We Are Not A Colony of the Northern Empire — ELN
Trump exercises as an emperor and threatens tariffs, to further submit to the peripheral countries of the empire and that as his vassals, work for the prosperity of the metropolis; New forms of hegemony, with which they seek to replace the failed neoliberal capitalism. Popular sovereignty ceased to exist in the so -called democracies of the capitalist west, by ceasing to exist the free formation of opinion and popular will, which are prefabricated by media machinery, owned by financial capital agencies.
The popular political will to determine the lines of development of the economy and society, replace it with the interests imposed from the force of economic power. So what is the use of the people win elections and reach the government? Neoliberal globalization as an international hegemonic regime subordinated to the nation-states, through the World Bank (BM) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), imposing them to domain policies of the United States, which keeps them in chronic deficit of balance and commercial balance, until they convert them into unfeasible countries, due to the crushing weight of the external debt; forcing them to deliver to foreign investors their natural assets and public infrastructure; exacerbating social inequality and strengthening oligarchies as agents of the Empire, replacing democratic control and representation.
So where did national sovereignty go? When the neoliberal order is exhausted, capitalism enters a crisis of domination, so they try to consolidate an empire in which the vassals have to consume their products and where the accumulation of capital makes it with the war. This is why Trump sends from the metropolis, so that the other countries meet him as colonies.
National self -determination is a democratic claim, dignity and national sovereignty are rights that will be conquered with the mobilization and struggle of the majority of society, facing the retrograde vision of the plutocracy of the empire, which seeks to return us to the colonial state, therefore, it is imperative to fight for the second and definitive independence.

The growing global concern over tire waste has prompted the development of innovative methods to recycle and repurpose used tires. Tire pyrolysis, a thermochemical decomposition process, offers an effective solution by transforming waste tires into valuable by-products, such as tire pyrolysis oil (TPO), recovered carbon black (rCB), and other secondary materials. These by-products hold immense value, both in terms of their economic potential and their environmental benefits. This article explores the multiple values created by tire pyrolysis, focusing on TPO and rCB.
Pyrolysis is a high-temperature process that decomposes organic materials in the absence of oxygen. In the case of tires, the process involves heating shredded tire waste in a reactor, typically within a tire pyrolysis plant, at temperatures ranging from 350°C to 700°C. This leads to the breaking of chemical bonds, resulting in the production of several by-products, including TPO, rCB, and gas. These outputs offer a sustainable solution for both waste management and resource recovery.
Tire pyrolysis oil is one of the key by-products of the tire pyrolysis process. TPO is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons that can be refined and processed into a variety of valuable fuels and chemicals. As an alternative to crude oil, TPO can be used as a fuel for industrial boilers, furnaces, and power plants, offering a more sustainable energy source compared to traditional fossil fuels.
The high calorific value of TPO makes it a valuable energy resource, especially in industries requiring large amounts of heat or electricity. By replacing conventional fuel sources like coal and natural gas, TPO can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with energy production. Furthermore, TPO can be further processed to produce synthetic fuels, lubricants, or even used as a feedstock for petrochemical industries. This versatile by-product adds considerable value to the tire pyrolysis process, contributing to the circular economy by reducing the reliance on non-renewable resources.
Recovered carbon black is another valuable by-product of tire pyrolysis. Carbon black, traditionally used as a reinforcing agent in the production of rubber, is an essential component in tire manufacturing. During pyrolysis, carbon black is extracted from the tire material and is known as rCB when it is recovered in its usable form.
rCB has numerous applications, especially in the production of new tires, rubber products, and plastics. It is a cost-effective alternative to virgin carbon black, which is typically produced through the incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons. The use of rCB not only provides economic savings but also helps reduce the environmental impact associated with the production of carbon black. Moreover, rCB can be utilized in various other industries, including coatings, inks, and paints, further broadening its market appeal.
The use of rCB helps close the loop on tire waste, transforming what was once considered a waste product into a valuable material. By using rCB in new products, manufacturers can reduce their dependence on virgin materials, making the entire process more sustainable and resource-efficient.
Tire pyrolysis, through the recovery of TPO and rCB, provides substantial environmental benefits. The disposal of used tires, which often ends up in landfills or illegal dumpsites, is a major environmental challenge. Tire pyrolysis diverts this waste from landfills, reducing the environmental hazards associated with tire accumulation. The pyrolysis plant process also prevents harmful emissions from burning tires, as the controlled environment of pyrolysis minimizes the release of toxic gases.
In addition, by converting tires into useful products like TPO and rCB, pyrolysis reduces the reliance on virgin resources and mitigates the carbon emissions associated with traditional extraction and manufacturing processes. This contributes to a lower carbon footprint, aligning with global sustainability goals and efforts to reduce environmental pollution.
On the economic front, the production of TPO and rCB creates new market opportunities. TPO, as an alternative fuel, offers a cost-effective solution for energy production, especially in industries with high energy demands. rCB, on the other hand, provides a valuable raw material for industries like rubber and plastics, reducing production costs and offering a sustainable alternative to virgin carbon black. The market for both TPO and rCB is growing, as businesses increasingly seek eco-friendly and economically viable solutions for waste management and resource utilization.
Advancements in pyrolysis technology have significantly improved the efficiency and scalability of tire pyrolysis plants. Enhanced reactor designs, better control of temperature and pressure conditions, and improved feedstock pretreatment processes have led to higher yields of TPO and rCB. Moreover, innovations in catalytic pyrolysis and gas purification are helping to improve the quality of the by-products, making them more suitable for a wider range of applications.
The integration of automation and digital monitoring systems in modern pyrolysis plants also ensures optimal operational efficiency. Real-time monitoring of key parameters, such as temperature, pressure, and reaction rates, allows for better control of the process, reducing energy consumption and minimizing waste.
Tire pyrolysis plays a pivotal role in moving toward a circular economy. By turning waste tires into valuable products like TPO and rCB, the process contributes to resource recovery and waste reduction. The pyrolysis process helps create a closed-loop system, where the waste from one process becomes the feedstock for another, reducing the need for virgin resources and minimizing environmental impact.
Furthermore, the market for pyrolysis by-products is expected to expand as industries embrace more sustainable practices. The continued development of pyrolysis technology and its integration into various sectors will further enhance the role of tire pyrolysis in reducing waste, conserving resources, and supporting the transition to a sustainable future.
Tire pyrolysis is a transformative process that turns waste tires into valuable resources, including TPO and rCB. These by-products provide both environmental and economic value, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional fuel and raw material sources. As pyrolysis technology continues to evolve, its role in the circular economy will only grow, making it an essential solution for addressing tire waste and creating a more sustainable world.

Operating a company in Singapore requires adherence to strict regulatory deadlines, particularly for the Annual General Meeting (AGM) and Annual Return (AR). These are legal obligations, not optional tasks. Missing them results in penalties from ACRA, Singapore’s corporate regulator.
Whether the oversight stemmed from forgetfulness, a busy schedule, or lack of regulatory knowledge, ACRA imposes fines regardless of the reason. These penalties can escalate quickly if ignored. Fortunately, you can rectify these issues. Here’s what late filing means, its costs, and how to resolve it before it worsens.
Every Singapore company must hold an AGM and file an Annual Return with ACRA. The AGM is a meeting where directors present financial statements to shareholders, discussing the company’s performance. Unless you’re a small exempt private company opting to skip the AGM, it must occur within six months of the financial year end.
The Annual Return, submitted via ACRA’s BizFile+ portal, updates key company details—shareholders, officers, and financial status. It’s due within seven months of the financial year end. Failing to meet either requirement triggers immediate penalties.
ACRA levies fines for missed deadlines, starting small but growing with delays. A late Annual Return can cost up to $600 per filing. If you’re behind on multiple years, these penalties add up fast.
Skipping the AGM or AR filing violates the Companies Act, potentially leading to a Notice to Comply, a Summons, or court action. ACRA may not pursue immediately, but they can address breaches from previous years. Ignoring the issue only amplifies the problem.
Fixing late filings is straightforward with swift action. Begin by checking your company’s financial year end and reviewing past AGM and AR submissions on BizFile+. Missing filings will be evident.
Prepare overdue documents, such as financial statements for past years. Even non-trading companies must file declarations. Submit everything through BizFile+, paying the required late fees during the process.
To prevent future lapses, consider hiring corporate secretarial professionals. If in-house management led to missed deadlines, secretarial services can ensure consistent compliance.
A Notice to Attend Court from ACRA is serious. Before the court date, you can file overdue documents and pay penalties to potentially have the summons withdrawn. Acting quickly is critical—delays risk court fines or a criminal record.
If you’ve already been fined, you must still submit overdue filings. The court addresses the violation, but compliance obligations remain.
Late filings often occur due to poor organization. Deadlines slip during staff changes or busy periods. Some mistakenly believe small or dormant companies are exempt, but all must file ARs. Many Singapore businesses rely on corporate secretarial support to maintain timely filings.
ACRA allows appeals in rare cases, such as severe illness or unexpected business disruptions. Appeals must be filed via BizFile+ with supporting evidence. However, simple oversights or lack of awareness rarely qualify, as directors are expected to know their responsibilities.
Non-operational companies must remain compliant until formally struck off. This includes filing AGMs and ARs or applying for strike off. Neglecting filings for a dormant company invites fines, and ACRA may reject strike-off requests until all filings are current. To close a company, ensure compliance first.
If you’ve missed deadlines, act immediately. Don’t wait for ACRA to escalate with a summons. File overdue documents, pay penalties, and restore compliance. It’s not enjoyable, but it’s manageable. If tracking deadlines is overwhelming, secretarial services can handle corporate secretarial tasks, allowing you to focus on your business.
Late filings don’t define your business, but neglecting them can harm it. Address the issue now and stay compliant going forward.
Corporate secretarial services are an integral part of business management and compliance, particularly in the context of corporate secretarial services in Singapore.Entrust Public Accounting

J'ai peu d'audience mais je tente ma chance : je cherche une solution pour refermer les #bouteilles par moi-même.
Depuis que les #bouchons sont attachés, il faut souvent les mettre bien droit pour pouvoir les refermer. Or, mes mains handies n'y arrivent pas. Juste détacher le bouchon est trop contraignant.
Est-ce que quelqu'un aurait une idée d'astuce à essayer dans ce cas ?
Le re-pouet est doux 🥰

Israel wurde vom Internationalen Gerichtshof angewiesen damit aufzuhören dem palästinensischen Volk »vorsätzlich Lebensbedingungen aufzuerlegen die geeignet sind, dessen körperliche Zerstörung ganz oder teilweise herbeizuführen«
Der Staat Israel tat das Gegenteil, pfercht Menschen ein, lässt sie verhungern und tötet Tag für Tag viele Dutzende Menschen.
