《銀翼殺手》（英語：Blade Runner，香港譯《2020》，中國大陸譯《銀翼殺手》）是一部1982年上映的美國新黑色反烏托邦科幻電影，為雷利·史考特執導，哈里遜·福特、魯格·豪爾、西恩·楊和愛德華·詹姆士·奧莫斯等人主演。電影的劇本由漢普敦·芬奇與大衛·畢波斯撰寫，改編自菲利普·K·迪克所著的1968年小說《仿生人會夢想擁有電動羊嗎？》（Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?）。《銀翼殺手》使原著作者菲利普·K·迪克受到好萊塢注目，他的其他作品之後也多被改編為電影[11]。雷利·史考特認為本片「可能」是他最完整、最個人化的電影[12][13]。1993年，《銀翼殺手》因其在「文化上、歷史上或美學上具重要意義」，獲美國國會圖書館列入國家影片登記表。該片現今獲得許多影評人將其列為有史以來最佳的科幻電影之一。

Upcycling is the opposite of downcycling,




Upcycling is the opposite of downcycling, which is the other face of the recycling process. Downcycling involves converting materials and products into new materials of lesser quality. Most recycling involves converting or extracting useful materials from a product and creating a different product or material.[1]
The terms upcycling and downcycling were first used in print in an article in SalvoNEWS by Thornton Kay quoting Reiner Pilz and published in 1994.[2]
We talked about the impending EU Demolition Waste Streams directive. "Recycling," he said, "I call it downcycling. They smash bricks, they smash everything. What we need is upcycling, where old products are given more value, not less." He despairs of the German situation and recalls the supply of a large quantity of reclaimed woodblock from an English supplier for a contract in Nuremberg, while just down the road a load of similar block was scrapped. In the road outside his premises was the result of the Germans' demolition "waste" recycling. It was a pinky looking aggregate with pieces of handmade brick, old tiles, and discernible parts of useful old items mixed with crushed concrete. Is this the future for Europe?

2019新型冠狀病毒全球至今已累計破百萬人染疫，然而，身為疫情爆發起始點的中國，近期不停利用輿論撇清疫情爆發點，並透過官媒與黨媒引述有利報導，將源頭指向它國。瑞典媒體《每日工業報》（Dagens industri）日前刊登評論，並畫上了“近平冠狀病毒”的圖樣。直指中國不斷透過輿論卸責。對此，中國駐瑞典大使館則發出聲明回應，反指瑞典媒體與該篇作者藐視科學。沒有消息透露中國方面是否加大對瑞典的反擊與報復。

特朗普說，說「#中國病毒」是因為自己不滿中國指美國軍方把病毒傳開：「中國在散播不實言論，捏造事實。與其爭論，不如直接說出病毒源頭，病毒的確是源自中國，所以我認為這說法非常準確。」
