Observation on regional foreign trade development | Various convenient measures to promote the continuous improvement of foreign trade in the Yangtze River Delta region

  CCTV News:Since the beginning of this year, regional integration in the Yangtze River Delta has continuously improved the toughness and vitality of foreign trade. With the help of innovative logistics system and customs clearance facilitation, the Yangtze River Delta region has overcome the adverse effects brought by the epidemic and promoted the sustained and good development of foreign trade import and export.

  At Jiangsu (Suzhou) International Railway Logistics Center, this train loaded with LCD, semiconductor and other commodities will be sent to Luchao Port in Shanghai and shipped to North America by sea. Here, "sea-rail combined transport" has become the norm. At the same time, in the absence of an airport, Suzhou copied the customs clearance mode of "sea-rail combined transport" with the logistics center as the front cargo terminal, and opened up a new channel of "land-air combined transport" to meet the air freight demand of enterprises.

  The "land-air combined transport" train has also been normalized in Suzhou International Railway Logistics Center, and the daily delivery volume has remained at around 30 tons. At this point, the goods in the logistics center can go out by any combination of "road, railway, air and sea", attracting more and more enterprises from the Yangtze River Delta region to join in. At present, among more than 3,000 enterprises, enterprises outside Jiangsu account for nearly half.

  The export of goods is more convenient, and many cross-border e-commerce enterprises in Shanghai have chosen Hangzhou, Ningbo and other places for customs clearance of imported goods. At Ningbo lishe airport International Cargo Terminal, Wang Wushan, the logistics manager of this cross-border e-commerce company in Shanghai, is receiving the goods that have just arrived from the United States. Wang Wushan told reporters that although the enterprise is in Shanghai, the innovative measures of cross-border e-commerce transit in the Yangtze River Delta region allow enterprises to quickly clear customs in Ningbo, and goods can be shipped directly from Ningbo, and users in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai can receive the parcel delivery information the next day.

  Since the beginning of this year, Ningbo has undertaken many e-commerce businesses spilled from Shanghai and other places. For these imported goods, the local customs actively promoted the cross-border e-commerce transit business in the Yangtze River Delta region and opened various transit channels such as "air-to-air", "air-to-land" and "air-to-sea".

  Various convenient measures have boosted the foreign trade in the Yangtze River Delta region to continue to improve. The data shows that in the first eight months, the growth rate of imports and exports in the Yangtze River Delta region was 1.5 percentage points higher than the national overall growth rate, and its contribution to the national foreign trade growth exceeded 40%, which provided strong momentum for stabilizing the foreign trade market.

My understanding of new retail

A few days ago, I visited Jingdong House and sent a circle of friends:

Visiting the newly-opened Jingdong House (Tongzhou Store) is the landing of JD.COM’s concept of "scene fusion" in the new retail period. I stepped on the spot in advance before the activity started, focusing on the face recognition service, which was terrible and accurately outlined my notes: night owl, technology expert, passionate Aries, addicted to online shopping and so on. And listen to the staff, this service will provide members with more differentiated and customized services in the future.

Soon, my point of view was hit by friends in the circle of friends. Some people said that this was not new retail, but "unbounded retail". Others said that this was O2O retail, and even more, there was no innovation in selling online things offline, which could not be viewed with the concept of new retail.

I have created many new concepts myself, but I never like to get entangled in the concept itself, because all concepts serve consumers. But today, new retail is mentioned by almost every industry. I think it is necessary to talk to you about "new retail as I understand it" with the simplest and most straightforward topic today.

It happened that Tencent News invited me to participate in a discussion on "How to understand the new retail and what new changes it has brought to our lives" online, so this article came into being.

Before expounding my understanding of new retail, I will list some opinions about the more influential concept of "new retail".

The first thing that must be mentioned is Jack Ma of Alibaba. At last year’s Yunqi Conference, Jack Ma delivered a speech saying that the current "e-commerce" will become a traditional concept, and the future will be a "new retail" mode combining offline, online and logistics. Just like, the essence of logistics is not to be fast, but to reduce inventory. Only the real combination of offline, online and logistics can bring more benefits to enterprises. In the future, with the breakthrough of "new retail", through the deep cooperation between Tmall and traditional retail enterprises such as Suning, Intime and Bailian, Alibaba has broken the line between online and offline, and brought the retail industry in China to the door of comprehensive innovation in business form.

Then there is Liu Qiangdong, JD.COM. Liu Qiangdong recently put forward the concept of "the fourth retail", which triggered a wide discussion in the industry. Liu Qiangdong believed that there were three recognized revolutions in the retail industry: department stores, chain stores and supermarkets. The fourth retail revolution is a revolution based on Internet e-commerce and surpassing the Internet, which will bring human beings into intelligent commercial times. In the fourth retail era, the retail infrastructure will become extremely plastic, intelligent and synergistic, which will promote the arrival of the "unbounded retail" era and upgrade the cost, efficiency and experience.

The other is Suning’s "smart retail". Recently, Suning clearly expressed its disagreement with Liu Qiangdong’s fourth-party retail concept, and said that Suning has always advocated "smart retail", thinking that future retail is smart retail, that is, using Internet and Internet of Things technologies to perceive consumption habits, predict consumption trends, guide manufacturing, and provide consumers with diversified and personalized products and services.

In addition, Xiaomi, Huawei, Xinhualian and other enterprises have made their own explanations on new retail in the past two years, and they will not be described too much here.

So, what exactly is new retail? Can you understand this concept in the simplest way?

First of all, let’s look at what is retail. The so-called retail means "buying and selling things from the east to the west, and buying and selling things from the west to the east". In Mulan’s article, "buying horses in the east market, saddles in the west market, bridles in the south market and whips in the north market" is a typical retail model.

In my opinion, the so-called new retail, as its name implies, is an updated retail model compared with the old retail, which is a constantly changing concept. Compared with the ancient barter transaction, the department store that was popular decades ago is a new retail; Compared with department stores, an urban complex like Joy City is a new retail; Compared with Joy City, e-commerce companies such as JD.COM and Tmall are new retailers.

Therefore, our understanding and definition of new retail are different in different periods. I think the concepts of fourth retail and smart retail put forward by Ali, JD.COM and Suning are more advanced than the current e-commerce, and we can regard them as new retail.

Moreover, if we carefully look at the explanations of these enterprises, although they have been verbally angry and dissatisfied with each other, they are actually the same in essence, and they all have such characteristics: online and offline integration, wisdom recommendation, membership system construction, improving logistics efficiency, breaking boundaries, AI application and so on.

These enterprises are the best in China, and the ideas and models they advocate are the future development direction of China retail and even global retail to some extent, and there is no difference in essence. Of course, if you are too entangled in the concept, it is really not desirable. Again, any new concept that consumers can’t understand and apply is hooliganism.

So, since the concept of new retail is evolving in a dynamic way, what is new retail at this stage (2017)? My understanding mainly includes several aspects (of course, my understanding now will be out of date in a few years, and an updated way of presentation will come out):

① Convenient payment: In our current era, convenient payment is our consumers’ deepest perception of the new retail concept, which can directly serve our consumers more than big data recommendation, C2B, scene revolution and so on. Convenient payment means cashless payment. On the one hand, enterprises have third-party payment platforms such as WeChat payment and Alipay. Through their efforts, residents in first-and second-tier cities in China can basically bring a mobile phone to meet all their consumption.

In addition, there are smart payment terminals represented by Wang POS. The emergence of this type of products has gradually subverted the traditional POS machines. As for the more advanced payment methods such as NFC, fingerprint, facial recognition, voiceprint, gesture, etc., they have also been applied to our lives one after another. This has never happened in the business changes of the past thousands of years. This time, China is at the forefront of the world.

② Intelligent matching: This is an era of information explosion, commodity explosion and service explosion, and everything seems extremely surplus. Therefore, accurate intelligent matching has become the direction of our mainstream enterprises in every industry. From today on, we have to find the target users, and of course our users need to find the target products.

The big data push mechanism like today’s headlines is actually a typical new information retail revolution. At the same time, mainstream e-commerce companies, including Ali and JD.COM, have almost launched functions like "Guess what you like", and almost all of these functions recommend products and services that they think users are interested in through the analysis and calculation of big data. However, to be fair, no mainstream enterprise in China can be said to be qualified in intelligent matching, and the current accurate push ability is still at the level of "pushing the user’s urn for one month in a row".

③ User participation: In the past, whether in the era of supermarket or department store, new retail generally referred to the change of circulation, but now the concept of new retail has expanded to the whole process of production, circulation and sales of goods or services due to the technological change of the Internet.

So today, our consumers are no longer simple audiences, but participants. Consumers want to participate in the operation and transformation of enterprises. Many enterprises’ products are no longer developed by their engineers, but developed with users. Such statements as Xiaomi’s "making friends with users, absorbing user feedback through forums to develop products" and LeTV’s "R&D by ten million people, dissatisfaction by ten million people, improvement by ten million people" are actually typical representatives of user participation.

④ Cross-border integration: No matter how to change the three points mentioned above, they are actually the level of "value transfer" rather than the essential "value addition". The landing of the concept of cross-border integration has given our users a sense of benefits of "charging for mobile phones", and they can get other value-added services while purchasing products.

Actually, before I visited Jingdong House (Tongzhou Store), I also went to Suning Square, JD.COM’s old rival Suning. The online whereabouts of the two are really amazing, and even the newly established children’s area and experience area in the store are so similar. In fact, the fitness experience area in Suning Life Plaza and the services such as Suning IT help customers are the brand-new values brought to users by typical cross-border integration. Although JD.COM has just started, there are similar initiatives. These have started to meet our consumers very obviously, and interested parties can know it by visiting the shops directly.

Of course, the performance of new retail is far more than the above. As far as the work that our company has carried out is concerned, it also includes faster logistics and transportation, safer network environment, more dimensional products and services, etc. With the participation of consumers, a large number of ideas will become a reality. In any case, with the deepening of the new retail concept, our consumers will usher in an increasingly transparent business society.

2022 International Integrated Circuit Exhibition and Seminar held 18 major projects in related industries in Nanjing this year.

  From August 16th to 17th, 2022 International Integrated Circuit Exhibition and Seminar was held in Nanjing International Expo Center. Cadence, ADI, Anmou Technology, Imagination and many other well-known international and local semiconductor suppliers and distributors participated in the exhibition to showcase their excellent solutions and products and share the resources of industrial supply chain.

  At the same time, the exhibition held two summit forums and three technical forums, and more than 100 well-known experts and entrepreneurs in the fields of electronics and applications at home and abroad attended and shared, focusing on the frontier topics of vertical industries, covering IC design, SoC design, carbon neutrality, MCU, EDA/IP, efficient power management and wide band gap semiconductor technology.

  For example, the Tenth Five-Year Plan period is the key period for China’s "peak carbon dioxide emissions Carbon Neutralization", which is a challenge and an opportunity for the electronics industry. The 2022 International Carbon Neutralization Electronic Industry Development Summit Forum was held on the morning of 16th, and experts from various fields in the semiconductor industry comprehensively analyzed the "carbon neutrality" policy and market, and empowered "carbon neutrality" from the perspective of semiconductor technology innovation. According to ADI, especially the renewable energy including wind energy and solar energy, building a clean, safe and efficient energy system is in urgent need of an energy storage system, while the energy storage system needs intelligent battery management chips to maximize the working efficiency of the energy storage system and get the best results. Their heavy product, high-precision 18-channel battery management chip, is aimed at the industrial power grid energy storage, standby battery system and high-power portable equipment market, and can measure up to 18 battery cells connected in series, with a total measurement error of less than 3.0mV. Sun Wenjian, CEO of this core technology, believes that as the core productivity of the digital economy, computing power has become the new focus of global strategic competition, and the construction of the next generation of green computing power is also an important part of achieving carbon neutrality. In the current mainstream CPU architecture, Arm architecture has the advantage of low power consumption, which is very consistent with the future development trend of green and low carbon. From the market point of view, the transformation curtain of Arm from low computing power to high performance computing is rapidly opening.

  The EDA/IP and IC Design Forum provides EDA tools and IP solutions for many enterprises involved in IC design. The MCU Technology and Application Forum will bring together technology and application experts in the field of microcontrollers to discuss hot topics such as the latest processor technology, edge AI, emerging applications and ecological development. The 2022 China IC Leaders Summit will be held on the morning of 17th.

  What is the flavor of the year on the trip? It’s a "Happy New Year" from the intersection of different dialects, a warm-hearted move from strangers, a sea of fireworks in the streets and lanes, and an authentic annual custom experience …
  During the Spring Festival, my family and I drove back to our hometown of Xinzhou, and after visiting relatives and friends, we started a short trip to the ancient city of Xinzhou. During the journey, we were busy in the crowd, sensing the changes in our hometown and the temperature of our hometown people, and harvesting the long-lost flavor of the year.
  Local cars are polite to foreign cars.
  Showing "Shanxi temperature" between advance and retreat
  As a well-known scenic spot in Shanxi, the passenger flow of Xinzhou ancient city during the Spring Festival holiday surged, and the demand for accommodation, catering and parking lots was in short supply, which not only tested the reception capacity of the ancient city, but also tested the hospitality of local people.
  February 13th, the fourth day of the first lunar month. At about 17 o’clock, the reporter drove to the ancient city of Xinzhou and went to the parking lot at the south gate of the ancient city. The vehicles had already queued up. "You see, girl, there are so many foreign cars. The ancient city of Zhangzhou is really famous in the country. " Father said proudly. Sure enough, nearly half of the vehicles in the queue are foreign licenses, including many vehicles from Shaanxi, Henan, Beijing, Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Sichuan.
  The short-term influx of traffic in the evening is very dense. Although the parking lot has entered the state of "one person is hard to find" several times, the parking of vehicles has always been orderly. When I turned around, a scene of local cars giving way to foreign cars was being staged.
  "Well, there are two parking spaces there. You stop first, and then we’ll find a parking space." Seeing that there were two parking spaces vacant ahead, Mr. Peng, who was driving a Xinzhou license car, warmly greeted the owners of Su-brand and Beijing-brand vehicles next to him, and drove the car into the parking space that was hard to wait for. The owners of the two foreign license plates were very touched and thanked them again and again. Mr. Peng’s eyes narrowed and he smiled. "You’re welcome. Happy New Year! Welcome to Zhangzhou! " "Happy New Year! Happy New Year! " This response from you to me seems to be like visiting relatives in the New Year. It is kind, natural, simple and warm.
  "It is normal to be crowded in the New Year, but it is not easy for many foreigners to visit the ancient city of Xinzhou. Some of them may still have a tight schedule. If you stop early, you can play for a while, visit the ancient city, see the night view, taste the food and feel our New Year atmosphere in Xinzhou." After stopping the car, I had a short conversation with Mr. Peng, and the hearty and honest Shanxi people flowed between their words. "Far away are guests! We locals don’t care about this short time. Let’s play less today and come back another day. "
  Courtesy to foreign cars, far away are guests, "Shanxi temperature" is highlighted here. This scene reminds me of a sentence: the beauty of adults can make us beautiful together. Isn’t this between the advance and retreat of parking a true portrayal of Shanxi people’s minds and patterns? Isn’t it one of the "most beautiful scenery" on the way for tourists to travel to Shanxi?
  The performance of playing while the iron is hot is bursting with popularity.
  Brilliant Interpretation of "Chinese Romance"
  "There are thousands of trees in the east wind night, and the stars are like rain." This is a vivid description of the scene of beating iron flowers by Xin Qiji, a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty. Playing while the iron is hot is the oldest fireworks in China, and it is also a Millennium legacy. During the Spring Festival, the fireworks show in Xinzhou Ancient City attracted many tourists to watch, and people felt the authentic China Year among the sparks.
  Walking into the ancient city of Xinzhou, passing through the brightly lit and crowded streets and ascending the stairs along the winding and secluded path, you come to the "stage" where the iron is spent-the tall and magnificent Yishige in the West Garden of the ancient city. As the time approached 19: 30, more and more people gathered in your Excellency Yishi. The scene was crowded and lively, and the tourist team could not see the end at a glance. Some people pick up their children and hold them high above their heads to seize the visual "commanding heights"; Some people stand on tiptoe, craning their necks to look at them; Some people are walking around with their mobile phones, looking for the best shooting spot … Everyone is waiting for this "different fireworks" in different postures.
  Tie Hua is a folk cultural performance skill discovered by China ancient craftsmen in the process of casting utensils. It began in the Northern Song Dynasty and flourished in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and has a history of more than a thousand years. While the iron is hot, flowers are mostly spread in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, and Shanxi is one of the popular areas.
  At 19: 30, accompanied by the music, the professional florist threw the molten iron at 1600℃ into the air. As the florist struck the molten iron in the air hard, thousands of sparks were scattered instantly, and it dripped down from Yishige like a waterfall, which was shocking and beautiful. In the next 15 minutes, the spectacular scene of colorful, flaming trees and silver flowers continued. One iron flower rose into the sky, and another one followed, and the rods were connected, as dazzling as the goddess scattered flowers and Venus flashing, which was amazing. "Wow!" Whenever a wave of iron flowers blooms in the night sky, people around them scream in unison.
  "Lights in Shanxi, thousands of years. In this Chinese-style romance full of sparks, it seems that I have seen a glorious and splendid historical river and a prosperous chapter of thousands of years of lights. " Friends from the same industry shared this shocking performance in the circle of friends. I believe that this is his taste of the year, and it is also the common taste of many people; This is his voice, and it is also the common voice of many people.

If you don’t change your shoes and enter the pool, the bacteria will exceed the standard by 5 times. Is this the same with the swimming pool you went to?

  Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, August 8th Question: Did you go to the swimming pool without changing your shoes, the bacteria exceeded the standard by 5 times, and the lifeguard deserted? — — Investigation on hidden dangers of safety and hygiene in swimming places

  Xinhua News Agency reporters Yan Zhihong, Li Yuze, Dong Xiaohong and Yang Na.

  It’s midsummer, and swimming and fitness are very popular. Not long ago, the National Health and Wellness Commission issued the "List of Unqualified Places for Swimming Pool Water Quality Spot Check in Some Cities (First Batch)", which showed that some swimming pools in many cities were not up to standard.

  National Fitness Day is coming, is there any hidden danger in the swimming pool you choose? What skills can help us choose a safe and hygienic swimming pool? Xinhua news agency reporters launched an investigation for this.

  Chaos, Dirty and Danger: There are still many "swimming" problems in various places.

  A few days ago, a suspected chlorine leak occurred in a swimming pool in Fangshan, Beijing, which caused many people to feel uncomfortable. At the same time, it made people feel palpitation, but it did not stop people from questioning whether the swimming pool around them was safe and hygienic. The reporter conducted field visits and investigations in Nanjing, Chengdu, Xiamen and other places, and found that there are still obvious hidden dangers in many swimming pools.

  — — "Chaos". During the visit, the reporter found that some swimming venues did not publicize relevant information as required, and some swimming pools did not properly implement the cleaning procedures before entering the pool. In the Yingpaisi Swimming Pool in Gulou District, Nanjing, the reporter found that except for the residual chlorine content and water temperature of the venue, the self-inspection items stipulated in the national health standards such as the pH value and testing time of the swimming pool were not publicized, and other important data directly related to the health of swimmers, such as turbidity, carbon, total bacteria and coliform bacteria, were not announced. The reporter also saw that many visitors crossed the disinfection and sterilization facilities and directly entered the swimming pool. In addition, there are many people who directly wear slippers or even enter the pool without changing their shoes at all.

  — — "dirty" The total number of bacteria in some swimming places exceeded the standard, causing adverse reactions among minors. "Several dolls in the class vomited and diarrhea after swimming." Many parents told reporters that after their children learned to swim in the miracle gym in Xindu District, Chengdu, they developed symptoms of fever and upper respiratory tract infection. According to the sampling results of local law enforcement departments, the total number of bacteria in the swimming pool water of the museum reached more than five times the upper limit of the standard value.

  — — "risk" Some swimming pools are not equipped with life-saving personnel, and some lifeguards "desert". In the Yingpaisi Swimming Pool in Nanjing, the reporter found that during the peak hours of passenger flow on the weekend afternoon, there was no lifeguard in the audience for a long time. When some lifeguards are on duty, they often leave their posts or talk and laugh with their backs to the pool for a long time.

  Excessive profit-seeking, poor management and weak supervision have become the main causes of "swimming"

  The reporter’s investigation found that excessive profit-seeking, poor management and weak supervision are the main reasons for the safety and health hazards in some swimming venues in many places.

  Some swimming venues ignore safety and hygiene standards in order to reduce costs. According to the requirements, swimming venues should be cleaned once a month. A coach of Nanjing Yingpaisi Swimming Pool revealed: "Swimming pools in the market are simply difficult to do." He told reporters that it takes two or three days for a small and medium-sized swimming pool to change water, and it takes longer for a large swimming pool. Not to mention the cost of changing water, the time cost is unbearable for commercial swimming pools. Therefore, in order to maximize profits, some swimming pools often try to reduce the frequency of changing water and washing pools.

  In addition, some swimming pools "hide" in the community, so it is difficult to implement dynamic supervision. Wu Xiang, deputy head of the Environmental Health Supervision Brigade of Chengdu Health and Family Planning Supervision and Law Enforcement Detachment, said that although the facilities and environment of swimming pools (gymnasiums) in some communities are "superior", there are many water quality problems. For example, the residual chlorine value is lower than the national health standard, and the foot soaking pool does not meet the relevant health standards. He said that this swimming pool is usually "hidden in the building" and it is very difficult to implement dynamic supervision.

  In addition, the rapid increase of passenger flow in summer and the lack of hard constraints on uncivilized swimmers are also the causes of the problem. In the Xiamen Workers’ Sports Swimming Pool, the reporter saw that the current water permeability of the swimming pool was significantly lower than other times. To this end, Chen Hong, deputy director of Xiamen Workers’ Cultural Palace, explained that the current peak season ticket prices are low, and the sudden increase in passenger flow has brought great pressure to management. The museum replaces more than 100 tons of fresh water for the swimming pool every day, but it still can’t eliminate the pressure of maintaining water sanitation. In addition, Chen Hong also said that there is currently a lack of hard constraints on uncivilized behavior in swimming pools. "We can only euphemistically discourage related uncivilized behaviors, and there is nothing else we can do."

  In addition, the reporter also learned that due to the lack of effective due diligence supervision mechanism for lifeguards, lifeguards "deserted" a lot, which increased the safety risk.

  Master these tricks and choose a safe and hygienic swimming pool.

  The staff of relevant authorities in many places reminded that ordinary swimmers who want to choose a safe and hygienic swimming venue for "cool summer" must master certain skills to identify the safety index because of the lack of professional testing equipment.

  The first is inspection. The majority of swimmers should take the initiative to check whether the health permit is hung in a conspicuous place and check whether it is within the validity period. We should try our best to know the health quantitative grading rating, the history of water quality sampling and the real-time self-inspection of water quality in swimming places in time, and pay special attention to whether the safety equipment and personnel in the venues are in place, so as to choose a suitable swimming place.

  The second is the view. Observe whether the sanitation around the swimming pool is clean, bright and ventilated, and whether there is water in the drainage ditch. Besides, it depends on the color of the pool water. If the residual chlorine content in the swimming pool is normal and the water quality is excellent, then the pool water is bright light blue. And the water in the pool should be crystal clear to the naked eye.

  The third is to smell. Is close to the surface of the water to smell the smell of water, if you can smell the faint smell of chlorine, it is qualified, and the medicine is too strong or even choking, then the concentration of available chlorine may exceed the standard.

  The fourth is feeling. After entering the water, if the water quality of the pool is excellent, it will feel soft. If it feels hard and astringent, or even itchy, the water quality may be poor.

  At the same time, a number of swimming venue operators have called for the majority of swimmers to consciously swim in a civilized way and jointly safeguard the health and safety of swimming pools. They suggested that the management department should introduce hard restraint measures against uncivilized swimmers who have repeatedly taught, so that civilization can be implemented and the pool can be cleaned.

  In addition, the reporter learned that swimmers can also check the sanitary condition of the swimming pool around their location through some apps, and can check the water temperature, pH value, average daily water change rate, residual chlorine in the swimming pool and so on.

Brake failure is mostly caused by wear, leakage or insufficient air pressure, so regular inspection and maintenance are needed to prevent it.

When I stepped on the brakes, I found that the brakes were useless, the speed of the car did not decrease at all, and the brake failure was very dangerous. What is the cause of the brake failure? How should we avoid it? Many times, brake failure is actually a precursor.

First, if the brake suddenly hardens, it is likely that the vacuum booster pump fails to work, so it is necessary to check whether the vacuum booster pump is damaged or falls off.

Second, the brake suddenly becomes soft and treads like cotton. This situation may be caused by brake oil leakage due to brake oil pipe damage.

Third, when stepping on the brake, the pedal is soft and hard, and the strength is big and small. It may be that the brake oil enters water or air, and the brake oil should be removed or replaced in time. It may also be that the vacuum booster pump is aging or damaged.

Fourth, the steering wheel wobbles when you step on the brakes. This situation may be uneven grinding and excessive runout, so it is necessary to replace the brake disc in time.

Fifth, when you step on the brakes, the steering wheel deviates. This is because the brakes on one side are not working or the braking force is getting smaller. Check the brake calipers in time.

If you think it’s useful, remember to like it and pay attention to it. Braking is no small matter. If these things happen to your car, you must check it in time and don’t take any chances.

A 25-year-old boy has no heart for 555 days: artificial heart maintains life to change heart.

  In the past 18 months, few people have noticed that Stan Larkin is a man without a heart.

  This 25-year-old black guy has a thick body, likes to hang out with his younger brother and always takes his three young children to the park to play. He looks like a normal man.

  The only special thing is that he always carries a gray backpack and never leaves his body for 24 hours. Go out, carry your bag on your back, even if you sit down for a haircut, put it at your feet.

  Two pipes came out from the corner of the backpack, penetrated into Larkin’s clothes, buried under his ribs and connected to his "heart". As early as 2014, Larkin’s heart was removed and replaced by a Total Artificial Heart made by Syncardia Systems, Inc The backpack is filled with a portable driving device that provides power for it.

  To put it simply, this backpack and all-artificial heart system maintain Larkin’s life.

  It was not until May 9th that he transplanted a donor’s heart at the frankl Cardiovascular Center of the University of Michigan that he finally unloaded the backpack.

  Cynthia’s total artificial heart handed out the baton, successfully ending its 555-day term.  

  "Many people may be afraid of using artificial hearts, and what I want to tell you is that you need to overcome this fear because it will help you." Before leaving the hospital, Larkin described this journey as a "roller coaster" when sharing his experiences with the public at a media meeting. He feels that he can recover quickly after surgery, thanks to the escort of the total artificial heart while waiting for the transplant.

  "I feel like I can jog now." The man who just changed his heart two weeks ago said with a smile.

  A machine will become my heart, think about it, a machine.

  Larkin never thought that a man could live without a heart, let alone this happened to himself.

  He hesitated for half a month before agreeing to the doctor’s treatment plan to install a total artificial heart for him. "A machine is going to be my heart," he said with an incredible expression. "Think about it, a machine!"

  But he had to accept the machine. At the age of 16, Larkin went into shock on the basketball court without warning. Soon, he was diagnosed with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy.

  In human body, the heart promotes blood circulation throughout the body through the relaxation and contraction of atrium and ventricle. Larkin’s disease will make the myocardium of the right ventricle be replaced by progressive fibrous adipose tissue, which will cause the right ventricle to expand and not contract normally, which will lead to arrhythmia and even sudden death.

  "The best choice for him is to receive a heart transplant." Jonathan Gaft, Larkin’s attending doctor and frankl Cardiovascular Center of the University of Michigan, said, "But at the same time, we feel that his condition is changing very fast, and he may not wait for the day when his matching donor heart arrives."

  According to Billy Coen, director of the Technology and Innovation Center of Texas Heart Association, some patients with advanced heart failure often have to wait for months or even years to get a suitable heart source. Because the heart is too weak, key organs including kidneys and liver are likely to fail in the process. Without some forms of support such as artificial heart, many patients will die while waiting. According to the data provided by the American Organ Acquisition and Transplantation Network (OPTN), 49% of people on the waiting list for heart transplantation have to wait for one year or more.

  Larkin’s situation is getting worse. After developing from right ventricular dysplasia to total heart failure with bilateral ventricular involvement, his left and right ventricles could not effectively collect and pump blood. He was so weak that he could hardly get into the car by himself.

  Prior to this, the doctor implanted an automatic cardioverter defibrillator for him. When necessary, it will send electrical pulses to "activate" the regular operation of the heart. However, after the illness worsened, this commonly used cardiac auxiliary equipment was not enough to maintain Larkin’s life.

  In November 2014, after a series of physiological tests, the doctor decided to remove Larkin’s heart and implant a Cynthia artificial heart to replace the original left and right ventricles and four valves.

  This new "heart" is a pneumatic bicentric pump. After connecting with Larkin’s atrium, aorta and pulmonary artery, it began to perform its duties. As a mechanical heart, it can pump 9.5 liters of oxygenated blood per minute, which is beyond the ability of ordinary healthy heart and close to the level of athletes.

  There is no sensor or engine in Larkin’s body. Through two pipes, the electric external driver transmits oxygen and creates vacuum, controls the synthetic material membrane separating air and blood in the ventricle of the total artificial heart, and pumps blood to the whole body.

  "Tick-tock … … Tick-tock … …” This machine has accompanied his life all day. With each accurately calibrated compressed oxygen pulse, the driving equipment in the backpack makes a strong, stable and rhythmic sound, which sounds like a fast horse galloping through the hard road.

  A few weeks later, Larkin, who was used to the noise, finally fell asleep with it. "It kept me alive," he said. "That’s it ‘ The sound of heartbeat ’ 。”

  Larkin is challenging the limits of this equipment.

  Two days before Christmas in 2014, Larkin walked out of the hospital with his family and became the first person in Michigan to leave the hospital with a total artificial heart.

  "Although there is a backpack connected to my body, it’s like a real heart," Larkin joked. "It feels like I’m going to school with a backpack full of books on my back."

  Like every ordinary person celebrating Christmas, he went shopping in the shopping center, went to church to participate in activities, and accomplished something he had been longing for for for a long time — — Picked up the basketball with the device that kept him alive.

  Gaft, the attending physician, took a deep breath when he saw the pictures of him dribbling.

  "This artificial heart is not designed for playing street basketball," Gaft said. "Larkin is really challenging the limits of this equipment." 

  Hu Shengshou, academician of China Academy of Engineering and president of Fuwai Hospital, introduced in an article that artificial heart broadly includes ventricular assist devices and total artificial heart, in which ventricular assist devices are mainly left ventricular assist devices. 

  It has been 80 years since the Soviet scientist De Mihov transplanted the artificial heart into dogs in 1937. In 1969, American doctor Cooley completed the first successful total artificial heart transplant in Texas Institute of Medicine, and assisted the patient with a total artificial heart for 64 hours before the heart transplant.

  In China, the related blood pumps being developed by Tianjin TEDA Cardiovascular Hospital, Beijing anzhen hospital and Suzhou University are still in the animal experimental stage. There is no breakthrough report on the development of total artificial heart in China.

  Cynthia total artificial heart is recognized as the most successful of more than 10 kinds of total artificial heart devices that have been published so far. Ten years ago, it was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as an auxiliary treatment before heart transplantation. It is also the only total artificial heart certified by the United States, Canada and Europe for clinical application.

  Although Larkin, who came home with Cynthia’s artificial heart, can’t move completely freely, for example, the electric drive device connected to him prevents him from standing under the shower, picking up children or carrying them around his neck as usual, all this is very rare.

  When the total artificial heart was just implanted, two pipes drilled from Larkin’s left rib were connected to a driving device called "Blue Giant".

  It weighs 188 kilograms and looks like a washing machine. This means that Larkin can only be tethered to the hospital by this cumbersome machine until it takes the doctor months or even years to find a matching heart donor for him.

  Fortunately, in June of that year, this small and portable all-artificial heart drive device newly developed by Syncadia Systems was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration. Larkin’s "washing machine" was replaced by a "backpack", so he no longer had to be trapped in the hospital. 

  "When eligible patients become stable, they can switch to portable drives," the production company said. "It provides patients with a wider range of activities and allows them to return to their families and communities to wait for a matching donor heart." It is powered by two lithium-ion batteries and can be recharged with a standard power socket or an adapter of a car.

  This equipment, weighing about 6 kilograms, was named "Freedom".

  In order to permanently replace the human heart, it has to overcome many technical difficulties.

  It seems that Larkin is doing well with a total artificial heart. At home, he doesn’t need more treatment, as long as he eats a low-sodium diet and takes blood-thinning drugs to keep healthy. Of course, as a person with a total artificial heart, he has to be like a robot and can’t leave the power supply for too long — — The lithium battery in the equipment is enough to run for 3 hours.

  However, total artificial heart is only used as an alternative transitional treatment before heart transplantation, and it can not be maintained for a long time. Cynthia’s total artificial heart, which is at the forefront of the industry, is also starting the clinical trial of permanent artificial heart transplantation.

  Academician Hu Shengshou introduced that although heart transplantation is the best treatment for many patients with end-stage heart failure who can’t be treated by drugs or surgery, it is still the goal pursued by the medical community for many years to use artificial heart instead of natural heart because of the limitation of heart source and the fact that heart transplantation is not suitable for patients under 40 years old.

  Although the current research is more and more advanced, in order to permanently replace the human heart, the total artificial heart has to overcome many technical difficulties. For example, as an artificial mechanical device, it does not have the self-repairing function of human heart, and it is impossible to stably simulate the heart beating more than 100,000 times a day for a long time without wear.

  "Larkin is still waiting for a heart transplant, and we hope to transplant him as soon as there is a suitable donor. During this period, he can return to health in some normal life at home, and when the opportunity comes, he will be transplanted in the best condition. " Dr Jonathan Gaft said.

  In order to serve the heart of this substitute, Larkin’s family took over most of the work of the nurse. The mother, who was afraid of touching two pipes at first, was used to often changing the bandage covering the entrance of the pipe for her son.

  "We have to be careful so that he won’t get infected," she said. "Now, I’m a professional."

  After 555 days of being accompanied by Cynthia’s total artificial heart and "freedom" drive equipment, Larkin finally got a heart from a donor.

  Now, in his chest, a fresh human heart is beating steadily.

  This is the third heart he experienced, which made him feel "reborn". "You can stop worrying about small things and do many things that you once thought you could never do again."

  Including hugging his three children again.

  "They will attack me," the father showed a spoiled smile. "They can’t wait for a long time. They will hang in front of my neck, jump on my back and ride on my neck. In short, they will run around me. " China Youth Daily Zhongqing Online Reporter Chen Yinan

Spend money to eat prefabricated dishes in restaurants, who became a big injustice?

Titanium media note:This article comes from WeChat WeChat official account Netease Digital Reading (ID: datablog163), by Su Wanshui, authorized by Titanium Media.

After Luo Min, the originator of campus loan, invited Jerry and Fu Seoul to bring prefabricated dishes, the prefabricated dishes caused a new round of controversy. In mid-September, in the "Oriental Selection" live broadcast room, the founder of Zhigang think tank shouted that "prepared dishes are pig and dog food".

Prefabricated dishes, a term that has a sense of existence in this year’s public opinion field, refer to semi-finished dishes that are prepared in advance and can be eaten simply by heating or frying later.

Precast dishes have been blown to the air, and "kitchen black holes" have found "spring" for cooking, but some people have a slight complaint — — This kind of fast food, which runs counter to the traditional eating habit of focusing on freshness, will eventually make Chinese food lose its soul and change the taste buds of Chinese.

When consumers feel that life is surrounded by something, capital with a keen sense of smell must have swarmed, just like prefabricated dishes.

There is no doubt that in the past two years, the industry of prefabricated vegetables has really caught fire. According to NCBD data, in 2021, the scale of the prefabricated vegetable industry will exceed 300 billion [1], and even some institutions predict that it will be a trillion-dollar track [2].

Among the players in the pre-cooked food track, whether they are cooking home-cooked dishes, focusing on vegetables, focusing on seafood, western food or hot pot and other special dishes, or even doing supply chain, they are all favored by investment institutions.

According to our statistics, from 2021 to the first half of 2022, there were at least 56 investment and financing events of prefabricated vegetables, accounting for 17% of the 334 public financing events in the catering industry during the period [3] [4].

Among them, tens of millions of levels of financing are the mainstay, but there are also billions of dollars in business. For example, in March of this year, Lu Zhengyao, who left Ruixing, participated in the establishment of the Tip of the Tongue Hero, and received 1.6 billion Series B financing [5].

In January of this year, the Tip of the Tongue Hero was officially launched, claiming that it would open 5,000 stores this year. Although there were only over 400 stores in July, people from all walks of life always paid close attention to whether the Tip of the Tongue Hero could become a lucky star in the catering industry [6].

According to the statistics of China Chain Store & Franchise Association, the amount of financing flowing into the prefabricated vegetable industry in the past year and a half can account for 10% of the financing amount of the catering industry [7]. "Prefabricated dishes" can also be compared with "meta-universe" and "carbon neutral", and together with them, it will become the most concerned track for investment institutions in the first half of 2022 [8].

Capital is willing to invest, and provincial policies are also overweight. Under such a good environment, there are more players on the track, and the start-ups, transformations and cross-border competitions are on the same field. By April 2021, Weizhixiang was listed, and the "first stock of prepared vegetables" in A shares successfully ran out.

In the year of 2021, Weizhixiang achieved revenue of 765 million yuan, up 23% year-on-year, and at the same time, 133 million net profit was returned to the mother, up 6% year-on-year [9].

Making prefabricated dishes can really make money. In fact, Weizhixiang, whose market is concentrated in East China, has achieved double growth in revenue and net profit in recent years. In the first half of 2022, the operating income of Weizhixiang reached 378 million yuan, and the net profit returned to the mother increased by 14.58% year-on-year.

Like the tip of the tongue hero, Weizhixiang also focuses on retail channels. In the first half of 2022, there were 1,522 franchise stores and 645 cooperative dealers nationwide [10].

If you often go to the vegetable market, you may be familiar with Weizhixiang, because the retail channels of Weizhixiang are mostly distributed in various vegetable markets and farmers’ markets. It is in the vegetable market that the founders Xia Jing and his wife observed the pain points of office workers’ trouble in washing vegetables and made their fortune [11].

But at the same time, Wei Zhixiang is also trying to walk on two legs, expanding the business of wholesale and direct sales to catering enterprises, and selling half of the dishes to hotels, restaurants, etc. In the first half of 2022, the revenue of wholesale channels accounted for 26.35% [12].

This is because consumers’ buying habits of prefabricated dishes are still in the training stage, but the use of prefabricated dishes in restaurants has already matured.

In recent years, prefabricated dishes have caught fire, and many people have also appeared in their homes. But in fact, prefabricated dishes have already "invaded" chain restaurants.

"28 separation" is the actual situation of this industry — — The ratio of B-end market to C-end market is about 8:2. According to China Chain Store & Franchise Association, at present, more than 85% of the sales channels of prefabricated vegetables are concentrated in B-end [7].

In other words, most of the prepared dishes flow to the central kitchen of the restaurant, and after being processed by the central kitchen, the prepared dishes in the form of semi-finished products continue to be delivered to various stores and finally delivered to the diners’ tables.

In 2020, 68.3% of the chain catering brands with more than 10 stores are already using the central kitchen [13].

In the survey of China Chain Store & Franchise Association, the proportion of prepared food in some head Chinese fast food companies can be close to 100%, such as Kungfu, while the proportion of prepared meals in Xibei Youmian Village and Xiaonanguo has reached more than 85% [7].

Moreover, compared with in-house food, take-away food is the growth soil of prefabricated dishes, and meals can be served simply by stir-frying, so merchants can not worry about overtime. The braised pork rice or pickled fish you ordered for lunch is probably a heated frozen fast food.

Pre-cooked dishes, a standardized product, are a perfect match with chain restaurants that pursue scale and take-away industries that pursue timeliness. The chain rate of restaurants in China is increasing, and the proportion of online take-out industry in the catering industry will reach 21.4% in 2021.

It can be predicted that as chain restaurants and takeout become more and more common, diners will be more likely to eat prefabricated dishes.

Why are prefabricated dishes so popular with chain restaurants? The reason is that prefabricated dishes can help them achieve "reducing costs and increasing efficiency".

Through the central kitchen, we can ensure the uniformity of products and reduce the risk of quality control, and the speed of eating will be accelerated, and we can entertain more guests in fixed business hours, and the revenue will naturally increase.

On the other hand, using prefabricated dishes, the kitchen in the back of the store heats it up and simply stirs it, which eliminates the need for chefs to operate, and the required manpower is also reduced, which greatly saves labor costs.

According to the calculation of China Chain Store & Franchise Association, the labor cost of restaurants will be reduced from 22% to 10% before and after using prefabricated dishes. Although the cost of raw materials will increase to some extent, the overall profit will still increase.

If it is a takeaway, the kitchen area can be further reduced and the rent cost can be lowered.

High rent and high labor are two big problems in the catering industry, both of which are solved by prefabricated dishes.

No wonder jian li, the founder of Xin Spicy Road and the chairman of Xinliangji, published bold opinions on his short video account that "in the next 10 years, 90% of chefs will be killed by prepared dishes" and "in the next 10 years, 90% of restaurants must use prepared dishes" [14].

Under the domination of assembly line production, the role of Chinese chefs has indeed been greatly reduced. If the taste is good, the power will be vested in the preparers of prefabricated dishes, and only a small number of chefs can get this "honor", while a large number of ordinary cooks know how to turn on and off the fire.

China Newsweek once reported that a 45-year-old skilled chef lost his job because his owner chose a new location in a shopping mall that restricted the use of open flames. "It may only take two minutes to heat up the prefabricated material package in 5 yuan and sell it in 25 yuan. From this point of view, the boss really doesn’t need to raise me again "[15].

Catering enterprises reduce costs and increase efficiency, but consumers are not willing — — Isn’t it the original intention of us to go to the restaurant all the way to eat the fresh and hot dishes cooked by the chef, even if there are occasional flaws?

The taste of the prepared dishes is mostly the same, and diners eat too much, and they slowly taste the clues.

In the first half of this year, "the use of prefabricated dishes in take-out and in-house meals without telling customers" became a widely complained problem, and the China Consumers Association criticized it by name, pointing out that it damaged consumers’ right to know and choose [16].

In August this year, CCTV’s Tianxia Finance reported that over 80% of chain restaurants in Guangzhou use prefabricated dishes [17], while in Shanghai, the users of prefabricated dishes even include Michelin restaurants [18].

After hearing this, a group of gourmets were thunderstruck, and related topics on social media were filled with their anger and disappointment.

The hottest controversy is that "prefabricated dishes unify the taste of restaurants". As prefabricated dishes continue to "invade" restaurants, different restaurants taste the same and have no pot gas.

Some people accuse restaurants of eating too ugly, and consumers pay the price of fried food. As a result, they get cheap fast food on the heating line, which is obviously unacceptable to consumers.

Indeed, if you go out for a meal, you can’t eat fresh ingredients and the chef’s unique skills. Anyone feels that he is a "big injustice". To suffer such a crime, it is better to order takeout or make instant noodles by himself.

When it comes to family use scenarios, solitary people who have "one person to eat" are too lazy to cook or young couples who "support their feet" want to eat some new tricks, and they may not be able to make cheap, delicious and relatively healthy meals with the help of prefabricated dishes.

They are not cheap — — Over 70% of consumers will choose to buy pre-cooked dishes above 21 yuan, and more than 14% will spend more than 40 yuan.

And they may not be so healthy — — A 258-gram prefabricated dish contains more than 2600 mg of sodium, which is too high [19].

Of course, these security risks may be solved with the improvement of industry norms, and the categories and tastes of high, medium and low-end markets will be richer and the prices will be more reasonable.

The emergence of prefabricated vegetables is the product of market demand, and the pace of life in modern society is fast. It is really convenient for many "workers" who don’t have enough time to wash vegetables, chop meat and marinate for seasoning.

However, it has always been lamented that when one day, the family kitchen is deeply invaded and the catering industry is heading for assembly line production in an all-round way, private and fresh delicacies will decline, and the "mother’s taste" will be nowhere to be found. The non-standardized and attractive Chinese food has also been eroded by industrial civilization.

No one hopes that the next "eat drink man woman" will not have the eighteen martial arts of steaming, frying, boiling, stewing and stewing, which are pleasing to the eye of Lao Zhu, but only the fancy way of tearing the packaging bag of prefabricated vegetables; Or the next "Gourmet" doesn’t have golden wisps of Buddha clothes, roasted geese in Gankun, and ecstasy rice, but only pre-made barbecued pork rice with heating time in place.

Service upgrade! "Warm Home" has become a warm home for truck drivers.

"Tired, have a rest."

In Chengdu Qingbaijiang Micro-products Liandahai Industrial Park, truck driver Ye Qinghua took advantage of the cargo gap and walked into the 24-hour "rest station". The temperature in the station is suitable, and the facilities and equipment are readily available. Ye Qinghua opened the refrigerator, took out a bottle of frozen mineral water and gulped it down. "It’s very convenient here. The canteen next door also provides meals of 2 meats, 2 vegetarian dishes and 1 soup. You can eat them for free by scanning the code."

Qingbaijiang is the seat of Chengdu International Railway Port, and the trains between China and Europe (Chengdu and Chongqing) are galloping, attracting many modern logistics enterprises to settle down and simultaneously expanding the group of truck drivers. As one of the busiest logistics industrial parks in Chengdu, Dahai ranks first in the city in terms of storage capacity, distribution capacity and truck flow. Every day, thousands of trucks loaded with goods come in and out from here, transporting tens of thousands of tons of goods between Chengdu and other cities.

In view of the characteristics of large mobility and scattered aggregation of truck drivers. In 2022, Dahai Industrial Park opened the "Rongouyi Warm Heart House", which provided one-stop services such as parking and maintenance to meet the needs of truck drivers who want to "drink hot water, eat hot meals, take a hot bath and sleep well". Last year, combined with the business model of truck drivers in the park, Dahai Industrial Park launched several "rest stops", with air conditioners, televisions, water dispensers, recliners, books and newspapers, which further upgraded the service model of "Warm Heart Home". According to Li Lianglun, director of Chengdu Dahai Comprehensive Management Department, after the launch of the "rest station", truck drivers use the station service more than a thousand times a month.

Since 2021, Sichuan has explored a new path of high-quality development of the industry with "wheel party building", and innovated to create an upgraded version of the driver’s home-the "warm-hearted home" for truck drivers. At present, 26 related points have been built. According to the person in charge of the Sichuan Provincial Department of Transportation, the "Warm Home" is laid out along highways, ordinary national and provincial roads, logistics parks and inland ports in the province. According to the plan, 37 "Warm Home" points will be built in Sichuan before 2025, realizing full coverage of the main freight logistics channels in the province. On the basis of broadening the points, more considerate services are also being launched.

Jintang Service Area of Chengde South Expressway has established the first "warm-hearted home" for truck drivers in the province. In the "warm-hearted home", the laundry and drying area, shower area and kitchen area are well-equipped, providing drivers and passengers with services such as bringing their own bedding to stay at the minimum of one yuan, and the "one meat and two vegetables" box lunch sold in the service area is at the minimum of ten yuan, striving for convenience and practicality.

"This is the warm home of our truck driver."

"The space is clean, the service is good, the bath is very comfortable, and the mood of the sports car is good."

……

On the register of "Warm Heart House", the truck driver expressed his affirmation of this service through a series of real messages.

On this basis, in 2023, the Jintang service area of Chengde South Expressway launched the Warm Heart Health Service Station, which opened up a safe, healthy and green rescue channel to provide health promotion, emergency rescue and safety guarantee to the drivers and passengers in the past service areas.

Warm Heart Health Service Station is equipped with automatic external defibrillator (AED), sphygmomanometer and standing medicine box. Jintang Service Area, in conjunction with county transportation department and health department, has opened a medical green rescue channel nearby and provided a special telephone for green rescue. In case of emergency, the service area staff can contact the local hospital ambulance personnel and quickly link to medical resources, so that the drivers and passengers who are in urgent need of treatment can get the most timely and fastest medical treatment.

In January of this year, Ms. Wang, a driver and passenger, was sent to the post station by her friends because she was flustered, short of breath and weak. In the post station, the staff gave Ms. Wang a simple care and contacted the hospital through the emergency phone. It took only 14 minutes. The ambulance arrived at the post station and transferred Ms. Wang to the hospital for treatment.

"The service station is committed to rapid discovery, timely treatment and effective treatment of patients, and provides a safe and healthy travel service experience for drivers and passengers in all directions." According to Yue Dongxue, director of Jintang Service Area of Chengde South Expressway, in the early stage, they conducted emergency rescue skills training to improve the self-help and mutual rescue ability of the service area in response to emergencies and accidental injuries. It is convenient for rapid discovery, timely treatment and effective treatment of patients. "Provide a safe and healthy travel service experience for drivers and passengers in all directions." She said.
