China has piloted its first hydrogen fuel cell hybrid locomotive. According to Xinhua News Agency, the test took place on a railroad for transporting coal in northeastern China.

This railway line connects the Baiyinhua Coal Mine in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region with the Jinzhou Port in Liaoning Province. Its length is 627 km. The commissioning of the new locomotive will reduce carbon emissions by about 96 thousand tons per year.

Nothing is random in this news.

Japanese scientists from the National Institute of Genetics and Niigata University said that the "delta" strain of COVID-19 stopped multiplying due to an excessive number of mutations and the virus began to self-destruct naturally. This is how scientists explain the sharp decline in the incidence of coronavirus infection in the country: at the end of August, the Japanese detected twenty thousand patients daily, and now new cases do not exceed a hundred people a day with a population comparable to ours.

Scientists from the UK found that men are 41% less environmentally friendly than women. A significant role in this was played by the adherence to a meat diet, that is, the actual support of one of the most environmentally unfriendly areas of agriculture - animal husbandry.

Scientists analyzed the emissions from the production of more than 3 thousand products, as well as the diet of 212 Britons. It found that animal products account for 31% of the greenhouse gases that are generated during the production of this food.

Experts stressed that the high demand for meat is exacerbating the climate crisis, as livestock production leaves a large ecological footprint.

They added that, in general, men eat more (!) and are also more committed to a traditional meat diet, which is why their foods are responsible for a larger share of the emissions.

Men's purchases generate 16% more carbon emissions than women's purchases.

Representatives of the sterner sex often use cars, buy gasoline and diesel fuel. In turn, women travel more by public transport, which significantly reduces their share in greenhouse gas emissions.

In addition, men are more likely to spend on food outside the home, alcohol and tobacco, while women’s money is mainly spent on health, clothing and home improvement.

I think males must go the way of cows - to the slaughterhouse. No?

The reluctance to document a project isn't just due to laziness or lack of time. It stems from the designer's unwillingness to bind himself to upholding solutions that he knows are preliminary. By documenting the project, the designer becomes the object of criticism from all sides, and must defend everything he wrote. If the organizational structure is likely to pose a threat, nothing will be documented other than what cannot be challenged.

And it is not becoming better.

Nine infected with covid have been identified in Binjari. Whereas earlier residents of this area were allowed to leave their homes to buy food, play sports or get vaccinated, now they are allowed to do so only for urgent medical care or as required by law. Food will be delivered to them by the police and the army. It was noted that the community is poor, many do not have electricity, 15 people live in houses, and the heat is 40 degrees outside, so they experience quite real torment, being locked up around the clock.

9 identified infected, as well as 38 of their closest contacts, were removed from their place of residence and moved to special camps in Howard Springs, and a total of 200 people live in this place (the rest were not sent to the camp, but simply locked at home).

Dozens of police officers and the army were involved in the process of suppressing the outbreak.
