Soviet technology to avoid the sanctions of the West

by

Russia’s Minister of Industry and Commerce, Anton Alikhanov, has announced than the first TUPOLEV TU-214 Updated will be ready this year. If everything goes as planned, customers will continue to receive it in 2026. It is a medium -distance passenger plane whose origin dates back to the late 1980s and that, curiously, in this new stage it could be less advanced than in Its previous version. The production of TU-214 It has never been significant. RZJETS Figure The amount in around 85, many of which were removed from service. The latter made sense if we take into account that the Russian airlines had access to the Boeing and Airbus aircraft, but this scenario changed drastically with the invasion of Ukraine. International sanctions severely hit the air sector of the Eurasian country. The sanctions have hit the Russian airlines From that moment, the airlines are established in Russia not only have not been able to buy new Western aircraftbut have been seen in serious problems to guarantee the maintenance of the previously acquired units. Access to the spare parts and technical assistance of the manufacturers were quickly off the scene, which forced companies ―And the government – to take measures to guarantee transport. The airlines began to stop using the most modern aircraft of their fleets, which are those where to get spare parts by alternative roads is more difficult, and the authorities announced a plan to restart the production of some models of the Soviet era, including the Tu- 214, to reach 1,000 units in the 2030s. This goal, certainly, is accompanied by a variety of challenges aggravated by sanctions. How BBC collectssome experts believe that Russia could choose to relive versions older versions than the last produced of their aircraft, which depended less on foreign components, but at the same time were less advanced. Here an obsolete version of TU-214 would enter into the scene that had a low level of automation and forced to have a crew of three people to be able to fly it. In addition to the pilot and co -pilot roles, it would be necessary to have the figure of the flight engineer, which would be responsible for performing many tasks manually. Then, from a broader perspective, it will not only be necessary to launch the plant equipment and the supply chain of hundreds of suppliers, but also to modify the training received by pilots and flight engineers. The updated plane that we mentioned at the beginning of this article is not a unit produced decades ago. 72RU explains that it is a registered plane with the number 64509 that belonged to Transaero Airlines and that stopped flying in 2015. In recent years, United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) was transferred within the framework of the project to eliminate foreign components, an objective that seems to be advanced. Konstantín Timofeev, UAC general deputy director, said last year that Tu-214 with “Russian components” made its first flight in November. He also pointed out that this would be the platform on which they would continue to work on the modernization of the plane, as well as in the creation of a cabin for two members. On the latter, it is not clear if it will come true in the units that hope to deliver this year. The TU-214 is a narrow fuselage aircraft designed for medium distance flights and equipped with turbofán engines Пс-90A updateds. With the ability to transport Between 155 and 210 passengersit is considered the Russian equivalent of the Boeing 757. If the production manages to resume, the manufacture of units for export is not expected, but will be destined exclusively to Russian airlines.

Germany was the great European automobile power. Now, more and more manufacturers are clear that it is the place to avoid

by

“Germany is the place where the car was invented.” This clear and forceful are shown in the Verbandes Der Automobilindustrie (VDA)the German automobile industry association. An organization that estimated that in 2023 they worked in this sector 779,700 employees throughout the country. To get an idea of ​​the size of the automobile industry in Germany, in 2023 they manufactured 4.1 million passenger vehicles and almost 200,000 commercial vehicles. In Spain, the second largest vehicle producer in Europe, we manufactured half a million commercial vehicles but we stayed at 1.9 million passenger cars, according to data collected by Expansion. In fact, Germany is also the first country in Europe and the second largest producer in the world of electric cars. In 2023 they manufactured 1.27 cars moved by this technology. It would be expected, therefore, that with this experience it would attract more and more interest of new companies that intend to settle in Europe. Nothing is further from reality. A gigantic problem However, Germany faces a huge restructuring problem in the automobile industry. Their companies are in a process of conversion to the electric vehicle that points to thousands of layoffs but, in addition, the new companies seem clear that Germany is already the place where not to mount their factories. The last to position has been controversial. Asked about a possible polestar factory in the country, Michael Lohsccheller, general director of Polestar, responded to the newspaper Welt that “Germany It is not precisely the cheapest place For car production. Everyone knows what the general conditions are at the moment. “ With that last sentence, Lohscheller referred to the loss of German competitiveness in the automobile industry. Stefan Bratzel del Center of Automotive Management (CAM) I pointed to DW This same month of January that the country suffered with “high labor costs, including medical care expenses and extensive holidays” of its workers. To that same medium, Dirk Dohse, of the Kiel Institute for the World Economy (IFW) made it clear that German engineers were still among the best in the world but that the lack of flexibility prevented them from attract new talentsespecially from Asia. The country has been in a Institutional and economic internal crisis which is being deeper in the automobile industry. This loss of competitiveness has led manufacturers to warn that There are 190,000 jobs at stake If the industry does not find a solution. An output that looks more and more complicated if you consider that its manufacturers are drawing much more exports performance to China of electric cars than of combustion vehicles. This is a problem because the latter can get much higher per yield per vehicle sold than to electricity but also have a much lower competition than in the electric car market where the customer is turning to the local product. With the pressures of European policies to hug the electric car, the industry has undertaken a conversion in its factories. However, until 2024 technology Keep growing at a paid in EuropOh In China they see the European car as a outdated product. The latter is especially important in a country that houses a huge labor force of Volkswagen, Mercedes or BMW, whose world sales volumes They are especially sensitive to Chinese purchases. With bad results, Volkswagen has tried to fire tens of thousands of employees In Germany but, above all, the country sees How are production of vehicles or batteries to places like Spain, with lower labor and energy costs. A good example is the plant of Volkswagen in Sagunto to nurture Ford and Martorell. But, in addition, Germany is not attracting new investments. Northvolt’s project in Germany did not go from the theory while Spain has received Catl’s support, Byd has settled in Hungary and Leapmotor already produces cars in Poland and, It is rumored, that in Spain. Besides, Morocco and Türkiye They press to show themselves as especially attractive countries to produce cars as cheap as possible.

the three causes that cause it and how to avoid them

by

Often it tends to link procrastination with laziness when doing a task. However, reality is usually far from thatand the effort to postpone tasks It is related with problems in emotions management that occur in situations of stress, anxiety, rebellion or simply boredom. The writer and time management expert Elizabeth Grace Saundersrecommend in an article published in Fastcompany Analyze what is causing that rejection of doing a certain task will help you find an escape and face it before It is too late. Anxiety: just thinking about the task already scares you Before a complicated or tedious project, the simple thought of having to face that challenge can already make you avoid doing it, even knowing that it is A self -deceptionand that in the end you will have to do it equally, but with the added component of the anxiety for not arriving in time. In short, the fear and anxiety that generates a task that produces insecurity because you do not know if you are going to be able to do it, it already blocks you to face it again and, subconsciously, the Brain tries to avoid it at any cost. In these cases, the key is to keep in mind that the anxiety generated by the task will not do anything other than increase as the deadline expires. It will not disappear until you finish it. A strategy to face that initial blockage can be the become your own assistant. Dedicating some time every day to prepare the material, data or documents you need for the task can help reduce the emotional resistance of starting the process. If you have never done a similar project before, maybe talk to a partner who has done so to know how he faced it, or ask for some idea to AI tools. If you have already done something similar in the past, but it did not fully work out and the fear of failing is blocking you, think about what mistakes you made and how you can improve the work you did on that occasion. The simple fact of performing proactive actions to face the task already puts you on the path of reducing the uncertainty and anxiety that generates you. Rebellion: Do not align with the task Sometimes, procrastination appears When you do not align with a task. For example, when you have been commissioned to make a certain project that you think is the wrong or that it is not the best solution, but you also have to do it because they have ordered you and it is your work. Gretchen Rubin, author of the book ‘The four trends’recommend aligning that task that, by rebellion, you refuse to do, with some value of your identity. For example, to think that, even if you believe that it will not serve anything, it is part of your responsibility and your work ethics prevents you from doing something mediocre or directly, badly done on purpose, when you knew how to do it well. That change of approach links a task that is perceived negatively as something “that force you” to do, to something you “want to do” because you are a responsible professional … even if you do not agree with it. Boredom: nothing motivates you to start the task He boredom It can also be an activator that leads to the postponement of tasks, just like curiosity can be the engine that leads you to start others. The emotional component in this case, is closely linked to the motivation you feel to do that task. If it is a tedious task, or that you perceive of little importance, your brain may prefer not to do it. One way to face it is context That justify why it should be done. An obvious is: if I do not do this task they will say goodbye. But that is an extreme case. For example, even if it is a tedious task to enter data into a Excelthat work can be very important for your colleagues or as a tool for your company. Habits expert James Clear, author of ‘Atomic habits‘ Point out That, “if you have a hard time maintaining a habit because you think you are a discomfort, choose a different version of that habit. Each person likes different things. Find the most pleasant version of each habit you practice. Make your habits fun.” This, extrapolated to initiate a task that you consider boring consists of find a way to liven up. An option can be, for example, listen to some music or a podcast while doing the task. The association of a pleasant activity with a monotonous or boring causes the second to become less heavy. Another alternative that proposes Kirsten Milliken, psychologist and author of the book ‘Playdhd‘is to apply the Gamification to the task. This strategy consists of set small challenges Let the task more interesting. A kind of game in the form of play that takes you to its completion. How many data are you able to enter a certain period of time? How can you optimize the task to eliminate steps and do it faster or less effort? The objective, in short, is to disconnect the sensation of tedium and boredom of that concrete task. In this way, you will not respond when Have to do itbut you will see it as an occasion to listen to the last episode of your favorite podcast or review the songs of your playlist.

China set up its own “OPEC of solar panels” to avoid an internal price war. It came out regular

by

If there is currently a power in renewables, it is China. The country installs 60% of the world’s renewable capacity and has huge projects underway like his ‘Solar Great Wall‘, he largest wind turbine in the world and ambitious plans offshore energy both wind and photovoltaic. In the solar energy segment there are so many companies competing for the same piece of the pie that even the biggest ones are drowning. And with problems everywhere, the industry wanted to emulate the oil sector with a great self-control pact. The first attempt has gone wrong. Saturation. The storm began in 2021. It was the year in which China presented its net zero emissions plan for 2060 with a very ambitious goal: at least 1,200 GW of solar and wind capacity installed by 2030. Energy companies got down to business , but there were also companies not endemic to the energy sector that jumped on the bandwagon of what aimed to be a very lucrative business. The problem is that it was carried out without apparent control, with everyone fighting the war on their own. The result? Large projects throughout the country and such a beastly production of solar panels that it has stifled companies from outside Chinabut also an annual production capacity of around 1,200 GW of panels. So we don’t all fit. This might seem good, but it is not: it represents double global demand in 2024 and is more than expected for 2030. The situation pushed many companies to deduct prices, sometimes below costs, creating a kind of ‘Ice Age’ of the photovoltaic sector with companies such as GLC Tecnology – the second solar company in China and one of the largest in the energy sector– asking the state for help. The reason is that the prices of the entire production chain (from silicon to photovoltaic modules) had fallen below costs and companies were losing money with each sale. As we read In South China Morning Post, the China Photovoltaic Industry Association, or CPIA, estimates that prices in each segment of the panel supply chain fell between 60% and 80% in 2024 from their peak in 2023. Following in the footsteps of OPEC. The problem is that demand also did not follow the trend. According to the energy think tank Ember, global solar installations grew by 29% in 2024 compared to 87% in 2023. In China alone, the expected growth in 2024 was 28%, far from 55% the previous year. In addition, 39 of the 121 publicly traded photovoltaic producers, reported losses in Chinaand giants like Longo Green Energy had to lay off 5% of their workforce. It was necessary to take control of this unlimited production, and it is something that was attempted to be tackled at the CPIA meeting in December of last year. In the la, 33 of the main manufacturers signed a self-control commitment based, according to SCMP, on the agreements of the OPEC -Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries-. The idea was to agree on production quotas based on their capacity, respect the minimum recommended price established by the Association and, with this, wait for the market to regulate itself. First problems. It is curious that, just two weeks after the signing of that self-control pact, the CPIA issued an open letter criticizing a solar project in Xinjiang that was violating the agreement. The problem? The company, a subsidiary of the China Energy Investment Group, set a price “significantly lower” than the 0.68 yuan – about 0.09 euros – per watt stipulated by the CPIA. It is something that has weakened the morale of an industry that considered an OPEC-style pact as one of the last realistic resources to save solar-related companies and jobs in the country before taking actions that end with closures and layoffs. The Government puts its hand. This is something that worries government institutions and companies themselves because a negative climate in which companies are operating at a loss or without achieving financial objectives can have a disastrous consequence: compromising the quality of the panels and the industry, prevent innovation and, therefore, make China blur what has been achieved in recent years, disappearing the competitive advantage and causing the loss of talent. And the CPIA is not the only one that has tried to control the situation. The central government also imposed some measures to curb the expansion, such as increasing minimum capital requirements for new panel manufacturing projects from 20% to 30%, lower export tax rebates, and stricter limits on water and energy consumption. . For example, the permitted electricity consumption for existing manufacturers was reduced from 80 kWh/kg to 60 kWh/kg. It’s complicated. The problem is that the industry is, at this point, too big. With the new government measures on energy use, it is estimated that production capacity will be between 20% to 30%. But the problem is, as Jessica Jin – an analyst at S&P Global – points out, that the main obstacle will be controlling all the factories in the country to ensure that they comply with the measures. In the end, what is happening in China is something that has been brewing for months: they lead the solar panel market (by a lot), but they have grown without control and this accelerated boom is currently being regulated based on demand both internal and external.

Trick to avoid oil splashes in the kitchen

by

The splashes of oils They cause accidental burns, dirty the kitchen and can damage or stain clothing, To avoid these inconveniences when cooking, an expert advises adding a little salt to the pan and problem solved. Chef and author of the recipe book Every day with Babs, Barbara Costello shared a practical tip to avoid splatters; Add salt to the bottom of the pan to keep splatters at bay. Splattering is a reaction when the water in the food mixed with the hot oil evaporates. The trigger for splashing is the steam that produces a reaction in the hot oil that splashes. There are several reasons why splashes occur. 1.- Pans or vegetables with traces of water, so it is recommended to dry them before starting to fry. 2.- Dehydration of food, which is a natural process when frying, since as the Tasting Tablet experts say, the moisture has to come out somewhere. Why use salt? Add salt to the pan before frying, Helps absorb moisture, which reduces the amount of water reacting with the oil, decreasing the chance of splattering. This trick works when using a thin layer of oil, since it is not effective for frying fries or crispy chicken wings. Yes, it works when it comes to sautéing, pan searing, and shallow frying. To fry food in deeper pans, the first thing to avoid is throwing the food, instead it should be placed gently in the oil to avoid splashing. Adding food uncontrollably and getting too close makes us more prone to splashes. To handle food more easily, you can use kitchen tongs. Keep reading:
