See you at 8 o'clock in the news, a little more insight. Meet you on time every morning at 8 o'clock in the morning and look out into the bigger world.
Where is the "way out"? This is probably a question that many sports students have pondered. At the Tokyo Olympics, Chen Lijun won the gold medal in the men's 67 kg weightlifting category. In Chen Lijun's view, the so-called "way out" is "as long as you reach a certain level, you will think about what to do next."
In the past month, after winning the championship, Chen Lijun has been on the hot search several times. His 28 years of life flashed like a marquee on the Internet. All the stories seem to have the best ending in the summer of 2021: a teenager from a poor background, who has been practicing weightlifting for many years, has experienced failure and pain, and finally, stands at the top of the Olympic podium.
"As you get into the industry for longer and longer, the more you feel that weightlifting has changed your destiny." When asked about the specific moments that changed his destiny, Chen Lijun said: "When you win the championship."

At the beginning of his weightlifting career, Chen Lijun was only 10 years old, and he did not understand what "practicing sports" meant, "just practicing". In the second year of training, Chen Lijun's father was diagnosed with diabetes and brain cancer, and the family's income was mainly dependent on his mother Chen Youzhen working in the brickyard. Chen Youzhen once thought about not letting his children practice weightlifting, but coach Jiang Yilong was unwilling to give up. There was really no money, so Jiang Yilong paid for Chen Lijun's expenses in the sports school.
Instead of "changing fate", the first thing the young Chen Lijun needs to solve is economic problems. After his father fell ill, he wanted to take care of weightlifting while earning money, and entering the provincial team became the best choice. In his eyes, after entering the provincial team, the road in front of him became clearer: "You want to get a salary when you enter the provincial team, you want to get results after you get a salary, and you want to enter the national team after you have a result, and you definitely have a goal." ”
All the difficulties turned around in the fall of 2013. At the National Games in September of that year, Chen Lijun won the men's weightlifting event in the 62 kg category. This was the first time he felt that lifting weights could really change his destiny.
When will weightlifting be done? Age has a more specific meaning for athletes. Three years later, Chen Lijun was 31 years old and stood on the tail of the "golden age of male weightlifters". What challenges will you face? Chen Lijun did not know, but he had the object of his study: Lü Xiaojun. This summer, 37-year-old Lu Xiaojun won another Olympic gold medal, becoming the oldest weightlifter in Olympic history. Chen Lijun and the coach said that if he had the opportunity, he "still wanted to go to Paris to fight." Read the full >>>
A few days ago, the Beijing News published a special report on "Electric Vehicle Trapping and Solution", saying that the reporter visited the Beijing electric vehicle market and found that many car shops had illegal modification behaviors such as installing batteries and increasing the maximum speed. The chaos and dilemma of the use of electric vehicles have once again aroused concern.
It's common sense that electric cars can't be modified. Whether an electric vehicle can pass the "safety barrier" depends on the stability and continuous performance of the overall performance, which includes the choice of battery, the layout of the line, the comfort and convenience of the exterior design, etc. Electric vehicles meet the factory safety inspection standards, which also means that they have the ability to operate safely in terms of realizing design functions and resisting risks as a whole.
The reality, however, is that the modification of electric vehicles never stops. The various hidden dangers caused by this sting the nerves of public safety from time to time, and the occurrence of the 7.18 Hangzhou electric vehicle explosion accident is related to the illegal replacement of the original battery of the electric vehicle with a lithium battery. Even if you only increase the speed of electric vehicles, it is very easy to cause traffic accidents.

Behind the repeated prohibition of "modification", in addition to the lack of safety awareness and the pursuit of excitement of some people, there are also a considerable number of employees such as express delivery and takeaway employees, in order to work needs, choose to install batteries, enhance mileage, increase the maximum speed and so on. Behind the modification of electric vehicles is the problem of social governance.
For the chaos of electric vehicle modification, in addition to increasing safety precautions at the technical level, such as appropriately raising the technical threshold for lifting the speed limit, setting up controllers on vehicles, preventing illegal modifications, etc., it is also necessary to give guidance and coordination to the needs of special groups, such as coordinating the reasonable demarcation of work areas by express delivery companies to prevent "running around the city"; guiding the design of the takeaway timing delivery mechanism to be more humane, rather than just grabbing speed.
At the regulatory level, the whole chain supervision mechanism should also be improved, and the supervision of electric vehicles after being licensed should also be followed up in a timely manner. In particular, some modification behaviors such as illegal installation of trunks and batteries need to be investigated and dealt with in a timely and decisive manner. In view of the profit-seeking behavior of sales outlets, electric vehicle repair shops, etc., it is also necessary to increase the punishment. Read the full >>>
Recently, news about Universal Studios has been appearing in the eyes of Beijing citizens. What does Universal Studios mean for a city? What are the future prospects for theme parks? The reporter interviewed Dr. Carissa Baker, assistant professor at the Rosen School of Hotel Management at the University of Central Florida.
What can Universal Studios theme parks offer visitors? According to Carissa Baker, the Universal Studios theme park gives visitors the opportunity to immerse themselves in the world of cinema, providing visitors with a joyful, stimulating, beautiful and immersive experience in the story. In addition, going to the theme park can create pleasant memories with family and friends. Beijing has many important cultural attractions, but Universal Studios Theme Park offers a whole new and different experience.

Carissa Baker believes that, like Disneyland in Shanghai, Universal Studios Beijing will become a "destination" theme park. It will boost tourism in the city and become a new entertainment venue for locals. Opening theme parks also provides many new jobs and generates revenue for other local businesses, especially in the hotel and catering industry. In addition, universal studios theme parks will continue to benefit after the pandemic is over.
At present, there are four Universal Studios in the United States, Japan and Singapore. Based on past experience, what do you need to pay attention to when operating Universal Studios in Beijing? Carissa Baker said it's important for theme parks to thrive because of repeated visits by tourists. To keep the experience fresh, theme parks need to offer special events, shows, etc. to ensure that visitors want to come more than once. Over time, theme parks must also constantly innovate and offer new attractions.
Regarding the development prospects of theme parks similar to Universal Studios in China, Kalissa Baker said that she believes that in China, people are very interested in the entertainment form of theme parks, and the market is very large. "From Hengdian Film and TV City in Dongyang, Huayi Brothers Film World in Suzhou to Three Kingdoms Film and TV City in Wuxi, we can see that the Chinese public is very interested in the film experience."

Have you ever been "poisoned" by brushing short videos and can't stop? Recently, the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) solicited opinions from the public on the Provisions on the Recommendation and Administration of Internet Information Service Algorithms (Draft for Solicitation of Comments), which made corresponding provisions on the content of algorithms that make people "poisoned".
In terms of consumer choice, the Draft for Comments stipulates that enterprises need to provide users with a convenient option to turn off algorithm recommendation services. Many people complain that the algorithm caters to the recommendation, which makes people can't stop. In addition, algorithms catering to the audience will also produce an information cocoon effect. Therefore, it is indeed possible to reduce such phenomena by shutting down the algorithm.

However, a person who knows that he is in an information cocoon, but is still immersed in it, generally does not actively turn off the algorithm. In fact, most people don't know they're in it, and they don't actively turn off the algorithm. This does not mean that platform algorithms cannot make a difference. Algorithms should take the initiative to break the information cocoon and push different concepts and content to users. This is corporate social responsibility. After all, maintaining a pluralistic society is ultimately good for the long-term growth of the business.
The Draft for Comments also stipulates that algorithm recommendation service providers shall inform users of their provision of algorithm recommendation services in a conspicuous manner, and publicize the basic principles, purpose intentions, and operating mechanisms of algorithm recommendation services in an appropriate manner.
Public opinion's criticism of algorithms stems largely from the opacity of algorithmic mechanisms. In a way, another way to solve the "can't stop" or information cocoon is that algorithms should become more transparent. When the algorithm becomes transparent and gives more choice to the consumer, it can also largely calm the consumer's sense of uncertainty and being manipulated.
For the supervision of algorithms, a basic premise is to understand that if they are used reasonably and standardized, algorithms can create new value. The reality also shows that if there is no algorithm, the development of short videos, takeaways, and e-commerce platforms will be greatly affected.
In general, the Draft for Comments imposes many restrictions on the algorithms of enterprises, increasing the choice space of users and requiring enhanced transparency of algorithms. These are conducive to curbing improper behavior and promoting the benign development of algorithms. Read the full >>>
The United States is being tested by Hurricane Ada. "This is a 'life-threatening' storm that could wreak havoc." U.S. President Joe Biden said at a meeting of the U.S. Federal Emergency Measures Agency.
On August 29, local time, "Ada" landed in Louisiana, USA, with wind speeds of up to 240 kilometers per hour. Louisiana Gov. Edwards said Ida was one of the strongest storms to hit the state since the 1850s. The Associated Press wrote that "Hurricane Ida looks like a sequel to Hurricane Katrina in 2005." ”

Hurricanes have caused widespread power outages. There are more than 1 million outages in Louisiana and Mississippi, and the number of power outages is expected to continue to increase as Ada moves inland. Hurricanes also have an impact on energy supplies. The data shows that as Ada approaches major offshore oil fields in the United States, about 95% of oil and gas production near the Gulf of Mexico is temporarily suspended.
Last August, Hurricane Laura made landfall in the southwestern Louisiana coastal area. A year later, Louisiana suffered another strong storm. The New York Times pointed out that the "driving force" behind strong storms may be climate change. The researchers found that as ocean temperatures rise, so does the frequency of rapidly strengthening Atlantic hurricanes. In the 1980s, the probability of a hurricane rapidly strengthening was about 1 percent, and now its probability has risen to 5 percent.
Before Ida landed, about tens of thousands of people fled Louisiana. To those who remained, Edwards reassured, "We're not the same state we were 16 years ago." "However, despite the detailed deployment, the emergency rescue work could not be carried out quickly. CNN noted that it was the severe weather brought by the hurricane that complicated the rescue effort.
Edwards said a robust search and rescue operation would be launched as soon as possible, with about 21 search and rescue teams ready to launch an emergency search and rescue after the storm subsided. But the storm is far from over and could wreak further damage to Louisiana, with "the full extent of the damage not known until the sun rises." Read the full >>>
