Why cities aren ’ t as harmful as you think
|
Why cities aren ’ t as harmful as you think Matthew Keegan Image source, Getty Images New York experienced its first lockdown since the COVID-19 crisis, with Governor Andrew Cuomo tweeting: “New York ’ s population density is catastrophic.
It has to stop growing and it has to stop now.
New York City must immediately enact a plan to reduce population density.
Concerns about urban densities and calls to reduce them have persisted.
There have been reports of empty cities – large numbers of people have left high-density urban centres for suburbs and rural towns to escape the coronavirus.
A May survey by the International Council of Shopping Centers found that 27 percent of U.S. adults are considering moving because of the coronavirus crisis.
What ’ s more, the survey found that 43% of millennials are considering a career change.
However, despite all the claims that the pandemic proves that urban population density is not good, recent research suggests the opposite.
Data collected by the World Bank from 284 Chinese cities found that the impact of urban density may not be as great as we thought when it comes to fighting the virus.
In fact, cities with very high population densities, such as Shanghai, Beijing and Shenzhen, have far fewer confirmed cases per 10,000 people than cities with lower population densities.
Similarly, one study found no association between population density (per square kilometer population) and COVID-19 cases or mortality rates in 36 world cities.
A study of 913 major U.S. cities and counties found no significant correlation between population density and high rates of COVID-19 infection.
This may be more about behavior than it is about free space.
Image source, Getty Images Image annotated text, since the study found no link between COVID-19 and population density, it may be too early to predict population outflows from major cities.
"We found that people in densely populated areas are more cautious about this threat and are likely to take better precautions," said Shima Hamidi, an assistant professor of American health at Johns Hopkins University.
Her research shows that residents in densely populated areas tend to be more cautious, better at maintaining social distancing, avoiding crowded places and staying at home.
Relatively low infection rates seem to confirm this in numerous densely populated metropolises such as Singapore, Hong Kong, Tokyo and Seoul.
While there are other variables involved — such as higher mask wear in Asian countries and the relatively large impact of the coronavirus on minority populations — the study appears to support the hypothesis that population density is not linked to infection rates.
“Population density doesn ’ t matter, what really matters is how to manage density, ” said Sameh Wahba, director of the World Bank ’ s Global Practice for Cities, Disaster Risk Management, Resilience and Land.
Waba cites the examples of Manhattan and Mumbai, two cities with the same population density.
However, Manhattan is four times the size of Mumbai, so on the same area of land, Mumbai has one floor, and Manhattan has four floors.
“In Mumbai, they have only a quarter of the space in Manhattan for everyone to isolate themselves, ” says Waba.
“This makes the people of Mumbai living in a more crowded environment, although their population density is the same, but because of the low building density and the inability to suppress the spread of disease, the effect is very different. ”
The key, Waba explains, is how to turn an overcrowded city into a “habitable density. ”
Deepti Adlakha, assistant professor of environmental planning at Queen's University, Belfast, said: "Based on what we know about the spread of the virus, the risk of infection is higher in crowded indoor... bars, meat processing plants, industrial warehouses, nursing homes, prisons and cruise ships, not cities."
Image source, Getty Images Image annotated text, emergency response times tend to be much shorter in urban areas, and urban areas also tend to have better medical conditions.
In fact, population density is good for us, with many amazing benefits for health and the environment.
One study found that people living in more compact, dense areas lived about two and a half years longer than those living in more cluttered areas.
Hong Kong is one of the most densely populated cities in the world, with the longest life expectancy in the world.
Mostly because of lifestyle.
“People living in densely populated areas are much more likely to engage in physical activity, ” Hamidi said.“ The density allows us to choose physical activity: walking, biking, running, less likely to drive. ”
Chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease – all of which are associated with living in a wider area. ”
densely populated cities often provide health care, more advanced facilities, more specialized services, and faster first aid.
In fact, one study found that sprawling areas are three times more likely to have a fatal car accident than densely populated areas.
People in densely populated areas are also significantly less likely to be obese.
A study by Oxford University and the University of Hong Kong showed that in 22 cities in the UK, people living in densely populated areas were less obese and exercised more than those living in the suburbs.
This again boils down to more exercise and less reliance on cars.
Chris Webster, Professor of Urban Planning and Development Economics at the University of Hong Kong, said: “The higher the population density, the more public transport is developed, and public transport always needs to be accompanied by walking. ”
It is not only good for physical health.
According to Layla McCay, director of the Center for Urban Design and Mental Health, “A more walkable and vibrant street life can provide opportunities for positive social interaction and reduce feelings of isolation. ”
“The advantages of cities are very clear in terms of job opportunities, amenities, liveability, culture and diversity, ” says Waba, who calls himself a urbanist.
For Hamidi, who is also a city enthusiast, moving to a neighborhood near Baltimore means the opportunity to walk, cycle or run, as well as using public transportation, with supermarkets, restaurants or cafes within five minutes of walking.
However, liveable cities that support and promote these benefits can only be achieved through good planning and excellent infrastructure and public space construction.
Otherwise, the ills of urbanization – congestion, pollution, crime, and violence – may grow rapidly.
Image source, Getty Images Images Image annotated with text, Manhattan has four times the area of buildings on each piece of land than Mumbai, and the Indian city is even more crowded.
“If local governments are completely unable to plan and provide services, cities expand in an irregular way – people start crowding in slums, which creates unplanned urbanization, ” says Waba.“ If you are living in an environment that lacks proper housing conditions, lacks proper infrastructure, lacks planning, lacks public space and facilities, then population density is detrimental to a person ’ s quality of life and health in the city. ” There is also an important impact.
People with lower incomes have less access to healthy food, public and private facilities, lack paid sick leave or health insurance, and have a higher prevalence of chronic diseases.
Families with lower incomes are also more likely to live too small and individuals are more susceptible to infectious diseases such as COVID-19.
Some studies report that COVID-19 death rates in poor communities are more than twice as high as in the wealthiest areas.
In a crowded environment with a lack of personal space, it is almost impossible to comply with social distancing.
In Singapore, the overall incidence of COVID-19 is low, but migrant hostels with a capacity of 20 people per room are the worst affected areas.
Another prominent disadvantage of living in densely populated areas is housing affordability.
“Taxes, property taxes and monthly rents tend to be higher in cities, and housing units tend to be smaller than in suburbs, ” says Hamidi.“ So, these are some of the considerations that get people moving to cities. ”
Despite being hit by COVID-19 and political turmoil, Eva Li, a Hong Konger who works in the financial sector, said she had no plans to leave Hong Kong.
“This is my home, ” she said.
“Almost everything I need is on my doorstep.
I hate living in a place where I have to drive to buy things. "
In fact, Li Ruhua even hopes that the epidemic may bring some positive changes.
“In areas such as Sham Shui Po in Hong Kong, people live in subdivided units and even caged homes, ” she said.“ I hope people will pay more attention to areas that are densely populated and at greater risk of infection. ”
There is too much inequality.
I think it ’ s more serious than ever, and those lagging places in our cities need more attention, which is an urgent public health need.
The pros and cons aside, it ’ s safe to say that this global pandemic has caused many people to rethink the state of their lives.
So what does this mean for the future of the city?
“The attractiveness of cities is unlikely to be significantly lost, ” Webster said.“ Cities, economic development, welfare and socioculture are inextricably linked.
People come together to prosper … The more people who live in a town or city, the higher and better the quality of culture, leisure, health care, and other services and experiences.
Small town life is the opposite, and there are people who like it for a reason. ”

Suicide rate increased by 16% during Japan ’ s second coronavirus outbreak
|
Japan's Tokyo Metropolitan Health and Longevity Medical Center and other teams on Friday (January 15) published in the British scientific journal, the results of a survey of the spread of the coronavirus epidemic in Japan from February to October last year found that the suicide rate during the "first wave" of the epidemic in June decreased by 14% compared with the same period last year, but the "second wave" from July to October increased by 16%.
According to Kyodo News, the team analyzed the decrease during the first wave, saying that not only did government subsidies, labor and commuting time shorten the mental burden, but also the school suspension reduced the burden on children.
In March and April of last year, the suicide rate among adults decreased significantly.
The decrease was 27% for women and 21% for men.
On the other hand, during the second wave, the suicide rate for women increased by 37 per cent, five times that of men; for children under the age of 20, it rose by 49 per cent.
The team believes that one of the reasons is the increased time spent at home, which creates an excessive burden on mothers, noting that "appropriate measures should be taken according to the situation of the population such as gender and age."

Is it better to live at home than to be a doctor?
|
Two eyelids, one chin, one hand, just one morning, Professor Dennis vom Heimburg has done so many operations.
The Frankfurt medical beauty expert has been practicing medicine for 28 years, giving treatment to about 1,000 people every year.
Heimberg clearly doesn ’ t like the term “big winner ” in the new crown, but the truth is there: the demand for medical beauty has increased significantly since the crisis began.
He said that at present, more people in the workplace to do medical aesthetics, although some elderly people over the age of 65 have given up medical aesthetics because of concerns about infection, but the number of new people is much higher than this part of the decline.
For some time, the medical beauty expert has often heard people say similar words: "I hope to go out in a glorious way after the ban is over", "Now I can't go on vacation, this part of the money is saved just to do medical beauty".
As early as 2019, plastic surgery for the chest and nose and minimally invasive treatments injected with Botox or hyaluronic acid in Germany have increased by nearly 8% to 83,000 cases. In 2020, the number exceeded 100,000.
At the same time, it should not be forgotten that in 2018 and 2019 in Düsseldorf, two women paid the price of their lives for the dream of “Brazilian buttocks ”.
The doctor who performed hip surgery on the two women, who died of personal injury due to negligence, was also banned from practicing again.
The image of the industry has also suffered as a result.
One of the problems is that plastic surgeons in Germany are not specifically listed as a profession, and in theory, oral surgeons can also perform breast augmentation surgery.
These surgeries should have been performed by experienced plastic surgeons and cosmetic surgeons who have undergone special training for many years and who have received training every year.
The slogan of masks and specialists at Heimburg and Moser Hospital is “Beauty for Life ”.
The hospital has beauty operations in Vienna, Augsburg and Bonn.
Kristian Limbach, head of its Bonn clinic, said: “Regular cosmetic surgery has a high reputation.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, we noticed an increase in people ’ s desire to be beautiful and better. ”
Lindbach said, it can also be said that this is blamed on the mask.
Because of the mask, most of the face is blocked, so people pay more attention to this part of the eye, so it will be more obvious if this part is not perfect.
In addition, people see themselves more often in video conferencing.
The doctor said that there are often people who want to make the eyes firmer and younger.
In addition, another effect brought by the mask is that the mask can cover the phenomenon of swelling and redness after surgery, so the number of people who want to perform medical and aesthetic surgery on the lips has also increased.
In addition, when working from home is encouraged and interpersonal contact is restricted, it is not a big problem to see people for days or even weeks after surgery.
This is especially attractive to women.
According to the statistics of the relevant industry association VDÄPC, the proportion of women in the selection of medical beauty is as high as 90%.
However, Dr. Lindbach said that there are people from all walks of life who come to him for medical treatment, ranging from workers who have saved up for many years to university professors; celebrities who can be seen on TV, and sex workers who work in the red light district, "there have been Catholic priests and Protestant priests coming to us."
He said that people want to make moderate and careful adjustments to their appearance and to become young.
Dr. Lindbach also said that the COVID-19 epidemic may accelerate the process in the field of medical aesthetics in Germany: let people talk more openly about medical aesthetics in Germany, as in Asia, the United States and other places, instead of treating medical aesthetics as a taboo, as has long been the case.

The "International Community" Epidemic Leaves Japanese Pain and Stroke Up 16% in the Second Half of 2020 - Finance
|
The Japanese investigation found that in the first wave of the epidemic, the government was desperate to save the economy. At that time, many people in difficulty were not on the road to life because of the temporary cash flow.
However, in late 2020, when the second wave of the epidemic hit, the risk of birth increased significantly, especially for women and children.
According to the analysis of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and the Institute of Geriatric Medicine of the City of Tokyo, the annual rate of birth increased by 16% from July to October 2020, which is a strong contrast to the 14% decrease from February to June of the same year.
According to the report, the epidemic has impacted normal social norms and seriously affected the mental health of children, adolescents and women.
The study also found that in the first half of 2020, due to factors such as subsidies from the Japanese government, reduced working hours and school closures, the incidence of accidents decreased.
Why Japan ’ s birth rate increased in the second half of 2020, due to the impact of the epidemic, many female-dominated jobs have been hit, the work volume of working mothers has increased, and the increasing number of domestic violence cases has led to a 37% increase in the suicide rate of these Japanese women, especially domestic women, which is five times the rate of male birth rate.
For some children, the school is closed due to the epidemic, resulting in poor adaptation, so they can not open themselves at a time, resulting in a 49% rise in the rate of miscarriage.
A state of emergency is being implemented in Japan ’ s major metropolises and is not expected to end until February 7.
Some Japanese people are worried about the future, because jobs may not be secure and they will lose their financial resources.
Japanese officials also said that while curbing the spread of the epidemic, while not hurting the economy, this balance of power is sometimes really difficult to grasp.

Japanese suicide toll rises for first time in 10 years – Radio France Internationale
|
TOKYO (AFP) - The Japanese government's progress in curbing the high suicide rate for years has been reversed by the epidemic.
The number of suicides in Japan last year was higher than the previous year, the first in 10 years.
Japan ’ s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare said today that according to preliminary data, 20,919 people died by suicide in 2020, an increase of 3.7% over the previous year.
In the same period, 3,460 people died from COVID-19.
This means that for the first time in more than a decade, the number of suicides has increased year on year, with particularly high rates among women and children.
Japan has long had the highest suicide rate among the Group of Seven, but South Korea is even higher in Asia.
The Japanese government has made continuous efforts in recent years to provide better help to people with mental health needs.
Compared to some other countries, Japan ’ s epidemic is relatively mild, so it does not have to adopt strict lockdown measures like other countries. Suicide rates fell in the first half of 2020, raising hopes that the impact of the epidemic may be limited.
But the number of suicides began to rise in July after the nationwide emergency was lifted in May.
According to experts, tracking data shows that suicides usually fall in the first phase of crises, such as conflict and natural disasters, before rising sharply.
Luko Ueda, an associate professor of political economy at Waseda University in Tokyo who studies suicide in Japan, said that the increase in the number of suicides in Japan is a big deal, and she believes it is a major turning point.
She told AFP that COVID-19 was definitely an important factor, warning: “We cannot deny the possibility that the numbers will rise again this year. ” © 2021 AFP

She committed suicide in isolation at home, "thanking her for death": all my fault
|
▲ A woman in Japan committed suicide during isolation after she blamed herself for spreading COVID-19 to others.
(Photo / from the free gallery Pixabay) reporter Pei Yi Wang / Compilation Because of the serious epidemic in Japan, if the confirmed case is not serious, it must be quarantined at home or in a quarantine hotel.
In Tokyo, a 30-year-old asymptomatic patient was found dead in his home after blaming himself for spreading the virus to the people next to him.
It is reported that the deceased also left a note and wrote, "It is my fault that will cause trouble to the people next to me."
“I think it ’ s about giving thanks to death.
According to the Japan Broadcasting Association, a 30-year-old woman living in Tokyo was quarantined at home for COVID-19, but was found dead in the house this month.
The police found a note at the scene that was probably left by the deceased, which said, "It is all my fault, it will cause trouble to the people around me, I am really sorry."
It is learned that the deceased was a asymptomatic confirmed case, but because she did not pay attention for a while, resulting in the infection of the people around her, which caused her to feel very guilty and her heart was full of suffering, and she would choose to commit suicide during the isolation period.
At present, relevant institutions are investigating this matter, and the suicide of patients due to excessive psychological pressure during isolation has also caused social concern.
Experts pointed out that "some of the confirmed cases of home isolation have great mental stress, so they need more attention from the relevant units."
In response, Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike said, "This incident is very regrettable.
I deeply feel the importance of caring for the mental health of people affected by the epidemic in addition to getting them back to health as soon as possible.
We will do our best to prevent similar incidents from happening again and discuss solutions. ”

Headlines Revealed: Wearing a Face Mask During the Epidemic Holiday Korean Plastic Surgery Hospital Results Outbreak - Politics
|
As the time for vaccination approaches in South Korea, there may not be much left of the epidemic holiday for the face, and some even call it the “last chance for beauty. ” (Photo / Reuters) The COVID-19 pandemic is rapidly changing the world in ways that people can ’ t imagine, with many industries failing or collapsing under the pandemic, and many industries thriving.
And there are more industries that rise and fall beyond people's expectations, especially South Korea's plastic surgery industry, which once flourished, has once again emerged, becoming a unique hot industry in the epidemic.
The shadow of the situation is still enveloping the world, and many countries are facing the second wave or even the third wave of the epidemic.
And because the epidemic has lasted nearly a year, many industries are using more and more ways of working from home, and once it is necessary to go out and also need to wear a mask all the way, some people who have wanted to plastic but have no right time to seize this time to cover their faces, and make some long-desired detailed adjustments to their appearance.
According to the "Korean Daily" reported that this year, the world's countries affected by the epidemic, the number of people working at home has increased, and the opportunity to go abroad has been greatly reduced, and many industries have been affected, but South Korea's plastic surgery and dentistry have unexpectedly exploded.
Due to the epidemic, it is difficult to travel abroad, and the mainland tourists who used to be a large source of tourists in the Korean plastic industry have dropped to freezing point, but the number of Korean domestic customers has increased significantly.
Search keywords on Korean Internet forums to focus on the most popular topics of plastic surgery, such as "cold weather and home want plastic surgery", "home work want to consult face liposuction surgery" and other articles.
In South Korea, young people usually choose to have plastic surgery after the university entrance exam, or consecutive holidays, and now the COVID-19 epidemic has broken this norm.
Since the spread of the epidemic last year, many people who want to take the opportunity to have a cosmetic surgery have found that the longer the people who book a cosmetic consultation, the longer the time to schedule an operation, the faster the number of people who want to have plastic surgery while they see each other less during the epidemic.
The epidemic caused the plastic surgery industry to surge in the Hundred Industry Depression, which surprised many people.
In addition to cosmetic surgery, there are also many people who have taken the opportunity to undergo dental surgery during the epidemic.
Korean media reported that because you wear a mask, it is less likely to be found that you are undergoing orthodontics.
Many people still have to seize the time after plastic surgery, intending to take this opportunity to completely and completely remove all the dissatisfied parts of their face.
At first, customers usually start consulting on five facial items that are covered by masks, such as nose and lips, but in the end, many people choose to do multiple items together or in stages.
They are interested in the plastic surgery of all parts of the face, except for the parts covered by the mask, such as the nose and lips, and the parts of the eyes, eyebrows and forehead that are particularly aesthetically pleasing after wearing the mask become more important, and of course, also.
A large number of market demand is also reflected in the industry's output value, and the market output of the Korean plastic surgery industry reached a new high in 2020.
According to the report of the Korea Asian Financial Research Institute released last month, "The Change of Consumption Patterns brought by the Coronavirus Outbreak II", from January to October last year, the revenue of plastic surgery in South Korea increased by 10% year-on-year.
According to Gangnam Unni, Korea ’ s largest online plastic surgery platform, the scale of the plastic surgery industry in Korea reached US $10.7 billion in 2020, an increase of 9.2% over 2019, and is expected to grow to about US $11.8 billion this year.
Senior practitioners of plastic surgery in South Korea believe that this period of plastic surgery mania is largely due to a kind of revenge consumption, people through plastic surgery to express their emotions that are suppressed by the coronavirus.
In addition to shaping the shape, you can also use this to adjust the mood.
As a result, many people are willing to spend all of the relief money granted by the Government on plastic surgery.
According to statistics, about 10.6% of the flow of government relief funds is spent on plastic surgery, second only to supermarkets and restaurants.
Under the impact of the third wave of the epidemic, the heat of the plastic surgery industry in South Korea has not decreased.
South Korea's "news1" website reported that not only did the number of Koreans who went to plastic surgery hospitals increase sharply during the epidemic, but now as the time for vaccination approaches, there may be little left for the epidemic holiday on the face, and some even referred to the time before the epidemic, which may be the only time left, as "the last chance for beauty."

Japanese suicide toll rises for first time in 10 years – Radio France Internationale
|
(Agence France-Presse, Tokyo 22) The Japanese government's progress in curbing the high suicide rate for years has been reversed by the epidemic.
The number of suicides in Japan last year was higher than in the previous year, the first in 10 years.
Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare said today that according to preliminary data, 20,919 people died by suicide in 2020, an increase of 3.7% over the previous year.
During the same period, 3,460 people died from COVID-19.
This means that for the first time in more than a decade, there has been an annual increase in the number of suicides, especially among women and children.
Japan has long had the highest suicide rate in the Group of Seven, but South Korea is even higher in Asia.
In recent years, the Japanese government has made continuous efforts to provide better help to people in need of mental health.
Compared to some other countries, Japan has a relatively mild epidemic, so it does not have to adopt strict lockdown measures like other countries. Suicide rates fell in the first half of 2020, raising hopes that the impact of the epidemic may be limited.
However, the number of suicides began to rise in July following the lifting of the emergency situation throughout Japan in May.
Experts say tracking data shows that suicides typically fall in the first phase of crises, such as conflict and natural disasters, before rising sharply.
Luko Ueda, an associate professor of political economy at Waseda University in Tokyo who studies suicide in Japan, said that the increase in the number of suicides in Japan is a big deal, and she believes it is a major turning point.
She told AFP that COVID-19 was definitely an important factor, warning: “We cannot deny the possibility that data will rise again this year. ” © 2021 AFP

Suicides in Japan increased in 2020 compared to previous year
|
(Morning News) According to the rapid report data released by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare on the 22nd, the number of suicides in Japan reached 20,919 in 2020, an increase of 750 over 2019.
Japanese media said that due to the impact of the coronavirus epidemic, Japan's economic situation has deteriorated and the family environment has changed, which may be the reason for the rise in the number of suicides in Japan.
Statistics show that among the suicide victims, 13,943 were men, down 135 from the previous year, while among women, 6,976 were suicides, up 885 from the previous year.
In addition, the number of suicides among schoolchildren in Japan has increased significantly.
Statistics from the Japan Police Agency show that as of the end of November 2020, a total of 440 primary and secondary school students in Japan committed suicide that year, a record high.

Japan's suicide rate falls in 10 years due to epidemic - 20210123 - International
|
Experts: Japan, which has long ranked first among the seven major industrial countries in terms of gender gap suicide rate, reported 20,919 suicides last year, an increase of 3.7% (750) over the previous year. It is the first time since 2009 that the number of suicides has risen since the financial tsunami, of which more than 13,000 were men, 135 fewer than the previous year, and more than 6,900 were women, an increase of 885. Over the past five years, local consultation counters have frequently received complaints from women about "being unemployed due to the epidemic and being reprimanded by their families". The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare pointed out that the epidemic has exacerbated women's worries about work, childcare, care and domestic violence.
Some experts believe that many women are employed on temporary employment contracts, especially in industries such as tourism and hotels that have been hit hard by the epidemic, and the problem reflects the gender gap in Japan.
A survey last month by the Japan Broadcasting Association (NHK) also showed that 26% of women said they had faced employment problems such as layoffs since April, compared with 19% of men. Another survey showed that 28% of women said they had spent more time doing housework during the epidemic, compared with 19% of men.
Experts: It is difficult to meet in the face of the epidemic to talk about the trend of suicide among schoolchildren. From January to November last year, 440 primary and secondary students committed suicide, the highest in the first 11 months.
A counselor at the Tokyo Suicide Prevention Center told AFP that the students were anxious about their future. “They didn ’ t know what to do, and in the past they could talk to friends to relieve the pressure, but now they can ’ t even go to karaoke. ”
A 30-year-old woman who was convalescing at home after being infected with the epidemic in Tokyo was found dead at her home this month, inferring from the situation at the scene that she committed suicide, NHK quoted a news report.
There was a note at the scene that said, "Because of my relationship to bring trouble to everyone", she was reported to have no symptoms, but said that she was worried about spreading the infection to people around her.
Michiko Ueda, an associate professor at Waseda University and an expert on suicide, said that many patients are not only worried about their personal health, but also worried about problems such as contagious family members and social dissent.

The world ’ s first private space travel will set sail 2 The rich will each spend 1.58 billion to buy a ticket - Finance
|
The dream of human space travel is about to take an important step, Houston startup Axiom Space announced that two billionaires will participate in the AX-1 mission scheduled to be carried out by January next year, and will stay on the International Space Station for eight days after leaving Earth, one of them will also serve as a pilot and the vehicle is SpaceX's Crew Dragon spacecraft.
This is the world ’ s first private space trip, and tickets aren ’ t cheap, costing $55 million each.
SpaceX, the sole startup of Elon Musk, co-founder and CEO of Tesla, has spent more time and energy at the company in the past six months than Tesla, which is already on orbit. Crew Dragon will be launched on a Falcon 9 rocket, which has successfully sent two astronauts to NASA. Space. The AX-1 mission was originally scheduled for October this year, but was delayed for technical reasons.
The two people who bought the tickets with huge sums of money were US real estate investor Larry Connor, Canadian businessman Mark Pathy, accompanied by Israeli former fighter pilot Eytan Stibbe, and former NASA American astronaut Michael López-Alegría. Commander, Connor will be the first private space flight pilot.
López Alegría, who had four space missions at NASA, said: “This is truly groundbreaking.
No space mission has ever had an entire crew of non-professional astronauts.
I think the success and safety of the AX-1 mission is very important, and we will open the way for a lot of things and developments after that, ” he said. He said that around the fall this year, he will start to take the other three people for about 15 weeks of training, including physical fitness and ship operation, and ensure that the three non-professional people can spend “safe and productive ” time.
Connor and Patsy have both visited the interior of the Crew Dragon and witnessed the initial launch.
Connor said he was not worried about the risk of a failed launch: “Crew Dragon is excellent in quality and professionalism, and NASA and SpaceX have excellent flight records.
We feel confident and comfortable, able to complete the task and come back safely. ”
However, this private space trip is not exactly a holiday, with each research mission except for the flight commander. Conner works with two clinics, Patsy, who comes from a wealthy family, and with Canadian Aerospace, Montreal Children ’ s Hospital, and Stibe represents Israel Aerospace and a foundation.
In addition to expensive air tickets, NASA will charge an additional US $35,000 (about 100.3 million Taiwan dollars) per person to compensate for the cost of food and data services.
Such spending makes private space travel unlikely to become an emerging industry in the short term.
López-Allegría said: “We expect fees to start falling and at some point we can make it available to the general public. ”
It will take a while, but getting there will always start somewhere.
Connor predicted that universal access could take 25 years or more, but it will happen: “Would it be rare for humans to go into space?
So someone has to explore and set standards. ” (China Times News Network)

Grassland and cement are not zero-sum opposites. How can we design an ecological park that is closer to the needs of users?
|
Text: Round Face Cat, punkelephant | Photo: Christine Lee | Editor: YuLi Recently, there was a row of disputes in Taipei City over the renovation of two public spaces, including green space and Sung Rong Park, and advocacy groups opposed to the reconstruction of the park, put forward a demand for "grassland, not park cement", opposing the reduction of green land area as well as the increase of facilities, including pavilions and pavilions. Playground, etc.
Indeed, from the book, the per capita green area of Taipei City is frighteningly low (Editor's note: The green area of per capita green space includes parks, green areas, children's playgrounds, squares and riverside parks.
The per capita green area of Taipei City is 5.3 square meters, which is far lower than the WHO recommended per capita green area of 9 square meters.
However, is returning public spaces to lawns the only way to increase urban green areas and revitalize the city?
Is it necessary to oppose the use of green space and the needs of many people in the park? How can the "ecological" park environment be as close to the needs of users as possible through landscape design?
From the perspective of the park's heavy users and ecological workers, this article tries to support some space for interaction.
Photo Credit: Christine Lee Green land area per capita in Taipei is much lower than the per capita green land area recommended by the WHO.
What is the existing ecology of urban grasslands and how can we increase the ecological diversity in cities?
In the grassland environment of subtropical cities, there are usually some common bird activities, such as sparrows, octopus, magpie, pigeon, etc.
If there are trees in the vicinity, it will also appear, such as the white-headed man, the green eye, the red-billed black bulbul, the Taiwan blue magpie, and the black-crowned heron.
If there is water, swallows will also come out to participate in the foot.
And on the ground, are locusts, cockroaches, rats, earthworms and other insects or animals.
These animals are almost the most suitable group to survive in the man-made urban environment, and they are accustomed to various disturbances in the urban environment.
In other words, the worst urban ecology is like this. No matter how it is rebuilt, some of the cement facilities, some of the play equipment, these animals will not be reduced.
Therefore, in another direction, we can think about maybe, in addition to grass, what kind of ecological landscape design can increase ecological richness better than the current situation?
Photo Credit: Christine Lee uses multi-layered planting to create diverse habitats.
How to solve the problem of grassland mosquitoes? The creation of multiple habitats attracts the natural enemies of mosquitoes to the "park" as a public space, which is a product of the transplantation of Western culture, and it is not difficult to understand the public's imagination of urban green space, mostly from urban parks in Western countries in temperate climates.
However, in Taiwan, where the subtropical and tropical borders are located, how is the feeling of resting on the grass different from that of a park in a temperate climate?
Take Daan Forest Park as an example, the most criticized is the mosquito.
The wet tropical summer rainfall is slow to evaporate, and after the rain, the grassland is full of stagnant water.
The stagnant grassland and fallen leaves become a hotbed for mosquito growth. At the same time, the blue-green algae in the puddles are the food of the small black mosquito, and also become a perfect ecological habitat for the small black mosquito.
Therefore, the management unit of Daan Forest Park has invested a lot of time and money in mosquito prevention.
The biggest problem with subtropical, tropical artificial planting environment, and often lack of consideration in landscape design, is the ubiquitous flies and mosquitoes.
It is a natural pity that such parks can only be viewed from afar and cannot be obscene.
If you want to use natural ecological methods to kill mosquitoes, you have to create an environment in which mosquitoes can live, such as frogs, dragonflies, swallows, bats, and so on.
Trees and meadows alone cannot create a hostile environment.
No wonder the entrance of Tai ’ an Forest Park is lined with mosquito repellent and has to spend a lot of maintenance and management money to remove cyanobacteria and remove fallen leaves.
When the grass space is suitable for children's play, is the diversity of needs enough to be satisfied?
Whether at home or abroad, it is common to discuss the occasion of children's play space in the contemporary urban environment, there is always a group of people's position to say nothing more than: "I did not have a playground when I was a child, in urban alleys and country bends to play mostly happy!"
Here, Lia Kartsen, a geographer specializing in urban children ’ s environments, said that in the past, urban environments were not as crowded as today ’ s, and children were able to play in spaces such as roads and sidewalks without being hit by traffic accidents.
However, today ’ s cities (at least in Taiwan ’ s metropolitan areas) are no longer suitable for the above situation.
As for how important play is to children ’ s development, there is not much to say here (Extended reading: creating a fun children ’ s game city – must first define “child-friendly ”), in the limited urban green space, if only planning grass space, can meet the needs of diversified play?
From the perspective of the needs of today ’ s children, climbing, speed, vestibular and tactile (terminal nerve) stimulation, if you can increase richness through the assistance of play equipment, are all important factors in the development of the next generation of limbs and challenging development.
In order to drive children to exercise on flat grass, in addition to considering the appropriateness of the climate (hot summer, running on unshaded grass is prone to heat stroke), group games such as balls and ghost catching are more likely to choose.
However, whether the group game will squeeze into the space of other users (sun-drenched elderly, younger children) is also a question that the design can and needs to face.
Photo Credit: Christine Lee designed the natural playground to make children ’ s games not limited to toys or grass.
If the children's play space can be designed in a way that echoes the natural environment, the natural playground can make the children's play behavior and space not limited to toys or grass, which should be the best solution for both.
Through the design, we can add many different natural elements, such as climbing trees, or through the terrain and trees, to create a very popular swing facility for children.
Take climbing a tree as an example, climbing a tree for limbs and brain movement, first think how to grasp the hand, how to step on the foot, and then use the strength of the upper arm to support the body.
The child who can climb the tree has a bit more confidence and pride.
When it comes to the choice of tree species, there are many trees that are suitable for climbing and the environment of urban parks, such as hibiscus, banyan, camphor, etc.
However, it is necessary to pay attention to the maintenance management that these large trees cannot be repaired like matchsticks, and the original branches must be really left behind, like a large tree in the forest, so that children can climb the tree.
In addition to grass, if you add different planting and landscape design, it will make children's games more diversified and rich.
Co-designed with nature, but also seen different users visiting the park, the majority of the users are the elderly and the children and parents who wander in the children's playground.
The habit of the elderly is to gather in the shade to rest, or exercise in the open space with shade in the morning, such as tree shade or pavilion.
In rainy days, the elderly still need to go outside, and the pavilion is a good place to shelter from the wind and rain and activities.
Therefore, the lack of shaded grass space, in the humid, hot and rainy climate, the use of time is relatively limited.
Only the barrier-free walkways surrounding the green space are paved, depriving the elderly with mobility difficulties and the disabled who urgently need inclusive design of the opportunity to get closer to the urban green space.
A green grass, in the photo seems free and fair use, but inadvertently excluded those who can not feel free to run and lie in the grass.
Photo Credit: Christine Lee calls for the grassland park, which advocates the decontamination, but also removes the children ’ s playground and pavilion, which is equivalent to directly excluding the park ’ s use of the first two major groups of important space.
We hope that our landscape architecture design can accept professional challenges, apply the principle of “Design with nature ” to the context of contemporary urban environment and different use needs, and develop green space design suitable for Taiwan ’ s local climate environment and community use.
May we deserve a better park environment in terms of use and ecology.

How to design a "natural play space" in the city, so that outdoor play can become a free place for children?
|
Christine Lee: Have you ever felt that the upbringing of children, the way of caring for the elderly and children, and the behavioral interactions between people have been profoundly affected by the overall social environment and urban space planning and design?
The initiative of the Alliance for Action on Homecoming Parks has repeatedly stressed that what we should discuss is not the success or failure of different parenting or care work, because urban planning and landscape design for the overall environment lack planning and design to support parents or care workers, and indirectly or directly limit the living needs of children and young people.
The basic life needs of children and young people, let me use a simple diagram (Figure 1) to express, the society's most voiceless users - that is, children and young people - in the end what they need most, in order to be accompanied by a good system in Taiwan's urban environment, and grow up well: A good companion system.
Children deprived of play due to the COVID-19 pandemic The period of home isolation should be the time when everyone feels the most: suburbs, small towns or rural areas, maybe next door is a farmland canal, or at least there is a backyard or balcony to breathe.
However, the urban core of densely populated housing, when isolated from home, can only move indoors in a few square meters, and may not even have a park within walking distance.
As COVID-19 continues to spread, Tokyo Play in Japan is the first advocacy group to issue a statement warning people that during COVID-19, isolation measures to avoid adult-thinking can harm children ’ s physical and mental development, such as: (1) avoiding long-term 3C abuse; (2) active activities to maintain children ’ s mental, physical and mental health; and (3) families that do not need to be isolated should look for fewer people. Play with the kids.
Further calls for children under one year old to play multiple forms of body games several times a day; and children over one year old, at least three hours of play and exercise of various intensities, and take children to the neighborhood, nature, streams and other outdoor environment, stay for a period of time, absorb fresh air, so that the physical and mental health of children and adults can be protected to the causal relationship between nature and health. There are 21 potential causal relationships between “nature ” and“ health. ”
Walking in nature, green space play, distance from the park, residential green space, park quality, etc., will increase the common soil of Mycobacterium, fentosine, negative ions, natural scenery and sound, environmental and ecological diversity, but also reduce air pollution, heat and violence, affecting DHEA steroid hormones, protein secreted by fat cells, maintain normal blood sugar, let people relax, Resilience, attention reorganization, improved immune function, healthy sleep and social connections, and a decline in various conditions such as: acute cystitis, attention deficit hyperactivity, irritability, cancer, cardiovascular disease, depression, diabetes, mumps, migraines, musculoskeletal diseases, respiratory diseases, dizziness, upper respiratory tract infections, allergies, asthma and atopic dermatitis (Figure 2).
Photo Credit: Ming Kuo Research Report Figure 2: 21 potential causal relationships between “nature ” and“ health. ”
A few years ago, Ming Kuo said in an interview with Science Daily: “Nature is more like a complex vitamin that provides all the nutrients humans need.
The core of these 21 causal relationships ultimately points to the “improvement of the human immune system ”, which means that walking in nature, playing in green spaces, proximity to parks, residential green spaces, and the quality of parks all have a profound impact on our physical and mental health, especially the more vulnerable children in the ecosystem.
No matter what happens in the world, COVID-19 or more natural or man-made diseases in the future, children need games and sports to promote their growth.
As adults, what can we do?
Understanding the plight of children who have lost nature and play Richard Love proposed the phenomenon of Nature-Deficit Disorder as early as 2005; the National Trust recommends that every child should play in the outdoor nature before the age of 11 and 3 ⁄ 4 (Figure 3) shows 50 activities. Physical and mental problems, including obesity, feeling sluggish, lack of concentration, excessive stress, mania, poor academic performance and low creativity, also want to naturally not respect, cherish and maintain the sustainability of the natural environment.
National Trust Figure 3: 50 activities that children should play outdoors in nature before they are 11 and 3 ⁄ 4 years old.
However, even in a country like Taiwan that can reach the sea or mountains within a few hours, how can families or institutions without resources bring their children to nature such as mountains, wild streams or the sea, so that children and young people who lack outdoor resources can engage in expensive outdoor activities?
In a community of urban spaces, without the support of innovative talent, project and maintenance budgets and professional landscape design within the government, how can we create a natural space that is like daily life, so that children can play games or make friends with neighbors on the way to and from school on foot or after work before dinner?
Calculate, how much does it cost to raise healthy children, take care of happy relatives, and enhance the immune system of everyone?
In order to prevent the next global pandemic, “nature ” must be brought back into urban spaces, and more natural elements should be put back into artificial spaces.
Such planning and design, of course, is to call "natural game space" and excellent "natural game space landscape design talent" appearance.
This is a global disaster, after Canada announced the closure of children ’ s playgrounds due to plastic surfaces left with the COVID-19 virus, and the cancellation of the Canada Blooms!, which is expected to be visited by 150,000 people due to the epidemic, an advocacy landscape consulting company called “Bienenenstock Natural Playground ” has once again moved to the table to call for serious attention.
Originally, the company planned to build a “giant nature playground ” in the outdoor venue of Huabo, installing more than 2,000 tons of natural materials, including 500 cubic meters of sand pit, and installing polished tree piles with improved safety to give children who love to climb more interesting challenges.
On the trial day before the opening ceremony, sand, bark, wood chips and soil covered the hands and feet of the test child, and the child's face was full of a bright smile.
Bunkers, red oak slides, chalk graffiti boards and hidden bases are all very popular.
However, the hydraulic engineering game makes the children do not want to play in other areas, and some small hands pull the lever, and some pull the handle to pour water from the tap into the wooden groove, and then into the sand pit or bucket (Figure 4).
The author provides Figure 4: Children's play space in Berlin Zoo, Germany, with sand, magic hide and play space with wood materials.
Unfortunately, the relationship with Flower Expo was canceled due to the epidemic, and these beautiful scenes that occurred during the trial could not be seen again.
Adam, head of the landscape consulting firm, said that the original idea of all of this design came from his childhood - he was a child in the 1960s, his mother kicked him out of the door in the morning until he came home to eat at night, spent all day playing in nature, countless hours in the forest, creek, looking for pollen, whistling with grass, digging and digging in the sand until the other side of the earth. Or climb trees all day.
In a natural environment, playing outdoor games (materials not including plastic, metal and rubber) is a "natural cure / nature therapy" for children, which is the same concept as the historical Shinrin-Yoku (Forest Bathing) in Japan, which advocates spending more time in nature in order to provide the body's protection against various diseases.
However, like forests, mountains, wild streams, and oceans, not all children can go to the large nature theme park every day to explore the experience.
The urban population is getting denser and denser, and children can only get close to nature in the adjacent public space.
The Belgian city of Antwerp, now vigorously promoted is in the school front yard, the school walkway and the pocket park in the city, make a small "Play Valley" (Figure 5), so that urban children can enjoy a piece of nature close to the city, with game elements, basic climbing tree trunks, running into the passage, crossing the net bridge over the pool, using imagination to create a place. Situations to play.
At the same time, these materials are also symbols that welcome children to “Free Play ”, with no standard gameplay and regulations (Figure 6).
Photo 5: Amsterdam, the Netherlands, has also created a “Play Valley ” that simulates nature on a walking trail or a pocket park.
Photo 6: A children's play garden in London, England, with a foundation of climbing irregular tree trunks and a net bridge through the sky.
The design of such a natural play space is closely related to the greening and sustainability of the city.
In Susan G. Soloman ’ s book, The Science of Play, emerging towns and new communities are more capable of implementing greening policy declarations and integrating physical elements of nature.
For example, cities close to the valley and mountains are easier to introduce walkers and bike-friendly facilities, and become a transitional zone for nature and urban bustling cities, so that more than 70% of residents do not have to drive.
This healthy and progressive lifestyle is reinforced by a natural play space, which becomes a “Node ” in the town community, interspersed between different buildings.
In addition, in streets with low traffic due to planning, children often play with dead wood placed on sand or gravel (Figure 7), and these places are usually located not far from the child ’ s home or parent caregiver.
Photo 7: The natural playground in Hamburg, Germany, where children often play in the sand pool and their homes are not far away.
When children play in a natural play space, it is as natural as daily life, because this design and the original landscape elements have long been linked together, but also echo the community's core values of low energy consumption, nature conservation, and scattered walking.
Close to the street, there are bunkers, trees, and large and shaped stones protruding from the walkway.
Some play spaces directly make full use of the natural landscape design, slightly deliberately put sand, stones and tree roots, children will play in the high grass or along the gully along the shallow stream, such a place can also be a place to play after rainwater recycling (see Figure 8).
Helle Nebelong, an inclusive design architect in Denmark, said: “When children play in nature, they are fully, wholeheartedly, and fully exploring and using the environment they encounter and are in, which is the best way for children to actively learn. ”
Figure 8: Make full use of the natural landscape design, slightly deliberately put in sand and stone and placed on the sand or gravel of the dead tree roots.
Looking at the case of the United States, the landscape design company Studio Ludo studied the game space in the United Kingdom and the United States, and from the analysis report found that the natural playground in London compared to the industrial / commercial / artificial playground in the United States, 55% more visitors; children who go to the former play compared to the latter play, 20% more vitality (that is, healthier, better physical fitness). The following five design points of "natural play space": providing children with electricity discharge is very satisfying, and the accompanying person can also have other activities at the same time: between the park and the play space, there is no obvious gap between each other, overlapping and fusion, or the game elements interspersed throughout the park; and the accompanying person can have coffee, activities, and even toilet can be conveniently planned.
Create an affordable, naturalistic play space: for example, large stones, trunks, plants that children can create their own play at a glance, and terrain changes that require little money but are immediately interesting.
Free from the game catalog: designers need to think about the five stars of the game — “grass, sand, crawl, roll, and slide. ”
If you add water and loose material elements, it will be a big plus, not just for the selection of game equipment.
Create a play space where everything can be "played" in the play space, including paving, planting, landscape furniture.
In other words, designers should prioritize “fun ” and“ play value ” before considering “safety ” and“ maintenance ” issues.
Try a design with “risk ”: designers need to think that taking“ risk ” is very beneficial for children.
The best playground is “looks dangerous ”, but in fact, the foundation of safety is to ensure — increasing the child ’ s alertness, responsiveness, and relative safety can be improved — and the design can provide a variety of different levels of play according to the child ’ s“ skill ”, “fitness ” and“ bravery ” (Figure 9).
Photo 9: The "dangerous-looking" Turquoise Bay natural playground at the Elizabeth Olympic Park in London, UK.
From a longer-term perspective, designers should also know that children need to establish a relationship and emotional connection with nature! If children do not experience the beauty of nature through play, they will not love nature; if children do not like nature, they will not want to help the ecological restoration of animals and plants associated with human coexistence.
To love nature and protect nature, children should use "play" to guide.
Just preaching (education), moral kidnapping (environmental plastic reduction) or putting "children and nature" together (think that let the park leave blank, the children themselves will play), for the modern city grew up, from childhood is restricted, has been brainwashed to think that the sand is dirty, water to save or climb trees will fall to death, never know how to play freely for children, nature is strange, harmful and deadly. Do you have “true love ”?
Five years ago, at the beginning of the autumn, the core idea of the Special Parks Movement was to remind government departments and landscape architects to open a window to listen to users in their professional fields, especially the simplest, but most difficult, needs of children.
Five years later, are children well heard, understood and cared for?
As adults, we recall that when we were young, the rich natural resources, endless use of them, everything can be played, all can not be played (Figure 10).
Now that natural resources have been exhausted, playing with sand and water and getting close to nature in the city have become taboo facilities.
Give back to children a good system for natural participation, for children and young children to participate in, for parents or care workers to participate in, so that the natural play space, has long lost the rich natural resources of children enjoy a little "can play" freedom, let them grow up with us healthy, laugh and live, it is really not too much!

4 things to look good before changing into a gorgeous face - Health
|
Under the Covid-19 epidemic, in line with the trend of "population shroud" and not abrupt, many medical institutions have taken advantage of the trend to launch micro-plastic surgery treatments, claiming that they are fast, effective and zero burden.
However, there is a risk of medical treatment, and the controversy caused by microplastic surgery is also heard from time to time. The Pharmaceutical Injury Relief Foundation invited Dr. Colin Kongkai to interview, reminding the public to carefully choose institutions and pay attention to medical communication before the gorgeous transformation to reduce the risk.
● What is microplastic?
Dr. Lin explained that compared to traditional plastic surgery, most of them are performed by anesthesia and surgery. Microplastic surgery uses energy (such as lasers, light waves, sound waves, radio waves, microwaves, etc.), or injection (such as drugs, subcutaneous fillers, autologous fat or growth factors), and even skin surface smearing to achieve the effect.
Plastic surgery or microplastic surgery belong to aesthetic medicine, is to improve the appearance or increase beauty through medical behavior, although 0-99 years old can be medical, but not any ethnic group is suitable for cosmetic medicine. For minors under 18 years old, considering their mental and developmental are not mature, the Ministry of Health and Welfare announced that non-medically necessary or specific surgery is prohibited.
Dr. Lin reminded that when surgery involves the risk of anesthesia, it is necessary to consider whether the physical condition can withstand it, especially for the elderly or people with cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
According to statistics, most cosmetic medicine is carried out in the clinic, Dr. Lin suggested that the appropriate institution can be selected through two aspects.
First of all, cosmetic clinics usually have basic requirements, including disclosure of cosmetic medical services at the entrance of the institution, business license and doctor's license, standardized instructions, consent forms, and the inability of non-medical personnel to carry out business.
Second, in terms of quality, you can refer to the quality certification of cosmetic medicine in clinics promoted by the Ministry of Health and Welfare. The certification verification items include the qualification of the executive doctor, the environmental facilities meet the fire and infection control requirements, the implementation of cosmetic medicine projects meet the legal requirements, privacy maintenance and customer service, anesthesia safety and emergency evacuation mechanisms, fees and consent.
The public can monitor whether the clinic is certified or observe whether the medical institution meets the above requirements.
● Understand the risks and fully communicate the common myths about microplastic surgery, such as thinking that microplastic surgery will not have side effects, new machines must be more effective, etc., Dr. Lin said that no matter whether the machine is new or old or which method may be risky, the effect may also vary from person to person.
In addition, because the beauty or not involves personal subjectivity, different medical views are inevitable.
When people visit the doctor, they should clearly express their expectations, and doctors often use a variety of methods, including real cases, pictures, animation simulations or models before and after surgery to explain and discuss with the subject, and bring each other closer to understanding through medical communication.
● The result is not as expected What to do when there is discomfort and pain in the body during or after the operation may be a warning sign, especially abnormal conditions such as bleeding, postoperative swelling or allergies, should be reported to the medical personnel immediately at the scene.
If adverse outcomes or effects do not meet expectations, the best course of action is to seek appropriate treatment from the original physician and communicate improvements.
In case there is no way to reach a consensus or dispute, you can apply to the Health Bureau where the medical institution is located for transfer.
The effect of medical and aesthetic surgery may vary from person to person. It is recommended that the public ask in advance how the treatment is performed, the expected effect, possible risks or side effects.
(Photo / provided by the Drug Harm Relief Foundation) The Drug Harm Relief Foundation reminds that cosmetic medicine is still a medical practice in fact, and the public should properly recognize the existence of risks, be careful and fully communicate with doctors, so as not to let the pursuit of beauty leave regret.

Stop saying that you are just a friend, "5 acts" determine that you have been mentally derailed | ET Fashion

▲ According to research, spiritual infidelity is more difficult to repair the relationship than physical infidelity. (Figure / Unsplash, the same below) Editor / Lily recently in the entertainment circle many incidents of infidelity are noisy, when the spouse proposes to violate the rights of the spouse, it is not necessarily rape in the bed, more likely to feel that the other half of the heart is no longer around.
Psychology Today defines infidelity as an intimate relationship, replacing the position of the original partner, and even affecting the relationship of the original partner.
Cheating is a negative word, whether in love or marriage, when there is a fixed partner, you can not give up, the original in him can not ask, and then seek out, do not solve the original problem, and create a new chaos.
Many people will ask, can you tolerate physical or mental infidelity? Physical infidelity is easier to define if it only involves physical needs, and it is easier to be found by the other half than mental infidelity, because people can not use it both at once, when your focus, heart and love are divided into others, the partner can obviously feel alienated and lonely.
According to the analysis of Psychology Today, physical derailment may be a temporary impulse, but the spirit of derailment is to transfer the love and care that was previously placed on the partner to another person.
Seriously, it is more difficult to repair the relationship with the original partner.
If you do not want to make a mistake and then make a mistake, it is best to suggest a clear relationship with the new object, or you will confess with your partner first.
5 behaviors to determine whether you are mentally derailed 1. and the other party are messaging all the time only to have time to share the mood with each other, no matter how big or small things have to be reported with each other, every day to shake hands with the machine.
It may be nothing with the other half to deliberately hide something from you, but the subconscious will want to hide it from the other half, or he does not want you to do it, and you are still determined to do it.
Do not mention their partner as long as others do not ask, and will not deliberately mention their other half, or marriage, for their own possible development opportunities.
The other half is no longer the first person to want to see a movie or to develop a new restaurant, and it is no longer a partner to find, but to spare time for others.
Will be jealous about his interaction with others lost and ordinary friends between the minutes, want to meet every minute and second, very concerned about his any big and small things.

Does the F-35 have a weakness? American pilots freak out.
|
The United States Marine Corps F-35B.
Ren Yi-fang / Comprehensive report The United States F-35 fighter aircraft claims to be the world's first fighter using touch screen technology.
However, the website of the US "Popular Machinery" magazine on January 26, under the title "F-35 pilots explain the disappointing truth of the cockpit of the fighter", exposed the problems in the advanced cockpit of the F-35 fighter.
"The F-35 fighter's touch screen lacks tactile response and voice recognition is useless," the anonymous pilot said.
According to the report, the F-35 fighter is the most advanced fighter today, with a number of new technologies designed to make it the most lethal and battlefield survivable fighter.
But an anonymous U.S. F-35 fighter pilot revealed problems in the cockpit of the F-35, which itself is “beautiful ” and full of screens, and you can display a lot of information about the fighter with a tap of your finger and customize the data to the specific task.
According to the report, the F-35 fighter cockpit is very advanced, and the price of the custom helmet alone is worth $400,000.
The F-35 is the first fighter to use touchscreen technology, similar to a sci-fi movie scene, in contrast to conventional mechanical instruments and switches that permanently occupy the cockpit space.
The first minute. The display can show the fuel reserve data of the fighter, and the next minute, can help to target the enemy position on the mountain.
This design simplifies the cockpit, rather than using physical switches, instrumentation, and single-function displays that make the pilot ’ s head larger.
Seemingly advanced, the report pointed out that an anonymous F-35 fighter pilot said, “The problem with the F-35 ’ s touch screen is the lack of touch feedback. ”
The traditional physical switch can clearly click on the response and immediately know that it has been successfully opened, but people who have used smart touch phones know the problem of the touch screen.
“There ’ s about a 20 percent chance we won ’ t get results from the touch screen, ” the pilot stressed.
American F-35 fighter aircraft.
The pilot further said, “There ’ s about a 20 percent chance that I hit the wrong screen during the flight, which is due to the lack of tactile feedback, or the wrong touch during a high-maneuverability flight. ”
One of the biggest drawbacks is that the hand is not supported when touching the screen.
It ’ s as easy as using your finger to control a touchscreen phone, but it ’ s not the same if you ’ re using your index finger to press a virtual keyboard on a table-sized tablet. ”
Other problems with the F-35 include a $400,000 helmet that replaced the traditional head-mounted display (HUD) and sensor display, the report said.
But the F-35 fighter pilot believes that the old-fashioned head-up display is superior and can better display information without having to “shrink ” it to fit the helmet ’ s field of view.
In addition, the voice recognition function of the F-35 fighter is also completely useless.
The pilot said: “Voice recognition is another feature of the F-35, but I don ’ t think it ’ s useful.
This function can be very useful on the test bench on the ground, and in flight, in the case of large mechanical overload, I found that it did not perform enough continuously, and I have not encountered any pilot who actually operated the aircraft with voice control. "

Taiwan-born Lin Qier is re-used by NASA for the 2022 re-flight space station
|
Taiwan-born American astronaut Kjell Lindgren has been selected for the 2022 International Space Station mission, and will fly into Earth ’ s low orbit on a manned spacecraft built by Space Exploration Technology (SpaceX) for the second time.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) announced today that 48-year-old Angel Lin and 46-year-old Bob Hines will fly to and from the International Space Station in 2022 as spacecraft commanders and pilots, respectively.
The two American astronauts are expected to fly aboard the Crew Dragon spacecraft next year, using the Falcon 9 rocket to launch from NASA ’ s Kennedy Space Center Launch Station 39 in Florida.
Built by SpaceX, founded by billionaire Elon Musk, the Dragon spacecraft successfully carried people to the International Space Station twice in 2020.
She and her colleagues will then perform the fourth manned mission of the Dragon.
This will be Lin ’ s second trip to the space station, where he spent 141 days in 2015, sharing photos of Taiwan from space with the world.
NASA today released a press release introducing Kiel Lin, mentioning his background of birth in Taiwan.
Her father, a Swedish-American, served in the United States Air Force and met her mother, Chang Chu-yun, who worked at a bank more than 40 years ago when she was stationed at the Chingchuankang Air Force Base in Taichung.
Lin lived in Taiwan two and a half years ago, grew up in the United Kingdom, completed high school in the United States, graduated from the Department of Biology, the University of Colorado Medical School, and was selected as a NASA astronaut in 2009. In December 2020, she was selected as a member of the NASA Artemis Team lunar landing program.
Unlike previous missions, which were part of NASA ’ s Commercial Crew Program in partnership with private companies, the mission paves the way for future human space travel.
With the space station, NASA is able to grasp and overcome the difficulties of long-term space flight and expand commercial opportunities for low-orbit flight. As private companies focus on developing manned spacecraft and low-orbit business opportunities, NASA is able to focus on long-distance space missions to build spacecraft and rockets for landing on the moon and Mars, the NASA press release said.

It ’ s a semi-autobiographical drama about a struggling Israeli identity in Paris.
Lapid has served as a judge at international film festivals such as Locarno and Cannes.
Adina Pintilie ’ s film “Touch Me Not, ” directed by Adina Pintilie, the Grand Jury of the Berlin Film Festival 2021, is an experimental work that combines a fictional plot with a documentary, exploratory and intimate relationship.
It caused controversy at the Berlin Film Festival in 2018, but eventually won the Golden Bear.
The Romanian director is also an experienced film curator and co-founder of the Bucharest International Experimental Film Festival.
Ildikó Enyedi, the Grand Jury of the 2021 Berlin Film Festival, was nominated for the Oscar for Foreign Language Film after winning the 2017 Golden Bear for his eighth film, On Body and Soul.
Njedi served as a judge of the Berlin Film Festival in 1992 and has since served as a judge of many international film festivals.
The documentary “Fire At Sea ” by Gianfranco Rosi, the Grand Jury of the 2021 Berlin Film Festival, tells the difficult journey of migrants crossing the Mediterranean in order to reach Europe. After winning the 2016 Golden Bear, it was nominated for an Oscar.
Prior to this, the Italian-American director also won the Venice Golden Lion, becoming the only documentary director to win two of the highest awards in Europe's three major film festivals.
Jasmila Zbanic, the Bosnia and Herzegovina director of the 2021 Berlin Film Festival, won the Golden Bear in 2006 for Grbavica.
The film follows the systematic rape of Bosnian women by Serbian soldiers during the Bosnian War and its aftermath.

Read Summer Lala Ep.11: When a city can accommodate your love, it is worth putting it in your pocket.
|
There is always a need to stop and leave this current state of life. Sometimes you need to stop and breathe. More often, you want to travel, long for the unknown, let go of your birth and name, and let yourself and the world meet again in a new culture and language, and get to know each other again.
This week, “Reading Summer LaLa ” launched a limited edition book,“ Put Chiang Mai in Your Pocket ”, and “GOOD EYE Taiwan Finicky Guide: The First Chinese and English Style Travel Book to Let the World Know Taiwan ”, which allows people to understand Taiwan with a new perspective.
Through travel, Chen Ha-min wants to introduce “Put Chiang Mai in Your Pocket ” by dato. Who is dato, a member of the Men ’ s Holiday Committee, who has published“ Left Kyoto Men ’ s Holiday ” and “Hokkaido Central Men ’ s Holiday ” to introduce the beautiful things that can ’ t be missed during travel with a different perspective of life.
“Putting Chiang Mai in the Pocket ” is Dato ’ s first self-published work, with every project, text and photo taken by him.
Why impressed with dato? Chen Xiamin talked about his observation of the author: "His awareness is very sharp, and every time he takes a photo, the shop introduced and the selection, it makes me feel that I have benefited a lot."
In this regard, Xia Yu child heart is worried: "Really, I like his photo style!"
I like to ask him to run my IG, can he? Can he take on a new business? ” It can be seen that dato ’ s strength is profound. Chen Xiamin then said of dato ’ s brilliant fundraising record, “The goal set by this“ Put Chiang Mai in the pocket ” was 160,000 at the beginning, and more than 500,000 at the end, and the proposal reached a rate of 300%.
The second book is “Let ’ s Go! The Men ’ s Lunch Committee ”, which is also set at 160,000, and by the end it has exceeded 520,000, and the rate of achievement has increased to 329%, which is fierce enough. ”
And dato ’ s book will not be republished once the fundraising plan is over, so to collect his works, in addition to sponsoring fundraising, there is no other way. Chen Xiamin also immediately pushed dato ’ s ongoing “Put Lisbon in the Pocket ” new book fundraising plan, urging readers not to miss it.
Chiang Mai is also a place where Chen Hsia-min left many memories. At that time, when he graduated from graduate school, he had to produce a novel. "I went to Thailand for a month or two, changed a lot of transportation, and went to a lot of places."
Because I do not go out to do special planning, at most, it is to take care of the accommodation, and then I will go to the local travel agency to buy some sightseeing itineraries, I still remember that I took a luxury tour bus from Bangkok to Phuket for more than ten hours, and when I took a bath, I found that my ass was broken. ” Unable to sleep, can only hold on and wait for the time to pass.
Later, he went to Chiang Mai, he chose a sleeper train, drove the window to see the scenery, and in the night there were many moths touching his face, not knowing whether it was because of the bed, and actually fell asleep.
Chiang Mai is an ancient capital. In addition to many ancient buildings, temples, restaurants with local characteristics, there are also its own festivals.
Other details about Chiang Mai also appear in dato ’ s book, and some of the photos are also made into beautiful stickers, which are very surprising.
This book is very detailed and you can feel the author ’ s heart everywhere.
Chen Xiamin shared the words Dato wrote in the book: "When a city can accommodate your various loves, it is worth putting it in your own pocket."
And thus concluded: "Dato through the fact of travel, practice the exploration of many aspects of life."
From places that Xi used to be, to practice the meaning of travel Kuo Pei-lin ’ s “GOOD EYE Guide to Taiwan: The First Chinese and English Style Travel Book to Let the World Know Taiwan ” (Times Publishing) is a book that Xia Yutong would like to recommend.
"GOOD EYE TAIPEI FOCUS GUIDE" is a sequel to "GOOD EYE TAIPEI FOCUS GUIDE: The first Chinese-English style travel book to let the world know about Taipei". According to Xia Yutong, foreign friends are very fond of "GOOD EYE TAIPEI FOCUS GUIDE".
GOOD EYE Guide to Taiwan is divided into four volumes: North, Central, South and East. It is a lightweight design that is easy to carry.
Xia Yu Tong flipped through the first North Taiwan section, which has a general introduction of Taiwan, including the consumption level is based on Taipei, other counties and cities are slightly lower, and mineral water is about 25 yuan, breakfast egg cake and black tea about 50 yuan and so on.
Xia Yu Tong laughs: "This is a daily life that Taiwanese people know, and once it becomes information in books, it suddenly feels fresh."
There are many reasons why Xia Yutong likes this book, such as cute illustrations, a detailed introduction of information, including transportation, life, food, the choice of souvenirs, and other aspects, as well as links to information and websites in art, exhibition activities and culture, such as cultural courier, etc., and also put Taiwanese literature into it.
Take Keelung, where it rains very often, for example, and it is now a tourist attraction with cafés and coastal scenery.
The book mentions Keelung tourism websites, books and annual events, such as the Zhengbin Harbor Creative Arts Festival, which includes scenic natural areas, design lifestyle areas, local food and snacks, accommodation information, walking maps, and more.
Xia Yu Tong happily said: "There are also 12 hours of planning how to spend the route, such as breakfast can go to eat Chou family onion cake, followed by climbing Zhongzheng Park to look at Keelung Harbor, and then go to the Xinyi market to spend the night, oh, the book recommended Zhu Tianshui fish, and then go to the landmarks to see the night, in short, is a very perfect recommended route."
Or Taoyuan, the book says that although Taoyuan is not the first choice for tourism, it is suitable for living. Taipei housing prices are too high, and many young people will choose to buy a house in Taoyuan and settle down.
The attractions include the Taoyuan 77 Art Town, Taoyuan Exhibition Center, the courtyard book on the old street of Daxi, the coffee shop, just light and shadow, etc., which is transformed by the Japanese dormitory group of the Taoyuan Police Department, and the slow cafeteria of the ice shop, which are all very attractive.
"I am also very unfamiliar with Taoyuan, I really do not know it well."
"The boy's attitude is straightforward.
Chen Hsia-min strongly believes that what is worth eating in Taoyuan is moist cakes. Each family tastes different and is super delicious.
Later, as a Taoyuan native of Zhenggang, Chen Xia Min made a new wish, and every month he shared a Taoyuan attraction that he thought was worth recommending on the IG and Facebook page of “Reading Summer LaLa ”.
Then, Chen Hsia-min praised GOOD EYE for bringing into the city ’ s background and culture in addition to information.
He said sincerely: "This book is actually from the place we are most accustomed to starting, re-excavating and understanding Taiwan we do not know."
Xia Yu Tong also felt the same: "It is a Sino-British comparison book, but it is not only to serve foreign friends, many of the places I have not visited, reading this book just to expand my understanding of Taiwan."
I believe that it will also enable the Taiwanese people to re-understand their own place.
Because of the epidemic, basically everyone can ’ t go abroad, but it doesn ’ t matter, there are many places to have fun in Taiwan.
This is the right time for us to experience the beauty of Taiwan for ourselves. ”

Green Mars may be possible for cyanobacteria to survive in the Martian environment - International
|
Whether or not there is native life on Mars is still a subject of ongoing research, but to be fair, the dusty red planet is hard to survive.
However, new experiments show that the oldest cyanobacteria (also known as cyanobacteria) on Earth can successfully grow in the Martian atmosphere.
Perhaps, if we want to move to Mars in the future, the first step is to use cyanobacteria to Earth Mars.
Of the inner planets, only Venus, Earth, and Mars are in the habitable zone, that is, the area where there may be life.
However, Venus became super-hot several hundred million years ago due to the ultra-high greenhouse effect, and Venus's rotation rate is extremely slow for unknown reasons, so there is little possibility of transformation.
Mars is far away, coupled with its small size and small gravity, and only carbon dioxide is left in the atmosphere, so Mars is dead and sinking.
But by contrast, Mars is still a more likely planet to be transformed into a habitable environment, so for years scientists have been considering sending out photosynthetic oxygen-producing organisms on Earth to convert Mars' carbon dioxide into oxygen, and cyanobacteria is the oldest and simplest photosynthetic organisms.
Cyanobacteria appeared on Earth 3.6 billion years ago and are one of the oldest living organisms.
Paleontologists believe that cyanobacteria played a big role in making the Earth's atmosphere what it is today.
However, the atmosphere of Mars is very similar to the Earth, its atmosphere is too thin, only 1% of the Earth's atmospheric pressure, so liquid water is difficult to flow on the surface of Mars, the pressure is too small, liquid water can not exist effectively, ice will directly sublimate into gas.
Can cyanobacteria survive and expand under such extreme conditions?
To this end, the team led by Cyprien Verseux, an astrobiologist at the University of Bremen in Germany, was to use experiments to understand whether cyanobacteria can exist in the Martian environment. They developed a biological experiment called Atmos, which adjusts the atmospheric pressure to 10% of the Earth ’ s pressure, that is, the atmospheric pressure on Mars, and then adjusts the opposite of the gas. However, they first chose a formula that is the opposite of the Martian atmosphere, with a nitrogen content of 96% and a carbon dioxide content of 4%. (The true Martian atmosphere formula is 96% carbon dioxide and a nitrogen content of 4%) The biological experimenter also added some water, which simulates the melting ice on Mars, and the soil of Mars feldspar, which is the composition of Mars soil in the laboratory, according to the Mars probe.
The experiment built nine to test which cyanobacteria are most likely to survive on Mars.
The team first selected a nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria (Anabaena sp., PCC 7938), and preliminary tests showed that they were most likely to survive.
"In this low-pressure environment, cyanobacteria can still use the scarce water in the Martian soil for photosynthesis, and its by-products can be used to feed other microbes, which is a good start," Dr. Vassay said.
Although the previous paragraph has praised cyanobacteria for transforming the Earth's atmosphere, cyanobacteria do not always act as friendly base organisms. In fact, some cyanobacteria by-products are powerful biotoxins that can poison other organisms in the water body.
However, cyanobacteria are still important in the early stages of environmental transformation.
Scientists have found that cyanobacteria, such as fish houttuynia, can also grow rapidly under the weak pressure of Mars.
Then next, to assess whether cyanobacteria growing under Martian conditions continue to be useful, the researchers put E. coli into this environment, and if E. coli can be symbiotic, it shows that they can get sugar, amino acids, and other nutrients from cyanobacteria.
However, as mentioned earlier, the simulated Martian atmosphere installed by Atmos, a biological experimental device, is not a true formula for the Martian atmosphere, and only proves that cyanobacteria can survive in thin air, especially fish algae have nitrogen fixation characteristics, but the Martian atmosphere does not have that much nitrogen.
However, Dr. Vassay is optimistic that the cyanobacteria currently selected will not necessarily be the best species, and they will continue other experiments to understand whether cyanobacteria can establish an early ecological environment on Mars.

Climate Change Hualien Farm develops “Adversity Resistant ” varieties
|
In response to the impact of climate change, Hualien Agricultural Improvement Station has put into conservation work, and has collected nearly 300 varieties of indigenous characteristic crop types. (photo by reporter Wang Junqi) 2019-11-08 05: 30: 00 [Reporter Wang Junqi / Hualien report] Hualien District Agricultural Improvement Station released a climate change study yesterday, and Director Du Lihua stressed that climate change agriculture is the first to bear the brunt. Crops such as melons, bamboo shoots and golden needles are obviously affected. In order to combat natural disasters, we have not only developed a number of hardware and technology to combat natural disasters, but also transferred to biotechnology to develop a number of new “anti-adversity ” crops.
Taiwan ’ s agriculture is affected by global climate change, including abnormal weather conditions, diseases and pests, and the amount of agricultural losses has risen year after year. Faced with the increasingly severe extreme climate, Hualien Farm has cooperated with the Council of Agriculture to invest in disaster prevention and development of a number of disaster prevention crops and technologies to cope with the impact of climate change.
To Lihua, director of the Hualien Agricultural Reform Department, said that it has developed several new anti-adversity varieties, including pumpkin and rice varieties that are resistant to three viruses at the same time. In addition, it has collected nearly 300 varieties of indigenous special crops. To prevent typhoon hazards, it has also developed a Wen Dan wind shield and horizontal protection network. Reduce the damage by three to four percent.
This year, three crops in Hualien were affected by climate change, causing agricultural damage. Watermelons in Yuli, Fenglin, etc., were damaged because of the rapid growth of melons and fruits caused by the continuous rains.
Chen Chin-chu says that this year, affected by the warm weather, the amount of golden needles produced in the mountains is also 30% lower than last year, and the flowering period has been delayed by 25 days.
Du Lihua said that the impact of climate change on agriculture is huge, in the face of extreme weather must be technology first, to ensure that the yield and price of food can maintain a stable level, crops are damaged, after the disaster assessment, will be announced by the Council of Agriculture to be included in the relief target, reduce farmers' losses, Hualien Farm has been put into research, but the research needs time, will not see the results immediately, farmers are welcome to participate, to provide first-line planting experience.

Rising suicide rate under COVID-19: Is Japan sounding the alarm for the world?

Rising suicide rate under Covid-19: Is Japan sounding the alarm for the world?
Rupert Wingfield-Hayes, BBC reporter in Tokyo.
Japan reports suicides faster and more accurately than anywhere else in the world.
Unlike most countries, the number of suicides is counted at the end of each month.
These figures reveal disturbing stories during the coronavirus pandemic.
In 2020, Japan ’ s suicide rate rose for the first time in 11 years.
Most surprisingly, while the number of male suicides declined slightly, the rate of female suicides surged by nearly 15%.
In the month of October 2020, the female suicide rate in Japan rose by more than 70% compared to the same period last year.
Why does the pandemic seem to hit women much harder than men?
Warning: The story may contain uncomfortable content.
Talking face-to-face with a young woman who has attempted suicide multiple times is a disturbing experience.
It gives me a new respect for those who work on suicide prevention.
I was sitting at a walking center in Yokohama ’ s Red Light District, run by a suicide prevention charity called the Bond Project. Across the table was a 19-year-old woman with a wave head.
She sat motionless.
The image is annotated with text, Tachibana hopes that "Bond Project" can help women.
Quietly, without any emotion, she began to tell her story.
She said it all started when she was 15, when her brother violently abused her.
Eventually she ran away from home, but that didn ’ t end the pain and loneliness.
Ending life seems to be the only way out.
“Since about this time last year, I have been in and out of the hospital many times.
She told me, “I tried to kill myself many times, but it didn ’ t work out, so now I ’ ve given up trying to kill myself. ”
The "Bond Plan" intervened to stop her.
They found a safe place for her and began to give her intensive counseling.
Jun Tachibana is the founder of the Bond Project.
She is a strong woman in her 40s with a relentless optimism.
“When girls are in real trouble and pain, they really don ’ t know what to do.
“We ’ re ready to listen to them and tell them, ‘ We ’ re with you, ’ ” she said. Tachibana said the coronavirus appears to be pushing those who are already vulnerable to the brink.
She described some distressing phone calls that employees have received in recent months.
“We hear a lot of people saying ‘ I want to die ’ and ‘ I have nowhere to go, ’ ” she said.
“They said, ‘ It ’ s too painful, I ’ m lonely, I want to disappear. ’ ”
For those who have suffered physical or sexual abuse, the COVID-19 pandemic has made things worse.
“A girl I talked to the other day said she was being sexually harassed by her father, ” Tachibana told me.“ Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, her father doesn ’ t work much, so she is often at home and she can ’ t escape him. ”
If you look at past crisis periods in Japan, such as the banking crisis in 2008, or the collapse of the Japanese stock market and real estate bubble in the early 1990s, it was mainly middle-aged men who were affected.
The rate of male suicide has risen sharply.
But COVID-19 is different. It affects young people, especially young women.
The reasons are complicated.
Japan had the highest suicide rate among developed countries.
Its huge success over the past decade has reduced the suicide rate by about a third.
The image is annotated with text, and Professor Michiko Ueda believes that the suicide trend of Japanese women during the COVID-19 pandemic is "unusual".
Professor Michiko Ueda is a leading suicide expert in Japan.
She told me that it was shocking to witness the dramatic reversals of the past few months.
“This pattern of female suicide is very, very unusual, ” she told me.
“I have never seen so much increase in my research career in this field.
The sectors most impacted by COVID-19 are those with female employees, such as travel and retail and food. ”
The number of single women living alone in Japan has increased significantly.
Many people choose to be single, rather than a marriage that then requires traditional gender roles.
Professor Michiko Ueda said that young women are also significantly more likely to take up so-called precarious jobs.
“A lot of women don ’ t get married, ” she said.
“They have to feed themselves, and they don ’ t have regular jobs.
So when the crisis happens, of course, they will be hit very, very hard.
This has been the case in the last eight months with a very large number of unemployed non-permanent workers. ”
One month was really outstanding.
Last October, 879 women committed suicide.
This is more than 70% higher than the same period in 2019.
Newspaper headlines sounded the alarm.
The total number of men and women who committed suicide in October (2,199) was compared to the total number of COVID-19 deaths in Japan up to that time (2,087).
Something particularly strange happened.
Image copyright Getty Images Image caption Yuko Takeuchi, a famous Japanese actress, was found dead in her home on September 27 last year at the age of 40.
It was later reported that she committed suicide.
Yasuyuki Shimizu, a former journalist and now runs a non-profit organization (NPO) dedicated to solving Japan ’ s suicide problem, “From the day news of celebrity suicides is reported, the number of suicides will increase, and this will continue for about 10 days. ”
"From the data, we can see that the suicide of the actress on September 27 led to 207 more female suicides in the next 10 days," he said.
If you look at the suicide data of women the same age as Takuchi, the statistical results are even more obvious.
“Of all ages, women in their 40s are most affected, ” Mr. Shimizu said.
“For this group, it has more than doubled. ”
Other experts also believe there is a very strong link between celebrity suicides and an immediate rise in suicide rates in subsequent days.
This phenomenon is not unique to Japan, which is one of the reasons why it is so difficult to report suicides.
After celebrity suicide, the more discussed in the media and social media, the greater the impact on other vulnerable people.
Mai Suganuma is one of the NPO researchers.
She was also a victim of suicide.
When she was a teenager, her father committed suicide.
Now she offers help and support to other families of suicides.
Just as COVID-19 has made it impossible for relatives to grieve for those who have died of the virus, it has also made life harder for families of suicides.
“When I talk to my family, they have a very strong feeling that they can ’ t save their loved ones, which often leads them to blame themselves. ”
Massena told me.
I also blamed myself for not being able to save my father.
Now they were told they had to stay at home.
I ’ m afraid the feeling of guilt is getting stronger.
Japanese people do not like to talk about death at the beginning of their daily conversation.
We don't talk about suicide. "
Image copyright Getty Images Image caption Japan is now in the midst of the third wave of COVID-19, with restaurants, hotels and bars closing.
Japan is now in the midst of the so-called third wave of COVID-19, and the government has ordered a second state of national emergency.
More restaurants, hotels and bars are closing, and more people are unemployed.

Among the G7 countries, only Japan ’ s young population is “the leading cause of death ”: the suicide rate among minors is at a record high.
|
Japan Database The leading cause of death among young people is suicide – in a country with a well-developed economy and good medical and health conditions around the world, many young people are actively seeking death, and the entire Japanese society must appreciate the deep meaning of this phenomenon.
According to the 2020 White Paper on Suicide Measures released by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, the number of suicides in 2019 was the lowest in history at 2169, which has been declining for a decade in a row.
The suicide rate, which represents the number of suicides per 100,000 people, has also shown an overall downward trend for a decade in a row. The suicide rate in 2019 was 16.0, the lowest since 1978, when statistics began.
However, the number of suicides under the age of 20 was 659, an increase of 10.0% year-on-year, the highest since 2000.
The suicide rate of this group also reached an all-time high of 3.1, an increase of 0.3 points year-on-year.
Regarding the causes and motivations of suicide that can be inferred through suicide letters and other channels, according to the results of a maximum of 3 statistics per person, 618 people committed suicide because of school problems, 202 people, followed by health problems (138 people) and family problems (116 people).
From the order of causes of death of all ages, the leading cause of death for people of all ages 15-39 years old is suicide.
Among the G7 countries, suicide is the leading cause of death among young people aged 15-34 in Japan, and the mortality rate is higher than in other G7 countries.

3 countries Mars competition NASA "perseverance" first landing into the atmosphere "horror 7 minutes"
|
NASA ’ s Mars 2020 mission, which began last July, sent the largest and most sophisticated Mars probe ever, Persistence, weighing about 1 ton, equipped with robotic arms, 19 cameras and two microphones to record Martian images and sounds.
It will land on the surface of Mars at 3: 55 p.m. EST today (4: 55 a.m. Hong Kong time Friday). If successful, it will be the fifth U.S. probe to land on Mars since 1997.
China ’ s Tianmu 1 is expected to land in May and June this year, while the UAE ’ s Hope will not land.
From entering the Martian atmosphere to landing, Fortitude will experience what NASA ’ s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) engineers describe as a “terrifying seven minutes ” because the process is extremely critical and dangerous.
First, the protective shell will pass through the Martian atmosphere at a speed of about 19,000 kilometers per hour. After entering the atmosphere for 75 seconds, the outer temperature of the protective shell will reach a maximum of 1300 ° C, then the parachute is opened to help slow down, the heat shield is separated, and finally the "perseverance" is lowered to the surface of Mars by a rope by an aerial boom.
Since Mars is about 190 million kilometers from Earth, it takes 11 minutes for the signal to be transmitted back to Earth, meaning that if there is any error in the landing process, NASA engineers will not know until 11 minutes later.
Perseverance will land in the northern hemisphere of Mars at Jezero Crater, a 45-kilometer-wide basin that scientists believe was home to lakes and river deltas 3.5 billion years ago, possibly with fossil evidence of ancient microbes.
In addition to searching for evidence of life, perseverance will also study the climate and geology of Mars, collect rock and soil samples and send them back to Earth in the 2030s. It will also do oxygen experiments. The Mars Oxygen In-situ Resource Utilization Experiment (MOXIE) on the perseverance spacecraft is as large as a car battery and will try to convert Martian carbon dioxide into oxygen. Oxygen.
This will not only help NASA engineers learn how to make rocket fuel on Mars, but the converted oxygen can also be used for future human exploration of Mars.
In another high-profile test, the first unmanned helicopter to fly on Mars, the Ingenuity helicopter will be carried on the belly of the perseverance spacecraft, which will be separated from the spacecraft after landing, and will initially fly five times in a month, each time for about 90 seconds.
Because the density of Mars ’ atmosphere is only 1% of that of Earth, and the gravity is 1 / 3 of that of Earth, it is specially designed to weigh about 1.8 kg, has a longer propeller blade, 5 times the speed of ordinary helicopters per minute, and can fly in a thin atmosphere.

Wuri Pocket Park, a dirty spot turned into a resting place - Life
|
There is a piece of land originally owned by the High Speed Rail Bureau between the Sanhe Activity Center and the WuRihu Administrative Office in Taichung City. Because of the grass and often snakes, no one dares to come near. City Councilman Wu Chiung-hua recently received a response from the public, after several efforts, the High Speed Rail Bureau agreed to transfer this land to the Taichung City Government for green beautification.
The construction period is scheduled to be completed in two months, and in the future, he hopes to improve the surrounding environment and health, but also provide more perfect activities and rest for the community. Wu said that the construction period is scheduled to be completed in two months. Space.
Wu Chiung-hua pointed out that the land, which covers an area of about 400 square meters, is located in the middle of the activity center, the police station and the household office, which is a "pocket park" concept. The land belongs to the High-Speed Rail Bureau.
After several efforts, the High Speed Rail Bureau agreed to transfer to the Taichung City Government, and initially will be opened as a simple park, local residents said, in the past, the community to Zhongshan Road, must bypass the high speed railway, and the section is narrow, traffic complex, residents are inconvenient to pass, the future park side plan to open a trail, residents will be more convenient to enter and exit.
Wu Qionghua stressed that the project is scheduled to be completed by the end of May, and in the future, it will be handed over to the local office and the community for adoption, and in the future, it will bring more space for the community to relax.

The “suicide rate ” has risen for the first time in 11 years! Japan to appoint ‘ Minister of Solitude ’

Japan ’ s suicide rate in 2020 is rising due to the epidemic. (Photo / Reuters) - Japan ’ s suicide rate remains high, and in 2020, affected by COVID-19, people are forced to work far away and people are less sociable, resulting in the suicide rate breaking the record of the past 11 years and increasing for the first time.
Among them, the proportion of women who have committed suicide due to financial distress caused by the loss of their jobs due to the epidemic has increased significantly, and the number of young people who have committed suicide has broken a 40-year record.
In response, Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga decided to appoint the cabinet as Minister for Solitary Affairs, Tetsuji Sakamoto, to address the worsening suicide problem.
According to the latest data from Japan ’ s Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, the number of suicides in 2020 reached 20,919, the first increase since the financial crisis in 2009.
The Japanese government attributed the result to economic pressures such as social dysfunction and unemployment caused by the epidemic.
Not only that, but the suicide rate among women also rose for the first time in two years, to 6,976.
In fact, many women who work in the frontline are the first to be laid off because of the impact of the epidemic on the tourism and retail industry in Japan.
According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), Japan ’ s suicide rate is the highest in the G7, with 14.9 suicides per 100,000 people, mostly due to health factors and economic problems. However, as the epidemic continues to spread, the related problems will only continue to worsen.
To this end, the Japanese government decided to follow the British example and set up the post of "Minister of Solitude" to solve the relevant problems.
Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga appointed the current cabinet as the first Minister for Solitary Affairs, Tetsuji Sakamoto. In the future, Tetsuji Sakamoto will be responsible for coordinating various departments and agencies and proposing relevant measures.

A South Korean fishing boat capsized and rescued for 40 hours.
|
A fishing boat capsized in South Korea recently, leaving six people missing, but one of them survived for 40 hours on an air pocket.
The North Korean daily quoted the Pohang Marine Police Station as saying that the incident occurred at nearly 7 p.m. on the 19th, about 42 kilometers east of Gyeongju Pohang in North Gyeongsang Province.
At that time, a nearly 10-ton red crab fishing ship, the Dragon, sank, and the coast police and navy immediately dispatched, braving strong winds and waves of 12 to 16 meters per second, and launched a search and rescue overnight.
The report said that in order to find the possible survivors of the ship, in the morning of the third day of the search and rescue, the marine police sent divers into the sea, first knocked the hull more than 10 times, and then entered the fishing boat to search for the inside of the fishing boat, and finally found the 56-year-old captain of the ship in the stern fish tank where seafood was stored.
"The sea water temperature in the area of the accident is about 12 degrees Celsius, which is lower than the temperature of the cold pool of the public bathhouse."
After the fishing boat capsized, he seemed to survive miraculously by relying on the remaining air in the empty fish tank. "
It is reported that when the ship capsizes, the cavitation can prevent the loss of air inside the ship, which is known as the "last living space".
Captain Liu was in a state of low temperature at the time of rescue, but his consciousness was still quite clear, and reported to the coast guard that he had seen four other crew members leave in life jackets before the fishing boat capsized.

Japan ’ s new “Minister of Solitude ” wants to reduce the suicide rate, how to find people in need from a“ one-person ” culture?
|
In an effort to address Japan ’ s record-breaking suicide rate, Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga announced earlier this month the creation of a new “minister of loneliness ” in his cabinet, with Tetsushi Sakamoto appointed as minister by the Cabinet Office.
How to deal with social problems caused by loneliness is very difficult for Japan.
On the one hand, popular culture promotes the so-called "one person" (ohitorisama, that is, one can live alone), and on the other hand, it is closely related to the Japanese workplace environment and culture.
The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the frequency of people feeling lonely.
Suicides hit record numbers in 2020, women and young people noticeably increased The Japan Times reports that Sakamoto is also responsible for saving the country ’ s declining birth rate and reviving the local economy.
This position was first created by the UK in 2018, and the Australian government has a similar role.
Because loneliness is related to social issues such as suicide, poverty, and “cocooning ”, the Japanese cabinet has set up an inter-departmental task force to understand the problem of loneliness and investigate its impact.
According to data released by the Japanese Police Agency, nearly 21,000 people committed suicide last year (2020), 750 more than the previous year (2019), breaking the record of the past 11 years.
The rise in suicides is evident among women and young people.
Photo Credit: AP / Takashi Imaging Cabinet Office Special Minister Tetsushi Sakamoto has been appointed by Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga to deal with Japan ’ s high suicide rate.
Suga told Sakamoto at a conference, "Women are suffering more from isolation than men, and the number of suicides is also on the rise."
I hope that you can identify the relevant problems and propose corresponding prevention and control policies. "
However, this does not mean that the Japanese government only wants to deal with the problem of suicide among women and young people.
In his report to the House of Representatives Budget Committee earlier this month, Suga mentioned that people from all walks of life in Japan, including the elderly who are trapped at home and college students who cannot attend school, have become increasingly isolated during the Wuhan pneumonia epidemic.
Sakamoto later said at a press conference that he hoped to implement activities to prevent social isolation and isolation and to maintain interpersonal connections.
Sakamoto also revealed that he will host a forum at the end of February to hear from workers who help people deal with loneliness and discuss related support strategies.
Suga is also planning to attend.
Japanese society that promotes “one person ” needs to point out which kind of loneliness needs help.“ What is loneliness ” is a thornier problem in Japan. In Japanese, the word “kodoku ” often includes loneliness, which makes people feel lonely and uneasy, and solitude, which allows them to enjoy time alone. Communication strategist Okako According to Junko Okamoto, this has led to a trend in Japan in recent years, which sees being alone as positive and even beautifies the situation.
The best example of how the publishing market shapes isolation as proof of independence, introspection, and superiority over others is the bestselling book “The Best of Loneliness ” published by Chung Xiaozi in 2018.
The Japanese word “ohitorisama ” has also been promoted in the mass media to show that a person is independent enough to go shopping, eat, or even travel alone.
Junko Okamoto says that the Japanese society's near-cult culture of solitude has left the public unaware of the almost hopeless, unbearable nature of suffering in loneliness.
Therefore, one of the challenges for the Japanese government will be to define and identify the conditions under which people are struggling with unsettling solitude and therefore need help, rather than simply enjoying the time alone.
Social isolation among middle-aged men In Japan, the high risk group often mentioned includes the elderly and middle-aged men.
In particular, Japan is known for “kodokushi ”, which refers to those who live alone until the last moment of their lives and are not discovered by others until they die.
In an international survey conducted by the Cabinet Office in 2015, Japanese people over the age of 60 reported the highest proportion of people in need of help (16.1%), compared with 13% in the United States, 10.8% in Sweden and 5.8% in Germany.
Photo Credit: Shutterstock / Dazhi Image An OECD survey in 2005 also showed that Japanese society struggles to address social isolation, especially among men.
The survey found that a high proportion of Japanese men spend “little or no ” time with friends, peers, or other groups.
That ’ s 17%, well above the OECD average of about 6%.
The report pointed out that part of the reason can be attributed to the long working hours in Japan's workplace environment, as well as the lifelong employment system.
"Into Japan" pointed out that in addition to the beautification of "loneliness", Japan is also a "high context" culture, that is, most people have a common cultural background, which requires everyone to be able to read the air through observation, even without speaking a language.
Junko Okamoto points out that many Japanese people believe that through "heart to heart", they can achieve the state of "everything in silence", resulting in awkward language expression.
Especially those middle-aged and elderly men who struggle all the way through the corporate culture of long hours of labor, vertical communication methods and convergent pressure are very dependent on the workplace and lack the "skills" to deal with "outside" people, so they are prone to loneliness.
Pneumonia exacerbates the risk of loneliness for those living alone, and fears about living alone are growing in Japan.
A 2018 survey by real estate advertising firm Lifull Co and its think-tank found that as many as 75% of single households in Japan had little or no communication with their neighbors, compared to 54.1% for two or more households.
According to the survey report, part of the reason may be that in Japan, the ease of working for the company and the importance of privacy determine where these single families live (especially in the city), even if they have to move to an environment they do not know.
“Before the outbreak, the typical day for single-family households living in the city might have been like this: working from day to night, eating or drinking with friends after work, and then commuting home, ” said Manjo Shimahara, head of the think tank.
“For them, home is just a place where they can sleep after work, ” Mr. Shimabara said.
But the pandemic has changed that, with remote work drastically reducing the interaction of lone workers with their work colleagues, forcing them to spend time with their neighbors who have little emotional attachment.
Such a drastic change in lifestyle has exacerbated the risk of feeling lonely, says Mr. Shimahara.
“I think the Wuhan pneumonia epidemic has forced the lone residents to realize the fact that they don ’ t know any of their neighbors near their homes or can ’ t even name any of the bars near where they live. ”

Klimt 's Kiss: Kiss to the end of the world, draw a lover' s eternal kiss
|
Text: Detective Gordon (founder of Deniscification, hope to make the art more intimate) any lover, after the famous painting "Der Kuss / The Kiss" (Der Kuss / The Kiss), will not consciously stop and watch.
The slightly asymmetrical composition, the dazzling decorative pattern, the human body expressing lust, the rich and bright gold leaf, the eyes are not free to give.
Image provided by the author The painting is rich in symbolic patterns, hard square, contrasting soft curves.
The man hugs the woman in his arms, kneels on the grass, and kisses each other in a hugging position. The golden splendor, between the flowers and trees, is romantically intoxicated in the world of self.
Austrian Separatist painter Gustav Klimt opposed the rationality, rigour, refinement, and service to the royal family of his time.
Separatists pursue individualism, seeking the release and expression of the artist ’ s self-emotions, just as Klimt ’ s paintings feature.
Klimt devoted his life to painting and studying women to preserve their beauty.
The works fit the character and life, he is a well-known playboy, unmarried for life, surrounded by many red confidants, often accompanied by female models.
Image provided by the author Emilie Flöge, known as his “life partner ”, is the sister of Klimt ’ s sister-in-law and the painter ’ s favorite model.
It is said that the "kiss" of the two is the blueprint for the painting of the lover, but in the letters, only a pure male girlfriend friendship.
Klimt's paintings, with a strong decorative style.
Decorative pattern, golden brilliant tone flooded the picture, men are strong square, women are curved and round, and the splendor, distortion, revealing the lust and slightly decadent beauty.
He once said: "All art is erotic." This kiss is also like its words, under the romantic kiss, in fact, Klimt is first to depict the genitals, before painting the character's clothing, the metaphor of lust into the pattern, buried many symbols.
Men's square straight strip pattern, the two parts are flowing swirls, alluding to the male sperm.
The woman's body is full of circles, sensitive parts are painted with flowering patterns, and the ground is blooming flowers.
It is clear that the desire to see the light will be revealed.
The “Golden Age ” is inspired by Byzantine art and influenced by its background.
Klimt comes from a craft home, his father is a gold craftsman, brilliant colors accompanied by a distorted human body, chasing his father.
Klimt ’ s paintings are often divided by irregular curves, and each group of divided pictures fills the space with decorative patterns.
Highly concentrated patterns, a strong sense of plane, and rich and brilliant decoration, permeate with a strong sense of mystery.
From the composition, space, and color of the three, to see the painting, the viewer is not difficult to feel, he arranged a relaxed and tight rhythm.
Seemingly unequal composition, in color and pattern arrangement, beauty and mystery, design sense and artistry, constitute the power of charm.

Chinese media announce plans for manned spacecraft to explore Mars for the first time
|
Image copyright xinhua Image caption China plans to launch a Mars rover in 2020, completing a variety of missions to Mars (China's Mars landing rover concept map) China's state media has publicly reported for the first time the "manned spacecraft to the Red Planet plan".
China hopes to send "astronauts" to the moon first, as a preview of the next landing on Mars.
The China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CSC) said that the next manned flight will be a manned landing on the moon to explore.
China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation said that China's long-term goal is to send astronauts to Mars.
China will first establish a lunar base for scientific research, expand the space suitable for human survival, accumulate experience, and then conduct other deep space exploration.
Ye Peijian, chief scientist of space science and deep space exploration at the China Academy of Space Technology, said in a report on the China News Agency that China will launch a Mars rover in 2020 and plan to land on Mars in 2021, before the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China.
Image copyright Xinhua Image caption China plans to launch a Mars rover in 2020 to complete a variety of missions to Mars, which is the first in the history of space, so it is very difficult.
China's Mars exploration will have a so-called "Mars eclipse" about every 26 months, that is, the sun, earth and Mars are located in a straight line, which is suitable for Mars exploration time point, because at that time the Mars rover's flight route is the shortest and most fuel efficient.
Chinese media reported that 2020 is the "Mars to the Sun" detection window, so China will then carry out Mars exploration.
According to the official micro-signal of the China Aerospace Science and Technology Group, the specialized agencies of the China Aerospace Science and Technology Group have conducted a large number of experiments to test the Mars rover's hover, obstacle avoidance and landing tests to verify the control and propulsion performance of the Mars rover during the landing phase.
Chinese media reported that the manned mission to Mars will further understand the traces of life on Mars.
It is thought that studying Mars could also provide clues to the development of life on Earth.
If China's Mars program is successful, China will surpass NASA in Mars exploration, dwarfing the previous Curiosity rover.

The Mars unmanned helicopter project will pave the way for the eventual realization of a human-controlled Mars vehicle.
The Curiosity Mars rover was launched by NASA in November 2011 and landed on Mars in August 2012. The Curiosity rover probes the Martian climate and geology, the water on Mars, and whether the Martian environment has ever been able to support life.
Sun Zezhou, chief designer of China's Chang'e 4 probe, told Xinhua that China plans to launch a Mars rover in 2020 to complete a variety of missions on Mars, which is the first in the history of space travel.
Sun Zezhou said that the moon has no atmosphere, so the lunar probe has to carry a lot of propellant, and Mars has an atmosphere, but the uncertainty of the atmosphere also brings many problems, which makes it more difficult to develop a Mars probe.
At the same time as the Chinese announced their plans to explore Mars, NASA also announced plans to send a new autonomous helicopter to explore the surface of Mars.

NASA website news quoted Susan Gordon as saying: the use of heavier air vehicles in the thin atmosphere of Mars is something that has not been attempted before, and she hopes that the important space project will be helped by American aerospace experts.
Susan Gordon says using a Mars helicopter, if successful, would allow scientists to explore the distant surface of Mars far away from their mother ship.
NASA chief, Republican Jim Bridenstine, said that NASA has many historical "firsts" and that the Mars helicopter is of great significance for future scientific discoveries and exploration of Mars.

The epidemic has increased the suicide rate, and the appointment of a "minister of loneliness" is urgent.
|
Japan suffered from COVID-19 in 2020, forcing people to work remotely and reducing social interaction, which led to the suicide rate breaking the previous 11 years ’ record. (AP) Japan ’ s suicide rate in 2020 broke the previous 11 years ’ record, and increased for the first time in the past 11 years, especially among women and young people.
To this end, Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga has appointed a “Minister for Solitude ” to address the worsening suicide problem.
According to data from the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, the number of suicides in 2020 reached 20,919, the first increase since the financial crisis in 2009, with 6,976 women accounting for nearly 15% more than in 2019.
The Japanese government blamed the outbreak on social dysfunction and economic pressures such as unemployment.
For this reason, the Japanese government decided to follow the British example and set up the post of "Minister of Solitude".
On the 12th, Suga appointed the current cabinet as the first minister of loneliness, Tetsuji Sakamoto. On the 16th, he established the “Office of Solitude and Isolation Measures ” to deal with the serious problem of loneliness and isolation.
In announcing her appointment in January 2018, Prime Minister Theresa May described loneliness as a “sad reality of modern life ” and looked forward to helping those who had no way of expressing their grief.
Japan ’ s Nikkei Shimbun commented that since Suga decided to follow the British example, he should also send a stronger and stronger message to the people, like May, to encourage the people to work together to solve their psychological pain.
Japanese media reported that because of the strong reaction of public opinion, the Japanese government tends to continue to lock the country. (European News Agency) Japanese media: lifting the state of emergency will still lock the country In addition, the Korean news reported that the Japanese government has basically decided on the 24th, even if the state of emergency is lifted across the country, it will continue to maintain the state of lock, and the business bubble in 11 countries / regions will not reopen temporarily.
On the other hand, the International Olympic Committee said that the decision on whether to allow foreign tourists to enter Japan at the Tokyo Olympics is expected to be made at the end of April.
The epidemic in Japan has slowed down, and the state of emergency was originally issued by the prefectural governments of the ten prefectures until March 7, but now the rest of the region is expected to be lifted by the end of February.

Create a bamboo pavilion to recreate the local tobacco industry culture - Baodao
|
Nearly 40 volunteers have worked together to build a bamboo pavilion in Yanlou, which not only provides a resting place for the community, but also highlights the unique cultural characteristics of the locality. (photo by Zhang Yuling) A lantern made by the elders of the community is hung in the bamboo pavilion. (photo by Zhang Yuling) On the morning of the 28th, the new house was completed. (photo by Zhang Yu-ling) Everyone ate corn and soup dumplings together, and the atmosphere was warm and warm. (photo by Zhang Yu-ling) The early industry of Sanjiepu in Shuishui Township, Chiayi County, was dominated by the tobacco industry.
In order to recreate the past, the Sanjiebu Sustainable Development Association of Chiayi County has called on local volunteers, ranging from the maximum age of 92 to the minimum age of 3, to work together to build a bamboo pavilion in Yinlou, which not only provides a resting place for the community, but also highlights the unique cultural characteristics of the area.
Most of the farmers of Sanjiepu in Shuiheng grow herbs, rice, corn and sweet potatoes. In particular, herbs are an important collection and distribution throughout Taiwan. However, in the early days, the area was a tobacco producing area.
The Sanjiebu Sustainable Development Association of Chiayi County started planning six months ago, gathering local environmental volunteers, drawing local materials from the community and sponsorship from people with good intentions, and building a bamboo pavilion for tobacco houses without spending the government ’ s “half a penny. ”
Huang Yuxue, executive secretary of the Sanjiepu Sustainable Development Association, said that two-thirds of the elderly in Sanjiepu are Hakka, and the bamboo pavilion in Yinlou integrates Hakka culture, and the elders can remember the past time and talk about heaven and earth together.
She mentioned that the place where the bamboo pavilion is located was originally a wasteland of weeds, but now it has become an important base for the community. I am grateful to the landlord for providing private land free of charge, and plans to plant herbs and hold related agricultural experience activities in the vicinity in the future.
On the morning of the 28th, the "new house" was completed. Chiayi County Mayor Weng Zhangliang, legislator Cai Yiyu, county councilor Lin Lu Ting and Shuishui Township Mayor Liu Jingxiang went to congratulate them.
Chen Chung-yung, president of the Sanjiebu Sustainable Development Association, also invited more tourists to visit the site, come in and sit down, chat and fight for feelings.

Think Like a Rocket Scientist: These Unusual Tech Houses Take Your Life with the Wisdom to Send People to Space
|
Text: Gene (from Malaysia, now living in Windy City.
Although my work and interests are mainly life sciences, I am still very impressed with the ability of humans to launch various kinds of spacecraft into outer space!
I remember that I just graduated from high school and took an English course outside of school, and some of my classmates didn ’ t know what NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) was, which made me angry in class and sad for a long time! How could anyone be indifferent to one of the greatest institutions in the history of human science and engineering?
However, in 2003, during NASA's 28th mission to launch the Space Shuttle Columbia OV-102, the shuttle lost contact with the control center during the atmospheric re-entry phase, and shortly after it exploded over Texas, killing all seven astronauts on board. Mars, because one team of engineers used imperial units and the other used metric units, I lost respect for NASA.
Nevertheless, I still believe that human exploration of outer space will not end because of these failures, at most, draw a comma, and believe that the mission of outer space exploration is one of the highest achievements that human science can achieve, reflecting the strength of the unity and cooperation of the human scientific and engineering elite!
Elon Musk ’ s space exploration technology company (SpaceX) in recent years has achieved achievements that many national aerospace agencies have not achieved, each one of which is a step closer to immigrating to Mars!
In the difficult task of exploring outer space, in addition to improving human scientific knowledge and scientific research and development, and paving the way for future immigrants, the challenges in the process also provide us with many valuable management references for other complex tasks! That ’ s why Varol wrote this book, Think Like A Rocket Scientist: Simple Strategies for Giant, based on years of experience and observations from the Mars Exploration Rover (MER) and Cassini – Huygens missions. Leaps in Work and Life.
Wait a minute. A law professor on a space mission?
Varo is a Turkish homesick with an astronomical dream. He taught himself English as a second language. He moved to the United States at the age of 17 and entered the so-called “Mars Room ” on the fourth floor of the Cosmic Science Building at Cornell University, majoring in astrophysics.
He later went to the University of Iowa to study law, not only graduated with first place honors, but also set a record for the highest average score in the school's history, and became a law professor in his 20s.
He has sufficient expertise to understand the science of space exploration missions, but also an outsider ’ s perspective to objectively interpret the story for us.
This book does not teach people how to build rockets, but to understand the thinking of rocket scientists to transform our careers and lives!
"Rocket science" is a common misnomer, but he refers to the scientists involved in space missions (full of aspirational cosmic researchers) and engineers (software and hardware designers who make space travel real) as "rocket scientists."
He argued that the so-called rocket scientists are unusual polytechnics, they often think about things that people generally can ’ t imagine, solve problems that people can ’ t deal with in general, and really take failure as the mother of success, turn disadvantages into advantages, and use limitations to innovate!
Although it seems to be prepared for everything, space missions are not always successful, and every failure is expensive and politically risky, rocket scientists use accidents and failures as lessons, as puzzle materials, and correct in self-doubt, staring at long-term goals, not satisfied with short-term results.
The rocket is full of fuel, and every step must be calculated and controlled with great precision.
After successfully entering outer space, the challenge is just beginning – how to keep millions of parts running smoothly in an environment of zero gravity, vacuum, high radiation, and extreme temperatures?
Varo argues that these experiences have important reference significance for our rapidly developing and complex society to make correct judgments and decisions when under great pressure in chaotic times! We do not want to launch rockets into outer space, but how do we launch rockets to the peak of our careers and lives?
Think Like a Rocket Scientist is divided into three stages, just like a rocket launch.
In the first phase: the launch, which will be used to ignite the minds of many of the most intelligent minds in the control room, seems to be able to precisely control any aspect of the space mission.
However, in fact, all space missions face great uncertainty, because no one really knows what is unpredictable in outer space. Although the wireless signal is moving at the speed of light, it takes 24 minutes to return to Mars. This uncontrollable feeling, even let many scientists involved in the mission have all kinds of superstitions, from clothing and snacks to urinating on a traffic car.
The difference is that the so-called rocket scientists do not choose to escape because of uncertainty, on the contrary, they choose to embrace uncertainty and take that as a career!
It is important to find out what is controllable and what is uncontrollable, and adventure and adventure are two different things. Eggs can not be placed in the same basket, ready to be safe!
He used Musk ’ s SpaceX as an example to show us the big mistakes that companies make when they come up with ideas, and how invisible frameworks limit our thinking. We think we ’ re all doing the right thing, but forget that the limitations in space and time may no longer exist.
Musk used subtraction to lead to originality, he went back to the basic proposition to think, so that the price of rocket launches is hard to fall sharply. SpaceX abandoned the traditional NASA way of making rockets, using market competition to improve efficiency and reduce costs, they recruited talent not only in the aerospace field, produce their own parts, even go to eBay to buy second-hand goods that can still be used, simplify the manufacturing process, and find ways to recycle rockets.
He suggests that thought experimentation and moonshot thinking are strategies adopted by rocket scientists, start-ups, and world-class talent to transform them from passive observers to active interventionists in the real world.
We used to have a lot of curiosity and curiosity about the world, but we forgot about them and filled our time in various ways without getting bored.
The best use of thought experiments is not to find the right answer, but to let the mind accept different possibilities.
In September 1962, President John F. Kennedy stood in the crowded stadium of Rice University and vowed to the crowd that he would send humans to the moon and bring them safely back to Earth before the end of the 1960s.
When humans first landed on the moon, the computing power of the world's computers was not even as good as an iPhone! But the United States still completed the impossible task! What is more interesting is that many technologies did not exist when Kennedy spoke, and the real victory of the lunar mission came from a set of thought steps that enabled rocket scientists to make the impossible possible.
Phase 2: Acceleration, which will be used to advance the idea presented in Phase 1, exploring how to define the problem precisely how do we send two Mars rovers?
Varo explained the development process of sending Spirit (MER-A) and Opportunity (MER-B) to Mars, and pointed out that to find the right answer, you must first learn to ask the right questions.
Ask the right questions, not only have the Mars rover been successfully delivered, but it has also saved the lives of hundreds of babies and young children.
Next, think back and find possible fallacies in your ideas by proving them wrong (rather than convincing others of their own correctness).
Hitler came to power with similar design fallacies to the 1999 crash of the Mars Polar Lander.
We tend to believe in evidence that is consistent with our beliefs and ignore what is inconsistent with us.
To avoid this, we need to replace the point of view with “hypotheses ”, provide multiple hypotheses, and seek independent verification from others.
This is also the difference between science and pseudoscience, which is basically the opposite.
Faced with the harsh environment of outer space, how do astronauts perform difficult tasks in outer space under high intensity physical and mental pressure? It may be worse than no test when the test is not real enough.
In addition, the test should be more rigorous than the actual combat! "Think Like a Rocket Scientist" provides a way to test astronauts, and analyzes various test failures.
The third and final stage: success and failure are important factors that unlock the ultimate potential.
We are all afraid of failure, as are rocket scientists, and the failure of space missions comes with many political responsibilities, but failure to learn from failure will not only bring more failures, but also disaster!
The failure of NASA is not small, the two shuttle explosions in human life and property losses are extremely heavy, and those two accidents could have been avoided. Pride is always defeated, the collapse of the industry giants and the explosion of the shuttle have many similarities.
The story in “Think Like a Rocket Scientist ” is a wonderful, wonderful book that gives us a glimpse into the science of space missions and at the same time allows us to learn a lot about management! Read it, what is more difficult than sending a Mars vehicle?

Review: Golden Bear Award-winning film "Not Just Pornography"
|
Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn, directed by Romanian director Radu Jude, won the Golden Bear at the 2021 Berlin Film Festival.
Jude said at a press conference: "I don't think this film is a provocation.
Even the sex scenes are pretty tacky, "he said.
The satire opens with a very realistic videotape of amateur sex, and it starts off with a powerful dose of medicine.
But Jude said that such content is ubiquitous on the web, and people need not be shocked by "consensual sex"; the hypocrisy of prejudice and hatred in today's society is truly indecent.
From sexism to fascism: boasting about various forms of hypocrisy The protagonist of “Unlucky Sex, Crazy Pornography ” is a history teacher who faces losing her job due to the exodus of her sex videos and the spread of them in school.
The film is not just a "yellow film", it attacks all aspects of Romanian society.
The experimental narrative first leads the audience to the streets of Bucharest, Romania, using a documentary-style observation sequence. Most people on the street wear masks (incidentally, this is the only film in this year ’ s competition to integrate the epidemic into the narrative), and many people are on the edge of the outbreak and will yell at them at any time.
The second chapter of the film presents “a small dictionary of anecdotes, symbols and wonders ”, defining words related to sexism, corruption, racism, anti-Semitism and fascism with black humor, including Romanian complicity in the Holocaust.
Elizabeth Grenier, author of this article, Jean-Paul Sartre ’ s golden phrase “children are political prisoners of their parents ” also appears in the noun parse of this chapter.
This sentence has become the third chapter in the chapter, female teachers in the like trial parents in the face of parents sharp questions throughout the chapter.
The judging panel for the competition consisted of six directors who had won the Golden Bear Award.
The Berlin Film Festival is considered the most political of the three major international film festivals.
The Golden Bear Award winning film continues this tradition.
Six judges have also won Golden Bear awards in the past for politically critical work.
Last year, Iranian dissident director Mohammad Rasoulof won an award for “There Is No Evil, ” focusing on the country ’ s death penalty system.
Nadav Lapid won the 2019 Golden Bear for his film Synonyms.
The political satire film follows a young Israeli who travels to Paris in search of an identity after retiring from military service.
A year earlier, Romanian director Adina Pintilie won the Golden Bear for her experimental work “Touch Me Not. ”
Director Mohammad Rasoulof, the Grand Jury of the 2021 Berlin Film Festival, won the 2020 Berlin International Film Festival Golden Bear for his film “There is No Evil ”, but he was unable to receive the award himself.
The Iranian director was sentenced to prison and banned from traveling abroad.
As a result, Lasorov will participate in this year's Berlin Film Festival in Iran via remote video link.
The other five directors of the 2021 Berlin Film Festival ’ s Grand Jury, Nadav Lapid, will gather in Berlin to watch and discuss the film.
Israeli director Nadav Lapid won the 2019 Golden Bear for his third film, Synonyms.
It ’ s a semi-autobiographical drama about a struggling Israeli identity in Paris.
Lapid has served as a judge at international film festivals such as Locarno and Cannes.
Adina Pintilie ’ s film “Touch Me Not, ” directed by Adina Pintilie, the Grand Jury of the Berlin Film Festival 2021, is an experimental work that combines a fictional plot with a documentary, exploratory and intimate relationship.
It caused controversy at the Berlin Film Festival in 2018, but eventually won the Golden Bear.
The Romanian director is also an experienced film curator and co-founder of the Bucharest International Experimental Film Festival.
Ildikó Enyedi, the Grand Jury of the 2021 Berlin Film Festival, was nominated for the Oscar for Foreign Language Film after winning the 2017 Golden Bear for his eighth film, On Body and Soul.
Njedi served as a judge of the Berlin Film Festival in 1992 and has since served as a judge of many international film festivals.
The documentary “Fire At Sea ” by Gianfranco Rosi, the Grand Jury of the 2021 Berlin Film Festival, tells the difficult journey of migrants crossing the Mediterranean in order to reach Europe. After winning the 2016 Golden Bear, it was nominated for an Oscar.
Prior to this, the Italian-American director also won the Venice Golden Lion, becoming the only documentary director to win two of the highest awards in Europe's three major film festivals.
Jasmila Zbanic, the Bosnia and Herzegovina director of the 2021 Berlin Film Festival, won the Golden Bear in 2006 for Grbavica.
The film follows the systematic rape of Bosnian women by Serbian soldiers during the Bosnian War and its aftermath.
Quo Vadis, Aida?
It has been nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.
This year, for the first time, the six-member jury of the Berlin Film Festival will have no chairman.
Authors: Elizabeth Grenier ’ s Choice for the Golden Bear: Céline Sciamma ’ s Petite Maman and Alexandre Koberidze ’ s What Do We See When We Look at the Sky? Representing the characters experienced, but not touching the gloomy state of the world.
Although these works have won the favor of many film critics, they have not won the award.
The judges' evaluation of "Hapless Sex, Crazy Pornography" was "wild, intelligent and childish, geometric and energetic, just right distortion."
It shocks the viewer, provokes disagreements and leaves no room for anyone ’ s safety. ”
The jury also added that the film inspires our zeitgeist “by beating, by setting off the challenge of dueling. ”
Whether the audience can accept such a challenge remains to be seen.

NASA ’ s Chinese Director Shares Mars Mission With Double R Operation Perseverance
|
Jeng Yen, director of the robotic interface and visualization team of the Mars rover, told reporters at an online meeting on the 6th that the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) "Perseverance" (Perseverance) rover landed on Mars recently. It is stipulated that the rover cannot bring any organisms from Earth to Mars. It is also required to take protective measures during Mars sampling and strictly abide by the code of practice to avoid the oolong event that "life on Earth has been found on Mars".
Since 2003, he has participated in the Mars exploration four times, strictly stated that the Mars exploration mission is to find out whether the local conditions may be suitable for the existence of life, and find out whether there is life; his work with the team is by programming instructions in the control center, to the rover to work on Mars.
Strictly speaking, if life or water is found on outer planets, it must be a big news to blow the earth.
The Overseas Chinese Cultural and Educational Service Center in New York and the New York Chapter of the Overseas Youth Cultural Volunteers Association (FASCA) held an online meeting on the 6th, inviting Yan to share and popularize the relevant knowledge about the landing of the "Perseverance" on Mars on the 18th of last month.
The meeting attracted many young students and Chinese to participate, and the people were full of curiosity about the serious work.
Strictly introduced, the night temperature of Mars is too low, the staff must enter the program at night, so that the Mars rover can detect the surrounding environment during the day, "daytime work can reduce energy loss."
He also said that Mars does not have a GPS positioning system, and can only use technology such as virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) and 3D to get the rover to the designated location.
"Oxygen on Mars is extremely thin, humans can't breathe, if you want to land on Mars, you need to master the technology of converting carbon dioxide into oxygen," said Yan, "At present, universities such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have been working on related research, and future generations may have the opportunity to witness this historical moment."
From Taiwan, his father was a naval officer, later died in an accident, his mother also died when he was young. He grew up in the Huaxing Nursery School, and later enrolled in Jianguo High School and Tsinghua University. After graduating, he applied for a scholarship to study in the United States, and obtained a Ph.D. in Mathematics and Mechanics from the University of Iowa.
Chen Yongfeng, director of the OCBC Cultural and Educational Center, said he hopes to solemnly share this sharing to set an example for Chinese youths and encourage them to devote themselves to scientific research in the future.

|
Author: Jessica Tse Last updated: 2021-03-09 12: 00 COVID-19 has been raging around the world since last year, and prevention measures have reduced contact with people and caused mental health problems.
Last year, the number of suicides in Japan rose for the first time in 11 years, to 21,077, 2.5 times the number of deaths from COVID-19.
Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga recently appointed Sakamoto, the Minister of Innovation and Development, as the "Minister for Solitary Affairs".
Sakamoto held his first meeting on February 12 to discuss how to solve the problem of loneliness and isolation in Japanese society.
The Office of Solitude and Isolation Measures of the new cabinet was officially established on February 16. (FNN screenshot) The Office of Solitude and Isolation Measures of the new cabinet was officially established on February 16.
These include the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare ’ s Suicide Prevention Program and the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries ’ Food Bank, which will focus on children and adolescents, the elderly and women.
Download the “Hong Kong 01 ” app to see how Japan ’ s new policy is modeled on the UK ’ s support for the lonely.
The United Kingdom is committed to solving the problem of loneliness, mainly because it believes that loneliness can cause serious harm to the health of individuals and can also cause great economic losses to the community as a whole.
The number of suicides in Japan reached 21,077 in 2020, the first increase in 11 years, and even 2.5 times the number of deaths from COVID-19, with the most significant increases among women and primary and secondary school students, they said.
According to foreign media reports, Japanese women feel more stress than men during the epidemic, and the reasons for the rise in women's suicide rate are related to unemployment and isolation.
During the epidemic, Japanese women felt more pressure than men, and the reason for the rise in female suicide rates was related to unemployment and isolation. (Getty Images) The social isolation caused by COVID-19 deepened the loneliness and isolation that had existed in Japanese society for more than 30 years because of the changes.
But since the 1990s, society has gradually turned to small families, and the relationship with the neighborhood has been diluted, and the relationship between people can be "chosen according to their preferences."
Experts say: “Modern relationships are becoming more and more about the need for sustained effort to maintain the favor of others, and this relationship has been exacerbated by the pneumonia epidemic. ”
In fact, Japanese experts have observed that solitary death will significantly worsen after major disasters, with the exception of the new coronavirus, such as the 1995 Hanshin earthquake and the 2001 Fukushima nuclear accident.
+ 4 + 4 + 4 is becoming negative due to psychological emotions, which will affect physical health.
In one study, the risk of various diseases is higher than that of the average person once in a state of loneliness, such as a 26% increase in mortality, a 29% increase in the risk of coronary artery disease, a 32% increase in the risk of stroke, and a 64% increase in the risk of amnesia.
These risks are even higher than smoking 15 cigarettes a day, or drinking alcohol or obesity.

She is now out of the dark, writing about her mental health issues and has a steady job.

They are expected to take on the responsibility of caring for their children and doing housework, which makes it difficult for them to develop a career. Some women “voluntarily ” choose part-time or less important positions to retain more time to care for their families and reduce their income to obtain the tax deduction provided by the government for married families.

Japanese women who work part-time or stop working due to childbirth keep their average salary roughly unchanged from late 20s to 60s.
Korean women are in the same situation.
In November 2018, French media reported that a university graduate named Casey Lee was harassed because of her female identity when she applied for a job. Some interviewers complained that women tended to resign once they had children, and some interviewers criticized her as an "irresponsible young woman" who gave up "having children for the future of the country."
Some of the cases heard by Korean courts in recent years have also seen large companies deliberately eliminate female candidates in recruitment, including three large banks and the state-run Korea Gas Safety Corporation.
A group of women who are more vulnerable in the recession may not get the same treatment even if they get a job.
Research on Japanese Labor Policy.
According to the 2018 International Labor Comparison Report, Japanese women ’ s salaries in 2016 were only 73% of men ’ s, and Korean women ’ s salaries were only 68.6%.
Long-term lower income means that savings will be relatively small.
According to a June 2019 study by the World Economic Forum, Japanese women ’ s retirement savings will be exhausted 20 years before they die, and normal people will feel uncertain about their lives in this situation.
Young Taek Kim, a researcher at the Korean Women ’ s Development Institute, believes that women tend to lack money and social resources compared to men, both of which are necessary for good health.
This makes them more vulnerable to all the problems created by the recession.
↓ Want to know the lives of people or leaders in other places during the epidemic, please click to enlarge to watch: unpaid work increases stress and poverty can easily make people feel insecure about life, but it may be other reasons that ultimately lead to women losing their lives.
Japan ’ s police agency found that of 485 female suicides with known causes of suicide in August 2020, only 29 were directly related to poverty, and 380 were due to depression and other health problems.
In addition to worrying about income during the pandemic, women with families also need to spend more time on unpaid work, such as caring for children who are studying at home and preventing family members from contracting diseases.
This will increase their mental pressure.
Japanese university student Koki Ozora opened a 24-hour mental health helpline in March 2020, receiving an average of more than 200 calls a day, mostly from women.
He said the most common request for help in April was for mothers to feel pressured to raise their children, and some even admitted to wanting to kill their children.

Know your situation – there is no future.
The COVID-19 crisis may end soon, but she believes that even if the epidemic ends, it will not help her much.
Psychiatrist Toshiko Kamo said in the report that "no future" may explain better than any single direct reason why the number of female suicides has soared.
According to Toshiko Kamo, a global pandemic causes more fear than a local natural disaster.
“What escape routes are there? Families, maybe, but isolated families become some kind of prison, sowing the seeds of family tension and exacerbating it, which puts pressure on women, especially as traditional housewives and caregivers, ” she said.

Oppressed by the Nazis to sell the paintings of the French proactively "returned" master Klimt at a price
|
(Reuters) - France returns Austrian artist Gustav Klimt ’ s painting “The Rose under the Tree ” to his legal heir before the war. (Reuters) - French authorities have announced that the painting by Austrian artist Gustav Klimt will be returned to his legal heir because it was sold under Nazi Germany ’ s oppression.
According to the BBC, Klimt ’ s work “The Rose Under the Tree ” was owned by Nora Stiasny, a member of the well-known Jewish family in Austria before World War II, and was inherited from his industrialist and art collector uncle.
Please continue reading...
After the annexation of Austria by the Nazis in 1938, Steosny sold her paintings at a low price, but she was sent to a concentration camp in Poland in 1942.
France, for its part, bought it in 1980 as a collection of the Musée d'Orsay, the only Klimt painting in France.
French Culture Minister Roselyne Bachelot said that the return of the painting was a recognition of the suffering endured by people at the time, and the work itself was a testimony to the many shattered lives of the Nazi era. “Today we realize that this is a work that was looted from Austria in 1938. ”
For reference, another painting by Klimt, Flower Garden, sold for nearly £48 million at Sotheby ’ s in 2017.

More Nazi-looted art found in German collector's home
|
Image copyright BBC World Service Image caption Gullit's lawyers have arranged to secure the house where art was found in Salzburg and dozens of masterpieces believed to have been looted by the Nazis have been found in a house belonging to German Gullit in Salzburg, Austria.
Gullit's newly discovered oil paintings in his house in Austria include works by Renault, Monet and Picasso.
A spokesman for Gullitt, who is more than 80 years old, said experts are examining the newly discovered artworks to see if they were looted by the Nazis during World War II.
He said that after preliminary tests, no such suspicions were confirmed.
In March 2012, during a tax investigation of Gurlitt, German authorities found about 1,400 pieces of art in his apartment, including some of the master ’ s works.
These masters included Marc chagall, Otto Dix, Max Liebermann and Henri Matisse, Picasso, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.
Many of the collections are believed to have been confiscated or looted during the Nazi regime, with an estimated value of $1.35 billion.
Gurlitt has said that the collection is the legacy of his father, who obtained the works through legal means, and he legally owns the collection himself.
His father, Hildebrandt, was an art dealer in Munich who sold art that had been confiscated or acquired by the Nazis.
Investigators are still trying to identify the original owners of the collection.
German media reported that Gullitt's lawyers had arranged for the security of the house where the artwork was found in Salzburg.

Art Talk ● 6 hours of daily practice with no teacher, one black line turned out portrait painting ｜ Apple Daily
|
“I am a commercial artist. ” A confession that most full-time artists in Hong Kong would not dare to admit, is proudly uttered by Alfred Cheng. Alfred is a line artist, and for him, the price does not have the vulgar smell of copper that denigrates art, which he believes is a practical respect for his work.
Alfred ’ s first line painting was completed in 2017, a year after he had taught himself to thread portraits. It features a portrait of Loki, the hero of Marvel, who uninterruptedly outlines the portrait ’ s facial shadow on a white circular frame of 50 cm in diameter and 257 nailed nails, with a black line of about 6,000 meters. Portraits of famous movie characters such as Harry Potter, Hermione, Ron, and star Audrey Chapin, he pulls out with a constant thread.
Alfred and the origin of line painting as early as 2016, when he inadvertently saw the Greek artist Petros Vrellis line painting, Alfred initially thought that it was made by drawing lines with a pen, but a closer look at the introduction and found a misunderstanding, "I have loved painting since childhood, but never thought that a daily article can be so useful in art, that moment has a great impact on me.."
Later, Alfred's line painting was reported by the international news media Insider, but before becoming a line painting artist, Alfred was a dietitian.
He worked as a dietitian at three companies, but all left after a year because he was not satisfied with the prospects of the industry.
Later, Alfred went into the beauty business, but a few years later, he began to feel that the business was boring and wanted to find a challenging and self-fulfilling job.
The mahjong table is not a mainstream art, so there is no workshop or special equipment for Alfred to learn and use. From 2017 to now, the tools he used are self-made: pull the black line from the wire ring of a mobile phone rack on the top of the head, through the three sheep eye nails on the right side of the mahjong table, and stabilize the line. Over 250 nailed knots are placed on the tabletop turntable, and then quickly rotate the turntable to pull out the five senses and essence of the portrait in a continuous line.
Line painting is actually the first computer technology to increase the original pattern of black and white contrast, to shadow to form the outline of the image, and then according to the algorithm calculation, with the line around the frame of the nail, to constantly overlap the straight line to make shadow, curve and other effects.
Alfred, who was a nutritionist and had zero knowledge of algorithms, began by teaching himself computer knowledge and drawing skills for five to six hours a day.
Alfred ’ s solo exhibition was just held at the end of February, and he started working around the clock, even all night.
When one of his works was about to be finished and ready to take it up, he suddenly heard the sound of “pop ” — the sound of the wooden bars breaking — the frame in front of him was broken because it couldn ’ t withstand the pull and weight of the line.“ I knew at that moment that I was in a hurry, pulling the line too hard, but it couldn ’ t be remedied. ”
At first, when learning to draw lines, Alfred sometimes failed, because the drawing tool of line painting only has one line, in addition to breaking the line, killing the knot, but also because of the looseness of the line and affecting the outline of the previous step. "Pull an eye, but it may cause the originally drawn lips to turn from top to bottom, and the whole smiling face will collapse into crying." After finishing a painting, I found that the essence of the portrait did not match the photos provided by the guests. "If I had been more precise in my computer calculations, this would not have happened."
In the end, he had to admit to the guests that he could not finish as scheduled, and then he tore the painting in anger.
Today, more than three years later, Alfred has been able to draw portraits precisely in line, but he says that graphic portraits are not the end of his work.
In addition to his own graphic paintings, his studio also has a small black cabinet with high feet, on which there is a three-dimensional black frame, hooked in the middle, is a three-dimensional heart drawn by wires.
"I think I will never find the limit of online creation in my life."
Alfred pursues detail in portrait painting, but in the art of three-dimensional installation, he pursues the expression of thought and emotion.
He pointed out that the difference between a painter and an artist is that a painter can paint a portrait of a person to 100 points similar, all the details are the same, which is technically superb, but the level of the artist, technology is not the first, but to give people inspiration, cause everyone to think and feel is the value.
Alfred's black-and-white portraits put celebrities first, because of the high degree of recognition of celebrities; painting by line, in addition to interest, is also because line painting in commercial art, the competition is small, a piece of work can be sold for more than 10,000 yuan.
To him, line painting is an important art, and the strategy behind it is equally important. "For commercialization, I am proud to say that it is necessary.
Now the unfinished three-dimensional installation of the heart is not done at the request of the guests, but it is also because he has the guests to make a customized graphic portrait that he has the power and space to continue to do other works of art.
Alfred ’ s first solo exhibition ended in early March. Whether it is a promotional leaflet or an exhibition site, the price will be marked next to each painting. In the preparation of the exhibition, he was also worried about the value of the exhibits, because this exhibition is different from the size and painting method of the black-and-white portraits he made in the past. The size of the display is very small, so you can hold the frame with one palm.
When online painting is not mainstream and he wants to make a small work for the first time, he is also worried that the price is not reasonable.
Regarding the pricing criteria, Alfred said: “Of course, you don ’ t set a hundred thousand dollars for no reason … After comparing other works, how much do you think this painting is worth, you confidently set the price. ” He feels that online comments, likes or shares are a kind of support, but if someone appreciates and buys his painting at the same time, even if a guest takes a photo to tell him that he has hung the painting at home, this support. Make sure he has the motivation to keep going.

Shenzhou Watch: Plastic Surgery Failed to Talk about Unlicensed Doctors Playing Missing ｜ Comments ｜ Hong Kong and Macau ｜ on.cc
|
Thirty-six minutes to go.
The two women in Wuhan, Hubei Province, had failed to perform rhinoplasty surgery at a local cosmetic hospital earlier, and were indignant to come to the door to discuss the matter. Only then did they know that the operating room was temporarily rented and the doctors involved were even operating without a license. Investigate the incident.
It is reported that the two sufferers were initially introduced by a friend to the Gymera medical and cosmetic out-patient department involved in the case for a rhinoplasty, which cost a total of 85,000 yuan.
The doctors involved then used words to perfunctory, and said that they would find another place for them to repair, give compensation, etc., for more than half a year, and finally at the end of last month promised to go to the yellow crane when the deadline came, and nothing was realized, so that the two people did not know what to do.
For the unscrupulous actions of unlicensed practitioners, the authorities will certainly not be easy to let go, and find people out, and it is also fair and proper; the key is how to prevent the recurrence of similar chaos, better protect the rights and health of consumers, and reduce the chance of recurrence of accidents.
For example, in the case of unlicensed medical practice, does the authorities have to wait for the incident to occur before taking any action?
It should be noted that this situation is very prominent in the medical and beauty industry, many failed surgeries are related to the unlicensed practice of medicine, and even become life-saving surgery, directly killing people, who is allowing them to abuse the role and harm innocent people?
Search media reports found that similar incidents had occurred in the cosmetic hospital involved, and a foreign woman who traveled to Wuhan spent tens of thousands of yuan in exchange for a "disfigurement trip", and then needed to travel to and from Wuhan many times, so that she was exhausted, and I did not know whether it could be repaired successfully.
One cannot help but ask, did the authorities investigate or rectify this in the first place?
How strong is it?
In this incident, Wuhan Jimera Medical and Cosmetic Outpatient Department said that it was only renting the surgery room to the other side, and it did not participate in the surgery itself. The implication is that we do not need to be responsible for this, but is it really so?
In accordance with the relevant management regulations, acts such as leasing, outsourcing of departments and equipment are illegal; in the end, it is most important to make money, even if there is a bad track in the past, it can still change the method to continue to mess.
It is an indisputable fact that while the medical and cosmetic industry in the Mainland is developing in a blowout manner, the problem is also endless. Some organizations and personnel without qualification can carry out related business, illegally practice medicine, or even "black clinics"; and some medical and aesthetic institutions, even if legal, are actually empty shells. There are very few medical professionals, which is seriously out of touch with the market demand, and it is easy to create chaos.
In addition, we need to remind some beauty lovers that cosmetic surgery must choose a regular hospital, which is also an attitude that is responsible for itself, after all, once the trick, it is not easy to talk about the law, money and hard work, lessons learned, can not be careless.

Google co-founder Brin to build the world's largest aircraft this year
|
Google co-founder Brin founded LTA in 2017 to develop and build the world ’ s largest aircraft. (Getty Images) Google co-founder Brin loves airplanes.
Since leaving Google, the ninth richest person in the world has focused on building giant aerial vehicles.
According to reports, Brin's first prototype, called Pathfinder 1, may take off from the skies over Silicon Valley as soon as this year.
It is also the largest aircraft in the world today.
The media first noticed Brin ’ s large spacecraft project at NASA Ames Research Center in 2017, when everything was mysterious.
But just a few weeks ago, Brin ’ s aircraft company, LTA Research and Exploration, released more details.
First, Bryn plans to use the aircraft for humanitarian relief and disaster relief efforts, especially in remote areas, where aircraft and ships cannot easily reach due to limited or destroyed local infrastructure.
Unlike jet aircraft, aircraft can land or transport cargo almost anywhere.
In addition, the aircraft is targeted as a zero-emission alternative to aircraft for transporting cargo and personnel.
In recent years, climate change has made aircraft more attractive to scientists, although they are slower than airplanes, faster than cargo ships and emit less emissions than ships and planes.
In fact, aircraft emissions are 80-90% less than the average aircraft.
Second, Brin led the development of the aircraft about 650 feet long, will be the world's largest aircraft today.
Although it is smaller than the 1930s Hindenburg airship, which is 804 feet long.
But Pathfinder 1 is more than three times the length of a Boeing 747 and more than four times the length of a Goodyear Blimp.
It has been revealed that the construction cost of Pathfinder 1 is as high as 150 million yuan.
At present, Bryn has net assets of more than $86 billion.
Third, Brin's latest aircraft will also use hydrogen material. In 1937, the German Hindenburg airship using hydrogen crashed and caught fire in the air, killing 36 people.
Since the disaster, most aircraft have used helium as a takeoff gas, although hydrogen is cheaper and more powerful than helium.
However, LTA aircraft uses hydrogen, not as Hindenburg used for buoyancy, but as a fuel to avoid carrying heavier lithium batteries.
The aircraft still uses conventional helium to provide lift.
However, although the LTA has applied for registration of the prototype Pathfinder 1 in 2019, it can carry 14 people.
But the first fuel-cell-powered aircraft is still unknown when it will hit the road, as it has not yet been registered with the Federal Aviation Administration.

Aileen's humor.
|
There is a whole row of Zhang Ailing's books on my bookshelf, the essays of novels published by China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, and the reviews of her biography written by others.
"Love in the city" has such a sentence: "You are still young, it does not matter, in a few years old." "Golden Lock" she wrote: "Your new sister-in-law's two lips, cut down a large plate."
"She is good at capturing the daily trivial anomalies, let people see and laugh after a deeper reflection, her humor is sometimes a little mean, but not shallow."
Zhang Ailing's humor is getting more and more attention, and some people take her and Lu Xun, saying that she is a female Lu Xun.
Their words have explosive power to shock people, and humor makes people need to think deeply.
In addition to her unique female life experience, Zhang Ailing can see the ridiculousness and sadness in the worldly human feelings, and it is her characteristic to convert casual local slang into life philosophy.
There are also people who compare her and Lao She's social care humor, and Qian Zhongshu's ingenious understanding of life's marriage views, she and these two people are equally brilliant and funny. Jia Pingwa commented on Zhang Ailing's humor when he said accurately: "It is difficult to guess where her strange thoughts came from, the sense of continuity is constantly flashing, and the composition of the stone floats in a series of water." A series of water flowers. "
Hemingway mentioned that the most important thing in writing a novel is to have compassion and a sense of humor. Humor is an indispensable aesthetic presence in real life and the art world, and even the entire spiritual realm.
Zhang Ailing has been inspired by Western literature, and can master it accurately in terms of taste, making the style of humor in the novel unique, intriguing, and funny with reality, and containing philosophy in strange words, and mixing right and wrong in laughter.
She never laughed, nor would she be too wild, seemingly random words insinuating the philosophy of life.
Her interesting quotes include: "All love at first sight comes from a visual deviation", "Life in your hand like a jumping fish, you want to catch it and smell", "Love is the love debt of my last life, this life to pay, I must be vulgar in my last life, so that I have no debt to pay in this life", "teaching is very difficult, but also to play," To be human "," these days can not be written, like suffering from mental constipation "," although the people who have lost love are different, but looking at the stars is the only difference. "
She once said, “There ’ s always time for things to be done, ” which was later changed to:“ Time is like a cleavage, and there ’ s always time to be squeezed. ”
Aileen is smiling.
When she lived alone in Los Angeles, she wrote for Taiwan ’ s “Crown ” magazine, which sent her books. She loved to read jokes and comics interspersed with them.
In the "Contrast" (Laughter), she mentioned a joke in the magazine that someone called the home of the Minister of Education at the time and asked the minister to listen to the phone. The minister with a very heavy voice answered at home and said: "I just don't talk (Minister)." The other person said: "Why do you have to answer the phone if you don't talk?"
Zhang Ailing is fond of humor, in the "aunt's statement", remember the funny sentences in her aunt's words.
Friends from the early years of Chang Ai-ling's old film "North and South Family", and Lin Dai starring "Love Field Like a Battlefield", Ye Feng starring "Peach Blossom Fortune", are regarded as the light and noble comedy of the time, only her special sense of humor can be written.

The number of suicides in 2020 has increased again after 11 years
|
The year 2020 is a year of great changes in people ’ s living environment.
It is not only manifested in daily life, perhaps some people even their own life plans have been completely disrupted.
The number of female suicides increased by 885 from the previous year.
The number of suicides nationwide in Japan in 2020 increased by 750 (3.7%) compared to 2019 to 20,919 (estimate).
After Lehman, the number of suicides in Japan has fallen for 10 consecutive years since 2009, and this time it is the first time in 11 years that the number has exceeded the previous year.
The number of suicides per 100,000 population (suicide mortality rate) also rose again after 11 years, reaching 16.6.
The number of male suicides decreased by 135 from the previous year to 13,943, the 11th consecutive year of decline.
On the other hand, the number of female suicides increased by 885 year-on-year to 6,976.
According to the analysis, this may be due to changes in living environment caused by the expansion of the COVID-19 epidemic, as well as increased psychological burdens such as fear of future job insecurity.
The number of suicides among women and men increased by 660 to 2,199 in October, compared with the same period last year.
This may be due to the impact of previous celebrity suicides.
According to prefectures, the suicide mortality rate is highest in Yamanashi and Iwate prefectures, at 22.3, and lowest at 13.5 in Kanagawa prefectures.
Tokyo and Osaka had 16.1 and 15.7 respectively.
As of 1997, the annual number of suicides in Japan has remained at about 20,000 for many years, but since 1998, the annual number has exceeded 30,000 for 14 consecutive years and reached 34,427 in 2003, a record high.
Since then, the number of suicides has been on the decline for 10 consecutive years, thanks to the economic recovery and preventive measures taken in various localities and the strengthening of the counselling system.
The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare pointed out that suicide is a social problem, and most people choose to die because they are driven to the end of the road, and many are preventable, so it is trying to take measures jointly with health, medical care, welfare, education, labor and other relevant departments to promote comprehensive suicide prevention measures.
On the homepage of the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Welfare, “Let ’ s Protect the Mind Together ”, a window for psychological counseling using social networks (SNS) such as LINE or the telephone is summarized, and various suicide countermeasures are provided in a concise and understandable manner.

Loneliness ● Discussion ｜ “I ’ m afraid I ’ ll kill my children ”, the pressure of the women epidemic has increased, and Japan has set up a department to deal with it ｜ Apple Daily
|
"I am worried that I will kill my own child." A Japanese mother was emotionally unstable, and asked for help on the online counseling platform to express her contradictory and terrible worries, and it turned out that more than one mother had such terrible thoughts.
In the past year, the Wuhan pneumonia epidemic has exacerbated the gap between people, and the family is trapped under the same roof all day. The relationship is not becoming more intimate, but because the friction has become more alienated and lonely. Even Jiang Tao also launched the song "Loneliness Disease" to talk about loneliness.
Last year, the number of suicides in Japan rose for the first time since 2009, and the number of people who committed suicide due to “loneliness ” increased by more than 30% year-on-year. In mid-February, the Japanese government announced the establishment of the“ Solitude and Isolation Response Chamber ”, with “100 million active ministers ” Sakamoto Tetsuji as minister.
“I feel like I ’ m going to be poor again, and I can ’ t see the end of the tunnel. ” 43-year-old Eriko Kobayashi, who was plagued by emotional problems, committed suicide four times in the past, but she was originally out of the emotional haze and published a comic to explain other people who wanted to die.
She criticized Japanese society for neglecting women, and often "cutting" the most vulnerable women in times of adversity.
It is true that compared with men, retail, tourism, hotels, catering and other industries with more female employees are seriously affected by the epidemic, and young female employees can not go to work, even if they live with their families, friction with their families has increased under the epidemic, and even domestic violence by male family members.
The founder of Anata no Ibasho, a Japanese online counseling platform, said that since last summer, more and more women have turned to the platform for help, and children are also unhappy because they are unable to go to school. The Bond Project, a counseling organization in Yokohama, also said that many people have called for help in recent months, saying that they feel lonely and painful and that they want to die.
"Your Place" platform has received many women's help, some mothers admit that they are "worried that they will kill their children", some women said that they hate themselves after being sexually assaulted by their parents, and some even said that "my husband wants to kill me."
He believes that the root cause of the suicide problem is loneliness, and said that many Japanese people do not understand the difference between healthy "solitude" and "loneliness" that cause trouble, and expect the government to follow up.
Women, children and part-time workers have become the most vulnerable groups in society. We urge the government to strengthen the social safety net, and the media should not over-report celebrity suicides so as not to create a copycat effect.
According to the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, 21,077 suicides were recorded in Japan last year, an increase of 11 years after 2009, with a marked increase in the number of suicides in the second half of the year and a peak of nearly 2,200 in October.
After analyzing the motives of suicides, the authorities found that 434 people committed suicide because of "loneliness", an increase of 31.5% year-on-year, and the number of primary and secondary school students who committed suicide also increased to 479, an increase of 41.3% year-on-year.
In terms of gender distribution, the number of female suicides increased by 15% year-on-year, offsetting the decline in the number of male suicides.
The proportion of families living alone is expected to increase to 40%. Working from home weakens social structure and culture in Japan also encourages suicide.
Japan ’ s population living alone has continued to grow in recent years, and it is estimated that by 2040, families living alone will account for 40% of all households, nearly double the number in 1970.
Japanese social culture itself tends to be isolated, coupled with long working hours, and people find it difficult to make other friends. Therefore, most of the people living alone rarely communicate with their neighbors, and most of their social life revolves around work.
A study published in February by Tokushima University in Japan found that about half of respondents said they were under severe stress during the pandemic and were tired of staying at home for long periods of time, and 11.5% said they felt that their emotional problems had reached the point where they needed medical help.
Advocating the concept that "the responsibility of loneliness is not their own" When Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga announced the establishment of a loneliness and isolation countermeasures room, he mentioned that the number of women in the epidemic of loneliness and suicide increased, hoping that Sakamoto Tetsuki proposed comprehensive measures.
Some members of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party have also proposed the establishment of an inter-departmental meeting to strengthen support for the lonely and reconnect them with their communities.
They pointed out that social isolation is related to a variety of causes such as rapid changes in living conditions, poverty, domestic violence, etc., and the government should send the message to citizens that the responsibility of loneliness is not its own, and hope that the government will take lasting measures.
In addition to Japan, the UK also set up a "Minister of Loneliness" in 2018, which is not a cabinet post, to explore the problem of loneliness. Prime Minister Theresa May said at the time that as many as 9 million people in the UK often feel lonely. Since then, the British Secretary of State for Loneliness has introduced more than 100 measures to address the problem of loneliness, such as funding to local groups to let young people teach the elderly. Use the computer and instruct the postman to communicate more with the elderly.
Japan should follow the example of the United Kingdom and set clear definitions and measures for loneliness and isolation, and should not rely solely on psychiatric theory as a policy basis, Okemoto said.
There are also voices in Australia advocating the establishment of a dedicated official to deal with the problem of loneliness. Fiona Patten, a local MP, proposed in 2018 to create more loneliness ministers at the local level to improve social isolation, and the opposition Labor Party proposed the establishment of a federal anti-loneliness minister in the 2019 Australian election platform.
Labor MP Andrew Giles said the government should strengthen community ties and expect politicians to take the challenge of loneliness seriously.
Michelle, Senior Lecturer in Clinical Psychology, Swinburne University of Technology, Australia.
According to Michelle H. Lim, more than half of people in Australia feel lonely at least one day a week, describing loneliness as a problem that can affect society and can be “passed on from person to person ”. It is recommended that Australia ’ s public health policy include a part to deal with loneliness, correct people ’ s misconceptions about loneliness, and understand that being alone can also be healthy.

We are over 65 years old, the COVID-19 vaccine has been given two doses, and after three weeks, the vaccine began to take effect, so we began to go out to Chinese restaurants to eat at the weekend, and also went to the Chinese supermarket near the restaurant to buy vegetables.
We went to a well-known Chinese restaurant and ordered local dishes such as oyster omelette, stinky tofu, salted soy milk, glutinous rice ball and so on.
When the winter weather was cold, I put a vest on my shirt.
Taking off my thick jacket in the restaurant, my wife noticed that my vest was on the reverse.
After lunch, I took out my wallet in my shirt pocket to pay the bill, and went to a nearby Chinese supermarket to buy vegetables.
At the checkout, I took out the wallet in my shirt pocket to pay the bill.
Finish the food and go home to rest.
I used to take a nap in the afternoon.
While I was sleeping, suddenly the phone rang loudly at home, the clerk at the Chinese supermarket called and said that my wallet was left in the store, with a driver ’ s license (with a photo), several credit cards, and a little cash.
The clerk said that other customers found it in the supermarket parking lot, and they asked the store to help find the owner.
This wallet I have kept in the pocket of my shirt chest for decades, even when I travel all over the world, it is always in the pocket of my shirt chest.
Some people like to put their wallets in their pants pockets, and some people put their pockets on the bottom of their pants, but I think they are vulnerable to pickpockets, especially on the bottom, which is particularly dangerous.
So what happened that day?
My wife noticed that I was wearing the reverse vest, and that was the reason.
When I put my wallet back in my chest pocket, it is very likely that it will fall out of my pocket because of the resistance of the anti-wear vest.
If the vest is worn on the opposite side, the opening is lower, and the wallet will easily slide into the pocket.
How can a clerk at a Chinese supermarket find my phone number?
Because my memory of numbers has always been poor, I put a small note in my wallet, which read "boss", "penis", etc., followed by a ten-digit phone number.
A Chinese supermarket clerk immediately called his eldest son, who lives in New York City.
At that time, the eldest son was resting and recuperating, and saw a strange phone call coming in, thinking that it was a “harassment call ” or maybe a“ scam call ”, and he did not answer it.
The other end of the phone is a hundred thousand urgent, leave a message several times, the eldest son listened to the message of others, know that the situation is serious, quickly return, the supermarket clerk called me.
We immediately rushed back to the Chinese supermarket to find the clerk to collect the wallet.
The clerk said that it was not easy to find me on the phone, and I took out a little cash in my wallet and gave him a tip to thank him.
The clerk refused to accept, saying that he had handled many customers' lost wallets, and that some people still had thousands of dollars in cash, and he refused to accept any payment because that was what he had to do.
This is the first time I have lost my wallet in decades to the United States. If I cannot find it, it is very troublesome. Fortunately, there are many well-meaning people in society, and it is only after I have lost my wallet.
However, we have been blessed by others, and we must always do good deeds and give back to society.

Japanese schoolchildren commit suicide in 2020, setting a record
|
After the declaration of a state of emergency was issued by the government of the Information Bank of Japan, schools were closed for a long time.
Neither can participate in community activities, nor can they travel with their families, and they can only spend day after day at home.
The energy is nowhere to be released, and the children undoubtedly feel different from the pressure of the adults.
Based on the suicide statistics of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Science and Technology calculated that in 2020, a total of 479 primary and junior high school students committed suicide, an increase of 140 over the previous year, a record high.
Among them, there were 14 primary school students (6 in the previous year), 136 middle school students (96 in the previous year), and 329 high school students (237 in the previous year).
In particular, there were 138 girls in high school, more than double the 67 in the previous year.
In June, 45 students, 64 students in August, 53 students in September and 48 students in November were the most prominent.
On the other hand, the number of suicides affected by mental illness and depression increased compared with the previous year.
The Ministry of Education, Culture, Science and Technology believes that the impact of COVID-19 has led to an increase in the number of suicides among primary and secondary school students to a certain extent, and will conduct a detailed analysis.
In addition, it will also actively promote the free consultation window "24-hour child SOS hotline" (0120-0-78310) that can also accept children's counseling at night and holidays, and improve the construction of school psychological counselors, and strengthen the school's care and guidance.

Taiwan Railway derailment _ Taiwan Affairs Office consolation: highly concerned about the mainland's cold-blooded netizens' derision "Taiwan independence is dead" is a black heart _ Apple Daily
|
At least 36 people were killed when the Taiwan Railway Taroko train 408 was traveling through the Qingshui Tunnel in Xiulin Township, Hualien County this morning when an engineering vehicle slipped off a hillside, causing a serious derailment.
After the news spread, the mainland media have quoted Taiwan media related reports, but deliberately in the film on the "China Taiwan", for the tragedy to strengthen the political meaning; more mainland netizens cold-blooded ridicule: "If it is Taiwan independence, it is good", and then other conscientious netizens scolded "black heart", and thousands of netizens praised.
Including CCTV, Xinhua and other official media, respectively cited Hualien official and Taiwan media reports on the derailment.
Ma Xiaoguang, spokesman for the National Taiwan Affairs Office, said that the relevant mainland parties are highly concerned and concerned about the follow-up rescue progress, and expressed condolences and condolences to the casualties caused by the accident.
However, although the incident has nothing to do with cross-strait politics, there are still media and political flavor, deliberately labeled "China Taiwan" on the film; the comment area below is more obvious to see the two sides of the quality of mainland netizens.
Some people sneer that Taiwan's railway safety is not as good as China's: "Accidents are frequent, hidden dangers are not in place, safety management is not in place, safety production education is not in place", "do a good job of building the foundation, whose life is life."
It ’ s been three years since the last train killed many people. ”
Some Little Pink deliberately linked the tragedy to politics: "If the dead were Taiwan independence, it would be better", "God has eyes, the Chinese are OK", "I hope the Chinese are OK".
However, it was immediately scolded by netizens: "You go to see if the heart is black."
Others believe that at this time, the concern about Taiwanese people is just "self-indulgence", and the same is immediately educated by rational netizens: "No matter what country, where natural disasters, human disasters and major accidents occur, we should not be happy about the disaster, because the accident does not know who happened to." 」

Taiwan Railway derailment ｜ KMT takes turns pumping water to delete Lin Jialong: won 't go away ｜ Apple Daily
|
Taiwan Railway Taroko derailment accident, has become the most serious railway accident in decades, people are worried about this, but the Kuomintang did not let go of the opportunity to attack political opponents, the Legislative Yuan Kuomintang group on Facebook to suggest that the Minister of Communications Lin Jialong only seeks compensation for the injured, by a large number of netizens scolded political operations, more than an hour to delete the text; Fang Lun also satirized Lin Jialong in Facebook during his term of office, many accidents are still too good to be alive, and the same netizens scolded and talked about the wind and cold words, and the result was to apologize after 2 hours.
Lin Jialong stressed that rescue is now a priority and will not go away.
The reason for the preliminary investigation of the accident is that the engineering vehicle fell from a height of 20 meters to the track because it did not stop well, causing tragedy, and Taiwan Railway will also seek compensation from the manufacturer.
The Kuomintang group pointed out in a Facebook post earlier, why is it so difficult for people in the east to go home? It also quoted Lin Jialong as saying that Taiwan will ask for compensation, questioning that the latter claims priority, and ignoring the injured.
A post came out, pouring in a large number of netizens to criticize the political operation.
One of the Taiwanese media, Huang Wei-han, also left a message questioning the KMT group "What is the mentality of making this picture?" Huang Wei-han also defended Lin Jia-long, saying that if the derailment is determined to be caused by an engineering car, the claim is reasonable. "After an hour, the National Party committee deleted the article.
However, human beings always have to repeat the same mistake, Tian Fang-lun, former head of the Kuomintang Youth League, also pointed out that since the Minister of Communications Lin Jia-long took office, "experienced a smart passer-by, experienced a snow tunnel crazy for 40 hours, experienced a tour bus road rollover accident, and now there is a Taroko rollover, if he can continue to be minister, is too good life?" “I wouldn ’ t say he was incompetent because he handled the NCC very well. ”
Tian Fanglun ’ s comments caused many netizens to be dissatisfied, and one after another, criticized him for spending major accidents and casualties in the rescue, “First of all, what are you doing? Your level of understanding is lower than the floor? ”,“ At present, it is still saving the disaster, constantly singing, human life is so worthless that you can look down? ”, “What cool talk! ”,“ Such a speech will only lower yourself. ” high with your party. "
As a result, Tian Fang-lun wrote again two hours later, saying that he was also on the train to sweep the tomb of his ancestors, and his feelings were even stronger.
He apologized for the discontent caused by his words, and wished the dead rest and the living peace.
Lin Jialong apologized to the people of Taiwan and stressed that rescue should be given priority at this time, and must cooperate with other units of Taiwan Railway to investigate the incident.
He also said that he will remain in his post at this stage, will not walk away, but will assume all political responsibility.
Lin Jiadao also said that this major accident is shocking, the pain is indescribable, and all the families of the victims and the injured people feel the same, the Ministry of Communications will continue to treat the driver and the injured passengers with the highest standards of compassion.

Dong Xiaoling, president of the Pu Yuma Accident Victims' Rights Protection Association, broke down in tears several times during the interview. Do you have to force people to take to the streets to protest at the Ministry of Communications to know the seriousness of the situation?
Dong Xiaoling said that the derailment of the Taroko caused major casualties? Who should bear the responsibility is the point, not to say that every time something happened to step down to take responsibility, stepping down is not called responsible, when the Pu Yuma overturned incident when the Minister of Communications Wu Hongmou also stepped down, responsible? Even fake happy to go home to sweep the tomb, only the first day this kind of thing happened, became international news, it is a joke.
Dong Xiaoling questioned that the reason for the derailment of the Taroko is suspected to be because the engineering car parked illegally on the hillside, the handbrake did not pull well, causing the vehicle to slide and crash into the train. "Can you do the work on a holiday?"
Dong Xiaoling said that the Minister of Communications Lin Jialong said to stay to assume responsibility, but walk or not, the accident still happened, not to say that things take political responsibility to step down, there will be no dead people, no accident, this death and injury so serious, is the Puyuma accident these 18 souls did not forgive the Taiwan Railway, only will happen again and again.

Japanese primary school student suicides hit record high in 2020
|
After the government issued a declaration of state of emergency, all school principals suspended classes.
Neither can participate in community activities, nor can I travel with my family, and I can only spend day after day at home.
Energetic energy is nowhere to be released, and the children undoubtedly feel different pressure than the adults.
Based on the suicide statistics of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Science and Technology calculated that in 2020, a total of 479 small country high school students committed suicide, an increase of 140 over the previous year, a record high.
Among them, 14 primary school students (6 in the previous year), 136 middle school students (96 in the previous year), and 329 high school students (237 in the previous year).
In particular, there were 138 high school girls, more than double the number of 67 in the previous year.
From the monthly situation, the more prominent is June 45, August 64, September 53, November 48. June is in line with the first emergency declaration of the implementation of the long-term suspension measures to lift the ban, the formal resumption of normal teaching period. August is affected by the long-term suspension of the summer vacation period shortened.
The main reasons for suicide are “anxiety about going to school ”,“ poor grades ” and “discord with parents ”, which is similar to the previous year in general. On the other hand, the number of suicides affected by mental illness and depression has increased compared to the previous year.
The Ministry of Education, Culture, Science and Technology believes that the impact of the new coronavirus epidemic has led to an increase in the number of primary and secondary school students committing suicide to a certain extent, and will be analyzed in detail.
In addition, we will actively promote the "24-hour Children's SOS Hotline" (0120-0-78310), a free consultation window that can also accept elementary and junior high school students at night and holidays, and improve the construction of school psychological counselors and strengthen the school's care and guidance.

Using pigeons as a model … An aeronautical scientist who built a different plane in a rural courtyard
|
A sketch of Wang Qiang ’ s design. (from Zhongxin Weekly) In rural China, a group of stubborn “Don Quixote ” have the same winged dream, and they proudly call themselves“ aeronautics scientists. ”
Xu Bin, a farmer who came from a farm, had a dream that he wanted to fly.
A bold idea began to hover in his head, could he build his own plane?
Considering that his yard is a little small, Xu Bin decided to build a helicopter!
Because it doesn ’ t need a runway.
In 1994, Xu Bin began manufacturing helicopters in a farm yard in the countryside of Jiangshan City, Zhejiang Province, when he was 20 years old.
In Xu Bin's view, building the aircraft is not difficult, "just a few tubes to support, get an engine can fly." From design to manufacturing, Xu Bin spent more than a month to create an ultra-light helicopter - the fuselage is made of scrap iron, the engine is derived from a motorcycle, the propeller is made of wood.
Due to the heavy body and insufficient lift, the helicopter was unable to fly.
In the laughter of his classmates, Xu Bin ended his first test flight, which made him a little discouraged.
Xu Bin realized that building a helicopter was “too far away. ”
Xu Bin is not a lonely "dream pursuer", in rural China, there is a group of people like him, no professional equipment, no hangar, not even understand the dynamics of flight, they buried in their own backyard "dream".
In her photo album Aeronautics in the Backyard, she chronicles the dreams of eight peasant pilots.
Cao Zhengshu, a farmer in Wuquan Village, Yonghe Town, Mianyang Anzhou District, Sichuan, had a dream when he was 15 years old.
In the dream, he found himself in the air, below the wheat fields and villages.
Since then, the dream of flying deeply into his heart.
In 1984, Cao Zhengshu built a simple workshop next to his house and began building aircraft.
From 1984 to 2015, Cao Zhengshu himself had forgotten how many planes he had built.
Countless flights, countless failures.
I don ’ t know why I can ’ t fly on my own plane.
He Dongbiao. (from Zhongxin Weekly) Having never been to school, Cao Zhengshu, who doesn ’ t know a word, can ’ t read professional books, and he can only find the mysteries of flight from the flying bird.
Once, he bought a pigeon, weighed the weight of the pigeon, and calculated the area of the wings.
This time, the wing area of the aircraft he built was proportional to the weight of the aircraft, and the proportion of the body of the pigeon.
However, the plane was not able to leave the ground.
To this day, Cao Zhengshu is still hammering the aircraft in his small repair shed.
Many of the materials used to build airplanes are bought from waste stations, the fuselage is made of light aluminum tubes, the engine is made of cars, and the wheels are modified from the wheels of baby carriages.
The aircraft frame and engine are often "remembered" by thieves, so Cao Zhengshu built a bed in the maintenance shed and slept there every day to guard the aircraft.
When Cao Zhengshu buried himself in building the plane, Wang Qiang of the neighboring village had already made many models of the plane.
These small flying models were chopped by Wang Qiang ’ s mother and burned as firewood.
Once upon a time in a newspaper booth saw a magazine called "Aviation Knowledge", Wang Qiang was fascinated and wanted to understand the principle of flight.
Flying speed, airflow, wingspan area, horsepower … Wang Qiang combined these theories from the magazine with his experience in making models, and he believed that the first plane he built would be able to fly.
At an old airport in the outskirts of Mianyang, Sichuan, Wang Qiang ’ s homemade “Wang Qiang No. 1 ” flew for the first time.
The plane is made of six galvanized tubes, each worth 18 yuan.
The power is the engine of a Yamaha motorcycle. Although it is an old product, Wang Qiang is still full of confidence in it.
Start, pull rod, front wheel off the ground, the flight height is only 2 meters, but the people at the airport are boiling.
After that, Wang Qiang spent another 20,000 yuan and three months building the second plane.
Yuan Xiangqiu. (from Zhongxin Weekly) Seeing Wang Qiang ’ s aircraft design sketch, Xu Xiaoxiao was amazed.
The sketch shows Wang Qiang ’ s self-portrait, with an airplane on his head.
"Very creative!" Seems to Xu Xiaoxiao, these sketches outline not only the outline of the plane, but also the dream of flying.
Xu Xiaoxiao believes that the story of these peasant pilots can be summarized with this sketch.
He has been involved in more than one flight accident.
Once he flew to an altitude of 300 meters, the engine suddenly shut down.
He tried to glide to land, but before he could get the plane to the runway, the plane crashed into the river.
“I had to swim to the shore and try to salvage the plane.
It was cold that day and I was soaked.
I opened the wings and pulled the plane ashore with a rope. "
Su Guibin, a farmer in Chaozhou, Guangdong, also dreamed of owning a helicopter, and the unit price of a second-hand aircraft of more than 800,000 yuan made him retreat, he felt that he should be able to build a plane.
Aircraft parts are made from the East and the West, and even the joystick is “transplanted ” by the gamepad.
"These seven or eight years I took the time to sleep to design, wake up and start working." He made the plane, was opposed from the family, his wife even said to him: You don't drag me down, just divorce!
However, Sugiyama did not waver.
In addition to investing a lot of money, Su Guibin personally tested each aircraft.
This kind of flight is very dangerous, and crashes and bloodshed are a common occurrence for Su Guibin.
An accident occurred during a flight, the plane crashed into a power pole and fell, his nerves were damaged, his lower body lost consciousness, and he could only sleep in bed to recover his injuries.
"I lie in bed for years, there is a mountain at my door, and I dream of flying to the mountain to see the scenery."
One of the first things Su Guibin plans to do after he recovers is to fly a plane.
Jin Shaozhi, a native of Zhejiang, started building airplanes and learning to fly at the age of 64.
He studied aircraft piloting at aviation clubs in Hangzhou, Beijing and Xi'an.
In the next eight years, Kim changed and built five aircraft, all of which were flown by himself.
A flight accident caused Jin Shaozhi to fracture his right calf and rupture his intestine.
After eight months of recuperation, Kim began flying training again.
“I ’ m not crazy, I ’ m passionate about it, ” Kim said.
Jin Shaozhi. (from Sinosin Weekly) The passionate Dutch artist praised the fact that for these private pilots, building an airplane is a “three-loss ” that costs money, costs time, and may even cost lives.
Xu Xiaoxiao believes that taking risks in life is not worth encouraging.
In her opinion, if it is not true love, no one will do such a thing for fun.
Dutch artist Gove Maite said of the aircrafters identified by photographer Xu Xiaoxiao in his photos: “In the countryside all over China, in the most unexpected places, farmers are trying to build their own airplanes.
Instead of doing this in a well-equipped, high-class hangar, they are busy in their own backyard, recycling scrap metal and using the tools at home.
They are self-taught, self-employed and penniless.
These pilots do not care about risk or the possibility of irretrievable failure.
The idea that they have the potential to succeed, and that they can enrich their lives by pursuing their dreams, is enough for them to build airplanes and try to fly until the end of their lives.
They call this lifestyle "life aeronautics."

Hemingway's Myth
|
In 1953, Hemingway was sitting at a dinner table at his camp in Kenya, writing. (NARA, Photographer, Look Magazine) Anyone familiar with American literature and literary criticism should know the iceberg talk about literary creation.
The author of this statement is the famous American writer and Nobel Prize winner Ernest Hemingway.
The main point is that if a writer has a mind about what he wants to write, he can omit something he knows when he creates, and the reader will feel those omissions because the author is writing true.
It is like an iceberg that looks magnificent as it moves in the sea, but in fact only one-eighth of it is out of the water, and the invisible part is more and more real.
In the theory of ancient Chinese poetry creation, there is a saying of "artistic conception", emphasizing the scenes and emotions depicted through the works, stimulating the imagination of the readers, and leaving them a space for full reflection and play.
This is synonymous with the "iceberg theory", but Hemingway emphasized the authenticity of the work, aiming to criticize some writers who seemed to him to be quite incompetent, who simply "omitted something because they did not understand".
Hemingway ’ s “iceberg talk ” actually interprets his own creative style, which is to omit everything he thinks is optional in his writing, and to be as simple and implicit as possible.
This creative style of Hemingway is indeed unique and has had a profound impact, some even said: Hemingway with no one has the courage, "English attached to the literature of the hair cut clean." But what interests me is that he uses the "iceberg" as a metaphor.
This analogy is really good.
What people usually use as metaphors are some common things, such as peach blossoms in "face like peach blossoms" and torches in "eyes like torches". How many people have seen an iceberg?
Three years ago, I went to Alaska to visit, and all I saw was a large piece of ice floe on the sea surface, real sea icebergs, probably only in the South Pole and Arctic areas where ordinary people are difficult to set foot.
However, this parable is also very relevant and can make people understand God.
What you can read in a good work is certainly brilliant, like the magnificence of an iceberg above the surface of the water, but what it contains can be much wider and deeper than the literal meaning, like a much larger body of mountain undersea support.
Without the presence of seven eighths below, there is no beauty at the top.
In the book of Revelation, there is a great deal to be said about the use of metaphors.
He said that the metaphor contains two aspects that are opposite and complementary, and the things that are compared must be the same, otherwise they cannot be joined together; but at the same time, they must be different, otherwise they cannot be distinguished.
As for the interaction between the two, the greater the difference, the more the same thing will be baked; the more open it will be, the more unexpected it will be, the more novel the metaphor will be, and the better the effect will be.
According to the theory of Qian Zhongshu, Hemingway uses the iceberg as a metaphor, and the things that belong to it are "very divided", and it has indeed produced a surprising winning effect, so it is unforgettable.
There are many other examples of this in the metaphor Hemingway has used.
After Hemingway became famous, he often compared himself with other writers, and was quite conceited, many writers he could not see, and only Shakespeare and Tolstoy were really admired.
He did not know this, but used boxing as a metaphor.
He said that he did not want to play Dostoyevsky in the first game, because he knew that Dostoyevsky was almost as good as he was, so he chose to play with Turgenev first because he felt he could play with him.
Then try Maupassant again, although it is difficult, but also can beat him; as for Henry James, he said, "As soon as I catch me, I press him, and immediately give him a blow where he has no meat, so tell the referee to stop the game." Hemingway's words, you can see his confidence.
About him and Cervantes who is stronger, he has a different saying, he believes that 20 rounds of war, you can beat the other side of the fart, but also admitted that Mr. Cervantes is very shrewd, while playing and learning, maybe the second game he will lose to the other side.
In Hemingway ’ s eyes, Shakespeare is the champion who can ’ t beat.
And speaking of Tolstoy, whom he equally admired, he said something different.
He said that if he played six rounds with Tolstoy, the opponent would not want to hit him, but he would be beaten enough, but if he played 20 rounds with Tolstoy, he would be knocked off the ear.
He also said that if he could live to sixty, he might defeat Tolstoy.
I guess Hemingway is probably trying to say that some of his works can win Tolstoy, but in general, they can ’ t talk about each other, unless he can create more good works in the future (need to live longer).
What kind of metaphor is used is often related to the personality and creation style of the user.
Pushkin is an emotional romantic poet, in his short life, wrote many beautiful people's poems.
I noticed that Pushkin often compared his beloved poetry to a harp.
So I thought, it must be because this ancient instrument can play a very moving tune, like a poem to move the heart.
Then because of the occasional experience, I have a new feeling about it.
That time was a trip to the Rocky Mountains, staying at the Castle Hotel by Lake Louise.
In the afternoon, a woman dressed like a classical beauty in a long skirt played the harp in the hotel's glittering lobby. Some of the hotel's guests sat, some stood, and listened.
It was at this moment that I suddenly understood why Pushkin used the harp as a metaphor for poetry, because the scenes and atmosphere in the lobby were so romantic.
Unlike Hemingway, his work has created many images of tough men, and he himself loves tough and exciting activities such as bullfighting, horse racing, boxing and hunting, so it is not surprising that he uses boxing as a metaphor.
However, not all people can use the analogy of the things that are "very divided" as Mr. Qian Zhongshu said.
In other words, the winning or losing of a boxing match and the level of a writer were originally two things that could not be fought with eight poles, but Hemingway "closed" them.
The Nobel laureate often had this idea.
His son once copied Turgenev's work and wrote a novel, which Hemingway did not notice at first, and praised his son after reading it.
Of course, he found out later.
However, when someone asked if his son would write a novel, his father ’ s face smiled and replied, “Gregory (his son ’ s name) sometimes does a little lame proofreading. ” Hemingway said this, and the people on the side laughed heartily.
To call plagiarism “lame proofreading ” is not a metaphor, it is hard to say, but I really admire Hemingway ’ s mental flexibility and language wisdom.
Aristotle said, "Parables are the sign of genius." Hemingway was indeed a genius. (From India)

Taiwan Railway derailment "United Land General Manager Sun Lizhen: Even if someone is at the construction site, we are surprised.
|
The train derailed when it crashed into an engineering vehicle.
Sun Lizhen, general manager of United Land, said that he was most surprised that Taiwan Railway had already announced that all works would be suspended even during the holidays, and United Land also sent staff to confirm according to SOP that it was unexpected that someone would drive a construction vehicle during the holidays. "This is the biggest mistake". (Photo by reporter Dao Jianrong) 2021 / 04 / 06 00: 01 [reporter Huang Yijing / Taipei] Crashing into the engineering vehicle caused a major derailment, and the United Land Engineering Consulting Company, which contracted the design and supervision of the Taiwan Railway slope maintenance project related to the accident, was also named for fear of negligence.
Sun Lizhen, general manager of United Land, said yesterday (5) in an exclusive interview with this newspaper reporter that an engineering vehicle caused the worst casualties in the history of Taiwan's railway, which is quite regrettable and painful, but the most surprising thing is that the Taiwan Railway has already announced that all projects are suspended during the holidays, United Land has also sent personnel to confirm the safety of the shutdown. “That ’ s the biggest mistake. ”
Sun Lizhen: Concurrently the site director is a written review believes that Dongxin As for Li Yixiang, who is in charge of construction, illegally served as the site director, Sun Lizhen said that the list of personnel is provided by Dongxin Construction, and the United Land is conducting a written review to confirm the engineering profession.
As to whether the information was false or incomplete, he stressed that all the questions had been fully cooperated with the investigation by the Ministry of Communications and the investigating unit and explained them.
On the question of inadequate fencing protection at the project site, Mr Suen stressed that the works areas of the Pin Pau Ming Tunnel were fenced in accordance with the contract. As for the slopes used by the construction vehicles, they were pre-existing roads and were not roads created by the project, and whether fencing was required was not specified.
Sun Lizhen stressed that the most important thing is that before the Ching Ming Lian holiday, the Taiwan Railway Bureau has announced in advance that all operators of electrical and mechanical equipment will stop work during the Ching Ming Lian holiday. United Land also sent personnel to confirm that the shutdown also needs to be prepared for safety, including equipment, vehicles, and locations.
On April 2, when I heard that a construction truck had fallen and caused the Taroko derailment, I couldn ’ t believe it. Why would anyone start the construction truck? It was even suspected that there was construction? This was completely out of line, and United Land did not know that anyone would come to the site before.
Sun Lizhen stressed that at present, the Ministry of Communications, the Safety and Security Council and the prosecutor are investigating the whole case, and the company has also made clear its full cooperation with the investigation.
As for the outside world suspected that there were United Land personnel to the scene before the accident, and even a passenger's photo said that there were United Land workers and safety personnel present before the accident, these rumors are false, United Land personnel was notified of the accident on April 2, only to send personnel from Hualien City to the accident scene to understand the situation and assist in the investigation.
According to the tender data of the Public Works Council of the Executive Yuan, United Land has successively contracted 16 projects related to Taiwan Railway in the past five years, including side slope protection, bridge and road maintenance. Sun Li-chen pointed out that the current side slope protection projects in the province are designed and supervised by United Land. I believe that the Ministry of Public Investigation and Communications will investigate and clarify.

A young woman in Yunnan makes a model for high-rebate cosmetic surgery, but medical errors have a swelling sponge in the nasal cavity ｜ Hong Kong 01 ｜ Great Nation
|
By: Lin Zhiying Last updated: 2021-04-06 14: 32 Wu Xin (pseudonym), a 32-year-old woman from Kunming, Yunnan, underwent cosmetic surgery in December last year at the instigation of her friends and the temptation to receive high rebates.
After the incident, Wu Xin was interviewed by the mainland media to explain the situation at the time, and revealed that there is a high profit "medical trust" in the medical and aesthetic industry, reminding girls who want to change their beauty through cosmetic surgery must be cautious, because the process of rights protection is more complicated and lengthy than expected.
Kunming Xumei Medical and Beauty Outpatient Department. (City Times) Wu Xin revealed that her friend is a shareholder of "Kunming Xumei Medical and Beauty Outpatient Department", and the other party said that as long as she pulls people to the store for cosmetic surgery, she can get a high rebate.
At the same time, the other side also said that Wu Xin to first plastic surgery as a model, as long as the other people see the effect of plastic surgery, naturally there will be an endless stream of customers on the door.
Wu Xin said that as long as the people or customers around him sell the store ’ s cosmetic items, the rebate can reach as high as 60 to 70%, that is, Wu Xin can get 60% to 70% of the medical expenses. Subsequently, Wu Xin introduced a woman to the store for a nasal facelift, and easily won a rebate of 7,000 yuan (the same below).
Wu Xin frankly said that at that time, she only wanted to do chin surgery, but was encouraged by the other side to do her nose and eye cosmetic once, and the appearance became worse after the cosmetic surgery, "after I finished my whole person turned ugly, the kind of old circle", so that I stayed at home without going out to meet people.
+ 2 + 2 + 2 After the surgery, Wu Xin had a vague feeling of discomfort in the nose, but thought it was just a normal reaction.
It was not until more than 2 months after the surgery, when the family visited, that they found that Wu Xin ’ s nose had a strange smell. Wu Xin went to the hospital for examination, and the result was that two inflated sponges with abscess and odor were removed from the nose.
Wu revealed that in addition to the swelling sponge in the nasal cavity, the cosmetic hospital also forgot to remove the hemostatic gauze in the mouth. "(Cosmetic) The next day, the superintendent came to the room to check, and let people take a torch to see, and sure enough, there were gauze on both sides, and then took a tweezer to clip it, and angraciously asked:" Who did the stitch? "."
Wu Xin underwent cosmetic surgery at Kunming Xumei Medical Beauty Clinic.
(City Times) On Friday (2nd), Kunming Xumei Medical and Beauty Outpatient Department responded that the incident has been entrusted to a third party for identification and is investigating, and it is hoped that the identification results will be released as soon as possible.
As the claim against Kunming Xumei Medical and Beauty Clinic was fruitless, Wu Xin could only complain to the Health Law Enforcement Supervision Bureau of the Panlong District Health Bureau of Kunming City.
The staff of the bureau said that after investigation, the cosmetic hospital involved in the incident has the relevant qualifications, and the medical paperwork is standardized.
If this incident is a medical dispute between the two parties, in accordance with the channels stipulated by law, it can only be resolved through consultation between the two parties, application for people's mediation, administrative mediation or prosecution in the court.

Girlfriend takes the 8th car of Taroko to the doctor for treatment Male Star Hospital visit and witness the scene of wearing green hat - Entertainment
|
Taiwan Railway Taroko derailed accident on the 2nd, resulting in 50 deaths and more than 100 injuries. Fan Zian, a male star who played the "Diary of a Female Soldier", said in an IG post today (7) that his girlfriend of 3 years, a few days ago, took the derailed Taroko, and sat in the 8th car with heavy casualties, did not expect to rush to Hualien Hospital to visit, but found his girlfriend. A man interacts closely, only to discover that he is wearing a green hat.
Fan Zian said that on the day of the accident, he personally gave his girlfriend a ride. At that time, he confirmed that the other party was sitting in the eighth car. Therefore, after the derailment accident, he immediately drove the car to Hualien Hospital to visit. For a moment, I did not think that after a few days, in order to surprise my girlfriend, I took her favorite dog to visit, and even recorded a video on the road, to be a surprise to my girlfriend, but after arriving at the hospital, everything changed.
It turned out that he saw another man outside the ward holding his girlfriend's hand and patting her hair, and when he deliberately dialed the phone to inform his girlfriend that he had arrived, he saw his girlfriend hurriedly ask the man to leave, and even said that the other person was just a "good friend". Handle, the first time to see the intervention of people's feelings, you can also speak so loudly, the world's most embarrassing animal is you, it is true, you can kill not to admit the account I know, maybe you think of the way is only this. 」
But the most ironic thing about Fan Zian is that a week before the accident, his girlfriend asked when he would propose.
Now he will reply, the day after the incident also sent a message to his girlfriend to take care of her body, and then he will marry her, did not expect his girlfriend to respond in this way, which realized that "when the girlfriend is most vulnerable, the person who most needs it is not me, everything is just self-righteous", but also said that "everything is good and untrue, more hope that Taroko is just a dream today. What you see is just a dream.
And Fan Zi'an has deleted this article so far, it seems that he does not want to cause trouble.
The three hours from Hualien back to Taipei may be the longest time in my life, and I don't know where to drive, but I just know that I want to leave the place I don't want to stay anymore. Everything that happened this week is good or not true, really not true, much hope that the Taroko derailment is just a dream. A dream 4 / 2 is that the day of the Taroko accident this morning when I took you to the car confirmed that you were in the eighth car 11. When I saw the news, I forgot to wear my coat and drove all the way to Hualien, driving along the road shoulder 180 is no matter whether there are violations and speeding. I've been to Hualien for four hours on the first day of my vacation, but I still haven't been able to give you a good word of encouragement before your surgery, and I've been sitting outside in the waiting room after your surgery, and I've never been so worried about you in my life, and I've been so anxious to ask the doctor for all the details of the surgery and how I'm going to recover and how I'm going to treat you. The only thing I didn't think I'd ever see happen to me was how fragile you were, because I was so close to losing the girl I've always loved and loved, and for the last two days, I've been crying all the time, thinking about how you got through in the car, and your sore lips on the bed, but... Everyone told me to be stronger than you to get you out of here All my friends who called me told me to cheer up to get you out of here The other day I read a lot of trauma articles about how to get you out of there And how to get you out of there And how to get you to counseling And how to make you happy 4 / 5 I called all my friends and asked them if they could drive me to Hualien alone. I didn't tell you I was going, 'cause I wanted to see you in the hospital because I knew the hospital couldn't bring a dog, but I thought there might be a way to improve your mood, and I couldn't stop driving all this long just to see if I could make you laugh. I told you that you were sleeping, but what I saw from outside the curtain was a guy holding your hand and touching your hair. When I was a child, the boy didn't even dare look at me and ask you when he came, but you lied to me when you were sleeping, and you didn't see him coming. Now I came to you and you woke up to see that I really don't know what the meaning of me here is. To be honest, you don't have to deal with things that don't want you to deal with for the first time, you can talk so loudly when you see someone's feelings, you're the most shameful animal in the world. Even if I don't know what to quarrel about, I never let you look down on me, and no matter what happens, even if you never want to communicate after a quarrel, I will still sit next to you and say it's okay, maybe some people will say that I'm too cruel at a time like this, but I'm trying to make you happy, I'm trying to make you happy, I'm trying to make you happy in a way I'm trying to make you happy. I used to wonder why we quarreled so often and couldn't be separated, is it really ironic that we couldn't live without each other? You I know you've been waiting for me to propose, and you answered me in this way, thank you.
The most pathetic lion, not even the right to choose, dragged him away from the relationship I built with me for three years, and with me, seeing these pictures really wronged an innocent child, please remember that because of your selfishness, your so-called favorite lion lost his favorite and most sticky I, you once told me that his world was only two of us, but you took half of his world with your own hands, maybe you have forgotten. I forgot that from the time I chased you to now, my passion for you has not been less responsible for you, nor lazy if he can give you the life and security you want, I respect, and bless, I also realized that when you are most vulnerable, the person who needs most is not me, everything is just me, I think I was crying the day of the accident. Hualien's crying back is no longer too painful.

Hemingway and Liao Hui-ying
|
Ken Burns ’ six-hour documentary film for Hemingway was shown on the public television network yesterday. Burns has a lot of good work, but this is only the second time the writer has been featured, 20 years since he last shot Mark Twain.
PBS broadcasts for three days.
Ernest Hemingway is a good subject, 61 years old American Nobel Prize-winning writer who committed suicide, life is big river and sea, married four times, went hunting down the sea to fish, the United States of the Great Depression, Europe in war, he has lived brilliantly, can be drunk in a small bar, but can write like a practice, the text is simple, you can not look through the dictionary, but like "war dream" At the end of ell To Arms, the author changed the volume 47 times.
Reading and reading are two different things.
Take the short article "Indian Camp" (Indian Camp) less than three pages, for example, born from Hemingway's childhood, the little boy Nick with the father of a rural doctor, in the middle of the night to the Indian camp, a woman has a difficult birth, the doctor uses a folding knife to cut the abdomen, the woman screams the child all the way to the floor, Nick side to help the father, and then everyone found that the woman's husband has been lying on the double bed, Knife kills itself.
Nick rowed home with his father in the morning light, asking big questions about life and death.
In the end, Hemingway wrote that Little Nick felt that he would never die.
All right, it's over.
But, do you understand?
Burns ’ documentaries explain a lot of the same issues, so you know Hemingway better and remember him better because of his depth.
Shortly before the Hemingway documentary was released, Taiwanese novelist Liao Hui-ying also became a social topic.
She on the TV talk show, under the guidance of the host axe chisel very deep, in front of the national audience said that she was repeatedly domestic violence, her husband touched the knife, strangled the neck, she called the police, she wanted to divorce, but the children refused, saying that their mother left them there was no home to go back.
But after all decided to leave, single for a few months, at least there was calm.
She is very lonely, said that her daughter's colleagues will see that her mother can not lift her daughter.
The shock of the show is first of all that domestic violence has been so long and serious, but even more deeply: it was so said on TV. Liao Huiying is a graduate of the Chinese Department of National Taiwan University, and once an excellent novelist in the advertising industry, "rape seeds" and "no return to the road" affect this generation of Taiwanese women, some people may not know "the old man and the sea" or Hemingway, but care about Liao.
People familiar with Liao said that in fact, to show such a big wound to people to see, Liao Huiying is not prepared, almost to go up to see the script, but can not turn his face away, had to say the part with reservations.
Very ungrateful.
Look at Hemingway, also see his big man in the image of the unbearable, young in Italy injured not dead, a lifetime afraid to sleep alone.
The second wife is the best friend of the first wife, rich daughter, Hemingway eating soft rice, repeatedly deceiving the pillow people, his image is a pile of lies.
But Burns ’ documentary eventually takes us into Hemingway ’ s world of fiction, and Cheng Hung-yi ’ s shows get ratings, and people think of “rapeseed oil ” in the future, along with“ Liao Hui-ying? ”
The victim of domestic violence. ”
Literature is the collective memory of a generation, is an endangered species, Liao Huiying domestic violence is not impossible to mention, but compared with Hemingway, this is another rape seed life.

Don't go! Don't go! The canal authority wants the shipowner to pay $28 billion.
|
It is still in Egypt ’ s Great Lakes.
This photo was taken on March 30.
(Photo / Dazhi Imaging / Associated Press) reporter Wu Meiyi / editor Evergreen cargo ship ran aground the Suez Canal at the end of March, resulting in a global shipping and trade chaos, fortunately the crisis has been lifted.
However, the Suez Canal Authority (SCA) said on the 8th that the ship will not be released unless the cause of the accident is investigated and the owner, JAPANESE STEAM, agrees to pay compensation of US $1 billion (about NT $28 billion).
Osama Rabie, president of the Canal Authority, told state television that investigators were gathering data from the ship's navigation data recorder to find more clues. "We hope to reach an agreement quickly so that once they agree to compensation, the ship can leave."
He revealed last week that the amount of the claim will be used to compensate for the cost of the shallow works, the loss of the ship's passage fee, etc., although it does not rule out the possibility of litigation, but is more willing to reach an out-of-court settlement.
However, JSC said it had not received any official information from the Egyptian authorities.
The spokesman only confirmed that he is cooperating with the investigation and that the two sides are negotiating, refusing to disclose the amount of the claim.
(Photo / Reuters) - The Wall Street Journal quoted court documents as saying that Japan ’ s Zenei Steamship Company is trying to avoid potential cost increases, and two related subsidiaries of the company filed a lawsuit in the High Court in London on April 1 seeking to limit liability for compensation.
However, the spokesman stressed that this is only part of the normal procedure for insurance claims and is not a matter to Evergreen or any party.
Refinitiv, a British financial analysis firm, estimated that Egypt lost 95 million US dollars (about NT $2.7 billion) in shipping costs due to the grounding of the Chang Chi.
Fitch Ratings, an internationally renowned credit rating agency, noted that claims for large container ship accidents could exceed $1 billion, and CGT ’ s insurers will also face claims for product decay, supply chain disruptions and lost revenue from canal authorities.
The ship, its cargo and 25 Indian crewmen remain stranded in Egypt ’ s Great Bitter Lake.
Stephen Cotton, secretary-general of the International Transport Workers Federation (ITF), said that while the crew appeared to be being treated well, “the possibility of them being trapped is a matter of great concern to us ”.
Internet crazy "true sister captain" caused the Chang Chi ship to run aground fairy beauty exposure! She innocently claimed that the Chang Chi ship compensation amount was exposed... the maximum limit of 85.5 billion yuan!

"What Writers Drink": Hemingway loves to drink local wine, gin is Fitzgerald's first choice
|
Ernest Hemingway Reading Hemingway, sometimes it feels like diving on the Western Isles of Florida, sometimes it feels like being in a big European city, leaning on a mahogany bar and waiting patiently for her lover to arrive.
In almost every story, the cocktail is accompanied by an emotionally charged scene, making character development more specific and driving the plot forward.
Hemingway ’ s words are simple and refined, without any gorgeous carving.
Instead, he uses the physical world of the body (including wine) to convey the emotional power of the story.
The phrase “write what you know ” is the most apt of all writers to describe Hemingway.
He has traveled all over the world, became a regular at several bars and even created his own representative bartending.
He is a frequent drinker, but because of his cheerful personality and loyal customers, "Papa" (his nickname) is always loved by bartenders and bosses.
Whether it ’ s absinthe on the left bank of Paris, beer in Madrid, or rum in the tropics, Hemingway loves local wines. He visits the bars, taverns, cafes and beer houses scattered around the old town or on the beach and is as comfortable as he is at home, and the places he frequents instead boast his name.
In the legend of Papa Doble Daiquiri, Hemingway accidentally stepped into El Floridita in Havana, Cuba, and happened to see the bartender serving the guests a frost cocktail, and after trying it himself, he said: “It ’ s good, but I ’ d prefer not to add sugar … and a double rum. ” Hemingway hates sweetness and is said to have added only a few dozen drops of Black Cherry to complement the rum, but most modern bartenders add the amount of Black Cherry to create a more pleasing taste.
Bran 60ml freshly squeezed lime juice 22ml freshly squeezed grapefruit juice 15ml maraschino liqueur 7.5ml wheeled rum 1 piece decorated shaker glass filled with ice, add the rum, rum juice, grapefruit juice and black cherry liqueur, and shake well until the liquor is iced. Penang.
Finally, it can be decorated with a round rim.
Mojito (Five Points Tavern?)
On the wall of La Bodeguita del Medio in Havana, Cuba, there is an inscription in Hemingway ’ s handwriting: “My Mohito is in the Quinta and my Delici is in the Flotida. ” However, Philip Greene, an expert on cocktail history, believes that the inscription may be a forgery. But there is no definitive proof that Hemingway ever drank Moxito for five cents. Still, Greene writes, Hemingway did love a classic Moxito blend, made by Gregario, the captain of his beloved ship, the Pilar.
White rum 45ml honey syrup (1 part honey dissolved in 1 part water) 30ml freshly squeezed lime juice 30ml mint leaves 4 slices sodas a little rum horn for decoration Shake a glass full of ice, add rum, honey syrup, lime juice and mint leaves, and shake well until the liquor is chilled.
Pour in a colon cup, add ice cubes, and fill with soda water.
Finally, it is decorated with lime horn.
Death in the Afternoon absinthe 45ml Champagne absinthe pour into a flute champagne glass.
Fill the champagne with “an appropriate milky haze. ”
Hemingway recommends three to five glasses, slowly.
Scotty.
F. Scott Fitzgerald ’ s Quinrich famously said about the taste of Moët Tincture: “You drink a cup, drink a cup, drink a cup, and the last thing in the cup drains you. ”
This beloved writer, both in real life and in his writing, is soaked in alcohol.
In The Great Gatsby, the world of grandeur and intoxication is represented, not only is the champagne full of flavour, but also the finish of a gin martini.
Whenever Fitzgerald broke down and started drinking, gin was his first choice (he thought it was less noticeable); when he stopped drinking, he drank only beer, which he drank as water.
Gin 60ml freshly squeezed Lyme juice 22ml soda-wheeled Lyme slice 1pc ornamental Kerim cup filled with ice, pour in the gin and Lyme juice, then fill with soda water.
Finally, decorate with a round rim. Take your beloved southern lady and dance naked in the fountain.
This excerpt is from "What Writers Drink: Inspiration Highlights & Recipes of 100 Famous Literaries", co-published by Apollo Press through the links above, and "Critical Commentary Network" will receive a score of profit.

Chengdu medical beauty market supply and demand two strong driving consumption
|
The number of medical and aesthetic institutions has reached 381; the scale of the industry is only second to Beijing and Shanghai, and the operating income of the medical and aesthetic industry in Chengdu will reach 100 billion yuan (RMB, the same below) in 2025 and 200 billion yuan in 2030, creating a leading and world-renowned "medical and aesthetic capital" in mainland China.
China News Service reported that Wang Xidan, secretary general of Chengdu Medical and Beauty Industry Association, said that the scale of Chengdu's medical and aesthetic industry in 2018 has reached 48.7 billion yuan.
"The development of the entire industry has formed a relatively healthy cycle, and the market is showing a state of supply and demand." Wang Xidan said that concentrated medical and aesthetic resources and a higher price ratio than first-tier cities have attracted more and more consumers to Chengdu.
In 2018, the number of medical and aesthetic institutions in Chengdu soared to 407, a surge of 131 from the previous year.
The Plastic Surgery Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences also chose to host the first Beijing-outside branch of Chengdu ’ s eight major medical and aesthetic hospitals in Chengdu in 2018.
Tang Yong, director of eight major medical and aesthetic hospitals in Chengdu, said that with nearly 40 days of closure due to the COVID-19 epidemic, the hospital's revenue in 2020 still increased by about 30% compared to 2019.
With the rise of the “face value economy ”, medical beauty has gradually become a pressing need for some contemporary Chinese, among which light medical beauty, which has a short recovery period and low risk, is most popular.
Due to the consideration of safety, reliability and other factors, a large number of consumers have moved to cities where medical and aesthetic resources are concentrated, and "medical and aesthetic tourism" has also quietly emerged.
The total revenue of Sichuan Huamei Zixin Medical Aesthetic Hospital in 2020 is about 600 million yuan.
Xue Hong, general manager of the hospital, said that about 20% of the annual number of patients treated by the hospital are foreign consumers who come to the hospital.
"Especially in recent years, the number of these consumers has grown rapidly, from Gansu, Qinghai, Yunnan, Guizhou and other provinces."
Wang Xidan sees this phenomenon as a new inflection point for the development of Chengdu's medical and aesthetic industry.
She said that medical beauty and tourism, finance, catering and other industries are expected to achieve the continuous development, the next step of the Chengdu Medical and Beauty Industry Association will work from this aspect, strive to create a consumer ecosystem that can maximize meet the diversified needs of consumers, and enhance the competitiveness of Chengdu medical and beauty industry.
Liu Lu, a professor of economics at Southwest University of Finance and Economics, said that the medical and aesthetic industry, as a new economy that can promote regional economic development, should care for its growth, but also need to strengthen supervision, train high-quality personnel, and formulate more stringent industry norms.

China's embassy in Turkey cut off water: Why do Western public opinion insist on creating a Sino-Turkish confrontation?
|
Last updated: 2021-04-13 18: 30 On April 10, a "news" about the municipal administration of Ankara cutting off the water supply to the Chinese Embassy in Turkey was quietly fermented in the Western public opinion.
According to the logic of the “Western narrative ” pioneered by the Daily Mail, the Ankara municipal authorities ’“ water cut ” initiative was deliberate and linked to the previous diplomatic turmoil in China surrounding Xinjiang.
Under the demonstration effect of the Daily Mail, mainstream media in Europe and America, including Deutsche Welle, France 24 and The Guardian, followed up. Although it is not like the Daily Mail to focus on the "water storm", but the public opinion impression of the Sino-Turkish confrontation is in common.
Unfortunately, one of the opposition politicians at the center of the storm, Mansur Yavas, who has also been named and criticized by the Chinese embassy, is the current mayor of Ankara.
In contrast, the above-mentioned "Sino-Turkish water dispute" created by some European and American media has added a lot of reasonable points.
However, the latest indications are that the above-mentioned "Sino-Turkish water dispute" is nothing more than a drama of Sino-Turkish confrontation deliberately shaped by Western public opinion.
According to information from the Chinese Embassy, the embassy has never been deliberately cut off from the water supply.
The "water cut at the embassy" mentioned by the Western media, represented by the Daily Mail, is only a routine repair of the leaky pipeline by the municipal authorities of Ankara, and the water supply was restored on the same day after the repair.
At this point, a rather intriguing question appeared - that is, why do some European and American media make this shape in this seemingly inconspicuous detail?
What is the special purpose behind it?
+ 2 + 2 + 2 If the timeline is slightly longer, it is not difficult to find that Western public opinion has deliberately shaped Turkey ’ s diplomatic move in a straight line after the failed coup d ’ état of July 15, 2016.
Indirectly or indirectly, it reflects the extreme unease of the ruling blocs in Europe and the United States over Turkey ’ s increasingly shifting diplomatic direction away from the “Western track. ”
As political trust with the European and American camps froze in the aftermath of the failed coup, Recep Tayyip Erdogan ’ s administration began to see an increasingly pronounced shift away from the West and toward the East at the level of diplomatic strategy.
This divergence has made the Western ruling elites who have long regarded Turkey as an important geographical barrier in Europe and the United States look like a back, but due to various internal and external factors, the current European and American camps can not open enough chips to “pull Ankara back on track ”, so various public opinion tactics that try to hinder Turkey ’ s diplomatic eastward turn have been used.
It is worth noting that the primary target of the above-mentioned "public opinion war separation" technique is not China, but Russia, the top enemy of European and American geo-security.
Since the Erdogan authorities significantly increased the level of cooperation with Moscow in the field of security policy after the attempted coup, and even introduced the Russian-made S-400 missile defense system at the cost of violating the "NATO red line", Russian-Turkish relations have long been the focus of Western "public opinion war".
In the Syrian and Libyan civil wars that took place during this period, exaggerating and even concocting the Russian-Turkish conflict became the core objective of the Western public opinion war - for example, in the conflict in the northern Syrian province of Idlib, the Western media more than once weaved the "prosperity" of direct confrontation between Russia and Turkey due to the difficulty of reconciling the conflicts of proxy interests.
Similarly, in Libya, Russia and Turkey have also become the focus of relevant reports of Western public opinion because of their different support camps.
What ’ s more, in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict at the end of last year, Western public opinion persisted in dispelling the rumors that “the Turkish military directly put a first-line combat force into the conflict area ” during the war, and created a certain“ atmosphere ” in the international public opinion arena with a view to achieving the intention of some Western ruling forces to internationalize the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
Therefore, the recent "Sino-Turkish Water Shutdown" is just another practice of the above-mentioned Western "divergence of opinion" war method: In the recent wave of "Xinjiang human rights sanctions" led by Europe and the United States, the Erdogan authorities not only failed to follow the footsteps of the West, but also carried out a more comprehensive and in-depth security and economic cooperation with Beijing in the opposite direction. The option of an extradition treaty, which blatantly contradicts Western “human rights diplomacy, ” is on the bilateral agenda.
This kind of "gross iniquity" clearly touches the sensitive nerves of the Western ruling clique.
Therefore, it is not surprising that a series of "public opinion dissociation" techniques have appeared frequently.
For both sides, how to maintain the bilateral strategic focus under the attack of the Western public opinion war, and not to affect the overall situation by "fanning the wind and lighting the fire" for a while is the most urgent task.

Warming continues to warm India's rainy season will expand
|
Warming will make India ’ s summer rainy season more visible.
European studies have found that as Earth ’ s temperature gets warmer, every 1 degree Celsius increase in temperature is expected to lead to a 5% increase in summer rainfall in India, with consequences that will not only affect local crop yields in India, but also increase the chance of major flooding.
According to The Independent, India, which accounts for one fifth of the world ’ s population, relies on seasonal rains from June to September each year as a source of drinking water and farming.
However, the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany found that global warming will make the rainy season stronger and more unstable.
Using 31 new climate models, the researchers analyzed possible changes in India ’ s rainy season in four future climate scenarios, including successful efforts to limit warming to 2 degrees Celsius and ineffective efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
It was found that if we managed to keep the temperature within 2 degrees, the seasonal rainfall would increase by 10% between 1985 and 2015 by the end of the century, but if humans did nothing, the rainfall would increase by 24%.
In addition, for every 1 degree increase in global temperature, rainfall increases by 5%, compared to 3% in previous studies using earlier models.
In response to this, researcher Anders Leverman said, “As the difference becomes more pronounced from year to year, it will make the annual rainy season more unpredictable. ”
We also found that the increase in rainfall during the rainy season was more pronounced than in past climate models. ”
He also pointed out that climate change makes the rainy season more intense for many reasons, one of which is that warmer air will carry more water.
Andrew Turner, a scientist at the University of Reading in the United Kingdom, also believes that “the results also support the conclusion of earlier studies that rainfall will increase in India during the rainy season when greenhouse gases increase. ” According to CNN, India ’ s agricultural production accounts for nearly 20% of GDP, which plays an important role in the smooth development of the country.
Crops need rainfall, but too much or too little can harm plants.
In this regard, agricultural policy expert Devender Sharma pointed out that agricultural practices must adapt to climate change, but the specific way is still unknown.
“We don ’ t know how climate change will develop, and there is a possibility that a period of heavy rain will be followed by droughts or hurricanes, with no consistency, ” he said.
This will create a lot of problems for the agricultural sector and the economy, "he said.
The results of the study are published in the journal Earth Dynamics Systems.

Taichung City unit two only Wanping Park completed to bring great benefits to the regional housing market
|
The "Green Mansion" section of the unit is called "Green Mansion" and will be green on top of it!
The only Wanping Water Park in the area has been completed and opened recently, adding further capacity to the housing market around Unit 2 Public Welfare Road. The new project for the second quarter will be located in the first row of the park, making it the only “Wanping Park Mansion ” in the new luxury project this year.
In recent years, the per capita green space ratio of Taichung citizens has risen to the second place in the country, creating an inclusive, all-age and sunny leisure environment.
Located on the public welfare road of unit 2, Lai Xin Park, after the city government integrated the surrounding idle space, expansion, and optimization, the overall park area of more than 15,000 square meters, becoming the largest park in unit 2, and the third metropolis of Wanping Park in Nantun District in addition to Wenxin Forest Park and Fung Le Park.
The World Health Organization has proposed 32 Healthy Cities Indicators to measure the importance a city attaches to the health of its residents. Among them, the recommendation for park green space is that everyone in the city should have at least 9 square meters of park green space within a 15-minute walk.
Therefore, living next to a large area of park greenery is in line with the international residential trend.
After promoting the Meiluo Land Project, the per capita green land area of Taichung City has increased significantly to 9.56 square meters. The city government has also set the goal of improving 50 parks every year, and is expected to increase the green area of 78,000 square meters.
The Nantun Lai New Park breaks away from tradition and adopts the three themes of “water, green, and motion ” to connect the water, flood pool, water resource center, green space and library. It is integrated into a blue and green space, which not only provides people with leisure areas, but also hopes to become an ecological base in the city.
The entire park contains a variety of facilities such as a circular water bank trail, a forest health area, a 12-sensory recreation area, a recreational green area, an ecological island, and a water purification education park.
The park also includes a Taichung Municipal Library Lee Ke Yong Memorial Library Branch. The architectural design refers to the most beautiful "Takeo Library" in Kyushu, Japan, and the green building and the surrounding park are combined to become the best place for citizens to spend their holidays and leisure.
The second public welfare road, which gathers several Michelin restaurants, plus the entrance of Wanping Park and the library, makes life more functional.
Huang Mang-hsiang, manager of the Nantun Branch of the seventh phase of residential real estate, pointed out that over 60% of the construction projects ranked among the top ten luxury homes in Taichung over the years have a large green field vision, which means that the landscape factor is a strong support for the price of luxury homes, and its value preservation and value-added have been generally recognized by the market.

Saving the Earth _ Climate warming makes food storage more difficult expensive farmers: good fresh and cool air seems to be decreasing _ Apple Daily
|
The family of Brian Sackett, a resident of Mecosta, Michigan, has grown potatoes for generations. Since the cool weather in September and late spring is suitable for storing potatoes, about 25% of the potato chips produced in the United States are made in Michigan.
But the temperature has been rising in recent years, and Sackett can no longer store crops the way it used to, and the equipment used to be no longer adequate. "Our good, fresh, cool air seems to be decreasing."
In the past, Sackett only needed to use a computer-controlled system to pump outdoor air into 16 storage warehouses to cool the freshly dug potatoes to a temperature of 15.5 degrees Celsius or lower.
Temperatures in Michigan have been at record highs for eight years in the past 10 years, but in recent years, the average temperature in September and October was higher than normal in three of the 1990s, and six years after entering the year 2000, and more than eight years between 2010 and 2020.
As the weather gets warmer, Saxt ’ s old equipment is not enough.
Since about 10 years ago, he has to buy a number of small refrigeration units in the warehouse, and last year, he spent US $125,000 (HK $975,000) to buy a large, tailor-made refrigeration equipment to facilitate moving to different warehouses.
He admitted that the equipment is "definitely not cheap", adding that similar equipment may be added later.
Sackett ’ s case shows that global climate change is already causing unnoticed damage to agriculture everywhere. Crops that are not normally consumed immediately or processed are stored after harvesting, sometimes for months.
Warming climate makes the storage process more difficult and expensive.
According to an analysis by Julie Winkler, a geographer and climate scientist at Michigan State University, in the middle of this century, the amount of cool weather suitable for storing potatoes in Michigan ’ s main potato growing areas may decrease by as much as 17 days a year, and by one month in the later part of the next century.
According to research published last year by Courtney Leisner, a plant physiologist at Auburn University in Alabama, apples grown in the northwest and northeast of the United States, peanuts grown in the southeast, lettuce in the southwest, and tomatoes in the Ohio Valley have also been shrinking unrefrigerated.
Techmark Inc., an agricultural engineering company based in Lansing, Michigan, designed the installation for Sackett Farm. Other customers include farmers who grow carrots, onions and carrots.
Owner Todd Forbush said crops are increasingly being stored in cold storage, with equipment to regulate temperature and humidity needed to offset rising costs.
Lesnar said, “Who pays for it? ”
He added that the potential impact of global warming on food storage has been “grossly overlooked ”.“ We don ’ t associate farmland, grocery stores, and our dinner tables with just a few degrees of difference, which can change everything about whether it ’ s affordable to store fruits and vegetables 365 days a year. ”
Accelerating food decay or food shortages In addition to higher prices, climate change may also accelerate food decay, resulting in food shortages.
According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, about 14% of food and 20% of fruits and vegetables worldwide deteriorate between harvest and sale.
Wasted food is one of the main sources of greenhouse gases, and a third of the grain stored by small farmers in sub-Saharan Africa is ultimately poisoned by insects and mold.
Tanya Strathers, an associate professor at the Natural Resources Institute at the University of Greenwich in London, said higher temperatures make it easier for pests to survive in the winter, and stored grains are naturally more likely to rot.

Mars Helicopter “Innocent ” Successfully Launched
|
On April 19, 2021, definitely a memorable day in the history of space travel, NASA ’ s Mars Helicopter Ingenuity completed its first flight, a human-made spacecraft that successfully made its first powered flight on another planet, proving that aerodynamics and aeronautical lift still work even in a place as thin as Mars.
Space News reported that the original cost of $85 million, equipped with a black and white camera, and 13 million color imagers, but there are no spare scientific instruments, because its work is simple, just to prove that the flight of the outer planets is possible.
The film is based on the original flight.
(Figure / NASA) Mars gravity is only 35% of the Earth's, so the lift required for flight is not large, but the Mars atmosphere is only 1% of the Earth's, making the lift caused by stirring air very weak.
Prior to Innocent's flight, scientists were not sure if Innocent's coaxial twin propellers could successfully lift the entire helicopter.
You wouldn't believe what I just saw.
More images and video to come... # MarsHelicopterhttps: / / t.co / PlapgbHeZU pic.twitter.com / mbiOGx4tJZ — NASA's Perseverance Mars Rover (@ NASAPersevere) April 19, 2021 JPL staff cheered the first flight of the perseverance.
The small 1.8-kilogram helicopter made its first flight at 3: 34 a.m. EST, flying at an altitude of about 3 meters and circling at that altitude before landing 39.1 seconds later.
Video of Nasa Mars Ingenuity helicopter's successful first flight on Red Planet This first flight has its own part, its black and white camera recording its own flight, the shadow of the propeller projected on the surface of Mars.
In addition, the perseverance bus also captured the flight dynamics of the original from 65 meters away. When the photo was sent back to the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), the on-site personnel cheered excitedly.
MiMi Aung, head of JPL ’ s Creativity team, said: “We can now say that humans have successfully flown on Mars and that the spacecraft we invented has taken off, sailed and landed steadily on another planet.
I can feel how proud I am of the Wright brothers' first flight. "
This flight is the first of Innocent ’ s five flights, which will be even more challenging, with plans to reach an altitude of 5 meters and further distances.
NASA believes that after proving that flight on Mars is possible, future extraterrestrial missions will not only move in plane, but also add a third dimension.
Thomas Zurbuchen, NASA ’ s deputy director of science, said: “Flying will be the new exploration tool of the future.
Future missions to Mars are not yet envisioned for airplanes or rotors.
However, one of the plans to explore Saturn ’ s largest moon, Titan, is the Dragonfly project, which is to send an unmanned aircraft to Titan to fly, and with a dense atmosphere, it should be able to fly very smoothly. Dragonfly is scheduled to be launched in 2027.

NASA Perseverance successfully made oxygen gas on Mars history of the future astronauts do not need to be transported by Earth ｜ Hong Kong 01 ｜ Digital Life
|
By Associated Press Last Updated: 2021-04-23 08: 00 NASA ’ s Perseverance is making history again. According to the official 21st, the six-wheeled robot successfully converted some of the carbon dioxide in the Martian atmosphere into oxygen, which is the first time in human history that it has achieved a new milestone on a planet other than Earth.
The demonstration, held on the 20th, aims to use an advanced version of the experimental instrument energy to contribute to further human exploration in the future. This demonstration not only represents the ability to provide future astronauts with breathing oxygen, but also reduces the previous need to spend a lot of resources to transport large amounts of oxygen from Earth.
MOXIE (NASA / JPL-Caltech) This device, known as MOXIE, also known as the Mechanical Tree, uses electrical and chemical methods to break down one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms in the carbon dioxide molecule.
On its first run, MOXIE produced 5 grams of oxygen, which is equivalent to about 10 minutes of breathing for a normally active astronaut.
MOXIE engineers will now conduct more tests and try to increase its oxygen output, which currently produces up to 10 grams of oxygen per hour.
Jim Reuter, deputy director of NASA ’ s Space Technology Directorate, stressed that MOXIE is a “critical first step ” in the technology to convert carbon dioxide to oxygen on Mars.
Designed by MIT and made of heat-resistant materials such as nickel alloys, MOXIE is designed to withstand the 800 ° C high temperatures required for operation, while its thin metal coating also ensures that it does not dissipate heat and does not damage the equipment.

Perseverance makes oxygen on Mars for the first time outside of Earth - Technology
|
NASA said today that the Mars rover "perseverance" continues to make history, yesterday successfully converted carbon dioxide into oxygen in the Martian atmosphere, the first successful oxygenation on another planet.
"Turning carbon dioxide into oxygen on Mars is a very important first step," said Jim Reuter, NASA's deputy director of space technology missions.
Perseverance uses the Mars Oxygen In situ Resource Utilization Experiment (MOXIE) built in front of its right and designed by MIT to produce oxygen. This car battery-sized gold box uses electricity and chemical properties to break down carbon dioxide molecules and successfully produce oxygen.
Since carbon dioxide is composed of 1 carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms, the by-product of MOXIE's oxygen production is carbon monoxide.
MOXIE not only can produce oxygen for future astronauts to breathe on Mars, but also need not drag a large amount of oxygen from Earth as a propellant in the future, which is expected to pave the way for future human exploration.
MOXIE ’ s first score was to produce 5 grams of oxygen, equivalent to the amount an astronaut needs to breathe for 10 minutes of normal activity.
MOXIE was originally designed to produce up to 10 grams of oxygen per hour, and engineers will now conduct more experiments to try to increase production.
MOXIE is made of heat-resistant materials such as nickel alloys, which can withstand high temperatures of 800 degrees Celsius. The thin gold coating on the top ensures that it will not cause damage to the car ’ s Perseverance.
MIT engineer Michael Hecht said the one-ton version of MOXIE could produce about 25 tons of oxygen needed for a rocket to launch from Mars.
Since 96% of the Martian atmosphere is carbon dioxide, producing oxygen from the Martian atmosphere is much more feasible than extracting ice from the Martian surface.

Author: Au Jingluo Last updated: 2021-04-22 15: 47 Mars has very little oxygen. If humans are to land on Mars for a mission, they must carry a large amount of oxygen, but in order to establish a permanent base, achieving self-sufficiency is necessary.
The US Space Agency (NASA) successfully converted carbon dioxide into oxygen in experiments on Mars, marking an important step for human survival on Mars.
A full-scale model of Perseverance. Perseverance successfully landed on Mars on February 20 to launch a new round of Mars experiments and explorations. (AP) Perseverance is exploring and conducting a series of experiments on Mars since landing on Mars.
The experiment was carried out on April 20, and NASA activated the converter on the perseverance spacecraft to successfully convert atmospheric carbon dioxide into oxygen.
This is the first time that humans have used instruments in outer space to convert other gases into oxygen.
The full name of the converter is "Mars oxygen field resource utilization experimental device" (MOXIE), or "mechanical tree". MOXIE uses electrical and chemical methods to decompose 1 carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms in carbon dioxide molecules in the atmosphere.
MOXIE ’ s first operation successfully produced 5 grams of oxygen, which is equivalent to 10 minutes of breathing for an astronaut during normal activity.
MOXIE is designed by MIT and is made of heat-resistant materials such as nickel alloys.
Designed to withstand the 800 ° C high temperatures required for operation, while its metal coating ensures that the heat generated does not damage other equipment.
At present, MOXIE can produce up to 10 grams of oxygen per hour, and more experiments will be conducted in the future to try to increase the amount of oxygen output.
NASA says MOXIE is a key first step in the technology to convert carbon dioxide to oxygen on Mars.
The atmosphere of Mars is 95% carbon dioxide, directly converting the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere into an oxygen device will help solve the problem of oxygen resources necessary for humans to establish a permanent base on Mars.

International Briefing ｜ First Appearance After the Prisoner of the Three Star Prince Prince _ Russia plans to launch a new stove after exiting the International Space Station in 2025 _ NASA "Perseverance" to extract oxygen from the Martian atmosphere _ Apple Daily
|
South Korea ’ s Samsung Group Vice President Lee Jae-yong was sentenced to two and a half years in prison in January for bribing former President Park Geun-hye ’ s confidants.
As the government and business sectors recently asked the government to pardon Li, he appeared in court again on Thursday (22) on charges of fraud and stock price manipulation, the first appearance of the company after about three months.
According to South Korean media reports, 52-year-old Li Jae-rong dressed in a black suit and white shirt to appear in court.
Lee Jae-yong appeared in court 10 minutes before the start of the trial. In addition to answering that the judge did not want a jury, Lee Jae-yong remained silent.
Prosecutors alleged that in the process of promoting the merger of Samsung C & T and Cheil Industries in 2015, Samsung executives deliberately published false information to raise the share price of First Woven and depress the share price of Samsung Property in order to boost Li Zaihong ’ s acquisition of shares after First Woven was acquired by Samsung Property to become the largest shareholder and strengthen his influence on the Samsung Group.
If Li is convicted of fraud and stock price manipulation, his sentence may be increased.
Lee has so far served half of his sentence, which is 15 months.
South Korea ’ s government faces growing pressure from business and opposition parties to pardon Lee.
Utilizing Lee Jae-yong ’ s global network will help safeguard South Korea ’ s vaccine supply, according to the Federation of South Korean Industries.
Park Jen, a conservative lawmaker, also said that South Korea ’ s investment in U.S. semiconductor production will ensure that South Korea receives vaccines from the United States.
Russia plans to withdraw from the International Space Station from 2025, space agency chief Dmitry Rogozin said on Wednesday, with President Vladimir Putin's approval, Russia will build its own space station and hopes to put it into orbit by 2030, a plan that reportedly costs $6 billion (about HK $46.6 billion).
If successful, it will open a new chapter in Russia ’ s space exploration and end more than two decades of U.S.-Russian cooperation on the International Space Station.
Russian Deputy Prime Minister Yuri Borisov told Russian television last weekend that Moscow would notify its partners to leave the International Space Station from 2025.
Russia ’ s Interfax news agency reported that Rogozin said it plans to put the space station into orbit by 2030, and unlike the International Space Station, it is likely that there will not be permanent members of the Russian space station, because the space station ’ s orbit will expose the astronauts to high radiation, but Russian astronauts can go, and the space station will also use artificial intelligence and robots.
He added that Russia is ready to consider allowing foreign space visitors, “but the space station must be national … If you want to do things well, you have to do it yourself. ”
Since 1998, Russian cosmonauts have cooperated with astronauts from the United States and 16 other countries on missions to the International Space Station, one of the areas in which Moscow has worked closely with Washington.
However, the US-Russian relationship is in crisis due to issues such as human rights and hacking.
NASA ’ s Perseverance successfully extracted oxygen from the Martian atmosphere The recent mission of the Mars rover Perseverance successfully converted carbon dioxide from the Martian atmosphere into breathable pure oxygen, NASA said on Wednesday.
NASA said that the device, called MOXIE (Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment), is the size of a toaster, and uses extreme heat to separate oxygen atoms from carbon dioxide molecules through electrolysis work. MOXIE successfully generated about 5 grams of oxygen, which can allow an astronaut to breathe for 10 minutes.
This feat marks the first time humans have extracted natural resources available for human use from the environment of another planet.
Oxygen content in the Martian atmosphere is extremely low, carbon dioxide accounts for 95% of the Martian atmosphere, and the rest is mainly composed of molecular nitrogen and argon.
Adequate oxygen supply is key to human exploration of Mars, experts believe that astronauts living and working on Mars may need 1 ton of oxygen to maintain their needs for a year, and believe that it is more practical to convert oxygen on Mars than to transport 25 tons of oxygen from Earth.
MOXIE ’ s operating concept is to produce 10 grams of oxygen per hour.
NASA says scientists plan to run the MOXIE device at least nine more times over the next two years, under different conditions and at different speeds.

Milestone! "Perseverance" Mars rover successfully produces oxygen on Mars for the first time!
|
The perseverance rover has successfully made oxygen from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere on Mars.
(Reuters) - NASA said on Wednesday that the "Perseverance" Mars rover made oxygen from atmospheric carbon dioxide on Mars for the first time.
This is the first time humans have created oxygen on an extrasolar planet.
On February 18 this year, the "perseverance" Mars rover successfully landed on Mars.
NASA said in a statement that the oxygen production mission was carried out by the "Mars Oxygen in situ Resource Utilization Experiment" (MOXIE) equipment carried by the "perseverance".
It operated for the first time on the 60th "Mars Day" (April 20, US Eastern Time) after landing on Mars, successfully separating the oxygen atoms of carbon dioxide in the Martian atmosphere to make about 5 grams of oxygen, equivalent to the amount of oxygen an astronaut needs to breathe for about 10 minutes of normal activity.
Carbon monoxide produced during the oxygen production process is released into the Martian atmosphere.
"This is a critical first step in converting carbon dioxide to oxygen on Mars," said Dr. Ruth, head of NASA's Space Technology Directorate.
According to NASA, about 96% of the Martian atmosphere is carbon dioxide. MOXIE is only a small experimental device, but it is expected to drive the development of larger and more efficient oxygen generators.
This will not only help solve the problem of oxygen supply for future astronauts on Mars, but also provide oxygen fuel for the rockets that humans will use to return to Earth from Mars.
MOXIE is designed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States. It has a cuboid body with a gold appearance and is the size of a car battery. It is located in the right front of the interior of the Mars rover.
Because the oxygen production process requires a high temperature of around 800 degrees Celsius, MOXIE is made of heat-resistant materials, including the use of 3D printing, nickel alloy parts that heat or cool the passing gas, and lightweight aerogels that help keep the temperature.
It has a thin gold coating on the outside that prevents heat from being radiated outwards to avoid damage to the rest of the Perseverance.
NASA said in a statement that the device is expected to perform at least nine more oxygenation activities in a "Martian year" (equivalent to nearly two years on Earth).
It is designed to produce up to 10 grams of oxygen per hour.
MIT engineer Hector was quoted by AFP as saying that if the device is converted to a ton, it can make about 25 tons of oxygen for the rocket to take off from Mars.
According to the NASA website, in the future, if four astronauts work and live on Mars for a year, they may need 1 ton of oxygen.
The perseverance rover was launched on July 30 last year and landed on Mars on February 18 this year.
Its mission includes searching for signs of life that may have existed in the Martian past, as well as exploring the Martian geology and climate features to explore the future of human exploration and landing on Mars.
The robotic helicopter on board the Mars rover successfully completed its first flight on Mars on the 19th of this month, rising 3 meters and suspended for 30 seconds.
This is the first time an artificial aircraft has flown under control on another planet.

European Central Bank's sustained low interest rate stimulus policy remains unchanged - Finance
|
European economic policy remains unchanged, major economic stimulus programs remain unchanged, and nearly 900 billion euros of budget is still in the pipeline, as the EU economy lags behind the United States and mainland China in the fierce fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.
The central banks of the 19 EU member states that use the euro kept interest rates at record lows and did not adjust their 1.85 trillion euro bond-buying stimulus, which will last until at least March 2022.
It will still be used in the coming months.
Regular purchases using newly generated money, the central bank ’ s main force, can reduce long-term borrowing costs for companies, consumers, and governments.
The European Central Bank is expected to signal on Thursday that it will not consider cutting support for the European economy even if inflation rises later this year.
The extended lockdown period and slow pace of vaccination in the face of a renewed pandemic have raised hopes that a strong rebound should eventually take place.
The ECB ’ s governor, Christine Lagarde, is likely to reiterate that even if inflation rises later this year, the bank is still far from withdrawing any of its extraordinary measures.
Consumer inflation is expected to climb above 2% annually for the second half of this year.
But the bank said it would be the result of temporary factors, such as the elimination of pandemic tax incentives and comparisons with earlier periods when oil prices were very low.
This is not the reason to undo any efforts by the government to maintain low credit levels as a company.
and consumers.
Inflation in the euro area was 1.3% per year in March.
The bank ’ s target is close to but below 2%.
That ’ s a similar view to Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, who said that the price increase later this year may be due to temporary factors, and that the Fed will not start raising rates until the work lost in the pandemic is “effectively done, ” and that inflation seems“ on track to moderate above 2% for some time. ”
The euro zone economy shrank by 6.6% last year, and economists say it could also recede in the first quarter of this year.
By mid-2022, the data is not expected to reach pre-pandemic levels, far behind other major global economies such as the United States and China.

SpaceX launched the first "old ship" space mission is expected to succeed - International
|
SpaceX has successfully launched the Crew Dragon spacecraft at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida to carry four astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS).
This is the first manned space mission to use a spacecraft that has previously performed the same mission.
The spacecraft, named Endeavour, was successfully launched at 5: 49 a.m. local time on the 23rd (17: 49 p.m. Taiwan time on the same day) and successfully entered orbit 12 minutes later. It is expected to dock with the International Space Station at 5: 10 a.m. on the 24th, allowing the four astronauts to begin their mission.
Endeavour will remain in the space station for about six months before returning to Earth on October 31.
This is the second manned space trip of Endeavour, which participated in the Demo-2 space mission on May 30, 2020, and was the first to test the launch of an astronaut into space with the Dragon, which stayed in space for 63 days.
Its sister ship, Resilience, launched on November 16, 2020 and is currently docking with the International Space Station and is expected to return to Earth on April 28.
It is worth mentioning that the female astronaut Megan McArthur, who rode on the Endeavour, is married to veteran astronaut Bob Behnken, who previously participated in the Demo-2 space mission, and is also the pilot, so the two people are sitting in the same seat on the ship. Me? "
In addition to the Endeavour, the Falcon 9 rocket that launched this time is also an "old product" and was previously used for the November flight of the "Resilience".
The next mission, expected to take place in September, will carry four “civilian ” astronauts on a short-term mission to the Low Earth orbit, the first manned space mission without official astronauts at all.
