Is it true that California advocates "obscene" sex education classes? Don’t be fooled by rumors again!

After verification, the news quoted in this blog post itself is false. As early as 2016, the fact-checking section on the Snoops website had refuted this fake news that was sent in 2015. Intercept the original rumor as follows: 

The photo shown in the original article is actually not a photo of Sharon Mercer, a substitute teacher in Florida, but a photo of Carlyle Jansen, the founder and owner of a progressive and female-friendly sex shop in Toronto, who was invited to talk about sexual health in high schools in Toronto. But Ms. Jansen told us that she also teaches sex education classes for adult audiences. The photos shown in the original article were taken in a college-level class (not in the sixth grade), and "she will not introduce the gestures and tools appearing in the pictures into the content of high school."

In view of the fact that the core information in this news is false, other information contained in the news is also very suspicious. In addition to showing abnormal sex education classes, it is also said that California public schools guide 6-year-olds to question their sexual orientation and their gender identity. Since this information does not give any source and supporting evidence, we think it is likely to be false.

First of all, the name of this bill is California Health Youth Act.

                                       Photo: Full-text information about Healthy Health Act on the California Court website.

Adoption date: 2015

Effective date: January 1, 2016

Applicable area: California

Education Act Code: 5193051939(AB329)

The main contents of the bill are as follows:

1. All junior high schools and senior high schools in California must carry out comprehensive sexual health education and HIV prevention education at least once (that is, at least twice in total), and it is not allowed to give students simple instructions and guidance.

2. The education given in all school grades must be age-appropriate and medically accurate (that is, it must be accepted by the American Academy of Pediatrics and other organizations). Educational courses must not promote religious teachings, and all parts must be coordinated with each other. 

3. Sexual health education must take into account and respect the needs of students of all genders and sexual orientations. Educational instructions must recognize and affirm different sexual orientations, and it is necessary to include same-sex relationships when providing cases of partners and relationships. Sex education must teach students the knowledge of gender, gender expression and gender identity, and at the same time make students understand the possible harm caused by negative gender stereotypes.

4. The sex education course starts from the seventh grade. These courses must include all safe and effective methods (including condoms, contraceptives and antiviral treatment) approved by FDA to prevent pregnancy and HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases. They must also include information about HIV, pregnancy, sexual harassment, sexual assault, healthy relationships and prostitution, and should also provide resources for local students to get help.

5. Parents must be informed in advance that their children will receive sex education and HIV prevention education, and parents also have the right to check the materials they use before the education course begins. Parents or other guardians can withdraw their children from such education courses by submitting a written application.

6. School teachers and off-campus lecturers must know the latest and accurate medical research information related to this topic and have received relevant training. The district government must regularly provide training to the teaching staff who teach HIV prevention education in the district. Off-campus organizations and lecturers must also follow all relevant laws and regulations when teaching.

7. Sex education courses must be suitable for students with disabilities, language courses and students of all ethnic and cultural backgrounds.

According to the full text of the California Health Youth Act, the bill does not directly involve the content of "giving students tips on how to use sex toys, anal sex lubricants, and defining anal sex and telephone sex as normal sexual behavior" mentioned by Weibo.

Article 3 of the bill involves that "sexual health education must take into account and respect the needs of students of all genders and sexual orientations", that is, it recognizes that "homosexuality" has the same status as "heterosexuality" as a sexual orientation. But it does not refer to the "abnormal love" involving unconventional and anti-ethics.

To sum up, the "sex education course of homosexual perversion" is a part of "California Healthy Youth Act 2015", most of which are false.

In Weibo, American politics pointed out that California "forbids parents to take their children away from these obscene LGBT sex education classes". However, Weibo didn’t explain it in detail, but the attached picture seems to support this view-the picture of Weibo is a screenshot of the article "California classes parents from pulling kids from’ obscenity’ LGBT sex ed classes" published on April 23, 2018 on Your News Wire website (that is, "California prohibits parents from taking their children away from" obscene "sex education classes).

The reporter of the nuclear record found this report through search.

Two interpretations are mentioned in this paper. One interpretation is represented by Kira Davis, a pro-Republican resident of Orange County, California. They believe that the California Adolescent Health Act protects parents’ right to keep their children from participating in sex education without being fined. Because parents and guardians have a decisive role in instilling values about sexual orientation. Kira Davis is quoted as saying that California does not prohibit parents from taking their children out of sex education classes.

 

The other is represented by Ronaldo Winkate, general consultant of Orange County Education Department. They believe that parents who disagree with California’s LGBT policy "may not be able to keep their children from accepting such courses." He believes that parents still have the right to "advise their children not to accept" such courses to weaken the influence of this regulation. The article quoted Ronaldo Winkate as saying that California prohibits parents from taking their children out of sex education classes, but parents can offset the influence of sex education classes through other channels.

As far as this report is concerned, two opposing views are quoted, which is not as sure as the title that "California prohibits parents from taking their children away from’ obscene’ sex education classes", and the title is suspected of exaggeration.

So, is it true that California prohibits parents from "taking their children out of sex education classes"?

The reporter found on the website of the California court that the controversial clause "Can parents take their children away from these sex education courses" was actually revised several times after the bill was first passed in 2015. The related contents of the latest revision (SEC 14.5) displayed on the website are as follows:

                                                        Photo: Excerpt from the latest revised version of the bill

"A. Parents and guardians have the right to exempt some or all of their children from comprehensive sexual health education, HIV prevention education and other related assessments, but they must withdraw voluntarily."

"B. At the beginning of the school year, parents should be informed that their children will receive education related to sex education and HIV prevention. Parents should be provided with a detailed information about this, including information such as materials used in the course. "

But at the same time, in the earlier part of the bill, it was also mentioned that this health bill does not apply to materials and education about relationships, sexual orientation and gender identity in the classroom. In fact, the seemingly contradictory between these two parts of the bill is also a big reason for the confusion and controversy of the public.

Based on this, Snopes.com, an American fact-checking website, called the California Department of Education for an inquiry, and its spokesman’s answer clarified this issue, which is summarized as follows:

1. Parents can withdraw their children from all courses on comprehensive sex education (including preventive education on HIV and STI, sexual orientation, gender identity, relationships, etc.).

2. Parents can withdraw their children from separate courses on HIV and STI prevention.

3. Parents can’t make their children just quit the courses about sexual orientation and gender identity.

                                             Figure: The interface of the California Department of Education website about the bill.

It can be seen that most of this news is false. California parents still have a great degree of choice in their children’s sex education.

The goal of common core state standard is to prepare American students for college and career. The official website of California on the common core curriculum standard shows that the common core standard is the standard of English language and mathematics level.

As shown in the picture, children in G1, for example, should be able to ask and answer the details in the text, repeat the key details, and trace back the characters, scenes and events, main details and so on.

Therefore, the common core state standard basically does not involve LGBT sex education classes.

In addition, the common core is a universal standard in the United States, which represents the expectation for students, but it does not mean the curriculum and teaching materials. Courses are formulated by states, school districts, schools and even teachers based on common core standards, and the course plan of each class is of course formulated by the teaching teachers according to the situation of their own classes. Therefore, the so-called "curriculum being adopted in many States" is also likely to be false.

Intelligent driving down to 100 thousand yuan market: under the equal rights of science and technology, intelligent driving manufacturers are moving towards division

21st century business herald trainee reporter Jiao Wenjuan reports.

"The era of intelligent driving for all is coming!" After the release of the intelligent driving function of the new M7 Pro, Yu Chengdong predicted.

Baojun Yunhai, which was listed a few days ago, comes standard with Lingmiao Intelligent Driving 2.0 Max, bringing intelligent driving into the market of 100,000 yuan; Huawei HarmonyOS announced a time-limited direct drop of 6,000 yuan to 30,000 yuan, and Tesla FSD announced a price reduction of 4,000 dollars to 8,000 dollars in the US market … When smart driving function is becoming the choice of more and more consumers to buy cars, OEMs and suppliers are leading smart drivers into the sinking market.

At present, there are two main types of companies that make great efforts in intelligent driving: one is the main engine factory that insists on the self-developed intelligent driving scheme, and the other is the intelligent driving scheme provider represented by technology companies, and the latter is gradually becoming the "Tier1" in the era of intelligent driving, such as Huawei and Zhuoyu Technology (formerly DJI Vehicle). 

The pressure of reducing costs and increasing efficiency of the main engine factory is being transmitted to the upstream intelligent driving manufacturers. The smart driving scheme of 1,000 yuan has become a trend, and the sinking of high-level smart driving also requires suppliers to reduce costs more and more. However, due to the large investment in research and development in the early stage, poor expected income and difficult financing, the superimposed track is gradually crowded, and the performance of second-tier smart drivers is under pressure. In August, Heduo Technology was thundered, and in the first half of the year, the losses of smart driving business of many second-tier suppliers expanded. 

"The decline in sales profits is an unavoidable topic in the industry." On October 18th, at the theme forum of "China Automotive Intelligent Technology Industry Trend", Qi Zhenghua, CEO of Magic Vision Intelligent Technology, said, "From car companies to suppliers, there are too many players now (smart driving track). For our enterprises, it is necessary to get through the past few years first, and the dawn of the future is still ahead."

"2025 will be the final point of high-level intelligent driving. After five years, high-level automatic driving will begin to become standard; Ten years later, manual driving will become news. " Chen Liming, president of Horizon, once said at the 2024 World New Energy Vehicle Conference.

Smart driving and sinking again: exploring the market of 100 thousand yuan

Generally speaking, the 300,000-yuan model is an entry-level model equipped with L2-level and above high-level intelligent driving. However, in recent two years, the OEM that shouted "equal rights in science and technology" is trying to bring high-level intelligent driving into a sinking market.

From the demand side, "models with high-level intelligence and pricing in the mass market will be products with higher consumers’ willingness to buy cars." Huang Xili, assistant director of soochow securities and chief analyst of automobile industry, said. Hua Fu Securities also pointed out in the research report that smart driving is becoming the main consideration for more and more consumers to buy cars. The order ratio of Tucki G6 Max version is over 70%, and the order rate of high-end intelligent driving version reaches 60% among the 100,000 orders of the new M7.

Zhijia has dropped to the market of 100,000 yuan. Baojun Yunhai, which was recently listed, comes standard with Lingbi Zhijia 2.0 Max, equipped with a map-free city memory pilot, and the starting price is only 109,800 yuan; Deep blue L07 is positioned in the market of 150,000 yuan, among which the model equipped with Huawei Gankun Zhijia ADS SE solution starts at 166,900 yuan.

Zhang Zhuo, general manager of BYD Auto Ocean Network Sales Division, once said that he would continue to give full play to the advantage of "low cost" and hoped that in the next two to three years, BYD’s self-developed and self-produced intelligent driving system would be fully realized as standard for vehicles with a price of about 150,000 yuan or even less.

However, all major car companies are making efforts end-to-end, accelerating the landing of urban navigation assistance functions.

Gao Yinan, chief analyst of changjiang securities Automobile, believes that domestic car companies will maintain continuous investment in intelligent driving. In the short term, NOA in cities will gradually land, and the "end-to-end" intelligent driving algorithm of domestic head car companies will be pushed one after another. Intelligent driving is expected to change from quantitative to qualitative, and the use experience will be greatly improved. 

There are two main ways for car companies to provide high-level intelligent driving services. One is to provide optional packages with high-level intelligent driving functions at specific prices, which are mainly divided into buyout prices and subscription prices; The other type is to use the high-end intelligent driving function as standard through the high-end version of the model, and charge by the car price.

The price of getting on the bus of Zhijia is also constantly decreasing. Since July, Huawei’s ADS high-level intelligent driving scheme has been lowered from 6,000 yuan to 30,000 yuan, and its high-level functional package of Gankun Intelligent Driving ADS SE (Gankun Intelligent Driving Basic Edition) has been purchased at one time for only 5,000 yuan.

On the dark blue model, the standard version price of Huawei Gankun Zhijia ADS SE solution is 20,000 yuan. In the first half of this year, Tesla also announced that the optional price of FSD in the US market will be greatly reduced from $12,000 to $8,000. The 7 V+32 TOPS configuration provided by DJI vehicle will gradually become the standard of 80,000 ~ 150,000 yuan vehicles from this year, and the minimum 80,000 yuan vehicles can have high-order intelligent driving function.

However, the cost of R&D of advanced smart cars is too high. Yu Chengdong once said that Huawei’s advanced smart cars with less than 300,000 yuan are basically sold at a loss. Under the sinking trend of the market, the pressure of cost reduction is being further transmitted upwards, and the intellectual driving technology war is becoming a long-term "capital consumption war" to some extent. 

Smart driving suppliers, the fate is divided.

Most OEMs insist on self-developed or imported smart driving schemes. Under the circumstance of reducing costs and increasing efficiency in the industry, smart driving manufacturers are affected.

"Most startups have basically withdrawn from the market in the past two years, and projects and competition have become more and more concentrated. I think this is a very obvious change in the past two years." Li Lele, executive vice president of Desai Siwei and general manager of Intelligent Driving Division, said in an interview with the media.

As a key supplier in the upstream of the industrial chain, the market share of head smart driving manufacturers has further increased. Ping An Securities pointed out in the research report that by the end of August 2024, Huawei had about 320,000 ADS advanced smart drivers. 

Head manufacturers are leading the market price and cost price of smart driving solutions to continue to drop. In the context of the continuous exploration of high-order NOA, "cost performance" has become the key word of the intelligent driving scheme. In the mass production boarding stage, the scheme of thousand-yuan intelligent driving manufacturers is becoming a trend, and intelligent driving manufacturers compete for cost control strength. The basic version of DJI 7V+32TOPS costs about 5,000 yuan, the hardware cost of Millimeter Zhixing HP170 is only 3,000 yuan, and the raw material cost of the integrated scheme of black sesame intelligent parking is less than 3,000 yuan.

Intelligent driving has been a "burning money" track from the beginning. Without long-term R&D investment in the early stage, it is difficult to achieve cost control. Under the influence of the price war, many smart driving solution suppliers had poor performance in the first half of this year, and some smart driving manufacturers had difficulties in survival.

Even with orders from BYD, Volkswagen, Chery, Great Wall, Tucki and other OEMs, NavInfo’s volume and profit fell in the first half of this year. According to the financial report, NavInfo recorded a net loss of 20.62% to 360 million yuan in the first half of this year, the gross profit margin continued to drop by 12.5 percentage points year-on-year to 33.11%, and its smart driving business revenue decreased by 13.7% year-on-year.

In August this year, due to the tight capital chain, Heduo Technology has begun to dissolve the core departments such as data and R&D and suspend R&D activities. It is understood that the mass production plan of Heduo Technology is far less than expected, which leads to problems in the company’s cash flow. 

Previously, Heduo Technology mainly provided regulatory module support for Guangzhou Automobile’s intelligent driving scheme. According to the plan, this high-level intelligent driving scheme will be carried on Guangzhou Automobile Chuanqi model. However, due to the operational difficulties caused by the break of the capital chain, GAC’s smart driving suppliers have become companies such as Baidu and Momenta.

The current income of smart driving manufacturers can be affected by the fact that the order quantity under market competition is less than expected, or the delay in the delivery of the models of the main engine factory. In the first half of this year, the growth rate of operating income of Zhongke Chuangda’s smart car business slowed down, and the growth rate dropped by more than 37 percentage points year-on-year. The financial report shows that Zhongchuang Keda recorded a net loss of more than 330 million yuan in the first half of this year, more than last year. Zhongke Chuangda said that in the first half of the year, the growth rate of the company’s smart car business temporarily slowed down due to unfavorable factors such as the prolonged acceptance period of automobile manufacturers and the less-than-expected shipment of some manufacturers’ models.

Orders are difficult to sign, and many second-tier smart driving manufacturers mainly get orders through binding with the OEM. An insider of a smart driving supplier told reporters, "Now L2 is already the price of cabbage, but the competition for signing this kind of order is fierce, and there are not enough porridge." 

The iterative acceleration of intelligent driving technology update and "end-to-end" have become the focus of this year’s efforts. "End-to-end is the mainstream direction and requires internal resources from all sides." A smart driving R&D engineer told reporters, "However, this also means that the company’s investment continues to increase." According to public information, Huawei’s expenses related to smart driving are as high as $1 billion per year, and Tucki plans to invest a total of 3.5 billion yuan in research and development of "AI technology with smart driving as the core" this year.

For some smart driving suppliers, the continuous R&D investment has not been filled by timely revenue and financing, which is causing profit losses. The R&D expenditure of Jingwei Hengrun, which has been deeply involved in L4 high-level intelligent driving, is increasing year by year, with a year-on-year increase of 36.03% to 630 million yuan in the first half of this year. But the income has not kept up with the expenditure on research and development. The financial report shows that Jingwei Hengrun recorded a net profit loss of 275% to 330 million yuan in the same period. Jingwei Hengrun originated from the ADAS business of automobile hardware, and is now taking high-level intelligent driving as its main force direction. However, according to Jingwei Hengrun, the company currently has high-speed NOA customer projects in mass production, and it is expected to enter the mass production delivery state next year.

The financing problem can also recreate the next crop. At present, the financing market tends to be cautious, and capital is flowing to NOA high-end intelligent driving suppliers. Judging from the public information, the last round of financing of smart driving star enterprises, including Black Sesame and Horizon, all took place in 2022. A few days ago, Yihang Intelligent, a supplier of self-driving mass production solutions, completed hundreds of millions of C-round financing. The future goal of Yihang Intelligent is to be a medium-to-high-level solution with moderate computing power and realize functions such as high-speed NOA and urban memory navigation. However, it is not so easy to get financing. According to insiders, investors will prefer companies that have already landed projects or have fixed-point cooperation with OEMs.

Another way to seek financing is to go public. Since the beginning of this year, autonomous driving manufacturers have "teamed up" to sprint IPO. According to the prospectus, from 2021 to the first half of 2024, the cumulative loss of Wen Yuan Zhixing, a self-driving unicorn, exceeded 5.1 billion yuan, and it was twice postponed to seek listing financing. Even Horizon, the highest-paid autonomous driving industry in China, is seeking to go public.

More new players-technology companies cross the border, and smart driving solution providers may usher in an accelerated reshuffle. Defying Technology and Iflytek entered the market in the second half of last year, and based on their accumulation in AI and technology, they released their own intelligent driving solutions.

Head manufacturers are making efforts to sink into the smart driving market, and companies without financial strength will face the crisis of elimination. Before the final, high-level intelligent drivers will face a market battle.

China Consumers Association issues children’s toy consumption warning to guard against five kinds of dangerous toys.

  Cctv newsThe China Consumers Association today issued a warning on children’s toy consumption, reminding parents to be careful of five types of "dangerous toys" injuries.

  China Consumers Association invited experts from the Secretariat of the National Toy Standardization Committee to analyze and sort out the injuries caused by common "dangerous toys", and found that the most common injuries caused by dangerous toys are mechanical physical injuries, chemical injuries and injuries caused by misuse of non-toy products. These five types of dangerous toys include:

  1. Small toy parts are easy to fall off, and there is danger of swallowing and suffocation.

  Small ornaments and accessories, such as buttons and marbles, which are easy to fall off in some unqualified toys, are easy to be swallowed by young children or stuffed into their nostrils, resulting in the risk of swallowing foreign bodies and suffocation. If it is a small part with magnetic material, it will bring further harm once it is eaten by mistake.

  According to experts, ifChildren swallowing two or more powerful magnets may cause gastrointestinal perforation or intestinal obstruction, which may be life-threatening in severe cases.

  2. Toys have dangerous sharp points and sharp edges, and there is a danger of puncture.

  Some inferior toys have sharp edges, sharp points, rough burrs and other protrusions on the surface, or the toy structure is fragile, forming sharp small parts, which are very easy to stab children. For example, a kind of fingerPointed gyroOur products have sharp edges and sharp tips that can be touched, which may cause body scratches, pricks and other injuries.

  3. Toys use inferior materials, and there is a danger of chemical pollution.

  There are dangerous toys with chemical pollution, such as plush toys filled with unsterilized waste materials, colorful colored mud, dolls made of inferior plastics, etc. Their sanitary conditions and the migration of chemical harmful substances all pose potential dangers to children’s health. Many small shops around schools sell them."crystal mud"Some of them contain more than a certain amount of borax, which may cause chronic poisoning and pose a safety hazard if they enter the human body through children’s oral and skin contact.

  4. Non-toy products are used as toys by mistake, resulting in injuries.

  Children will use some items in their daily lives as toys, and this kind of improper use hides great danger. Such as children playing by mistake."laser pen"Causing vision loss, and it is common in the family.Water SpiritAlso known asSea baby, bubble beads, water-absorbing shells.. Because it has the functions of absorbing water and retaining water, it is widely used in potted plants and indoor decoration, which may be mistaken for food by children, leading to children swallowing or inhaling it by mistake.

  5. Don’t buy and use toys according to their age, which leads to danger.

  In China, the labeling and description of toys for children under the age of 14 are mandatory. Children of different ages have great differences in physical development and cognitive ability. Violation of the applicable age limit may pose a threat to children’s safety.

  In view of the problems existing in toy consumption, China Consumers Association warned:Do not buy toys without factory name, address and 3C certification mark.Choose suitable products according to your age, and don’t buy "three noes" products in small commodity markets, bazaars and online stores.

  Be careful to buy toys that may have small parts that fall off easily. Avoid buying products with scattered parts, small magnetic parts, sharp metal edges and rough burrs. China Consumers Association said that China has implemented a toy recall system, suggesting that consumers find toy safety risks or injury accidents and report them to the Defective Product Management Center of the State Administration of Markets to prevent the harm from expanding.

The 2024 influenza vaccination guide is coming! Attached with detailed inoculation points →

Tips:

Friends of the general public: Hello everyone! The flu vaccine has been vaccinated in 2024. Autumn and winter are the high incidence periods of influenza. As an acute respiratory infectious disease caused by influenza virus, influenza not only spreads quickly and widely, but also has various symptoms, such as fever, chills, headache, sore throat, muscle pain, cough, etc., and may also have serious complications such as pneumonia and myocarditis, which threaten the health of countless people every year.

Vaccination against influenza can form an effective immune barrier, which is the most economical and effective means to prevent the occurrence and prevalence of influenza. Vaccination with influenza vaccine can not only effectively reduce the risk of influenza virus infection, but also significantly reduce the risk of serious complications.

About influenza vaccine

The best vaccination time for influenza vaccine is 1-2 months before the peak of influenza, and it is usually recommended to complete vaccination from September to October every year. For students who are about to live in school, they can be vaccinated at the end of August or before the start of school in September. It can not only prevent the influenza virus in this winter, but also effectively prevent the influenza virus in next spring.

Does the flu vaccine need to be vaccinated every year?

Need On the one hand, influenza viruses are easy to mutate, and the strains that are popular every year may be different from those in previous years, and the composition of vaccines is also adjusted every year. On the other hand, the protective antibody produced after vaccination can last for 6 ~ 8 months, and the protective effect will gradually weaken over time.

In order to effectively protect the health of ourselves and our families, we hereby issue a sincere initiative:

It is suggested that all citizens who are over 6 months old and have no vaccination contraindications should go to the vaccination unit as soon as possible and get the flu vaccine at their own expense according to the principle of "informed consent". It is recommended that all people who are over 6 months old and have no vaccination contraindications should be vaccinated with influenza vaccine. In particular, medical staff, the elderly aged 60 and above, people suffering from one or more chronic diseases, vulnerable people and employees in gathering places such as old-age care institutions, long-term care institutions and welfare homes, children aged 6-59 months, family members and caregivers of infants under 6 months, kindergartens, primary and secondary schools, supervision places, etc. are key groups, and timely influenza vaccination is even more necessary.

Precautions for vaccination

Health status:

Before vaccination, please inform the doctor about your health and allergy history so that the doctor can evaluate whether you are suitable for influenza vaccination.

Inoculation site:

Influenza vaccine is usually injected into the deltoid muscle of the upper arm. After inoculation, there may be slight pain or redness, which is normal and usually disappears by itself within a few days.

Observe the reaction:

After inoculation, please stay for 30 minutes so that doctors can deal with possible abnormal reactions such as allergic reactions in time.

Follow-up protection:

Although vaccinated with influenza vaccine, there is no guarantee that 100% will not be infected with influenza. Therefore, we still need to maintain good personal hygiene habits, such as washing hands frequently, wearing masks and keeping social distance, so as to further reduce the risk of infection.

Dear residents and friends, the prevention and control of influenza needs the joint efforts of each of us. Let’s take active actions to respond to the initiative of influenza vaccination and protect the health of ourselves and our families. Thank you for your support and understanding!

Take you to understand the flu.

Influenza (referred to as "influenza") is an acute respiratory infectious disease caused by influenza virus, which is harmful to human health. Generally, it is characterized by acute onset, mainly with fever, headache, myalgia and general malaise. The body temperature can reach 39-40℃, and there may be chills, chills, soreness of muscles and joints, fatigue, loss of appetite and other systemic symptoms, such as sore throat, dry cough, nasal congestion, runny nose, retrosternal discomfort, facial flushing and conjunctival congestion.

Influenza viruses are divided into four types: A, B, C and D. The viruses that cause seasonal influenza epidemic are mainly H1N1 and H3N2 subtypes of influenza A virus and Victoria strain of influenza B virus.

source of infection

Influenza patients and asymptomatic infected people.

mode of transmission

Influenza virus is mainly transmitted by respiratory droplets produced by sneezing and coughing of infected people, and can also be directly or indirectly contacted by mucous membranes such as mouth, nose and eyes.

harm

The antigenicity of influenza virus is changeable and spreads rapidly, which can cause seasonal epidemic every year. Influenza outbreaks are prone to occur in places where people gather, such as schools, kindergartens and nursing homes.

The difference between influenza and common cold

The flu has an acute onset, and its symptoms are heavier than those of a common cold. Although most people endure it for a few days, it is good to prescribe the right medicine or even not treat themselves, but some of them can develop into severe flu due to complications such as pneumonia. A few severe cases progressed rapidly, and even died of acute respiratory failure and multiple organ failure.

For adults, if there is a fever at the onset, it is mostly the flu; If you just have a runny nose, cough and no fever, you are likely to have a common cold.

mode of transmission

Influenza virus is mainly transmitted by respiratory droplets produced by sneezing and coughing of infected people, and can also be directly or indirectly contacted by mucous membranes such as mouth, nose and eyes.

preventive

1. Vaccination against influenza is the most economical and effective measure to prevent influenza. In accordance with the principle of "informed consent and voluntary self-expense", timely vaccination against influenza should be carried out nearby to protect the health of yourself and your family to the maximum extent.

2. Taking daily protective measures can effectively reduce the infection and spread of influenza. Maintain good respiratory hygiene habits, cover your mouth and nose with paper towels and towels when coughing or sneezing; Wash your hands frequently and try to avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth; Balanced diet, moderate exercise, adequate rest, etc. Avoid close contact with patients with flu-like symptoms; During the flu season, try to reduce going to crowded places.

3.

China Daily is one of the main propaganda and cultural units in the central government. As a national English daily, China Daily has been pioneering and enterprising since it was founded in 1981. It has developed more than ten media platforms, including newspapers, websites, mobile clients, Facebook, Twitter, Weibo, WeChat and e-newsletter, with a total of more than 200 million media users.

Chizhou, Anhui Province: A large number of bubbles appeared in the river, and the government response was caused by sewage treatment by enterprises.

  △ live picture

  At about 14: 00 on April 1, a large number of floating white bubbles appeared on the Shenshanhe River in Chizhou City, Anhui Province, and some sections of the river were as high as one meter. Videos taken by local residents have aroused widespread concern on the Internet.

  Subsequently, Chizhou organized relevant departments and experts to rush to the scene, and quickly launched emergency response and investigation and disposal work.

  Today (2nd), the local government responded to the cause of the incident. The investigation shows that the foam on Shenshanhe River originates from the rainwater sedimentation tank in the mining area of Changjiu New Materials Co., Ltd. Due to the overload of the sedimentation tank, the drainage is turbid. At 13: 00 on the same day, Changjiu Company added water treatment flocculant polyacrylamide (PAM) at the inlet of sedimentation tank. Flocculants are not fully dissolved in the process of solution preparation, which leads to foam in the water body and floats and aggregates on the river surface.

  Chizhou City said that after checking with flocculant manufacturers and consulting relevant experts, the flocculants used this time are widely used in international and domestic water treatment applications, including raw water treatment, sewage treatment and industrial water treatment, and are not dangerous goods. In the next step, the local government will continue to track and monitor the water quality of this section to grasp the water quality status in real time; At the same time, further in-depth investigation will be made, and the problems found will be dealt with seriously according to the law and regulations.

Sunflowers fall in love with the sun —— Wang Xiaobo, the representative of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China

  CCTV News:On October 18th, 2017, The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China was grandly opened. Comrade Wang Xiaobo, the representative of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and Huaxin Trust Company, and 52 other party representatives from the Central Enterprise System (in Beijing) attended with honor! The representative of party member, who shows the pride of Huadian, how to play a vanguard and exemplary role in his post and how to unite colleagues with the masses, the reporter approached Wang Xiaobo &hellip with curiosity and admiration; …

  Turning over his resume, Wang Xiaobo took up his post in 1993, and worked in finance and auditing positions for more than 20 years. He has been rated as an outstanding party member and advanced worker at all levels for more than a dozen times … … A few days ago, when the reporter came to Wang Xiaobo’s office, the first thing that caught my eye was a photo. A hundred acres of sunflower were competing to open, and a rainbow jumped over the sea of flowers … … Noting the reporter’s observation, he said, "This is July this year, which coincides with the 96th anniversary of the founding of the Party. I took it in the Olympic Park, and it just rained. I think this picture is the most beautiful and should be fixed." He paints this picture with devotion, and his face is as persistent as sunflower and as brilliant as rainbow, which may be the best portrayal of his life.

  Pioneers in hard work.

  Wang Xiaobo’s parents are ordinary people, and Wang Xiaobo’s education since childhood is to "study hard and be a good person". Although it is a simple language, Wang Xiaobo regards it as the motto of family instruction and life. He studies and works all the way, and takes every step steadily. At every critical moment of work, he is resolutely ahead.

  In 2007, focusing on the strategic development of the financial industry, the group company set up a preparatory group of Huaxin Trust Company to reorganize Guangdong Foshan Trust. It was necessary for the government departments of Beijing and Guangdong to report and communicate back and forth, and it was also necessary to find a reorganization partner according to the regulatory requirements. For every member of the preparatory group at that time, it was conceivable that many problems and challenges were faced.

  Working with him is simply desperate. For him, work always comes first. According to the employees who participated in the reorganization, Wang Xiaobo and his colleagues in the finance team went south to Foshan, Guangdong Province for 13 times, and traveled back and forth for more than 50,000 kilometers. During that time, it was almost non-stop. Wang Xiaobo has the drive of "Desperate Saburo". He often burns the midnight oil to calculate accounts. When he is hungry, he eats bowls of instant noodles. When he is sleepy, he takes a nap at his desk. After waking up, he continues to work. Once he even lived in the office for a week. Because his hometown is in Harbin, he rarely has time to go home alone in Beijing. In the two years since the company was reorganized, Wang Xiaobo has never attended a parent-teacher meeting. The old man in the family was seriously ill twice and could not go back because of his busy work. "Dare to challenge the impossible" and "solve the special way out with special ideas". This is a sentence he often says to his colleagues. In 2008, the international financial crisis swept the world, and the two financial institutions originally planned to be introduced as overseas strategic investors were unable to fulfill their capital contribution obligations, which caused the restructuring work to fall into a dilemma and stagnate. Wang Xiaobo and the reorganization team calmly responded, carefully analyzed the internal and external situation, and designed various emergency plans and negotiation strategies. At the negotiation table, he and his colleagues argued with reason and impressed each other with professionalism and patience. After more than 10 times of coordination and negotiation, the Joint Venture Contract and related documents signed by all shareholders were officially terminated.Foreign shareholders announced their withdrawal from corporate restructuring and re-registration, which cleared the way for introducing new shareholders in the next step. With the joint efforts of the preparatory team, the company officially obtained the financial license of China Banking Regulatory Commission on February 9, 2010, and held a grand and enthusiastic opening ceremony in March, thus opening a new chapter in the development of Huaxin Trust.

  Persistence in ordinary posts

  Wang Xiaobo is in charge of the Trust Finance Department, which is mainly responsible for the fund transfer, interest collection and payment of all trust business projects. Every day, hundreds of millions or even billions of funds flow, and the losses caused by a slight mistake are unimaginable. In recent years, 1,540 trust projects led by Wang Xiaobo have accumulated 43,000 receipts and payments with an asset management scale of 940 billion yuan, and none of them have operational risks, thus realizing accurate transfer of funds. Due to the large daily capital flow, the capital cost that affects the company one day may be hundreds of thousands or even millions. Wang Xiaobo often said that "saving a penny is easier than earning a penny, and we should take safeguarding the interests of the company as the maximum". He closely followed the deployment of "improving quality, increasing efficiency and refined management" required by the group company, implemented the methods of "grouping projects and double checking", constantly optimized the time node, personally audited and ensured that each fund went in and out on schedule, and improved the efficiency of capital utilization.

  However, who would have thought that the "financial housekeeper" who manages such a large asset turned out to be a "layman" in the trust industry.

  "I have been dealing with generator sets and coal fuel data for half my life. I just served as the director of operations and the general manager of the trust finance department. When I was in charge of the trust finance work, my heart was really a little embarrassed, just like ‘ Catch the exam ’ As ",Wang Xiaobo said with deep feeling.

  "Catch the exam" is a kind of mentality, but also a kind of wisdom. Facing the brand-new field, in order to build the financial management framework of the company, he went to the advanced units of the industry to study and investigate during the day, was busy with affairs, consulted materials and arranged notes at night, and taught himself knowledge of law, securities, trust, financial enterprise management and other aspects. It is with the drive of "I can’t understand, I can’t understand, and I will never give up" that he drafted eight financial rules and regulations and two accounting methods, initially established an accounting system in line with the company’s actual situation, and launched the trust operation system by means of information technology, becoming the first in the industry.

  Wang Xiaobo served as the director of the company’s project evaluation committee, responsible for the first pass of the company’s business project review, and also served as a member of the risk control committee and the investment committee. He has participated in more than 100 project establishment, risk control and investment committee meetings and reviewed more than 10,000 related materials. Combining with the reality of trust business, he put forward the financial risk concept of strengthening financial attributes, intervening in projects in advance, giving full play to financial functions and controlling financial risks. In the process of project review, analysis, contract conclusion, etc., risks are revealed from the financial perspective in time, the context of project financial management is sorted out, and financial supervision is implemented, thus effectively fulfilling the financial supervision function. "The financial industry is an industry that manages risks, and no project is not the purpose … …” . He gave full play to his financial expertise, enthusiastically put forward ideas and ways for the business department, optimized and adjusted the trading scheme, and avoided the company’s risks to the maximum extent, so as to promote the project landing.

  The responsibility of the secretary of the grass-roots branch

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized at the meeting on strengthening Party building in state-owned enterprises that upholding Party leadership and strengthening Party building are the "roots" and "souls" of state-owned enterprises. The Party Group of the Group Company has solidly promoted the normalization and institutionalization of the "two studies and one doing" study and education, strengthened the construction of the Party branch, and strived to build the grass-roots Party branch into a school that educates party member, the core that unites the masses, and a fortress that overcomes difficulties.

  Wang Xiaobo is the secretary of the third Party branch in the company. "Where there are difficulties, there is party member Pioneer ‘ Training ground ’ " . This sentence has been called hard and loud in the third party branch where Wang Xiaobo is located. Over the past few years, he and party member, the branch, have highlighted the characteristics of Party building and functional posts, taken the actions of "building meritorious service" and "service development" as the basic carriers, condensed the "spirit" of the officers, and given full play to the role of Party building as a leader and an example in promoting enterprise development.

  He sorted out the "family background" of the fifteen party member managers one by one, aiming at the characteristics of the branch party member, such as active young thoughts, scattered jurisdiction departments, high personnel mobility, heavy performance indicators, and weak awareness of party member under the market-oriented conditions. On the one hand, he used his rest time to study the party’s theoretical books and asked the experienced "old party affairs" for working methods; On the one hand, he strengthened the "top-level design" of party building, and explored and implemented the "1+3" party building work method, that is, he built a platform (party member activity day every week) and carried out "a manual (branch work manual), a promise (party member promises to keep his promise) and a pairing (party member people pairing)". "Ideological work needs to be combined with the actual situation of party member team to carry out targeted education … …”

  In his work, he paid attention to innovating the learning management mode of party member, promoted the "micro-party class", and let each party member in the branch take turns to "go to the podium and be a teacher" to exchange learning experiences. He combined the study and education of "two studies and one doing" to carry out the evaluation of party member’s demonstration posts and party member’s promise, celebrated a "political birthday" for all party member, and constantly strengthened party member’s consciousness. He actively innovated the contents, methods and channels of ideological and political work, established the "WeChat Party Branch", used the network to organize party member Education to regularly push learning materials, conducted thematic discussions on "Love Huaxin means love yourself" and "What is party member like", and organized party member to visit the New Culture Memorial Hall and the Li Dazhao Martyrs Cemetery on the spot to review the pledge of joining the Party and inherit the red gene.

  The backbone of the staff and the masses

  It is the employees’ evaluation of Wang Xiaobo that they have sincere feelings and love for the Party, the cause and the masses. No matter what position he is in, Wang Xiaobo always keeps in mind that his first identity is a Communist party member, but party member should enhance the masses’ "sense of gain" by contacting and serving the masses.

  My office doesn’t need a gate. Wang Xiaobo likes to talk with employees, communicate in a harmonious atmosphere, handle problems properly when talking and laughing, and guide employees to smile at life with his life insights. There are many young people in the financial industry, and they are more eager for early growth and self-realization with high academic qualifications and high quality. As a senior accountant, he took the initiative to compile relevant teaching plans and practical financial operations, and guided young people to take the first step in the workplace. He also took the initiative to share his growth experience, impart financial experience and understand workplace rules … … . In the past seven years, two department heads have been sent out in the department he manages, and more than 10 employees in the department have become experts in trust finance.

  "Wang Xiaobo is my eldest brother … …” Interview with young and middle-aged employee Xiao Han told reporters. People who don’t know the situation think that he is a relative of Wang Xiaobo’s family. In fact, this person is not related to him at all, just an ordinary employee of the department. It turns out that Han provided lives in the countryside, and his family conditions are average. The elderly in the family have a stroke and need to be hospitalized urgently. Wang Xiaobo found Han provided after learning the situation. On the one hand, he calmed his emotions, did a good job in ideological work, and let him take care of his father with peace of mind and let go of his ideological burden. On the one hand, he helped to contact the hospital for surgical treatment. He also sent solatium of the trade union to Han provided at the first time, saying, "If you need me, I will be your big brother if I am a few years older than you.".

  I am your big brother, which tells Wang Xiaobo’s inner monologue, and even tells the simplest feelings of a Communist party member for the masses. Over the years, employees have regarded the department as their home, and no employee has jumped ship at will; Young employees will take the initiative to talk to him when they are confused, and he will patiently help them solve their doubts; Who has an emergency, he took the initiative to help tide over the difficulties … … He is so warm-hearted that he regards his employees as his relatives.

  When the interview was coming to an end, the reporter asked him what he expected from the 19th National Congress. He said simply: "My first identity is Communist party member, and my first responsibility is to work for the party. Being elected as the representative of the 19th National Congress this time is the trust of party organizations and comrades, and it is also my greatest honor. I have nothing to say, that is, taking this election as a powerful driving force, I will shine at the grassroots level and reassure the organization." The simple language speaks Wang Xiaobo’s heart.

Parrot Killing, why can’t it be an event in life?


Special feature of 1905 film network Douban 6.3 points, 4 days box office 25 million.


In 2021, films starring directors, actors and actresses were shortlisted for the Young Directors Project Unit of Shanghai International Film Festival, which gained great attention in the industry.


After the film was released two years later, some netizens claimed that it had the greatest emotional impact among similar anti-fraud themes, and it was a complicated female story, praising Zhou Dongyu and Zhang Yu for their screen charm and superb acting skills.


Some netizens also sharply criticized "the genre film that I thought was true, and as a result, the audience found themselves in the killing pig plate" and "there is a feeling of temporarily changing the script after watching" Put All Your Eggs on Fire ".


Also released in September, Hehe is also a venture capital project: "Yong ‘an Town Tales" was selected as the venture capital of the 2020 Film Festival; The Love History of Sangui won the most potential director award at Golden Rooster Film Venture Capital Conference and the winning project jointly recommended by investors and the winning project selected by genre optimization in Beijing International Film Festival.


After landing in the cinema, The Tales of Yong ‘an Town currently has a box office of less than 3 million, and The Love Story of Three Nobles has a box office of more than 4 million, all of which have encountered a dilemma in the market.



Harmony, which stands out from the venture capital platform, is a new director’s work with a double harvest in box office and word of mouth in the previous two years. But this year, there is no movie that has gone from venture capital to release and achieved a box office of over 100 million.


10 venture capital projects completed and released.

"Cosmos" is the most eye-catching, with a minimum box office of only 125,000.


According to the incomplete statistics of 1905 Film Network, among the films released in the cinema in 2023, 11 films have been selected as venture capital units of major domestic film festivals or new director support programs. From February to November, basically, at least one movie hatched and finished from venture capital enters the cinema market every month.


Of the 10 films that have been released, 3 have grossed more than 10 million yuan: "Parrot Kill"; 3 box offices are less than 500,000:; Four box offices are in the million-dollar range: Umbilical Cord, Tales of Yong ‘an Town and Love History of Three Nobles.



From the perspective of market performance, only Cosmic Exploration Editorial Department is the most outstanding and successful, with more than 67 million box office, and high score evaluation on the platform of Cat Taodou, which is generally affirmed by fans and the public. The lowest box office was "The Wild Cafe", with only 125,000.


The market results of other films are not ideal, especially Street Kids. Although the film is the work of a new director, the cast is not "new" — — And the company’s 7 impressions were created and produced, with Guan Hu as the producer and Liang Jing as the chief producer, starring,,, and so on.


Street Baby was praised by the venture capital units of Shanghai International Film Festival, Pingyao International Film Festival and Hainan Island International Film Festival at the venture capital stage. After the film was completed, it was shortlisted as a concern unit of Cannes Film Festival and won many honors such as the best actress at Pingyao Film Festival. Unfortunately, when this work is aimed at cinema audiences, the box office figure is only 164,000.



Venture Capital is a comprehensive trading platform that is dedicated to exploring the new strength of excellent films and creating investment, production, marketing and publicity for high-quality film projects. Venture capital provides a comprehensive stage for fledgling young directors and their projects, but once they enter the logical ecology of commercial development, the film can be shown in the cinema and achieved good results, and the difficulty is higher than that of completing the film.


Take Shanghai Film Festival, the earliest venture capital unit in China, as an example. Shanghai Film Festival Venture Capital has been successfully held for 15 sessions since 2007, and a total of 63 films have been shown in cinemas. On average, more than 10 or 20 venture capital projects are finally selected every year, and only about one-fifth of the 15 projects can reach the cinema smoothly.


After the venture capital project is released, the market performance is basically inseparable from three "outstanding" elements: outstanding type, outstanding lineup and outstanding quality.


Cosmic Exploration Editorial Department won the Best Original Screenplay Award of the Film and Television Venture Capital Association of the China Science Fiction Conference in 2019. At that time, the judges, as well as the top management of China Film and Ali, finally became the producers of this film.



The reason why the box office of the film exceeded expectations lies in the prominence of science fiction+comedy, the strength of the behind-the-scenes team, and the prominence of the film itself in the comprehensive aspects of story, performance, image and expression.


Compared with Street Kids, even with a strong cast and honorary awards, the literary story expression and insufficient quality evaluation (Douban 6.2) have hindered the possibility of the film breaking through in the cinema market.



Both Parrot Killing and Gentle Shell belong to emotional films, which are not the strong type and emotional films favored by the mainstream of the market, because there are practical issues such as "killing pigs" and "mental illness" to add color to the packaging. Zhou Dongyu and Zhang Yu’s "Starlight" lineup will attract more attention than the movie "Rambo Knocking", which is also a realistic literary expression and a pure amateur cast.



Umbilical Cord and Love History of Three Nobles are both from two newcomers, female directors, and they are both supervised by producers. They try to make breakthroughs and explorations in domestic minority themes and fairy tale fantasy love types respectively, which is worth encouraging. Yao Chen’s film company, Bad Rabbit Film, is in charge of "Umbilical Cord" and takes photos; Yao Chen co-starred in The Love Story of Three Nobles, and the cast included, etc.


Regrettably, the genre themes of the two films are still relatively unpopular. Even with the help of a strong cast and famous actors, it is difficult to become a big dark horse in the same competition, even if they do not reach a high level in quality or surprise the public.



Venture Capital → Cinema → Xuanfa

How to become "Life Events"?


In the short-listed projects of major venture capital platforms in China, the investment scale and production volume are often not too large, and there are literary films and genre films. Because it is the first or early work of a new director, the author’s expression or artistic attribute is often heavy and not very commercial. (except for the venture capital meeting for genre films)


Even if the original text of the project is literary and artistic, if it can be commercialized again, it can "turn the stone into gold" in the market. Many film companies aim at this kind of works with commercial potential on the venture capital platform, and Life Events is the most classic case in recent years.


In 2019, the film won the attention of Lianrui Film through Pingyao Venture Capital. The script was originally named "Going to Heaven", combining the director’s own family history, focusing on the funeral culture in North China and the group story of little people. When Lianrui took charge of this project, the film also changed qualitatively.


"I didn’t expect to come in. I didn’t expect to be able to make such a big cinema-scale movie." Liu Jiangjiang once told the 1905 film network that from Going to Heaven to Life Events, he was willing to abandon the expression of a smaller group of people and devote himself to creating more popular commercial films. The film was also a great success, winning over 1.7 billion box office.



For venture capital projects that can’t be adjusted and insist on making literary films, when the works are finished, it is more necessary to find the audience accurately, so that there will be opportunities to return to the original and make profits.


However, at present, there is no cultural atmosphere for watching literary films and art films on a large scale in China and a complete and mature art cinema, and there is a lack of art cinema construction in various places. The director’s new literary work is being prepared for release. He thinks, "It is unrealistic to expect that art films have to have a box office of 100 million yuan in commercial cinemas. I hope that the media and Xuanfa can try their best to care for domestic literary films and give them a crack. I hope that the commercial market can be more inclusive of literature and art and give more seats to literary films. "


Since the current film market mechanism is like this, it is even more necessary for literary films to "use a good knife on the cutting edge" and use accurate publicity strategies after landing in the cinema.


The Tales of Yong ‘an Town was shortlisted for the director’s biweekly unit of Cannes International Film Festival and won the best director of Pingyao International Film Festival, with a douban score of 7.4 and a good reputation. But why is the box office not as bright as the "Cosmic Exploration Editorial Department" that was amazing and Pingyao at the beginning?


The film focuses on the plot and lines, such as "A toast to Chinese movies" and "Nothing will happen in Yong ‘an Town", and pays too much attention to the literary direction, while the road show mode of routine operation and the lack of topics in the network and short video positions are the crux.



How to attract more viewers to pay for a film like Parrot Killing, which is difficult to locate simply by genre and literature, from creation to release?


In the presentation session of the venture capital roadshow of Shanghai Film Festival, producer Don He said that the story of "Parrot Killing" can be filmed in three dimensions: making a film purely discussing women’s psychology at low cost; Balance the author’s exploration of characters’ emotions and the suspense types of women’s anti-killing with the cost of medium weight; Make a commercial film with high cost.


After communicating with the director, Don River chose the second scheme. Obviously, after the film was released, it was questioned: on the one hand, the results of the creation were controversial; On the other hand, the film vigorously promotes the dramatic fraud scene before the screening, but the film itself pays more attention to the introverted subtle expression of the emotional wrestling between women and fraudsters, which makes many viewers have an expected gap and is difficult to understand.



From "Love Myth" and "Life Events", since the establishment of major domestic venture capital platforms, a number of well-received and well-received masterpieces have come out. Venture capital is only the "first stop" for new directors and new projects to make public appearances. Only by continuously polishing good content and finding the right way to hit the audience can it be turned into an equation to win the market.
