Die Marmorierte Baumwanze (Halyomorpha halys, umgangssprachlich auch Stinkkäfer oder BMSB (vom englischen Namen brown marmorated stink bug)) ist eine Baumwanzen-Art mit natürlicher Verbreitung im gemäßigten (temperaten) Ostasien.

Die Art gilt als landwirtschaftlicher Schädling und wurde als Neozoon nach Nordamerika, später auch nach Europa eingeschleppt und hier bereits in Deutschland, Frankreich, Griechenland, Italien, Österreich, Ungarn, der Schweiz und Spanien nachgewiesen.

Merkmale

Es handelt sich mit 12 bis 17 Millimeter Körperlänge um eine relativ große Wanzenart mit der für Baumwanzen typischen robusten, etwas blattförmig verbreiterten Körpergestalt. Sie ist in der Grundfarbe ockerfarben, mit zahlreichen dichtsitzenden schwarzen Punkten. Am Kopf ist der Clypeus seitlich dunkel gefärbt. Von den Antennen ist das erste Glied blass mit dunklen Punkten, das zweite ebenso gefärbt oder großenteils verdunkelt. Das dritte Glied ist vollständig dunkel. Das vierte Segment ist dunkel mit je einem hellen Ring am unteren (basalen) und oberen (apikalen) Ende, das fünfte besitzt einen basalen hellen Ring. Es ergibt sich ein weißes Ringelmuster auf dunklem Grund. Das Scutellum trägt eine Reihe aus fünf hellen Schwielen (Calli) am basalen (vorderen) Rand. Diese Punktreihe gilt als das beste Feldmerkmal zur Erkennung der Art, kann jedoch variabel ausgeprägt sein. Der seitlich über die Hemielytren vorstehende Abschnitt des Hinterleibs, das Connexivum, trägt wie bei vielen Baumwanzen eine auffallende schwarz-weiße Fleckenzeichnung. Das Corium der Hemielytren ist bei manchen Exemplaren rötlich überlaufen. Die Membran der Flügel ist glasklar (hyalin) mit einer undeutlichen Zeichnung aus Längsstreifen. Die Unterseite des Körpers ist blass gelblich, die Sternite des Hinterleibs sind in der Mitte hell und nur am Außenrand spärlich dunkel punktiert. Die Beinglieder (Femora, Tibien und Tarsen) sind ockerfarben, aber zum Ende hin breit verdunkelt.
Der Kopf der Art ist in Aufsicht langgestreckt rechteckig mit seitlich vorspringenden, großen Komplexaugen und zwei roten, knopfförmigen Ocelli. Die Vorderecken des Pronotums, hinter den Komplexaugen, sind etwas dornförmig verlängert. Das zweite freie Sternit des Hinterleibs (anatomisch: das dritte Segment) ist glatt und trägt weder einen Dorn noch einen Vorsprung.

In Mitteleuropa bestehen Verwechslungsmöglichkeiten mit der Grauen Gartenwanze (Rhaphigaster nebulosa), der Spitzbauchwanze (Troilus luridus) oder der Beerenwanze (Dolycoris baccarum).

Die Art ist als Neubürger der mitteleuropäischen Fauna in den meisten Feldführern und Bestimmungswerken noch nicht enthalten.

Verbreitung
Die Art ist natürlich verbreitet im Osten Asiens, Nachweise liegen hier vor aus Ostchina, Japan, Korea und der Insel Taiwan.

Mit Erstnachweis 2001 in Pennsylvania wurde die Art aus China nach Nordamerika eingeschleppt. Von dort aus hat sie sich massiv ausgebreitet und erreichte bereits 2004 Oregon und damit die Pazifikküste. Seit 2012 ist sie auch in Kanada (Ontario) heimisch.

Der erste europäische Nachweis erfolgte 2004 im Großraum Zürich in der Schweiz. Seither breitet sich die Art auch hier aus, wobei städtische (urbane) Habitate bevorzugt werden. 2007 konnte eine unabhängige Einschleppung mit Transportkisten nach Bremerhaven durch sofort eingeleitete Bekämpfungsmaßnahmen noch an der Etablierung gehindert werden; 2011 erfolgte der erste deutsche Nachweis in Konstanz. 2017 wurde die Art im Raum Stuttgart nachgewiesen; nach einem entsprechenden Zeitungsbericht Mitte September 2018 in Freiburg erfolgten viele Sichtmeldungen. Im Landkreis Lörrach gab es z. B. in Fischingen erste Schäden. In Bayern wurde die Art in Lindau (Bodensee), München/Freising, Erlangen und Würzburg nachgewiesen.

In Südtirol erfolgte der Erstnachweis 2016, nachdem sie in Italien erstmals 2012 im Raum Modena nachgewiesen werden konnte. Die italienische Region Friaul-Julisch Venetien stellte im März 2017 für ihre Obstbauern insgesamt 3,5 Mio. EUR als wirtschaftlichen Schadens-Ausgleich für die Zeit bis Ende 2020 bereit.

Stand 2022 ist die Art nach modernen Datensammlungen wie iNaturalist vor allem im Westen Deutschlands weit verbreitet. Hier wird sie meistens entlang des Rheins gefunden, von der Oberrheinebene über das Rhein-Main-Neckar-Gebiet bis zum Niederrhein und Ruhrgebiet. Doch auch in und um Stuttgart, München, Berlin und Leipzig finden viele Funde statt. Insgesamt kann die Art in den meisten Gebieten Deutschlands gefunden werden, fehlt aber entlang der Meeresküsten, in Schleswig-Holstein und Mecklenburg-Vorpommern sowie den meisten Mittelgebirgsgegenden. In den Gebieten, in denen sie vorkommt, ist sie meist sehr häufig. So ist sie heutzutage eine der 8 am häufigsten in Bürgerdaten nachgewiesenen Wanzenarten in ganz Deutschland.

Biologie und Lebensweise

Die Art überwintert als Imago und wird aktiv, wenn die Temperaturen etwa 10 °C überschreiten. Sie sind im Wesentlichen pflanzensaugend. Befallen werden zahlreiche Baum- und Straucharten, gelegentlich auch krautige Arten. Insgesamt sind mehr als 300 Wirtsarten bekannt (polyphage Art), mit einer gewissen Bevorzugung von Arten aus der Familie der Rosengewächse. Besaugt werden neben den Blättern auch die Früchte. Große Populationen waren in der Schweiz zum Beispiel an Trompetenbaum (Catalpa), Jungfernreben (Parthenocissus), Esche, Vogelbeere und Sommerflieder zu finden. Die Weibchen beginnen mit der Eiablage im Frühsommer. Die kleinen Eigelege werden auf der Blattunterseite der Wirtspflanzen abgelegt. Die nach wenigen Tagen schlüpfenden Nymphen durchlaufen bis zur Imago (Bezeichnung für das erwachsene geschlechtsreife Insekt nach der Verpuppung oder der letzten Häutung) fünf Stadien, Mindesttemperatur für ihre Entwicklung sind 14 °C. In China, ihrer natürlichen Heimat, entwickeln sich bis zu sechs Generationen in einem Jahr. Möglicherweise gibt es auch in der Schweiz zumindest eine zweite Generation im selben Jahr. Im Herbst wandern die adulten Wanzen von der Pflanze ab und suchen besondere Überwinterungsquartiere auf, gern sonnenexponierte Hausfassaden. Besonders gerne verkriechen sich die Wanzen im Mauerwerk, sind aber auch auf Dachböden oder in Blumenkisten auf dem Balkon zu finden.

Schadwirkung
Die Marmorierte Baumwanze wird vor allem durch das Besaugen von Früchten schädlich. Darunter beispielsweise Pfirsich, Apfel, Birnen, Haselnuss, Weinrebe, aber auch Mais, Sojabohne, Tomate, Paprika und Aubergine. Um das Pflanzengewebe durch den Saugrüssel aufnehmen zu können, enthält der Speichel von Wanzen proteolytische d. h. Eiweiß abbauende Enzyme zur Verflüssigung des Gewebes. Der Speichel verursacht damit die typischen Schadbilder wie Verformungen, Verfärbungen und Nekrosen (Zerfall des Gewebes). Des Weiteren können durch den Saugvorgang Pflanzenpathogene übertragen werden. Im Jahr 2020 wurde nachgewiesen, dass H. halys den Stigmatomykose-auslösenden Hefepilz Eremothecium coryli beim Einstechen in unreife Haselnüsse überträgt.

In Norditalien entstanden im Jahr 2019 durch H. halys Schäden in der Höhe von 356 Millionen Euro an Pfirsich-, Birnen- und Nektarinen-Kulturen. Weitere Schäden gab es an Apfel-, Kiwi-, Tomaten, Paprika-, Bohnen- und Mais-Kulturen. Bereits 2010 führte ein H. halys-Ausbruch in den USA zu Schäden in der Höhe von über 37 Millionen US-Dollar alleine in Apfel-Kulturen.

Die Marmorierte Baumwanze tritt zusätzlich als Lästling in Gebäuden auf. Im Jahr 2012 befanden sich in einem Zeitraum von 181 Tagen an einem einzigen Haus in Maryland (USA) mehr als 26 000 überwinternde H. halys-Individuen. Ähnliche Beobachtungen mit einer geringeren Anzahl an Individuen wurden auch in Deutschland regelmäßig an Pflanzenschutzdienste wie dem LTZ Augustenburg, gemeldet.

Bekämpfung
Obwohl die Wanze auch in den neuen Verbreitungsgebieten von zahlreichen biologischen Antagonisten wie z. B. parasitoiden Hymenopteren attackiert wird, reichen diese gewöhnlich nicht zur Kontrolle aus, da sie gegenüber der Marmorierten Baumwanze nicht ausreichend spezialisiert sind. Ein Import von aus Asien stammenden, spezialisierten Ei-Parasitoiden der Gattung Trissolcus (Familie Scelionidae) für die Anwendung einer Strategie zur biologischen Schädlingsbekämpfung in den USA wurde geprüft. 2014 stellte man jedoch fest, dass sich die Samurai-Wespe (Trissolcus japonicus), die in Asien Parasitierungsraten von 70 bis 90 % gegenüber der Marmorierten Baumwanze erzielt, bereits in den USA befindet. In Europa wurde die Samurai-Wespe erstmals 2017 in der Schweiz nachgewiesen. Inzwischen ist sie auch in Deutschland angekommen.

Die Bekämpfung der Marmorierten Baumwanze mit Pflanzenschutzmitteln gestaltet sich schwierig, da sie eine besonders hohe Toleranz dagegen aufweist. In den USA wurden mehrere Insektizide auf ihre Wirkung gegenüber der Marmorierten Baumwanze getestet mit dem Ergebnis, dass lediglich Breitbandinsektizide, die nicht selektiv, d. h. gegenüber einer Vielzahl von Insekten toxisch wirken, ausreichend wirksam sind. In Italien führte der massive Befall von H. halys sogar dazu, dass die gesetzlich festgelegten "Integrated-Pest-Management"-Richtlinien nachträglich gelockert wurden, so dass weitere Behandlungen mit Breitbandinsektiziden ermöglicht wurden.

This 100% USA Made professional kit includes Billet left and right cylinder head fittings, the passenger side fitting has two outlets so that it can be run with or without the factory heater core. This kit joins the cylinder head coolant flowpath eliminating hot spots and that dreaded "tick" caused by overheated and worn valve guides. Includes all hardware and seals for easy installation. Includes plug for those applications no longer using the heater core.
I have seen this kit before. You folks did a really nice job on it. Something the Terminator community will continue to need going forward.

Tinkering with Mother Nature
Trepidation over humans creating duplicate people began in February 1997 when Dr. Ian Wilmut and his team of scientists in Scotland astonished the world by announcing that they had successfully cloned an adult sheep. Animals had been cloned before using the cells of developing embryos soon after they begin to form in the egg, but this was the first time ever that a mammal had been cloned from the cells of an adult animal. This major scientific breakthrough was accomplished by researchers in Edinburgh at theRoslin Institute, a center for genetic research of farm animals and PPL Therapeutics, a biotechnology company. The goal of their joint effort is to improve conventional animal breeding and create new health products for the biopharmaceutical industry.
In a process called "nuclear transplantation," researchers took an udder cell of a six-year-old ewe and transplanted the nucleus (which contains the genetic material or DNA) into an unfertilized egg of a second sheep from which its nucleus had previously been removed. The cell and the egg were fused with electric pulses. The egg began to divide normally and developed into an embryo. It was then implanted into a third, surrogate sheep who gave birth to a lamb that is the genetically identical twin of the sheep from which the mammary cells were taken. The lamb named Dolly seems normal and healthy.
Should We Play God?
Because the same procedure used to make a carbon copy of the sheep is also theoretically applicable to cloning human beings, many ethical and philosophical questions have been raised. The thought of replicating humans is frightening and most scientists, including Dr. Wilmut and his coworkers, believe that it would be unethical to try to clone humans. Cloning people is banned in Britain, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, The Netherlands, and Spain. Federal funding for human cloning research is prohibited in the United States and President Clinton requested the private sector to voluntarily ban the research. Exploitation of this technology, however, cannot be prevented. Even though laws are passed forbidding research on replicating people, it would still be possible to continue these experiments secretly in private laboratories or in countries with no laws against such research.
Clones Aren't Exact Copies
There is some misunderstanding about what constitutes a clone. A human clone would be the genetic identical twin, a generation or more younger, of the donor (not the surrogate mother) who provided the nucleus. But because people are more than a product of their genes, a clone would have its own personality, character, intelligence, and talents exactly as identical twins do (who are natural clones stemming from the same egg). You cannot clone a person's brain or mind, and chance factors, the environment, and a person's experiences contribute to individual traits.
This means that even if you wanted to, you cannot duplicate your identical self. Even if you were to clone yourself several times, you would not be able to create the same person each time because every human life, no matter how conceived, is unique. A cloned Hitler would not necessarily grow up to be a mass murderer nor would a twin of Mother Teresa become a humanitarian.
It is also impossible to copy a deceased family member or a past historical figure through cloning the cells from their corpses. The same applies to dead persons that have been frozen, because you need live DNA to make a clone.
Although some scientists believe that human cloning is only 10 or 20 years around the corner, the process would be far more difficult than cloning a sheep. Researchers began by attempting to fuse 277 adult sheep cells with an equal number of eggs. This yielded only 29 embryos, which in turn resulted in only 10 pregnant sheep, only one of which successfully made it to term and gave birth to Dolly. Given these odds, it would take dozens of surrogate mothers just to give birth to one human clone.
The biggest question over cloning animals is how the clone will age. Dolly was cloned from a six-year-old ewe and therefore the nucleus of all her cells were already six years old when she was born. No one knows how this will affect her longevity or other factors in her life.
The Cloning Quandary
The debate surrounding what constitutes a "life" is sure to intensify as the issue of cloning enters the discussion. As a technology in its infancy, there will no doubt be unintended consequences, and we would need safeguards to prevent accidents from happening. Should cloning be made a personal decision? Should women have the same reproductive rights with their cells and genes that they have in choosing whether to give birth? Lesbian couples could exchange genes and nuclei with their partners and create their own children. Is it wrong for an infertile couple to clone one partner if it is their only chance to have a baby? Do grieving parents have the right to clone a child that is dying? Would it be unethical to replicate someone to serve as a compatible organ donor? Could we have gene banks of elite donors similar to sperm banks? These are just a few of the troubling questions that remain to be answered.
Society has always been alarmed by the appearance of new reproductive technologies. In the early 1970s, scientists discovered how to clone a gene from one organism and transplant it into the DNA of a different species where it would replicate along with the host DNA. The technique, called recombinant DNA, or "gene splicing," created a furor at the time, and people feared that scientists would create dangerous microorganisms that might escape from the laboratories and destroy us.
Today, pregnancy by in vitro fertilization is widely accepted. But back in 1978 when "test tube baby" Louise Brown was born--the first human conceived outside the body of a woman--it caused a storm of ethical debate. A similar outcry was heard when children were conceived by artificial insemination.
Certainly no one wants this new science to be misused. But like other scientific advances that we at first viewed with fear and suspicion, over time and applied ethically, cloning may serve humanity in a useful and benevolent way. --OTJ

A chance to witness the start of one of the most acclaimed cop shows of all time in July, we hit the streets of Florida with CSI: Miami.
Golden Globe winner David Caruso plays a high-tech homicide cop in this action-fueled look at crime and punishment in Florida's tropical paradise. When the heat is on and the bullets fly, Lieutenant Horatio Crane keeps his cool behind his trademark shades.
Joined by ballistics expert Calleigh Duquesne (The West Wing's Emily Procter) and his crime lab team, Caine uses gut instinct and forensic tools to crack shocking cases. Delivering colourful locations and guest stars like Raquel Welch, Mad Men's Jon Hamm and Sean "P. Diddy" Combs, CSI: Miami garnered a People's Choice Award and has spawned a series of video games, comic books and novels during its 10-season network run.
Magnum-force excitement scorches the streets of Miami in this stylish hit with a proven rap sheet of spiking pulse rates and ratings.
CSI: Miami weeknights at 12.05am.


One fateful morning on the island of Manhattan, New Yorkers woke up to their borough being wallpapered with Guerrilla art. The Guerilla Girls were formed in response to the MOMA's exhibit entitled "an international survey of recent painting and sculpture", which included 165 artists – only 13 of which were women. The exhibit was meant to survey the most important painters and sculptors from 17 countries.
The Guerilla Girls vandalized downtown Manhattan by plastering black and white posters that read, "These Galleries Show No More Than 10% Women Artists or None at All" and listed all the offenders. Other posters showed a list of famous (male) artists that were in these galleries with the title "These artists allow their work to be shown in galleries with less than 10% female artists". They updated their statistics in 2015, and found that women were still being completely underrepresented in the art world – as artists.
The name and costume comes from the homonyms Gorilla and Guerilla. The group was Guerilla before they went Gorilla, and can no longer remember when or why they donned their fur for the first time. They keep it because of its relation to masculinity and to maintain anonymity.
The Guerilla Girls are known for doing "Weinie Counts", which consist of collecting data of art displayed in museums. This gave them their most eye-catching statistics. For example, only 5 per cent of artists are women, yet 85 per cent of nudes are female.
The Guerrilla Girls currently run activist art workshops for students to learn how to make powerful activist art, much like their own. They originally started with the protest of the MOMA's exhibit and other modern art museums, but have since broadened their scope to include a general focus on women's rights, including abortion and racism – issues that women (and men) experience in the art world and beyond.
Most recently with the coming of the Trump administration, the attempts to end planned parenthood and his proposal to shut down the National Endowment of the Arts, the Guerilla Girls have geared up to take on the injustice women, and especially women in the arts, will experience under his presidency. Their most recent protest was at the MOMA. They were protesting the involvement of the MOMA trustee Larry Fink, who is also the economic advisor to the Trump administration. They were also involved in the women's marches that took place all over America in January.
The Guerrilla Girls also criticized the Oscars in 2002. They depicted what the trophy should look like; A white man. Their poster also included some facts about the awards ceremony: Best Director has never been awarded to a woman, 94 per cent of the writing awards have gone to men, and only 3 per cent of the acting awards have gone to people of color.
They have recently been going after the privatization of the art world in recent years. Called the "Dear Art Collector" campaign, it addresses the problem of billionaires controlling the galleries, and therefore controlling what artists get the money and the exhibitions.

I haven't met or talked to you since, I don't know, years ago.
I know you now live in a city that never sleeps, a city that I know you've been dreaming of. When we used to know each other, I heard you said that you really wanted to live there, had a good job, and a family. I used to believe in prayers that day, so, yeah, I prayed for your dreams to come true one day. Even I did the midnight pray. And I'm happy now knowing you made it. Even having a family too there, a wife and a son. Really, I'm happy for you.
You didn't get along with your old man when we met. Sometimes, I found you were upset with him. When you talked about it and said bad words about him, I just listened and said that however that man was your blood too. Then, I knew your father died a couple years ago from some pictures I found on the the internet. You took some pictures when you came to his grave every year. From those pictures, I knew you finally could get along. It's a relief knowing you both could get along, but it's sad that he's gone now.
I knew you really love your mom and your brother. And you still do until now. It's nice.
Once, I went to your city for a vacation. I really hoped that we met in a random way in malls, streets, or places that I visited. Actually, I could send you a message to ask you to meet me. But, I thought it wouldn't be a nice way since you had your own family now, and I had my man. It doesn't mean that I still love you. No. But, I still care. I do. Maybe, it's because you're still my "unfinished business." I just wanted to say that I'm happy knowing you reaching your life goals and I wanted to meet your wife and kid. They're so lucky having a man that dare to reach his dreams.
Do you know why I call you "my unfinished business?" Okay, I'll tell you. I really fell in love with you, years ago. Okay, years ago. I didn't know if you felt the same way about me. Maybe you did, at the first time. I thought I made a great "team" with you. Then you went to your dream city for some project when you were still a student for 2 months. When you came back to town, you wanted to leave me. I was a little shocked when you told me that. I was wondering what was wrong. Maybe it was me. It was my really first time to have someone close to me. It was my first time to trust this heart to fall deeply in love. You were someone that I looked for, you were an artist, you were nerd but the cool one too, you used to wear the "Clark Kent's glasses." Oh, I love Superman. What you said was cliche that I was too good for you. No, I wasn't good enough for you, was I? I wasn't cute enough maybe? Or did I care too much about you, so you felt there was no air around you? Or I was too old-fashioned kind of girl? I'm still wondering until now. After a week (maybe) we broke up, suddenly you just showed up at my college with your friends. A friend of mine told me that you were there. Some part of me wanted to see you because I wanted to make it clear the reason why you left. But, I never took the chance to meet you. I was ashamed to meet you because I thought I wasn't the good one for you to show to your friends (or mine) that I was your ex. I was too ashamed to see you, to look at you in the eye. I was too ashamed. This is why I called you "my unfinished business." I never really asked why when I had the chance. I never showed you that I still care. I never show you that I missed you.
Then I heard some news that you met your ex before you left me. Maybe you fell in love again with her. You made some calls to your ex when we were still together. Then you came back to town and dumped me. Maybe it was my fault, I couldn't be the best one for you to hold on to.
I forgive you now and I forgive myself. Do you forgive me for not being the best?
If you read my letter, let me know.
Actually I watched the first season too, but I didn't make a review. I was kind of forgot about my hobby.
As we all know that this series is based on Marvel's comic books about a former marine, Frank Castle (John Bernthal), who turned into a vigilante named The Punisher. On this second season, he had to "babysit" a girl named Amy (Giorgia Whigham) because someone named "John Pilgrim" (Josh Stewart) attempted to kill her. Castle felt that there was something she didn't tell him why someone wanted to kill her. On this season, we will know how Billy Russo a.k.a Jigsaw (Ben Barnes) dealt with his pain after The Punisher brutally beaten him up in first season.
This season we'll still watch blood (a lot of blood), gunshots, and so many fight scenes. It still got a great choreography. We'll watch how Castle "danced" in every fighting scenes using whatever stuffs around him every where, in jail, in the office, in the gym, room, or streets. This part is really nice, I think. I love the fighting scenes in The Punisher series.
If you are studying psychology, this series serves some therapy techniques how to deal with PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder), anxiety, and phobia. It's not much because this show is not about psychology genre, but it's enough to show us how to do it.
Even if this show still got some good fighting scenes, but I guess The Punisher was a lot "softer" than the first season. We'll see how Castle was so weak when it's about women and kids. I don't really like it.
As the news spread, Netflix canceled the third season of The Punisher. I was sad about this. It's a good show about antihero we all deserve.
So, my score for this show is 3/5 because I don't really like when Castle was too "soft" as The Punisher.
Number One (Super Strong). He has big body, and yes just like what people called him "Super Strong," he is really strong.
Number Two (Super Bitter). He throws knives right on the target, never missed.
Number Three (Super Famous). She is a movie star and she can make anyone to do what she asked.
Number Four (Super High). Oh, yes, SUPER HIGH. He likes drugs. And he can talk to dead people. Lol.
Number Five (Super Old). He can do time travel. That's why he's old.
Number Six (Super Dead). Why is he called Super Dead? Yes, because he is dead. That's why he's not in the picture.
Number Seven (Super Ordinary). Did I mention each of them have their own super powers? I think I made mistake.
I think this series can make some new air among genre kind of superheroes. The series is funny enough and a little touchy because it's about family matter. Family is not just about blood, right? It's about who stand up with us no matter what, even when the apocalypse happens. This show is full of surprises from each character development and the plot twist. It makes me "one more episode and I'll sleep" every time I end watching an episode. The soundtracks are great. Maybe it's because Gerard Way is the creator of the comic book.
I give this show score 5/5. Great plot and great music.

Hitting 86 Percent Renewable Energy by 2050 Requires These Key Changes
It's doable, but will require major changes.

The world is in danger of missing a target to keep temperature rises below two degrees Celsius, a new report claims, but with the correct steps it could avoid climate catastrophe.
The International Renewable Energy Agency released its latest version of Global Energy Transformation: A Roadmap to 2050 this week, outlining how the world can move from taking 20 percent of its power generation from renewable energy as it does today, to reach 86 percent by 2050. It's part of a more aggressive approach to emissions that transforms energy and society.
"The energy transformation is gaining momentum, but it must accelerate even faster," IRENA Director-General Francesco La Camera said in a statement. "The UN's 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda and the review of national climate pledges under the Paris Agreement are milestones for raising the level of ambition. Urgent action on the ground at all levels is vital, in particular unlocking the investments needed to further strengthen the momentum of this energy transformation. Speed and forward-looking leadership will be critical — the world in 2050 depends on the energy decisions we take today."
The report calls for $15 trillion in additional investments by 2050, a 40 percent decrease compared to the amount listed in a 2017 report. Total energy investment would need to reach $110 trillion, or two percent of gross domestic product, by that year. The payoff could be immense (beyond the obvious payoff of avoiding climate disaster) as every dollar spent in energy transition could return between three and seven dollars.
Fixing some of these markers will require structural shifts, like by moving from single passenger cars to shared mobility. Others will require more innovation in renewable energy sources to encourage further growth. Infrastructure investment, the report stresses, will need to focus on sustainability in the long term to reach its targets.

Climate Change Report: Where the World is Failing
The document lists 21 areas the world will need to consider to meet its goals. There is one area where the world is on track:
Onshore wind costs. These have moved from $80 per megawatt-hour in 2010 to $56 per megawatt-hour today. These need to reach $50 by 2030 and $40 by 2050. This calls for competitive bidding and market regulation reform.
One area shows signs of promise, but it's too early to tell:
Hydrogen production with renewable electricity. It needs to reach three exajoules by 2030 and 19 exajoules by 2050. The report states that the world needs to "find the niches where this makes sense today and support commercial-scale pilot projects."
There are a further six areas where progress is being made to get on track:
The share of renewable energy in power generation. This has moved from 20 percent in 2010 to 25 percent today. It needs to reach 57 percent by 2030 and 86 percent by 2050. The report states that to reach these targets the world will need to "emphasize solar and wind deployment, but also maximize solid biomass and biogas in the niche applications where they make sense."
Annual photovoltaic solar additions, which was at 17 gigawatts per year in 2010 and 109 gigawatts per year today. It needs to reach 300 gigawatts by 2030 and 360 gigawatts by 2050.
Passenger electric cars on the road. This was at less than half a million in 2010 and six million today. It needs to reach 157 million by 2030 and 1.2 billion by 2050. The report calls for "measures to support getting electric cars purchasing price down and invest heavily in charging infrastructure."
Solar thermal collectors. This was at 290 million square meters in 2010 and has reached 675 million square meters as of today. It needs to reach two billion square meters by 2030, and 5.8 billion square meters by 2050, but this will mean greater public awareness.
Photovoltaic solar costs. This was at $347 per megawatt-hour in 2010, and has plummeted to $81 as of today. It needs to hit $58 by 2030 and $38 by 2050.
Smart meters in the residential sector, which today are in 25 percent of homes. These need to reach 50 percent of homes by 2030 and 82 percent by 2050.
Unfortunately, there are 14 key areas where humanity is off track:
Share of electricity in total final energy consumption. This was at 18 percent in 2010 and 20 percent today, but needs to hit 29 percent by 2030 and 49 percent by 2050.
Annual wind additions, which were at 31 gigawatts per year in 2010 and 54 gigawatts per year today. It needs to reach 200 gigawatts by 2030 and 240 gigawatts by 2050.
Heat pumps are at 20 million today, but they need to hit 155 million in 2030 and 334 million in 2050.
The total renewable energy share increase in the total final energy consumption. This is changing by 0.2 percentage points per year, but it really needs to be moving 0.8 points by 2030 and 1.7 points by 2050.
Transport liquid biofuels. They've moved from 100 billion liters per year in 2010 to 130 billion in the present day, but we need to reach 370 billion by 2030 and 650 billion by 2050.
Energy intensity improvement rates. This moved 1.2 percent per year from 2000 to 2010 and 2.3 percent from 2010 to 2017, but it needs to move around 3.3 percent from 2016 to 2050.
Total final energy consumption per capita was 51 gigajoules in 2010 and 53 gigajoules today, but it needs to reverse and reach 38 gigajoules by 2050.
Oil demand is increasing from 87 million barrels per day in 2010 to 95 million barrels today, but needs to reach 60 million by 2030 and 22 million by 2050.
Natural gas demand is also rising, from 3,307 billion cubic meters per year in 2010 to 3,752 billion in the present day. This can increase to 4,000 billion by 2030, but needs to hit 2,250 billion by 2050.
Coal demand is another riser, from 4,963 megatonnes of coal equivalent per year in 2010 to 5,357 megatonnes today. This needs to reach 3,190 megatonnes by 2030 and 713 megatonnes by 2050.
Total fossil fuel reduction relative to today needs to reduce 20 percent by 2030 and 64 percent by 2050.
Total carbon dioxide needs to reduce 27 percent by 2030 and 71 percent by 2050 relative to today.
Emissions per capita went from 4.3 tons in 2010 to 4.6 tons in the present day, but needs to reach 2.9 tons by 2030 and 1.1 tons by 2050.
Fixing these markers may prove tricky, but the end result could be a planet that sticks to its expected goals as outlined in the Paris Agreement.

Basketball is a team sport in which two teams of 5 players try to score points against one another by placing a ball through a 10 foot (3.048 m) high hoop (the goal) under organized rules. A regulation NBA basketball court is 94' long (28.6512 m) by 50' wide (15.24 m). Basketball is one of the most popular and widely viewed sports in the world. Points are scored by throwing (shooting) the ball through the basket from above. The team with more points at the end of the game wins, but additional time (overtime) may be issued when the scores of both teams are the same. The ball can be advanced on the court by bouncing it (dribbling) or passing it between teammates. Disruptive physical contact (foul) is penalized, and free throws will be issued if an offensive player is fouled while shooting the ball. (violations). Through time, basketball has developed to involve many common techniques of shooting, passing and dribbling, as well as players' positions, and offensive and defensive structures. Typically, the tallest members of a team will play center or one of two forward positions, while shorter players or those who possess the best ball handling skills and speed, play the guard positions. While competitive basketball is carefully regulated, numerous variations of basketball have developed for casual play. In some countries, basketball is also a popular spectator sport. While competitive basketball is primarily an indoor sport, played on a basketball court, less regulated variations played in the outdoors have become increasingly popular among both inner city and rural groups.
The first rules, court, and game In early December 1891, Dr. James Naismith, a Canadian-born physical education professor and instructor at the International Young Men's Christian Association Training School (YMCA) (today, Springfield College) in Springfield, Massachusetts, USA, was trying to keep his gym class active on a rainy day sought a vigorous indoor game to keep his students occupied and at proper levels of fitness during the long New England winters. After rejecting other ideas as either too rough or poorly suited to walled-in gymnasiums, he wrote the basic rules and nailed a peach basket onto a 10-foot (3.05 m) elevated track. In contrast with modern basketball nets, this peach basket retained its bottom, and balls had to be retrieved manually after each "basket" or point scored; this proved inefficient, however, so the bottom of the basket was removed, allowing the balls to be poked out with a long dowel each time. The peach baskets were used until 1906 when they were finally replaced by metal hoops with backboards. A further change was soon made, so the ball merely passed through, paving the way for the game we know today. A soccer ball was used to shoot baskets. Whenever a person got the ball in the basket, his team would gain a point. Whichever team got the most points won the game. The baskets were originally nailed to the mezzanine balcony of the playing court, but this proved impractical when spectators on the balcony began to interfere with shots. The backboard was introduced to prevent this interference; it had the additional effect of allowing rebound shots. Naismith's handwritten diaries, discovered by his granddaughter in early 2006, indicate that he was nervous about the new game he had invented, which incorporated rules from a children's game called "Duck on a Rock", as many had failed before it. Naismith called the new game "Basket Ball". The first official game was played in the YMCA gymnasium on January 20, 1892 with nine players. The game ended at 1�0; the shot was made from 25 feet (7.6 m), on a court just half the size of a present-day Streetball or National Basketball Association (NBA) court. By 1897�1898 teams of five became standard.
The Boston Celtics didn't just sneak out of Amway Arena with a Game 1 victory under their belts. No, they completely outplayed the Orlando Magic in their own arena and did not trail for a single second of the 48 minutes of basketball played. It all started with a big first quarter, where the C's limited Orlando to only 14 points, and then the lead grew nine heading into halftime after allowing only 18 points in the second period. The third quarter, however, is where this game began to get out of hand. The Magic came out of the gates firing, and on the back of eight quick points from Jameer Nelson they cut Boston's lead to three just 2:03 into the second half. Doc Rivers called a timeout to regroup his troops, and that move wound up changing the scope of this game as the rest of the quarter unraveled. Out of Rivers' timeout, Paul Pierce found Kevin Garnett open for a nice seven-footer that stopped the bleeding and put the C's back up by two possessions. Matt Barnes responded with a quick two points for Orlando, but that would be the last field goal the Magic would see for quite a while. The Celtics turned up the defensive intensity and prevented Orlando from scoring another basket for another 4:54 of the period. At the other end, numerous Celtics chipped in to help rebuild the double-digit lead they previously held onto in the first half. Kendrick Perkins scored an easy layup off of a Kevin Garnett pass to put the Celtics up by eight, and just 38 seconds later one of the biggest plays of the game took place. As Pierce streaked down court with the ball after Rashard Lewis turned it over at Orlando's offensive end, Nelson stepped in his path and committed a foul. At first, it looked like a harmless foul, but Pierce showed his veteran savvy and threw up a shot as Nelson made contact with him. After a brief discussion, the referees ruled that it was a shooting foul and Pierce wound up with three free throw attempts, all of which he sank. Those free throws put the C's up by 11, and after Rajon Rondo scored a bucket and Ray Allen drilled a 3-pointer, the lead had quickly ballooned to 16. Pierce added in another jumper after an Orlando timeout to cap off a 12-0 run by the Celtics that wound up being enough to outlast the Magic. Orlando made it interesting down the stretch, cutting the lead to two at one point, but Pierce and Allen each hit two free throws in the final 12 seconds of the game to ice a Game 1 victory for Boston.

Rangers: Daniel Johnson shines for Preston
By jonathan radcliffe
Glasgow Rangers transfer target Daniel Johnson was in stunning form on Tuesday night, racking up two assists in his side's win.
Johnson shines
Preston prevailed 3-2 over Bournemouth at Dean Court, and 28-year-old Johnson was at the heart of the action for his side.
Who scored more goals for the Gers?
Ralph Brand
Derek Johnstone
He had a 93% passing accuracy, provided two assists, won 75% of his duels and won a couple of tackles, racking up a SofaScore rating of 8.2 – that was higher than any other player on the pitch.
Rangers still interested?
The Gers were heavily linked with the £3.6m-valued Jamaican (Transfermarkt) during the summer, but he ended up staying at Deepdale. The Ibrox outfit's offer was at least £500k short of what Preston were looking for, according to Lancashire Evening Post.
However, with his contract running out at the end of the campaign, Steven Gerrard and co may not even need to deal with Preston in January. Called "phenomenal" by Daryl Hogan, Johnson managed 12 goals and eight assists in the Championship last term. Brian Laudrup has called out for another supply of creativity and vision to join Joe Aribo with the Gers, and Johnson could well be that man.
Would you like to sign Daniel Johnson?
Performances such as the one on the south coast will have Gerrard watching, no doubt. It remains to be seen whether Ross Wilson returns in January to try and convince Johnson that Scotland is the right place for him.
In other news, Rangers fans hammer this man's comments.

Care-Arbeit oder Sorgearbeit oder Pflegearbeit bezeichnet Tätigkeiten der Fürsorge, des Pflegens und Sich-Kümmerns.

Der Ausdruck  entstand in den 1990er Jahren im englischen Sprachraum und schloss an feministische Theorien um Reproduktionsarbeit und Haus- und Familienarbeit im Zuge der zweiten Frauenbewegung an. Dort wurde unbezahlte Hausarbeit als gesellschaftlich notwendige und zumeist von Frauen geleistete Arbeit sichtbar gemacht und ihre Bedeutung für die Wiederherstellung der Arbeitskraft herausgearbeitet. Mit dem Care-Begriff wurden unter anderem der Arbeitsinhalt und die Beziehungsaspekte von Pflege stärker reflektiert. Care-Arbeit umfasst bezahlte und unbezahlte Arbeit. Sie orientiert sich an den Bedürfnissen anderer Personen ().

Unter Care-Arbeit fällt beispielsweise Kinderbetreuung, -erziehung oder Altenpflege, es werden aber auch familiäre Unterstützung, Häusliche Pflege und freundschaftliche Hilfen darunter verstanden. Überwiegend wird diese Arbeit von Frauen geleistet. Bis in die Gegenwart werden die verschiedenen Stränge nicht als ein gesellschaftspolitisch zentrales, zusammenhängendes Politikfeld gesehen, oder entsprechend bearbeitet.

Begriffsbedeutung
Die akademischen und politischen Diskussionen um Care thematisieren die grundlegende gesellschaftliche Bedeutung von Pflegearbeit, die spezifische inhaltliche Ebene dieser Tätigkeiten und Abhängigkeiten von Menschen als Bedingung ihrer Existenz.

Im Englischen kann das Wort care in unterschiedlichen Kontexten genutzt werden; es wird gebraucht im Sinne von caring about, also des emotionalen sich Sorgens um, aber bedeutet mit taking care of auch aktives Tun oder macht mit take care of yourself auf Aspekte der Selbstsorge aufmerksam. Care ist als Haltung der Verantwortlichkeit und fürsorgliche Praxis zu verstehen.

Care-Arbeit kann bezahlt oder unbezahlt und ebenso im privaten, häuslichen Bereich wie in öffentlichen Institutionen oder als marktförmige Dienstleistung erbracht werden. Sie findet in Interaktionen und zwischenmenschlichen Beziehungen statt. Nach Margrit Brückner umfasst sie "den gesamten Bereich weiblich konnotierter, personenbezogener Fürsorge und Pflege, d.h. familialer und institutionalisierter Aufgaben der Versorgung, Erziehung und Betreuung und stellt sowohl eine auf asymmetrische Beziehungen beruhende Praxisform als auch eine ethische Haltung dar". Allerdings werden in verschiedenen Studien unterschiedliche Abgrenzungen und Akzentuierungen von Care-Arbeit vorgenommen. Umstritten ist beispielsweise, ob Care-Arbeit stets in Situationen starker einseitiger Abhängigkeit stattfindet, ob ihr eine spezifische Haltung der Care-Leistenden innewohnen muss oder ob auch Selbstsorge Bestandteil von Care-Arbeit sein kann. Unterschieden wird teilweise auch zwischen direkter und indirekter Care-Arbeit, also Tätigkeiten die nicht unmittelbar mit, sondern für eine andere Person geleistet werden – wie Kochen, Putzen, Einkaufen. Unbestritten ist jedoch, dass menschliche Gesellschaften ohne Care-Arbeit nicht vorstellbar sind. Denn alle Menschen sind in hohem Maße, beispielsweise in der Kindheit oder bei Krankheit, aber auch im Alltag auf Unterstützung anderer angewiesen.

Care-Ökonomie

Auch ökonomisch spielt Care-Arbeit eine wichtige Rolle. In Deutschland sind beispielsweise 19 % der Beschäftigten im Jahr 2010 in klassischen Care-Sektoren tätig gewesen: 6,2 % in den Bereichen Erziehung und Bildung, 10,6 % im Gesundheits- und Sozialwesen und 2,2 % in häuslichen Dienstleistungen. Wird aber nicht nur die bezahlte, sondern auch die unbezahlte Care-Arbeit untersucht, steigt ihre ökonomische Relevanz noch einmal deutlich. Für die Schweiz hat die Ökonomin Mascha Madörin ein Stundenvolumen der unbezahlten Hausarbeit, Kinderbetreuung und Pflege von 7697 Stunden gegenüber einem Gesamtvolumen der bezahlten Arbeitszeit von 6974 Stunden errechnet. Und in einer umfangreichen Zeiterhebungsstudie des Statistischen Bundesamtes wurde erhoben, dass die unbezahlte Arbeitszeit in der BRD jene der bezahlten Arbeit um das 1,7-Fache übersteigt.

In der Care-Ökonomie wird Care-Arbeit vor allem als personenbezogene Dienstleistung in den Blick genommen, als "eine Dienstleistung, die ohne Gegenwart der EmpfängerIn der Dienstleistung nicht möglich ist". Diese direkten Care-Dienstleistungen werden in Subjekt-Subjekt-Beziehungen geleistet. Daher ist die verwendete Zeit selbst integraler Bestandteil der Leistung. Für qualitativ gute Care-Arbeit ist außerdem die Berücksichtigung der Bedürfnisse und Wünsche der jeweiligen Care-Empfänger notwendig, was Gespräche und Zeit notwendig macht. Personenbezogene Dienstleistungen können daher auch im Lohnarbeitssektor nur in geringem Umfang rationalisiert werden. Sie bedürfen eines hohen Arbeits- und Personalaufkommens, das nicht beliebig gekürzt werden kann. In Relation zu anderen Wirtschaftssektoren spricht der Wirtschaftstheoretiker William Baumol daher bereits im Jahr 1967 von einer Kostenkrankheit dieser Branchen.

Nancy Fraser und andere erklären dies mit der Trennung produktiver (Erwerbsarbeit) und reproduktiver Arbeit (Care) im Kapitalismus und argumentieren vor diesem Hintergrund für alternative Formen des Wirtschaftens. Angelehnt an den Reproduktionsbegriff beziehen Melanie Jaeger-Erben und Sabine Hielscher auch Reparaturen in den Care-Begriff ein.

Phänomene der Intersektionalität

Care-Arbeit und Geschlechterverhältnisse
Care-Arbeit ist gesellschaftlich nicht gleichmäßig verteilt, vielmehr wird sie zum überwiegenden Teil von Frauen geleistet. Dies gilt sowohl für den Bereich der unbezahlten Care-Arbeit als auch für den bezahlten Bereich.

In den Gesundheitsberufen arbeiten beispielsweise über 80 % Frauen. Die Entlohnung in diesem Sektor ist, von einigen Ausnahmen wie den Arztberufen abgesehen, niedrig und die körpernahen Sorgearbeiten gehen mit geringer gesellschaftlicher Anerkennung einher. Gleiches gilt für den Bereich der unbezahlten Care-Arbeit. Auch hier übernehmen Frauen einen deutlich höheren Anteil an Sorgearbeit in der Familie, obwohl immer weniger Frauen sich an einer reinen Hausfrauenrolle orientieren können oder wollen. Der Gender Care Gap zeigt mittels Sekundäranalyse der Zeitverwendungserhebung 2012/2013 des Statistischen Bundesamtes, "dass Frauen täglich 87 Minuten mehr Care-Arbeit verrichten als Männer, was einem Gender Care Gap von 52,4% entspricht". Auch die unbezahlte, familiale Pflege wird zu etwa 2/3 von Frauen geleistet und bleibt als "typische Frauenarbeit" im Privaten weitgehend unsichtbar. Frauen übernehmen die Pflege auch dann weitaus häufiger als Männer, wenn sie genauso viel arbeiten und einen vergleichbaren beruflichen Status haben, was sich durch gesellschaftliche Erwartungen und innerfamiliäre Arbeitsteilung erklären lässt. In der Care-Arbeit ist also deutlich eine geschlechterhierarchische Arbeitsteilung erkennbar.
Vor diesem Hintergrund wurde 2016 der Equal Care Day als Schalttag ins Leben gerufen, um darauf aufmerksam zu machen, dass der Löwenanteil der Fürsorgetätigkeiten nach wie vor von Frauen erbracht wird.

Eine systematische Übersichtsarbeit von Jenny Young et al. von der Edinburgh Napier University über Geschlechtsunterschiede bei der innerfamiliären Pflege von Krebspatienten fand heraus, dass in Forschung über Care-Arbeit hauptsächlich Frauen berücksichtigt werden, sodass Männer auch als "die vergessenen Pfleger" bezeichnet werden und einen größeren Anteil an der Care-Arbeit hätten, als oftmals erkannt werde. Es wurde argumentiert, dass es ein weiteres und damit zusammenhängendes Problemfeld gegenüber Männern gäbe, wonach ihnen weniger Empathie entgegengebracht werde, weshalb Männer bei emotional komplexen Forschungsfragen zu diesem Thema nicht priorisiert würden. Eine andere Erklärung wird darin gesehen, wie Männer ihre Männlichkeit in Relation zur Care-Arbeit definierten und daher weniger bereitwillig seien, an Forschung über Care-Arbeit mitzuwirken.

Care-Arbeit und Migration
Die Verknüpfung von Care-Arbeit und Arbeitsmigration wird mit dem Schlagwort der "globalen Betreuungsketten" diskutiert. Konstatiert wird in dieser Diskussion, dass Care-Arbeit zunehmend an Migrantinnen ausgelagert wird. Während diese Frauen sorgende Tätigkeiten für Kinder oder alte Menschen in den Industriestaaten leisten, bleiben ihre eigenen Kinder und Angehörigen in den Herkunftsländern zurück. Dort werden sie zumeist von anderen weiblichen Familienangehörigen versorgt, teilweise jedoch auch wiederum von Migrantinnen oder Frauen aus ärmeren Schichten. Die amerikanische Soziologin Rhacel Parreñas spricht daher von einer "internationalen Teilung der Reproduktionsarbeit".

Für Deutschland wird in der feministischen Care-Debatte insbesondere auf die Auslagerung von familialer Pflege- und Betreuungsarbeit an osteuropäische Frauen hingewiesen, die unter schlechten Arbeitsbedingungen und in prekären Situationen Sorgearbeit leisten.

Care-Arbeit und Soziale Ungleichheit
Mit der Konzeption von vier unterschiedlichen Reproduktionsmodellen hat Gabriele Winker darauf hingewiesen, dass sich die Möglichkeiten, wie Care-Arbeit in Familien organisiert werden kann, je nach ökonomischer Situation deutlich unterscheiden. Sie skizziert erstens ein ökonomisiertes Modell, in welchem die Familienmitglieder unbefristet und vollbeschäftigt berufstätig sind und ihre Care-Arbeit an eine bezahlte Haushaltshilfe auslagern können. Zweitens beschreibt sie ein paarzentriertes Modell, in dem zumeist der Mann Vollzeit arbeitet, während die Frau für Reproduktionsarbeiten zuständig bleibt und in Teilzeit arbeitet. Care-Arbeit kann hier nur zu geringeren Anteilen ausgelagert werden. In einem dritten, dem prekären Reproduktionsmodell, entfällt eine derartige Möglichkeit komplett. Die eigene Reproduktion sowie die Sorge für Angehörige und Kinder findet unter erheblichen Belastungen statt; die Arbeitsverhältnisse sind oftmals durch Unsicherheiten, geringe Löhne und hohe Flexibilitätsanforderungen gekennzeichnet. Schließlich macht Winker als viertes Modell die subsistenzorientierte Reproduktion aus. Diese Personen bewegen sich an der Armutsgrenze, sie können aus unterschiedlichen Gründen ihre Arbeitskraft nicht verkaufen und sind auf die Nutzung von Grundsicherung angewiesen.

Die Übernahme von unbezahlter Care-Arbeit wirkt jedoch auch selbst als Armutsrisiko, u. a. da sie oftmals mit der Einschränkung der eigenen Berufstätigkeit einhergeht. Dies hat nicht nur akut, sondern auch über den Lebensverlauf hinweg Effekte und erhöht die Gefahr sowohl von eigener Erwerbsarmut als auch von Altersarmut. Die Schweizer Ökonomin Mascha Madörin schlug vor, die ungleiche Verteilung unbezahlter Care- und Haushaltsarbeit ergänzend zur Gender-Pay-Gap durch die Berechnung des geschlechtsspezifischen Gesamteinkommensunterschied (Gender Overall Earnings Gap) abzubilden. Im Falle der Schweiz habe dieser 44,5 Prozent betragen, was 110 Milliarden Schweizer Franken (112 Milliarden Euro) entspricht.

Weitere Zusammenhänge: Queerness, Gender und People of Color
Elsa Dorlin beschreibt die Mental Load, die im Alltag vieler von Diskriminierung Betroffener durch Selbstschutz, Community- und Self-Care aufbaut, als Dirty Care ("schmutzige Pflege") oder Negative Care ("negative Pflege"). Beispielhaft seien die Planung sicherer Heimwege nach Sonnenuntergang oder die Vermeidung anstößiger oder auffallender Kleidung genannt.

Care-Krise

In den letzten Jahren und im Kontext der ökonomischen Krisen seit 2008 wird vermehrt auch auf Krisenmomente und Versorgungs-Lücken im Care-Bereich hingewiesen und eine Care-Krise bzw. eine Krise der sozialen Reproduktion konstatiert. Diese Diagnose wird anhand unterschiedlicher Entwicklungen verdeutlicht. So verschlechtern sich mit Kürzungen im Sozialbereich und der wachsenden Bedeutung marktwirtschaftlicher Kriterien im Gesundheits- und Pflegebereich die Arbeitsbedingungen in diesen Sektoren. Enge zeitliche Taktungen, chronischer Personalmangel und eine hohe Arbeitsbelastung machen qualitativ gute Care-Arbeit zunehmend schwierig. Gleichzeitig führen die hohen Arbeitsbelastungen beispielsweise in der Altenpflege und im Kita-Bereich zu sehr hohen krankheitsbedingten Fehlzeiten von knapp 29 bzw. knapp 23 Tagen im Jahr. Der Unmut hierüber äußerte sich im Jahr 2009 in einem monatelangen Streik der Erzieherinnen und Erzieher für höhere Löhne und einen verbesserten Gesundheitsschutz.

Aber auch im privaten Bereich stehen Menschen mit Care-Verpflichtungen unter großen Belastungen. So hat ein Großteil der pflegenden Angehörigen ihre Belastungsgrenzen erreicht oder überschritten und etwa 40 % der pflegenden Angehörigen zeigen Symptome eines Burnout. Auch Eltern stellt sich die schwierige Frage einer Vereinbarkeit von Familie und Beruf, während sie gleichzeitig in der Kindererziehung durch neue Bildungsanforderungen wachsende Aufgaben meistern müssen. Die Ursache der skizzierten Krisentendenzen sieht Gabriele Winker in einem "zugespitzten Widerspruch zwischen Profitmaximierung und der Reproduktion von Arbeitskraft". Unter dem Schlagwort der "Care Revolution" stellt sie daher eine politische Transformationsstrategie vor, die sich von der Logik kapitalistischer Warenproduktion abwendet. "Das Ziel der Care Revolution ist eine an menschlichen Bedürfnissen, insbesondere an der Sorge füreinander, orientierte – radikal demokratisch gestaltete Gesellschaft". Als mögliche Schritte einer gesellschaftlichen Veränderung im Sinne der Care Revolution beschreibt Gabriele Winker die Vernetzung von Care-Aktivisten und die Umverteilung von Care-Arbeit, die Durchsetzung einer Existenzsicherung auch ohne Lohnarbeit (zum Beispiel durch Bedingungsloses Grundeinkommen), Arbeitszeitverkürzung und den Ausbau sozialer Infrastruktur; eine gesellschaftliche Aufwertung von Care-Arbeit und schließlich die Demokratisierung der Care-Infrastruktur und die Vergesellschaftung aller Produktionsmittel. Notwendig hierfür wäre die Etablierung einer Kultur der Solidarität und des Miteinanders.

Ganz in diesem Sinne fand im März 2014 als Reaktion auf die vielfältigen Krisenaspekte im Care-Bereich eine Aktionskonferenz "Care Revolution" statt. Dabei trafen sich in Berlin etwa 500 Menschen aus unterschiedlichen Bereichen der Care-Arbeit und politischer Initiativen. Ihr Anliegen war es sich auszutauschen, zu vernetzen und aktiv zu werden. In einer abschließenden Resolution wurde deutlich gemacht, dass Care-Arbeit "zu einem zentralen Gegenstand politischer Aushandlung zu machen" sei. Hierfür gründete sich im Folgenden das Netzwerk "Care Revolution" als bundesweiter Zusammenschluss von über 70 Gruppen und Initiativen mit regionalen Vernetzungen.

Zudem wird die Reorganisation von Care-Arbeit durch Commoning und entsprechend selbstorganisierte Zusammenschlüsse diskutiert.

Sadness of Jennifer Aniston's final words to Angelina Jolie before Brad Pitt affair
Tracy burrich
Published on September 5, 2019
Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but Jennifer Aniston's last words to Angelina Jolie before her affair with Brad Pitt are now tinged with sadness.
Jennifer was embarking on the final series of Friends when she met Angelina in a car park before filming of Mr and Mrs Smith had began in 2004.
There had been a lot of tension in the marriage between Jen and Brad, as he had objected to her agreeing to filming a last series of the hit comedy, despite her bagging a cool $1 million (£786,000) per episode.
Brad was a noticeable absentee when Friends was finally wrapped up and cast, crew and families gathered for one last party.

Jennifer had shrugged off questions about where her husband was by saying he was busy filming Mr and Mrs Smith.
Brad for his part said that he didn't want to see the last episode being filmed as he didn't want to 'spoil it' for when he got to watch it on TV.
Unbeknown to her at that time though, in truth Jennifer had lost Brad's heart to another and their marriage was soon to be over.

Speaking to Vanity Fair about that time in her life, Jennifer revealed that the one and only time she met Angelina was actually in the car park of where Friends was filmed.
This was days before Angelina would hook up with Brad on the set of the movie that they would come out of the other side as a future husband and wife.
Jennifer said about the meeting: "I pulled over and introduced myself.
"I said, 'Brad is so excited about working with you. I hope you guys have a really good time.'"

The sadness of this comment can now be felt now time has passed as friends of Jennifer admitted that Brad soon after 'checked out emotionally' from their marriage.
Jennifer admitted herself that soon after Brad met Angelina "he was gone."

The search for suspects in the attempted delivery of packages resembling bombs to prominent Democratic political figures continues as investigators try to figure out who sent the suspicious packages and why.
The number of potential crime scenes reached 10, as law enforcement officials found more packages addressed to high-profile figures, including former Vice President Joe Biden and Hollywood actor Robert De Niro, an outspoken critic of President Donald Trump.
Law enforcement officials are treating the mail bombs as a potential act of terrorism, as investigators zero in on Florida as the place of origin for some of the devices.
Among the others targeted were former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton; former President Barack Obama; former CIA Director John Brennan (via CNN's offices in New York); billionaire liberal political donor George Soros; former Attorney General Eric Holder; and Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif.
None of the bombs actually exploded, which experts consider significant, given that some traveled through the postal system—a bumpy journey. NBC reported that some of the bombs analyzed were "flawed and not capable of exploding," but whether that was a design flaw or intentional is not yet known.
The suspicious powder found in the packages sent to New York addresses, including to the CNN offices, "did not contain a biological threat," FBI Assistant Director William Sweeney said at a press conference.
Many in the media spent the day suggesting Trump bears responsibility for the mail bombs, despite not yet knowing who the perpetrator is or his or her motives. Some media organizations such as CNN cited the rhetoric Trump has used about the intended recipients.
"There is a total and complete lack of understanding at the White House about the seriousness of their continued attacks on the media, and especially the White House press secretary should understand their words matter," CNN's president, Jeff Zucker, said in a statement.
"Thus far, they have shown no comprehension of that," he said.
Trump condemned the mail bombs Wednesday, at the White House and at a later rally in Wisconsin.
"Acts and threats of political violence have no place in the United States of America," the president said.
As the investigation continues, federal agencies are reviewing security protocols for former Cabinet-level officials and other high-profile figures.

It's our ROM day on 25 Jan 2013, Friday.
It was right after my exam, and I was so worried and stressed about the exam, I actually lost 1 whole KG in 2days, 3 meals as per normal though.
Ok, enough about the exam. Its about my big day.... the solemnization.
I have bought 2 gowns online, yup, ONLINE at Gmarket, Qoo10, and I got a hard time to choose either which to wear for my ROM. Some asked me to wear both of them! Although, I liked the idea but I think its pretty lame.
This was bought at $35.70.
I took M size as I knew I was definitely able to slim down to put that on.
I would say it quite a pretty dress at such cheap price.
I took M size also, for the same reason.
Yes, THIS!!!Cos I somehow look a little slimmer with this dress.
And lastly, I found a white heels with shimmery tip...on sale at NEW LOOK.
It was $21.90 if I'm not wrong, and with 10% discount for Citibank credit cards.
Anyway, just for your information, I'm wearing size 37!
Have bought some simple accessories from Lovisa. Couldn't quite remember the price of the necklaces and earrings. But it shouldn't be too expensive.
Ok, everything is prepared. All ready for the day. Woke up early around 8plus in the morning.
Put on my gown, so that the makeup artist would know what will be suitable?
My buddies were here too, kept complaining that why do i ask them to come so early when the solemnization takes place only at 1pm!!
Must check my make ups and hair dos, and touch up ma... tio bo!
Ok, make up artist has reached, anyway she was introduced by my sister-in law, as she did her makeup and hairdo previously for her ROM too. so well, I trust her skills.
The sort of like head band thing was actually a necklace bought at Forever21 at $11 if I'm not wrong.
Thanks for Elise, who put this headband thing up for me!
The back view of my hairdo. A little flower hair tie bought at DAISO for $2.
Its Shanna... the workaholic now.
The ladies got some gifts for me, and i really appreciated their effort and they are really the ones who will stand by me when i'm down. I love you gals!
They said its for Samuel to Scrub for me... oki doki!
Ok, it was time to set off!!! We took a cab over, and there was a JAM. I was really worried, cos it was already 1220pm and my dad n mum were still not back home yet.
Once we arrived the place, to my surprise, my buddies actually prepared cupcakes for the event.
Cupcake was done by Wendy's friend.
All the little cards pasted on top were done by Wendy!
These cute pretty cookies were ordered by me.
I have ordered cupcakes from her previously, not bad.
These heart shape cards were done by my bro, Raymond! Thanks!
The wedding favors for the guests!
All our friends had arrived,but the family members from both sides were not here yet. Kan chiongs.
Finally, at about 1.15pm, my family members arrived. So, we chop chop curry pok! and start the solemnisation!
I found him through wedding forum.
When meeting up with him, he actually gave both Sam n I some surveys to do, to know more about each other. Some of the points to take note, etc.
On the ROM day, he was 15minutes earlier than the solemnization.
Solemniser asked: " Friends of Samuel, please raise your hands"
Agnes B Bangle from my bro, Raymond!
Here comes the dishes... I have never tasted their food, but it was the feel and good feedback on the food, so we decided to choose this place, Si Chuan Dou Hua Restaurant.
But, after tasting the food, i would say... its really quite important to do some tasting beforehand even though its just a wedding lunch.
The food were soso, portion was kinda small too. The shark fin soup was kinda watery(Forgotten to take photo of it). Probably, we are not used to Si chuan dishes... There were some appetizers, and I forgot how it taste n look like already (Forgotten to take photo of that too).
This taste quite alright, a little spicy.
Lastly, their si chuan dou hua.
So, Its Photo taking time!!!!
Sam's Buddies! Calvin & Justin!
Sam's Family.... Mine now too.
I'm now married. I'm now Mrs Lim. Time flies. We've been together for 3 years. Never had i thought that I would get married at such young age. Like i always like to tell to everyone, when you meet your Mr or Ms Right... things will just happen differently.
Next we'll have lots more to discuss, find out and work for our new LOVE NEST and our customary wedding.
Next, i'll share on how i lost those weight in 2months time!!!


Subscriptions are like paper cuts. If you get too many of them, they can harm your financial and physical well-being. The nastiest part is they're so darn small, they often go undetected for quite some time.
In the past five years, the subscription e-commerce market in the U.S. has grown by 100 per cent per year with over 15 per cent of online shoppers now receiving products delivered to their door on a recurring (often monthly) basis, such as Blue Apron or Dollar Shave Club. In its in-depth 2018 study, McKinsey & Company also found that nearly 50 per cent of individuals they polled were subscribed to a streaming service like Netflix. It's safe to say that Canadian e-commerce has followed a similar trajectory.
The traditional subscription market, predominately to gyms and fitness clubs, is also steadily growing, with mid-range gym membership in Canada costing an average of $40-60 per month.
When you add these subscriptions all together, it can equate to hundreds of dollars per month. Here are my tips to save on subscriptions.
Have you taken an inventory of all of your subscriptions? A great way to do this is to review your credit card and bank statements monthly (personally, I make this a part of my regular monthly budgeting process). Subscriptions show up as a recurring payment, and because the amounts can look really small, they're easy to glaze over. So, take your time and really examine those statements. This is exactly how I found out about my forgotten Amazon Prime subscription. I'd signed up for a free trial, which then lapsed into the full paid version, which I wasn't using.
Do you love, and use, the products and services? If you don't, cut them out of your budget.
For example, one of my gal pals is big into fitness classes and she hates doing the same class twice in a week. So, she subscribed to multiple online fitness classes she could do right from her living room. The problem, however, was that to get the variety she wanted, she was spending too much money on multiple subscriptions. She then cancelled the online subscriptions, researched fitness centres near her work, and joined a gym where they offered the variety of classes she enjoys: yoga, bootcamps, HIIT, body pump, sprints, zumba and more.
