Vor kurzen hörte ich einen Historiker, dessen Forschungsobjekt die Geschichte der Energie ist. Er eklärt, dass niemals in der menschlichen Geschichte hatten wir eine dieser so-genannten „Energiewenden“ erlebt. Wir haben immer die Energien „angehäuft“ sozusagen, zu einander hinzugefügt, und sehr oft bedeutet die Entwicklung einer neuen Energie einen erhöhten Verbrauch der bisher existierenden Energien. Z.B. hat der Holzverbrauch in England im XIX. Jahrunderts mit der Verbreitung der Kohle nicht abgenommen, sonder zugenommen!
Unter dem Begriff „Energiewende“ versteht man „Elektrifiezierung“, vor allem durch Photovoltaik und Windkraft. Wie die Grafik anbei es zeigt, sind die erneubaren Energien nur ein sehr kleiner Teil der gesamten Energien, die wir heute benutzen, und Wasserkraftsstrom repräsentiert eine große Prozentangabe dieses kleinen Teils. Auch wenn eine Windkraftanlage in jedem Quadrameter von Europa stehen würde, könnte man nicht die heutigen fossilen Energien ersetzen. Es ist sogar schlimmer: Die Entwicklung von Windkraftanlagen bedeutet die Entwicklung von fossilen Energien. Eine Windkraftanlage erzeugt Energie, nur wenn der Wind weht. Elektrizität braucht man aber die ganze Zeit. Daher braucht man „kontrollierbare“ Energiequellen, um auszugleichen. In einigen Ländern geht es um Kernkraftwerke, aber in anderen geht es um Kohlenkraftwerke, die echte ökologische Katastrophen sind...
Man muss dazu hinzufügen, dass die oben erwähnte Elektrifiezierung eine riesige Menge an Metallen erfordert, die gar nicht erneubar sind. Die Gewinnung gewisser Metalle sollte man zwei-, fünf-, zehnfach multiplizieren! Auch mit der heutigen Erzeugung gibt es Probleme. Ein berühmtes Beispiel ist die Kupfergewinnung, die eine wahnsinnige Menge an Wasser benötigt, in Ländern wie Chile, die schon Trockenheitsprobleme haben. Die Bergbauindustrie — durch ihre rücksichtslosen Gewinnungsmethoden — ist der Umwelt schon sehr schädlich. Ich interessiere mich sehr für dieses Thema, also habe ich auch Experte der Bergbauindustrie gehört und es scheint, dass die neusten wissenschaftlichen Beiträgen davor warnen, dass die für die „Energiewende“ benötigte zunehmende Metallegewinnung der Umwelt schädlicher, als die heutige Situation mit den fossilen Energien, sein könnte...
Im besonderen Fall Frankreichs gibt es die (politische) Frage der Kernkraftwerke, die in sich selbst einen ganzen Eintrag verdienen würde.
Es gibt viel mehr zu sagen, aber zusammengefasst denke ich, dass die so-genannte „Energiewende“ unmöglich ist. Das ist ein schön klingendes aber realitätsfremdes Greenwashing-Motto. Es wäre viel kluger, uns für die unvermeidbare Abnahme des Verbrauchs fossiler Brennstoffe vorzubereiten, d.h. für den allmählichen Zerfall der themo-industriellen Zivilisation, denn das könnte unsere Gesellschaften sehr erschüttern. Wir mögen aber lieber den Lerchenspiegel der Energiewende. Business as usual...

My dog’s name is Peachy. I love her very much. She’s a beautiful Pomeranian spitz. She’s 1,5 years old, and she as clever as a shepherd dog.
I was always sure of my love for cats. But life has told me another thing.
On my stressful days she brings me joy and a good vibes. Spitz’s a really full of energy dog. I love running with her just for pleasure.
Does anyone have a dog?

In the place where I live in summer, it's very hot. The temperature can reach anywhere from 35 to 40 degrees Celsius. So I have been looking for a place to spend the summer for years.
It's of course not very difficult to find a place where it's really cool in summer, but those places have drawbacks.
The northern part of China is cool in summer, but it is a little far from my hometown. I live in the central part of China. The distance between the two places exceeds one thousand kilometers.
Yunnan and Guizhou Provinces are in high - altitude areas. Cities in these two provinces usually have a high altitude, so the weather there in summer is cool. But it is said that the air in the high - altitude areas contains less oxygen, which is not good for people's health. In addition, the temperature difference between day and night is so big that it also does harm to people's health.
Another place is around the Bohai Sea. The coastal areas of the Bohai Sea are considered good places for spending the summer, but those places are still far from my home as the nearest city in that area is still more than 800 kilometers from my home.
The nearest mountain to me is the Dabie Mountain, only more than 200 kilometers from my home. Inside it, there are several places where it's cool in summer due to the high altitude. The distance can satisfy me, but I am still afraid of the high altitude.
I am still hesitating where I should buy an apartment to spend the summer. I will go and see before I finally get one.

This morning, I sat on a chair in the garden, enjoying an iced coffee, completely immersed in the bliss of the morning.
It was a refreshing moment, and I truly love this time of day. Watching the figs and vegetables in the garden grow is also a small joy.
Suddenly, I thought, “It would be wonderful if this place were by the sea.”
The place I used to live was close to the ocean, and sometimes I would go there to read before commuting to work.
The constant sound of waves crashing and the scent of the sea made me feel deeply connected to nature.

Ein wesentlicher Vorteil von praktischen Möglichkeiten besteht darin, dass Studierende bereichernde Erfahrungen erwerben können, die sie bei der Karrierewahl unterstützen können. Oft unterscheiden sich die Theorie und die wahre Umsetzung eines bestimmten Studiengangs. Dies führt dazu, dass sich ein großer Anteil von jungen Leuten desillusioniert und verwirrt fühlt, sobald sie ihr Studium abschließen. Beispielsweise könnte jemand nach sechs Jahren anspruchsvoller Arbeit sein Medizinstaatsexamen bestehen, jedoch später erkennen, dass er blutempfindlich ist. Während viele dieses Scheitern der Unverantwortlichkeit der Studierenden zuschreiben, ist es leider kein Einzelfall. In dieser Hinsicht bieten Praktika die Chance, verschiedene Gänge auszuprobieren, ohne das Risiko von Zeit- oder Geldverschwendung einzugehen.

I went to Belgium when I was in university. My cousin’s family lived there at that time and I stayed at their home for a week. We spent five days in Brussels and two days in Amsterdam,Netherlands. This experiences would be the trigger I started to study English seriously.

Seit 342 Tagen wiederhole ich täglich meine Anki-Karteikarten. Ich setze mich für die Anki-Nutzung für alle Lernende ein! Im Laufe der Zeit habe ich erfahren, wie man eine Karte auf die richtige Weise gestallten kann. Es hat mir Türen zu einer neuen Art vom Lernen geöffnet. Zuerst benutzte ich Anki ausschließlich fürs Englischlernen, aber über die Zeit hinweg habe ich andere Decks für manche Wissenschaften und fürs Deutschlernen erstellt. Wenn ich während des Lesens auf ein neues englisches Wort stöße, das ich im Langzeitgedächtnis sparen möchte, füge ich dieses Wort zu einer speziellen Liste auf meinem E-Reader hinzu. Gelegentlich übertrage ich diese Liste in meinen PC, damit ich Karteikarten erstellen kann. Zum letzten mal hat sich mehr als 200 Wörter angesammelt, und gehe allmählich durch. Obwohl diese Wörter meistens entweder zu formell oder zu archaisch dafür sind, sie in einem echten Gespräch zu benutzen, eigne ich sie mir dennoch an, weil ich halt sehr gerne lese.

OMG! Recently, the weather has been becoming more scorching! Never had I seen! Do you have any tips for cooling the body? Basically, I stay in the inside room with air conditioning. I have a lot of sweat, which makes me feel my skin sticky. I cannot endure it happening. Alright, I want to avoid this topic, because I just feel uncomfortable! Let us bring another interesting thing into this diary. Yesterday, I drove my electric bike to the basketball court. Suddenly, I felt some liquid hit my arm, and I just called out "shit" spontaneously! So I looked at my arm, and I realized it's a real bird dung! crap! Can you imagine how stinky it is? But, in China, if someone had been hit by bird dung, it means you are lucky! Why could I have forgotten buying a lottery ticket yesterday? Now, I feel I lost one million RMB. Crying...

In summer, I usually go for barley tea. In contrast, during the winter and spring seasons, I naturally gravitated toward green tea. The roasted aroma of barley tea gives off real summery vibes and feels so refreshing. Green tea tastes best when freshly brewed, but its flavor and color fade quickly. On the other hand, barley tea stays tasty even after several hours, so I brew a big pot in the morning and enjoy it throughout the day. Another thing I like about barley tea is that it’s caffeine-free, so I can even drink it before going to bed. On a hot day, nothing feels more like summer than coming home and drinking a glass of barley tea packed with ice.

Bored, Adventure, Agreement, Awareness, Contemplate.
These words look like a summary of my life :) I'm so bored with everything, and it continuing like this every single day. I'm looking for an adventure whenever I go outside and it costs a bit more time. When I feel like I'm about the having fun, my day ends before I even realize it. Also, this limited time makes me make mistakes constantly. If I didn't have an agreement with my mom about the amount of going outside each week, I wouldn't return back home at the end of the days. I have contemplated to find a way to run away from my family, living alone in a new life, a new city, or maybe a new country. But as you can see, I couldn't. I can't even create an awareness in their minds about my stuck soul. I'm not a teenager, I'm just a person who is dependent on her family in every way.

I used to learn English in a Filipino online school for a while, which was the first time I had had one - on - one online classes.
At that time, I learned a lot about the Philippines and Filipinos, such as the fact that the Philippines is an island country consisting of many big or small islands. It's a tropical country near the equator. The Filipinos are very friendly and something like that.
After my teachers told me where they lived, I was very interested in searching for those places. By doing so, I got to know the shape of the Philippines on the map.
I often wonder how people can travel in their country. By boat? That would be too slow. By bus? All the islands are separated by the sea. If they take flights, how many airports should they construct?
Transport in the Philippines will be a very interesting issue to study.
Every time I see the islands scattered in the sea, I guess it would be an amazing feeling if I were on one of those islands in person.

This month, we had End of War Day. I always watch the news about the Hiroshima and Nagasaki Peace Ceremonies every year.
Suddenly, I realized that one of my co-workers is from Hiroshima. I asked her, “Did your family have any victims of the atomic bomb?” She said, “Oh,yes. my great-grandfather just melted and disappear.. He went to the city for business alone, and on that day, he never came back. No one knows his story.” Since then, he has been missing.
I was really shocked.
I have never had a friend from Hiroshima before, and even though I am Japanese, Every year I watch the news. but I had never felt the horrible accident so close to me until now. And there were countless citizens like that. It was truly miserable and inhuman.

Hello, I am here because I would love to improve my English. If my English starts to improve, I can look for a better job and find more friends. I am currently living in an area where people speak Spanglis and I have a problem to learn proper and grammatically correct. Thanks for all your help.

My friend gave me British candies called Liquorice All Sorts.
There were various kinds of chewy candies in a package(bag?)
One of them, a sweet and brown one was tasty. It tasted like brown sugar.
I tried all kinds, and when I tried a black one, I found it very interesting.
It was okay, but wasn't really tasty. Only one try was enough for me.
There were round ones with tiny blue beads-like things stick around.
They were also interesting.
However, most of them were tasty other than the two kinds.
Trying new food is always fun for me.

Wooden, Adequate, Analysis, Ballot, Between
I'm going to die on this wooden table. I ate too much, and I still can't stand up. It can be adequate to feed a poor family that the things I have eaten so far. First of all, I need to melt down what I ate. After that, I should think carefully and make an analysis about the ballot. There are two hours left for giving my vote. But also, I haven't made a decision between options yet.

As an early bird, the best moment to do difficult/demanding stuff, like deep studying or doing exercises, is early in the morning. It's working for me, at least for now.
Working out the body is crucial to maintain it and to ensure a good sleep. I'm not interested on being in-shape or having an athletic performance. I'm happy doing stretching session in the morning, it's a way to start a new day properly.
My routines are not longer complicated since the only thing I have to do is to follow a video instruction on YouTube, I don't have to plan anything by my own or take decisions. There a videos for warming up, "core" workout session (chest, back, abs, legs), flexibility, etc.
My morning routines start at 6AM, have a average duration of 30 minutes and I perform them at least 5 days of the week.
This little habit just brings me results like any other thing I ever tried, they are doing so now and will probably continue to do so in the long term.
