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.

Komi children in traditional costumes. Photo: Komi Republic Historians estimate that the Komi have lived in the Komi Republic since the Middle Ages and were completely isolated from the world around them. During the Soviet era (1922-1991), villages of the Komi people deep in the remote forest were discovered. Along with the rapid modernization taking place in life, the Komi people have developed many programs and plans to preserve their culture. Currently, the Komi language is included in the school curriculum for the children of the Komi tribe to preserve and preserve the tribal heritage. Like the Nenets, the Komi are reindeer herders and loggers. Reindeer herding is organized by the Komi tribe into groups, each group has more than 50 people and reindeer herds about 115,000 heads. The reindeer grazing routes of the Komi people are quite long, up to 400km. Reindeer are raised for food, transportation, clothing and handicrafts (from reindeer antlers). About 20% of the reindeer in the Komi Republic are privately owned, with the rest belonging to agricultural councils. Reindeer herders have their own holiday called “Teryb kor.” “Teryb kor” in the Komi language means “quick reindeer.” The festival is usually held during the spring equinox, during which there will be a sleigh race between reindeer herders. Historically, the Komi have been matriarchal, but due to the influence of Christianity, the marriage system of the Komi is similar to that of the Russians. Komi values ​​and beliefs are evident in their oral songs and folklore. Sacred animals are always honored in Komi culture, especially sharp-toothed fish and ducks. Therefore, the bones of these animals are often used to make amulets. The Komi are also known for their musical abilities. Folk songs often refer to all aspects of life from birth to death. Their oral stories often emphasize attachment to nature, ideals of hard work and hospitality and generosity. The Komi people possess many different traditional stringed instruments, the most famous being the balalaika with its hollow triangular body design and guitar-like strings. Embroidery is quite popular in the Komi community. Komi women often have a headband embroidered with colorful threads with different geometric patterns. A Komi girl will start embroidering a headband before getting married. The headbands of the brides are embroidered with decorative beads, while the headbands of the married women are embroidered with silver and gold threads. Komi men are well versed in woodcarving. All Komi household items are made of wood such as bowls, plates, cabinets and decorations. In addition to wood carving, the Komi are also highly skilled in jewelry making, machining, stamping, and metal engraving. Crafts such as knitting are also developed by the Komi with elaborate and beautiful products. Materials for knitting include pine roots, birch bark, straw… Currently, the tourism industry is also very developed and generates additional income for the Komi. Many unspoiled eco-tourism destinations always attract many visitors such as the Pechora mountain range with taiga forests, coniferous forests, mineral springs rivers and large caves.n

Therefore, the lotus flower has become the “muse” of many artists in the works of poetry, music, and painting and is strongly applied to the fashion industry.

Strangely, the ancient emperor’s robes were forbidden to be washed with water. Usually, clothes worn for a long time without washing will have a bad smell and give a feeling of not being clean. Moreover, the long robe is the emperor’s daily wear, why is it forbidden to wash it? In the king’s palace, most of the costumes from kings to concubines use embroidery and weaving methods. The emperor’s robes are always made of the finest silk, woven into the finest fabrics. Legend has it that the clothes of the emperor and queen were also embroidered with real gold, dyed with a certain amount of gold to shine. The dragon robe is embroidered from the highest quality silk, embroidered with real gold thread, very elaborately. Photo: Sohu The minus point in this embroidery method lies in the fact that the type of silk as well as the type of embroidery thread with gold thread makes the dragon robe very special. Once touched with water, the silk thread and gold thread will be washed away and completely lose its luster, no longer as bright and brilliant as before. Therefore, long robes will never be allowed to be washed with water. Instead, they will use aromatherapy. This is the simplest way to deodorize dragon cells. However, the emperor did not always like to wear perfumed clothes. So, when they see a “slightly old” dragon robe, they will… directly leave. Normally, it takes about a year to complete a dragon robe. In the palace, there were usually more than 2,000 slaves who did nothing but weave dragon robes for the emperor all year round. Therefore, the number of emperor’s dragon robes was so large that they were thrown away after wearing, but not reused. Although it sounds quite wasteful, in fact, wearing a dragon robe is also a kind of ritual. When welcoming kings or emissaries of other countries, a king’s long robe also contributes to showing the cultural – economic – educational level of the whole country. Therefore, the investment in dragon robes is extremely worthwhile even though it is a huge amount of money.

Ms. Hoang Embroidery beside her lush plants. Every day, after completing her work at Cam Pha General Hospital, Ms. Hoang Theu returns home and spends time tending to the family’s rooftop garden. For many years, her garden was filled with lush vegetables and fruits, covering the terrace such as lettuce, cabbage, tomatoes, water spinach,…. Share with Infonet , Ms. Embroidery said, planting trees on the terrace will face more difficulties than planting in a ground garden. Because there are strong winds on the terrace, the vines such as gourds and squash are easily impacted and lead to withered leaves, so be careful and meticulous when taking care. The 40-square-meter garden is arranged neatly and neatly arranged by Mrs. Embroidery to place more than 70 pots and foam boxes, enough to grow seasonal vegetables for the family’s daily needs. “In summer, strong sunlight is also a challenge when planting trees on the terrace, trees are susceptible to water shortage, leading to wilting and death. But depending on each time, I also have to find reasonable solutions for my sky garden ”, said Ms. Theu. In the garden in addition to the usual seasonal vegetables, Ms. Embroidery loves to grow kale, including curly kale and dinosaur kale. Both types belong to the herbaceous family, growing in clusters, first discovered in the US, so they are quite suitable for the cold season in Vietnam. There is a variety of vegetables in the garden, but Ms. Embroidery grows watercress and water spinach the most. These are also easy to grow vegetables that can be harvested throughout the year. The green terrace garden is as fruitful as the mother’s farm in Quang Ninh Sharing the secret of growing vegetables, Ms. Embroidery said: “I plant with decomposed organic fertilizer and water twice a week with soybean fertilizer, garbage manure, and banana manure. I buy seeds to cultivate like normal vegetables, Kale is a cold-loving variety, so the colder the weather, the more loose soil will help the plant grow faster ”. The garden not only provides vegetables for the family, helps Ms. Embroidery satisfy her passion for gardening, but also is a place for her to have moments of relaxation and comfort after each working day.

In addition to her job as an anesthetist, Christine Na-Eun Millar has a passion for stylish 1700s clothes. Christine’s husband and children take pictures of the family in ancient fancy outfits Modern royal family “Working full-time as a doctor in the hospital, so after stressful work, I needed something to focus on my creativity and energy,” Christine said. I find out of all the methods that sewing makes me the most comfortable. The meticulousness of the needle line and the patiently arranging of things slowly helps me to remove the stresses of work. Glad to see that something you did on the computer was silk stitched. ” Christine with her son From childhood to adulthood, Christine fell in love with the classic gowns, princess dresses and pretty dresses. So she started trying again. Although she loved sewing, but unlike the others, Christine did not like hand-embroidery. So she began machine embroidery by drawing or “digitizing” the embroidery pattern on a computer, precisely specifying the location of each stitch, and in what order. The sewing-loving female doctor said she learned sewing from afterschool programs, local classrooms, and female homework classes. She made doll dresses since she was a little girl, read books, watched videos, read blogs and tried to learn how to sew herself in college. Talking about the creative process, Christine said: “I always have a list of about 50 dresses in my head that I want to make. At some point, a whim or a thought came to me that it was time to make that dress. For example, just last night, I woke up in the middle of the night and I knew I had to do something good. “I love fashion from the 1740s to the 1780s and the 1880s to the 1900s. I think there is a certain silhouette that I like, and I love the uniqueness of the outfit during these times. . Christine dresses are very sophisticated, beautiful and of course take a long time to complete. The strawberry-colored dress can take about 100 hours to make and the Sleepy Hollow black and white striped dress can take 80-100 hours. A simple dress, maybe about 40 hours. The decoration part takes the longest time. A fully embroidered royal suit usually takes about 350-450 hours to embroider, digitize, and design takes a long time. I love every little detail and try to find the best and because I see it as a hobby, very enjoyable and a great way to relax at the end of the day. ” We asked Christine what she did with the clothes she made and whether she would sell them: “I have a big attic and now I keep each outfit in a box, with all of them. I used to wear them to local events, dance in Europe and take pictures, and hopefully, once the COVID-19 translation is under control, I can start to do more than that. But for now, they are kept in storage. I sell my older outfits when they no longer fit, and I also donate some to local clubs for the beginners to sew. Patches without adequate clothing can be used. ” “I am making a women’s suit in the 1880s, disguised as Lady Victoria’s doctor.” I love the history of medicine and I really want to be able to talk about the history of medicine in makeup. As a doctor since the Victorian era. Whenever someone is injured, or has seizures or chest pain, I would be more than happy to run to and help. ” I think working as a full-time doctor and sewing during my break is a great way for me to encapsulate everything I love, both science and art. ” Let’s take a look at the beautiful dress designs of the skillful female doctor Christine Na-Eun Millar:

Lately, young people tend to live in surprisingly small apartments in Tokyo, according to Nippon. Real estate developer Spilytus offers a flat called Ququri. Each unit has its own bathroom, toilet, and kitchenette with a living area the size of three tatami mats – the standard way to measure room size in Japan, which is less than 5 square meters. Even with the addition of a loft about 6.5 square meters, these apartments offer just over 11 square meters of living space. The young people of Phu Tang tend to live in very small apartments in Tokyo because of the cheap price and convenient location. Photo: Japan Times. Over the past two years, demand for Ququri has shown no sign of slowing down. Spilytus has around 1,200 mini-apartments in Ebisu, Nakameguro, Shinjuku, Shibuya and other trendy areas of Tokyo. The rooms are always fully occupied and the company is building many new buildings every year. Breaking tradition, this unit does not require a deposit, commission for the landlord or lease renewal fees. Along with free internet access, the micro apartments become attractive to young people. New lifestyle trends The idea of ​​Ququri arose from the experience of company president Nakama Keisuke when renting a house in Tokyo. All he wants is a modern, cheap and close to work apartment, no matter the size. Ququri units currently attract more male tenants than women, at a ratio of 6: 4. Most of them are in their 20s and 30s, with about 60% being employees, and students accounting for more than 30%. Only 10% of residents are over 40 years old, some renting mini apartments right next to their homes. Rents vary by location, ranging from 50,000 to 80,000 yen / month. Today, with all types of entertainment packed into smartphones, many tenants prefer convenient locations over floor space. Tokyo micro-tenants are mostly men. Photo: Japan Times, Soranews24. A resident who has lived in the Ququri apartment for four years said that having less furniture means not having to worry about small floor space. Although very satisfied, this person also complained about some restrictions such as occasional noise from neighbors and a lack of a balcony. Another longtime resident said that when he moved in three years ago, he was surprised by the cramped living area. But because he was so busy, the apartment was basically just for sleeping, it didn’t really matter to him. Spilytus installed fiberglass for sound and heat insulation, sandwiched between two-layer walls. They are also building concrete apartment buildings, alongside the wooden buildings that have been the norm so far. The recent movement of minimalism and frugality is also the reason behind some people’s decision to live in Ququri. Many residents do not even have a television, but use smartphones or laptops for entertainment. Someone did not use the refrigerator with the statement: “The convenience store is my refrigerator.” Another said she lost 15 kg after moving in, because saving time going to work allows more time for jogging each morning. Consistent with a minimalist lifestyle Aiko (not real name) has lived in the Ququri apartment for 2 years, since moving from the Kansai region to Tokyo. She chose this place because it completely suited her own requirements of having a separate attic, bathroom and toilet, no matter the floor area. However, Aiko’s first impression upon moving in was that the apartment was indeed very small. The girl working in the tourism industry frankly talks about the pros and cons of living in such cramped conditions. She does not buy much furniture and cleverly arranges it to create a relaxing living space. However, having a fondness for collecting classic sneakers, Aiko complains about preserving them. Despite the limited kitchen space, Aiko realizes that she can use the dining table for a variety of preparation stages. The girl’s daily life is concentrated at the dining table while reading, studying, as well as eating or preparing to cook. She only uses the attic to sleep. Aiko has no television and has no intention of buying. “I want to cherish this space and my time,” she said. People living in micro-apartments often do not buy many things. Photo: Soranews 24. Aiko has no regrets about living in a micro apartment. Once in a more spacious place than before, she said she only spent money buying a lot of things. Aiko also found that large houses often have dead spaces and are difficult to properly heat in winter. “Since I moved here, I have never thought that I would like to live in a larger place,” she said. “Living conditions perfectly suited to my needs,” added Aiko. I also like white walls and floors because it is easy to choose furniture. I am very pleased to live in a place with smart design ”. According to Aiko, with a little ingenuity, anyone can create a comfortable life in a super small apartment. They are suitable for those looking for a minimalist lifestyle, she said. The current Aiko’s room is very little and tidy because it doesn’t accumulate unnecessary things. The spread of minimalism and the tendency to detach from materialism have fueled the popularity of micro apartments. According to the Nippon, This trend will continue to develop.

Apartments for rent in Ho Chi Minh City are subject to tax In the field of housing, land and real estate transfer, Ho Chi Minh City Tax Department proposes to manage tax collection in apartment rental activities in apartments and buildings. STRENGTHENING MONITORING AND COMBATING TAX LOSS Subjects proposed to collect tax are individuals and organizations that lease apartments, houses, and business premises in apartment buildings; individuals and organizations directly trading in and providing services in the apartment building; individuals and organizations leasing offices. The Ho Chi Minh City Tax Department proposes to pilot the tax collection above in some apartments and buildings in District 11 such as Res 11 Apartment, located at 205 Lac Long Quan, Ward 3; Thuan Viet commercial residential area at 319 Ly Thuong Kiet, ward 15; Bao Gia building, 184 Le Dai Hanh, ward 15; apartment building 70 Lu Gia, 70 Lu Gia, ward 15; Khai Hoan building, 624 Lac Long Quan, ward 5. This unit also proposes measures to prevent loss through management of leasing, collection of land use fees, registration fees, personal income tax in land management activities and real estate business. If approved, the City Tax Department will work with the apartment management board to propose a list of apartment rental households, direct business households in the apartment area; At the same time, coordinate with the local police in reviewing the list of newspapers of temporary residence, temporary absence, list with permanent residence registration, through the Management Board of the apartment building to propagate to owners of apartments with changes about Declaration of temporary residence, self-declaration of tax, and payment of taxes for house and apartment rental is also done; propagating individuals and organizations providing office leasing services to declare and pay property rental tax. Tax authorities should study the appropriate tax rates to encourage renters to file taxes. To do the above work, the tax authority will guide households and individuals that rent out houses, apartments or offices to prepare tax registration and tax declaration documents; instructions on how to electronically submit tax returns and declarations; guide to tax non-agricultural land use; answer questions of taxpayers. In addition, the tax authority will also mobilize individuals, rental businesses and office rentals to provide information on the lease to have a basis for determining and comparing the actual rental price and the declared price. Tax payment of apartments, individuals for rent houses, apartments, office rentals. Thereby, basing on and comparing tax declaration data for real estate transactions in the same area, area, size, and area respectively to take grounds to force taxpayers to declare tax with the correct value. actual assignment. In addition, the Ho Chi Minh City Tax Department requested the authorities to review the cases of land lease in order to have the correct collection regime. In cases where there is a decision on land allocation from the People’s Committee of Ho Chi Minh City but the financial obligations have not been determined, the Department of Natural Resources and Environment quickly determines the financial obligations to collect land use fees. When there is a notice of implementing financial obligations from the Ho Chi Minh City Tax Department but the enterprise has not paid the land use fee, it will be reported to the People’s Committee of Ho Chi Minh City for handling measures. RECOMMENDATIONS TO REVIEW TAX PAYMENTS Most experts in the real estate sector say that: The profit for renting apartments is not high, if based on the total value of investment in this segment. In particular, during the current epidemic outbreak, the rental rates of serviced apartments are low, increasing pressure on homeowners. Mr. Hoa Binh has an apartment for rent in District 10, Ho Chi Minh City that is quite frustrated by this proposal. He said: “My wife and I buy an apartment and have to borrow money from the bank, pay both principal and interest more than 12 million dong each month, while the apartment for rent is only 15 million dong, so only 13.5 million dong / month. If the tax authority calculates 10%, ie the tax rate of 16.2 million, it is almost only enough to repay bank loans interest. The threshold for tax calculation of 100 million VND / year is considered unreasonable, leading to many consequences, they have to circumvent the law to declare rent at much lower prices, change to the form of capital contribution for house loans … legal trouble when a dispute occurs. “Not to mention, there are months when customers pay their houses, have to find new tenants and lose commissions from 50% -100% / month, then this type of apartment investment becomes a loss. In addition, for the money to repair the house when it is damaged or when the apartment is profitable, I have already paid transfer tax. Therefore, the tax authority should study the reasonable tax rate to encourage people who have rental houses to declare tax, “Mr. Hoa Binh said. Many experts also suggested: Currently, the family allowances have been raised to 11 million VND / month (equivalent to 132 million VND / year), but the threshold for calculating tax of 100 million VND / year is not reasonable. That leads to many consequences, they have to circumvent the law to declare rent at much lower prices, switch to the form of capital contribution for home loans … causing many legal troubles when disputes occur. In particular, there are many people who cannot afford the economy, so they have to rent an apartment and rent it out to a cheaper place to live, the balance is used to offset the bank interest … At an apartment for rent in Gold View District 4 Ho Chi Minh City, Mr. Nguyen Minh Quang, a software engineer, worries: the tightening of apartment rental tax as today is very likely, the landlord will increase more money. renting and the pressure of husband and wife is even greater. Especially in Covid’s present occasion, the family’s income has decreased by 25%.

For Sonia Philipse, the owner of a restaurant in Amsterdam, the absence of crowds makes her city more peaceful and beautiful than ever before. “At this point, we are looking forward to the return of tourists. But I think there was a time when people were really happy that the city was so quiet, ”Philipse said. Amsterdam’s red light district before and after the outbreak of Covid-19. Over the years, Amsterdam has tried to reconcile becoming a vibrant international hub without affecting residents’ lives and not ignoring the inherent freedom and popularity. Now, with the number of tourists still meager, the leaders of Amsterdam are trying to put new restrictions on three important issues: short-term renting, sex tourism and selling marijuana to traveler. This is all to ensure that the “ingrained” problems stemming from tourism no longer arise when tourists return. The above measures make the Netherlands one of the pioneering countries in Europe to adopt a practical approach to tourism management. However, even as many locals enjoy the peaceful Amsterdam atmosphere, some disagree with the city’s strategies. Need to change Complaints from the people of Amsterdam started to rise up in 2013, when tourism fully recovered from the 2008 financial crisis. Locals lament that tourists are noisy and disruptive in the city center, disrespecting prostitutes, short-term renting a house that drives up property prices and controlling some of the most beautiful, historic areas of the city. city. “The tourist economy does more damage to locals than adds value,” said Geerte Udo, director of Amsterdam & Partners, a nonprofit that manages city tourism. We need to change everything in the city center if we want to bring balance to life, employment and renewal. The boats were deserted in central Amsterdam on a recent evening. Prior to the pandemic, city leaders came up with a number of measures to try to minimize problems stemming from tourism, including a ban on guided tours to Red Light Street, banning visitors New hotels in the city center, increased tourism taxes, banned new shops serving tourists. Since 2014, Amsterdam has stopped promoting itself as a destination in new overseas markets. Instead, the city’s marketing department guided and managed all visitors to the city. However, even with those measures, tourism continues to grow. In 2019, articles criticized the surge in tourist arrivals in Amsterdam, Venice and Barcelona as prime examples of over-tourism in Europe. Sex, cannabis and “monoculture” Since the outbreak of the pandemic, leaders of Amsterdam, led by mayor Femke Halsema, have continued to push for tourism regulation, focusing on Red Light Street – the ancient area of ​​central Amsterdam and the magnet attracts tourists. On a typical Saturday night before, Red Light Street blows young men from bar to bar, be it entering sex shops, cafes or staring at the flower girl is showing off her figure by the window. In a letter to the city council in July 2019, Mayor Femke Halsema said: “The public spaces dominated by businesses are mostly rape, drugs and alcohol. The number of tourists is constantly increasing, depraved behavior, shrinking retail structure, rising property prices, commercialization of public spaces and crime control all require measures ” . In addition, Ms. Halsema proposed four scenarios for the future of sex work in Red Light Street (prostitution is legal and regulated in the Netherlands). One is the transfer of all sex workers to “prostitution hotels” elsewhere in the city. However, the proposal was not fully approved. An employee stood outside a cafe on the Red Light Street. Another interesting proposal from the mayor’s office would prevent visitors from buying marijuana at cafes in Amsterdam, which are concentrated in Red Light Street. Last summer, in the face of complaints, the city issued a complete ban on all short-term rental services in three downtown districts, including the Red Light Street. Victor Everhardt, the deputy mayor of Amsterdam, said the measures are in line with the practical Dutch approach to solving the problems. However, some of the proposed measures are also controversial. Irina, a spokesman for PROUD, a coalition of about 300 prostitutes across the Netherlands, said the idea of ​​moving prostitutes away from Red Light Street was widely opposed. “The problem is not with prostitutes. We have lived in one area for centuries. The problem is that the number of tourists coming to Amsterdam is booming. They come for many reasons, ”she said. Irina added that instead of focusing on prostitutes, the government should have more police on the streets, while at the same time increasing enforcement of current regulations against urination, drunkenness and public disorder. plus. “Prostitutes are being seen as scapegoats, along with cafes, for causing problems that they never did,” she said. Royal Palace on March 26. The square, which is bustling with tourists, has been deserted since the pandemic broke out. Similarly, the mayor’s recent proposal to ban cafes in Amsterdam from selling cannabis to tourists was also opposed. Historically, tourists and locals have frequented the city’s 167 licensed cafes to relax, socialize, play board games and smoke marijuana – classified for fish use. people in the Netherlands. Joachim Helms, cafe owner and spokesperson for the Association of Dutch Cannabis Retailers, said the proposed ban would force visitors to buy cannabis on the street. That could cause them to be taken advantage of, as well as damage the reputation of Amsterdam. Roy Van Kempen (31 years old), marketing director living in Amsterdam since 2008, said: “Paris has the Eiffel Tower. We have a Red Light District. I really didn’t want any disturbance in the city, ”he said. Irina, Helms, Van Kempen and many others in Amsterdam agree that the city center has a big problem: A “monoculture” tourism has taken root and residents are being pushed out. Businesses and services that used to serve locals (high-end bakeries, butcher shops …) have been replaced by jewelry shops, ice cream parlors and take-away waffles … mainly aimed at tourists. Meanwhile, rising housing prices (partly due to the development of Airbnb and other rental platforms) have left many locals unable to afford to stay in the city center. “This monoculture issue has come to the fore in the past year,” said Geerte Udo, adding that she was influenced by the feeling of desolation in the city center during the pandemic. , especially compared to other areas of Amsterdam. “This really opened my eyes. There are not enough people living and working in the city center to regain the liveliness when tourists are gone, ”said Udo.

From Lucretia Gather, SWR “One two Three …!” The three-year-old Elian jumps again and again from the edge of the pool into his mother’s arms, turns a short lap in the water with his armbands and gets out again, ready for the next jump. His parents and a family friend rented a swimming school “Flip” in Meisenheim, Rhineland-Palatinate, and a whole indoor pool for themselves for two hours. “It’s really great,” says Elian’s mother Nina Köberlein-Bareiß, “not exactly cheap, but we’ll just take a break.” The water fun costs 75 euros per hour.

Pumps have to keep running

The swimming pool is operated by Stefan Nerbas, and in addition to the one in Meisenheim, he also runs a second one in Bad Kreuznach. Both are owned by the Kreuznach Diakonie Foundation. The pools have been empty for months, only water therapy for people with disabilities is still offered here from time to time. But the fixed costs remain. Nerbas calculates that the maintenance of a bathroom alone costs 10,000 euros per month. The water must be kept clean, the technology must continue to run. “I can’t just switch off the pumps,” says Nerbas.

Grant business swimming pool

According to the “Bäderatlas” published by the German Society for Bathing in Germany, there are around 9,000 swimming pools and public bathing areas. The majority of them, around 6,000, are run by municipalities. Sports economist Lutz Thieme from the Koblenz University of Applied Sciences is leading a federally funded research project that is collecting reliable data on pools in Germany for the first time. Almost every bathroom that is operated privately is dependent on municipal subsidies, according to the expert. “There are perhaps a handful of private investors in Germany who manage to operate a bathroom at break even,” says Thieme. Sooner or later, the high maintenance costs will bring every investor to their knees, and subsidies from cities or municipalities will be necessary. Thieme fears that the Corona crisis will further worsen the situation of bathroom operators in Germany. Because if the financial strength of the municipalities decreases, they are forced to make savings. Since the field of sport is not one of their compulsory tasks, the red pencil is often applied precisely there, says the sports economist. “And what’s most expensive in sports? The swimming pools.”

Many closings feared

Christian Mankel from the German Society for Bathing also predicts that many pools that are dependent on municipal subsidies could get into trouble. He fears that the direct and indirect consequences of the corona pandemic could lead to a large number of pool closures in the coming years. Mankel calls for an open perspective and would also like the municipalities to acknowledge that baths are an indispensable part of public services and that they are financed.

Many bankruptcies among sauna operators

Sauna operators are also suffering from the corona pandemic. The managing director of the German Sauna Association, Martin Niederstein, says: “We fear that a large number of the smaller, private sauna businesses will have to close permanently.” 45 percent of public sauna baths in Germany are run by the municipality, more than half are privately owned. The challenges in this sector are similar to those in the baths: Due to the personnel and energy-intensive cost structure, it is particularly difficult to run an economically successful sauna business without municipal subsidies. Well-known operators should have already closed due to insolvency. The second lockdown, which has lasted since November 2nd, falls in the middle of the main sauna season. Despite government economic aid, the financial reserves of many saunas have been exhausted. If they are allowed to reopen, it will be difficult to compensate for the loss of income in the summer. The bathing and sauna landscape in Germany will probably be thinned out after the Corona crisis. There are enough people willing to swim: The swimming pool rental in Meisenheim is well received. Operator Nerbas says he was surprised by the huge interest himself. “We put the call on the Internet and within 24 hours the whole of April was booked out.”

Curiously, the ancient emperor’s robes were forbidden to wash with water. Often times, clothes worn long without washing will have a bad smell and leave a feeling of uncleanness. Furthermore, dragon robes are the clothes the emperor wears every day, why ban washing? In the king’s palace, most of the costumes from kings to concubines used embroidery and weaving methods. The emperor’s camellia always used the finest silk, weaving the finest fabric. Legend has it that the clothes of the emperor and the queen are also used with real gold embroidery thread, dyed with a certain amount of gold to shine splendidly. Dragon plan is embroidered from the highest quality silk, embroidered only with real gold thread, extremely sophisticated. Photo: Sohu The minus point in this embroidery method lies in the type of silk as well as the type of thread embroidered with gold thread weaved so that the dragon is very special. Once touching the water, the silk thread and the golden thread will be washed away and completely lost their luster, no longer as bright and brilliant as before. Therefore, uncoated tunic will never be allowed to wash with water. Instead, they will use aromatherapy. This is the simplest way to deodorize the camellia. However, the emperor did not always like to wear aromatherapy. Therefore, when they see a “slightly old” dragonfly, they will… walk away directly. Usually, it takes about a year to complete a dragon plan. In the palace there are often more than 2,000 slaves who do nothing but weave dragonflies all year round for the emperor. So, The emperor’s number of dragonflies was so great that it would be worn off immediately, but not reused. Although it sounds quite wasteful, in reality, wearing a dragon dress is also a kind of ritual. When receiving kings or envoys from other countries, a king’s dragonfly also contributes to the cultural – economic – educational level of the entire country. Therefore, the investment in dragon cells is extremely worthy even though it is a very huge amount of money.

The Berlin rent cap is invalid after a decision by the Federal Constitutional Court. The law was void, it said in the decision of the judges. The rent cap, which came into force more than a year ago, violates the Basic Law. Since the federal government had already decided on the rent brake in 2015, the legislative power lies exclusively with it, it said in the decision. There is therefore no room for the countries’ own laws. So the lawsuit by 284 members of the Bundestag of the Union and the FDP in Karlsruhe was successful. Two Berlin civil courts had also asked Karlsruhe for clarification.

1.5 million apartment rents frozen

The Berlin rent cap was unique in Germany; the law passed by the red-red-green coalition was initially limited to 2025. On February 23, 2020, the existing rents for 1.5 million apartments in the capital were frozen – at the level of June 2019. This affects nine out of ten rental apartments. The Berlin Senate Department for Urban Development and Housing had assumed before the decision that tenants would have to pay the actual, higher rent again if the rent cap was tipped. In the event that this applies retrospectively, she had already recommended tenants to put the money saved for the time being. Under certain circumstances, the difference has to be paid for the entire contract period.

Seehofer: Rent cover was the wrong way to go

Federal Building Minister Horst Seehofer welcomed the judgment of the Federal Constitutional Court. “The rent cap is now history. That is good, because it was also the wrong way to go in terms of building policy,” said the CSU politician. “It created uncertainty in the housing markets, slowed down investments and not created a single new apartment.” To counter the housing shortage, there is only one motto: “build, build, build!” Last year, 300,000 new apartments were built, “more than in 20 years”. Building “is and will remain the best protection for tenants,” says Seehofer. This means that the past year is above the longer-term trend. However, the federal government will fail to achieve its goal of creating 1.5 million new apartments by the federal election. About 1.2 million apartments are expected to be finished.

Real estate industry welcomes decision

The FDP, which had gone to the Federal Constitutional Court against the rent cap, was pleased with the judges’ decision. “The fact that the rent cap is void is good news. Because such interventions in the market are merely combating symptoms,” said FDP parliamentary group vice Michael Theurer after the decision. The building and housing policy spokesman for the FDP parliamentary group, Daniel Föst, added: “The Berlin Senate, against their better judgment, abused the tenants for an ideological experiment, and that was completely unsuccessful.” The real estate industry also welcomed the Karlsruhe decision. “Finally there is legal certainty,” said the chairman of the Eastern Region of the Central Real Estate Committee (ZIA), Stefanie Frensch, of the dpa news agency. What many appraisers, associations and legal experts have repeatedly warned has now been confirmed by the highest court: “The state of Berlin has no legislative competence for a rent cap.” The supply of rental apartments has plummeted and it has rarely been so difficult to find an apartment in Berlin.

Tenants’ Association: “A wake-up call to the federal legislature”

It is particularly bad that the lid did not ensure cheap rents for low-income tenants, said Frensch. Wealthy tenants in good Berlin locations in particular would have had to pay less. “For the other cases, a hardship case is now required,” she said. In the long term, there must now be impulses to accelerate planning and construction so that the rental markets in the metropolises and university towns can relax over the long term. Following the decision of the constitutional judges, the German Tenants’ Association calls on the federal government to finally act. The decision is bitter, “but it is also a loud wake-up call to the federal legislature to finally act and stop the rent explosion in many German cities,” said the President of the German Tenants’ Association, Lukas Siebenkotten.

Vonovia waives back payments

The real estate company Vonovia has now announced that it will forego additional rent payments in the capital. “The decision of the Federal Constitutional Court is logical, and the rent cap was not suitable to solve the problems on the Berlin housing market,” said Vonovia boss Rolf Buch. “We have decided not to ask for any rents that we would now be legally entitled to based on the decision,” he said. The tenants should “not suffer any financial disadvantages as a result of political decisions made”. Vonovia is therefore foregoing additional rent claims amounting to around ten million euros.

Fine of up to 500,000 euros

In order to curb the price increase on the Berlin housing market, the Senate had decided on the rent cap. From November 2020, rents that are more than 20 percent above the upper limit for the apartment had to be reduced by law. Violations could result in a fine of up to 500,000 euros. The rent cap did not apply to new apartments that were finished since 2014. The review by the Federal Constitutional Court was initiated by more than 280 members of the Bundestag from the FDP and the Union, with a joint legal review application. The Berlin regional court and a district court, where landlords have sued, also considered the regulations to be unconstitutional and switched Karlsruhe on.

Demonstration in Berlin-Neukölln

After the end of the Berlin rent cap, several thousand people demonstrated in the federal capital for a nationwide rent freeze. They criticized the decision of the highest German court and demanded more political action against the “rent madness”. The demonstrators first gathered at Hermannplatz in Neukölln and then started an elevator that should lead to Kottbusser Tor in Kreuzberg. The Berlin tenants’ association had called for the protest. The police spoke of a number of participants “in the mid four-digit range”, the organizers of thousands of demonstrators. File number: 2 BvF 1/20 and others

The Czech news agency (ČTK) reported that Germany would end the measures border control long-term with the Czech Republic, which has been applied since February 14, due to serious epidemics.

Ambassador of the Czech Republic to Germany Tomáš Kafka said the representative of the German Ministry of Interior informed the Czech diplomatic mission of the decision.

Ambassador Kafka welcomed this decision by the German side, saying that this was not only a step towards a return to normal in Czech-German relations, but also an encouragement in a joint effort to control COVID-19 translation.

German Interior Ministry spokesman Steve Alter said the country was transitioning from a permanent border control regime to random inspection after it found that the disease situation in the Czech Republic had improved significantly. Accordingly, the standing border force will finish the mission at 0:00 on April 15.

However, Mr. Alter stressed that Germany will continue to implement quarantine measures through intensive random inspection in the area. German-Czech border.

Germany has resumed regular border controls with the Czech Republic and the Austrian state of Tyrol since February 14 to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

At that time, Germany had identified both of these regions with a high infection rate variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

Germany then stopped long-term border control with the state of Tyrol since the end of March, but has extended this measure to the Czech Republic so far.

On April 14, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said it would extend a series of measures to protect tenants – a group of people believed to be vulnerable, in the context of the COVID epidemic- 19 has a heavy impact on the economy.

These measures will be extended for another Three months.

Under current regulations, tenants will not have a rent increase or termination and may apply for a temporary or partial rent delay if the owner is more than 10. real estate unit, having more than 1,500 square meters of real estate, or being a public institution. They can also renew the lease for an additional six months under the same conditions.

In place since the early days of the epidemic crisis in March 2020, the measures above have been repeatedly extended and will expire on May 9, when the national emergency ends.

During the last year against the COVID-19 pandemic, hundreds of thousands of people in Spain lost their jobs, prompting the government to expand social protection measures.

In Ukraine, the capital Kiev will also extend the blockade until April 30, after the number of deaths and new infections by day continues to increase despite the strict restrictions imposed in March. by.

According to Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko, the city government has no other choice because without such a decision the health system will not be able to accommodate the increasing number of patients, thereby increasing the number of patients. deaths caused by COVID-19.

Previously, to control the spread of the epidemic, Kiev restricted public transport services, closed schools, theaters and shopping centers, and banned spectators from coming to monitor events. sports events. Restaurants and cafes are only allowed to operate in the form of door-to-door delivery and recommend all government employees. work from home.

However, despite the imposition of strict restrictions, the number of new infections in Kiev is still higher than in other regions, with approximately 1,500 new infections and more than 40 deaths due to COVID-19 everyday.

Across the country, Ukraine has a total of 1.9 million cases, of which 38,225 have died since the epidemic broke out in the country last year.
