The gathering of comedy uses comedy as a pen to describe the joys and sorrows of the people; Take happiness as a beam and convey thousands of gestures of real life.

Comedy is always the cultural necessity of people’s life. In the process of innovation in the whole comedy content market, the Central Radio and Television General Station has made continuous breakthroughs in the comedy track, especially since last year, the frequency of innovation and the intensity of innovation have been strengthened.

Following the comedy program "Golden Comedy Class", "Life is the Most Playful" and other innovative works, "Comedy’s Joy" appeared on CCTV-3 every Saturday night from November 19th. The program brings together comedy "backbone" and multi-comedy styles to open a happy party.

"No matter’ pushing new people’,’ creating new works’ or’ starting a new game’, the performance of Comedy’s Happy Gathering is remarkable," praised Yan Jingming, vice chairman of the Chinese Writers Association. Starting from tapping the "flowing water" of creation, the program, with the original intention of cultivating and expanding the backbone of comedy industry, is a stage for the unknown comedy dreamers, strugglers and pioneers to display their talents, and at the same time, it allows different comedy styles to learn from each other, try all kinds of innovative possibilities of comedy in full discussion, discussion and cooperation, and lead comedy creation to take root in reality, refine life and serve the public, which embodies the innovation of literature and art at the reception desk.

Observe the real life and provide the audience with good emotional value continuously.

"Comedy’s Happy Gathering" means "gathering" to be happy ".At the beginning of the program, the host Xiao Ni revealed the significance of this program, which is to provide continuous happiness for the audience, especially to accompany the living room time on weekends.

The gathering of comedy uses comedy as a pen to describe the joys and sorrows of the people; Take happiness as a beam and convey thousands of gestures of real life. Since the launch of the two issues, vivid works have either made people laugh or cry, or made people laugh and cry together, conveying the happy energy of healing people’s hearts.

In the cross talk "Going Home", Fei Jin and Chen Xi vividly interpreted the entanglement and helplessness between young people’s accompanying their families and social entertainment during holidays, and reflected the understanding and support of their elders for their children; The essay "Understanding is Victory" brought by Mahua FunAge simulates various scenes that people may encounter in the real society, telling everyone to understand each other more in life; Wu Bi, Dai Xu and E Jingwen’s essay "If Marriage is a Business" satirizes the bad phenomenon of "haggling over every ounce" in treating marriage with a wedding rehearsal like business negotiation. Li Ding and Zheng Jian’s cross talk "A Serious Anti-fraud Manual" presented a hilarious "Open Anti-fraud Class" …

The gathering of comedies is rooted in public life, focusing on practical topics that people like to see and feel. Since the launch of the two issues,# How long has it been since you had dinner with your parents # # Will you refuse unreasonable demands in the workplace after 00 #A number of works and other derivative topics have aroused heated discussion among the audience. They all think that these works are not sensational or didactic, but they make people think and gain something after laughing.

"What is particularly eye-catching is that" The Joy of Comedy "has gone to professional judging and adopted the’ audience reservation system’, and the audience of 150 famous comedians at the scene’ reserved’ which comedians can participate in the next round of performances." In the view of Deng Kai, secretary of the Secretariat of the Chinese Writers Association, this model strongly embodies that people’s satisfaction and dissatisfaction should be regarded as the highest standard for testing art in literary and artistic creation, and we must work hard to create works to meet people’s cultural needs and enhance people’s spiritual strength.

"The program function of’ Pinxiao’ is also different from that of traditional professional judges. From Cai Ming, an evergreen in the comedy world, to guests from all walks of life, including comedy recommender Chang Yuan, they are more like’ companion groups’, witnessing, encouraging and inspiring the growth of comedians, speaking from the audience’s perspective, and enjoying happiness with everyone. "Deng Kai commented.

Embrace the youth culture and tell the story of China in the voice of youth expression.

No matter the lineup, mode or works, The Gathering of Comedy reflects the production strategy of getting close to young people.

For example, as a predecessor of the comedy circle, Cai Ming, a special guest comedian, is a "5G surfer" who likes to mingle with young netizens as a "post-05" in recent years. "Comedy recommender" Chang Yuan’s superficial social fear changed his mouth to "take over the stalk king" in seconds, which was such a contrast. Once he appeared in the fast circle, netizens commented: "Chang Yuan’s own comedian buff is really unique, and it won’t be cold with him in this scene."

For another example, the stage of the program abandons the red curtain form of the traditional comedy in the past. Whether it is the "round table" gathering scene when the actors are waiting for the stage, or the changeable space on the performance stage, especially the virtual setting scene, it reflects the trend of socialization, life and brain hole that is more in line with the young aesthetic.

For another example, the themes of most of the works that have been broadcast are closely related to the work, life and social thinking of young people. From "Rumors Stop at the Wise Man" to reflect the social rumor phenomenon through the gossip in the office tea room, to "Hello Boyfriend" to spit out her boyfriend’s "romantic" behavior, and "Mom, the Wolf is Coming" satirizes the contemporary people’s addiction to mobile phones … The comedy’s Happy Gathering is based on the principle of "reality is the body, means are the use" and makes the comedy work a substitute for young people with its spicy and hilarious expression.

Among them, "Rumors Stop at the Wise" gained a lot of resonance after it was broadcast. "This is playing my most annoying colleague." "As long as we don’t care, gossip will always get the lesson they deserve." "The content is too real. In fact, the program is telling us not to be cruel and trivial because of gossip, and we should give our care to the really important people around us." From these hot discussions, it can be seen that "The Gathering of Comedy" is gradually gathering young eyes.

Li Chunli, deputy director of the Literature and Art Department of Guangming Daily, said: "Since the program was broadcast twice, young ideas are everywhere, young vigor is everywhere, and young attitudes are everywhere. The program activates the youthful vitality of comedy in a way that not only continues the tradition but also brings forth the new. More importantly, no matter how innovative, the works insist on starting from the Vientiane life, interpreting the stories around ordinary people, involving the various dimensions of young people’s family, friendship and love, as well as many popular social phenomena, and using the warm praise of truth, goodness and beauty and the powerful whipping of falsehood, ugliness and ugliness, so that the audience can gain enlightenment and wisdom while enjoying happiness. "

Provide a cultural platform to import growth nutrients for the prosperity of the industry.

Although comedy programs have become a "red sea", the audience’s pursuit of happiness is endless, which determines that the high-quality supply of comedy programs is very necessary and will last for a long time. Based on this, the main desk stands at the height of promoting the healthy and sustainable development of the whole industry, providing a platform for the cultivation of comedy talents and the development of comedy patterns, gathering high-quality resources and inputting growth nutrients.

Zhang Dexiang, vice chairman of the Chinese Literary Critics Association and doctoral supervisor of Communication University of China, said, "The Comedy’s Happy Gathering has put the spotlight on a group of unknown and tireless young comedians. Some of them study hard and practice hard for many years, and stick to what they love; Some have always been’ bit part’, but they try to be’ big actors’; Some fight in a relatively small field and take a difficult and lonely road; There are also bold innovations that exude the spirit of’ newborn calves are not afraid of tigers’ … Although the works presented to the audience by "Comedy’s Happy Gathering" are not perfect, the young comedians dare to dream, dare to pursue their dreams, and are diligent in their dreams. "

The gathering of comedies is an inclusive stage. Here, comedy has no boundaries, no definitions and no paradigms. As long as you are careful enough, as long as you are "happy", you can come here.

For example, "Kung Fu Man" brought by Jin Woo Kung Fu Troupe skillfully combines comedy and kung fu, and also moves Weiya to the sketch stage. Through two kung fu men competing for the role of the martial arts film hero, it leads to the truth that "learning martial arts first"; The work "Understanding is Victory" combines drama elements and makes the stage a "game of breaking through the customs" that can be restarted. Fei Jin and Chen Xi, young crosstalk performers, simulated the amazing performances of more than a dozen people with their "doppelgangers", showing people that traditional crosstalk actually has fresh expressions … Then, many forms such as mime+magic, music+comedy will appear one after another, bringing more refreshing and excellent works to the audience.

Youth is the future of career. Only when young literary and art workers are strong can literary and art undertakings form a vivid situation in which the waves behind the Yangtze River push forward the waves. In this regard, Zhang Dexiang said in particular: "The Central Radio and Television General Station, with the attitude of knowing, loving, respecting and using talents, guides these young literary and art workers to keep the right path and take the road, encourages them to innovate more and produce high-quality products, and supports them to take the lead and play the leading role. "The Joy of Comedy" has made the public see their light, and I believe they will take this as a starting point to make the future road more solid and open. "

Tucki, with weak sales, is looking for incremental space.

The reporter was informed that the first model MONA M03 with a price of less than 150,000 yuan has entered the offline store for display.

A few days ago, when visiting the store, the reporter of science and technology innovation board Daily noticed that MONA M03 in Tucki was not equipped with laser radar, but only had L2-level assisted driving. Store sales revealed to reporters that this model is priced between 100,000 yuan and 150,000 yuan, which is a "quantity payment" for Xpeng Motors to directly benchmark BYD Qin and Dolphin, and will not be equipped with Tucki XNGP intelligent assisted driving system.

It is worth noting that six models are currently on sale in Xpeng Motors, and the target of 280,000 vehicles for the whole year of 2024 has been set. However, according to relevant data, the actual sales volume in the first six months was 52,028 vehicles. The just released July delivery data was 11,000 vehicles, up 1% year-on-year and 4% quarter-on-quarter.On the whole, Tucki has only achieved 23% of the annual delivery target.

Since the beginning of this year, car companies represented by BYD have started price wars.At present, new energy vehicles with the price range of 150,000-300,000 are the main positions for various brands to compete, which makes Xpeng Motors in a state of being attacked by both sides.

Bank of America Securities previously pointed out that Tucki’s sales volume will benefit from the launch of new models and the launch of modified models of G6 and G9 in the first half of the year, which may improve from the second half of the year. In addition to launching 150,000-class vehicles, going to sea has also become the exploration direction for Tucki to improve its predicament.

Want to bid against BYD, the top match is only 150,000.

The reporter of science and technology innovation board Daily visited the Xpeng Motors store in Shenzhen, and found that MONA M03 had come to the store, and there were several young people around the car to experience the car statically.

In-store sales told the science and technology innovation board Daily reporter: "MONA M03 in Tucki is targeted at young people, among whom there are many female users watching the car show. This model is designed to iterate over our previous P5 series models. "

It is understood that unlike the sub-brand Ledao established by Weilai, MONA is only a sub-series of Xpeng Motors Automobile, which originated fromDidiThe Leonardo da Vinci plan to build a car, Xpeng Motors andDidiThe investment in MONA project has reached 4 billion yuan.

Gu Hongdi, president of Xpeng Motors, once revealed: "DidiWe can provide Tucki with market resources for marketing, and we will jointly build a fast charging station. Besides,DidiWe will also recommend Tucki-related financial and insurance products to our’ Mona’ customers through its platform, and carry out further cooperation in future Robotaxi operation. "

It is understood that the store visited by the reporter of New Consumer Daily belongs to the dealer cooperative store in Xpeng Motors. According to the in-store sales, the prices of direct-operated stores and dealer stores remain the same, but the price of MONA M03 has not yet been announced. "Now it’s just the exhibition car in the store. There will be a press conference in mid-August, and then it will be sold directly. The estimated price is within 150,000."

According to the reporter from the sales office, MONA M03 is not equipped with laser radar and high-order intelligent driving function, and only supports L2-level assisted driving function, so it is out of Tucki XNGP intelligent assisted driving system.

According to insiders, most car owners who buy Xpeng Motors are interested in its intelligent driving system. "In order to reach the price range of 100,000-150,000 yuan, MONA M03 needs the ultimate compression cost, and it is normal not to be equipped with laser radar. However, whether it can impress consumers only by relying on L2-level assisted driving needs to be tested by subsequent product performance."

The latest financial report released by Tucki in the first quarter of this year shows that its revenue and net profit have achieved positive growth. In cooperation with Volkswagen, Xpeng Motors seems to have found a new growth point by "selling technology".However, in terms of sales volume, it has fallen behind the original new car-making forces Weilai and LI.

Recently, various car companies have published the performance of sales data in July, among which the data released by Xpeng Motors shows that,In the first seven months of this year, a total of 63,000 new cars were delivered, a year-on-year increase of 20%. Among them, 11,000 new cars were delivered in July, up 1% year-on-year and 4% quarter-on-quarter.

Since 2024,The delivery volume of Xpeng Motors has been hovering around 10,000 vehicles, with the lowest point even less than 5,000 vehicles.Xiaomi, which has been delivered only in April this year, has caught up with only one model on sale. At the same time, the sales of brands such as Zero Run and Krypton are also ahead of Tucki by four figures.

MONA M03 is regarded by the outside world as a "model with a large amount of money" in Xpeng Motors. When introducing MONA M03, store sales also said that this model is directly targeted at BYD Dolphin Series and Qin Series. "Compared with models of less than 150,000 yuan, MONA’s biggest advantage is its assisted driving and younger design."

In order to find the increment, Tucki has accelerated the layout of overseas markets.

Obviously, in addition to pushing low-priced models, Tucki needs to find new growth points, and has set its sights on overseas markets.

It is understood that Xpeng Motors has established dealer partnerships in UAE, Egypt, Thailand, Hongkong and Macau. He Xiaopeng, Chairman and CEO of Xpeng Motors, told the media during the 2024 Beijing Auto Show: "This year, we hope to expand the export scope of Xpeng Motors from the original three countries to more than 20 countries." According to statistics, in the first quarter of 2024, the cumulative export sales of Xpeng Motors reached 61.8% of the total export volume in 2023.

Judging from this year’s actions, Tucki G6 has undertaken the important task of Xpeng Motors to expand the international market. It is reported that this model has left and right rudder switching function to meet the driving habits of different countries.

At present, Tucki G6 has launched the right rudder version in Thailand, Malaysia and other countries and regions, and plans to start delivery this year. In addition, the G6 model will be introduced to Australia and will be officially launched in the fourth quarter of 2024.

A few days ago, Xpeng Motors officially entered the Singapore market, opened a pop-up shop in uob Square, the center of Singapore’s central business district, and provided test drive service. As for its first official store in Singapore market, it is expected to open in September this year.

The reporter noticed that the main model sold in this flash shop in Singapore is Tucki G6. The G6 sold locally in Singapore has two options: 66 kWh and 87.5kWh. The latter has a maximum WLTP cruising range of 570 kilometers. The starting price of the 66 kWh model is S $209,999, and the starting price of the 87.5 kWh version is S $224,999.

Some people think that Xpeng Motors’s choice to enter Singapore coincides with the local government’s concept of paying attention to environmental protection, and the small land area is more conducive to the laying of infrastructure such as charging piles.

At present, apart from BBA in Europe and America, Kia and Hyundai in South Korea, China’s new energy vehicle brands are mainly BYD, Euler, Ai ‘an and Chery, and Krypton and Tucki have also chosen to join this year. According to statistics, the top three new energy vehicles with the highest sales volume in Singapore in 2023 were BYD, Tesla and BMW.

A car owner who lives in Singapore told the New Consumer Daily that the Singapore government plans to gradually reduce the use of fuel vehicles. By 2030, the government will stop issuing new licenses for internal combustion engines. At the same time, Singapore’s Ministry of Transport reduced the road tax on trams, up to 34%. "From a policy perspective, the (Singapore) government is pushing the popularity of electric vehicles."

However, the above-mentioned little red book blogger also admitted to the reporter that the cost of owning a car in Singapore is high, and the bulk of the car price includes 20% tariff, additional registration fee (ARF) starting at S $7,000, and car ownership certificate (COE) starting at S $90,000. "China electric cars have to pay taxes as they come, and there is no price advantage."

In contrast, at present, the guide price of G6 in domestic manufacturers is between 199,000 and 276,900 yuan, and the promotion price of dealers in many cities has been as low as 179,900 yuan.

Some professionals engaged in automobile import and export trade told the reporter of science and technology innovation board Daily that there are still many challenges for domestic new energy vehicles to go to sea.

In his view, taking Xpeng Motors as an example, the biggest selling point at present lies in its intelligent driving function. However, according to the previous situation in Europe, the P7, the most popular model in Tucki, can’t fully exert its strength in Europe. Because software and intelligent driving are related to data regulations, they are restricted by the European market.Considering the factors of smart driving and brand, Xpeng Motors has no advantage over traditional brand electric vehicles in Singapore.

As for the Singapore market, the person said,Although China brand has technical advantages, there are challenges in brand awareness, after-sales network, localized operation, consumer psychology, supply chain and so on."The next three to five years will be a crucial period for China electric vehicle brands to expand into Singapore and even Southeast Asia."

Apple’s spring conference in 2024 is approaching. Just as everyone is still guessing which new products will appear at this conference, Apple decided to play some new tricks this year and directly updated the MacBook Air without any notice.

This morning, Apple CEO Tim Cook promoted two new products in his personal Weibo. Cook said that the new 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air are equipped with powerful M3 chips, and their performance is better than before! Two perfect sizes, incredibly light and portable design, and all-day battery life.

Source: Weibo

Considering that the spring conference is just around the corner, Apple is eager to release new products, which means that Apple, which is slow in AI hardware, is in a hurry. So, how did Apple’s first answer about AI hardware perform?

01

MacBook Air finally ate M3 chip.

Yes, that’s right. The biggest change of the new MacBook Air is that it uses the M3 chip developed by Apple. This chip was a heavy product released by Apple at the press conference last fall, and it was first installed on iMac and MacBook Pro. After a lapse of five months, MacBook Air finally used this chip.

M3 MacBook Air is equipped with 8-core CPU and up to 10-core graphics processor, which supports up to 24GB unified memory and 2TB solid-state storage. Thanks to M3 chip, the new MacBook Air will support dynamic cache function, which can dynamically allocate appropriate cache for different tasks, improve the efficiency of GPU use, and support grid shading rendering and hardware-level ray tracing acceleration technology to achieve stronger graphics rendering effect in games, office and other scenes.

This has greatly improved the productivity of MacBook Air. Although it is slightly inferior to the MacBook Pro with M3 Pro and M3 Max, it is infinitely close to the M3 version of MacBook Pro. This makes the positioning of MacBook Air more three-dimensional, not only for light office scenes, but also for some professional scenes.

Source: Apple

In order to let people have a more intuitive feeling about the performance of M3 MacBook Air, the official directly moved M1 MacBook Air as a reference. Compared with M1 MacBook Air, M3 MacBook Air’s performance is improved by about 1.6 times, and its graphics processing speed is up to 5.8 times.

At the same time of performance improvement, the energy consumption control of MacBook Air has also been upgraded accordingly, and the battery life of up to 18 hours is enough to support users’ long-term work needs.

02

stay true to our original aspiration

It’s still the familiar 8GB.

The reason why Xiao Lei focuses on the performance part is because the new MacBook Air is mainly upgraded with M3 chip, and its appearance, screen, interface and weight are the same as before.

Add support for Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3 technology and external display. We just need to know about these functions, because at best, it can only be regarded as Apple’s self-breakthrough, and users have become accustomed to competing products at the same price in the market.

In terms of price, the new MacBook Air has already landed in the Bank of China store, and will be ordered at 9: 00 am on March 6 and officially released on March 8.

The price of the new 13-inch MacBook Air top (8-core CPU/10-core GPU/16-core NPU/24GB+2TB) is 17,999 yuan, and the prices of other versions are as follows:

8-core CPU/8-core GPU/8GB+256GB, 8999 yuan.

8-core CPU/10-core GPU/8GB+512GB, 10,499 yuan.

8-core CPU/10-core GPU/16GB+512GB, 11999 yuan.

The price of the new 15-inch MacBook Air top (8-core CPU/10-core GPU/16-core NPU/24GB+2TB) is 19,499 yuan, and the prices of other versions are as follows:

8-core CPU/10-core GPU/8GB+256GB, RMB 10,499.

8-core CPU/10-core GPU/8GB+512GB, 11,999 yuan.

8-core CPU/10-core GPU/16GB+512GB, 13499 yuan.

If you have a greater demand for equipment storage space, brother Guo said that adding money can solve it. You need to add 1,500 yuan for each additional 8GB of memory, 1,500 yuan for each additional 256GB of hard disk, 70W charger and 150 yuan.

In today’s era when mobile phone and computer manufacturers are crazy about volume storage, Apple still maintains its own rhythm. The entry-level Air of 8999 yuan still provides 8GB+256GB configuration, which shows that the previous "golden memory" storm has no impact on Apple. It’s not that 8GB+256GB will have a great impact on the performance of MacBook Air, but in front of Youshang’s large memory, Apple users will have some bad feelings more or less.

03

So this is the answer sheet of Apple AI PC?

The improvement in the performance of the MacBook Air is certainly surprising. The most striking thing, however, is that Apple called the new MacBook Air "the best AI consumer notebook" in the official website publicity-this is the first time that Apple officially mentioned the concept of AI notebook, and it is also the first time that Apple has made a statement to follow the trend of AI hardware.

Prior to this, Apple completely abandoned the car-building project and turned to overweight AI, which made the outside world look forward to Apple’s actions on AI mobile phones and AI hardware.

2024 is the first year of AI PC, and head computer manufacturers including Lenovo, Asus and Hewlett-Packard have launched their own AI PC products. The new MacBook Air is the first AI PC launched by Apple after adding AI. But I prefer to call it AI MacBook than AI PC.

Source: Apple

AI MacBook is a brand-new concept introduced by Apple based on M3 chip which integrates 16-core neural network engine, central processing unit and graphics processor. MacOS uses the powerful performance of M3 chip to provide users with real-time voice-to-text translation, text prediction, visual understanding, auxiliary functions and other functions.

In addition, the AI MacBook has a rich AI application ecosystem, which helps to support AI-enabled applications and help users better use these applications. For example, using Pixelmator Pro to automatically enhance photos, using "AI Math Assistant" in Goodnotes 6 to check homework, or removing background noise in videos through CapCut. ……

Apple official said that MacBook Air supports cloud-based solutions and runs optimized AI models locally, such as Large Language Model (LLM) and Image Generation Diffusion Model, so that users can better play the powerful productivity and creativity of AI.

Previously, Mac users imitated Chat with RTX and launched a framework of exclusive Mac: Chat with MLX. Let Apple computer run local big model, and complete seven kinds of open source big models, such as local document summary and YouTube video analysis. Although the effect is achieved, the complicated setting process makes ordinary users flinch. Nowadays, the official support for importing AI models will greatly reduce the cost for users to use AI functions.

As the first experience of Apple’s AI PC, the AI MacBook is remarkable in both the number of AI functions and the attitude towards AI applications. However, at present, Apple has only opened the AI interface, and there is still no official big model of its own, which is slightly inferior to the progress of other manufacturers.

In addition, Microsoft has just launched the Copilot Pro subscription service to provide users with AI functions. This service clearly puts forward new requirements for PC computing power and memory: the new Windows AI PC will need at least 40 TOPS computing power and 16GB memory to meet the threshold of AI PC. According to this standard, the MacBook Air is not an AI PC, at least the 8GB version is not counted.

Of course, Apple has a famous saying that "Apple’s 8GB is equivalent to other 16GB", so it can’t be refuted that the new MacBook Air meets the "16GB" memory of AI PC.

Write it at the end

For consumers, with the blessing of Apple M3 chip, the performance of the new MacBook Air has become even better while keeping the body small. It will also become one of the best solutions in the current computer market with both daily office and light professional productivity.

For Apple, the release of the new MacBook Air is not only an iteration at the hardware level, but more importantly, the first step of combining AI with hardware. Apple’s attitude shows that AI hardware is not a gimmick, but a battleground for military strategists.

If the new MacBook Air is a test of Apple’s AI field, then the next WWDC developer conference may be the key work of Apple’s AI. After all, AI hardware is inseparable from software and hardware, systems and application ecology, and the cloud and terminals support each other. At the same time as the terminal is AI, the software system is as important as the AI of application ecology. At present, IOS18′ s update on generative AI has attracted much attention. It will be the base of Apple’s AI hardware ecology, which will directly affect Apple’s most profitable iPhone business, and will also determine whether Apple can continue its head position in the era of smart phones in the AI ​ ​ era.

Then, whether Apple’s new MacBook Air can be "8GB as 16GB" or not is a qualified AI PC, and Lei Technology will provide an evaluation as soon as possible. Regarding the dynamics of Apple’s AI hardware and all AI hardware, please pay attention to Lei Technology, which focuses on AI "hard" technology.

palm oilAs an important vegetable oil, it plays an important role in the global food and non-food industries. It comes from the fruit of oil palm trees and is mainly produced in Southeast Asia, such as Malaysia and Indonesia. The climatic conditions in these areas are very suitable for the growth of oil palm trees.

The production process of palm oil begins with the harvest of oil palm fruit. After a series of treatments, including cooking, squeezing and refining, the fruit finally gets palm oil. Because of its high stability and low cost, this oil is widely used in food processing, such as baked goods, instant noodles and chocolate. In addition, palm oil is also used to produce non-food products such as biodiesel and cosmetics.

Palm oil futures is a popular commodity futures contract in the futures market. Investors can buy and sell palm oil futures contracts through exchanges to hedge the risk of physical palm oil price fluctuations or speculate. The price of palm oil futures is influenced by many factors, including the relationship between supply and demand, climate change, policies and regulations, and the global economic situation.

The following are some key factors that affect palm oil futures prices:

When investors participate in palm oil futures trading, they need to pay close attention to the changes of these factors and make wise investment decisions by combining technical analysis and fundamental analysis. In addition, understanding the historical price trend and current market dynamics of palm oil market is also very important for forecasting the future price trend.

In a word, palm oil, as a multi-purpose vegetable oil, plays an important role in the global market. The active trading in its futures market provides investors with rich investment opportunities, but also brings corresponding risks. Therefore, it is very important for any investor who intends to participate in palm oil futures trading to deeply understand the characteristics and market dynamics of palm oil.

　　CCTV News: TodayAt the press conference (11th), a reporter asked, "The Interim Measures for Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan Province Residents to Participate in Social Insurance in the Mainland (Mainland)" was officially promulgated. Participating in social insurance in the Mainland is a matter of immediate and practical interest to Taiwan Province compatriots. What tangible benefits will Taiwan compatriots get from it? In this regard, Zhu Fenglian, spokesperson of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, introduced that the social insurance system is a kind of social welfare treatment provided by the state. The "Interim Measures" are very comprehensive in considering the applicable personnel of Taiwan compatriots and have achieved full coverage for Taiwan compatriots insured in the mainland.

　　Zhu Fenglian said that the promulgation of the "Interim Measures" is an institutional arrangement to gradually provide equal treatment for Taiwan Province compatriots in the mainland, which was put forward by the 19th National Congress, and it is also a concrete measure to implement the important proposition of the Supreme Leader General Secretary on promoting cross-strait social security and sharing of public resources. It means that Taiwan compatriots who work, live and study in the mainland can enjoy the relevant welfare system provided by the state like mainland residents.

　　Zhu Fenglian, spokesperson of the Taiwan Affairs Office:The "Interim Measures" are very comprehensive in considering the applicable personnel of Taiwan compatriots, and have achieved full coverage for Taiwan compatriots insured in the mainland. It is not only applicable to employed Taiwan compatriots in various forms such as unit employment, flexible employment and self-employment, but also applicable to unemployed Taiwan compatriots living in the mainland and Taiwan Province students studying in mainland universities. For Taiwan compatriots who participate in the basic old-age insurance for urban and rural residents and the basic medical insurance for urban and rural residents in the mainland, the mainland governments at all levels will give corresponding financial subsidies according to regulations to ensure the social security level of the insured Taiwan compatriots.

　　Zhu Fenglian said that the Interim Measures made special arrangements for Taiwan compatriots to participate in social security in the mainland, taking into account the actual needs of reducing the pressure on Taiwan compatriots to pay fees and returning to Taiwan to work and study. If Taiwan compatriots do not choose dual insurance in mainland China and Taiwan Province, they can not participate in old-age insurance and unemployment insurance in mainland China on the basis of certificates issued by relevant authorized institutions, thus effectively solving the problem of dual insurance that Taiwan compatriots are concerned about. If Taiwan compatriots leave the mainland before reaching the prescribed pension conditions, they can choose to keep their accounts and continue to pay fees when they come to the mainland for employment or residence again. They can also choose to apply in writing to terminate the social security relationship and withdraw the amount stored in the social security personal account at one time.

　　Zhu Fenglian, spokesperson of the Taiwan Affairs Office:The Interim Measures clearly stipulates that Taiwan Province compatriots have the right to participate in five social insurances, of which maternity insurance and work-related injury insurance are paid by employers in the mainland, and there is no need for individual insured Taiwan compatriots to pay any fees, which effectively enhances the scope and intensity of social security for Taiwan compatriots to participate in insurance in the mainland.

Shanghai:

Climate change and the rise and fall of Angkor civilization

Time: Thursday, December 7, 2017 at 19:00.

Venue: Academic Lecture Hall of Shanghai Museum

Speaker: Charles higham (Professor, Department of Anthropology and Archaeology, University of Otago, New Zealand)

In the late Iron Age, the decrease of monsoon and rainy season brought a relatively dry climate to Southeast Asia. Correspondingly, there is more evidence that the agricultural revolution is emerging in these areas, including reservoir construction, irrigation, and rice cultivation and cultivation in specific areas. In the 8th century, with the establishment of Angkor Kingdom, the management of water resources and irrigation system became very important, and became the key factor for the survival of the regime. The deified rulers have always been closely linked with the construction of reservoirs, the diversion of rivers and the construction of water conservancy networks in paddy fields. The ever-complex water conservancy management system became the key to the country’s well-being at that time. However, another climate change in the 15th century brought unpredictable climate fluctuation. Persistent drought and rapid precipitation led to land subsidence and the destruction of water conservancy facilities. Angkor, as the center of political power, soon died out.

Brick writing in ancient China

Venue: Floor 2, Linqiong Building, Ancient Books Museum, National Library

Speaker: Tianshu Zhu (distinguished professor, doctoral supervisor, Central Academy of Fine Arts)

The history of China’s calligraphy tells us that the evolution of calligraphy always stems from the people’s need for simplicity and the pursuit of beautification in the practice of using characters. Therefore, folk calligraphy can show us the various sections of this evolution process most directly. As an important part of folk calligraphy, brick writing has a position that other aspects can’t match, that is, the prosperous period of brick writing-from the Han Dynasty to the Six Dynasties, is precisely the most intense period of the evolution of calligraphy and brushwork. Moreover, the large number of brick texts is unmatched by other folk books. If the study of bamboo slips in the previous period has aroused a lot of enthusiasm, then today, the indifference to brick writing can not but cause us to think deeply.
