◆ Toyota CrownOriginAnd its birth background (early 1950s)
  Built specifically for the business market

  In the early 1950s, in order to better meet the growing demand for corporate vehicles in Japan, Toyota began to develop the Crown sedan for business people, preparing to replace the previous RH model. However, Toyota was not sure whether the new design of the Crown would be acceptable to the market, so it also launched a slightly more conservative design of the Master model, mainly for the taxi market. However, due to the popularity of the Crown, Toyota discontinued the Master and changed its factory to produce the Crown.

  The RH, also known as the Super, was the fourth generation of Toyota’s first SA line-up after World War II, when the more competitive Crown replaced the RH as the mainstay in 1955.

Toyota’s first-generation Crown (1955-1962)
  Features: Compact/with open doors

  In January 1955, the first generation of Toyota’s self-produced Crown sedan was officially launched, and the first Crown was personally driven off the production line by President Hideji Toyota. The crown at that time had typical characteristics of the times in terms of styling design. The first generation of the crown used a ship-shaped body, the front of the car had two independent cylindrical headlights, the prominent cover was designed with prisms, the grille was designed with two layers inside and outside, and the lower bumper was also designed to be more prominent.

  The most distinctive design on the sides of the car is the folio of the front and rear doors to make it easier for passengers to get on and off. The same design was used on Toyota’s first model, the AA. The straight line at the rear of the body extends to the rear of the car, and the luggage compartment cover is designed to be streamlined.

The design of the car is very simple, the shift lever is located on the side of the steering column, and the central control part is made of metal. Except for simple instrument display and light control, there are only a few functional configurations. The front and rear seats of the first generation of Crown are all integrated headless design, which can seat up to six people.

  In the power part, the Crown was originally equipped with a Toyota R series 4-cylinder engine with a displacement of 1.5L and a maximum of 49 horsepower. It transmitted engine power to the rear wheels at 3 speeds. In the chassis part, the structure of the first-generation Crown was an independent front suspension and a non-independent rear suspension.

  In December 1955, Toyota introduced the Crown Deluxe Edition, which turned the left and right windshields into one piece, and upgraded the radio and warm air to standard configuration. In October 1958, the Crown ushered in the first facelift, and the changes in the new car were mainly reflected in the appearance and power. The front face was redesigned, the headlights were added with a protective cover, the grille style was more holistic, the trim strips on the side of the body were extended to the rear, the trunk cover became angular, and the area of the taillights was also increased. In terms of power, the facelift model followed the R series 1.5L engine, but the power output of the standard version was increased to 61 horsepower, and the power output of the deluxe version was increased to 63 horsepower.

  In October 1959, Toyota first launched the equipped Crown model, which was also the first diesel sedan in Japan. It was equipped with the Toyota C series engine with a displacement of 1.5L and a maximum power of only 40 horsepower. In October 1960, the Crown ushered in a facelift again. The new car was equipped with a new 1.9L 3R engine, and the transmission part could choose 2 speeds in addition to a 3-speed manual transmission. The 1.9L power version was originally only equipped with the Crown Deluxe Edition (maximum power 96 horsepower). In April 1961, the Crown Standard Edition was also equipped with a 1.9L engine (maximum power 86 horsepower).

  In terms of special editions, the first-generation Crown was introduced as a taxi version in March 1959, in addition to two commercial vehicle editions: and.

  From 1957 to 1960, the first-generation Crown became the first Japanese car to be exported to the United States, but it sold only 287 units. To promote the reliability of the Crown, Toyota held long-distance endurance races from Los Angeles to New York. Unfortunately, it did not have a positive effect because the Crown withdrew from the race shortly after the start of the race.

  The Crown was "unsuitable" in the United States, because the car was only equipped with a small 1.5L engine in the face of the characteristics of Japanese road conditions at the time (mud, low speed, unpaved). The embarrassment of insufficient power caused the Crown to be criticized in the United States. Even after being upgraded to a more powerful engine, sales still did not improve.

All the wonderful contents are at 21:10 on Friday, June 26th, Japan. Lock in "Run" by Zhejiang Satellite TV’s An Muxi, and let’s run for the better!

Too dangerous! Three children play on the roof, and the video makes people feel scared.

As can be seen in the picture, three children who look only 7 or 8 years old are squatting on a platform on the roof of the top floor, which is less than half a meter away from the outermost eaves of the building. If they are not careful, they may slip from one side and look shocking. According to the owner of the community, there were 13 residential buildings in the community with 17 floors. At about 4: 20 pm that day, an owner immediately reported the situation to the community property after accidentally discovering these three children. Mr. Ke, the owner of the second phase of Haikou Nanhai Xingfuhui Community: (At that time) some owners saw this matter, and (immediately) called the security guard to see it. After a few minutes, the security guard went to drive them down. It was still scary, because once any situation or accident occurred, it was really difficult (accepted).

On the day of the interview, the property staff of the community told the reporter that the three children in the video were all children of the owners of the community. At the time of the incident, the security personnel of the property were patrolling the vicinity of the building. While receiving the feedback from the owner, the security personnel also found the abnormality by searching for the sound. Therefore, in just five minutes, the staff rushed to the scene and rescued the three people in time and sent them back to their parents’ homes. Staff of Nanhai Xingfuhui Phase II Management Office of Hainan Hejia Property Hotel Service Co., Ltd.: (At that time) When it was reported to us, our people were already on it, and they advised the child to come down slowly. (Reporter: How did they know about this place?) At the beginning, they said that someone would take us up, but we only saw the three of them. After going up, I said how did you climb up, and he said it was fun.

Subsequently, the reporter came to the rooftop of the incident. It can be seen at the scene that the door leading to the rooftop has been locked at this time, but the corresponding key is placed in a prominent position on the side; In the center of the gate and around the rooftop fence, obvious signs or tips such as no climbing and throwing objects are set up. The property staff told the reporter that according to the Code for Fire Protection Design of Buildings, the door leading to the balcony on the roof belongs to the evacuation passage and safety exit, and shall not be occupied, blocked or closed; In the daily management process, the gate should be in a normally closed but not locked state, and this management method may cause some irrelevant personnel to enter and leave the rooftop at will, causing security risks. Therefore, the current property can only take such a "compromise" approach.

Three children playing on the roof: strengthening technical supervision of property

Parental care is especially important!

The door of the rooftop should be normally closed but not locked, but this may cause some irrelevant personnel to enter and leave the rooftop at will, causing security risks. So how to manage this door? We continue to look down. Staff of Nanhai Xingfuhui Phase II Management Office of Hainan Hejia Property Hotel Service Co., Ltd.: We can’t say that it is sealed, which violates the fire protection (regulations). If we don’t seal it, we are afraid that Xiong Haizi will run up like this, and we will put a key there, an emergency key. If there is a fire or something, we can take the key out and open the door. If we follow all the regulations, it is not good.

On the day of the interview, the reporter visited the rooftops of different residential buildings and found that although most of the doors leading to the rooftops were not closed, they also lacked proper management, and almost anyone could enter and exit at will; Although the area around the rooftop is equipped with necessary protection, there are few relevant warnings or reminders. Since effective control is the need of security, but it is also the need of fire fighting, the owners also expressed their views on how to effectively manage the rooftop gate property. Residents of Haikou Nanhai Xingfu Hui Phase II: This security precaution is still necessary, and some additional personnel should be sent to patrol regularly. Residents of Haikou Nanhai Happiness Exchange Phase II: (Tiantai Gate) Then change the password lock, and then let the owner know it. (Reporter: Don’t let the children know it?) Yes, or if you (key) put it higher, it’s ok if the children can’t reach it.

Residents of Haikou Nanhai Happiness Exchange Phase II: You have to install a high-rise public video, because the high-rise public video is not only a timely feedback on the situation of children going up, but also can be seen by property security guards. In fact, during the winter and summer holidays or festivals every year, children go to the rooftop to play on their own, which has appeared in many places one after another and even caused serious consequences. Then, as a manager, how can residential properties effectively avoid similar incidents? Haikou Property Management Industry Association said that while implementing regulatory responsibilities, it is equally important to incorporate normal publicity and popularization.

Liang Jinhua, Secretary-General of Haikou Property Management Industry Association: Property management units should fulfill their security obligations, set up suggestive or warning signs at entrances and exits (rooftops) or in prominent positions around them, or increase publicity in the community. Some prohibited behaviors should be told to owners or users, so that parents can know what prohibited behaviors exist, manage their children well, and normalize this publicity to prevent accidents.

Many places held recruitment examinations for public institutions today, and examinations in some areas were postponed.

  BEIJING, Beijing, September 17 (Reporter Qi Feng) Today, many provinces will hold open recruitment written examinations for public institutions in the second half of 2022, and some areas will suspend or postpone the examinations due to the epidemic. Since the beginning of this year, many regions have clearly expanded the recruitment scale of public institutions, and emphasized that the recruitment plan is inclined to college graduates and grassroots positions.

  Postpone the recruitment examination for public institutions in some areas.

  In August this year, Shaanxi, Anhui and other provinces started the open recruitment of public institutions in the second half of 2022, and all localities scheduled the written test time to be held on September 17.

  However, due to the epidemic, some areas have recently notified that the upcoming recruitment examination for public institutions will be suspended.

  On September 14th, Yunnan Personnel Examinations Institute issued an announcement, and decided to suspend the written examination of public subjects of public institutions open recruitment classification examination in Yunnan Province in the second half of 2022, which was scheduled to be held on September 17th. Earlier, Changchun, Jilin Province also issued a notice to postpone the open recruitment of written examinations by public institutions on September 17, and the time for restarting and printing the written examination admission ticket will be notified 10 days in advance according to the stable control of the epidemic.

  Some areas in Shaanxi, Hainan, Liaoning and other places have explicitly postponed the examination, while in areas where the examination is held normally, strict epidemic prevention and control requirements have been issued in various places.

  For example, according to the notification and commitment letter for prevention and control of epidemic situation in written examination issued by Anhui province in the second half of 2022, all candidates need to provide negative proof of nucleic acid test within 48 hours before taking the exam. In addition, during the examination, in addition to verifying the information, you should take off the mask and wear a disposable medical mask all the time.

  The recruitment of public institutions is inclined to college graduates.

  This year, various localities have introduced policies to facilitate the employment of college graduates. Among them, many provinces will definitely expand the development and supply of policy posts such as civil servants and institutions.

  For example, in May this year, Jilin Province issued "Several Measures on Actively Responding to the Impact of the Epidemic and Doing a Good Job in the Employment of College Graduates and Other Key Groups". According to reports, the number of civil servants and institutions recruited in Jilin Province this year is about 22,000, an increase of 10% over last year. Among them, the recruitment of public institutions increased by 2000.

  In July, the Shaanxi Provincial Department of Human Resources and Social Security also made it clear that it decided to conduct another open recruitment of college graduates in institutions throughout the province in the second half of 2022, and strive to increase the number of recruiters in cities, counties and township institutions by more than 15% compared with last year.

  In addition, Shaanxi has made it clear that the country and the key counties for rural revitalization in Shaanxi Province, as well as the hard and remote counties and districts, can take out a certain number of jobs to recruit college graduates (or students) with household registration in the county, the city or surrounding counties and cities. It can be targeted for poverty-stricken families, low-income families, zero-employment families and disabled college graduates.

  Expert: Encourage graduates to start businesses with grassroots officers.

  In 2022, the number of college graduates exceeded 10 million for the first time. In order to promote the employment of college students, since this year, many parties have introduced preferential policies for fresh graduates to promote the enrollment expansion of policy posts for fresh graduates.

  Zhu Lijia, a professor at the Central Party School (National School of Administration), said that strengthening the supply of policy posts such as civil servants, institutions and teachers in various places is a stable policy guarantee for the job market, especially for college students.

  Zhu Lijia said that encouraging college students with new knowledge, new ideas and high quality to supplement the grassroots and promoting college students to start businesses at the grassroots level is not only from the perspective of promoting employment, but also the need to speed up the modernization of grassroots governance capacity.

  In fact, as far as the content of the examination is concerned, the content of the recruitment examination for public institutions is also more subdivided. For example, the examination is divided into five categories: comprehensive management (Class A), social science expertise (Class B), natural science expertise (Class C), primary and secondary school teachers (Class D) and medical and health care (Class E). The public subjects are "Occupational aptitude test" and "Comprehensive application ability".

  "This is mainly based on the different requirements of different recruitment positions in public institutions for the ability and quality of applicants." Ou Hai, an expert from Huatu Education Research Institute, said that compared with the public subjects of the civil service examination, the recruitment examination of public institutions is more detailed and the examination content is more professional, and the basic quality and ability factors closely related to the job are tested.
