In 26 years, the impact factor is six times longer, and the domestic academic journal Cell Research has created a miracle.

The cover of the first issue of Cell Research)2016 published the latest research on the origin of dogs by scientists in China.

Since its publication 26 years ago, the impact factor has increased from about 2 to 14.812, and the international academic journal CR (Cell Research) from China is considered to have created a miracle.

On June 13th, the Intellectual Property and Technology Division of Thomson Reuters released the latest Journal Citation Reports? (JCR) in 2016, which provided various annual journal metrics including Journal Impact Factors (JIF). The report covers 11,365 academic journals in 234 disciplines in 81 countries and regions around the world.

The higher the impact factor, the greater the influence of academic journals.

According to the report, in the field of life sciences composed of biochemistry, molecular biology and cell biology, the Scientific Citation Index (SCI) has collected 423 international academic journals in the world, and Cell Research ranks 10th in terms of impact factors, and it is also the first academic journal in the life sciences in the Asia-Pacific region.

In this report, Cell Research is defined as an academic journal in the field of cell biology, but in fact, it is a comprehensive journal in the field of life science.

In the aforementioned ranking of life sciences, there are only three comprehensive journals ranked before Cell Studies, namely, internationally renowned academic journals Nature Medicine, Cell and Nature Cell biology (Nature and Science), which are comprehensive publications, including not only life science papers, but also astronomy.

This is also the first time that the influencing factors of Cell Research have surpassed the internationally renowned academic journals, such as MC (Molecular Cell) and NSMB (Nature Structural & Molecular Biology).

If only from the numerical comparison, among all disciplines, Cell Studies is the academic journal with the highest impact factor in China at present (in the actual ranking, it is only compared within the scope of classmates and the same field).

On the afternoon of June 15th, Pei Gang, an academician of China Academy of Sciences and president of Tongji University, told The Paper (www.thepaper.cn) that Cell Research was moving towards the top international academic journals. Its rise benefited from the rapid development of life science research in China, and it was also helping China scientists in the field of life science win more and more right to speak.

On the afternoon of June 15th, Pei Gang, editor-in-chief of Cell Research and academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences, was interviewed by the media.

Chinese and foreign scientists contributed equally.

Cell Research is a monthly magazine, which was founded in 1990. In 2006, Pei Gang began to be the editor-in-chief. At that time, the influence factor of Cell Research was 2.161.

Pei Gang revealed that graduate students of the Chinese Academy of Sciences need to publish good and high-impact papers after graduation. In the past, in order to support the development of Cell Research, the Chinese Academy of Sciences gave a regulation that if a paper was published in Cell Research, they could also graduate. At that time, people were invited everywhere to contribute articles, but now, they can’t send them through the back door.

In 2006, Pei Gang introduced Li Dangsheng, Ph.D. in molecular biology, who was then the deputy editor of the top international academic journal Cell, back to China, and asked him to be the executive deputy editor. Since then, the influencing factors of Cell Research have started to climb year after year.

On the afternoon of June 15th, Li Dangsheng, executive deputy editor of Cell Research, was interviewed by the media.

Li Dangsheng told The Paper (www.thepaper.cn) that some people did want to publish papers through the back door a few years ago, but now there is no more. Having been rejected several times, they knew the style of Cell Research. At present, the magazine receives about 1600 articles each year, and less than 100 articles can be selected for publication.

Cheng Lei, director of the editorial department of the magazine, said that Chinese and foreign scientists contributed 50% of the articles and published about the same proportion.

Academic research attaches importance to originality, and whoever publishes the paper first is often the owner of the scientific research results. Cell Research is regarded as the "fast lane" for the publication of high-quality scientific research achievements in China.

Li Dangsheng said that only top papers and high-quality scientific research results can enhance the grade and influence of Cell Research. Therefore, papers that want to be published through the back door must not work. The secret of improving the impact factor of Cell Research lies in "finding the missing", and two kinds of papers are favored by it. One is that they have not been published in top international academic journals such as Nature, and the other is that top scientists are willing to support the papers of Cell Research. To pull such a paper, first, it depends on the eye, and second, it depends on the "relationship." Editors should be very knowledgeable, in order to build a strategic position and give professional opinions and suggestions, and the editorial department should also respond quickly, provide good service and review quickly, so as to win the trust and respect of scientists.

On the afternoon of June 15th, Dr. Li Dangsheng, executive deputy editor of Cell Research, introduced the journal.

Two cases of "missing"

In this regard, Luo Zhenge, a researcher at the Institute of Neuroscience, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has a deep understanding.

Diseases caused by Zika virus can often heal themselves, but pregnant women infected with Zika virus may cause microcephaly in newborns. However, the direct evidence of microcephaly caused by the virus has been lacking, but only the relevant data based on epidemiological investigation.

At the beginning of 2016, imported cases of Zika virus first appeared in China, and scientists in China isolated the related virus strain SZ01.

Based on this virus strain, in April, Luo Zhenge’s research group proved for the first time that Zika virus can cross the placental barrier, resulting in the decrease of lateral ventricle cavity and the obvious decrease of cerebral cortex area in offspring mice.

This is the first discovery in the world, and it is the direct evidence that Zika virus causes microcephaly. The animal model can be used in the follow-up research and development process such as vaccine and drug testing.

Because of the obvious experimental phenomenon, Luo Zhenge submitted his research paper to an internationally renowned academic journal for the first time, but the international reviewers put forward more stringent requirements for the paper. Luo Zhenge, who was well aware of the fierce competition in this research field, immediately transferred the paper to Cell Research, and submitted it on April 24. Within 72 hours, two international reviewers gave good comments. After a short supplementary experiment, the paper was accepted on May 2 and published online on May 13.

Almost at the same time, several other similar studies were published in top international academic journals such as Nature, Science and Cell Stem Cells.

Another case is that in 2008, the research team led by Zhang Chenyu, a professor at Nanjing University, found a stable small RNA in the blood, which opened a new research field, but its paper was frustrated when it was reviewed by academic journals such as Nature, and it was delayed to be published. After learning this situation, Li Dangsheng won the paper over and finally published it in Cell Research. Up to now, according to the statistics of SCI core database, this paper has been cited more than 1500 times. This citation exceeds most research papers.

Let China’s high-quality scientific research achievements be discovered and recognized

On the afternoon of 16th, Luo Zhenge told The Paper that although China’s life science research has made great progress, in the international academic circle, China scientists whose English is not their mother tongue are still at a disadvantage in the competition. In particular, editors of many international academic journals are more familiar with foreign scientists than China scientists. However, Cell Research provides an opportunity for China’s high-quality scientific research achievements to be discovered and recognized by the international community.

At present, Cell Research has 6 editors, each of whom handles about 300 research papers every year.

Li Dangsheng said that in addition to the huge workload, another challenge faced by editors is that knowledge is updated quickly, and life sciences include many fields such as immunity, stem cells, developmental biology, structural biology, etc., and they need to study frequently to have the ability to review related papers. 30% of the papers in Cell Research are available for open access (free download), and the remaining 70% need to be paid.

Cheng Lei revealed that, except for government-funded funds, Cell Research basically achieved a balance of payments by collecting subscription fees from foreign institutions.

Jia Hepeng, former editor-in-chief of Science News magazine of Chinese Academy of Sciences and former head of China region of British Science and Development Network (SciDev.Net), told The Paper on the evening of 16th that there are many periodicals, but few good ones. Compared with start-ups, the establishment of high-quality academic publications is not burning money, but it still needs stable support so that the editorial department does not have to rack its brains for money. In particular, scientific communication is very important to improve the citation rate of individual papers and the influencing factors of journals. Some China journals have been unable to do it for many years, and the reason is that they have not done enough in scientific communication. They have always been urged by the government to do it, but they will not do it until the official gives money. However, in this respect, Cell Research has further introduced the high-quality scientific research achievements of China scientists by cooperating with springer-Nature and relying on the latter’s scientific communication ability.

Climate and dining table | What should we do if the happiness of coffee and chocolate is gone?

The scorching summer has come, and other creatures on the earth are also suffering from high temperature besides human beings. You may not realize that the ingredients that are about to become delicious food in your mouth are also in danger of "heatstroke". For example, refreshing coffee, cool orange juice and sweet chocolate. The book "The Earth Doesn’t Care: The Table Destroyed by Climate Change" shows readers an unknown global food picture, and those foods that we are used to may become increasingly scarce in the future. 

The earth doesn’t care: the dining table destroyed by climate change

Coffee that continues to reduce production.

Since 2010, the global coffee bean production has been declining, because the main coffee producing areas are located in Africa and Brazil, where the temperature is rising, especially the temperature difference between day and night is getting smaller and smaller, which directly affects the growth of coffee trees, and coffee gardens have to move to higher altitudes.

Some studies have predicted that Arabica coffee, the queen of coffee today, will be severely hit in the future. The optimal growth temperature of this coffee bean is between 18 and 24 degrees Celsius. If the temperature exceeds 30 degrees Celsius for a long time, its growth will stagnate.

Arabica coffee

In addition, there are more and more extreme climates. The high temperature scorches the coffee leaves, and the rising air humidity will cause more pests and diseases, such as a terrible fungus, Camellia sinensis. These effects not only reduce the yield of coffee beans, but also increase the price of coffee.

The book points out that if you want to continue drinking coffee, you need to change the coffee planting system. For example, choosing a coffee tree species that is more adaptable to changes requires farmers to pull out the old varieties of coffee trees. Some professors joked that "it is not so simple as separating a man from his wife".

For another example, coffee farmers should learn more sustainable planting methods, including improving soil, mixed planting, setting up cooperatives and so on. However, the change of agricultural production can not be achieved overnight, and it needs long-term experience accumulation, but also needs various considerations of social economy. I am afraid that the progress of human-made change can not keep up with the speed of environmental change.

Therefore, the author still pessimistically points out that in the future, only those who can still afford high-priced coffee can casually promise "Let’s have a cup of coffee!" For ordinary people, one day in the future, they may have to give up the leisure hobby of coffee.

Oranges plagued by plague

80% of the concentrated orange juice in the world comes from Brazil. However, a plague, Huanglongbing, broke out in orange plantations in Brazil. For oranges, Huanglongbing is just like Covid-19’s threat to human beings. The plague has swept the world, and it is constantly mutating in the process of spreading. According to FAO data, Huanglongbing has destroyed more than 100 million orange trees worldwide.

Citrus trees with Huanglongbing disease

The pathogen of Huanglongbing first lived in the hot environment of Asia, and was first discovered by farmers in Chaozhou, China hundreds of years ago. In 1965, the pathogen was found in southern Africa. Two years later, experts found its trace in the Philippines, and the pathogen and citrus psyllid combined to form a more harmful disease. In 2004, the disease also appeared in Brazil, and a new bacterial variety was produced, which began to sweep the whole America.

This plague will spread from orange tree to orange tree. When they are infected, they will give off the fragrance of methyl salicylate, attract a large number of psyllids, and further spread the disease. The researchers pointed out that with the increase of temperature, the reproduction speed of psyllid can be increased from 4 generations to 8 generations per year.

Huanglongbing not only leads to the decline of orange yield, but also makes the taste of fruit sour. In other words, orange juice is not as good as it used to be, and the composition of juice must be redesigned. This has brought new challenges to the orange juice industry.

Like human beings, solving the plague problem requires a high cost. In fact, except oranges, many crops are facing the same disease disaster problem. It is also mentioned in the book that vineyards in Europe are being harmed by a fruit fly, and olive trees are also being harmed by another fruit fly.

More and more "luxury" chocolate

Cocoa trees generally grow between 20 degrees north latitude and 20 degrees south latitude. Cocoa beans produced in C? te d ‘Ivoire and Ghana in western Africa meet the demand of two-thirds of the world cocoa bean market. With the climate change, the local rainfall is getting less and less, and cocoa trees can’t stand the long-term high temperature and dry climate. The optimum growth temperature of cocoa trees is 21-32 degrees Celsius, which can withstand the high temperature of 36 degrees Celsius for a short time. Once the temperature is exceeded for too long, the cocoa trees will suffer from "heatstroke". If there is not enough water to cool down, their own circulation system will soon collapse.

cacao tree

According to the research report "Vulnerability of Cocoa Trees in West Africa to Climate Change", the whole West Africa cocoa will be brought to the middle of the 21st century, and 50% of the planting area will disappear due to high temperature and heat. In 2016, The Wall Street Journal speculated that the chocolate industry had invested about $1 billion to develop measures to deal with climate change.

Edward George, an agricultural expert, said: "Maybe one day, chocolate will really become a luxury like champagne in Europe, and it is no longer something that ordinary people like us can easily imagine."

In fact, like coffee trees, orange trees and cocoa trees, most agricultural products planted by human beings are facing the same dilemma, with less and less water resources, more and more harsh living conditions for plants and more and more pests and diseases. At the same time, the global population is still growing, and the demand for food is increasing. In the future when climate change is getting worse, it may become more and more difficult for human beings to fill their stomachs.

Casino dice

In order to solve the food problem, we must have a deep understanding of the most serious problem facing mankind-climate change. However, in the view of William .Nordhaus, the winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics in 2018, the agricultural problems concerned in The Earth Doesn’t Care: The Table Destroyed by Climate Change are still controlled systems under the influence of climate change, which can be solved by scientific and technological means. That is to say, it is still possible to make crops grow in a completely artificial environment, and of course the cost will be high.

Global warming, storm sea level rise.

Nordhaus classified the impacts of climate change into two categories, and the uncontrolled system is more terrible than the controlled system. Uncontrolled systems include sea level rise, ocean acidification, the intensification of hurricanes and the loss of ecosystems, and their operation is basically free from human intervention. Take ocean acidification as an example. Although some people still question global warming, there is basically no debate about ocean acidification, because it can be verified by simply measuring pH value. Ocean acidification will seriously affect fisheries, and oysters, corals, plankton and shellfish will be affected. Scientists’ research on this topic first appeared in 2004, and it is still in the initial research stage, so no solution has been put forward.

In the public’s cognition, climate change is still too far away. Although extreme weather such as high temperature, drought and rainstorm are becoming more and more frequent, the public still can’t directly understand the impact of climate change on themselves. Some people even think that natural scientists pay too much attention to environmental protection and fail to consider the needs of economic and social development.

Climate Casino: Risk, Uncertainty and Economics of Global Warming

If you feel the same way, nordhaus’s "Climate Casino: Risk, Uncertainty and Economics of Global Warming" will give you a new perspective to understand climate change. As the author’s metaphor in the title of this book shows, human beings are entering the "climate casino" and throwing some climate dice, some of which may be dangerous. So, what can gamblers do in casinos? First of all, we need to know the consequences of different dice to help us get out of the casino safely.

How much will it cost to mitigate climate change?

This popular science book introduces the economic policies to deal with climate change. The most important thing is that the author always discusses the possible economic impact of climate change from the perspective of "cost and benefit", so that readers can understand that climate change is actually an economic problem.

Nordhaus believes that there are three main ways to deal with the threat of climate change.

The first method is adaptation, which means that we should learn to cope with the warming world, not stop it. This method is highly praised by people who think that climate change is negligible. But the problem is that the economic cost of adaptation is not low. If the investment in agricultural facilities is acceptable, then the investment in dealing with sea level rise may be astronomical. Therefore, the general view of experts at present is that adaptation is local and prevention is global.

The second method is geo-engineering, which is generally divided into two categories. The first category is the technology of removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and the second category is the solar radiation management technology that reflects sunlight and heat back into space. But the problem is that geoengineering can not completely offset the greenhouse effect on the technical level; On the implementation level, geo-engineering is a double-edged sword, which has a certain constructive role, but at the same time it is potentially destructive. It can be used in good faith or for malicious destruction. Therefore, the author believes that geo-engineering is similar to what doctors call "rescue therapy" and can only be used when other schemes fail.

The third method is to slow down (prevent) climate change, that is, to take action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reduce its atmospheric concentration. This is the focus of current global consultations, and it is the safest solution from the environmental point of view. The author thinks that although it is the most expensive to slow down climate change in the short term, it is actually the most economical way in the long term.

Reduce greenhouse gas emissions

Through the calculation of economic model, nordhaus found that if we live in an ideal world-all countries in this world coordinate and jointly launch emission reduction measures, earnestly ensure that all countries and departments participate, and act in a timely and efficient manner. Then, it is feasible to achieve the goal of "2-degree temperature rise ceiling" proposed by Copenhagen agreement, and it only needs to spend 1%-2% of the world’s total income every year.

However, such a world does not exist. Because "reliable and correct, it may not be popular and realized, and even in reality, it will be fiercely resisted."

Through the economic model, nordhaus found that if only half of the countries participated in the efforts, it would not only be much more expensive, but also impossible. In addition, inefficient control or methods will also double the cost. Therefore, mankind still needs to strive to develop more efficient technologies, design social mechanisms to promote economic efficiency and high participation rate, and provide help to poor countries with limited resources. Finally, we may need to adjust our goals so that they can be achieved.

Obviously, the goal of the upper limit of 1.5 degrees has become increasingly difficult to achieve. On May 17th this year, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) released the latest report, saying that the global temperature may rise to a record high in the next five years, and it is very likely that it will briefly break through the threshold of 1.5 degrees Celsius, one of the key indicators of global warming stipulated in the Paris Agreement.

How much do you have to pay for carbon emissions?

See here, you should probably understand why many countries have put forward the goal of carbon neutrality, and China also put forward the goal of "carbon neutrality in peak carbon dioxide emissions in 2030 and in 2060" in 2021. You may also understand that what so many international climate conferences are discussing is actually urging all countries to make commitments and take practical actions. Because this is the only choice for mankind at present.

So, for ordinary people, what do you have to pay for it?

On the economic level, nordhaus proposed two ways, one is carbon tax, and the other is carbon trading. Simply put, it is to set a price for carbon emissions, and then let enterprises or consumers pay for it in different ways. In fact, this has already appeared in our daily life, such as the familiar fuel tax. He pointed out that even the most conservative economists support carbon tax as the most efficient way to slow down global warming.

However, in the policies of different countries, nordhaus believes that many control policies are inefficient or ineffective, with little impact, but they need to spend huge costs. For example, subsidies for green technologies provide financial incentives for solar energy and hybrid vehicles. Nordhaus raised his own question, why should we subsidize hybrid cars instead of bicycles? Subsidies are not the solution. It is much more practical to punish carbon emissions than subsidies.

Another thing to note is "energy-cost shortsightedness", that is, we may buy cars with lower initial cost in order to save money now, and underestimate the energy saved in the future. Failure to make the most economical decision is a common feature of human behavior, and human shortsightedness can only see immediate interests. To put it mildly, this is why some low-carbon behaviors are difficult to promote; To put it bluntly, this is the reason why human beings have come to this situation today.

Don’t be a slave to money.

Looking at climate change from an economic perspective will make the analysis and discussion more rational, and of course it will ignore other important contents. After all, money can’t solve all problems. Capitalism in Lishan: Don’t be a slave of money, be a master of Lishan with peace of mind, which is a collection of cases that can broaden one’s horizons and provide innovative solutions.

Capitalism in Lishan: Don’t Be a Slave of Money, Be a Secure Master of Lishan.

This book is based on a series of investigation reports produced by NHK after the 311 earthquake in Japan. They found some alternative economic models and coined the term "Rishan Capitalism" together with the economist Hirosuke Noguchi.

They believe that "money capitalism" is built on the premise that the circulation of funds determines everything, while "Lishan capitalism" quietly establishes a subsystem that does not depend on money next to "money capitalism", allowing people to continuously obtain water, food and fuel when they have no money. Because what people need to survive is water, food and fuel, not just money.

"Lishan capitalism" is a reflection on natural disasters that human beings can’t cope with, and it is also a reflection on the global economic system. The place was originally only a part of the global economic industrial chain, and even a party eliminated by fierce competition. If we can get rid of the inertia thinking mode of "money capitalism", re-examine the local resources and advantages, and even look at the existing problems with reverse thinking, we may find new treasures. The book introduces some interesting cases of "turning waste into treasure".

Energy revolution town

Zhenting City, Okayama Prefecture has carried out the most advanced energy revolution in Japan. The local economy is supported by forestry and wood processing industry. At the end of 1997, the local wood processing factory began to use sawdust to generate electricity, which was called "woody biomass power generation". Sawdust was originally the production waste of the factory, and it needs to be treated as industrial waste, which costs a lot of money. However, since the start of power generation, the power consumption of the factory has been almost 100% dependent on biomass power generation, which has also saved the power consumption cost, which is a typical innovation of turning waste into treasure.

Because of the excessive sawdust waste, the local factory thought of a new use, pressing it into "wood particles" and becoming a new fuel, which can be used by local families and agricultural boilers. Since then, this small town has begun to build a biomass industry and ushered in economic recovery.

In 2022, the European Parliament continued to recognize "original woody biomass" as renewable energy. In fact, Austria is the most advanced country in "power generation from woody biomass". The author of this book also went to Austria for an interview and found that, like Zhenting, a small town in Japan, energy conversion not only solved the energy problem, improved the energy self-sufficiency rate, but also promoted the local economic regeneration and even enhanced national security.

Overcome the lack of society

Aging and declining birthrate are making Japan a "society without opportunities", that is, a society in which people lose contact. There are many vacant houses and elderly people in Zhuangyuan City, Hiroshima Prefecture. The local "Overpopulation Inversion Association" is conducting some welfare experiments on how to turn the problem into resources. They believe that "the disadvantage is not a defect but a treasure chest". Community currency is an interesting attempt.

The staff of the "Overpopulation Inversion Association" heard when chatting with some day-care elderly people that some elderly people like to grow vegetables at home, and they can be self-sufficient, and there will be many vegetables left rotting in the ground, which makes the elderly feel very distressed. So they thought of a way. All the ingredients in the local welfare homes are purchased from foreign real estate. If you buy the dishes of the elderly in the form of community currency, it will not reduce food waste. In the end, the welfare home bought the dishes for the elderly at half the market price, and the elderly could pay for day care with community currency, achieving a win-win situation.

Later, a local restaurant that can use community currency was opened, and a nursery park was opened next to it. The ingredients in the restaurant come from the vegetable garden of the local elderly, and the staff is the mother who is raising children. After sending the children, they can start working. Old people can have lunch in the restaurant or play with the children in the nursery.

Community currency returns to the original function of currency-exchange value, and at the same time undertakes the function of rebuilding local interpersonal connection. People can exchange and communicate with resources and skills that cannot enter the market, especially those who are usually considered as the weak in society, including the elderly, the disabled and housewives.

summarize

In the economic model of Nobel Prize economist nordhaus, we understand why we should reduce carbon emissions to deal with climate change, because it is the only rational choice for human beings. Only along this road, those foods we love can last longer. However, this road is full of thorns, because many problems of "money capitalism" have accumulated. At this time, we need to change some ways of thinking, just like the solution of "Lishan capitalism".

"The insurance premium of Lishan capitalism is not money, but to act and prepare for the matter itself."

For ordinary people, climate change is a problem that we can’t solve with money, but we can use "action and preparation" to win more insurance for ourselves. Preparation comes from our understanding of climate change; Action comes from the change of our daily behavior.

People share the food on the table.

In a recent sustainable food workshop, I shared some information about endangered foods with the participants. I just told them which foods might disappear, and I didn’t have time to introduce the story "The Earth doesn’t care: the table destroyed by climate change" in detail. Even so, when people know that coffee and chocolate may become increasingly scarce, they have shown their frustration that happiness will be deprived.

Perhaps such depression is the seed of "action and preparation". In the face of an uncertain future, we cannot underestimate the impact of climate change, nor can we underestimate the potential of individual action.

Tesla wants to kill "brake failure"

Recently, Ashok Elluswamy, director of Tesla autopilot software, gave a speech at CVPR 2022 conference, introducing many achievements made by Tesla autopilot team in the past year, especially the neural network model named Occupancy Networks (hereinafter referred to as occupation network).

He said that there are many problems in the traditional methods of semantic segmentation and depth information used in autonomous driving systems, such as the difficulty of converting 2D to 3D and the inaccurate estimation of depth information.

After using the occupancy network, the model can predict the space occupied by objects around the vehicle (including the space generated by the next action of dynamic objects).

Based on this, vehicles can make evasive actions without identifying the specific obstacles-Ashok Elluswamy even joked on Twitter that Tesla’s car can even avoid UFOs!

Based on this technology, vehicles can also see whether there are obstacles in the surrounding corners, so as to realize unprotected steering like human drivers!

In short, the occupation of the network has significantly enhanced Tesla’s autonomous driving ability (L2).

It is said that Tesla’s autopilot system can prevent 40 car accidents caused by driver errors every day!

In addition, Ashok Elluswamy also highlighted the efforts of Tesla Autopilot system in preventing drivers from misoperation.

By sensing the external environment and the driver’s operating system, the vehicle can identify the driver’s misoperation, such as stepping on the accelerator pedal at the wrong time, the vehicle will stop accelerating and brake automatically!

Tesla wants to kill "brake failure"

▲ Tesla active braking

That is to say, some problems of "brake failure" caused by driver’s misoperation that have been frequently exposed in China will be technically restricted.

I have to say that Tesla is really good at promoting technological progress. The following is a video compilation of Ashok Elluswamy’s speech, with a slight deletion.

First, the pure vision algorithm is powerful, and the two-dimensional image is transformed into three-dimensional.

At the beginning of the speech, Ashok said that not everyone knows the specific functions of Tesla’s autopilot system, so he briefly introduced it.

Tesla wants to kill "brake failure"

▲Ashok

According to him, Tesla’s autopilot system can help vehicles achieve lane keeping, vehicle following, deceleration and cornering, etc. In addition to these, Tesla’s autopilot system is also equipped with standard safety functions, such as emergency braking and obstacle avoidance, which can avoid a variety of collisions.

In addition, since 2019, about 1 million Tesla vehicles can use more advanced navigation on the expressway, check the information of adjacent lanes to perform lane changes and identify the entrances and exits of the expressway.

Moreover, the Tesla autopilot system can automatically park in the parking lot, identify traffic lights and road signs, and make a right turn to bypass obstacles such as cars. At present, these functions have been verified by hundreds of thousands of Tesla owners.

In the speech, Ashok also took out a video recorded by a user. The video shows that when the user is driving on a crowded road in San Francisco, the car screen shows the surrounding environment, such as road boundaries, lane lines, the position and speed of nearby vehicles.

Tesla wants to kill "brake failure"

▲ The system recognizes the surrounding environment.

On the one hand, these need the support of hardware such as Tesla car and camera, on the other hand, they also need the support of algorithms and neural networks built into Tesla autopilot system.

According to Ashok, Tesla is equipped with eight 1.2-megapixel cameras, which can capture 360-degree images of the surrounding environment and generate an average of 36 images per second. Then Tesla’s car will process this information, and it can perform 144 trillion operations per second (TeraOPs/s).

Moreover, these processes are based on pure vision algorithm, without using lidar and ultrasonic radar, and without high-definition map.

So how does Tesla’s autopilot system identify general obstacles?

Ashok said that when encountering general obstacles, the system will use the space division method. When using the space segmentation method, the system marks every pixel in the space as "drivable" and "non-drivable", and then automatically drives the chip to deal with the scene. However, there are some problems with this method.

Tesla wants to kill "brake failure"

▲ Marking of objects

First of all, the object pixels marked by the system are in two-dimensional space, and in order to navigate the car in three-dimensional space, the object pixels need to be converted into the corresponding predicted values in three-dimensional space, so that Tesla’s system can establish an interactive physical model and handle the navigation task smoothly.

Tesla wants to kill "brake failure"

▲ Marking of objects

However, when the system converts the pixels of an object from a two-dimensional image to a three-dimensional image, it needs to carry out image semantic segmentation (that is, identify the image at the pixel level, that is, label the object category to which each pixel in the image belongs).

This process will produce unnecessary images or unnecessary pixels in the system, and a few pixels on the ground plane of the image can have a great influence, which directly determines how to convert this two-dimensional image into a three-dimensional image. Therefore, Tesla does not want to produce such influential pixels during planning.

In addition, different obstacles need to be judged by different methods.

Generally speaking, the depth value of the object (the distance from the observer’s point of view to the object, which is finally obtained after projection transformation, standardization of equipment coordinates and scaling translation) is commonly used.

In some scenarios, the system can predict obstacles first. In another scene, the system can also detect the depth of the pixels of the image, so each pixel will produce some depth values.

Tesla wants to kill "brake failure"

▲ Depth map (right)

However, although the depth map finally generated is very beautiful, only three points are needed when the depth map is used for prediction.

Moreover, when visualizing these three points, although it is ok to look at them at close range, they will also be deformed with the increase of distance, and it is difficult to continue to use these images in the next stage.

For example, walls may be deformed and bent. The objects near the ground level are also determined by fewer points, which makes the system unable to correctly judge obstacles in planning.

Because these depth maps are converted from plane images collected by multiple cameras, it is difficult to produce the same obstacle in the end, and it is also difficult for the system to predict the boundary of the obstacle.

Therefore, Tesla proposed an occupation network scheme to solve this problem.

Second, calculate the space occupancy rate and code the object.

During the speech, Ashok also showed this network occupation scheme by video. He said that as can be seen from the video, in this scheme, the system processes the images captured by eight cameras, then calculates the space occupancy rate of the object, and finally generates a schematic diagram.

▲ The generated simulated image

Moreover, every time the Tesla car moves, the system network will recalculate the space occupancy rate of the surrounding objects. In addition, the system network will not only calculate the space occupancy of some static objects, such as trees and walls, but also calculate the space occupancy of dynamic objects, including driving cars.

After that, the network outputs the image into a three-dimensional image, and can also predict the occluded object, so even if the car only uploads part of the outline of the object, the user can distinguish the object clearly.

In addition, although the resolution of the images captured by the system is different because of the distance, based on the above scheme, the resolution of the simulated 3D images finally presented is the same.

Tesla wants to kill "brake failure"

▲ The generated images have the same resolution.

This means that the whole scheme runs very efficiently. Ashok said that the computing platform runs for 10 milliseconds, and the system network can run at the rate of 100 Hz, which is even faster than the speed of many cameras recording images.

So, how is this process completed? This requires an understanding of the architecture of the occupation network scheme.

When explaining the architecture of the occupation network scheme, Ashok takes the images taken by Tesla fisheye camera and the left camera as an example, and compares the image correction process between them.

First, the system will stretch the image, then extract the image features, find out whether the points related to the 3D image are occupied, then use the 3D position coding, and then map it to a fixed position, after which the information will be collected in the subsequent calculation.

Tesla wants to kill "brake failure"

▲ Conduct preliminary processing on the image.

After that, the system will embed the position of the image space, continue to process the image stream through 3D query, and finally generate 3D occupation features. Because high-dimensional occupation features are generated, it is difficult to perform this operation at every point in the space. Therefore, the system will generate these high-dimensional features in lower dimensions, such as using typical up-sampling technology to generate high-dimensional space occupancy.

Tesla wants to kill "brake failure"

▲ Calculate the space occupancy of objects.

Interestingly, Ashok revealed in his speech that this occupation network scheme was only used to deal with static objects, but in the end it was found that it was difficult to deal with only static trees, and the system also encountered many difficulties when it first began to distinguish between "true and false pedestrians".

But the team finally found that no matter whether these obstacles are moving or static, the system only needs to be able to avoid them in the end.

Tesla wants to kill "brake failure"

▲ True and false pedestrians

Therefore, the occupation network scheme no longer distinguishes between dynamic obstacles and static obstacles, but uses other classifications to deal with them and calculate the instantaneous space occupancy rate of objects, but this is not enough to ensure that Tesla cars can drive safely.

Because if only the instantaneous space occupancy rate is calculated, it is not reasonable for Tesla to meet a car while driving at high speed and then start to slow down. The system wants to know more about the space occupancy rate of this car at different times and the changes.

In this way, the system can predict when the car will leave. Therefore, the scheme also involves predicting the occupied flow.

Tesla wants to kill "brake failure"

▲ Calculation process of occupied flow

The data of occupancy flow can be the first and higher derivative of space occupancy or time, and it can also provide more accurate control and unify them in the same coordinate system. The system will use the same method to generate space occupancy and occupancy flow, which will also provide strong protection against various obstacles.

Third, the type of obstacle is not important. The system can avoid collision.

Ashok also said that conventional motion or mobile networks can’t judge the type of object, such as whether it is a static object or a moving vehicle.

However, from the control level, the type of objects is actually not important, and the network occupation scheme provides good protection to prevent the network from classification difficulties.

Because no matter what the obstacle is, the system will think that this part of the space is occupied and move at a certain speed. Some special types of vehicles may have strange protrusions, which are difficult to model with traditional technology. The system will use cubes or other polygons to represent moving objects.

In this way, the object can be squeezed at will, and this occupying method does not need complex grid topology modeling.

When the vehicle is turning unprotected or protected, geometric information can be used to infer the occlusion situation. Geometric information should not only infer the information recognized by the vehicle camera, but also infer the unrecognized information.

For example, when a car is making an unprotected turn, there is a fork in the road ahead, and there may be potential vehicles blocked by trees and road signs, so the car "knows" that it can’t see the vehicles from these obstructions. Based on different control strategies, cars can ask questions and eliminate this occlusion.

Therefore, for a stationary object, the car can recognize when it becomes visible while driving. Because there is a complete three-dimensional obstacle, the car can also predict what distance it will hit this object, and then the system will identify and pass this blocked object through smooth control.

Therefore, the occupy network scheme helps to improve the control stack in many different ways. This scheme is an extension of the nerve radiation field, and the nerve radiation field (NeRf) has largely taken over the research of computer vision in the past few years.

Tesla wants to kill "brake failure"

▲ Schematic diagram of the association between Nerf and occupied network

NeRf is an image reconstruction scene in a single scene or a single location, which is reconstructed from a point in a single location.

Ashok said that when Tesla’s vehicles are driving, the images received in the background processing are more accurate, so it is possible to generate cross-time and accurate image routes, and generate more accurate 3D reconstruction through the NeRf model and 3D state differential rendering images.

There is a problem with the images in the real world-we will see a lot of unreal or different scenes in the real world.

For example, the glare of the sun or the dirt or dust on the windshield will change due to the diffraction of light, or raindrops will further distort the propagation of light and eventually produce artifacts.

The way to improve the robustness is to use higher-level descriptors, but these descriptors will not change the local lighting artifacts (such as glare) to a certain extent.

Because RGB (color system) images may be very noisy, adding descriptors on RGB can provide a layer of semantic protection to prevent the change of RGB values. Therefore, Tesla’s goal is to use this method to occupy the network solution.

Tesla wants to kill "brake failure"

▲ Descriptors are more robust than RGB.

Because the network occupation scheme needs to generate space occupancy in several shots, it cannot run a complete neural optimization in the car, but the neural optimization can be reduced to run in the background, ensuring that the space occupancy generated by it can explain the images of all sensors received by the car when it is running.

In addition, descriptors can also be superimposed during training to produce good supervision for these networks; At the same time, different sensor data can be differentiated to monitor the images held.

At present, Tesla has a network to reduce obstacles. The next step is to avoid any collision. Autopilot already has many safety functions.

Then, Ashok showed three videos of Autopilot starting to avoid collision.

The collision accident here refers to the collision accident caused by the driver accidentally stepping on the accelerator pedal as a brake pedal.

Ashok means that when the driver accidentally uses the accelerator as a brake, the car will accelerate and cause a collision, but the car will recognize and automatically stop the acceleration and automatically brake to prevent the collision.

In the first video, Ashock said that if Autopilot didn’t start and stopped the car from accelerating, the driver in the video would probably fall into the river.

▲ Tesla AP starts to avoid the car falling into the river.

Similarly, the second video shows that a Tesla driver mistakenly stepped on the accelerator while parking, but Autopilot quickly started and prevented the car from hitting shops and pedestrians.

Tesla wants to kill "brake failure"

▲ Tesla AP starts to avoid the car hitting the store.

Fourth, automatically plan the path through the occupied vehicle.

However, it may take several seconds or even minutes for the car to brake and stop smoothly, and there may not be enough time to identify obstacles and calculate when the car is driving.

So we should use neural network to achieve this goal; Especially recently, there have been more complicated hidden scenes. What Tesla’s autonomous driving team has to do is to get the space occupancy rate from the previous network.

First, the space occupancy rate should be coded into a super-compressed MLP. In essence, this MLP is an implicit representation of whether collision can be avoided in any specific query state, and this collision avoidance method provides some guarantees in a certain time range. For example, collisions can be avoided in 2 seconds or 4 seconds or within a certain time range.

Ashok gives another example here. He gives a top-down road. Black pixels are obstacles, gray pixels are roads and white pixels are road lanes. In the top view of this three-dimensional space, the car can be placed at any pixel position to simulate whether the collision can be avoided.

Tesla wants to kill "brake failure"

▲ Schematic diagram of vehicle driving situation

He said: "If you think of the car as a single point and the period of avoiding collision is set to an instant, then whether there will be a collision at the current time depends only on the position of the obstacle; But the problem is that the car is not a point, it has a rectangular shape and can also turn. "

Therefore, only when the shape is convolved with the obstacle can we immediately know whether the car is in a collision state.

As the car turns (or rotates out of control), the collision field will change. Green means that the car is in a safe position without collision, and red means collision, so when the car rotates, there are more collision positions; But when the car position is aligned, the green position expands, which means that the car will not collide.

On the whole, Ashok shows how to use multiple camera videos and products to generate dense space occupation rate and occupation flow. Through space occupation rate, an effective collision avoidance field can be generated through neural network, that is, vehicles can "see" through the camera and, according to experience, pass through the road with appropriate speed and direction.

Tesla wants to kill "brake failure"

▲ Implicit neural network for collision avoidance.

Ashok also shared an experiment in a simulated environment. The driver stepped on the accelerator to accelerate and there was no steering behavior. The car monitored that there would be a collision and planned a path to make the car pass safely.

Ashok said at the end of his speech that if they can successfully implement all the above technologies, they can produce a car that will never crash.

Obviously, this work has not been completed. In his last PPT, Ashok actively invited engineers to join Tesla and build a car that will never crash!

Tesla wants to kill "brake failure"

▲ Ashok Elluswamy welcomes more talents to join Tesla.

Conclusion: Tesla continues to explore autonomous driving.

Since Tesla’s self-driving technology with fire, a large number of followers have emerged on the self-driving track. But it must be said that Tesla is still at the forefront of the industry and constantly explores new methods of autonomous driving.

The person in charge of the Tesla Autopilot project brought new technical interpretations, and also showed us the highlights of Tesla’s future autonomous driving technology in advance to some extent. With Tesla’s spirit of continuous exploration, its autonomous driving will continue to lead the entire automobile market.

Hebei: launching new infrastructure, they are fighting on the construction site.

Since the outbreak of the epidemic, the construction of new infrastructure has provided strong support for ensuring the normal operation of people’s production and life. On March 4th, the CPC held a meeting in Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, proposing to speed up the construction of new infrastructure such as 5G network and data center. The investment and construction of new infrastructure such as 5G network, UHV and data center in Hebei Province also press the "fast forward button".

Recently, the reporter visited the construction sites of some new infrastructure projects in Hebei Province and saw a scene of fiery construction.

Co-construction and sharing to accelerate the realization of 5G network coverage

Recently, at the site of Shijiazhuang Unicom Botanical Garden, Wu Weijian completed the 5G coverage project of the site in half a day. "The downlink rate is 776.17 trillion per second, the uplink rate is 76.97 trillion per second, and the delay is less than 30 milliseconds, which is up to standard!" After seeing the test results on the mobile phone, Wu Weijian forgot to rest, quickly sorted out the construction site and hurried to the next Red Star Garden station to be built.

Wu Weijian is an employee of Shijiazhuang Unicom’s network department. In the past few days, he went to work at the construction site at 7: 00 a.m. every day, and then went to the construction site at 18: 00, and then went back to the unit to sort out the engineering data and make the construction plan for the next day.

"Although it’s a little harder now, it’s glorious to think that it’s to let people use the 5G network earlier!" Wu Jianwei said.

As the epidemic prevention and control continues to improve, Hebei Unicom actively organizes the resumption of work and production, speeds up and grabs progress, optimizes and adjusts the 5G construction plan, and accelerates the realization of 5G network coverage. According to the joint planning scheme of the province’s 5G base stations determined by Hebei Unicom and Hebei Telecom this year, the two sides will complete 5G network coverage in the urban areas and important counties of the province.

"The prevention and control of the epidemic situation has had a certain impact on our construction progress. Fortunately, China Unicom and China Telecom have launched a 5G network co-construction and sharing mechanism to jointly promote the deployment of 5G networks." The relevant person in charge of Hebei Unicom said that the biggest benefit of co-construction and sharing is to reduce the construction cost and accelerate the construction speed. At present, Hebei Unicom is organizing the construction of a 5G base station in Shijiazhuang, and the network coverage in the urban area will be completed in the first half of the year. The whole province will achieve 5G coverage in the urban area during the National Day.

According to reports, co-construction and sharing need to coordinate the base station site, computer room, transmission and other resources of the two operators, which increases the workload to some extent. "Since the resumption of work, Hebei Unicom and Hebei Telecom have held relevant meetings on this and increased the coordination of specific issues." According to the relevant person in charge of Hebei Unicom, at present, the two sides have completed 30% of the site survey work, and this work will be fully accelerated in the future. It is planned to complete the relevant work in the first half of the year to promote the close cooperation between the two sides.

Optimize the process to ensure the progress of UHV construction

On March 30th, in Huangshan Village, Lingyunce Township, Yixian County, Baoding City, the construction site of the 1000 kV Zhangbei-Xiong ‘an UHV AC project of State Grid Hebei Electric Power Company, from the low-altitude hoisting of 25-ton cranes to the high-altitude operation of 75-ton and 350-ton cranes, cranes with different tonnage alternately operated, and the whole tower assembly work was orderly.

"The most obvious difference between UHV and general engineering is that the tower body is large and the components are heavy. The total height of the base tower is 131.5 meters, and the tower weighs 192.1 tons. The single tower is two tons light and more than seven tons heavy. By using the crane assembly line, a foundation tower can be assembled in 13 days, which saves 5 days compared with the previous tower assembly. " Feng Li, head of Hebei power transmission and transformation site in charge of construction, said.

Zhangbei-Xiong ‘an UHV AC project is an important part of the UHV AC power grid planned and constructed by State Grid Corporation of China, and it is an UHV power transmission channel for Zhangbei new energy delivery. After the completion of the project, it will meet the load development needs of Hebei Southern Power Grid and Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Power Grid, create conditions for xiong’an new area to achieve 100% clean power supply, and help the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei. According to the plan, the project will be completed on July 20.

According to reports, because some tower numbers of the project are distributed in mountainous areas, the construction environment is complex and the weather is changeable. At the same time, due to the epidemic situation, it is more difficult to assemble towers. In order to complete the project on schedule, the construction party strictly implemented epidemic prevention and control measures on the one hand, and on the other hand, by optimizing the operation process and cooperating with each working procedure and type of work, the tower assembly and stringing were carried out simultaneously and promoted synchronously.

The overall construction of each process on the construction site brings great pressure to the on-site safety control. How to promote the project efficiently and ensure the construction safety? Feng Li innovatively applied Internet technology to develop a comprehensive monitoring system for tower assembly, which can fully understand the changes of environmental factors such as wind speed, dust and noise at the scene before the system operation desk, and can remotely monitor, command, check and confirm the release, and correct violations in real time, thus realizing the safety and efficiency of power grid construction.

"I am very proud to participate in the project construction and contribute to the construction of xiong’an new area. We must do a good job in on-site control, optimize the operation process, and ensure the safe, high-quality and efficient completion of the project. " Feng Li is full of confidence.

Go all out to ensure the safe and stable operation of the data center

Frequent shuttle between the computer room and the construction site, working nearly 15 hours a day on average … This is the working state of Fu Xulun and his colleagues in the past two months. During the epidemic prevention and control period, as the person in charge of the data center of China Mobile (Baoding, Hebei), Fu Xulun was under great pressure to ensure the normal operation of the data center in the case of shortage of manpower and materials.

China Mobile (Baoding, Hebei) data center was put into operation in October 2017, which is an important part of the strategic layout of China Mobile’s national data center. At present, the data center has settled in Baidu, Ali and other Internet companies.

Affected by the epidemic, schools in Hebei Province have implemented online classes, many enterprises have telecommuted, online shopping has also increased, and the workload of data centers has surged.

In February, in order to meet the online education needs of primary and secondary school students, Hebei Mobile urgently expanded the "cloud video" system. In the case of shortage of facilities and personnel, Fu Xulun and his colleagues mobilized all materials and mobilized all forces to overcome difficulties. They worked continuously for three days and nights, and finally completed the hardware installation and software integration of the "cloud video" system to ensure the smooth online of the system. According to the normal construction progress, it will take at least half a month to complete this work.

Internet companies such as Baidu and Ali, which have settled in data centers, are facing a huge impact on the bandwidth of Internet companies due to the increase in online cloud classrooms and other applications, and the network traffic has increased significantly. In order to ensure the smooth flow of the network, Fu Xulun and his colleagues worked out an emergency plan, and completed the docking of the bandwidth access plan, hardware construction, software debugging and other work of Internet companies in just one day, which met nearly 20% of the traffic demand of Internet companies and ensured the various network application needs of netizens at home.

In the past few days, it has been normal for employees in the data center to call it a day at 10 pm. Fu Xulun said that the construction and operation of the data center involves all aspects of work and has a large workload. During the epidemic prevention and control period, they need to go all out to ensure the safe operation of the data center.

"The work is a little busy, but the inner feelings are more full of sense of accomplishment." Fu Xulun said that new infrastructure is being strongly supported from the national level to the local level. In the future, video communication and driverless driving will all show explosive growth, and people’s lives and work will also usher in great changes. They have also increased their investment in the overall supply of data centers. At present, they are stepping up the construction of the 5G core network, which will be officially put into use in mid-April according to the established plan. Seeing that the project is drawing to a close, they think that they can contribute to the national communication construction. Their hearts are warm and happy.

It is understood that Hebei Mobile actively promotes business transformation, continuously improves the construction of communication information infrastructure, and actively deploys in the fields of mobile Internet, cloud computing, big data and Internet of Things. At present, Baoding Data Center, Langfang Data Center and Shijiazhuang Data Center have been built to effectively support the development of Internet data centers, cloud computing and other businesses. This year, the external power expansion of Baoding data center, Langfang data center and Shijiazhuang data center and the supporting renovation project of computer room will be carried out as needed. At the same time, promote the land acquisition and construction of Zhangjiakou data center. (Reporter Fang Suju)

Jiujiang, Jiangxi: Responding to the "Wheel War" of Heavy Rainfall

  China Meteorological News correspondent Huang Lan reporter Deng Minjia

  Since the beginning of July, Meiyu front has been wandering in the Yangtze River basin. Affected by it, Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province experienced several rounds of heavy rainfall. The water levels in Jiujiang section of the Yangtze River, Xingzi Station of Poyang Lake and Yongxiu section of Xiuhe River exceeded the police in an all-round way, and the meteorological service in Jiujiang City entered a critical moment in flood season.

  On the radar echo map, the long and narrow rain belt lingered over Jiujiang for a long time and refused to disperse. At 8 o’clock on the evening of July 7, the expected rainstorm hit unscrupulously, and a "tug-of-war" between meteorologists and heavy rain began nervously.

  Half an hour later, the rain increased instead of decreasing, and the heavy rain was heavily slapped on the glass window of the duty room with lightning and thunder. "50 mm, the next 3 hours must be more than 100 mm! Please upgrade the orange warning in Hukou and Duchang, and continue to pay attention to preparing to upgrade the red warning. "

  At 3: 30am on the 8th, Mei Ting, the forecaster of the Municipal Meteorological Observatory, was busy giving guidance to the county bureaus in the WeChat working group of Jiujiang Forecast, Early Warning and Joint Defense.

  "Hukou issued a red rainstorm warning!" "Duchang issued a red rainstorm warning!" "Peng Ze issued a red rainstorm warning!" "Lushan issued a red rainstorm warning!" ….. At about 5 o’clock, the red rainstorm warning broke the silence of the city.

  At 6: 50, the meteorological department of the city entered the second-level emergency response state. And this is only three or four days away from the three-level emergency response to the rainstorm at 11: 30 on July 5 and the four-level emergency response to the rainstorm at 8: 00 on July 4!

  With the distribution of meteorological disaster prevention service materials for the deployment of heavy precipitation weather process to all member units, a series of early warning information was quickly transmitted to the mobile phones of flood control leaders and thousands of information officers, and a rainstorm information network was quickly spread among cities, towns and villages.

  The relevant units moved when they heard of the flood. The Municipal Flood Control Office immediately started the preparations for mass transfer, the Municipal Disaster Reduction Committee successively started the early warning response of municipal disaster relief, the Municipal Transportation Bureau implemented traffic control at the important sections of the college entrance examination center, the Municipal Education Bureau issued an emergency notice of suspension of classes, and the municipal departments did a good job in investigating the hidden dangers of disaster-prone points in advance, clearing and dredging drainage ditches, and closely monitoring the hidden dangers of geological disasters … All departments in the city entered the state of emergency preparedness for storm prevention and took measures to deal with them calmly.

  "Fortunately, I received the meteorological service information of the college entrance examination issued by the meteorological department, and prepared umbrellas, rain boots and spare clothes for my children. We also received the college entrance examination English listening forecast service from the Meteorological Observatory. Such a fine service is really intimate and must be praised! " A candidate’s parents left a message in the hotline column of Jiujiang traffic radio party style and political style.

  "After receiving the early warning information from the Meteorological Bureau, we organized village cadres to rush to the village to start the persuasion and transfer of residents." Wang Fan, secretary of Nankeng Village, Jiangshang Township, Yongxiu County, said, "After the heavy rain, several houses built on the mountain were crushed by landslides, but there were no casualties due to timely evacuation."

  As of July 9, Yunshan Reservoir in Yongxiu County increased the opening height of spillway gate to 220 cm, further increasing the discharge flow and ensuring the safety of flood season.

Carrying out meteorological disaster risk survey can promote the development of meteorological disaster risk early warning business.

     Cctv news: On May 18th, the State Council held the first national conference on comprehensive risk survey of natural disasters. In response to a reporter’s question, Wang Zhihua, Director of Disaster Reduction and Public Service Department of China Meteorological Bureau, said that in this natural disaster risk survey, the meteorological department undertook the risk survey of nine meteorological disasters, including rainstorm, drought, typhoon, high temperature, low temperature, wind hail, snowstorm, lightning and sandstorm, among which the wind hail disaster covered strong wind, hail and tornado. China Meteorological Bureau concentrated the excellent expert resources of the whole department, set up an expert group, mobilized the professional and technical backbones of meteorological departments at the national, provincial, municipal and county levels, and actively carried out the risk survey of meteorological disasters. At present, it is being actively promoted and some pilot results have been achieved.

  Wang Zhihua pointed out that it is of great significance to carry out meteorological disaster risk survey to improve disaster prevention and control capabilities.

  On the one hand, we can better find out the risk points, risk areas and disaster thresholds that may be caused by all kinds of disastrous weather. To promote the development of meteorological disaster risk early warning business, we can not only predict tomorrow’s weather, but also predict what impact such weather may have, and where the risk of disaster is high and needs to be guarded, thus promoting the transformation from disastrous weather forecast to meteorological disaster risk early warning, greatly improving the pertinence of early warning information, helping to better play the role of the first line of defense for meteorological disaster prevention and mitigation, and providing stronger support for comprehensive disaster prevention and mitigation.

  On the other hand, the meteorological disaster risk zoning formed by the census can guide the whole society to scientifically set meteorological disaster prevention standards for infrastructure in various regions, which is more conducive to promoting the construction of resilient cities and resilient villages and fundamentally improving the ability to resist various meteorological disasters.

Rural revitalization: stronger agriculture, more beautiful countryside and richer farmers.

In Grain Rain season, spring ploughing is busy in the north and south of the Yangtze River.

China grain, China rice bowl. Behind the roar of agricultural machinery and equipment in spring ploughing is the bumper harvest of grain production year after year, the sustained and stable improvement of agricultural and rural economy, and a good start for rural revitalization.

In October 2017, the 19 th National Congress of the Communist Party of China made a major decision to implement the rural revitalization strategy. On February 4, 2018, the Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Implementing the Rural Revitalization Strategy was released, which is the 15th central document guiding the work of agriculture, countryside and farmers since the new century. The document focuses on the significance, ideas, tasks, policies and requirements of rural revitalization strategy, and raises the flag for rural revitalization in the new era.

Over the past few years, the broad masses of cadres and people have worked hard, and the development of agriculture and rural areas has achieved fruitful results. The rural revitalization picture with prosperous industries, livable ecology, civilized rural customs, effective governance and affluent life has been vividly presented, which has become a "ballast stone" for stabilizing the overall situation of economic and social development and laid a solid foundation for winning the battle against poverty and building a well-off society in an all-round way.

New steps have been taken from smart farming to integrating innovative agriculture to improve quality and efficiency.

During this time, wheat and rape were growing vigorously in the fertile fields of Jiuguan Street in Nanxun District, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province. Tian Shuifang, 48, is a large grain grower in Ganghu Village, Jiuguan Street. From scattered contracting to centralized contracting, his planting area has exceeded 1,000 mu.

"Preparing for farming this year is the easiest time since I farmed." Tian Shuifang said that in the past, he had to call more than 10 casual workers to the fields early this season. At present, during the busy farming season, all kinds of large-scale agricultural machinery and equipment are concentrated, and sensors and pest monitors installed in fields can monitor environmental changes in real time, carry out intelligent early warning and monitoring of pests and diseases, and even organic fertilizers can be customized according to soil conditions.

Based on promoting the quality and efficiency of agriculture and promoting the sustained prosperity of rural industries, Nanxun District has vigorously implemented the rural revitalization strategy to help farmers increase their income, promote the balanced development of urban and rural areas, and lay a good foundation for achieving common prosperity. In 2020, the per capita disposable income of residents in Nanxun District exceeded 48,000 yuan, a year-on-year increase of 6.2%.

A special fruit export record base built according to EU export standards; Yanyuan town featuring high-end medical care, education and old-age care, and Yunxi Mangu with the theme of health care and sports; International timber trading centers covering more than 20 provinces in China; The "One Belt, One Road" cooperation demonstration park with Asian-European amorous feelings, and the village hotel with "international style" … In the rural land of qingbaijiang district, Chengdu, Sichuan, high-standard and modern rural revitalization projects refresh people’s cognition. A large number of leading projects with opening, leading, demonstration, innovation, new economy, headquarters base, etc. are accelerating, and the energy level of the ecosystem with the creation of "national agricultural opening-up cooperation experimental zone" as the core is rapidly improving.

Behind the rapid development of the project, a modern agricultural industrial cluster with new industries and new formats such as deep processing of agricultural products, urban leisure agriculture, rural e-commerce, forest health care, agricultural product logistics, green farming and agricultural cultural creation as the core is taking shape, and the integration of characteristic towns and cultural tourism is expanding the field and boundary of rural industries.

In the rural revitalization, all localities have continuously deepened the structural reform of agricultural supply side and continuously strengthened the construction of modern agriculture, and achieved remarkable results. At present, China’s self-selected crop varieties account for more than 95%, with more than 1 million family farms, 2.225 million farmers’ cooperatives and 893,000 agricultural socialized service organizations, which have become the main force leading the development of modern agriculture; The qualified rate of quality and safety monitoring of agricultural products is stable above 97%, and promoting agriculture by quality and green has become the main theme of modern agriculture.

In 2020, the total grain output in China was 1,339 billion Jin, up 0.9% from 2019, and remained stable at more than 1.3 trillion Jin for six consecutive years. The mechanization rate of crop cultivation and harvest in China reached 71%; The contribution rate of agricultural scientific and technological progress has reached a new level of 60% … A series of data reflect the new vitality injected into agricultural development by the implementation of the rural revitalization strategy.

From environmental governance to rural customs, civilized countryside has become a new home to live and work in peace and contentment.

The roads are clean and tidy, the farmhouses are covered with white tiles, the green plants are scattered, the ponds are crystal clear, and the flowers are fragrant and beautiful … In Liuzhuang Village, Zhangzhai Town, where Qingdun Temple Primary School, a red base in Peixian County, Jiangsu Province, you can see the beautiful picture.

Relying on the red cultural resource of Qingdunsi Primary School, Zhangzhai Town has taken the road of red leading and green development, built a red tourism village with livable, suitable for traveling and suitable for industry, and continuously carried out village environmental improvement around key areas such as neat courtyard, green plants, village appearance improvement, toilet renovation and rural domestic waste treatment.

"The village environment is changing almost every day. Walking out of the house is like walking into a park, which is very comfortable. The party history museum was built in our village, the environment is getting more and more beautiful, and the villagers’ happiness is increasing. " Wang Mingyun, secretary of the Party Committee of Zhangzhai Town, said.

"Garbage is blown by the wind and sewage is evaporated" was once a true portrayal of many villages.

Since the implementation of the rural revitalization strategy, China has vigorously implemented the three-year action of rural human settlements improvement, and relevant departments in various localities have jointly promoted the rural toilet revolution. Up to now, the penetration rate of rural sanitary toilets has exceeded 68%, and the coverage rate of domestic garbage collection, transportation and disposal system in administrative villages has exceeded 90%. The three-year action target and task of rural human settlements improvement have been basically completed. The construction of infrastructure such as water, electricity and telecommunications in rural areas has been accelerated, the level of public services such as education, medical care and old-age care has been continuously improved, and the countryside has taken on a new look.

The village is clean and beautiful, and the villagers’ spirit has also been improved.

In the eastern suburb of Jiangzi Town, Jiangzi County, Shigatse City, Tibet, in recent years, the two committees of the village have mobilized everyone to participate in the formulation of rules and regulations, and written down the rules and regulations for quitting smoking and controlling smoking and not littering. The villagers are actively concerned about village management, attaching importance to education and advocating science has become a new fashion. Zaton, a villager, said: "Everyone is better than eating and wearing, and there are more college students, and the children are better than who can get into a good school!"

Strengthen the protection of traditional villages, ethnic villages and agricultural relics; Strengthen rural grassroots governance and actively mediate and resolve rural contradictions and disputes; Create a new model of good governance in rural areas under the guidance of Party building … All localities have solidly promoted the rural governance system and the construction of rural civilization, and a fresh wind is blowing in the vast fields, making villagers’ lives more comfortable and comfortable.

From policy support to industry to help farmers rush to a rich and prosperous new life

Well-off is not well-off, the key depends on fellow villagers.

It is an important goal of rural revitalization to continuously increase farmers’ income and let farmers’ "money bags" swell up. Entrepreneurship and innovation in rural areas has become an important way to prosper rural industries and increase farmers’ income.

"At last year’s’ Ecological Poyang Lake-Green Agricultural Products’ Guangdong Fair, Shangbao Miguo won the product gold medal, and customers ordered 15,000 Jin at the scene." Liu Jinping, a villager in Chishui Village, Shangbao Township, Chongyi County, Jiangxi Province, said that the sales of rice fruits are increasing, and she has been busy making rice fruits.

Take the initiative to understand preferential policies, visit agricultural experts, and go out for training; Explore more efficient planting methods and increase rice yield; Free distribution of high-quality seeds to farmers; Learn a new sales model, strive to be a "online celebrity", and open up a new channel for online live broadcast with goods … Under the leadership of Liu Jinping, the traditional rice fruit making skills have been better passed down, and the brand of "Shangbao Rice Fruit" has become bigger and bigger, driving farmers to increase their income by more than 2,000 yuan.

If the countryside is prosperous, the farmers will be rich. With the acceleration of rural revitalization, farmers’ income has continued to grow rapidly. In 2019, the per capita disposable income of rural residents exceeded 16,000 yuan, doubling the target of 2010 one year ahead of schedule. In 2020, the data reached 17,131 yuan, an increase of 5,709 yuan compared with 2015.

At the same time, the income structure of farmers is more optimized. Not only farming can increase income, but also going out to work, starting a business in the countryside and revitalizing resources have become new ways to increase income. From the perspective of operating income, the value-added space of agricultural products continues to expand; From the perspective of migrant workers’ income, the wage level of migrant workers is constantly improving; From the perspective of property income, the dividend of rural reform continued to be released, driving the rapid growth of net property income; From the perspective of transfer income, the policy of strengthening agriculture, benefiting farmers and enriching farmers has been continuously strengthened, and the proportion of transfer income has increased significantly.

The sustained growth of farmers’ income is inseparable from the prosperity of the industry, and it is inseparable from the help of reform. Liu Huanxin, Vice Minister of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said that during the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, rural reform continued to deepen, more than 200 million farmers received land contractual management rights certificates, and the "separation of powers" made significant progress, which was extended for another 30 years after the second round of land contracting expired; A new round of rural homestead reform pilot was launched; The verification of rural collective assets has been basically completed, the membership of more than 600 million collective members has been confirmed, and the "four beams and eight pillars" of rural reform have been basically constructed.

The development of urban-rural integration has also taken solid steps, and a unified urban-rural basic old-age insurance system, basic medical insurance system and serious illness insurance system have been established. 95% of counties in the country have passed the assessment of the basic balanced development of county compulsory education, and the level of public employment and entrepreneurship services in urban and rural areas has been significantly improved.

Standing at the new historical intersection, all localities are comprehensively promoting the organic connection between poverty alleviation and rural revitalization, making agriculture stronger, rural areas more beautiful and farmers richer, and breaking the waves towards the great goal of achieving common prosperity for all people.

Sun Zhou’s new work focuses on "leftover women" and Sun Honglei starred in "I do"


Sun Honglei will play the leading role in I Do.


"I do" director Sun Zhou

  The novel I Do by Chen Tong, a best-selling author, has attracted numerous readers. Now, this novel is about to be put on the big screen.

  It is reported that the film "I Do" was invested and filmed by Forbidden City Film and Beijing Fengyi Media, and integrated marketing by Jusi Media. Recently, the relevant person in charge of the film told reporters that although I am willing to focus on the theme of "leftover women" that has been repeatedly involved in literary and artistic works, it is by no means a speculation of leftovers, which not only makes Tang Weiwei, the No.1 woman, break the usual impression that "leftover women are worthless", but also gives her a title that can fight against "bachelor of diamonds" — — "Emerald Tang Weiwei".

  At the same time, the reporter learned that the film has been finalized to be directed by Sun Zhou, with Sun Honglei playing first hero, and female No.1 has also locked in a heavyweight actress.

Story: Turning "Leftover Women" into "Emerald"

  From "Rushing Forward One by One" to "Happiness Knocks on the Door", from "Spring of Zhang Xiaowu" to "Spring of Li Chuntian", these themes of smiling women on the screen are all guaranteed by good stories, and "I Do" is no exception. Its original author, Chen Tong, is famous for her works such as "I really want to fall in love", "The New Marriage Age" and "The Bottom Line for Men". She has a keen insight into the feelings of both sexes and is optimistic about marriage and family on the basis of pessimism. Although her words are cold and cheerless, her views are sharp, but she is full of warm tones and humorous words. Many people rated her as "the first writer of marriage in China". After Wang Hailing, she was another emotional writer who elaborated love and marriage hardships with delicate handwriting, which triggered social thinking.

  When the novel I Do was first published, it was once titled as "leftover women’s novel", "blind date guide" and "raiders of love". This book interprets the reasons for the emergence of leftover women: it is not because they are too educated, too beautiful and too good at work, but because they ignore the core issue — — I can’t meet the man who is willing to let her say "I do". This remake of the film version will not only capture all the existing hot topics about the "Golden Leftover Women", but also make the heroine Tang Weiwei more successful and better than the novel, which is called "Emerald Tang Weiwei".

  Talking about the idea of changing "leftover women" into "emerald women", the relevant person in charge of the film said: "Why are only men who are successful and rich ‘ Bachelor of diamonds ’ ? Those independent, confident and successful women are called leftover women? In our opinion, they can communicate with ‘ Bachelor of diamonds ’ Comparable ‘ Emerald girl ’ . In fact, most of the leftover women are good women, not that they are not outstanding, but that their Excellence makes less outstanding men flinch. "I do" just wants to tell men that leftover women are not so high, inaccessible and elusive. As long as men are brave and pursue a more primitive method, it is not so difficult to pick up outstanding leftover women to be wives. "

  It is reported that in addition to the emotional entanglements between Tang Weiwei and the two leading men, the film also packages the marriage views of married girlfriends, the intimate analysis of ex-boyfriends, and the wedding hunting tactics of attractive colleagues.

Actor: Sun Honglei plays first hero.

  Although "I Do" is an urban romantic comedy, the relevant person in charge of the film told reporters that the film will not be "made small" because the theme seems to be "small sentiment", but will outline a fashionable, modern and atmospheric modern urban background. The emotional topics involved in the film have universal social significance, and most of the protagonists are senior white-collar workers, so the quality of the film must be guaranteed.

  It is reported that the film has built a luxurious behind-the-scenes team. The main people behind the scenes are the first-line elites in the industry, and the shooting venue will try its best to get close to the real world. "This will definitely increase the capital investment, but we are making a film towards the standard of fine products, and the big investment is also to ensure the high quality of the film." The person in charge of the film revealed that it can be made public that "I do" is directed by the famous director Sun Zhou, and domestic first-line actor Sun Honglei will be appointed as first hero.

  In fact, directors Sun Honglei and Sun Zhou have cooperated for a long time. The film they released in 2002 is a classic. It was because of that movie that Sun Honglei suddenly attracted the attention of the audience and quickly jumped into the ranks of first-line male stars. According to reports, after reading the script of I Do, Sun Honglei agreed to join without thinking, a large part of which was due to his trust in director Sun Zhou. When it comes to their reunion after nine years, director Sun Zhou and Sun Honglei are full of expectations, and they also hope that I Will become an emotional masterpiece comparable to Zhou Yu’s Train in artistic quality.

  In recent years, Sun Honglei has frequently appeared in masterpieces by famous directors, and his films are basically both word-of-mouth and box office. In particular, Qiu Rubai and li xiangshan not only helped him get rid of the image of a "tough guy professional", but also praised his acting skills by the industry and the audience. More importantly, Sun Honglei dares to try new types of roles, and harmony is an example of his challenge to himself.

  Regarding his role in I Do, Sun Honglei said that he had played similar roles before, but they were not exactly the same, and he was definitely a very attractive figure. As for which female star will be paired with Sun Honglei in the film, the film said that because Sun Honglei’s strength is beyond doubt, the actress must also have enough aura to set off. At present, they can only reveal that she is definitely a heavyweight first-line female star.
