In terms of ensuring safety, Xiong Shaoyuan said that China Meteorological Bureau adhered to the principle of putting people first and life first, actively integrated into the national emergency framework, and effectively built the first line of defense for meteorological disaster prevention and mitigation.

According to reports, in terms of emergency linkage mechanism with meteorological disaster warning as the guide, the progressive meteorological service mechanism has achieved national coverage, and a high-level early warning "calling" system has been established and improved. Since 2023, the cumulative number of party and government leaders at all levels and flood control has reached 580,000.

In terms of meteorological disaster risk early warning capability, the first national comprehensive risk survey of natural disasters was completed in 10 categories, and 45 meteorological disaster risk products were released daily. The accuracy of rainstorm warning signal has been improved to 93%, the early warning time of severe convective weather has reached 43 minutes, and the meteorological warning information can be delivered to the public in 3 to 8 minutes, with a coverage rate of 98.8%. In the past five years, the number of deaths caused by meteorological disasters has decreased by an average of 48.5% compared with that between 2014 and 2018, and the proportion of economic losses to GDP has decreased by an average of 0.15%.

In terms of weather modification ability, in the past five years, 5,547 aircraft operations and more than 227,000 ground operations have been organized, with an average annual increase of over 38 billion tons of precipitation, an area affected by artificial precipitation (snow) reaching 5 million square kilometers, and an area protected by artificial hail suppression reaching 600,000 square kilometers.

In terms of high-quality and efficient development, Xiong Shaoyuan said that China Meteorological Bureau adheres to the "big service concept" and meteorological services cover more than 70 industries in the national economy. Focusing on food security, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs jointly issued 12 types of agro-meteorological disaster risk warnings. This year, according to the dry-hot wind warning, various localities adopted measures such as "one spray and three defenses" to help winter wheat reduce disasters and increase income by about 3 billion Jin. Focusing on ensuring smooth traffic, the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Transport jointly created a new mode of "one road, three parties" linkage control. The number of traffic accidents caused by bad weather decreased by 50% year-on-year and the operational efficiency increased by 42%. Focusing on helping the development of new quality productivity, 59 meteorological high-value data products were listed on the data exchange. Explore the "meteorology × finance" service, initially build the meteorological service for risk reduction before the disaster, release the first batch of 69 financial meteorological indexes, and establish the financial meteorological index service platform.

　　During the half year of staying at home, have you tried your best for your child’s growth? Bone soup, growth hormone, nutritional supplement, stretching exercise … … Anyone who hears a folk prescription that can be shot up will give it to his own baby to try. However, are these so-called height-increasing tips really helpful for growing taller? Today, let’s take a look at the rumors of the height that are all the rage, and see if you have encountered the following "pits".

　　Rumor, drinking more bone soup can make you taller.

　　Bone is indeed rich in calcium, but it has little to do with calcium supplementation.

　　First of all, calcium in bones is difficult for human body to absorb; Secondly, no matter how long the bones are stewed, the calcium is difficult to dissolve into the soup. We see that the thick white soup is actually mostly fat. Therefore, drinking bone soup for a long time can not only supplement calcium, but also lead to the risk of obesity.

　　Compare the calcium content of bone soup and milk — — Bone soup: 2 mg/100 ml; Milk: 104mg/100ml.

　　The calcium content of milk is far greater than that of bone soup, so it is not as practical as drinking milk to supplement calcium for children and drink bone soup.

　　Rumours: Milk can grow taller when drunk in water.

　　The latest Dietary Guidelines for China Residents (2016) should drink 1,500-1,700 ml of water every day.

　　Protein and fat in milk are about 3%, sugar content is about 5% and calcium content is about 1%. If you drink milk according to this amount, the supply of calcium will be excessive, and the fat and energy will be much higher. Even if you drink half the milk you drink every day — — 800 ml, intake of fat and energy.

　　In addition, drinking milk as water will lead to excessive intake of protein in the body. Too much protein supply, the human body can’t "take it all", but the absorption rate will drop.

　　The daily consumption of milk should not exceed 500ml. Moreover, drinks such as fruit juice, carbonated drinks, functional drinks, AD calcium milk and other milk drinks should not be drunk, let alone used as daily water.

　　Rumours that Tianqi soup can grow taller.

　　In recent years, "Tianqi" has been sought after by many health people, and the fact that Tianqi can help children grow taller has become a concern of parents. At present, there is no scientific evidence to prove that the folk remedies of "Tianqi stewed chicken, Tianqi stewed ribs and Haima stewed Tianqi" can be safely and effectively increased. Moreover, these traditional Chinese medicines and tonics may have the risk of accelerating the closure of the epiphyseal line, which will lead to lifelong high damage and even endocrine diseases such as precocious puberty!

　　At the same time, herbal tea with Chinese herbal medicines is not suitable for children to drink more and often. Some nutrients fortified in packaged foods, such as milk and yogurt fortified with vitamin ad and calcium, and beverages fortified with vitamin C, iron and zinc, such as electrolyte drinks such as red bull, candy, bread, eggs, etc., should also look at the content when choosing, and calculate the need, otherwise it will go too far.

　　In addition, there are adult-formulated health care products such as pollen and royal jelly, which are also very risky for children to eat.

　　There was a five-year-old girl who ate pollen and royal jelly for several months in a row. Instead of growing taller, her breasts began to increase and her bone age reached nine years old. Children with precocious puberty will not be "superior", but will lead to early healing of epiphyses, and eventually lose the space for growing up and become "dwarfs".

　　Blame rumors and eat growth factors to grow taller.

　　Malnutrition does affect height, but the nutrients that are very easy to get in natural foods really don’t need to be supplemented with supplements. When you get some nutrition through natural food, you can also get many other nutrients that can promote growth. In recent years, various growth factors with lysine as the main component have become new nutritional supplements. It is said that eating it can promote healthy growth, calcium absorption, appetite and so on.

　　Lysine is an essential amino acid for human body. Like other amino acids, it can be obtained through daily diet. The statement that manufacturers sell lysine supplements is nothing more than that the lysine content in grains is very low, which can not meet the needs of human body.

　　We Asians’ traditional staple food rice does lack lysine, but there are many other foods rich in lysine to choose from, such as lean beef, pork, chicken, fish, shrimp, nuts, eggs, beans and legumes.

　　Instead of blindly buying expensive nutritional supplements, it is better to think of ways to give children these foods mentioned above.

　　Dispelling rumors and eating nutritional supplements are beneficial to development.

　　It is unnecessary for most parents to give their children supplements, such as vitamin C, calcium, zinc, etc., which are very easy to get from food. If the child’s long-term uneven diet has caused a serious lack of certain nutrients and caused diseases such as anemia and vitamin D deficiency rickets, it must be supplemented according to the doctor’s advice. Other conditions, including mild nutritional deficiency, can be supplemented by dietary adjustment, and should also be supplemented by dietary adjustment.

　　Slight nutritional deficiency can be slowly improved by dietary adjustment. For children themselves, life has not passed for a few years, and it is easy to improve through diet adjustment without the conditions of "long-term" lack.

　　Short-term and slight nutritional deficiency will not cause any problems. On the contrary, it may be because of parents’ efforts to develop good eating habits for their children and form a balanced diet structure, so that children can benefit for life.

　　Dietary supplement is the safest and most effective method.

　　Myth: Stretching and draping can grow taller.

　　For patients with hunchback and scoliosis, spinal traction can also help restore a certain height.

　　See it clearly? Recover!

　　To put it simply, after stretching exercise for a period of time, the interosseous tissue returns to a better thickness, and the measured height value will increase a little. However, such stretching is not the height of the child’s own long bone growth. If it is not stretched properly, it will easily cause muscle damage to the child.

　　I would like to remind everyone here that reasonable exercise is conducive to balancing the growth of bones and the metabolism of calcium and phosphorus in the whole body, and promoting the physical development of children. Pay attention to the exercise that can make the bone bear pressure, which is the best stimulus to promote bone growth.

　　I recommend the following sports:

　　● Including skipping rope and running, which is beneficial to the movement of limbs;

　　● Sit-ups, gymnastics and other sports that contribute to bone growth;

　　● Volleyball, badminton, swimming and other comprehensive sports all contribute to the growth and extension of the whole body bones.

　　However, it is particularly important to emphasize that we must stretch well to avoid the damage of joint ligaments. If children want to really grow up healthily, it is a better choice to exercise continuously for at least 4 to 5 days and ask for 30 to 45 minutes at a time. In addition, let children choose sports according to their age and interests, and carry out physical exercise under the premise of safety, which must be gradual.

　　German scientists have discovered a magical chameleon subspecies in northern Madagascar. They are only the size of melon seeds and can lie on human fingers, which may be the smallest reptile on the earth.

　　The Bavarian National Zoo in Munich, Germany, said that they found two adult miniature chameleons, a female and a male, in northern Madagascar. Among them, the male is only 22 mm long, which is the smallest known reptile. The other female chameleon is a little bigger, but the total length is only 29 mm.

　　The researchers said that it is not clear why the species is so small, but perhaps similar to the "island effect", animals trapped on the island and with small habitats tend to evolve smaller bodies.

　　However, the living environment of this new species is worrying. The habitat of this chameleon has been destroyed by deforestation. Fortunately, in recent years, the government has planned a protected area in the local area, so they are lucky to survive.

　　"It only takes a few lines of code to build a regression model." Programmers recognize the performance of Google AutoML and think that the model designed by AutoML is comparable to that designed by machine learning experts. A few days ago, Google engineers introduced the Google AutoML project in China and Silicon Valley respectively.

　　Confused doubts followed — — AI evolved again? ! Already self-developed? Can control their own evolution? Is it to get rid of humans?

　　How many steps does evolution take?

　　AI has indeed evolved, and it can do more and more things and achieve remarkable results. Behind it is the "triple jump" of AI implementation path — —

　　Zhao Zhigang, a researcher at the Big Data R&D Department of Jinan Center of National Supercomputing, said: "At first, we used mathematical formulas and ‘ if… … then’ Wait for the statement to tell the computer what to do in the first step and what to do in the second step, teach it by hand, and then give the machine N groups of inputs and outputs. The rules or laws in the middle are learned by itself. "

　　"Before, many smart minds spent their whole lives studying how to extract effective features." Mo Yu, CTO of Smart Point, which focuses on intelligent shopping guide dialogue robots, explained, "The invention of neural network algorithm and the emergence of deep learning technology have made AI evolve to 2.0, and the work of extracting features is carried out by AI itself, and our work has also changed accordingly."

　　It is easy to explain the transition from "1.0" to "2.0" with the model of mathematical function: if the tasks of image recognition, semantic understanding and chess playing are all regarded as different Y=f(X), that is, the input picture, voice or chess move of "cat" is "x", and the output cat, answer and chess move is "y". Before deep learning, people find the formula corresponding to function F through their own analysis and tell it to AI. After deep learning, people input a lot of correspondence between x and y, and AI finds the formula corresponding to function f by itself.

　　"The specific content of the function F found by AI may be better than that found by humans, but humans don’t know it, just like a black box." Mo Yu said, "But the form of F is designed by AI researchers through research. If deep neural network is used, the modules in the network and the organization between modules are also designed in advance."

　　With the maturity and popularization of deep learning technology, there has been a specific pursuable experience in model construction. "The release of various common neural networks has made the threshold for employment lower and lower. Some ordinary model construction and optimization, just graduated students can get started in online learning tutorials. " Zhao Zhigang said.

　　When modeling becomes a learnable skill, AutoML appears. What it can do is the model design work of AI researchers. "It will help different companies build artificial intelligence systems, even if they don’t have extensive expertise." Google engineers recommend this. AI successfully evolved to 3.0.

　　In fact, AutoML still replaces the work that human beings can extract experience. "If people described a set of ‘ Road network ’ With the technical assistance of deep learning, the machine can find the optimal path as quickly as possible; Then AI can now design its own road network. " Zhao Zhigang was concise.

　　It can be seen that both deep learning and AutoML only replace the work that some groups of human beings have studied thoroughly. "What machines can do, try not to work by hand" is the life creed of many programmers, which gave birth to AutoML. Based on the same creed, Microsoft developed DeepCoder. "It can be used to generate programs that satisfy given input and output." Mo Yu said, but its performance is not satisfactory at present, and only some simple programs can be written.

　　Who is "God"

　　There is no doubt that the answer is human.

　　Since AI has evolved to a higher level of model design, what changes have taken place in the "hand of God"?

　　"An alchemist", Mo Yu vividly talked about his work in two words. "Smart is a professional intelligent customer service. The work of R&D personnel mainly focuses on problem modeling (how to turn actual problems into problems solved by artificial intelligence technology) and algorithm optimization (how to improve the effect of artificial intelligence algorithms)."

　　"refining" means constant debugging and improvement. "For a specific person, the more you throw your temper, the better. The more accurate the answer, the better." Mo Yu said, "Our X is the customer’s question, Y is the reply of the robot customer service, and the middle function F needs training."

　　This is not an easy task. If we divide the experience of human society into three categories: definite rules with formulas, knowledge that can be expressed in words, and feelings that can only be understood but cannot be expressed. The last category is the most difficult to ponder.

　　"Therefore, we try to build a perfect closed-loop feedback, understand the preferences of specific users, and finally achieve what they like through the expression of emotions and interests." Mo Yu said, "At present, it is in the stage of man-machine collaboration, but the acquisition of more and more samples will help our intelligent customer service to give accurate and pleasing answers."

　　It can be seen that not all fields are suitable for AI’s self-development. For example, in the aspect of problem modeling, how to abstract practical problems into machine learning problems can not be completed by AI. In the stage of AI2.0, R&D personnel also need to design the form of function F manually.

　　So, what will be the future of AutoML popularization?

　　"Humans are liberated from lower-level jobs." Zhao Zhigang said, "If the model design can be done by AI, then AI researchers will explore more the design of the basic modules that make up the model."

　　"Developing AI models with AutoML is similar to children playing with ‘ Lego ’ Toys. " Zhao Zhigang put it in simple terms, and the designers of Lego disassembled the whole world into detailed modules, so that everything could be used and then combined into complex models. The higher level of human work is to find basic units, that is, modules, for AI in different fields. For example, in the field of image recognition, humans have designed various modules such as convolution and pooling. "AutoML can build a model based on this, and constantly adjust the module combination to obtain a more reasonable output. The finer the module, the more versatile it can be, and the more self-developed AI can be used. " Zhao Zhigang said.

　　Extended reading

　　 Where are the talents needed by the industry?

　　Alleviating the shortage of talents is the main selling point of AutoML. "AI systems are blooming everywhere, but AI talents are far behind." Google explains why AutoML is indispensable. What is the current status of AI talents?

　　In 2017, the Global AI Talent Report and the BAT Artificial Intelligence Talent Development Report were released one after another. "The shortage of AI talents is real." Xu Wenjuan, vice president of Shengshi Investment Group, said, "The shortage of talents in start-up and development enterprises is particularly serious. From the current global perspective, the United States has the largest number of AI talents, and China’s AI talents can’t be compared with it in terms of number of people and experience. "

　　Zhao Zhigang has the same feeling: "China’s AI field is short of veterans, experts, generalists and top masters." The optimization and debugging of the model requires experience, the exquisite design of the model requires superb skills, and the application of AI in various industries requires compound talents. In addition, there are only a handful of top talents leading the development direction of AI, and most of them are abroad.

　　Xu Wenjuan introduced that China has the most AI talents in BAT (Baidu, Ali, Tencent). Generally, there are several kinds of background experiences of such talents, such as returnees, BAT work experience, or from universities or research institutes.

　　"AI self-development should not be able to replace people’s work in the short term, and there is still a long way to go." Xu Wenjuan said. Zhao Zhigang analyzed from an academic point of view: "Only when human beings design AI models in different application fields and further decompose them into a series of general modules, such as the periodic table of elements in chemistry, DNA and RNA in biology, can this self-development have more applications."

　　According to the Southeast Network (Reporter Feng Chuanye correspondent Song Yaxin), the "May Day" holiday is coming, and many car owners have already made travel plans. The reporter learned from Fujian Expressway Energy Company that Fujian Expressway has laid out charging stations in more than 100 pairs of service areas and built more than 900 charging piles, of which the coverage rate of fast charging stations is as high as 88%, and the charging service network of expressway intercity traffic in the province has basically taken shape.

　　This year’s "May 1 ST" holiday arrangement is: April 29 to May 3, a total of 5 days. Free passage time is five days during the May Day holiday in 2023 (from 0: 00 on April 29th to 24: 00 on May 3rd), and Fujian Expressway will continue to implement the free passage policy for passenger vehicles with less than 7 seats (including 7 seats).

　　The high-speed department predicts that the public’s willingness to travel during the "May 1" Golden Week this year is very strong. Combined with the comprehensive analysis and judgment on the changes of expressway traffic in the whole province during the May Day holiday in recent years and the Qingming holiday this year, it is predicted that the overall expressway traffic in our province will rise sharply during the May Day holiday this year, which is expected to break through the level of the same period in previous years and hit a new record high. The travel groups are mainly long-distance inter-provincial tours and short-distance trips to go on road trip. It is suggested to plan the route scientifically and rationally stagger the peak trips.

　　In order to facilitate the travel of electric car owners, Fujian Expressway has sorted out the list of service areas where charging stations have not yet been laid out, helping car owners to plan their trips in advance, avoiding entering the service area without charging stations by mistake and improving charging efficiency.

　　The service area of the charging station has not yet been laid out as follows:

　　Fuzhou area: Longtian service area of Fuzhou-Xiamen Expressway and Wutong service area of Puyan Expressway;

　　Zhangzhou area: Huangtian service area of Pingmei Expressway, Banzi Yutang service area and Meifeng service area of Guping Expressway;

　　Longyan area: Rentian Service Area of Zhangwu Expressway, Ancient City Service Area of Xiamen-Chengdu Expressway and Tufang Service Area;

　　Sanming area: Fengxi service area, ancient ginkgo service area of Shaxia Expressway and Dajin Lake service area of Puwu Expressway;

　　Tips for using charging piles

　　1. During the charging process, the vehicle should be parked and turned off, and it is not allowed to move at will.

　　2. Check the charging pile, charging cable and charging gun for obvious appearance damage before charging the gun. If there is any damage, charging should be prohibited.

　　3. When charging, the charging gun should be inserted to the end, otherwise the equipment protection function will be prohibited from being electrified.

　　4. After starting charging, the charging equipment and lines are electrified at this time. Despite multiple protection measures, you should try to avoid touching the charging equipment again.

　　5. It is forbidden to plug and unplug the charging gun forcibly when the charging is not over, and it is forbidden to press the emergency stop button in non-emergency situations.

　　6. Non-professional operation and maintenance personnel are strictly forbidden to disassemble or modify the charging equipment.

　　Situation of high-speed power exchange stations in the province

　　In cooperation with Weilai Energy Company, Fujian Expressway Energy Company has operated five power stations in three pairs of service areas with large traffic and high power demand in the province, including one second-generation power station and four third-generation power stations.

　　Compared with the second-generation station, the third-generation power station has the advantages of higher efficiency, stronger service and smarter operation. It only takes 3-4 minutes to complete the power exchange, and the daily service times can reach 408 times, which can realize the functions of calling vehicles and automatically changing power, and can comprehensively improve the experience of power exchange owners.

　　Tips for using Weilai Power Station

　　1. Navigate to the nearest power exchange station by calling NOMI, and the locomotive system will prompt whether it is necessary to make an appointment for power exchange in advance, click OK, and then go directly to the power exchange station;

　　2. After arriving at the power exchange station, a power exchange prompt will pop up on the central control panel, and the owner can choose to park automatically and enter the power exchange station, or back up by himself and let the power exchange station staff back up and enter the power exchange station;

　　3. After the vehicle stops in the power exchange station, it will automatically start to change power. After the power exchange is completed, the vehicle will give a prompt, and then it can directly drive out of the power exchange station.

　　In the next step, Fujian Expressway will encrypt the network layout of power stations, and strive to achieve one power station every 100 kilometers of expressway. It is estimated that 11 power stations will be added to Fujian Expressway during the year, which will radiate the sections of Shenhai Expressway, Jingtai Expressway and Changshen Expressway in the province. This will greatly enhance the convenience service capacity and provide a strong "green power support" for high-speed electric vehicles to travel to Fujian Expressway.

　　Line up for spicy food.

　　Tempting Gansu mala Tang.

　　"Bouquets of vegetables" are one after another, and enthusiastic diners are one after another. After Tianshui Mala Tang went out of the circle, this "sky-splashing flow" also began to flock to Lanzhou, and the passenger flow of major Mala Tang shops in the city continued to rise obviously. Embracing this wave of traffic dividends, on March 20th, famous local restaurants in Lanzhou took advantage of the situation to offer a new "Gansu Mala Tang" and add another fire with innovative dishes. Even the University of Science and Technology Beijing, thousands of miles away, issued an official announcement, "The campus canteen window, authentic Tianshui Mala Tang in Gansu, is officially launched"!

　　A Lanzhou hot spicy dip famous store huo Shang Jia huo

　　When visiting Lanzhou, Jin Lan Mala Tang in Anning District must be on the must-eat list.

　　At noon on March 19, looking at the endless diners, Ms. Chen, a citizen of Lanzhou, lamented: "Jin Lan Mala Tang, which is deeply loved on weekdays, has become more popular recently!" This is an old-fashioned Mala Tang shop in Lanzhou. The proprietress’s name is Wen Jinlan, and she is from Longnan, Gansu Province. She has been here for more than 20 years. After the hot spicy dip in Tianshui, more and more diners came here, and sometimes they even had to wait in line for an hour to eat.

　　In order to meet the huge passenger flow, it is normal for Wen Jinlan to get up early for nearly 20 hours every day. The reason why it is popular, in the view of the proprietress Wen Jinlan, is because of "popular taste, everyone likes it". The raw materials such as Gangu pepper, Wudu Dahongpao pepper, vermicelli specially customized from Dingxi and grain vinegar produced nearby have jointly contributed to the mouth-watering "spicy and hot".

　　"A large pot of vegetables, all kinds of ingredients wrapped in red juice, a spoonful of crisp sour radish, and the smell of oily spicy seeds between chopsticks directly hit the taste buds." Every meal, Yanji Mala Tang in Zhengning Road, Chengguan District, all the tables inside and outside the store are full. Many people ask, after more than 30 years of opening, people are so popular that there must be an exclusive secret recipe, right? Mr. Zeng, the boss, said frankly: "My wife and I are out-and-out Jianyang people in Sichuan. We have lived in Lanzhou for decades. We improved and adjusted the proportion of juice according to the tastes of local people, which reduced the hemp degree of pepper. It brings together Gansu local materials such as Dingxi Kuanfen and Gangu Chili, forming a unique flavor of Gansu Mala Tang. "

　　B Lanzhou local catering enterprises innovate dishes.

　　On March 20th, Duanji Hotel in Yantan, Lanzhou officially launched the new dish "Gansu Mala Tang". Yang Guoyan, Chairman of the Folk Food Committee of Longcai Association and Deputy General Manager of Lanzhou Duanji Catering Management Co., Ltd., told Benben News reporter: "In order to meet this wave of traffic, we have developed a new dish close to Tianshui Mala Tang, with ingredients such as Gangu Chili, Dingxi Kuanfen and Qin ‘an Zanthoxylum. As a Longcai hotel, our goal is to create a ‘ Ganwei hot spicy dip ’ The alternative ingredients will be more extensive, adding lily, yak meat and so on. " Yang Guoyan said that many employees in the store are from Tianshui. Through repeated trial production for many days, this new product has been officially launched.

　　"After Tianshui Mala Tang is on fire, how can we seize this wave of traffic and continue to undertake this heat to Lanzhou? In fact, we still have to work hard on product innovation." Yang Guoyan said, "Gansu is more delicious than mala Tang, Wuwei ‘ Three sets of cars ’ , Zhang Ye ‘ Stir-fry firecrackers ’ , Longnan stirred up the group … … Longshang cuisine has a long history. How to make use of this mala Tang craze to make all kinds of snacks in Gansu known to more people and promote them to the whole country requires not only the help of the cultural tourism department, but also the joint efforts of the catering industry and other departments. "

　　C "Gansu Mala Tang" online orders skyrocketed.

　　According to the data of Meituan, since March, the search volume of keywords related to "Gansu Mala Tang" has increased by 18.5 times from last month, and the number of public comments has soared by 13.2 times. The take-away orders of Gansu Mala Tang increased 66 times from last month. Beijing, Xi ‘an, Jinan, Shanghai and Tianjin are the top five cities in search volume.

　　At the same time, the popularity of Tianshui Mala Tang has also driven the growth of local cultural tourism consumption. The booking volume of travel orders in Tianshui City, Gansu Province increased by 71.8% compared with the same period of last year. Among them, the order volume of hotels and homestays increased by 73.6% year-on-year, and the order volume related to scenic spots increased by 216.8% year-on-year. Maijishan Grottoes, Fuxi Temple, Maijishan Hot Springs, Xianrenya and Yuquan Temple are the top five scenic spots in terms of order volume. Shaanxi, Henan, Jiangsu, Guangdong, Ningxia, Beijing and Sichuan are the top provinces and cities in the source of off-site orders.

　　On various social platforms, many netizens called for authentic Gansu Mala Tang to be eaten in their hometown, and called on Tianshui people to open stores in their hometown. Some physical stores that see business opportunities are trying to seize the opportunity … …

　　Gansu Beijing Office, located in Beijing Feitian Mansion, has recently put up "Gansu Mala Tang", attracting many netizens to taste the punch card. And a female shopkeeper from Tianshui also decided to open a Gansu Mala Tang restaurant in Sanlitun, one of the hottest business districts in Beijing, which is expected to be officially opened in half a month.

　　On March 19th, University of Science and Technology Beijing issued a document saying that "Gansu Tianshui Mala Tang" will be launched in the school cafeteria at noon. In order to reflect the authenticity, the school emphasized that "soul juice" is all from Gansu, and it brings together two ingredients of Tianshui, namely Gangu pepper and Qin ‘an pepper. The potato powder is elastic and smooth, Gangu chili pepper is full of oil, and the most delicious thing is the intersection of fresh hemp and Qin ‘an pepper. In fact, as early as 2012, the school established a fixed-point assistance relationship with Qin ‘an County, Gansu Province, and purchased Qin ‘an pepper every year. This year, a new potato powder procurement project was added, and the canteen master went to the local area for research and study, bringing students a better experience.

　　Searching with "Gansu Mala Tang" as the key word through Tianyanchao platform, in the past three months, there have been more than 200 new Mala Tang shops in China. Among them, since February this year, there have been more than 150 newly opened Gansu Mala Tang shops in China. According to the data of Tianyancha Professional Edition, up to now, there are more than 9,600 mala Tang related enterprises in Gansu, while there are nearly 900 related enterprises in Tianshui City alone.

BA.4 and BA.5, the new branches of Omicron with stronger communication power, have recently attracted attention. The new branch has triggered a new infection peak in South Africa, and the Portuguese National Institute of Health also estimates that its growth advantage is 13% more than that of BA.2.

Screenshots from the nextstrain website show that the different Omicron branches represented by yellow, orange and red are iterating rapidly within half a year, and the new branches represented by orange and red are also expanding in the cracks.

Screenshot of nextstrain website. According to the uploaded sequencing data, since December last year, the mainstream branches in Omicron have gradually changed from BA.1 (shown as 21K) to BA.2 (shown as 21L) to BA2.12.1 (shown as 22C), and the area occupied by new branches is also expanding.

The new branches of Omicron are frequent. Is the current COVID-19 vaccine still effective? Do the branches BA.2 and BA.5 need their own vaccines? Should the update of COVID-19 vaccine keep up with the variation of virus? How to keep up with the virus mutation? With the above questions, the reporter of Science and Technology Daily contacted and interviewed a number of industry experts.

Is the current vaccine still effective?

Does the mutation branch in Omicron constantly trigger new infection peaks, which means that the current COVID-19 vaccine will be invalid?

Authoritative experts in the industry responded to the Science and Technology Daily reporter and said: "Current vaccines can still provide the most basic protection in ensuring the reduction of severe illness and death.. The epidemic in COVID-19 has been going on for two and a half years. At present, it seems that there is no possibility for Covid-19 to achieve zero infection through vaccination. COVID-19 vaccine can ensure the effect of reducing infection and avoiding serious illness and death. "

Regarding the role of the current vaccine in epidemic prevention and control, the person in charge of vaccine-related production enterprises in COVID-19 holds the same view: "The existing vaccine is no problem in preventing severe illness and death at present, but it will not be 100% anti-infection."

Many statistics or research results from the real world show that the current vaccine plays a significant role in preventing severe illness and death. For example, the latest data in Hong Kong (as of May 25th) showed that the mortality rate of those infected in Omicron who were not vaccinated was 3.04%, while the mortality rate of those infected with three doses of vaccine dropped significantly to 0.04%.

Do the branches BA.2 and BA.5 all need their own vaccines?

According to WHO’s latest weekly report on epidemiological progress in COVID-19 (May 25th),Omicron BA.2 and its progeny pedigree (BA.2.X) have become the main popular variants in the world.At present, the relative proportions of BA.2.X, BA.4 and BA.5 are 94%, 0.8% and 1% respectively.

This shows that during the evolution of Omicron mutant, the branch BA.1 is disappearing. However, the reporter learned that at present, most vaccines against Omicron in China are designed and developed for BA.1.

Whether it is necessary to develop new vaccines for new branches, the industry generally judges from the perspective of vaccine protection: if the activity of neutralizing antibodies produced by the original vaccines against mutant strains is greatly reduced, it is necessary to develop new vaccines; If it still has a good neutralizing effect on the mutant, there is no need to develop a new vaccine.

Although Omicron strain mutates rapidly and different branches appear, butNew vaccines will not be introduced for each branch, and there is no need to do so.. Relevant experts reminded: "If you continue to monitor, you will find that many mutations will disappear soon."

Can vaccine update keep up with virus iteration?

In the technical route of vaccine development in COVID-19, the design cycle of mRNA vaccine is short. On the basis of a mature platform, the design can be completed within 7 days, and the preclinical trials including animal experiments can be completed in about one month.

Industry experts engaged in the research and development of mRNA vaccine said that for the variant branch, the mRNA vaccine does not need to obtain the strain, but only needs to optimize the vaccine sequence according to the variant sequence and test the expression efficiency, and then pre-clinical trials can be carried out. Covid-19 Omicron mutant mRNA vaccine, developed by Suzhou Aibo Bio, China, has been approved for clinical research in UAE.

In response to virus variation, the technical route of inactivated vaccine can also complete the preclinical study of new strains in a short time by establishing an emergency system. The reporter previously learned that it can be advanced to the clinical trial application stage about 2 months after obtaining the new strain.

Keep up with the variation, can COVID-19’s vaccine market learn from the "flu model"

In order to cope with the frequent mutation of viruses, there are precedents for vaccine updates to follow closely. For example, the influenza virus vaccine is recommended by WHO every year, and countries produce new influenza vaccines accordingly.

In order to keep up with the variation in Covid-19, can the "flu model" be used for reference in the marketing of vaccines in COVID-19?

“It is estimated that the future development of COVID-19 vaccine needs to adopt the influenza model.The authoritative experts mentioned above responded, but WHO is unable to recommend mainstream strains through monitoring now, because the pandemic is not over yet.

Another advantage of the "flu model" is that it greatly shortens the time to market for new vaccines. Because there is no need for re-approval, its batch issuance system can effectively shorten the period from vaccine development to marketing. Experts in the industry said that after polishing and construction, various technical routes and platforms have gradually matured, the research and development speed has been accelerated, and the production process has been stable.If the "flu model" can be adopted in the development and marketing of vaccines in COVID-19, the time to market for new vaccines will be greatly shortened.

WHO has revealed some unexpected phenomena in its weekly epidemiological report: available data show that BA.4, BA.5 and BA.2.12.1 spread faster in countries where BA.1 was once prevalent, but less in countries where BA.2 was prevalent; The vaccination degree of each country may have an impact on the popularity of the new branch of Omicron. Visible,Covid-19 mutation and vaccine immunogenicity are mutually causal and widely related, and updating the vaccine in time may have an impact on virus mutation.

1905 movie network news　Last weekend (01.18-01.20), the box office revenue in North America totaled $129 million, up 8.2% from the previous week. Monday is Martin Luther King Memorial Day, and we will continue to have a holiday. Among the new films on the list, M Knight Shamalan’s new film "Mr. Glass" earned $40.58 million in the first three days of the first weekend, which was close to $40.01 million in the first week of "Split" in 2017 and higher than $30.33 million in the first week of "Never Die" in 2000. Not surprised or pleased. The media mostly think that the content is too full and too anxious, but there is no emotional touch. They think that they are not attracted to fans of "The Dead Robber" or "Split" and become ungrateful at both ends. Another new film is a slightly niche animated film "Dragon Ball Super: brolly". The plot is based on the animated series "Dragon Ball". After telling the story of Wukong and brolly, it is biased towards fans. In the first week, it won 10.65 million US dollars in 1233 theaters in North America, but it attracted a limited audience and was not optimistic about its subsequent box office development.

"Mr. Glass" is too full of word of mouth, and the fans of "Dragon Ball Super: brolly" are serious

Recommended star rating of Mr. Glass: ★★★

"Dragon Ball Super: brolly" Recommended star rating: ★★★ (specific fan direction)

On the weekend of Martin Luther King’s Day, M Knight Shamalan’s new work "Mr. Glass" earned 40.58 million US dollars at the box office in North America from Friday to Sunday, which was close to 40.01 million US dollars in the first week of "Split" in 2017 and higher than 30.33 million US dollars in the first week of "Never Die" in 2000. In all the Martin Luther King Memorial Weekends, this box office ranked third, only behind the $41 million of "Sasaki Brothers" in 2014 and the $89 million of "American Sniper" in 2015. The production cost of Mr. Glass is $20 million, and the global box office has reached $90 million. These figures undoubtedly prove Shamalan’s ability to make money again. In fact, even in the low tide of Shamalan’s poor reputation, many of his films were very profitable. For example, in 2008, the production cost of "Death" was 48 million US dollars, and the final global box office was 163 million US dollars. In 2004, the production cost of "Mystery Village" was 60 million US dollars, and the final global box office was 256 million US dollars. What he really didn’t earn was only.

At present, the cinema score of Mr. Glass is B, IMDb score is 7.2, MTC score is 42, and the freshness of rotten tomatoes is 36%. "Hollywood Reporter" commented: "As the final part of the trilogy, this film is like a mixed bag, twisting all the previous narrative clues into one, but unfortunately trying too hard to tell the audience that Shamalan has a very special idea on the popular comic adaptation story, but the result is not shown." "Variety" said: "It’s still very happy to see Shamalan return, but" Mr. Glass "takes up more of our time, but it can’t create any touches, which makes people feel busy and dazzling, but there are few moving moments of emotional resonance." "International Screen" thinks: "Apart from McEvoy’s performance as a smoke bomb and Bruce Willis’s convincing charm, the whole film has actually not gone far in the concept of’ what happens when people become superheroes’." Due to the poor reputation, the follow-up box office track of Mr. Glass may be more similar to the Clover Files, which was opened on the weekend of Martin Luther King’s Day in 2008. The film earned $40 million in the first week and $80 million in the local box office.

Another noteworthy new film last weekend was the classic IP cartoon "Dragon Ball Super: brolly", which was only opened in 1,233 theaters in North America, aiming at clearly attracting a specific fan base, and won $10.65 million at the box office in three days in the first weekend. The story of "Dragon Ball Super: brolly" is a continuation of the upcoming TV animation "Dragon Ball", which tells the story between Saiyan brolly and Wukong. The film was nominated for the best cartoon in the 42nd Japanese Film Academy Award and was very popular among fans. At present, the media scores and fans’ scores of all platforms are very high, with IMDb score of 8.6, MTC score of 64 and the freshness of rotten tomatoes of 80%. The Los Angeles Times said: "brolly is ready to give Dragon Ball fans everything they want in a movie, and other viewers may feel lost in this world." Midwest Film Journal also thinks: "For the novice Dragon Ball, this film provides a dazzling animation time." There are also some media that don’t like it, such as "Movie Country", which means: "This is a meaningless garbage culture animation only for fans."

Old movies: "Neptune" local over 300 million "Upward" has a strong box office stamina.

Warner Bros.’ s superhero movie Neptune has entered its fifth week. After the weekend, the film’s box office outside North Captain America: Civil War has reached 759 million US dollars, surpassing’s 745 million US dollars, and the local box office has also exceeded 300 million US dollars. At present, the film’s global total box office is 1.063 billion US dollars, which is still 3 million US dollars short. Amber Heard’s Neptune can surpass Johnny Depp’s highest-grossing Pirates of the Caribbean: The Coffin. At the same time, Aquaman is also the movie with the strongest box office stamina after Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Age of Mutations in 2014. It is expected that Aquaman will have a good room for growth before The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part and Listen to Men’s Hearts come out on February 8.

In the following week, Upward Bound kept quite steady, with the box office of $15.6 million in three days over the weekend, which was only 23% lower than that in the first week. Earlier, many films in kevin hart fought bravely in Martin Luther King’s weekend, such as the above-mentioned Sasaki Brothers, Customized Best Man and Sasaki Brothers 2, and so on. This time, Upward Bound was opened in this schedule one week ahead of schedule. At present, the total box office of Upward is US$ 43.98 million. As long as it exceeds the US$ 48.7 million of Supersize Beauty last year, it will become the third domestic box office of STX Entertainment after bad mother and Christmas of Bad Mom. Sony’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse currently has a global box office of US$ 322 million, which has surpassed The LEGO Batman Movie’s US$ 311 million.
