China Announces Eradication Of Extreme Poverty In Last Poor Counties

2021-01-04T02:23:58Z

GeoffreyHaveman:

BEIJING, Nov 24 (Reuters) - China has removed the last remaining counties from a list of poor regions, in what officials described as achieving President Xi [http://www.fin24.com/Search/News?queryString=Jinping%27s%20longstanding Jinping's longstanding] political goal of eliminating extreme poverty by the end of this year. The milestone was achieved by lifting 93 million people out of poverty since 2013, China's government said. Foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian told a press briefing on Tuesday that China was prepared to share its experience with other developing countries. China sets its own national standard of extreme poverty, based on a per capita income threshold of 4,000 yuan per year, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/blog/kinh-nghiem-kham-pha-shangri-la-vung-dat-cua-tinh-yeu.html kynghidongduong.vn] or around $1.52 per day, and other factors such as access to basic healthcare and education. That compares with a threshold of $1.90 per day set by the World Bank to measure extreme poverty globally. On Monday afternoon, officials in one of China's poorest provinces, Guizhou, announced that the last nine remaining counties had been removed from the nation's list of poor regions. The list, drawn up in 2014, initially identified 832 counties as extremely poor. Guizhou said average per capita annual income in the counties had risen to 11,487 yuan. State media said third-party auditors had visited the nine counties to conduct final surveys this month. Guizhou was the last province to report its latest surveys, after other provinces and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/blog/kinh-nghiem-kham-pha-shangri-la-vung-dat-cua-tinh-yeu.html tour Lệ Giang] regions including Xinjiang, Guangxi, Ningxia Yunnan, Sichuan and Gansu removed their final counties from the list earlier this month.

Monkey Fossils Unearthed In China Date Back 6.4 MILLION Years

'It is close to or actually the ancestor of many of the living monkeys of East Asia. One of the interesting things from the perspective of paleontology is that this monkey occurs at the same place and same time as ancient apes in Asia.'

'The significance of the calcaneus is that it reveals the monkey was well adapted for moving nimbly and powerfully both on the ground and in the trees,' said Jablonski. 'This locomotor versatility no doubt contributed to the success of the species in dispersing across woodland corridors from Europe to Asia.' The team was also given teeth from the ancient monkey that reveals it fed on a variety of plants, fruits and flowers. 'The thing that is fascinating about this monkey, that we know from molecular anthropology, is that, like other colobines (Old World monkeys), it had the ability to ferment cellulose,' said Jablonski. 'It had a gut similar to that of a cow.' These monkeys survived on low-quality food that was high in cellulose, which gave them sufficient energy through fermentation that producedsubsequent fatty acids from the bacteria. 'Monkeys and apes would have been eating fundamentally different things,' said Jablonski. 'Apes eat fruits, flowers, things easy to digest, while monkeys eat leaves, seeds and even more mature leaves if they have to.'

However, humor is how I've always dealt with things and I can't stop now,'" Resch said. "Not just for me, but for people out there who are freaked out, sometimes a little laugh is the only bit of sanity you have in your entire day." Amanda Jacobsmeyer, a 26-year-old publicist in Harlem, New York, says that for a generation that grew up on Tumblr, humor is a way of coping with just about anything. "It's a little bit of a reprieve from having to feel constantly scared or anxious or worried about other people," Jacobsmeyer says. "It doesn't remove those feelings. It just distracts me from them for a minute, which is nice." The threat of misinformation In our search for positivity and more information, there's a risk of spreading misinformation via infographics, tweets and memes, whether intentionally or not. Take, for example, what happened earlier this month, when a couple of Twitter users seemingly found some good news about the positive impact of millions of people staying home because of the virus. Swans and dolphins had apparently returned to canals in Venice that had been deserted by humans, and elephants in a village in Yunnan, China, got drunk off of corn wine until they fell asleep in a tea garden. These reports went viral and were shared on Instagram and TikTok, offering a bit of optimism -- until news came out that [ they weren't true]. Sometimes a little laugh is the only bit of sanity you have in your entire day. George Resch "The phenomenon highlights how quickly eye-popping, too-good-to-be-true rumors can spread in times of crisis," reporter Natasha Daly writes in a National Geographic piece about the fake news. "People are compelled to share posts that make them emotional. When we're feeling stressed, joyous animal footage can be an irresistible salve." Memes can be an escape from -- or a way to poke fun at -- the influx of bad news. George Resch/Tank Sinatra [http://www.dict.cc/?s=Generational Generational] differences can also play a role in spreading misinformation. Younger people who are better versed in meme culture might be more skeptical and careful when they come across information that seems outlandish or that contains tongue-in-cheek humor. It might be harder for older audiences to understand satire in a meme. There are, for instance, several memes pointing to unsanitary conditions and experiences, joking that anyone who's survived those situations will also survive coronavirus. That is, of course, not true, though Khanaka admits this kind of content can contribute to a false sense of security for some people. Foreman advises people to be thoughtful about not only what content they consume, but who they follow on social media and what information they pass on. She urges people to check the accuracy of content before reposting. "If there's one thing we've learned from [ ] and other things in the world, we know that people can intentionally use memes, humor and social media as very effective attitude influencers and behavioral propaganda," Foreman says. "Nobody is immune to it." Distracted Boyfriend gets the quarantine treatment. Bay Area Meme Council/Instagram There's also a danger in taking humor too far. Social media influencer Ava Louise caused a stir when she [ shared a video of herself licking a toilet seat] as part of something she dubbed the "coronavirus challenge." The video caused an uproar on Twitter as people slammed her for undermining the severity of the disease. Basketball player [ Rudy Gobert] also faced backlash after he jokingly touched several reporters' microphones and audio recorders during a press conference, before [ testing positive for COVID-19]. Foreman says digital communities are generally good at regulating people who have gone too far by giving them feedback, banning them or removing harmful content. Jokes that incorporate mindfulness or that poke fun at the odd characteristics of the situation are more effective at improving people's moods than something that causes harm, she says. For people like Khanaka, humor has been a much-needed relief in a time of heightened fear and anxiety. "Without humor, the alternative is to just wallow in sadness and isolation, which is not healthy," Khanaka says. "It's a way of coping and connecting."

Shanghai Copper At 1-month Low On Sino-U.S. Rift Stimulus Uncertainty

By Mai Nguyen Aug 10 (Reuters) - Copper prices fell on Monday, with Shanghai copper hitting its lowest in more than a month, as traders were wary of a fresh flare up in Sino-U.S. tensions and on considerable uncertainty on whether U.S. policymakers could approve fresh stimulus aid.

Three-month copper on the London Metal Exchange dipped 0.1% to $6,305 a tonne by 0704 GMT, having lost 1.6% last week, the biggest weekly drop since mid-May.

Talks of another U.S. stimulus bill to support the world's biggest economy fell apart on Friday. However, hopes grew on Sunday that a stand-off would end between U.S. Democrats and the White House on a new support package. "Market is just washing out the weak longs, making those people with longs cover their positions in this sell-down ... but in relative value, copper got sold off so much compared with oil and equities," said a Singapore-based metals trader. "LME copper will try to test the $6,600s. Copper won't hit $7,000 so fast, especially when it's in surplus. It'll need to wait for a U.S. stimulus bill," the trader said.

Prehistoric Worm With Super Armor Found In China

Photo by Jie Yang/Artwork by Javier Ortega-Hernández Worms today look so wimpy. How do they survive in this world? They don't have appendages to pick up blunt objects and they don't even have the strength to put up a good fight. At least if they had an Adamantium core or some kind of super armor, their survival wouldn't be such a mystery to most people. At least their distant cousins looked like beasts that could fight back -- like this 500 million-year-old worm recently discovered in South China that looks like the modern worm's badass biker cousin. Scientists from the University of Cambridge in England [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/blog/kinh-nghiem-kham-pha-shangri-la-vung-dat-cua-tinh-yeu.html tour Lệ Giang giá rẻ] and Yunnan University in China [ announced last Tuesday] the discovery of a worm-like creature in the Xiaoshiba deposit. It's called Hairy Collins' Monster, named after palaeontologist Desmond Collins who found and illustrated a similar creature in Canada in the 1980s. They published a paper about this lobopodian, or legged-worm from the prehistoric Cambrian period that looks like the lead singer of an all-worm GWAR tribute band, in the journal for the [ Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences]. The fossil reveals that the Hairy Collins' Monster was a creature with a worm-like body covered with as many as 72 sharp spikes. It also had six pairs of legs in the front with a [http://www.houzz.com/?search=feather-like%20structure feather-like structure] and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/blog/kinh-nghiem-kham-pha-shangri-la-vung-dat-cua-tinh-yeu.html kynghidongduong.vn] nine pairs of legs in the back tipped with claws.

Related links [ ] [ ] [ ] The fossil found in South China appears to be relatively intact, showing the unique, spiked structure of the Cambrian creature and even small details such as its digestive tract and the coat of hair-like structures on its front legs.

"Both creatures are lobopodians, or legged worms, but the Collins' Monster sort of looks like Hallucigenia on steroids," said [ Javier Ortega-Hernández], a research fellow from the University of Cambridge's Earth Sciences department.

Investing In Yunnan

Australia's Prime Minister Scott Morrison has said allegations of a Chinese plot to plant an agent into Australia's Parliament are 'deeply disturbing and troubling'. Yesterday explosive accusations were aired on television claiming suspected Chinese operatives had offered Melbourne luxury car dealer Bo 'Nick' Zhao 1million Australian dollars (£527,528) to run as a candidate for a parliamentary seat in Melbourne.

China Aluminium Output Hits Daily Record In September

2021-01-01T16:56:39Z

By Emily Chow and Tom Daly SHANGHAI, Oct 19 (Reuters) - China's aluminium production rose in September from a year earlier as prices [http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/search/index.cfm?term=&recovered&loc=en_us&siteSection=home recovered] and new smelters came on line, official data showed on Monday, with daily output reaching a record high. The world's top producer of the metal churned out 3.16 million tonnes of primary aluminium in September, the National Bureau of Statistics said, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/blog/kinh-nghiem-kham-pha-shangri-la-vung-dat-cua-tinh-yeu.html tour Lệ Giang] up 7.9% from a year earlier. That equates to daily output of 105,333 tonnes, a record for daily production. Last month's output was down slightly from the record 3.171 million tonnes produced in August, which has one more day than September. Aluminium prices have seen a steady recovery from four-year lows hit in March, when the coronavirus outbreak ravaged demand, incentivising smelters to produce as much metal as possible. Shanghai aluminium prices fell 1.3% in September but hit their highest in 2-1/2 years on Monday. In the first nine months of 2020, aluminium production totalled 27.45 million tonnes, the bureau said, up 2.8% from a year earlier and on course to set a full-year record after a rare fall in 2019. Research house Antaike estimates 375,000 tonnes of new annual capacity came on stream last month and a further 160,000 tonnes of capacity restarted. Among the smelters to launch new projects were China Hongqiao Group and Yunnan Aluminium, both in Wenshan in Southwest China's Yunnan province, said CRU analyst Wan Ling. "(September production rose) due to the ramp up of new capacities in Yunnan and Sichuan," said Wan. Wan also pegged China's aluminium output for the last quarter of the year at 9.404 million tonnes, a 7.1% gain from the corresponding period last year and up 1.5% from the previous quarter, due to the new capacities and restarts. China's production of 10 nonferrous metals - including copper, aluminium, lead, zinc and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/blog/kinh-nghiem-kham-pha-shangri-la-vung-dat-cua-tinh-yeu.html kynghidongduong.vn] nickel, rose to 5.32 million tonnes in September from the previous month. It was also up about 7% from September 2019, and set a monthly record high.

The miners had been infected with an unknown respiratory disease after clearing bat faeces from a copper mine in Yunnan province in April 2012.

Scientists have claimed the difference of 3.8 per cent in the strains could mean the bat coronavirus took decades to mutate into Sars-CoV-2. Shi has previously warned that the new viruses being discovered worldwide are 'just the tip of the iceberg'. The P4 laboratory in Wuhan, capital of China's Hubei province, where Shi Zhengli had studied coronavirus in bats since 2004 Shi's update appears to contradict accusations from Donald Trump's administration that the virus, which has infected nearly 58million people worldwide, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/blog/kinh-nghiem-kham-pha-shangri-la-vung-dat-cua-tinh-yeu.html kynghidongduong.vn] originated at her Wuhan lab.

She added that it is 'very regrettable' when science is politicised. Speaking to CCTN, Shi said: 'If we want to prevent human beings from suffering from the next infectious disease outbreak, we must go in advance to learn of these unknown viruses carried by wild animals in nature and give early warnings. 'If we don't study them there will possibly be another outbreak.' President Trump and his Secretary of State Mike Pompeo have continuously suggested Covid-19 is linked to the Wuhan laboratory. The accusations have been rejected by both Beijing and Shi. The virologist has previously insisted the characteristics of the viruses she has worked with do not match the genetics of Covid-19. Writing on social media, Shi said she would 'swear on my life' that the laboratory had nothing to do with the pandemic and that the virus was first discovered in late 2019. Wang Yanyi, the director of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, added that accusations the virus originated from the lab in Wuhan are 'pure fabrication'. Shi Zhengli's research reportedly started in 2004 to study the SARS outbreak. She has since studied all kinds of bats, and made a breakthrough in 2013 when she identified bat feaces 96.2 per cent identical to the Sars-CoV-2. She has also reportedly researched whether or not coronavirus can jump from one species to another, and in 2015 she confirmed that it was possible for a SARS-like virus to move from bats to humans.
