These hands have never touched a Computer.“ Instead, he had an assistant who sat next to him on the Computer and its instructions followed. “This is a very unusual Work, but the results are good.”

Glasers of the world happened more breakthrough in the 70s. The state of New York – not the city – commissioned Glaser thus, the Slogan “I love New York” to visualize.

The Russians began to return currency to the banks :: Finance :: RBC

June 24, 2020June 24, 2020 by drbyos

The same opinion analyst at BKF Bank Maxim Osadchy. According to him, in previous months, the citizens formed a “canopy” of cash, which is now converted into account. The main contribution to the growth of deposits in foreign currency in may has made Sberbank, which raised $381 million, says Osadchy. He does not exclude that some players still recorded the outflow of foreign currency savings. The majority of Russian banks have not published their balances on 1 June.

“It is possible that some customers bought the currency. This is supported by the fact that the rouble share of deposits of physical persons has decreased,” — said the Director of analytical group Fitch of financial organizations Anton Lopatin. According to him, citizens also have no reason to open new deposits in foreign currency due to low interest rates. These two factors confirm the version flow of ruble savings in foreign exchange, says the interlocutor of RBC.

Sberbank lowered interest rates on deposits in US dollars

Ruble deposits in may decreased slightly: their volume decreased by 0.4%, or 92,14 billion rubles, follows from the data of the Central Bank. As noted by the regulator, the outflow in may was associated with long holidays and lower incomes. In June, the situation has stabilized: retail customers accounts increased by 0.5%, growing balances in rubles and in foreign currency.

See what the banks themselves

VTB in may recorded a growth of foreign currency deposits by 17%, said the representative. In ruble terms the increase amounted to 28 billion rubles. More than 25% of new deposits in foreign currency were opened with the newly received Bank funds.
May the flow of money in foreign currency deposits and current accounts in Sovcombank considered insignificant. “About the trend or change it to speak while early”, — says the Chairman of the Bank Alexei Panferov.
Tinkoff Bank has observed the growth of foreign currency deposits in may and in April, says the representative of group “Tinkoff”. “This is not a flow of funds from one account to another — in April and may we capture the increase in the total balance of attracted funds of physical persons”, — he said.
The amount of funds in foreign currency deposits remained stable and foreign exchange savings in current accounts in may have ceased to decline, said the Director of the Department of design and savings products PSB Natalia Voloshin. “On the eve of the summer season, the population returned to the currency that is in checking accounts, not to keep their savings at home,” she said.
Bank “Zenith” has not fixed the flow of funds on foreign currency deposits and demand accounts, said his spokesman.
Raiffeisenbank declined to comment. Other major banks did not respond to a request RBC.

What happens to the profitability of deposits

On customer behavior could be impacted by the falling yield on ruble deposits, noted a senior analyst at Moody’s Semyon Isakov. “The renewed decline in interest rates on ruble deposits, the sharp appreciation of the ruble against the background of still low oil prices and the announced tax on deposits — all of this dramatically reduced the relative attractiveness of ruble savings. Given the new balance real rate of return in rubles and potential risks, the increased part of investors prefer foreign currency,” he explained.

By June the average maximum rate on ruble deposits in the largest banks renewed its historical minimum, having fallen to 5.01% per annum. Central Bank has not yet disclosed information on the profitability of foreign currency deposits in may. According to the latest data, the average weighted rate for deposits in dollars in April, was 0.63% for deposits up to one year, including demand, and 0.85% on deposits from year to year. The yield on dollar deposits fell from the beginning of last year. The weighted average rate on “long” deposits in Euro have risen sharply in January 2020, to 0.72%, and in April fell to 0.24% per annum. The yield of deposits in euros before the year in April, on the contrary, returned to growth — the weighted average rate rose to 0.08 percent, but still remains at a very low level.

Central Bank warned of losses of banks from investments in the Euro

Banks began to stop accepting deposits in euros last summer. Market participants explained that in the conditions of negative rates in the Eurozone are savings products become unprofitable.

In March 2020, some banks have excluded from their rulers deposits in dollars due to the sharp decline rate of FRS of USA. But in may some of our players have improved on savings products in foreign currency, according to reports in the portal banki.ru.

Mitigation of sanitary measures and government support will increase savings activity of the population in June, predicts VTB. In Tinkoff Bank believe that talking about a trend growth of currency savings early. “Markets are still waiting the development of the situation with the virus and the pandemic”, — said the representative of the group.

The Russians for a month took deposits $5 billion

“The total volume of foreign currency deposits still substantially below the level of the beginning of the year, and rapid recovery of this figure is to be expected,” said Proklov from the Agency of the NKR.

In South Africa poachers have a free run

June 13, 2020June 13, 2020 by drbyos

Fast two and a half months officially prescribed Lockdown gave the South Africans the course. In front of food expenditure are long queues, Doctors complain more and more cases of malnutrition, unemployment is expected to climb, according to forecasts coming up on 50%. Now the unique animal world suffers. Had a hard curfew initially led to the national parks of the country was at peace, watching Ranger is currently more cases of poaching.

Free the Rapporteur for Africa, based in Cape town.

In the Pilanesberg national Park and the protection of Mafikeng and Botsalano areas, employees of the national Park authority and a guardian of the organization “Rhino 911” dozens of rhinos have cut off the Horn, to protect them from the poachers. The Horn consists of Keratin, a fiber protein that is also found in hair and finger nails. Exact Figures about how many rhinos poached, and how many being dehorned you were held back, in order to protect the animals. Nico Jacobs, a helicopter pilot and founder of “Rhino 911”, reported that during his flights he discover lately, almost every day the carcass of slaughtered slain rhinos.

Dead rhinos in the Safari regions

Without the valuable Horn, the animals can reach a weight of up to 2.6 tons and a body length of almost four meters, for the poacher hardly a value. For a kilo of Horn are currently being paid around $ 60,000. Mainly in the High Society of countries such as China or Vietnam, the powder is as a supposed medicine for any Suffering popular and more expensive than Gold or cocaine.

For the past three years, Rhino 911 supports “” the “Dehorning”. The method is not without controversy. The Horn grows again, however, critics argue that horn loose Rhino bulls were able to defend themselves well. In addition, it was made in the past, the observation that African poachers had slaughtered Rhino without a Horn slaughtered: out of Frustration, because they were chased for days, the traces of a worthless animal, or to prevent this from happening a second Time.

Currently, about 18,000 are in Africa-Wide and 5500 black rhinos live in the wild. Were reported to have been killed in the past ten years, about 9000 African rhinos for their Horns, however, poaching has declined slightly recently. This success is now available on the game. What is striking is that in the past few weeks, rhinos are mainly killed in areas that are in Safari-very popular among the tourists and for the animals as safe applied.

The tourists are missing

“The presence of visitors to protect the animals,” says the German Sandra Claassen, which operates in Cape town, the travel company “Elela Africa”, and on sustainable tourism has specialized. “Now, the poachers have free rein. Virtually unnoticed you can move in the national parks.“ Unlike Tanzania, which has allowed travel again, keeps the South African government for fear of the Coronavirus its borders to tourists and wants to open again until next February for tourism.

For many South Africans, that would be a disaster. According to the South African government are engaged in the tourism sector of the country more than 700,000 people. Thus, every tenth job depends almost on the business with the travelers. Almost 17 million tourists visited the country at the Cape in the past year. But not only South Africa is affected. In the whole of Africa, the travel industry provides for revenues of about 39 billion dollars. And also from Kenya, and Botswana Rangers in the tourist-free time to an increase in poaching.

Not only the attention due to the Safari-vacationers will be missed in the Serengeti, Okavango Delta and Kruger Park. The Rangers fear for their Jobs. “The maintenance of Rangers is extremely expensive, and to Finance without revenue from tourism is hardly,” says Claassen, who supports, among other things, on the edge of the South African Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park, a village community. They now fear that Hunger, many people will again float in the poaching.

Policeman Rick Morgan was actually behind a car that was driving too fast when he saw another car that had trouble keeping on track. He then decided to let the speedster get away and stop the other driver.

A five-year-old behind the wheel

The police said that Morgan initially assumed that the driver had a medical problem or was under the influence of alcohol. The policeman approached the stopped vehicle from behind and wondered why he could not see the driver’s head through the rear window.

Morgan had finally found that a young child was the driver and sole occupant of the car. It was a five-year-old. The shot of the dash cam recorded how the policeman says: “How old are you? Are you five years old Wow. “And further:” Where did you learn to drive a car? “Morgan told the local broadcaster KSL that the boy had been sitting on the edge of the driver’s seat to reach the foot pedals. The child’s parents said they had never driven a car.

The boy had told him that he was on the way to his sister in California. After his arrival, he wanted to buy a Lamborghini. He was under the supervision of an older sibling when he set out. “He grabbed the keys and was gone.” The police noted that the boy turned south from the family home in Ogden on Interstate-15 – “the right way to California”.

After the story became known, the local broadcaster KUTV reported that numerous offers had been received that the boy could go with a Lamborghini. The family had already met a Lamborghini owner so Adrian could enjoy a ride in one of the exclusive sports cars.
