China: Gigantic LED in a shopping centre
While transparent LED is still an absolutely difficult "use case" in Europe and North America, impressive applications can be seen in Asia.In the Joy City shopping mall in the central Chinese city of Xi'an, visitors first walk through a gigantic LED-lit glass porch. This consists of customised transparent LED cabinets from the Chinese manufacturer Nexnovo. The structure, which is the size of 16 football pitches, was realised by Arquitectonica from the United States of America (USA).The glass porch has an irregular, diamond-shaped structure. Nexnovo used a total of 410 panels in 33 different sizes from its NE series with a pixel pitch of 40 millimetres. This results in an area of 831 square metres. In a video published by Nexnovo, you can see how a light show starts on the glass façade at dusk. The content is coordinated with the various diamond-shaped levels.The Joy City shopping mall was built around two years ago. It is located in the Qujiang New District, which was originally built as a tourist district, which is why there are many shopping attractions and hotels here.Watch the video, you may be amazed and realise that Asia is outrunning the rest of the world in terms of the future...!
Did you know everything about panda bears?
Did you already know everything about the cute panda bears? Here we tell you a few important things you may not have known about pandas.Do pandas have a second thumb?The panda has actually developed a second thumb during evolution. The reason: the extended carpal bone enables it to hold bamboo poles better. The rest of its body is also perfectly adapted to its diet: Its oesophagus, for example, is lined with horn - so the sharp-edged pieces of bamboo cannot scratch it when it swallows.18 kilos of bamboo - and then what?Eating and sleeping fill almost the whole day. Sounds good, but he also has to eat a huge mountain of up to 18 kilos of bamboo every day. The bamboo is so low in calories and nutrients that the panda neither moves quickly nor engages in particularly intensive activities - apart from eating and, well, the opposite. The panda also produces ten kilograms of faeces every day.Bear, dog, cat - what is the panda?The panda belongs to the Ursidae family (large bears). In Chinese, however, it is called a big bear cat. Its scientific name (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) provides clarification: black and white cat-footed panda. Although it is not as fleet-footed as a cat, it can see just as well at night as it has pupils similar to those of a cat.Why are pandas black and white?Camouflage, warmth or fashion? It's a mystery: from deterring enemies to camouflage in the snow-covered bamboo slopes to thermoregulation, there is much debate among scientists.Pandas only eat bamboo? Not quite...Pandas are flexitarians. Although the panda is a carnivore, its diet is largely vegetarian. And yes, 99 per cent of their diet consists of bamboo. It also eats herbs such as buckthorn and gentian. It also eats caterpillars and small vertebrates that come across its nose.How many pandas are there in the wild?In the 1970s, there were barely more than a thousand animals. Today, thanks to effective conservation work, there are once again around 1860 pandas in the wild, although they only inhabit a fraction of their original territory. Only a maximum of 250 individuals live in each individual area. Unlike other bears, pandas do not hibernate. They only migrate to lower-lying and therefore somewhat warmer regions.How do pandas communicate?Pandas use a wide variety of sounds to express themselves. When mating, you can hear a chirping, a "honking" when they feel uncomfortable. They can also bleat like a goat - this is their way of making friendly contact. A loud bark is intended to warn an enemy. When pandas scream, they are in pain or want to be subdued.Poaching? Death penalty in China!Pandas are no longer hunted today because there is virtually no market since poaching pandas is severely penalised - in China even with the death penalty. However, pandas still fall victim to hunters because they die in traps made of wire snares that were actually set up to hunt other animals.And if you don't love pandas yet, just watch our video and you'll be amazed at what a panda can do...!

Nepal: Crowd demands reinstatement of the monarchy
In Nepal, riot police used batons and tear gas to stop thousands of supporters of the country's former king from marching to the capital's center. The demonstrators, rallying for the restoration of the monarchy and Nepal's status as a Hindu state, faced police resistance as they moved from the outskirts of Kathmandu towards the city center. Minor injuries were reported during the clash. The authorities had previously banned protests in key areas of the city.The protesters, expressing deep loyalty to ex-King Gyanendra, came from across Nepal, demanding the reinstatement of the monarchy, which was abolished in 2008. They criticized the government and political parties for corruption and poor governance. The monarchy's end came after the 2006 street protests against King Gyanendra's authoritarian rule led to the introduction of democracy. In 2008, Nepal's parliament declared the country a republic with a president as head of state. Since then, Gyanendra has lived as a private citizen with limited public support and little prospect of regaining power. Additionally, the demonstrators called for Nepal to revert to being a Hindu state, a status it lost in 2007 when it was declared a secular nation.

Israel in the fight against the terror scum of Hamas
The IDF (Israeli army) is finally penetrating the strongholds of the terrorist organisation Hamas and eliminating this terrorist scum!Israel has every right to completely annihilate Hamas and Hezbollah, by whatever means because terrorists have no right to exist, and a majority also recognises Israel's right to defend itself by any means, according to a recent survey by the INSA polling institute.Like Russia, the Middle East knows only one language, the language of strength:The goal of the terrorist organisation Hamas and its criminal financiers in Iran is to isolate Israel from the other states in the region and to bind these countries to the Iranian axis. Away from the pragmatic axis of Israel, Saudi Arabia and the USA - and towards Iran.Above all, Europe must wake up and learn one thing from the recent Hamas massacre in Israel: "You cannot live with a threat from fanatical Islamists in Europe, with people who are in no way willing to integrate and who do not recognise and despise the word "tolerance"!Above all, Germany must now quickly learn the bitter lesson from the massacre of Islamists in Israel because German politicians have allowed too many Israel-haters into Germany completely blindly and are financing these Islamist structures every day with the hard-earned money of German taxpayers!Therefore, we must neither allow the Iranian threat to continue to grow because Iran wants to destabilise the Arab region, develop nuclear weapons and carry out terrorist attacks all over the world, including in Europe, nor must we allow Russia to continue to exist as a terrorist state in exchange for cheap gas and oil because Russia is nothing other than the state terrorists in Tehran, Russia is a totalitarian regime whose dictatorship, just like Iran, must be destroyed.The terrorist leaders in Iran as well as in Russia must be brought to justice quickly and tried as at the time of the Nuremberg war crimes trials, if they can be caught; if they cannot be caught, they must be killed, whatever the cost!Therefore, it is time for the traffic light government, above all Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD - Social Democratic Party of Germany) and his whisperer Jens Plötner, who has been heavily criticised time and again, to take a stand:CRITICISM OF CHANCELLOR WHISPERER JENS PLÖTNER:- In April 2022, after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the ambassador of Ukraine, Andrij Melnyk accused Germany of continuing to have too many vested interests in relation to Russia, such as its dependence on gas, oil and coal, and named Plötner and the State Secretary at the Federal Foreign Office, Andreas Michaelis, by name. The actions of former Foreign Minister and current Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier as Head of the Chancellery and later as Foreign Minister were also to blame.- At a DGAP (European Think Tank Conference 2023) conference on 20 June 2022, according to an American participant, he is said to have made insensitive remarks about the Ukrainians fighting a defence battle and called for greater attention to be paid to future relations with Russia. - At the Bundeswehr (Armed forces of Germany) conference on 10 November 2023, Plötner made insulting remarks about the Chair of the Defence Committee, FDP (Free Democratic Party, Germany) politician Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann.

What remains of the EU leader's visit to Kiev?
Russia is a nefarious terrorist state that has invaded its neighbour, Ukraine, out of pure imperialist greed, murdered the Ukrainian civilian population, committed war crimes (rapes, murders, robberies, extortion and many other atrocities), so international observers are right to ask: "What remains of the visit of the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, to Kiev, apart from fine words and stupid slogans?"The states of the European Union (EU) are hopelessly divided, Hungary is behaving like a totalitarian regime as a "friend of Russia" with its Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and Robert Fico, who is no better than Viktor Orbán, has recently taken over in Slovakia!To this day, there is no general EU embargo against the Russian terror state and its war criminal, the Russian dictator Vladimir Putin (71), who hides like a cowardly rat in his Russian bunker and meanwhile whips thousands of Russian soldiers to the Ukrainian front like the mass murderer Josef Stalin, nor is the military support of the great European Union for Ukraine so great, that Russia has to fear defeat in Ukraine, from the full-bodied, completely empty speeches of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) to the Russian lickspittle Viktor Orbán, so what does Ursula von der Leyen leave behind in Ukraine, apart from a nice smile to the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi, who is begging for help around the clock?
Gaza: Hamas terrorists responsible for expulsion
More than 1.5 million of Gaza's residents have been uprooted from their homes according to UN:The bestial Hamas terrorists are responsible, but instead of the world community using military force to eradicate this Islamic terror together, Israel is loudly called upon to show restraint!According to the UN, more than half the population of the Gaza Strip has been driven from their homes.Conclusion of the shameful double standards of the Arab world:But anyone who believes that the Arab states would want to take in the "refugees" from the Gaza Strip is mistaken, nobody wants to risk bestial Hamas terrorists coming as "refugees", the "love" of all Islamists and "friends of Palestine" does not go that far, instead the Arab world shouts "Allah Hu Akbar" at the top of its voice from a safe distance, from which you can recognise the oh so "God-fearing" cynicism of the Syrians, Egyptians of other Arab states, freely according to the motto: "rather shout Allah HU Akbar" instead of helping and taking in refugees from the Gaza Strip. ..!
Vice-Chancellor Habeck: Empty words without action?
It is now almost four weeks since the Hamas terror attack on Israel. A lot has happened since then, the public debate has become heated and confused. The video therefore contains some thoughts from Vice-Chancellor and Minister Robert Habeck on categorisation and differentiation.But will these sensible, fine words also be followed by legal action against the anti-social Islamist agitators in Germany, or will it, as is so often the case with the German government, remain just unfounded phrases?
Israel: More bodies, weeks after Hamas terror attack
TV teams from all over the world were given access to Kibbutz Be'eri in the south of Israel, where the Arab terrorists of Hamas bestially murdered 130 people - more than 10 percent of the population - and tortured, raped and mutilated their victims on 7 October.Even after weeks, victims are still being found in Israel who were murdered by the animals in human form, the terror organisation Hamas, on 07 October 2023!
Israel politician threatens russian terror state on Russian TV
The Russian propaganda TV channel "RT", financed by the Russian terror state, attempted a propaganda show on Russian state TV, via a live link to the very well-known Israeli politician, Amir Weitmann. But Weitmann would not be taken in by the usual dull and mindless propaganda of the "RT" makers and said clearly that they would know very well in Israel that the Russian terror state would cooperate with the criminal dictator regime of Iran!Therefore, the Israeli politician Amir Weitmann, from the Likud party ruling in Israel, then also threatened the Russian terror state with serious consequences on the Russian propaganda television "RT", hear and see for yourself.This shows once again that Russia is not only completely isolated internationally, but is also making more enemies every day, which, however, does not seem to matter to the mass murderer and state terrorist Vladimir Putin (71), at least "yet"...
