Ya no salen las cuentas, el 'boom' del alquiler turístico se desinfla y regresa el tradicionalLa rentabilidad final depende mucho la ubicación del inmueble -en qué ciudad se encuentra y dentro de ésta, en qué zona-, pero también del número de días que se consiga alquilar

A chemical banned around the globe for the last 30 years has made an unfortunate resurgence. And all signs, in a new study, point to China as the culprit.In the 1980s, countries came together to sign The Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, a landmark treaty designed to halt and reduce the production of chlorofluorocarbons (CFC), chemicals used in fridges and foams that had the side effect of tearing through the Earth’s ozone layer.The Montreal Protocol has been signed by 197 countries around the world, including Canada, the U.S., and China. As the ozone layer in our upper atmosphere slowly depleted — letting in an increasing amount of the sun’s ultraviolet rays — the protocol contributed to a significant reduction in harmful CFCs, which then allowed for a slow healing of the damaged ozone layer.That is until last year, when scientists from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association found that global emissions of Trichlorofluoromethane (CFC-11) have actually been increasing since 2013.The increase implied that someone was secretly violating the Montreal Protocol. But the limitations of measuring devices meant the location of the polluter could only be traced to somewhere in east Asia.Now, in a new study published in Nature on May 22, scientists from the University of Bristol, Kyungpook National University, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology found that between 40 and 60 per cent of total global CFC-11 emissions originate from eastern China.With the help of an international network of measurement devices designed to identify and track gases in the atmosphere, the team behind the study found that data from their devices in Korea and Japan has spiked since 2013. After analyzing weather and wind patterns to determine the origin of the gas increase, it led them to eastern mainland China, around the Shandong province.“It wasn’t entirely a surprise,” said Matthew Rigby, lead author of the study and Reader in Atmospheric Chemistry in the School of Chemistry at the University of Bristol. A few months after the initial report was released last year, both the Environmental Investigation Agency and the New York Times published reports in which Chinese manufacturers in the region confirmed they were using CFC-11 in the production of foams.Manufacturers told the EIA they continued to use the banned product because of its better quality and cheaper price. The New York Times reported that some factories were producing the gas in secret, while other manufacturers said the local governments turned a blind eye.However, Rigby said scientists and watchdogs didn’t know just how much manufacturers in China were emitting — about 7,000 tonnes of CFC-11 since 2013 in that area alone.“That’s more than double the emissions we were expecting from China at the time,” he said. “Was this enough to account for a substantial fraction of the global emissions rise that we saw? What we’ve found in this study is that, yes, it is globally significant.”Rigby also mentions that CFC-11 is a greenhouse gas, about “5,000 times more potent than carbon dioxide at warming the climate.”The Chinese government has been cracking down on illegal CFC-11 manufacturers and shutting down production facilities and Rigby hopes this new study will help law enforcement officials in their search for illicit producers.Due to the limited locations of their monitoring network, Rigby said the study team cannot conclusively determine where the rest of the CFC emissions are coming from, pointing out they have no information on regions such as South America, western China and India.According to a 2018 United Nations report, due to the progress of the Montreal Protocol, the huge ozone hole that forms above Antarctica could be completely healed by the mid-century.But Rigby said if the increased emissions from eastern China aren’t stopped soon, the healing process could be delayed by “potentially decades.”
¿Y cual se supone que debe ser el poder de un Ayuntamiento? Un político, por muy cristiano, economista y rojeras que sea, debe tener el MÍNIMO poder posible.Recordemos que ÚNICAMENTE son gestores de lo público, y durante un tiempo limitado. Muy pronto, además (gracias a Dios) por ley.Es que uno se levanta por las mañanas sabiendo que algunos alcaldes Y ALCALDESAS están pensando ya en GESTIONAR LO PRIVADO, y se asusta.Y si. Las alcaldesas de referencia piensan en gestionar lo privado cuando te dicen el coche que has de comprar, la empresa de taxis que debes usar, los patinetes de alquiler que puedes o no puedes utilizar y hasta el precio al que tienes que alquilar tu piso. Empiezan gestionando lo de todos y terminan disfrutando el yate "de todos".
A Silicon Valley chip startup has accused a top executive of China’s Huawei Technologies Co Ltd, Deputy Chairman Eric Xu, of participating in a conspiracy to steal its trade secrets, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday, citing court documents.The allegations were made in a lawsuit set for trial on June 3 in federal court in the Eastern District of Texas, in which CNEX Labs Inc claimed that Huawei engaged in a multiyear conspiracy to steal company’s solid-state drive computer storage technology, including with the help of a Chinese university, the WSJ reported.Both, Huawei and CNEX did not immediately respond to a request for comment.California-based CNEX is developing technology to enhance the performance of solid-state drives in data centers and has been in a dispute with Huawei since 2017.It had accused Huawei of enlisting a Chinese university professor working on a research project to improperly access the startup’s technology.

Empiezan gestionando lo de todos y terminan disfrutando el yate "de todos".Si, pero el control del precio "al que tienes que alquilar el piso" ya existe, y lo estamos viendo en directo ahora mismo. El control de precios lo hacen a través de Bancos Malos, rescates bancarios - que en realidad son rescates a hipotecados -, restricción de la oferta en planes urbanísticos, "fondos buitres", públicos y privados, con potencial financiero para aguantar con el pisito congelado el tiempo que haga falta; todo por mantener el control de los precios. Tiene razón el Banco de España cuando dice que no hay burbuja inmobiliaria: se refiere a que los precios de la vivienda ya no los sujetan los pasivos de los bancos, sino que se ha pasado a lo que yo llamo la burbuja inmobiliaria 2.0: control directo de la oferta por parte del comité central; si no querías socialismo, pues toma dos tazas. Estamos en la Unión Soviética, año 1.960; todavía quedan 30 años para que caiga el muro de Berlín y se termine la farsa.

Explainer: China's rare earth supplies could be vital bargaining chip in U.S. trade warAlthough they are more abundant than their name implies, they are difficult and costly to mine and process cleanly. China hosts most of the world’s processing capacity and supplied 80% of the rare earths imported by the United States from 2014 to 2017. In 2017, China accounted for 81% of the world’s rare earth production, data from the U.S. Geological Survey showed.
