Industry Day Showing the Chancellor candidate

Status: 06/22/2021 6:12 p.m.

How can the climate change succeed and Germany be preserved as an industrial location? The Chancellor candidates gave outlooks at the Industry Day. In the end there was nothing more than friendly applause.

From Eva Ellermann, ARD capital studio

German industry is worried: climate neutrality by 2045 – how should Germany, a country of industry, export and innovation, achieve that?

The head of the Federal Association of German Industry (BDI), Siegfried Russwurm, fears that new climate protection goals and specifications will overwhelm the industry: “Just to raise the bar, although athletes and coaches don’t yet know how to cope with the lower ones – that is not a successful training strategy. And to do that as a trainer, and certainly not to talk to the athlete about it beforehand. ”

Merkel’s last day of industry

Chancellor Angela Merkel does not find it difficult to commit to Germany as an industrial location, but she warns that self-evident things have to be worked out over and over again.

It is her last appearance at an Industry Day and she uses it to make demands on the hosts on the way to climate neutrality: “We urgently need – we should work with the BDI – a forecast for electricity demand in 2030. The Assumptions that the electricity price will not increase are probably not sustainable. Then we need a plan that requires more line construction than we have planned today, “said Merkel.

SPD Chancellor candidate Olaf Scholz shares the Chancellor’s diagnosis and uses it to attack Federal Economics Minister Peter Altmaier. He assumes constant electricity consumption until 2030 – Scholz adds: “Let me say it loud and clear: the electricity lie.”

Scholz presents himself as a doer. He promises the industry that electricity will remain affordable for them. “That is why we will abolish the EEG surcharge by 2025 and reorganize the taxes and surcharges in the energy sector,” said Scholz. “My goal is an industrial electricity price of four cents.”

Laschet: no tax increases

Competitor Armin Laschet is not that specific. The Union chancellor candidate shows understanding for the concerns of the industry. “My idea is that in 20 years’ time we will still have a steel industry, still have a chemical industry, another automotive industry – then climate-neutral,” says Laschet. “But if you do not formulate this goal at the beginning, but just keep increasing guidelines and limit values, issuing bans, you will in the end gamble away the status of the industrialized country.”

The “Corona Method” with regulations down to the smallest detail does not fit the future. Laschet promises: less maneuvering and no tax increases.

There is no getting around climate neutrality, emphasized Annalena Baerbock. Image: dpa

Of course, Green Chancellor candidate Annalena Baerbock knows that this is her address too, but she emphasizes that there is no getting around the goal of climate neutrality: “Whether you like it or not – the competition is about who will be the markets of the future first achieved climate-neutral, in the future it will also have the edge in terms of economy and thus socio-political. ” The course must now be set for a social and climate-friendly market economy, said Baerbock. All three candidates for Chancellor appear a bit nervous at their show in front of the most important German business association. At the end of the day there is friendly applause for everyone, but no more at the German Industry Day

Burden on world trade Freighters back up off southern China

As of: 21.06.2021 8:59 a.m.

The container ships are stowed in the fourth largest port in the world. The reason is a corona outbreak in Shenzhen-Yantian. The international movement of goods is impaired – possibly until the end of the year.

From Steffen Wurzel, ARD studio Shanghai

The congestion of the container ships off southern China is worse than that Blockade of the Suez Canal in March This is how Vincent Clerc, manager of the Danish shipping company Maersk, summed it up in a conversation with journalists in mid-June. At times, around 130 container ships from all over the world were anchored off the port of Shenzhen-Yantian, as reported by the Bloomberg news agency.

Weeks-long consequences for world trade

The reason for the traffic jam is a new – albeit small – corona outbreak in the southern Chinese part of Guangdong, where Shenzhen is located. Because the local authorities ordered the port of Shenzhen to be partially closed due to the corona, ships could not dock and cast off. Supply chains worldwide are out of step. German companies in the Guangdong region are also reporting that department stores are sometimes overcrowded. In the meantime, the situation in Guangdong has normalized, but weeks will pass before the backlog has completely cleared, estimates Nick Marro, an analyst for world trade at the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) in Hong Kong. The backlog will therefore continue for weeks through the global supply chains.

Traffic jam in the fourth largest port in the world

Shenzhen-Yantian is the fourth largest container port in the world; Last year more than 27 million standard containers (TEU) were handled there. For comparison: In Hamburg there were fewer than nine million containers in 2020, i.e. around a third of them.

The logistics delays are a problem especially for the tech and electronics industry: around 90 percent of all electronics exports from China go through the port of Shenzhen-Yantian. Analyst Nick Marro expects the situation to remain tense, given the global openings after the height of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Relaxation probably only towards the end of the year

“There is no sign of an end to global consumer demand for goods and products. In many western countries, stocks are usually replenished in the third quarter of the year, which continues to ensure high trading activity,” says Marro. “This suggests that the tensions in global logistics and at the ports will not ease until the fourth quarter of the year.” In China, almost no reports are made of the container ship congestion in front of the port of Shenzhen-Yantian

Debate about opening times Shop on Sundays until Christmas?

Status: 19.06.2021 2:58 p.m.

Brick-and-mortar retail suffered a lot in the pandemic, while online retailing gained tremendously. DIW, Städtebund and the trade association HDE are now calling for more flexible opening times to help stimulate the economy. The union ver.di warns. The President of the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW), Marcel Fratzscher, calls for opening hours to be relaxed in view of the difficult situation of many retailers. “A liberalization of the shop opening times is urgently required so that the stationary retail trade can assert itself in the competition against the online trade and secure jobs,” said Fratzscher to the “Handelsblatt”.

Flexibility required until the end of the year

The economist stood by the side of the trade association HDE. He had suggested leaving the shops open on Sundays at least until the end of the year. This gives retailers the chance to make up at least part of the sales lost during the lockdowns and would also be a signal to people that the city centers are open again. In addition, there should be more reliable rules for a legally secure occasional Sunday opening.

The Association of Towns and Municipalities also spoke out in favor of it. “We now have to do everything we can to ensure that our inner cities and town centers do not become deserted,” said managing director Gerd Landsberg to the “Handelsblatt”. “It would be a positive signal to allow additional Sunday opening hours.” Landsberg referred to the threatening situation of the trade and the danger for hundreds of thousands of jobs.

“Small but important signal”

Over 100,000 retail stores could close or not open at all, Landsberg said. This would put almost 500,000 jobs at stake. The online trade, on the other hand, was open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and was able to increase its sales to over 72 billion euros last year due to the pandemic. Additional Sunday opening hours would therefore be “a small but important signal that the city centers and town centers have a future”.

“Development cannot be reversed”

Fratzscher explained: “Due to the pandemic, there was a massive shift towards online trading, which will not be completely reversed even after the pandemic.” However, fair competitive conditions did not mean that people could shop online 24 hours a day, seven days a week, but stationary retail trade had a “tight corset” and had to be closed on Sundays.

“Instead of sanctions or charges for online trading, politics should make stationary retailing more attractive,” said Fratzscher. In addition to more flexible shopping times, this also includes modern urban concepts that make inner cities more attractive again. “This not only has an immediate economic value, it is also very important from a social and societal perspective that people meet and come into contact with one another.”

Ver.di sees “general attack”

The FDP already supported the HDE’s advance as a suitable economic aid for the retail sector. The trade union ver.di, on the other hand, rejected him as an overly short-sighted “general attack on the trade workers, their families, but also on the Basic Law”.

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. “

Corona crisis Further help for business in sight

Status: 06/18/2021 5:51 p.m.

The states are urging to continue Corona aid for companies until the end of the year – Federal Minister of Economics Altmaier indicated readiness. Support for domestic exporters has already been extended. There are signs of an extension of the corona aid for companies that have been particularly hard hit by the pandemic. The economics ministers of the federal states demanded that the funds previously planned until the end of September be continued until the end of the year. The federal government pays the previous “Bridging Aid III”.

Extension after the summer break if necessary

Federal Minister of Economics Peter Altmaier (CDU) made it clear after a meeting with his country ministerial colleagues that he is not averse to an extension. One will look at the situation and, if necessary, extend the help after the summer break. The corona aid only applies to companies that can demonstrate a sharp drop in sales and can trace them back to the pandemic. As the economy is currently picking up again and more business is being done again, the number of companies eligible to apply is falling.

Altmaier: So far, 105 billion euros have been transferred

So far, a total of 105 billion euros have been transferred to companies as corona aid, said Altmaier. Roughly half of these are loans and half are grants that do not have to be repaid. In addition, there is money from the federal states. According to Altmaier, the state support has paid off: “Together we managed to prevent a loss of substance in the German economy.”

Against the background of the lower number of infections and the lifting of restrictions, Altmaier said the economy was “coming to a new start faster than many feared”. Growth is picking up – this year it will be 3.5 to 4 percent and in 2022 it will be more than 4 percent. The economy will have reached pre-crisis levels by spring 2022 at the latest. “That means, we are hopefully out of the worst,” said the CDU politician. When the bridging aid, which ran until the end of June, was extended by three months as “bridging aid III plus”, he was in any case in favor of continuing it until the end of the year.

Aid to exporters continues

Meanwhile, the corona aid for domestic exporters has already been extended until the end of the year. They were decided in July 2020 and should actually end this month. “Even if the economic situation has improved significantly in the past few months, the corona pandemic continues to pose challenges for the export industry,” the Ministry of Economics justified the decision. “Some companies are only now feeling the stresses with a delay.”

“Security signal” to the economy

North Rhine-Westphalia’s Minister of Economic Affairs, Andreas Pinkwart, spoke out in favor of continuing to support sectors such as the trade fair industry. After all, they would “presumably not yet be able to work in the fourth quarter in the way they normally would at normal times”. In addition, the FDP politician considers the extension of the bridging aid to be a good precaution for possible rising incidences in autumn. Then you would “not have to put on a new program from the hip”, but would have already been prepared. Saarland’s Minister of Economic Affairs, Anke Rehlinger, considers the prospect of the extension of the aid to be “a protective signal” to the economy. “We have to take care of the industries that are still suffering from the pandemic.” She stressed that the time should be used to prepare for all eventualities in autumn and winter. Should one be forced to make restrictions again because of the pandemic, there could be “other, smarter measures” that would take into account aspects such as a high vaccination rate.

Situation in trade fair industry “catastrophic”

The corona pandemic hit large parts of the German economy hard. In the meantime, things are looking a little better again, also because restrictions have been relaxed and restaurants and cafes are open again, for example. However, the situation in some sectors such as the trade fair industry is still very tense.

Jörn Holtmeier, managing director of the trade fair association AUMA, described the situation in his branch as “catastrophic”. The first industry get-togethers would take place again in September, but the number of trade fairs until the end of the year was clear. There have been many rejections. “If a stand builder finally gets another order for his first trade fair in November or December, but then does not receive any more money from the state in October, this can extremely worsen the already tense financial situation of his company.” Then company bankruptcies are possible. It is mainly about stand builders, caterers and private trade fair organizers. Exhibition companies that belong to municipalities and the state are not entitled to federal corona aid.

Around 231,000 employees

Holtmeier is also in favor of extending the aid until the end of the year. This was just a safety net, he said. “Some companies will get orders again beforehand and make sales, they will not have to use the help.”

According to AUMA, Germany’s trade fair industry has around 231,000 employees. This not only includes organizers and stand builders, but also companies with a strong trade fair business – a hotel, for example, which does most of its business with trade fair visitors, is proportionately included in the number of employees. Since March 2020, according to the Ifo Institute, the crisis in the trade fair industry has led to economic damage of an estimated 40 billion euros: Dealers could no longer buy anything at the industry get-togethers, and there were no more visitors who would spend money on restaurant visits, hotel stays or taxi rides

Currency under $ 1.20 How weak is the euro going to be?

Status: 06/18/2021 2:09 p.m.

In the USA there are signs of a turnaround in interest rates, in Europe the key interest rate will probably remain low for a long time to come. That has been burdening the euro for days. How much will the common currency still become cheaper? The prospect of rising interest rates in the US has recently weighed on the euro. The common currency fell in the past few days from rates at 1.22 to below 1.19 US dollars. Experts cited the interest rate meeting of the US Federal Reserve (Fed) as an explanation for this strong movement. After years of zero interest rate policy, the American monetary authorities had promised interest rate hikes, at least for the longer term. Accordingly, two rate hikes can be expected by 2023.

First of all, the Fed will in all probability cut back its security purchases later in the year, with which it had pushed down long-term interest rates on the bond market in recent years. The expectation of an economic recovery with rising inflation rates alone had pushed the yield on ten-year US government bonds up from around 0.5 percent to just under 1.8 percent since the summer of last year.

Long-term rates still negative

Yields on the German stock market have also risen sharply in recent months, albeit at a significantly lower level to date. The yield on ten-year Bunds is still around minus 0.2 percent. In the low, the interest rate was only around minus 0.67 percent. Despite rising inflation rates in Germany and the euro area, the European Central Bank in Frankfurt unwilling to be, to follow the central bank colleagues in Washington and to consider at least less security purchases in the near future. In May, the inflation rate in the euro zone was 2.0 percent, slightly above the central bank’s price stability target. In Germany they moved Producer prices even rose 7.2 percent in May compared to the previous year and therefore stronger than it has been for almost 13 years. The prices were driven by the sharply rising prices of so-called intermediate goods.

Bundesbank boss for the end of the bond purchases

“In the long run this will work noticeable in consumer prices The economists at Commerzbank said: “A central bank in crisis mode, which, as ECB President Christine Lagarde said in her last press conference, does not even talk about whether a reduction in bond purchases might be necessary. appears well behind the curve in comparison. “In the opinion of the experts, the monetary authorities have thus missed the entry into the exit from the zero interest rate policy.

An opinion that is also shared by the President of the Bundesbank, Jens Weidmann. Weidmann has spoken out in favor of an early end to the trillion dollar bond purchases by the European Central Bank (ECB) after the pandemic. The focus is on the purchase program called “PEPP” the monetary guardian. “When the emergency for which the PEPP was created is over, it must be ended,” Weidmann told the “Handelsblatt”. But whether Weidmann will prevail is unclear. There are thus signs for the near future that the dollar could retain or even expand its interest rate advantage.

German exporters benefit

For German vacationers who want to spend their free time outside the euro area, that would be bad news – they would have to pay more for foreign currency. The export-oriented German economy, on the other hand, is benefiting from the trend. Last year, just 36 percent of German exports went to the countries of the euro area. And even if you include EU countries with their own currencies such as Denmark, Sweden and the United Kingdom, which has since left the country, the share of exports last year was just over half.

A good sixth of exports even went directly to the USA. In fact, the impact of the dollar rate on German exports is likely to be significantly greater. Because some international currencies are directly linked to the US dollar. These include, for example, the Saudi riyal or the diram of the United Arab Emirates. Both Saudi Arabia and the Emirates are countries that traditionally buy and import many German products with the money they earn from oil exports.

Dollar weakness later in the year?

If the US dollar gains strength, German companies have two options. Either they reap additional profits with unchanged prices. Or they react with price cuts in order to gain market share – both attractive prospects for companies.

But at this point in time it seems questionable how long the euro will actually continue to decline. Because for autumn and winter, experts like those at Commerzbank are expecting inflationary dynamics to decline again in the USA. Then “the US dollar euphoria will soon be over”

Tim Draper. “I think I would be right on this one,” Draper told CNBC Make It. Draper first made his bold price prediction in 2018, when Bitcoin was trading around $8,000, according to Coinbase. “I will be really right or really wrong [nhưng] I’m pretty sure it’s going in that direction,” Draper said. That’s because Draper believes that virtual currency will be “more used by then”. Draper predicts: “Wait about a year and a half and retailers will use Opennode [một bộ xử lý thanh toán Bitcoin], so people will accept Bitcoin.” Currently only a few major companies accept Bitcoin directly or indirectly through a third-party digital wallet app, including Microsoft, PayPal, Overstock, Whole Foods, Starbucks, and Home Depot. And many experts see Bitcoin as a store of value, like gold, rather than currency. Draper said: “I think [Bitcoin] will continue to increase because there are only 21 million in all. Thanks to its code, only 21 million Bitcoins can be “mined”. To date, over 18 million bitcoins have been in circulation. Draper, 63, who built his fortune by making early investments in Twitter, Skype, Tesla and SpaceX, did not share how many Bitcoins he currently holds or whether he invests in other cryptocurrencies. or not. Draper says most engineers are working on improving Bitcoin right now. Last week, Bitcoin had its first upgrade in four years, called Taproot. Going into effect in November, the reported change will mean greater security and transaction efficiency. It is also meant to unlock the potential for smart contracts on the Bitcoin blockchain, CNBC reported. Bitcoin “Like Microsoft” [trong] software world or Amazon in the world of e-commerce,” said Draper. He believes that Bitcoin will be at the center of all financial activity in the next two to three decades. However, the value of Bitcoin is highly volatile and there are concerns about its massive energy use. For this and other reasons, experts recommend only investing as much money in Bitcoin as you can afford. Hundreds of billions of dollars were wiped out after Elon Musk tweeted in May that he would be suspending Bitcoin purchases at Tesla due to environmental concerns. In 2014, Draper purchased nearly 30,000 Bitcoins seized by US Marshals Services from the Silk Road Online Black Market.

Recently, a netizen shared a picture of a cocoa flan product (caramel cocoa) made by herself. This person wrote : “Hello everyone! Tomorrow is my lover’s birthday, I was planning to surprise her, so I looked at Google to find a recipe for Flan cocoa. I’ve been struggling all night and now I’m done, but the cake poured out like boiling time. Should I make another batch? Can anyone give me advice.” The image the girl posted makes everyone think it’s boiling time, no one thinks it’s cocoa flan. Many netizens are bored and think that if the girl can’t do it, she can order it, but it’s hard to accept it. “If you steam, keep the fire low and open the lid every 10 minutes. Your cake is due to the high fire, it bubbles up and is about to boil, so it’s pitted.” one resident said. However, some people expressed their admiration because: “Haven’t read the caption yet, I think you intend to surprise her by using boiled blood instead of cake. It must be said that the chef’s level is not certain to make a flan like blood to each small hole, to the color. water is the same. Admiration.” “Go to the store and buy it, don’t make other people’s stomach hurt, especially the ladies who cook are bad but still like to be creative.” one netizen frankly advised. Not long ago, a netizen shared a picture of a batch of homemade cakes. This person makes a cake with a smiley face in the picture on the internet. While the picture on the internet shows a round, beautiful and attractive batch of cakes, this girl’s cake is crushed and has nothing attractive. Not to mention the original one, the other one lost an unsightly corner of the face. Many netizens also expressed sympathy and said that making a cake is not simple, just a little carelessness can destroy the whole batch of cakes. “ I’ve done it before, baked at too high of temperature so the cake is burnt black, not to mention once made, it was crushed, unable to eat. Giving it to everyone, no one dares to eat it for fear of stomachache ” said one person. Some say: “ Making these cakes must be meticulous little by little, it’s not right to do it in a way that can’t be eaten, if you look at the recipe again, something must be wrong, but how can this be. It looks so scary “.

Hearing before the BGH Are CumEx transactions a criminal offense?

Status: 15.06.2021 4:41 p.m.

The first proceedings on CumEx transactions have begun at the Federal Court of Justice. The judges must decide whether the deals are a criminal offense as tax evasion. The verdict will have far-reaching consequences. From Klaus Hempel, ARD legal editors They led to one of the biggest tax scandals in German history, in which the German tax authorities were duped and the state suffered billions in damage: the CumEx business. Investors used loopholes in legal regulations to make big money. They were supported by banks and top lawyers who work in large commercial law firms.

The state escapes taxes running into billions

Essentially, these CumEx deals were about stock dividends. These are profits from stock corporations that are distributed to shareholders. Taxes are deducted directly from this and transferred to the tax office. The shareholders can get the money back under certain conditions. In the CumEx business, investors have used an extremely sophisticated system and have taxes reimbursed that were never paid. At some point the dizziness was exposed. In March 2020, the first defendants were convicted by the Bonn District Court: two British stock traders involved in such transactions. Because they cooperated closely with the prosecutor, they were sentenced to relatively mild suspended sentences. Nevertheless, they appealed to the Federal Court of Justice. He must now clarify in a landmark judgment whether the CumEx business is actually a criminal tax evasion. “In the present proceedings, the Federal Court of Justice is dealing for the first time with so-called CumEx transactions from the point of view of tax evasion,” explains Chief Public Prosecutor Thomas Heise from the Federal Prosecutor’s Office. “He will decide whether the peculiarities of these transactions allow a tax that has not actually been paid to be reclaimed from the tax authorities.”

Warburg-Bank rejects responsibility

One of the two stock traders had earned 14 million euros from the deals, which he is supposed to repay. The private bank MM Warburg was also involved in the business. According to the judgment of the Bonn Regional Court, 176 million euros are to be collected from her. The bank is defending itself against this at the BGH. Your lawyer Ali Norouzi believes that the law does not justify skimming off the funds. “There were no representatives of the bank in the dock, but traders from other companies who traded for their own account and not for the bank,” argues Norouzi. “They made substantial profits and damaged the bank considerably. Their actions cannot be attributed to the bank.”

06/01/2021

Judgment expected at the end of July with far-reaching consequences

Nevertheless, the public prosecutor said that the millions in profits would have to be collected. The Bonn Regional Court followed this legal opinion. The Federal Court of Justice now has the final say. He plans to announce his verdict at the end of July. His decision is very significant for the lower level of justice. Hundreds of suspects are being investigated for tax evasion nationwide. If the BGH evaluates the CumEx transactions as criminal tax evasion, there will probably be further convictions in which those primarily responsible must expect long prison sentences.

Friends who like to travel should not be unfamiliar with wind and rain covered bridges in minority areas, because they are a very common bridge construction. These covered bridges not only allow people to walk through rivers and streams, but also provide shelter for passers-by. The place of rain is also a resting place for pedestrians who have traveled long distances in the depths of the mountains. There are many well-known covered bridges in China, especially those ethnic minority autonomous counties in Guizhou. Almost every cottage has wind and rain covered bridges, and there are many famous ones. However, as far as the wind and rain covered bridges in Guangxi are concerned, it has to be said that they are located in Sanjiang, Liuzhou. Chengyang Yongji Bridge. Yongji Bridge is a wind and rain covered bridge for the Dong nationality. It is located at the Linxi River in Chengyang Bazhai (Ma’anzhai), Linxi Township, Sanjiang Dong Autonomous County, Guangxi. The bridge is 96 meters in length, 4 meters in width and 7 meters in height. It is preserved in Guangxi. One of the most perfect stone arch bridges so far, it is now a national key cultural relics protection unit, and it was also included in the country’s preliminary list of declarations of world cultural heritage to the United Nations in 1997. Yongji Bridge is a representative gallery bridge built by the Dong compatriots over thousands of years, which contains super-high architectural skills and wisdom. Maybe some friends don’t know much about the Dong nationality. In fact, it is a relatively ethnic minority living in southwest my country. The total population exceeds 2.5 million. The Dong nationality compatriots are good at wooden construction. In their Dong villages, there are many buildings everywhere. Drum Tower, Zhaimen, Dajiaolou and Fengyu Bridge with peculiar shapes and rigorous structure. According to the staff, Yongji Bridge is also known as Chengyang Bridge or Chengyang Fengyu Bridge because it is located at the entrance of Chengyang Bazhai. The bridge was built in 1912 and has a history of 109 years. From the structure of the bridge Look, the lower part of the bridge is composed of two piers and three piers built with blue stones. The piers are six-sided columns. The upstream and downstream are all pointed, with an angle of attack of 68 degrees. Therefore, the design is extremely scientific, even if it encounters no matter how large the water is. Its scouring force will also be quickly removed. As a national key cultural protection unit and a quasi-world cultural heritage, Chengyang Yongji Bridge is not only a landmark of Chengyang Bazhai, but also one of the landmarks of Sanjiang County. The villagers in the village are also full of affection for it, and often also Some grand and grand welcoming ceremonies are held on this bridge. For example, the picture above is the situation encountered when Yu Fan went to visit. The beautiful Dong family girl stopped the bridge head of Yongji Bridge with a red rope, and the tourists entered the village. Either drink, or sing in antithesis, otherwise you will not be allowed to enter the village. A very interesting welcome ceremony. There are five bridge pavilions in Yongji Bridge, and the tops of these bridge pavilions and the corners of the eaves are inlaid with beautiful ornaments. Tung oil, lime, and glutinous rice syrup are used as raw materials to create lifelike auspicious birds. According to the old people in the stockade, these gourds and auspicious birds have good meanings, such as a bunch of gourds, which symbolizes a good weather, a lot of fruits, and a good harvest every year. And the auspicious birds are like spreading their wings and want to fly, which is a good embellishment for the beautiful pictures of Wind and Rain Bridge. The length of Yongji Bridge is 77.6 meters, the width is 3.75 meters, and the height is 20 meters. Its structural technology and plastic art form a high degree of unity. In those days, the ink masters and craftsmen did not need to draw, make molds, or nail or rivet. They all relied on a wooden square called “fragrant pole” by the locals to measure, draw, chisel, and saw to make the structure complex and majestic. The magnificent wind and rain bridge was built. At the bridgehead of Yongji Bridge, there is a red inscription, which is said to be inscribed by Mr. Guo Moruo. In 1965, after Mr. Guo Moruo saw the model of Chengyang Bridge in Beijing, he was pleasantly surprised and happily wrote the three characters “Chengyang Bridge”. And praised with poems: Yan said the Linxi Wind and Rain Bridge, which is twenty feet long and four feet long. The Zhongling Liange is pleasant and ingenious, and the columns flow into Wangyao. Bamboo and wood are stronger than iron, and the tea forest will grow new seedlings forever. When you can get to the Three Rivers Road, learn how to use plows and work hard. At the bridgehead of Yongji Bridge, we saw pieces of bluestone tablets erected on them, which recorded the names of the donors of the villages and villages when the Fengyu Bridge was built. According to the “Sanjiang County Chronicles”: Actively strive to be the first… The supply of materials is regardless of the rich or the poor, the service does not count the sun and the moon, men and women, old and young, only do their best, and never stop without prejudice.” The Dong family’s love of public welfare, solidarity and friendship can be seen from this. This is the treasure of Chengyang Bazhai town-Yongji Bridge. As a wind and rain bridge spanning the river with all stone and wood structure, it has a long history and is beautiful in appearance, exquisitely crafted and well-preserved. It may become a world cultural heritage in the future. It’s just a matter of time. If you have the opportunity to visit Liuzhou, you can stop here.

Economic aid will be extended The Bridging aid III gets a “plus”

As of: 06/09/2021 1:56 p.m.

Many companies that have been closed for a long time due to Corona can reopen. But because the situation is still difficult in some industries, several aids will be extended until the end of September – including the short-time working rules. The simplified access rules for short-time work due to the corona pandemic will be extended by a further three months beyond the end of June. The economic crisis caused by the pandemic is “not over yet” and it is therefore important to continue protecting jobs, said Minister of Labor Hubertus Heil. The cabinet has therefore decided to extend the rules, as there are companies “that need short-time work beyond June 30”. The SPD politician referred, among other things, to the event industry. In the justification for the proposal for the cabinet, it is said that, in the view of the federal government, there are still “uncertainties” despite falling corona numbers and vaccination progress. It is about “stabilizing employment relationships and thereby avoiding unemployment and possibly bankruptcies as far as possible”. Above all, financially heavily burdened companies in the retail trade, in the entertainment, travel and tourism industries and in the hotel and restaurant industry, need easier access to short-time working beyond June 30, 2021.

Additional costs for BA of 2.6 billion euros

In addition to easier access to short-time working allowance, the full reimbursement of social security contributions for companies is to be extended. The federal government is making around 2.6 billion euros available for both instruments. Salvation announced the move in May and speaking of planning security for companies. Since the beginning of the year, the BA has already spent over 13 billion euros on short-time work. It is about “continuing to consistently secure employment” and building a “bridge to the time of economic recovery,” said Heil. Short-time working has already saved millions of jobs during the crisis and will continue to do so “where necessary”. The CSU in the Bundestag also pointed out that companies would be brought over the summer in this way. Criticism came from the Greens, who spoke of a “missed opportunity”. The extension “should have been combined with the introduction of a minimum short-time work allowance” in order to provide security and prevent going to the job center, explained the labor market expert Wolfgang Strengmann-Kuhn.

Bridging Aid III will also be extended

Further economic aid will also be paid longer. As the Ministry of Finance and Economics announced, Bridging Aid III for companies and self-employed people will be continued until September 30, 2021 – under the new name “Bridging Aid III Plus”. Economics Minister Peter Altmaier (CDU) said the “economic engine” was running. Nevertheless, the exit from the pandemic is gradual. That is why the extension of the aid, which was previously limited to the end of June, is an important signal. Finance Minister Olaf Scholz (SPD) emphasized that Germany had weathered the pandemic better than many others economically because the government had resolutely provided aid. “And this support is not stopped shortly before the goal, that would be economic nonsense.” The bridging aid is the government’s central crisis instrument to cushion the consequences of the pandemic on jobs and companies. With the extension, the upper limit for the subsidies will also be increased – especially larger companies from the fashion and hotel industries, for example, had complained that they had not yet received the aid. At the same time, companies that take employees out of short-time working earlier or hire new employees should receive a “restart bonus”.

Huawei is an excellent company. The rapid development in recent years has also attracted the jealousy of some countries. These countries are also unscrupulous in order to prevent the development of Huawei. This also shows that Huawei is powerful. Although these methods are infuriating, they also let us know that only by working hard and being self-reliant can we finally get out of this predicament.

As the world’s leading communications company, Huawei was established in 1987. This company has a very wide range of businesses. There are many businesses that we don’t usually have access to. Most of them are familiar with Huawei because of the company’s terminal products, such as Routers and mobile phones, in fact, its main business is still derived from communication technology solutions. In layman’s terms, it is to solve the place with a lot of human traffic and ensure that the network in this area is normal. Its customers are mainly operators such as China Mobile.

A company full of wolfish culture

This company is one of the few unlisted Fortune 500 companies in the world. It used to be a small company that was not well-known. After many hardships, it achieved its current achievements. The leader of this company is also an excellent Ren Zhengfei is also a legendary person like this legendary company. He has seen many worlds. His legendary life begins with the founding of Huawei. It is also after a series of battles. Huawei, a company full of wolfish culture.

And if such a large company wants to do well, it must have some unusual capabilities. Facts have proved that Ren Zhengfei has these abilities, which is why today’s Huawei has grown stronger and stronger. However, an interesting incident happened at Huawei. At that time, Huawei recruited a university student who graduated from Peking University. After many selections, he finally entered the company and became an intern. To a certain extent, this shows that he also has a little ability, and this college student once did a behavior that surprised many people. Two months after he took office, he wrote a letter to Ren Zhengfei.

This letter has tens of thousands of words, and its content is about the shortcomings of the company and some shortcomings in many aspects. And he also put forward his own improvement ideas at the end. He originally intended to be reused by his boss, and then he could go further in the company, but things did not develop in the direction he wanted. When the letter was sent to Ren Zhengfei, Ren Zhengfei did not show any expression at the time. , Just said lightly: “If this person is mentally ill, please send it to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible, if not, please dismiss it as soon as possible. ”

A self-righteous college student

So this Peking University student was dismissed. Naturally, this person was not mentally ill, just because of his arrogance and he paid a price for it. Many people are wondering that this college student has put forward some opinions. Although there is his own little nine in it, it is undeniable that the essence is also for the good of the company, so why was he dismissed? So many netizens at that time did not agree with Ren Zhengfei’s approach. “Han Feizi · The Foreign Reserve Says Upper Left” once said: “The husband’s good medicine suffers from the mouth, but the wise man persuades and drinks it, knowing that it enters but he is sick; the faithful word is blown to the ear, and the master listens to it,” People are uncomfortable, but it does help the company’s development.

But in fact this is not the case. As mentioned above, this Peking University student has only been in Huawei for two months, and his position is still an intern. He thinks that he has understood all the company’s situation and wrote like this. A 4D letter is hoped to attract Ren Zhengfei’s attention and be reused. However, two months was not enough for him to learn about this Fortune 500 company, let alone that he was just an intern at the time.

This company has grown from a small switch company to a large global company. Naturally, there are more or less problems. He thought that what he saw was all of the company, so he wrote a 4D letter to Ren Zhengfei. Perhaps this college student was a positive and capable student when he was in school. Over time, he instinctively developed a sense of superiority over others, and this so-called sense of superiority will be given to him after he enters the society. He brought very big troubles, such as his 4D letter.

There are no outstanding young people, only young people

Maybe he really did it for the good of the company and wanted to prove his own ability. However, after all, it was because of his youth, which resulted in the current result. There are no outstanding young people in this world, there are only young people, as long as they are young people. Make mistakes. Isn’t Ren Zhengfei aware of the problems he described? Does it need to be proposed by a new employee who has just come to the company for less than two months? For some company problems raised by this college student, perhaps some problems really exist, but this kind of problem must have been formed long ago.

How can such a huge company have no problems at all? If these problems are solved, some other problems will inevitably be involved. And this company is like a high-speed train, if only for a few minor problems, But if the teachers are mobilized, the company will definitely stop, and the consequences will be very serious. Therefore, the solution of these problems requires a long process, rather than being solved at once. The college student did not investigate clearly.He didn’t even have a deep understanding. After coming to this company in February, he rashly wrote a letter of ten thousand words and raised questions to the company without embarrassment. In the end, he still paid a huge amount of money.

end

So when we do anything, we should not be arrogant and self-righteous. We have known this truth since ancient times, but there are not many that can really do it. Some people feel a little good about themselves because of their ability. Some people feel superior because of wealth. But this kind of superiority does not always exist by your side. He will make you pay a huge price in a certain period of time. Because of ignorance, this kind of superiority will bring people endless troubles.

Wave of closures expected in Europe Thousands of bank branches before the end

As of: June 8th, 2021 8:58 am

For many European private banks, running a tightly knit network of branches is no longer worthwhile. According to a new study, almost half of the stores will close in the coming years. A study by the business consultancy PwC predicts a wave of branch closings by European banks. According to this, up to 40 percent of the branches could be on the verge of closure by 2023. This means that drastic cuts are imminent for employees and customers of the branches. Study author Andreas Pratz and his colleagues looked at around 50 private customer banks and banking groups with a total of 690 million customers as well as estimated private customer deposits and loan volumes of 18 trillion euros. Banks from 15 countries in Europe and, for comparison purposes, also in North America and Australia were included.

Too little income from the branches

The main reason for the expected closure measures is the poor profitability of the branches for the banks. According to the study, the average profit per customer in the past year 2020 dropped again by eight percent to 193 euros. There is also less and less business being done in the branches. For example, fewer and fewer bank customers are making international transactions, and the demand for consumer credit has also continued to decline. The income per customer is below average in branches in Germany, it is 172 euros. In contrast, a customer in Switzerland brought an average profit of 444 euros, in Austria slightly above average 208 euros. In Italy and Spain, too, the yields are significantly higher than in Germany. According to the study author Pratz, higher bank fees are charged there or salary accounts are better linked to other bank offers such as construction financing. According to Pratz, there are also major differences in Germany. The “associations”, ie the Volksbanks and the savings banks, achieved better earnings than the branches of private commercial banks.

Cancellation programs launched

Only a quarter of European commercial banks managed to increase their sales in the past year. This increases the cost pressure considerably and directs the bank managers’ attention to their own branch networks. Many of the big banks have already launched job cancellation programs in recent months and in some cases tightened them again, including Deutsche Bank and the French Société Générale. Commerzbank and Postbank had also announced drastic branch closings in the past few weeks. The study assumes that bank branches in Europe will shrink from just under 60,000 to just 36,000 in 2023. More and more new sales channels are taking the place of the branches: “Instead of luring as many customers as possible into the branches through the best locations, customer contacts will in future be gained through targeted online marketing”, according to the author of the study, Pratz.

After Hongmeng, Huawei has “enlarged its tricks”? According to the media quoted Huawei’s official news, on June 17, Huawei will host the “5G+AR” global online and offline summits, uniting global operators and partners to jointly promote the prosperity of the 5G+AR ecosystem. What exactly is 5G+AR?

Lead Apple!Huawei AR engine covers 500 million devices

As the latest generation of mobile communication technology, 5G does not need to be introduced. As for AR, the most intuitive explanation is: the integration of the real world and the virtual world. Through AR, people can obtain information and interact with it more conveniently and intuitively.

So what is “5G+AR”? According to Huawei’s introduction, as the 5G ecosystem gradually matures, how to increase the application of 5G technology in reality and in specific industries has become a new development focus; in addition, as various new infrastructures including 5G have begun to take shape in recent years, AR The industry has also developed rapidly and has gradually penetrated into various core scenarios. simply put, 5G+AR is a “strong alliance” in the new era.

In addition, Huawei’s layout for AR is also in line with the country’s “appeal”-the relevant documents recently released by the Ministry of China Information Technology mentioned that in the 5G Internet era, Haier uses 5G, AR and other technologies to achieve on-site auxiliary assembly of precision industrial equipment. Good “precedent”.

In fact, as early as 2018, Huawei has begun to deploy in the AR industry-released the universal AR engine “Huawei AR Engine”; as of August 2020, this engine has covered 500 million Huawei mobile terminal devices. In the words of Huawei’s consumer business AR/VR product technical director, Huawei will firmly promote the development of AR technology and ecology in the future.

It should be noted that not only Huawei, but also overseas technology giants such as Google and Microsoft have already begun to deploy in the AR field, and they have all launched second-generation AR glasses. Apple analysts also predict that AR will become a major trend in the technology sector in the next 10 years, but it will not be until 2022 that Apple plans to launch its first AR headset. In other words, in the AR field, Huawei is one step ahead of Apple.

Over 1,000 manufacturers join!Hongmeng sets a new goal: to cover 360 million equipment by the end of the year

Huawei’s “5G+AR” is about to debut, and Hongmeng, which was born one step ahead, is also “opening all the way.” According to the person in charge of Huawei, as of now, More than 300 application and service providers, and more than 1,000 hardware equipment manufacturers have joined Hongmeng, These service providers and manufacturers are involved in multiple fields including smart home, travel, and audio-visual entertainment scenarios, and can basically meet the mainstream needs of current Internet users.

Earlier, Huawei had set the goal of “Hongmeng will be equipped with more than 300 million devices by the end of 2021.” Seeing that the team joining Hongmeng has grown stronger and stronger, Huawei Software CEO Wang Chenglu also recently said, By 2021, Hongmeng may be equipped with 360 million devices. This directly reflects Hongmeng’s “confidence” and “ambition”.

In the face of the turbulent Hongmeng, Google and Apple can’t sit still. On the day Hongmeng was born, Google reported that Fuchsia OS was about to be launched. Some people in the industry even speculated that “Google is paving the way for the abandonment of the Android system.” There is also news from Apple that it is about to launch home OS.

Humans have only found about 5% of the composition of the universe. So what is the remaining 95%? Although we know of its existence, we cannot see or study it specifically, directly because these components are invisible. Science fiction still frequently mentions the existence of other universes. In fact, in recent years, the scientific community is gradually accepting this hypothesis. A typical example is the multiverse theory, which comes from William James’s term of the same name in 1895. Accordingly, it is said that there are many parallel universes along with the one in which we live. The origin of cosmic rays has puzzled astronomers for a long time, who have spent a century studying the origin of these charged particles. However, the origin of this mysterious phenomenon remains an unanswered question. Since the birth and development of space science, a question that has always bothered the whole human society is whether there is anyone outside of Earth? Humans have launched spacecraft, explored many planets in search of other life, but so far, the above question has not been answered. Life likely existed on Mars and may even exist today. Mars used to have vast oceans. Scientists have found evidence that liquid water is still periodically flowing on the surface of Mars. Many countries are planning to send explorers to Mars to find the answer tree to this problem. Solar physicists have been baffled by the mystery of the Sun’s ability as it reheats its corona, the fragile crown surrounded by light that emerges brightly during a total eclipse. Crystal rain is a mysterious phenomenon that can only be seen in the universe. The star HOPS-68 is a star that closely resembles the Sun at its inception. Around this star exists a cloud of dust and gas, of which the main component is green olivine crystals. Due to the rather cold temperature of these dust clouds (about -170 degrees Celsius), the olivine crystals condense into small particles and fall like a magically beautiful blue crystal rain. Black holes are one of the great mysteries of the universe. This entity is one where the density of matter is greater than any other entity in the universe. With its huge weight, the black hole can bend time and space and nothing can escape if it accidentally falls into its gravitational field. Astronomers estimate that the Sun will destroy the Earth in about 6 billion years. Several theories about the end of the universe have been put forward. The universe can perish when all matter in the universe has the same temperature. That means all stars will perish and all matter will perish. Another opinion is that an event contrary to the Big Bang, the Big Crunch, will occur. If the universe continues to expand, eventually gravity will become too great, causing everything to contract. The entire universe will become a solid mass and the universe will come to an end. There is a mystery about the moon that has puzzled astronomers for a long time. That’s why only certain parts of the moon’s surface appear to have magnetic fields. But after conducting many tests and analyzing the moon’s surface, scientists believe that the moon once had a magnetic field – about 450 million years ago. Femi bubbles are giant and mysterious structures that arise from the center of the Milky Way and span about 20,000 light-years, accompanied by intense gamma rays and X-rays. Since it was first discovered until now, the Fermi Bubble has caused astronomers around the world a headache because it has not been able to find the origin of this giant gamma-ray structure.

Chong Trinh Emperor can be considered as the emperor with the most tragic fate in the history History of the Ming Dynasty . Unlike other kings who lost their country in history, during the 17 years of Sung Trinh De’s reign, he always ruled the kingdom, carried out reforms, wiped out the parties in the court, and always worked diligently. hope to save the tragedy of the decline of the Ming dynasty. Unfortunately it’s too late! The court at that time had hundreds of thousands of holes, politics was chaotic, moreover Ming Dynasty At that time, it was in the “downhill without brake” stage, the people lamented endlessly. The area of ​​Guangdong, Xiamen, even Hainan has snowfall, drought in the North, floods in the South, it is this extreme weather phenomenon that has fueled the fire of hatred among the people when life Theirs had fallen into an impoverished stalemate. Because of that, peasant uprisings arose everywhere, for the Ming court, it was cold and foggy, and things that were bad are now getting worse. Starting from the first year of Chong Trinh (ie 1628), there was a great drought in the North of China, the land was white and the grass could not grow, in the “Han Nam custom of the district” it was recorded that: Illustrations. “In the first year of Chongzheng, the whole Shaanxi region was red like blood. In the fifth year there was a famine; in the sixth year there was a flood; in the seventh year there was a locust plague, causing a loss of crops and famine; in September of the eighth year, Xixiang In the tenth year, there was a great drought, Luoc Duong had a great flood, and houses were ruined; in the ninth year, there was a great drought and locusts; in the tenth year, the autumn crops were completely lost; in the eleventh summer, locusts flew through the sky; … in the tenth year. three great droughts; … the fourteenth year of the great drought.” The appearance of the rebels Because to cut spending, Emperor Chong Trinh ordered the removal of the epidemic station, the savings were used for military expenses in the Northeast. But no one expected that this staff reduction would bring back Chong Trinh De a very strong enemy, which is Ly Tu Thanh. After being dismissed, Ly Tu Thanh joined the insurgent army and soon became Thunder King. In 1644, the insurgents attacked the Forbidden City. Faced with the situation of dehydration near the shelf, along with the scene of the insurgent army breaking through the main gate of Beijing, Emperor Chong Trinh’s heart was like cold ashes, completely hopeless. In fact, this emperor could have fled with his court officials to the south, to Nanjing, continuing to maintain Ming domination. Because at that time, Nanjing has always been Beijing’s subsidiary capital, Beijing has a key force, and Nanjing also has a part. Moreover, there are still some descendants of the Zhou family, who did not follow Beijing, still continue to live in Nanjing. So even if Beijing was later destroyed, Emperor Chongzhen could still establish a new government in Nanjing. If Emperor Chongzheng can escape from Beijing, with his status, position and talent, the Ming dynasty still has the opportunity to rebuild and rebuild again. But Chong Trinh De was a brave Emperor. Outside of the chaotic army, he sadly looked back at the palace and his relatives and then chose to commit suicide according to the country. The fate of the concubines who served the Chong Trinh Emperor It is surprising that many of his concubines have committed suicide with him. Emperor Chong Trinh wholeheartedly took care of the country, so his harem concubines were not many. Moreover, the affection between Emperor Chong Trinh and Empress Chau was also very good, so he did not favor many other girls. Therefore, there are very few records of his concubine in history, moreover, there are also some people of high status who died at a young age. By the time the country died, there were not many people who personally paid their respects. The relationship between Chong Trinh De and Chau Empress has always been very good, extremely close, the feelings of the two can be compared to the love of a loving couple. Chong Trinh De and Chau Empress parted for the last time, after saying goodbye, Empress Chau also hanged herself and died. In addition to the Empress, there is also Consort Yuan. After parting, Consort Yuan also tied her neck with a rope, unfortunately because her body was a bit fat, so the rope broke. Yuan Gui fell to the ground, was in a coma for a while, and then regained consciousness. When the Qing army entered, she was arranged by the Qing army in a suitable position, enjoying her old age. Concubine Dien Quy was also one of the concubines of Emperor Chong Trinh. She was also favored by the king. Unfortunately, her health was always not good, so the three princes she gave birth to were also sick and died young. Tian Guifei couldn’t get over such a shock, was too pitiful, caused constant illness, and eventually died prematurely. Consort Vuong Thuan is also one of the concubines who died early. She came from a poor background, was a maidservant next to Chau Empress, the relationship between the two of them was very good. During his time at Tin Vuong Palace, he served Emperor Chong Trinh and Empress Chau. After that, he went to the palace with the Empress, always serving by her side. Once she happened to be blessed by the Emperor Chong Trinh, she became pregnant with a dragon race. Unfortunately, after giving birth, she died of bleeding. Emperor Chong Trinh’s harem still had a few other concubines, but because of his low status, he could not personally say goodbye. Most of them chose to commit suicide, following the Chong Trinh Emperor. In the face of the threat of dehydration, the weak women showed their last resilience, taking their own lives to express the last resistance, truly making people feel.

The Portuguese navigator Bartolomeu Dias first crossed here in 1488. He named it “Storm Cape”. Later, the king of Portugal changed its name to “Nose of Good Hope”. The entire southern part of the Cape peninsula is a national park that is wild, rolling hills, beautiful scenery and has not been ravaged by human hands. The Cape of Good Hope has been considered a place that hasn’t changed much in the last 500 years, since the Portuguese explorer Bartolomeo Dias discovered it. The route around Cape Hope is important, but the waters next to it are still a known danger in the world. South of Cape Hope is an area with strong westerly winds, on the immense sea surface there is nothing to cover, so the waves are big Before the Suez Canal was built in 1869, the Cape of Good Hope was the only sea route between Europe and Asia. A lighthouse is built on top of a mountain 249 meters above sea level. However, it is often covered by clouds, so it has been decommissioned since 1911, after a shipwreck accident. This place is only open to tourists to enjoy the view. Another lighthouse was built as a replacement, just over 80 meters above sea level. Coming here, visitors’ emotions surged: the greatness, generosity, romance of nature; the gentleness, the blue, the charm of the sea; boundless love, hope, human creative labor. Cape of Good Hope is the most beautiful destination, not to be missed when coming to South Africa.

Around the world, distribution teams work hard to get the Covid-19 vaccine to the most remote locations. In areas not accessible by car, people have to resort to sleighs, drones, or even elephants, horses, and camels to deliver vaccines. “The effort to bring vaccines to every country in the world right now is unprecedented,” said Robin Nandy, UNICEF’s head of immunization.

Immunization plans are in disarray in many areas, many people still waiting for their turn to receive vaccines. In the most remote, inaccessible places, a time-race effort to deliver vaccines is underway. These are places, whether the virus has invaded or not, are not equipped with adequate medical equipment to respond in the event of a pandemic outbreak. Photo: AP.

In the icy plains of southern Alaska, the Yukon-Kuskokwim medical organization distribution team used sleighs to deliver vaccines to dozens of villages in the most remote, remote areas. Vaccine delivery efforts kicked off in December 2020, when temperatures ranged from -30 to -20 degrees Celsius, putting the vaccine at risk of freezing inside the needle. In the photo, the vaccine is taken to the village of Napakiak, Alaska. Photo: AP.

“People here are desperately waiting to get vaccinated. It’s thrilling to be able to do something for them, keep them safe,” said Dr. Ellen Hodges, head of the vaccine distribution team. To date, Yukon-Kuskokwim has helped distribute thousands of doses of vaccine to 47 villages in southern Alaska. In the photo, a resident of Great Cranberry Island, is vaccinated. Photo: AP.

In the most remote areas of the Indian state of Assam, the vaccine is delivered to the vaccination site by very rudimentary means. Bahakajari village has 9,000 people waiting to receive the vaccine. To get the vaccine here, the medical teams had to row a boat, and then walk. In the photo, people in Bahakajari take a boat to the vaccination site. Photo: AP.

In Brazil, remote Amazon communities face a huge logistical challenge, traveling by boat for hours to the vaccination sites. For them, access to vaccines is extremely important, because most communities have only minimal medical facilities, and are unable to effectively treat advanced Covid-19 cases. In the photo, the vaccine is transported by small ship in the Amazon. Photo: AP.

As in many other parts of the world, health workers in Brazil face the challenge of convincing people to overcome skepticism, believe in vaccine safety and accept vaccinations. “Vaccine hesitancy is a complex issue, so it is extremely important to have adequate information available to all walks of life,” said a spokesman for the Global Vaccine Alliance (GAVI). In the photo, a person in the Amazon is vaccinated. Photo: AP.

On islands off the northeast of the United States, going inland was once the best option for vaccination. Each trip usually takes one day of travel. The harsh winter weather made the situation worse, as it prevented sea-going vehicles from going out to sea for days. The lack of early access to vaccines makes people even more isolated because they cannot leave their homes. Photo: AP.

When teams of volunteers sent vaccines to remote islands, the people here seemed to be rescued. Vaccine provides an opportunity to help people restore a normal life. “We are very excited. This vaccine helps relieve the isolation we have suffered for so long,” said Lindsay Eysnogle, a teacher on Islesford Island, Maine. In the photo, people on Islesford Island celebrate when they receive the vaccine. Photo: AP.
