  Guangzhou, a dazzling array of choices

  Miriam Yeung "MY TREE OF LIVE" World Tour Guangzhou Station

  Time: May 27 and 28

  Venue: Guangzhou Haixin Sha Asian Games Park

  After a four-year absence, Miriam Yeung has once again embarked on a world tour. The theme of this "MY TREE OF LIVE" concert is trees: trees have a very tenacious vitality, and they will repair themselves and grow again after experiencing the wind; the annual rings witness the growth and history of trees, just like Miriam Yeung’s musical works, accompanying fans through a period of life journey, carrying precious memories and growth experience. At the tour press conference in Beijing, Miriam Yeung personally interpreted the theme of this concert. In her opinion, singing the same song at different ages is interpreting a different story. She invites the audience to enter her inner world and feel her understanding of life and love for music.

  It is reported that the tour will go to more than 50 cities around the world. Among them, the mainland cities include Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Zhuhai, Chongqing, Xiamen, Foshan and so on. The overseas tour will reach the United States, Canada, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and other places. So far, three cities have announced concert dates: the first stop is Guangzhou, which will hold two consecutive concerts on May 27 and 28; the second stop is Xiamen, which will be held on June 17; and the Shenzhen stop is July 22.

  Zhou Baihao "Sound Sand Together" FAN MEETING Guangzhou Station

  When: May 6th

  Venue: Guangzhou Gymnasium Hall 1

According to the organizers, this fan meeting will narrow the distance between the stage and the audience, allowing the audience to integrate into the performance.

  Wang Yuan’s "Living Room Carnival" Tour Guangzhou Station

  When: May 13

  Venue: Guangzhou Baoneng Guanzhi Cultural Center

  Wang Yuan’s first solo concert tour, "Living Room Carnival," kicked off in Shanghai on April 29 and 30 and will land in Guangzhou on May 13. The theme of this concert is "Living Room Carnival", which is the same name as Wang Yuan’s third album in 2022. He explained the meaning of "Living Room Carnival" in this way: As many people grow up, they lose the ability to communicate with the world, and the living room is an opportunity for one to reconnect with the world. Invite friends to chat and go to a friend’s house to watch a play, you will find a different perspective and hear a different story. He regards the stage as his living room: not only invite friends to be guests, invite music partners to co-create, but also invite listeners to listen to songs.

  As Wang Yuan’s first solo tour, the stage design of "Living Room Carnival" is quite thoughtful, with more varied Rubik’s Cube stage frames to encapsulate the whimsy of living room carnival. From the playlist of Shanghai Station, most of the songs are Wang Yuan’s original works, which can give a glimpse of Wang Yuan’s creative strength in recent years.

The playlist of this large-scale concert will be richer, and there will be mysterious assistant guests, which is worth looking forward to.

The last time Andy Lau and Wu Jing worked together was back in 2011. Talking about the feeling of working together again, Andy Lau said: "It is very special. I originally thought that my technology was better than him. I didn’t expect to watch it and feel that in addition to martial arts, this area can’t beat you [Wu Jing]."


Andy Lau also said that filming "The Wandering Earth 2" seems to have returned to the early 1980s, feeling that everything is very novel, and every time he finishes filming, he will watch the replay, looking forward to the final effect.


The actor said that when he first read the script, he did not fight, but later Wu Jing gave himself a lot of action scenes, and eventually became "brothers" with Wu Jing in the film.


The director revealed that this time not only the special effects were upgraded, but also the American shooting scene could be controlled in real time through network technology, "just like the scene".


The girl in Yueqing was killed by hitchhiking, and the suspect Zhong was complained that Didi had not been dealt with the day before the incident.

  CCTV News:At about 1:30 p.m. on the 24th, the girl Zhao lost contact when she took Didi Hitch to Yongjia County in Hongqiao Town, Yueqing City, Zhejiang Province. After an emergency investigation by the police, at 4 a.m. on the 25th, the alleged offender and Didi Hitch driver Zhong was arrested in Liushi Town, Yueqing City. At 7:00, the body of the murdered Zhao was found.

  Previously, there was a case of Didi Hitch driver killing a flight attendant in Zhengzhou, which has just passed three months. After preliminary investigation, the alleged offender Zhong has confessed to the crime of murder and rape. Prosecutors have intervened in the case in advance.

  At around 13:30 on August 24, Zhao lost contact after riding a Didi ride in Hongqiao Town, Yueqing City. Her friend said that at around 2:10 pm that day, she received Zhao’s WeChat saying that "there is no car on the mountain road driven by the driver, and I am a little scared." At around 2:15 pm, another friend received her WeChat saying "help, rescue", and then Zhao’s mobile phone was turned off.

  Zhao’s friend"She handed it out at 2:09 pm on the 24th and said that the baby is afraid. The mountain road driven by this master does not have a single car. At that time, I was busy with my mobile phone and did not look at it. At 2:27, I quickly initiated location sharing, but she never came in.

  Relatives and friends police contacted Didi, but they did not receive a timely reply.

  After receiving Zhao’s WeChat, her two friends began contacting the Didi platform to find Zhao.

  reporter"After losing contact, you contacted the Didi platform. Do you remember what time it was?"

  Zhao Moumou’s friend"Around 3:00 pm, I asked my friend to make this call. Didi said to reply to us within an hour and help us contact the owner ASAP."

  reporter"Did the Didi platform reply to your message after that?"

  Zhao Moumou’s friend"No, I rushed to the police station after my friend finished calling."

  After Zhao’s family couldn’t get in touch with her, they also began contacting the Didi platform and calling the police.

  Zhao’s uncle, Mr. Zhao"We also got in touch with Didi. At the beginning, Didi replied that it would take 4 hours to lose contact or provide vehicle information after there was a problem. The first time we contacted Didi was to check the vehicle information. We went to look for it along the way but didn’t get the relevant information. We went to report the case at 4:40-50 pm."

  The Shangtang police station in Yongjia County immediately launched an investigation after receiving a report from Zhao’s friend and family members. During the period, the police communicated with the Didi platform through the friend’s mobile phone, asking for specific information of the driver, including phone number and license plate. At the same time, the local rescue team also began to search and rescue along the route of Zhao’s car.

  The alleged offender was arrested and confessed the facts of the crime

  On Aug. 25, at 2:12 a.m., a friend of Zhao posted a missing person message on Sina Weibo. At 4 a.m., the police arrested Zhong, the alleged offender and driver of Didi Hitch, in Liushi Town, Yueqing City. After preliminary investigation, Zhong confessed to the crime of raping and killing Zhao. According to the location of the alleged offender’s account, the search and rescue team found the missing Zhao.

  reporter"What time did you find it today?"

  Liu Xiaoguang, Captain of Yueqing Longzhiye Rescue Team: "The victim found at 7 o’clock has no breath. Her left hand is injured with blood, and the nails of her left hand are full of blood. Her legs are tied."

  Prosecutors have intervened in the case in advance

  At present, the specific details of the case are being further investigated, and the Yueqing City Procuratorate has assigned prosecutors to intervene in the case in advance. After understanding the case and the relevant evidence collection, the prosecutors put forward suggestions for the public security organs to further increase the collection of objective evidence.

  The license plate was temporarily forged by Zhong at the time of the incident

  After the incident, Didi issued an apology statement, but there are two points that attract attention. First, Didi claimed that the background check of Zhong, the alleged offender, had no criminal record and used a real ID card and driving license, but the license plate number at the time of the incident was temporarily forged by Zhong offline. Second, Zhong had been complained by Hitch passengers the day before the incident, and the Didi platform promised to reply within two hours, but the promise was not fulfilled.

The big names in the air-conditioning industry gathered together to explore how to fight the air-conditioning "value upgrade war"

  Southern Network News (Reporter/Tang Qiaoyan)8month24"Wind-free Aerobic", directed by the China Household Appliances Association and sponsored by China Home Appliances NetworkTANOrigin traceability –2022-2023China Air Conditioning Industry Summit Forum "was held, with representatives of mainstream household air conditioning brands and core component manufacturers, as well as the forum’s exclusive channel partner JD.com home appliances and data support agenciesGfKZhongyikang and others gathered together to discuss the innovative development and mission of the air-conditioning industry under the "double carbon" goal.

  High temperature "heating"Air Conditioning Market

  In the "roasting" mode, refrigeration appliances represented by air conditioners ushered in a high-temperature "hot period" in July and August. According toGfKZhongyikang monitoring data,7The monthly retail sales and retail sales of air conditioners in the online market increased year-on-year respectively41.6%,44.6%, enter8In the past two weeks, the retail volume and retail sales of the air conditioner online market increased year-on-year respectively76.0%,79.4%The offline market volume and scale have also exceeded20%The year-on-year growth.

  However, the stellar performance of the air-conditioning market is similar to that of the first half of the year and even the whole2022The cold years in the industry have formed a clear contrast. FromGfKAccording to Zhongyikang data, in the first half of this year, the retail volume and retail sales of the household air conditioner market declined year-on-year, respectively20.1%and14.1%The entire2022In the cold year, the retail volume and retail sales of the air conditioner market were4357Ten thousand units.1505Billion yuan, down year-on-year respectively15.0%,9.2%"The economic downturn and the epidemic directly affect the income level of consumers, so the consumer confidence index fell year-on-year", inGfKPeng Xiandong, General Manager of Zhongyikang Home Appliances DivisionIt seems that consumers’ expectations for the home appliance market and the implementation of purchasing power have decreased, and the corresponding air conditioner has also been affected by a significant decline. In addition, air conditioners have further entered the stock market, and there is less new demand. Based on this, Peng Xiandong judges that the air conditioner industry will enter a low-speed era in the next two years, with incremental scarcity, and the market core will shift from the pursuit of scale to the pursuit of quality.

Peng Xiandong, General Manager of GfK Zhongyikang Home Appliances Division

  for2022The scale of China’s household air conditioner market has declined beyond expectations in the cold year. Wang Lei, secretary general of the China Household Appliances Association, also believes that this is the result of multiple factors. Including the repeated regional epidemics across the country in the first half of the year, which put pressure on the industrial supply chain and also had a negative impact on the demand for air conditioners. In addition, the sluggish real estate is also a factor strongly related to the demand for air conditioners. Moreover, the more important objective factor is that the popularity of household air conditioners has basically reached a high level. According to the National Bureau of Statistics,2020At the end of the year, the number of air conditioners owned by 100 households in the country reached117.7Taiwan, of which 100 households in cities and towns own149.6Taiwan. "At present, the social ownership of air conditioners in the country has reached5.4Million units, the stock update has become the main body of current and future market consumption demand, which has a direct and long-term impact on the size of the air conditioner market. "

Wang Lei, Secretary General of China Household Appliances Association

  Seeking "new" kinetic energy under the stock

  When the industry enters a new development stage dominated by "stock replacement", the external operating environment, as analyzed by Wei Lai, Chief Research Officer of Zijin Tianfeng Futures, accounts for the cost of air conditioning85%The above raw material prices are breaking away from the traditional cyclical framework and reshaping into a new cycle, corresponding to the reshaping of the cyclical characteristics of air conditioners at both ends of the cost and consumption. Under the new cyclical characteristics, the market prospects for air conditioners are still broad, but new growth drivers need to be sought inward.

Zijin Tianfeng Futures Chief Research Officer Wei Lai

  JD.com platform data shows that in the first half of the year, the turnover of JD.com platform fresh air conditioners was the same period last year5.5Times, while the fresh air conditioner also showed a higher than the overall market32%The characteristics of; "618 "During the period, the turnover of fresh air conditioners on the JD.com platform increased year-on-year460%; JD.com Home Appliances "815 "Anniversary high tide28Hours, the turnover of fresh air conditioners increased by more than4Double. "JD.com platform always takes consumer demand as the first starting point," said Zhang Yiming, marketing director of JD.com’s home appliance air conditioner business department. Through active market research, JD.com home appliances and various air conditioner brands work closely together, with the same perspective. They all believe that fresh air conditioners in new products may be the next growth point in the industry. "Combined with the trend of purification and health, the increase in fresh air volume will be more suitable for the needs of life scenes."

Zhang Yiming, Head of Marketing, Home Appliance Air Conditioning Business Department, JD.com

  At the enterprise level, it can be seen that more air-conditioning companies are also launching products with corresponding functions or even composite functions through technological innovation to meet the diverse, personalized and quality consumption needs of consumers. At the meeting,Yan Bo, General Manager of Casarte Air ConditioningDue to the different air pain points faced by different climates and seasons, Casarte innovatively launched the luxury version of Yunding Air Conditioning, "This product is positioned as an’original ecological air maintenance expert ‘, hoping to achieve the maintenance of people, the maintenance of the environment, and the maintenance of high-end lifestyles through air conditioning. As a whole, what we want to do is to pass on the high-end, comfort and wisdom of Casarte Air Conditioning to consumers."

  "Dual Carbon "Engine Drives Green and High-Quality Development

  The green and low-carbon development of the air-conditioning industry still faces no small challenges. "For the refrigeration and air-conditioning industry, under the trend of’dual carbon ‘, the biggest challenge isHFCsThe reduction of conventional refrigerants may lead to corresponding quota issues, which may directly affect the operation of an enterprise.

In addition, materials, production, transportation, storage and other links will also directly or indirectly lead to carbon emissions, so air-conditioning related enterprises also pay attention to the carbon emission reduction of the whole life cycle of air-conditioning products.

Li Tingxun, Associate Professor of Sun Yat-sen University

  "Compared with other manufacturing industries, I personally think the energy saving and carbon reduction of the home appliance industry has advantages. "Xie Nanan, director of the environmental and dual-carbon business department of the General Technology Inspection and Testing Group, analyzed that the reason is that the home appliance industry has implemented the trade-in policy more fully, and the improvement of energy efficiency of home appliances is to reduce energy consumption from the source. In addition, the intelligence of home appliance products is a system improvement, which is considered from an overall perspective. In addition, there is more room for expansion in the green and low-carbon transformation of the home appliance industry, such as the control role of the supply chain, energy consumption in the production process, energy structure adjustment, andHFCsThe emission reduction of non-carbon dioxide greenhouse gases such as refrigerants is worthy of attention and active promotion by home appliance companies such as air conditioners.

Taxis banned during the day on the road in front of the Shijiazhuang Municipal Party Committee cause controversy


The picture shows the "no traffic" sign for taxis located on the busy road section of the city. Photo by our reporter Cao Tianjian


  "I really can’t figure it out. In such a busy road section, which is close to the main road of the city, taxis are not allowed to pass. What is the basis for the relevant departments to make this regulation?"


  On February 25, Mr. Xie, who was out of town in Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province, told reporters about his "experience": he took a taxi from the train station to a unit on Qingyuan Street in the city. When the car reached an intersection less than one kilometer away from his destination, the taxi driver pulled over. He was told that the street where the unit he was going was closed to taxis, and that to reach his destination by car, he had to bypass multiple traffic lights. Helplessly, he had to carry a large bag and a small bag through the streets of Ma Long, the traffic water.


  Xie later learned that because the city’s municipal party committee was on this street, the relevant departments stipulated that taxis were prohibited from passing in front of the municipal party committee from 7 am to 8 pm.


  To "verify" Mr. Xie’s claim, the reporter immediately took a taxi to the prohibited section of the road – the intersection of Zhongshan Road and Qingyuan Street. Sure enough, on the traffic sign pole on the north side of the intersection, the sign that taxis are prohibited from 7 am to 8 pm was in sight.


  The common people question whether the establishment of "forbidden roads" is justified by law


  According to the reporter, in this section of the north-south length of about seven or eight hundred meters of the taxi prohibited road, in addition to a number of government agencies and units, there are thousands of residents living adjacent to the municipal government office building.


  In fact, local citizens and taxi operators have long expressed dissatisfaction with the establishment of "forbidden roads" for taxis in the prosperous areas of the urban area, and some people have even raised the issue that the establishment of "forbidden roads" on the road sections that citizens must travel through every day is undoubtedly a public matter closely related to people’s lives. Have the relevant government departments listened to the opinions of the citizens and considered the public interest when making this decision? Is it legal to set up "forbidden roads", and what procedures have been passed?


  Mr. Zhou of Shijiazhuang Yintai Taxi Company has his own views on the issue of setting up "forbidden roads". He believes that since the owner or driver has the qualification to operate or drive a taxi and pays the corresponding fees to the relevant management department, he has obtained the right to drive on the road according to law. Unless temporary traffic control is implemented due to special circumstances such as important activities, his "right of way" should not be unreasonably restricted.


  According to the relevant regulations, the administrative authority with the power to set up the "no-go" sign should be the public security traffic management department. An unnamed police officer of the city’s public security traffic management bureau made it clear to reporters that the "no-go" road section had been set up for several years and was set up according to a notice from the municipal public security bureau at that time.


  The police officer was not shy about whether the reporter’s suggestion of a "no-go" on this section of the road was as reflected by the public, which was more concerned with the location of the municipal party committee. He said that "there must be this factor".


  The reporter checked the relevant information and showed that in the "Notice on Strengthening Urban Road Traffic Management" issued by the Municipal Public Security Bureau and implemented on June 10, 2005, there are indeed regulations prohibiting taxis from passing through Qingyuan Street (Zhongshan Road to Tan Nan Road). However, on January 17, 2008, the "Interim Measures for the Administration of Urban Road Traffic Order in Shijiazhuang City" issued by the General Office of the Municipal People’s Government (Shi Zheng Ban Fa [2008] No. 9), there are no relevant regulations on the prohibition of taxis.


  Academic Voice: Not only infringement, but also restriction of public resources


  Regarding the issue of "banning" taxis in front of the municipal party committee, Li Zhenkai, a professor at the Department of Law and Economics of Hebei Youth Management Cadre College, believes that unless in special circumstances, the relevant administrative departments need to take temporary traffic control measures to ensure the smooth flow of roads, there is no legal provision prohibiting vehicles that meet the operating conditions or meet the corresponding specifications from driving on public roads. First, there is no legal basis for restricting taxis from passing on a certain road, which is an infringement of the personal management rights of taxi operators. Second, the taxi industry uses road resources for survival, and the use of administrative power to "prohibit" taxis from passing through obviously restricts the use of public resources. Third, from the perspective of citizens, which road to take in a taxi and when to go are the rights of citizens. Setting a "ban" on taxis, forcing passengers to detour, thereby increasing unnecessary expenses, is a waste for citizens, and the government does not compensate accordingly, which is a violation of citizens’ rights. At the same time, setting a "ban" on taxis is also unfair to citizens who need to go to the municipal party committee and other departments on the "forbidden road" to handle various matters, but they do not have a car and have no access to official vehicles.


  Li Zhenkai said that the main feature of the market economy is to require the rational allocation and fair distribution of resources, and to use administrative power to artificially "cut off a piece" of public resources, which obviously deprives the rights of the counterparts of administrative actions.

Six departments interviewed eight online car-hailing platforms, and the number of rides per day will be limited

  Beijing Evening News (Reporter Sun Hongyang) Yesterday, the Ministry of Transport, the Central Network Information Office, MIIT, the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Emergency Management, and the General Administration of Market Supervision jointly interviewed eight online ride-hailing platform companies, including Didi Chuxing, Shouqi Car-hailing, Shenzhou Youche, Cao Cao Chuxing, Meituan Chuxing, Autonavi, Didi Chuxing, and Hello Chuxing.

  Since the second half of this year, there have been many new situations and new problems in the development of online car-hailing and ride-hailing markets, involving various aspects such as industry safety and stability, which have attracted widespread attention from all walks of life. Cai Tuanjie, deputy director of the Department of Transportation Services of the Ministry of Transport, said that this is a reminder interview, which aims to listen to the opinions and suggestions of platform companies, and remind and supervise the safety production and maintenance of stability of various enterprises to better meet the needs of the masses for travel.

  The interview pointed out that if Hitch is really a "tailwind", the platform companies engaged in Hitch must strictly abide by the relevant regulations on Hitch management. The relevant platform companies must strictly adhere to the safety bottom line, do a good job in the review and dynamic monitoring of the technical performance of the online vehicle and the driver’s background, protect the user’s personal privacy, and ensure safety from the source; to establish and improve the passenger’s rapid response processing mechanism, timely and effective handling of emergencies, especially involving safety emergencies, the platform company shall bear the responsibility of first compensation for safety accidents; to comply with the nature of the ride, it must be based on the driver’s own travel needs, and the travel information must be released in advance. The ride-sharing vehicle is selected by the same fit passengers with the same travel route. The ride-sharing behavior must not be for profit, but only share part of the travel cost with the passengers or assist each other for free. It is strictly forbidden to engage in illegal operations in the name of ride-sharing, and there must be a certain limit on the number of rides per car per day, which is

  The interview also proposed to further accelerate the pace of online car-hailing compliance. All online car-hailing platform companies should take the initiative to cooperate with local management departments, organize qualified drivers and vehicles to apply for online car-hailing licenses as soon as possible in accordance with relevant regulations, strictly implement the relevant requirements of background verification, remove unqualified personnel and vehicles, and strictly prohibit the distribution of orders to vehicles and drivers without business qualifications. Operate in accordance with laws and regulations to ensure the safety and legitimate rights and interests of passengers.

  In addition, some aggregation platforms have recently encountered new problems such as access to non-compliant online car-hailing platform companies, vehicles and drivers, engaging in illegal online car-hailing operations in the name of "aggregation". Aggregation platforms should strengthen the review and verification of the business qualifications of connected online car-hailing platform companies, and urge online car-hailing platforms to strictly check the qualifications of vehicles and drivers, and jointly assume the responsibility of safety protection and the responsibility of solving passenger complaints.

  All platform companies should immediately investigate their own hidden problems such as "rental purchasing" and infringement of driver rights and interests, and protect the legitimate rights and interests of drivers.

  The interview also put forward relevant requirements for each platform company on cyber security, personal information protection, road traffic safety management, public safety risk prevention, online car-hailing price behavior and market competition behavior.

Rewriting our understanding of the early formation history of the Milky Way, scientists obtain the most accurate large sample of star age information to date

On March 24, Beijing time, the international scientific journal Nature published a major achievement in the form of a cover article by researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy in Germany in collaboration with Dr. Maosheng and Professor Hans-Walter Rix. Based onGuo Shoujing Telescope, a major national scientific and technological infrastructure operated by the National Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences(LAMOST) andESA Astrometry Satellite Gaia Telescope(Gaia) sky survey data, researchers have obtained the most accurate large sample of stellar age information to date, clearly reconstructing the formation and evolution of the Milky Way during its infancy and adolescence according to the time series, rewriting people’s understanding of the early formation history of the Milky Way.

The age of a star is one of the most difficult physical quantities to accurately measure in astronomy.

The beautiful and vast Milky Way in the night sky has aroused countless imagination and endless exploration since ancient times. Our Milky Way is an ordinary disk galaxy in countless cosmic islands. Like other similar galaxies, it has integrated hundreds of billions of stars over the past ten billion years. These stars are mainly distributed in the Milky Way’s halo and silver disk, which in turn includes a geometrically relatively thick disk and a relatively thin and more extended disk. However, when did the Milky Way’s halo and Milky Way disk form, and how did they assemble and evolve into today’s colorful galaxy?It has always been a scientific mystery that astronomers urgently need to solve.It is also the main scientific goal of a large-scale astronomical survey program for multiple ground and space telescopes around the world.

LAMOST publishes tens of millions of star spectra, becoming the cornerstone of the digital galaxy. The Gaia satellite launched by ESA provides maps of the positions and movements of 1.40 billion stars. This perfect combination provides astronomers with a unique advantage in tracing the integration and evolution history of the Milky Way. To Dr. Maosheng and Professor Rix based on LAMOST and Gaia data,High-quality data samples containing 250,000 subgiant stars were constructed and their precise ages were obtained.The age of a star is the most difficult physical quantity to accurately determine, and it can also be said to be one of the most difficult physical quantities to accurately measure in the field of astronomy.

Thanks to the LAMOST Milky Way Survey and other international sky surveys, obtaining the ages of large samples of stars has become a reality in the past few years. However, the typical age error of large samples of stars obtained by previous studies is 20% or more, and the star samples that achieve 10% age determination accuracy are very small, and the space and parameter range of the samples are also very limited. Using the LAMOST spectroscopic big data, the atmospheric parameters of 7 million stars were accurately determined in the Lush, and combined with the Gaia data, high-precision stellar luminosity and orbital kinematics parameters were obtained. 250,000 subgiant stars were selected from these 7 million stars, and their precise ages were determined.The average age accuracy of the sample is 7%.The metal element abundance coverage ranges from -2.5 (one-300th of the metal content of the sun) to 0.5 (three times the metal content of the sun), with a space coverage of 30,000 light-years. This is the first time that such a large sample of stars has been obtained within such a vast space and stellar metal abundance range of the Milky Way. It has successfully broken through the limitations of data and taken a landmark step for the study of the history of the formation and evolution of the Milky Way.

[The first "clear picture" of the history of the formation of the Milky Way]

Based on their motional characteristics and chemical DNA (elemental abundance), they divided 250,000 stars into two groups: those characterized by the formation of the Milky Way’s extended thin disk during a relatively dynamically quiet process, and those characterized by the formation of the Milky Way’s halo and thick disk during a dynamically violent turbulent process. The research team found that the ages of these two groups of stars, bounded by about 8 billion years, were equally clearly divided into two distinct groups. That is, in terms of time, the integration and evolution history of the Milky Way is divided into two well-defined stages, the early stage from 13 billion years ago to 8 billion years ago and the late stage from 8 billion years ago to the present. The early stage formed the Milky Way’s thick disk and halo, and the late stage formed the Milky Way’s thin disk.

The ultra-high temporal resolution allowed the research team to obtain a clear picture of the early integration and augmentation of the Milky Way: stars in the Milky Way’s thick disk have been forming since 13 billion years ago, just 800 million years after the Big Bang (corresponding to a cosmological redshift of 7). The oldest thick disk stars are even about 1 billion-2 billion years older than the stars in the Milky Way’s inner halo. The inner halo structure of the Milky Way is thought to be mainly caused by the collision of the Hundred-Handed Giant Enceladus Dwarf Galaxy (GSE) into the Milky Way and were accreted and formed in time. That is,The early thick disk formed 1 billion-2 billion years before the main stellar halo structure we see today, refreshing conventional knowledge of the galaxy’s early formation history.

After further investigation, Xiang Maosheng et al. also found that although the formation of the thick disk lasted for about 5 billion years from 13 billion years ago to 8 billion years ago, the metal content increased by 30 times. However, although the cycle lasted for 5 billion years, most of the thick disk stars formed in a concentrated explosion about 11 billion years ago. At the same time, they found that the merger of the dwarf galaxy GSE and the early Milky Way occurred about 11 billion years ago, which is 1 billion years earlier than previously thought. The two ages are highly consistent, which the research team believes is no accident, but strongly suggests that the star formation activity of the thick disk was significantly stimulated by the GSE impact event.

The gas that formed the thick disk stars was exhausted about 8 billion years ago, and the formation of the thick disk stopped. Around the same time, new gas began to gather from around the Milky Way into a thinner disk to form the Milky Way’s thin disk stars. The thin disk formation process continues to this day. At this point, a precise image of the formation and evolution of the early Milky Way on a timeline is presented, Nature journalThe reviewers’ evaluation of this result is the first to provide such a clear picture of the history of the galaxy’s formation.The Milky Way, as a representative of ordinary galaxies, is a key laboratory for our study of the formation and evolution of ordinary galaxies in the universe, which can help astronomers trace the fascinating stories that have taken place from the very early universe to today.

Poor cooling in high temperature days? CCTV’s "Top Laboratory" looks at Haier’s air conditioning cooling and heating strength

  On August 12, Haier’s air-conditioning extreme refrigeration experiment was featured on the CCTV news series "Top Laboratory". Under the surface high temperature of 77 ° C in Turpan Flaming Mountain, Haier’s air-conditioning cool-core bridge technology achieved continuous and stable cooling operation at 16 ° C. In addition, in the extreme low temperature heating experiment, Haier’s air-conditioning variable shunt technology implementation 24 ° C comfortable temperature efficient heating, fully demonstrating the cooling and heating strength of China’s air-conditioning hard core technology.

  Stop when there is a high temperature? Cool Core Bridge Technology is not afraid of the surface temperature of 77 ° C

  In the program, Haier Air Conditioning R & D Center engineer Wang Yibing introduced the original intention of building an air conditioner high-temperature refrigeration laboratory in Flaming Mountain: Haier Air Conditioning noticed that users pay the most attention to the cooling effect of air conditioners in summer, so Haier Air Conditioning conducted experiments in a 77 ° C surface high-temperature extreme environment, amplified the high-temperature cooling function, and added two variables of low-temperature ink and anhydrous acetic acid, allowing users to intuitively feel the cooling effect of Haier Air Conditioning.

  Under the recording of the CCTV lens, the low-temperature ink changed color in a short time, the anhydrous acetic acid liquid maintained a crystalline state, and the Haier air conditioner continued to operate smoothly at 16 ° C under extreme high temperature. The experiment was successful.

50a90822-0cc4-4738-8561-70ebe61747e0 jpg

  In fact, this is the world’s first cooling bridge technology of Haier Air Conditioning. As we all know, poor heat dissipation of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner at high temperature will lead to the deterioration of the cooling effect of the air conditioner. And the cooling bridge technology is a cooling system that can make the air conditioner absorb and transfer heat efficiently under high temperature conditions. Applying it to the control board of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner is "equivalent to adding a small air conditioner to the outdoor unit of the air conditioner", so that it can cool strongly even in the face of extreme heat.

  Heat production increased by 10%! China’s air conditioner disruptive technology comes out

  In the Flaming Mountain, the outdoor heat wave is surging, and the interior is cool and comfortable. With a turn of the camera, "Top Laboratory" came to the first human thermal comfort research center in Qingdao. In the blizzard simulation laboratory here, whether Haier air conditioners can operate stably and efficiently heat at an extreme low temperature of -20 ° C is also the focus of CCTV’s attention.

  At the beginning of the experiment, the heating of the air conditioner started normally, and the temperature of the room reached a comfortable temperature of 24 ° C in a short period of time. Li Yang, an engineer at Haier Air Conditioning R & D Center, introduced that in order to solve user requests, Haier Air Conditioning independently developed variable shunt technology, which overturned the traditional refrigeration system design. The flexible and variable refrigerant flow path effectively improved the cooling and heating efficiency of the air conditioner, the cooling capacity increased by 8%, and the heating capacity increased by 10%. At the same time, it achieved energy saving and power saving. 1 year of power saving is equivalent to planting 20 trees, bringing users a new experience of low energy consumption, high cooling capacity and high heat generation.

  Under the lens of CCTV, two extreme experiments have shown people Haier Air Conditioning’s dedication to users, but behind it is also the hard-core technological strength of China Air Conditioning. In the future, Haier Air Conditioning will continue to give full play to its scientific and technological strengths, promote the development of China’s home appliances with technological innovation, and provide more users with a more extreme air experience.

New opportunities in the food and beverage industry are attracting investment from a higher starting point

  For all walks of life, 2022 is a cold winter, and the macro situation is constantly changing. This uncertainty also stirs people’s lives, making brands and consumers face unpredictable changes. After going through the extraordinary 2022, in the new 2023, "recovery and growth" will become the key words that consumer brands hope to seize. The prospects of the food and beverage industry are also gradually repairing, and new consumption trends will emerge. In recent years, the high-profile soda brand Dayao is moving closer. It continues to attract investment with outstanding strength, injecting full confidence into distribution agents.

  Win-win logic: Sincere investment promotion, Wang fried the beginning

  When time-honored brands and new forces compete together, the domestic soda market is surging and bustling, bringing more opportunities to dealers. At the same time, how to choose the right products and choose the right products in the dazzling soda market has also become an important problem that dealers must solve. The popularity of the "big soda" category is a recognized trend, and the mainstream position of the big kiln in the "big soda" has been confirmed by the market. The sales are fast, the sales volume is high, and the profits are rising. Naturally, it has become the "Nugget Code" that brands and dealers follow.

  For the creation of the distribution market, Dayao always adheres to "win-win situation for manufacturers and wealth sharing", and seriously considers the interests of dealers. For dealers who really want to join, Dayao adopts a "four-dimensional evaluation system", that is, the ability base, soft factors, industry status, and cooperation willingness are comprehensively selected in four dimensions, and a 3-month cooperation trial is also carried out to reduce risks for dealers. For dealers who have reached a cooperation, Dayao has carried out 1v1 face-to-face auxiliary management and other methods to set up a variety of agency policies and profit guarantees for dealers, such as material support, brand promotion support, award promotion, etc., to provide dealers with 360-degree all-round and no dead ends services, helping dealers quickly open the beverage market and achieve a win-win situation.

  Value Return: Prudent Consumption, Convenience is King

  Of course, the prerequisite for investment promotion is the outstanding brand and products, which can create greater profits or value for dealers. Otherwise, no matter how friendly the policy is, it will be in vain.

  In the past year, the downturn in the economic environment has brought inflation, rising living costs and stagnant wages. Coupled with brands seeking new breakthroughs through raw material mining and technology development, products on the market have to raise prices to obtain cost benefits. Mintel 2023 global consumer insights data also shows that in China, compared with the beginning of 2022, the proportion of consumers who say they are "very confident" about their economic situation has continued to decline, from 36% in February to 24% in November.

  Although consumer attitudes are more cautious, the public’s emphasis on daily nutrition is increasing, and time-saving, labor-saving, and delicious products are more popular. For example, in the process of eating, perhaps large bottles of soda can meet the needs of customers and achieve the pleasure of drinking. In order to allow more consumers to enjoy the refreshing atmosphere and joyous experience of this kind of drinking, the big kiln has launched a 520ml large-capacity glass bottle, which is very suitable for daily drinking, but the price is almost the same as that of many brands in 240ml glass bottles, which has given the big kiln’s products a price advantage and won the favor of consumers. Big kiln drinks appear in almost every large and small restaurant in the country.

  Personalized customization: fit the audience, trend first

  With the continuous iteration and upgrading of consumer demand, new consumer groups continue to grow, and diverse and personalized consumer demand is constantly emerging. More and more young consumers not only want to eat delicious, drink enjoyable, but also want to have fun. In order to meet the consumption concept of young consumers who pay attention to product appearance and healthy taste to the greatest extent, Dayao Beverage has fully launched a strategic route. In product packaging, Dayao has launched new PET packaging products, focusing on the trend of youth and portability. Dayao has also innovated and upgraded the taste of its products, launching new products including "Dayao Lixiang", "Chayuanxiang Juice Gas Tea" and "Dayao Fruit Steam" series, and continues to create a trendy drink explosion. In order to achieve in-depth communication with consumers, the big kiln also held a "Who is the king of the big kiln" competition, "the passion on stage is dazzling, the passion off the stage is playing CALL", which is interesting, cool and down-to-earth to gain consumer recognition.

  In 2021, Dayao officially started the road of brand marketing upgrade with the category positioning of "big soda, drinking big kiln", which made people inside and outside the industry shine. In 2022, Dayao identified Wu Jing as the spokesperson and quickly grafted his "positive energy attribute" onto the brand, which made Dayao soda glow with new potential and swept the country. In order to continue the good cooperation in the past year, Dayao and Wu Jing joined hands again to aim for new marketing in 2023 and embark on a new journey.

  Opportunities and challenges coexist in the food and beverage industry. Brands should focus more on their own products, values and consumer interactions to cultivate internal strength in order to seize the opportunity. Dayao will advance from a high starting point to enhance the brand value. If you are interested in joining Dayao, you can pay attention to the official website of Dayao (www.dayaoyinpin.com) and the official account of "Dayao Beverage" to learn more and start the road of win-win in 2023.
