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.
Right now, the world is facing the challenges of climate change and urban diseases, and floating buildings are quietly appearing in all corners of the world. More and more architects are eager to embed "blue architecture" into the future of mankind. With technological innovation, people hope that cities will be resilient to disasters and no longer static. Can the Floating City be the next stop for humans to adapt to nature?
The weather in the Maldives has been terrible over the past week. Continuous rainfall and slowly intrusive waves flooded the streets of small islands. "This is usually the case at this time of year, where the government needs to provide millions of dollars to establish temporary housing." Over the past 15 years, Ibrahim Riyaz, a Maldivian, has felt that the effects of climate change are becoming more and more evident in the land.
Higher temperatures, more dangerous sea journeys, more frequent extreme weather phenomena, certain seaside landscapes that are different from childhood memories... Global change is shining into the reality of Maldivians. "One by one, our islands are being submerged by the ocean." At the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26), Maldivian President Saleh said, "If we do not reverse this trend, the Maldives will cease to exist before the end of the century." ”
Now, with the Maldives' first floating city taking shape, riaz sees new hope.
As the director of floating cities in the Maldives, in an interview with the Beijing News, he said, "We believe that floating cities in the Maldives will set a new standard of living and change the mindset of other countries to solve this problem (climate change). ”
In an interview with the Beijing News, Koen Olthuis, founder and CEO of Waterstudio, the Dutch architecture company that designed the floating city, painted a beautiful picture of the "blue city". In his mouth, it was a celebration of the ancient culture of the Maldives; They will act as "city doctors" who will extend cities over the water in an eco-friendly, sustainable and green way, with water as a recipe; Here, residents will no longer be subject to the extremely crowded living spaces in Malé.
But floating cities may not be a "one-size-fits-all solution."
"Floating cities are a very attractive concept, but for many small island nations, they may not have enough money to create such a floating city on the sea." Walton A Webson, chairman of the Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS) and permanent representative of Antigua and Barbuda to the United Nations, said.
In this regard, it is very important for the international community to increase its assistance for climate adaptation to small island states, but more importantly, the international community has worked together to limit global warming to less than 1.5°C. "To achieve this, words and commitment alone are not enough, the most important thing is action, action, action!" Webberson stressed.
Since the outbreak of the epidemic, the health code, as an auxiliary means of epidemic prevention, has been closely linked to the daily life of the public. However, in some places, there have been some phenomenons of cross-border use of health codes, which has made the public worried about the chaos of arbitrary violations of their privacy rights. At this time, the reaffirmation of the principle of health code use by the relevant departments in Guangxi and Sichuan is undoubtedly of considerable positive practical significance.
The relevant departments in Guangxi said that they should always "adhere to the principle that the Guangxi health code is only used for epidemic prevention and control"; The relevant departments in Sichuan also pointed out that in line with the principle of "health code is only used for epidemic prevention and control", in the state of not being able to fully ensure data security, it is not appropriate to authorize the use of data to various units and institutions.
In fact, no matter what the circumstances, the common sense and basic principles of "health codes are only used for epidemic prevention and control" should be constantly reiterated in reality and strictly observed by relevant departments. In the daily social governance, the use of health codes should obviously abide by the boundaries of laws and privacy, and cannot be arbitrarily used in matters other than epidemic prevention, so that they can be reduced to "control codes".
In order to ensure that the health code is not abused, the key is first of all whether the management department of the health code data can stick to its job. At the same time, relevant parties should also form a special prevention and supervision mechanism to fully ensure the security of health code data from the source. For those who cross the line and use health code data in violation of the law, they should be seriously held accountable in accordance with the law, and publicized through the media to form a warning effect, so as to escort citizens' privacy from being infringed by the rule of law.
At present, the relevant laws on the protection of various personality rights such as privacy rights in the mainland have been relatively perfect. The use of laws to ensure that citizens' personal privacy data is not infringed upon is also an important trend in the development of the mainland society in recent years. Therefore, limiting the boundaries of the use of health codes is also based on the legal protection of citizens' privacy rights in the current law.
In this regard, Guangxi and Sichuan and other places clearly require that "health codes are only used for epidemic prevention and control" is obviously a timely move - in the context of public concerns about whether health codes will be abused, the two places once again reaffirmed the rules for the use of health codes, giving the people stable epidemic prevention expectations.

The English Grand Prix in Formula 1 ended at Silverstone. During the launch stage, the car of Zhou Guanyu, a Chinese driver who played for Alfa Romeo Team, was overturned in an accident. Fortunately, Zhou Guanyu was not in serious trouble, and it was a system shaped like a "flip-flops" that saved him. Zhou Guanyu also said afterwards, "Halo saved me today. "What is the system that can save lives at this critical moment?"
F1 is hailed as one of the most dangerous sports, with several serious accidents in history. In recent years, the FIA and F1 have done a lot of scientific research work, taking various measures to maximize the safety of drivers, and Halo, who made a great contribution to the Zhou Guanyu accident, is the most important measure.
The Halo system is made of aerospace-grade titanium alloy and starts at €15,000 per unit. When the Halo system was first introduced, it was called "flip-flops" by fans because of its shape. Due to the impact on the car when driving in uphill corners, the Halo system was questioned by some drivers when it was first introduced.
The Halo system weighs only 7 kilograms, but according to previous test data, in the case of a vehicle-to-car collision, it can withstand a static load of 15 times the mass of the vehicle itself. F1 officials once had a figurative analogy that the Halo system can withstand the weight of a double-decker bus. In vehicle-to-environment testing, the Halo system effectively prevents the rider's helmet from touching walls or obstacles.
After Zhou Guanyu suffered an accident, the car's roll cage shattered, and it was the Halo system that supported the head space to avoid him from being hurt more. Read the full >>>
In recent years, there has been a lot of discussion about "the Tide of the Chinese Music Scene, and it is difficult to produce classics". Sun Nan, who has been debuting for 32 years, as a representative of powerful singers in the 1990s, has witnessed the change of the Chinese music scene from the physical record market to the digital music era. In his opinion, "In fact, what we miss is the memory of that era, but we can't say that the current song is not as good as before." ”
In the 1990s, known as the golden age of Chinese music, Singers such as Sun Nan, Zhang Xinzhe, Han Hong, and Na Ying became famous at this time. In 1996, Sun Nan released the single "Red Flag Fluttering"; Two years later, he released his personal album "Aurora", of which "You're Coming Back" and "Not Seen, Not Scattered" have become classic songs that have been sung to this day.
Many people miss that era, and they are also lost in the lack of classic songs at present. But in Sun Nan's view, the times are constantly changing, and each era has a unique emotional and musical memory, "In fact, what we miss is the memory of that era." When I hear a certain song, I will find the feeling and breath of that time, and it will add a lot of color to the memory. But it can't be said that the song now is not as good as the previous one. ”
Throughout recent years, the Chinese music scene has mostly been pure output. Musicians are relatively independent, their perception and feedback to the market are weak and slow, and music creation is easily disconnected from the market. Music promotion has also turned to online, singers can open live broadcast rooms anytime and anywhere, even Mai sings, interacts, and even chairs do not have to leave. "Although it is easier and more convenient, the online is actually separated from the screen, there are many barriers, and many things are not as direct as the original."
In her many years of singing experience, Sun Nan has also encountered different evaluations from the market or listeners. But for Sun Nan, musicians cannot ask everyone to understand their own music, and different opinions will definitely exist. And he has also passed the stage of demanding people, and now he prefers to ask for himself. This is an important part of the gradual maturity of a musician's psychological construction.
"I write songs now to express my thoughts, my views on life. I didn't think much about how to do this or that platform (fire). The love and love that I want to express at this stage should be detached from life and be about the direction of life. I hope that each capital can find a little guidance in life, or answer some puzzles, which is a creative realm that I want now. Sun Nan said. Read the full >>>
