Mercadona has spent several months with price’s drop on all their products. This time, the supermarket company founded by Roig is focused on reducing the price of one of its star items, its serrano ham reserve. Once again, the Valencian company surprises its millions of customers with this discount. price drop is carried out like the rest. The quality of the product and the sustainability of the entire food chain continue to be ensured, including suppliers, the productive sector, the company and the workers.

In addition, the company is reducing the prices of fresh produce by taking advantage of the market opportunitiesAccording to the company, this measure will allow consumers save 200 million euros until the end of the year. However, it will have a negative impact on the company’s margin of -0.6 points, which will be added to the reduction of -1.1 points that had already been made since 2020 to reduce the significant increase in cost prices at origin and in the industry.

At the end of last year, it became known that Soyuzmultfilm, together with Nikita Mikhalkov’s Trite studio, was shooting a new version of the Soviet Bremen Town Musicians. Only now it will be a feature film, not a cartoon.

The new musical, as expected, will bring together many stars of modern cinema and television series. In particular, Yura Borisov (“Olga”, “Captain Volkonogov fled”, “Toro”), one of the most sought-after Russian artists now, “the new Sergei Bodrov”, was expected to take on the role of Gallo. But this did not happen. Either the brutal Reutov artist was trolled, or the shooting schedules could not be agreed, or the actor decided to take a break in the summer. In a word, instead of him, Askar Nigamedzyanov, a young artist with whom Yura worked on the series “Peace! Friendship! Gum!”.

In the same MJ series, Valentina Lyapina also played the main role with Nigametzyanov – in The Bremen Town Musicians, the girl will play the annoying princess.

And the role of the minstrel was entrusted to the star of the franchise “Major Grom” Tikhon Zhiznevsky. Slightly disheveled and cheeky, in a linen shirt he looks like a natural peasant.

Maria Aronova, who has lost a lot of weight, will play the charismatic Atamansha, the well-fed Sergey Burunov will play the King, and the brilliant Detective will play Konstantin Khabensky.

The role of the donkey, as KP wrote, will be played by Dmitry Dyuzhev; this image, unlike Yura Borisov, did not bother him at all.

The star of the TV series “Chiki” Irina Gorbacheva with deep plastic makeup (or rather, a mask) will play the Cat. And bodybuilder Roman Kurtsyn, who loves to get naked on every project, is Psa.

The remake was directed by Alexei Nuzhny (“I’m losing weight”, “Fire”, “Comments”). It is not yet known when the project will hit the big screens.

The project was prepared by the Department of Economic Development of the Voronezh Region. Its goal is to revive the historical ties between the four neighboring regions, develop cooperation between them in a wide range of areas, accelerate the integration of the DPR and LPR into the economic, political and legal space of the Russian Federation.

The Commonwealth format involves joint projects in trade and agriculture, investment and industrial cooperation, cooperation in environmental protection, science and sports.

The agreement on the creation of the Commonwealth of Donbass will help strengthen friendship and good neighborliness between residents of the participating regions, the government of the Voronezh region has noted.

It is planned to sign the document in August, at the celebrations in honor of the 80th anniversary of the Rostov region.

It is impossible not to be amazed at the fate of the people in the Donbass. And we cannot remain silent about them. They clear the brain and conscience, helping to understand why the Special Military Operation is being carried out.

After the death of her hero husband, who had been fighting in the Donbas since 2014, the young woman, who left with three children, dedicated herself to volunteer work and helping the fighters. And she took the call sign of her husband.

NON-FEMALE CALL SIGN

– Yana, why do you have such a call sign – “Student”? Not feminine…

That was my husband’s name. He was killed in action 8 months ago. He didn’t know how to go on living. But I was offered a job in the “Union of Soviet Officers” and told to take a call sign. I did not invent anything, I called my husband’s call sign. He stayed like that.

– What are you doing exactly?

– I do volunteer work. I help the wounded in hospitals. I bring you clothes, slippers; after all, they often cut off all their uniforms and underwear when they arrive at the hospital immobilized, but they need to be fully examined. They have nothing of their own. I bring them food. And in front for the guys – camouflage nets, trench sails. Many things are needed. More sick children: diapers, toys, books. I help older people with disabilities.

– Tell me about your husband.

– Kostya loved to read. The boys laughed at him because he was an eternal student. Hence such a call sign. He was an explorer. He passed “Azovstal”. He took out the mined boys. The Ukrainian Armed Forces often remove the bodies of our dead. If you try to take it off, you will explode… Since 2014, Kostya has been fighting without a vacation, he started with the Ghost unit, even when no money was paid. He suffered several injuries. On October 31 of last year, during the battle at Pavlovka, near Ugledar, he evacuated the wounded. And from the 9-story building they were hit with direct fire from a grenade launcher. Kostya was fired in a closed coffin. He was all broken. He was buried on the Walk of Fame next to Korsa. With an honor guard, with honors. He is a hero: he has three battle crosses. There were a lot of people, I didn’t expect it. crowded street.

LAST BUS TO CRIMEA

– You are from Slavyansk. How did it all begin?

– Yes, we saw everything from the beginning. My husband took the local SBU, defended the crossing to Semyonovka. I have male twins. And then she was pregnant with a girl. She was due to give birth on May 9. Then a plane was shot down over the city and we lived right next to it. There was an explosion, I ran out into the yard and my stomach dropped. They took me to the hospital. We passed through Semyonovka, and there were battles. All the injured were taken to the hospital where she was to give birth. They’re on the second floor in surgery, and the maternity ward on the third. The hospital was shelled, the automatic bursts did not stop. Lights and plumbing were cut off. So I lay down on the floor and sobbed: Didn’t know how she would give birth to her? And red lights flashed through the windows, sniper lasers.

– Were there Ukrainian snipers?

– Certainly! Ours did not have such weapons. At first, my husband only had a knife and a bat. Then the machine appeared.

– As I finish all?

– Thanks to the doctors, I gave birth. Water was found in tanks. I put on jeans, wrapped my daughter in a diaper, and my husband took me with my mother to the village, where my children were waiting. As soon as the bleeding stopped, I took the children and managed to catch the last bus to the Crimea. In Slavyansk then there was a battle. The cars were on fire, Motorola (the famous commander of the Sparta battalion – Ed.) was running, our guys were shooting. Kostya’s brother, now a lieutenant colonel, was later wounded in the arm. The husband stayed to fight.

The children help Yana collect food parcels for hospitals and the front.

“WE DO NOT ACCEPT WITH ANIMALS AND CHILDREN”

– Did you get to the Crimea?

– Imagine: I have two 4-year-old children with me, and I stood all the way, holding on with one hand, and rocking my daughter, the only way to calm her down. When we arrived, I got off the bus, I didn’t know what to do. I only have 114 hryvnias with me. I hold Ivan, he holds Ilya. I have Dasha and a pack of diapers in my hands. There was such a panic that my legs went numb. She joined the refugees who were taken to the Mayak sanatorium. Then I dyed my hair for the first time in my life, because it turned gray. We wander around long rented apartments. It was difficult to find accommodation, everywhere they said: “We do not accept animals and children”. For the rest, people treated us well, helped with the products. A year later, my husband took us.

– Where?

– He participated in the liberation of Debaltseve. When he finished the fight, he was released. We went to Voronezh and lived together for five months. Then he returned to the service, and I followed him to Donetsk, as the wife of a Decembrist. And now I don’t want to leave. My husband is buried here, I’m not going anywhere.

MOTHER STAYED ON “THAT” SIDE

– What was the most difficult thing during the years of moving?

– Realize that your home no longer exists. One was a parent, the second we bought ourselves. There was a direct hit on our house, it destroyed it. The father is still intact, but it is unlikely that it will be possible to return there.

– When did you realize that the situation was irreversible? That there will be no normal life?

– When at night in the maternity hospital he crawled on the floor to the bathroom under the rays of snipers. My children were sitting in the village with their mother and she did not know if she would see them again. At first we thought that the Maidan would rise and calm down. That will calm everyone down. And then in the hospital I fully understood everything.

– Did your mother stay on the “other” side? Ukrainian?

– I miss her. She is old. She lives in a town near a church. The old people lived there, in the basement of the church, hiding from the shelling. Icons were removed so they wouldn’t be stolen or broken…

– Waiting to see your mother when the fight is over?

– I don’t know. How will the Lord manage?

– Where you live now?

– In the bedroom. We can’t buy an apartment. They promised a payment after the death of her husband, but so far we have not received it.

– When you volunteer, do you feel that this is your fight, your contribution to victory?

– Certainly. If I have to do more, I will do more. Now I’m going to cook food for the fighters.

– Do you have enough time for children?

– They help me. They are used to work. The daughter is now 9 years old. The boys are 14 years old each. I try not to go to the front often to be closer to home. But every day I’m here at work completing and sending humanitarian aid. And the children are with me.

The department also mentioned the name of the detainee: Sergey Denisenko, born in 1959.

“During the arrest, a pistol with a silencer was found, from which, presumably, the homicide was committed,” said the Investigation Committee.

Earlier, the Investigative Committee reported that the operation to detain the suspect was carried out jointly by employees of the State Committee, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the FSB.

Stanislav Rzhitsky was killed the day before – an unknown person shot the man several times, after which he disappeared.

It is known that before joining the municipal service, Rzhitsky was a military man – he was the commander of the Krasnodar submarine.

His file is in the database of the scandalous Ukrainian website “Peacemaker”. After the death of the official, the note “liquidated” appeared on the card.

The CEO of Twitter, Linda Yaccarino, has defended the position of the social network owned by Elon Musk before the launch last week of Threads, the new ‘microblogging’ application with which Meta intends to become its main competitor. . “I don’t want to leave you hanging by a thread” month of February.

“Last week we had our busiest day since February. There’s only ONE Twitter. You know that. I know,” Yaccarino says. “I think we can reach an all-time high this week,” Elon Musk himself responded to Yaccarino’s initial tweet. Their comments come after the consulting firm Quiver Quantitative has estimated that Meta’s new platform would have exceeded 100 million users in just five days after its presentation.

I don’t want to leave you hanging by a thread… but Twitter, they really outdid themselves! Last week we had our busiest day since February. There is only ONE Twitter. You know it. I know. 🎤

— Linda Yaccarino (@lindayacc) July 10, 2023

Also, last week, just hours after Threads’ debut, a lawyer for X Corp, Elon Musk’s company that controls Twitter, threatened to sue Mark Zuckerberg’s company for appropriating trade secrets and intellectual property from the company for the development of its own platform. In a letter sent to Zuckerberg on behalf of X Corp by attorney Alex Spiro of the Quinn Emanuel law firm, the owner of Twitter accused Meta Platforms of carrying out “systematic, willful, and unlawful misappropriation of trade secrets and other property Twitter intellectual”.

X Corp’s lawyer alleges that the company that owns Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp hired dozens of former Twitter employees who “had and continue to have access to Twitter’s trade secrets and other highly confidential information” assigning them “deliberately” to develop in a matter of months of the ‘Threads’ application, which he calls an “imitation”. “Twitter reserves all rights, including, but not limited to, the right to seek civil and injunctive relief without further notice to prevent Meta from further retaining, disclosing, or using its intellectual property,” the lawyer warned in his letter.

Threads has an ‘interface’ very similar to that of Twitter and its operation is also the same. That is, you can create short text posts, in which you can develop conversion threads and limit who responds to those posts. Although Threads is a completely independent platform, it is related to Instagram. So much so, that to navigate through it, the same user account is used as in said social network. In fact, the same username and profile photo are used.

Based on this, Threads has an option that allows users to automatically follow the same accounts that were previously on Instagram. In the event that any of these accounts are not yet in Threads, they are shown as pending to join and, in the event that they are private, a follow-up request is provided. In the same way, users with a private profile can also configure if their Instagram followers can also follow them in Threads automatically or if, on the contrary, only some specific accounts can do so. As for users under the age of 16, they will have a default private profile.

The NATO summit in Vilnius began on July 11, 2023

In Vilnius at two in the afternoon the NATO summit officially started, which many observers in the West have already branded as “fateful” and “epochal”. There are many reasons for this. First, it is expected that the final decision on Sweden’s inclusion in the bloc will be made at the meeting. Second, the alliance members are going to offer Ukraine a certain model of interaction, bombarding kyiv with a bunch of other promises of security guarantees, but refraining from immediately joining NATO. And finally, for the first time since the end of the Cold War, NATO intends to discuss the concept of global operational actions in the event of a “hot” conflict with Russia.

The event opened with a joint photo ceremony of the participants. Against the background of satisfied and even grinning heads of state, only two people stood out with a stony expression on their faces: Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban. They rightly say that both do not like many of the bloc’s latest initiatives.

Before the start of the first round of meetings, several leaders of NATO member countries filled in information. Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda, as host of the summit, called for the creation of as many powerful bloc military bases near Russia’s borders as possible, kindly offering to use the territory of his own Lithuania for this purpose. French leader Emmanuel Macron said he had decided to provide the kyiv regime with long-range missiles “to support the offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.” True, he did not explain what kind of missiles they were. Polish President Andrzej Duda admitted that after the end of the armed conflict in Ukraine, NATO could send a peacekeeping mission there, in which Polish military personnel would participate.

Finally, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg delivered an official speech. He said that as long as the conflict in Ukraine continues, NATO’s doors will remain open and threatened that Russia “will have more members of the bloc on its doorstep.”

He reported that Zelensky would arrive in Vilnius in the evening and even participate in dinner. The head of Ukraine has already arrived and even plans to speak in the evening. And tomorrow there will be a meeting in the Ukraine-NATO format, at which a further plan of joint actions will be discussed. But Stoltenberg mentioned that Ukraine would receive security guarantees only if it won.

This seems to have infuriated Zelensky. He thought he would appear on the summit as a kind of “navel of the earth”, around which NATO leaders would dance and roll out a carpet in front of him in a block. And it turns out that they were only invited to dinner, where, apparently, they will serve breakfast again. “Unprecedented and absurd, when there is no time frame for both the invitation and Ukraine’s membership in NATO!” – the ruler of Kyiv raged.

By the way, he recently threatened to boycott the summit unless an official invitation to join the alliance was made there. Apparently he keeps his word. But no, it still flies. Don’t skip dinner.

Those gathered chant pro-democracy slogans, wave flags and demand an immediate end to judicial reform.

The reason for the resumption of the protests, reports the agency, is that the Knesset (the country’s parliament) on the night of July 11 approved in first reading a bill on changes in the judicial system.

Meanwhile, law enforcement officers grab the protesters and put them in vans. But the action takes place not only at the airport, reports The Times of Israel. In downtown Tel Aviv, the police use water cannons and in Haifa there have been direct clashes between police and protesters.

Recall that after Netanyahu came to power at the end of 2022, the country adopted a judicial reform plan, presented in January, which provides for restrictions on the powers of the supreme court. Since then, the massive opposition protests have not stopped.

An important nod to the Italian families of the right-wing government of the Italian Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni. As of next July 18, you will obtain a prepaid card, for an amount of 382.50 euros, for low-income families so that they can purchase basic food. This is one of the measures included in the Budget Law and seeks to alleviate the current high inflation. For this, the Meloni executive estimates a disbursement of 500 million euros and up to 1.4 million families benefited.

The card, which has been baptized under the name “Dedicated to you”, will be distributed by the Post Office after the presentation of the documentation found to the families that are entitled. That is, those that do not exceed 15,000 euros in the Isee. This is the Italian namesake of the Spanish Multiple Effects Public Income Indicator (IPREM). Both indices serve as a reference for the granting or not of social assistance. Specifically, the Isee in Italy is an instrument that is also used to indicate the economic situation and takes into account income and assets, among other factors, and they do not receive other social assistance.

The aid will reach Italian families in a context of disinflation, which in June marked a rate of 6.5% year-on-year while it had been 7.6% the previous month, continuing its decline, especially as the price of energy fell not regulated, according to the National Institute of Statistics (Istat).

Meloni has defended in a video that “we present an initiative that particularly concerns the 1,300,000 families who have the greatest difficulties in acquiring basic necessities, the famous shopping cart. We have invested 500 million euros to help these families” .

For his part, the Minister of Economy, Giancarlo Giorgietti, stated that “the tools to combat inflation are also other and there is not only monetary policy”. Giorgietti has added that “inflation has a greater impact on less favored families” and for this reason “the Government has decided to intervene in the two energy factors and food products”.

The measure has received the applause of the largest agricultural association in the country, Coldiretti. “We are experiencing the highest food inflation in 40 years and in fact families have been forced to reduce the amount of food purchased by 4.7% with direct effects on national agri-food production,” they observed.

“At first, when we still lived on the same territory with my mother and niece, he himself offered to divorce us through MFC, but then he changed his mind. Maybe to get back at me,” Daria shared. – The fact is that last year I kicked him out of the department. As a result, I had to get a divorce through the courts: in February of this year, I sent the documents. But the first attempt was unsuccessful due to the fault of the employees who did not update the details to pay the state tax.”

Then Daria, together with her mother, began to move to a new apartment, and returned to the topic of divorce only at the beginning of the summer. Since Nekrasova blocked Vengrzhanovsky on all messengers, her mother-in-law contacted Wentz and offered a peaceful divorce, which was refused.

“He sent an angry SMS in which he wrote that he did not have time to do this, they say, demand,” Daria continues. -I understand that she does it on purpose to annoy. Just the other day, I resubmitted the documents to the court.

Wentz is a very angry, negative and toxic person. It led me to nervous exhaustion. Even those health problems I suffered from as a teenager have gotten worse. I can say one thing: without the help of specialists, he would not have survived.

I think that after the festival, Loh village will become everyone’s favorite place! – said Salakhova Tatyana, who graduated from the 9th grade.

The festival is free for residents of the village of Lokh and the village of Novye Burasy, everyone else must buy tickets.

Let’s remember that from July 14 to 18, the Gorki Park in Moscow will be partially closed. This is due to the installation and holding of VK Fest. We talk about it in more detail here.

When renting an apartment, it is very common for both the tenant and the owner to have doubts about the possibility of changing the lock on the rented apartment. It is important to clarify this doubt before moving in to take the necessary measures and guarantee the safety of the home. Since there is a concern that other people have lived in that house, they may have copies of the keys to the lock. Are you about to move into a new rental house or have you been living in the same place for a while, but want to improve security by changing the lock? These are the legal obligations of the landlord and the rights of the tenant with respect to changing the lock in a rented property.

In the field of housing rentals, the change of locks can be an ambiguous matter. Is it the responsibility of the owner or the tenant? According to the Urban Leasing Law (LAU), and various court rulings, the answer may be more complex than it seems. Landlord and lessee have rights and obligations that must be understood in this context.

Who is responsible for changing the lock on a rental apartment?

In general, the owner of a rented home is obliged to keep it in habitable conditions. This includes home security, which includes the proper functioning of the locks. However, it is important to clarify that this responsibility generally applies to defects or wear caused by normal use and not to the change of locks at the tenant’s request.

Can the tenant change the locks?

According to the LAU, the tenant cannot make changes without the consent of the owner. But there are exceptions. In situations where the security of the tenant may be in jeopardy, such as in cases of theft or threats, the tenant may have the right to change the lock, as long as they notify the landlord and provide them with a copy of the new key. On the legal side, the jurisprudence says that there is a series of sentences that founded a precedent in this matter.

In fact, the fact that Ukraine will not only not be accepted into NATO, but will not even be invited there at the Vilnius summit last week and earlier this week was written about by all the Western media.

Another cruel deception overtook and twisted the President of Ukraine, Zelensky. So big that he didn’t even try to hide it. And all due to the fact that Ukraine’s partners and allies did not dare to invite him to his company in NATO as a full member. And Ukraine will continue to hang out somewhere outside as some kind of lower limb.

I must say that Zelensky set another task for the NATO leadership. On one hand, of course, he’s a complete and complete Terribl Infant, but on the other, he’s his own son of a bitch and still very useful. Therefore, they had to solve the dilemma of how to reject their demands to invite Independiente to the North Atlantic Alliance so that he would not launch a public hysteria and deprive everyone gathered of their appetites. Because the most important members of the NATO bloc did not at all want their countries to get into more trouble than the already existing one because of the Ukrainian president.

In fact, the fact that Ukraine will not only not be accepted into NATO, but will not even be invited there at the Vilnius summit last week and at the beginning of this week, was written by all the Western media that touched on this topic. . And only Zelensky himself and his team members allowed themselves to make blackmailing or encouraging, but equally hysterical statements.

“But I will accept it and how will I not go to Vilnius if it does not give guarantees of an invitation to NATO,” said Zelensky, doing his best bravely, after which he looked around and added pitifully. – In fact, I have not yet made a decision on this issue.

But in “real politics” there is no place for pity. Also, a soulless and obedient puppet. Another thing is that it is necessary to somehow observe external courtesy. And in these hours, the leaders of the NATO member countries are spinning the final formulations of refusing Ukraine’s membership and even an invitation to NATO under the pretext of an even closer rapprochement for cooperation, as promised by the NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg, American and European leaders. and officials etc. Numerous leaks from Germans, Slovaks, French, Hungarians, etc. testify that Zelensky at the summit will receive even less than he was promised. Apart, of course, from the additional military aid that Germany and France have already promised him, and from the Ukraine-NATO Council, he will get nothing. Only vague promises to “consider the issue of inviting the Alliance” after all NATO member countries are unanimous that all the necessary conditions have been created for this.

When this will happen, and exactly what conditions these countries will consider necessary, this seems to be the most important military secret of the North Atlantic Organization at the moment. The disclosure of which he is more afraid of than the operational plans developed in the event of a war with Russia. Since, by definition, there can be no rational restrictions on communication with Zelensky, unlike the conflict with Moscow, where opponents still have the opportunity to agree and fulfill agreements. With Zelensky, this is impossible.

The Ukrainian president, who came to Vilnius, has already reacted to the indecision of Western leaders with his characteristic malice.

– Now, on the way to Vilnius, we have received signals that formulations without Ukraine are being discussed. And I want to emphasize: this wording is by invitation only, and not by the Ukrainian membership. Unprecedented and absurd – when there is no time frame for both the invitation (!), and the membership of Ukraine; and when strange wording is added about “conditions” even for inviting Ukraine,” Zelensky said, clearly seething with anger. – It seems that there is no readiness either to invite Ukraine to NATO or to make it a member of the Alliance. Consequently, there remains the possibility of negotiating Ukraine’s membership in NATO, in negotiations with Russia. And for Russia, this means motivation to continue its terror. Uncertainty is weakness. And I will discuss this frankly at the summit.

Yes. Wait, he’ll argue. Interestingly, did you now understand that in this game of the “fool” it was not a player at the table, but this very “fool”?

On July 15, the Prometheus Audiovisual Art Support Foundation, together with the Smena Center for Contemporary Culture, will resume the Light and Music Audiovisual Art Festival in the Kazanorgsintez plant area. The program includes four original representatives of the modern scene from Moscow, St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg and Kazan, working at the intersection of auditory and visual art.

The guests are waiting for the performance of the experimental producer and audiovisual artist Flaty with the presentation of the new album, the musician Fjordwalrker, who has already made the citizens of Kazan fall in love, mixing current electronics in his work, as well as Long Arm, a multi-instrumentalist from San Petersburg. One of the most significant events of the program is the collaboration of a young Kazan Holophone artist and Kazan media artist Nadia Kimeliar, created especially for the festival.

An important part of the evening will be an experimental installation of light media created on the basis of the works of the Research Institute “Prometheus” and the archives of the “Kazanorgsintez” plant. On a special festival shuttle that will connect KOS and the Smena Center for Contemporary Culture, you will be able to listen to the one-episode podcast “How the synthesis of light and sound changed 20th century art”, recorded by the musician, journalist and author from the Planettronics Nick Zavriev podcast.

As part of the festival, Shining Record Store will present a special selection of Electrochemical, which will include the latest releases from national independent labels and iconic electronic music albums. “Light and Music” will officially restart the first Soviet audiovisual festival, which was organized by the employees of the Research Institute of Experimental Aesthetics “Prometheus” in Kazan in the years 1960-1990.

Previously, VK Music Summer Stage published the July program. Guests are looking forward to performances by Ishome, ssshhhiiittt!, Saluki and Mayot. We talk about it in more detail here.

The European Parliament (EP) has given its final endorsement this Tuesday to the European Chip Law with which the European Union seeks to double its production of semiconductors to cover 20% of world manufacturing and thus reduce its dependence on Asia for some components key in technological development, reports EFE. MEPs also gave their support with 587 votes in favour, 10 against and 38 abstentions to the political agreement reached in April with the Member States on the law. In this way, the new legislation may enter into force when the countries also give the green light, foreseeably at the end of summer.

In the debate prior to the vote, the Romanian Social Democrat Dan Nica pointed out that “our goal is to strengthen the EU’s position in the global semiconductor landscape and attack the vulnerabilities in supply chains exposed by the pandemic.”

The law, organized into three pillars, plans to increase the capacity to manufacture chips in European territory, including cutting-edge ones, consolidate European leadership in semiconductor research and promote the transfer of these innovations to the market, as well as better monitoring of supply chains. supplies to anticipate and respond to crises. It will be endowed with 3,300 million euros from the European budget, but the European Commission calculates that it will make it possible to mobilize some 43,000 million euros of investment by attracting other publications, for example from the post-pandemic recovery fund, and private ones.

Reduce dependence on Taiwan and South Korea

The European Union (EU) hopes to reduce its dependence on Taiwan and South Korea, which have almost a world duopoly in the manufacture of chips – they produce 100% of the most advanced ones – and enter the global race to boost a sector at that China, the United States and Japan will allocate billion-dollar subsidies in the coming years. To increase the manufacture of chips, the European law provides for the identification of “first of its kind” factories due to their production processes or their level of innovation, which will benefit from additional public aid and accelerated administrative procedures.

These may include those that will produce chip-making equipment, a sector where the EU has leading companies. Also benefiting from additional public support are those chip design centers that receive a seal of “excellence.” On the other hand, in order to favor research in next-generation chips and the release of innovations to the market, the law provides for the creation of pilot lines in which they experiment with advanced semiconductors to which they have priority access to large factories, as well as how to support the development of quantum chips and make it easier for small businesses to obtain financing.

The European Commissioner for Industry, Thierry Breton, has pointed out that “there were times when Europe only invested in research and relocated production: that time is over now. We need massive investments in our industrial base.” In this regard, Breton said that “it is not only a matter of competitiveness, but of security and technological sovereignty.”

The regulation will also approve a coordination mechanism between the European Commission and the States to monitor supply chains in order to anticipate supply problems and take emergency measures in the event of a crisis. In this scenario, Brussels could require companies to provide information on the situation of their production, “first of its kind” factories would be obliged to give priority to orders that the EU considers relevant to respond to the crisis, and the European Commission could buy chips on behalf of Twenty-seven.

Sanctions of up to 300,000 euros

Companies that fail to comply would face sanctions of up to 300,000 euros for not providing information or periodic fines of up to 1.5% of their daily turnover for not respecting priority orders.

North China literally melts in record heat

Climate change has become almost the main topic of all the world’s media. In recent weeks, the stubbornness of time has been felt with special force, and throughout the planet.

CHINESE PEOPLE

One of the hardest hit regions was the Celestial Empire, namely North China, which is literally melting due to record heat, exacerbated by drought. According to the Chiang Rai Times, according to the National Climate Center, in Beijing, for more than nine days in a row, the air temperature exceeded 35 degrees, which is a record since 1961.

Last Thursday, forecasters issued a warning of a severe drought in northern China that threatens crops and threatens to spin an already overburdened power infrastructure as heat-stricken people turn on their air conditioners to burn gigawatts of electricity.

At the same time, the heat waves in the north come against the backdrop of severe flooding in southern China, which in recent weeks has forced thousands of people to flee their homes.

Over the past week, cities including Hangzhou on China’s east coast, Wuhan in the center of the country and Shijiazhuang near Beijing have decided to use cold-war-era bomb shelters to combat the elements. Now, during the “hot war” against heat, bunkers provide an opportunity for citizens to hide from the heat.

However, this practice is not new, and many hostels already have places to stay, offering water, drinks, medicine, and in some cases even luxuries like Wi-Fi, TVs, and table tennis equipment.

One of the hardest hit regions was the Celestial Empire.

In recent years, heat waves in China have become more frequent and intense. The main reason for this is believed to be climate change combined with local weather patterns and urban growth.

SLIDING SAMURAI

But in China’s eastern neighbor Japan, the element has taken the form of destructive downpours. As a result, according to The Guardian, six people died and three more went missing after the “heaviest rain in history” triggered floods and landslides in the south-west of the country.

The local weather agency warned residents of Kyushu, one of Japan’s four main islands, to stay alert in case of new landslides, which usually occur in mountainous areas after heavy rains.

According to meteorologist Satoshi Sugimoto, “This is the heaviest rain ever observed in this region, the situation is such that people’s lives are at risk and their safety must be guaranteed.”

In recent years, Japan has been hit by unusually strong storms and powerful typhoons that have killed dozens of people. For example, in 2021, a landslide at the Atami hot springs killed 27 people, and in 2018, in the west of the Land of the Rising Sun, during the rainy season, more than 200 people died. as a result. of the rampant elements.

INDIAN DANCE UNDER THE RAIN

India also had a hard time, because in the country, due to the heavy rains of the last 20 years, many people have also died. The rains triggered flash floods and mudslides that killed at least 22 people, mostly in the northern state of Himachal Pradesh, CNN reports.

The Indian Meteorological Service said 153mm of rain fell in New Delhi on Sunday, making it the wettest day in July since 1982. Authorities warned of the highest threat levels in the northern Himachal states. Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab and Haryana. Landslide warnings have also been issued for Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh.

There is no need to wait for the elements to weaken as India is now in the midst of the rainy season which can last from April to September. Last month, nearly half a million people in the north-east of the country were affected by severe flooding following heavy storms, while in the west, Cyclone Biparjoy (translated as “ay” in Bengali) turned roads into rivers and inundated villages. whole.

India had a hard time too

Paradoxically, the country was also hit by a heat wave that same summer, indicating that the inhabitants of the world’s most populous country are among the most vulnerable to the effects of the climate crisis.

AFRICAN SNOW

And now we are going to move thousands of kilometers to another continent and another hemisphere: to South Africa. On Monday, residents of the country’s largest city, Johannesburg, were stunned by the first snowfall in ten years.

In Johannesburg, snow was last seen in August 2012, and before that in 2007. On social media, city residents called the snowfall “pure magic” and “a great start to the week.” Some children have never seen this weather phenomenon at all.

University of the Witwatersrand physical geography professor Jennifer Fitchett told South African newspaper The Times the snowfall was caused by high humidity, low temperatures and cold winds and was unlikely to last.

“This happens once every 10 years or so. We are not a region where there is a lot of snow, and this is partly because we have dry winters. We get very little rain during the winter months, so there’s not a lot of moisture in the air,” Fitchett said.

“I recently visited Shebekino and was able to ensure that a high level of people’s safety was largely achieved through timely evacuation and early information to the population about possible shelling,” he wrote on his Telegram channel.

Since April 11, 2022, a high (yellow) terrorist threat level has been set for the entire Belgorod region. The regime was introduced due to the aggravation of the situation on the Ukraine-Russia border and the increased activity of the Ukrainian army in the border areas. Shebekinsky and Grayvoronsky districts were especially affected.

The Singaporean sovereign wealth fund Temasek has closed its 2023 financial year, which ended last March, with a return of -5.07%, after the positive return of 5.81% the previous year, which is the worst result of the investment vehicle since 2016. according to data published this Tuesday. In his last financial year, which was affected by fiascoes such as his investment in the FTX cryptocurrency platform, the net value of Temasek’s portfolio experienced a 5.2% drop, to 382,000 million Singapore dollars (258,162 million euros). .

Thus, at the end of the fiscal year, Temasek posted a net loss of 7,000 million Singapore dollars (4,700 million euros), compared to the net profit of 11,000 million Singapore dollars (7,434 million euros) in the previous year. “In the last year, we have found ourselves with persistent multiple inflation despite rate hikes by central banks,” said the entity, which attributes the marked change in the globalization process, which has been the mainstay of world growth in the last 20 years, to the intensification of geopolitical tensions, together with the rise of nationalism and protectionism.

“The confluence of these events, not seen in decades, has raised the cost of capital and weighed down capital flows,” Temasek explained, adding that these circumstances also affected the pace of the energy transition, given a greater demand for security and energy resilience. Temasek’s portfolio remained anchored in Asia, with an exposure of 63%, with a prominent presence in Singapore (28%) and China (22%), while in America the exposure reached 21%. The underlying exposure to developed economies, including Singapore, North America, Europe, and Australia & New Zealand was 64%, compared to 58% in 2013.

In this sense, the entity has plans to open a new office in Paris to expand its global presence in geographies where it appreciates the opportunity to allocate significant capital for growth. “Our new Paris office will complement our London and Brussels offices to strengthen Temasek’s global network and grow our talent pool in Europe and, in particular, the European Union, as well as extend our reach into the Middle East regions. and Africa,” the fund explained.

Threat of recession in developed economies

Looking ahead, Temasek has announced that the global economy remains fragile amid geopolitical developments such as US-China tensions and the effects of the Russia-Ukraine war, while monetary policy remains tight to world level with high interest rates while inflation remains high. “Global growth is likely to slow down,” the fund has indicated, for which recession risks “loom in key developed markets”, which could be exacerbated by events such as the recent episode of banking stress, which resulted in a slowdown in loan growth, particularly in the US.

“We maintain a cautious investment stance and expect to invest at a moderate pace this financial year, given the challenging macroeconomic environment,” said Rohit Sipahimalani, Temasek’s chief investment officer. However, the executive has stressed that, given the fund’s strong liquidity position, Temasek is ready to increase its investments in the event of a market correction.

Professor Safonov called low wages the main reason for the prosecution of Russians.

Most of the time, vendors, teachers, and doctors complain about big overtime. And in total, 56% of Russians are late for work and work almost a third more than it should be under the terms of the employment contract. These results were obtained by researchers from the high-paying job search portal SuperJob.

It turns out that if a typical workday lasts 8 hours, for more than half of the workers it lasts almost 2 and a half hours longer! However, since Soviet times, it has been practiced among teachers and health workers to take another quarter or half of the fee in addition to the main one. But if all workers are now paid for overtime work – the study says nothing. “We are talking about processing in general,” SuperJob explained to kp.ru.

The duration of the processing this year has increased slightly compared to the previous one: 31% compared to 28% of the working day. But the number of people putting in more than half of their working hours has increased significantly: from 10% in 2022 and 2021 to 14% in 2023. Only a third of Russians do not experience overtime. And another interesting point: the higher the salary, the less overtime.

What are the reasons for so much work?

– Let’s start with the fact that our country is one of the countries with the most workers in the world, – Alexander Safonov, a professor at the Financial University of the Government of the Russian Federation, told kp.ru. – We have always been among the top five countries with the most working hours. In a year, a Russian works 600 hours more than, for example, a German.

Why is this happening? The expert identified three reasons.

“The main reason for overwork is low wages,” Safonov said. – To earn more money, people agree to do extra work. And the employer thus saves on personnel.

This is also confirmed by research. Among those who spend more time at work than expected are teachers, educators, nurses, secretaries, pharmacists, salespeople, that is, people with low salaries.

For the sake of money, pieceworkers, for example purchasing managers, are also prosecuted.

“The second reason for overtime is staff shortages,” Safonov continued. – In particular, there are not enough doctors; because of this, existing specialists are forced to work more.

And the third factor, according to the scientist, is the poor organization of work.

– Unfortunately, since the times of the Soviet Union, the availability of cheap labor has led to its irrational use. Safonov says. – But now the situation with labor productivity is improving, although not in all industries. First of all, it grows where companies find the opportunity to invest in the scientific organization of work, as well as in companies involved in the national project “Labor Productivity”.

However, in general, the processing will not decrease. And that’s why.

– First of all, we have a growing shortage of personnel, – said Safonov. – And the second – the fall in previous years in the real income of the population causes a desire to compensate them – for which people will agree to work.

The study involved 3,000 employed representatives of the economically active population from all districts of the country.

“I am glad what I see in the Valaam monastery,” RIA Novosti quotes him. – I sincerely thank Viceroy Vladyka and all the brothers for the work they are doing.

According to the patriarch, the monastery “is improving a lot” and the number of people, after all the difficulties caused by the restriction of movement during the coronavirus pandemic, is not decreasing.

“Some, indeed, weaned from the temple of God,” said the patriarch. – And in some parishes there is a decrease in attendance. I did not see this decline here, in the land of Valaam.

He wished that “no circumstances deprive us of the love of God and do not lead us away from communion with the Lord,” and awarded the vicar of the Valaam Monastery, Bishop Pankratii of the Trinity, with the Order of the Church of Saint Innocent. , Metropolitan of Moscow and Kolomna, II degree.

Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the St. Andrew the First-Called Foundation Vladimir Yakunin was awarded the Order of the Church of St. Innocent, Metropolitan of Moscow and Kolomna, I degree.

It should be remembered that Patriarch Kirill visits Valaam on July 10 and 11, days when the memory of Saint Sergius and Brother of Valaam is celebrated.

Ferrovial was awarded this Tuesday the construction of a 700-meter viaduct over the Ebro River through which the platform of the Zaragoza-Pamplona high-speed line will pass, for an import of 58.8 million euros. The work is expected to last for 3 and a half years, as explained by the group chaired by Rafael del Pino in a statement.

This tender is part of the future Cantabrian-Mediterranean rail corridor, which will connect the Mediterranean area with the Atlantic coast, allowing the connection between these two coastal areas without the need to cross the center of the peninsula.

The development of the viaduct, 14 meters wide, will take place on land located in the municipalities of Valtierra and Castejón, in Navarra. and will be compatible with the European rail network.

Approved by the authorities

The construction of the viaduct, as well as the connection platform with the Zaragoza-Pamplona line in its Castejón-Comarca de Pamplona section, has been planned in coordination with the Foral Government of Navarra, the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Food and Environment, the municipalities of Valtierra and Castejón, Red Electrica and companies with facilities located in the area.

The menu, together with the chef Yuri Golovym, was made by Tatyana Bulanova herself, who cooks well. First of all, of my favorite Italian dishes. There is also a lot of culinary exoticism in it, unusual for the northern capital.

The singer visits the restaurant in her spare time from touring and concerts, although she has an office there. She herself monitors what is happening in the “Gastronomy in a new way”, and sometimes comes here to eat with her family.

At the same time, initially the idea for Bulanova was just the opening of a family restaurant. And in the future – and a new chain of restaurants.

Direct speech

Tatyana Bulanova, singer, restaurateur:

– My favorite is the strawberry soup with cold Prosecco. It gives it so much sweetness, and Prosecco (sour, low-alcohol Italian sparkling wine – Approx. ed.) balances it all out. I also really like all the sandwiches with bread. But my top is pasta with crab. I always order it myself.

BURO columnist. Anna Popova confirms: Remarque is not only “Three Comrades” and “All Quiet on the Western Front”, and in Dostoevsky’s work there was even a place for comic stories. This summer we are studying little-known works of Russian and foreign classics.

Charlotte Bronte

“City”

You must have read Jane Eyre. The Town was published six years later, and the two novels are similar in many ways. The narration here is also carried out on behalf of the main character, a kind and honest orphan Lucy Snow, who teaches English to girls in a boarding house. Lucy is a strong, upright and independent girl, especially considering the era that she attributes to meek and docile women. Of course, there was a love line and even a triangle, but not at all with such a happy ending as in the story of little Jane.

William Golding

“heirs”

According to critics, the novel continues and expands on the “Lord of the Flies” idea, only instead of British children trying to survive on a deserted island, the ancients battle the elements and evil within and without. themselves. . Furthermore, those tribes that are at a higher stage of intellectual development cannot boast of moral development.

lev tolstoy

“Berries”

Most of us are familiar with Tolstoy’s work on War and Peace and other works in the school curriculum. Much less well known is the story of noble demagogues who, over a hearty five-course meal, talk about the fate of the people. In its form, Berries is intended to be a rustic children’s story, which makes Tolstoy’s irony seem even more fiery, and the difference between an overstuffed barchuk and simple peasant children is as tangible as possible.

George Orwell

“Gallardo Pounds in Paris and London”

“1984” and “Animal Farm”, you most likely have read, but this book is unlikely. Paris and London can be dirty and unwelcoming when you live in a rooming house and do odd jobs. In this autobiographical novel about a hard life among people who have sunk to the bottom, aspiring writer Eric Arthur Blair wouldn’t even sign his own name and came up with the pen name George Orwell.

Fedor Dostoevsky

“Funny Stories”

If you think that Dostoevsky is a heavy, gloomy and depressing writer, this collection will change your mind. The author of Crime and Punishment and The Brothers Karamazov in the funniest way can tell a vaudeville story about a jealous husband and depict a fight in the cards of two friends.

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

“Citadel”

Not just The Little Prince! The last unfinished work of Exupery is called the pinnacle of his artistic philosophy. The book has no plot as such. Rather, it is a collection of parables and reflections, not always easy to understand, but wise and inspiring.

Michael Bulgakov

“The Life of Monsieur de Molière”

The novelized biography of the son of a royal upholsterer, the great French playwright, addresses Bulgakov’s favorite themes: love, talent and mediocrity, courage and cowardice, the relationship between a creative and those in power, and, of course, literature and theater. .

Erich Maria Remarque

“Episodes on the Desk”

Known primarily as an author of novels, Remarque also wrote stories, not just psychological and historical, but even science fiction. Not all of his early works are considered successful by critics, some have logical inconsistencies and semantic inaccuracies, but it is worth reading them at least to understand how the writer’s creative path began.

Dmitri Likhachev

“Notes and Observations”

The “Letters on Kindness” by Academician Likhachev are much more famous. The “Notes and Observations” collection includes texts from his notebooks, created at different times. In them, the author discusses not only science, but also what is happening around him and how he should be a person.

Virginia Woolf

“Nanny Lagton’s Curtain”

You’ve probably read Mrs. Dalloway in Wolfe. We also recommend this piece. A sheet with a short fairy tale about a nanny who fell asleep while embroidering was accidentally discovered in the archives of the British Museum. In Russia, the book was recently published, with vivid illustrations depicting a nanny and magical beasts.

The European Parliament has given the green light this Tuesday to the new regulations on recharging infrastructure for the energy transition in transport, which provides for plugs for electric cars on the main transport routes every 60 kilometers, for trucks every 120 kilometers and hydrogen tanks every 200 km. The charging points will have to extend through the TEN-T network and have a minimum power of 400 kilowatts (kW) in 2026 and 800 kW in 2028, informed the European Parliament in a statement collected by Efe.

The charging stations for trucks and buses will have to be installed on half of the main roads in the EU by 2028, with an initial power of 1,400 kW that will go up to 2,800 kW depending on the road, reaching a charging point at least every 200 kilometers by 2031.

‘green’ transition

The new rules, designed to facilitate the transition to zero-emission vehicles, the only ones that can be marketed in the EU from 2035, also make room for hydrogen, requiring hydrogen generators every 200 kilometers on the main roads.

“The Use of More Sustainable, Renewable, and Efficient Energy Solutions The TRANSPORTATION SECTOR WILL HELP REDUCE GREENHOUSE EMISSIONS AND AIR POLLUTION, Improve the Quality of Life of Citizens, and Create New High-Quality Jobs,” said the chief negotiator of the file in the European Parliament, the Bulgarian Social Democrat Petar Vitanov.

The European Parliament approved by 514 votes in favor, 52 against and 74 abstentions the file on Alternative Fuels Infrastructure. And it also validated the new regulations on Sustainable Maritime Fuels by 55 yeses 48 noes and 25 abstentions to acquire official status.

About shipping

The second text seeks to promote more ecological maritime fuels, requiring ships to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions in the energy they use. Ships weighing more than 5,000 tons of cargo, which are responsible for 90% of CO2 emissions from the maritime sector, will be required to reduce 2% in 2025, compared to 2020, and 80% aa from 2050.

Those requirements will apply “to all energy used on board in or between EU ports, as well as 50% of energy used on voyages where the port of departure or arrival is outside the EU or in the regions outermost regions of the EU”, specified the Eucorámara.

They will be used “to all the energy used on board in or between EU ports”

In addition, and from 2030, while they are moored in dock, they will have to run on electricity and will have to carry at least 2% of renewable fuels of biological origin (RFNBO, for its acronym in English) if by 2031 the European Commission detects that these account for less than 1% of refueling.

“The new rules reinforced, by far, the most ambitious path in the world to decarbonise maritime transport,” stressed the rapporteur for the text in the European Parliament, the popular Swede Jörgen Warborn, who assured that the new regulations make “Europe a pioneer in creating demand for sustainable fuels and fostering innovation”.

Once the Council has approved both laws, the alternative fuels infrastructure rules will be used from six months after they come into force, and the sustainable marine fuels rules will be used from January 1, 2025.

Angelina Jolie filed a new lawsuit against Brad Pitt for the “looting” of a common business

The once passionately adored star couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie continue no less emotional proceedings in court. For several years now, the stumbling block has been the actor’s favorite creation – the French castle Chateau Miraval.

For the first time Pitt and Jolie saw the estate in the spring of 2007 during a vacation in the south of France, then they chose Chateau Miraval among a dozen estates. For the castle, the star couple shelled out almost $28 million.

Brad Pitt, with the enthusiasm of a retired vacationer, set about arranging a new farm: he installed 30 projectors, installed a mini-zoo, furnished the house with designer furniture. At the same time, he invited a specialist who took up the development of vineyards. Le Figaro even included Miraval Côtes de Provence rosé on its Provençal wine list.

The castle belonged to the couple in a ratio of 60% – Pitt and 40% – Jolie. The couple agreed in advance that they would not sell their shares without mutual consent. But in October 2021, the actress sold her stake in the winery through Nouvel, through which she owned part of the vineyards, to Tenute del Mondo. That, in turn, is a “daughter” of the Stoli Group, owned by Russian wine and vodka businessman Yuri Shefler. He owns such trademarks as Stolichnaya, Moskovskaya, Rgas Melnais Balzams.

Brad Pitt did not have a relationship with the new co-owner, the actor accused him of not being able to enter his own mansion, interfering with the production of wine and generally doing all sorts of dirty tricks. Not wanting to endure such a stab in the back from his ex-wife, the Hollywood star sued Jolie. And a year later, Angelina and her former investment firm Nouvel decided to respond. Brad Pitt is accused of spending millions of dollars on completely stupid and vain projects.

“Including more than $1 million in swimming pool repairs,” the lawsuit says. “He rebuilt the stairs four times and spent a lot of money rebuilding the recording studio.”

The suit also alleges that Pitt behaved like a “disgruntled child” after Jolie failed to sell her share of the business to him. Lawyers criticized the actor for calling himself a winemaker, stating that he “deals in wishful thinking, not grapes.”

After Jolie sold her stake in the winery, Pitt, according to lawyers, did everything possible to maintain control of the castle. He supposedly developed a cunning plan to take full control of Chateau Miraval. Apparently, we are talking about an agreement that the couple was able to reach, according to which Pitt will buy half of the business from the ex-wife. But this agreement was broken.

“During the years that he allegedly ‘built’ the wine business, he acted in and appeared in dozens of films, not to mention countless ad campaigns, traveled around the world to attend movie premieres, and attended parties in Hollywood,” the lawsuit states. -Although he undoubtedly visited the vineyards to admire the work of the French workers who really made the business a success. Pitt is not a winemaker.”

According to the Financial Times, in 2022, the actor’s own brand of wine generated more than $16 million.

“We do not expect anything good, because the actions of NATO, I have already said, the style of work of this organization, have already become the main provider of bad news to the world and destabilizing provocateurs of the situation in the world” . she told reporters.

The head of the Federation Council is sure that the NATO summit will not bring peace to Ukraine or anyone else.

“NATO has not yet brought sovereignty to anyone, NATO has not brought democracy to anyone, behind whose flag they often hide,” Matviyenko said. “This is such an aggressive structure, so if decisions are made that will threaten us at least to some degree, we have appropriate responses,” she added.
