The provincial environmental protection department should take the lead in formulating and organizing the implementation of the emergency plan for heavy air pollution in the Pearl River Delta region as soon as possible, and announce it to the public in a timely manner. In order to go public at all levels, it is necessary to formulate emergency plans for heavy air pollution in the region, clarify the responsible subjects, organizations, job responsibilities, early warning and response procedures, safeguard measures, etc., and announce them to the public in a timely manner. Local governments should incorporate the emergency treatment of heavy air pollution into the emergency management system of local emergencies and implement the responsibility system of the main person in charge. Establish and improve the regional air pollution prediction and early warning mechanism of monitoring and forecasting-expert consultation-reporting for approval-response implementation. When heavy pollution weather is predicted, local governments should take emergency response measures in time and organize all relevant parties to carry out their work as required.

  (eleven) improve the local regulations and technical standards system.

  1. Improve laws and regulations. Revise the Measures for the Administration of Pollutant Discharge Permit in Guangdong Province in a timely manner, accelerate the formulation of the Regulations on the Prevention and Control of Air Pollution in Guangdong Province, improve the systems of total control, pollutant discharge permit, emergency warning and accountability, realize the organic connection between administrative law enforcement and criminal justice, and improve the compensation system for environmental pollution damage according to the principle of "whoever pollutes is responsible and pays more for more emissions".

  2. Improve the standard system. Strengthen the preparation and revision of local standards in Guangdong Province, speed up the revision of the emission limit standards of atmospheric pollutants in Guangdong Province, formulate the limit standards of harmful substances in low-sulfur loose coal and products, coatings, inks and other products, clarify the emission standards of atmospheric pollutants for biomass briquettes and the emission standards of volatile organic compounds in key industries, establish the emission accounting system of volatile organic compounds in key industries, and strengthen the hard constraints of energy consumption and safety standards.

  3. Strengthen technical support. Strengthen the basic research on haze, ozone formation mechanism, source analysis, migration law, etc., and carry out the study on the exposure-response relationship between air pollution and population health. Support the construction of Guangdong National Key Laboratory of Environmental Protection and encourage environmental protection enterprises to build engineering technology research and development centers and engineering research centers (laboratories). Actively develop products and equipment for desulfurization and denitrification, high-efficiency dust removal, volatile organic compounds control, diesel engine (vehicle) emission purification, environmental monitoring, etc., and popularize a number of advanced and practical technologies to solve regional compound air pollution problems.

  (12) Improve environmental and economic policies.

  1. Improve the price system of resources and environment. Give full play to the leverage of resource prices and guide enterprises to produce green and consume green in society. Study and formulate differentiated and stepped resource price policies, and implement electricity price support policies for existing thermal power units that have adopted new technologies to transform dust removal facilities. Implement the policy of high quality and good price for oil products, and encourage oil refining enterprises to accelerate the pace of upgrading oil products.

  2. Increase fiscal and taxation support. At the provincial and local levels, the funds for pollution prevention and control are listed as a whole, and the forms of "replacing compensation with awards", "promoting prevention with awards" and "promoting governance with awards" are adopted to support the prevention and control of air pollution. We will fully implement the preferential fiscal and taxation policies for contracted energy management, and actively explore the integrated franchise mode of investment, construction and operation of pollution control facilities. We will improve the support policies for the collection and emission reduction of sewage charges, and gradually levy sewage charges for volatile organic compounds, dust from construction sites, gas stations and operating catering fumes.

  3. Innovative environmental protection financial policies. Establish green credit, green securities and environmental pollution liability insurance systems, incorporate corporate environmental information into the bank credit information system, and strictly restrict environmentally illegal enterprises from obtaining loans or listing financing. Accelerate the pilot work of paid use and trading of emission rights and carbon emission rights such as sulfur dioxide.

  (13) Improve the participation mechanism of the whole society.

  1. Timely disclosure of environmental information. Since 2014, the provincial environmental protection department will regularly publish the air quality status and ranking of cities at or above the local level every month, and all state-controlled and provincial-controlled air quality monitoring stations in the province will release air quality information to the public in real time. All localities should establish a compulsory disclosure system for environmental information of enterprises in heavily polluting industries, promptly and proactively publish information such as environmental impact assessment approval of new projects, sewage charges, supervision and law enforcement penalties, pollutant discharge of key enterprises, operation of pollution control facilities, and regularly publish environmental credit rating results of key pollution sources.

  2. Mobilize the whole people to participate. Actively carry out various forms of publicity, education and training, popularize scientific knowledge of air pollution prevention and control, advocate civilized, economical and green consumption patterns and living habits, and improve the enthusiasm of the public to participate in atmospheric environmental protection. Encourage the public to supervise and report air pollution by opening a hotline for reporting and hiring special supervisors for air pollution prevention and control, and support environmental protection social organizations and environmental protection volunteers to carry out social supervision activities.

  Municipal governments at or above the local level shall, in accordance with this action plan, pay close attention to formulating specific implementation plans for the region, decompose and implement tasks, and submit the progress of air pollution prevention and control work in the previous year to the provincial government before March 31 each year.

New standards for moon cakes are introduced to welcome the first Mid-Autumn Festival: five nuts should be collected for five-kernel moon cakes.

  BEIJING, Beijing, September 5 (Qiu Yu) The first Mid-Autumn Festival was ushered in after the introduction of the new moon cake standard. The new standard was formally implemented in December last year, and the Wuren moon cake, which has attracted much attention, is clearly defined.

  After investigating the moon cake market, the reporter found that the high-priced gift boxes above 2,000 yuan still exist, and ordinary gift boxes below 300 yuan are more popular. Because the new standard is not mandatory, there are still old packaged moon cakes on the market.

  Price — —

  Overall, it is the same as last year. The mooncake gift boxes below 300 yuan sell well.

  Many large supermarkets in Xicheng District of Beijing have put out mooncake gift boxes and bulk mooncakes. The reporter visited and found that the price of mooncake gift boxes ranged from tens of yuan to hundreds of yuan, and bulk mooncakes were mostly twenty or thirty yuan a catty, and some of them had promotions and discounts.

  A supermarket shopping guide in Xicheng District said that from the recent sales of mooncake gift boxes, gift boxes with a price of one or two hundred yuan are the most popular.

  The price of moon cakes sold online is also relatively close to the people. The reporter searched in JD.COM, Tmall and No.1 Store and found that the prices of the top 10 mooncake gift boxes were all within 200 yuan. Among them, the price of Tmall is lower than that of 100 yuan.

  Phenomenon — —

  Some high-end gift boxes are packaged three times the weight of moon cakes.

  There are still high-priced mooncake gift boxes on the Internet, but the sales volume is generally low.

  JD.COM, Tmall and No.1 Store all have mooncake gift boxes with a price of more than 2,000 yuan on sale. A three-story mooncake gift box costs more than 2600 yuan, and the price per gram of mooncake is more than 10 times that of ordinary mooncakes. Online customer service said that "brand" has raised the price of moon cakes to some extent.

  Another online salesperson of a high-end mooncake gift box said that in addition to the delicious mooncakes themselves, "packaging" is also the reason for the higher price of the gift box. According to the person, the net weight of the moon cakes in the gift box is more than 3 kg, and the total weight of the package is 12 kg. "The packaging material is tinplate, and the appearance is very high-end."

  However, the sales of high-end moon cakes online are flat. Take Tmall as an example. The monthly turnover of the top 10 mooncake gift boxes is less than 20, of which 6 are zero.

  Discover — —

  The new standard is not mandatory, and there are still old packaged moon cakes on sale.

  The reporter noticed that some of the mooncakes on sale in the market have been printed with the product standard number "GB/T 19855", and some mooncakes are still packaged with the old version of the "GB 19855" standard.

  China Bakery and Sugar Products Industry Association explained in the report "Development Trend of National Mooncake Industry in 2016" that the new standard is recommended and not mandatory. For example, enterprises that implement this standard need to carefully study the revision of the standard and do a good job in the implementation of the standard.

  After changing to recommended standards, does it mean that the industry standards have been relaxed? Guo Yaping, deputy director of Beijing Daoxiang Village Food Factory, believes that although it is a recommended national standard, enterprises should strictly implement the contents mentioned in the standard if they choose to adopt this standard and print new product standard numbers on the packaging.

  If the enterprise chooses to implement the new standard, what will happen to the packaging printed with the standard number of the old product?

  Guo Yaping said that the cost of a mooncake packaging box ranges from a few yuan to a dozen yuan, and throwing it away in large quantities will cause waste. For the old packaging in stock, Daoxiang Village adopts the form of adding new labels as a whole, covering the original labels. The new packaging adopted the new product standard number from the time of printing.

  Popular science — —

  Wuren moon cake has a strict definition: five kinds of nuts must be collected.

  In terms of types, the styles of mooncakes sold this year have increased. The new standard adds six categories of moon cakes: Chaozhou moon cakes, Yunnan moon cakes, Jin moon cakes, Qiong moon cakes, desktop moon cakes and Harbin moon cakes.

  In view of the most concerned Wuren moon cake, the new standard puts forward that "the moon cake filled with five main raw materials, such as walnut kernel, almond, olive kernel, melon seed kernel and sesame seed, can be called Wuren moon cake".

  This definition immediately caused controversy: Does Wuren moon cake have to contain the above five kinds of nuts?

  In this regard, the Pastry Sub-technical Committee of the National Baking Products Standardization Technical Committee explained in the letter that the word "equal" refers to the use of the above five kinds of nuts in the ingredients of Guangdong Wuren moon cake.

  Guo Yaping said that according to the understanding of the above letter, whether it is a five-kernel moon cake with olive kernels in the south or a five-kernel moon cake with pine nuts in the north, as long as it is processed with more than five kinds of nuts such as peach kernel and almond, it can be called five-kernel moon cake.

  She said that moon cakes are traditional foods and are produced all over the country. The promulgation and implementation of the new moon cake standard not only standardizes the production behavior of the moon cake industry, but also encourages the inheritance and innovation of traditional food culture.

  Industry observation — —

  The cost increases. Why didn’t the mooncake manufacturers raise their prices significantly?

  A person in charge of a moon cake company revealed that the prices and labor costs of raw materials such as edible vegetable oil, white sugar and nuts have risen this year, leading to an increase in the cost of moon cakes.

  "The price of white sugar is fluctuating and rising," said Sun Yue, an analyst with Zhuo Chuang Information. Taking Guangxi sugar as an example, the average ex-factory price in August was 5,870 yuan/ton, up 15% compared with the same period last year.

  Li Wenqian, an analyst at Zhuo Chuang Information, said that due to the increase in peanut prices in the first half of this year, the first-grade peanut oil squeezed by manufacturers has increased by about 1000 yuan/ton compared with the same period of last year, with a year-on-year increase of about 7.41%.

  Although the cost has increased, some enterprises have not significantly increased the price of moon cakes.

  Guo Yaping said that Daoxiang Village has a product price management strategy and process method, and the price adjustment will only be carried out when the price fluctuation of raw materials exceeds a certain proportion of the cost. Although the cost of raw and auxiliary materials for moon cakes has increased, it has not yet reached the prescribed proportion, so the price remains basically unchanged this year.

  China Bakery and Sugar Products Industry Association pointed out in the report that it is expected that the sales price of mooncake retail market will be basically the same as last year, or increase slightly, despite the rising prices of some raw materials and labor costs this year.

  According to the report, when the mooncake industry continued to decline in 2013 and 2014, most enterprises optimized and adjusted their product structure, ensuring reasonable profits and making prices more reasonable and popular.

Little book-turning party: It turns out that the brain activity of "fruit powder" is similar to that of Christians.

The "Little Book-turning Party" is a sub-column of the "Book-turning Party" in The Paper: reading the knowledge in books in a well-documented way.

In the hit drama Ode to Joy, almost all the protagonists use Apple phones, except Qiu Yingying, who seems to have a replacement Android phone. We don’t know whether Apple also paid the advertising fee for this play, but it’s not surprising if there are a group of people around you who are using Apple phones, and everyone may encounter one or two "fruit fans" who are obsessed with Apple products and act as "free salesmen".

Martin Lindstrom of marketing guru said in his "brand brainwashing" that "fruit powder" is actually similar to Christians.

His exact words are as follows:

As we all know, no brand can become a cult-like, almost religious worship brand like Apple (in fact, in an experiment I did for my last book, when I studied the brains of Apple fans with functional magnetic resonance imaging, I found that their brain activities are similar to those of Christians), and peer pressure is the core of many Apple strategies. One of the strategies is "early recruitment", in other words, it is to sell it to children aged 13-17. This marketing activity is so effective that about 46% of the children of this age now own an iPod, and the product that children talk about most among themselves is the iPod, and a questionnaire survey shows that 82% of all high school students with portable music players use the iPod.

Once these children entered the university, Apple began to openly "recruit", hired college students to become "Apple campus representatives" and turned the whole university bookstore into a mini-Apple store. One job advertisement said, "This is a great opportunity to be an Apple spokesperson and have some fun." The job description includes hosting workshops, organizing activities, and establishing good relations with students, faculty and students’ parents. The most important thing is, "You will cooperate with the Apple team to implement marketing projects on campus, including promoting sales and raising the awareness of Apple products … We need a leader who can inspire peers and cooperate with student organizations."

This copy is very clever: who doesn’t want to think of himself as a leader, a trendsetter and a person who can inspire his peers? I would like to add that if you often go to the movies, you may think that people all over the world use Apple products-this is a victory that combines product implantation and peer pressure. In 2009, almost half of Hollywood movies-about 46%-featured Apple or Apple products. Although it is generally believed that this behavior does not involve money transactions, there is no better way to expose advertisements and brands.

Well-documented:

Martin thinks that Apple has obviously taken advantage of people’s psychology: it succumbs to some potential "peer pressure", that is, people want what others want. And the more obvious the needs of others are, the more we want what they have. According to Martin, this is what advertisers and marketers have known for a long time.

Black Friday and "11.11" snapping up may also take advantage of this psychology:

This fear of’ if someone else takes it, we will miss it’ drives fanatics to queue up at 4 am, just to get the latest iPad2 or a pair of UGG wool boots with rare colors, and this is why a bargain hunter was trampled to death outside Wal-Mart on Long Island on a black Friday a few years ago. If you bid for goods on eBay, you are likely to fall victim to this trap unconsciously. If there is only one product (for example, there is only one penguin tea set in the world), then the fear that’ others may easily get a set of mugs with orange beaks’ will drive people to raise the bid price exponentially-and pay a price far beyond the value of the product.

Martin thinks that the bestseller list also takes advantage of "peer pressure":

To know how much strangers’ preferences and purchases affect our decisions, just look at the leaderboard phenomenon. Imagine you walk into a large chain bookstore as big as a football field. Faced with a large number of choices, it is still quite risky to spend $27.99 on a novel or memoir that you later find hard to read. But wait, what’s on the independent shelf on your right? This week’s "Best-selling List of The New York Times", including fiction and non-fiction, has more than 20 books in total. Subconsciously, you think, "If so many people buy this book, it must be a good book", and then you think, "If so many people are reading this book, won’t it be out of date if I don’t read it?" Now, you not only avoid the pain of going through four floors and not knowing how to start, but also get the recognition of your peers who buy books. This is not a happy coincidence in the publishing industry. In fact, although publishers want you to believe the contents of the list, the main reason why the best-selling list existed at first was not only to track sales, but also to make us think that these books were "pre-approved"—in other words, if we didn’t read the books that everyone else was reading, we would be ill-educated, unable to keep up with the trend, and would be excluded from the national language theory.

Well-documented:

More interestingly, Martin found that even if consumers are "used", they still think that their buying behavior is rational:

Of course, we don’t always realize that the perceived popularity of goods affects our preferences. Recently, I asked 10 female fans in louis vuitton in a focus group: "Why do you like this brand so much?" Everyone mentioned the quality of zippers, leather and brand immortality. I am doubtful about that. So we scanned the brains of these 10 women with functional magnetic resonance imaging. Every time we show them pictures of louis vuitton products, the "Brodmann area 10" in the brain will be lit up, which will be activated when people see something they think is "cool". These women rationalize their buying behavior and tell themselves that they like this brand because of its high quality, but their brains know that they actually make choices because they are’ cool’. Even the brain can’t stand the fact that we are excluded, which seems to indicate that whether it is "hot" songs, "that" gifts or "trendy" designer handbags, what we finally buy has nothing to do with what we want, but more of what we think we should.

But the most interesting thing is that Martin found that even marketers themselves will fall into this trap:

For example, the planner of every advertising company I know (in most European advertising companies, this position is to do consumer research) has a beautiful Moleskine leather notebook. This was not sent when they joined the company; It has become an unwritten rule that every planner of an advertising company must own one and use it. If you don’t, it means that you are isolated and not an insider.

Book shadow:

If you can’t fight, you can’t talk: US sanctions can’t crush Iran, and the deadlock between the two sides is hard to solve before November.

Trump’s "olive branch" was categorically rejected by Iran.

Just before Iran recently held a routine annual military exercise in advance in the Persian Gulf, Trump, who recently sent Iran a "capital tweet" implying the use of force, unexpectedly said that he was ready to meet with Iranian leaders at any time without preconditions: "I am willing to meet, especially when I may face problems such as war, death and famine. There is nothing wrong with meeting. " "If they (Iran) want to, I am ready to meet them at any time." "There is no precondition. If they want to meet, I will. " Trump’s bizarre "olive branch" was not only categorically rejected by Iranian conservatives and moderates, but also failed to change Iran’s Persian Gulf military exercises as scheduled, and was criticized by the media at home and abroad.

Since Trump announced his withdrawal from the Iranian nuclear deal on May 8 this year, the diplomatic game and public criticism between the United States and Iran have never stopped. At present, the international community, especially international public opinion, is doubly concerned about whether the game between the United States and Iraq is developing in the direction of opening peace talks or evolving in the direction of opening war? Opening peace talks is undoubtedly big news, and opening war is even bigger news. This is undoubtedly another unpredictable suspense that Trump has created for the world. In my opinion, in the short term, there is no possibility for the United States and Iraq to start negotiations, let alone war. The two sides are still in the stage of diplomatic game and public opinion attack and defense between pressure and anti-pressure, sanctions and anti-sanctions.

Trump’s diplomatic "soap opera" was embarrassed.

Trump’s casual attitude is not serious, and it is naturally difficult to cause serious treatment and response from Iran. Trump’s loose talk shows that the United States and Iraq can hold unconditional negotiations, which is a manifestation of his capricious and consistent style. Just a few hours before Trump’s speech, US Secretary of State Pompeo also said that the United States and Iran would never hold unconditional talks, and Pompeo was nicknamed "the mouse in the maze" by the media.

Although Trump’s diplomacy is unpredictable, it has also formed a certain "diplomatic routine" on many crisis issues: first, it issued extreme threats, then changed its position, held talks, and finally announced its victory. The most typical case is Trump’s North Korean diplomacy. However, the Iranian nuclear issue is not only fundamentally different from the DPRK nuclear issue, but also Iran’s complicated bureaucratic system, especially the dual structure of conservative and reform forces, and the constraints of religious leaders on the president are very different from North Korea’s power structure, and the geopolitical environment in which the two hot issues are located is also very different. What’s more, the US-DPRK summit was realized under the pressure and communication of Trump for eight months after he took office.

Therefore, Trump’s loose talk about holding US-Iran talks was also accused by the media as a "diplomatic soap opera", and Iran, which has been engaged in diplomacy on the Iranian nuclear issue for 15 years since 2003, naturally will not make a positive response at will. The prospect that it is difficult for the United States and Iran to hold negotiations in the short term is just as Gerald Blank, an expert at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in the United States, said: "Iran’s domestic political structure is much more complicated than that in the northern part of the peninsula, and it is not interested in diplomacy with the United States, especially after Trump asked the United States to withdraw from the multinational agreement known as the Joint Comprehensive Action Plan." "At present, if anyone in the Iranian government tries to contact Trump, they are severely criticized by others."

The reaction made by Iran also proves this point. Motahari, deputy speaker of the Iranian parliament, pointed out: "After Trump made an arrogant talk to Iran, negotiation is impossible. This is an insult. " Iranian Interior Minister Fazley said: "The United States cannot be trusted. How can people trust after the United States is arrogant and unilaterally withdraws from the nuclear agreement? " Arribi, director of the Iranian project of the World Crisis Group, commented that "no Iranian leader will meet with the US president who has repeatedly threatened Iran, attacked the Iranian leadership and violated the nuclear agreement at this time."

"Old hatreds and new foes" make the United States and Iraq not qualified for negotiations.

In essence, Trump’s idea that the United States and Iran can negotiate unconditionally is more of a diplomatic strategy, which not only alleviates the international community’s widespread criticism that the United States unilaterally withdrew from the Iranian nuclear deal, but also shifts the responsibility for regional tensions to Iran. At the same time, it is also a strategy to aggravate Iran’s domestic contradictions and disrupt Iran’s domestic political ecology. However, its arbitrariness and hypocrisy can be described as obvious, and Iran, which has rich diplomatic experience, will naturally not take it.

Of course, the deeper root of the difficulty in holding negotiations between the United States and Iran lies in the serious distrust accumulated by the confrontation between the United States and Iran in the past 40 years since the Islamic Revolution in Iran in 1979. The contradictions between the two sides spread throughout the social system, ideology and practical interests. From the beginning of the Islamic Revolution when the United States broke off diplomatic relations with Iran to the hostage crisis, from the 1980s when the United States supported Iraq to confront Iran in the Iran-Iraq war to the Clinton administration’s containment policy, to the Bush administration’s characterization of Iran as an "axis of evil" and its long-term sanctions against Iraq, and now the Trump administration brazenly withdrew from the hard-won the Iranian nuclear deal and exerted extreme pressure on Iran, it can be said that the old hatred between the United States and Iraq has not been solved, and new hatred has been added.

Therefore, negotiations between the United States and Iran are not realistic at all, just as Mehmetali Jaafari, commander-in-chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, said: "Iranians will not allow government officials to meet with the Great Satan." of course,Contact between the United States and Iran through a third party is not excluded. Some analysts pointed out that Oman’s foreign minister visited Tehran and Washington one after another last month, which is likely to play an information communication role between the United States and Iran.After Rouhani came to power in 2013, it was Oman that brokered the bridge between Iran and the United States, which finally led to the resumption of US-Iran contacts and Iranian nuclear talks. According to reports, Trump had sent the message of holding bilateral talks to Iran eight times before. However, the United States kept pressing and shouting about the talks. In addition, the Iranian nuclear deal involved China, the European Union and Russia, which made Iran not easily hold bilateral talks with the United States, and even more afraid of falling into the diplomatic trap set by Trump.

Judging from the future trend, the possibility that the United States and Iran will return to negotiations will not be ruled out even if the United States exerts certain pressure on Iran and forces Iran to compromise in some areas of the 12 conditions put forward by the United States (such as Syria and other issues), but this will not happen overnight, and it is difficult for Iran to abandon other parties in the Iranian nuclear deal and negotiate with the United States alone.

The weight of war: the United States and Iraq can’t bear it.

From the perspective of the United States, although Trump has changed the Middle East policy during the Obama era since he took office, he has continued to exert his strength on the three hot issues of Syria, Palestine and Israel, but its essence is still to maximize the benefits with the minimum investment, and its core is to consolidate the alliance with Saudi Arabia and Israel and profit from it by shaping Iran into a regional core threat. However, Trump, who gives priority to the interests of the United States, revives the domestic economy and ensures the victory of the mid-term congressional elections, has no systematic plan to go to war with Iran rashly. This may be one of the specific reasons why Trump recently said that the United States and Iran can negotiate unconditionally. Its purpose is to cool down the situation in the Gulf region, which is becoming more tense in the context of Iran’s recent military exercises.

In essence, the United States should be well aware of the disastrous consequences of going to war with Iran. If it chooses a "preemptive" war to completely overthrow the Iranian regime, it will trigger regional turmoil and even a full-scale war, and will impact the international energy market and the whole world economy. If limited military strikes involving Israeli, Saudi and other allies are chosen, the United States will not be able to change the Iranian regime in a short period of time, and Iran will definitely choose to threaten to block the US military bases in the Strait of Hormuz and intensify the conflicts in Syria, Yemen and other regions in an all-round way, and the forces fostered by Iran in the Middle East will continue to create troubles. Iranian President Rouhani warned that the war between the United States and Iran would be "the mother of all wars", and this is the profound meaning. The strategic depth of Iran and the Persian nationality’s resistance to power will also be feared by the United States, and the lessons of the United States in Iraq and Afghanistan are just around the corner. Therefore, if Trump is still rational, it is unlikely that the United States will choose to launch a war against Iran.

Iran is facing more serious challenges. The contradiction between Iran’s conservatives and reformists has intensified after the United States restarted sanctions, and the people’s livelihood crisis aggravated by a large number of foreign capital fleeing, currency depreciation and soaring prices has made Rouhani face the phenomenon of "second term curse" of the president in Iranian politics (that is, both reformist and conservative presidents will hit a wall in their second term and end up in a bleak way, and hostile factions will come to power in the next presidential election) more serious, while the United States has become Rouhani’s "second term curse". At present, coping with economic difficulties internally and alleviating the economic crisis; Saving the Iranian nuclear deal from the outside world and easing the pressure of U.S. sanctions are the top priority of the Rouhani administration, which makes it not take the initiative to choose war at all. At present, although Iran has held a very high-profile military exercise, Iran will not easily take actions such as blocking the the Strait of Hormuz to aggravate tensions without a comprehensive or limited military strike by the United States.

Based on the above factors, in a certain period of time in the future, the United States and Iran will continue to struggle mainly in the fields of diplomacy, economy and public opinion, supplemented by mutual deterrence in the military field, and even the friction between the two sides in a third-party battlefield such as Syria will not be ruled out, but it is unlikely that the two sides will engage in direct local wars and total wars.

Of course, the United States will hope that Iran’s economic collapse and even regime collapse will be caused by extreme pressure, and Iran’s political and economic difficulties will naturally continue to intensify. However, Iran’s political toughness is much higher than that of Arab countries where regime changes have taken place before. The political system of the Islamic Republic, which combines religious centralization with democratic elections, a relatively complete bureaucratic system, the mutual restriction between the two forces of reform and conservatism, the absolute loyalty of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and the regime’s ability to resist pressure for a long time under war and sanctions, are all factors that enable the Iranian regime to maintain its resilience.

Therefore, before the end of the mid-term elections in the United States this year and the deadline set by the United States for the termination of trade relations with Iran (November 4), the relationship between the United States and Iran will remain in a stalemate, and its future development remains to be observed and evaluated.

How to properly handle the blank wall? What aspects should be paid attention to when dealing with blank walls?

In the process of house decoration, the treatment of blank wall is a key link, which directly affects the quality and effect of subsequent decoration. The following will introduce in detail the proper treatment method of blank wall and the aspects that need to be paid attention to in the treatment process.

First of all, a comprehensive inspection of the blank wall is the first step. It is necessary to carefully check whether there are cracks, hollowing and other problems on the wall. You can tap the wall with a small hammer and judge whether there is empty drum by sound. If cracks are found, small cracks can be treated with special crack repairing agent; For larger cracks, it is necessary to cut the cracks first and then fill them with cement mortar. If there is an empty drum, the empty drum part should be eradicated and repaired with cement mortar again.

Followed by the treatment of the wall base. This includes cleaning the dust, oil and other impurities on the wall. You can use brooms, vacuum cleaners and other tools to clean up and ensure that the walls are clean and tidy. After that, choose the appropriate treatment method according to the flatness of the wall. If the flatness of the wall is poor and the error exceeds 5mm, it is recommended to use gypsum to level the wall first. Gypsum has the advantages of fast solidification and strong adhesion, which can effectively improve the flatness of the wall. If the wall flatness is good and the error is within 5mm, you can directly blow putty.

Scraping putty is an important step in the treatment of blank wall. Generally, it is necessary to scrape the putty for 2-3 times, and the interval between each time is 1-2 days, so that the putty can be fully dried. Pay attention to the technique when scraping putty, try to keep it even and flat, and avoid sagging and bumps. After scraping the putty for the last time, use sandpaper to polish the wall to make it smoother and more delicate. Pay even attention when polishing to avoid polishing marks.

After completing the above steps, you can decorate the wall. Common wall decoration materials include latex paint and wallpaper. If you choose latex paint, you should first paint the wall with primer before painting. The primer can enhance the adhesion between the wall and the top coat, and at the same time, it can also play a role in moisture prevention and mildew prevention. Topcoat generally needs to be painted for 2-3 times, and a certain time should be separated between each time. If you choose wallpaper, you should first paint a layer of basement membrane on the wall to prevent the wallpaper from being damp and moldy.

In the process of dealing with the blank wall, we also need to pay attention to the following aspects. The temperature and humidity of the construction environment have great influence on the wall treatment effect. Generally speaking, the construction temperature should be between 5℃ and 35℃, and the relative humidity should be below 85%. If the ambient temperature is too low or the humidity is too high, it will affect the drying speed of putty and latex paint, leading to problems such as cracking and peeling on the wall. In addition, pay attention to safety during construction and wear protective equipment, such as masks and gloves. When using electric tools, we should operate in strict accordance with the operating rules to avoid safety accidents.

The following table compares the advantages and disadvantages of different wall treatment materials:

China’s rare and strange surname: "Death" is daunting.

 


  On April 13th, in front of the 14,000-square-meter surname square in the hometown of Huangdi in Xinzheng, Henan Province, the workers were doing the final polishing. It is reported that this surname wallIt is the first in China, and more than 3,000 surnames are carved on the walls of five surnames. China News Agency issued Li Zhiquan photo


    BEIJING: The Hong Kong newspaper published an article on China’s rare and strange surname today. The content is as follows.


    Surname is a very unique cultural phenomenon in China civilization. Behind every surname, there is a true story. Among many surnames, five surnames are both very rare and daunting.


    die


    It is said to be the penultimate "little surname". The "death" surname is mainly distributed in the northwest of China, which was developed from the four-character compound surname of ethnic minorities in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Both the East and the West are very shy about this kind of thing and are unwilling to open their mouths and shut up. However, with this as the surname, there is no way out, which is nothing more than an unlucky impression.


    difficult


    According to statistics, this is the penultimate surname of China. This is "difficult", read the sound. All the men, women and children who live in four small villages in Henan Province for generations are surnamed "Nan". This reminds the outside world of unpleasant things such as disasters and difficulties.


    It is said that the surname "Nan" moved northward with Xianbei, and the Songhua River was renamed "Nan Jiang" at that time. After several twists and turns, it was difficult for Xianbei people to set foot on the Korean peninsula.


    black


    Any culture advocates openness and darkness, and often has a bad feeling. As a surname, this word is pronounced "He". It’s just embarrassing to fall on paper.


    old


    As soon as you are born, you will be called "Lao …". If you don’t want to, you have to be called so. The word "Lao" will be with you all your life. Such as "old baby" and "old lady". There are two versions of this surname. As soon as it was said that it was changed from the Manchu surname of "Sakda" to the Han surname, the Manchu language of "Sakda" meant "old". Yi Shuo is one of the four indigenous surnames in Foshan, Guangdong.


    poison


    This surname, when called, sounds very scary. Who wants to deal with Mr. and Mrs. Poison? Even people with these surnames, no matter how warm-hearted they are, let strangers breed some fear. It is said that there was a poisonous family in Guogou, Taibao City, Chiayi County, Taiwan Province, whose ancestors were translators of the Qing Dynasty. After several generations of single biography, now, six men have been bred.

Apple may place an order with TSMC for more than $33 billion this year. 2nm is the key.

[CNMO Technology News] According to Taiwan Province’s "Economic Daily" quoted analysts, global consumer electronics giant Apple may purchase chip orders with a total amount of NT$ 1 trillion (about US$ 33 billion) from TSMC in 2025, which will become an important driving force for TSMC’s revenue growth. The analysis pointed out that this estimate is based on the background that TSMC’s share in Apple products continues to increase and its wafer fab in Arizona is about to play a key role.

Apple CEO Cook has repeatedly stressed that Apple is the biggest customer of TSMC’s Arizona plant. With TSMC’s continuous lead in advanced process, its upcoming 2 nm process is expected to be the main factor to increase Apple’s order amount.

The data shows that in TSMC’s revenue in the first quarter of 2025, the 3 nm process contributed 22%, a significant increase of 13 percentage points compared with 9% in the same period of 2024; However, the contribution of 5 nm and 7 nm processes decreased by 1 and 4 percentage points respectively. Analysts pointed out that the growth of 3 nm revenue is mainly due to Apple’s extensive use of this process for iPhone chips, and future 2 nm orders are expected to bring greater growth momentum.

According to reports, Apple’s purchase of chips from TSMC in 2024 was about NT$ 624 billion. If orders increase to 1 trillion yuan in 2025, it will mean an annual growth rate of 60%. However, analysts believe that the order amount in 2025 may fluctuate between 800 billion yuan and 1 trillion yuan, depending on the mass production progress of TSMC’s 2 nm process and the capacity climb of Arizona plant. If the median is 900 billion yuan, the annual growth rate will also reach 44%.

TSMC’s total revenue in 2024 was 90 billion US dollars. If Apple’s orders meet expectations, it will significantly increase Apple’s proportion in TSMC’s overall revenue and further consolidate its position as the largest customer.

At present, TSMC is facing fierce competition from Samsung and Intel in the field of advanced process. Among them, Intel plans to mass-produce the 18A process in 2025, trying to gain a share in the wafer foundry market. However, TSMC continues to be the most advanced wafer foundry in the world with its 2-nanometer process based on the new generation ring grid (GAA) architecture.

The Central Meteorological Observatory issued an orange warning for typhoon.

  CCTV News:The Central Meteorological Observatory issued an orange warning for typhoon at 10: 00 on August 30th. The center of Typhoon Sura (super typhoon) No.9 this year is located at 9: 00 am today (30th) on the sea surface about 580 kilometers south-east of Huilai, Guangdong Province, which is 20.2 degrees north latitude and 121.0 degrees east longitude. The maximum wind force near the center is above 17 (62m/s), and the minimum pressure at the center is 915 hectopascals.

  It is estimated that "Sura" will move to the northwest at a speed of 10-15 kilometers per hour, move into the northeastern South China Sea on the night of the 30th or the early morning of the 31st, and gradually approach the coastal areas from eastern Guangdong to southern Fujian. It may land on the above coastal areas during the day on September 1st (strong typhoon level or super typhoon level, 45-52m/s, 14-16), or it may move to the south-west direction in the coastal areas of eastern Guangdong.

  Gale forecast:From 14: 00 on August 30 to 14: 00 on August 31, there will be strong winds of 6-8 grades and gusts of 9-10 grades in bashi channel, Taiwan Province Strait, the sea south of the east of Taiwan Province, the northeastern South China Sea, the coastal areas of Fujian, the southern coast of Taiwan Province Island and the coastal areas of central and eastern Guangdong. Among them, the winds in bashi channel and the easterly waters of the northeastern South China Sea are 9-11 grades, and the winds in some sea areas can reach 12-13 grades.

  Precipitation forecast:From 14: 00 on August 30 to 14: 00 on August 31, there were heavy rains in parts of central and eastern Fujian, eastern and southern Taiwan Province Island, and local heavy rains (100-150 mm).

  Defense guide:

  1. The government and relevant departments shall, in accordance with their duties, do a good job in typhoon prevention and emergency rescue.

  2. Water operations and passing ships in relevant waters should return to Hong Kong to take shelter from the wind, strengthen port facilities, and prevent ships from anchoring, grounding and collision.

  3. Stop large-scale indoor and outdoor gatherings and dangerous outdoor operations such as high altitude.

  4. Reinforce or dismantle structures that are easy to be blown by the wind. Personnel should not go out at will. They should stay in windproof and safe places as far as possible, so as to ensure that the elderly and children stay in the safest place at home, and the dangerous people will be transferred in time. When the typhoon center passes by, the wind will decrease or stay still for a period of time. Remember that the strong wind will suddenly blow and you should continue to stay in a safe place to avoid the wind.

  5. Relevant areas should pay attention to prevent flash floods and geological disasters that may be caused by heavy precipitation.

Snow leopard and her friends won the honor of the Chinese documentary film conference


1905 movie network news On the evening of November 18th, the second Chinese documentary film conference "Golden Gull" was held in Zhuhai, Guangdong. Eight films stood out from the 32 entries and won nine honors. Before the closing ceremony, the conference also held the "Glory Avenue" ceremony, where many of the finalists first met the audience.

 

In the category of works, he won the special recommendation for the annual documentary film works; Get the recommended works of natural science; Get the recommended works of culture and history; "Just Run" won the recommended works of social documentary; Get the recommended works of international communication.

Seize the regulatory opportunity, and the EU’s "Artificial Intelligence Act" enters the final negotiations.

  □ Rule of Law Daily reporter Wang Wei

  According to a recent report by DPA, the plenary session of the European Parliament passed the draft authorization of the Artificial Intelligence Act with an overwhelming majority of 499 votes in favor, 28 votes against and 93 abstentions. This means that the bill enters the final negotiation stage of EU legislation to strictly supervise the application of artificial intelligence technology, and the European Parliament, the European Commission and member States will conduct "tripartite" negotiations to determine the final terms of the bill. The German "Business Daily" said that the "Artificial Intelligence Act" is expected to be finally approved by the end of this year, but it may take several years before it fully takes effect.

  Be prepared for negotiations

  According to the report, the European Parliament decided to add more security control measures to generative artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT to ensure that the research and development and application of artificial intelligence comply with relevant EU laws and regulations.

  As the world’s first comprehensive legislation aimed at artificial intelligence through parliamentary procedures, the draft has formulated detailed rules in terms of security, privacy, transparency and non-discrimination. According to the website of the European Parliament, the European Parliament "is ready for negotiations to formulate the first artificial intelligence bill in history". According to the legislative agenda, the European Parliament will hold "tripartite" negotiations with the European Commission and member States on this draft authorization, and European legislators hope to reach a consensus on the final version of the bill before the end of this year.

  In May this year, the Market Committee and the Civil Liberties Committee of the European Parliament passed the draft negotiating authorization for the proposal of the Artificial Intelligence Act put forward by the European Commission in April 2021. Previously, the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union had made several rounds of revisions and discussions on the draft, and after the emergence of generative artificial intelligence applications such as ChatGPT, EU legislators urgently discussed the issues not covered in the original draft. The European Parliament stated that this proposal, if formally approved, will become the first regulation on artificial intelligence in the world.

  The draft will apply to entities that put artificial intelligence systems on the market or put them into use in the EU (whether in the EU or in a third country), entities that use artificial intelligence systems in the EU and entities that use artificial intelligence systems in a third country, but the output of the systems is used in the EU or has an impact on people in the EU.

  Risk classification supervision

  A prominent feature of the draft authorization of the Artificial Intelligence Act is that it pays attention to formulating a supervision system based on risks, so as to balance the innovative development of artificial intelligence and safety norms. The draft divides the risk of artificial intelligence into four levels: unacceptable risk, high risk, limited risk and minimal risk, corresponding to different regulatory requirements. Among them, the use of high-risk artificial intelligence must be strictly regulated, and system providers and users must abide by the provisions of data management, record keeping, transparency and artificial supervision to ensure the stability, accuracy and safety of the system. For those who violate the regulations, the draft sets a fine of up to 30 million euros (1 euro is about 7.895 yuan) or 6% of the global annual turnover.

  The draft strictly prohibits artificial intelligence systems that pose unacceptable risks to human security, including systems that deploy subconscious or purposeful manipulation techniques, exploit people’s weaknesses or use them for social scoring, and expands the classification of high-risk areas of artificial intelligence to take into account the harm to people’s health, safety, basic rights or the environment. The draft also requires artificial intelligence companies to maintain artificial control over their algorithms, provide technical documents, establish a risk management system for "high-risk" applications, and set up a special supervision system for generative artificial intelligence such as ChatGPT. Each EU member state will set up a supervisory body.

  In addition, the regulatory sandbox (which means that enterprises are allowed to test innovative products, services and business models with real individual users and enterprise users in a real market environment by setting restrictive conditions and formulating risk management measures) mechanism is introduced to control risks and promote innovation, and the artificial intelligence system is developed, tested and verified to reduce risks before it enters the market or is put into use. The draft also proposes that this mechanism is also allowed to test innovative artificial intelligence under realistic conditions to encourage artificial intelligence enterprises to continue to innovate.

  Face important challenges

  The EU’s attempt to establish a unified legal supervision framework for artificial intelligence is an important symbolic example in the development of global artificial intelligence. The discussion and attempt of effective regulation on artificial intelligence in the EU will have a global impact, which may lead to more and more countries trying to follow up the exploration of relevant regulations.

  Regarding the decision of the European Parliament, the German Social Democratic Party expressed its support: "The potential and risks of artificial intelligence should be concerned by the whole society." However, some opponents worry that excessive supervision may bring higher costs and excessive burdens to European artificial intelligence companies.

  Companies that are in a leading position in the development of artificial intelligence are, to some extent, technology companies that have faced the risk of antitrust violations, violated existing laws and caused information leakage in the past decade. Based on this, Sam altman, CEO of OpenAI, said that he would lead his team to withdraw from the European market if the AI Act over-regulated AI.

  Experts say that the EU’s promotion of artificial intelligence legislation is conducive to maintaining the EU’s leading position in the fields of digital sovereignty and science and technology, and through such a comprehensive legislation, it will seize the opportunity of global artificial intelligence supervision. But it has its own limitations. It adopts horizontal legislation, not aiming at specific artificial intelligence application fields, but trying to bring all artificial intelligence into the scope of supervision, and will face a lot of interpretation problems at the implementation level.

  Some voices further pointed out that the EU has not reached a consensus on what impact artificial intelligence technology may bring to mankind. From a dialectical point of view, artificial intelligence can not only benefit and serve human beings, but also bring threats or injuries to human beings if it is not used properly. How to balance innovation and constraints is a very important challenge facing the EU legislature. In addition, the unified legal framework does not involve specific legal norms, and the actual implementation effect may be "greatly reduced".

  The international community believes that at present, the development of artificial intelligence technology is still in the exploration period. At this time, the EU enacted the "Artificial Intelligence Act", which released a strong signal that the EU is strengthening its regulations in the digital field. How to better balance and link technological innovation and institutional innovation needs to be constantly revised in practice.
