Tube is a tunnel or an encapsulated pathway or track, where hyperloop pod travels. The tube is contained with near vacuum pressure to reduce the air drag on capsule motion. The near vacuum atmosphere in the tube is controlled by installing vacuum/pressure/evacuating pumps at regular intervals along the tube length and maintaining a pressure of around 5 to 6 pounds per square inch. Currently, these tubes are made of steel. Hyperloop tubes would be either constructed above or below the ground, occupying a smaller area than a traditional rail or road. Above the ground tubes are supported by pylons, and each tube is welded or bolted together in a side by side configuration, which allows the capsule/pod to travel in both directions. So far, the constructed hyperloop tubes are above the ground due to the following benefits: Tube erection on pillars above the ground provided benefits of saving money, provision of protection from earthquakes, snowfall, and rainfall, and allowed the installation of solar panels on top of the tube. The energy obtained from these solar panels is used to satisfy the operational need of the hyperloop, as power generated through the solar panels is much more than the power consumed by propulsion and evacuating pumps. Additionally, the solar energy can be stored in battery packs for operation during cloudy and rainy conditions, and during nights. In 2018, the third hyperloop test track was noticed under construction. Hyperloop Transportation Technologies (HyperloopTT) has started assembling its tubes for constructing a 1-kilometer-long test track near its R&D center in France. Hyperloop One has developed 500 meters long hyperloop test track in Nevada, US where hyperloop one achieved a speed of 200 miles per hour.

China’s CSI 300 Index Erases Losses as Investors Focus on NPC
(Bloomberg) -- China’s CSI 300 Index unwound an earlier loss of as much as 2% as investors hunted for bargains, as well as seeking cues from the National People’s Congress that began on Friday.The gauge was little changed as of 2:27 p.m. in Shanghai and the mainland’s largest stock, Kweichow Moutai Co., was the strongest positive contributor. The CSI is close to avoiding a technical correction after losses earlier extended to more than 10% from the Feb. 10 peak.“Today the sentiment is one of buying the dip, with Moutai’s hitting 2000 yuan being a trigger,” said Zhang Fushen, senior analyst at Shanghai PD Fortune Asset Management (LLP). “All of the expensive sectors have fallen significantly and are threatening to destroy their uptrend, but without a massive change in fundamentals and expectations, there’s no reason for them to fall further and reverse from bull to bear.”Shares of liquor maker Kweichow Moutai climbed as much as 3.1%, reversing an earlier decline of 2.2%. Its peer Wuliangye Yibin Co. also rose.The CSI 300 sank the most since July on Thursday, while a measure of two-week volatility spiked to a seven-month high, as investors worried about liquidity tightening and official concern about possible asset bubbles. The recent rout has been driven by consumer staples, with the sub-gauge falling about 20% since Feb. 10.Moutai’s $113 Billion Tumble Is Hammering Chinese Mutual Funds‘Overly Pessimistic’China set an economic growth target of above 6% for the year, well below what economists forecast, and outlined ongoing fiscal support with prudent monetary policy. The government will narrow the budget deficit to 3.2% of gross domestic product this year from 3.6% in 2020, Premier Li Keqiang said Friday at the opening of the NPC.The GDP target is “by no means a low figure and earnings in the nation’s top companies are sure to well exceed that,” said Chen Shi, a fund manager at Shanghai Jade Stone Investment Management Co. “Markets globally have become overly pessimistic on liquidity and in reality, they might be scaring themselves too much.”Meanwhile, things were quiet Friday in currencies and rates. The onshore yuan was little changed at 6.4751 per dollar. The yield on China’s 10-year bonds was also little changed at 3.26%.(Updates throughout.)For more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2021 Bloomberg L.P.

Solid cash flows from operations and sharply reduced debt along with successful capitalisation of business opportunities. Revenue rose by 2% to DKK 21,273 million (2019: DKK 20,946 million)EBITDA rose by 13% to DKK 2,209 million (2019: DKK 1,951 million) Cash flow from operating activities improved by 63% to DKK 2,296 million (2019: DKK 1,410 million)ROIC excl. goodwill was 15.3 % (2019: 12.3%)Proposal that the dividend for the 2020 financial year remain at DKK 14 per share. Outlook for 2021 Guidance for higher revenue and for EBITDA to remain high.Business activity is expected to remain at a high level, and increased investments to be made during the year will provide the basis for additional growth. The coronavirus remains a part of everyday life, but the Group’s businesses stand well prepared for the changing market conditions. For 2021, we expect consolidated revenue of about DKK 21.9 billion and EBITDA in the range of DKK 2,015-2,225 million. Briefly on the development of the companies in 2020 BioMar BioMar had a good year with revenue and EBITDA improving and strong positive cash flows from operations. Despite the unusual conditions caused by the coronavirus pandemic, BioMar managed to maintain near-normal operations during the year. The company established new product capacity in Australia, China and Ecuador and, after the end of the financial year, the planned agreement for a partnership in Viet-UC in Vietnam was finally concluded. Fibertex Personal Care Fibertex Personal Care reported good financial results and maintained large cash inflows from operations. The company increased its volume sales, but lower selling prices resulting from lower prices of raw materials and lower exchange rates led to a drop in revenue. New production capacity is underway in Malaysia and the USA. Fibertex Nonwovens Fibertex Nonwovens reported strong improvements in both revenue and EBITDA. By quickly adapting to the changing market situation brought about by the coronavirus pandemic, the company managed to increase sales of materials for healthcare-related purposes. Full-year EBITDA better than expected. GPV GPV reported a strong earnings improvement in an otherwise challenging year. A surge in volume sales to selected segments, mainly to MedTech, offset slumping trends in other segments. Full-year EBITDA better than expected. HydraSpecma HydraSpecma closed out a challenging year on a strong note in the fourth quarter, increasing sales of products for the vehicles segment and retaining strong sales of solutions for wind turbines and other stationary equipment. As a result, the full-year EBITDA was better than expected. Borg Automotive Borg Automotive clearly felt negative effects of the coronavirus pandemic, especially in April and May when a number of important European markets experienced a significant drop in traffic intensity. However, the company ended the year on a positive note with growing demand. At the end of 2020, Borg Automotive acquired the turbocharger operations of Spanish remanufacturing company Turbo Motor Inyección. Statement by Jens Bjerg Sørensen, President of Schouw & Co.: “Our basic mantra at Schouw & Co. is that results are created by people. When the coronavirus crisis struck in early 2020, there was no doubt whatsoever that the health and safety of our nearly 10,000 employees would be our top priority. Already in February, we defined the foundation for our corona strategy: ‘people first, profit next’. The culture at Schouw & Co. is based on strong values and on delegating responsibility to the executives and managements of our businesses. It has been very reassuring to see how managers and staff alike in more than thirty countries have taken responsibility, and it has been great to witness how people produce solid results when shown trust and given opportunities. I am honestly very proud and impressed by the efforts made by our loyal and dedicated employees across the Group. As in many other years, openness to change and business acumen were key at Schouw & Co. in 2020. We managed to respond to sudden changes to the market situation, adapting quickly and efficiently. We saw our customers’ factories closing at very short notice and had to halt our own production, virtually overnight. On the other hand, there were also examples of how the coronavirus pandemic caused a surge in demand for PPEs and hospital equipment. We have pursued opportunities, been creative, used the potential of our value chains and made the best of a highly extraordinary situation. The strength of our conglomerate becomes clear in times of global turbulence and uncertainty. Our six portfolio businesses give us significant risk diversification, both geographically and in terms of the industries they operate in. Schouw & Co.’s strategy and business model are unchanged and very clear. We develop and transform a diversified portfolio of leading B2B businesses through long-term, inspiring and responsible ownership. Our long-term focus remains the cornerstone of our Group, but we never forget that solid day-to-day operations are the foundations of profitability. Over the past few years, we have upgraded our ESG reporting on environmental, social and governance issues. To complement our annual report, we also publish an ESG report, in which we comment on many of our initiatives and non-financial performance indicators. Our businesses managed to reduce their relative energy consumption and had fewer lost-time injuries in virtually every year from 2016 to 2020. We own a number of businesses where an increased focus on ESG will create additional value.” Jørn Ankær Thomsen, ChairmanJens Bjerg Sørensen, President Schouw & Co. will be hosting a phone conference (in English) for analysts, the media, etc. on FRIDAY, 5 MARCH 2021 at 09:00 CET.

Heijmans and AM join forces in Feyenoord City Rotterdam
Heijmans and project developer AM have joined forces in the Feyenoord City development consortium, which aims to develop and realise homes and commercial and social amenities in Rotterdam South. This collaboration is a significant step towards the integrated development of the area. Homes and commercial real estate The Heijmans-AM consortium will be working closely with Stigam (Stichting Gebiedsontwikkeling aan de Maas – the foundation set up to oversee the area development). Stigam is responsible for the land development. The Rotterdam South area development entered a new phase following the Rotterdam city council’s adoption of the zoning plan in late 2020. Feyenoord City will include the new stadium that will be developed by Stadion Feijenoord N.V. Around this new stadium, the Heijmans-AM consortium will develop an attractive city district that will include homes, a hotel, food & beverage outlets and shops. The Feyenoord City Masterplan gives the room to develop a total of around 3,700 homes and around 60,000 m2 of commercial and public real estate in a number of phases over an expected period of around 10 years. Programme of several sub-projects The programme has been divided into a number of sub-projects. The first phase comprises the Stadskant (Rosestraat and Colosseumweg), Mallegatpark and Waterfront development locations. In the subsequent phases the Strip, Kuip Park and De Veranda development locations will be redeveloped or developed. The AM project Imagine (previously Parkstad-Zuid) will be added to the portfolio of the Feyenoord City development consortium. This project represents total revenue of around € 90 million and will commence in 2021. Stigam and Rotterdam city council Stigam is pleased to be working with the consortium. “This will be much more effective. It will enable us to deliver on the goals set out in the Master Plan and maximise our use of the know-how and expertise of two renowned companies”, says Hans van Rossum, board member of the foundation. The Rotterdam city council backs the formation of the consortium: “These large companies can work together on an equal basis, which will improve the cohesion and quality of the area”, says Sander Geenen, Stadionpark and Feyenoord City programme manager. About AMAM’s passion is the design and development of inspiring and sustainable living environments. As an engaged area developer, we put social challenges at the heart of our development process. As part of this, we focus on the themes ‘Bold sustainability’, ‘Inclusive cities’, ‘Healthy urban living & working’, ‘City and area creator’ and ‘Happy living’. This enables us to create exceptional and high-quality areas that people want to live in, work in and spend their leisure time, all in close cooperation with government authorities, real estate investors, housing corporations, civil organisations, residents and other real estate users.

China to Pour More Money Into Chips, AI and 5G to Catch U.S.
(Bloomberg) -- China pledged to boost spending and drive research into cutting-edge chips and artificial intelligence in its latest five-year targets, laying out a technological blueprint to vie for global influence with the U.S.Chinese Premier Li Keqiang singled out key areas in which to achieve “major breakthroughs in core technologies,” including high-end semiconductors, operating systems, computer processors and cloud computing -- areas in which American firms now hold sway. Beijing will also aim to get 56% of the country on faster fifth-generation or 5G networks. Nationwide R&D spending will increase by more than 7% annually, which “is expected to account for a higher percentage of GDP” than during the previous five years, he added.China is moving quickly to cut its dependence on the West for crucial components like computer chips, an issue that became more urgent after a global shortage of semiconductors worsened during the pandemic. Beijing is also making big bets on emerging technologies from hydrogen vehicles to biotech while looking to ensure its own chipmakers can compete with the likes of Intel Corp. and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. That encompasses a new emphasis on silicon design software and so-called third-generation chipmaking -- two areas critical to Beijing’s drive to achieve technology self-sufficiency.“Innovation remains at the heart of China’s modernization drive,” Li said in an address to the National People’s Congress in Beijing on Friday. “We will strengthen our science and technology to provide strategic support for China’s development.”Li’s speech punctuated goals enumerated in China’s 14th five-year plan, also released Friday, which prioritized advances in younger spheres such as quantum computing, neural networks and DNA banks. The document enshrines a multi-layered strategy both pragmatic and ambitious in scope, embracing aspirations to replace pivotal U.S. suppliers and fend off Washington, while molding homegrown champions in emergent fields.Chipmakers including Shenzhen Goodix Technology Co. and China Resources Microelectronics Ltd. rose more than 3% on mainland bourses in the afternoon. But Hong Kong-listed Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp., China’s largest chipmaker, slipped in tandem with a broader global tech-shares selloff.Read more: China Sets Conservative Economic Growth Target of Above 6%At stake is nothing less than the future of the world’s No. 2 economy. Beijing is moving swiftly while the Biden administration escalates a battle against what it called “techno-autocracies.” That could extend or even expand blacklistings that banned key transactions with corporations from Huawei Technologies Co. to ByteDance Ltd. and Tencent Holdings Ltd.To a country that imports $300 billion of chips annually, a worsening global shortage drives home the risk of relying on potentially hostile suppliers for the building blocks of everything from AI to next-generation networks and autonomous vehicles. Friday’s report formalized China’s ambitions to develop its own software for semiconductor design -- supplanting tools from American firms Cadence Design Systems Inc. and Synopsys Inc.It also pledged to develop its own advanced chip manufacturing technologies and key materials that comprise third-generation chips. The country aims to secure first-mover advantage in that nascent arena, involving compounds such as silicon carbide and gallium nitride and chips can operate at high frequency and in higher power and temperature environments, with broad applications in fifth-generation radio frequency chips, military-grade radar and electric vehicles.While specifics of that endeavor won’t emerge for months, Friday’s documents provided important clues about the envisioned roadmap. That includes building more national laboratories and innovation centers, as well as ramping up efforts to implement a little-heard of program called the Sci-Tech Innovation 2030 Agenda. Beijing also revealed plans to try and entice more talent from abroad via a “technology immigration system,” likely targeting semiconductor hotbeds from Silicon Valley to Taiwan.Read more: China Deals Fresh Blow to Tech Giants in Reach for DataOpen sharing of data will be key, according to the report. Beijing is establishing a platform for sharing public and government data, while simultaneously crafting policies to ensure the security of that information. In a related move, the five-year plan called on technology giants such as Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. and Tencent Holdings Ltd. to share key data, dealing a further blow to companies already reeling from heightened antitrust scrutiny.“Basic research is the wellspring of scientific and technological innovation,” Li said. “So we will ensure the stable functioning of funding mechanism for basic research and boost spending in this area by a considerable sum.”(Updates with share action from the sixth paragraph)For more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2021 Bloomberg L.P.

GMT Assets LLC 11 Broadway Suite 615 New York NY 10004 Homepage: https://www.buycircaknee.com/ E-Mail: support@caresole.com Information on the topic of knee compression sleeves Knee bandages give the knee support and stabilize the knee during movements. This stabilization is especially necessary when the knee joint or the kneecap is overloaded or incorrectly loaded. The knee bandages usually consist of an elastic compression knitted fabric that fixes the tubular bandage on the knee. As a result, the knee pain support exerts pressure on the knee, which restricts certain movements. The bandage against knee pain is primarily used to protect impaired joints, to relieve pain and to protect against injuries. The support for health is also used to recover from injuries and signs of aging. Another area of application of the knee bandage is as a prophylactic gadget during sport, which stabilizes the joints and prevents incorrect strain. Different types of knee compression sleeves are used depending on the area of application. They each have their own properties and functionalities and each have a different degree of stabilization. A basic distinction is made between: Knee bandages to ensure functionalityCompression knee bandagesStabilizing knee bandages The knee bandage for functional security is used to secure and fix the knee joint. It is also called a knee compression sleeve and yet does not restrict the movement of the leg. It mainly serves to promote healing. In addition, it counteracts relieving postures and thus supports the natural posture. However, this knee compression sleeve is one of the more expensive models. In addition, it must be worn over clothing. The compression knee bandage exerts an even, circular pressure on the knee joint and is mainly used when there are signs of overload. These phenomena occur particularly in sports. The main goal of the knee compression sleeve is to relieve pain and support the healing process. Most models can be worn directly during sports. This knee compression sleeve usually lacks stabilization and is also not suitable for major injuries. The stabilizing knee bandage partially or completely relieves the knee joint. Above all, it offers protection against twisting and overstretching of the knee joint. In addition, it relieves the ligaments and supports a function of the joint. The advantage of this knee compression sleeve is of course the strong stabilization, the support of the natural posture and the protection against overload. However, these models are not suitable for continuous use. In addition, freedom of movement is restricted to a certain extent. Knee bandages can usually only produce the desired effect if they are suitable for the symptoms that arise. It therefore makes sense to have knee problems checked by a doctor before buying a knee compression sleeve. Depending on the indication, the doctor can decide whether a knee compression sleeve can be used as an orthopedic aid. In some cases, the costs are covered by the health insurance company. However, the person concerned often has to bear the costs himself. A classic knee bandage usually costs between 20 and 80 euros. You can buy the bandages online directly from the manufacturers and on various sales portals, but also in pharmacies and medical supply stores. In order for the knee compression sleeve to have a protective, pain-relieving or stabilizing function, it has to fit correctly. It is crucial that the knee pain support does not sit loosely, but rather tightly on the knee. This enables the desired heat effect and stabilization of the knee. The seat shouldn't be too tight either, because after all, the blood should still be able to circulate. When wearing the knee compression sleeve, it is important that it is close to the knee. As a result, flakes of skin and sweat collect in the knitted fabric over time, which also reduces the elasticity of the bandage over time. It is therefore important to clean the knee compression sleeve regularly. This is of course particularly easy with bandages that are suitable for the washing machine. These models are washed at a low temperature. They can then be air dried. Further info and a discount can be found here on the official website! Well-known FAQ about this product Q: In which sizes is the Caresole Circa Knee available? A: The bandage is available in one size for men and one size for women. According to the provider, one of the two sizes always fits. If you are not sure whether the size for men or women is right for you, you can easily measure the circumference of your thighs. The Caresole Circa Knee for women fits with a thigh circumference of between 33 and 43 centimeters.
