Wirecard scandal What’s left of the U committee

As of: 06/22/2021 9:16 a.m.

A year ago, the financial services provider Wirecard went bankrupt. A U-Committee of the Bundestag tried to find out why controllers and supervision failed. The committee has now completed its work.

From Tobias Betz, ARD capital studio

Head of authorities fired, insider trading uncovered: A reform should turn Germany’s financial supervision inside out. The committee of inquiry into the Wirecard scandal has initiated a lot. More than 100 witnesses were questioned and thousands of documents turned over.

Florian Toncar did this for the FDP: The investigative committee had come to a clear conclusion. “We made it very clear that the Wirecard case was not a natural disaster that no one could have foreseen or averted,” he says. There were hints and people who warned early on. The disturbing thing about the Wirecard case is that all of this could have happened with the eyes of sight and under the inspectors’ radar.

BaFin seal of approval?

The central accusation of the opposition: The Federal Financial Services Agency (BaFin) did not investigate early indications of possible irregularities at Wirecard. Instead, according to experts, the authority made fatal misjudgments.

BaFin was convinced that Wirecard was being blackmailed. That is why the authorities imposed a ban on the short sale of Wirecard shares in February 2019. BaFin had never before issued such a speculation ban with a single share. Many market participants understood this signal as a kind of seal of approval: You can trust Wirecard, the company is clean!

Many small investors then got on board. When the rumors that had been circulating for years about inflated balance sheets at Wirecard turned out to be true in June 2020, the share price plummeted. Wirecard was broke. Many small investors lost everything.

The minister and the chancellor had to testify

Since then, the public prosecutor has been investigating, among other things, gang fraud. Former board members were arrested and one of them, Jan Marsalek, is still on the run to this day. Because the control authorities are subordinate to ministries, the opposition’s criticism was directed at the government, says Lisa Paus, who sits on the committee of inquiry for the Greens. “Wirecard was also an auditor scandal. The supervision was under the economics minister Peter Altmaier,” says Paus. Above all, Wirecard is a broad supervisory scandal overall. “The financial supervision was under the SPD finance minister Olaf Scholz.”

Ministers Scholz and Altmaier had to testify in the committee of inquiry. Chancellor Angela Merkel was also questioned for hours. None of them admitted mistakes. On the other hand, the work of the investigative committee certainly increased the pressure on the Federal Finance Minister to completely reform the financial supervisory authority BaFin, which is subordinate to him, including a change at the top of BaFin.

Bankers lost their reputations

Financial expert Fabio De Masi from the Left Party is certain that the results of the committee of inquiry are not only politically interesting: “The auditors’ mistakes will play a role in class actions by small investors,” he says. Never before have so many heads rolled at the head of authorities in such a short time.

Authority managers, bankers, analysts, fund managers and BaFin employees – they lost their jobs, their bonuses, their reputation. These are the first concrete effects of the committee of inquiry into the Wirecard scandal. The witness chair on the investigative committee was therefore soon more feared by some than the dock in a criminal court

BioNTech Annual General Meeting Successful with mRNA technology

Status: 22.06.2021 10:25 a.m.

At today’s Annual General Meeting, the BioNTech top management can boast great successes. This is not only due to the corona vaccine, in which the company has left many competitors behind.

From Bianca von der Au, ARD stock exchange studio

What happened to the Tübingen-based vaccine manufacturer CureVac is actually the norm in the biotech industry: one drug candidate disappoints. Research is tedious and devours billions. The rapid success of the competitor BioNTech was more than a stroke of luck, believes asset manager Hendrik Leber from the private corporation Acatis. The Mainz biotech company did a lot of things right, he says. “BioNTech made the decision very quickly to develop a vaccine at all. And the choice of partner to work with Pfizer was an extremely good decision.” The US pharmaceutical company opened the door to the American market and at the same time pushed ahead with marketing and clinical studies at a rapid pace.

Does CureVac’s chance lie in the mutants?

The Tübingen competitor CureVac is not only lagging in terms of time, but also in terms of time Effectiveness of his vaccine after. Experts are divided as to whether this deficit can be made up at all. Pharmaceutical specialist Alexander Nuyken from the consulting company EY gives the race is not lost for CureVac – in view of the constant number of new mutations and a low vaccination rate among the world’s population.

mRNA vaccine with great potential

However, the EY expert sees enormous potential in biotechnology, especially in the field, beyond the corona vaccine novel mRNA technology , which CureVac is also researching. “It was originally not developed with Covid in mind, but for completely different therapies, such as cancer”recalls Nuyken. There is the potential to address other diseases with this technology, namely, according to the expert, “cheaper, faster and more efficient.”

There is great hope – not only among investors – that mRNA technology can develop effective agents against previously incurable diseases – not only against cancer, but also against Alzheimer’s, for example. BioNTech has been researching a vaccine against cancer for a long time and, a few days ago, treated a skin cancer patient with an mRNA vaccine for the first time in a phase II study.

Would you like more willingness to take risks?

The path to the surprising success with the corona vaccine was only possible for BioNTech thanks to patient donors in the background. EY pharma expert Nuyken believes that there is a need for greater willingness to take risks in Germany. “How do we get the good science that we undoubtedly have in Germany in companies? And how can we then further develop these companies until they are ready for the market?”the expert asks.

He sees this as the biggest hurdle in the German environment. “In contrast to the American market, we have significantly less capital that is available for the development of these companies.” So it’s no wonder that CureVac and BioNTech have been listed on the Nasdaq technology exchange in the USA in the past two years. But also in Germany, Corona and the search for a vaccine have put the biotech industry in the (spotlight) light. According to EY, the German biotechnology company is in the Corona year 2020 so much capital flowed in as never before . In CureVac, the federal government even invested 300 million euros – a risky investment

On the evening of June 20, Gree Electric released the “Phase 1 Employee Stock Ownership Plan (Draft)”. This announcement shows that the total number of employees participating in Gree’s employee stock ownership plan does not exceed 12,000, involving company executives, middle-level cadres and employees in key positions. It is the largest employee stock ownership plan in Gree’s history. According to Gree’s plan , There will be several rounds of shareholding plans in the future.

The source of the shares held by the plan is the shares that have been repurchased in the special repurchase account of Gree, and the size of the shares does not exceed 108,365,800 shares. Moreover, employees participating in the shareholding plan will subscribe for shares at a price of 27.68 yuan per share. If calculated according to Gree Electric’s closing price of 53.68 yuan per share on June 18, the employee’s share price is about 51.56% of the current closing price.

This means that Gree employees participating in this shareholding plan can buy shares at half price. However, with the introduction of this plan, some people have also questioned this. In addition to the ups and downs of Gree during this period, Miss Dong is in What are the calculations?

Gree Electric, keen to give employees “benefits”

A few days ago, Dong Mingzhu announced that the first batch of 3,700 houses in the “Gree Pearl Plaza” in Zhuhai will soon be delivered. For a time, Gree was in the limelight. The news that “Gree wants to divide the house” was reported by major media, and many people believed that Dong Mingzhu did what he said.

In fact, as early as 2018, Dong Mingzhu publicly stated: “Gree will provide 80,000 employees with two bedrooms and one living room. As long as employees work until they retire, they don’t have to worry about housing prices.” At that time, the Zhuhai municipal government encouraged Gree Electric Appliances. , Promised to provide 10,000 sets of housing land.

In February of this year, Dong Mingzhu said in an interview with the media that Gree will be able to put out 3,700 houses immediately, with one set of scientific research personnel. As long as they can work in Gree until they retire, the house belongs to him. However, Dong Mingzhu also talked about Gree’s house allocation in an interview with the media on June 16th: “I originally wanted to retire and this house will belong to you, but many of our young people said that it has been too long. I can’t give the house now or sell it at half the market price. I finally decided to sell it to them at cost.”

Picture from Gree’s official website

Although there are many restrictions, it is normal. After all, there will be no free pies in the sky. Compared with the division of houses, Gree’s employee shareholding plan this time has received a lot of doubts once it was announced. Among them, the most concerned is Dong Mingzhu’s shareholding ratio.

According to the plan in the plan, Gree Electric’s chairman Dong Mingzhu plans to subscribe for 30 million shares, accounting for 27.68% of the shareholding plan, and plans to invest 830 million yuan. Six executives including Zhang Wei and Zhuang Pei will subscribe for 600,000 shares. The employee supervisor Wang Fawen subscribed for 80,000 shares. As for the remaining 74,685,800 shares, 1,1992 middle-level cadres and core employees plan to invest 2.067 billion yuan to subscribe.

To put it simply, Dong Mingzhu invested 830 million yuan and subscribed for 27% of the shares of this shareholding plan. From the stock price point of view, Dong Mingzhu made a “small profit” of 800 million, and most of the remaining shares were among middle-level cadres. The backbone of the enterprise subscribes. In other words, this employee stock ownership plan and the previous employee housing may be Gree Electric’s intention to “stabilize the military” and want to deeply bundle the company’s core talents by “distributing benefits” to employees. After all, Miss Dong once said: “ Talent is Gree’s greatest wealth.”

Gree’s disintegrating “iron triangle”

From a market perspective, the subscription price of Gree’s employee stock ownership plan is very low. The employee subscription price is only half of the market price, which is obviously unacceptable for investors who buy stocks from the secondary market. . After the announcement, Gree Electric’s share price fell 4.79% at the close of trading on June 21. At the risk of being attacked by the market, Gree Electric will also implement this plan, naturally because of the problem of brain drain. Perhaps the most famous of these is the disintegration of Gree’s “Iron Triangle”. On the evening of February 21, Gree Electric issued an announcement stating that it had received a written resignation report from Director and CEO Huang Hui and resigned from Gree Electric’s director and CEO positions. After Huang Hui resigned, he no longer held any position in Gree. In the three and a half years as the CEO, Huang Hui has been Gree’s second-in-command. Together with Chairman Dong Mingzhu and Chief Financial Officer Wang Jingdong, he was known as the “iron triangle” of Gree Electric. Before Huang Hui, Gree Electric’s director, vice president and secretary of the board Wang Jingdong also resigned from all positions in Gree in August last year due to personal reasons. Regarding the resignation of the two, some people in the industry believe: “The two of them have been in Gree for so many years and have been very loyal to Gree, but now they have left. This means that both Wang and Huang are in agreement with Dong Dong’s current development ideas for Gree. Mingzhu has a disagreement.” Moreover, Huang Hui joined Gree Electric in 1992 and is a senior executive of Gree Electric. The outside world once believed that Huang Hui was expected to succeed Dong Mingzhu as the next head of Gree Electric. In addition to the departure of the two core executives, according to media reports, Gree Electric’s personnel flow is also very large. Gree Electric, where the executives left, is in an eventful period. In the past 2020, due to the impact of the new crown epidemic, the financial report of Gree, which mainly attacked offline channels, was not very good, and it was precisely because of the impact of the epidemic on offline channels that Gree’s “air-conditioning king” throne was once taken away by Midea. The financial report shows that Gree Electric’s 2020 revenue fell by 14.97% to 170.497 billion yuan, achieving a net profit of 22.175 billion yuan attributable to the parent, a year-on-year decrease of 10.21%. From the perspective of revenue, Gree’s 2020 results are obviously not good. Although Gree has been carrying out transformation and reforms in recent years, many people’s first impression of Gree is still “selling air conditioners.” In a sense, it is true. Gree’s transformation and reform did not help Gree cultivate a high-quality business like air conditioners. According to Gree’s 2020 mid-year report, Gree accounted for the bulk of the air-conditioning business, accounting for nearly 60% of its revenue, and household appliances and smart equipment accounting for 3% and 0.3%, respectively. In the same period, Midea’s air-conditioning revenue accounted for 46%, and consumer appliances accounted for 38%.

Is it good to rely on stocks to win people’s hearts?

The dilemma of Gree Electric Appliances made Dong Mingzhu begin to seek change, and began to reform the sales channels that have not been lost. From the previous offline model, to the new Gree retail model of “simultaneous online and offline sales and integrated service”. Even if the provincial agency dealers are unwilling, the channel transformation has become an irresistible trend. Dong Mingzhu even went into battle himself and held more than a dozen live broadcasts to bring the goods. However, the low revenue performance in 2020 has also made the requirements of this equity incentive plan aroused by investors. Many investors believe that the incentive conditions this time are too simple, almost equivalent to nothing. Gree has requirements for company-level and personal-level performance in this employee stock ownership plan. As for employees, the individual performance appraisal results are required to reach level B or above in order to get all the shares. The level C can only get 80%, and the shares below the C level cannot get the shares. Gree will also return the corresponding original funds. At the company level, if the company’s performance evaluation fails to meet the standards after the expiration of the second evaluation vesting period, the management committee will make a decision to dispose of it, including canceling or selling stocks at an opportunity. The amount will be limited to the amount of disposal, and the corresponding holders will be refunded. The original capital contribution and the remaining income (if any) are returned to the company. Picture from Canva, ready made It should be noted that Gree’s assessment indicators for this plan are based on 2020 performance as a reference, but according to the financial report, Gree’s revenue in the first quarter of this year was 33.189 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 62.73%. Net profit was 3.443 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 120.98%. If this level can be maintained, the implementation of Gree’s shareholding plan will obviously not be particularly difficult compared to the results of 2020. However, similar to employee housing, Gree employees’ stocks can only be sold after retirement, and they can only enjoy dividends before retirement. For employees, this regulation largely restricts the behavior of employees selling stocks. For investors in the secondary market, it is obviously unacceptable for investors in the secondary market to spend real money to buy stocks in full, and now others only need to spend half of it to buy, and there is almost no risk. The selling restrictions may also be to cater for the emotions of investors. For Gree Electric, this approach of pulling in the backbone of the company may be compelling, but for Gree employees, this subscription is too far away from the perspective of time when the ban is lifted after retirement

Tourism crisis Later restart the River cruises

Status: 19.06.2021 3:29 p.m.

River cruise ships are back in Bavaria – because of the infection protection with fewer guests on board. The long absence of the ships has left deep marks along the routes.

By Sebastian Grosser and Martin Gruber, BR

A melody sounds on deck of the river ship “NickoSpirit” before cruise director Ferdinand Selig starts his speech. “Welcome to Regensburg, dear passengers.” In front of Selig is a piece of paper with several names, which are in turn marked with different colors. “Please remember your grouping and don’t forget your mask when you leave the ship,” he says. At this point, several passengers have already gathered at the entrance of the ship to go ashore for a tour of the city. A maximum of 14 people are allowed in a group. This is part of infection protection.

Million revenues before Corona

The “NickoSpirit” is the first river cruise ship to be moored in Regensburg this year. Usually the season starts in spring. But Corona put the once booming tourism industry on the back burner in 2021. The Regensburger Stadtwerk, which manages the pier, is expecting around 100 landings this year. Similar to 2020, in the first Corona year, the city is expected to turn over only 100,000 euros with the ships. For comparison: in 2019, more than 1000 ships moored in Regensburg, with which the city was able to bring in a turnover of 1.3 million euros.

Hard times for tour guides

Michaela Ederer is already waiting for the guests at the Donaulände, where the “NickoSpirit” moored. The tour guide has longingly awaited the first ship and its passengers. “The last few months have been really tough,” she says. “The majority of the tour guides work as freelancers and rely on the tour guides and the sales they generate with them.”

In the peak of the pandemic, around 7500 tour guides nationwide were unemployed, says Ederer, who is also on the board of the Federal Association of Tour Guides in Germany. Many of her colleagues should have tapped their retirement reserves. “We are therefore very happy,” she says, referring to the arrival of the first passengers.

Passengers: No problem with infection protection

While the guests with audio guides in their ears follow the tour operator’s blue tablet to explore the historic old town of Regensburg, cruise director Selig talks to the passengers who have stayed on the ship. Unless they are sitting in the restaurant or on the summer deck, they all wear mouth and nose protection. Many of the mostly older passengers do not mind the infection control measures. “The guests are used to it,” says Selig. For the provider of cruise travel, however, creating a suitable hygiene concept was a bit of a challenge: In order to maintain the distance, only 143 of the otherwise 170 passengers are currently allowed on board. There is even a certified test center on the “NickoSpirit” so that everyone on the ship can be tested every 48 hours.

End of the cruise boom

While the provider Nicko had previously relied mainly on a German-speaking audience, other shipping companies, such as the largest industry association IG Rivercruise, have a harder time BR demand notifies. In particular, sales of shipping companies that specialize exclusively in guests from overseas such as the USA or Australia fell by 100 percent last year. But also those ships that were able to sail between July and October 2020 recorded losses of between 60 and 70 percent.

“The Queen would declare the year 2020 to be an ‘annus horribilis’. The IG Rivercruise joins this,” said the Industry association. The forecast for 2021 is no better. “The season is short,” said IG Rivercruise. Individual providers have therefore filed for bankruptcy, but had already got into financial difficulties before the pandemic.

Souvenir shops before the end

The lack of cruise business also brought Gabriele Winklmeier into existential difficulties. The 58-year-old has a souvenir shop in the old town of Passau. The ship tourists from the USA and France would actually be their main business. Due to the pandemic, hardly anything happened last year, according to Winklmeier. “This year, too, things have been bad so far: no buses, no ships, no customers. Now the first cruise ships are arriving, but they all dock outside.” She will probably give up her souvenir shop – after 17 years.

Winklmeier looks back with sadness: “Three years ago all hell was going on here. 300 guests as early as eight in the morning. You could still do business there. Today it can happen to me that I don’t have a turnover of 30 euros.” The guests of “NickoSpirit” will probably no longer buy souvenirs in Winklmeier’s shop. The cruise on the river ends in Passau. Several buses are waiting along the landing stage where the suitcases are already lined up. Cruise manager Selig, who has to say goodbye to his guests after nine days, draws a positive balance: “It was a relaxed trip, even if it seems unrelaxed. We were well prepared with the tests on board. Many guests were vaccinated or recovered. That is natural also a great relief for us. “

The sound becomes sharper Fed sees two rate hikes in 2023

Status: 16.06.2021 8:59 p.m.

As expected, the US Federal Reserve left its key interest rate unchanged. However, the loose monetary policy will not go on forever. The stock markets are falling, and the euro is also falling. Despite the waning corona pandemic and rising inflation rates, the US Federal Reserve continues to keep its key interest rate in a range between 0.00 and 0.25 percent. The monthly bond purchases of $ 120 billion are also expected to continue for the time being. At least until progress is made towards achieving the bank’s goals. In particular, this means “considerable progress in terms of price stability and employment”. This was stated by the monetary authorities after their two-day routine interest rate meeting in Washington. According to Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, the Fed is still a long way from achieving its goal: “But we are making good progress.” The bank continues to blame temporary factors for the recently stronger rise in inflation data. At the same time, she expects inflation to rise to 3.4 percent this year and drop to 2.2 percent in 2022. There is also increased economic activity and employment. Powell said the discussion about scaling back the extremely loose monetary policy had begun. The point is when it will reduce its regular bond purchases. However, Powell was not specific. Basically, the Fed chief said that if you will, you have talked about wanting to talk about the subject. With such cautious wording Powell should try to avoid panic-like reactions in the financial markets.

Two rate hikes envisaged in 2023

For the first time since the outbreak of the pandemic, however, the monetary authorities signaled that there could be two interest rate hikes of half a percentage point each in 2023. So far, the Fed’s interest rate projection provided for an unchanged monetary policy with a key interest rate close to zero. After all, seven monetary authorities are now even of the opinion that a tightening could come next year. Not only has the interest rate forecast been raised, expectations for economic growth and inflation are also higher in some cases. For this year, the Fed is expecting macroeconomic growth of 7.0 percent instead of the 6.5 percent previously expected.

Share prices are falling

Wall Street reacts with price losses, all leading stock indices give way in an initial reaction. The leading index Dow Jones lost around one percent, the other indices are slightly below. Prices are also falling on the bond market, with the yield on ten-year US government bonds increasing to 1.56 percent. The euro is losing significantly against the dollar and is currently trading at 1.2026 dollars, around one cent less than in today’s trading

For a city, we can say that there are many ways to understand it. There are also some cities that we hardly need to understand. As long as we hear its name, we know it, such as Jingdezhen. Regarding Jingdezhen, I believe that there is no need for too many voices to repeat it. As a well-known “Porcelain Capital” at home and abroad, the thousand-year-old porcelain culture burned in ancient kilns here has long been ingrained in the hearts of the world. Because of this, we want to understand the porcelain culture of China for thousands of years, and we will also choose to go to Jingdezhen as soon as possible. In Jingdezhen City, we are most familiar with Jingdezhen Ceramic History Museum, Imperial Kiln Museum, Jingdezhen Museum and Ancient Kiln Folklore. Expo area and so on. In fact, for tourists, every time they travel, they will not be able to check in some scenic spots for some reasons, especially the length of the holiday and traffic problems. It is precisely because of this problem that some scenic spots that were originally worth checking in are helplessly forgotten. The same is true for a place in Jingdezhen. It was originally an inconspicuous small village. It was forgotten by many people because of the remoteness and the inconvenience of transportation. Even so, it has not been forgotten in history. During the Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, many ancient kiln sites were left in its territory, and among its green mountains and rivers, it became a center of ancient porcelain making. It is the site of an ancient porcelain kiln in Raonan near Raonan Village, Yaoli Town, 55 kilometers northeast of Jingdezhen City. Among the many ancient villages in Jingdezhen, why was the porcelain made in Raonan Village in ancient times? First of all, let’s get to know Raonan Village. It is located between Bajiao Mountain and the valley close to Qishan Mountain. The ancient trees on the mountain are lush, the green bamboos are swaying, and the forests are hidden. The crystal clear Yao River passes through the village, and the ancient village is named after it. Because it is adjacent to southern Anhui, the Huizhou residences in its territory are built on the water and are scattered. It is precisely because of its unique geographical location and natural conditions that its territory contains abundant china clay resources, sufficient water resources and sufficient fuel resources. However, these are the three indispensable conditions for the ancients to make porcelain. , Raonan Village also just met the three conditions. Raonan Village’s ceramic production conditions are unique, and its territory is rich in kaolin, which provides abundant and high-quality raw materials for the production of the “dual formula” tire-making method in Jingdezhen’s porcelain industry. An important place for making porcelain in ancient times, it is also known as the “source of porcelain”. According to historical records, Yaoli first began to make porcelain in the late Southern Song Dynasty. After experiencing the Yuan and Ming dynasties, the Ming Dynasty began to decline in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, spanning more than 300 years, and the prosperous scene of that year also left a rich cultural heritage for future generations. As the earliest ancient village to make porcelain in Yaoli, the ancient kiln site in Raonan Village has also become an important window for us to understand the porcelain culture of Jingdezhen. Today, we come to the ancient porcelain kiln site in Raonan Village. Not only many ancient kiln sites from the Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties are preserved here, but there are also a large number of porcelain relics such as water stubble and ancient ceramic workshops, and they have been successfully selected in my country. Natural and cultural heritage. After entering the scenic spot, walk along the clear East River, and you can hear the sound of “bang, bang, bang…” far away. The closer you get, the louder the sound. When you get closer, you find that it is the sound of water pounding the glaze fruit. . This is also the most primitive process in the ancient craftsmen’s porcelain making process, which is to use the power of nature to produce glaze fruits with water. The quality of kaolin will be higher in this way, and the porcelain will also provide rich and high-quality porcelain. Raw materials. Continue to go forward and walk across a wooden boardwalk to the opposite bank of the Donghe River. Here is the area where the Long Kiln Ruins are distributed. The No. 1 Long Kiln site is a sloped dragon kiln in the Southern Song Dynasty. It was built on a mountain with a total length of 19.2 meters. It is divided into three parts: a fire chamber, a kiln bed and a smoke port. There is a round pavilion less than 50 meters ahead. Surrounded by tea trees, this is the site of No. 2 Long Kiln. According to records, its kiln started in the late Southern Song Dynasty and ended in the middle of the Ming Dynasty. It is one of the oldest porcelain kilns found in Yaoli. A further 30 meters away is the last ancient kiln site here, which is the No. 3 Long kiln site built on the hillside terrain. Its total length is 48.2 meters, the slope is 19.5 degrees, and the kiln bed is 41.7 meters long. With a width of 2 meters, it is the oldest, most intact and longest dragon kiln discovered so far. Although Raonan Village, hidden among the green mountains and green waters, seems to be an inconspicuous small village, the quality of the glazed fruit produced here is excellent, and it is known as “kaolin, Yaoli glaze” and is called “porcelain”. Therefore, the ancient craftsmen in Raonan Village have made porcelain here since ancient times. Many ancient kiln sites have also been left in its territory, which has become an indispensable window for us to understand the thousand-year-old porcelain culture.

On the evening of June 14, Xiabuxiabu issued an announcement stating that its board of directors had held an extraordinary general meeting to remove Zhao Yi as an executive director.

In terms of the reasons for the recall, the Xiabuxiabu Board of Directors believes that Zhao Yi’s management methods and concepts are significantly different from those of other members of the board of directors, and that allowing Zhao Yi to continue to participate in the management of the company will not be in the overall best interests of the company and its shareholders. The board of directors believes that if the recall takes effect, it will not have a material adverse effect on the group’s operations.

It is worth mentioning that on May 20 this year, Zhao Yigang was dismissed from the post of chief executive officer of Xiabuxiabu.

Within two months, there have been three personnel changes in the senior management of Xiabuxiabu.

In terms of stock price, as of the close of trading on June 15, Xiabuxiabu’s share price has fallen 68.5% from the high in February this year to 8.5 Hong Kong dollars per share. The market value has evaporated by more than 20 billion Hong Kong dollars (about 16.5 billion yuan) in four months.

Three high-level personnel changes during the year, the stock price fell by nearly 70%

On May 20 this year, Xiabuxiabu issued an announcement stating that Zhao Yi was dismissed from the post of Xiabuxiabu’s chief executive officer because the performance of some of the group’s sub-brands failed to meet the expectations of the board of directors.

On May 21, He Guangqi, the founder and chairman of the board of directors of Xiabuxiabu, told the media including Sohu Finance that the appropriate flow of company personnel is a good thing for the group, because Xiabuxiabu’s previous performance in East China and South China was not good. It’s too ideal, so I consider taking over the surgeon’s adjustment and promotion personally.

According to Wind data, Zhao Yi joined Xiabuxiabu on November 12, 2012, and is mainly responsible for group auditing, accounting, financial management and IT-related affairs. From November 2012 to August 2019, Zhao Yi was the chief financial officer of Xiabuxiabu; from August 2019 to May 2021, Zhao Yi was the executive director and chief executive officer of Xiabuxiabu.

Before joining Xiabuxiabu, Zhao Yi served as the Commercial Manager of Unilever Services Co., Ltd., the Director of Retail Operations of Sony Ericsson, and the Chief Financial Officer of McDonald’s North.

As early as October 2019, Xiabuxiabu launched a young sub-brand “in xiabuxiabu”. Zhao Yi once publicly stated that the brand was launched by him personally, optimistic about the high-end development of small hot pot, and hoped to make the “one person, one pot” small hot pot to the extreme.

It is reported that the unit price of “in xiabuxiabu” is around 110 yuan, which is between Xiabuxiabu and Coucuo. So far, the brand has only opened two stores in Shanghai and Beijing.

As of last night’s announcement, Zhao Yi has been removed from the position of executive director of Xiabuxiabu, and currently has no current position in Xiabuxiabu.

It is worth noting that this is also the third change in Xiabuxiabu’s senior personnel in the past two months.

In April of this year, Zhang Zhenwei, the COO of the Coucou brand under Xiabuxiabu, confirmed to Sohu Finance that he would no longer serve as the COO of Coucou Catering from April 15th, and at the same time step down from all other positions related to Xiabu Xiabu Group and Coucou Catering.

Zhang Zhenwei revealed that he left Coucou for his current new catering business project.

Goldman Sachs previously issued a report stating that Zhang Zhenwei, CEO of Coucou, under Xiabuxiabu, has strong execution and investors need to pay attention to the risks associated with the departure of Coucou’s CEO. On the day Zhang Zhenwei announced his resignation, Xiabuxiabu’s share price fell nearly 15%.

The executives have left their posts successively, and the current major operations of the various brands of Xiabuxiabu are under the unified responsibility of the chairman He Guangqi.

It is reported that He Guangqi is the founder of Xiabuxiabu and serves as the chairman of the board of directors, chief executive officer and executive director of Xiabuxiabu. He is mainly responsible for formulating the group’s overall development strategy and business plan. He has more than 20 years of experience in the catering industry. Up to now, He Guangqi holds 41.46% of the shares of Xiabuxiabu.

One-fifth of the goal of opening stores in 2021 will be completed in half a year, and the number of new stores will be lowered

As of the close on June 15, the share price of Xiabuxiabu was reported at 8.5 Hong Kong dollars per share, a drop of nearly 70% from the February high. The market value had evaporated by more than 20 billion Hong Kong dollars (about 16.5 billion yuan) in four months.

Except for frequent high-level turmoil, Xiabuxiabu’s financial data has been bleak in recent years, and there has been no significant improvement in the later stages of the epidemic.

The financial report shows that Xiabuxiabu will achieve revenue of 5.455 billion yuan in 2020, a year-on-year decrease of 9.5%; net profit attributable to shareholders is 1.837 million yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 99.4%; net loss after non-deduction is 180 million yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 176.36%.

Sohu Finance found that Xiabuxiabu’s net profit growth rate has shown a downward trend for five consecutive years. From 2016 to 2020, Xiabuxiabu’s net profit growth rate was 39.74%, 14.17%, 10.07%, -37.71% and -99.36%, respectively.

In addition, the Taiwan turnover rate of Xiabuxiabu has also been declining year by year. From 2017 to 2020, the Taiwan turnover rate was 3.3, 2.8, 2.6 and 2.3 respectively.

As the main growth engine of Xiabuxiabu in recent years, Cocoa Hotpot will contribute 31% of total revenue in 2020. However, the turnover rate in 2020 will also drop from 2.9 in 2019 to 2.5.

In 2020, Xiabuxiabu will add 77 stores, including 39 Xiabuxiabu restaurants and 38 Coucuo restaurants, bringing the total number of restaurants to 1,201.

Previously, Xiabuxiabu had expected to open 100 new stores in 2021, but as of May 21 this year, it only opened 20 new stores, which is far below the target.

Xiabuxiabu Group CFO Yu Xiaofang previously stated that in order to solve the current development bottleneck, the group has made a series of adjustments. Previously, the vice president of development in charge of Cou Cou has also been transferred to the group level while managing Cou Cou and Xiabuxia. Bu, the speed of opening stores will also accelerate in the future.

He Guangqi told Sohu Finance that he would lower the target number of stores this year.

“Coucuo’s business will continue to focus on opening stores and the continued growth of the old store business in the short term. Before this, the tea and beverages part has declined, mainly due to the unavailability of imported raw materials due to the epidemic.” He Guangqi said.

Why are airplane windows oval? In the early 1950s, the world’s first commercial jet was developed and manufactured by De Havilland. This is considered the miracle of the aviation industry. However, after a year of use, the plane fell to pieces right in the sky and within a few months, two more suffered the same fate. Engineers scrutinized the plane’s screws and discovered that the main cause was the square window. With this design, the pressure is higher at the door corners and increases significantly in flight. So the engineers decided to replace it with round or oval windows. Why do airplanes have curved wing tips? During a flight, the pressure on top of the wing is lower than the pressure under the wing. Air tends to shift from high pressure below the wing to low pressure above and around the wing tips. In the past, the wing tips were designed to be straight, causing the airflow to cause serious turbulence. Therefore, the scientists decided to bend the wing tip upwards to reduce turbulence, prolong the durability of the wing and save a lot of fuel during travel. Thanks to this feature, everyone will feel more comfortable during the flight. Why do airplane noses have different shapes? The nose of a military aircraft is pointed, the sharper the nose, the faster it flies. However, if the nose is too long, the pilot cannot see the runway correctly, which is why civil aircraft have round noses. Russian engineers solved this problem in the 1960s. The fastest passenger jet could tilt its nose. During takeoff and landing, the aircraft tilts its nose down and during flight the nose will be brought back to its original position. This strange design is intended to help pilots see the runway better. Why are airplanes painted white? Airplanes are almost always painted white. There are several reasons to explain this problem: Heat Reflection: A plane painted white will accumulate less heat. This is better for passengers and economically beneficial for airlines.
White paint is cheaper than other paints.
Prevent bird collisions: Birds can see reflections from white surfaces better, reducing the risk of collisions with aircraft.
White paint helps reveal small cracks and dents: The paint makes cracks easier to see, identifies problems early, avoids accidents, and makes damage easier to see. Why is the exit on the left? Not all but most aircraft have the main entrance on the left side. There is an explanation: The right side is for luggage (the cargo hatch is also on the right) so it is not safe for passengers.
Some say it’s an old tradition: The train ramp is always on the left.
The aircraft door is installed on the left side, which allows them to park the plane in the passenger area better and move more easily. Why are some planes oddly shaped? You must have heard of stealth aircraft. It has an odd shape to avoid detection by radar, sonar, infrared and other detection means, and to be able to carry more luggage with less fuel consumption. The shape of the plane is inspired by birds. Birds of prey use that shape to increase their range and be less visible. However, these aircraft are often too expensive to be used in civil aviation. How do airplanes look spacious? The designers use a number of tricks to make the plane look taller and more spacious than it actually is. For example, the walls have certain shapes to reflect light correctly. The illumination between the ceiling and the overhead bin makes the ceiling visually taller. Thanks to these tips, people with plane phobia will feel more comfortable. Why don’t pilots have beards? Some airlines ban pilots from growing beards. This is explained that, the beard can cause the oxygen mask to not fit tightly to the pilot’s face and work properly in an emergency situation. In particular, in that case, the pilots must always be alert to save the lives of passengers on the plane.

At 12 noon, Mrs. Nguyen Thi Chi (67 years old, from Ben Tre) returned to a shack in Vinh Loc B commune (Binh Chanh district, Ho Chi Minh City). Due to the complicated epidemic situation, her business of selling lottery tickets has been severely affected. Going all morning, she has not sold more than half of the lottery tickets received from last night. “Selling too slow, I’m worried this month I won’t be able to pay for the room. Fortunately, the landlord has announced that he will cut my rent by half,” said Ms. Chi, adding that she would tighten spending. To save money, every day, she eats only white rice and dried fish that was given to her by a neighbor. Living in a difficult situation, she was very happy when she heard that her rent was reduced. This joy also comes to more than 300 people who are renting at Residence No. 1 (Hoc Mon district, Ho Chi Minh City). Mr. Pham Trung Hieu, the owner of the accommodation, said that during the recent Covid-19 epidemics, the Ho Chi Minh City Youth Worker Support Center and the accommodation have implemented many programs to support tenants. Currently, many motel owners have exempted or reduced rent for employees. During this epidemic, he also reduced the rent for more than 300 people staying here. “We give gifts to workers who are renting and reduce the room rate by 50%. The accommodation is supported by a sponsor of the Ho Chi Minh City Youth Worker Support Center. We will organize people to come and receive free rice next Saturday,” he said. Meanwhile, in a row of more than 20 rooms for rent on Nguyen Cong Hoan Street (Ward 7, Phu Nhuan District, Ho Chi Minh City), Mr. Ho De is free of charge for some tenants here. This is the fourth time that Mr. De has exempted or reduced the rent. He said: “Three previous epidemics, I also exempted and reduced rent. Poor families rent here for many years, I reduce the money. For students, students with difficulties, I always free rent.” Ms. Only received a reduction in the rent of the room from the lessor. To save money, she only eats white rice with the dried fish given to her. Local people said that Mr. De’s exemption and reduction of rent is not uncommon. Because more than 40 years ago, he had taken care of, even for people with difficult circumstances, poor students to stay in free accommodation. Leave a house of tens of billions, treat tenants like family In particular, recently, he completed a will with the content of leaving 2 houses worth tens of billions of dong for the lonely elderly and poor students – free of charge. Ho Thi Nhu Quynh, a student at the University of Industry 4, who is renting here, said: “Every epidemic, Mr. De also visits and asks for the innkeepers”. “He put up a notice to give everyone a 50% discount on rent. However, when he knew which families were too difficult, he reduced them from 60-70% of the rent. Some people are completely exempted from rent by him,” Nhu Quynh said. Similar to Mr. De, Ms. Nguyen Thi Thuy (owner of a motel room in Tan Quy Ward, Tan Phu District, Ho Chi Minh City) also reduced the rent and space for the poor from last May. This is the fourth time that Mr. Ho De has exempted or reduced the rent. However, until this June, the epidemic situation in Ho Chi Minh City was still complicated, so she continued to reduce the rent. She even actively reduced the rent of her already very low business premises. Mr. Nguyen Van Tai, the tenant of Ms. Thuy’s premises, said that he and his wife rented the business front in front of Ms. Thuy’s inn to sell soft drinks. Although located in a large street frontage, crowded with people, convenient for business, Ms. Thuy rented it to him at a very cheap price. “In this epidemic, Ho Chi Minh City was separated for a long time, so I sold very little. One day, we barely sold anything, it was very difficult. Fortunately, Ms. Thuy actively reduced the rent. This has helped our family a lot during this tight time,” said Mr. Tai. Thuy shared, most of the tenants here have been with her for many years. According to each person’s circumstances, Ms. Thuy will reduce the rent differently. She said: “In the epidemic, people who work are unemployed, business people are sluggish… Therefore, their income has also decreased a lot. How can I collect enough rent? I try to reduce the rent, rent the premises so that they can help some or that part. Right now, I just want to help workers overcome the pandemic so that they can stabilize their lives and send money back to their hometowns.” Like Mrs. Thuy, Mr. Hieu said, he always considers the people who are renting with him as “family members”. When his “family” was severely affected by the epidemic, he could not sit still. Therefore, even though he knew that he would lose a large amount of income when reducing the rent by 50% for more than 300 people, he still tried to do it.

The cover shot by Zhang Jiacheng has once again created a completely new image with a unique retro look. For the short-haired beauty with a bit of solidification, the freshness this time is very full. The first is a brand new hairstyle. Long-haired hairstyles are rarely used in major movies. The hair style of the Qing Dynasty has a feeling of returning to the Zhen Huan period, revealing a slightly obtrusive big forehead, that kind of stubborn temperament and facial features are all expressed. The rare heavy make-up and brilliantly applied, creating a cold and sharp temperament, it seems that it is still the second time to return to the palace.

This time is mainly retro style. The first exposed cover is quite amazing, mainly showing the high nose and eyes, highlighting the temperament changes brought by heavy makeup, warm color makeup and Van Cleef & Arpels. The color jewellery of Cyabao fully demonstrates the luxurious texture. The appearance of velvet gloves perfectly laid the style of the overall retro style, looking at people across the flowers, shining jewels, and romantic style.

In the trend of western retro style, Hepburn’s classic little black dress is naturally indispensable. The long gloves are elegant in style and exude a strong classical court temperament. The velvet material is a must-have material in the classic style. It collides with the color high-end jewelry to create a high-level and gorgeous texture, and it also gets rid of the deep effect of all black.

However, the skirt design of this cake skirt is quite unique, with a three-dimensional sense of architectural style. After getting rid of the waistline, it looks like wearing a Christmas tree, getting rid of the traditional and elegant restraints of retro style, creating a playful effect of ghost horses. Sun Li, who has been working out, practicing yoga, and practicing Tai Chi all the year round, has a surprising sense of control over her limbs. She dances in front of the camera. His slim figure and shape are perfectly blended. He looks strange and very cute.

In this styling, the appearance rate of ladies’ gloves is extremely high. Even this modern style skirt with a sense of design makes perfect use of gloves to establish the overall style. The highlight of the details is the echoing effect of the high collar, which gives the classical style a more complete sense of harmony, but the dark black makeup is really too sharp.

Speaking of French retro, how can one lack a wide-brimmed hat? As an accessory of European aristocrats, the top hat is more formal in style with the dress, but the wide-brimmed hat is more suitable for daily amorous charm. This pair of breeches and big bow shirt, make full use of the wide-brimmed hat to stimulate the sexy charm of the see-through top. It’s just that the gloves are slightly redundant.

Another shortcoming is the problem caused by the hairstyle. This Qing palace hair style is too exposed to Sun Li’s face shape. The whole brain is a bit awkward, and the face shape is out of balance. Sun Li’s facial features are relatively tough. Without hair modification, male The look is heavier, but the wide-brimmed hat looks a bit redundant.

The use of simple polka dot tulle can also create a classic charm, which is almost the same as the matching effect of a top hat. Using red lips to enhance this hazy feeling of looking at flowers in the mist, it has both beautiful and sexy effects, but also noble and bright. , It also makes facial lines softer and feminine. There are also see-through stockings under the long skirt. If you only match stockings, it is obviously too much, but the matching of the veil instantly makes the overall shape harmonious.

The retro caramel color creates a strong femininity. Different from the above styles that focus on retro items, the focus is on color matching. The caramel color background and the shape are combined to create a French-style effect, which is elegant to the extreme and shows the domineering of a big woman. The breakthrough point is that it is rare to show sexy with a sling lace skirt, and the ribbon around the neck is full of amorous feelings.

After getting rid of the middle bun, this stewardess style bun has a better effect on the face shape, and the whole temperament is also softer, but overall, the effect of this long hair style modification is far less than the daily short hair. Especially the Qing palace hair type has a heavier rollover feeling.

A month after the fire, the X-Press Pearl now lies dormant in a semi-submersible state off the coast of Sri Lanka, its hull resting on the sandy bottom of the shallow sea. The X-Press Pearl burned for 13 days off the coast of Sri Lanka. Photo: BBC. Although the fire on board has been extinguished, the problems stemming from the fire are just beginning. Many stacked chemical containers are still stuck on the ship. Many of these barrels have leaked and soaked into the water, raising concerns about marine life being poisoned by the chemicals. In addition, tons of microplastics have washed up on nearby local beaches. Hundreds of tons of engine fuel sealed in the sunken hull is also likely to leak into the sea. In addition to the environmental threats, the X-Press Pearl ship fire also had devastating consequences for local communities, according to the report. BBC . Indigenous fishermen lose their livelihood overnight and may suffer the consequences for years to come. “We are fishermen, we have to go to the sea every day. We can only make a living by going to sea, otherwise our whole family will starve,” said Denish Rodrigo, who lives on the Sri Lankan coast. with BBC . Billions of microplastics One of the most striking features in the photos documenting the X-Press Pearl fire disaster is the many small round plastic beads spilling from the ship. The number of pieces of plastic is so much that the naked eye can see them when they are next to each other. These microplastics are the main ingredient of most plastic products on the planet. Large amounts of microplastics from the X-Press Pearl ship could threaten the Sri Lankan ecosystem. Photo: BBC. “There were about 46 different chemicals on that ship (X-Press Pearl),” Hemantha Withanage, a Sri Lankan environmental activist, told the BBC. BBC . “But what we’ve been able to see most clearly so far are tons of microplastics.” Since the end of May, pieces of plastic from the X-Press Pearl have washed up on the beaches of Negombo city on the west coast of Sri Lanka. Locals also reported dead fish floating around because of ingesting microplastics. Normally, plastic takes between 500 and 1,000 years to completely decompose. The aforementioned microplastics may have been pushed by ocean currents to the coasts around Sri Lanka or even beyond. “Our whole family will starve to death” For fishermen in Negombo, their concern isn’t just about ingesting microplastics in their fish, but the possibility that they won’t be able to catch any fish. Local authorities have issued a fishing ban in the area affected by the fire. This means that many fishermen have lost their entire source of income and livelihood overnight. “Fish species grow on coral reefs in the area, and authorities say those areas have been destroyed by the effects of dangerous chemicals. Now there is no choice but to jump into the sea naturally. death,” said Mr. Tiuline Fernando, who has been a fisherman for the past 35 years BBC . Many fishing families in Negombo struggled to make ends meet because they lost their livelihood overnight. Photo: BBC. The Sri Lankan government is demanding compensation and insurance from the owners of the X-Press Pearl. However, locals do not expect that money to be used to support them. The local fishermen’s association said it needed help from the whole community. “It’s not just us (fishers) but many other related industries are also affected,” explained the president of the indigenous fishermen’s association Densil Fernando. “Suppliers of nets, engines, boats and oil are involved in fishing operations. Thousands of jobs related to the fishing industry are being affected,” said Mr. Fernando. Chemical pollution The most lasting impact from the fire is believed to be a problem of chemical contamination. Activist Withanage said some of the hazardous elements found on board the X-Press Pearl were nitric acid, sodium dioxide, copper and lead. When mixed with water, these elements enter the internal organs of local sea creatures. Small fish can die immediately from poisoning, but large fish are more likely to survive, the poison will gradually accumulate in their bodies over time. Toxic marine life washed ashore in Negombo, Sri Lanka. Photo: BBC. Mr Withange said fish, turtles and dolphins had died and washed up on beaches. Many of them have turned green, indicating that the body is contaminated with metals and chemicals. “In a couple of years, if you catch a tuna, there’s a good chance it’s still poisoned,” Mr Withange said. “This chemical buildup is a serious problem.” “People should be informed about this,” he added. “The X-Press Pearl is now a toxic ship. Anything from this ship that washes ashore is very poisonous. People shouldn’t even touch them.”

First of all, the fairy’s forehead contour is quite beautiful, the facial features are exquisite, and the advantages are unique. But a princess cut her hair, covering her forehead and facial contours. Although the princess’s tailoring style is indifferent and elegant, it makes the fairy’s delicate facial features feel wasted, and the natural beauty completely loses its advantage.

In addition, Liu Yifei is born with a face value online, which is highly recognized and absolutely unique. However, the hair cut by the possessed princess was superfluous and made her lose her unique style. If you don’t look carefully, it is really possible to recognize her as Yang Mi at a glance. She was pretty in the first place, so her face value was sealed. Some netizens even think that Liu Yifei’s face value of 100 points is now only 80 points.

In addition to today’s princess cut style, Liu Yifei has also challenged many other styles, from the second-level pink hair, to the ancient purple jade, to the future female warrior, it is really a breakthrough from the previous fairy style. Liu Yifei’s challenging spirit is commendable, but from an aesthetic point of view, it is a pity that the fairy sister’s beauty has been lost. The beauty of this flourishing age is hidden outside the true beauty, only Xiao Xiao’s feeling.

Look at the TV series “The Legend of the Condor Heroes” by Liu Yifei. The little dragon girl in the show has beautiful hair, white hair, big eyes and aura, fresh and white cheeks, and a long skirt. Show Liu Yifei’s exquisite beauty to the extreme.

The trailer of “Menghualu” recently released has not yet been broadcast, and it has attracted numerous attentions. Inside, Liu Yifei’s bun was curled up high, her nose was raised high, and her smile was raised, showing a fairy spirit, which truly restored Liu Yifei’s true beauty.

It seems that Liu Yifei with exquisite features is more beautiful, smarter and more refined. Her fairy temperament may not really suit the cool style.

I don’t know what Liu Yifei’s next look will be.

The rest of the squad consisted of Ilkay Gundogan and Toni Kroos in midfield; Mats Hummels, Antonio Ruediger and Matthias Ginter play central defenders; Wingers are Robin Gosens on the left and Joshua Kimmich on the right. The goalkeeper, of course, is Manuel Neuer. If this happens, it will be a small surprise for observers. Three years older than Havertz, Sane is considered older, after 30 caps for the national team compared to Havertz’s only 14. In 7 consecutive matches before the tournament, Sane participated in all 7, scored 2 goals, had 2 assists. Havertz only contributed 4, has 1 goal and 3 assists. He, along with Gundogan, Timo Werner, and Ruediger also arrived late to the training camp because they were busy attending the Champions League final with the Chelsea team. Therefore, in terms of continuity, recovery time as well as the performance of the last matches on the national team, Havertz is inferior to Sane. To explain this, German media said that coach Loew is afraid of the ability to attack France. With the trio of Kylian Mbappe, Antoine Griezmann, Karim Benzema in attack, using Sane is like putting a burden on Kimmich’s right wingback shoulder. Compared to Sane, Havertz defended better. In the 3-4-3 system that Loew used in this tournament, the defensive ability of the winger is very important against strong opponents like France. At most, even. But losing the opening match in the group of death was a disaster. High form at the end of the season at Chelsea helps Kai Havertz (middle) almost certainly start in Germany before the French opponent. In an interview with the press, Rudiger confirmed this to the media: “We have to be ready for one-on-one matches against the opponent. It is not always possible to aim for beautiful football. What is important is improvisation and readiness from the very beginning,” he said. It is possible to imagine the scenario of Havertz combining with Kimmich to “fight” with Mbappe on the wing. Even the central midfielders had to come out to support. Mr. Loew has enough data about this very fast striker, after Bayern clashed with PSG twice in two consecutive Champions League seasons. The Bayern player is no stranger to Mbappe. Hansi Flick, Loew’s former assistant on the national team, who also led Bayern in these two confrontations, is also a reputable source. But saying that does not mean that Coach Loew abandoned Sane. Sane can come into the field in the second half. Sane is better at creating mutations than Havertz, which can come in handy after both sides’ physical decline. Loew understands both players. For Havertz, he considers this a striker “old before his age”, still very young but with a high sense of responsibility, always ensuring his position and teamwork when playing. Sane is even more special, especially when Loew “eats enough” after deciding to remove this player from the 2018 World Cup list. That tragic failure made Loew forced to calculate many options, because of the competitiveness in EURO even higher. This is where Loew’s intellect plays a decisive role. Considering each position, Germany does not lose much to France, although the French players are at their maturity and many German players have not reached the top. But the important thing is how to improvise and use people in a survival battle like this. Loew will have to calculate carefully and correctly, not allowing mistakes. Havertz was more useful after Germany lost to Spain From the 0-6 defeat to Spain in November 2020 and earlier, Germany still often plays 4 defenders and Havertz has to play many positions against his forte. In addition to the attack and winger, he also played as a central midfielder on the television. When changing to a 3-back formation, Havertz is clearly a heavyweight plan on the right. After the defeat, Loew wanted Germany to defend the border better. 0.9 – According to Whoscored, across all club competitions, last season Kai Havertz had an average of 0.9 successful tackles per game, 0.4 successful tackles per game. These numbers of Sane are 0.6 and 0.4 respectively.

The scientific world is an endless field, and people should be brave to explore. —— Tong Di Zhou

China has a long history of five thousand years, and there are too many unsolved mysteries that humans have not yet explored. Although the current technology cannot explain it, we believe that we will know the mystery in the future. Around each of us, there will be some things that cannot be explained by science, such as fortune-telling masters. Why do they not need to understand to calculate their own good fortune and good fortune? Old people often say that some things cannot be trusted, but we must also believe in them. We still have to be in awe of the unsolved mysteries.

I don’t know if everyone knows the people on credit knives. From ancient times to the present, there have been rumors that they can predict life and death, predict prosperity, and they will appear whenever something big is about to happen. Thirty years ago, there were people on credit knives who walked through the streets and left behind mysterious prophecies. So what are their identities? What kind of legend is there in them? Today we’ll find out.

The “Prophecy” of the Credit Knife

Perhaps many young people don’t know the credit knives. The inherent image of their group is to carry kitchen knives, scissors, iron pots, farm tools and other items on their backs to conduct transactions. Unlike the transactions of people nowadays, these transactions are not simple. It’s only sold on credit, not on credit. They will credit these things in their possession to those in need, and will leave them with a word or a few prophecies. If this prophecy comes true, they will collect the money, which is regarded as a proof of collecting the money.

Their predictions are usually very weird. For the people of that era, most of them were impossible things, such as: wait until the price of meat becomes too high, then come to buy a knife; or wait until the peasants are not there. Willing to farm, and then collect money and so on. For the people at that time, this was simply impossible, and people were unwilling to believe it. However, the behavior of the credit-knife people still caused a lot of heated discussions. After all, at that time, they The appearance of is indeed very puzzling, it can be said that the dragon sees the head but does not see the end.

Some people think that they use some ancient witchcraft to carry out some feudal superstition activities. After all, all they carry are some knives, so everyone guesses that they use this method to transfer the bad luck of the home to others. Body. Some people think that they are some illegal organizations. Perhaps they use this method to pass information to their own people. The most credible statement is that because the people on credit knives go north and south, the knives they sell will be more unusual. It was much more expensive because at that time, their price was much more expensive than on the market.

The “True Faces” of the Swordsman

Of course, the times are constantly changing, and perhaps most people will not care about the money when their predictions come true. From ancient times to the present, people have been skeptical about it, but with the change of times, their seemingly impossible predictions at the time have actually been fulfilled. What is even more strange is that their prediction of the world has also been fulfilled. The sentence “There are fields for no one to grow, and houses for no one to live. People will come out, and beasts will walk in clothes.” Doesn’t it reflect the current hollowing out of the countryside?

Many people are curious about the true identities of the credit knives, and everyone is beginning to guess where these credit knives come from? But what everyone doesn’t know is that this credit knife has always had a career. It is said that it is the muffled voice of Guiguzi, whose main responsibility is to divination of life and death and to predict prosperity as its own responsibility. We also know that Guiguzi was originally a mysterious figure in Chinese history, and was once known as the “Eternal Wonder”. It has always been an object that people respect. As a disciple of Guiguzi, it is natural to take this as his own responsibility, and the act of crediting the sword is also to accumulate virtue and do good, in order to enhance his own cultivation.

It is worth mentioning that after their prediction is fulfilled, they will not actually come to take their money, but disappear. Such a move also makes people’s guess a little more certain. Of course, the speculation of this statement also has a lot of unpredictability and does not fit the reality. So there is another way of saying that it is grain merchants, perhaps this kind of approach is closer to reality.

Because in the ancient farming society, people paid more attention to food. The price of this food was closely related to the stability of the society. In order to prevent losses in their business, the food merchants made this move. This not only stabilizes people’s hearts, but also guarantees the price of grain, so that it will not lose too much when buying and selling grain, and it will also be able to obtain a small profit from it.

Over the years, there have been different opinions about the people on credit knives, and some people think that the behavior of the people on credit knives may be to relieve the poor who cannot afford knives. They have passed through countless villages, countless customers on credit, and failed to register on the spot for a few years. Postscript? They are doing good, helping the suffering people in the world, and truly serving the people. They should be worthy of admiration from the people of the world! Everyone has their own opinions, but there is no authoritative explanation about their rumors. Maybe we can solve this mystery someday.

The world’s great wonders

In this world, there are too many things that modern high technology can’t explain, even if the current technology is very advanced, it is still the case. After all, the natural world is so big, we human beings are very small in front of nature. So, there are some more profound things that we haven’t explored yet. The road ahead is still long, and we need to explore it slowly. Zola once said: The whole meaning of life lies in endless exploration of things that have not yet been known.

In the discovery and exploration of life, we also need to maintain a calm and objective attitude, and don’t rush for success. If we fail, we will really lose out. Blindly pursuing speed, on the contrary, cannot be a major event. Only when we face these events with a peaceful mind, we will slowly approach success. The world is too big, and there are still many things to explore. In order to see more unexpected wonders, let us take a positive and optimistic attitude, take the pace of exploration, and discover. I don’t know, what do you think about this?

“Zola’s Quotes”

– I love you for so long, but if she doesn’t let me do anything, maybe it’s gone. Well, let’s break up and find another girl. – Don’t worry, my girlfriend and children are obedient, nothing can be lost. – Come on, dad, it’s a dumb chicken Now that I’m still zin, that’s the problem, dad. There was a problem so no one touched it. You should reconsider your girlfriend, but when a girl loves to hold on to that, there is a real problem. It makes sense to listen to them, but it’s not, because now things are not like our grandparents used to be. Now people even encourage pregnancy before marriage for fear that many people will not be able to have children after marriage. If you don’t believe it, then let me go to someone else so I can find my true happiness (illustration) So I went back and invited my girlfriend. She mentioned it a few times before, but she resolutely kept it, this time I took the initiative to ask again: – Loved each other for more than 1 year, brought back to meet my parents, but you still don’t believe me? If you don’t believe it, I’ll let you go to someone else so you can find your true happiness. “It’s not that I don’t believe you, it’s because I want to keep you.” You and I are not young anymore, we are both mature. Determined to come together, it’s okay to wait a little longer when we get married. – But my mother said that many people are very infertile now, the daughters-in-law of his mother’s friends all returned for several years without giving birth, so I am worried. Mom is telling you to get pregnant and get married. Actually, that’s when I thought of what my mother said, but my mother did not encourage me to do it. But unexpectedly, the lover really believed: – Did your mother really say that? – Yes, my mother said that I am old, but not in my twenties. Now that I’m pregnant, my mother will marry me. I didn’t expect her to be here, everyone, and agreed to go to the motel with me that night. But what made me so surprised and happy was that on the pure white sheet there were red blood stains, proving that my girlfriend was still a virgin. I happily texted my friend: – My girlfriend is still 100% zin, here is the proof. – Come on, Dad, it’s too early to be happy. Who knows, what if she patched? – What is it? – Maybe your girlfriend fake it. The 26-year-old girl is still zin I go to the ground. Don’t believe it, ask online and see… At this time, I also half believed and half doubted so I decided to post my status line on Facebook. “The 26-year-old daughter is still zin, which proves it’s fake, everyone.” I didn’t expect people to comment very loudly, each with an opinion. Some people say it’s true, some say it’s fake, some even tag my girlfriend’s name. At that time, when I read the comments, I was so excited that I didn’t expect that each of these stories would be dissected from many angles, and it was fun to tell. Then I fell asleep at random, my girlfriend slept before me. When I woke up, she was nowhere to be found, I went to the bathroom and she was not there. I discovered there was a 500k bill on the nightstand. This money is definitely left by the girlfriend because there are only 2 people in the room. “I paid you last night, don’t look for me anymore. I didn’t expect him to be like that.” (illustration) Or she went to buy breakfast, I took out my phone to call her when I saw the message she left: “ I paid you last night, don’t look for me anymore. I didn’t expect him to be like this.” . My phone is still flooded with notifications from Facebook, many people tag their names and ask my girlfriend directly: “You let him tell you that.” “That kind of thing is abandoned early”. Since then, she hasn’t appeared in front of me anymore. I asked friends who knew someone who said they didn’t know, who didn’t, but most of her close friends were disdainful towards me, as if I was the one to blame for her to leave. Until now, after 2 years, I still haven’t seen my ex. I am married, and my wife was not chaste when she came to me. Sometimes when I think back, I still feel that I was a bit too much with my ex, maybe if it happened today, I wouldn’t have asked on the internet like that. If she reads these lines, I hope you will forgive me… Wish you a peaceful and happy life forever.

Government advisory council proposal Will you retire at 68?

Status: 07.06.2021 6:49 p.m.

Advisors to the federal government consider it necessary to raise the retirement age to 68 years. Otherwise, the pension will soon be heading for a “financing shock”. The left reacted indignantly. Advisors to the federal government proposed a reform towards the retirement age at 68 around three months before the general election. There was a risk of “sudden increasing financing problems in the statutory pension insurance from 2025”, predicted the Scientific Advisory Board at the Federal Ministry of Economics on the occasion of its new report on the future of pensions. According to the current legal situation, the age limit for the pension without deductions will be gradually increased from 65 to 67 years until 2029. The proposal could catapult the topic of pensions more strongly into the debates ahead of the federal elections. Because the positions of the advisory board are likely to meet with rejection from the SPD, the Greens, the left and the trade unions. “This is the anti-social Oberhammer,” said left party leader Susanne Hennig-Wellsow with a view to the report. Economics minister Peter Altmaier had to “cash in immediately” the corresponding report from his advisors, “otherwise the pension election campaign will start tomorrow”. The left will “defend the rights of pensioners with tooth and nail”. What would be necessary would be a clear pension guarantee that bindingly excludes pension cuts as a result of the corona pandemic, said Hennig-Wellsow.

“Dynamic coupling of the retirement age to life expectancy”

The experts emphasized that the retirement age cannot be decoupled from the development of life expectancy in the long term. “Instead, the additional years of life must be divided according to a clear rule between working more and receiving a longer pension.” To this end, there should be a “dynamic link between the retirement age and life expectancy”. The relationship between the time spent in work and in retirement should remain constant. According to current projections of life expectancy, such a rule would reach retirement age in 2042 at 68, said the director at the Max Planck Institute for Social Law and Social Policy, Axel Börsch-Supan, who was in charge of the report. The advisory board emphasized in its announcement: “Should life expectancy decrease, the retirement age may also decrease.”

“Sharply increasing subsidies from the federal budget” necessary

By calling for the retirement age to be linked to life expectancy, the committee made a proposal that has been causing waves in the pension policy debates in Germany for years. It is illusory to expect “that higher contributions and a lower pension level can be avoided in the long term”, according to the panel of experts. In the opinion of the advisory board, “sharply increasing subsidies from the federal budget” would have to flow into the pension fund if the valid holding lines for contributions and the pension level were to be maintained. “That would be at the expense of future investments, for example in education, infrastructure and climate protection, and would undermine the sustainability of our social system,” said the chairman of the advisory board, Klaus M. Schmidt, according to the announcement. The advisory board’s proposals also include making existing pensions less dynamic than new pensions when it comes to pension increases.

By page 163 , a group of 6 friends with 4 dogs, rented a land of 1,000 m2 for 20 years and renovated it into a dream farm where they lived together and developed business projects.

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

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

As India suffers from the world’s worst corona virus crisis, our New Delhi chiefs describe the fear of living in the midst of a pandemic spreading at large scale and speed. so. The crematoriums piled up the bodies, as if a war had just happened. Fire burns day and night. Many places held mass cremations, with dozens of people at the same time. And, at night, in some areas of New Delhi, the sky was blazing with flames. The sick person, without a bed, must lie down on the ground. Photo: New York Times. I waited for my turn to become infected Sickness and death were everywhere. Dozens of homes in my neighborhood have people infected. One of my colleagues is sick. My son’s teacher is also sick. The neighbor is two houses on the right side: Um. The two houses on the left: Um. “I don’t know what kind of illness I have,” said a good friend of mine who was in the hospital. “Just taking a breath and you will …”, his voice fades, unable to finish the sentence because he is too tired. He barely has a decent bed. And the medicine that the doctor prescribed for him is not in India. I was sitting in my house waiting for my turn to get sick. That is the feeling it is in New Delhi, as the world’s worst Covid-19 crisis is happening all around us. It’s out there, I’m here, and I feel as if it’s only a matter of time before I get sick. India is recording more infections every day, sometimes up to 350,000, more than any other country since the beginning of the pandemic, and that’s just the official numbers. Most experts believe that this number is lower than reality. The crematorium was overloaded, many bodies were waiting for their turn. Photo: New York Times. New Delhi, the vast capital of India’s 20 million people, is suffering from a huge spurt. A few days ago, the positive rate reached a staggering 36%. This means that more than a third of people tested are infected. A month ago, this figure was less than 3%. The disease spread so quickly that hospitals were completely flooded with sick people. Thousands of people were turned away. Medicine is exhausted. The same goes for lifesaving oxygen. Patients are trapped in long, tangled lines at the hospital gate or at home. They were gasping for breath, literally. Although New Delhi was blocked, the epidemic was still raging. Doctors across this city and some of Delhi’s top politicians are giving desperate SOS calls, both on social media and on TV, to beg for oxygen, medicine, and help. . It was as if war had just happened in India Experts have always warned that Covid-19 could devastate India completely. The country is vast with about 1.4 billion people, densely populated, and in many places, its inhabitants are still very poor. What we are witnessing is very different from last year, in the first wave of India. Then there is the fear of the unknown. Now we know. We know the overall disease, its size, its speed. We know how frightening this second wave is, it hits everyone at once. The outdoor collective cremation ground is constantly red and fiery. Photo: New York Times. What we feared in the first wave of last year is now coming to the fore: the disruption, the fall, the realization that so many people will die. As a foreign reporter for nearly 20 years, I traveled around war zones, was kidnapped in Iraq and sent to jail in many places. But this pandemic is worrisome in another way. There is no way to know if I, my wife, and two children are among those with mild illness and then recover well, or if we will be exhausted. And if we get really sick, where do we go? The intensive care areas are full. The entrance to many hospitals has been closed. A new strain here has a “double mutation” that can cause a lot of harm. Science has yet to delve into it, but as far as we know, one mutation makes the virus more contagious, and the other makes it partially resistant to the vaccine. Doctors are quite scared. I talked to a few people and they said that I had the vaccine twice but still got very sick. A Covid-19 patient is waiting to be hospitalized in South Delhi, April 24. Photo: New York Times. So what can we do? Personally, I try to stay optimistic, believing it to be one of the best immune system boosters. However, in reality, I find myself lazily walking indoors, cooking for the children in a lethargic state, feeling like both my mind and body are dough like wet powder. I’m afraid of checking my phone because I miss a text message telling my other friend that my friend is seriously ill, or worse. I am sure millions of people feel the same way. I began to visualize the symptoms: Did I have a sore throat? What is that headache? Is my condition worse today than yesterday? A part of where I live, South Delhi, is now blocked. Like many other places, we had a strict blockade last year. But now, the doctors here are warning us that the virus is more contagious and we have a lot less chance of getting help than the last wave. Therefore, many of us are frightened when we step outside, as if there is poison in the air and everyone is afraid of breathing. No one wears a mask, not even the police Delhi is plunged into hardships and dangers, but the situation is still getting worse. Epidemiologists say the number will continue to grow, possibly up to 500,000 new infections per day nationwide, and up to one million Indians will die from Covid-19 until August. It should not be like this. India was anti-epidemic well up until a few weeks ago, at least on the surface. The country closed its doors, experienced the first wave, then reopened. The mortality rate here is very low (at least according to official statistics). Last winter, life almost returned to normal. I was out for the news in January and February, driving through towns in Central India. Nobody – I mean, no one, not even the police – wear a mask. This is as if the country is telling itself: “It’s okay, we have it under control”, despite the wave of a second wave. But now, not many people dare to think like that anymore. Relatives of a Covid-19 victim were performing a religious ceremony during the funeral on April 24. Photo: New York Times. Many in India are also upset with the speed of the vaccination campaign. Less than 10% of the population has received one dose, and only 1.6% are fully vaccinated, even though India is producing two vaccines. “Catastrophic catastrophe” Here, as elsewhere, the rich are less affected by a crisis. But this time it was different. A friend of mine, well connected, asked all the people he knew to help his friend, a severe Covid-19 patient. His friend is dead. No one can help him in hospital. The patient is paralyzed. “I tried everything to get him a bed, but we couldn’t. Everything is chaotic, ”my friend said, his emotions still intact. “This is a disaster. This is murder ”. Every day, I ventured out to buy food because no one delivered it. I wear two masks completely and stay as far away from others as possible. Almost every day passed, a family of 4 of us all withered from inside. We try to play together, try not to talk about the people who just got sick, or the people running around town looking for help, and they probably won’t find it. Sometimes we just sat quietly in the living room, looking out at the sweet figs and palms. Through the open window, on long, hot, quiet afternoons, we can only hear two languages: the sound of an ambulance. And birds. ‘The dead cannot leave peacefully in New Delhi either’ India is suffering from a serious shortage of medical equipment and oxygen in the context of a rapidly increasing number of Covid-19 cases. The patient’s family had to wait languidly for the cremation.

Hand movement is controlled by the motor cortex – the part of the brain’s surface that controls all movement. The left side of the body is controlled by the right hemisphere of the brain and vice versa. In the hemisphere, where the dominant side control has more connections between the neurons of the motor cortex – this can always be shown in magnetic resonance imaging by cell activity. nerve. In the past, it was thought that left-handed people simply redirected activity of the hemisphere compared to right-handed people, but that was not the case. For example, in 96% of right-handed people, the speech center and the hand motion control center are in the same left-hemisphere. In left-handed people, the speech center can be located anywhere: 70% of people are in the left hemisphere, 15% are in the right hemisphere, and the rest of the speech center is symmetrically distributed. worthy in both hemispheres. According to one theory, the left-brain hemisphere’s speech centers could evolve based on our ancestors’ right-handed gesture centers. Men are more left-handed than women Among men, 13% are left-handed, and among women -11%. In couples where a mother is left-handed, the child is usually left-handed. The explanation for this is that the mother’s behavior is imitated by her child during childhood development. By repeating the movements of the mother, the child can become left-handed. Researchers have tried to determine whether signs of right-handed or left-handed people are related to gender. It is impossible to determine this with certainty, but there is reason to believe that the development of right-handed and left-handedness can be influenced by sex hormones: testosterone androgen testosterone and dihydrotestosterone. Left-handed and right-handed people can feel the world differently There is a basis to believe that left-handed and right-handed people perceive the world around them differently. In a classic experiment: two boxes were placed in front of two testers, they were given pictures of different animals and asked to place the animals in one of the boxes. Agree on a list of animals they like. As a result, right-handed people put their favorite animals in the box on the left, and left-handed people put them on the right. This means that left-handed and right-handed people perceive space differently: for left-handed people, the space on the left is associated with something good, for right-handed people. right hand – is the right side. Lefties tend to have a better artistic penchant – American rocker Kurt Cobain pictured here. Trying to be right-handed is not necessary In the past, left-handed people were often rehearsed for right-handedness: they tied their left hand behind their back, hit it with a ruler or took objects from their left hand and transferred them to their right hand. With practice, the lowercase script gets worse: in children, it often involves fine-tuning of precise movements in kindergarten and elementary school. But change often has a negative effect. Fortunately, coercion is no longer common now. Attempts to practice left-handed people can have consequences. In the past, it was believed that in this case, development of speech disturbances could arise, such as stuttering. However, researchers currently have not found evidence of this. But forcing a left-handed person to be a right-handed person can cause serious trauma, especially for children. A right-handed person can become a left-handed (and vice versa) in the event of an injured arm. Adults need more time than children to adjust to this. In children, the transformations last up to 6 years and they typically use both hands for everyday activities, but just as easy activities (like moving the pencil from hand to hand while drawing) . Are left-handed people smarter? In academic studies studies, left-handed people appear to be more gifted than right-handed people. To assess aptitude, different thinking tests are often used, which suggest an alternative or creative way of using something, for example, a pen. It is also believed that in creative industries related to art such as music and architecture, left-handed people have about 10% more. This can be explained by the fact that left-handed brains are more symmetrical so they can access the resources of the two hemispheres at the same time. However, it is not possible to officially confirm this hypothesis in systematic studies. Is right or left handedness related to genetics? Genetic factors are still inconsistent: the probability of having a left-handed child is 37% for both left-handed parents, when there is only one left-handed person – 22%. If both parents are right-handed, the probability of having a left-handed child is only 11%. But in most cases the vast majority of children are right-handed, regardless of which parent is right-handed. In 80% of the cases the twins are either left-handed or right-handed, but in 20% of cases one is left-handed and the other is right-handed. This shows that hand-handedness must be determined by a combination of both genetic and environmental factors. There is no specific gene for right-handed or left-handedness. It is generally accepted that the dominant hand is determined by a very large number of genes, each of which holds only a very small fraction and that their coordinated interactions are not entirely clear-cut. It is now accepted that left-handed and right-handed are genetically determined to be 25%, while 75% are by environmental conditions.

An decided to quit working for 6 years to follow his dream. Photo: NVCC. Leave work, go to the forest In early 2020, the Covid -19 translation caused the tourism and service industry to fall into crisis. The restaurants met many difficulties, An’s work had many impacts. After a period of thinking, An decided to quit his job to find a new opportunity. “I think of Da Lat. When I first started working, I had a plan to go to Da Lat to work because I liked the nature and the atmosphere there. But people advise that the young should stay in the city to work, get experience. After 6 years working, I am confident enough to fulfill my own dream ”, An confided. An used the money saved after many years to become a homestay combined with a passion for cooking. Away from his family at the age of 13, An was used to living independently and looking for opportunities for himself, although starting a business in a new land presents many challenges. An Bao Da Lat had many opportunities but also many difficulties. “People looking from the outside think that being a homestay must be ‘chill’, very relaxed. Not wrong, but not entirely right, ”An said. Not simply bringing money to rent a house and decorate it, only in the first 10 days to Da Lat, An fell 5 kg, sometimes stressed out and could not sleep. “Have to close the kitchen, fix the house, paint the house, pick up the dust, clean the house, wash the laundry… do it all by yourself. In the past, working in the kitchen underwent a lot of pressure, but this pressure was several times higher ”, said Van An. It took a month for the new job to go into order. An spent 1 month to repair and decorate the house. Building a house is difficult, maintaining it is even more difficult. Previously, just focused on cooking delicious food for diners, now get used to getting up late and getting up early to welcome guests, taking care of every piece of food and sleep for guests every time they visit the house. “After all the initial hardships, it’s time to live the good days”, An laughed. “Every day to meet and get acquainted with new people, to go to the market to cook what you like. When you give your all to everyone, it’s also time to receive positive things.” Keeping Da Lat “The translation season is arduous, but it’s also fun. Have time to relax, redecorate the house, go around Dalat or neighboring places, ”An said. “The landlord called to say not to collect rent during the epidemic, while I never complained or pleaded. Then my friends help out a lot, often come home to help ”, according to Van An, stepping through the hardships, the new appreciation of human feelings for others. Guests as well as relatives visit the house. The thing that made An feel sad the most was that Da Lat was increasingly losing quality. “The city gradually lost its beauty of nature. Every place is racing to “foreignize”, “westernize”, from Japanese garden, Bali sky gate to Hong Kong street … but in fact, the core value of Dalat is pine forest, pure nature “. An said. Therefore, An always tries to build his house so that each guest can feel the peaceful atmosphere of the mountain town. Being a chef, An takes care of meals for guests, if he has time, he accompanies guests to entertainment spots in Da Lat, everyone will meet like family members. not just a stay. “The day before going to Thailand, I felt they do tourism very well, practical and useful. Traveling in me is often clever, sometimes deceived. I feel like I have to have a mind, to be sustainable, ”said An.

Does it feel like a restaurant or a homestay when you hear “Shuitianyige”? Although you can also dine here, it is more like an activity center for the elderly. When we went there, many elderly people were chatting and playing cards, and they could even sing KTV. Now the children are busy, and the elderly find people of the same age here. It is also a joy to have fun together or reminisce about the past. At the same time, this is also one of the commanding heights of the entire Hejiang County. When the weather is good, you can see the entire Hejiang County, and you can even see the Yangtze River and Chishui River not far away. However, it is often covered by clouds and fog. It is scattered, and the county town in the distance cannot be seen clearly, but the lingering clouds and fog are another kind of scenery. This is the “Bijialianyun” which has one of the “Hejiang Eight Views”. In fact, it can be used as a health care center for the elderly and it is inseparable from the excellent environment here. As early as the Jiaxi period of the Southern Song Dynasty, Luzhou used to build a city on the mountain, and later Hejiang County was also here. The ruins of the ancient city can still be seen today. . It has always been inhabited by people, which shows that this place has been a place with a good environment since ancient times, and the ancients always like to pray for “good weather and rain.” Therefore, it was called Anle Mountain in ancient times. Later, it was discovered that the three towering peaks were shaped like a pen holder. Since the Qing Dynasty It was gradually called “Bijiashan”. It is precisely because of the profound historical heritage of Bijia Mountain that it has become a favorite place of literati and inkmen. There are many stele forests and historical relics left in the mountains and forests, covering the entire Bijia Mountain. According to “Taiping Huanyu Ji” In the reign of Emperor Kaihuang in the Sui Dynasty, Liu Zhen “fathered and became immortal”. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, and Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty all had imperial orders or inscriptions. The descendants of the old country are still dead today, how can the mountains and autumn leaves be gods? There are also sites on the mountainside such as the Bailu Cave where Luo Wensi from Qingjieyuan reads and the incarnation tower of Master Junhui in the bamboo forest next to it, which is full of historical value. In modern times, there are a large number of famous calligraphers inscriptions by Zhu De, Zhang Aiping, Lu Dingyi, etc. in the forest of steles in Bijiashan. These inscriptions are all carved on natural rocks and you can visit them along the walking trail. The historical, cultural and artistic value of the mountains are secluded and covered with moss. It has a full sense of history and precipitation. It has a completely different feeling from the stone carvings placed in the glass display cabinet, and it is more natural. Not only that, there are many places to visit in Bijia Mountain, such as the Yuntai Temple built in the Sui Dynasty, etc. The ancient camphor with more than 600 years of existence is still preserved in front of the temple gate, which is very rare in southern Sichuan. There are also hidden inscriptions of Huang Tingjian re-engraved by the Qing people, frescoes of the Ming Dynasty, and a bronze bell of the Qing Dynasty weighing a thousand catties. It is also a place with profound historical heritage, and I said before that I don’t need tickets for Bijia Mountain. Yeah! Travel Tip: For the time being, Bijiashan can only drive by car or take a taxi! When taking a taxi, you can leave a driver’s number to facilitate going down the mountain.

On April 23, Zhang Xinyu posted a beautiful photo of Jiugongge’s long hair, with the text: “Hello everyone, I am Zhang Xinyu, Zhang Xinyu’s sister, do you love me?” Finally, she also had a shy expression.

In the photo, Zhang Xinyu took a set of beautiful photos with long straight black hair and a white shirt. Accustomed to Zhang Xinyu’s short hair style, she turned into a long hair style, and it was really difficult to adapt to it for a while.

A few days ago, Zhang Xinyu went to the hairdresser to receive haircuts. Unexpectedly, she took out the beautiful photos of Jiugongge at one time today and directly gave big benefits to fans.

Zhang Xinyu moves her hair and poses in various poses, every frame is beautiful. Zhang Xinyu has short hair in recent years. She really loved her hair before. In a variety show, she had her hair cut off and she cried out of the camera.

In these beautiful photos, Zhang Xinyu kept flirting with her hair, enjoying the look of her long hair very much. Zhang Xinyu with short hair is super shabby, Zhang Xinyu with long hair is super beautiful.

When Zhang Xinyu was taking pictures, he could still see the staff who took pictures from the other side through the window. Careful netizens could also find that there was a handsome guy in the mirror, I wonder if it was Zhang Xinyu’s husband He Jie. After the two got married, they had a daughter. The two rarely showed their affection publicly, and the daughter never appeared. A low-key lover is more able to reap the affection of netizens.

Many fans are still leaving messages in the comment area, and Zhang Xinyu still interacts with them. Zhang Xinyu called herself “my heart-beating sister, and Zhang Xinyu is my brother”, “I was originally a little girl, call me my heart-beating sister”, “but short hair is my brother” .

Let’s take a look at the look of Zhang Xinyu’s short hair. It is really rusty and beautiful, and it really suits her style. After changing to long hair, it looked like her heroism when she had short hair for a certain moment.

Zhang Xinyu also divided herself into two people. The short hair is Zhang Xinyu’s brother, and the long hair is Zhang Xindong’s younger sister, which is really good at playing.

In the last photo, the tattoo on Zhang Xinyu’s left wrist is missing. Could it be washed off? Or was it lost to P later?

When Zhang Xinyu took the long hair, a barber shop staff took a private photo, and Zhang Xinyu and his assistant had a haircut together.

When Zhang Xinyu was shampooing her hair, there was a very obvious tattoo on her left wrist. The hairdresser kept washing her hair for Zhang Xinyu, while she had been lying there and playing with her mobile phone. She raised her legs from time to time, very leisurely.

In the past, when Zhang Xinyu was participating in the show, few viewers noticed the tattoo on her left wrist. It may be that she was wearing long-sleeved clothes on the show, or it was covered with powder.

After Zhang Xinyu married He Jie, in addition to reaping a happy love and marriage, she also gained a large number of fans, and she also succeeded in regaining the popularity of passersby. She received many variety show recordings and her fame rose greatly.

Take a look at the photos Zhang Xinyu usually publishes. Basically, she wears long sleeves to cover the tattoo area. In fact, many people must think clearly before getting a tattoo, it will be very troublesome to wash it off later.

In the photo taken by Zhang Xinyu, the tattoo on his left wrist is missing. It is very likely that it was dropped by P later. But this does not affect Zhang Xinyu’s beauty, so the question is, do you like the short-haired brother Zhang Xinyu or the long-haired sister Zhang Xindong?

A table chart where domestic and foreign guests are seated alternately is necessary to avoid acquaintances sitting together in separate groups, limiting communication. Pictured is the Consulate General of Vietnam in Kunming, China holding the Celebration and Reception on the occasion of the 75th National Day of Vietnam (September 2, 1945-2 / 9/2020).

The combination of the principles of the hierarchy and the specific conditions of the placement helps determine the position of each person at a ceremony, party or external event in general.

Right before left

As usual, the most important person is placed on the right side of the landlord, then the next person on the left and so on alternating next. In some cases, if the host and the attendee for any physical reason want reverse priority, the placement will be made according to the request, while discreetly informing other guests.

Alternating domestic and foreign guests

A table chart where domestic and foreign guests are seated alternately is necessary to avoid acquaintances sitting together in separate groups, limiting communication.

On the other hand, more attention is paid to inviting domestic guests than foreign ones. This difference avoids placing foreign guests at the top of the table.

Alternating between men and women

Men and women should be arranged alternately, and at the same time, pay attention to avoid placing women at the top of the table.

Separation of couples

The rules of alternating between men and women go with the rule of separating couples at the table to avoid the couple talking to each other during the meal, but forgetting about other people or they are taking each other lightly.

According to the custom, if the dining table conditions permit, do not arrange couples to face each other, but to sit on one side.

Pay attention to the similarities

People with common interests or domestic guests undertaking a task similar to that of a foreign visitor are usually assigned to sit at the table.

Sanxingdui site, known as “one of the most significant archaeological discoveries of mankind in the 20th century”, has been sleeping for three thousand years. Six sacrificial pits have been newly discovered, from which more than 500 golden masks and bronze trees have been unearthed. The splendid ancient Shu civilization that once disappeared in the long river of history has unveiled its veil layer by layer and displayed it in front of the world.

So why did the ancient Shu people in Sanxingdui smash, burn, or even bury these artifacts? There is a saying that for worship. People in the past paid great attention to their own affairs, especially princes and nobles, who paid particular attention to funerals. Sacrifice can best reflect the ancient funeral culture.

Taking the emperors of the past dynasties as an example, their tombs must not only choose “treasure places”, but also design cemetery buildings and “xiangsheng” honor guards in front of the tombs. Often, there are luxurious and strong underground palaces with luxurious burials.

Today, I will take you to see a museum of emperor’s tombs-Hanling Garden.

Han Ling Yuan, also known as the Museum of the Tomb of the Han Guang Ling King, is located in the east of the Shugang Scenic Area of ​​Slender West Lake in Yangzhou.

If you know the history, you will know that King Guangling of the Han Dynasty refers to Liu Xu, the son of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Liu Xu was awarded the title of Guangling and was the first king of Guangling. It is a pity that Emperor Wu always guarded Liu Xu during his lifetime. After Emperor Wu died, Liu Xu prayed to the gods and “blessed and cursed” Emperor Zhao, Emperor Changyi, and Emperor Xuan, and was forced to hang himself after failure.

After Liu Xu’s death, Emperor Han Xuan did not investigate his guilt too much. Because Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty was actually Liu Xu’s grandson, he only gave him the posthumous title of King Li as a punishment, and did not deprive Liu Xu of the tomb level of King Guangling.

Liu Xu’s tomb is the Tianshan Han Tomb, originally located in Tianshan Township, Gaoyou City. The tomb of the queen and the tomb of the king of Guangling Liu Xu were unearthed one after another, and the distance between them was only 50 meters. The two tombs are juxtaposed, and they are the tombs of a married couple in the same tomb in different caves. After the excavation of the Tianshan Han tombs, the unearthed coffins and other cultural relics were relocated to Gaogang, Yangzhou for restoration and display, and the Han Tomb Garden was established, and the Queen’s Tomb was also relocated.

Let me first talk about the city of Yangzhou, it is really beautiful.

From the time when Emperor Yang of Sui built the Grand Canal to watch the Qionghua, the literati poems and songs have been written for the beauty of Yangzhou. It was also the excavation and connection of the Grand Canal in the Sui Dynasty that made Yangzhou the center of the cross of China’s east, west, south and north, and it was once very prosperous.

The long years and profound heritage have brought many precious wealth to Yangzhou.

The Slender West Lake, located in the northern suburbs of Yangzhou, is often regarded as a representative of Yangzhou. And just to the east of Slender West Lake, Hanling Garden stands tall, covering an area of ​​33,000 square meters. From a distance, the entire Hanling Garden has undulating terrain, lush forests and strong buildings. Moreover, it integrates cultural relics and gardens, reflecting the Han culture and human landscape of Yangzhou.

Walking into the Hanling Garden, the flowers bloom just right in the spring. The light pink begonia is like a cloud, dotted in front of the building. The quaint pavilions and splendid flowers set against each other and are very beautiful.

Under the blue sky, Chuisi Begonia stretched freely. Even the air seems to have a somewhat intoxicating fragrance.

The breeze blew across, blowing away the flowers, and raining petals of petals on the stone road. This is the unique tenderness in spring, enough to melt the mind of every passerby.

Li Bai said that the fireworks will go down to Yangzhou in March. He really did not deceive people.

Except for Chuisi Begonia, Magnolia also blooms very well.

Unlike the pink and shyness of Begonia, Magnolia is more like an outspoken female hero. The leaves have not yet grown, but the flowers are already in full bloom. A large, brilliant red flower that is beautifully pressed against the bald branches, with a unique and breathtaking charm.

The Hanling Garden, built on the top of the mountain, is magnificent. Looking up from the steps, it looks like an emperor’s tomb. Going up the stairs, there are Han-style buildings on both sides, with tall and open gates and rustic columns.

Walking into the main exhibition hall, the dome of more than 20 meters is particularly spectacular, and the underground tomb is a coffin. As the king of Guangling, Liu Xu still has a royal demeanor. The tomb in Hanlingyuan is very large, with an area of ​​more than 200 square meters.

In terms of the area of ​​Muzi, the Tianshan Han Tomb is 18 times larger than the Mawangdui Han Tomb in Hunan, and uses the funeral “Huangchang Ticu”, which represents the highest ritual in ancient times.

The so-called yellow bowel inscriptions refers to the special tomb system enjoyed by the emperors and princes of the Western Han Dynasty.

Inside the tomb, there are three-dimensional three-dimensional coffins and two coffins, 13 meters long from north to south, 11 meters long from east to west, and the walls are 4 meters high. The bottom of the coffin is made of nanmu that is more than 10 meters long. The most amazing thing is that the outermost coffin resembles a wall, the inner and outer layers are buckled with nanmu, and the middle is filled with cork. The cork wood is fitted with tenon and riveting, without iron nails, all embedded in a frame, integrated with the entire tomb, and closely connected. This kind of skill, even if you look at it today, is very shocking.

Because the wood faces the inside, the “head” is the “problem”; the “cou” is the “juye”, that is, the head is concentrated and introverted as the “problem”. The burial chamber of Hanling Garden shares more than 800 “Timing” roots, which are extremely precious. Compared with the ten “Yellow Intestines” tombs unearthed across the country, its large materials and strict structure are indeed shocking works, which can be called the best in the world.

And because the cork wood takes the inner core, it is named “Yellow Intestine”, which is the “Yellow Intestine Question Cou”.

According to the etiquette system of the Han Dynasty, the yellow intestine timo, along with the jade clothing, the catalpa palace, the toilet, and the outer coffin, belong to an important part of the emperor’s tomb. On the one hand, the use of “yellow bowel inscriptions” can indicate the identity and status of the owner of the tomb; on the other hand, it is also beneficial to protect the coffin from damage. I really have to admire the wisdom of predecessors.

Inside the coffin of “Yellow Intestines” are ear chambers for burial objects, which are connected and separated one by one. Each ear chamber has a door, and when a person walks in, it is as if he has entered a maze.

Although Liu Xu’s tomb was stolen and excavated on a large scale, a large number of cultural relics, such as silver, bronze, iron, and jade, were still unearthed, about a thousand pieces. Among them, a complete set of copper baths and weapons with hook shields are rare objects. It can be seen that the emperor in ancient times would not give up the opportunity to enjoy the glory and wealth even behind him.

The ladder used to rob the tomb is still in place.

You can see neatly arranged carts and horse sculptures in Hanling Garden. It is hard to imagine that after a thousand years have passed, these sculptures are still well-preserved and lifelike. It is not difficult to see the thick burial style of the Western Han Dynasty and the luxurious and luxurious court life.

There is a famous funerary in the Hanling Garden-a jade garment of gold thread.

The jade garment with golden thread was the highest standard funeral garment in the Han Dynasty, which appeared roughly in the Wenjing period of the Western Han Dynasty. Because people at that time, superstitious jade can keep the bones immortal, and jade is also a noble ritual and status symbol.

During the burial of emperors of the Han Dynasty, “golden jade garments” were used, which looked like a solid armor from the outside, connected by gold wires.

After walking through the Hanling Garden, you only feel that you are closer to Han culture, and closer to the once splendid Yangzhou City. I can’t help feeling that after seeing a lot of beautiful natural scenery, occasionally we have to take a humanities education class like this.
