The most "moat" prince personally participated in the UFO competition: the marksmanship was accurate and he was not angry and arrogant.

  Beijing, Rio de Janeiro, August 13 (Reporter Song Fangcan) On August 12-13, the UFO shooting range of the shooting center of the Rio Olympic Games welcomed an interesting player. He wore the No.2023 competition suit and held a 12-barrel shotgun with one stroke and one style, showing professionalism, every move and no anger.

  He is said bin Maktoum bin Rashid Allermark Toum, the beloved son of the former Sheikh of Dubai, United Arab Emirates, the nephew of the current Sheikh of Dubai, the vice president and prime minister of the United Arab Emirates, the owner of Dubai Youth Football Club, and a skeet shooter in this Olympic Games.

  Born in October 1976, Prince Said’s father was Sheikh Maktoum bin Rashid Allermark Toum, the last chief of Dubai Emirates. Sheikh also served as vice president and prime minister of UAE. However, in 2006, Sheikh died of a heart attack when he went to Australia to attend the Brisbane Jockey Club, at the age of 62. After Sheikh’s death, his 30-year-old son Prince Said did not take over as the chief, but became a brother and his brother.

  However, Saeed inherited many industries from his father, including his beloved horse racing "Lammtarra". His father’s assets are said to be tens of billions of dollars, and he has inherited a lot of them. In the official information about him in the Olympic Games, he also clearly emphasized his royal status, confirming that he is a member of the royal family of Dubai Emirates in the United Arab Emirates, his family owner is the world-class gold racecourse Godofen Racecourse, and he is also the chairman of Dubai Youth Football Club. In their career list, Olympic officials did not indicate "athletes" like other athletes, but "businessmen".

  According to the official information provided by the Olympic Games, Said has three children. However, news shows that this figure is obviously underestimated: Said has three wives and currently has nine children, including a pair of twins.

  With such a prominent status and amazing wealth, Saeed is a sports fan. In addition to inheriting his father’s racecourse, he also runs his own football club with outstanding performance in the UAE Super League. In addition, Dubai’s royal family has a tradition of martial arts. Said’s cousin Ahmed is a family model. He won the first Olympic gold medal for the United Arab Emirates in the men’s double skeet competition at the Athens Olympic Games.

  Not to be outdone, Saeed began to take part in UFO shooting training at the age of 19. Since 2000, he has appeared in the Olympic Games, when he won the ninth place in Sydney. This also greatly inspired him and made him feel that the success of copying his cousin was just around the corner. Since then, he has become a must-see guest in every Olympic Games, ranking 37th in Athens and 22nd in Beijing Olympic Games. As the flag bearer of the United Arab Emirates at the London Olympics, he performed well and won 13th place. In addition, he is also a frequent visitor to the shooting world championships, ranking between 15 and 100. In 2011, he ushered in a peak of his career. At the Shooting World Cup held in the United Arab Emirates, he won the championship at home. This Olympic Games is also the fifth Olympic Games he has participated in continuously, and he is looking forward to a breakthrough.

  The UAE Olympic Committee attaches great importance to Saeed’s participation and expects the Dubai royal to win a gold medal for the country. On its official website, it immediately notified Saeed’s appearance time, and the UAE Olympic Committee reminded people to pay attention to watching Saeed’s game, even if it was at 5: 30 in the local morning. The Olympic Committee of the country also emphasized that Saeed is "our hero". Although he was disturbed in preparing for the war after he arrived in Brazil, he concentrated on braving the dirt, dust and wind and rain of the stadium, "showing his strength in body and spirit."

  In the changeable weather of Rio Olympic shooting range, Saeed finally successfully completed the men’s skeet competition. On the first day of the game, he hit 23 in the first group, and then he played well in the second group, hitting 24. In the third group, the scene was stormy, and some players even hit only 21. However, Saeed resisted the pressure, hit 23 shots and entered the next day’s competition as the 14th.

  On the morning of the 13th, Saeed went into battle again. During the competition, unlike other nervous players, he seemed carefree and paced with peace of mind. He doesn’t like to talk to people, and he doesn’t get angry with himself. While other players are staring at the game nervously, even while waiting, it is a simulated shooting, but he is thinking quietly. In the fourth group, he hit 23. In the last group match in the afternoon, Saeed finally played his normal level and scored a perfect score of 25. However, because of the weather disturbance before, he was out of luck, ranking 17th with a total score of 118 (in fact, tied for 16th), and missed the subsequent semi-finals of the semi-finals and gold medal competition. Obviously, the rich prince was not satisfied with this achievement. After the game, he dumped his hand, then shook his head, took his coach and two followers, and left without saying a word.

  However, although the prince has extremely high requirements for his Olympic achievements, in the eyes of the UAE media "Sheikh 247", this veteran of the five Olympic Games is enough to be recorded in the history of the country’s participation in the Olympic Games. The media pointed out that Prince Said, who can participate in the Olympic Games, is by no means a hollow reputation. He was qualified for the Olympic Games in the third place at the Asian Championships held in New Delhi at the beginning of the year. At the Olympic Games, he was a slow-paced athlete, but years of training made him feel comfortable in the cruel competition and made few mistakes. The report also stressed that even if the results in 118 can’t make Prince Said advance to the semi-finals, it is enough to make the UAE proud and let the UAE flag "proudly fly high over the Rio Olympic Games"!

[Our reform and opening up] The story of three generations of grandparents and grandchildren and "potatoes"

  Cctv news I don’t like potatoes. 

  As soon as I ate it, I felt hungry when I was a child, accompanied by a sour stomach, which made me feel uncomfortable. 

  But I like potatoes very much. 

  The two are not contradictory.

  You call it potato, experts say it is potato, and we locals prefer to call it potato, so there is a popular local proverb that Dingxi has three treasures: potato, potato and potato. 

  I have dealt with it for decades, and I will continue to do so in the future. Many changes in my life are related to potatoes. I witnessed the "metamorphosis" of Dingxi potatoes, and potatoes also witnessed the great changes in our family’s life. 

  [1] Life-saving potato 

Zhang Shou and his father Zhang Fuqing and nephew Zhang Wenbin.

Zhang Shou and his father Zhang Fuqing and nephew Zhang Wenbin.

  My name is Zhang Shou and I was born in 1967. As long as I can remember, every afternoon, grandma always cooks a big pot of potatoes, which are eaten by big people, small pigs and seven or eight people in the whole family. The breakfast and lunch the next day are all potatoes. 

  Every day at school, the dry food in my bag is two boiled potatoes. 

  Although eating will be uncomfortable, but not eating, hunger is even more unbearable. 

  Looking back now, when I was a child, there were probably two things about food: eating a lot of potatoes and not having enough to eat. 

  There is a saying circulating in Dingxi, my hometown: "The mountain is a monk’s head, there is no water flowing in the ditch, and nine years out of ten people are worried", which sings the harsh ecological environment in my hometown. 

  We are in an arid area here, with little rain and water shortage in spring and summer. At that time, we had to plant nearly 40 mu of fields at home, such as wheat, millet, buckwheat, peas, lentils, beets and potatoes, all of which were dry land. It was not good to eat by the weather, but the yield of potatoes with long growth cycle was ok. 

  Therefore, when planning to plant every year, my father Zhang Fuqing will say that potatoes must be planted. 

  Potatoes are really life-saving food at home. Cooking, frying and frying are the most memorable ways to eat on holidays: cooking potatoes, peeling them and mashing them, then frying them, crushing them and stirring them together, making them red and white, which is called a fragrance. 

  Few people eat like this now. Although I don’t like potatoes, I still miss this way of eating. 

  In 1988, my second brother and I moved to Gaotai County, Zhangye City, Gansu Province (Editor’s Note: in the 1980s, the state launched the "Three Wests" [Dingxi, Hexi and Xihaigu in Gansu Province and Ningxia] to help the poor). Compared with my hometown, the terrain here is open and there is water, and I can gradually eat my stomach.

  [2] Sweet potato with enough food and clothing

  

In Zhang Shou’s memory, when he was a child, he depended on the weather to eat, and the crops in the field were all average. Only potatoes could make the family feel the joy of harvest.

  After getting married in 1992, my wife and I helped in my father-in-law’s restaurant, and later opened our own restaurant. We lived a busy life and could eat enough, but we didn’t make much money. 

  During this period, Dingxi potatoes became famous, and the planting scale expanded year by year (editor’s note: Dingxi implemented the "potato project" in the 1990s, aiming at solving the problem of food and clothing). Every autumn, foreign merchants gathered, and the streets were full of potato vendors, which was very lively. 

  My wife and I opened a restaurant on the roadside of the ancient town of Chankou, anding district, Dingxi City. The tourists are mainly van drivers. I chatted with these drivers who sell and transport potatoes and found that potatoes can really make money. 

  In 2003, I sold my house in Gaotai, closed my restaurant, and returned to Shijiacha Village, my hometown in Dingxi, where I planted nearly 20 acres of potatoes. This year, I earned more than 6,000 yuan just by potatoes. 

  In the next few years, although the income was guaranteed, farming was too hard and the potato market was good and bad. I think it needs to be changed. 

  [3] Rich potato

Nowadays, planting potatoes has long been mechanized.

Nowadays, planting potatoes has long been mechanized.

  In 2008, I rented a warehouse, planted potatoes, and started a potato agency business, bought potatoes and sold them to vendors. 

  I also met many people in the upper reaches of the potato industry. Starch can only be regarded as primary processing, and potato chips and chips are more profitable. Only then do we know that relying on small-scale planting alone will lead to insufficient labor force on the one hand, and great market fluctuation on the other, making it difficult to grow up. We should either give up planting and sell potatoes exclusively, or expand the planting scale. 

  My father has a deep affection for the land, and he always sighs every time he sees the land abandoned. For this reason, in 2013, I found four childhood partners, registered a cooperative, and expanded the planting scale. 

  I’m a bit short-tempered, and I’m always in a hurry. People around me call me "Zhang Sanfeng", so I simply named the cooperative "Sanfeng". 

  This year, I borrowed more than one million yuan to build 16 warehouses, which was really the most difficult year. More than 1,400 tons of potatoes were purchased, only more than 200 tons were sent out, and the remaining 1,200 tons were all in the warehouse, and the funds suddenly became particularly tight. 

  After entering the twelfth lunar month, the contractor led the workers to find my unpaid wages every day. But the payment is not in place, and I am also in a hurry. 

  I couldn’t sleep all night, and that winter was particularly difficult. Fortunately, on the thirteenth day of the first month, part of the payment was in place. 

  In 2014, I transferred 450 mu of cultivated land to grow potatoes. Since this year, cooperatives have gradually stepped onto the right track. 

  Since 2015, considering that the price of commercial potato fluctuates greatly, I began to mainly plant the original seed and the original seed (Editor’s note: the original seed is the seed potato originally produced by transplanting or cuttage with virus-free test-tube seedlings, which produces the original seed after planting, the first-class seed after planting, and the commercial potato after planting the first-class seed is potatoes). Good varieties of potatoes cultivated from various laboratories in Dingxi are sent to Inner Mongolia, Chongqing, Guizhou and other places. 

  [4] Xiaokang potato 

On the yellow land, potato is a green plant with small white flowers, which Zhang Shou thinks symbolizes hope.

On the yellow land, potato is a green plant with small white flowers, which Zhang Shou thinks symbolizes hope.

  Since 2015, the country has started the potato staple food strategy, and I think this is an opportunity. 

  In 2016, I transferred another 200 mu of land, and at the same time, I was equipped with relevant machinery and equipment. The cooperative planting basically relied on mechanization. 

  This year, my nephew Zhang Wenbin joined in. 

  Although Dingxi potato industry is very popular, there are very few young people in the planting process. Most of the members of the cooperative are close to my age, and most of the farmers in rural areas are elderly people over 60 years old. 

  In 2016, my nephew Zhang Wenbin took the initiative to find me, which surprised me. Born in 1990, he had been living in Zhangye before, and he was not particularly attached to potatoes. After graduating from technical secondary school in 2008, he worked in a factory, worked as a welder and drove a van. Unexpectedly, he suddenly found me one day and said that he would cooperate with me. 

  Of course I’m happy, but many young people are not interested in farming. 

  He wholesaled 80 tons of commercial potatoes from me and sold them in Dingxi potato trading market every day. He sold them out in less than two months, and he also made a lot of money with regular customers, so I was relieved. 

  I don’t know much about industrial upgrading, but it is inevitable that Dingxi potato will be transformed and upgraded. In recent years, the potato market has become more and more competitive, and green organic food is more popular. 

  In 2017, the pilot arable land in anding district was fallow. I contracted 1,700 mu of arable land in Bailu Township, anding district. In the first three years, I mainly planted arrowtongue peas, buttercups and so on. My nephew Zhang Wenbin and my son Zhang Wenwei basically worried about these things. After three years of planting, we plan to plant organic potatoes, without chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and use special farmyard manure. 

  In the past two years, I have gradually put sales and other work in their charge. Young people are more active than me and are willing to contact new things. 

  Do you know why Dingxi potatoes are popular? Because it has a long growth cycle and grows step by step, I hope my nephew and son can do things in a down-to-earth manner, step by step, whether they will continue to deal with potatoes in the future or not. 

  Standing in front of the old house, my father was very happy to see that there was still a lot of cultivated land on the roadside. His affection for the land far exceeded ours. 

  I don’t know if you’ve ever seen potato blossom, large and large. I think it’s really beautiful. Sometimes I’m very happy to see a large piece of land with a whole potato blossom. (Zhang Shou dictated CCTV reporter Wang Xiaoying finishing)

Rule of law story: A 12-year-old girl "ran away" was kidnapped and killed by her neighbors for seven years and buried in the kitchen.

  CCTV News (Rule of Law Online):Recently, the Intermediate People’s Court of Qingyang City, Gansu Province heard a case, which attracted local attention. The case happened in October last year. A local 12-year-old girl disappeared inexplicably, and then around the girl’s disappearance, her family encountered a series of strange things, which made the case full of twists and turns during the investigation and changed the investigation direction many times. With the verdict of the case, the mystery is solved, and people can’t help but sigh for the fate of the girl.

  First, the mystery: the missing family of a 12-year-old girl encountered something strange.

  On the evening of October 3, 2016, a pair of anxious parents came to the Xinzhuang police station of Ningxian Public Security Bureau in Qingyang City, Gansu Province.

  Zhao Liang, a policeman from Xinzhuang Police Station, Ningxian Public Security Bureau, Qingyang City: At 9: 30 in the evening, the couple came to our office, and they were very anxious when they entered the door. Soon my daughter (daughter) disappeared, so help me find my daughter. Then, through our understanding, we kept looking for a woman from four o’clock in the afternoon until nine o’clock in the evening, when they didn’t find her, and the couple went to our office for help.

  The daughter went out alone when she was reprimanded and unhappy.

  The informant is Huang, a villager in xin zhuang zhen. His missing daughter is only twelve years old. Huang said that on the day of his daughter’s disappearance, he once reprimanded his daughter and son for trivial matters.

  Li Wengang, Deputy Director of Xinzhuang Police Station of Ningxian Public Security Bureau, Qingyang City: According to the informant Huang, two children had an argument while watching TV that morning, and he gave them a lecture.

  After Huang reprimanded his son and daughter, her daughter was a little angry and went out alone. Huang thought that her daughter just wanted to go outside in a fit of pique, so she didn’t take it to heart. However, it was not until four o’clock in the afternoon that Huang returned home after finishing his work, only to find that his daughter still had not returned.

  Zhao Liang, a policeman from Xinzhuang Police Station, Ningxian Public Security Bureau, Qingyang City: At that time, Huang asked his son to look for his neighbor Shangmou’s house, because when the younger son went, he found that Shangmou’s door was locked, and when he came back, he told his father about it. This Huang was more anxious, and then he looked around the relatives, friends, daughter’s classmates’ homes and the village, but there was no trace of this woman.

  During the day, I went to my neighbor’s house to watch TV and go to the toilet, but I didn’t return.

  Shangmou mentioned by Huang has lived next door to his family since 2009. The two families get along well, and Huang’s two children often go to Shangmou’s house to play. According to Shang, the girl did go to his house to watch TV during the day, but he didn’t know where she went afterwards.

  Li Wengang, Deputy Director of Xinzhuang Police Station, Ningxian Public Security Bureau, Qingyang City: Shang said that (after watching TV) the child said that he went out to go to the toilet and never came in again.

  Zhang Xiaodong, Director of Xinzhuang Police Station of Ningxian Public Security Bureau, Qingyang City: Because this little girl is only twelve years old, she is not very old, and ordinary children are more playful. In addition, this missing place is located by a ditch, so we organized the police to search for the ditch and abandoned caves. Why should we search for this abandoned pile foundation and ditch? Because the terrain around her house is full of ditches, but after more than half a day of searching, we still can’t find this girl.

  Second, the suspense is repeated: strangers send text messages to tell the reason why the girl is missing.

  Just as everyone was trying to find the girl’s whereabouts, the case suddenly changed. The girl’s father suddenly received a short message from a stranger on his mobile phone, which told the reason why the girl was missing. At the same time, this short message seems to have changed the nature of the case.

  Zhang Xiaodong, Director of Xinzhuang Police Station of Ningxian Public Security Bureau, Qingyang City: The content of the message is that the person you are looking for is in his hand. If you want to see someone, you should call 100,000 yuan first and provide a bank card account. On the morning of October 5th, the family members also received a similar text message, so several text messages were sent in succession. After we learned of this situation, we made a timely response to the bureau.

  Whether you were kidnapped or not, investigate according to the content of the text message.

  Is it true that the girl was kidnapped? The police immediately launched an investigation into the authenticity of these short messages.

  Zhang Junwei, a policeman of the Third Squadron of the Criminal Police Brigade of Ningxian Public Security Bureau in Qingyang City: At that time, we asked our family members to dial these phone numbers first. The attribution of the mobile phone numbers showed Shenzhen, and the other party never answered the phone. We sent a text message to these mobile phone numbers, asking them to send the photo of this child first, but the other party never sent it.

  At the same time, the police learned that the girl’s family had posted a tracing revelation on the Internet.

  Zhang Junwei, a policeman of the Third Squadron of the Criminal Police Brigade of Ningxian Public Security Bureau in Qingyang City: After the analysis of the police handling the case, combined with the time that the little girl can’t find, we think that the credibility of this short message is relatively low, and it is very likely that criminals want to use this matter to conduct telephone fraud after seeing the little girl’s searching for you.

  Considering the high possibility of kidnapping SMS fraud, the police adjusted the direction of case investigation after analysis.

  Liu Yuan, squadron leader of the 3rd Squadron of Criminal Police Brigade of Ningxian Public Security Bureau, Qingyang City: According to our analysis, although this little girl is only twelve years old, at this age stage, she has her own analytical judgment ability, and it is impossible to be abducted by a stranger easily. Besides, shortly after the incident, we set up checkpoints at relevant intersections for investigation, and we didn’t get any clues. Therefore, we feel that the investigation of this case should return to the central site where this little girl disappeared.

  Third, the key link: investigating the accidental discovery of physical evidence by the last contact.

  The information that the girl was kidnapped turned out to be a scam. The police reorganized the information, focusing on the people the girl had contacted before she disappeared and the places she had been. According to all the known clues, the last person to see the girl was her neighbor Shangmou.

  Zhao Liang, a policeman from Xinzhuang Police Station, Ningxian Public Security Bureau, Qingyang City: At that time, when we went down to look for this child, this Shangmou was also helping to find it, and then we got to know about this situation. Shangmou told us that the child left his house when he was a little more, and then he never returned, so he didn’t know what happened afterwards. Until the couple looked for the child and said that the child was missing, he had been helping to find someone.

  However, when the police investigated Shang, they found an unexpected clue.

  Zhao Liang, a policeman from Xinzhuang Police Station of Ningxian Public Security Bureau, Qingyang City: During our inquiry at that time, we found that there was a little red mark on this Shang’s right shoe and left shoe, so we asked what this Shang was like, and Shang told us that he accidentally dropped the paint on his shoes when he painted the water pipe in his yard twenty days ago.

  Is it blood or paint on Shangmou’s shoes? Is he lying or not? At this time, the appearance of another important clue further increased Shang’s suspicion.

  Wang Chao, Deputy Squadron Leader of the Technical Squadron of Criminal Police Brigade of Ningxian Public Security Bureau, Qingyang City: When we arrived at Shangmou’s home, we conducted a wide-ranging search for police dogs used in his home and nearby. When searching for elements in the flue of a house in Shangmou’s home, the police dogs had a heavy sniffing reaction to the smoke crossing and immediately alerted the police.

  Subsequently, the police found several clothes from this flue.

  Wang Chao, Deputy Squadron Leader of the Technical Squadron of Criminal Police Brigade of Ningxian Public Security Bureau, Qingyang City: Through our technician’s investigation, we first found a child’s dress with blood on it, and then continued to explore. We found that it was an orange down jacket vest with obvious blood on it.

  In addition to bloody clothes, in the yard, the police also found something strange.

  Cao Gang, squadron leader of the technical squadron of the Criminal Police Brigade of Ningxian Public Security Bureau, Qingyang City: After we arrived at the scene at that time, we conducted a comprehensive and detailed survey of the site. After visiting the site, when we went to this kitchen and surveyed it, the kitchen was neat and tidy, and the ground was cleaned and sprinkled. After cleaning, there was water spraying, and the rotating block was wet, but after careful look, this kitchen, under the south wall, near the door, showed signs of someone turning.

  With more and more suspicious points on Shang, the police conducted a more careful investigation of Shang’s yard.

  Cao Gang, squadron leader of the technical squadron of the Interpol Brigade of Ningxian Public Security Bureau, Qingyang City: After turning the brick over, a pillow towel appeared first after the soil was dialed for about five centimeters, and the pillow towel was covered with this blood. After we continued to dial it, with the increase of the area of the soil dial and the deepening of the soil dial, the girl’s body was presented, and the whole was presented.

  My daughter’s misfortune was caused by her neighbor! This makes Huang’s family feel sad and puzzled. The two families live next door and have always had a good relationship. Why did Shang suddenly kill a 12-year-old girl? With Shang’s arrest, he himself told the truth behind it.

  Suspect Shangmou: Eva came to my house to watch TV that morning. At one o’clock in the afternoon, I killed her. My house was in financial difficulties, and I wanted to get some money from this baby (kidnapped), which was the way to get money by kidnapping. In the end, it was more serious, so I killed the baby.

  It turned out that the suspect wanted to kidnap the girl and ask her family for property. After being strongly resisted by the girl, he killed the girl.

  Zhang Junwei, a policeman of the Third Squadron of the Criminal Police Brigade of Ningxian Public Security Bureau in Qingyang City: According to the confession of the criminal suspect Shang Moming, a week ago, he had the idea of kidnapping the victim Huang Mouhua and asking his family for money. (2016) On October 3rd, around 13: 00, the suspect Shang Mouming tried to kidnap the victim Huang Mouhua, but in the process of kidnapping, he was fiercely resisted by Huang Mouhua. The suspect Shang Mouming was afraid that he would be exposed, and he brutally killed the victim Huang Mouhua and buried her under the ground in his kitchen.

  At present, the case is still under further investigation.

  Say a few more words

  At present, the Intermediate People’s Court of Qingyang City, Gansu Province has sentenced Shang to death for intentional homicide in the first instance, suspended execution for two years, and restricted his commutation. After the verdict was pronounced, the plaintiff filed an appeal with an incidental civil action, and the case is under further trial.

Seriously, please take off your underwear when running!

For a long time, there has been a discussion about whether running requires wearing underwear. Some people think that wearing underwear will bring discomfort and wear, while others think that wearing underwear can keep hygiene and avoid exposure. There are many opinions on this issue, and everyone has their own choices and reasons.

First of all, runners who run without underwear think that underwear may bring discomfort and friction. When we run for a long time, friction may cause harm to the skin, especially after sweating, and the friction of soaked underwear on the inner thigh will bring discomfort and trouble. In addition, when wearing tight compression pants, wearing underwear will lead to more friction and embarrassment, which will make the running experience uncomfortable. Therefore, not wearing underwear can reduce unnecessary friction and make runners feel comfortable and free.
However, some runners still insist on the reason of wearing underwear. For women, wearing underwear can prevent exposure, especially when running in shorts. In addition, wearing underwear can also maintain hygiene and avoid infection or discomfort caused by direct contact with sweatpants or fitness equipment. For male runners, wearing underwear can prevent the penis from shaking, thus giving necessary protection.

Wearing or not wearing underwear has its advantages and disadvantages. However, it is worth noting that personal choice and comfort are the most critical factors. Everyone’s body shape, preferences and sports needs are different, so it is important to choose the way that suits you.
On this issue, a survey in Runner’s World shows that more than 45% people choose not to wear underwear, while others hold different opinions. In fact, this is just a question of mode choice, and there is no uniform standard answer. Some people like the freedom and comfort of running without underwear, while others think that wearing underwear can provide protection and hygiene. In any case, as long as runners can find a way that suits them, there is nothing wrong.
Of course, when considering whether to wear underwear, you should also fully understand more knowledge about health and comfort. Experts suggest choosing comfortable and breathable sports underwear, such as adopting new fabrics and ergonomic design, which can reduce friction and discomfort. In addition, some people can choose to wear a layer of loose shorts to reduce the friction on the skin. According to personal experience and needs, gradually find a suitable way to wear.

In a word, for runners, choosing whether to wear underwear is a matter of personal preference and comfort. Everyone should make a choice according to their own needs and comfort. Whether you choose to wear underwear or not, you should pay attention to comfort and health factors to ensure that there is no unnecessary discomfort and wear during running. Finally, make a choice that suits you and enjoy a healthy and pleasant running experience.

China has visa-free access to 23 countries, with three more this year. Apart from Xintai, there is also this island country with pink beaches.

Years ago, China and Thailand signed an agreement on mutual visa exemption, which will take effect on March 1. In this way, the number of countries that have fully exempted visas from China has increased to 23:

Seven Asian countries: Thailand, Singapore, Maldives, Kazakhstan, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Armenia;

Five European countries: Albania, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia and San Marino;

Seven countries in America: Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Bahamas, Dominica, Ecuador, Grenada and Suriname;

2 countries in Oceania: Fiji and Tonga;

Two countries in Africa: Mauritius and Seychelles.

Among them, three countries were newly added in 2024, except Thailand, Singapore, and Antigua and Barbuda, which was originally unilaterally exempted from visas to China, and signed the visa waiver document at the end of January this year.

Antigua and Barbuda, referred to as Anba for short, is located in the northeast of the Caribbean and is a member of the Commonwealth. The whole country has only three islands, namely Antigua, Barbuda and Redonda.

This island country is deeply loved by the world’s richest people and is known as the "back garden of North America". It has hundreds of different types of beaches, including a 17-mile-long pink coastline, and international rowing competitions are held irregularly every year.

Most of the residents of Anba are descendants of African blacks. They are reasonable and courteous, and there is almost no loud noise in the street. Cars don’t honk and rush. The small double-decker buildings in the capital St. John are arranged along the street in an orderly manner.

During his visit to China, the Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda stated that "Antigua and Barbuda is willing to be a link between China and the Caribbean", and when faced with foreign media’s doubts about the decision to open an embassy in China, the Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda solemnly cleared China’s name.

At present, the transportation from China to Anba is not very convenient, so let’s take a look at the beautiful scenery of this friendly country first ~

Port St. John

St John’s Port is the capital port of Antigua and Barbuda, and tens of thousands of people come and go here every year just for a quiet holiday.

There are not many high-rise buildings here, but brightly colored huts and white baroque church towers are dotted among them, giving you a pleasant leisure under the palm trees and sunshine.

You can change into a beach skirt, recline in the lounge chairs scattered on the beach, look at the shipyard near the port and the bay full of sailboats and yachts, or climb Shirley Heights to overlook the whole island. The blue sea is full of white sails, and the mountains on the shore are endless. The meeting of mountains and the sea has become an unforgettable sight.

Darkwood Beach

There are more than 300 different types of beaches in Antigua and Barbuda, and Darkwood Beach is one of the undeveloped beaches, but it is deeply loved by local people and foreign tourists.

The beach is located in the west of Antigua, with convenient transportation. The undeveloped original ecological landscape makes the deep blue sea and the white beach clearly defined, which is full of a sense of magic.

Many people like to sunbathe here and spend the whole day. After the sun sets, the orange glow of the sunset is reflected on the coastal beach, which seems to have strayed into the wonderful fairy tale world.

Banyuewan Beach

As the name suggests, Half Moon Bay is surrounded by crescent-shaped fine sand and blue sea, and it has an idyllic scenery like a crescent moon resting at the southeast end of Antigua.

Underwater is a gorgeous coral reef with different postures, and the water surface is a natural plant that grows wantonly. When it is calm, it is very suitable for snorkeling and exploring the underwater scenery of the Caribbean.

Devil bridge

"Devil’s Bridge" is a natural limestone arch carved by the powerful waves of the Atlantic Ocean, where the waves roll and are spectacular.

However, under the beautiful scenery, there are some blood and tears. It is said that during the British colonial period, many oppressed slaves lost their lives here. Every pothole in limestone is a memory of that period of history, and under the scouring of sea breeze and waves, it tells the past.

Pink beach

When the deep blue meets the hazy powder, this pink beach in Antigua and Barbuda is enough to capture the hearts of all girls.

After the local endemic foraminifera were hit by waves and fish, they fell on the beach in groups, and their remains were weathered, washed and piled up, creating a magical and magnificent pink beach. Walking barefoot on the beach, the sea glides over the feet, and the blue and pink blend, hazy and dreamy.

315, talk about the rights and interests of lottery consumers

Original Jasen Public Welfare Times Zhonghua Caixun

World Consumer Rights Day

It’s another year of International Consumer Rights Day. Without any accident, today’s hot search seat has been booked by CCTV 315 party.

Every year 315, there is a hot search every year! What are you concerned about this year?

This morning, the circle of friends in the industry was screened by the article "3 15 | China Welfare Lottery, Responsibility First, Integrity First". As the article said, in the lottery industry, lottery players are both practitioners of public welfare and consumers. Then let’s talk about the rights and interests of lottery consumers!

As we all know, consumers’ rights and interests refer to the rights and interests that consumers enjoy in accordance with the law when they receive goods or services for compensation, and in a certain period of time. It is a right given to the end users of goods to meet the objective needs of economic operation under certain social and economic relations. As early as the early 1960s, the International Consumers’ Union had determined that consumers had nine basic rights, such as the right to security, the right to know the truth, the right to choose independently, the right to fair trade, and the right to supervise and criticize. China’s Consumer Protection Law also affirmed these rights of consumers.

Then, in the lottery industry, how are the lottery consumers’ rights and interests reflected in the lottery related laws and regulations?

1. Right to security: refers to the right of consumers to protect their personal and property safety from damage when purchasing or using commodities or receiving services.

There is no doubt about this. Lottery players, whether buying lottery tickets or accepting redemption services, have the right to protect their personal and property safety.

In order to protect the personal and property safety of lottery winners, Article 27 of the Regulations on Lottery Management stipulates that lottery issuers, lottery sales organizations, lottery agents and other personnel who know the personal information of lottery winners due to their positions or business convenience shall keep the personal information of lottery winners confidential; Article 43 of the Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the Regulations on Lottery Management also stipulates that lottery issuers, lottery sales organizations, lottery agents and their staff members shall not ask lottery winners to donate winning prizes for any reason and in any way against their own wishes.

Therefore, if you encounter personal and property safety damage when buying lottery tickets, it may be a "black shop", please call the police immediately.

2. Right to know the truth: it is the right of consumers to know the real situation of the goods they buy or use or the services they receive.

Lottery issuance aims at public welfare, and lottery buyers are doing public welfare. Therefore, lottery players’ right to know has always been a right stipulated in lottery laws and regulations. With the expansion of lottery issuance and sales scale and the lottery public welfare fund playing an increasingly important role in social welfare and public welfare undertakings, the implementation of lottery players’ right to know has attracted more and more attention.

There are many provisions on lottery consumers’ right to know the truth in the Regulations on Lottery Management. For example, Article 11 stipulates that if the lottery varieties are approved to be opened or stopped or the examination and approval items of lottery varieties are changed, the lottery issuing institution shall announce the relevant information to the public 10 natural days before the opening, change and suspension. Article 24 stipulates that lottery issuing institutions and lottery sales institutions shall, after the sales of each lottery, announce the sales of the current lottery and the lottery results to the public in a timely manner. Article 36 stipulates that the management and use units of lottery public welfare funds shall be subject to the supervision of financial departments, audit institutions and the public according to law; Units that manage and use lottery public welfare funds shall announce the use of public welfare funds to the public every year. Article 37 stipulates that the financial departments of the State Council and the people’s governments of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government shall report to the people’s governments at the corresponding levels on the collection, distribution and use of lottery public welfare funds in the previous year, and make an announcement to the public.

The detailed rules for the implementation of the lottery management regulations have refined these regulations. For example, Article 31 stipulates that lottery issuers and lottery sales organizations shall announce to the public the sales volume, winning amount, prize pool fund balance and adjustment fund balance of each lottery variety in the previous year before May 31 each year. Article 39 stipulates that lottery issuing agencies and lottery sales agencies shall timely, accurately and completely announce the lottery sales and lottery draws in the current period to the public, including: (1) the name of the lottery game, the date or issue number of the lottery; (two) the current lottery sales amount; (3) The lottery results of the current period; (four) the balance of the prize pool funds; (5) the redemption period.

The right to know the truth is not only an urgent right for lottery consumers, but also a right for the public to the lottery industry.

3. Independent choice: consumers have the right to choose their own goods or services.

In China, lottery sales adhere to the principle of voluntary purchase by lottery players. When buying lottery tickets, lottery players have the right to choose which games to bet on and which games not to bet on, and they can also refuse the bundled sales and forced buying and selling of lottery agents.

Article 2 of the Regulations on Lottery Management clearly stipulates that the lottery mentioned in this Regulation refers to the certificate that the state issues and sells according to law in order to raise social welfare funds and promote the development of social welfare undertakings, and natural persons purchase it voluntarily and get the chance to win the prize according to specific rules. At the same time, Article 18 also stipulates that lottery issuers, lottery sales agencies and lottery agents shall not make false or misleading propaganda, and shall not engage in unfair competition by means of slandering peers.

4. Fair trade right: refers to the right of consumers to obtain fair trade such as quality assurance, reasonable price and correct measurement when purchasing goods or receiving services.

Article 4 of the Regulations on Lottery Management clearly stipulates that the issuance, sale and drawing of lottery tickets shall follow the principles of openness, fairness, impartiality, honesty and credibility.

As we all know, the sales price of lottery tickets is clearly stipulated. The computer ticket game 2 yuan pays a note, that is, the invoice has different face values, which is also a "clearly marked price". In order to ensure the fair trading rights of lottery players, lottery distribution and sales organizations have also stipulated that lottery agents shall not change or change the denomination of lottery tickets in disguise.

At the same time, lottery agents must provide lottery players with legal and compliant lottery tickets, that is, welfare lottery tickets and sports lottery tickets licensed by the State Council. Article 38 of the Regulations on Lottery Management stipulates that anyone who, in violation of these regulations, issues or sells lottery tickets without authorization, or issues or sells overseas lottery tickets in People’s Republic of China (PRC) constitutes a crime, shall be investigated for criminal responsibility according to law; If it does not constitute a crime, the public security organ shall impose administrative penalties on public security according to law; If there are illegal gains, the illegal gains shall be confiscated.

5. Right of supervision and criticism: refers to the right enjoyed by consumers to supervise goods and services and the protection of consumers’ rights and interests.

The right of supervision and criticism is also a right of lottery consumers, and the implementation of this right has a great relationship with the implementation of lottery players’ right to know. For example, Article 20 of the Regulations on Lottery Management stipulates that lottery issuing institutions and lottery sales institutions shall promptly announce the lottery issuance and sales to the public and accept the supervision of the public.

In addition, lottery sellers also enjoy the right to win the prize, that is, within the validity period of the prize, the lottery winners will win the prize with the winning lottery ticket and ID card, and the relevant sites and lottery agencies may not refuse to win the prize.

Article 25 of the Regulations on the Management of Lottery stipulates that the lottery winner shall present the winning lottery ticket to the designated place for redemption within 60 natural days from the date of drawing the lottery. If the rules of lottery varieties stipulate that it is necessary to show his identity document, he shall also show his identity document.

Beginning of winter today: autumn is over and new winter is coming.

November 8th in the solar calendar is the beginning of winter of the 24 solar terms. The reason why it is called "beginning of winter" means that from today on, it will officially enter the winter. Many plants have fallen leaves, many animals have begun to hibernate, and migratory birds will fly to the warmer south for the winter. So, how much do you know about the legend and origin of beginning of winter? Do you know the cultural connotation of beginning of winter? Let’s take a look ↓

The Legend of beginning of winter

In the past, there was a saying in old Beijing that "winter solstice wonton and summer solstice noodles". According to legend, during the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu in the north often harassed the frontier, and the people were restless. At that time, there were two leaders of Hun tribe and Tun tribe, which were very cruel. The people hated it, so they wrapped it into a corner with meat stuffing and called it "wonton" with the sound of "muddy" and "tun". Hate to eat, and seek to calm the war and live a peaceful life. Because wonton was originally made on the winter solstice, every family eats wonton on the winter solstice.

Eating "frozen ears" is a common name for Henan people to eat jiaozi during the winter solstice. Why is there such a food custom? According to legend, Zhang Zhongjing, a doctor in Nanyang, was an official in Changsha. When he retired from his old age, it was a snowy winter and the wind was biting. He was very sad when he saw the villagers on both sides of Nanyang Baihe River with their clothes uncovered, and many people’s ears were frozen rotten. He asked his disciples to set up a medical shed in Guandong, Nanyang, put mutton, peppers and some cold-dispelling medicinal materials in a pot and cook them, fished them out and chopped them up, imaged their ears with a leather bag, and then put them down and cooked them in a pot to make a kind of medicine called "soup for dispelling cold and correcting ears" for the people to eat. After eating, the villagers’ ears were cured. Later, on the winter solstice, people imitated and cooked, so the custom of "pinching ears" was formed. Later, people called it "jiaozi", and some called it "flat food" and "instant noodle dumplings". It was also said that people would not be frozen in jiaozi after eating the winter solstice.

The origin of beginning of winter

In ancient China, people used to take beginning of winter as the beginning of winter, and twenty-four solar term said, "Stand, build." He also said: "Winter is the end, and everything is collected." Beginning of winter not only represents the coming of winter, but also represents the collection of all things to avoid the cold.

The Cultural Connotation of beginning of winter

Beginning of winter is the first solar term in winter, representing the beginning of winter. Twenty-four solar terms are the product of ancient farming civilization, and farming production is closely related to the rhythm of nature. In beginning of winter, all autumn crops have been harvested, collected and put into storage, and animals have been hidden for hibernation.

Meteorological changes in beginning of winter

In the southern region, sunny, warm and comfortable "Xiaoyangchun" weather often occurs during the period from the beginning of winter to the light snow. In the folk, there is a saying that "it’s sunny in October", as the saying goes, "it’s warm in August and warm in September, and it’s sunny in October". It is generally not very cold in the early winter season in the south, but with the passage of time, cold air frequently goes south and the temperature gradually drops.

In the area near the north of Huaihe River in Qinling Mountains, cold air frequently appears, and cooling has become the normal state in this season. In the northeast and northwest regions, it is already a scene of heavy snow at this time, especially in the northeast Heilongjiang region, which has been extremely cold and entered winter long before the arrival of beginning of winter.

Beginning of winter custom

Jiaozi eats onions in the north and mutton in copper pot is good for winter. There are many customs in beginning of winter. Let’s take a look ~

Eat dumplings

Beginning of winter is at the turn of the Spring and Autumn Period, and people have the custom of eating jiaozi when they have sex, so jiaozi has become a must-have meal for beginning of winter, a northerner.

instant-boiled mutton

In the south of China, people like to eat chicken, duck and fish in beginning of winter, and weddings, a winter tonic restaurant such as "Mutton Stove" and "Ginger Duck" on the street. Many families also stew sesame oil chicken and Siwu chicken to supplement energy.

Eat raw onions

There is a proverb in Nanjing: "One and a half onions a day bring wind to your legs in winter." As soon as beginning of winter arrived, the old Nanjing people paid special attention to eating raw onions. At home, there was a small dish filled with balsamic vinegar on the dining table. Before the meal, green and white chopped green onion was added, and then attractive sesame oil was dripped, and fish or meat was eaten with chopped green onion.

Fermented yellow rice wine

It is a traditional Shaoxing wine-making custom to start brewing yellow wine on the day of beginning of winter. Winter is the most suitable season for wine fermentation, with clear water and low temperature. The period from beginning of winter to beginning of spring in the following year is most suitable for making yellow rice wine, which Shaoxing people call "winter brewing".

Eat sugar cane

In Chaoshan area of Fujian, beginning of winter wants to eat sugar cane and stir-fried fragrant rice. There is a saying among local people that "beginning of winter’s chewing cane is toothless", which means "beginning of winter’s" sugarcane will not get angry after eating it.

Among them, the data determines the intelligent scope of the big model, and the financial industry has mastered a large number of historical data and written materials, which provides natural convenience for the development of the big model of the industry; Financial technology enterprises have also formed their own unique solutions in the process of financial digitalization and intelligence in terms of algorithms and computing power. Huang Aizhou predicts that as the bottom big model changes from increment to stock stage, fighting for quality and landing will become the focus of competition, and the competitive advantage of enterprises on the reasoning side of the power model will be further revealed.
