“O lala!” – Emmanuel Macron is visibly impressed by the sight: Gustave Eiffel’s gray-blue iron staircase spanning five floors with 16,000 gold leaves has been originally restored. Many of the 1700 employees of the department store stand on the landing and applaud the president. He accepted Bernard Arnault’s invitation. The billionaire and boss of the luxury goods company LVMH owns the Samaritaine. He renovated the building complex for 750 million euros and is now attracting customers: “Perhaps you can also shop on the Internet. But there you can’t touch the products, you can’t see them, and you can’t have lunch in such a wonderful atmosphere.”

A water pump as namesake

In the Samaritaine, this is most spectacularly done in the “Voyage” restaurant under the historic glass dome, surrounded by a 115-meter-long peacock frieze in Art Nouveau style. But actually shopping is hip here, emphasizes Head of Marketing Nathalie Montaldier: “You are on the fourth floor – all women’s shoes, from sneakers to luxury. The special thing: when you try them on you have a fantastic view of the Gothic cathedral Saint-Germain-L’Auxerrois . A unique experience.” In 1870 Ernest Cognacq founded the Samaritaine. Before that he had sold fabrics on the bridge next door – the famous Pont Neuf -, then rented a corner café and expanded his business little by little. At that time the first Parisian water pump stood on the Pont Neuf, and it was called “la Samaritaine” – the Samaritan woman. The pump gave the store its name. Today, historical commercials flicker there on old TVs:

Monsieur wants something?

Yes, nails.

We dont have.

An alligator clip.

Neither clamp nor crocodile.

Haven’t you read the name of our store?

No.

This is not the Samaritaine.

Ah, I see – you can find everything in the Samaritaine.

A hymn to Paris

The house no longer lives up to this claim, says manager Eleonore de Boysson, but: “You can find all of Paris in the Samaritaine. Its brands and artists. It’s like a promenade with surprises. A visit should trigger a new Parisian feeling.” And convey the French way of life. The house bakes its own croissants, personalizes champagne bottles and sells cosmetics from collapsible crates that resemble those of the bouquinists in front of the door. Mosaics are reminiscent of the Parisian passages and yellow lanterns of the street lighting in the past. Parisian flair en passant.

The luxury department store is a hymn to the city. It offers the largest beauty department in the European Union – 600 brands and products from three-euro hand gel to perfume in a giant crystal bottle for 150,000 euros. Up to five million customers are expected each year. Parisians, French and of course tourists. On the lower floor, the head of marketing points to a long rolling carpet like at the airport: “There was direct access from the parking lot to the department store. We have redesigned this tunnel. This is where the bus tourists will arrive.”

The complex includes a luxury hotel with a 1000 square meter suite. Even the smallest room there costs 1500 euros per night. But there is also a day nursery and almost 100 social housing. Samaritaine General Director Jean Jacques Guiony explains: “That is the law. When building, around 25 percent of the area has to be reserved for social housing. We were free to move it inside in the Rue de Rivoli building.” The tenants look out over a green, roofed courtyard with the department store’s wellness oasis. The Samaritaine is open 364 days a year. It is only closed on May 1st

This accountant’s soul implored Thomas to fulfill one wish: Destroy the papers recording the wrong payments of the former owner, because of sudden death the accountant was unable to do so. . “It’s been more than 80 years, I still have that in my heart and have never dared to leave this house. I have to stay here to keep the notebook, to avoid it falling into the hands of others,” the old man said. That is, just because of an unfinished task that his spirit could not escape forever. Thomas’s strange encounter with the old accountant’s ghost can help us figure out where we are in the river of destiny. Meeting is destiny, working with the boss is life; spending in the dark is the cause, and the notebook is the effect. The old accountant’s attachment is that the boss’s secrets should not be kept, secrets that can affect the reputation of the person he has served. It has become a stored part of the store consciousness of this life. “When a person dies, a person leaves the physical body and exists in another form called the bardo or spirit body. This is the intermediate state between death and the next rebirth. The only thing that really exists is the store consciousness, which is the basis of existence, the foundation of all consciousness. Every thought, word, and action in a lifetime, whether good or bad, creates a cause, or a seed, which is stored in the store-consciousness, never to be lost,” the book explains. Eternal life, part 1, 2 – Author: Nguyen Phong Sow cause and reap fruit Human life is like a dream, it’s too short for us to stop and reflect on what causes cause and effect, and then steps into the spirit world and the rest is just attachment. Meetings in Eternal life Part 2 is sometimes too mundane, like what we have been going through. But reading until the end, we realize, it turns out that every daily action can cause cause and effect, which no one can control. Thomas and Don C (the new owner of the accountant’s ghost house) make friends from a co-worker relationship that is also a result of cause and effect for both of them. Thomas meeting the spirit is a part of life, releasing the responsibility for the spirit to return peace to the Don C family is a part of picking the fruit. But it is also possible that Thomas is spreading past cause and effect, or new cause in the future. Still follow Eternal life In part 2, when cause and effect will bear fruit depends on many other factors such as inspiration, subsequent behavior and merit of each person. Causality interdependence manifests: “If this exists, the other is formed. When this arises, the other arises. If one does not exist, the other does not exist. When this is destroyed, the other is destroyed.” That is also the fate, the predestined birth. Our small actions every day can make a huge connection over time. The Mission of Reincarnation We humans are inherently sentient and as in theory Dependent origination of Buddhism, one can become entangled in the cycle of samsara. A continuous cycle of cause and effect can then be transmigrated to the six paths of reincarnation: heaven, human, Atula, animal, hungry ghosts, and hell. Thomas’s colorful journey back to his past life, through “the Mesopotamian deserts of Assyria to ancient Greece, Persia, and India through the conquests of Alexander the Great” has explained us better about this. the reincarnation of a human being. Thomas and his mysterious friend Kris have cultivated together for many lifetimes, although the path is not the same, but the predestined connection has caused them to meet again to complete their previous promises and missions. Or Thomas reunited with friends from past lives to relearn lessons to be learned. If there is a cause, there must be a result, so two people keep borrowing and repaying each other, lasting for many lifetimes without end. Such is the complexity of cause and effect in samsara. And each person’s task is to live a life that opens their hearts to everyone, develops love, and learns the lessons they need to learn, “instead of just worrying about beautifying the body, which is now dead and floating. life after life in the endless stream of samsara”, as Thomas explained.

On June 14, local time, the Moon Jae-in and his wife and the Austrian president and his wife were in the same frame. Kim Jong-sook put on a bright yellow suit. At the G7 summit, Kim Jong-suk’s style was not so professional. Such a suit is easy to wear out, but Kim Jong-sook’s choice of color this time has an advantage. The skin is fair, and with such a tender yellow, the complexion is several degrees whiter.

Obviously, Kim Jong-sook has lost a lot of weight under the background of such a waist waist suit. Clothing is really important in reflecting the temperament, and some styles are really very thin.

The trousers look of the Austrian first lady looked a little casual in front of Kim Jong-sook. The white skirt is matched with a thin gray windbreaker, which is naturally inferior in terms of sophistication.

The first lady of South Korea, Kim Jong-sook, is suitable for classical styles, and such a set of well-formed professional attire looks more aura. This kind of suit is the favorite professional outfit of lazy MMs. After all, you don’t need to bother to match it. The interior and exterior are all in the same color system, which gives you a sense of ceremony.

The first lady of the United States Jill Biden, in the final appearance, also chose this matching method. Jill was a little negligent. Jill’s blue dress was not dominant, especially in front of the British queen who was successful in acting as a tender, Jill completely lost his aura.

70-year-old Jill had to obey the old age. She still had a hemostatic patch on her leg, and her feet were violent, but she still insisted on wearing high heels. It was not easy for a 70-year-old.

The British Queen’s sense of fashion can be seen from this pink printed dress, and any first lady around the Queen seems to be restrained by the aura of this old lady.

Fashion tips: For professional suits like Gil and Kim Jong-sook, the first lady of South Korea, attention should be paid to the details. Don’t use the crumpled fabrics like Gil, which are extraordinarily cheap.

Kim Jong-sook’s appearance at the G7 summit is actually even more distinctive. Although a bit fat, in terms of showing the oriental beauty, this silver skirt with a blue scarf of matching colors really has the sense of wealth of a wealthy wife.

And this dress style is more feminine. The 33-year-old British first lady Kelly tried this suit for the first time, and instantly lost her little girl’s breath. Wearing a cute and cute dress, Kelly is like a child. same. And changing into this very ceremonial suit, indeed, in terms of maturity performance, it has to rise several levels.

Kelly needs to dress more steadily, and the other first ladies who are getting older seem to want to make themselves more tender.

The fashion diplomacy performed by the first ladies at the G7 summit is still unsatisfactory. And the first lady of South Korea continues to shine in Austria, it is really charming!

The dress of the first lady of South Korea is not as exaggerated as that of the first lady of the United States, and Jill is more willing to try the style of young people. This red dress is quite successful. Kim Jong-sook’s clothing is very low-key in terms of color, and very conservative in style.

However, as mobile phone competition continues to intensify, the rise of mobile phone brands such as Huawei, Xiaomi, vivo, and OPPO have continuously launched new mobile phone products, which makes Apple very uncomfortable! Apple has only one press conference a year, and it does appear to be a bit weaker in this regard, and Cook can only make up for it by cutting prices. There are a lot of iPhone models that have reduced prices, and iPhone XR and iPhone 11 have achieved good results.

And what we are talking about today is the iPhone 12 model. The Apple mobile phone released last year has not been a full year yet, but there has been a big price cut. Many netizens said they regretted buying it early. iPhone 12 has three versions of 64GB, 128GB and 256GB, all of which are directly reduced by 600 yuan. If most people will buy it, they will definitely choose 128GB body storage. At that time, the price of this mobile phone was 6799 yuan, and now it only costs 6199 yuan for a certain Dongfang, and the price-performance ratio has indeed improved a lot. In other words, iPhone 12 dropped from 6799 to 6199, 128GB+iOS14+5G, netizens: I regret buying it too early!

In terms of appearance, the iPhone 12 still uses a full-screen design with bangs. There is nothing to say about this. After all, everyone is used to it. Thanks to the practical Face ID facial recognition technology, everyone will not complain! The difference is that the screen quality is better. The OLED material is used. Thanks to the return to the Founder design of the iPhone4s, it has also achieved a high screen-to-body ratio. The body weight is only 162g, which is really thin and light. It is very touching when I hold it in my hand for the first time. I sigh that Apple’s craftsmanship is really the world’s top level.

In terms of hardware, Apple has an absolute advantage in the mobile phone industry, which is the main reason why many people choose iPhone. The iPhone 12 is equipped with an Apple A14 processor. The chip uses a 5nm process. With the latest iOS14 system, the performance stability and fluency are not comparable to those of Android phones. In addition, it supports 5G network, which can be called a The strongest smartphone. In terms of cameras, this is the same as the iPhone 11, with a 12-megapixel dual camera at the rear, which supports ultra-wide-angle and night scene shooting. Many fruit fans are quite satisfied and can meet various daily complex shooting needs. Built-in 2815mAh battery, this capacity is considered good in Apple, but when running 5G, it is really not good.

Of course, in addition to the above, the iPhone 12 is also well-received in these aspects. For example, it supports dual-card dual-standby function. Chinese people are more in need of this. At the same time, it also supports wireless charging technology and IP68 dustproof and waterproof, which is quite practical!

In general, the iPhone 12 has many highlights. It has now fallen to 6,199 yuan, and the price/performance ratio has improved so much. If you like Apple phones and have 5G needs, this iPhone 12 is still worth considering, don’t you think? Welcome to the comment section to talk about your views!
