, The island’s first nuclear power plant has stored 1,250,844 cubic meters of sewage.

The total amount of sewage stored in the storage tanks built by TEPCO in Fukushima is 1.37 million cubic meters (as of December 11, 2020), and cooling nuclear sewage is continuously generated. If it is not discharged or transferred, the nuclear sewage will be Will face no space to store.

Therefore, for TEPCO, there is not much time left for Japan to hesitate, and the government needs to confirm the discharge to sea water as soon as possible.

Although the Japanese government and TEPCO Chen Japan are already unable to store and treat nuclear sewage, it is necessary to discharge it into the sea, but Japanese non-governmental organizations and many Japanese people strongly oppose it.

Over 320 Japanese people protested in front of the Prime Minister’s residence. TheyHolding up the slogan “Don’t Discharge Nuclear Wastewater”, he asked the government to withdraw the discharge decision.

Asahi Shimbun interview62-year-old protest memberInoue NyohiroMeans:”The country said it had to have a proper explanation, but it did not reach an agreement with the fishermen.The unilateral emission decision process is undemocratic. ”

According to a previous survey by Japan’s Asahi Shimbun, more than 55% of the people opposed the discharge of nuclear sewage.

The president of Japan’s National Fisheries Cooperative Association issued a statement on April 13 saying that he regrets the decision (of the Japanese government) and cannot tolerate it. Believing that this is a behavior that tramples on the feelings of all Japanese fishery practitioners, he said that his attitude against dumping into the sea will not change in the future.

Japan is a close neighbor of our country. Once discharged, our country will inevitably be affected by nuclear sewage.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of our country said in a statement: “Japan has not exhausted safe disposal methods, regardless of domestic and foreign questions and opposition, and without full consultation with neighboring countries and the international community, unilaterally decided to dispose of nuclear waste water from the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident by way of drainage. Being responsible will seriously damage international public health and safety and the vital interests of people in neighboring countries.”

The South Korean government also believes that Japan’s decision was made without the consent of neighboring countries. It strongly opposes this and should ensure the openness and transparency of nuclear waste water information.

There are currently 31 South Korean organizations in a joint statement condemning Japan’s nuclear wastewater discharge plan, and that Japan’s move is nuclear terrorism. Some South Korean citizens protested in front of the Japanese Embassy in Seoul, demanding that Japan withdraw its decision.

311 organizations from 24 countries around the world participated in the plan to oppose the discharge of Japanese nuclear sewage. On the change, 65430 people also signed the plan to oppose the discharge of Japanese nuclear sewage into the sea.

In the midst of a condemnation, the U.S. Department of Foreign Affairs responded by expressing its support for the Japanese government’s decision and believed that the Japanese approach complies with the globally recognized nuclear safety standards.

US Secretary of State Blinken expressed his gratitude to Japan for its efforts to deal with the Fukushima issue on Twitter, and looked forward to the coordination between the Japanese government and the International Atomic Energy Agency.

Even after processing,

Is the nuclear sewage from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in Japan really safe?

Japan’s basis is that the treated sewage from nuclear power plants in the world is discharged to the sea. Therefore, Fukushima nuclear sewage is discharged after treatment. Even TEPCO’s materials call this type of nuclear sewage “treated water”.

But is the nuclear sewage from the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan really the same as the sewage from a normally operating nuclear power plant? The processed and compliant data is probably just a side word of Japan.

BeforeThe US “Science” magazine has issued a warning against Japan’s discharge of nuclear sewagebehavior:“Fukushima nuclear sewageExcept tritiumThere are other radioactive isotopes, including carbon 14, cobalt 60, and strontium 90. These isotopes will have a more long-lasting and complex impact on humans. For example, the physiological concentration of carbon 14 in fish may be 50,000 times that of tritium.While cobalt 60 can be enriched in seafloor sediments, its concentration may rise 300,000 times. “

“Science” magazine stated: “The discharge of waste water with these radioisotopes exceeding the standard may pose a threat to marine life, humans who eat these organisms, and the environment itself.Not to mention, we don’t know anything about other radioisotopes except for these elements that have already been published.Discharging without removing all radioactive materials in place may seem too sloppy.”

Nuclear experts from Greenpeace also pointed out thatThe carbon 14 contained in Japan’s nuclear waste water is dangerous for thousands of years and may cause genetic damage.

Ken Buesseler, a marine chemist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in the United States, once said, “Any plan that involves release into the ocean requires an independent team to be responsible for long-term tracking of the ocean, seabed, and marine organisms. Potential pollutants.The health of the ocean and the lives of countless people depend on the proper handling of this matter. “

Liu Xinhua, chief expert of the Nuclear and Radiation Safety Center of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, stated that “historical nuclear accidents, such as the Chernobyl and Three Mile Island nuclear accidents, were all released from the atmosphere.There has not been a nuclear accident similar to the Fukushima nuclear accident that produced a large amount of waste water. Therefore, there is no precedent for the discharge of waste water to the sea after the nuclear accident treatment. “

BeforeThe German Marine Science Research Institute has pointed out:The coast of Fukushima has the strongest ocean currents in the world. Within 57 days from the date of discharge, radioactive materials will spread to most of the Pacific Ocean, and in 10 years will spread to the global waters!

The earth’s ecology is a complete whole. Once Japan discharges nuclear waste water, people all over the world will be affected.
