US "perseverance" Mars probe: local materials to produce oxygen successfully
|
NASA / JPL-CALTECH image annotated with text, the instrument for in-situ oxygen production on Mars is almost the same as that for home baking bread. NASA ’ s “Perseverance ” Mars probe has completed a ground-breaking mission – to obtain in-situ oxygen production on Mars, light installation for the future of mankind. Going to Mars adds a bit of hope.
Oxygen is the source of life.
This is the second time Perseverance has made history since landing on Mars; the first was the first successful flight of the unmanned helicopter Curiosity.
Oxygen equipment called Mars oxygen field resource utilization experimental instrument, MOXIE.
It makes 5 grams of oxygen from carbon dioxide in the Martian atmosphere, roughly the same amount of oxygen that astronauts need to breathe on Mars for 10 minutes.
The purpose of NASA's Mars Oxygen Experiment is to explore whether humans can "get oxygen" on Mars in the future, without having to carry oxygen with them for interstellar travel.
The atmosphere of Mars is dominated by carbon dioxide, accounting for 96%, and oxygen only 0.13%; oxygen accounts for 21% of the Earth's atmosphere.
Moxie separates oxygen atoms (O2) from carbon dioxide (CO2) molecules, and the resulting carbon monoxide is released into the Martian atmosphere as an exhaust gas.
The goal is to produce 10 grams of oxygen per hour.
Trudy Kortes of NASA ’ s Space Technology Division explained that Moxie is not only the first instrument to successfully produce oxygen in other worlds beyond Earth, but also a pioneer in similar technologies that will help future space exploration teams rely on water and water to adapt to local conditions.
The process of separating oxygen from carbon dioxide means that an inexhaustible amount of local resources can be converted into acceptable supplies: breathable gases, jet fuels, and mixed with hydrogen to produce water.
Previously, the unmanned helicopter "Innovation" brought to Mars by perseverance made two test flights to Mars on April 19 and 22, setting a record.
The second flight experiment involved lifting from the surface of Mars to an altitude of 5 meters, then translating 2 meters, spinning, taking some photos, and then returning to the landing site.
Your device does not support multimedia audio and annotated text, NASA "perseverance" successfully landed on Mars The first photo of the "perseverance" Mars probe landed at Jezero crater near the equator of Mars on February 18, 2021.
It will spend at least two years in the area collecting rock samples to find evidence of past life.
It is believed that, billions of years ago, Jezero had a huge lake.
Where there is water, there may be life.
Perseverance is the second one-tonne Mars rover launched by NASA.
The first probe, Curiosity, landed in another crater in 2012.
The first powered flight of a mini-helicopter on Mars has been hailed as the "Wright Brothers moment" on Mars, the first time humans have tried to fly on another planet.
Why is Yezero Crater so interesting?
Jezero, 45 km wide, is named after a town in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
In some Slavic languages, "jezero" means "lake", which also explains its attraction.
Jezero showed multiple rock types, including clay and carbonates, that may preserve some kind of organic molecule, suggesting life once existed.
Particularly attractive is the bath-ring sediment that extends along the shoreline of ancient lakes on Mars.
In these places, Perseverance can find something similar to what is known on Earth as stacking stones.
Image source, NASA image annotated with text, second photo sent back from the Yezero crater The most interesting rocks discovered by Perseverance will be packed into small tubes left on the Martian surface.
NASA and the European Space Agency have developed a multi-billion dollar plan to bring them back by the end of the century.
It will be a complex operation involving a second probe, a Mars rocket, and a giant satellite that will bring the specimen of Jezero back to Earth.
But bringing back samples is the next step in Mars exploration, which is both logical and necessary.
Even if Perseverance finds something that looks like a biomarker, the evidence will almost certainly be controversial, as is the claim that there are traces of ancient life on Earth.

Matt Damon, get your potatoes ready. Mars Oxygen Generator activated.
|
Text: The Department of Applied Physics / Ministry of Science and Technology of Tunghai University has completed a lot of groundbreaking work on the "perseverance" on Mars. For example, a few days ago, a rotorcraft "Mechatronic" was released, using the thin atmosphere of Mars to complete the first "aerodynamics" flight outside the Earth.
Mars ’ atmospheric pressure is less than 1% of Earth ’ s, and oxygen accounts for only 0.13%. Mars is considered the most likely planet in the solar system to colonize, but the biggest problem may be “no oxygen to suck ”.
The atmospheric pressure of Mars is less than 1% of that of Earth, and the most important component is carbon dioxide (95.32%), the others are nitrogen (2.7%), argon (1.6%), and oxygen only accounts for 0.13%.
In the 1990 film Total Recall, Mars is the stage, the main character (young and strong Arnold Schwarzenegger) and the villain's last big brawl, from the artificial dome with oxygen supply in the living area, to the dome without oxygen; then because of the lack of oxygen pressure and low, everyone's eyes are bulging, and their eyes are about to see the blood is about to boil. and die.
After Arno hung up the bad egg, he activated an unidentified device that melted the ice caps in the Martian polar regions and created an oxygen-rich atmosphere.
Source: The Devil ’ s General Mobilization of Young and Powerful Arnold.
In addition to being a science fiction masterpiece, Sharon Stone, who has just made her debut and is much more eye-catching than the heroine, is a major highlight of the picture source: "Devil's General Mobilization" under the pressure of 0.01, the eyes of Arnold, although I said it was like a very stupid movie, but this is an adaptation of Philip.
Dick ’ s classic novel is well worth a look. The story was remade again in 2012, but people still prefer Arnold ’ s version.
In order to develop Mars, oxygen is indispensable. In order to develop Mars, we must first let the team of astronauts, scientists and engineers work on it for a while, get the infrastructure ready, and then slowly send more people over.
Oxygen is essential in this process.
Assuming that the next mission is to send four astronauts to Mars for a year, and then the spacecraft will return from Mars, it will need 7 tons of fuel and 25 tons of oxygen to leave the Martian surface.
To take this extra 26 tons of oxygen from Earth is actually a waste, and it would be much better if you could actually produce oxygen on Mars.
Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment (MOXIE) is a device that decomposes carbon dioxide in the Martian atmosphere into carbon monoxide and oxygen. The oxygen is collected, and the carbon monoxide is discharged as a waste gas. Otherwise, the astronauts will have carbon monoxide. Poisoning is bad.
This reaction has to take place at a high temperature of 800 degrees Celsius, so MOXIE has to be built with heat-resistant materials, including 3D-printed nickel alloy parts and a gold surface coating.
MOXIE conducted its first experiment on April 20, turning on an hour and successfully producing 5.37 grams of oxygen, allowing astronauts to breathe for about 10 minutes. NASA announced the news on April 22.
Of course, this amount seems small, but this MOXIE is a small test machine, and it is expected to make large machines in the future to produce oxygen at a higher rate.
With it, humanity ’ s path to Mars has taken another step forward.
Remember Jedi Rescue? Matt Damon, get your potatoes ready. Mars Oxygen Generator is on.

Wuhan Pneumonia: Nearly 80% of Japanese Died After December 2020
|
(AP) 2021 / 04 / 26 19: 10 [China Central News Agency] The cumulative number of deaths from Wuhan pneumonia (COVID-19) in Japan today exceeded 10,000, nearly 80% of whom died after December last year, mainly due to a surge in the number of deaths caused by the rapidly expanding third wave of the epidemic.
The Japan Broadcasting Association (NHK) reported that the fourth wave of the epidemic in Japan is centered in the Kansai region, and serious patients have a tendency to continue to increase, and more people may die from the epidemic in the future.
Please continue reading...
In Japan, the first case of Wuhan pneumonia occurred on February 13 last year, a woman in her 80s living in Kanagawa Prefecture.
More than 100 people were killed on April 8, 500 on May 2, 1,000 on July 28, and 2,000 on November 24.
Since then, the death toll has increased by dozens every day, with more than 100 people killed in a single day for the first time on January 19, and the total death toll exceeded 5,000 on January 23.
It took about a year from the first death to the death toll of 5,000, but only about three months later there were 5,000 more deaths.
In addition, a total of 7,825 people have died so far last December, accounting for about 80% of the deaths, indicating that the third wave of the epidemic, which is rapidly expanding, is also causing a rapid increase in the number of deaths.
The report said that in terms of the age of the deceased, the National Institute of Social Security and Population Studies, according to the epidemic data released by various local governments, statistics to April 19 show that among the dead, more than 80 years old accounted for 43.1%, followed by more than 70 years old accounted for 23.29%, more than 90 years old 23.07%, and more than 70 years old accounted for nearly 90%.
However, since last month, the fourth wave of epidemic caused by the spread of highly contagious mutant strains, so that middle-aged patients in their 40s and 50s in Kansai and other areas are more likely to develop into serious diseases, which may cause more deaths in the future.

Japan Cabinet Office report shows gender gap in epidemic
|
Newsfrom Japan (Kyodo News, April 28) The Japanese Cabinet Office ’ s expert research association submitted a report on the 28th to the joint participation of men and women in the exhibition, Summarukawa, to summarize the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic on women.
The report pointed out that domestic violence (DV) reached 1.5 times the previous year and other serious victimization.
In addition, the existence of previous employment practices and social systems based on the understanding of the different division of labor between men and women, sounding the alarm that if it is shelved, the gender gap will further widen.
The government first plans to include measures to increase the number of female suicides by about 1,000 over a period of one year, as well as urgent measures such as the DV consultation, in June ’ s “Focal Points for Accelerating Female Activism ”.
The middle and long term topics will be discussed in the joint participation meeting of men and women after the autumn.
The report said that in terms of employment, women have a lot of low-paid informal workers, and the proportion of employment in the catering and accommodation industries that have been directly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic is also higher, so it is more affected than men.
The report said that single mothers and single women who do not have income from their husbands are particularly vulnerable, highlighting the need to improve the treatment of non-regular female employees and strengthen measures to help women move to the digital field.
The report also stated that even if both husband and wife work remotely, the value of the high-speed economic growth period of "husband making money and wife raising children" has been deeply rooted until now.
The report said that social systems such as “spouse control ”, which deducted income tax, hindered women ’ s economic independence and called for the first amendment to civil servants ’ dependency allowances.
In addition, the government is also required to vigorously promote relevant measures to enable women to participate in political, economic and other decision-making occasions. (concluded)

|
Note that it has nothing to do with this article.
(Photo / from free gallery Pxhere) A netizen rushed to eat after the game a few days ago, the result of the way headphones suddenly sent a child's voice, admonishing him to "take, or else to be followed", although he did not know what it was, but he immediately understood, and quickly touched the pocket, suddenly found that the protective charm he had forgotten to take, actually obediently in the pocket.
Netizens in the spiritual community mentioned, "after the game in Kaohsiung, according to the usual bathing after leaving the stadium, because I am in a hurry to eat, things are stuffed, stuffed into the bag, probably to Zuoying High Speed Rail Station, at that time I was wearing anti-noise headphones, faintly heard a child's voice from the headphones."

World's Biggest Aircraft Returns to the Sky After Two Years - International
|
At the Mojave Air and Space Port in California, the Stratolaunch, the world ’ s largest aircraft, took to the skies again for its second flight, two years after its first flight.
New Atlas reported that the stratospheric launch system is indeed the largest in the world, with a headband tail length of 72 meters and a unique dual body, so its wings should be regarded as three pieces: left, center wing, right wing, which makes its wingspan up to 117 meters, powered by six Pratt & Whitney PW4000 turbofan engines. Allen ’ s last wish was that this huge aircraft could carry 110 tons of rockets into space.
After years of development and testing, the homothermal launch system made its first flight in April 2019. Unfortunately, Allen was not able to see, and he passed away from cancer on October 15, 2018.
Due to Allen ’ s death, several aerospace businesses he originally promoted lost their hosts, and many of Allen ’ s aviation collections were sold, including the homothermic launch system. Fortunately, Chambers Capital Management (Cerberus Capital Management) came forward to acquire the homothermic launch system and agreed that the original R & D team could continue the original aerospace program.
The team nicknamed the giant aircraft “Roc ” (Arabic mythology), and initially the company also intended to design a rocket mounted in the middle wing and then launch it into low Earth orbit.
But now the company has changed its development goals to design a supersonic winged aircraft that can be reused.
(Photo / Stratolaunch) Last April, the company demonstrated a small hypersonic aircraft called the Talon-A, designed with a hoist auxiliary wing that can take off and land on the runway or take off from the middle of the Dapeng.
So we can get a glimpse into the future: the Dapeng takes off with the Pengla-A as a near-space, even low-orbit, space vehicle.
This is very commercial potential for the future of tourism in space.
It was because of this vision that Dapeng waited until it took off again, and the whole test flight was smooth and the landing was quite stable.
But this is still just the beginning, and this large aircraft with a net weight of 226 tons must prove to be capable of carrying 250 tons of aircraft in order to make this vision a reality.

World's Largest Aircraft Completes Second Test Flight, Expected to Test Launch Ultrasound in Two Years
|
(Reuters) - The world ’ s largest aircraft, the Roc, has successfully completed its second test flight. (Reuters) - The US aerospace company Stratolaunch Systems announced that the world ’ s largest aircraft, the Roc, has completed its second test flight on April 29, 2021, two years after its first test flight.
At 10: 00 a.m. EST on April 29 (10: 00 p.m. Taiwan time on April 29), Stratolaunch ’ s ultra-large aircraft successfully completed its second test flight at the Mojave Space Launch Center in California, USA, flying at an altitude of 14,000 feet (about 4.267 kilometers) and a top speed of 320 kilometers per hour, with a total flight time of 3 hours and 14 minutes.
Stratolaunch is pleased with the results of this test flight, which is intended to confirm the aircraft ’ s performance and capacity, as well as to review the results of a series of previous improvements.
Please continue reading...
The world ’ s largest aircraft, known as the Roc, is reportedly built with six engines and has a wingspan of 117 meters, longer than the length of a standard American football stadium (110 meters).
"Roc" was originally designed as a "small satellite launch platform", hoping to launch a rocket at an altitude of about 10 kilometers to send a satellite directly into space orbit. In the future, it is planned to be used as a launch platform for a hypersonic spacecraft.
In response to the successful completion of the test flight, Stratolaunch insiders said it was a major milestone in the development of "ultra-sonic" flight services.
It is reported that Stratolaunch is currently developing a reusable Talon-A polar sonic aircraft with a maximum speed of 6 Mach (more than 5 times the speed of sound), which can provide about 1 minute of polar sonic flight, and plans to carry Talon-A with "Roc" and ignite its liquid rocket booster in the air to launch and take off. Talon-A is expected to be completed in 2022. Testing begins in 2023.

Driving crazy apology! Taoyuan police anger "you deliberately" report talkie: people drive my feet
|
Reporter Ke Pei-chen / comprehensive report A netizen surnamed Huang complained that when he drove through a narrow lane in Taoyuan in June last year, he saw a car coming in the opposite direction, and rallied to the right.
At that time, the traffic police of Chuang surname rode by, thinking that Huang Nan had stopped, approaching to signal that Huang Nan should leave, but unexpectedly his left foot was accidentally run over, angry that he knocked on the window to theoretical. Huang Nan repeatedly apologized, emphasizing that he was careless, but also willing to pay compensation, but Chuang police immediately reported that "the people deliberately drove my feet!"
After the video was exposed, it caused anger among netizens.
The original PO explained that at that time, in order to avoid illegal parking, the opposite vehicle was forced to cross the middle line and occupy his lane.
At this point, the traffic police, named Chuang, rode back immediately, and stopped on the left side of his vehicle to signal Huang Nan to move the vehicle.
Huang Man did not understand the situation, and quietly rolled down the window to stop. Zhuang warned that "you pressed my feet", Huang Man immediately apologized "did you? Sorry!"
I'm sorry! "The Chuang Police immediately reported on the intercom," People are driving on my feet! "
▲ At that time, the Zhuang police questioned "if I was not a policeman, you would have hit and run", and then actually accused Huang of hit-and-run.
Huang Nan was afraid of misunderstanding, and quickly explained "I'm really embarrassed, I was careless, I just told you I'm sorry, I really didn't notice, because you just really rode very close..."
Huang Nan clarified "I didn't mean to, I really didn't mean to, I just wanted to let the car pass, I'm so law-abiding, I didn't have to go hard to squeeze that small passage, but I want to be stopped by you, I'm really sorry to pressure your feet, I can compensate you, but I don't understand why you have to treat me with such an attitude?"
"But I opened the first sentence of the window and said I'm sorry, and then I told you that I was letting the car, but you didn't listen, and you didn't understand..."
▲ Zhuang police choke, "otherwise I also pressure your feet?" (photo / explosive commune) Huang Nan stressed, "I am not breaking the rules, I am letting the car, but I do not understand what your attitude is now?" Chuang police cold choke "That is your words! It does not matter ah, I will act according to the law!" Huang Nan asked "What law?" Chuang police choke "、 Criminal law is good? You just pressed my foot, hurt! Even if you did not intend to, I will sue you for negligence! 」
Huang tried to explain "but I didn't..." but was interrupted by the Chuang police shouting "My feet are hurting! My feet are hurting!", and Huang was taken back to the police station to make a notebook and prove that he was actually letting the car.
Other police officers in the hospital also acted as peacemakers, suggesting traffic accidents and reconciliation.
▲ Zhuang police ignored Huang Nan's explanation, insisting that Huang Nan was intentional, and reported the support police to the scene.
(Figure / Explosion Commune) After the incident, Zhuang police examination confirmed that he had a contusion on his left foot, Huang Nan also repeatedly concerned about the injury of the Zhuang police officer, and discussed the matter of reconciliation and compensation.
Unexpectedly, a few days later, the Zhuang police suddenly did not warn of "negligent injury", "hit-and-run", and also pleaded for a summary judgment, and finally the Taoyuan District Court sentenced Huang Nan to 10 days of criminal detention according to the crime of negligent injury.
Huang Nan said helplessly, Chuang police during the attitude is very poor, repeated words, originally said good reconciliation and regret to complain, but also told more about the futile hit-and-run, although the escape finally can not complain, but recently received a verdict of damage, let him can not help feeling that "this police is basically trying to punish the people."
The judgment stated that the police officer surnamed Chuang went forward and motioned to Huang Nan to open the window, but Huang Nan rashly started forward without opening the window and confirming the situation through dialogue, so he pressed down on Zhuang Nan ’ s left foot, causing a foot contusion.
The prefecture believes that Huang Nan should pay attention to the situation before starting to drive, there is no situation that can not be noticed, but the police were injured due to negligence, and it has not yet been reconciled.
Taoyuan City Police Department Taoyuan Branch said on the 6th that the dealer was based on the defense of his own rights and interests, and the branch respected the results of the judicial investigation.

Ten more trees is like a salary, 280,000 more trees, the happier they really are.

Recently, research teams from universities around the world have been exploring the benefits of nature for humans, an area of research that has grown rapidly in recent years.
The positive impact of urban parks and gardens on mental health may not be as great as strong interpersonal relationships, but they can still quietly affect us and increase our resilience to stress.
Research shows that when we are in a green space, hostility and anxiety are reduced.
In addition, green space has the effect of improving mood and reducing mental fatigue.
In addition, it will change human behavior, encouraging us to exercise more and interact with our neighbors.
But while many studies have confirmed these effects, in many ways we are just beginning to understand the complex physical and mental responses to the natural environment.
The concept of “green nature ” can refer to a lawn, but complexity and diversity are important when it comes to nature ’ s effect of helping to restore vitality.
Ecologist Richard.
Richard Fuller conducted research in Sheffield, UK, and found a clear link between the benefits people get when they walk around the park and the biodiversity of the plants in the park.
The results of these studies tell us that the ancients' concept of "pastoral city" has its importance: when building urban parks and gardens, the more vibrant and natural the garden, the better the beneficial effect will be.
The city is very crowded, and we are very crowded in our hearts, but when we visit the park, we can expand our sense of psychological space.
A view of Da ’ an Forest Park in Taipei City.
If we want to promote the increase of green space in the city and improve public health, we must conduct quantitative research in groups, and this is not easy.
Fuller recently led a study in Brisbane, Australia, to explore the relationship between the number of visits people make to urban parks and their physical and mental health, but encountered some problems in the research process.
For example, healthier and wealthier people can choose and live in green areas with more green space.
With this in mind, Fuller ’ s team adjusted to use the large amount of data they collected to make a series of calculations to try to exclude major socio-economic factors known to affect health.
The results tell us that if everyone in Brisbane went to the park every week, the number of people with depression could be reduced by seven per cent and the number of people with high blood pressure could be reduced by nine per cent.
This is just a study of one city, but Fuller hopes other researchers will be able to do similar research in other parts of the world.
There is always a correlation between health and income, so the people most affected by social deprivation in a city tend to be the people with the worst mental health conditions.
There are many complex factors behind this, but a team led by Richard Mitchell from the Centre for Environmental, Social and Health Research at the University of Glasgow and the University of Edinburgh has conducted large-scale research in European cities to explore the relationship between social, economic and health disparities and community welfare facilities.
The researchers analyzed the shops, public transport, cultural facilities and green spaces provided by each district, with only one variable having a significant impact: the presence or absence of community parks and gardens.
After calculation, the research team believes that mental health inequality is related to low income, but if green space is provided to low-income households, it can improve the mental health of these people, and the improvement can be as high as 40%.
The numbers surprised the researchers, and Olmsted was right that the parks he designed did contribute to the health of low-income workers in the city.
Just planting a trail tree can affect people ’ s mental health.
Studies have also found that roadway trees can significantly affect how people feel about their lives.
Marc Berman, of the University of Chicago ’ s Environmental Neuroscience Laboratory, led the study on the distribution of street trees in Toronto ’ s residential areas and combined this information with the results of a questionnaire that asked residents to rate their health. After adjusting for data such as income, education, and work, the results showed that if there were only 10 more street trees in a metropolitan area, the psychological discomfort of residents in that area would be reduced. And the salary suddenly ten thousand US dollars (compiler: about NT $280,000) about the same.
It ’ s amazing to quantify nature ’ s wealth in this way, but if you let someone choose, most people should choose money instead of trees.
In addition to promoting mental health, green spaces and trees seem to reduce community violence and domestic violence.
University of Illinois ecologists Frances Kuo and William Sullivan have published several influential studies showing the effects of green space in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
People living in resource-poor social housing communities in Chicago are full of green plants, while others are less.
Their research shows that people who are more exposed to green space are more hopeful, less likely to feel too helpless in their lives, and less likely to feel hostility and irritability at home.
In another study, Guo and Sullivan analyzed the incidence of theft and violent crime and found that such crimes were less common around nearby buildings with trees and gardens.
They also concluded from their calculations that building green spaces in areas where greenery is lacking could reduce crime by up to seven percent.
Gardens can attract people to go outside and make the community safer. They are also a kind of intermediary space where residents gather in the garden, interact with neighbors, tear down barriers between people, and help people build new friendships.
In cities, changing abandoned spaces and alienating spaces through greening can have an impact that cannot be underestimated.
The city is very crowded, and we are very crowded in our hearts, but when we visit the park, we can expand our sense of psychological space.
In the park, we can take a step back and think more clearly; when we leave the park, we will feel more free and less bound by the previous troubles.
This effect of the park is consistent with the brain changes measured in a study by the University of Washington School of Ecology.
Participants in the study were randomly divided into groups, one group walking alone in the park for 90 minutes and one group walking alone along the highway for 90 minutes.
Mental health scores improved in the park group, with much less anxiety or negative thoughts.
For your heart, let the plants heal.
The behavior of publishing houses providing repeated negative thoughts is related to the activity of the prefrontal cortex under the knee of the brain.
The research team used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to observe the brain activity of the subjects and found that in the park group, the blood flow to the lower knee prefrontal cortex was reduced, which was consistent with the meditation effect.
In the past, our hunter-gatherer ancestors walked in the natural environment and had to be completely focused on what was around them and carefully observe everything around them to be safe.
So from an evolutionary point of view, when we are in the natural environment, the brain should of course cut out the thoughts that make us anxious and promote a sense of relaxation and alertness — after all, we have a much lower chance of survival if we are trapped in a loop of negative thoughts.

Nuclear power generation _ China 's development of nuclear industry to help poor countries build power plants British experts: take advantage of the opportunity to organize alliance to challenge the West _ Apple Daily
|
China has continued to increase its influence in poor countries by assisting them in infrastructure projects, and has taken this path in nuclear energy.
Nick Butler, a visiting professor at King ’ s College London, said in an analysis that China ’ s rapid development of the nuclear industry is because “Beijing knows how to use electricity to build an empire. ”
Butler begins his article with an example of Pakistan ’ s largest civilian nuclear power plant, which, after the opening of the Karachi nuclear power plant, has doubled the capacity of Pakistan ’ s four nuclear facilities, and a similar nuclear power plant could be opened in a few months.
The Karachi nuclear power plant was built and will be operated by China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC), one of the few companies in the world capable of building and operating civilian nuclear power plants.
With more than 30 new reactors in operation and another 16 under construction, China is now a major source of global nuclear power growth.
The United States and the European Union, both of which are reducing their use of nuclear energy, are still heavily constrained by the nuclear disaster caused by the 311 earthquake in Japan.
The rapid development of China's nuclear industry, "this growth is only the beginning."
Butler ’ s article says China ’ s goal is to build a “closed-cycle, self-sufficient nuclear industry ” at home, from uranium processing to producing fuel for reactors to building, managing, and operating nuclear plants.
China has achieved this through improved international technology, particularly the use of Westinghouse ’ s technology to create new Chinese-designed reactors. After foreign companies have laid the foundation for the development of China ’ s nuclear industry, China ’ s improved design has reduced or even eliminated the role of foreign companies.
In addition to meeting domestic demand, part of China's strategy to develop its nuclear industry is to create exports, mainly to countries that lack resources and nuclear technology.
China ’ s nuclear power plants are low-cost and using modular construction to assemble reactors is much simpler than Western construction methods.
Exporting low-cost reactors could be accompanied by loans from China and “generous long-term management contracts. ”
Ten years ago, Chinese industry saw the opportunity to participate in upgrading the nuclear industry in Western countries, including the United Kingdom, in order to absorb market knowledge. China ’ s largest state-owned nuclear power company, GNPG, was able to partner with France ’ s state-owned EDF to participate in the Hinkley Point project in the United Kingdom, giving Chinese companies the opportunity to build, own and operate Chinese reactors in the United Kingdom.
However, Sino-British relations have deteriorated due to issues such as Hong Kong, Huawei and Xinjiang, and the plan has been shelved.
China has turned to Asia, Africa and Latin America, where the population is growing and more electricity is needed.
Infrastructure and energy supply are at the heart of China ’ s Belt and Road initiative, such as Pakistan ’ s reactor, which is only part of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor and includes agreements such as roads and port development.
In the nuclear industry, Russia, with its technology, remains China ’ s main competitor, but it lacks the massive capital to fully support large projects like Beijing ’ s.
“The end result is that China, through its pursuit of industrial ambitions, has created a series of relationships and alliances that take full advantage of the importance of electricity supply to everyday economic activity. ”
In the modern world, this is the way to build empires. ”

These 7 expenses are not covered by Medicare and need to be paid for by yourself.
|
The AARP notes that while Medicare covers the health care needs of most seniors — from hospital care and doctor visits to lab tests and prescription medications — there are some expenses that Medicare doesn ’ t cover and need to pay for themselves.
While basic Medicare does cover eye expenses such as cataract surgery, it does not include regular eye exams, glasses, or contact lenses. The Medigap plan is also not covered; some private insurers offer this supplemental coverage, and some Medicare Advantage plans cover regular eye care and eyeglasses.
Solution: For some people, it ’ s a good deal to pay for glasses or contact lenses with additional vision insurance each year.
Hearing aids Medicare includes medical conditions related to the ear, but the basic Medicare and Medigap plans do not pay for regular hearing tests or hearing aids.
Solution: If you ’ re enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan, you can see if the plan covers hearing-related costs; if you don ’ t, or only have basic Medicare, you might want to consider buying insurance or joining a discounted plan member to help pay for hearing aids.
Basic Medicare and Medigap do not cover certain dental care, such as routine checkups or large expenses — including dentures and root canal treatments.
Solution: Some Medicare Advantage plans offer dental insurance.
If you don ’ t have coverage or only have basic Medicare, consider taking out personal dental insurance or enrolling in a dental discount plan.
Basic Medicare and most Medicare Advantage plans cover virtually no medical costs incurred outside the United States.
Solution: Some Medigap insurance covers certain overseas medical expenses; you may need to travel frequently.
In addition, some travel insurance offers basic medical coverage, but the scope of each plan varies and you need to know the details.
Medical evacuation (medevac) insurance can also be considered, which is not expensive, but can be sent to a nearby medical institution or back to the United States in case of an emergency.
5. Foot diseases do not include regular foot medical care, such as the removal of foot calluses.
Medicare Part B covers only: Foot examination or treatment in connection with nerve damage caused by diabetes, or in connection with foot injuries or diseases such as hammerheads, bunion deformities, and heel spurs.
Solution: If you have a foot disease, you may need additional protection.
Medical insurance for cosmetic surgery usually does not cover the cost of non-essential cosmetic surgery, such as face lift or abdominal liposuction.
But in the event of an accident, Medicare will pay for cosmetic surgery.
Solution: If you need to do some medical beauty, you need to create a savings plan.
Medicare pays for limited rehabilitation facility accommodations — for example, if hip replacement surgery is required and hospitalization is required for several weeks, Medicare pays for it.
However, if you have to move to a nursing home because of weakness or illness, Medicare does not cover these costs.
(The average nursing home in a shared room is about $90,000 per year, and the cost of a single room is more than $100,000, depending on where you live and the facility you choose.)
Solution: Spending on nursing home care is a big problem, and for those with limited incomes and savings, Medicaid can help fill those gaps.

The family members of the Taroko train were urgently looking for someone. The passenger service center turned back to "throw divination blocks and ask the gods."
|
▲ 408 Taroko derailment incident caused 49 people to die, hundreds of people were seriously injured in the accident, the news is very confusing at the moment of the accident, so that the family urgently look for someone.
(Photo / Reporter Huang Guolin) reporter Lin Guanyin / Comprehensive report The Taroko train accident killed 49 people, the worst train derailment accident in Taiwan in recent years. At the time of the accident, many people were anxious because they could not contact their relatives. Wang Weijun, convener of 76, said in a Facebook post on the morning of the 10th that in the aftermath of the meeting, there were victims to them. He said that when the accident happened to look for someone at the passenger service center of the Taiwan Railway, the service staff not only asked three questions, but even wanted the family to take a car to Wanhua, because "there is a temple, you go to throw divination to ask the gods, ask the gods to protect!"
Wang Weijun pointed out on Facebook that it has been 37 days since the Taroko incident, in the holding of a meeting, the families of the victims know that the train derailed accident, the first time to call the Taiwan Railway phone can not call for 1 hour, always occupied the line, and finally reached the relevant information, only to get "sorry do not know", "you may have to run to confirm" the news. My family in Taipei is very upset.
All the way from 9: 00 a.m. to 2: 00 p.m., after the transfer and then transfer, the family of the victim still can not get the exact family information, do not know whether to be happy or sad, can only comfort themselves that no news is good news, sitting in distress personally ran to the Taiwan Railway Passenger Service Center to ask the service staff, did not think that the way of the service staff was really wrong.
▲ The impact of the 408 derailment of the Taroko was so large that the front of the train was cut in half. (Photo / Reporter Huang Guolin) The family of the victim pointed out that she went to the service center to ask the service staff to register her daughter, but the service staff said that she needed to "register with a ticket". In the place of panic and helplessness, do not know what to do.
When the family members did not respond why they went to Wanhua, the service staff said, "There is a temple there! Go to Longshan Temple, you throw divination boards and ask the gods to see!"
Ask God to bless! ", absurd remarks made the family angry, unable to confirm the life and death of relatives is enough to panic, but also need to face the service staff so attitude, so that the families of the victims bitterly criticized" Is this how your staff treats our families? Is this your brand for more than 100 years? How proud are you? "
The families of the victims gathered together at the site of the accident.
(photo / reporter Chen Huancheng) Post, attracted a large number of netizens Tu, bluntly said that the staff "not a bit of empathy, even throwing divination such words are more exports, in the end, there is no human nature!", "Back these words call the family feelings", there is also an accident of the family members said to have encountered a similar encounter, when looking for his brother's luggage was questioned by the station staff "how late." Call to pick up the luggage ", so that the family can not help but cry when they hear it.
Wang Weijun also pointed out at the end of the post that the 76 Walker Body Restoration Team not only repaired the body of the deceased, but also tried to repair the hearts of the families, and bluntly said, "I will accompany you until you no longer need me", while angry that the service staff of the Taiwan Railway "too exaggerated! Warm staff, let many netizens praise" thank aunt "," aunt really warm heart. "

Common ships will spend 6 billion yen to build new whaling mother ship
|
News from Japan (Kyodo News Agency, May 11) In the context of the commercial whaling that has resumed in Japan after 31 years in 2019, President Hideki So, the only company to carry out offshore operations, held a press conference in Tokyo on the 10th, announcing plans to spend about 6 billion yen (about 350 million yuan) to build a new whaling ship.
The company is optimistic that the Japanese government will expand the fishing quota and target sea areas in the future, and renovate the old mother ship.
Originally, it was "always said that it would cost more than 10 billion yen" (in the words of the president), but the cost was reduced by reducing the speed of the current mother ship "Nisin Maru".
It is expected to be completed in March 2024.
The government currently restricts commercial whaling to the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of Japan, which covers only three species of minke whales, Bryde whales and Sei whales.
The new mother ship was also designed to operate outside the EEZ in the future. It can also catch large fin whales and ensure that it has the ability to reach the Antarctic waters.
The construction fee will not rely on subsidies, but will be obtained through crowdfunding through loans and online fundraising.
The president said that in order to guarantee the repayment of funds, "we hope to increase the amount of fishing in 2024."
He also stressed that the expansion of the whale meat market will be driven by higher wholesale prices and increased imports.
Japan withdrew from the International Whaling Commission (IWC) at the end of June 2019 and stopped its previous investigation of whaling activities.

Infographic Understanding Climate Change: Warmer weather not only harms human health, but agriculture and the economy have also paid the price
|
David Nelles and Christian Serrer: Climate change has now directly or indirectly affected the lives of 7.5 billion people on the planet.
However, the impact of global warming varies from place to place, which means that people and people living together in different regions will also be affected to varying degrees.
In any case, one thing is certain: the continued warming of the climate will continue to bring all kinds of adverse effects to mankind.
Climate change can have many effects on human health, such as heat stress caused by high temperature, operating environment factors (including air temperature, humidity, wind speed and radiation heat) and clothing, and high temperature events, which can worsen heart, blood circulation and respiratory related diseases. Increase the mortality rate of these diseases.
On the other hand, high temperatures are conducive to the formation of ozone close to the ground, which has adverse effects on human health, such as may lead to decreased lung function.
Extreme weather events such as floods or storms are more frequent and can also bring more hidden risks to human health, such as injuries and even death in serious cases.
In addition, already polluted waters may increase the risk of infectious disease outbreaks due to heavy rainfall and flooding.
Another effect of climate change in Germany is the lengthening of the pollen season, which exacerbates the symptoms of respiratory diseases such as asthma or allergic rhinitis.
And such climatic conditions are more conducive to the growth and reproduction of allergenic plants, such as Ambrosia is a good example.
Photo Credit: Businessweek / Lisa Schwegler, Stefan Kraiss, and Janna Geisse Produced The 2010 increase in global deaths due to climate change A spreading vector of disease caused by climate change refers to organisms that can transmit pathogens from infected animals or humans to other animals or humans, such as ticks commonly known as ticks, or mosquitoes.
Climate change is changing the current environmental conditions in which pathogens are spread by vectors.
In recent decades, due to globalization and favorable climatic conditions, the Asian-native Aedes albopictus (also known as the Asian tiger mosquito) has reached parts of southern Europe.
In the near future, other areas of higher latitudes in Europe should also become suitable for mosquito activity due to climate change.
It is important to note that the white line mosquito spreads dengue fever and Chikungunya virus.
On the other hand, the high temperature must be maintained for a period of time before the virus can be spread through the infected mosquitoes, because the warm temperature allows the virus to successfully reproduce in the mosquitoes and then transmit the virus to humans when the mosquitoes bite.
Rising temperatures create favorable conditions for the spread of Aedes albopictus and shorten the propagation time of the virus in Aedes albopictus.
Combining globalization with the risks that come with it, such as the importation of foreign goods that could trap Aedes albopictus, or returning travelers infected with the virus, increases the risk of disease transmission.
Photo Credit: Businessweek / Lisa Schwegler, Stefan Kraiss, and Janna Geisse produce Climate change impacts on agriculture High temperatures, high levels of carbon dioxide in the air, changes in rainfall patterns, and associated changing weather parameters can affect plant growth.
When the temperature rises to the most appropriate growth temperature, the yield of a particular crop can be increased, but once the temperature exceeds this optimum value, the crop yield begins to decrease.
In the case of corn and soybeans, as long as the growth period is more than 30 ° C, it is not conducive to the development of these crops.
In addition, extreme weather, especially drought and high temperatures, as well as heavy rain, can negatively affect yields. Between 2000 and 2007 alone, droughts and high temperatures have reduced global cereal crops by about 6.2%.
When the concentration of carbon dioxide in the air increases, many plants respond quickly by reducing the amount of water released from the leaves and increasing photosynthesis.
In this way, there is enough water and nutrients to promote plant growth, which is known as the "CO2 fertilization effect" (CO2-Düngungseffekt).
There is debate as to how much this fertilization effect can offset the reduction in production in some areas due to changes in temperature and rainfall patterns.
In addition, increased carbon dioxide concentration in the air can promote plant growth, but it also means that the nutrient concentration in the plant will be relatively reduced.
If higher average temperatures lead to longer tillage periods, less cold damage and higher crop yields, then climate change has positive implications for higher latitudes, such as northern Europe.
In contrast, climate change is not necessarily a good thing for crop yields in tropical and subtropical regions.
Climate change comes with three different types of costs: First, the cost of damage, such as direct damage to real estate or public infrastructure caused by extreme weather events.
This is followed by adaptation costs, such as levees or ponds for flood control.
The third is the so-called avoidance costs, such as the costs of switching from fossil to renewable energy to limit future global warming.
Because it is not possible to have a clear and comprehensive picture of all the costs incurred, it is actually very difficult to calculate precise figures for the economic costs of climate change.
Therefore, the calculated cost can only depend on the assumptions made, and it is very difficult to accurately grasp the costs of such things, such as melted permafrost, so it is extremely difficult to analyze the chart below.
Photo Credit: Business Week Publishing / Produced by Lisa Schwegler, Stefan Kraiss, and Janna Geisse Because of these high levels of uncertainty, it is very difficult to know exactly what climate protection measures should be taken and how much it should be interfered with from a purely economic point of view.
If people want to limit warming to 1.5 ° C, they will have to pay a very high investment cost.
Compared to setting the temperature rise range at a maximum of 3.5 ° C, the investment cost, although significantly reduced, will result in higher damage costs.
Overall, the cost of limiting global warming should be much less than the cost of damage caused by an unrestricted rise in global temperatures.
It is worth noting that as the temperature rises, the risk of irreversible damage is also increased.
Photo Credit: Businessweek / Lisa Schwegler, Stefan Kraiss, and Janna Geisse conclude that climate change is not a distant vision of the future, and that it represents more than just melting icebergs and rising sea levels, which are already threatening many people and their livelihoods.
In addition, it also shows that the temperature rise observed since the beginning of the industrial era is mainly due to man-made greenhouse gas emissions.
Fortunately, there ’ s also some ironic good news: we have the opportunity to influence the future of the climate, and we ’ re not completely powerless against climate change!
Climate model simulations show that as long as humans reduce greenhouse gas emissions, it is expected to limit the development of global warming.
Photo Credit: Businessweek / Lisa Schwegler, Stefan Kraiss, and Janna Geisse produced a global average temperature forecast for greenhouse gas emissions, but since the United Nations Climate Conference (UN-Klimakonferenz) was first held in Berlin in 1995, global greenhouse gas emissions have risen by 50%, reaching a record high.
If human beings continue to produce large quantities of greenhouse gases, it is not impossible to imagine that global temperatures will rise by another 5 ° C by the end of the century.
Therefore, we must all be aware of our responsibility: how the future of the climate, and the extent to which the impact of global warming will worsen, is entirely in our hands!

When global temperatures rise by another 2 ° C, we will be forever separated from five foods: seafood, chocolate, wine, and more.
|
In the face of the dramatic changes brought about by climate change, agriculture and food production can be said to be the first line of disaster. As the temperature increases year by year, ocean acidification and unusual extreme weather have had a great impact on the human diet structure.
Animal and plant ecology closely related to human diet, the impact of rising temperatures is far greater than expected.
In an analysis published on January 14, 2021, NASA said that the 2020 surface temperature was the highest in history at the same time as 2016, pointing to the past 10 years as the hottest period in history.
In 2020, the global average annual temperature rose by more than 1.02 ° C compared with the average temperature from 1951 to 1980.
Even if there is a global consensus that we should try to control carbon dioxide emissions, according to NASA analysis, even if the COVID-19 epidemic swept the world in 2020, industrial, agricultural and other industries have been affected and reduced production, and the number of air and shipping flights has also been significantly reduced. Average temperatures are also forecast to continue to climb in 2021.
Surface temperature records from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) instrument on NASA ’ s Aqua satellite confirm that NASA ’ s GISTEMP database over the past seven years is the warmest on record: Rising temperatures will wipe out five foods. This refers to the total greenhouse gas emissions from the food life cycle, starting with raw materials, production processes, transportation, and more.
The following five products are food types with a high carbon footprint: 1. Wheat and wheat as an important staple food source for human beings, due to climate change, there are more challenges in cultivation, including rising temperatures year by year, decreasing rainfall and growing plant diseases and pests.
According to a 2019 study by the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center, a nonprofit organization, ongoing climate change and drought will affect 60% of the world ’ s wheat production, potentially triggering food shortages and famine in the future.
Maple syrup is a representative agricultural product in North America, which can be almost directly equated with Canada, and the production of maple syrup, including sugar content and the flow of syrup, is highly correlated with temperature and rainfall.
According to relevant research, the rising temperature until 2100, the entire maple sugar harvest season will be one month ahead of schedule, and the sugar content will decline by 0.7 ° Brix, so far as Canada's maple sugar industry is facing a decline in production.
3, seafood due to the rise in global carbon dioxide content, seawater acidity is constantly increasing, the current acidity value of seawater compared with before industrialization, has been 25% higher.
Coupled with rising temperatures, marine life is also facing changes in its physiological structure.
At present, relevant research has pointed out that marine organisms that have been exposed to acidified seawater for a long time have had direct and indirect effects related to physiology, such as bone changes and metabolic changes.
The study also pointed out that such a mutation will become a genetic inheritance of marine life, and as the temperature continues to rise, marine life may die due to poor adaptation, or the destruction of the original habitat of the sea, resulting in the depletion of fishing.
4, chocolate Although the raw material of chocolate "cocoa" is a drought-tolerant crop, it can withstand the high temperature of the festival, but the cocoa tree can not withstand the resulting lack of water.
By 2050, the average temperature in West Africa is likely to increase by more than 2 ° C, and in a state of limited rainfall, cocoa trees will expel the necessary water from their bodies to sustain life.
In short, without a stable source of water, cocoa production will decline, and the price of chocolate will rise in the future.
5, wine the most direct impact on grape production factors, including climate, soil and grape varieties, all factors combined will constitute a complete cultivation system. Temperature and water affect the maturity of grapes, grape yield and quality, when the grape yield and quality changes, it may fluctuate to the price.
According to a 2010 study, if temperatures rise by more than 2 ° C by 2100, 56% of the world ’ s grape growing areas will be destroyed.
This is not imaginary, it is happening. In mid-March 2021, the temperature in parts of France soared to 26 ° C, and suddenly the high temperature caused the grapes in the French vineyards to start to blossom early, and by the beginning of April, the temperature suddenly dropped to -7 ° C, which was followed by frost freezing, and 80% of the vineyards in France were severely affected. This year, the harvest of French grapes may reach a record low due to climate change.
The French Federation of Agriculture (FNSEA) believes that this spring frost is not only a threat to viticulture, but also to tree cultivation, and the impact of these two will bring about a loss of nearly 3 billion euros (NT $101 billion).
Not only the food crisis, but also the survival challenge of the whole human race "only" to rise by 2 ° C, it may sound like the human body's feelings may not be great, but behind it is a larger problem and challenge, environmental changes are affecting the global food ecosystem.
The reasons that affect these things are related to human life habits and habits, and carbon emissions from large to the entire supply chain, small to the use of automobiles and motorcycles, will have an impact on the environment and harm.
When all of humanity works together to reduce carbon emissions, it is possible to contribute to the current environmental crisis facing the planet.

Arab countries support Palestinian Trump-Trump peace deal "broken"?
|
(Getty Images) Israel ’ s bombardment of Gaza has killed more than 100 people. (Getty Images) The deadliest war in recent years between Israel and the Palestinians has seen a surge in Palestinian deaths and a wave of outcry from many countries in the Middle East, including the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Bahrain, which signed the Abraham Accord last September under former President Donald Trump to normalize relations with Israel.
Whether the Middle East peace deal, seen by Trump as a major diplomatic achievement and the complete marginalisation of Palestine, has “failed ” has attracted much attention.
Analysts point out that the Middle East ’ s anger at this time has seriously overturned the central assumption of the Abraham Accord: “The Arab world no longer cares about the suffering of the Palestinians, but is content to let its own government embrace Israel based on other common interests. ” Tareq Baconi, an analyst at the International Crisis Group, said that the Middle East peace agreement signed under the Trump administration, Take the view that the Palestinians will not act; but now, the situation has changed and“ the Palestinians are moving. ”
Demonstrations in solidarity with the Palestinians have taken place, including in Bahrain and Morocco, which signed an agreement with Israel last year.
As for Saudi Arabia, which had previously suggested that its relationship with Israel was heating up because both Saudi Arabia and Israel had to face Iran as a common enemy, the tone of comments in pro-government newspapers in Saudi Arabia has suddenly shifted, accusing Israel of “criminal acts ” against the Palestinians and drawing parallels between Israel and Iran.
The “Abrahamic Agreement, ” signed at the White House in September last year, fully or partially normalizes Israel ’ s relations with the Arab League, Bahrain, Sudan and Morocco; Trump claimed the agreement would“ change the course of history ” and “this is a bloodless Middle East peace. ”
Critics point out that some of the agreements were made by authoritarian governments that did not truly represent the people, and that the United States offered incentives like bribes to those governments to nodded and sign.
As for the Palestinians, the agreement is a dangerous milestone as Arab governments abandon a peace initiative first proposed by Saudi Arabia decades ago that requires Arab states to normalize full relations with Israel only if a peace agreement is reached between Israel and the Palestinians.

Stanford University draws new city model to encourage walking, cycling
|
Researchers at Stanford University have combined decades of public health information and urban landscapes to create new models of cities. (Photo: courtesy of Stanford University) New research from Stanford University shows that trees along the street can encourage people to spend more time walking or cycling to work, and people can use these natural environments to exercise and improve their health.
To this end, researchers at the University of History have combined decades of public health information and urban landscapes to create new urban models that, through new planning, can lead people to live healthier lives.
The study, published in the National Academy of Sciences, describes how people can improve their health by exercising directly in cities through natural resources.
According to the study, Americans often lack exercise and other physical activities, resulting in $117 billion a year in related medical costs.
Globally, 3.2 million people die from illness due to lack of exercise.
Therefore, how people can increase their sports opportunities is also an important well-being.
Roy Remme, an environmental scientist at Stanford University, said that 2020 coincides with the epidemic, and in the prevention of the epidemic at home, we have learned how precious and valuable it is for city residents to spend time outdoors in nature.
Therefore, urban planners should review the creation of green space in the city, which not only supports people's health, but also allows everyone to benefit from nature.
He said that the research team combined decades of public health research with information such as the benefits of nature to city residents, and simultaneously considered the planning of dog walking, jogging, cycling, gardening activities, and considering the security and feasibility of urban greening, and established a model framework for the city to create a natural state in the city to make people's bodies better.
According to Gretchen Daily, senior author of the Stanford Natural Capital Project, living in nature can enhance memory, attention and creativity, as well as happiness, while also increasing social engagement and meaning in life.
Nature also stimulates physical activity, reduces cancer risk, boosts metabolism, and makes other body functions more effective.
As the world becomes more urbanized and city-centric, the ability to easily access natural resources is becoming less and less, says Daley.
The problem is even more acute, especially in communities where there is an explosion of residential capacity.
So how to identify these overburdened communities, communities that lack natural resources, and try to solve the problem to provide people with a more valuable way of life has become a new challenge.

Federal appeals court upholds Monsanto herbicide cancer-causing award of $25.2 million
|
(Getty Images) A federal appeals court today upheld a ruling in a Bay Area lawsuit against Roundup, the world ’ s best-known herbicide maker, Monsanto, to pay damages to a Bay Area man who died of cancer after using Roundup for more than 26 years. The man was $25.2 million.
This is the first federal decision in thousands of Monsanto lawsuits.
The Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco said that the evidence presented in the case of Edwin Hardeman, a Bay Area man, supported the jury ’ s findings, while Monsanto deliberately downplayed and ignored calls to test Roundup for cancer risk.
However, a judge objected, saying the amount of compensation should be reduced to $10.4 million.
Hardman lawyer David Wool said the ruling was a victory for consumers around the world.
Monsanto ’ s parent company, Bayer AG, said it was disappointed, stressing that its products were safe and would seek a review by the U.S. Supreme Court.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency considers Roundup and its main ingredient glyphosate to be safe and allows it to be marketed without warning labels.
However, in 2015, the International Agency for Research on Cancer, affiliated with the International Health Organization (WHO), concluded that gafossa is carcinogenic.
(Getty Images) The 72-year-old Hardman began using Roundup when he lived in Gualala, Mendocino County, and continued using it after moving to Santa Rosa, Bay Area.
He was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2015.
After four years of chemotherapy and other treatments, doctors say his condition has eased, but he will have a higher risk of cancer in the future.
After finding that Roundup was a substantial cause of Hardman ’ s cancer, a federal court in San Francisco in July 2019 ordered Monsanto to pay Hardman $5.2 million and $75 million in punitive damages to Monsanto ’ s sales office for knowingly unsafe products.
However, federal judge Vince Chhabria reduced the amount of punitive damages to $20 million on the 14th.
In most cases, he said, the Supreme Court limits punitive damages to four times the amount of the party ’ s compensation.

Court of Appeal rules Roundup herbicide is carcinogenic and should pay $25 million in damages
|
(Getty Images) Roundup, the world-renowned herbicide brand, has caused cancer to many users due to its carcinogenic ingredients. (Getty Images) Roundup, the world-renowned herbicide brand, has previously ruled that Monsanto, the agricultural biotechnology research and development company responsible for production, should pay $25 million. of Appeals) on the 14th, upholding the previous judgment.
A total of three justices of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals voted on the case, dismissing the Monsanto appeal in a 2-1 decision.
A lawsuit in 2019 found that a Roundup user, Edwin Hardeman, received $5.3 million in damages from Monsanto for cancer, and the company was asked by a jury for $75 million in damages for failing to properly label the product with carcinogens, but was ultimately reduced to $20 million by a judge.
Allegedly, there have been as many as 5,000 lawsuits filed against Monsanto in the past, and the court of appeal upheld the first-instance decision that Roundup herbicide contained the carcinogen “glyphosate ”, which caused many users to develop“ Non-Hodgkin ’ s lymphoma. ”
Hardman said he used the Roundup insecticide from 1980 to 2012 and was diagnosed with cancer in 2012, but Monsanto responded that non-Hodgkin's lymphoma may have been caused by Hardman's hepatitis C virus, or other causes.
Monsanto appealed, arguing that glyphosate was the main cause of Hardman ’ s cancer, and hoping to revoke the damages, but the Ninth Circuit dismissed it.
The judgment states that “independent studies prior to 2012 confirmed glyphosate ’ s link to cancer, ” and cites an email from a Monsanto toxicologist stating that the company was aware of the fact that glyphosate could affect human health.
In his ruling, Judge Ryan D. Nelson wrote, “The evidence shows that, despite Monsanto ’ s knowledge that the Roundup insecticide may pose a cancer risk to the human body, the company sought to downplay concerns about the safety of its products, constituting a condition of disregard or disregard for human life. ”

Canadian court: Iran ’ s downing of Ukraine Flight 752 was an act of terror – Radio France Internationale
|
OTTAWA (AFP) - A Canadian court today ruled that the shooting down of Ukrainian International Airlines flight PS752 by Iranian forces early last year was a deliberate "terrorist act" and that the decision will pave the way for possible compensation for the families of the victims.
On January 8, Ukraine International Airlines Flight PS752 crashed near Tehran, killing all 176 people on board, including 85 Canadian citizens and permanent residents.
Iran initially denied the Western accusations, but three days later admitted that the Iranian military shot down the other side "unintentionally".
The Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Canada said it had determined, after "weighing the odds," that the plane was hit by two missiles shortly after take-off in Tehran, as a result of a "deliberate" act.
Judge Edward Belobaba also ruled that “the plaintiff ’ s claim that the shooting down of Flight 752 was an act of terrorism. ”
The plaintiffs ’ lawyers called the ruling “unprecedented in Canadian law. ”
"This will have a significant impact on the immediate families of the victims seeking justice," they said in a statement.
The lawsuit, filed by the families of the four victims, seeks 1.5 billion Canadian dollars (about NT $35.3 billion).
They claim that Iran launched the missile attack in retaliation for the US killing of Qasem Soleimani, the commander of the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, near Baghdad airport in Iraq, days before the crash.
A final report released in March by the Iran Civil Aviation Organisation said the missile attack and the "vigilant" response of ground forces were the result of high tensions between Iran and the United States at the time.
Eleven Ukrainian citizens were killed in the crash.
The Ukrainian side pointed out that behind the report there was a "ridiculous attempt to cover up the real cause", while Canada said the report contained "no strong facts or evidence" and promised to publish its findings soon.
Iran did not defend itself in court, but three days after the crash admitted that Iranian forces shot down the Boeing 737-800 bound for Kiev.
The court will then decide on the amount of compensation. © 2021 AFP

30 thousand feet above the sky!
|
A thousand miles of arrogance, is the dream of many people, to become a pilot, after five points to cut six generals, less perseverance and perseverance can not be achieved, but people are not as good as God, an epidemic, heavy industry, look, life ups and downs are unusual, there will always be gains and losses.
After becoming a member of the unemployed army, I got the runner-up in TVB ’ s “Race to the Clouds ” last year and started performing arts, and became a part of Pearl TV ’ s“ Hong Kong Life ” program.
Enjoy the port.
Faced with the colorful world of entertainment, his favorite thing is still 30,000 feet above and the immutable dream of a pilot.
In an interview with the Eastern Network, he said that if the economic recovery is successful, it will have a great opportunity to return to the aviation industry and continue to fight.
1. If there is no epidemic, will you leave the pilot for a new challenge?
Sheng: If there was no epidemic, the airlines would not have fired me. I should have continued to fly, safe and comfortable! Now it is because of the epidemic that caused economic problems around the world. We will go to the airline disaster first, but it is fun and exciting to find new challenges, and I am playing my other talents. I am very positive about this, although I have no dreams. I think, when the aviation industry recovers in the future, I can continue to fly, I feel no problem, life try other things, continue to play.
2. Is becoming a pilot a dream?
Sheng: I really don ’ t dare to say that this is a small dream. I have never dreamed of it, I don ’ t dare to think about it. I was born and raised in Hong Kong, and my English is not good. I don ’ t think there is any possibility that I will come into contact with it, so when do I decide to do it? I practice English well, so I don't dare to say that it's a dream of a child, but I'm going in this direction when I'm older.
3: What is the biggest challenge of being a pilot?
Sheng: I want to be a pilot, especially a civil aviation pilot, the biggest challenge is to learn very fast, to learn a lot of things in a relatively short period of time, training our trainer has a saying, "drinking from the fire hose", literally drinking water from the fire hose. For you, you have to digest, learn, apply, and do this in a very short time.
Imagine a person who is completely inexperienced and does not know how to drive a plane. On the first day, he went to Australia to drive a small plane. After a year of practice, he immediately had to drive a civil aircraft. There are very many things to learn, so I think this is the biggest challenge.
The second biggest challenge, for local Hong Kong people, especially the problem of English, although Hong Kong dialect is an international city, but there are not many opportunities to learn English, because there is no such language environment around us, so Hong Kong people can become pilots, which is an additional challenge!
4. Did you see the Northern Lights during the flight?
Sheng: What a pity! I have not seen the Northern Lights.
Why? Because my driving is mainly short distance, mainly to Asia, Southeast Asia, Taiwan, the only way to see the Northern Lights, we have to fly from Hong Kong to the North American route, because it will pass through the North Pole, the people who fly long distance will see it first.
5. What are some dangerous things that have happened during a flight, such as a bird flying into an engine?
Sheng: Fortunately, it has not been tried. It is common for birds to hit the aircraft head, but to be honest, even if one and a half birds get into the engine, it is not a big problem, because the engine will definitely withstand these impacts, plus we will do a lot of inspections on the landing, engineers will check whether there is any damage, to ensure that the aircraft is safe, we can fly again.
6. Do I have to fly in flight mode?
Sheng: That's right, you must fly in flight mode.
In fact, many aircraft have WiFi service, so you can access the Internet.
There are always times when we drive an autoland (automatic landing), which requires a very precise instrument to control the aircraft, and in this case it is recommended to put out the electronics.
7: Have you ever dated a stewardess or fallen in love with a stewardess?
Sheng: I don ’ t have a date with a stewardess, I don ’ t know why, I don ’ t have a destiny! I don ’ t like dating people in my company, I can only say that I like to choose people in other industries, and they are beautiful, kind, smart and capable.

She was infected with the disease, her home was isolated, and the police broke the door and killed herself, leaving a note: I passed it on to my colleagues.
|
▲ The deceased blamed himself for passing the coronavirus to a colleague and committed suicide during isolation.
A woman infected with the disease in Fukuoka City, Japan, stayed in isolation for treatment on the 19th, but lost contact with her family on the 21st, and was found dead by the police at her home on the same day.
According to the situation at the scene, the police initially ruled out the possibility of killing him, and judged that it should be suicide
It is reported that the woman had revealed to a friend next to her that she was very blaming herself for spreading COVID-19 to her colleagues, which is probably why she would not open up.
In fact, as early as January, a confirmed woman committed suicide during home confinement and wrote in her suicide note, “I passed it on to my daughter. ”
According to Japanese media reports, the woman, who is in her 30s, lives in Fukuoka City. Her family developed fever, loss of appetite and other symptoms in mid-May.
The woman herself was diagnosed with COVID-19 on the 19th and was quarantined at home.
On the same day, the woman's company also showed other confirmed patients, she immediately said to a friend, "I infected him?"
The woman's family found that they could not contact her on the 21st, so they reported it to the police. How did they know that when the police rushed to the scene, they found the woman's body at home.
According to the circumstances of the scene, the police determined that it should be a suicide.
In fact, as early as January, a woman living in Tokyo blamed herself for passing on COVID-19 to her daughter, and eventually committed suicide during home isolation, leaving a suicide note.
Experts say that COVID-19, unlike other infectious diseases, can easily cause prejudice, so it is more likely to cause patients to feel uneasy or to feel guilty about causing trouble to those around them.
On the other hand, the number of confirmed cases of home isolation in Fukuoka Prefecture alone has reached 3,183, and the health center will contact the isolation person by phone every day to confirm whether there is a fever and related conditions, and if there is no contact, it will go directly to the door to check.
Experts also called on the government to provide support as soon as possible.

Bayer to reconsider Roundup Herbicide Formulation for U.S. Consumers
|
Bayer AG (BAYRY) said it will evaluate whether to continue to use the active ingredient in its popular Roundup herbicide in the U.S. residential supplies market.
On Wednesday, Bayer's attempts to limit future liability for whether the product could cause cancer suffered a setback in court.
Bayer said it would pay up to $9.6 billion in damages to settle an existing Roundup case related to non-Hodgkin lymphoma and another $2 billion for future claims.
The German company lost three lawsuits filed between 2018 and 2019 by Roundup users who said the product caused them to develop cancer, and the company is working to resolve about 125,000 similar claims.
Bayer is seeking to resolve future cases in a novel form of class-action settlement that seeks to involve Roundup users who have used Roundup but are not yet sick, and those who have cancer but are yet to be prosecuted.

Couples who used to spend time away from work find that the lockdown associated with the outbreak provides much-needed respite.
In the beginning, staying at home allows them to slow down and spend more time enjoying their intimate moments.
“Initially, the pandemic gave people the opportunity … to reconnect in a way that was previously only possible when they were on vacation, ” Jamia said.
But as the epidemic continues, it begins to “damage ” intimate relationships, she said.“ For most couples, sexual desire is declining. ” Studies from around the world have reached similar conclusions. Studies conducted in Turkey, Italy, India, and the United States in 2020 have all found that sexual and masturbatory behavior between partners is decreasing and correlated with blockage.
“I think that ’ s largely because too many people are stressed out, ” said Justin Lehmiller, a social psychologist and researcher at the Kinsey Institute.
The Institute conducted research in the United States.
For most people, the blockades caused by the pandemic have created an atmosphere of uncertainty and fear.
Many have experienced unprecedented levels of anxiety, economic insecurity, and other major life changes.
Stress caused by these factors leads to a significant decline in sex life, not to mention the problem of spending too much time with another person in a small indoor space.
To some extent, COVID-19 has proven harmful to sex life.
So, after the stress of the pandemic has dissipated, can we regain our sexual selves?
Or do intimate relationships suffer long-term damage?
Desire Decline Image source, Science Photo Library Jamia observed that many couples do get a brief boost in their sex lives at the beginning of the lockdown period.
Rhonda Balzarini, a social psychologist and assistant professor at Texas State University in the United States, explains this peak in sexual desire as a “honeymoon period, ” in which people respond positively to stress.
“At this stage, people tend to work together.
For example, when you go to a neighbor ’ s house and put the toilet paper they need on their doorstep, ” Barzarini said, “but as time goes on, fewer resources make people more stressed, less energetic, and more likely to have disillusionment and depression. ”
When that happens, we may begin to see problems between couples. ”
Barzarini and her colleagues conducted a study during the pandemic that observed this pattern in participants aged 18 and older from 57 countries.
When the pandemic began, Barzarini and his colleagues found that a number of factors were associated with high sexual desire between partners, such as financial worries.
However, over time, as people reported increased stress factors associated with the pandemic, including loneliness, general stress, and concerns specific to COVID-19, they also reported decreased sexual desire for their partners.
According to Barzarini, the important conclusion of this study is that stress, depression and sexual desire are linked.
Stress factors may not have “triggered depression ” at the start of the pandemic, she explains.
But when these stressors last longer, people feel exhausted.
Stress is associated with depression, she said, and “depression has a negative effect on sexual desire. ”
In addition to the daily stress of the pandemic, a greater threat from the virus is looming as mortality and hospitalization rates rise around the world.
This ever-present danger undoubtedly stifles the emotions of the lovers.
“You ’ ll hear a sex therapist say something like, ‘ Two zebras don ’ t mate in front of a lion, ’ ” Jamia says.
“If there ’ s a huge threat there, our bodies will signal, and now may not be a good time to make love. ”
So, she says, “high stress can lead to low desire or difficulty arousing sexual desire. ”
Balzarini said that although he had heard that couples would bathe during the day or swim together in the afternoon at the beginning of the pandemic, those experiences that were sexier than usual ended up “losing their appeal. ”
Instead, there is a growing list of trivial everyday things, such as the level of chaos in the home, and couples start picking on each other.
Lehmüller describes this phenomenon as "the overexposure effect."
Your partner ’ s little habits start to upset you. ” (Barzarini recalled being told that she had never realized that her partner chewed so loudly until they started eating every meal together during the lockdown.)
This increases the amount of time spent together and can also be severely inhibiting. “In a long-term relationship, one of the keys to maintaining desire is to maintain some mystery and a certain distance from your partner, ” Lehmüller said.
If you meet all the time, the mystery disappears. ”
Out of pre-pandemic social and professional life, people may also start to lose self-awareness, which can affect sexual confidence and performance.
During the pandemic, women in particular had to push their careers aside as the demands of housework, childcare and homeschooling fell disproportionately on them.
“It ’ s really, really hard for a lot of women, ” Jamia said.
“(Occupation) is an important part of identity, and we bring everything related to identity to the bedroom.
If you don ’ t know who you are, then suddenly you feel like you have nothing to contribute. ” Can you bounce back?
But sex doesn ’ t have to be fixed.
Researchers at the Kinsey Institute have proposed an action to improve couples ’ sex lives: changing the status quo.
One in five study participants tried something new on the bed, which helped restore desire and intimacy.
“People who try new things are more likely to improve, ” Lehmiller said.
According to the study, new activities that help improve a partner ’ s sex life include “trying new positions, role-playing, massage, etc. ”
But for those who have had less sexual behavior in the past year and have not recovered, will this cause lasting harm? Experts say it depends.
Some people may not be able to recover “because they have been out of touch for a long time, ” Lehmiller said.
His research also shows that some people betray their partners for the first time during the epidemic.
This rash behavior makes it difficult for the partner to recover.
There are also people who continue to suffer from pandemic related unemployment, as well as financial pressures hanging over the relationship, which can lead to friction.
But for many, there is hope.
As more people get vaccinated, businesses reopen and some workers return to the office.
“People are starting to go back to the old ways, ” Jamia said.
In practice, she saw the positive impact of these things on her partners.
Any form of “normal ” recovery is a good indicator for couples who start fighting during a pandemic.“ Once the epidemic is under control, some couples may return to their previous state, ” Lehmiller said.
This stressor has now been eliminated and sex life has improved. ”

Monsanto ’ s $2 Billion Settlement Rejected
|
San Francisco federal judge dismisses Monsanto Co.
Proposed $2 billion settlement.
The latter originally intended to reach a settlement with cancer victims who used Roundup herbicide to file a class action lawsuit, but was rejected by a judge on the 26th, arguing that the content of the settlement proposal would not be helpful to people who may be diagnosed with cancer in the future because of the use of Roundup.
More than 100,000 people nationwide with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and other cancers have sued Monsanto and its parent company Bayer AG.
However, the company cites multiple investigations by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), stating that Roundup is the most widely used herbicide in the world and is safe and can be legally sold without warning labels.
However, the International Association for Research on Cancer, a branch of the World Health Organization (WHO), said in 2015 that Roundup ’ s main ingredient is glyphosate, which is a possible cause of cancer in humans.
As a result of this discovery and other scientific evidence, three Bay Area juries awarded tens of millions of dollars in damages to cancer victims. On May 14, a federal appeals court awarded $25.2 million to a Sonoma man.
He has been spraying Roundup herbicide for 26 years and has been diagnosed with cancer.
Bayer also proposed a $9.6 billion settlement, hoping to settle pending litigation.
At present, about two-thirds of the cases have been resolved. The $2 billion settlement proposal that was rejected on the 26th was originally intended to settle the lawsuit that may be filed by herbicide users in the future.
Federal Judge Vince Chhabria said the settlement proposal was “clearly unreasonable ” for Roundup users who had not yet been diagnosed with cancer.
He noted that non-Hodgkin lymphoma is a potentially fatal lymphoma with a typical incubation period of 10-15 years, so four years of medical monitoring is of limited value for potential victims.
By the time they are diagnosed with cancer, the proposed compensation fund may have run out.
Thus, an independent panel to evaluate glyphosate seems a more reasonable proposal, but Monsanto has “lost the battle of experts ” in all three trials, including the case before the federal court in Sumatra.
Require the plaintiff to waive punitive damages in future litigation and reduce leverage in settlement negotiations.
In response to the ruling, Bayer said it would re-evaluate the future of glyphosate products in the U.S. residential market and reconsider the proposed settlement.
San Francisco attorney Elizabeth Cabraser, who agreed on the proposed settlement, was disappointed by the ruling and remains convinced that the settlement proposal could provide significant financial, health and safety benefits to Roundup users.
However, Bill Greese, scientific director of the nonprofit Center for Food Safety, believes the settlement will limit Bayer / Monsanto ’ s liability for cancer-causing herbicides, leaving many herbicide users in trouble.

Highway Patrol Playing Danger Fancy Approaching Challenging Cyclists Police Dance Iron Ride Left and Right Twist ｜ Apple Daily
|
[News] Traffic Police Road Duty Trail Primary School Chicken caused controversy. Yesterday, a traffic police officer driving a motorcycle on Castle Peak Highway patrol footage, footage of several cyclists walking through a deep well, a traffic police officer suddenly catch up from behind, driving beside the cyclists more "pick up the machine", standing up with a foot, repeatedly swinging the head, and riding a bicycle. Car posture, very "good".
Some road experts pointed out that the traffic police are not focused on driving, and there may be unnecessary accidents.
Police later explained that at that time, the police were handling a complaint about a bicycle occupying the carriageway, and were aware of the incident. If it is confirmed that someone has violated the regulations, they will take serious follow-up actions.
The scene was in the direction of Tuen Mun from Castle Peak Road, Sham Tseng. Yesterday morning, several cyclists with professional equipment were driving along the slow lane. No other road users were seen at the time. Some cyclists were two to three in a row.
After the bike group, two traffic police officers then drove, a police officer suddenly accelerated along the fast line to catch up, close to the cyclist, deliberately slow down, more imitate the position of the cyclist, standing on the foot to twist the head many times, the attitude is frivolous, the other cyclists looked stunned, the whole process lasted for five seconds, the traffic police then over the cyclist accelerated forward, the clip ended.
Many netizens saw the footage and reprimanded the traffic police for their behavior, questioning their driving attitude, "driving the bus with one hand steering wheel is careless driving", "not lighting, but also standing up, can you tell dangerous driving?" Some netizens joked: "A snake has hemorrhoids?"
Police: Handling a traffic lane complaint Police reply confirmed that the incident occurred yesterday morning, the police officer involved was handling a complaint about a traffic lane overtaking by a bicycle, stressing that police officers should comply with traffic laws and take road safety as the primary consideration in all circumstances when carrying out their duties.
The police are aware of the incident, and if it is confirmed that someone has violated the rules, they will follow up seriously.
Lee Yiu-pui, president of the Hong Kong Automobile Association, pointed out that even if it is not a police officer, ordinary motorcycle drivers need to pay attention to the road environment, whether there is a car in front of them, "Do this behavior, for their own safety, is not focused on driving, there is a chance of accidents." He pointed out that as a disciplinary force, it is important to act as an example, not only affect the image, but also ignore road safety.
The reporter returned to the scene in the afternoon, the address is a highway, cars are full of water, from time to time there are large goods vehicles driving at high speed, there are also several teams of bicycles driving back and forth, Mr. Yang, Sham Jing Kaifang criticized the police officers involved for violating professional ethics, it is difficult to understand their practice, "it is not professional, it seems ironic."
Mr. Yuma and Mr. Yoon, who have been cycling in Fukui for more than 10 years, said that even if the police officers' behavior was funny, it was superfluous. "Maybe they were so happy and they wanted to play."
Ma said that he occasionally encountered private car provocations, "there is a fast line does not go to the Tedeng Gate buried the slow line", but the police provocation is still the first time to see, although the action is not very dangerous, but it is not necessary.
In recent years, there have been many controversies involving traffic police driving. In March last year, a traffic police officer drove a motorcycle to the Stonecutters Bridge and suddenly opened his hands and swung downwards.
In November last year, during the third year of the strike, a 21-year-old student named "Bear Cake" was shot in the abdomen by traffic police officers with live ammunition. On the same day, a traffic police officer riding a motorcycle hit the demonstrators. The police later explained that the police officer had been on leave and waiting for investigation.

US study finds that parks not only did not spread the epidemic during the coronavirus, but also played an important role - International
|
To shed light on whether parks could be the cause of the pandemic, Drexel University surveyed 22 parks in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and New York City, New York to see how people use them during the pandemic.
It turned out that these parks were not associated with confirmed cases in the surrounding communities.
The team concluded that the park did not increase the spread of COVID-19 during the pandemic, but instead provided a place of comfort for people seeking respite from social isolation.
The research report has been published in the Journal of Serious Events, Volume 7, No. 4, 2020.
The paper pointed out that cities are particularly vulnerable to epidemics due to high population density and transportation links, and the links between cities and cities have accelerated the spread of disease. With the COVID-19 pandemic, urban closures, schools and businesses in the United States have been closed, and people's social activities have been canceled.
It ’ s not just the movement of people that ’ s reduced, but also changes in air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, and wildlife behavior.
As a green infrastructure, parks in cities not only provide biodiverse habitats to increase biodiversity and reduce urban heat island phenomena, but also promote social connections, entertainment, leisure and community organizing activities to build trust and create workplace attachment.
This kind of social support and psychological feeling can bring people physical and mental health and happiness.
However, with the COVID-19 pandemic, the government has restricted social gatherings; people spend more time at home, and the park ’ s role during the pandemic has become increasingly uncertain. Although the park has helped to reduce feelings of isolation and anxiety, it has also been suspected of being a place of exposure to the coronavirus.
Indeed, existing literature indicates that without proper disinfection of park facilities, viruses can attach to metal and plastic objects for hours, or even days.
In addition, the concentration of people in the park has also greatly increased the opportunity for the virus to be transmitted through spittle; combined with a large number of street friends gathered in the park, it has also caused government agencies to be worried that the park will become the tipping point of the epidemic and close it.
To explore whether parks could increase the spread of COVID-19, the team surveyed 22 parks in Philadelphia and New York City.
During the study period from May to July 2020, 22 parks were selected based on low, medium, high, and high population density and low social vulnerability. Of these, 15 parks were located in Philadelphia and 7 in New York City. The park, still open for use throughout the pandemic.
It was found that parks were used more frequently in areas with high population densities, with men using them at a higher rate than women.
However, the study found that the increase in the use rate is not equivalent to the increase in the transmission rate of COVID-19 in neighboring communities.
In fact, the spread of COVID-19 is more related to social vulnerability.
Second, judging from the pattern of park use and whether or not tourists engage in high-risk behaviors (such as contact sports without social distancing, not wearing masks, coughing and covering their mouths), only a small proportion of park users do not wear masks, accounting for 22.7% and 1.2% in New York; only 0.7% in Philadelphia and 0.9% in New York are spitting or coughing without covering their mouths.
Similarly, about 1.6% of visitors and 12.9% of visitors to New York engage in contact sports in the park.
The team said that while it is understandable that the government closed the park due to careful consideration, the study showed that there is insufficient evidence to confirm that the increase in park use during the pandemic caused the spread of the epidemic.
People continued to visit the park during the lockdown, reflecting the severe epidemic as the park became a place for residents to breathe psychologically.
Of course, this does not mean that the park has no transmission risk at all; on the contrary, it is because most park users maintain social distancing, wear masks, avoid contact activities, and even avoid touching their faces and washing their hands frequently that the park has become a safe haven for the mind.

The park is not broken! US Study: A Breathing Place for a Period of Social Isolation
|
▲ The park is known as an urban oasis, providing a habitat for animals and plants while also allowing people to have a good place to relax.
A new study from Drexel University in Pennsylvania shows that instead of increasing the risk of infection, community parks have become less space for people to breathe in social isolation during the pandemic.
The study points out that because most park users will wear masks, maintain social distancing, and reduce touch on the face, this is the key to making the park a spiritual haven in epidemic prevention life.
▲ At the beginning of the epidemic, the flow of people in New York City ’ s Central Park remained the same. (Photo / Reuters) In the study, funded by the National Science Foundation, Drexel University selected 15 parks in Philadelphia and 7 parks in New York City based on population density and social vulnerability, and conducted a three-month survey of park use and the number of new cases in the community during the peak of the May to July 2020. The correlation is not high.
Dr. Franco Montalto, a professor at the School of Engineering and one of the lead authors of the study, said that although it was previously predicted that the concentration of people in parks could cause virus transmission, and many local governments were careful to close parks, the study found that most parks were not closed, and parks in Philadelphia and New York remained open during the epidemic.
In fact, the extent of the epidemic in the community is more closely related to social vulnerability.
▲ Many people in New York Central Park gathered for picnics and rest, causing concern about the virus infection, but research shows that the expansion of the epidemic has nothing to do with open parks. (Photo / Reuters) Research shows that the proportion of Philadelphia park users without wearing a mask is 22.7%, compared to 1.2% in New York. About 0.7% in Philadelphia parks and 0.9% in New York, overall, only a small percentage of people do not comply with the epidemic regulations, and most users not only wear masks, maintain social distancing, and even avoid touching their faces and washing their hands.
South Koreans still wear masks to walk in Hanjiang Park during the epidemic.
While broader epidemiological research is needed, the study, published in the Journal of Extreme Events in 2020, found no evidence that public visits to parks, which are not only safe but also play an important role in providing respite during social isolation, reported Reuters.
During the lockdown, people continued to use the park, highlighting the park ’ s obvious value in the lives of citizens, Montado said.

Joan Didion ｜ Literary methods rewrite the style of news "Core Disruption", a peek into the life of a talented woman legend - Alan ｜ Apple Daily
|
After watching Fran Lebowitz ’ s “Pretend It ’ s A City ” earlier, it happened that Netflix ’ s algorithm recommended another documentary,“ The Center Will Not Hold, ” which introduced the life of American writer Joan Didion.
Now 86 years old Didion is active in the United States in the 1960s and 1970s, and is a temple figure in the American cultural community.
She is even the "demon" inspiration for "The Devil in Prada", Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour is willing to remove the black super, and talk about the former generation with great respect.
Documentary gives us a glimpse into the life of this legendary writer and how talented women are made.
Joan Didion says she has been writing since she was five years old, and loves to bury herself in the world of books. Ernest Hemingway is her favorite writer, and she is said to have typed out her words sentence by sentence in her childhood to understand sentence structure and learn writing.
After earning her degree in English from the University of California, she won the Prix de Paris, a prose writing competition organized by the fashion magazine Vogue Magazine, and began working as a research assistant at the magazine, where she worked for seven years as an assistant fashion editor.
The 1960s was a turbulent decade in the history of the United States, with major events such as the assassination of President Kennedy, the massive counterculture movement it triggered, the love and liberation of the hippie "revolution", and the famous murder of nine people by the Manson family (Charles Manson), the pregnant wife of director Roman Polanski, Sharon Tate, among others. The hysterical world looks in the eye, and uses its sharp and unique, highly rhythmic approach to describe scenes and people ’ s dialogues, making people feel like they are living in the world and reading like a novel. Didion adds the author ’ s personal feelings to reports to write current affairs, this poetic and literary style has changed the traditional way of reporting news, and is the ancestor of “New Journalism ”.
What made her shine was her 1968 novel Slouching Towards Bethlehem, a collection of essays she wrote from 1965 to 67 about the runaway Los Angeles.
The title “The Centre Will Not Hold ” is derived from the novel, and Joan Didion quotes from W. B. Yeats ’ poem“ The Second Coming ”: “Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold ” to account for the rapid disintegration and disorder of American society, morality, and culture at that time.
In addition to writing novels and essays, she later wrote political reviews, stage plays and film scripts, becoming an icon of American culture and a true talent.
Didion's personal life is also legendary.
The documentary takes half of the story about how she met her husband, writer John Gregory Dunne, and later became a couple, and how the two lived together in California, writing scripts, novels and magazine reports, and then adopted a baby girl, Quintana Roo Dunne.
But between 2003 and 2005, her husband and daughter died of sudden heart disease and pancreatitis, respectively.
In the face of the sudden double blow, Didion ’ s solution is to continue to write, perhaps because writing is the best way to treat her grief.
She later wrote “The Year of Magical Thinking ” and“ Blue Nights ”, which put the grief of the loss of a family into words, and also healed the pain of future readers.
Compared to Fran Lebowitz ’ s wit and humor, Didion is introverted and cautious.
The two have different styles and may represent two different faces of the East and West Coast of the United States.
However, similar is that writers always have some unique habits, such as Fran Lebowtiz starting to write at 10: 00 pm, Didion is writing when the refrigerator must have coke, and when the writing is exhausted, the manuscript is frozen in the refrigerator for a while.
The focus of this documentary is not on Joan Didion personally, but on the story of the life of the legendary writer, so that the audience can learn more about the modern history of the United States, and watch a class in journalism and history.

Feynman ’ s Proposition: The ‘ Grass Bags Science ’ and How to Learn Not to Deceive Yourself
|
Text: Richard.
Richard P. Feynman, Herbal Science – For Honest Claims: Witch Doctor, Super-Perception, South Pacific Islanders, Rhino Horn, and Wesson Edible Oil, how does it relate to college graduation ceremonies?
Answer: All of the above are examples that Feynman used to convince graduating students that honesty in science is more fulfilling than any praise or short success.
In this speech to the graduating class of 1974 at the California Institute of Technology, Feynman brushed aside peer pressure and the anger of the funders of research funding, and gave everyone a lesson on the ethics of science.
Here are some of Feynman ’ s ideas about science, pseudoscience, and how to learn not to fool yourself.
During the Middle Ages, the idea of rhinoceros horn as an enabler was one of the many crazy and absurd ideas that emerged. Then someone discovered a way to filter ideas by experimenting with what worked and what didn ’ t.
Of course, this method is gradually developing into a science.
It has been developing very well and we have entered the era of science today.
In fact, our time is so scientific that it is sometimes difficult to imagine how witch doctors could have existed before, because none of the ideas they put forward would work – at most, only a few would work.
However, to this day, I still meet many people who, sooner or later, talk to me about unidentified flying objects, astrology, or some kind of mysticism, extended consciousness, all kinds of new awareness, extra sensory perception (ESP), and so on.
So I came to the conclusion that this is not a scientific world.
Most people believe in all these amazing things, so I decided to study to see why.
And my curiosity in pursuit of truth led me to a dilemma, because I found that there was so much nonsense and waste in the world.
Dude, you're a long way off!
The first thing I want to study is all kinds of mysticism and mystical experiences.
Lying in a water tank isolated from the outside world, I experienced hallucinations for many hours and knew something about it.
Then I ran to Esalen, a hotbed of such ideas.
I didn ’ t know there were so many strange things out there that surprised me.
There are many huge hot spring baths in Isaron, built on a cliff platform thirty feet from the sea.
One of the most enjoyable experiences I have had in Esharen is sitting in these baths, watching the waves hit the stone beach below, watching the cloudless blue sky, and the quiet appearance of beautiful girls.
Once I was sitting in the bath, there was a beautiful girl in the bath, and a guy she didn ’ t seem to know.
I immediately began to think, “How should I talk to her? ”
I thought I should say something, and the guy said to her, “Well, I ’ m learning massage. ”
Can you let me practice? "
“Of course, ” she said.
They came out of the bath and she lay on a nearby massage table.
I thought, “That ’ s a great opening! I never thought I could ask that! ” He began massaging her big toes.
“I can feel it, ” he said,“ I can feel the dent. ”
Isn ’ t that sagittal? ” The girl said, “No, it doesn ’ t feel like that. ” I blurted out,“ Man, you ’ re far from sagittal! ”
The two of them looked at me, and I divulged my identity as a detective.
The girl said, "We're talking about reflexology."
I closed my eyes and pretended to meditate.
That was just one of many situations that made me panic.
I ’ ve also studied the phenomenon of hyperperception, and the most recent hit is Uri Geller, who is said to be able to bend the key by touching it with his fingers.
At his invitation, I ran into his hotel room and watched him perform his visualization.
He has not been as successful in the field of observation, and perhaps no one can see through my heart?
And my child held a key for him to touch, and nothing happened.
Then he said that his supersensory abilities were more able to work in water.
As you can imagine, we followed him to the bathroom, with the tap on, and he stroked the key in the water.
Nothing happened, and I couldn ’ t study the phenomenon at all.
Then I thought, what else do we believe? (At that time, I thought about the witch doctors, how easy it is to study their truth and falsehood: you just have to pay attention to them to achieve nothing.) So I went to find things that more people believe, such as “We have mastered the teaching method ” and so on.
At present, there are many ways of promoting and researching reading methods and mathematical methods.
But if you pay a little attention, you will find that the reading ability of the students has slipped — at least not much, although we are still asking them to improve their teaching methods.
This is a bad prescription from a witch doctor, and it is long overdue to be reviewed. How do these people know that the proposed method works?
Another example is how to deal with criminals, in which it is clear that we have made no progress.
There ’ s a whole bunch of theories out there, but our approach obviously doesn ’ t help at all in reducing crime.
However, all of these things appear in the name of science, and we study them.
The general public, relying on "common sense" alone, is afraid to be intimidated by these pseudoscience.
If a teacher thinks of some good way to teach her children to read, the education system will force her to use other methods – she will even be deceived by the education system into thinking that her method is not a good method.
For example, some parents of bad children, after disciplining their children, can not escape the shadow of guilt for life, only because the experts say, “It is wrong to treat children like this. ”
Therefore, we should really review the theories that do not work, and the science that is not science.
Some of the educational or psychological studies mentioned above are examples of what I call “cargo cult science. ”
There are a number of natives in the South Pacific, known as the Grass Bags.
During the Great War, these workers saw airplanes landing on the ground, unloading bags of goodies, some of which were given to them.
They still want the same thing to happen, so now they are laying the runway in the same place, lighting fires on both sides, building a small hut, and sending people to sit there, with two pieces of wood tied to their heads (pretending to be headphones) and a bamboo stick (pretending to be an antenna), thinking that this is equivalent to the pilot in the control tower.
Then they waited, waiting for the plane to land.
They did everything right, everything looked like it was in the war, but it didn ’ t work: there were no planes landing.
That ’ s why I call these things “Grass Bags Science ” because they ’ re so full of the look of scientific research, and everything is very similar, but in fact they lack the most important part, because the plane has never landed.
Next, I should reasonably tell you what they lack, but it is just as difficult to explain to the natives of the small islands of the South Pacific.
How can you convince them how to restructure their homes so that they can produce their wealth on their own? This is much more difficult than “telling them to improve the shape of their headphones ”.
However, I have noticed a general malaise in the “grass bag science ”, which is what we expect you to have learned after so much science in school — we never say explicitly what it is, but we hope you will learn from so many scientific studies.
Therefore, it is also interesting to discuss it openly as it is now.
This is the "scientific virtue", which is the honest principle that must be followed when conducting scientific thinking, and it means a little effort.
For example, if you are doing an experiment, you should include in the report everything that might overturn the experiment, rather than just what you think is right, you should include in the report other theories that can also explain your data, certain things that you have thought of but have been eliminated by other experiments, to make sure that others understand that these possibilities have been ruled out.
You must explain the finality of any argument you know that might make people suspicious.
If you know where something is wrong, or that something may be wrong, you must try to explain it.
For example, when you think of a theory, you must also write down the facts that are not conducive to the theory.
There is also a higher level of problem involved.
When you put a number of ideas together to form a big theory and propose what data it corresponds to, you should first make sure that it can explain not only the data that led you to come up with the theory, but also other experimental data.
In summary, the point is to provide all the information so that others can determine how much you ’ ve contributed, rather than just presenting data that will lead people to a certain view.
This is an excerpt from Feynman's Proposition: Honesty. Independent Thinking. Not Knowing.
Richard P. Feynman Translator: Wu Chengyuan, Shi Mingrui, Yin Ping, and Wang Bi have pioneered the nanotechnology era and kicked off the "grass bag science" I have a problem, is that when I encounter any mysterious thing, I want to solve it.
— — Feynman Physics Master Feynman is full of curiosity and sincerity, and he often uses unprecedented methods to effectively solve physical problems.
Feynman claims that his contribution to quantum electrodynamics is only “playing ” with physics and mathematics, and despite winning the Nobel Prize for it, his biggest prize is the joy of discovering things.
Feynman believes that when discussing any problem, there must be room for doubt, otherwise there will be no progress.
Only with doubt can we ask questions and learn; in order to continue to progress, we cannot completely close the door to the unknown, we must leave some gaps.
He even said that quantum electrodynamics left too many questions unanswered, like a “scam. ”
Many people wonder how Feynman managed to do a high level of research while maintaining a sharp and deep skepticism.
The best way to understand Feynman ’ s secret is to read Feynman ’ s Propositions, because it shows his passion for knowledge more clearly than any other book.
We can see in the book the true face of Feynman, who seems to be playing between different ideas, but has always mastered three key, namely, honesty, independent thinking, and recognition of the wisdom of not knowing.
The book also explores many of the issues Feynman has pondered.
In addition to physics, it also includes religion, philosophy, the future of computers, the nanotechnology he pioneered, the virtues of modesty, the taste of science, the future of science and civilization … Feynman also tells the scientific novice how to observe the world with curiosity, an open mind, and a skeptical eye.

120 million degrees of combustion 101 seconds land "artificial sun" new record
|
In the process of exploring fusion reactors, Lu reached another milestone, and the "artificial sun" of the Hefei Institute of Materials of the Chinese Academy of Sciences successfully achieved a new record of 120 million degrees Celsius burning for 101 seconds, five times the original record.
The comprehensive land media report said that the fully superconducting tokamak nuclear fusion experimental device (EAST) of the Hefei Institute of Materials of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has successfully achieved repeatable 120 million degrees centigrade and 101 seconds of plasma operation.
The report said that it also successfully achieved 160 million degrees Celsius in 20 seconds of plasma operation.
EAST previously held a record of 100 million degrees Celsius for 20 seconds.
This experiment means that land scientists have made the duration of extreme heat five times the original.
These facilities are part of the exploration of continental fusion reactors, and they offer hope for limitless clean energy on land.
However, there are still many challenges to overcome.
For the world ’ s scientists, this is a journey of discovery that has been going on for decades.
In fact, similar studies are being conducted in the United States, Europe, Russia, and South Korea.
China is also one of more than 30 countries participating in the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) project in France.
So-called “artificial suns ” because they are designed to replicate the nuclear fusion reactions that power the Sun.
During this reaction, a lot of energy is released.
To do this on Earth, scientists need to achieve extreme heat and keep it for longer.
Despite the progress made, there is still a long way to go to make fusion reactors a reality.
It is understood that the ITER project in southern France has been postponed several times, with the latest target being the generation of plasma by 2025. In February, the European Union pledged new funding for this, and China Nuclear Group will participate in the installation of the core equipment of ITER.

China ushers in park construction boom, concrete jungle makes way for green space
|
“Building a park is very much like controlling pollution — it looks like losing money, but it ’ s good for society, ” said Liu Jing, a professor of accounting and finance at the Yangtze River Business School in Beijing.
Parks offer an easy way to meet some of these social needs, though not cheap.
Like other municipal projects in China, officials can quickly relocate entire neighborhoods to make way for green spaces — even if residents complain.
According to the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the area of public green space in Chinese cities has increased nearly fivefold since 2001.
Zhang Guanghe, a retired factory foreman, goes for a walk in a renovated park in Shanghai twice a day.
Keith Bradsher for The New York Times Suzhou, famous for its ancient canals, opened 20 new parks in the past year.
The former imperial capital was opened and 28 new parks were built.

Middle East drama: Saudi Arabia, Turkey fight for TV audience
|
By Paul Law Last updated: 2021-06-03 13: 00 Turkey has been a soft power powerhouse in the Middle East for more than a decade, and its TV series have swept the entire Arab region.
Last year, local dramas became the annual hit in the Arab region, including “The Ambassador ’ s Daughter ” in Saudi Arabia,“ You Knock on My Door, ” which was popular with Arab audiences, and “Miracle Doctor, ” which was adapted from a Korean drama. It is also a good word.
In the face of the threat of domestic drama, Saudi Arabia, another big brother in the Arab world, naturally does not dare to ignore it. In recent years, it has actively developed the film and television industry, and even cooperated with the United Arab Emirates in order to “fight ” with Turkey in the field of television.
Is it face, interest, or a struggle for cultural soft power?
With its huge budget, excellent scenes and excellent acting skills, Turkey has produced a high level of drama in recent years.
The Capital: Abdul Hamid is pictured. (Getty) The history of Turkish television goes back almost half a century.
Forbidden Love, the first original drama, was produced in 1974, but its popularity began in 2006, when Turkey established its first satellite television station, and the series began to gain global exposure.
Two years later, Waleed bin Ibrahim Al Ibrahim, owner of the Middle East Broadcasting Center (MBC) in Saudi Arabia, bought the show and made it popular in the Arab region.
Among them, “Noor ”, a Turkish love story that aired between 2005 and 2007, reached an unprecedented audience of 92 million people; in early 2010,“ One Thousand and One Nights ” was exported to about 80 countries around the world; and in 2013, “Magnificent Century ”, an epic drama about Sulaiman, the Ottoman monarch, attracted more than 500 million viewers worldwide.
Each episode is usually about 60 minutes long on weekdays, and each episode is about 160 minutes long on weekdays.
These high cost productions featuring handsome male and female actors, with gorgeous scenes and catchy songs, plus romantic and Middle Eastern TV plots such as Noor, 1001 Nights, Ertugrul, which depict love, arranged marriage, extended family, patriarchy, and righteous struggle. The series has fascinated television viewers in the Arab world.
(Getty) Turkish dramas easily surpass foreign dramas in Mexico, the United States and South Korea in the Middle East, capturing the hearts of 200 million television viewers in the region, not only because there are no other strong competitors in the region, but also because Turkish producers re-dubbed the series with Arabic names and characters. In addition, the plot of the same Islamic culture makes the local drama more suitable to the tastes of Middle Eastern people than other overseas works.
However, in recent years, the development of Turkish and Saudi Arabia has been involved in the development of Turkish drama. In March 2018, the Saudi government and MBC stopped buying Turkish drama, when Sheikh Abdulaziz al-Sheikh, the Grand Chief of Saudi Arabia, described “Noor ” as“ anti-Islamic ” and “subversive ”, and said that the TV channel that broadcast the drama was“ God ”. and the enemies of its prophets ", and many of the region's major buyers went on strike to buy local dramas.
Egypt, another major market for Turkish dramas, has also banned Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan for “revenge ” after he backed then-President Mohamed Morsi during Egypt ’ s 2013 military coup, culminating in Abdel Fattah el-Sisi ’ s coming to power.
The development of Turkish dramas in the Middle East has been affected in recent years. (Getty) At present, support for the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamic movements remains a major controversy in both countries, and is why Turkish dramas have not been shown in the region.
As a result, local dramas in the Middle East dropped from US $80 million (about HK $621 million) per year to US $15 million (about HK $116 million) last year.
Due to the severe restrictions on development in the Arab region, local dramas have begun to look around the world in recent years. In 2018, they were released for the first time in Spain, which immediately set off a wave of drama in the region, and later expanded to several European countries, including Italy.
Jose Antonio Anton, Vice President of the Atresmedia Group, a Spanish media group that introduced local dramas, believes that Turkey is a country that combines modern and traditional aspects, and these elements are fully reflected in the local dramas, so that the world can know the country.
“Turkish dramas are generally of high quality, and the plot is also very avant-garde, containing all kinds of drama elements, such as drama, horror, crime, history, etc. ” In addition, Turkish TV has a huge budget, excellent scenes, excellent acting and outdoor video studios, which have been able to produce high quality TV series in the past two decades.
(Getty) In recent years, local dramas have also turned to the Internet, testing the water on video streaming platforms such as YouTube, Starzplay, Netflix, etc., in order to export to the world.
At the same time, the change of local dramas is not only the target of export, but also the variety of drama tends to be diversified.
The current COVID-19 pandemic has also unexpectedly provided more support for local dramas. With many countries suspending filming due to the epidemic, and stopping purchasing expensive Korean dramas in Europe and the United States, affordable local dramas will continue to attract the attention of the world.
To date, Turkey has surpassed Mexico and Brazil as the world ’ s second largest exporter of television series, after the United States, with exports in Europe, the Arab region, Central Asia and the Americas. To date, the country has contributed more than 150 TV series to an estimated 500 million viewers in 146 countries around the world.
It is estimated that the total value of domestic drama exports reached US $500 million (about HK $3.9 billion) last year, and it is expected that by 2023, TV drama exports will generate as much as US $1 billion (about HK $7.8 billion) for Turkey.
Turkish dramas successfully export soft power, bringing many tourists to Turkey, and domestic products are also popular. (Reuters) The Turkish television industry plays a major role in increasing the popularity of the country in Asia, Europe, Latin America and North Africa.
In recent years, there has been an increase in interest in local dramas around the world. This has also played a positive role in promoting Turkey ’ s national image and its manufactured goods, and the number of foreign tourists visiting Istanbul has increased, especially from countries that broadcast local dramas.
All of this suggests that Turkey ’ s soft power is being infiltrated through television dramas.
Saudi Arabia ’ s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman announced in 2018 that he would invest US $64 billion (HK $496.8 billion) over the next decade to develop the country ’ s entertainment industry.
The National Economic Reform Roadmap “Vision 2030 ” has“ loosened ” some socially conservative policies, such as the lifting of the 35-year commercial theater operating order in 2018.
Saudi Arabia expects to expand into other cultural areas in the future, encouraging arts, musical performances and other types of entertainment.
Saudi Arabia has loosened a 35-year ban on commercial cinemas. (Getty) In addition, the country will expand its film and television industry by building infrastructure, producing localized entertainment content and creating more than 30,000 jobs.
The authorities estimate that the country will have about 350 cinemas and 2,500 movie screens by 2030, with an industry value of about US $1 billion (about HK $7.8 billion).
The country also plans to double household entertainment spending, from 3% of GDP in 2018-2019 to 6% by 2030.
On the other hand, Saudi Arabia is also cooperating with the UAE to develop the film and television industry.
Among them, the US $40 million (HK $310 million) series Kingdoms of Fire, jointly funded by the two governments, was broadcast in 2019, highlighting the Ottoman Empire as the tyrant who has ravaged the Arab world for centuries.
In addition to co-productions, long-term cooperation programs between the two media companies also include training of production and acting personnel.
Kingdoms of Fire, a collaboration between Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, was launched in 2019. (Getty) Saudi film and television professionals are mostly young people under the age of 30, 34% of whom are women.
Many people see that the film and television development in countries and regions is becoming more and more vigorous, and they no longer oppose their children to enroll in relevant courses, believing that they can find the ideal job after graduation.
According to Mohamed Ghazala, dean of the Faculty of Film and Television Arts at Effat University, Saudi Arabia, “The demand for local talent and capabilities will continue to increase due to increased production and the opening of more cinema-related departments and institutes in Saudi universities. ” However, the Saudi film and television industry is also facing many difficulties, with 43% of the industry believing that it is mainly lack of funding, 13 A further 11% said there was a lack of training and education related to film and television.
Currently, the industry ’ s main funding and artistic support comes from three government funding agencies: the King Abdulaziz Center for World Cultures, the Film and Television Commission of the Cultural Affairs Bureau, and the Red Sea Film Festival.
Saudi director Hana Alomair said: "We are hungry for more, we are still talking about government support, investors have not yet taken concrete action."
She added that the increase in the number of cinemas should help encourage investment.
Crown Prince Mohammed has been actively developing the Saudi film and television industry in recent years.
In fact, Saudi Arabia is vigorously developing the film and television industry and shooting high-quality television series. In addition to economic reform factors, it also hopes to shape the national image through the film and television industry, promote its own views and values, and avoid the Turkish side's monopoly on the Middle East.
This is clearly due to the fact that over the past decade or so, Turkey has successfully capitalized on its soft power advantages by investing heavily in the film and television industry.
UAE producer Y u s e r Hareb, who works with Saudi Arabia, believes that Saudi Arabia is developing the film and television industry to create alternative options to offset the impact of local dramas on Arabs.
He believes that the Ottoman period was not honorable for the Arabs, even a "dark period", full of repression and criminal acts against the Arabs.
The Saudi and Emirati works are intended to break Turkey ’ s cultural influence in the region by telling “true Arab history ” that the Ottomans were neither protectors nor revivalists of Muslims.
Saudi Arabia also wants to export its cultural influence through the film and television industry. (Getty) The Saudi “drama ” is that both sides want to influence the Middle East by promoting their national characteristics and culture, and both countries ’ film and television industries want to beautify history and influence audiences, especially in which countries should be praised and reprimanded.
However, Saudi Arabia ’ s development of the film and television industry is short of fashion, and it seems difficult to say whether it can resist Turkish influence on a regional and global scale with its film and television works.

Tainan 》 Wake up the natural scenery of the park North District push "1 park, 1 tree, 1 grass" - Life
|
North District Mayor Li Huangxing (standing speaker) explained to the public the importance of green space and trees in the park. (photo by Cheng Bingzhang) In recent years, the Taiwan community has promoted special parks, increasing the artificial vehicles and concrete paving in the park, but reducing the characteristics of the park's natural environment. A tree, a meadow "reconstructs the natural ecology of the park.
In order to create a friendly environment for the park, various neighborhood parks in Taiwan have recently added many artificial playground facilities, and the original grassland has also been paved with hard cement, reducing the uneven soil caused by falls, but this has reduced the natural and ecological appearance of the park.
Most people in the community use the park green space as a sports orientation, and even planting or removing flowers and trees without authorization, which shows that the people's environmental concept needs to be strengthened simultaneously.
From next year, the Tainan City North District Office and Tainan Social University plan to select 10 parks from the 48 neighborhood parks in the area to promote the goal of "1 park, 1 tree, 1 grass", and the process brings the community to participate in the process, preserving a green area of the park, and arousing people's attention to the natural environment in the park through a tree planted in the park.
There are 30 tea trees in Changsheng Park in North District of Tainan City, and there will be tree houses in Heshun Park in the future. These will be natural assets for the people of the community.
Li Huangxing, the mayor of the North District, said that the neighborhood park is small in area, but rich in diversity. In the future, people will not only go to the park to exercise and play games, but also focus on cultivating large trees as natural teaching materials to accompany growth.

Human spaceflight - the new era has arrived
|
Private space company Axiom Space has announced an agreement with space exploration technology company SpaceX to add three crewed flights to the International Space Station, bringing the total number of missions the company has completed to four.
“We are excited to build a partnership with Axiom to make manned spaceflight easier for more people, ” said the president of Space Exploration Technologies.“ A new era of human spaceflight has arrived. ”
So far, SpaceX has put 10 astronauts into orbit, with government and private Crew Dragon missions slated for the coming year.
“SpaceX has paved the way with reliable commercial launch capabilities, and we are excited to work with them at this historic time, ” said Axiom CEO.
Axiom calls these private flights “pioneer missions ” because the unicorn space company is building habitable modules that will connect to the International Space Station and operate independently in orbit.

Monsanto fined $300 million for spraying banned pesticide on research crops – Radio France Internationale
|
LOS ANGELES (AFP) - U.S. agricultural biotech giant Monsanto today agreed to plead guilty to illegally spraying banned highly toxic pesticides on research crops at its facility in Maui, Hawaii, and will pay a $10 million fine.
Monsanto acknowledged in court documents filed with the Federal District Court in Honolulu that it sprayed Penncap-M insecticide on crops such as corn seeds in the Valley Farm in 2014, even though the Environmental Protection Agency was known to have banned the chemical in 2013.
"The violations in this case are a threat to the environment, the surrounding community and Monsanto workers," said Nick Hanna, the federal prosecutor for the Central District of California who is handling the case.
"Federal law and regulations stipulate that everyone who uses controlled and dangerous chemicals is responsible for ensuring that products are safely stored, transported and used," he said.

Afraid that the epidemic will not let children go home … The old man died in his home for 2 months before he was found full of soaked noodles and toilet paper
|
Before the COVID-19 epidemic, it was supposed to be the Dragon Boat Festival for families to get together and chat and eat a variety of foods. It was also impossible to get together because of the need for epidemic prevention, which made people feel somewhat lonely.
In Japan, where the epidemic has been unable to be effectively controlled, there have been many cases of lonely deaths, which has become another social problem under the epidemic.
According to the Japanese media “Yomiuri Shimbun ”, a man in his 80s was found dead in his home in Osaka Prefecture in March, and was pronounced dead for more than two months.
This man used to run a ramen shop, because of the epidemic, he told his sons "the epidemic is terrible, do not go home", and hoarded a large amount of epidemic prevention materials, and has been at home since last spring.
When the body was found, there were more than 10 boxes of instant noodles and more than 30 bags of toilet paper in the house.
Also in Osaka Prefecture, a 59-year-old man was found dead in early March, more than six months after his death.
This man has a sister, who lives only in Hyogo Prefecture, near Osaka, but has avoided meeting recently because of the epidemic, and did not expect to be permanently separated.
According to statistics in Osaka Prefecture, the number of “lonely deaths ” that were discovered more than four days after their deaths reached 1,314 last year, an increase of more than 10% compared to 19 years.
Companies responsible for lonely death related finishing and cleaning operations also said that there were only about 20 to 30 commissions in the past month, but the number of commissions soared to more than 100 in September last year, and 211 in March this year.
Keiichi Kawai, an emeritus professor at Meiji University who studies the theory of regional well-being, says that the epidemic has left elderly people who can communicate with their relatives and friends in a lonely predicament.
He called on the Government to pay attention to the problem, grasp the current situation of lonely elderly people, and provide timely support.

Tell your son not to go home! The body of Weng Chen was found two months ago... at home full of soaked noodles.
|
▲ An old man in Osaka told his son not to go home first because of the epidemic, but he died alone at home. (Graphic / from the free stock stocksnap) Journalist Wang Pei Yi / Compilation of COVID-19 continues to spread in Japan, but the authorities urged people to reduce the movement across counties and cities, but also unexpectedly exacerbated the problem and danger of “dying alone ”.
According to statistics, in the city of Osaka alone, 1,300 people died alone in 2020, 10% higher than in 2019.
An 80-year-old man living alone in Osaka Prefecture told his son “COVID-19 is terrible, don ’ t go home first ” at the beginning of the outbreak, but he was found dead in his home in March and died for up to two months.
According to the report of "Yomiuri News", in addition to reducing cross-county and city movement, under the epidemic, the proportion of people's livelihood members and social workers to watch and care has also been forced to decrease, and this has caused the problem of lonely death gradually.
A former ramen shop owner in his 80s lives alone in Omihata City, Osaka Prefecture. Although he lives separately from his two sons, his sons will return to their hometown to visit their relatives before the epidemic.
▲ The number of lonely deaths in Osaka alone is 10% higher in 2020 than in the previous year.
After the outbreak of the epidemic in the spring of 2020, the old man directly told his son “COVID-19 is terrible, don ’ t go home first. ” Then he couldn ’ t leave the house and stayed at home all day. In order to reduce the chance of being infected, the old man also bought a lot of toilet paper and foam.
However, the old man was found dead in his bedroom on the second floor of his home on March 18, and the cause of death is unknown.
Police arrived at the scene and found that there were more than 30 bags of toilet paper in the old man ’ s home, and more than 10 boxes of food including soaked noodles were stored in the kitchen.
A 59-year-old man living alone died in his home in the city of Kuta, also in Osaka prefecture, only to be found on March 6.
It was reported that he had been dead for more than six months.

700,000 people worldwide have died by suicide.
|
Suicide is one of the leading causes of death worldwide!
The World Health Organization (WHO) has issued a comprehensive suicide prevention guide to remind the media to report on suicide responsibly and develop social emotional life skills among adolescents in the hope of reducing the global suicide rate, in order to raise the risk of suicide due to the risk factors such as unemployment caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Four Strategies for Prevention A senior WHO official said that in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, risk factors such as unemployment, economic stress and social isolation are now becoming more important for suicide prevention.
To achieve the Sustainable Development Goal of reducing the global suicide rate by one third by 2030, WHO published the LIVE LIFE Comprehensive Guide to Suicide Prevention, which proposes four strategies: (1) limiting access to suicide; (2) educating the media to report on suicide responsibly; (3) developing the social emotional life skills of adolescents; and (4) identifying, assessing, managing and tracking anyone with suicidal thoughts and behaviours early.
According to UN News, WHO estimates that more than 700,000 people (1%) died by suicide in 2019.
Research shows that suicide is the fourth leading cause of death among young people aged 15 to 29, behind road traffic injuries, tuberculosis and interpersonal violence. While suicide rates vary by country, region and gender, analysis shows that men are more than twice as likely to commit suicide as women.
This rate is usually higher in high-income countries, while female suicide rates are highest in low-income countries.
According to the report, the global average suicide rate in 2019 was 9.0 per 100,000 people, while the WHO Africa region jumped to 11.2, 10.5 in Europe, 10.2 in Southeast Asia and 6.4 in the Eastern Mediterranean, the lowest of all regions.
In addition, the report shows that between 2000 and 2019, the global suicide rate fell by 36%, but it rose by 17% in the Americas.
Suicide, can not solve the problem; help, is the best way.

"The Intellectuals": Helping the FBI gather intelligence, Hemingway raises his profile in Havana's drinking scene
|
Paul Johnson Hemingway was certainly a gullible man, but he was also consciously involved in a lie that was revealed in his Spanish war novel, The Sound of the Battlefield Bell.
He knew the dark side of the Republicans, and probably knew some truth about the Spanish Communist Party from beginning to end.
He did not publish this book until 1940.
As long as the civil war was not over, Hemingway was on the same side as those who tried to ban George Orwell ’ s Homage to Catalonia, and the truth was left behind by political and military expediency.
His speech to the Writers ’ Conference was a complete fraud.
It was also strange that Hemingway had no intention of following his own advice and “studying war. ”
The United States has been seriously involved in the holy war against Nazism since 1941, but he has not participated.
By then, he had purchased his home in the outskirts of Havana, Cuba, where Finca Vigia was his main residence for the rest of his life.
The success of Battlefield Bell became one of the best-selling books of the century, earning him a huge income, and he wanted to enjoy it, especially his favorite sport of the day, deep-sea fishing.
It turned out to be another infamous episode of his life, known as "The Crook Factory".
Hemingway loved to make friends in the lower echelons of the city, especially in Spanish-speaking countries.
He likes to hang out with suspicious people, such as bullfighters, drug addicts at the beach cafes, pimps, prostitutes, amateur fishermen and police informants, who also respond enthusiastically to his offers of drinks and tips.
In Havana during the war of 1942, he became increasingly convinced that there was an immediate danger of being taken over by fascists — he believed that 300,000 of Cuba ’ s residents were Hispanic, of whom 15,000 to 30,000 were “violent felons ” who could stage riots and turn Cuba into a Nazi outpost in front of the United States.
In addition, he said he had reliable information that German submarines were cruising in Cuban waters, and he calculated that a thousand submarines could allow 30,000 Nazi troops to land in Cuba to assist the rioters in the country.
It ’ s hard to say if he really believes these wild ideas: Throughout his life, Hemingway has covered up his gullible heart with apparent sophistication on almost any subject.
He may have been influenced by Erskine Childers ’ spy novel The Riddle of the Sands.
He actually convinced the American ambassador to do something, Spruille Braden, a friend of his who drank and played sports.
Hemingway suggested that he should recruit and command a team of secret agents from among his underclass friends to spy on fascist suspects, and that he would use his ocean-going motor boats, equipped with appropriate weapons, to patrol areas where German submarines might be infested, in an attempt to lure them to the surface.
Braden agreed to the plan and later praised it.
As a result, Hemingway was paid $1,000 a month to six full-time agents and twenty undercover officers selected from his coffee shop team.
What ’ s more, there was strict military rationing, and he was able to get 122 gallons of oil per month for his ship, which was armed with a heavy machine gun and a grenade.
Hemingway called his yacht the "Hook Factory", which boosted Hemingway's reputation in Havana's drinking circles, but there was no evidence of fascist spies there.
Hemingway made a primary mistake and paid more for a good report.
The FBI disapproved of such speculation, telling Washington authorities that what Hemingway ’ s party produced was “an ambiguous, unsubstantiated report made by a figure who liked to stir up society — his data was almost useless. ”
Sensing the FBI's hostility, Hemingway reported that all agents were Irish, Catholic, Franco supporters, and "military evaders."
There are also ridiculous incidents that are unlikely to happen in a spy story, including one of Hemingway ’ s agents reporting a “malicious package ” at Bar Basque, which was later confirmed to be a cheap Life of St Teresa of Avila.
As for the patrol against German submarines, it confirmed the critics ’ view that he needed gasoline for fishing.
One eyewitness recorded, “They did nothing to kill — nothing to build. ”
Just sailing around and having a great time. "
The incident led to a heated argument in Hemingway.
The Spaniard he admired most was General Durán, who inspired him, along with Manuel, to create Robert Jordan in The Sound of the Battlefield Bell.
Durand was exactly the kind of man Hemingway wanted to be — a master of strategy from an intellectual.
A former musician, Durán was a friend of the Spanish composer De Falla and the Spanish guitarist Segovia, and a member of the pre-war Spanish intellectual elite.
But he held a view that Hemingway also agreed, that “modern warfare ” requires“ wisdom, ” which is “the work of the intelligentsia … war is also poetry, tragic poetry. ”
In 1934, Durán received a reserve commission for the Spanish army, was called up at the start of the civil war, and quickly became an outstanding general, eventually commanding the 20th Army.
After the fall of the republican regime, Durand volunteered to join the British and American armies, but returned without success.
When Hemingway came up with the idea of the Hook Factory, he used his influence to bring Durand into the U.S. Embassy to take charge of the conspiracy.
Meanwhile, the general and his English wife, Bonté, were visiting Hemingway ’ s estate.
But Durand soon saw that the whole thing was a farce, and Hemingway was wasting his time.
He applied for another job when Bondi and Hemingway ’ s then-wife, Martha, had a heated personal argument that broke out at an embassy luncheon.
Hemingway never spoke to Durand again, except in May 1945, when the two met by chance, and Hemingway laughed contemptuously, "You tried so hard to stop the war, didn't you?"
This is a characteristic of the tone that Hemingway tends to adopt when arguing with his former friends.
He extolled the virtues of friendship in moral codes and in his works of fiction, but found it surprisingly difficult to remain friendly with anyone.
Like many intellectuals — such as Rousseau and Ibsen — he was particularly vicious in quarrelling with other writers.
Even by the standards of literary life, Hemingway was always jealous of the talent and success of others, and by 1937 had quarreled with every writer he knew.
There is one exception that is worth noting, and this one reflects extremely much of himself.
The only writer he doesn ’ t attack in his autobiography is Ezra Bond, and has praised him all along.
From the moment they first met, he admired Bond ’ s unselfish friendliness with other writers, and he received sharp criticism from Bond (who would certainly not have accepted it if he were someone else), including in 1926 Bond ’ s shrewd suggestion that he should start taking novels seriously, rather than publishing a collection of short stories, in a typical way: “What do you think you are? ” Mingwei seems to appreciate that Bond has a virtue he knows he lacks, that is, he is not jealous of his peers at all.
When Bond was at risk of execution in 1945 for treason (broadcasting more than 300 times to the Axis), Hemingway effectively saved his life.
When Bond was formally indicted two years ago, Hemingway said, “He ’ s obviously crazy. ”
As you can see, he was already delirious at the end of his Canto … He has been generous and selfless in helping other artists for a long time, and he is one of the greatest poets alive today. ” As a result, Hemingway successfully defends his insanity by sending Bond to a prison hospital where he is not put into a gas chamber.
Related book excerpts ▶ "The so-called intellectuals": Marx's way of responding to financial difficulties, first of all, is to exploit his own family. This excerpt is from "The so-called intellectuals: those who are popular in the era, and their inner demons (upper and lower books are not sold separately)", published together by Paul Johnson.???
Paul Johnson ’ s most highly regarded and controversial classic — a must-read book for modern people — made intellectuals seem to be guides and mentors for humanity two hundred years ago.
They have a great moral mission and therefore need unique insight to see the truth for humanity.
However, the most important lesson of modern society is to beware of intellectuals.
They have sacrificed millions of innocent lives for the sake of human progress.
This book takes a closer look at the private lives of more than a dozen of the most iconic intellectuals of our time.
You will find that their eyes are often inaccurate and often contradictory.
They are inconsistent, extremely vain, deceptive, complex sexual relations, most abandon their families and children, and extreme behavior even harms the entire society.
This is an intellectual "charm book" from which modern people will learn - be careful of the words and deeds of intellectuals, their group, and also understand to question them, because they often forget the most important thing: "people" are far more important than their lofty ideas.

A Treasure of the People: Asian Champions Cup opening series wins Johor, Nagoya Whale has a "single" opening _ Apple Daily
|
The Group G of the Asian Champions Cup begins on Tuesday in Bangkok, Thailand, with Thailand ’ s Ratchaburi against South Korea ’ s Pohang Iron and ends with Malaysia ’ s Johor DT versus Japan ’ s Nagoya Whale (pictured).
Although the Whale beat Johor, the team is not as good as the past, because Johor has all played against the Japanese team in the past. (now633 Today, 10: 00pm Live) Although the Whale won six consecutive games in Japan at the beginning of this season, and set a career record of nine consecutive games without conceding a goal. Losing to the top Kawasaki forward, the team was interrupted, nearly 6 fights only 2 wins and 2 losses, this game is the team in almost 10 years to enter the Asian Championship stage again, of course, hope to win.
In terms of people and feet, the main whales such as Nakagaki and forward Mathios Dusan can wait for orders, and it is not difficult to break the Johor gate.
In order to meet the four foreign aid quota limit of the Asian Champions Cup, Zuffo did not include the main midfielder Kabbalah in the list of the army this year, but joined the new Australian defender Shane Loni, obviously to strengthen the defense.
Due to the fact that Johor has played three full “singles ” against the Japanese team (see Table 1), it is believed that Johor will continue to play“ singles ” in this tournament.
In addition, since Johor has played three times with the Japanese team, there have been two total goals scored [3 goals], and the whales have also scored [3 goals] in the last 4 cup games, so you can take care of [3 goals] if you like.
As for the head-field Ratchaburi fighting pool iron making, although Ratchaburi's strength is below the iron making, but this game is staged in Thailand, Ratchaburi has a home field advantage, and half of the field is expected to survive.
There are 5 “Half-Harmony ” in the last 6 races (see Schedule 2). The first half is more conservative, and it is likely to be“ Half-Harmony ” again. (Today starts at 6: 00pm)

Illegal immigration crisis in Calais: British police refuse to send help
|
Image caption The number of illegal refugees in Calais has risen dramatically to 2,500 in recent months As part of a crackdown on stowaways, France's interior minister has called on the British government to send police officers to Calais to help France crack down on illegal refugees.
However, this proposal was rejected by the British government.
In an interview with BBC Radio 5 Live, France's interior minister said the British government should send police to Calais to help France crack down on illegal migrants.
However, this proposal was rejected by the British government.
In recent months, the number of illegal refugees in Calais has risen dramatically to 2,500, an increase of almost 50 per cent compared to previous years.
In response, French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said British police may be able to help persuade illegal refugees that it is impossible to smuggle into Britain through the Channel.
These illegal refugees, mostly from Syria, Eritrea, Sudan and Ethiopia, have camped or occupied homes near the port of Calais in the hope of crossing from Calais to the UK.
Kaznaff said: “Our governments have been through quite difficult communication and coordination, and my friend Theresa May and I have met many times to find a solution.
We are both caught up in this problem, so we must work together to find an effective solution. ”
Kaznaff and British Home Secretary Theresa May agreed that the two sides should increase cooperation projects such as police forces, including new border security equipment at ports, and jointly inject more funds into homeland security and humanitarian assistance.
In response, James Brokenshire, the UK ’ s Minister for Immigration and Border Protection, said the UK had no plans to send police to Calais.
Security issues on French soil should be French affairs.
Cazeneuve ’ s comments seem to have poured cold water on Bruckeneuve, but Bruckeneuve acknowledged that illegal immigration is a Europe-wide problem and that Britain has previously pledged £12 million to boost border security in Calais.
In addition, the UK has said it will contribute £4 million (€5 million) a year to the Joint Border Intervention Fund over three years.
The additional security measures include stronger fences and updated technology to detect people hiding in lorries in anticipation of smuggling.
Philippe Mignole, deputy mayor of Calais, told BBC Radio 5 Live that the presence of the British police was a good idea.
“In the past, we have been blamed for not doing a good job on the border, but this is not a problem that Calais can solve on its own.
It ’ s 2014, and we ’ re smarter than ever, making better decisions and working together.
I think having a British police presence in Calais is a good idea.
It was too late for the refugees to arrive in Calais.
We can't let them die at sea.
I think it is our shared responsibility. "
The plight of the stowaways is dire: "We do not distinguish between religion and race.
We live like brothers, because here we have only one identity, and that is refugees. ”
This is Adnan from Pakistan speaking to BBC presenter Rachel.
As Rachel Burden said in an interview.
In the Calais region, illegal immigration camps are known as the “Jungle. ”
There are about 2,500 refugees living in the Jungle.
Those with a better environment can sleep in tents, and those with a worse one can sleep on canvas surrounded by garbage.
Their lives are the opposite of those of ordinary people.
These refugees usually make tea, cook porridge or sleep in front of the camp fire during the day.
When the night falls, they try to squeeze on ferries or jump on lorries, hoping to cross the Channel and smuggle into Britain.
A local charity in Calais told BBC presenters that the "jungle" living environment was completely out of line with humanitarian needs.
Medecins du Monde, which provides food and health care in Calais, says it is as bad as Darfur.
Last month, the mayor of Calais, Natasha Bouchart, revealed that the migrants had chosen the UK as their destination country because of the country ’ s looser border defence and its good social welfare system, which is a magnet for migrants.
At present, both Britain and France are strengthening their border security systems, hoping to stop illegal refugees from crossing the UK.
These include: a 5-meter high fence surrounding the port; coast guards and dogs patrolling at night; the Calais Chamber of Commerce, which is responsible for shore security; and British customs officers who must be present in the port and check each passenger ’ s passport.

UN Climate Report: Warming Causes Drought, Hunger Threatens Human Health - Technology
|
A warming planet has a major impact on human health, with hunger, drought and disease afflicting tens of millions of people over decades, according to a draft report released by the United Nations today.
After more than a year of pandemics that have completely turned the world upside down, the forthcoming report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) offers even more dire predictions of malnutrition, water scarcity and plague in the coming decades.
Policy choices such as the promotion of plant-based diets can limit these health consequences, but many will remain unavoidable in the short term, the report said.
Babies born today may face a variety of climate-related health threats before they reach the age of 30, depending on how well humans handle carbon emissions and rising temperatures, according to the report.
The 4,000-page draft report, expected to be released next year, is the most complete report yet on the impact of climate change on the planet and species.
The report estimates that 80 million more people are at risk of hunger by 2050 than today.
The report estimates that disruptions to the water cycle will reduce harvests of rain-fed staple crops in sub-Saharan Africa.
As many as 40% of India ’ s rice-producing areas are unsuitable for farming.
Rising temperatures not only affect crop yields, but also reduce nutritional values, such as rice, wheat, barley and potatoes, by 6% to 14%, the report said, adding that the number of people at risk of protein deficiency is nearly 150 million more than today.
Food prices are expected to rise by as much as a third in 2050 as climate change reduces crop yields and increases demand for biofuel crops and carbon dioxide-absorbing forests, increasing the number of low-income households facing chronic hunger by 183 million.
Across Asia and Africa, the number of undernourished and stunted children by the middle of the century will increase by 10 million, creating a new generation of better socioeconomic development, but lifelong health problems.
As with most climate change impacts, the impact on human health varies from place to place, with 80% of the population at risk of hunger living in Africa and Southeast Asia, according to the report.
According to the report, studies on freshwater supply, agriculture and sea level rise show that between 30 million and 140 million people will be displaced in Africa, Southeast Asia and Latin America by 2050.

On the Rise of the Land Value Economy, South Koreans Go to the Land for Plastic Surgery - Cross-Strait
|
In the past, many people chose to go to Korea to do medical and aesthetic surgery, but with the rise of the mainland's "face value economy", more capital is invested in the medical and aesthetic industry, and technology is constantly upgrading, people in the mainland industry said that in the past two years, it has attracted a lot of Korean and Japanese people to the mainland for plastic surgery.
The search for the keyword "medical beauty" in the "small red book" of the mainland beauty consumption app, the related information is more than 950,000 articles, and the product is more than 200 items.
A large number of handsome men and women carefully share the beauty process in the Little Red Book, and with the rise of the face value economy, plastic surgery seems to no longer be a thing to hide.
Park Yongbaht is a Korean who works in the mainland. As a translator, Park Yongbaht has worked and lived in the mainland for five years, not only proficient in Chinese, but also social software such as WeChat, TikTok and Little Red Book.
He said that the first two years of coming to the mainland, will regularly fly back to Korea to do medical beauty, but the time cost and transportation costs are very high, some medical beauty projects need to be done regularly, if time is not allowed, it will be missed, which has a great impact on the effect.
However, Park Yongbah said, now without this worry, after learning about the mainland plastic surgery institutions through social platforms, he ended the troubled experience of land and Korea.
In his opinion, the instruments in the mainland hospitals are better than the general clinics in South Korea, he said: "The hot magi instruments in this plastic surgery hospital I chose are the latest generation, and some clinics in South Korea use the original instruments, and the prices are similar, so I do it in the mainland."
Another Korean girl, Hua Mei-yan, went to the mainland two years ago for a rhinoplasty surgery. She was attracted by a Korean doctor molding case of a Sino-Korean cooperative institution through the Internet, and came to the mainland specifically to find the Korean doctor, but was finally "ring powder" by the mainland doctor, she said: "After I came to the mainland, the surgery is the Korean doctor and a knife, the result is very nice."
In addition to Koreans, there are also Japanese people to do cosmetic surgery in the mainland, and Hezi is one of them. In 2019, Hezi learned that the liposuction technology of a plastic surgery hospital in Sichuan in mainland China is not worse than Japan through a branch established by a mainland cosmetic institution in Japan.
Once went to Korea to form a kind of craze, spawned a hundred billion scale plastic market for South Korea.
This frenzy has faded with the rise of China ’ s nominal economy and increasing reports of detention for trans-national rights violations under South Korean law.
At the same time, more and more Koreans, Japanese, and foreign students are going to the mainland for plastic surgery.
Du Xiaoyan, deputy secretary general of the China Plastic and Cosmetic Association, once said in a public forum that, unlike the annual increase of 10-15% in the plastic surgery failure rate from the mainland to Korea, the failure rate of foreign plastic surgery to the mainland is almost zero.
At the same time, it also reflects the progress of medical and aesthetic technology in the mainland, and the development of the medical and aesthetic industry in the mainland is gradually recognized by the industry.
Zhou Jie, market leader in the southwest region of China's New Oxygen Technology, said that although South Korea is a world-famous "cosmetic country", there have been many negative reports about Korean cosmetic surgery.
South Korean doctors are more bold, some doctors dare to do anything, so there are many disputes, compared to the next, mainland cosmetic doctors are more cautious.
More importantly, after the influx of capital into the medical and aesthetic industry in these two years, the once small medical and aesthetic clinics are gradually evolving, and medical conditions are gradually improving, and medical facilities and other conditions are much better than the small institutions on the street in Korea.
Gan Cheng, deputy director of plastic surgery at the Plastic Surgery Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, also said that the theory, technology and operation level of the top doctors in mainland China are not fundamentally different from that of the top doctors in South Korea, and they are basically on an equal footing in the international academic circle.
However, it is undeniable that there are still some drawbacks in mainland medical beauty, such as opaque fees, immature technology of small institutions, exaggerated propaganda, etc., but it is certain that the mainland medical beauty industry is in a period of rapid development, rapid development of technology, high transparency and standardization of the industry is attracting more and more consumers.

5 kinds of food are about to disappear? The global temperature rose by 2 degrees, and red wine has no effect. ｜ Hong Kong 01 ｜ Real-time International

By: Food Last updated: 2021-06-27 08: 08 In the face of the dramatic changes brought about by climate change, agriculture and food production are the first line of disaster. With the temperature rising year by year, ocean acidification and unusual extreme weather have had a great impact on the human diet structure.
Animal and plant ecology, which is closely related to human diet, is currently suffering from the effects of rising temperatures, which are far greater than expected.
The US Space Agency (NASA) released an analysis on January 14, 2021, saying that the surface temperature in 2020 was the highest in history at the same time as 2016, pointing to the past 10 years as the hottest period in history.
In 2020, the global average annual temperature rose by more than 1.02 ° C from the average temperature between 1951 and 1980, and the global temperature continues to rise, which has an absolute relationship with carbon dioxide emissions.
Even if there is a global consensus that we should try to control carbon dioxide emissions, according to NASA analysis, even if the COVID-19 epidemic swept the world in 2020, industrial, agricultural and other industries have been affected and reduced production, and the number of air and shipping flights has also been significantly reduced. It is bold to predict that the average temperature in 2021 will also continue to climb.

How did Klimt ’ s paintings influence the modern ideas that emerged in Vienna in 1900?
|
By Eric R. Kandel In 2006, Ronald Lauder, an Austrian expressionist art collector and co-founder of Neue Galerie, an expressionist art museum in New York City, bought a single painting for a staggering US $135 million. Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer (Figure 1-1), a Viennese socialite and well-known art patron.
Rhodes first saw this painting painted by Klimt in 1907, when he visited the Upper Belvedere Museum in Vienna at the age of 14.
This painting reflects to a considerable extent the characteristics of Vienna at the turn of the century: the richness of content, the sensuality of color, and the vast energy of innovation.
After many years, Rhode was convinced that Klimt ’ s Lady Adele was definitely one of the great works that would expose women ’ s secrets.
In terms of the dress elements of Lady Adèle presented in the painting, Klimt is a skilled painter in the tradition of the 19th century New Art (Jugendstil, or Art Nouveau), but this painting has a new historical significance: it is Klimt ’ s first painting to leave the traditional three-dimensional space and turn to the brightly decorated modern flat space.
This painting fully shows that Klimt was an innovator and important contributor to the birth of Austrian Modernist painting.
Two historians who studied Klimt, Sophie Lillie and Georg Gaugusch, described the painting “Lady Adele I ” (1907) as follows: Klimt ’ s painting not only expresses Lady Adele ’ s irresistible beauty and lust, its exquisite decoration and exotic theme, takes the lead in announcing the birth of modernity, but also reveals the desire to Radical approach, forging a new cultural identity.
Klimt used the painting to create a secular icon that would later represent the expectations of an entire generation in Vienna at the end of the 19th century.
In this painting, Klimt gave up on his attempts since the early Renaissance to bring the world of three-dimensional space to the canvas of two-dimensional space in a more realistic way.
Just as modern artists face the new invention of photography, Klimt pursues the real phenomenon hidden behind the camera that cannot be captured by the camera. He and several younger protégés, Koxica and Schiller, turn the artist ’ s point of view inward, away from the external world of three degrees, towards the multi-dimensional inner self and the unconscious mind.
In addition to breaking with the artistic traditions of the past, the painting also tells us how modern science, and especially modern biology, influenced Klimt ’ s artistic expression, just as they influenced much of the culture of Vienna in the 1900s, or Vienna from 1890 to 1918.
According to art historian Emily Braun, after reading Darwin ’ s work, Klimt became fascinated with cellular structures, the building blocks of all living things.
So the jigsaw puzzle of Lady Adele ’ s clothes is not just like Art Nouveau decorations, but rather, they are symbols of male and female cells: rectangular sperm and oval eggs.
These bio-inspired fertility symbols are designed to match the provocative face of the person in the painting with her blooming mature reproductive ability.
The sale of Lady Adèle ’ s portrait for $135 million, the highest price for a single painting to date, is unusual in itself — if you consider that when Klimt started his career, his paintings were masterful, but they didn ’ t make a name for themselves.
He was a fine but commonplace painter at the time, following the history and popular style of his master, Hans Makart, and did some decorative work for theatres, museums, and other public buildings.
Maca is a talented color expert, and some of his patrons in Vienna regard him as a member of the new Rubens school, and Klimt, like Maca, painted some paintings with large symbolic and mythological themes.
The Age of Revelation: Exploring the Secrets of the Subconscious in Art, the Mind, and the Brain – From Vienna 1900 to the Present by Eric R. Kandel Press: Joint Publishing: May 6, 2021 It wasn ’ t until 1886 that Klimt ’ s paintings took a bold and original turn.
That year, he and his colleague Franz von Matsch went to paint commemorative paintings for the old Castle Theatre, which was about to be demolished and built into a modern building.
Mr. Ma painted a scene from the entrance to the stage, and Mr. Klimt painted the last performance of the old theater.
But Klimt did not paint the stage or the performers on the stage, he painted specific audience members that could be identified from the direction of the stage.
These audience members do not look like they are watching the opera performance, but they are performing their own inner play.
From Klimt ’ s paintings, it is as if the actual Vienna script was not performed on stage, but on a private stage in the heart of the audience.
Just after Klimt did this work, the young neurologist Freud began using hypnosis and psychotherapy to treat patients suffering from hysteria II.
As the patient looks inside, freely associates, and speaks of his private life and thoughts, Freud begins to connect the patient ’ s hysterical symptoms with his past traumatic experiences.
This rather original treatment is a modification of the treatment of a young Viennese woman, Anna O., by Josef Breuer, a renowned psychiatrist.
Bloor is a senior colleague of Freud, who discovered that Anna O. "A monotonous family life and a lack of sufficient intellectual occupation led her to develop the habit of daydreaming, which she said was her private stage."
The characteristic intuition of this expression in Klimt ’ s later works developed in parallel with Freud ’ s psychological studies, and foretold this trend to the depths of the heart, which eventually swept through the various fields of Vienna in the 1900s.
This stage, which gave birth to Viennese modernism, was characterized by an attempt to break with the past and explore new ways of expression in art, architecture, psychology, literature, and music.

(Screenshot of the video) A major crash has been reported at the 2021 Tour de France in France. It happened that a fan with a refueling plate broke into the lane, causing the runners to crash into the refueling plate before they could avoid it.
Comprehensive media reported that at the end of the race 45 kilometers, a fan standing on the right side of the race, holding a banner fueling plate in his hand on the side of the track shouted excitedly, but he seemed to only look at the driver he was supporting, did not notice that he had gone forward into the track, let the German player Tony Martin hit the fueling plate in his hand, and immediately reversed. It affects most of the drivers who fall and get stuck on the track.
(Screenshot) Among them, Tony Martin's team, Team Jumbo-Visma of the Netherlands, was seriously affected. Martin himself was injured but finished the race; Jasha Sutterlin, the driver of the German DSM team, withdrew from the race due to injury.

Extreme weather makes coffee beans fail. Brazilian farmers hope for "superfood"? _ Hong Kong 01 _ World Report
|
Author: Paul Luo Last updated: 2021-06-27 11: 00 Series Readings: Climate change has gradually become more obvious to the ecological impact, and there are frequent warming, droughts, floods and other situations around the world, and the problem of human food shortage has sounded the alarm, and the impact on farmers' livelihood can be said to be more direct.
Brazil has faced severe dry weather in recent years, and the rainy season from the end of December to the end of March this year has received less rain than usual, which has dealt a lot of damage to local coffee cultivation.
Many farmers worry that they will not have enough water to survive the dry season.
Drought conditions in the country may also lead to a global coffee shortage crisis.
As the world ’ s largest exporter of coffee, sugar and orange juice, how does the region cope with the ongoing lack of rain?
Mauricio Pinheiro, 59, a São Paulo farmer, began irrigating his Arabica coffee crop in March, two months earlier than usual, as his 53-hectare farm received less than half of the required rainfall this year.
Because he had to use extra water to irrigate his farmland, his home did not have enough water.
For this, he had to find another well.
“I ’ m close to running out of irrigation water, which usually happens in August, and I ’ m really worried about water shortages in the coming months, ” he said.
The south-central region, including São Paulo, is a major agricultural area in the country. Today, there are dry soils and low water levels in rivers and lakes, and many farmers in the region are also worried about similar water reserves.
Brazilian farmers are facing a severe drought this year. (Getty) In addition, the problem of climate change has caused many orange and coffee trees in Brazil to wither this year.
Brazil ’ s orange production fell 31% this year from the previous quarter, the biggest decline in 33 years, while high-end Arabica coffee used by chains such as Starbucks also fell sharply.
As the event coincided with the return of local agricultural crops to multi-year highs, it has exacerbated concerns about food inflation.
High-cost food is also likely to exacerbate hunger in the country, creating an even greater crisis in the midst of the pandemic.
John Corbett, CEO of aWhere, an agricultural information technology company, said that from January to April, rainfall in many areas of Sao Paulo and Minas Gerais was very low, with the worst-hit areas receiving less than half of the normal rainfall.
Paul Markert, an American meteorologist, added that the current drought in Brazil follows a more normal drought last year in parts of the country, especially in Sao Paulo and Parana.
Brazil ’ s coffee beans may not be harvested, threatening to hit the world ’ s coffee supply. (Getty) Latin American farmers are worried about “water scarcity ” as Brazil ’ s farmers face climate change, but it is also common in Latin America.
At present, they mainly deal with it through micro-loans, because many farmers are also financially “short of water ” and cannot afford the technology that can help them cope with climate change.
Since last year, the United Nations Environment Programme has started a pilot programme to set up 11 pilot farms in Latin America and provide 17,000 loans to help small farmers, mainly by providing them with low-cost and environmentally friendly technologies such as seed banks and high-tech irrigation systems to adapt to the changing climate.
The project has also helped fund more than 30 climate-change adaptation strategies to date, ranging from beekeeping to agroforestry.
Sonia Gómez, a Costa Rican farmer who participated in the project, says she has introduced a number of innovative technologies to combat extreme weather, including greenhouses and rainwater harvesting systems, which deliver water directly to the roots of plants through drip irrigation to reduce water loss from evaporation.
In addition, she has built an organic fertilizer laboratory to improve soil productivity and a repository to preserve organic seeds.
She hopes that with the support of the project, the farm will be able to find solutions for water resource management in the future, such as ditching and drip irrigation systems, as well as switching to organic fertilizers and establishing forest-farm systems that use farm wood and fruit trees.
In Brazil, a similar Amazon 4.0 project was launched in 2018, led by a team of Amazon researchers and innovative technology experts.
The plan is to attract funds from banks and investors to develop small companies within the traditional Amazon community to boost local processing and export businesses this year.
Farmers have the money to introduce equipment to combat climate change, such as an effective water supply system.
(Getty) Brazilian farmers hope for ‘ superfood ’?
In addition to loans, Brazilian farmers have also recently seen another dawn, which is “superfood. ”
For example, jabuticaba, a fruit native to southeastern Brazil, is richer in vitamins C and E, calcium, iron, potassium and phosphorus than blueberries and grapes.
This purple berry has floral, fruity and grape-like flavor and is highly respected in its homeland.
In the past it was just a delicious country snack for the people, but it was almost unheard of outside South America.
Earlier, the Swiss beverage brand Suívie made it an important source of income for the country ’ s agriculture.
The brand uses this berry to make a pure natural beverage through fair and direct agricultural transactions.
The company is also working with an agricultural company in rural São Paulo to bring much-needed employment and fixed income to many families in the region.
Carlos Nobre, an Earth System Scientist at the University of Sao Paulo, also said that growing acai, a superfood that is increasingly popular internationally, is also a way out for local farmers, as the net income from growing Brazil berries is 10 times that of growing soybeans.
The Amazon expert and chair of Brazil ’ s climate change panel also said that the region may even develop a new type of chocolate made from the Amazon fruit Theobroma grandiflorum, which is also a possible way out for the industry in extreme weather.
He believes that such a shift could create millions of dollars in annual revenue for the region and help curb forest loss, which is one of the drivers of climate change.
“All of the resources that the Amazon forest currently provides are exported abroad as ordinary agricultural products, but they can actually be turned into value-added products, ” he said.
He hopes that through this change, local farmers can earn higher profits to help curb deforestation, protect indigenous communities, and improve the declining rainfall trend in south-central Brazil in the long run.

The Tour de France has a massive rollover! White spectators hit the competitors with a slogan and caused a disaster - Sports
|
Cyril Lemoine of France was forced to withdraw from the race due to injuries. (Reuters) - In a series of car accidents in the first stage of the Tour de France, a spectator approached the track with a sign, and one of the competitors, Tony Martin, crashed into the sign and overturned due to the very crowded track at the start.
After Martin fell to the ground, he stumbled over more competitors, and from the perspective of the sky, a large group of competitors in the second half of the track all fell!
GREAT TO SEE SPECTATORS BACK INVOLVED IN SPORTS EH pic.twitter.com / Kwxj8be2Qh — Timothy Burke (@ bubbaprog) June 26 2021 The worst Tour de France crash I've ever seen pic.twitter.com / 1jngQE1Yg — daniel (@ cyclingreporter) June 26 2021 The spectator quickly fled after the “hit-and-run ”, with a cardboard sign reading“ Allez Opi-Omi! ”, the first meaning “Go ” in French, and the second meaning“ Grandparents ” in German, presumably a greeting to Grandpa and Grandma.
From this, it seems that this person is not deliberately sabotaging, but is an eyewitness.
Germany ’ s Jasha Sütterlin and France ’ s Cyril Lemoine were injured and some were forced to withdraw.
The Tour de France official tweeted: “We are delighted that the spectators are back on the road, but we hope that everyone respects the safety of the athletes and does not pose a danger for taking photos or snatching TV footage! ”
The organiser, Christian Prudhomme, decided to sue the white spectator, speculating that he was German, but he was no longer seen.
With less than 10 kilometres left in the race, there was another accident, which forced Chris Froome and several drivers to retire.
In 1994, a similar accident occurred, a policeman was standing on the edge of the track while trying to take a photo, and was hit by a runner, causing many people to overturn and injure themselves. In 1999, Italian Giuseppe Guerini (Giuseppe Guerini) was ambushed, and a spectator stood in the center of the track with a camera. After that, he went on to win the game.
In comparison, this time in 2021 is quite serious, and the scope of the impact is also the most extensive.

The Tour de France is quietly on the road this year.
|
The Tour de France starts this weekend in Brest, France.
Because of the epidemic, Brest became the starting glory point.
This is not the first time the Tour has visited the area.
It was the fourth time that the race was held in Brest (after 1952, 1974 and 2008), and the three post-Tour de France winners, Jean Robic, Louison Bobet and Bernard Hinault, were from Brittany.
Yesterday ’ s race was from Brest to Rand; today ’ s race is from Perros ‐ Guirec to Mûr ‐ de ‐ Bretagne Guerlédan.
The 2021 Tour de France has been the 108th Tour de France and is considered the top of the world ’ s three major cycling events.
The tournament was originally scheduled to start in Copenhagen, Denmark, but due to the impact of the coronavirus epidemic, the starting point was chosen in Brest, France.
Moreover, this year ’ s Tour de France is scheduled to be held from July 2 to 25, 2021 at the earliest, but in order to avoid coinciding with the schedule of the 2020 Summer Olympics, which is still in doubt, the Tour de France will be rescheduled to June 26 to July 18, 2021.
The route of the 2021 Tour de France is currently known to have a total length of 3,383 km.
The seventh stage is 248 kilometers long, the longest since the 2000 Tour de France.
According to Agence France-Presse, there was a mass fall shortly after the start of the Tour de France, when a spectator carrying a placard collided with Germany's Martin, causing the team to fall.
The most seriously injured may be the unlucky Spaniard Movista team Marc Soler.
He suffered three fractures in his left arm and was forced to retire that night.
However, Soler managed to get up and finish the game with "severe pain in his left wrist".
The Spanish team announced that Soler had withdrawn from the tournament due to "two fractures of the radial head and left ulnar bone".
Marc Soler was the winner of the 2018 Paris-Nice race, and is also considered to be the player who has the strength to win a good title this year.
The group fall accident occurred about 50 kilometers from the end of the race.
The accident seriously hampered the race.
Frenchman Julien Arafip, winner of the race from Brest to Landno, crossed the finish line nearly half an hour later than expected.

Exclusive: Japan launches first coastal cetacean ecological survey in winter and spring
|
News from Japan (Kyodo News Agency, June 28) On the 26th, the Japan Cetacean Research Institute launched a "winter to spring" whale ecology visual survey on the coast of Japan for the first time this year.
The previous survey focused on the "spring to autumn" of the fishing season.
With the reactivation of commercial whaling, proper management of whale resources is the goal.
The survey also found that as a whaling object of the minke whale, some relevant people put forward "if the resources are confirmed to be sufficient, hope to expand the fishing limit".
The survey, using subsidies provided by the Department of Aquaculture, was carried out in the coastal waters of the Northeast region from March 15 to 29, and selected the most suitable weather to go to sea in winter and spring.
The four small whalers sailed about 50 kilometers from the fishing ports of Tabata and Hachinohe in Aomori Prefecture, Yamada fishing port in Iwate Prefecture, and Catagawa fishing port in Miyagi Prefecture. The crew conducted visual investigations through binoculars.
A total of 25 humpback whales, 11 minke whales, 6 sperm whales, and 2 fin whales were found, totaling 44.
The head of the institute said: "Because this is the first attempt, whether the number of heads is more or less needs to be discussed later than future surveys." Next year's plan will be decided later.
According to the Fisheries Agency, in addition to the coast of Japan, where the implementation period was expanded this year, the visual survey continues to be carried out in the Antarctic and offshore North Pacific.
In addition, a new research project on stranded whales has been launched since the current year.
Prior to Japan ’ s withdrawal from the International Whaling Commission (IWC) in 2019, it conducted scientific whaling in the Antarctic Sea and the Northwest Pacific Ocean. After resuming commercial whaling, it operated in the territorial sea and the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).
The 2021 catch limit decided by the Department of Aquaculture is 295 minke whales, Bryde whales and Sei whales.
Including the number of mixed fishing in fixed nets, the fishing limit is 383, which is only about 60% of the 2018 catch of scientific whaling. (Finish)

One String Clearing One Mind: Taking Hair as a Symbol - 20191126 - English
|
In fact, Mei Lanfang is busy and tired, and will spend a lot of energy painting.
Some people are not used to it, and say to him, how you practice painting can not practice the level of Zhang Daiqian, Qi Baishi, you still focus on singing it.
My main occupation is writing, but I like to master a skill from scratch every once in a while, because I find that under the impact of strange things, I am easy to maintain a sharp mind, the heart is practical, my inspiration for writing will continue to flow.
I spent this time indulging myself in making the popular fingerwaves of the Republic of China. The logo of this hairstyle is a neat line of "S" shaped waves, so the people call it "Aishiou" - Zhang Ailing was only 8 years old and shouted to comb her hair.
My Essentials are self-taught, starting with imitating the hairstyles in old photos, in order to make them feel as well.
After a lot of effort, I now make Aisetou, barely comparable to the cover girl of Linglong magazine (not many people have heard of Linglong now, but it was once popular in old Shanghai).
Fan Bingbing, Zhang Peizhi, Liu Jialing have all played the role of the Republic of China. I will comb the hair of Aisi and see their styling in the play, which is all kinds of disagreeable: Their bangs are made of wigs, because the wigs are thicker than their own hair, so their hair is not only the wrong proportion of the wave and the face. Yeah. Yeah.
Strangely, they are all first-line stars, and their hairstylists should be first-line, so why are these hairstylists not as skilled as I, who did not spend a day as an apprentice in a barber shop?
Painting brought Mei Lanfang's sense of improvement in his singing skills, and I, I feel that writing has made me more thoughtful, so that I can help in the difficult process of restoring Aisetou.
Writing is rewriting, and writing has given me the habit of doing the same thing over and over again.
I unconsciously bring this habit to the field of hair making, so I have the strength to work out the authentic espresso.
Style is organic to the person doing the writing, as much a part of him as his hair.
Trying to add style is like adding a toupee.
At first glance the formerly bald man looks young and even handsome.
But at second glance- and with a toupee there's always a second glance- he doesn't look quite right...
The point is that he doesn't look like himself.
This is the problem of the writer who sets out deliberately to garnish his problem.
And if my strivings to write well have taught me one thing, it is the paradox that in art, naturalness is a manufactured illusion, the product of an almost freakish amount of labor.

Tour de France _ Race 3 _ Hong Kong 01 _ Real Time Sports
|
Author: Zhao Zijin Last updated: 2021-06-29 07: 18 This year ’ s Tour de France seems to be “speculating on a road ”. After the first race was caused by a spectator, there was another accident in the third race, and Ewan and Sagan rushed to the front of the line, resulting in Belgian driver Melia winning the championship.
In the first leg of the Tour de France, there were frequent accidents, which resulted in a large accident involving a large number of drivers. Then there were accidents, and British star Chris Froome also withdrew from the race.
What happens to the driver who gets injured in the race?
The third stop of the Tour de France starts at Lorient and ends at Pontivy, nearly 183 km away. The current stop is on the Ping Road section.
In a race for the title of this race, Caleb Ewan and Peter Sagan of Australia accidentally scrambled to the ground, and the two skidded for a distance. Fortunately, the driver behind them evaded the scene at high speed and did not cause a more serious accident.
Sagan and Irwin scrambled in front of the line, but fortunately the rear driver evaded it in time. (AP) Two good line drivers scrambled each other, posing less threat to Belgian driver Tim Merlier, and finally easily crossed the finish line for the first time to win the Tour de France championship.
(Reuters) Geraint Thomas, who won the championship in yellow in 2018, was still 145 kilometers away from the race, when the main car group was unfortunately in an accident, the Welsh driver has been holding his right hand since he fell to the ground, in pain, sitting on the ground for 3 minutes. In order to support his shoulders so that he can continue to race, he successfully chased the main car group to the line, and finished more than 1 minute behind the first leader, MATHIEU VAN DER POEL.

Bradley Wiggins, a British cycling legend and former teammate of Thomas, bluntly said that he should not underestimate the ability of the 35-year-old driver, "I hope that Sherian's injury is not serious, even then, his will is very strong, so I think as early as 2013, even if he broke his first leg, can still continue to fight, so I never underestimate his ability to resist pressure."

Dr. Chen Mei-ling “Promoting the Right Concept of Aesthetic Medicine to Improve Professional Quality ”
|
(By Evelyn) Dr. Chen Mei-ling, President of the Taiwan Society of Microplastic Aesthetic Surgery, has always hoped to realize people ’ s beautiful wishes in medical professional treatment, and hopes to ensure the quality of cosmetic medicine and ensure the safety of the patients. The professional quality of medicine has great ambitions and ideas. Therefore, he served as the chairman of the board of directors, and is committed to improving the consistent level of aesthetic medicine in Taiwan.
Q. What are the reasons for joining the medical school?
In order to promote the promotion, research and development of medical aesthetics in Taiwan, to help formulate relevant medical policies, improve the quality of aesthetic medicine, promote the professionalism of the aesthetic medical industry, enhance the contact and cooperation between relevant medical personnel, academic organizations, and the industry, and cultivate talents. Tireless dedication to the activities of the Medical Association and see its growth, to create an excellent, high-quality aesthetic medical service environment, to ensure the safety of every beauty seekers is not difficult, but also enjoy it.
Q. What are the expectations of the Taiwan Society of Microplastic Aesthetic Surgery?
With the advancement of the medical aesthetics industry, from the original surgical plastic surgery in the past, it has evolved to the microplastic surgery that can now be easily changed, benefiting many people who want to change their appearance or have a defect in their body.
Although the risk, price, and recovery time of the new medical aesthetic surgery are lower than the traditional surgical cosmetic surgery, some people still regret it because the body is allergic to drugs, the application technology, and the improper use of raw materials.
In the late 1980s, many dermatologists and surgeons combined medical consultation and aesthetics to provide aesthetic and cosmetic needs, but at that time there were insufficient medical aesthetics regulations and even more estheticians performing unsafe medical practices across the world. At the beginning, we hope to set a benchmark for medical aesthetics, and at the later stage, we will conduct physician education and physician training with the aim of improving the overall quality of medical aesthetics in Taiwan, and hold academic lectures, medical seminars, and seminars on the operation and management of medical institutions to benefit the public, so that we can become more beautiful and confident.
Q. In recent years, many medical cosmetic disorders have occurred, how should the public choose?
First of all, it is necessary to confirm whether the doctor and the medical institution are qualified. You can check the medical institution inquiry system of the Ministry of Health and Welfare, and check the doctor's evaluation, academic background or professional experience on the Internet in advance.
Clinic accreditation can also be used as a selection reference (such as: JCI International Medical Certification, Clinic Aesthetic Medicine Quality Certification, or SNQ National Quality Mark Certification, etc.). For example, “Clinic Aesthetic Medicine Quality Certification ” is a certification system promoted by the Ministry of Health and Welfare in order to promote the overall quality and safety of aesthetic medicine. This certification can be provided to the public for reference, as a priority choice, in order to protect the quality of medical care and the rights and interests of medical treatment.
Q. What are the plans of the Taiwan Society of Microplastic Surgery and Cosmetic Surgery this year?
President Chen Mei-ling said that currently plans to hold two large-scale seminars a year, in the spring and autumn, respectively, to gather the medical and aesthetic field of micro-plastic surgery chief doctors to share the experience, injection, wire carving, phototherapy and other technologies.
At the same time, small injection, injection and wire carving training courses will be held from time to time, providing opportunities for doctors from different disciplines who are interested in entering the medical aesthetics market to re-educate and improve their technical quality.
The purpose of the Taiwan Society of Microplastic and Cosmetic Surgeons is to promote and promote the development of the examination system for microplastic and cosmetic specialists.
(2) To promote and promote the theoretical, teaching, clinical, technical and application capabilities of aesthetic medicine, and to cultivate the correct concept of beauty for the purpose of the Chinese people.
(3) Other medical promotion matters such as information sharing and experience exchange.
Mission: ▸ Engage in research and application of cosmetic medicine specialization.
▸ Participate in conferences and seminars on cosmetic medicine at home and abroad.
▸ We accept government and private commissions to provide consultation and services on the theory and technology of cosmetic medicine.
▸ Publish journals and related books.
▸ Organize academic lectures, medical seminars, hospital management seminars and seminars on microplastic cosmetic medicine, as well as seminars and further training for microplastic cosmetic specialists.

Picasso painting stolen for 9 years, a suspect arrested
|
A man has been arrested in connection with the theft of a Picasso painting for nine years. A man has been arrested in connection with the theft of a famous Picasso painting, Female head, which was created in 1939 by the famous artist.
Athens police said on Monday that a Picasso painting, Woman ’ s Head, stolen nine years ago, was recovered along with a 1905 painting by Dutch painter Piet Mondrian.
Two paintings were stolen from the National Gallery of Greece in 2012, along with a painting by the 16th-century Italian painter Guglielmo Caccia.
Experts believe that the film has never appeared on the black market, so it has never left Greece, and police resumed tracking it in February last year.
A Greek man has been arrested after two paintings were recovered in a valley on the outskirts of Athens, Reuters news agency said.
The Woman ’ s Head has Picasso ’ s iconic Cubist style, which Picasso gave to the National Museum of Greece in 1949, in recognition of Greece ’ s fight against Nazi Germany during World War II, hoping to “pay tribute to the Greek people. ”
The painting is estimated to be worth €16.5 million.
Three paintings were stolen in seven minutes nine years ago In January 2012, the thieves, in order to mislead the guards, turned off the alarm system of the gallery several times before breaking into the building in the early morning, and later discovered one of the thieves through a motion detector, when the thieves stole four paintings, but abandoned another of the Mondrian paintings when they fled.
Police later said that the entire theft process was only 7 minutes.

North American farmers lament surging market demand, but apologize for bad weather
|
(AP) — The world is hoping North American farmers, from corn to rapeseed, will have a bumper harvest, but bizarre weather patterns threaten to lead to poor harvests.
The United States and Canada are experiencing unusual climate changes, with some crops withered by heat and drought and others facing flooding.
But at this point, as the economy recovers from the pandemic and demand surges, every grain counts.
The culprit is an unusually high pressure system that is likely to remain in place during critical periods of crop flowering.
It caused the highest temperature ever recorded in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, while creating a trough of low pressure across the central United States, bringing strong showers.
Hot and dry weather has moved eastward, affecting the Great Plains of the United States and the Canadian prairies, from spring wheat for pizza to rapeseed for cooking oil.
Crude weather in the United States and Canada increased volatility in the agricultural market, with oilseed prices hitting record highs and spring wheat reaching a multi-year high, due to a decline in production in Brazil ’ s major crop exporters.
“Rain, hail, drought, we all hit, ” said April Hemmes, an Iowa farmer.
In the past, droughts and rainfall were milder and more widespread, but now the climate has become more extreme, resulting in a small area of lush and severe drought at the same time.
Iowa, the nation ’ s largest corn producer and second-largest soybean planter, is in trouble. Dan Hicks, a Freese-Notis Weather meteorologist, says the current line separating drought-risk zones from more “normal ” climates runs right through the state.
While millions of acres of farmland in western Iowa were hit by drought, farmers elsewhere feared torrential rains would affect harvests.
Crop prices are at their highest in nearly a decade.
Pat Swanson, who has 2,500 acres to grow soybeans and corn in southeastern Iowa near Ottumwa, said it was a good thing to start raining last week, but a hail storm followed by 6.5 inches of rain washed away the gravel road leading to her farm, leaving parts of the farm unharvested.
Southern farming towns in Minnesota, USA, mainly wheat, corn and soybeans, are currently experiencing the lowest rainfall since 2012 and the highest temperatures in more than a decade.
In neighboring North Dakota, official data shows that the spring wheat crop is the worst since 1988.
Northern state farmer Paul Anderson gave up spring wheat to grow corn, and planted the seeds especially deep, hoping that the roots would absorb water from the soil.
Farmers on both sides of the U.S.-Canada border are growing acreage, spurred by high prices and reduced inventory, but yields are not ideal.
The Canadian government said Tuesday that farmers have grown the most rapeseed in three years.
The U.S. government will release its annual planting area report on Wednesday.
Environment Canada has issued heat warnings for much of the western half of the country, even as far as the Arctic Circle.
Alberta and Saskatchewan, the country ’ s main agricultural provinces, are bracing for a week of heatwaves, with temperatures expected to reach 40 degrees Celsius.
Chuck Penner, an analyst at LeftField Commodity Research who studies commodities, said 33 degrees Celsius is bad enough and the harvest is “almost a foregone conclusion. ”

Stolen and hidden in a dry river bed in Greece. Picasso's painting stolen nine years ago.
|
It was stolen nine years ago and recovered from the famous painter Pablo Picasso ’ s painting Woman ’ s Head, which he gave to Greece after World War II, along with Dutch abstract painter Piet Mondrian ’ s painting Mill, which was sold to the National Gallery of Athens nine years ago. A few days ago, a dry riverbed was found on the outskirts of Athens, wrapped in plastic film.
Two recovered paintings were shown yesterday in perfect condition.
A 49-year-old construction worker was arrested in connection with the case and police believe he acted alone.
The incident occurred in January 2012, before the thieves entered the museum at 4: 30 a.m., they repeatedly touched the alarm system inside the museum, and misled the guards to leave their posts and close the alarm. The guards then saw a thief escape from the dynamic detector. It took about 7 minutes to steal four paintings, in addition to the two above, the robbers also stole the 16th-century Italian painter Guglielmo. Caccia), and another painting by Mondrian, Landscape.
Scenery was hurriedly abandoned by the culprits when they fled. As for the painting of Kacha, the suspect claimed that it had been damaged and abandoned by him shortly after the incident. The authorities are investigating whether what he said is true.
Police did not say how to locate the suspects and the stolen paintings, but revealed that they had only recently been moved to a dry riverbed, seemingly because local media reported that the authorities were close to solving the case and prompting the suspects to act.
After World War II, Greece paid tribute to the resistance of the German people "Woman's Head" completed in 1939, with Picasso's unique Cubist style, valued at 16.5 million euros (about 152 million Hong Kong dollars).
He gave it to Greece in 1949 to pay tribute to the people of Greece who resisted the occupation of fascism and Nazi Germany during World War II.
Greek Culture Minister Lina Mendoni said yesterday that Picasso engraved the words "salute to the Greek people" on the back of the painting, which is very unique, it is difficult for the bandits to get away with it, if the painting is shown to the outside world, it will be known as stolen goods.

Water shortage threatens 40% of irrigated crops after 20 years ｜ News ｜ Americas ｜ on.cc
|
The World Resources Institute (WRI), a think tank, said on Monday (25) that water shortages could endanger 40% of the world ’ s irrigated crops by 2040, threatening the global food crisis.
Climate change is causing erratic rainfall, threatening a third of crops that rely on water during the rainy season, according to the World Resources Institute.
According to the scientific team, water supply is affected by multiple factors, including climate change and poor management, but agriculture is one of the biggest factors, accounting for 70% of fresh water. WRI also found that nearly 67% of wheat, 64% of corn and 19% of rice in many irrigated crops could be under extreme water stress by 2040.
Rutger Hofste, a staff member at the Institute, said: “Humans don ’ t understand how to react before a crisis occurs. We understand crisis management, but we need to have a strong response. ”
He also reminded that this is a silent crisis, and that humanity must act with caution before it is too late.

Largest transport aircraft An-225 take-off airflow collapses airport fences - Military
|
On 24 June, an An-225 transport aircraft landed at RAF Brize Norton on a NATO mission to withdraw troops from Afghanistan.
However, after the huge transport plane took off again, the turbulence generated by the aircraft actually broke down the fence on the edge of the airport.
Antonov ’ s An-225 Mriya strategic transport aircraft is the heaviest aircraft in aviation history, with an empty weight of 285 metric tons and the largest carrying capacity in the world, with a maximum takeoff weight of 640 metric tons and an actual effective cargo capacity of 253 metric tons, according to Fighter Jets World.
It has the largest wingspan of any aircraft in service, reaching 88.4 m, and is powered by six D-18T turbofan engines with a total thrust of 140 t.
It was originally part of the Soviet aerospace department, and was mainly used for transporting the former Soviet Union's Blizzard-class space shuttles, so it had a reinforced back structure that was able to carry 105 metric tons of space shuttles from the assembly plant to the Baikonur base on a backload.
AN-225 breaks perimeter fence at Brize Norton However, there is only one such powerful transport aircraft in the world, and due to financial difficulties in the late Soviet era, the production plan of the An-225 was suspended, and the ownership of the aircraft was transferred to Ukraine after the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, but Ukraine was unable to resume production.
Later, Ukraine Antonov Airlines established a global transport company, specializing in the transport of special and large items, but because the number of An-225 is too small, the company's main fleet is the slightly smaller An-124.
The title of An-225 ’ s largest aircraft will meet a challenger. Stratolaunch LLC (Stratolaunch LLC), funded by Microsoft founder Paul Allen, has reached 117 meters in wingspan, surpassing the An-225 ’ s old record.

Asia Pacific security new situation Microsoft: Taiwan into a ransomware attack five hot areas
|
According to the latest Microsoft Defender Antivirus telemetry data released by Microsoft, the rate of ransomware attacks in the Asia-Pacific region is on average 2.4 times higher than before the outbreak of the epidemic. Among them, Taiwan ’ s attack rate is almost twice the average in the Asia-Pacific region.
Microsoft Defender Antivirus surveyed 15 markets in Asia Pacific, including Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Australia, Singapore, and mainland China, in the 18 months prior to the pandemic.
According to the data, the Asia-Pacific region experienced an average 19% increase in malware attacks and an average 240% increase in ransomware attacks compared to the pre-pandemic period.
During the pandemic, Taiwan experienced a 16% increase in malware attacks and a 407% increase in ransomware, ranking fifth in the Asia-Pacific region, behind New Zealand at 825%, Japan at 541%, China at 463% and Australia at 453%.
Zhu Yifang, deputy general manager of Microsoft 365 business department in Taiwan, said that the incidence of ransomware in Taiwan is nearly twice the average in the Asia-Pacific region, indicating that Taiwan enterprises need to be more vigilant in order to cope with the mixed office model after the epidemic, and attach importance to the training of information security personnel.
According to Microsoft, hackers launch an average of 50 million password attacks a day, and Microsoft intercepted 30 billion email threats last year.
Microsoft pointed out that the impact of cybercrime on the global economy will reach about NT $240 trillion in 2022, indicating that the prevention of hacking during the epidemic is even more important.
Microsoft has put forward four major security guidelines for enterprises, including "embrace zero trust", which clearly verifies, grants minimum permissions and always assumes that vulnerabilities exist; inventory the security of existing tools and implement multi-factor authentication (MFA); use the cloud to update the characteristics of security technology in real time, uphold the cloud-first attitude; invest in training security personnel, promote employees to participate in security certification and courses, and build future security teams.

French racer arrested for hurling a bid to block the track – Radio France Internationale
|
BRUSSELS, France (AFP) Five days ago, spectators at the Tour de France held up handwritten signs blocking the lane, causing a tragic crash.
A source familiar with the progress of the investigation said today that the fugitive perpetrator has now been arrested.
Footage captured by TV cameras shows that on the 26th, an unidentified woman wearing a yellow raincoat blocked the driveway with a thick cardboard sign in her hand, triggering a series of heavy falls, and dozens of drivers were injured and bruised.
"The woman has been officially identified and was detained minutes ago," the source told AFP.
The incident took place in the first leg of the Tour de France, between the cities of Britanny and Landerneau in the north-west, when the woman turned her back on the driver and raised a sign reading “Greet Grandpa and Grandma ” in front of the camera.
There were so many drivers at the time, and the German driver, Tony Martin, who was near the roadside, was nowhere to dodge the sign and then fell, causing a large group of drivers behind to stumble.
In the panic, the woman was seen to withdraw in horror, then disappeared into the crowd, and the slogan was folded under her armpit.

Sources familiar with the investigation said today that the fugitive perpetrator has now been arrested.
A woman wearing a yellow raincoat was killed on Sunday when a cardboard sign in her hand blocked the driveway, causing a series of crashes, injuring dozens of drivers and bruising, the station said.
"The woman has been formally identified and was taken into custody a few minutes ago," the source told AFP.
The incident occurred in the first stage of the Tour de France, between the northwestern cities of Britanny, Brest and Landerneau, when the woman turned her back to the driver and held up a sign that read “Greet grandma ” in front of the camera.
At that time, there were many drivers, and the German (Tony Martin) who was close to the side of the road had nowhere to dodge and hit the slogan, and then fell, causing a large group of drivers behind to fall on their backs.
In a panic, the woman was seen pulling back in horror and then disappearing into the crowd, with the slogan folded under her arm.

America ’ s Healthiest Community Losalamos Won Nearly 3,000 Counties
|
The U.S. News & World Report website ranked Los Alamos County, New Mexico, as the healthiest community in America.
(Getty Images) Los Alamos County, New Mexico, ranked # 1 in “America ’ s Healthiest Community ” during the pandemic, after the U.S. News & World Report evaluated nearly 3,000 counties nationwide. For the first time in four years, Los Alamos County, New Mexico, ranked # 1 in“ America ’ s Healthiest Community ” during the pandemic. The first joint place.
The measure measures 84 indicators, including economic conditions, community health, public safety, infrastructure and housing. Although some indicators are data before the outbreak of the epidemic, the “epidemic ” performance of Los Angeles County is also very good, out of a population of 19,000, only 532 cases and six people died at the beginning of this month, making it the 17th lowest epidemic rate in the country.
Many of the factors that make Los Alamos County excel are related to the location of the “Los Alamos National Laboratory ” (LANL), famous for the Manhattan Project, which is still an important laboratory in the country.
The highest score in Los Salamos County is housing and community health; the local obesity, diabetes and other rates are low, the median household income is more than 121,000 yuan, ranking among the highest in the country, more than three-quarters of residents have an associate degree or above, but also make the local health, medical and other insurance coverage rate is high.
Because lab work doesn ’ t stop during the pandemic, the county ’ s unemployment rate is low, peaking at 6.1 percent in June last year, and dropping to 3 percent in April, down from 3.2 percent last year, according to Patrick Sullivan, executive director of the local Business Development Association.
The people of Lowry County are working together and staying resilient. The coffee shop opened take-away boxes early to ensure employees weren ’ t fired, and the pet store prepared for online sales early, and the owner said she felt a responsibility to avoid a total lockdown in the community.
The county had the best mental health community in the country before the pandemic, and the project measured suicide, alcohol, drug use, mental illness incidence, and other indicators. Although mental illness and substance abuse problems increased during the epidemic, service centers also saw more donations.

China 's new generation of "artificial sun" construction is expected to go into operation in 2020 ｜ Hong Kong 01 ｜ Real-time China
|
The official Xinhua News Agency reported that China's new generation of controllable nuclear fusion research device "China Circulator No. 2 M" is currently under construction and is expected to be put into operation in 2020 to carry out related scientific experiments.
According to reports, the principle of nuclear fusion to produce energy is similar to that of the sun, so the controllable nuclear fusion research device on earth to explore clean energy is also known as the "artificial sun".
China Circulator No. 2 M is a new generation of controlled nuclear fusion research facility in China. It is located in Chengdu, Sichuan Province. It is built by the Southwest Institute of Physics of the Nuclear Industry of the China Nuclear Group.
The device uses hydrogen and deuterium gas as "fuel" to simulate nuclear fusion reactions by injecting them into the device and knocking through and "breaking" them to produce near-core level plasma. In June 2019, with the delivery of the mainframe coil system, its full engineering installation kicked off.
Duan Xuru, director of the Southwest Institute of Physics of the Nuclear Industry of China Nuclear Group, said that the current project installation is progressing smoothly, and it is expected that the "China Circulator No. 2 M" will be put into operation in 2020 to carry out relevant scientific experiments.
Compared with similar devices in China, the "China Circulator No. 2 M" device uses more advanced structure and control methods, and the plasma temperature will be expected to exceed 200 million degrees Celsius. The device will provide important technical support for China's participation in the International Thermonuclear Fusion Experimental Reactor (ITER) related experiments and operations, as well as the future independent design and construction of fusion reactors.

National Day holiday, family picnics... crowds in parks
|
In Huntington Park on National Day, residents can be seen resting and eating in the green. (Reporter Li Yi / Photographer) Community Park has always been a place for people to escape the anxiety and stress of daily life.
This role has become more prominent over the past year due to the COVID-19 lockdown.
Unable to go to the office or the gym, people living in the city began to use the community park as their backyard, where they ran, rode, walked their dogs, walked their babies, and met their friends.
In the past National Day holiday, several green community parks near Chinatown were bustling with residents.
In Huntington Park in Bunow Hill, you can see people sitting on grass or benches, not only in the sun and family picnics, but also on laptops and iPads, perhaps at a gathering of friends at a social distance.
There was Sam in the crowd that day.
The Skins and friends.
Sam said: “Because the epidemic has just opened, I don ’ t want to travel outside the city, so I invited my friends and family who live in Oakland to the park for sunbathing and small picnics on the National Day holiday. ”
Because we haven't seen each other for a long time, I want to have more time to chat and relax in a safe environment.
A community park is a great choice. "
For many people in Jinshan, the community park is much more than a “ventilation site ”, with urban green spaces in high-rise buildings providing value for the neighborhood and spirit of the community.
Lisa, a resident walking in the park, said that being in the park seems to be entering another world, although it is adjacent to the asphalt road and the steel glass skyscraper, but it feels separated from each other.
Lisa said, “I love walking around the park, even on this wonderful holiday.
Because it provides me with a good public environment, let me see what other people are doing, can feel other people's emotions, expressions, let me feel that we are together, which brings a lot of power to my life. 」
Whether you are alone or with family and friends, the warm sunshine after the epidemic, walking out of your apartment and stopping in the community park near your home may bring rare peace and spiritual rest.
