Over the summer and early fall, more than 1,600 people were injured and more than 200 were treated in hospitals, according to the chinese ministry of health in beijing. Why the hornets suddenly attacked so many people was initially unclear.

In summer and early fall, according to chinese media reports, the hornets flew into schools and attacked farmers in their fields. "They went for my head and sat on my legs. I couldn’t move," the farmer mu conghui described an attack near the city of ankang to the official xinhua news agency. For two months, she has been treated in a hospital, including dialysis. She still can not move her legs again.

In august, a swarm of hornets attacked an elementary school in the city of nanning in guangxi province. The children ran through the area screaming in panic, teacher li zhiqiang told xinhua agency. He had tried in vain to drive away the insects. 30 people were injured in the attack, 23 of them schoolchildren. However, no one’s life was in danger.

The insects are probably not the usual hornets, but the asian giant hornets, about the size of a thumb, according to the ministry of health. The animals are mostly 3.5 centimeters to 5.5 centimeters long and reach a wingspan of almost 8 centimeters, report zoologists at the university of michigan. When they sting, they inject a poison into their victims that some people are allergic to. In japan, up to 50 people die each year after being attacked by the vespa mandarinia, according to university data.

Huang rongyao of the ankang city forestry department sees a possible cause for the attacks in a two-month heat wave. That made the insects more active. Moreover, due to changes in vegetation, the hornets had spread more into areas populated by humans, he told xinhua. Ten years ago, japanese researchers identified ingredients in cosmetics, for example, as possible irritants for the giant hornets.

The hornets that occur in germany are considered to pose little threat to humans. Their stings are no more dangerous than those of bees or wasps. If you are buzzed by one of the coarse insects, you should stay calm and not lash out, experts recommend.

The golf club bad kissingen has the most important mabnahmen of the "projekt platz 2020" completed. He has now told the press. This is to secure the future of the golf club and the club facilities, it says.

An english head greenskeeper was hired for the new course maintenance structure. Oko-dynamic principles apply. Work on a new irrigation system began in 2016. The bunkers were built according to the english concept with steep walls. The gruns, some of which are already 100 years old, received a new ocological processing concept. The layout of the runways was redesigned to better fit into the park landscape. In the "golf&" project nature" the golf club received the desired silver certificate in may 2018. . In addition, in coordination with the bund naturschutz, bird stands and insect hotels were set up and a stone landscape for small animals was created.

One of our main objectives was to ensure traffic safety and to introduce a health protection system. For traffic safety the new construction of paths, as service roads and connecting paths between the courses belonged. Also a technical plan for the maintenance and servicing of the machinery, the golf course and the buildings, with expert advice from an occupational safety specialist. Stairs to the tees were renewed and natural material was used. A bridge over the lollbach, donated by members, was renewed as a wooden structure.

In the area of health protection for members, guests and employees, a first aid team of employees was trained. In addition to the occupational safety specialist, a general practitioner for health protection was recruited. Thanks to a donation, a defibrillator was purchased – a very sensible and necessary purchase for the club’s age structure, according to the press release.

To improve the condition of the course, the driving range teeline was rebuilt and a "par 3 6-hole short course" was added so that now golf beginners, teenagers, pros with their students and old golfers now have a choice of training facilities for all types of the game.
Finally, the golf club’s homepage was given a facelift.

All this is only possible because there is a team of professional helpers who work on a voluntary basis and because the members donate generously, says the golf club. For example, it has been offered to take over the sponsorship of lanes. Three members and the wednesday men’s golfers had taken advantage of this opportunity. A large number of members have donated to the project for a specific purpose. The financing was then finally secured with the sparkasse bad kissingen.

In total, the four-man core team and up to 15 other volunteers have so far put in over 2835 hours of work, free of charge for the club.

The accusations weighed heavily. And they came up twice on wednesday. In room 14 of the district court, the head of a care service provider based in the district had to answer for his actions. Two indictments have been filed, one for withholding pay and one for fraud.

The claim was made in a rough manner. To examine all the evidence, invoices and recollections raised by witnesses should require a second hearing after a decision by ulrike barausch. This led to the separation of the proceedings and the reassignment of the issue of labor compensation. All the more time, therefore, to deal with the allegation of fraud, on which the 41-year-old defendant was to take a stand. It was a matter of incorrectly billed services in the period between november 2014 and january 2016, which were allegedly not provided at several points in time to five sick persons. However, they were offset and recovered from four health insurance companies. According to prosecutor michael koch, the resulting damage amounted to a total of 19,762.68 euros, which the insurers were cheated out of.

Right at the beginning of the trial, the defendant admitted that all "invoices and contacts with the health insurance companies" had been made the budget passed over its table. But the question was whether it was the 41-year-old himself who entered services into the forms that were never provided. For a long time it was supposed to look as if everything would remain opaque. On one occasion, the accused stated that the initials left on a form were not his, but those of a representative, and on another occasion, he stated that he had merely signed the performance records submitted to him by employees. So if it was they who did the manipulating?

The defendant’s lawyer, florian donath, also considered this variant to be possible, which prosecutor michael kuch was pleased to comment on in the defendant’s direction: "in summary, you have nothing to do with settlements and the accusations come from employees who have conspired against you?"

Real shadows fell on the person of the head of the nursing service in the sixth hour of negotiations, when a former employee spoke of choleric attacks of her former boss and when other former and current employees began to talk about the fact that their wages and salaries had not been paid or had been paid late. A co-worker even told of it, at present "because of all the incidents in therapy" to be. The testimony of a woman who claimed care for a family member and who claimed that the defendant had tried to get her to sign a care form "in blank" also weighed heavily. Neither the services rendered nor the time were noted on the paper.

A social security employee who took the stand was able to confirm that the information came from a business office in bayreuth, that she was insured and that she had been given the opportunity to testify. Employees of the care service had come forward and heard about wrong signatures or. Signed off not rendered services spoken of. "So we gave the whole case to the public prosecutor’s office." A verdict was not pronounced on wednesday. But already on 10. On january the matter will be renegotiated in a continuation date.

Despite the successes in the fight against AIDS, the worldwide epidemic is far from over. "It is also far from under control," warns unicef.

According to the report, there are around three million HIV-infected children and adolescents worldwide. Two-thirds of teenagers who get infected are girls, he says.

Systematic discrimination puts girls at particular risk, says unicef executive director henrietta fore. "In most countries, girls and women have less access to information, health services or simply not enough power to say 'no' to unprotected sex." Added sexual violence and poverty, which can force girls into prostitution.

The children's aid organization documents the devastating consequences of the aids epidemic for young people. In 2017, 130,000 children and adolescents under the age of 19 died of immunodeficiency diseases worldwide, and 430,000 were infected with the HIV virus. On a positive note, the number of new infections has almost halved since 2000.

Prevention and aid must now be targeted at the younger generation, unicef stresses. For especially in developing countries, the proportion of children and adolescents is rising. Already nine out of ten HIV-positive children in the world live in Africa.

Men and women are equal. This year, our constitution will be 70 years old, and it has been written in the constitution for just as long that no one may suffer disadvantages because of his or her gender. "Equality is enshrined in german law and EU directives", says harald rost. The sociologist has been conducting research at the ifb for over 20 years: the state institute for family research at the university of bamberg is the only scientific organization in germany devoted exclusively to family research. There is a lot to be said for equal rights, for the equality of men and women. It exists. On paper. "There is a wide gap between the norm and reality."

Germany's next top managers?

The reality is that the proportion of women in management positions is only 29 percent, five percent below the global average. Top model shows and wedding shows dominate large parts of the image of women in the media. Secure, highest-paying job prospects for decades to come offered by the "mint-professions: mathematics, computer science, natural sciences, technology – although germany is the third most important country here after the u.S. And india, only 16 percent of ours are "mint-female talents. This is the criticism of the latest global gender gap report, for which the world economic forum analyzes the gap between the opportunities of men and women every year.

Overall, germany ranks 14th in the world for 2018. From 149 bursts. In the field of health, the federal republic achieves almost top scores. If there is a disadvantage here, then it affects the men: on average they live three years less. There is hardly any difference between the sexes when it comes to education in this country. Nevertheless, germany only made it to 36th place in the field of economics in 2018. Place. Behind countries like botswana, thailand, ghana and rwanda.

"Role distribution young phenomenon"

In germany, women do almost two-thirds of the unpaid housework and care for children and dependents. Time off, career cutbacks, part-time jobs: many women give up economic independence for the sake of their families – until their old-age pensions are lower than usual.

"In the 1950s, the image of the man as breadwinner and the woman who takes care of the household and family developed. In the 1960s and 1970s, a man was proud that his wife didn't have to work", says rost. "This distribution of roles is a relatively recent phenomenon: in the past, women always worked." The deputy director of the ifb explains that the gender image from the post-war period is softening more and more. "But how common it still is, you can see clearly as soon as a child comes along."

Among mothers in germany today, 30 percent are not employed at all, and more than two-thirds of working mothers work part-time. But only just under six percent of fathers.

Men don't have it easy either

For dads, this means that 94 percent can hardly ever pick up their children from kindergarten or school, miss a lot of school and today often suffer from the bad parental conscience that long plagued only working mothers. "Just a few years ago, reconciling family and career was a women's issue only. This has changed. Expectations of the role of father have changed", says rost. "Women want a committed father, men also want to get something out of their children. And they want to offer the child something." In other words, they want to fulfill the classic role of a breadwinner and have plenty of time for their family. It is not easy.

What couples negotiate among themselves

The law allows fathers to take one year of parental leave, for example. "But in fact most of them can't do it, they just stay at home for two months. Often it is not compatible with the conditions of professional life if a father wants to work part-time." But why actually?

In the netherlands, 26 percent of the manner do not work full time. Part-time employees are not automatically second-class colleagues if a company is well-positioned. This means that work and family life can be shared more fairly between men and women. Children spend equal time with mom and dad. Both parents can earn money. But they can't simply negotiate responsibilities individually when the political and economic framework is geared to old role patterns. No matter how cool, modern and educated the couple may be, no matter how much the man may affirm that he will stay at home with his child – if he earns 1000 euros more than she does, mom will work part-time and dad full-time. This is part of the spiral that leads to women earning less in germany. And politicians are calling for a higher-income model with measures such as spousal splitting.

Money and laws

France is setting the political course differently. "Often both parents have to work full time to make ends meet", says rost. But children are seen as a task for society as a whole. "There is a lot of investment in infrastructure and many incentives to have children."

In iceland, which tops the global gender gap report for the tenth year in a row, a law came into force in 2018 that forces companies with more than 25 employees to pay equal wages to men and women – and to provide proof of it. Women are very present in icelandic politics. In addition to economic equality, germany also has some catching up to do in terms of political participation. The number of women in the new bundestag is the lowest it has been in 20 years.

Good kindergarten, equal opportunities

Rost believes that the good daycare law, which has been in force since 1. The new law, which comes into effect on january 1, can help achieve greater equality of opportunity. "The right screw is being tightened. Germany is a country that has invested very little in childcare. It's not just about quantity. Parents want their children to be well taken care of when they go to work." However, there is a lack of educators for the "good kindergarten". To close this loophole is not only a step to improve the opportunities of many women. It also improves equal opportunities for children. Because it also exists – on paper.

Sex, power, bills: milestones in the history of equality

1911the first women's day is celebrated in denmark, germany, austria-hungary and switzerland. Proposed a year earlier by the german socialist clara zetkin at the international socialist women's conference in copenhagen. International women's day is now always celebrated on 8 march.

1968 the law on maternity protection is improved; there is now a period of protection for working mothers of six weeks before and eight weeks after childbirth.

1971 the illustrated "stern headlines with the headline "we have had an abortion!". In the campaign initiated by alice schwarzer, 374 women declare that they have violated section 218 of the penal code. This fires up the public debate on abortion. Several reforms follow. Today, abortion is no longer punished in the first twelve weeks after counseling by a recognized agency. 1972 germany's first women's list in local elections is established in hirschaid near bamberg, germany.

1975 the UN proclaims the "international year of the woman from. For the first time, the UN organizes a celebration of international women's day. The first UN world conference on women is held in mexico city. The "UN decade of women" follows from 1976 to 1985.

1977 marriage and family law is reformed. Women are now allowed to go to work without the consent of their husbands, among other things. 1980 the law on equal treatment of men and women in the workplace is enacted.

1996 the legal right to a kindergarten place is introduced. It applies in principle to children over the age of three.

1997 marital rape is made a criminal offense.

2005 women are underrepresented in parliamentary and cabinet seats and ministerial posts worldwide. Female heads of state are even rarer: with angela merkel, germany has its first female chancellor.

2013 the journalist laura himmelreich joins in a sexism debate after disparaging remarks by the FDP politician rainer bruderle. The hashtag #aufschrei (outcry) is established on the internet service twitter for news about sexism. 2015 law for equal participation of women and men in leadership positions obliges 108 listed companies to have at least 30 percent of their supervisory board made up of women. 2016 the sexual offence law is tightened: for the first time, the principle "no means no" is applied codified. This so-called "grapscherparagraf" (groper's paragraph) should better protect women from sexualized violence.

2017 with revelations about hollywood producer harvey weinstein, a discussion about sexual abuse, harassment and incrimination begins. Under the hashtag "me too women around the world draw attention to it. 2018 the law demanding transparency of pay structures, often called the equal pay act, takes effect in practice. Employees now have a right to information.

The unemployment rate this year in march was 3.8 percent. A year ago in march it amounted to 3.5 percent, the employment agency further reported.

The number of jobs in the district increased by 16 from february to march 2013 to 314 open positions. There were nine fewer jobs compared to the same month last year.

As expected, unemployment declined in march. But only slightly. "The relatively moderate spring upswing is particularly noticeable in comparison with the previous year", thomas stelzer, head of the schweinfurt employment agency, states in his assessment of the first meteorological month of spring. The agency in schweinfurt is responsible for the entire main-rhon region. These are the four counties of habberge, bad kissingen, rhon-grabfeld and schweinfurt and the city of schweinfurt. In the habberge district, the employment agency maintains an office in habfurt.
According to the observations of the employment agency, the re-employment of many workers has been delayed so far due to the unfavorable weather conditions. A look at the number of registered jobs shows that the spring upswing is nevertheless just around the corner.

According to the agency, individual companies are having considerable problems finding suitable applicants for open positions. In addition to many areas of the skilled trades, the hotel and restaurant sector and the nursing professions are proving to be problematic in terms of staffing. "In the hotel and restaurant industry, it appears that some very good professionals no longer find it interesting enough to work in domestic operations. They are attracted to tourist hotspots such as the alpine region, or they apply for a job on one of the increasing number of cruise ships.", the head of the employment agency, thomas stelzer, passes on the observations of his placement specialists.

In the nursing professions, there is a rough supply of interesting jobs, especially in the two counties of bad kissingen and rhon-grabfeld, which are difficult to fill. "In the care sector we have a very rough demand in the region", explains stelzer "unfortunately, this is offset by a far too small supply of interested parties." Anyone who can imagine working in elderly care or health care should seriously consider this occupational field. A change, for example, from an occupation in the office, for which the chances on the labor market are unfavorable, even in the medium term, could be a possibility.
