How to keep the smile of finless porpoise?

On May 20, tourists watched the finless porpoise skeleton specimens in the exhibition room of the reserve. The Yangtze finless porpoise is a rare freshwater mammal unique to China, and it is a national second-class protected wild aquatic animal. At present, there are only over 1,000 finless porpoises, which belong to "extremely endangered" animals. On the occasion of the International Biodiversity Day on May 22nd, the reporter visited Tongling Freshwater Dolphin National Nature Reserve in Anhui Province. Since the establishment of the nature reserve, four Yangtze finless porpoises have been captured and put into Jiajiang in semi-natural waters for breeding and breeding research. Over the years, the finless porpoises kept in the waters of the nature reserve have been carefully taken care of by staff and researchers. At present, the number of finless porpoises in the nature reserve has reached 10, including two young porpoises born on May 4 and 10 respectively. The finless porpoises raised by ex situ conservation lead a carefree life, but those living in the natural waters of the Yangtze River have a completely different fate. In recent years, due to shipping, sand mining, illegal fishing, climate change, water pollution and other reasons, the ecological environment of the Yangtze River is deteriorating. According to the prediction of researchers, if the ecological environment of the Yangtze River is not improved, the finless porpoise species will be functionally extinct within 15 to 20 years. For the future of the finless porpoise, researchers expect that if the finless porpoise is included in the national first-class protected animal list, various human behaviors and development in the living area of the finless porpoise are expected to be more restricted. "Do not give up in-situ protection, strengthen ex situ protection and natural reproduction protection under artificial conditions" has gradually become the consensus of finless porpoise protection experts.Dr. Chen Ran, a researcher at Tongling Freshwater Dolphin National Nature Reserve, said, "It is more important to protect the original living environment and habitat of this species. In-situ protection is fundamental, and ex-situ protection is a relatively helpless choice." Xinhua News Agency reporter Liu Junxi photo

German Defense Minister: The EU cannot fulfill its promise to deliver 1 million artillery shells to Ukraine.

  According to Agence France-Presse reported in Reference News on November 14th, German Defense Minister Boris Pistori said on the 14th that the EU would not be able to fulfill its previous commitment to supply 1 million artillery shells to Ukraine within one year. At the same time, the EU is trying to ensure the supply of weapons to Kiev.

  In March this year, the European Union approved a plan costing 2 billion euros and promised to provide 1 million artillery shells to Ukraine in the coming year. However, a source recently revealed that this plan has only been completed about 30%.

  At the meeting of defense ministers of EU member states held in Brussels on 14th, Pistori Uss questioned whether this goal was realistic. Pistori Uss said: "It was warned that one million shells are easy to export, money is available, but production must be in place. Unfortunately, these warnings have now been confirmed. What is certain is that 1 million shells will not be realized. "

  It is reported that this statement made by Pistori Ouss is the first time that high-level officials of EU countries have publicly admitted that this goal cannot be achieved, and the defense ministers of other countries attending the defense ministers’ meeting of EU members have not refuted Pistori Ouss’ statement. Some officials attending the meeting said that European military enterprises do not have the production capacity to achieve this goal. However, some officials believe that it is worthwhile to set an ambitious goal and encourage enterprises to increase production capacity, and say that European military enterprises are "making progress" in increasing production capacity.

  According to borrell, the EU’s High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, in the first phase of the EU’s ammunition aid program to Ukraine, the EU has provided more than 300,000 artillery shells, some of which came from ammunition stocks of member countries. In the second phase of the plan, the key task of the EU is to order more shells from military enterprises according to the joint ammunition procurement plan.

  According to CCTV news, the European Defence Agency said on September 29th that according to an EU joint ammunition procurement plan drawn up in March this year, seven EU countries have ordered 155 mm caliber artillery shells for Ukraine. According to the plan, EU countries except neutral countries and Norway will jointly purchase ammunition for Ukraine. The EU also promised to provide Ukraine with 1 million 155 mm caliber artillery shells within one year. At that time, the European Defence Agency indicated that there might be more ammunition orders from EU member states in the coming months.

CCTV launched a big data platform for grassroots governance to open up the "last meter" of government services.

  Recently, CCTV’s grassroots governance big data platform was officially launched. The platform is an active measure for mainstream media to implement the central government’s request to strengthen the governance of complaint sources, build a new pattern of grass-roots governance system and modernization of governance capacity, and has practical significance for promoting the goal of "obviously improving the level of social governance, especially grass-roots governance" during the 14 th Five-Year Plan period.

  According to the person in charge of the Big Data Research Institute of CCTV, the big data platform for grass-roots governance implements the development idea of "people-centered", and through establishing direct contact with 90% of the families in the area under its jurisdiction, the "last meter" of government services is completely opened up, providing strong support for grass-roots social governance, micro-power supervision, mass prevention and control of the whole people, local public opinion monitoring, data collection of people’s livelihood, party and village affairs construction, rural revitalization service and other aspects. Considering the realistic characteristics of the great difference between urban and rural areas and the heavy burden on the grassroots, and in order to take care of the fact that the cognitive ability of the masses is uneven and the cultural level of village (community) cadres is different, we use the interactive forms such as WeChat group and applet that everyone is used to to to connect with and serve the masses. Through SaaS services, the government does not need to invest in software and hardware construction, and it can achieve one-day deployment, one-week activation and one-month effect. It is reported that the platform has been popularized and applied in Hunan and Sichuan, and as the top project of the municipal party committee secretary, it has achieved four-level coverage of cities, counties, towns and villages.

  In recent years, the role of the new mainstream media in the modern governance system is becoming more prominent and more advantageous, and it has increasingly become an important starting point for the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity. Qian Wei, secretary of the Party Committee and chairman of CCTV, believes that media integration is developing in depth, and the mainstream media should find new space in deep integration into national governance and social governance, so as to better perform their duties and missions and consolidate and expand mainstream ideological public opinion by providing digital government services for the people.

Biden announced his withdrawal from the election and shocked all parties! US media: He became the first incumbent US president to give up his re-election opportunity in 56 years.

  [Feng Yaren, special correspondent of the Global Times in the United States, and Ren Zhong, special correspondent of the Global Times] Under the strong pressure within the Democratic Party, US President Biden announced his withdrawal from the 2024 US presidential election in a statement on the afternoon of July 21, local time, and expressed support for Vice President Harris to take over the nomination of the Democratic Party and run for the presidency. The US media said that this decision marked the rapid and shocking end of Biden’s 52-year electoral political career, and Biden became the first incumbent president to give up his re-election opportunity in 56 years. The last person who gave up re-election was President lyndon johnson, who was mired in the Vietnam War. In March 1968, he announced that he would not seek another term. For Biden’s withdrawal from the election, former US President Barack Obama praised his decision and said that "Biden is a patriot of the highest level". Democratic Senator Bennett said Biden’s withdrawal gave the Democratic Party a "chance to beat Trump". However, Republican presidential candidate Trump criticized Biden as the worst president in American history. He also said that Harris will be more easily defeated than Biden. The New York Times commented that Biden led the United States out of the epidemic and the ensuing economic turmoil, but his hope of bridging the widening rift in the United States during Trump’s administration has been shattered, and American society is still seriously polarized. At the same time, Biden’s decision subverted the campaign and laid the foundation for an unprecedented noisy and unpredictable campaign in modern history. Harris has only 107 days left to consolidate the support of Democrats and establish himself as a credible national leader.

  

  Announce online instead of facing the camera

  "Being your president is the greatest honor in my life." Biden said in a letter posted on social media, "Although I have always intended to seek re-election, I believe that it is in the best interests of my party and country to withdraw from the election and focus on fulfilling my duties as president during the remaining term." Later, he posted on social media that he fully supported the nomination of Harris as the Democratic presidential candidate. He also called on Democrats to unite to defeat Republican presidential candidate Trump.

  Since his poor performance in the first TV debate at the end of June, Biden has faced increasing pressure within the Democratic Party. According to US media reports, former President Obama and former Speaker of the House of Representatives Pelosi are privately worried about whether Biden can win this autumn’s general election. Senate Majority Leader Schumer and House Minority Leader jeffries persuaded Biden to quit gracefully, while angry "financiers" threatened to refuse to provide funds.

  Although Biden has always insisted that he will not withdraw from the election, the situation changed last weekend. The New York Times quoted an anonymous source as saying that Biden began to change his mind last Saturday. He stayed at his home in Delaware with his family and three assistants, and later called in his long-term adviser, Mike donilon. Because he was still ill, he chose not to make a statement of withdrawal in front of the camera, but wrote the above letter with donilon. According to the report, Biden made up his mind on Sunday morning local time, and separately called Harris, White House Chief of Staff Zintz and Jennifer o’malley Tommy Tam, chairman of his campaign team, to reveal the decision. At 1: 46 pm, the letter was posted online.

  After Biden announced his withdrawal from the election, Harris issued a statement thanking Biden and said, "I am honored to get the support of the president, and my purpose is to win this nomination." Schumer praised Biden’s announcement that he would not seek re-election, calling Biden "a true patriot and a great American".

  According to Reuters’s report on the 21st, many politicians also reacted to Biden’s decision to withdraw from the election. British Prime Minister Stamer said in a statement: "I respect President Biden’s decision and look forward to working together for the rest of his presidency." Spanish Prime Minister Sanchez said on the social platform: "I admire and recognize President Biden’s brave and solemn decision."

  In an interview with NBC, Trump responded to Biden’s withdrawal, saying, "No president has ever done so much damage to our country, and we will correct what he did." House Speaker Johnson wrote on the social platform: "If Biden is not suitable for running for the presidency, then he is not suitable for the presidency. He must resign immediately. "

  A group of Democrats expressed their support for Harris.

  Washington post said on the 21st that after Biden decided to stop running for re-election, there were two ways to choose a candidate who could replace him as the Democratic presidential candidate. One is virtual voting. Representatives of the Democratic Party decided on a new presidential candidate in early August through online voting. The US media said that this process is likely to benefit Harris to avoid conflicts at the Democratic National Convention.

  If the Democratic Party does not hold a virtual vote, or fails to reach a consensus on a new candidate before the National Congress is held on August 19th, then the final candidate needs to be selected at the meeting. Washington post said that because the final nominator needs more than half of the thousands of delegates attending the meeting, there is a high probability that there will be multiple rounds of voting. "Although this is likely to be a wonderful TV program, it is by no means an ideal situation to have a party split at the conference site."

  Despite Biden’s support, Harris has not yet secured the Democratic nomination. The Wall Street Journal said on the 22nd that representatives of the Democratic National Committee are free to vote for the people of their choice. California Governor Newsom, Michigan Governor Whitmer, Pennsylvania Governor Shapiro and Illinois Governor Pritzker are all strong contenders. Selecting candidates from Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ohio or other "rust belt" States can help Democrats win over key voters.

  According to The New York Times, four influential figures in the Democratic Party did not immediately express their support for Harris. Among them was former President Obama, who made no mention of Harris or any other candidate in his statement after Biden announced his withdrawal. In addition, Schumer, jeffries and former Speaker of the House of Representatives Pelosi have not expressed their support for Harris. CNN said that the reason why these top Democratic Party members did not express their position immediately was to avoid appearing that they would force Harris to become a presidential candidate to voters too quickly.

  However, The New York Times and other American media believe that Harris is still the most likely candidate. Former President Clinton, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and at least dozens of Democratic Party members have publicly expressed their support for Harris. Some Democrats who are considered as potential rivals or running mates in Harris’ party have also joined the ranks of supporting Harris, including Arizona Senator Kelly, Transportation Minister Butigig, California Governor Newsom and Pennsylvania Governor Shapiro.

  "Harris and Biden are no different"

  According to the Wall Street Journal reported on the 22nd, Harris and her allies took action on the 21st to consolidate the support of the "big money owners". She and her husband had many private conversations with the rich who had supported her that day. According to CNN, Biden’s campaign team submitted a written document to the Federal Election Commission on the 21st, requesting to change the name of the team to "Harris Presidential Campaign Committee". According to the Campaign Law Center, this means that if Harris stays on the list of candidates for the general election, she can control Biden’s campaign account, which had nearly $96 million in cash at the end of June. The New York Times said that in an internal conference call, the head of Biden’s campaign team told the staff that they would now work for Harris.

  Washington post reported on the 21st that although Biden has supported Harris to replace him as the Democratic presidential candidate, a recent poll found that there is no difference between Harris and Biden when facing Trump. After summarizing the recent 11 polls, the newspaper found that Trump led Harris by an average of 1.5 percentage points, only slightly lower than his advantage of 1.9 percentage points ahead of Biden.

  Sources told Reuters that the Trump campaign had been preparing for Harris’s possible "rise" for several weeks, and that immigration and economic policies were closely linked, and it was planned to try to link her with Biden’s immigration and economic policies. CNN quoted people familiar with the matter as saying that Trump’s team is planning to launch a series of negative advertisements to attack Harris in the above areas. Reuters said that the Trump team also produced advertisements accusing Harris of hiding Biden’s health problems from the public. "Look what she has done: border invasion, runaway inflation, and the American dream is shattered." The voice in the advertisement said.

  However, the report also quoted political strategists as saying that Harris, as the Democratic presidential candidate, may change the campaign situation in unexpected ways. A 59-year-old black Asian woman will create a new dynamic with 78-year-old Trump. The United States has never elected a female president in its 248-year history. It is wrong for the Trump campaign to think that Harris can be Biden’s simple body double, because she has potential appeal to different voters.

Analysis of the official map of the new generation Honda Accord with Gemini in battle

    [XCAR official map analysis original]

    As a heavyweight model of Honda brand, Accord officially released the official picture of the 2013 model last week. At the same time, the 2013 model is also the ninth generation model in the Accord. The official map released this time shows us two models: one is the ordinary four-door sedan version, and the other is the Coupe version which is very similar to the concept version of the Accord coupe released by Honda at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year. Among them, the four-door sedan version will be officially made in China next year. Below we will give a detailed introduction to the two models.

    Judging from the official pictures, the overall design style of the ninth-generation Honda Accord continues the stability of the eighth-generation model, but also highlights the sports style. The design of the front face is more passionate, and there are many changes compared with the eighth generation models.

    First of all, let’s look at the changes in the air intake grille. The ninth generation of Accord still uses a double-width chrome-plated air intake grille, but the difference with the eighth generation is that it adopts a horizontal design. At the same time, the upper chrome-plated decorative strip was also cancelled, while the wide U-shaped chrome-plated decorative strip added below was connected with the engine cover in response to the headlights. The lines on the inner side of the U-shaped chrome-plated decorative strip also extend upward to the hood, forming two protruding rib lines, which makes the strength of the front of the car feel spontaneously.

    The new headlight design is more slender than the eighth generation model, and the internal structure of the headlight has also changed, and LED daytime running lights have also been added.

    The design of the front bumper is also very clear and concise, and the redesigned rectangular fog light is clearly distinguished from the black honeycomb lower air intake grille to form an integral area.

    When we come to the side of the car body, we can find that the slightly dry side line of the car body on the eighth generation model has disappeared, and it has been replaced by a line design that highlights the outline. In addition, the turn signal integrated in the exterior rearview mirror is designed to be slimmer, which is similar to the hidden design.

    The most prominent point in the reinterpretation of the tail is the design of the taillights. The brand-new taillights still use red and white color matching design, and LED light sources are added inside the lamp group. The tail light group extending to the trunk lid makes the tail more atmospheric and stable.

    The newly added chrome-plated decorative strip above the license plate frame connects the taillights, which makes the tail feel luxurious. At the same time, the design of the rear bumper is more concise than that of the eighth generation models, eliminating complicated lines and feeling more solid. Slim reflective strips are also added above the exhaust pipes with single outlet on both sides to improve the safety during driving.

    In terms of wheels, the nine-generation Accord model adopts ten-spoke aluminum alloy wheels, which is more restrained than the seven-spoke aluminum alloy wheels of the eight-generation model.

2.7 million riders, so that "flash" is no longer science fiction?

Same city delivery, when was the last time you used it?

Recently, BingEx Limited started PDIE (investor education before trading), which is regarded as an important step before IPO.

As of June 30, 2024, Flash disclosed that it had about 2.7 million registered riders.

If the listing is successful, it means that 2.7 million registered riders will hold up an IPO.

According to the prospectus, in the first half of 2021 -2024, the revenue of flash delivery reached 3.040 billion yuan, 4.003 billion yuan, 4.529 billion yuan and 2.284 billion yuan respectively, and the corresponding net profit was-291 million yuan,-180 million yuan, 110 million yuan and 124 million yuan.

This means that since 2023, Flash will begin to turn losses into profits.

However, the media also found that the reason for turning losses is not the increase in business income, but the increase in government subsidies.

In the prospectus, Flash said that the profit in 2023 was mainly due to the increase of government subsidies, which increased other income from 9.2 million yuan in 2022 to 74.32 million yuan, and the operating profit related to the operating conditions was only 11 million yuan.

According to the data of the third party iResearch, according to the revenue in 2023, Flash Delivery is the largest independent express delivery service provider in China, with a market share of about 33.9%.

According to the prospectus, unit economic benefit and replicable network are the core competitive advantages of Flash, which enables the company to continuously expand its scale and order volume and improve its profitability.

Compared with other instant delivery platforms, Flash delivery has said that its biggest feature is to focus on "one-on-one delivery".

This means that a courier is responsible for the whole service process from the sender to the recipient, and a courier can only take one order at a time, and will not take other orders until the current order ends.

With such exclusive service, can you really open the blue ocean of distribution in the same city?

At the same time, at present, giants have cut into the same city distribution, especially after running errands. What challenges will there be for some enterprises without giant resources?

What challenges will be faced after the flash IPO to the United States?

In this regard, Sina science and technology Luo Ning and Shu Le had some exchanges, and this monkey thought:

Users may not like the exclusive "social currency" such as "personal service", but how much it is necessary to make urgent delivery frequently.

In fact, there is still a demand for distribution in the same city. Just to meet this demand, the technology needed is still "sci-fi", which cannot be solved by riders.

In the field of labor-intensive express logistics, it is difficult to reduce the high labor cost only by simple digital management and flat channels.

As a new track, the business in the same city requires higher manpower density and frequency, and it is more difficult to solve it with traditional management.

Distribution in the same city is still in the stage of land reclamation, whether it is a giant or a start-up, its market development is just entry, and there are not many resources available for logistics in different places.

The whole scene of logistics in the same city has not been opened, which is limited to simple running errands or moving, similar to better matching some long tail demands through the network front desk.

However, channel flatness is still not enough to solve the problems of cost and frequency.

Now, market share and monthly living are actually a kind of self-satisfaction.

Any logistics in the same city is faced with the problem of solving the scene of tapping the incremental market and increasing the frequency of user consumption.

The best way is to carry out more optimal solutions in artificial intelligence, big data and unmanned vehicles, so that manpower can play the highest role in the lowest configuration, and relying on equipment such as unmanned vehicles, there are more scenarios.

However, at present, these solutions are too sci-fi

The blue ocean of distribution in the same city is not only a virgin land, but also needs to take root for a long time, waiting for the real wind.

Aouita 12 latest 3.2 system, the ultimate audio tuning and sharing.

The latest 3.2 system, the ultimate audio tuning and sharing.

This time, Aouita 12′ s 3.2OTA system was updated, and the stereo finally opened all the speakers, which is a blessing for our car owners who chose the comfortable suit. Sky track, all the horns overhead can finally ring. However, as I said before, whether the speaker works depends on the quality of the music source. If the quality of the song is low and there are few recording channels, the speaker still doesn’t work. If it is a high-quality song, especially a panoramic version of the song, it is a great listening experience. The three-dimensional sense of the song is stronger, and the sound wall sounds fuller. Unfortunately, the overhead speaker can only be turned on in concert hall mode. In stereo and surge mode, the overhead speaker does not work. The advantage of surging mode is that the bass effect is better, and even the door will have bass vibration. Although the bass of the concert hall mode is not as obvious as before, the whole channel is turned on, which makes the music sound more stereoscopic. Therefore, I personally recommend the concert hall model. Let’s talk about the advantages and disadvantages of each music player and sound effect setting suggestions. First of all, in each music software, all the settings should choose the highest quality high-res or panoramic sound.

1 ~ Huawei Music

Advantages: As the native music APP of HarmonyOS cockpit, the tuning and adaptation of Huawei’s music is great, and the effects of many songs are very good, and it supports voice control. For example, whoever wants to listen to a song can be recognized and played immediately.

Disadvantages: a small number of music copyrights are not available, and senior members are expensive.

Recommended index: 4 stars

2 ~ Netease Cloud Music

Advantages: the sound quality is good, the setting and playing interface are simple, which is the gospel of the secondary music lovers. I heard that many copyrights of his secondary songs are in Netease Cloud.

Disadvantages: voice commands are not supported, and voice commands will jump to QQ music or Huawei music. In addition, car members need extra fees, which is not kind enough and has less copyright. The same song list has at least a dozen songs less than QQ music.

Recommended index: 3 stars

3 ~ QQ music

Advantages: Support voice command, or directly shout and play someone’s song. Music copyright is more, sound quality is better, members are more conscientious, and there is no extra charge for an account and mobile phone car.

Disadvantages: there are differences in copyright. It is strange that a small number of songs that can be played by mobile QQ music cannot be played on the car.

Recommended index: 5 stars

4 ~ Cool dog music

Advantages: There are more copyrights for songs, and the panoramic sound effect of python is great. The same song is in different apps. On the whole, the sound quality of cool dog is the best.

Disadvantages: members are expensive, sometimes there are bugs, the sound of playing songs is relatively small, and the linkage of ambient lights often fails.

Recommended index: 5 stars

5 ~ Mobile phone Bluetooth

You can play songs through the player on the mobile phone. The sound quality in the Bluetooth-linked car has a certain loss, and the Bluetooth sound quality was suspected to be cut in the beta version of the system. After feedback from the test riders, the official version of the system should be repaired.

Advantages, no flow.

Disadvantages, not convenient enough

6 ~ ultimate killer top music USB flash drive

Play panoramic sound lossless music with high-speed music USB flash drive, and enjoy the ultimate hearing. The sound quality is absolutely the best.

Disadvantages: you need to download the panoramic sound source yourself, which is not convenient enough for the car APP.

Finally, attach my QQ music account and song list.

AVATR highway song list (the music in it is light and active, suitable for high-speed long-distance listening, so as not to get sleepy)

Blue jazz is suitable for rainy days, listening to it after work in the evening and washing away the fatigue of the day.

Some riders reported that there was no sound in Sky Channel. I suggest you try the songs in the last few photos. If there is no sound in these songs, there may be something wrong with your stereo. Remember to ask for after-sales treatment.










A number of new aero-engines made their debut at the "China Core" Shining Air Show

CCTV News:Aeroengine is called the jewel in the industrial crown because of its high complexity and great difficulty in development. At this year’s China Air Show, several exhibition areas were set up, including military aviation power, commercial aviation power, general aviation power and unmanned aerial vehicle power, and a variety of new aero engines were exhibited.

CCTV reporter Li Xia:At the booth of China Hangfa, the first thing I saw was this "Taihang" engine. Taihang series engines are domestic large-scale military aviation turbofan engines. This one on display is the latest development type of Taihang engine. This engine has two key words: large thrust and afterburner. This is also the first appearance of this new engine.

After watching the military engine, the civil engine at this air show is equally eye-catching. Let’s look at this CJ1000A in the center of the booth. It is an engine specially used for medium-sized civil airliners. It can be installed on single-aisle passenger planes with about 160 seats, such as Airbus 320, Boeing 737 and our domestic passenger plane C919.

In addition, the smaller engine next to it is the CJ2000 engine, which is a scale model, so it looks smaller, but in fact its real machine is bigger than the one next to it. This engine is specially developed for dual-channel long-range wide-body passenger aircraft, which has the characteristics of low fuel consumption, low emission, low noise and high reliability.

After seeing the large engine, let’s look at the small one. For example, the one I have at hand is called CTF-3 turbofan engine. We can see that its painting and modeling are very exquisite. Its thrust is 650 kg, which can be used for high-altitude and high-speed drones and aircraft.

Ling Wenhui, Director of Beijing Institute of Power Machinery of Aerospace Science and Technology:(This engine) can be used on drones and missiles, so it is a multi-purpose engine. (It) adopts advanced technology, which is completely designed by ourselves. The flight test, ground test and small batch production have all been completed.
