editor — Sun, 27 Jun 2021 08:35:07 +0000

Although buying a second-hand car is the most affordable option for consumers, it will always make people worry that they will choose problem vehicles such as accident vehicles, water vehicles, and overhaul vehicles. In fact, compared to physical depreciation (tangible loss), the “original car manufacturing quality” factor mentioned in the comprehensive analysis of second-hand cars is often overlooked. In addition, the source of second-hand cars, price trends, and recall are also important factors in judging whether a second-hand car is worth buying. As the leading domestic platform for collecting information on defective automobile products, Car Quality Network will continue to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of second-hand models of various brands based on massive big data analysis, so as to provide direct and effective reference information for everyone. The evaluation objects of this period are some models of GAC Fick Jeep Guide. For detailed analysis, please refer to the following content. 1. Model year analysis: 2017-2020 models are in the optional range As a compact SUV under GAC Fick’s Jeep, the guide can not only travel in the city, but also occasionally take you to the outdoors for light exploration. In short, Jeep Guide is an all-rounder who can “can be literary and martial arts”. The current generation of Jeep guides has just completed the mid-term facelift at the end of last year, and has upgraded the power and interior design. At present, in the used car market, models before the mid-term facelift account for a large proportion. Today, we will conduct an in-depth analysis on the used cars of GAC Fick Jeep Guide. GAC Fick Jeep Guide completed domestic production and went on the market in December 2016. The appearance of the new car is very similar to the Jeep Grand Cherokee, and the vehicle effect is very impressive. Among them, the front face of the car is equipped with a family-style seven-hole grille, which looks extremely recognizable visually. The side and tail design are also extremely tall, with a cross-country temperament. The interior design is also very rough, but the details of the materials used by the guide are very heavy, and the degree of modernization is relatively high. In terms of power, the new car is equipped with a 1.4T and 2.4L engine. The maximum power of the two is 165 horsepower and 175 horsepower, and the peak torque is 250 Nm and 228 Nm. The transmission system is matched with 6-speed manual and 7-speed dry. Type dual-clutch and 9AT automatic transmission. After that, two engines, 1.3T and 2.0L, were added to the 2019 models, with maximum power of 173 horsepower and 148 horsepower, peak torque of 270 Nm and 190 Nm, and the transmission system remained unchanged. After several minor facelifts, GAC Fick launched the mid-term facelifted Jeep Guide in December 2020. The overall appearance of the new car has not changed much, and adjustments have been made mainly to the light set and front bumper design. The most significant change in this new model is the interior. The newly developed interior looks more classy, and the center console has a more distinct styling. At the same time, the new car has also been upgraded to a suspended center control screen with a larger and larger size. Built-in the latest entertainment operating system. In terms of power, the new car is only equipped with a 1.3T four-cylinder turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 173 horsepower and a peak torque of 270 Nm. The transmission system is matched with a 7-speed dry dual-clutch and 9AT automatic transmission. At present, in the domestic second-hand car market, GAC Fick Jeep Guide only has one generation of models. As the mid-term change has just been completed, the market stock of models after the change is not large, and the models are still dominated by the models before the change. In addition, some of the 2017 and 2019 models of GAC Fick’s Jeep Guide comply with the National V emission standards. It is not a problem to get the license in first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. On the whole, the 2017-2020 models are all in the range of options. 2. Market price analysis: 2017 models are relatively more cost-effective Under normal circumstances, when car products are iterative, the sale of old models has a large discount due to inventory clearance, and sometimes even the price of second-hand cars is “upside down”. So, what is the current second-hand car market of GAC Fick Jeep Guide? The car quality network integrated used car home, Guazi second-hand car and other second-hand car platform quotations, and comprehensively derived the market’s selling car source price range for consumers’ reference. Judging from the above-mentioned used car prices, the 2017 model is relatively cost-effective, and the used car price is about 50% of the guide price for the new car that year. The second-hand car prices of models after 2019 (inclusive) are still strong, and the selling price has exceeded 60% of the guide price for new cars that year. Compared with the current new car terminal preferential prices, the advantage is not obvious. Therefore, considering factors such as the appearance differences of iterative products, the price of second-hand cars, and the later use tax of vehicles and ships, the 2017 GAC Fick Jeep Guide second-hand car is more cost-effective. 3. Source analysis of second-hand cars: Most of the car sources in the southern region have the highest proportion of 2017 models When selecting second-hand cars, whether the car supply in the market is sufficient is also one of the key considerations for consumers. If the car supply is sufficient, on the one hand, consumers have more choices, on the other hand, it also increases the opportunities for further bargaining. And if the car source is relatively insufficient or very few, it may have a greater impact on whether consumers continue to buy the car. The car quality network refers to the data from the Guazi Second-hand Car and Second-hand Car Home platform, and the statistics show that the current 2017-2020 GAC Fick Jeep Guide’s national second-hand car source is: Guazi second-hand car release car source 176, one of the second-hand cars The company released 335 cars. From the perspective of the proportion, the 2017 models occupy the absolute main force in the market, the 2019 models also have a certain proportion, and the 2020 models account for a relatively small proportion. From the perspective of the distribution of second-hand car sources, the total amount of second-hand car sources of GAC Fick Jeep Guide in the six provinces of Jiangsu, Guangdong, Hunan, Shandong, Sichuan and Chongqing has reached more than 50% of the national total. Among them, models with a vehicle age of 2-3 years accounted for the highest proportion, and vehicles with a vehicle age of one and four years also accounted for a certain proportion, and models with a vehicle age of less than one year accounted for a small proportion. 4. Quality reputation analysis: Be careful to purchase 2017 dual-clutch gearboxes with relatively more failures Consumers often ignore the “original car manufacturing quality” factor when choosing a used car, but in fact this is a very important indicator when choosing a used car. To this end, the car quality network based on a large number of real car owners complaints, through professional data analysis, to evaluate the quality of GAC Fick Jeep guide products, find possible batch quality defects, and provide consumers with a more direct and effective reference. information. According to the statistics of the car quality network, from January to May 2021, the car quality network accepted a total of 47 complaints from GAC Fick’s Jeep Guide models, and the complaints mainly came from 2017 models. From the perspective of typical complaints, there are many gearbox-related problems, such as “gearbox abnormal noise” and so on. Through further analysis, it is known that most of the above-mentioned faults come from the 2017 dual-clutch models. Therefore, it is recommended that consumers pay attention to these issues when purchasing the above-mentioned models. On the whole, GAC Fick’s Jeep Guide has a relatively high complaint volume for the 2017 dual-clutch model, and the complaints for the other models of the year are kept at a low level, and there are no common defects, and the quality of reputation is relatively stable. 5. Analysis of the recall: A total of 4 recall records in China Judging from the data currently available, GAC Fick Jeep Guide issued a total of 4 recall announcements in China. Among them, the internal water resistance of the starter of the model produced from February 28, 2019 to December 23, 2019 is poor, which will cause the starter to fail to start or even short-circuit and catch fire. In addition, there is a problem with the power system control module software of the models produced from February 28, 2019 to July 25, 2019, which will cause the engine’s torque to decrease under certain conditions. In addition, there are two failures that have been recalled to varying degrees. Here, the car quality network should remind consumers that when buying a second-hand car, you need to call the manufacturer’s customer service or go to the 4S store to check whether the vehicle has been processed according to the recall plan before, so as to prevent the vehicle from still being “ill” on the road. Security risks. to sum up Through the above analysis, it is not difficult to see that when purchasing second-hand models of GAC Fick’s Jeep Guide, except for the 2017 dual-clutch model, which has relatively more complaints, you need to be cautious when purchasing, and all other models of the year are within the range of options. Based on various factors, the 2017 1.4T and 2.4L models with 9AT automatic transmissions have outstanding performance in terms of cost-effectiveness, market retention and quality reputation. It is recommended that they should be given priority when purchasing

Please keep this play guide of Fuxi Mountain Yunshang Ranch, now it is a new online celebrity check-in place

editor — Thu, 24 Jun 2021 00:25:06 +0000

Recently, when I was traveling in Henan, a mother of my treasure asked me if I wanted to go to a place called “Yunshang Ranch”. She said that it was fun to watch children online. The mother of 2 children asked this question. I have been to Fuxi Mountain before, but I have never seen the pasture she said, nor did I hear of this place at the time. However, in this itinerary, it was found that this scenic spot really exists, and Wei Xing already had a little expectation in his heart. For this reason, I searched the Internet. Why didn’t I see Yunshang Ranch the last time I visited? It turned out that the ranch opened in April 2021, that is, this year, and I visited Fuxi Mountain last time. , Is July 2018. At that time, at the location of the Yunshang Ranch on Fuxi Mountain, what I saw was still a mountain forest. Unexpectedly, more than two years later, earth-shaking changes have taken place. Feeling that the years go by, everything has changed too fast. When it comes to pastures, what do you think of in your mind? Generally, there is an expanse of green grass on the vast grassland. Horses and cows are grazing. This is a scene that can only be seen in grassland plateaus such as Inner Mongolia. And the deep mountains in Henan, which are famous for their steepness, seem to be indistinguishable from the vastness of the grasslands of Inner Mongolia. The difference between this pasture in Henan is that there are two more words “on the cloud” in front, and the first feeling is “the nearest to the sky” local”. In other words, this place called Yunshang Ranch is on a large mountain. And this mountain is Fuxi Mountain. Fuxi Mountain, located in Xinmi City, Zhengzhou, is known as one of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization. Here, there is a natural beauty red stone forest formed by the unique red Danxia landform. On the top of the red stone forest at an altitude of nearly one thousand meters, the “Yunshang Ranch” is located here. In the Fuxi Mountain in mid-June, the weather will change if it changes. If it rains, it will fall. It is particularly cool when it rains. When the sun is out, it looks a bit tan in the pasture because there are no shelters. Therefore, friends who come to the ranch, it is recommended to do personal sun protection, and it is best to bring an umbrella to block the rain and the sun. Fuxi Mountain Yunshang Ranch is hidden on the top of a mountain with an altitude of nearly 1,000 meters. This is the first ranch on the top of the mountain in the Central Plains, covering an area of more than 500 acres. If you take your children to play, it takes a day to eat and stay on the mountain. The ranch currently has seven themes open to tourists. Because the scenic spot is positioned for family trips, parent-child trips, the content is basically a children’s playground, and there are some experiences for adults and young people. The seven theme parks open inside include Fawn Forest, Candy Alley, Sky Art Museum, Sky Mirror, Simulation Big Dinosaur, Hobbit Hut, Sky Ladder, Flower Sea and other amusement facilities. There are also many small amusement projects, moms and dads. Bring the baby for a stroll, and it’s just a matter of watching the flowers for a day. Time is in a hurry. We didn’t go through all the scenic spots too carefully, but experienced a few. I felt that most of the experience items were not seen when I traveled all over the country. Someone said that these are the original works of Yunshang Ranch. What is remarkable is that these entertainment projects are more meticulous in details, and they also highlight novelty and interaction. Tickets for Yunshang Ranch are 88 yuan per person. See what you can play in it for 88 yuan and see if it’s worth it. 1. Candy Lane This is the first attraction I saw after entering the scenic spot. What is the children’s favorite candy? For many children, it is a lollipop. And Candy Lane is a lollipop street. The roadside is full of colorful lollipop cartoon statues. It looks pink and dreamy, like walking into a colorful fairy tale world. As soon as I walked in, I found that some children didn’t want to leave. I loved everything. The older children couldn’t help but take a photo with these big candies. 2. Fawn Forest We generally see sika deer in zoos, some are tall and tall, but in this fawn forest on Yunshang Ranch, the sika deer come to you in groups, not the tall and mighty big deer, but also the little fawn. , And they look like sika deer in Nara, Japan, and they are docile and cute. In this small deer forest in Yunshang Ranch, there are more than 200 sika deer. Here, we can touch them with our own hands. Well-deserved, these guys are as cute as little babies. Seeing tourists coming from a distance, some young deer rushed over from the grass to greet the guests, to see if they brought them any food. There is a grass cake on one side. 6 small cakes are bundled into a bundle. This is the fawn’s favorite. If the fawn walks into you, you can buy a pack of them for 10 yuan. Under the temptation of food, these guys can smell the delicious food you brought them from a distance, and will immediately walk to the year before you, letting you touch them. These fawns are small and look very clean. The straw cake can be broken apart and fed, or you can take a whole piece and deliver it to its mouth. There is a yellow stud earring on the deer’s ears. This is the number of each deer. I found that these fawns are not only well-behaved but also very smart. Some fawns can understand people’s commands. In front of the food, let them nod and thank you. The fawns will cooperate with you to do these actions. In addition to the cute Nara deer, we went forward and found that there were dozens of cute animals such as Angora rabbits, Boer goats, marmots, and Dutch fragrant pigs. 3. Tutu Paradise In Yunshang Ranch, there is also a little rabbit paradise. In the words of tourists, these rabbits have lawns, nests, and special caretakers. Tourists keep coming to feed them. They are really happy rabbits. There are rabbits of various colors, big and small, in the enclosed lawn. Tourists can buy Chinese cabbage carrots and other delicacies that the rabbits love to feed them, and touch these guys with their own hands. The bunny rabbits are also familiar with the tourists. When they see someone coming in, they crane their necks behind their feet to ask for vegetables to eat. They look very cute. Next to the little rabbit, there is a performance of Peppa Pig Race every day, which is also quite interesting. 4. Swan Lake The Swan Lake in Yunshang Ranch is also a paradise for people and animals. On the side of the art museum is a lake with a few black guys swimming in the water. When I saw Swan Lake, I thought it was a white swan. When I walked in, I saw a few black swans. Similarly, there is a shop selling swans for food, buy some and you can play with the guys swimming here for a long time. 5. Sky Art Museum Next to Swan Lake is the Sky Art Museum. Walk into the second floor and open the door, as if you have walked into a magical world. The art museum is built with confusing lighting, and visitors can take a beautiful photo or video with the flashing of the lights. 6. Huahai Garden All kinds of colorful flowers make up a painting, wandering around the sea of flowers, it makes people feel like they are in a fairyland. There is a white piano in the sea of flowers, of course it is a prop, it will not make a sound, but sitting in front of the piano to simulate playing and taking a photo, I instantly feel that I have become a dazzling star. Wouldn’t it be more artistic if you change into an artistic costume to take pictures? 7, the realm of the sky This is a must-check-in place for every visitor to Yunshang Ranch. This is actually a huge mirror. When the weather is good, people stand on it, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds. Any photo with a mobile phone can present a dreamy style. It is hot in summer and the mirror is hot for a long time. Before taking off your shoes, remind everyone to touch the temperature before standing up to prevent burns. No matter how you shoot here, it looks good. After special permission, we took a photo of our companion jumping up. Does it feel like a fairy descended to the earth? 8. The ladder to the clouds Looking at the name, I really can’t imagine how the designer designed this ladder. When I walked to the ladder, I found that the ladder was all white, with a 60° slope extending to the sky visually. As the height of the steps narrowed, it seemed very thrilling. The experiencer needs courage. The ladder is a place for young people to take beautiful photos. Many girls in Hanfu or other flowing skirts are seen walking up the ladder to take pictures. Looking up at the sky, blue sky and white clouds is indeed very beautiful. However, since there are no guardrails on either side of the ladder, it looks very dangerous. Seeing them walking up beautifully, I thought to myself, “What if they accidentally step on their skirts or stand unsteadily when they are on the ladder?” It was really sweating. Certainly, there is no greater thing than safety. Fortunately, the ladder has set up barriers within the safety range to remind visitors that they can no longer go up, but it is found that some people are still desperate, and some even climb to the top of the ladder to pose for photos. If it were you, would you dare to go to the end of the ladder in order to take a beautiful photo? Yunshang Ranch is full of natural and wild fun. This is a ranch that integrates cute pet animals and online celebrity check-in projects. It is intensively watched and divided into many small attractions. If you want to have fun one by one, the best way is to live. There is a common people’s street next to the red stone forest in the scenic spot, where you can eat and stay, and the night is very lively.

Experts talk about making good use of algorithms: using social ethics to guide technological development

editor — Tue, 22 Jun 2021 03:22:12 +0000

Data map. Image source: Unsplash Beijing News (Reporter Xiao Longping) On June 18, the Intelligent Media Research Center of the School of Journalism and Communication of Tsinghua University and the Xinjing Think Tank jointly held an online forum on “Algorithms Make Good Use of Intelligent Humanities: Multidisciplinary Integration of Intelligent Information”. Experts and scholars from the School of Journalism and Communication of Tsinghua University, the School of Journalism and Communication of Beijing Normal University, the School of Journalism of Fudan University, the School of Philosophy of Renmin University of China, the School of Journalism and Communication of China Communication University, and the School of Communication of Shenzhen University, discuss the value creation and social development of algorithm technology The positive significance of the discussion. The algorithm of “Top of the Storm” has opened up people’s cognition, psychology and thinking paths In recent years, the term “algorithm” has appeared in the public eye with an unprecedented frequency. Some algorithm-related events have aroused attention and heated discussions in our country and even the world, and algorithms have become a focus of attention on the “tip of the storm”. However, from the academic discussion of mathematics to computer programming languages, algorithms cannot be regarded as a new concept. According to Yu Guoming, former dean of the School of Journalism and Communication of Beijing Normal University and a Changjiang scholar, the reason why “algorithms” are suddenly hot is because the rapid development of information dissemination technology has created an “algorithmic” digital economy and a new society of information dissemination. As the foundation of the digital economy, algorithms are moving from “behind the scenes” to “foreground”. Jiang Qiaolei, associate professor of the School of Journalism and Communication of Tsinghua University and deputy director of the Intelligent Media Research Center, believes that algorithm technology may not only be used as a tool to greatly enhance and change the depth and breadth of the influence of past media effects, but also open up people’s recognition. Knowledge, psychology and thinking path. For example, some scholars studying memory have found that after using smart media, people’s memory method has changed from the original content of specific information to the path of memory to obtain information, that is, how to find this information. That is, people no longer accurately remember the specific content of the information, but remember where the information content can be found. Once needed, the specific content of the information is retrieved through the search engine, and the algorithm facilitates the channel of information acquisition. Facing ethical dilemmas and improving algorithm transparency While the algorithm brings convenience to human life, it also exposes some contradictions between technology and humans, technology and humanities, including contradictions in values and ethical dilemmas. Zhang Taofu, executive dean of the School of Journalism at Fudan University and a Changjiang scholar, said that the biggest contradiction at present seems to be magnified by technology. What is the biggest contradiction? The contradiction between the finiteness of our cognition and the overproduction and overload of information. In the technological age, people’s cognitive ability has not been doubled, but the amount of information possessed has increased exponentially. So, “How can I find the content I need in a limited time with such a large amount of information? The subject itself cannot solve it. It must provide a solution for us through technology and algorithms,” Zhang Taofu said. At the same time, worries about the “information cocoon room” followed one after another. American scholar Cass R. Sunstein put forward the concept of “information cocoon room” in a political context. In our country, this concept has been misunderstood and abused. For example, there is a view that continuous algorithmic recommendation will keep users in a similar information field created by personal interests for a long time, forming a “cocoon room”, and rejecting other reasonable opinions from intruding. So, does the “information cocoon room” really exist? Chen Changfeng, executive vice dean and professor of the School of Journalism and Communication of Tsinghua University, believes that if people live in a pure environment where only homogeneous information pushed by algorithms and only obtain one type of information, it is possible to form a “cocoon house.” But in fact, the information environment of our era is diverse and rich, and content with inconsistent views cannot be avoided. The current diverse information environment is a paradox formed by the “information cocoon room”. Data map. Image source: Unsplash The “information cocoon room” is just a worry. Chen Changfeng introduced that the information aggregation platform can enhance the diversity of information by optimizing the technical model of the algorithm. This provides the conditions for individuals to obtain richer information, and also stimulates the user’s subjective initiative to become a “active audience”. It can be seen that media literacy education is also a way to resolve the misunderstanding of the “cocoon room”. Jiang Qiaolei agreed that when the transparency of the algorithm is increased and a wider range of users can participate in it, it will naturally reduce the worry about the algorithm. Make good use of algorithms and guide technological development with social ethics In the past historical and cultural context, the ethics of algorithm technology has not been included in the scope of thinking. Jiang Qiaolei pointed out that in a society where people are the main body, the legal level of regulation and the expectations of moral concepts have been fully and maturely discussed, but the communication ethics and media ethics with algorithms as the main body need to be re-examined: Some legal norms and existing moral concepts, adapt to and accept it. According to Professor Zhang Xiao, deputy dean and professor of the School of Philosophy, Renmin University of China, our use of algorithms should be limited, because artificial intelligence built by algorithms is actually limited intelligence, not human intelligence. At the same time, algorithms are just tools, and all the responsibilities cannot be shifted to algorithms. A limited agent constructed by algorithms should not bear any moral responsibility, because at the ethical level, it has no autonomy, self-discipline, self-control, and self-awareness, and it is not a moral subject. Zhang Xiao believes that the entire evaluation and ethical review of the values in the design and operation of the algorithm will help to think about the ethical issues that may be involved in the design, operation and application of the algorithm, and the ethical issues that may arise from these ethical issues. Some of the moral consequences of this, and then let the public have a certain sensitivity in advance. Zhang Taofu said that technology is now in the front, people in the middle, and regulations in the back. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the regulation of algorithms and other technologies, and only the mechanism generation can guide the behavior of the public. Earlier, the European Union’s “Ethical Guidelines for Trusted Artificial Intelligence” proposed the principle of making good use of algorithms. The future of intelligent algorithms is to understand ethical algorithms. In the algorithm development process, a cooperative “algorithm development mechanism” is adopted, that is, stakeholders are involved in the development of algorithms, so as to form an algorithm governance model in which stakeholders participate in decision-making. Professor Chao Naipeng, dean and professor of the School of Communication of Shenzhen University, believes that algorithms involving multiple stakeholders can effectively manage ethical issues such as the so-called “black box” of algorithms to a certain extent. The cultivation of users’ digital literacy is a way to solve algorithm concerns. After users understand the operating logic of the technology itself, they can get rid of the “black box” from the epistemological perspective. Chang Jiang, a distinguished professor of the School of Communication of Shenzhen University and the executive director of the Center for Media Convergence and International Communication, mentioned, “Even if some things can never be made transparent, But I can realize what the “black” logic is.” Qiu Junqian, an associate professor at the School of Journalism and Communication of Communication University of China, emphasized that finding and understanding the boundary objects in the intelligent ecology, planning and predicting the technical logic and ethical logic behind them will help open the “black box” and allow technology to better serve people. “We don’t need to worry about it, simply and rudely hit the algorithm to the bottom, and blame it for the original sin.” Chen Changfeng said that technology helps the public to be surrounded by sufficient information and multi-faceted choices to pursue their own preferences and gain more. To communicate more, use new technology with a positive attitude, and let it serve mankind. Serving social groups with algorithmic information is the proper meaning of science and technology. Today, Toutiao has launched the “Toutiao Searching for People”, and Douyin has launched the “Sunflower Project” to ensure that minors go online. The Internet and other platforms are also following closely. Combine algorithm technology with social development to serve the public. “We need to implement well-intentioned advocacy and rational criticism into the effective development of algorithms, and use social demands to promote technological innovation. This is the ultimate goal of making good use of algorithms,” said Chao Naipeng. Reporter: Xiao Longping Editor: Zhang Xiaoyuan Proofreading: Li Lijun

Is the Russian Mi-28 really strong to compete with the American AH-64?

Việt Hùng — Sat, 19 Jun 2021 16:03:18 +0000

Despite being classified as a heavy attack helicopter, Russia’s Mi-28 is still struggling to find a place to compete with the US AH-64 helicopter.

While the US AH-64 has performed excellently both in combat and in the export market, the Russian Mi-28 has only Iraqi and Algerian customers. The idea that Mi-28 will be chosen by India, however, in the end New Delhi chose the US AH-64. Mi-28 is also a line of attack helicopters with a long development time when the first flight appeared in 1982, but it was not until 2009 that the version capable of day and night combat entered service. After having an unimpressive first field trip in the Syrian battlefield, Russia has continued to upgrade to produce the Mi-28NM version. Currently in Russia’s official payroll, there is a Mi-28A version that is only capable of daytime combat, this version is not appreciated; Mi-28N is a version capable of fighting in all weather conditions including night and the upgraded version of Mi-28NM has only been commissioned in small numbers. To be fair, the Mi-28 is a line of heavy attack helicopters capable of delivering devastating blows to the enemy. However, the Mi-28 did not live up to expectations when it was designed to replace the Mi-24s. In the Syrian battlefield, the Mi-28N did not even prove superior to the Mi-24. This made many Russian generals criticize the developer. Perhaps that is why the manufacturer Mil bet on the Mi-28NM version. Compared to its predecessor, although there are not many major changes in appearance except for the nose, the changes brought from the inside have helped this aircraft achieve high combat performance. Weapons analysts said that with the introduction of the Mi-28NM version, the attack helicopter line was enough to line up with the latest US version of the AH-64E. There have been reports that the Mi-28NM was secretly brought to Syria to test fire by Russia to evaluate its combat performance and obtain positive results. It was from this real combat test that Russia quickly decided to put the Mi-28NM into mass production. In terms of structure, the cockpit of the Mi-28NM is reinforced more firmly, with an air-conditioning system, with additional protective armor, including a metal front windshield that is resistant to 12 bullets, 7 mm. The cabin has an additional layer of glass that separates the compartment between the two pilots, minimizing the possibility of the main pilot and the pilot pilot dying at the same time from enemy fire. The alloy frame of the Mi-28NM is able to withstand 20mm anti-aircraft shells. With the design applied on Mi-28NM, for the first time the principle of separating the cockpit between the main pilot and the pilot pilot has been applied. In the event of an emergency when the plane is above 100 m above the ground, the crew can parachute out when the plane crashes and crashes. The emergency exit system will be activated by the main pilot and the pilot pilot separately. According to Mr. Dmitry Litovkin, CEO of Independent Military Review, Mi-28NM is an attack helicopter version with enhanced tactical features, especially combat power. The helicopter is equipped with high-precision weapons, has a new control system integrated with artificial intelligence (AI). Mi-28NM is compatible, join the battle formation with helicopters, UAVs and other aircraft on the battlefield. In terms of firepower, the Mi-28NM heavy attack helicopter is equipped with a variety of powerful weapons systems, including new-generation multipurpose missiles and various bombs. The helicopter can attack stationary and moving targets within a radius of 8-10 km. Mi-28NM has a new LSN-296 aiming system, which can control two of Russia’s most powerful anti-tank missiles today, Khrizantema and Vikhr. The pilot of the Mi-28NM is equipped with a flying helmet with a specially designed target indicator system, displaying panoramic information to aim at targets in all directions. Mi-28NM is equipped with Nadterechny Н025 radar as well as a new generation of aiming and guidance complexes, including a control system for landing in dark and foggy conditions, which helps to improve combat efficiency. almost twice that of its predecessor. In the design of the Mi-28NM, the position of the radar transceiver remains above the main rotor of the helicopter. In addition to the upgraded avionics and body frame, the other difference is that the propeller of the Mi-28NM uses composite materials to make the helicopter more stable, the new engine is stronger but more fuel-efficient than that of the Mi-28NM. Predecessor. In addition, Mi-28NM is also equipped with a suicide drone. Helicopters can enter a predefined combat area and launch one or more drones from the cockpit. Once the target has been identified, the crew will report the data and monitor the kill launch process. Mi-28NM is capable of operating in all weather conditions, can fly in both automatic and manned modes, adapts to all kinds of terrain. One of the most practical improvements in the Mi-28NM is the crew’s “double control” mode. In the event that the main pilot is injured or killed, the pilot can still control the helicopter. Another improvement is that Mi-28NM is equipped with an additional radar system on the cockpit, capable of scanning around the aircraft, with a scanning angle of up to 90 degrees horizontally and 44 degrees vertically, helping detect and locate multiple targets at the same time. With such top-notch features, Russia’s Mi-28NM is expected to create a breakthrough in the combat capabilities of the Russian military as well as in the export market.

=====Spot gold market trend analysis=====

On Tuesday (June 15), international gold prices are expected to stabilize, ending the previous two consecutive days of decline, as the dollar’s fall has boosted the attractiveness of safe-haven gold. Investors are waiting for the results of the Fed meeting to find new clues to reduce the scale of bond purchases. The strategist said: “Technically speaking, gold has fallen below the key support level and appears to be entering a bearish trend… This means that the market may be ready to withstand the Fed’s gradual reduction in asset purchases.” Investors wait for the Fed’s upcoming announcement on Wednesday. Results of the new policy meeting. According to the survey, nearly 60% of economists said that the Fed will release the highly anticipated debt reduction plan in the next quarter. It is also worth noting that the US May retail sales data will be announced later in the day. Previously released data showed that soaring consumer prices in the United States benefited gold, which is often seen as a tool to hedge against inflation. The price of gold closed down mainly because the market was worried that the Fed would reduce QE ahead of schedule before the Fed’s decision. Some investors began to reduce the long positions they had previously established, which put downward pressure on the gold price in the short term. The rise of Bitcoin has led to a slowdown in the outflow of cryptocurrency funds, which is not conducive to the price of gold.

From a technical point of view, the daily level of gold prices rebounded on Monday, and European and American gold prices suffered a sharp drop, hitting the lowest level since May 17, and they rebounded strongly after hitting 1845, the intersection of the 10-day moving average and crossing the 200-day moving average. , And recovered most of the decline, and finally closed at 1866.16. The daily line recorded a bardo line with a long lower shadow. The MACD and KDJ dead cross signals continued, and the 10-day moving average crossed the 20-day moving average to form a dead cross. The gold price rebound failed to regain the upward trend line of 1873 in early May. There is still a risk of falling again in the short-term. Initial support is concerned about the daily low of 1858.7. This position is also close to the lower track of the Bollinger Band. If it breaks below, the price of gold may once again step on 1845 for confirmation. Support; on the whole, gold prices may currently face the greatest downward pressure since the rebound at the end of March. The future trend will largely depend on the Fed’s statement. Before then, gold bulls are expected to remain weak; however, As the price of gold started a strong rebound after it gained support near 1845, the short-term bearish signal has also weakened. If the price of gold can remain above the lower rail of the Bollinger Band 1860, there is still a chance for the price of gold to counterattack further. First, pay attention to the resistance near 1873. The price of gold needs to stabilize this position to effectively reverse the current weakness. Further resistance is near 1888. This position is at the same time the middle of the Bollinger Band and the 10-day moving average. If it breaks through, the price of gold will have the opportunity to hit the 1900 mark again. On the whole, today’s short-term operation thinking Wang Jinyao suggests to rebound from the high altitude, supplemented by the callback low and more. The top short-term focus is on the first-line resistance of 1878-1883, and the bottom short-term focus is on the first-line support of 1845-1850.

===== International crude oil market trend analysis=====

On Tuesday (June 15), international oil prices rose and are expected to rise for the fourth consecutive trading day. With the delay in negotiations for the United States to rejoin the Iran nuclear agreement, the prospect of Iran’s provision of additional supplies to the market soon fades away. The United States and Iran, as well as other parties to the 2015 Iran nuclear agreement, resumed indirect discussions in Vienna last Saturday (June 12). The return of the United States to the agreement will pave the way for the lifting of sanctions on Iran, which will enable the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) member states to resume crude oil exports. The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and major oil-producing countries (OPEC+) including Russia have been reducing production to support oil prices. ING said: “Additional supply from OPEC+ will be needed in the second half of this year, as demand is expected to continue to recover.” Encouraged by the obvious signs of rapid global economic recovery and continued reductions in production by US shale oil producers, hedge funds took long positions in oil last week. Raise to pre-pandemic levels. Analysts said: “The technical indicators on the daily chart currently show that crude oil is in the overbought zone and may be pulled back.” He said that investors and traders are also paying attention to the results of the two-day Fed meeting that began late Tuesday. , In order to find the signal when to start reducing monetary stimulus. Three sources familiar with the situation said that under pressure from labor unions and including U.S. senators from his hometown of Delaware, the Biden administration is considering how to reduce the burden of biofuel blending on U.S. refineries.

From a technical point of view, from a daily perspective, crude oil relied on the MA5 daily moving average to rise on the next day, and then fell back slightly after setting a new high during the intraday session. A small sun with a shadow line was recorded, the Bollinger band opened up, and the oil price was running at the upper middle. Track, moving average and long positions are arranged, operating below the oil price to form support, the support below focuses on the opening level of this week, and then the moving average horizontal support. From a 4-hour perspective, crude oil showed a slow upward trend the next day, and then fell back after a short puncture on the upper track. It held high and sideways. The Bollinger Bands are currently in an open period. After the MA moving average is arranged in a long position, the MA 5-10 daily moving average Moving forward, the KDJ stochastic indicator hooks upward in three lines, the MACD indicator diverges, and the fast and slow lines move forward in parallel. On the whole, crude oil is currently insufficient to rise in the short term, or it will rise after a wave of retracements. On the whole, today’s short-term operation thinking Wang Jinyao suggested to call back low and high, supplemented by rebound high altitude, the top short-term focus on the 72.5-73 resistance, the bottom short-term focus on the 68.5-69 first-line support.

What makes the upgraded Mi-28NM the most powerful Russian helicopter?

Hoài Thanh/Báo Tin tức (RBTH) — Wed, 16 Jun 2021 13:14:10 +0000

The Mi-28NM, the latest version of the Mi-28N helicopter, will be unveiled at the MAKS-2021 aerospace show to be held in the city of Zhukovsky, on the outskirts of Moscow, Russia next July.

Upgraded Russian Mi-28NM attack helicopter. Photo: TASS The demonstration of the complex technical features of the Mi-28NM attack helicopter will be one of the most awaited events of MASK-2021. “The Mi-28NM helicopter has undergone many upgrades after being tested on the Syrian battlefield. Engineers have successfully experimented in real combat conditions to present the most powerful version of the ‘iron bird’ in the Russian air force,” said Professor Vadim Kozyulin of the Russian Academy of Military Sciences. . In terms of structure, the cockpit of the Mi-28NM is reinforced more firmly, with an air-conditioning system, with additional protective armor, including a metal front windshield that is resistant to 12 bullets, 7 mm. The cabin has an additional layer of glass that separates the compartment between the two pilots, minimizing the possibility of the main pilot and the pilot pilot dying at the same time from enemy fire. The iron frame of the Mi-28NM is capable of withstanding 20mm anti-aircraft shells. With this design, for the first time, the principle of separating the cockpit between the main pilot and the pilot pilot was applied. In the event of an emergency when the plane is above 100 m above the ground, the crew can parachute to escape when the plane crashes and crashes. The emergency exit system will be activated by the main pilot and the pilot pilot separately. Mi-28NM is equipped with a powerful weapon system and firepower.

The Bathing King’s Guide to the Northeast Bathhouse

editor — Tue, 15 Jun 2021 20:04:06 +0000

It’s probably the first time I came to the Northeast Bathhouse when I went to take a bath. They didn’t know how to choose and distinguish the bathing items. They were afraid of being fooled by others, so this guide was given to those who came to the Northeast Bathhouse for the first time. South Jimei.

First of all, you have to choose a bathing center that you think the ticket price and environment are acceptable. The general tickets I go to are about 50-60 baths. The environment is very good, with a steaming area and a rest hall. The bathing area is very spacious. There are public bathing pools and private bathing pools at your own expense.

Secondly, when you come to the bathing center, the staff will ask you if you need to wash your sleeves. (Package meaning: scrubbing + ordinary milk push + shoeshine tickets for free or scrubbing + private bath + shoeshine for tickets, or scrubbing + rest hall loosening bones + shoeshine for tickets) This is common bathing Routine. My personal suggestion is that if you want to experience it once, you can choose a package for a cutscene. If you want to clean your Jimeis comfortably and deeply, you don’t need to choose a package if funds allow.

Then if you don’t choose the package, enter the bathhouse, undress, enter the shower area, go to the bathing area, write your hand number, soak in a public bath or private bath, and wait for the bathing aunt to call your hand number. You can choose milk. Rub vinegar, red wine, rub, rub mud, rub (according to personal preference or not directly dry rub), after rubbing, you can choose a milk push (apply a moisturizing cream similar to body lotion to massage, there are many types of freshly squeezed or Honey milk or cod liver oil) many types, freshly squeezed or honey milk or cod liver oil) here is the key point: Jimei with limited funds is optimistic about the price list. Choose what you like, don’t listen to others, I usually use honey cod liver oil, fragrant ~ After finishing all these options, you can go to the steam room and rest hall to drink tea after you wash yourself and put on the bath clothes (there are free, some for consumption, depending on personal hobbies).

There is a set of tickets for Jimei, enter the bath area and the staff indicate that you are a set ticket, if the staff is particularly enthusiastic to recommend you to do this and that, then it depends on your own choice, if you really don’t need it, you must Be bold and clear with the staff, don’t be shy, and avoid spending wronged money.You can ask if there is a group purchase when you pay the last order

The above is the overall process of bathing. For Jimei coming from the south, you must also prepare a strategy in advance, and have a simple understanding of the northeast bathhouse culture in advance. Generally speaking, the key point is: choose what you like and don’t be blinded by the enthusiastic staff. Welcome to Jimei to experience the bathhouse culture in Dadongbei. It is really comfortable.

Original Russian female tourist raised her feet and put her front seat in the front row. This Thai tour guide was depressed again

editor — Thu, 10 Jun 2021 03:45:05 +0000

Recently, the Kunakorn Jailbanjerd tour guide posted a photo of a tourist with his feet on the front seat. According to Kunakorn Jailbanjerd’s Facebook account, the female tourist in the picture is from Russia. She took a ferry to Pattaya that day. But on the way, this lady raised her foot and placed it on the front row. I don’t know if this time because the opponent is a fighting ethnic girl, Kunakorn Jailbanjerd did not step forward to stop it!

Not long ago, Narong Thaopanya also revealed on the Internet that a French female tourist put her “Jade Feet” on the front seat on the bus, which made the Thai tour guide in the front row depressed.

Moreover, he was indignant that many communications made this beautiful female tourist put down her expensive feet, but the female tourist still did her own way, so Narong Thaopanya had to smell the smelly smell all the way.

In Thai folklore, the feet are considered dirty. Of course, in our daily tradition, putting your feet on the front seat is also an extremely low-quality behavior.

When it comes to the quality of tourists, Chinese tourists have also “showed their faces” in Thailand. A few years ago, Thai media reported that Chinese tourists were washing their feet in the wash basin! Not to mention that this kind of behavior is extremely low quality. When we travel, we must pay attention to our own speech and behavior. We must respect different places and countries and different folk cultures. This is not only a manifestation of personal qualities, but also a basic quality of travellers. ?

‘Magic wings’ Su-17/22 is Russia’s last single-engine fighter

Việt Hùng — Wed, 02 Jun 2021 00:50:06 +0000

The Su-17/22 was the last single-engine swing-wing fighter that Russia owned before they were completely retired in 1996.
The Su-17 and its export variant, the Su-22, is a famous single-engine, swing-wing fighter that was developed by the Soviet Union in the 1960s. An estimated 2,200 of these fighters were produced. and its variants are still in service with the air forces of many countries.

The unique design enables the Su-17/22 to fly at low altitudes at high speed or at high altitudes at supersonic speeds. Weapons are quite diverse and for a long time it is always the nightmare of any ground force confronting them. Su-17/22″ fighter Su-22M4 is the last production variant of this swing-wing fighter with significant upgrades to the avionics including: RSDN navigation system, inertial navigation system, range measurement system. laser way, radar warning system SPO-15LE, in addition on the aircraft design additional air intake slots to have more airflow to cool the engine. Su-22M4 – the most powerful variant of this fighter line After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Russia inherited a lot of this fighter, this is also the only single-engine supersonic fighter that Russia owns, they continue to serve effectively in the frontline air force. and it was not until 1996 that they were completely scrapped to be replaced by more modern fighter lines.

Su-30SM2 Super Sukhoi, rival of the US F-15EX

Việt Hùng — Mon, 31 May 2021 16:13:05 +0000

The Su-30SM2 is an upgraded version of the Su-30SM with a powerful engine and can carry guided missiles and bombs to adapt to modern warfare.
Currently, the Su-30SM is the main line of fighters, along with the Su-35, they are the two backbone fighter lines in the equipment of the Russian Air Force. Currently there are more than 100 Su-30SMs in service, not satisfied with the current strength, Russia continues to upgrade them to the standard Su-30SM2 Super Sukhoi.

Since 2015, Russian engineers have sought to increase the combat capabilities of the Su-30SM. In particular, the plan to combine Su-30SM with Su-35S is also very feasible. To carry out this plan, engineers prepared a new Su-30SM model with a new engine, and studied the possibility of installing a new, more powerful “Irbis” radar instead of the current system. During the modernization process, the developers will propose to install the AL-41F-1C engine using the Su-35 for the Su-30SM2 version. The new engine is much more efficient than the current Su-30SM. “The life cycle of aircraft engines has doubled without increasing weight and size. Equipped with a plasma ignition system, the AL-41F-1C engine is more economical than the AL-31FP engine that the Su-30SM is using. With the same amount of fuel, the upgraded fighter can stay in the sky longer. In addition, the avionics, radar and visual positioning system have also been improved,” said Cadim Kozulin, an expert at the Russian Academy of Military Sciences. With the engine power and possibly the radar will also be upgraded, the Su-30SM2 Super Sukhoi will be a formidable opponent of the latest US F-15EX.

How useful were US reconnaissance satellites in the war in Afghanistan?

Nguyên Phong — Fri, 28 May 2021 20:58:07 +0000

During the war in Afghanistan, the satellite system was used by the US military to ensure accurate information about the Taliban’s operational intentions.
In the optical-electronic reconnaissance satellite system, there are six Lacros reconnaissance satellites, which are responsible for providing reflection images of military technical targets, structures and means, observing the area of the garrison. of the Taliban forces. These satellites capture high-resolution images and are used in conjunction with the SDS and TDRS relay satellites.

For the purpose of expanding photo reconnaissance capabilities to ensure combat operations, the US National Mapping and Photographic Reconnaissance Service is authorized to use images of the territory of Afghanistan taken by the commercial Ikones satellite, with high resolution. 1m resolution. The US military also has the right to use information received from the satellite system to explore the earth’s natural resources. These are Landsat-7, Terra, Orview satellites. Information from these satellites is used to establish, supplement and clarify topographic maps, to facilitate the assessment of the situation in the area of combat operations. The figure shows the NAVSTAR navigation satellite system. Photo: britannica In this war, the United States decided to extend the use of the experimental satellite for opto-electronic imaging of the earth’s surface EO-1 belonging to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for the purpose of ensuring the integrity of the satellite. better for the US military. Thanks to this satellite, the US military has received images of the earth’s surface position with a resolution of 30m, allowing it to be used to assess the damage of the target, on the basis of comparing the multispectral images obtained to take pictures before and after taking the blows and to calm down on the need for repeat attacks. For radio reconnaissance satellites, the US uses 2 Acvakaid satellites (Magnum and Mentor types). These satellites allow the reception of radio communications, relay communications, convection, signals from satellites, signals of ballistic missiles, aircraft and vehicle control signals. unmanned flight. It is said that the Taliban use very modern means of mobile satellite communication. However, the American radio reconnaissance satellite allows to capture the communications between the Taliban commanders, to detect in time the location of the troops and their plans. Military communication satellites work with the greatest intensity, but only guarantee 40-60% of the requirements of the forces participating in the campaign. In the composition of this satellite cluster, there are 6 satellites of the DSCS strategic communication system, 3 satellites connected to the Mistar tactical and strategic communication network, 2 UFO-type satellites of the tactical-operational communication system. of the navy, air force and army, six satellites of the SDS transmission system. In addition, the US also uses satellites belonging to NASA systems to monitor and transmit TDSS information. Due to the sudden increase in the information traffic required to secure the operation, the United States had to make maximum use of space communication systems (compared to Operation Desert Storm, the traffic of information delivery increased by 7 times). Especially the Iridium mobile satellite communication system with 66 satellites operating in low orbit. This system ensures that the US military groups have enough communication channels connecting to the US Department of Defense’s digital information network (DISN) and ensures the communication system of the US state executive agencies, ensuring for the national telephone system and the Internet. The NAVSTAR navigation satellite system includes 24 satellites that ensure real-time navigation for US forces. The shortening of the adjustment time between satellites of the NAVSTAR system by the test measurement complexes of the US Air Force allows to improve the accuracy and determine the target coordinates for the use of technological weapons. high. In planning and conducting air strikes and missile strikes, the US military places particular emphasis on using information received from the satellites of the National Environmental Monitoring System (NPOESS). This system is used for weather forecasting, setting up global and regional meteorological maps for a period of 1 day to 2 weeks, allowing selection of information on cloud status, atmospheric pressure, etc. atmosphere and other parameters of near-Earth space. Meteorological satellites Block-5D2-8 and Block-5D3-1 are used with the highest intensity. The improvement of the operational efficiency of the NPOESS system allows to fully guarantee the US military units with meteorological information. In particular, the forecast of changes in solar activity has provided the ability to promptly correct the functions of communication, reconnaissance and navigation satellites, contributing to improving the efficiency of attacks and the detection of satellites. command the forces. To secure meteorological forecasts for navies, NASA’s Quicksat satellites are used to determine wind speed and direction over the ocean’s surface. Thus, during the war in Afghanistan, US satellite systems were used with high efficiency. At the same time, it also revealed some disadvantages, such as the lack of radar and opto-electronic reconnaissance satellites to timely orient the commander to use tactical forces. As a result, in some cases, commanders did not receive timely reconnaissance information. In addition, the satellite’s unobservable cycle over the combat area disrupted the monitoring of the movements of Taliban forces and vehicles.

India is world famous for many unique traditional customs. These customs have been practiced continuously for many centuries and have important implications in people’s lives.

One of the unique traditional customs in India is Namaste, also known as Namaskar, Namaskaare. This is a traditional form of greeting for the Indian people. It is mentioned in the Hindu Vedic Sutras. Indians will perform the way to greet Namaste by holding hands together and placed in front of their chest. The meaning of this action means “Let our minds understand each other”. In addition, the word Namaste can also be interpreted as “na ma” (not mine). This shows a reduction of self in front of another person. In Hindu culture, the first haircut for a baby boy in the first three years from birth (also known as mundan sanskar) is extremely important. According to Hindu conception, the newborn hairs of a child contain the evils and calamities of a previous life. Therefore, shaving the child will help start a new life, not being attached to the previous life. During the mundan sanskar ceremony, a monk will be invited to perform the ritual. After the barber has finished shaving, the child’s head will be covered with turmeric and a piece of sandalwood. Indian weddings are celebrated with many traditional customs. Among these, an important tradition is that the bride’s family will give dowry gold jewelry. This custom is called Stree-dhan. Over time, some of the above traditions have changed. Dowry can be cash, land. Even the bride’s family also gives a large sum of money for school education for the groom. This action is intended to thank the groom’s house for taking care of their daughter.

Iran showed off a series of self-made UAVs during the National Army Day parade

Hoàng Phạm/VOV.VN (biên dịch) Theo Sputnik — Mon, 19 Apr 2021 08:29:09 +0000

Dozens of new Iranian military UAVs appeared during the National Army Day parade. Among these are UAVs that can be suitable for a variety of tasks, from simple suicide attacks, to surveillance or precision attacks.
At the parade, there was the new Kaman-22 reconnaissance and attack UAV in 2021 of the Iranian Air Force and the Kaman-12 UAV model produced from 2019.

Older UAV models such as the Qods Mohajer-6 developed in 2017, the Yasirr and HESA Karar reconnaissance UAVs, often used in firing drills, were also on display during this year’s parade. In addition to the domestically produced UAV collection, guided missile systems such as the Damavand long-range missile and the Zolfaqar short and low-range missile systems also appeared at the parade. Iran’s goal of becoming a UAV powerhouse in the region of Iran is significantly limited due to international sanctions. Iran relies heavily on copying foreign UAVs, collecting debris from neighboring countries or from UAVs shot down in Iran. UAVs are not the only sector where the defense industry has made progress in recent decades. Iran currently produces small weapons, aircraft warships, missiles … Among these, the ballistic missile program is a concern for Israel and the US. The US believes that Iran’s ballistic missile program should be limited like its nuclear program. However, Tehran asserted that its ballistic missile program poses no threat to the United States, due to its limited range.

A guide for art students to study in Japan for further studies can also be transferred to majors

A guide for art students to study in Japan for further studies can also be transferred to majors

With the development of the domestic economy, more and more students are studying in Japan. In the mainstream camp of learning “economy” and “management”, art students have also quietly increased. And some people choose liberal arts and sciences to transfer to fine arts after coming to Japan, and take the examinations of fine arts universities or art subjects in Japan. So, how should we prepare for the advancement of art students and transfer art students?

Japanese language and requirements

Japanese language scores are required to apply to a Japanese university. Ordinary universities require liberal arts or science scores and Japanese scores, and some require English scores. Most universities of fine arts only need to submit Japanese grades.

The Japanese language scores of international students are divided into two categories, one is the JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test), which is the “N1” and “N2” level test. Generally, a certificate of N2 or above is required for university applications. The second is EJU (Experiment for Foreign Students), which includes three subjects: Japanese, Liberal Arts, and Science. Art students only need Japanese scores, 400 points for Japanese listening and reading comprehension + 50 points for narration (small composition), for a total of 450 points. However, the scores of small essays are not considered by universities, and generally only counted as 400 points for listening and reading. Generally, applying to universities requires more than 250 points, and some universities only need more than 220 points.

The university only needs to submit one grade, and it is recommended to take the most insurance for both exams.

Professional requirements

The contents of the domestic professional examinations are three unchanging items (sketch avatars, watercolor still lifes, dynamic sketches of characters), while the professional examinations in Japan have different emphases and different examination contents according to different schools and subjects. No professional examination is required. Due to the differences in the content of professional examinations between China and Japan, students can choose to go to a private art school or preparatory proofreading for understanding and learning. Since professional art students have participated in intensive training in China and have a foundation in art, professional examinations in Japanese universities will be easier. If you cannot keep up with new art students, it is recommended to apply to universities that do not require professional examinations.

University selection

Japanese universities are divided into national public universities and private universities. The tuition fees of national and public universities are cheap but it is very difficult to qualify. The language and professional requirements for international students will be very high. The tuition fees of private universities are more expensive but the educational conditions are also very good. Tokyo University of the Arts (national) Tama Art University (private) Musashino Art University (private) Tokyo University of Art (private) Women’s Art University (private), also known as the “Tokyo Five Beauties”, and the Faculty of Art at Nihon University, Tokyo Polytechnic University, etc., are the Japanese universities that students consider most. There are many other good universities, and the major settings of each university are different. You still have to choose according to the major you want to study. Universities have open days, where you can visit the university and have the opportunity to communicate with professors.

University exam (interview + practical skills)

Japanese universities need interviews, and interview scores account for 70% of all scores, which can be said to be very, very important. General interviews are organized around five basic questions (one, why come to Japan; two, why choose this school; three, why choose this major; four, study plan; five, post-graduation planning) and the rest will involve a little bit Professional knowledge, such as your favorite designers and works, etc., should be prepared according to the major you choose. There are also some universities that need to prepare a portfolio, and you need to introduce your portfolio to the professor during the interview. The interview is really important, but it doesn’t mean that your spoken English is good or your Japanese scores are good. Some students with average Japanese scores are very, very brilliant as long as they prepare well.

Practical skills refer to the professional examinations organized within the university, mainly drawing sketches, different university time requirements are also different, mainly based on the actual university.

I hope that the students will have a good attitude to prepare for the exam in Japan, and work and rest together. I hope that everyone can be admitted to the university they like!

Fliggy released a guide to avoiding crowds on May 1st: Night tour, reverse tour, and cross-peak flying are more affordable

editor — Fri, 16 Apr 2021 12:28:08 +0000

Dongfang.com reporter Cao Lei reported on April 15: The May 1st holiday is approaching, and the long-awaited “people follow the crowd” in domestic travel is about to reappear. Where can I go to avoid the crowds? Fliggy and Damai recently released a travel guide: night tours and reverse tours help avoid crowds, and the cost of flights from second-tier cities is low. At the same time, performance tours and archaeological tours are trending nowadays, and the combination of culture and tourism allows everyone to gain knowledge while playing.

On the Fliggy platform, the volume and prices of May Day tours have risen, fully surpassing the pre-epidemic period. The number of travel vacation and hotel bookings increased by more than 11 times year-on-year. The number of inter-provincial long-distance travel bookings for more than 3 hours increased by more than 150% year-on-year, and for the first time after the epidemic, the increase exceeded that of surrounding travel.

May Day outing bookings hit a record high

It is hard to see the situation of enjoying the beautiful scenery this year. From the perspective of destination popularity, bookings in Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Sanya, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Chongqing, Shenzhen, Xiamen, Nanjing and Wuhan are more popular. Dark horses appear frequently in the northwest and southwest. Xining, Urumqi, Lanzhou, and Dingzhen’s hometown of Ganzi in Sichuan are becoming more and more popular, with search popularity increasing by over 630%, 500%, 380% and 510% respectively year-on-year.

The unit price of tourists on May 1st this year has risen by nearly 30% year-on-year, and the price of air tickets has risen by more than 20% compared to before the epidemic. Avoiding popular departure airports is a smart way to reduce travel costs. Fliggy data shows that from second- and third-tier cities to popular destinations such as Hainan, Gansu, Xinjiang and other popular destinations, discounts are greater. For example, during May 1st, the cheapest economy class price from Shanghai to Sanya is also 2250 yuan, while flying from Ningbo to Sanya is only 570 yuan as low as 30%.

Some users choose to travel backwards, go to non-first-tier provincial capital cities for a City Walk or go for an in-depth tour of niche destinations. For example, flying from Jinan to Yan’an as low as 1.4% off only costs 320 yuan, Beijing Feizhoushan 2.1% off 570 yuan, Shanghai to Nanchang 2.5% off 260 yuan, Hangzhou to Jinan 30% off 330 yuan.

Macau, as the first outbound travel destination to resume endorsement, will also usher in the peak of travel on May Day. Fliggy data shows that since April, the number of tourist bookings in Macau has increased by more than 1500% year-on-year. Macau teamlab, Macau Tower, Gondola, Parisian Tower, and Figure 8 Ferris wheel are the most popular attractions.

Watching performances and cultural relics is better than seeing scenic spots

After 00, the number of travel bookings for May Day increased by more than 570% year-on-year, ranking first in terms of growth rate. Third-tier cities and below accounted for nearly 65% of the number of tourists, Ningbo, Suzhou, Changsha, Hefei, Dalian, Shenyang, Zhengzhou, Wenzhou, Fuzhou and Nanchang and other places have faster booking growth.

In addition, the young people’s leadership has changed the way of playing on May Day this year. Cross-city tourism is not as good as the music festival. According to data from Barley, during the May 1st holiday, more than 20 music festivals will be held across the country, and many music festivals will be held in tourist cities, such as Changzhou Taihu Bay Music Festival, Changzhou Xinlong Forest Music Festival, Hainan M_DSK Music Festival, Hangzhou Rabbit Yamashita Music Festival, Nanjing Midou Music Festival, Shanghai Guochao Music Festival, etc. There are also “old brands” such as the Wuhan Strawberry Music Festival. Over 60% of the users who bought the music festival during the May 1st period chose to watch the performance across cities.

The Pentagon wants to escape reliance on GPS because of concerns about China

Trung Hiếu — Thu, 15 Apr 2021 05:33:08 +0000

The US Navy tested its ability to navigate at sea using astronomical positioning, instead of relying on GPS, in preparation for the scenario of the system being attacked by adversaries.

There is a copy of the book “The American Practical Navigator” by Nathaniel Bowditch, first published in 1802 on each of the US Navy ships.

This is considered an encyclopedia about navigation, filled with data on the longitude and latitude of many places, from Bugio lighthouse in Lisbon, Portugal, to Kannonzaki lighthouse in Yokosuka, Japan.

The book provides detailed instructions on how to use a hexagonal glass to measure a ship’s current position by observing the Sun, Moon, stars, and horizon. However, the presence of this book on board is only a ritual, as the US Navy has long been accustomed to using electronic charts based on GPS, Nikkei Asia said.

But the threat of electronic warfare from rivals like China, forcing the US Navy to consider the possibility of reusing the supposedly outdated navigation system, in preparation for the GPS system scenario prepares the enemy. disable.

Combining ancient and modern

In August 2020, the USS Patriot, an Avenger-class minesweeper of the US Navy stationed at the port of Sasebo, Japan, crossed a distance of 1,700 km into the western seas solely by astronomical positioning.

A pilot is using the hexagonal glass to calculate the ship’s position in the Pacific. Photo: US Navy.

Every afternoon, sailors would take a hexagonal glass, a centuries-old measuring instrument, to measure the angle of the Sun at its highest point in the day. The data will be fed into a computer program called the astronomical estimation system of latitude and longitude, also known as STELIA.

Sailors also observed the angular distances between the horizon and the Moon, the planets and the stars to calculate longitude and latitude. On the command tower, a navigation team consisting of the captain, subordinate officer and the pilot uses manual measurement data to control the ship.

Astronomical navigation has disappeared from the US Naval Academy curriculum since 2006, because it was deemed obsolete. But since 2015, the technique has been reintroduced into the program, to teach students how to measure and apply math to locate.

The re-teaching of astronomical navigation has been prompted by the acknowledgment that the US armed forces are increasingly dependent on digital systems. An attack on the GPS system that the US military is relying on, could limit the capabilities of the world’s most powerful military.

This concern becomes even more urgent as China invests heavily in electronic warfare and cyberspace.

Peter Singer, an expert at the Center for New Security of America, said the battle to kick off the next big war will take place in silence. In other words, it’s the war in cyberspace.

If digital communication was to be attacked, the US Navy would have to rely on the natural world, ears and eyes to survive, which is the reason for the return of the hexagonal glasses.

Learn how to position birds

Mr. Singer said that in addition to the astronomical navigation system dating back to the 18th century, the US should study another smarter navigation system for navigating ships, or guided missiles without relying on GPS. , similar to how birds migrate annually.

One sailor is working on calculating longitude and latitude based on Bowditch’s book. Photo: US Navy.

“The way they (the birds) move is not memorizing, it’s how they perceive Earth’s magnetic field. Some insects can do this too, so in-depth research is needed to develop a digital version of how birds move, ”says Singer.

The U.S. Defense Advanced Projects Research Agency (DARPA) is pursuing the Adaptive Navigation System project, a navigation technique that can work in buildings, under dense canopy, under water and ground. This system is said to be superior to GPS.

In February, a team of scientists released a report stating that birds may have global GPS systems.

“The precise navigation of these little birds is amazing, as they move alone across the sea, across the vast desert and through extreme weather conditions is one of the long-standing mysteries. behavioral biology “, a British scientist wrote on the World Economic Forum.

This may be the answer the US military is looking for in its defense mission against electronic warfare operations by China and other adversaries.

Billy Fabian, senior analyst at data analytics firm Govini, said preparing for the scenario of digital communication disruption is crucial, given the potential confrontation with China.

The US military can ‘learn’ the birds to fight electronic warfare

Đức Trí/Báo Tin tức — Thu, 15 Apr 2021 03:53:13 +0000

In August 2020, the US Navy’s anti-torpedo boat USS Patriot traveled nearly 2,000km, relying only on astronomical navigation methods.

Specifically, at noon, sailors will take a hexagonal glass – a positioning tool that has existed for centuries – to measure the angle of the Sun at its highest point in the day. The data will be fed into a computer program called the Astronomical Latitude and Longitude Estimation System, or STELLA. They also observed the angular distances between the horizon and the Moon, the planets and the stars to calculate latitude and longitude.

On the jetty, a crew consisting of the captain, subordinate officers and the pilot used the above data to control the ship night and day.

The return of astronomical navigation

The Nikkei Asia Financial Times reported that astronomical navigation, or space travel navigation, disappeared from the US Naval Academy curriculum in 2006 because it was deemed obsolete. But in 2015, the school reintroduced this technique as well as sent students to a planetarium to teach how to measure and apply mathematics.

An officer on board the guided missile cruiser USS Mobile Bay uses a positioning device to measure the ship’s position in the Pacific. Photo: US Navy

The return to this method of positioning was prompted by the realization that if the US armed forces increasingly relied on digital communications, a blow to the Global Positioning System. (GPS) – on which this communications system relies on – could make it difficult for the army considered to be the most powerful in the world. That concern is growing in the face of China’s increased electronic and cyber-warfare capabilities.

Peter Singer, strategist at consulting firm New America and author of “Ghost Fleet: A Novel of Next World War” (roughly translated: Ghost Fleet: Novel of the Next World War) commented: “Battle The opening battle of the next great war will take place in silence ”.

According to him, this battle will not be the same as the battle of Pearl Harbor that dragged the United States into the war with Japan in 1941, nor the horrifying battle that opened to the Iraq War in 2003. “It may even have been and is already happening.” Because, in cyberspace, enemy moves still happen weeks, months or years before the outbreak of war.

If digital communications were to be removed, the US Navy would return to the natural world, relying on eyes and ears to survive. Therefore, a return of the hexagonal glass is imperative. But the strategist Singer believes that there are still two other options than this 18th-century utensil.

One is to build a more flexible communications network and improve network security to help the military combat any GPS-related challenges. Second is the development of highly intelligent systems that do not require GPS.

“For example, there is research showing that rockets can fly by navigating against a magnetic field,” says Singer. He equates this with the ability of birds to migrate as they travel thousands of kilometers to reach almost exactly one destination every year.

Answering Nikkei Asia, he explained: “It is not because they remember the way. That’s how they perceive the Earth’s magnetic field. The same goes for insects. So there has been high-tech research on developing digital versions of the way birds and insects navigate.

“Learn” from birds

The Department of Defense Senior Research Projects Administration (DARPA) is pursuing the so-called Adaptive Navigation System. This GPS-equivalent method of positioning, navigation, and time will work even in poorly wave places such as inside buildings, in canyons, in dense woods, underwater and underground. .

In February, a group of scientists including Professor Richard Holland at Bangor University and professor Dmitry Kishkinev at Keele University published a report indicating that birds can possess a “global GPS system. “.

“The amazingly precise navigation of these little birds – as they travel alone over stormy seas, across vast deserts, and through extreme weather and temperature extremes – has been one of the the enduring mysteries of biology, ”wrote British scientists for the World Economic Forum.

“An evidence-gathering agency has shown that the Earth’s magnetic field is one of the most likely theories for this mystery. It is thought that the different parameters of the Earth’s magnetic field could form a network of maps that birds will fly with, ”they said.

“If birds know that magnetic field strength increases as they go north, they will be able to detect their position on the North-South axis wherever they go,” the report said. said the report. This means that the birds are essentially navigating using a system similar to Cartesian coordinates – the basis of modern GPS navigation.

Nikkei Asia asked Holland if anything from bird navigation could be used in the military. “In theory, the Earth’s magnetic field could be used as a positioning system,” he said. However, he warned: “It is not clear whether this system can be used on a global scale as GPS could, since there are several locations on Earth that share the same characteristics. magnetism”.

However, this could be the answer the US military is looking for in its mission to protect against electronic warfare by China or other countries.

Billy Fabian, an expert at data and analysis firm Govini and a senior colleague at the Center for New American Security, says it’s important to prepare for the scenario where communications are disrupted. when considering the nature of a potential war with China.

“A future conflict between the US and China will be different from past conflicts in two respects,” he said. One, every sector will be highly competitive, and that’s different from what we’re used to. Second, we will be under enormous time pressure. Most of the places that you can imagine we will fight in the future are in the backyard of China, but one ocean away from the American continent.

The US military is also practicing the concept called “mission command”. Accordingly, the commanders at the front lines are empowered to plan, coordinate and execute decisions without having to ask for instructions from their superiors. In this way, small units can continue to operate even when communication is interrupted.
