One arrow in ten years "asks the sky"

  CCTV News:The successful launch this afternoon (July 24th) is the first experimental module of China’s space station, which consists of three parts: the working module, the airlock module and the resource module. It is the heaviest single-cabin active aircraft in the world. The candlestick experimental module has the backup function of several key systems in the core module. It can be said that it is of great significance to the construction of China’s space station, and its many innovative technologies have also set many new records in the development of spacecraft in our country, which is another major achievement made by China Aerospace in its efforts to achieve high-level self-reliance. 

  Behind such a great achievement, the average age of the designer team of the candlestick experimental cabin is only in their thirties, and they are a group of young people. Today’s story about China Space Station, we will listen to the innovative stories of these young people. One arrow in ten years, "ask the sky", to feel the innovative power of this young designer team.

  At 14: 22 this afternoon, the Changwu B rocket carrying the candlestick experimental module was successfully launched.

  Just as everyone was taking a group photo to celebrate, one team was still staring at the computer screen nervously, waiting for an important news.

  About an hour after the launch, the solar wing of the candlestick experimental module unfolded smoothly. Until then, the hanging heart of the team relaxed a little.

  Zhang Jiao, chief designer of the overall system of the candlestick experimental cabin of the Fifth Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology Group:The deployment of solar wing windsurfing is the most important key event in the early stage of our orbit. Only if it succeeds can our aircraft fly smoothly and safely.

  Zhang Jiao is the chief designer of the overall system of the candlestick experimental module, and his team is the team of designers who have been with the candlestick experimental module for ten years. 

  The flexible solar wing is deployed in sections to ensure the attitude stability of the experimental cabin.

  In order to provide enough energy for the space station, the space experiment module carries two huge flexible solar wings, and the length of each wing can reach 28 meters. In order to ensure the attitude stability of the space experiment module, the solar wings adopt a brand-new deployment method — — Expand in sections.

  Zhang Jiao, chief designer of the overall system of the candlestick experimental cabin of the Fifth Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology Group:First of all, in the solo flight stage, expand the length by 1/3 to 1/4, and expand it by about 6.5 meters, so that it can fly in a contracted way first. After the contracted flight, its stiffness will be good and its control will be stable. When we finish the rendezvous and docking, it will be completely expanded again.

  On March 30, 2012, that is, ten years ago, the space station officially shifted from the scheme demonstration stage to the scheme design stage. On the second day, Zhang Jiao, who had just returned from studying abroad, joined the team of space station designers as he wished. In the past ten years, the team of designers, including Zhang Jiao, has overcome many difficulties, constantly innovated and searched for the best solution. In their view, it is the responsibility of their generation of astronauts to do a good job in the space station and use it well in the future.

  Zhang Jiao, chief designer of the overall system of the candlestick experimental cabin of the Fifth Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology Group:On the second day, I officially entered a node of the conceptual design of the space station and joined the design team of the space station. Therefore, I will keep this day in mind. 

  How to successfully transfer the space migration and transposition experiment module?

  Just as Zhang Jiao, a young and energetic man, was about to make a big splash, reality poured cold water on him. After the rendezvous and docking of the port and the core module in the previous paragraph, the candlestick experimental module needs to be transferred to the lateral port before the launch of the Mengtian experimental module. Two big guys weighing more than 20 tons have to complete the migration and transposition in space, and they may roll and drift if they are not careful. What attitude the space station will take to complete this ultra-difficult action is puzzling everyone.

  Zhang Jiao, chief designer of the overall system of the candlestick experimental cabin of the Fifth Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology Group:In what form? What actuator is used for transposition? How to decompose the function of transposition? How to match the time sequence? How to verify the ground? Is the link of verification covered? What can each covered link come back? Answer me, how did my technical indicators match? These are all questions we need to answer, and we haven’t slept well for two years.

  Task-level experiment, function-level experiment, test verification, model flight test, etc. In two years, the team of designers made thousands of experiments through simulation, and finally found the most stable and reliable flight attitude.

  Zhang Jiao, chief designer of the overall system of the candlestick experimental cabin of the Fifth Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology Group:We found that such a transposition posture based on gravity gradient stability is the smallest for posture drift in the transfer process, that is to say, before transposition, I first set the cabin up and turned it into a slender one-line combination. For example, I hold this pen like this, which is actually very easy to roll and roll, but if I hold it, it will be stable by gravity gradient, which is a form of my center of gravity, and it is a basically quasi-stable combination.

  At 6: 59 on January 6, 2022, after about 47 minutes of cross-system close cooperation, the test of the space station manipulator to transfer the cargo spacecraft was a complete success. This is the first time that China has used the space station manipulator to operate a large-scale on-orbit aircraft for the transfer test.

  Zhang Jiao, chief designer of the overall system of the candlestick experimental cabin of the Fifth Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology Group:During the transposition of Tianzhou-2, we have verified the basic configuration and posture in advance, so the scheme we designed before is reasonable, so our subsequent transposition of the experimental module will also follow this posture scheme. 

  Designer team: it is the responsibility of astronauts to do a good job in the space station

  Overcoming the problem of transposition is only the tip of the iceberg in the development process of the experimental capsule. The summary document of the initial sample development stage of the experimental capsule from June 2014 to December 2020 has nearly 700 pages and more than 600,000 words.

  Zhang Jiao, chief designer of the overall system of the candlestick experimental cabin of the Fifth Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology Group:We have nearly 4,000 fault mode countermeasures just for the rendezvous and docking of the experimental capsule and the linear construction of the two capsules, and we can accurately locate and identify the fault at the first moment, and we can deal with it in time.

  Different from other types of spacecraft, the results can often be seen after several years of development cycle, and the development of the space station took ten years. In this decade, the team of space station designers had no chance to celebrate, but only insisted on sitting on the bench.

  Zhang Jiao, chief designer of the overall system of the candlestick experimental cabin of the Fifth Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology Group:It was not until the launch of the core cabin on April 29 last year that we really felt the joy of the first copy. Doing a good job in the space station is to design it well, develop it well, and use it well again, which is the responsibility of our generation of astronauts.

  Zhang Hao, the overall chief designer of the space station system of the Fifth Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology Group:Everyone is United in their efforts, and there is nothing else. They are all thinking about how to do this thing and this model well and do this business well.

  Zheng Hao, deputy chief designer of the space station system of the Fifth Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology Group:The launch vehicle played perfectly and a big stone in my heart fell to the ground. I hope everything goes well in the following work, and then the rendezvous and docking will be completed perfectly tomorrow, which is an important step in the construction of our space station.

Ministry of Water Resources: More than 90,000 reservoirs are managed by people who are responsible.

CCTV News:The State Council Press Office held a press conference at 10 am on June 11th. Ye Jianchun, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Water Resources, introduced the situation of flood and drought disaster prevention and answered questions from reporters.

Ye Jianchun, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Water Resources, said that there are now more than 98,000 reservoirs in our country, of which more than 94,000 are small reservoirs, and some of them are still in danger. The dangerous reservoirs in these reservoirs cannot prevent floods and retain water according to their original design capacity, and play their due role. Therefore, we mainly take these measures in the reservoir:

The first is to compact the responsibility. These more than 90,000 reservoirs are managed by people, and whoever is responsible will be responsible. At the same time, the list of responsible persons and the list of flood control tasks will be published, so that the corresponding responsible persons can assume corresponding flood control responsibilities for the reservoirs.

The second is to guide local governments to implement corresponding safety measures, different reservoirs and different requirements.

The third is to strengthen supervision over the operation of the reservoir. Issue a series of regulations, such as the limited water level of reservoirs in flood season. Before the flood occurs, the reservoir can fall below the flood limit water level, make room for flood interception, and conduct dispatching according to the rules to ensure the safety of the reservoir, and also ensure the safety of the downstream through the dispatching of the reservoir.

According to this series of systems, we carry out supervision. For example, there are 4037 large and medium-sized reservoirs. On-line, we know the current water level and current dispatching measures of these reservoirs in real time, and we can remind them in time if they violate the rules. At the same time, there are some unannounced inspection teams under our line, not only for large, medium and small reservoirs, but also for 11,251 small reservoirs. This year, we will also carry out corresponding inspections on 6,500 small reservoirs and 1,000 large and medium-sized reservoirs, and supervise whether these reservoirs operate in a standardized manner, whether they abide by corresponding rules and whether they execute dispatching instructions, so as to ensure the safety of the reservoirs themselves and play a corresponding role in flood control safety.

Interview with Xu Tong | Documentary will die when the meta-universe comes.

Ten years ago, I first met him.Xu tongDirector.

 

At that time, he took the documentaries "Fortune Telling" and "Old Tang Tou" to communicate with us at school.

 

Ten years later, I was with him again.Minute international short film festivalMeet again in the world.

 

In the past 10 years, the whole world has undergone earth-shaking changes, especially in the past two years, which has reshaped our cognition of ourselves and the world from all levels.

 

So is director Xu Tong.

 

After he turned 50, he said that his world outlook had undergone a powerful update and upgrade.

 

In his own words:"I have now evolved to version 3.0."

 

We had a long talk with director Xu Tong in version 3.0.

 

Talk about how he updates his world view, his understanding of the meta-universe, and where the documentary will go in this context.

Xu tong

Documentary director, screenwriter and writer

Masterpieces: Wheat Harvest, Fortune Telling, Old Tang Tou, Four Brothers, Digging Eyes and Barefoot Doctor.

 

Renew the world outlook

 

Houlang movie:Director Xu Tong, the last time I saw you was 10 years ago, when you were a model. Seeing you again now is getting more and more fashionable, and I almost didn’t dare to recognize it. And when you meet, you will say that your world outlook has changed greatly over the years.

So I was thinking:Perhaps the external modeling has a lot to do with the change of your internal view of time?

 

Xu Tong: Maybe the appearance and the heart are in harmony. After all, it has been 10 years, and not only the world outlook, but also the world is changing.

After making documentaries for so many years, now they all call me."old director"I’m a little dissatisfied.

My world has changed a lot since three years ago, because we were stationed in a privately-run nursing home to shoot (documentary "Nursing Home", 2019). In a county town in the northeast, it was very inconspicuous, not the kind of tall state-owned nursing home.

"Nursing Home" shooting scene

I feel that this is a universe completely parallel to my world (living and working in Beijing).

Sometimes, we really feel that space is not in a space with reality. Even the world is not only our real life. There may be another layer that is a virtual and re-simulated world.

For example, we now live in The Truman Show, and this world is also called "matrix simulation". Because we can be a and b in the smallest matter, it is called "superposition state" Physics 100 years ago has discovered this.

But in any case, since our world is parallel and has become many realities, such as the reality of Beijing and the reality of nursing homes, if the realities of different spaces are so intertwined, your psychological state, behavioral state and mental outlook will change.

Just like fashion, I will feel that I am not fashion, but a little superimposed.

Clothes may be long or short, but it doesn’t matter. What matters is how to stack them in a state that makes you feel comfortable, which is the most suitable for you.

"Nursing Home" shooting scene

 

Houlang film: Is the opportunity for you to change just because of Nursing Home?

 

Xu Tong: The main opportunity lies in.worldview.

For example, "three views are ruined" is often when we are not paying attention, and the world outlook, outlook on life and values are easy to go astray.

Among these three views, I think it is easier to grasp from the technical level, that is, the "world outlook."

Simply put, "world outlook" is about understanding and cognition of the world.

Xu Tong’s Visual Art Works (1)

In the past 100 years, the world outlook of mankind has made a particularly great leap. Generally speaking, our understanding of the world can be divided into three stages:

The first stage, represented by Aristotle in ancient Greece, is a basic description of what the world and the universe are, which is an anthropomorphic description, that is, everything in the world is composed of some basic substances;

In the second stage, Newton’s worldview, he thinks that everything in the world is a mechanical, push-pull relationship, and the relationship between force and force. Newton’s worldview is a mechanistic worldview, just like a machine.

The third stage is the change of the world outlook in the past hundred years, for example, from Einstein, so our world has entered what I called version 3.0, which is out of Newton’s world outlook.

In the past three years, I have made a self-renewal in this world view.

Just like this computer system is not good, we will update and upgrade the system.

 

Enjoy reading and enjoying the shock.

Houlang filmYou have been particularly fond of mentioning physical things in recent years. Where did this information mainly come from?

 

Xu Tong:read.

Why am I willing to talk so much about Houlang movies? Because Houlang (publishing house) is helpful to me.

This is not an advertisement, because they constantly provide me with many books with rich world views. Of course, they also focus on movies, or literature, and picture books like The Lighthouse.

In a word, it opens a window for us to understand the new face of the world.

The day before yesterday, we also talked about the problem of pushing information on the Internet. Although it is very convenient, once you search for something, it will push the relevant news in the right direction. This is called."cocoon room effect", that is, "self-restraint."

Xu Tong’s Visual Art Works (2)

But books don’t take the initiative to find you, only you take the initiative to find books, so it brings you more things, especially translations.

Translation is a particularly good channel for ideological enlightenment, and even I think this kind of translation with a certain depth and a little voluminous is particularly helpful to me.

for exampleHistory of thought in the 20th centuryI lived in a nursing home for a year the year before last, and spent a lot of time not shooting, just looking at these things-I think for a director, this is simply a gift from God.

 

Houlang filmAfter listening to your recommendation, I also recommend our company’s books to you. Our company has a series called "History Hall", which is a brand of historical books, covering the history of the whole world;

There is also a series called "Wisdom Palace", which is a book brand of humanities and social sciences; In addition, there is a series called "Post Wave Science", and there are a lot of books about the universe, ecology and biology.

 

Xu Tong: That sounds good to me.In the past, I only focused on making movies, but now I think we should have a bigger world outlook and constantly re-understand the universe.

 

Houlang filmThe ancients said that "you know your destiny at fifty", and it is very valuable to be so eager to understand the world and update your system in the "year of destiny".

 

Xu Tong: But I really enjoy it. I am a kind ofUneasy, enjoyable and shockingThe state of.

In fact, we all know the basic principles of "quantum mechanics", but what we can’t know is: why can everything in the universe be arranged in an orderly manner without disorder?

 

Documentaries will also die.

Houlang film: Your world outlook has changed so much. Is there any change in your personal work and life?

 

Xu Tong: My novel will be adapted into a movie. Now that it has been publicized,AchengThe old man checks the script, and he is also our art consultant.

 

Houlang film: You need to tell yourself a story.

 

Xu Tong: Right. The story is actually a model. I watched a novel class that day, which was very interesting.

It says that there is a formula for writing stories, which revolves around several issues:

What is your hero’s goal? What is the dilemma? What is effort? What is the failed and unsatisfactory result? What did he overcome and change? This is a basic model. Why are humans willing to discover and build models?

After my worldview was updated to 3.0, I felt that the essence of human nature was not a moral issue at all.

When we read a lot of literature and art, it seems that we are all thinking about human nature. But it was wrong. It was not until I was 50 that I found out:

What is human nature? Humanity is measurement!

How to understand this sentence?

Take our bodies for example. Man is a carbon-based creature, and carbon is the simplest chemical element, so why does such a simple carbon element finally emerge consciousness? This is a very complicated process.

There is a lot of contingency in this process, and finally life comes into being, and life emerges consciousness, and then it is very interesting.

Xu Tong’s new work "They are made of meat. How is meat made?"

Just like when I was a director, I felt that there were waves of information in the field.

When we shoot a documentary, we want to capture this real-time information, as far as possible through intermediary devices outside the body, such as cameras, so that the audience can receive this signal while watching-this is what the documentary is about.

However, due to the limited number of people, especially the limited tools invented by people, we can’t convey all this information, and the information will be "attenuated" in the image-this is the difference between the authenticity of the work and the authenticity of the scene.

Houlang filmThere will always be a gap.

 

Xu Tong: That’s why I hope so much.metaverseandvirtual worldBecause I think it will solve this problem.

Suppose we are now in a meta-universe, and its immersion and simulation have reached the same level as that of our physical body, then we don’t need to shoot the scene to anyone, just want to show him this information.

There is no need for cameras or other intermediaries.

This is the greatest charm of the meta-universe, and it is also the reason why I hope it can rapidly develop into surrealism. By that time, all the space in the future, we can freely enter, this is called."I am with God.".

By that time,The video dies, the documentary dies, and they all become cultural heritage..

 

Documentary is not "filming behind"

Houlang filmSister Xiaoyan’s identity has changed, from a person who was photographed to a person who picked up the camera.

 

Xu Tong: Yes, that’s right. Behind me (filming), there is another person behind her (filming). We always have so many machines at the scene, which are staggered back and forth, which is very interesting.

Tang Xiaoyan producer and photographer

 

Houlang filmWhat’s your identity when you come to the Minute International Short Film Festival?

 

Xu Tong: They set up an art committee, and I am one of them.

I think this idea is still rare, and it is usually the judges. For example, these judges are in this session, and others may be in the next session.

However, the establishment of the Art Committee in the Minute International Short Film Festival hopes to be fixed, that is, if members do not resign, they will always be there. Moreover, the Arts Committee can engage many people, with the purpose of crossing, enriching and diversifying, so that not all of them are filming, not all of them are filming documentaries.

I also often attend film festivals and am constantly evaluated by others. I always feel that some film festivals are really dominated and influenced by the interests of individual judges, which will affect the richness of the final works. There may be many more interesting and diverse things, such as strong expression of social reality.

In fact, my film is to strongly express the reality, but I am particularly cautious and alert to this, which is just one of the ways to express the director’s feelings.

 

Houlang filmIn this process, is there anything that makes you feel refreshed?

 

Xu Tong: I heard something, but I didn’t see it. I can only draw conclusions about what I saw. At present, among the more than 100 short films I have seen, there is no documentary link.

This is also the reason why I am particularly eager to speak out everywhere now:Documentary is really more than just following, and following doesn’t mean following.

Now there is a low-level concept that "following the beat" means "following the beat".

Since the appearance of the character is always the back of the head, he doesn’t know how to take two more steps? Can’t you put the machine in front to shoot the face of the character?

Every interview should take a 45-degree face and a 30-degree face. Why didn’t we know we were going to shoot faces when we made a documentary? It’s been five or six minutes since the character appeared, and the audience still doesn’t know what he looks like.

"Nursing Home" shooting scene

Unless you deliberately create suspense for the audience, at the end of the whole film, he turns around and says, "Oh, so this man is blind", which is ok, right? Or this person is pockmarked, which is quite funny; It doesn’t matter if this person is a scar face.

But you can’t say that you never give a straight face. I am anxious when I see such a documentary. Because you shoot people, the face is the most basic.

 

Houlang film: Yes, that’s right. I just talked to Mr. Dong Bingfeng, and he inspired me a lot in two aspects.

First, he mentioned that the relationship between the audience, the creator and the work has changed greatly, that is, the privilege of the creator is gradually being taken away, becoming an equal relationship with the audience and even creating works together. This relationship will determine the changes in the form and presentation of works;

Secondly, he mentioned that in the post-epidemic era, the relationship between people and between people and the world, including the relationship between artistic creation and the present, is undergoing tremendous changes, which needs to be reflected in our creation accordingly, otherwise the creation is lagging behind.

"Nursing Home" shooting scene

 

Xu Tong: That’s right. Moreover, this relationship is not one-way, it is two-way or even multi-directional, or even parallel at the same time.

For example, if we play the same game in a common space of the meta-universe and understand it as a movie, we can change the script at any time, join new people at any time, form different teams at any time and interact with people around us in different ways.

Interaction is what you just said about equality, because we are in the meta-universe, just like we are in the real world, which is no longer a documentary, but a real scene.

It is no longer the concept of film, but a completely equal interaction, and it is not for whom to show, but the relationship between immersion and experience.

 

Houlang filmMinute International Short Film Festival provides a good space for dialogue: whether we go to see its various unit exhibitions or participate in forums, including other contents derived from it, it is also a kind of dialogue.

The participation of this kind of public dialogue is helpful for creators to open their eyes, update their creative language and update the content to be expressed. It is an inspiration, as well as for the audience.

When there are more and more creators, their works are advanced, novel, experimental, diverse and free, and they are happy as viewers, so they can choose their interested objects more freely.

 

Xu Tong: This summary is particularly good, which means that you have given it a meaning. That is to say, through the Minute international short film festival, you can get a kind ofstimulate. This kind of stimulation is particularly important because it is like what is happening in words.

For example, we are a movie now, we are people, we have seen so many movies, you have interviewed so many people, and participated in so many forums, which is a kind of stimulation to each other.

Another point is that in the current public discourse space, I am pessimistic, and of course it is also a reality, that is, it is shrinking day by day. In this context, such a film festival is particularly important.

Because public space will not expand by itself, but needs such activities to expand and create.

So I think I need to pay tribute to them, or I especially trust them, and I am willing to join them, so as to expand their freedom, so that more people can sit in the cinema or participate in the forum to feel the excitement, and their world view will be upgraded and updated.

Do I have to have an ID card to take the green pass? Investigate the rationality of this matter!

A few days ago, a card friend claimed that he was stopped at a toll station in Henan Province without an ID card. Please review https://www.360che.com/law/231024/185124.html for details. This matter has attracted the attention of many card friends. What documents do I need to check to take the green link? Do I have to have an ID card? Can’t I have other documents? Who has the authority to check the ID card? Can the toll booth staff check it? This article will take a look!

Do I have to have an ID card to take the green pass? Investigate the rationality of this matter!

At present, the official documents have clear requirements for fresh agricultural products. According to the Notice of the Ministry of Transport, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Finance on Further Optimizing the "Green Passage" Policy of Fresh Agricultural Products Transportation, fresh agricultural products on the expressway only need to have one of the animal quarantine certificate, the plant quarantine certificate or the "three certificates" of the origin of fresh agricultural products. Among them, animals and their products rely on animal quarantine certificates, and crop products rely on plant quarantine certificates to pass through toll highways free of charge. Fresh bamboo shoots, fresh chestnuts, fresh aquatic products and fresh eggs and milk can pass through the toll highway free of charge only with the certificate of origin.

In addition to the inspection requirements for Lalutong products, when vehicles pass the inspection at high speed, they need to check four license procedures, namely, driver’s license, driving license, road transport qualification certificate and road transport operation certificate. There is no clear document, and you must have an ID card to take the green link! In the case of Henan toll station before, Kayou also mentioned that he had a driving license, but the staff insisted on asking for an ID card. The rationality of this matter is still in doubt.

Do I have to have an ID card to take the green pass? Investigate the rationality of this matter!

Identity card is the identity certificate of the holder, which is generally used in the process of transportation, hotel registration, bank card handling, medical registration and other affairs. According to Article 15 of the Law of the People’s Republic of China on Resident Identity Cards, the people’s police perform their duties according to law, and when they encounter people suspected of committing crimes, on-site control, emergencies that seriously endanger social security, and other circumstances that require identification according to the law, they can check their resident identity cards by showing their law enforcement certificates.

However, the law stipulates that the people’s police can have the right to check their identity cards under these circumstances, but the staff of the toll station belong to the employees of the expressway investment company, not the people’s police. It stands to reason that they have no right to check their identity cards! Back in the Henan toll station incident, the staff insisted on an ID card to avoid the green pass, and when the card friend questioned whether he had the right to check the ID card, he replied, "I am definitely qualified. No ID card is inevitable. You don’t have an ID card, we can call the police. " What is the basis for the toll booth staff to say "qualified to check ID cards"?

Do I have to have an ID card to take the green pass? Investigate the rationality of this matter!

Because many card friends are very concerned about whether they need an ID card to take the green link, the truck house left a message to the Ministry of Communications and received a reply from the Ministry of Communications.

Reply: Hello, in the document on the "green channel" policy issued by our department,There is no requirement to check the identity card.Issues related to the inspection of identity documents are not within the scope of my department’s responsibility management.

Do I have to have an ID card to take the green pass? Investigate the rationality of this matter!

Previously, the card friend was asked to pay by the toll booth staff because of lack of pull, overload and non-compliance with the Catalogue of Fresh Agricultural Products. This time, the Henan toll booth stopped the card friend on the grounds of "no ID card". This is the first time I have seen it. After consulting the documents needed to take the green link, checking the legal authority of the ID card, and combining with the reply of the Ministry of Communications, the truck house does not agree with the staff of Henan toll station.

What do you think of the rationality of this matter? Talk about your opinion in the comments section!

Black Mountain Gorge: The Story of the Times by the Yellow River

  Villagers set up big wooden ladders to pick pears.

  Tourists driving private cars take ferry boats to the other side to enjoy the beautiful scenery of pear blossoms.

  A couple watered their fruit trees with Yellow River water.

  The female homeowner who made a live tour promotion in front of the old house where the TV series Minning Town was filmed.

  Non-genetic inheritor who guards the Yellow River waterwheel all his life.

  Villagers who harvest buckets of red dates.

  Heishan Gorge is one of the most spectacular canyons in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, starting from Jingyuan in Gansu and ending at Zhongwei in Ningxia, with a total length of more than 70 kilometers. Black Mountain Gorge is named for its towering cliffs and deep rivers, because the exposed rocks in the canyon are mostly blue-black. The Great Wall, built along the steep cliff on the bank of the Yellow River, stretches in thousands of valleys, and there are stone walls, rammed earth walls, beacon towers, closed castles and so on. The cultural heritage of the Yellow River and the Great Wall has created a magnificent, simple and profound Black Mountain Gorge.

  In recent years, I have been going deep into da miao cun, Jingyuan County, Gansu Province, Cui Liu Cun, Jingtai County, and Nanchangtan Village and Beichangtan Village, shapotou district, zhongwei, Ningxia, telling the scenery and stories of Heishanxia with the lens, freezing the life moments of spring and summer, autumn harvest and winter storage, and recording the changes of the times in poverty alleviation and rural revitalization, so as to express my deep feelings and cultural concerns about the Yellow River and the Great Wall.

  One side of the soil and water support one side of the people, relying on the nourishment of the Yellow River water. Several traditional villages scattered in the depths of the canyon are full of fireworks, like a secluded paradise. The waterwheel turning along the bank of the Yellow River and the pear blossoms blooming at the foot of the Great Wall have become the witness of people living along the Yellow River from generation to generation and living together with Heishan Gorge. People here stick to their simple and kind nature, follow the ancient life track, stay with the mountains and listen to the unchanging sound of the waves. They conscientiously inherited their ancestors’ business, raised sheep, farmed fields, and watered the fruit trees, creating a home where homesickness can be placed and the soul can live.

  Famous historical and cultural villages in China — — Nanchangtan Village, as the first village where the Yellow River flows through Ningxia, always draws my attention. Whether the lens focuses on the figures of people in the village, the face of the bride to be married in the boudoir, or the hands of the boatman, every moment is a "Yellow River story" with temperature. The change of a village, the persistence of a custom, and the creation of a farm tool … … Not only let us feel the distance and profundity of crossing historical time and space, but also let us realize the accumulation of the Yellow River culture.

  The Yellow River has been flowing forever. More than 80 years ago, Fan Changjiang, a famous journalist, crossed the Black Mountain Gorge on a sheepskin raft, and was shocked by the momentum here. In "Northwest Corner of China", he said with emotion: "The gorge is not less than the style of Wushan Gorge in the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River." Today, on both sides of the Yellow River, inside and outside the Great Wall, beautiful homeland is still our blood and soul. The unique natural landscape and rich humanistic customs of Heishanxia show the beauty of Chinese history, mountains and rivers, and culture, making the ancient villages along the coast famous far and wide, and more and more tourists are quietly changing here. Connecting roads, building new houses, promoting tourism, getting rid of poverty and tackling difficulties have enabled villagers to run towards a well-off life, and rural revitalization has given the village a new look. This land that has been silent for thousands of years has suddenly accelerated the pace of catching up with the times.

  Photography is a ferryman of time. I hope that in another 80 years, these pictures can still present a vivid picture of the lingering temperature in the historical context.

9 major effects Drinking green tea often has many benefits [2]

  After understanding the efficacy and function of green tea, many netizens may not know the storage method of green tea. Let’s take a look at it with Xiaobian.

  A bogey wet:

  Green tea is a kind of loose and porous hydrophilic substance, so it has strong moisture absorption and moisture regain. When storing green tea, the relative humidity is 60%, and when it exceeds 70%, mildew spots will occur due to moisture absorption, and then acidification will occur.

  Second, avoid high temperature:

  The optimum storage temperature of green tea leaves is 0-5℃. If the temperature is too high, amino acids, sugars, vitamins and aromatic substances in tea will be decomposed and destroyed, which will reduce the quality, aroma and taste.

  Three bogey sunshine:

  Sunlight can promote the oxidation of green tea pigments and esters, and can decompose chlorophyll into pheophytin. Green tea leaves are stored in glass containers or transparent plastic bags. After being exposed to sunlight, their internal substances will react chemically, which will deteriorate the quality of green tea leaves.

  Four bogey oxygen:

  Chlorophyll, aldehydes, esters and vitamin C in green tea are easy to combine with oxygen in the air. The oxidized green tea leaves will make the green tea soup turn red and deepen, which will greatly reduce the nutritional value.

  Five bogey odor:

  Green tea leaves contain high molecular palm enzymes and terpenoids. This kind of substance is extremely unstable in nature and can absorb odor widely. Therefore, when tea leaves are mixed with odorous items for storage, they will absorb the odor and cannot be removed.

Academic circles respond intensively to gene editing babies: resolutely oppose strong condemnation

  Recently, scientist He Jiankui announced that the world’s first genetically edited baby immune to AIDS was born in China in November, which caused widespread doubts from all walks of life. On the 27th, the Ministry of Science and Technology, China Association for Science and Technology and China Academy of Sciences successively responded to the incident of gene editing baby: explicitly banned and resolutely opposed.

  Three departments responded to the gene editing baby incident

  On the 27th, in the "Minister’s Teahouse" held by the State Council Information Office, Xu Nanping, Vice Minister of Science and Technology, said that the Ethical Guiding Principles of Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research promulgated in 2003 stipulated that human embryos could be genetically edited and modified for research purposes, but the in vitro culture period should not exceed 14 days from fertilization or nuclear transfer. If this "genetically edited baby" is confirmed to have been born and is prohibited, it will be in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations of China.

  China Association for Science and Technology Life Science Association issued a statement on the 27th: stick to the bottom line of scientific research ethics, resolutely oppose illegal gene editing of babies, and comprehensively investigate and punish the institutions involved.

  On 27th, the Scientific Ethics Construction Committee of China Academy of Sciences issued a statement on the official website of China Academy of Sciences, which mentioned, "We are highly concerned about this matter, and resolutely oppose any individual or unit to carry out the clinical application of human embryo gene editing under the circumstances of uncertain theory, imperfect technology, uncontrollable risks and explicit prohibition of ethical laws and regulations. We are willing to actively cooperate with the state and relevant departments and regions to conduct joint investigations to verify the relevant situation, and call on relevant investigation agencies to announce the progress and results of the investigation to the public in a timely manner. "

  122 scientists jointly strongly condemned.

  Immediately after the announcement of "Gene Editing Baby", many people questioned it. On that night, 122 China scholars issued a "Joint Statement of Scientists" through @ Intellectuals Official Weibo:"We, as biomedical researchers, resolutely oppose any attempt to edit the genetic genes of human embryos without strict ethical and safety review at this stage! ! ! Strongly condemn! ! !”

  Gene editing babies face multiple doubts

  At present, the academic and public doubts about genetically edited babies mainly focus on the following aspects:

  Question 1: Is it safe for two babies to knock out CCR5 gene?

  Question 2: Ethical and moral issues of this technology.. Hawking, a famous physicist, is worried that once there is a genetically modified Superman, the "unmodified human" may not be able to compete, gradually disappear, or become "unimportant", and human beings will compete for "self-design".

  Question 3: This technology can be done long ago without any innovation, but biomedical scientists around the world don’t do it or dare to do it because of the uncertainty of off-target, other great risks and more important ethics.

  Question 4: Why choose HIV? Is it to be famous or attract attention? Mother-to-child blocking technology of AIDS is very mature, so why choose gene editing?

  The baby event of gene editing continues to ferment, but He Jiankui himself has not responded to it. He is currently attending the second international summit of human genome editing in Hong Kong.

  He Jiankui once wrote that "gene editing is extremely irresponsible"

  Regarding the experiment of genetically modified babies announced by He Jiankui, the media noticed that in February last year, He Jiankui also published an article entitled "The Safety of Gene Editing of Human Embryos remains to be solved" on the blog of Science Network, in which he said: No matter from the perspective of science or social ethics, it is extremely irresponsible for any human to perform germ cell line editing or make gene editing until these important safety issues are solved.

  However, according to the time, just one year after he published this article, the human embryo of this genetically edited baby has been implanted into the human mother.

  In addition, on November 25, an Associated Press report on He Jiankui’s experiment also described this: An American scientist said that he participated in this work in China, and this kind of gene editing is prohibited in the United States, because changes in DNA will be passed on to future generations, which may harm other genes.

△ "News 1+1" video: Gene editing baby has become a fact?

  The reputation of China scientists in the field of gene editing may be affected.

  This incident is not the first time that China’s gene editing research has been questioned because of ethical issues. In April 2015, Huang Jun, a professor at Sun Yat-sen University, reported in a study published online in the biological magazine protein and Cell that his team had completed the world’s first gene modification experiment in human embryos. Huang Jun originally hoped to publish this research in the journal Nature or Science, but was rejected successively. The two magazines refused to disclose the details of the review, but admitted that they were concerned about the complex ethical issues behind human gene editing.

  At that time, just before the first international summit on human genome editing, the summit finally issued a statement, which gave a green light for studying the modification of early human embryos or germ cells by gene editing technology, but at the same time pointed out that the modified germ cells should not be used for pregnancy purposes. Since then, China’s ethical principles of genetic science have been strictly examined by international academic circles.

  Three years ago, many China scientists stood on the side of Huang Jun. Zhai Xiaomei, executive director of Bioethics Research Center of China Academy of Medical Sciences and professor of Peking Union Medical College, was one of them. She said that Huang Jun’s experiment belongs to pre-research, and "no clinical trial at all" is to deepen the understanding of technical knowledge. The team used the three embryonic nuclei abandoned by the hospital and could only survive for dozens of hours. National legal norms allow it, which is also in line with international bioethics norms. She has visited several countries to introduce the current situation of gene editing in China to international academic circles, and to eliminate "misunderstanding about Huang Jun’s experiment".

  At the 2nd International Summit of Human Genome Editors held on 27th, Zhai Xiaomei originally planned to introduce the development of bioethics in China, in response to the international community’s doubts about China. But the news of the birth of a genetically edited baby the day before the meeting made her feel a blow.

  In Zhai Xiaomei’s view, the nature of He Jiankui’s experiment is completely different from that of Huang Jun. "It is academic anomie and there is a big problem." She said, "it’s too much to report to the academic community after the children are born!" Moreover, the existing laws and regulations in our country prohibit this. "

  In 2003, the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Health jointly issued 12 "Ethical Guiding Principles for Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research", among which Article 6 stipulates that "human blastocysts that have been used for research shall not be implanted into the reproductive system of human beings or other animals." In He’s experiment, genetically modified embryos were put into the uterus and gave birth to twins.

  Netizen: Pandora’s Box has been opened.

  This matter has also caused a large-scale discussion among netizens on the Internet. The following is a message from CCTV news users ↓ ↓

  @ Let it be: Support the Ministry of Science and Technology to respond! Resolutely oppose the clinical application of human embryo gene editing, which is prohibited by ethical laws and regulations!

  @ lobangwangmu: Scientific research really needs to be based on ethics and law. Science and technology without moral and legal foundation may bring not happiness but disaster to mankind! Support the response of the Ministry of Science and Technology!

  @ 京京京京: The super human predicted by Hawking, Pandora’s box has been opened.

  @ 京京京京京: Don’t do research that violates ethics! That is worthless and a waste of manpower and capital.

  @ 京京京京京 Joanna: If human beings start the gene editing mode, there will be more genetic changes in the future, which will violate the principle of nature’s survival of the fittest and natural selection.

  @ Daying: This is a simple and rude experiment. A single gene can immunize against many diseases, even single-celled organisms do not, and gene knockout will have unpredictable chain reactions in vitro. This congratulation not only challenges ethics, but also is unscientific, and the experiment is not innovative. It just treats people as guinea pigs, which makes the international community distrust the scientific community in China and has a serious negative impact.

  @YUE: The progress of science and technology is supposed to be a good thing, and it is beneficial to mankind. Gene editing can solve some problems that cannot be solved by current medicine from the source, but once it is out of the bondage of law and driven by interests, the achievements of science and technology will easily be used by bad people and bring disaster to mankind. Therefore, at the same time of scientific and technological progress, we should constantly standardize the relevant legal system and strictly enforce it so that the achievements of scientific and technological progress can contribute to human progress.

  @ mr.yao: Support not to edit genes casually. If this can be edited casually, it is a potential threat to the natural development of mankind.

The legendary life of "Iron Man in Silicon Valley" Musk: From being bullied to being a big tech coffee

  As the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, the founder of The Boring Company, a space exploration technology company, and the co-founder of OpenAI, a non-profit organization of artificial intelligence, Musk seems to have the skill of being two places at once, and at the same time, he is pushing forward various new technologies. He said that he would not be happy if he did not send mankind away from the earth and set up a colony on Mars.

  Musk has made great achievements in the research of space rockets, electric cars, solar cells and killing robots, and has also earned billions of dollars by the way. He is the "Iron Man" Tony Stark in real life.

  However, Musk’s life is not always smooth sailing. Let’s see how he changed from a student who was often bullied at school to a legendary tech geek.

  1. Musk was born in Pretoria, Africa on June 28th, 1971.

  His father said that he "has always been an introverted thinker".

  "When many children go to big parties, drink and talk about various sports events, he hides in the library and leafs through various books." Musk’s father and electrical engineer Errol Musk said.

  3. Musk’s mother is a professional nutritionist and model.

  His mother Maye Musk, a Canadian, has appeared on the cover of Time magazine and the Special K cereal box.

  4. After their parents divorced in 1979, 9-year-old Musk and his younger brother Kimbarl decided to live with their father.

  In 1983, 12-year-old Musk sold a simple game called Blastar to a computer magazine and earned 500 dollars.

  Musk called the game "a very simple little game, but it is more exciting than the recently popular Flappy Bird game."

  6. However, Musk’s school life is not easy. He was beaten by bullies and hospitalized.

  According to Ashlee Vance in his book Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and The Quest for a Fantastic Future, some bullies threw Musk down the stairs and knocked him into shock.

  7. After graduating from high school, Musk moved to Canada and studied at Queen’s University of Ontario for two years.

  He lives in Canada with his mother May, his sister Tosca and his brother Kimbarl.

  8. However, he finished his studies at the University of Pennsylvania and got a degree in physics and economics.

  9. While studying at the University of Pennsylvania, Musk rented a 10-room house with a classmate in his class and turned it into a place where the Brotherhood met at night. This is also the first time he has gained similar experience as an entrepreneur.

  10. After graduating from college, Musk is going to Stanford University to study for a doctorate. However, only two days after he arrived in California, he decided to postpone his admission and prepare to try his luck in the burgeoning Internet craze. He never returned to Stanford University to complete his studies.

  11. Musk and his younger brother Kimbarl founded the Zip2 website.

  The brothers’ father gave them $28,000 to start the Zip2 website. This website provides city travel guides for newspapers such as The New York Times and Chicago Tribune.

  12. Although the Zip2 website is operating very well, Musk basically lives in the office and takes a bath in the bathhouse of a local YMCA.

  Hard work has paid off. Compaq Computer Company spent $341 million to acquire Zip2 website, and paid in cash and stock. This made Musk earn $22 million at once.

  13. Musk then founded X.com, an online banking company.

  In 1999, he took out $10 million from the money he earned from selling Zip2 website and founded X.com Company. A year later, X.com merged with Confinity, a financial startup founded by Peter Thiel, and established PayPal, a payment service company.

  14. Musk was appointed as CEO of PayPal. However, he didn’t sit in this seat for long.

  In October 2000, he had a serious disagreement with the co-founder of PayPal, because he advocated transferring his server from the free Unix operating system to Microsoft Windows. Max Levchin, co-founder and then chief technology officer of PayPal, fought back fiercely.

  15. During Musk’s vacation in Australia, PayPal’s board of directors fired him and appointed Thiel as the new CEO.

  "This is the fault of the holiday." Musk said when he talked about this experience many years later.

  16. However, things took a turn for the better. At the end of 2002, eBay, an auction and shopping website, bought PayPal for $1.5 billion. As the largest individual shareholder of PayPal, Musk made a net profit of $165 million.

  17. Even before PayPal was sold, Musk began to plan his next step, including a crazy plan to transport rats or plants to Mars.

  As a lifelong sci-fi fan, Musk tried to buy rockets retired from the former Soviet Union to realize the dream of Mars. However, Russian sellers charge up to $8 million or more for each rocket. Musk then planned to design the rocket himself at a lower cost.

  18. In early 2002, Musk founded SpaceX, a space exploration technology company. His goal is to build a rocket at a very low cost.

  19. SpaceX’s first rockets were named after the Millennium Falcon spacecraft in the movie Star Wars. These rockets are named Falcon 1 and Falcon 9.

  20. Another early rocket was named after the song Puff the Magic Dragon.

  The name of this rocket is Dragon, which is Musk’s response to the skeptics. Because many skeptics say that SpaceX will never be able to send rockets into space.

  21. SpaceX’s long-term goal is to make the colonization of Mars more cost-effective.

  He said that SpaceX would not apply for an IPO if the "Mars colonial transporter" he mentioned did not achieve routine flight.

  22. Musk has also been very busy on earth, especially his Tesla electric car.

  In 2004, Musk first invested in Tesla, an electric car company co-founded by Martin Eberhard. Later, Musk invested a total of 70 million US dollars in the company.

  23. Musk played an active role in the development of Tesla electric vehicles. He helped develop the company’s first car, Roadster.

  This pure electric vehicle was launched in 2006, when Musk was the chairman of Tesla. He is now the CEO of Tesla.

  24. All this seems to be not enough. Musk also proposed to establish the solar energy company SolarCity.

  Musk gave his cousins Peter Rive and Lyndon Rive the start-up capital to start SolarCity in 2006.

  25. However, Tesla’s operation has not been smooth sailing.

  When Eberhard was CEO, Tesla burned money faster than it made money. In 2007, Musk launched a coup on the board of directors, first removing Eberhard’s CEO position, and then expelling him from the board of directors and the company’s top management.

  26. In 2008, as the financial crisis severely limited his options, Musk personally invested to save Tesla.

  Musk invested $40 million in Tesla and lent it another $40 million. In the same year, he was appointed as CEO of the company.

  27. Operating SpaceX, Tesla and SolarCity at the same time, Musk almost went bankrupt.

  He described 2008 as "the worst year of my life". In this year, Tesla kept losing money, and SpaceX’s launch of Falcon 1 rocket was not smooth. By 2009, Musk had to borrow money to live.

  28. In the same year, Musk divorced his wife Justine Musk. Justin is a Canadian writer who has six sons with Musk.

  However, around Christmas 2008, things seemed to take a turn for the better.

  Musk has two pieces of good news: SpaceX has signed a contract of up to $1.5 billion with NASA to help the latter transport supplies into space. Tesla finally found more external investors.

  30. By 2010, things had greatly improved. Tesla successfully went public.

  In June of that year, Tesla went public and raised $226 million, becoming the first listed automobile company since the listing of Ford Motor Company in 1956. In order to solve the personal financial crisis, Musk sold shares worth about $15 million.

  31. Musk’s magical experience even attracted the attention of outsiders, especially Hollywood.

  Tony Stark played by Robert Downey Jr in Iron Man is based on Musk. Musk even made a guest appearance in iron man 2.

  32. At the same time, Musk’s personal life changed dramatically.

  In 2008, Musk started dating actress Talulah Riley. In 2010, they got married. In 2012, they divorced. In July 2013, they returned to second time around. In December 2014, Musk filed for divorce, but eventually withdrew his application. In March 2016, Riley filed for divorce and was approved in October of that year.

  33. At work, Musk can now be described as smooth sailing, especially at SpaceX.

  By the end of 2015, SpaceX had completed 24 launch missions, including supplying the International Space Station. In 2016, SpaceX Falcon 9 successfully landed a recyclable orbital rocket for the first time.

  34. Musk is still constantly putting forward new ideas. His latest idea is Hyperloop, a super high-speed rail.

  Hyperloop is a super-high-speed train running in a vacuum pipeline. Theoretically, it takes only 30 minutes to get from Los Angeles to San Francisco.

  35. Musk recently founded another company — — The Boring Company tunnel excavation company.

  The Boring Company was established last year, and its mission is to excavate the tunnel network under the urban ground and realize high-speed and congestion-free traffic. Musk said that he had discussed with the White House to dig a tunnel between new york and Washington, D.C. for Hyperloop.

  36. At the end of 2015, Musk co-founded the non-profit organization OpenAI. The organization is committed to studying artificial intelligence and ensuring that it will not harm the interests of human beings.

  Musk is worried that the development of artificial intelligence may eventually set off the Third World War.

  37. While worrying about artificial intelligence, Musk is still vigorously promoting Tesla’s driverless function.

  Tesla’s autopilot system has been launched in its three models, including the Volkswagen Model 3, which was launched earlier this year.

  Last year, Tesla spent $2.6 billion to acquire SolarCity. This acquisition brings together Musk’s two green technology companies.

  39. For Musk, 2017 was an eventful year, at least politically.

  Musk joined President Trump’s Business Advisory Council, which met with strong opposition. At first, he also defended his behavior, saying that being close to the White House could promote new changes. However, after President Trump decided to let the United States withdraw from the Paris climate agreement, Musk finally withdrew from the advisory committee.

The important facts that Beijing did in 1996 directly related to people’s lives.

  1996 was the first year of implementing the Ninth Five-Year Plan. Under the leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Jiang Zemin at the core, the municipal party committee and municipal government adhered to the guidance of Comrade Deng Xiaoping’s theory of building Socialism with Chinese characteristics and the party’s basic line, conscientiously implemented the spirit of the Sixth Plenary Session of the 14th CPC Central Committee, summed up experience, overcame difficulties, and continued to do a number of practical things for the masses.

  The important facts closely related to people’s lives are summarized into 10 aspects, which are described as follows:

  First, the number of state-owned designated vegetable shops has reached 285, with 1,300 chain stores for the convenience and benefit of the people.

  More than 300 convenience chain stores and supermarkets have been newly developed, and the total number of chain stores with supermarkets and people’s chain stores as the main body has reached 1300, further improving the supply guarantee system for residents’ daily life.

  Gradually established and improved the state-owned vegetable supply network with state-owned designated vegetable shops as the main body and distribution centers as the leader. There are 285 state-owned designated vegetable shops with 20-30 varieties, which have played a leading role in ensuring vegetable supply and stabilizing vegetable prices.

  To speed up the construction of staple food kitchens, 18 industrialized staple food kitchens have been completed and put into operation, and the grain system has formed the processing and production capacity of various staple foods with a daily output of 200,000 kilograms and more than 20 varieties, which basically meets the needs of residents’ staple food consumption.

  In order to ensure that citizens can eat "reassuring meat", the existing slaughtering enterprises have been re-examined for registration and acceptance, and 20 municipal-level designated slaughtering enterprises have been formally established, and more than 200 municipal-level designated slaughtering plants have been established in Chengba District.

  Two, completed 8.12 million square meters of housing, investment of 500 million yuan to complete more than 400 projects to eliminate hidden dangers.

  The completed residential area in the whole year was 8.12 million square meters, of which the completed residential area of real estate development was 4.42 million square meters. Ten new residential quarters were opened, and the cumulative number of residential buildings under construction reached 263. The renovation of dilapidated houses started and resumed with an area of 4.53 million square meters, and the completion was 10,000 square meters. Newly opened Debao Phase II, Dongguanying and other 10 rebuild communities, 2 of which were completed. There were 13,600 relocated residents throughout the year. The implementation of 600,000 square meters of housing projects can solve 11,000 households with housing difficulties below 4 square meters per capita.

  The medium-pressure gas pipeline in Chang ‘an Street has been rebuilt for 6 kilometers, and 25,300 indoor gas pipelines that have been used for more than 15 years and have been seriously corroded have been replaced, and 3,500 gas inlets have been rebuilt. Built a 26-kilometer liquefied gas northern suburb double track. The reconstruction project of thermal agricultural exhibition line and hongxia extension line was completed and put into operation, and the central heating situation in the eastern part of the city and Wangfujing area was improved. Overhaul 80,000 liquefied gas cylinders, purchase 80,000 new cylinders and scrap 100,000 cylinders.

  33 tap water pressure regulating projects were completed and 8853 meters of pipelines were laid, which solved the draught problem of more than 10,000 residents in Xizhimen and other areas. The water quality of the seventh water plant has been improved, and the drinking water quality of residents in the southwest of the city has been further improved. Invest 65 million yuan to bring Miyun Reservoir water to Mentougou Chengzi Waterworks, so that 200,000 local residents can eat clean water.
