Are the small shops in each area prosperous, and are the fireworks strong? In the past, city managers could only understand through coarse-grained statistics or organizing on-site visits. Now, through the “Small Store Index” module of the “Meituan City Digital Signs System”, city managers can clearly perceive At present-in Huangpu, Putuo and other areas, the index of small shops in supermarket convenience, fresh fruit, snacks and catering is more than 60% higher than other districts; while small shops in the leisure and entertainment field are the top three fastest-growing districts They are Chongming, Qingpu and Baoshan, which demonstrate the huge growth potential of urban economic development.

A good life in the city is a huge proposition. It is closely related to everyone living in the city. It is more than a small shop, a breakfast full of vitality and within reach, a shared bicycle that is convenient for green travel, and even home. The parks at the gates and the activities held by urban commercial bodies are all microscopic components of the nerve endings of a good life. If the fresh social data can feed back to the government, it will become a new supplement to the digital governance of the market.

On June 10, Shanghai City Operation Digital Sign 1.0 was officially launched. Just today, Meituan and the Shanghai Institute of Digital Governance released in Shanghai the country’s first digital platform for life services in the field of government affairs-“Meituan City Digital Sign System”, which will be connected to the “Shanghai City Operation Digital Sign System” “Based on Meituan’s consumption, evaluation data and practice accumulation in the field of life services, through observation of urban consumption such as catering and entertainment, as well as life service modules such as the operation of small stores, it empowers city operation and management and helps create a quality life.

The fastest data update can be synchronized with the real scene in real time

The “Meituan City Better Life Digital Sign System” released this time is based on Meituan’s practice in the field of life services under the guidance and help of the Shanghai Urban Transport Center, and draws on the experience of the Urban Transport Center in the field of digital governance of super large cities. , Which took more than a year to explore together.

In terms of coverage, the digital signs of a good life in the city cover more than 200 sub-categories in 6 categories, including food, lodging, travel, shopping, and entertainment; at the level of consumption scenarios, search, browse, order, and evaluation form complete consumption. Closed-loop windows, through the supply-demand relationship model, build a healthy supply-demand ecology; at the geographic level, it can be refined to streets and business circles, and run through the various units of urban management vertically, achieving macroscopic view, manageable at the end, and breaking barriers horizontally through inter-regional comparison And mobile insights to help fine-tune urban governance. At present, the data update on the system can be synchronized with the real scene in real time at the fastest.

Meituan Bicycle, the most familiar to Shanghai citizens, converts the number of kilometers that citizens ride on shared bicycles daily into actual figures for reducing carbon emissions in the “Bicycle Riding Heat Map” module. The reporter saw that in the data released on the day of release, the number of kilometers that Shanghai citizens rode on a bicycle that day, if converted into a private car trip, is equivalent to replacing about 160,000 trips with a private car, and the calories consumed by cycling is equal to about 240,000. The calories of a burger or 1.46 million xiaolongbao.

Not only that, the data in the field of transportation capacity distribution provides an effective reference for city managers to solve the “last mile” of citizens’ travel. Li Jiao, head of big data products at Meituan City, gave an example. When a company launches shared bicycles, it may place 8 cars at exit 1 of a certain subway station and 2 cars at exit 2 according to the traffic volume. Changes in the weather and an important meeting may change the use of shared bicycles. With the help of government public data and open resources, shared bicycles will become more “smart”, which will be based on passenger flow at rail stations, weather changes, etc. The data adjusts the number of vehicles delivered. Citizens’ evaluation of public service places can also become an important reference for city managers to improve their management level. The reporter saw that the “Resident Evaluation” module in the “Meituan Digital Signs System for a Better Life in Cities” is to analyze the natural evaluations of users on the POI pages of urban public services such as parks and stadiums collected by Meituan to encourage citizens to actively participate. Urban governance practices the concept of “People’s Cities and People’s Construction” to highlight the temperature of the city. Taking the park as an example, the evaluation can help the park learn about the inadequacies in fee admission, service management level, park facilities richness, environmental beauty, convenience facilities perfection, transportation convenience, etc., and provide reference for its refined construction and operation . In addition, Meituan takes advantage of the full business chain coverage of the life service industry of “food, lodging, travel, shopping and entertainment”. Through comprehensive and detailed data, it can not only fully present the development of the regional life service industry, but also provide a window for research in sub-fields. Taking catering as an example, in addition to understanding the overall consumption situation of the catering industry, research can also be carried out by subdividing catering categories such as hot pot, coffee, and milk tea. The “Meituan City Better Life Digital Sign System” also refers to the “Excavator Index” in the industrial field, and uses the Milk Tea Index, Coffee Index and other popular specialties in cities. The data shows that Shanghai’s coffee consumption index is 2.4 times that of 35 cities (30 provincial capitals/municipalities + 5 cities specifically designated in the national plan). Empowering city operation and management with fresh enterprise data This year, Shanghai issued opinions on comprehensively advancing the digital transformation of Shanghai’s city, and proposed strengthening system integration and overall improvement. According to Xu Huili, deputy director of the General Office of the Municipal Government and director of the Municipal Urban Transport Center, the digitalization of life and the digitalization of governance are both important parts of the digital transformation of cities, and through the exploration of professional fields, fresh enterprise data can empower city operation and management , Repeating the needs of urban citizens in daily life, has become a new force in the operation of the “one network unified management” of cities. Today, Meituan also demonstrated other explorations in the field of life services. For example, based on Meituan’s consumer review data, we will promote social co-governance of food safety. Meituan has more than 1,000 engineers working on AI, and has applied technological innovations to back kitchen monitoring, warehouse temperature control, food seal recognition, intelligent meal cabinets, unmanned delivery vehicles, and other scenarios. Support the upgrading of products and services in the field of life services through the digitalization of the offline economy. Through industrial cooperation, the further exploration of innovative solutions for food safety technology is also what Meituan has been exploring in recent years. Last year, Meituan launched the first food safety technology innovation platform activity, soliciting food safety technology innovation solutions for the whole society in warehousing, cooking and processing, takeaway delivery, dine-in dining, etc., and mobilizing more people to care about and participate in food safety governance and Industry sustainability work. “Food safety work is not just a business for an enterprise, but also requires the extensive participation of all sectors of society and all stakeholders, co-governance and sharing. Food safety work is not something that can be accomplished overnight. It is more reflected in daily food safety risk monitoring, In terms of evaluation and management,” the relevant person in charge of Meituan introduced, “Meituan has also been exploring to link industry partners to jointly sum up and precipitate good food safety management experience, and form standards and norms that the industry abides by.” “One of the basic elements of Shanghai’s urban operation’One Network Management’ is to use real-time online data to help city managers observe the society, perceive needs, and cognitive laws, so as to better meet the needs of the masses and solve problems efficiently.” Xu Huili said, After Meituan’s exploration in the life service industry is empowered by the urban transportation system, it will effectively help city managers find problems in a more timely and accurate manner, connect needs, study the situation, prevent risks, and accumulate more energy for good governance in big cities.

The spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Zhao Lijian.Photo by Xue Wei

A reporter asked questions that day. The NATO summit was held in Brussels and issued a communiqué stating that China poses a “systemic challenge” to the international order and NATO security-related areas. What is China’s comment?

Zhao Lijian responded that there is only one system and one order in the world, that is, the international system with the United Nations as the core and the international order based on international law. Engaging in “small circles” and group politics, engaging in ideological sidelines, and forcing other countries to choose sides between camps, goes against the historical trend of peace, development, and cooperation, and is destined to be unpopular and unsuccessful.

“On the one hand, NATO calls on its member states to increase military expenditures, requiring them to reach or exceed 2% of GDP. On the other hand, they make irresponsible remarks about China’s normal national defense and military modernization. This is a typical double standard.” Zhao Lijian pointed out that, in fact, China’s defense GDP accounts for about 1.3%, which is far less than NATO’s own “pass line.” China’s per capita military expenditure is lower than the global average and less than one-fifth of NATO’s.

Zhao Lijian emphasized that NATO’s history is full of misfortunes, and he owes a lot of debts, bringing wars and turbulence to the world many times. The international community will never forget that NATO carried out 78 days of indiscriminate bombing of Yugoslavia without the approval of the United Nations. NATO countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom used only a bag of laundry detergent and posing video as “evidence” to launch wars against sovereign countries such as Iraq and Syria.

“We Chinese will never forget the historical tragedy of the bombing of the Chinese Embassy in Yugoslavia. This is a blood debt owed by NATO to the Chinese people. China will not pose a’systemic challenge’ to anyone. We will firmly defend our sovereignty, security, and development. Interests.” Zhao Lijian said. (Finish)

Doorway Design of British Library

Traveling around the world, if circumstances permit, my favorite places to go are university campuses and libraries. The common feature of these two places is that they are open to the public and are “undefended.” Of course, Chinese university campuses are an exception. The former is to feel its youthful and free culture atmosphere, the latter is to appreciate the civilization of a city and respect and worship knowledge.

British Museum Book Reading Room

The years before retirement were spent in the UK. The British Library in London, Birmingham City Library and Liverpool Central Library have all left a deep and beautiful impression on me.

The British Library

The British Library at 96 Euston Road, London, also known as the National Library of England, was developed from the British Museum Library that was first established in 1753. In July 1973, the National Central Library, the National Science and Invention Reference Library, the National Science and Technology Loan Library and the British National Bibliography Company merged to form the British Library today.

British Library open doors

The new ochre-red British Library building on Euston Road was completed in 1996. On the right side is the famous St. Pancras Hotel and St. Pancras Railway Station, which is the departure station of the “Eurostar” train to the European continent; and from St. Pancras, go forward It is Euston Railway Station, the departure station for England to go north to Scotland and Northern Ireland. The overall appearance of the new building of the British Library matches the colors of the neighboring St. Pancras, and the styles complement each other. One is classic Victorian style, the other is modern minimalist style.

Main entrance of the British Library

The British Library has 150 million collections. Collected every book, every newspaper, periodical and other publications published in the UK. Even music scores, etc. must have copies. There are both traditional paper publications and the most modern electronic publications. There are both the latest published and manuscript ancient books from two thousand years ago.

Panoramic photo of the British Library

Although the history of the British Library is only more than two hundred years, its collection can be traced back more than 3,000 years ago. The brown glass tower in the lobby of the new building was donated by King George IV of his father George III to the British Library in 1823. The glass tower is six stories high, and all the book ridges are facing outwards for viewing. If necessary, staff can access it for readers through internal passages or movable bookshelves.

From where I live, it takes about forty minutes to walk to the British Library. Try to apply for its library card online, it needs to fill in too much personal information, give up. But this does not prevent me from entering the library without a certificate. One of the reasons I like patronizing this library is that it often holds exhibitions of various collections in the lobby or side compartment on the first floor. The few exhibitions that impressed me were the “Quran Rare Book Exhibition”, the “Georgian Age Architecture Exhibition”, “The Conquest of the Arctic Photo Exhibition” and so on. These exhibitions with different themes give the public a glimpse of these unparalleled authentic works and treasures, which are really rare.

The spiral staircase in the lobby of the Liverpool Central Library

Going to Liverpool to play, originally went to worship the “Beatles” band. But the Liverpool Central Library in the city centre has become the biggest gain besides the Beatles. It was founded in 1860 and is the largest of the 22 public libraries in Liverpool. Its appearance is as old and mottled as the appearance of the British Museum, with a heavy sense of history. But when I entered the door, I couldn’t help taking a deep breath, deeply impressed by its modernity and artistic sense. The spiral staircase decorated with stained glass is magnificent no matter from which angle it is viewed.

The Birmingham Library fully embodies the characteristics of Birmingham, which was once an important town of the British Industrial Revolution

On two business trips to Birmingham, I couldn’t help but want to go to the Birmingham Library. This new library built in 1974 on the site of the original Birmingham Central Library has been the largest municipal public library in the UK and even in Europe from the date of its completion until 2013.

Birmingham Library Hall

The Birmingham Library is the masterpiece of the famous “Russian” architect John Madin. Although the cost of materials had to be reduced due to tight funding at the time, its majestic arched reading room, desolate concrete exterior wall and distinct geometric design have become a representative work of British architectural brutalism and are highly favored by the architectural circles. This architectural style is also regarded as a symbol of social progress. The number of visitors from 2011 to 2012 was close to 1.2 million, making it the second most visited library in the UK and the pride of Birmingham.

There is an escalator in the atrium of the Birmingham Library Hall, which is a bit like an escalator in a big shopping mall, which is convenient but does not feel like visiting a market. Standing on the escalator slowly rising, what rises in your heart is the worship of knowledge and civilization and nothing else.

During the years of working and living in the UK, although I like to visit large and beautiful libraries, in my daily life, the Marylebone Community Library near my home is the only one I must visit every week, which is simple and convenient like my own living room or study room. I wonder if you feel the same as me?

Nationwide electricity generation Coal is overtaking wind power again

Status: 06/11/2021 1:53 p.m.

A spring without storms has led to a decline in wind energy. Coal grew to become the most important energy source in the country in the first quarter. At the same time, the demand for electricity is increasing, says Minister of Economic Affairs Altmaier. Electricity production using coal in Germany overtook wind power again in the first quarter of 2021. According to the Federal Statistical Office, a “windless spring” resulted in almost a third less electricity from wind power. According to the authorities, the gap has been filled by increasing electricity generation from coal and natural gas power plants. From January to March inclusive, a total of 138.2 billion kilowatt hours of electricity was generated and fed into the grid. According to preliminary results from the Federal Office, that was 2.6 percent less than in the first quarter of 2020.

Coal, gas and nuclear power dominate

While the electricity in the same period last year came mainly from renewable energy sources such as wind power, biogas and sun (51.4 percent), coal, gas and nuclear energy dominated at the beginning of this year (59.3 percent). With a share of 28.9 percent of the total amount of electricity fed into the grid, coal was the most important energy source for electricity generation in Germany in the first quarter of this year. The amount of electricity generated in coal-fired power plants increased by more than a quarter (26.8 percent) to almost 40 billion kilowatt hours compared to the same period in the previous year. The amount of electricity from natural gas increased by 24 percent to 22.5 billion kilowatt hours. In contrast, there was a strong minus of almost a third (32.4 percent) in wind power: The feed-in of 33.5 billion kilowatt hours was the lowest value for this energy source for a first quarter since 2018. In the two previous years, there was wind power significantly higher values ​​achieved due to strong spring storms.

Altmaier sees increased demand for electricity

Meanwhile, Federal Minister of Economics Peter Altmaier admitted that his department had so far underestimated how much the demand for electricity in Germany is likely to increase in the course of the energy transition. “Due to the more stringent climate targets in Germany and the EU, we have to assume a significantly higher electricity demand than was previously assumed,” said the CDU politician to Wirtschaftswoche. “My house will submit new calculations for this.” Altmaier said that more energy must be produced, “from all available renewable sources: wind power and photovoltaics”. Altmaier said that he would present specific proposals on how offshore wind power on the high seas and other renewable energies could be expanded more than previously planned. For “green hydrogen” for use in the steel industry or the expansion of electromobility, many experts believe that significantly more electricity will be required in the coming years, which should come from renewable energies.

SPD puts pressure on

The SPD criticized Altmaier: “For months now, the SPD and the entire German industry and energy sector have been calling on the Federal Minister of Economics in vain to anchor realistic electricity requirements and a correspondingly ambitious expansion of wind power and photovoltaics in the EEG,” said parliamentary group vice-president Matthias Miersch of the dpa news agency. If Altmaier now announces new proposals, which can only then be implemented by the next federal government, it is “poor” and unworthy of a federal minister of economics, according to Miersch. The SPD had already submitted proposals months ago which, based on realistic electricity consumption, determine the associated expansion paths for green electricity up to 2030 and contain funds for acquiring space and accelerating it. “We could implement this next week,” said the politician.

Debate about retirement at 68 Altmaier cashes in on plans from his advisors

As of: June 8th, 2021 3:33 p.m.

Work until 68 – this proposal from the Advisory Board of the Ministry of Economic Affairs creates massive headwinds. After the rejection of the coalition partners CSU and SPD, Altmaier now expressed himself: The retirement age is currently not an issue. Federal Minister of Economics Peter Altmaier has rejected an increase in the retirement age to 68 years, as recommended by an advisory committee of his house. The retirement age was set at 67 in the first grand coalition “at the suggestion of esteemed colleague” Franz Müntefering (SPD). “It should stay that way, that’s been my opinion for years,” wrote Altmaier on Twitter.

“Suddenly increasing financing problems”

The Scientific Advisory Board of the Ministry of Economics is independent, wrote Altmaier. His proposals are not binding on either the ministry or the minister. The Scientific Advisory Board of the Ministry of Economic Affairs – an advisory body – had proposed a reform towards the retirement age at 68. Because there was a threat of “sudden increasing financing problems in the statutory pension insurance from 2025”. The retirement age cannot be decoupled from the development of life expectancy in the long term.

CSU and SPD against raising the retirement age

The CSU also rejected ideas about raising the retirement age to 68 years. “We reject a later retirement age,” said CSU regional group leader Alexander Dobrindt. In order to make pensions more secure, an “effective reform of private provision is required,” he said. This must be “more successful and efficient,” said Dobrindt. The SPD had previously rejected an increase in the retirement age. He thinks this is the wrong way, said the federal labor minister responsible for pensions, Hubertus Heil, according to a statement from his ministry. The statutory pension is a central promise of the welfare state. It is about recognition of lifetime achievement and security in old age. “Everyone must be able to rely on that.”

“Unsocial, what is proposed there”

SPD parliamentary group leader Rolf Mützenich said that a new regulation for a possible entry age of 68 does not go with the SPD. “Pensioners and the generation that will retire in the next few years must not be further unsettled.” That will also play a role in the federal election campaign. SPD Chancellor candidate Olaf Scholz said: “I stand for the fact that we are not discussing any further increase in the statutory retirement age.” Scholz spoke of a “horror scenario” which should serve to “implement pension cuts for which there is no reason at this time”. According to Scholz, not only are the calculations wrong in the report. “What is being proposed there is also anti-social,” said the minister.

Advisory board proposes retirement at 68

The representatives of the Union and the SPD reacted to an opinion from the Scientific Advisory Board at the CDU-led Federal Ministry of Economics. The Scientific Advisory Board of the Ministry of Economic Affairs – an advisory body – had presented a concept that provides for longer work in old age and a limitation on future pension increases. The proposal mentioned a retirement age of 68 years in 2042. Currently, the rule applies that the age for entry into retirement without deductions should increase to 67 years by 2030. The advisory board warned that the pension system would head for a “financing shock” without further increases.

Employer President: “Lead honestly” pension discussion

Employer representatives were open to the experts’ suggestion. Employer President Rainer Dulger said with a view to demographic development that one should not get into a situation in which there are more service recipients than service providers. “The discussion must be conducted and it must be conducted honestly,” said Dulger. The topic cannot be concluded with stubborn rejection. People who would like to work longer should also be included in the discussion.

DGB and left indignant

The SPD gets a tailwind from its criticism from the German Trade Union Confederation (DGB) and the Left Party. The advisory body wants to “drastically cut pensions, dismantle the welfare state and privatize old-age pensions – all of this to massively relieve employers,” said DGB board member Anja Piel of the “Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung”. She accused the body of announcing the imminent ruin of the state on the basis of a fictitious legal status in order to then justify radical reforms. This is not scientifically based advice, but political propaganda. “From this oblique perspective, those affected are to blame if the pension is not enough: they could have made more private provisions,” said Piel. Left party leader Susanne Hennig-Wellsow spoke of an “asocial Oberhammer.” The left will “defend the rights of pensioners with tooth and nail”. What would be necessary would be a clear pension guarantee that bindingly excludes pension cuts as a result of the corona pandemic, said Hennig-Wellsow.

A table chart where domestic and foreign guests are seated alternately is necessary to avoid acquaintances sitting together in separate groups, limiting communication. Pictured is the Consulate General of Vietnam in Kunming, China holding the Celebration and Reception on the occasion of the 75th National Day of Vietnam (September 2, 1945-2 / 9/2020).

The combination of the principles of the hierarchy and the specific conditions of the placement helps determine the position of each person at a ceremony, party or external event in general.

Right before left

As usual, the most important person is placed on the right side of the landlord, then the next person on the left and so on alternating next. In some cases, if the host and the attendee for any physical reason want reverse priority, the placement will be made according to the request, while discreetly informing other guests.

Alternating domestic and foreign guests

A table chart where domestic and foreign guests are seated alternately is necessary to avoid acquaintances sitting together in separate groups, limiting communication.

On the other hand, more attention is paid to inviting domestic guests than foreign ones. This difference avoids placing foreign guests at the top of the table.

Alternating between men and women

Men and women should be arranged alternately, and at the same time, pay attention to avoid placing women at the top of the table.

Separation of couples

The rules of alternating between men and women go with the rule of separating couples at the table to avoid the couple talking to each other during the meal, but forgetting about other people or they are taking each other lightly.

According to the custom, if the dining table conditions permit, do not arrange couples to face each other, but to sit on one side.

Pay attention to the similarities

People with common interests or domestic guests undertaking a task similar to that of a foreign visitor are usually assigned to sit at the table.

From nearly 400 registration documents, through 2 rounds of competition, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Recruitment Council selected 81 best individuals and on April 14, the Ministry happily opened the door, welcoming you to become member under the common roof named Diplomacy. On the afternoon of April 14, at the Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Department of Organization and Personnel in coordination with the Diplomatic Academy held a ceremony to award the decision to recruit and open a pre-civil service class for 2021 new civil servants. Attending the ceremony were Deputy Foreign Minister Dang Minh Khoi, Assistant Minister, Director of Personnel and Organization Department Pham Quang Hieu, Acting Director of Diplomatic Academy Pham Lan Dung, representatives of related units and 81 employees. has just passed the entrance exam in 2020.

At the decision award ceremony, Deputy Minister Dang Minh Khoi congratulated the young colleagues who passed the tough and challenging exam to attend the Recruitment Decision Ceremony and the Opening of the Pre-Service Class. . Standing in the team of 81 newly recruited civil servants is a very honor and pride for each individual receiving this decision. Deputy Minister said that over the past 75 years, the country is increasingly developing and innovating and achieving great achievements. In the overall success of the country, there is a great contribution from the Foreign Affairs sector. As at the XIII Congress of the Party recently, General Secretary, President Nguyen Phu Trong said, affirming: “Our country has never had the structure, potentiality, position and prestige of the country. Reality like today. ” This is thanks to the non-stop efforts and efforts of generations of Diplomats during the past 75 years.

However, the Deputy Minister said that the world and regional situation continued to evolve quickly, complicatedly and unpredictably. “The important thing is that when you become an officer of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, do you grasp the changes in the world of complex, volatile and unpredictable situations, adapt and overcome those changes? . All are based on the intellectual capacity and bravery of each individual “, said Deputy Minister.

During his life, President Ho Chi Minh always attaches special importance to the work of cadres and always puts the work of cadres at the forefront in building the Party and State administration. The person pointed out: “Officer is the root of all work”; “Every job succeeds or fails, is due to good or poor officials”; “Any work policy, if there is a good staff, will be successful, which is profitable.

Mr. Pham Quang Hieu reminded that, in the face of increasingly unpredictable developments in the context of the world and the region, the rapid changes in the mode of implementation of diplomatic activities due to the impact of the industrial revolution. 4.0, officers working in foreign affairs today must have more and more strong political bravery, always believe in the foreign policy of the Party and State. Not only that, diplomats must have a modern mindset in research, analysis and assessment of the situation to advise, propose policies and strategies; have a comprehensive knowledge base, synthesized in many fields and most importantly, must have pride in the traditional history of the nation, the diplomatic service and have a desire to contribute to a country of Vietnam. increasingly powerful, developing stronger. Therefore, participating in the Pre-Service course is a very good opportunity to hone and practice. The course result will be one of the factors to consider in deciding the assignment of new civil servants to the units as well as the end of your probationary period in the near future.

.

Representatives of the new civil servants who have just received the decision, Ms. Nguyen Phuong Hong Ngoc said: “This is a great day in our life and career, marking the beginning of an important journey ahead. and a memory we will never forget “.
