“Repowering” New boost for wind power?

Status: 22.06.2021 3:09 p.m.

The expansion of wind power has not progressed as planned for years. Now the grand coalition has agreed on a number of measures that should give the industry a new boost. This week, the new Federal Climate Protection Act should pass the Bundestag and Bundesrat. It stipulates that Germany will become greenhouse gas neutral by 2045 – five years earlier than planned. By 2030, 65 percent of climate-damaging greenhouse gas emissions are to be saved compared to 1990. In order to achieve this goal, along with other measures, renewable energies must also make a major contribution. Wind power is one of them. The planned changes are essentially about making it easier to replace existing wind turbines, known as repowering. The new regulation is intended to facilitate the approval of new windmills at old locations and thus enable repowering that maintains the location. This also applies to wind farms that reach up to 350 meters from residential areas – provided that the loads from the new systems are not higher than the old ones. The aim is to make better use of existing wind sites with more modern system technology, said the politicians Matthias Miersch from the SPD and Stephan Stracke from the CDU.

There is still a lack of space

Lothar Schulze, CEO of the Wind Power Plants Association, maintains that repowering is facilitated “basically makes sense”, but criticizes the unchanged strict requirements for species protection. In addition, there is still a lack of space for new wind farms if the goal set by the federal government of reserving two percent of Germany’s land area for wind farms is to be achieved. Currently 0.9 percent of the area is designated for this, but only 0.5 percent can be used with modern systems. “This means that another 1.5 percent of the federal territory is missing, which means that a giant step has to be taken in the next legislative period”, said Schulze in conversation with tagesschau.de .

SPD parliamentary deputy Miersch also regretted that no agreement had been reached on binding land commitments for wind power. But at least he spoke of one “bridge” in the next legislative period. Green parliamentary group leader Anton Hofreiter criticized that there was only one “a couple of small funding programs” instead of “fundamental reforms”. “Very important and positive” On the other hand, association chief Schulze finds the increase in the tender volume for wind power to four gigawatts agreed for the coming year. However, it is only one “small compensation” the deterioration that has taken place since 2017. In fact, not all tenders were actually implemented between 2017 and 2020. “We would therefore have liked a perspective beyond 2022”, says Schulze. But this task will probably only be taken over by the new government.

Further loosening is necessary

Overall, however, the wind power industry is satisfied with the planned innovations. Material errors and limitations would be corrected. Despite the still too low approval procedures, the quantities were sufficient for 2022 and, due to the catch-up, also in the following years. The next government must, however, continue to promote the expansion of wind energy through further easing, also in the field of species protection, in order to increase the output to 5,000 MW per year, said Association Board Member Schulze.

Nevertheless, the controversial cases in the construction of new wind turbines have steadily increased in recent years. Since 2018, the expansion of wind energy has stagnated at 1,000 to 1,500 MW per year. In addition to the growing resistance from the population, this is also due to the different administrative practices from state to state. The industry also has the impression that new hurdles are always being sought. In the meantime, monument protection has also been included in the approval process for wind turbines. The compromise reached between the Union and the SPD over the past year also caused criticism from the industry Minimum distance from wind turbines to residential buildings . After that, each federal state can now determine which distance is permitted. This can be 1000 meters or less

Super-fast cellular network Europe is lagging behind in terms of 5G expansion

Status: 16.06.2021 11:11 a.m.

The expansion of the new generation of mobile communications is progressing. Half a billion people worldwide could use 5G this year. According to a study, there are mainly networks in Asia and North America ahead. In the race to expand the fifth generation of mobile communications (5G), Western Europe is in danger of being overtaken by North America, Northeast Asia and the Gulf States on the Arabian Peninsula. That is the result of a study by the Swedish network equipment manufacturer Ericsson. According to this, nine percent of all mobile phone contracts in Northeast Asia (including China and South Korea) had already been converted to 5G by the end of 2020. In Western Europe this value was only one percent. Globally, it is expected that 580 million people will already be using 5G networks by the end of 2021. Because of the corona pandemic, some frequency auctions in Europe have been postponed, Ericsson said in his “Mobility Report”. This has a short-term impact on the provision and coverage of 5G in the region.

Early expansion in the Gulf States

Nevertheless, 4G technology will also be pushed back in Western Europe in the coming years, in favor of 5G. While 4G (LTE) is currently the dominant access technology and accounts for 78 percent of all contracts, Ericsson is forecasting a decline to 27 percent by the end of 2026. The 5G penetration will then reach around 69 percent. Older standards such as UMTS (3G) disappear almost completely . This would mean that 5G penetration in Western Europe would be lower than in North America, where it is forecast that by 2026 almost 84 percent of all mobile phone contracts could be based on the 5G standard. A share of 73 percent is expected in the Gulf States. In 2019, these countries were among the first in the world to introduce commercial 5G services. In Northeast Asia, on the other hand, only two thirds (65 percent) of all mobile phone contracts are expected to switch to 5G by 2026. In absolute numbers, Asia is forecast to have the largest number of 5G contracts (1.4 billion). The study expects 340 million 5G contracts for North America. In other regions of the world, including India and Latin America, current 4G technology will remain dominant in 2026. Overall, Ericsson expects the number of 5G cellular connections to grow to 3.5 billion by 2026 – almost 500 million of them in Europe.

More wireless landline connections

5G technology is carried by smartphones, which already make up the majority of mobile data traffic. According to Ericsson, a good half – 53 percent – of mobile data traffic should run over 5G networks by 2026. The Swedish network equipment supplier also predicts that the number of wireless fixed network connections (FWA) will reach almost 180 million by the end of 2026. Up to this point in time, mobile communications will account for around 20 percent of global mobile network data traffic for your own four walls. The wireless fixed network connections via 4G or 5G compete with classic broadband connections such as DSL, cable internet or fiber optic connections. They are especially cheaper to provide on the “last mile” because you do not have to lay cables from the distribution box into the apartments or offices.

Online optician Mister Spex wants to go public

Status: 14.06.2021 11:16 a.m.

The list of companies that want to go public on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange this year is getting longer and longer. Now the online optician Mister Spex is also planning to go out onto the floor to finance its expansion course. The Berlin online optician Mister Spex needs fresh money to finance its expansion plans abroad and wants to go public on the Frankfurt stock exchange by the end of September. The company would like to sell new shares from a capital increase as well as papers from existing shareholders and raise at least 225 million euros. It is Mister Spex’s second attempt to go public. There were already plans in 2018 to finance growth with the help of an IPO. Ultimately, however, the company managed to raise the necessary money through new financing rounds from private investors, so that the IPO was canceled. The shareholders include investors such as Goldman Sachs, DN Capital, Intershop founder Stephan Schambach and StudiVZ founder Ehssan Dariani. Global Growth Capital, a subsidiary of the Internet holding company Rocket Internet, also provided a loan.

Strong increase in sales

Founder and CEO Dirk Graber is quoted as saying: “The IPO is the next logical step for us to strengthen our position as a leading, fundamentally digitally oriented European omnichannel optical brand and to support our long-term growth strategy.” In fact, since its founding at the end of 2007, Mister Spex has succeeded in taking market share from the dominant optician chains in Germany, Fielmann and Apollo, and showing that buying glasses on the Internet can work just as well as in brick-and-mortar stores. Last year, the company increased its sales disproportionately to 164 million euros (plus 18 percent), while Fielmann’s revenues fell by six percent to 1.4 billion euros.

More than 40 own branches

At the European level, revenue in the eyewear market has even fallen by 13 percent. In the first quarter of 2021, Mister Spex is also reporting “sustained momentum” with sales growth of 27 percent compared to the first quarter of 2021. In addition, Mister Spex achieved a positive operating result of seven million euros last year. Despite the strong growth on the Internet, Mister Spex has opened more and more stationary branches in recent years. The company now operates 42 branches of its own in Germany, Austria and Sweden. The managing director Mirko Caspar told the “Handelsblatt” that in the long term half of the sales should be generated in the branches. The figures showed that the combination of online shop, own stores and 400 partner opticians enabled rapid and extensive growth.

Bad cell phone reception Lost in the dead zone

As of: June 8th, 2021 3:59 p.m.

Cell phone reception is still patchy in many rural areas. According to the network agency, more than ten percent of the country’s area is affected. Expansion is often delayed – companies could now face sanctions. The deeper you go into Germany’s rural regions, the worse the cell phone reception. This is the result of a current report by the Federal Network Agency. This is by no means a rare phenomenon. As the report shows, the supply is poor or non-existent on eleven percent of the country’s area. However, complete dead zones are really rare: Cell phone users, regardless of the provider, have no reception at all on just 0.3 percent of the area in Germany – they are “areas that are not provided with any technology”. This proportion is highest in Bavaria and Rhineland-Palatinate with 0.8 percent. In eight of the 16 federal states it is zero.

Annoying “gray spots”

However, 3.8 percent of the country’s area is referred to as so-called “white spots” in the report. In these areas, reception is only possible in the age-old 2G cellular standard. This standard is too slow for modern, complex mobile radio applications such as videos. 7.2 percent of the area are considered “gray spots”. Only one of the three German cellular networks, Telekom, Vodafone or Telefónica Deutschland, can be received there in the 4G standard. Anyone who is a customer of another network is left behind. Gray spots are astonishingly widespread: In Baden-Württemberg the proportion is ten percent, in Hesse and Rhineland-Palatinate it is 9.9 percent. Bavaria is fourth from bottom with 9.2 percent.

Industry points to high costs

In the Internet age, stable cell phone reception across the board is considered crucial for the development of rural areas. The flow of data is also becoming increasingly important for farmers in the fields, forest workers and hikers. The data from the Federal Network Agency show how great the need for expansion is. The telecommunications industry points to the high costs incurred in rural expansion. The network operators are now cooperating with each other to fill the gaps. In addition, there is a new state “mobile radio infrastructure company” that wants to use funding to enable radio locations where economic operation is not worthwhile. In the future, it is also planned to map 5G coverage and the main points of disconnections in voice telephony in a suitable form.

Main traffic routes not fully supplied

The report by the Federal Network Agency also deals with the issue of network supply along the main transport routes. Since the beginning of 2020, there should be 4G reception everywhere on motorways and ICE routes. However, 100 percent coverage has not yet been achieved. In the case of the motorways, the degree of coverage is between 95.4 and 99 percent, depending on the company, and between 94.4 and 98.2 percent for the railways, writes the Federal Network Agency. After all, the supply along the main traffic routes has been improved.

Fines not excluded

The authority refers to a total of around 550 locations where the companies were unable to ensure the required network supply in good time. “The examination has shown that there are cases of actual and / or legal impossibility at around 20 planned locations. The majority of the cases are temporary delays,” it says. The Federal Network Agency is currently examining possible sanctions against the mobile network operators. It is crucial here whether the delays were caused by the mobile network operator – for example due to late planning of the location – or by third parties, for example due to long building permit procedures or late cancellations by landlords. If the network operator is responsible for the delay, there is a risk of fines.

Kage Bushin Unlike Bunshin no Jutsu (Clone Technique), Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone Technique) has a completely different level. With this jutsu, the user creates one or more clones of himself. Although many, the biggest difference here is that the clone image can completely affect other objects, just like a real living organism. When cast, each clone will share an equal amount of chakra, so it can completely bypass the Byakugan (White Eye). Each clone is linked together by very small chakra fibers and their endurance depends on the user. Another good thing is that the clones are almost closely linked to the main body, so the being can use this ability to observe the battlefield situation for themselves, or increase the learning rate many times faster than the main body. with normal. However, the drawback of this jutsu is that it consumes a lot of chakra, so only those with a large amount of chakra and good chakra tuning can master this jutsu. The higher version of the Kage Bushin is the Taju Kage Bunshin (Multiple Shadow Clone), which creates an unlimited number of clones, depending on the amount of chakra spent by the caster. For those possessing Tailed Beast chakra like Naruto, they can create hundreds of different versions at once. However, when cast, each clone will be divided with an equal amount of chakra. So, with too large a number, it will greatly affect the user, so this move is listed as a forbidden technique. Basically, this move was originally a product of Tobirama, but he himself was unable to use its full potential. Although it is easier to learn than most other forbidden techniques, how to use it is almost impossible. Hiraishin Hiraishin (Flying Lightning Divine Art) is one of Tobirama’s creations, and is also the form of jutsu he uses the most. To perform this jutsu, the caster marks a special mark, also known as the ‘sequence’, on a predetermined destination with just a light touch, be it a tree, stone, wall, or body. creatures and even weapons like shuriken, kunai. Unlike normal marks, this will last forever and therefore, the marked enemy will forever become the “destination” of the user. Once marked, they can freely enter the dimensional gap that teleports them to the pre-marked location. This teleportation speed is so fast that the user can surpass even the Raikage’s speed, regardless of whether or not they augment themselves with Lightning Armor. Thanks to Hiraishin, Namikaze Minato was nicknamed the “Golden Flash of Konoha” long before he became a Hokage. Minato primarily applies jutsu to his custom kunai before battle so that when the battle begins, he will launch them across the battlefield, giving the opportunity to teleport to any place at any time. With extremely fast reflexes, Minato can easily slip into enemy lines to destroy each target, then teleport to another location to continue attacking. As a result, it was almost impossible for the enemy to react in time and Minato could sweep an entire squadron in an instant. With this tactic, Minato helped Konoha to win over the Ikon army in the 3rd Shinobi World War even though they were initially outnumbered. Hiraishin can affect anything that has contact with the user (such as touching) or even their chakra. Using this principle, Minato blended his brother’s Nine-Tails of Yin chakra with his son’s Nine-Tails Yang chakra, in order to be able to teleport the Alliance of Shinobi. Tobirama and Minato are the only two shinobi able to perform this technique on their own in history. As for Genma, Raidou, and Iwashi, they have to work together. However, the weakness of this technique is that when teleporting, the amount of chakra required to cast will have to be equal to the number and size of the target. Therefore, when teleporting a giant like the Nine-Tails Kurama out of Konoha, Minato was almost exhausted from running out of chakra. From Hiraishin, Tobirama developed other techniques based on this jutsu, such as Hiraishingiri (Flying Thunder God Slash) and Hiraishin Goshun Mawashi no Jutsu (Fluid Return). With his powerful swordsmanship with superhuman teleportation speed, Hiraishingiri fatally wound Uchiha Izuna – Uchiha Madara’s younger brother. Meanwhile, Hiraishin Goshun Mawashi allowed Tobirama to swap positions at any time with another user of the Flying Thunder God Technique he marked.

Fiona Adams, an Australian farmer, holds a rat that was killed by her dog. Photo: Sydney Morning Herald. As cats give up chasing mice and dogs risk death from ingesting rat bait, farmers across Australia have no choice but to improvise to deal with the raging rat disaster. For Eris Fleming, an artist and rancher on her family farm near Bakers Swamp in New South Wales, Australia, the creative approach was to create mini water traps – 15 – everywhere around my house. Mr. Fleming, 78, has seen the current large population of rats once before, in 1984. Although he initially tried placing rat baits like his neighbors, his German Shepherd “started eating the bait faster than the mice.” His dog started bleeding and needed urgent and expensive care to stay alive at the local veterinary clinic. “Vets are going to make a lot of money in this short time,” he said. Rats that have eaten bait will eventually decompose on the ceiling, in the walls and under the floorboards. “The stench is unbelievable,” he said. And so, buckets of water, narrow curtain rods coated with PVC and a layer of canola oil, and some peanut butter decoys, all designed to trap and kill rodents relentlessly. . Just like that, every morning, Mr. Fleming started by collecting dead mice, at least 300 a day. They will then be buried away from the house. It took him three hours a day to clear the bucket of dead rats, dig, bury the rats and reset the trap. However, he also saves time from having to clean every surface, such as clearing rat droppings off the table, and getting rodents out of bed or even out of the refrigerator. Several of Fleming’s neighbors followed his method, and they all reported massive exterminations of rats. Fleming currently counts only a handful of dead rats each morning, but the significant and welcome drop is probably more related to the fact that the rat population is turning to forage elsewhere, such as near Sydney than. Other techniques used by people in his county include a woman mixing powder with plaster to trick rats, although that still risks the rat decomposing in hard-to-reach nooks and crannies. Elsewhere, many people prefer to use traps made of expandable latex rings – like those used to castrate pets. Rats were killed by traps made of expandable rubber latex rings. Photo: Sydney Morning Herald. Improvisation will probably still be required as the supply of rat bait and rat traps continues to be strained. Rat-killer retailer Bunnings says demand started picking up in December and accelerated even further after April. “We have seen an increase in customer demand for rat control products across New South Wales,” said Belinda Rakers, Bunnings product manager. “Due to high demand, supplies are currently at a low level. However, we are continuing to work closely with our suppliers to get more stock in stores as soon as possible,” she said. In Neurea, near Wellington, Fiona Adams is using rat bait to at least keep the rats under control, but they still rummage through her barn at night. Her dog killed one even as she was talking to guests from the Herald visiting the farm on May 20. “I certainly don’t like them, but unfortunately, you have to get used to them,” she said. “They have cute little faces, but they are stinky little animals. Driving along the road at night, they are like toy cars.” Although the cold weather has begun to slow their growth, that hasn’t stopped them from eating all of the lupine beans Fiona planted on May 19, leaving only empty husks. For Fiona as well as Fleming, the scale of the epidemic was hard to imagine for many in Sydney and elsewhere. Rats can breed after just six weeks and then lay multiple litters within three weeks, triggering a population explosion. Farmers in the area who sold their livestock turned to hay production to take advantage of the bountiful rains, but only saw entire haystacks eaten by rats within a few months. After all, it will be up to science rather than temporary or other methods to control such a massive rat population explosion. “The only way you can prevent this is by doing research,” Mr. Fleming mused.

To get rid of acne hidden under the skin soon and prevent them from recurring, you need to fully apply the following principles, which are simple but extremely effective. You can treat acne hidden under the skin on your own at home. Principles of acne treatment – Remove makeup thoroughly: After applying makeup, it is recommended to use creams and makeup removers to completely remove makeup residue on the face. Avoid overusing makeup too often when your skin is acne-prone. – Clean facial skin: Use cleansers with silicon acid. Silicon acid is an important ingredient in preventing the development of acne. In addition, do not touch your face with your hands to avoid spreading bacteria, making acne worse. – Use warm water to steam: This causes the pores to be dilated, stimulating the acne to emerge and the treatment of acne also becomes easier. – Use some kind of skin mask such as oat mask or lemon-honey mixture. – Proper diet and sleep: Diet, rest and spirit also significantly affect the results of acne hidden under the skin. To get rid of acne early and not to recur, you should avoid using stimulants, limit grease, foods containing too much sugar, drink lots of water, and add green vegetables in your daily meals. In addition, every day you should go to bed early, get enough sleep and always keep your mind comfortable, limit staying up late, stress, sadness. The longer the hidden acne stays, the more difficult it is to treat, so as soon as you detect the skin with hidden acne, you need to take timely measures, apply the above principles, in order to avoid the spread of acne, leaving bad consequences. and effectively remove them quickly.

Illustration. It is no coincidence that masking and removing dead cells go hand in hand. Deep cleansing of the skin by exfoliating step will help remove all dirt, open pores, more open. Thereby helping the skin to receive the best nutrients from the mask. At the same time, after cleansing your skin, gently massage your face in the direction from the inside out, from the bottom to the top for a few minutes. This step both helps the skin to be firmer and “heats” so that the essence can easily penetrate into the skin. Take advantage of the eye mask To save your time, you should combine the eye and face areas at the same time. Note that you must apply the eye mask first and then the face mask. In particular, you can take advantage of the eye mask for the lips or the dragon beard line on the corner of the nose. Because the eye mask usually has a bowl-shaped design, it can fit these two areas tightly, helping to increase the effectiveness of brightening and smoothing the skin. What type of mask helps to supplement intensive nutrients? As mentioned above, sheet masks are inherently rich in essence, so you only need to use 1 to 2 times per week. However, if you sometimes want to change the color of your life, or want to give your skin a bit of a party, then you can use foil masks instead of regular paper masks. The foil layer of the mask will combine with the temperature on the skin to form a barrier to help the skin absorb nutrients and prevent the mask from evaporating and losing water. Since then, the foil mask has a superior moisturizing effect compared to the paper mask. How long should the mask be on? 15 to 20 minutes is just enough time for the skin to absorb the water and nutrients in the mask. If you leave the mask on the skin for longer, the skin cannot absorb any more, and the water in the mask also evaporates, causing the skin to lose water.

Spinach helps you to reduce hair loss. In many cases, especially for women, hair loss can be a sign of a lack of iron, protein, vitamin D, or other vitamins. Preventing this is simple with eating lots of spinach. This vegetable is an excellent source of iron, it is also full of Omega-3 fatty acids, magnesium, potassium and calcium which are natural vitamins that prevent hair loss. Greek Yogurt Have you ever noticed that all the Greek statues have a beautiful flowing hair? It may have been a choice of the sculptor, but it could also have something to do with the protein-rich yogurt the Greeks have been making since 500 BC. Greek yogurt is rich in vitamin B5, a nutrient that improves blood circulation throughout the body, as well as the scalp, which is important for healthy hair. Coriander Studies show that bone growth slows down from the age of 40, especially in women. After that, the bones tend to thin and break. Therefore, middle-aged women need to eat foods rich in the element boron to help the body absorb minerals and protect bones. Coriander contains a lot of Bo, and many other minerals such as calcium, zinc and vitamin A, which help balance blood sugar and prevent cancer. Mustard Mustard is spicy and stimulating. This food not only helps women’s fertility and sexual stimulation, but also stimulates the dilation of blood vessels, promotes blood circulation, makes the skin beautiful and smooth. In addition, mustard prevents tooth decay, has anti-cancer effects, and helps with asthma. Oat Oatmeal produces a lot of melanin, so it helps to maintain natural hair color and fight hair loss. This powder contains many important minerals such as potassium, phosphorus and magnesium and iron.

You can use ice to close your pores. Image source: Internet Hormonal: Hormones make sebum secrete more, so pores tend to be larger. Dead cells: dead cells or stratum corneum are created during the development of skin cells, they will tend to accumulate making the skin thicker, pores also larger. Improper skin care: due to inappropriate cosmetic use or improper makeup removal, pores become clogged, toxins cannot be discharged, and over time, they are oxidized, making pores bigger. Sunlight is the cause of skin aging, making the skin dilated, pores from which also enlarge. In addition, large pores are also due to genetic factors. In addition, age-related aging causes the skin to begin to produce less collagen and elastin, which means a loss of elasticity so pores can dilate and become larger. Use olive oil to tighten pores One of the tips to tighten pores with effective natural ingredients is olive oil. Combine olive oil, lemon juice and honey, and you get an effective pore-tightening mixture with easy-to-find natural ingredients. All you need to do is just mix the above ingredients in an appropriate ratio and then use to exfoliate the skin. You should do this scrub with olive oil twice a week for the best results! Ice Another extremely easy to do pore tightening trick that is equally effective is ice. How to tighten pores with ice effectively: First, wash your face thoroughly. Next, you prepare hot water, lemon juice, ice, and a clean face towel (a soft cotton towel is recommended to avoid skin damage). Next is the preparation stage, you put hot water into a large bowl (pot), then steam your face on the surface of hot water for about 3-5 minutes. Next step, you soak the lemon juice on the towel, then take the towel and pat it evenly on your face. Finally, wash your face with clean water. Note, you do it 2 times a week to see noticeable results!

Skin cancer is an abnormal growth of skin cells, the most common form of cancer today. Everyone can get skin cancer especially when people have to live in increasingly harsh weather, harsh sunlight, polluted environment and lots of radiation … Skin cancer is divided into 3 categories: : Basal cell carcinoma; Squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma. Among them, the two most common types of skin cancer are basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. Early stage skin cancer often appears as a erythematous rash or papules on the skin’s surface that looks like damage to the skin, the surface is often accompanied by scabs or scabs, symptoms are similar to benign diseases. such as psoriasis, dermatitis, eczema … As the disease progresses, there will be more characteristic symptoms such as bright, slightly transparent nodules with small nodules, bleeding surface and dilated hair capillaries. Or the surface is smooth, scarred, plaque, dilated hairline capillaries, ulcers and swelling are not visible. The clinical manifestations of skin cancer are very diverse, it is important that there is a permanent skin lesion, especially if a mole becomes larger and darker, a persistent sore or a patch of pigmentation is not. uniform, abnormal development requires examination at a dermatologist.

Step 2: Bathe over with warm water to help expand pores, and remove all dirt, hate on the skin (you can use shower gel if you want). The skin will whiten faster if you take the trouble to exfoliate twice a week, just mix olive oil with brown sugar or salt to make it a gelatinous consistency. Step 3: You apply the mixture evenly, massage the whole body thoroughly, concentrated in dark, lumpy areas such as knees, elbows, armpits. Step 4: Doing so for about 10 minutes, then you relax for another 5 minutes to help the nutrients penetrate as much as possible.

Note : Apply sunscreen even when it’s shady, to protect the skin from the negative effects of UV rays, and limit the signs of premature aging.

Such questions will never end, even if one day we may know what lies beyond the boundaries of the universe. The universe is just a grain of sand in the galaxy Our universe was born from a big bang. This explosion had to come from a singularity with an indeterminate, and perhaps unlimited, density, after this explosion space and time were created, first of all light radiation, then gradually. form heavier elementary particles, which fuse together into the smallest atoms, molecules, particles of dust and gas, and the end result is galaxies, stars, planets … and our whole life today. According to today’s data, we estimate quite accurately that the big explosion mentioned above happened about 14 billion years ago, 10 billion years later, our Earth was born, and humans have intelligence. Wisdom appeared only about 15,000 – 20,000 years ago (mid and late ice age). For a long time, man has been constantly learning about his origin in the universe. Through the thousands of erroneous years of believing that we are the center of the universe, the cognitive revolutions from the time of the Copernics, the Galilei (16th and 17th centuries) until this moment when we were Going deeper than 10 years into the 21st century, has told us more about where we truly are. We are not only microorganisms on a planet orbiting the Sun, but the Sun itself is not the only star, it is just one of the 200 billion stars of the Milk Way galaxy. While this galaxy is only one of more than 50 members of the Local Group, a cluster of galaxies is in the Virgo supergroup – one out of the thousands, millions, or billions. galaxy in this universe. Yet until this point, the farthest place man has ever set foot is the Moon, one of our satellite. The number of 384,000km from Earth to the Moon sounds large when compared to the daily measure. But let’s try the comparison. With speeds up to approximately 300,000 kilometers per second, light takes just over a second to bring an image from the Earth to the Moon, but it will take more than 50 billion years to reach the edge of the universe. pillar. Perhaps our civilization in the next few hundred years will hardly allow us to go even out of this tiny galaxy. However, even though it is impossible to travel to distant space on their own, people still do not stop observing it. So far we have been able to obtain signals from places billions of light years away (even though it was information about them billions of years ago and maybe not even a few billion at that time. light year). The universe is a multidimensional space (more than 4) and it also has its limit, which is increasing due to constant expansion. Studies in recent years have shown that our universe probably won’t end with a material collapse and collapse, it just keeps expanding, diluting the density until all the time. all interactions are gone. Even so, no matter how much the universe expands, it is still just a balloon that is inflated, it can go on growing and growing, but in the end it must have a limit. What is out of the universe? Up to now, there is not any evidence for the existence of something outside the universe, but a model called multiverse is still concerned by many people because it explains for the the chances of the universes and life are beyond our limits. Essentially, the multiverse is just a proposed model based on the multistory hypothesis and probability in quantum mechanics. It is sometimes called parallel universes with the main content that our universe is not unique but there may be other universes that exist parallel to us. This multiverse theory has 4 forms of division instead of 4 with different differences from our universe. Level 1: There are other universes that are independent of ours. They also have the same physical properties as we have made no difference, except for different probabilities and internal conditions that will produce different results. Maybe there’s a life like us, there’s a civilization just like us, there’s only a slightly different nature. Currently, a rather fuzzy evidence for this is the inconsistency at several points in the resulting background radiation. As we know, this background radiation emitted shortly after the Big Bang and spread across the universe, what we get today is its remnant, so it is the witness for early universe. S This unevenness in this radiation background raises the question of the magnetic universe colliding with other universes as proposed by the multiverse, of course so far these are only questions. Level 2: At this level, we see the multiverse as “bubbles” born in an empty space. These bubbles could be being pushed apart like the galaxies are moving apart in our universe. In this hypothesis there is a difference. The physical and mathematical equations are still no different between the universes, but not only the initial conditions are different, but maybe the physical constants are also different such as the speed of light, the gravitational constant .. The results are due to the different material structures. Level 3: This is the multi-historical / multi-world hypothesis that we often see in fiction movies. There may be worlds that are parallel to us but with other constants lead to different consequences. Like a mechanical cat Doraemon, in fact, when Doraemon returns to the past to help Nobita, it is a world and a different history, while the original history still happens in another parallel world. Level 4: This model, the difference is most pronounced. The parallel universes with us have almost nothing in common with us. Not only the conditions in physical constants but also the laws of physics are completely different. The geometry of universes at this level is completely different, while our universe today has many closed universes, flat universes, universes with complex spacetime structure. , constantly fluctuating … and even open universes but with other laws of physics, completely alien elementary particles, where we have no chance of surviving if we are pushed there. . Currently, people try to look for further signs like radiation irregularities as evidence for the existence of the multiverse (of any level), but with today’s technology any any measurement for this background radiation is not absolutely accurate. Assuming there is evidence of other universes, it would be impossible to observe them.

“Capacity expansion” in the pilot areas, expansion of the “whitelist” population, and trial linkages between pilots… The recent digital renminbi testing activities have attracted attention. At present, the digital renminbi has formed a pattern of “ten places and one scene”. With the implementation of a large number of pilot scenarios, how is the use and promotion of digital renminbi? What changes will it bring to your payment life? 1 The “10+1” pattern has taken shape Digital RMB “Flower” Refurbishment “I was envious of the wave after wave of experience activities in the pilot area before. I didn’t expect that in a blink of an eye I would be able to use digital renminbi to pay at the hospital.” Talking about the experience of using digital renminbi to pay at the window of Shanghai Tongren Hospital, Ms. Cover your excitement. By October 2020, six pilot areas of Shanghai, Hainan, Changsha, Xi’an, Qingdao and Dalian will be added to the digital RMB. In addition to the previous pilot areas such as Shenzhen, Suzhou, Xiong’an New District, Chengdu, and the Beijing Winter Olympics, the digital RMB pilot has formed a “10+1” pattern. With the expansion of the pilot area, the number of people who test digital renminbi has also grown substantially. Shenzhen launched a round of exclusive discounts for digital renminbi consumption from April 10 to 23, and the test population was expanded by another 500,000. In pilot areas such as Beijing and Shanghai, major state-owned commercial banks participating in digital renminbi research and development are actively promoting digital renminbi wallets to customers, and more and more experienced customers have entered the “whitelist” management. At the same time, the digital renminbi “flowering method” is constantly being renovated: from “sending red envelopes” to full consumption reduction, from offline to online, from mobile apps “scanning” to video cards and other hard wallets “touching” …The application scenarios of digital renminbi gradually cover multiple fields such as life payment, catering services, transportation, shopping and consumption, and government services. “So far, the digital renminbi pilot program has been quite successful.” Li Bo, deputy governor of the People’s Bank of China, said at the Boao Forum for Asia 2021 annual meeting that he is considering allowing more cities to conduct pilot programs to cover more usage scenarios and further strengthen Ecosystem construction. Recently, new event news came from the digital renminbi pilot program: in the “Five-five Shopping Festival” series of activities jointly held in Suzhou and Shanghai, digital renminbi red envelopes will realize cross-regional payments. This is the first time in a pilot activity. Prior to this, most of the digital RMB red envelopes were distributed by the local government and used by local merchants. However, the digital renminbi recharged by experiencers can be used in pilot areas across the country. “Like cash, one of the characteristics of digital renminbi is legal repayment.” A relevant person from the central bank introduced that as long as merchants have the conditions for acceptance, digital renminbi wallets opened in any pilot area can be used in other pilot areas. . 2

Smooth and stable payment experience

Fund settlement is more efficient

In order to enjoy the digital renminbi consumption discounts recently launched in Shenzhen, Shenzhen Minpeng specially recharged her digital renminbi wallet and enjoyed a full discount of “200 yuan minus 40 yuan” at Shenzhen Luohu Bookstore. “Currently using the digital RMB App to check out is similar to other mobile payment methods, simple and convenient.” Ms. Peng said.

Yi Zhaoxia, the sales center manager of Shenzhen Luohu Bookstore, told reporters that the digital RMB payment experience is similar to that of existing mobile phones, and users accept it quickly and experience smoothly. “Especially when there is no network or the network is not good, digital renminbi can be used for offline payment, which improves the convenience and stability of transactions.”

Smoothness is not only reflected in the user’s payment experience, but also brings new feelings to merchant settlement. Jiang Yan, director of brand management of the marketing department of China Resources Vanguard (Holdings) Co., Ltd., told reporters, “When consumers use bank cards for consumption, the fastest way to deposit funds is the next day. Digital RMB can be credited to the account in real time, effectively improving the efficiency of capital turnover.”

The reporter learned that third-party payments such as WeChat and Alipay also need to rely on the bank account system to complete settlement and final confirmation through the central bank’s payment infrastructure, so it takes a long time for funds to arrive in the account. The so-called “real-time payment” of payment institutions is often achieved through “funding”, which contains hidden risks such as misappropriation of funds and credit default.

Experts said that digital renminbi does not rely on bank accounts for fund transfers, and does not require final confirmation of settlement through the payment system, reducing the credit risk and liquidity risk of clearing and settlement. For operating institutions, the reconciliation process is greatly simplified; for merchants, payment is settlement, which greatly improves the efficiency of fund settlement.

No change to the existing payment pattern

Promote cooperation internally and externally

At the beginning of the pilot, there was a view that digital renminbi wallets will replace e-wallets such as Alipay and WeChat Pay. However, with the steady progress of the pilot program, people have found that multiple payment methods can coexist, and the digital renminbi has not changed the competitive landscape of the existing payment service market.

Judging from the previous pilot activities, many users can choose to use third-party payment methods to pay for the part that exceeds the amount of the digital RMB red envelope. In the upcoming second “Five-five Shopping Festival” in Shanghai, pilot users in Shanghai may be able to use digital renminbi through Alipay for offline and online consumption.

According to experts, digital renminbi only converts the currency of users’ electronic wallets from commercial bank deposit currency to central bank digital currency, while electronic wallets such as Alipay and WeChat Pay will continue to play their original role as wallet carriers.

While actively promoting internal cooperation, the People’s Bank of China is also actively exploring a feasible path for the central bank’s digital currency to improve the cross-border payment system.

Recently, the Digital Currency Research Institute of the People’s Bank of China, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, the Central Bank of Thailand, and the Central Bank of the United Arab Emirates jointly launched a multilateral central bank digital currency bridge research project to explore the application of central bank digital currency in cross-border payments.

Li Bo said that the current development focus of the digital renminbi is to promote domestic use. The internationalization of the renminbi is a natural process, and it is necessary to work with international partners to find cross-border payment solutions.

22 years after having to play in third place, Man City is now present in the semifinals of the Champions League. (Image: Getty Images)

Looking at the presence of English clubs in the two European arenas, the balance of power has changed. Money is key, but not all.

The British flag is flying high again in Europe and the two English finals like the 2018/19 season are completely repeatable, with Chelsea – Man City in the Champions League and MU – Arsenal in the Europa League. Before you dream of that scenario, though, pause for a moment and think about the amazing change in English football.

About two decades ago, even those with the richest imagination could not imagine a day when Chelsea and Man City walked on their journey to conquer Europe’s peak, while MU and Arsenal sought a salvation. for the season in the 2nd tier arena.

At the turn of the 21st century, MU and Arsenal are the two dominant forces in the Premier League. They rarely bother with the rest and spend time searching for European glory. Chelsea and Man City do not have that comfort. The two grappled with their own problems, mostly with regard to money.

Before Roman Abramovich took over the Blues, this team owed £ 80 million and faced bankruptcy. The Citizens is also deeply in debt after trying to get out of the 3rd league and back to the Premier League, playing a derby with MU instead of Macclesfield Town in a stadium with only 6,000 spectators.

When the problem is money, it’s easy to solve if there are bosses like Abramovich or Sheikh Mansour, who suddenly one day discover their love for football and step into Chelsea, Man City, then make a transformation. spectacular. Two teams that are inferior to their history suddenly become giants, overthrow old forces and write their own history.

Arsenal Vice President David Dein once described how Chelsea functioned as follows: “Abramovich parked his Russian tank on our doorstep and shot out £ 50 bills.” Dick Law, Dein’s assistant, corrected: “I think it looks more like a 1,000 bill.”

There’s a pretty big jealousy here. The Russian billionaire once learned about the possibility of buying Arsenal but ignored it and Dein was extremely angry when he knew it. As for Sir Alex Ferguson, he accused Chelsea of ​​”ruining football” and scolded Man City, “a noisy neighbor” that was “spending money in a suicide fashion”.

In a less extreme way, former Newcastle President Sir John Hall said that in football, people don’t have to pay, only so far, bosses spend more money. “We, Aston Villa, Everton and Liverpool, Arsenal or MU all burn a lot of money, but the tycoons have taken everything to new heights. The bottomless pocket allows them to do anything, ”commented Hall.

But Hall added, billionaires from all over the world “have changed the game and the way football is run”, not just about money. As seen, in the period of 2013 up to now, MU’s actual expenditure is 780 million pounds, not much less than Man City (854 million) and double Chelsea (380 million), triple Liverpool (231 million). What about Arsenal, with 445 million spent, they are the third most expensive team in the Premier League, just less than two Manchester teams.

Money is very important in football, but it must be efficient to drive big ambitions. MU and Arsenal are slow to adapt and then fall behind. Efforts to spend money to level the gap can help them catch up with Chelsea and Man City, but not now.

“We have reached the semi-finals of the Europa League and this is like a true big game in Europe, because Roma is a rival with a long history,” MU coach, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said after overcoming Granada. April 16 morning.

“It is wonderful to be one of the four strongest teams in Europe. This is not an achievement, because Man City has entered the semi-finals of the Champions League once. We are creating another history, ”Man City coach Pep Guardiola said on Thursday.

A team trying to write history in Europe’s most famous league, a team trying to exaggerate the stature of the second-tier arena sounds ironic. However, this is how football plays out.
