The choice of six gears-four models of six-speed manual transmission

  With the progress of science and technology, the transmission has entered a rapid development stage like other core technologies of automobiles, and the quietly rising gear number of manual transmission is one example. From the 4th gear initially adopted by Xiali, Jetta, Santana and other models to the most common 5th gear today, the performance of the car will be improved once the transmission is upgraded by one gear.


  Although the 5-speed manual transmission is still the mainstream in the market, more and more models have joined the 6-speed camp. Compared with the common 5-speed transmission, the 6-speed transmission sets a more ideal gear ratio, which increases the opportunity of high power output of the engine and improves the acceleration and climbing ability of the vehicle. At the same time, by adjusting the transmission gear ratio, the quality and effect of vehicle power output have been improved. At present, in addition to mazda 6, which has already been on sale, and Pentium, which has been tested in this issue, there are also models equipped with 6-speed manual transmissions.


  Junyi



  Although Dongfeng Nissan Junyi is not the first model equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission in China, it is the first MPV equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission.


  From the perspective of body size and wheelbase, Junyi is more like a hybrid car between compact travel car and MPV. Besides the headlights and air intake grille at the front of the car, you can find the design ideas of Tiida and Sylphy. Besides, the layout and working materials in the car are also very close to Tiida.


  Although the wheelbase of 2 600 mm is the same as that of Tiida and Sylphy, as an MPV, Junyi still faithfully adopts the 7-seat design. In most cases, the car in Junyi will not be crowded as expected, and the position of the second row of seats can be adjusted back and forth like that of the Tiida high-profile car, so that the passengers in the last two rows can adjust their leg space in time, which is also the best scheme to excavate the three rows of seats with a wheelbase of 2 600 mm The third row of seats can be hidden under the floor when not in use, and this position is not obtained by streamlining the spare tire. It’s just that the driver’s seat that can’t be adjusted in height is somewhat regrettable.


  Among all the products of Dongfeng Nissan, Junyi’s 1.8 L engine is "unique". This MR18D engine adopts C-VTC variable valve timing system, with a maximum power of 93 kW and a maximum torque of 174 N? M, the compression ratio is less than 10∶1, which favors the torque performance at low speed.


  Because the gear ratio of the 6-speed manual transmission is tight, the speed drop of each shift is smaller than that of the ordinary transmission, and the shift process is more stable. The speed of 6-speed manual transmission at 3 000 r/min is about 120 km/h, which is the same as that of 5-speed of many cars, so the effect of 6-speed manual transmission on fuel saving at high speed is not particularly prominent. The acceleration time from 0 to 100 km/h is 10.5 s, while Junyi equipped with a 4-speed automatic transmission is 12.2 s. Obviously, a 6-speed manual transmission is more suitable for squeezing out the power of the engine.


  Junyi’s driving style is obviously biased towards comfort, and the power-assisted steering is very light. Even women can operate it with ease, but at the same time, it inevitably sacrifices some steering accuracy. Junyi’s engine and tire noise on the expressway are satisfactory. Although the chassis suspension lacks the obvious toughness of European cars, the adjustment is relatively solid and the road feel is very clear.


  In terms of safety configuration, in addition to double airbags and ABS+EBD system, Junyi series is also equipped with BA braking auxiliary system. In case of emergency, BA system can actively help drivers apply greater braking force to obtain more ideal braking effect.


  Like Yida and Tiida, if you like manual models, you should be willing to give up some configurations. At present, there is only one hand-held Junyi, and only the most basic configuration can be obtained. Intelligent remote control keys, engine anti-theft locking system, seat heating, front fog lights, side airbags and other configurations will not be available. In addition, Junyi’s full range of models currently have no skylights.


  The manufacturer’s guide price is 138,800 yuan, and the warranty period is 2 years and 60,000 kilometers.


  In China, the compact MPV is not an active market segment. Junyi with Nissan’s new generation engine and 6-speed manual transmission originally had a chance to make people shine, but the configuration table was too clear and watery, which made it difficult for people to make up their minds.

  Mazda 5



  As a new generation model of Prima, the new mazda 5 did not choose to be made in China, but came to the China market by importing. However, with the minimum price of 159,800 yuan (169,800 yuan for models with OBD), mazda 5 still has a chance to share the market share of domestic rivals such as Touran and S-MAX.


  Compared with the previous generation, the new generation mazda 5 has not only increased in size, but also greatly changed in shape, making it more dynamic. Narrow and sharp headlights and trapezoidal bumper grille can also be seen in Ford’s models with "dynamic design" recently. Mazda 5’s tail shape is quite simple, and the white and red triangle taillights are very eye-catching and have a high placement position, which not only adds a lively effect, but also increases safety.


  As a compact MPV on the same platform as Mazda 3, mazda 5 can’t see the shadow of any car inside or outside the car. The center console and transmission panel are T-shaped, with tough lines, which are completely different from the styles of mazda 6 and Mazda 3 that we are familiar with.



  The wheelbase size of 2 750 mm enables mazda 5 to create rich spatial changes. Among the three rows of seats in the car, the first two rows are left and right independent single seats, and the third row is a bench for two people. The most ingenious seat design is the second row, with a multifunctional storage box and a small seventh-person seat hidden under the two seats. When the left seat cushion is opened, the hidden seventh-person seat can be opened, while the second row of central armrests will be changed into seat backs. Although the seat area is not large, the second row of seats will be enough for three people to ride. If there is a third row of passengers coming in and out, they can be put away to create an in-vehicle passage. Open the seat cushion on the right side, and the built-in storage box can hold small items that you carry with you, which is convenient and practical. In addition, the second and third rows of seats can be completely laid down, forming a super-large storage space flush with the trunk floor. Mazda 5’s car doors are also worth mentioning. Instead of using the traditional car door opening method, it uses sliding doors, which is convenient for the rear passengers to enter and exit. However, because it is not electromagnetic, it takes some effort to close the door.


  All three imported mazda 5 models are equipped with 2.0 L engines, which are basically equivalent to the 2.0 L engines used in domestic Mazda products, so it is not difficult to drive a 1.5 t body. With the cooperation of 6-speed manual transmission, the maximum speed of mazda 5 manual transmission can reach 188 km/h, and the acceleration time of 0~100 km/h is 11 s, so the power performance is enough for ordinary families.


  As an entry-level vehicle with emphasis on cost performance, the comfort equipment of manual comfort mazda 5 is reduced, but the safety equipment and humanized equipment are retained. Although it is imported, mazda 5’s sales are through FAW Mazda’s channels, and the maintenance and repair work is also completed through FAW Mazda’s after-sales system, and the prices of related accessories and working hours are basically the same as those of domestic mazda 6 standards. Since only 700 vehicles were introduced to the domestic market in mazda 5 in the first batch, there was no preferential price, and the manual transmission model sold for 159,800 yuan.


  The warranty period of mazda 5 is 3 years and 60,000 kilometers.


  With good handling and creative combination, mazda 5 is undoubtedly a pleasing MPV, but the price of vehicles with OBD in Beijing market is 10,000 yuan higher than that announced at Guangzhou Auto Show, which gives us a modest surprise and reduces our price competitiveness.

  Corolla



  Since its birth in 1966, Corolla has developed to the tenth generation, which also shows the success of this model from one side. Although in appearance, Corolla is quite different from the previous generation models, and she successfully took off the hat of moderation and became younger and more dynamic, which is exactly the superb place of the designer. Through the local changes of the front and rear light groups and bumpers, Corolla has been completely transformed, but if you look closely, you can still find traces of the previous generation from the A-pillar, C-pillar and the proportion of the car body. In this case, the size of the Corolla has not increased much, except the width has increased by 55 mm, and the length and height have basically not changed. The wheelbase size of 2 600 mm is also inherited from the previous generation. The obvious increase is the kerb quality. The kerb quality of the two 1.8-L handbrake models is 1 285 kg and 1 310 kg respectively, which is basically close to the European rivals, which also shows the change in the design concept of the Corolla body.


  Like the appearance, Corolla’s interior is not reinvented, and all the trends in the car are based on ingenious improvement. Compared with the 1.6 L model, the Corolla 1.8 L interior has changed a lot, and the center console is X-shaped, which is more scientific and technological. Japanese cars can be in a strong position in the market competition, which naturally has its advantages. In addition to the humanized design of double-layer glove box, cup holder and storage compartment, the designer has also made great efforts on the back floor of Corolla, which is completely unaffected by the layout of exhaust system. The nearly flat floor is not far-fetched when it is full of three people, and there are not many A-class cars that can compete with Corolla in this regard.


  Corolla’s 1.8 L engine adopts Toyota’s dual VVT-i technology, which can adjust the intake and exhaust timing respectively, with a maximum power of 100 kW and a maximum torque of 175 N? M, but because it is located at home, Corolla’s power is not obviously abundant at low speed, but when it is above 3 000 r/min, the power output is the smoothest, and the 6-speed manual transmission is also easier for the driver to control the speed. At low speed, Corolla’s sound insulation and noise suppression performance in the car is quite outstanding, which is also one aspect that Japanese cars are superior to European models.



  It should be noted that the Corolla manual model needs to step on the clutch to ignite. The 6th gear of the 6-gear transmission is suitable for high-speed cruising, and it is unlikely to be used in urban road conditions. On the highway, the speed of the engine reaches 120 km/h at 3 000 r/min, which is not much different from the other 5 gears. The shift is clear and smooth, but the stroke is not compact. In addition, the reverse gear adopts reverse ring design, which needs to be adapted in the early stage.


  Compared with the previous generation, Corolla’s suspension structure has not changed much, and it still adopts the structure combination of front McPherson and rear trailing arm. The only difference is that the rear suspension adopts the design of separating shock absorber and spring, but the chassis adjustment styles of the previous two generations are quite different. Corolla didn’t completely compromise on comfort, but was tougher, which obviously helped the handling.


  Although there are two 1.6 L models that hold the bottom end, 1.8 L is the main product of Corolla, and there are also two hand-held models. Although the quality of Toyota products is excellent, compared with some competitors, Corolla’s configuration performance is not outstanding. The GL-i with a price of 144,800 yuan has no electric sunroof, leather seats, seat electric adjustment function, self-luminous instrument panel, 6-disc CD stereo, side airbags and side air curtains. If you want to get these equipment, you can only turn your attention to the GLX-i model with a price of 156,800 yuan. Compared with other brands, Toyota controls the prices of its 4S stores more strictly, but there is still a discount of about 5,000 yuan in the Beijing market.


  The warranty period of Corolla is 2 years and 50,000 kilometers.


  Although the sales volume is far ahead of the competitors, the price/performance ratio of Corolla is not outstanding. As Toyota’s most successful A-class car, Corolla’s global best-selling reasons are not only stable quality and balanced performance, but also good quality and low price. However, in China, Corolla’s positioning of itself is obviously quietly on a higher level.

  BMW 3 Series


  In order to make the price of BMW 3 Series approachable, the 320i elegant model abandons a series of luxury configurations, but for drivers who emphasize the sense of control, those comfort configurations are far less attractive than BMW’s 6-speed manual transmission, and the manual gear makes the 3 Series, which is good at control, more pure.



  The elegant 320i is priced at 308,000 yuan, which can be said to be the cheapest BMW car, but its birthplace is not Shenyang, China, but BMW’s German regensburg factory. Compared with the 3-Series luxury models, the elegant 320i is simple in everything, with no angel xenon headlights in the front, and i-Drive operating system in the car. The seats are made of fabric, and even the CD player is single-disc. However, if you look closely at the configuration list, you will find that the bottom line of BMW’s configuration is not low, but many safety equipment are not revealed, such as dynamic stability control system (DSC) and cornering brake control system (CBC). In addition, the elegant 320i has as many airbags as the 330i worth 580,000 yuan.


  From the tone of the interior, you can see the ability of 320i to create an elegant sports style. Except for the titanium and silver plaques, the whole car is mainly black, and without luxury, you can only concentrate on driving. Like other BMW products, the 320i elegant model also uses the push-button ignition mode, but the driver also has to step on the clutch when igniting.



  Compared with competitors with the same displacement, whether it is the maximum power of 110 kW or 200 N? The maximum torque of m, BMW’s 2.0 L engine is not a dazzling star, but with the help of electronically controllable valves and dual camshaft variable valve timing system, the elegant power of 320i will definitely be convincing. Regardless of the speed, the 2.0 L engine can make people feel abundant power. The acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h provided by the manufacturer is 9.0 s, which is 0.8 s faster than the automatic transmission model of 320i.


  The 6-speed manual transmission is the core selling point of the elegant 320i. The gear ratios of the 2 nd and 3 rd gears are very suitable for speed increase, and the rotation speed will rise quickly. However, in cities, the utilization rate of the 6 th gear will not be too high, and drivers should pay special attention to the positions of the 1 ST gear and the reverse gear, because they are placed on the left side, and the reverse gear has no obvious protection mechanism, so they need to be careful, otherwise it is easy to make dangerous mistakes.


  In order to emphasize the maneuverability, many adjustment settings of BMW products are very individual, especially the elegant 320i model. Besides the heavy steering wheel, the clutch pedal at the foot is also full of strength. Therefore, for most lazy people, it is not really a happy thing to drive a BMW on a congested road.


  Recently, the 3-series manual transmission model has been further improved, and the 325i elegant model, which is also equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission, has also been sold as an imported car, with a price of 399,000 yuan. Although the inline 6-cylinder engine equipped with 325i is BMW’s technical signboard, in terms of configuration, this elegant 325i continues to play the old idea of "emphasizing safety and neglecting convenience", and even lacks automatic air conditioning and rear air conditioning outlets. Compared with the 325i fashion model produced by BMW Brilliance, the cost performance is not outstanding.


  BMW’s warranty period for these two manual transmission 3 series models is 2 years, unlimited kilometers.


  Whether for brand appeal or handling performance, the manual gear of BMW 3 Series is full of temptation, but before you start, you’d better consider clearly whether these pure sports styles of the manual gear 3 Series can be readily accepted.

Is the family education order enforceable? Will the court order parents to bring their babies according to law? Supreme law response

Opposing unfair competition, maintaining market fairness and promoting economic development need the escort of the court. Similarly, from today’s (March 8) work report of the Supreme Court, we can also see that protecting a home also requires the strong support of the judiciary.

Protect the harbor of family happiness and the healthy growth of minors.

Resolutely oppose domestic violence, severely punish perpetrators according to law, and work with the All-China Women’s Federation to promote the effectiveness of personal safety protection orders, and issue 3,356 personal safety protection orders. Strengthen the protection of the rights and interests of women and children. Strengthen the judicial protection of the elderly and implement the provisions of visiting the elderly in the judgment. Through family trials, we will maintain and carry forward the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation of attaching importance to the family, respecting the elderly and loving the young.

Protect the healthy growth of minors. Adhere to the principle of the best interests of minors, and ensure that minors receive special and priority protection according to law. Admonish some parents for improper family education and ordering "young marriage" for their children, and issue family education orders, so that "taking care of children according to law" becomes a compulsory course for parents.

The word "bringing a baby according to law" mentioned in the report became popular with the implementation of the Family Education Promotion Law.

On January 6, 2022, the Tianxin District People’s Court of Changsha tried a dispute over the change of custody, and issued a Family Education Order to the guardian in view of his dereliction of duty, ordering him to pay more attention to the living conditions of the ward. This is the first family education order in China after the entry into force of the Family Education Promotion Law.

Is the family education order mandatory? Under what circumstances, the court will explicitly order parents to "bring the baby according to law"?

Guo Jingkun, Director of the Supreme People’s Court Office:Family education orders are mandatory. After receiving the family education order, if you don’t follow the relevant regulations, you may be fined, detained or even investigated for criminal responsibility according to law.

Family education bears the heavy responsibility of educating people, which is related to the healthy growth of minors and the future of the country. However, we have encountered many such situations. Some parents can’t correctly carry out family education and are lazy in fulfilling their obligations of custody. For example, in this case tried by the Tianxin District Court in Changsha, both the original defendant and the defendant failed to fulfill their obligations of education and protection, and ignored their children’s school and psychological and emotional needs. The court issued a family education order.

Others think that "a dutiful son is born under the stick" and educate children by beating and cursing; Some people leave their children alone after divorce. In this case, the people’s court should play a functional role, stop and correct the illegal acts according to law, and at the same time strengthen the publicity of popularizing the law and tell parents by law how to be a qualified parent. At the same time, we are also exploring the establishment of relevant mechanisms, the formation of specialized teams, the strengthening of regular return visits, follow-up and assistance, and the provision of continuous family education guidance and assistance, and the use of judicial power to protect the healthy growth of minors.

There’s an old saying, "When you are old, you will grow old.". In addition to how to teach children, the work report of the Supreme Law also mentioned that "visiting the elderly in the judgment". In another case, the old lady was 90 years old and had four sons and three daughters. Her wife died and she had been supported by her four sons in turn. Since February 2021, the eldest son stopped supporting the elderly because he could not get the house property, and then the rotation support was interrupted. The old man lived in his daughter’s house and appealed to the court to order his four sons to perform their maintenance obligations. The court ordered the four sons of the old man to pay alimony and share the future medical expenses.

In this case, the rights and interests of women, children and the elderly in the family who need special protection are mentioned in the work report of the Supreme Law every year. What kind of concept does it advocate?

Guo Jingkun, Director of the Supreme People’s Court Office:Family trial has always been an important content in the work report of the Supreme Court. Paying attention to family, harmony between husband and wife, respecting the old and loving the young are traditional virtues of the Chinese nation, and they are also the important value pursuit of family trial.

It is a matter of course to support the elderly, but in recent years, due to various reasons, there have been some problems of not supporting the elderly and respecting the elderly. In some cases, the elderly don’t want money because they want their children to "visit home often". At present, when trying cases involving the elderly, the people’s courts have gradually expanded from focusing on the protection of property rights and interests to the comprehensive protection of the property, safety and emotional needs of the elderly, promoting the improvement of the quality of life of the elderly and ensuring a sense of security for the elderly.

In addition, on the basis of deepening the reform of family trial in previous years, courts at all levels have continuously increased the protection of the legitimate rights and interests of women, children and the elderly. For example, resolutely oppose domestic violence, work with relevant departments to improve the anti-domestic violence mechanism and build a "wall" for victims. And what we just said, strengthen the care for minors, enhance the awareness of self-protection and family protection of left-behind children, and so on. Through the rule of law thinking and the rule of law, we advocate the concept of "home and everything prospers", so that the Chinese nation can attach importance to the traditional virtues of family and pass them on from generation to generation.

Global News: Biden decides to run for re-election for Apple next year or will launch a variety of new products in June.

  On April 17th, last week, two important economic figures in the United States, CPI and PPI, showed that inflation was continuing to cool down, which boosted market sentiment, and US stocks recorded cumulative gains throughout the week. However, Friday’s retail sales data fell more than expected, indicating that the momentum of US economic growth has weakened, and the market is evaluating the risk of recession trading. And the next earnings season will also bring more tests to investors.

  Some analysts pointed out that the biggest factor affecting the US stock market in the coming week will be corporate earnings, which is particularly important considering the possibility of profit recession. However, judging from several banking stocks that took the lead last week, the performance has so far exceeded expectations.

  In addition, the market is still concerned about whether the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates in May. Judging from the current market pricing, the final increase is a foregone conclusion. According to CME’s "Fed Watch", the probability of the Fed keeping interest rates unchanged in May is 21.5%, and the probability of raising interest rates by 25 basis points is 78.5%. The probability of maintaining interest rates at the current level by June is 15.8%, the probability of raising interest rates by 25 basis points is 63.4%, the probability of raising interest rates by 50 basis points is 20.8%, and the probability of lowering interest rates by 25 basis points is 0%.

  However, it is worth noting that there are continuous differences within the Fed. The directors believe that the effect of controlling inflation is minimal and it is necessary to continue to raise interest rates, while the chairman of the Chicago Fed calls for not being too radical. This shows that after the aggressive interest rate hike, officials are also concerned about inflation and economic prospects in the United States.

  In terms of weekend news, US President Biden said on Friday that he has decided to run for re-election and will officially announce his campaign "soon". This means that it is possible that Biden will face Trump again next year.

  G7 emphasizes the commitment to accelerate the phase-out of unreduced fossil fuels, and to achieve net zero emissions in the energy system by 2050 at the latest. The seven countries agreed on a $4 billion action plan for key minerals (down from the planned $7.5 billion).

  On the enterprise side, Musk established an artificial intelligence (AI) company named X.AI in Nevada, USA, aiming to compete with Open AI, the development company of ChatGPT.

  OpenAI CEO: the scale of large language model is close to the limit, not the bigger the better.

  Sam Altman, co-founder and CEO of OpenAI, talked about the development trend and security issues of Large Language Model (LLM) at MIT’s "Imagination Action" activity.

  He believes that OpenAI is approaching the limit of LLM scale. The larger the scale, the better the model may be, but it may be just to pursue a number. The scale of LLM is no longer an important indicator to measure the quality of the model, and there will be more ways to improve the ability and utility of the model in the future.

  Retail sales in the United States slowed down more than expected in March, falling 1% from the previous month, and the year-on-year growth rate of retail sales hit a new low of nearly three years.

  In March, retail sales in the United States decreased by 1% month-on-month, much worse than the expected growth rate of -0.4%, and the growth rate in February was revised from -0.4% to -0.2%. Retail sales only increased by 2.9% year-on-year, which is the lowest annual growth rate of retail sales since June 2020. Of the 13 categories, only 5 have increased. The "lag" of the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy, coupled with the impact of the banking crisis on spending, is beginning to emerge.

  Differences within the Fed have intensified.

  Federal Reserve Governor Waller said that recent data show that the Fed has not made much progress in the inflation target, and interest rates need to rise further. Bostic, president of the Atlanta Federal Reserve, said that after raising interest rates again, the Fed can suspend interest rate hikes and evaluate them.

  US media: Apple will launch a number of new watchOS products in June or welcome major updates.

  According to Interface News, on April 17th, reporter Mark Gurman wrote in his column PowerOn that the global developer conference that Apple will hold in June will be one of the most critical events in the company’s history-it will be an opportunity to herald the post-iPhone era and make its existing devices more attractive. Apple’s MR (Mixed Reality) head show will be the highlight of this conference, but other products will also be exhibited. It is reported that this includes the new Mac laptop and the biggest update to Apple Watch software since the first version was launched in 2015. Generally speaking, the company is planning to launch: Reality Head Show, Apple’s first major new product category in the past decade; New xrOS operating system and software development kit; New MacBook device; iOS17; iPadOS17; macOS14; watchOS10。 Among them, the updated versions of iOS and iPadOS are unlikely to provide major new features; The new Apple Watch operating system will bring greater improvements, including a new interface.

  Musk: It is extremely difficult to achieve mass production and positive cash flow, and the car price is low enough to survive.

  Musk wrote on Twitter on Thursday: "It is extremely difficult to achieve mass production and positive cash flow." The billionaire’s comments are a response to an old video shared by Twitter users. In that video, Musk said that in order to survive, the new company should be able to solve the problems of autonomous driving and electrification, and at the same time make a very "eye-catching" car and realize mass production, so that the cost of the car is low enough and the price does not exceed people’s affordability.

  [financial calendar]

Beijing has drawn up that "medical beauty" should not be given to minors without the consent of guardians.

  Without the consent of the guardian, no "medical beauty" service shall be provided to minors; Network products and services should have "anti-addiction" function; Schools should prevent and control school bullying … … The 45th meeting of the Standing Committee of the 15th Municipal People’s Congress held this morning conducted the first trial of the Regulations of Beijing Municipality on the Protection of Minors (Revised Draft). The reporter noted that the relevant provisions of the revised draft responded to hot issues such as school bullying, Internet addiction and minors’ "medical beauty", which are highly concerned by the society.

  Encourage schools to open sports facilities to non-school minors free of charge or at preferential prices in winter and summer vacations.

  In order to make children develop in a balanced way, the revised draft proposes that schools should implement the national and municipal regulations on reducing the excessive study burden of underage students, cooperate with guardians of underage students, reasonably arrange students’ study time, and ensure their time for rest, entertainment, physical exercise and social practice. Moreover, schools should also carry out education and teaching activities according to the education and teaching content and curriculum set by the education department of the State Council, and should not increase the teaching content without authorization. If it is really necessary to incorporate all kinds of thematic education and publicity activities for underage students into the teaching content, they should comply with the provisions of relevant laws and regulations and adapt to the students’ age, physical and mental development stage and cognitive characteristics.

  In order to avoid or reduce the psychological problems of minors, the school will prescribe "psychological prescriptions" for students. The revised draft proposes that schools should be equipped with full-time or part-time mental health education teachers in accordance with regulations to carry out mental health education. Conditional schools can set up psychological counseling rooms to provide daily psychological counseling and consultation for underage students; We can also cooperate with professional mental health institutions and social work institutions to establish a screening and early intervention mechanism for students’ mental health problems to prevent and solve students’ psychological and behavioral abnormalities.

  The revised draft also proposes that schools should improve the management system to ensure that underage students use the school’s sports venues and facilities to carry out physical exercise during recess and after class; School sports facilities shall be open to students of our school free of charge or at preferential rates on national statutory holidays, rest days and cold and summer holidays. In addition, the District People’s Government should take measures to encourage and support qualified schools to open the school sports facilities to non-school minors free of charge or with preferential treatment on national statutory holidays, rest days and summer and winter holidays.

  Do not provide tattoo services to minors.

  "Without the consent of the guardian of the minor, medical beauty services shall not be provided to the minor." The revised draft puts forward new requirements for minors to "medical beauty". Offenders will be ordered to correct by the health department, given a warning, and fined between 10,000 yuan and 50,000 yuan; Refuses to correct or causes serious consequences, the directly responsible person in charge and other directly responsible personnel shall be given or ordered to be given the punishment of demotion or dismissal, and the relevant medical personnel may be ordered to suspend their practice activities for more than one month and less than six months.

  Tattoo service is not allowed for minors. The revised draft proposes that offenders will be ordered by the market supervision and management department to make corrections, given a warning, confiscated illegal income, and fined between 10,000 yuan and 50,000 yuan; Refuses to correct or cause serious consequences, shall be ordered to suspend business for rectification, and may be fined not less than 50,000 yuan but not more than 500,000 yuan.

  Script killing and escape from the secret room shall not be open to minors on "school day"

  In recent years, script killing and escape from the secret room, which are popular among young people, also put forward corresponding restrictions on minors. The revised draft proposes that the script used in the script entertainment business premises should be provided with age-appropriate tips, indicating the age-appropriate range; If the set scene is not suitable for minors, minors shall not be allowed to enter; Except for national statutory holidays, rest days and summer and winter holidays, no scripted entertainment activities may be provided to minors.

  In addition, except for national statutory holidays, entertainment venues are not allowed to provide electronic game equipment to minors. Selling electronic cigarettes, lottery tickets or paying lottery prizes to minors is also not allowed.

  Network products and services should have the function of "anti-addiction"

  In order to make minors’ safety and health "touch the net", the revised draft proposes that network products and service providers should establish a complaint and report system, disclose the ways of complaint and report to the public, and accept and handle complaints and reports involving minors in a timely manner. At the same time, we should also establish an audit system for the production and dissemination of network information, and take necessary measures if it is found that there are illegal and criminal acts against minors that may affect or endanger their physical and mental health or use the network.

  "Anti-addiction" has also been written into the provisions of the revised draft. Internet product and service providers shall establish an anti-addiction system, set up corresponding management functions for minors to use their products and services, and shall not provide minors with products and services that induce their addiction. In order to protect children’s privacy, we should also establish a personal information protection system for minors to protect personal information such as private information of minors according to law.

  "Prevention and Control of school bullying" was written into the revised draft

  In order to ensure campus safety to the greatest extent, the reporter noted that "prevention and control of school bullying" was written into the revised draft.

  The revised draft specifically proposes that schools and kindergartens should safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of underage students and children at school and in the park. For example, schools and kindergartens should prevent and control school bullying; Prevention, intervention and correction of bad behavior and serious bad behavior; Prevent and deal with sexual assault, sexual harassment and other acts that infringe on the physical and mental health of minors.

  In addition, the public security organs can guide and supervise schools and kindergartens to fulfill their safety management obligations by means of admission guidance and police patrols, and maintain the security order around schools and kindergartens according to law.

  Relying on 12345 to establish "minors protection hotline"

  There will be a hotline for the protection of minors in this city. According to the revised draft, the city relies on the 12345 citizen service hotline to establish a hotline for the protection of minors, and set up special staff to be responsible for accepting and referring reports, complaints and reports that infringe on the legitimate rights and interests of minors, collecting opinions and suggestions, and providing advice and help on the protection of minors; Special staff should be familiar with the physical and mental characteristics of minors and receive special training on a regular basis. In addition, the city will also rely on the 12355 youth psychological and legal service hotline to provide psychological health, legal rights protection and other consulting services for minors.

  Government departments will formulate "Guidelines on Family Guardianship" to provide educational guidance.

  The revised draft proposes that the municipal civil affairs department may, in conjunction with education, health, public security, online information and other departments and relevant group organizations, formulate family guardianship guidelines and announce them to the public in accordance with relevant regulations, so as to provide guidance for guardians of minors to perform their guardianship duties.

  In addition, the municipal and district people’s governments should also provide family education guidance services. For example, family education guidance books can be compiled or adopted in combination with the actual situation in the region; Or build a family education information sharing service platform, set up public welfare online parent schools and online courses, open a service hotline, and provide online family education guidance services; Or determine the family education guidance institution according to law, and provide services to families in need in time.

  Guardians of minors should accept family education guidance, actively participate in family education guidance activities carried out by family education guidance institutions, schools and communities, and improve their family education ability.

All in AI is Baidu’s pit, and content ecology is Baidu’s opportunity.

Let’s go back to the Baidu AI Developers Conference in 2017.

COO Lu Qi took the lead in making his debut. At 10 o’clock in the morning, he stepped onto the stage on time, occupying the field of vision of 5000 spectators, and blasting a value judgment into the minds of on-site and off-site users:AI will bring mankind into a new era just like the previous three industrial revolutions.

Lu Qi’s voice is firm, powerful and full of confidence, and there is no doubt: "We can definitely lead!"

"AI is an opportunity for Baidu, All In AI."With a wave of his right hand, Lu Qi put his index finger up, calmly "stud" and bet on the whole Baidu.

Luqi

At the end of the meeting, Liu Ji wanting more, announced on the spot:In 2020, Baidu can realize automatic driving of high-speed and urban roads.

Ok, now we can travel back to May 2020. At this time, Lu Qi has left Baidu for two years, and the situation of the artificial intelligence industry has changed greatly.Automatic driving on the high speed is far away.

Wave Computing, a foreign star AI company, laid off its employees and filed for bankruptcy protection. Horizon, a domestic AI head company, was laid off by 50%. At the beginning of this year, the report of Cheetah Global Think Tank showed that the financing amount of AI enterprises experienced a cliff-like decline after 18 years of continuous increase. Compared with 2018, the amount of financing in 2019 decreased from 148.45 billion to 96.727 billion, a decrease of 34.8%, and the amount of financing decreased from 737 to 431, a decrease of 40%.

Since the second half of 2019, IPO plans have been successively spread from Defiance Technology, Shangtang Technology, Yuncong Technology, Excellent Choice and Cambrian. Regrettably, after six months’ application for listing, the status of Defiance was still invalid. Shang Tang was delayed to go public and turned to private equity market for financing. According to the "investment circle" report, Defiance and Shang Tang were frustrated in listing one after another because the valuation was not recognized. CAMBRIAN was asked 20 questions by Shanghai Stock Exchange after applying for listing in science and technology innovation board.

The capital market, which was greeted with smiles before, was completely faceless. Gone are the days when artificial intelligence companies could get high valuations by putting AI tags on PPT two years ago.

At this time, Baidu was caught in a full-scale war with ByteDance. Li Yanhong should have discovered it long ago.All In AI is not an opportunity for Baidu, but a big pit for Baidu.

Today’s situation is particularly clear:The era has emerged, that is, the great migration of content competition from graphic to video. The new traffic generated by this great migration will profoundly affect the entire Internet industry in China. Which big company dominates this great migration will be able to hold the gate of traffic distribution in its own hands, just as Tencent has done in the past 10 years.

Baidu has fallen behind from BAT, which has long been a recognized fact. Today, the market value of Meituan exceeds 100 billion US dollars, and the most unpleasant thing may be Li Yanhong. Although the news of "Baidu delisting" was officially denied, it may not be without reason.

If you want to restore your former glory and re-tie with Erma,The ongoing content ecological war is just one of the few opportunities for Li Yanhong, if not the only one.

Li Yanhong has obviously realized this, so he will vigorously support the live broadcast platform. Baidu executives announced that they will give live broadcast of 10 billion traffic+500 million cash support. However, because it is too late to launch, live broadcast and even the whole short video field, it is already an almost impossible task for Baidu to make a preemptive strike.

If in 2017, before Aauto Quicker and Tik Tok were exposed, Baidu All in was not AI, but content ecology, would the result be different?

The slogan "All in AI" reveals the background color of Lu Qi’s character.

At the end of last year, Lu Qi accepted a late interview and made no secret that he was too confident and was considered "self-righteous" by his wife.

This is Lu Qi’s reflection after he returned to China for three years and suffered setbacks in his two career choices.

But in 2017, ALLINAI-this almost gambling action is undoubtedly a stimulant in front of the lively capital market.

Lu Qi, who put forward this slogan, has been well-known in the Chinese and American science and technology circles for many years, and his resume can’t be picked out-postdoctoral fellow at Carnegie Mellon University, executive vice president of Yahoo and global executive vice president of Microsoft, known as "the most powerful Chinese in Silicon Valley".

It seems that the time has indeed come: in 2016, the "man-machine war"-Alpha Dog defeated Li Shishi in the ninth stage of Go, turned AI, which was originally confined to the fields of science and science fiction, into a popular hot topic on everyone’s lips.

The geographical location has also been created: outside the Fifth Ring Road in Beijing, Lu Qi sat in the Baidu AI conference venue, and the real owner of Baidu, Li Yanhong, performed a stunning scene of unmanned driving outside the Fifth Ring Road. Despite being issued a ticket, compared with the seemingly upcoming driverless era, such a price is completely insignificant.

That night, Baidu’s market value rose by nearly $18 billion.

Half a month later, the State Council released the "New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Plan", which added another fire to the development of AI at the policy level, and the market quickly detonated. Ma Yun founded the Dharma Institute, Ma Huateng proposed AI in all, and Huawei released the full-stack full-scenario AI strategy. Investors throw money into the wind.

In July of the same year, Shangtang Technology raised $410 million, which was the highest financing record in the world at that time. Three months later, Defiance Technology completed $460 million in financing. At this point, AI Company entered the financing race mode and its records were constantly updated. In May 2018, Shangtang Technology raised $620 million, and Ubisoft completed $820 million. In June, Yunzi raised $1 billion from technology, in July, Shang Tang received $1 billion from Softbank, and in November, Horizon raised $1 billion …

Under the fierce fire, the market soon proved that everyone overestimated the commercial liquidity of AI. At the beginning of 2018, Kai-Fu Lee bluntly said in an interview with China International Television: The bubble of AI will burst. "Every entrepreneur wants to package his startup into an AI company, and every VC wants to flaunt himself as an AI investor. But AI investment is actually not suitable for novices to participate. If you don’t understand the AI ? ? technology itself, you are eager to participate in the early stage of AI, and such people will lose even their pants. "

Baidu’s complex organizational structure casts a shadow over the All in AI strategy.

Lin Ning, a former Baidu cloud worker, said frankly: "Baidu feed stream, driverless and cloud technology all belong to AI, but all departments are running in parallel and are not harmonious with each other."

On the one hand, Li Yanhong led a team to do the familiar and profitable search +feed streaming business, on the other hand, Lu Qi focused on betting on driverless driving.

Both of them are commercialized. Even by 2020, looking at the world, the goal of unmanned commercial mass production is still at the conceptual stage.

Taking Waymo, a driverless company owned by Google, as a reference, Waymo started research and development in 2009, and completed the first phase-10 billion mileage test in 10 years. The mass production stage of the second stage is still stuck.

According to Waymo’s good news at the beginning of this year, it raised 2.25 billion US dollars to produce 80,000 cars. However, according to a survey from the media "high-tech smart car", Waymo’s mass production is unrealistic. Waymo invested more than 5 billion US dollars in research and development in the first ten years. Considering the hardware and software costs of 80,000 vehicles, 2.25 billion US dollars can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket.

Back in the domestic market, the situation of driverless driving is even less optimistic. A Baidu employee told the alphabet list that at present, Baidu’s driverless driving is only used in a limited range. "The domestic landing conditions are immature and the social infrastructure development is not matched, so it is difficult to land on a large scale."

According to Li Deyi, an academician of China Academy of Engineering,Driverless driving will be in the product incubation period before 2025, and mass production is expected to be in 2060.

Driverless driving is difficult to realize, and the profit model of search +feed has already run through, and Li Yanhong’s choice does not need to be guessed at all.

Q1 financial report released in April 2018 shows that revenue increased by 31% year-on-year and net profit was RMB 6.7 billion, up by 277% year-on-year. The unmanned business has no revenue, and search and feed streams have become profit anchors. Asked about the commercialization of AI in the earnings conference call, Lu Qi’s response was vague, and he hoped for the future between the lines.

If you pull the camera back to April 2017 and Lu Qigang joined Baidu’s three-month earnings conference call, his response will be much simpler-face the commercialization of driverless technology raised by analysts and give a clear answer:Realize the commercialization of driverless cars in 2020.

When he joined Baidu in early 2017, Lu Qi shared an experience: jumping on the right boat at the right time. By the late interview at the end of 2019, his quotation added one more sentence: take a step back and broaden the horizon.

In Lin Ning’s view,It is inevitable for Lu Qi to leave Baidu. "Lu Qi chose a track that Baidu is not good at."

Lin Ning said frankly that driverless driving is a very good AI landing scene, and Baidu’s technology is also very good, but the Apollo program is just a famous sound, and the products can’t land at all. "BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Baidu and Apple are all driverless, and what do Internet companies take? Compared with car manufacturers?"

More importantly, this led Baidu to take a fork in the road in strategy and completely fall behind in content layout.

The core of Baidu is search, and the essence of search is content.Baidu tried to rely on AI to make a turnaround, so that it was underinvested and lacked foresight in the main channel of the times-content ecological competition.Throughout 2016, Ali announced the creation of "super consumer media". Tencent has Daily Express and Tencent News to seize the consulting market. The headline is 1 billion, and it is necessary to focus on supporting short videos …

Although Baidu has already made preparations. In 2016, he also laid out 1 billion layouts of 100 numbers. At the media meeting to welcome Lu Qi in January 2017, Li Yanhong emphasized the importance of information flow. "I am confident that users can rely on Baidu to obtain information." In the end, the center of gravity fell on AI. Li Yanhong received a ticket at the Fifth Ring Road, Lu Qi used the Apollo plan to ripen the AI bubble, and the All in AI strategy can be said to be of no help in revenue.

On the other hand, in 2017, advertising revenue reached 15 billion yuan, accumulating hundreds of millions of creators around the world, and hitting the target of 50 billion in 2018. At that time, there were 1 million creators in the same starting point, and the advertising revenue of information flow was less than 10 billion.

In January 2018, before Lu Qi left Baidu, Li Yanhong attended the geek conference, in addition to emphasizing himself.Never said "All in AI"In addition, information flow is specifically mentioned. "Information flow is the focus of Baidu. Most of Baidu’s resources are on Baidu search and Baidu feed stream."

Li yanhong

Looking back now, reassessing Lu Qi’s choice to leave Baidu can be said to be the best of both worlds.

Lu Qi became an investor and joined YC. Later, he founded Miracle, laid out AI consistently and did what he liked.

When Lu Qi left, public opinion fell to the ground and felt sorry for Lu Qi. With data, Baidu couldn’t keep people. In 10 years, he left at least 10 vice presidents and more than 20 executives. Rumors such as internal palace fights and couples seizing power are rampant. Coupled with the bad impression of hemophilia bar and Wei Zexi incident to the public, Baidu was simply sprayed into a sieve.

But I have to say,It is wise for Baidu to loosen the throttle and win Lu Qi in AI strategy, at least it is better late than never.

After Lu Qi left, the voice of Baidu All in AI disappeared. In the Q3 financial report of 2018, the revenue of search and feed stream business accounted for 80% of the total revenue. At the Baidu World Congress held in the same year, the whole package revolved around the content ecology, such as empowering creators, supporting short videos and landing applets, and upgrading Baidu APP into a "comprehensive content consumption and service platform". It also played a tit-for-tat with the headlines, and the frequency of infringement lawsuits by both sides was much higher.

A few days ago, Baidu launched the "Gathering Energy Plan" to supplement the live broadcast business, which can be said to be the foundation of a comprehensive return to the content ecology.

At the same time, the implementation of Baidu’s driverless strategy is obviously more rational. "Driverless gambling is the future, and the return is too far. At present, we can only reduce the research and development costs slowly." A former Baidu employee said.

At the Baidu AI Developers Conference in 2018, Baidu announced the official mass production of the Apollo 3.0 version "Apollon"-"the world’s first L4-class self-driving car". However, compared with Waymo’s mass production of 80,000 vehicles, Baidu’s mass production of "Apollon" is a little shy, with only 100 vehicles. The activity space can only be limited to relatively closed and fixed-line environments such as parks, airports, scenic spots and factories.

Social supervision also needs Baidu to take it slowly. In 2019, Baidu L4 driverless taxis were put into trial production in Changsha. According to national business daily, drivers are on standby at the driver’s position of driverless taxis. These drivers, also known as "security officers", are prepared in accordance with official requirements to ensure the safety of passengers.

According to the unmanned management measures introduced in Shanghai last September, such as vehicles must be equipped with drivers, enterprises must not charge passengers, and must not engage in transportation or business-related activities. This also means that it will take N years for the enterprise’s driverless products to be truly commercialized.

It is not difficult to understand that although Baidu will definitely mention AI in every financial report, people in the industry know that Baidu’s revenue can only rely on content business.

At the end of February this year, the annual financial report with a total revenue of 107.4 billion yuan in 2019 was released, and the search +feed stream sang the leading role. The unmanned appearance only emphasizes business progress, such as cooperating with 23 cities and getting 40 autonomous driving licenses in Beijing. Revenue data has not been disclosed so far.

By May 19th, the latest Q1 financial report with revenue of 22.5 billion yuan and net profit of 3.1 billion yuan, the main force of Baidu’s revenue has not changed, and the financial data of AI business is still missing. The driverless business is completely playing soy sauce in the financial report, and the cloud business has been taken over. The only AI product that is emphasized is only a small one, a smart speaker.

Baidu’s development path in AI strategy is almost the commonality of domestic AI companies.

"Technical improvement is difficult to completely solve the fundamental defects of current AI, which determine that its application space is limited to specific fields-most of them are concentrated in image recognition and speech recognition." This is the conclusion that Zhang Yue, president of Tsinghua University Institute of Artificial Intelligence, accepted in Economic Observer last May.

At the same time, another conclusion of Zhang Yue is that artificial intelligence based on deep learning has technically touched the ceiling.

This seems hard to understand. As far as we can see, AI products appearing on the market, except intelligent robots, face recognition, intelligent customer service and intelligent speakers, have hardly seen products with more advanced technology research and development. Why is the ceiling of AI so low?

However, the reality is in front of us. From the "man-machine war" in 2016, there has been a lot of talk about AI replacing labor. Kai-fu Lee once asserted that 50% of human work will be replaced by AI within 15 years, but four years later, the development process of domestic AI is not optimistic.

At the AI International Conference in June last year, Ma Ziya, Intel’s technical director, said frankly: Emerging technologies such as big data and AI are difficult to land. At present, only 2% of the data is really used to help human production and life.

Back to the AI commercial market. Even in Ali and JD.COM, which have scene advantages, only basic products such as robots and intelligent customer service have been widely used, and more intelligent technologies are still in the conceptual stage.

A typical example is Iflytek, the leading brother in the field of intelligent voice. In September, 2018, I was questioned about "AI simultaneous interpretation fraud". Finally, Liu Qingfeng, the chairman of the board, delivered the hammer himself, claiming that the intelligence level of the current machine could not replace simultaneous interpretation for the time being. By October, CCTV revealed that Iflytek had illegally occupied the Chinese alligator National Nature Reserve in Xuancheng City, Hui Province, and was suspected of using land to build villas under the guise of "AI".

The financing boom that was rolled up like a storm in the past is now flying everywhere.

AI Unicorn Shangtang Technology has raised nearly $3 billion in 9 rounds in 6 years, and its valuation once exceeded $7 billion. Its business covers smart cities, smart phones, pan-cultural entertainment, smart cars, smart health, smart business, education and advertising. Since 2018, it has frequently exposed packaged and sold assets, which has been questioned by observers and has not formed core technical barriers so far.

The company, which competed with Shang Tang for the dominant position in financing, set a new loss record year by year, from a loss of 343 million in 2016 to a direct loss of 5.2 billion in the first half of 2019, and was forced to fall on the road of IPO of Hong Kong stocks.

The Cambrian lost nearly 1.6 billion yuan in three years. In March this year, it submitted an application for IPO in science and technology innovation board, and planned to issue 40.1 million shares, raise at least 2.8 billion yuan, and value itself at 28 billion yuan. Even it was not afraid to show its cards in the prospectus: it could not guarantee profitability in the next few years, and it might face the risk of delisting after listing.

……

Looking back at AI now, the attitude of investors is the most intuitive. Wu Shu, the founder of Qushi Capital, has been paying attention to AI since 2011. He told the alphabet list (ID:wujicaijing): "Many AI directions are promising and valuable, and business models have gradually emerged, butPart of AI was speculated by a group of irrational investment institutions in the early stage, which led to the high valuation deviating from the value, and continued investment became a take-over man. In the end, no one could take it."

Lu Qi, who is also an investor, not only admitted that he was overconfident, but also listed the investment projects he participated in, such as robotics, biotechnology, telecommuting and cloud computing technology.Only there is no unmanned driving.

The last time I responded to the question about driverless driving was in a late interview at the end of last year. When I was asked about the three most optimistic AI landing scenarios, Lu Qi only gave two answers-smart place and new mobile (robot driving).

Facing the reporter’s innuendo on the issue of unmanned driving, Lu Qi said:It is a long process for unmanned driving to completely land in commercialization.

On New Year’s Day holiday, the national tourism market is stable and short-distance, and Zhou Bianyou drives consumption fever

CCTV News:According to the statistics of the data center of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, during the New Year’s Day holiday this year, the national tourism market took short trips and the city of Zhou Bianyou as the main travel directions. While doing a good job in epidemic prevention and control, scenic spots around the country have carried out a series of theme activities to let tourists welcome the New Year in a rich experience.

With the approach of the Beijing Winter Olympics, there has been an upsurge of national winter sports in various places. At the intangible cultural heritage market in Huaxi District, Guiyang City, 20 Miao Xiu inheritors of Huaxi and 30 teenagers from urban areas embroidered a 10-meter scroll with the theme of "Beautiful Huaxi welcomes the Winter Olympics, and Miao Xiu adds a chapter to it", which passed on the traditional skills from generation to generation.

Wang Qiping, national inheritor of Huaxi Miao Xiu, Guiyang City, Guizhou Province:From ancient times to the present, the colors used are red, white background, white line, red, yellow and green. This gray is from deep to light, which is particularly beautiful with this color.

Gu Weiwei, the municipal inheritor of Huaxi Miao Xiu, Guiyang City, Guizhou Province:We embroidered a 10-meter scroll with the intangible skill of Huaxi Miao Xiu to cheer for the coming Beijing Winter Olympics.

Under the strict implementation of epidemic prevention and control requirements, the snow sculpture Group with the theme of "Passion for Winter Olympics" created by 18 local forestry workers in Yichun Ice and Snow Wenchuang Garden, Heilongjiang Province, was magnificent. Tourists from inside and outside the province were attracted by the unique ice sculpture snow sculpture and took out their mobile phones to take photos as a souvenir.

Tourist Li Wei:I like this landscape very much and help our Winter Olympics.

The Ministry of Culture and Tourism reminds tourists to inquire about the opening of tourist attractions and ticket reservation measures in advance before departure, and plan the tourist routes and time reasonably. Try to avoid popular scenic spots and peak travel hours, and do not travel to the cities where medium and high-risk areas are located.

Australia’s "strawberry hidden needle" incident continues to ferment and other fruit metal detectors come on stage.

       CCTV News:Yesterday (20th), the Australian Parliament quickly passed a law in one day: extending the maximum sentence for the crime of polluting food from 10 years to 15 years. The reason for this is that there have been frequent incidents of hidden sewing needles in fruits such as strawberries in Australia recently.

       Last week, Queensland police received the first report of strawberry needle hiding. A 21-year-old man was sent to hospital after eating strawberries containing needles. Subsequently, in many states, such as New South Wales, Tasmania and South Australia, the strawberry pulp sold in supermarkets contained needles or other sharp metal objects. At present, Australia has received more than 100 reports of needles hidden in strawberries. Eating strawberries and eating sewing needles actually sounds a bit scary.

       Strawberry Tibetan needle witnesses tell horror experiences

       Jason, a 9-year-old boy, had this nightmare when he was eating strawberries not long ago. At that time, he almost ate a needle in his stomach. He opened his mouth and took out the needle. Jason’s experience really made his mother sweat. "This is hurting children. What these people have done is disgusting!" "

       A man swallowed the needle in strawberry pulp and finally had to be hospitalized. "It’s shocking. I ate a strawberry, but I didn’t expect to be hospitalized."

       Strawberries were hit hard by the off-shelf industry.

       The incident of hiding needles in strawberries has obviously aroused the anxiety and panic of the Australian people. According to Australian media reports, many supermarkets in Australia have taken strawberries off the shelves as a preventive measure, and some strawberry brands have been recalled nationwide. One of the two major food distributors in New Zealand has removed Australian strawberries from the shelves, and some importers in Britain, Russia and other countries have stopped importing Australian strawberries. An Australian supermarket chain even announced that sewing needles would be removed from the shelves for the sake of customers’ safety. Not only that, farmers had to dump or destroy thousands of tons of strawberries because the price of strawberries fell sharply or even fell below the cost price.

       Paulo silva, a member of the Strawberry Planting Association of Western Australia, said: "For us strawberry growers, it is a disaster for the whole industry. Because consumer confidence was frustrated, a large number of orders were cancelled. "

       Police: Or employees of fruit manufacturers.

       How can there be a sewing needle in the pulp of a good strawberry? According to the analysis of the Australian police after a preliminary investigation, the "strawberry hidden needle" may be the work of some disgruntled fruit factory employees, with the purpose of intentionally hurting people. As the incident continued, the police also suspected that someone might be deliberately imitating it, which made the incident wave after wave.

       The Australian newspaper recently reported that the police in New South Wales arrested a teenager after a large number of investigations. The boy will be reprimanded and punished for the "mischief" of hiding needles in strawberries. The police said that the boy’s behavior should be an imitation of a prank.

       What’s even more worrying is that this incident is still spreading. The fruits found with needles are not only strawberries, but also apples, bananas and mangoes. A girl in New South Wales, Australia, ate a needle while eating an apple, according to the No.18 police report. The police are currently investigating this incident.

       Australian Prime Minister: The perpetrators of fruit hidden needles will be severely punished.

Is the antibody obtained by infection better than vaccination? Can I get a vaccine after turning negative, and how long can I get it? Cancer patients are the priority population for vaccination? 【 tip

  Is the antibody obtained by infection better than vaccination?

  Can I get COVID-19 vaccine after turning negative? How long can I get vaccinated?

  Are cancer patients the priority population for vaccination?

  Wang Huaqing, chief expert of immunization program of China CDC.

  Authoritative answer

  Is the antibody obtained by infection better than vaccination?

  Can young people relax their protection against Omicron?

  Although the pathogenicity of Omicron mutant is weaker than that of Covid-19, there is still a risk of severe illness and death when infected with Omicron mutant, and its risk can appear inAny age group, including adults, teenagers and children. Of course, the elderly and people with basic diseases have the highest risk ratio.

  At present, many studies have shown that the risk of hospitalization, or the risk of severe illness and death of unvaccinated people, including adolescents and adults, is quite different from those who have completed the whole course or strengthened immunization with Covid-19 vaccine.

  This risk can be reduced to some extent by vaccination. Not vaccinated against Covid-19, andThe risk of serious illness and death caused by pure natural infection.Significantly higher than those vaccinated.. Therefore, it is suggested that those who have not been vaccinated should complete the vaccination as soon as possible, and those who have not completed the enhanced vaccination should complete the enhanced vaccination as soon as possible, so as to reduce this risk to a relatively low level, whether it is the elderly, adults or young people.

  Can I get COVID-19 vaccine after turning negative? How long can I get vaccinated?

  Can a second dose of booster immunization be carried out?

  If it is confirmed by nucleic acid test or antigen test that Covid-19 has been infected recently, it is not recommended to vaccinate the infected person with Covid-19 vaccine in the near future.

  A number of studies have consistently shown that the immunity produced by Covid-19 infection is weaker than the mixed immunity produced by infection and vaccination. If Covid-19 vaccine is needed in the later period, according to the current regulations, the time between infection and vaccination should be more than 6 months. We will continue to evaluate the necessity of vaccination for infected people according to the virus variation, vaccine research progress and epidemic situation, and constantly improve the immunization strategy.

  Are cancer patients the priority population for vaccination?

  Can people who are undergoing cancer treatment be vaccinated?

  What should I do if I encounter an inoculation point that is not supported?

  Due to illness or chemotherapy, radiotherapy and other treatment measures, some cancer patients have moderate or severe immune dysfunction, which increases the risk of severe COVID-19’s disease and death. Therefore, cancer patients need to be vaccinated with Covid-19 vaccine.Belong to the priority vaccination population.

  There are many types of clinical manifestations of cancer, and the treatment measures are also different.Whether a patient is in the onset stage or in the treatment stage can be vaccinated depends on the judgment of relevant professionals.. The immune response of cancer patients after vaccination with Covid-19 vaccine may not be as good as that of healthy people because of their low immune function. In the "Work Plan for Strengthening Vaccination in Covid-19 for the Elderly", it is specifically mentioned that all localities should "scientifically evaluate contraindications, and list the specific reasons for those who do have contraindications", which is also applicable to the current evaluation of contraindications for cancer patients.

  COVID-19 vaccine is only valid for six months?

  People who have already completed the whole course of immunization,

  Is it still effective to carry out intensive immunization now?

  Vaccination with Covid-19 vaccine has protective effects on immunity, including antibody, cellular immunity and immune memory. Current research shows that with the passage of time, there has been a decline in antibodies, on the other hand, virus mutation has also appeared immune escape. However, cellular immunity lasts longer.

  Studies have shown that vaccination with booster needles can arouse immune memory cells, effectively raise antibody levels, improve vaccine protection, and further consolidate the effect of preventing Covid-19 infection-related hospitalization and death.

  If the booster immunization is not completed, as long as it meets the vaccination conditions, it should be completed as soon as possible in accordance with the provisions of the immunization program. Of course, we should also systematically evaluate the effect of strengthening immunization and constantly improve the immunization strategy. In the future, whether it is vaccine research and development or improving existing vaccines, we should start from two aspects: first, we should consolidate and realize lasting and extensive protective immunity; Second, we should make further efforts in blocking infection and preventing transmission.
