On June 12, at the fixed-point sorting and dropping point of domestic garbage in the steel ball community of Jiulongpo District, residents dropped garbage under the guidance of sorting garbage inspectors.

On June 10th, the smart platform for garbage sorting in Liangjiang New Area can monitor the correct delivery rate, points and other data in real time.

On June 12, in the Steel Ball Community of Jiulongpo District, the recycler was cleaning up the garbage in the recyclable smart box.

On June 18, in the community of Tianhumei Town, Renhe Street, Liangjiang New District, the staff were cleaning up perishable garbage.

　　All the pictures in this edition were taken by reporter Zhang Jinhui except the signature.

On July 1st, it was called the strictest garbage sorting measure in history — — With the implementation of "Regulations on the Management of Domestic Waste in Shanghai", garbage classification has become a hot word that has set off major websites and gossip in the country.

Shanghai’s promotion of waste sorting is real, and Chongqing’s waste sorting is also accelerating. At present, the garbage classification system in the main urban area of our city has covered more than 1.1 million households in 43 towns and 306 communities. The overall level of waste sorting in Chongqing is above the average in 46 key cities in China, and it is temporarily in the forefront in the west.

In 2020, Chongqing will carry out domestic waste classification demonstration in 50% of streets and towns and 30% of administrative villages in urban built-up areas.

Zhu Xinglong, general manager of Nanjing Zhida Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd., has often staged a "Tale of Two Cities" recently. At the end of June, he just attended the press conference that Zhida was selected as a gazelle enterprise in Nanjing in 2019, and flew to Liangjiang New District in Chongqing to learn about the company’s pilot waste sorting in Yuanyang Street and Dazhulin Street.

Zhu Xinglong is a "crab eater" in the field of garbage classification in Chongqing. In 2009, he established the first private garbage sorting and recycling station in our city — — Chongqing Hengao Environmental Protection Technology Development Co., Ltd. tried to classify garbage in the main city for 5 years, but the loss was more than 10 million yuan. In desperation, he moved to Nanjing and found business opportunities, and the company developed into a national garbage sorting enterprise.

In 2014, when Zhu Xinglong left Chongqing, there were less than 20,000 residents and less than 80,000 people in the main city of Chongqing. Today, the number of residents in the main city participating in the waste sorting pilot has expanded to more than 1.1 million households and millions of people.

From losing Chongqing to returning to Chongqing for gold digging, Zhu Xinglong, the "king of garbage", went back and forth, which reflected the change from "cold" to "hot" in the pilot garbage sorting in our city in the past 10 years.

In the past, garbage was exchanged, and now intelligent garbage collectors enter the community.

Zhu Xinglong still remembers it vividly: in 2009, when he tried to classify garbage in Jiulongpo District, he adopted the extensive classification method of garbage exchange — — Residents call, and the company’s garbage sorter comes to the door to sort, weigh, pay and take away the waste and send it to various resource recycling centers. In order to attract popularity, Zhu Xinglong also engages in some activities from time to time, such as changing mineral water bottles for eggs and changing waste newspapers for paper.

Ten years later, Chongqing’s garbage sorting method has become fine.

Recently, the reporter saw in the No.7 residential area in the Mid-Levels of Jiulongpo District that an intelligent garbage recycling system was set up in the residential area. The words "waste paper", "metal", "textiles" and "plastic bottles" were written on each collection box, and it was clear which window should be put in which kind of garbage.

"Every household has a smart card. As long as the garbage is put correctly, the card will get points." Wang Lanfang, a resident of No.7 residential area in Mid-Levels, said that one kilogram of cardboard is 100 points, and each plastic bottle is 4 points … … The community also has a point exchange machine like a vending machine, where residents can exchange towels, soap and other daily necessities.

Since the intelligent garbage collector entered No.7 Mid-Levels, the community has a garbage sorting instructor, and the accuracy of residents’ garbage sorting has increased to 82%. However, there are still many households who question whether the classified garbage will be mixed and transported.

This kind of worry is not unreasonable.

The Research Center for Environment and Economic Policy of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment has conducted a survey on the behavior of household garbage classification. Respondents think that "garbage is not classified when it is transported centrally, and there is no need to classify it", accounting for 59.6%; "I don’t know the progress and results of garbage disposal after classification, and I have no sense of accomplishment", accounting for 34.5%.

In response to these concerns of residents, Chongqing has made some efforts.

In the Steel Ball Community of Jiulongpo District, the reporter saw that the garbage bins in this community were regularly classified and placed at fixed points, indicating the collection and transportation time and transportation direction of each kind of garbage — —

Perishable garbage is collected and transported to Jiangbei Heishizi kitchen waste treatment plant from 9: 00 to 10: 00 every morning; Other garbage is collected and transported to the solid waste transfer center of Chendang Road from 9: 00 to 11: 00 every morning, compressed and then sent to the garbage incineration power plant; Recyclable materials are collected and transported from 2: 00 pm to 5: 00 pm every day and transported to Chendang Road Solid Waste Transfer Center; Harmful waste, it is collected and shipped once a month.

"The Sanitation Group is equipped with 520 sanitation transport vehicles, and each type of collection and transportation vehicle can only collect and transport its corresponding garbage type, and there is video surveillance throughout the transportation." He Yongquan, chief engineer of Environmental Sanitation Group, introduced that the Group has also installed a life cycle management system for waste sorting in some communities. Tap this intelligent system and enter the corresponding garbage classification card number, so residents can know the detailed information of garbage loading time, transportation and treatment.

The pilot is easy to popularize, but it is difficult to classify waste in Chongqing. There are three obstacles.

In China, it is easy to pilot waste sorting, but it is difficult to promote it continuously, and Chongqing is no exception.

Many people in the industry believe that the residents’ participation rate needs to be improved, the collection and transportation system is not perfect enough, and the classification and disposal are not thorough enough, which are the three "obstacles" in the process of garbage classification and promotion in our city.

"The most difficult thing to break through in garbage classification is the source classification of residents." Zhu Xinglong said that the company used the big data system to analyze the characteristics of people involved in garbage sorting, and found that 70% of residents were over 60 years old, and 10% were middle-aged people around 40 years old.

Not only that, tens of thousands of smart garbage collectors are not available in every community. For example, there are more than 60,000 pilot households in Yuzhong District, and only about 10 sets of smart garbage collectors are installed.

"It is a technical job to divide hundreds of kinds of garbage into recyclables, perishable garbage, other garbage and harmful waste." Mr. Zhang, who lives in Ranjiaba, said that he noticed that Chongqing has not yet developed an App or program to help residents sort garbage.

The difficulty of garbage sorting in Chongqing also stems from the terrain limitations of mountain cities.

According to an industry insider, many cities in China have launched the action of "withdrawing barrels", thus forcing citizens to develop good classification habits. There are many high-rise buildings in Chongqing, and citizens are not used to throwing garbage downstairs. It is unrealistic to carry out a large-scale "barrel withdrawal" operation.

A set of data also confirms the problem of insufficient coverage of garbage classification in our city.

At present, the proportion of households covered by the pilot project of domestic waste classification in the main city is 23.58%, which is lower than the average proportion of households participating in waste classification in 46 key cities determined by the state, which is 38.3%.

In addition to the front-end classified delivery link, Chongqing is also facing confusion in the back-end classified collection, classified transportation and classified disposal.

Integrating the classified collection and transportation system of garbage with the recycling system of renewable resources is conducive to improving the efficiency of classified collection and transportation of domestic garbage and resource utilization. However, Fu Yuechao, a researcher at the Development Research Center of the municipal government, found that high-value waste products such as copper, aluminum and cartons are "fragrant cakes", and enterprises are scrambling to collect them, but waste furniture, foam, glass bottles, milk boxes and batteries are neglected. "Cleaning glass and milk cartons is troublesome, which increases the recycling cost. Recycling batteries, medicines and other harmful waste, enterprises need qualifications, and it is difficult for ordinary enterprises to take over. "

Another phenomenon that can’t be ignored is that although Chongqing is in the forefront of the country in terms of waste incineration power generation and kitchen waste treatment, with an average daily treatment of about 2,000 tons of kitchen waste and more than 8,000 tons of waste incineration power generation, harmful waste’s disposal is still a "short board".

According to the information provided by the Municipal Bureau of Ecology and Environment, there are currently 63 hazardous waste management units in the city, with the utilization and disposal capacity of 1.345 million tons/year. The demand and capacity of hazardous waste disposal in the city have not been completely matched, and the collection, transportation and transit storage facilities and equipment in harmful waste need to be further supplemented and improved.

43 towns and streets carried out pilot projects to incorporate garbage classification into urban management target assessment.

With the drastic measures of garbage sorting in Shanghai, all major cities in China are "smelling garbage and dancing", and Chongqing is also actively preparing for the test of garbage sorting.

"This year, there are 43 streets and towns in the main city to pilot waste sorting, accounting for 47% of the total number of streets and towns." According to a person from the Municipal Urban Management Bureau, in order to promote the garbage sorting work, the city implemented the "Measures for the Management of Domestic Waste Classification in Chongqing" in January this year, requiring transport units to refuse to transport if they find that the delivery and collection of domestic waste do not meet the classification requirements and refuse to rectify.

At the same time, the city has established a system of "monthly dark investigation, quarterly evaluation", "monthly report and quarterly notification", and each district in the main city has a classification work leading group or joint meeting system. The Municipal Urban Management Bureau also conducts unannounced visits and special law enforcement actions from time to time, and incorporates garbage classification into the evaluation content of urban management objectives.

In order to guide more people to participate in garbage sorting, the city has established a "four-level" instructor system for cities, districts, towns and communities, organized activities such as "municipal demonstration of youth volunteer service" and "hands-on" in garbage sorting, and compiled and printed a classification knowledge reader for children, primary schools and middle schools.

Many departments in Chongqing are engaged in the craze of garbage sorting — —

The Municipal Development and Reform Commission supports the construction of PPP projects in the field of waste sorting, and actively builds an investment and financing pattern of "government-led, market-driven and diversified investment";

City, District Housing and Urban-Rural Construction Committee will incorporate the classification of domestic waste into the supervision and inspection of property enterprises, and urge property enterprises to implement waste classification;

The Municipal Bureau of Ecology and Environment strives to build (rebuild and expand) five hazardous waste centralized incineration and landfill projects and seven medical waste disposal projects in 2020, and add more than 11,300 tons of medical waste centralized disposal, basically realizing the matching of hazardous waste disposal demand and capacity in the city;

The Municipal Commission of Commerce will accelerate the "two-network integration" of the renewable resource recycling system and the domestic waste classification collection and transportation system, and strive for each waste classification and recycling demonstration site to have renewable resource recycling enterprises to recycle in time.

At the same time, a number of "short-board" sanitation infrastructure projects are also being promoted. As soon as the end of this year, Xiajiaba large-scale garbage secondary transfer station in Yubei District will be put into use. By then, the total transfer scale of the three major domestic garbage secondary transfer stations in the main city (the other two are Zouma in Jiulongpo District and Jieshi in Banan District) can reach 9,600 tons/day. Our city is building the largest and most comprehensive waste sorting and utilization industrial park in Yubei — — Luoqi Vein Industrial Park, covering an area of about 5,000 mu, can treat kitchen waste, fruit and vegetable waste, building waste and general industrial waste at the same time after it is put into use in 2020.

How to push experts to make suggestions on garbage classification

Zhu Dajian, Director of Institute of Sustainable Development and Management, Tongji University:

In the past, garbage sorting was often carried out by the sanitation department alone, but now it needs to be coordinated. The responsibility of individuals and units should be clarified through legislation, and the garbage classification should be changed from government solo to social chorus.

Fu Yuechao, researcher of Chongqing Municipal Government Development Research Center:

Without a prosperous industrial ecology of garbage sorting, it is difficult for garbage sorting to become a reality from ideas, regulations and requirements. We should fully consider the reality of garbage collection and transportation in China and build an industrial chain from classified delivery to collection, transportation, disposal and use, and policy support should cover the whole industrial chain. For example, cities such as Nanjing subsidize the recycling of low-value waste such as glass, and Chongqing should speed up the introduction of policies to subsidize the recycling of low-value waste.

Professor Liu Guotao, School of Urban Construction and Environmental Engineering, Chongqing University:

Many people think that garbage sorting is low in science and technology, which is a misunderstanding. Big data and Internet of Things technologies can be applied to the field of garbage classification. Enterprises’ participation in waste sorting may not be profitable in the short term, which requires the government to provide supporting policies to encourage enterprises to apply scientific and technological achievements to waste sorting.

It should be noted that garbage sorting should also be promoted from the source. At present, Shenzhen encourages enterprises to simplify the packaging of goods and raise the threshold for disposable goods to enter the market. These practices are worth learning from Chongqing.

Reporter’s Notes "

Fight the "tough battle" of garbage sorting

Liao Xuemei Cui Yao

Garbage classification is the embodiment of a city’s civilization. After the early promotion pilot, many citizens realized the importance of garbage sorting. The reporter believes that garbage sorting is not only a protracted war, but also a tough battle, and we must not take it lightly.

Practice has proved that it takes time to change residents’ consciousness and living habits. From the experience of Japan and Taiwan Province, it will take about 20 years to reach the consensus of more than 90% people on garbage classification. Only by publicizing the knowledge of garbage classification in schools and units in a down-to-earth manner and doing a good job in the pilot of each street and each community can the trickle flow into the sea.

Winning the tough battle of garbage sorting requires the joint efforts of the government, enterprises and citizens. First of all, citizens should establish a sense of classification, and let garbage classification education enter the campus and the community, and cultivate all parties to develop the habit of garbage classification; Secondly, the government should actively explore ways to use the government to purchase services, give preferential treatment to taxes and fees, give priority to purchasing recycled products, and introduce social capital and strength to actively participate; In addition, it is necessary to establish a long-term mechanism for garbage classification through legislation and compulsory means. In this way, the idea that garbage classification is a new fashion can be deeply rooted in people’s hearts, and more enterprises can join the craze of garbage disposal.

　　"Without a fitness card, I feel as if I am out of the times." As an old customer of the gym, Mr. Hu, a Shanghai citizen, works out at least three times a week.

　　As early as October 1st, 2009, the State Council’s National Fitness Regulations came into effect, and August 8th of each year was designated as National Fitness Day. With the gradual improvement of people’s living standards, fitness has gradually become a popular lifestyle, and gyms have mushroomed.

　　According to public information, the number of gymnasiums in China has maintained a high growth since its appearance, from nearly 3,300 in 2010 to more than 5,000 in 2017. It is estimated that the number of gymnasiums in China will reach more than 5,800 in 2018, and the number of members is expected to further exceed 10 million.

　　Some experts believe that the "National Fitness Regulations" has been issued for 9 years, but the supporting implementation rules have not been formulated at the national level. For fitness activity sites and sports clubs, the regulations only provide principles. Up to now, only the Beijing Municipal Sports Bureau issued the Safety Management Standard of Beijing Gyms more than ten years ago (for trial implementation), and gymnasiums in other places are basically in a state of no compliance. "Due to the lack of laws, the seemingly prosperous fitness market contains hidden concerns. The operation of many gyms can be described as chaotic, and the qualification certificates of fitness instructors are also varied. "

　　Salesmen sell cards and get commissions.

　　"There is a new gym near the community, which costs only 1600 yuan a year. It’s a good deal!" Xiaomei, a white-collar worker in Guangzhou, happily shared the good news with her colleagues.

　　Because of her busy work, Xiaomei often doesn’t eat on time, overeating at every turn, and her figure is completely out of shape. Looking at the dynamics of a big wave of show figures in the circle of friends, my heart is inevitably lost. This time, Xiaomei made up her mind to start the road of fitness, and readily paid money to become a VIP member of the gym.

　　"Intelligent equipment, beautiful environment and rich courses can be experienced for three days for free … …” Looking at the leaflets handed over by the health card salesman, I feel that I have "picked up a big bargain". However, Xiaomei was happy for a few days, and a message from WeChat group broke her inner peace: "Members of the gym pay attention, the annual card of 1,600 yuan is only a junior member, and she can only exercise from 3 pm to 4 pm every day, and no other time." Surprised, Xiaomei called the gym and got the same answer.

　　"Why didn’t you say it at the time of payment and didn’t write it in the contract? Isn’t this cheating consumers?" Under Xiaomei’s questioning, the salesman told her that if she wants to exercise all day, she must be upgraded to a senior member, and the senior member is 3600 yuan a year.

　　"I wanted to exercise, have a good body and a good mood. This is good, and it will be blocked if I can’t exercise." There are more than 100 fitness enthusiasts who have the same experience as Xiaomei. However, considering that the money has already been paid, many members choose not to care, just as a lesson.

　　The reporter learned from Xiaomei that at the beginning of the card, the salesperson did not clearly tell her these restrictions. "When a member proposed to return the card, the salesperson only suggested that there was a small line on the back of the contract, which said that 30% penalty would be charged for returning the card. I didn’t notice it before." Xiaomei has a feeling of being fooled in an instant.

　　The reporter found that subway entrance, shopping mall entrance and residential area … … But in densely populated places, you can always see some gym salesmen handing out leaflets from time to time.

　　"If you want to sell your fitness card, you must be persistent." Xiaoqiu, who started to contact the fitness industry three years ago, is a salesman. Through these years of close contact with the fitness industry, he has become familiar with all kinds of hidden rules in this industry. From the beginning, he had nothing to earn more than 10,000 yuan a month, relying on selling fitness cards. At the peak, he persuaded nearly 100 people to apply for cards a day.

　　Xiaoqiu also revealed that some fitness clubs will engage in false propaganda, and the actual situation in the store is not as glamorous as the publicity materials. Many effect pictures are found from the Internet, and the designers make typography and beautification, giving people a feeling of "being tall", which in turn induces consumers to apply for cards.

　　Insiders told reporters that a fitness club has been open for 30 to 40 days, and its sales can often reach 2 million yuan to 3 million yuan. For such high sales, the credit goes to the salesman. For salesmen, the basic salary is very low, and their income basically depends on the commission from selling cards, so they will use high discounts and exaggerating the quality of publicity services as bait to attract consumers to apply for cards, so as to get high wages. "90% of the fitness clubs have access control, members need to punch in, and some will take a camera photo to verify whether the cardholder is a member himself or not to prevent someone from lending it privately. This is to protect their way of making money, so that more people can get cards, and they will earn more. "

　　Unlicensed operation is widespread.

　　It is understood that the traditional gym has existed in China for twenty or thirty years, but the business model has not changed much. At present, "membership card+private lessons" is still the main source of gym income. The reporter found that as the main force of selling classes, the performance of coaches directly determines their income. Therefore, many coaches have turned into "class sellers".

　　In March of this year, Luo Xin set up a two-year fitness card in a gym in downtown Ningbo, which cost more than 4,000 yuan.

　　"When I went to the gym on the first day after I got the card, the coach enthusiastically helped me to test all the indicators of my body, saying that my constitution was too poor, so I had to buy private lessons if I wanted to exercise effectively." Luo Xin said that one private education class should be handed over to 450 yuan, while the general private education class is sold in 12 classes. According to this charging standard, the cost of private education class is higher than that of the annual card, so it was politely refused.

　　"I’m still short of 4,000 yuan this month, so you can help me finish the task!" Luo Xin made a rough statistics. The fitness instructor sold her private lessons for more than 10 times before and after, and finally he couldn’t bear to complain before he could stop.

　　However, when Luo Xin walked into the gym again, she found that many exercise rooms in the gym were occupied by private teachers and ordinary members could not enter. "When we applied for the card, we promised that all our equipment could be used, but now we treat it differently. We are also ridiculed for not buying private lessons." When Luo Xin proposed to return the card, the store tried every means to shirk it.

　　Many members told reporters that "if you don’t buy private classes, the treatment in the gym is obviously much worse, and there is a feeling of being left out."

　　"Fitness instructors are all committed to selling fitness classes. If they don’t buy courses, they will naturally ignore you. In fact, some coaches will gradually get worse after their members buy classes. Sometimes they play mobile phones in class and shorten the class time. It is common." Xiao Hu, who has been engaged in the fitness industry for many years, told reporters.

　　Wang Gang, who just graduated from college this year, is a member of a gym in Hangzhou. As a newcomer, he wants to improve the training effect by asking a personal trainer. After experiencing several private lessons, he found that the teaching method of private education was not suitable for him at all, and even fell down several times while guiding training, and his fingers and bones hurt for many days.

　　"When I proposed to drop out of class, the coach actually said that it was common to get injured during exercise. After a long time, my body adapted." Wang Gang looked helpless and began to doubt the real level of the coach.

　　For fitness coaches, the National Fitness Regulations classifies them as social sports instructors, which are divided into two types: "not for the purpose of collecting remuneration" and "taking fitness guidance as a profession". The former implements the technical grade system, while the latter implements the vocational qualification certificate system.

　　On September 12, 2017, Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security announced the Catalogue of National Vocational Qualifications, clarifying that among the "social sports instructors", only four high-risk project jobs such as swimming, skiing, diving and rock climbing were included in the access category of compulsory certificates; Other social sports instructors, including fitness instructors, aerobics, sports dance, equestrian, taekwondo and other 43 jobs, are included in the category of national vocational qualification evaluation without compulsory certificates.

　　A person in charge of a gym in Shanghai told the reporter of the Legal Daily that according to the new regulations, fitness instructors belong to the national vocational qualification of level evaluation, which is only the basis for employers to judge the recruitment of talents and promotion of professional titles. "The gold content is not as good as before."

　　The reporter went to the gym on the third floor of a large supermarket in Beijing, only to see that the hall was filled with treadmills, spinning bikes and other fitness equipment. Some members practice on various instruments, while several coaches in gray jerseys stare at them and occasionally come forward to demonstrate. The whole gym covers an area of about 3000 square meters, and it is divided into yoga area, fitness equipment area, spinning area and bathing area for male and female guests by glass. In front of several glass houses, there are signs that "non-private members are not allowed to enter".

　　The reporter saw in the publicity column that the main projects of this gym include aerobics, boxing, folk dance, jazz dance and aerial yoga. Among the profiles of 15 fitness instructors, there are 9 titles at most and 4 titles at least. According to field statistics, there are more than 20 kinds of qualification certificates, which can be said to be varied. Such as national professional qualification certificate of fitness coach, professional fitness instructor certificate of China Bodybuilding Association, AASFP Asian fitness instructor certificate, Pilates senior coach, EPTC extreme slimming coach qualification certificate, senior private fitness coach certificate, personal fitness coach vocational skills training certificate, sports nutritionist qualification certificate, China bodybuilding independent trainer certificate, social sports instructor certificate (fitness coach), all-round personal trainer expert certificate, IVT biological rehabilitation certificate, etc.

　　The reporter asked to see the business license of the gym on the grounds of getting a card. Liu Peng, a membership consultant, claimed that the business license was at the company headquarters, and added a reporter’s WeChat, saying that it would be scanned before being sent to the reporter. But since then, there has been no news from Liu Peng.

　　The insider told the reporter that in the past, to start a gym, you had to go to the sports department to apply for the Sports Business License, and then go to the administrative department for industry and commerce to apply for a business license. After the country later included fitness coaches in the national vocational qualification of level evaluation, only sports with strong professional skills, great danger and great social influence went to the sports department. "At present, in the national fitness market, only swimming is strictly regulated by the sports department. In general fitness programs, the phenomenon of operating without a license is still relatively common. "

　　Some experts believe that the national professional qualification certificate for fitness coaches issued by Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and the Personnel Department of the State Sports General Administration is the only officially recognized authoritative qualification certificate for fitness coaches in the national sports industry. The state explicitly requires that social organizations such as trade associations and societies, enterprises and institutions carry out their own ability level evaluation activities according to market needs, and may not license and identify qualifications in disguise. Certificates may not use the words "People’s Republic of China (PRC)", "China", "China", "country", "national" professional qualification "or" personnel qualification "and the national emblem.

　　A personal trainer who asked not to be named said that the threshold for personal coaching is quite low. In some training institutions, it often takes only 5 to 7 days of training to get the relevant qualification certificate as a coach. "Only 42% of the people who are engaged in fitness coaching in gymnasiums are graduates majoring in physical education, and most of them only obtain relevant vocational certificates after one to three months of training. Although the illegal licensing and identification of fitness instructors’ qualifications is almost open, the regulatory authorities have never investigated it. "

　　It happens when gym owners run away.

　　Walking around the company twice every day after lunch, Ms. Wu in Shanghai is even exercising. However, due to years of desk work, many occupational diseases have fallen behind. At the beginning of this year, under the persuasion of friends, Ms. Wu walked into the gym. But it didn’t take long for trouble to come.

　　"I felt good in the first few months of fitness here, but since this summer, the gym has not even turned on the air conditioner, and the smell of sweat is suffocating. It is of no help to report it to the staff. And you can’t take a shower after the fitness. The staff said there was no natural gas. I want to complain, but I don’t know where to go? " Since then, Ms. Wu’s enthusiasm for going to the gym has been seriously frustrated, and she only goes once or twice every month.

　　Time flies in September. On the way to send her children to school, Ms. Wu suddenly found that the gym where she handled the card became a maternal and child shop. Ms. Wu entered the store and asked, and the owner of the maternal and child store told her that the owner of the gym had run away because he owed high rent and utilities.

　　The reporter followed Ms. Wu to the property company to inquire that since 2017, Boss Li of the gym has defaulted on the rent on the grounds that the capital turnover is not open. "Every time he is urged, he will pay one or two thousand yuan, which has never been paid." Manager Fan of the property company told the reporter that it is roughly estimated that the rent and tax owed by Boss Li should be around 500,000 yuan.

　　In the face of the boss of the gym leaving without saying goodbye, Ms. Wu hasn’t recovered for a long time.

　　According to relevant media reports, 60% of fitness clubs in China are losing money to varying degrees, and individual businesses maliciously circle money and run away, which happens from time to time in the fitness industry. According to incomplete statistics, the owners of more than 20 gyms in Beijing have run away in the past three months.

　　"A gym that was engaged in discount activities a month ago suddenly closed down after 20 days, leaving only a notice on the door, but the contact number written on it has been turned off." The gym that handled the card suddenly closed, which made Yang Li, a fitness expert in Chaoyang District, Beijing, feel at a loss. "In July this year, it was reported that the gym was going to close down. At that time, I still didn’t believe it, and now the gym really has a problem."

　　What makes Yang Li feel depressed is that since he can’t continue to exercise, how to deal with the fitness card? Fortunately, this gym is a chain store and there are other branches. So Yang Li and other members came to another chain gym to find the person in charge and ask what was going on.

　　"The boss is away, and the company has already informed all the members that the gym has been transferred." In the face of members’ questions, a staff member came out to explain. However, members have said that they don’t know about the transfer of the gym. When the staff saw it, they had to say that they would give everyone a satisfactory answer later, but they could not give a clear answer time.

　　Such a reply made Yang Li feel awkward: "I am afraid that the money for the fitness card will be wasted."

　　Some insiders have analyzed that at present, there are more gyms, but the survival rate is not high. There are two reasons for the closure: First, the gym has invested a lot in the initial stage, and if the funds are not fully prepared, it is easy to break the capital chain; Second, vicious competition. If several gyms are very close and there is not enough differentiation, they can only fight price wars in order to attract customers, and the final result is to disrupt the market.

　　Xiao Dongping, a lawyer in Beijing, analyzed, "The gym owner runs away. If there is executable property under the boss’s name, it needs to be auctioned by the court to provide compensation to consumers. However, from the past cases, it is difficult for consumers to obtain compensation through civil litigation, because the litigation cost is much higher than the advance payment lost by consumers, and it can only be lost in the end. "

　　Cartography/Li Xiaojun　　

　　Beijing, 24 Nov (reporter Fan Weichen from Zhongqing Daily, Zhongqing.com) Today, Beijing Education Examinations Institute announced the Scoring Standard for Physical Education and Health Assessment of Compulsory Education in Beijing (hereinafter referred to as "Scoring Standard"), which was put into use in the senior high school entrance examination in 2024.

　　In December, 2021, Beijing Municipal Education Commission issued "Beijing Compulsory Education Physical Education and Health Assessment Scheme", which not only increased the process assessment, but also greatly adjusted the content of on-the-spot examination, further expanded the number of items, and adopted the method of classifying and restricting the selection. It was divided into four categories and set up 22 examination contents, of which the first category (quality item 1) middle-distance running events (1000m for boys and 800m for girls) were required.

　　According to reports, compared with the original on-site examination items of the senior high school entrance examination for physical education, on the one hand, Beijing has scientifically adjusted the original item standards, including five items: 1000 meters for boys, 800 meters for girls, pull-ups, sit-ups and solid balls, among which four items, 1000 meters for boys, 800 meters for girls, pull-ups and sit-ups, are also the National Physical Health Standards for Students (revised in 2014) On the basis of comprehensive analysis of the data of physical education senior high school entrance examination, sampling test and unified test since 2017, according to the national students’ physical health standards, it is adjusted according to the principle of "reaching good is full score". On the other hand, the standards for newly added items are formulated scientifically, and the 17 newly added items are also formulated in accordance with the principle of "reaching good marks means full marks", with reference to the National Physical Training Standards, sports-related standards for senior high school entrance examinations in other provinces and cities, empirical data analysis and expert argumentation opinions. The new project is not more difficult than the original project.

　　"The purpose of physical education entering the senior high school entrance examination is not to assign children three or six grades through the examination, but to give physical education ‘ A place ’ Let parents realize the importance of good health and physical exercise. " Zhang Shuang, an expert who participated in the demonstration of scoring criteria and dean and professor of the School of Education of Capital Normal University, said.

　　According to the Beijing Education Examinations Institute, considering the characteristics of many examination items, many candidates’ choice combinations and different requirements for venues, the examination room will be arranged according to the candidates’ choice combinations and the characteristics of each item. In terms of examination organization, each district will organize the implementation according to the principle of "unified examination time, unified examination items, unified examination rules, unified grading standards, unified venue equipment settings and equipment standards". Each test center is equipped with relevant areas such as candidate assembly area, preparation area, examination area and rescue area, reasonably arrange the examination venues and equipment for each project, and scientifically plan the examination path. During the examination, candidates will be organized and guided by special personnel according to the project and grouping situation to ensure that candidates complete the examination according to the optimization process.

　　　　　　 CCTV News:Recently, a shocking scene happened in a shopping mall in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province. The monitoring screen showed that a baby was riding a walker and walked alone towards the escalator with a height difference of five or six meters. In a blink of an eye, the baby overturned and rolled down the escalator together with the walker. At the moment when the child rolled out of the picture, a figure quickly "turned around" from the downward direction of the elevator and stepped onto the escalator in the upward direction where the baby was, and the child was taken.

　　　　　　 The monitoring screen restores the incident.

　　　　　　 Surveillance shows that at noon on the 18th, a 9-month-old child stepped on the walker, left his family’s sight and came to the escalator. Suddenly, a thrilling scene happened. The child boarded the escalator with people and cars, and then rolled down. Just then, a young man in black flew up the escalator and caught the child.

　　　　　　 Liu Xiaoyan, the mother of the rescued child, said: "I went in for about ten seconds. The child was on her own. Because she was close to the elevator, she slipped in at once. Her child didn’t understand, so she fell off the ascending elevator."

　　　　　　 It is understood that the parents of young children run a restaurant in the shopping mall. Because there are many customers at noon, they are busy and don’t keep an eye on the children. When she comes out, her daughter has disappeared.

　　　　　　 Liu Xiaoyan, the mother of the rescued child: "The man jumped over and pushed it up to my little treasure. When he pushed it up, they left."

　　　　　　 The child’s mother was already scared at that time, holding the child to comfort, and the guy who saved the child quietly left.

　　　　　　 The rescue boy is an active noncommissioned officer

　　　　　　 Due to the sudden incident, the parents of the child did not have time to thank the man who saved the child. Subsequently, the couple transferred out the monitoring of the shopping mall and inquired from many parties, and found this kind person. The young man’s name is Wang Zihao. He is 22 years old and is an active sergeant in Wuxi. On the day of saving people, it was the first time he went home on family leave since he was a soldier for three years.

　　　　　　 Wang Zihao, a brave man: "When I just arrived at the ground by elevator, I turned around and heard the sound of the child falling, and immediately ran up." At that time, I heard crying. She cried the moment she fell, and then I immediately ran up. That elevator is not very high, five or six meters. Anyway, it will go up in two or three steps, and it will be received soon. "

　　　　　　 Liu Xiaoyan, the mother of the rescued child: "I want to say that this young man is really good, really good, and I have no eloquence, but I am very grateful to him and sincerely thank him."

　　　　　　 Ding Xianman, the father of the rescued child: "I saw the video of the child turning over today, and I was very worried. It was also the first time to watch it. Later, I heard that he was a soldier. Anyway, I wanted to be a soldier since I was a child. I also admire the soldiers."

　　　　　　 Fortunately, the good-hearted people shot in time. After inspection, the child was not seriously injured except for some bruises on his forehead.

　　　　　　 [Safety tips] It is safe to take the escalator.

　　　　　　 The dangerous scene I saw just now happened to children. In fact, in recent years, accidents have happened frequently on the escalator. Some people got caught in the gap of the escalator, and some accidentally fell on the escalator. How should we avoid the possible accidental injuries when taking the escalator? Let’s see what the professionals say.

　　　　　　 Liu Wei, deputy director of the Training Department of Chongqing Public Security Fire Corps, said: "The first is the handrail of the escalator, which is easy to have a gap with this fence. If you dig this handrail groove with your hands, it is easy to clip your hands in it. The second is the gap between the ladder and the fence, which is easy to clip clothes and then people’s feet in it during exercise. The third place is this comb-toothed board. It is dangerous to touch it with your hands and feet. Please.

　　　　　　 Liu Wei emphasized that children, especially those with strong curiosity and thin hands and feet, are more likely to be caught in the gap of the escalator and hurt than adults. Therefore, children or people who are old, weak, sick and pregnant must be accompanied by adults when taking the escalator. And if an accident happens, people around you should press the emergency stop switch of the elevator as soon as possible. The red button of this switch can generally be found at the upper and lower ends of the escalator.

　　　　　　 Liu Wei, deputy director of the War Training Department of Chongqing Public Security Fire Brigade, said: "We should quickly press this red button, a red button on the fence here, shut down the escalator, quickly broadcast a rescue call, and notify professionals to come to the rescue."

　　On August 20th, the 2019 World Robotics Congress kicked off in Yizhuang, Beijing. More than 180 well-known enterprises from the global robotics field made amazing appearances with more than 700 cutting-edge products. It was not only an exposition where robots showed their talents and competed with each other, but also an exploration and practice of presenting researchers with "animals" (bionic robots), "people" (commercial robots) and "tools" (intelligent manufacturing equipment) as the innovation direction, so that

　　Big birds, jellyfish, sharks … …

　　Bionic robots are particularly dazzling.

　　Nature and science and technology seem to be two very different disciplines, but in fact they are inextricably linked. At this World Robotics Congress, "bionic robots" that imitate biology and engage in biological characteristics are particularly evident.

　　“3、2、1!” At the moment when the silver-white bird model suddenly flickered its wings and flew vigorously into the air, the audience gave out bursts of exclamation. I saw that it sometimes rotates and sometimes vibrates its arms. After dozens of seconds, it can fly back to the "master’s" arms accurately.

　　According to the relevant person in charge of festo, this intelligent flying bird was designed as a high-performance and ultra-light flying model by the R&D personnel on the basis of successfully analyzing the flight mechanism of birds. Its aerodynamic characteristics are excellent and extremely dexterous. Its wings can not only flap up and down, but also be driven to a specific angle by an active articulated torsion drive unit, and the electronic system integrated on it can accurately and efficiently control its torsion according to the wing position.

　　ROBK-SHARK intelligent bionic shark unmanned submersible developed by Boya Gongdao is also an industrial underwater fish robot platform. According to reports, it uses a three-joint bionic tail fin as the only power source, and is equipped with a 110 wide-angle and 16 times optical zoom starlight camera. The shell adopts membrane vibration sound absorption structure, which can realize underwater low noise work, thus greatly improving the concealment of the equipment.

　　Smart arms, flexible lower limbs, and brain-brain switching … …

　　Humanoid commercial robots are amazing.

　　In the development of robots, imitating human beings has always been one of the main directions. There have been many amazing achievements in the field of humanoid commercial robots.

　　German Agile Robots (Beijing Siling Robot) and Kinifinity jointly developed the wearable motion capture device (glove+coat), which can control the operation of the mechanical arm and dexterous hand freely and remotely, such as steadily grabbing the mineral water bottle and continuously pouring water into the glass. Li Yang, marketing department of Beijing Siling Robot, said that this kind of motion capture remote control equipment has been applied to related operations in space to some extent.

　　In the just-released Guoman Ne Zha, Yi Er’s equipment is mixed with Tian Ling and hot wheels, which is deeply rooted in people’s hearts. Nowadays, the best friend "Little Nezha" (U06), which is similar to Yier’s actions in the field of robotics, makes its debut, and its freely coordinated movement of lower limbs is amazing. According to Liu Xuenan, CEO of Kangli Youlan, it has the ability to intelligently adapt to various complex environments through the combination of lower limb movements with wheeled gait and efficient combination of fast and slow doubles.

　　Chuangchuang, an intelligent business service robot, seems to be able to "see through" children’s temper. According to the relevant person in charge of Chuangze, its biggest feature is to take the lead in completely opening the "brain" and "cerebellum" of robots to users, so that you can quickly learn professional knowledge in various industries and become an "expert".

　　Intelligent manufacturing, warehousing and logistics, diving equipment & HELIP; …

　　Tool robot catches people’s eyes

　　Walking into the industrial robot exhibition area, the most eye-catching thing is that a complete blue intelligent robot arc welding production line is placed in the booth of Shougang in An Chuan. According to Cao Li, deputy general manager of the company, this system can be used to assemble automobile parts intelligently, accurately and efficiently.

　　The L4 logistics unmanned vehicle of Jingdong Logistics can achieve high-precision positioning at the lane level, accurately identify pedestrians, traffic signs and avoid obstacles through the deep integration of laser and vision and the use of high-precision maps. There is also its self-developed Chinese pallet access system, which mainly includes ground wolf AGV, six-axis mechanical arm and vision system, unmanned stacking forklift, four-way shuttle car and three-dimensional shelves.

　　Harbin Institute of Technology Robot Group brought a wearable underwater power backpack developed by one of its technology companies, which is novel and unique. This underwater swimming aid, which can be switched between various sports modes, has a backpack weighing 6.8kg (including battery) and a battery life of 50 minutes. Using the power generated by the electric propeller, divers can complete some difficult movements on the surface and underwater.

　　(Science and Technology Daily, Beijing, August 21st, by reporter Hualing, Liu Yuanyuan and Liu Yan)

A few days ago, we obtained a set of latest road test spy photos of the new Tesla from overseas media. As a modified model, the new car is expected to be upgraded mainly for the design of exterior interior, but it is expected to be equipped with a large battery pack of 95kWh, and its cruising range may exceed 800km.

In terms of appearance, combined with the spy photos previously exposed, the new car will adopt an updated design similar to the new one. The front face is divided into a more angular closed low wind resistance design, and equipped with a new LED headlight group with a long and narrow shape, which is more aggressive in style. The side of the car body is basically unchanged, and it is still a crossover coupe SUV with a sliding roof.

The overall outline of the rear part will not change, but a brand-new through taillight group will be adopted, and the light source of the middle light belt will be diffuse reflection, which is very recognizable. In terms of interiors, the new car is also in line with the new Model 3.

The overall design style is more simple. The center console is equipped with an integrated turn signal button, and the rear gear mechanism is cancelled, and the middle floating central control large screen is used for gear shifting.

In addition, the surrounding atmosphere lights and carbon fiber decorative boards are added to the interior, which improves the sense of grade. In terms of power, the new car is expected to continue the current power configuration, but it does not rule out the introduction of a high-performance version with upgraded performance.

In the normalization stage of epidemic prevention and control, Liaoshitong health code is a passport that Liaoning people need to show when they enter and leave railway stations, airports, hospitals, supermarkets and other public places or take the subway. In the past, when citizens presented Liao Shitong health codes, they usually had to go through the steps of scanning codes, jumping pages and filling in data, but now a more convenient way of "showing" is coming!

The reporter was informed on September 10 that the public can add the Liaoshitong health code to the homepage of Alipay. When it is necessary to show it, open Alipay and click on the "Health Code" on the homepage at a glance.

It is reported that in order to serve the accurate prevention and control of epidemic situation and help everyone to travel safely, Alipay Liaoshitong Health Code optimizes and integrates the basic information of users, two-dimensional code for epidemic prevention and control (red, yellow and green code), personal report (health statement), vaccination record inquiry, Liaoshitong Health Code Golden Shield, communication big data travel card inquiry, nucleic acid test result inquiry, generation exhibition code, report record, health information, double safety certification green shield and personal health.

Alipay has added more services to the Liaoshitong health code applet, such as: inquiry of epidemic risk levels in various places, self-inspection of peer secret personnel, subway, bus, Alipay sweep, Alipay payment code and so on.

It is worth mentioning that the related functions such as boarding code, travel card and exhibition code can be displayed directly on the right side of the green code interface, and it is very convenient to switch directly with one click. Take the code exhibition function as an example. After entering the name, mobile phone number, certificate type, certificate number, personal relationship and residential address of the agent in advance, a small icon of "code exhibition" will be generated on the right side of the green code of health code. Click it to display the health code of the agent.

According to the requirements of epidemic prevention and control and the demand for convenience, Alipay has simultaneously launched a five-piece set of daily epidemic prevention. In addition to generating the basic function of health code, Alipay can search for keywords such as peer self-examination, nucleic acid detection, travel card and risk level, and all kinds of convenience services can be directly accessed with one click.

1. Display health code and basic information.

After opening the Alipay Liaoshitong health code, the name and ID number of the client can be displayed once (some contents are omitted to protect citizens’ privacy), and green, yellow and red QR codes can be generated at the same time, prompting different degrees of risks. At the same time, the page can also display personal health risk tips, COVID-19 vaccination information, the State Council travel card information and nucleic acid test results.

2, peer self-examination

Many citizens who have traveled by plane, train and other public transportation within 14 days may be worried about whether they have shared with confirmed or suspected patients. Recently, the national government service platform and the Health and Health Commission have launched a self-inspection service for peer secret attendants. The public can search for "peer self-inspection" on Alipay to find out more peace of mind.

3, nucleic acid detection information query

Alipay Liaoshitong Health Code has realized data sharing with all nucleic acid detection institutions in the province. After clicking enter, you can query the results of the latest standard nucleic acid detection, sampling location and sampling time (excluding crowd screening using mixed sampling method in emergency). This electronic certificate has been approved by the provincial headquarters and is common in the province.

4. Travel information query

Click "the State Council Travel Card Inquiry" in the main interface to open the small program of "Communication Travel Card" in the State Council, and display whether the code holder has visited the city where the medium and high-risk areas are located in the past 14 days by verifying the mobile phone number. For the convenience of "one code for all lines", the user can also click the communication big data verification in the health code generation interface, and then the travel risk information will be displayed directly in the interface (this function may require the input of SMS verification code), omitting the links of secondary code scanning and secondary code lighting.

5, around the risk level query

Open Alipay and search for "epidemic risk level query" to view information such as medium and high-risk epidemic areas in China and local epidemic risk levels.

Tips: At present, Alipay Liaoshitong health code has five main functions, which gradually promotes the "one code for all, one code for all" in the health industry and even more scenarios. The display method is as follows:

Method 1: In order to find the health code conveniently and quickly, you can add the health code to the Alipay homepage, which can quickly open the verification. Users who haven’t added the health code to Alipay’s homepage can click "More" in the nine squares of the homepage, click "Edit", find the health code and click "+"in the upper right corner to add it to the homepage.

Method 2: You can also search the Liaoning Health Pass Code applet on Alipay homepage for verification.

　　I. The industry in which the company is located during the reporting period.

　　During the reporting period, the company mainly engaged in LED, semiconductor memory new generation information technology business, comprehensive energy service business and advertising media business, providing customers with customized and integrated solutions.

　　(a) the new generation of information technology business in the industry

　　1. LED industry

　　China has written its strong support for the development of the third-generation semiconductor industry into the Tenth Five-Year Plan. LED is an important industry field of the third-generation semiconductor and has been widely used in many application scenarios such as lighting, backlight and display. 2023 is a year in which challenges and opportunities coexist: the downward pressure on the global economy has not diminished, the impact of global public health events has weakened, the macro economy has gradually recovered, and the overall market is still full of vitality; New challenges, new opportunities, new technologies and new applications coexist, and the LED industry as a whole is under pressure to repair. During the reporting period, the concentration of packaging links continued to increase and the competition became increasingly fierce; The overall revenue of the packaging industry is under pressure, and the sub-sectors such as automotive electronics and MiniLED are growing rapidly; The demand recovery of overseas lighting market has accelerated and exports have accelerated; Domestic market segments such as municipal lighting, commercial lighting and educational lighting are picking up, driving the LED industry forward.

　　2. Semiconductor memory industry

　　The semiconductor memory industry naturally has a strong periodic property. Since the second half of 2022, the unbalanced state of oversupply in the storage market caused by sluggish terminal demand and high inventory of enterprises has led to the decline of NANDFlash and DRAM prices for four consecutive quarters from Q3 2022 to Q2 2023. During this period, the original storage factories started to reduce production and continued to reduce production, drastically reducing supply, trying to slow down the downward trend of prices and reduce inventory pressure; However, the production reduction effect has a time limit, and the continuous decline of this price has caused huge performance losses to the original storage factory, and the continuous decline will even affect the medium and long-term technology investment and capacity planning. As a result, under the change of strategy of giving up the market share and turning to restoring profitability as the primary goal, the original storage factory began to strongly increase the storage price from the third quarter of 2023. The storage market became a de facto low point in the second quarter of 2023. In the third quarter, the prices of some products diverged, and in the fourth quarter, the storage prices rose in an all-round way. In the second half of 2023, the storage price rebounded, breaking the downward trend since the third quarter of 2022, and the price returned to the upward track.

　　According to the data of CFM flash memory market, the global storage market scale decreased by 20%, increased by 9% and increased by 16% in the first quarter, the second quarter and the third quarter of 2023, respectively. It is expected to maintain the double-digit growth rate in the fourth quarter and resume the year-on-year growth, but the storage market scale in 2023 will still decrease by 38% to 86.8 billion US dollars year-on-year. In 2023, eSSD, with enterprise/server as the main application field, consumed about 29% of the global NANDFlash production capacity, Mobile products with smart phone applications as the main consumption capacity, and cSSD with PC applications as the main consumption capacity.

　　Affected by the continuous production reduction of the original factory, the rising wafer price, the month-on-month warming of the three major storage application markets of PC, mobile phone and server in the second half of 2023, and the acceleration of artificial intelligence, the income change of storage application manufacturers showed a trend of first restraining and then rising, and it became a low performance in the first quarter of 2023. Stimulated by the rebound of storage prices in the third quarter, the market demand for stocking increased rapidly, which led to the gradual increase of storage application manufacturers’ income and the rebound of operating profit margin.

　　(2) Comprehensive energy industry

　　In essence, comprehensive energy service is to change the previous mode of separate planning, design and operation of electricity, gas, cold and heat, and coordinate and optimize the distribution, conversion, storage and consumption of all kinds of energy in operation by means of information technology, intelligent technology and management improvement. Its core value lies in improving energy utilization efficiency and realizing energy conservation and emission reduction.

　　Energy conservation and emission reduction is an inevitable requirement to achieve the policy goal of "carbon neutrality". Under the background of "carbon neutrality" policy, the country has successively introduced the policy of "double control of energy consumption" in terms of total energy consumption and intensity, and gradually turned to the policy of "double control of carbon emission", further highlighting the value of energy-saving services. The development of energy-saving service industry promotes the demand for comprehensive energy services.

　　(3) Advertising media industry

　　In 2023, with the outbreak of AI big model, the rise of small program games and micro-short plays, China’s Internet advertising industry has significantly demonstrated the characteristics of diversification, innovation and intelligence. According to China Internet Advertising Data Report 2023, the scale of Internet advertising market in China is estimated to be 573.2 billion yuan in 2023, an increase of 12.66% compared with 2022, and the growth rate tends to be flat and the competition is intensified. With the further increase in the proportion of Internet advertisements, short video advertisements and effect advertisements, TV advertisements, long video advertisements and brand advertisements are on the decline, and TV advertisements and long video advertisement service providers are facing the challenges of shrinking market demand, fierce competition and transformation and upgrading.

　　1. Supply chain risk and market competition risk brought about by changes in global macroeconomic and social situation.

　　With the global economic and trade frictions, geopolitical conflicts and other uncertainties and uncertainties in the global macroeconomic and social situation, the normal circulation of the supply chain of the semiconductor electronic industry chain faces certain risks, which may lead to unstable supply of raw materials and large price fluctuations, thus adversely affecting the development of China’s semiconductor industry. If the macroeconomic and social development is less than expected, it will further intensify the market competition in the LED industry, semiconductor memory industry and advertising media industry where the company is located, which may lead to a decline in gross profit margin.

　　The company will closely follow the changes in the supply chain of the global semiconductor electronics industry chain and take appropriate measures in a timely manner to reduce the risks in the supply chain of the industry chain; Focus on high-end differentiated segments, increase product research and development, improve the level of automation and intelligence, and enhance profitability; Strengthen brand and market channel construction and broaden business sources.

　　2. Risk of accounts receivable recovery

　　The customers of the company’s LED lighting projects are mainly government units and institutions. Due to the macroeconomic environment, there is a risk that some "old-fashioned" customers’ accounts receivable cannot be recovered, which is not conducive to the promotion of old projects and the undertaking of new projects, thus affecting their performance. The advertising media business is affected by industry policies and development, customer operating conditions, etc., and there may be risks that individual accounts receivable cannot be recovered on schedule, which will adversely affect performance.

　　The company will strengthen the collection of creditor’s rights, and control the risk of accounts receivable recovery by strengthening the collection, doing a good job in accounts receivable management and strengthening incentives and constraints.

　　3. The development of semiconductor memory business is less than expected.

　　The company has entered the field of storage semiconductors for a short time, and is still in the initial stage of capacity building of products, supply chains, channels and brands. In the course of operation, it may face a series of risks, such as industry development falling short of expectations, unstable supply of main raw materials and price fluctuations, supply chain development and integration, iteration of technological innovation and product upgrading, and brain drain. The company will give full play to the advantages of Hubei State-owned listed company with mixed ownership, located in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, tilt its capital, policies, talents and other resources to Wanrun Semiconductor, and support it to effectively expand and strengthen its semiconductor memory business, making it a new generation of information technology main industry of the company.

　　4. Risk of exchange rate fluctuation

　　The company’s lighting business mainly focuses on overseas exports. At present, the RMB exchange rate is subject to a floating exchange rate system, and the company’s international business is settled in foreign currency. The price change of RMB to US dollars and other currencies may bring uncertain influence to the company’s product price competitiveness and income.

　　The company will pay close attention to the exchange rate changes, and reduce the adverse impact of exchange rate fluctuations on the company’s performance by improving product technology innovation and service level and reasonably controlling foreign exchange risk exposure.

　　5. Risk of policy change

　　New energy and comprehensive energy businesses such as wind power and photovoltaic are greatly influenced by industry policies, and the risk that the operating performance of this part of the company fluctuates greatly due to the adjustment and change of industry policies is not ruled out. The company will pay close attention to policy trends, adjust business strategies in a timely manner, cultivate business sectors with policy-oriented layout, and actively participate in the policy formulation process to strive for a favorable industry development environment.

　　6. Risk of impairment of goodwill

　　If the macro-economy and the development of the industry in which the company acquired the enterprise are still less than expected, the operating performance of the company acquired the enterprise may also be less than expected, which will lead to the risk of goodwill impairment and adversely affect the overall operating performance of the company.

　　The company will strengthen its operation and management, empower the development of acquired enterprises, and promote the expansion of its business scale and the improvement of its profitability through measures such as resource coordination, risk control and financial support.

　　Investors are requested to invest rationally and pay attention to risks.

　　Our reporter Li Muming

　　Compared with the "snarling" smog, ozone is much more "low-key" and quietly "hidden" in the clear sky of Wan Li, but it has become the culprit of atmospheric environmental pollution in many cities since it was included in the monitoring indicators in summer in recent years. Statistics of air quality in 74 cities across the country show that among all the days exceeding the standard in June 2015, the days with ozone as the primary pollutant were the most, exceeding the days with PM2.5 as the primary pollutant. In response, on July 23, Guangdong Province announced the air quality of urban environment in the second quarter of 2015, and ozone became the most common primary pollutant; According to media reports, ozone replaced PM2.5 as the primary air pollutant in nearly half of the pollution days in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei from June to August.

　　Why is PM2.5, which is well known and concerned by the public, "surpassed" by ozone? What harm does ozone do to human body?　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

　　1. "Low-key" ozone is more terrible than PM2.5

　　Experts believe that the invisible pollution of ozone should not be underestimated, and comprehensive measures should be taken to prevent it, just like smog.

　　"In fact, ozone pollution has become a new environmental protection issue that plagues the whole country." Wang Yuesi, a researcher at the Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, said. At present, from a national perspective, there is one peak of ozone pollution in the north, while there are two peaks in the south every year. Even Xinjiang, Tibet and other regions are facing ozone pollution problems.

　　Compared with physical pollution such as black and smelly water pollution, yellow and black smoke pollution with pungent smell, and smog pollution mixed with fine particles, the public and even the environmental protection department have always taken colorless and odorless ozone pollution lightly.

　　But ozone is actually more terrible than PM2.5

　　Ozone can react with almost any biological tissue and is very destructive to the respiratory tract. According to the Canadian Center for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS), "ozone can irritate and damage the nasal mucosa and respiratory tract, which can cause chest tightness, cough, sore throat, asthma, aggravation of upper respiratory tract diseases, and may also lead to weakened lung function, emphysema and lung tissue damage, and these injuries are often irreparable." Therefore, for people with asthma, emphysema and chronic bronchitis, as long as they are exposed to low-concentration ozone, they may have obvious harm.

　　Similarly, ozone can also irritate the eyes, reducing visual sensitivity and vision. It will also destroy vitamin E in the skin and make the skin wrinkle and black spots. When the ozone concentration is above 200 μ g/m3, it will damage the central nervous system, causing headaches, chest pains and decreased thinking ability.

　　In addition, ozone will hinder the function of blood oxygen transmission, resulting in tissue hypoxia; Impairment of thyroid function and calcification of bones. Professor Paul Wentworth of Scripps Institute of Applied Science in the United States has done research and found that ozone can destroy the immune function of human body, induce chromosome aberration of lymphocytes, damage the activity of some enzymes and produce hemolytic reaction.

　　Even for plants, ozone is not a welcome good thing. Biologists from the University of Valencia, Spain, published a paper in 2006, suggesting that ozone will reduce the concentration of chlorophyll, carotenoids and carbohydrates in plants, which will affect photosynthesis and thus reduce the yield of crops.

　　2. The most dangerous population: pregnant women and children.

　　Because the proportion of ozone is about 1.66 times that of air, it often gathers in the lower space, so small children are the most direct victims.

　　Scientists in Southern California have conducted a five-year follow-up survey on 3,535 children aged 10 to 16, and found that in areas with high ozone concentration (the annual average concentration is between 112 and 138μg/m3), the incidence of asthma in children who often play three or four kinds of sports is twice as high as that in children who do not exercise. Especially, children with low birth weight or premature infants are more likely to be affected by ozone.

　　If the pregnant woman is exposed to ozone during pregnancy, the baby born may have congenital blepharoptosis (also called congenital microphthalmia, which is usually caused by the unsatisfactory development of fetal eyeball during the third month of pregnancy).

　　Another study called AHSMOG is aimed at adults. This study, which began in 1977, followed up 3091 adult non-smoking Americans aged 27-87 for 15 years. The results showed that men who were often exposed to ozone showed symptoms of lung damage. In addition, the incidence and mortality of lung cancer were closely related to long-term exposure to ozone.

　　3. The most dangerous place: the aircraft cabin.

　　Since ozone is so harmful, when is its high incidence?

　　According to the "State Key Laboratory of Organic Geochemistry" of Chinese Academy of Sciences, the timeliness and seasonality of ozone are obvious. The ozone concentration is very low in the early morning. After 8 o’clock, with more and more waste gas forming ozone and longer sunshine time, the ozone concentration gradually increases, reaching the peak between 14 o’clock and 16 o’clock, then slowly decreasing, and finally returning to the lowest state after 8 o’clock in the evening. During the year, the peak of ozone concentration is concentrated in summer. During this period, the formation of ozone can be described as "the right time, the right place and the right people": strong sunshine, less clouds and weak wind. This is the reason why people have throat, eyes and nose discomfort when they play when it seems sunny.

　　In terms of regional distribution, the ozone concentration in urban suburbs and scenic spots is often higher than that in the city center, especially when the suburbs are in the downwind of the city. In this regard, the experts’ explanation is that ozone is particularly lively and will continue to react with other pollutants after it is formed. Therefore, the increasing pollution discharge in the city center will temporarily "eat" ozone, turn it into other pollutants, and then drift to the suburbs with the wind and change it back into ozone. That is to say, even if the ozone concentration measured in the urban area is better than that in the suburbs, there is nothing to be proud of, which mostly shows that there are too many other pollutants in the urban area, which temporarily mutates the ozone.

　　The urban area is also polluted, and the scenic spots in the suburbs can’t escape. Where else can we stay? The advice of the World Health Organization (WHO) is: "Try not to expect to be outdoors when the ozone is high."

　　According to the test of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the ozone concentration indoors is generally 50% lower than that outdoors. If the room is well sealed and air conditioning system is adopted, the ozone concentration will be even lower. However, sparks from motor operation, xerography and the working process of TV set will turn some oxygen in the air into ozone. Therefore, mechanical and electrical rooms, electrostatic copier rooms, computer rooms, etc. are all places with high ozone incidence, but attention should be paid to ventilation.

　　There is also an "indoor" where ozone is concentrated-the airplane cockpit. The ozone in the engine room mainly comes from the atmospheric environment, and the ozone layer is mainly distributed in the atmosphere at an altitude of 10 km to 50 km, while the flying height of civil aircraft is generally 7 km to 12 km.

　　Modern large passenger planes are equipped with ozone removal systems, but it is still impossible to kill them all. The Canadian side has tested that when the Boeing plane flies at an altitude of 11,895 meters, the external ozone concentration is 3.57mg/m3, and the ozone concentration in the aircraft cabin is 0.29mg/m3. According to a survey funded by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the ozone content in the cockpit of Boeing 747, 727, 737, DC10 and DC9 is relatively high, and the ozone content in the cockpit of long-range aircraft is higher than that of short-haul aircraft. The leader of this survey is William nazarov, an environmental engineer at the University of California. He believes that the solution to the ozone problem in the cockpit is simple, that is, adding an ozone converter to the aircraft. "Unfortunately, not all airlines have this awareness, especially for old and small aircraft. Airlines are more concerned about flight safety."

　　4. How does ozone pollution come about?

　　Due to the increasingly obvious harm of ozone, the international safety standards for ozone are becoming stricter and stricter. The "maximum 8-hour daily average" of ozone stipulated by the European Union has dropped to 60nmol/mol (about 120 μ g/m3) in 2010, and the average number of days in a year cannot exceed this standard for more than 25 days. China’s newly revised Ambient Air Quality Standard in 2012 also added the ozone control standard: the daily maximum 8-hour average value is 100 μ g/m3 for Grade I and 160 μ g/m3 for Grade II.

　　However, it is impossible to assign a general safety value to everyone. "Personal physique, exercise frequency, time spent outdoors, and other pollutants in the air will all affect the harm degree of ozone, which is the headache for the research department." Professor Jerry Martin from the School of Public Health of the University of California explained, "More and more studies have proved that even if the ozone concentration is low, if the human body is exposed for a long time (6-8 hours), the harm will be equally serious. Moreover, ozone will also work in conjunction with other pollutants. For example, ozone will enhance the harm of PM (inhalable particulate matter) to the human body, and PM will also enhance the harm of ozone. "　　　　

　　"It is better to call it photochemical pollution than ozone pollution. Primary pollutants, such as volatile organic pollutants (VOCs) and nitrogen oxides (NOx), which are discharged into the atmosphere by pollution sources such as automobiles and factories, absorb the energy of sunlight under strong ultraviolet irradiation, so that the original chemical chain is destroyed and photochemical reactions occur, resulting in secondary pollutants such as ozone and peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN). The mixture of primary pollutants and secondary pollutants involved in the photochemical reaction process is called photochemical smog. Ozone is the main component of photochemical smog. When people monitor these pollutants, ozone concentration is also the most important indicator. " China Meteorological Bureau introduced this in its official blog.

　　5. The governance is difficult, and the top-level design needs to be strengthened.

　　Ozone pollution is an international topic. After decades of treatment in Los Angeles, the situation has greatly improved, but ozone still exceeds the standard for several days every year. Different from the single ozone pollution in the United States, ozone and PM2.5 are intertwined and interact in China, and it is just starting, so it is more difficult to control.

　　At the same time, it is not easy to monitor ozone. Wen Yanping, director of Taiyuan Environmental Monitoring Center, said that volatile organic compounds are one of the important precursors of ozone. However, the monitoring work has just started, and its sources and emissions are still in the stage of research and analysis, investigation and research, and its control is also in a state of no standard in the country, immature technology and conscious enterprise.

　　In addition, ozone monitoring does not have standard gas like sulfur dioxide, so it can easily check the error of monitoring equipment, and it can only take the equipment to Shanghai and other cities to "test the equipment with equipment", which will affect the monitoring of ozone.

　　Comprehensive control measures of ozone pollution need further research and exploration. Wang Yuesi said that the formation mechanism of ozone is a nonlinear process. Precursors, such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and nitrogen oxides (NOx), which can promote ozone generation, must be treated first to control ozone. However, the atmospheric ozone concentration will be effectively reduced only if it is reduced in proportion, which is not easy to handle at present. If only one kind is reduced, it is possible that the ozone concentration will increase instead.

　　The Air Pollution Prevention Action Plan issued by the State Council in 2013 clearly stated that it is necessary to "strengthen the research on the formation mechanism, source analysis, migration law, monitoring and early warning of haze and ozone, and provide scientific support for pollution control". Experts in the industry believe that governments at all levels must attach great importance to ozone pollution, a new environmental protection topic, and should take comprehensive control measures on the basis of strengthening basic research and top-level design.

　　Environmental experts say that ozone prevention and control first needs top-level design. Chai Fahe, vice president of china environmental science Research Institute, and others believe that ozone precursors should be included in the national emission reduction targets, and a total control plan for volatile organic compounds and nitrogen oxides should be formulated. Chai Fahe said that ozone precursor is also a kind of precursor of PM2.5 secondary particles. Ozone and PM2.5 treatment should be combined, and comprehensive consideration should not be made. In addition, since ozone pollution is a photochemical pollution, the pollution is aggravated when the temperature is high, so ozone should also be considered when considering global warming.

　　Wang Yuesi also suggested the implementation of comprehensive regional management. Ozone precursors are highly mobile substances, and nitrogen oxides produced in one area may not be felt by local people, but float to other places to form ozone. The effect of ozone control in a single city will not be too obvious, and regional prevention and control mechanisms should be established in areas with serious ozone pollution such as five provinces in North China, Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta.

　　Chai Fahe said that the proportion of ozone precursors is different in different places, and even in the same city, the proportion between urban and suburban areas is different. All localities should make clear the ozone formation mechanism in different places, and find out the specific proportion of ozone precursors and the location of emission sources through monitoring, so as to "prescribe the right medicine". And this work needs the cooperation of environmental protection departments and scientific research institutions.

　　Experts also believe that from the technical level, the focus of ozone precursor control should be on "vehicles, oil, roads and factories": improving automobile exhaust emission standards, improving automobile exhaust devices and reducing emissions; Improve fuel quality; At the same time, gradually switch buses and taxis to gas; Control traffic congestion; Eliminate backward production capacity and control nitrogen oxides and volatiles emitted by coal-fired power plants, cement, coatings, ink printing plants and other enterprises.

　　Top-level design doesn’t mean that it has nothing to do with the general public. Do a little thing that everyone can do to protect the health of themselves and their families. The development of human society will always rise in a spiral curve. As long as we don’t escape and give up, there are always more ways than problems.

　　◆ Small information

　　Ozone is just one word short of oxygen that sustains human life, and one more o, but it is the difference between graphite and diamond. Yes, these two groups of things, which are as different as heaven and earth, are allotropes, that is, simple substances made of the same single chemical element but with different properties.

　　Because there is one more oxygen atom than oxygen, ozone is more oxidizing than oxygen. What is oxidation? The cut apple will turn brown after a while because it is oxidized by oxygen in the air; The girls’ tender faces are getting older day by day, which is the result of her body oxidation. Ozone is more oxidizing than oxygen. To what extent? Have you smelled chlorine in tap water and swimming pool? That’s for disinfection. It needs to be disinfected with ozone, which is stronger than chlorine. Therefore, the upper floors of household disinfection cabinets are disinfected by ozone.

　　Walking on the busy streets, we sometimes feel that the air is light brown with a pungent smell, which is commonly called photochemical smog, and ozone is one of the most important components in it. There are a lot of nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds in automobile exhaust and factory smoke, which combine with oxygen in the air and form ozone under the catalysis of sunlight radiation and temperature.　

Whether it’s a comprehensive detoxification treatment or just a good comfort and indulgence, there is never a lack of excellent spa choices in the world.

In the past year, hundreds of healthy and green spas opened around the world, which may indicate that spas have changed from pure luxury to an essential part of travel.

From the sunny Mediterranean coast of Sicily to the high-end spas in the Caribbean, CNN has selected ten new spas that they think are the best in the world based on service, treatment, facilities and environment.

This article is compiled with a few abridgements. Source: CNN

Rocco Forte Spa, Verdura Resort (Sicily, Italy)

This 43,000-square-foot spa located on the southwest coast of Sicily is different from other spas in Italy.

First of all, it has its own private coastline, and it can take a panoramic view of the Mediterranean from every angle.

Not surprisingly, seawater bath therapy is used here, using seawater and marine elements as elements of medicine and treatment.

There is a complete system of seawater bath therapy, with four outdoor swimming pools providing different degrees of salt and heat.

Such as seaweed body scrub ($130), which uses locally produced marine elements such as kelp, sea salt and microalgae to purify the body and detoxify.

In addition to sea bath therapy, there is also a sauna, a 65-foot swimming pool and a juice bar, which provides organic and antioxidant-rich juice all day.

The Ritz-Carlton Spa in Bali (Bali, Indonesia)

Only six months after its opening, the spa in the Ritz-Carlton in Bali has proved as impressive as the hotel.

The spa, made of rain wood and smooth marble, has an advanced spa massage pool with five different areas, which can massage different parts of the body.

There are also two massage pools, cold pools, steam and sauna rooms, and a yoga studio overlooking the Indian Ocean.

In addition to fourteen independent clinics, there are four private hot spring villas, and the SPA is also equipped with its own Balinese swimming pool and open-air lounge.

The course of treatment is a mixture of ancient Balinese techniques and modern technology, and local raw materials such as coconut, seaweed and pearls are mixed into it. It is said that these raw materials have nutritional and antioxidant effects.

The SPA, which opened at the end of last year, is located on the sixth and seventh floors of Le Meridien Gaulle, covering an area of 11,000 square feet. It is the largest spa in the city.

There is an indoor swimming pool with hydrotherapy massage and waterfall, Turkish bath, ice room and even a salt room, which is made of sea salt imported from Himalaya (it is said to promote better breathing).

But what attracts guests is the high-tech treatment here: the use of the cutting-edge Japanese formula Skingenecell 1P, which is said to be the most advanced element that can repel skin damage and aging.

Do you want to keep a low profile afterwards?

Try the Zen bath ceremony in the hot spring ($285). Two hours of soaking in rich minerals is definitely a perfect experience.

Thai House, Zemi Beach House Resort and Spa (Shoal Bay, Anguilla)

This is not a spa with a thatched roof that you usually see. Located on Shoal Bay, the newly opened Thai House is an all-round health center.

Here you can find the only hamam, meditation garden, mud deck, yoga studio, spa shower, vitality pool adjusted according to guests’ body temperature, and even a juice bar.

The physiotherapy room is built in a Thai house with a history of 300 years (hence the name), with a private lounge and a view of the sea or garden.

Most of the treatment uses local herbs, flowers, soil and sea salt as materials.

Spa at Bernardus Lodge (Carmel Valley, California, USA)

The view from Bernardus Lodge’s new spa is worth the ticket price.

Located in the center of Monterey wine district, the spa is surrounded by 28 acres of sunny vineyards, orchards and oak forests.

It has all the advantages of a five-star spa: a huge swimming pool, an outdoor jacuzzi, a eucalyptus steam room, a shower using Vichy mineral water, a dry steam room and an advanced 24-hour fitness center.

But what really makes this spa stand out is its concept of "from garden to treatment", picking materials from its own organic garden for treatment.

From face to pedicure, it is full of lavender, mint, rosemary and Chardonnay grapes collected from vineyards.

Guests can even soak in the Chardonnay bubble bath.

Opened in September last year, this two-story space is more like a comprehensive health center than a hotel spa.

Two outdoor massage baths, an 80-foot-long swimming pool (almost the size of the Olympic Games), several heat treatment areas and a 1,300-square-foot gym, which is the largest spa in Ho Chi Minh City.

Like the hotel, this spa is exceptionally gorgeous, completely covered with carrara marble, hand-inlaid mosaics and gold.

The treatment is also luxurious, ranging from mother-of-pearl body scrub ($90) to top-class couples treatment including red wine body dressing and candlelight massage, with champagne and caviar snacks ($820).
