USA ELECTED PRESIDENT
It can hardly be debated that the United
States of America is the leading power
of the world, considerable attention is
paid on its important internal changes
worldwide, like the Presidential
election on 3 November. The challenge
of the 2020 voting was whether the 74
year old Republican Donald Trump
starts his new – second, according
to the law the last – four-year period
or the Democratic candidate, the
78 year old Joe Biden moves to the
White House as the 46th President of
the United States. By the documents
Biden is the winner, however Trump
did not acknowledge the victory
of his rival but mentioning fraud,
infringement said: he would turn to
the Supreme Court of the United
States. Thus as of today although
Biden won the election but we may
get the official and final answer to the
question whether he really won it or
not only after lengthy legal fights…
ENERGY IS GETTING GREEN
ALL OVER THE WORLD
Green energy is becoming more popular all over the world and
the renewable sources of energy are spreading in Hungary too. But
what is the connection between a solar power plant and planting
trees? The Ten Million Trees Foundation has just planted the
fifty thousandth tree when MET Kabai Solar Park started its
commercial production. The Swiss-based energy company, the
MET Group joined with the volunteers of the foundation and
planted the fifty thousandth tree together next to the solar power
plant. The action had a message: everybody should do he/she can
in the interest of sustainable future. Naturally, it is impossible
to stop climate change just by planting trees. According to the
foundation to be able to decrease its affects the key is the switch
over to the use of renewable sources of energy. The MET Group
– which wants to be an important factor in the production of
renewable energy in the East-European region too – has bought
Bulgaria’s fifth biggest wind park. As a responsible company,
bearing in mind sustainability and environmental protection,
elaborated the CSR strategy „f YOUture”.
JIMI HENDRIX
On 18 September half a century ago
Jimi Hendrix, one of the greatest rock
guitarists ever with the most significant
impact died. He got hardly 27 years of
life but his influence, musical heritage
will be surely alive for centuries. At least
undoubtedly until rock exists. It means
– according to the fans of this music
genre – forever … – it can be read in the
article about his short life story. Hendrix
has been more and more known
since the middle of the sixties, first
in Europe, then in his home country,
the United States of America, too. He
learnt by himself, in self-educated way
how to handle the strings with a lot of
practice. He created a school how to
use the guitar, to reach euphony and
also the way of performance. In such
a way that he – being left-handed –
played right-handed guitars brilliantly,
sometimes burning his guitar on the
scene. Unfortunately, alcohol and
drugs became an integral part of his life
causing his death.
