全球货币政策将回归“正常化”

5、6月中国PPI或将继续面临上行压力。

美国东部时间5月20日,美联储公布4月会议纪要。会议纪要显示,部分联邦公开市场委员会(the Federal Open Market Committee)委员认为,如果美国经济继续朝着两大目标快速前进,那么在未来某次会议中开始讨论调整美联储资产购买步伐的计划“可能是合适的”。这是疫情在美国暴发以来,美联储官员首次讨论收紧货币政策立场的可能性。

事实上,在强劲的通胀数据影响之下,市场对美联储收紧货币政策的预期不断攀升。5月11日公布的中国PPI数据再次超出预期,5月13日和14日,美国的CPI和PPI数据也超出市场预期。在大宗商品涨价潮的持续助推下,全球性的通胀似乎近在眼前。

那么,全球通胀是否已经不可避免?面对节节攀升的通胀预期,全球主要央行“大放水”的时代是否即将终结?中国又该如何防范输入性通胀风险?21世纪经济报道记者独家专访中信证券研究所副所长、首席FICC分析师明明,就上述问题进行一一解答。

全球市场对通胀关注度不断上升

《21世纪》:近期国际和国内市场对通胀的关注都在不断地加剧。这背后的主要原因是什么?

明明:实际上在2008年金融危机之后,长达10多年的时间里,大家更关注的问题是全球低通胀甚至是通缩的问题,这其中核心问题是全球有效需求不足以及产能过剩。因此,尽管在2008年之后,以发达国家为主的全球央行不断地进行货币宽松,对全球经济进行刺激,但是实际上在疫情之前我们发现通胀反而是越来越低的,甚至有些国家进入长期的低通胀,甚至负通胀,所以对应地进入了一个零利率甚至负利率的时代。

那么疫情以来,特别是今年以来,通胀的压力在提升。

从需求端来看,在去年新冠疫情暴发之后,很多国家陷入了疫情的影响,并采取了一系列有效的措施去控制疫情。但是这些措施都会使得需求受到影响,比如出行需求,旅游、商务出行等的需求都会受到影响,所以需求被暂时地压抑。但是今年以来随着新冠疫情在全球范围整体得到有效的控制,需求实际上出现一个爆发式的回升。同时,去年以来,全球的主要国家,特别是以美国为首的发达国家,推出了一系列强力的刺激政策。比如美国政府推出了号称是无限量QE(量化宽松)的政策,这种货币宽松的力度甚至比2008年金融危机之后的刺激力度还要强得多。

因此,一方面是疫情对于需求的冲击是一次性的,那么在疫情得到控制之后,大家的这种正常的生活需求本身就有一个集中式的爆发和回补。另一方面,在全球自去年以来大规模的货币、财政刺激的背景之下,需求本身也有一个扩张。综上,我们看到的结果就是需求并不差,而且今年以来实际上需求还是比较强的。

从供给端来看,疫情对于供给的冲击反而持续的时间会更长。企业的生产实际上是很复杂的一个过程,不是说今天疫情得到控制,明天就可以开工生产,特别是在现在全球整个产业链高度发展的背景之下,任何生产都不是一个国家、一个企业能够解决的,都是上下游产业链共同生产的一个过程。

今年还有一个特点,就是疫情在不同国家的发生和发展出现了不均衡。有的国家控制得比较好,比如去年我们国家是疫情得到最先控制的,今年主要的发达国家也初步得到控制。但是目前来看,以印度为首的部分新兴市场国家反而疫情有加剧的可能性。因此,我们可以看到在不同的国家,疫情的发展程度不一样。

《21世纪》:印度其实在全球供应链中占据相当重要的位置。那么此次印度的疫情对全球产业链是否有影响?

明明:印度是主要的生产国,因此印度的疫情使得整个产业链受到了扰动。我提出一点,疫情对于供给的扰动可能是一个持续性的影响。而且,这两年可能还有一个大的宏观背景是全球产业链的重构,包括美国在内的一些发达国家都要求制造业回流本土。此外,一些企业的产业链实际上也在做一些新的布置和安排,比如前一段时间全球芯片的短缺等问题都对供给形成了扰动。

我们看到目前的一个情况,就是在疫情后的宏观经济和疫情前过去10年的宏观经济出现了比较大的不同。虽然刚才我们说一些中长期压制需求的因素,如人口问题、老龄化问题、收入格局问题,短期都得不到解决,但是短期的供需缺口可能出现了变化。

所以,现在从过去的供大于求的格局变成了供不应求的格局。这实际上是推升全球通胀的一个基本的宏观经济预期,也是对于我们理解目前通胀的讨论的一个比较好的宏观背景。

5、6月中国PPI或将继续面临上行压力

《21世纪》:5月11日,中国率先公布4月CPI和PPI数据,在大宗商品暴涨的背景下,4月PPI同比上涨6.8%,创2017年10月以来的新高,4月CPI同比上涨0.9%,连续第二个月走高。此外4月非食品CPI同比涨幅也从3月的0.7%升至1.3%。你认为PPI是否已经出现向CPI传导的迹象?

明明:从国内的通胀数据来看,4月的通胀数据实际上是比较超预期的。4月PPI同比上涨6.8%,明显是高于预期。实际上我们可以跟历史的均值来比,6.8%基本上是属于历史的分位数大概百分之七八十的水平。近年来, PPI比较高的一个时段大概是在2016和2017年,当时正处于供给侧改革的宏观背景之下,PPI最高的位置大概是7%到8%的水平。

我们看到4月的 PPI已经接近7%,而且目前来看,在基数、轻涨价的原因等等一切的因素影响下,有可能5、6月的PPI还有上行的压力,所以PPI是比较高的。另外一方面,4月CPI同比其实并不高——0.9%。但是其实已经连续几个月上升,而且需要关注的是非食品CPI实际上在4月的涨幅也是比较多的,从3月份的0.7%涨到了1.3%。那么PPI有没有向CPI传导呢?我们看到PPI是比较高的——6.8%,CPI才百分之零点几,还不到1%,我觉得可能有一定传导的迹象,但传导是不均衡的。首先我们要看到PPI从上游向下游传导是要根据不同的行业来判断的,因为上游企业生产是比较集中的,如煤炭钢铁主要都是一些大型企业。但是下游企业,如消费品企业、汽车零售,都是一个竞争比较激烈的市场、比较分散的市场。所以相对来说,上游的企业提价或受到成本的冲击,由于全球需求的提升,它的涨价可能是会比较迅速的。但是下游企业因为面对着很强的市场竞争压力,所以它的提价是比较困难的。但是,从4月份的CPI数据里还是能够发现一些蛛丝马迹。我们看到一些家电产品实际上是在提价,因为上游的铜铁价格上涨。4月还有一个清明假期,所以我们看到受到整个居民消费恢复比较快的影响,机票、酒店等服务业的价格也是明显走高。到了5月的数据,因为今年整个“五一”的消费是不错的,那么5月此类服务价格应该还会有继续上升的动力。

因此,我们可以看到PPI向CPI的传导,但不是一个总体的传导,即现在CPI和PPI还是有很大的缺口,但是如果我们看一些具体的行业,是已经有一些传导的迹象。

《21世纪》:为什么CPI和非食品CPI增幅相差较大?

明明:这很重要一点是因为今年食品价格呈下降趋势,主要是猪肉价格下降。在中国的CPI统计里,猪肉的权重占比是比较高的。但是,在过去的一两年,猪肉价格是比较高的,因为中国猪肉生产有一个“猪周期”,猪肉从出生到生产到消费有一个过程,所以供需的波动导致猪肉出现一些周期性的特征。

过去两年,猪肉产量下降导致整体猪价上涨较快,最高的时候猪价达到40元至50元。而今年猪价只有十几元至20元。因此,今年随着猪肉生产、猪肉供给的提升,再叠加去年的高基数的作用,总体而言,以猪肉代表的食品价格实际上对于总体的CPI起到下拉的作用,最后的结果就是体现出总体的CPI比非食品的CPI反而要低的特点。

发达经济体货币政策陷入“流动性陷阱”

《21世纪》:5月11日,中国人民银行发布的一季度货币政策执行报告称,全球大宗商品价格上涨可能阶段性推升我国PPI,但初步性通胀风险总体可控,并强调珍惜正常的货币政策空间。我们应该如何理解“珍惜正常的货币政策空间”这一表述呢?

明明:既然我们要保持正常的货币政策空间,那么必然有些国家是不正常的货币政策空间。不正常的货币政策空间主要就是以日本和欧洲为主的发达经济体。在过去10年里,全球宏观经济是一个低通胀、低利率的特征,所以很多国家像日本和欧洲都进入了零利率和负利率的一个宏观环境。

货币政策最重要的一个工具就是调整利率的水平,如果利率已经到0甚至到负,那么就没有再往下调控的空间。对于这些国家来说,他们的货币政策其实是比较纠结的,陷入了一个流动性陷阱,没有办法再进一步的刺激经济。

相对来说,我们国家的货币政策空间还是比较充足。特别是在去年面对疫情,我们的货币政策总体积极响应,但同时更多的是关注结构性的问题,没有做大水漫灌。所以,我们现在的名义利率和货币政策空间相对其他国家,如日本和欧洲,是更充分的。我们现在的短期的名义利率在2%左右,中长期的名义利率,如10年国债还在3%以上的水平。即便未来我们面对一些宏观经济的不确定性,我们也有足够的货币政策空间进行应对和反应。

《21世纪》:中国应该如何防范输入性通胀风险?

明明:刚才我们也提到央行的判断就是输入性通胀的风险总体可控。那么在总体可控的背景之下,我们要怎么应对?我觉得也要关注一些周期性的特征,实际上今年大家对于全球大宗商品比较担忧。但是实际上我们回顾一下去年,其实大宗商品的价格是很低的,油价甚至出现跌破成本线的情况,甚至有人在讨论会不会出现负的期货价格的可能性。因此,我觉得第一点,应对输入性的通胀,一定要有周期性的思维。比如,在全球大宗商品价格比较低的时候,我们应该增加战略性的储备,从而对冲未来可能出现的大宗商品冲高的风险。在去年的宏观环境之下,我们就应该尽量地增加国家的战略性储备。如果去年这个时候我们积累了比较多的储备,今年面对涨价我们就不慌,我们没有必要在价格高的时候再去增加购买。

第二点,从企业端来说,我觉得也要更加积极地运用一些风险规避的金融工具,如套期保值,一系列的期货、期权等工具去对冲价格上行的风险。

我觉得主要从这两方面去应对。当然对于国内的宏观政策,我觉得总体还是应该保持以稳为主。

当前中、美两国不处于同一个经济周期

《21世纪》:近期,美国劳工部连续公布美国4月CPI和PPI,两者与去年同期相比均大幅增长,令市场通胀预期抬升。从近期公布的一系列数据显示,美国经济是否出现过热的情况?

明明:实际上,目前的美国处在的宏观经济周期跟中国是不一样的。因为去年我们的疫情最先得到控制,所以去年中国也是全球最先复苏的经济体。那么今年随着疫苗的推进,我们看到美国的疫情也已经得到初步控制,所以现在美国处在的经济阶段,更像是去年我们当时所处的阶段。就是疫情初步得到控制之后,大家的需求明显回升。这个其实大家也可以很容易理解,因为疫情的扰动可能压制了很多人消费、休闲,那么等疫情得到控制,大家可能心情也比较高兴和激动,消费的冲动也比较强。需要注意的是今年拜登政府推出的一系列财政刺激政策。比如,1月推出的1.9万亿美元的财政刺激,通过直接支付给居民发放现金和支票。那么老百姓拿到现金和支票之后,购买的意愿就变得更强。所以,在这一系列的政策的推动下,美国经济出现了比较明显的回升。

短期而言,美国的经济数据CPI和PPI显示实际上美国经济出现了一定的过热的苗头。而且在未来几个月,这个苗头可能还会持续,因为四、五月以来,美国疫苗的推进速度比较快。此外,美国政府也在逐步放松一些防疫措施,包括对于出行和消费的一些约束。随着这一系列政策的推进,可能美国经济,特别是消费领域和服务业,可能会迎来更加明显的回升。

《21世纪》:一些观点认为目前美国的通胀只是短期现象,对此你怎么看?

明明:这种回升,特别是美国通胀的抬升,到底是一个短期现象,还是长期现象?当然,现在这个问题似乎众说纷纭,包括学界、政界、市场大家意见不一致。从美联储的角度,美联储一直认为这种通胀只是一个短期暂时现象,特别是去年以来,美联储修改了货币政策的制度,推出了通货膨胀平均制度。过去美联储的通胀调控目标是2%,一旦超过2%,美联储就会比较快地收紧货币政策,因为货币政策一旦收紧,那么通胀很快就会降温。

但是,现在美联储关注一个平均通胀目标值,即美联储可以容忍一段时间的通胀上行。比如,在最近受到疫情修复、需求回升的影响,通胀出现了比较高的水平。不过,如果美联储判断它只是一个暂时现象,美联储就不会迅速收紧货币政策,这样将令通胀持续的时间更长。所以,这一点可能是货币政策和通胀的相互关系。另外一方面,我们也要看到中长期的经济结构的问题。从中长期来看,最关键的是整个宏观经济里的供需缺口。就短期来说,疫情的修复产生刺激,比如拜登政府给居民发放现金和支票的政策,会提升通胀,但是中长期来看,关键是供给能力能不能快速地提升,甚至会不会回到过去10年产能过剩的情况,这一点我想大家可能还没有定论。

从我自己的观点来说,我可能相对偏悲观一点。我觉得目前全球产业链的重构可能会经历一段比较长的时间。比如最近大家比较关注的苹果的产业链,一些东南亚国家可能是比较主要的苹果一些零部件的代工工厂,那么现在受到疫情的冲击,可能未来要去选择新的、更加安全的生产场所。这都是要花时间的。更重要的一些原材料、产品,如芯片,可能解决起来就更加复杂。

我们还要注意这些年全球对于绿色经济、环保和碳中和的关注。碳中和实际上是一个比较长期的过程。从中长期来看,主要是要靠能源革命和技术进步。但短期来看,那么碳中和可能对于一些主要的能源生产,特别是化石类的能源生产,会有一定的约束作用。因此,基于全球产业链的重构,同时又叠加了全球的绿色经济、环保、碳中和的政策诉求这二方面的因素,我觉得从短期来看,对于供给的扰动可能还会持续一段时间。

全球央行货币政策将回归“正常化”

《21世纪》:在全球通胀预期不断抬升的背景之下,一些新兴国家已经开始加息。比如巴西、俄罗斯、土耳其央行均已宣布加息,其中巴西率先在短短50天之内进行两次大幅加息,这些国家抢先加息的原因是什么?这是不是意味着全球央行大放水的时代即将终结?

明明:我自己的答案是肯定的。随着全球疫情后修复,特别是以美欧为主的发达国家经济,逐步地恢复正轨,那么全球大放水,至少放水的程度或者放水的速度,有可能很难再继续增加。美联储的QE政策,每个月购买800亿的国债和400亿的MBS(不动产抵押贷款证券),目前还是持续的,但首先不会进一步增加购债规模。而且市场的预期比较担心在今年晚些时候,甚至在明年年初,购债计划有可能会缩减。如果预期兑现的话,那么意味着以美联储为代表的发达国家央行,至少放水的速度是在下降。不是说不放水,不是说不扩表,但是至少放水的速度是在下降的。所以我自己更倾向于形容就是全球的货币政策回归一个正常化,就是正常的宽松,而不是极度宽松。

当然在这个过程当中,一些新兴市场国家,如刚才我们提到的巴西、俄罗斯、土耳其这些国家,因为这些国家的经济结构都有一些特点——外债规模比较高,经常项目长期赤字,那么这些国家本身的宏观经济结构就不稳定,就有高通胀的压力。一旦叠加发达国家的货币政策回归正常化,它就会面临比较大的资本外流的压力。那么,这个时候这些国家的央行就不得不被动地进行加息。他们跟发达国家的货币政策可能还是有些区别的,主要他们还是受到本国经济结构的影响。

下半年主要经济体增长仍在回升过程

《21世纪》:你如何展望今年下半年的全球经济?

明明:我个人还是比较乐观的,其实今年IMF和世界银行对于今年全球宏观经济的预估还是比较乐观的。首先,全球疫情终将过去,主要国家的疫情得到初步控制,当然最近新兴市场国家的疫情有些扰动,但是我想随着一系列的措施的采取,总体来说还是会得到控制,而且确实全球疫苗的进展还是比较顺利的。

基于今年的疫情得到控制的这个假设背景之下,我相信今年下半年全球的主要经济体的经济增长仍然是在回升的过程当中。

当然制约全球经济的一些中长期矛盾,如老龄化的问题、收入格局的问题、全球产业链的问题,我认为仍然没有得到解决,所以有可能在这种疫情快速恢复之后,也许在明年甚至后年的某一个时点,经济可能又会重新回到过去的一个状况,有可能经济的增长的动能又会面临不足的问题。

我觉得宏观经济可能还是要分成不同的周期来看,至少在今年下半年,包括明年年初的一段时间,我相信全球经济复苏的趋势大的方向不会改变。

但是从中长期来看,制约全球经济的一些结构性问题还是亟待解决,只有全球各国政府更快地、更好地进行合作,共同地去解决和面对这些问题,比如去解决全球产业链的问题、解决全球环境保护绿色发展的问题、解决全球地缘政治问题,如何更好地合作解决贸易争端的问题。只有这些问题得到解决,我相信全球经济可能才能迎来更长期和更大的增长。

    The survivors of recent crashes were sitting at the back of the plane. What does that tell us about airplane safety?
    <a href=https://kra26c.cc>кракен ссылка</a>

    Look at the photos of the two fatal air crashes of the last two weeks, and amid the horror and the anguish, one thought might come to mind for frequent flyers.

    The old frequent-flyer adage is that sitting at the back of the plane is a safer place to be than at the front — and the wreckage of both Azerbaijan Airlines flight 8243 and Jeju Air flight 2216 seem to bear that out.
    https://kra26c.cc

    The 29 survivors of the Azeri crash were all sitting at the back of the plane, which split into two, leaving the rear half largely intact. The sole survivors of the South Korean crash, meanwhile, were the two flight attendants in their jumpseats in the very tail of the plane.

    So is that old adage — and the dark humor jokes about first and business class seats being good until there’s a problem with the plane — right after all?

    In 2015, TIME Magazine reporters wrote that they had combed through the records of all US plane crashes with both fatalities and survivors from 1985 to 2000, and found in a meta-analysis that seats in the back third of the aircraft had a 32% fatality rate overall, compared with 38% in the front third and 39% in the middle third.

    Even better, they found, were middle seats in that back third of the cabin, with a 28% fatality rate. The “worst” seats were aisles in the middle third of the aircraft, with a 44% fatality rate.
    But does that still hold true in 2024?

    According to aviation safety experts, it’s an old wives’ tale.

    “There isn’t any data that shows a correlation of seating to survivability,” says Hassan Shahidi, president of the Flight Safety Foundation. “Every accident is different.”

    “If we’re talking about a fatal crash, then there is almost no difference where one sits,” says Cheng-Lung Wu, associate professor at the School of Aviation of the University of New South Wales, Sydney.

    Ed Galea, professor of fire safety engineering at London’s University of Greenwich, who has conducted landmark studies on plane crash evacuations, warns, “There is no magic safest seat.”

    Chile’s President Boric leads journey to South Pole in historic trip
    <a href=https://kra26s.cc>kraken сайт</a>

    Chile’s President Gabriel Boric travelled to Antarctica’s South Pole on Friday, a place where no other Latin American president has set foot, according to the Chilean government.

    Boric led the historic two-day trip, named Operation Pole Star III, to extend the environmental monitoring of pollutants on Antarctica, Chile’s government said in a statement.

    He travelled with scientists, armed forces commanders and government ministers from the Chilean capital of Santiago to Punta Arenas, a city in southern Chile, public broadcaster Television Nacional de Chile (TVN) reported. From there, they made several stops before finally reaching the US-run Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, according to TVN.

    Chile is one of seven countries that has a territorial claim in Antarctica, alongside Argentina, Australia, France, New Zealand, Norway and the United Kingdom.

    It is also a signatory of the Antarctic Treaty, which dictates that the continent may only be used for peaceful and scientific purposes.

    While Chile has historically carried out scientific activity in Antarctica’s northern sector, the country’s government is now hoping to expand research into the west of the continent, its statement said.
    Boric called his trip to the South Pole an “honor” and a source of pride, TVN reported.

    “This is a milestone for us. It is the first time a Chilean and Latin American President has visited the South Pole,” he said, according to TVN.

    Scientists have identified an estimated 10% of all species on Earth. Here’s what they found in 2024
    <a href=https://kra26c.cc>kra28 cc</a>

    A toothy toadstool. A vegetarian piranha with a distinctive mark. And a pygmy pipehorse floating in the Indian Ocean shallows.

    These wild wonders were among the hundreds of previously unknown species of animals, plants and fungi that scientists named and described for the first time in 2024, expanding our surprisingly limited knowledge of Earth’s diversity.

    “Scientists estimate that we’ve identified only one-tenth of all species on Earth,” said Dr.
    Shannon Bennett, chief of science at the California Academy of Sciences, in a statement.

    https://kra26c.cc

    “While it is critical to place protections on known threatened species, we must also allocate resources towards identifying unknown species that may be just as important to the functioning of an ecosystem,” Bennett said.

    Researchers connected to the institution described 138 new species in 2024, including 32 fish. One standout was a pygmy pipehorse named Cylix nkosi. The seahorse relative was originally found in 2021 in the cool temperate waters surrounding the North Island of New Zealand, but the species described this year was discovered in the subtropical waters off South Africa, expanding the known range of this group to the Indian Ocean

    “South African reefs present notoriously difficult diving conditions with rough weather and intense, choppy waves — we knew we only had one dive to find it,” underwater photographer and marine biologist Richard Smith said in a statement.
    “This species is also quite cryptic, about the size of a golf tee, but luckily we spotted a female camouflaged against some sponges about a mile offshore on the sandy ocean floor.”

    The researchers involved in describing the new species chose nkosi as its name. A reference to the local Zulu word for “chief,” the name reflects the species’ crown-like head shape and acknowledges South Africa’s KwaZulu-Natal province where it was found.

    On a long-dormant pad in Florida, a rocket that could challenge SpaceX’s dominance is poised to launch
    <a href=https://kra26s.cc>kraken onion</a>

    On a Florida launchpad that has been dormant for almost two decades, a new, roughly 320-foot (98-meter) rocket — developed by Jeff Bezos’ company Blue Origin — is poised for its maiden flight.

    The uncrewed launch vehicle, called New Glenn, will mark Blue Origin’s first attempt to send a rocket to orbit, a feat necessary if the company hopes to chip away at SpaceX’s long-held dominance in the industry.

    New Glenn is set to lift off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station as early as next week.
    https://kra26s.cc
    Площадка кракен
    The rocket, which stands about as tall as a 30-story building, consists of several parts: The first-stage rocket booster gives the initial thrust at liftoff. Atop the booster is an upper rocket stage that includes a cargo bay protected by a nose cone that will house experimental technology for this mission.

    And, in an attempt to replicate the success that SpaceX has found reusing rocket boosters over the past decade, Blue Origin will also aim to guide New Glenn’s first-stage rocket booster back to a safe landing on a seafaring platform — named Jacklyn for Bezos’ mother — minutes after takeoff.

    Like SpaceX, Blue Origin will seek to recover, refurbish and reuse first-stage rocket boosters to drive down costs.

    For this inaugural mission, a smooth flight is not guaranteed.

    But the eventual success of New Glenn, named after storied NASA astronaut John Glenn, is instrumental to some of Blue Origin’s most ambitious goals.

    The rocket could one day power national security launches, haul Amazon internet satellites to space and even help in the construction of a space station that Blue Origin is developing with commercial partners.

    Let's bring you a bit more about reports of price gouging by landlords in Los Angeles, which we reported on earlier.

    Speaking a little earlier on BBC's Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg programme, Jason Oppenheim, a real estate agent in Los Angeles, says some landlords are breaking the law by raising rents more than 10% high than pre-disaster prices.

    "We're having landlords taking advantage of the situation," says Oppenheim, who stars in the reality show Selling Sunset about LA's luxury real estate market.

    "There are thousands of people who are displaced...the hotels are overwhelmed," he says.

    Oppenheim says he sent a client to a rental property which was listed for $13,000 (?11,000) a month. "(My client) offered $20,000 (?16,400) a month and he offered to pay six months upfront and the landlord said 'no, I want $23,000 (?19,000) a month'," he says.

    "There are price gouging laws in California, they are just being ignored right now...it's illegal to take advantage of a natural disaster."

    Most plane crashes are ‘survivable’
    <a href=https://kra26c.cc>kra cc</a>
    First, the good news. “The vast majority of aircraft accidents are survivable, and the majority of people in accidents survive,” says Galea. Since 1988, aircraft — and the seats inside them — must be built to withstand an impact of up to 16G, or g-force up to 16 times the force of gravity. That means, he says, that in most incidents, “it’s possible to survive the trauma of the impact of the crash.”

    For instance, he classes the initial Jeju Air incident as survivable — an assumed bird strike, engine loss and belly landing on the runway, without functioning landing gear. “Had it not smashed into the concrete reinforced obstacle at the end of the runway, it’s quite possible the majority, if not everyone, could have survived,” he says.

    The Azerbaijan Airlines crash, on the other hand, he classes as a non-survivable accident, and calls it a “miracle” that anyone made it out alive.
    https://kra26c.cc
    kraken сайт
    Most aircraft involved in accidents, however, are not — as suspicion is growing over the Azerbaijan crash — shot out of the sky.

    And with modern planes built to withstand impacts and slow the spread of fire, Galea puts the chances of surviving a “survivable” accident at at least 90%.

    Instead, he says, what makes the difference between life and death in most modern accidents is how fast passengers can evacuate.

    Aircraft today must show that they can be evacuated in 90 seconds in order to gain certification. But a theoretical evacuation — practiced with volunteers at the manufacturers’ premises — is very different from the reality of a panicked public onboard a jet that has just crash-landed.
    Galea, an evacuation expert, has conducted research for the UK’s Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) looking at the most “survivable” seats on a plane. His landmark research, conducted over several years in the early 2000s, looked at how passengers and crew behaved during a post-crash evacuation, rather than looking at the crashes themselves. By compiling data from 1,917 passengers and 155 crew involved in 105 accidents from 1977 to 1999, his team created a database of human behavior around plane crashes.

    His analysis of which exits passengers actually used “shattered many myths about aircraft evacuation,” he says. “Prior to my study, it was believed that passengers tend to use their boarding exit because it was the most familiar, and that passengers tend to go forward. My analysis of the data demonstrated that none of these myths were supported by the evidence.”

    A year ago today, things went from bad to worse for Boeing
    <a href=https://kra26c.cc>kraken darknet</a>

    At 5 p.m. PT on January 5, 2024, Boeing seemed like a company on the upswing. It didn’t last. Minutes later, a near-tragedy set off a full year of problems.

    As Alaska Airlines flight 1282 climbed to 16,000 feet in its departure from Portland, Oregon, a door plug blew out near the rear of the plane, leaving a gaping hole in the fuselage. Phones and clothing were ripped away from passengers and sent hurtling into the night sky. Oxygen masks dropped, and the rush of air twisted seats next to the hole toward the opening.

    Fortunately, those were among the few empty seats on the flight, and the crew got the plane on the ground without any serious injuries. The incident could have been far worse — even a fatal crash.

    Not much has gone right for Boeing ever since. The company has had one misstep after another, ranging from embarrassing to horrifying. And many of the problems are poised to extend into 2025 and perhaps beyond.

    The problems were capped by another Boeing crash in South Korea that killed 179 people on December 29 in what was in the year’s worst aviation disaster. The cause of the crash of a 15-year old Boeing jet flown by Korean discount carrier Jeju Air is still under investigation, and it is quite possible that Boeing will not be found liable for anything that led to the tragedy.
    But unlike the Jeju crash, most of the problems of the last 12 months have clearly been Boeing’s fault.

    And 2024 was the sixth straight year of serious problems for the once proud, now embattled company, starting with the 20-month grounding of its best selling plane, the 737 Max, following two fatal crashes in late 2018 and early 2019, which killed 346 people.

    Still the outlook for 2024 right before the Alaska Air incident had been somewhat promising. The company had just achieved the best sales month in its history in December 2023, capping its strongest sales year since 2018.

    It was believed to be on the verge of getting Federal Aviation Administration approval for two new models, the 737 Max 7 and Max 10, with airline customers eager to take delivery. Approvals and deliveries of its next generation widebody, the 777X, were believed to be close behind. Its production rate had been climbing and there were hopes that it could be on the verge of returning to profitability for the first time since 2018.

    Scientists have identified an estimated 10% of all species on Earth. Here’s what they found in 2024
    <a href=https://kra26c.cc>кракен ссылка</a>

    A toothy toadstool. A vegetarian piranha with a distinctive mark. And a pygmy pipehorse floating in the Indian Ocean shallows.

    These wild wonders were among the hundreds of previously unknown species of animals, plants and fungi that scientists named and described for the first time in 2024, expanding our surprisingly limited knowledge of Earth’s diversity.

    “Scientists estimate that we’ve identified only one-tenth of all species on Earth,” said Dr.
    Shannon Bennett, chief of science at the California Academy of Sciences, in a statement.

    “While it is critical to place protections on known threatened species, we must also allocate resources towards identifying unknown species that may be just as important to the functioning of an ecosystem,” Bennett said.

    Researchers connected to the institution described 138 new species in 2024, including 32 fish. One standout was a pygmy pipehorse named Cylix nkosi. The seahorse relative was originally found in 2021 in the cool temperate waters surrounding the North Island of New Zealand, but the species described this year was discovered in the subtropical waters off South Africa, expanding the known range of this group to the Indian Ocean

    “South African reefs present notoriously difficult diving conditions with rough weather and intense, choppy waves — we knew we only had one dive to find it,” underwater photographer and marine biologist Richard Smith said in a statement.
    “This species is also quite cryptic, about the size of a golf tee, but luckily we spotted a female camouflaged against some sponges about a mile offshore on the sandy ocean floor.”

    The researchers involved in describing the new species chose nkosi as its name. A reference to the local Zulu word for “chief,” the name reflects the species’ crown-like head shape and acknowledges South Africa’s KwaZulu-Natal province where it was found.

    The survivors of recent crashes were sitting at the back of the plane. What does that tell us about airplane safety?
    <a href=https://kra26c.cc>kraken зайти</a>

    Look at the photos of the two fatal air crashes of the last two weeks, and amid the horror and the anguish, one thought might come to mind for frequent flyers.

    The old frequent-flyer adage is that sitting at the back of the plane is a safer place to be than at the front — and the wreckage of both Azerbaijan Airlines flight 8243 and Jeju Air flight 2216 seem to bear that out.
    https://kra26c.cc
    kraken вход
    The 29 survivors of the Azeri crash were all sitting at the back of the plane, which split into two, leaving the rear half largely intact. The sole survivors of the South Korean crash, meanwhile, were the two flight attendants in their jumpseats in the very tail of the plane.

    So is that old adage — and the dark humor jokes about first and business class seats being good until there’s a problem with the plane — right after all?

    In 2015, TIME Magazine reporters wrote that they had combed through the records of all US plane crashes with both fatalities and survivors from 1985 to 2000, and found in a meta-analysis that seats in the back third of the aircraft had a 32% fatality rate overall, compared with 38% in the front third and 39% in the middle third.

    Even better, they found, were middle seats in that back third of the cabin, with a 28% fatality rate. The “worst” seats were aisles in the middle third of the aircraft, with a 44% fatality rate.
    But does that still hold true in 2024?

    According to aviation safety experts, it’s an old wives’ tale.

    “There isn’t any data that shows a correlation of seating to survivability,” says Hassan Shahidi, president of the Flight Safety Foundation. “Every accident is different.”

    “If we’re talking about a fatal crash, then there is almost no difference where one sits,” says Cheng-Lung Wu, associate professor at the School of Aviation of the University of New South Wales, Sydney.

    Ed Galea, professor of fire safety engineering at London’s University of Greenwich, who has conducted landmark studies on plane crash evacuations, warns, “There is no magic safest seat.”

    Most plane crashes are ‘survivable’
    <a href=https://kra26c.cc>kraken зайти</a>
    First, the good news. “The vast majority of aircraft accidents are survivable, and the majority of people in accidents survive,” says Galea. Since 1988, aircraft — and the seats inside them — must be built to withstand an impact of up to 16G, or g-force up to 16 times the force of gravity. That means, he says, that in most incidents, “it’s possible to survive the trauma of the impact of the crash.”

    For instance, he classes the initial Jeju Air incident as survivable — an assumed bird strike, engine loss and belly landing on the runway, without functioning landing gear. “Had it not smashed into the concrete reinforced obstacle at the end of the runway, it’s quite possible the majority, if not everyone, could have survived,” he says.

    The Azerbaijan Airlines crash, on the other hand, he classes as a non-survivable accident, and calls it a “miracle” that anyone made it out alive.
    https://kra26c.cc
    Џлощадка кракен
    Most aircraft involved in accidents, however, are not — as suspicion is growing over the Azerbaijan crash — shot out of the sky.

    And with modern planes built to withstand impacts and slow the spread of fire, Galea puts the chances of surviving a “survivable” accident at at least 90%.

    Instead, he says, what makes the difference between life and death in most modern accidents is how fast passengers can evacuate.

    Aircraft today must show that they can be evacuated in 90 seconds in order to gain certification. But a theoretical evacuation — practiced with volunteers at the manufacturers’ premises — is very different from the reality of a panicked public onboard a jet that has just crash-landed.
    Galea, an evacuation expert, has conducted research for the UK’s Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) looking at the most “survivable” seats on a plane.

    Blogger Alistarov Goes All Out
    From a Solo Criminal to a Servant of Organized Crime
    Previously convicted on drug charges, blogger Andrei Alistarov casts himself as a Robin Hood fighting those who have “cheated people.” In reality, however, he serves the interests of pyramid-scheme operators, promotes online casinos and illicit crypto exchanges/phishing crypto scams on his “Zheleznaya Stavka” (“Iron Bet”) channel, and launders drug proceeds through real estate deals in Dubai.
    In other words, he works to benefit the Russian criminal underworld, which seeks to profit from entrepreneurs who face illegal, often orchestrated claims by Russian law enforcement agencies.

    Drugs and Money Laundering
    A native of Kaluga, Alistarov spent four years in a prison camp for selling drugs to minors.
    During his time in prison, he formed connections with criminal kingpins. After his release, he continued taking part in the narcotics trade and laundering drug proceeds through a real estate business he established together with partners from the Russian criminal community in Russia and the Emirates.

    Betting on Scams
    Alistarov’s “Zheleznaya Stavka” channel ostensibly “exposes” financial ventures deemed “bad” by the underworld while promoting “good” ones: pyramid schemes and online casinos that finance Alistarov.
    It began as a channel about “proper” casino bets and never changed its name—because the marketing objective remained the same: to clear the field for “good” scammers according to Alistarov’s so-called “expert” opinion (i.e., whoever pays him).
    Typically, Alistarov starts by attempting extortion—presenting the victim with compromising evidence and offering them a chance to pay. If they refuse, he resorts to harassment and violence.

    Incitement and Attack in Dubai
    On January 1, 2025, two Kazakh nationals launched a brutal attack on an entrepreneur living in Dubai—they beat him, cut off his ear, and robbed him.
    Before that, Alistarov had made 12 videos highlighting the entrepreneur’s address and publishing illegally obtained information about his family and businesses in the UAE. He showed no hesitation in using surveillance, eavesdropping, unlawful trespass, and invasion of privacy—all of which are considered serious criminal offenses in the Emirates, where the sanctity of property and investors’ lives is strictly enforced.
    He previously spread information about the residence of the entrepreneur’s business partner—an illegal violation of confidentiality, financial security, and privacy through hidden sources and informants in the UAE. Alistarov terrorizes entrepreneurs who have not been convicted by any court—abroad or in Russia.
    Alistarov claimed to have reported the entrepreneur to Interpol and UAE law enforcement—allegedly cooperating with the authorities. Yet, for some reason, this did not lead to the entrepreneur’s arrest—perhaps because UAE police see no wrongdoing in his activities.
    Several of the entrepreneur’s partners have been convicted in Russia. As for the entrepreneur himself, he is wanted by Russian law enforcement but has not been convicted. Foreign law enforcement agencies have no claims against him.
    For an extended period, Alistarov stoked hatred toward the entrepreneur—telling people that it was actually this entrepreneur (rather than his partners) who had stolen investors’ money. He framed the incident as though enraged investors carried out the attack and robbery.
    During the assault, Alistarov staged an unscheduled livestream to give himself an alibi—pretending he was unaware of the attack occurring while he was streaming.

    Surveillance in Cyprus
    In the fall of last year, Alistarov and his “partner-in-arms,” Mariya Folomova, carried out surveillance on another entrepreneur—using drones and unlawfully collecting information about him and his family, including underage children. Alistarov asserted that this entrepreneur was hiding in Cyprus—even though the man has lived there since the COVID-19 pandemic began.
    The move was related to the entrepreneur’s wife’s severe bout with COVID, as well as his international projects—investing in multiple economic sectors: construction, trade, and others.
    The entrepreneur settled in Cyprus a year before the Interior Ministry’s investigative authorities opened a criminal case, and a year and a half before any arrests. He holds an EU passport and did not flee or go into hiding.
    He was placed on a Russian wanted list in 2022—by investigative authorities. However, the courts have not lodged claims against him, and the criminal case is currently before the courts—where it has already fallen apart. Interpol and the EU declined to accept the Russian police’s claims, regarding them as politically motivated and legally unfounded.
    Alistarov claims that the funds for certain business ventures came from Russian clients of an Austrian investment company—yet the entrepreneur was never an owner, beneficiary, or manager of that company, which was established back in the early 2000s, well before his independent business career began.
    One of his firms provided marketing support for the investment company’s products in Russia under a contract with it. The investment company operated successfully with Russian clients for eight years—and continues to do so, having restored payment systems that were disrupted in early 2022 by criminals in Russia linked to corrupt police. It is not a pyramid scheme.
    Thus, Alistarov orchestrates harassment and invasion of privacy against a blameless entrepreneur—at the behest of Russian organized crime, which includes corrupt police officers who took a share of illicit profits, aiming to seize assets valued at 20 billion rubles from the large-scale, socially oriented project the entrepreneur established in Russia, which continues to function successfully without his leadership (as that ended when he moved to Cyprus).

    Surveillance in the Netherlands
    Alistarov has published data on the whereabouts of another victim in the Netherlands—in the city of Groningen—located through illegal monitoring. He reportedly gained unauthorized access to city camera feeds, peered into a private apartment, and posted the information on YouTube.

    Breach of Confidentiality in Turkey
    Alistarov discovered and publicized the location of an apartment in Istanbul where several of his victims lived and worked.

    Illegal Tracking in the Leningrad Region
    Without holding a private detective license, Alistarov illegally located a businesswoman’s country house and conducted surveillance on her, unlawfully publishing the information on his channels—while simultaneously divulging details about an apartment she purchased in Dubai.

    Extortion in Kazakhstan
    Alistarov blackmailed Kazakh entrepreneurs under the guise of “exposing national traitors” and “enemies of the motherland.”
    Western media have already taken note of Alistarov’s activities.

    On a long-dormant pad in Florida, a rocket that could challenge SpaceX’s dominance is poised to launch
    <a href=https://kra26s.cc>kraken onion</a>

    On a Florida launchpad that has been dormant for almost two decades, a new, roughly 320-foot (98-meter) rocket — developed by Jeff Bezos’ company Blue Origin — is poised for its maiden flight.

    The uncrewed launch vehicle, called New Glenn, will mark Blue Origin’s first attempt to send a rocket to orbit, a feat necessary if the company hopes to chip away at SpaceX’s long-held dominance in the industry.

    New Glenn is set to lift off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station as early as next week.
    https://kra26s.cc
    кракен
    The rocket, which stands about as tall as a 30-story building, consists of several parts: The first-stage rocket booster gives the initial thrust at liftoff. Atop the booster is an upper rocket stage that includes a cargo bay protected by a nose cone that will house experimental technology for this mission.

    And, in an attempt to replicate the success that SpaceX has found reusing rocket boosters over the past decade, Blue Origin will also aim to guide New Glenn’s first-stage rocket booster back to a safe landing on a seafaring platform — named Jacklyn for Bezos’ mother — minutes after takeoff.

    Like SpaceX, Blue Origin will seek to recover, refurbish and reuse first-stage rocket boosters to drive down costs.

    For this inaugural mission, a smooth flight is not guaranteed.

    But the eventual success of New Glenn, named after storied NASA astronaut John Glenn, is instrumental to some of Blue Origin’s most ambitious goals.

    The rocket could one day power national security launches, haul Amazon internet satellites to space and even help in the construction of a space station that Blue Origin is developing with commercial partners.

    Chile’s President Boric leads journey to South Pole in historic trip
    <a href=https://kra26s.cc>kraken</a>

    Chile’s President Gabriel Boric travelled to Antarctica’s South Pole on Friday, a place where no other Latin American president has set foot, according to the Chilean government.

    Boric led the historic two-day trip, named Operation Pole Star III, to extend the environmental monitoring of pollutants on Antarctica, Chile’s government said in a statement.

    He travelled with scientists, armed forces commanders and government ministers from the Chilean capital of Santiago to Punta Arenas, a city in southern Chile, public broadcaster Television Nacional de Chile (TVN) reported. From there, they made several stops before finally reaching the US-run Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, according to TVN.

    Chile is one of seven countries that has a territorial claim in Antarctica, alongside Argentina, Australia, France, New Zealand, Norway and the United Kingdom.

    It is also a signatory of the Antarctic Treaty, which dictates that the continent may only be used for peaceful and scientific purposes.

    While Chile has historically carried out scientific activity in Antarctica’s northern sector, the country’s government is now hoping to expand research into the west of the continent, its statement said.
    Boric called his trip to the South Pole an “honor” and a source of pride, TVN reported.

    “This is a milestone for us. It is the first time a Chilean and Latin American President has visited the South Pole,” he said, according to TVN.

    New Glenn’s first flight
    Blue Origin formally announced the development of New Glenn — which aims to outpower SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rockets and haul spacecraft up to 45 metric tons (99,200 pounds) to orbit — in 2016.

    The vehicle is long overdue, as the company previously targeted 2020 for its first launch.

    Delays, however, are common in the aerospace industry. And the debut flight of a new vehicle is almost always significantly behind schedule.

    Rocket companies also typically take a conservative approach to the first liftoff, launching dummy payloads such as hunks of metal or, as was the case with SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy debut in 2018, an old cherry red sports car.

    Blue Origin has also branded itself as a company that aims to take a slow, diligent approach to rocket development that doesn’t “cut any corners,” according to Bezos, who founded Blue Origin and funds the company.

    The company’s mascot is a tortoise, paying homage to “The Tortoise and the Hare” fable that made the “slow and steady wins the race” mantra a childhood staple.

    “We believe slow is smooth and smooth is fast,” Bezos said in 2016. Those comments could be seen as an attempt to position Blue Origin as the anti-SpaceX, which is known to embrace speed and trial-and-error over slow, meticulous development processes.
    But SpaceX has certainly won the race to orbit. The company’s first orbital rocket, the Falcon 1, made a successful launch in September 2008. The company has deployed hundreds of missions to orbit since then.

    And while SpaceX routinely destroys rockets during test flights as it begins developing a new rocket, the company has a solid track record for operational missions. SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket, for example, has experienced two in-flight failures and one launchpad explosion but no catastrophic events during human missions.

    On a long-dormant pad in Florida, a rocket that could challenge SpaceX’s dominance is poised to launch
    <a href=https://kra26s.cc>kraken зеркало</a>

    On a Florida launchpad that has been dormant for almost two decades, a new, roughly 320-foot (98-meter) rocket — developed by Jeff Bezos’ company Blue Origin — is poised for its maiden flight.

    The uncrewed launch vehicle, called New Glenn, will mark Blue Origin’s first attempt to send a rocket to orbit, a feat necessary if the company hopes to chip away at SpaceX’s long-held dominance in the industry.

    New Glenn is set to lift off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station as early as next week.
    https://kra26s.cc
    кракен
    The rocket, which stands about as tall as a 30-story building, consists of several parts: The first-stage rocket booster gives the initial thrust at liftoff. Atop the booster is an upper rocket stage that includes a cargo bay protected by a nose cone that will house experimental technology for this mission.

    And, in an attempt to replicate the success that SpaceX has found reusing rocket boosters over the past decade, Blue Origin will also aim to guide New Glenn’s first-stage rocket booster back to a safe landing on a seafaring platform — named Jacklyn for Bezos’ mother — minutes after takeoff.

    Like SpaceX, Blue Origin will seek to recover, refurbish and reuse first-stage rocket boosters to drive down costs.

    For this inaugural mission, a smooth flight is not guaranteed.

    But the eventual success of New Glenn, named after storied NASA astronaut John Glenn, is instrumental to some of Blue Origin’s most ambitious goals.

    The rocket could one day power national security launches, haul Amazon internet satellites to space and even help in the construction of a space station that Blue Origin is developing with commercial partners.

    Chile’s President Boric leads journey to South Pole in historic trip
    <a href=https://kra26s.cc>kraken войти</a>

    Chile’s President Gabriel Boric travelled to Antarctica’s South Pole on Friday, a place where no other Latin American president has set foot, according to the Chilean government.

    Boric led the historic two-day trip, named Operation Pole Star III, to extend the environmental monitoring of pollutants on Antarctica, Chile’s government said in a statement.

    He travelled with scientists, armed forces commanders and government ministers from the Chilean capital of Santiago to Punta Arenas, a city in southern Chile, public broadcaster Television Nacional de Chile (TVN) reported. From there, they made several stops before finally reaching the US-run Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, according to TVN.

    Chile is one of seven countries that has a territorial claim in Antarctica, alongside Argentina, Australia, France, New Zealand, Norway and the United Kingdom.

    It is also a signatory of the Antarctic Treaty, which dictates that the continent may only be used for peaceful and scientific purposes.

    While Chile has historically carried out scientific activity in Antarctica’s northern sector, the country’s government is now hoping to expand research into the west of the continent, its statement said.
    Boric called his trip to the South Pole an “honor” and a source of pride, TVN reported.

    “This is a milestone for us. It is the first time a Chilean and Latin American President has visited the South Pole,” he said, according to TVN.

    Most plane crashes are ‘survivable’
    <a href=https://kra26c.cc>kraken зеркало</a>
    First, the good news. “The vast majority of aircraft accidents are survivable, and the majority of people in accidents survive,” says Galea. Since 1988, aircraft — and the seats inside them — must be built to withstand an impact of up to 16G, or g-force up to 16 times the force of gravity. That means, he says, that in most incidents, “it’s possible to survive the trauma of the impact of the crash.”

    For instance, he classes the initial Jeju Air incident as survivable — an assumed bird strike, engine loss and belly landing on the runway, without functioning landing gear. “Had it not smashed into the concrete reinforced obstacle at the end of the runway, it’s quite possible the majority, if not everyone, could have survived,” he says.

    The Azerbaijan Airlines crash, on the other hand, he classes as a non-survivable accident, and calls it a “miracle” that anyone made it out alive.
    https://kra26c.cc

    Most aircraft involved in accidents, however, are not — as suspicion is growing over the Azerbaijan crash — shot out of the sky.

    And with modern planes built to withstand impacts and slow the spread of fire, Galea puts the chances of surviving a “survivable” accident at at least 90%.

    Instead, he says, what makes the difference between life and death in most modern accidents is how fast passengers can evacuate.

    Aircraft today must show that they can be evacuated in 90 seconds in order to gain certification. But a theoretical evacuation — practiced with volunteers at the manufacturers’ premises — is very different from the reality of a panicked public onboard a jet that has just crash-landed.
    Galea, an evacuation expert, has conducted research for the UK’s Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) looking at the most “survivable” seats on a plane. His landmark research, conducted over several years in the early 2000s, looked at how passengers and crew behaved during a post-crash evacuation, rather than looking at the crashes themselves. By compiling data from 1,917 passengers and 155 crew involved in 105 accidents from 1977 to 1999, his team created a database of human behavior around plane crashes.

    His analysis of which exits passengers actually used “shattered many myths about aircraft evacuation,” he says. “Prior to my study, it was believed that passengers tend to use their boarding exit because it was the most familiar, and that passengers tend to go forward. My analysis of the data demonstrated that none of these myths were supported by the evidence.”

    A year ago today, things went from bad to worse for Boeing
    <a href=https://kra26c.cc>kra cc</a>

    At 5 p.m. PT on January 5, 2024, Boeing seemed like a company on the upswing. It didn’t last. Minutes later, a near-tragedy set off a full year of problems.

    As Alaska Airlines flight 1282 climbed to 16,000 feet in its departure from Portland, Oregon, a door plug blew out near the rear of the plane, leaving a gaping hole in the fuselage. Phones and clothing were ripped away from passengers and sent hurtling into the night sky. Oxygen masks dropped, and the rush of air twisted seats next to the hole toward the opening.
    https://kra26c.cc
    кракен ссылка
    Fortunately, those were among the few empty seats on the flight, and the crew got the plane on the ground without any serious injuries. The incident could have been far worse — even a fatal crash.

    Not much has gone right for Boeing ever since. The company has had one misstep after another, ranging from embarrassing to horrifying. And many of the problems are poised to extend into 2025 and perhaps beyond.

    The problems were capped by another Boeing crash in South Korea that killed 179 people on December 29 in what was in the year’s worst aviation disaster. The cause of the crash of a 15-year old Boeing jet flown by Korean discount carrier Jeju Air is still under investigation, and it is quite possible that Boeing will not be found liable for anything that led to the tragedy.
    But unlike the Jeju crash, most of the problems of the last 12 months have clearly been Boeing’s fault.

    And 2024 was the sixth straight year of serious problems for the once proud, now embattled company, starting with the 20-month grounding of its best selling plane, the 737 Max, following two fatal crashes in late 2018 and early 2019, which killed 346 people.

    Still the outlook for 2024 right before the Alaska Air incident had been somewhat promising. The company had just achieved the best sales month in its history in December 2023, capping its strongest sales year since 2018.

    It was believed to be on the verge of getting Federal Aviation Administration approval for two new models, the 737 Max 7 and Max 10, with airline customers eager to take delivery. Approvals and deliveries of its next generation widebody, the 777X, were believed to be close behind. Its production rate had been climbing and there were hopes that it could be on the verge of returning to profitability for the first time since 2018.

    Kamala Harris and Donald Trump have had a fiery 90-minute debate in Philadelphia - their first of the 2024 US presidential election
    <a href=https://kraken5-gl.com>kra14.gl</a>
    After shaking hands - it was the first time they had met - the pair debated policy before moving onto more personal attacks

    Harris said people leave Trump rallies early "out of exhaustion and boredom" - he said people don't go to hers in the first place
    kra12.at
    https://gl-kra9.cc
    Trump criticised Harris's record on immigration and the border, and also her shifting policy positions - Harris blamed him for "Trump abortion bans" and for the 6 January attacks on the US Capitol

    Snap polls suggest Harris won the debate, but Trump says afterwards that she "lost very badly"

    With the election taking place on 5 November, Harris is slightly ahead in national opinion polls - but polls are very tight in key battleground states

    Shortly after the debate, Taylor Swift endorsed Harris on Instagram, calling her a ''gifted leader''

    Carrie Underwood slated to perform at Trump’s inauguration
    <a href=https://krkns.cc>kraken onion</a>
    Country music star Carrie Underwood is slated to perform “America the Beautiful” at President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration, according to a copy of the program obtained by CNN and confirmed by a spokesperson for the inaugural committee.

    “I love our country and am honored to have been asked to sing at the Inauguration and to be a small part of this historic event,” Underwood said in a statement to CNN. “I am humbled to answer the call at a time when we must all come together in the spirit of unity and looking to the future.”

    The presidential oath of office will be administered by Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts with Justice Brett Kavanaugh expected to administer the oath of office to Vice President-elect JD Vance.

    Trump’s inauguration as the 47th president of the United States will take place on January 20 at the US Capitol.

    Underwood is a big get for Trump’s inauguration, considering Hollywood’s Trump blackout over the course of his political career.

    In his first term and throughout the past three elections, Trump has struggled to garner support from major Hollywood stars. At the Republican National Convention last year, the two biggest stars onstage with Trump were musician Kid Rock and retired WWE wrestler Hulk Hogan – a far cry from a superstar at the height of their career, like Underwood.

    The Grammy-winning artist is as high-profile as you can get in country music, not only with numerous platinum hits, but also with public-facing, mainstream business associations. Underwood is the face of Sunday Night Football and is set to make her debut this March as a judge on ABC’s “American Idol” – the singing competition show that catapulted her to fame when she won in 2005.

    While many NFL fans will likely applaud Underwood for singing at the inauguration, any time a celebrity aligns themselves with Trump, they run the risk of alienating left-leaning fans and Hollywood allies.

    Underwood has kept her politics under wraps over the course of her career. In her statement, she did not mention Trump by name and kept her focus on unifying the country – still, Underwood’s decision to publicly align with Trump is a big statement for any star, particularly one as private as the singer.

    Historically, Hollywood has always been closely associated with the Democratic Party, but country stars have always been an outlier, leaning more conservative. In recent years, as new singers join the genre, country music has gotten to be more progressive. This past election cycle, country stars like Mickey Guyton and Maren Morris stood with Vice President Kamala Harris.

    A brief history of sunglasses, from Ancient Rome to Hollywood
    <a href=https://krkns.cc>kraken официальный сайт</a>

    Sunglasses, or dark glasses, have always guarded against strong sunlight, but is there more to “shades” than we think?

    The pupils of our eyes are delicate and react immediately to strong lights. Protecting them against light — even the brilliance reflected off snow — is important for everyone. Himalayan mountaineers wear goggles for this exact purpose.

    Protection is partly the function of sunglasses. But dark or colored lens glasses have become fashion accessories and personal signature items. Think of the vast and famous collector of sunglasses Elton John, with his pink lensed heart-shaped extravaganzas and many others.

    When did this interest in protecting the eyes begin, and at what point did dark glasses become a social statement as well as physical protection?
    The Roman Emperor Nero is reported as holding polished gemstones to his eyes for sun protection as he watched fighting gladiators.

    We know Canadian far north Copper Inuit and Alaskan Yupik wore snow goggles of many kinds made of antlers or whalebone and with tiny horizontal slits. Wearers looked through these and they were protected against the snow’s brilliant light when hunting. At the same time the very narrow eye holes helped them to focus on their prey.

    In 12th-century China, judges wore sunglasses with smoked quartz lenses to hide their facial expressions — perhaps to retain their dignity or not convey emotions.

    Bonding on a stalled train
    <a href=https://abcdwork.ru/lk/hermes-management-razvod-loxotron.html>смотреть гей порно</a>
    In 1990, Derek Barclay was 21 and studying to become a construction engineer. He’d saved up money from an unglamorous summer job building a prison to buy an Interrail pass.

    “Then, I dumped my bag at my mum’s house and said, ‘I’m off to Europe.’ She was horrified,” Derek tells CNN Travel today.

    “The idea was to go from Casablanca to Istanbul. But I never went to either. Along the way I met Nina and I got distracted …”

    While Nina and Derek formally met for the first time on the stalled train in Belgrade, Derek had first spotted Nina on a busy station platform, some hours earlier, in Budapest.

    When he spotted her sitting on a bench, smiling and laughing with Loa, Derek was struck by Nina right away. For a moment, he imagined getting to know her, what she might be like. Where she might be from, where she might be going.

    But then Derek had ended up on a different train. He’d met and got chatting to Steve the Englishman and Paul the Irishman. The trio had shared a couple of beers, fallen asleep, and woken, with a start, in Belgrade, to a suddenly-empty carriage. That’s when they panicked.

    “We woke up, and just ran down the railway line — because we’re just about to miss this train to Athens — we jumped on the train as it was pulling away, and then it stopped,” Derek tells CNN Travel today. “Apparently that’s what they had to do to get the strike official.”

    When Derek, Steve and Paul opened the door to Nina’s carriage, Derek didn’t immediately take Nina in, focusing instead on the near-empty compartment.

    “Two of them in there, this carriage for eight, they’d spread stuff everywhere. It was obvious it was a ruse to try and get people not to go in. And we thought, ‘We’re not having any of that,’” says Derek, laughing. “So we squeezed in, and that was that.”

    It was only when he ended up sitting opposite Nina that Derek realized she was the woman he’d noticed on the Budapest train platform.

    Then they got chatting, and didn’t stop. They talked about a shared love of nature. About Derek being a member of Greenpeace. About Sweden and Scotland.
