Therefore, in order to control plastic waste, Ho Chi Minh City has launched a plan to strengthen the management, reuse, recycling, treatment and reduction of plastic waste in HCMC. Prioritize recycling of plastic waste One of the solutions to reduce plastic waste is to organize the classification, collection, reuse, recycling and treatment of plastic waste. Accordingly, Ho Chi Minh City will promote the classification of domestic solid waste at source in accordance with the direction and direction of the City People’s Committee. It also encourages the separation of waste at source for plastic waste separately from other types of waste. Thereby, helping to make reuse and recycling activities more profitable and economic. HCMC will promote the separation of domestic solid waste at source. Photo: CN In addition, Ho Chi Minh City encourages the classification of plastic waste mixed in domestic solid waste at transfer stations, or domestic solid waste treatment plants and prioritizes transferring plastic waste to recycling units. use, recycle function. In case plastic waste is no longer able to be reused or recycled, other appropriate and effective treatment solutions should be implemented. Ho Chi Minh City will also organize the implementation of technical solutions or movements and campaigns to collect solid waste, plastic waste in public places, vacant land, rivers, canals, canals… in the area. . In addition, mechanisms and policies will be developed to encourage, give incentives and support to organizations and individuals that collect, reuse and recycle plastic waste and for production facilities. recycled, environmentally friendly products to replace difficult-to-biodegrade plastic packaging and disposable plastic products, etc. Minimize the use of non-biodegradable packaging The habit of using single-use plastic and nylon bags may bring convenience to people, but it is a big polluter for the environment.

Director of the Service of Military-Technical Cooperation of the Russian Federation Alexander Mikheev announced the above information in a press conference held periodically and immediately attracted deep attention from the press. State-owned arms import and export corporation Rosoboronexport did not specify a timeframe for the new helicopter to receive an export license, only revealing that potential customers are looking forward to owning the Ka-52M within a short period of time. earliest time. It is expected that the Ka-52M attack helicopter along with other Russian aircraft models will be presented at the HeliRussia 2021 exhibition, and a preliminary agreement is expected to be signed for the delivery of the Ka-52M. The construction of a new version of the Ka-52 “Crocodile” helicopter became known in 2018, it was developed based on experience in combat conditions in Syria, as well as suggestions from the pilot and technical team. art joined the battle. Major changes on the Ka-52M include that the OES-52 device developed by NPK SPP will be a new electro-optical aiming system, the Ka-52 helicopters are now using the GOES-451 type from Yekaterinburg’s UOMZ. . The OES-52 system is “simulated” after the Safran Strix targeting sensor fitted to the European Eurocopter EC665 Tiger attack helicopter, which is much higher rated than the GOES-451. OES-52 performs the same functions as GOES-451, it has 5 sensors: thermal imaging camera, TV camera, laser rangefinder, laser beam projection for anti-tank missiles, as well as laser tracking . Another advantage of OES-51 is that it weighs only 177 kg compared to 220 kg of GOES-451. In addition, the new generation V006 Rezets active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar developed by St Petersburg-based Zaslon will be integrated into the modernized Ka-52M armed helicopter. A test version of the V006 Rezets radar installed in a Ka-52K was demonstrated at the MAKS Aerospace Show in Zhukovsky near Moscow in 2019. According to the manufacturer, the Rezets radar has a fixed AESA (900 x 300) mm antenna area with 640 transceiver elements, it can detect a group of tanks from 45 km, a railway bridge 100 km away or destroyers from 150 km. In air-to-air mode, the V006 Rezets radar can detect fighter aircraft with a radar reflection area of ​​3 m2 from a distance of up to 50 km and helicopters flying from 20 km. The Rezets radar weighs 130 kg, 10 kg less than the current FH01 produced by Phazotron-NIIR of Moscow, which is cooled by air through a special device mounted on the nose of the helicopter. The armament of the Ka-52 is merged with another attack helicopter, the Mi-28NM, which consists of the Hermes-A long-range missile, the Vikhr-M guided anti-tank missile, as well as the Izdeliye 305 – a cruise missile. program for aircraft with a range of up to 100 km. Russia is very hopeful that after the Ka-52M “lists”, they can resume the supply contract to Egypt, this North African country suspended the deal and changed to buy the US AH-64D Longbow after found the Ka-52 Alligator version unsuitable as soon as it was received in small quantities.

DHD manages and operates 4 hydropower plants (Da Nhim, Song Pha, Ham Thuan, Da Mi) are scattered in Ninh Thuan and Binh Thuan provinces, but the company’s headquarters is in Lam Dong province. Therefore, the management and operation of production and business meet certain difficulties and limitations. In 2012, DHD has researched and built OCC and put it into operation since December 2013 (for the Ham Thuan – Da Mi factory cluster) and from March 2014 for the Da Nhim hydropower plant cluster. – Song Pha. Each operation shift of DHD now only needs 2-3 people After more than 7 years of official operation, up to now, OCC has been operating stably, The transmission system , communication systems, data collection systems all operate reliably and effectively, without problems caused by subjective matters. All operations performed at OCC are timely and accurate as required by the National Dispatch and Regional Dispatch. Putting the OCC into operation has basically met the requirements of the Company’s development strategy in the centralized management model, promoting the efficiency of management and operation of electricity production. OCC has synthesized and provided fully and promptly information about plant equipment, hydrological situation in reservoir basins and related data for analysis and evaluation of production results. Export – trade, thereby setting up a reasonable price offer for power plants, effectively participating in the competitive power generation market. In addition, thanks to OCC, the Company has saved telecommunications channel rental costs by reducing transmission channels from 20 channels to only 5 channels. Mr. Do Minh Loc – Deputy General Director of DHD, said that with OCC, each shift on duty of the Company only needs to arrange the Chief of the Center’s operation shift and 01 operator, to command and operate factories . Currently, the Company continues to maintain the operation shift at the factories, each on-site operation shift is arranged from 2 to 3 people / 1 shift, monitoring, support, supervision and manipulation. devices in place. The arrangement and arrangement to increase the operating force in place will continue to be considered and adjusted in the coming time to suit the actual requirements. Will replicate the model According to leaders of DHD, the most difficult in building models is the human factor. To commissioning OCC system in December 2013, the Company cooperated with the National Load Dispatch Center (A0), organized training courses and accredited 5 heads of operation shift at company level to be eligible for command. operation and troubleshooting of power plants Da Nhim – Song Pha and Ham Thuan – Da Mi at OCC. At the same time, the procedure for operation and handling of equipment problems has been issued at Da Nhim, Song Pha, Ham Thuan, Da Mi factories and OCC equipment systems. The Company also cooperated with A0 to develop and issue the operational coordination process between A0 and the Company, in which agreed on the regulation of dispatching, mobilizing and coordinating operation, and troubleshooting of equipment at the power plants in the Company. Up to now, DHD’s human resources have been able to ensure efficient and stable operation of the OCC remote control system. With the advantages of existing human resources, in the coming time, the Company will continue to increase the application of digital transformation with advanced scientific and technological achievements into technical management, maintenance, and maintenance. equipment level. At the same time, will completely automate Song Pha Hydropower Plant; building unmanned model at Da Mi Solar Power Plant.

Using this algorithm, Chia mining does not consume too much power because only the hard drive is free. Chia’s network has now mobilized more than 2,700 PiB (1 PiB = 1125.9 TB) of available hard drive space. Very quickly, Chia caught the attention of Amazon and launched a virtual money mining service in the cloud exclusively for the China region. The Amazon website also shows how to set up a cloud service to create a Split wallet, create a space, and how to mine in just 5 minutes. Dong Chia is being traded on a number of small exchanges with a large fluctuation range. Dong Chia started the validation process and allowed mining on March 19, a process known as the mainnet. At that time, Chinese miners flocked to e-commerce sites to buy hard drives and sold these items out of stock, mainly in the super-hard drive segment of 10 TB or more. And after about two months, Chia was officially listed on May 4 last with the virtual currency code XCH, starting price 1,700 USD. But immediately this currency must witness selling momentum causing it to drop in value to only $ 700 before recovering around $ 900 mark. Over time, with the Bitcoin fever, new virtual currencies are constantly appearing and being pumped, making it worth fluctuating up and down. The volatility of the virtual currency market is part of the reason that many countries are afraid of Bitcoin in general and virtual currencies in particular. Phuong Nguyen (According to CoinDesk)

By A. Meyer-Fünffinger, J. Schuster, A. Wetter and M. Zierer, BR Four million doses of the Covid-19 vaccine from AstraZeneca: The regional government of Apulia apparently wanted to buy this amount – enough to be able to administer one dose of vaccine to the entire population of the southern Italian region. This is what it says in a letter that the head of the Apulian crisis team sent to AstraZeneca at the end of January. It suits that Bavarian Broadcasting and its international research partners IrpiMedia in Italy and Follow the Money in the Netherlands in front. Apparently, a direct deal between a regional government and AstraZeneca was planned, threaded through private brokers and handled through a complex network of companies. The deal does not go through, and in the meantime the prosecutor in Perugia has started investigations into suspected fraud.

Spahn speaks of a gold rush mood

After joint research by the BR With the international research partners, dealers across Europe offer vaccines to authorities and governments – bypassing central procurement via the EU Commission: in the Netherlands, for example, in Estonia or in Denmark. Vaccines are offered by AstraZeneca and BioNTech, including the Russian vaccine Sputnik V, which has not yet been approved in the EU.

Health Minister Spahn sees a “gold rush mood” among the providers. Image: dpa The German Ministry of Health is also repeatedly offered vaccines from different manufacturers, Federal Health Minister Jens Spahn confirmed in Berlin last week: “It’s a bit like in this pandemic with different products over and over again: it creates a gold rush atmosphere.” The pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca writes down BR-Inquiry that there is currently no supply, sale or distribution of the vaccine by the private sector. If someone offers private vaccines, it is “likely to be counterfeit,” said a spokeswoman.

Braid around a Stuttgart businessman

Behind the planned deal in Apulia is a complicated network of companies involved: A central figure is apparently a doctor from Stuttgart. He was the managing director of a Swiss company owned by his daughter. He does not make deals himself, but sees himself as an intermediary between pharmaceutical companies and governments, he tells reporters from BR Research / BR Data on the phone. A detailed written request remains unanswered. From an invoice that the BR is available, it appears that the cans should apparently be obtained through a dealer in the United States. Alleged origin of the vaccine: the United Kingdom. Also involved: two Hungarian “partner companies” of the Stuttgart businessman – one of them a furniture manufacturer. When asked, they do not know anything about vaccines for the Apulia region.

European anti-fraud agency investigated

The FDP European parliamentarian Andreas Glück speaks of “black sheep” on the vaccine market: “We definitely cannot accept that. The best way to protect ourselves from this is to work together at European level. Presumably everything did not go smoothly with the vaccine procurement at European level, we have to improve. ” The subject is known to the EU Commission. On request, a spokesman referred to the investigation by the European anti-fraud authority OLAF:

These offers come in many different forms. For example, the scammers offer to sell large quantities of vaccines, deliver a sample to collect the first advance payment, and then disappear with the money. They can supply batches of counterfeit vaccines. Or they pose as a representative of a legitimate company and claim they have or have access to vaccines. All of these claims have one thing in common: they are false. The EU Commission therefore calls on local authorities to be very careful if they receive offers of this kind.

Doubtful offers also in Germany

Some federal states have also received offers for vaccines, for example Schleswig-Holstein. The local Ministry of Health writes on request that at the end of March an individual contacted the country by email and pretended to be able to establish contact with a wholesaler. It was about five million doses of the BioNTech vaccine. No indication of the price. The Mainz vaccine manufacturer BioNTech agrees BR with that his vaccine is sold exclusively to governments and government-like organizations such as the European Commission. “BioNTech has no other sales channels,” writes the company. The Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Health followed up BR-Information an offer on the Russian vaccine Sputnik V. “Please send us a formal offer stating an initial purchase quantity of 1 million and the price offer,” wrote a company from Singen, which specializes in the import of medical cannabis from the Netherlands.

Investigations in Baden-Württemberg

In Stuttgart, the public prosecutor’s office is now investigating “after a private person allegedly appeared to a ministry as (alleged) mediator of vaccines,” as it was called upon request. The examination of the facts continues. Such offers were also available in Hesse, North Rhine-Westphalia and Bremen. All federal states have said they have rejected it. The Association of Research-Based Pharmaceutical Companies emphasizes BR-Inquiry that caution should always be exercised with corona vaccines “when ‘intermediaries’ contact government agencies”. The Federal Association of Pharmaceutical Wholesalers goes one step further and demands that the distribution channel of vaccines for delivery from the manufacturer via pharmaceutical wholesalers and pharmacies to medical practices must be laid down. All alternative distribution channels and structures would run the risk of undermining the legal supply chain, jeopardizing the safety of the vaccines and thus the safety of the population to be vaccinated.
