Travel at your own risk
End of the general travel warning: The new traffic light system hardly arouses holiday feelings

Flying in times of Corona: passengers wear mouth and nose protection

After almost half a year, the general travel warning due to the corona pandemic ends. Each of the nearly 200 countries in the world is now assessed individually. But that hardly changes anything for the holidaymaker.

It was a unprecedented step: on March 17th, Federal Foreign Minister Heiko Maas issued a warning against tourist trips to all around 200 countries in the world. “We have to prevent more Germans from stranding abroad,” he said in support of a press statement that was made at short notice. “Please stay home!”

The situation at the time was somewhat dramatic. In the days before, borders around the world had been closed and flight connections were cut due to the corona pandemic. Tens of thousands of Germans were stuck abroad and had to be brought home in an unprecedented return campaign by tour operators, airlines and the government in the following weeks.

In order not to aggravate the situation further, the travel warning, which previously only applied to crisis and war areas such as Syria, Afghanistan and Yemen, was extended to the whole world. As of Thursday, this state of emergency is history. As early as June 15, the blanket regulation for most European countries had been lifted.

Now, outside of Europe, every single country is again assessed individually by the Federal Foreign Office. From Thursday, a uniform three-stage system will apply to the whole world, which can also be described as a traffic light:

Red: travel warning

The travel warning is now based entirely on the number of infections. If there are 50 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants in seven days, a country or region is considered a risk area. A travel warning is then automatically issued. On Wednesday morning the list of risk areas kept by the Robert Koch Institute included 121 countries in their entirety and a further 13 countries with individual regions.

Together that is around two thirds of the countries in the world. The travel warning is not a ban, but it should have the greatest possible deterrent effect. The good thing for vacationers: they can cancel a trip that has already been booked if their destination is declared a risk area.

Yellow: travel warning light

Among the countries for which the travel warning no longer applies from Thursday, there are a number of countries that you can still not travel to. The reason: There are entry restrictions or restrictions on air traffic. One example is the popular winter vacation destination Thailand. There are hardly any corona infections there, but there has also been a general entry ban for tourists since the end of March.

The situation is similar in Australia, the USA, China or Rwanda and Uruguay. For all of these countries, the Federal Foreign Office advises against travel under the new regulations. This also applies to all countries for which the European Union has not yet lifted its entry ban. Together you come to 47 countries. The “travel warning light” can also enable free cancellations, but the legal situation here is not as clear as with the formal travel warning.

Green: Vacation at your own risk

There are not many countries left for which there is no travel warning or “travel warning light”. Outside Europe there are only two: Tunisia and Georgia. In addition, an exception rule made a few weeks ago for the Turkish holiday regions on the Mediterranean continues to apply. For holidaymakers who are drawn abroad, there is an additional complication that, due to the rapidly increasing number of infections, one travel warning after another is reactivated in Europe as well.

15 out of 27 EU countries are now partially or completely affected. Of the most popular holiday destinations for Germans, only Italy is still without a risk area – of all things, the country that was originally hit hardest by the pandemic in Europe.

Suddenly from green to red

But the green corona traffic light can also turn red very quickly. Therefore, the following applies in principle: Vacation in Corona times is vacation at your own risk. The federal government has already made it clear that it would prefer it to be without trips abroad in the autumn holidays that start next week and in winter.

“You can also take a vacation in Germany,” said Health Minister Spahn last week on ZDF. In the corona pandemic, it has been shown time and again that return travelers are increasingly bringing in the virus. “I think we should learn from this together for autumn, winter and Christmas holidays.”

Hitler Beetle and Kipling Spider: The Art of Animal Names

by viral
written by viral

Und then suddenly there was talk of anophthalmus hitleri. It’s a little more than five millimeters long and appropriately brown beetle. Strictly speaking: a predatory ground beetle. These properties are also suitable to characterize the figure that was the inspiration for the second part of the name. The first descriptor has the right to name the living beings he has discovered or found that have not been given a scientific name by anyone before him. And nobody can dispute this name for him.

This is what the rules of international biological nomenclature want. For the sake of clarity and clarity, the original name is the correct one once and for all. The Austrian collector and hobby entomologist Oscar Scheibel recognized a new species in the blind insect, sometimes referred to as the Hitler Beetle, and in 1937 “dedicated it to Mr. Reich Chancellor Adolf Hitler as an expression of my admiration”, as he clearly stated in the last sentence of his first description.

Diesel, once loved by European customers and especially by customers in Germany, France and Austria, are coming under increasing pressure. The starting point for this is the diesel scandal, in which not only brands from the Volkswagen Group, but also others were involved. Ever stricter exhaust gas values ​​also ensure that the diesel engines could be on the verge of extinction in the next few years.

In Germany in particular, diesels are under more pressure than ever. Discussions about particulate matter values, nitrogen oxides and the threat of driving bans, along with the aftermath of the diesel scandal, have been causing annoyance among customers and declining sales for around five years. While the share of newly registered diesel cars between 2011 and the end of 2015 was around 48 percent, business collapsed noticeably from 2016 onwards. The admission rate has only leveled off at around 34 percent in just under two years. But the decline of almost 15 percent is sustainable. Some brands are grappling with the decline more than others. The analysts at Jato Dynamics have taken a closer look at the numbers since 2016.

Jato’s analyzes show that more and more customers have switched from diesel engines to gasoline engines over the past four years. In 2018, the market share of vehicles with gasoline engines reached a peak of over 60 percent. In the meantime, however, it is not just the turbo gasoline engine that is causing problems for diesel vehicles across all classes and manufacturers. Because electromobility is picking up speed more slowly than many had hoped. As a result, the petrol engines had to give up some of the market shares they had just gained. After all, most plug-in hybrids are a combination of a gasoline engine with an electric motor. There are hardly any diesel hybrids.

One problem with vehicles with electric drive is the high purchase price, which cannot be completely offset even with powerful discounts and subsidies from the state of currently 6,000 to over 9,000 euros. Electrified small cars like an Opel Corsa-e, a Peugeot e-208 or the new Fiat 500 Elektro cost over 30,000 euros, while the comparable combustion models often cost less than 15,000 euros. David Leggett, Analyst at Global Data: “We can see more EVs in the market within reach of customers in mass market segments, but there is still a significant gap that is limiting adoption.” In the medium term, however, the high electric prices for volume models will match those with combustion engines.

Car manufacturers and suppliers are working flat out to reduce the costs of key components in the electric powertrain. Nissan, which has been on the electric volume market with the Leaf for years, sees the alliance with Renault-Mitsubishi as the key to reducing costs and strengthening its own competitive position. According to Nissan CEO Makoto Uchida, this is of crucial importance for market penetration, since electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids will have a significantly larger share of the car market in the next five years. Nissan expects a 50 percent share of sales in Europe alone by 2023.

Today, the market share of all-gasoline vehicles across all classes is just over 50 percent, as it was before 2016. The remainder is divided between diesel and vehicles with the various electrical drive types plug-in hybrid, hybrid, electric and fuel cell. This has had a positive effect on the average CO2 emissions. At just under 129 g / km, the fleet value is now back at the level of the beginning of 2016 and thus significantly lower than the highest value in the past four years (135 g / km). At the same time, the share of sales of mostly heavier and larger SUVs with a correspondingly higher consumption increased.

Only in three segments is the diesel share, as in commercial vehicles, unbroken. These include pickups and campervans as well as the large SUVs. These crossovers and off-road vehicles are larger, heavier and have significantly higher air resistance than comparable sedans or station wagons. The bottom line is that this results in higher fuel consumption, which is why diesel engines are the most efficient type of propulsion here. But now more and more large SUVs are being electrified in addition to the efficient diesel. Car manufacturers such as Audi or BMW have now thrown their high-performance diesel with more than 400 hp in the form of the Audi SQ8 TDI or BMW X5 M50d / X7 M50d from the range.

While only two percent of newly registered large SUVs were electrified in the first quarter of 2020, it was almost ten percent in the second quarter. There is only hope for the diesel engine in the compact and large vans such as Opel Zafira or Mercedes V-Class. Here, the diesel share has risen recently, although these models are now also available with electric drives. It can be assumed that the proportion of electricity used here will also increase significantly in the next five years.

“I have never identified with Mafalda and all her tirades”

by viral
written by viral

Juan Carlos Delgado placeholder image

Updated:

The popular cartoonist Joaquín Salvador Lavado Tejón, better known as Quino, father of the iconic Mafalda, has died in Buenos Aires at the age of 88. The world cries for him, we cry for him, because the affection that he managed to instill in his most global character made him a universal idol of tender lucidity, but also a local idol, since it beneficially affected the brain in particular his reading.

Speaking of local effect, the artist played as an egregious visitor on several occasions with ABC, a House that dedicated a special to him in 1972 under this headline: “Quino, between skepticism and fatigue”, where he told us “the motives of his creations and his disappointments as a cartoonist”. On that visit to Spain, he said he came to meet the Spanish … “although his parents are”, added the editor Miguel Fernández-Braso.

In this interview with Quino in the seventies, the cartoonist finds himself in a reflective period about whether to continue with Mafalda’s strips or seek new artistic paths. The journalist understands how after eight years this situation can arise, but he also highlights the capacity for renewal of his most illustrious character. In the end, what happened happened … But here Quino explains a little about his neuroses and his way of working: «Mafalda is the least defined character. The others have a constant sn, but Mafalda disorients me, I don’t know where it will come out. I suffer a lot from not knowing their own mental mechanisms. It is like going to bed and not knowing what one is going to dream about. I’m not trying to incorporate previous elements into my comics. And I sit down and start to think and go down and I don’t know what is going to come out. Many times nothing comes out. In this interview, the journalist points out character traits of the Argentine, who “is not a funny man but a humorist barely brilliant in dialogue, he is not an illustrator of other people’s ideas, but a narrator of images and few words of his own mental consequences.” Seeing his bitter reflections, the editor Quino he seems, at times, “a tired and skeptical Kafkaesque.”

On the occasion of the reception in Alcala de Henares of the Quevedos Prize for graphic humor in 2001, shortly after 9/11, we told ABC that the Argentine cartoonist wanted to make a point about the epithets of his person and work: the word pessimistic must be replaced by “realistic”, since time has “proved him right”, he considered; on the other, his extensive list of rebellious and somewhat overwhelmed characters, and therefore himself, would not know how to face the world after the terrorist attacks against New York in September. «It will be very difficult for me to get to work with this war that is not war, in which it is not known who the enemies are and in which the so-called friends do not like me either ”, confessed Quino.

The Grand Prize for the ABC coverage with the teacher was due or culminated when he was awarded the Prince of Asturias Award, in 2014, and there it was our correspondent Carmen de Carlos to listen to the cartoonist, who had been decorated by a work of “enormous educational value” with a “universal dimension” and full of “characters that transcend any geography, age and social condition.” And the jury continued: «She achieved international fame with the creation of the universe of Mafalda, a girl who perceives the complexity of the world from the simplicity of children’s eyes. Mafalda, the main protagonist of Quino’s creative work, is intelligent, ironic, nonconformist, rebellious and sensitive. Dream of a more dignified, just and human rights-friendly world».

So the father of the child, who was 81 years old at the time, wanted to dedicate the award to his wife, Alicia Colombo, in front of the press: “I dedicate the award to her.” And he continued, “I didn’t know I was a finalist. I have received the news with surprise. I am very happy, but I have no idea what Mafalda would say about the award. I am glad that Spain has given me an award that goes back to my family. I was born in Mendoza, but I grew up in the Mediterranean. In the street the Italian butcher, the Spanish greengrocer passed by, and I still remember how she shouted: “I bring the sun and the moon of tomatoes!” We were already with García Lorca. Until I went to school, Andalusian was spoken at home ».

A convinced Republican, he commented that Don Felipe had not called him by phone yet and confessed a wish: “I hope the Prince of Asturias invites me to eat a potato omelette when I go to Spain”. That day, Quino also remembered other Spanish cartoonists: «I met Mingote, Chumy Chúmez, El Perich, Summers …», and was surprised to be the first cartoonist to receive the award, because well «they could have given to a Spanish cartoonist ».

Among the curiosities of his “comics”, as he permanently refers to his strips, he recalled the true origin and his affinity with some of his characters: «It was with Felipe, Miguelito and Libertad that I felt most identified, but not with Mafalda and all her spiel. Manolito had a lot of fun doing it … As a descendant of Spaniards that I am, I also have things like beasties, “he says with a smile. Having said this, he adds: “I copied Guille from a nephew of mine.”

Quino published “Mundo Quino” in 1963 and invented Mafalda, born for an advertising agency that never used her. Proud of his little daughter who hates soup, that precocious baby would take his first steps in the newspaper “Primera Plana.” Later it would do it in many headwaters of different countries of Latin America. Also in Spain, in the missing magazine “Triunfo”.

Different publishers fell in love with «Mafalda the contestataria». Small and plump philosopher, Quino, although he tried, could never get rid of her. In 1973 he ended his life and did not make a comic with her again, whose existence he summarized one day: «I am like a carpenter who makes a piece of furniture and Mafalda is a piece of furniture that turned out well for me, beautiful, but for me it is still a piece of furniture. I do this for the love of the wood that I work ».

Antoni Guiral: The reflection of Mafalda

by viral
written by viral

Updated:

save

Talk about Quino o de Mafalda It is a turning point in the sentimental education of those of us who are now around (or exceeding) 60 years. Many of us were already comic book readers when we found out; others did not, they discovered the comic with Quino, especially with Mafalda. That girl at heart and adult at mind dazzled us. For her innocence, on the one hand. For her way of saying truths like fists, for another. The Mafalda strips were made by Quino only between 1964 and 1973, when the world was perhaps somewhat simpler but, as always, it was still full of contradictions. Mafalda exposed them, placed a mirror in front of us to denounce our miseries, both social, economic and political, and that reflection impacted us. That generation that is mine rediscovered the world from the eyes of a girl who hates soup. Possibly, a large part of my generation likes soup, but, otherwise, we do not hesitate to identify with the lynx gaze that Mafalda threw on our society. It was uncomfortable, yes, but its truths were beyond even political ideologies. Mafalda was a humanist. As we should all be. In the case of our generation, at least we discover and value that humanism bathed in innocence but also in credibility. Thank you very much for everything, Quino and Mafalda.

“The thing is to take the artificial naturally”

“It is not that there is no goodness, what happens is that it is incognito”

“Did you ever think that if it weren’t for everyone, no one would be anything?”

“And, of course, the drama of being president is that if you start to solve the problems of the State you don’t have time to govern”

“They cook beans everywhere, but no one dares to strangle the ‘maitre d'”.

“What could some poor Southerners have done to deserve some Norths?”

“Is soup to children what communism is to democracy?”

His friends

Other characters in Mafalda’s comics have also left famous phrases. Here are some:

From Susanita: “I love Humanity, what bothers me is people” or “I know that my rights end where those of others begin, but is it my fault that those of others start SO far?”

From Felipe: «Don’t leave until tomorrow what you can do today. I’ll start tomorrow! » or “Why did it have to be me?” or “Even my weaknesses are stronger than me”

From Miguelito: «Be good! Behave well! You can’t always be good! ” or “Life should not throw one out of childhood without first getting him a good position in youth” or “Why does that life that one earns have to be wasted in working for a living?”

Reducing the solidarity surcharge saves billions

by viral
written by viral

Berlin According to a study, the complete abolition of the solidarity surcharge would have strong positive effects on the economy. By 2030, a complete elimination would lead to an increase in the gross domestic product (GDP) of 86 billion euros. In the next year alone, 19,000 additional jobs would be created.

This is the result of a study by the Institut der Deutschen Wirtschaft (IW) on behalf of the employers-financed Initiative Neue Soziale Marktwirtschaft (INSM), which is available to the Handelsblatt.

As of January 1, 2021, 90 percent of taxpayers will lose their solos. The ten percent of top earners must, however, continue to pay the supplement in part or in full. The top earners alone contribute a good half of the previous solid income of around 20 billion euros annually.

While the Union wants to abolish the solos entirely, the SPD had urged that high earners not be relieved by a complete elimination. If the solos are completely abolished, then only if the top tax rate increases in return. Against this, the Union had spoken out.

According to the IW study, a complete elimination of the surcharge on income tax would increase Germany’s economic power by around six billion euros next year. The tax relief would boost private consumption with 3.8 billion euros, while investments would increase by 1.3 billion euros.

These values ​​continued to increase over the next few years. By 2030, there would be an economic plus of a nominal total of 86 billion euros. As a result, the tax cut is partially self-financing: “The positive effects on economic growth and the labor market would reduce the expected tax shortfall by around a third,” the study says.

Thus, on average, additional nominal income – without taking price developments into account – of 3.2 billion euros would flow into the treasury over the next ten years, according to the study.

Study author Tobias Hentze says: “Actually, it is a stroke of luck for politicians when structurally overdue steps coincide with steps that make economic sense. With the complete abolition of solos, an overdue reform could be used as an economic impetus to overcome the corona crisis. “

INSM managing director Hubertus Pellengahr said that 30 years after the fall of the Wall “the solos simply fell out of time”. Abolition was “not only constitutionally required, but would also provide a considerable economic stimulus”.

Constitutional lawsuits against the continuation of solos

Various constitutional complaints have already been brought against the retention of the soloist for top earners. The argument of the plaintiffs: With the elimination of the Solidar Pact II for the construction of the East this year, the solos no longer have a basis of legitimation. The plaintiffs also consider the one-sided burden on top earners through a special surcharge on income tax to be legally open to attack.

A group around the taxpayers’ association and the former head of department in the Federal Ministry of Finance, Michael Sell, has sued.

In July, however, the Nuremberg Finance Court initially dismissed a corresponding model lawsuit. Above all, the reasoning for the judgment, which has largely disappeared in public, is noteworthy.

The court wrote that “the situation at the time of the decision on the solidarity surcharge” was different. Apart from the fact that the court does not share the constitutional concerns, the Federal Republic has been struggling with a pandemic of unimagined proportions since the beginning of 2020. As a result, tax revenues have fallen and the further financial challenges are not foreseeable.

In the opinion of the Senate, the “possible and realistic option of reallocating a supplementary tax” also stands in the way of “forming convictions about the unconstitutionality of the solidarity surcharge (…)”, the judgment continues.

In other words: According to the judges, the unit solos could continue as Corona solos. The plaintiffs do not want to accept this ruling and are now taking action before the Federal Fiscal Court, the highest court for tax issues.

Solos becomes an election topic

Regardless of this, the solos should play a central role in the 2021 federal election campaign. The SPD demands that high earners should pay more taxes, especially in view of the corona crisis.

SPD Chancellor candidate Olaf Scholz believes that the Union has fallen into a trap with its demand for a complete abolition, since abolition only relieves high and top earners and this is not a majority in society.

The Union points out, however, that the remaining solos are mostly paid by entrepreneurs – and that they could use any relief after the burdens in the corona crisis.

The magic of transience – abandoned villas, palaces and hotels

by viral
written by viral

There are many books about “Lost Places”. What is meant are those forgotten places that have been left to decay for years, if not decades. Either the publications relate to a narrowly defined region or a photographer presents the result of his years of research and the dilapidated buildings he has documented.

The large-format illustrated book “The magic of transience – abandoned villas, palaces, hotels and estates“, which has now been published by Frederking & Thaler. The author and editor Michael Kerrigan has a global claim: on more than 200 pages, he has organized the recordings, which have been compiled from various sources, according to continents and presents us with a world that consists of 130 ruins.

These are eerily beautiful places, to which one feels little drawn even in times of the desire to travel, which has been greatly curbed by the corona pandemic. The photographs still show something of the shine of the past few days, but sadness and hopelessness predominate.

Short texts tell the history of the buildings and stimulate the imagination to travel in the head. While leafing through the pages, everyone thinks of their own answer to the question of why nobody cares about the former magnificent buildings that are now in danger of collapsing.

On the following pages of the photo gallery above, we show a selection of the 170 photographs from the new illustrated book.
