Jeff Bezos, the richest man in the world. Amazon founder Bezos has 170 billion U.S. dollars in assets. China is the only market he could not conquer. Amazon eventually withdrew its Chinese business in 2019 after being pushed out by Chinese native companies such as Alibaba and Zhingdung.com. But Bezos had a daughter that he had hoped so much for on Chinese soil.

In 2006, when Chinese e-commerce began to flourish. Jeff Bezos steps on Chinese soil for the first time. At that time, his trip to China was not for business purposes, but for the adoption of his daughter. At that time, Bezos had three sons between his ex-wife Mackenzie, who divorced in 2019. The Bezos, who were "son-rich," wanted a daughter and began to consider adoption after being introduced by an acquaintance.

The Bezos adopted a girl from Hunan province with a beautiful smile as their daughter. As soon as he was born, he was abandoned by his parents. A child adopted by a strange American family grew up with three brothers. The new parents and brothers gave their children generous love and the child from China became a Chinese teacher for the Bezos family.

He was a strict Bezos to his son, but a caring father to his daughter. It is also said that he bought a small island only for his daughter and made it available for use during vacation. That's not all I cared about. Through the Western style of education, she was brought up as an independent child.

About 14 years have passed and Bezos has overtaken Bill Gates to become the richest man in the world after years of standing. Under U.S. law, adoptees can also inherit their heritage. Netizens now assume that the legacy of Bezos will be worth 34 trillion won each for four children.

China was once one of the largest senders of adoptions to the United States. Statistics show that as of 1992, about 100,000 Chinese children have been adopted by American families so far. Numerous abandoned children boarded flights to the United States in 1992 when a foreign national allowed them to adopt a Chinese child.

In China, a large population, there were many abandoned girls due to birth control policies and male preference. This is why the proportion of girls from China was high among adoptees. Compared to other countries, the adoption process was simpler and the cost was relatively low.

Many U.S. celebrities, including actors and politicians, adopt and raise Chinese children. For example, Hollywood actor McLion adopted a Chinese girl in 2006 and raised her with love.

The latest trend in the fashion industry is so-called "Fur-free," which stops using animal fur. Foreign luxury brands participating in the Puffrey movement say that slaughtering animals alive for human fashion is unethical and unethical. We looked for 'good' luxury fashion brands that ban the use of animal families.

◇Valentino is the first luxury brand to stop using wool.

On August 13, Italian fashion brand "Valentino" officially announced that it would stop using alpaca wool in all clothing by the end of 2021. Valentino is the first luxury brand to announce an end to the use of wool. The video clip of the world's leading animal rights group PETA revealing the fur collection of alpacas in May was the trigger.

The filming site is the world's largest Peruvian alpaca ranch and is run by Michelle Group, which supplies alpaca hair to the global fashion group. In the video, workers shaved off their hair by throwing alpacas onto the workbench or pressing down on the head or neck area. Alpacas were bleeding because of the workers' rough behavior. He did not anesthetize and sewed up wounds on his alpaca stomach.

After the revelation, fashion companies said they would not use alpaca wool. GAP, H&M Group, has decided to close its deal with Mikhel Group, the parent company of Malkini. "Valentino's decision will help prevent alpacas from being abused for their fur and covered with blood," said Vice Chairman Tracy Lyman Petta. "If there is the word alpaca on the clothing label, it's something we can do right away for alpacas."

◇Burberry has stopped incineration of inventory

Burberry, a leading British brand, said in September 2018 that it would stop using fur in its products. In other words, they will no longer use fur such as rabbits, foxes and mink. It will also use 120 tons of spare leather over the next five years to produce new products and create Royal College of Art and a research group to develop sustainable materials.

Burberry is not the first fashion brand to stop using fur. Starting with Stella McCartney, Gucci, Armani, Versace and Chanel have long declared that they will not use animal fur. Burberry's move is notable because of the changes he made immediately after the declaration. Natural fur disappeared from the debut show of Burberry's new creative director Ricardo Tish. Since then, the British Fashion Association (BFC) has announced that it will not use animal fur at London Fashion Week, one of the world's top four fashion shows.

It also stopped the practice of incinerating inventory. Some luxury brands have recalled and burned inventory products to protect brand value. They say it is better to burn it than the so-called "tang-treatment" sold at a low price. Burberry burned 28.6 million pounds of clothing, accessories and perfume in 2017 alone. Burberry said it was stopping incineration as concerns grew over waste of resources and environmental pollution.

◇Stella McCartney changed her perception of Injo Per.

A few years ago, the word 'per-free' was unfamiliar. In the past, artificial fur was an imitation of natural fur. Naturally, many people thought artificial sites were cheap and fake. But public opinion has changed since the FW Stella McCartney show in 2015. Stella McCartney proudly revealed that she used artificial fur through the 'FUR FREE FUR' collection. Fake fur is not shameful but more ethical and beautiful.

Famous animal lover and vegetarian, he has not used his family and fur since 2001. They don't use fur and leather from animals, as well as feathers and animal chemical experiment products. After 18 months of research, the company introduced "Snickers Loop" in 2018. It is a 100% recyclable eco-friendly sneakers. The armor and soles of the shoes were connected with special hooks and stitches, not adhesives. When the armor is worn out, the sole can be separated and recycled instead of throwing away the entire shoe.

◇Vegan fashion has become a global trend

With a series of per-free declarations by luxury brands, the fashion industry such as SPA brands, editing shops and outdoor brands is also enjoying strong vegan fashion trends. H&M and Zara have stopped selling wool textile products. Forever21 also announced that it would not sell clothing products that use Angora fabric after 2020. Six Netaropte Group, an overseas luxury brand editing shop, no longer deals with products that use mink, coyotes, foxes, rabbits and raccoons. Outdoor brands such as North Face, Lafuma and Millet are selling long padded coats certified as 'Responsible Down Standard (ROS)' that have collected hair in an ethical manner.

The reason why they are focusing on vegan fashion is that the size of the vegan market is growing. The global market for vegan fashion products is expected to exceed 85 billion dollars (about 100 trillion won) in 2025. Although the domestic vegan market is still small compared to overseas markets, there is ample potential for growth. The number of vegetarian consumers in Korea increased from 150,000 in 2008 to 1.5 million in 2018. In addition, most customers who want vegan products have high purchasing power and are willing to repurchase them, which can make them loyal customers. This is why the vegan market is considered a "blue ocean" with great potential for development in Korea.

-How does a microwave heat food?
-The secret that the ant survived! If you avoid the heat, you won't die.

On a weekend afternoon, James, which was doing homework, suddenly became hungry. After thinking about it, I decided to heat up the leftover pizza yesterday.

Put a slice of pizza in a container in the microwave for about 30 seconds, and as soon as you're about to take it out! James witnessed an incredible sight. Surprisingly, there is an ant in the microwave. And it's alive.

How could an ant survive in a microwave without dying?

How does a microwave heat up food?
Microwave oven to heat up all the food in minutes by pressing the switch! Complete the steaming hot food without fire. This all-around cooker heats food on a different principle than a regular gas stove.

Unlike a gas stove that heats food by heating it with a gas stove, a microwave oven uses a microwave wave to heat food.

What is a microwave? It is one of the various radio waves classified according to wavelengths, and it is a short radio wave that is 1mm to 1m long. Air, glass, paper, etc. pass through, reflect in gold, and absorbent in food and water.

Microwave can reach food in several directions through a microwave oven. It meets the water molecules in the food and creates heat and cooks the food evenly. Therefore, all foods with moisture are cooked well by microwave.

"Let's heat the ants in the microwave from now on?"
A host who was filming a program on the popular U.S. TV channel National Geographic makes an unusual suggestion when he enters a store that sells super king-sized hamburgers.

"I'm going to show you a simple experiment. If you think it's worth it, can you give me a burger for free?" The staff was happy to say yes.

Then the host said, "I'm going to put the ants in the microwave and heat them for 30 seconds. What will happen to ants?" asked a rather absurd question. The staff said, "It's going to die," and "It's going to be on fire." Such a poor ant was trapped in a microwave and in danger of being sacrificed.

But the results were not as expected. After 30 seconds, the ant was alive and well without a scratch. The employees exclaimed at the incredible result. The host shrugged as if nothing had happened, and was able to get a free hamburger as promised.

The secret that the ant survived! If you avoid the heat, you won't die.
How did an ant survive 30 seconds in the microwave? The reason is the ant's ability to circumvent the principle of microwave ovens. From now on, I will explain the secret in detail.

As I said before, microwave ovens send waves of waves called microwave to heat food. It hits the opposite wall and reflects to create an egg-shaped waveform. The area where the waveform touches is called the 'heat point', and the temperature in this area is the hottest.

Ants with a larger surface area than their volume have the ability to quickly release heat. So you can withstand a certain amount of heat. Also, the length between the heat point and the heat point is about 6cm. An ant less than one centimeter in size has enough space to avoid heat spots.

So the ants endure a certain amount of heat in the microwave, and when they feel that the spinning plates are getting close to the body, they quickly avoid the heat. That's why I was able to survive without any problems.

But even an ant that can withstand high temperatures can't hold out for more than 30 seconds. So we shouldn't sacrifice innocent ants out of simple curiosity?
